HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1934
THE LUBBOCK NEUTRALITY
It was interesting to read in the announcement of last Mon-
day’s meeting of the Harris County Democratic Executive
Committee that J. B. (“Shorty”) Lubbock, chairman of the
committee, said that he was neutral on the question of whether
Negroes should be permitted to exercise their constitutional
right to vote in the statutory Democratic primary elections
next month. Is this expressced neutrality the real sentiment
of Mr. Lubbock? Or is it merely the professional caution of an
anticipating politician?
Negroes will recall that, when this question was first
broached this year, Mr. Lubbock was quoted as saying that
Negroes would not be permitted to vote in Harris County with-
out a court fight. Negroes will also remember that later on Mr.
Lubbock was quoted as saying that it looked very much like the
decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States would be
followed this year for the first time since those decisions were
rendered. *
In other words Mr. Lubbock has, in the brief span of a few
months, been against Negroes voting, for their voting, and now
; neutral in the matter.
Much has been said about what trust should be placed in
a man who rides two horses. But what is to be done with a fel-
low when he is caught riding three horses, as Mr. Lubbock is
doing on the sacred constitutional rights of Negro voters?
FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION
Hon. J. K. Brim, chairman of the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, was quoted as saying prior to the meeting of
the committee on June 11, that if the question of the Negro
vote came up he would rule it out of order, as the Supreme
Court of the United States had held that Negroes could not be
barred. In doing this he was merely following the constitution
of the United States.
When we get more such state officials, especially those who
have the management and control of the statutory Democratic
primary elections of Texas, we shall have a more honorable and
a more civilized and progressive state.
The Informer congratulates Chairman Brim upon his deter-
mination to follow the constitution.

NEGRO INSURANCE CO-OPERATION
Whether they believe it or not Negro insurance companies
could get a lot out of a little co-operation. In the first place, if
• they came together periodically for the purpose of serious con-
sultation and discussion, they could in all probability devise
ways and means of getting into Negro companies at least some
of the tremendous amount of business which now goes into
companies of other races to make more jobs for them.
They could probably also keep each other advised about
their common problems of management and administration,
and, perhaps, find common ways of solving them.
With the Negro fraternal orders of Texas facing great
problems in the future, it would be a fine thing if those with
headquarters in Texas should begin to get their heads together
to see how they can collaborate in the solution of these prob-
lems; instead of the heads of each order trying to get some
consolation alone out of the fact that some other order is in
a little worse shape than theirs.
OF INTEREST TO NEGROES
The letter which President Roosevelt sent to the commis-
sioner of education relative to the recent educational confer-
ence held in Washington is of interest to Negroes everywhere.
In partit said:
“As yet all too small a percentage of the Negro children of
our country, especially in its rural sections, enjoys adequate
or equitable facilities for the education which is America’s goal
for every child. We have neither schools enough properly to
accommodate the children who should be in attendance, nor
educational offerings of the quality and variety adapted to
their needs. How to meet these two fundamental requirements
adequately, and the ramifications into which consideration of
their varied aspects takes us, are the problems to which this
conference will devote its attention.”
AGRICULTURAL SONG WRITER
.The article in last week’s issue of The Informer by V. G.
Goree presents a sad, though amusing spectacle. A lad with
no musical training whatsoever goes off to an agricultural
school. There he studies agriculture and nothing more. When
he comes back home three years later he is still ignorant of
music, but is supposed to know something about farming.
, Does he begin to justify the hopes and sacrifices of his
father and mother by putting his farming knowledge into prac-
tice? He does not. He becomes an agricultural song writer in-
stead. To avoid hard work, which he was perfectly willing to
do before he went off to college, he now wants to get rich quick
by writing a song. So, under this guise, for three more years
, he has lain around home and ridden on father and mother.
This is the extreme case of what is true of far too many of
our college graduates. Instead of trying to make a living at
some honorable task, they want in too many instances the easy
r way of writing a song or something else like that.
When true principles are enunciated they are eternal. In
speaking to the students of Fisk University in 1895 Booker T.
Washington said among other things the following:
"The idea has been too prevalent that the educated colored
man must either teach, preach, be a clerk, or follow some pro-
fession. The educated colored men must, more and more, go
to the farms, into the trades, start brick yards, sawmills, fac- ’
tories, open coal mines; in short, apply their education to con-
quering the forces of nature.”
The idea is still too prevalent that the educated colored man
must follow one of the four occupations mentioned by Mr.
Washington. And, as we see more and more Negro college and
professional graduates walking the streets looking for some
school to teach, church to preach, place to clerk or practice a
profession, we realize the tragic failure of Negro education to
relate itself to these practical necessities of physical living to
which Mr. Washington called their attention almost forty years
ago. 7
NEGRO NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
The recent report of “Editor and Publisher” to the effect
that newspaper advertising had reached its peak for the entire .
recovery period in May of this year had reference to advertis-
ing in white newspapers. It is therefore pertinent to say a
word about Negro newspaper advertising.
All advertising in newspapers is based upon the purchasing
power of the readers of newspapers. Likewise all sales prices
of retail commodities are “loaded” with a certain amount for
advertising in order to try to attract that purchasing power.
So, when Negroes spend the millions which they do for the va-
rious commodities which they buy, they pay a certain percent-
age for advertising. This percentage in turn makes jobs for
somebody’s children. Whose children shall it be? Negro chil-
dren?. Or white children?
The Informer alone makes jobs for some dozen or more Ne-
gro young men and women. This is more jobs than all of the
white newspapers in Texas provide for Negro youth. The
Informer could make more such jobs for Negro young men and
women (and the same is true of other Negro newspapers) if
it could get a larger amount of the advertising funds created
by the purchasing power of the thousands of readers of The
Informer.
The question is, Shall Negroes insist that a reasonable pro-
portion of the advertising budgets which they create be alloted
to Negro newspapers? Or shall we continue to fatten frogs
for snakes?
YOUNG PEOPLE’S DAY
Every now and then young people’s day is celebrated in our
various churches. This is a good thing, but one or two days
a year set apart for young people is not enough. Every day
should be young people’s day, in this process of preparing youth
for the tasks of tomorrow. ,
THE ONLY THING TO DO
Dr. DuBois has finally submitted his resignation. That was
the only thing to do. He and the board of directors of the N.
A. A. C. P. have disagreed for a long time over the fundamental
policies of the association, and it is very right and proper that
he go his way and they go theirs. ,
The directors should accept the resignation, and not fur-
ther complicate the situation by refusing to accept it.
ELDER MICHAUX’S NINE THOUSAND
After putting old man Satan on the run in the nation’s capi-
tal, Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux has moved over to Phila-
delphia for a period, and he promises to chase the devil out of
the City of Brotherly Love. More than nine thousand people
have been flocking nightly to hear the “Happy Am I” devine,
and they are cooperating with him, through the collection plate
and otherwise, to make it hot for old man devil and his gang.
Isn’t it interesting how Negroes to the tune of thousands
can be gotten together to wage a battle against the devil?
Almost any preacher with a good pair of lungs and a little
showmanship can get him a tent and fill it with Negroes who
will shout and snort in a vigorous effort to chain old Satan
down.
Now The Informer is no friend of Satan or the devil either.
But it is too bad that nine thousand Negroes cannot be gotten
together to wage a fight upon disfranchisement, upon old man
Jim Crow, upon unequal school facilities for Negro children,
upon business houses which neither invite nor appreciate our
trade, or upon some other of the hosts of evil doers whom we
see every day and can put our hands upon.
UNION REVIVALS
The Baptist Ministers Union of Texarkana takes a progres-
sive step forward in holding a joint revival, supported financial-
ly and otherwise by all of the Baptist ministers of the twin-city.
Union revivals ought to be the rule instead of the exception.
They bring to a focus the combined attention of all religious
elements and the community in general upon the moral issues
raised. But more important than that, they give ministers an
experience in putting over a joint program for the general good.
Ministers need more of this kind of cooperation.
AUSTIN LEADS THE WAY
The Negro Citizens Council of Austin, composed of 700
representative members of the Negro group in the city, has
pointed out to Negroes all over Texas the only way that we can
get anywhere in the field of politics. That way is the way of
united action for the best welfare of all Negroes, as against the
old way of individual action for the benefit of a few Negro
politicians. -
The council decided to support the bond’ election and to
throw the entire weight of the Negro electorate behind help-
ing to see that the bonds were voted. If Negroes will stand
together in every election in this way, they will become a politi-
cal factor which will get for us more of the civic benefits which
we are now denied.
CHARLTON-POLLARD’S COMMENCEMENT
The Charlton-Pollard High School commencement this year
was unique and promises much for the future. The theme-
idea around which the commencement was built had to do
with the practical economic problems which face Negroes in the
city of Beaumont
It is in Beaumont that the majority of the graduates of
Charlton-Pollard must face life and its opportunities and dif-
ficulties. It is these opportunities, and difficulties which should
be of special concern to high school boys and girls who must
meet them and try to solve them.

Congress of the General Baptist State
Convention of Texas).
Lesson XIII June 24, 1934
Motto Text: Of His kingdom there
■hall be no end. Luke 1:33.
Introduction:
This quarter’s lessons from the sec-
ond half of the six months course
styled, The Gospel of the kingdom
in which Jesus is seen in various
places and doing divers works in the
establishment of His kingdom in the
hearts and lives of men.
Lesson I. Confessing and following
Christ, Matt 16:13-26.
The central fact is Peter’s confes-
sion. The central truth taught is that
in order to properly confess Christ
one must follow Him to the end, with
unswerving faith.
Lesson II. The Child and the King-
dom. Matt. 18:1-6, 12-14; 19:13-16.
Jesus taught from a little child
that in the sipitual realm, self-abase-
ment, humility and childlike faith is
the way to nobility, and exaltation in
the sight of God. All other roads lead
nowhere. He that would be great
among you must be your servant.
Lesson III.—Jesus teaches Forgive-
ness. Matt. 18:21-35.
The outstanding thought advanced
in this lesson is that no one can ex-
pect forgiveness from God unless and
until he or she has forgiven others,
who have tresspassed against them
as they have transgressed God. Our
forgiveness of others is the measure
of God’s forgiveness to us.
Lesson IV. Our All For the King-
dom. Matt. 19:16-30.
The rich young ruler was all right
in a great many things of little im-
portance, but in the thing of great
moment he was grossly in error.
Jesus taught that it is impossible, for
they that trust in riches to enter in-
to the kingdom of Heaven. Thus em-
phasizing the necessity of complete
surrender for those that would fol-
low Christ
Lesson V. The Standard of Great-
ness. Matt. 20:17-28.
The two sons of Zebedee were found
striving for the place of importance
and priority in the kingdom of Christ
for none other than selfish reasons.
Jesus rebuked them and taught them
that he that would be first, must con-
sider himself least and last. He that
exalteth himself will be abased, and
he that humbleth himself will be ex-

Dr. DuBois Resigns
The resignation of Dr. W. E. B.
DuBois, the noted scholar and writer,
from editorship of The Crisis, mem-
bership of the Spingarn Medal Com-
mittee and the from the Board of Di-
rectors of the National Association

ple does not come as a surprise. It
has been expected for several months.
Those who have followed the trend of
1118 writings during, the past six
months have forseen his latest action.
It was inevitable that DuBois and the
N. A. A. C. P. would part.
Regardless of the merits and de-
merits of the controversy that has
brough about his resignation, The Cri-
sis without DuBois will be like The
Nation without Oswald Garrison Vil-
ard. The American Mercury without'
H. L. Mencken or the New York
Times without Adolph Ochs. Founded
by the N. A. A. C. P. in 1910, Dr.

We regret the gross insinuations
of certain political marplots that
there was a more intimate connection
between Messrs. Insull and DePriest
than the latter admits. Our confidence
in the famous Congressman’s integ-
rity remains unshaken. His unim-
peachable record convinces us that
had he known from whence the $10,-
000 or $15,000 came, he would have
cast it back into the political pot with
expressions of horrors and revulsion.

Lesson VI. Jesus Acclaimed as
King. Matt. 21:1-14.
Drawing near to Jerusalem Jesus
sent two of His disciples into Beth-

was to ride into Jerusalem. On enter-

Shortly thereafter, goes the report,
our famous Congressman, who had
not been elevated to that high post,
came along with urgent need of cam-
paign funds. He repaired to the pot,
reached in and, like little Jack Horner
pulled out a plum: that is to say,

The employment of anesthetics has
been a great step forward in making
dental work more comfortable. You
need not fear the filling of * sensitive
tooth nor the extraction of an ab-
scessed tooth. These operations can
be done under a local anesthetic or
with the employment of nitrous ox-
ide, which many know by the name
of "laughing gas.” .
Modern dentistry,, by the scope of
its knowledge and equipment, has
contributed to a healthier and happier
race. One of the greatest functions
that the dental profession can per-
form is that of education. The dentist
is your friend and advisor on all mat-
ters pertaining to teeth and their
care. He can advise you on how to
brush and care for the teeth and
gums in order to keep them in the
healthiest condition. Consult him free-
ly and follow his advice. Dentistry is
not a luxury; it is a necessity; and
any fees paid a competent dentist for
his care and advice, because it con-
tributes to the health of your body
and mind, is money well spent. Your
own daily home care of the teeth
and gums is also time and energy
well spent. It pays large dividends.
LINES OF LIFE
By Birdelle Wycoff
NO LIFE IB ALWAYS LONELY
No life to always lonely.
No sadness lasts forever.
There to no colossal sorrow.
That time cannot discover.
Nor sorrow nor yet gladness.
For today has little to give.
But happy anticipation
Or memories of moments we live.
Lesson XI. Jesus on the Cross.
Matt. 27:33-50.
Jesus on the cross is a picture of
the supreme sacrifice being paid for
the sins of men, the spalling wicked-
ness of men, and the transcendent
love of God. Jesus the gift of love by
Jehovah was His gift to the world for
its redemption from misery and sin.
His death brought atonement for our
sins. ,
Lesson. XII. The Risen Lord and
the Great Commission. Matt. 28:1-10,
16-20.
Because of His resurrection Jesus
lives triumphant over death and the
grave. Because He lives, His follow-
ers live to do His bidding throughout
the world. The commission gives us
His command and the assurance of
His presence. The fact of His resur-
rection is that which justifies us in
serving Him.
WE SHOULD PRODUCE MORE OF THEM
It is said that “among the food producing animals of the
country, none stand higher than the cow and the chicken hen.
I he people of the country lean more heavily upon the two staple
foods, milk and eggs, than upon any other two foods.” P
As a race of people Negroes should produce more of them.

Comments.
In these lessons we have studied
about the Kingdom of Heaven. The
Kingdom of God is also mentioned in
the Bible. But the Kingdom of Heav-
en is distinguished from the Kingdom
of God in these respects: The king-
dom of God is universal and includes
all moral intelligences willingly sub-
ject to the will of God, whether an-
the kingdom of heaven is Messianic,
mediatorial, and has for its object the
establishment of the kingdom of God
in the earth.
The kingdom is entered by the new
birth. The kingdom of Heaven during
this age is entered by profession and
is a sphere of profession which may
be real or false.
The kingdom, of God comes not
with outward show, but is chiefly
that which is spiritual, while the
kingdom of heaven is organic and is
to be manifest in theory on the earth.
For the kingdom of Heaven merges
into the kingdom of God when Christ
shall having put all enemies under
His feet, shall deliver up the king-
dom unto God, even the father. The

bed are referred to are parables of
