We are fighting and shedding our hat that our nation and the nations of the world may make their laws harmony with the Divine laws and harmony with all things a Goddang people hold dear. Man can be free and happy in a country governed by laws made in accordance with the laws of God. There are two masses of people in this country, loyal disloyel, friend and foe. He who is to do all he can to help win the war is not for us, but against us and should be treated as an enemy. Lincoln once said, "The man who lands by and says nothing when the evil of his government is discussed not be misunderstood. If not hindered, he is sure to help the enemy, much more if he talks ambiguously, sing 'buts' and 'ifs.'" Can the kaiser love God and at the same time murder defenseless men, men and children?

F. & A. M., was in Phoenix a few days this week and gave out some very important infor- mation concerning fraternal work among our people in that city. Mr. Stewart said that Thumb Butte lodge owns a lot at 140 North Granite street and has purchased 40,000 bricks and placed on the lot preparatory to building a magnificent hall. He said that they already have a large reception hall that has been opened for entertainments. Mr. Stewart is an enthusiastic booster for Prescott and believes that there is a lot of real good news every week that is being left out of the Prescott column. Send your news matter to our representative there, Mrs. Helen Harper Vance, and she will see to it that you receive proper mention in the Prescott column. Editors' Conference Yields Big Results WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29. Already there are numerous evidences that the recent conference of colored editors and leaders held in this city in June, which was called by Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, at the suggestion of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, to consider the relations of the 12,000,000 Negroes in this country with the general government itself, and to discuss ways and means how each might co-operate most effectively in the work of winning the present world-wide war, is bearing fruit. Three results of the most significant character have been worked out within the past fortnight that fully justify the holding of the conference and other issues not less far-reaching are well on their way toward a satisfactory conclusion. President Wilson's Clean-Cut Pro- nouncement Against Lynching The first in importance and human interest of the helpful results that may be said to have grown directly out of the recent conference of editors, and the co-operation of Negro leaders and friends of the Negro people, is the frank, positiv and unequivocal declaration of the President of the United States against the mob spirit, which has been sent to the four corners of the earth by cable and through the newspapers of this country. President Wilson's firm stand for law and order ranks with the finest of the great state papers that have emanated from the White House, and it has (Continued on page 6) Translators of Spanish Wanted Translators of Spanish are in demand. Women who translate Spanish accurately and quickly should communicate with the postal censorship board, Postoffice Department, Washington, D. C., for assignment to the postal censorship in New York and other port cities. "Our need in the past has been for translators of the numerous European languages," states the New York executive postal censorship committee. "But we have now obtained a sufficient number of persons to carry on the work, with the exception of Spanish translations. In fact, the work in this language is so voluminous that all vacancies caused by resignations of French and German translators and English readers are being filled by applicants who can offer Spanish in addition to thee languages. We have been making appointments for some months and expect to continue for some time to come." ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY GEN. PERSHING VISITS HOSPITAL; PRAISESTROOPS PARIS.—"Your country is proud of you and I am more than proud to command such men as you. You have fought splendidly." General Pershing thus addressed wounded American soldiers lying in the American Red Cross hospitals in Paris yesterday. In each ward of every hospital he talked to the men. He inquired if they were being well cared for, how and where they were wounded, what regiments they belonged to, and expressed his sympathy to scores of patients. General Pershing also talked to the physicians, surgeons and nurses and thanked them for the work they were doing in caring for the wounded. "None can ask more of any fighting force than that they should do as well as you have done," he said to his troops. The general added that he wished he could talk personally with each and every man in the hospital but this was impossible. So he asked Major Perkins to repeat his message and say to each individual man: "The American people are proud of you." Negroes Are in the Marne Battle WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE MARNE, July 17 (Wednesday). American Negro troops are helping to hold the allied line against the fifth German offensive. They requested the favor of being permitted to take over a part of the line of attack, though they had been holding part of a Frenc hesector for the last three months without relief. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE FRENCH FRONT, Tuesday, July 9. Since arriving in France a regiment of Negro troops from Chicago has been highly commended for its conduct under fire, and also for its appearance at a formal review before a high French commander. Considerably to the men's disappointment their experience in the trenches has thus far been less exciting than they desired. All were keen for a hair-raising fight. They have been under fire and also been attacked by airplains. Close contact with the enemy has been limited to patrol brushes at night and sniping by day. In this they have excelled, greatly to Fritz's discomfort. Considerable time was used in mastering the French equipment which replaced the American equipment given the outfit at the start. The men have adopted this, though they prefer the weapons to which the yare accustomed. "How the men have become stern and stoical in facing dangers is a revelation," said one of their officers. "The noisest and most careless became quiet and alert the moment he reached the trenches. No one showed a trace of nervousness or fear. I am confident they will make a record." THE COLORED DRAFTEE Weep not for him, mother, father, sister, brother, wife or sweetheart. He has gone to do and dare; to bring honor to himself and race. He is fully conscious of the duties that are upon him. He also knows of the odds that are against him on account of his color. Nevertheless, let us who are left behind lend him every encouragement; hoping that Uncle Sam will give him a square deal and have him feel that he is worthy of wearing the uniform of this country.

Colored Nurses to be Used in Army Camps Orders Issued by War Department Makes Opening for Hundreds at Six Base Hospitals in This Country—Many May Go Overseas WASHINGTON, D. C.—The War department authorizes the following statement from Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War.: Orders were issued today by the War Department to the office of the Surgeon General, which will enable colored nurses who have been registered by the American Red Cross society, to render service to rtheir own race in the army. Colored nurses will be assigned to the base hospitals now established at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kansas; Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois; Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa; Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky.; Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio and Camp Dix, Wrighttown, N. J. At these camps a total of about 38,000 colored troops are stationed. General Pershing has been asked by cable whether the services of colored nurses can be ultized to advantage among the Aemrican Expeditionary forces. German Soldier Diary Tells of an Ugly Task The diary of a German soldier of the Five hundred and eighty-eighth Landwehr regiment, made prisoner in November, 1917, contained the following confession: "Since the 10th of this month, 50 women and young girls from Aertryke have been working on the concrete shelters of Leke. As Leke is in the zone of fire and has been bombarded not later than yesterday, I do not understand once more the authorities. If that measure has nt been taken as reprisals it constitutes for Germany a monument of shame so great that it is not possible to conceive a gerater one. Three or four weeks ago they drove out the civil population of Leke, and now they oblige women and children to work on concrete shelters of the village. It is a shame that this measure has been taken, for it is I who every morning, bring the group of 47 women to Leke and conduct them back to Aertryke. Negro Odd Fellows in Atlanta, Ga., have celebrated their seventy-fifth anniversary. DRAFTED BOYS ARE SHOWN EVERY COURTESY; ALL IN HIGH SPIRITS Colored People of Phoenix Turn Out En Masse To Bid Farewell To Our Boys SIX PAGES G SEN DRAFTED BOYS ARE COURTESY; AL Colored People of En Masse To Our YET THE NEGRO IS LOYAL According to reports handed out by the Division of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute thirty-five lynchings have occurred during the first six months of this year. This, the report says, is twenty-one more than were lynched during the first six months of 1917, and ten more than for the same period in 1916. Of the thirty-five lynchings during the first six months of 1918 all but one were Negroes, and eight were charged with the crime of rape. Georgia and Louisiana contend for first place with eight lynchings each to their credit; then follows Tennessee with four, Mississippi 2, and Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina and South Carolina, one each. These figures tell their own story and register testimony that does not add power to this nation's boast of civilization and love for democracy. This kind of treatment of the nation towards its own citizens at home is compelled to embarrass its protested love and interest in the rights and liberties of oppressed peoples across the seas. Centralization of power in the various departments of our National Government has added immeasely to the efficiency with which we are waging war for democracy. That this centralization and peremptory use of power to meet emergencies and to cope with the world situation cannot be used to suppress lawlessness and the brutal taking of human lives right here at home, seems anomalous. And yet the race that furnishes the victims for such barbarous crimes against law and justice is exhibiting a type of loyalty and patriotism that is not equalled by any class of the nation's citizenship, and which shall be the wonder of coming generations. Mob Burns Furniture to Scare Away Tenants PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Mr. and Mrs. T. Lytle arrived in the city last fall. He secured a position at Hog Island Ship-building Plant, where he has a very lucrative job. He wanted a home for himself and wife, and they secured one at 2504 Pine street, a strictly white neighborhood. After taking possession declarations were made by their white neighbors that no Negroes would be tolerated in that vicinity. Notes were shoved under the door and the house has been stoned several times by a mob led by women, but Mrs. Lytle still holds the fort. In the meantime 2524 and 2526 became empty. Two families attempted to move in, but a mob surrounded the furniture, which consisted of three wagon loads, poured oil over it and burned it. It was rumored that legal threats were then made by the neighbors that on the Fourth of July the three houses would be burned down. The houses still remain intact. As Mr. Lytle is a government employee he has appealed to United States District Attorney Kane for protection, as the government now controls the housing problem. Just now a hostile truce prevails, due to police activity. Policemen are staticed night and day at each end of the block. Under the vigilant guard of the officers the tenants are enjoying their first real good sleep. Two hundred and fifty colored soldiers at Camp Taylor, Ky., at an evangelistic meeting conducted by the Rev. G. M. Noble, pastor of the M. E. church, colored, were converted and signed the "war roll" as soldiers for Jesus. Property of 30623 STATE LIBRARY of ARIZONA 5 CENTS A COPY; $2 A YEAR ND-OFF ARE SHOWN EVERY ALL IN HIGH SPIRITS of Phoenix Turn Out to Bid Farewell To ur Boys The colored citizens of Phoenix are to be congratulated for the pleasing manner in which they carried out the program for the entertainment of the drafted boys who left here on Thursday evening. This excellent program was rendered from the band stand in the city hall plaza. Many and varied were the numbers which appeared on the program. All were good and they were well received. About one-third of the colored population of Phoenix gathered at the city hall plaza to listen to this well arranged program. Musical numbers, solos and songs by the Famous Quartette were among some of the entertaining features. Judge Joseph H. Kibbey and Col. Jas. H. McClintock (white) were the speakers on this solemn occasion. They spoke inspiring words to the drafted boys and gave them the assurance that should they return, crowned with victory, a fuller realization of liberty would be theirs. Not wishing to detract from the speeches made by these gentlemen on this momentous occasion, because they were timely and to the point; but it is regrettable that there was not some intelligent member of the African race to deliver a word of hope to these, our boys. While these distinguished gentlemen did all in their power to make those boys feel that they were with them, heart and soul, yet there is something in the heart and soul of the colored man that can not be thoroughly aroused by the words of an American white man, be he ever so friendly to the race. That something is: Enthusiastic patriotism. It takes a capable, intelligent Negro orator to thoroughly arouse that latent patriotism which lies in the heart of all black Americans. Had it been possible to have a man of our race like Kelly Miller, Emmett J. Scott, Roscoe Simmons or W. T. Vernon address those colored boys on last Thursday afternoon he could have fired their patriotism to the point where they would have been ready and willing to engage in battle with the Germans without waiting to be trained. News came to us today, that the war department is breaking all records of any country in rushing troops to France and has set to that country, among more than SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AMERICANS "over there", ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND Colored men. This information will be surprising to colored people who had little idea that so many of our men are now "over there." The knowledge of this number of "our own" being in the fighting zone will also arouse to a greater degree the patriotic spirit in the race and make them feel, those who are safe here at home from German bullets, that they owe a supreme duty to these men of the race—these more than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND—who are fighting for world Democracy. We were unable to get a complete list of the names of the drafted boys and for that reason will not publish any names. The most pathetic sights ever witnessed in Phoenix were the parting scenes at the depot. Mother bidding son farewell; wife and baby kissing husband and father goodbye; sister bidding farewell to brother. These scenes were heart-rending. One case we believe, deserves special mention. It was that of Mr. James W. White who is the fourth son to go from his home. His mother says that she has no regrets and only wished that she had four more boys to give to the country. Several of the boys in this contingent leave wives with real young babes. Their cases seem pathetic, yet the care and protection of (Continued on Page 6) PAGE TWO THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE Arizona's Greatest Weekly Phoenix, Arizona Published Every Saturday by the Tribune Publishing Company Address all Communications to the PHOENIX TRIBUNE P.

The President's statement, which was addressed to "My Fellow Countrymen", is thought to have been inspired by the numerous lynchings of which suspected pro-Germans were the victims. In this message, the President points out that every lynching is a blow at the heart of law and justice, and directly opposed to the principles for which America, as a Democracy, stands. "How shall we," he asks, "commend Democracy to the acceptance of other people if we disgrace our own by proving that it is, after all, no protection to the weak?" In this stirring denunciation of mob rule and this plea to all Americans "to make an end of this disgraceful evil," the President placed the lynchers squarely on the side of Germany by declaring that any man who even so much as countenanced mob action, is a betrayer of American Democracy and adopts the 'standards of the enemy of his country, whom he affects to despise." Of the southern States, Texas proudly claims the distinction of being the first to reply to this notable message of the President. Her reply was sent broadcast over the country the next day and read something like this: "Texas Mob Hangs Negro." Any American white man in Texas will tell you that he and his people stand squarely behind President Wilson in waging this war for Democracy, and yet they cannot refrain from lynching even at the request of the President. Lynching has evidently become a chronic disease in this country and will therefore require something a trifle stronger than a "message on mob law" to stop it. HOW COLORED PEOPLE MAY HELP IN WAR WORK When Mr. Emmett J. Scott was appointed to be a special assistant to the Secretary of War in matters relating to our colored people as a factor in the present war, we commended the appointment and warmly approved the selection. Secretary Baker's wisdom in making the appointment is already more than demonstrated. That Mr. Scott was the ideal man for the job is already more than proven. There are two thoughts that stand out prominently in this connection. One is the gratitude of a large portion of our population to Mr. Baker for the liberality and courage in him that made the appointment possible; the other is the satisfaction of the colored race in possessing a man of Mr. Scott's character, tact, adaptability and capacity. Another thought is: What can the colored people do to help Mr. Baker and Mr. Scott to make the work a success? Our answer is: Do not ask a multiplicity of embarrassing questions. Refrain from all adverse criticisms. Offer constructive suggestions, calculated to be useful to the country. Cooperate in every reasonable way that Mr. Scott may indicate. It is not necessary that all of us at such a time should know all the reasons for all proposed measures and steps. At such a time we must all be, if not actual soldiers, soldiers at heart. The spirit of true soldiers is the spirit of the daring Six Hundred who rode into the jaws of death at Balakla: ADVICE TO COLORED WOMEN WHOSE HUSBANDS ARE AT WAR The following article, clipped from one of our leading periodicals, shows the folly of idleness among our women and we believe this a good time to publish same. Following is the article: "To the Editor of The Times:—Please let me say just a few words of warning to the members of my race. There seems to be a disposition on the part of some few of them who have relatives who have gone to the army, to carouse, have a good time, live in idleness, boast about not having to work, and flaunting on the streets because they are receiving or expecting to receive money from the government. Some have made their brags, that when they get their money, they will not work for anyone. Some say that they are going north. My friend, this is a sad mistake on your part, indeed, a very sad one. A greater mistake you could not make in a life-time. Did you know that when the government supports or helps to support individuals it must know how the money is spent, something of the lives of said characters, their habits and the kind of house kept by said characters? To get this information they keep a faithful watch over all persons it pays money to. At this time every city, town, and county is full of secret service men and women. Let me say they are not all white. They report those who fail to come up to what the government requires of them. You never know who reports you, when you were reported, what you are reported for. One thing you will know, that your money is stopped. My advice is, work just as you did before you had relatives in the army, live just as well, be just as civil and loyal. Don't boast; save your money, pay your debts, work every day you have a chance. Do not have a "good time" hanging around your home; stay off the street unless on business, and you will not be interfered with. Those who refuse to work because they are receiving a little money from the government is an evidence that they are unworthy of such support. We must remember that all persons refusing to work for a reasonable price without good cause the government can make them work, if it need be, just as it took your husband or son without your consent. I hope you will receive this letter in the spirit in which it has been written.

Jefferson Street Political ements PROFESSOR WILSON IS MAN WITH COURAGE OF HIS CONVICTIONS Commenting on the recent message of President Wilson dealing with mob law, Helen Harper Vance has the following to say: At last we have at the head of our government a man who is not afraid to raise his voice, publicly, against lynching and wonder of wonders that man is a Democrat! While his emphatic denunciation of mob violence did not refer specifically to the lynching of negroes, what else are we to infer when he speaks of "protection to the peoples who have never known the privileges of liberty and self government?" Is it possible that we, the black Americans, are at last to know the true meaning of Democracy? If so, those black boys "over there" have not died in vain, nor are those heroes whose blood is being shed for Democracy across the sea to be denied that "Democracy in this land of the brave and the free" on their return. If so the Stars and Stripes will become a more vital part of the black American and wind itself about our hearts, not only as the American flag, but as OUR flag! A BLACK PATRIOT Elizabeth City, N. C., Independent. Edmund Johnson of Elizabeth City is 79 years old. He is black and gray; that is to say, his skin is black and his hair is gray. He was a chattel slave in his youth and did a man's work when he was ten years old. He has been working ever since. Of late years he has been feeble and not equal to steady employment, so he ekes out a living by gardening. He has a little garden of his own and he works white folks' gardens. Having worked for 69 years and having put something into life every one of those years, this poor old man should have a little rest in his declining years. There are so many folks in the world who never have done a day's work in their lives, who not only have rest, but luxury. And they have rest and luxury simply because folks like old Uncle Edmund have done the world's work. If no one worked all would starve; part of the people doing all the world's work and housed. Too often the person who produces most of the comforts of life has no time in which to enjoy them. But this is not a sermon. I just started out to say that old Uncle Edmund is buying War Savings Stamps. He now has two of the five dollar ones, representing pretty much all of his savings. "I want to see my side win," he told me in his simple fashion, "And I don't mind letting 'em have what little money I can spare." Has any white man done more for his country than this black man? For service with the American Red Cross commission to Italy, a small number of women is being supplied as stenographers and warehouse clerks. Passport regulations' which affect women sent to France apply also to workers going to Italy. A knowledge of Italian is desirable for all candidates, and in the social service work it is indispensable. A budget increase of more than $12,000,000 over last year to be used for rwar work was passed at the annual meeting of the national war work council of the Young Women's Christian Association in New York. Of the $15,000,000 raised a large appropriation will go for work among the girls employed in the National Capital. The need for hostes shouses, which are erected only at the request of the commanding officer of the camp concerned, has become so great that an appropriation more than doubling the amount spent last year has been made for the construction and upkeep of new houses. Women stenographers and typists are being called for enrollment in the Naval Reserve as yoemen, the recruiting office of the Bureau of Navigation announces. Calls for women for service in Washington have already been issued by the recruiting offices in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. American women woh speak Italian fluently and who are trained in social service work are being sent to Italy by the American Red Cross to help with the refugees and children, to conduct soup kitchens and nurseries, and to organize and carry on other forms of relief work, according to the statement of the American Red Cross.

A wash boiler or any other large vessel (with tight, fitting cover) fitted with false bottom of slats or wire mesh may be used for the processing vessel. While jars are still hot pack with prepared product. Without delay place rings on jars and put on the hot tops, but do not screw or clamp air-tight at this stage. Place partially sealed jars while still hot into warm water up over the tops. Put cover on boiler.

Sturdy and staunch their martial tread, Earnessness, their spirits tell, Not of a shirking dread; They tell of hope beyond the waters blue; They tell of men so strong and bold, Of the sacrifice of many pleasures, too, And that patriotism of old. Not as scourged slaves do they go, As if they saw their end. They go in triumph to meet the foe, And to prove themselves worthy men. They go with light hearts and lighter still They laugh to scorn the thought of fear, They know it is our Savior's will— And He will protect them there. Go on, brave boys, enlist to the call of the U. S. A. of the U. S. A. Fight bravely and you'll win; For we are praying by night and day, To God to preserve our men. Have courage when sorrows await you, Let the kalser fight as he may; But remains your courage, too. And remember, boys, 'tis the call of the U. S. A. (Advertisement) MY POLITICAL VIEWS Bisbee, Arizona. July 31, 1918. Editor, Phoenix Tribune Editor, Phoebe Troune: Shr: The colored population of Arizona is now estimated to be 4,000 souls. Being a colored man and a working man here at Bisbee I am interested in the progress and welfare of my people. I know it is an unbending rule of your most excellent paper to take no part in partisan politics and therefore. I am writing you this letter for publication and enclosing herewith the proper pay for the space it will occupy in your paper so that you may insert it therein as an advertisement. The thing that I am most desirous of saying to our people is this: That in Arizona the Democratic party is so overwhelmingly in the majority that those of us who might be Republicans are under the primary law practically debarred from having any voice in the election of our various officials of State. Now I desire to urge upon our people everywhere in Arizona to register. Register soon. The time for registering will be up with the ending of August. Not only must we register, but we Democrats must register so that we may vote in the Democratic primaries. It is certain that whoever is nominated by that party will be elected. There are now five candidates before the Democratic primaries for Governor. In Cochise county our people are all for Fred T. Colter, because we know where he stands and where he has always stood. We know that he stands for a square deal for everybody alike without regard for money, position or gain of any kind. Further, we know that he will not discriminate against our race, and that he will as Governor, treat all persons fairly and impartially. Mr. Fred T. Colter was born and has always lived in Arizona, which means that he has none of the prejudices that exist against us elsewhere. We should all be for him, but whoever we may be for I hope you will urge all of our people to register in time for the primaries. opened at Christiansburg Industrial Institute, Cambria, Va. Officers chosen at the Arkansas Baptist Sunday School Convention, held at Dermott, Ark., were: Dr. T. S. Sandefur, president; the Rev. J. W. Stout, first vice-president; the Rev. J. E. Tidwell, second vice-president; H. W. Holloway, recording secretary; Mrs. Katie Kaffrey, treasurer; Mrs. L. C. Deloney, corresponding secretary. At the new Jersey Rally Day of the National Association of Organists, Mr. Harry T. Burleigh appeared as soloist with his own compositions. AMONG THE APPLICANTS FOR CLERICAL JOBS Hundreds of applications are filed daily at various departments in Washing, D. C., by girls and women who are neither qualified under civil service rules nor specially trained. The Food Administration authorizes Food Administration. At one time the following: "There is no need of clerical assistance at present in the United States there was a demand for punch card operators and statistical clerks, but this force is now being reduced. Absolutely the only positions to be filled are open to expert stenographers. The salary for this position is $1,200 per year; the hours from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. with an hour for lunch. "There are on average 100 applications for clerical positons a day. About 5,000 such applications are now on file." TEACHING PATRIOTISM If there was ever a time in any nation when it should be easy to lead the young to have a cordial and loyal feeling for their native land such a time has been reached in this country at the present moment. Even young children can now be made to realize what "My Country" means. They can be readily led to see evidences of their country in action all about them. Every day events occur which impress the fact that one's country is a very real entity, that every citizen is profiled by association with others, that without a country which thinks for the individual and helps protect him he would be at the mercy of those stronger than he. This war is being fought, more for the safety and well-being of the children who are now growing up than for the adults who are bearing the burdens; and young people should be made to realize this fact up to the limit of their understanding. They may not grasp the full import of this war at the outset. At first glance it may seem that we could have avoided their troubles by staying at home. Persons of very limited vision are apt to think that there is no danger until the enemy is at the gate. If they cannot see a foe, they conclude that he does not exist. Their impulses lead them to defend themselves only when they are directly attacked. They cannot interpret the actions of the enemy who is making preparation for the assault to come, so they say, "Let us stay at home and mind our own business." There are a few shallow-minded persons who are still saying this in our country. But fortunately children are plastic, and under skillful teaching they can be made to comprehend why the present is the time to settle the question as to whether or not men shall be free. And the essential lesson for the child to learn is that this is a contest between individual freedom of thought and action on the one side and of subjection to arbitrary authority in mind and body on the other side. The teacher and parent can lead children to grasp the idea of individual liberty and how immeasurably better it is for one to live in a land of freedom than in a land of serfdom. These are the times to make the rising generation in America feel the full force of the ideals of liberty as contrasted with bondage so that they will be loyal defenders of freedom when their turn comes to support the principles of democracy against those of autocracy.

Kresige and Co. of Detroit has given orders to its employees to discriminate against southern negroes and foreigners, according to the Northwestern Political league. Several negroes from the south were recently refused soft drinks at the Kresige store. THE NEGRO IN BATTLE The Negro boys who've left the South We wish them much success; When their march out to the battle And try to do their best. They will try to defeat the Kaiser, Stand up to all his vims, There's not an American dreads him With his host of friends thrown in. Old Kaiser said a lot of things He thinks he is very wise; But then we all know how it is, They were mostly lies. He said he will eat in Washington, And get a meal in France; But I don't think he'll dare do that, Our boys won't give him chance. They'll stand up for our country And answer to her call; And when they strive for liberty Our flag will never fall. We must be patriotic Must come across to fill, For if we do not come across The cruel Kaiser will. The Negroes are very handy, They win wherever they go; Now, if you don't believe they do, The Spaniards will tell you so. And another thing about these boys, They are all just like wasps; And when they get on German's soil, They'll destroy everything they cross When they get over in Germany They will look mighty dreadful, The Kaiser will peep out, tremble and say, "Here comes those black devils." They'll rip and rear and break and tear And destroy the German's courage; But let 'em, as it is the Kaiser's loss, We say, "Why should we worry." COME UNTO ME (Composed by Archie Lewis.) (May be sung to the tune of "Amazing Grace.) The Master died that we might live What more could he have done? But still He says: "Come unto me, And rest ye weary one." "I am the truth, the way, the light, "Be faithful, believe on me, "Be truthful and obedient, "The truth shall make you free." Our own salvation we must work out. So let's begin today; Let's quit the world, take up the cross, And bear it until Judgment Day. Robert Harris, a colored boy, was awarded one of the prizes in the Thrift Essay Contest conducted by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. MISCELLANEOUS The latest figures for church membership have been given out by the census bureau for the ten-year period ending December 31, 1916: The colored Baptists report 3,018,314 members, with 19,423 ministers; the African Methodists have 552,265 members, with 8,175 ministers; the Zion Methodists have 258,433 members with 3,962 ministers; the colored Methodists have 245,749 members, with 3,402 ministers. Other colored Methodist bodies have 16,875 members with 598 ministers. As compared with the last report of 1906 this shows an increase of 750,000 members for the colored Baptists and 75,000 members each for the African Methodists, the Zion Methodists and the C. M. E. Church. At the general conference of the C. M. E. Church the proposal to unite the three Negro Methodist church bodies was approved by a vote of 304 to 48. Bishop Greer confirmed 165 colored people at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The candidates came from nine colored Episcopal churches in Greater New York. The Church Extension Department of the A. M. E. Church under Dr. B. F. Watson reports total assets of $418, 686 and a cash balance of $27,178. The Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City raised $24,213 last year. The Rev. A. C. Powell is pastor. The colored people of Wetipquin, Md., have established a public com- munity library with 150 volumes. At Richmond, Va., the United States Government has bought 79 acres of land owned by colored people to build an ammunition plant. Raymond Jenkins, a Baltimore col- ored boy, saved an eighteen months' old white child from drowning in the sewer. Big Bethe, A. M. E. Church in Atlanta, Ga., in a spring rally raised $5,200. THE COLORED RED CROSS News comes to us that the doors of the military hospitals, at home and abroad, are about to be opened to the competent and prepared colored Red Cross nurse, who stands willing and ready to serve her country in that capacity. While we commend the steps taken by those in authority in this branch of government service, the decision is no more than we have expected to come with the continuation of the war. We venture to say that long before the battle is over hurry calls will come for nurses—color not considered. "Tis strange why we persist in dealing out the little things when we can play a larger hand, a hand that spells world freedom. Why let pressure force the issue? Why let pressure continue to work, however, all will be right ere the war closes. Though the blind forces continue to work we cannot sit stupidly by and not call attention to grave errors. Ours is a great cause, and great ideas must work in the solution of our problems. The thousands of black men will welcome, when wounded, the ministering hand of a race woman, and the race woman is large enough to take her place joyfully over there that she might dispense cheer and unselfish service to all of our boys, and especially the boys of color.—Louisville Leader. A FEW FACTS THAT ALL SHOULD KNOW America raises more food, eats more food, wastes more food and Americans pay higher prices for their food than any other people on earth. In Germany today no food is permitted to be fried. This is to conserve fats. Grease from any source is carefully gathered up by the government and soap has become a luxury for millionaires. Recent experiments on cans of tomatoes, corn, string beans, apples, pumpkin and even sauerkraut, have proved that canned foods are not harmed in the least by remaining in the original tin as long as sixty hours after being opened. Good doctors and many public health authorities agree, that Americans would be healthier, happier and better off every way by eating one-quarter to one-third less food. Canned tomatoes fill such an important place in feeding our army that the government asks for an increase of 50 per cent from tomato canning states. In addition to furnishing food value for energy, tomato quenches the thirst of men and calls for less water consumption in the camp or on the march. Rice flour is coming into more general use. In the proportion of one part rice flour to three parts wheat, it makes delicious and nourishing bread. University, Macon, Ga., her two-year-old baby and two other persons were saved by the heroism of the negro fireman, James Wallace, of Savannah. The Virginia Branch of the National Board for Historic Service in charge of the white University of Virginia has been judging sixty-four essays in a state contest by public school teachers on the subject "Why the United States is at War." The first prize of seventy-five dollars for teachers in public elementary schools was awarded to Edward G. Wood, a colored freshman at Virginia Union University. Colored Americans took an active part in the largest parade ever held in Richmond, Ind., and were warmly applauded. The second annual convention of the Mme. C. J. Walker agents will be held in Chicago August 1, 2 and 3 at Mt. Olivet Baptist church. The white women of South Africa have responded to an appeal of the colored women and opened the Y. W. C. A. centers for them in Cape Town. Similar branches are contemplated in four other cities. The property of the Philadelphia Dicity occupied boxes. Thirty-eight white and five colored teachers have passed their rating tests in general efficiency and their salaries advanced in Savannah, Ga.

Herring, pastor of Tanner Chapel, A. M. E. church, in Phoenix, spent last Friday and half of Saturday in Ray. He left here Saturday at 1 o'clock on the Kelvin stage for Ray Junction. While two miles out of Ray, the automobile in which he was riding fell over an embankment and turned over three times before it reached the bottom of the canyon. All the occupants of the car were thrown out and all were injured, some very seriously. Rev. Herring suffered many severe cuts about the face and head and his left leg was broken above the knee. When news of the accident reached Ray, we were shocked beyond words. Rev. Herring was rushed to the company hospital here and everything possible was done to alleviate his suffering. Mr. C. S. V. Jones of Phoenix arrived in Ray on Sunday and remained over until Monday to accompany Rev. Herring back to his home in Phoeinx. He was taken on a stretcher Monday morning and the return to Phoenix was begun. We learn that the trip was without further accident and he arrived home safely. The entire colored population of Ray wish Rev. Herring a speedy recovery. Miss Inez Stewart was hostess at a delightful birthday party given in her honor on last Monday evening. Miss Stewart established a precedent by stating her exact age. She gave as her age twenty-six years, which figure is in itself a record-breaker, as no unmarried woman ever has any birthdays after she reaches the age of twenty-five. The evening was spent at whist. Excellent music was furnished. Ice cream, cake and punch were served and a very pleasant evening was spent by all present. Miss Stewart's mother, Mrs. A. Stewart of Phoenix, came over Monday and brought a monster birthday cake for her daughter. She returned Tuesday morning. Miss Stewart was the recipient of many costly and beautiful presents, among them were a complete toilet set of solid ivory and a beautiful Victoria with a number of records. BISBEE, ARIZONA Sunday, July 28, being change day in the mines of Bisbee, the boys of Machine Gun Troop Tenth Cavalry played an interesting game in Warrex Baseball park. Although they lost the game, we feel proud of their past record. The band came with them and gave to the people of Bisbee the best music of the season. Hundreds of people came from the surrounding cities. Warren Park had one of the largest crowds it has had this season, due to the record of the boys in khaki. Miss Johnnie B. Davis of Plano, Tex., and a teacher in the public schools of Dallas, is spending a few weeks with her aunt, Mrs. Robert J. Walker, of this city. Mrs. Williams of Douglas, owner of the Cozy Corner Hotel, is in the Copper Queen hospital, where she has just undergone a serious operation. Her husband spent several days with her during the first week after the operation. Quite a number of the soldiers of the Tenth Cavalry remained in Bisbee a day or so after the ball game Sunday. Mr. Walter J. Stewart of the U. S. Tenth Cavalry spent a few days in Bisbee after playing in the band Sunday. He walked into a confectionery store on Brewery Gulch and asked to be served. The proprietor became very much distressed and finally said; "I am sorry, but we can't serve colored people." Mr. Stewart asked him several questions; what his name was, etc., and before Mr. Stewart and his young lady companion left, they had been served free of charge. We do not know whether the proprietor was frightened or whether he just changed his mind. The last thing Mr. Stewart was heard to say as he came out of the door was: "No colored man ever shot a president. This uniform means the same thing a white man's does." Our only wish is that his audience had been a little larger. The drafted boys of Bisbee will leave in a few days for a camp in Washington. FOOD ADMINISTRATION LIMITS USE OF BEEF According to the United States Food Administration, the demand for beef for our Army, the armies of the allies, and their civil populations for this summer are beyond our present surplus. On the other hand, we have an increased supply of pork this summer, large enough to permit economical expansion in its use. It will therefore be a direct service to our armies and to the allies if our people will in some degree substitute fresh pork, bacon, ham and sausage for beef products. Householders are asked under no circumstances to buy more than 1-4 pounds if clear beef weezy, or Free, Frank and Full Discussion of Many Vital Issues Affecting Colored Americans Characterize Representative Gathering—Personnel of the Participants. WASHINGTON, District of Columbia.—By the authority and direction of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, called to Washington this week for a conference, thirty or forty representatives of important colored newspapers of the country, together with his number of the leaders of thought and opinion among the Negro people, to consider methods by which the millions of colored people of the nation may best assist in the winning of the war. Proceedings aMrked by Dignity and Unity The conference formally opened Wednesday morning, June 19, in the main auditorium of the new building of the Department of the Interior, 18th and F streets northwest, at 10:30 o'clock, and continued throughout Thursday and Friday, June 20 and 21. Mr. Scott presided at all of the sessions which were marked by an earnestness of purpose, a broad grasp of the questions at issue, and an unwavering loyalty to the flag of the nation, as well as by an intense devotion to the highest interests of the colored Americans for whom they came primarily to speak. The discussion covered a wide range and the confeerees were given an opportunity to present their views, reflecting the state of mind of the colored people of the country, with the utmost freedom and frankness, unhampered by parliamentary restrictions or any effort to direct opinion in any particular channel—save that of utilizing in the most effective manner every resource at the command of the race to bring victory to the American army in its present struggle for liberty and world-wide democracy. Mr. Scott's admirably-tempered address at various stages of the deliberations repeatedly admonished the confeerees to voice their sentiments fully and fearlessly, laying all grievances and suggestions to rtheir redress upon the common altar, with the view of strengthening where needed the patriotism and morale of the Negro people. So fair an dimipartial were the rulings of the chair upon every point raised or principle enunciated, that at no time was a single exception taken to them. Every conceivable shade of individual opinion was represented in the 'body, but there was fro mthe outset a firm disposition to subordinate private and personal considerations to the general good, without regard to politics, creed, faction or section. This lofty aim was adhered to most religiously. Dignity of statement, harmony of thought and unity of action were the predominating features of the three day's session. The document, reported by the special committee appointed to summarize the expression of the conference as to the best plans for the mobilization of the resources of the 12,000,000 Negroes of the Republic, in support of the war aims of the government, was adopted by a unanimous vote, given heartily and enthusiastically. "America" was sung with fervor and unction as final adjournment was staken. Notable Addresses by Officials of High Station The conference wa saddressed in sympathetic vein during the sessions by the following notable officials of high station: Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War. Mr. George Creel, chairman of the Committee on Public Information. Hon. Franklin D. Rosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States Shipping Board. Major Joel E. Spingarn, attached to the General Staff, United States Army. Capt. Arthur S. Spingarn, of the Medical Reserve Corps, National Army. General Paul Vignal, military attache of the French embassy. Major Edouard Requin and Major L P. DeMontal, of the French High Commission. GOIN' A CLEANING (By Berton Bellis.) Hear that bugle!

The following results will show that Americans did their duty. The Negro who has a large part in the handling of food can feel a pride in what was done in the matter of saving wheat, meats, rats and sugar. WHEAT—The amount of wheat above our normal needs for 1917-1918 was 20,000,000 bushels; in other words, that is all we could have shipped unless our home consumption could have been reduced. If we continue to save at the present rate we shall be able to send to our soldiers and our associates in the war before the harvest of 1918 is entirely in, almost 170,000,000 bushels—or, in terms of our savings, we have done without 130,000,000 bushels of wheat to help the war. The wholesale price of flour at Minneapolis, Minn., May 18, 1917, was $16.75 per barrel. The wholesale price is onw $10.18. PORK—Meat—The number of hogs in the United States before the war was about 6,000,000 below what it ought to be. The United States then sold to foreign countries about 55,000,000 pounds of pork per month. In March, 1918, we were able to ship to our soldiers and our associates in the war over 300,000,000 pounds of pork in addition because our people answered the Government's call to grow more pork and eat less of it, and we have saved and placed in storage 1,000,000,000 pounds of pork, lard, etc. BEEF—Before the war this country was shipping less than 2,000,000 pounds of beef each month. We sent 96,982,000 pounds of beef in May, and with the people saving in the future as they are now our boys will have plenty o f beef. SUGAR—The United States Food Administration is now asking that the people of the United States reduce their consumption of sugar to three pounds per month per person for the balance of the year. This is asked in order that the people of England may have two pounds per month per person, and the people of Italy one pound per month per person. If the people of the United States live up to this requirement there is absolutely no danger of a sugar shortage. YAENOEhaGereprpETAOI SHRDLDE The average price throughout the world in the past year has been about twenty cents per pound, while in the United states, because of regulation, it has been ten cents a pound or less. Every one cent advance in the price of sugar means about $84,000,000 to the people of this country. RESERVES—The present crops are above normal and as the war continues with the withdrawal of men from the farms to war work de do not expect to have such large crops again. Following the lesson of Joseph in Egypt, the United States Food Administration is collecting large stores of food at home and in Europe; thus we shall have reserves of food to overcome any future crop shortage here an denough food in Europe to tide over our soldiers and associates in the war for a time, in case the steady stream of food shipped to them is at any time interrupted.

A. F MORE MEAT? Why Not Poultry and Rabbits? J. L. Harris, poultry extension specialist of the University of Arizona in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, believes there could be much more done in this state in meat production through polly and rabbits, a recent interview he has the follo- to say: There are now over two million cans under arms, which means two million men are taken from daily pursuits. Many of these were producers of food. Not only they now taken from the forces producers, but they have become avy consumers. The fact that millions of men of the world are now exclusively in the coming list is responsible for our pres- four and sugar cards. The men at the front and in all the armies must be fed even though requires sacrifice and hardship on use remaining at home. All food bids and regulations certainly entail great deal of inconvenience, no mat- hew cheerfully we comply. Should this war continue, as it now is fair to do, other food shortages sure to follow. It is among the exigibilities that meat cards will be into force, as meat is one of the essentials of an efficient fighting cree. It is possible by a little fore-thought, guard off the probability of a meat shortage. If every person who has a back yard would keep a few hens, it would materially increase the meat supply. It is not expected that the back-yard flock will be the source of such profit. A constant and ready supply of fresh eggs and some meat, however, be produced for slightly less than the market price of such eds; that is, provided it is not over-ene. Because six hens yield a good corn for the time expended and feed too, does not mean that twenty of the same. Two hens, or pos-free, for each person in the corn usually all that can be kept really. e men for the war and to od crop is the object of a the Woman's Land Army which was established at Rock- land according to Mrs. the chairman of the Dis- at the land army.

Wheat conditions improved during June in the higher altitudes and average yields in some of the central counties were better than expected. Other crops are generally in very good condition, the recent rains having greatly improved the outlook for summer food crops. Cotton, with a condition of 96, indicates a record crop. With favorable weather conditions a crop of 35,000 bales of the Egyptian variety of cotton is indicated. Except in a few districts that were short of water for irrigation, a fine crop of alfalfa hay has been secured. Barley yields were excellent in some counties, but shortage of water and damage from aphis in a few districts slightly reduced the State average. Oats are in excellent condition in the northern counties, and with favorable conditions, should produce about 65,000 bushels more than last year. The planting of corn, grain sorghums, and beans continues in the southern counties under favorable conditions, but the acreage of these crops will not greatly exceed that of last year. With the exception of peaches and apricots, fruit crops are generally above their average condition. Cantaloupes and watermelons are now being marketed at good prices, but the recent showers, together with the light set in some fields, has slightly reduced the prospects for those crops. Range pastures have been greatly benefitted by good rains since July 1 and the present outlook for summer range is very satisfactory. The colored elementary grade teachers of Washington, D.

Anything that tends to hinder this end must be regarded with suspicion, particularly when unnecessary expense is involved and neither a saving of energy nor material is attained, as is usually the case in matters relating to pleasure and recreation. So, when we let our eyes turn to the cool seashore or forest regions, and trout streams in the mountains this year, let us remember that while economy and moderation at all times are virtues, at the present time they are duties. The national forests are the free, public playgrounds of the people, and the Forest Service desires to have the people make the fullest use of this privilege. All forest officers have the welfare of their summer visitors at heart, and are at all times glad to furnish freely all possible information about desirable camping and fishing places available and accessible. The few restrictions placed upon the people using the national forests for camping and other recreational use are in reality no restrictions whatever, but vital factors in the principle of making the forests ideal and enduring camping places for everyone. All will agree that the observance of state and federal sanitary laws, health regulations, and restrictions regarding the use of fire and the cutting of green timber are constructive and enhance the camping and recreational values of the national forest camp sites and tend to make this playground use more and more desirable, healthful and practically ideal. In some places the public camping grounds have been provided with fire places, tables and benches for the use of campers by the forest reserve. Forest service trails leading into the more isolated spots open up to the enterprisepristic pedestrian and rider new vistas of grandeur and beauty spots never dreamed of. furnish exhilarating exercise and give the visitor fuller ideas of forest service work and responsibilities as caretakers of the nation's resources. The Forest Service contributes a Error in wire transmission caused Cornelia's production to be given as 3,900,000 pounds in the May column as originally printed.

Mail Orders Given Special Attention considerable sum of money and labor for the construction and maintenance of roads and trails upon the national forests each year. It is not at all difficult to get away from the dust, noise and heat of the town and city, and within a short time be able to enjoy the cool and quiet cleanliness of a camp in a national forest. It is the earnest desire of the Forest Service to have the people make use of the forests to the fullest extent possible consistent with the proper management of these forests. They offer you recreation, health and real enjoyment, and this privilege is as free as the air you breathe. Without doubt, the national forest will be JUNE OUTPUT OF ARIZONA COPPER PRODUCING MINES BISBEE, Ariz., July 5, —Arizona copper miners scored another great record in their June output of the red metal. Approximately figures gathered from the various producers show the month's total to have reached 74,085,023 pounds, as compared with approximate production of 77,073,507 pounds in May. Some decrease in the output of small mines of custom ore to the smelters, due to the advance in freight visited this year by a greater number of campers than ever before. However, if you are one of those who intend to visit one of our national forests for camping purposes, please keep in mind that the Forest Service has furnished its quota of men for military service. All who can be spared have gone. Fires caused by the carelessness of some camper may call for their suppression men vitally needed for useful productive occupations elsewhere. It is plainly up to you to use every precaution to prevent any fires being started through your carelessness, and to see to it that every one about you is equally careful. rates and the discouragement which attended failure of the Industries Board to recommend a higher metal price in June, lowered the output of practically all of the smelters to some extent. The big mines held to their swing of the previous month and under the pressure of the need of the government for every pound of copper that can be made they and their men made up for a considerable part of the loss from the small shippers, despite the exceptional heat wave prevalent unbrokenly during three weeks of the month and which had attendance of a rising percentage of temporary layoffs until the men became accustomed to the change to summer weather. The approximate June output of copper made by the various producing companies in the state, follows: WATCHES 17 jewel Elgin or Waltham gold filled case—Our price $14.50 High grade line of wrist watches, guaranteed and a splendid variety—prices $12.50 up to $35.00 Special Military Wrist Watch $12.50 LAVALIERES A beautiful showing of cameo brooches and lavalieres at the prices you want to pay.

EST WASHINGT member Our Unredeemed Diamonds, Make O The President's Wheat Veto Congress believed a slight increase in the price of wheat for 1919, in order to increase production and to compensate growers for the greatly increased expense of growing the crop, was advisable and justifiable. It is disappointing that the President did not, and that he put his veto on the bill which would have allowed the farmers of Kansas $240 a bushel for their wheat in 1919, 20 cents more on the bushel than they are now getting. The President held if this increase ures? It takes 4 4-10 bushels of wheat to make a barrel of flour. To allow the 20 cents increase to the wheat raiser would make the wheat cost the miller 88 cents more on the barrel of flour, and cost the baker less than 1-3 of a cent a loaf. However, no one wishes to find fault with the President, his figures or his reasoning, but the reasons given for his veto prompt the question that if the consumer cannot stand any advance in the price of wheat, even to increase the supply, how much longer can he stand the pressure of unrestricted prices for cotton and cotton fabrics which still are soaring upward, and have been, ever since our war with Germany began. Wheat is the staff of life, it is true, but cotton clothes its nakedness and keeps it warm, and it is now costing wheat-raisers and all others, about six times its normal value. Nor does the President think crop failures should be taken into account in fixing a price for wheat. It may be pointed out that this has not been the policy of his administration with regard to other essential industries. The railroads not only were guaranteed against losses but were given more than peace profits. In business, losses are always reckoned a legitimate addition to the price of the product. But it can be overdone. For instance, last year in the steel industry prices were based on costs at the little mills where costs are highest. The result is that the big steel producers have made and are making enormous profits. The big flouring mills last year were allowed a certain profit above all expenses. They padded their expenses and made more money than they ever made before. Wheat prices are not based on what would be a living profit these times to nonds TON STREET our Prices Money Savers the farmer, with the smallest yield, or even with a small yield, in this, the world's greatest wheat-producing center, but are based on the usual good-season return. They take no account of the enormous loss pocketed by Kansas wheat raisers who got no crop last year from 6 million acres, nor again this year from nearly 2 million acres. And these men have paid unrestricted toll for everything the farmer of the wheat belt must buy; including unrestricted prices on the Solid South's cotton and rice, while their $4 or $5 wheat, which it would be if unrestricted, continues to sell for about $2 at the shipping point. A letter received this week from a Norton county wheat-grower says: "We have had two complete failures in wheat here. In this part of the county farmers won't even get their seed back, and corn in most cases will not make fodder. We have been buying all our feed and forage, so you can see what we are up against." Had this situation arisen, in one of the big industries working under a maximum, there would be price adjustments and a very liberal higher rate established. The fact somehow has not yet been comprehended that wheat growers cannot continue to produce big crops if the price of their product is regulated close to or below the hazard point and they are compelled to buy every necessity of their living at unrestricted prices which continue to soar higher and higher. Since harvest time a year ago, farm wages have risen about 33 1-3 per cent and larger costs of farm machinery, teams, tractors, shocking and threshing and higher rents, have added greatly to the cost of production, while the fixed price of wheat is virtually the same as last year, with just enough added to the price so that the wheat grower will not have the new freight rates saddled onto him. Unlike big business, the Kansas wheat-raiser has not demanded more money for his product. But he is asking for and demanding a square deal, of which he is richly deserving. He asks that the men who produce the necessities he is compelled to buy shall be regulated as strictly as he is regulated. He is compelled to ask this or to get more money for his wheat. He does not object to being regulated by his government. He has proved his patriotism by his sweat and his dollars and the service flag which hangs in his front window. But he does object to being regulated by the profiteers and something must soon be done to relieve him from it.— PAGE FIVE IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Phoenix Tribune CARL ANDERSON Everything in Insurance and Bonds The largest General Insurance Agency in Arizona—There is a We know our business and satisfy our clients LET US FIGURE YOUR INSURANCE st General Insurance Agency in Arizona—There is a reason— We know our business and satisfy our clients GET US FIGURE YOUR INSURANCE The largest General Insurance Agency in Arizona—There is a reason— We know our business and satisfy our clients 115 North First Avenue We Send You Away COURTESY TO BE We try to carry your needs.

Washington St., Phone 3008 Arizona Independent Market PHOENIX IN THE GO TO THE Phone 1666 THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING BY NEW YORK COURT Isaac Goldgraben keeps in Harlem a restaurant where colored persons are served with meals. Arthur Cohn, who is described in a legal paper hereinafter refried to as "a Hebrew white person," went into Goldgraben's restaurant with a colored man named Williams for the purpose of getting a meal. The head waiter refused to serve Cohn and Williams on the ground that it was "against the rules of the house to serve a mixed party." Cohn brought suit against Goldgraben in the Second District Municipal court, where the complaint was dismissed after a trial before a jury. The plaintiff took the case to the Appellate division of the Supreme Court, and that bench has just upheld the judgment of the lower court. The majority opinion is written by Mr. Justice Whitaker, who says that "there was no refusal to serve because of color or race": "The plaintiff was white and his companion was colored. They were both refused service, so it could not have been on account of color. * * The rule that 'mixed parties' should not be served applied to white as well as colored. There was no discrimination as to one color in favor of another. "The record plainly indicates that both parties would have been served at separate tables and that plaintiff knew this and refused service at a separate table. How can it be said then that he was refused service on account of his color. It appears that the original complaint alleged that the plaintiff "was a descendant of the Jewish or Hebraic race" and that refreshments was refused him because of his race. This latter allegation was abandoned at the trial and the case was decided on the matter of color only. The decision of the appellate court was not unanimous, for Mr. Justice Bijur dissented as follows: "The uncontradicted evidence in this case is to the effect that plaintiff a white man, as the guest of one Williams, a colored man, went to defendant's restaurant to be served. At the time they entered all the guests and waiters in defendant's restaurant were colored. As plaintiff and Williams seated themselves the head waiter said to them: 'Gentlemen, I am sorry I cannot serve you. It is against the rules of the house to serve a mixed party.' Williams testified: "They said: * * * they cannot serve a colored and white person together.' Whereupon plaintiff and Williams, after some discussion, left the premises. "The Civil Rights law, as amended by Chapter 265 of the Laws of 1913, Section 40, provides that no owner of a restaurant 'shall directly or indirectly refuse, withhold from or deny to any person any of the accommodations, advantages or privileges thereof of * * * on account of race, creed or color.' It seems to me to be clear that plaintiff was, on the occasion in question, denied the privileges of defendant's restaurant because he was white. The defendant virtually said to plaintiff 'if you were colored and came here with Williams you would be served, but being white, we will not serve you.' The law naturally does not undertake to define or even to indicate which if any race or color may be regarded as superior. Its sole and manifest purpose is to prevent discrimination on that account." ARIZONA It would seem to the laymen that Mr. Justice Burjur's point is well taken and that Mr. Cohn should not have been denied the accommodation, advantage or privilege of sitting at the same table with Mr. Williams. A committee of women representing organizations of Paterson, N. J., arranged a whirlwind social hygiene campaign in June, under the direction of the Social Hygiene Division of the Commission on Training Camp Activities. Seventy-two lectures on social hygiene were given in six days by four physicians. Factory girls, high-school girls, and groups of citizens were organized for attendance at these lectures, which were preceded by a mass meeting of men and women. Twenty-eight factories permitted lectures to be delivered to women employees during the noon hour. The lectures to women were given by representatives of the Section on Woman's Work of the Social Hygiene Division, Dr. Katherine B. Davis, director, and those to men by lecturers employed by the Section on Men's Work, William H. Zinseer, director. These sections carry on educational work in communities for the Social Hygiene Division under the direction of Maj. William Snow. / _____ 0 _____ It has been decided by the Kentucky Court of Appeals that the corporation taxes of the state must be divided among the colored as well as the white schools. The present law directed that corporation taxes go exclusively to white schools. NEW ZEALAND NOW POPULAR WITH THE AMERICAN TOURISTS NEW ZEALAND NOW POPULAR WITH THE AMERICAN TOURISTS New Zealand is now the goal of many tourists from the United States, more having visited the Dominion in 1917 than in previous years, according to Commerce Reports, which say: "The New Zealand government has a very complete tourist department, with two equally good tourist stations—one at Rotorna in North Island and the other in the vicinity of Mount Cook in South Island. These are not only very popular for New Zealanders, but for Australians and Americans as well. "The rapid development of the rural districts of New Zealand by the farmers, dairymen and stock raisers, together with the genera; use of the motor car, has brought to the fore the necessity of better highways. The campaign of this improvement will open in earnest on the return of the soldiers at the close of the war." EDITORS CONFERENCE GIVES BIG RESULTS (Continued from Page 1) electrified the entire country as it has seldom been thrilled before. It will be remembered by those familiar with the proceedings of the conference at the New Interior Department building that the full force of the leaders who spoke was marshaled in opposition to the lynchings, burning and inhuman mob violence practiced mainly against colored people in various sections of the country, and that this lack of respect for the common rights of citizens was given as the most potent cause for the unrest among Negroes. This was the underlying reason for bringing the conference together from far distant points. The proceedings of the conference reached the President through the Committee on Public Information, of which Mr. George Creel is chairman. The President's message is a wholesome rebuke to ruthless violators of the law, who almost invariably think they will be immune from punishment by the courts or by an outraged public opinion. The colored people are jubilant over the timely and straightforward pronouncement of the President of the United States, and that such an utterance from the highest authority in the land will cause a wave of patriotic enthusiasm among them and inspire a keener impulse to assist in the many constructive war activities throughout the Republic can not be doubted. Colored Women Rejoice in Opportu- The second outstanding achievement growing out of the conference is the opening made for rthe employment of the large number of colored trained nurses who have patriotically registered their names with the American Red Cross Society for work among the colored troops on the field and in the base hospitals. The conference strongly urged that these skilled nurses be used at the earliest possible opportunity. According to an announcement made through the office of the special assistant to the Secretary of War last week, plans have been laid by the Surgeon-General of the Army to have colored nurses assigned to six of the base hospitals in this country where approximately 38,000 colored troops are stationed; namely, Camps Funston, Dodge, Grant, Taylor, Sherman and Dix, and with a practical certainty that these skilled agents of mercy will have a further opportunity for service among the colored soldiers overseas. With the constant increase of colored men in the army the number of women to be utilized must be correspondingly enlarged from time to time, with a constantly expanding area of usefulness and spiritual influence. This signa triumph has heartened beyond measure the women of our land, who are called upon in time of war to make the heaviest sacrifices—and yet are the most willing to sacrifice and to serve when called upon to do so. This is the second big achievement that may be justly credited to the recent conference and it will prove to be a vital factor in alleviating the unrest that has been breaking down the morals of Negro Americans. Col. Young May Soon Be Called to Active Duty The early recall to active duty of Colonel Charles Young, the idol of the young colored men of red blood and sturdy spirit, also urged by the conference, is before the War Department. It has become known that the Secretary of War from the very beginning has sympathetically considered the whole matter of utilizing the valuable military experience and services of Colonel Young, who, until his retirement some months ago, was actively identified with the regular army. The two concrete results here referred to, and the third one now "on the lap of the gods", would seem amply to justify the recent conference of colored leaders an deditors, who sacrificed time and business interests NEW ORLEANS, La.—Shortly' before the biennial session of the Louisiana legislature adjourned the antlynching bill, known to the Jordan-Brown measure, was thrown into the dump heap, as the legislators did not have the temerity to pass the only constructive piece of legislation introduced. The legislators were frightened by the nonsensical talk of Representative Evans of Madison, who cried out: "Who would bring the victim of such an unmentionable crime of a brute into court to testify before a crowd of men?" A chorus of yeas to kill the bill responded from every part of the house Representative Webb of Quachita parish, when the bill was palced on passage, promptly made a motion to indefinitely postpone it, and then Evans made his lynching appeal. There was not a chance for the bill to pass after that; not even a chance for any one to further attempt to defend it. Any attempt to do so would have given its enemies occasion to make a big name and become candidates for congress. Messrs. Evans and Webb both belong in the Fifth Congressional district. In 1910 the population of the fourteen parishes comprising the congressional district was 204,036, an average of 14,500 to the parish. In Madison parish there are only about 600 white people and the rest are colored people. The parish usually casts about 160 votes all one way in presidential elections, and the whole Fifth district of fourteen parishes, a little more than 4,000 votes. Representation in the legislature is based on apportionment of population and not on apportionment of registered voters. Evans hails from a parish that has a large Negro population. HOW COLORED MAN FEELS ABOUT WAR (Continued from Page 1) many is trying to destroy the government of free people. The civilized nations, with the United States, have pledged all they have to save their people from being made the slaves of the German government. Some of these nations have been destroyed and their people are being starved; others have found that what they once took to be a friend is now a foe. Not a nation has complained at the sacrifice it has made. Each person in the nation stands uncompromisingly behind his government. Today, my friends, the nation under the leadership of President Wilson, is in ranks with twenty-one other nations battling against the forces of evil, a striking evidence that Christ still rules the hearts of men. We are telling the world that we are fighting that the nations of the earth shall not be slaves to another nation, that the world shall be safe for democracy. My friends, it is for freedom we fight. We should be proud to be citizens of the United States of America. There is no freedom for men or women, black or white, until the common foe is defeated. We have a present duty, which is to do all we can to win the war, or, as has been said, "Go back to the simple life, be contented with simple food, simple pleasures and simple clothes—this we must do courageously, for we have a victory to win. Thousands of our sons and brothers are today in the army standing between us and the slavery into which the Germans plan to bring the nations they conquer. Every one of us must live and work so that we may send to these soldiers the guns and bullets and food which they must have.
