An Accomplishment

The highest duty of any publication is
the efficient service Of its public In the pre-
sentation of facts and the Interpretation OF
those facts in terms Of their value to that
public.
THE best newspapers are those which
constantly seek facts concerning men and or
carnations and give them publicity EARLY.
Heretofore Negro Journalists, especially
in Texas have not been so situated as to be
able to do this. They have been forced by
circumstance to delay the publication be-
cause their facilities did not admit OF
SPEED in the transmission and dispensing
of news
During the past Grand Lodge season
THE DALLAS EXPRESS has accomplished
fact never before heard of In Texas jour-
nalsm.
It has been represented at every Grand
Lodge Of Importance in the State and has
given first hand news OF their doings WHILE
1T WAS WAS NEWS.
Nor has its service been limited to Texas
news alone
For the past four years 1t has con-
nected itself with every agency for news
gathering among Negroes in America Canada
and even England. II has had special
representative to visit Africa. particularly
Liberia And 1t has printed NEWs--FACTS
Things Of more than passing interest
1T has brought the outside world into
Texas homes.
1t has carried the news of Texas to the
outside world
And 1t has done It on a bigger scale
and in more efficient manner than Its
competitors.
These things have been made possible
because THE EXPRESS has not allowed
circumstance or expense to hinder It.
1t has a complete modern equipment
and a competent force Of workmen who
take pride in their service.
1t has q management which Is conse-
Grated to the cause Of news service.
1T is an institution which realizes that
the public which 1t serves demands the
best.
1t furnishes it, and it will continue to
furnish it,
ITS only hope is that the people which
Ii services realize the Importance to them of
this service and help in Its improvement and
extension.
The EXPRESS represents Texas at It's
best.
Are you one of those whom it serves?
If not why not.

Burns, 20 lay plans for his vindication
This 10 totally unhesrd of procedure
and Is undoubtedly calculated to bias
the proceedings and to make imposs ssible
proper presentation of evidence to
support the impeachment charges
Obviously not all of the evidence car
be presented in the way it demands
and can conceive of the likelihood
that ths Judiciary Committee on this
partial showing may without furthe,
ado declare the impeachment charge
baselegs and Mr.. Daugherty will be
vindseated or whitewashed. 1t mus,
be remembered that, regardless of the
verdict in the recent election, the lame
ducks still live in Congress, and those
who have been repudiated by the people
still control in Office"
Because of its belief that "the cards
are being stacked" the executive coun.

Real Economy.

Transparent animals are remark
able Yet recent studies of two larval
cells which possess this popularity
and which belong to one Of the gov
eminent bureaus at Washington, seem
to show that among the possible, adj
vantages of being transparent is listed
economy in personal decoration.
In ordinary Opaque animals the col
or markings are symmetrical on both
sides of the body, but this is not the.
case with the transparent eels. When
looked at from one side these cells APP
pear to have seven large, black spots
arranged at nearly regular intervals
along the length of it's body; closer
examination shows that in each case
three spots are on the left side and
four on the right. They are irreg-
ularly spaced, but in such manner
that on looking through the body all
seven appear in symmetrical row.
