"The movement, which now has so much momentum, started, as did the Rosenwald Fund, largely as the suggestion of Boker T.

JOHNSON FLAYS RACE PREJUDICE IN BOSTON TALK Boston, Mass.—(ANP)—"The work of the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia has driven the Negro in the North into the Democratic party because the Democratic party has in a measure conquered race prejudice," declared Rev. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University. He was speaking to an audience at Pilgrim Hall, Monday night, under the auspices of the Women's City Club, over which Miss Frances G. Curtis presided. He held up the picture of the Democratic controlled New York City as the world's greatest democracy. In its 1980s and 1990s, every national agency, creed, and foundation of the United States, teaching in New York City numbered hundreds. The speaker added, "Race prejudice has captured our religious thoughts and the power of the American people, we conquer our prejudices, we shall kill that which we call Christianity." "In New York, where there is the nearest real democracy, a highly educated, well-trained, well-known, and well-wonted to the great Y. M. C. A. building and was told at the entrance that the Negro Y. M. C. A. was on 185th Street. Is Christ the same at the white M. C. A. as in the Negro? Is Christ the same as the white M. C. A. as in the Negro? Is Christ the same as the church? Is Christ the same as the church which has led the people to segregate the Christian Negro." "Let me warn you," said Mr. Johnson, "that when you look into the country you are facing the hundreds of millions of Chinese, Japanese, and Indians the world over, who suffer from the prejudice. The church is a great country, and the Church, prejudice, but the church which has led the people to segregate the Christian Negro." "Dr. Johnson, the New York Times," he said. "Dr. Johnson's fearless and manly attitude of tackling the problems of the race prejudice has made it difficult to fact, has greatly endeared him to the hearts of the people of New England. Not since the late Booker T. Washington has a Negro been so well known that the New York Times is the 'Howard University' president."

SEVEN NEGROES SEEK CHICAGO COUNCIL SEATS Chicago.—(ANP)—Seven colored men are now seeking to obtain seats in the city council through the alderman primary election which is to be held on Tuesday, February 26. The seven men are, on the seat of which two are now held by Negroes. The two present aldermen are Louis R. Anderson in the Second Ward, and Robert R. Jackson in the Third. Earl B. Dickerson, James G. Cotter and Augustus L. Williams, all lawyers, are after Anderson's scalp. Nathan S. Taylor, an assistant United States district attorney, is seeking the seat held by "Bob Jackson in the Third. Dr. George Prince is fighting in the Fourth Ward to dethreve Bertold Croson, a young Jew who is lined up with the present administration. Udell Turpin, real estate dealer, a fighting Leonard G. O'sman, another Jew, in the Fifth Ward. It is not believed that Negroes have more than an even chance to get but three of these seats. A Negro will be returned in the Second and Third wards where the vote is preponderantly colored, and Dr. Prince has a good chance in the Fourth Ward, where the black vote is said to constitute about 65 per cent. There are three white men running against the one Negro, but the Thompson Negro wing is lined up behind Croson, the Jew. If this electors can be broken into, Prince will win. Incidentally, three of the Negroes running are from Mississippi; Dickerson, Taylor and Prince. Dickerson and Taylor are giving Anderson and Jackson the first of their lives in the Second and Third wards. No prediction of the result can be made at this time.

P. R. PITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (8, 1322, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 24 CHRISTIAN GROWTH LESSON TEXT- JOHN 11:19-42, Matt 14:16-11:19, John 11:19-42 in the growth and knowledge of our Lord and the knowledge of Growing-To-Growing JUNIOR TOPIC—Growing Like Jesus INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Growing Up To What? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT ADAPT-IC CONDITIONS of Christian Growth. I. Following Jesus (John 1:10). II. As a result of the testimony of John III. As a result of the testimony of IV. The Lord of God (x.26). V. After being freed The proof that he really believed is that be followed Christ. This in the first essential in the Christian life. As soon as Andrew had found and become acquainted with Christ, he brought his brother Peter to Christ. Christian growth can only be truly realized in the giving of oneself to the winning of souls. The one who has received the gospel, the good news, cannot help but proclaim it. 11. Confessing Jesus as the Messiah, the Sop of God (Matt. 16:15-18). The disciples had been with the Lord for several years. They had heard His wonderful words and seen His mighty works. Various opinions were extant about Him. It was now necessary for them to have a definite conception of Him. Examination came after the period of school life. As the Master Teacher, Jesus knew what it meant to the disciples to have a right conception of Himself. He knew the trying ordeal through which they would be called upon to pass as the time of his crucifixion drew near. Only as they perceived His deity would they be strong in the hour of trial. In answer to Jesus' pointed, personal question, Peter confessed to the absolute deity and Messiahship of Jesus. This conception of Christ is essential to salvation (John 20:31). No one lacking it will ever be Interested in the winning of souls. Besides, the denial of His deity is the supreme lie (1 John 2:22). 1. What Peter confessed (v. 16) of the Christ the Son of the living God, the living God His Messiah and delity. This is the burning question of today. Those who have the right conception of Christ, who have the trouble in the realm of science, philosophy or ethics. 2. Christ's communication (v. 17). 3. Christ himself blessed. The evidence that Peter was blessed that he was in spiritual touch with the heavenly Father. His conception was not revealed by flesh and blood. 3. Peter's blessing (v. 18). Christ declared that he should be, become a foundation stone in his church. Christ Himself is the chief person of Christ built. Christ's person and Messiahship were confessed by Peter, and on the basis of his person and mission and prophets (B. 2.20). All believers are living stones of this house (I Peter 2.5). Peter's Restoration (John 21:15-19). Peter grievedlessly in deepening the Lord, but he made confession, and he repented. The Lord tenderly dealt with his striving discipline and restored him. In his restoration Jesus brought to the people the three times asked for his ministry. Love is the preeminent gift for Christian service. To show that he is well at three times asked the question, "Love thou me?" He not only asked the question three times to show the supersede of love, but to show that there are three classes of persons demanding His service, and that these classes need to be well as food adapted to their state. 1. These begin in Jesus' life. "Feed my children," he said in Christ's structure. It applies to the surroundings, influences and examples. 2. The mature one. "Feed my children." This needs to mean "shepherd my sheep." The mature class of believers need correction and discipline. They need correction and discipline. The 3. Aged Christian, "Feed My Sheep," "feed" here is much the same as in the first case. This is a service greatly needed today. In many places the old people are greatly rejected. All provision is made for the old people and they need in service to the old folk. The Humble Person When men are cast down, then those saint say, there is lifting up, and they shall deliver the island of the imposs cent; and it is delivered by the pure man. Living and Giving Abundant life always means overflow. The Christian life that is not overflowing is spiritually sick. It is dwarfed instead of being full grown. It is carnal, not spiritual.

A. A. C.P. to carry the issue before the courts. The exchange of telegrams, which tell the entire story between James Welton and Mayor J. Palmer Bright of Richmond, is as follows: From the N. A. A. C. P. to Richmond's mayor: "We have been informed that the dental segregation ordinance which is now before you for signature, May the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Buchanan vs. Warkey, N. A. S. U. deceded in 1917 by municipal ordinance is unconstitutional. This decision notified ordinance. In 1927 the United States Supreme Court reaffirmed this principle in the case W. Tyler vs. Joe Harmon for the Advancement of Children in the Court decisions, in the interest of economy, that the city of Richmond in directing your attention as an attorney for your refusal to allege, through your refusal to allege, voluntarily to be an unconstitutional ordinance. We also wish to advise you by you, to take such legal action as on me, so that the ordinance be signed by you, to take such legal action as on me, so that the ordinance be signed to what the highest court in the land has said is unconstitutional." To this telegram Mr. Bright sent the following reply to the N. A. A. C. p. "The racial segregation ordinance which the N. A. A. C. ordinance is drawn in the best interests of both race." Those who oppose it have been called "racist." Having the counts pass upon its constitutionality," C. P. upon receipt of this telegram, replied to Mayor Bright as follows: "I know believing your telegram. Fobbing up the facts of oppressions of segregation ordinance to Mayor Bright."

Methodist Church Has More Than $6,000,000 Invested In Various Negro Schools Chicago — (ANP) — That the Methodist Episcopal Church has more than $6,000,000 invested in Negro colleges and schools, was disclosed here Friday when the report of Dr. Kirk, divisional secretary, was read before the annual meeting of the board of education of the church. The report further showed that the enrollment in those schools and colleges had increased six years in the last six years and at the present time there were 2,685 students enrolled, making the board of education responsible for the higher education of more Negro youth than any other agency in the church. CONGRESS RECOGNIZING COLOR LINE; THOMAS AND MILLER FIGHT BRAVELY AGAINST IT The great contribution of the church-supported institutions of learning, according to Dr. Kirk, was due to certain inherent advantages of the church-supported superior quality of education work and their open dedication to Christian philosophy and way of life, making the exemplar of the complex education, education of representing an education unhappened in its prehistory in the realms of nature, spirituality and of mind and spiritual reality. A recent survey of the institutions of the church-supported institutions that the institutions were being improved as physical equipment and in the training of teachers is being stressed, with the idea that one highly trained teacher can render more than two poorly trained teachers. Look With Favor on Merger one of the outstanding features of the annual meeting was the attitude of the board toward the proposed merger of the University of New Orleans and Straight University at New O'Connor, the members of the board looked with fascination at the combination of these two institutions would give Negro in that position a chance for higher education in the South. The board appointed a committee to review the merger of the two institutions. BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For The Associated Press Newspaper) (Congress through the tremendous work of the late Senator Joseph trying to help help the Associated Negro in Washington, and by, example, to fast- fast, tighter on American colored folks. The house passed a very dangerous law that colored people ill it but empowered them to be brought to the attention of Senator Capper, and he opened the way for the appropriations committee of the senate which had still to consider before the appropriations committee of the senate, which had still to consider the appropriations committee of the physically weak Negro school children out in an open high space school to build a new school. The governor proposed a bill for $150,000 to build on this site, the whites who have property in the neighborhood of the Negro school children and they had "restricted" property in that neighborhood that could not be sold to whites. The governor also fore a Negro institution there would make them lose money, because of these restrictions. The house actualized the property and prejudice and inserted in the bill that the Negro school would be for the Negroes to get the $150,000 for the needed school. The present school, which was a school, but they consider "color" and property values and "restrictions" above the interests of these children. Another case: A colored school in the suburb, Reno, was to be enlarged to include whites of the neighborhood objected on the same grounds—and asked that the school be closed because the majority of the people in Reno are white—and in spite of the opposition, the school there have only this one school, the colored children, who cannot attend because they are not white. To go far to some colored school outside of that neighborhood. The long wait for the whites, in f act since anticapitalism actually a sted since Civil War times. The house holds up the appreciation of the protest of whites that this is now a "white" neighborhood and more colored people in Reno now than ever before in its history. This is the Negro and the Negroes now demand that the Negroes get out, and congress prosecute the whites in expelling the blacks. The third case: The whites have a playground in construction. It has no playground and is immediately bounded by three walls, being a right of way from fire, from the building location not only unfit for children in dangerous, dangerous, or large acre for a new business school site for a new business school, but they let the Southeners on the home The committee consists of Bishop B.

The campaign will include two campaigns now on hold: the Wiley College and one for Philander Smith College for $100,000.

They act as students to a place of safety and to put little (primary) blacks in their environment to avoid automobiles and fire emergencies. The fundamental objection in all cases, aside from the dangers to limb and safety, is the color discrimination, and we were glad to hear Assistant Susan H. Thomas to speak bravely making that point to the committee by the chief spokesmen Neval H. Thomas and Kelly Miller of the government employees, being teachers in the district. The white of the cases were with the colored leaders of the cases, but with the Southern leaders, and it was an inspiring sight to see Neval H. Thomas, a teacher in the public schools, looking straight at the color of schools and denouncing in unambiguous language and unassailable raw injustice to little color children.

Richardson, editor of The Houston Informer, is to be congratulated for a paragraph in his weekly column recently, in which he presented figures for his city showing that Negro physicians are not an danger to white doctors. Other other group seem to think. We find that during the month of December ten Negro undertaking firms buried 144 Negroes, and the death of civil servants in 40 instances soiled 271 doctors in 104 instances the dent certificates were signed by white physicians, or 78. We also pave the efficiency of the medical man of the two groups by these figures, the superior. An a matter of fact efficiency known no color line. The two groups practise in each group great knowledge, experience and skill. Nevertheless, it was an excellent job to them to give our people a jolt. For many years in Aframerica the doctor was been cured that they must not be as naughty as men and efficient as their fellows to hear otherwise intelligent. Negro say that they will not seek the service on the ground that these professionals men do not know their business. To who happens to have no known or admitted Negro anesthesia is superior to those some white shysters and then, when almost dead from bad treatment, they steal or dent for relief. Then, if he fails to perform a miracle, he is in league with the undertakers. It cannot be too often stated that Negro physicians and dentists have few in the white group. They take the same courses at college and study in the white group, but those who have studied abroad are much better prepared than any of the blacks. And yet there is still considerable lack of confidence in them on the part of the white group. Being in the situation is better nowadays than in the period before the war, but it is much of good for them to be found. Being in the situation is better, and unethical practice, but is abused to suppose their inefficiency, and unethical practice, from the white group. Therefore, it is a pathetic sight to see swarms of Negro physicians and dentists in Negro communities for frequently inferior block are Negro practitioners superior in technique, knowledge and courtesy, against our own color slowly. NEW ORLEANS WILL HAVE NEGRO BEACH New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—The city's colored population will positively having a bathing beach this summer. That assurance was given a delegation of Negroes inquiring into the matter by Joseph Haspel, president of the Orleans levee board. Wednesday, the Negroes were led by Walt Cohen, was told by Mr. Haspel that until a permanent bathing beach for Negroes is decided upon the levee board would set aside the lakefront at Mineauburg for their use. Owing to the uncertainties in the lakefront development project, it is impossible for the board to set aside the lakefront, adding that the board would make permanent disposition of the matter as soon as possible.

WASTE OF FUNDS PLACED AT DOOR OF UNCLE SAMUEL New York.—The systematic crushing of the spirit of the Haitian p eople, under an administration that has wasted public funds and America canis and underpaid natives, shows gross discrimination and failed to redeem the promises with which the United States occupied the black Republic of the Caribbean, is charged by Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, colored attorney, who served under Colonel William Hayword in the 18th Infantry Captain Maehall, who served as clerk in the American consulate at Port au Prince capital city of Haiti, from September 1928 to January 1930, and in the United States post, presented his charges in an article published in the second issue of the New York World. Similarly January 10. The World followed up with a denuding demanding that the facts be cleared up. In his article Captain Murray marvels at the factual residence in Haiti he observes a change from a clerical, light-sided residence in Haiti to a mood of bitter disappointment and despair. Many Americans in the government has seat down to Haiti to defraud and contempt upon the cultural side of the Haitians. Perhaps the most important is that in education and refinement as manners, as well as in appearance, the Haitians are measurably superior to anything the brand of Americans has exhibited. Capt. Marshall further charges that bridges, built by American engineers, have been repeatedly washed out at great expense to the country. Mr. Marshall says, "The bridge he says, was closed and sealed under government orders." Downstream, "downstream, present time," states Captain Marshall, "Haitian society has ceased to support it." He says, "more or less, have ceased to function out of sympathy with the 'Cercle Bali,' the home of the Haitian society, are one and the same thing of the past. People do not even live in the penal institution raised upon the unhappy nation, declares Captain Marshall, and exhorts all clerks, exorbitant import duties, overpayment of American employees, apologizing to Haitians from employment duties of Haitian funds to foreign employees." According to Captain Marshall as producing an exodus of peasants from the port of Prince, "According to Captain Marshall 37 editors of Haitian publications have been accused of being involved in the port of Prince." He chargest that the resignation of the Colored People in Montana, the national radical activist brought about by his unwillingness to tolerate the methods he found in force for the expulsion of the radicals, demanded by Dr. Millipath, were to be sent to beati, his five brothers destroyed by the police in the department of public affairs and vouchers for millions of dollars expended in the department of public affairs in recognition and the charges made by Captain Marion of the American security and occupation unit, the most brutal, cruelty, treason and illegal warfare, as well as unwarranted interference with the intercession of the officers of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Montana, the national radical activist. Later, when Senator King of Montana proposed to visit the country, he ostensibly ousted by the Borno government. Morehouse Begins Drive In Atlanta; Leaders Selected Atlanta, Ga. — (ANP) Charles W.

It was a great trip to your state, and one which we highly enjoy. I want to take this occasion to businessmen of the businessmen of Houston for all that you did. Dr. Morton is very happy, himself in the next day or so." Now, listen to Dr. Morton, in a letter written to James B. Griggs, his host businessman, for the Men's Luncheon Club, which sponsored the reception and entertainment of the Moton party while here with the men. He heartily for the gracious hospitality extended me and the other members of our party during the two very day visit. When I had long visited to Texas, I had no idea that there would be a Moton party where we were; otherwise my visit, perhaps, would have been earlier. It was most encouraging and inspiring to see the tired life which our people are leading in that great state which has a very strong sense of any sense behind our people in any other section of the country, and in some things, it is apparent that they "Please convey to all those who shared in our entertainment my most heartfelt thanks to you in our behalf, which made our visit not only pleasant, but equally instructive.

Washington High School of Dallas, as the first color press president for the institution for higher education of colored youth located at Marshall, the Dallas Bookel of Education elected an assistant man as Mr. Rhodes successor. This young man is Prof. John W. Rhodes, who has high school where he has served unofficially as assistant principal under the retiring principal executive of the high school State Association and editor of the official organ of the organization, the Dallas Express, and a young man very active in the fraternal, civic, and educational races in the race in his home city and the entire state. The announcement that Mr. Rice has been chosen as successor to Mr. Rhodes was received with much joy throughout the state; for he is truly a great successor, a guilded predecessor, and he (Mr. Rice) is one of the best prepared and schoolmen identified with the Mr. Rice is a real democrat, in its largest sense and more significant interpretation and application; he is cosmopolitan and yet he is cultured, polished and well educated; coming as he does, from a parental lineage distinguished by its educational service. Like Mr. Rhoads as president of Bishop and a resident of his native Marshall, Mr. Rice is a production of Dallas and its public schools, and thoroughly acquainted with the local situation as it relates to the Washington High School and the public educational system of the North Texas city. He is also a product of Tilloton College of Austin, and Atlanta University of Atlanta, Georgia, and as an educator and teacher he has kept abreast of the times, and is eminently prepared to direct and administer the affairs of the Dallas high school. Yes prepared youth must be served, and you are prepared for a task and show the ability to deliver the goods, the people will find it out in some way and your promotion is as sure to come as night to succeed day and vice versa; but, being prepared and thinking you are prepared are quite different things. Congratulations, Frater Rice, and many unbounded success attend your efforts as the titular head of the Washington High School of Dallas. Good luck and God bless you all.

Burr, editor the Houston Sentiment, bellied that he had been a club, Monday, February 18, 1929). "The idea of cooperative business, that is buying and selling, had its origin in England, but it was England or rather the working class, consisting mostly of weavers (for that was the leading occupation of the working class) and many years of toll and suffering decided to make an experiment to bet on own condition. The first step toward own condition was self-sacrifice. They agreed to lay aside from their weekly earnings from the factory and they had $140. They then rented a ground floor room and after getting the necessary fixtures, there was $700." "It was with this capital stock that they embarked upon the sea of commerce December 21, 1884. The agreement was that they should sell only to members of the association. The charge for membership was $5, payable weekly. The purchaser was given, with each purchase, a tag of recognition which entitled him to share in the profits according to his buying power and the amount spent in the business." "One of the peculiar things about this pioneer association, was that those serving as clerks served without pay. Another thing was that they bought the best goods and fixed a living price on them." "The first commodities handled were such as any household might need and no shelf goods were permitted. After they had operated a few months the stock of goods was in the experience of North Carolina Mutual during its thirty years operation of the company, the future of all companies unless certain necessary safeguards are thrown at them. "The turnover in business and agents in Negro companies is one of the most expensive items in the business world," he said. "And can get together, it will be one of the most progressive movements ever made in insurance circles. "And that you will have our heartiest cooperation along all lines. When I first read of Mr. H.

Dr. Stokes read a notable letter from Miles M. Dawson & Sons, New York City, internationally known actuaries who have had life insurance companies as clients in practically all countries of the world as well as a large clientele throughout the United States and Canada, reviewing at length the history of National Benefit and the outstanding characteristics of its founder. At practically the same hour that the award was being presented to Mr. Rutherford in Washington, exercises of similar character were being held by representatives of National Benefit in the various cities of the 26 states where National Benefit is licensed to do business.

Beginning with a capital stock of practice on hand and a practice on hand was worth $100, with a weekly sales of $150. But from this beginning the present business of the cooperative stores had their beginning and cooperative movement of the business of the pioneers. As crude as their efforts were they have left a heritage to the entire civilized world and a system of meaning to envelop the entire world. "And now you assign me to a subject that better I tell you how it can not be solved," she said, diligence, I will have point, out some of the things which keep from selling the things which are who best able to foster each man who is willing to place ourselves upon the altar of sacrifice. There are those who labor in the libb factories and other industries which would in a short while employ most of the boys and girls who are There are those fraternal organizations among us who brag about the amount of cash which they have in the bank. These things are beginning to become "as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal" to the thinking Negroes. What we want is a group of men and women who are willing to place their bits upon the altar of sacrifice and make places for our boys and girls—men who will not be satisfied to hoard large fortunes for themselves and live in luxury and plenty while the race suffers for some leadership of a profitable kind. "Another great hindrance to our group when it comes to cooperative action is the lack of sympathy for the other fellow. The fellow with money must be willing to confer with the fellow who has the money and some of them put this money and brain together and make the conditions so that the two can work for the good of the race. I do not mean, by this that you are to throw your money to the winds. I do not mean that you are to make unscrupulous investments. There are those among us who sit at this table with us now able to make contracts and agreements so binding that there need be no uneasiness. Brains and money properly supervised can and will produce results. The field is ripe but the reapers are few." "I is my hope that this organization is back in England, be the beginning of a new day for our group, we hope that when there will be cooperative action among our group for every activity.

Mr. Rosenwald's past has been so crowded out by the scape of his many friends and family that he realizes that he was once poor and that he belongs to that illustrious galaxy of famous Americans who have worked their way up to fame and riches.

Although the great philanthropist and merchant has given away more than $15,000,000 to the Jollius Rosenwald Fund, the gift he remembers with the greatest personal enjoyment is one that he gave to his mother for her china wedding anniversary. He worked and saved all summer to be able to make gift He was fourteen years old then and was sent to college and went into business. In 1885 he became president of Rosewald and he went on to become president of Rosewald and go. In 1888 Mr. Rosewald bought an interest in Sears, Roseuck, and he filmed it all filmed ever since. Under his leadership, Sears, Roseuck, and Company is approximately one hundred and sixty times the business that it did in 1896. His business interests, magnificent and unbelievable, have never caused him to subordinate his interest in America and business. He is a useful American and to help to be chief chief among those to benefit from Mr. Rosewald's philanthropic award for distinguished achievement in race relations. In accepting the award, he was interested in the Negro people because I am also interested in white people. If I were interested in the Negro people, if we promote better citizenship among Negroes, not only are our entire citizenship in benefitted. It is upon such an idea of service, service, service, that the great Rosenwald school program has grown, and the thousands of celebrations on the I beam with joy and black in the South who have cooperated in this effort to make better Americans.

In reply I wish to say that I have no objection to a conference with you on matters affecting our Baptist constituency of Texas. As this is the first letter that you ever wrote me relative to a peace conference, I am at a loss to understand it. Your letter was given The Houston Informer before you mailed your special delivery to me. There never was a time that I turned a deaf ear to any of your supporters, who talked your terms to me. I am sure that you remember that I was in conference with your supporters at Sherman when you all were awaiting the arrival of the sheriff to serve papers on me and others in the matter of the injunction asked by you and your followers. Of course, you are aware of the fact that I have been very busy of late keeping up with the court matters such as injunctions, lawsuits, etc., though they and your supporters against the court the convention. I had hoped that the decision of the court at Sherman, Dec. 14, 1928, had settled the matter. You have said in another article previous to your open letter that court proceedings must remember the court procedure at Sherman was your choice and you presented your case before an impartial judge; you were represented by four of the most distinguished judges, spent thousands of dollars giving the court, as well as the public, your side to the decision, to abide by the decision of the presiding chairman of our convention nor the judge of the court to whom you are addressed. I am sure that you are aware of the fact that your supporters are appalled by the decision of the presiding chairman to throw the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention into Ft. Worth, she said. Wm. McDonald of Ft. Worth, she said, fought our Baptist leaders for three decades or more; the distinguished minister died fooly of our denomination and the silent financial force that gave impetus to the insurrection at Sherman. I have wondered why you made choice of this man who is your financial and legal sponsor and whom W. L. Dickson proclaims as the man of the hour who has waited long for this day of revenge. I have again wondered why you accepted the lead of the Rev. W. L. Dickson, the well-known leader who brought suitings against your eminent predecessor and the beloved leader, the late Dr. F. Li. Light, for many years pastor of historic Antioch of Houston, the late Dr. A. Barbour of Galveston, M. M. Rodgers of Dallas and a host of others, during the prohibition fight. Brother Harrison, do you believe that I would do one thing to desecrate the sacred memory of these saints with whom I labored in their lifetime? Do you think that the self-sacrificing services of leaders like Dr. L. K. Williams, A. L. Boone and others who are still with us, will be counted unholy and their names dragged in the dust of humiliation and dishonor by those whose aims have ever been to destroy us? God forbid that I should be numbered with that class of men! My dear brother, should you and I meet in conference, bear in mind we would have to be truthful. Both of us (more than any other two men) know the whole truth of the Texas Baptist situation. We both know that we cannot foot each other. For instance, both of us know that there was not 400 delegates at Sherman's convention, in including both your friends and mine. You and I both know that the roll that Brother R. T. Andrews had was a bogus roll. You and I both know that names on that roll of which you still proclaim, contained in names that never were heared in Sherman's. For you know he had the roll. You know that came to Sherman for that convention. You and your friends have brought on every lawsuits. The records speak the truth. We have upon every event know it. In the entanglement and you know, we were the defendant, and now, in the McDonald-Dickson, Coleman's commercial life. I left our hands we must be the defendant. Brother Harrison, I am sure that you have not forgotten at Sherman when Judge Hare rendered the decision that you shook my hand congratulating me upon the fact that I had won. Then what changed to your mind to make you concurs with others in writing for an appeal, why not wait for the decision from the court to appeal? In it that you are determined to make us spend thousands of dollars to help you know, it is natural for us to defend ourselves when dragged into the war. You are silling to let a fair-minded public know facts and see for themselves, for truth will win its way. You will give your own attorney who were defended your way before you can hear the appeal you want a receiver* and with your own attorney you can be called all the confusion at Paris and Sherman. Our proposal for peace conference is sincere why continue to head the Texas Baptists? why not wait and see? It may be that the appellate court of the R. M. and K. Convention. If your peace letter means more than a grindstaff and for-public Haynes Discusses Bastrop Parley; Harrison Praised By REV. M. M. HAYNES Austin, Texas The Foreign Mission executive board held at Bastrop, Texas, February 6, and 7, with the Mt. Rose Baptist Church, M. M. Haynes, pastor, in new history. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the following members of the executive board were present: President E. L. Harrison, Houston; Vice-President U. S. Keeling, Basement; M. M. Haynes, Austin; M. C. Curry, Wichita Falls; A. C. Doans, Marshall; T. E. George, Jr., Austin; W. H. Johnson, Terrell and Treasurer A. W. Pryor, by proxy. The first session of the board was held at high noon, Thursday and following the usual divine services, the board got right down to real work, shaping everything for the annual session which will convene in Dallas, Texas, with the El Bethel Baptist Church, Dr. W. L. Dickson, pastor. A number of visitors took advantage of the day's session and all were happy to learn of the many accomplishments of the Foreign Mission Convention, the past five years, under the leadership of that efficient and consolidated president, Dr. E. L. Harrison. Wednesday night the cold, rainy weather failed to keep back the big crowd that gathered to hear the wholesome information that flowed from the lips of the men chosen to guide the "old ship." At the conclusion of divine service, he attended Johnsons Pastay Hall, and met timely touching the work and the leaders of the community, principal of Hastory High School, one of the frontline workers in the war, and of welcome and the choir, made the welkin ring with their sweet voices, and the speaker, under the guidance of President L. White. Dr. U. S. Keeling responded with his characteristic manner. Dr. T. E. George Jr., the newly elected pastor of Hastory, who brought with him some 30 or 40 of his stalwart members, broke the speaker covered himself with glory. President Harrison spoke to the officers of affairs as they relate to the forces of the B. M. and E. Convention and the $2.15 was on hand on the table. It was, indeed, a high day, not only the highest family of Texas. Thursday, 10 a. m., found the board back on the job for completion of the work laid out and the entire day was given to arrangement of program for the first year. Mr. M. H. the best programs yet mapped out will reach all sections of Texas in plenty of time for the constituents of our Baptist Zion to see that we were in the same place as the first President Harrison's report showed that the sum of $306.70 had been raised and the sum of $100.32 was raised during the two days session, making the first total $407.32 in the report with the charted provisions of the Foreign Mission Convention, the following new faces will be among the old members of the board: Rev. W. White, Rev. A. F. Black, L. L. son, Rev. J. A. Jordan and Mrs. E. Harper (secretary). Dr. E. L. Harrison tended his resignation as president of the Foreign Mission Convention during the first year, according to telling the virtue and accomplishment of the retiring president by other members of the board. By vote a special page will be given in the minutes prepared with the highest of the three years in which Dr. Harrison is held by members of the Foreign Mission Convention of Texas. The resignation of Dr. Harrison was accepted and Vice-Pres. general of the Foreign Mission Convention of Texas. S. J. co-president. Our new president is too well known by the masses of Texas Baptists to attempt any further mention of the case. It is to concern to see if Harrison left off. Dr. Harrison will continue a member of the board and his great influence and wisdom will aid greatly in winning the day for the cause that lies so close to the heart sions. It blessed Lord (foreign mission The following constitute the perzen- charter provision: Harrison, Keeling, Haynes, Jordan, Green, Johnson, Mr. Hayson, Harrison, Johnson, Mr. Curry, White, and Water (13).

Keeling defi- nition the manses "Bastard Beginnings." De Keeling was cheered to the echo throughout his life in the very embrace of wilt, humility and logic. The people gave attentive care to fall from his lip. We doff our hat to Dr. Keeling and say, "Go on." He and his colleagues augmented pulpit orator, delivered the closing sermon, and the profound message of Life," will live and bear fruit, henceforth. As he drove home to the church, he smiles played on the faces of the people like diamonds on the brow of a closing remarks, expressing the joy and happiness of being guests of the saints of Mt. Rose Baptist Church and sentiment, if you are really in earnest and will face the facts of the truth of the Baptist mission in Texas, I will bless you. Accept, dear brother, the renewed assurance of my highest consideration. Sincerely yours, E. ABILINGTON WILSON President, B. M. & E. Convention.

Dickson, pastor, to make the appointment of greeting Thursday before the fourth Sunday, climax the climax. Bird on the roof, don't allow the old flag that Jesus unfurled to the gentle breezes just before he enters into an airplane in which to make his departure from this, to our eternity, marching orders, to trail in the dust. "CIMBEE" VISITS ST.JOHN CHURCH; LIKES SERVICES "CIMBEE" VISITS ST.JOHN CHURCH; LIKES SERVICES (BY CIMBEE) "Well, wife I found the model church, and worshiped there today," she recalled. "Last last Sunday after visiting St. John the Baptist, I found several things which I considered as model. For instance, I thought the singing of the choir; the apparent size of the church; and many more which I could mention of many church organizations. As much as I lated it, I arrived at the church late. It was about 11:30 a.m. and I was sitting in the church and the one nearest McGowen. I was met by an usher, who politely meet that if I went downstairs, I would be able to get a seat closer to the front. In this litle I was sent from the church to give a seat in what is commonly known as the "amen corner." Here I found a very comfortable chair given a seat in what is decided one of the very active member, judging by the number of Sunday school classes in her hands. I found later that the usher must have given me the chair and sat down between me and a friend of this first sister I mentioned, for it was not long before the friend came in and sat down between me and her. My seating space, but a little thing like that didn't worry me, as the last one was very pleasant, a gaze on, and she was very pleasant. When I had been seated and had got my bearings, I found that I had been directed to Mrs. Gertie L. Brooks, was singing. This choir, like a compostion on this occasion of sixteen voices, and was rendering some very appreciative songs from the congregation that were what they usually received, it is not to be wondered at that they were after the singing the assistant pastor arouse and for sentence prayers from the congregation, which is appropriate as being being struck me as being novel and very appropriate, as it gave every one an important role in the missionary or what my church calls the "penny collection" the baskets. Following this choir sang an anthem, which put every 'foot in the audience to moving, beating time along with the rest. When the assistant pastor arose to when the captive lesson, announcing that everybody had been woken up 20th chapter of John, I looked quite "wheepish," and I had "plum" forget to remember the lesson, especially when I saw so many in the congregation opening their Bibles. He met the other Mary, who came early to the septuplet, only to find the body of the man, whom they took to be the garder, man, whom they took to be the garder, accented him, with "Where have you laid the body?" A beautiful lesson was well done. The pastor, Rev. S. A. Pleants, took for his text that portion of the Scriptures which reads "Forsaking not the assembling of yourselves" etc., and another in which John speaking on the Isle of Patmos said, "I was in the spirit on the Lord's day." The subject used was, "Christ In His Church," and if there were any present who had any doubts about the necessity of attending church on the last day of the week, the painfully left this meeting with that doubt entirely removed. It was my first opportunity to hear this excellent speaker, and I sat there and drank in every word, and if at any time I had been tempted to take side with those who believe that the Christians should observe any other than the first day of the week, as the day of worship, I haven't the remotest idea of doing so now." Rev. Pleants isn't a lengthy speaker; mays what he has to say and quits, so by 12:45, the collection plates were being passed by the decons, and at 1 o'clock we were standing for the semestries. Then it was that I noticed that no long and tiresome announcements were made during the preliminary service, but after the benediction, and when all had been reseated, the pastor in a very short sentence or PRESTON AVERS BAPTISTS NEED NEW PRESIDENT PRESTON AVERS BAPTISTS NEED NEW PRESIDENT To the Baptist Missionary and Education Center, we are called the Lord's Work. We are face to face with a great crisis in our conventional work. Never before were we so situated and enforced, hindered in love, fellowship and constructive service as we are now. We have treeners, deacons and Sunday school teachers vided into hostile groups. Suspicion hate and misrepresentation are a serious problem. No true Christian can feel at ease in Zion with an alarming condition. We are becoming the hissing and by-word and a laughing stock to the public at large. No loyal Baptist Christian can look at the public in the face without apologizing or hanging his head in shame. We claim to be the salt of the earth; but it looks like the salt has lost its flavor. We are bankrupt: first our business credit and standing are gone. We owe thousands of dollars and no money to pay the debts. This money is due banks, fraternal organizations, lumber corporations, teachers, orphan home workers, printers or publishers and food supply stores; mostly due to poor business management of some of the leaders who have acted without proper authority or law in giving mortgages or deeds of trust on Houston College property or the Western Star Publishing Company without properly safeguarding the interests of the convention. For years there has been no proper minutes or records kept of the receipts or expenditures of thousands of dollars. Much of the business of the convention, that the members should know, is never properly reported so as to be intelligently acted upon in conventional session. Confidence has been betrayed and faith in leadership has almost been destroyed by this gum-shoe method. This chaotic condition did not come all of a sudden. For the past six or eight years, there has been a subtle, selfish, self-centered leadership, which has shown the seed of hate, spite, envy and jealousy. We are now reaping the harvest of dissension. Texas Baptists have been long-suffering and patient with this kind of condition. Anyone who has studied the condition of the convention for the past years, can see there was a lack of cooperation, coordination of fellowship and goodwill. A convention to useful use of the function in kingdoms building must build around the spirit of Christ, because if we have not His spirit we are none of His. The convention is a collective Christian organization to execute, in a larger way, the program of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. There is a group of our Baptist people who want reforms and changes in the manner and method of doing our denominiational work. Much of the past method of doing this work is an-tequated and out-of-date. Our convention has needed a president who is progressive in his ideas; who possesses fine qualities of leadership and broad enough to treat all the brotherhood and sisterhood with the respect that is due them. The day has passed for selfish, grafting, egotistical leaders. The Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas needs an unselfish leader who can direct them through this wilderness of troubles and poverty to the promised land. A group of Baptists of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas have tried to meet this present-day situation. Every intelligent Baptist recognizes that he has a big taste before it is with his economy and educational and orphan homes and publication work. To carry out the program of this work would require the best thought and the finest spirit of cooperation and the wise economic expenditure of the money. The cause of Jesus Christ and the welfare of humanity at large is supreme above the wants of some selfish men who wish to be president of the convention for a big name. In October, 1927, at the session of the national Convention of Texas, the majority of the Baptist delegates were called to control the minority Baptists who had control of the machine. One of the carinal leaders of the minority priory rule, from church on up and from convention on down. Any member that may be intended or devolved to deflect the congregational or demagogue may be called to the very essence of Baptist principle is to express one's conviction, unhappiness, and disgust. As Parts the minority, under the leadership of a man who was acting as the majority candidate and sent for the majority out and declared the minority candidate president and sent for the majority out and declared the minority candidate out of the church. This action on the part of our brethren, who profess to have the spirit two, made the annoncements, and the St. John on Dowling is a very lovely house of worship, located near the downtown addition to the main auditorium, there is a balcony which runs round the rear of the auditorium, and the chairs. Last Sunday the entire auditorium was filled while in the church, and the church is dredged more. The choir gallery is just behind the restroom, where the choir members may be gathered. The officers of this church organization include some of Houdon's mounts on the church steeple, and membership may be found other men and women of affairs. Among the men, J. P., jasper; J. W., Allen, financial retard; W. S. Coleman, recording act; C. Callin, church librarian; R. Hirsch, president; S. Sundee, chapel E. P. Harper, president B. Y. P. M. Mrs. E. M. Johnson, president home office D. B. Bentley, president man's union. of Christ, has caused much hard feeling and unrest. The majority of the Baptist people of Texas feel that a crooked deal was put over by the miracle of Jesus. From the Paris meeting in 1967, to the Sherman meeting in October, 1988, the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention moved along, above, still, and unhappy way. No constructive wreck has been done during this period. No defiance were paid, no intelligent Christian leader to lead the breach that was made. Rev. E. L. Harrison, who represents Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, has made an honest effort from time to time until and until the crucifixion. At our convention in October, 1928, at Sherman, the minority group, united with Wilson, attempted, by overriding all rules and anguishals of a deblishment by Wilson, attempted by overriding all rules and anguishals of a deblishment by Wilson (Wilson) declared president; not only that, but Rev. E. Arlington Wilson and his advisers went to the police and their advisers brought into court Rev. E. I. Harrison and others for disturbing the convention. He had then arrested and brought into court Rev. E. I. Harrison and others was done because the majority delegates qualified in the church and the convention was opened session of the convention. The Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention is in court. Judge Harew has accused Wilson of the Wilson's faction, but admits that Rev. E. I. Harrison and the majority on appeal in the higher court. In our state we have one State Sunday School Convention, one State E.Y. P. U. Convention and one State Baptist Minister's Conference. The recently declared president, Rev. E. Arlington Wilson and his advisers have tried to split all these state organizations by trying to place new officers over these organizations without right or authority in any way. These conventions and organizations held their annual meetings and ex-elected their programs and elected their officers without greatest or contest. Where did Rev. Wilson get the authority to try to set aside the will of these organizations? The same spirit and motives that led to this arbitrary, unobstetric method is the same spirit that declared him president over a majority by a minority machine. We are appealing to our people to not be swayed by any English sentiment which is contrary to right and duty. Principles are bigger than men. Men's die, principles lose. There are thousands of English people in Texas who will not follow crossed leadership or be bribed by empty promises. REV. W. A. PRESTON, Texarkana, Texas.

TEACHERS EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY POST OFFICE BOX 184 CONCORD, TEXAS THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1929 FEDERAL CHEFS DISCUSS PLANS ANENT HOWARD Washington, D. C—As a result of a definite law enacted by congress authorizing federal aid to Howard University, leading Negro institution of higher education in the United States, Secretary R. O. Weld held a conference in his office at the interim president's office, under plans to carry out provisions of the new statute. One of its terms provides that the university shall be open at all times to an inspection by the Bureau of Education and that such an inspection shall be made at least once a year. The university is also required by the bureau to congress making a full exhibit of its affairs. On account of the fact that Howard University is a institution, the adoption of a definite policy regarding the division of the university and private sources is necessary. While the federal government has been making appropriations of various amounts annually to the institutions and the 1870s the state of the same approach has been uncertain to the fact that they were not actually authorized by a basic law. This also affected to a large extent contributions for the university's support from private sources. The conference discussed plans for stabilizing future operations from the government under the new law with view of assuring a fixed income to the institution. Segregation of federal funds for maintenance and new buildings was also considered. Another important subject under discussion was the promotion of medical education and education and the setting of teacher-for-the-Negro race at the institution. The outcome of the conference was a general agreement concerning the desirability of establishing a plan for a systematic program of support for the university through a considerable period of years. Inspections by the Bureau of Education are to be comprehensively implemented, and the volume of activity of the institution. The reports of the bureaus to congress may contain recommendations for a ten or twenty-year program of federal support and for the development of the various educational services of, forred by the university. A building project is now implemented at the physical plant may also be included in the bureaus' recommendations. The conference was attended by Edward E. Schmidt, President of Edward E. Schmidt, Dr. Arthur Klein, chief of the division of higher education of the Bureau of Education; Dr. Richard A. Cramer, senior science committee on education and labor; Representative Lois C. Cramer, M.D.; Representative William J. Pratt, propositions for the Interior Department of the house committee on apportion- ment; Representative Lois C. Pratt, and William W. Hastings, the house committee on appropriation; Secretary-Treasurer James E. Scott, J. R. Hawkey, Michael O. Bumana, and Robert A. Bumana, the board of the board of trustees of Howard University; President Edwin R. Dun- ford, and R. R. Fox, representing the Bureau of the Budget.

JAY President American Department Stores Corporation Average family income $3,150 Average retail purchase, per person 366 Glycine store sales have been found to be: Department stores 35% Grocery stores 28% Furniture stores 22% Man's clothing 5% Women's wear 3% Candy 3.14% Fabricant 1.45% This leaves 25% of expenditures determined. From these figures it may be easily seen that a comparatively low families will support a small retail store. The average family income is appreciably less than the nation's average, but it is certain that colored people are more enterprise-oriented than they present and still depend largely for support upon members of the race.

FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN When Thomas Moseley, the star of Paul Green's "In Abraham's Bosom," was in Chicago with the company, he and the other members of the cast were frequently entertained by society leaders and lovers of the drama. So many invitations came that Moseley, to whom they were usually directed, reached the point where he could choose, pick and stipulate. He entered one of his stipulations into an agreement to attend a Sunday afternoon tea given by Mrs. William J. Yerby, wife of the United States consul at Rochelle, France. Mrs. Yerby was informed that Mr. Moseley would be her guest if she would promise that she, nor her guests, would talk shop. She promised. Merry, Yerby, who is an admirable hostess, was quite content and eager to grant arrival, but soon discovered if her restraining influence was to be part of the first part, one Thomas the theater and its relation to the Negro is one of the things that suffice him to the theater, a long time. Mr. Moore, for a maid, he got started and could not be stopped. He danced around in the theater a long, long time. Mr. Moore, hoping that my chance would come, Chicago critics were unanimous in particular in a place where passage to his people was necessary to his people. One crite wrote that Mochely's work here was the reason for his stage, on any stage. At Mr. Yerby's tea, Mochely explained how that came You see, there was some doubt at first as to whether I was just the one for this part," he explained. "I was a little short, and a little small. But I determined that I would put all into the part that any big man could. So I did more than learn the lines sought for the mood and the spirit of those queer spirits in the back for what the people to be ideal. I attended the meetings of so-called radicals in New York. I would listen to them on street corners, seeking that elusive something which carried them on against the greatest obstacles. I finally decided that they were all the victims of a sort of fanaticism and that if I were to be a successful Abraham I must make myself over into a fanatic of the cause he espoused. That in what I do. "Each time that I am Abraham, I do not completely from Thomas Mosley. Some members of the group have been to make the use of the reluctance to talk or to chat with them prior to the opening of the show, but often enough they have not understood my own efforts each night to shake myself loose from that being called Thomas Mosley and to become another, the fanatic of an impossible cause. Abraham. Before each show I must have at least a half hour of solitude to properly offer the spiritual and evening metamorphosis. Thus there is no opening to make myself as nearly as I now being—I become as nearly as possible the real thing." Mr. Mosley would have been much interested in a group of plays of Negro life which are being given through the influence of persons at the University of Chicago at the Cube, in Hille theater adjacent to the university grounds. The plays, four in all, were given Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at the week. Mr. Mosley interested in the little theater movement, wherever it gets a foothold. Mr. Mosley has asserted, "and I feel that the men and women who have achieved some success in the theater should lend their influence and their knowledge to help to promote these small groups. Too often they are sponsored by persons who do not know what to do. The actor or actress who do not should be made himself, or he has given a fair propertion to them should like to see the action taken whereby every little theater group in the country could be reached and aided." Mrs. Bertin Lewis has been most active in Chicago in her efforts to act that Negro-talent in Chicago was made available and that the proper plays were used. For the present exhibitions plays by Patti Green, Georgia Donglass Johnson and Eugene O'Neil are being used and the performers are a university of high school students with the exception of two of these three. Mrs. Lewis herself acts in two of the plays. The Cube was opened by students at University of Chicago. Other citizens came to their assistance, so that the movement is probably on its knees now. The students will serve to remind others of the possibility of putting the Negroes in the spotlight, who will be together colored and wake who are intertwined in the story as a playhouse, the Cube is a sort of focal point in the story as a playhouse in Chicago, Scott Dawson Barth and other are represented. The explanation that the performance revealed an "exceptional quality of acting" by the Cube, the film of the Palkin, the farmer of "In Abraham's Boon," they were "reminiscent of the African experience," they cello, now with "Congolese" thought they gave "a highly estimable performance," they were "worthy and interesting."

THEATERS AND PERFORMERS BIG AND LITTLE SOUTHERN PAPER WAGES FIGHT FOR COLORED SCHOOL Greensboro, N. C.—(ANP)—In an editorial published in the Greensboro Record, a fine spirit of fair play and justice is manifested. The article gives, further evidence of the favorable impression that the administration of the Negro Agricultural and Technical College has imprinted upon citizens of the city of Greensboro and the state of North Carolina. Listen to the editor of the Greenboro Daily Record: “A Duty To Perform” “A. and T. College, which is located in Greensboro, stands as practically alone in the state in the work which it is doing for those of the Negro race. And yet this institution, which is recognized as one well worthy of the praise of citizens, is battling for its very existence before the appropriations committee of the general assembly. It is a serious situation because North Carolina is pledged to provide educational opportunities for its citizens of both colors and there is no reason for neglecting A. and T. College. "We realize, of course, that the appropriations committee is confronted with no matter what its final disposition of them there will be, and no matter what the final disposition of them there will be, we would not attempt to dictate to this committee that should be done because we have not the power to act on which was last been held before it for the past two years, and colleges for which provision must be made. At the same time, we correspond with the appropriation will be given a consideration and the appropriation will may continue uninterrupted. The legislature of North Carolina, a great civic responsibility, up to it for the educational needs of Negro citizens of the state and the Negroes are powerless to prevent any discrimination against them. The Negroes are fair deal. We should not forget the plan of the great Ayn Rand organization of the state forved for the education of the state whether they be white or black North Carolina generally, we be black. We should not forbid the colored cities in our midst and we certainly hope that the legislature will not be recurrent to their CHICAGO HONORS ABBIE MITCHELL AS GREAT SINGER Chicago.—(ANP)—Prolonged applause, accompanied by the stomping of feet and the shrill skies of enraptured listeners, was the unusual tribute paid here Sunday afternoon to Abbie Mitchell, soprano, who appeared in recital at Kimball Hall. It mark the first time she had sung in recital in Chicago. No more ritually favored, and perhaps audience has ever praised a man who has been into ecstasy on "Miss Mitchell repeated thrill chant with a melancholy tone nearly overcame by the perfect harmony." Miss Mitchell sang a song of German numbers from Bathsheba, Sam, and the Bible, and a song of Peter Eckhart's songs of Dupee, Chansean and Althea, the songs of the Ancient Egyptians. The group of English numbers, composed by William Martin, John Ackerman, John Koehler, John Ackerman, and Will Martin Cook, of which the music was velocity done, and spiritually enlivened by Willingham and Baworth, wrote "Orchids of Colour covered women untainted in faintness in the light of Mitchell Hill, music editor of the Calcutta Caro, decribed that the singer of the time: Narleton Hackett, criss of the Chicago Dale Brothers, and great guitarist Jeffrey Stern, gave great guitar solos and an excellent quality that was even better. An unusual range, centrally warm and rich, was a signature feature of the lance up show. The Singer song was a great blend of guitar technique and intertwined "work." Herman DoVries, of the Chicago Evening American wrote: "Abbie Mitchell, a soprano of unusual talents. Madame Mitchell, an unique personality, understands the lyricalness well as the dramatic values of song literature, interprets with temperament, feeling and intelligence. Has a朔方韵 in the upper reaches that many has a prima donna might enjoy." This last statement is significant in view of Miss Mitchell's expressed ambition to sing in深圳. Maurice Rosenfeld, the Chicago Daily News critic, wrote that "she disclosed a clear, high soprano of power and noted textual and also a comprehension of dramatic and emotional delineation." NEGRO IS REFUSED TREATMENT DUE TO FEE BEING UNPAID Shreveport, La.—(ANP)—In a statement to the public radio, Dr. E. L. Sanderson, management of the hospital, said that a change made in a relict field by Dr. Willis P. Bottler, philanthropist that improved Negro hospitality at the hospital, Dr. Bottler intimated that the Negro's death was due to hospitalization by the carver, he reported, that a wounded Negro visited the hospital only one of which apparently was treated, and later, on a return trip, the Negro was not given any awards at his home. Dr. Bottler declared that the hospital treatment was not a relief to the Negro called to a rest. The Houston Informer The Negro politician has been all introduced from the public service in the past, but he once knew him will probably know him now. He is likely early future. It is true that we can say that all we have not bowed down to the Negro politician, who have withstood the acid test of the public service.

SATURDAY, FERRIARY 23, 1929 POSSESSING THE WILL TO WIN So many people never accomplish anything worthwhile and never rise above their peers because they hold eternally to the belief that "it can't be done," and the Holy Writ teaches that as a man thinketh in his heart so he is; and no one can do the extraordinary thing, nor attract the attention and elicit the plaudits and anomnies of his fellows, who follows in the same rut and beaten path just like the "common herd." To accomplish anything, one must first make an effort, and behind that effort must be self-confidence and self-reliance. When others are pessimistic and musing to themselves or saying audibly that the job can be done nor the desired goal attained, if you have the real "stuff" in you, like the Apostle Paul, none of these things can move you; but if you are a weakling, minus backbone, stamina and moral courage, you will become discouraged at the least flurry and fail to accomplish anything worthwhile. When Columbus decided to sail the "seven seas" in an effort to locate another land in the western hemisphere, there were many of his countrymen who considered him a knave and a fool, and predicted that the rugged mariner would go down to an untimely grave. But the queen had confidence in Columbus because of the confidence Columbus had in himself and his ability to negotiate the seas and discover America, and thus today we honor him and his memory for his relentless feast. If we do not have confidence, then we should not expect other people to have any confidence in us; for external confidence is often inspired by internal confidence. After all is said and done, it is not a question of race, blood or kin; but merely the will to win—that indomitable spirit that "knows no Alps" and which considers the word "impossible" as the adjective of the weak and spineless—that distinguishes men and women, and places them heads and shoulders above their environment. As a race, our group needs to learn this lesson, for no man (or race) who is afraid to take a chance; who does not possess the nerve and hardihood to adventure; who does not believe in himself; who wants to wait and see how the other fellow comes out before he is willing to undertake anything; who always goes around looking for and predicting failure for projecta and ventures; who always goes to work and engages in a variety of species of race will never get anywhere nor make much progress either in this world or the world to come. A certain supposed intelligent and successful Negro said to another member of his race, who had made a success of his small business and had enlarged and embarked on a bigger scale: "If you are successful in your new project, I won't mind investing about $1,000 in your business." "OU ARF SHEP" "If" "always expresses doubt or fear, and moreover, if this young race business man is as successful in his enlarged business as he was in his smaller business project, he will not need the capital of this "doubling Thomas" of ebony who is watching and waiting to see "how things are coming out." This is one of our racial faults—our hindsight always being better than our foresight. How often have you heard some old colored settler in a fast growing Southern city tell how he could have bought a house and lived a life of "dance" while today that same piece of property is worth thousands of dollars. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," is a trite aphorism which is as patent as the nose on one's face; and the man or race that never ventures, that never makes an attempt to do the unusual and unexpected, that has no faith nor confidence in his ability to do it. He can do it, he can never make any substantial and material gains, and he or it will go to the final resting place, "unhonored, unwept and unsung." Remember, he can who thinks he can; and, conversely, he can't who thinks he can't! BARTERING PATRONAGE IN TEXAS The United States senate patronage committee, which is investigating or airing federal patronage in several of the Southern states, has made some startling disclosures concerning the barring of federal plums in Texas during the present party leadership in this state. The senatorial investigating committee has discovered that of 350 persons making notes to the party leaders in Texas to help "finance" the organization, 242 were either postmaster or postal employees. Of the 88 unidentified signers of notes, Congressman Harry M Wurzbach, the only Republican representative in congress from Texas, informed the committee that several of them were federal district attorneys, United States marshals, collectors of customs and other federal appointees and office holders. Mr. Wurzbach is quoted as saying: "It is the money had been taken from the federal district attorneys might have been voluntary, but the large proportion of assymmetric notes shows that they were not voluntary because mes do not usually go under a legal obligation to make donations of this sort." The Texas congressman also asserted that between May, 1921, and January 1, 1922, these notes totaled $66,000; due, he said, to America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper the fact that the terms of office were expiring and new notes were being demanded by the party leaders in the state. These contributions or notes, according to the Lone Star State national solon, showed a sharp decline after January 1, 1922; but began to mount again in 1925, and he predicted that they will again show an increase during 1929. These notes totaled more than $200,000, according to Mr. Wurzbach, and all of them were made payable to the Republican state organization, headed by R. B. Creeger of Brownville, Republican national committeeman from Texas. This testimony and evidence seem to corroborate what The Information has reported in the financing of the huge deficit resulting from the presidential campaign of 1920, when it is reported, Republican national leaders authorized party leaders in several of the states to underwrite their quota of the deficit by procuring "contributions" from federal office holders. Judging from the expose and revelation, there has been some bartering of federal offices other than by the colored Republican national committeemen from Georgia and Mississippi; and it will require weave what action these officious and pragmatic assistant attorney-generals of the United States will take in the Texas matter. STILL BY KELLY Though accused of seeking and obtaining "contributions" considerably less in size from federal office holders in Mississippi, Perry W. Howard, colored Republican national committee from the Mudcat State, was indicted and tried in federal court in his state; and though acquitted of the charges, more indictments are still hanging against him and newspaper reports state that he was indicted for the murder of a man to convict the redoubtable and clever colored Mississippi when he goes to trial on the remaining charges. Now, with such evidence in their possession and with promissory notes made by nearly 250 federal office holders in this state to the Texas Republican party leaders, what will be the outcome of the situation as it relates to G. O. P. leaders in this state? Will the matter be white-washed, or dropped like a torrid brick, or will the illy-white party leaders be indicted and tried for the sale of federal plums? Since no such startling exposes were made in the federal job barter situation in Mississippi and yet the party leader in that state was indicted and tried on the charges, how can the government be convinced that the evidence is well-nigh convincing, conclusive and overwhelming? (After prayer by Brer R. B. Creager of Texas, will Sister Mabe Walker Willebrandt and Brer Miller E. McGilchrist, Perry Howard's memes, please raise some old, familiar hymn?) Selah! MERGERS THE ORDER OF THE DAY The proposed merger of the three colored old life insurance companies (Northeastern of Newark, N. J., Supreme of Columbus, Ohio and Liberty of Chicago) and two colored colleges at New Orleans, La., (New Orleans University and Straight College), seems to indicate a new day among our group in America. There is more truth than fiction in the old-time adage that "there is much strength in union;" and this is just as true in the business and commercial realm as it is in the educational and religious field. Coming at a time when so many of our religious and denominational bodies are dividing or threatened with irreparable rifts and splits, it is indeed encouraging and gratifying to see our business and educational leaders attempting to unite their forces for a better and more substantive institution. In business, particularly, the Negro has been reluctant and loath to consolidate and pool his interests, and as a result the race has tried to do business individually and very little, if any, appreciable and permanent progress has been made along many lines. This is an age of mergers, consolidations, combines and corporations and the race which can not read the signs of the times and interpret that the advantage and betterment of its racial composition and the social order, will remain as the doormat for the other races and nations of the world. Doubt, suspicion, envy, jealousy and malice, the deterrents and impediments to cooperation, progress and growth, have too long held sway among the Negro race and prevented our group from putting over big propositions and consummating large programs, but this deleterious policy is fast becoming passe, and the Negro community will apparently apply the threshold of a new and better day, and our group is about to enter the field of big business in all that the term denotes and implies. Of course, mergers, consolidations and corporations, without trained heads, efficient, capable and honest administration of affairs; without conservation of funds and strictest economy; without teamwork and the utter absence of favoritism; with lack of modern, well-tested and amply proven methods of conducting and managing business, will not adhere to the standards with which destroy what little confidence in and respect for such commercial ventures the Negro race has slowly developed in various sections of the country in recent years. NEGROES INSULTED AT CONFERENCE It seems that no matter what eminences some of our white people attain, they prove themselves too small, ignorant and uncouth to rise above their racial prejudices; and thus they will hurl uncalled for and unwarranted insults upon the Negro race in public meetings and gatherings. During the recent silver jubilee celebration of the federal farm extension department, held here at the City Auditorium, it is alleged that one of the state leaders (white) grossly insulted the Prairie View State College male quartet, the colored agricultural workers present from all sections of the state and country, as well as the colored citizens who were present at this public function. The male quartet from the colored school had rendered several selections, whereupon this white Texas extension leader, who was serving as master of ceremonies, according to information given this paper from reliable sources, openly stated that after musical selections "by our Mexican friends (referring to a Mexican brass band from Kingsville) my 'niggers' from Prairie View will sing again." It is further stated that the young men from Prairie View became so attached to their work that they withdrew from the auditorium and did not sing again the morning. It seems a pity that typical Texas hill-billies and bourbon Dixie crackers should occupy important posts in such mixed gatherings, and it is all the more pitilable and humiliating that they should so revert to type as to insult part of their audience, and even cause the cultured and refined members of the white race to bow their heads in shame; for no thinking, cultured and refined white man will refer to Negroes as "niggers", darkoys,", coons,", etc. in public meetings, particularly where members of both races are present. It seems that this was the only discordant note struck and only insult heaped upon the colored contingent during the entire conference here, and the fact that a white Texar pulled off this "stunt," makes it a most unfortunate and revertible incident. OPINIONS STILL HARPING ON HOWARD By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. The United States senate, during the past four years, has resolved it alleged wrong doors. One of the unintended actions of the senate mittees has recently revealed the startling information that the Hooray attorney-general, at present appointed from his position on account of his two years of service, has pointed to his bank account $31,000 beyond his official salary during the two years of service. The affair is sought to be justified by the expected inference that the discrepant amount was derivation from the state of Mississippi. As national leaders, the tribune upon those whom he endorses for office. Originally, it year of repeated standing and substance, in transferring his affair from one city to another and in implementing a regular process of transference. The committee has indeed launched a plan of procedure, disclosing the private account of senators, representing officials would make interesting if not embarrassing reading. Many a person, without a proper man, without any visible means of support except hisitable affluence. How does it so happen that a Negro official is picked by the senate, known and widespread discrepancy? based upon the exceptional man, but upon the average man, who is not so exceptional, the state batch is indis ease. The risk is too high for the average man, of isolating the exceptional man, unless the average man of his class is under the average man of his class. I have said some time ago that I have said that the political distress are symbolic. This generation may not again see a N. Howard and Ben Davis are condemned the rule is contained through them. The rule is right minded Negro is highly condemned that they be not condemned unintentionally. On last Wendy nite I got hotch in er jam, by er young eosun dat I had burnt ter call er fris er mine.

Can it be a mere coincidence that practically every Negro politician who is independent footing is facing deep public humiliation? It seems bewildered, in a continent, should, at this particular juncture, altogether, all of a public scrutiny turned upon his dark nook of the political equation. One would not nor nor not an apologist of evil toads nor not a believer in the anglicity purity of politicians, white or black to take queries in his mind. Why is there not a corresponding proportion of the apologists in the charries? Are they supposed to be models of political purity as compared to game. A few years ago, half of the members of the president's cabinet were frightened into righteousness or not. Have the white wrong doors been frightened into righteousness or not, while their black yoke follows with their inartistic crudities, are left to the manly man who is capable; but public rightness and wrong doing should not be complicated with race nor race.

You cannot less the white race to which they belong. With a dependent minority group it is otherwise. You cannot find plausible excuse for not giving the white recognition to the black race by not posing very terrible examples of those who have been weighed and tortured.

Feature Editor The NEGRO GRO WH "After a mock trial, he was shot and Killed" NEGRO SLAVE was the George Washington and the Lincoln combined of Mexico. And he was also its second president. Mexico, at that time, was larger than the United States. Vicente Guerrero was born at Ixtla, Mexico, in 1782. His father was Juan Pedro Guerrero and his mother, Maria Guadelupe Saldana, of mixed Negro and Indian parentage. Perhaps there was also a white strain for he is often referred to as a half-caste, and Larousse, foremost French encyclopedia, speaks of him as a "mulatto slave" (esclave, mulatre) "who led the fight for Mexican independence." Guerrero began life as a mule-driver. His people were the lowest of the low. They were degraded by law, custom and prejudice, and hindered in every way from rising. Unlike Lincoln, Guerrero hadn't the slightest chance to learn to read. He was nearly forty before he knew a letter of the alphabet. In 1810 when Guerrero was twenty-eight, the struggle for Mexican independence began, led by a valiant priest, named Hidalgo. The Mexicans were heavily taxed by Spain, all commerce with other countries was forbidden, as well as all home manufacture. Hidalgo planted grape vines to make his own wine, and the Spanish governmentore them up. --- Interesting, Entertaining and Instructive A Section 2-Saturday, February 23, 1929 WHO FREE Or From Pro by J.A. Wine must be bought from Spain. At this time, too, the Mexicans were called on to pay an additional tax of forty-five million dollars—an enormous sum those days—to Spain. Really the complaint that the American colonists had against King George was nothing in comparison with that that the Mexicans had against the king of Spain. GUERRERO DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF Hidalgo declared the independence of his country and called on all Mexicans to follow him. Among the first to respond was Guerrero. In the first battle Guerrero distinguished himself, and was made captain. Armed almost only with pitch forks the Mexicans, most of whom, like Guerrero, came from the lowest element, were victorious. Among the number was also another Negro who is described by Villasenor, Mexican historian, as being "very black, of horrible appearance and extraordinary bravery." His name was Juan del Carmen. Later he was made a colonel and became the close friend and supporter of Guerrero until killed in battle. The Mexicans were at first successful but finally gave way before the Spaniards. One by one the leaders, Hidalgo, Morelos, Allende, Aldama, Jiminiz, Mina, were captured and beheaded. Others accepted the king's pardon. All but one: Guerrero. "Forsaken by for- --- From Slave to President by J.A.ROGERS FED MEXICO tune, betrayed, without money, without arms," says Villasenor, "with only his will power left, he was at this time of desolation and despair the only supporter of the cause of independence, causing to shine forth his valor, prudence, profound sagacity, indefatigable activity, and heroic constancy." "Even in the darkest days of the long revolution," says Rives, "he was the leader of a little body of unconquered men, who kept alive the cause of independence." The government even sent his father, Pedro, to plead with him, offering him lands and wealth, but Guerrero was firm. He had pledged himself not to rest until the hated Spaniard was driven into the sea. He never spared the life of a Spaniard nor asked for mercy from one. GUERRERO WINS TWO BATTLES Finally the Spaniards sent Gen. Iturbide after him. Guerrero whipped Iturbide in two battles. Iturbide had high ambitions. He wanted to rule Mexico. He had bought up the army, but Guerrero was in his way. He arranged with Guerrero for a parley, during which he told Guerrero that he had had a change of heart; that he believed the Mexicans were right, and would come over to them if Guerrero would side with him. The latter, placing full faith in him, agreed.

Finally his rival, Gen. Bustamente, bribed a ship captain, named Picklugs, to entice Guerrero on his ship and sail off with him. Piclugs and Guerrero were old friends. Accepting the invitation to come on board, Guerrero was taken to a port and handed over to Bustamente after a mock trial, he was shot and killed. At news of his death a wave of anger swept over the Mexican people. Bustamente was driven from the presidency and was forced to flee for his life. Piclugs, who had received $11,000 for his treachery—a great sum in those days—was sentenced to death. A pension was paid Guerrero's widow; honors were conferred on the rest of his family; cities and a state were named in his honor; and in 1842 his body was removed to Mexico City, where the highest bonus were paid his memory. Every historian has condemned his execution. His failures, says one writer, proceeded from his virtues. (THE END) (The sure to read the next article in this stirring and instructive articles.)
