Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) -Morris Jr. secretary of the Third Ward Republican Club of Chicago, private secretary to John D. Petrish, the former Illinois District and who attended the Republican National Convention veto that Mr. Hoover will be elective and all indications point to a greater Republican solidarity than ever before recorded.
The veto that predicted Chicago and Cook County will undoubtedly roll up a Republican margin on the southern states may result in the southern states may result in an expected support to the Republican party. The Republican Party has some participation on the part of colored citizens in that part of the country.
He thinks that "Negro voters throughout the nation can be dependable with our vote, not so much from the viewpoint of any debt to the Republican party, for what it has done and in the firm belief that, in community with the Republican party, it has Kansas City platform to have about our colored citizens, it still remains our only hub for the Republican party, to deserve full liberty and personal freedom, it is the good dinner for a glam of beer or drink of whisky, to enjoy these days for thinking.

There are hundreds of recipes for whole-meat salads, but almost any collection of salad ingredients may be made up and served. A bed of lettuce leaves; segments of pineapple orange and cantaloupe; a little whipped cream; and a touch of sweetened lemon juice; and a strawberry as a topper—this is one that may be as a starter. It is light, easy to digest and filled with the vitamins, minerals and salts so needed to balance the summer diet.

SILVER SERVICE
ADDS PLEASURE
TO SIMPLE MEAL
However important a breakfast bowl never serves will as much elaborate dresser. Dolliies are frequently used in the cloth, and a silver bowl filled with sugar and the sole decoration. Silver salt and pepper shakers are provided for each dish so be used with the glans finger bowls served with the fruit; other desserts are all of the same covers are all of the glams, porcelain or glass. Many lovely vividly colored peanuts and peanuts-paw-ware are presented especially for breakfast use, and the quaint designs is also very popular. Silver covers are used on serving dishes on individual plates of hot cakes, accompanied by a small syrup jar with a silver top. The American breakfast served the year around, follows the same ample proportions the English breakfast, namely, fruit, cereal, eggs and toast or rolls and coffee—and, in addition, serve waffles or hot cakes with syrup.
With the arrival of the eggs, the coffee service, consisting of a silver bowl and a waste bowl on a silver tray, is brought in and placed before the hostess, who pours the coffee. She serves it to her knowledge of each individual's taste, or the cream and sugar may be her knowledge of each person themselves. When a cup is returned to be refilled she empties the dregs into the waste bowl before pouring the coffee. Where a buffet breakfast is served in the dining room and trays are carried in a silver coffee service, each tray is designed for the trays. Each tray is set with a tray clay and decorated with a fresh flower. And silver cups should be provided for all the hot and toast. Fortunately, for the convenience of the tray service, the American breakfast has lately shown a French model, which includes merely fruit and rolls or toast with coffee. The recognition that nerves are unsettled in the early morning hours has led to less food, served as dainty and convenient as modern appointments permit.

OUR WOMEN DID BUSINESS
The convention of the National Association of Women's Clubs has just closed in Washington; but before closing the girls of the group have handed the masculine superiority a mighty wallop. Those women, and please be reminded that they were a mighty high-calibrated bit of people, and all the people will be present to have talked for a many years. They DID business, while their business of assorted ages have for time immemorial heen TALKING business.
This is no running report of the convention. Better reporters have broadcast that story. Just two episodes will be mentioned, two barbies that are intended as prods to our lagging man of business. One has to do with filmmakers and the other with business-minded speaches about "no-operation, patronizing of race institutions and making our money talk for" all by the males of the species. They had none of this stuff and nonsense in their meeting. They simply divided the tussy-fanks into three parts; placed part of it on deposit with the St. Lulu's Bank in Eichendorf, of which Maggie L. Walker is president; another part in the Presidential National Association of Women's Clubs State Bank of Chicago, headed by Jense Binga, who was represented in the commotion by Mrs. Ethel Gavin of the promotion department of the Chicago Council. Incidentally, Mrs. Gavin is one of the clearest and best pointed financiers of the group without regard to sex. Her type is explained with the statement that after the convention activities were concluded, she spent a half day studying business data and statistics, and she was able to persuade the Commerce, while others sought and found more plausible sociable reactions from the labors of the sessions of which she was one of the secretaries. Mrs. Walker, widely known for her activities of a financial character, attends a convention where she is sage to her body, though an unimaginous instinct continues her as a dominant personage wherever she may elect to present herself. There was a conference where she donated a check for five hundred dollars.
Three banks in three widely separated cities are deputies of the N. A. C. W. funds. The bank that permanent headquarters at 8th and O streets, N. W., in Washington, A $150,000 three-story brick building of ample proportions set on a corner and flanked by trees on a lawn that promises room for future growth, that is being equipped for functioning precisely as do nearly all banks. The bank that tells its own story. With this building humming a staff, the N. A. C. W. C. enters the same category with the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Women's Vote's League, American Manufacturers' Association, the National Women's Vote's League, American Manufacturers' Association, administrative life, affects publicity and public opinion, and provides adequately for assisting members having business at the capital. The Business League has been talking about doing that sort of thing for years. The organizations have hinted at the same idea, but the WOMEN HAVE DONE IT!

The incident on which the award was based took place on July 30, 1927, when a mob numbered 700 gathered around the Union County jail with the purpose of lynching Albert Simpson, colored, accused of the shooting of a white man. Sheriff Greer, calling in his deputies and members of the local and rural police, stood off the mob until he could communicate with Governor Warner, who were immediately dispatched and arrived within less than an hour.

RACE DEMOCRATS PRESS FIGHT FOR RIGHT TO VOTE
(By W. H. MITCHELL)
Another chapter was begun in the history of the fight launched here recently by O. P. DeWalt and J. B. Griggs, beaked color business men who participated in the councils of the Democratic party, when Judge R. D. Hutcheson, for the Houston men, filed notice Monday of appeal from the recent decision to dismiss Judge Hutcheson, Jr., as precipitated when the state and county executive committees, acting under a Texas state, which gave them the right to vote, refused to allow Negroes to vote in the primaries, and placed on the ballot a white Democrat, etc." This was claimed by Meagre, Greybeard and DeWalt, who argued that the part of the state of Texas to the fight was begun in the form of an injunction aid to 'restrain Gay' committee and some auxiliary election judges from barring Negroes from voting July 25, plaintiffs contending their rights as citizens and as members of the Democratic party had
When Judge Hutchison held that the Democratic party is a voluntary organization, he qualified the qualifications of its members, and this view was further entertained by Judge Dwarf West at San Jose, where he predicted by local Democrats that this case could not reach the United States within one year. With the filing of this appeal, the opus of the case is now held that violation of the fourthteen and fifteenth amendments be the bases of contention of the plaintiff, the supreme tribunal. This view is supported by a clerk, who pointed out that only certain types of cases may be so appealed. Hutchison, from whom an order must be obtained before the appeal is entered, has been in New Orleans to an important case, Judge Evans expresses willing to be his first business on his return. Judge Evans expresses willing to amount the court may deem necessary, declaring that the plaintiffs themselves aggreved by the order." Editor's note: Since writing the story, Judge Hutchison has denied

2. (Determination of Barnabas) v. 37.
1. He was supplicants of Mark because of his descent on a former journey (Acts 13:13)
1. Their connection (v. 20:41)
1. Their connection was no sharp that they separated. God covered this in cipher to the wider extension of the missionary work to Paul; Chose Silan, and went through Syria and Vilicia.
2. Finding Timothy (10:1-5)
1. It was the very place where Paul on his first journey and endured stoning. The conversion of Timothy was the result of Paul's testimony at that time.
His mother was a believing Jewes and his father a Greek. (13) His character (x 3). He was a pupil in the church at Lystra and Icacum. (14) His circumcision (x 3).

The vision (v. 9). Being hewn in on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of the earth made clear the meaning of the closed doors about him. 2. The advance (v. 10-12). As the advance the divine way was known to move forward. Visions to be effective, must be quickly translated into aggressive action. 3. First Conquest in Europe (v. 13-15). The Jewish emperor in Philippe was small that was unable to offer sympathy to the people who were accustomed to worship by the riveride. To a humble gathering a lady of the business, a business woman from Thyria, believed. The steps in her conversion are worthy of note, as typical. 1. Attendance at the place of worship. 1. Usually those God is calling are found at the place of prayer. 2. Listening to the preceding of the

New York City—(ANP)—Following the recent appointment of Solomon Harper as a representative of the Edison Company, friction has arisen among white salesmen of the same company who seem to respect Harper's position. In the office, they have to reports here, when Harper's customers, to whom he had sold large consignments of electrical equipment, are suffected to other companies as the operators would say that they did not have a loss of much business to the company and in commissions to Harper. The Manufacturing Company is standing squarely behind Harper and insists that he be retained by the company, with J. F. Kelly, in charge of commercial relations of the Edison Company, matter under investigation and has promised to go into the case thoroughly.

BOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1928
AN ATTEMPT TO BLUFF DEMOCRATS!
The attitude assumed by the Democratic party parley held at Austin, last Saturday, which plans to "read out of the party" all Democrats who refuse to support and vote for the Al Smith presidential electors in the November general election, is another hold attempt on the part of these scared partisan chieftains to bluff and bulldoze members of the party into standing hard and firm by the presidential ticket this year.
Verily, there is confusion in the Democratic ranks of Dixieland, and party leaders are at their very wits' end to evolve some plan to retain their hold upon the thousands of partisan adherents who are openly exposing the cause and candidacy of Hon Herbert C. Hoover, Republican presidential nominee.
Threats of divers and sunny nature have made against Democrats the party's most resolute and residential standard-bearer of the party's party, such an act being considered as political heresy by the "faithful," many of whom are yelling "Smith and Robinson," but who will will either vote for Hoover and Curtis or find it convenient to be absent from the polls on general election day.
Base appeals to race prejudice and sectional antipathy were made to the alleged "bolters" at the Austin conference, one speaker citing attention to carpeting days, Negro soldiers with bayonets pitted at the people of the South during reconstruction days, cleried office holders and the fact that the Democratic party is not a party of the South is why are Smith's national campaign directors contemplating a nationwide effort to enlist Negro voters?
If these Smith Democrats of the South are consistent and justified in seeking support of their presidential candidate by seeking to incite racial prejudice, class distinction and bigotry, if they agitate the sectionalism issue, why can't the Democrats opposed to Smith justify their attitude by his stand on the moral and social issues of prohibition, his Tammany Hall connections, and even his religious views? In his gubernatorial campaigns in the Empire State, Governor Smith has supported the support and votes of Nerrores, and Tammany Hall has been able to retain its hold upon a large number of colored New Yorkers because the party leaders in that city have seen to it that black Democrats were the recipients of certain political emoluments and preferments.
Moreover, Governor Smith has campaigned for the votes of "carpetpaint Yankees," and, since New York is normally a Republican state, it stands to reason that "niggers" and "Yankees" have helped to make possible his election and retention of the highest elective post in that state!
In appealing to the voters of the South to support and vote for Mr. Hoover, the Republican leaders are not resorting to such heeling tactics and guttersome methods; but they are appealing to
Dixie Democrats, who have the moral courage to state that they prefer Hoover to Smith, are being referred to as "Hoover nigrier" Democrats," and as advocates and proponents of the doctrine of "social equality," yet some of these same Democratic denouncers are guilty of practicing "social equality" with colored men, and are engaging in the earth and darkness holds dominion over their respective sections.
"The Negro question" is not the issue in the present presidential campaign, neither is the "carpetgang Yankees," as so many of our Democratic colleagues are so blatantly contending just now; but the real issue is both moral, social and constitutional and gnaws at the very vitals of our body politic.
Without the Negro votes in the pivotal and debatable states, the Democrats can never hope to elect a president of the United States; and, while many of these black citizens have professed an anti-Negro stance, they can not consistently and honorably support him in the face of the bitter and hostile anti-Negro attitude assumed by so many Democratic leaders and supposed Smith leaders in the South.
This also goes for "carpetgang Yankees," who are also coming in for much vehement denunciation and severe exorcitation at the hands and lips of Dixie Democrats of Smith persuasion.
Has the Democratic household of the South reached such a stage in its partisan career that direful forebodings, of an imaginary and prejudicial nature, must be pictured to the members of the party in order to keep them hood-tied to the Democratic party.
In it a fact that the "solid South" remains Democratic merely and principally because the "Negro question," and that the issue of sectionalism must be raised every quadrimen in order to prevent any defection from the party ranks in "Bam."
If the Dixie-Smith supporters are against Nominee Hoover because the Republican party passed the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the national constitution, we won't be able to vote. The Republican Party is the Houston convention of their party went on record as favor.
ing the strict enforcement and observance of ALL constitutional amendments? The Democrats, or those of any other Southern state, decide to exclude all "bolters" from future participation in partisan affairs, that is their business. But The Informer wishes to here warn them that such action might prove a boomerang; and this paper would like to know if American citizens, even "bolting" Southern Democrats, still have any objections to the provisions of the bills of rights and constitutions of the several states and the national government? Or is the attempted move nothing more or less than a "bluff" to frighten Dixie Democrats into swallowing the presidential proclamation? Or is it the attempt to place in its perennial role of being "solid" from more than one angle?
HOOVER'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
In his speech, delivered at Palo Alto, California, last Saturday, accepting the presidential nomination by the Republican party, Hon. Herbert C. Hoover sounded the keynote of the campaign for 1928, and demonstrated beyond the shadow of a double threat that he is a statesman of the first rank and well qualified to direct the ship of the for the first four or eight years.
Discussing both domestic and international problems, Mr. Hoover showed that he has a grasp on such matters possessed by few, if any, of his peers; and, instead of stating that he would be a statesman of the first rank, a study certain question carefully outlined his policy and charted the way for continued peace, prosperity and happiness.
No man in American life is more conversant with national needs and issues than Mr. Hoover, and his allusion to a program of construction during the succeeding years, as compared to a program of reconstruction following the succeeding years," but that he is of presidential timber, and an able executive in his own rights.
His unequivocal stand for the strict enforcement of the constitution and its amendments; his advocacy of a sound and rational three-fold basis for farm relief; his proposed plan for reorganization of the marketing system; his proposal of an adequate tariff; his preemachment of the doctrine of religious neutrality; his support of plans for developing national water resources and conservation of natural resources; his program for protecting and stimulating small business; his modus operandi as it relates to industry and business; his economic policy and international peace program; his admitted conception of the office of president and his general grasp of all issues confronting the American electorate, prove conclusively that America is in safe and sound hands when it is in the administration of the president.
In his persecution Mr. Hoover said: "The presidency is more than an administrative office. It must be the symbol of American ideals. The high and the lowly must be seen with the same eyes; met in the same spirit. It must be the instrument by which national conscience is enlivened, and it must, under the guidance of the Almighty, interpret and follow that conscience. Mr. Hoover bemoaned the fact that time did not permit him, in his acceptance speech, to discuss other issues, but assured the nation that at a subsequent time he would deal with the following propositions: Development of waterways, highways, aviation, irrigable lands, foreign trade and merchant marine, the promotion of education, more effective administration of our criminal laws, the promotion of the environment, the primary necessity of conservation of natural resources, measures for further economy in government and reduction of taxes.
Taken by and large, Mr. Hoover's speech has placed the Democratic nominee and his party on the defensive, and has strengthened and fortified the belief that he is the most available man for the highest elective office within the gift of the American electorate.
Finally, the presidential candidacy of Mr. Hoover is in the hands of his campaign managers and directors, and the success of his campaign lies wholly and solely in their hands, and The Informer, one of the original Hoover supporters, hopes that the campaign will be working with the standing and statemanship of the party nominee.
Again we wish to reiterate our pre-convention slogan: Hoover—Harmony—Happiness!
FRATERNAL COHESION IS NEEDED
Having attended the grand lodges of the Texas Odd Fellows for several years, and having been a member of the order for many years, the editor of The Informer (please pardon the personal reference) has often observed that the cabinet of this fraternity is woefully weak when it comes to working together for the best interests of the organization. Whatever the Texas officers may have done to improve the conditions there is not enough cohesion (sticking together) on the part of the official family; and we are saying this in a spirit of fraternal criticism, knowing that no institution or organization can function efficiently and effectively unless there is cooperation and teamwork.
There must be a head to any movement or undertaking, and the success of the movement or undertaking depends upon the success of the organization accorded the leader by his official staff and supporters.
Racially speaking, we have not yet reached the stage in our development where we are willing to submit to leadership of our own choosing and selection; but we often submit, whether willingly or unwillingly, to a superimposed leadership.
The Odd Fellows of this state must not only learn and practice the skills of leadership, but we must be progressive and progressive secret fraternities of Texas, its leaders must not only work in harmony and accord, but reorganization and realignment seem to be imperative.
Since Negro fraternal organizations not only serve their immediate members and their families, but play no small part in serving the race and social fabric, the public has much interest in the success, permanency and perpetuity of such organizations, and the success of the lines, of a commercial or business nature, have been achieved through the channels of secret orders and insurance corporations.
Not only is this true in the ranks of the "three link" fraternity, but it is true with every organization, order, movement or venture. Only is passed when any order or fraternity can expect to maintain its hold upon its members, or make favorable impression upon outsiders by merely citing attention to the principles and tenets of the order; unless behind this preachment of principles there is something in the order which appeals to the practical side of man in this life rather than certain considerations to his surviving family after his demise. The most important of these is the crown the efforts of any organized body; for organization presupposes self-alzhenge, unity, teamwork and co-ordination of forces, and the spirit of selffashion, greed and avarice, and desire for unlimited power will ultimately wreck and destroy any organization or undertaking of a cooperative nature. The Odd Fellows of Texas must have a new program and should be done at the Galveston glove lodge, next August.

I sometimes wonder if the state's constitution has a double standard of political ethics. Do they intend that and Negro citizens should interpellate the Republican and Democratic parties on national platforms to enforce the constitution in all of its parts and to prevent a total abolition of purpose? Does any citizen who has passed beyond intellectual bounds intend to enforce the fourteenth amendment, if successful in the com-munication with the Republicans has such intent?
I wonder if there is a sinister reason for the separation of constitution which affect white men will be observed, and the separation of Negro exclusively are to be ignored by tacit consent? That part of the Constitution, the rights of property, is been insisted upon with judicial right, being the production of representation, of which the Negro alone was supposed to be subject to guilty commendation of both parties.
Let us have peace. But it should be the peace of the rights of the Negro but the peace of righteousness in all American citizens can replicate.
The Negro has been the bone of connection between the North and South in the government. This issue became acute and culminated in the Civil War. The Negro, from time immemorial, has been the beneficiary of the North's protection and the victims and the victim of their reconciliation. Frederick Douglas used to dey the coming together of the Negroes to equality. The great religions of the North meant disaster to the Negro's claims to equality. The great religions of the North meant disaster to the Negro's slavery. The Northern contingent thereon made the brother in black their special charge to keep. The Negro's days began to fade away, the estranged factions of the household of the Negroes remained in remission to the allegiance of the Negro to ship of the several communities. The economic and political domain in the economy had a tragedy that It the Negro must be the beneficiary of hostility and sections and the victim of remission.

President Coolidge's bid for recruitment, therefore, has a deeper signee. He will argue that if the Negro were out of the equation, there would be no longer any to complete healing of the wounds. The black man still stands atward the path. He is never sidetracked if the Negro is Southern senators during the heated issue over the Dyer anti-lynching bill. The white race would never again become vitally divided on account of the Negro. The hope seems to be rapidly growing.
The grand lodge of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows and Household of Ruth, which held forth the first anniversary plans for celebrating the order's fifth anniversary or golden jubilee at Galveston next August, and Grand Grand Mott. Noble Governor Julia Caldwell-Cadray were delegated with authority to designate a statewide plan for the anniversary celebration.
If the heads of the order do not meet with the history, traditions and accomplishments of this great Fraternal Order, the half-hearted effect will be
The South protests rabids against the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the situation. Any insistence upon such a protest in the face of a bill. President Coolidge cannot live up to his call to the United States to ratify the constitution of the United States without upsetting his own counsel. Is it to be considered better to the peace between the sections or to the United States? Is the price of the peace to the sacrifice of the older men to the denial of the black man's rights?
To this end we suggest that a multiple committee be appointed at once, so that the members can be credible celebration, and that the ability of the committeemen and committeeors be considered rather than the number of years in the order.

President Coolidge several weeks ago wrote to the National Association of Teachers, asking the People, commending their good work. This organization is devoted to securing for the Negro a full measure of rights under the constitution. It assures the ire of the South. Mr. Coolidge urges this militant body to continue its work. The People still time deplores anything that arose Southern bitterness and resentment. I am somewhat at a loss to reconcile seemingly contradictory attitudes.
Through-Masonic aid and grand fundage (as we have been reliable in the past), the grand body takes care of the annual deficit of this printing plant), this institution considerably cheaper than any other race printer in the country, and the policy has worked to the disadvantage of several other Negro print shops in the state. (and this suggestion is made in a friendly spirit for the Pantherville Masonic owned and operated printing plant is not intended to publish business, per se) that the Masons of this state could use their growing more after the widows and orphans of deceased members of the Masons to other invaluable and charitable causes than by continuing the practice of underwriting the annual deficit due to virtually taking jobs for nothing.
