JUSTICE FOR NEGRO AFTER WAR==MAYBE Tennessee Officers Use Brutal Method To Secure Confession VOL. 1. NO. 24 JUSTICE Tennessee AN INNOCENT NEGRO IS SHOT BY CRUEL TENNESSEE OFFICERS (Special to the Phoenix Tribune.) KNOXVILLE, Tenn., August 28.—Georgia lynch law tactics were adopted by Constable O. S. Gaines of Knox county district, and his son, McKinley Gaines; John Burchfield and Will Howell, all white men, when Sam Netherland, an ignorant and harmless negro, was arrested by the constable last Sunday morning and taken to a point ten miles east of Knoxville and hung to a tree until life was almost extinct, and then cut down and shot through the shoulder. This brutal and inhuman treatment was accorded Netherland, familiarly known in the Bowery district as "Sleepy Sam," by these savages in an effort to secure a confession as to who stole a five-gallon keg of whisky that had been hid in the bushes near McMillian Station. Netherland told the following story concerning the affair to a newspaper reporter. "Constable O. S. Gaines and his son, McKinley Gaines, John Burchfield and Will Howell, two other white men, arrested me early Sunday morning telling me that some one had stolen a keg of whisky from its hiding place near McMillian Station. Although they did not produce a warrant, they hauled me about in their automobile, looking for others who they suspicioned had taken the whisky. They arrested two other colored men who drive taxicabs about the city and took them before Esquire Dobson and procured warrants for them, and they then decided to take me to the Mascot jail, which is thirteen miles from Knoxville. They drove at a rapid rate to the woods near Mascot and then got out of the automobile, handcuffed me and pulled out their pistols and told me I would have to tell who got the whisky. I repeatedly told them that I didn't know anything about it, and each time I denied having any knowledge of the whisky they would curse me and punch me with their pistols. At times they would stick the barrel of their pistol in my mouth and command me to chew it. They sent to a barn and procured a rope, and, coming back, they sat down and each one practiced tying a hangman's knot. They finally put the rope around my neck, pulled me up and there I hung until I was unconscious. After they let me down, John Burchfield actually took a 41 derringer type pistol, aimed at my left breast and fired. I only turned my body in time to keep the bullet from piercing my heart. The bullet struck me in the shoulder. After treating me in this manner, they left me and Mr. Tom Cox, a white man, came along and gave me money to catch a train and come to Knoxville." The above story causes a chill to run through the body of every law abiding citizen of this section. Although there is a law in Tennessee against the transportation of liquor in the state, this officer of the law had knowledge of whisky being in the district, and when it was stolen, possibly by some member of the drunken bunch that administered the inhuman treatment to Sam Netherland, the innocent and harmless negro, they employed these lynch law methods in an effort to secure a confession or some information as to where their whisky was. Warrants were procured for each of the men and Burchfield was arrested at Sevierville, having fled to that section following his action on Sunday, and the other three men, Gaines, his son, and Howell, were arrested at their homes by Constable N. S. Simpson. They are charged in the warrants, which were procured before Esquire William Sellers, with felonious assault. The case is being investigated by the grand jury. Attorneys W. F. Yardley and George McDade, Jr., are representing Sam Netherland. FRED SUTTER, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IS A SELF MADE MAN A Record of the Man Who Seeks the Highest Office in the State, as Told by His Fellow Citizens Who Have Known Him for More Than 24 Years. early 90s. He was a green boy from the farms of Nebraska, where he had tilled the fields and followed the plow on his father's acreage. He had youth and ambition as his only assets, and in his heart was a longing for knowledge. He was the son of a sturdy backwoodsman and he had the strength of body and mind born of active out-of-doors life. He made good. From the green farmer boy he has developed into one of the best known attorneys in Arizona. He has "delivered the goods" for himself; now, he seeks to serve the state. He has asked the support of the good democrats of Arizona in his candidacy for the democratic nomination as governor. The story of his life reads as fiction—it is the story of temptations overcome, opportunities made and grasped and obstacles surmounted. Struggle for Knowledge Fred Sutter was born in the backwoods of Michigan, where his father and mother lived the hardy pioneers' lives for years. When Fred was still a boy his parents migrated still further west—to Nebraska, where they took up a tract of grazing and farm land, and where Fred worked in the fields in the summer and looked after the herds in winter. His opportunities for schooling were small. A little country school house with classes six months in the year, was his only educational experience. Books on the family shelves were few and limited—an old-fashioned family Bible, some of McCauley's essays, a history of the NEGRO WOMEN MAKE GOOD AT LABOR IN BRICKYARD ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Negro women as day laborers are fast taking the places of men called to war in the brick plants in this city. At all the plants it is said woman labor has proved satisfactory. The women load bricks on trucks and railroad cars. Negro women also have been employed as lumber handlers in lumber yards, as laborers on track work by railroads, and a large number of girls have taken work as elevator conductors. "ARE THEY PRAYING FOR US?" In the Iowa Christian Endeavor Bulletin, August issue, it tells of a soldier wounded in a hospital of France. He sent the following lines to his mother as a good-bye message, for he died soon after: Are they praying 'or us at home? Are they meeting together in prayer. Or going about in the same old way As they did when I was there? We thank them for their money. We thank them for their care. But, oh, just tell them, mother dear, We are needing so much prayer. Will you ask them to meet together, To meet at our Father's throne, That we may be kept from faltering, When we feel we are standing alone? There are moments when courage fails us. We are needing so much more prayer. Is not this what many colored soldiers would wish? In Los Angeles, Cal., nine colored "four-minute men" are at work talking up the purchase of Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and war organization activities among the colored people, with excellent results. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1918 During the long winter months, when the blizzards swept the plains of his home state, and when life out-of-doors was practically impossible, Fred read and re-read these meager books. One of his brothers occasionally sent him a magazine or book from the outside world, and he added with avidity to his store of knowledge. Finally he met and became friendly with a justice of the peace. Here he found a new source of books and finally he became imbued with the desire to study law. It was about this time that one of his older brothers came to Arizona. Fred read the letters from his brother to his mother and father—they were letters of opportunities offered in the then young west. Fred begged for and was granted permission to join Fred was 20 years old when he aris his brother. He came to Jerome, rived in the Yavapai county mining camp. His assets were a strong back and arms and a will to win and zeal for hard work. He secured a job in the mines of the United Verde Copper company, where he went underground as a "mucker" or laborer. He remained on this job six months. Then he heard of better wages and living conditions in Bisbee and he came to Cochise county. It is significant to note that on this trip he carried his own lunch with him—sandwiches which he had himself made—in order that he might save the few (Continued on Page 4) 3 NEGROES NOMINATED BY REPUBLICANS IN WEST VIRGINIA 3 NEGROES NOMINATED BY REPUBLICANS IN WEST VIRGINIA CHARLESTON, W. Va., August—In the state-wide primary held last Tuesday, three colored men were nominated on the Republican ticket in as many counties for member of the house of delegates, the lower branch of the legislature. The nominees were: J. V. Coleman, Kimberly, Fayette county; Harry J. Capehart, Keystone, McDowell county, and T. G. Nutter, Charleston, Kanawha county. Legislative candidates, in fact, members of that branch of the state government, are not novelties in West Virginia, few terms having passed in the last twenty years without race representation. But at no time before have there been so many candidates, nor before has Kanawha county before given a colored man a nomination, though there were two previous attempts. The honor of breaking through the barriers came to T. G. Nutter, an attorney at law, formerly grand exalted ruler of the Elks, now grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and secretary treasurer of the bank recently organized here by colored citizens. Of the six nominated from among fourteen candidates. Nutter was third. Mr. Capehart is also an attorney, and, coming as he does from a rock-ribbed republican county, is most certain of election. The other nominee, Mr. Coleman, is a laboring man, having worked in various capacities around coal mines all his life. He was second of the four winners among six candidates. The colored population in none of these counties is one-sixth of the whole, that of Kanawha being about one-tenth. CAMP DIX, N. J.—Complaint is made by colored draftees from New York and New Jersey that various terms of race discrimination are being practiced at Camp Dix. Radical Southern customs are being religiously observed in this eastern cantonment, it is charged, and little effort made to promote good-fellowship between the white and colored soldiers. Colored rookies from New York and other eastern points who are not used to "Jim Crowism" declare that prejudice on account of race and color is rampant here. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, is to be called on to use his influence to make the cantonment a more democratic institution. Numerous incidents have been recited to substantiate charges made by eastern drafted men that a well organized effort is being made to segregate the colored men. When colored draftees from the north are sent to southern camps they are told to adhere to southern customs. Now, to their chagrin, they find that eastern customs have been discarded for southern customs in an eastern cantonment. "Jim Crowed" at Ball Games A ball game was played several The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that two of the ringleaders and fifteen other members of the mobs that lynched negroes in Brooks and Lowndes counties, Georgia, last May have been named to Governor Dorsey of Georgia. The information was got by Walter F. White, assistant secretar yof the association, who made a personal investigation. Mr. White's findings were submitted to Governor Dorsey on July 10 and a copy was mailed to President Wilson. Eleven Negroes Lynched A summary of his report says. 'Instead of six victims of the mobs which raged over Brooks and Lowndes counties from May 17 to May 22, eleven authenticated cases were discovered during an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the killing of Hampton Smith, a white farmer of Brooks county, Ga., and the wounding of his wife, near Barney, Ga., on May 16, and of the lynchings which followed. "Press dispatches at the time named Will Head, Will Thompson, Haynes Turner, Mary Turner, his wife, Dugene Rice and Sidney Johnson, the last of whom had stated before he was captured that he alone was implicated in the affair, and that the five who had previously been lynched were not involved in it. Five additional victims were found—Chime Riley, Simon Schuman, and three unidentified negroes whose bodies were taken from Little River, just below Quitman, Ga., about a week after they had been lynched. Negroes of the neighborhood told the investigator that there were eighteen victims, but no more than eleven could be authenticated. 'More than 500 negroes have left the regions since the outbreak, so that a number of negroes who were said by acquaintances to have mysteriously disappeared, could not be located nor their whereabouts ascertained and are not included in the investigator's findings. Hundreds of acres of once productive land are now overrun with weeds and dozens of farm houses and cabins, deserted by their former occupants, despite the threats involved in the statements of the mobs that any negro attempting to leave the region would be considered to be involved in the killing of Smith. "Chime Riley was lynched and clay turpentine cups, used to catch the body when the turpentine trees are cut, were tied to his body; the body was then thrown into Little River, near Barney, Ga., on the Moultrie TRIBUNE afternoonms ago between a white and a colored team at Camp Dix. Colored men from New York, who all their lives have been sitting in any and every section of the grandstand they desired, were surprised to learn that the white soldiers were seated in one section and the colored soldiers in another. Inquiry as to why soldiers in uniform should be segregated brought forth the explanation that this plan of seating was adopted in order to prevent trouble between the races. When the New York drafted men went to Camp Dix, many for the first time in their lives saw a "Jim Crow" sign. On Cafeteria No. 2, which is used as a mustering in station, the sign "For White Men" met their gaze. Although the war department has decreed that the obnoxious term "nigger" be tabooed from the army, "nigger," "coon" and "darkey" are frequently heard. All the officers of colored regiments, for some reason, will be white. Colored citizens will call upon the war department, through Mr. Scott, to ferret out who is responsible for conditions not to the liking of colored Kraftees in the habit of being treated as men among men. According to press dispatches from Dewey, Okla., a mob of more than five hundred white people set fire to and burned every Negro home in a section of that city last Monday evening. Just how many persons were burned alive could not be learned, but sufficient to say that a large number lost their lives or perished in the flames. Only one Negro home was spared, that of an old woman. Bad feeling had been brewing for several days, due to labor trouble and strikes, which are said to be the principal cause of the trouble, but a direct cause was precipitated when a Negro, Ned Widlow, shot the chief of police and another man who attempted to arrest Widlow for disturbing the peace. Feeling against all Negroes was high, and it is feared that many innocent persons have been murdered CUT THIS OUT AND PASTE IT ON YOUR MIRROR The soldier has twenty-nine chances of coming home to one chance of being killed. He has ninety-eight chances of recovering from a wound to two chances of dying. He has only one chance in 500 of losing a limb. He will live five years longer because of his physical training. He is freer from disease in the army than in civil-life. He has better medical care at the front than at home. In other wars, from ten to fifteen died from disease to one from bullets. In this war, one man dies from disease to every ten from bullets. road, at night, and has not been seen since. The interior of his house as well as the furniture was completely demolished "The story of Mary Turner's fate was related to the investigator by men who affirmed that they were present at her death, and is related with every desire to avoid the gruesome except as is necessary in giving the facts" Mr White says he learned that, although approaching confinement, she was hung head downward, her clothes saturated with gasoline and set afire Her body was afterward riddled with bullets In connection with the report, Secretary Shillady declared that the association is gratified beyond measure by the recent "magnificent" pronouncement of President Wilson in condemnation of the omb spirit and lynching. WILL THE NEGRO RECEIVE JUSTICE WHEN THE WAR IS OVER? By Hannibal, the Carthaginian. Unfortunately for us, we have no newspapers to herald to us the special dolings of our boys who are now with Uncle Sam in France. We have only to rely upon a few negro papers printed in the north and west to get the information we need. In almost every paper and magazine we take up we find glowing accounts of the white American soldier or sailor, but nothing about our boys, except for the little notice given those two men who fought 24 Germans, the white papers have been silent concerning what the boys of our race are doing. However, whether they mention us or not, we are there and we are giving a strict account of ourselves. When America entered the war, the question was, what to do with the negro. The negro answered by volunteering, not waiting to be called. They were told that this was a white man's war and "niggers" were not wanted. The government took a hand and called all alike. There has been no trouble with them except in cases of extreme ignorance, and not wilful "slacking." In many of the white papers we often read of organized gangs of draft resisters who barricaded themselves in woods and glens and have pitched battles with soldiers and the civil authorities. Except in one case of being led astray by others (some negroes and Indians at the outset attempted to resist the draft laws, but were soon overcome), the negro has been responding to every call. Not only has he responded to the draft, but as near as he could be volunteered in the regular army and also in labor regiments and as mess attendants in the navy. We made a special article on the subject of negroes in the navy, asking for a separate ship to be manned entirely by negroes. Of course, nothing will come of it, but we only mention it to let the other man know how we are thinking. We read an article not very long ago in which a white man said that the white people didn't know what the negro is thinking. That is true, but we can tell the world what the negroes are not thinking. We have not the remotest thought that the Germans will win the war. They never will win. They cannot and must not win. As much as the Kaiser is saying, "Me and God," God it not with Germany. Why He has permitted her to remain unbeaten so long is His business. As sure as Scipio Africanus conquered our namesake, Hannibal, and Caesar, Pompey, Octavius, Anthony, and Wellington, Napoleon Bonaparte, so will the allies conquer William the Second of Prussia. Mark our prediction. The only question is, what shall be done with the man who, by his inordinate ambition caused the death of millions of human beings, noncombatants, including women and chil- WHITE SOLDIER GETS THREE YEARS AT HARD LABOR Throwing Bottles at Negro Soldiers Was the Cause. CAMP MEADE, Md.—Brigadier General Gaston announced that Walter Middleton, private of company B of the Seventeenth infantry, had been sentenced to three years' confinement at hard labor, to dishonorable discharge from the army, and to forfeit all pay, on the charge of "engaging in a riot on July 24, 1918, by throwing bottles at negro soldiers." The trouble which resulted in the arrest of Middleton and other members of the Seventeenth infantry and some negro soldiers took place at the canteen in the W., B. & A. station at the camp. A white soldier accused a negro soldier of jostling him, and then it is alleged Middleton threw a bottle at a negro soldier. Things began to look serious for a time until the military police broke in. The affray had some of the people ducking. Other soldiers, both black and white, have been arrested in connection with the affray. 5 CENTS A COPY; $2 A YEAR MAYBE confession RECEIVE JUSTICE THE WAR IS OVER? dren, and the spending of billions of dollars? They have handed down the name of Attila the Hun as the "scourge of God." But when we meet Attila in the spirit land we will have to get down on our knees and humbly apologize to him for the insults to his memory. William of Prussia, when he shuffles off this mortal coil, should there be any. "Elysian Fields," as pictured by Dante, will be very lonely. His very soldiers, sailors and officers will-shun him. However, as we believe neither in the Elysian Fields or purgatory, we are afraid if he goes into the presence of God with his soul dripping with innocent blood, he will hear a doom not to his liking. It is strange how God brings strange things to pass. Here in America and in the southern part, if a negro dares to raise his hand to strike a white person, even in self-defense, or under the greatest provocation, his life pays the forfeit in the most horrible manner. Now they are drilling negroes' and sending them thousands of miles to kill whom? White men. Strange, is it not? Such is the working of Providence. We, as negroes, feel proud of the fact that our boys are not only in labor regiments and are mess attendants, but every time we read the papers and see where the American soldiers are in the thickest of the fight, we rejoice to know somewhere our black boys are helping to kill the cruel Germans. When this war is over, will the negroes still be denied the ballot? Will they still be lynched and insulted? We are reminded of the fact that in the first six months of this year 38 negroes have been lynched and women were among them. How is that for justice and democracy? And all in the face of the fact that relatives of those lynched are on the firing line. Still we are not thinking of these things. We are forgetting for the time being at least the miserable Jim Grow cars we are paying good money to ride in. We are only remembering that America is fighting for her life, and, like good Americans, we are fighting side by side with the bravest of the brave and we are letting the enemy know that we are in the fight to win After the war is over, will Americans permit the Austrians to return and push the negroes out of the factories and railroad labor as before? Will she permit the cruel and defeated Germans to rush again to the country, they are now trying to destroy and accumulate wealth as they did before to finance another war against her while the faithful negroes who are helping to stem the "Hun's drive, (Continued on Page 4) AFTER THE WAR There will be something doing, After the war.... There will be trouble brewing, After the war. Germany hopes to grab the trade, In spite of all the trouble she's made Uncle Sam will cause that dream to fade, After the war. This will be a brighter world, After the war; Democracy's banner will be unfurled After the war. No more the cannon's mouth we rush, For Germany's power will be crushed And the kaiser's voice will be hushed After the war. Many wrongs will be righted, After the war; America's name must not be blighter After the war.

DOUGLAS, ARIZONA Rev. Edw. Jones, Representative Mrs. Phoenix was quite successful with her dinner last Saturday evening, which she gave in order to raise funds to care for her husband, who is sick in bed . William King, a nephew of Mrs. Sarah Jefferson of Douglas, left last night for Union Town, Alabama, where he will enter a school to complete his education. It is too bad that our colored boys and girls have to go to the south, where exists all of that prejudice and discrimination, in order to complete their education. The friends of Mr. King wish him success down there in that hotbed of race prejudice and discrimination. Rev. M. C. Hooe of Flagstaff vernor stopped over a few days in Douglas last week while en route to Denver, Colo., and St. Louis, Mo. He will attend the National Convention of Baptists, which convenes in the latter city on the fourth prox. Rev. T. C. Cook, pastor of the C. M. E. church, says that Sunday will be his rally day. He is getting ready for his annual conference, which convenes in Phoenix on September 25. His slogan is: "Over the top." Rev. Jones will preach for Dr. Cook Sunday night. Everybody is invited to come out and help us "go over the top." Sunday, September 1, the following services will be held at the Baptist church: Sunday school, 10 a. m.; preaching, 11 a. m.; home mission society, 5 p. m.; evening services, 8 p. m.

RAY, ARIZONA Archie Lewis, Representative Little Arnold Smith, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, was quite ill on last Saturday. While playing in Mrs. Harris' yard, he found a can that contained a quantity of coal oil and drank the contents. An immediate call was sent the doctor, and on arriving he found it necessary to work very hard in order to save the little fellow's life. At this writing, little Arnold is resting easily and his condition is not at all serious. J. J. McDonald, who is spending the summer on the coast, wrote a letter last week to a friend in Ray, stating that he is now sojourning in the beautiful city of San Diego. Mac states that he has not yet seen any mairails, but if his old friends keep saying, "let's have another," he is liable to see a whole bunch of them before he returns to Ray. Mrs. Parker of Tempe, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Frank Smith, the last week, left on Wednesday for her home in that city. She was accompanied by her daughter and little grandson. Mrs. Barnall has been on the sick list the past week. She is much improved at this writing and hopes to be out in a few days. IS THE NEGRO GOING TO WIN? AJO, ARIZONA Rev. Major Jones, Representative. Mr. Ed Graham of Austin, Texas, arrived in Ajo last Friday morning. He has been favorably impressed with the city and has decided to send for his family and reside here permanently. Mr. Graham was given a cordial welcome by the citizens of Ajo and he says that he fell in love with the place right away. To all good colored citizens who are trying to make their way in the world and are willing to work, we say welcome to Ajo, the town of opportunities. Among the things worth while to send our soldier boys from Arizona is the Phoenix Tribune. It affords them an opportunity to get all the news in the state that is of interest to our people. Ajo will soon have a $135,000 public school building. All we lack is a representative number of children in Ajo to attend this school. We regret that there are only four colored children to enter such a fine school. Mr. and Mrs. George Hawkins left Wednesday evening for Austin, Texas, to be at the bedside of Mrs. Hawkins' mother, who is very ill in that city. We hope for her recovery and the successful return of Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins to this town. Mrs. H. Mickens said that the box she sent her husband had all kinds of good things to eat in it, yet she waited for the Tribune that she might send it along, too. Everybody is talking about it. Talking about what? The Phoenix Tribune, Arizona's greatest weekly newspaper. The Green Lee Baptist church is coming to the front with two members for baptism next Sunday, September 1.

Sherbet, cake, punch, candy and a number of other good things dear to the heart of every child. Mrs. Green spared no pains in making this an event long to be remembered by the children.

The ham bones to the boys, to remind them that they must provide the meat for their families; the wish bones to the girls in order to remind them of the fact that they must always wish good-luck to their husbands.

Birthday Party Par Excellence In order to properly celebrate their son's birthday, it was necessary for Mr. and Mrs. Ben James, 719 East Jefferson street, to rent a hall for an entire evening. So numerous were the invitations that had been sent to the many friends of Ben James, Jr., to attend his birthday party that his parents found their six-room residence far too small to accommodate the invited guests. Dorris Hall, 35 East Washington street, was accordingly secured, and the grand celebration took place in that magnificent edifice. Parlor games were introduced and the children enjoyed these old-fashioned amusements immensely. The grand march was next in order. Every one wore a cap of patriotic colors and, while marching around the room, they presented a perfect picture. After enjoying this form of entertainment for several hours, they were all seated around the banquet table and a large birthday cake containing sixteen candles was brought out. A big slice of the cake was given each of them and they all enjoyed it along with the many other refreshments that were served. At a late Master, Ben James a happy birthday and many of them.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL OFFERS OPPORTUNITY TO AMBITIOUS YOUTH The Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, located at Topeka, Kan., is the biggest and best industrial school for colored students west of the Mississippi river. The principal of this institution believes there is a goodly number of ambitious colored students in this section of the country who want a broader, more useful education and for that reason he has caused to be inserted in this issue of The Tribune an advertisement setting forth the many advantages offered by this institution, of learning. We respectfully request those of our readers who are interested in any of the courses offered, to write Professor Bridgeforth for full information concerning tuition, etc. Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, Washington, D. C., has addressed a message to the colored youth telling him to continue his education. He says that there is now an unusual demand for educated men and women and skilled workmen of our race, and after the war there will be an even greater demand for trained men and women. Granting this prophecy to be true, and we have every reason to believe it is, it behooves us to be up and doing so that when we are weighed in the balances we will not be found wanting. There is not an agricultural and industrial school in the country that has a better rating than the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, and we believe you will do well to make it YOUR school. BISHOP C. H. PHILLIPS TAKES UNTO HIMSELF A CHARMING BRIDE CLEVELAND, Ohio.—Mrs. Laura Cheeks of this city has announced the ensuing marriage of her daughter, Miss Ella, to Bishop Charles Henry Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., and two distinguished families will thus be joined. The Cheeks family come from an old and representative family of Abington, Va., and, following the death of the father two years ago, Cleveland became their new home. It is a large family, one of numerous attalments and education. One son, for instance, is a Christian minister, and is a practicing lawyer of this city, another is a mechanical engineer doing inspection work for the government in Detroit; another holds an official position in the army; one is a dentist practicing in St. Paul, while still another is pursuing a professional course.

Miss Ella Cheeks, the bride-to-be, has taught in Virginia and Kentucky. She served two years at Tuskeegee and has just resigned to become the wife of the Nashville dignitary. Miss Cheeks graduated from Hampton and subsequently did post-graduate work in Columbia University of New York, Cheney and other well known institutions, and is a woman of pleasing, charming personality, modest in her manners and deeply religious. These attributes, together with other lovely qualities of head and heart, eminently fit her for the functions which will devolve upon her. Bishop Phillips is one of the outstanding figures in Methodism and one of the leading churchmen of his generation. He is scholarly, an eloquent preacher and a writer of power. The ceremony will be pronounced in St. Louis at 4209 West Belle Plains, carrying out the wishes of the Bishop and his children, the most of whom live there. That the Bishop should marry in the home of his son, Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., with all the members of the family present illustrates the fine feeling of the children toward the new addition to their father's home.

He arrived in Bisbee in 1894, and his first job was in the old Bisbee smelter of the Copper Queen company, where he did common roastabout labor. Those were the days of the early 90's—the Wolfville days of Arizona the days when Brewery Gulch was agleam with red lights and white lights, when women of the dance halls beckoned, when the clink of glasses and bottles called; when cards and dice and faro banks and roulette drew into their net the men who toiled ten hours beneath the earth, or in the smelter's heat-blasts, and spent their time and money in gilded palaces of day and night revelry. Fred Sutter, the boy, saw it all. Many times he felt the call of the den. Others went there when their shift was over. Fred Sutter, the youth, was alone in a great, wild, pioneer country where the entertainment and pleasures offered youth were the music halls and the saloons. Men whom Fred Sutter knew laughed at him when he said "no." They called him "sissy" and "softy." But Fred Sutter, the youth, saw farther than the bright lights and gaudy gowns of revelry. His eyes were on the flickering, beckoning lights of the flame of ambition—ambition to study and practice law. * CLASSIFIED * ADVERTISEMENTS Read These Ads Carefully.

He sometimes rode horseback through the mountains, but generally he went to his bunk in a frame shack, pulled down a book from a mighty scant supply, and studied. In time he had saved a small stake, and in 1896 he began the realization of his dreams. For three years, then, Fred Sutter, now the man, for he had passed to the age of maturity, applied himself in the Shattuck Military Academy at Fairbault, Minn., where his savings enabled him to spend most of his hours in studying. By application he covered a four years' course in three years and in 1899 he graduated with honors. He had received the fundamental training which was necessary before he could enter law school. But he had received another training which has often since been of value—the military training, which instilled in him the love of law and order, the love of country, and the knowledge of the great value of discipline. With the foundation for the greater knowledge laid, Fred Sutter found himself again without funds. One of his brothers offered to loan him sufficient money to attend law school. He refused the proffered aid and returned to Bisbee, where once more he bent his back over a shovel and pushed the little ore cars through the dark, dank tunnels of a mine. He saved a small fund in one year and returned to Nebraska, the state of his boyhood, to receive his legal training in the University of Nebraska. His funds were not large and economy was necessary. But he applied more than economy. He lived in an attic room for two years; he waited table at one of the student boarding houses; he did janitor work about the University; he shoveled snow in the winter, and the one summer vacation he enjoyed was spent behind a plow in the fields. Then he graduated, but his funds were so low that he did not have railroad fare to return to Arizona. He became a clerk in a law office, where in a few months he saved the price of a ticket. In 1902 Fred Sutter returned to Bisbee and opened his first office for the practice of law. He has been a resident of Bisbee ever since. His record in public life has been replete with service rendered, and he has devoted a large part of his time to public service. For five years he was city attorney of Bisbee. Later he was elected to the territorial legislature from Cochise county. He served as superior judge in Cochise county. Recently he met a pioneer friend in Yavapai county who had known him since he came to the state. The pioneer pledged his support in this race to Sutter, but he told him he holds one grudge. "I'll never forgive you for resigning from the bench," his old friend told him. "You were one of the best judges Cochise county ever had, and you should have stayed on the job." Even Senator Sutter's political enemies, the men who are fighting him in his own county for the nomination, declare he was one of the most efficient one of the fairest, one of the cleanest judges this state has ever known. For the past eighteen months, Fred Sutter has represented Cochise county in the state senate. He is now engaged in the practice of law in his home town, Bisbee, where he has built up a large legal business. In this time of war, the good citizens of Arizona are interested in securing as governor the man fully qualified to give the state a businesslike, efficient government. Fred Sutter has issue da fearless, frank, business platform, in every way American, pledging his efforts to economy and the elimination of the political machine from the state. He is standing firmly and squarely on the planks of this platform. And he is asking support only on his qualifications and the issues for which he stands. He has been successful in life and has earned his education and his progress. He has worked in the fields and in the mines and with every kind of men. He knows life. He has been a leader of men, political affairs at home and in business. He has attained a fair degree of success in the businesses sworld. He has balance of age and experience. He has executive ability, which has been strengthened through service on the bench and in the legislature. He has education. He has the fine polish of the gentleman tempered with the western spirit and democracy, enabling him to meet and deal with all classes on one plane. And, he has home life. Two motherless baby boys are his greatest pleasure in living. He works for them and plays with them, and since the death of their mother, a little more than a year ago, he has been both mother and father to two curly-headed, bright-eyed American boys. His record invites inspection. In the legislature it shows that he has THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING COLORED COMMITTEE MAKES PROTEST ABOUT PHILADELPHIA RACE RIOT PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Two committees of representative negroes called upon the Mayor and Director of Public Safety Wilson to protest against the "partiality" of the police during the race riots in southwest Philadelphia. They were unable to see Mayor Smith, who was out of town for the day, but did have an interview with Director Wilson. A letter expressing the views of the committees was mailed to the Mayor by the Rev. R. R. Wright, editor of The Christian Recorder and a 'sociological investigator." The asserted failure of the police protect the homes and persons of colored citizens was condemned by the leaders of the delegations. It was charged the police invariably arrested negroes on any pretense, while "white hoodlums" were allowed to parade on the streets unmolested, stoning the homes and even the churches of the negroes. The committees were unanimous in their opposition to segregation of any kind, insisting that the negroes had a constitutional right to live where they pleased. They suggest that colored policemen in colored districts would do much to solve the present problem. In the letter sent to Mayor Smith he was accused of "playing politics" in the police, and the force, as a whole, was declared inefficient. The delegation sof ministers represented the Methodist Preachers' meeting. It was headed by Dr. Wright and the Rev. J. C. Beckett. The other committee represented the Colored Knights of Pythias and was headed by B. G. Collier and Geo. W. Mitchell. The letter sent to the Mayor was in part as follows: "We represent large constituencies who reside in the zone of the race riots which seem now in progress. We have visited the homes of scores of these people and are well informed concerning conditions. "We wish to deplore the fact that your police have not been able to protect our citizens from mob violence. We deplore that Philadelphia thus gives the first answer to the mobile statement of President Wilson against mob violence with such a mockery. "We desire you to understand that we put the whole blame upon your incompetent police force. But for the sympathy of the police, their hobnobbing with the mob, which has now become the disgrace of Philadelphia, would have been nothing more than a petty row. Your police have for a long time winked at disorder, such as the beating up of negroes, the stoning of their homes and the attacking of their churches. "In this very section divine worship has again and again been disturbed by white hoodlums and there has been no redress. In nearly every part of the city peaceable and lawabiding negroes of the home-owning type have been set upon by irresponsible hoodlums, their property damaged and destroyed, while the police seem powerless to protect. It is not to be wondered at that the mob thought it could scare negroes from their homes with impunity. "This riot was not started by negroes. Your police arrested negroes almost exclusively and let white hood always voted for all measures which were for the best interests of the state and which would benefit the cause of labor. He has been friendly to labor and capital. His legal advice has been sold to the workingman frequently. Corporations have paid him for the same knowledge of law. He has been fair to both. His record in the superior court of Cochise county as judge is the best proof of this assertion. Senator Fred Sutter has always been a staunch, true-principled supporter of the democratic party and its platforms and aims. WILL THE NEGRO will be kicked out in contempt and told as they are being told, that they are nothing but ignorant "niggers?" Remember, all the negroes engaged in this war are not ignorant. They have been and are being taken from the country schoolhouse to the highest colleges and universities in the land. They have been and are being taken from all the learned professions. So the charges of ignorance cannot be brought against all of them any more than it can be said that all the whites are educated. America is a land of fair play. In theory, at least, all men are given a square deal. We negroes are trusting entirely in the justice of the man in the White House. We are fighting for America and she will look out for her heroes when they return from the war. We are perfectly contented to trust in God. lums roam the streets to do more damage. "We severely condemn mob rule, and we condemn negroes who disregard the law, and we feel lawbreakers of all races should be treated alike. "In every community where there a:e negroes the presence of policemen tends to put down race friction. We feel quite certain that if an equal number of white and colored policemen had been in the mob district the disturbance would have subsided in a few minutes. "But for your policy of putting police for political prestige in these districts there would not have been any such disgraceful disturbances." On Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock a colored man, bleeding and beaten, was chased through South Stillman street by a mob of white roughs, John Robinson of 1522 South Stillman street, went to his door and when he saw the mob went in and closed and locked the door. The mob, diverted by this, stopped chasing the fleeing man and broke down the door of Robinson's house, went in, shot Robinson in the leg, and proceeded to break up and destroy all the furniture. Before leaving they took a diamond horseshoe pin valued at $75, a watch and chain valued at $50, two suits of clothes, two dresses, two pairs of shoes and three silk shirts, besides $25 in money. Other houses on the same street were broken into by the mob and furniture destroyed and stolen; in one case a victrola was taken. Tuesday morning at 11:15 o'clock, by appointment, Andrew F. Stevens and G. Grant Williams called on the director of public safety. Acting Superintendent of Police Mr. Mills was present. "Mr. Stevens said in part: 'We are here to protest in plain language against the discriminating tactics of the police in the rioting now going on in the vicinity of Twenty-ninth and Ellsworth streets. There were several meetings held last night by representative colored citizens who were unanimous in their opinion that your police were in sympathy with the white rioters. Several instances were cited where the white policemen would enter homes of colored citizens, disarm them and then leave them at the mercy of the mob. "It was also stated that your office had issued orders to hardware dealers and other places not to sell firearms of any kind to colored men. The colored citizens consider this unfair and feel that it is an injustice for you to allow white men to bear arms to assault them and for your police to disarm them and leave them at the mercy of these unlawful lawbreakers "I have a client who desired to purchase a piece of property, and the agent refused to sell it to him because he was colored. I went to the owner, who thought I was a white man, and purchased that property, and then transferred it to my client. Now the neighbors have informed him that he must not move into the house under a penalty of being mobbed. When my client moves in I shall go there with him and take two automatic revolvers, and if they attempt any assault on my client or his home, I shall use those guns to the best of my ability. So, I am warning you, Mr. Wilson, so that you may assist in keeping me out of trouble. I feel as do other members of my race, that respectable, lawabiding colored citizens have a perfect right to purchase property and live in any section of the city that they wish. Then, too, there were several ministers of color who have always been law-abiding citizens—they, like many others of the respectable class, have decided that they must protect themselves, hence they have purchased guns and ammunition." GLOBE-MIAMI, ARIZ. Mrs. W. F. Watkins, Rep. WHO'S WHO IN GLOBE-MIAMI Mr. H. Morgan is another one of our progressive race men. He is a resident of Miami. When you meet Morgan, you will find him dressed in a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. There is nothing fancy about this man Morgan. You will often see him in deep conversation with the big men of the town. We thought to investigate and find out who Morgan was. Morgan is a partner of A. Coleman, our prominent business man of Miami. He owns considerable real estate in Brighton Beach, Ore.; thirty thousand shares of stock in the Silver King mine of this state; three hundred shares of stock in the North West Inspiration Con. Copper company; and many other mining shares. Now, can you see why he talks with the big folks? Just like you see Morgan with his sleeves rolled up is the way he goes after business. He knows the mining business from A to Z, and when there is stock offered for sale, every one goes and asks Mor- gan's advice before investing their money. Morgan does not mingle much with the people, so we had to go to him for an interview. When asked his object in life, he said: "The love that I have for my wife, my home and my race is what makes me struggle so hard. When I shuffle off this mortal toil, I want the world to be made a little better by my having lived in it." Hoy many men have considered the question, "Is the world being made better or worse by my living in it?" Morgan is a valuable man to the race. We are proud of you, Morgan, and wish there were more like you. Gleanings from Globe and Miami All the churches report excellent services on last Sunday.
