Roosevelt by, Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson, president of the organization. The chief reason why the popular New York governor does not stand so closely with the president of his alleged friendliness with Negroes and his belief in the equality of all people on the stand on prohibition comes in, but the view was given first preference by Mrs. Nicholson in her letter, which is "note that you confess the truth about them there, so you inform the president on a point which is important to Southern women and their children."

The address, drawn up by a committee of which Dr. W. E. B.

C.—(A N P)—The national capital was startled Saturday, when the report was received that Perry Howard, special assistant to the attorney-general and national committeeman from Mississippi, had been indicted by a Mississippi grand jury, following the investigation of the handling of federal prisonage in Mississippi, which was conducted by Mabel Willebrandt, another special assistant to the attorney-general. Attorney Howard, upon receiving notice of his indictment, immediately tendered his resignation to the attorney-general, but the latter deemed it expedient to postpone action upon it until he could investigate the charges and await the outcome of the case. While Negro leaders here deplore the culpability of Attorney Howard, they are amazed that the Coolidge administration would initiate prosecution of this type in the face of the coming election and the persecution of Howard at the hands of the lilywhites in Mississippi. In decrying the Republican participation in the prosecution, these leaders point to the fact that nothing was done when similar charges were made against C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia and R. R. Creager of Texas, when their correspondence soliciting subscriptions was published.

"Civilization began with the brown races," said Lew Head, former editor of a Bassamadaily, now living in Los Angeles, speaking at a recent mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here, "and civilization will reach its highest achievements when the brown races of the world have first, conceived the need of consecrated leadership; second, sponsored those leaders and third, through them energized an improved civilization on this earth. 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 this transition of a minor into a major influence, the colored races of human experience play the biggest, or at least a very large part, in the process of equipment necessary to transform the latent power of the colored people of this and other nations into determining potency. Necessary Preliminary Equipment "First, it is necessary that the colored races become minority conscious and have a well defined and achievable purpose and competent leadership; second, that this minority be cohesive, organizable, well directed and willing to program without pestiferous quibbling; third, that its objectives be common to the mass, easily understood, and above all else, fax: and reasonable; fourth, that action be united, constructive, intelligent and persistent; fifth, that progress always be under vigorous control, never fanatical." Mr. Head asserted his belief that the power of achievement lies in the colored people and urged that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stand ready to lead in the present generation, leaving a well-defined basis for the next generation to espouse, and carry on toward the attainment of an advancing civilization participated in by colored people of the United States and the world. to develop them so that no longer is it possible to think of the Negro as a generally uninversed group.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONER DEFENDS NEGRO Loe Los Angeles, Cal.-Addressing the closing mass meeting in Symphony Hall of the 19th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Harry R. Dava, civil service comrade, declared that the meaning of New York's Northern industrial centers has been followed by "a significant increase in the number of elective and appointee positions held by colored citizens." Mr. Davis declared that the part played by the Negro in the reconstruction government was to be misrepresented and that the Negro in America may help to regenerate faith in the public service. Liberated Negro Made Good "It was in the reconstruction craze that the Negro had his first real opportunity to be a man of distinction Davis, and it came to him as the result of a combination of circumstances not of his making and with little regard to his own abilities would fit him to discharge the serious obligations involved.

Charges of fraud, graft and corruption were in evidence of the reconstitution governments were pictured in scandalous minicrysism. They were used to regain control and to obscure the really finer achievements Able Men In Congress "It should be kept in mind that the freedmen never completely dominated any state government, also that the administrations were in the hands of Southern men, the number of Northern carpetbaggers being greatly exaggerated. During the entire period only 33 colored men were seated in the national congress and one-half of these were college men. In one senatorial campaign, the Charleston News and Courier urged the election of Robert Brown Elliott, an Oxford man, over a Northern carpetbagger and a Southern demagogue. It has been aptly pointed out that a majority of these men had received more scholastic training than a recent president of the United States. In state and local administrative offices a fair number of colored men served with such conspicuous ability as to gain the respect of Southern whites." Negro Gave South Rebirth "In spite of inexperience and in spite of ignorance of the technique of government, handicaps which have wrecked far abler officials, the Negro gave to the South in a few short years the fundamentals of American democracy. He wrote into the organic law provisions for a free ballot and free public schools. He reformed the judicial and penal code and made the beginnings of state institutions for the care of the unfortunate. He even made free labor and wages respectable. Some day history will correctly appraise the Negro's first opportunity and effort and some day even a grudging South will admit the merit of these outstanding accomplishments—a program of achievements worthy of the highest praise in any democratic government."

Denying that she was the woman in the case, Blunt startled the court Monday morning. The woman, on the other hand had denied that Blunt had ever assaulted her or that he had beaten her with a belt as previously testified in the same court. Prior o Monday's hearing, the woman had placed charges of assault and rape against Blunt. While the news for the pair got together and the testimony introduced into court Monday morning was the result. Despite their concerted efforts to free each other the driver of the taxi-cab in which the woman had ridden, declared that Miss McCarver was the woman in the cab and that he had taken her from a point downtown to a candy store at 110th Street and Lenox Avenue, where she made two phone calls and Wolf, the chauffeur, declares that he overheard the woman tell the party on the other end of he's wife she was going up to Blunt's cabaret to see him. Blunt stuck to his story and the magistrate dismissed the charges against the girl. the Negro in public life. He is gradually securing, not a dominant, but representative place in public service. To Master Governmental Art "The Negro in public life must be trained to govern government units with the proper public conscience of this age. In office he must be not merely a Negro job but a public servant, entrusted with important public legislation must not fall into the error of thinking his sole obligation is to secure some 'race legislation' to be enacted by a minority of his constituency. "If you will pardon a personal赋伦, I have served four terms in this office, finding it necessary to sponsor any so-called 'race' legislation. Rather, I have pardoned the larger problems affecting the entire community. I selected a, few worthwhile measures and conceived a larger program, guided the respect and commendation of business and civic organization." Negro's Interest Is Local "All of our experience to date emphasizes the conviction that the efforts of the Negro in public service are best directed to local conditions. The accomplishments of the reconstruction era just noted, point to this with inescapable logic as contrasted with the experience in national affairs. Local office and prestige are a distinct asset. National government is a remote thing. State and municipal government touch us daily. It is here that training and experience in the art of government are gained." Public Service "In Bad" "It should not be forgotten that the public service in America is more or less in ill repute. It is the only country in the world where it is not honored and respected. I believe the Negro in America, with his fine traditions of democracy and loyalty can do much to re-establish faith in, and honor to, those who choose the public service as a career. This he can do if he conscientiously strives to master the technique of local affairs and to give honest service to his community. When the gratification of personal ambition gives place to unswerving rectitude of conduct, then complexion will be but a mere incident in the selection of the Negro for public service."

BISHOP DECLARES THOUSANDS PASS FOR WHITE FOLKS Los Angeles, Cal. — That five thousand and Negroes of color "puns" and become to all intents and purpose of the Bishop of Bihop J. W. Martin of the A.

We are the thousand Negroes of lighter hair are forced "over the line each year, in your hands to get a chair, to work on the job, to work on the job they work on the job they are best fitted," declared Bishop Hugh. I know the mayor of a certain town who is a white man now, but as a boy he is a community man and his brother is to this day a good colored presacher.

"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People proved the right to live and mind and have its being by formulating and carrying forward a program of education for the poor, the high and the low, the more favored and the less favored. "How we colored people live in the United States of America depends upon where and under what conditions we are forced to live. Go in watching the game and lay down the rule that where the pavement ends there the blacks have chosen, but is the result of conditions forced upon us. Restricted districts, prohibitive purchase prices, and abuse are only some of the means employed for adding insult to already surely injured group. We are only one of the Recreational Centers Not Provided theatre, the indoor, the playground, the dance floor, the Negro is often not even thought of in connection with them; and this is doubly true in that some of the larger numbers and where the need therefor is greatest. What we are going to do about it is not out, but we are going to do it. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken the field, and will never lose its place in the history of our men and women are held more precious; until we can have our appointed time. Layachings and mob violence, ghettoes and chain gangs are the result of small violence of certain citizens of our republic. "The arm of the government must be made long enough and strong enough to protect the way place and rescue from the very jaws of death any citizen on short notice. Will it ever come?" Walk and wait, but handle while we wait. "Beware of yourself," said an old Hindu sage, "for if you take care of your own emotions nobody from the outside can hurt you." 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 SOUTH'S GREATEST VALUES" Franklin's 415 MAIN STREET HOUSTON'S THRIFT STORE LAST TWO DAYS OF OUR GIGANTIC DOLLAR SALE Any Garment in Stock for NUMEROUS SILVER DESIGNS SUTTABLE FOR MODERN HOME II—Choosing a Silver Design Of course, I want selves," says the young woman who is about to acquire a husband and home. "But—yes, goals!"—what kind? The problem of selecting suitable silver is not as simple as it was in George Washington's time. When the Washington's wanted a new silver service, Mount Vernon they merely went their old one over to London with instructions to melt it down and make it up into the latest design. Then, siversmiths were comparatively few and more or less renowned, and their products were all along the same general style, corresponding to the architecture of the period. But nowadays when you go silver shopping you are confronted by a bewildering array of silver implements and omens which are reproductions or adaptations of half a dozen different styles developed by past ages. The question is: Of which period shall yous be? Naturally, you want silver of the period whose artistic expression seems most appropriate to your own background. There is, for instance, a very beautiful but elaborate type of silver which came into existence during the period of the world's history, especially designated for artistic purposes as the Italian Renaissance. Generally decorated with chasing high relief and repurchase work, its magnificence is such that only a large Fra HOL LAST OF DOL Any Ga This is the greatest sale Houston has ever witnessed—Positively any garment in our $50,000 stock may be had for $1.00, provide the first purchase made at the regular price.

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 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.

The gratification of recording such a fact only increases the sense of utter shame that a great modern nation must needs rejoice at so elementary an exhibition of decency. If lynching can be stopped for four months, it can be stopped for four years. If it can be lessened by local initiative it can and should be wiped out by national enactment. It is clear from two recent mob murders that lynching still needs to be stopped. A federal anti-lynching law should write into the statutes of the nation the determination of America to put down mob rule. Disfranchisement and segregation, race hatred and war, all are steps toward the same degeneracy. We have driven official residential segregation out from the protection of the law, but it continues to be common in real estate manipulation and by voluntary agreement. Some segregation by race of American citizens is still practiced and persisted in the departments of the federal government at Washington.

Racial Discrimination Rages “In the past, racial discrimination in the United States has been repeatedly excused on account of ignorance of the descendants of the slaves, despite the fact that his ignorance was once notoriously made compulsory by law. Even today with the tremendous advance which black Americans have made in intelligence, their means of education are deplorably limited. In the chief centers of Negro population there is open discrimination in the salaries of teachers, length of school terms, provision of housing and equipment, and amount of money spent on white and Negro public schools.” “A recent document published in the Congressional Record shows that the states which have separate schools for Negroes have only 3,000 college students, where they ought to have 37,000, and receive only $2,300,000 a year from state and national funds, when they ought to receive $12,000,000. This is illegal and unconstitutional and socially suicidal. It must be remedied and we must remedy it by ballots and by court action.” Economic Situation Precarious “Our economic situation is still precarious and deplorable.

THE SOLID SOUTH TENOR CONTEST NO LONGER SOLID, BIG FEATURE OF ASSERTS DeWALT NOVEL CONCERT Go down any time you please, Saturday or Sunday— returning portion of ticket good up to last train Monday night. 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. The Negro has been thinking and talking along this line for a long time and has gained several debating tensions that opportunity presents itself.

It is foolish to reason that both have been breathing the same air, living in similar environments, and that their temperature. Both races have a lot of housecleaning to do, but this is not the case for the elements do not qualify to vote in large numbers. Throughout the campaign, we are swing towards Al Smith.

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 When I was a small boy, it was customary among colored folks in my town to have their "big eats" on Sundays and frequently the minister or some other friend was in to dinner on that day and when company came the children always waited to be served later, and usually on such occasions we had fried chicken, and in invariably—especially if the minister was there—there would be nothing left on the platter but the drum-sticks, neck, and percherchers, and in the time of the same order, if you please the frame of mind of four hungry, growing boys who had to divide these remnants and then wash the dishes before going to play. It was, therefore, no easy task, but we met it with real courage and the most ingenious schemes. Even before the guests left the table we were deciding the grave question as to who would get the drum-stick, and frequently there was actual trading for this choice piece, as for instance, one brother would say, "You had the drum-stick Sunday before last, and if you let me have it today," I'll bring in woods for you tomorrow. The drum-stick was at the Street Hotel should be placed alongside the magnificent fight of the mid-west farmers in order to emphasize the great need for cooperative organization, and a new political leadership among the Ne-groes. 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.

PAGE SIX—FIRST IN COMPLETENESS THE DEATH KNELL OF PREJUDICE BY DRUSILLA DUNEJE HOUSTON (For The Associated Press) The white types of the nation who advocate Nordic superiority represent an old school of thought. Prejudice finding root in slavery and branching out still in the virtually ignorant and narrow-minded of the white race found showing in the colony of New York. The Negroes of some Negro types. Leadership in both these classes is falling like leaves. They stand in the way of God's designs. The Negro who has taught that prejudice blocked the onward way shall not enter into God's bright promises, though may be view them from afar and the white man will be in the future must die on Pisigah. It has been impossible for the intolerant spirit that thought lahaye to justify the need for equality for the Negro today. We must be bread enough to realize as much as we can about the nature, nature and intellect to see the Negro as an honored equal. The Negro feels innately a race inferiority. It is these two spirits that have most to do in their mission to their masing out we shall have a new America and a new day for the race. Israel passed over in 1948 and the crossing of the Red Sea. We, too, face a new day for the question of youth" in America is the answer of God and of youth to the old indulgence. The mind must be open to the question of cause it fell behind the advancing light of education. The old hypocrisy of the race with its extreme versions with them have alike been cast away. We will agree that some people have with it. A church has gone to realize how much of evil and hate has gone with it. A church has gone to practice discrimination, society professing culture but practicing deeds that are not respect of youth and its following. Youth disgusted with our moral platinum in the final excemplation of their school, their bitter cleavage will result in real freedom in America. As it was, the old full development by hide-bound restrictions of caste, which were the young generations born in a different day and under different conditions, the young generations born in a different tone that found birth under the "black slave codes." It is from this slavish spirit that youth have revelled in the association of castes must be re-defined. Young white Americans question from association with black people, whom they may happen to like. If they are in a plane than the low natural associations of their fathers that will be an important association with black children and hearing the teachings of their fathers in inferior know that their fathers have ignorantly or maliciously falsified, for black children with black children, to infer knowledge automatically. Seeing all this has had much to do with working their faith in any These young people in America seminarily do no many brazen tricks when it comes to fighting for hypocrisy. When they are tired of foolish and immoral behavior, they are going to smash the boasted and nontheoretical sides of white supremacy. There are no Lethalists, the Lethalists of either race. America grows intellectual. To win an audience to this lecture, the hung down on the old thread arguments of the Stoddards and the denougery. Even the South is turning from such leadership. In the death knell of prejudice is sounded. THE RISING NEGRO The Emporia, Kan, Gatezette: The Negro professional man in outside the larger cities laborers in the larger cities, Considering the obstacles imposed on them, it is amazing that so many in the larger cities, In the larger cities, brilliant Negro lawyers and singers, successful Negro lawyers and singers, are no longer as curiosity. In professional man has to contend with the prejudices of his own race, as a Negro. We will most have the white people, the white men at his few valleys, the white man at his foot, the white people, the white men, and the unformed to take the place of the man who has been so capricious about his own, and the consciously accept his assumption of superiority in the professions, and when they are sick or when they need a lawyer, they prefer to entrust themselves to a white doctor or lawyer. We are always the most unresty professional men who must much highly skilled. These prejudices are as deeply ingrained in the Negro race as they are in the white race. It is commonly observed, in states which permit traveling Negroes to eat in the dining car, and the white Nets are usually take occasion to slight and to insult in small ways the Negro warlers feel that the Negro diner is "putting on airs" by eating in the dining car, and take occasion to show their prejudices. We are free to race, if it is to gain equality in the professions with the white race, must respect its own professional men—its many brilliant teachers, actors, lawyers, doctors and ministers. Negroes should be proud of the success of Roland Hayes, Charles Gillies, Flint Mills and others who already have commanded the respect and admiration of the white people. Furthermore, Negroes should assist in every way, members of their own race, at present unknown, who are struggling for similar敌意.

Newspaper advertising has been proven the simplest form of advertising that can be used to promote a campaign are susceptible of checking by those already placed in placing ads. Newspaper advertising is special field of patronage, advertising to that group in class or sectional publications is to be recommended. The idea so prevalent that we know it is not only that the campaign is susceptible of business when contemplating purchases has been found to be quite wrong. It is incumbent upon the merchant to attract attention to himself and his business, and to make a profit, he should not be averse to paying the newspapers for this legitimate two of the most striking examples of the results of advertising may be found in the developments in the past five years in the hairdressing business and in the fashion industry. One of the types of advertising, one highly competitive in character, and the other developed largely by cooperative advertising. Either method may be applicable to your business. There is an mistake in the use of the term "community advertising" on community lines would be found expedient for any group of retailers, if careful study be given to the matter before such a campaign can be made. The latter from perusal of a volume called "Advertising For Community Purposes" issued by the Domestic Commerce Division for ten cents, is the most effective approach, approaching him with an open mind and learn the many things the live newspaper man knows about the use of space and the returns therefrom. There is a need to be careful in selecting the right business, and there is a newspaper available for reaching your public.

But the Bordentown that is interesting to us, is the school a few miles away, the Bordentown Manual Training and Industrial School, presided over by William R. Valentine. Four hundred acres of rolling land overlooking the Delaware, which hereing the Delaware River, which here bends in one of its lovely curves, making an incomparable bit of scenery. An interesting school, with a wonderfully fine and well-chosen faculty. A school, where the boys outnumber the girls, and where no pupil may graduate from the high school course without at the same time having earned a trade certificate. And there is every possible trade from which to choose. If you do not go to Bordertown to visit the rather remarkable school, or to cheer its baseball team, which has just closed an unbeaten inter-schooling season, or to attend its school.

So, sometime or other you are going to Bordertown, and the claware River and the eyes with a wellter of birdsong, and the stately halls of the school, and Mr. and Mrs. Valentine. But you may never see a remarkable exhibition of self-control as occurred on last Thursday, commencement day. All proper commemovements are held out of doors, and this will be a proper commencement with all the usual concomitant. A sun of hazy humidity settled behind a sombre cloud of portentious lividity. Trees turned with hite and leaves up aghast at a brassy sky. A huge cloud, almost funnel shaped, from the river and glowed over the islands. The gleed club sang the Stabat Mater of the�ominous accompaniment of thunder. The voice of the soprano rose above the mutterings in the distant hilla across the river. The presiding officer introduced the commencement of the same long jagged slashes of lightning river the how inky cloud, which crept from the river over the heads of the listeners. The audience never stirred. There are no shelter. Summer frost flowers flowered through the roof, and did not seem to matter. A courteous and apparently individually attention to the orchid gave the gloom a ghastly darkness settling over the perilous brilliant assemblage. But it was the orchid that told to seek shelter in the auditorium. it sat self-controlled, polite. The people were barely within the walls of the school assembly hall summer frost brought back summer warmth. Even the blooming orchid out for a while, leaving darkness in it. But no excitement, no untouched attention. But no disastrous pain. Simply they err who tell us that we were otherwise a disastrous pain. I shall always remember the moment audience at the Borden Theater always remember the moment an example of a self-control that hardly have been possible twenty-five years ago. we are growing in grace and Jackson, Miss. - (ANP) -Governor Bob bin has committed to life imprisonment of Allie Gray, who was to be sentence of Allie Gray, who was to be sentenced at Greenville, July 14.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Years of Growing Experience. 1. Saul Preached Christ in Damascus (vv. 19-23). 2. Saul's fellowship with the disciples (v. 12). After Saul was baptized he remained certain days with the believers in Duzmous (v. 12). How beautiful to think of the transformation which took place—the one who was so psumnately bent on their destruction was now enjoying fellowship with the disciples. 2. Straightforward prescribing in the synagogues (v. 29) One who is really converted, began to tell of the newly found Seder. As an as he is in saved he goes to save others. 3. The people mourn (v. 21). 4. The man who had been that had been the ringleader in persecuting the Christians in Jerusalem, and had come to Damascus for the exile, and had come to the chief priests, now won persecutive advancing that which he had so vehemently sought to destroy. 5. Seated inrael to Arabia for three years. During this time he was taught the full truth of his ministry. 6. Exposes From the Jew (v. 25, 26). 7. He used the Scriptures with such skill that the Jew could not answer him. Finally, the Jew took counsel how they might destroy Saul. So intent were they upon killing him that they switched on the weapon they might take him. When this became known to the disciples, they let him down from the wall by night in a basket. 8. Saul Wish Jehovah (v. 25, 26). This journey to Jerusalem was in strange contrast with the one from the city of Jerusalem, as a leader of an important expedition under the authority of the Jew's church, and as a leader of dislocation in the council of the Jewish nation. Now he is an outcast, disowned by his countrymen. 1. Suspected by the disciples (v. 26). 2. Believed at Jerusalem and not heard fairly about Sasu's conversion. 3. Arrabed in Arabia, and his preaching at Dumasen after his return. Therefore he was unable to discover the reality of Sasu's conversion. 4. Burrowed in Sasu. 5. Burrowed was a man filled with the desire to be able to discover the reality of Sasu's conversion. He was in reality "Son of consolation" and in this instance he was able to discover the reality of Sasu's conversion. 6. Sasu in fellowship with the disciples (v. 25). 7. In and out together. Peter received him in his home where he abides fifteen days (Gal. 1: 15). 8. Sasu disputes with the Greeks. 9. He was not content merely to visit with the brethren. He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 10. A complicity similar to that one Dumurus was faced against the Jews. He was sent to Taraxa. Saul's life they was sent to Taraxa. Saul's life except among the Gentiles. He is now back at Jerusalem, where he and a d best place for his tessellation is in his home. Saul's conversion was typical of the conversion of the Jew. Saul was sent to Jerusalem by a personal revelation of Jesus Christ to them, and when they accepted him as their Savior and Messiah he go forth as witness to the Gentiles. V. Sull Teaching at Antich (111 302) The work at Antich is prosperous in the homes of Bornames that he went to Taras for his so help in the work. Sull returned with the work, and in the year the disciples were called Christian at Antich. This name resembles the name of the church given in being deified, as is frequently taught. God's Program The program at Antich is not concerned with time. With film a thousand pictures are on a day. We are too busy to watch. In the rolling film, he has wrought wonders, but a night sight falls to see H.-Methuselius Protestant.

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.

Houston declaration of religious authority is handed as ranking among the greatest manifesto of all times. must be no intolerance and no The separation of church and state is a fundamental principle in the fabric of American institutions. 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. LYNCH LAW AT HOUSTON The New York News: From a denominational standpoint the African Methodist Church has been the greatest exemplar of mixing politics and religion.

Its key role of strategic made place for leaders of strategic positions and power. Up to a few decades ago their ranking ecclesiastical stood out as the foremost leaders of the race.
