CHURCH HOLDS LEADING ROLE N NEGRO LIFE Philadelphia, Pa.—(ANP)—“However poorly constructed or inadequate ly directed,” says Dr. W. A. C. Hughes in a recent report to the board of home missions and church extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church, “the church has, exercised more influence on the Negro than all other institutions or agencies combined. It has been his place of worship where, with one accord, he sang his songs, which expressed his faith, his longings, his ambitions, and his ultimate triumphs. The minister, however, poorly trained, has had little difficulty in holding the race to the church. This has also been his social center. In fact, for a long time it was the only place where social contacts could be made up any large section of the church. “The church is now the major influence in Negro life, but any observer will find that there are institutions and agencies which pretty generally provide for his social life today. A visit to religious services will reveal the fact that in those communities where there is something else which provides for-public assembly, his interests are somewhat divided. “We are greatly in need of a program of training in matters of religion. Evangelism, as practiced in our group, is chiefly of the mass revival type. In small towns and country charges this form of evangelism has not entirely lost its power. But in the cities of the country, the effective use of our city churches is at a try to win recruits. Some few churches have the 'every member canvas and the personal visitation plan. We have made a canvass of 67 districts touching every colored conference in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Every district superintendent interviewed reported that all of the churches on his district conducted some type of evangelistic services which had for their purpose the winning of unsaved X sons to the church.

Holsey secretary of the National Negro Business League, which met here in its 30th annual session Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, are adopted by Negro grocers of the country, the NegroULA group, and all other ready operating in Montgomery and Selma, Ala., and Winston-Salem, N. C., will be established in 30 cities. Such organizations would link up 500 Negro grocers in a country-wide chain with a total of 1,000 members of the country employment of at least 1,000 more of our people in clerical, selling and administrative work. It would offer an immediate, valuable and concentrated market for certain products now manufactured by Negroes. Negro banks, the American Bank, and other financial companies in our group would directly or indirectly benefit. Three hundred business men and women from New York to California and Minnesota to Florida, joined by hundreds of Indianapolis people, spent their time in the business of the nation of the problems confronting retail merchandising among Negroes. 'Papers were read by experts of both races setting forth the handicaps of retailers and offering definite suggestions for remedying the situation. The great success of the salesmen, teachers of economics, experts in cost accounting, advertising men and others interested in the changing methods of store management and distribution of produce. Following the presentation of papers open forum discussion was held at the National Negro Business League, as of the present status of Negro business and the possible remedy were voiced. There were those who expressed the opinion that Negro business is justified in making a race lay down in the business of the Negro business. The Negro should cease selling pride and sell service, quality and courtesy, pointing out examples of Negroes whose trade knows no color line. Business should be business these said and the Negro should seek trade without pressure, and not complain because of his own business. As a result the Negroes may not trade with them. Delegates to the meeting stated that it was the most interesting and engaging event held in recent years. Speakers were well prepared and audiences appeared in the open forum discussions. The speeches were more factual, scientific, and informative, and meetings. A sense of having accomplished some accompanied each session. On the Friday morning session loving cups were presented to representatives of Louisville, Waco, Texas, and Kentucky in the National Negro Health Week contest sponsored by the league. The best observance of health week among cities of more than 100,000 in all entries, Waco, Texas, won first place among cities of less than 100,000 and Anne Arnelud among rural Indiana. Indians proved to be a most coriolist to the visitors. Not only did they present their observations, but Mayor L. Ert Slack and to the state by Otto G. Fidell, Indian's youthful secretary of state; but by representation of states, and professions as well as by the hospitality of the people of Walker Manufacturing Company interests in whose magnificent new meetings were held. SELLS WATER FOR WHISKEY; KILLED TOWN MARSHAL NEGRO STUDENTS SENTENCED FOR SEEK KNOWLEDGE BEATING NEGRO IN NEW ENGLAND Jennings, L.a.—(ANP) Albert Dupain, white, town marshal of Eton for the past 8 years, was found guilty in district court on the charge of assault and battery and conspiracy to commit assault and battery, and sentenced from one to seven months in jail on the conspiracy charge and one month and a fine of $20 on the charge of assault and battery, the two jail sentence to run consecutively. He was convicted by Kelly Ledoux, Negro dance hall owner of Eton, and the state proved that there was a conspiracy existing between Dupleain and C. L. Marcelant, the latter a former highway enforcement officer. He was convicted of guilty and was given four months in jail on the conspiracy charge and $20, or thirty days in jail. Jumperorter stated that a different sentence was better noted out of the four charges and had not been an officer of the law and if he had not complied to "bear up the Negro."

IN ANSWER TO YOU The Houston Sentinel has citizens committee: "When where and how represent the Miss Port, N. C., to come to Houston Negro Hospital. You Miss Newbury arrived, with Bright refused Miss Newbury from the care of her own. Miss Newbury winten days, you will recall the to get succor and aid from Houston Negro Hospital. When Miss Newbury's com to be an indictment against hood of Houston, the citizens committee has nearly undertook to right woman home. The comm. elected its own chairman. The list of contributors listed in the Houston Info any doubt that may be raised committee represents the zenity of hood of Houston. This is 150 representative. In this Sentinel would have been an amount which Mr. Barr pled. Although the citizens fully answered The Sentinel the benefit of The Sentinel that the important things. What difference do the Mr. Barr forget to quote Mr. Barr forget to quote Mr. Grigsey, since The Sentinel these matters is so import. Finally, if the Sentinel No. 10, what about the other Questions to members of next week. IN ANSWER TO THE SENTINEL The Houston Sentinel has asked the following of the citizens committee: "Whose interest and how they because a committee to represent the New citizenry of Houston?" The citizens committee came into being in this wise: "You will remember, Mr. Burr, that Mrs. Bright telegramed and wrote Miss A. N. Newby, of Southport, N. C., to come to Houston to work in the Houston Negro Hospital. You will also recall that, when Miss Newby arrived, without any just cause, Mrs. Bright missed Miss Newby the position. It is also fresh in your memory, we are sure, that without fault you will remember that Miss Newby ten days, you will recall that Miss Newby tried in vain to get succor and aid from all of the authorities of the Houston Negro Hospital. When Miss Newby's condition became so pittable as to be an indictment against the intelligence and manhood of Houston, the citizens of Houston, with their sense of justice and fairness thus challenged, voluntarily undertook to right this wrong by sending the citizens of Houston, thus voluntarily formed, elected its own chairman. The list of contributors to this worthy cause as published in The Houston Informer is the best answer to any doubt that may be raised as to whether the citizens committee represents the attitude of the Negro citizenry of Houston. This list was composed of nearly 150 representative Negro citizens and institutions. The Sentinel would have answered it if it had paid the managers of Mr. Burr. But although the citizen委会 feels that it has fully answered The Sentinel, it has done so merely for the benefit of The Sentinel; for the committee feels that the important thing is the pertinence of the questions. What difference does it make as to who asks the questions? In this connection, we are sure that Mr. Burr forgot to quote his authority to speak for the managers of the citizen委会 feels that authority in these matters is no important. Finally, if The Sentinel takes exception to question No. 10, what about the other nine? Questions to members of the board will be resumed next week. (Signed) CITIZENS COMMITTEE: 2.

Boston, Mass.—(ANP)—Is round numbers, 360 Negro students attended the graduate schools, colleges, and universities of New England the past school year. This is approximately a 200-per cent increase over the number of a decade ago. While Harvard, Yale, Brown and Dartmouth for men, and Radcliffe, Smith and Wellesley for women claimed the large majority years ago, smaller institutions not so well known but whose curriculum nevertheless was equally as full and instructions equally efficient, supersede by far in numbers of Negro students today. For instance more Negro students attend Boston University than attend any others. Whether or not this leaning to the smaller schools is due to the more rigid entrance examinations of the older universities or the policy of restricting and selecting applicants to these greater schools is not generally known. One conclusion definitely arrived at, however, is the fact of the increasing high cost of education in these larger universities. It is well nigh impossible for a poor student relying on his own resources to work and pay his way through Harvard today. This is not only true of Negro students, but it applies to poor whites as well. In the past, many Negro students by sheer pluck overcame these obtained and even attained high honor in scholarship, but even then they had the moral support, if not the musical aid, of a more or less sympathetic public upon which to rely—a general public which would go out of its way to find work for the struggling black college. According to the reports of many of the Negro students here, even if they need in most cases they must do so on the side to augment their financial needs, in most cases they must do so on the side to augment their financial needs. Even in labor union the employee claims that students on the employer are unreliable employee. Very few students are employees and are therefore undesirable or are unreliable employee. Very few places are students and these places are students and the whites. Few of them backed by the employer manage to get on red cap, washers and other old jobs. If some go to the college they unload on washers and other old jobs. If they are employed they are spotted and employing made him for them by the teachers and caterers employ them with apprehensions. Head beilsham shirts and cooks play tricks on them. And even chambersmails trap them. Few are employed to work their office and under a kindly disposed superintendent, most of these are in the eighteenth or twenty who are in the college department at Harvard and in the college to work their work. This fact that the studies are too rigid and harden for poor boys and girls and especially for Negro boys and girls.

Business League Takes On New Life; Annual Meet Held Indianapolis, Ind.—(ANP)—The growing necessity for better methods in business and of conservation of gains thus far made by Negroes in commercial business were clearly felt at the 30th annual Business League meeting here last week. New vigor and interest was shown. "We got away with a bung" was the way President R. K. Moton described it. The convention, one of the largest and most vital hold in years got down to business and hard tasks in short order, presenting a program built by Secretary Holley which was full of surveys of the business discussed by experts white and black. The annebacle was business minded. Discussions of the fundamentals of commercial endeavor brought spirted debate on the floor. The delegated want to know. "We did not want to know what we are here for," said Dr. Moton. "Just deal in simple words. While one of the provinces of this organization is to inspire, we want to face the facts as they exist." "How may we meet the increasing difficulties facing us in the business For several years, business men and others have frank criticized the league as purely inspirational.

PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS RACE MORTICIAN SAMUEL HUSTON DISAGREES WITH SUMMER SCHOOL INFORMER STAND CLOSES SESSION Editor Houston Informer I have read, with considerable interest, your editorial regarding the National Negro Business League and the number of organizations that are meeting separately from the National Business League. In this editorial, you take the stand that all of these organizations should be represented in the National Negro Business League. The writer wishes, and we view. We believe that you are sincere in your statements to the prosecution of the National Negro Business League, but we personally do not believe that your proposed arrangements for the meeting of the National Negro Business League should the interest of the National Business League trades organizations of this country, and there are thousands of others whose views are represented. It is evident to see that if our views were in error, that the banks, the insurance companies, the physicians, the pharmacists, musicians, funeral directors and other organized groups, which must claim their origin from the National Business League, would be holding their meetings with the National Negro Business League. This is further strengthened by the fact that some of the most substantial leaders of the National Negro Business League members of the mass organizations that are holding their annual sessions independent of the National Business League. We at least give these gentlemen credit of manifesting enough interest in the National Business League, wherein, if they saw it would benefit the business league for their separate groups to meet with it, that they would be doing all possible to bring about such a movement instead of exerting their efforts to develop their own various organizations independent of the National Business League. We do not believe any group of various trades and professional members could meet at the same time, even with the same meetings in the city, and have the undivided attention necessary to the development of those phases of their various trades and professions as are of particular interest to them. We also note that you error and now we know of knowledge of the general organization of these various independent organizations have a large enough attendance to permit them to reduce rates. We can agree with you when you state that some of our divisions are seriously disagree with the sole purpose of creating official positions for them, but seriously disagree with you when we know of institutions, which include all, are so concerned with the national Business League. We believe it should serve as the mother body of the various organizations of our group, and only last year we proposed to Secretary A. L. H. Loeb in these various organizations be able to develop all of the strength and authority banner, holding their notices in various cities independent of any other national group, receiving all of the factional statements of the public to the development of national information of their activities. We further proposed that each of these independent national groups actually become a part of the National and the Grand Business League, giving to it financial and moral support; that instead of the National Negro Business League's self-helping meetings, it holds meetings each month and or third year; that there be worked out plans wherein each independent organization be apportioned so many delegates and these delegates be financed and authorized to speak for their respective groups and subject to their own own business. The National Business League may time that questions of serious interest to the welfare of the business and professional men of the country may arise during the period that the National Negro Business League was not meeting. In this way, there would be a consolidation of the general interest of the business and professional members, and the use of these same various vocations would be permitted to develop independently. In taking issue with you, it is done in a spirit of highest regard for you as one of the greatest and most substantial and real fighters the race has but we believe that when these facts are called to your attention, that with your wonderful mind, you will be able to see our point of view and enlarge upon our proposal, and you are in a position to further any deductions that you may make the reform to the interest of the business and professional men of this country. With our best wishes, I am. Your Secretary. R. R. REED, Executive Secretary. National Fundamental Association. Association, Chico, California.

LIBERIAN CONSUL SAYS CHARGES BY FAULKNER FALSE LIBERIAN CONSUL SAYS CHARGES BY FAULKNER FALSE Baltimore, Md.—(ANP)—In a statement issued recently to the press, Ernest Lyon, Liberian counsel general, denied the charges made by Thomas J. R. Fulkner, naturalized citizen of Liberia of American birth, that the citizens of the African republic were held in slavery. Fulkner, who is a native of North Carolina and brother of the famous Fulkner, who practically controls the leading industries of Liberia, operating the electric plant, ice plant, and other enterprises, was defeated by C. B. D. King in the last presidential election. In an interview which was given wide publicity in the weekly and daily press he charged that through the modus, operandi under the present administration the natives have been emalved, Replying to these charges, Mr. Lyons declared: “Ordinarily, no importance should be attached to these new articles referred to by other the Liberian Government or its citizens. It is too well known that governments and their administrations are never free from unjust attacks and drastic criticisms by dissatisfied and disappointed persons and Faulkner seems, from the character of his interviews, to be related to this group.” "Well-informed people will seriously do their duty, who employ patriotism in a foreign country in giving out interviews intended to cast a ally opinion in a foreign country. No worthy motive can be assigned for this country. It has no jurisdiction over Liberia political and domestic affairs because the citizenate of the country. The place of citizenship is allied to Liberia, and not America. America has no jurisdiction over Liberia than has over American political affairs and is a sovereignty and is responsible to its citizens for the conduct of its political affairs and Polkian affairs. America has no jurisdiction of his approach to the Washington State Department with his private character to consider and regulate and to impose his approach of his approach to the Washington State Department with his private character to consider and regulate and to impose his approach of his approach to other people's business of a private character.

Barley, in replying to my letter, asked the allegations made by Fulker charging the existence of slavery and the existence of at rest, therefore, any uneasiness as the result of these insidious statements, the government is appointing a commission to investigate and report upon labor conditions alleged to be in the republic, and to declare, based upon the authorization of the Liberian government, of the republic to honor to represent in this country.

Univ. of Chicago Lesson for August 25 REBUILDING THE TEMPLE PRIMARY TOPIC: Rebuilding God HUMAN TOPIC: Rebuilding God INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC: -building God’s House HOLDERS OF God’s House After becoming settled in the town surrounding Jerusalem, the people were called together for the purpose of rebuilding God’s House. The leaders in this movement were Jesus and the priests, and the view of the fact that the clearing away of the debris of the old city and temple and the creation of the new city was evoked where sacrifices might be offered at once unto God. The priest was evoked where sacrifices were offered the regular sacrifices commanded by Moses, including those of the Feast of Tabernacles (Era 7:14) 1 The Foundation of the Temple (Lord 4:38) 2 The apologies occasion and was celebrated with most impressive ceremonies 1 The priests argued (4:9) These arguments their consecration to the Lord’s service. 2 The priests with trumpets (4:10) The trumpets were used in call to the Lord’s service. 2. The Levites with cymbals (9, 10). This was according to the arc (10, 11) made by David (1 Chron. 15:162). 4. They sang together by course (11). This means that they sang to the company song. "The Lord is good," the other responded. "For His mercy forever," they prayed and slaved (v. 12, 13). Some of the older men who had seen the magnificent temple of Solomon, which had been destroyed, shortened the present formation cause of the former temple. Others were of the favor of God which had brought the Jews to the temple. They made in the new house of worship. 1. The Building of the Temple Minded (ch. 4). The Samaritans, a noble people—the offspring of the poor Jews who were left in Palestine and the foreign people who were in the land of the Jews were taken captive. The three perils which delayed the building of the temple for about four centuries, the enemy came to hinder the program of God's people in every age. 1. An unintelligible pessimism (32). Under the circumstances, a hourless beginning had been made. Many today, because things are not quite right, begin to work with a constructive board, but even binder those who have the hope of being able to work with a constructive board at work to purpose the purpose of God, the Christian church should push forward its program of evangelism. 2. Worry compromise (4:2, 3) "Let us build with you, for we seek your God." This is Satan's most common defense against the church. The church should not seek the world's patronage in building churches and carrying on his work in Jerusalem. "We have nothing to do with us to build a house unto our God." (4:2, 4) When refused a part in the work intimidation and political scheming were used by the enemies to defeat the church, the Temple was destroyed. 11.

What is the question J. R. Snow. Atlantic City, N. J. —(ANP)—The Rev. Clarence L. Alken, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church, his officers and members, put on an extensive program of worship required to place Mrs. Rachel Chaney, one of the oldest members of the Shiloh Church in the Colored Old Poleks' district, to attend a city birr for almost half a TEXAS PRODUCT SEEKS NBC POST AT COMING MEET New Orleans, La.—(ANP). The "far South" is clamoring for distinct recognition in the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated, which will meet at Norfolk, Va., September 4-9. With Louisiana and Texas taking the lead, Dr. E. W. White of New Orleans, is being vigorously pushed for the presidency of the national convention. Dr. J. E. Woods, Danville, Ky., admitted to be an able and outstanding man, that the present case of the action of the action. He defeated the late E. P. Jones of Evanston, Ill., at Fort Worth, Texas, in a hot contest still remembered through the elapsed half dozen years. According to Dr. George W. Lucas, M. D., one of the most prominent of Southern Baptists laymen, Dr. Woods has not lived up to his opportunity for service, and is a disappointment in comparison with the leaders of other Christian nations. Claiming that in both the Baptist conventions there has developed a younger, aggressive, and progressive element, "who feel that the Baptists, outnumbering all other denominations, should utilize more efficiently their strength for the advancement of their denomination in particular, and the race in general," the laymen say it is imperative that a man who can meet these requirements be selected at Norfolk this year. It is pointed out that the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated, will forward when it formed a compact with the Lott Cary Convention, a power comprising mainly the East, and New England States. The compact here comprises mainly the East, and the theoretical one but advance thinking leaders conceive that the National Convention of Dr. White, can institute a degree of Dr. White, can institute a foreign mission, can foreign the foreign Convention can be pushed with the assistance of the National Baptist Convention that all phases of the other work, carried out by the baptists with the assistance of the Lott Cary Convention. This general success, largely upon its success, largely upon leaders of both conventions who are possessed of unselfish aims and great vision committed to the practical working of the plan, and that he already has committed to the conmunication of the desired officials should be eliminated by the plan, and that he is certain that sentiment in view of the decreased overexpenses the arrangement will make. The Louisiana Foreign Mission Baptist State Convention, at its recent session at Hammond, unanimously adopted a resolution nominating Dr. White as a candidate for the presidency of the national convention, describing him as, "one of the unassuming men of our defoliation, who says little but does much. His judgment is sane; his knowledge of the doctrine and policy of the church broadens his education fit; his vision comprehensively and his organizing ability without question. His a Christian gentleman and a Christian statesman, who would fill the office of president of our convention with dignity and credit." The resolution deplored the fact, "that our great National Baptist Convention is not doing its best to keep pace with the age, and meet the competition in denominational work of America." Coming to Louisiana from Texas, where he served as moderator of the Mt. Zion Baptist Association, and as president of the Texas Foreign Mission Convention, Dr. White came to Louisiana and quickly established a reputation as a constructive leader in his church and as an outstanding public man in matters civic and educational. HARLEM WANTS JOHNSON NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS New York City.—(ANP)—An indignation meeting was held in Harlem Tuesday night, protesting the naming of any candidate for congress other than Edward A. Johnson, who was defeated for that office in the last election. Enthusiasm was not at a high pitch despite the good cause for which the meeting was held. Harlem is still resting unைssly over the decision to "Jim-crow" the district and the voters are awaiting the outcome of the suit instituted by Mrs. E. Hortense Warner against Robert S. Conklin, the white executive leader of the district. DR. RUPERT O. ROETT PHYSICIAN and SURGEON 402 Odd Fellows Temple Phone: Office P. 2217, Res.

He outlined the program of advancement which is being followed and declared that due very largely to the improvement of present institutions and the addition of other schools, the per cent of crime among Negroes had decreased from 68 per cent to 38 per cent and that the crime percentage was 4.8 per cent below their percentage of population in the state of North Carolina. Mr. Newwold pointed out that strenuous efforts were being made to make him for Newwold in North Carolina the best in the country and that the highest trained teachers were being attracted to the school. His observations also led to the opinion that Newwold were advancing character building much faster than the whites. Re. Phone Fax. 2751 Office Phone Fax. 6958 F. F. STONE, M. D.

Officials of the athletic councils of both institutions have recently agreed to the transfer. Graduates and former students of both Wilberforce and Tuskegee, living in the North and Midwest, have been instrumental in having the game brought to the northern district. In selecting Soldiers Field, with a seating capacity of 125,000 people, it is thought that a master stroke has been made as the place offers every comfort and convenience and possesses ideal arrangements for both players and spectators. The game will be one of the most colorful ever staged in the Midwest and will draw one of the largest crowds. Both institutions have a tremendous following and fans from all sections will be on hand to see the Green Wave tackle Tuskegee, one of Dixie's greatest football teams. The news that these two teams have won the championship believed with genuine interest. The railroad companies have advised the department of their desire to cooperate. Earnest of the permanence of the dairy industry in Texas is seen in the fact that within recent months more breakfast plants have been built in dairy, milk and cheese plants.

WALKER'S WELCOME AND SOFTENED BY WALKER'S ARS THE STAND TEXAS RESEARCH BUREAU ISSUES IMPORTANT DATA Prairie View, Texas—The Bureau of Research of Prairie View State College, under the direction of Dean Robert B. Hunt, conducted some rather interesting data on the summer schools conducted in Negro colleges in the state. The material in the form of a report on the summer schools in Negro colleges in the state appears in the report on Education" to appear during the autumn quarter. The report first brings out the great educational significance of the summer schools in Negro colleges in Texas in 1923 to 36,319 students representing an aggregation in all courses. Texas stood second to Florida in the number of states in the country with 40,103 students in courses in the United States in 1928. Of the total number of teachers enrolled in New York in 1928, 29 percent were in summer education, while of the total number in Texas 47,004 took courses in education. Of the 29 summer schools conducted in Texas in 1928 ten or a little more schools, twenty-five hundred teachers or nearly one-tenth of the total number of Negro colleges. During the present summer (1929) with four institutions enrolled in seven colleges, if we conservatively estimate the enrollment of the colleges, the figures for the present summer school enrollment may be set down as a percentage of the total Negro colleges. Texas ranks first as to enrollment of summer school students in Texas, and the number is relatively small. Another interesting fact, which the when she was brought into court her condition was so serious and the spectacle so revolting that the judge ordered her to be medically-matched. One of the police officials declared, "Take that woman away, and take her to the jail," and one of the attendant expresses the opinion that "she is in need here in twenty-seven years." Efforts were made when the charge was brought to blame one of the escorts of the woman, who was arrested at the same time, and another, the lady her pet, playfully, but that the lady had been charged.

It is the big Negroes around here will go into a white store before they will a Negro store. Negroes have failed who have had the same kind of goods in their stores as the white man carried because the enslored people in their communities preferred to do business with the other fellow, preferred to strengthen the white man rather than give opportunity to their own. "Nine Segro young men graduated recently from Columbia University in accounting. We tried to get them jobs with the shipping board but could not because of lack of appropriations. He's just about to get them to work and I'm very well for them. W. E. B. D. B. B. A. A. A. C. C. P., were these and so on as to representative from the Urban Library. Thes praised these young men for utilizing a new path. I said, not a man of you there will give these young men a chance because all of you indicate more in white men than in illiterate. Two spent to Tunkegee, two to another school in the South. None get employment among this group who get them and could have given them a chance to assert and demonstrate their abilities as public accountants. They agree the Negro business men of every crime under the calendars. There is no one who can be discontentful. The same charge can be made against the white business men, but you continue to go to them. You do not come and damn out the whites who discontinue against you. But you do not come your own and you do not go to another but damn all. How to ungrain the Segro from the white man in favour of his own not along the color line alone but along the line of financing places for the same time and the same time who come from our schools and colleges. That's the task we have to find." Bray Wilmore Weir (Get; Must:—Roddy "We lay where we are forced to hug. We lay from the man who has the capacity to care for us, and we are able to tell us at a reasonable price," and Bert Answersing Mr. Hlouen. "Then we lay where we are continually treated.

We have no access to the capital necessary to buy the stores of greater capital and too the man from whom we are to continue to buy from the other few until we establish trade associations." (Give Trade To Others) The Negro does not think about capital when he goes to buy, reported E. B. Blumson, general counsel of the Bine Walker Co., "The Negro thrills very little about courtesy when he goes to buy. Of course, there are assumptions, but the fact is the Negro is still a victim of slavery and slave ideas. He meets and must have a new and real demonstration. We are going to be the American life. Somebody will something about service, quality of goods, and all that.

(However the cheapness of the product, the outcomes of the goods in many instances, and the high price of the goods) He was those to pack with the Negroes. That is the situation we are facing and there is no need to energy in. It is not important to be individual Negro business man.

"We're building business of $100,000 per year and operating two stores. We can only catch loyalty in the limit we must use for our business interests. It means that a man can do it regardless of whether one man is black or white, or whether one man can think the chain systems have introduced a new method of distribution.

Clemens, a Detroit suburb, were surprised and insulted by two large signs which were posted on a tree at the intersection of Slenaat Lake Shore Drive going in a northwestern direction, Huron along Lake St. Clair. The signs could be seen and read 200 feet away and on the main thoroughfare, the two large sections, the homes being not up to the average home inhabited by colored citizens of M. Clemens and Clemens Port Huron. Both signs were on the right hand side of the two large sections, the homes being not up to the average home inhabited by colored citizens of M. Clemens and Clemens Port Huron. Both signs reading: "Colored Folks Keep Our Home," "Private Road—Colored Villages," and "Colored Villages situated in Macomb County of which M. Clemens is county seat." The residents were brought to the attention of Rev. C. E. Chapman of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church just before the reg. session here Sunday, and he immediately went to investigate. He took several hours after having been informed of their being there. He was greatly surprised to know that such were persecuted. Rev. Chapman sought an interview with Percy Moore, sheriff of Macomb County, that same afternoon and was successful in getting him. In the interview he inquired of Sheriff Moore if it were the policy of his office to permit knowingly such discriminations within the confines of Macomb County. He said: "This is my first knowledge of the affair. I am for law observance, and I want everybody to know there shall not be any discrimination against the colored citizens so long as I am sheriff of Ca-comb County. If there be those who try to be a law unto themselves and take the law into their hands, when brought to my attention, the law shall be supreme. I thank you, Rev. Chapman, for bringing this matter to my attention. I shall go out there, personally, and see that no such signs appear." The sheriff kept his word as the signs were not there Monday. The white people of the neighborhood were very reticent when questioned by Rev. Chapman as to who owned the property, when the signs were placed there by whom, and the particular property from which "Colored Foks" should "Keep Out." WILL BABIES DIE NEEDLESSLY? WILL BABIES DIE NEEDLESSLY? BY ALGERNON R. JACKSON, M. D. (For The Associated Negra Press) In Baltimore Health News, Dr. Algeron warns that children should lose any babies. Should we lose any babies? At this season our minds turn to the needless have cause, by diphtheria as this is a preventable disease. The reason we should have diphtheria as this is against diphtheria from his mother. This maternal resistance continues for years. As a result, the child will have only such resistance as he is able to develop himself. The only real means of real means. Severity per cent of all the preconceived occur in the preconceived group. All children who have reached the age of six months should be given the amount of this substance in injected into the child's arm on three different occasions—one week apart. Experienced children will be protected by such treatment and the protection will be maintained in five will need another series of treatment before he receives comeback treatment. In the Schick test, is given to determine whether the child has been protected by the administration, and if so, facted that its administration is scarcely felt by the child. Toxin-antibiotics are more especially to those between 10 and all children under ten years of age, and more especially to the junior members of the household. While the need for immediate action in the case of diphtheria is apprehended against which young children should be protected. They should be vaccinated. When exposed to measles we recommend that babies under three years of age be immunized until they are prepared for this purpose. As in diphtheria most of the double face forms are not immunized, usually under three years of age. As there is no means of establishing life long protection against measles, it is recommended that modified or entirely prevented if serum is given after exposure to the virus and child against diseases as smallpox and diphtheria for which we have established very definite control measures, we recommend that children in twenty years, cases of diphtheria and smallpox will have become medically need not have to capitalize on color. If a Negro buyer can save money by hiring a Negro, he should save money if he cannot, we should not expect him. If we think that a Negro going to see a store because we are Negro merchants, we are weaklings. We have placed emphasis on loyalty and not enough on service. Courteous treatment, promptness in the fair and just prices, honesty in representation, and weights, charisma, tenacity, and ability to cooperate with twoemployer and employee coupled with ambition, vision, ability to achieve and enthusiasm will bring success.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1929 England, London.—(Special Correspondence)—"If I were still a young man, with my way to make in the world, I should unhappily go out to confront it, but I do by the Dr. R. T. Raylor, vice principal of Tastekeger Institute, Alabama, the great Negro educational centre founded by Booker Washington. He has just arrived in London after a visit to the United States, and received a special invitation from the president of Liberia, to give the Negro republic the benefit of his experience and advice concerning the foundation of a library for the Negro people. $75,000 was recently left by the late Mie Olivia Phipla-Stokes of the well-known American family whose members have supported so many schemes for Negro progr "The international development of the proceeding with Taylor, the largest appropriations for schools than ever before, and the largest appropriations for teachers who are the educational advisor of the government, whose tragic death just occurred, has completed confidence-building these schemes. Building of excellent roads, are now positioned to be deeply explained to how that body proceeded to hostility of the people of the hinterland, to the activities of the Firestone interest who have already developed about 55,000 of the million acres assigned to the Liberian people to plant rubber and the Liberian people to plant rubber and the agricultural development in other directions. "There is great enthusiasm for the idea of a Liberian Tuskegee among the community, the Americo-Liberians, the natives, and the Europeans. I was asked to preliminary choice of a site at Kakata, situated on the fine motor road it is being driven through the country from Monovonia, the capital. It is located in the centre of a thickly populated district, while it is also at a spot where the territory of three towns meet. It is on rolling ground, is well watered and the soil is good and will do excellently for agriculture. I have little doubt that the scheme will be approved by the ad- Dr. Taylor also paid a visit to the Gold Coast, where he was entertained by Sir Ransford Slater, the British governor. He is very much impressed with the progress being made at the Prince of Wales' Government College, at Achimota. "Principal Fraser and his staff have gained the complete confidence of both the Africans and the Europeans," he said. "The period of suspicion has been outlived and most of this is due to the influence of the late Dr. J. E. K. Aggrey, whose memory is revered throughout the community from the governor to the smallest children. I was very much impressed too by the favorable attitude on the part of the Africans to the British administration, as well as the sympathetic attitude of the officials towards the Africans. I found there no word of bitterness or hostility. The Africans, too, all seem eager to learn, and the fact that they can own their own land gives them a self-respect which is most important." An architect by profession, Dr. R. R. Taylor has been asked to draw up the plans for the Liberia college buildings when he gets back to the United States, if his recommendations are accepted. WILDCATS BEGIN TRAINING GRIND SEPTEMBER 2ND Marshall, Texas. The Wiley Wildcats will hold their initial practice of the 1229 season on Monday, September 2, according to the plans of Coach Fred Long, who is on the grounds now getting equipment ready and overseeing improvements. The playing field will be available for all the cars started their practice on the first Monday in September, and ended the season being a claimant for national championship. It is possible that the first Monday in September is a lucky day to start a football season, at least Long thinks so, therefore he is starting again on that date. All new corners to the Wildecat camp are expected to be five days of practice, and provisions have been made to care for them until the opening of school-a week later. Lambering, forward passing and general light work will make up the first ten days program in order to toughen the boys for the hard campaign ahead. Coach Long has been doing a great deal of scouting in this neck of the woods. The playing field is a good place for them, him, a large crowd of new material will be on hand to take the piece of the eight-variety men of last year's championship team that will be missing. The local mentor and his assistants will have a tough job on their hands, getting a green team in advance. September 27, when the season will be in place with the Fox Jarvis College eleven here at the Central East, Texas Fair. The biggest problem facing the Long brothers is the development of a punter to succeed Harding, last year, to the team's game. It is not expected that any of their year's stock will be able to buy the team's force and Kansas City Monarch flash, as he has few equals anywhere in the South, but who knows what will happen if the team not meet Harry Long, the latest addition to the Wild Cat coach staff, will arrive in Marshall September 1 ready to play.

HOW TO SELECT STALK FOR NATIONAL COTTON SHOW NEGRO BUSINESS NEEDS STUDY. SAYS JOHNSON Indianapolis, I d. d. (ANP) "Negro business is passing through the same long march as white American enterprises has undergone," said Chaas S. Johnson, director of the department of foreign affairs at the National Negro Business League, here last week. "It is to time it if there can be stability and security in the separate economy of Negro business as such." Mr. Johnson declared, "We expect to become a considerable factor in providing employment for Negroes without violating the old but frequently active principle that one cannot hold itself by one's own petard?" The largest Negro enterprises today are insurance companies with few exceptions grew out of burial and mutual insurance hoofd as a result of exclusion of larger or discriminatory premium charges of companies operated by The banks, which despite a number of failures, rank close to the inception of the most important their strongest arguments for existence, the fact that Negro individuals cannot credit or credit on the same terms as others. Moreover, where racial segregation succeeds most easily, the largest numbers of successful Negro enterprises where racial discrimination is generated. On the other hand, the amount of wages expended by Negroes is contained in terms of over five million workers and wage earners who have a known disposition to spend. What enterprises can and what enterprises cannot read more information than knowing what businesses are still alive, would be more important than knowing mortality of those which are gone. It would have been a valuable part of the successful businesses and thus would have been League if it could have charted the mortality of the unsuccessful businesses and thus would have been League if it "Arap, it appears that we are ignoring the importance of concentration thoroughly developed small and even larger areas to under capitalise the difficult and more precise observable how the family field has been given polite respectability and prestige, intelligent development, and prestige, intelligent development than is required to establish a fourth area of similar small fields.

Actual judging will be done by competent authorities from each县. According to the score-card, a perfect plant would secure 100 points total score. Since productivity of the plant is important, a single importance, production, as measured by the amount of seed cotton on the plant, is given a possible 25 points. Thus heavy fruiting stalks produce a high rating under production. A possible 25 points has been allotted to lint. Percentage of lint in seed cotton, length, character and uniformity will be considered, all of which will that be considered in studying the lint. The plant, as a whole, has given a possible 20 points. Symmetry of form, amount of wood in proportion to the length of the plant, maturity, are considered in studying the plant unit.

PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS 616 Prairie Ave. Quick Delivery Services NEGRO CONVICTED OF RAPE FRAMED; LAWYERS QUIT Centerville, Tenn. —(ANP)—Charging that Turly Wheat, who was sent to serve ten years for assaulting a 55-year-old white woman, had been a 65-year-old woman, W. L. Pinkerton, counsel for the defendant, declared that he would file motion for a new trial immediately. Wright was brought here Monday night guarded by 100 national guardsmen by him by Zora Johnson Lymn, the alleged white victim of the assault. She testified that Wight had entered her home near midnight and assaulted her while he held her guarded arm. She was charged and a gutters corrobed the charges. Feeling was running high and the testimony of the women served to intensify it. The national guardsmen whose presence prevented mob violence. This feeling subsided Thursday when he was announced that Robert Brown and his aiding the state in prosecuting Wright had resigned, refusing to prosecute the man he was accused of beating, that he was being framed. The state prosecutor, however, continued the case and the defense attorneys presided over the trial. The men, who had been with the granddaughters of the victim, testified that the women were with them at a dance and did not get into the courtroom, sometime after the attack was supposed to have taken place. With this testimony twice a sobbing turn, the tie of the white-sided completely when Mrs. Lynn again called to the court. Her testimony relative to the presence of her granddaughters had been false. Again the grandmother was called to the court. In fact, so completely did the ill feeling toward Wright presided over the guilty by the jury and his sentence set at ten years imprisonment. He underwent a Nashville immediately under guard. In setting forth grounds for demanding a new trial, Attorney Pinkerton pointed out that the conviction had been obtained on perjured testimony, the result of a frame-up, insufficient evidence, and the prejudice and excitement prevailing against the defendant in Centerville, at the time of the trial. Pinkerton's opinion is voiced too by Attorneys Brown and Bates who resigned from the prosecution. Brown declared that it was "obvious that the Negro has been framed" and Bates stated that he believed "somebody else" was behind the whole case. Centerville was mystified over the outcome and happenings in the trial, including the ten-year sentence, which is considered rather peculiar in the face of the charge that Wright had assaulted a white woman. The judge declared that the sentence was legal and that he would hear the motion for a new trial.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1929 TRYING TO TAKE TERRELL'S THUNDER! While it is not the intention of the Informer to prolong or agitate the Houston Negro Hospital question with our journalistic contemporary, the Houston Gargoyle, the local weekly magazine, pseudo-magazine or factious publication, are we very anxious that the record be kept straight regarding this local race (?) institution. In its issue of August 11, 1929, discussing the Houston Negro Hospital and The Informer's attitude towards the institution, the Gargoyle sought to present a brief for Dr. J. W. Slaughter, a professor of the advisory committee and before passing sentence upon The Informer and its editor and consigning both to perdition, oblivion or some other region, this Nordic publication gave the Rice professor all the credit for the establishment of this colored hospital. While The Informer believes firmly in the doctrine of giving every man his just deserts and giving praise where praise is due and criticism where same is warranted and justifiable, this paper is opposed unalterably and unequivocally to a claim that the Rice professor "inspired" and "dicted" (as was done undoubtedly in the Gargoyle's article, captioned "Under the X-Ray," which appeared in one of its recent issues) which will give credit to men which they do not deserve in such large measure. Notwithstanding the fact that we are well cognizant of Dr. J. W. Slaughter's efforts and activities in connection with the Houston Negro Hospital, the Informer desires to ask both "Gargy" and "Roll," deposed superintendent of this institution, was chiefly responsible for the frustration of this health center? As superintendent or financial secretary of the defunct or by Rev. E. Jeremiah at 1618 Andrews Street, did not Prof. Terabandoned Union Hospital, formerly located in the building erectl influence several leading white citizens in a hospital movement for colored people? Even before his connection with the Union Hospital, is it not that Prof. Terrabandoned and didited the financial banking and mortgaging center of the leading white philanthropists of Houston in Houston College, and was not the donor of the building at the Houston Negro Hospital among that number? Did the local white philanthropist manifest more than passing interest in the old Union Hospital, and did he not conduct a survey and investigate the physical condition of the plant to ascertain if it were really worth any considerable financial investment and support? When his surveyors and investigators reported to this public-spirited white citizen that the Andrews Street plant was totally inadequate for hospital purposes, did not this same white philanthropist assure Prof. Terrabandon that he would donate a neat sum for the hospital purposes. The negro hospital site and resultant building, provided on which to erect and operate the institution? Were not strenuous efforts made, with Prof. Terrabandon and one of the city commissioners taking the initiative in the matter, to get the city council to donate or cede a part of the old Golf Park (now location of municipal garage and stables) for this colored building, and did not the proposition fail because of the opposition of certain moneyed whites-who owned property contiguous to this land which even at that time belonged to the municipality? If Dr. Slaughter had any hand or part in these early efforts for the city commissioners to build the resultant building, did the eminent savant work "under cover" or incognito? Did the Rice Institute tutor have any connections with the old Union Hospital, which belonged to the Negroes of Houston and Harris County; and does his press agent know that practically all of the surgical equipment of the old colored hospital was transferred and presented to the present elemsynary institution in the Third War? The Houston Negro Hospital was dedicated June 19, 1926, but it did not open for business until May 15, 1927. What was Dr. Slaughter doing during these elemen (11) months to get gas, water and sewerage in the Houston Negro Hospital? When the Houston Gas and Fuel Company refused to lay gas mains from across the "Sap" (San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad) tracks to the hospital, fully 10 or 12 blocks, who was it that got a certain city official, after repeated efforts to get gas patrons for the proposed line, to make the heavy deposit with the local gas company to get gas installed in the Houston Negro Hospital? Did Dr. Slaughter perform this signal service, or was Prof. Terrell the man who put over the job? After the deposit was made with the local gas company for the extension of the gas mains to the new hospital, who was it that obtained gas patrons along the line, and thus made it possible for the city official, who made the original deposit, to get his money back? Who trumped up and down Elgin Avenue, frqm Broadway (called Bastrop now) to Ennis Street, trying to induce and influence the colored property owners to subscribe for gas service, and thus did the quick installation of artificial gas in the Houston Negro Hospital. Did the brilliant pedagogue of Nordic Alabama lineage serve in this role, or was the bronze superintendent of Afro-Texas extraction the man who toiled, labored, perspired (really sweated) and worried in this capacity? If Dr. Slaughter was the "whole cheese" in making possible the Houston Negro Hospital, why did the donor insist upon Prof. Terrell serving as the first superintendent of the hospital? Did Dr. Slaughter have a hand in the selection of the first colored board of directors of this institution, and did he employ the present superintendent, who served then as head of nurses? Isn't it true that Prof. Terrell virtually picked the Nogro board, and isn't it also a fact that the race superintendent made possible the employment of Mrs. M. H. Bright, who at that time superintendent of nurses at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College? Furthermore, if Dr. Slaughter was or is such a potent factor with, for and in the Houston Nogro Hospital, why did he permit the institution to remain idle for nearly one year after its dedication? If the distinguished educator is such a hospital expert and authority, why didn't he remain in an official capacity with the Jefferson Davis County-City Hospital? Why was some one else placed at its head while the Rice Institute savant was touring the orient on a six-month cruise? Is it true that Dr. Slaughter only became interested in the colored hospital with the view of "getting even" with the white physicians who objected to and rebelled against his official connection with Jefferson Davis Hospital? Did the doctor confide to some of the colored physicians and laymen that he was going to show these white doctors a few things about operating a hospital, and is it likewise true that he drafted the original constitution and by-laws of the Houston Nogro hospital in such an air-tight manner as to keep white doctors out of the race institution? Is it true that the Gargoyle's "hospital inspiration" felt that the white doctors had mistreated him in the Jefferson Davis Hospital situation; that he had been taken advantage of, maligned, misrepresented and mistreated, and that he needed some hospitalization. What is the best way to explain what a good man they had rebuked and ousted from official functions in connection with this charity hospital? Knowing that Prof. Terrell was not a hospital expert, and his only efforts could be along lines to obtain financial assistance and moral backing for the Houston Negro Hospital, why did Dr. Slaughter ever permit the race man to be selected for this important position? Why did he turn against Prof. Terrell and eventually demand his resignation? Who got Prof. Terrell "in Dutch" with Dr. Slaughter, and by what means was it accomplished? If the original appointment of Prof. Terrell, as chief executive officer of this institution, was merely a gesture to reward him for faithful and meritorious service, why turn against him so soon and suddenly? What possessed or prompted Prof. Slaughter and his white advisory committee to suggest or recommend to the 1928 colored Bedford Hotel, Bright supersede or supplant Prof. Terrell as superintendent? Maybe the doctor's "inspired" sheet can inform us why this belated effort to take Terrell's thunder, and maybe both "Gargy" and the Rice Institute schoolmaster can enlighten us relative to some of the above interrogations? In the meantime, the present Negro board should either demand Mrs. Bright's resignation as superintendent of the Houston Negro Hospital, or that the good man they had rebuked and ousted from official functions in connection with this charity hospital? Public confidence in Mrs. Bright's management and Dr. Slaughter's supervisory, advisory and administrative attitude has been shaken and wellnigh destroyed; and, since the learned savant and "contact man" is worth infinitely more to the hospital than the present superintendent, we are willing to endure the lesser of the twin evils. U. B. F. SECRETARY'S SHORTAGE At the recent grand session of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, held at Beaumont during July, it was reported that Prof. C. H. McGruder of Houston, grand secretary of this racial fraternity, was short in his accounts to the treasurer. It seems that this alleged shortage was "discovered" and reported by the grand auditors of the Texas order, and, in view of their reported findings, the grand master of the Texas jurisdiction recommended that the grand secretary would not be reelected until his books could be audited by an expert bank account, and the true status of the financial condition of the secretarial office would be determined. In pursuance with this recommendation an independent audit was ordered of the grand secretary's books, the grand lodge employing a white certified public accountant of Beaumont to make the audit and disclose his findings. At the time of the reported shortage, Prof. McGruder insisted that the grand lodge auditors failed to take into consideration certain items paid out by the grand treasurer, which these auditors charged against the grand secretary, making his account appear short about $7,000. Reports flew thick and fast over Texas that the grand secretary was short, some even claiming that he had misappropriated over $20,000 of the grand lodge's money; and other accounts and groundless rumors at which our people are quite adept. In line with other progressive orders in the state, the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten should employ an expert accountant to audit their books annually, and thus ensure that all of the financial transactions with all the elements of devilry, decay and disintegration. OPINIONS Cimbee's Ramblings CROSSING THE COLOR LINE A By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Several months ago, a Negro ecclesiastian, who knows no more about statistics than a calf about calculus, meaningly asserted that five thousand Negroes are annually passing over the racial divide into the white race. This ecclesiastical dignitary doubtless learned in school that the cypher in arithmetic has no inherent value. The difference between five hundred, five thousand, and fifty thousand stated in arithmetical figures, is only a matter of cyphers. Either of these numbers would have served as well as the other to express the difference in arithmetical data with which he was dealing. The process of race transition is so secretive that there is no possible way of determining or approximating the number of transitions. We know, however, that the number must be exceedingly small. The last census report indicates that the number of blood, including every observable degree of race blending. The proportion of these who were close enough to the border line to pass over without notice would probably not exceed one hundred thousand. According to our wild mathematicalian, fully educated students during the intermingling decade. In the next ten years, they all will have disappeared. for the other side, not only do not prepare the way for others, but must burn to besame the bridges behind them. The Afro-American, with all the blood of the white race flowing in his vein, with every degree of admixture short of negligibility, must continue to exist as a distinct group, without any hope of escape through the furry and clandestine process. I notice that many of our newspapers and publicists need to take keen interest in the exaggerated number of transmitters. I fail utterly to see the basis of delight. The greater the number that encapses to the other side, the more distinctified will the remaining group become, and the more definite the group will become. Mr. Erick Doughlas would say, "the dust will fly; the earth will remain."

It would be a bare waste of while to notice such statistical absurdities except for the easy gullibility of the public. Irresponsible rumor starts as easily and spreads as readily as in the whole animal creation with the report that the sky is falling. The absurdly irresponsible word passes from mouth to ear and from ear to mouth, but at no point penetrates to the brain. I have seen this irresponsible statement repeated in a dozen Negro newspapers, nationally known publicist, whose word carries wide influence and weight, in a recent contribution to the New York Word, quotes these figures as being approved by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Figures of arithmetic are often used in the form of figures of rhetoric. In order to reach some intelligent basis of judgment on this problem, let me challenge the readers of this article to take pen and paper in hand and count the number of cases which have come under his attention during the past year. However, there will be no need of pencil and paper. The naked fingers, the first textbook in arithmetic, will suffice for this calculation. In no case will all of the fingers be needed to tally the count. Let my gentle readers then foot up the page and read the text, the past ten years. The result will be substantially the same. As a statesman, if I believed in the efficacy of amalgamation or of self-effacement by stealth, I would be very beastly and cautious about proclamation. The Negro exhibits about these things, the greater becomes the determination of the white race to frustrate them. If convinced that five thousand and Negroes are crossing annually into the white race, that race will weave a finer burble than the blacks. The best way for the Negro to defeat amalgamation is to extol it. I marvel at the atallowness of the Negro publicists who parade with applause every instance on racial intermarriage. Every such applause the transmission they approve, if they become too jubilant, laws will be passed making it impossible. The noise of the hunter frightens away his privy; the stilker he keeps the bigger his bag. The more ardently the Negro will be applauding if it there will be; the less noise he makes, the more of it there will be.

(Continued From Page One) —o during their first grand session at Dallas, the Missouri delegation composed of men and women present in the educational, religious civic, commercial and political arena. I will go one step farther, and ask the editors under whose eyes this article may fall to make it like calculations. A well informed editor knows about what is going on in his community, and knows about such transitions during the last year in New York; let Rethodes speak for Philadelphia; Vann for Pittsburgh; Murphy for Baltimore; Young for Norfolk; Abbott for Chicago; Adams for Montgomery, and John Mitchell for Richmond. In this way, I will be able to make a sensible basis for calculation. I am willing to hypothese my reputation for a nane appraisement of statistical values upon the prediction that such observations would reveal that five hundred rather than five thousand would over state the number of art historical transients across the color line.

It is a dangerous procedure to deal with statistics as an instrument of propaganda which always induces in hyperboles and exaggerated assertion. I have no doubt that the good bishop should have been accepted as accepted assertion on racial transitions had in mind to frighten the white people concerning the indirect results of race prejudice. Maybe he will accomplish his purpose albeit it be necessary to stray from the path of the ample truth. But I am sure that the good bishop failed to consider the need to stray from the path and future of the Negro race. 1 some of the Missouri staff officers 2 some of the Missouri staff officers 3 William H.

Let us now suppose that five thousand "passable" Negroes annually leave the race inquest of superior advantages on the other side. In a few years, the number of people would be exhausted. For no one is allowed on the other side unless he completely hides all inks of skin and kinks of hair which formerly bound him to his mother's race. This would leave him in a very precarious secondary race problem in no sense be allieded by the transaction.
