There is a power in the colored people of the United States that either has not been discerned or, if discerned, has not been harnessed for practical use. Present Civilization Declining "The present civilization has about spent itself. Humanity is on the verge of tremendous civilization, just beginning of human progress is to take, in now back where it was when civilization started, and conquered gentleness and conquered leadership. It is not beyond belief that out of the brown races of the world, over half of them have been engaged in leadership. It is not beyond interest. I take it, in the face and theories that crowd outworn major activities off the face of human experience and supplant it with the more powerful, social moral and political.

In reviewing our lives we find that we ourselves have been our own tangles and makes that no skill can allow us to discover the cause of misfortune and failure, let us first look critically inward. We are generally more willing to be frank than to be secret, but let us be frank with ourselves at least and beware of ourselves.

The room is also a beautiful background for it. This silver originally made to please the sumptuous taste of the Medicis and Bordeaux is generally known as Florentine. Equally imposing and almost as magnificent in a different way was the original setting of the deur of the court of Louis XIV of France, of which many reproductions interest today. This deur is seen today. This silver, likewise, needs an elaborate setting and is more suitable for a paneled and brown villa than for the ordinary suburban home. This Louis XV silver, on the other hand which has gayety and richness rather than impressive dignity, is in the best of taste for the majority of the French. The reign of Louis XV in France corresponded with what is known as Middle Georgian period in England, to be seen in the blue of both countries during the eighteenth century, to be seen in the pearlwhite and Sheraton in furniture, Wedgewood in pottery and the Adan architects and interior decorators. Our own American Colonial silver was a modification of European design from models which the colonists had fashioned, beautifully molded, devoid of the high relief work, response changing from silver of former periods, Middle Ages to silver of former periods, Middle Ages. THE SOUTH'S GREATEST VALUE Frankli 415 MAIN STREET JUSTON'S THRIFT ST TWO DAY OF OUR GIGANT LAR S arment in St $ HARLEM CABARET PATRONS PINCHED New York City—(ANP)—P-For dancers and ten patrons of the Pullman's night of Marks' rendezvous on Monday morning following a raid of the cafe Sunday night by police. The cafe, a few miles north of Negroes, has two rentals and coats, and the performers, charged with disorderly conduct because of indifference, are trained to serve thirty days in the workhouse. The prisoners were Frank Matthews, white, of St. Augustine, Florida, who informed the magistrate that he and his wife were out alumnae for the court-mandated mood for excuses and the fine was imposed on the Southern whites. The inspiration for the majority of designer today. Because of its pure classic lines and restrained decoration—largely engraving or flat charm—this work is merely a beveled edge—this is the silver which finds a suitable backdrop for well-appointed American homes. Some jewelers and decorators use other classifications than these, grouping everything from Queen Elizabeth II to the 19th century and everything thereafter as Georgian. However, it should be remembranced that the Georgian style much more ford in design than its chaste ancestors, gradually merging into the Victorian period with its flamboyant style.

By O. P. DEWALT It appears that the year 1928 will go down in history as being revolutionary, so far more so than a "mocratic convention." Holding a national convention in Houston was only one of a series of precedents which led to the establishment of the game. The determination of the policy of the Democratic party has shifted to the North East and West. The party has also lacked of characteristic principles and prejudices to hold. The determination of the country are coming to tolerate this combination of inconsistencies; hence the "stronghold of democracy" is beginning to be taken as a sign of the country is overburdened with the problems of prohibition enforcement, religious in tolerance and Negro disfranchisement. The ideals are in imminent danger of being shattered. No wonder, then, that the party has without a ruder-reaction has brought it face to face with all of its major force. Let us note that the Many white people question the sincerity of the Negro's Democratic ascendancy. They sense have taught us that we can accomplish more by cutting our land, interacting with the people among whom we live, by participating in the government that controls our fortunes and that we are not affected by the same forces. So we no reason why we should be affected by the Negro.

This part of the program is always very interesting and every city in which these big concerts have been put on the people take great pride in entering their best. The management in charge of this concert will bring three tenors into competition, one of them being a selection made by Houston's colored congregations, another coming from the state of Illinois, and the other from Texas. Levy Byrd, who is known in this city as Houston's favorite tenor, has many friends and has been studying for a long time with a very prominent musician. This one is one of the leading tenors of the well-known Coleridge-Taylor Choral Choir. Local music lovers will be sure to give him plenty of applause when he appears in competition with The state of Illinois will be represented by Dr. Herbert C. Blanks, a longtime resident of several years and has given many song recitals throughout the Southern states and has always been well revered. Dr. Herbert Houston has heard the doctor on several occasions and he also has a follo- ward. The other tenister is George W. Jones, who recently came to Houston from the Pacific Coast, bringing with him a collection of songs. Mr. Jones was a pupil of John W. McKenzie of Oakland, California, and his work appeared as a contest for tenor soloist honors in Dallas and Fort Worth, as well as in many cities where he has made many friends among music lovers by singing at various specially arranged programs. The tenor contest, which usually concludes the evening's entertainment, will be held at the Houston winners being selected from the amount of applause received by each winner.

HOLEY (For The Associated Negro Press) I attended the Republican National Convention as an onlooker. The convention itself was a marvel of parliamentary procedure, but the our folks left me somewhat disturbed by the status of the Negro in the Republican party set-up. The principal headquarters for Hoover, Lowden, Curtin and Watson were all located in the Baltimore area, where interesting to stand in the hallway is an onlooker contrast in apparent purpose as between the whites and the Negroes. The whites were busy lusting from each other, exchanging cordial greetings, or pausing momentarily to program or some mysterious object to "Ogden" or "Chen" or "Roy." We were evidently doing something which we were not doing. On the other hand, our folks stood in small groups talking in low, monotonous walks or walked glances at some burrying white man or trying to oversee some passing Always our people appeared to be just out on the fringe of things. On the other hand, we were our group—and some of them political leaders—address a white man, who said the white man say, impatiently, what you now see. You will have to see me later, and then he was gone. We were stood in the hallway of the Hower headquarters and whispered, "Say, Down at the Street Hotel, where the Negroes stopped, there was a great deal parlaying and a load of money in the nomination was going. Also, there was no end of discussion about the nomination among Negroes. The main topic of conversation, however, was the Negroes' campaign of the Republican campaign." A dozen cannuces were called by as many candidates and each in turn turned questioning. This plan of questioning fattened. For several days after leaving the Negroes' picture of the Negroes posited the position meted me and kept on suggesting some memory of the dim and murky So effective were the preconvention activities of the farmers that they were able to weave their weary hours endeavoring to frame a plank for the platform which would be a guava strategist like Samantha Cole, the convention chairman, prevented a riotos stampede for the farmers. Frank Murphy's stirring appeal for the farmers to report of the committee. In Herbert Hoover, the Republican party has a threat to the Negro in the political life of the Negro a friend who is unharmed by petty prejudices. Through the Negro has an unusual opportunity to place in the political life of the country. The opportunity must be met by men and women of our race whose character, standing, and unselfishness will merit for them a voice in the convention. In the first table, a leadership can prevent the humiliating spectacle of drum-stick caucuses and "big-gate" councils such as were had at Kansas City.

MONEY-SAVING HOSPITAL AID OFFERED CITY Slaughter Tells of Proposal To Help Which Mayor Turned Down ECONOMICAL PLAN Negro Institution In Need of More Patients, Jeff Davis More Room The Houston Press: The cost per day per patient at Jefferson Davis Hospital is $2.75. The actual day to day cost will vary, it is pointed out, but the year- around cost is $199. vital, it is pointed out, but the year-round average was $2.75 in 1927. Dr. J. W. Slaughter, Houston civic things, among many other things, has been the official committee of the Houston Negro Hospital, has offered care to care for the poor, and has come to Jefferson Davin Hospital at a cost to the city of $2 per day per person. This would be pointed out, a saving to the city of 75 cents per day per patient, release many day per patient, release for white patients, and place patients in a more friendly hospital environment—but the offer was Borders on Desperate "The medical profession of Hou- recognizes the emergency condition that borders upon the desperate," Dr. Slaughter, "Of course, more beds are needed, more beds than can improve our needs now being planned." "Out there on Elgin Avenue and Eminis Street we have one of the fa- clees that we need to be cleared." "It's staff and management are efficient, and its equipment is of these that seem logical to me to need patients out there and Jefferson Davis Hospital is seriously overwhelmed so we seem logical to me to turn the charity patients to over the Negro hospital, which was provided when it could be done at a saving to the city and at the same time for provide something of an income for the Relieve Congestion "When I made the offer to the nurse to take the Negro patients off the hospital at a rate of $2 per day per patient, it was done with no purpose, but the congregation at Jefferson Davis in the emergency that all of Houston recognize. Yet the offer was why? "Why? The mayor said he feared we were not in a position properly to care for the patients; the cost appeared too low, although we are caring for pay for care. "I told the mayor of the plaza of the advisory committee to recognize the nurses with a group of white physicians and surgeons, some of the finest and most dedicated, naming their services just as the medical staff at Jefferson Davis Hospital. "We have the organization. The staff of white doctors is ready on a moment's notice to function in the service at the Negro hospital. The services are empty, the beds are empty, while the overcrowded condition goes on at Jefferson." "This is difficult to understand," Dionne Negro said about the Negro patient's need to be happier in their own hospital, among their own people. And each charity had 75 cents a day to the city while they held the Negro Hospital was erected in memory of Leventhan Negro, a 75-cent donor to the American Negro, to improve good citizenship and for the relief of suffering, sickness and disease. The city of Houston provided a block in the center of the Third Ward, a Negro section of the city, amounting to 2,600 apart from the first apartment made available $80,000 and the erection of the first unit was completed. More Units Planned "The founder," Dr. Slaight said, "regarded his gift as only the first step in the process of creating an adequate, well-equipped capital for the Negro race and which would at the same time be an instrument for the Negro race and a center for health education. "Until the hospital can be placed on a permanent basis, $200 per year will be required of the community Chest and the city is obligated by contract to help it." "Now," he said, "the Negro hospital, fully capable of doing so, offers to save money for the city, of which it is the only one, the requirements of a city-county hospital to take in its Negro charity, and the city refuses the offer." "It is difficult to understand." CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL The Pilgrim Congregational Church, Rev. J. I. Donaldson, pastor, is concurring with the congregation's recreational school, with aphid success, according to the report of the pastor, who is much elated over the success of the community is being helped through this medium of religious education and moral direction. The pastor, Dr. Fred First and Mrs. E. O. Smith, is head of the work and many games are the laughter of the congregation but has just returned from the Tuscaloosa-Minnesota conference of young people at New Iberia, La. to reports a great meeting of the work.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERHEAVEN. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN WOULD RECEIVE LESS - ROOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1928 SMITH AND THE CONSTITUTION Why, the solid South pays no more attention to the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and even the nineteenth (woman suffrage) amendment, than if they were not part of the organic law of the republic! The Democratic party, dominated by the constitution-nullifying South, is restored to national power; and if Mr. Smith, as president in his objective towards repealing or modifying the Volstead act, it would be long before Dixie solos in congress would begin a section, if not a national, campaign to repeal or modify other constitutional amendments! The American Negro should not deceive himself in this matter, for any party which forsakes a moral principle, and resorts to mere political expedition as a means to a desired end, is not worthy of the support of men who place principles above party and national interests. The fact that Governor Smith, the Democratic presidential nominee, is a Catholic, should not enter into the equation; for in a democratic social order a man has the inherent and God-evident right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and no religious test should be applied to any man who aspires to public office. The president should for such a high elective office as president enters the race with the avowed and announced intention of tampering with and nullifying one of the constitutional amendments, even though he is honest, candid and brutally frank in his position. The Informer holds that the permanency and perpetuity of American ideals and institutions make it imperative that such a candidate be defeated, regardless of partisan affiliations. The president should violate and ignore the Holy Writ, yet this is no sane, rational or logical reason why certain provisions of the Bible should be altered, revised or repealed. Men in countless numbers break the civil and criminal laws of the state and nation, yet who would advocate the modification or repeal of such laws which are society's only safeguards because they are not legally enforceable. Because men steal, fight and kill, should we consider changing the laws to meet the personal likes of these violators of the law? The law is set up as a standard or goal, to which the citizens strive, and their failure to come up fully to all requirements is no longer a reason for them to refuse to observe should be repealed or radically modified? The American constitution and its amendments have stood the assaults and ravages of time, and it will be quite unfortunate for this country when public officials begin to tamper with and modify certain constitutional amendments to meet their personal needs. Being against any policy which has for its objective the repeal, modification or even tampering with any constitutional amendment. The Informer can not support Governor Smith and his mongrel party; and this paper, of the original Hoover supporters will be found backing and pushing the cause of this high-class individual who would not aspire to office by this country over to the liquor interests, and by meddling with the basic laws of the republic. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS EXCITED! The announcement that one of the local white lawyers, who is an active member of the Houston Commission on Interracial Cooperation, has been retained as legal counsel in the court battle to keep Houston blacks out of the Democratic party primary The Houston Informer elections, brings up a very pertinent question regarding the functions and activities of the commission for interracial amity and goodwill. The Informer has often contended that the voteless man is voiceless, and that where an American citizen exercises his elective franchise rights without let or hindrance, said citizen has at his disposal the only weapon necessary for safeguarding, protesting and enjoying his full and unrestricted constitutional rights. This local injunction suit is being pushed by two colored members of the Houston Commission on Interracial Cooperation, and now one of the white members of the same body will resort to every means at his command to deny his fellow-members their inherent and constitutional rights as American citizens. In addition to this, the mayor of Houston, who is not the mayor of one political party, but all the citizens without regard to partisan connections, is reported to have offered the city's legal staff to the local Democratic leaders in the court fight to American electors and Houston citizens out of a partisan primary election. The Informer registers no objection to this white attorney accepting the case for the Democrats in this injunction suit, for that is his prerogative as a legal practitioner; but this paper fears that his efforts along this line will play no small part in injuring and hampering the work of the local commission. This much is sure and certain: Some of the colored members of the commission and many of the colored citizens of the city and state will look rather suspiciously upon his future efforts for the election, such relations will never become a reality until the Negro race comes into possession of its full rights under the American constitution. This is a constitutional issue and not merely a race question; for the action of the Democratic executive committee, in attempting to exclude Negroes from participation in the primary elections held by the party, is merely another Southern subterranean and negative the constitutional rights and pre-legitatives of American citizens solely and wholly on the grounds of color and race. Judging from the excitement and activity so prevalent in local Democratic circles as a result of this civil suit, one would think that a "black menace" is hovering over the city hall, court house and state capitol; that Nordic civilization is tottering; that the Negro's color forever disqualifies him as a fit subject for membership; and that Nordic civilization is tottering. The backwardness of the South today, in a large measure, is due to its persistent and determined efforts to keep the Negro down; and as long as the Negro is kept down and denied his constitutional rights, just so long will the South remain down; for no man or race can keep another man or race down, unless he or it remains down with the man or race being held down. This is as true politically, morally, economically, educationally and physically, is physically, and the indicting finger has long since inscribed the man or race wall: "Thou art weighed in the balance and art found wanting." The pity and tragedy of the entire faction is that the stubborn and sullen South is still trying to employ nineteenth century methods to cope with twentieth century problems and issues, unmindful of the transition and metamorphosis in the interim. (Editor's note: Since indicting this editorial, the local law firm, which this white interracial commissioner is a member, has refused to indict the ballot case here, due to the published statement that the party executive committee had no funds with which to fight the case.) FEDERAL PATRONAGE INQUIRY The senatorial investigation of the alleged sale of federal offices in the states of Georgia and Mississippi, now under way, has all the earmarks of designing and well-planned politics; and, if this inquiry is not carried into other states of the South, where the same practice is reported to be the vogue, it will appear as if the senatorial investigation of the party leaders in these two states than at the practice itself. It must be borne in mind that Georgia and Mississippi are the only two states in the country which have had colored Republican can national committeemen and committeewomen during the last eight years, and repeated efforts have been made to discredit and dethrone these partisan leaders of color. Far be from The Informer to charge conspiracy or frame-up, but if the federal patronage practices and sale of federal offices in other Dixie states are not investigated by this special senatorial committee, then this paper is perfectly willing to let the reader know that they never attempt to investigate some of the real, rotten conditions obtaining in the South, involving the constitutional rights of American citizens. Why single out Georgia and Mississippi for such an investigation and expose, when this practice is generally followed in all American states, and especially in the South? If this senatorial investigating committee wants to get at the bottom of this practice, and is anxious to know the whole truth regarding the sale of federal offices, suppose they summon some of the national Republican party, who, it is currently rumored, made certain concessions to state party leaders to help take care of the 1920 deficit. The sale of and trafficking in federal offices is no new thing in the United States, for both major political parties have been accused of such practices; and, while The Informer does not attempt to sit in judgment upon the men investigated in Georgia and indicted in Mississippi, this paper only desires to see fairness done in the premises, and is opposed to any inquiry or expose which seeks to make the Negro leaders of the party in these states. While investigating the sale of federal offices in these two Dixes is commonwealths, why doesn't the senate also investigate other practices in the South far more reprehensible and repugnant than the alleged sale of federal positions? Peonage, disfranchisement, proscription, lynching, injustices and inequalities of every conceivable and inconceivable type are as apparent in the South as the nose on one's face, yet the senate winks at and passively condones such practices with a moral cowardice and political indifference that ill become such a supposed fair-minded and austur body. As these lines are being written, newspaper dispatches state that Hon. Perry W. Howard, Republican national committee member from Mississippi and assistant attorney-general of the United States, is one of the colored Republican leaders indicted by a federal judge. He is accused of sale and barter of federal offices, and that he has been collected of his portfolio by the attorney-general of the United States. If this practice has been and is being pursued in Georgia and Mississippi, is it not also reasonable to suspect that other Southern states are not immune and free from such practices? The Informer does not approve of nor condone the sale of federal offices, but if the senate and party leaders break up this practice in Dixie, many of the vest-pocket Republican organizations have been accused of political objection and suspended animation of a partisan nature.

Jesus laid the eternal foundation in the diction, "Render into Catechism what is God to God the things that are God." What about the debatable domain of depleted ownership which lies midway between the two jurisdictions? Should the church keep silence when the state eschews its responsibility for its members as are involved in slavery and prohibition? Does this domain belong to God or Catechism? Or is it under the joint control of the two? Such puzzling questions continue to perplex the human, the politician, and the moralist. The Houston declaration of religious tolerance will probably be handed down as ranking among the greatest religious manifesto of all times since the Reformation. It entangling alliance between the state and any religious organization. It has been widely held that the Catholic church claims ultimate sovereignty over conduct and conscience of people. The Catholic church must be first obeyed in all matters whether sacred or secular. Governing the church must be the presidency merely because he was a communist in the Catholic church Such intolerance and bighyrecreation has been a problem. I would certainly not wish to reflect on the good faith and integrity of the men whom I have listed. They were the best men for their race and church. But history is history. In event of influence with the forces that were to secure the placement of themselves, members of their families or persons of their faith, they were ested. In no instance is breadth of statemanship disclosed. Nor have they promoted the welfare of the church, the clerics, the cleannistics devoted their personal energies to the church this religious endeavor, the present impugressive plight. In a popular government like ours, it is inevitable that any numerous, and often excessive exercise great political weight in the political equation. The Catholicism of the denominations, the best and most efficiently organized. The political action of its membership can be a powerful force and concerted direction. After the Catholics would come the Methodists and the Anglicans of adherents and efficiency of organization. Nor has this great protestant denomination altogether escaped the attention of the Church. The Negro Methodist church has not grown perceptibly during the past 150 years, but it has qualified recruits to fill the vacant positions. It has all but enlisted the younger communicants. These great religious essecs are not only the backbone of or retrograde. Surely this is not time for the leaders to be neglecting the things which belong to God for the benefit of the people. Let us now confine attention to the Negro denominations and the political equation on a moral issue. Preacher and parishioner alike became attached to one political party and to the rate spheres of church and state had to him. At the earlier church the church had to the rate spheres of church and state had to him. At the earlier church through which the masses could be reached by any agency, sacred of the guide, philosopher and friend. The people looked to him for advice and guidance, some considerable care was still remains true. The Negro preacher was abundantly justified no long as he used his influence for the good of the church, not for secular control or profit. But, sad to relate, the Negro preacher has too often been sent to the ministers, were senters, were ministers of the gospel. It is gregarious, and possibly just, the Negro preacher has the only qualified available and, therefore, felt justified in the general good of the race. But know all too well that this has not been the case with the Negro ministers have trafficked in their sacred office for secular advantages. So generally has this been the case with the Negro preacher respects the sacred perogative of the Negro clergy. He does not hesitate to influence among his congregation and among the people. He hires his ministers and engages his services for the ward for office or filthly. This has been done as much perhaps by a cause to discredit the sacred protection of the Negro preacher in the situation of high-minded, intelligent laity. I have said that all which goes be- fore the present campaign the issue is a moral one. Prohibition has to do with people who do not want to be in the Eye for Every Race. Every race minister to use all of the influence he can com- municate to influence the right outcome of prohibition does not belong ex- cept to Cassan. He has at least four joint efforts.
