Supreme Chancellor S. =. Green
has issued open letter addressed to
the Editor of the Houston, Texas
Informer. The Texan became wrathy
because Sir Green took the floor at
the Supreme Lodge Session recently
in Chicago and opposed the accept
ance of the invitation of the Grand
Lodge of Texas to hold the next SEES
sion at Dallas, Texas. The editor OF
the Informer charged that ne in
suited his Grand Jurisdiction and the
people of the Southland. Supreme
Chancellor Green declared that ne
would never agree to hold session
of the Supreme Lodge in the Far
South as long as racial discrimina-
tons continue.
The reply is too lengthy for repro
duction this week, but it is one of the
most remarkable publications that
has ever emanated from the office Of
the Supreme Chancellor. 1t is oc-
casioning widespread comment and
may result in a schism closely akin
to the one that separated the Meth |
odist Church into two bodies, one
North and the other South.

We have received copy OF the
1927 intercollegiate Wonder Book OF
The Negro in Chicago, 1779 to 1927.
We must admit that we were stag
gered as we perused the pages OF
this properly designated Wonder
Book". We were under the I'M
nression that we had seen and reaa
some fine productions of this KIND
and character, but we must ADMIT
that this production exceeds them all
Fredrie H. Robb styles himself edl-
tor-in-chief. but he does so modestly'
awarding praise to scores of others,
who aided in the preparation OF one
of the most remarkable local produc-
tions ever placed before the public.
The book or pamphlet contains
232 pages, printed on coated book
The cover is an artistic production
finished in gold bronze with an
original production. 1t is Impossible
to describe this masterpiece OF the
printers art. 1t is profusely illus
trated and would do credit to any
city without regard to race or color
That it will tend to increase Chi
cago's colored population goes with
out saying. That it will arouse
just pride and feeling of exulta
ton among our people, who reside IL
that progressive city is self-evident.
We have 'hankering" for Yir
