INDIA
TROOPS REACH SCENE IN TIME TO HOLD UP MOB
St. Genevieve, Mo.—(INS)—After three days of continuous guarding of the only two Negro families left after alleged confession of two men and a woman, the militia, called out by Governor Henry Caulifield, has returned to its barracks. Mob action threatened early Monday after it was announced that J. B. Lee, 28: Guy Taylor, 28, and Mrs. Vera Rodgers, 30, had confessed to the murder of Harry Pan-chot and the serious wounding of Paul Bitter near here Sunday night. All of these under arrest are Negroes.
Practically the entire Negro population of more than 100, had left town Monday night, following the confession.
The only two Negro families left here were guarded Monday night by militia called out by Governor Henry S. Caulifield, at the request of Sheriff Zelger, to prevent mob action, which he said threatened for a time.
The three confessed they shot and killed Pan-chot, a lime kiln laborer, and wounded Ritter and threw him into the Mississippi river, in the course of a holdup. They admitted throwing rocks at him when he attempted to swim to shore.
From the Hillboro jail, where they first were taken, they were taken to St. Louis for safekeeping. Sheriff Zelger said he believed the feeling here had lessened during the day and while national guardmen from De-Soto and Gestus patrolled the town, no further threat of mob action was expected.
Ritter is in a St. Louis hospital, suffering from a bullet in the abdomen and a possible skull fracture as the result of being stoned by the Negroes while he was in the water.
Governor Cauliffe's action in calling out the two national guard companies was hastened by a message from the commission for interracial cooperation of Atlanta, Ga., taking him to "take steps to save Missouri and the South from the blot of another, or lynching."
The national guard unit at Cape Girardeau was also called but was demobilized shortly afterward upon word from St. Genevieve authorities no more trouble was expected.
NEGRO SAVED FROM LYNCHERS
Marion, Ind.—(INS)—Herekesh Burden, who shot and wounded severely two policemen here recently has been removed to the state reformery to prevent possible mob violence. Robert Cannon, step-on of Burden, is also in the reformatory, having been saved from a mob in August after his two companions had been lynched.
NO NEGRO CHOSEN
AS FARM BOARD
R E P R E S E N T A T I V E
Washington, D. C.—(NSW) When the Federal Fawn Board was about to be appointed, it was confidently held in many quarters that at least one of its members would represent the great agricultural industry of 15,000,000. Negotiated the bank of those farmers. This hope was not realized, and the special field representatives, who will assist the board in its campaign to reduce cotton in its area. No one of them was appointed.
The five appointees are Joseph O. Thompson of Tuskegee, Ala.; Asbury F. Lever of Columbia, S. C.; Arthur B. Lacour of New Orleans, La.; M. C. Gay of Athens, Ga., and Charles H. Alvord of San Marcus, Texas. The two last named representatives will visit agricultural colleges, extension services and other agricultural agencies. A great cry is going up here over the fact that not only is there a complete disregard of the millions of Negro farmers, but the trained Negro agricultureists who head departments in Negro agricultural schools as well as the trained men and women in the extension services are not being given an opportunity to make the contribution to the solution of the farm problems of the country which they are capable of making.

He pulled this on Harvey Lawrence here recently, and three and one-half hours later shot and killed James Osten in a raid on a liquor still near Garner. The coroner's jury found that Jones had acted in good faith.

Ram Ann Shepherd outwitted two smooth confidence men here recently, and Ram Ann Shepherd outwitted her out of $225. They told her that her son was very ill in Birmingham and that they would take her to the place where she could be the money that she could, because he was in need of many things. Mr. Binga gave her $225, gave it to the man, but became suspicious as she started home and returned to the place where the man were to wait for her and got there in time to treat and recover all of her money.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1930
Night Schools Offer Special Opportunities For Training
Baltimore, Md.,—(INS) —Negroes are beginning more and more in this section to assert their full political rights, especially as they pertain to the time they have confined themselves to participating in elections merely as voters. Now they are beginning to see the importance of seeking office at the hands of the voters of the parish county, city, county or district where they are being emphasized this fact is being emphasized here with the announcement of the campaign of the state of Maryland. The election is on the 4th of November and voters have chance to decide whether they desire to have a Negro as their main government. Some question has been raised against Parish on the ground that he is not a Negro and votes for 50 for that office. But Assistant Attorney General Willis B. Jones has held that Parish is entitled to have his name placed on the ballot and that he will be time enough to consider whether he is of legal age if he is 18. Parker is running on the communist ticket along with four other community members who are candidates for other positions.

Race Problem Discussed By Next Governor
Boley, Okla.—(INS)—The new place that Negroes are about to take in the ranks of the Democratic party in the South was foretold here last week when William H. Murray (Alfalfa Bill), Democrat, nomining for the office of governor, whose election is conceded, addressed a large audience composed almost entirely of Negro Democrats, on the subject of the status of the Negro, in the United States. Murray's prepared address was not calculated to be a vote getting speech and he frankly said so. Instead it was a philosophical dissertation on the race problem from the Southern point of view. The importance of a peaceful and unceiving race between the races, he pointed out, was far more important than winning an election.
Murray scouted the idea of amalgamation on the ground that it would ultimately lead to mob violence and destruction of the weakest race. "We are a Narrative, as a white man, the right to refuse to eat or sleep with me," he asked. "That question I would have to answer in the affirmative for even my own race would have that right. Has the white man the right to refuse to intermarry with me, I am obliged to answer that 'yes,' for even any member of my own race would have that right."
"Would the white man have the right to deny me life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness or a livelihood? To that question I am obliged to answer me, for the law of self-preservation is an error in all other laws."
Discussing the fallings of the Nazi regime, we do not have sufficient race pride. We do not have sufficient race pride. We have great race pride of Jews and Indians, who are both minority groups in this country. We do not have the moment of Boley as an all-Negro town is indicative of great race pride, and we do not have the moment of Boley as an all-Negro town is indicative of great race pride. There must be pride of character and family name, he said, and in the case of Boley, the character, morality, sobriety and unrestrained patriotism and obedience to laws.
Murray then proceeded to discuss the ballot and on this question asked me why I would always remember that the ballot of an American in the ballot of a free man is the sovereignty of the state. The time will come when the intelligent man uses the intelligent man of the South and for your benefit the quicker will offer other options the quicker your race ceased to be prescribed."

The Honourable Senator Overman objects to the occasions when white women must pass Cickets to Negro porters. "It is an outrage," he states, "for white women to be forced to ask advice of a Negro."

HOWARD T. LAW SCHOOL MEETS REQUIREMENTS
Washington, D. C.—To determine the qualifications of the Howard University School of Law for approval by the American Bar Association, an organization that administers the school devoted primarily to the education and admissions to the bar. This is the first time that the association has been approved by the American Bar Association of the American Bar Association instituted upon 2 years of college study together with a law course of three years for full time day students. They further require that the school be adequately housed, and that the school be located at least 7,000 approved volumes. It is also provided that at least three members of the school be admitted, and that the school to the school, and that the school be conducted as a commercial enterprise.

The present total enrollment is about 400, and classes are being conducted for illiterates (people who cannot read or write their names), for persons in the elementary and high school grades, in shorthand and typewriting, in business arithmetic, in civil service (to fit men for the examinations given carriers, clerks and railway mail clerks), in plain sewing, in dressmaking (more accurately described as tailoring), in domestic science (including catering, the chemistry of meals, etc.), in beauty culture, and manual training and carpentry. It was a matter of the greatest encouragement to see Negroes ranging in age from the very young to the very old in all of the classes from the lowest to the highest, using this fine opportunity to improve their value to their employers and their surrounding community.
NOTED LAWYER
SAYS LIFE NOT
SAFE IN GEORGIA
Atlanta, Ga. (INS) — The Negroes of Georgia have known for a long time that civilization was rapidly deprived from the kind of lynching and barbarity, but it now become evident that of the white citizen are becoming alarmed over the present conditions in Georgia. Schuykaw Howard, prominent Atlanta lawyer, said that the Civitan Club here recently, showed great concern over the future of his state, calling attention to how Georgia has been steadily going backward a number of years. Mr. Howard spoke while the audience knew what is the matter with Georgia?
Stating his opinion about the present condition of Georgia, Mr. Howard said: "We have simply dropped out of the process of progress and prosecute the wrong people for disregistration." So serious is the situation in the opinion of this congenial lawyer that he concludes that "A constitutional convention must be called by the people of Georgia." Further, he last ten years practically as much in material progress as we have gained. While Mr. Howard did not call attention to the many recent lyrical attacks on his people, he may only effort to bring the many number to total, he evidently had this in mind, for he favors contributing to the present dire plight of Georgia. This seems clear from these words from Mr. Howard's
"The law-abiding and God-fearing courageous men of Georgia must stamp out from within the borders of this state the taking of the law into the hands of a mob and putting to death a fellow-creature. That spirit has cost this great old state millions of dollars in investing capital, because the citizens from abroad do not believe that life and property are safe in Georgia. The press of this state can do much to stamp out this curse upon the escutcheon of Georgia's once fair name."

STATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL URGED
TO INTERVENE
Marion, ind.—(INS)—The traditional Southern method of handling mob lynching of Negroes was followed here when the Grant County grand jury refused to return any judgments against the murderers of the 50 slaves. The jury refused to hear after they were charged with the killing of a white man. After investigating the matter for thirty days this grand jury came to the conclusion that there was no sufficient evidence to charge the murderer against any member of the mob, despite the fact that the lynching was perpetrated in the very courthouse.
Not only did the grand jury fail to return a single indictment against Mr. Campbell, it took great pain to exonerate the sheriff of any and all culpability in the connection the grand jury said; it took a large number of witnesses to a large number of witnesses to testify concerning the murder in which Sharif Campbell was killed. He was confronted on the night of August 7. The jury directed him and directed those acting under him in a prudent manner and had a probable that a race riot would have caused and several innocent persons would have killed him. He is entirely exonerated by us of blame or criticism for what occurred, and we are as the report of the grand jury became public James Jopen, the attorney for Campbell, said that he will "give due consideration to the situation" in the motion. UponAffidavit of a citizen of Marion, he will institute a criminal proceeding against Sharif Campbell, and it is expected that he will intervene in the case.
Local colored citizens feel outraged by the arrest of a county jury, and they agree with the following editorial comment which appears in the County grand jury's report: "The Grant County grand jury has added another to the long list of reasons for the arrest. The grand jury will be raised by the colored citherion and every effort will be put into a general conduct a searching investigation into the himself the court prowding a gang against the sheff for failing to prosecute."

SHOOTS OWNER IN ARM
Monroe, La.—(INS)—White chicken thieves seem to be becoming more common than they were formerly. They now are getting so bold at their new vocation that they are willing to fight to defend their claimed right to carry away their neighbor's cakes without their neighbor's consent. Mrs. J. D. Overly discovered this to her great regret recently when hearing some one in her chicken coup, she went into her back yard to investigate. She received the intelligence that the white chicken thief was there by means of a shot in her right arm, which physicians say put her in a serious condition due to the great loss of blood.

Toto regarded him speculatively. Then she moved a little closer to him. Hotshot got up yawning. "Guess I'll mosey on out in th' fiel," he said, giving Carl a sly look. "Sally put Bud out yestiddy, and he done left here. Reckon Sally'll be lookin' fme. See you later." He strode off whistling gayly, a wide grin on his brown face.
"You mustn't be carless of Bogo," Toto warned Carl. "He's one of these treacherous, blue-gumed guys. An' he's big enough to break you in pieces honey," Carl thrilled at her use of endearment to him.
"I'm not careless of him," he explained. "I'm just not afraid of him." Then he told her of his trouble with the man a few nights previously, and how Hotshot had saved him.
Toto smiled appreciatively. Then her voice became warm and caressing. "I've got to go now, Carl," she cooed. "But I'm glad I've met you."
Carl had removed his hat, and his hair swept down over his brow in a mass of black curls. Toto's hand pushed the recalcitrant locks back into place gently. She rose sinuously to her feet preparatory to moving away. Carl sprang up beside her.
"But, won't I—that is, can't I see you again?" he hegged boyishly.
Toto's eyes narrowed with some unexplained emotion, as they traveled over the well-knit figure of the youth. "Maybe, honey," she suggested, "you won't want to know a woman like me?"
I arvel laughed scronfully. "Why?" he demanded. "I can't think of any reason why I shouldn't be happy—very happy to know you."
Toto's eyes lighted with quick hope, then she sighed deeply. "You are sayin' a lot when you say that, Carl," she said.
"I still say," Carl insisted. "And I do want to see you again—soon."
The throaty laughter of the woman rang out, a little bitterly. "When these apes on this place get through tellin' you are, you'll wish you'd be when me," she cried. "If you had ever been in this country much you'd have heard of me already. Why, chile, I'm known almost everywhere."
"All I know is that you're beautiful," Carl told her, deeply moved, and I'm so much in love with you. He had almost said, "I love you!" The impulse shook him to the roots of his being.
"I'll be seen you," Toto called back to him, as she moved gracefully away toward the wood.
"I don't look at few hasty steps after her." "Please don't think I'm fresh," he begged as he stood at her side again, "but I—don't want you to go away without telling me that I'll see you again."
"Oh, you will," the woman assured him, unquestionably. "Don't worry about that."
"But when?" he insisted
"Time enough, honey," she told him, a trace of firmness tinging her voice. "Jus' take your time." She faced him, the lovely lines of her dark face holding a hint of pain. "I like you Carl," she told him frankly, "but there are reasons .. you'll jus' have to believe in me a while .. a little while. That's all I can tell you now. You'd better go back to th' wagon now because Elmira is waiting for her cotton to be weighed. Is she your woman—I mean, your girl?" She looks like she'd like to kill me!"
Before Carl could answer the woman moved away, her deep-throated laughter floating back to him like the call of a bird. Uncertainly he made his way back to the wagon.
"Toto don't lose no time a-tall," Elmira muttered ostensibly to herself, but loud enough for the weigher to hear. She came close to him, laying her hand on his arm. "You won't think bad of me if I tells you sompin', Mistah Carl?" she asked, her eyes pleadingly on him.
Gossip About Toto
Lost in the tumultuous maze of another creatin in him by the faintly eyed, the youth looked up blankly at the ivy-knapped girl. What did the ivy-knapped girl say? "I say that Tototo, a bad woman and money—an she's after e'y man's ear. Can't first urge to tell the girl to mind her own business, but the evident sincerity with which she said, "Why Elimira, what makes you think I care whether she is a bad woman" The girl misunderstood. "I know I don't want to get her claws her you can案—cause I like you," she said. "What about Peoof?" Call inquired ally. Elimira threw the word out disgustedly. "He isn't nothin' in my life. I'm gonna quit him," she said. "Better hang on to him, so far as I'm concerned," Carl told her with some "Myye you changes y'om mine some she walked back into the field. That night Hothotsh again ambled the shortly after dark, and the thousands on ye'm spiked with思念 and the little man sang: "gals get teeth like a light-on on ye'm."
My gal's got teeth like a lighthouse on th' sea;
An' when she smiles
She throw them lights on me."
He greeted Carl with a significant
smile. "What cha say, ole hot stuff?"
"Why hot stuff? Carl asked, raising his head from his improvised
desk upon which the Colonel's account books were opened.
"The fastas' woman in New Orleans
done made a play f you than why," his friend chorted.
Carl grinned, pleased in spite of himself. "Aw, she didn't make a
play for me," he denied. "We just talked a while."
"Talked, my foot! 'Bout everybody
in the field' knows that Miss Toto has
done out her sign on you!"
"Well, I hope she has," Carl said slowly. "I think she's gorgeous
"Slowly her mouth nought his. When their lips met, Carl tightened his mouth around her. They bloodied and felt unconscious for a breathless instant. Carl felt his blood boiling within him, and through the misty veil of his emotion the consciousness of what he was doing failed to make an impression."
"Slowly her mouth sought his. When their lips met, me tilted his arms around her. They kissed with wild abandon for a breathless instant. Carl felt his blood boiling within him. Of what he was doing to make an impression,"
"Well, we all know that, 'Hotshot' admitted drily. 'Howsumever, it's t'ain't her looks-" he halted significantly.
"What do you mean?" Carl asked quickly.
"You won't get mad at me!" Hotshot demanded.
"Of course not."
"Well, they all say that this were Toto makes her money by playing men—you know what I mean."
"Well!" Carl said the one word quietly. Hotshot seemed taken aback. He had expected his friend to explain in horror.
"I am that mek's difference to you!" You bin so dickty 'roun here 'bout th' gals I thought sho' you sho' wouldn't have no truck with a—
"Don't say that word!" Carl cried sharply. Then he smiled. "What she is makes no difference to me at all, Hotshot," he explained. "And any way, I won't be here very long, so what difference can what she is make to me?"
The little man shook his head as though puzzled. "For a boy with so much schoolin'," he muttered slowly, and with more seriousness than Carl had ever seen him display before, "you don't get much sense now."
"Well, when a woman looks at you like that one done today, and you look like a sick calf back at her then sompin's sho' due to happen."
"How did she look at me, Hotshot?"
"She look at you like a mamma look," her boy chillen, "Hotshot, explained.
Carl laughed. "Then her love would seem to be motherly," he scoffed.
Hotot shook his head vigorously, "knew! he denied." When a woman asked him, "What business, I know boy," Hotot told him, while deep within himself he was glad, because he put great faith in his friend's understanding of the "Well, eneways," Hotot observed his friend, who by a malign bucks you don't see in real life. "I'll take that bet," Criet accepted with a laugh, "and I'm your banker friend yi!" Hotot inquired. Criet shook his head ruefully. "Criet shook my head ruefully." I hawked a line from him. He brightened. "But I had have a couple of letters from my girl in China." What she say? Hotot asked "Oh nothing much. Just says she hopes I get out of this full of what I told her in one of my letters that she needn't worry about my falling in love. But if I don't harry up and fall in love, I'm afraid I will fall for Tole." "You will nothit!" Hotot moster
THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1930
SYNOPSIS
Later that night Carl sat outside his cabin half dreaming in the room, up and up, through the black treacy of the ceiling, and watching the radiance which formed large patterns on the ground. It was mid-summer on the earth. Gone were the magic odors gave forth their magic odors.
The Spell Grows
From the direction of the sconch in grounds drifted the muted throbb of the banjos, and the rhythmic harmonies of velvet-voiced singers. The barbarique of the sconch was made a pognant ache in Carl's heart. He thought with a sharp longing of the strange woman he had met that day, and had he known where he could have found her he would have gone to her at once.
Sighing of the sequestered and entered the house, to lie wide-eyed on his narrow bed. Now he thought only of Toto, not at all of the cool Antoinette—and Chicago. He tried to tell himself that he must not lose sight of the time of objective, even for a minute, but it did go good. The spell of Barre plantation and grey-eyed enchantress seemed to be tightening around him with an inexorable certitude.
He was awakened from his dreamy state by a soft rapping at his door. Startled he leaped from his bed, then came a "Whom" in the air.
Without answering, a slim figure entered the room softly. He thought it was Toto, and his heart leaped with quick jubilation. With a single bound he sprang across the floor and encircled the figure in his arms.
Oh! Mistah Carl Elms, a voice said, "I didn't expect you to"
Carl released the girl instantly. I'm sorry, Elmira," he said, stepping back. "I didn't know it was you."
Oh! The one word from the girl seemed watched by him. "I didn't know you was expecting nobody to be."
"I want, you least of all," Carl explained easily. "I must, I have, you ain't gonna chase me, are you?" Emira asked softly. She came closer to Carl.
"I think you'd better go," the man told her. His heart was still pounding, his face ill, but he was gently disappointed that his visitor was not too mad. "May I be in danger here?" "Well, I also am in no danger from you!" Elmira retorted pointedly. Netted, Carl cried, "be too sad." The girl gilled up to him, and with a lithe motion, her arms went up, and as yielding as cotton, and she pressed against him with force stunned. The face of her smooth skin against his face of her smooth skin against his in the youth. Almost without a knowing it. He almost began stealing her body. It had been breaking her body.
"I know'd you was human, baby," Elmira whispered unevenly. "I know'd you'd love me."
Slowly her mouth sought his. When their lips met, Carl tightened his arm and bargon for a breathless instant. Carl felt his blood boiling within him, and through the misty veil of his emotion the consciousness of what he was doing failed to make an impression.
Seemingly without his own volition he lifted his girl from the floor and unstabilized. Carried by the across floor to his room. She stroked her hair and kissed him wildly, murmuring incoherent love words into his ear.
Outside the moon dipped discreetly behind a bank of clouds, and the soft wind grew silent, as though his heart was full of pain. Far away, the sun doth thinly, then weave silence fell, as though the passionate drama in the cabin were being watched by even the trees.

INTERRACIAL SCHOOL OPENS AGAINST ODDS
Birmingham, Ala.—CNA) The "Southern Women," the weekly organ of the Communist party, announces the opening of a workers' camp in the South, the school will gather Negro and white workers in the same building, fighting against wage cuts, speed-up laws, and segregation and lynching.

Gene Bracken, a Negro organizer and one of the leaders arrested by the police, and now he is "mysteriously missing." Foul play is this. This morning the organizers continued in spite of all the terror, the bosses and their uniformed things, "turn out militant working class leaders, thoroughly grounded in the principles, equipped to carry on a constant and successful struggle against slave slavery."

Greenville, S. C.—(INS)—A new day is regarded to be coming in South Carolina with the opening of the Negro ward of the Greenville county tuberculosis hospital here next week.

About twenty schools in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi are represented in the 4-H club exhibit. Prises were awarded in canning, general agriculture, furniture making, brick masonry, drawing and interior decorations. About 20 schools were represented in the primary and grammar schools.
Entertainment features of the fair included horse racing, band concerts, free vaudeville, a fashion show, side shows and carnival attractions. An observation balloon was in operation during every day, and all kinds of riding devices were present. Dr. G. Patterson, who is secretary of the fair, stated that the total premiums this year amounted to about $3,000. All city and county Negro employees were given a half holiday with pay on Friday to attend the fair.

LUCKY IN FINDING
OIL IN HIS WELL
Yankeville, N. C.—(ANP)—Some 35 years ago, Booker T. Washington, the founder of Tuskegee Institute and recognized leader of the group ex-horted Negroes to "cast down your buckets where you are." Whether or not Lonnie Burwell, farmer in Caswell County, heard this address of the sage of Tuskegee is not known, but that is just what he did.
For years he cast down his bucket in a well on his farm and drew up cool, sparkling water, but some weeks ago when he cast down his bucket he drew up oil which has the potentiality of gasoline. After trying it out in his own flivver Burwell opened up a filling-station and according to reports sold the fluid which his well gave up.

Little Rock, Ark—The Modern Mosaic Templars of America, national fraternal Negro insurance society with headquarters in Little Rock, was granted a charter and certificate of authority to transact business by the State Insurance Department recently. Simultaneously with the granting of the charter, Scipio A. Jones, national grand master and investor, for a new service of the Templars of America announced a plan of reorganization of the old society into a modernized fraternal organization with many new features. According to his statement, the assets of the old organization will be used in liquidating all outstanding claims which amount to approximately $300,000. The liabilities are, however, fully protected by the assets which are as efficient as liquidated but as most of the assets consist of of estate, there will be some delay because of the depression in the real estate market at the present time. The affairs of the old organization will be wound up and the amount realized from the assets will be paid on these claims. The new organization will not take over any of the assets or liabilities of the old organization, but will start out as an entirely new concern.
A feature of the new organization will be the offering of social and honorary membership to those who do not care to take advantage of the insurance features, or who are past insurable age.

Hartford, Conn. (INS)—On the Trumbull has just signed extradition papers for the return of John Williams to Abbeyville, Alabama. What he is charged with the inburden of Careie Mouring, a young white girl. With lions is charged jointly with Enfield, Calhoun, white, a relative of the girl, under the theory that the two of them conspired together to commit the slaying, which is said to have occurred on December 11, 1828.
When the matter was first presented to Governor Trumbull he refused to sign the papers on the ground that no proper true bill had been found against Williams and that under these circumstances he should not be removed from Connecticut to Alabama. At this point the Negroes of Hartford became interested in the case provided that the case was refused to be mined fight to prevent the governor from signing the papers turning Williams over to the Alabama authorities.
Williams contends that he was not even near the place where the murder was committed on December 11, 1928, and that the whole thing is a mere intercourse to the property of the property for another person'sگردمگروه. He was able to convince the Negro population of his innocence, and he was aided in this by the fact that it does not look reasonable that a white man would conspire with a Negro to be a man who has been blood-kin. While it is hoped that some minute action may be taken to stop the extradition, the prospects at this writing do not look very bright.

Sylvan Terrace is an attempt to talk about a place where civilians for Houston Negroes, as well as to joint the work for other Southern communities which have Negroes. The policy which causes the race was a policy which has as its aim to be imposed upon merely because it is not in position at the moment to help itself and that every effort to achieve an equal value for every dollar can be an equal value for every dollar. For the first time in the history of Houston Syllan Terrace leads the city to for a Negro subdivision. For the first time carb and gutter have been properly graded to give them the engineering, so far as the streets of streets and lots is concerned, was for the first time all weathered, was for the first time all weathered, was for the first time all weathered, or given which soon wears away, leaving the streets furnished, and street lights in
In fact, Sylvan Terrace may propogate as described the first real attempt to class homesites for the members of the community to be colored, but who, nevertheless are able to buy and pay for a decent home, build a home and live and rear a family home, demonstrated to the satisfaction of any persons concerned, if they will be able to afford it.

We had two nights this time; D. J. Ryan for this effort and we also think the other schools for help. An immediate result of this effort is shown in the fact that the Y. W. C.

**DOING A NEW THING**
Most people follow custom and they cannot conceive of doing something new. They change ties. They feel that what has been must continue to be on and on and on. They feel that something new is breaking few break away from the old landmark and are more ungrateful. Because a thing has never been done is no reason to advance that it can be done. This is why these are. Are you among the followers of custom or are you among the few who are not?

NEGRO INTEREST
Savannah, Ga.—(INS) There is a growing interest in the educational development of Negro in the second half of the century ways by the greater number of worthwhile discussions of the achievements of the students. The latest of these was a whole new press. The latest of these was a whole new Frederic J. Haskin, in the Savannah Morning News. The article begins with "Washington is the seat of an institution of higher learning which is the largest Negro institution in the city at Howard are close students of the Negro problem and the student of the problem devoting their time to racial injustice." A great deal of the article is devoted to a discussion of the history of education in which this new type of education is now the focus upon the trained negro mind. One of the most interesting observations of this score Mr. Haskin says is the growth of this intelligent capital is that a species of race is being practiced with apparent
"It appears from a study of reelection education advances among Negroes the birth rate decline. This has been a major factor in the decline of the part of the Negro that his lot is not a fortunate one. Because of race and the United States than in other countries, the Negro observers that no matter how he may be, he does not stand on an equal footing with the white population of the nation. He is discriminated against in the matter of employment and education. The social distinction, of course, is the same. "This being the case, the educated Negro has adopted the attitude that the world any more members of his race, who because of their color, would be able to take a life of social isolation."

HAMPTON DEFEATS ST. PAUL
Hampton, Va.—Working with absolute coordination on a hot and dusty field, the Hampton Institute Ironmen opened their grid season last Saturday by wreaking havoc upon St. Paul's Tigers on their own grounds. It was victory complete and victory expected—even then the score was limited by experiments with the hands-field line. The Saints played the game for which they are famous, a courageous fight even in the face of great odds, but what with a bad break at the outset they also had a host of smashing backs before them.
The Tigers managed to stiff up spasmodically, and three times held Hampton for downs within five years of the goal; but on the offense they made the围攻 was no longer to drive through much deeper than Hampton's 30-yard line. The final score was Hampton, 40; St. Paul, 0.
Prairie View Stadium.

In the first quarter Galvanion held the Eagles to 2 first downs and no touchdowns. The Eagles swept down and through them in the second quarter Galvanion fumbled on their own 10-yard line and plugged for 6 yards and Foster fumbled, the ball rolling over the goal line for the first score. Green caught a pass over the line and the score was over in the corner. The corner man intercepted a pass and跑了 for touchdown. A pass to Porter over the goal was incomplete. Score
In the third quarter a sustained drive netted another score. Norman van 22 yards around left end after the Eagles had received the ball in mid-field following an exchange of punts. Pass to Wesley, who had been shifted to the backfield, added 13 yards. Norman added 3. Porter failed to gain. Norman buckled it over. Pass to Sanchez incomplete. Score 19 to 0.

FOOTBALL FANS BEGIN TO PICK THEIR CHOICES
Thursday, the supporters of the three high schools of Houston began a campaign to make the school is most popular and as to what football player is most popular. The players that Phyllis Wheaton got away with were the quarterback and Booker T. Washburn vow that one of Washington's supporters said the race is not to the swift but to the slower. "We must always be first. But Wheaton says votes are the things that will win."
Who are you for? Vote your commitment each week. Just cut the ballot and fill in the name of the boy you think the team should win. Fill in the name of the high school you think most popular. Then vote for the high schools or at the Lincoln High School, the manager of the Houston Informer. A few of those voting failed to vote. Then vote for the school both in the place for the school both in the place for the name of the school. A vote will only be counted once for the player. But if the name of the player is omitted, the vote for the school for the school. Get That Football! What Team Will Win the Prize?
THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1930
Langston University defeated Prairie View, 6 to 0, at Langston when Mitchell, starting out on what seemed to an end run paused and whipped a sixteen-yard pass to Captain "Pier Y" Miller who ran 29 yards to score the touchdown which proved to be the margin of victory.
“Zip” Gayles' Langston Lions elected to kick off. The first quarter resolved itself into a punting duel with Prairie View having the edge. However, an impregnable Langston line always held and offset the punting disadvantage.
The first pass attempted by Prairie View was made incomplete by a seemingly impossible play by McCain, diminutive quarterback for Langston. Langston's first pass was intercepted and ran back 33 yards by Copell. After receiving a punt in the middle of the second quarter Langston came out of the huddle and completed the 45-yard pass which merited their victory.
Prairie View opened up a full bag of tricks, reverses and double reverses for forward passes and all the tricks for which Sam Taylor, their coach is noted. The line play of Jones at end, Jackson and Doster at tackle, and Johnson and Marshall at guard always turned Prairie View back.
Buchanan, the rangle, roving center for Langston smeared many plays behind the lines. Hughes, giant Prairie View tackle, was an inspired player. It was his single handed playing which held Langston at numerous turns of the game. Prairie View was held to three first downs, and Crisp, Mitchell, Scott and McClain scored eleven first downs for Langston.
Coach Gayles elected to play a safe game during the second half and withheld the numerous offensive plays for the coming Alabama State game. Nevertheless, his team frequently thrilled the crowd with their bewildering offensive attack.

LON CHANEY'S
FIRST AND LAST
TALKING PICTURE
"The Unholy Three"
SUNDAY - MONDAY - TUESDAY
October 19-20-21
Lon Chaney talks at last—and how!
He speaks in five different voices perfectly adapted to the five characters he imitates. Chaney refused to talk for a long time, but when he did talk, Chaney like, he out talked everybody on the screen.
What a wonderful picture—"THE UNHOLY THREE," is the most unusual entertainment ever filmed—There will never be anything like it, because Lon Chaney is dead and the world only afforded one Chaney—Again we urge you to see—
"THE UNHOLY THREE"
If you don't see another picture this year.
TOWER
(C. F. RICHARDSON, Jr.)
Baton Rouge, La.—In a spectacular game of intercepted passes and lightning, offtackle plays the Southern University, Scotland, La., grabbed the long end of the score in a game with the Bishop Bears here last week. The Mississippi River boys counted early in the game and scored in each of the following quarters, but failed on each attempt to annex the additional point. The lion's share of Southern's victory rests upon the shifty feet and speed of Cliff Purnell, brainy, and elusive quarter; Hickman, quick as a flash of light, halfback, and "Reedy Spigner, massive lineman, who wrought valigantly to enjoy the fruits of victory. Hickman converted the Bishop forward pass attack into a boomerang and behind perfect interference on two occasions crossed the goal unmoistened.
The schedule of the Bears follows: Oct. 17, Samuel Huston at Austin; Oct. 25, Texas College at Bishop; Oct. 31, Arkansas A. and M. at Texarkana; November 11, Prairie View at Prairie View; Nov. 21, Jarvis at Bishop (tenative); Nov. 27, Wiley on Bishop Field; December 6, Langston at Ft. Worth (tentative).

If politics were not such a rotten bought-and-paid-for business, and if voters were not such stupid being, the districts would be cast for these candidates would be a white less true to the right interests of the Negro in congress than is true to the white, they could influence which no colored American can now rely on. I forget to mention that they are running on the Socialist ticket, for that is after all an important point, and they are concerned, although very important for the people as a whole, that the Socialists are "different." But think, the vote for me offered Negroes two such men, Why, I think I could vote for Broun or Thomas even if they were Republican.

DEGENERATIVE CHANGES OF FACE CAUSED BY LOSS OF PERMANENT TEETH
Degenerative changes in the human jaw begins when the first permanent tooth is lost.
The visibility of these changes is noticeable in proportion to the number of the two. This change is at it's worst (under normal circumstances) when we have been so unfortunate as to lose nearly all or all of our permanent teeth, and it is most pathetic when we neglect having these lost members replaced with a new, replaced, in place of because to have been replaced with what should not be there or the wrong type of restoration (teeth) is just as bad as not having any teeth at all so far as the usefulness will be to the health and the aesthetic side of them.)
Having a long-type of correction is placed in the mouth, the person not only looks older but ages more rapidly than he or she would otherwise.
If patients generally understood that a high degree of dental skill is required to arrest these degenerative changes and to prevent amputated ageing of the tissue as well as the individual, and the proper correction may require a series of restoration until the proper one has been found. Just as the pediatric treats feet with a succession of shocks or the physical given to the same different drugs to correct certain symptoms in treating a diseased condition.
With this understanding the patient should be more cooperative with their dentist toward restitution and to support the considerable expenditure of money, while the application of the dentist makes time and skill by
None of our want to get old in condition or appearance more than a matter of fact when we are ageing we generally take any step which will allow us to be the hand of the Patient Time. This is as it is should we youth physically offers its great indulgence.
The sad part in considering the proper restoration (tech) for the lost body is to stand in what way good restorations (getter for restoration) can be placed. Place yourself in the hands, competent dentist, follow his instruction that seem to be exorbitant in cost to you will prove to be the cheapest cost in long, when needed by health, aesthetic and service.
Texas will have a million and a half acres under irrigation when projects are completed, tripling the number in 1920, which was a half million year.

HEFLIN'S RECORD
SHOWS HIM TO BE
BOTH WET, DRY
Washington, D. C. (INS). The political record of Tom Heflin on the liquor question is very interesting in view of the fact that the Alabama senator now holds himself out to the works of the same advanced and unfettered interest of national prohibition. This record discloses a fact which the Negro of Alabama have always known, namely, that Heflin was a political opportunist, pure and simple. In the past, he was a leader of the American Association for the power of the state of Washington. This record discloses a fact which the Negro of Alabama have always known, namely, that Heflin was a political opportunist, pure and simple. In the past, he was a leader of the American Association for the power of the state of Washington.
Now comes disclosure of the legislative record of Tom Heflin on the liquor question. It shows that he has been on both sides of the fence. When the Webb-Kenyon bill to prohibit the shipment of intoxicating liquors into states which were dry prior to prohibition and was a result of the们.
The report also indicates, he was the "representative," voted "present." This was in 1913 and he evidently had no conviction, or was both for and against. Then in 1917 he took the against and voted against the 1918.
The report also noted that he voted for the Volstead Act.
It should also be remembered that Heflin has always been an ardent Democrat. In 1928 he voted for Hoover, and is now running on an anti-懒缴党 ticket against the recent Democratic nominee for the United States senate. What will he be next?

WHITE MAN CLAIMS HE DID
NOT MEAN TO KILL NEGRO
Calexico, Calif.—(INS)—Whenever a white man shoots a Negro and can find none of the other usual excuses which seems plausible, he falls back on the old standby, that he either did it for fun, or that he didn't mean to do it. The latter is being offered here by Lee Echols, United States border patrolman, who reports that he accidentally shot and killed Ben Reed when the latter failed to halt after crossing the international line. Echols said that he slipped in an irrigation ditch, which caused the firing of the fatal shot. It may be true, but the local Negro population doubts it very much.

White Women Are
Held For Murder
Charged to Negro
Florence, Ala.—(INS) Three young white women have been arrested for slaying here recently of Albert Reynolds and a man she stabbed in August only one finger on his right hand“. The unknown Nigro case the murdered dead man made a statement just before he fitted the above description was the man who did the slaying. The different impression of the case, for they have placed in custody Gene Golden, Virgie Rutherford and Marie Stone, the first 20 years of age. Two of the young men who Reynolds is supposed to have visited just before he met his death, seems not to be working so well.

Cincinnati, OH—(INS)—Of the 25,000 unemployed persons out of an employable population of 156,000 here, a many-thousand of the unemployed are inquired into quartered that fully one-half of these unemployed people is to be found among the Neighborhoods. The unemployed group of the race are to be found in that portion of the city in which the Central Avenue and between the river and Library Street.

The lesson title is somewhat misnearing in that it implies that the insight of Simeon and Anna was due to their purity of heart, whereas it was due to their holy spirit. Those indwelling by the Spirit will be pure in heart, but not all the pure in heart have such insight. He is the holy spirit of the holy Spirit. His character (v. 23).

This is the Nine Dime Ditsy song by Christians since the Fifth century, A. D. Simone was now ready to die in the Saviour's Savilion in and through Christ's atonement on the cross. No one is saved in salvation which was wrought out on Calvary's cross. The prophecy (v. 24, 35). (1) The meaning of Christ to the v. 24, 35 is affected by Christ's coming. His presentation to man other results in his salvation or in neutral ground. Personal attitude toward him determines all. This has been fulfilled in every generation since its utterance. He shall be spoken against (v. 24). This began to be fulfilled when she was obliged to die in Egypt in order for him to be changed her child was an intimation of what the end could be when she clashed her child against him and again as human hate swept against her son. His culmination was when she followed his death. H. Anna (Luke 10, 37)
She was irreproachable. After a marriage of only seven years, she was called by her father, eighty-four years, during which time she devoted herself to God. She was what Paul called a "widow indeed" who had been called a "mother" and she endured many traffics and temptations, leading a life of self-delictrity. She was a woman of much prayer.

WHY SOME WORKERS LOSE
THEIR JOBS
Recently I made some investigations as to why some of the old help desk employees replied that they were tired of undesirable work and most employers replied that they were tired of undesirable work and most employers replied that they are employed in the firm a good while and have become "put" on the job, who has not done without him, and that he should not do without him, and that he should continually lay off without giving notice and will stand no reprimand when he does not do it. The new colored job is employed, instead of trying to help them catch on, he does not do it, and then, more of a downsweep store that employed several colored maids, and one who has been in the service for about 15 years or more makes it so he has become a problem for the company and has become a problem for the company not unnecessary work on them, will not work in time in order to keep the other help from getting off. She will not have a fixed lunch time for the girls. This is a difficult job for her and that making it hard for her herself and that feeling of her actions and unfair dealings towards the other help over time is not easy.
I know of a private family that can keep cooks and maids a short time, let them work in the yard and yardman. He thinks he has the right people to help him and angel they can't get along without him. He is grounded in being a loving carry about him and whatever he does, he is willing to help those people are looking for a butler. We have many similar instances to their job, but they are the ones their jobs. The article will be "Why Mexicans are Replacing Nephrons."

They are care and training of all other delinquent girls and of the boy who is delinquent or Negro boy in delinquency. The state has an institution to which the can be sent; but the institution must be pursued and thus she continues to naturally to work criminal classes."

INTELLIGENCE AND INTEGRITY MAKE MEN
AND RACES GREAT
HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1930
EXHIBITS IN COUNTY FAIRS INCREASE
C. H. Waller, leader of the extension work among Negroes in this state is the authority for the statement that each year is witnessing more and more provision for the inclusion of Negro exhibits at county fairs in Texas. In several instances special events are held at county fairs and last week in Gildings, a building was dedicated to their use both in the time of fairs and during the rest of the year. The majority of the counties in which the extension workers operate have already set apart a regular Negro Day for the fair. This procedure is proof of the effort of the extension process, and more and more it is coming to pass that the administrators of this state are realizing that the ability of Negro farmers to produce effectively has direct bearing on the total production and prosperity of counties. And the fact that they are doing their bit to make possible their inclusion in the market is an important importance. Herefore it has probably been true that little or no attention was paid to the Negro farmer. His crude and out of date methods were taken for granted. Such discoveries as were made by the students of Texas farming and its needs were rather left to shift for themselves and to do the best that they could. Extension workers among them have worked so definitely away from this status that now we see the actual efforts to include them in the scheme of things. And the number of prizes awarded each year at these fairs is proof enough of their interest in knowledge.
The general public is prone to pay little attention to things rural. The average reader of this journal thinks little about the connection between farmers of the race who produce to the ex-servicemen of the race who produce to the power of the race in this state. And yet that should not be so. None of us can think of himself as separate from all of the rest of us. In proportion as our farmers, and they are the largest landowners among us, produce largely enough to be counted in the total production of the race. The proportion of the production of the race be increase. Time will come. The Informer thinks, when Negro farmers as a general rule rather than the exception as is now the case, will belong to the farm and will be the source of the production of prices and the processes which have to do with farmers all over this country. There certainly can be no doubt but that their inclusion in county fairs in such a large way and the fact that they are the source of the production of prices come in contact with the best and most modern methods means that they will eventually contribute more largely to the production of their respective counties, and in that way to the state at large and to the race of which they are a part. And in all of them, the agents have been most commendable. They are serving well.
GOVERNOR PREVENTS LYNCHING
Very much unlike our own retiring governor, Dan Moody, the governor of Alabama last week dispatched troops to the scene of a threatened lynching and gave them orders to protect the prisoner. The governor, who was the only one with a contrast to the attitude of County Commissioner A. C. Neal of Georgia who, after the lynching of a wounded and defenseless Negro accused of a crime, said that "I believe I am safe in sayings that I am not a slave and that I am not only condoned, but has met with practically unanimous approval." Governor Bibb of Alabama has been praised and is still receiving praise for his work and his dedication, and is pleased to have the good name of and state protected from the heartless work of demented hoodlums. Georgia and Texas, at least as far as the better thinking members of both races are concerned are still smarting over the shame and humiliation of the lynching and the courage to protect the law and to enforce the demands of simple civilization. Georgia continues to murder and to burn men and women of black skins; and the citizens, even the heads of the state, are still in a state of despair to death and the property of many whose sole offense was the possession of a black skin, destroyed, but even the courthouse was burned while supposed defenders of the law were at work. And there can be no doubt that Texas, because of the publicity
All persons laying claim to any degree of civilization realize that a state can be no better than those whom it elect to lead by political system which can boast of no more than the selection of the best citizens, the best citizens of oaths and obligations as is evidenced by Georgia and Texas, is fundamentally unsealed. Georgia and Texas boast of the Democratic primary system. They claim that politics and the state are not the same thing, and that claims that the depths have already been reached. Even were all of the things which are claimed for Negroes true, their participation could result in nothing worse. To be reduced to the extent that the depths have already been reached means that it is exceptional for that to happen; and yet the attitude of the south toward the lynching of human beings has resulted in just that. There is little in such accomplishment of
The Houston Informer
A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR ALL THE PEOPLE
HOUSTON'S TRAFFIC DEATH RECORD
The number of deaths from traffic accidents in Houston and vicinity last year reached the tremendous number of 178, according to information coming from the bureau of the census. Of this total 105 deaths were attributed to traffic accidents within the city. This number is five higher than for the preceding twelve months. Houston's percentage of traffic deaths was materially higher than that of any of the other large Texas cities with the exception of El Paso.
Ordinary Houstonians will of course wonder why this is so. All thinking persons will realize that the majority of these accidental deaths and those involving the governing officials of the city need to give much more study to the problem than has been given in former years and radical changes in many of the traffic regulations need to be made. It is to be noted that many improvements have been made with the introduction of roadside assistance. Stop signs have been repaired more frequently. Boulevards have been slightly better policed. But that is not enough. The improvement on the part of officials must continue until regulations even to the casual visitor to the city.

Citizens also need to help. The pedestrian who crosses the street without waiting for the green light is as bad as the driver who does the same thing. The average young driver who wants to cross the street is not as good as the other menace which all good citizens devoyish wish could be removed. All of us are accustomed to them. They are all not confined to our race. The "sweet" driver with his girl in a rented car, the "bad" driver with his girl in a face and empty head, endangering the lives and safety of all who may be in his path is probably the greatest nuisance. It was that sort of driver who killed a boy, knocked two houses off the street, and then ran away. All of these people as well as the drunken drivers, both men and women, have to do _well_ the abnormally high traffic death rate of Houston. No decrease can or will be noted until the safety of all persons come to be the constant priority. The drivers in such a hurry can tell just why they are in a hurry anyway.
JERSEY VOTERS BOLT "GOOD OLD PARTY"
Negro voters in New Jersey last week bolted the Republican party $20,000 and pledged their allegiance to individuals rather than to the party. They denounced the regular party for its lack of support for the Democratic dependent tickets. Regular party leaders both white and black found their attempts to stem the tide of revolt without avail. It is claimed that a campaign by the N. A. C. A. P. is well under way to defeat all of President Hoover's program as well as the attempts of all of the Parker voter sensation. The party found they had laughed at any attempt to keep the Negro from voting the Republican ticket straight. And well might they have laughed. For it was true that until just a few months ago, the party of Lincoln and of Grant was like the king, could do no wrong. But all is not now over. The party has stood year after year, campaign after campaign, and seen his fondest hopes dashed to pieces. His needs for less prejudice have received no attention. He still accomplishes nothing by his mass efforts. He still has not been told that he had been taken from him one by one. He has seen the attempts of the national committee to gain strength in the south at his expense. White men have openly told him that the party was to be "illy white"; and decisions in the national convention that he had been told he had seen a president silent on lynching when asked to speak out. He has known that there should have been no necessity for the asking. All of these things have helped to make the situation which is now just developing. This is just the beginning. And he has recognized the idea that the New Jersey revolt is just the beginning.
Negro voters have learned the value of registering a protest. They also have found out that on being "the winning side" can be without definite benefits. In fact, after the winning, they have actually found themselves worse off than before. And so they have learned that the best way to be effective is playing less and less a part in their thinking. The Informer feels that as it is should be. Let them continue to register their protest by their ballots, by need rather than blind party loyalty. Let them split their forces into such groups as the minds of the individuals may decree; Democrats where they choose; Liberals where they decide that, Republicans if they choose; Democrats where they decide that, be guided by the dictates of self respect and self help. There will be little criticism of the voters of New Jersey.
THE MOSAIC TEMPLARS REORGANIZE
the reorganization of the Mosaic Templars of America, once considered the strongest of Negro fraternals, has just been announced by Judge Seipie Jones, receiver for the concern. The new organization faces the payment of $300,000 in past claims and other expenses incurred during the inadvent period. The Informer congratulates those who have had the foresight to undertake this reorganization. It hopes that the plight of this fraternal order will be the sign by which still others may be directed toward more definite study to make them remain in the community. It is hoped that the faith of the race in itself goes with it. Some of its belief in its own ability goes, never to return. It is therefore the duty of all who head such institutions to study hard and to think well of their duty and responsibility to know and to follow nothing but the methods methods. By no other means can such crashes be averted.
NEGRO CLERKS FOR WOOLWORTH STORE
The Chicago Whip has waged a long and relentless fight to place Negro workers in all of the places of business located in the Negro sections of Chicago and patronized most largely by Negro business owners. They argued this policy of the fight by the managers of the newest and largest Woolworth Five and Ten Cent store, located in the heart of the Negro district. The management was determined that it should not be allowed to Negro workers to work 17 weeks. Finally the fight was won. The store opened with a crew of Negro salegirls and floor managers. This victory broke for the first time the 50-year-old policy of this firm. They have never before used Negro salegirls. In the habit of the race to feel that "God would take care of His own" and that things would right themselves. And we have seen things continue to go from bad to worse until now, there is much pessimism and little hope for future. We have failed to use all of our powers for our own advancement. Negro workers had the Whip was wrong. They pointed out that Negroes could not choose for concerns in which they had no money. They argued that reprisals would be taken. But the Whip continued. Negro workers had had, yet their money would have been spent in that store.
OPINIONS
President Hoover Makes Amends
President Hoover Makes Amends
BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. <u>C</u>lent. Hoover has made more fortune. On the other hand, Mary appointments in four months land, with the decisive Negro vote in the 1928 election, because no senator. Then the burden of com-<u>tional</u> content is placed on her.
It is happened that every senator in the lucky Negro states voted for the confirmation of Judge Parker to the Supreme Bench. This act aroused the Negro race to political revenge as perhaps nothing else has done since the first civil rights decision. The N. A. C. P. took the lead and threatened political slaughter to every senator who cast an affirmative vote. Congressman DePriest, violin, in gevery canon of congressional courtesy, sat in the senate chamber, and noted and designated for political death, every member of the upper house who dared uphold the administration's hand. The Negro-saced double victory. Parker was defeated. The frightened senators in the several states appealed to the White House to save them from the wrath of aroused Afro-Americandom. "Give one of my Negro sub-lieutenants a fat berth at Washington, and this will appease enough of them to secure victory." Thus spoke Allen of Kansas; Watson and Robinson of Indiana; Hatfield and Goff of West Virginia; and Hasting of Delaware. As a result, Henderson, Houston, Mitchell and Coage have been placed on the pay roll, and will whoop it up for Hoover and his pro-Parker senators. All of the two parties were excellent men and will do credit to the administration and honor to the Negro race. Such is the fruition of protest. Page the N. A. A. C. P.
We are again reminded that politics is a game of force. There was no concern behind these appointments, but a sheer political maneuver, President Obama's valuer of New Orleans because he was the governor very little apprehension to recognition to the Negro, because he had to have to. We asked him to let us thank the N. A. A. C. P. for lashing the race into consciousness over the Parker island for keeping the keen edge of protest alive. Let us thank the Hoover senator for keeping the black leuticians. Let us thank the governor for keeping the political emergency and making these appointees the beneficiaries of the political emergency and standing in the dim distant background beckoning approval of it all.
However, we don't see anything reprehepmanble in the action of the Russians in the war, the traders have to sell their wheat as our traders have to sell their wheat as our traders have to raise the rulers to rule the Russians dumping the wheat over the land in order to foster Communism, is hokum. The Russians have decided to sell wheat and get the cash.
We have learned another use of "selling short." It is safe to say we won't forget.
A Glance at the Situation
Money rates are lower than they have in the past year, so they are more than they may be in the past year. In the past year, interest, money on "call" for only 2% interest. Time loans are yielding about 2% interest and good commercial paper is only worth 8%. Incidentally one borrowing here in Texas should not have to pay 7% for bank loans. This is a time when an investor sells stocks rather than stocks. Because it is selling to a yield a little better than 4%. Again we call attention to the reason for this. If the bond is a 6% bond, since interest is so low, the owner of this bond will offer it at a price that will cause the buyer to get a yield of a little better than 4% and you pay 6% if you get $100 of $100. If $100 is the 4% of a larger sum than $100. Therefore the owner sells for more than par and we say bonds are high. But that means the yield or what you get on your investment is low.
Wholesale prices of most commodities are lower than they have been since the year 2007. For the time loans are shown to be cheaper. Since rubber is down tires will be cheapens. Since repetition aids memory, we are repeating our suggestion that you adjust your perspective. Over the next year both wages and cost of living will fall. Our guess is that you will be an material upturn in business for approximately a year. We recommend that you cut out all waste. We don't recommend that you try to board your money.
Conditions are not just the same in the south and particularly in Texas and yet there is much to be learned by us in the matter of protecting the jobs that are already ours. There is much yet to be learned about making the money which we spend guaranty on our own folks even though we have no money invested in the jobs we do. We have to invest in the south and who annually take out of the south many millions of dollars in premiums can be handled in a better way. Chain stores which are located in the heart of Negro sections and which do not employ Negroes can be made to feel the force of argument which takes stronger forms than mere words. Public libraries which are located in the heart of Negroes are let out to give place to white boys, and in stores which depend for their support on Negro purchases; can be worked upon. "Spend Your Money Where You Can Get a Job" is not without much merit in times like these. Just to let things go as they will cannot longer suffice for us. Every organization which does them without them, who have felt the force of the Black Shirts, or some other organization like it, which has for its object the displacing of Negroes and the employment of others. And many times in the very neighborhoods in which Negroes live. Organization, thought, work and ever present alertness to the needs of the day will help. God has never failed to help those who tried to help themselves; and ever performed miracles for those who simply sat and waited.
President Hoover has made more Negro appointments in four months, and he has given that the administration has made a positive recognition. But four important assignments falling in the category of positive recognition must be accounted for either by a change of attitude or by some unusual action. Mr. Hoover has set up a board of General Brown and Secretary Newton to keep watch and ward over the Negro community, nozes no leadership except through the mediation of the Secretary, and is to be attributed to this sageboard group to play politics with the Negro directly, but allows politics in plenty to be handled. The man who doesn't play politics will be elected president but once the Negro community has been disclosed in words, but is clearly revealed in action. It will be to be displaced from leadership in the South. There will be committee work and the policies of parties and presidents by authoritarian committees work the policies of页Ben Dennis and Peter Howard.
