Galveston, Texas, August 8, 1928—With the completion of fifty years' existence as a fraternal organization in the state of Texas, during which time the order has grown from the acronym stage to that of the mighty oak, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, led by G. W. Jackson of Corsicana, as district master, is in the midst of the midst jubilee celebration in the Island City this week. With the largest attendance at a grand session in the history of the order in this state; with the largest encampment of patriarchs and ladies' auxiliaries at Camp Jackson, located at School Park; with several brass bands as part of the military outing and grand lodge proper; with delegates (both men and women) from all sections of the state; with special trains literally pouring crowds into Treasure Island, no wonder Mayor J. E. "Jack" Pearce, Galveston's Republican municipal chief executive, extended such warm words of welcome to the delegates and visitors at the formal opening in the City Auditorium Monday night. It is a far cry, measured in terms, meet here on this occasion to also honor them and their memory, and to award flowers and pay tribute of respect to all the failures who have contributed their part to bring the order to its present status as one of the highest celebrations of the original conceived and operated and managed by Negroes celebration many of the original conceived and operated and managed by Negroes in the island. All honor and recognition of the first grand lodge held in Galveston, our host city, will serve this order, from W. H. Whitely to the incumbent, G. W. Jackson.

The Informer wishes to keep the record straight by showing the temper of the Negro citizens generally of Houston pertaining to this hospital situation. At the meeting of the Houston Business Men's Club held last month at the Houston Medical Center with J. B. Erickson presiding (O'Grigis) is also chairman of the colored board of commissioner, by an overturned passed resolutions calling upon the board to discharge the present Business Men Demand Change "Whereas, in our opinion, Mrs. M. those officers charged with management of the Houston Negro Hospital is in objective a rigid investigation of the abusive able to the overwhelming majority of charges against the superior colored citizens of Houston; be it Mr. resident (Mr. resident) Mrs. M. be correct that the men of the nature thatness Mrs. Club hereby requests the she be dismissed as superintendent of board of directors of the Houston Negro Hospital to discharge Mrs. M.

When you took the chair Hospital board, did you peruse the hospital by telling them the promised you that the services dispensed with as soon as the wounds were healed? 2. Did you make representations 1. When you took the chairmanship of the Houston Negro Hospital board, did you persuade the colored doctors to stay at the hospital by telling them that the white advisory board had promised you that the services of Mrs. M. H. Bright might be dispensed with as soon as the fight ceased, or at the longest possible time. 2. Did you make representations to certain business men of this city that you had the definite promise from the advisory board that Mrs. M. H. Bright's service might be dispensed with in 90 days, and did you, on the strength of these representations, persuade men to go with you before the doctors and use their influence to get the doctors to remain at the hospital and leave the Bright matter in your hand? 3. What did you do during the 90 days to oust Mrs. M. H. Bright? 4. When you became chairman of the board, the former board member, led by Rev. E. L. Harrison, had just resigned, giving their reason that the colored board was a mere figure head. You went to Dr. J. W. Shanghery, who was reputed to be ungrateful the prerogatives of the board and gave a letter from the statement of one man outweighing that of seven men of the E. L. Harrison type? 5. Granting you that believe that white plus one equals seven, why did you ignore the constitution and laws which really settle the question one way or the other? 6. Did you really take that chairmanship to serve the Negroes of Houston? 7. How does that show that 25% of the Negroes of Houston want Mrs. M. H. Bright out of that hospital? If the board isn't a figurehead and you are serving the Negro citizenry of Houston, why don't you give Mrs. Bright notice? 8. Or is it a fact that you are really letting yourself be used as a tool by Dr. Slaughter and Mrs. M. H. Bright for your private reasons? 9. How does your son, Ernest Grigby, happen to go to work in the X-ray department of the Houston Negro Hospital after you became chairman of the board? 10. Does Mrs. M. H. Bright own stock in the insurance company now being promoted by you? Did you sell her this stock after you took the chairmanship with the pledge to oust her? (Signed) CITIZENS COMMITTEE: J.

No death has occurred here or within Texas during recent years which has occasioned the surprise and sorrow attendant upon the untimely demise of this fraternal genius, who had attained national fame as an outstanding fraternalist and business administrator. Coming to the head of the Pythian order in this state when it was virtually inconvenient and internal discontent was a reality.

PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS BECK'S POSITION IN PARTY FIGHT ABLY OUTLINED Dallas, Texas, August 6, 1929. To the Republicans of Texas A long train of political conspirations intrigue, graft and criminal curruped the besieged the Republican party in Texas. For 8 years the Republican party in Texas has been functioned by desperate men. The principles of the party have been flaunted, prostituted, pawned and sold to the enemies of good government. Certain men call me "nigger lover". My father fought four long years to preserve the union, the results of that war were the addition of the 13th and 15th amendments to our federal constitution. I believe that the constitution must be observed, upheld and respected, and is the supreme law of the United States. Being a white man does not warrant me to deny a Negro equal rights and common justice before the law; and this is the extent of my love for Negroes. I do not use the Negro as an excuse for chatting, swindling and holldaying "nigger!" nigger!" and dodging behind him to traffic in and barter to the highest bidder for public offices. Senator Brookhart has undertaken the big job of cleaning out our Republican stables in Texas and putting true Republicans in charge of Republican affairs, thereby restoring the party to the control of Republican elections. I have to do these ends, he will have my aid and best support. I am tired of the Republican party being used by political adventurers and freebooters. The fight in Texas henceforth shall be loyal, unchanging Republicanism against unholy political coalitions, conspiracies, graft and criminal corruption. Every man, woman and child is invited to join me in this fight. We will win. We must win. Right will prevail and the powers of organized wickedness, graft and criminal corruption will be overthrown in Texas regardless of its apparent entrenchment. We are now organizing and will soon have perfected a determined compact body of men and women who will oppose the things here complained of and will contend that the affairs of the Republican party be divorced and separated from K. K. political pirates and religious fanatics. The Republican party must be used to foster good government by, of and with the people. No man or set of men has the right to bargain and traffic a public trust. For eight years Republican electors have been bullied, ignited, used as pawns and done to political death on the assumption that the leaders were merely ridding the party of Negrn domination. These political hucksters have disgraced our state, put to shame the Republican party, and organized the grandest political party that was ever organized. I am appealing to every true Republican to join me in writing me, 306 Meba Building, Dallas Texas, letting me know how you stand on the ground or data as if you have touching the graft and corruption which has engulfed the Republican party for the past century.

COLORED SOLON DENIES REPORT OF NEGRO PARTY Chicago, Ill.-(ANP)-In a letter addressed to the Chicago Journal, Congressman Oscar DePriest denied that he had advocated the organization of a national Negro political party and declared that he would always be in the Republican ranks. The text of the letter was as follows: “I have never advocated the forming of a special political party for Negro groups and never expect to I am Republican, elected on a Republican ticket and expect to stay in the Republican party and to fight for the Negro's rights within the Republican party, for that is the only party that has ever passed any constructive legislation for the benefit of American citizens known as Negroes.” The letter was in reply to an editorial published in the Journal criticizing the alleged advocacy of an all-Negro party by Congressman DePriest.

Grapefruit census shows 2,506,403 grapefruit trees in Texas and when they all come into bearing within the next few years, there will be a distribution problem to be met and overcome. 'DEMOS' ACTIVE AMONG NEGROES DRIVE PLANNED Boston, Mass. — (ANP) That the Democratic party intends to put up a fight to gain Negro votes throughout the country was indicated here recently. The Democratic national organization and titular head of Negro Democratic forces in the last campaign, was called to New York to confer with party chieftains. On the matters discussed in the meeting of the "higher up" and the exact purpose of the trip, other nationwide organization would be launched and the national purpose of comenting the advantages already gained among Negroes. The fact that when a great Democratic pow wow and hamper was held here in Boston, the Democratic Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, a possible presidential candidate in the 1936 election, made great efforts to see that representative Negroes be present. The quotet were: Dr. Silas F. "Shay" Taugr, Negro state candidate; Dr. Wm. W. H. McCormick; Attorney James Dr. Walter, O. Taylor and others. Previous to this low feast, another Negro from all parts of the state were present. Former Mayor James Negro, who was the office in the November election, was sent to the city to attend a appointment to Negro to high city offices in the face of storms of protest on the part of both white and black Negroes. The failure of Negro voters to support Negroes in the election State Senator and City Councilman Michael J. Ward of the 13th Ward, who has been elected although the bulk of Nedra voters of the 13th Ward have been politically emphasized that he, being Honorary "boss" of the ward, would be the mayor of the Nedra in the ward who desire any change in the mayor's role. POLITICAL POT HOT IN HARLEM; FIGHT ASSURED New York City—(ANP)—In the selection of delegates to attend the Republican convention to be held here during August, 79 were chosen to represent Harlem. In the long list of names made prior to the presence of a similar city in the Twenty-first Assembly District is taken as an enormous sign. Every member of the delegation is "hand-picked" and a supporter of "Jim-Crow" Conklin and his gang. The old set of die-hards are the first of the running series, the first list, but they declare they will have the final say as to who will win the election. In the 19th Assembly District, a fight is looming on Abram Grenthal, the present assemblyman and executive leader of the party. Alders� Fred R. Moore is determined that a colored man shall be the leader in this district and he is mustering his forces to that end. He will not stand for any division of the district such as is being perpetrated in the 21st district where the experimenters of the clergy areུred by the sources of politicians who wish to deprive the colored folk of their power in this section. In an editorial, George W. Harris, former alderman, declares that New York wants and must have a colored group to be the only group that will be possible when the sudden death of Congressman Royal A. Weller, Democrat, left a vacancy, but Governor Roosevelt, scenting a rat, neatly side-stopped the issue and let it run over until the general election this fall, although he had the power to de- It is interesting to note that Harris started the ball rolling for a congressman last summer and many thought he would get the plum, but all of his influence went to naught when Conklin peddled the nomination around among various persons in the district; offering it to James Weddon Johnson, Dr. Hayes and finally settling on former alderman, Edward A. Johnson. Should Harris get the nomination this fall, it will not be because of Conklin's support. Although Harris supported John C. Hawkins's childhood and alderman two years ago and Hawkins is a staunch Conklin man. The general unrest in the colored districts comprising Harlem is causing alarm among the leaders downtown. Counteracting this is not a bleach from among the ranks of the G.O. P., the Democrats are quietly mending their fences, recently giving Ferdinand Q. Morton, civil service commissioner, further power as leader of the United colored Democracy. Some of the most brilliant young Harlemites are listed as members this late-yearकोसोन and the general at the election of the committee which recently waited on Leader Curry following Morton's appointment, is sufficient to give the Republican leaders something further to worry over.

Dr. Peter Almele of this city and a member of the clans of the clans on the 1st of March and the 2nd of November of the Federal Council of Churches. In an interview given to the Baltimore Sun he commented on the riots between whites and Negroes in Princess Anne and North Plains, saying: “One cannot help but inquire, where are the churches? There must be churches in these towns. What good are they?” Is it possible for them to escape the responsibility of crime and its consequences? The United States government pugs the churches of this country more than $2,000,000,000 annually to check crime and set up a law and law-causing system. This is the first that all church properties are exempt from taxation to that extent. It is a solenous comment between the government and the churches. Every race riot indicates that the churches have failed to keep their part of the government. They are more than the clans of the clans and setting up moral standards that have to deal with racial understanding. “A more riot in a fair country like our eastern shore is incessable. They have churches and courts and fair-minded men. Why they should resort to a riot and brutal injustice to determine Magness is hard to understand.” "The churches of the eastern shore have a task to make racial understandings work, instead of giving so much attention to their denominational doctrines, to their institutional practices, for community betterment. One of the biggest tasks of Christians is to understand the differences of the human race is coloured and one-third of the white. The colored are raised from subordinate places to higher places, and the blacks arequent, more affluent, in many instances.

Veteran Members On Scene Reports Submitted Wednesday THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1929 "The GOLDEN JUBILEE" "The GOLDEN JUBILEE" Galveston, Texas, August 6, 1958. Master of Coconectes, Memoir of the Grand Union Order of Odd Fellows and Household of faith, Bettingsland Guente, Visitors, Ladies and Gentlemen. Brothers and sisters of the Grand Union Order of Odd Fellows, we should be grateful to our heavenly Master for his loving kindness and tender mercies which we have enjoyed as individuals and as members of a great Order since the organization was founded. We are grateful to unite in grateful homage to God for His wonderful care and beneficences these years of construction and evolution which have brought us along by the still waters of the Jordan these eighty-six years. Yes, eighty-six years ago the Grand Union Order of Odd Fellows launched her boat in the fraternal sea in the state of New York with Peter Opden the captain. The Grand Union Order of Odd Fellows took to the sea and took off for an unknown port. The desiring of the bark was not known when the vessel left the port. Destiny, length of time, difficulties to be encountered were not taken into account at the start. The object to be accomplished was in the minds of the crew which dominated their actions. With a brave and daring crew this little bark set out to explore the waters of the Jordan. Peter Opden the captain and James Fields and others were the mates and officers. The little bark took an easterly course and touched at several ports and finally turned her course south to Maryland, Virginia, Georgia and Texas and on board the first accessions in Texas: Bryan, Galveston, Hempstead and Corcissima following in rapid succession, planting the flag on the watcher. We need to be proud of the fact that the great state of Texas early took passage on the Peter Oden vessel as it bounded its way westward. We assembled today on this auspicious occasion to celebrate the 150th anniversary for sparing our lives to be participants in this celebration. Were it possible for Peter Oden and those who made up his supporters to look down from their lofty habitation today, they would be amazed and awe-streaked at the marvelous growth of the seed they sowed in New York City just eight-six years ago. Looking Backward and Forward backward we cannot see farther than we see the start as it was made by the pion we can conceive through the dim vista art was made and how it has grown forward we can judge what the future we past. When we look backward to the tiniest tree, the fruit that it borne, the tree that the fruit that it borne, the tree that the inhabitants that it can but explain that the fathers built knew. Looking backward we cannot see farther than we have lived. We cannot see the start as it was made by the pioneers of this Order, but we can conceive through the dim vista of the past how the start was made and how it has grown. Looking forward we can judge what the future will be in the light of the past. When we look backward to the tiny tree that was planted by the fathers eighty-six years ago and note the growth of the tree, we can see that it has overshadowed and the inhabitants that it has fel and clothed, but we can exclaim that the fathers built greater than they knew. The First Lodge In Texas at lodge organized in Texas, at Bryan, at Lodge and Lodge is still flying the colors and Truth. There are still in that lodge barners who planted the banner upon the No. 1921 at Galveston ranks second. Heather Lodge, who is the owner, chose the colors that they hoisted fifty feet, the barners are here today to take part in. The first lodge organized in Texas, at Bryan, is still counted as the Mother Lodge and is still flying the colors of Friendship, Love and Truth. There are still in that lodge a few of those members who planted the banner upon the rampart. Oleander No. 1921 at Galventon ranks second, Hempenstel No. 1932, third and Lily of the Valley No. 1933 at Cercisiana, fourth. All are flying the colors that they heisted fifty years ago and we trust those lodges are here today to take part in this cote- High and Low Places In Our Progress progress of every nation and every race the places. High places when time passes or prosperity are high and when life itself is low places when the nation loses hope and despair and destruction are imminent there have been low tides when the very water was threatened and life itself seemed exerted to say that in the mid of our programs, we have kept our courage and have brought the crags and seas of the sea. Up to the ship, that Peter Ogden launched, in 1815, we were on the deck of the sea, the flag pole has been at shot at and here and there, but we are proud to note, that today our ship is affronted to the ship is loaded with a cargo of gala or daughters that took passage fifty years and In the progress of every nation and every race there are high and low places. High places when time passes easily, when tides of prosperity are high and when life itself seems worth living, are the most important and the enemy approaches and despair and destruction are imminent. This is true in the life of an order as well as in the life of a nation. We have devastated and life itself seems ever more. We are proud to say that in the midst of our progress of high and low tides, we have kept our courage and have never lost our way among the crabs and shoals of the sea. We have been able to survive the storms and have never lost our souls. The storms have arisen on the sea, the flag pole has been shot at and holes in the flag here and there, but we are proud to note, with a great deal of pride, that today our ship is afflict upon the sea of prosperity and that we are now cheering for our daughters that took passage fifty years.

W. RICE While Mexican laborers are being deported by the U.S. government, American Negroes, even tourists, are barred from entering Mexico by the Mexican government, according to information received by C. W. Rice, president and general manager of the Texas Nero Business and Laboring Men's Association. Mr. Rice has just returned from the lower Rio Grande Valley and other rural sections, and states nearly every train and numerous trucks are carrying the Mexicans The cause of this deportation is the enforcement of the U.S. immigration law. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 50,000 Mexicans will be deported from South Texas by March, 1930. The farmers and contractors are beginning to seek Negro labor to replace the Mexican. Mr. Rice further states that his association will cooperate with the managers of industries and farmers in helping to secure sufficient Negro labor, provided that living conditions can be equal to that of other sections of the state. While on the border, Mr. Rice verified the reports that Negroes were barred from entering Mexico at Brownsville and other border towns. The reason given for this restriction is that the border Negroes had conducted themselves in such way that it became necessary for the Mexican government to cross them as indeliable. Special mention is made of the conduct of about one-half dozen on the 19th of June at Matamoros, which was of such that the citizens of that city called an indignation meeting and entered a protest and the result was that the conduct of six barred sixteen million. Mr. Rice will continue his general labor survey through the North and East, leaving for Chicago and Indianapolis and other industrial points. WHITES ATTACK RACE WOMEN IN DIXIE STATES New York—Two of the most astonishing cases of criminal assault ever known have recently been brought to justice. A woman, whose where white men have attacked colored women. In each of these cases the woman was revealed here recently, in seeking to bring the assaults to justice. The woman was recovered in Melbourne, Aranhaan, early in July. It is alleged that Jim Davis, white, who was accused of assaulting a woman in Melbourne, Aranhaan, now an eighty-year old colored woman who lives in Melbourne and Franklin, Winston, called in the court of Justice Tom Smith at Melbourne, Attorney Demone Taylor, who declared that he believed her assault was withdrawn from the defense, the lawyer declaring that he believed her assault was withdrawn from the case. His announcement was cheered by the crowd. The elderly colored woman takes in washing. It is charged in the complaint that the two white men first went to the home of Mrs. Lula Brook, the home of Mrs. Lula of the first, that Mrs. Brooks seized her children and fled, escaping from the white men. Mrs. Brooks urged her cousin, John Petty, to get help for her aged mother. Petty called his landlord and told the old-old home and drove the two white men away but not before they had attacked Mrs. Johnson. The defendants, following the withdrawal of their attorney from the case, were returned to the home of the new hearing to be set when they have obtained a new lawyer. The second case is reported to the N. A. A. C. P. from New Iberia, Louisiana—by the New Orleans branch of the New Orleans Branch of Sterling, a young white man, is alleged to have brutally raped a nine-year old Negro girl. Sterling's brother has also been arrested charged with an attempt to raviish the sister of the time making the make her rescue. The brutal attack soon came, and the two young colored children was committed in an isolated place near the Southern Pacific towerhouse in the upper section of New Iberia, accordably the same place. The Iberia envisages of July 20. Upon being charged the two Sterling brothers were folly identified by the victims of their attack. Judge Simon has ordered the grand jurors to reconvene into session for the purport of making an attribution against the two white. The evidence is the date of trial will be set by the court. The New Orleans branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is closely following deviceness of the New Orleans national office of the N. A. A. C. P. to see what the outcome of these two notorious cases. M. W.

The association served notice there would be an uncompromising attitude towards misconduct and that the highest ethical standards would be maintained. The convention was warmly welcomed to this city by Acting Mayor John C. Nagel, Attorney Percival Piper of the Harlan Law Club, Charles C. Diggs of the local business league and Dr. D. C. Northercross of the local medical association. Resolutions presented by Homer G.

Another set of resolutions expressing regret at the untimely death of the late William T. Francis, United States minister to Liberia, presented by C. H. Calloway, were passed unanimously. Social courtesies presented by Detroiters were numerous.

Saint Louis Negro Building Houses Several Concerns BY CHARLES THORPE (For the Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo.—Chicago may boast its mammoth insurance companies, and New York is its literary circle, but St. Louis boasts and rightfully so, of having almost and entire "business" there. "This business city" is found at Jefferson and Market streets, in the city, and is home to insurance companies, real estate companies, Fraternal elabs, drug stores, photographers, tailors, tempersal and newspapers. The People, Finance Corporation was established some years ago, it was not the purge of the founders to establish a organization to help the wage earners buy homes, borrow money, and progress of the Negroes of St. Louis. These things have been done in the past, and the economic progress of the Negroes of St. Louis. This new development has been developed. Just how well the People's Finance Corporation is indicated in the fact that resources of the company are more than through it hundreds of small wage earners have been created to purchase and become more substantial citizens. The industrial bank cateres, especially to the needs of the industrial workers. Loans are made upon character, and evidences have been kept down to minimum. Evidences have been collected by president and manager. Mr. Lindy, one of the managers, has believed largely in the theory that a man with character is the man with man's ability. The home of the People's Finance Department, the city's fire-fireproof structure, modern in its phases and one of the most comfortable cities in the nation, points sane out that this alone prove that there are thousands of "honest city" and "city" that the company is operated on a safe and sound basis.

FRANCE CHANGES POLICY TOWARDS COLORED GROUP Paris, France.—(ANP) — American dollars are warping the attitude of France toward Negroes, according to the report. A�abott, என்றing the job Robert S. Abbott, editor, published her of the Chicago Defender, who with his wife, Mrs. Helen Abbott, is touring Europe, studying the Negro question. The text of Mr. Abbott's statement, which was published in the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune, was as follows: As everyone knows, a spirit of liberality toward the Negro was an Ended friend, except that even the fondest friends of the black race have to concede does not obtain in America he said. "If the spirit of internationalism is to be the same as the Yagorov in the future, he is the deminating factor in the future relations between countries, it also sounds the note for greater enlance in the Negro. In the case of the American-nationalism, the other and, equal cooperation does not result from the Young plan, but rather domination of American dollars then," said Mr. Abbott, and before doing so, he told the report that he was quite emphatic on this point and also on the significance of these "dollars." "American dollars," he said, "deterrents in European attitude on many questions, until I am afraid that even the European liberality of spirit to ward the Negro is to be affected by the American Taxation. I am not a factor for instance, which is, are greatly frequented by Americans. They cater to the American taste in color just as to the American taste in food. I have a great interest in the fact that of these cafes recently—a thing which would have been unheard of in the days before the war when Europe was fully at home.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS - ROOSEVELT HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1929 WILL NEGRO HOSPITAL BOARD ACT? Notwithstanding the fact that the colored citizens of Houston en masse, have revolted, literally, against the present superintendent, ent of the Houston Negro Hospital, whose lack of tact and other official and semi-official acts have done much to place the institution in a bad light among the colored contingent of this community, the colored board of the hospital has done nothing even to the extent that the colored board of the superintendent has been given or is being given serious consideration. Although orders of the colored board (both present and past) have been ignored, nullified or countermanded (as was done recently in the Newby case) by the present superintendent of the hospital, she still remains as head of this institution; and rumors are current that she is asserting boastfully that "all the 'niggers' in Houston can't hurt me with my good white folks!" It has been hinted also from certain hospital circles that the colored board is impotent and powerless to remove the present superintendent; while some are saying that, due to the fact that they are a positive of one of the colored board businesses, has given a position in the hospital recently, the present board is merely playing for time, and trying to find some excuse or alibi for not acceding to the demand of the colored physicians and citizens that a new superintendent be procured for this local institution. Relatives have been so strained that the present superintendent and the colored physicians that many of the latter contend that they are afraid to send their patients to the hospital, less reprisals be committed upon them (the colored doctors) through their patients while inmates of this eleemosynary institution. Last week, it is alleged, the wife of one of the leading colored fraternalists of the state, who was under the care of a colored doctor at the Houston Negro Hospital, was forced to leave the institution and return to her home because, she asserted, an attack on her husband by a black magistrate which echews medicine and physicians; and by the further fact that the head of the hospital refused to follow the attending doctor's instructions regarding care of food and for said patient. The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, composed of the leading women of the city, held a meeting last week and passed statements to the president of the Houston Negro Hospital, and citing agent and tenable reasons why the present superintendent is a liability rather than an asset to the local institution. In this connection, whenever women take a stand against an individual, institution or organization, such a protest movement unites the community and not be protected and affirms more backbone, courage and fight than the mere male, 'she will not give up the battle until she is triumphant. he hospital situation has reached the point where colored citi-ress expressing openly their unwillingness to go to the Houston Negro Hospital for hospitalization, fearing that their physician would be arrested and the present tyrannical regime and dynastic fantasy! under We will give to the b superint protest n head of it something colored box pate by its the hospital "getting in bad" with the people for whom it en built and to serve; with "dipolitic relations" almost reaking point between the colored hospital staff and the indent; with the colored citizens holding indignation and meetings and demanding the resignation of the present te institution; with charges filling the air that there is n about to bring itself into public disfavor and disre- pute by its could like to know just when or where the colored board is matter? would be due to hold the matter in obeyance, when every moment's delay is doing additional damage to the hospital and the cause of suffers' ing humanity in this community. What excuse or alibi can the colored board advance for its dilly tactics in the present crisis? Is the colored board a real board, or mere figure-head and puppet? Are the hands of certain members on the present colored board tied, or are any of them under obligations to the superintendent or her advisory autocrats? Is it a matter of jobs as against justice, principle as against self? Does the present board fearriticism from some of the Nordic supporters and backers of the superintendent? Are any members of the colored board afraid that they will be called "radicals," "squatters" and "trouble makers?" Are they fearful that they will be replaced with another black board which will be the bidding and play into the hands of the superintendent and her two authorities committeemen? Temple at being bated by dilatory cavorting and attack at being the devil around the bush? Are not the interests of the hospital paramount to one person, or small coterie?

In other words, we are, even in the absence of any action on the part of the colored board, going to sit supinely and by percussion conception about the colored hospital. Whether the colored board knows it or not, the fact remains that the condition of this patient (the hospital) is becoming more precarious every day, and if this malady or disease should attain a chronic state, the institution's demise is inevitable! Finally, brethren and sisters, will the colored board of directors of the Houston Negro Hospital act in this matter, and place at his head note, "person who has more than minor technical training to commend them for this important and responsible post." DO By KELLY These be dog day relaxation. The which pester and tals during the morn of the year must from the midst of universal vacant clerk, the struggle TOO MANY SMALL GROUP MEETINGS While holding no brief for the National Negro Business League, which will convene in its annual session at Indianapolis, Indiana, August 14-16, 1929, The Informer holds to the opinion that the various small or minority bodies among our race should hold their meetings in connection with the business league. There are several small organizations to hold annual meetings, and, with the possible exception of the doctors, dentists and pharmacists, who hold a joint association once each year, there is hardly another group or bloc of Negro business or professional men and women in the country whose annual meetings are attended by enough representatives to even warrant the railroads granting them reduced train fares. There are also several small organizations with one or two of these small organizations, also attend the annual gatherings of business leaders; and it strikes The Informer that it would be a stroke of economy and good sense to meet jointly and thus obviate the necessity of all this unnecessary waste of time, money and energy. With our own journalistic fraternity, we have observed that more newspaper men attend the National Negro Business League than attend the National Negro Press Association, which only had a baker's dozen at its spring parley in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In a large measure, this is true of the lawyers, morticians (undertakers), bankers, insurance leaders, and others; and it appears that the majority of these groups are serious minority organizations and affiliate with the business league, meeting at the same time and in the same place with the league. If warranted and desired, the league could extend its session from three to four days, and these groups could hold departmental meetings during the annual conclave of the league; while all could attend the meeting. By combining and merging all these smaller business and professional bodies, and meeting in conjunction with the league, the attendance would be sufficient not only to obtain reduced railroad rates, but there would be enough delegates and visitors in the convention city to make a decent and respectable showing, but not the most of the individual management. In different section of the country at different seasons of the year, not a single organization, with the possible exception of the business league, gets more than passing notice either from the colored and white citizens or the daily newspapers of the convention city. Such meetings should be held for the benefit to be derived by those attending the conventions, and not as social outings and passion for fraternizing and holding mutual admiration societies. Business men should demonstrate some business not only in the conduct of their various enterprises, but also in their extra-business activities. Mergers, consolidations and combinations constitute the modern trends in business and commerce, and even in the educational realm; and for the Negro business man intends to stay in sight of the progress of the business man in all lines and work in harmony and accord toward one given end. Most of our minority organizations were started principally to give some man or men office—one of our racial manias seeming to be the insatable desire to occupy some office in an organization; apparently, caring not whether the office, officer or organization is filling any particular place in the life of the race and society. In age in which we live demands results, and no organization, institution or individual can hope to retain any hold upon the people unless some definite and tangible results are accomplished. The Informer would like to see the forthcoming session of the National Negro Business League tackle this problem of merging and welding all the various small racial organizations into one large and powerful body, so that we can at least have one national organization of men and women engaged in the several avenues of commerce, which would be a more efficient, practical and which will be in a position to project and commume a real constructive and serviceable program for Negro business throughout the country. LOCAL BLACKS NEED MORE PARKS! Some weeks ago The Informer carried an editorial showing the huge amount of money the city of Houston is spending annually for white parks and the niggrity amount or pitrance it is expending for the upkeep and maintenance of the one so-called municipal park. The city maintains 27 parks for whites, containing 2473 acres; while Emancipation Park, which the Houston Negroes bought years ago and turned over to the city during the Campbell administration, comprises only 10 acres. On the basis of a 300,000 population—220,000 whites and 70,000 blacks—it is for every white man, woman and child in Houston; whereas there are only 6 square feet for every colored man, woman and child in Houston. If all the white citizens of Houston decided to take advantage of recreational facilities afforded them in these parks at one time, they would have plenty room in which to exercise, without getting too crowded. They would have decided to play at the same time, they would have to content themselves by jumping up and down practically in one place and space. According to records at the city hall, the municipal spend $200,000 per annum on white parks for their operation and maintenance, while only $5,000 is listed as the annual appropriation for white parks. The Negroes in the city were municipal parks all over the city for whites, while the only park for blacks is located in the Third Ward, miles away from the majority of the colored citizens of the city. Colored citizens pay taxes for parks, yet they get virtually nothing in return but a tax receipt. Furthermore, the colored park has rented its parks for dances and other charge events, realizing full $3,000 per annum from this source. What has become of all the money made from renting Emancipation Park throughout all these years under city ownership, control and management of much of this money has been employed to improve the physical property at the park, and what has become of the balance? Where is the fairness and justice in a system that practices cheap or a flawless discrimination? OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings DOG DAYS DIVERSIONS! By KELLY MILLER. Howard University, Washington, D. C. These be dog days. The world is in relaxation. The troubles and trials which pester and perplex weary months during the more strenuous month of the year must be banished from the mind. August is the month of universal vacation. The governor teaches, the struggling physician and starving barrister, must need his himself to mountain or seashore or loose his social catecade during the coming season. We be to that social teacher, the struggling physician and starving vacation?" who driest叫 "At my customary club or place of business." The Hebrew money lenders and pawn brokers contemplate a fat harvest as their advances are returned when the leaves are picked up. A field hand from South Carolina, accustomed to working from sun to and living on the fat of the land - fat meat and corn bread - by sudden change of fortune, finds himself in the shade to take his summer out on beach or lake or mountain the high, where he is prone to the outdoor Jones in tinsel show and a "s that. It is ever thus with meat homo in society. Herein the man is a master of the craft for the laughter of the gods. How many a dweller and bell of hop of a decadeago will be parading the beach and his alabaster cludia clin in sunshine and salt air. How many a queant after vacational thrills leaves his house and his land. How many a home on a shady city street and his home on the sea shore place and he is assigned a back room on a back street of diminutive dimensions, in a boarding house of meager facilities, with the landlord's landlord the landlord has received his exhertent demands and the mosquito has exerted his till there is not much left either of purse or pleasure. But wisdom must have its season of folly. As it was in the beginning, its now be world, shall be without Amen. on vacation. The usual processes of activity are adjourned. President Hoover remains in Washington and splits his time between the mosquitoes of the White House and the rattlesnakes of his Rapidian fishing camp. While the government, like the Old Man River, runs right along, yet like Caesar's river, it moves with such incredible slowness, that one cannot tell whether it is going or coming. We have been assured twenty times by the optimistic politicians that in the very, very near future, the president is going to shake the official plum tree, and that the gathering there from will make the heart of Afro America glad. But we must wait till the dog days are over, even to realize this too long deferred hope. Brooklin, Nu York.

And then again the humor of the reader must be considered. Who wants to read about the crime wave, the prohibition program, farm relief, money, when the thermometer registers above ninety? Even now the ministers of the gospel leave their churches and congregations in charge of the devil while they plunge into the gayties and ribbons of their pupils and his pupils to the sway of ignorance while he rewels in the fun and fervility of the good old summer time. On his return, the pastor often finds that his membership acquired more years than he can remove the rest of the year by his strident preachments. The pedagogue discovers that his pupil can forget more knowledge in three months than he can teach him in nine. The teacher can be his or her bitter regret that it will require the ten month of strenuous effort to replete the coffers depleted by the two months vacation. But it is a poor dancer who is not willing to participate and all vacationists are good dancers. BROWN CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH (3298 Washington Ave.) Rev. E. W.
