state of Texas fer Negro graduate
and professional stud nts who de
sire to continue their education in
Institutions of higher learning and

deal Of time To the study of the
manner in which this emergency
is being met in other states and
in a very comprehensive brochure,
las compiled his findings ard re
concentrations. Two conferences
Lave been hsld with Governor Al
lred who is openly in favor of she
legislation at the earliest possible
time. With the adjournment of the
special session of the state legisla-
turo only a short time ago, and
with the declaration of Governor
Alfred that he does not contem-
Plate calling another, it is doubtful
whether or not action can be had
hafore next spring, but Mrs. Ames
has planned to make contacts with
members of the legislature in all
parts of the state to inform them
of the provisions of the bill, rsa
sons for its enactment into law,
and to secure their commitment to
2 favorable vote in both the House
and the Senate when the bill is
presented at Austin.
Mrs. Ames is one of the best
known women in the South in her
former work in Texas and in her
present work of the powerful or

men opposed to lynching. In the
absence of DIR. Will Alexander.

Mr.. Johnon very beautifully trac
ed the problem of the Negro from
the time the first boat landed in

well placed analogies brought it up
to the present day where he prov
ed that their still exists today the
same two types of Negroes that ex
listed during slavery time namely
"the big house Negro and the field
hand" Mr.. Johnson stated vehe
mently that here is the problem
that must be solved if the Negro
hopes to effect a united mass
front. The bridge of obstruction
that stands between the worker
and the professional class must be
moved for herein lies the trouble.
The professional man receives
his support from the masses, there
fore it is pertinent that the profes

the house was open for questions
of which Mr.. Johnson very INTEL
igently answered, to the satisfac
ton Of all.

WONDERING
BY T. A. HALL
On Himself

Oft Atitubch
! wonder sometimes If Jesus could see
when suffering and dying on calvary''
Down through the ages to where 1 was
born
To my father and mother on their little
farm.
Twas in old Milford Neck, right close
to the bay
In the month of September on the 18th
day
came forth wriggIing and I've wrig-
But I've done all my wriggling at my
own expense. IA
For ! always liked fun and guess al
But I never played joke on Jim. John
or Will
For il I wanted fun 1 found It some
way
Without hurting another and spelling
their day.
So here I am still on top of the rod
Still playing clean with my neighbors
and God
don't know how much longer I'll stay
But while | am here III keep living
For God has written some things in His
word
hat " Huc are lne most WONDERFUL
things ever heard
He sat right before us both evil and
good,
And said choose the right and we know
that we should
So this is my answer-it may not suit
you
It's the way that see it and it's the
best can do
He gave Himself for us our battles to
fight
And If we find mercy we'm have to do
right.
But wonder if He saw me as I now
As He hung that day on ,calvary's. limb
I don't have to wonder. / know IL is
true
For He die it to save me and that's
Why tell you.
For I'm telling the story to all that will
hear
And I'm going to keep telling it as long
as ! am here
And when I stop telling it. you can just
dig hole
And. roll me into it. and say poor old
soul"
