"The editorial in your paper for September 27 was well written, and agrees with everything you said, except I can not see how you can support Harper.

P. Jones, a executive committee of the state Democratic office, requesting work with Alabama Democrats for the election of Gov.

He puts it as follows: "The party Democrats of the South stand for gasoline and whisky with our pro-immigrant and prohibition law enforcement. We know how dangerous it would be to stir gasoline and whisky with our pro-immigrant and prohibition law enforcement. "The Democratic party of the South stands for white supremacy.

Johnson, colored Republican, was chosen at the primary held here recently for nomination to U. S. Congress from the 21st Congressional district. His victory independently, was badly beaten and in certain election districts, Lavelle did not receive a single vote. Johnson now becomes the recognized Republican nominee and the first man nominated for congress from his race since Dr. Roberts suffered defeat in 1924. He was also nominated by a closely District, by between Myles A. Paige, colored candidate and Abraham Grental, ended in another victory for Grental. This was a very bitterly contested election and its bitterness was increased by the charge that Grental was trying to deny colored men the right to be represe Exhibiting bruises on his head, face and body, and still spitting up blood, Lamar Dalton, 28-year old colored youth residing at 402 Ruthven, and employed at the Channel Draying Company, Seventy-fifth Street near Turning Basin, relates a story of an attack by white gangsters at the Exporters Cotton Compress several days ago. According to Dalton's version of the attack, he was driving a truck load of cotton from the Exporters compress to the Ship Channel, and as he attempted to leave the premises with about 20 bales of cotton, six or seven trucks loaded with country cotton were in his direct path. The country checker was checking this cotton, whereupon Dalton blew his horn for the right-of-way, stating that the roadbed was soft on the sides and if his heavy truck had got into the soft ground it would have been impossible to have got out. When he continued to sound his horn one of the white employees of the compress cursed him, Dalton asserts, and repeated the oath when the race youth asked him not to label him as a canine; the country trucks were finally moved and the colored driver given the roadway to carry his cotton on to the Ship Channel. ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT RULES BOYS TO HAVE NEW TRIAL New York City—Telegraphic advances from Scipio A. Jones, in Little Rock, to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, state that the supreme court of Arkansas has reversed the conviction of Robert Bell and Grady Swain, two colored boys, 14 and 18 years old, respectively, convicted of murder and sentenced to death after having been barbarously tortured to compel them to "confess" their guilt. The case of the boys enlisted the sympathy and aid of two white attorneys, W. J. Lanier and G. B. Scott, who were given financial aid by the N. A. A. C.P. Convinced that the boys were innocent of the crime charged and that they had been treated with inhuman brutality by Arkansas sheriffs and prison guards, the attorneys carried their cases on appeal before the highest tribunal of the state, which has now reversed the convictions. It is thought that there will be no further trial and that probably the boys will go free. After making the trip to the Ship Channel, according to Dalton, he returned to the Exporters compress for another load of cotton (his emulsion) for contract for hauling cotton from the coast to Sprunt docks), and while waiting for his load some one struck him a blow behind the head, while six or seven other white employees "ganged up" on him, stricking him with sticks while another, able-bodied white gambits stamped him in the stomach with their feet. Denied Medical Treatment Practically unconscious from the mobocratic attack, Dalton says he knew nothing until three colored youth came here, where they anyeded bleeding and plucked him upon a bale of cotton. He states that this brutal and barbaric attack occurred about 3 p. m., and that he lay there on the cotton until without any medical aid or attention. He further states that the ambulance the stool owner brought to the hospital at a cafe at San Joaquín and Claro, where the driver and attendant spent the night in the Clinic where a 30-minute stay was made; after which he was carried to At the latter place, according to FINAL NUMBER 20 RIEST NEGRO YOUTH OF HUNS TON FIRM and, face and body, and still spit-year old colored youth residing at the Channel Draying Company, King Basin, relates a story of an the Exporters Cotton Compress of the attack, he was driving a Exporters compress to the Ship to leave the premises with about trucks loaded with country cotton country checker was checking this his horn for the right-of-way, lift on the sides and if his heavy and it would have been impossible is horn one of the white employees salton asserts, and repeated the him not to label him as a canine; moved and the colored driver cotton on to the Ship Channel. Dalton, the doctor met him with the remark, "Guesse you'll be careful about cursing him men hereafter." Dalton says he informed him that the doctor reported by stating, "Well, I guess you'll see to it that the man gets better understanding next time." He further asserts that he was given virtually no food at this hospital, and nothing to eat his food with; that his wounds were not severe, and that he had off his head in front where there were no bruises and therefore no necessity for it being cut. 250 Negre Flee From Scene The most disgusting spectacle of the whole affair was the fact that between 200 and 250 colored employees at this compressor took to their heels when the six or seven Nordic ruffians and hoodlums in this compressor took their youth, whom they charged with having "curred a white man." No arrests had been made at hour five of the attack, and that the attack took place Tuesday, September 25. Dalton has been adjourned to the County grand jury, the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peasants, the Commission on Interracial Cooperation.

After a careful study of all the attending circumstances and conditions under which we, as colored citizens, are living and working in our organized citizenship, I have reached the following conclusion: First: Our only hope of extricating our voters from the semi-thrallion, civil and political disfranchisement, is continued alliance Republican party is the only organization that holds out to us any opportunities whatever to be enfranchised in civil liberties. The absolutely nothing to be gained by voting the Democratic ticket. The only reason to be a "white man's party" and the requirement to vote in that organization read as follows: "I am a white man." Let us fight shoulder to shoulder in the ranks of the G. O. P. till the time we get together on a plan of demanding our rights and concessions. We will present our grievances in an unminutakeable fail of consideration, we will call a national convention for the purpose necessary to bolt the party, let us bolt together. By remaining solidified, the Democratic party is hopefully able to be bidding for our support, but every vote cast for the Democratic nonincumbent Democratic rule and control across the Mason and Dixon line. Remember it was a Democratic administration brought about in the treasury and other departments in our national office. It was Mr. Hoover who abolished it. How many of our group who are willing to trade the civil liberties of a glass of beer? Some, no doubt, I understand that Governor Smith is a very fair-minded man in Mr. Hoover, but it is not a question of Smith and Hoover, but a question of Republicans anywhere north of the Mason and Dixon cross the Mason and Dixon line.

To the youth that raises the quantum what about the football team, yes, without any attention to the football seems to be looming in sight. All eyes are turned towards the first game which comes October 6 against the soldiers of Fort Bening.

It is commonly known that Atlanta University has now completely dropped its four-year high school as its junior school. On that account, the faculty and the alumni generally were prepared to see a very great shrinkage in numbers of thirty-five years ago when the grammar school was dropped. It is now a number and number of students admitted before the school really opened was above the enrollment of all of it last year and every student is of college grade.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED His BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE MARK. NO MORE AND NO MORE SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—BOOSEVELL. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1928 POLITICAL PROPAGANDISTS BUSY It seems quite a reflection upon our boasted civilization that political campaigns can not be conducted in this country without and slinging, charges running the gamut from treason to violation of traffic ordinances and all species of propaganda calculated to injure one candidate on one hand and to elect the other to the coveted office on the other. The employment of guttersnip and ward-heeling politics in a presidential race; the carrying on of a "whispering campaign" against nominees seeking the highest elective office in the republic; the injection of racial and religious issues into such a campaign; the appeals to prejudice, bigotry and intolerance; the case and malicious misrepresentations of the candidates, should have no place in a nation which lays claims to enlightenment, culture, refinement and Christianity. When it comes to bartering prejudice, bigotry and intolerance, it is readily apparent that the section of the country which shouts the loudest, places greatest stress upon the "superiority" professes to be the most ardent devotee of Christian principles, and otherwise assumes the holier side than the attitude, spends most of its time and energy on a pernicious program. It is the inherent and constitutional right to advocate the election of the candidate of his choice without at the same time impinging the motives of another who chooses to support the opposing candidate. There is a great moral issue involved in the present campaign, and, as in the great moral question preceding the Civil War, we find the Democratic party and the "solid South" allied and aligned with the forces which seek to restore the great evil (liquor traffic) which ever held away in the United States. The Informer does not oppose Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic presidential nominee, because of his religious beliefs, but because Nominee Smith is advocating the nullification of the national constitution, and the legalizing of the booze business on a "modified" scale again in this country. Furthermore, The Informer opposes Mr. Smith due to the fact that he is the candidate of the political party which does not believe in the strict and rigid enforcement of any constitutional stipulation or provision, unless such legislation suits the fancy and convenience of their sectional habitat. Governor Smith is the standard-bearer of the one political party in all American history which always opposes moral issues and does not believe in nor practice the democratic doctrine of "all men up and no man down." Governor Smith's party in the South has been a dead weight around the neck of Miss Columbia, and, instead of making her the "gem of the ocean," the Democratic party has made Miss Columbia the disgrace of civilization. If a man is judged either by the company he keeps, or by the company that keeps him, then Governor Smith is certainly running in bad political company! But even Governor Smith's political and partisan allies and supporters constitute no sane, valid and rational reason why he should be opposed because of his religious belief and ancestry; for no man is responsible for his ancestry, and if the old game is started of drawing skeletons out of the family closets, we fear that there would be some awful revelations and startling disclosures made in this country. By the same token Mr. Hoover, the Republican presidential nominee, should not be villed and slandered because certain of his official acts, in strict conformity with the United States civil service rules and regulations, evoked the wrath and displeasure of certain alleged Americans who do not seem to comprehend the true spirit and real meaning of democracy and Americanism. However, the leaders of the two major political parties should not be alarmed and disturbed at the "whispering campaign" now being conducted against their presidential candidates, for the sin of moral cowardice has about engulfed this country, and very few persons are open and square shooters—they, in keeping with the great American pastime of mobocracy and anonymity, will do their dirty work from ambush. Personally, The Informer considers both presidential nominees fine and outstanding Americans, but this paper believes that the election of Mr. Hoover will redound to the better and best interests of the great American commonwealth. The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper The country was shocked last week when news of the disastrous fire at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College, located about forty-five miles north of Houston, told of the heavy loss due to the destruction of the college hospital and the home of the resident or college physician. The early morning blaze not only razed these frame structures to the ground, but claimed the life of one female student, Miss Missouri Taylor of Houston, who was unable to get out of the building. The student-nurses, who occupied quarters on the third floor of the frame hospital building, were forced to jump to safety, many of them sustaining serious injuries in the jumps and falls; while all of their personal belongings were consumed by the conflagration. Because the origin of the fire, the state of Texas can not escape its responsibility for failing to provide a fire-proof and modern hospital building for this state institution of learning, the only one in Texas operated for Negro education by the state. For Prairie View Board (white) and members of the Texas legislature, as well as other leading white citizens who visited this school campus, saw this fire-trap employed for hospital purposes, and yet no provision was ever made to replace the frame structure with a modern, fire-proof building. It is true that announcement was made several months ago that $100,000 was available for the erection of a hospital at Prairie View, but this money represented an unconditional gift to the school by the General Education (Rockefeller) Board of New York City; and even when that gift was originally made, it was stated on good authority that the money would be used to construct a building for community or college activities which could not be held out of doors. The failure of Texas to provide a suitable hospital building for this state school, as regrettable and lamentable as it is, can not be altered now, as it relates to the burned fire-trap; but for the present our attention should be directed to those students and nurses who lost their all in the fire, and must be given financial assistance at once to aid them in getting regulation clothing, shoes, etc., in order that they can continue their ministrations to the sick and feeble at this state institution of learning. Principal W. R. Banks, in sending out an appeal, asks that only cash donations be made, since the nurses can wear only regulation clothing and shoes. He urges that all cash donations be forwarded immediately to Prof. C. H. Waller, chairman relief committee, Prairie View College, Prairie View, Texas. Here is an excellent opportunity for a bit of home missionary work, and The Informer hopes that our people will respond at once to this urgent appeal from Prairie View College. HOUSTON'S MAYORALTY CAMPAIGN The city executive committee of the Democratic party has designated Saturday, December 1, 1928, as the day for the "white man's primary" election to choose the mayor, four city commissioners and city controller for the next two ensuing years. Already candidates are filing for the various offices, while the executive committeemen are cutting some peculiar capers in their avowed intention to disqualify all Democrats who vote for the Hoover-Curtis presidential electors in the general election Tuesday, November 6, 1928. If the city Democratic committee carries out this threat, and if the thousands of local Democrats cast their votes for Mr. Hoover as they have already indicated they will do, it begins to appear as if the local Democrats are in for quite a hectic battle. In support of their contention that they can disqualify Democratic "bolters" and defectionists, the city executive committee commends the recent decision of Federal Judge J. Hutcheson H., in holding against O. P. DeWalt J. and B. Giorgio, two race leaders who sought a mandatory writ to compel the county Democratic executive committee to permit them to vote in the July and August primaries held by the Democratic party, gives them full authority to determine who shall be qualified to cast a ballot in such partisan elections. Many local Democrats, who have placed patriotism above party and are determined to vote for Hoover for president of the republic, are literally "up in arms" at the latest ectified issue by the city party leaders, and are threatening to resort to court proceedings. The court's clause is printed on the ballots for the municipal primary election. Members of other political parties in the city, who will also be disqualified by such ruling, should not be caught mapping; and if these tax-paying citizens are denied a right to vote in such an important primary election, then they should organize their forces to take advantage of the next spring to oppose the nominees of the December 1 primary. With the city Democratic primary election being held during 1928, and with ample time between December 1, 1928, and January 31, 1929, for voters to qualify to exercise their elective franchise right in the various elections of next year, those citizens who will not be permitted to vote in the election on December 31, 1929, will be the general city election which will not be held until April, 1929. Most assuredly there is nothing in the city charter which makes it mandatory upon the voters of Houston to elect only Democrats to the offices of mayor, city commissioners and controller. Furthermore, Houston is the only large city in Texas, with one possible exception, where partisan politics obtain in the election. The only group of voters to be the opinion that 1929 will be as good a year as any to plan a group of Texas municipalities holding non-partisan city elections. Banish Blackheads Algrernon B. Jackson, M. D. The happiness of young people in their teens and of older ones, too, is often marred by the appearance of blackheads on otherwise healthy skin. They occur through an abnormal functioning of the fat glands which secrete an over-abundance of oil, absorb dirt and dust, and become irritated. The skin also becomes clean is the best external treatment for these unightly blemishes. Unless the skin is exceptionally dry it is important to wash the face with a good oil soap and warm water at night. Wash the face with cool to bed. Rinse with warm water. ter, then follow with a dash of cold water, then face the face once or twice a week is beneficial. Always conclude with a cold rinse. If rubbed over the face is especially good for any but tender skin, and leaves in a ingw. When pressing out the blackheads—which should be done with a warm compress—sponge the part of the skin affected with alcohol, and apply the alcohol again after the blackheads are removed. More thorough curve, a simple daily diet which includes milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, six glasses of water, and no fried foods, must be followed. In the open air, with plain water, exercise in the open air, with plain water, and daily cleaning with soap and warm water are a whole healthy diet. Hoover and Smith on Prohibition Hoover and Smith on Prohibition BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D.C. If Hoover is elected, he cannot enforce the Volstead act; if Smith is elected, he cannot repeal it. In any case, he cannot enforce it. In a still, Painful experience proves that no organic law can be enforced unless it wants an enforcement bill. The choosing of the president by the electoral college is an example of the average voter, and for this, this provision of the constitution became practically nullified. The fugitive constitutional provision was nullified by the outraged conscience of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the effectually nullified out of deference to stubborn Southern proponents of the constitution has been ignored by tacit consent of both parties, without any considerable threat. The Southern proponents inference is that the only effective way to enforce any law, constitutional and statutory, is to arouse the Why, then, advocate Hoover rather than Smith on the liquid issue, knowingly abandonment cannot be enforced in face of existing public feeling? The governor cannot be enforced in the present phase of the liquid question. The governor Smith, if he became president, would no doubt have the same desire or good intention to enforce the laws of the constitution like contingency. But the governor's campaign declarations tie his own hand to the complete disagreement the governor complish the desired end and his avowed intention to advocate its importance and the unfriendly sentiment which his pronouncements engender make him a candidate in his own path. He can commit to fill his promise. Every time he makes a single convert to his position he must make a public advocacy in his own path. He can commit to modify which his public advocacy holds up to the law of agreement only unless the governor Smith can modify the law the weakest the chance of his public advocacy proceed to modifying the frame of agitation precedent to modifying the law, but it is practically impossible for him, with his unfriendship, to modify the law. Let us for a bit look back of the amendment and the Volvo act to demand that the Volvo act be amended to the attitudes on the contending candidates on the fundamental question of prohibition. While Mr. Hoover wrote the amendment as a moral principle, he has not declared against it as Mr. Hoover. The second amendment as a "noble experiment" to be dealt with constructively requires the second amendment as a "noble experiment" to be dealt with destructively. Mr. Hoover says: "I will fill Mr. Hoover with the attitude: Mr. Smith: "I will destroy it." A dry is one who believes in proposition on moral grounds; we often call it a moralist. A cohesive fencing schools of view are distributed between two parties in something that is not clearly defined, the eighteenth amendment enforced in its unmodified integrity; the wielding of cross-cleave of party ties, the cross-cleave of party ties, the election. It will project itself through out the incoming administration into the third or fourth successive election. There must be a clear majority of the presely declared for prohibitions, disengaged from other issues. This presely declared for prohibitions, disengaged from other issues. There was but one essential plank in the platform upon which Abraham Lincoln was but a preparatory step. But this step should point in the position that it is unfortunate that this moralization did not precede the enactment. It grew out of the expediency of the war which must now be under control. It grew out of the expediency of the people. The genuine dry should vote for the drier of the two candidates men who are absolutely dry. After OPINIONS all, the issue must be determined in congress and not in the White House. The people are the masters of conspiracy Hover and Smith, Smith and Hover-two high-minded, upright, conspicuous patriotic American citizenry. They are the ones who analyze and compare them, and choice is difficult. On farm relief, flood insurance, and efficiency of administration, and even on the race problem, one might choose. But on the race problem and its moral meaning they are far apart as the poles. The genius goes up: Smith goes down. THE MIRROR (Continued From Page One) "greatest hitting club in the history of the Southern Association," wrote the newspaper articles; the Bufs' eager defulc back and coping for straight games after losing the first game was a hard test. There is a lot of truth in the assertion that a man may be down straight games at the start of the series, the Bufs have knocked the Bufs for a couple of games at the start of the series, the Bufs have knocked the Bufs to strive harder to win every game thereafter. Houston and the best of the best baseball clubs in minor leagues, it begins to look as if the Bufs have a special stellar player before the 1922 season. Houston and Texas owe President Frank Anheman, Manager Frank Anheman, and ballooners a profound gratitude for "bringing the bacon home," the ballooners a profound gratitude to a repetition of the act in 1929.
