NEGRO ASPIRES TO HIGH PLACE IN POLITICS VOL. 1. NO. 22 ANOTHER FAIR-MINDED WHITE MAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO NEGRO The following article was written by a member of the Caucasian race to the editor of the Union, a paper owned and edited by a man of that same race. We think this a remarkable article, coming as it does from the pen of a white man, and are publishing it in full as it appeared in that California paper. Editor Union: On the front of one of the theaters on the Plaza, fronting the Grant Hotel, a sign is conspicuously displayed which reads: "The patronage is desired of white persons only." A proclamation of this character would be insulting to the race against which it is directed and offensive to right-minded and self-respecting persons of all races and colors whosoever and wheresoever it might be made. It is especially objectionable and unpatriotic at this time when this theater is exhibiting a series of official war pictures which the colored people, against whom this local proc. lamination is directed, in common with all other patriotic people, desire to see. Their own kindred are depicted among the soldiers at the battle front. These war pictures have been taken at this battle front and are now being exhibited throughout this country, under and by the special authority and direction of the Government of the United States. This is done that the people of this land—all of the people, and not one race or class only, may see them, and that all may know, what our American people, of all races and colors are doing in our war against the Hun for the freedom of the world for God and humanity. It is a war in which the black man is doing his full share and acquitting himself nobly. So important indeed is it deemed that these war pictures should be seen by all of our people that the president of the United States has recently issued a public and special request that all of our people shall attend these exhibitions and through them learn what our government and our heroic army and navy are doing to keep America and the world free. It is a truism that: "Things seen are stronger than things heard," Tennyson. Our government has wisely decided that it is not enough that our people may read about the war in the news dispatches; they must be given the opportunity to see what is being done. Of course, these words of exclusion at the theater front are directed solely against the African race. The managers of the theater cannot lawfully exclude them; so they publish these words which say in effect, to the black man: "We don't want you here; keep out!"—exceeding that their pride will keep them away. This may be "law honesty," but it is not moral honesty nor patriotic. Our African people were born citi-zens of the United States, and the parents of practically all of them were also born here. They have not needed to be naturalized. As a class they are law abiding, moral and useful citizens. They are equal to all other citizens before the law as to civil rights and duties, including the franchise and the rendering of military service. They work as industriously and pay their taxes just as promptly as do white men. They have volunteered freely in the military and naval service of our country. We are not troubled by Negro slackers, pacifists or I. W. W.'s. Negro regiments commanded in part by Negro officers, in the present war, as in preceding ones, have been conspicuous in their gallantry. They have won their percentage of the decorations conferred for high courage and unselfishness. In this war, as in preceding ones, they have given their lives freely, and will continue to give them freely for the land they love as fervently as though their skins were white. Have we had any more honorable or useful citizens (Continued on Page 4) ARE WOMEN PHYSICALLY FIT? Women are now being urged to take the place of men as farm laborers. "Are they strong enough to do the work?" is the question often raised. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley answers it in the current Good Housekeeping. He says in part: "Women are not physically capable of doing much of the hard work that men do. This fact is too self-evident to warrant any opposition to its truth,fulness. Women are six inches shorter than men, they weigh fifty pounds less. Therefore, in so far as mere brute power is concerned, it takes three women to equal two men. The only difficulty, then, that we would encounter in filling the places of the men at war is in finding three women for each two men. To my mind that is not particularly difficult. There are of course, limitations which can not be disregarded, and these we must observe. In so far as skill is concerned to all kinds of labor, I believe that women acquire it as rapidly as men. There is no question of the fact that, in so far as actual ac,complishment is possible, men are better suited to do heavy work than women but women can do it and do it well. When it comes to the endurance of hardships and fatigue, woman is quite man's equal, in fact I think she is less complaining under stress than man. Her muscles are not so large as those of man, but they are quite as flexible and enduring in their efforts. Hence, in my opinion, there is no industry in the country whose doors should not be wide open to women." HOW TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE (By C. T. M.) Have you ever indulged in daydreams? What fascinating castles in the air they were, the ones you built that drowsy summer afterpoor out in the old hammock under the trees! Or was it that snowy evening after the matinee, and you cuddled down close to the fire on a heap of soft cushions, a big, cheery, wide-wake fire that seemed to talk to you through its roarings and cracklings, and deep down in its reddest embers all the gorgeous palaces and temples of your dreams opened their fairy gates to you. Perhaps you were scolded afterwards for wasting your time, but you didn't mind very much, because the glamor of paradise was still about you and the music of it still rioted in your heart. There was no one there to tell you that you hadn't been wasting time, that the imagination you had been using is one of the greatest constructive forces in all this great world, and that nothing ever happened, no career was ever made, no accomplishment ever completed that had not first been dreamed about. It has ceased to be a novelty, this idea that the great force that builds and evolves and controls everything is the power of thought. There is a difference, however, between the thought you were employing in your air castles and the constructive thought. It is just the difference between passive and positive attitudes of mind. It is the directed, focussed thought that builds, that changes the picture phantoms of your dreams into real, material, embodied facts. The passive thought, that merely pictures a vague and hopeless wish, one that is resigned almost before it is made, has no power of attraction, no force with which to influence its gratification. Let us suppose that for some purpose you need money. To sit down and dependently think how badly you need it, how hopeless is any idea of obtaining it, or even to vaguely dream of what you would do with it if you did have it, will do you no good whatever. Instead, you adopt some such attitude of mind as this: "I need this money. It is just and right that I should have it. There is plenty of money in the world, plenty for everyone. A need was never created that was not meant to be provided for. This money is mine; I know it will come to me." Such a mental attitude, by its resolution and (Continued on page 4) ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1918 ADVERTISING SUBJECT TO BE DISCUSSED AT NEGRO BUSINESS MEET Turkkeege Institute Ala.—A feature of the nineteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, which will meet in Atlantic City, N.J., August 21, 22 and 23, will be an address on advertising by St. Elmo Massengale, president of the Massengale Advertising Agency of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Massengale is one of the best informed men in America on advertising and kindred subjects. Few white men in the South have a better grasp of the problems of race relationships from a business viewpoint and his message will be one of especial significance to the business and newspaper men of the race. THE NERGO STANDS LIKE A STONE The Negro like a stone once stood Beneath the flag to protect it; Like the Savior's scripture says, By the builders was rejected. But is now the corner stone, On which security much depends And for universal freedom they Are called to arms again. A cause for which our mothers prayed With bended knees upon the ground The freedom which our God intended Would have international bound. If enduring hardness makes a soldier, The Negro is ready prepared for war, And will prove themselves a Samson With a bone from a beast's jaw. On the day of registration is a fact that we well know, When the question was asked, "Will you", Gladly answered "We will go." As they sail across the ocean, To win the fight for liberty, Hoping when the war is ended, Every race and nation will be free. We will first go seek old Kaiser Who has become all nations' foe We'll say, old Satan, get behind us For unto victory we must go. Now when the awful fight is ended, And we bring the victory home, Pay us not in gold or silver, But let us wear the victor's palm. R. W. THOMPSON SAYS PHOENIX TRIBUNE IS A BRIGHT JOURNAL The following letter was received by Helen Harper Vance from R. W. Thompson, of Washington, D. C., formerly conductor of Thompson's News Bureau, but now an assistant in the office of Mr. Emmett J. Scott: "I received the Tribune and read it with great enjoyment. It is one of the brightest papers in the country, and has indeed placed Phoenix, Arizona, on the map as far as colored people are concerned. "Mr. Smith sends the Tribune to our office regularly—that is the office of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War. I am with him in the war department and have been since May 9th. Nice work, but there is a lot of it and it never ends. I am on publicity among other things, and we keep the papers full of dope about the Negro and the war." The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools will hold its fifteenth annual session at Harper's Ferry July 31-August 3. The program, which has been issued by President Clark of the Southern University, Baton Rouge, La., and associates, presents a wide grasp and modern view of education. PRESIDENT WILSON APPROVES NEW AGE LIMITS. 18 TO 45 Congress Asked to Pass Bill in Time to Make September 5 the Day for Registration The new administration man-power bill, extending the selective service act to all men between the ages of 18 and 45, inclusive, and authorizing the President to call such persons into military service "in sequence of ages and at such times" as he may prescribe, was introduced Monday in both houses of Congress. The government's plan is to place an army of at least 5,000,000 in France. The war department does not wish to draw any men from the deferred classes in the present registration, and there will be only 100,000 left in Class 1 after September 1. Between the ages of 32 and 45 Gen. Crowder estimated there are 10,028,973 males, but taking into consideration those married or who would be subject to deferred classification because of physical conditions or other reasons, he estimates the "net effects" at 601,236. Between 18 and 20 he estimates the number 3,717,671, of which the "net effects" would total 1,737,609. Married Men Not Wanted It is not intended to disrupt domestic conditions of the country by drafting married men with dependents into the army. Only single men are desired. The new bill also provides a wider scope for industrial exemptions. It is believed that all the man power required can be secured from Class 1, after the new registration. Draft registrants in Class 1 include the following: Single men without dependents; married men, with or without children, or fathers who habitually fail to support dependents; married men with or without children dependent on wife for support, married men, with or without children, or father of motherless children, not usefully engaged and whose family is supported by income independent of their labor; unskilled and not necessary farm laborers; unskilled or not necessary industrial laborers; registrants who waive deferred classification; registrants who fail to send in questionnaires and all registrants not included in any other division. The new bill has been approved by President Wilson and Secretary Baker and it is hoped to have it passed in time for naming September 5 as registration day. It will be 90 days later before the first draft contingent is called. NEGRO IS PATRIOT PAR-EXCELLENCE "Return either with your shield or on it!" was the exhortation of a Spartan mother to her son on his departure for the field of battle, and this substance is what the Negro mothers are saying to their sons as they leave for the various training camps, where they will prepare themselves for the mighty conflict across the sea. With cheerful hearts and smiling faces they go to give their all for their country. No higher price can be paid for liberty than the giving of one's life for his country's sake. And so, too, there can be no truer patriot. The Negro's patriotism is not on trial. He has stood the acid test on many a battle field and when the curtain again rises on a new world when this great holocaust of blood has ceased, and world Democracy reigns supreme, unprejudiced history will record the fact that the Negro played no inconsiderable part in the transformation. "What is the feeling of the Negro in regards to the War?" is a question that is frequently asked. To such a question we would say that in spite of the fact the Negroes are lynched and burned at the stake they will FIRST NEGRO BACHELOR OF MUSIC AT HAMPTON A Composer, Student of the Piano, Chorus Teacher and Philosopher In the amazing new interest which the war has brought to music as a community asset, the Negro is not being lost sight of. And this is as it should be. No people love music as a mere expression of every-day life as does the Negro. He sings because he can't help himself. And his heart and soul are behind the practice. Nathaniel Dett, of Hampton Down in Virginia, at Hampton, there is a Negro who thinks differently of his race with respect to music. He is a director of vocal music at Hampton Institute, and his name is Dett. Among other things, he is the composer of "In the Bottoms," "Listen to the Lambs," "I'll Never Turn Back No more," and "Weeping Mary." 'This is a highly curt way to sum up a man who has already accomplished a very considerable deal in music. Nathaniel Dett is a Canadian by birth, curiously enough; but a 1908 graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, which institution gave him his degree of Bachelor of Music for his original compositions. He was the first Negro in America to receive such a degree, it is worth noting. He studied the piano. However, it is as a teacher of the voice that he has exerted his widest influence. A Philosophy of Negro Music Men of this stamp, thoroughly educated in their art, are the real forces behind the current movement to make something solid and established out of the old plantation melodies of slave days; the "Spirituals," as we have now grown to call them. Mr. Dett knows the full importance of the old folk-tunes. Nor is he one who believes in letting them remain in their primitive form. He wishes to see them developed and utilized, as the composers in other lands have taken their race's primitive folk-tunes and elaborated them into conscious art forms. Just why are Negro schools cut when others are permitted to go the full length has always been as clear as mud to us. It does seem that the fellow who is most in need of a thing ought to at least have as much as the other. Be that as it may the Negro is a citizen, and as such is entitled to the same benefits that any other citizen receives. Suppose the poorer class of white people were given short school terms, while the wealthy class enjoyed the full term of eight or nine months, there would go up a mighty howl, and justly so, for are they not all citizens? The trouble with the Negro is that he has contented himself with a half loaf when he might have gotten a whole loaf. The Negro is no less a citizen than the foreigner who comes to our shores, and yet the foreigner reaps these same benefits that the Negro is deprived. We ask in all seriousness, is it fair? Perhaps we do not pay as much taxes, directly as our more fortunate white brother, it is infinitely better that all citizens, regardless of races or creeds, be educated even though a burden is saddled upon the State and county in so doing. In fact this is not really a burden, for in the final analysis, it is transformed into an asset far more valuable than any investment that otherwise might be made. An educated citizenry is the basis upon which all progress must rest, and this includes the Negro. Therefore, he should contend for what is justly his until he gets it. If he fails he should try again. It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all. In other words, "Just keep on keeping on." Washington, D. C., is to have a new $100,000 apartment house for Negroes. Ground was recently broken. never bow to the wiles of the propagandist. The Negro is not a hyphenate, he is American to the manner born. And Kipling pays this fitting tribute: "If blood be the price of liberty, If blood be the price of liberty, If blood be the price of liberty, Lord, God, he's paid in full." COLORED MAN IS CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY CLERK OF ALEMEDA CO. State Reasons Why He Should Be Elected To Office And Gives Out Some Valuable Information Editor's Note: This article appeared in the Oakland Sunshine as a political advertisement, but the very fact that a member of our race is a candidate for County Clerk right over here in Alameda county, California, and not a colored man in Arizona aspiring to anything—in a political way—higher than a janitorship at the state capitol, makes this a REAL NEWS item for this section. Mr. E. Marshall is the gentleman referred to and he has the following to say regarding his candidacy: "As a candidate for County Clerk of Alameda county, I desire to place before the voters a few facts concerning my candidacy that they are entitled to know. First, I stand today where I have always stood for the highest and most efficient form of government. I believe that this country with its institutions, belong to the people who inhabit it, and that every true American should stand for all the rights and privileges guaranteed by the Constitution of our beloved country. I do not believe that the race which I represent has had a fair chance in the economic and industrial development of the Nation. I know that the door of opportunity has too often been closed in his face. I believe that America today is aroused to a true sense of her duty. It cannot be ignorant of the fact that too many worthy and patriotic citizens are denied their inalienable rights solely because of their color. I realize that all right thinking men will agree with me, and when I say that any race that will lay its all on the altar of sacrifice as we are doing has a right to have a voice in the governmental affairs of the Nation. Who could witness the departure of 53 of our young men and fail to feel our responsibility, whether white or black. Our duty as loyal American citizens is to support them with all that we have at our command. We are to buy Government Bonds, War Saving Stamps and aid the Red Cross. If this is a fact, and it is, then why should we not have confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? The Almighty ruler of the Nation, with His eternal right and justice is on our side, and as a loyal American citizen I contend that I have a right to aspire for any office within the gift of the people. The American people as a whole beginning to think straight on these lines. We shall not set supinely by and let the opportunity to present our claim. We have tried every form of argument with those in authority to no avail. We have been promised everything in the catalogue, but we usually got promises. Men without honor sold you for a few tainted dollars; the result was that when our boys came from school it was railroad or cook pot. I am fighting to better this condition. I have no desire to be looked upon as a leader, and am only pleading for an even break for a men regardless of creed or color. Having an abiding faith in the justice of my cause I shall lay it before the voters of Alameda county on the 17th inst. I ask no special favors because I am a Negro, but simple justice because of a man. As I predicted, the ward heeler and crooked politician is now on the war path; his one desire is to cloud the issue. Our issue is clear; we are forever breaking his hold on a gullible public. This is not only the race fight, but the fight of all true men and women everywhere, whether white or black. Democracy is our watchward—true Democracy the world over. Today the roar of the cannon can be heard in France and can be heard around the world—an omen that it might be safe for the same principles that I am contending for at home. As I pen this I am conscious that thousands of Afri-Americans are swelling the battle line in Europe, fighting for the great principles held dear to us all. Many of our young men who left just a few days ago will never return. We shall have only the memory of the costly sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Shall not we, then, take increased devotion to the cause of freedom in order that they should not have died in vain, and contend for our rights as guaranteed by the Constitution of the greatest Republic in the world." FUND STARTED TO STOP LYNCHING SAN ANTONIO, Tex., August 4.—Announcement was made today by publishers of the San Antonio Express of the establishment of a fund totaling $100,000 to be maintained for five years to combat and punish lynching and mob violence within the bounds of continental United States. In announcing the fund it is said a reward of $100 will be paid to each person directly responsible for arrest and subsequent conviction of any person or persons instrumental in arousing a mob to commit lynching or participating in the lynching itself when the victim is white. A reward of $1,000 is provided under similar conditions when the victim of the lynching is a Negro. The offer applies both to officers of the law and private citizens of any state. The grand officers of the Arkansas United Brothers of Friendship are: Lew Hedspeth, Little Rock, grand master; J. H. Hammond, Little Rock, grand secretary; G. S. Winston, Fort Smith, grand treasurer.

HOW TO RUN A NEWSPAPER commenced publication of the Phoenix T- have had from one to seven people come to run a newspaper." Elbert Hubbard said it costs." We are not wholly in accord pertus, for it is our belief that good adv Since we commenced publication of the Phoenix Tribune six months ago we have had from one to seven people come to us each week and advise "how to run a newspaper." Elbert Hubbard said: "Free advice is worth just what it costs." We are not wholly in accord with the statement of Fra Elbertus, for it is our belief that good advice is sometimes given gratis. However, if one has not a mind of his own and seeks to follow every suggestion made by friends he will soon find himself in an awful six. We have tried to be considerate of the wishes and desires of our readers and for that reason have been unable to carry out all the suggestions made by admiring friends. We have taken your advice for what we thought it was worth, and as the occasion arises and the opportunity seems to permit, we shall make use of your valuable suggestions. Our idea of running a newspaper is to fill it with good, newsy items, a clean, nonpartisan editorial column, and the use of every legimate effort to make it popular so as to increase the circulation thereby offering a rich field for the advertiser. This done we are at once placed on speaking terms with Almighty Dollar, and our brief experience in the newspaper business has taught us that until the new journalist is so situated, he is going to find a mighty hard row of stumps and a difficult task to follow any suggestions except those which immediate needs dictate. The old established weekly newspaper and the big daily editions, may be able to run along smoothly without giving a thought to their monthly incomes, but with the new journalist that thought is uppermost in his mind, for he knows that is the oil which keeps his machine in good running order. Unless the supply of oil is sufficient there is liable to be a serious mishap. Any one with common sense and a lot of money can run a newspaper. There are plenty of people everywhere around you who are ready to furnish the news items, write the editorials, make any suggestion necessary, in fact furnish everything that it takes to get out a first class newspaper except the cost of publication. So you see, its easy enough to run a newspaper. All you need is money. Your friends will gladly furnish anything else that is necessary. Only a little while and autumn will be with us. A good item to start that Y. M. C. A dirve for Phoenix. Every one with whom we have talked regarding this proposition is in favor of it. What we need now is some man with initiative to take the lead and PUSH the thing through. Phoenix is going to have a colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A. Who wants to have the credit of starting the campaign that will result in the achievement of this mighty project? Don't all speak at once, please. All kinds of interpretations are being placed on the recent speech of President Wilson, denouncing mob law. The brainy colored editors all over the country say he had in mind the horrible lynchings which have occurred recently in the South, particularly the East St. Louis riot. Some white editors say he had in mind the lynching of pro-Germans. A certain Southern white man, who is a Democrat and newspaper man of wide experience, says the President had in mind the Bisbee deportations. Who knows better the mind of President Wilson, our brainy colored editors or one of Mr. Wilson's own countrymen? We pause for comment. News Item: "Owing to scarcity of material, due to conditions caused by the war, women's dresses will be one inch shorter this fall." Do you think his case serious, doctor, or was it just a shock? Doctor—He'll get accustomed to it after awhile. "Nothing succeeds like success." Success is said to be contagious. Wish we could contract the disease. Inoculate us with the germ, please. The man worth while, is the man with a smile. Smile out loud. Vic S.

Olive Baptist church of this city, held such a crowd as was gathered there on last Sunday afternoon to attend the funeral of Mrs. Lucy Williams. Mrs. Williams passed away Saturday morning, August 10 at 6:35. She was a patient at the Copper Queen hospital at Lowell, where she had undergone an operation about 17 days ago for the removal of a tumor. She suffered greatly after the operation and constantly grew weaker and weaker until death finally relieved her. Mrs. Lucy Williams was born March 22, 1881 at Galveston, Texas. In 1901 she married Alex Williams Lemmons. They came to Douglas, Arizona, 17 years ago when there was only a house here and there. She and her husband worked together, and by thrift and frugality amassed considerable wealth. Mrs. Williams was known throughout Arizona, and Texas as well. She was loved and respected by all races. She was extremely well liked by the Spanish speaking people, as she was master of their language and understood their customs. She was matron of Cochise Chapter No. 117, O. E. S., four years in succession, holding that office at the time of her demise. She was founder and organizer of various chapters in Arizona, working as Deputy District Grand Matron for the Texas jurisdiction. The last chapter set up by her was at Globe, Arizona last June. She was a great church worker and a good Christian women. With these honors and the honors of that grand order of the Eastern Star, she was laid to rest. Her many friends will not see her again in this world, but her good works will long be remembered. A husband, mother and sister survive her. Our loss is heaven's gain. She lived on this earth thirty-seven years, four months and eighteen days. Our Savior said: "If any man be believe in me, though he die, yet shall he live." Believest thou this? CHANDLER. ARIZ.

There was a cloudburst up the canyon and about 8 o'clock Tuesday morning Mineral Creek became a raging torrent. Nearly all the colored people had to leave their houses, as they live right on the lowest banks of the creek. Three houses were swept away by the flood; two belonged to Mose Davis and the other to Anthony Smith. The houses belonging to L. H. Harris, Mrs. R. Reed, A. Lewis, W. Barnell and J. A.

This differs from the other in that the spirit of these promoters of social unrest and disorder are determined to strike down the professional and independent men and women of our Race in the South. They shield their hand in their nefarious work by claiming patriotic allegiance and when they find a man or woman of our Race who speak out of the best conscience in the defense of their people and in defense of law and order and stability of government as against violence, mob rule and rapine, these people are called disloyal by this new band of so-called patriots. As evidence of their unholy activities (it is only necessary to recite one particular instance in which Dr. J. H. Miller, well known and reputable citizen of this city, was accused by the mob of disloyalty and was given a certain length of time which, of course, consisted of a day, to close up his business affairs, his medical practice and all that he had in his lifetime accumulated—he was told to close it up and leave the city, and these people who gave him this instruction claim to represent law and order. And how was this citizen who had spent his life through every many effort to build up the city of Vicksburg, treated by this mob? Stripped of his clothes, tarred and feathered from head to foot and sent out of the city. This was done by white men, who are supposed to represent law and order. The real facts concerning Dr. Miller is that his loyalty and patriotism to his country has never been questioned, that he had lived up to the highest ideals of parlotism is evidenced by the fact that he had in his possession at the time of his attack by the savage mob an appreciable amount of United States Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps. It is said by those who understand the pulse of this new movement that the aim and object of this alleged loy-damaged by the flood. The extent of the damage done the colored people here is conservatively placed at $2000. Have You Read the Advertisements? A. D. Selders has been called to the army and is now at Camp Funston.

Patronize Tribune Advertisers alty is to drive the professional members of the Race from the South under the guise of disloyalty. There is of course, a deeper significance than only driving them away from the South. The deep rooted scheme is to rob our people in that part of the country of any intelligent medium through which to make their appeal for their Race. The object is plainly evident. They hope by so doing to virtually re-enslave the ignorant members of the Race. Having robbed them of their civil rights, they now have set on foot methods by which they hope to rob them of their commercial and professional success. All under the guise of disloyalty. The crowning effort of their contemptible act was the tar and feathering of two women of the Race, one of whose husbands is said to be in the trenches in France. One of the women tarred and feathered, Mrs. Ellen Brooks, was burned with creosote, in addition to the coating of tar and feathers. She was a hard working woman. For inhuman treatment, brutal and savage conduct, this crowns the natives of Mississippi with the curse of savagery that will be forever linked with the name of the state wherever mentioned among civilized people of the earth. The history of the brutal monarchs of the old world have been read and reread seeking a comparison for this odious crime—nothing can be found in the dark pages of ancient history that will strike a balance with the conduct of these "Vickskburg Citizens." It is hoped for the sake of the good name of America that when the muse of history will take in its keeping the records of mankind, that the memory of the State of Mississippi in its treatment of its fellow man will be left out of consideration. Not only was this ruthless intrepidation imposed upon these people but a number of business and professional men who were out of the city on official business and who are substantial property owners were sent letters by the mob with instructions for them not to return home. No regard was shown by these promoters of savagery to give these men any opportunity of arranging their business affairs, which were the accumulations of a life-time; they were simply advised not to return to Vicksburg. This conduct demonstrated the security of life and property in our country. It is extremely unfortunate that a thing of this kind should occur when every real patriotic American citizens is exerting every wholesome influence possible to aid the government in this tremendous crisis that autocracy might be wiped from the earth. While this is being done, Mississippi rises up to burn its women with creosote and tar and feather respectable women and men under the guise of disloyalty. There was an apparent cessation of migration of some of our people to the North, but it is said on good authority that this late innovation of mob rule has caused numerous people of our Race to start North, where their property rights can be secure, where their wives and children will be defended in their rights by the strong arm of the law, and where government is run for the benefit of the governed, and where the wives and children of the soldiers in France will receive protection of their patriotic people at home, and the business and professional men are secure in their activities. S. A. T. Watson, for many years an assistant corporation counsel in Chicago has been appointed Assistant United States District Attorney for the northern district of Illinois. A $10,000 home for colored girls has been purchased by Negroes in Youngstown, O., with the aid of white friends. The name of Judge A. C. Baker will be submitted to the Democratic voters for nomination to the office of Judge of the Supreme Court at the primary election September 10, 1918. President Cleveland appointed Judge Baker Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1893. During the time he held this high office he wrote many opinions of prime importance in the judicial history of the state. These opinions clearly express the rule of law governing each particular case, and J. B. JUDGE A. C. BAKER, CANDIDATE, FOR JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT are briefly stated without ostentation or useless excursions into literary fields, and are singularly free from all appearance of political bias. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention and served with distinction in that body. Among other important measures introduced and advocated by him was resolution No.4, providing for the initiative and referendum, and although the committee changed this resolution somewhat in phraseology, and in some particulars added there to, yet it served as a basis of the resolution afterwards introduced by the committee providing for the initiative and referendum, as it now stands in the constitution. Judge Baker has filled many other places of public trust with fidelity and ability. He was a member of the 11th Legislative Assembly'. He served as Assistant U. S. District Attorney for one term and District Attorney of Maricopa county for three terms. He has been president of the State Bar Association and at the present time is a member of the State Board of Law Examiners, which conducts the examination of applicants for admission to the bar. As a lawyer his standing is exceedingly high. His learning in the law, coupled with a rigid impartiality in the formation of his opinions, his freedom from any kind of prejudice, social or political, his unflagging industry, and his frankness and fearlessness in the public duty, eminently qualifies him for the high position of Judge of the Supreme Court. He has appeared as counsel for one side or the other in a large number of the most important cases tried in the state for nearly forty years. When the liquor interests backed by an array of the best legal talent in the state, attacked the prohibition amendment as unconstitutional and sought to enjoin its enforcement, Judge Baker, associated with the attorney general appeared before the Federal Court in California in defense of the law: The court refused to enjoin the enforcement of the amendment, and it remained intact and unimpaired until the opinion of the Supreme Court of the state was handed-down, permitting the introduction of liquor into the state for personal use. Judge Baker is a firm Democrat. However, he has never suffered his political views to effect him in the discharge of a public duty. The Judge has been greatly interested in work for the Red Cross and urging the purchase of Liberty Bonds. His addresses in behalf of these causes have been imbued with a spirit of fervid patriotism, and have been extremely helpful. His two sons, Alexander and Robert, are in the United States Army, serving their country, of which fact he is justly proud. — Advt. HARDWARE PALACE MID ARMS CO.
