ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE. ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS HOUSTON NEGROES SEEK BALLOT IN LOCAL DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY 5 PRICE CENTS VOLUME X HOUS THE MIRROR Some of our pastors are too loud, noisy and bickerers in their pulpit, and the old method of "lifting" collection is to be used to collect a collection table, to march to the collection table, is largely responsible for considerable work of the noise generated when this part of the service is being held. Intelligent pastors should conduct all their religious services in an intelligent manner, and no minister or chaplain shall be allowed to perform the service. No sorrance of the membership by resorting to crude and antequated methods to realize church funds. If the same method of taking collections, which was employed immediately after emancipation, must be used, and the same methods for the lers and attendants to contribute money to the cause, then we have not made very much progress and headway in our religious life and church career. By all means, we urge the pastors of the church to be "courteous" churches to see to it that this irreverent practice is discontinued; and any person who persists in holding a conversation or chewing gum during religious worship, should be asked to leave the church house. \(^{*}\) \(^{*}\) \(^{*}\) \(^{*}\) The Informer is in receipt of two anonymous letters, one telling about a raid made on a certain colored teacher's house and the number of bottles of home brew confiscated by the officers; while the other was in praise of the position taken by this paper recently anstert the Houston bystanders.

This high honor was awarded on November 14 in land, by the Republican state convention meeting here this week.

NORDICS OPPOSE RACE CEMETERY; RESORT TO COURT Momphis, Tenn.—(ANP) More than one hundred whites living at Frayer Station, opposed the location of a cemetery for Neargess near the township, which is four miles from the cemetery, the cemetery would bind business and the frequent coming of Neargess to the village in large numbers would be detrimental on the rights of the white villagers. A petition was submitted by those members of the cemetery committee to the court and to the injuncting straining them from opening the cemetery and a counter petition. The pre-trial hearing them from opening the cemetery rather heated and the court decided to refer the case to the cemetery committee so that no such committee had been appointed. The judge, however, removed this obstacle by appointing a com GARY CITIZENS GIRD TO FIGHT NEGRO SCHOOL GARY CITIZENS GIRD TO FIGHT NEGRO SCHOOL "Gary, Ind., ANAPT," the announcement immediately concludes, "has been the catalyst for the Enervolp School, which is contended to be a colored school, has around the ice of Nerogitos of this city, and they are ready for battle—and a finished fight.

A. A. C. P. Backs Injunction Suit. On Wednesday, July 11, 1928, there was filed here in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, a bill of complaint in which J. B. Grigsby and O. P. DeWalt appeared as complainants, and Guy Harris, as chairman of the Democratic executive committee of Harris County, Texas, and 57 other persons, as members of the Democratic executive committee of Harris County, Texas, and election judges in the voting precincts in which they are now serving as precinct chairmen, appeared as the defendants. The purpose of the suit, as stated in the bill, is to enjoy the defender's promise of ensuring that ruling of the state Democratic executive committee of Texas, passed on the 11th day of June, 1928, which provides that only white Democrats can vote in the state, district and county primaries which are to be held on Saturday, July 28, 1928. The bill alleges that plaintiffs are citizens and residents of Harris County, Texas, and of the United States, and that they are of the Democratic political faith; that the ruling of the state Democratic executive committee excluding them from voting in the primary election to be held on July 28, 1928, violates their constitutional rights guaranteed to them by the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution of the United States; and that the defendants should be enjoined from enforcing the ruling. The case has been set down by Federal Judge J. C. Hutchison, Jr., for hearing Saturday, July 21, 1928, at the court to show cause, if any, they have why the injunction should not be issued as prayed for by plaintiffs. Plaintiffs are represented in the case by Judge R. D. Evans of Waco, a member of the council, was counsel for plaintiffs brought before Judge Charles E. Abe at Houston to enjoin the county committee from excluding Negroes from voting in the Democratic primaries in 1921. At that time a committee was formed to determine the qualifications for voting in primaries to the county executive committee. Judge Abe denied the injunction and the case finally went to the Supreme Court of the United States to dismiss the reason that the question was then most, the election having passed several months. However, in its opinion, the Supreme Court of the United States said in evidence that there as it did in the court of first instance it would present a very grave question of constitutional law, and that it would be aute in finding answers to any obstacles against it. Later, the Texas primary law was passed and that statute, which specifically excluded Negroes from voting in the Democratic primaries, was held unconstitutional in which went up from El Paso. In the course of his opinion Justice Holmes "The statute of Texas in the teeth of the prohibition referred to in the case take part in a primary election, the importance of which we have indicated, discriminating against the same person or same alone. States may do a good deal of classifying that it is difficult to limit limits, and it is too clear for extended argument, that color can affect classification affecting the right set up in this case." After the Supreme Court of the United States handed down the Nixson case, another statute which pursuits to give to the state executive committee the power to fix the qualification One of the qualifications which that committee has fixed is that the voter must be white. In a special interview with an Informer representative, Judge Evans asks, "It also seems to me to clear for extended argument that, if the state legislature cannot make a constitution affecting the right to vote in a primary election, then the legislature cannot delegate to a committee, which is a basis of classification. For it is one of the oldest axioms of the law, that one cannot do himself he himself delegate to an other to do." Judge Evans bristled and said again: "Why, many years ago the Supreme Court of the United States speaking through Justice Harian said, 'Vice President of City of Chicago, 166 U.S. 290.'" "But a state may not, by any of its agencies, disregard the prohibitions of the 18th amendment. Its judicial authorities keep with the letter of the statute codere in the courts and give the parties interested the fullest opportunity it might be that its final decision LAWYER EVANS TO SPEAK HERE ON VOTE FIGHT Judge R. E. Dvans of Ware, counsel for J. B. Grigley and O. P.

All members of the case are urged to present. Judge Evans is a forceful and elegant interlocutor in musical numbers.

With the nomination of Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis as the Republican standard bearers for the campaign of 1926, a class interest here has turned to the active shares of the coming political battle. The announcement by Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican national committee, that the principal headquarters of the campaign would be located here in Washington, has closed a new argue to the situation, accustomed as the faithful have been to having Chicago and New York as the chief centers of activity. The change, however, is entirely to the liking of Washingtonians, every other one of whom has political leanings, for they are in the close proximity of the headquarters an opportunity to be never the seat of action than they have in years. Citrines who enjoy playing their politics in Gotham or the Windy City are not totally�ừicn, however, for it is indicated that both will have plenty of work since it seems apparent that an active campaign is to be waged among colored voters in the pivotal states. This forte was authenticated when Chairman Work in an interview with a representative of the A. N. P. last Wednesday said, "The preliminary arrangements for the campaign will get under way at once although the actual work will not be stared until the last of August. Herbert Hoover, if elected, can be counted upon to be president of all the people, and we expect to call upon every element of our diverse population to aid in rolling up a record vote this fall. The high type of the character who heads our tick-et calls for a high type campaign and we invite and welcome the active cooperation and assistance of the best elements among every group of American citizens. I believe in the old fashioned brand of Republicanism. The colored voter is an integral and valuable part of the party. Headquarters in Washington are ing. Not until the Eastern and western posts for which Senator George W. Bush served, and James W. Good of Chicago, formerly of Iowa, are said to be站立 there.

TUSKEGEE HEARS TEXAS TEACHER IN ABLE SPEECH TUSKEGEE HEARS Business Leaders TEXAS TEACHER Mourn Wilkerson's IN ABLE SPEECH Death At Memphis Tuskegee Inst., Ala.—Independence Day was observed here with a program of music and addresses concluding with a track and field meet in the Alumni Bowl. "American Democracy" was the general theme of the program which was participated in by students and teachers attending the summer school, W. H. Evans, dean of men at Prairie View State College, Prairie View, Texas, delivering the principal address. Mr. Evans is enrolled in the course for training of scoutmasters. Recitations, vocal and instrumental numbers completed the program. The Fourth of July is a day of double significance at Tuskegee Institute, being not only the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, but also the anniversary of the opening of Tuskegee Institute. It was on July 4, 1881, that Booker T. Washington opened, in an abandoned shanty, the first class of the school that has grown to be the far-famed Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Two shares of the track and field meet which closed the exercises included dishes, hurdles, the baseball throw and novelty races. Events were also held for girls. Monday of this week a demonstration in classrooms was given on White Hall campus by the summer school. Women's classes in physical education are under the instruction of Mrs. M. Curtis and Miss Maude M. Morris. Enrolled in the classes are a number of women in elementary and high schools and colleges of the South. Indiana Negroes Watching Ku Klux; Dem Victory Seen Igd a campbell, Ind. - (ANP) The loat of the Indiana plan that it would run the Negroes and Catholics out of Indiana may yet rile to plague it, with 425,000 votes credited to those elements. Conversation by a staff member of A.N.P. in a colored men, in profiter-hoister capital with a number of leadership and business life, revealed that the Negroes were the primary energy in the coming elections to determine the nominees to the best interests of the people. Such men as Attorney Cornelius Bickramon, an outstanding lawyer and activist, after Robert Bakewell, after Robert Bakewell, and Brooke Bickramon, P. R. Ransom, general manager of the Forest Litchfield Company, Fernwood Forest Litchfield, all were unanimous in their declaration that the rights of Negroes in the Forest Litchfield company "However will carry Litchfield," was a medication by political informants, but the Democratic state ticket plan has lost much of its power and, but it still was able to dominate the last Republican primary. The Catholic vote will decide the issue." Homer G. Phillips, president of the association, spent day here last week. A Business Leaders Mourn Wilkerson's Death At Memphis Memphis, Tenn.—(A NP)—Telegrams of condolence and sympathy from the leading business men of the Negro race poured into the home of Mrs. Wayman Wilkerson, wife of the prominent business man and fraternal leader who committed suicide here last week. The suicide of Mr. Wilkerson has not only startled Memphis but the entire nation, as he was known as a man of high ambition and never knew what defeat was. He had been a successful man, and while it is believed that his connection with the failure of the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank had something to do with his deed, his friends have expressed the opinion that he could have "staged a comeback." That Mr. Wilkerson felt otherwise is indicated by the following message he wrote to the head of his coat when his body was discovered by the night watchman of the TriState Casket Company building in New York, who apologized for a crushed, nerves shattered, ambition gone, health falling—the attached clipping to his shirt, the clipping officer took as well as the "advantages of a career should be measured not by what it offers at 30, but what it lifes at 60, 60 after." If satisfaction in life hinges on one thing more than another, it is that yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today. When it falls out of the downgrade and know it—when they have to live on memories and remain connected to people they can do as well—much less better than they have—life loses its thrill. Both Races Offer Race Woman Blood In South Carolina Columbia, S. C.—(ANP)—Race prejudice was forgotten here Monday when it was announced by the authorities of the Columbia Hospital that blood transfusion was necessary to save the life of Miss Kena Anderson, a 16-year-old member of both races gathered at the hospital offering the necessary blood. After trying the blood of several individuals, Miss Helen Ford, a coli transfusion nurse, said the transfusion made. While it was not certain that the sick woman's life would be saved, the action on the part of the doctors has been pronounced as most encouraging to those interested in the races and Miss Ford has been proclaimed a real heroine. The Miss Ford successfully effected the blood transfusion suffered no ill effects. When she left the hospital she told the physicians that if necessary she would save the life of the stricken woman.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER REFUTES CHARGE CALLED "NIGGER CHURCH OPPOSED LOVER," WOMAN RACE DELEGATES SEEKS DAMAGES Howard, Davis, Hawkins, Booie, Williams voted to Seat Louisiana "Lily-Whites" in G. O. P. Convention, but Not "Bob" Church. To the Editor: In the June 30 issue of the Baltimore Afro-American, there appears a story written by William N. Jones, under the column headed "Day By Day" that story the following is taken: "The big surprise, however, came to the great body of young men and women who have been hopeful that they saw a Moor in the church of the Church of Memphis, Tennessee. Even this stalwart fight, who had been many victorious encounters with lily-whism in Tennessee, was allied with the public concerned, when they crucified the Cohen organization in Louisiana politics. The purpose of this letter is to get Mr. Jones straight as to the attitude of the public in the public invocie- Bob Church knew as well as all of the colored leaders in Kansas City that the fight against Cohen and McDonald was purely a lil'white-witch exercise more effort to win, or thick, exerted head by these two men seated than Bob Church. The fact of the matter is, that Church was neither a member of the national committee, nor a member of the committee on credentials, and therefore had no vote to cast. But he certainly was outspoken in his efforts to get his friends on the committees to vote for Cohen and McDonald. It will be recalled that a minority report came before the convention on Monday to show that Bob Church not only voted himself to seat the McDonald delegation, but also the members of the Tennessee delegation (all white), to vote with him. He was withstanding Mr. Jones' article, that on the national committee there were four colored members: Howard and William of Georgia, and all four of these votes were cast against Cohen and the committee, there were two colored members: Howard of Mississippi and William of Georgia, and both of these votes were cast against Cohen and McDonald. In the minority report of the committee on credence to only the McDonald and those two votes were cast by Bob Church and Walter Cohen. Our group need never have any doubt as to where Bob Church stands on all cylinders all of the votes are at stake, for we will find him hitting on all cylinders all of the greatest asset we have as a political leader.

One of the features of the meeting was the adoption of a new and more extensive program in which was encouched the establishment of an industrial school fund. A committee was appointed to begin work immediately and if the efforts are crowded with success, Arkansas will boast of one of the finest institutions in the Southern states. The attendance was by far the largest in the history of the association and the delegates were very enthusiastic over the new program adopted by the organization. Seventy dollars was collected for the national headquarters fund and more was promised. To meet the present conditions the constitution was revised and real work is expected for the ensuing year.

The management had had the good dancer given Miss LaRade a dance also in the second act no body would have found fault with theurturance. As it was, she was in the second act, which is tribute enough for any dancer.

RUTHERPORD, president, National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Washington, D. C., recently issued a stirring appeal for the support of Negro business enterprises, and in behalf of a concentrated drive for Negro business development. "Every Negro in America," said Mr. Rutherford, "should have a tremendous stake in building up a great financial reservoir representing the Negro capital of the United States. The lives of his children and his children are vitally concerned in a proper guardianship of this reservoir of capital. This financial reservoir is the citadel of Negro commercial progress, and in its protection and strengthening lies our hope as a race to obtain for ourselves—and those to follow us—the splendor of equal opportunity and higher standards of living and attainment. Against all invaders, over nearly three decades, the National Benefit has held every branch, repels the ever-attack, kept against this stronghold of the race. As the largest and strongest Negro enterprises, as the greatest Negro financial institution on earth—the post is ours by right as well as by choice. "If the Negroes of the United States will stand by Negro businesses, it is not to be an enterprise; if they will do business with Negro enterprises, it is when they have insurance, they will insure in Negro companies, the future of our race is definitely secure. It is by this sign that we shall conquer—racially, commercially, everlasting!" Homely Philosophy By Georgia Douglass Johnson THINKING IN A CIRCLE What can be more futile than thinking in a circle? To go round heart and mind, page like a squirrel; repeating the same phrases, making the same weak affirmatives and then doing the same thing over and over again. The only cure is to dash out suddenly, break away, do something different and then one is able to take breath and move out into new spaces. Are you in a vicious circle? Are you driven or inadvised, so break away suddenly, absolutely as when one steps out into the cold and bracing waves at the seashore.

I believe in your integrity, and know you must be one of God's chosen, else the worst would have befallen you are now. But you should not be so radical in your judgment of others' acts as to so thoroughly contest them as base and unethical and expect the whole world to be conquered by your dictates and point of view. The human race is made up of men and women with different ideas and temperatures, just as conscientious and pure as yours and it takes all together to make up the world as God intended it to be. We, as a people, must be put to the test. I, for one, take the Lowly Nazarend as my example. He accepted all conditions offered him—whatever trial, whatever suffering, whatever humiliation. But in so much of God's love and power over all mankind. We who are earnest doing. He made manifest the greatly striving to help the world join in brotherly love must make a study, not only of our shortcomings, but also those of the other races. We will have to lay aside personal pride and enter into every avenue of being a member of the party, it be in the slums or palaces, the caged reservations the highest seat of being a member of the party and humanity, as well as to learn this great lesson was to be learned at this Democratic National Convention: To see the bitter strife being played out in the party as coalescent as the Democrat by the more sober minded; to ally the more spiritless race and party at the verge of splice and party at the verge of account of individual opinion, most abused of all the amendments.

Sharp At Sam Houston Convention Hall HARRIS COUNTY RACE FARMERS SHOW PROGRESS (By S. B. WILLIAMS) Reporters, like soldiers, must be willing to obey orders of their superiors, and that without question. So, on Tuesday when we were ordered by the chief of the staff to accompany County Farm Agent L. C. Luper and H. S. Estelle, district farm agent, on a tour of inspection of the farms in and around Piney Point and Addicks, two communities thickly populated with colored farmers there was nothing to do but play the part of a good soldier. Putting our trusty weapon, which in this case was a brand new lead pencil, in our pocket, and taking up our belt a notch or two, we mounted our martial steed, which happened to be one of Henry Ford's model "Timousine"s of the vintage of "22 and hired away to what the denizens of Milam Street are wont to call "the sticks." With us, in the lounge we were, besides Messas, Laper and Estered; C, the lawyer G. O. Barge, and our attorney G. O. Barge, and our route was out the Westheimer Road, near the town of Burlington, just a few weeks ago, Harris County's decorative lynching was staged; the victim was O. P. DeWalt; the victim was the Lovington community, to our first stop, which was at the home of Will Wiltshire, at the home of the owner owning about 30 acres of black land, is working 75 acres of land owned by J. H. Mitchell, another colored farm. It was at the Mitchell farm that we made our first crop inspection, and it was also here that we found it was very good. We had for a week the orders, we had forgotten to don our farmers' togs, and since on the day previous, a heavy rain had fallen, we experienced some difficulty in keeping up with the others in the party. However, we had already informed the members of the party that we were a practical farmer, and regardless of the ten or more pounds of sticky black mud, which we were carrying on each pedal extremity, we succeeded in keeping within hailing distance, and managed to gather a few cabbages and tomatoes on the trip and still be in at the windup when a picture of the entire group was taken standing in the midst of as fine looking a patch of corn as we ever remember seeing in all our experience as a practical farmer. The Whitings have been about 75 acres of cotton, a good garden, a pen full of hogs, chickens, and a watermelon patch of no mean size which, owing to the mud, we were unable to inspect, much to our disappointment. Our next step was at the home of H. Mitchell, a real home, with all the amenities city residence. The first thing we ought our eye as we drove up was the brand new Cadillac 8, and later we saw far back in the yard, was who appeared to be about thirty years old, owned a acres of my property, digged hogs, cows, chickens, and has five tenants occupying tenant houses. Mr. Mitchell, we will be remembered, was among the lucky citizens of Liberty County who found oil, some of which we had to add that Mr. Mitchell's crop of melons was too green for the marigold we noted our second disappointment. From the Mitchell farm, we hit the once grazed road for the Addicks on Pine Point, where we actually counted two stores and a filling station. We will we came to the home of El Reqoemenco, our headquarters for the city. As we were expected, several farmers had assembled at the Requeim farm to discuss topics on the crops in their immediate neighborhood. In this meeting, we discussed the colored farmers owning their own farms and cooperating together in farming, and what real good these farm demonstrators or agents are doing the same. We were told that no less than ten farmers in this settlement who own their land, from 25 acres up to 125 acres, and imagined that we told us that seven years ago, when the first farm agent, L. G. Luper, colored farmer owning a single acre of land, it was here, we also told them that implements was sady in need of replaces, as we tried to name the different implements stored away in the barns. Requeim has built to house his farming implements. Another feather of the same kind, we have always heard our colored farmers condemned for their utter lack of with which they make their lives It was about noon when we began our tramp, tramp, tramp across rows of agriculturalists described as one of the best cotton, and truck crops.

W. L. Dickson, Gilmer, president and founder of the Dickson Colored Orphanage and an avowed Democrat of several years standing, was in town for a discussion with the interview while here that he favored the Negroes supporting the national Democratic ticket this year, citing Governor Alfred E. Smith's friendly attitude. Rev. Dickson is one of the original Al Smith men of Texas, and states that he is going to organize a bloc of colored voters in Texas to support and advocate for the state. Among some of the statements made by the Gilmer-Dallas minister were: He colored people now with a splendid opportunity to win friends for the race by supporting Governor Al Smith, and Senator Joseph R. Kennedy for presidency. Governor Smith has repeatedly demonstrated his friendship with the black community, but it has always been done in ways and along lines that would not "Leaders of the farm belt say that the only thing which the Republican party offers is a renewal of brokering ties," he held out the hope of a federal antitrust bill if Harding were elected. He was elected by a 7,000,000 plurality, and he was lynching. A similar hope was held out when President Coolidge was a candidate. He was elected by a 7,533,000 plurality, yet no bill was passed. "The Republicans may charge the些 bills to the Democrats. I hold that they have defeated. We can best have that matter handed by the states. It may be done without doing great harm in other ways. Moreover, the Republicans who hold the bill are outnumbered by 7,000,000; it is plain to me that they (the Democrats) are not outnumbered." NEGRO WOMAN DELIVERS FINE TALK TO WHITES NEGRO WOMAN DELIVERS FINE TALK TO WHITES Greenbear, N. C.—(ANP)—One of the most unique contributions made by any Negro in the country is that made by Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, as leader, lecturer and the "race's exhibit of a woman of rare culture" to the large groups of people from New England and the West Indies at the Woman's Missionary Conference held at Moody's great school for ten days in July of each year.

The Republicans have an excellent opportunity to carry Texas, is the belief of Leonard Withington, state executive secretary. The Republicans are not going to conduct their campaign in any halfway point, but will bid for all offices and vigorously carry on their campaign, Withington. Among the outstanding men from whom it is likely that a candidate for governor will be named are: Dr. Robert B. C. Zwerfel of Fort Worth, T. P. Lee of Houston and Arthur Reinhold of Dallas. There is also a possibility, Republican leaders pointed out, that Orville C. Bullington of Wichita Falls will be a candidate for the United States The Republican party will hold its precinct convention Saturday, July 28. At that time precinct chairmen will be held on Saturday, August 4, when the county conventions will be held on Saturday, August 4, when the county conventions delegates will also be named to the state convention to be held on Saturday, August 4. At the Fort Worth meeting the full state ticket will be named. A platform will be adopted, state chairman elected and 31 members of the board elected. NEGRO LEADERS TO BE PICKED TO HEAD CAMPAIGN NEGRO LEADERS TO BE PICKED TO HEAD CAMPAIGN Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—Numerous lighting rods have been thrust into the political ether by leaders of many descriptions throughout the country in the hope that there may be the one favored when the bolt is launched. The chairman of the Republican national committee has given no indication of whom he will select to be his assistant in directing the campaign work among colored voters and those who claim to know are predicting that it will be the middle of July before a selection is made. Dr. Work is said to be desirous of enlisting the services of a high type personnel. Among those said to have ambitions for the post are, John R. Hawkins of Washington, financial secretary of A. M. E. Church, president of the Prudential Bank, and a delegate to the recent Republican National Convention, where he enjoyed the honor of seconding the nomination of the Candidate Herbert Hoover. Finley Wilson, exalted ruler of the Elks; Alderman Thomas Fleming of Cleveland, Ohio; and Homer G. Phillips of St. Louis, president of the National Negro Bar Association are among others said to be in a receptive model. It is conceded that Perry W. Howard, special assistant U.S. attorney general and national committee from Mississippi, will have an active part in the contest by virtue of the fact that the national committee, which he is the only colored male member since the Georgia contest is in statu quo, has been declared a campaign committee. Mr. Howard, who has seen service in many campaigns as an effective and sought after speaker, is expected to play a definite part in the effort this fall. Mrs. George S. Williams, who will serve as the last word in patronage matters in Georgia acting as committeeman, as well as woman, until the dispute over the seat in that state is settled, and Mrs. Mary C. B ooz, a national committeewoman from Mississippi, likewise are expected in the effort to run a landslide Republican vote.

Democrat held here recently, Democrat who have announced that they are going to support the candidacy of Herbert Hoover, the Republican nominee, were threatened with being read out of the Democratic party meeting in the fall, the condition would mean the breaking down of Southern traditions which include jim-crowm. Much stress was placed on the elimination of segregation in the South. Hoover as secretary and his persistence in granting Negroes representation National Committeeman Jed C. Adams of this city led the attack on the “Hoover Democrats” and declared: “Those who decline to vote the Democratic ticket will find themselves going into the party which has always been the enemy and oppressor of them.” He was very well-known to be very well-known to be very much beareer saw fit to issue an order requiring that whites and blacks in his department should occupy the same desks. “If the Republican party remains in power under existing conditions a sufficient length of time, the great question which will agitate the minds of the people, at least of the South, in the meaning of being so well as to be when he’s jiv-crow laws shall be repealed whether pro-hibition of the inter-marriage between the races shall be repealed; in a word, I want to say to the Democrats of Texas, that in a little while it is entirely possible that there will be no color line drawn as far as your public schools are cont- tend the public schools, will attend only those where black and white alike are entitled by law to come.” While there was no reaction noticed at the time of the meeting, it is believed that this warning will cause many to turn to Smith, as Southern whites are not willing to have their offspring pit their scholarship against those of Negro lineage and partagate as they are without law by lynching the “racial parity” of the South would be eradicated. Red Cross Assists Volcano Victims; Thousands In Need Red Cross Assists Volcano Victims; Thousands In Need Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—The American Red Cross notified the Philippine Islands chapter at Manila by naval wireless that $5,000 had been forwarded today to assist in the emergency relief work of the chapter in the region devastated by eruptions from the volcano Mayon. Charles H. Forster, manager of the Philippine Islands chapter, today wirelessed from Manila as follows: “Eruption Mayon volcano creating refugee problem. Towns at base abandoned through panic. Homeless estimated now 10,000 and increasing hourly. Chapter relief workers now in affected area. Concentration points for refugees organized. U.S. Army cooperating by furnishing tents and equipment. The region is thickly settled.” John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, wirelessed to Mr. Forster in reply: "Deepest sympathy Mayon volcano eruption. American Red Cross has allotted $5,000 for emergency assistance." The fiscal year of the American Red Cross ended June 30, and this appropriation for assistance to the stricken Filipinos was the first disaster relief by the Red Cross in its new year. CHOIR CONTEST PROMISES TO BE STELLAR EVENT M A few days ago the big, new San Houston Convention Hall was filled with the crowds of democracy, listening to bursts of artistry and political discussions. Friday night, August 15, the concert was held with melody and song of a gigantic choir, when twelve picked choruses from the leading Negro churches of Houston will present a big program of saturations and melodies. The twelve choris will sing two spirituals each in competition. They will be judged by five of the musical critics in the city of Houston. Points Of The Contest The points of the contest are: (1) Conception of the work performed, (interpretation, expression, phrasing, rythm), 35 points; (2) quality of the performance, pitch, pitch, 25 points; (4) attack and release, 10 points; (5) stage appearance and deportment, 10 points; total 100 points. There will be four silver loving cups representing first, second, third, and fourth prizes, given to the winning chairs. Similar Event At Dallas A similar affair was held in the Fair Park Auditorium, Dallas, Texas and drew a wonderful crowd. The program was said to be the finest presented by our group in the city. The winner of the contest here will swing at the State Fair, Negro Day for the championship of the state. Tenors To Contest There has been quite a bit of rivalry among the tenors since the arrival of George Jones, California's greatest tenor, who has issued a challenge to both Leroy Byrd and Dr. Herbert C. Blanks, and their successors are making a decision as to which is the best chair in Houston, Menses. Byrd, Blanks and Jones will be fighted by popular applauds.

The Republican and Democratic convictions have met and adjourned. I attended both assemblies by rank. The literature in at a distance of three miles at a time was a great resource for the looker at close range. The objectives of the two convictions were identical, namely, to declare the platform of principles for the approaching campaign and to select the standard bearers. The methods of procedure were also identical. The types of organization were the same, the number and nature of the candidates for office; their procedures were regulated by the same parliamentary rules. The problems confronting the two contending parties possessed essential differences. The Republican party was split two ways, the Democratic party was divided into two separate parallels. The industrial and agricultural interests, the wets and dry mets controlled by the North and South, the Protestants and Catholics met at Houston. Combat camps. When opposing parties equally determined and equally meet their objectives, either compromise or destruction for one or the other of the conflicting parties will occur. The far more skillful manipulators. The while proceedings were dictated and cunning. The more hidden hand. The knowing ones say that this miserable mind and cunning York, danced to the rhythm of the radio in competition at the force of the music. A shrewd newspaper observer revered that the Democrats can only add that they added that Al Smith, a worker of miracles. In indeed, his political cunning that that and the wide range of party affiliation in the party, he certainly must be called to wonder wonders. The Demo into hopeless plumbing in Garden four years ago, operated in a unit and magnificent was his trait. He was a man of great grass and inharmonious parts were unified into harmony and conceived in the mind of the magnificent minister in conduct. What manner of man in this Al Smith that even the discordances of the Democratic party obeyed. The keenest interest centered around the prohibition plants in both conventions was all but identical words in evasion of all but identical issues in evasion of this great moral issue. The two most important words in reaffirming their basic belief in the enforcement of the constitution is "in the interest of the public." In particular, so far as the documentary difference is concerned and both instances here is the widest room for reservation. Indeed, in the third instance, the low level was stipulated in the discussion, though not shown in the bond, being advised of his nomination on the platform, flashed back immediate to the prohibition plant without re-encountering that his name to enforce the law as written does not commit him to abstinence as to what he considers desirable and widely known views. The two conventions consider similar laws. A CITY OF CITY wave like hair to the effect, and other ingredients used in home cooking. In cases of this kind her loss is limited and more easily overloaded. In addition, she is always used alone, but is always used for its added health value and appetizing flavor. It is also known for its strength, quality and purity above all. This is why we have always made Puritan Malt Extract a quality product, and it has been used but the finest (Mississippi No. 1) is used. Substances such as cinnamon, cocoa, nut oil, barley syrup, cane sugar, or barley syrup have been used in the manufacture of Puritan Malt Extract from the finest (Mississippi No. 1) imported Boleman hops with a blend of the finest Punica cactus hops. The base of the finest hard grown insures absolute uniformity and purity in every can, which is a product made of many different grains of varying grades. It is the lowest in grade under grain insures. Puritan Malt Extract's unmatched strength, flavor and purity has therefore made it the choice of the finest cakes. It is the lowest in grade under grain insures annually—making it the biggest seller—the most popular brand in the Furthermore, this phenomenal sales have been accomplished without the help of the customers to the customer.

"In the first place, 35th Street is the first through street running east and west which is south of the loop. The second through street running west and north which is north of the points in the city. Tens of thousands of workers are compelled to pass this corrier daily on their way to and from their places of employment on the West Side and in the Loop. That is a natural advantage to commercial enterprises located here. Then, 400, 35th Street will become the direct route between the New Zoological Gardens being erected on Western Avenue and the West Side of the Loop. Then, 400, 35th Street will become World's Fair grounds, consisting of seven hundred acres, at their front door. persecution has been limited mainly to administrative affairs without declared views on broad national and international questions. It is also remarkably presidential candidates respective floor leaders on the Republican and Democratic sides of the United States senate. As I asat through the proceedings I could discover no real difference between the two candidates, except the mere corporeal presence of Negro delegates at the one meeting, the slight difference in deliberation proceeded as if the Negro did not exist. They seemed both to be the slightest intention of including the slightest amount of attention of awaiting intention to safeguard the rights of the Negro. The alignment of the race during the campaign must depend mainly upon the apprehension of the purpose of the campaign—Herbert Hoover and Alfred S. Smith. The candidates constitute their self, believe in prohibition as the chief moral issue, have no likelihood of choice. Smith's attitude is destructive. The one would fulfill; the other would deviate to a better instrument through which to effect temperance than its Democratic Throughout the Kansas City deliberations one did not bear a single material value. But to my utter surprise it was reserved to Judge Craig of Georgia in nominating him to the position that there have been two great moral issues before the American nation and slavery and the other predation. He declared that the Democratic party was deflected on the slavery question and that he was not advocating of a moral issue. But to redeem the Republican party from class materialism, he advocated him of his nomination calling the party's and the nation's attention to the importance of stress on all he has been said and we must not to however to redeem the Grand nomination and the general just as the Democrats are looking to AI Smith to gainance the democratic core into life. Colored Craftsmen Organized Forces "Our business and professional men were forced to leave this neighborhood for the same reasons that the tenants did. Their rent were increased and the property was sold. The tenants who they rented was allowed to go unearned for until they were forced to seek more suitable locations. Lack of adequate fire, theft, and damage protection caused the better class of retail institutions to seek other neighborhood tenants. The business will be changed. The new 335 SL Arcade Building will provide for the business men of this district as a fine home and as adequate facilities as they will find anywhere. Structurally and architecturally it is the finest office building in the city." Chicago, IL—(HAP) The National Engineers, Architects, Chemists and Professional Technicians was organized here when a group of representatives of these crafts met in invitation of Charles D. Bibb Jr. Department. "It is a fireproof structure which can be polled from the inside. By it, we can fine offices and store spaces at rentals which are as low or low as the building's rent. We can also provide security to any, I am confident that both business and professional men will soon find 516th and South State streets the most desirable location in the quintree." The detached came from various institutions, used for university, university, university, University and Chicago, and from the principal institution. The group included an inspection tour of the various building and engineering facilities of the city and a round table discussion of the city and a round table discussion. Thus do we see what foretakes leads to in the creation of one of the finest buildings owned by colored people in America. Chicago should be justly proud of Mr. Binga. But not alone have the colored people of this city a sense of pride in their culture, and should serve as an inspiration and an example to the youth of the nation. Charles S. Duke was elected president of the newly formed organization and Professor E. R. W. Eickle of University was designated secretary. Thirty-6th Street and South State Street of Chicago may grow to un- limited size, but the city is a beacon of hope to the colored race, and proof of its ability to accom- pany its needs.

On the northwest corner of 32th and State streets, is rising a majestic structure of stone and concrete which towers above all other buildings in the neighborhood and bears mute testimony to the belief of a pioneer builder in the future growth and prosperity of the vicinity. This building is one of the most famous commercial buildings of commercial movements in Chicago's famous South Side, known more widely as the "Black Belt." In this man colored people of Chicago have a leader of sound business judgment, vision and aggressiveness. It was, therefore, directly to him that the writer turned in an endeavor to find what causes were leading experienced business men to make such heavy investments that required to be mentioned above which Chicago's Street Arcade Building. 807 PRAIRIE AVENUE PHONES; PRESTON 4752 8866 HOUSTON, TEXAS Seated at his desk in the president's simply but impressively furnished office on the mezzanine floor of the Binga State Bank, an institution with resources of more than $2,000,000, Mr. Binga insisted to the writer a history of the institution, which he had grown up to make Chicago the mecca of colored enterprise; he mentioned the small beginning and gradual rise of his own institution; he paid a word of tribute to the men who had fought to make Chicago a decent place for all citizens to live in. As he talked he visualized to me a city that would be a place of great beauty. Then he drew a picture of a whole community depopulated, devitalized, and given over to the worst elements of a city's population; its building unblock; its inhabitants faced with poverty, its streets infested with vice.

Tay. 566 "All this movement southward was started by a group of uncurious white real estate dealers. It began before the Chicago race riots and some of them are still up to their nefarious tricks. This is the way they operate. First, they get all the white tenants in a neighborhood to sign up not to sell to colored people, and get them to buy the real estate. The very dealers who started the propaganda sells to a colored man. The whites are then urged to sell cheaply and go into exclusive new neighborhoods and subdivisions. These uncurious dealers buy the property in themselves and recall it at unheard of prices of colored people. Thus by constant agitation they move colored people into new neighborhoods and make millions of dollars for themselves. Since these dealers never try to keep the property they own or manage in good condition, they are forced to search of better flats and the owners are kept refinancing or losing out.

Tenantless houses and vacant stores have brought much of this property back into the hands of its original owners. And these are the people who will ultimately recline the South Side. "Thousands of people who have moved far southward are going to move back into this neighborhood. Men and women who want to be near their neighbors are going to move back into this district along the tracks and northward is developed. Albert Pick & Company, and a number of large employers of colored labor, have already relocated their plants in this district. As this district expands, thousands of people who want to move back into this district will migrate to Chicago and repopulate the near South Side.

Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoofful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method.

Mississippi Adventures (Continued From Last Issue) If you should make a visit to the White Mississippi it is wise to inform his wife and his wife would inform you that the white Mississippi is the white whites have made Princess what the white people of his town to see the advantage of helping to support his white Mississippi, together with his wife, speaking before he grows larger and for receiving support, and for receiving support. Although About Agricultural and Relief Rowan is president, is supported by the state in increasing measure that the young men of a white Mississippi. The building of the Young Men's Christian Association is structured from funds given by a white woman of that city. It is the finest building in the South, and compares favorably with the Rosewood building in the North. There is no gainaying the fact that white Northern philanthropy is, however, there have come in. In its piece, the Negro is concerned, the by-products of Northern investment. Missing the Negro is concerned, the state, it is full of lumber, and that industry flourishes (from several to be the largest in the world) at Laurel. A Northern capitalist has invested millions of dollars in the school at Laurel and said to be the largest in the world that abandons it in that region. As one capitalist did at DL, this Northern at Laurel has built two schools that are Negroes, thousands of them. Laurel is being built in the city, and Negroes are good houses, schools, and so forth. It is intended that these thousands of Negroes of that事物 shall be satisfied something to look forward to in life. For sometime an apprentice has been hired at Laurel, and has built the school at Prentis, to come over to Laurel and take charge of the development of the education of the Negroes that has built a program that does not depend upon begging for funds. It hinders it, and they will be used because it is felt that whatever is done to lift these Negroes will yield returns. Tongaulo College is one of the schools of the American Missionary School, a private college system with Atlanta University and Tallahassee College. In many respects it is the most representative school in the region. The campus is large, well-equipped and beautiful. Above all, it is clean, so clean that it is easy to observe the nature of the grounds, buildings and students, a cleanliness that is reflected in the Frank and fine manner of the buildings. Perhaps, outside the excellent new academic building and the new Sarah E. Boddle museum, the object at Toulouse is the president's home. Rev. William Trumbull buryed Mississippi by Negroes. Him is the most imposting of any of these new institution mansions which are now being built in the city. The mansion at Prentiss is more than one hundred years old, the one at the University of Alabama, the mansion at Prentiss is more than some quite ornate with their carved wood tracings and lighting appurtenances. It is said to have been built by the Jesuits, a rich young planter, named John Boddle. Boddle was in love with a girl her for a wife, but she, accustomed to the aristocracy and social life of the Jesuits, was sent to Mississippi to him unless be built a home for her so tall that she could move from her distant, from the top floor. Boddle the mansion as she demanded, for her to marry a named, him. Nobody yet knows exactly why, but three reasons are given in the book narrated by Principal Holmes. The first reason is that Boddle was a swearing man. The second reason is that Boddle had only three hundred shades to marry him, so three shades told that Boddle was not sure she are. They may be that the house was not home of Mr. and Mrs. John Boddle. N. Y.

The editor of The Informer is in receipt of a communication from L. F. Coles, 833 Leland Street, Philadelphia, Penn., which states the following: "I have read with a great deal of pleasure the writeup in the Pittsburgh Courier on some of the trariedes which you have had to undergo, and Floyd J. Calvin, who wrote the articles, has assured me that you are a persistent, fearless and indeterminate champion of human rights, and especially the rights of your people. For this "However, I am chagrined to learn that you are trying to apologize in your editorial, which appeared in the current issue of The Informer, for the attitude of the Negro delegates in Kansas City, who were present at the convention in Kansas City, in not seating the Negro delegates from your state. How can you support Hoover after having made a statement that you are acquainted with the facts with reference to the segregated departments in the Department of Commerce, which Hoover has winked at for seven years, and that he is not interested in the N.H. Thomas, the stalwart gladiator, who fought him until he floored him; consequently, there was nothing else for him to do. In view of these facts, it is necessary to deceive the people as to Hoover's goodness. The supreme wizard of the Ku Klux Klan has said on several occasions in some of the leading magazines, that Hoover is friendly to the Negro delegates, and that he is not tried to refute this. Arthur Brishean said that the only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is that the Democrat is the spare tire to the Republican automobile. Undoubtedly, our Philadelphia frater did not read our editorial at which he takes umbrage, understandingly; for we made no effort or attempt to apologize for or justify the action and attitude of the Hoover forces in seating, largely, delegations which were friendly and favorable to the commerce secretary's candidacy for presidential nomination by the Republican National Convention. We did say that some of the Southern contestants really had no case, as they did not begin to build up their cases at the precinct conventions or mass rallies in Texas, and when then the anti-Hoover forces got to the state convention, and withdrew from the regular convention, their bolting faction did not represent sufficient votes to have changed the overwhelming sentiment for Hoover. The Informer was the pioneer in a statewide movement to get the black Texans back into the regular fold of the Republican party in this state, and to get them back in the race on March 24, at Dallas, where plans were laid and a program outlined for the Negroes to regain some of their lost partisan ground. Only in a few instances did the Texas Negroes pursue the policy adopted at the statewide parley; and to be perfectly frank and candid, the Texas Negroes, on the whole, did not manifest much interest in the issue of race until they off their noses to spite their faces, when they opposed the leading presidential aspirant merely because the Republican national committee from Texas had previously announced his support of Mr. Hoover. There is an old adage which states that "all is fair in love, war and politics"; and the Hoover forces, judging from newspaper reports and statements made by members of the faction, have not taken any action to sealing delegations which were supporting other presidential aspirants and "favorite sons." The Informer did not then and is not now trying to justify or apologize for such procedure, but this paper wonders if the majority of the American office-seekers and their supporters would have pursued a similar policy? The credentials committee and the convention proper, wasn't it a matter of political self-preservation to take nothing for granted and make safe and sure the nomination of their candidate? Isn't this the political system of America, in both major parties? By and by, the Smith forces engineer the same kind of stunts in their Houston convention, and didn't see to it that Governor Smith, like Mr. Hoover, was nominated on the first ballot? The Informer holds no brief for Mr. Hoover and his partisan supporters, but if the American Negro wants to be consistent by refusing to remain with a political party because of such party affiliation, he will be forced to abandon them if he has absolutely no partisan connection with any political party of any consequence in this country. Things often go wrong in home and church, as well as in state, but no honest and faithful man is going to desert his home, nor can he take his religions belief merely because certain things were desired or not meet his unequivocal approval and unqualified endorsement. Granting that the Hoover supporters did not treat the Dixie Republicans right at Kansas City, what about the white Southern Republicans, who were opposing Mr. Hoover's nomination, and were left out in the cold with the black opponents? He was refused a convention seat, yet he stated after his defeat that he would support the party. As between the Republican party and Mr. Hoover in control of the national government and the Democratic party and Governor Smith holding the governmental reins, backed by elements and blocs not only unfamiliar to the black race. The Influence Act of 1960 would force Mr. Hoover to act and done, there is little, if any, sentiment in business and politics. We appreciate Mr. Cole's communication and the frank manner in which he states his side of the issue, yet our former editorial was more of an explanation of rather than apology for the tactics resorted to by the Hoyer forces in settling the majority of Southern contests in the past. That some of the South's leaders really did not have much to entangle and consciously predicate a contest—for many legal flights are lost before appellate courts because the case is not properly handled and presented before the court of original jurisdiction. A reversal or defeat does not always indicate that the loser was or is wrong, but is often due to the manner in which one's legal counsel built up and argues the case; and it must be borne in mind that the court's committee is composed of the country's most outstanding and eminent civil and constitutional lawyers and authorities! Coming from a resident of the Keystone State, where such partisan politics is played for all it is worth, Mr. Coles' letter is both interesting and amusing; but we shall not enter into any controversy with him regarding his or our views. Apparently, he will support Governor Smith's mongrel party, or go hunting on Tuesday, November 6, 1928. BIG MAN NEEDED AS G. O. P. NOMINEE! Some weeks ago The Informer, in an editorial, endorsed Hon. T. P. Lee of Houston, well-known leader and business man, for nomination by the Texas Republicans as a candidate for governor of the state. As the time is approaching for the state convention, which will nominate a full Republican state ticket, this paper wishes to again cite attention to the fitness and qualifications of this distinguished governor of West Virginia and a Republican all his days, Mr. Lee is not a prominent member of this political party, but he is one of the real big men in Texas and the great Southwest. Even the Democratic party of Texas, which is nationally recognized as the banner Democratic state, can not offer to the electorate of this state a gubernatorial candidate who is superior to Mr. Lee, taken from all angles. Strictly speaking, Mr. Lee, like Nominee Hoover, is not a politician, but he is a very successful and substantial business man, a student of political economy and he has forged his way to the presidency, determination, persistence, and other attributes which are contributing factors in the success of any man. Mr. Lee is not a neer-do-well and misfit, who aspires to public office for its emoluments and trimming; for he has never sought public office, and even now he is not in any receptive mood for the gubernatorial nomination by the Texas Republican party. He is the type of man the party should conscript for this duty and service, and if he is chosen for this post, his party loyalty does not matter, and he will permit him to decline the nomination, in the Informer's opinion. Furthermore, the Republican leaders in this state, if they want to heal some of the wounds caused by the intra-partisan conflict waged prior to the national convention of the party and make a commendable showing in November, can not select another candidate. With the Democrats having nominated as presidential stand-bearer a candidate rather repulsive to Texas Democrats; and since Governor Dan Moody, the erstwhile champion of the dry cause and supposed bitter oponent of any wet presidential candidate by the donkey party, has alienated many of his former supporters by his failure to "carry on" at the Houston convention, he will not be able to hold the poll an exceedingly large vote in the November general election. Dispatches in the daily newspapers of the state have mentioned several men as being considered the Republican leaders for the gubernatorial nomination, but of all the men mentioned, or of all who might be cited, can non-surpass Mr. Lee. The Republican leaders of the Mr. Lee will not make any fight for the nomination, but the Republicans of Texas should begin now to organize Lee-for-governor clubs, and send delegates to the Fort Worth convention next month determined to nominate this stalwart Republican for governor of the Lone Star State. With such a strong man as Mr. Hower heading the national candidate, the Republican leaders of Texas will permit to a questionable, a fine chance to poll a large vote for their gubernatorial candidate, if they fail or refuse to nominate Hon. T. P. Lee of Houston as their candidate for governor. The Informer's support and advocacy of Mr. Lee is not prompted by the fact that he is a resident of Houston, nor because this editor is personally acquainted with the local oil magnate, but with problems and political issues. Mr. Lee is both a prominent and big man, there being quite a difference between prominence and bigness. Many persons are prominent who are not big of heart and soul, and likewise many persons are big who are not prominent. Prominence is the popular acclaim, acquired and often unearned; while bigness is innate and inherent and is manifested by man's dealing with his fellowmen and his contributions to the society. HON. T. P. LEE of Houston, who "fits the bill" perfectly, is the Informer's candidate for nomination by the Texas Republican party as candidate for governor. Let's make it unanimous! RIFT IN DEMOCRATIC RANKS With the Democratic presidential nomination of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York and protege of Tammany Hall, as well as advocate of constitutional nullification and communicant of the Roman Catholic Church, many of the Southern Democrats are finding themselves in a rather embarrassing situation, and frequently several outstanding Dixie leaders have announced their intention of "bolting" the party, as far as the presidential nominee is concerned. Governor Smith and the Democratic South have very little in common, and notwithstanding the fact that both are classed as being Democratic, the presidential nominee does not represent the majority of the manner the accepted notions, ideas and ideals of Dixie Democrats. The Democratic South is dry and Protestant, and has a deep-seated prejudice against Tammany Hall, the Catholic church and the Negro race; while Governor Smith possesses divergent and opposite views on all these issues and matters. He has adopted the withheld act and the eighteenth amendment; while the Democratic State governor holds that same should be modified considerably or repealed in its entirety. Very few Southern votes were cast for Governor Smith at the Houston convention, even when it was apparent that he was going to land the nomination without any stiff opposition; and even some of the Democratic leaders, who were delegates at the re-election convention, were not held to the Blazer the bloc, now find themselves trying to keep up their courage by whistling and explaining as they near the political cemetery and partisan graveyard. No party composed of such divergent views and discordant elements can hope to inspire the confidence and beget the supporter to vote for them. The failure of any divided house is inevitable, whether in church or state. According to newspaper articles, Democratic "bolters" will be plentiful in the South this year, but many hold to the opinion that most of these threatened "bolters" will be found voting the ticket straight at the general election in November. The Democratic Party has said that there is a rift in Democratic ranks in the South over Governor Smith's nomination, and just how soon and how well this breach will be healed remains to be seen; but The Informer imagines that it will be embarrassing for the dry and Protestant South to accept, support and vote for a Catholic and wet for president of the United States of America! Here is a paradoxical political situation with which the Democratic party confronted before, and it will be indeed interesting to observe Dicie's reaction to a presidential candidate who is the very antithesis of Southern conception of democracy and religion. Races Cement Ties At Funeral of Drummer BY IRENE DAVIDSON The Houston Post-Dispatch: "His white foliar," tears dimming their eyes as the dirt fell softly, a new-made grave, paid their tribute of affection and respect in true Southern fashion to a beloved old Negro Sun afternoon, when the last mortal dancer of the troubadour drummer of the Houston Light Guard were tenderly held to rest in a little colored cemetery just off Shupphee drums carved down white cheeks and black alike in the little cemetery, where through the big trees and shadows across the wet grass, where hundreds of feet trapped softly down the grass, where the flower-laden casket. "Man that is born of woman is of man," said John Sesumnum but the years of John Sesumnum number 78, and the years of his friend number 81, were born from the white faces lifter stealthily above the crown. Dr. Wylie Sesumnum, the last ritual for the dead Sunday in that little cemetery, are numb A few minutes before the long cortege lined itself for blocks at the entrance to the burial ground, a crowd estimated at between 1500 and 2000 people filled the little chapel at Dan and Phillips undertaking parlors crowded the yard and the street in front. Crowd Overflows It had been intended to hold the service in the chapel, but the crowds outside was much greater than the inside that the Dr. Jacob stood the porch. When he asked among the colored women, in a low tone, if someone could sing, "Nearer, My God to Thee" to open the services, a score of voices slipped into the song, and were joined after the first phrase by the hundreds in the yard and the fire of the fireplace. The way for the white friends of the old drummer and dozens of these gathered close to the porch, where the members of the old Houston Light Guard gray with years themselves, formed a guard for the passage of the casket. Dr. Jacobs, his own eyes wet, made a profound, unimpressive talk to the members of both rivers as they crowded and close to the house beneath him taking advantage of the demonstration of love and respect from white friends and black alike for old John Sessums to urge a better recognition of the ties and friendship existing between the two races, and of the fundamental loyalty each has for the other or when an occasion arises to prove it. A steady murmur of "Yen, sir," That's right, sir, followed his remission. He then reached every heart in the assemblage. **His Life a Sermon** "No greater sermon could be preached than the life of old John Seekewan, wonder thinking of it, if John would not himself be willing for me to pause and colored alike to the fact that the most friendly, may sincere, and genuine relations may exist between members of different races, could be more than that regard the white people of Houston had for John Seekewan. "What it is possible to have achieved in this instance, and in this friendship, could be always possible, than that regard the white people of the beloved old Negro, that white and colored alike learn a lesson, that are a thousand, five thousand, ten thousand white men in Houston today want for a thing he has desired. The Light Guard themselves have in his life, yet to old a man's mutual love and help is only a sample of what all right thinking people "I want to say here to the white people: I hope the attitude toward all of the white people will be sustained as the attitude of all the white people toward our colorism." To the colored people: Seldom will be unwilling to do his part in a friendship this. Let us, over the hier of John Seumsa, shake hands and pledge our commitment to renew friendship and loyalty. We can't pass this milestone without the friendship of John Seumsa." The life, the influence, the memory and the friendship of John Seumsa." The membership of the veteran association of the Houston Light Guard, bore the challenge to the waiting hearse at the casket. The grave. The remainder of the association members were honorary palliums in the passage of the casket. The active member E. A. Hutson, Louis Schulz, Cabeen Blake, and A. Bry. During the wait at the undertaking parlor for the services to begin, and at the grave while the earth was beaten, he met the friend of the drummer guitarist in little groups to talk of him. It was in one of these that the proposal was made and warmly seconded by the memory of Old John be put in the Crowd Overflows His Life a Sermon Plan Memorial OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings Light Guard armory, at Carline and the other side, will be put to his wrist drum among the permanent trophies in the armory, and that it shall remain silent not forever.

The election had taken place during the day, when this battling divine force had to be handled by a Houston minister, but he waited until the shades of light, when the night session was adjourning to a meeting of the president, who prepared at his "unfroaking." While no police, affair was made in the incident, it is to be regretted that he was not able to lose his head and forget himself as to endure to physically injure an officer. As the latter served as presiding officer, by popular selection, when the former was endured in a race for office. As it happened, the pugnacious preacher, why didn't seek out all persons who voted in the election, why didn't pungrue the preacher, why didn't pick out this small and veteran minister as his target the object of the attack.

Self-restraint is one of the prerequisite attributes for any leader, a minister of the gospel of peace, or a diagnoist of the church, or a diagnoist stunt as this pungent preacher, he brings diagnoise upon both himself, his denomination and we believe that churchmen should be principled, but such fighters should be armed with weapons and carminal instruments, with the two-sided edge of truth.
