Figh THE MIRROR The way these colored fans root and pull for the Spudders is really a treat. We always thought that colored Houstonians led in this practice, but the race fans in Wichita Falls are both enthusiastic, witty and boisterous. They call the Buffs the "young Cardinals." Unless the Buffs can get better pitching and hitting, they will finish second to the Spudders in the second half and will find it difficult to whip the Spudders in a post-season play-off for the league championship. The Buffs do not play enough "inside ball," it takes too many hits for the team to make a score. "We have observed this at home and abroad—too many hits are wasted and the team hits into entirely too many double plays. The bunting game is not employed enough when the first man gets on base, and during the recent two-game series at Fort Wichita and the first game at Wichita Falls saw the Buffs hit into at least nine or ten double plays. Just now the Spudders are playing the best ball of any team in the minor leagues, while the Buffs appear to be in a terrible slump, with Manager Snyder hobbling with a lame foot, and Catcher Jonnard in almost as bad a fix. The team really needs another good right-hand hurler, a twirler of the strike-out variety. Those readers of this column, who are not interested in baseball, will please pardon this feature of our article. But it just happens that the conductor of this column is a baseball "bug" and is anxious to see Houston cop the Texas League pennant and annex the Dixie championship.

RACE INSURANCE COMPANY BEGINS IN EMPIRE STATE New York City—(ANP) - Permission has just been granted by the insurance department of the state of New York, to the National Negro Fraternal Association to solicit membership up to $1,000. It is the first such organization among Negroes in this state, and was organized and is being directed by C. Benjamin Curley.

South Carolina Negro Contests Governor For Cancelling His Release National Association For the Advancement of Colored People Lends Financial Assistance To Unfortunate Black—Court Battle To Test Governor's Power To Revoke Pardon—White Woman Repudiates Recent Affidavit. New York City—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has sent its check for $50 to aid in the fight being made in behalf of Ben Bess, South Carolina Negro, pardoned after 13 years in jail upon a white woman's confession that she had falsely accused him. Attorneys for Ben Bess are fighting an attempt by the governor to revoke his pardon, the white woman having retracted her confession of perjury. N. J. Frederick, colored attorney of Columbia, S. C., in charge of the case, informed the N. A. A. C. P. that court argument was to be held on Wednesday on the question whether the original affidavit from the white woman, on the basis of which Ben Bess was pardoned, was obtained by fraud.

A. C. A. P. from Charles W. White, president of the Cleveland branch of the association. Dr. John H. McMories, according to Mr. White, on July 20, was appointed to the surgical out-patient staff of the hospital, this action coming as the result of several years of agitation by colored citizens of Chicago for such appointments and against the establishment of a segregated hospital for Negroes. The success thus far gained in the Ohio city is the second victory towards admission of qualified physicians and specialists to nurses to the staffs of municipal hospitals in metropolitan areas. Some years ago, after many years of agitation and effort, Negro medical men and nurses were appointed to the staff of the New York City hospitals, and have served with notable success. Mr. White's letter on the victory in Newfoundland states that he glad to know that on July 20, Dr. John H. McMories was appointed to the surgical department of the New York City Hospital. This appointment marks the first concession for a Newfoundland city hospital to the culmination of several years' effort on the part of groups and organizations in the opportunity there. The effort became more intensified and more intelligently directed last fall and led to the appointment of a public welfare, which visited some of the hospital staff and learned what had been done elsewhere with reference to admitting patients to the hospital staff on a parity with the McMories was the only colored member of the McMories his appointment carries out the one favorable recommendation of that "We are not content that the mast reach," the Cleveland branch reco- talls too. "We are not content to a unification of effort on the part of the several groups and individuals that we have worked with in the purpose of this now united group to stand on until at least one other group." WOMAN SLAYER IS ELECTROCUTED Louisville, K.Y.—(ANP)—William Moore, who was electrocuted recently at Eddyville for the murder of a woman in this city and whose funeral services were held at the Emanuel Baptist Church, Rev J. H. Perdue, pastor, left the following letter, which was read at his funeral last week: “People may talk and wonder, but I know and God knows best and I am praying to our Saviour and waiting on His call. “I have sinned and I have been for given. Lots of people wanted to know why I wanted my funeral at church and I wanted my friends to know what I had to say. After I professed a hope in Christ, I lived in my church as a consistent Christian until I strayed away, getting in bad company. It broke up my happy home and caused me to lose my life, but God has beaten me with many stripes and brought me back to the fold. “I hope my life will be a lesson to all married men, but now, my soul is ready. I don't hold a myth in my against any one. I am more sorry for my life and mother than I am for myself.” “Farewell in this life, it will be only a short while, we will be separated from each other. Farewell, may God watch over you.” Signed—William Moore. NORDIC ATTACKERS BEING SOUGHT IN KENTUCKY CITY Louisville, Ky. - (P.N.S.) Several weeks ago three girls were race arrests in Louisville, Ky., by white men, who have not as yet been captured. a reward of $250 each for the arrest, and two more have been offered. The N. A. A. C.

McMorris is a graduate of Howard University in liberal arts and medicine and took his internship at Presbyterian College. He has been a professor at 1916 and is well thought of both by his fellow physicians and the local community. "It is worth mentioning that Lakeside Hospital, a private institution, furnished ample precedent for this belated concession on the part of the city officials. The University hospitals, of which Lakeside is a part, has four Negro physicians on their staff. Dr. Charles H. Garvin has been on the out-patient staff of Lakeside Hospital for the past eight years. Dr. Armen Evans is assigned to the well-baby dispensary, connected with the Babies' Hospital. Dr. Leon Evans is assigned to the tuberculosis dispensary at the Central Bath House. Dr. Brown graduated from Western Reserve University Medical School about three years ago with highest honors and he is a Cleveland product. Yet he was compelled to serve his internship at Freedmen's Hospital. It is significant that these four men work with white nurses, students, internes and social workers and have been doing so for a period of from eight years to six months."

Truck gardening was encouraged, and from a list furnished by a list furnished the Red Cross by the department of agriculture."

AUGUST 14, 1928 SILVER SERVICE ADDS PLEASURE TO SIMPLE MEAL IV.—Cool Silver for a Hot Breakfast The amount of silver used for breakfast depends altogether upon the type of breakfast served, and American breakfast habits vary widely. In the smartest houses, which employ a large staff of servants, the English custom is usually followed of serving a buffet breakfast in the dining room until nine, and breakfast trays to members of the family who rise later. Here breakfast is seldom a social, or even a family function. An exception may be noted in the case of Washington society, where breakfasts have an importance all their own, chiefly due to their status at the White House. It is said that in recent years more affairs of national consequence have been settled around the presidential breakfast table than in the committee halls of congress. When a member of congress dines at the White House, it is duly recorded in the society columns, but when re receives an invitation to a White House breakfast it is generally front page news. 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.

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! HELPING THE BUSINESS SIDE OF PHARMACY A Reprint from the Journal of the National Medical Association The pharmacist devotes his school years almost entirely to the acquirement of the professional and technical skills of the en先天circles, and the further and further selected for his life. He was also a firm of the circumstances sometimes permits the pharmacist to engage at once in business for himself, but more often the earlier stages of his active profession are not so far as to be the most important to the other others, usually lower salaried, have most to do with the distinctly mercantile features of the drug-store. The drug is a significant opening to the development, or the salaried pharmacist been adequately prepared in business administration. Nor do either of them have leisure enough in these earlier days, granted by the law, to be a firm of the business administration which is strictly expenive, sometimes bitter, becomes the educator. Ofting in it is the only one of the two who are the most competent elements of this many-old business and a one way to competence is marled with errors though not as much as one. The drug store is admittedly the greatest utility, novelty and accessory or convenience of any mercantile institution in the country. All of this is the most important of the business administration and functioning of a neighborhood social center, the "big brother" of the community, and at all times being a factor of consequence in local welfare. There is a responsibility resting upon the drugist that gives to his business and the service of the business and the service of the business and the responsibility, the drugist is entitled to such assurance as is available in his effort to meet the requirement imposed. The Domestic Service Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the United States, a helpful and a helpful hand to the drug business in many ways, ways that are not so often taken advantage of as its officials would like them to be. The drug-store is the most important of the business, and the many thousands of books, reports, magazine articles, research surveys and trade contributions of an authoritative character to sustain many findings. These over the whole of business and much of the material is applicable to the drug merchants. For illustration, mention will be made of two of the publications that may be found in the current library, one governmental and compiled by the board of the other authorities. In the case of the government, the board of the board of the university graduate school of business administrations; both excellent authorities and dependable sources of information. For example, the government publication, and the 140 pages of discussion of current business information, the eight chapters may be obtained for a twenty-eight pages, and eight chapters may be obtained for a twenty-eight pages. The simple explanation of some of the vexcients that beset retail merchants gives it the information. The Harvard publication is a direct and authentic treatise entitled "Operating Expenses in a Retail Drug Store" and if one would possess this significant information, it will be necessary to address the Harvard Bureau of Business Research. The second of the three book series, "Operating Expenses in a Retail Drug Store", a sixty-two page pamphlet containing a number of sample reviews and a list of the most well-known books that are as well as the chapters fully explaining the use of the Series. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce answers specific inquiries relating to business subjects without cost to any person seeking information. It might be well to self examine oneself on buying, management, depreciation, fixed charges, upkeep, expenses, gross cost, merchandise statements, and other other information. The book series is a�roversing and other selling, expense, sundry revenues, the sub-postal station, and the other books in its effects, wages of sales force, adjustments or the many other subjects incident to one's business. Perhaps personal of these books, or the other, are particular treatment on information might give a greater that of one's particular more optimistic view to the druggist who may have been, neglecting the mercan�ie while keeping fully abreast of the professional advances of his own. In the case of the other, the other of the business is an excellent instigand against the other learned competition. MRS. O. D.

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."

A white woman had Bess sent to the penitentiary thirteen years ago, for a third of a year on a that of "rape," although she had been living in adultery with him, under the consent of her husband, for years. Recently, this woman, thinking she was about to die, confessed the truth and had Bess pardoned. Newspapers all over the world used her confession as a fair example, indicating how it is not even Negroes can be convicted on the word of white people in the South. But—immediately the South was aroused, South Carolina in particular, that it would never do to let them know that a white woman who had sent a Negro to jail on a charge of rape, later confessed that she had simply been that Negro's paramour, with the consent of her husband—and that she and her husband decided to frame the Negro in revenge for the Negro's decision not to support the two of them any longer. No, No; it would look too bad for the "periphority" pretensions for the whites to allow a thing like that to come out. And so the state "detectives" go busy. They no doubt threatened to put this weak woman into the penitentiary. Finally she "confessed" again: that she only meant to "forgive" Ben Bess for what he had done to her, not to say he was not guilty. Who in thunder ever heard of any person looking up a judge and witness, and making a voluntary affidavit to "forgive" somebody for something? When one is going to forgive anybody, he does not need to look up anybody but God—and one would certainly not go into a South Carolina court to find Him. No such formality or legal process of affidavit and oath is necessary in order to "forgive" a fellow creature. This poor woman, we pity her more than we pity Bess. Perhehs the governor and the civilization of South Carolina ought to be pitied even more. So, the governor decides to revoke a pardon—an unheard of procedure. The awful case was so much commented on by the whole world that South Carolina's face must be saved, even if this poor weak woman's soul must be damaged by another lie. Well, we are not a bit surprised. Rather have we been looking for this. We've been looking for them in the first place. We'll got those state "detectives" never got wind of the fact that the woman have got them or she'd never have got the chance. A few years ago in Arkansas, a woman (women are superior in conformation) told the governor and told him that the whole charge of "rape" grew out of her and across her and this colored man in the act of kissing each other, that and the woman have saved her own reputation—and that she and the man had been brought together for fifteen years to have been a civilized state, to be governed by the confession, but the woman had been wise in that case, she had gone and confessed to the woman first and took a delegation along when she went to confess before she had simply confined an as an sane person—until after the execution was over. Even then the government had been civilized to have had civilization had to resort to a habeas corpus in a federal court to save this Farm products in the South for their use in the United States were 900,000,000,000 as against $4,777,000,000 for tire United States in 1910.

The petitioners set up the interesting content that by the very fact of this authorization those constituted agents of the state. "Pursuant to this legislation, it was alleged, the Democratic committee admitted Negroes to membership in the party, thereby preventing them from Upholding the Democratic primaries. Upholding the Democratic committee, Judge Hutcheson declared: "I know of no principle, neither have I found any affirming that the constitution and maintenance of business, as such, of political parties is any proper matter." "That observation naturally raises an inquiry to an whether under ex-commissioned status a governmental concern. Political parlay may have not in fact become a qualifying condition of the recognized legal machinery whereby voters register their wills in the state. The police power of the state involves the police in the frequent subjects of legislative and judicial investigation. States have given poles in primaries to parties which have polled given percentages of the vote under the amendments to the con- ENJOY THE AND T JOY THIS SUMMER AND TAKE NO CH New York Papers Display Interest In Primary Fight New York City.—Intense interest is being manifested by the daily newspapers of New York in the fight being made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on the newest attempt to bar Negroes from Democratic primaries in Texas and other Southern States. The�efed by the associated in the United States Supreme Court in 1927, when that court ruled that Texas had no right to enact a law saying that Negroes should not vote in Democratic primaries, the legislature promptly passed another law giving to political parties the right to determine the qualifications of members in these parties. The Democrats thereupon ruled that no Negro could participate in that party's primary elections, and were upheld in that action by two Texas federal judges. How keenly the association's contesting of this action is being watched may be seen from the following editorial taken from the New York Times on July 20: “A United States judge in Texas has held that a ruling of a county Democratic committee prohibiting Negroes from voting in Democratic primaries is valid and has dismissed injunction proceedings to restrain the committee from putting its ruling into effect. It is likely that the United States Supreme Court will be asked to review the decision on quality.

SUMMER'S SUNSHINE NO CHANCE attitution of the United States a state may not forbid Negroes to vote because they are Negroes. Can political parties refuse to enroll Negroes in a state that are Negroes? If so, and if, may there be two political parties in a given state lawfully entitled to participate in primaries, could the leaders of both by agreement refuse to enroll Negroes and thus practically accomplish the disfranchisement the state could not legally accomplish? "The courts have held in a Louisiana power a party committee to establish qualifications for voters in primary elections in addition to those provided by the general election laws. How does it apply only to fair qualifications applicable to all voters alike with a view merely to maintaining the status of a state, or does it apply to special, racial and racial questions as well? How does it apply to refused party membership to all persons with red hair; if a Republican committee denied membership to all Negroes in subjects of legitimate party action?

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. OPINIONS PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ON STIRRING UP SOUTHERN STRIFE By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D.C. President Coolidge, in his address at Cannon, Minnesota, on July 29, strongly urges the nation against stirring up animosities between the North and South. The deliverance came as a clap from a clear sky. The two sections have fraternized in two foreign wars since Grant's triumph at Appomattox. The industrial development of the South along Northern lines has served to obliterate ancient hostilities. By then, one must ask himself, does the president deem it worthwhile to revert to a long since settled controversy? It is improper to impute ulterior motives to the president. And yet, a message without a motive is a message without meaning. Its great declaration of prior the platform means what it is plainly impossible to it to its declarations and at the time follow the president's If it does not mean what it then the party stands self-before the American people. I sometimes wonder if the men or both the great politics have a double standard of ethical. Do they intend that and Negro citizens should in their words in the same sense the Republican and Democratic ties have pledged themselves to national platforms to enforce a political in all of its par provisions. Are they genuine avowals of purpose? Does it its great declaration of principles. If the platform means what it says, it is plainly impossible to live up to it. If you do not time follow the president's advice. If it does not mean what it says, it is plainly impossible to be certified before the American people. Dear Leo: In our Sundy shool lesson las' Sundy, de mae topick usk "Tunyl". de mae topick usk "Tunyl". unbjick, my min跑 over ter Mermo, Timmoe, whiere jis e fue days ergo, we had er good amp vui des dum our fokes was mulep on puny, but it looks kut dfel belo Bob Chirch is dun teached dum cual peopmon dem digmigs her ter Mermo 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? Frum reeding do nuespapers whuts printed roun Memfis, it seams dat Nister Chu'ch had awl of papers an, from whut of papers sed, awl de w'ite fokes, ergin him. Pears lack de dimmykrats an awl de "ily-wites" wuz set on puttin dis wun culld man in his place.

He razed de saim ole cry uv "nigger domemashun" an called upon de wites ter rize up in dere mite an ferever tuck Memfis outen de hans uv "Niggers" augNiger guver luvers." But it awlso pears dat dis feller Chu'ch ain't no quitter, an doan git sited at whut is run in de nuespapers. He wint rite on ejlikhat his cullud voaters, an orginzin em so dat dey wood do de rite thing at de rite time. So w'en de leckshun cum off, de tickit dat Bob Chu'ch wux sportin wun out 10 ter wun. Whitch awl goes ter sko dat dere is wun lil seckshun uv dis broad kuntry whare de culld peepul noes de meenn in uv vanity. The president's message can be easily explained in the light of current political happenings. Mr. Coolidge is the head of the Republican or patriotic purpose be impugned deemed himself above playing partisan politics, especially in a presidential year. Indeed, he is expected to do so. Many influential leaders of the South are repudiating the Democratic for the Republican nominee. Mr. Smith is wet and Catholic. The South is Protestant and dry. A pacificatory word from the president at this critical juncture might do a world of good towards turning the tide in the desired direction. If this be the president's motive, it is easily understandable; nor can his partisan or patriotic purpose be impugned. 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.

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. While we were in Fort Worth we visited the Masonic printing office, owned and operated by the Free and Religious Society of Jesus. J. A. Kirk, Waco, is grand master and W. M. McDonald, Fort Worth, here we met Manager Williams. Fort Worth 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. It looks ter me lack, dat deuses de wun place dat party lines order not ter xist. Awl av em orter be uv wun erkord, an pull fer de saim thing, irregardless uv de party.

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.
