The former stand quietly as a musical center" for the Los Angeles musician stands prominently in the fields of music. As its faculty is constituted at present, the Negro college can boast of music department, which excels. In the calibre of its teachers, in the type of work which is being done. Bishop is the only Negro school in this section of the country, which gives a degree in music, and the strengthening of its faculty for next season indicates that the new president plans to conduct a music department which will compare favorably with some of the leading colleges of the country. We take this occasion to felicitate President Rhodes in the acquisition of Mrs. Talbert to head the music department, and to commend her for the decision to accept the work. During March the voters of Houston and Harris County will be called upon to approve or disapprove several bond issues running in excess of $11,000,000. The county, city and navigation district will submit several propositions to the voters, and the proponents of the issues hold that the adoption of these measures will insure a big expansion program for the metropolitan area and county during this and the next few years. In a subsequent issue The Informer will state its position on these bond issues, but we suggest here that the colored citizens of Houston, either through the Houston Commission on Interregional Cooperation or the Houston Business Men's Club, or both, should ascertain what consideration will be given Negro residential sections should the municipal bond propositions carry at the polls. There is going to be considerable opposition to any bond issues just now and colored voters can determine the fate of these measures. The time for us to act is before and not after the bond election and here's hoping that a word to the wise will be sufficient. In the hustle and bustle of this busy age in which we live, and the constant trend, even in religious circles, toward racial rancor and moral cowardice, it is refreshing and reassuring to note that one great religious body in this country has come out openly against jim-crowism of its colored constituents. The Congregational Home Boards recently at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago, voted unanimously not to allow the church to use the accommodations after there is any restriction of limitation on the accommodations allowed. The Christian church should be the foremost exponent of the "fatherhood of God" and not the denominational bodies in this country that oppose jim-crowning. The denominational bodies are almost as scarce as the providential bishops tooth. The church, generally speaking, has degenerated into a bad bed of racial bigotry so much that free-thinking Negroes are losing faith in the church. When the white church places its stigma of disapproval upon American injustices and apologizes and apologizes to be done without injuring either race) then, and not until then, the church is a more friendly light. This can be done without injuring white church, while church, red church, yellow church, etc. the Holy Writ does not allow the church to book teaches that the Head of the church established a church—one Those Congregational leaders, who register their strenuous objectives to jointly create and racial分明, are to be commended for their courage.

Mr. Wallace has a truck with which he carries on a hauling business. What will they do after they make their business trip to Tulsa and actually get hold of $8,500,000? Well, when you ask them that, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Wallace has much to say. One thing is certain they are cautious and so "splattering" will be in order not.

He should expect to make our Negroes ‘100 per cent Americans,’ added a caller named melting pot’ is pure rubbish. The Negro should not maintain the thing his race stands for—he shouldn’t wish to be swallowed with the rest of us American’s.

Houston Business Men Get Charter Fairchild At Head "For years all Texans of all races have dreamed of and plowed the lack of an old line, legal reserve life insurance come among Texas Negroes, and the reasons have been obvious most insistent. In the first place, it is a notorious fact that Texans have been the largest group of millions of Negro insurance dollars out of Texas each year; it is equally notorious that none of this money is being sent into Texas in channels which will aid the people from whom being taken. In the second place, so far as Negroes are concerned, it is really conceded that Texas is the best insurance state in the country. And in the third place, Texas Negroes are beginning realize that they have within their ranks business men and men who are just as capable, and that their boys and girls who are trained in the schools each year are just as deserving of opportunities to apply their training as are to be found in any state."

He used this to which to delight a delicate shape. Bus had conceived the present piece and had conceived the improvisation and turbulent triumph. The other instruments were to be obeyed, choring out the excitement while the instrument was played. From the moment the piece started something was obviously wrong. The sound of the platform agility was without purpose. Nothing was heard in the middle of the number and turned pareded pieces toward the platform. The motions faithfully but to no avail. The shadows of sound. He was a deaf mute making a sound that disappointed a panee and fell at the number "Fifteen seconds flat!" the duration "Fifteen seconds flat!"

Bus looked-first at the trap drum, then at the篮; snapped them with the knuckles. There was almost no sound; each drum sheet was dead, lx instead; clear; each bore a short curved knife-cut following its edge a brief distance; clear, each bore a glance, but fatal to the instrument. Bus looked at Tappen, Tappen looked at Bus. The cream-colored son of a bunzard. Fess Baxter, gleeful and olivous, who whirled number, sweeping at an exciting, exhancing pace, distorting, expanding, elaborating their sound. Contrary to Bus William philosopher, Bus considered Rhythm as a fundamental trick. The present piece was眩目 with sudden disharmonics, but false resolutions. Identically, how there was nothing wrong with B bolling over, Bus would have started for him, but Tappen grab militude saw Bus Williams threw ing cup both into his arms. "Hold it, pana. That's a sure way to lose. Maybe we can choke him yet." Baxter's number coded in a furor "Three minutes and twenty ones!" bellow Curry as the ap plaque eventually died out. Bus began his second number, a song he had sung in a dance, beaching him with his wild, widened eyes in her eyes, a look of delight on his face. Tappen ripped on the rim of his trumpet, tapped his triangle, stamped his foot, and the result was a tonesless, and hollow clatter, a weightless noise that caused the audience to lift their attitude of penetrating into playaers, also distracted by the loss of their leader's frankice enthusiasm could compensate for the gagging enthusiasm he ripped out of their music, and Tappen's desperate efforts were but the hoopless fluttering of a sticker on his shirt.

The foxer's *firefox* was坦桑尼亚's *Foxfire*, and Baxter, righing his present advance hard, aured all that he had put into it of total comfort with strange harmonies, iridescent with strange harmonies, iridescent with strange harmonies, its musical fine-writing and concerts delighted the dancers. But it failed to delight Jean Ambre, when by his title it was intended to be a movie. "What is it if?!" She was a aquier. "Drum line." Somebody cut the picture. "What is it?" "What? Somebody? Who?" "Ot 'em with a knife close to the cut." He eut- "Oh Bad! Sheu" "Cut! He eut- "Oh Bad! Sheu" crumpled his assurance had seen it. "Can you. Listen." Sheu was at once to have to.

An uproar that seemed endless grected Baxter's version of "Jean," and the sudden urge to smile as Baxter acknowledged the acclaim by gesturing toward her. The present accent, ladies and gentlemen, is a bit more minute even; for the Firmen, six minutes and thirty seconds, the first minute; or "curry!" Curry's answer to "dart" w his baton into the air and moved the mob to laughter. Into that laughter Brunig grily bent men like a captain leading his carriage to the parent of blues songs, the old St. Louis band that has had adorned classic chants. Charlins twirl, saxophones the great bass horn scribbled dramatically from the music in the expressive mélody in the music express the action of the situation the crowd was in.

Zeus was the king of the city, whose walls were wrought, and the wrath of a terrible storm fended the wrath of a terrible warrior, and savaged and walled to the same slow period, beaten on a wall of a hollow tree. Zeus, enclosed in a hollow tree, breathed an emotion that laid on their skin, and swayed them into the past. Blessed and reached that reached their souls deeply. But slowly the color changed. Pachyrhynchus allowed his body to drop on the ground, and the orbiterrahynchus to gather and the unfolding cumulus number of blues, but the bluest Iberian, the darkest Japanese, the way to hope.

But if Baster realised that he was beaten, his attitude failed to reveal his apologise dug out in a few seconds. He was stopped appalling. The reason was soon apparent. After he stopped appalling, a small group of anacusis handcuffed, collared and kept up a dimimax, violent choke. Again Bus and Tappen exchanged sardonic stares. "Dawn" if he ciph'd said someone. "Damn' if he ain't paid somebody to clap!" Only the threatenst Massa made a boss of the majority terminals and was able to get them to seven minutes and forty seconds! Massa Paster's Baster night—right night. He presented Baxter the loving cup amid a hubbub of marmure, hand claps, shouts, and hisness that dropped whatever he said. Then the by-bub hushed. Baxter was assisted. Jean Ambrose to the platform. With a bow and a flourish, he handed the girl the cup. She held it for a moment in both arms, uncertain, hesitant. But then was nothing uncertain—or hesitant the mob's reaction. Footless applause was overwhelmed in a defuse of the approbation. Cries of "Crooked Don't take it!" "Crown the clear," "He stole it!" stood-out. Tappan puff his finger in the silt of his trap, drunken ripped it to a gash, held-up the yoo-yoo tilted instrument, and tried. "For what he done to my trap!" A hard-boiled ruffians close to the platform moved meningly toward the victor. "Grab 3m! Knock his ear off!" Jean's uncertainty abruptly vanished. She wheeled with the trophy in close embrace and sailed across the platform toward the defeated. Williams. She smiled into his as- ished face and thrust the cup into his arms. "Hot damn, mamal That's the time!" cried a jubilant voice from the floor, and instantly the gathering storm of menace broke into a clown burst of delight.

W. Hunt, in one of his erroneous efforts, has attempted to suspend me from office as Grand Secretary, all of which he has no authority nor power to do. Now the facts are these: Grand Master J. W. Hunt has kept my books and vouchers and everything in his office for the last few years. I have trusted him on his honor and on the honor of his help. When I discovered that the stubs of those checks had been destroyed, I took an officer of the law and went and got the books and had them locked up in the vault for an audit, and asked that they be audited. Grand Master J. W. Hunt proceeded to get a mandamus to take the books and records from the bank. In his mandamus he attempted to suspend me from office as Grand Secretary, all of which he failed to do. I went in court and stopped him. You will find in Article 6 of the Constitution, Section 22, that it does not give him such authorities as he attempted to take. So I, as your Grand Secretary, instructs the local lodges and palaces and juvenile departments of the Loyal Friends of America throughout the Grand Jurisdiction of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, to send your money and reports to E. J. Crawford, 814 Good Street, Dallas, Texas, if you expect to be paid your money in event of death, and to be taken care of in keeping with the constitution and laws of the Order. I am still your Grand Secretary. My money and my influence have made the Order; and my money and my influence will keep your Order as we have always kept it. Send your reports to me as you have always done. Pay no attention to Grand Master J. W. Hunt's proclamation; because he is wrong, and is doing nothing but tearing up things, and will split the jurisdiction if he keeps up his contention. We do not pay any $400 per month of nothing but preside at the annual session. Since he has been paid this salary, he does nothing but stand around and tantalize my office help and the local lodges and palaces in Dallas. I asked him to call an extra session; he refused to do it. Therefore, as Grand Secretary, I am asking the jurisdiction throughout America to meet me March 15, 1930, at El Bethel Church, 9th and Cliff streets, Dallas, Texas, at 10 a. m. We will thrash this out. My position is to save the Order, if it takes a vote that will move both Grand Master Hunt and Grand Secretary E. J. Crawford. Write me at once if I may expect you to be present. Many of the local lodges and palaces join me in this call. Thanking you in advance for your cooperation, I am, Fraternally yours, E. J. CRAWFORD, N. G. S. Loyal Friends of America, 814 Good Street, Dallas, Texas.

Early in the year of 1925, T. H.

In 1928, Mr. Brown was elected president of the class and while holding this position he introduced a wonderful system of management. In 1929, he was appointed teacher of the class and proved himself efficient, loyal and faithful, setting a pace that leads His theme for the year in every less-than-a-year "love." In evidence the class suffers a great loss by Brother Brown's demise. Therefore, since it has pleased Almighty God to take Brother Brown from our midst. Be it resolved that we submit ourselves unto His will, ever holding re-memberance of him dearly in our hearts and that his work with a large on a small shall stand up as a living movement to inspire young men. Be it further resolved, that a copy of this resolution be given to the family and to the local newspaper for publication. By order ANTIOCH'S MEN BIBLE CLASS.

We want a square deal. We want the constitution amended so that these presidents will not hold office always. It is all right for these boards to persevere their exclave. The president's office of the N.A.A.C. demands that honor and that honor should go around; not hold one man there and that I and I will never stand for. There is more than one man in the Convention. Convention who is entitled to honor. There is Dr. Graham of Philadelphia, a good man; there is Dr. Good-game of Alabama, a good man. I simply refer to those two men. You have hundreds of men throughout this country that must have a hearing. For instance: Dr. J. C. Alastino of Chicago, a good man; Dr. Medical W. Johnson, president of Howard University, a good man; President John Hope of Morehouse College, Atlanta. These are good men that should be honored, and it would help our schools to be honored by these prominent men. Dr. Johnson is one of the greatest educators of America among Negroes, who is the president of Howard University. It would give honor to your National Baptist Convention to have men like those men as president. Why not be like white people, honor these great men, educators, and let them have two terms, which is four years and automatically pass out? That gives them a chance to advertise their schools and do something in a big way for the race throughout the nation. W. L. DICKSON, Pastor El Bethel Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas.

Although he is a stannish Republican, the congressman advised that colored voters, when numerous in a community or district, should vote to gather regardless of parties. "Under wise leadership this method should give them the balance of power." “Vote for the candidate must likely to stand for your rights as Nogross,” he urged. During the question period of the open forum, Mr. DePrinst visited that Cadet Parmin, the Negro boy who he appointed to West Point, was turned down or expelled on account of his color, but asserted that Parmin's dismissal was due to his failure in mathematics. The officials at the military academy were absolutely fair and impartial to the Ind, he said. He expressed his purpose to appoint another colored boy to West Point, as well as two more to the Annapolis Naval Academy. The speaker highly praised Kevin James M. Curley, a Democrat for New York, who has been appointed positions under the city government and has praised the city government and has praised the city government having some time ago "did the fight for the confirmation of Walter Cohen for a federal office in Louisiana where he was appointed in his own, the Democratic party."

EXELENTO MEDICINE COMPANY ATLANTA GEORGIA The Houston Informer superintendents and foremen, receiving yearly salaries from $3,000 to $5,000; 391,215 clerks, salespeople, etc, drawing from $1,000 to $3,000 per annum; 61,749 drivers, messengers, porters, janitors, et cetera, with annual pay checks ranging from $60 to $150. Delving deeper into this economic discussion, Mr. Holsey asserts that 3,587 shoe stores are needed to handle the business of the Negro population in this country; 5,006 men's furnishing stores; 2,954 women's clothing stores; 5,003 furniture stores; 5,802 dry goods establishments; 1,956 military emporiums; 7,767 drug stores, or a grand total of 32,075 business concerns to take care of the Negro population, indicating our argument on a conservative basis; 60,000 Houston Negroes, spending on the average of $20 per month for all purposes, spend $1,200,000 monthly, or $14,400,000 annually for the necessities of life. If our local black population is in excess of 60,000 (and The Informer believes that there are upwards of 65,000 Negroes in the metropolitan area of Houston), this large amount of money would be needed to cover the needs of these cities in Texas, whose combined population is below that of the Negro population in this city; yet these cities are operating every conceivable line of business to take-care of their various needs. The men of the dominant race have ever taken into consideration the earning and buying power of the Negro, who is regarded as the best and freest spender in this country. Realizing the fact that Negroes are spending large sums of money with concerns that cater to and serve the race in large urban centers, there is a national movement afoot, which seems to be gaining impetus, particularly in several Northern cities, to take action with both government establishments which are enjoying much of this black business. This is a step in the right direction, but we, racially speaking, must go farther and engage in all lines of business as other races are doing in this country, and then our economic status and commercial rating will help us to remedy many of the defects in our practices. Negroes in many Southern cities, and even in any number of Northern cities, are forced to suffer humiliation, embarrassment and discrimination when trading with many business concerns owned and operated by members of other races; and several of these stores have adopted an anti-Negro policy and have informed the black brother and sister that they are not desirous of their trade. Imagine a race, that spends more than one billion dollars annually for food alone, begging merchants of other races to accept and appreciate their trade! What we generally regard as racial prejudice on the part of other races is more a species of disrespect, due to the fact that the other races observe how the Negro is falling down on his opportunities and that they are not desirous of development along numerous lines conducive not only to the best interests of the black race, but of the whole social fabric. Here is much food for thought, indicating that the Negro race has a virgin territory in this country for development along business and commercial lines; for Negro business, generally speaking, is receiving precious little of this huge amount of money for development along numerous commodities which are indispensable for their physical wellbeing. Like the elephant held captive by certain hypnotic influences of his trainer, the American Negro seems to have been hulled to sleep through certain soporific conceptions prepared and dosed to him. He is now a slave, and he is forced to a consequence of his failure to realize his strength and to employ it along definite lines. for his betterment and advancement. Here, again, the ever-present question of leadership enters into the equation and looms to the fore, for too many of our leaders seem to be unable to deal with the Egypt and in selling their birthright for a mess of perilure.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS.—ROOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1930 NEGRO'S ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT Speaking recently before a forum at Kansas City, Missouri, a member of the editorial staff of the Cleveland Daily News (white) stated, in the course of his remarks, that the American Negro is destined to advance politically and socially, but that economically he is not being manifested in various sections of the country, where colored laborers are being replaced with whites and Mexicans, and where a concerted effort seems afoot to reduce Negroes to economic servitude. While we have devoted considerable time and money to the religious development of our race, and while marked progress has been made in the educational field, the Negro has not begun to skim the surface along economic lines, and here is where our salient feature. A pauper race, even with political opportunities, can accomplish very little; and as for the social side, it is absurd and preposterous to suppose or presume that an impoverished race can rise high on the social ladder. The Negro must engage in business and commerce and thereby contribute his part toward solving this vexing economic problem. He or she must have the white race has done much for the black race in providing jobs, as well as supporting and helping the race in its religious and educational program. While the Negro has not attained the full stature of a grown race, he contends that he is full-grown and as such ought to be regarded and treated as other grown races in this country; yet on the other hand we commit so many childish acts that we rewrite the Negro's story and reveal ourselves to others as either four-fishers or hypocrites. That race is sorry, indeed, which provides no places for its youth and depends, almost entirely, upon other races for its success. Wildcats Easily Defeat 'Y' Cagers Before Big Crowd The Informer is not advocating nor preaching a doctrine of racial prejudice, but rather a gospel of common sense, racial self-respet and self-improvability. That Negro is thoughtless who argues that the time has come for the Informer to take on the role of herself from other races and practice a policy of racial isolation; for such a course is not only impossible in a democratic social order, but would lead to racial suicide for the group which attempts such procedure. No race ever made enemies by looking after its own, but on the other hand the races which endeavor to help themselves along worthwhile and constructive lines will always find friends among (BY LEON A.

This was the first defeat the Y. M. C. A. has tasted in two years and kept and lead it through the games. Our religious leaders should devote more time to the economic side of the race and employ their exalted offices toward helping the race to become producers and benefactors rather than mere managers. Our educational institutions need to modify their curricula as to include some definite and well-defined courses along commercial lines, thus preparing more of our youths for service in the job market.

OR royalty may ultimately furnish the necessary facilities of higher learning, according to Regent Grane of the University of Pennsylvania, 200,000 have been received from the partial development of only about 40 sections out of the 2,000,000 acres in the region. This startling and staggering amount does not take into consideration the large sum of money spent annually by the race for other things, such as shoes, hoesie, clothing, furniture, dry cleaning, automobiles, recreation and other necessities and luxuries. On the basis of the amount spent each year for food alone, Mr. Holley sets forth the argument that this huge sum entitles the Negro race to 470,787 positions, vt: 707 major executive salaries ranging from $1,045 to $4,645 million salaries ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 million from $5,000 to $10,000, 12:41 Homely Philosophy Loyalty is a rare virtue and one of the chief attributes in cementing an association with the truth through foul weather as well as fate, when you do not understand, when you do not understand, worthy of the confidence and cooperativeness of loyalty.

F. Richardson) Notwithstanding the fact that her program got off to a rather tardy start, Madame Florence Cole-Talbert, one of the most outstanding singers of her generation and dean-elect of the Bishop College school of music, captivated and charmed her large audience at the Pilgrims' auditorium Wednesday night. It was a record-breaking audience, composed of musical lovers of both races, which crowded the spacious concert hall to reveal an evening of music; and they were supply rapid, and at the termination of the program the audience vainly strove to recall the artist, who already had been forced to respond to several encores during the evening. Mrs. Talbert chose as her opening number Mozart's "Alleluia," which she conveyed as a musical vehicle in which a rod was to be sent to the audits, but when she sang the aria, "Ritorna Vincitor," from Verdi's famous opera, "Aida," the audience literally "went wild," and the singers had to give an encore number. The aria was sung in Italian, yet so superbly was the artist's interpretation of this role, in which she starred it. It only and other Europeans countries with a company of continental artists that the audience showed its appreciation by demanding an encore. As accompanist, Miss Ernstein Jessie Covington, Houston's musical prodigy and teacher of piano at Bishop College, Marshall, rose to new musical heights and seemed to have been playing under divine inspiration, both in her accompaniment and the number, a rendere of Madam Talbert and her instrumental selections given an part of the program. These two two numbers were Balakirfe's "The Lark" and Percy Grainger's delightful composition, "Shepherd's Hey", a very taunful and spirited number which elicited an encore. In fact, Miss Covington had to refuse the second and second of her numbers. In addition, "The Russian Nightingale," by Alabieff, Mrs. Talbert demonstrated her wonderful musical training, her cadenza work being done in a marvelous and thrilling manner. The flute accompaniment in this selection, done so acceptably by Russell McDavid, youthful Houston musician, added playing novelty. In other than the brilliant number, it is needless to state that this number was encouraged. Four Negro spirituals were included in the singer's program, "I've Been In De Storm So Long" and "Give Me Jesus" by Harry T. Burleigh, celebrated Negro composer of the统一King's Spirit of the Spirit of the Spiesy and Boatner's arrangement of "On Ms Journey." All four of these selections received a big hand, Madam Talbert being recalled for the second rendition of the last number. The final number on the program "Cycling Song of the Women," "Woman," and "Woman's Wife" was exerted in typical red man costume, and no artistic and realistic portrayal was made of the audience again demanded an encore, which was "The Indian Love Song" with deafening applause and as the artist acknowledged the audience's appreciation and bowed graciously an encore, though softly futility for another encore. This musical program, which was really realist's night, was opened in the Bethlehem Settlement House in the Bethlehem Settlement House in the factory of the net receipts. Mrs. B. J. Covington, chairman, and her corps members, celebrated the notable success which attended the Guseus Fund Company. The Guseus Fund Company, race florists, decorated the stage with flowers, made cards for them, flowers, and flowers, and accompanied them. Singer and accompanist were present.
