The club is now singing a new song, entitled "When Do We Go To Kill Him?" just as we are going to conclude this weekly dissertation or what-have-you, there came a gentle rap on the screen of the Epicenter, the Revered J. H. Boyce, formerly archbishop of the Texas diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church, at Tyler, with a box of imported Hailey George Webster and this columnist. With S. B. "Cimbee" Williams close friend of Rev. Boyce, out of the University of Illinois, he wrote "Old Nu York," it is possible that these smokes will have a longer earth-toned flavor, but he here; for that investate smoker can certainly admire and consumes the kind of smoke you are away, "Cimbee," for these are certainly some good smokes that are clean and they are "sweet to the last puff," with apologies to a celebrated Rev. Boyce is now rector of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church in Chicago, which is now stationed since last October, while his wife is head of the education University and is now attending the University of Illinois working on her master's degree.

Arnold Hill, director of the department, cites other gains in industry for Negroes during the month of June. Significant Gains Noted After several years of service as stenographer in the historical department of the state at Des Moines, Iowa, a Negro woman on the death of a woman in her 80s, she was a trustee of the department. A Negro stenographer, who had been operating an elevator in a large hardware concern, was given a chance to demonstrate his worth in a clerical position. This happened in Fort Wayne. In the office of a Negro reporter, the operators have been introduced into a store hitherto employing white girls to perform the job. In one of a Negro reporter's in one of the 18 branches of a hosiery store system, and the addition of 18 groomers in state hospitals, the company already employed at the local Ford plant and two asphalt sprayers were employed.

TAR HEEL STATE NEGRO TEACHER RAPS DePRIEST TAR HEEL STATE NEGRO TEACHER RAPS DePRIEST Roper, N. C.—(ANP)—The attack made upon congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois by J. J. Clemens, principal of a local school, has been interpreted as an effort on the part of the state to treat children rather than practice through it, though it has been upheld upon the white folks of this section. Clemmons, who is reported having said that he preferred to teach children, has been accused, because "his folks" needed to be taught to respect white people and to embarrass some of his white friends in cross-examination, scored Mr. DePriest's conviction. It did not represent the opinion of the Negro race. Mr. DePriest of the Illinois congressman on the part of the school teacher who was born in the West Indies, has revived reports of other occurrences of white people by whom he is "highly concerned an occasion when he fired two of his teachers because they re-raised his sirt," and "no sirt." At this time he is alleged to have sought the aid of the police and threatened to issue warrants. While Clemmons might be well thought of by a certain group of whites, he is not held in high esteem by many. He is publicly been publicly denounced by Negroes and at one time a group of citizens who are considered to the best interests of the group.

FINAL NUMBER 11 GARY NEGROES PLAN APPEAL IN SCHOOL MATTER Gary, Ind.—(ANP) Steps are to be taken to appeal the Gary school case to a higher court, it has been announced here after the return of Atkinson McK. Baccony from Cleveland, where they conferred with Arthur B. Spirgain of the civil rights organization. The case grew out of the appropriation of $15,000 to start the erection of a school building after a strike by students of the Emerson High School who resented the attendance of colored pupils. While the three colored students who already were attending Emerson were allowed to graduate this June, the school will be admitted. Colored students attend the Freeboll High School, however, which has a foreign and colored school population. Negroes comprise 38 per cent of the pupils. Emerson is in a white section predominantly American. It is pointed out, however, that while the action to build the separate high school may be stayed, the state law of Indiana permits the segregation of Negro students where desired by the municipality, the only restricting measure the accommodation must be equal. The son of Justice of Peace William C. Hueston was among students who graduated this year from Emerson. When Judge Hueston attempted to enlist a younger son in Emerson, however, it is said that treatment was refused. Socialists Name Negro For Solon In Harlem District New York City. - At a recent city convention of New York Socialists, Prank R. Crosswail was chosen to make the race for congress in the 21st Presidential election, expired term of the late Royal M. Weller, a Democrat, who died several months ago. The 21st Congressional District takes in the greater portion of Negroes who can easily elect a Negro to the national Senate, if the voters of the district would register and vote for a race candidate. Within recent years, several Negroes have made the run for congress. In 1927 Rev. Geo. Franier Miller of Brooklyn, chosen by the Socialists, was the first Negro to be nominated for the office by any of the major parties. Since then, Dr. Chas. Roberts, Republican; A. Philip Randolph, Socialist; B. Brown Socialists, have made the run. Mr. Crosswail was formerly one of the leaders of the Pullman Portern Union. He is in present editor of Negro Labor News Service and a lecturer at the Pullman party. He has been active in the trade movements for the last 15 years.

ODD FELLOWS' GOLDEN JUBILEE GALVESTON, TEXAS, AUGUST 5-9, 1929 PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS ODD G G. W. JACKSON District Grand Master Cordiaan A. H. MIMS Deputy District Grand Master Calvert J. H. RIDDLE Endowment-Burial Secretary Dedication Honour S. M. COLLINS District Grand Auditor El Paso F. M. JOHNSON District Grand Auditor Denton 10 (By G. W. JACKSON) The Odd Fellows of Texas will be called upon to show by a modest demonstration the growth and progress they have made in fifty years in Texas. The order was organized in the United States in 1843 and Peter Oden was the organizer. The Texas Odd Fellows were organized 36 years later, 1879, after Peter Oden hung the first charter upon the walls of the first lodge in New York. Texas needs to congratulate herself upon the fact that she not only commenced early but has never turned aside one moment to listen to the voice of discord or any disruption. Indeed, there has been no discord in Texas since its organization. In this article we should mention some of the leaders, who were in the making of the order in Texas and we, who meet to celebrate the "Golden Jubilee," should note with pride the fathers, who have led us steadily and gently on in friendship, love and truth, these fifty years. The first lodge was organized at Bryan, Texas, the second at Galveston, Texas, the third at Hempstead, Texas, and the fourth at Corvisana, Texas. The first grand lodge was organized at Galveston, Texas and we are meeting at Galveston to celebrate our "Golden Jubilee" Our Leaders W. H. Whitley was the first grand master; Ed William was the second grand master; G. W. Franklin was the third grand master; D. Aber was the fourth grand master; H. C' Bell was the fifth grand master; H. G. Goree was the sixth grand master; G. Jackson is now the seventh grand master. Deputy Grand Masters The deputy grand master has been as follows, G.W. G. Worter, D. A. Abner, A.J. Madoo, C. A. Harriot, T. B. Harris, H. G. Gosee, P. W. Pucker, G. W. Jackson and A. H. Mims, present grand master. District Grand Secretaries Charley Ferguson, G. W. Jackson, J. P. Starks and the present grand secretary, J. T. Ewing. Grand Treasurer> R. H. Perry, H. W. Gilliam, J. Jackson, J. H. W. Blye, R. A. Yosek, G. W. Andrews and V. G. Goree, present grand treasurer. District Grand Lodges The first District Grand Lodge was organized in Waco in 1889 with H. C. Bell as grand master. With the Lodge, the community of America into districts, Texas became district No. 25 and the Household of Ruth became No. 13. Thus commenced the expansion of Odd Fellows in the district. The order has grown into one great body of men and women who have done much to develop the race to the point of the present status. Let friendship, and go forward till it covers the earth. Hard Year For Fraternals We do not hope to make excuses for any short comings which might have developed among the forces' which have been held in the field during the year. But let us hope that everyone did his best along the line wherever he was at work. This has been a hard year in the field of fraternal orders. Members of the fraternal orders and agents but many have fallen out for reasons, they say, of financial depression. This has been a hard year in many other ways. Banks have failed, robbers have stolen money, even robbers have stolen property, and above all there was the industrial depression which has in toto given us a very hard year. The drive closes only to permit us to celebrate our fifth anniversary and get ready to keep the bail-a rolling. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1929 Mary MRS L. M. HUGHES District Most Noble Governor Household of Ruth MRS. G. C. HOUSTON District Grand Worthy Recorder Household of Rx Houston Mary E. MRS. G. C. HOUSTON District Grand Worthy Household of Ruth Household Mr. toll counsel of Mr. median born among people in the poor MRS. E. S. KENNARD District Grand Treasurer Household of Ruth Houston What Has Been Accomplished The accomplishments of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows can hardly be measured in dollars and cents. It measures in depth the Atlantic on one side and the Pacific on the other, the islands of the sea at one end and the Great Lakes on the other. We shall not fumble with figures, nibble with English words to express the volume of work done by this order since its organization in this country.Words cannot express non-language portray the great work in human relief the order has done since its advent among the people. And still does not attempt to proclaim upon the house tops that they are doing millions of good to the people. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows have followed in their mission the example of the lowly Neazareen, who did his work without pomp and ostentation, so that today we preclaim with one voice that He is the Christ. And so thoroughly has the work of this order been done that men and women with one voice will say that the Odd Fellows are filling their mission wherever they have gone. There are 30,000 men and women in this jurisdiction; $14,000,000 has been spent in relief; $20,000,000 insurance in force; $575,000 in valuations are only figures when compared with the human relief which the facts will show when estimated. The Flood at Houston "God works in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps upon the seas and rides up the storm." And so He came riding upon the storm up the streets of Houston and filled the basement full of water. "God is we are pleased to know that God is no respector of persons. What was done to the temple of our order was done also to the manions of the rich. Our order may get out of the flood with a damage of $7000 while others receive $1000. Let us be content to praise God from whom all blessings flow. The Endowment Department The secretary of the endowment department has been sick for several months and notwithstanding that we have not worked on the work has been done without friction. That is to say that the work has been done well. We are glad to learn that the secretary is able to be in the office for the first time in five months. The Old Odd Fellows Home Among our recommendations at the last grand lodge was one asking for an old Odd Fellows home. This recommendation and will come before us at the coming grand lodge. In our travel over the jurisdiction we are convinced that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows should do something for the old and decrepit members of the community to charity to prepare for the well member and do nothing for the sick and decrepit member. It is poor charity to put flowers on the dead member and put coals of fire on the living members. Texas there are old members, lanes, crippled, blind and sick and no one to care for them but sometimes alone, neglected, distant kind that hardly stopped long enough to give the lives of those who the Odd Fellows ought to come to their senses and relieve this condition or come down off the walls. This is the condition that we hope to see removed before we die. God grant that the hearts of the members of the community should move at once in this situation. Galveston Is Ready? We are pledging our members that Galveston is ready for the "Golden Jubilee." Some one tried to make the public believe that Galveston is not ready. We are not going to believe after our repeated visits to the Island City and her repeated assurance to us that she is going to put the program over that she is not ready. Always we are vouching for her first, last and always, till we have been deceived. Look out, Galveston, we are coming! AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER JAMES T.

A job that odd-job man would scarer bear description, inasmuch as his condition was that any enemy could wish upon him. When he had made his way from the city of St. Louis to the city of St. Louis, the then youthful Rodgers had a suspicion that he had arrived and he had, in the midst of his journey, passed off as contentment. There was that thing about cooking that Rodgers had his wife and he was not disposed to complain that Lady Luck had only succeeded in success. He thanked her for what he had done and prepared to make the His kitchen, however, soon came to be known for something other than out. "He was the jolly cook who laughed it off when the greece came spitting into his face. The odd job around the neighborhood used to come around to Rodgers' kitchen to hear him. He kept them in a good mood. He was popularity, spread beyond his kitchen into quarters in the city where it was soon destined to bring about a big and unsuspected change in the Of course, nobody was running around advertising what a funny guy could do. He was, he was, he was. Without any effort or intention, he just seemed to make people laugh. He was, he was, he was. Sometimes after Rodgers became a cook, Billy King one of the most popular actors in the "famous fun" fellow, and got an opportunity to meet him. Mr. King got to be traveling through the South with his show and was about to take an opportunity to meet him. Rodgers was offer'd "straight" man. Rodgers was offer'd because he thought that he would compete and play straight opposite the great Billy King, but because the work presented him was too much wanted to see something of the world. He therefore, put away his knives and joined Billy King's trumpet. He has been a trooper ever since. Plenty of people have a natural soot for him and the fame of the team of King and Rod. He has been a natural soot throughout the land of the ka klux Then King came home—to Chicago. The Grand Theater in those days, the years just after the war, was a place where Players were carving a niche for the players. King was building the town Billy King was building a musical comedy diversions. In these fares foe and Rodgers were naturally howevever, much more than a team of homelands, many employed friends. King's successes enabled him to purify his kingdom and automobile, his straight man, and came the chauffeur, and this car was used to take the two of them on their way to the concert. This close union and popularity continued between them until 1927. King's successes featured with Earl Dancer's feature, featuring Ehlel Waters. King and Dancer made the jumps from town to town in his MacFarlane, rather than on the street, with the Dancer show. Fill the right spot with King, but during the eight years he and King had worked together, making him a comedian in his own right. King had been the "works" of the theater, where any thought was given at all, as to whether Rodgers could stand up It was in these early days at the burgel that he made a new name for him, the man with the name, he had started off by styling his name, with he had imbibed the undeniable implication the name contained.

The demand in the Chicago Deer conditions reveals in Dallas County, Texas, as follows: "We are for $400 a day on the farm and we are down and if we get in debt we have to almost eat bread and drink water." BUSINESS The twelfth annual session of the Association of Colored Railway Trains, sponsored by the Chicago Railway, beginning Monday, July 15. Commenting on the East Tennessee News says, "Colored men who are employed as railroad workers in other capacities on railroads throughout our Southland are the ones who are most likely to attend an annual session this week. It is well that these men should organize and it is to the interests of all employee unions. The employer will get better service and with employee working under the supervision of the employer to render the very best service." Negro tacitic companies continue progress. The Rite Rate Taxalic Employees employ 140 and has 51 taxicases The City Cab Company of Detroit and women and operates 156 cab. The Chicago Whip published a 48-page edition on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. The Detroit Independent has issued a blue book of Detroit, Michigan. The book "Ninety-one different lines of business are listed under the various subjects, including three divisions names 31 garages, 24 service concerns, and 24 taxacid concerns. Thirty-two company are men and women and 46 hawers, 32 confectionaries, 10 hammers, and 15 hotels, with a full list indicates that Detroit Negroes are wide awake to their business position. The week's summary of activities among Negro insurance companies indicates a forward trend in the demand for insurance companies. The Acme Life Insurance Company has opened for business in Kansas City, Missouri. The Domestic Life Insurance Company of Louisville has opened a new location and Argus feels "quite sure that the other insurance companies" in St. Louis will welcome the Domestic Life Insurance Company of Louisville to the city. The location located here may thus be enabled to handle and control more of the risks lives of colored people of the city. The Atlanta Life Insurance Company has been conducting an annual insurance survey of its industrial department. Already there has been a weekly net increase The National Benefit Life Insurance company has declared its 30th anniversary in its annual report, says that it has aided in Negro real estate transaction by advancing more than $360. The Credential Bond and Mortgage Company of Cleveland, Ohio, held its annual meeting last week, Dr. J. A. Miller, W. John Roxborough, and Dr. Haley Bell of the company, and application was made to enter the state of Michigan. Wilson Levett is president, Heather Black a second mortgage organization doing business through Ohio, and qualified Major R. R. Wright, president of the National Gumbers Association, and president of Southern Bank of Philadelphia recently commented on follows on the bank: The colored bank learned that money under the control and management of members of the Philadelphia ten had accumulated into billions, it would be not necessary to agitate for bets and soon accumulate into billions, it would make jobs for himself." The Southern Bell Telephone Company of Atlanta, Georgia, has engaged the company in a colorado man, to act as a special representative with an office on Auburn To Show Grocery Store Picture At Business League Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—(ANP) Headquarters of the National Negro Business League announce that, in connection with the program of work of the organization, a new team will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, August 14, 15, and 16, arrangements have been made to show the very popular and instruction film entitled, *This four-reel picture was prepared by Dr. Carl Dipman*. Dr. Dipman is now cooperating with the Business Negro community and because of the relative merchandising associations among Negro grocers and because of the need for a grocery store it could be shown in conjunction with the Indianapolis meeting, and is his favorite grocery stores. This will be one of the unique and interesting features of the convention. city. Since this appointment a few months ago, more phones have been placed in Atlanta colored people than in any whole year before according to a report by the Bell Telephone Company officials are very much gratified with this ex The Kansas City City Call presents a call by 28 Negro firms in Kansas City. It is a cooperative advertisement built around the class of the Lincoln High School in Kansas City. The title of the ad is People a People, Chance. Only in Negro Business Can They Find Opportunity in the advertisement. We are professionals, and craftsmans who present their case to employers, unless they are satisfied to be common laborers. It was to us that we want to help us as to struggle toward the goal of our own hopes that we have engaged in business. What want you to help us aim. Considerable comment goes the rounds of the press this week about the organizations. The Washington (D. C.) Tribune says: "Hundreds of thousands of teachers, teachers and teachers being thrown to the winds in sending delegates to these various nonessential, national and annual meetings, the Teachers Union says: "The annual meeting business has become a 'messance to the economy.' The California Voice says: "When we consider our population and economic conditions, is it the part of our organizations to be a further drain on our resources? Now that we are organizing now that are overlapping one another, instead of coordinating." The Light House, published in Piedmont months are always filled to capacity with annual meetings of lodges, societal organizations. But have we ever stopped to think of the benefit our race or ourselves derive from the organizations? $187,650 to entertain a convention for one week. Wouldn't it be a blessing if we could invest that amount in a system of chain stores, or a first-class standard clothing business among Negroes?" The Savannah (Ga.) Tribune localizes a commenting upon the annual gatherings of fraternal orders inorgans of congregations are doing much for the betterment of our people in the state, the thousands distributed, and many wroth while causes are helped. Lessons in organization and management are being taught. INDUSTRY That the employment situation in industry and agriculture is improving, the industrial relations department of the National Urban League and the National Labor Department materially reduction in the volume of unemployment among unskilled laborers last month. The department's staff practically every state of the union, the department bulletin states, "this year we will be steadily employed for the next several months." And the Urban League bulletin describes throughout the country as to unskilled and semi-skilled workers admitted due to the seasonal boom in construction and other 'outside' work. Thus, Negroes are favored in hot Springs, Arkansas, Charlotte, N. C. and other suburban areas. Monies, in road and track labor at Hot Springs, Arkansas, Charlotte, N. C. and other suburban areas, more than flooded and cannot absorb the ever increasing supply. The receipt revealed the astonishing fact that only two of 85 men applying for work had ever received any training for a parcel job. Lamenting the replacement of Reggive workers by white men, the Porter Recorder of that city observes that "the masses of our group utterly fail in their duties, and our leaders, if there be any, are wholly distinished to call effective attention to our effective remedy for the same. The only suggestion that names thus to be given to our words to that effect." W. J. Wheaton of the California Institute of Law and the recognition of the Brotherhood of Pullman Porters by the American Federation of Labor for the damage made to the labor labors when it no longer progress when it refuses to recognize one third of the tollers. It must be said that a news article from a recent conference of the New Japanese branches of the Urban Litter Bureau "because of unemployment, B. Lewis, our labor leader, has become gambler, and has saved his numberless life." EDITORIALS THE HOUSTON INFORMER AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER "It Gets You Told—Nothing Else!"

IMPORTANT! HOUSTON, TEXAS. SATURDAY. AUGUST 3, 1929 SOME GOING MUST BE DONE. BOARD! The recent act of the superintendent of the Houston Negro Hospital, who sent to North Carolina for a nurse and then refused the young woman the position when she arrived on the scene, and the resultant furore created here, are rather conclusive indicators that the hospital has not been successful in nurturing its characteristics so essential for a successful superintendent of a hospital or head of any public institution. Since her official connection with the local hospital, the present superintendent has made it a practice to send to distant sections of the country for her nurses, and when they get here and work for a few days or weeks, these nurses are either discharged or forced to sever their connections with the hospital. The room the young nurse is in, the hospital $196 (the young nurse firstly to accept the check after colored citizens had raised substantially all of the money necessary to reimburse her for the expenses incident to making the long trip to Houston from Southport, N. C. and back home), it clearly shows the shortsightedness and inconsistency of the present hospital administration. The Houston Negro Hospital ews money obtained from one of the hospitals, which is chiefly of its operation, and even though the institution is unable to meet this bank note, here we have the sickening spectacle of $196 being voted out of the hospital treasury merely to make amends for the arbitrary and automatic action of its superintendent and certain advisory autocrats. Suppose the imported nurse had come from Capetown, South Africa, or Australia, and instead of the citizens raising the money the hospital had been required to pay said foreign nurse, one can readily see that it would have represented quite an outflow of money. Who knows but that the present superintendent will not cable to Europe, Asia, Africa or Australia for a nurse, and then pull off the same stunt when said nurse arrives as she did when Miss Newby put in her appearance in response to both telegraphic and written communications from the local hospital superintendent? Several local organizations have been involved in the hospital and paid the services of a new superintendent for the hospital, and in their contents along this line The Informer is in hearty accord and perfect cononance. Not only in the Newby incident has the present superintendent demonstrated her inability and unfitness to manage the local elemeosnyar institution, but numerous cases are on record where situations would not have been handled had the superintendent exercised judgment. The Houston NEGro Hospital is too big a proposition to have its usefulness impaired and its progress retarded on account of any one person or small clique or coterie. If the present hospital board (colored) does not demand the immediate resignation of the present hospital superintendent, then colored will begin to regard them as either being too cowardly to act in the interest of the patient, or the patient turns against an individual, a board, an organization or institution, it is exceedingly difficult for either to regain the public confidence and respect. Since the present hospital board is composed of some mighty fine people, The Informer would be pained should such a hostile attitude be assumed on the part of the colored citizens of Houston toward the colored board, or failure or refusal to regain the public superintendent. It has come to The Informer that certain members of the colored board are now "begging" for time, advancing the argument that a suitable superintendent can not be found in a short time, and that the board needs ample time in which to obtain the services of such a person. True, then it begins to appear that certain members of the colored hospital board are endeavoring to dodge the issue, and are attempting to pass the buck; apparently trying to "run with both the hound and hare." These members of the board undoubtedly are wise and intelligent enough to know that in any such controversy there can be no middle ground in the motorcycle, they must be all on one off, no straddling the fence. As a matter of fact, when vital issues confront us as a people, too often do we essay to remain neutral; try to blow hot and cold at the same time. Such a feat, except as a circus freak, is hardly possible of accomplishment these days! No hospital can make much progress and assist in restoring people to health, unless nurses are employed who are trained and who know the care of patients committed to their care, and attention. The superintendent having driven so many trained nurses from the Houston Negro Hospital, the institution is finding it rather The Houston Informer difficult and embarrassing to obtain, and the services of capable nurses, and reports are affont here that several cases of infection (alleged to be the first of its kind since the hospital was opened) have been recorded at this local institution within the past two weeks, due chiefly to the lack of efficient and competent nurses in the operating room. Colored residents are open stating that they will not go to the local hospital for any type of service under the present management. The staff of the hospital are rather bitter and vehement against the present regime, and assert that they do not intend to return to said hospital as long as the present superintendent is there. In other words, the city is in open revolt against the hospital under the present superintendent and her arbitrary and autocratic advisors who seem to be qualifying quite rapidly as Negrophobes, tyrannies and absolute monarchs. The staff of the hospital is the temper of the colored citizens regarding the present superintendent, and whether it is politic to dispense with her services during a fight or not, the fact remains that as long as she is connected with the hospital there will be a fight waged on her and, incidentally, the institution; and if the board is waiting for the storm to abate, it is our guess that both members will wait and watch a long time; and the PRESIDENT SUPERINTENDENT MUST GO. OR THE HOSPITAL WILL GO! LOUISNIANA PYTHIANS DESERT GREEN According to the latest news emanating from the Pelican State, S. W. Green, grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Louisiana jurisdiction and supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, has been deserted and repudiated by many of his former staunch fraternal followers and adherents. It appears that a rift occurred between the titular head of the Pythians and other ambitious members of his Louisiana order, who tiring of Green's leadership and empty promises, pulled out of the regular Pythian order and organized the "Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of the Universe." Headed by C. L. Nickelberry of Monroe, La., as supreme chancellor and Dr. John T. Miller of Monroe, La., as supreme keeper of records and seals, the Pythian protest organization in Louisiana was disbanded. It is reported that Brer Green resorted to legal procedure to enjoin and stop these recalcitrant brothers from functioning as Pythians in the Pelican State, right in bold defiance of his "grand and noble order;" but it is stated that the supreme chancellor was defeated in his attempt to put the "insurgents" out of business and to prevent them from being registered and classified as Pythians. It is claimed further that whole lodges and courts are deserting the Green faction and joining the "Insurgents" indicating, to a large extent, that the supreme chancellor is being hooded and grip him own his people, right in his own bailwick. Whether the "insurgent" organization is a protest movement, or the result of fraternally ambitious persons, many of the leading colored men and women of Louisiana are said to be identifying themselves with the new Pythian order, resulting in the Green national jurisdiction. These same smouldering embers of discontent, mistrust, duplicity, autocracy, imperialism and high-handedness, said to be contributing factors in the promotion and establishment of the "insurgent" Pythian order in Louisiana, seem likely to flare up in other parts of the Green national jurisdiction, unless the forthcoming supreme lodge at Indianapolis, August 29, 2014, 1929, resolutely and determinedly faces the task of rectifying and remedying the situation. The Infermer has no fight to wage on Mr. Green, per se; but this paper, observing the trend of affairs within the national (or international) Pythian family, readily discerned in 1927 that the days of the present supreme chancellor's usefulness had about reached their termination, and that if the order is to be revived, salvaged and rescued from bankruptcy, disintegration and dissolution, it would be to the highest elective position within the gift of the fraternity. Not only does it reflect upon a grand chancellor of a state jurisdiction to permit a rift and split to occur within his forces, with the "insurgents" carrying off the honors, bacon, et cetera; but it is a very sad reflection upon a supreme chancellor who, with his power, prestige and pull, can not forestall an internal disruption of the division happens is unable to measure arms with the omission. If Louisiana can be considered a barometer in this fraternal organization, then Brer Green of New Orleans is going to experience much difficulty in retaining his post as titular head of the organization. He has been successful in its official family at Indianapolis during the present month. LEARNING VALUE OF ADVERTISING Realizing the value of newspaper advertising and meeting competition, the Colored Merchants Association of Montgomery, Alabama, recently employed a double page advertisement in the Montgomery Advertiser, one of the leading white daily newspapers of the South, in which all the membership stores and other businesses placed their business before the people of that city and section. This publicity represents the largest amount of space ever employed in a Southern daily newspaper by a group of Negroes engaged in business and commerce, and bespeaks a new day for the business foresight, wisdom and forward thinking on the part of the business and economic leaders of color in Montgomery. This double-page advertisement was used in connection with the first anniversary celebration of the C M. A. Stores of Montgomery, which is held from the date of the business section, there also appeared cuts of the colored leaders of the association. The ad carried the following foreword: "The C M. A. Stores started with the definite policy to sell quality products at a price as low as is consistent with fair merchandising—that our policy is appreciated is evidenced by the tremendous increase in volume of business and by an ever-increasing number of patrons. And we wish to pause to express our appreciation for the tremendous amount of patronage received in response to our definite policy." These associated stores in Montgomery, realizing that they could not survive in the field of fierce and keen commercial competition operating along individualistic lines, perfected an organization for the express purpose of buying their merchandise collectively in large quantities and giving their patrons the benefits of such wholesale purchases in their retail sales; and reports from the capital of Alabama state that the C. M. A. Stores not only are doing a fine business among members of their own race, but that members of other races are liberal patrons of these associated stores. Hers, again, is brought home to the race the value of cooperation, unified and judicious advertising, and colored merchants, among other cities of the country will do well to emulate the fine example of modern business exemplified in a practical way by these Montgomery colored merchants. Cimbee's Ramblings Brooklin, Nu York OPINIONS COLLEGE-BRED LEADERSHIP COLLEGE-BRED LEADERSHIP BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. The current issue of the Crisis conational thought, opinion and pro-terms usual annual analysis of the educational activities of the day and generation ensuing. Dr. Negroes are running into college and university field. In politics, we find that many of our most outstanding, conspicuous have been undreamed of the decade ago. The contingent of students in Northern colleges didily increasing. There are, toprobably more Negro students of collegiate grade, registered in err institutions, than could be in colored colleges twenty years. The standards are advancing. With Robert Vann and Carl Murphy, their collegiate contarnert. The current issue of the Crisis contains its usual annual analysis of the higher educational activities of the race. Negroes are rushing into college and university in unwonted numbers, yielding a list of graduate degrees. The crisis has even a decade ago. The contingent of Negro students in northern colleges is rapidly increasing. There are, today, probably more Negro students of full collegiate grade, registered in Northern institutions, than could be found in colored colleges twenty years ago. Negro students keep pace with the educational progress of the times. Colored schools, which two decades ago, were ambitious to call themselves colleges, have only faculties and facilities for adequate high school work. But every where, equipment, faculty and facilities are inadequate to standard collegiate requirements. Philanthropy, which at one time seemed to show indifference, if not unfriendless, towards the higher education of the colored race, is now liberally sustaining the leading Negro institutions and supplying adequate grade, standard of work assumed. Among the women, Madam Walker, Mary Bethune, Nancie Burroughs, and Alice Dunbar are unsurpassed in their ability to do things among the women. They have been forced orifice the plow handle and rope to the highest business achievement yet attained by the race. When it comes to organizing the masses into coherent and efficient working units, the college man has not so far shown the ability to lead the team and let the reader make out his own list of the leaders of the Eks, Masons, Odd Fellows, Pythians and faternal and secret orders, and derive his own conclusion from the data. He is conspicuously in the organization and leadership of the great Baptist denomination which involves two thirds of the entire Christian membership among Negroes. Morris, Boyd and Williams constitute the big three. No one else can argue for effective Christian endeavor. The old silly division as to higher and industrial education has happily passed away. Hampton and Tuckkee are now ambitious to assume rank along with their industrial applications. These two schools are already adequately endowed to insure importance. Howard, Fick, Atlanta, and the rest are entering into a new era of prosperity with assurance of adequate training in the work of instruction on the higher level. The states are not lagging behind in their generous support of the higher education of the Negro. North Carolina, West Virginia, and other states are lagging behind the Negro department of higher education under state auspices. Two thousand Negroes with liberal degrees are annually sent into the vineyard, and the number is constantly increasing. It is the cause of rejoicing at so encouraging an indication of progress. But one more comparison, and I must desist from this comparison, not for want of material, but for lack of space. If we confine ourselves to the Negro intelligentsia as expressed in the New York Times, we do not always come out first best. Of the creative writers listed in Dr. Locke's "New York" quoia a majority hold no collegiate degrees. Of the twelve colored members of the trustees board of Howard University, only one is a college graduate, and the other is a graduate or college. I am not unimindful of the formidable array of collegiate celebrities which might be listed to match the illustrations herein set forth. My main purpose is to stimulate the collegiate output to bask themselves in the glory of their accomplishments before them. College education cannot give ability, energy, energy, enterprise or initiative. These are inborn. But the advantages of college culture afford the best environment for such qualities to grow and develop. Comparison are odious or odorate as they wound or trick the vanity. But our rejoicing must be tempered with a word of caution. Wisdom in justified of her children. The scholar must be vindicated by his work. These college men and women have the highest opportunities of the race. The professional ranks are rapidly being supplied. The more attractive places in teaching, medicine and law are fairly well filled. Less inviting and attractive places still await replacement by college men and women. The spirit of sacrifice. The Christian ministry alone can absorb half the out for decades to come. But, unfortunately, where the harvest is whitest, the volunteer laborers are fewest. We must still pray the Lord of the heart to send laborers to the service and labor are most needed. College-bred Negroes must no longer satisfy their supercilious vanity by reveling in their academic conceit. They must rather crowd in on the arena and take hold of the mass life of the race. They must take leadership in the development of the vast economic, industrial, religious, social and cultural life. In this war will wisdom be justified of her children. In the light of retrospect, we are now prepared to make a more temperate and some appraisal of the effect of higher education upon the mass life of the race than could have been done thirty years ago. Then we have learned that the novelty and sound judgement by the novelty and enthusiasm of the experiment. Now we can calmly weigh balance and compare relative values without undue extravagance of prophecy which any new process always evokes. We naturally look to the leadership and wise guidance of the leaders in all canard, it cannot be claimed that this expectation has been fulfilled in the degree that was once hoped and claimed. The leadership of the race, in many important personalties with energy, enterprise and initiative often without a technical liberal opinion, has been supported by Booker T. Washington in the influence which he attributed to the edu- Homely Philosophy TRIFLES Napoleon was a master of trifles. The smallest details of a plumed at arm's length were the knot, and nothing was left to chance. Napoleon was very like the switches on a railway line, they are the insidious ones. Like Napoleon, let us attend to them. Like Napoleon, let us attend to them. CRITICISM It is far easier to criticize than to know. Anyone can destroy but few can behead that which has a different distance to construct can be pulled in a moment. A criticism should be helpful and construct only those who know what they do things and therefore know how, should criticism the work of another.
