Franklin, former Texan, reached our nannies Monday, committing of 55 paper letters of excellent read- ing matter, display advertising, cuts, et cetera. For several years Mr. Franklin who billed the printing and non- paper games at Denison, was engaged in job printing business in Kansas City, and he needed the need of a real, live race newspaper in that section of the country, and the CIMB its sail on the journalistic waters. Its growth and progress have been phenomenal during the decade of its establishment in Baltimore in the country of the leading newspapers of the country, with one of the most modern cities in the country, created by the county in the country having recently installed a Goss high speed newspaper press. The race are steadily employed by this Missouri publication, which has a large circulation in Kansas City and the country. Mechanically and editorially, The Call compares with other metropolitan race newspapers, and its pulling volume of display and classified advertising carried in its columns every week. We are a news newspaper published in the North, or the country, carry more advertising lineage than the Call, and to Joseph B.

We take this opportunity to extend felicitations to Frater Franklin upon the attainment of his tenth milestone in the field of journalism, and we will present his honorary degree, growth, expansion. The activities of the senatorial investigation committee and one of the federal offices of the United States Department of the state of federal offices in Mississippi and Georgia, where colored Republicans were literally arraigned a horse's nest, politically speaking, and many are charging that it is merely a plan to discredit the party partisan leaders of Negro extraction. This paper does not want to pre-judge the investigations, but, if the project is the activities of the额斯科拉地区other states or Mississippi, and such other states or sections where the collection of information is not as good as the influence in partisan affairs, then it will appear that colored Republics leaders are being�anted by the local议员, and they have since been involved and employed, not only in the South, but throughout the republic. It has been commonly rumored that when the Harding campaign of 1930 ended, there was a deficit of more than one percent of the total population, and the number of more than one percent of the total population was less than the total number of more than one percent of the total population. It is further alleged that the national leaders of the Republican party are the first lines of the state of federal office in order that these state leaders would not be the only people who will be the only people who will be the national organization to pay off the outstanding claims against the party. Whether this charge or statement is in effect, the state's policy is not a part of the State. It is the practice of podding federal law, and it is the practice of making the policy not begin at the source and head? Would any state leaders engage in such a case? If they felt or know that the people who are in need of a sympathy with their activities? It is the power to this paper that certain Southern congressmen threatened to expose such practices in his state from the floor of congress, but that the state's policy is not to be the only policy that charges. What is the word of more Leaders of Democracy May Select Negro To Oppose Race Nominee First Illinois District May-Witness Hectic Race For Madden's Seat in Congress—DePriest's Forces Ready For Battle—Victory Seen For Colored Congressional Candidate In November. Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) If the right man can be found, Oscar DePriest, out-in-front Republican candidate for congress from the First Illinois District, may shortly find himself staunchly opposed by a Negro Democrat. Conferences with white Democratic leaders have disclosed their willingness and, in some cases, their desire, to further their party interests in the November election by placing a Negro Democrat on their ticket in an effort to beat DePriest. These white Democrats are now seeking to learn what will be the possible attitude of the Chicago Negro toward the Democratic county ticket at elgion time. They have the precedent of the mayoralty election of 1923, when Negroes voted large majorities for William J. Dever, the Democratic victor, to indicate to them that situations can be arranged to bring about a reversal of the normal Republican Negro vote. Can what was done in 1923 be repeated in 1929 in the United States? Two phenomena that have interested Democrats have been the results of certain straw votes for Hoover and Smith, and the reported wavering and insecurity of the colored Republican leaders. ARKANSAN LAUNCHES COLORED DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION TO SUPPORT SMITH AND ROBINSON Little Rock Physician Heads Movement To Back Donkey Party's National Standard-Bearers —Leader Lauds "Al" and "Joe" In Speech. Little Rock, Ark. — (ANP) —A real, honest-to-goodness Democratic organization was formed by the Templary when 250 prominent citizens, headed by Dr. J. M. Robinson, met at the Mosaic Templars Temple and organized a local branch of the National Negro Democratic League. The officers of the newly organized body are: Dr. Robinson, president; P. H. Jordan, vice-president; J. W. Douglas, secretary; Benjamin Henderson, treasurer, and D. M. Wells, Wash Jordan and Dr. Joseph Hickman, members of the executive committee. A effort on the part of few dyes-in the-wool Republicans to throw the proverbial monkey-wrench in the machinery was frustrated, and the meeting was harmonious throughout. Straw votes gathered in the Negro district have so far given-Herbert Hoover a lead of less than ten per cent over his Democratic rival, Al Smith. This is significant in view of the fact that straw votes in previous presidential years have revealed the Democratic nominee picking up only the crumbs from the table. John W. Davis in 1924 received between eight and ten per cent, as against forty and forty-five for Smith today. It is apparent that these straw votes disclose an unprecedented amount of good will for Smith that ought to be nursed and used to good effect for the Democratic state and county tickets. Democratic Leaders Lay Plans White Democratic leaders are also considering what is going to be the strength and position of such men as Dan Jackson, committeeman of the Second Ward; Oscar DePriest, congressional candidate and committeeman of the Third Ward, and Bishop A. J. Carey, civil service commissioner, who dominates the Fourth Ward.

To Test Newest Texas Attempt To Disfranchise Negro Decisions of Federal Judges Hutcheson and West of Texas, To Be Attacked In Court—Subterfuge Similar To That In Other Southern States—Plans Already In Motion To Combat Action. New York City—Immediately upon receipt of the news that Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson at Houston, Texas, on July 24, had ruled that political 1 parties may prescribe their own membership qualifications and that the Democratic party therefore can bar Negro voters from participation in their primaries, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People set in motion plans upon which work was begun some months since to combat this newest attempt to bar Negroes from these primaries. It will be remembered that the N. A. A. C. P. won one of its most signal victories in the United States Supreme Court in March, 1927, when, in the famous case of Nixon vs Hernon, that ruled unquivocally as unconstitutional a statute passed by the state legislature which declared that "in no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic election held in the state of Texas."

As soon as the supreme court had thus eliminated for all time this means of disfranchisement, efforts of federal court construction, and finding some new means of achieving the same ends without conflict with the federal constitution, have been made at time that such a step would be taken. Shortly afterwards, a legislative enactment allowing an enabling set which sought to give to the various political parties in the state the right to preside should be members in such parties. The N.

Howard, former special assistant to the attorney-general of the United States, characterized himself as a martyr to Negro leadership in the South, and the investigation as a means of overthrowing the power of Negroes in the Republican party in the South, in a statement released recently. Mr. Howard was indicted on charges of peddling federal patronage, along with several other prominent Republican leaders in the South, and his brother, Mr. Howard made bond here in Washington and the leaders who are reading in Mississippi were granted a change of venue.

PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN QUELL HARLEM MOB New York City.—(ANP) -Firmer and policemen joined in an effort to quell a riot in Harlem Sunday night which was precipitated by the arrest of John Donald, 3288 Seventh Avenue by a white traffic policeman. The police officer colored man and his wife in their apartment at 559 Lenox Avenue, earlier in the evening. About seven o'clock, Donald with two other men went to the home of a woman named Robert. All of them apparently had been drinking and they went to Chadwick, a town said to be a friend of the three. When Chadwick came to the door, they demanded Robert. It was in vain that the police officer named "Robert" lived there. They tried to push past him into the apartment and when they came in their faces. One of the three caught up a hammer which was on his shoulder and dragged her. Chadwick wife came to his assistance, and when the three caught sight of her they seized her and dragged her away, screaming, with Donald in pursuit. He overtook her on the third floor and struck her, she says. Then she ran into apartment of a neighbor, darted to an open window and screamed for At that Donald ran downstairs and joined his friends, who already had a patrolman. Patrolman Charles Kubell of the traffic squad, gave chase and overhauled Donald at 1538 Street from the sidewalk and attacked the policeman. He went down before the police and also retreated from the sidewalk and attacked his companion, whom he tried to use as a shield against the kicks that were thrown from the nearby homes, and as a patrolman. As the police man, desi Stella and Samuel McFadden, all of the West 135th Street station, was buried beneath his associates. The three policemen dashed into the maze with nightlights and scrambled to the side of Kubell and to the side of Kubell and his prisoner. When Kubell regained his feet, the prisoner, beating back with his knife, the infuriated mob which tried to overhaule them and snatch Donald Reserves of the West 135th Street station and the West 123d Street station were piled into the patrol wagons and motor cars and rushed to the scene of the conflict. The police emergency truck from the West 152d Street station came upon the scene. The hook and ladder trucks rolled up. Sections of Lenox Avenue and 139th Street were completely blocked by the fight. The crowd had been split up into groups of a few stragglers, the four police were still battling with their prisoners in the center of the crowd. The reserves cleared the streets. They found Kubell, Johnson, DeStella, and McFadden and their prisoner severely injured. Donald was taken to Harlem Hospital a prisoner, charged with felonious assault. Mrs. Chadis identified him there as the man who had tried to force his way into her apartment and attacked her. Kubell, who could hardly walk, was severely kicked by the mob. DeStella had a cut over his eye. McFadden suffered a fracture of the left hand and Johnson a fracture of the right hand.

WRITE TODAY for FREE SAMPLE High Prices Are Often Imaginary By BETTY BARCLAY The average woman fails to appreciate the fact that foods looked up at certain seasons as expensive, are really reasonable in price and sometime actually cheap. Price is only relative, and we should remember this when we are marketing. If we don't, we are likely to fly off on a tangent and come home without some of the things we need, bringing in their place certain foods that we are at present eating too freely. Let us take oranges and the present time to prove our point. This fruit is selling today at a price that many women look upon as rather high. Probably here and there a woman is buying in smaller quantities or not at all, waiting for the price to come down to last year's level. Is she acting wisely or even intelligently when she takes this stand? five cents for an orange may appeal more to older adults than for thirty or forty cents a dozen. But how about the price of an orange that the price is too high. We do not hesitate to pay five cents for a very small walnut meat and sixty cents to a dollar a pound for such foods that are more expensive than an orange beside five cents' worth of walnut or more than worth of many of our other stables, and we will see that even at sixty cents a dozen are not particularly high. Or figure this as aoculated high price for an orange. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1928 Dr. Mitchell had a farm and an academy for boys.

"Why don't you go in for engineer?" suggested a mining engineer who came into Uncle John's office. ing at sixty cents a dozen, probably average about three to the pound—the leaf vegetable. See to it that bringing our price per pound down for that, expensive carboly and proteins are purchased in silent cents. and green vegetables—particular This is interesting, isn't it? Here we have paid sixty cents a pound for butter when it was not particularly plentiful, every year since we first started to market—and we rarely complained. We pay forty, sixty or even seventy cents a pound for meat—and still we keep comparatively quiet. But when we are paying fifteen cents a pound for oranges we begin to shout "expensive." Price is merely relative. Instead of paying a high price for oranges today, there are really paying a price that is a little higher than a very cheap price paid when the crop was much heavier and the demand, not so great. No! There is no argument by bringing up the fact that sixty cents meat is natural because it comes from the middle west and it takes a steer a long time to go from caldom to beefdom. Your breakfast orange probably comes from California, from a tree that had been growing for years before the steer's mother was born. We merely get into a rut by comparing prices when they are high with prices when they are low, and not realizing that climate, crop, rainfall, parking, selection of quality fruit, and dozen and one other things enter into the high price that may prevail at a certain time. To a great extent we should forget price and think more of health. The more we eat, the more we save enough on foods that we are now eating too heavy, to purchase all we need of the foods that we should eat. Most of us eat too heavy of carbohydrate and protein foods that have an acid reaction in the stomach, and that can cause upset stomach. and green vegetables—particularly the green vegetable. See there, here, and the protein and proteins are purchased in less quantity—and with the money saved they are desirable balancing foods, even though they may be selling at a litle price than they were a month or a year ago. To see it that you eat heavily of the vegetable and if you fruits of all kind are eaten, then fruit Drink lemonade when thirsty and help to reduce the acidity of your body—even when taken into the system. like oranges have a decided alkaline effect when taken into the system. Eat salad, fruit cups, light desserts, Sleep. Exercise. And you need not worry about the high price of some special fruit or vegetable. You will save enough on other things to contemplate. You prove your health. If you don't, you'll surely save more than enough to eat enough of it, when you eat it. Food is expensive when you do not eat enough of it, when you eat it.

The convention will be held at the Birmingham, Alabama, and the two days will be spent in investigating the program of the brotherhoods and in mapping the areas where the brotherhoods will be able to retain their jobs and other may be employed. Among the prominent speakers, in addition to the speakers, will be Editor Oscar W. Adams of the Birmingham Reporter, and P. D. Davis, financial secretary of the Ma In the meantime, R. L. Mays, law counsel of this city, who has taken up work in the office of the prison workers, has written to J. E. Hutchinson, vice president of the Prison Department of the rumor and urging him to turn a deaf ear to the request of the brotherhood. In his petition to the governor, he says that "now any time in the future would eliminate the Negro from justice in the long years of pany in justice to the long years of pany in justice to the long years of pany which Negro have rendered the company; that if any such rule is proposed or proposed to the governor of dispay or colored employees be allowed to make the company a nominal party to a request for mediation, that if any such change would be between the company and its colored workforce as far as any such change would be between the company and its colored white craftsmen, the colored employee further request that on any request, an arbitration board of three—a neutral member and one member each from the colored workers and the colored workers, be appointed. According to reports from the Birmingham district, a determined effort is being made to increase New York from the service by the big four brotherhoods and immediate action is necessary if the colored employees are required to work in the service.

But the great majority of women who have silver service are correctly equipped with sterling silver, find that they must monthly budget, and to them the most important question is: "Which silver is most essential?" Most household experts agree that a full set of flat tableware is the first and most important requirement. That is, in addition to the usual dinner knives, forks, butter knives and three sizes of spoons—soup, tea and tablespoons—it is necessary to have salad forks and bouillon spoons, dessert knives, forks and spoons, after dinner coffee spoons and a cold meat fork and platter knife. Fruit knives and forks, orange spoons, cocktails forks, fish knives and forks and servicers of various kinds are also desirable, but these can be delayed in favor of more urgent items, meantime making one implement do the work of two. The dessert knives and forks, for instance, can be used for the fish course as well as dessert. The number of each size bought may be limited or increased according to the habitual scale of entertainment. Some newly-married couples, whose entertaining is confined to small, intimate dinners among their close friends, can get along quite nicely with six, but the usual number bought is eight, and where large formal dinners are the rule, nothing less than a dozen would be required. To use sterling silver ornaments on the table while the flat ware is shaded, a good taste, but with it provided for the next addition might well be the decorative centerpiece, a silver flower bowl. If a choice must be made for the time being between the two, a candelabra containing four candles makes an attractive centerpiece in itself, and one woman of our secrecy should come four salt and pepper shakers; a round, flat sandwich plate which can also be used as a bread tray and a computer or two dishes. Then it will be time to consider serving dishes, with wide variety of serving dishes made in silver, a flat, round silver tray is the most indispensable, for its uses are practically unlimited. It provides a pleasing background to dishes particularly in the green corn and asparagus seasons; it provides a pleasing background to chops distributed at a central mount of mashed potato, filet of sole, ice cream in broth or in a folded napkin. It can also be used for removing salts and peppers from the table or for serving After the platter, a triple vegetable dish has been investment. Sichih has three dishes partments for vegetables and saves much time in serving as well as dish preparation. The covers which can be converted into two versatile pieces and a round dish for vegetables or salads or desserts, are for the dining table. It is practically compartmentalized in a medium equipment of service plates, bread and butter plates and bobles is developed. HOW BIG IS YOUR WORLD?

AUGUST 4. 1928 PIGGLY-WIGGLY FOUNDER CASTS GIBE AT CHURCH PIGGLY-WIGGLY FOUNDER CASTS GIBE AT CHURCH Memphis, Tenn.—(ANP) —The enemies of Robert R. Church, in this section, are missing no opportunity to take a crack at him in their future efforts to discredit him and to overthrow his leadership, but the astute and fighting "Bob" Church edithinning and gaining victory after victory. The most recent attack made against Mr. Church takes the form of a double-page advertisement in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, signed to the mayor, and mentions, paid for by Clarence Saunders, the famous founder of the Piggy Bank, who has a similar chain bearing his name and supported largely by Negroes. In this advertisement, Saunders, who is promoting the campaign of Governor George W. Bush, clares: "I am a friend of the Negro—I have always been," but he deplored the Negro's support of Negroes to vote in the forthcoming Democratic primary. Headling the ad "Bob Church, Church, Church—getting game." Saunders points out: "That's the gang in Memphis that has a 20,000 to 20,000 majority in a Democratic primary of Shelby County. That number is 20,000 to 20,000 citizens and Negroes is enough to stop every decent man's nose in Tennessee from taking a single breath. In Shelby County elections that no color line is drawn in a Democratic primary, Negroes have their poll taxes paid by 'Bob Church-Crump gang' and Negroes have their automobiles to the voting precincts and there instructed to vote in a race that only 'known democrats' are eligible. That is not the case with the negroes. He is not. But what does the 'Bob' Church-Crump gang have to do with it? He should include it." After relating the power of the "Bob Church-Crump gang" and ex-convict John Grosse who characterized as the "ignorant pawn" of "Bob Church," he made a heart-rending plea for the city of County, that is the white manhood and womanhood, to assert itself as the power of this Bob Church-Crump gang, and power of this Bob Church-Crump gang in the white manhood of this city of Memphis a spark that can be aroused by the unholy nature of this unholy nature of "Bob Church" and Ed Crump: Will the white men and the white women of Memphis be able to vote with Negroes, side by side, in a Democratic primary?" His friend of the day, however, did not believe that Negroes and white folk stand by side in his stores to buy goods and put monuments.

C.—(ANP)—Declaring that she was actuated in the prosecution of Perry W. Howard, Mississippi Republican national committeeman, by no other motive than that of doing her duty as a law enforcement officer, Mrs. Mable Willebrandt in an interview Wednesday with a representative of the Associated Negro Press, insisted that she would not be swerved by public opinion or political pressure from her program of seeking indictments and convictions wherever graft was found, no matter how big and powerful the person involved was or what his racial identity. Public attention has been directed toward Mrs. Willebrandt recently because of the militant attitude and eager zeal she has shown in her post-convention prosecution of charges of selling federal offices in Mississippi, a practice which, in the absence of a federal judge, has been ruled and other Southern states, is reported to exist in most of them.

The levelling of attention, however, upon Mississippi where the long history of slavery survives and Georgia where a senator was born, has given rise to the widely expressed view that the real purpose of the Niger leadership. The absence of prosecution in other states that far seems to emphasize the role of senators. "It will not discuss the Perry-Hard matter, because it would be both difficult to out information regarding a pending case," Mrs. Willebrandt said in an interview presented by A. N. P. "and, while I deeply regret the turn the matter over, I deeply regret the turn that many know that many will perhaps interpret my activity wrongly. I simply am following the rules of the criminality and graft wherever evidence of it is laid before me, as I am finally ready to do so." While as an individual I have espoused the cause of Hertzert Hoover neither that fact nor that party will affect my official attribution. Mrs. Willebrandt, whose grapping with the red hot problem of Southern political attention upon her, presents an interesting picture. Evidently in her middle shirts, alienated from her hair and cool gray eyes, this woman by sheer force and ability has the means of justice is entirely feminine in her appearance. She has none of the masculine manners used in her appearance, and lawyers, until she grows excited when poking her chin and lip with a finger for emphasis. She has the Causesa habit be smiling with her lip "I'll write my answers to these who I can answer," she said as the interviewer laid before her the type-written list of questions, promising that aair and impartial presentation of her replies would be given. Here are the questions and her written replies: 1. What steps are being taken to make similar investigations in other Conzelle White, Leading Lady in her own "Big Jamboree Company."

It is reported that you personally visited Washington before going to Mississippi and that you have expressed an opinion that the Republican party is the most likely white people. (Answer: "No, but it should be in the hands of honest people white or colored.") 5. In Bloxius, we understand you are quoted as saying that "you have the right to run the Negroes out of the Republican party in Southern states so that you run the Negroes out of the Republican party in Southern states so that you direct the policy in the matter of seating delegates." It is correct? (Answer: "No.") 6. The chairman of the content committee at Kansas City, did you direct the policy in the matter of seating delegates? (Yes, I presided and defended majority action taken.) 6. Under the rule of the Republican national committee, delegates Wurzbach faction followed this rule or procedure. The Craiger faction ruled on the basis of their being seated? (Answer: "The reply to this question is too involved and technical to animate." The Craiger faction of the Texas case and you can read the opinion upon which it is based") and that was at Senator Leonor's office. 7. Do you feel that the raising of the patronage question in Southern states is the most advantage to the Republican ticket? (Not answered.) 8. That most of the Negroes in Southern states are Republicans and that they constitute 85 per cent of the party, do you believe that denying them representation or voice in Republican conventions or an office or any other office in the ranks of the party, just?

AUGUST 4. 1928 AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER MUDCAT WHITES SEEK TO DISBAR NEGRO LAWYERS Jackson, Mits.—(ANP)—Steps designed to disbar Perry W. Howard, national Republican committee member, to disbar members as members of the Jackson bar were taken here Wednesday when a committee was appointed by Chancellor V. J. Strickler of the Seventh Chancery. He was appointed and character of the Negro enterprise. WHY IS IT? The reason given for the effort to disbar Attorney Howard, S. D. Bale, is that he indicted defendants secured against them for trafficking the patronage. W. Bale, the former lawyer of the section and for many years the law partner of Attorney Howard, S. D. Bale, is indicted. "A man wakes up in the morning, after sleeping under an advertised blanket on an advertised mattress, and pulls off advertised pajamas; takes a bath in an advertised tub; shaves with an advertised razor; washes with advertised soap; powders his face with advertised powder; dons advertised underwear, hose, shirt, collar, shoes, suit, handkerchief; sits down to a breakfast of advertised cereal; drinks a cup of advertised coffee; puts on an advertised hat; lights an advertised cigar; rides to his office in an advertised auto on advertised tires; deposits money in advertised institutions; then he refuses to advertise on the grounds that advertising does not pay." The action on the part of the bar association follows closely in the wake of the verdict against the indictments and is looked upon as an effort on the part of the whites that negroes the Negro attorneys and further Perry W. Howard in political affairs of the Republican party in the state of Arkansas. In a statement made public last week in Washington, Attorney Howey mentions that he convinced and described himself as a martyr to Negro leadership. Attorney Redmond and Moon have been charged with having taken a leading part in Republican politics in this section, and have takenponsible for the anti-lynching plank encroached in the G. O. P. platform of atmosphere and have no color prejudice.") ADVERTISE! 9. Some time ago letters were sent to the North to ask for documentation by federal emplog on the part of Means. Sleeps and Crager, white commitment of Virginia and North Carolina, take time to make a take in those cases? (Answer: "I know nothing about that.") Justice can initiate so much activity on behalf of a patronage matter, why is not act taken on the violation of the patronage statute? (Answer: "That steps do you think the party ought to take to explain your role to the Negro voters of the North who are under the impression that you are not to drive the Negro out of leadership and active party participation in the North as always to do my duty solely as I see it, to enforce the criminal law as we have clear evidence of their wrongdoing, whether defendants are white or colored and without references to any other A machine for printing 12. Are any charges on file affecting states other than Mississippi and Georgia? Which ones? (Referred to senate investigation committee.) The questioner was not satisfied, not once had she expressed interest in the disfranchisement of thousands of Southern citizens nor abhorrence of the methods used to deprive them of their ballot. “Can you not see,” he persisted, “that the public generally is certain to put the stamp of political motive and of ‘lily-white’ sympathy upon your activity since only Mississippi and Georgia are involved?” “They haven't found anything on Ben Davis, have they?” she asked quickly. “Not that I know of.” “Well, you needn't try to worm out of me any statement bearing on politics,” was her closing sentence.

Paul and Barnabas Preaching at ionium (v. 1-4). 2. This is suggested by v. preaching (v. 1). 3. This is suggested by the little word "so" in verse 1. They so speak that a great multitude believed they were the greatest concession of sin and indulges declines for Christ can be truly said to be preaching in the Biblical sense. Their attitude towards oppression. This is suggested by the word "therefore". "Long time therefore they tarred." The opposition did not imply that they were the greatest concession to continue preaching. Christian workers should learn not to give up work because of opposition. They continued their preaching with mirth (v. 3). Since the opposition was so fierce, the Lord granted help which was needed. The effect of their preaching (v. 4). 5. The attitude of the city was divided. Where men nativitally preach the city, where concession comes frequently in the home just as Christ predicted. 6. Paul and Barnabas assumed The Jews and the Gentiles united in planning this assault. Being applied of this plot, Paul and Barnabas wrote to them, where they proclaimed the gospel. 1. An Attendance to Worship Paul and Barbasae as Gods (v. 8-18). 2. The mission of God's gracious power shown in heating this lame man occasioned a new cripple. He had never walked. On hearing Paul preach faith in his heart (10.11). When he heard the lame man preach Christ, with a loud voice that could hear he bade the man to stand on his knees. He then leaped on he leaped on and walked (v. 10). 2. The method (v. 11-13). They called Barbasae Jupiter, and offered him as chief speaker. The priest of Jupiter brought oxen and garlands ready to offer sacrifice to those men (v. 13, 14-18). The couch act was happily averaged by the tact of the apostles as exhibited in the address of the occasion. They decided that they were divine beings and declared against the worship of men of like passions with themselves. What awful folly to use Barbasae God, who created all things and is above, spreading his Bench cent hands in blessing upon all, is (2) They directed them to turn away from these vain things onto the living God who made heaven and earth, and has left witness of him self in that Hehas always done good giving rain and fruitful season, filling their hearts with gladness. III. The Stoning of Paul (cv. 19-22). Wicked Jews from Antioch and Iconium pursued Paul with relentless hate to this place where they stirred in the very people who were willing to worship the apostles a little before. This hatred took form in the stoning of Paul and dragging him out of the city for dead. These things are easy to talk about, but how awful they must be to experience. God raised him up, and with undaunted courage he presses on with his duties as a missionary, bearing the good fildings to the lost. The church today needs men with such zeal and courage, and such a passion for the souls of lost men that they will do as Paul did. IV. The Organization of Churches in the Field (vv. 23-28). Evangelization with Paul did not mean a hasty and superficial preaching of the gospel, but the establishment of a prenational-market. Elders were appointed in every church. The work of the missionary is not done until self-governing and self-propagating churches are established on the field. Fly to Him If it be true that God is not only willing to befed us, but is spoken of as touched with sympathy for our miseries, as to be so kind to us, the more we are miserable, what folly were it not to fly to him without delay—John Calvin.

At one of their recent meetings, charges were preferred against Charles M. Hanson, former secretary of the lodge, in which it was alleged that Hanson was guilty of malfessance in office. Many members are suing with Hanson in the issue, also with former Exalted ruler Brown, who recently was suspended for ninety-nine years. Coincident with the charges against Hanson, the present exalted ruler Charles T. Nurse, declared in the meeting, that the present bandmaster of the Imperial Band, Elmer Goodwin, be dismissed and another leader appointed in his stead. The announcement precipitated a fight in which Samuel Boyd, a member, was stabbed in his back. Mr. Boyd was removed to the office of Dr. Maynard where he was treated. A very strong movement is on foot to have the charges against the former exalted ruler and the secretary dropped, with Brown being reinstated in the lodge.

WINSLOW'S SYRUP OPINIONS The Houston Informer EDITORIALS NEGRO VOTERS LACK INTEREST IN VOTE RIGHTS COURT BARS NEGRO DEMOCRATS! Negro Democrats of Houston and Texas received a severe shock and rude jolt last week, when Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson, Jr., of the Southern Texas United States District Court and Judge Duvall West of the Western Texas United States District Court upheld the action of the Democrat from the party maine election of July 28 and the run-off primary of August 25. Published every Saturday by the Webster-Richardson Publishing Company, Inc., 409-411 Smith Street, Houston, Texas. Since the United States Supreme Court, in the Nixon case appealed from El Paso, held that the Democratic party primary election held in Texas is tantamount to an election, the decision to nominate a Republican to the appointment to Nixon Democrats and colored citizens generally. By S. B. WILLLAMS Last Saturday morning at 10 a.m. the office of the county clerk, men and women of our race met at the apartment house owned by the prefect chairman, C. N. Love, for the county clerk, a prefect conference chairman, the county chairman, a prefect conference chairman. The court held that*political parties have the right to prescribe the qualifications of their constituents, and that the state and county executive committees of such partisan organizations are neither agencies nor agents of the state, and thus no legal rights of the race had been infringed or invaded by the state in barring Negroes from such party elections. When you consider all the hue and cry concerning the lack of opportunity to vote, you might consider his or her innable rights at the ballot box, you would naturally exert your power with black folk who would feel that they were interested in their political rights and civil welfare when you recall all the bemoaning of our sad, and fate, and the regular, and the not wanting to use our exercise of power, and the lives you could not help but go to those conventions expected to be held. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1928 In the Nixon case the state had a civil statute which specifically stipulated that under no circumstances should a Negro be permitted to vote in a Democratic party primary election in Texas, and if a Negro should vote in such elections, his vote would be null and void and should not be counted nor considered by election officials. ATTORNEYS' "CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH!" The recent decision of Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson, Jr., presiding over the United States District Court for Southern Texas, which dismissed the equity suit brought by Leonard Daniel Ingram, an Oklahoma Negro of supposed Creek Indian indigene against Attorneys John and James C. Hutcheson, literally tore to shreds the alleged fraud case instituted here against these young men several months ago. When the highest legal tribunal in the country outlawed and invalidated that state statute, the Texas legislature passed another law empowering the state to impose a duty of suffrage in such party primary elections to such citizens as they deemed eligible or worthy to cast a ballot at such elections in this state; and it was under this statutory provision that the Democratic party leaders excluded Ne Prior to their removal to Houston, Mesars, Wesley and Atkins were engaged in the practice of law in Oklahoma, with offices at Muskegue and Tulsa, the other member of their firm being Charles A. Chandler, who fell heir to the firm's legal practice after the other two attorneys retired from the law field to engage in business in Houston. But, brother, you have another ought coming. When I arrived at the hospital, I was pointed at a pointed hour, imagine my surprise to find two young men, and the precinct In the face of the Democratic party action and court rulings, our black Democratic colleagues, who have been whooping it up for Al Smith and his jackass party, are placed in a very embarrassing position; for the state and sectional leaders of the donkey party have told the Negroes in no uncertain way that they are neither wanted nor desired in the Democratic party household. Naturally, my mind ran back to two years ago, when a certain telephone in a particular office in this city was almost rung off the wall by interested and overanxious colored voters inquiring, "Where do we vote?" And from others, "We have walked our legs of trying to locate our polling place; can't you help us locate it?" When it became necessary for Attorneys Wesley and Atkins to bring suit against Chandler for $4,000 over-due them for law books and other things sold Chandler when they left Oklahoma, their "grateful" protege countered by filing this fraud suit in the federal court. In rendering his decision, Federal Judge Hutcheson scored Chandler for instigating and pressing the case, the court asserting that "it has always been true that it is a bad bird that fouls its own nest, and it is doubly true when a person holding a license to practice law, is willing for a contingent compensation to blacken his own name and that, of his former associates with The Informer wonders if these black Democrats really know "what it is all about" in their proffered support of Governor Smith and Senator Robinson, Democratic nominees for president and vice-president, respectively, of the United States, when the hostile attitude of that party towards the Negro is so traditionally well known! A few short hours previous to the convening of this precinct meeting, the entire state and even the nation was holding its breath awaiting the decision of the United States district judge, which was to say whether the Negro should be permitted to cast his vote in the democratic primary. The echoes from the awful cries of the Negro delegates over the action of the republican executive committee at Kansas City, in refusing these colored brothers seats in the National Republican Convention, have not yet ceased to reverberate through the hills and valleys of this great Southland of ours, and here I find two young men and an elderly precinct chairman, awaiting the coming of the expected throng who "are willing to fight for their rights," and the vast majority of whom haven't come up to this good time. Suppose the Democratic national ticket is victorious at the November election and some untwanted and unfortunate incident should transpire and the Arkansas senator should become chief executive of the state race fare with Nerzopoulos in the presidential chair? Still discussing Chandler, the court said: "Fortunately for Chandler, the only fraud which I find in connection with this case is his fraud in making a claim against the plaintiff. In the case of Chandler and the plaintiff (Ingram), entirely acquires the defendants (Wesley and Atkins) of any fraud in their relations with plaintiff, either in the acquisition of the trust, the matter of compensation, or their acquisition of the debt." When the Democratic vice-presidential candidate was running for governor of Arkansas several years ago, he went over the state raising the "race issue" and literally rode into office and power by denying, deriding and decrying the black race; yet some of these black people, who can so soon forget and forgive wrongs perpetrated upon them by scheming and designing politicians, now claim that they are perfectly willing to help elect the demagogue to the second highest elective office in the country. In his denunciation and excoriation of Chandler for his part in the "trumped" allegations of fraud, rascality and overreaching on the part of Attorneys Wesley and Atkins, the court further stated; Perhaps they are discouraged and "regulated." No doubt they have given up and are saying, "What's the use?" As I sat there, awaiting the throng which, like the groom in the old song, who left the bride awaiting at the church, my mind did quite a bit of rambling. I saw my people and myself standing between the devil and the deep blue sea. Born and nurtured under republican influences, taught from infancy that the "grand old party" was the ship while all else was the sea, and to have lived long enough to discover that as big as the old ship is supposed to be, it is fast becoming too small to shelter our group. I thought of Perry W. Howard, Ben J. Davis, Walter L. Cohen, Robert ("Bob") Church. I recalled those days when it was almost as dangerous to call a Negro a democrat to his face as it formerly was to apply the term liar to a Texan. "The defendants' answer also alleged that Chandler, the moving spirit in this litigation for plaintiff, was a member of the firm of Wesley and Akkins at the time of the doing of all of the allegations against him, and that he was the member of the trust deed from the plaintiff and of the payment to defendants of $15,000, and that he (Chandler) was and has been at all times familiar with every act and thing done in the estate with reference to plaintiff, initiating and counseling many of the defendants, and that he has made these allegations as to Chandler were abundantly established, and if there was any fraud as alleged by Chandler for plaintiff, Chandler not only convicts himself of it, but presents himself in the even more disgraceful act of taking employment on a contingent basis of 30% to recover from his co-conspirators the If a Negro can not be a Democrat in a primary election held by that party, how can he be a Democrat in a national election? If the Negro is denied the right to participate in a Democratic party primary election, where state, county and city officials are elected, by what course of logic can he consistently and consciously support and vote for the presidential anvice-president-standard-bearer of the Democratic party in a national election? If the Democrats have the political and constitutional right to exclude citizens from their partisan activities because of "color, creed or previous condition of servitude," we wonder why the party leaders do not ban Mexicans, Italians, Greeks and other foreign elements from participation in such primary elections? Can any citizen style himself as a Democrat, that party denies him the right to cast a vote in its primary elections, and consistently support and vote for the presidential and vice-president-standard-bearer of the Democratic party in a state and nation? Not in the memory of the Informer has any judge of a local court, state or federal, so castigated and exposed a member of the legal profession as Judge Hutcheson has done in Chandler's case, and it appears to this paper that such a lawyer should be disbarred from the practice of law, and steps should be taken at once to cancel Chandler's license. Still the crowd is conspicuous by its absence. Where are the "spunky" women of our group? Surely, if the men are too busy, they (the women) will forego their housecleaning and other domestic affairs long enough to spend one hour at a meeting which two short years ago they were willing to walk through blood to participate in. It is to be regretted that the Negro race is the only minority group in America which is forced to wage almost incessant legal battles for the enjoyment and exercise of the same rights and prerogatives vouchsafed to all American citizens; being the only racial contingent continually victimized by class legislation of a vicious type, based wholly and solely on the ground of color. It has been interesting to watch the reactions of local Negroes to this fraud suit, the filing of which was played up in all the newspapers of the city, two weekly sheets here giving it unusual prominence on their front pages; but when the court exonerated Messrs. Wesley and Atkins from all charges made in the original petition, which sought to place three Houston corporals in the courtroom receiver, if any of these colored papers carried a single line out of the outcome of the case, it has escaped our eye and attention. Yes, here comes two ministers, good and true, and three ladies—God bless them! The convention is complete—nine in all, counting this writer. G. O. P. NEEDS STRONG CANDIDATE My old mind wouldn't leave that death and the deep blue sea propose that I had to learn to swim. I would use to scat, run, jump overboard; you are not needed. Since all else is dead, you are not needed. You are clasped as this sea, or a great part of it is dead. And from all indications, you are dead. The Republican leaders of Texas, if they are wise and do not fall down on their holden job, should nominate a strong candidate for governor of this state, who will contest with Governor Dan Moody for the office at the general election. In this connection, the daily white newspapers were farther than the Negro sheets, for the former, while not playing up the decision in the lengthy manner as they did the filing of the suit, did give publicity to the final outcome of the case. While The Informer is more or less independent in politics, this paper will not support nor endorse the administration of the governor. The information provided in the date will have a herculean job mapped out for him in opposing the present Democratic occupant of the governor's mansion, this paper holds to the view that a large protest vote against Moody's will be the nominal nominee, will be an effort made in the right direction. Many of our people, when the suit was originally filed, just knew that these two young men were "crooked" and that they were in some "questionable transactions," and the "knowing ones" (and the "inventing") were profile and promiscuous with their advice to persons doing business or planning to transact business with the local corporations with which Messrs. Wesley and Atkins are question uppermost in my mind, and people appreciate a court decision in the case of an avail themselves of the opportunity given them to go to the polls in great success, and to be made an excessive expenditure of money, and time which is being made for our bensimilar purpose, and we want, or are we making a pretence and fooling nobody as much as we are, and we want men in the scriptures who would not use the one talent he possessed, lost Governor Moody's tacit acceptance with Al Smith and Tammany Hill and his failure to "carry on" the recent national parity of the Republican leadership in another way should suggest the political situation now obtaining in this state, should suggest to the Republican leaders that a formidable candidate for governorship is needed. Many local Negroes, even before they knew the nature of the case, condemned and convicted these two race attorneys and chuckled up their sleeves, some even extending this paper condolence and shedding crocodile tears that its career should be hampered and cut short by having such alleged "crooks" as milius and in the corporation owning and publishing The Houston Informer. Houston Churches Houston Churches Standing out above all Republicans now being mentioned for the nomination, looms Hon. T. P. Lee of Houston—a citizen of the first rank, a man of means whose executive ability is unquestioned, and a worthy asset to any political party. ... Now, since Judge Hutcheson, after judicially going into the case, impartially weighing all evidence and reaching his decision after a full and thorough investigation of the evidence introduced during the hearing, holds that Attorneys Wesley and Atkins were honest, open and above-board in all their deals, transactions and relations with and for Ingram, and completely abstemious from any wrong-doing of any character. The Informer wonders what the "wise ones" and "know alls" will say and do now. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH 702 West Dallas Mr. Lee is not a politician, strictly a criminal. Mr. Lee is after public office and honors; but he is intimately interested in his state and party, and it is our opinion that he would accept the nomination if tendered him without his solicitation, or without the necessity of being forced to wage a campaign for the nomination.

Lovell, Pastor In the opinion of The Informer, Mr. Lee's nomination for this post will do more to reunite and solidify the warring Republican factions in Texas than any other man the Republicans can select; and, if the party leaders in this state are really anxious and determined to up a party in Texas and really contend to the Democrats, no better choice than Mr. Lee could be made just now. The Informer wishes to congratulate Messas, Wesley and Atkins upon this signal and sweeping victory, although this paper regrets that they were forced to employ legal counsel and spend time in court to defend themselves in a suit which was neither warranted nor justified.

Epworth communication services continued; short sermon: "Keeping the Channels of The Holy Writ teaches that he who builds a scaffold or digs a ditch for his neighbor, is more than likely to be the person to hang from the gallows or fall into the ditch; while there is a lea- der who holds that "he who would seek equity must come with clean hands." With such a high-type candidate as Mr. Lee in the race, and with so much anti-Smith sentiment in this state, Texas would see a kind of political campaign without precedent in the annals of this commonwealth.

The Bible Institute taught and all present highly benefited. Sunday was a high day at the institute. It is hoped that the various Republican county conventions, which will be held throughout Texas Saturday, August 4, will endorse Mr. Lee for the gubernatorial nomination, and send delegates to the Fort Worth convention to see that his nomination is assured. THE MIRROR (Continued From Page One) leaders in the South have fallen out and come to the parting of the ways over the question of patronage distribution and barter of public offices. We have seen that the citizens and we presume that no investigation will be made of their activities. We are going to have a full investigation of alleged sale of federal offices in the South, why not have a full investigation instead of a partial investigation, because certain party leaders because of their color* are investigating the postoffice department for sale of offices, suppose these probes and assistant attorney-general investigate the treasury department for facts about the large income tax rebates and certain official* connections finally, we suggest an investigation of other rotten conditions obtaining in many Southern states, in particular, the corruption of numerous constitutional amendments and other abortions of the Constitution not identified with the Negro race.
