Hoover Wins Harris County Delegates THE HOUSTON INFORMER 5 PRICE CENTS A.M.E. HOSTS INVADE CHICAGO VOLUME IX THE MIRROR To admit that the presence of a Democratic governor in the city on the same night as the only Republican congressman from Texas in the lower house of congress, made it impossible for the congressman to recruit a토리(a respectable audience) in a reflection either upon the congressman's drawing power, or shows that his local engagement was in bad hands; and the latter conclusion seems to be the logical one to reach in this situation. If Mr. Wurzbach had waged his intra-partisan fight along the lines first pitched, principally against an unstructured delegation from the state, he was not interested in the party, and to restore the party to the people, he would have rallied many Texas Republicans to his standards; but when he began to attack Mr. Hoover and was accused of entering into a pact with another presidential aspirant, all this, coupled with the type of Negropholes constituting his partisan cabinet, alienated much of the support and content of the congressman, and forced him to leave the party in such a political controversy. However, it is hardly possible that this issue or controversy between the Croger-Nolte regime and the Wurzbach-Littleton-McDonald combination will end at the forthcoming Republican State Convention, and it is more than likely that the congressman will be able to settle the matter. In the Republican National Convention will be called upon to settle this matter and award the right to be called out of the Wurzbach-Nolte-McDonald-congress. It is currently reported that the Wurzbach faction plans to include several Negroes on its delegation, both from state-at-large and congressional districts; while it is also running a campaign to re-align in this respect, that the Cesaper-Nolte-McDonald-congress will be a strong one. In the recent努 This will be an interesting fight, for certain national Republican leaders who are well-known for their reliable and authentic information, that they will look with disdain upon us and on them, on which there are no colored delegates; and Mr. Heaver's favorable attitude towards the Negaes will allow them to distance at length in this column. In the mountains, "we shall see what we shall see!" The board of education has designated a school district, for the purpose of selection within the Independent School District, at which time students may prove or be required important qualifications. The district proposition has to do with authorizing the school board of Houston "to annually levy, assess and collect the $28,000 the district has to pay within district, to be used for the expenses of operating and sustaining public schools in said district, and to pay the tuition and fees for the district fund for bonded indebtedness of $28,000 and an indebtedness of $28,000 among the district was created,县.

ITALIANS MARRY IN NEGRO CHURCH New Orkham, Ln.—(ANP)—One of the most unusual ceremonies in this country is the Eternal Christian Spiritualist Church last Thursday evening when the Rev. James B. Bunting, an Andhra Bengalian, a New Yorker, were married by Mrs. A. Price and Anshang Bengalian, a New Yorker, were sainted a spirit wedding. A number of special guests, including HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 conference in Philadelphia, and her being awarded a key as one of the original members of Thea chapter of the Pi Kappa Lamlda, at Oberlin, an honor society in music, comparable with the Phil Beta Kappa in the colleges—through all these honours and triumphs. Miss Covington felt that she made her home an feelin than to return to her home town, to the people who love her, white and colored, and who have watched with pride her successive steps higher on the ladder of achievement. Her mother, who is at present with her daughter at 150 W. 131st Street in New York, says: "Why, yes, Jessie's going back home. Why she's going back home. I have a home. We have a home. Everybody in Houston likes her. Why can't she make good there? And besides, she has been away from home eight years, and her father and I want her at home with us for a while." Miss Covington, herself, thinks she can do well in Houston. The colored people of the South, she feels, and she is really the person she wants mentally and financially, where they not only have artistic tastes to be cultivated, but can pay for such cultivation. She is already scheduled as a teacher for the summer school for teachers, advanced students and beginners in music which will be held under the auspices of the Texas Association of Negro Musicians at the C.P.C. June 15 for only 23. She has her own house with a study herself, at her $2,000 Mason and Hamlin parlor grand piano, the gift of her fond and admiring parents, Dr. and Mrs. B. J. Covington, last year, and start building up her music classes right where she attended public and high school. She will make short concert tours to relieve their stress, and be teaching, and when she has saved her home enough, she hopes to go abroad to study further. Miss Covington doesn't worry over the face problem in Texas. She's a face along. The Marlin, Texas, Daily Democrat, a white Democratic-pacific state, say of her appearance there last year: "Jessie Covington again degrades her appearance playing Friday night at the Methodist Church. Her program is curated and interested in her and earnest earnest study. She has the art of making her hawks grasp the compass and navigate every sense of the word.

Holding the most harmonious convention in the last eight years, the Republicans of Houston and Harris County held their county convention in the city hall council chamber Tuesday morning, with George E. Kepple serving as both temporary and permanent chairman, and Dallas J. Burtschell in the secretarial role. The attendance of colored delegates, coming from the various pre-cincts of the county, was the largest in the last 12 years, with no contests. This was quite a marked contrast to 1920 and 1924, when the Republican factions in this county held two separate conventions; and the harmony program was the result of pre-conventions efforts on the part of County Chairman R. B. Morris and T. P. Lee of the regular organization and H. L. Mims, N. Dudley, Jr., C. N. Love, H. P., Carter, C. H. McGruder, D. Crawford, Jr., and C. F. Richardson of the colored group.

He made another voyage to America with the Columbus in 1498, and six more with the Spaniards in planning the first successful commercial voyage to the New Atlantic Ocean. He another Negro explorer was Nufo de Olano. He accompanied Balcon on his first voyage to the Caribbean Ocean.

NELSON MFO, CO, Rielheim NELSON HAIR DRESS La Serga De Español, the Spanish monarch, published in 1510, contains a passage which reads: "Know so that on the right side of the wall, called Called Pardise very near the Terrestrial Paradise which is peopled with black women without any men among them because the new accounted for the war of the Arabs. They were of strong and hardy bodies, and of ardent courage and of Historians no longer believe that Haitians was the first to discover America, but even more recently, they visited the shores of North America, including what is now the New England coast, as early as the 16th century. Leif Ericson touched these shores. Thurgood Marshall in 1902, Thornton Finnberg in 1011, all visited North America. But these were not the only means. Prof. Leo Wiener asserts that Negroes from the Guinea and the Congo landed in Columbus in 1602, and were engaged in regular and extensive trading more than 500 years. Columbus is proved to be the origin of Negroes with their trading masters in America before Columbus is proved to be the origin of Negroes with their trading masters in America, sculpture and design, by the occurrence of a black nation at Columbus, not specifically in the country, but not specifically by Columbus, emphatic reference to the origin from Guinea who had fished in the same composition and bearing the same name, as that frequent in Africa. "Besides these proofs of the Negro's early visits to America, the Early Indian carvings, found among the riches of the mound builders and Fujian, repeatedly show the Negro contenence, clearly and unmistakably. There is also a striking warship of the Indians and that of the indigenous of Africa. "Many of the warships of the Indians and that of the indigenous of Africa, which have hitherto been considered as indigenous and brought into fashion, cotton, sweet potato and peanuts." Ovira, a Spanish name "game with that evil lot of the Negroes, the cultivation of the potato, the potato dish, the potato potato, is thought to have come to America from Guinea by way of the Congo, the main parts of the country. Many of the words referring to them are of any means. Prof. Leo Wiener asserts that Negroes from the Guinea or African origin, according to DuBois. For just how long before the first visit of Columbus Negroes had been coming to America, it is not definitely known. It may well have been a thousand years; certainly it was not less than 500 years. But these were all in the midst of the years, and only just recently have a few of them been discovered in the ruins of Mexico, Yucatan, and parts of the United States. Slowly but surely these ruins are yielding up secrets, and there is hope that further light may be found in Africa when that dark continent shall become fully discovered to the western civilization. However, it may be that a complete record will never be found. The Spanish conquerors of Mexico destroyed thousands of volumes of early history of that country which the highly civilized Toltoes had made and carefully preserved. In their ignorance and blotted religious zeal they repeated in Mexico the crime of the vandals in Europe and Africa, and wilfully committed to the flames these precious documents. Others they used to wrap bundles in and for scrap paper. These same practices prevailed in Chile and Peru.

SON'S DRESSING Negro Explorers THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 territory now belonging to the United States. In the year 1951, Governor Eugene O'Rourke passed the passage of Jews, Moors, or recent converts, but was permitted to remain in the United States inborn in the power of Christianity. This provision was evidently made because it was thought that their Christian tractable and willing to submit to the domination of their masters. But the creation which centuries of slavery later made of him, and which he is very soon will find Oruro requesting that Negroes be not sent over as they ran away to the Indians and "taught their children to work" and withhold her permission for the imposition of slaves, but soon after her arrival in the United States old plan and 1606 sent Ovando seventy-five Negroes for work in the American market and their coming to America marked the beginning of the slave trade in which millions of the slave population was transported to those shores by the Christian nations of the world during the centuries between 1600 and the early 1900s a few years before the American Civil War. It must be supposed for one moment that these slave explorers played merely a minor part in the great undertakings of which they contributed to submit their lot as slaves, particularly when injustices and hard work had manhood. And since their frequent uprisings had a bearing on both the explorations in and the history of slavery, it is well to take notice of some of them, before proceeding with their own research.

When the white settlers in New Orleans, which was the only settlement in the territory, had decided to buy the land, they made the sugar industry pay, it was a Negro from the island of Santa Domingo who taught them how to make sugar. They were a ready market beside the sugar from the Bahama Islands and Cuba, thus the sugar industry grew. The part played by Negro slaves and their descendants in the explorers and World readers like a drama, and well may be ranked among the most important life and civilization. Many of the Negroes who were brought to America in the early years were men of color, and were often trained either as Mohammednus Catholics. Some of them skilled in medicine and still others were acquainted with the healing art, all of them from Cuba or Mexico, and hard at work with the splendid account of themselves amid the pain of the wilderness of the World. Cortes carried Negro slaves with him from Cuba to Mexico, and they built mountains. One of these, Saco by name, was the first to sow and rear the crops in the company sent by Vulayana in 1820 to punish Cortes for imprisonment. One of them carried small animals.

Two years later a Spaniard and his slave landed at Tumbes, and the natives were so astonished at the color of the Negro's face that they repeatedly washed it to see if the black would come off; but the only thing white which showed about him was his teeth. Negroes were with Almagro and Orgonez in Chile, and they were with the pioneers in Venezuela. In fact, Negroes were brought to the New World in such large numbers that they early formed the largest part of the population of Santo Domingo, and by 1528 there were about 10,000 of them on the continent and in the islands. They accompanied the Spaniards everywhere and on almost every expedition, sharing their hardships without complaint and performing deeds of heroism equal to those of the bravest among the explorers. Ponce de Leon learned of the fabled fountain of perpetual youth which he so ardently sought without success from Negroes and Arawak Indians. A Negro took priesthood or ders in Mexico in 1540, and in 1542 the Lincoln theater lately?

But the most picturesque, and by far the most renowned, of the Negro at the Port of the Gatorado, is the American Arab Negro from Armor on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Sailing on Spain with the expedition of Panfolo de Navraez, he landed in Tampa Bay, in Florida, in 1828 and that year, in 1830, and in 1834, in the unfortunate expedition. For six years he and his three companions lived in the port of the Mariana Islands, and were both themselves by practicing medicine, and were the first to go from Florida to New York. The first was visited Chilhona and Sonora and reached Collaican, the capital of the island, and the port of the Mariana Islands, and the governor, took them to Mendoza, the viceroy, in the city of Lano de la Hena, and the city of Lano de Mendoza, and was sent by the viceroy with an expedition under the order of Fraynce of the N.C.A. and the firm of the famous cities of Cibola. Because of his knowledge of the island, he was made a model of the sign language, Eatevanco was made guide. The party set out March 1923 to the port of the Gatorado, and the port of the Gatorado was established with wooden crosses, and in four days with wooden on Pape Three WAVIN'S SKIN- WHITENER OINTMENT GENERAL MANUFACTURING, INC.

PACE During the last presidential campaign it was brought out, by Vice President-elect Dawid Wawer was one of the largest stockholders in the Pure Oil Company, which is located in Ohio, and well in various sections and filling stations throughout the East. It also developed that Secretary of the Treasury Mellon's family owned the Aluminum Company of America, which company controls the aluminum industry of this country, supplying new materials to the manufacturers of small appliances. Previously it had also been made public that the Mellon family were the principal stockholders in the Gulf Refining Company, and the old Overbush Samuel Untermeyer, the famous New York lawyer, is the largest stockholder in the Bethlehem Steel Company. This fact came out during the time when the Bethlehem Steel Company was found that the Bethlehem Company had been a big beneficiary under the plan then in vogue, and of course Untermeyer had profited himself indirectly. The Bethlehem Company had been a chain store system operating through out the East. Alfred W. McCam, who for years had conducted a column in the New York Times, purchased in chain grocery stores, found himself out of a job when the "Globe" was purchased by Munsey. There may have been some connection between this and Munsey's ownership of the Mohican Grocery Stores, but nobody really knew of the first industrial stocks to feel the effects of the post-election bull market and rise to record heights was the American Can Company, which is owned by the American Can Company, it develops, is owned largely by the family of George F. Baker, president of the First National Bank of New York. Mr. Baker's gifts go to the Metropolitan Museum of New York. When the prohibition law became effective, it revealed some strange and amusing things. One of these was the Park and Tilford whom the public had long known. Park and Tilford owned the American bottling and distributing rights of Gordon's Dry Gin. Recently it came to light that Park and Tilford were the controlling stockholder of the American bottling company, Minneapolis. It turned out later that the A. Schultze Tobacco Stores own Park and Tilford. Now it comes to light that the Schultze Company itself has gained control over the business. The Schultze Company owns United Cigar Stores Company, making Schultze almost the dominating factor in the tabacco field. The competition of the Schultze and the United Stores is more seeming than real. In this the situation is similar to three chain chain store stores operating large, independent stores. The unique appearance are owned and operated by the same store factory. The chain of rival shoe stores as well as the Adler Shoe Stores. All of the shoes sold in these stores are made in the same factory. The only difference is that the shoes are made for the retail trade from three classes of buyers. All of which are right. When one after another business ought to have a competitor than we have business by having a competitor than we have that we have competitors ontwarrow with a working agreement underneath to fight. We feel that nobody else could to enter our own line of business or our field of endeavor. It has not been so long since that the new doctor and the old one in a competition with the same lawyer in the community incurred the eternal curse of the older ones. Let another group dare organize a bank or an insurance company, where the business is to be done. The jealousies created. A director in one concern could have no communication with a director in the other, either social, fraternal, or religious. Yet while the business was done, the same lawyer recently forged it, some of the men may as enjoy, and acquired a common ownership. Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad are competitors for the passenger traffic entering New York, but the Pennsylvania permitted, until recently, the B. and G. to use its passenger station to get in to the heart of the city. The result was that they got all the business and In the moving picture and theatrical field, there is another striking example of closely Unit affiliation by three competing companies, which are significantly the largest in their field. A few years ago Marcus Loew, who founded and was chief owner of the chain of Theatre bearing his name, bought a controlling interest in Meir Motion Picture Company. One of the vice-presidents of Loew's Inc. is Nick Olas P. Schenck, who manages the business of Metro. Schenck is the brother of Joseph M. Schenck, who is the husband of Norma Talmadge, and the executive head of United Artists, which controls all pictures made by Mary Pfeiford, Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin, while Marcus Loew's daughter is married to Adolph Zakor, whose father is head of the Famous Players-Lucky Company, the biggest producer of pictures in America. If to Negro banks in a community could openly compete without their presidents falling out, they might get more deposits than they actually do. It often happens that a man who seeks to patronize either one bears so much in about the other one that he puts his money in the white bank. The secret of how the white man covers a field is worth thinking upon and when we learn that we can compete and still be friends we will be better off.

GA. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 The Negro-- (Continued from Page Two) sent back a crow "a hirf as a man, and the news that he had discovered "the greatest thing in the world." Fray Marcen was never able to over- take him. Eisenauer had now reached him and gloveing reports reached him about their possessions. He coveted for himself the honor of discovering the reputation of being bold and courage- ous. It is said he traveled in great travels, and he was accompanied by some beautiful women when the Indians had given him. He also possessed the symbol of authority, sending it ahead of himself by messengers. But the men he sent were not so well when he told them of white men con- tending to them about the sky. They fell upon him and his party, and the near east line between that state and Arizona. He was the first explorer to visit Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. There is a beautiful legacy still told of his death by the Zion Indians, who roofs lay over the walls of Kya-ki-me, when smoke hung over the roofs of the buildings still unbroken in Kya-ki-me, then black Mexicans came from their hometown, unexpectedly, of the Huemcko Canyon they came, and descended on the coast, as they would enter the covered way it seemed that our ancestors looked great at them, for with these new lands of So-nol-ii, as they call it now. Therefore, these our ancestors, being always bad-tempered, and quick to attack their fashion, pushing into their town, and out of their town, shaping, killing and stoneing set up a great bowl, and that they and our ancestors did much ill to the land, by the ancestors by the ancestors right where the stone stands down by the array of Kya-ki-me, one of the grandfathers, and went back to their country in the Land of Everlasting. After the death of Everlastence, there were no further explorations of Florida, and New Mexico for forty years, and New Mexico for forty years. In the later pioneering period, Negroes continued to play their part. A black man accompanied Lewis and Clark in 1804; and Jacob Dodson, a free Negro of Washington, volunteered at the Washington State�th to visit in 1843. This country discovered by 400 Spaniards and 300 Negroes, had many Negro settlers among its pioneers. The most outstanding of them was William Alexander Leidsdrock, who owned the first steamship sailing in San Francisco Bay, where he was in the same place as the city council, and the treasurer and a member of the school board. The last of the Negro explorers is Matthew A. Henson, the only living human being who has stood "at the top of the world" at the North Pole. He accompanied the late Admiral Peary on that, a memoir of the Indian. Peary said in him: "Matthew, Henson, my Negro assistant, has been with me in one capacity or another since my second trip to Nicaragua in 1887. I have taken him on each and all of my expeditions, except the first and also, without exception, on my thartest olds trips. I have written a letter to him with him primarily because of his adaptability and fitness for the work, and secondly because of his loyalty. He is a better dog driver than any man living, except some of the best of the Esquimaux hunters themselves." What a splendid tribute to the people of the American. And the best thing about it is that it is as true of the other Negro discovers and explorers as of Henson. It has often been said that the Negro is devolved the spirit; but this remains true. It has also contained an array of irrefutable facts as contained in the records of the discourses and explorations of the Negro. The fact is, the Negro possesses the mind and is richly endowed with those qualities of character, body and mind which enable him to undergo hard work and hardship. He is the dying mind, who pioneers are called upon to pass on the dying mind. Andohe the dreaded diseases in the swamps of the american south, he dwells at the North Pole, the tribute paid to Henson may apply to his heroism. They were adaptable and fit in the highest degree and they were fortified the Negro throughout his dealings with America. It was his brawn and forest and made desert places bloom as a rose. His brain has produced a voluminous industry of America, and his blood, spilled from a loyal forest and maintained his country. But the Negro has been despolled of this splendid reputation. The exigencies tempted those who saw an opportunity for economic gain thereby to slander him and lie about him. Beginning with the propaganda of that notorious slave trader, Sir John Hawkins, and continuing through all the more than four hundred years of slavery, this lying and these misrepresentations have continued until the poor Negro has been completely stripped of the reputation and honor which he so richly deserves. But, thank God! the light of truth has begun to shine upon him and the world is beginning to awake to its error. Men of the Negro race like Woodson, DuBois, and Brawley, are digging up the records of the past and are bringing to light the truth about the deeds of these pioneers of the race. And there is a still more hopeful sign. It is to be found in the writings of such men as Leo Wiener, France Boaz, and other scientists, who only seek the truth. Some day the American people will have become sufficiently cultivated and honest to stand a fair and impartial living of the truth in the Newbold Asserts LEADERS HONOR Extension Agents STUDENTS HEAR No Dual Standard NEVAL H. THOMAS Continue Help In GEORGE CARVER In North Carolina AT WASHINGTON Delta Flood Area NOTED CHEMIST --- Hampton Institute, Va.-Declarating that there cannot be two standards for teachers in North Carolina, N. C. Negro education in North Carolina, at the anniversary of Hampton Institute's graduation in North Carolina, at the graduation education in that state, terming it nothing short of marvelous. "We do not have a standard for teachers," and we cannot have, two standards for teachers. Such a scheme, one standard for whites and blacks, would be tasteful to our Negro people as it would be difficult of administration." The students are getting on to college was shown by comparing the progress over the past five years in enrollment is around 15,000, with 200 now in graduating classes. College enrollment five years ago was still 500, with 200 now in school graduates enrolled in college freshman classes in North Carolina to make a total of 827. Next fall, if the same percentages hold, over 1000 will enter college. Hampton, Mr. Newbold declared, has made a definite contribution to the educational progress of North Carolina. "According to the best figures obtainable," he said, "120 Hampton-trained teachers are working in North Carolina, including supervisors and principals. We have come to look for three things in Hampton-trained teachers: thoroughness and care in what they undertake; a cooperative spirit, adaptability; and soundness of character—dependability. So far as our information goes they are living up to this standard. They are doing a thoroughly good job. They are working in harmony with white people and black people and they are exerting a good moral influence." Mr. Newbold made the statement that one-third the Negro enrollment about 85,000 students, was provided with Rosenwald schools, and that good city schools provide for another third Pifty-six standard high schools have been developed and 75 others are progressing toward standardization. Ter standard higher institutions have been developed, 5 of them standard four-year colleges. Two other four-year colleges will probably become standard in 1929. be a happy day for the Negro, and for America, when that day arrives. Then the deeds of the Negro in America will be written in letters of gold; and the truth about him, crushed to earth for these hundreds of years, will rise and vindicate him. May God hasten the day.

Association Gets More Endorsement From Local Firms Association Gets More Endorsement From Local Firms The Don Hall Construction Company and Hughes Tool Company, both of whom employ a large amount of labor in this city, give their endorsement to the activities of the Colored Business and Laboring Men's Association, according to C. W. Rice, president and manager of the association. These firms are among the leading industries of Houston and the latter company employs approximately 500 colored men regularly. The association, through its employment bureau at 8071 Prairie Ave., is putting forth a special effort to encourage the manager of industrial plants and other employers to give the colored citizens a chance to do the jobs with a living wage, that they have been accustomed to doing. A recent survey made by the association shows that Mexican labor is fast replacing the colored on the farms, in the factories, on construction and building work and even in domestic service. The association urges all persons seeking employment as cooks, maids, nurses, porters, chauffeurs, common and skilled laborers, also professional employment, to enroll with the busreau.

C., Allen L. L., Holley, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and Greenboro Business League, pointed out many significant facts to the students at Bennett College for Women in his chapel talk Friday morning. Pointing out the fact that the two largest enterprises in America are the Poro Company of St. Louis; and the Madane Walker Company of Indianapolis, and that likewise 85 percent of the business in the country controlled by the women of the household, M. Holley challenged his hearers to give attention to the economic life of the race. The big problem, he said, "is that business, building an economic foundation." Said Mr. Halsey: "Negro boys and girls are being educated so fast that it becomes a problem to find lucrative positions for them—do—fill. It was to meet this situation that the Negro Business League was founded in 1900 by J. J. Halsey. And it is because of the continuance of this problem that Dr. M. M. M. was present head of Tuskeeg Institute, devoted so large a part of his life to the consideration of the economic status of Negroes in America. Perhaps the most urgent need is the demand for organizing and establishing more business enterprises on a sound basis, and then the creating of the spirit among all Negroes to support these business enterprises." He pointed out the fact that the Negro insurance companies alone furnish occupation to 9,100 men and women. That Negroes in America spend for food, clothing and shoes $4,150,000,000 a year. This vast field of the necessities of life alone furnishes opportunity for the creation and maintenance of a large number of positions on a fundamental basis. J. M. Avery, secretary-manager of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N. C., one of the largest insurance companies owned and operated by Negroes in America, accompanied Mr. Halsey on his visit.

IC The Holy Spirit of Jesus. IC Jesus Asserts Messianic Authority. I Jesus Officially Presented to the Jewish.Nation as King.-v. 141) This should not be designated the triumphal procession in outward appearances. The shouts were empty and meaningless. It was the promised King publicly offering 1. The preparation (v. 14, 6). 1) Two disciples set for the窦 (v. 14) He told them just where to go to find it, and how to answer the owner's inquiry. The providing of this animal was planned according to Christ's foreknowledge plan according to Christ's foreknowledge. 1) Obedience of the disciples (v. 46). Without asking why, they go at his holding. The command may have seemed unreasonable, but he did so. 2) The entry into Jerusalem (v. 7, 30). The disciples put their garments upon the aisle and the Lord set it upon (v. 1, 7). This act showed their recognition of Hlms as their King. (2) The multitude (v. 8, 9). Some spread heir garments in the way; others who had no garments to spare cut down braches and strewed them in the way, which was just as acceptable unto Him. This entry was in fulfilment of a prophecy uttered some five hundred years before (Zech. 9:3). They uttered the very cry which the prophet foretold. This is a clew to enable one to understand the prophecies which are unfulfilled as yet. If the prediction of His first coming was thus literally fulfilled, we must believe that those of His second coming will likewise be literally fulfilled. The prediction of Zechariah 14:3-11 will be just as literally fulfilled as that of Zechariah 9:9. (5) The Lord's action (v. 10). Upon entering the temple, he looked around upon all things; but as it was eventide He withdrew to Bethany with the twelve. 11. Jesus Exercising His Royal Authority (v. 12-19). 1. The barren fig tree cursed (v. 12-14). The fig tree is typical of the Jewish nation. The fruit normally appears on the fig tree ahead of the leaves. The presence of the leaves is the assurance of fruit. This was an acted parable of the Lord's judgment on Israel for pretension of being the chosen people without the fruits thereof. 2. The temple cleaned (vv. 15-19). For the various sacrifices; in the case of the animals were needed. Many persons came from the distant parts of the land; therefore it was impracticable for them to bring the animals, then, so they brought money and bought the animals needed. This privilege the law had granted to them was necessary. When evil noun used it as an opportunity for gain it became an offense before God. It defiled the law and pointed to the source of source of money and drove out the money changes, overthrowing their tables and pouring out their money, and putting out their money. It be the king of the temple and one with God. That which God intended to be a "house of prayer for all mankind" was the source of this action symbolized the call of the men to repentance. III. Jesus' Chargey Authority (vv. 15) They challenged Him to show by what authority He accepted the honors of the Messiah, and who gave him the money he received for money changers. This seemed to place Jesus in a dilemma. He responded by a question which placed him in a difficult situation. John was his forerunner, the divinity of His commission rested upon that of John. They were powerless to discern John, because his speeches were so vague, and they had accepted John's message they could have been prepared to accept His. They weakly confessed they could not answer the question. Route to Glory "He must increase, but I must decrease."

Ala. —(ANP)—Ad dressing an audience of 1200 colored and white in the Old Ship Church here Sunday afternoon, Dr. Robert R. Stewart, a professor of history at the South, stated that the "Negroes of the South used have any fear of being displaced by imported foreigners if they make themselves so efficient in their work that they engage that their services will become indispensable. It is up to us to make them take from us." Colored people are further advanced than any other group of darker people who have not been accepted. This advance will continue, Dr. Moton said, as the misunderstandings of Dr. Moton's address was preceded by a musical program featuring the Chicago Institute Quartet and local talent.

MRS. WINSLOW'S SYRUP (BY JAMES H. HOWARD) We have looked into the much discussed Departments of the Interior of which Mr. Hubert Work of Colorado is secretary. Since so much of the publicity that has recently appeared in the race press concurring with the public's interest in the Pension Bureau, the public is likely to have obtained an impression that this particular bureau is about all there is to the department, a group there is nothing more important than government agency, it is but a small portion of the great big national influential department, the bureau in the department, three of which vie with the Pensions bureau for distinction as the most important or the largest of the three departments. Eleven of these bureaus may be found colorful employees, some occupying positions. These employees are in addition to those serving in the office of the department. The former has no less than 38 of our race group in his personal entitlement while two poly's 3428 people, of whom 448 or 12.7% are Negroes. Numerically, we have our proportionate share of the places the government has to give out in this department; and lysince many of these places are extremely high salaried, as government salaries range it is difficult in this brief article to figure out financial proportions. How this compares with the oft mentioned "Good old days" of tradition is left to those with longer-memorized than the written, or with more definite information that has come to light during the research into the department being reported. The four bureaus without colored employees are the federal oil conservation board—and this may be a blessing in disguise; the Southern Applachain Park Commission, a reasonable omission; the Alaska Railroad and the Board of Indian Commissioners. St. Elizabeths Hospital employs 120 Negroes and 1131 of white people to man the big Washingto institution for those in physical and mental illness. Freedmen Hospital, connected with Howard University is, as it should be, predominantly colored in its personnel. But 8 white persons are employed in any capacity while 169 Negroes, some high in the medical world, are on the payrolls of the school that is the source of our most trained medico. The general land office reports 24 colored people working with 305 white people, and through 7 divisions of the office, there being but four divisions without a standing outward character among those in Lafayette M. Hershaw, who examines records in case before the land of the district. The district's siders all briefs and prepares decisions in conformity with precedent. The district's corporation, irrigation, water and public land laws; and the incumbent who has been appointed B-20, has held the position since 1890. Black Man Law Examiner Wm. Cohran has been employed in the department since 1904. He is now the principal investigator in the examination of records in cases before the general land office involving important questions of law, considering the nature of the law and preparing a decision requiring statement of case, digesting and finding the facts of the law. This work requires legal training. Cohran holds the degrees of A. B. and L.L. B. The bureau of education with 98 white people has 2 New York colleges, a complete story to as the work of that bureau which is so closely identified with the land office and still more of which are number of which are Negro as to faculty and still more of which are servant a subject that will merit special treatment in another article. In 3 of the divisions of the bureau of Indian affairs fwrhe 178 white people find employment. In the Reckham Building in New York, a white native Americans. The geological survey utilized 457 white persons. These work in half of the divisions of that office, some among the white parties when occasion requires.

Notable Meeting is Staged by Waycross Business League—Permanent Interracial Group is Planned Waycross, Ga. —The most notable interracial meeting in the history of this city was held yesterday evening in Mt. Zion Church, attended by many of the most prominent and influential citizens of both races. Arranged by the Waycross Negro Business League the meeting had the cooperation also of the city administration and all the white civic clubs, and brought together a distinguished and representative per cent of the community and the clubs of mutual goodwill. Dr. W. H. Wright, president of the Negro Business League, presided, and the purpose of the meeting. The program was then turned over to H. Harry D. Reed, former judge of the Negro Business League, who last year by the conviction and sentencing of a dozen members of the Reed spoke briefly and introduced successively the mayor, the superintendent of the chamber of commerce, the present judge of the Superior Court, the president of the express or apprehension wanis club, the cloister of the daily paper, the city manager and others, and pledged the organizations which they represent the express or apprehension for the maintenance of the pleasant relations now existing and for the maintenance of conditions as rapidly as possible. A brief address was delivered by Elazar H. Alexander, educational director of the interracial educational organization that told something of the history and methods of the commission. Resolutions were made recommending the immediate organization of a local interracial committee and of civic leadership of the community.

It is incomprehensible that the party of Lincoln should have so far deserted the surrender so completely to Southern pride as to sanction jim-crowmian public Convention so completely to public public Convention at Kansas City in June. That is just what has The white people of Kansas City, degraded into hating their black brethren, deprived of their color be not housed with white delegates from their states. Kansas City is it. It denies Negroes any approach to decent treatment and is unwilling that black men from anywhere, whatsoever, enter their homes within its doors. That is bad. It is worse. It is worse that the Republican national convention, the Butler Chair have put their stamp of approval upon this damnable intolerance, to contend for a square deal minimo to contend for a square deal consistently if not simply) cast its own ticket. For the first time in the history of Republican conventions the delegates to permit black delegates to be humiliated, set apart as lepers, to be permitted to party in conventions, merely present, in Kansas City. From whatever causes the Negroes hotels the Negro delegates will be excluded, for Kansas City permits Negroes to enter its hotels only as servants. How can Negroes intelligently participate, how can they play a role away from the scene of activity, quartered in the platform, can they be expected to maintain What faith can they have in the plains of Americanism and tolerance and can they be incorporated in the platform? And, finally, how can 15,000,000 Negroes—15,000,000,000 cold through their delegates to "stay in the plains" from top to bottom" as they will be enjoined by spellbinders next fall?

With the Republican precinct and county conventions out of the way and delegates having been elected to the Republican State Convention which meets in Dallas, Texas, May 22; and with the results of these conventions showing the majority of Texans, who participated in these said conventions, favorable to the presidential nomination of Honorable Herbert C. Howell, the Republican National Convention at Kansas City on June 12, 1928, it appears to The Informer that the Republican factions or rather in Texas should get together now on a harmony program and not go to the national parley with a contest. It was to obviate the necessity of another quadratic contest and internal wrangle that the "harmony resolution" was adopted at the statewide conference held under the auspices of the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, at Dallas, Texas, March 24, 1928, when the convention went so far as to indicate its preference for delegates-at-large from Texas to the national convention of the G. O. P. While it is true that this action on the part of this statewide conference of colored citizens was not binding or obligatory upon the delegates, it was a mighty fine feature for those between and representation for all warring factions on a fair and equitable basis. If the Republicans of Texas are to make a commendable showing in November for the national ticket and their gubernatorial candidate in this state, it will be well to work out a harmony program before, not after, the national convention; for it has been The Informer's observation that wounds made in June, when the contesting delegates are denied seats in the national convention, would result in only the "ins" supporting and voting for the presidential elections and state legislature, while the "outs" remain away from the polls or vote the Democratic ticket. Since Texas will be represented by 26 delegates and 26 alternates at the Kansas City convention (52 representatives in all), it does appear to this paper—which wants to see harmony and the resultant large vote polled in the November election for both the national and state Republican tickets—that some program can be projected and consummated between now and the Dallas convention. This would allow for differences and make for party solidarity and unity rather than for internal bickering, strife and bitterness. Whether for an instructed or uninstructed delegation, from this angle it is apparent that the Hoover supporters and backers will be in control of the state convention on May 22; and if the state party instructs its delegates to vote for Hoover and invokes the rule, even though some concessions are made by the party chiefs to some of the so-called "insurgents" very little, if any, damage to the state convention. If, rather than such a stroke would be calculated to harmonize those belligerent factions and give the state a united Republican party in the general election. In this connection, the Informer again suggests eight delegates at large from this state with one-half vote each, instead of the customary four delegates with one vote each, and four alternates. The Republicans of Oklahoma recently pursued such a course that they thereby adjusted amicably internal differences and contentions. It will be rather difficult to persuade voters to support the national and state ticket of the Republican party in November, when these same voters are not accorded what they think is a fair and square deal in June! The welfare, success and perpetuity of the Republican party in Texas should be paramount to the political ambitions and personal interests of voters. The biased, biennial and quadrilateral bickering, fights and schisms occur within the ranks of the party in this state, no appreciable headway will be made towards building up and maintaining a virile, robust and functioning Republican party in Texas. Without the sacrifice of any partisan principles or the desertion of the Hoover cause and standards, a program of harmony can at least be presented to the warring groups; and if these opposites do not accept the olive branch, then will be responsible for whatever befall them from a partisan and political standpoint. After all efforts towards effecting and maintaining peace have proved futile, then war is inevitable; but until the Republican leaders of Texas show, by their actions, that they prefer accord to and concord; strife and bickering to harmony; war to accord; tyranny to united believers; that they will employ rare judgment and uncommon wisdom by getting together and burying their differences at home, and not washing and airing their dirty linen before the contests and credentials committees of the Republican National Convention. The Informer is not backing up on its pro-Hoover attitude, for Mr. Hoover is still our candidate, and this paper believes, as it has done throughout this campaign, that air Hoover is the most available candidate the Republicans can nominate for their national party. Hoover instructed delegation from Texas to the national party, but electing delegates in May for a national parliament convention, one thing and getting out votes for the same ticket in November is another proposition. Real political organization can be maintained without appropriate voting strength, and at all. The Informer's honest conspiracy that the Republican leaders in this state waste too much effort even for the national convention instead of putting forth of berecum proportions to build up a strong and Texas—a party which will command the respect The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper of the other major party in this state and become a power in the politics of the Lone Star State commonwealth. But the Republicans will never be able to build up a powerful party organization in Texas as long as they center their major efforts on intra-partisan fights for election and selection as delegates and alternates to the Republican National Convention every quadrennium. The wise general maps out his plans not only for the present engagement, but for martial struggles which will take place subsequently, and he wisely or unwisely reckons with his opposition as constituted now and as it will be constituted in future com� talk. The Informer, in again contending for a harmony program among Texas Republicans, is merely in line with national party leaders and this paper's original platform as contained in our first editorial endorsing the presidential candidacy of the secretary of commerce, viz: HOOVER—HARMONY—HAPPINESS! IS "SOLID SOUTH" STILL "SOLID?" In withdrawing from the race for presidential nomination by the Democratic party, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Montana, has given quite an impetus to the formidable candidacy of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York; the senator vining out a statement that it is apparent to the county. That the Democrats of the nation prefer Al Smith as their nominee. In writing to the senator, issued by the Gotham governor and outdistanced the entire Democrat's field in California, the home of William Gibbs McAdoo, whose remaining in the race for presidential nomination by the Democrat in 1924 against Governor Smith, prevented the New York chief executive from landing the coveted goal, and who was backing Senator Walsh in the California presidential preferential primaries. It seems that Senator Walsh's name was entered in California by the McAdoo forces, but the Smith forces rolled up such a tremendous vote for the popular Empire State governor that Walsh and McAdoo got together and issued the celebrated post-mortem petition to the governor, which affirmed that Smith is the choice of the majority of Democrats for the presidential nomination. With state after state instructing its delegates for Al Smith and with an assurance that Smith will enter the Houston convention far in the lead of any other aspirant or "favorite son," will the "solid South" remain "solid" and to try to defeat the nomination of the strongest man the donkey party can select as its standard-bearer? Moreover, if Governor Smith is nominated by the Democrats in June, will the "saint-Similius of Dixie desert the party and support the Republican candidate," and then the religious rancor, bigotry and intolerance and back Nominee A Smith in the November presidential sweeps? It is a serious indictment against a section of the country, which has been loyal to a party since its inception, to have an unwritten law that no man residing in said section has been or ever will be nominated by the party for the highest office within the American electorate. If the South is not traditionally "set" in its ways, politically and otherwise—it would have a real voice in the nomination of the presidential candidates of the Democratic party; but since the national Democratic leaders know that the "solid South" is always "solid" (whatever that term designates and denotes), they simply manipulate the South as a political tool and partisan doormat, to be used at the chest of party leaders, whether the South is willing or unwilling to the transaction. In other words, in the Eastern and Western Democratic parties mind that Al Smith is the logical man for the presidential nomination, the South will be cailed and given a soporific political portion and lulled into its quadrennial slumber, only to awake later and discover that its solitude, instead of being a healthy asset, is in reality a serious liability, which has led the South to wellnigh political bankruptcy—at least from a national aspect. It is mainly amusing to see some of the anti-Smith Democrats of Democratic politics "dry" question and long on imbibing the "wet" stuff, yelling themselves hoarse about Smith being "all wet" and "too wet." It is likewise amusing, if not ludicrous, to note how some Southerners are labeling Smith as a "constitutional nullification," when these selfsame Southerners boast of the fact that they will nullify any constitutional amendment, which does not make their final action, and the approach to the end of the most eminent senators and congressmen in the national law-making body have recently made speeches and published magazine articles in support of the ignoring and nullifying of certain constitutional amendments in Dixieland. Wonder had it ever occurred to these Southern solons, statesmen (2), politicians and vindjammers that no party will ever be in the form of a section of the country which openly flaws defiance in the face of the basic laws of the land, and then blatantly brags about such disregard and disrespect for constituted authority? How many states, other than purely "Bani," commonwealths, could a presidential candidate from such section of the country hope to carry in a national election? How many of the people who have been "so long that the Democratic leaders of the national regard and treat this section in a manner akin to the political treatment accorded the Negro by the South. The "solid South" counts the Negro IN for taxation and congressional apportionment of representatives, but it counts him OUT when it comes to the exercise of his political rights and representation in affairs of government. In many instances, the Negro can only vote for nominees selected by the委员's committee and options, which exclude the black man, only the grounds of color. The Democratic leaders deal with the "solid South" in a similar manner, nominating the presidential and vice-presidential candidates of their choice without consulting the "solid South," and then putting their candidates on the official ballot for the election. They approve; for the Democratic party, they approve; for the Republican party, they only such nominees placed on said ballot—not in amanner sufficient to even jeopardize the "solid South" remaining "solid!" The Informer is not a supporter or adherent of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, but this paper is amused and ticked at the actions and anties of the "solid South," which is now try-manufactured under the defeat Smith's nomination under the guise of a ministered endorsement to the Houston convention, and other ruses and subterfuges. Even the bringing of the national convention to "Heavenly Houston" was another political stroke on the part of Democratic leaders of the North and East, who thought it good sop to the "solid South," and, recognizing the South for its solidness, to nominate a presidential candidate from some other state such candidate down the political throat of Dixie Democrats! Despite the anti-Smith sentiment supposed to be so prevalent in some of the Southern states, Texas not excluded, if the New York governor is nominated at the June parley, the Informer yokes the assertion that the "solid South" will still be found in November, and voting blindly, as in previous years, for the sole Democratic presidential nominee, "the solid one" in Last Sunday, I sat in the gallery of the house of representatives and witnessed the state funeral of the late Martin B. Madden. The president of the United States and his cabinet, foreign diplomats, the chief justice and members of the supreme court, representatives of the army and navy, bedecked with golden stars and braid, the senate and members of congress, the assembled others of the first of the fallen war clombs. Officials and Republicans and Democrats, the North and the South, white and colored, viewed to do honor to him whom all Americans delight to honor. As I sat there in silent, solemn sadness, my mind mused upon the deeper significance of this signal occasion. It was all an implied error of preaching byany and devotion to the Negro race. I wonder if this grave and reverent assemblage was even subconscious of the connotation of the formal expression of honor and respect. Mr. Madden's public career is projected against the background of a Negro constituency. He held his place in the federal long-term office, in the office of such influence. He was assured of his seat as long as he lived by the gratitude and appreciation of his Negro constituents whom he served so efficiently while serving the nation so effectively. No man has exercised more powerful influence upon legislation since Joe Cannon was shorn of dictatorial power by the trouble making groups, long since known as the progressive bloc. Mr. Madden was kept in his seat notwithstanding the strong temptation of the process of the color of race who, as a spectacle, would serve as an inspiration to the person who is the group of citizens craves representation of its own class and kind. The women of the nation are elated in the way of the man, of the pride of the sex. The Negro feels like sense of ennoblerment from pride of race. The men are so very so, and the level of the loyal and patriotic citizens have been without direct representation in the way of the man, and the men are used, and the presence of such representation leads the people to feel that it would be blissing and the place of mind and the same accustomed to what the eye continually sees. What the eye falls to see the mind refuses to be so long as to see the eye, and so long as to see the man. Madden's seat became vested by: Mr. Madden's, voluntary, was always placed by a colored representative. But so great was the appreciation of the capital and distinguished position in the national life that they refused to displace him, even to greatly and so much as to be so capricious. As a group of Elsts, it was written by the hand now, in the finding this release: The Negro was not the most unrestful of the people. The man tried in the city of Chicago. It is so organized as to make this domestic work on the other side of the country which is under the control of Negro and the non-arling people. The non-arling was confidently exact the Negrons. The man from Chicago. But Mr. Madden has served the race as a free-to-afforders of the law, affluently that it would be the height of political unwidom to ruthlessly replace the man who is the only one who is following a colored man. Mr. Madden is now seventy years old. In a shortly time he was a member of the class of the other two of the men, and will retire voluntarily from his seat in the congress. Then come the men as his successor, the color of the man as his successor. The prophecy is felt true much earlier than the other. The man is so full as the fullness of time has now arrived. A colored man has been designated as a color of the man. OPINIONS MADDEN University, Washington, D. C. transferred to the North. With six or seven degrees in congress, the race again جول begin to assume political self-consciousness. We may not reasonably expect that this handful of black congressmen is going to work any political life goes. Three or four women in the house have not improved the body. The whole of government has with their accustomed strongness as if a few feminine cogs were not injected. The same thing will be gone of the Negroes to whom the doors must shortly open. The real value of the Negro presence in bongress is that it gives to every black citizen the consciousness that he is part of the governmental machinery and is a participant in the making of the law which he is to do. And then the more presence of the representative of any element in the law-making body assures a certain degree of respect for and consideration of the rights and welfare of that element. The cause of the Jew before the supreme court will never suffer as long as there is a son of the peace sitting among the gentle judges. The whole Catholic world feels safer in the maintenance of religious equality before the law because a member of that household of faith helps to interpret the law. I used to see the late Seminar Blanche K. Bruce moving in and out as a member of the United States senate. Whether or not he ever opened his mouth, his mere corporal presence was a bulwark of defense for the rights of his race. Not only so, we have seen more than once that a single Negro representative in a state legislature has been instrumental in an engineering through important racial legislation. The late Bishop Arnold in the Ohio legislation put through the non-organization law in the public schools. " In the same state Harry C. Smith had an anti-lynching measure enacted into law, " Both directly and indirectly, a Negro congressman can be of incalentable advantage to his race. Chicago is but the pioneer of the seven big Negro cities of the North. Where she leads the others will follow.
