A group plan has also been provided, whereby members of lodges, organizations and families pay for $6 for half of their members, can provide free hospital service for their entire membership. One word, if a local lodge or some other organization has 100 members, the payment of $200 will entitle the entire membership to free hospitalization for $6 per member. This plan should appeal especially to local lodges, who spend large sums of money annually in trying to provide care for their members and attention for their members, usually in the homes of such guild members.

Kockeffler, Jr., who attended his own graduation from Brown University in 1897. Declaring the purpose of all education was to teach men and women how to live full lives in any environment, the philanthropist called on the university to carry forward their education in living useful lives. "Obviously every one should make a living," the speaker, "and education should properly hold to that end. The chief of existence, how to make a life. And end if that be true, then may it not be true that the purpose of education is to fit the individual to live and lead a useful and well-rounded life in any environment in which he finds himself. There has been a great rush of boys and girls to the colleges and universities of our land, and I doubt not many of these young people have got much that was needed in their communities there afforded. On the other hand, I cannot but think that with a better had they remained at home and taken up some task for which better had they remained into their stride earlier in life.

Various and sundry rumors were afloat before the heavy awning had scarcely settled on the sidewalk in front of the temple. Telephones were kept busy in answering queries concerning the collapse of the entire temple. Many there were who had known for the past three years that this building was improperly constructed, and as is the custom, many "I told you so" were heard. All the afternoon, crowds swarmed around the temple, watching the work of removing the debris from the sidewalk, and on many faces could be seen disappointment plainly written. They had come to see a demolished building, with hundreds of injured, only to find a fallen awning. Bad as the incident was, had it happened just a day earlier, there is no saying how many people would have been killed or several hundred as this building had been the place for the grand Court of Calanthe, during the convention of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythian. As it was, it is miraculous that more persons were not caught under the falling shed, as it happened at an hour when hundreds of people are entering or leaving the building.

The value of the fair is found in the philosophy of advertising which emphasizes concentration important as education and education. According to the reports of officials of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, the fair seems to occupy a more important place than the fair in the United States. The first recorded fair in the United States took place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was financed by the collection of $50 for the prizes from local business non in 1804. Since then the institution has grown to where it now stands in 1904. The fair includes positions; and 2290 county and community fairs and tremendously to this. Last year, according to Billboard, more than twenty-one million people attended the fair. The manufacturers of nationally advertised and distributed merchandise are represented at one, or more, of these fairs, either by directly controlled exhibitors or through their local laborers and merchants handling the line. The University of Chicago has established a school in fair management, budgeting and accounting. Government departments, state authorities and community commercial organizations have added prestige to the fair, by becoming participants in some of them from time to time. The value of the fair to the merchant may be found in the philosophy of advertising which ranks descriptive matter, photograph and demonstrations important as means of con What the Fair Is For ave sometimes failed to appreciate the advertise of particular expositions, bazars and fairs.

Each a campaign of fellowship with potential cut offs will be a campaign of the following: entering into the well-weighted, proper exhibit space. Mergants have sometimes failed to appreciate the advertising and educations of the company and have often permitted the quasi-social aspects of the gatherings to obscure, most乃是, the general interest of the company, and the main potential of the company to be a wide-awake man who owns the whole business. If the firm or bazaar, as a group of the company, is the only one of the most important, the own mental attitude toward such projects. If he is a wide-awake man who assails himself of every opportunity to make his business and his permanent interest, he is the community of the company, the fair may often be an instrument of great good to him. The prime object of any fair, community or international, or of any of the great things of the company, is that the group of the community; and that includes the merchant and his customer or potential customers. The services and concessions are but the sugar-to-sugar the average human being demands with every medicine that is prescribed for his good.

(CONTINUE FROM LAST WEEK) "It was not the adverse vote which causes the Informer to discuss this matter at length (for Texans are waged on by the opposing party) cheerfully, but it was the attitude summed by the Hon. S. W. Green of New Orleans, who took the floor and waged one of the most bitter and subtle fights against Dallas and the entire South. "The supreme chancellor, a native South African, took all his days, took the position that he is unalterably opposed to the supreme lobby meeting in the far South" as long as there is segregation, Jimmy and disfranchisement in Dixieland. "Mr. Green, in taking the front against the South, did himself immensely dare to expose him, he charges the Informer editor with having made a He really made a demagogic effort to prejudice the delegates against uniform rank and Calahentans, particularly those from Northern and Eastern states, in imminent danger of mob violence in Texas and other states in the far north. "Any man who is anathem of his wife should divorce her, and any man is a very poor excuse who will stand in front of his wife, or be totally detached of his wife or his household." There is a new South and a new North. The new South is becoming more liberal, and prejudicial, as it relates to the Nebraska North is becoming more intolerant and prejudicial, as it relates to the Nebraska patent fact, in to blind to attempt to lead others. Since Mr. Green is bitter against Diana and since he has made some "awful charges against Texas in his speech and campaign in Texas, we wonder how he will feel in 1928, in the event he should attend the Houston Pytlansa at Houston. "Being a kit further, Mr. Green charged that the white South would not attend the supreme session at Dallas: adding that the "Seattle is not a daughter, mother or sweetheart; and yet the records do not show where given in any other section of the county." The question naturally arisen, was Mr. Green sincere in what he said in the interview, "I am merely the bull of the Pythian grand lodge of Texas for the past several years, or was he merely bloodied the bull?" He said, and honest in his convictions in Texas, why such a change of fluent in Illinois? (6) (6) (1927) he petitioned, said defendants to publicly withdraw the charges made against petitioner in the paper, paper, the Houghton Informer, which charges were published in said newspaper on the 27th day of August, (7) That instead of publicly withdrawing the charges made against me, August 27, 1927, the said defendants, Webster-Richardson Publishing Company, the Houston Informer, the said C. F. Richardson, president and editor on Saturday, October 8, 1927, a false and libelous editorial under the caption, Richardson Cartigues Supreme Inferior, the now petitioned author as published in a southeast houston Inferner is attached hereto for refusal of the following language of the editorial rected against your petitioner, in false, malicious and libelous and has speeches made in defense of Dallas and Indianapolis, the two contesting the editorial of the Fylfinian case are of the opinion that Mr. Green was so perturbed in body and mind that he did not attend at the time he made the remark that the 'South is no decent man's wife, daughter or sweetheart. "The supreme chancellor also suggested that The Inferior inform the overalls of the city over Dallas by a vote of 60 to 47, rather than by 55 to 47; and yet his victory in the city in the county title and obstinate attitude towards Dallas and the South, and with the help of the University, gave his choice of convention city by acclamation. "As a summer of fact, so bitter, vivid attack and box barrage against Texas and the South, that Dr. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education of the AF, Methodist Church, and Methodist a resident of Waco, Texas, answered the Green charges and oral charges, opened his retaliation and THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1928 who is ashamed of his wife should divorce her; meaning that any man who lives in a section of the country and entertains such ideas about his section as the supreme chancellor does, should remove to some other section of the country. “Mr. Green should bear in mind that he does not head nor direct a sectional order, but a national organization whose main financial and numerical strength lies in Southern jurisdictions; and that people who bear all the rights should, at some time, have some say as to how their goods shall be delivered, and the like.” “Mr. Greens, in taking the floor against the South, did himself immensurable injury, and because this paper dared to expose him, he charges The Informer editor with having made a 'vicious attack' upon him; when, as a matter of fact, our former editorial was free from any personal attack upon the New Orleans fraternalist, but merely an editorial dissertation upon the supreme chancellor's attitude at Chicago as contrasted with his attitude when attending the grand lodge in the Texas jurisdiction.” “And if our editorial appeared somewhat better and sharp to the supreme chancellor, did not begin to our main the acrimony and acidity which marked the supreme chancellor's verbally assault upon Texas and the 'Far South.'” "It is indeed a very shortsighted policy on the part of any Negro leader or body, which would penalize Negroes of the South and deprive them of certain contacts and associations merely to 'get even' with Southern whites for the injustices and inequalities heaped upon a less fortunate and less-advanted race." (9) Now, your petitioner shows that, in making such charges against petitioner, it was, in fact, to the knowledge and to the purpose of the said C. F. Richardson and the said Webster-Richardson Publishing Co., Inc., to bring said libelous charges against your petitioner for the purpose of discrediting and injuring him among the members of the said Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, and destroying his usefulness as the supreme chancellor of the said order, and for the purpose of injuring and hurting him among the members of his race, citizens of the United States and of foreign countries, and prejudicing and injuring him among the white people of the South and particularly among the white people of the states of Texas and Louisiana. (10) Now, your petitioner shows that the said matters thus complained to the State, where he was born, raped and where he has been disqualified to the South, where he was born, raped and where he has been disqualified to the North, where he prejudice and incite the colored citizens, members of the Knights of Pythia in the Southern and Eastern states of the United States, against the white citizens and the colored citizens, a view of holding a supreme lodge convention of the Knights of Pythia in the Southern city; that petitioner regains the lodge of the Knights of Pythia, beginning on the 10th day of August, 1977, and ending on the 20th day of August, 1977, that every Negro woman at Dallas was subject to insult by members of the white race; that the petitioner regains the wife, daughter, mother or sweetheart to live in; that petitioner fought against the city of Dallas, Texas, as the place for the meeting of the petitioner, daughter, mother and petitioner that petitioner had sought to prejudice the delegates at at赎 supreme states in attendance at said supreme states in attendance at the Southern states would be in constant and imminent danger of mof violence in the State of Texas and other states where petitioner sought to revive and stimulate sectionalism and inter-racial stimulation and benignness; and that petitioner in unworthy to enjoy the rights of a citizen of the United States to Louisiana and to hold the office of supreme chancellor of the University. (11) Now, your petitioner shows that the said Houston informer has a state of Houston, State of Louisiana; in the City of Houston, State of Texas; in the City of Chicago, State of New York; in the City of New York, State of New York, and throughout the United States, and that there are among the colonized who, being of high charisma, certain respectable persons of the colored race who, being of high charisma, that other men, like themselves, are truthful and give credence to statements contained in its officials. that he is a Southerner by birth and has always been decent and industrious and has always enjoyed the conventions of the race; that he is married and a man of family; that he has always enjoyed the conventions of the race to which he be laws and of many members of the white colony and of the members of the wild colonies. He and the supreme lodge thereof and of the grand lodge of the said order in the United States and subordinate lodges of the said Pythia order. It shows that the said libel has hurt him in reputation and caused him mental anguish. He is a man of family and that it has caused him pain, grief and mortification. He has been exposed to the effects of the reading of the infamous and false charges herein above recited and against him by said defendants. (14) Now, your petitioner further submits that you own a publishing Company like, and the said C. F. Richardson have, after the submission, shown definite, shown unfair, and moved your petitioner. (15) Now, your petitioner shows that you have thus inflicted upon him, he is entitled to recover new money fifty thousand ($50,000) for compensation for the hurt of his good name and for the pain, shame and humiliation of yourselves and said false and wanton attack, and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in ad Wherefore, these allegations considered, petitioner paws that Webster-Richardson Purchasing Company, a member of the said C. P. Richardson, whose full name is unknown to petitioner, be jointly and in solido in the full sum of $100,000 after due proceedings had, your petitioner have judgement against them jointly and in solido in the full sum of $100,000 with legal interest thereon from judicial demand, until paid, and petitioner paws for all general and equitable relief.

He said in this connection: "This amount has been assumed me and I am hoping to get it." The expenses, according to Attorney Howard, had been quite heavy in his interest, and he had been quite heavy in Mississippi, and at one time he and a man named McLennan had borrowed $2,500 and had given a joint note. The committeeman from Mississippi told of his battles with the "lilly whites" in Mississippi, led by a white humberman named Crosby. Being a close friend of Secretary Hoover, this man caused Mr. Howard much concern, and for this reason, the latter declared, that he was not definitely decided as to his position as far as candidates are concerned, but if he finds that everything is on the "up and up" he would support Hoover's candidacy.

PAGE FOUR-FIRST IN CIRCULATION Weekly Excursions BY ALICE DUNBAR NELSON (For The Associated Press) To go to New Orleans is to step at once into an Old World atmosphere and compo- titious. It is so essential to the typical American city, either Northern or Southern, that its delight is like the fragrances of perfumes. The musical atmosphere of New Orleans is charming. We are reminded that grand opera on the North American continent be- came the common fave of the natives; that some of our foremost musical genius hailed from the city's thrilling of the folk songs and dance rhythm of New Orleans, later vulgarized and populated. Musically, one personality for years dominated New Orleans. For forty years the outstanding figure, the city was the leading city of the city was William J. Nickerson, whose death a few months ago was such a shock to the entire community, while the city was the most significant, the historical history of the Negro in New Orleans for the past generation. He was born in New Orleans in 1865 and educated in the city, graduating from the First College in the 1865 study of music. The works of the young music-violin, piano, solfergio, under Prof. L'Enfant, the veteran director of the orchestra of the French Opera. For years, they had studied music for over a half century, and the musical world of a generation ago. Mr. Nickerson was an apt pupil, and it was not long before he was a teacher. The choir of the schooling concerts, directing the musical life of the city, urging his scores of music pupils to make of their music a living, pulsing, artistic thing. He was a teacher in the school of music, when he discovered it in the person of a lad named Eddie Moore, poor but brilliant, Mr. Nickerson set about trying to give the music the kind of kind of music that is the only way he traveled. Among his music pupils the master formed an "Eddie Moore Club," and one or two brilliant concerts soon to come, and the music was the most of the most of the city'sMusic. Stuttgart, Germany. The "Eddie Moore Concerts" became a semi-annual classic. New Orleans waited for them, looker, forward to them, for the time they were in the public life. He was also for the Moore's expenses were paid, a piano purchased for him to have in his lodgings in Stuttgart so that he had a place to play. The band was from the conservatory, and from his masters. His untimely demise cast the city into gloom, but the Eddie Moore Club bravely brought his body into the first Stuttgart and paid him last honors. This was but one of Prof. Nicker's activities, a movement of the department of music of Southern University, a position he held for nearly thirty years, or until the late 1980s, when Orcheans to Baton Reine. He had a novelty in that time, modeled after the famous Faddee Orchestra of Harlem, and in that string orchestra, he organised the "Nickerson School of Music" in 1914. He was a friend and teacher of daughter Camille Nickerson, a granddaughter of Prof. Nickerson, and now teacher of music at Music, and now teacher of music at University.

He played first violin in the orchestra of the Edmund Dede, and a general home after an absence in Paris to have M. Dede revisit his old home after an absence in a general home after he him play. It was a gala occasion, a night of lights, and older whispers about it with bated breath.

Prof. Nickerson took his orchestra and mandolin club to Atlanta when he was a child, and furnished the music for that historic occasion. So pronounced was Nickerson to make a tour, as far north as Chicago, where enthusiasts enthusiastic about the music were not only pretty, but knew their music. Prof. Nickerson graduated of the Nickerson School of Music are a part of the musical life of the city now; they have studied the music, they are teaching music in schools and homes, and all seem imbued with the spirit of the music. The professor was a composer as well as an ornater and teacher. All New Orleans marches during the war, and the music of "The Departure of the Ninth U.S. Army." The time was martial, stirring, and was popular. Then came the World War, and the recruits in New Orleans soldiered Soldier Boys of Uncle Sam." There were also songs, pieces for the band lost; some are forgotten. Many live only in the memories and musical memories. The professor found time for inventions. A nudifier for the piano—his first piece of public pupils inable to the rest of the orchestra—was the attachment for the piano is another. The composer's character was another. William Necker, a musician up on the old city among its Negro population will linger for many a year, grown up around his life and his music. A fine, strong, dominant figure in the musical life of a musical composer.

C. Colvin, Houston, passed through the city Friday. She was accompanied from Nashville, Tenn., by her aunt, Mrs. P. C. Colvin, head of the department of English at Jack Yates High School, who had gone to Nashville to be present at the Fisk University graduation exercises, where she witnessed the graduation of Miss Antone, who received the degree of bachelor of arts. Miss Antone was valedictorian of her high school class in Galveston and maintained that very high record in scholarship at Fisk. The September Fisk Herald rated her as one of six highest in scholarship, covering a period of two consecutive quarters. The June Herald lists Miss Antone as one of the ten highest in average made by the eighty graduates in their four years' standing. Miss Antone's parents presented her with a Buick sedan as a graduation gift. She expects to visit Houston during the summer. In loving memory of our departed husband and father, Attorney L. V.

"Phil and "King," two black boys of New York City, whose native home is British Columbia, are leaders in university, but holds the university, but holds the American 600 yard indoor championship and the university, but holds the American 600 yard indoor championship and the university, in being elected "captain," Philip holds another record—a record for recognition given the "minimum" age ever held before he was ever before been so honored in New York University athletics. And such honor, such honor, we hears it, he hears it. Both of these athletic brothers have the university "idiot" now on their shoulders. He has ever been the brother of Philip, known among the boys as "King Edward," recently the 220-yard dash in the Mid-Altitude track meet. He had come in first in the finals, but only third in the finals. We looked up the family of "Phil" and "King" and found that the whole family, have brains and energy and brawn. We will be a firmer believer in "eugenics" hereafter. Their father, Fitz R. Edwards, who lives now on 1838th Street in New York, was "chief magistrate's clerk" in British Guiana, and their two sisters are real estate brokers in Harlem. Although the boys are tall, the sisters are short—in height. Miss Lucille Edwards is one of the real estate experts of the metropolis. The mother, Mrs. Julia M. Edwards, sent her daughters to the best schools in Guiana, where went the daughter of the governor of the military officers and other prominent families. The parents believed in the "best" for the children. The boys are not only athletes but are honored in other college life: "King" is treasurer of the International Y. M. C. A., at the university.

JACKSON, M.D. (For The Associated Negro Press) The present vogue among women to become thin and wilful in order to comply with fashion's mandates, claims a recent writer in the Journal of the Indiana Medical Association, has been attended with so many willful women that the plan has been made to medical men to discuss the subject from the health standpoint. Accordingly, the question of whether women should be thin is a serious health issue. Their health was debated in the new on February 22 at a gathering of medical students at the New York Academy of Medicine, under the direction of the In the discussion that resulted, one of the speakers said that he was told by Poiret, the French dressmaker, that American women were almost the only women in the world who wanted to look like barber poles. Other speakers called attention to the evil effects of improper dieting and the use of drugs in an effort to reduce. One of the results of during is in the production of terbium. One of the expressions rolling machines, starvation dies, going without water, the use of thyroid, iodine and smoking to excess, all were condemned as injurious. The untutored person frequently eliminates vitamines from his body by doing without cream, butter and other foods, thus bringing about an unbalanced diet that is very harmful and may lead to a pathological condition. The consensus of opinion was that no reducing should be undertaken except under the advice of a competent physician, and that all women need a well-balanced ration, but that there would be less tendency to accumulation of fat, if the well-balanced action is limited in amount and with the requisite amount of sleep, and with temperate habits. The American women were further admonished that it is better to be reasonably fat and healthy than to be thin and sickly. hinder you in these United States; but if you have some of the Edwards brand of grit in you color, you will not "prevent" you in any state.

The call to the colors was not to white men or black men, but to all men alike and the vast number of our men who answered the call and gave their lives that democracy might rule should serve as a vivid reminder to those who are now permitted to enjoy the blessings of that democracy for which these men of our race so gallantly fought. ! The Negro was good enough to fight for democracy, then he is good enough to enjoy its blessings, and nothing short of the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments will settle Uncle Sam's account with his black soldiers. “What a great thing it would be if the same amount spent yearly in the enforcement of the 18th amendment was spent in enforcing the 14th and 15th amendments. “It is difficult to understand why a nation will condone the disfranchisement of one group of its citizens because the color of their skinn happens to be black, when illiterate white people are allowed to cast their vote. It should be the right of every citizen to cast his vote on the basis of qualification and not on color. "The Negro should be represented in congress the same as other groups a d or our fat-minded lawmakers should see that the Negro is given the right of franchise see that the representation congress be cut down in keeping with the decision handed down by the Supreme Court last year."

SIM-MONS, well-known oil magnate and promoter of Mexia, who is spending considerable time in Houston and South Texas on official business, was asked his impressions of the recent Python grand lodge and he gave out the following statement: "I remember back in 1917 when 'Shed Willis was made grand chancellor of the broke, and it did not even have credit with colored undertakings. Willis himself was in the unrestrained, and very few, if any, colored undertakers would handle the funeral of a deceased Pythian, and he did not, but take it from me, he has certainly made a big thing out of the Pythian, and I am sure he admitted that he is a fraternal贤人. I have been a member of the Pythian order for years, and I am proud to be identified with such a wonderful organization. "It really reads like fiction to recall that 10 years ago the order was on the financial rocks, while today it is perhaps the strongest state order of any Negro fraternity in the world; and Willis is due much of the credit for this remarkable and unprecedented progress. Why sure, Willis ought to be supreme man-holder of the order, and he's a belief that the "first" of this important post, and when he is made supreme chancellor of the Pythian jurisdiction of the world, just watch the supreme body take on new life and begin to "strut its stuff." Before handing the editor a luscious Waller County watermelon, the colonel fired this parting shot: "It is awful the way married women, whose husbands are making good money and are fairly well fixed, are crowding single girls, often much better here and out of the public schools of Houston. What is the use of educating our girls if they are to be refused positions due to the teaching profession being filled with women who have husbands to provide for them; while many of these girls are the sole dependence of their aged parents who have made many sacrifices to educate them for the teaching profession you tell the world that the colonel is opposed to this practice and will not rest contented until this policy has been changed. Furthermore, I shall have more to say on this subject later. "Willis for supreme chancellor, married women for the home and signaled the city's authority to the colonel's slogan," he fired as he signalled his liveried chauffeur to the island. "He was Dan, as he joined a line of automotive traffic for the Island City. And—with snap his slogan—the tone of his colonel's Silimson" meant every word he had uttered. Miss Robie D. A. Jones, 1972 West St., was host last Friday evening, and was invited to meet me in Meddames E. Sampaso, T. O. Newlin and J. E.

The occasion was a testimonial to Bishop A. J. Carey, Chicago civil service commissioner, held in the parlor of the Appointment of the most of the principal leaders in politics, business and the professions in Chicago. Most noticeable during the testimony was the continual reference to the congressional situation and the steady insistence that the teamman, and his party's choice for the congressional seat, be supported. First among those to make a plea for congressional action was John R. Lynch, who was first elected to congress from Mississippi in 1869. He insisted that their choice be embodied that their duty was to support DoDvest in order to be sure that there were a strong position for Negroes running, he warned, there was a strong position for the position. Lynch also took occasion to tell DePriest that the work of congress issues in committees, not can the floor of the house of representatives. Cognizance was taken by Mal. Lynch the continued reference to DePriest's lack of scholastic ability, and he informed them that in congress one could find many men who do not know nearly as much as DePriest.

WINSLOW'S SYRUP THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1928 Improved Uniform International General Assembly Sunday School Lesson (the REP. R. F. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean Noble Bible Institute of Chicago). (8. 1922, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for June 17 LESSON TEXT - Mark 15:16-14.7 PRIMARY TOPIC - Tear down text in that, where it is most important. PRIMARY TOPIC - Jesus Dies for the JUNIOR TOPIC - Christ Dies for God INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- IC—WHY Jesus Chose the Cross. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—The Meaning of the Cross. 1. Jesus Crowned With Thorns (vv. 18-20). After Pilate had couraged Jesus be delivered Him to be crucified. 1. The crown of thorns (vv. 16, 17). Knowing that Jesus had been condemned for claiming to be ismail's king they clothed Him with purple and crowned Him with a wreath of thorns. The crown of thorns typified the curse which He bore for man's sin (Gen. 3:17, 18). 2. Their salutation (v. 18). They said, "Hail King of the Jews." This they did in derision. 3. Their mock worship (vv. 19, 20). They smote Him on the lead with a reed, taunted Him and went through a performance of mock worship. 11. Jesus Crucified (vv. 21-41). 1. They led Him away to the place of crucifixion (vv. 21-23). At first they compelled Him to bear His own cross, but when physical weakness made this impossible, they compelled Simon, the Cyrenian, to bear it for Him. It is beautiful to note that the son of this Cyrenian came to believe on Jesus (cf. Rom. 14:13). In all probability his being compelled to bear the cross was the means of his own salvation. Christ's force was so marked by the thorns and cruel blows that "there were no injuries" to him. All this he endured for us. He drank this bitter cup to its very dregs, but refused to drink "the wine mingled with the wine which would have deadened his Pain. 2. Gambling for the clothing of the Lover. 2. Having named Haiti to the cross they gambled for the seamless robe under the very cross on which he was dying. He was drowned down to watch Haiti (Matt. 27; 38). 3. The superstition (v. 26). It was customary to place over the very cross the robe and crime of the offender. Though Plateau did this in mockery to the wax the title was absolutely true. He was placed between two thieves (vv. 27; 38). 4. Between two thieves (vv. 27; 38). This added to His thieves. His identification with the two robbers was made clear. He was numbered with the transgressors" ( Isa. 53; 12). The dying Saxon reviled (vv. 23; 28). This reviling was engaged to by the passerby, the chief priests and the thieves who were crucified with Him. In this nameless agony and shame they taunted Him by bidding Him come down from the cross, derisively saying, "He saved others, Himself he cannot save." He could not save Himself and others, so He chose to die to save others. 6. Darkness upon the land (v. 35). This was at noonday. So shocking was this crime that nature threw around the Son of God a shroud to hide Him from the gaze of a godless company. 7. The cry from the cross (vv. 34-36). When God laid upon Christ, His Beloved Son, the world's sin and turned His face from Him, there went out the awful cry of angush. "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" 8. He dismissed His spirit (v. 37). When the price of our redemption was fully paid, Jesus dismissed His spirit. No one took His life away from Him. He gave it up. 9. The rent veil (v. 38). This symbolized the giving up of His life (Heb. 10:20). 10. The Centurion's confession (v. 38). He said, "Truly this man was the Son of God." He angered group of women (vv. 40, 41). He who had lovingly ministered to Him was waiting to see where they could bury his precious body. 12. Jesus' burial (vv. 42-47). Loving bands now took the precious body and hid it in its jesus's new tomb. He also risked to the foul treatment of the Lord now risked his reputation and by his action makes a bold confession of the Fear God if we four God we. need never fear the devil, for he is a conquered beast. We must be a conquered beast, faith, and in the bodiness of the lion. Of the tribe of Judah we shall be as Saintliness No Christian man has any right to attempt to create substance of character by hiding himself from the activities of every day life. - G.

The report which expressed the sentiment of the church read as follows: "We believe that the solution to the fundamental unity of humanity and to the practice of human brotherhood. It believes that the solution of this, as weas of all acute problems of social life, lies in the application of the principles of the sage. The general assembly expresses the assurance that in due time one of the meetings will be held within the bounds of one of the synods within which both races are strongly represented, both of whom may share in the meeting at any time to receive the counsel of national missions to this effect." The report, hurled into the face of the Southern members and Southern leaders, called off the annual goodwill dinner because the Negro delegates could not attend, was interpreted as an answer to the question of which cropped out when Negro delegates were segregated in the general meeting. The Southern delegates expressed the opinion that the assembly had no power to adopt the measure which would also give the Negro equal voice in the decision, even belong to the Southern branch and the action of the general assembly to prevent the between the two bodies of Presbyterians.

Texas at Travis Negro Graduates Upsala College, Swedish School Former Texan, Bishop College Product, First Race Man To Complete Course in East Orange Institution of Learning —Exempted From Final Examinations—Valedictorian of Class Composed of 33 White Students. East Orange, N. J.—Showing that indomitable spirit which has made Texans famous all over the country, Rev. C. M. Long, pastor Calvary Baptist Church of this city, has the first colored graduate of Upala Swedish Lutheran College of East Orange, but in receiving his degree of bachelor of arts in philosophy and social sciences, the reverend led his white classmates in scholastic work, being exempted from final examination, also carrying off the highest honors. Rev. Long, formerly a resident of Texas and graduate of Bishop Colleen's institution the normal and journalistic courses in 1983, plans to enter Drew University's Uptown Yale for his master's degree. During his study at Upsa's the minister has created profound respect for the black community, students from Enters Upsala January 1926 Having established his residence in East Orange, N. J., September, 1950, he began immediately plan for the beginning of the spring semester, he launched upon the course which was calculated to lead to the realization of his dream. He restless for years—the course which was also to bring honor to his degree—he College a high intellectual atmosphere, and a thoroughness of organization and class-room works in the then-urban Church. They to rigid bap- py conditions he at once sought, to adjust himself, and within a few months gave evidence that he was no mean contender in the race for knowledge, but was one with whom he would eventually have to reckon. During the following school year, 1929-37, he was placed upon the disbanded faculty, where he still remains, and to him gravitated the responsibility of dean of the other sixteen members of the faculty, and rolled an students of Upsala. In this position he guarded well every matter of scholarship, athletics or discipline. For these reasons, and the matter of all conflicting interests which involved his people, his departure from the college is general. He makes between all conflicting students. He has won for himself a general esteem as a great that ennobles his students. At the opening of the fall semester, at the opening of the spring semester by faculty members that Rev. Kow had graduate in the spring of 1928 at the head of his class, which indeed graduated. He became the principal for the school. Yet, when the final averages were taken and became the new head of the class, he distanced his white brothers and sisters in pure scholarship, not only because of bestowment, but where it did, but so well had Rev. Long done his work in practically the same manner as in bestowing class and college that he also be chosen by his class as "class prophet." Graduating Exercises Held The stage for graduation was set Wednesday, June 6, at 10:00 a.m. in the open, upon the spacious, beautiful great throng of whites and blacks who gathered there, say Mr. Long and others. They were there to see and to jolles with many members and friends of the class. The music stirred that great throng to tense emotions, but when the graduates wart sons and daughters from seven spaces and countries—from China, America and other corners of the earth, and led in scholarship by the graduates of black men filled—across the platform to receive degrees, there make thunderous shouts, that could not be heard. If FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN was a great occasion, for a Negra minister had once more made history and paved the way for his people. Rev. Long expects to enter Drew University or New York University he needs to prove his master's degree next spring. High Points In His Life Rev. Leng was born in Texas, 1888 lived largely in the Middle West, including Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. He graduated from Bishop College Maryhill, Texas from the University School of Theology, 1912; served several years as pastor of Third Baptist Church, Baptist Charleston, Baptist Church, Charleston, Va. Bank Street Baptist Church, Nor- ward, Va. Due largely to his crav- ness, he resigned the work in favor of his present charge in East Orange. A religious and social work. Finding his church field almost a hopeless case with less than 100 members, in which he worked to so vitalize and reconstruct his work that he stands today the equal chief minister in the size in membership. An evidence of this truth is seen in the fact that he was the only member directed by Mrs. J. M. Tilden, treated the public to a "flower tournament" in the audition of the high school the church has only 450 members.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1928 WILLIS FOR SUPREME CHANCCELLOR! When one observes and contrasts the record made by the Texas as jurisdiction of the Colored Knights of Pythias, led by W. S. Willis of Dallas, during the past decade, with the achievements made by the supreme lodge during the same period of time under its present leadership, it is not surprising that Pythias all over the country are demanding that the Texas grand chancellor be "drafted" and elected as S. W. Green's successor at the 1929 biennial meeting, which will be held either in Indianapolis, Ind., or Chicago, Ill. The Texas order held its grand session in this city last week, meeting here for the first time since 1918, and it was the consen- When the Texas Pythians met here in 1918, the first year of the Willis administration, the order was literally bankrupt; but when the same body convened here last week the financial report showed assets and resources amounting to $816,231.44. During the 1918 grand lodge it was necessary to borrow money to defray the expenses incident to holding the sessions here, but during the intervening ten-year period the order has made such wonderful headway and phenomenal progress under Mr. Willis leadership and administration that he is the foremost state official of the Texas Pythian realm. Willis has a vision and the ability to put over a big program, as is evidenced by his record as titular head of the Texas order during the last ten years. Not only a fraternal leader has this distinguished Texan won honors, but in the conduct and operations of his own affairs he has been signally successful; and he was running his own business so successfully and efficiently in 1918 that the Texas Pythians virtually had to draft him as a candidate for the office of governor. Mr. Willis has not indicated to the Informer that he is even in a receptive mood for the office of supreme chancellor, but realizing that the supreme body needs a virile, intelligent, business-like administration; and cognizant of the fact that Mr. Willis is better fixed and qualified for this high position than any other man in the Pythian fraternity of the time. Mr. Willis has arrived for this indomitable Texan to be elevated to the highest office within the gift of the supreme jurisdiction. The Informer's support and advocacy of Mr. Willis for the supreme chancellorship of the Pythian order is not actuated merely by the fact that Mr. Willis is a Texan, but because of his recognition and prestige as a resident of any other state, with this kind of record this paper would be found boosting and backing his cause. When the Pythian forces of Texas were roaming in the fraternal wilderness and their condition was alarmingly precarious, William Shedrick Willis, then a resident of Waco, was sought as the fraternal Moses to lead the Pythian hosts of this state across the sea of bankruptcy and insolvency into the land of fraternal safety and solidarity, financial strength and prestige; and today it is apparent that this same Texan is the one man in the order who can perform a similar service for and to the supreme lodge, and thereby lead and direct the national order from one conquest to another, and save the body from bankruptcy, defeat and disgrace under the present regime, will befall the organization. W. S. Willis of Texas is our choice for supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia! PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES FOR TEXAS After observing the manner in which both major parties in Texas conducted their presidential preferential precinct, county, district and state conventions in this state. The Informer has reached the conclusion that the Texas legislature ought to pass a bill establishing presidential primary elections in this state; in order that the voters have an even chance to state their preferences, delegates to national conventions of both parties and presidential aspirants without having this constitutional right curtailed, abridged or limited by partisan manipulators who virtually control and dominate both the Democratic and Republican parties in the Lone Star State. Instead of these quadrennial wrangles, fights and splits, under the presidential primary elections (the same as held in other states) bosism and big stick tactics would be pass, and every opportunity to go to the polls and vote for the candidate and delegates of his or her choice, without let or hindrance. Conventions, which are usually manned and conducted at the behest of partisan bosses and overlords, do not afford the masses a fair chance to give expression to their preference; for even the precinct conventions, where the voters are given their first and major chance to exercise their partisan rights and political prelegates, are generally controlled and manipulated by the "ins"; and the voters are given the opportunity for presidential nominations are either excluded from parliaments, or they are unaccented at the county and state conventions by those wielding the sceptre of power. K Texas had a presidential preferential primary election system, boss-and-gag rule, particularly in the Republican party. DISFRANCHISED By DRUSILIA DUNEE HOUSTON (For The Associated Negro Press) What of it! You may shackle the black hand; His developing mind you cannot command. Above injunction Ethiopia's soul will soar Free and bounded, she will see the door Which when opened again, will bind black folk more Worthy, more skillful and more wise than the mass Of ignorance, that makes race-hate her favored class. You must not be kindened by shouting black men out, The worst Ethiopian, who cared naught about Higher things, now will try to follow the route Of learning the truth. When the misguided South snared within the power Of cruel greed, of MOB RULE, of white slavery Will find that she but shackled the power to free Herself, when she had to fiercely smite The South thus strengthened evil and fiercely smite With almost fatal stroke her higher destined fate. When her spirit now burdened under the weight Of prejudice she was forced to rise; and bending the fair Goddess of the South Shall lift the scourge of storm, pestilence and drouth From her fair dominions; when she crowns the brow Of a patient heart; and select their delegates through the exercise and enjoyment of their suffrage. Would come to an abrupt and permanent termination; and instead of wrangles at the various conventions held every presidential election year, the voters would settle the issue and select their delegates through the exercise and enjoyment of their suffrage. Such a system would also make for a larger vote polled by the party or parties, for under the present system and regime, the masses of Republican and Democratic voters do not have the necessary function as free and untrammed American citizens. It was to abolish and outlaw this system that several of the American states, especially of the East and Middlewest, adopted the presidential preferential primary elections, and the delegates chosen to the national convention make the race for such honor either in support of some avowed candidate or "favorite son," or in support of the majority of the voters will or wish in this respect. Of course, the party bosses and manipulators and the distributors of federal patronage will raise a vociferous howl against such an advanced political system in Texas, but the exigencies of the times and the safeguarding of the rights of the electors deprive them of their right to vote in Texas; and The Informer hopes that the next state legislature will write such a bill into the civil statutes of this commonwealth. PRINCESS REVUE OR STYLE SHOW? The decision of the judges, in awarding first place in the Pythian princess revue, held here at the City Auditorium Wednesday night of last week, to an entry that few in the audience conceded had a possible chance to even receive favorable mention, has presented a new angle to this annual event which was started in connection with the annual grand lodge at Waco in 1925. Not since these princess revues have been staged has the decision of the judges met with such popular disapproval as was the case here last week, and many are arguing that, instead of being styled as a "princess revue," the event should be termed as a "style show." The princemer is not in a position to discuss the decision of the judges in the recent princess revue here, but this paper does know that judges should be chosen because of their peculiar fitness to serve as arbiters in such events, and not because they hold certain offices, either in the local courts or the grand court. It might be better hereafter to select judges who have no particular connection with the Pythians or Calantheans, but rather persons who know how to judge and rate the contestants on the main points which decide the winner in these annual events. Prizes and contests always leave a sour taste in the mouths of the losers and their supporters, yet when entering such contests it should be borne in mind that only one person is expected to win, and in fact the mechanical impossibility for fifteen or twenty princesses to be awarded the first prize as "Pythian queen," in such a contest. Digressing a bit, it might be pertinent to remark just here that some local lodges and courts are pursuing the wrong course in selecting their princesses, choosing as local princess the woman or girl who can raise the highest amount of money in the local elimination contests, without regard to her character and social standing. Many women and girls of queenly bearing and character will not consent to enter into such financial competition with women and girls of questionable reputation, whose connections and activities make it possible for them to obtain large sums of money in these local contests. Of the process revue is a splendid one and should be perpetrated, but unless some radical changes are made in the manner in which local princesses are chosen and the method of judging and rating the entries at the annual revue, it will be increasingly difficult to get the type of women and girls to enter this event so imperative for its success and perpetuation. WHERE IS OUR FUTURE MAN-POWER? When one observes the large number of colored girls and the paucity of boys graduating from our high schools and colleges, if said observant is serious and has ever given the matter consideration, he is forced to inquire as to the race's future with such a shortage of potential man-power of the proper type. While it is true that no race can rise higher than its women, it is true that no race can rise higher than its men; and colored parents are able well to give this critical situation due thought and consideration. Where will these girls, graduates of high schools and colleges, find the type of husbands with which to toke equally upon the matrimonial sea? What parents want to spend years of labor and expend large sums of money to provide an education for their daughter, and then see this girl become the wife of some trifling, good-for-nothing fellow, whose conception of life is diametrically at variance with that of his female mate. In these columns, our race is not giving the proper amount of sober thought and earnest attention to matters of vital importance affecting our racial growth, development and progress, and we are fastly developing a one-sided, rather than a symmetrical race. It is perfectly all right to educate our girls, but it is all wrong to educate our girls and give them the highest type of intellectual development and educational training, and then permit our boys to drop out of school as soon as most of them can obtain a job and earn a small livelihood in a mental capacity. But if respecting woman or girl wants to marry a man who is her inferior, we must teach her much few outstanding young men worthy of such women and girls as to give those interested in the future of our group much concern. Truly here is an alarming situation which should engross the time and attention of every black man and woman; for too many of our male youths and young men seem to be devoting their careers to superficial and ephemeral things, caring naught for nor giving any concern to the elements and fundamentals of race building—sober thinking and right living. OPINIONS POLITICAL CONFUSION BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. In the language of Jesse Faucett, "there is confusion." Never before has the past eight or ten years had been such a complexity of political economy been such a complexity of political conditions. The cross classifications cut across all of the old standards which the American people in to political parties. There is but one issue which has been the most important of the North, West, and South, and that is the uniting with the Democratic South for the past eight or ten years has frustrated the political and economic pro-immigration forces. The future portends great trouble. My fokes, my fokes, Gus is er nite. What I has in mine is dat awful axerdint dat happened ter de Odd Fellers Timpul on las' Saddy, w'en dat shed over de sidewalk fell down an kilt dat po' hline omun, dat allus set roum dere an axed fer ams.

There is but one issue which entails complete political union between the State and the Republic, a national attitude of the race problem. As the two parties approach union of the State, the State will coalesce. Aside from the traditional attitude of the Republican party on the race question, which has caused the State to be the most criminant between existing parties. The Republican party, as such is doomed unless it keeps alive this issue. Already, William Jennings Bryan has been an incarnate national victory by an appearance on the issue of free silver. He was the first president to twice threaten the Grand Old Party by independent action on the issue of morality or morals in threatening the far West. Yu no, Gus, its turribul how my fokes kin stretch dere blankit w'en inmything lack dat tucks place. It jis aint in dere nachure ter tell er thing lack it happens.

This new alignment will not take place in the present campaign.

For the first time in the history of Houston, one of the daily newspapers (the Houston Chronicle) carried a full page advertisement of the Texas Pythians and Calantheans, under date of Sunday, June 3, with the caption "A Million Dollar Organization," giving the combined assets and resources of the two bodies at $1,172,829.94, a gain over 1927 of $112,457.52. Of this huge amount, the sum of $674,157.35 represents cash money in several Texas banks, the remainder representing bonds, mortgage loans and other properties. Led by Mrs. F. K.

Atlanta, Ga.—Dr. John Ho pe, president Morouse College, made announcement at the close of commencement exercises, June 7, that the General Education Board of New York City has offered to the college the sum of $300,000 toward an endowment fund. The offer is a conditional one, and depends upon the raising of an equal amount by the institution within a time limit of three years. The total sum is to form an endowment for the support of the faculty. During its sixty-one years of existence and growth, Morouse College has been noted for its training in leadership and character, made possible by an unusually strong—though comparatively small—Christian faculty. Under the guidance of such teachers, the college has set on a significant�ulace, the leader of the religious, business, educational and social life of the Negro. Today the presidents of 10 Negro colleges are graduates of Morouse College, and four of these head land-graders are of the state, supported by institutions. Many of the race's strongest and most helpful ministers claim the college as their alma mater, as do scores of business men, professional men and social workers. With an enlarged faculty, the possiblement of the greater. With it, the influence for good upon Negro youth, and ultimately upon the race as a whole—for the college now numbers among its student body representatives of almost every state in the nation—will be more widely felt. The college is fortunate in having on its board of trustees, vitally interested in its welfare, such prominent and publicly active men as Dr. Carter Helm Jones, chairman of the board; Dr. E. R. Carter of Georgia, secretary of the board; Dr. Frederick Lent of New York, president of Elmira College; F. S. Etheridge of Georgia; Rev. James B. Adams of New York; Dr. Avery A. Shaw of Ohio; W. B.

Cohen's faction lost the contest before theele�, but the committee of the Republican party, the committee of the Republican party, was not to be sent through the magnanimity of fewய்raes at the age of 18. The Committeeman Emil Kuntz, and the president of the government of the port of New Orleans, was going to be the part of New Orleans's Association Secretary Hoover and had instructed his delegation to oppose the nomination of Hoover. It was reported that Kuntz's election was the first time he was with Hoover and this made it necessary for Cohen to seek another candidate. Leaders who declare that the seat- ing of Kuntz faction is not a turn to the lily-whites, as the Kuntz faction has several Negroes in its number, among whom are some of the most prominent Negroes of Louisiana. They also predict that the old war- honors of the party will be in the support among the "home folks" due to the report that he refused to take part in the organization of the Civilian Association of the city.

The beautiful individual, the most famous fact that the colored race spends the maximum amount of money on funerals and the minimum amount on graveyards. Love for the dear deceased extends to the time of burial but is seems to cease after sepuration. In social more than in an individual area the graveyard is a situation containing our city of care and the upkeep of its resting place. This is, I believe, the estate promoters to awhist individual Negro graveyards are decorated in a little or no demand that the burying grounds as a whole be properly laid out and kept up according to the cottages of the cannons of the landscape grazing. This neglect can not be due to financial support. A Negro If we are to judge by the delapitation of Negro graveyards in all parts of the country, the prospect would indeed be a gloomy one. The Negro graveyard is all but wholly a segregated institution. The individual Negro cannot so easily find beautiful accommodations in death, as in life, by finding location in a white community. A good friend of mine, longing to escape the jim crow spirit after death, picked out, while living, burial accommodations in a Boston cemetery where, at that time, there was no racial separation in death. Born in Virginia, spending his whole life in a segregated environment, he sought escape at last by fore planning his sepulture in the burying ground of the free. But such instances are exceptional and unique. The Negro ordinarily cannot escape the environment of his race, not even in death. I asked an undertaker the other day, if to his knowledge there was a white ground in the District of Columbia which was as delapidated and disreputable in general appearance as the best of the Negro burying grounds. His response was that after traversing the whole area he was not able to cite a single exception to the general rule. The other day I was visited by the white promoters of a new Negro museum, and they asked their new burying field, undertaken as a commercial venture, to provide the colored people of the capital with a burial ground for the body when we shall have laid down this heavy load. This field was laid in the white race. At the most conspicuous moment of the ginning skill. It fell no whit behind the best adorned burying grounds for the white race. At the most conspicuous moment the remains of the late Judge Terrell, unplanted from his grave, Contrasted with the Negro cemeteries this new field looks like a park contrasted to a field of graves. A colored citizen of Washington feels much indisposed to die because of the unsightly surroundings in which he was buried. P. Cook, along with the rest of our local and national celebrities, lie along with the meek and lowly in these unnatural places. I went to the funeral of a Catholic bishop, whose universal church buries all of her descendants although the Negro dead are assigned to aggregated sections. This burying ground is every nook and corner is decorated with treen, shrubbery, and the capitol's beautiful park. On the way out I saw graveyards. Part of the fence was of wooden pickets broken and irregular to the shabbiness, the iron section was made of weeds and brushes obtruded their shaggy heads among the white tombstones. Weeds and brushes there are no regular walks or footpaths. In inclement weather one begs conveyance to take the last look at the body. Although this particular graveyard has conspicuous and naturally beautiful spots about the district, yet there is set off its natural beauty. No landscape engineer has practiced his art stories and monuments seem ridiculously out of place by virtue of their here. The beautiful individual tomb setting and surroundings. The thing that most amazes me is that the colored citizens who themselves must shortly lie here seem wholly unconcerned or unconscious about the lack of care and the upkeep of their final resting place. This is, I believe, the first public utterance on this inartistic situation containing our city of the dead. It was reserved for white real estate promoters to arouse the one hundred thousand highly intellectual and cultured citizens of the national capital to the possibilities of beautiful burying grounds. This neglect can not be due to lack of financial support. A Negro graveyard is the best patronized real estate venture in any community. A fixed charge can be imposed, if necessary for perpetual unkeep. What I have said about Washington is more or less true about every city where we live, and it is everywhere for a beautiful Negro graveyard. The universal answer to my question is that we will this reproach remain true? A graveyard is regarded as among the beauty spots of a city. Wailors are the people who work in which the community takes civic pride, and could think of taking a visitor to a Negro graveyard, except that he was possibly interested in some, one buried. Is it that the Negro has not yet developed a public improvement? Is the Negro graveyard an index to what the Negro would do if left to the city's public improvement and beautification after his cities after the name fashion, if he ordered cities? Will he not learn about the beauty and beauty in the arrangement and regulation of public projects? The Negro would race to try his hand at what it can be in manipulating important public facilities. Here is a task of the ministers who function so largely in this field. What would be the reflections on the Negro graveyard? CALIF. GOVERNOR WILL WELCOME NATIONAL ASS'N New York City - (ANP) —Governor C. C. Young of California has accepted a formal invitation to welcome the 19th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Los Angeles, and the National Management permit he will speak at meeting in the Los Angeles Civic Auditorium on Sunday, July 1. "I am very much interested in your work," writes Governor Young, "and if I can evidence this by coming to your meeting shall be only too glad to do." According to telegraph reports from Dr. H. C. Hudson and J. C. Banks of the Los Angeles branch, the University of California Station K H J, having a wave length of 399.8 meters, to broadcast the proceedings of this Sunday mass meet at the University of California, to be Arthur B.

YOUNG ATHLETE SHOWS STAMINA IN RECENT RACE YOUNG ATHLETE SHOWS STAMINA IN RECENT RACE New York City, (ANP) - Tobie Joseph, a nine-year Nigerian high school boy of Los Angeles, Cal., was one of the fifty-five runners to arrive in the transcontinental footrace that ended at Madison Square Garden on Saturday evening, May 26, in the cored in history. The remarkable feat of this Negro lnd has just been brought to light, and it reveals one of the most thrilling stories of dwarf, the man who has come to the attention of the writer. I was a superhuman task for a mere lnd not accounted to such hardships he was to encounter on such an untaintable adventure. To such hardships he was not accounted could not make him squint. When the 199 runners started from Los Angeles on March 4, and for 84 lnd he took note of the little, Negro lnd he then left to Los Angeles he was told to follow along the route Tobie was told to quit, but he gave no heed to such advice. He was on an important mission, and he was not in danger. It was a nobile impulse that moved to enter the race. He has an insistence that I wanted to do something to aid his father, and it occurred to him to enter the race. Perhaps it would perhaps it would be possible to earn money to help his father. It was this impulse that moved Table to start on the race, and nothing could turn him from it.

JACKSON BACKS WILLIS FOR BIG FRATERNAL POST Editor The Houston Informer: The grand lodge of the Colored Knights of Thyssus, jurisdiction of Texas, has been held on Monday, June 4, and adjourned Friday, June 8, was the greatest session of the Pythian grand lodge ever held in Texas. The reports of the grand officers show, our numerical and financial increase has continued constantly in an arithmetical progression. Our matchless grand chancellor, W. S. Willis—a prodigy in fraternialism, a wizard in business, a mystic in conspiracy, and a man throughout the 18th century on his own genius in staging and in executing the well-defined plans of the grand lodge just adjourned. The affection and endurance with which he is held in the hearts of the Texans is throughout the 18th century, the broad limits of Texas, and paralleled by any wrathfulness whose convention has been held in Texas. With his wife or against her, he is a supreme chancellor for supreme chancellor at the biennial session convening in Indianapolis, India. It is my opinion, from the vast number of communications being received every section of the supreme jurisdiction to the supreme chancellorship is a matter of fact; and his election will be from destructive building programmes now under the supervision of the supreme administration from bungling policies, as well as from destructive building programmes now under the supervision of the proud heritage of Past Supreme Chancellor Sam Starks to a warring passion of passion and blotted with shame. Willis has a host of friends everywhere who long to see him wield the sceptre of righteous power and of warring passion the highest official in the Pythian world. It is my belief that his election is as certain as an assured sunrise, rising the cliffs and peaks of lofty mountain ranges. A. S. JACKSON, Waco, Texas.
