White, acting secretary of the city conducting an investigation The so-called better class whites and some public agencies are demanding that the lynchers be punished, but it is not felt that this insistence for punishment will mean much. The Marion Chronicle has said editorially: "It is squarely up to the officers of the law to enforce the law against lynching, just as truly as it is up to them to enforce the law against murder or burglary or any other crime. If they do not do so, they will prove recurrent to their sworn duty. The lynchers went into the matter with their eyes open. They must now face the consequences of their act." Of course, all of that was true before the lynchings and the destruction to the courthouse. 35 STUDENTS QUALIFY FOR DEGREES AT HOWARD "U" Washington, D.

CHICAGO HAS NO NEGRO GUNMEN AVERS TAYLOR CHICAGO HAS NO NEGRO GUNMEN AVERS TAYLOR Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—Delegates to the annual convention of the National Bar Association which was held in Washington, D. C., have thought that every time a Chicago reason for the handcuffed beater is assigned to the Assistant State's Attorney Euclid Taylor that they were many per cent more important to him, he represented his appointment. Mr. John A. Swain, state's attorney of Cook County, who had on crime conditions in Chicago and on crime conditions in the region's related threat, "crime conditions in Chicago, while the state is exaggerated, emphasized Taxes." In support of that demurber, he presented a report on Prudential Life Insurance Company, and issued in a report of the Chicago showed that Chicago, instead of leading the country in homesides, was Chicago homicide rates in 12.3 per cent, Tennessee, shows a rate of 66.8 per cent, Birmingham, Alabama, 53.3 per cent and Jacksonville, Fla., 49.4 per cent. Chicago's homicide rate was reduced to 42.5 per cent and the 1920 rate was only slightly the average for the country. According to Mr. Taylor, who has made a special study of the Negro's connection with crime, there is no such thing known to the lawenforeing agencies of Chicago as a Negro gangster. “In the field of deliberate mass murder for profit,” asserted the prosecutor, “the Negro is unknown.” An exact relationship between economic status and crime, so far as the Negro is concerned, has been discovered by the state's attorney's office. Investigation has served to show that the Negro who was born in Chicago or who has lived there is sufficient length of time to adjust himself economically, displays a minimum of criminal tendencies, and that the problem with the criminal Negro is almost entirely with the group which has migrated from the South, which is unable sometimes either because of lack of opportunity or lack of training, to adjust itself to the new and strange economic conditions.

At the time of that battle in April, the threat was made that the Negro voters of the country would not fall under the control of the senior voter for Parker by having support at the next election.

He announced the program of simulations nearly a week prior to the primary Pickens chased Allen around the state, confronting him wherever Negro votes were to be had.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—The Friend Who Does Not Fall. The friendship of David and Jonathan has become immortalized in the world's thought. It was unique in that it occurred between two men of rival worldly interests. Jonathan was the crown prince, he first to the throne according to hereditary rights. David was heir by divine choice and arrangement. Jonathan knew this and marginally waived his natural personal rights in favor of the one he knew God had chosen. 1. Friendship Established Between David and Jonathan (18am. 18:14). 2. Love at sight (vv. 1, 2). 3. Following the interview of Saul and David, after the victory over Goliath Jonathan's soul was knit with that of David. He loved David as his own soul. While there was mutual love, this pleasing trait stands out more prominently in Jonathan than in David. 4. A covenant established (vv. 3, 4). The bringing of David into Saul's home gave opportunity for expression of love between Jonathan and David. This love resulted in the establishment of a covenant between them, the approved himself of his court robe and his equipment and gave them to David. This key was a virtual, ablication of the theme to David. H.

God honored him, on God's return from victory over the city of Jerusalem, he was met by a triumphal chorus of women of all the cities of the world, he was met by his victory over their enemy. They ascribed more praise and honor to David than to Saul. To hear the sage tell him that his victory over his own enemy was too much for Saul. It aroused numerous envy which had moved him to attempt twice to kill David. This is not an imaginary sin in counterattack may be found in many books. This dreeworthy evil is to put God fright—to think more of him and our duty and to believe that God should defend us. In Saul's third attempt to kill David, Jonathan defended him before he was killed. That David should not be beaten. II. Jonathan Dvived to David Saul's Murderer (I. Sam) The beginning of the new moon was celebrated by sacrifices and feasting, and were expected to be present (v. 5). David's cause for being absent was meant to go right before the yearly feast of the family. The annual feast was more important than the monthly feast. Matters were now important, and the family was renewed the renewed between them. In this renewal the terms were broadened, and David was made 14, 15). Saul's anger was now so forceful that for Jonathan to be found in the house, he was so out, so he deeply planned a sign by which he could make known to David that he are exposed to danger.

Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap is the one sure war to a beautiful skin By DR. WALDO J. HOWARD Houston Dentist CLEAN TEETH A few days ago one of our readers asked what consultation does any one need to have to be a good dentist, all the information and consideration given are to those with bad teeth. We have a dentist who has cleaned teeth or making a sincere effort having clean teeth, I quote the advice from the editor of Drug Topics: "Clean teeth are the symbol of a clean man and a clean woman, self-reliance, self-esteem. They give power, power, power, power." To the face cast in classic mold, add richness, elegance, strength; to the less kind, charm, joy, rapture. To the expression they give distraction, beauty, romance, witching loveliness. "To the smile lend fascination, captivation, soulful elevation. "To the laugh impart melody, exhilaration, unction. "They facilitate social intercourse, add to its delights, deepen its attachments." "They attract new friendships, Invite closer confidences, encourage warmer communion of spirit, cement loves." "In business they proclaim the man and woman of good breeding, mark the man and woman of good habits, emphasize the gentleman and gentlewoman." "In all the contacts of life, they lighten the steps, ease the way, smooth the path, glorify the day." "They make the poor richer and the rich more opulent, youth more virile and old age happier. On whatever stage we play our part, they work to our advantage." "They insure us increased health, and we protect us against heart disease, rheumatism and other lilies; help to extend our plan, gain my experience, pleaseasures, new enchantments and thrills" is then the law of compensation as promised by nature to all who need it. "They insure us good souls to whom it may do good." Conn.

Editor Houston Informer: At the beginning of this year, soon after I was elected president of the Colored Teachers' Association of Texas, I called the attention of the enclave to be our platform, our purpose, and our year's motto: "The Better of Home, Church and school." We will not be long before we shall be the leader of our community and historic city, San Antonio. The mayor, chamber of Commerce, and mayor of the city come to us and fare well during our time, and we will be the betterment of our profession and the enlightenment and the instruction of our children. the college and are used to teach students about the teachers' association, Prof. R.

Tatum, 711 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. they receive the June number. We are making all teachers to enroll now if you can, because we need the money to publish at least two more numbers before our annual meeting at San Antonio.

Some people who knew of his whereabouts have got up now which the authorities acted. I am intensely interested, as are hundreds and hundreds of others of our group, in the outcome of Negro suffrage in Texas. I think we should sit down and listen, consistently and without a minute's let-up until the ballot for the city interested. Many of them are black, and the iron while it's hot. "Nothing that I can do. If we work as we should work before the next two years will be enough to put up a bag. Let our slogan be, We want the bank and full citizenship.

Houston, Texas NEGRO YOUTH MAKES BIG HIT IN BASSO ROLE Los Angeles, Calif.—Bringing musical distinction to San Pedro, the San Pedro Colored Chorus won first place in the annual contest of colored choruses recently at the Hollywood Shows The Los Beach chorus places of second, both groups of members are directed by Elmer Bartlett of Los Angeles. Los Angeles county choruses including those from Santa Monica, Pasadena and Los Angeles besides the singers of San Pedro and Long Beach^{*} patients. The following cups were presented to the winner: A program of music and recitations was built around the competition with an ensemble of 1000 voices, many of them children's, singing folk songs of the South. Negro spirituals were selected almost exclusively by choruses and solists. Lemons of Spence, a young colored baso who has received his instruction from the Los Angeles Music School Settlement, was an outstanding soloist. Florence Cole-Talbert noted soprano, contributed solos and averted a movietone, choruses entertaining Mrs. C. Bilber, gave a leading by Paul Laurence Dunbar. Others who appeared were the Bilbrew Octet, Onta Floyd, Emmanuel Hall, A. C. Bilbrew, Frieta Shaw, J. B. Jones Movietone chorus, Melodian Movietone, et al. Studied the乐团, Gladys Wells and George Jones. Efforts are being made by the Los Angeles county groups to expand the annual chorus contest for colored singers to the entire state. Four hundred and four productions in the several Texas fields, bringing in the year to $2.555. Gas wells to the mine are brought in during the year. William Pickens SAYS OANP The preachers are occupying entirely too much space in the bad news of the front page nowadays. We ordinary sinners have not even a chance to hit the spotlight any longer. Every time a preacher starts to get married, there's a scandal; the older the preacher, the worse the scandal. Women take to preachers like they take to soldiers' uniforms, and, of course, part of the scandal is due to this presumption and misconception of the women. Every widowed preacher is the objective of a cruel manhunt. And when he decides to marry one of the beloved sisters, there are so many others offended that there is sure to be a fuss. Recently one big teacher let us look out that he was about to be married and another woman marched into his study and slapped his face and sued him for something like $100,000. To make it even, he sued her back for another $100,000 for "assault." It was needed to be�ed, as neither one of them will collect, as neither one of them ought to collect. Then that preacher "eloped," as it were, and got married to the winning lady. But we have noticed that every present year, the period and the stay for long after on the charge on which they get married. There is something deadly, persistent, and final about the poison that is injected into the female portion of the membership by the half-starred aroused when the pastor marries somebody else. Another prominent preacher was smarter. He slipped away and got married without letting it leak out first. He may get away with it. We doubt. "The deadliest of the species is the female." Another preacher got married sometime ago. There was a stiff undercurrent of resentment. At last he is moving and there are "explanations"—one set and sort of explanation from him and a different set and sort from the hostile portion of the membership. Out in the West and South a whole bevy of preachers have been arrested for graft and murder. Of course, some, maybe all, of them are innocent of murder at least, but why is the h-a or rather why in the name the Lord were they so useless to get all tangled up in a mess like that? The Lord certainly needs to look after his preachers. If he does not, we sinners are going to do it: we'll just call a meeting and have some of them turned clear out of the church. If he has a good time to get many preachers spend too much time talking hell. Now we are shocked because too many of them have begun to raise what they have been talking about. And for once we are really frightened about it, for actions such more effectively than words. God have mercy on us poor and ordinary sinners if we be in His sight even worse than this selection of his preachers. HUSBAND STAGES SHOW WHEN WIFE STAYS HOME Atlantic City, N.

He'll be coming back in a few days, and in the meantime you boys may have a breathing spell. Bill Moore has certainly worked hard this summer. Business trips have taken him to Galveston, Austin and the city. He has been more successive week-ends. See that sign on his spare tire?

FARMERS NEED COTTON PICKERS Cotton pickin in the Gulf Coast has not been the gravel unemployment situation which has gripped these sections and the gravel unemployment section or 9 months, according to C. W. Bierman, the 8-year-old executive manager of the Texas Negro Civilization. Mr. Rice has just returned to the Lower Rio Grande Valley around Corpus Christi, Robstown, Victoria, and other portions of Central Texas. He reports that due to the drought and extreme hot weather practically all cotton pickers are dead. Many thousand pickers are believed to be still great. Cotton pickin has added to the cost in some sections, notwithstanding the fact that cotton is selling chaparral has for the past 20 years, the annual cost of cotton picking low money in the cost of production. Mr. Rice has also not been the technical worker who have decreased, especially the Gold Coast, due to the tightening of the immigration law. Cotton pickin has almost all of the workers from lower Rio Grande Valley, but while the bower, mostly white, from the state grew deep from the state grew deep into Texas seeking employment and the native population that the Negro citizens now hold.

The gay young blade, Francisco Barrera of 1775 Madison Avenue, had been a boarder with the Clayton family at 61 East 108th Street. Old story, boarder got overly-friendly with landlady, who was young and pretty—husband steps in, orders boarder out. Husband Sterling Clayton and wife, Florence, take their two-year-old son, Gerling Jr., and move to another apartment. But Barrera is persistent if anything, so late one night, when husband comes home from the post-office where he is employed, he discovered wife and ex-boarder together, taking shower baths, of all things. Husband angry, goes back to job to think things over. The more he thinks, the worse he feels and suddenly, he finds an axe in his hands. So Clayton dashed back home where he again found the missus and the boarder in an even more intimate and friendly pose. Sailing into action with his axe posed, Clayton let his black ball where they would, and unfortunately for Barrera, those have fell on his head, cutting out an eye, slashing his face, and crushing his skull! Wife fled precipitately from the scene after being cut in trying to aid the injured. But Barrett was no further urging to rush screening from the house, holding his hanged man's hand. He covered him, bundled him in a taxi-cab, and took him to the hospital. Dyke arrested Clarion on a charge of felonious assault and when arraigned Wednesday before Magistrate John Court, he was held without bail. Pt.

GREGG (For The Associated Negro Press) We did not fully appreciate the great size of the Ile de France until we took lighter at Plymouth to go ashore. As we pulled away from the ship, it looked like some enormous castle floating on the waters behind us. Certainly it was like a small town; for we carried more than 1,200 passengers and a crew quite as large. Although we had been but six days aboard, it was a real pleasure to get on land again. We had to pass the customs officials before boarding the boat train for London. As we had nothing, it was to declare, we had but little trouble with the customs. On the train, Des Morris and Gomes got their first surprises. We went from Plymouth to London in exactly four hours, part of the time travelling more than seventy miles an hour. Served by the polite English waiters, we had our evening meal in the restaurant car as we hurried through the interesting countryside between Dover and Paddington station London. Beautiful, well-kept lawns and hedges, the pride of the Englishman.

Rock, Artemis." greeted our eyes; truck farms scrupulously clean of weeds, and laid out like Mosaic work, with larger farms here and there, and on a distant hill, overlooking the surrounding country, an old castle were to be seen. One's imagination could easily picture the old feudal lord with his host of retainers; a cavalcade of rollicking knights clad in armour galloping to some tournament; or the measured tread of an army going forth to battle, "in days of old when knights were bold and barons held their sway." How rudely we were brought out of those musings by the coarse call of the "Cockney" guard as he announced, "Paddington station; hall hout for London." We were met by a Cook's guide and conducted through the station gates into the whirling, noisy maw of the world's metropolis. Going to the Royal Court Hotel on Sloane Square, we were assigned to our rooms overlooking the busy traffic of the square. One could write for hours about the sights we saw, the experience we had, and the people we met. However, I shall mention but a few of them briefly. After getting in our room, although it was after nine o'clock, it was not yet quite dark, and so we mounted to the top of a bus and went down through Piccadilly Circus to Trafalgar Square, finding both places teeming with people. We purchased the European order of the New York and the Chicago Tribune, went through Charing Cross, watched the news being flashed from the top of the Times Building and went home to bed. The next three days were hectile ones for us, as we were trying to crowd into them as much as possible. In the usual American way we scampered hither and yon, giving only hurried glimpses to the most interesting places where really one could profitably spend weeks and weeks. Our first objective was to Cook's main office on Berkeley Street to secure our tickets and essential costs for the rest of the day. The most from Cooks we went to Buckingham Palace, the residence of King George, to see the famous guard mount. We mingled with the thousands of people near the beautiful war memorial directly in front of the Palace gates and saw the "red coats" go through their military maneuvers, which always attract great crowds. Our kodaks, with hundreds of others, were snipping the old固定资产 for future reference, for, strange to say, London for once was free from fog and the light was excellent for photographing. From the palace, we went through the palace, where James Palme, where the Prince of Wales lived. Naturally, I thought of the famous Horses Guard along White Street, in Cape Town. Next we saw the famous Horses Guard along White Street, in Cape Town. Next we saw the Centetah, took a picture of the street, secured tickets for a visit to the House of Parliament. We were fortunate enough to sit directly behind the Centetah, took a picture of our own congress and hear a speech by Mr. Palme. We went down behind the house to the Prince James embankment, and we saw the most noted cathedral and the resting place of his mightiest death. We saw the dust of those of the ages. We saw the early before the slim benthic which excreted his heart, which the natives of his beloved Africa expired out there where he had rendered his greatest work above him: "I can say in my mouth, come down on every one, American, and to the box open of the world, But I am taking up too much time to talk about the event, visited St. Paul Catholic climbed to the top of this monument of Christopher Brown and many other people who say a word about Paul Robinson in London.

College in the process of developing a provenance announces several major changes and improvements for the Fidic. The college department has been organized to meet the requirements of the state and national accrediting agencies with which the school is connected and application is being made for admission into several other associations. Five departments offer to the students of this college, 242 courses distributed between the agricultural, home economics, liberal arts and sciences, mechanic arts, and nurse training departments. These courses have been designed to meet the needs and demands of the students matriculating at this institution and were constructed after a very thorough investigation of the vocational requirements of the students who, according to the tabulations of the registrar, Miss Fleming, come from six states. Three major problems have been the goal of President Lee of the Florida A. and M. College. Respectively they are: the improvement of the physical equipment, a better provided quality, and the proper rating of the school, maintaining as far as possible in all these three objectives the recognized aims and intentions of the true land grant college. The extent to which each of these objectives has been attained can only be measured in a comparative manner by displaying the changes that have come about annually. ROCKDALE Rockleigh, Texas—Sunday schools were very well attended at all church services, and many students attended Sunday morning and night. At Springfield officers met Sunday evening to discuss the installation in September. There were many students in the installation, Moore, Mumphis, Tmn.

After one scene they played and choreo, and when the performance had ended they jammed the sidewalls to see him have the stage done and to bag for the performance. I do not know now the Harmon Award or the Spingarn Medal are given, but Robeson is certainly making a distinct contribution to the race, and were I permitted to do so, I would vote for him to have both. Mr. Ivan Browning of the "Harmony Kings" is also making a name for himself and his organization. He came Sunday morning in his beautiful car and took us to City Road Chapel for services. We heard a fine sermon by a preacher from New South Wales; went out into the churchyard to visit the tomb of John Wesley who said, "God buried his workman, but carries on his work;" spent some time in the Wesley home looking over some of the intimate treasures that are dear to the heart of all Methodism and then went to the graves of John Bunyan and DeFoe in the cemetery across the way. We had tea at the home of the Brownings and there met again the chilling Mr. Brownings and their sweet little daughter. Mr. Gaye of the singer of the chilling Mr. Gaye, came to see us. After a drive about the city we decided to meet a friend of our group in London; we returned to our hotel for the night, leaving the next day for Paris. PAGE SIX BIG BULLY OR BIG BROTHER; WHICH? By P. L. PRATTIS (Staff Correspondent For ANP) Haiti has many faults and defects, which I intend to consider in future articles, but undue emphasis has been placed on them. Although I do not propose to criticize, it seems that most American writers, discussing Haiti, have rather felt that some apology was necessary for America's presence in the black republic, and have made eager use of whatever was wrong, by their standards, in Haiti. Few American writers give equal importance to Haiti's rights as an independent, sovereign nation. There are two classes of Haitians, an illiterate, docile mass of peasants, numbering nearly two and one-half millions, and an educated, spirited elite group of not more than 50,000. But there is not a member of either class who wants to sacrifice the independence of his nation, regardless of what is wrong with it. Haiti is in many respects unacquainted to the offender the yellow coat. This country has been off the yellow coat more than 156 years ago, aided by eight hundred soldiers. New years later, Haiti fought for and won freedom for the slaves and its independence of Haiti. Haiti was the most active force for Jamaica. Petition of Haiti supplied Boliver with money and ammunition and his soldiers and placed them in the battle for freedom. Today America is full of faults. Haiti is military rotten, civic service is corrupt, mob rule in all sections of the country, public and private life is so much such as culture, in the country, that the people of Haiti supplie that the people of the United States would welcome an invader of any person who would bring his guns to our principal cities to keep us safe. He thought comes that the United States is a wonderfully big and rich country. Any person who is just as proud of his country's independence and what it means to be a Frenchman, or Italian, or Danne, America has ignored Haiti's new creed or that reason, most of the people of America. I can't blame them to the United States, who come to Haiti For fifteen years, the United States maintained the sovereignty of Haiti. A group of twenty distinguished American lawyers who investigated the case of the foreign policy force in Haiti for the Foreign Policy Department there was clear evidence there was clear violation of international law. Every move by the United States in Haiti was taken in the independent force, was backed by force. Its invasion, was backed by force. Haiti was obtained by force. The second treaty was obtained by force and the treaty under which the United States is now in Haiti, and proposes to re-enter the country. The treaty, and does not derive properly out of the original treaty which was forced upon a small nation by a big, powerful nation. The present Haitian constitution was forced upon the people of Haiti to abide by the customary traditions of the nation. America has never been able to force the people of Haiti in any lawful, representative body of people, of the eponant the president. An American officer went so far as to chase from their meeting place, at the point of a gun, the members of the government. Each morning when the president calls out the back window of his palace, the American flag, flying over the American island, invites the nationals for Hawaiian bounties, but which are now occupied by American marines. Hawaiian soldiers are quartered in the buildings intended to construct behind the buildings intended to the United States has had Haiti on her back and has been telling her to step crying while slipping in to "quit your crying" the United States has insisted; "I want to help you.

She has not deplete already amassed within the republic, her people are as happy, more happy than dour; and, despite such as we have in the United States, we can convince the vocal element of the Hawaiian population that she intends to conquer Haiti in the same way that she does of England, or Germany, or France. The 25-story Professional Tower building is the largest recent building project at Dallas, making the seventh skyscraper to be started or projected in the current year. Kerrville's gas system is complete with 118,000 feet of mains serving the city. Different from most cities, Kerrville receives its gas in liquid form, butane, shipped in tank cars from Oklahoma and then transformed into gas at the Kerville plant for introduction into the mains. More Texas towns are getting new hotels. A 123-room hotel, projected at Beeville, Grand Salina is to have a $25,000 hotel in connection with its 123-room hotel to have a 10-room hotel. Work way on a $25,000 hotel at Beeville. he says that much of the 100 messes one observes is rather on the part of foreigners, principally Americans, than of Frenchmen. True, the Frenchman may have a different code of morals than our own, but a deal of the "staff" he has on the part of the foreigners is not really to say that most of the drunkenness, hilarity and right-down priggishness one sees is on the part of Americans, but, thank God, they are not Negro Americans at that. It would take volumes to properly describe Versailles, the palaces of the French kings and the Napoleons.

The Littoral's Ackerman soldier. How pleased we were to find our gold star mothers there, led by Mrs. Laura Newton of South Carolina, laying a wreath on the soldier's grave. As they turned from the arch to their cars we were soon recognized by some who knew us, and you may well imagine what a pleasure it was for us to meet them, as well as many of our group who live in Paris and others who were visiting at the time. Among those who knew were Sirs, and Mary, the other of P.O.S.

It is rather encouraging to see how France welcomed mothers of the Negro soldiers who died in the defense of their country. A French general with his staff was on hand to receive them and every honor of a grateful country was accorded them. Even our own representatives over here gave every consideration possible. General Pershing with officers of lesser rank expressed America's debt of gratitude for those black men who upheld so bravely the honor of old glory. The Paris editions of the New York Herald and the Chicago Tribune told the French that America regards her Negro soldiers with pride. We thought if those name great dalies in America would only lead the American press as a whole to give voice to that same sentiment, our boys over here would not have fought and died in vain. One gets the idea in America that Paris is just one big seething caldon of vice, sensuality and immorality.

HUNTER Medical Term* SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER The TRUTH ABOUT THE GREAT FREDERICK DOUGLASS REDERICK Dickiess is not only the most eminent of colo- red Americans but he is one of the greatest figures the Fored Americans but he is one of the greatest figures the United States has yet produced. None of the great national heroes, Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Jackson, came from so low and degraded depth as he, all these were born free. Douglass was born a chattel; he had to achieve his freedom, before he became a man. "At Another Time Four of Them Jumped on Him at Once" THE BATTLE "No fewer than fifty . . . stood by and saw this brutal and shameful outrage and that one's face was beaten and bastored most horribly." And in spite of the height to which Dougain rose, he had never had a man's chance. But his greatest chance was that time did he ever cause fighting to assert that fullest measure of manliness was his divine right. Helped Save the Union Douglas played a very important part in saving the Union. Who knew that the war would have ended earlier, the war would have ended the Ensignation, the part an played by the Anaconda, the part an played by the McCoy. The following except for Douglas, Robert dated August 17, 1864, will throw some light on this assertion. Douglas relied on the rebellion the physical force which the colonel and promptly preached the pressure and promptly coming administration can save the enemy the hundred and thirty, forty or fifty thousand colder per cent. "At A "No fewer than fif and laborers, and we cannot longer maintain the contest. "The party who could take a preside- dence, would of necessity lose the colored force; and that force being lost it would be an empowered to power the thing," he said in a speech, "that is to say, according to Lincoln's own words, it was the 1864 Negro soldiers that turned the title of the war to the white. Now it is Douglas who was the first to advocate the use of colored soldiers, a step which Lincoln op- posed. Douglas Faced Great Handicaps No child living in any civilized country could survive on an estate in Douglas's hands encountered by Douglas. Born in Birchwood, 1838 on an estate in Birmingham, Douglas was a captive of the time, and as he himself related, was a deserved winner of the marsh. He also suffered intensely from the cold, his only garmament summe and white being a long shirt and a cap. Of an Extremely Sensible Nature When a baby, he was taken from the mother. Later he fell to the care of his Amy Kate, who ill-treated him when he lived there. Douglas lived were also ignorant and cruel the upper whites on the slaves. As to his mother, Harriett, he saw her curly hair, and twisted it away. In order to see she he had to steal away after she had worked her away. In order to see her he had to work in the garden or be work in the garden at the suffering of the sun. She died when he was eight. Of eight, young Frederick was very much affected by the sufferings of his people. He would old men batten to death by gruff swordplay, young girls beheaded and colored girl textured by jealous and hysterical men, so they rhyde him himself to withhold the privilege of beating someone else. "As I grew older," he says in his studio, "we had more filled with a sense of my wetcheadness. The unkindness of Aunt Katy, the hunger and the cold of wrongs and outrage with the wrongs to my ears, together with what I daily witnessed, me to wish that I had a condition with that of the blackbirds in whose wild and sweet songs I condition with that of the blackbirds in whose wild and sweet songs I condition with that of the manager of the plantation. Mrs. Auld, a rather tender-labored man had him in touch with his first pair of trousers and made him the manager of the damp dirt floor, cabin, he now walked on carpets. He was warned to Read. One of his earliest ambitions was to teach the mistress to teach him. Not knowing that she would be breaking the law she gladly consented; but one any Another Time Four Latter, astonished, scolded her severely, and forbade any more lessons. “Teach him to read,” shouted Auld, wrathfully, “and you’ll unfit him to be a slave. Learning will spoil the best Negro in the world. He should know nothing but the will of his son, and he will be so long to think you know he’ll be wanting to write and he’ll be running away with himself.” Auld's words almost broke the heart of the young slave. But they proved to be a turning-point in his life. They caused a new and powerful revelation to sink deeply into his soul, never to be so, so he has to be as well as he realizes as perhaps nothing else could have done, the value of knowledge. He said to himself: “I see now what is the most direct path to freedom,” and deep within he made this solemn vow: “Knowledge I mean to have.” Thereafter he printed a letter became almost magical in its value to him as a greaterer bit of old newspaper as others do bank-notes. Young people today with books to be had for the asking, can have no idea how Douglas would have envied them. From these bits of paper he would spell out the words as best he could do, and he was now to do so, and the times using running to let his white playmates help him. At times Mrs. Auld would espy him, and stamping and storming "in the utmost fury" would snatch away the book or paper. All of this served to whet his determination, and the years later at the time they catch-each can method it could send, fliently. Fences and Pavements for Copy Books It was in an old book that we lessen inquiries that he learned to write. While firing a bole in a shipyard in Bailor Bay, he used to mark letters on the timber according to the part of the ship for instance. For instance stairways would be marked "S," boarded "L," and so on. Between the showpiece of coal he would have available material, and later when he met the white boys would challenge them to see who could make the best stairway. "With my playmates for my teachers," he says, "fences and pavements THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1930 for my copybooks, and chalk for my pen and ink, I soon learned to write "Stealing used copybooks, he would copy the matter in the unused space. At night in the kitchen loft, with a flour barrel as a desk he would copy from the Bible and the hymn book, all at the risk of being soundly whipped. Lincoln's efforts to get an education, great as they were, were almost nothing compared with the struggles of Douglass. Another important event in his life occurred when he secretly bought a "Columbian Orator," with money earned at blacking shoes. Now he read the mighty orations of Chatham, Pitt, Fox and Burke until his own ambition was fanned to white heat. A Brutal Master At this time happened what seemed to him a disaster, but it was only a small task. His master, Colonel Lloyd, and he was sent for to be valued with the big estate in the property, it is true that he was returned to the Audus but the fact that he had been treated as a man of many thoughts settled, wounded him to the core. His life at the Audus was not to be the same. Owing to a family row, he found himself under Cap. Cunningham, hard and brutal individuals, whose piety did not prevent his descending on the shaves at prayer meeting and our of Them Jump As to Mrs. Rowena Auld, she was not only unkind but stingy as well. She gave Douglas barely enough money to keep him alive, and to make him keep his head in the water. She kept the key of the meat house in her pocket. "Bread and meat were Douglas while I was famishing. Driven by hunger he would steal the meat and eat it, where the shaves were better fed for a few morsels. For this he would be driven instead of showing, repeat, expose. Douglas took no pain to conceal his resentment at the thawing. He decided that he would break in. Living far away was a poor reason named Covey, who had no things. Masters had been known of things. Covey was free of charge for a year. When they were returned they would be thoroughly tamed. To Covey was the Trainer. To Douglas gladly went. In this new place he at least hoped to get enough Covey was a 'round-shouldered, with a thin wishbone, middle height and strong.

But his spirit was far from being dragged by the team, and with him by the leg, trying to the him with a rope, he sighted Fight. Correctly, Higgen, came railing to him. aid, but Douglass rising to his feet hurled his six feet of lusty young manhood at Hughes and bearing him to the earth, pammelled him, then turning to Covey he pounded him with his fists until he was dragged off by a slave woman. Stirr Insurrection To strike the master meant death, even when he seemed welcome to welcome. He was a man of great talent. To his surprise, however, Cowey plowed an object about him. Cowey could fight and finally his purse, if ever the dog got hurt. He never tried to beat him. Six months later he was hired to another master, but still unattended, he was beaten. He was beaten by Patrick Henry. "Give me liberty or give me," but betrayed by one of them, he was beaten to death. After he spent several weeks in there he was released at. He was then sent to a shipboard to learn cankling. He was then instructed to order several men who would send cuffing him, then under the orders of several men who would send cuffing him when he did not move fast enough. Once one of them after another plowed the ball, the eye, nearly bursting the ball. At another time four of them snrang on him at once.

He was being trained in a hard school indeed. is it any wonder that later he lacerated his own hand, Ack took him away from the shipyard not out of sympathy but because his property was stolen to turn over this money to his master galled him, and made him not far away was Pennsylvania. If he could only reach Philadelphia he would get to get there. The regulations on both the railways and the steamships for even a free Negro to get a ticket. Such a one had first to present his papers which were carefully examining. At last Douglass succeeded in getting uniform and passport, and decided to dom. to avoid having to buy a ticket he waited until the train had started To hill suspicion he had learned the sailor's finger, and swapped like one, and described the man's description on the passport did not seem much darker. Besides there was the possibility of meeting someone who had taken his passport and such persons: a ship captain with whom he had talked to a day or two before, and a German ship carpenter with whom he had talked to a day or two before, and a man who did not recognize him, and the second said nothing. A day later he was in New York Free at last! This was September 5. No, he did not pay the man but the danger was not yet past. There was the fugitive slave law, and the masters had Negroes up the North he took you for runners. Jodgers, too, must paid $10 a head for a job in New York he worked at above-ground coal or anything he could get to sell. At the trade, he went to the shipments at New Bedford, Mata. But the price the job offered was worked off. Acquires Second name : His duty was to keep it hot enough to keep the metal running. This was done by pumping a heavy pair of bellows. Now, while pumping the bellows he nailed a newspaper to a nearby post and read it as he worked. With freedom, he had been spending every spare moment in study. Up to this time he had had but one name, his Christian one. He had long been inspired by the noble character of Douglass, in Scott's Marmion, and he took that as his surname. About this time, too, he met a free colored woman, named Anna Murray. Later he married her. While in New Bedford he read also the Liberator, an anti-slavery paper edited by William Lloyd Garrison Garrison's motto was: "Color prejudice is rebellion against God." This was the feeling of Douglass, precisely the third year passed during which he studied hard. Then came a very important period in his life. An anti-slavery convention was being held at Nantucket, and he went to it. As it was known that he was an escaped slave, he was called on to speak. ance" He had never addressed an audience before and he began stammeringly, but as he spoke he gathered momentum until he was pouring out a thick stream of tears and had never beard from any slave before it; it was coming from the depths of his heart and heartbreak. The effect exceeded anything that Douglas had expected. The crowded congregation of his friends had "been wrought up almost to enthrancement as he turned over the terrible apocalypse of his exile, and he was listening to a thirst of property, or a man." A "man a man" man" shouted the adience. "Shall such a man be sent back to chastisse?" demanded Garrison. No, a thousand times No. Sooner the lightnings of Heaven shattered Binker's heart, "shall I be present shall be present on another." The value of this realised value of his life was good to have white men plead for the freedom of an intelligent slave of such fire and commanding appearance do it. Garrison engaged him as a lecturer A new and powerful force had come into the field, Garrison and his fellow left that convention affirmed to mightier efforts in the cause of right economics. In the concluding half of this great story, Mr. Rogers will deal with "Dougless, the People," and champion left that convention. He will tell graphically how Dougless crushed the force that would have crushed him.

WALKER'S WONDERFUL HAIR GROWER RANSOM TELLS ABOUT SALE OF VILLA LEWARO Indianapolis, Ind.—F. B. Ransom, manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., on being asked about the reported plan to sell the Villa waro, had the following to say: "The Villa Lewaro was erected and furnished at a cost of approximately $400,000. The cost of the grounds, plus the $25,000 roadway that was built, and the garage, brought the total cost up to a half million dollars. Aside from the gardens, the swimming pool and other modern improvements, there are four and one-half acres included in the estate, making it one of the most attractive and beautiful estates in that section of the country. "The will of the late Mme. C. J. Walker provided that the Villa Lewaro should go to her daughter, A. T. L. lia, as a life estate. Upon her death it was to go to such of our Negro institutions as were doing most for racial uplift. We have kept the villa standing since the death of Mme. C. J. Walker, over eleven years ago. It has been occupied by the daughter for other things, week-end visits, as she has always preferred to copy her city home, 108-110 W. 188th Street, and her modern and expensive apartment on Edgecombe Avenue, spending part of her time in Indianapolis where she has extensive real estate holdings." The Mine. C. J. Walker Mfg. Company has at all times maintained a kitchen, a dining room, a butter, gardener, etc., because we would think it would have an estate in the country unless it was properly maintained and country unless it was properly maintained, especially in the light of the fact that such upkeep has very expensive upkeep by a residence by Mine. A.Lella Walker. "Mine. A.Lella Walker recently developed to occupy the village as a home, there was no occasion for keeping it large. We have kept open house the organizations and clubs; organizations and clubs; there is no longer a show place. For that reason son Mine. A.Lella Walker decided to rent the house, which she can get her price for the house.

H. P. Jones of the same city. The former bishop of the 3d Episcopal District of the C. M. E. Church, and the latter a leading minister of the A. M. E. Church. They left today for points in Germany, Holland, Belgium and France. While in the city, Bishop and Mrs Phillips had the honor of staying in the home of Mr. Emanuel Lang, one of the family that has made the Passion Play unique in the religious history of the world. Owing to the pressing American engagements, Bishop Phillips was forced to forego the invitation and rare honor of the Rev. Dr. McNeal to preach for him in London last Sunday. The latter it will be remembered is pastor of City Road Chapel, Methodist Church, London, England. This is the historic church formerly pastored by the Rev. John Wesley, founder of world-wide Methodism PAGE SEVEN Negro Legislator Seeks Reelection In Buckeye State Cleveland, Ohio.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Perry B. Jackson, the only persons of his race to be numbered among the 169 members of the Ohio legislature, faced the first hurdle in his campaign for reelection Tuesday. August 12, in the Republican primary. He is a candidate at large and the voters of his race are, therefore, being urged to throw him their full support in order to make up for the vote advantage which his white opponents will have over him in the white sections of the county. Mr. Jackson has received the in- dorsement of the principal civic organization in Cleveland, including that of the Citizens' League, composed of the leading citizens of greater Cleveland, which said of him: "He has a thoroughly good personal professional reputation; he was an attentive and conscientious member of the house; deserves renomination on his record." His record includes attacks on segregation policies at the state university; frustration of the move to repeal sections of the general code making it a criminal offense to incite to more violence and rioting, and the race-careful demand that the words "race or color" be eliminated from the new election code. WILEY WILDCATS BEGIN PRACTICE Marshall, Texas—The 1939 football officiated September 1, when Coaches Fred and Harry Logg and members of this year's eleven in their initial practice. For the past three seasons, they have worked on Labor Day, and their efforts thereafter have found a success, it is safe to say that the same day they begin their success continues. Captain Price Young, Bob Wilson, the leading members of last year's team host by graduation, but reports indicate that the intentions of not returning or have been three years in being paid any of these rumors, and the Wiley coaches and letter men on the first. Captain Garrett, Gray and Bubby ends; Combe, center, John Davis, David and the reserves of last year will form the backbone of what should be another Of last year's reserves, great things are happening.

These, with about forty other players, will begin the match on Labor Day to begin preparing for the aftest schedule ever a Wiley. Another international game has been added to the schedule, and the game will be met in Jackson, Mississippi on December 6, giving the Cata eleven tough games for the season. The Houston Informer Such statements may seem not worth the paper and the ink which are required to make them a part of this paper; but there can be little doubt but that some of the present plight of the race in these hard times is due in no small part to such thinking. It is not only that the Negroes are true that color plays little part in the decision where efficiency is the desired thing. Negroes are not persecuted because they are not white, but because they are white waiters could not have replaced the Negro servants of the old days had color been the only consideration. This is a fundamental truth and one which has direct bearing on whether the streets today might have still been employed had they realized that any job is the best job in the world when there is a need to make them a part of this paper; and that any job that is worth doing to the best of one's ability. THE NEGRO DEMOCRATIC CLUB When the small group of Houstonians began by Julius White, C.A. Glimser and others began agitation for inclusion in the Democratic Primary, there were many who scouted at the idea. The group was not alone in their efforts, and what could not be done. But somehow or the other the idea has "gone over big" and now that group sees the successful calcination of their hopes in the carrying of the fight to the Supreme Court of the United States. And how has it happened? The group has given their desire and desire for its progress can be found in a consideration of the way in which men of all walks of life have joined their strengths to this effort and have given unstinted of their time and energy to the putting over of this tremendous program. Doctors have taken the opportunity to be a part of the movement. Pastors have given of the time for their services to the pleas of the speakers for this movement and have encouraged their congregations to contribute to this cause. The local musical organizations of the city have contributed their services to the movement and to be a part of the changed appointments. in order that they might be of service to this cause. It is good that this is so. "He who would be, selfless, must strike the blow." And right well has Negro Houston answered that the people of Houston are with all American citizens and without which no individual, race or group can hope to maintain its place in the scheme of American things. Certainly this beginning is creditable; and whether this effort wins or not, it is more than commendable that the people of Houston have the ability to work together has been so amply demonstrated here. The Informer is of the opinion that this should be but the beginning of the fight to win our suffrage in all cases where there are public servants to be chosen or where there are public questions to be answered. We must help to determine who our mayors and sheriffs will be. We must become a potent force in our local government. For while there may have been generosity among the officials of Houston, as far as Negro rights were concerned, such allowances for Negro needs were not made. We must suffrage and contribution to the success of the city; they were based rather upon other considerations of less permanence and more subject to change. Let the effort continue. Let it be founded in such ambition to with that a series of actions that would strive for the objective of freedom and the right to vote. And there can be no doubt but that every person who has given his time, money or energy to the success of this movement as far as it has gone must have made contribution to the future of his race and to the perpetuation of the democracy on which this nation is supra- founded. LEARNING FROM THESE HARD TIMES For many years there has been an attempt in America to instil the fundamentals of thrift in all citizens regardless of class in America. Radio program, have set forth the best methods of teaching the fundamentals of thrift, and have done an after column on how best to handle the money earned by American families. Schools have included in their curricula some lessons on money and money handling; in these times the students have learned to handle money and in some cases is not yet. Families have found themselves out of means for obtaining even the necessities of life. Jobs have been few and many, and the money they will witness such suffering as has been seen but few times in the whole history of this country. Many Negroes have already felt the pinch of these times. Many of them have them. Many wonder if there is any way out. But it is a question that needs to be answered enough to help them in another crisis of the same sort. There will be many who will not date their time of suffering back to the days of desire to make preparation for the powerful "fanny day." But it is a question that needs to be answered extravagance in days of good jobs and lacks of the essentials in these lean days. But all of such sort may well realize that, in the days of thrift, we have been some preparation against the day of lessened earning. The farmer who owns his own land and who has been unwilling to work to have an extension agent to teach thrift in his property, will be better off than to discuss about the canning of fruit and vegetables, is no better off than the worker in the city who has bought a second hand automobile living in a rented house when houses could have been bought. The value of doubtful living to him. And both of them are no better off than any other person who have failed because of lack of the desire to study to improve their conditions. Those who are not willing to study to improve their conditions, there will be a sufficiency of adversity within the next few months from which all may learn. It does not often give the farmer a chance to be public to the need, particularly on the part of Negroes, to give more thought to tomorrow while prosperity is present. It ures that there be more stress laid on thrift in individual lives as well as in the community, so we learn more definitely to "prepare for want in time of plenty."

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHEB HIS BLOOD FOR BREATH, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO GIVE A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWEEK, IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS. ROSEVELT HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1930 SUMMER CLASS AT PRAIRIE VIEW Slightly more than two weeks ago more than one hundred persons received degrees at the close of the midsummer term at Prairie View State College. Principal Banks expressed himself as pleased for the first time at the type of work which had been done by this class which met all of the requirements of the courses of the school. The class contained several persons well past the prime of life. Several men and their wives stood to the right of the room, and the class of the have had many years of experience as teachers in the various parts of the state; and the study which they completed was the result of a desire to meet the demands for increased preparedness in teachers; a thing which has become the rule in Texas schools. Certainly there is food for much thought in the contemplation of the future. And in this contemplation hope is found for the future of Negro schools and Negro school children in Texas. There is room for much commendation of the type of constructive work which is being done by the principal and faculty of the school in Texas. And in this contemplation the curricula of the institution. And finally there is room for commendation of The State of Texas which, though not to the extent which could be desired, nevertheless, is making possible the for the thorough education of Negroes at the expense of the State. The increased contribution to society of more than one hundred Negro teachers who have had contact with the most modern and the best in education cannot now be estimated. But any one who has seen the archaic methods and the almost savage procedures of the past will be surprised by the modern class and in the knowledge that it is but the first of a series of such classes which will come out from this school, to be thankful for the coming of a day of progress like this and to do his bit toward encouraging the persons and the agencies which are instructed to teach the students, to change the changed, and the Houston Informer most heartily endorses the change and hopes that the evidences mentioned here are but the first signs of the coming of a completely new day in which all of the schools devoted to higher education and especially the one in the South have a great opportunity to full train of all who seek to prepare themselves to meet the challenges of this new American day. SHALL NEGROES KEEP THEIR JOBS "The panic is on"! These are the words heard more often as one passes the large crowds of unemployed along the streets of the city, and the people of the city are very significant that in these crowds, the percentage of Negroes is related to proving the age old adage to the effect that "Negroes are the last to be hired and the first to be fired." Many of us who think over a day and a day of life, being brought face to face with the letting of from the ten five hundred Negroes who heretofore have been considered as integral parts of the concerns which have employed them for the whole of our business, this letting out of the fact that "they were Negroes". But there is no method to do so, and it is in the contemplation of this other side to the question. And it is in the contemplation of this other side that The Informer feels that there is great advantage for the setting up of our future procedure, The owner and operators of the majority of the larger concerns of the average city and that we had been employing members of other races. Let us suppose that times were hard, as they now are; that business is not as low as they would be, but it has overhead, as most concerned that we must do; what could we all overdue? Would the love of race not force us to keep those of our own blood, provided they were efficient and let the others go? If we were to be in the separation of the field from the unit among those who had been "on the job" would be a lot from the whole who had been "on the job" most regularly and would we not keep those who had not, had so many picnics to do and so many reasons that did not doing the job as it should have been done. Some of the infoers of the people who are in the state of plan statement of the case, at the same time that it causes some difference of opinion among those who have been in the case of thinking rather biasedly on this sort of question, will do good and it therefore presents this sort of a discussion of the question. Cleanliness Essential To Successful Camping BY ALGERONN B. BACKSON, M. D. (For The Associated Negro Press) Hygiene and sanitation standards Camping in the open is a pleasant and helpful way to spend a vacation Hiking is a great way to enjoy Don't start on a trip if you are worried or annoyed by some minor alliances or chirpistion if necessary, or you are likely to run your own vacation, as well as that of your companion Negroes in the mass have thought too little of the importance of a job. They have been too ready to declare that "I don't have any job, nor nobody." They have been too prone to feel that "if this job is not done, I will die." That every Negro who holds any job of any sort, in so far as he does or does not do his work well, is either a good or a bad advertisement for the whole race. They have thought too lightly of the things with which they were connected. If they have added the wrong person, seen it to give such notice that their employers could secure other help without some trouble. They have not thought of others among them who might well fit into the job. And seldom has a Negro thought enough to recommend others of the race for the places where they might be quitting and taken the pains to "break them in" before they left. Select a wandrobe designed to meet all emergencies and all kinds of weather conditions, comfortable for biking or climbing, a lightweight outfit for sundry days, warm wraps for cool evenings and nights, and a lightweight sweater that does not need loosening. In order to get the most good out of your wandrobe, the standards of apparel have been sanitation that you observe at home. Remember, a swim is not a bath. At home, you should thoroughly with soap and if possible warm water, even if your bathhit is only a basin. You want to keep cool in hot weather don't dry your skin. You should cover yourself with a light wrap or sheet and lie down for a while in cool, comfortable place. Don't hesitate to wash your hair as often as you think it is necessary. You can wash it in summer that no amount of careful washing can do to harm them. If you can't take an all-over bath, warm water. You will find it very refreshing, especially after a long period of sitting and expiration and dirt that clip to the skin will not only make you uncomfortable, but also cause body odor. That also applies to the clothing that comes in contact with water. The Negro Faces the Fall Campaign By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D.C. The off-year campaign is now on. The ins and view striving desperately to stay in, while the outs are equally determined to get in. The party in power always arrogates to itself a monopoly of political vitness, while its adversary imputes to its more lucky rival all of the vices which give me to existing ill. There are the demystified divestitures of the Democratic and Republican parties. The only essential difference consists in the relative administrative efficiency of the rival political organizations. In this contention, the Republican party easily outstands its adversary. On this score those who favor good government and efficient administration must perforce fall in with the grand old party which, in the main, has skillfully guided the ship of state during the past seventy years. President Hoover is undoubtedly the most skillful captain to guide this ship amidst the troubled waters of this perilous times. INVESTING F PROFIT By CARTER W. WEST So many people say, "I vest but I am afraid I'll money." One must always admit that the element of not only the element of the Under normal conditions ours is a bi-partisan type of government. But in times of danger and distrust, it is important to have a strong presence in the Civil War under Lincoln, and in the World War under Wilson. The desired outcome of the titanic industrial and economic issues with which our nation and indeed the whole world are engaged, has serious consequences to our national destiny as either our fraternal or foreign war. In this emergency, patriotism demands the laying aside of man-made weapons and the should fall in behind President Hoover in his statemanlike program of economic and industrial reconstruction at least for the remainder of his tenure. We must reaffirm our farm relief, tariff adjustments, unemployment, prohibition, the alignment of labor and capital, the slump in the stock market, and the devastation of the drought demands this partisan government to take control of the World War. Dr DuBois, the Negro apostle of agitation and protection, urged his race to close ranks for greater grievances and in solidarity for William Wilson, the captain of the hosts. The Negro voter then faces the approaching campaign distracts between two great political parties with outdistinct issue. The great Rebuttal is the one that elicits empathy in capably named and capedated, but so far as the poor black man is concerned, it mute and devolvedal. This leaves him absolutely free to choose between candidates on the basis of race, color, religion, which he deems of greatest moment to the racial weal. In my mind the decisive criterion would be found in answer to the query: "Are you or dry to die?" A. C. P. is our only organization with an avowed purpose and policy in the present rupture of things. Their object is purely vindictive, with the belief that political repression and revenge will hinder such politicians with an eye to the main chance. I command their motive, reason, and in view, but must suggest an alternative. The motive must be used skillfully and potentially it must cause both Republicans and Democrats to ignore all the mistakes and make it not of effect. INVESTING FOR PROFIT BY CARTER W. WESLEY So many people say, "I would invest but I am afraid I'll lose my money." One most always, frankly admit that the element of risk can not be entirely eliminated from any single investment. Though knowledge of the factors working in the investment field is of importance, this alone won't guarantee the safety of an investment. A company may be safe today and in a bad way a year hence. Until very recently, whenever one of the so-called successful investors died and the vault was opened, there were usually worthless stocks and bonds among the many good ones. It is said that even the great Hetty Green had millions of worthless securities in her vault. Those who point out that we have expected too much from knowledge and human judgment, claim that proper diversification affords certain safety. They mean that if, using knowledge and judgment to select investments that seem safe, the investor will buy in different kinds of businesses and in many different localities, the average will always show a profit. Today, the advised investor weeds out investments that go bad and buys elsewhere. He knows that he only needs to keep his money diversified. On the other hand, no one should be afraid of any one company. The element of risk is always present. However, the risk is greater for companies that have a larger number of properties. Distributing the investment takes care of the unintended risk, it is easier to mitigate the risk than to maximize the number of properties. Effective investment affect all investments. As indicated above, diversification can be made in the investment process. The character of the industry or corporation doesn't take much reflection to show that all of his money is a risk by putting all of his money in companies in one industry. The destroyed fortunes that would have been distributed over the assets had been distributed over the assets were wiped out. Those who limited their field of investing to FoMo had less risk and droughts and pests also affect the fortunes of people whose funds are tied to the industry. Panies usually affect all parts of a country. So geographical distribution is important in different kinds of industries. In pennies, government bonds and public industrials. In prosperous times, industries run north and south, and some east and west. Crop failures in the pennies run north and south, while crop failures in the West affect the railways run north and south, while one field is suffering, the other four may be doing fine. The company put stop to taking all their money in one thing. Many say, "Well, I had only a little $100. No fund is too small to distribute. The smaller the fund, the more important is coming to see a dumb-bell put all his money in the bank fails, and then he must great less." When anyone admits that all he had was in a bank, he can carry a hard wallet wealth. Don't leave yourself at the mercy of any one corporate entity, all your eggs in one basket. Homely Philosophy We should steer clear of those who nag, fault-find and repine, and seek the company of those who are hopeful, cheerful and courageous, in this way we reinforce our own depleted powers. Persons of the first group undermine our own fortresses and leave unflaced, inert or on edge, while those of the second group rekindle our faith and ambition and leave us with a new joy and zest in life. Our goal is greatly affected and oftimes determined through the influence of the company we choose to companion us. Since last August Graham has put down more than five miles of street paving. ... Hughes Tool Co. is to build a $150,000 plant at Midland ... Two Texas towns, heretofore without railroad transportation facilities, are now served by rail lines—Sonora by the Santa Fe and Van, East Texas oil town, by the Texas & Pacific. ...
