NEGRO APPOINTED WAR CORRESPONDENT United States To Loan $5,000,000 To Republic of Liberia SIX BILLION NEEDED TO BEAT GERMANY PHOENIX FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN CALLS FOR SIX BILLION; CAN'T WIN WITHOUT IT VOL. 1. NO. 28 NEGRO United S SIX BI FOURTH LIBERTY LO BILLION; CAN' McAdoo Says This Vast Sum Is Needed in Order to Re-establish Liberty and Democracy NEW YORK, Sept.—Six billion dollars is the minimum amount which the people of the United States are asked to subscribe for the Fourth Liberty loan, according to an announcement by William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, in a stirring address outlining the government plan for the campaign, which starts today. The share allotted to the New York federal reserve district is $1,800,000,000, or 30 per cent of the greatest loan yet offered. The loan, which will bear 4¼ per cent interest, will run for 20 years, maturing October 15, 1938, unless the government should exercise its reserved right to redeem the bonds on or after October 15, 1933. "Can't Lick Kaiser Without It Asserting that without this vast sum "we cannot lick the kaiser," the secretary made a special appeal for the subscriptions of corporations and wealthy individuals, as returns from the third Liberty loan indicated that wealthy corporations and persons of large means had not responded "commensurately with their ability to help." He pointed out that of the 18,000,000 Americans who subscribed for the last loan only 22,500, including corporations, bought bonds in excess of $10,000. "It would be preposterous," he said, "to say that there are only 22,500 men, women and corporations in America able to lend more than $10,000 each to their government in Liberty bonds." Condemns This Practice Mr. McAdoo also condemned the practice of "dishonest and unscrupulous and unpatriotic people who, contrary to the urgent request of the treasury department, had induced holders of Liberty bonds to exchange them for stocks or investments of doubtful values." He pointed out that these operations forced the treasury to buy the bonds thus thrown upon the market in order to protect the market and the credit of the government. Applauded by a crowd which filled Carnegie hall, Mr. McAdoo said, in part: Need to Carry on War "The treasury of the United States asked the American people to subscribe to the Fourth Liberty loan $6,000,000. This money is needed to carry on the war. We cannot lick the kaiser without it. We cannot restore peace to the world and re-establish liberty and democracy without it." DOUGLAS, ARIZONA Rev. Edw. Jones, Representative We are delighted with the Tribune here in Douglas, because it tells all the news. Our customers are always anxious to receive "their" paper. The pastor of the C. M. E. church, Rev. T. C. Cook, preached to a full house on last Sunday night. His subject was "Be Courageous—Keep the Faith." Rev. Cook delivered a powerful sermon from this subject and it was well received. Rev. Edward Jones then led the congregation in prayer, after which he sang: "I love the Lord, He Heard My Cries." This had the effect of heaping more fuel on the fire and for fully half an hour every one in the house was happy. A regular old time shouting meeting was held. Seven came forward and signified their intention of connecting themselves with a church. Three came to the C. M. E. church, three to the Baptist and one to the A. M. E. church. Rev. Rickman having just returned from the Annual Conference in Denver, was there ready to receive the member into his fold. Collection was $20.60. Monday night services were quite VOLUNTEER YOUR SUBSCRIPTION DO IT THE FIRST DAY These are the two slogans with which the campaign for the fourth and largest Liberty Loan will be launched in Maricopa county on Saturday morning. The first means that nobody is to wait for a committee of workers to wait upon him before making his subscription. Just grab your check book, or your purse and get to the bank Saturday morning at 10 o'clock and subscribe for your bond. Pay ten per cent of your subscription down, get your receipt, and you have saved busy workers lots of time and energy, and have put your money solidly behind the boys in France. The second slogan means that every effort is to be made to roll up u big total in this county the first day of the campaign, instead of waiting until the last night. With a much larger quota than ever before to be raised, and only three weeks in which to float the loan, it is absolutely necessary that the loan start with a rush from the very beginning of the campaign. The colored citizens of Phoenix and Maricopa county have always been in the forefront in patriotic endeavor, and with the opening of the Fourth Liberty loan campaign they will do all in their power to help put the loan over the top. In view of the splendid showing the colored troops are making in France, and the high praise that has been bestowed upon them in action, there is not the slightest doubt that they will have the support of those they left at home. As the government is asking for twice as much money in this loan as for the third loan, it will be necessary for everybody to subscribe as much as they possibly can. "Marcopa county's quota for the Fourth Liberty loan is $2,615,600, practically twice the amount asked for in previous loans", said County Chairman Joseph R. Loftus in discussing the quota. "That means that the people of this county are called upon to subscribe more than ever before, and they must do it twice as quickly." reviving. Many went out to hear the Rev. Mr. White of El Paso, but he failed to arrive. The presiding elder, Rev. Z. Z. Johnson, preached to the congregation. Rev. Johnson delivered a strong sermon and all who went were benefitted. His text was: "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Rev. T. C. Cook, Presiding Elder Johnson and his wife left Tuesday morning for Phoenix, where they will attend the Annual Conference which convened in that city Wednesday, September 25. We wish them a successful conference. Rev. Wm. Green, pastor of the Zion Baptist church of El Paso was in the city last week to visit Rev. Edward Jones and to inquire about the work in Arizona. The reverend is thinking of coming West. When we introduced to him the Tribune, he was delightfully surprised to know that we had a Colored newspaper in Arizona. He requested me to inform the editor that he would like to be a representative for the Tribune in El Paso, Texas and wants six copies of this issue sent to him at El Paso. The club members of the Baptist church are getting busy for their rally. The club members are all excellent workers. The entertainment given last Tuesday night by Mrs. Jones was a complete success. Mrs. M. Wealthy will give an entertainment Friday night at her home on Sixteenth street. Everybody invited. Mrs. Ida Moss, after spending a few days in Naco and Bisbee and her ranch home near here, returned to Douglas this week. She reports everything in fine order along the border. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SEPTEMBER 28, 1918 TUCSON, ARIZONA Rev. S. E. Newell, Representative The late lamented James D. Newell, who has recently heard the Master's call and gone into the great beyond to await the coming of all the blood-washed and sanctified. His life of usefulness was of short duration, but the Newell family, together with a host of friends, can say that our loss is heaven's gain. Time fights for Germany. Buy Bonds now. Friends and relatives are very glad to welcome Mrs. A. F. Anderson and her smaller children back to Tucson after a few weeks spent in California. Mrs. Anderson is favorably impressed with Los Angeles, so much so that she is anxious to go again soon. Mrs. Missouri Noble has just returned from New Orleans, La., where she visited her sick sister. We are pleased to note that she reports her sister wonderfully improved in health. Rev. Allen, presiding elder of the Albuquerque district, has been returned to his some field of labor. He spent Sunday in Tucson. Miss Corine Noble is making preparations to return to New Orleans, La. The belief is held by some that this young lady may have her name changed before returning to Tucon. Mr. R. F. Lewis, Jr., and his brother Rossell left Tucson for Georgia, where they will enter school this fall. The race may expect great things from such young men as these. Their father and mother are exceedingly anxious to have them ascend the ladder of educational fame and there is likewise an anxiety on the part of the young men. We are all hoping that Mrs. Creede Taylor will soon return to Tucson from Oklahoma as her husband seems to be growing more and more melancholy. Mrs. Sylva Oby and son-in-law, Mr. George Strieler, and family are comfortably domiciled in their ranch home about nine miles northeast of this city. They are happy because they have something growing in the ground. Glad to state that the services at Mt. Calvary Baptist church on last Sunday were well attended. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are both moving along nicely. The contractors have just finished the work of remodeling our church building. Remodeling was as follows: A complete new front, new doors, new floor, weights in the windows, inside walls plastered and building painted on the outside. We can truly say. "This is the house of the Lord." The beauty of it all is that we do not owe one dime on the work. The pastor, members and patrons of this church feel their inability to adequately express their thanks and show their appreciation to all the many friends who assisted in this great struggle. We can now sing, "The Church Is Mov. A delightful birthday party was given in honor of little Helen Lee Charles, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Charles. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The color scheme was pink, pink rosebuds and pink ribbons being used in profusion. Many handsome presents consisting of gold and silver were given. The guest list included: Mrs. William White, Mrs. J. A. C. Jones, Mrs. William McLemore, Mrs. G. Lawrence, Mrs. T. J. Gates, Mrs. T. Smith, Mrs. C. Clemons, Miss Christina Jones, Miss Beulah Jordan, Miss Josie Raven, Mr. Willah Webster, Mr. Blakely and Mrs. Raven, Children present were; Alfonso Williams, Marion Sykes, Sherman, Gladys and Henry McLemore.

E. church in Globe, has been located at Douglas. It has not yet been reported who is to succeed him in the church at Globe. The members of the St. John Baptist church are working like bees during the absence of their pastor. Mrs. Susie Durr of Globe is moving to Miami. She will reside with Mrs. Mary Leonard. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Hill have returned to El Paso, Texas, where they formerly lived. Mr. Hill was employed by the Miami Copper Co., while here Mr. and Mrs. Primmer of Globe motored to Roosevelt dam on last Sunday in their seven-passenger Oldsmobile. They had as their guests—Mrs. Florence Tally, Mrs. Harrison and Miss Toliver. Mr. Jesse Sweat has returned to Globe from California, where he went to make his home. After a short residence in California, he decided that Globe, Ariz., was the only place in the world fit to live in. Mr. Henry Coleman of Wheatfield, made a business visit to Safford on last Sunday, spending three days in that city. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Watkins, Mrs. S. M. Watkins and Mrs. James Roberts were the guests of Rev. and Mrs. W. F. Watkins on last Sunday. Prof. L. P. Lupper has organized a Methodist Sunday school in Miami and the school is doing well. The hours are so arranged that the Baptists and Methodists can attend both schools and they do. Mr. Alex Louden of Globe departed for Phoenix last week. A Mr. Thomas is a recent arrival in Globe. He comes from Phoenix. Mr. Perry, a farmer and hog raiser of Young, Ariz., was a visitor in this district last week. In the front door of Mrs. Mary Leonard's home, hangs a service flag with two stars, representing her husband and brother who are doing service for this government. Mrs. Leonard has been left all alone. The colored Red Cross Chapter of Somerton, Ariz., gave a very enjoyable concert dance at the ladies' club house on Thursday evening, September 19. Yuma turned out in grand style and this helped to make the musical a big success. Both white and colored people attended the dance and had an enjoyable time. Miss Deaver of Prescott represented the main feature of the evening. She gave several selections from Dunbar, the Negro poet, and received enchore after enchore. She always responded with another and appropriate selection from this famous Negro poet. Corporal Harry H. Valentine, company clerk, "C" 25th Infantry, delivered a short oration. Corporal Wm. Thompson of Personnel Dept., 25th Infantry, made an interesting address. These intelligent young men are a credit to the race. Other members of the same company assisted with the instrumental music. With the excellent floor and good music, the dancing continued until after midnight. Our people need to be praised for such great work in Red Cross Canteen Service. Especially do our boys deserve credit for such gentlemanly deportment. Their manners are excellent and everyone remarks about it. We are as proud of our boys as is the government. They are stationed here and have the same quarters the RALPH W.

Crisp, Miller and Snowden and we shall be able to put down Kaiserism. Mr. Cheese has accepted a position with the S. P. Co. Mr. John Willis is looking quite forlorn since the departure of his better half. Mr. Willis is missing his pork chops and pies and wishes for the speedy return of his wife. We sympathize with you, Mr. Willis. We have two colored students in the public schools of Yuma. Mrs. Martha Chism will entertain the ladies of the Red Cross at her home on Main street Thursday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Chism was one of the first to subscribe for the Tribune. Others who did not hesitate a minute when asked to subscribe for the Tribune were Mrs. Pearl Staten, Mrs. Alex Hogan, Mrs. Ella Lynn; Messrs. Caton, Morris, Crisp, E. I. Johnson and Ollie Brown. The boys of the 25th Infantry say the Tribune is a great paper. The colored people of Somerton have organized a Sunday school. Everyone in Yuma and Somerton is so well pleased with the Tribune, till I think you had better send a few more copies this week. Let us have about 40 extra copies. A.J.O ABIZONA Rev. Major Jones, Representative. Mrs. Charlotte Brown and daughter are recent arrivals from Bisbee. Mrs. Brown is an ardent church-worker and we hope to enroll her very soon.

Mr. Lockett is an able speaker and we hope to have a crowded house on the night of his lecture. Private Vernon Smith is taking an active part in Social Service work and is making things look very bright. Mr. Smith is a man of itnellect and foresight and he very often speaks of the future. He remarked, that should he be successful in coming out of the army with his life, he will endeavor to bring things to pass. Our only wish is that we had more men of Mr. Smith's type. He is at present clerk for the D Co. Attachment of Ajo. The camp of the 25th Infantry has been opened to civilians. You may now go in and visit the boys.

Jones, Mrs. Gertrude Jones and Miss Thelma Brown spent a pleasant afternoon in camp last Sunday afternoon. They were the guests of Rev. Vaughn, Private Smith, Private Milton, Dr. Lockett and Trumpeter Chester Hill. Light refreshments, consisting of cake and ice cream were served.

In a resolution the women are asked to give up cosmetics and gaudy clothes. The board has also suggested the arrest of unchaperoned misses caught strolling near the camp after 9 p. m. Dr. Frank Overton, State Sanitary Supervisor, backed the anti-cosmetic resolution. "What shall the girls use to protect their complexions?" he was asked. "Soap," he replied laconically. PATRIOTIC MEETING HELD BY COLORED CITIZENS OF MESA PATRIOTIC MEETING HELD BY COLORED CITIZENS OF MESA W. P. Crump of Phoenix Principal Speaker of Evening, Delivers Strong Argument Favor of Better Treatment of Negroes (Special To The Tribune) MESA, Ariz, Sept. 24.—The colored citizens of Mesa gave a grand patriotic entertainment at the Vance Auditorium last Thursday evening. Owing to the absence of the mayor, who was to deliver the welcome address Mr. S. L. Daniels made a short talk to the audience. Program bega nby singing "America". After a few preliminary features, consisting of recitations and solos, the principal speaker of the evening was introduced in the person of Mr. W. P. Crump. He chose as his subject, "The Negro and the War." In a voice filled with eloquence, he impressed his hearers with the vital questions of the day. He spoke of the disgrace of democracy as practiced in this country with regard to the Negro, and laid particular stress on the manner in which the loyal Negroes of this country are being treated by a certain element of white citizens. The speaker said that he believed a system of education was necessary to check the mob spirit which has so frequently shown its head among us. Mr. Crump struck a responsive chord when he stated that he believed there had been a miscarriage of justice on the part of President Wilson in sending large armies to France to combat the Germans for their unspeakable crimes against the people of Belgium and Servia and then permit the mob element of the South to go unpunished for lynching and burning innocent, loyal American Negroes. The speaker was frequently interrupted with applause and this display of enthusiasm proved that he had the audience with him at all times. He urged his hearers to continue loyal and support the government in every way possible, to the end that when victory will have been achieved on the side of the Allies and a world democracy established, the black man may be permitted to rejoice with other nations over this victory and share in the glory of a world government founded on equal rights, equal respon- (Continued on Page 4) another candidate for baptism on Sunday, September 29.

C., September 25. —Two notable additions have been made within the past few days to the list of big achievements that may be justly credited to the influence of the recent conference of colored editors and leaders in Washington. One of the direct requests of the Editors' Conference in June was that a reliable colored news-writer be sent to France to report the doings of the colored troops on the western front in France, for the information of the anxious millions of colored Americans in this country and to the end that the correct story of the valor and patriotic devotion of their brethren might be told fully and in a sympathetic vein by one of their own blood and kindred. In compliance with this request, the Committee on Public Information has designated Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus, Ohio, former auditor for the Navy Department at Washington, as a regularly-commissioned war correspondent, to specialize on the conditions surrounding the colored troops in France and to make daily reports of the activities and engagements in which the colored soldiers are prominent. He will be on the staff of General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. Every facility has been provided by Mr. Geo. Creel, director of The Committee on Public Information, for the prompt and accurate gathering of all facts that may be of interest to the colored people. First Negro to be Name War Corres- pondent Mr. Tyler is the first colored man to be named as a regular war correspondent by any government in the world. He is a native of Ohio. For seventeen years he served in various departments on the Columbus Evening Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal, which gave him experience in the technique of the newspaper craft and afforded him opportunity for association with many influential newspaper men. This intimate contact with such forces will be invaluable to him in his labors as a war correspondent. The fact that he has a wide acquaintance with correspondents now at the front, will make it possible for him to get news concerning colored troops which, perhaps, no other colored correspondent could secure. The claims of a number of men were fully considered in connection with this important assignment, but Mr. Tyler was finally selected as the most efficient of those available. Immediately after war was declared by the United States on Germany, Mr. Tyler wrote the President, tendering his services in any capacity. He has three sons, all of whom are at the front in France. $5,000,000 Loan to Liberian Republic The second of this series of editorial conference achievements is the authorization by the government of a loan of $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia in line with the request of the Conference. This fund is allotted to aid in the rehabilitation of that country's finances, which have been reduced to a dangerously low ebb by the cessation of trade, and to develop production of rice and other foodstuffs for the allies, as well as to place on the market many of the greatly-needed products with which the little overseas republic abounds. Much of Liberia's commerce was with Germany, and this has been totally cut off since the former's declaration of war against the Teutons. The granting of this $5,000,000 credit through the United States Treasury had its inception several months ago when Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian (Continued on page 4) THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE Much as we way of doing so MIX TRIBUNE Greatest Weekly Arizona Much as we way of doing so unique method dates will be.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PAPER (Wyoming Stockman-Farmer) Your local paper, the paper in your community, is one of the best things you have. It is one of the strongest ties that bind you to the others in your particular corner of the world. Through it you are kept in touch with the corner's round of affairs, and through it you share the joys of others and help them bear their burdens. It is what the farmer would call the evener on which all pulling together make for the progress of the community. You ought not therefore to look on it as something to be read and then cast aside. You ought to regard it rather as an agency for good to which you can give strength by cooperation. A local paper is not a private institution; it is a public utility, and its usefulness increases as it is supported by the community—by you. This means that you must contribute to it, giving it news and backing the editor in the good things he tries to promote. If such co-operation were given every good paper by every citizen in his community, the editor could accomplish vastly more than he does. When you are disposed to grumble at the failure of the editor to get results, then ask yourself whether you have given him your share of support.

You will not stop even, when you have done that, but will use every means in your power to induce others to buy Liberty Bonds. We fail to see why so many people persist in hoarding wealth at the time. Don't you know the money you have will not do you a speck of good unless we win this war? If this nation loses in the struggle with Germany, what good are your American dollars? Why not put all your surplus money into Liberty Bonds? Then, if we win this war, you not only will get back your money, but accrued interest as well.

If your sympathy is with Germany and you favor Kaiserism, you will buy only a small Liberty Bond, one just big enough to have it said that you bought a Bond; but if you are with this government, and want to see Germany crushed, you will put every available dollar you have into Liberty Bonds. You will not stop even, when you have done that, but will use every means in your power to induce others to buy Liberty Bonds. We fail to see why so many people persist in hoarding wealth at this time. Don't you know the money you have will not do you a speck of good unless we win this war? If this nation loses in the struggle with Germany, what good are your American dollars? Why not put all your surplus money into Liberty Bonds? Then, if we win this war, you not only will get back your money, but accrued interest as well. Saturday noon all three news stands that handle the Tribune in Phoenix, had to hang out the sign "Sold Out." Several complaints were made about the news agent not keeping a copy of the Tribune for his "old" customers. Five new subscriptions were received this week from individuals who failed to get a copy of the Tribune last week. They say "We must have the Tribune."

Much as we would like to keep out of politics, there seems absolutely no way of doing so, unless we enter the "spineless" class of newspapers. A very unique method will be used in order to determine who the Tribune's candidates will be. It will consist of an open letter to each of the candidates, asking a FULL expression of his views and what his policy will be in regard to certain conditions existing among the colored citizens of the state. Who soever is afraid to commit himself publically on this matter, may rest assured the Tribune will not advocate his election. The letters are now in course of preparation and when completed will be sent—one to each candidate. Should none reply, we shall be able to remain neutral in regard to politics. We do not wish to place the various candidates in embarrassing positions, by forcing them to "show their hand", but it is the only way whereby we can conscientiously lend our support. Any candidate for office might make a secret promise to an individual but it takes unadulterated NERVE to come out openly and declare one's self in favor of better conditions for the black man. No individual promises for us. We want a promise that when fulfilled will benefit the masses. All we can ask or hope for, prior to election, is a promise and since this is the case, we demand a BROAD promise; one that includes every law-abiding citizen of the African race in the state. We ask for nothing more and will be satisfied with nothing less. Men of the white race when ad world's conflict has become a big ques two fires.

No man who is a leader of the rat satisfied with anything less; even thou on account of the accident of our birth WE ARE NOT SATISFIED.—Exchange Men of the white race when addressing Negro audiences, since the world's conflict has become a big question, usually find themselves between two fires. The customary phrases, describing what this war means to the people of this nation, seem to find no application to the colored man. So the speakers generally take up most of their time in apologizing for the wrongs perpetrated upon the colored people of this country by the whites, and in praising the loyalty of the Negro race. This of course, is very embarrassing to speaker and hearers alike. We are quite in sympathy with the members of our race who are placed in such embarrassing positions when called upon to speak to their own people. The leaders of the race who are patriotic, loyal, and anxious to do all in their power to help in this great fight for Democracy, by conversations, lectures or writings, must either apologize for the wrongs done to their brothers or plead ignorance of the existing conditions. In either event, they are placed in a bad position. We want Uncle Sam to help us do more for our race by removing the many handicaps that we are compelled to work under. Unless we have misinterpreted the word "Democracy", it means equal rights, equal duties, and equal responsibilities for all citizens. No man who is a leader of the race, would dare say that the Negro is satisfied with anything less; even though we may be forced to accept less on account of the accident of our birth, we must let the world know that WE ARE NOT SATISFIED.—Exchange. The appointment of a Negro to assures us of some real news from the Our readers may now look forward to filled with fresh news from the firing exploits of the colored soldier need as nationalities. We are gradually comin THE GROWTH AND SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY The appointment of a Negro to the position of War Correspondent assures us of some real news from the front, concerning the colored soldiers. Our readers may now look forward to the time when race papers will be filled with fresh news from the firing line. This is as it should be. The exploits of the colored soldier need as much publicity as do those of other nationalities. We are gradually coming into our own. "In all directions are gulfs and yawning abysses, the ground of society cracking, the fire showing thru, the old ties giving way beneath the strain, and the great pent heart heaving as though it would break, at the sound of world-democracy." It is difficult to believe that these prophetic lines were written by E. Castelar two years before Europe's great struggle. If there is any compensation to emerge from this hideous and bloody contest, it must be found in the word—democracy. Democracy is a form of government in which power rests with the body of citizens. There are six underlying principles in a true democratic government:—equality, writ of habeas corpus, right of trial by jury, freedom of speech and of the press, and absolute publicity of state affairs. History has not been an aimless repetition of despotism following anarchy. Sweeping back and forth with many a curve, it shows a constant flow toward universal truth and justice. The democracy of the ancient world is distinguished from medieval forms. In antiquity it was associated with the city. There was no system of representation by which the people spread over extensive territories could send delegates. A large number of slaves who had no political and few civil rights existed. Ancient democracy attained its highest development in Athens just before the Peloponnesian War; which resulted in the overthrow of Athenian democracy. Quiescent for about two hundred years after the reforms of the fourth century, B. C., a desire for freedom reigned at the time of the Gracchi and ended with the triumph of Julius Caesar. But this triumph ended the republic, and there resulted a permanent rule by an autocrat. With the growth of medieval republics began 'a democratic movement similar to that of ancient times. It differed in that slavery ceased to be an important factor and the development of the cities was now affected by the feudal states which had now risen. Modern democracy does not consist of a body of men limited in number, but of millions of men inhabiting extensive countries sharing in their governing, appreciating the "joy in widest commonality spread." This is the result of a gradual growth through centuries of severe inevitable struggles. In Europe democracy began, and there its battle is now being fought. Its first great battle, Margarten, was fought in Switzerland in 1315—liberty's red dawn came just a century after England's Magna Charta, which organized and recognized liberty through law on which English freedom rests wherever English is spoken. In thirteen seventeen Holland won its freedom. These countries that battled for their freedom were the beacon lights of the future. How many of these lights of six centuries ago were to flame, flicker and fade? THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING POLITICS AGAIN BETWEEN TWO FIRES A NEGRO WAR CORRESPONDENT Addressing Negro audiences, since the institution, usually find themselves between describing what this war means to the so application to the colored man. So of their time in apologizing for the people of this country by the whites, Negro race. This of course, is very eme. the members of our race who are placed called upon to speak to their own are patriotic, loyal, and anxious to do fight for Democracy, by conversations, blogize for the wrongs done to their eating conditions. In either event, they no more for our race by removing the need to work under. Unless we have it means equal rights, equal duties, ens. race, would dare say that the Negro is tough we may be forced to accept less, we must let the world know that in the position of War Correspondent front, concerning the colored soldiers, so the time when race papers will be line. This is as it should be. The is much publicity as do those of other ing into our own. The states of Italy and provinces of Spain had control over their taxes and administrations. These countries were gaining their freedom so rapidly, it seemed as if they were to extend over all southern Europe. In 1588 this vision vanished when the Spanish Armada was defeated. With nothing to stay universal despotism, Philip II tried to conquer England. The eastern end of the Mediterranean was held by Turkey and the western by Spain. The free Italian states were controlled. France was a despotism; Germany was divided into many states. Hohenzollern established his personal government which in our day dominates all Germany and central Europe from the Baltic and North seas to the Aegean. Of organized freedom nothing was left but the countries of Switzerland, Holland and England. In 1789 came the great event in the evolution of democracy, the French Revolution. Though it failed for the time, it spread everywhere new ideas—shook the old system to its foundation and raised questions that could never again be set aside. Soon afterwards Napoleon began his expeditions. He accomplished such stupendous undertakings that the world was startled at his successes. He became dictator, ruler and emperor of France. He hoped to become the sole ruler over the whole continent of Europe, but the desire for justice and individual rights was too strong. The result was his overwhelming and disastrous defeat in June, 1815, at Waterloo. The smoke had hardly cleared from the fields of Napoleon, when Greece and Roumania rose for their independence. To the independence of Greece there succeeded all the changes of the last hundred years. Now absolute despotism is almost unknown in Europe and in most of Asia and Africa. In the year 1620, across the great seas of America came a small band of people. Denied justice and freedom, they came to this country so that they might establish self-government and freedom for themselves. "Freedom is the one purport wisely aimed at, or unwisely, of all man's struggles, tollings, and sufferings on this earth." This feeling was in the souls of the men of the Revolutionary War who were the first to fight in the modern wars for democracy. This same vision dominated the souls of the men in 1861 who poured to the front, moved by an unquenchable and instinctive love for national unity and a great commonwealth of liberty and happiness. Now no country in North or South America is under an absolute despotic head. The evolution of American democracy has been the foundation of liberty in many countries. Along with a strong democratic government there must be democracy in other principles. True democracy is best when all men and women have an equal share in religion, society, education and industry. A new impetus to the continued growth and spread of democracy came with the entrance of the United States into Europe's conflict. This vision came to the people of the United States; to put aside peace and prosperity for themselves to win justice. Sir:—May I have the privilege of saying a few words through the columns of your valuable paper to the Republican voters of the State? On Tuesday, September 24th at 2 P.M. I, attended the Republican County committee meeting which was held in the K. of P. hall on East Washington street. I enjoyed the meeting very much, especially the short speeches made by the different candidates. We should attend all meetings that are open to active Republican workers, as it keeps us in touch with the leaders of the party. The speeches were to the point, advocating a clean government and equal rights to all. I am sorry we did not have more colored people out to hear the wonderful speech made by Mr. Lilly White. He stated that he had been in this valley 40 years and if he was elected to the House of Representatives, he would do his duty in helping to change the laws to make Arizona the State it should be. He made a strong point, according to my way of thinking. We know that the laws must be changed to hold the GOOD CITIZENS who are coming into our community every day. After the meeting was over, I could see plainly why the Democrats are in power. The Republican party is weak-kneed. They have not the confidence in themselves that a party should have and they are too sympathetic. On the other hand, the Democratic party is fearless and always out to win. Not so with our Republicans, they are less valiant and sadly lacking in moral courage. With all due respect to Miss Edith Jacobs as candidate for county recorder on the Democratic ticket, Mrs. Pauline O'Neil, Judge Wheeler and a few more "favorite" Democrats; let them run on the ticket of their choice. Complete the Republican ticket with good, clean Republican opponents and see if the members of the party will not support a Republican before they will a Democrat. This done, when we start the work for Governor we can work for the entire Republican ticket. Have we not a Republican leader in the community among our people who can call a mass meeting and begin placing the candidates before the people? This should be done in order that by the time the election takes place they will have had opportunity to express themselves for or against the Race and we will know them. How many of you voters have registered? If you have a vote in the coming election DON'T FAIL TO REGISTER. When you register, you place a hammer in your hand and you can either build or tear down with the same. Let us get together and organize so we can use this hammer to better conditions in the state, county and community in which we live. Remember that Arizona has not had a Republican Governor since she has been admitted to statehood and if we help elect one, I know it will mean better conditions for Negro schools in the State. Let us all get together and support a STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET and Tom Campbell will be our next Governor. MRS. JESSIE JAMES. A Republican Worker. EDITOR'S NOTE: These columns are open to all readers of the Tribune, Democrat and Republican alike and we do not comment on such matter. WON'T TRADE WAR FOR GREAT RICHES Camp Sevier, Greenville, S.

Hughes has been nominated in the primaries as the Republican nominee for the Ohio Legislature from Franklin County. self-government, and freedom for the whole world. "God, who gavest men eyes to see a dream; God, who gavest men' hearts to follow the gleam; God, who gavest men stars to find heaven by; God, who madest men glad at need to die; Lord, from the hills again we hear thy drum! God, who lovest free men, Lead on—we come." Self-governing humanity has been summoned to this call and it stands as a whole against autocracy. The least important individual in every nation has been called at this crisis to help men make the world a fit place for all men to live in, and to make the world safe for a democracy not of theory, but safe for a democracy of fact.
