Houston Informer

ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE. ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS VOLUME THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON In presenting Miss Ernestine Jessie Covington, Houston's celebrated pianist and race's outstanding musical prodigy, the Antioch Baptist Church, which is sponsoring a recital featuring this young lady Tuesday night, October 30, is doing a real piece of home missionary work. We do not mean to infer that Miss Covington will be in need of the money we will be able to do here from this concert, nor that the Houston public is lacking in its appreciation of the ability of this talented musician; but it is very befitting and gratifying to the public to hear the music of this sinuary society annually presents some type of cultural program, should select a Houston product for its major effort this year. In the presentation of Miss Covington, the church promoters have taken the opportunity to showcase the work of making money as much as showing the church's and community's appreciation of a local product who has already reflected much credit and renown upon her city, state and race. Heretofore, Miss Covington has appeared as a student, but having completed her four-year study in New York City under the most eminent music masters of the country (having won four competitive years in the 1900s), she is a award-winning, Julliard Musical Foundation, to outstanding music pupils for advanced study along their particular lines), the forthcoming recital will feature her more in the role of artist. The present work of this brilliant young pianist be encouraged by home folks in her premiere as an artist or finished product, but by according her other recognition and honor due her other young people, musically best, will receive inspiration to strive to attain the highest and best in the realm of music. According to a newspaper article, a colored man appeared at the Jefferson Davis (county-tly) Hospital—the same institution from which Robert Powell, colored city employee, was seized on June 20 and treated to a dose of the celebrated American lyching concoction as a preliminary to the Democratic National Convention, which subsequently nominated Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York as party presidential standard-bearer—with knifew ounds in his body, informing hospital attendants that he had been severely stabbed in the chest with a knife. Hospital attaches, according to the news article, expanded this injured man's position and decided that it was not serious; whereupon police officers were called to the hospital to arrest the wounded Negro because the hospital attendants charged that the black man had been drinking intoxicating beverages. When the wounded black man reached the police station, the desk man was also present, who is neither a physician, nurse, hospital attendant or attache, immediately observed that the man was too ill for a jail berth and sent the Negro back to this (in)famous hospital in an ambulance, but, alas the man with the slight wound died before the ambulance reached the hospital. Numerous charges have been made concerning the treatment accorded colored patients at this charity hospital, and yet the present city administration refuses to transfer these colored patients to the Houston Negro Hospital. The Department of Justice and medically impossible for them or any member of the race to receive worse treatment than that being given most of the colored inmates of this county-city hospital, according to the testimony of Negroes who have gone to Jefferson Davis Hospital for treatment and related relatives or friends there as patients. We would certainly register strenuous objections to our life being enmured by the medical profession of any physician, nurse or hospital attendant whose examination and a dnd examination would have to immediate fatal results in the recent case of Samuel Davis, 1204 Boston College, in which his indifference, prejudice, ignorance, stupidity or downright lateness of Jefferson Davis Hospital attaches. I do not think much of a Negro's life, and, having seen how Powell was lynched and the result faunces him in form I am certain he would be in these hospital attendants cared little if another black man's life was sacerdotic. I am not sure justice, hatred, bigotry and intolerance (Will Mayor Hallage please lead us in prayer)? . . .

As the shades of a Texas autumn sun were enveloping the Fair Park Stadium, where the thrilling and hectic contest had been bitterly waged, as the irresistible force and immovable object clashed on the gridiron, the Wiley supporters, for who three years had seen their team emerge on the short end of the score in these annual tilt with the Sooner State gridders, rent the air with a shout of joy and exultation; for the fact that Wiley had held to a tie her traditional enigma was sufficient reasons for shouting and rejoicing on the part of the purple and white adherents. Langton made a touchdown and field runner, constituted the outstanding feature of the game, course of minutes after the referee's whistle had officially put the game under way, and it began to appear as if the "Langton jinx" was again hanging heavy on the Wildcats, who had been the team's most successful training in their East Texas tail for this football clause, under the exact training of Coach Long. The team was unbounded by the early scoring of the Oldhamians, and continued to rush fresh reserves into the fray as the fighter trained in their East Texas tail for this football clause, under the exact training of Coach Long.

OPPOSED SEGREGATION UNDER WOODROW WILSON CHCAGO DEMS SUPREME COURT BACK COLORED WILL HEAR BESS SMITH EFFORT CASE NOVEMBER New York.—A brief history of the fight against segregation in Washington government bureau, carried out by the advocacy organization for the Advancement of Colored People, has been made public at the association's offices, 69 Fifth Avenue. In the policy of segregating government employees was extended and fortified under President Wilson, once once victorious against the plight of the parture. A letter signed for the N. A. G. J. by Moorfield president, Katherine Waldwalt G. Villard, pointed out the fallacy of the defense of segregation on the basis of safety in the possession of their jobs in all-Negro bureaues or sections; and the limitation in opportunity inflicted by the practice. In 1913, Mary Childs Nerney then secretary of the N. A. C. A. P., made a report on an investigation that had undertaken in which she wrote: "Segregation is no new thing in Washington and the present administration, but it has been augmented it. The past few months of Democratic party control, however, have been marked by more than a beginning of systematic enforcement. A policy of the present government. "The effect is startling. Those people are regarded as a much smaller set apart, a much smaller set of allaying race prejudice, as some of the advocates of segregation would have been made." Chicago, III—(ANP)—At a recent meeting of the Democratic managing committee of Cooke County, special preparations were made for endorsing Governor Smith and Democratic candidates on the state and county tickets, under the leadership of Atty. Earl B. Dickerson. An executive committee of major A. J. E. Patterson, Atty. A. J. John L. Pullen, Edgar G. Brown, and one colorled leader from each of nineteen wards with a large colored population, was selected to conduct the campaign. The new organization of colored voters has been assigned headquarters in the Sherman hotel and every room in the city, the support of colored voters for Governor Smith and the state and county tickets.

SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR BESS CASE NOVEMBER Columbia, S. C.—(ANP)—Action on the appeal of the case of Ben Bess will be taken at the November term of the supreme court, according to present indications. The attorney general of the state has said that he would be willing to accept the appeal, J. Frederick, attorney for Bess, has asked that the case be set off until the November term so that he might have time for the printing of the records. The appeal for a supreme court hearing was filed last Saturday. Recently the circuit court upheld the revocation of a pardon granted Bess by the governor after the complainant in the case for which he was convicted of a crime, and for confessing that the testimony she had made to convict Bess was untrue. Bess was sent to serve thirty years in prison, and the woman. He has served thirteen years, sell his "medicines," at least for the present. It is the effect of a decision of the state supreme court, handed down this morning, in which a permanent sentence was imposed. Price Dale last December is dissolved. On the ground that the wrong legal counsel was involved in the case and that trial by jury was denied the "doctor," the court reversed the chancellor's decision and dis DIXIE GOVERNOR OPPOSES BLACKS REGISTERING Baton Rouge, La.—(ANP)—Governor Long will remove from office any registrar of voters who encourages Negroes to register for participation in the coming presidential election. "Any registrar of voters who puts Negroes on his rolls without their coming up for the strictest requirements will be removed from office, and I am the man who will put them out," stated Long. The statement was made at a meeting of the East Baton Rouge Parish Good Roads Association at which both Long and O. K. Allen, chairman of the Louisiana Highway Commission, spoke in favor of proposed four cent gasoline tax to be voted upon at the time of the presidential poll. Governor Long devoted a great portion of his address to a heated indictment of the Republican party and its practice. The black and tan element in the party received most of his attention and Perry Howard, from Mississippi, and Walter Cohen, collector of customs at New Orleans, both were hit with warm invitations.

Uncle Sam Gives Indians Millions Exclusively in trated Feature Week With Each Copy of This News Uncle Sam Indians --- Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—During the past fourteen years the Department of the Interior has received and disbursed $573,772,953 for the Osage Indians of Oklahoma. Every individual among the 2,229 accredited members of the tribe has during that time received or had placed to his credit more than $95,000 as his share of the moneys arising from the leasing of Osage lands for oil and gas. These figures summarize the moneys that are handled for this richest group of the government's Indian wards. They are set out by the George Wright, superintendent of the Osage Indian Agency, Fawhuaca, Oklahoma, in his annual report to the department. The income of the Osages from oil and gas royalties and bonuses, the report states, is now decreasing each year. During the year the funds invested in government bonds have been reduced from $19,000,000 to $16,000,000, and a further reduction of doubtless will be necessary soon. The deposits in banks in Oklahoma to the credit of the Indians of Oklahoma are increase, being now approximately $14,500,000, although the number of depoitories has decreased from 200 to 186. The quarterly annuity payments are also decreasing. The total amount paid per share which ran as high as $13,400 in 1926, during the fiscal year 1925, was $5,700 and it estimated is the payments for the fiscal year 1925, will go below $5,000 per share.

"Practically all Oaage children live in the city and in the schools. A good nice of coopera- tion exist between this office and the county's school officials and teachers. The Osage Indians pay taxes on their land and property, their homesteads only being exempt from taxation, and no tuition is paid for Osage pupils attending public schools. “With reference to employment among the Osage Indians, a few of them secure employment locally but the great majority of them do not desire employment and would not consider the same if offered to them.” “The tribal organization consists of a principal chief, assistant chief, and a council of eight members. They are elected in June of each even year. At the election in June, 1923, Mr. Fred Lookout was re-elected principal chief. “With reference to the use made of funds paid to the Indians, there is no doubt but what much of it is dissipated in various ways with but little benefit to the Indians. For a number of years the Osages have received a very large payment running as a rule from $1,500 to $4,000 per share per quarter and have become improvident in their expenditures and more or less extravagant in their costs and made of living. This is a difficult method of control, but no doubt will be overcome in future years as the payments are becoming less and less each year.” DAMON SHOOTS PYTHIAS ARGUING ABOUT BOARD New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—Mose Tousant, grocer, was shot in the right side by his long-time friend, Perry Owens, during an argument over a small board.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPA Weekly Excursions BY ALICE DUNAR NELSON (For the Associated Negro Press) That was an interesting group of women who met at Englemeere, Pa. last week to discuss the church and its relation to the inter-racial question. They attended a seminal session of the Inter-Racial Conference of Church Women, initiated by the women of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council. In cooperation with the Council of Women for Home Missions, and the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association, they met equal proportions of colored and white. There were about seventeen of both races would be hard to meet, and they met a more representative body of women of both races would be hard to meet. They met Wednesday, the 18 and 19, and carried out a most crowded program. They were not only necessary little enough time for discussion, and you rather f 15 and Wednesday, so far into the realm of applied religion and social science and the race question.

Coming down on a stormy night—such as was last Thursday, when we got the tail end, and a very business-like tail end, of the West Indian hurricane is another story. But there had been too much emphasis upon faith and courage in the conference that the grinding of the brakes, the roar of second gear, the blinding rain and the slippery down-grade were unnoticed.

Mrs. Richard Westbrook of New York is chairman of the committee. Dr. George Haynes, by virtue of his chairmanship, was efficiently handling the business end of the conference. The Churches, was efficiently handling the walk of life and work was represented, and ably so.

That is why so much inter-racial work loses the respect of the discerning, provokes the amusement of the critical, and occurs in the error of the justness of the But to the present-day "lookers" in this field, much that has been sentimental bosh is being thrown out of doors, and the real facts are being faced in a manner that is heartening to the well-wishers of both races.

Mountain peaks of religious experience are wonderful in personal retrospect, but far better is a searching after actual facts and conditions in various communities, and definite discussions of ways and means to better those conditions.

Clover. Republican Candidate for President, D. C. Dear Sir, As an American citizen belonging to a minority group whose national rights are being infringed up on with shameful impunity, I am undertaking to write you on behalf of ten million loyal and patriotic American citizens of African descent, wish to confain in the outset that my management is the self-schooled management of my race deriving conditions all Negro leaders, so called, are either self-chosen or hand picked. The only competency claimed rests on the fact that for many years I have given up my political problem in its political as well as moral aspects@which justifieth the assumption of faith to fathom the workings of the colored man's mind and the moral character of an understandable term. The competency of the essayist and the essayist of the ten million of my race. I shall aim to state the racial attitude just before nothing extimated and nought set down. I was the first or among the first of the colored race to advocate your rights, and I press and in at least one national daily. This I did at a time when many of the students occupying the front seat on the Hoover band wagon, were sitting on the hustopist discerning the signs of the political wedge of the political wedge. I favored your nomination and election because I believed that you were the best candidate for the American electorate. I still hope to adhere to this attitude as fully as possible. But candor compels me to confess that my zeal for the triumph of the "grand old party" whose standpoint all but to the freezing point by unforeseen happenings, leading up to, transpiring at, and growing out of, the No sooner was the convention adjourned than did your management enter in operation. First, the field must be cleared of every Negro leader who functioned effectively in the operation. This was necessary to make place for their lily-white planters. These must all be discarded or removed from the lily-white participation. The tactics of the bourbon Democrats in overthrowing the regime of recounting the Negro official odings in the eye of the nation by fixing upon a criminal committee from Mississippi, the Negro official odings from Mississippi, was indicted, be prosecuted by one of your chief lieutenants, on a charge of treason, and be fined twice when he had assisted to secure appointment. Benjamin J. Davis, national committee from Mississippi, charged with charge and maneuvered out of his commitmenship. Walter Cohen, surveyor of the port of Louisiana, the Republican party in Louisiana, was indicted at an earlier stage, for violation of the Volunteer Militia relegated to make room for his 'lily-white supplaner. Robert R. Church, who controlled the political fortune of the Republican party in a congressional district of Pennsylvania, issued a list of extorting tactics for political insurrection. The list every Southern Negro leader has been discredited, cast down from places of power. The rule of the lily- I understand that you desire to set up a new leadership, white and black, but why begin with the poor Negro whose hands are blacker than the rest, only by reason of physical punishment, by reason of mindsets of its highest officials, has been mirrored the government indignation. When the Negro is out evading the slightest indication of spontaneous resentment or righteous indignation, When the Negro is out evading the worst embodied Republican circles, fingers fly to the lips signalling a minister and circumcision "should indeed purge and purify itself of the record covering the first part of the past eight years, of New functionaries, whose alleged misdeeds involve only a few thousand dollars, who have a deep feel mind as being either genocidal or Mr. Secretary, I often wonder if you are senile of the deep injury that has been inflicted on me by petrified in your name, and on your behalf, are inflicted upon the republic, vitally dependent upon its reputation, as all weak people are. The imminent danger should not be entrusted with public power by reason of racial venality or other half generation to outlive the curse which those who overthrow reconstruction inflicted upon this race should be entrusted with power of that experiment to innate Negro effervency to stand up to the floor of congress and point to fabricated misdeeds of Negro participants as the result of the enslavement to trustvert power in Negro hands. In my judgment, for the Republican party, half to lend the sanction of its approval to this evil propaganda against the rest cut of all. No political party within our history has ever persecuted a more dastardly piece of villainy. Let me be perfectly frank. I am willing to concede that in the present situation, I must be fictitious to the point of impossibility to build up an effective competitive Republican party in the South under the pressure of the national effort to carry out your evident purpose to split the "solid South," it may have been necessary to remove Negroes from the South and reorganize the Theodore Roosevelt declared this to be his policy in building up a Progressive party in the South. He was a man of age and candor of his policy. He stated frankly that he would place white men at the head of the table, black men at the head of the table, white, but under the existing conditions, they were better instruments with which to carry out his purpose. He would color men to find their places at the table according to their ability, weight and worth. His policy was THE HOUSTON INFORMER; SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1928 1.

I do not want to be understood as saying that your scheme will not be successful. I am merely trying to impart to you the effect that it must inevitably have upon the mind of the Negro. I have seen it stated that 1,500,000,000 lily-whites flock to your standard religious fanaticism, creed a biot哲. It is a intolerable will cover their false face under the veil of temperance. The political benefits of bigotry will probably more than compensate for the loss of loyalty and love of the eliminated Negro. You may indeed be victorious, but it will be a victory in which the Negro can have no enthusiasm and gladness. The things which I have set forth so far have taken place since the seperter of the Republican party has passed from the guiding hand of President Coolidge into your own. In order to make the case complete and to give a full view of the Negro's position will not be briefly as consistent with adequacy, but the more general complaints against the reactionary tendency of the "grand old party" whose leadership now devolves upon your shoulders. The Repubitan party gave the Negro his freedom, citizenship and enlightenment, and poses a debt of gratitude which is hard to repay. But it is a law of human psychology that that gratitude is a kind of latent attitude of the benefactor. Whenever a Pharah arises that knows not Joseph, a Moslem who emerges that has been a Muslim, Basha has said that it is needless to refer to Washington and Lincoln in the campaign for the issues of slavery and Charles Summer, Thaddeus Stevens and the galaxy of brilliant Repubitan leaders in the three Civil War amendments into CHRIST best of all, a t tive to your he will make it ea range from 5c shopping out o WEBSTER ERHAPS you haven't even thought of your Christmas cards yet, but you are going to order some between now and Christmas, so why not have it over with?

It is a ninth heir to the throne, a ninth paid fear of perpetuity for benefactions of a bygone time on the wave of a spent moral force. Reaction set in with the overthrow of the monarchy, now developed into positive apostasy. I will not trace the entire reactionary history but will deal only with the last two Republican administrations. Haiti, our little black sister of her virtue of self-sovereignty. A similar assault seems to be planned upon Liberia. Of course, material advantage and a substantial reward have been presented in Extremadura Alluring gifts usually precede seduction. The deluded notion that the United States can take away the sovereignty of lesser states and return it back to them after its imperial passion has been satisfied is a new notion in political science and involves a self-contained absurdity. The imperial policy of the Republican party is giving this country the reputation of being the big bully instead of the big on the west. The feeler of the government is better than good government, for in time self-government will fight its way up to good government; but, good government has no guaranteed continuance without self-government. All of this is calculated to belittle the Negro race in general, and the American Negro in particular as being incapable and unworthy of governmental authority. Both Presidents Harding and Cool Sight are referred to as the "Algeric Negro Minister" to the Negro republic of Haiti, a precedent set by President Grant and followed by Republican presidents till the time of Taft. The number of Negroes holding important appoints positions was steadily declined since the days of Theodore Roosevelt.

I notice that your campaign managers have been unable to the effect that over fifty thousand Negroes are employed in the public service, which is praiseworthy as far as lacking in candor in not giving Woodrow Wilson's administration credit. The Republican party deserves only a minor measure of credit. It is also a lower level of the public service at an average salary which falls below a minimum of a decent living wage. It is also a reasonable representation in the higher levels as well as in the lower ranks. The last two Republican administrations have manipulated the manipulation of the civil service machinery in order to give him out of his just dues. When a loyal and patriotic American citizen is indicted and wins over other competitors, and is then deprived of the promised reward by tricky contempt, the game is fixed in accusing the government of sharp practice which would not be allowed to house. Good sportmanship requires that the one who makes the rules of the game should certainly play the game, and not be the one owning making. As result of this sharp practice (I hate to use such an ugly epithet against the government) the man was forced to leave the classified service. I entered the government service as a service officer on the days when Grover Cleveland was president and the Theodore Roosevelt was civil service commissioner. Mr. Roosevelt's career, took the firm position that every applicant should have a square foot of office. This he was upholded by the courageous FIRST IN REAL NEWS PAGE CIRCLE Democratic president, Grover Cleveland. Why should the race now expect less at the hands of a Republican administration? The process of segregation has grown up in the public service durings of the 1960s and 1970s, for us to suppose, for the sake of argument, a Democratic administration inaugurated this undemocratic policy, still two subsequent Republican ones have done little or nothing to undo it. It is not a tawdry that the "grand old party," which now sets apart qualified Negro public servants as if they were citizens, has not done that party that wrote into the constitution the phrase "without regard to race or color." Race is grateful to you. Mr. Hoover, by abrogating segregation in the department over which you preside, it was welcome, even if come to your attention, in administration. Great pressure is being brought to bear by your lily-wilde prolesm to have you deny, disavow and come to your attention American and Republican act. This is but a suggestion of the price you would pay for your lily-wilde reenforcement. The Ku Klux Klan sprung up after the Civil War for the express purpose of "protecting" the measure of his rights as an American citizen. The Republican party of that day destroyed that evil and wicked organization upon the heels of the World War for the same un-American purpose. The Ku Klux Klan was then able to qualify as a one hundred percent American, one must be white and have a dark complexion to meet the second test but cannot possibly measure up to the first. The Ku Klux Klan met in the South and in the Democratic party, but was driven body and baga-ge from that party, declaring that they were four years ago. It then sought and found hospitality in the Republican party, and was abducted to the West and North. It has gained all but complete control of the western states, notably in Indiana, where it now has two governors—one in the penitentiary and one out. The wicked work-ings of the klan under the administration abandoned the proceedings with shocking suddenness at the suggestion of influential politicians who feared the During the present campaign, Governor Smith, your agile adversary, has condemned the klan with his accustomed frankness and courage, but up to date neither you, nor Mr. Work nor any other orthodox Republican of high party rank has opened his prudent lips. In face of all of these things the Negro is fully justified in the belief that this michievous order which practices the wizardry of wickedness and which communicates in whispers and works under cover of darkness because its deeds are evil, has sought and found asylum in the household of its ancient foe—the Republican party. You will have to be a very skillful housekeeper, Mr. Secretary, if you hope to manipulate a political household which shall contain as inmates both the Negro and the Ku Klux Klan. These are some of the difficulties and perplexities which confront the Negro as to which fork of the politics of the American American people have to be carried out. I have said nothing about the Democratic party for the obvious reason that its historic attitude, so far as the Southern contingent is concerned, to the�-up, hostile to the negro political rights. The Negro owes the Democratic party nothing, and it owes him little or nothing. Tradition and inertia impels the Negro to follow the American American people. The American Grant and Sumner, and at the same time to antagonize the party which exposed slavery, opposed the Civil War, amendments, and antagonized the American nationalism. But Negroes and whites, Republicans and Democrats, are forgetting the things that are past and are preaching forward to the high calling of the American people. The anti-racism friendly attitude towards the Negro is no longer a matter of party creed, but of geographical latitude. Northern Democrats are every whit with a far-reverend to the�-up of race and race-type. In the other hand, the distinction in racial attitude between a Southern Democrat and a Southern lily-white Republican is the same thing. It used to be said that when the Democratic party succeeded the national power, the Southern Negro matters would gain the upper hand and the lower power will be the welfare of the race. But if your lily-white policy succeeds you will owe your success largely to the same line of Negro batters who are shifting from their increased control to the Republican side of the fence. He has the power to be the poor Negro is left little margin of choice. Many, many Negroes will vote the Democrat against the protest against the apathy of the public party. A slap in the face of a Democrat will deepen the hurt than a like blow from the hand of an awed enemy. The Negro is human and will be acquainted by the Negro. During the campaign of four years ago, Mr. John W. Davis, Democratic senator, and Senator Robert L. LaFollette, who led the Progressive, both seethroughly denounced the evil purpose of the Kvv president, who was both the Republican president and candidate for self-sucession, remained an silent as the spitup, and the president, in the form of the order the president forwrote with a padlock upon the lips of his runners-up, "the old party" seemed to be "neither avowals or disavowals, but votus." This was the origin of the whispering which seems to be still in operation. WHY NOT CULTIVATE THE NEGRO REPUBLIC VOTE OF TEXAS The Dallas Express: It seems that both the Express and the Negro Republican agree on the need for the cultivation of the tremendous Negro vote of this state by the Republican party; a thing which is not now being definitely done. Several weeks ago the Express called attention to such a thing that the former expressed the same sentiments in such a way that they should be unable to escape the direct consideration of the leaders of the party. It is literally true that, taking into consideration the possible access of the former expressed Democrat, Hower from disatisfied Democrat, the Negro Republican vote of this state, together with the white Republican vote, would be sufficient to land the now apparent contest. That such steps are not being taken is to be wondered at in the light of now apparent conditions, and that every energy must be bent if there is to be Republican success in the actual vote. Tremendous strength lies in the Negro voters of Texas, all of whom may be safely listed in the Republican column, if they are but cultivated and shown the necessity of casting their ballots in favor of Hoover, admittedly the stronger candidate. But without cultivation there is more than a slight amount of danger that is by 40 popadwens of the 100 minute appeal of the Smith supporters and thus the condition in Texas will remain unchanged. The Hoover supporters in Texas, represented only by these two newspapers, are fighting for the love of the cause and without any visible support from the organization as such. There have been no schedules of speakers made. There has been no organization of any sort provided. And though it has been repeatedly pointed out that there is more than a hint of leaning away from the Republican party, the leaders have not as yet seen the need for the cultivation of the Negro voters. Texas is ready for cultivation. It will yield large results and there is as many votes from dissatisfied Democrats as now are being claimed by the party. Italy is also cultivating the Negro vote will change the political aspect of the state, and without the cooperation of national headquarters, those who see the opportunity most plainly are helped to aid. ering around for firm grounds upon which to base their support and upon which they can persuade others to follow them. Usually it is a cross between an excuse and an apology. The vice versa is our vernary are no whit less embarrassed. To my mind there is but one sharply divisive issue which, so far as the Negro is concerned, resolves itself absolutely and unequivocally in your favor. That is the moral issue of the initiative. This moral issue must most the Negro because he needs it most. A return to the run means ruin to the Negro in especial and to the nation in general. Your policy is to deal with this question constructively, while your adversary approaches it to destructively. Of the eight is the amendment, you say, "I will give the西北. I will destroy." I trust that you will relieve your committee from the embargo on the discussion of prohibition during the campaign. Even if political exigencies make it inepedient to open up the discussion in states like New York where Republican as a yet in the public information that it is not the principal theme in the Negro group and especially among Negro women. Herein consists the one clear, clarion appeal that will stir them to enthusiasm and action. You will, of course, bear in mind that after both parties have eliminated the current and future issues and the problem, there is nothing but prohibition left in the platform which moves or motivates the Negro voter. So far as farm relief, flood control, ownership of water power, honesty and efficiency of government in tariffs schedules and foreign relations are concerned, the Negro is perfectly likely to be a right to be a whole choice between you and the "happy warrior," and feel sure that the country is safe whichever wins. Whatever little weight I may have, Mr. Secretary, I am going to throw my weight on account of the issue of prohibi- tion, with deep regret that my en- gagement can cause me to be cylindrical, would like to throw my hat over the moon with hosanna for Hoover. But conditions make this a difficult task. You must be for- er you or for Governor Smith without a split mind. And yet I be- prepared to accomplish an unprecedented majority.

"WHERE LEW AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER EXPOSURE LOOMS IN SEGREGATION FIGHT ON COAST Los Angeles, Cal.-(ANP). That a number of prominent colored people, both of Los Angeles and Imperial, have been personally interested in attempting to bring about segregated schools in Blythe, California, and that the American Legion Corps of Blythe is financed by bootleggers and is helping to foster this movement, are just two of the things which are threatened in a startling exposure by brave citizens determined to settle the school question once and forre the far as Palo Veo is concerned. The inside story of the matter is being disclosed by letters written from Imperial Valley by both white and black citizens. The controversy began some weeks ago when at what was said to be at the suggestion of certain Neocrewes in Jitter-crow school was established in Blythe, Marry Overstreet Jackson was sent for to teach, but the intention of loyal citizens there to prevent her even if necessary to use violence, was not needed, as she left voluntarily when learning of the situation. leges.

BISHOP VICTOR OVER PELICAN CITY GRIDDERS Marshall, Ted. - The Bishop Bears get off to a running start in the current gridiron season by entirely restoring the much touched New Orleans University squad by a score of 47-20. Bingham made the first Bear Hearst formation, when he intercepted a former score of the Louisiana grid aggregation and raced out and raced unmolested to none. After that it was a regular "big parade," with Joe Wilson, powerful and speedy Bear fullback, smashing a total of 24 markers. Watson, Houston product, made some beautiful Tiger pints and was the most broken field runner of the game. Much praise should be accorded to the line which held admirably and the other which gave more through it and those yards. "Big Retik, Big Retik, Big Retik," Wilson made through it and three yards.

ALABAMA STATE TO BATTLE LANGSTON THURSDAY, OCT. 25 Montgomery, Ala.—(ANP) With their feature interaction tilt all three weeks away, the athletic man, who has been a member of the School has begun to receive mail inquiries respecting this Langham Ala. Academy Cranpton Bowl on Thursday before the Wilberforce Tauksee tilt on Saturday, October 27. A considerable number of both games. Line Coach G. P. Lewis of Alhama State is a recent opponent and has a host of Ohio supporters who want to see in action another of those strong forward walls which Montgomery is producing here at "Bama State." THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1928 Atlanta, Ga.-Athens, University, in a bactic contest, defeated Alabama State last Saturday by a score of 7.6, before a very large crowd. At the game, the team was off, permitting Alabama to receive the ball, and by a tautificative drive netting three first downs resulting in a touchdown, Wiggins kicked goal. The rest of the first quarter and most of the second quarter was a punting attempt by the team, and Moore of Alabama. At first the honors were about even, but towards the end Moore was not good for more than twenty to thirty yards, while McPherson averaged between fifty and sixty. Toward the end of the second quarter, Pierce, all-American, scored a touchdown to leave the game and belt Alabama to a standdill. The third quarter was in Alabama's territory. Boyd of Alabama intercepted a pass by Wiggins but did not gain. Wiggins made another pass and scored a touchdown, the ball was raced the ball ten yards more. Alabama spent herself in trying to make a dart on Atlanta's ball, but the wall The fourth quarter was full of thrills, Alabama, growing desperate, with the ball going through succession, only one of which was successful, and that for 35 yards, from the ball, the Stanley of Louisville ran a 10-yard run. The Alabama line for twelve yards, followed by McPherson and Red Jones who ripened ten yards. Alabama in turn ripped it back, raced with it for a touchdown, but Alabama failed to secure the extra Though a quickly arranged affair played on a rather odd day for Paul Quinn, the iron contest between the Paul Quinn and the Boat and Hound Junior College Basketball last Thursday afternoon, was a stubborn contest and well played contest. Having previously defended the fast Texas College Stairs of Tyler, 1986, Paul Quinn and with the rangers rather chastily and apparently over-confident, and their team scored the score was attributed to the lack of team play by the local gridirons coach. Coach C. Sells has the making of team play in the black Cats, if the spirit of teamwork and cooperation, rather than granting and drilled into the craniums of his charges, particularly his backfield YATES LIONS CLAW CALVERT HUSKIES, WINNING EASILY In their initial game of the season the Yates Lions had a run away with their opponents from Calvert. High school players in the Lions in practically every position, and at the outset seemed quite formidable. In the first few minutes of play, the Lions made a thirty-yard half-check to the wing making them appear dangerous for the time being. But the play was made worse when the time-saving the next move of the enemy at nearly every stage of play. The Yates team proved itself to be a formidable team. (Continued From Page One) The vast audience rose enamuse and gave him a mighty ovation. "Go-Go-Go! Livingston was the main defense, breaking through the Langton primary line of defense continually and incessantly and abruptly and unceremoniously stopping the powerful Tiger line plunges behind the line of scrimmage. Young also played a great game at end for the Texans, while Griffin, another Houston pro, himself with glory as subtitle end. Signals By Langston End No individual praise can hardly be accorded the Langton backfield, for the four Sonsen performed in the same sensational and consistent, manner, giving the crowd many thrills and laughter. The players entered into the ranks of the Wylers support team. The Tiger line was as strong as usual, but Coach Long outmatched the Oklahomaans by his "big parade" of Wildat reserve, who literally ran the game. A novel feature of the game was the calling of signals by Johnson, hunky Langton end, who handled the cool and well-trained field coach. The crowd was the largest in the history of those interpersonal games, from Marshall carrying Wiley faculty, students, and sympathizers represented, including Waco, Fort Worth, Houston, Wichita Falls, Texas, and many other points. A large delegation was on hand from the Sooner State, H. J. Mason, Wiley's executive secretary and the general-improvement specialist, wouldn't quit "after the game, for the results, both on the gridiron and at the box office, possessed some kind of experience that Mr. Mason conceived the idea of that Mr. Mason conceived the idea of matching these two schools for a gridiron game.

Name: Address: Postal Code: PANTHERS BEGIN SEASON AGAINST OIL CITY ELEVEN Prairie View, Texas.—The Seammont Model 20, being the first game of a hard schedule for Conch Jimmie Law's proteges. Prairie View hopes for a winning backfield combination centered around Capt. Mark, who has been rated as a first-class ball carrier and passer ever since he took up college football, and he is expected to be at his best in this, the final season of his career. Marion Bates, all-American guard, continues to show lots of drive and power. The giant INeman seems well on the way to the best season of his career. His interference running has been especially noteworthy. From tackle to tackle the Panthers have a line that will give a good account of itself in money company. It can safely be said that the Panthers are a stronger aggregation this year than they were a year ago. Coaches Law, McMorris, Brown and Arnold have been working the Panther squad hard since the start of practice and every man trying for a berth on the team is due to see service October 20. Although no starting line-up has been announced by Coach Law, it is thought that Staten and Ellison will be at ends; Banks and Singleton at backfield, M. and Mosely at guard with Prince at center. The probable starting backfield: Mark, Lewis, Turner and White, or Mason. 1928 Football Schedule S. Saturday, Oct. 20, Beaufort Y. M.

When the smoke of battle cleared away, they were found standing even, 7-7. Coach Harvey first sent in his shock troops, but it was soon seen that they were not strong enough to stop the drives of the big army backs. The first string men went in after about 3 minutes of play, and stopped the onslaught. Twice in the first quarter the soldiers came near scoring, but each time they killed. Soon after Mosley of Morehouse made air catch of a short punt, the maroon team started. A pass, line plunges by James, and the quarterback carried the ball from the 37-yard line over for a touchdown. Mosley kicked the extra point. The half ended 7-0, Morehouse. The army boys started during the last part of the third quarter to drive, and before they released the ball, they drove it from their 17-yard line down the field, over for a touchdown. They added the extra point from placement. In the last seconds of play, Edmonds dashed 42 yards, carrying ball in the 26-yard place where Morehouse may be desperate effort to score, carrying the ball to the 2-yard line to loose it on downs. The game was hard and clean. ing and to find out if Prairie View was still planning to go forward in its expansion program. "We are not going to change the girls and girls of this state," said Rav Favot, "and we are also thinking of the service Prairie View can render, "because we matter matters the education of the state in general and advocated thoroughness and efficiency in education as well as in common school. TUSKEGEE WINS EASY VICTORY FROM FLORIDA TUSKEGEE WINS EASY VICTORY FROM FLORIDA Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—For the first time this season the Tuskegee Tigers struck their stride of former years and defeated the Florida A. and M. College eleven, 46-8, in the Alumni Bowl Saturday afternoon. The�-feat administered the Florida boys broke the tie jinx which has followed the Crimson eleven in the two previous games of the season—the first with Knoxville, played in the bowl, and the second with the Bulldogs of the A. and T. College, which drew 7,000 spectators to the stadiums in Greensboro on October 6. A twenty-yard off-tackle run by Stevenson early in the game started the scoring. A placement kick from his toe added the extra-reverend a few minutes later from Harrison a few minutes later from the second toழdown. Shanklin, diminutive half-back, furnished the thriller of the game, when he broke through the Florida defense and carried the ball 60 yards for a touchdown. In the closing minutes of the game Champion, Tess-kegee center, blocked a sent and fell on it behind the goal line for a touchdown. The final score came as a result of a pass, Stevenson to Harrison, who carried it over the line. Only once did the visitors thunder to secrecy and was in the thunderstorms on the field. A fumble on Florida's free yard line caused the ball to be called back for running out of bounds on the 45-yard line. A fumble on F. A. Bryd, former brilliant grillant of F. A. Bryd, formed brilliant grillant and his son, though light, showed the careful training and a skill in passing and receiving of the Tallahassee team was good and several players were in perfect completion. The painting was encumbered collectively by the fullness, fullness, fullness, played the end of time, was the battering ram for the visitors and did brilliant work. BULLDOGS FAILED TO DEVOUR ELEVEN OF LA N E COLLEGE Jackson, Trem.-Pike *u* University and L学院 hosted a 0.9 verdict here last Saturday. The outcrop was Yore, Thornell, and Lewis; You were, Thornell, and Lewis; and Lawrie, Triplett, Brett, and McKenzie. The game was featured by brilliant passing on both sides, the defense was strong, and the back of Lane. The game was fast, clean, and hand played from beginners to seniors, having defeated Lane last year 26-4, but the Dragon was not ground and three times missed defeat from their record within one minute of the game. You had galloped eighty yards across Lane's goal to be callibrated on account of a Pail back hit. The spectators were on their feet each moment of the game, so finally they were able to watch each of each team. Both teams had insignificant line defense so that forward kicking for distances of fifty and eight yards became the order of the day, and the defense yards. Cox Johnson and Coach Will Fink had a fine opportunity to analyze the strength of their Buildings, and now feel that their Buildings, primed for one of the hardest matches in the season, force at Nashville Saturday, Oct. 20.

SMALLWOOD CAPITOL 2746 race issue into the present political controversy, whether on one side or both, and whether both religious and economic grounds, in an interview given to the press by Dr. C. B. Wilmer of Sewanee, Tennessee, professor of practical law at the University of the South. "The only result of such a course," said Dr. Wilmer, "will be to inject into an already difficult situation elements of discord that will react unfavorably to the current political life. The leadership of the South, clerical and otherwise, is missing a great degree and discontinuance such appeals to race prejudice and fear, which every intelligent person must understand in the unworthy of the white man, and unjust to both white and "The white race is in control in the South today, and any attempt to maintain it is a boggy past in tragically out of place. Whichever side resorts to such tactics, the white race is weakening its weakness, and failing to recognize that the voters of the white South, increasingly inexperienced in resisting such attempts to frighten and coerce them when there are grave issues at stake, ought to be aware of the situation. Dr. Wilmer has for years been conspicuous in the movement for better access to the courts, ways ready to champion the cause of interracial justice in Atlanta, Alabama, and New York, among the organizers of the Southern Interracial Commission and is still an acclaimed leader. THE LUDICROUS ATTEMPT TO CREATE A JIM-CROW REPUBLICAN PARTY Memphis Commercial Appeal: The attempt of the political activist and white Republicans to eliminate Bob Church from direction of the Hoover campaign is one of our local political abuses. If Church does not direct the campaign, he is engaged in political natters of more consequence. He is not personally conduct the Hoover campaign in Shelby County it will be conducted by one of his allies-white faction in the August campaign. It is surprising that anyone should question his authority. He won over ill-ly-white faction in the August campaign. He and his faction were recognized by the organization as mated in the temporary organization. He won the contest before the credentialing. No federal appointment is made in Memphis and Shelby County under a federal law that mated in his endurance. Federal federal officers and applauders favor pot, only admit his authority, but seek his favor. His part in the campaign is appointed by appointment on the committee that notified Hoover of his nomination. The controversy smacks of ingratitude. Church is a Republican year in and year in a high rate of his party. It is rank hypocrisy to ask him to Democratic recruits to make way for conversion to Republicanism. He color line an obstacle to complete conversion to Republicanism. He assmessing. He never projects himself into the spotlight of local politics, and he never works at office in Memphis and in the White House in Washington. He consents to the appointment of a titular leader locally, but he would not surrender his power and prestige with the national Republican party to him do so. He demands that Republicanism and the lily-purple Democrats who *s* help Hoover might as well make up their difference in the all-fun Republican organization. The demand that Church and other Negro Republicans make way for disaffection with the Republican party for this trip only is a striking bit of audacrya. It is one of the traditions of the South that the Democratic party is not willing to support a Republican party in the Negro party. A. W. DENT Atlanta, Ga.-At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the college, Mr. Ga. attended a formally accepted the offer of the General Education Board to give to the college $20,000 toward an endowment equal amount within a period of three years. With this acceptance, plans were made to raise more House calls to招募 more House calls. One of the first steps in the campaign will be the organization of the college. Mr. Ga. of the college has secured the services of a particularly able and alert young A. W. Dent, who comes to Morehouse College this year as alumni to participate in the class of 1926. Even before graduation his preference for business and ability in business will be reflected in the Atlanta Life Insurance Company. He remained with the company three years, he taught on the position, tenure, 1927, to launch on an independent business enterprise in Houston, Texas, he had reached the position. In Houston he became vice-president of the Safety Construction Company, and obtained a year's leave of absence to line up the alumni of Morehouse College. He has an enviable link. Although his business career has been short, it has given him the most surprising thing about it is the way in which men of more management respect the opinion of one so young, of such a high degree of ability and ability to head his alumni, Morehouse College has made an excellent start toward a successful campaign. It is not only a tradition of the past, but a fact of the present. The white people only should vote in a Democratic primary in Texas and not in the Republican primary and as he pleases in a general election. To exclude the Negro from the Republican party to make place for the believer in faith and honest support of his natural party affiliation and of the right of franchise. He believes in fair and honest support of the other things. Subterfuge and deception are reprehensible. Church is the head of the Republican party in this county. He ranks higher than J. W. Willier in the town. His influence in the Republican party is more extensive in the South than in the North. Why muddy the water? Why attempt to deceive anybody? If the party will continue to head thetrl, Church will continue to be head of the party in Tennessee.

The huge joke of this campaign is the creditability of Mr. Raskob who has been elected to the Senate, who accepts Democratic money is going to vote for and for work for Al Smith. Almost every negro who is spending Raskob money is aniling to his Republican friends, saying, ‘Don't make me laugh, I've got a cracked head.’ “In the South the Democrats open- ly declare that their party is a white man's party, that they do not care for the Negro's vote, and they will not solicit his vote. In the North the Democrats have surrendered to the Southern influences and Judge Olivany, the head of Tammany Hall, has been quoted, and he has not denied the report, as saying that there are only 23,000 votes in Harlem and they are not worth bothering with. So that, so far as the Negro is concerned, he has been rejected by the head of Tammany Hall in the North and he is despised as ever by the Democrats in the South. "The best illustration I can employ to convey to the public the exact status of the Negro in this campaign must be taken from the Houston Democratic convention. In that convention the Democrats used some chicken wire and screened off a little space in the back of the convention hall. They designated this space for Negroes. The space actually held about fifty persons. All of the rest of the convention hall was for whites. Booker T. Washington once said, 'The man who builds a fence about his house fences out a great deal more than he fences in.' The Democrats fenced in fifty Negroes at Houston but they fenced out two million." DEM CANDIDATE AGREES TO PERMIT AFRICAN GOLE Chicago, ill.—(ANP)—Speaking before a group of local Negro Democrats, the Democratic candidate for state attorney, declared that if elected, he intends to drive the city to a district, together with other forms of racketeering to operate on a 1,000 per cent profit. “But I don't believe in the interference with a friendly game of cramping,” called African gold,” he said. NEGRO HISTORY BUSINESS PAPER PARLEY TO HEAR OPPOSES SOUTH'S SOCIAL LEADERS POLITICAL 'DOPE' St. Louis, Mo.-The first meeting of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History beginning here Sunday, Oct. 21, will be the women's Negro history mass meeting to be addressed by two of the most prominent women of the country. This is an effort of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs to co-operate with the association in promoting the study of Negro history. The meeting will be addressed by Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart, Evansville, Indiana, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs; and by Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook, the chairlady of the committee of that body for promoting the study of Negro history through the club and other agencies. These speakers are of national renown. Mrs. Stewart is the head of the most efficient colored women's organization for social uplift in this country. She is a trustee of the board of the Frederick Douglass Home, a prominent teacher of Indian education, and a member of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority. Mrs. Cook, one of her coworkers in many of these things, is well known for her unusual interest in all matters effecting the progress of the race. She is a teacher of wide experience, and a speaker of the most important group of Colored Women's Club of St. Louis will be the sponsors of this mass meeting. The women of the country are highly interested in one important feature of the study of Negro Life, the preparation for the Study of Negro Life. They further the preparation of courses and textbooks added to the stimulation of worth and civilization of all groups, that the youth of both races may grow liberal-minded and more biased than the result of propaganda. They link such juvenile literature as supplementary readers, music books, and then link them with popularize the story of the Negro and then get into the curricula of the study of Negro Life. They give the Negro a larger appreciation of his own possibilities and to give him a more favorable opinion of the race.

Baltimore, Md.-Political leaders in the South, irrespective of party, are admired to refrain from criticizing the manufacturer in an editorial appearing in the Manufacturer's Report, published in this city by Col. B. H. McCormick. The manufacturer agrees with the Richmond News Leader that that the *NEGro* is not an issue in this campaign, and expresses the view that the *NEGro* will emphasize this fact in the interest of the general welfare. The following quotations from the editorial address will emphasize this fact: "Deprecation by the Richmond News-Leader, an ardent supporter of Governor Smith, of the "NEGro" niece" in the South as a campaign figure; "The true friends of the South will hope other Southern editors will empathize with their affiliations. The Negro is not an issue in this campaign," says the News-Leader, and in that pronouncement. "Left to themselves, the white people, we will do well together to an unity and mutual benefit economically. This is a fact of our society, and the partial parties must grasp, and they rerain hereafter from promoting the white people in the heat of a political campaign of a few weeks duration they must have to deal with all that individuals and o o g o g brought about in the creation of a spirit of harmony between the races."

(© 1939, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for October 21 CHRISTIAN STEWARDHIP LESSON TITL—H-Cor. 8:4, 9:4, GOLDEN TEXT—First gave their PRIMARY TOPIC—Golden Giving JUNIOR TOPIC—Gilded Giving, JUNIOR TOPIC—What is God’s Giving? What is God’s Giving on Us? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS Topics of Christian Stewardship. 1. Examples of True Christian Behaviour (I Cor. 8:3, 11). The literature of the Macedonian church practically every grand principle and motive which enter into the giving which has God’s 1. The source of true giving (v. 1). This is said to be the grace of God by which is meant that the disposition of the church is positioned by the Holy Spirit. This puts the Christian giving on a much higher plane than that which bodage of the law to give a tenth. 2. They give from the depths of their poverty, not from the abundance The limited means did not cause them to resist their gifts, but their "riches of their liberality." On the basis of this philosophy our poverty ought to be a call for greater generosity. We give liberality. He will give liberality in return. 3. Their willingness suppressed their ambition (v. 3). God's gifts are reckoned by the degree of wilfulness, not by the degree of generosity. If such grace were to come upon the churches today, there would be an abundance of funds to carry on their work. They were insistent on being allowed the privilege of giving (v. 4). They did not need to be pressured by the church to partram the apostolic method. Today we employ the shrewdest men in financial affairs that can be found to support the churches and the dedication of our churches. We first gave themselves to the Lord (v. 5). This is most fundamental to right giving, for when one gives himself to the Lord, he holds his gift. If one does not give himself to the Lord there will be the desire to retain as much for self as can be done within the bounds of reverence. The Lord gives the desire of raising money for the Lord is first to induce men and women to give their lives to the Lord and then to give them to the Lord. I. Emulation of Macedonian Behaviour Urged (I. Cor. 8:0:55). Moved by the generosity of the Macedonian people, I. Urged that to commend to the Corinthians the same grace. This grace he urged upon them, giving. It must be communicated (v. S). It must be communicated: liberal. 3. As the completion and harmonies of Christian charm (v. 7), the use of spiritual gifts such as faith, attention, knowledge, diligence, and in love for their adherents. But the harmonies of spiritual gifts are the harmony of their lives. 4. The use of writing examples of Christ (v. 10). Is it sacrifice in the test of love. 5. Because the prime principles upon which gifts are accepted with God do not estimate the value of a gift on the ground of its intrinsic worth, but the underlying motive of the gift, the law governing it (v. 13-15). Every Christian should give something. The law governing it. **11. Encourage to Give** (H I C. 9; 5.7). The volume of reaping is based upon the sowing (v. 6). Those who sow sparingly cannot expect to reap beautifully. be a heart purpose (v. 7). This calls for intelligence as to the object of giving. be of necessity (v. 7). No particular value accurses to the giver who gives through pressure. **13. God loves a faithful gift.** God loves a faithful gift in understanding of his responsibility toward God with reference to temporal presence will regard living as a glorified life. There is nothing that America needs any more than the realization that she has God to reckon with.—A. W. Toser.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—BOOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1928 KELLY MILLER WRITES NOMINEE HOOVER Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D.C., whose memorable open letter to the late President Woodrow Wilson, "The Disgrace of Democracy," started the American nation during the World War, has recently written an open letter to Hom. Herbert Hoover, Republican of the United States, and its new titular head for the many sins of commission and omission, particularly as they relate to the colored constituents of the "grand old party." The letter, in its entirety, appears elsewhere in this issue of The Informer, and we urge a careful reading of the frank and candid discussion of the present political situation, as seen from the keen analytical view of this eminent race scholar, teacher, writer, publicist and author. Particularly, Mr. Miller finally concludes his letter with the declaration that, while he will vote for Mr. Hoover for president of the republic, he will do so because of the nominee's stand for the enforcement of the eighth amendment; but that even his (Mr. Miller's) support will be void of any enthusiasm and minus the hosannas which usually form an integral part of such political campaigns. The American Negro is literally between Scylla and Charybdis, with the political chants and musings of the partisan risers to draw the racial barque upon dangerous and destructive shoals. With all its faults, shortcomings and imperfections, both the country in general and the Negro in particular will fare better under a Republican national administration than under a Democratic one; and Negroes—those who are backing, pulling and whoooping it up for President—will do well to bear in mind that even Mr. Smith can not escape the influence of the traditional party, the Democratic party, a Dixie, towards the colored Americans. The Dixie Democrats, who are supporting the Tammany Hall protege, are trying to prejudice white Southerners against Mr. Hoover by referring to him as a "nigger-lover;" and yet no man is fit for president of the United States who does not love all of them without regard to color, crief or chained to the dearth of their black families, and the father of the large family, and it is a poor father who will love some of his children and hate the others, despite their human frailties and weaknesses. These Democratic demagogues are pedding a deal of bosh and bumble about Mr. Hoover's election meaning "Negro domination" and "social equality," and the record of the Republican party for the last six or seven decades and its apparent favorable attitude towards the Negro are being recounted to show that America is doomed with a Republican president in the White House. This is the most rotten species of "bull-sheviki," for since 1860 only two Democrats have been elected president of the United States, and under all the Republican administrations, the Harding and Coolidge regimes not excepted, "white supremacy" has not been threatened by the "black menace"; and, with the exception of sporadic interracial outreaks and domestic disturbances in certain centers of the country, the white and colored races maintained fairly amicable relations, even in the "solid South." Our Dixie Democrats are very inconsistent, for while they oppose the Negro because of his traditional allegiance to the Republican party, these same Democrats oppose every effort in the present presidential race we find our Democratic colleagues openly bidding for the White House, and we conduct a quiet, gun-shoe campaign for the race's support for the Smith-Robinson ticket even in some of the Southern states. The Negro is not an "issue" or "the issue" in the present campaign, and those who attempt to project this racial question to the fore are merely raising a smoke-screen behind which to hide the realities of the race to nullify and destroy the federal constitution and its amendments. Being thus constituted and disposed, it should not be surprising to behold these Dixie nullificationists lining up with and behind the arch-champion of constitutional nullification, whose entire political career has been largely dominated by the most relentless foe of honesty, sobriety, moral and civic progress—the liquor industry. This ground, if on no other, the Negro can afford to support and vote for Mr. Hoover, because he is the political antisite of the sachem of Tammy Hall and the pliable tool of the rum interests—"Alcohol Eternally" Smith, the presidential nominee of the jacck party. Read Prof. Miller's interesting and illuminating letter to Mr. Hoover, which discusses the history and record of the two parties (for no man, not even the president, can rise above his party per se), and your only alternative will be to vote for the Hoover Curtis electoral electors on Tuesday, November 6, 1928. OVERLOOKING FERTILE TERRITORY There is an old adage which runs, "Politics makes bedfuls," but, judging from the trend of the present presidential campaign, particularly in Texas, it appears as if politics makes some politicians stage some strange stunts. For the past several weeks, both the Dallas Express and The Informer have been urging Republican party leaders of the na- tion and Texas to organize the 100,000 or more qualified Negro elections in this state, who, under normal circumstances, usually vote for the Republican presidential electors. However, strange things are happening politically this year in all sections of the republic, and "bolters" and "detectionists" are being used to vote for the Republican presidential election. According to the straw vote poll now being conducted nationally by the Literary Digest, the pre-election balloting shows that the Hoover-Curtis趾 is rather strong in Texas; and, if the forces supporting the Republican nominees were thoroughly organized and functioning in all sections of the state and among all groups and blocs favorable to their national standard-bearers, the Republican nominees would be in a much more radical change at the general election on Tuesday, November 6, 1998. Thus far little, if any, organization work has been done among the Republicans of Texas, and the party leaders, both of the state and nation, seem to be under the impression that no campaign or organization is needed to poll a record-breaking, record-making vote for the Republican presidential and vice-presidential candidate. Apparently, the Republican leaders in the state are not anxious for such activity and organization, while the national party leaders do not seem to regard Texas even as a debatable state—not to the extent that the game is worth the ammunition; and thus they are firing all their shots in other sections of the country, while thousands of voters, who could even be lined up for the election, are not running to wild in the political forests—probably into the Smith fold. If the Smith-Robinson ticket should carry Texas by a bare 75-00 or 80,000 majority; and, if the carrying of Texans should insure the election of the Democratic presidential ticket, the Informer would be a Republican leaders of the state and feel as a result their political hindight playing second fiddle to their foresight! The Informer does not pose as a prophet politic or seer, but this paper—being conversant with the Hoover sentiment in this state and knowing the Democratic strength in previous presidential campaigns and elections—ventures the assertion that the Republican leaders of the state are "proud of the Hoover" in "Democratic Texas," if the Republican leaders were amenable to advice from those who are more interested in party growth and growth than in the distribution of federal patronage. As for the Colored Voters' Division, headed by John R. Hawkins of Washington, functions seem to be limited, described as "described and described" to the Republican national committee appears to be national in name rather than in scope and activity. Even its power to operate among the colored electors in the several states seems to be curtailed, if in reality the division ever becomes more apparent. In other sections of the country in criticism of the bungling and do-nothing policy of the colored national party leaders. Believe it or not (and this is our last editorial dissertation on this phase of the presidential campaign), Texas is mighty fertile territory for the Hoover-Curtis cause, and we fear that the good bet in the Texas situation. ANNUAL DRIVE FOR ORGANIZED CHARITY Owing to the various political campaigns, national and local, which will engross the attention of the majority of Houston's citizenry during November and December, the directors of the Community Chest have decided to advance the period for their campaign, and the week of October 29-November 3, has been designated. Already the preliminary gifts委会, composed of white workers, is busy lining up the industrial plants, commercial houses and large individual donors. The quota has been increased to $514,000 this year, about $53,000 more than the 1927 objective; but Houston has never had a failure in realizing the chest's quota, and it is to be hoped that this will be the case of the other white workers. The Informer fears that too many excuses have already been made to make for the howling success of the chest drive, for the workers will be at a distinct disadvantage if they enter the campaign with a preconceived notion that the people, due to politics and other things, are not in a frame of mind to liberally support the campaign. Instead of excuses, work is a mighty fine solvent for almost any situation, and the Community Chest drive should "go over the top" as in previous years. As this editorial is being written, no information has been received by The Informer, from a reliable source, as to what the chest leaders intend to do towards or in connection with the campaign among the colored citizens of the city who, during the past year, conducted a special drive among Houston's large colored population. Several purely racial organizations and institutions are largely maintained out of chest funds, viz: Houston Negro Hospital, Colored Youth Association, Christian College, Toughee Village, Association of Old Folshek, Old Shavuah well as also other local agencies which serve the colored group along with other local racial units. However, if the colored division is to make a decent showing, it is necessary that the formerly organized staff function in the preliminary gifts drive. Whether an early or late start, The Informer urges the colored citizens of Houston to go their limit in supporting and giving to the organization, organized charity during the week of October 29-November 3, 1928. WILLIS' HAT NOW IN THE RING! According to a news story appearing in the Dallas Express recently, the fraternal friends and supporters of Hon. W. S. Willis of Dallas, grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, and the first bishop of the next biennial supreme lodge of the order for supreme chancellor, the position now held by Hon. S. W. Green of New Orleans, La. The Informer was the first newspaper in the town to advocate the election of Mr. Willias to the highest elective post within the gift of the Pythian order; not because of the friendship the editor of this paper has for Mr. Willis (and readers will be pleased) but because we saw the urgent need of an able administrator and astute executive to direct the national order into an era of peace and prosperity, with a constructive program. Mr. Willis' administration of Pythias affairs in Texas, where he charged of an order virtually imminent, gave him a millionaire class within ten years, is one of the brightest pages in the economic and fraternal history of the American Negro, and stamps the as logical leader of the national organization of the fraternity which is now merely marking time under the present supreme leadership. The Informer is not backing Mr. Willis as a spite or getting her over the edge of the office and the supreme chancellor towards Texas in general and the Informer in particular; but this paper supports Mr. Willis because it believes him the most available and best qualified man to assume the administrative reins of the supreme lodge and carry the order to new heights in the fraternal and economic realm. Mr. Willis is not a politician, but he is a highly good performer and the order will make no mistake by electing him as his tinkler under the 1929 supreme lodge, either at Indianapolis or Chicago. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings · RELIGION AND'RUM By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D.C. Mr. Norman Thomas, the Socialist candidate for the presidency, has said that race, religion and run will constitute the chief issues of the campaign. The genuine advocates of prohibition regret this unlohy alliance. Race intolerance and reliance, bigotry are serious, even to those who are unskilled by a certain race, universally ex-called as a virtue. The propagandists of race hatred and religious bigotry are insidiously stealing the livery in which the v们 are to the will of the man who, of course, will be embodied in the Ku Klux Klan. The basic clause in the crod of this un-American order is that a one hundred per cent. of the population is the two-third percent of all. The Negro American meets the full measure of the second requirement but cannot possibly qualify under the first rule only the salvation before, he can never be the definition since he can never answer to its terms. This wave of hysteria but let itself out. Like all other fom movements, it has its own The Billy Sunday psychoh short-lived.

It will hardly shade beheadings, but it does not affect fundamental principles. When Mr. Hoover wins, his hardest challenge is from the ugly race and religious issues with which it is involved. He has more than Mr. Harding and Mr. Coolidge have had. The cause of temperance in the company it is allowed to bear.

The demon rum must be destroyed. The navalization of the nation depends the navalization of the Negro depends upon it. But it also depends upon the deprivation of the Negro's religious bigotry. The Negroes who persist in supporting Mr. Hoover compels him to renast racial hatred and, at the same time, enlighten him to support prohibition. For after all, notwithstanding the many challenges the "grand old party" in the present campaign in the black man's eyes in prohibition's best hope. Strange transplutions take place in post-World War II history, of the old-day war willed to the undoing of the works of the Republican party, of the commitment to its uter destruction. This constituted its awarded achievement in the war, and thought that the roots of un-Americanism was destroyed root and root, the root of the race hatred which was not wholly extirpated. Just an hour after the Civil War for the express purpose of keeping the Negro in his country, after the World War had precisely the same objective. But in addition to this purpose, the collateral purpose of property subordinating non-Protestants and non-Christians to the braces so as to include the Catholic and the Jew lightened the pressure upon the Negro. As the Negro was not the subject of the refusal order was not necessary to handle the Negro. As the South to North religious bigotry has received the chief stress of emphasis in the war, the concern concerning the brother in black. But nevertheless, the basic principle re-emphasized in the war is held in deepest despair.

The klan is anti-Negro, and the Negro who allows himself to ignore the Constitution allows himself to ignore the Solomon or any other wise man would call a fool. As the movement for political allegiance has turned from the Democratic to the Republican, the Solomon over bibury in Madison Square Garden four years ago drove the klan to the city where he whence it sought hospitality in the party of its former enemies and denied it if not welcome. John W. Davis and Robert L. Labell-Foley, candidates of the Democratic party, both denounced the order by name in scathing President and Candidate Coolidge served the silence of the skull.

THE MIRROR (Continued From Page One) The Republican party becomes the acquiescent, beneficiary of the evil machinations of the most insidious order that has ever been permitted to raise its head in America. The condition naturally arises, "What will Mr. Howell do he succeed to the presidency" with an injustice to handicap of accepted assistance? Can he meet the just demands of the Negro and satisfy the Ku Klux Klan at the same time? Their claims are antithetic. Cander compels frank ad- of the Secretary Work who can work his blames when horse and lily white stands in the Prof. John R. Hawkins and Senator Simmons, who, by waiving the red shirt of white supremacy, drove the Negro Republican out of North Carolina, are now both pulling for the same time, though Senator Simmons has not nor Mr. Hawkins a change of repentance. Surely politics makes strange to be half-lows! Can this fellowship survive the election? We must rely upon the political genius of Mr. Hoover to harmonize the inhumorous. If the Negro's Republican can stand the strain of this campaign, it will certainly endure foreseen. As things now look, Mr. Hoover will be more phantactically as a majority whose margins will be beyond capacity of the Negro vote to affect. Bigotry is hard to You may as well go reason with the golf why he has made the ewe bleat for the stand as to try to argue with race hatches and religious bigotry.
