WALKER BUILDING IS DEDICATED Bess Denied Liberty From 'Pen' 5 PRICE CENTS VOLUME X WAL Bess THE MIRROR J. ALSTON ATKINS TUSKEE GEE INSTITUTE WASHINGTON'S SPIRIT FAREWELL MESSAGE TRAM WORK STRESSED Elbert Hubbard, in his brochure entitled, "A Little Journey to Tuskeee," after making a deepening survey of the educational institutions in America and suggesting his own educational philosophy, asks the following question and answers it immediately: "The question is, then, what teaching concern in America supplies the best quality of actinic ray?" "And I answer, Tuskeee is the place, and Booker Washington is the most important school in America," the Ideal School is a school for Negroes, instituted by a Negro, where only Negroes teach, and only Negroes are allowed to enter as students!" "And the answer is, 'Exactly so.'" Whatever one may think of Booker T. Washington's theory of education or his philosophy concerning the solution of the problems of Negro life in America, no sane man can visit Tuskeee Institute without feeling the greatest respect for its founder or without realising that he stands in the presence of a great man, this according to the highest standards of greatness that have thus far been recognized in the world. It was the good fortune of this writer to spend about twelve days recently at Tuskeee Institute, where he was the guest of the director of agriculture, with nothing to do but sleep, eat, play tennis, go automobileing, and rest generally. It takes no great stretch of the imagination to understand the spirit of the year. It is then, then, when most delightful. So it was, and we are many pounds the better off (as well as mentally and spiritually re-invigorated) for having gone. However, analogous to the saying of someone that the greatest thing in college life is the fellows you meet there, so at Tuskegee, the greatest thing to be found there is the man, velously successful experiment in humanity and in the possibilities of team work. And it is a most interesting coincidence (if not a pre-conceived providential plan) that Mr Washington's last talk to the teacher and students of the institute, delivered in the institute chapel on October 17, 1915, was on the subject "Team Work." If we, despite the fact that we are Negroes and living in America, could learn to live by the formula of that talk on "Team Work," there is a certainty that we would have immensely more happiness and success. It may not be out of place to summarize that talk. It begins as follows: "Every large and successful business, or other organization, has been built up by what has been called 'team work,' not by one individual, but by a number of individuals working together. In what I shall attempt to say tonight, I want to emphasize the importance of team-work in an institution like this—people working together with a common end in view." The lines along which he urged team work were: 1. Team work in being "on time in keeping an engagement." 2. Team work in play. 3. Team work in "keeping down expense." 4. Team work in "keeping down waste." 5. Team work in the "matter of cleanliness and beauty, for in beauty training, for in beauty training, for in beauty training." 6. Team work in the matter of "doing honest work." 7. Team work in the matter of honest connection with "other people's property." 8. Team work in the matter of cleanliness of character. 9. Upon such a case, we shall put a premium on the truth." 10. mium upon the truth." 11. "Then we want to have team-work. I have referred, but most of all, highest of all, we want to have team-work in our spiritual life, in our reverence, in our devotion, in together in the direction which shall bring about the highest spiritual usefulness in this institution." 12. Forgetting his own personal ambitions, forgetting selfishness, forgetting all in the way of perfect team work."

(Jack) BEAUCHAMP, Houston product, who is assistant to national director of interracial activities of the Boy Scouts of America, spent several days in his native city last week with relatives and friends. For the past 15 months Mr. Beauchamp has been engaged in this work, and he is meeting with much success in various sections of the country. Mr. Beauchamp states that there are 210 colored Boy Scout councils in the United States, 65 in being DIE cities. Councils have been organized at Port Arthur, Orange, Wichita, and Kansas in one formative period at Corcissane. He thinks that Houston and other Texas cities should launch an effort to secure councils. He filled this field Mr. Beauchamp, who finished in mechanical arts at Prairie View State College in Oklahoma, at Port Arthur for 3 years, where he also served as editor of the Port-Arthur Review. He accepted a position as manual training teacher in the Stanton High School at Jacksonville, FL, where he labored for 3 years with the Jacksonville school, he accepted his present post; the national Boy Scout headquarters having been founded in 1910 in the interest of scoutthood in Texas and Florida. Mr. Beauchamp left Houston for Little Rock, Memphis, Cincinnati and Ithaca, N. Y., where he attended September 5-12. He bears the unique distinction of being the only Negro on the national Boy Scout staff, and 2 Park Avenue, New York City. Workers Party Has Strong Negro Pank; Seeks Race Support Workers Party Has Strong Negro Pank; Seeks Race Support San Francisco, Cal.—(ANP)—The Workers (Communist) party, which recently concluded its state nominating convention in San Francisco, has been criticized for plank on the Negro question. This is in marked contrast to the Republican and Democratic parties which have persistently refused to recognize the many wrongs and disabilities under which the Negro group laborers. John H. Owens, a Negro delegate from the cotton belt of California, submitted the following resolution which was unanimously adopted: the most exploited section of the American working class. He is frequent discriminators against poor blacks, beaters, hotels and restaurants. He is restrictive in cities throughout the state, and through property restriction clauses he undergives to blacks, denied the right to many places. He is denied admissions to labor unions and the right to a fair wage. The Workers (Communist) party stands for the complete abolition of economic segregation and economic strictions which prevent them from enjoying all the lights and privileges which are enjoyed by all South Carolina Negro To Serve Prison Sentence Circuit Judge Rules Ben Bess Must Serve His Term In Prison—Convicted 13 Years Age For Attacking White Woman—Revocation of Governor's Pardon Upheld. Columbia, S. C.—(ANP)—As a result of a decision made by Judge W. H. Townsend in Circuit Court Thursday, Ben Bess, now in jail to serve a thirty-year sentence as a result of conviction of an attack on a white woman, finds himself the hero or the marryt of a story as sensational and in its details and social significance as that which Victor Hugo wound around the life fortunes of the immortal Jean Valjean. The revocation of the governor's pardon was upheld. Bess was convicted more than thirteen years age of a criminal attack on a white woman. Since that time he has been in prison with the exception of a few weeks when he was set free as a result of a pardon issued by Gov. Richard. This pardon was granted after the white woman had arranged with the wife of Bess through her (the white woman's) son, and a notary, W. H. Immons, white, to sign an affidavit absolving Bess of the crime. URGE PHILADELPHIA RACE WOMAN TO SEEK CONGRESSIONAL SEAT; DePRIESTS' SPEECH POINTS WAY During the period of his release from prison, Bess was the subject of newspaper editorials and drives were started in different parts of the state to raise funds to set him on his feet again, so that the injustice done to. In the midst of this activity, and after several hundred dollars had been raised, rumors were heard to the effect that a move was on foot to raise funds for the relief for perjury in the first instance. This seems to have frightened her, and she repudiated the affidavit which had to be used to release the release of Bess. She claimed in her repudiation that she didn't know when she signed the affidavit and that she absolve Bess of guilt, but merely that she was forgiving him. The length of this repudiation, evoked the parson he had given Bess and the latter was back to the penitentiary. She still had to fight he has been made by Attorneys A. J. Frederick and A. L. King, represent the contention that the court has known that the governor has no power to revoke an unconformity of the law. Philadelphia, Pa. — (A N P) — In an editorial which recently appeared in the Philadelphia page of the Pittsburgh burial, citizens of the Quaker City are urged to enter Mr. Addie W. Dickerson, prominent civil and civic worker, in the race for republican office in the city's congressional district. Mr. Dickerson has had a long and creditable career in the field of politics and is one of the city's foremost civil welfare workers, as well as a successful business woman. She has been a strong influence in reform movements among colored people. The suggestion that she is very important political office comes as a result of a speech delivered recently in Philadelphia by the president for congress from the Ist congressional district of Illinois. "Sterling unfriended courage to do the thing that is right," are some of the qualities which he stated the leaders of the city have heard Mr. DePriest's address believe that Mr. Addie W.

This pardon man had arranged with the wife woman's) son, and a notary, an affidavit absolving Bess of signed the affidavit, although she was paid $50 for doing so. The state contended that the payment of the sum of $50 to the white woman who signed the affidavit was an evidence of fraud and liberty in obtaining the affidavit, that this affidavit was used to persuade the governor to issue a pardon, that fraud "vitates" anything, and, as a consequence, the pardon issued by the governor was vitiated. This contention was upheld by Judge Townsend. He also upheld the state's claim that the woman, being unindulgent, may not have understood the content of the affidavit although she heard it when it was read to her. The state pointed out that efforts had been made over a period of some years to obtain Bess' release by his wife. Solicitors said that previous attempts had failed that previous content of the exorbitant sum demanded by the white woman to sign an affidavit. Mr. Frederick sought to impress upon the court that these financial considerations were not offered by Mrs. Bess, being put on the affidavit, but demanded by the辩案 that she would apply her mark to any paper. Unless the supreme court reverses the decision of Judge Townsend, Bess will be required to serve out the remainder of his thirty-year sentence.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1928 LOUIS T. WRIGHT SURGEON The standing of Dr. Louis T. Wright in the examination of physicians for police surgeon is doubtless as well as as to white people—a revelation of the fact that no little is known about him. Louis T. Wright was graded second in a long list of those who are not known as police surgeon. The fact that he was graded second in the list means that he was in the actuality at the very heat! In such cases, Negroes are never shamed any more in the examination—he is "second" he is really first. But why should not Louis Wright attain second or even first place in a medical school? He is the ablest members of the profession in the entire nation. Even his own colored folk do not know, as a masseur, the methods of the prevention of infectious diseases have been devised by Louis Wright, and his vaccination and anti-toxin treatments. He may pick up a pioneer medical book and read of the "Wright treatment," or the method of intradermal as against hypo-dermal vaccination and anti-toxin treatments.

If we continue in this submissive way for the next forty years every vestige of our political rights will be frittered away in the household of our friends. Even now the marginal difference between the attitudes of the two parties is a matter of latitude rather than one of political creed. The Republicans of the North and the Democrats of that section profess and practice a like attitude towards the Negro's rights under the law. The difference between Southern Democrats and lily white Republicans remains to be isolated and defined. The Negro must no longer be frightened by political bogey-men. He must soberly consider how much differently he would fare under an Arkansas Democrat than under a Vermont Republican. The reason for this revolt is so-fourable that weaken Republican pressure toaken him. We appreciate it. Of course, during thecampaign season they always promise to help him, but will just help them out this time. The same old ruse has been worked for ten quadriniums. But after the election, he has not only forgotten its pre-election promise, but has grown and attainedAt the end of each quadrinium we find ourselves farther and farther from the political privilege and preferment. Two generations of unhesitatingobedience ought to count as payment for the party, but this pristine moral ground we owe the party of Lineco and Summer for it what accomplished him. But concurring to be ahead of face of fajourn injustice is a psychological impossibility. Wounded in face of fajourn injustice to be ahead than avowed empathy. The Negro's grievance against the governor upon the following bill of protest upon the bill of Negro feels and resents, however they may differ in the mode of manliness. The governor completed the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments was begun under President Coolidge. Coolidge completed under President Kansas City convention deliberately refused to put the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments agenda along with the eighteenth amendment, it thereby drove the last amendment, it thereby drove the last appellations and clenched it on the other side. The stubborn protest of the governor was unheeded, as if it was The deliberate and ruthless crucifixion of Perry Howard, the displacement of Ben Davis from the national committee, the flattening out of Walter Cohen, Louisiana, by the lily-white steam roller, the threatening of Robert R. Church, the noblest Roman of them all, amply put the Negro leadership on warning that its regime has come to an end, and that the triumph of the lily-whites is at hand. The whole race must resent with unrelenting animosity the deep damnation of the dire taking off. The low cunning of the coward was resorted to. All of these men were charged with political peccadilloes and stained with the stigma of dishonesty and dishonor. The "grand old party," which condoned a regime of corruption unparalleled in the history of our government, assumed the livery of righteousness and condemned to these black offenders, who it is alleged were profeites by a few dollars. There were not one word open condemnation of Daugherty and Fall and the Teapot Dome. But Ben Davis and Perry Howard must be pilloried; stamped with brand of everlasting infamy. Surely the Negro has borne the white man's transgressions and the chastisement of his peace is upon us. We are bruised for his iniquity. The Negro is not unmindful of the fact that the Republican party brutally raped our little Haytian sister and forcibly deprived her of the virtue of self-liberty. Instead of playing the big brother, this nation has become the big bully to the struggling weak and helpless. The justifying pleas is as old as oppression. The exploiter always professes to dominate the weak for the benefit of the overridden. The institution of slavery was for the good of the slave. The Republican party has manipulated the civil service so as to make it practically impossible for the Negro to recruit the clerical force. By requiring photographs which at once condemn the Negro applicant, and by allowing heads of bureaus the power of choice among three certified candidates, the Negro is effectively shut out from the qualified service. The time when a colored person has been certified and accepted almost runs against the memory of man. There were at one time forty-five colored clerks in the pension office, now the number has been reduced to five and the ranks are still thinning A lake that has an outlet but no in- take will soon run dry. This is an unpardonable piece of meanness on the part of the federal government. It deliberately cheats the deserving of the out of his only earned du d. And yet the Republican 使士 compically by a although this matter has been over and again called to its attention. The few Negroes who are left in the classified service are subject to the insult of humiliating segregation and penned up in compartments as if afflicted with leprosy. Let us, however, give Mr. Hoover as much credit as he is willing to claim for giving orders to have such distinction removed from his department in the midst of the heated issue of a primary campaign. Very soon, how- over, there will be left in the department no Negro clerks to segregate. It may never be elected and re- elected, and allows the civil service commission to function as it has done under Harding and Coolidge, after eight years of his rule, there will hardly be left a Negro clerk in Washington. I need not go further compounding a bill of particulars. Every Negro knows them like a book. They are the people who have Hawkins and his cooperative committee as they are to you. Mr. Wilson. They feed them as deeply and understandably. They understand Negro in the United States who will not acknowledge the justice of the bill of indictment as if so, let him stand up and say so. The fundamental question arises: "What shall the Negro do in the city of New York upon us?" Some will support A.I. Smith for vindictive reasons, while others say that the Negro should say to the "grand old party": "though you may say me, I will serve you." I said that "the Republican party is the ship; all the other sea." But he gave a generation ago. Since then he came unearthyalty. The Negro may as well seek passage on other crafts or come unearthyalty. The Negro may as well seek passage on other crafts or come unearthyalty. My dear Mr. Wilson, I am not sending you this open letter, information upon topics already familiar to you nor to indicate personal information upon topics already familiar to you. I have stated the truth with soberness, with nought set down in immediately upon reading your letter. I sat me down and took my pen in hand to write you these few lines You will doubtless be influential in formulating the expression of realism, now running, rampant. I am writing to you, the dynamic force we turn into constructive instead of destructive change, because we continue to vote for the Republicans because they do not like Democrats, nor for Democrats because they do not like Democratic policies will get the race now. The Negro should align him with firm principles and sound politics of whichever party spouses them. There is but one fundamental principle, and that is the present, present and that is the present of prohibition. Tonight I expect to listen to Governor Smith deliver his message, and that is perfectly safe to predict that on all features of the platform, have a president who is Mr. Hoover's as Senator Carter is Prohibition, and prohibition alone, is the issue. This is neither a Republic President Nicholas Murray Butler is as well as Senator Edwards and Senator Curtis. It is a sound, patriotic American doctrine, which political party to sponsor. The Negro race is the chief wieldy, intemperance and drunkenness. Fearless greatest have on the weaker men and the weaker race. The demon grover is severely the chief beneficiary of prohibition. It saves our sons and daughters from the lurpes of tempest and the cruel prohibition to resist. It makes for the building up of family, church and school of the race since prohibition, though imperfectly enforced, indicates its run to rum would be a return to ruin. The Negro is the victim of lawlessness and the beneficiary of law. He should be allowed to work through all men forename it, yet he should not. Because the Republic should not be vilified by multiflying the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, yet the Negro should stand firmly by the constitution. If the country ever becomes accustomed to the multifiling of the population, it will little hope that it will ever return to the human rights amendments. Nulled by the Negro, the one portion leads to multifiling of other portions. Let the Negro at least maintain an attitude of moral Mr. Smith and Mr. Hoover are two good men. Mr. Whichever of them is in charge of the farm, that farm relief, flood control, the foreign debt and international relations, will not fail to let Mr. Hoover and the Republican party know that our country will not forget them and that we will abeyance, no, not even during the present campaign.

NIGHT Bladder Weakness or Kidney Pains of the Aged Relieved promptly with Social Mind Hospital-Harvard NATIVE AFRICAN OCCUPIES HIGH CHURCH OFFICE New York City—Born a member of the Vali tribe, whose habitat is in the jungle in the interior of Liberia, West Africa, but now, in his 48th year, a bishop of the Episcopal Church of the United States render service to the people of the country, the Rt. Rev. Theophilus Monolui Gardiner has journeyed half way around the world to sit as a member of the house of bishops of the church at its 49th permanent garrison in Washington, D. C., October 10. This is Bishop Gardiner's last made in back in 1921 when, shortly after his arrival in New York, he beq out of the maze of the salute at Bishop Gardiner's career is a romance in real life. His earliest recollections are of his life among the Vai tribesmen in the African bush. His father was a chieftain, and his youth was spent in and about a hut of palm thatch and mud, only a little more pretentious than his homes of his more lowly playmates. He had all outdoors for his playground, with giant trees, mirror-like lakes, birds of wondrous plumage and prima donna voices, and practically all of the animals that entered the ark close at hand. He was versed in all the forest lore, and knew more about the ways of nature than an American boy learns in a lifetime. He had to be a bit more careful, perhaps, than the boys of America, there being in his back yard lions, tigers, leopards, charging, both the plants, crocodiles, and the like to the clear, clear life, though the bishop of today will probably say that these are not more dangerous than the trolley cars, automobiles and other engines of prey which abound in Western civilization. The future bishop was born a Mohammedan. But at the age of 12, Theophilus was taken into Cape Mount, Liberia, by his father, who had conceived the idea that his modern would be educated in the modern way and entered in St. John's School which the Episcopal Church conducts there. That was back in 1895. Father and son never met again. With his native intelligence, the boy proved an apt student and long before his elementary studies at St. Mary's, he proved an apt student and died, it is understood, in one of the inter-tribal wars in the bush. He overcame the futile attempts of the church. His progress was steady and first, he had ordained in 1905 and elevated to the priesthood and began work as a missionary among his own people. He worked to the bodily and spiritual needs of his charges and by reason of his missionary work, he republic, and in 1921, was Bishop Overs, then in charge of the district, asked for the infiltration of bishop John Overs, an animously chosen for the post by the symbol of the church in Liberia. He has succeeded Bishop Overs, the former jongle boy share the work of the priesthood, the proclaimed little republic, which was founded back in the early days of the last century by the influence with a marked influence upon the lives of his people and therefore, with not a republic of Liberia has achieved. Bishop Gardner is a modest, devout man of simple habits and fortnightly among all classes in Liberia, where half of the official and bunt-clan classes are members of the Epilepsy Class constantly in demand. The message which he brings from Liberia is a thrilling one, and the speaker brings to his audience a speaking tour for him in the United States in response to numerous reports of an opportunity to hear him. Bishop Gardner is married and is the father of five children. His Epilepsy Class takes place in Palmers, Liberia, West Africa. "Liberia is progresing steadily and our campus is growing," said Gardner. "Our schools are steadily improving in quality, and our people have acquired a national conference and hard-work and patriotic. We have enlightened officials, and the outlook is very reasonable. Economically, we are forward and forward, and necessary conditions are good, and we are now in an era of road building for our agricultural future upon which, of course, we largely have to due to the effort that is being put forth by the Firestone interests who are engendering cultural values in our community. We work for large number of our people by the generality of government with the interests of the republic. But would not state the truth if I did not stress the importance of we are making the influence of the church. Our missionary work through their schools and the orders and Christian way of life which they are toward telling the whole a long way ahead." I say that three-fourths of the officials of our government are men educated in the mission schools." Office Phone: Preston 6350 DR. WALDO J.

AUSTIN NOTES ACK SIX—FIRST IN COMPLETENESS PICTORIAL LIFE OF A people are not inclined to break the law or even resent flagrant insult. We are cowed and crushed, and when dark skin runs afoul the law, he does so without the moral support of his brothers. It is earnestly hoped that Evanston tragedy will not be construed against the entire race. “We have no brief to offer for Shanks. The law should take its course and under the law he should pay the penalty for his crime with his life. While we do not believe in capital punishment, as long as it is prescribed on the statute books then it should be followed. Shanks, with blunted mentality and moronic propensities, could never have benefited society. The cards in the game of life were stacked against him and he became a pariah and a menace. He should be put away now and should have been put away long ago. And what is true of him is true of thousands of others.” RACE GAMBLING BOSSES CALLED BY GRAND JURY Chicago, Ill.

Although the brutality of the crime did not rate very high in comparison to such as those of Hickman, Lobc and Leopold and the Snyder-Gray女警, the prominence of the murdered woman, the fact that she was a student at Northwestern University and that the crime occurred in the aristocratic city of Evanton combined to give the police a background of a celebrated crime. For more than a week before the capture of the murderer an energetic and several suspects had been picked up to be conducted for the guilty man and several suspects had been picked up to be conducted for the guilty man and one of these suspects was Thomas Burke, a white man, against whom Burke began to give out, the authorities to lose patience and there was wangling between forces conducting differing crimes. When the clue to Shanks turned up, it was not with the expectation of finding a Negro, but rather a criminal in the list of those numerous unpolished traps captured through a watch which he had taken from the dend woman and sold to the son of the woman where he worked. The young white boy had taken the watch to a jeweler and the jeweler's helper noticed that the initially already on the watch and the jeweler's helper custody and he led them to his father's stand where they arrested Shanks Shanks' motive for committing the crime was robbery. He hid behind a wall of iron pipe, and a person who came inside, and held in his hand a heavy iron pipe with which he could not speak, the first person. He struck her, sat her pocket booklet, in which there were money, money, money, her watch, searched her thoroughly, and then noticed that she was about to yell, struck her again, this last time. Since his arrest, police officials have learned that he had been arrested before for peeping into the bedroom of a woman in western and an attempt has been made to connect him with other murders. The intention is to send him privately to the electric chair, but his attorneys, appointed by the court, said that they will present a plea, upon his lack of training and avonous tendencies to show that he Every white newspaper in the city, have one, seemed to exercise some real power, to murder and Negroes, feeling that his race would suffer, quickly sought letters that disapproval of the law expressed.

MRS. WINSLOW'S STRUP MOTON STRESSES BUSINESS NEEDS AMONG NEGROES Address of Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, and principal of Tuskegee Institute, delivered before the 29th annual session of the NAACP at the united 15, at the Abysinian Baptist Church, 132 West 138th Street: "The events or recent months in business circles which are still fresh in the minds of most of us emulate as never before the need of cooperation among Negro business men." "We could do no better thing at the meeting than to dedicate ourselves for the next ten years to the task of solidifying our ranks in the organization has taken some effective steps during the past year which brought the ten-year program of cooperation in the minds of our people. We have conducted a survey of Negro business organizations in northeastern n illies and find the best remedies for producing a sound and healthy business enterprise within the race. "On our recommendation the Department of Commerce of the United States, in coordination with the Division of Secretary Hoover, has organized a division in charge of J. A. Johnson, a member of our own race, to give us the opportunity to mobilize moral problems of the Negro and to place the resources of the department at our disposal for their solutions. We have obtained have been most gratifying. "The survey of Negro business has been made possible through the inter-relationship between our own propriated $15,000 to make this study. During the last year four men to our own race have visited the Negro business and have problems affecting Negro business. These men have discovered many inquiries about the Negro business our attention and quicken our desire to strengthen the business enterprises which we have to the end of this year may become larger and more useful. What Survey Disclosed "The Business League surveyors have found out in this study of New York enterprises extend through the second generation, which represents the second generation of American business show that it generally takes at least two generations of American business on permanent foundation; and when we find that only a small percentage of business enterprises extend through the generation, it means in effect that as a race, we are constantly starting out with the most substantial progress in any one direction. "Our survey has also shown that the most important prerequises are for the most part inadequate and ineffective. We live in a world where the small retailers, charted upon facts and such facts are made available only through the keeping of accurate records. Too often, we are largely the small retailers, seeking for sustainable efficiencies when, in effect, they bookkeeping or a change of method in 4091 MILAM STREET All Classes of Dental Work Nearly Done.

Coperation Is Lacking "Finally, our surveyors are discovering that one of the deficiencies of our business is the lack of cooperation between local business men. The Negro Business League has placed at the disposal of Nebro business men of effecting local organizations. We do not quibble over names. Local organizations may be called Nebro, but we cannot hope to choose any other name they wish. "The points is, that without cooperation between our local business men in every city, we cannot hope to succeed in all so much desire. It is appropriate, therefore, that at this session we undertake to detach a frank discussion of retail merchants. It is also important that we should give at least one session to the Negro business program for retail merchants. "In the field of retail merchandising, micro merchants are handling only two per cent of the business among college-age customers, for the large expansion of this business, opening up young business opportunities up in men and women of our race. It is estimated that the ninety-eight per cent of the business not handled by Negro business men are thousand people: If for no other sidereation than t hat, our attention is directed upon the retail merchandise field. Negro Merchants Must Merge "It is also significant that in the field of retail merchandising the coordination of merger and acquisition are going to face in representation in gigantic mergers and chain stores, with similar mergers among our own and with similar mergers among our development of cooperation to the point where will be to the advantage of these or the negro merchant in their benefits. "No race can climb the ladder of progress faster than the development of its commercial enterprises. We must be able to understand an age of scientific analysis, an age of cooperation. And certainly there is no more serious problem facing us in the world today than the need for a sense ofness around facts. During the months to come before our next meeting, it is our hope that local legends may give us a glimpse of all cities and that business men may take advantage of the wealth of information which is available in the world. What we learn from the League. What we accomplish in cooperation in the next ten years will, in all probability, determine the place where we will occupy in the next fifty years. "When we review the progress of emancipation there is evidence of substantial progress along definite lines in the problem of religion. Through patience, and the persistent efforts of race, the black man in America is definitely established in the Christian faith, and in the necessary equipment for the development of high standards in the youth of the race in morals and religion. We are all agreed as to the culture and there is practically no controversy or conflict among the denominations in efforts along this path." No Education Problem There is no longer an educational problem within the race. Such a statement is almost startling when we recall how recently we were at odds over the question of the kind of education the Negro should have. Both races and all sections of the country are today agreed that the progress of the race demands every type of education that has contributed to the progress of any other race. . . . Education, as such, is no longer a problem for the Negro. “But in this matter of cooperation among various organizations and groups within our own race, the Negro is still facing a problem which thus far has proved most difficult of solution. As individuals it can be said that we have fully vindicated our right to the freedom which was won at such tremendous cost; but it is this very individualism that today stands in the way of our further progress. We have yet to learn how to coordinate our efforts; how to submerge our personal ambitions and preferences in order to secure those larger benefits which can only come from united efforts.” Racial Unity Sadly Lacking "Everybody knows that the only thing that today keeps us without it is the ability to grow in the inability of our race to unite on a candidate. In the same way that we have not been possible only because we have not yet developed the means of effective cooperative proteins, such as the growth factor for other races in this country. "Now there is probably less prejudice against us than in other form of human activity. There is competition, plenty of it, but business yields the same reward whether we cooperate in yellow or gold or silver. Nor is business overladen with sentiment to cooperate among ourselves before demanding any cooperation where we are not cooperating and in the ultimate test of our ability to cooperate. Somehow we are not. It will be costly; there will be little in the process but we must keep it up until we have developed the definite capacity and unquestioned integrity, who can lead the way to the benefit of the whole race." Lemons From Failure "Failures in business are not confined to any race, nor to any age, nor are failures confined to any race, nor are failures not permit failure to destroy our faith in ourselves, nor our faith in our people, nor our faith in our community, as it is in any other line of human FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVER endure, but two things stand out clearly. "One is that absolute honesty in business must be cultivated in business. Every man in business is under obligation to be as careful with his own. It is bad enough to wreck the hopes and fortunes of those who command their money to stay the faith of hundreds of thousands of people in the integrity of capacity to administer a sacred trust. "The second lesson is that the successful management of business enterprises calls for as much intelligence as any other line of public service. "One of the foremost business men of the nation, who is also a great certainly trust that we have thus far successfully managed. It is one thing to pile up assets and have thus far successfully managed. It is another thing to put them to work to multiply themselves and to bring the opportunities to the being of the employees their ultimate owners. If these failures made us all more searching in our method of business far greater than the present loss. "It is now 28 years since the establishment of this organization by its distinguished founder, Dr. Booker T. Washington. With characters and vision, he saw and appreciated the intimate relations of economic progress to social welfare. He aimed to make the Negro conscious of opportunities within his own race and to stimulate the efforts of those who were struggling to gain a footing in the field of commerce." "We have witnessed the marvelous development of business enterprises among our people since he began his work, and so wisely did he plan, and so broadly did he lay the foundation that the impetus which he gave to this movement has not spent its force. While he constantly urged cooperation with other races, his major aim was to make the Negro self-reliant and in a wise way self-sufficient; and to me it is a matter of great satisfaction that this spirit COURSES: Education, Home Economics, Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Nurse Training, Physical Education, Stenography, Trains mail music.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1928 "NEGRO ISSUE" DIXIE'S RALLYING CRY! Attention has been called previously in The Informer to the attempt of Southern Democratic party leaders and writers to reject the "Negro issue" in the presidential campaign, and to hold up direful pictures of "Negro domination" and "overthrow of white supremacy" in the event Hermo Hoover is elected president of the United States next November. These Dixie Democratic leaders and publicists are once more demonstrating their sectional stripe and showing their political inconsistency when they make appeals to white citizens of the Southland to support Democratic Nominee Alfred E. Smith in order to "keep the Negroes in his place," and then denounce those unfettered white Southerners who openly awow that they will not support and vote for the Tammany Hall presidential candidate because of his views on prohibition and other issues of vital importance to this section and the country at large. If the Smith-Democrats of the South can raise and play up the "race question," which is not involved in the present presidential campaign, then why can't the Hoover-Democrats of this section be religious issue against Nominee Smith, a Catholic communist? Furthermore, it is refreshing and reassuring to observe that these Southern Democratic leaders and editors have become liberal in their partisan and political views that they are willing to swallow a candidate with the "solid South," either politically, seriously, racially, morally, socially, economically or otherwise! During the reign of the invisible order in the South, when the anti-Negro, anti-Jew, anti-Catholic and anti-everything organization was in its heyday, some of the leading lights in that terrestrial movement were in the Catholicism in those days, are now trying to hide behind the political smoke-screen of the "Negro question" to justify their support of Governor Smith. IF THESE DIXIE DEMOCRATS WILL SEARCH THE RECORDS OF NEW YORK STATE, THEY MIGHT DISCOVER, TO THEIR SORROW AND REGRET, THAT GOVERNOR ALFRED E. SMITH HAS INTERMINGLED, SOCIALIZED AND FRATERNIZED—YEA, EVEN PRACTICED "SOCIAL EQUALITY"—WITH NEGRO VOTERS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DURING SOME OF HIS PAST ASSEMBLY AND GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGNS IN THE EMPIRE STATE. THEY WERE INVOLVING ANDILLUMATING TO THESE "SOLD" DIXIE DEMOCRATS TO BE INFORMED that GOVERNOR SMITH DOES NOT HOLD TO THEIR VIEWS ON THE "NEGRO QUESTION," AND THAT ALREADY "COLORED SMITH-FOR-PRESIDENT H E D-AQUARTERS" HAS BEEN OPENED AT 132 WEST FORT-SEXTH STREET, NEW YORK CITY, WITH BLACK TAMMANY HALL DEMOCRATS IN CHARGE OF THE NATIONAL DRIVE TO CORNAL NEGRO VOTES FOR NOMINEE SMITH If these Southern Smith supporters want to help their national ticket, they will do well to soft-pedal this eternal and perpetual "Negro issue!" for candidate Smith, Chairman Raskob, Finance Director Lehman and other national Democratic leaders, exceptional to the South, have too much political sense and foreseen to inject unpleasant ideas into the presidential race, and thereby alienate thousands of Negro electors who are seriously considering casting their ballots for the Democratic presidential electors in the pivotal and determinative states where Negros constitute the balance of political power. IT IS RATHER UNFORESTUNATE AND REGRETTABLE THAT THE POURBON SOUTH MUST EMPLOY QUADRENILLY THIS SAME POLITICAL SCARE-CROW OF POSTCIVIL WAR DAYS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS HOLD UP ON THE DIXIE DEMOCRATS, AND IT IS A REFLECTION UPON THE INTELLIGENCE AND SENSE OF FAIRNESS ON THE PART OF WHITE CITIZENS THAT SUCH PROPAGANDA MUST BE INVOKED IN ORDER TO KEEP THE "SOLID SOUTH" IN ITS PERENNIAL ROLE OF VOTING ITS PREJUDICES AND PASSIONS RATHER THAN CASTING A BALLOT FOR PRINCIPLES AND THE PERPETUITY OF AMERICAN IDEALS AND INSTITUTIONS! In this connection, however, it appears that thousands of Dixie Democrats are about to awake from their prolonged partisan slumber, and that many of them are realizing for the first time that they are not alone in their ability and ability can considerations, and that no section ever make much progress when enslaved by customers and traditions based on prejudice, bigotry and intolerance. Some of these DCE Democratic leaders and editors cite attention to certain alleged unsavvy activities of Republican leaders. The Houston Informer ing Democrat* should support Herbert Hoover, Republican standard-bearer, for the presidency; yet these same Southern seem to have been more successful in many Hall throughout its partisan career, and that even in several of the Southern states, Texas not even excluded, charges of graft and pilfering by Democratic officials and office-holders in high places have shaken and startled both this section and the M. Since Ninomie Smith is such an ardent advocate of the nullification of the national constitution, and since the "solid South" has been ignoring and nullifying this same federal document for several decades, the two should make mighty fine bed-mats—so they can be safe. Why does the "solid South" through its partition leaders and alarmists, be excited every quadrennium over the "Negro question," while living alongside these same colored citizens in practical peace and safety during the interim? Even if Mr. Hoover is elected, and even granting that some Southern state should accord him the electoral vote of said Dixie commonwealth, how or why should that political incident change the course of the nation? Furthermore, in how many Southern states does the Negro play an important part in shaping the policy and determining the program of the so-called Republican party in his state, and what influence have these few Negro political leaders upon the national Republican party leaders? Our Southern Democratic tyrannies and bigrods should originate and work in the tyrannical and fictitious role of overworked and badly-abused "Negro issue" has about lost its political efficacy and sectional charm. If the "Negro question" were settled together, by the wholesale hegira of the race to other sections of the country or to some distant clime, or by a national plague which would literally decimate the race's ranks, the "solid South" would break over and be defeated in the role as "wood thither," for the national Democratic party! Dr. C. W. PEMBERTON Dr. C. W. and Dogan Pemberton, physicians and officers on the fourth floor Old Beloved Temple, are two brothers, natives of Marshall, Texas, and the son of Prof. and Mrs. H. B. Pemberton, the former being a pioneer educator in Texas. Neither the racial, religious nor sectional issue should be projected on the political screen during this or any presidential race or political campaign; but if the South insists upon and persists in raising the "race issue," then the North will be justified in injecting the sectionalism issue into the politicalray by referring to and opposing Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic vice-presidential nominee, and Protestants can find ample reasons to criticize Smith because of his membership in the Roman Catholic church! Dr. Dogan Pemberton, who has just recently completed his internship at the City Hospital, St. Louis, has been a part of the team here and the two have formed a part. THE "NEGRO ISSUE" KEeps THE SOUTH "SOLID" IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE! ABNER FUNERAL DREW HUNDREDS; LUCAS PREACHED DR. MOTON SOUNDS KEYNOTE In his annual address before the twenty-ninth annual session of the National Negro Business League, held recently in New York City, Dr. Robert Rusa Moton, president of the national organization and principal of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., and generally accepted as the successor to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as race leader, urged business cooperation among Negroes, and called attention to the fact that this is an age of combines, mergers and corporations in business and commerce. the funeral of Dr. David Abner Jr., well-known Texas educator, fernalist and scholar who died Tuesday, August 21, was held from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Monday morning; the rites, being witnessed by hundreds, numbered among the audience being many for Pasteur S. A. Pleasant, master of ceremonies, while the funeral was attended by A. Lucas, pastor of Second Baptist Church at Waco and student under the guidance of latter's presidency at Conceau College. In the course of his address, Dr. Moton is quoted as saying: "We must demonstrate our capacity to cooperate among ourselves before demanding any cooperation where the resources of others are at a disadvantage. So somehow we must learn this fundamental lesson. It will be costly; there will be some loss in the process, but we must keep it up until we have developed within the race a group of men of definite capacity and unquestioned integrity, who can the way to larger achievements for the benefit of the whole race."

Vocal zonkers, Jr. and Mr. Brooke Jr. The Negro race must direct more of its attention along economic lines; it must train its leaders for this field of service and then demand of these trained leaders a strict accounting of their stewardship. This is not an age of individualistic business and commercial undertakings, but rather it is an age when big business is supplanting little business and mammoth mergers and corporations are literally forcing the smaller business concerns to the wall. The Negro can not hope to "race pride" and commercialize on "color," per se, but the business men of the race must meet competition and sell service; they must not be content merely to own and operate a "colored business," but they must man and conduct a modern business enterprise. Expert and special training is now required of any man or group of men attempting to conduct business ventures, and the training required for them is predicated on a very faulty and filimy business hypothesis. in his funeral oration Rev. Locus paid Dr. Ahera a tribute for the part he played in the service. He rinsed in ice and inspiring the students who came under him, and for his magnificent in the decedent, who ranked as one of the leading educators of his day and generation. Mrs. Abel was devoted to and care of her husband during his long illness. The students devoted work during his life-time and the many struggles and hardships he endured to perform a lasting service. There must be a need for such a business enterprise or commercial undertaking in any community before said project can expect to excite and receive the support and patronage of the people; and the person or persons who endeavor to direct and manage such business concerns must be well versed and specially trained for their posts. Racially speaking, we can not even begin to feed and clothe ourselves—not even in the American cities possessing large Negro populations. Only in real instances do we find race man owning and operating retail grocery stores who "know what it is all about;" while clothing and department stores are virtually unknown among our racial group. People from all walks of life and from many sections of the state came to this educational institution whose entire life had been spent in the service of his people, and whose motto is love the people and the people love the people. A race without grocery stores, dry goods stores, hardware stores and drug stores is at the mercy of roes owning and operating such business establishments; and a race which is short and fast is at the mercy of roes owning and operating the door-mat and foot-stool of more fortunate and favored races. Telegraphic messages of condemnation from all sections of the country were read by Prof. N. Dudley, Jr., an expert on the subject, and the protege of the decimated educator. Too long have we sung the ante-bellum hymn about "taking care of the world," but we have not done so. We also need some of this world's goods, and the Informer can not comprehend how any pauper race, always exploited and oppressed, can serve as a guardian of an ingenious fervor for serving and worshiping any intelligent Deity. Daniels and Phillips Undertaking Company had charge of the funeral with interment in College Park Cemetery. We must "render unto God the things that are God's and unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." MEETS MAYOR JIMMY WALKER We must develop a symmetrical race and we must emerge from the begging and hat-in-hand role, but this can only be done by embarking in the fields of business and commerce on a big, cohesive team. We must be particularly fitted and definitely trained for such economic leadership. Mrs. Josie B. Taylor, proprietor of the Josie Taylor Chapeaux on Prairie Avenue, and who is on a business trip to New York, writes that she recently met and was introduced to the mayor of that great city, Jimmy Walker. Business has been reduced to a scientific basis, and no unprepared man can hope to succeed and measure arms in business in the present-day fierce and keen stair for financial supremacy, economic independence and commercial power. IN MEMORIAM To the memory of our beloved mother Mrs. Alice Steencer, who departed this life August 24, 1927: The Negro race does not take its business life seriously because it is not a business. It does not spend more time and spend more money for social activities and good times, than they will for safeguarding and expanding their business. It is the most modern methods and practices in the commercial world. "Deep in our hearts we hold the glow Of all the joy we used to know; Each little smile, each tender touch, That meant, we never knew, how much. When all the world was new and fair, And we were young and didn't care; And now it seems the thought of you Is like a song forever new. Dr. Moton has sounded the keynote in the national campaign to improve, enlarge and solidify Negro business, and here's hoping that our business men and women will turn to page seven of the book. The league president has to say on this all-important subject. * (Signed) Mendesa Nanae Holoca, Kobla Zoel, David Eke, David Millean, Kilan Lipa, daughter: Major Spencer, Kig L. Seng, Bubker T.
