Howard and Mrs. Mary C. Boone, national committeeman and committeewoman, respectively. The delegates will go uninstructed but will probably lean towards Hoover. Speaking of the faction headed by George L. Shelden, former governor of Nebraska, but now a Mississippi planter, Hoover said: "If they can build a party in Mississippi from the ground up, that the national party will recognize in preference to the organization of long standing, then I am willing to withdraw from the party forever." Howard read an extract from a letter from W. M.

Chicago, IL—(ANP) In spite of the fact that the coroner's jury has taken over a week, the murderers of Oren Stanley, who was slain here on a primary election, are still at large. The coroner's jury has interrogated a large number of eye-witnesses to the traditional testimony. Several witnesses have testified that the Deneen were in the police car, while others have fastened the crime on gangsters. The coroner reached Thursday when H. P. Gros, another Deneen worker, drew a ninety percent chance on the near west side at the time when Granady was killed and men in the car had his idea as to who did the killing, but feared to reveal his opinion at this time. Notwithstanding that the murderers would have learned that would fasten the crime upon any particular individual, police cannot have planned that the murderers will be apprehended before the case is continued.

The person in question is so well known to so many colorful people of the West, that it is the West is so peculiar, that it is interesting. All the colored people of the West are shouting, lashing, Lane her mother and her sister and her brothers. Many of the colored people of the West are shouting, Lane family and know that they are all "colored," as colored people go in the United States, as colored people go in the Baltimore and Washington know this family, and one of them would find it difficult to pass for another, like a girl.

He has spoken on this subject to white audiences or to audiences partly from his cross-questioning and submitting: "Is that what you want?—Maybe that is what interacial harmony we are not discussing the merits of these questions nor the merits of colorism? We are simply describing a situation. Here is a colored girl, known to thousands of colored people ever since she was born, who will fight to be what America decrees that she should be. And yet white people are the mulattoes have passed over in it to the white race, and colored people say that the "white Negroes" are now many colored people from the East, who are now white people in the circumstances.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1928 NEGRO ACTORS DISCUSSED BY WHITE AUTHOR NEGRO ACTORS DISCUSSED BY WHITE AUTHOR Philadelphia, Pa. — (ANP) —Negro theatrical talent is as fine and as abundant as that of white actors, but it is spied by the 'solo-importance' the race assumes as soon as it has attained. The production was an assertion made Sunday by Jasper Dester, director of the Hedgow Playwrights, playwright, playwright, and director of last year's Pultizer prize play, in a lecture on "The Negro Theater" at Kenneth Israel Temple. The character is favored by white critics, Mr. Dester said, "he immediately gets a case of self-affirmation" using self-affirmation among his own race the others display intense jealousy and endeavor to pull him down. For the last two years, they will not stand for an unequal situation among their own kind. They are decidedly easier to handle, they are more prompt and, in spite of the contrary public stories, they are more decidedly similar to that of other Citing as proof of his contention a number of successful plays staged by the Negro in the 1930s pointed out and insisted that the talent of the Negro is a natural gift of the Negro and almost an insult "The Negro is a man who goes into the white man's theater or appears before white audiences. He wants a master of his own," declared Mr. Dearborn. In Patronized By Stars "This fact," he continued, "due to the patronizing attitude of important audience members, is superintensive of his supposed inferiority. The fact that the audience victorious is also an important factor. No audience will go to see a film that is victorious in and in which the white man gets the worst end of it." An explanation by an incident during the run of Eugene O'Neill's "Emperor Jones," it was being staged in Wintersburg, and in which Mr. Deuster to part. "In this play," the speaker added, "centrated, for not only was the audience divided into black and white players, but also the play, the white man played, attack by the Negro, the black section of the white audience prepared to walk out. In the matter of fact, the director of the Hedgerow players explained, "there is actually no Negro theater, but the audience one is very good, provided the correct material in regard to play and actors is used to proper advance."

Prejudice Fighting vs Prize Fighting Prejudice Fighting vs Prize Fighting BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) Ever since Godfrey licked that Spaniard in Los Angeles, there has been a sweeping storm of sentiment against prime fighting. We, too, are opposed to the savage and commuter Spaniard to it before Godfrey fought the Bastache, and we would have been opposed to it even if the white man had won.

Are they at least, answers for itself, in an editorial not proceeding? the fight The Negroes fighting white men is a bad thing. Get that? The "Examiner" does not say that white men fighting Negroes men fight them. The Negroes would either run or stand still and take action, but the Negroes would not be quite so "bad" if they all. Notice carefully the "Examiner" does not even say that white men fighting white men to fight each other. Now, the "women's club" are not the "Examiner," they are to be opposed to "brutal prize fighting," only the clapped up on the dakest. The "Examiner," they proclaim, the week before the fight, the chance to stop the fight it was over. Pauline's face might have been saved an awful binge up in the hospital.

PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS AN ESTIMATE OF HERBERT HOOVER The important place that Herbert Hoover occupies in the public mind is a presidential prospect quite naturally gives rise to an inquiry on the part of the Negro public as to how the browne fathers in the department must be the executive head. Mr. Hoover is the secretary of commerce and administers one of the most far-flung departments of the government service, certainly the department that has most to do with the everyday business activities of the people. He is the center of interest of our people in a phase of Mr. Hoover's career that is not touched upon in the general press, and about which there is likely to be a paucity of information, the Associated Negro Press directed its Washington representative to make a definite and definite statement. Mr. Hoover's record. The findings are here submitted; and it may be said that they are most gratifying to those with any degree of well-developed No less than twelve large bureau with a great number of service divisions, and many branch offices and offices, and in almost every one of the establishments identified with the department, colored men and women were found to be employed. Some of the men were employed in one of sorts of one sort or another, and To beautify hair naturally! others doing important work without attracting any undue attention. The functions of the department of commerce tends to keep the institution filled with the type of people whose knowledge has been likely to be acclaimed. The commerce department carries out the commerce in the more than 215 Negroes in the department service in Washington and 19 more in the field service of one bureau or the other, the income of $28,580, while the field force receipts for $23,840 each year, more than a quarter of a million dollars annually. In addition to these there are many men who have been scattered as seamen and in other capacities in the lighthouse service on tenders where the information is difficult to obtain deficient identification of the facts concerning them in time for use of the information not appear in any segregated form on payrolls and the last tabulation in 1923 when 885 were so engaged, drawing $411,700; and it is known that the number has been increased The addition of these figures, even on the old tabulation material, was made several thousand dollars that reaches the race group through department of commerce. It is inevitable that among so many there should be some who understand the process. Perhaps one with the most experience, a statistician in the division of statistics of the Bureau of Statistics, who is the senior member of that organization. He has been in the government, the only living member of the original group of statisticians that were employed in the bureau's department when the bureau was tabled to become the nucleus of the new institution, and who is still active. Dr. McDuffie is a fine old gentleman and a pioneer of American University of the class of 1888, who came to Washington from Georgia, and became then reared a fine son who today occupies a position of prominence in the high schools of the! Goneall White, Leading Lady city. The doctor, with Thomas Dent another Georgian, who is now widely known as a medical personnel deputy in the Shriners, as well as the holder of other import duties, has been involved in tabulations on ship tonnage, and custom house receipts. The work comes from the fact that the flag of the United States, into a pleasant face, facing a public square In 1913 the census bureau had occasion to assemble a group of more than 864-page report and history of the Negro population of the United States, and a 864-page report and history of the 1990 to date. Robert Pelham, secretary of the Negro academy, a department of the U.S. government informed statistician, was placed in charge of the big job that required him to write a report. The report proved itself to be one of the most popular documents ever issued to the public. Pelham pages give full credit to Pelham, Harlan, Hahn, and Jennifer. Hahn and Jennifer still important cogs in the census bureau and highly regarded as a statistician and research man by their director. In the foreign and domestic commercial literature for the guidance of American business is distributed, we find John A. Fuller, a research man, Stephen A. Fuller, a wiry, quick-thinking little colorado man who has colored pieces of business literature. His research, a Howard University graduate, who has some excellent business pro- In this bureat there is also a mall distribution service, where an average customer moves in and out of the commerce building under the guiding hand of a first-class mail, first-class mail, Charleston, who, by a way, is a Shrine of official of Mecca temple, with two chefs and five auto mechanics, and several hundred special delivery and registered packages to and from alibaba.com, and forwards several tons of supplies and office equipment during the same week.

Jackson, widely known as a though a newcomer, comparatively, is in charge of one of the most commercial commerce division, the section devoted to small business units, and which touches upon the affairs of the country. Jackson is not enameled new to government agencies having an officer and a railway police investigator before going into compartment Alogether, it would seem that the race has fared well at the hands of the department. The human side of the secretary as reflected in his attitude is that he is more involved in the relation of an incident in which a department chauffer figured. He the man who drives the secretary. For nine months he had driven Mr. Hirsch before that worthy gave opportunity to the chauffer told him that he would like more wages, stating that he got a salary that was more amazed, and declaring that he wanted more than a hundred dollars per month gave him a check for back pay on his salary. He did noted that his salary be raised. The man has enjoyed several raises since he was hired $1500 dollars per year. This incident, more than anything else, discloses the humanness of the secret of the department of commerce mercy. FURMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1928 ch, Friday, Work In Do Hoover Pr DR.

This question re- flected his love for Jesus. 3. Young man with a double character. "Jesus behold him, loved him." He gems moral, honest, earnest and cour- sioned. He was willing to do something to fill up that which was lacking, therefore he came to Jesus to make inquiry as to Jesus' really (v. 18, 19). He knew the young man's heart and put his finger on the weak spot in his life. Jesus reiterated the command that he had all his life kept these commandments, but when it came to parting with his possessions in order to help his neighbor he parried with him. 3. Lacking one thing and yet lost (vv. 21, 22). He told the Lord pointed out to him that in the life of his life was the love of money, he was unwilling to pay the price. When the time came in his life to choose between eternal life and parished company with Christ. 4. The peril of riches (vv. 23-27). Jesus said, "How hardly shall you possess the kingdom of God." When He discerned the atonement of the disciples he answered again and said, "How hard shall you enter into the kingdom of God." It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to possess the kingdom. The difficulty does not lie in the fact that a man possesses riches, for one man possesses wealth, for the kingdom of the kingdom. Wealth is a mighty power. In itself it is good. It will provide bread for the widow and the poor, and it will send the gospel of Christ to the ends of the earth. The peril of riches is the ever, the step from possession of riches to trusting in them is a very short one. The tendency of growing riches is the peril of the soul. So long as a man possesses riches he is safe, but as soon as riches possess the man he is in deadly peril. The Widow Mice (Mary 12: 41-44). Jesus had spent a strenuous day in the surgeing thunder. Observe 2. A certain poor widow threw into the treasury two mills (v. 42) of coins, one of gold and one of copper coin mule. The mule was worth about one-eighth of a cent, therefore her offering was one-fourth of a cent in the treasury. 3. Jesus said unto His disciples, "Verily I say unto you that this poor widow lath care in more than all men" (v. 43) of "virtue" (v. 43). The Lord estimates gifts by the motive of the heart, not by their amount. 4. By what the given has left, not by what was given (v. 44). This widow cast into the treasury all that she had, even all the money she had. 5. Their abundance. Though their gifts were much more than that of the poor widow, yet they had an abundance of this. This woman's influence goes on. Many devoted Christians have given her example and have given On God's Presence Let us build our cottage so that every window may look out on the mighty Alps of God's presence, and that we may live, move and have life, beneath the constant impulse being, "God in a hero"—F.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER "It Gets You Told—Nothing Else!" MEMBER NATIONAL PRESS PRESS ASSOCIATION Published every Saturday by the Webster-Richardson Publishing Company Inc. 409-111 Smith Street, Houston, Texas. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1928 OUR PARTISAN POSITION EXPLAINED Some of the colored citizens are engaging in surmises and reaching conclusions regarding our political or partisan stand in the Republican situation in Harris County and Texas, particularly as it relates to the regular organization headed in this county by R. B. Morris, county chairman. It will be recalled that this author was a candidate against Mr. Murray, the county chairman or chairman of the Republican executive committee of Harris County; and that a district judge refused to issue a mandatory woll compelling the Republican executive committee of Harris County to place this author's name on the official ballot as a candidate for said elective office. The result of that fight is well known to most residents of this city and section. It will also be borne in mind that, starting back in 1920, this editor has always been aligned with the Republican faction fighting the regular Republican organization, both in this county and in Harris County. He recognized the recognized organization, but because we differed as to partisan policy, program and procedure. After looking over the field of presidential prospects, this editor and paper chose to support Herbert C. Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination, and it so happened that several of the leaders in the regular Republican organization in this city and county were and are also favorable to Mr. Hoover's candidacy. When The Informer came out for Mr. Hoover, certain local residents of the white race sought a conference with this editor, and discussed at length the political situation, particularly interracial, in this city and county. At this and subsequent conferences, we had our white conferences to understand that we wanted no financial remuneration, as such, for our support of Mr. Hoover's candidacy; that we favored the present secretary of commerce for the presidential election; that we wanted to have Hoover even if our warring factions could not get together on terms of peace and declare a partisan and political armistice. At these parliies we contended that the Negroes of Houston and Harris County, as well as Texas, did not want to dominate the Republican party or any other partisan organization; but we wanted to have Hoover participate in partisan participation and representation; and that upon this basis—partisan participation and representation—we would bury the hatchet and line up with the regular organization in this county and district; particularly; but we also made it quite plain to local Republican leaders that, while we were willing to support Mr. Hoover and attempt to work out a harmony program, we would not swallow, without protest, the kind of political concoction and partisan dope which R. B. Creeger, Republican national committeeman for Texas and titular head of the party on this state, has been dispensing to the colored Republicans of Texas during his administration. Mr. Hoover several weeks ago, we sought to make our position in this matter quite clear and plain; and later this writer was one of the moving spirits in a statewide conference, held at Dallas under auspices of the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, where a program was outlined seeking to unify and solidify the belligerent Republican factions in Texas on the same basis as effected in Harris County. WE HAVE NOT "SOLD OUT" THE RACE NOR OUR CAUSE TO ANY PERSON, GROUP OR CLIQUE, AND NO ONE HAS SOUGHT TO "BUY US!" It is simply a case of politics making strange bedfellows, so (a speak, for, as stated before, both this editor and the regular Republican organization found themselves supporting and working for the presidential nomination of the same distinguished candidate, Mr. Hoover. Hoover's cause could be considerably advanced and enhanced in this section, and even the state, if all of his supporters worked in harmony and as a unit, rather than as separate and distinct units. We believe that the majority of colored citizens of Texas, whether they agree with and are willing to line up with the Creager-Note regime or not, are not unfavorable to Mr. Hoover's candidacy; for candor and frankness, rather than political compulsion unbiased and unpredicted Texas of color, we believe that the majority fitted for the debate within the gift of the American electorate, and that there is not another man being mentioned for the presidential nomination, by either of the major parties, who has the qualifications to the marked degree as possessed by Mr. Hoover. We have stated before, and wish to repeat it here, that all citizens wishing to participate in the Republican precinct conventions on Saturday, May 5, 1928, must respond to the official call issued by the regular Republican organization, despite the propaganda and ill advice of some of the anti-Creager and anti-Clague members. Nothing can be gained by remaining outside the organization and fighting, but much can be gained by getting inside the organization and seeking to effect such reforms. Another thing: No organization, political, religious, civic or whatnot, can thrive and grow and maintain its hold upon its constituents, if said organization is constantly and continually in an internal wrangle and factional controversy; and even the Republican party of Texas is no exception to this general rule. The Republican party of New York is no exception to this norm. BOOVER—HARMONY—HAPPINESS! The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper G. O. P. Leaders- INSTRUCTING DELEGATES FOR HOOVER The Informer has been asked by several Hoover supporters if this paper, the original (and up to the present time, the only avowed) Hoover supporter in Texas among race newspapers, is favorable to an instructed Hoover delegation from Texas to the Republican National Convention, which convenes at Kansas City, Mo. June 12, 1928. (Continued From Page One) I had rather see the no-called Republican party of Texas as it functions and stands today die; be effaced and driven from the confines of the state, and Hoover control the Grand Old Party of Texas. If E. H. R. Green, the governor of Texas, is a populist publican whom I have ever known, should come to Texas and form a political coalition with R. B. Greater, the governor of Texas, who him as the best political friend the Republicans of Texas ever had, I would oppose with every ounce of my vote. When discussing this matter on two former occasions, The Informer took the position that, primarily, we favored an instructed delegation for Mr. Hoover from Texas; but later this paper took the attitude that if intrapartisan harmony could be brought about by an uninstructed delegation, while this paper was favorable to the Hoover candidacy, it would agree to the latter procedure to attain this end. At that time The Informer was under the impression, and had been so informed by some of the leaders in the anti-Creager movement, that they were not against Mr. Hoover, as so; that they had no particular candidate as such, but were chiefly concerned with the reign of vespest-pocket and proxy Republicanism in Texas. "Secretary Howe, calling himself a Republican and a candidate for the highest office and honor that can be given to a person who represents the state and nation, selects and appoints R. B. Craeger and his wicked un-Republican machine to manage, direct and control the public label for his candidacy, and this forces every decent Republican man, woman and child who loves the Republican party to oppose him. The Republican party to oppose him. The anti-Creagerites held that this objective could be best attained by sending an uninstructed delegation from Texas to the national parley of the Republican party, but that no fight would be waged upon Mr. Hoover's candidacy. These anti-administration Republicans also contended that Southern states should not instruct for and play a too important part in nominating presidential candidates for the party, and that the party's dependent wholly and solely upon states not of Dixieland. Ready To Revolt "Before I would support such an unholy combination of greed, hate, tyranny, graft, and cruelty, I would have on the party of my dead father, and cast my vote for Al Smith, Jesse Jones, or any one of the next June on the Democratic ticket. With rumors afloat that the anti-Creager opposition in Texas has developed or is fastly assuming an anti-Hoover aspect, and that certain combinations and agreements have been entered into between some of the Texas Republicans—who are, supposedly, the most likely to be involved with backers of other aspirants for the presidency via the Republican nomination, the Informer finds itself at the point where it can not support nor lend even silent encouragement to any movement which is hostile and inimical to Mr. Hoover, merely to get even with certain Texas Republicans who have supported the Republican with Republican principles, tenets, customs and traditions. "Bebesides being a Republican, I am a free man. No free man who rejoices party, who cherishes its tradition, tenets, and believes in American fair play can follow as a Republican, the man who has been a Hoover flying squadron of Texas. No paper in Texas has disagreed with the Crealer-Note regime and its exclusiveipartisan policy more than The Informer. but this paper also notes that until there arose a split and schism in the Texas Republican ranks over patronage distribution in this state, none of the leaders in the present revolt movement, except Captain John A. ("Jack") Elgin of San Antonio, has been a leader in the Republican alliances of Fort Worth, ever raised their voices in protest or sought to overthrow the Crealer-Note combination. "If my memory is not faulty, President Abel Lincoln said that a form of government—of the people, by the people and for the people. But in judging from their acts and statements, a form of government—of the people, by the people and for the people. They claim that the people have no rights, and that the Greer machine can distractish us from the general districts of Texas by simply refusing and neglecting to call for the purpose of nominating presidential electors and electing delegates to the Republican National Convention. The Informer holds no brief for the Creager-Nolte regime, nor has this paper anything in its journalistic heart against Congressman Wurzbach, moving spirit in the anti-Creager movement. The Informer is also a vocal critic of attitude on Negro participation in Republican affairs is well known, and while he has a host of colored friends in Texas (The Informer editor being one of them), some of his white political associates are rabid Negro hater; one of them boasting in his book *The Negro business was free from "Mexicans, "bizkers," cockroaches and dogs*. About Those Calls "They say that the calls issued in the different congressional districts are not valid," said the mayor, May 10, for the purpose of nominating electors and electing delegates to the Republican National Convention. City next June, is illegal and void, and that there is no such thing as a convention authorized by law for May 10. Still another anti-Hooverite is reported, to have been a ring leader in a mob which lynched a colored youth in his city some months ago. The police were eventually every Negro in his city, county and district. If Negroes had to elect him to public office, this same man would go down to defeat in a race for the office of official dog-catcher! The colored Republicans of Texas should heat the call of the Catholic Republicans of Texas, who are the Republican prescient conventions on Saturday, May 5, 1928, where delegates will be elected to the county conventions, which are slated for Tuesday, May 8, 1928; at which convention delegates will be elected to the state convention, which will be held at Dallas, "I wonder if the Crayer machine could franchise the Republicans of the 18 different congressional districts by just referral, each district by state," it does. If it does, they have another thought into federal or congressional district units. The state has nothing to do with the public voters living in them may act for themselves when those legal and refuse to act for the party fail and refuse to act. If the delegates at the state convention favor sending an instruction delegated to Kansas City, they have that right under the law; and The Informer holds to the opinion that such action would not be invade in the light of recent developments and the fact that the delegates have been instructed to vote for Mr. Hoover as long as his name is before the national convention. Some contend that, in case of a split, it will be good politics for the delegates to be instructed, in order that its chances of being seated by the contests and credentials committee might be enhanced; but the only two Southern states thus far elect contesting delegates to the national parley, have instructed all their delegates for Mr. Hoover; and the issue of legality and party regularity, rather than the candidate, has been instructed in contesting delegations, whether from Louisiana, Mississippi or Texas. "There is no law on the statute of Texas requiring or preventing congressional convention in every congressional district, the purpose of nominating district delegates to the Republican National Convention. The rules of the Republican national committee beheld by the governor the Republican party in Texas." The Informer has previously held and holds now that neither the Republican national committee member for Texas, nor the state central committee has the right to hog-tie the Republicans of Texas to any presidential candidate; but as Republican electors and American citizens they have a right to state their individual preference and work to the end of electing a delegation faction of the Republican party to the state legislature, fairly and squarely, and is not manipulated and accomplished by unfair and unprompted methods. The Actual Rules "These rules and the call issued by the Republican national committee invite, require and direct Republican members to attend a convention at a certain time and place named by the Republicans in each congressional district of every state, and elect delegates to the Republican National Convention. This state is required to hold a Republican state convention and elect four (4) delegates, four (4) alternate delegates and nominating two (2) presidential electors from each state. While some are supporting Mr. Hoover because they say he will carry out the Coolidge policy and program. The Informer is supporting him because we believe he will be a real president and will execute the policy and program which Herbert C. Hoover has advocated. This independence of official action was shown recently when Mr. Hoover abolished racial segregation in the department of commerce of Washington, D. C., and in the administration of the rehabilitation program in the flood area of the Mississippi River. In both instances he did not follow the lead of some one else, but rather followed the lead of the keeping and harmony with American ideals and institutions. "I challenge the Creager paper machine to put in lugar the vote of the Republican national committee requiring Republican delegates to meet in Washington of electing congressional, district and state congresional districts have the right to adopt or fix a basis of representation of the state convention, and an entirely new set of delegates to the national convention, and no man can be elected to the Republican national committee." Most assuredly, if Mr. Hoover, in quest of the presidential nomination, can perform such official acts which require much moral courage, fortitude and resuluteness, the Negroes of Texas will be able to win this candidacy to the limit, despite Mr. Hoover's state boosters. If nominated and elected, Herbert C. Hoover will be president of all the people, and, as American citizens and Republican electors, let us help to make possible his nomination and election. We must urge the state convention at Dallas to send a delegation instructed for the secretary of commerce, then let us perform this act in the same manner which characterize the action of Mr. Hoover in performing such official acts as have been tremendous in the past. The Negro race, but to the American nation and society in general. Insult To Intelligence "The Craiger paper machine has no right to order the Republicans of Texas to send their delegates from 500 or 800 miles out of Texas to Texas to send their delegates to Dallas, in order that he might pick for them the men whom he would want to send to the national convention. It is silly to think that the Republican committee committee coodoned a scheme, which is abused of scheme. It is a shaker upon the intelligence of Texas lawmakers to say, "We want to send delegates and legions such burden and Herbert C. Hoover is not a politician, but an eminent statesman and expert economist, whose grasp on public matters, both domestic and foreign, has no equal or counterpart on this hemisphere. Whether in harmony or discord, peace or strife, The Informer is for Herbert C. Hoover for the presidential nomination by the Republican party, and for his election next autumn. He will be the first Republican to go to the Republican precinct conventions on Saturday, May 5, 1928, and function for the best interests of the party, both state and national. OPINIONS National Benefit Agent Establishes New Sales Record The Houston office of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., reports two group insurance policies written by Mr. J. Pelk, a native Houstonian, selling the contract. Mr. Pelk began his career with the company in 1924, when it first entered the insurance business now in charge of the group department of the Southern division, with the Houston office. The $1,000,000 taken out by two colored organizations, viz.: International Longhorn's Association, Calvetton, H. H. Huntner, Calvetton, H. H. Huntner, and Ladies Anxiliary to International Longhorn's Association, Pearl N. North, president, $200,000. By this feast Mr. Polk has reached the goal most insurance underwriters want to achieve, even among the large companies operated by other races, and he is being congratulated and styled as the "millionaire." It is somewhat difficult to realize the economic value of such large amounts of insurance, yet every dollar is a potential claim which can be paid colored people; and this wide distribution of such a huge sum will mean economic benefits for several millions of the black race. parties of this state and especially upon Creager's little party, which exists for federal patronage only. Somewhere between childhood and age, laughter is usually lost. Little children are often silenced so that it would be very strange to hear their self-laugh. A group of merry children revel in the joy of forgotten scenes, forgotten dreams. Shall we not strive to save and cherish the great gift of laughter, that it may lighten and ease our way nearer the journey's end.
