VOL.1. NO.23 ALBANY, N. Y.—"Listen here, black men. I'm coming out on a point and if I make it the whole five of us is going to enlist with Uncle Sam before we get caught in the draft," declared Henry Johnson, an Albany colored youth. His companions acquiesced, and Henry "came out" on four. "It takes a trey to carry an ace," shouted Henry as he petted the dice and "got them warm." "Waugh! The ace and trey "showed" and the five enlisted. Henry is now weighted down with a French cross and the golden palm, the war's greatest honors, while convalescing in a French hospital. He went over the top single-handed, carved a few of the Germans who thought him "easy picking," and put the rest of them to flight before he fell from his wounds. FACTS WORTH KNOWING Bv A. R. S. The great European war, which has involved nearly every nation in the world, began August 1, 1914. On August 2, Germany demanded that Belgium grant her permission to pass through the country for strategic reasons in her campaign against France. Belgium, thus confronted with the choice of granting the demand or protecting its independence and neutrality, chose the latter course. Under the guidance of her ruler, King Albert, this little countrry, about one-fourth the size of the state of Pennsylvania, unprepared, with a handful of men pitted against Germany's trained armies, has had to pay heavily for that decision, and it has become the battleground of Europe. Its works of art have been destroyed, its cities burned, its farms devastated and its people killed, maimed or put into slavery. On August 11, 1807, the first steamboat, the Clermont, made a trial trip on the Hudson river, covering the distance from New York to Albany in 36 hours, a journey which had formerly required from seven to ten days. It traveled at the rate of five miles an hour. Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat, had invented various machines, flax spinners, rope twisters, and canal locks, and had been continually occupied with these inventions up to the time he turned his attention to the subject of steam navigation in American commerce, which was then considered practically impossible. He had made many failures, but he must have taken for his motto the old saw, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," for he persisted—and succeeded. There are now no details of the construction and cost of the first steamboat extant, but Fulton left a written description of the first trial trip, which is often quoted. The boat was probably propelled by a beam engine with the paddle wheels unclosed, and may have been equipped with sails. To this same inventor belongs the honor of constructing, in 1814, the first steam war vessel ever built by the United States. Like many inventors, he failed to protect his creations properly, and, like many of these patient workers, he died without reaping the benefits of his toil and without knowing how wonderful his inventions were. Everybody knows that the people of Illinois are called "Suckers" and those of Wisconsin "Badgers," but everybody doesn't know why. A long time ago, in the lead region of Wisconsin, there were two classes of miners—those who worked at the mines the year around and those who came from Illinois to operate during the summer only. Those who stayed permanently used to dig burrows in the hillside and there they cooked, ate and slept. They were therefore called "badgers" on account of their burrows. And because the Illinoisans usually came in the spring and went in the fall, at the same time the suckers in the river migrated, the term "sucker" was applied to them. The average weight of a man's heart is eleven ounces; of a woman's nine ounces. And so, in the business of love, in the giving and taking of hearts. (Continued on page 4) THE STANDARD OF RESPECTABILITY IW THE UNITED STATES TODAY A sense of responsibility is the beginning of being respectable. We speak of a man "settling down." In invariably this comes when he assumes some responsibility—a wife, a family, regular work, a home, a future. Let that sense of responsibility awaken, and the man shows signs of developing into what is commonly known as an "estimable citizen." But back of these estimable characteristics, what? Ownership. The very undertaking of ownership presupposes a willingness to assume responsibilities. Thus, a man buys a house. He is immediately responsible to himself and to his family to keep it in good repair and furnished in good taste; he is responsible to his neighbors to keep the surroundings of that house in good and pleasant condition; he is responsible to the community to maintain the road that runs before it by paying taxes. In short, a man begins to be respectable when his sense of responsibility extends from his own personal creature comforts and pleasures to others and to the locality in which he lives. From this it is only a step to the development of a national conscience, which we call patriotism, and from a national to a cosmopolitan conscience, a conscience which is sensitive to injustice in other lands and is quick to demand its extermination. During the past year the American people have had their horizon tremendously widened. They found themselves responsible to a vague something called the American ideal of democracy; they found themselves responsible to other people in other lands, and they have been called to shoulder that responsibility and have done it willingly, despite the sacrifices it entailed. But America could scarcely have hoped to sustain such a burden had not the mass of the American people been schooled in the fundamental responsibilities of a home, a garden and a debt to the community. There is on foot a movement to induce Americans to own their own homes. In addition to the particular advantage this gives the owner himself, the movement is a very vital training in good citizenship. For the backbone of a nation is its everyday people who own their everyday homes and live their everyday lives and do their everyday work. The marvelous spirit of France which has been sustained during these four years of tribulation can be accounted for by the fact that the French peasant owns the soil he tills. The collapse of the Russia national ideal is directly traceable to the fact that 75 per cent of the population, the farmers, did not own their own land and homes; they had no national responsibility because they had no personal ownership. The problem that England must solve sooner or later is this very same "own your home" question. It is then, a far-sighted move to awaken Americans to the necessity for owning their own homes. It will make a more respectable nation. It will give us a solidarity and a quickly aroused sense of responsibility to the democratic ideal and its establishment in other lands which, in a word, is what this great war is being fought for. National responsibility has taken very material forms this past year. It has called our sons to the battle line; it has asked us to lend our money to the nation and to contribute to the nation's great work of mercy, the Red Cross; it has imposed upon us—for our good and the good of others—certain necessary dietary restrictions; it has made us dig up our garden and grow CAMP GRANT. Ill.—John Thodonski of Chicago, a Russian, whose father is fighting in the Russian army, has all kinds of reasons why he doesn't want to fight. He says so himself in no uncertain terms. First, he doesn't want to get shot; second, he wants to return to Russia; third, he wants to be placed in class 5 without registering. Uncle Sam is interested in John and will eventually determine what to do with him, via the court martial route. He is interned at Camp Grant. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX. ARIZONA. SATURDAY. AUGUST 24. 1918 our own food. All these things are part and parcel of the development of responsibility and respectability, for the respectable man is one who contributes his share to the common good. It is necessary that we understand the philosophy of this great world movement before we can grasp its practical applications. Today it is the duty of every American to subscribe for at least one bond in each Liberty loan issue, just as it is his duty each year to pay his taxes. It is his duty to curb excess and waste at his table by following the government rules of meatless and wheatless days. It is his duty to give the Red Cross just as it is his duty to help support the churches and charities and other mediums for good in his community. By these means has the everyday American grown up from a small town man to a national citizen. According to the measure with which he assumes these fundamental responsibilities will depend his future development into a citizen of the world. The nations of the world are facing the problem of widespread socialistic propaganda. The socialists demand for each man his share of ownership. This is also the basis of American democratic ideals. In America a man has not alone the right, but the opportunity for ownership. The legislation of the present is directly aimed against the people who own more than their share. The day will come when no man can afford to be immensely wealthy, because immense ownership and wealth require more responsibilities than it is humanly possible for one man to carry. This is the price of democracy—that the owner shall be responsible. But it also has its compensations. Ownership means power. The man who owns a Liberty bond controls the power of the money; the man and woman who own a home and pay taxes control the franchise for that home; the man who owns a backyard has the power for supplying his family with food if he will work to grow it. We stand at the crossroads. In the past, when a nation went to war its landed barons alone assumed the responsibility, because they alone had it. In the travail of the present world conflict is being brought forth the concept of universal democracy. When nations of the future go to war—as God grant they never shall—it will be the sentiment of the whole people, because then the whole people shall be owners. In this lies the strength of America—that its people are undertaking the ownership of their homes together with the responsibilities ownership entails. That is why, after a long and trying period of injustices, they arose to help crush the malefactor of the world. That is why they are going to float the next Liberty loan, why they will give another hundred million to the Red Cross, why they planted three million gardens last year and why they will plant four million this year. The word respectable has fallen into disuse and has become a mockery. Nevertheless, it is the state every man aspires to. He wants a respectable home in a respectable neighborhood, respectable clothes a good education for his children and a prospect for their future advancement. There is no other basis for that future or the present save the basis of ownership. The standard of respectability in America today is to ow na home, own Liberty Bonds and have a war garden. A home, food and funds—in these three lies the power o f the American citizen. $9,000,000 CARGO IS DISCHARGED AT BOSTON BOSTON, Mass.—The most valuable cargo to reach this port in many years was recently discharged at the Boston docks. A conservative value of $9,000,000 was placed upon it. The cargo consisted of 18,657 bales of Egyptian cotton, weighing 13,433,040 pounds, valued at 60 cents a pound; also 3,447 bales of gum arabic, now worth 55 cents a pound. The steamcarrying this cargo was 28 days on the way from Alexandria, Egypt, and passed through the submarine infested waters of the Mediterranean without mishap. TRIBUTE TO LOYALTY OF BLACK AMERICANS (Editor's Note: The article below was written by a man from Missouri, and he knows whereof he speaks. He is a full-blood Anglo-Saxon and has the following to say about the black man.) "A man cannot be judged by the color of his skin, but rather by his acts, superinduced by the quality of his heart, conscience and brain. Humanity is pretty much the same the world over, and education is a development which brings out the latent qualities and gives expression to our thoughts. Therefore, to the colored people of our community, the United States of America, let me give you a message: 'Right is Might,' and eventually must rise to its proper sphere and shine before the world in principle, truth and justice. To the colored people let me say that you have it within your own power to lift up and paint the way for generations to follow. Through individuals and organizations each man and woman can frown upon the baser deeds to such an extent that if within your social reach any man or woman commits an act or gives expression derogatory to the best interests of the negro, it will be unpopular, and when it becomes unpopular it has received its death blow. I was born and reared in St. Louis, Mo., and have lived in the southern states as well as in the northern and western states, so that I have mingled with the colored race and believe I know its people well. In point of loyalty and honor, I have found among them some of the most stalwart characters on earth, true to mankind, honest in their convictions and ready to do that which they know to be right. I believe that the educated negroes must organize among themselves to educate their race in this (Continued on page 4) WOMEN WAITERS ON SHIPS IS NEW PLAN SEATTLE, Wash.—Women waiters for steamships is the latest plan suggested for releasing man power for war work. The steamship companies owning vessels plying in the Pacific coastwise trade are considering this move. "That's the last straw," said the boatswain of an Alaska liner when told of the plan. "What is the world coming to? They might do in the dining salon, but how about the other work waiters perform at sea? It's impossible." "It can be done," said an old-time mariner. "They'll all get seasick the first day out and somebody will have to wait on them." SUBSTITUTES FOR SUGAR With the sugar shortage more critical than ever, Mrs. Lockwood, home economics director of the federal food administration for Arizona, is urging the wider use of substitutes for sugar in preserving fruits. She says: "Honey may be used successfully for canning, but at the present price it is inadvisable except where persons have a supply which could not be otherwise used. In canning, use one-half cup of honey and one cup of water to one quart of fruit. "Corn syrup is an excellent substitute for sugar, as it lacks the strong flavor which honey gives to canned and preserved products. "In canning, use one cup of white corn syrup and one-half cup of water to one quart of fruit. For preserves, one pint of syrup, one-half cup of water and one half teaspoonful of salt should be used to each quart of fruit. Boil the water, salt and syrup until it spins a thread, pour over the fruit and cook until thick. Seal in jars. "Or pack the fruit in sterilized jars, fill with the thick syrup, and proceed as in the cold-pack method. "The following table will be found helpful to housewives in combining sugar and corn syrup: Syrup A—Corn syrup, 5 cups; sugar, 5 cups; water, 8 1-3 cups. Syrup B—Corn syrup, 6 1-2 cups; sugar, 3 1-4 cups; water, 8 cups. Syrup C—Corn syrup, 7 cups; sugar, 2 1-3 cups; water, 7 2-3 cups. "The above measures are used for producing one gallon of the finished product. The same proportions may be used for making less or greater quantities." GEN. PERSHING TELLS WOMEN OF AMERICA---WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! From the man who commands "our boys" in France comes this message: "Let everyone who has a loved one on this side, write, write, write. Send long, cheerful letters, telling not of great events but of the happenings in the home—things about friends and all the things that look little to the folks at home, but which the soldiers like to read about. Then, again, don't wait for a reply. Replies may not always be prompt. But let the letters from home be very prompt." Repeated stories are being told of the absolute joy with which mail is received on the other side. The messages from home, telling of the little intimate things that are happening, mean more than anything else in the world to "the boys" in the trenches. The following, written from the front, is a further call to duty: "The influence which our women exercise on the army's conduct in this war cannot be over-estimated. They are the army's inspiration in everything it does. The soldier fights not for himself but for the woman he loves—for her and for her posterity. * * * . So, the army's message to the women is that it is here for them. We say to each of them—your fighting man has come to France to take his part in the great war, animated by the same impulses which make an American fight anywhere for the protection of womankind. The soldier knows that the women trust him and that they will encourage and support him." The importance of writing letters to the boys "over there" cannot be over-stated. It is just as much a part of the work necessary for victory as is the shipping of arms and ammunition. The morale of our troops must be kept up. They need your help. They need the inspiration that comes from friendly words from home. They are, in a large measure, strangers in a strange land. They are in the midst of death and desolation. They have a tremendously hard task to do, and they are doing that task for us—for you and for me. It is only a small thing for them to ask, but a very necessary thing for us to do—to write, and write frequently. And when you send letters, see to it that you write and direct these letters in such a way as to insure their delivery. The American Postal Services in France thus urges relatives of American soldiers to exercise extreme care in directing mail to the troops abroad. "Given names should be written in full. Return addresses should be given, and ink should always be used. Lead pencil writing often becomes illegible in transit." General Pershing singles this one thing out as among the most vital services that the women of America can render to "the boys" over there. MEN GETTING $11.65 A DAY DECLARE STRIKE WALLACE, Idaho.—A company or state guards was ready to come here in case of trouble threatened by a strike of miners at the Morning and Gold Hunter lead mines. A majority of the strikers are earning from $7.65 to $11.65 a day on contract work. They demanded an eight-hour day, a pay day twice a month and Sunday off with pay once a month. IMMODESTY TABOO AT THIS BATHING BEACH WILMINGTON, N. C.—Drastic legislation against immodest bathing suits has been enacted by the Wrightsville Beach board of aldermen, following registration of complaints. A fine of $10 will be imposed upon any mermaid who appear swithout stockings or in an otherwise immodest costume. One-third of the strikers are of draft age. They were called before the Shoshone Defense Council and told to work or fight. They refused to do either and the council urged the draft board to place them in the army at once. PRICE OF STAPLES TO BE REDUCED Beginning September 1, the federal food administration for Arizona will start a drive for the reduction of prices in all staple lines. County food administrators and their deputies have been instructed to appoint for every community of any size in the state a fair price interpreting board. These boards will be made up of representatives of the merchants, the consumers, union labor and other interests, and meetings will be held once a week. A table of prices will be published weekly, and this will show the price paid by the retailer and the range of prices to the consumer. It is expected by this means to effect a reduction in prices in several lines, especially in the smaller communities, and without working an injustice with the dealer. TOWN MAYOR PLEADS FOR SCANT BEACH GARB SAVANNAH, Ga.—When attention was called to the restrictions Wilmington, N. C., has placed on fair bathers at Wrightville Beach, Mayor James M. Dixon of Tybee said: "There's been no kick about either cut or form at Tybee. I just spose our ladies show to better advantage than those in Wilmington." Mayor Dixon made a strong plea for the one-piece suit for women, urging that they afford the ladies more real pleasure in the surf than the old style skirts and are much safer. WILMINGTON, N. C.—Drastic legislation against immodest bathing suits has been enacted by the Wrightsville Beach board of aldermen, following registration of complaints.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE IS SOLD FOR HIGH PRICE NEW CITY, Ill.—An angel food cake sold for $57.50 during a Red Cross auction sale here. It was dedicated by the maker to "our boys over there," and was decorated with a small American flag and a card for each soldier drafted and enlisted from the township. HIS MOTHER I gave him cheerfully, as I would give a prayer In offering to God. I smiled and patted him, And stroked the soft brown of his hair, Although my eyes were dim. I made him know that I was very proud; That, in the spirit, I, too, went along. And if, at parting time, my head was bowed, He felt my heart held martial song. And now—now that the first grim shock is of the past, A great peace comes to be a living part of me. I see the sweetest side at last— The holier decree. He is not wholly gone—some part of him Is always here—the Mother-boy of Peace, He is his room—his books and clothing and his bed: He is the very memory of yesterday. The songs he sang—the words he said— His moods of work and play. I walk with him and talk with him, although His other self is at his country's side. My two dear boys—I proudly see one go, If but the other here abide. 5 CENTS A COPY; $2 A YEAR A CLEAR CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY (Special to The Tribune.) NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—For drawing the color line, thereby violating the new Civil Rights Act, the managers of the New York Exposition, conducted at East 177th street, The Bronx, are facing a number of damage suits. One of the probable plaintiffs is Police Officer Rhodes, who had an unusual experience at this summer resort. Several evenings ago Police Officer Rhodes, being off duty, decided to try and forget the heat by visiting the New York Exposition, which advertises sea water bathing, dancing, exhibits and entertainments. When the colored member of the New York Police force sought to purchase a ticket he was informed that no colored persons were wanted. So insistent did he become in his efforts to gain admittance that a white police officer was called and told to arrest the intruder. Rhodes was in citizen's clothes and unknown to his brother officer. He did not reveal his identity until the station house was reached. Rhodes was promptly recognized at the station house and immediately given his release. The officer who arrested him acted as if he had been struck by a grenade and offered all kinds of apologies. In the meantime, the managers of the New York Exposition are trying to show the colored officer that a great mistake had been made. Rhodes says he thinks judge and jury will agree with the managers that a big mistake has been made and that someone will hwile to pay dearly for making it. THE NEGRO SOLDIER When you speak of the negro soldier, It makes the blood run fast. His cool, courageous record lives In all wars of the past. When our country is in danger He is the first to volunteer; He thinks of naught but the country's call. Would that all men were as loyal As the abused and humble black, Who is as true as steel in time of need, Though often he is kept back. When we are at war he does not stop To think of the many wrongs. But takes his place with smiling face In the ranks with our fighting throngs. He feels that God is with him When he goes into the fight. And hopes that He who rules the world Will some day make things right. You may talk about your heroes And the deeds of valor done; But there is none more worthy of our praise Than America's Negro son. When a man has bee nmistreated And then goes forth to fight For those who have cruelly wronged him, He is game—be he black or white. If black troops get a fighting chance— And pray God that they will— They'll march right into Berlin Like they did up San Juan hill. All honor to the Negro soldier, May victory his portion be, All hail the mistreated hero Who is fighting for you and me. When this great war is ended, And the dove of peace draws nigh, We will all share in Democracy Or know the reason why. BRINGING HOME THE BACON In the vernacular of the street, our boys "over there" will ltake a prominent part in "bringing home the bacon." Advance reports indicate that they are doing their bit and then some. General Pershing is not ashamed to let the world know that in the black troops he has not only the most loyal, but some of the best fighting machinery in the whole army. Already in little spurts they have won distinction and emblems that give mute evidence of their bravery. After the battles to come, wherever they are staged, when the smoke has cleared away it will be said of them, "the black troops fought nobly."

NEGRO SOLVING HIS OWN PROBLEM man does not understand the Negro," says the Negro stories recently published. Continuing is the great unexplored mystery, the unkno the Negro knows all about the white man it is in his brains; what he is thinking about goes into the white man's house, hears no white man knows what he thinks.

"The white man does not understand the Negro," says Dr. Means, author of a book of Negro stories recently published. Continuing he says: "The Uegro is the great unexplored mystery, the unknown quantity. On the other hand, the Negro knows all about the white man—what is in his pockets and what is in his brains; what he is thinking about. "The Negro goes into the white man's house, hears all, sees all, says nothing, thinks—no white man knows what he thinks. The white man rarely goes into a Negro church or home, does not know how he lives or what he talks about. "The Negro is the great unexplored mystery, the unknown quantity. On with his folk lore and jungle tales, no longer exists; the Negro of the reconstruction days who was feared as a menace, is no longer to be considered as such; the Negro, as we know him today, will not be in existence in a few years; the black man is solving his own problem."

The Negro soldiers are fighting shoulder to shoulder with the white soldiers over in France and with just as much courage and skill.

It should be encouraging to the mothers, sisters and wives who are left behind, to know that their loved ones are being treated as American soldiers and not discriminated against because of their color. This is real Democracy—Democracy that is worth fighting for. If we shall heed the President's advice and see to it that the mothers and wives of these fighting boys are not lynched, the whole thing will be indeed glorious.

Today is all right if you treat it right. There is nothing so good that it could not be bettered. It all depends on you. If you can't look back along the road to yesterday with a smile, don't look. Forget it. But if you have a weak character and just must look back upon the might-have-been, pull off to the side of the road and keep the tail light on your flivver lit, so the many happy hearted six-cylinder folks who are on good terms with themselves and are really going some place, don't bump you off the road. A Y. M. C. A. for Phoenix or burst. We need it and we must have it. An Iowa judge was telling stories in a hotel lobby, and he related an amusing incident that had occurred in his court when a colored man was brought up for some petty offense. The charge was read, and as the statement, "The State of Iowa against John Jones," was read in a loud voice, the colored man's eyes bulged nearly out of their sockets, and he seemed perfectly overcome with terror and astonishment. When he was asked if he had anything to say, or pleaded guilty or not guilty, he gasped out: "Well, yo' honoh, ef de whole state ob Iowa am again his one por niggh, I's gwine ter gib up right now." TODAY Mrs. J. Miller returned last week from a delightful vacation spent at Flagstaff. She intended to go to the coast, but owing to the flood here she was forced to return home. Mose Davis says he feels an awful draft coming. We can see it. Mrs. Parker of Tempe arrived in camp last Tuesday and is spending a few days with her daughter, Mrs. Frank Smith. Mose Davis received a letter from Mr. McKelvey who left here a short time ago to visit relatives in Waco, Texas. He says he will be back in Ray soon—very soon. Mrs. Cassie Cobb returned last week from Prescott where she has been spending a pleasant vacation. The children are all getting ready for school which opens on the 9th of September. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harris and Mr. Ruben Reed motored to Hayden last Sunday. The Harris' went to visit Mrs. Clark and took the old "hero" along for an airing. Abe Buford, A. Smith and Mose Davies motored to Hayden last Sunday in Abe's Maxwell. They left Hayden about 11 p. m. and they were singing: "We Won't Go Home Until Morning," when bang! went a tire. It was fixed, then bang! went another. They got home at 4 a. m. Lucky devils. * DOUGLAS, ARIZONA * Rev. Edw. Jones, Representative * It is needless for me to pass any compliments on the Tribune as every one appreciates it so much. You may send me 35 more copies of this week's issue. By this you can see the paper is in great demand in Douglas. Master George James will deliver the Tribune to our readers every Saturday. He says they are all glad to see him coming for they know he brings the news. Mr. T. U. Branch and Miss Bessie Perry of Phoenix are visiting in the city. They are former residents of Douglas and received a cordial welcome from their many friends here. Mr. Branch has accepted a lucrative position at the Elks Club. We hope he has come to stay. Mrs. Carrie McAllister, wife of Mr. T. O. McAllister, who left Douglas in April to be at the bedside of her sister who was ill in Kansas City, and who arrived just a few hours before death came to her dear one, has returned to Douglas. She spent about three months with her husband's relatives in Kansas. Everybody says she certainly looks fine. I myself, think she really does look grand. Rev. Edward Jones, sister Nettie Branch and Mrs. Ruth Day, were called to see Mr. Phoenix, who was very ill. The sick man sent word to Rev. Jones that he wanted to join the Baptist church. When the pastor arrived with his assistant to comply with the request of the sick man, he changed his mind. Scripture was read to him followed by a prayer for the poor man and Rev. Jones made him good-bye. Your last chance to get the Phoenix Tribune one whole year for $1.75. Mrs. Gertrude Jones, wife of Rev. Major Jones of Ajo, Arizona, is visiting Rev. and Mrs. Edward Jones of this city. Rev. Edw. Jones received a letter from his brother, Hamp Jones, who is enlisted in the army and is now in the base hospital at Ft. Riley, Kans. He asked the prayers of his brothers. There are two more brothers in the army "somewhere in France." KEEP THE BALL ROLLING—Pansy Smith and Dissie Buds, two Negro women, who have the habit and custom of having white soldiers for their associates, were driven out of the city last night. These women have been a regular nuisance to the city officials and a disgrace to the race. They have paid fine after fine and worried the citizens so much, until it was decided that the only way to rid the city of their presence was to drive them out of the city. I hope the readers of this paper will keep their eyes open and wherever they stop, within the bounds of the Tribune readers, give them a send off. KEEP THE BALL ROLLING. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson are here from Boulder, Colorado. The writer is a former resident of Boulder, having preached in that city when only a licensed minister. We are indeed glad to meet Mr. and Mrs. Gibson and hear from the good people of Colorado. We hope they are here to stay for they are such excellent church workers. Rev. Z. Z. Johnson, presiding elder of the C. M. E. church, spent a few hours in Douglas last week. He only stayed long enough to get a copy of the Triblune and to shake hands with Rev. Cook and the writer. He left for El Paso where he expects to meet Bishop Phillips in a few days. He will go over some very important business matters with the Bishop and then he will return to Douglas some time next week. Rev. Cook, pastor of the C. M. E. church here will leave Friday for El Paso where he has been called to meet his Bishop. Rev. Cook said: "When I am out of town, Rev. Jones is supposed to look after my sheep." Rev. P. M. Rickman, pastor of the A. M. E. church, is getting ready to bid farewell to Douglas. He will preach Sunday night at the Baptist church. Rev. Jones, pastor of the Baptist church, wants all strangers and visitors in the city to know that there will be services at the church every Sunday and midweek prayer meeting. Sunday school, 10 a. m.; preaching, 11 a. m. and 8 p. m.; Home Mission society at 6 p. m. Everybody welcome to attend these services. Come early. August 31, the price of The Tribune will be 2 a year. Subscribe NOW. (Steve Howard, Representative) Sorry we have so little news this week, but your representative has been on the sick list and had to visit Dr. W. C. Hackett in Phoenix the first part of the week. On last Sunday the Sunday school was at its highest notch with our worthy superintendent brother Wm. The evening services were conducted by Brother Lewis and all had a glorious time. We are expecting Rev. J. B. Bell, the State missionary to be with us on next Sunday, August 25th. Everybody come out and hear him. Two automobile loads of visitors from Ray were in Hayden Sunday. Those in the party were: Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Harris, Mr. Mose Davis, Mr. Anthony Smith, Mr. Abe Butord and Mr. Ruben Reed. They had an enjoyable time as the ladies of Hayden always make it pleasant for visitors. They showed them the sights of our little town and bade them come again soon, for Ray visitors are always welcome in Hayden. TUCSON, ARIZONA Rev. S. E. Newell, Representative An unusually large cvrowd attended the services at the A. M. E. church Sunday evening, when the presiding elder, Rev. Allen, held his fourth and last quarterly meeting before the Annual Conference. At the close of services, four were recieved into the church by Rev. Allen. Never before in the history of Tucson were there three deaths in one week among our people. Mr. Jerry Savage passed away about the middle of the week; on Saturday night a Mr. Cooper from Waco, Texas, who had been lingering for some time, heard the call of the Master's voice and passed into the great beyond. The third was Mr. Charles Phillips, an old-timer of Tucson who, after about three days' illness, died in the St. Mary's hospital Sunday night. Some are dying and some are getting married. Mrs. Thomas Long and Miss Thelma Graves were joined together in holy wedlock by the Rev. W. E. Washington, pastor of the A. M. E. church, on last Saturday evening, August 17, at the home of the bride, 297 North Court street. Mrs. William T. Wilson and her daughter, Miss Minnie B. Wilson, are comfortably settled in their new quarters, corner Tenth avenue and Third street. We are all delighted to see how Miss Wilson's health seems to be improving. She and her mother are here from Washington, D. C. Miss Wilson will soon be able to say: "Home was nothing like this." The members and patrons of the Mt. Calvary Baptist church are still engaging in their usual big spiritual services each Sunday morning and evening. The pastor preached a strong sermon last Sunday morning. Subject: "The Badge of Discipleship." He took for a text the words of Christ, as found in the 15th chapter of St. John, 12th verse: "This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you." At the close of the sermon, when almost everybody in the audience was weeping and shouting, the pastor came down from the platform and sang: "Father, I stretch my hands to thee, no other help I know." In the midst of great rejoicing we received into the church a Mrs. Allen, formerly of Globe. The Sunday school is still doing a great work under the leadership of Brother Lee Keys, the superintendent. The B. Y. P. U. is being led to a great success by its president, Sister Fannie Robinson. Through the efforts of Mrs. Mamie Wuburn and Mrs. E. B. Tidderington, the colored women of Tucson are now being given a very creditable place to do Red Cross work with the other races of the city. More than half a hundred were atwork at the Armory hall last Monday afternoon, sewing for the "soldier boys." Rev. S. F. Newell will leave Tucson Wadnesday, August 21, for Miami, where he will assist Rev. W. F. Watkins in perfecting a Missionary Baptist church. He will then proceed to St. Louis, Mo., to attend the National Baptist convention. The Home Missionary Circle is doing nicely. Its president, Mrs. Johnson, seems to have the real missionary spirit and the ladies are falling in line with her. We are indeed glad to have Mrs. Annie Clemens of Phoenix with us. She is a former resident of Tucson and an active member of Mt. Calvary Baptist church. The colored churches and fraternal societies of Jackson, Tenn., are planning to have an elaborate patriotic demonstration August 29, to continue three days. Speakers of national renown will be on hand, and a strenuous effort will be made to raise $5,000 for war purposes. A big parade is to be an outstanding feature of the occasion, and it is expected that 25,000 marchers will itake part. The affair is under the management of a local committee, headed by R. Flippin. The appointment of Lieut. Russell Smith, detailed in charge of the second battalion, Student Army Training Camp, Howard University, is the first time in the history of the United States Army when a colored officer has been placed in charge as commanding officer of a training camp. In the Third Senatorial district of Illinois, the following negroes are aspirants for a seat in the legislature from the Second ward: A. H. Roberts, W. G. Anderson, Warren Douglas, James Simms and W.

Saturday, August 24, 1918 BISBEE, ARIZONA (Miss Myrtle Threat, Representative) Mr. Allen Saunders left last week for Nashville, Tenn., where he will take up the position of Secretary to the colored Y. M. C. A. Last Friday evening a social was given at the Booker T. Washington school. The first part of the evening was spent in listening to music on the new Grafanola by some of our great colored musicianns. Ice cream was served, the proceeds from this sale to be used to buy new records. Mr. Earnest Scott of Galveston, Texas, is spending a few months with his father, Mr. S. Scott of Lowell. Mr. and Mrs. Walker of Williams, Arizona, are the guests this week of Mrs. Walker's sister, Mrs. H. E. Thomas Another "Sunbeam" has come into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Flemings in the form of an 11-pound boy, this week. The proud father does not neglect an opportunity to tell everyone about this great boy. Having spent a very pleasant week in Bisbee, the guests of Mrs. R. J. Walker, Mrs. A. Smith and Miss A. Smith will return to their home in Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The people of Bisbee are very proud of the Phoenix Tribune. The repre sentative here experiences no difficulty in disposing of every copy of the paper. The people have always wanted a means of knowing about their friends in the different parts of the state. Now that the Tribune has made it possible for them to know what their friends are doing in the various parts of the state, they are rallying to the support of this worthy journal. The Tenth Cavalry regimental picnic will be given on September 2. Mr. Paul Schadle of El Paso arrived in our city last week and immediately secured a position at the C. & A. hospital. The Tribune one whole year for $1.75. Subscribe now. Messrs. Grant Nevels and Benj. Owens, who left Bisbee in the last selection of colored boys for the National Army in Camp Lewis, Wash., say they like it. The Cochise county boys are all well and the two named have been promoted to corporals. August 31 The Tribune will be $2 a year. You'll have to hurry. Mr. Theodore Coleman of Miami is a race man who is making a headway in the business world. He has an excellent position and commands a big salary. He owns a Hudson Super-six, several furnished houses for rental purposes and has an enviable bank account. He is very much interested in the public school. He is a trustee of the A. M. E. church in Miami and a man who is very much interested in the welfare of his race generally. Besides his own interests he finds time to assist others in looking after their interests. Mr. Coleman is highly respected by all who know him. He possesses a quiet, unassuming disposition. He does not make much noise, but to the close observer he can be seen "going over the top" in real estate. Be sure to watch the Who's Who column from this section. It's inspiring. Gleanings from Globe-Miami A certain lady in Miami called on the representative of the Tribune saying: "I saw in the Tribune that Miss — is in this district. Now I partly raised this girl and I would like to know if it is true that she is here and if so, where?" We assured her that if she saw it in the Tribune, it was true and proceeded to give her the desired information. She located the girl. Moral: Read the Tribune and you too may be able to locate a lost friend or relative. It's worth a nickel of anybody's money. Rev. S. E. Newell of Tucson will be back in Miami soon to assist Rev. W. F. Watkins in another series of meetings beginning August 22, and lasting ten days. The distance between Globe and Miami is seven miles and the two cities are connected with a beautiful concrete paved road. Several accidents have occurred recently because of reckless driving. Only recently a Sunday picnic was returning to Mi- ami. The party was composed of about 50 little girls and they were sitting on a big lumber truck with their legs hanging over the side of the truck. Along came one of those reckless fiends, drove his car close to the truck and broke several of the children's legs and ankles and otherwise bruised and maimed them. Again on last Thursday a man driving a Cole 8, thought to break the record between Globe and Miami. He lost control of his car and failed to negotiate a curve and crashed into the beautiful fence along the road. The force of the car tore up two 4x6 posts, smashing them into splinters; a 2x6 was thrust clear through the man's body and in order to remove him from the car, this 2x6 had to be sawed in two. He died while they were sawing the board. Rev. Allen, presiding elder of the Albuquerque district A. M. E. church, was a Miami visitor during the week. He held his quarterly meeting while here. Mr. Frank Hill has opened a barber shop in Miami for our people. There will be a Labor Day picnic at Wheatfields on September 1, and the big busses will leave Globe and Miami promptly at 9:30 a.m. The fare will be $1.00 for the round trip. For further information address Box 103, Miami, Ariz., and Box 2127, Globe, Ariz. W. E. Coleman, Mgr. —Advt. Every good thing has it's knocker but we too have the boosters. Boosting the Phoenix Tribune is our pet hobby. It's well worth boosting. Speaking of honesty, one day last week one of the local papers in Globe carried an ad, which stated that a white lady, clerk in a certain office, had lost her purse containing a good amount of money. The ad went on to say that the loser hoped some honest person would find the purse and return it as the party who lost the purse was a poor woman. The next day a colored lady walked into the office and turned over the purse to the owner. The entire contents were intact. She was offered a portion of the money, but refused it. She was then asked her name, but declined to give that even. It was none other than our own Mrs. Susie Durr of Globe. Mr. James Roberts of Globe, our popular painter and decorator, has just refused a contract at $7.25 a day for several months' work at his trade. Mr. Roberts says he makes more money than that and has all the work he can do. Yes, there is room for more of our men with trades in this district. The representative met Mr. H. Stewart on last Monday and he began to give us a good tongue lashing. He wanted to know why we didn't leave his Tribune at his home as usual. He was informed that his paper was delivered as usual. It was, found, upon investigation that friend wife had mislaid the paper. Mr. Stewart then offered apologies and added: "I must have my Tribune, because I want to see what is going on among our people in Arizona." Another reason why the Tribune is popular. Mrs. S. L. White and niece moved over to Miami from Globe during the past week. She will keep house for her uncle, Mr. A. Graves is an employee of the Miami mines. Mrs. S. M. Watkins received a letter from her son, Mr. A. Watkins of Los Angeles, stating that he is very ill and must undergo an operation. The residents of Globe were shocked when they learned of the death of Mrs. L. A. Williams of Douglas. She has a host of friends in this district who will mourn her loss. She set up the Eastern Star Chapter here. Mrs. S. M. Watkins of Globe is spending a few days in the country, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Coleman on their ranch near Wheatfields. Mrs. Susie Durr of Globe is spending a vacation in Phoenix. Mr. J. Sneed entertained the ladies of St. John Missionary Circle on last Friday evening. Everyone present had a nice time. Rev. Loudon of El Paso will assist Rev. S. E. Newell and Rev. W. F. Watkins in conducting a series of meetings in Miami for the next ten days. Miss Allie Wooden, who has been visiting relatives in Miami the past month, left this week for Prairie View State Normal and Industrial Institute, where she will complete a normal course. Rev. J. A. Wright of Phoenix arrived in Globe on Saturday. He is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Eddie Kidd. E 1551 FURNITURE COMPANY FURNISHINGS P EQUIPMENT BOUGHT SOLD OR EXCHANGED Phoenix, Arizona. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Rev. James Robinson is a recent arrival in Ajo from Bisbee. He has decided to make this his home, as he likes the place so well. The weather here has been ideal and Rev. Robinson was at once impressed with it. We are always glad to have good people come to visit our city. Welcome to our city, Brother Robinson. The Phoenix Tribune gave the Chicago Defender a "knockout" blow last week. Send me 18 copies instead of 12. The people here are just crazy about their paper. The People's Forum meets every Friday evening and is always well attended. Anyone desiring to locate in Ajo or wanting information about the town, write Rev. M. Jones, box 161. The Forum leads. Other organizations follow. The people of Ajo are certainly progressing in church work. Both the Sunday and mid-week services are well well attended. The sinner as well as the saint attends all services. To the sinner we want to say, keep it up. It is as easy to get a job in Ajo as it is to prove that the colored man is no slacker. SEEN AND HEARD IN PRESCOTT By Helen Harper Vance Through a typographical error, the names of Mrs. Suddoth, Mrs. Connor, Mrs. Brock and Mrs. Scott were omitted from the guest list of Mrs. Young's party, published in last week's issue. Mrs. Thomas Rose is seriously ill at her home in South Montezuma street. Mrs. Annette Burkhardt of Winslow is expected to arrive next week in Prescott and, should this climate be agreeable to her health, will probably reside here during the winter months. Mrs. Emma Garret of the Bannie mine spent the week in town, motoring back with her husband. Mr. Farlice, who is recovering from an operation, is now able to spend his afternoons in a big chair on the porch. The doctor's reports are encouraging The Whist Club was entertained last Wednesday by Mrs. Thomas King, who served a delightfully different luncheon, followed by a meeting later with Mrs. William Young as hostess at a dinner par excellence. The first political dance among the colored citizens of Prescott was given at Thumb Butte Hall, Friday night. Ice cream and punch were served to the numerous dancers. The Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's clubs is planning a grand reception in honor of out-of-town visitors and the colored soldiers invalided at Fort Whipple. The time is August 29, the place is Odd Fellows' hall. Don't forget. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hines have returned from a motor trip to Jerome. Sergeant Bailey, Private Otis Addey, and several other boys at Fort Whipple have been put in class A and were in town several times last week. Mr. B. Banks of Suddoth's Shoe Shop is in Phoenix this week on business. Mr. Paris Tabron made a flying trip to the Junction last week. Mr. Charles Carter of Phoenix is a recent arrival and is visiting his wife, who is the house guest of Mrs. Paul Connor. Senator Fred T. Colter, Democratic candidate before the primaries for governor, refuses absolutely to enter into a war of mud-slinging, muck-raking or personal vilification. The senator's high record is too clean for anyone to believe he would indulge in methods that disparage others, either directly, indirectly or by innuendo. Senator Colter's career as a man of affairs as well as a legislator of Arizona is an open book, and if any Democratic voters should fail to vote for him because they have not learned his true history and have been misled by false statements, it is regrettable. His strong fight in the Constitutiona Convention and State Senate shows clearly his attitude towards those interests that seek to avoid paying a just share and proportion of taxes. His strong leadership in procuring Woman's Suffrage, prohibition and other moral legislation; his attitude and successful work as a legislator towards the reclamation of arid lands; the building of roads, bridges and highways; all show him to be a man for the people—for all the people. The vast amount of money being spent by the Copper Corporations to defeat Senator Colter is but an evidence of how soulless are those corporations. Money is their God, and they worship Mammon as did Ahab or old, and as Ahab was full of wrath against Elijah, so are these copperized magnates and their satellites full of wrath against Colter. "And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered: "I have not troubled Israel; but thou and thy father's house in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim." And as the Lord did unto the prophets of Baal, so will He do unto these selfish Interests that would place the heavy burden of tax paying upon the poor classes. Speaking a la General Foch, we would say: "THEY SHALL NOT PASS." Hurrah for Democracy! Hvrah for Fred T. Colter, our coming Governor.—Stockman-Farmer. (Advertisement.)

Bowen of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., one of the race's ablest speakers, addressed a monster patriotic meeting recently at Wadesboro, N. C., with more than 6,000 persons in attendance from Anson and adjoining counties. Dr Bowen was introduced by Hon. L. P. Robinson, member of congress from the Wadesboro district. He pointed out in a luminous manner the duty of the race in support of the war policies of the government and urged the people to respond cheerfully to the call to the colors, to buy Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps, to contribute generously to the funds for the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., and to engage heartily in all of the activities designed to aid the nation in the winning of the war. Dr. Bowen spoke to another large gathering at Hickory, N.

McARTHUR BROS. Used Car Department Corner Central Avenue and Jefferson Street Surgeon-General Gorgas of the United States army has called for the enrollment of 8,000 graduate nurses to enter the service at the rate of 2,000 a week. Says he: "The American Army is growing faster than the Nurse Corps is increasing. I therefore urge upon the Red Cross, through its agencies, to bring to the attention of the trained nurses of this country the necessity o f immediate offer of service and their enrollment in the Army Nurse Corps." With the rapid increase of colored troops in the army, the necessity of larger numbers of colored nurses will be apparent. Women who desire to register and enroll for this service should write to Miss Jane Delano, Headquarters of The American Red Cross (Army Nurse Section), or apply to the Red Cross authorite sin the locality in which they reside. The Negro Auxiliary of the Knox County Chapter of the American Red Cross Society of Knoxville, Tenn., is going excellent work, with Mrs. J. G. Robinson as president. At a recent patriotic celebration, Mayor John E. McMillan spoke and helpful addresses were delivered by Editor W. L. Porter of the East Tennessee News; Professor C. W. Cansler, Hon. W. F. Yardley, Dr. J. H. Henderson, Rev. L. St. George McCallum, and others of like prominence. Richard D. Stinson, principal Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute for training colored youths, is on a trip through the west with headquarters at Chicago in 'the interest of his work. In St. Louis, Mo., colored women are taking the place of men as bell boys, elevator boys and laborers in lumber yards, due to the scarcity of male help. COBB WITHDRAWS IN FAVOR OF OSBORN Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 23.—Lamar Cobb, former state engineer, has withdrawn from the governorship race in favor of Sidney P. Osborn, secretary of state. Cobb's withdrawal from the race was announced this week in the following letter: "Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 22, 1918. "To the Arizona Gazette, "Phoenix, Arizona "Mr. Editor: I desire to announce to the public and especially to those most loyal friends who have been supporting me in the contest for the Democratic nomination for governor that I am not financially able to place my candidacy before the people in such manner as would warrant asking them to continue their support. Therefore, in justice to them with assurances of my most sincere appreciation for their efforts in my behalf, I withdraw from the contest that they may lend their assistance to such candidate as may have a better chance of winning than I. I hope that the fight I have been making may have some small influence in elevating the standard of political affairs of our great state of Arizona. "Believing that the interest of the whole people of Arizona will be served best by the nomination of Sidney P. Osborn, I intend to cast my vote for him. Cobb is the second candidate to withdraw from the race and to endorse the candidacy of Osborn. W. A. Moeur, state land commissioner, announced his withdrawal last week, and declared he would give his undivided support to the secretary of state in his campaign for the governorship. The withdrawal of Cobb leaves but three candidates in the race for the Democratic nomination. —Adv. SEE H. H.

Run Down by Auto — On Monday afternoon about 5 o'clock, while returning to his work at the state house, Mr. T. L. Sylvester was run down by a delivery truck belonging to the Dorris Furniture Company. Mr. Sylvester was riding a bicycle and he says the driver of the delivery truck violated the traffic ordinance and deliberately ran into him. He suffered a slight displacement of the left shoulder and a few minor bruises. He was taken to his room at the De Luxe Hotel, 27 So. 2nd St. He was resting easily at last reports.

McCutcheon's birthday. Those who composed the party were: Mr. and Mrs. P. F. McCutcheon, Mr. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Washington. They motored to the Hole-in-the-Rock and spent the afternoon taking snap shots of the cactus and mountains. Mrs. Washington had prepared a very appetizing lunch and after enjoying the mountain scenery, all repaired to a shady nook and devoured the many good things that had been prepared. Two prizes were offered for the two nearest guesses to Mrs. McCutcheon's age. Mr. W. W. Washington won both prizes as he proved the champion guesser. The whole affair was a complete surprise to Mrs. McCutcheon and she enjoyed it so much that she feels indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Washington for their genial hospitality. Horrible Accident— Last Friday morning about 5 o'clock, Mr. Willie Van, an engine watcher, employed by the Arizona Eastern, fell from the front of the engine where he was standing and was dragged several feet before the engine was brought to a stop. When he was extricated from beneath the engine he was found to have suffered several bad cuts about the face and head, a dislocated hip, right leg broken above the knee and left foot ground to a pulp. The foot was amputated and his other injuries were attended to. It was also discovered that his right arm was broken above the elbow and it may be necessary to amputate that member. He is being attended by Dr. W. C. Hackett and everything possible is being done to save his life. Reports from the hospital where he is a patient say he is resting easily. Today and tomorrow, a free picture to you at Mason's Pharmacy. —Advt. Mrs. Morris Improving— The condition of Mrs. Anna Morris who suffered a fractured knee last week, is much improved. She is able to walk around on crutches and says she is feeling fine. Visiting Parents— Little Bennie James was home last week. He came in to celebrate his birthday which was on the 16th inst.

The head of the Indian which appears on one side of our pennies, coined before the recent Lincoln penny made its appearance, is in memory of Pocahontas, the Indian princess of Virginia, that famous historical character who saved John Smith's life. If you wish to visit the highest city in the world, you must travel to Pasco, Foru, South America, which is 13,673 feet above the level of the ocean --- One of the oldest trees known was the great elm called "The Treaty Tree," which stood for 283 years at the intersection of Hanover and Beach streets, Kensington, Pa., and under which William Penn made his famous treaty with the Indians. In 1810 it was blown down, and from its wood many workstands, chairs, vases and other souvenirs have been made. We learned recently that our American soldiers abroad do not like to be called "Sammies," the nickname given them by the French soldiers, but much prefer to be called "Buddies" or "Yanks." We have a guilty feeling that we have called them "Sammies" on various occasions, and we herewith humbly apologize and promise that we won't do it again. It seems strange to us to think of a man being flogged for kissing his wife, but during the early days of Puritanism in Massachusetts, a sea captain, just returned from a long voyage, was given a public flogging for kissing his wife in the street, where she had come to meet him, the statute law declaring legal such a punishment for this open demonstration of affection. During the first 17 days of May the sale of War Savings Stamps averaged about two million dollars a day. Just figure out how many quarters that means. There's a curious old legend which says that the blackbird was, originally, not black at all, but white. Once upon a time, ever so long ago, the story runs, three days of the year, January 30, 31 and February 1, were so cold that the poor bird had to take refuge in a chimney. When it came out it was black—probably from the soot—and black it has been from that day to this. Near the town of Brescia, Italy, those three days are called "the blackbird's days." COLORED WOMEN ARE DOING THEIR BIT The colored women are doing their part and in various ways. First of all, they are the main stay of our churches. They toll for meager wages and at astonishing sacrifices help to support our churches, for often this is the only real enjoyment in their busy lives. This may sound strange, country, and the press and people of this land will give you every encouragement. I do not mean that every man, woman and child shall receive a college education, any more than any other race, but those who are capable should attain this, and a general movement must be made to improve the industrial condition of those who are not able to secure the college education. For instance, take the man who is a laborer, or the boy who may expect to follow the industrial line; teach him that whatever he does to do it well and to make of himself or herself an efficient citizen. "This can not be done with all in a few years—it will take time, but with this aim uppermost in the minds of the thinkers among the colored race, and a life of self-sacrifice on the part of many to the cause, the ultimate result will follow. "We have ample illustration of the loyalty of the negro in the ranks of our army; he has fought, bled and died on the field of battle, that the principles of democracy shall be maintained. At San Juan hill, in the Spanish-American war, he faced the bayonet without a flinch, and today in the trenches he stands shoulder to shoulder with men of every allied nation—his thoughts of home, wife and mother or sweetheart are just as sweet as those of any other man, and when his torn and wounded body lies on the shell-pitted field of No Man's Land, God will look down on him with the same grace as that of any other soul; when his life has ebbed away or to those who may come back with the laurels of victory on their brow, the time-honored expression, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant,' will be yours to have and feel. "Soldiers at the front, have courage, for at home the women of your race are doing their bit, and more, too, for I know in San Jose of a poor colored woman who has not as yet paid for the little home she owns, but when the call came to buy Liberty bonds, she went to the chairman of the committee, who knew her financial condition, and he told her she could hardly afford it, but did she falter? No, sir! She answered promptly and said: 'I know I am in debt, but I fell as though I must take a $50 bond.' She subscribed for it and today is washing and working at any thing honorable that presents itself to pay for that bond. That dear soul has a heart as big as an ax and she is depriving herself that she may help Uncle Sam raise the money to keep the boys in the trenches or wherever they may be, with the comforts and necessities that shall give them courage and birng glory and honor to the allied cause. She does not think of color or race; victory for our soldiers is in our hearts and it will come back, boys, to all of us alike. "Since the federal government is now taking over much, and as Uncle Sam's shoulders are broad, let us see that mob violence shall never again be practiced on any race under the Stars and Stripes, and let us so arrange that in the future such crimes as may need drastic attention will be taken over by the federal government, that the federal courts may deal with each to the satisfaction of all the people. "To the colored people, let me say: 'Look up, not down; keep your face forward, eyes front, to the betterment of your people; let each do his bit and do it cheerfully, wherever or whenever he or she_may find it to do; life is short at its best, and the end has come, if you can say at the conclusion, 'I have done my best; I have tried to help some poor soul on to a better and nobler life; I have lived the religion of the brotherhood \of man, with my personal creed,' then you will have done your duty to yourself, your country and your people.'" but it is nevertheless true, the worthwhile Negro is usually found about the church. Hence, if the colored woman is helping to build better churches, she is rendering the greatest possible service to her race. There is interest in their church life. But not only are they interested in their church life which is the foundation of civilization, they are buying War Savings Stamps, Liberty Bonds taking part in the Red Cross activities and the like. Just a few weeks ago the first colored woman was admitted as a trained nurse in the war work, although they had been repeatedly turned down. But they kept up the fight, and now hundreds of colored women will soon be in the base hospitals at various camps in this country and also in the fighting zone across the sea.
