INTELLIGENCE AND INTEGRITY MAKES MEN
AND RACES GREAT
HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1933
A FITTING HONOR
When a man has given his life in the service of his community
and state, it is fitting that due recognition of the fact be express-
ed by his fellow citizens. Too often Negroes have failed to show
this kind of appreciation and good judgment, and The Informer
and Freeman views as indicative of progress the recent tribute
paid to Professor James D. Ryan.
Prof. Ryan has been a definite asset to Houston. He has al-
ways been interested in things which might promote the welfare
of his race. He has been a true friend and a devoted public serv-
ant May we still have the good judgment in ever increasing pro-
portions in the future to honor, encourage, and appreciate our
worthy citizens.
WILL FISK ABDICATE?
Will Fisk University abdicate its position of leadership in the
field of Negro folk music? The question is important not only
for Fisk, but for the future attitude of the Negro in America to-
wards his music, and it arises from the comments of critics and
the answer of the director, concerning the singing of the Fisk
choir on it recent tour. The comment of the Cincinnati Times-

“I GRIND FEED”
On one of the highways leading out of Houston there is this
striking advertisement near the entrance to a little farm house:
“I grind feed.” “This is my task,” says this wise farmer; “I can
grind the feed of the community to which I belong. I can do this
useful and needed thing for my neighbors and for my communi-
ty.” Something to think about, isn’t it?
What can you do, young man, with the beautifully engraved di-
ploma and the degree or two that name college has bestowed upon
you at great expense to the taxpayers or at the great sacrifice of "
some mother over the wash tub or some father at the hands of a
the plow? Can you do any useful and needed thing which your
community needs and wants done? What can you do, young •
lady, with your college acquisitions? •
These are important questions which Negroes must sooner or •
later learn to answer or starve.
A SURPRISE FROM BRISBANE
It was somewhat of a surprise to find Arthur Brisbane indulg-
ing his temptation to use a “nigger” story to illustrate what
might have otherwise been a wholesome suggestion. “Eeney,
meeney, miney, mo, catch a nigger by his toe,” say Mr. Brisbane
in one of his late syndicated articles.
With all of his experience it does seem to The Informer and

Freeman that Arthur Brisbane could have thought of some other t
illustration besides a stab at Negroes with which to bring home a ■
truth which he was sending out for millions of people to read.
WHAT A CONTRAST!
The recent movement on the part of some members of the Tex-
as legislature to abolish eight institutions of higher leaning for
the white people of the state shows by contrast just how much
the education of Negro boys and girls is being neglected by the
lawmakers of the Lone Star State. In plain English this means
that there are so many institutions in Texas to which white boys
and girls may go for training above the high school at the ex-
pense of the state, that some legislators feel that at least eight
of them may be abolished without serious jeopardy to the educa-
tional opportunities of their children.
When this state of things is contemplated the reasons become .
more compelling for at least the making of a first class universi- i
ty out of the Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College,
the only state institution for higher learning among Negroes.
POLICE BRUTALITIES
In some sections of the South one of the biggest problems of
Negroes is the lawless law enforcement brought into play so read-
ily where they are concerned. The recent clubbing and then
shooting of Levon Carlock in Memphis by six officers, upon the
alleged ground that he was trying to escape, is just another in-
stance of such lawless law enforcement.
In addition to the lawlessness of it, there is nothing more cow-
ardly than for men to use the mask of lawful power put into their
hands as a screen and protection for the wreaking of private ven-
geance upon innocent victims.

Announcement was made this week Roosevelt called Eddie Savoy, 64
years a messenger at the state de-
partment, to the White House to bid
him goodbye as he ended his services
with the government because of old

to the Carolina Times that Thomas
Hocutt, colored youth, made formal
application for and was refused en-
trance to the University of North
Carolina. Young Mr. Hocutt seems
to be qualified to all but one respect
—he is colored The action taken by
the university to refusing admittance
to the young man is to form the basis

Miss Isabelle Washington and Rev.
Adam C. Powell, Jr., are one. Their
marriage was solemnized at Abys-
sinia Baptist Church, New York City,
which Rev. Powell, Jr., assists his
father in pastoring, before an im-
mense crowd of three thousand. Mrs.
Powell was a radiant bride, according
to reports, and it was evidently the
happiest day of young Mr. Powell’s
life. Everybody else seemed happy,
too, including the church membership
which gave its consent to the marri-
age and which blissfully announced
to would-be critics to keep hands off;
that young Adam didn’t of course
have to ask permission, but that it
are the right thing to do.
The ceremony was in the most
modern vogue. There was no wed-
ding march. The couple simply en-
tered from the sides of the church.
There was no “obey” in the service
and the couple replied “we do” in uni-
ben to the final question in the cere-
mony. The bride wore an afternoon
dress and hat to match of the new
Eleanor Mae; the dress being trimmed
to real lace. It touched the floor in
front. Her only attendant, her sis-
ter, Miss Fredi Washington, well
known Broadway star, wore beige.
She, too, wore a hat. Both of the
dresses were designed by a well
known fashionable designer.
The Pittsburgh Courier gets a hard
knock from the Philadelphia Tribune
this week which declares: “It seems
to me that fearless George Schuyler
and the courageous Pittsburgh Cou-
rier could use their influence and
to drop around at any old time he
wished.
“Seems like our new president is
sort of human. We are reminded that
he saluted the drum major when the
Negro Elks band passed in the in- ■
augural parade and again lifted his
hat when the Negro Grand Army unit
passed in review.”
The Philadelphia Tribune also takes
its cue from Mr. Roosevelt for a very
nice and very timely editorial entitled
“A Moratorium on Talk." The Tri-
bune says: "The Bible upon which
President Roosevelt placed his hand
when he took the solmen office, was
turned to the 18th chapter of Corin-
thians:
‘Though I speak with the ton-
gues of man and of angels and
have not charity, I am become *
as a sounding brass, or a tinkling
cymbal.’
"This is indicative of the courage
of the president and the policies
which he will follow. For the past
week, the president has not been en-
gaged in prophesying and talking and
calling commissions, but he has given
to America positive action.
“We have had altogether too much
talk and not enough action, not only
in the chief executive office of the
United States, but in our public life
generally. It is to be hoped that the
American Negro will declare a mora-
torium on talking and get down to
systematic planning and positive ac-
iton. . . . The people who are always
talking about building up Negro busi-
ness and yet do nothing for it must
be classed among that crowd of peo-
ple who talk much and do little. They
are as sounding brass or a tinkling
cymbal.”
PRISONS AND
PRISONERS
By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL
Conducting this “Prisons and Pris-
oners” column for our School News,
has, more or less, put me on the
“spot” locally. It might surprise the
average reader to know the number
of communications this columnist re-
ceives, directly and indirectly, from
fellow-prisoners.
power to get a few teachers of color
on the pay roll in Pittsburgh. They
desire to clean up the world, but can’t
see the dirt on their own door step.
Perhaps some of my readers do not
know that not one Negro teacher is
employed in Pittsburgh.”
What about that Schuyler? The
above was news to us, but we do re-
member something about your want-
ing to clean up Beal street, and Mis-
Not all of these communications are
complimentary either. Some of the
correspondents seem to take particu-
lar delight, when anything happens,
to send me their viewpoints showing
conclusively, in their opinion, that
things do not happen in prison in as
a beatific manner as I seem to depict
them.
These apparent differences of opin-
ion cover every phase of prison ex-
istence. Every one seems to have a
pet grief and they must think that I
possess some mysterious influence
whereby I can correct the evils, imagi-
nary or otherwise, simply by writing
a column on the subject.
As it is absolutely impossible for
me to see, or even communicate with,
these many correspondents I am ask-
ing the editor to be indulgent and let
me use this space, this week, in re-
plying, indirectly, to those who have
honored my efforts by reading after
me each week even though they do
not necessarily agree with me, or
think that I go far enough into cer-
tan subjects that are extremely per-
sonal to prisoners.
In the first place I would explain
that no communication is ignored.
Briefly, the contents of each message,
verbal or written, is recorded and
compiled in a convenient manner for
future reference. Quite a few of the
communications I am able to answer
in some personal manner, especially
in the cases where all the correspond-
ent seeks is some information that I
have at hand through years of com-
piling data.
At other times it is possible, and
within my province, to search out the
facts required and relay them accord-
ingly. Most of the communications,
however, it is impossible for me to
reply to in any personal manner and
many subjects, while entirely worthy
and logical, are not such that can be
handled in a column such as this one.
Even these subjects, however, have
been noted and if ever I am able to
enlarge my efforts on behalf of pris-
ons and prisoners I will have quite a
file of material to refer to.
No explanation seems necessary to
defend a “No” that I have had to
give several communicants, at varioua
times, for not treating on subjects
that seemed to be more suitable for
a publicity "puff’ artist than a pris-
ons and prisoners commentator.
Again, it should not be necessary
to defend a policy of steering clear of
all matters that are of a strictly ra-
cial, religious or prison caste slant,
and even though I recognize the
claims of many of my correspondents
my belief is that they can best be
ironed out through personal confer-
ences with the prison officials rather
than voicing them in School News.
Then, too, my communicants bring
up matters that are controlled entire-
ly at Lansing, and in some cases the
local administration is almost as help-
less in the matter as are the prisoners
but all prisoners whose number is old
enough to have become dry, know the
futileness, not to even mention diplo-
macy and sagaciousness, to maintain
a “hands off’ policy on all matters,
the control of which is a Lansing
matter.
With the foregoing explanations,
the readers of this column will, per-
haps, more fully realize my position
not only as a columnist but as a pris-
oner, and one who,, regardless of cir-
cumstances. advises others to, and
does himself in every possible way.

To which Ray Francis Brown, director of the Fisk choir and
school of music replies: “Cultured people take their religion with
some restraint and with some merging of the intellectual with the
emotional, and they take their music in the same way. Much of
the lack of a certain kind of emotional abandon in our singing
which was deplored by some critics will continue, to be found in
the singing of Fisk students.” Mr. Brown says further, “This is
the only means, too, by which there can be a future development
of music among Negroes.”
So, there we are again with an expression of the new approach
to Negro education. While young John Work is removed from
the musical picture at Fisk, there comes on the scene a young

him to do except to try to fit Fisk’s musical outlook to his own
capactities.
But Negroes will not be deceived. Mr. Brown’s degrees in mu-
sic to the contrary notwithstanding, we shall have sense enough
to know that the thing which the late Professor Work and the
late “Daddy” Myers put into Negro spirituals to make them stir
two continents is not a thing to be scoffed at, or to be put lightly
aside at even the suggestion of Ray Francis Brown. Meanwhile,
whether Fisk abdicates or sticks to her moorings, we shall look
to young William Dawson at Tuskegee and young John Work, and
their like, for advice concerning the future of Negro music. They
will tell us that we should not try to make our music “white.”
DISCRIMINATION IN PUBLIC WORKS
The fight which the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People is waging against the vicious practice of dis-
crimination against Negroes in employment on public works is a
service which is getting results, and which Negroes should ap-
preciate and support in larger proportions. This fight has already
brought the passage of a bill designed to prevent such descrimina-
tion in Indiana, and it is destined to bring results in the deplora-
ble conditions on the government construction projects on the
lower Mississippi.
There can be no effective stop put to injustice and wrong to-
ward the twelve million Negroes of this nation in private life, un-
til an effective stop is put to wrong and injustice toward them in
the life and activities of government. Congratulations to the N.
A. A. C. P.
A THOUGHT FROM THE INDIAN
The Indian is often referred to as belonging to a backward race.
But the fact that fourteen thousand of them have signed a peti-
tion asking President Roosevelt to give them a hand in the “new
deal" by permitting them a “say” in the selection of the new com-
missioner of Indian affairs, shows that Indians do have much
good sense. Negroes might take a thought from them.

He told her to get Los Angeles on the telephone. She returned
to tell him that all of the wires were down, and the president re-

How often do we stop and say, “It can't be done,” at the sight
of the first obstacle in our path. Instead of being quitters, let
us take our lesson from our great president, who is now leading
the nation forward out of its doldrums. Let ns learn the will to
win. Let us learn to “get in touch with Los Angeles anyway,”
whether the wires are down or not.
A COURSE IN MATRIMONY
Dorothy Dix tells us that a leading American university has
established a chair in the ancient art and practice of matrimony.
In the opinion of The Informer and Freeman this is a wise step
which should be quickly followed by all American colleges. We
especially urge it upon the Negro colleges as a course of far more
concern and importance to their students than many of the far-
fetched courses which are constantly being added as fast as limit-
cd budgets will permit.
One of the first things that the average young man and young
woman think about upon the completion of their college work is
THE LOYALTY OF
OUR POOR-
The Chicago Bee carries this week
an editorial on conditions of the
South. The editorial reads in parts:
“The lynching belt of the south, which
includes the Bible Belt of that bloody
region, lays claim to the medal of dis-
honor because of the latest barbaric
outburst of its babarian natives.
From the vicinity of Atlanta, Ga.,
comes the news of an incident calcu-
lated to arouse the contempt of the
heathen even though it fails to incite
the disgust and righteous anger of
the so-called Christianized Americans.
The pastor of the Christian church of
a surburb of Atlanta was discoursing
on the gospels to his hypocrital con-
gregation who had assembled sup-
posedly to meet with their God. In
the midst of his discourse on the
beauties of life eternal, an excited
lounger rushed in and informed the
preacher that a man of color was seen
to the vicinity carrying a shotgun. At
once Jesus and God were forgotten,
the lyncher-preacher pinned on the
badge of a deputy and led his mur-
derous flock in search of the victim.
The Atlanta World, however, by the
way, which was much nearer to the
scene of action, takes exception to
this opinion expressed by the Bee and
echoed by several other members of
the Negro press. The World takes the
view that there are many bad char-
acters in the Negro race just as there
