HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY. MARCH 15, 1924
FEDERAL OFFICES FOR A FEW, OR RIGHTS FOR ALL.
The editor of the Galveston City Times, William H. Noble, Jr.,
takes The Informer to task for our recent editorial on “Cohen,
Politics and Race Rights;” wherein we assumed the position that
the political leaders of our race should not merely concentrate and
center their attack on a few federal offices, but should be more
concerned and interested in the entire race, enjoying and exer-
cising all their inalienable and constitutional rights, warranties
and prerogatives.
In his editorialette, the Island City scribe pays his respects to
The Informer in the following manner:
Unjust political sentiment of The Houston Informer last week
along the line of hinting against the colored leaders of the repub-
lican party like Hon. Walter L. Cohen and others being active for
high political recognition is not wise, because the thought is not
forward, neither fair. The Times hopes that The Houston Inform-
er and some few other publications will stop writing so many
words in the wrong direction. The political welfare of the colored
people in Texas and all other states is just as essential to be
safe-guarded as well as their other rights of welfare. What few
political positions of presidential size given the colored of the
party in the South during the past twenty years have all been
taken from them on the ground of political fallacy that to keep
the few Southern colored republicans out of office the South
would go white republican, and all passing events have shown the
failure of such and the time is now at hand for all real leaders of
the republican party's council of this nation to take action and set
down upon it. The Times is glad to note that the Lincoln Republi-
can League leaders in conference in Chicago last month is sound-
ing a new ring in the nation's republican equation for justice,
etc., and that such distinguished leaders as Hon. Medville Mc-
Cormick, U. S. senator; Hon. John T. Adams, republican national
chairman, showed a new ray of hope as to being justly broad
towards our race. Why, the Times has information nearly a gen-
eration old of big Southern democrats indorsing colored republi-
cans of character, ability, etc., for leading positions. The editor
of The Houston Informer was hardly in the world and so he should
grow a little more careful about what he thinks best, as his view-
on such great subjects is out of order and the City Times so
rules.
Cohen or any other race man by invoking “senatorial courtesy”
and raising the howl that said colored citizen is “personally ob-
jectionable” to them! t
Which would any sane and race-loving man prefer: to see Cohen
land a fat, juicy federal post at New Orleans, while thousands of
his race are treated worse than cattle and swine in the Pelican
State and denied and refused virtually all of their guaranteed
political, civic and economic rights; or to see all the colored people
of Louisiana (and other Southern states, as for that matter) exer-
cising and enjoying the same rights and privileges as other Ameri-
can citizens, even if it meant that men of Cohen’s calibre must
forego and relinquish their claims to such public offices?
Give the colored race, or any other race, the right to use the
ballot in all elections and you need not have any fear about the
offices—they are a natural consequence.
In demanding that Cohen be confirmed or kept in office, the
republican leaders are trying to play a shrewd and adroit game of
politics, ostensibly manifesting and evincing so much concern and
interest in the race; yet we have to hear or read about these
same white leaders contending for the enforcement and observ-
ance of the 13th and 14th amendments to the federal constitution,
which the South has treated as a “mere scrap of paper.”
The Informer contends and insists that, if these republican lead-
ers and politicians are anxious to see the colored citizens of the
South come into full possession of their constitutional and funda-
mental rights and guarantees, why do they not put forth some
real efforts to remove from our racial ankles the shackles of dis-
franchisement, segregation, jim-crowism, lynch law and divers
other injustices and inequalities?
The Informer has very little faith in any man or set of men,
who professes or profess a willingness and desire to give some
race man a little office, but would deny both him and his race
their God-given, sacred and constitutional rights!
God pity the man who has eyes to see and can not see; ears to
hear and can not hear; brains to think and can not think! It
were better that a millstone were tied around his neck and he be
cast into the depths of the sea!
Bringing the matter nearer home: what is it that makes Gal-
veston such a fine place for colored residents and citizens? Is it
because some few race men hold public offices there (a supposi-
tion not substantiated by facts) ? Is it because black political lead-
ers feast at the pie counter? Not much! It is because the colored
people in the Island City can exercise their rights as voters and
citizens, which privilege is worth infinitely more than a train-
load of public offices!
In a democratic republic such as ours, men speak with the ballot
and the voteless man is voiceless; and, even though he or one of
his number may be tendered a public office or elevated to a posi-
tion of trust and authority, his status as a political serf, civic
slave and economic bondsman is not altered one whit, but is often
intensified and rendered more unbearable and humiliating.
No, Br’er Noble, The Informer has never preached a compro-
mising doctrine and never will; but this paper can not subscribe
to the doctrine that the rights of a few men to hold office should
be paramount and take precedence over the rights of the entire
race.
In other words, the rights of the many should not be sub-
servient and commercialized for the rights of a few politicians
and office-seekers.
Expressed another way, give the race its rights and we shall
get the offices, or report to heaven the reason why!
If this be political heresy—if this makes us “out of order,”—
yea, if this be treason, then make the most of it! Selah!

PRACTICE OF PYRAMIDING RENTS.
The Informer does not care to enter into a journalistic contro-
versy about the Cohen appointment, for this paper not only favors
a colored citizen occupying a high federal office in New York,
Chicago, New Orleans, but in even Houston and Galveston, if such
man possesses the qualifications for the position he holds.
Our esteemed Island City contemporary evidently did not read
our editorial understamlingly, or else he did not have his “specks”
on at the time and, instead of seeing everything in the said editor-
ial, he undoubtedly only saw every other thing.
Br’er Noble, like so many old-timers of the race, seems to think
that old age and long residence give him a monopoly on all the
sense and that any person who dares to express an opinion that
does not meet his hearty and unstinted approbation, is “out of
order” and such tommyrot.
Every republican administration since Grant has appointed
some colored man to high office or tendered him the position; yet
each succeeding administration finds the colored race enjoying
and exercising less of its political rights and privileges.
The Informer contends that if our political leaders merely lay
down a box barrage for a few federal plums and then catch a few
of them, they have obtained their reward, received their com-
pensation and attained their objective.
This paper takes the position now, as it took in the editorial
at which the Galveston editor takes umbrage, that the right to
hold a federal office should not and does not transcend the rights
of all the people.
Going a bit further, The Informer would much rather see every
colored man and woman in America enjoying all his and her
rights under the constitution (if it became necessary to forego all
public offices) than to see a handful of politicians feasting sumptu-
ously at the federal pie counter, while teeming millions of their
racial brothers and sisters are barely eking out an existence on
cfumbs and huskings.
(if people can not exercise their elective franchise rights, how
cin they safeguard their political welfare?
Tif the colored people in Louisiana and other Southern states
h&d a voice in the various elections, you would not witness the
sickening and sorrowful spectacle of Dixie senators opposing
a *
In a war against high rents, the Chinese of Chicago have or-
ganized among themselves and agreed that where one of their race
is forced to vacate a house because of increased rent, no other
member of their race will move into the place.
But our people offer a striking contrast, not only in Chicago
and other Northern cities, but right here in Houston.
In all colored residential districts rents have soared skyward in
the last few years, and our people have been largely responsible
for this pyramiding of rental prices.
We mention a case that is one of the many occurring here. A
landlord was having a rent house erected in the Fourth Ward and
one colored woman passed by and engaged the house, offering
to pay a rental of $4.50 per week.
Before the house was completed another colored woman offered
the owner $6 per week, and it is needless to say she got the house
when it was completed.
Before she and her family had been in the house two weeks,
another colored woman saw the beautiful, little new house and
I imagined that she could afford to exceed the amount paid by the
occupant.
1 What did she do? She went to the owner and offered $7 per
week for the house and the house was hers.
Having failed to count the cost before essaying to pay this high
! rent (high when her earning capacity was considered), she occu-
pied the house about two weeks, when she found herself unable
1 to give the owner seven bucks every Sunday morning.
By outbidding each other on the house, these colored women not
only embarrassed and further pauperized themselves and their
49— Recall an incident which occur-
red at the battle of Monterery?
A Negro saved the life of General
Zachary Taylor at the battle of Mon-
terey. A Mexican was aiming a dead-
ly blow at the general, when the Ne-
gro sprang between them, slew the
Mexican and received a deep wound
from a lance. The Negro was a slave
at the time, but was afterwards eman-
cipated by President Taylor.
50— Did Negroes ever own and op-
erate a carnival?
On May 24, 1923, the first and only
Negro-owned and operated carnival
opened at Anacostia, Maryland, the
birthplace of the illustrious Fred Doug-
lass. The carnival, composed of the
Jones-Jenkins minstrels, a dog and
pony show, a merry-go-round, aerial
swings, doll rack, piledriver, freaks
and lunch stands, with eight conces-
sion stands, and featuring Albert
Gaines, acrobat, is owned and operated
by S. H. Dudley, president and general
manager; Joe Jones, secretary-treas-
urer; Dad James, general superinten-
dent, and W. C. Brown, general agent,
all of whom are showmen of long ex-
perience.
51— Who was Mandombi?
A tablet has been put up in the
Princess Beatrice ward of the London
English hospital to commemorate the
African chief, Mandombi, whose self-
sacrifice was the means of the dis-
covery of the cause of the scourge of
sleeping sickness. Mandombi was
doomed by the disease, but with great
courage submitted to experiments
which enabled Dr. Arthur Fagan to
trace the cause of the disease. Dr.
Fagan, as the tablet records, examined
the blood of the patient every four
hours for two months. The tablet has
been placed over the bed in which the
chief made his heroic sacrifice.
52— Who was Charles E. Nash?
Conspicuous in the Negro annals of
the civil war is the case of Charles E.
Nash, lie received a primary educa-
tion in the schools of New Orleans,
but had educated himself largely by
his own efforts. In 1863 he enlisted
in the Eighty-third Regiment, United
States Chasseurs d’Afrique and be-
came acting sergeant-major of that
command. At the storming of Fort
Blakely- he lost a leg and was honor-
ably discharged. He later became a
member of the United States house of
congress.
53— What Negro soldier rode horse-
back from Xenia, Ohio, to Washington,
D. C., to prove his fitness for war serv-
ice?
During the world war, Colonel
Charles Young was disqualified as be-
ing physicall unfit, despite the fact
that he rode horseback all the way
from Xenia, Ohio, to Washington, near-
ly 500 miles, In 75 hours, walking 15
minutes out of every hour. In Sep-
tember, 1921, while serving as mili-
tary attache of the U. S. government
in Liberia, he was dispatched on co'n-
fidential business down the West
Coast. He died in Lagas, Nigeria,
WeBt Africa, in January, 1922, and his
remains were brought home and in-
terred, with full military honors, in
Arlington cemetery on June 1, 1922.
"ALL GOD'S CHILLUN GOT WINGS.”
54—From whence did come the scale
of the English and American courts as
they exist today?
If you will read Exodus, 18th chap-
ter, 12 to 27th verses, you will be con-
vinced that the scale of English and
American courts as they exist today
came from Jethro, a priest of Midlan,
who was the father-in-law of Moses.
Jethro, who, before attaining the priest-
hood, was called Rueul, was called
RueuI, was the son of Esau and Adah,
daughter of Elon, the Hittite, who was
a Negro.
Next Week’s Whatnots.
Those who own this play have put
out a lot of well-worded propaganda in
favor of it. They haVe tried to fore-
stall criticism of the thing by saying
that it was all “for art’s sake.” Art
has nothing necessarily to do with
false impressions, however. And evil
propaganda cannot win impunity by
putting on a cloak of “art.” Most liars
are full of “art.” Sinon was an artist.
The very nature of this play is to
create sentiment against mixed schools
of white and black, especially in the
North where the common schgl has
been so far maintained. The play
shows that a little white girl and a
little black boy, because they came in
contact in the same public school, fell
in love with each other; that this love
lasted into later years over many
vicissitudes; that they married, even
when the girl was not fit to marry;
and that it all turned out bad, terri-
ble!
At present the most actively grow-
ing sentiment in the North is one
against the mixed school. "If a black
| boy and a white boy attend the same
1 schools and get the same education,
said one fellow naively in Springfield,
Ohio, "they will want the same things.”
That is tne very best reason, of
course, ‘for sending all the children to
the same school, but In the eyes of a
race prejudice, it becomes the source
of the strongest sentiment against
sending the proscribed race to the
school with the “chosen.” That is
plain, and that is logical. But while
that is the natural side of the matter
for American race prejudice to take; it
would be a foolish side for the Ameri-
can Negro. It is to the Negro’s inter-
est that the black child should have
the same ambitions and the same
chances that other Americans have.
No segregated system wilL preserve
this equality or foster it. To put you
out is to put you under. Out and un-
der are convertible terms in this case.
“Ail God’s Chillun Got Wings,"
whether it was so intended or not, is
fuel for this growing and bad senti-
ment against mixed schools in the
North. And nobody has yet convinced
us that it was not so intended. This
play is dangercuis to the democracy of
the Northern public schools—such de-
mocracy as they still have—some of
them. While the play, indirectly, sup-
ports the South, it would hardly be
allowed in the South, for the South is
so silly that it cannot stand to . see a
black man and a white woman in love
even In a play or in a picture. And
this play is not needed by the prejudice
of the South; segregated schools, with
all their hellish robbery, already exist
there. But it i^ in the North that this
play will do “good,” from the Ku Klux
Klan point of view.
And if the owners of this thing have
not yet found it out, we want to in-
form them that the Ku Klux would
pay to have just such a play as this
put on. Some colored people in it?
O, that’s nothing. Colored people are
no better than white people. You can
hire some of them to do anything that
the law allows, If you have money
enough. And the law certainly does
not make It an offense for a colored
man or woman to reflect on their race
in plays—or to help the Ku Klux In
any other way.
Yes—“All God’s Chillun Got Wings”
—but remember also: “Everybody talk-
in’ 'bout heaven ain’t goin’ there!”

families, but they gave a hike to a rental price that the owner had: * 59—what happened in Boston, Mass.,
never dreamed of when constructing the house.
And numbers of such cases might be cited here, and we learn
that our people are pulling off this same stunt in the North and
East, and that rents are becoming almost prohibitive.
Our people should learn some sense between now and judgment
day, for we are certainly our own worst enemies and when it comes
to pulling off bonehead stunts and committing monumental
blunders, we are past masters!
Individually, it is an easy matter to boost rents, but it requires
organized effort, such as the Chinese are doing in the Windy City,
to reduce rents or keep them at their present level.
Permit us to remark in passing that our people should more
and more enter the home owning class, and stop paying for places
several times and then ultimately discover that all they have to
show for the money expended is a pile of rent receipts.
It is so easy to acquire a home nowadays that there is hardly
any excuse for such a large number of renters among our people
here and elsewhere; especially where they earn good wages and
have such splendid chances to buy and pay for homes on the
deferred payment plan.
But let us stop this hellish and damnable practice of always
trying to cut each other’s throats, for in the end we are the great-
est and only sufferers.
Our people are far from being educated, for we have apparently
confused book learning with education.
