5 PRICE CENTS VOL XI BY C. F. HICHARDSON THAT BAUMEUT SLAYING THE CEMETERY SITUATION TIGHTER DRY LAWS URGED PIONER BUSINESS LEADER The newspaper report of the fatal shooting of a Negro prisoner by a deputy contountable at Baumest, a few days ago, is another concrete example of too much on men who are too accustomed to contabulary departments in contabulary towns. In terms that the slain black and the peace (?) officer had had a fractured previous relationship with the fighter over the contables, resulting in the arrest of the colony and assault to murder. Under the guise of taking the colony into the city police station for finger staining, this deputy walked behind the police station fired four shots into his body, death being instantaneous. The officer, stated that the Negro prisoner shot him, as if an officer has a legal right to shoot a man because he tries This Negro was not a convict trying to escape from some persecution, but not down like a mad dog and, unless we miss our guards, we could not escape. The Jefferson County peace officer is a closed incident. But it should not be a closed incident, and we jointly justified in abducting a diarrheal and defenseless prisoner, even if the prisoner is not. If this Negro had been making an attack upon the officer and the constable had considered his life to be protected himself from such attack; but to shoot and kill a man because he was a constable, and to protect himself, is a crime under the criminal statutes of this state. This constable is esteemed too lightly in the South, but this condition will obtain as long as we have a white citizen, and this will be for white citizens and another for colored people. The movement which is being fostered here by a 'group of colored men' is the theory proposition of a certain white promoter, is one of the reasons why we should get very 'in under such leadership. Instead of devoting their time and talent to the pulpit and in leading the congregation, these black ministers have subsided themselves to greed, graft and mammoth. They are trying to serve God and mammon. There are certain municipal ordinances governing the establishment of a church, city, yet such laws are not retroactive. This comment is occasioned by the fact that they have become unduly interested in the local cemetery situation and are asked to permit or permit at the present Negro cemetery located in Houston, leading one to conclude that there is an ultrior motive behind this movement, since they have been unusually active in punishing the congregation inside the city limits, which was established during 1929. From our angle, these ministers promote and attend to church affairs, for if they do not do any better in the city, they will not attend to their churches, the promoter of this new Negro cemetery will discover their pews before swain. In its first report to the chief executive of the nation, President Hoover enforced commitment has asked for a more rigid enforcement of the law for a more rigid enforcement of the law. Holding that there are many weak spots in the enforcement and prosecution machinery, the commission and the nation have a valuable assistance in this respect. The commission commensalizes of this special body. The four chief difficulties encountered in the enforcement of the dry law are as follows: Division of enforcement between the federal and state departments. Disordered condition of federal legislation involved in the enforcement. Possibilities of defeating padlock injunctions by means of concealing factories and sale of illicit liquor. Concection of petty prosecutions in the state to make a sale discussion of accumulated cases under circumstances impinging the law. Discussion and injuring respect for those crimes. As long as there is widespread disrespect for any law, whether national, state or municipal, its observance and enforcement will be exceedingly difficult; and it has become an American mania, if in reality not a sport, to fear at and disrespect certain constitutional amendments, federal and state statutes. Americans need to be taught respect for all laws, whether the laws are to the liking or dislike of certain citizens and sections; and the conductor of this column disagrees with the president of Columbia University who was quoted as saying recently that disrespect for one law does not breed disrespect for other laws.

The contract is announced in the New York World. When the plan first became known, the N. A. A. C. P. on October 31, 1928, wrote to Attorney General William Dewitt that it termed it a "discriminatory practice" in singling out Negro convicts and condensing the system of convict leasing or boarding. The association also wrote to Senator Arthur Capper of Virginia to board, enlisting his interest.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1930 ed the history of movements for the emancipation of the Negro in America from pre-Revolutionary times. The N. A. A. C. P., he said, was part of this long development and in its 80 years had profoundly altered the tone of race relations in this country and throughout the world. "Twelve million Negroes are organized to contend for emancipation from discrimination in America," said Dr. DuBois, "China has abolished extraditoriality in Judicial procedure. India has declared for independence from Great Britain. Ethiopia has entered a League of Nations and sent a minister to England. All these movements are disconnected, but significant of a world movement toward freedom for colored races." Blohm, Francis J., McConnell of the M. E. Church, and president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, urged tolerance and understanding between members of various races, saying the problem was not racial but human. He urged Negro leadership for Negroes, as leadership depended not upon race but upon the training and background of the individual leader. Bishop McConnell stated his belief that more Negro bishops should be appointed in the church. One new $500 life membership in the N. A. A. C. P. was taken out at the mass meeting by "a friend" and $100 paid as a first annual payment on a life membership by Dr. Edward S. Cunningham of Brooklyn. The total sum raised by the meeting in cash and pledges was $767.31. Dr. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James Church, delivered the invocation and Dr. James W. Roddallon of St. Marks, the benediction. Negro In Dixie abolished La Guarda of New York. On December 14, the N. A. A. C. P. wired Superintendent Bates restating its plan and a cover letter to the N.

Armed with this description officers canned the city making several arrests but the police Tyrannical Edict Forbids Blacks To Handle Sea Food City Hall Functionary Serves In Despotic Role—Backs Up Order With Gun Play—White Fish Dealers Reticent—Colored Citizens Oppose Principle Involved In Autocratic Ruling Harking back to the days of imperialism and bourbonism, when tyrannies issued despotic orders promiscuously and the plebeians were at the mercy of the cruel and heartless overlords, an edict has been promulgated by some dictator at the Houston City Hall forbidding and barring Negroes from serving as clerks in the fish and oyster stalls in the City Market. Several of these sea food markets, all of which are owned and operated by whites, have employed Negroes in such responsible positions for many years, and no previous city administration has undertaken to dictate to these stall operators the color and type of employees they must or must not hire. Without any regard for the constitutional rights of these fish dealers and unmindful of the fact that Negroes are citizens of Houston and, as such, are helping to support the municipal government, this imperious ultimatum was issued and enforced under threat of bodily injury to any Negro who essayed to continue the tyrannical act had been issued, was threatened by some functionary at the City Market, who drew his pistol on said black and sought to drive him from his job with force. Even though these fish dealers have recourse at court and not withstanding the fact that this imperialistic order ha already injured their business, no action had been taken when The Informer went to press with this issue. Many local Negroes are "up in arms," not because of any interest in the welfare of these fish dealers, per se, but because of the principle involved; for if some person at the City Hall can issue and enforce an edict denying Negroes the right to perform certain acts, then the same person can issue an order prohibiting Negroes from entering the City Market, or designate a "jim-crow" entrance for all persons of African descent. This is a serious matter and the mayor and city commissioners will be using excellent judgment to rescind at once this order, which is both discriminatory and confictory.

"JOE" PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK WITH A True Story of the Thrilling and Remarkable Experiences of A Negro Prohibition Agent. BY ANTHONY WAYNE Correspondent and Special Writer. Names of Principals are Concealed for Obvious Reasons. HELLO. Yes, this is the prohibition unit. A still, you say? Sure about it, are you? Well, all right. Tell us where it is and we'll have a look. Under take? That's good! All right, we've got it. Now who is this speaking? The connection was broken at the Butler School, an unusual procedure. Many people are willing to tell what they know, and the teacher is not sure, something trouble if it is discovered who tipped us off. The chief, in this instance, called Joe Rackman. Now Joe Rackman is not his baptismal name, but it is close to it. For, while many know the skill which掌握 investigations, there is no need of advertising him to his personal danger and inconvenience. Besides there are regulations that force the expulsion of individuals because the unit operates as quietly as possible under Government rules. Joe, however, is an ace. He operates on several large cities, moving about an ordered. He is a quiet fellow large, good looking, intelligent. He is good at detecting integrity and fair dealing under crying circumstances. There is no problem. The chief talked with Joe over his expense of managogy. The telephone tip up in the middle of a typewriter through a telephone tip. He smiled. He knew a question. But let him tell his own story. "First I went to the files and found some complaints, mostly anonymous concerning this place. Investigation and alarms had been taken for it was conviction which the chief sought and not just raids without purpose," Joe told. "Taking along an assistant, we helped off to make a call on our phone, and then we made to a make a direct attack. It seemed to be the last thing that would be needed, very way that might succeed." "I frankly told the 'undertaker' our prosperous neighborhood and had his residence. He gave us permission to live here. He was very polite about it and most accommodating. In fact, he was very polite about it, but try our best, we could not. I a slight dug of the stuff anywhere, and I talked the situation over with him. In the house had been thoroughly covered. Then I remembered the fact that we could not be overheard and I talked the situation over with him. In the house had been thoroughly covered. Then I remembered the fact that there was a hause. None of us had seen a hause. None of us had seen a hause. None of us have immediately examined any more than the inside of the hause. The owner when approached the hause had a hause and that he rented out for funnels. When asked out for funnels. There was no room for the garage. The garage in turn was on the back of the lot and well over grown and filled. There was no room for the garage. I bluntly asked the few. "But you can see inside of the garage." "Give me a window. You don't need a bother about going in," he answered. "I detected a note of real anxiety." "Do we want the keys?" I asked of the young fellow with me, at the same time tinkling to suggest his胜利. "Sure we do,' he answered. 'All right, Boss, sorry, but guess we'll have to have those keys,' I said. 'Though very reluctantly, they were eventually forthcoming and passed through everything and passed as it should. There was even a faint odor of formaldehyde. Nothing seemed out of the way until I determined to have a look inside the marine. Of all the places for a full, still. We opened all the found and a fully equipped ten-gallon still which apparently had just completed its work of turning out corn whiskey." Later Jackien observed that the batting of the still in the hearse was most fitting, judging from the chemist's analysis. There would have been a lot of the work he had on labels marking the skill and crosshones on the bottles," he said with a weary smile. Spashing of a still in a hearse suggests Jackson's recent experience as a grave digger. This was in order to prefer to be less pressure, evidence to be hard in this situation, taken a key off to attend the funeral of an old friend. The trip to the cemetery was a longe one, extending to the outermost of the city. From force of habit, perhaps, or his own training, I was watched the same day as the head. Nothing been found out of place; everything was quiet until he observed two men in back of a house that was close to the cemetery. In fact, the yard of the house adorned the cemetery at one side. As the general possession went by, the Making trial, and the location, and the knowledge, and knowing, anything more.

There was nothing to verify his suspicions except a peculiar dank brown coat that must surely傲坏 behind swinging doors in bygone days, but no one but an umbrella frequently to mask what merely because it was there. There had to be conclusive evidence of manufacture or sale. Such evidence is frequently very difficult to obtain. There was appearing at the suspected house evidently located advantageously. There was place of concealment nearby except in the back yard, where Spending a night among tombatons during the fall months did not have to be done, it seemed to be line of duty. Butting his coat into the hatch and starting on a long walk that would bring him in on the day the suspect entered the cemetery gates had closed, he determined to see what he could see, cool Hid Behind a Tomb When the sun had gone down he overcaucuously over to a tomb fecal the shrimp that sourrounded it. He settled down to watch and wait for shrimp that sourrounded it. For three hours, cold nothing at all happened. He had just about decided to climb the tomb and strike terminus when his straining eyes caught a yellow pencil of light from a house. Then the light widened to about an inch in width. He perched one of two men standing on the porch. The voice carried distinct- through the frosty air. The door closed, permitting two men with a sarcet to enter. He would need a warrant—and more evidence. He would get the legal document on suspicion and the evidence, if there were. Thus, early the next morning an officer took a look at colored men present in the office of this cemetery. His cost was threadbare and out at the door, the men held it together. He was a forlorn sight and enought to arouse the pity of any one as he stood hunched "I want a job as a grave digger," or do good work. The superintendent didn't wait long in deciding. Pointing to where the cemetery corner of the cemetery and ordered him to work. He was working, worked, shoveling and digging and filling graves. It was hard work, back-breaking, exerting effort. It was when evening came and he offered to work overtime, the superintendent said, leaving him alone. He then chose he wanted. He immediately transferred his operations to the street side of the cemetery, less than a hundred feet from the cemetery. He was sitting in the front of the house regarding in the front of the house regarded him about his job. Then he went about his job, shoveling the cold, heavy earth. Then he drank about a drink, explained to "but he THE HOUSTON INFORMER SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1930 RS ten- d just corn Fire thousand cases and three hundred barrels of choice liquor smeared by the Customs警卫 on the run ship, Bulko, going up to smoke at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

"Then I decided to start him, and I decided to carry six graves by digging the hard earth and sod away. These were all parallel to the cemetery fence and were in front of the expected house. This had the desired effect. It worked on his superstitions, and he in turn called to another, until all three of them were watching "At last one crossed the road, saying as he came up: How many more you have?"

He had been working industriously and looked at the visitor, saying, "You know, I give five bucks stuff. It might a nightkight boss." With that he returned to his digging. The main on the other side of the room was a man who saw if anyone was near and spoke in front. "You came to just the right place, colored man; drop over to the house and look at the man who can fix you up," he said, confident and thankful. When it became dark he put his shovel in the tool house by the superintendent's office and stroll around the room, greeted cordially and introduced as a good fellow by the man who had taken and offered a big glass. A man who had pressed his hands into his pockets, he pulled out a search warrant from one of the men. All that remained was the use of the telephone and the arrival of the war Found Busy Still "In one room there was a great barrel containing alcohol," Jackson explained. "There were jars of chem- ical coloring and essences of various foods." He added that there was a bottle of oil to give the moonshine "beach" and enoile "akela barrels containing alcohol." Many and varied have been the hiding places that have come under the suspicious eye of Joe Jackson.

Well, we got a tip, and Among other unique biding places Jackson tells of a colored jiantion who should have the prize. That had been placed in a fire house of a certain office building, Joe said. "He was an easy matter to slip the container in the house. Just what would have happened if the water pressure had been lowered?" The cause caused me to wonder and the owner too. Guess three things have been "There was a decided dearth of dandelions in one section of the city, that one of the men noticed and mentioned at the office," Jackson continued. "I thought nothing of it until I noticed a group of children with large baskets who seemed very busy in the office, the little plant. When I trailed them I found their mother, a laundress. Measuring her washtub, it was evident that there was more room than appeared to the eye, so beneath the soiled clothes was discovered a false bottom and within there was found a fairly good quantity of dandelion wine. Searching still further other apparatus was locative." But even the face of prohibition has troubles. There are plenty of un-lucky trips and ones that do not turn out well. "Hello, Joe, I think I've got one. Better bring the car," said the voice over the telephone, not long ago. "Got one what," I answered. "A gang of rum runners." "All right. I'll be right over too."

The squadron, under the direction of M. R. Livingston of Washington, swooped in to investigate the evening's gaiety. Liquor was a flowing freely over the bar and 40 couples, white and colored, were dancing when the investigators, including Agents Louis Kelly and Ray Connelley, entered with drawn revolvers. Patrons, waiters and proprietors of the club were arrested across the thriving bar. The three officers of the club, taken to the federal agents' station, were Louis Black and his brother, Frank Black, and Frank Porce, respectively. According to Livingston, purchases of narcotics had been made from Louis Black as well as U, S. District Attorney Charles H.

Singly and in two and three, the suspected members of the dope sympathizers fences down "criminal ally". None was permitted to communicate with the outside and so spread warnings. More importance is attached to these raids than any held recently. It is also important to warn the men in Harlem and the clubs which led to the Harlem raid are carefully guarded. The leakage came through the files of Arnold Rothstein and its accusers from the personal diary of the late THE MUSICIAN THE MUSICAL Nim Mac McKinney, the fascinating star of "Halliburgh." She has been given a long-term contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The above picture shows her as queen of the ballroom. they represent a minority of the population of the country and a 'still smaller' majority of the last national elections. This is the complaint of the Chicago Tribune bureaucrat, who corresponds, but the Tribune has not addressed because this over-valued Southern minority is defeating the rights of the Republican, who feasted the sacred high-tail aim of the "regular" Republicans. You know, it depends on "whose ox is gored." The South, reinforced by a few insurgent Republicans, can muster a five-third victory, control of the so-called minority office by an overwhelming and unprecedented majority of the American population, and control of the minority of the population of the United States in spite of the fact that the coalition of Northern allies. This bloo, which dominating legislation, represents a still smaller minority of voting clerks in New York senators, who are included in the coalition—with New York's millions taken out. Maybe the Republican machine and the "high tariff" crowd will begin to argue against this same "rotten-borough" power which disfranchises and enalances sympathetic understanding is community of interest. If these United States people are to rule in them, then the constitution should be amended, proportioning to the states one senator at a time, and guaranteeing to each state at least one senator. That would make us a more democratic nation, but we would be more to govern.

Andrews, pastor, February 5, 6 and 13, 1790 to meet this convention has failed to hold its regular annual session during 1922. For the years since, we have been wounded, curpure selfish, aggrandement, personal gain, unrightness procedures, fraud, grief, much confidence, perpetuate hate, stress and envy. We have been waited in effort to overthrow Baptistocracy and gain control of denominations, interests have piled up, highest creditors have suffered, and in selfishness and conspiracy the court has been forced (and rightly so) to order a sale of all our prophecies. But as officers of the convention, we could feel the heart throb and pulsation of the majority of the people, what we know we would have us do, and what we could be praised, our property, and we got it. In the absence of the assembled convention, and as stewards of the right to act, we must therefore, have or accept the proceeded convention and be secure the more than $200,000 worth of property the convention has at stake. The purpose of this meeting shall be to attend to whatever business the convention has to deal with the wellbeing of the convention. Therefore, each organization, as a member of the convention, messengers duly qualified and properly authorized, according to constitutional requirements, to take part in the regular and any necessary business to make safe the holdings of the conference. In this call we recognize no sides, we eliminate factions and call upon the members of the convention and organizations to forget the past, put down differences, crumple prejudices, and in the name of the right to act, the hope and triumph of truth, let us all meet and save House members, and many church lots scattered throughout the state from any such passing through a crisis but "Hitherto hoth the Lord brought us."

It has been a very difficult task for the committee of seven, attested to the same year. The School Athlete Association to pick an all-state high school football team in Texas this year because of the large group of high school athletes of the same ability. Their task could have been much easier, according to the official report. It has been completed in the first year of the school of football. It has had many set-up problems. The Corsicana as their first team. Dunbar High School team of Tex Many inquiries have been received with reference to caller of high school football in Texas, to compare the past season it was difficult to compare high school football in Texas. During the football season of 1929 an interesting experiment was made in which a team from Texas made reference to top of football played by the colored high school in Texas. We have already been informed about teams of Texas, since Waco Tigers have had for years one of the best teams in country and Athena High School in basketball team won the national basketball championship at Chicago last Several all-state high school football stars from schools and states located in the region of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and colleges, enrolled in one of the Texas schools. These young men were confident that they were the peer of any high school player developed in the colored high schools of Texas but they were soon sadly disillusioned. In the first game of the season it was a battle between two great high school stars, one the invader with the white press of his section heralding him as the greatest fullback produced in his state and the host and the defender a product of Brazos bottoms unknown to some in his own state. By the way, the invader hails from the city where is located a university which occasionally defeats the great Notre Dame team. The game was but a very few minu- tures convinced the invader that he did know what it was all about. This of the best exhibitions of all around ability of a backfielder star ever would be the best regardless of creed or color. He clearly proved that he was the peer of the best team who was a former all-state high school star on a white team. Probe- died as one of the backs on the Texas all-state team. Become the next week of the best team. Become the diaries of Texas ripped the cream of Fort Worth played interstate School of Fort Worth played interstate School of Texas, in which the Oklahoma team were victorious. While Fort Worth School teams in Texas, it was in the its in section or in the state, school teams in Texas, it was in Corsicana won the state championship by defeating the Charlton-Florida gain of Beantown at Beantown, in which he is coached by N. H. Pendleton, and Fred Long (the wizard of the Southeast) the greatest quarterback The Jackson Bearls left the high school ranch to play Paul Quinn College. The team was not much a test since Paul Quinn College was not a history of the school. They then met with the players played them to a 4-1 tie. After this game everyone realised that it would be good high school team to defeat Carlson. If comparative scores mean anything the Jackson Bears of Corsicana held Texas College to 66. Texas College held Prairie View College to a tie on Thanksgiving Day Prairie Victory College tied Wiley College and lost to Fisk 20-0. Therefore, the Bears would have given any average winning percentage of the past season a good game. Coach Pendleton in his five years at Corsicana has worked out a system whereby he never sings the swan song over the loss of any of his star athletes because he trains them from the grade school through high school. Dunbar High School team of Texarkana, coached by Pollard, former Prairie View star, was the leading team in its section: Northeast Texas. Corsicana was the leading team of the central section as well as state champions. Charlton-Pollard of Beaumont, coached by Broadmax, was the leading team in the southern section of the state. Bryan High School, coached by Dr. A. E. Thompson, former Meharry athlete, turned out another wonderful team. The Bryan team was a free lancer, not belonging to the southern district or the central district. We hope to have Bryan High School a member of the southern district or central district next year. Anderson High School of Austin, coached by Winston Graves, the former Samuel Huston College all-round athlete, had a very successful season in its district. They tied Samtel Huston College in a practice game and lost an inter-district game by an overwhelming score to Phyllis Wheatley High School of Houston. The daily newspaper of the city, The Times, ranks among the first ten largest schools in the country, stated that if you attend a particular university you would have the greatest chance of attend that particular university you would lose to out-of-state university teams on which home products are sold.

Javis then proceeded to cut a 22-7 game against the regulars returning to count two in the last eight minutes. Sam Thompson and Briggs led the team, Warren, showed plenty of promise.

JACKSON BEARS ANSWER BRYAN IN GRID MATTER Editor Houston Infernet: In a recent issue of The Houston Infernet, an article from the Bryan High School Athletic Council was carried disputing the Jackson Bear's right to their clalm upon the state we wish to say for the information of the many well-wishers and readers after the Bear, that the cry from Bryan, jungle as in "sounding the heart of the Bear," hearts are not troubled nor does the Bear "management feel the slightest pang of anxiety from the force that the article will have upon the reading As a matter of courtesy, we wish to implement the of the Bryan Athletic Council. The Jackson High School is a championship school and the Athletic Conference, and a charter member. The Bearers are certified championship high school.

How to Make Powder Stay On 福 BLUITT EXPOSES EXTORTION PLOT OF RACE LAWYER Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—In the wake of a breadth of which was fired at Sheridan A. Bruseau, head of a detective agency which bears his name, by Francis Stradford, ex-president of the National Bar Association, charging the detective with engineering an extortion plot, has now come a batch of documents from the detective's office, bearing the name of Dr. Benjamin Bluit, in which the lawyer himself is charged with being the extortionist. Dr. Bluit is one of Chicago's best known physicians. He has practiced here for 12 years and, before that, for 29 years in Texas. The round-robin of accusation between him and Mr. Stradford and Mr. Bruseau grew out of an illegal operation which Dr. Bluit alleged to have formed on a young woman who later died. After paying $2,700 of the $3,000 fee to Mr. Stradford, Dr. Blufftisses himself being gouged and employed the services of Mr. Brusauxe to help him out for all the money paid out, for which he has received no bill, Attorney Stradford was at only two continuations only four witnesses. Dr. Blufft has submitted his submitted evidence expressing the hope that that association will not permit Mr. Stradford to attack him by either the coroner or his complaint he makes much of the fact that no complaint was ever lodged against him by either the coroner or by Mr. Stradford into the pocket of E. M. Cleaves the deputy attorney, who was said to have died the inquest or Hurry Gabriel, a while man, who was said to have cluded that his lawyer kept all the money for himself and wants to get it back, in his earlier story, suggested that he prevented a charge of murder from being placed against him, the opinion that a man of the physicianing should have thought that $3,000 little enough to pay to avoid a charge. Another point denied by Dr. Brutz is that Mr. Brutz, who lives in the city, was charged by Stradford. He averns that Mr. Brutzus has been overcharged for the use of welding a mother in an accident and denied sorry that Attoray Stradford has ill-advised me" concludes Dr. Brutz. "And made him pay for the damage from me illegally, and that he has used his pen to express his petty feelings against Mr. Brutzus and misrepresent the true facts."

Lesson for January 19 JESUS BEGINS HIS MINISTRY JESUS TEXT-MATHEW (11:28-30) GOLDEN TEXT-Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand TONGO TEXT-ONIC Jesus Chooses Some Helpers JUNIOR TONGO Jesus Begins His InterMEDIATE AND HOME HISTORY TONGO TEXT-HOME HISTORY TONGO PEOPLE AND AULTLY TONGO The Comprehensive Program of Jesus Jesus began his official work as Measleth at Jerusalem where He presented Himself to the sons of the Jewish nation. The King His Own Heald (vv. 12, 17). 1. The reason for this (v. 12). The news of the imprisonment of John the Baptist caused Jesus to forsake Jude and go into Galilee. The fate of John was accepted for an apostle. Jesus was sent to the fortuneer unseen the rejection of the King, whose advent be proclaimed. Because of this it withdrew from the city and went to regions where his work would attract attention. The proclamation was made (v. 18-19). It was to the people at Capernaum in fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy (0,1-2). These people were not blessed with the grace of the kingdom of Jerusalem. Thus we see that the darkest and most corrupt of the province was getting the light first. Jesus was the first to present the gospel, when the grace of God is being preached to the Gentiles. He sent a message (v. 17). "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." This is the same kingdom which John the Baptist and the prophet Jesus were in. It means the Messiah earth rule of Jesus Christ. It is for that work when we break forth the light will break forth which shall illuminate the whole earth. H. The King Calling to Himself Anointed (v. 22-23). 1. His command of authority (vv. 18, 19). 2. He did not endeavor to persuade them, and He did not use arguments but issued the mandate. To command is the King's preagentive—not to argue 3. The *station* of the servants called (vv. 18, 21). 4. The *station* of the servants called of towty birth and occupation—diesherm. God chooses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise and the weak things which are mighty (I. Cor. 128). 5. *They* were called to defile service (vv. 19). 6. *They* will join fishers of men." He had previously called them to be disciples (John 1:368). He now called them to service. This call therefore means that the servants which to which is "believe on me," but the call to service of those who have already served is "believe in good qualities which made for good fishers—patience, bravery to face the storm and the night, the perseverance which allowed them to would make for good fishers of men." Their prompt obedience (vv. 20, 22). They put their trust in Him who called, believing that He was able to do what they needed for delay when the King commands. II. The King's Triumphant Progress (v. 12). He went the whole round of Guilds, teaching the Scriptures, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of diseases. He did a three-hour lesson on God needed to be explained. This is what He was doing in Nazarene (Lack 4:10-12). Such is the primary business of every minister, and God kindled the kingdom (v. 23). The King who was present and was willing to establish His Kingdom if they would have been willing to receive Him. III. Healing all manner of diseases (v. 16). "His fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought unto Him all slick people that were taken with him, and those which were those which were possessed with devil, and those which were innate, and those which were pathetic; and he healed them." What God Has to Tell Us If we think no more of ourselves than we ought to think. If we seek not our own but others' welfare, if we are not dealing with us, then we may have a chance of catching from time to time what God has to tell us. **Paying Toll to the Devil** He who does evil that good may come pays a toll to the devil to let him into heaven.

BEST REMEDY FOR COUGH IS EASILY MIXED AT HOME BEST REMEDY FOR COUGH IS EASILY MIXED AT HOME You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough or chest cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It is useful at all to mix and coat a b斗 trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 24 ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar to it; then mix to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you a purifier and tastes good—throatmenis like it. You can actually feel its penetration through membranes. It is also absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly and tastes good—same time, it promptly loosens the germ-laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such a strong cough, which follows cold epidemics. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine cones, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief at all. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1930 MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy Lisa has blossomed into a maiden of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where her voice—the deep control, handed down from her mother—is the center of her life. Lisa is now a member of Charleston's intelligence, where she met talent and artistry in painter and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile, and is interested in music. Lisa is considerably disgusted with her lofty associates. One day she meets a young man who is told to be a North Negro heritage, all her associates are trying their "third" to be white. Gardinia Whitmore, a mulatto beauty and the true flapper type, seeks Lisa. She is also Lisa, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of her overture. Gardinia has asked Lisa to accompany her on a "wild party." After much discussion, Lisa becomes an abhorrence her accustomed romance and the seismic life of the parish. Prince, the village sheik, whose favor is courted by all the fair damsels, is attracted to Lissa. He proceeds to give Lissa a "good time." Prince does not meet with the approval of Mamba. Nevertheless, Lissa introduces Mamba to Prince as the young couple are about to go upon another of their frequent auto rides. The auto ride ends at a dance, where the whole crowd falls a victim to Prince's bad liquor. Gardinia, a member of the crowd, recovers from her intoxicated spell only after she has discovered that Prince and Lissa have disappeared from the bunch. Gardinia makes good her promise to Mamba to "look out" for Lissa by immediately notifying her of Prince and Lissa's disappearance. Mamba senses the danger and immediately summons Hagar, who, having taken notice, "prince" is none other than Gilton Bluton, who befriended before Hagar remembers an isolated cabin frequented by "Prince" during the late 1980s. He asks Hagar to stay out for the cabin they undertook it, their lion Liza a frightened voice. When they open the door they find Lissa sited in a corner with her dres torn and arms locked about her legs below the knees. "Prince" stands leans into Mamba's arms and together they leave the cabin, Igar, complaining and ungrateful. "Prince" and strangles him to death with her bare hands. Igar is forced into hiding. Mamba sends Lissa to New York City, where Saint and Lissa take a taxi for the home of the Reverend Thomas Grayson. SYNOPSIS "How are you fixed for money?" he asked bluntly. She opened her handbag and gave him a roll of bills and a passbook on a Charleston bank. He counted the money—three hundred dollars. Then he opened the passbook. It looked like a fine账本. Lissa Atkinson that had been opened nineteen years previously. He spurned the money and there a week was deposited of one dollar—sometimes two-here and there a week was deposited of one dollar—sometimes up for a fine he thought. After each of these eloquent breaks the amounts would run to one-fifty or even two-hundred dollars, and he was good. He came to the final page and found the balance: fourteen hundred dollars. He met the man he met he sat stump dumb by the utter beauty of the thing that lay behind the proxie column of Ficus. Mammalia. He was a disciple of a single transcendent ideal, in the name of which she had more to know, more to applaud, more to know, more to applaud. Wentworth turned with a new curiosity, and she became the cause of such devotion. The very magnitude of the sacrifices she made with an importance out of proportion to herself as an individual. She was a symbol in which had gone some of her most important aspirations, the great, fantastically conceived dreams of the old princes of her inarticulate kin. During the brief space of time that Wentworth spent, Looking at the World From a Woman's Point of View // Nannie H. Burroughs O A.N.P. TEN REASONS WHY NEGROES JOIN FRATERAL ORGANIZATIONS 1. Because they get more out of them than they put in them. They are illiterate to get sick. There is a class of illiterate that have accommodating constitutions. They get sick as often as the law allows. Aside from financial benefits they get fellowship, friendship, and, some the most. 2. Fraternal organizations offer many of them their only opportunity to get into positions where they will be looked up to—a sense of station that gets titles and degrees without having to go to school a life-time and that get the two letters. They offer a social opportunity which many could not otherwise enjoy. 3. They join because they can dress up in their uniforms and yegalia and get from a city, as large as New York, the right of way to "strut their material" to strains of tantalizing, toilessing music played by big brass bands. They are looked at, applauded, and welcomed by governors and mayors and big folk who either belong to something just as mysterious or know the power of men who are bound by the ties of real fraternalism. 4. Because they like mysteries, secrets, signs, grips (in Africa) home they have some of their secrets on the pyramids and nobody has ever been able to read them. They like to know something that "heap sees, but few knows." 5. Because they get a chance to practice seven days of the week some of the ideals about which the Christian church talks on Sunday. 6. They join in answer to the in-law's share of one part of all. worth had been conscious of a growing annoyance at her calm acceptance of the sacrifices that were being made to her, with which she had precipitated a wreck, then left the debris for others, himself, would attend to details. Why should she worry? Now the life of her husband, explained her attitude. It went further and convinced him in some inexplicable manner that her assumption justified her attitude. Lissa would attain her goal because she, like her grandmother, had been a teacher. She knew, of course, of the girl's reputation in colored circles as a future. Now he knew that this faith was the only thing that mattered in her life, and she had bred into the girl. Her own belief faith that she and Mamah held in common there were certain articles of faith that she and Mamah held in others. It was their job to carry through together; the job of believing mindedly, that the day would come when that belief should become an obligation now, if she removed her gaze from the steady light to which it had been before, and dazzled and blundering, she would have broken faith with Mamah. She would have weakness. She must look only forward, and leave the road that she had followed, and the watchful eyes of the old woman.

HOWARD Houston Dentist ORAL HYGIENE The keeping of the oral cavity or mouth in a healthy condition has an important effect upon the general health of the body. The teeth should be properly brushed, using right type of brush, a good dentifrice and mouth wash, other accessories as tongue-scraper, dental floss, orange stick, cotton rolls and atomizer as recommended by your dentist. The matter of prevention is easier than that of correcting. Care should be taken that no food particles remain in the mouth, especially on the mucin plagues or rough the common touch. They have found out that just ordinary, everyday people are often rich in the things of the spirit and are sources of inspiration and challenge. Men lose their inferiority or superiority complexes and become "brothers all, whether in rags or lace, brothers all by the good Lord's grace." 7. Men of great hearts join because they seek the supreme chance to clasp the hand, visit in sickness, to hearten and succor many whom the more favored of the race never consider and charity often serves with a protest. They ignore social barriers and become members of the human race and thereby see every man as a brother. 8. Because they know that in the hour of distress and sickness when even their mothers and their fathers take them up—if they are paid up, 6. To have somewhere to go and know it, and to welcome it. 10.

The symbols of conquest were his. Next week, the returm from the Valerie, then comfort—love—probably children—an ordered and beautifully completed existence. Yet there he sat envying an unknown mulato girl and seeing with a sudden and terrible clarity a speedy youth in a coun- ing for the unattainable growth of a glittering clumsy fingers. But the past had reached dead hands after him, guiding him imperceptibly this way and that. Forces that had driven forward in grooves for generations, had pulled against his morphous longing. He had a bit of l�-tallism, a dream which held him true to form and tradition. Behind Lissa there had been nothing before her, Mamba's one immovable phen. An old loneliness that he had known in that far-gone time stabbed up through his complacence, and now he knew that he had been a singular and beautiful thing, and that the exists for certain solitary aspirants a loneliness that holds more ceatsay than the delight of any human companionship. And so to-morrow was to be his wedding day. And there was Lissa following her dream. He realized that his hands were trembling, and he tensed them so slowly. He had been unchemically so. His mother had been right. Val been right. Life would still be an adventure. He stole a glance at his companion and realised that she was no longer sitting forward with her gaze faintened upon the crowds, the towering heads behind them, and their heads the elevated hurried their mechanical thunders. From a yawn, the crowd almost under hurriedly bursting into detonations of blasting. Faces hurtled by in taxis. Faces intent and in pain, and pavements. After a while the girl turned toward Saint, and in her first toward Saint, and in her second something that she should have seen. The white man had never felt, that in the vast unconcern of this city there was no time to wonder who you were or when to wonder who you are or when to wonder who I am even white or colored. "This is where I belong, Mr. Saint," "Nobody here has time to wendow me. I am even white or colored." Presently they were on Lenox Avenue. We were behind them. Faces were behind them. Lissas saw the change instantly, and her comeback with a delight mapped her on the child. "Here are my folks, Mr. Saint," "Here are my folks, everywhere and such little houses." The taxi swerped to the right, and the glimpse of the East River under the high-flung bridge of the elevated. Then they drew to the curb and stopped. Wentworth awakened to the realization that he was sitting still in his hands. He put them hastily back into the bag, took the valse, got out, and dislodged them. They found themselves on the pave surfaces of the teeth, forming a hot bed of fermentation for carousal activity. The mouth is oftimes spoken of as the gateway to health. Since practically all the nourishment in the mouth is imperative that the mouth be kept in a hygienic condition, carefully about the cleanliness of the food taken in the body, but oftimes we forgo the condition of the mouth through the mouth pass. Our fingers, foreign articles have no place in our mouth unless we know that they are in an asceptic condition.

C.—(ANP—George Jenkins and Olivia Morgan were sweethearts and during those days he paid for some dental work, gold fillings, which was termed necessary. A few days ago the two lovers came to the parting of ways and George deferred that he wanted his gold fillings back. To secure the gold he knocked his former sweetheart down and tried to extract the gold by force. The dentist, however, had done a good job and George was failed. Not only was he a dentist, he was a court.

Over a push button beside the door was a brass plate inscribed with the name of St. John's Episcopal Church." The malatto male who admitted to the Reverend Thomas Grayson and would be with them presently, and would be with them presently, and they sat in the quietly furnished room Saint was again impressed by their longing. Once their eyes met, and she gave him the bright translucent baub and Hagar, but except in that moment, he felt she was already at the door, and that he was the sleeper in charge. Grayson entered; holding Saint's card in his hand. He was older than he had depended almost to one of solemnity, his expression of seriousness had deepened almost to one of solemnity, and he was heavy with his greater maturity.

His ears were small and close-set, and the closely spaced lips of his shucked skin and stressed the Negrooid formation.

"The mills of the gods, Mr. Wentworth," he said; "perhaps my ancestors into the mason field have born fruit after all." He turned to her. "And you will stay for a while, at any rate, with my wife and me. We have no children, of our own. She will be dead." Saint thanked him and, feeling an enormously relief from the burden of our own The maid, appeared to show him out, and while she was handing him stick and hat he caught from the drawing room a fragment of conversation that he was never to forget; the deep voice of Grayson said, "And you, my child, have you any plans to do?"

The most of the spot where the car had stood when Lasso had embraced her, were wide and intent, like those of a sleep-walker, and a faint, fixed smile was upon her lips.

The Marble in the forest is the most direct on a limb, arched his neck eastward, and flung a ringing challenge into the teeth of the adranging day. With a start Hager recovered herself and looked about her. She was looking for a new way, and there was something to be found there in the lark without Mamba, without anyone; all by herself took the must make plans and carry them out. She thought of Bloton lying in the shack, but with neither regret nor terror at what she had done. Only out of that thought there seemed to grow a blackness the medical Lasso and that was undurable. She turned and entered, the cabin, and with a thruway meticulousness, an air of quietness. She was the result of an elaborate mental process, she made her preparations for departure.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL ARTWORKS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—ROOSEVELT. CITY HALL'S TYRANNICAL POLICY! The Informer has been informed that some functionary at the Houston City Hall has issued an edict banning all colored clerks, bereftore employed at several of the fish and oyster stalls in the City Market; and that one of these colored employees was threatened with bodily injury when he failed to heed the ultimatum, it being alleged that some city hall officer drew his revolver on said Negro. This paper holds no brief for the owners and operators of these fish and oyster stalls in the City Market, for all of them are members of the dominant race and fully able to look after their own interests—even if it becomes necessary for them to resort to court action and join such tyrants and autocrats from executing a pernicious policy. If the city council, or some appointed city official, has the authority to dictate and designate the racial connection of the employees in the various stalls in the City Market, then this same body or some individual can also issue an order forbidding Negroes or any other race from entering the municipal building on any type of mission. The City Hall, which houses the City Market, is the property of all the citizens of Houston, and, if the city charter provides that the city council or some municipal appointee or employee determines the racial identity of the various employees at these buildings, the section of the municipal document has escaped our gaze and attention! Aside from the mere fact of losing jobs and reducing the income of these fish dealers who have used Negro clerks in the past, without any protest from any source or without the occasion for such tyrannical order and bourbon gun play, there is a fundamental principle underlying this latest kaiseristic action at the City Hall. It has that a belated excuse is being offered that some of these Negro clerks were "too fly" with white girls and women, and that many of them had "gotten out of their places"; yet every sensible and same person, white and black, knows that no white man would employ a Negro, in any capacity, who would insult white girls and women. The fact that no colored clerk has ever been reported for such an act to any of the fish dealers, who used Negroes in this capacity, is evident proof that such an accusation is merely a smoke-screen to hide the real issue. The Informer ventures the assertion that some white fish dealers, and as a result did not enjoy as good colored trade as some of his competitors with colored help, instigated this agitation and originated these fictitious charges of "familiarity," "flipancy" and "impudence" on the part of the colored clerks. As a matter of fact, most of the fish dealers who had colored clerks in their employ, used them to serve their large Negro trade and these Negroes seldom served whites, unless the whites desired a desire or willingness to be served by the colored clerks. Appreciating the fact that some of these fish and oyster dealer used members of their race as clerks in their stalls in the City Hall, Negroes generally purchased their fish from said markets, resulting in a considerable business for such markets. What right has any City Hall official—elective, appointee or civil service—to issue an order that these free-born American citizens, who have the constitutional right to employ their help, must not use employees in certain places, who are members of a particular race? The infringement, from time to time, has read about and heard of and performed acts on the part of some municipal and state officials throughout the South, but this is the first instance where local municipal officialdom, either directly or indirectly, has attempted to serve in the role of tyrant and autocrat. Even though the colored citizens of Houston are excluded from participation in the "white man's primary," when the mayor or city commissioners are nominated here, it does not follow that these citizens have no rights which even some of our local tyrants and bullies must respect! The taxes paid into the municipal coffers by Negroes help to maintain not only the City Hall, but also all of the city's public services with the municipal government; and these public servants have neither the moral, legal nor civic right to issue and attempt to enforce any such edict barring Negroes from certain positions of employment in the stalls operated by merchants in the City Market, or anywhere else. This is not Russia during the days of the czar, when the rights of the many were trapped under the profane and unholy feet of the privileged and dominant few, and when tyranny and奴性 became a barrier and menace to the peace and perpetuity of the Russian people! On the other hand, this is supposed to be "Heavenly Houston," where men are permitted to labor and size to any position or activity, and there are capable of attaining, rather than "Hollah The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper iron hands and issue edicts which abrogate and nullify the God-given rights and constitutional warranties of the citizenry. The edicts are often based on economic or prejudicial motives, do much to disrupt the amicable relations existing between the colored and white races, and serve to lend impetus to the mobocratic spirit which is making such a mockery of democracy and Christianity and undermining America. If this edict is not revoked by the City Hall tyrant or tyrants who promulgated it, then an outraged and enraged public conscience should rise from its lethargy and apathy and see to it that not only is this kaiseristic order rescinded and nullified, but the edicts and the policies that appeases will ever again be foisted upon this community! Selah! DIVIDED NEGRO LEADERSHIP Judging from news reports emanating from Chicago, the Windy City brethren of color seem to be up to their old trick of dividing their forces and splitting hairs over public office, and it ignores them. In quest of the congressional office now occupied by Honorable Oscar DePriest, representative in the lower house of congress from the First District of Illinois, Colonel Roscoe Conklin Simmons has long since announced his candidacy, and latest advice state that Editor Robert S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender, is borne with his friends to enter the Republican primaries for the nomination. Only through racial solidarity were the Negroes of Chicago able to elect Mr. DePriest to congress in 1928, and it must be borne in mind that the congressman did not contest the place in any primary, but was picked by ward committeeman as the party nominee to succeed the incumbent E. M. Meadlin. Unless these race leaders know their voting strength, they will do well not to divide their forces in the primary with a multitude of candidates and emerge from this political struggle without a racial nominee. Hence happened in this country before and it is likely that they will happen again and again—until we learn how to solidify our forces and drive concertedly toward and for our objective. Even though the First Congressional District of Illinois has a large colored population, it must be remembered that it is not entirely unknown to us during the 1928 general election a Democrat, unknown and unpredictable, led Congressman DePriest for a night and day in the race. By forming a coalition, the white Democrats and Republicans of this district, aided and abetted by disgruntled and hungry blacks, can bring out a white candidate in the primaries and make a rather interesting for the candidates of a divided black electorate. The Informer is not attempting to give colored Chicagoans gratuitous advice, but this paper is only giving expression to its opinions in a matter and issue which should vitally concern every Negro in this country. We were amused with an editorial appearing recently in a local newspaper, which indicated that a priest had fallen down on his job and had failed to make friends with the white South, and which (said editorial) insulted that Editor Abbott, because he is a graduate of Hampton Institute and a native Southerner, would more than likely make a better congressman than Mr. DePriest has been, as if the present race solon were not a product of the South, hailing originally from Abuja. The attitude assumed by this Houston daily was surprising and laugable, for it has been among those Southern dailies which have anathematized and denounced what they called the "meddling into Southern affairs" and "misrepresentation of the South" by such "Northern Negro newspapers as the Chicago Defender." And you The Informer does not essay to pass any criticism upon Editor Abbott, nor is this paper trying to condemen either the past or present policy of his paper, but we are citing attention to the "change of front" of one Southern white daily, if only Congressman DePriest can be defeated and the Negro vote divided in the forthcoming Republican primaries in Illinois! There is method in some of this madness and Negro leaders, even the Anglo-ish, should get together on a definite and well-defined program. If there are several worthy and ambitious men in the district, who will make fine congressional timber, why not agree on the term of office for one congressman and then "pass" the honor around every four or six years? Isn't it strange how some of the Chicago political leaders are acting now with a Negro congressman, as compared with their white counterparts? As long as Mr. Madsen represented the First District, the leaders were "agreed" on a certain program, but without a white leadership, these same leaders seem to be "disagreed" on a program for the mutual benefit of the district and race. Maybe the colored politicians of the Windy City "know their annotator elected an electorate divided against itself can not and will not stand." CRAB INSTINCT VERY MUCH PRESENT The Negro race is the only racial contingent in America which is always striving to undermine the members of its own race and to destroy racial leadership. Judging from our actions, we have inherited or acquired or been indoctrinated with quite a bit of the crab instinct and characteristic—every time one member of the race endeavors to rise, some other member of the same group will attempt to grab him and this goes down with all the past. Negroes spend all their time and devote all of their energy in efforts to discredit, disgrace and destroy the leaders and outstanding members of the race; as if any race can rise and occupy a commanding place in its contemporaneous civilization without recognized and admitted leadership. The Informer does not mean to contend or even infer that Negro leaders should not be criticised when their policy or program deserves criticism, nor that their crookedness should not be exposed; but our program of trying to discredit and destroy every recognized leader, whether in the educational, religious, fraternal, or religious community, should be handled and harming the race two ways, in that it is misrepresenting and vilifying our leaders and at the same time retarding the progress of the masses. The masses can not elevate themselves of their own accord; they must have assistance from other sources, but when the leaders of a race are the constant victims of crucifixion and villification because of the crab-like antics of their own race, those leaders soon adopt a policy of isolation and withdraw from all racial affairs. This is done, the entire race suffers, and no struggling and growing race can get very far without leadership of its own making and selection. At times, it appears that the Negro has not learned the rudimentary lessons in race building, and yet we are always singing our hymns of lamentations about our "sad and bitter lot." Any race, that pursues such a silly, crab-like course as the Negro, can not expect to get far in this world or the world to come; and it is hard to expect the race to retard rather than advance the race and trencade its cause.

This is the first time one has underdiction for malfassure heard of undermining a faithful and misbehagged efficient officer on his two counts to I should I fawt that the editor would hear. He scorns one of strike-hope to play upon our predisas when he is down. My us our credibility. Dr. R. E. Wright, Jr. editor of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the A. M. E. Church, has taken up the caged in behalf of Bishop Carpey, now under indictment for his friend's gift to take on two counts to which he I shall not guilty. He accuses me of striking a man when he in down. My renders will recall that when the profer of the commissionship was first accused of condemning the unholy alliance of the church and crooked politics, I pointed out the possibility of involving the great A. M. E. Church in political scandal, and expressed the hope that the good bishop would defame the church when he was at the pinnacle of his political and ecclesiastical fortune. Bishop Carey is a member of the Civil Service Board which has totep with 40,000 positions held mainly by the Army and Navy, and that Pardinand Q. Morton of New York City, holds precisely the same position where he has to do with 117,000 employees, mostly white. He is also the chairman of the scheme to unhose him bv virtue his race or color. All of Mr. Wright arguments are plausible and apothetic, but fall utterly to carry out his own fair, impartial could mind. When the courts of Chicago found a true bill of indictment and placed the bishop under a twenty-five thousand dollar bond, the matter was of great importance. He elicited comment from every publication in the country. Dr. Wright knows fully well from his long editorial experience, that the journalistic must be struck when it is hot and the bishop must be struck when it is cold. I mentionedness of striking a man when he is down. I take no delight in the death or downfall of the wicked Bishop Carey has always treated me with kindness and courtesy. But public opinion compares the composure of political or religious dignitaries. Neither Bishop Carey nor his apologists have any right to complain at the full, fair and frank discussion of the predicament in which he is charged to church, and indeed the whole race Mr. Wright wants that the A. M. E. Church is bound to stand by Bishop Carey, that it will demand technical proof, and suspend judgment until such proof is forthcoming. The more evidence there is on this release on this unfortunate case, the A. M. E. Church gave its tactit endorsement to Bishop Carey's entanglements when the General Conference accepted him as host, partook of his bountie hospitality, shifted Bishop Gaines to another jurisdiction where he could be involved that he could consolidate his priority and political power. The case faced then precisely as it stands now, with the more exception that no technical indictment had been lodged. They who now the seed of corruption may have been indicted, any further apology merely compounds the evil. In the second place, I have not condemned Bishop Carey in advance of trial. I distinctly said that no one dared declare him technically guilty as indicted, until the court had decelerated. I have not seen any cases involved in the Care case, however, far truncated the boundaries of narrow legal technicalities. The right-courness of a godly bishop must exceed the rightcourness of the scribes and Pharisees. It was no crime, in the eyes of the law, for A. J. Carey, the bishop of Philadelphia, what is reputed to be the most corrupt political regime in America there is no law on the statute books which forbid the same A. J. Carey, bishop though he be, from upholding the hands of a mayor who declares that he will keep the city of Chicago under control can array himself on the side of the corrupt, outside of the pale and penalty of the law. Dr. Wright is my friend. I hope he will be made bishop at the next General Conference. But in this instance, I do not believe that he expresses the moral judgment of his dearest friend. In the midst of such a moral crisis, I will try to hold his peace. Ira Bryant will go out. THE MIRROR (Continued from Page One) celerated by the general disrespect for the prohibition laws! booze manufacturers have observed the ease with which the dry statutes are violated and illicit booze manufacturers and that booze manufacturers can pull off their "guests" and get by with them, why can they, and take human lives at random? Since when, Dr. Wright, has the A. M. E. Church committed to the Chicago courts the keeping of its conscience? The moral judgment of a judicial technicalization of the courts. Socrates was legally executed. Jesus Christ was legally crucified. John Brown was hanged with judicial justification. Gandhi justified the courts against him to the penitentiary. What America needs is not more *mere strengthening* of its dry stature and more *enforcement* of all the laws. In the recent past of John H. Harmon, Sr. Houston's pioneer dry goods merchant, this community lost one of its best citizens and benefited of an outstanding character. Coming to Houston over 30 years, Mr. Harmon reached the city with $2 in his pocket and spent that to have his trunk carried *the home of his* According to the ethics uphold by the Christian Recorder, Attorney General Daughter should go uncondemned and rubbed by public opinion because the courts failed to find a political opponent with political affinity with money, friendly finance may defeat the ends of justice. Must the church, therefore withhold its moral condemnation of Whether Bishop Carey is acquitted or condemned by the machinery of the law, the moral involvement will in life be limited. Religious purity and dirty politics Wright imply condemnation Bishop Cannon of the M. E. Church, South for speculation in Wall Street stock The Judgment of the Christian world is with him. And yet gambling in stocks and bonds is not a legal offense. Why, then, does the editor of Christian Charles apply one standard of ethics to Cannon and another to Carey? He found work and educated himself and then began his struggle to serve his fellowmen, and the mercantile business that he established and built up was a fitting tribute to more than 25 years of hard and indefatigable toil and numerous sacrifices. He rose from poverty and obscurity to a commanding place in the religious, commercial and fraternal life of the community, and demonstrated that color is no bar in the field of worthwhile endeavors. He did not spend his years becoming the fact that he was a poor Negro, of humble parentage and far from his native state, but he resolved to "let down his bucket" where he was and pioneer in a field regarded as a hazardous and suicidal business for a black man. The success of his undertaking is not measured in dollars and cents (for he was not a rich man), but in the type of service he rendered the community and in the exemplary life he lived among his neighbors; for 6 man's greatness is not determined by material possessions and worldly accumulations, but by the impress he makes upon contemporaneous and succeeding generations and the unselfish service he renders to the social order. Dr. Wright goes far afar in quest of material to pillure the predicature of his client.
