They all wore basque dresses, with skirts of uneven hemline and head-dress and shoes to match.

Little Helen Glyn Robinson, in blue, carried the veil. The room was tilted up. J. M. Mitchell as best man and E. Johnson and J. B. Sanford of Galveston as groomsmen, all wearing formal dress suits.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER THE MIRROR THE MIRROR (Continued From Page One) everything possible to keep them out? "Why go to stores that shove you into a corner and won't let you try things on." As the new and new concludes by extending an invitation to the colored women of Baltimore to visit the advertiser, where such discriminations do not obtain. But, we wish to ask, who do they or we pull off such silly stunts? It seems that the "Not Not" line is left, self-respect and that it is exceedingly difficult for any store or business concern to insult the black man. Then to add insult to injury, we find ebony-hued apologists who are always trying to make excuses for those stores which do not enter to more do not color the patronage; and what is worse, we have some "fair" women who visit such stores, "pass for white" and then come away and broadcast the news that they were treated all right in said mercantile establishments. Well, until the Negro opens and opens such places of business, he will continue to fatten frogs for snakes and have his hand bitten by the men he (the Negro) feeds and supports by patronizing their stores and businesses. Finally, will the day ever arrive in our racial life when we will learn some real sense, and cease to be the laughing stock and doormat of other races? Back in the spring, when this columnist first lapped the Houston Bowl opponent, the opponents on the diamond, the prediction was made in this department and then walloped the team which was the winner of the circuit for 1928 would have to come by our Buffs. The Buffs won the first half and then walloped Wichita Falls champions of 1927, in a recent play-off, series, three out of four games, winning two of the titles very decisively. By this double triumph the Buffs will meet the winner of the Memphis game in the Southern Association, for the premier baseball honors of the city. It is the first time a South Texas team has won the Texas League penalty series, and it marks the first time Houston has won the penalty series, and it marks the first time Houston baseball bags, including this writer, are jubilant; for Fort Houston baseball bags, if we were losing under the impression that no such signal home would ever come to the premier city of Texas Congratulations are due President Fred Ankenman, Manager Frank ("Pancho") Sayder, "Sweet William" Hallahan and the other. Buffs for their achievements on the diamond during the season, and here's hoping that the pennant fund will exceed its goal; and that the colored citizens of Houston will be given a part to play in helping to raise this fund.

The United States must administration whenever it may now exist in the United States. You know that lynching, burning and mobbing of human beings ought to be stopped in the name of civilization and decent government by the law enforced by the United States, and that 1 g l l should be urede and sanctioned to these ends. These measures are vital to the best interests of all Negroes, and so far as we are concerned, they should be No Mortgage On Us I do not know your position upon me, measures, nor do I know how you must upon them. That these wicked things real and not imaginary, every man and woman know to be true. There are no other dangers der. From slavery over a bloody and terrible path, we both have the same fate. We are not a marriage on us. No party, no political organization has any deed on you or me, and we are the sole ones. We are not both are indebted to the great, noble men and women who have been South Korea took a firm stand against the enslavement of our foreparents and children of black men, women and children in all the states of the un Friendly White People There are, as you know, in the South thousands and thousands of white men and women who have accepted, in good faith, the results of the Civil War; men and women who love American institutions and wish to preserve this nation; men and women tired of racial hatred; tired of legislation based upon color; tired of disfractement; and some equality before the laws of all the states and longing for a real just governmental policy based upon mutual respect and confidence of all American citizens regardless of race, color or religion. These white men and women are willing that colored men and women shall be free to labor and enjoy the fruits of their labor and have equal protection before the law; willing that colored men and women shall be free to the government of their choice; willing that all children shall be educated, and shall have all the rights of an American citizen. These men and women are tired of the Ku Klux Klan and disgusted with his white agitators and political demagogues. They refuse to be moved by the preaching of religious hatred or (unrelated) the ranking of color of the Algiers. In these lie the future hopes of American Negroes. They are our friends and must be cultivated, don't you think? Helped To Produce Greatness The United States of America is the most prosperous country on earth, and the most powerful nation in these states were a vat wilderness popped by a few savages. But to overcome them, we need three or four billions of dollars. Perhaps it is not amiss to say that here in the United States, we need in the United States. You know that we helped to produce and create the great wealth of the United States, and that all of the greatness of the American government. We must know the ideals and ideas of each presidential candidate, the character, the fitness, the ideals and ideas of each presidential candidate, the power and power position of pre-ident of the United States. We are entitled to know his mind on issues that are important to our complex economical, racial and governmental problems. We know the mind of Mr. Hoover's Southern businessman, the Virginian and R. B. Creeker of Texas. Must Oppose Oppression The Negro race, as you will agree, must never become hires of oppression or of the government or of governmental policies. Whois for political equality of all citizens, regardless of color, and who is for true American and we ought to defend him with our voice, pen and power. Nations have been used by the nation. Nations have been used by the grandure of one man. Fate may have decreed Gov. Alvaro Obregon not to allow American people from self-destruction. Who knows Washington and Alabama were not allowed to be relicted by providence to establish a free republic—the freest on earth. President Must Be A Patriot President Muhammad Ali Patriot All three should resident of the United States should be a patriot. Gov. Al Smith of Tennessee, the stateman and triot. He is big enough to triot. Parties at best are a only means of the states, the hard government of all the end. Governor Smith, in principles, of the United States. Speaking for myself, I shall pipe from the tab- lin. I will resist on the race and snatch of two hundred years and blur with happy tears the wrong re- sponses against the race and snatch to the president. I will cast my vote for Gov. Al Smith conduct that if they are confident will still rule the destiny of our nation and government at Washing- ton. Must Not Wave Bloody Shirt Munt Not Wear Wloody Shirt wonder sometimes whether the United States governs by men and parties full of hatred, full of color prejudices, full of malice and full of slain. This insult is, in some of its aspects, the most remarkable political campaign of American history. It will be bitter, passionate, relentless and decisive. It will be the bloody shirt or dig up act of reconstruction days (just after the Civil War) and precondition them to victory. I beg you gugues send forth such appell, but I beg you to refuse to stoop so low Our Quarrel With G. O. P. . . Our quarrel is with the Republic. The Democratic party as a political organization owe the Negroes of the South the fact that it is very little, if anything, to Negro voters in Northern Eastern and Western states. We do not respect political respect and confidence. You know for sixty-five years right or wrong, we voted solidly for the Republican party and against the Democratic party. This is true in nearly all of the states. We served the Republican party during white men and women—the Democratic party—would not has desertion or the right to act in party councils. You know the Negroes have never demanded the Republican party prefer a democratic party with the service they have rendered the party, but have been contented with the party's preference. Now, taking a crumb here and yonder without complaint and being satisfied to pay the price of national incarceration. I do not know what you think about it, but I think gratitude is in the blackest of crimes. Guilty of Ingratitude The Republican party leaders know of the things here complained of. The Republican party has been led, used and directed for the past eight years. It has a right to be president. It is a right to be Republican. Both the Harding and Coolidge administrations smell to heaven. The Republican leadership of Will Hayes, is alleged to have spent $1,500,000 more to sheet Harding. Coolidge more than $1,500,000 to be handed to be paid and paid off. It is said that a scheme was worked out among the states and the quota of each state was underwritten by certain men, and if it be alleged that the state had handed over to them the men by the appointing powers at Washington to underwritten, by them and given to Will Hayes to wipe out the $1,500,000 of the national Republican committees. Charges of Political Crime Charges of Political Crime On these allegations, the administration has been as quiet as a grave. Charges of conspiracy, liberation and ill kinds of have been made against cabinet officers, U.N. and U.S. State senators, governors, United States attorneys, federal judges, prohibition enforcement of law, and other government agencies. (Rigorous: ) The U.S. Republican party, leaders, and private citizens high in the councils of the Republican party. The G.O. P. apparently did not know that these charges were being made by the public until it was allowed that They have, in general, the Republican committee from Georgia, and Perry Howard, national co-m itteeman from Mississippi, had accepted a The U.S. Republican party funds to stand up. However, the party's interests are not to be as long as the House's delegation to Kansas City and had sold a few postoffices, or marshalships. The administration had been soundly and could not be awakened by the government. The party's efforts were made when it did finally awake it gallopped down to Georgia and Mississippi and indicted seven or eight Mississippi Negros—Perry Howard, its first-handman, Friday, included the Post Gold Party. The U.S. Republican party, as of the�affer, to appear an outraged public conscience and to stone for the crimes, graft and corruption of the leaders of the Republican party. The Republican men who were the history, tenets and lofty records of the Republican party from 1860 to 1888, must as I see it, clean out the filthy stables of the country. The only one of the leaders is to defeat Hoover and elect Al Smith president next November. What They Are Saying They tell us that if Hoover is dependent on AI Smith is elected president, the pope of Rome and primary, Hall will run the nation and the constitution of the United States will be nullified. These questions are smoke screens. They are political propaganda and a hallucination of evil-minded persons. If Smith is elected president, you know that neither the pope nor Tammany Hall will run the nation nor will the constitution be nullified any more than it has been nullified under Harding or Coolidge by addiction. The hall was for such political standers that founded in religious and racial hatred. I am firm in the opinion that Mr. Hoover must be defeated in November. Why? you may ask. My answer—in order to rid the Republican party and the nation of a government run by bootleggers, ku kluxer, lilly-whites, segregators, perjurers, grafters, corruptionists, and conspirators to nullify the constitution by direction. A man who holds himself out as a leader of ten or more million black men and women in the United States and who is just now urging us to vote for Mr. Hoover should at least let us know where. Mr. Hoover stands upon the capital of the people's What We Want To Know 1. Certain leaders of the Republican party, I mean Slemp of Virginia and the hard and fast coalition with the Ku Klux Klan. And the Ku Klux Klan. And the political equality of the Negro government. These men are Hoover's Southern managers. Will you Negro governor? Hoover stands this question? As said before, we will Negro governor but would like to know the stand of Hoover. Does he agree with us? 2. The Republican party of the THE BOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1926 WHY FOOL By DR. KELLY MILLER The erudite editor of the Crisis has said that any Negro who votes for Herbert Hoover is a fool. A great many Negroes will undoubtedly vote for Hoover at the risk of bringing down upon their heads the malediction of the wise and prudent editor of the wise and prudent editor of the small and far-rears. The food tells that he is very good to the mother. "Then fool," shall be in danger of the hell fire. Those self-deluded foals who persist in voting. 4. Is Mr. Hoover in favor of the agreement that permits unskilled Mexican labor to come into the United States from old Mexico, while at the same time it prohibits Negro labor of the United States from going to Mexico? Will he continue on void such agreements if elected president? What Negroes know Mr. Hoover's mind upon this question? And don't you think Negroes should know before they vote to continue the Coolidge policies? We know where Slemp and Creager stand on this agreement, but where does Mr. Hoover stand? 5. Segregation of government employees is reprehensible, shocking to the righteous judgement of a great nation and contrary to the policies of a just government. The departments as Washington, D.C. are honey-combed and dominated with humiliating and degrading policy of separating government employees during hours of labor, because of color. Will Mr. Hoover continue this policy or void it, if elected president? Do you know as a our leader, don't you think you ought to know and tell us before you advise us to vote for Mr. Hoover? We know where Slemp and Creager stand on this question. Does Hoover agree with them? 6. We recognize the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commission sent, clothed with power to comment, Mr. Hoover, with the power of our country. If elected president, will Mr. Hoover, through this comment, send all that common carriers provide and: render equal service, comment, and send black men and women who must sometimes use these carriers? Will all of us who have the courage to stand up and ask questions, speak out, and comment, then he told them and do, how he would approach these questions if elected president? We want to 7. Peonage is a species of slavery outlawed by the constitution and statute laws of the land, whether brought about because of debts, mutual obligations, or trumped up charges of crime. It cannot be defended in morals, equity or law. Will Mr. Hoover, if elected president, use the department of justice to stamp out peonage wherever it may not exist in the United States? Don't you think that as a leader you ought to inform us with respect to Mr. Hoover's stand on this question? 8. Lynching is a crime for which no excuse or justification can be advanced. The laws of all the states provide ample punishment for all persons who possess moronic dispositions. Will Mr. Hoover, if elected president, sanction legislation to the end that the wicked practice of lynching, burning, and mobsing of human being be stopped? Who knows the mind of Mr. Hoover in this question? And is it impertinent to seek information with regards to his position and what governmental policies affecting our rights as citizens will be put in operation, if he is elected president? The Real Paramount Issues I know that the issues of farm relief and prohibition are featured and stressed in this campaign as the leading issues, but over and above these issues, like Mt. Washington towers over other mountains, is the issue of political equality, human rights and liberties, the protection before the law, of every American citizen, black and white to alike Witty statements, like "the Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea," ridicule, and reciting the records of the Republican party from 1856 to 1876, will not dovetail with the records of the Republican party from 1920 to 1928. Millions of your oppressed race will bless the day that you were appointed to lead them, if you shoulder the task of having Mr. Hoover define his stand upon these vital questions. With high personal regards, I am, Yours sincerely, WM. MCDONALD, 401 East 9th Street, Ft. Worth, Texas. STATE COLLEGE STUDENT BODY HEARS BANKS Prairie View, Texas.—More than 1500 people heard Principal W. R. Banks in his first lay sermon of the regular session of the college Sunday morning in the college auditorium Prof. James C. McMorries, college chaplain, presided. Principal Banks chose for his text, "I press forward toward the mark of high calling which is in Christ Jesus". The word "press", said he, "suggests determination, and effort toward the accomplishment of a prize or an ideal. Ideals make men and standards and the highest standards to be attained are those set by the Almighty. The trouble is that standards are set too low. Some come to college for certificates instead of efficiency and service. It is not how much, but how little can be done to get the award." In closing the principal pointed to the ant as an example of industry and thrift and pled earnestly for high and noble ideals both in public and private to the end that the world would be better by reason of the ennobled lives lived each day. WHY FOOLS? How The Negro Feels Approaching The Statue Of Liberty While The White Man Sings "America" By DR. KELLY MILLER 1444 The erudite editor of the Crisis has said that any Negro who votes for Herbert Hoover is a fool. A great many Negroes will undoubtedly vote for Hoover at the risk of bringing down upon their houses the malice of the white mob, who upbraideth all men who diswithout stint or parsimony. The good book tells that he who sayeth to his grother; "Then fool," shall be in danger of the bell fire. Those self-debuffed dogs who persist in voting for Hoover will send from his infallible judgment malicordy admonition, will doublesextent to the self-appointed political censor an urgent invitation to pay an immediate visit to the place that burneth with bristle and fire prescribed by Scripture for his hindgice in the opprobriotic esthet. On the other hand it is decreed that those who vote for Al Smith should imitate the execrable Judas Priest, who should think that all will agree that he who commits suicide is a foil; there is no Republican or the Democratic ticket in the approaching election, and noAwful designation. After all was not Shakespeare right when he exclaimed—"What fool these mortals The Negro is dressed up in his political Sunday clothes which he puts on every four years. It is one of the failings of human nature that when one is dressed up, he will inevitably find some place to go—even though he goes to the wrong place. It is unbearable boredom to endure the ennui of the Yankee yawl—“No where to go and nothing doing to home.” Dr. DuBois' dictum would involve the Negro in a double acting dilemma. The Republican party is his traditional political home. If he stays there he is a fool; if he fares forth, he will commit suicide. The Negro in the midst of his bewilderment wants constructive advice; his would-be guide, philosopher and friends confounds him with the counsel of despair. The poor Negro longs for the living bread and is offered a dead stone; he wants a flesh making fish and is given a blood poisoning serpent. It is better wisdom to seek to give good gifts to them that ask for guidance and direction. The agrarian will vote for the party and the candidate which they want. The agrarian who do not believe in prohibition will support Al Smith, the embezzled billionaire. BY JESSE O. THOMAS Most passengers and especially Americans on board vessels coming to New York from abroad rise early in the morning to celebrate the opening of liberty—the symbol of the open door that bids them welcome to the land of opportunity and freedom. De France a few days ago returning from continental Europe. At the airport, she saw a large number of white passengers began to sing the *Star Sang* of the Trees, *Sweet Land of Liberty*. Not only the members of the singers, but also the passengers near by removed their hats, and stood with uncovered heads approaching their native land. I was interested in observing the conduct of Negro students who taught me mery-krabs, but who refused to uncover his history, who gradually grew up there, where he stood and engaged in conversation with him. In the course of my work, I learned genuine advocates of prohibition will lift up with Hoover, who stands with both feet on the eighteenth amendment. The Negro's belduliment may be a little more confusing than his white fellow elector. He must vote with the Republicans, notwithstanding their abandonment of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments or stand for Smith who is wet. While he is not a grand old party, he cannot forget the traditional hostility of its Democratic adversary. Al Smith, who believes in political equality in the South, has been in the South in the State. Mr. Hoover, who abolishes segregation in the Department of Commerce, does not dare deny the South's white-demand in the South. Although the Negro is bound by every law, he must be brought to the fourth and fifteenth amendments back into the picture, he finds that it has been ignored by the South. So far as concerns the human rights issue in this campaign, dishonors are even. Prohibition is the residuary issue of divisive significance. If the Negro deems this question vital to the welfare of the Negro and of the nation, as I do, then despite all other drawbacks and disadvantages, he will support that party which makes most of that issue. Not only will he not be a fool for such advocacy, but he will thereby evince the highest political wisdom. Achilles, suking in his tent, wins no battles before the walls of Troy. Achilles, buckling on his armor in behalf of the one thing that affected him most, despite his list of grievances against the leader of the Greeks, brings victory to his cause and glory to his name. The Negro, while not a fool, has been fooled for the past forty years by the blandishments of preelection promises. In this respect he can be fooled no longer. Let him keep both eyes open and vote for the sound principle of prohibition; he will thus escape the predicted folly of the fool and the tragic fate of the suicide. TIGERS LAUNCH GRIDIRON WORK; SHEPPARD BACK Waco, Texas.—Nearly 20 men reported to Coach Ray Sheppard of Paul Quinn College last Tuesday morning for their first workout. Judging from the material, the coach announced that things looked more promising this year than during last season. Although Robert Westbrooks, who was selected by Frank Young for his all-American team last year, and Louis Jones, who held a berth in the backfield, will not be in the line-up Coach Sheppard expressed his opinion that Paul Quinn would be a strong contender for the football championship in this section. Some of the men who have reported for practice are Calton Gentry, who was given honorable mention by Frank Young; Haden Williams, Alvin January, "Doc" Campbell, Robert Booker, "Red" T. Lambert Louis Merritt, Robert Randall, Phillip M id d let o n, Milton Berry, Kahal Malone, P. L. Dunagan T. Williams, Marshall H igh to w er, Leonard Foteno, James Dawn, Z. McDaniels, Jesse Perify and Obey Wright. Albert Lambert, trainer, reported that the athletic field would be in fine shape within a few days and the Dr. T. E. Comans of Logan Santiago it would give the players a thorough examination next week. When the players were weighed, Coach Sheppard said that his line men were considerably heavier than the coach. Coach Chessmaud said that his men in shape for conference games the regulars will meet an alumni squad around the school of Paul Quinn might be placed to large degree upon the players. Coach Cieson, Emerson Williams and Cecil Jones. It is almost certain that the players will play full on the varsity squad. Leon Morgan, captain of the regulars, arrived at the campus late Monday. He assisted the coaching staff and provided several hourals. During this week the captain explained that the gridiron men would turn out at 8 o'clock every morning; and after the open practice the team will practice in the afternoon. ing observation: "I am a patriotic American and interested American, and yield to a greater loyalty to the ideals which our country stands as designed."

I have gone where I pleased, with whom I pleased, without which I would not be reminded by the sign 'Colored' or any other suggestion that I was human being. I cannot enter enthusiastically into the singing of America when I remember how limited are these people in the world where I live. If the statue of liberty would turn around and could sing these people who are now singing, relative to their treatment of those great artists, singing would become a hockery.

(G. S. Western Newman Union.) Lesson for September 23 THE CHRISTIAN BASIS OF TOTAL ABSTINENCE Temperance Lesson. LESSON TEXT-1 Cor. 8:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT-1- Let no man seek his own but every man another's wealth. PRIMARY TOPIC—Helping Others to Keep God's Law. JUNIOR TOPIC—Helping Others to Keep God's Law. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Abstinence for the Sake of Others. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Christian Standard of Social Conduct. In this section of Scripture Paul is bringing to view the great doctrine of Christian liberty and forbearance. The occasion of this teaching was the uncertainty as to the right attitude for Christians to take toward things sacrificed unto Idols. 1. The idol is Nothing (v. 1-4). Intelligent people know that an idol is nothing but a person they know that there is only one God, the creator and sustainer of all things. Since an idol such as a god must suffer all suchness is a matter of indifference. It should be borne in mind that the principled stated in this section has an important consequence: it wrongs people. Strictly speaking, therefore, this teaching cannot be applied to indulgence in intoxicating liquor, etc. are things wrong in themselves. The Paul's meaning. The indulgence in intoxicating liquor, the use of tobacco, etc. are things wrong in themselves. The holding of stock in certain corporations and having partnership in them is wrong in themselves. In applying this principle to the use of intoxicating liquor, this should be borne in mind. The things which are in themselves harmless. In all All Christians Have Maturity of Discernment (v. 7, 8). Uninstructed Christians were still possessed of the conviction that an idol was really a power and powerful person and should be a social meal where such meat was eaten would be to expose themselves to a social meal where such meat again under bondage to their skin. 11. The Christian's Behavior In Such Cases (vv. 9-15). 1. He should take need test his liberty become a stumbling block (v. 9). 2. Liberty must be curtailed for the sake of the weak brother (vv. 10, 11). 3. To disregard this is to sit against our brethren (v. 15). To disregard our brother's interest is to sit against Christ, for it is sinaling against the one for whom Christ died. To place a stumbling block in the way of the believer is a terrible crime. In enforcing this, three important considerations are brought out: (1) The fate of the weak brother (v. 11). He perishes. Human sympathy, let alone Christian love, would cause a man to give consideration to his conduct test be cause such a loss. (2) The relation of the man to his slayer. He is his brother. (3) What Christ did for the "weak brother." Christ died for him; therefore to sin against a brother is to sit against Christ, because the brother is a member of Christ's body. IV. The Teaching illustrated in Paul's life (ch. 9) He worked with his own hands lost his mission to them should be misjudged. While he vigorously contended for his right to be allowed to be misjudged, by means of his own labors and the donations which he received he was able to boast that he had not been chargeable to them. IV. The Teaching Applied (10:28-32) 1. Christians may indulge in lawful things only as they are expedient and useful. 2. Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbors good. (v. 24). 3. The principle of use is unimaginable. 4. Whether therefore he eat or do all to the glory of God (v. 31). The Christian is not at liberty to do that when he could not eat or do all to the glory of God (v. 31). 4. Give no occasion for anyone to stumble (v. 32). We should not give that no one can eat or do all to the glory of God we have been the occasion of his downfall. 5. Follow the example of Jesus (11:11). We should give up all for the sake of others. The Road of Good Works The road of good works is blocked by our past sins, and it is sure to be further blocked by our future sins; we ought, therefore, to rejoice that the open road of faith—Spergonus. Thank God Thank God for a gospel that stings itself into our daily lives, and that makes us sing away sorrow and care! She has on each tykma - Cyrusse Eherman.

HOUSTON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1928 NEGROES VERY ACTIVE FOR SMITH According to news stories appearing in the various race news papers, Negroes in various sections of the country are busy perfecting, organizations to back and support the presidential candidates of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, Democratic nominee for the highest elective office in America. Not only is such activity being manifested in the Eastern, Northern, Mid-Western and Western sections of the country, but colored voters in border and even Southern states are openly exposing the cause of the Democratic presidential standard-bearer, and are planning to cast their ballots for him in the November election. Judging from this pre-election activity on the part of the colored electors in Smith's behalf in all parts of the republic, it appears from this angle that the Gotham governor will receive more votes from the Negro contingent than any Democratic presidential candidate in the history of the United States. In this connection, it is amusing to observe the flattering reports, beaming over-confidence, being made by certain colored leaders of the Republican party, who are assuring the white G. P. leaders that Mr. Hoover will land all the colored votes in the country. Whether the Republican leaders, both white and black, realize it or not, the fact remains that they are going to have an elephant-task on their hands trying to keep the colored "brother" tied up with the Republican party in this forthcoming presidential race; and thousands of Negroes, who are advocating the election of Governor Smith, are not actuated by the governor's views on prohibition, but they honestly believe that the Negro can fare no worse under Governor Smith and his Democratic regime than the race has fared under the Harding and Coolidge national administrations. To offset and overcome this deep-seated resentment towards the Republican party and its presidential ticket on the part of American Negroes, it behooves the G. O. P. leaders to not take everything for granted and continue to labor under the age-old impression that the Negro will vote blind for the candidate of the Republican party, when the race has about as much to expect from Governor Smith as from Secretary Hoover, according to the expressed opinion of so many outstanding race leaders of national republic. Again, the fact that so many Southern Democrats, who have always opposed men because of color, creed or class, are supporting Mr. Hoover and opposing Governor Smith, has led many Negroes, in even "Bam," to conclude that Governor Smith must be a mighty fine specimen of Americanism and democracy (in its larger sense), and these black Americans state that they are willing to take their chances with the Gotham governor; that in pursuing such a political course the race has very little to lose and probably much to gain. In politics, love and war, it is a good policy to take nothing for granted; for unforeseen incidents often transpire which alter the whole complexion of the situation, and cause losers to adulter in post-mortem lamentations. The Informer is an ardent supporter of Nominee Herbert Hoover, but this paper is speaking authoritatively when it warns the Republican leaders, if they want to hold the colored vote in all sections of the country, not to underestimate the pre-Smith sentiment among the Negroes of the United States. Why, already Colored "Smith-For-President" clubs have been organized in some of the Dixie states, to say nothing of the numerous Negro-Smith organizations in other sections of the country; and, with William M. McDonald, Ft. Worth race banker, politician and fraternalist the chief Smith backer of color in Texas. The Informer will not be surprised to see a strong and whirl organization launched among Texas Negroes to support and vote for Governor Smith. Many of the arguments now being advanced by these ebony-hued supporters of Nominee Smith are both logical and feasible, and heavy inroads are sure to be made in the normal Negro vote, unless the Republican leaders sense the situation and take immediate, definite and positive steps to overcome or counteract the Smith movement among erstwhile stalwart colored Republicans. In their zeal to elect Governor Smith president of the United States it appears that most or most of our racial brethren have been opposed to that fact that they cannot support for Senate Robinson, the Arkansas Negrophobe, who holds his senatorial seat due to the disfranchisement of colored citizens in that --- state, and the open and brazen disregard for the American constitution and its amendments! If Senator Robinson should become Vice-President Robinson, and if some unforeseen event should make him President Robinson, wouldn't the American Negroes be in a "heluva" fix? Selah! "THE SOUTH, INCORPORATED!" White business representatives from several Southern states held a meeting at Biloxi, Miss., recently, where a movement was launched to promote Dixie industry, especially foreign trade. The name of this organization is "The South, Incorporated," and the promoters plan to raise $5,000,000 over a ten-year period to prosecute the work of not only selling Southern commodities and products to the other sections of the country and even foreign nations, but to "sell" the South to the nation and world. This is a very worthy undertaking, but The Informer fears that the South will never enjoy the industrial prestige that was kers prior to the Civil War until racial prejudice is eliminated, or at least subordinated, throughout the commonwealths of "Bam." No individual or race can get very far afflicted with colorphobia, and the South's present low industrial, economic, educational and commercial status is attributable, chiefly, to the fact that this section devotes more time, energy and attention in its efforts to paddle and perpetuate racial prejudice than it does in trying to build up industries, promote commerce, develop trade and produce a symmetrical and intelligent citizenry. If the South devoted as much time and energy to the development of its natural resources and the resultant industrial prosperity and economic supremacy, as it does in the vain and silly attempt to keep the Negro in a servile attitude and serf condition, the Southland could then truthfully boast not so much of "white supremacy" as of industrial leadership and commercial supremacy. While the South has been preaching race hatred and "Negro inferiority" since the Civil War, the North has been making substantial gains and unprecedented progress along industrial, economic, commercial, educational, religious and even political lines, and today whatever the South needs, even to political leadership, this section must look to the North for it. The capstone to Southerners' education must be obtained in Northern and Eastern institutions of learning, and financial assistance for all big ventures projected in the South, even to the erection of mammoth office buildings and large hotels, must be secured from capitalists and investment brokers residing in other sections of the country. There is scarcely an office or household article used in the South which is a Southern product; and, despite the fact that the South leads the world in cotton production, this section must send its raw products to the textile centers of the North and East and then pay handsome prices for finished products. Man-power, a very important industrial factor, is a very cheap Southern commodity; yet the South, like the slightful servant with one talent, has buried its opportunity for industrial development and economic expansion, apparently fearful that the Negro might profit, somewhere, from such sensible and much-needed sectional program. Prejudice is a force of obstruction and destruction, rather than construction, and racial hatred and class distinctions have never built and maintained a well-rounded and efficiently-functioning civilization. Speaking both figuratively and literally, the South is a veritable Garden of Eden, but, like Father Adam, Dixie has fallen from grace, and great has been its fall! The work of reclamation and regeneration must be effected by Southerners, but before they can consummate, this much-desired transaction, they must get a new vision; in the language of the Holy Writ, they "must be born again," or else their efforts to sell the South to the outside world will meet with stiff reverses and encounter serious setbacks. Here's hoping that despite what is said to the contrary about "hellish, heathenish and humain" Mississippi, something good will finally come forth from the Mudcat State. Selah! LARGE BLOC OF DEPENDABLE VOTES Despite the editorial contention of The Informer that some efforts should be made to organize the 100,000 or more qualified and normally Republican colored voters of Texas for the Hoover-Curtis cause, no attempt has yet been made in this direction, either by the Republican leaders or the Negroes themselves. While The Informer realizes and recognizes that there is much objection to Governor Smith's candidacy on the part of thousands of Texas Democrats, this paper is also aware of the fact that this opposition and hostility will dwindle perceptibly before election day; that many of the professed Hoover-Democrats, learning that they can not vote for Mr. Hoover for president and Senator Robinson for vice-president, will either decide to "stomach" the wet protege of Tammany Hall and "swallow" the entire Democratic ticket from "president to constable," or be "absent without leave" on general election day. In other words, while the Republican leaders of Texas are pursuing the proper course in trying to corral these Hoover-Democrats, they should not overlook a good bet and bargain and fail or refuse to land fully 100,000 to 125,000 ballots from the hands of colored citizens of the Lone Star State. However, unless a statewide movement is launched and perfected to line up, educate and enlist these colored voters, The Informer fears that they will either remain away from the polls on election day, or a last-minute campaign will be conducted among them the Smith forces and thousands of these normally Republican voters will go to the Democratic presidential elections on Tuesday, November 6, 1928. There are visibly perturbed over the present partisan and political situation in this state, and notwithstanding all their anti-Negro propaganda and legislation, they would rather see Negroes vote for Governor Smith and Senator Robinson than see Texas give Secretary Hoover and Senator Curits its electoral votes. Therefore, any party leader with a modicum of sense and foreknowledge of the times, he should be able to interpret them and map out and execute his program to the best interests of the party, state and nation. Negroes in other Southern states have been or are being organized to push the candidacy of Mr. Hoover and Senator Curits, and it is high time that Texas Negroes were doing the same thing, if not doing the same thing, because the sign of the times, he should be able to interpret them and map out and execute his program to the best interests of the party, state and nation. Negroes in other Southern states have been or are being organized to push the candidacy of Mr. Hoover and Senator Curits, and it is high time that Texas Negroes were doing the same thing, if not doing the same thing, because the sign of the times, he should be able to interpret them and map out and execute his program to the best interests of the party, state and nation. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings LISTEN TO HERBERT HOOVER! M The American people have either to looked upon Herbert Hoover as an engineer. With him, the thing a counts more than the word, the deed more than the doctrine. When the hungry are starving, he does not weep; he feeds them. When the Department of Commerce is to be organized, embodying the spirit of the American genius Herbert Hoover stood first among a hundred million whose capacity was commensurate with the momentous task. When the "Father of Waters" overflowed his accustomed bed, deluging wide areas under his muddy flood, who but the great engineer was competent to cope with the magnitude of the disaster which this calamity entailed? He is the only American who gained any great enduring distinction out of the World War. Eight years ago, he was universally extolled by the American people and might have had the presidency handed to him on a silver platter, extended by either party, but for the asking. But fame is fleeting. Ten years after the Civil War, if the triunophant generals marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in January, the trees would put out green leaves, the old World War heroes, save one, evoke little or no popular acclaim. Herbert Hoover is that exceptional one. His name can still be conjured with. And so the great Republican party has been the World War and his part of him before the American people to their stamp of political approval.

This is the acid test of his moral integrity in which we all would believe. In this acceptance address he has told us that the Republican party is not a party of indirection. Will he also state that the grand old party order will no longer stand for the multifacility of the fourteenth and fifteenth ROBINSON'S and the other from the dark and lazy dungeon in the night time to the bright light, the Toultranger and the presence of B.

There is one great issue, however upon which both platforms agree to formal expression, with the reservability of understanding that the candidates would agree to terms of their own personal attitudes and conviction. Upon the question of prohibiting Governor Smith took the initiative. Before the ink was dry on the page, he wired from Albany to Houston his Liberal interpretation of the prohibition plank. This forced Mr. Howell to the position of a strict-licialist, which he was developed in his harms with his basic beliefs. After all the impending campaign will be waged, not about the eighteenth amendment in its essence and purpose, nor yet about prohibiting in the moral sense of the term, but about the definition of an intolerable leverage. The definition by the Vol-st and at this time time, it was stated act at this critical time. No integrity of the Eighteenth amendment and also upon the moral purpose of prohibition; but they differ profoundly upon the danger to prohibition and to the constitution continues in tampering with the Vol-st and at this time time. However, the Governor Smith, upon an in-percentage is sacred to him, to a long-term, is calculated to stand in-violate beyond the time it may be modified by a subsequent act. Congress can at any time alter the ration in the basic definition with the Johnson or reproach of nullification.

The conduct of the trial, according to the law, required him to be brazen. He writes that a motion to his activity, because of his activities, jury to try them, was overruled. He was also charged with the absence of witnesses, lack of evidence for defense, who also overruled. But, shucks, Lee, ef yu thinks we kids dident hav er good time, yu is sho way off.
