PROMINENT CHURCHMAN VISITS PHOENIX PHOENIX Campaign Launched By Republican Party VOL. 1. NO. 29 PROMI Campaign I. By Repu With every county represented except Apache, Republican leaders from all over the state gathered in Phoenix Monday and Tuesday to attend the first meeting of the new state committee and the Republican party council. J. L. Hubbell, former state chairman, veteran leader of the Republicans in Apache county, was absent for the first time in many years on account of illness. The State Committee organized Monday by re-electing Albert M. Sames of Douglas state chairman and Andrew Baumert of Phoenix secretary. W. C. Foster, acting treasurer in the last campaign, was named as treasurer. J. Gran Compton, a Southern Pacific conductor, who resides in Tucson, was nominated for corporation commissioner, and Charles W. Fairfield, an accountant of Winslow, was nominated for state auditor. Harry Kay of Phoenix was nominated for secretary of state. The state committee sent greetings to Lieutenant Maddock, the nominee for congress, who is in France, and also sent greetings to Mr. Hubbell, the former state chairman, who was detained on account of illness. Governor Tom Campbell was given an ovation at the meeting Monday afternoon when he addressed the committee. Others who spoke were R. E. Morison of Prescott, E. S. Clark of Prescott, Prof. H. E. Matthews of Mesa, candidate for superintendent of public instruction; Judge A. J. Jayne, candidate for judge of the Supreme Court, and David Benshimol of Douglas, candidate for attorney general.

Albert M. Sames, state chairman, was chosen chairman of the party council, and Andrew Baumert, Jr., secretary. Judge Richard E. Sloan, chairman of the committee on platform miresolutions, presented the party platform, which was adopted: It declares in favor of prosecution of the war to a complete victory; points with pride to the support given the present administration by the Republicans in Congress; denounces the I. W. W. and the practice of candidates for office of catering to this organization; expresses the conviction that the decision of the Supreme Court in the contest case was not in accord with the facts and strongly indorses Governor Campbell for re-election. The platform hails Thomas Maddock (Continued on Page 2) 10,000 N. Y. BARS TO CLOSE OCT. 1 New York, Sept. 30.—Prediction is made by Colonel Jacob Ruppert,' head of one of the largest brewing concerns in this city, that two-thirds of the city's 15,000 saloons will close October 1, as a result of the ban placed on brewing after December 1. "I cannot make any estimate of the value of the real estate which will be affected," added Ruppert, "but there will be a loss in liquor tax revenue in this State of nearly $13,000,000 a year for at least a few years, in addition to the loss in other state and federal taxes." CARRIES OFFICE IN TRUNK Cleveland, Ohio.—About the smallest office known will be taken to Italy by the Cleveland contingent which is going across to wage a fight on tuberculosis. The portable office will be built in a specially designed trunk and will contain a filing cabinet, typewriter and other office equipment. GETS ON WRONG TRAIN BALTIMORE, Md., Sept.—Asserting that the reason he had carried three pint bottles of whisky into Camp Meade was that he had gotten on the wrong train, Edward Fry (Colored) was held in $50 bail for the federal grand jury by United States Commissioner Supplee. Fry said he was going to his home in North Carolina to visit his wife, and that he went to the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis station and purchased a ticket for Washington. As he could not read, he said, he had boarded the wrong train. GET-BICH-QUICK SCHEME OPENS PRISON DOORS MACON, Ga., Sept.—Charged with having collected hundreds of dollars from Negroes under the guise of representing the Red Cross, E. W. Callaway, a Tifton Negro, has been arrested as an imposter and is now in jail at Albany. District Attorney Donaldson stated that the Negro worked on the credulity of the members of the Negro Masonic lodges by displaying a card purported to be signed by President Wilson urging the Negroes to contribute liberally to the Red Cross funds and designating Callaway as an authorized agent to make collections. The card, according to the district attorney, is a forgery, and the Negro's case will be presented to the next grand jury. Laredo, Texas, Sept. 30.—Mexico is in a better condition to feed its poor people at this time than in several years past, according to advices brought here by arrivals from that country. One of the best wheat crops in the history of the country is being harvested, while the corn crop is the heaviest known in years. The lower class of Mexicans depend entirely on corn for their breadstuffs, as the tortilla, the mainstay of the poorer Mexicans, is made of soaked and ground corn into a favorite edible. HONOR PRISONERS SEE BALL GAME New York, Sept 30. Without a single guard or attendant to watch over them all the inmates of the new model Westchester county penitentiary in Elmsford were turned loose recently. They witnessed a thrilling game of baseball between the two inmate teamss several hundred feet from the prison building. It has no walls or fences. All returned safely after being out on their honor for two hours. New York, Sept. 30.—Boy Scouts of America have sold more than $17,000,000 worth of war savings stamps, it was announced today at headquarters of the organization here. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY FREEDOM AND JUSTICE ARE SELDOM GRANTED UNLESS ASKED FOR By D. C. Rolf Has the Negro ever asked for anything? First, in the British oppression and American independence when the Negro was asked to decide, he forgot the laws and customs that discriminate against him, but he was the first to shed his blood that the white American may enjoy liberty for ever, although his race remained in slavery. When the test of patriotism came in 1814 at New Orleans, he was asked to help. When there were no bales of cotton to build breastworks, the Negro requested that their bodies be used instead; but never asked for the yoke to be lifted from his neck. When that black hero was given the flag and was told to bring honor for America, his reply was, "If not I will report to God why." When he fell in despair his last sign to his comrade was "I have fallen in despair, but you go on to victory." Have we ever given such a lesson to our race? We will hold the heads of our wives in the washtubs and our daughters' hands chained to white baby carriages, and put our foot on the neck of our sons and continue through the intelligent, to hold the race down. That causes the Negro to think he is weak. When will he be strong? Will it be next week, next year, or will it be when the law will entirely bar the Negro from the polls? We are not weak if we make proper use of those means which the God of nature has placed in our power, and that is the ballot. With this weapon we can fight our way to citizenship. Do we stop to think that one-third of the business of our city is paid off by the labor and from the hands of the race to the other race? Are we not schooling boys and girls to do the same work? Why will we rob them of every job that we are preparing for them to fill? Another question: After fifty years of American semi-freedom, what is the present status of the Negro woman? I wish to say emphatically that the colored woman is beyond all reasonable doubt, a fixture in the social economy of the nation. But all that prevents her from succeeding is that her men do not praise her virtue, her men do not prize virtue and purity as the mother of a great race of future American citizens. Does the Negro make jobs? Thousands of our Negro men are hanging on the street corners waiting for someone to find labor for him. Brother, you must get off the street corner; leave the play house; leave the loafer rendezvous the ideal pyramid, and shake off your mantle of semi-slavery and take your proper place in the world's society, contributing to the glory of Christian citizenship, and expand all reforms until the influence of happiness and complete freedom shall spread and cover this broad land as the waters cover the mighty deep, and let us pull our souls off of the animal plains and put them on the mountain heights of a soul life and then we will receive what our boys are fighting for—freedom and justice. PURSE, PAPERS, $100 SHOW HONESTY LIVES Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 30.—E. S. Earhart, of the legal department of the Kansas City Railway company has not lost faith in human nature—although he was tempted to do so. The latter part of June he lost a pocketbook containing some valuable papers and $100 in money. The other day he received an envelope marked "Cafeteria De Luxe", containing the lost pocketbook with the papers and money intact. Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 30.—Mayor A. W. Craver of this city has appointed a "loafer commissioner." Men who are to lazy to work or too frightened to fight will be taken into custody by the commissioner, who will see that they get work in or out of jail. He will be assisted by several deputies. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, OCTOBER 5, 1918. CHMAN SPINELESS LEADERSHIP By E. J. Moore No race can accomplish anything worth while with a spineless leadership. In fact, such a leadership as worse than no leadership at all. The Negro Race certainly has its share of spineless leaders, and then some. Some of them, as Roosevelt puts it, "haven't the backbone of a cuttle fish." They will neither take a position for or against anything. And when the interest of the race is at stake and their service and influence are needed most, they at once fall into innocuous desuetude. The Negro Race needs leaders who have backbone, and who are not afraid to stand up for what is right, in the face even of adverse criticism. Such a leader will merit and eventually get the respect of all fair-minded people, be they black or white. But the palliator and belly-crawler should receive the contempt of everyone, for it is only presenting things in their true light and discussing them in a passionate manner can a clear understanding be reached. A leader who has the backbone will lose no opportunity in securing justice and fair treatment for the unfortunate members of the race whenever and wherever occasion demands it. But if he holds back what the public will say instead of striking out fearlessly, nothing will be accomplished. A strong leader who is not afraid to stand up and be counted in a sober and sane manner for justice and fair play, can always count on support from the public. Too often our leaders sit idly by, waiting for something to turn up instead of getting busy and turning up something themselves. People are not going to be more interested in us than we are in ourselves. And so often we are deprived of what is justly due us because of a spineless leadership that would lose out in a contest with an empty sack, "standing up." WAR MAKING IDEAL SOLDIER HUSBANDS Camp Lewis, Wash.—Young women who are contemplating marriage will be interested in knowing what their future husbands, now in the army, will be accustomed to when they return to civil life. The army kitchen floor must be clean. General orders, issued at Camp Lewis, say so. The scrubbing and drying work will be done every day by teams of two men each. The pantry must be cleaned every day. Dishes on the shelves must be taken off, washed, dried and put back in order. A cook will be detailed to scrub the icebox daily. One cook will give the ranges a thorough cleaning, both inside and out. The dining room orderly and two kitchen police will be detailed daily to scrub the doors, walls, window frames, dining tables, seats and tables. The windows must be kept clean. PASTOR'S SIGN "TO HELL WITH KAISER" Columbus, O.—T. Alfred Fleming, state fire marshal, is a minister and regularly fills his charge. This fact, however, does not prevent him from expressing the sentiment of Americans generally. Pasted on the desk as you enter the reception room is a sentence in big, red letters. It reads: "To Hell with the Kaiser." WOMEN PHYSICIANS PROVE PATRIOTIC CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 30.—The woman physician practicing in Cleveland has volunteered for war service at home or abroad, it was learned today. A survey just made public here shows that there are thirty women physicians in active practice here. They will be used either in the Medical Reserve Corps or the Volunteer Medical Service Corps. $5,000 GIRL RECRUITS WILL REPLACE MEN Paris, Sept. 30.—Miss Elsie Gunther, chief of the female labor bureau of the American expeditionary force, has gone to the United States to recruit 5,000 American girl clerks to release men for military service. Miss Gunther will seek to enlist college girls. TRIBUNE C. M. E. Conference Closes One Of Most Successful Sessions In The History Of Phoenix CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 30.—The Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of a local Baptist church, is spending his vacation as a worker in a munition factory here, helping make shell casings. The Rev. Mr. Bailey offered his services to the government at the outbreak of the war as a chaplain, but his offer was not accepted. "If I cannot go as chaplain to administer to our boys overseas I can help furnish them with the weapons of war," is the way he expressed it. OKLAHOMANS FIND PREHISTORIC BONES Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 30.—A portion of the skeleton of some prehistoric animal that roamed the prairies of Oklahoma some fifty thousand years ago was discovered near Clinton and sent to the State Historical Society. The bones consist of a huge socket joint and a tooth six inches thick and a foot long. They are the largest ever found in the State and are said to be from a branch of the elephant family. HE IS FREED AFTER KILLING WHITE MAN DURHAM, N. C., Sept.—For the first time in the history of Durham county, a verdict was rendered in favor of a Colored man, Charles Thompson, who was charged with the murder of Louis Heflin, foreman of the Keith sawmills, in the eastern part of the county. Self-defense was the plea entered by the counsel for Thompson. It appeared that Heflin was advancing on Thompson with a knife when the fatal shot was fired. A charge of second degree murder was placed against the slayer. Murder in the first degree was not entertained. A DESERTER BURNED HIS U. S. UNIFORM ATLANTA, Sept.—Miller Johnson, a Negro, who lives at 232 Grant street, was arrested by Policemen Grasham and Barker on the charge of being a deserter from the army and destroying his uniform. The officers allege that he deserted from Camp Wheeler about three months ago and burned up his uniform. As it is strictly against government orders to destroy any government property, serious charges may be made against Johnson other than desertion. Johnson was taken by surprise by the officers, who placed the handcuffs around his wrists while he was asleep. AUTHORITIES PLAN TO PREVENT LYNCHINGS BARBOURSVILLE, Ky., Sept.—A heavy guard was placed around the Knox county jail to prevent the threatened lynching of William Castle, a Negro, who is charged with having shot and killed Oliver Broughton, a soldier stationed at Camp Taylor and home on a five-day leave. Broughton, it is said, stepped on Castle's foot and the latter, it is charged, pulled a revolver and shot Broughton through the chest. Castle, in trying to escape from the pollee, was shot through the arm. Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 30.—The Rev. F. H. Schott, pastor of Point Place Union church, has enlisted. He says he is not going into the army to carry a Bible, but to carry a gun. It is the Reverend Schott's belief that he can do more for civilization by killing off a few German opponents to civilization than he can by preaching to the boys who are killing the Huns. CHURCHMEN ARE ORDERED TO LISTEN TO SERMON ON UNITY St. Louis, Mo.—The North Galilee Negro Baptist church of this city is having trouble. As usual, when trouble occurred it split into two factions. The matter went to court. An injunction was sought to prevent the pastor, the Rev. J. Wesley Hall, from again entering the church. Witnesses said if the injunction was not granted half the congregation would be in their graves—the other half in jail. The judge scratched his head, then ordered each side to select a pastor, who, together are to select a third pastor, who is to act as peace maker and preach a sermon on the first verse of the one hundred and thirty-third Psalm: "Behold, how blessed it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." INDIAN KILLS HUNS; CITED FOR VALOR Pierre, S. D.—Joe Young Hawk is the latest Indian to be mentioned in press dispatches for displaying conspicuous bravery in action. Young Hawk was captured by the Germans and made his escape by killing three of his captors and taking the other two prisoners. Young Hawk is a Creek Indian and his home is at Armstrong, S. D., just across the North Dakota border. He has a cousin, Philip Spotted Horse, who is now attending the Pierre Indian school and whom he has visited on several occasions. COLORED SAILOR PROVES HERO IN NAVAL BATTLE Waco, Tex., Sept. 30.—Waco is the home of a hero who has received a medal for good behavior during an encounter with a German submarine off the Atlantic coast, according to letters received by W. F. Sonneman from William Crane, a young Negro, formerly in Mr. Sonneman's employ. Crane's conduct of the battle in which he says he was wounded is somewhat meagre. "I cannot tell how or when I was wounded," he states, "because in doing so I would be punished for violating the law. All I can say is that it was in a battle with a German sub and that the Huns got the worst of it. "The doctor will have to remove some shattered bones, but I think I will soon be able to go back on duty, as I am now able to get around with help. I thought I was a 'goner,' but I did my part and won a medal." Crane expresses in a feeling manner the kindnesses shown him and the encouragement given him by Mr. and Mrs. Sonneman and continues: "As soon as I have recovered I am to be examined and if I pass I will be a chief petty officer and I will be very proud to be the only Negro chief in the Navy." HE WOULDN'T OBJECT SAN RAFAEL, Sept.—A Negro who was arrested in San Rafael a few days ago for having parked his automobile on the wrong side of the street was asked by a justice of the peace if he would like to serve a sentence of thirty days in the county jail. "Go as far as you like, Jedge," he replied. "Ah'm driver for Warden Johnston at the state prison and am serving life now, and thirty days moah don't make much difference." TAKE GERMAN WOMEN IN FIGHTING LINES KENOSHA, Wis., Sept. 24.—John E. Mahoney, serving with the 107th military police on the western front, in a letter to relatives declares German women wearing the regular uniforms of the army have been taken prisoner by the American units. He says they had cut their hair short and when captured were fighting in the regular lines. 5 CENTS A COPY; $2 A YEAR OENIX oses ul Sessions Of Phoenix The California annual conference of the C. M. E. church convened in this city on the 25th of September and many notable characters were present. Bishop C. H. Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., was the presiding bishop. He was accompanied by his wife and daughter, two accomplished young women, who by their literary and musical contributions helped wonderfully in making the conference a grand success. A special feature of this conference was a patriotic mass meeting Sunday afternoon, Sept. 29 at which addresses were made by Bishop C. H. Phillips, W. E. Smith, Y. M. C. A. secretary in war work at Columbus, N. M., and Prof. C. C. Simmons of Tucson. The Bishop's wife read an interesting paper on "The Origin of the Star Spanglad Banner," and his daughter sang a solo, "When Our Boys Come Home." The addresses emphasized the part our boys are taking in this great war for humanity and impressed their hearers with the necessity for buying Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps to support these boys. Bishop C. H. Phillips is a member of the committee of one hundred colored leaders appointed by the war department to state the nation's war aims to the Negro Race. The meeting here was one of the most enthusiastic ever witnessed in the city. Bishop Phillips knows how to arouse that loyalty and patriotism which every Negro possesses, but sometimes fails to manifest openly. TRAVELING THE ROAD TO FAME I have heard men who have traveled over the rugged road to fame Is, if you would the journey make, you must like your mother-in-law. Along with you be sure to take plenty of grit within your craw. You will cross a few smooth places and a plenty that are rocks; You will encounter stern, hard faces, and lots of stumbling blocks; You will meet with things that will stagger you as a blow would to the jaw; That will bring on more discouragements than you get from mother-in-law. You will meet those who will tell you that your journey is in vain; They will discourage every step you make along the road to fame. Remember as you pass each foe you have removed another flaw. That will not each day you oppose like dear old mother-in-law. You need not look for roses as you pass along the road. Do not expect your friends to push and help you wag your load. For through a path of thistles you surely will have to draw Yourself along the road to fame with the grit of mother-in-law. your journey you'd disdain Because the road is rugged and your efforts seem in vain Remember that our great men are those who never saw Any greater hope as their reward than was found in mother-in-law. Do not give up the journey you have started to attain. For great will be the blessings that the world will to you bring; Due credit which you never would have got from dear old mother-in-law. Turkey is starving, Germany pinched and Austria rioting for food. The Allies are well fed and full of fight, thanks to our Uncle Sam who invited them to sit down to his table a year ago—he has been passing around the victuals ever since.

Of course, we need the law, We need even more, the honest and fearless enforcement of the law, enforcement in a spirit of absolute fair play to all men, showing favoritism to none, doing justice to each.—Theodore Roosevelt. eee atte ttttntnechettttitatnttetttntettntntn tet ttt titi CHIVALRY Webster says Chivalry means: “Respect for womanly dignity and chastity; or polite and deferential attention to women.” We mention this because of certain things which came to our notice on last Sunday, The . M. E. conference was in session at the church, corner Seventh and Jeffer- son streets and as everyone knows, this is a very small building, so that on ‘an occasion of this kind, standing room is always at a premium. Sunday ‘afternoon at the patriotic mass meeting, presided over by Bishop Phillips, the house was packed and jammed. Young men and middle-aged men came early and secured seats so as to be able to enjoy the entire program. Very well. Ladies came later and there were no seats for them. We counted twenty young, spry, husky men who retained their seats and permitted the ladies to stand. Now mind you, some of these women were old enough to be mothers of some of these men, yet they refused to give up their com- fortable seats, Gentlemen, until we learn to have greater respect for our women, we shall always be a downtrodden race, Had this been a gathering of Mexicans, Japanese or Indians; not a man would have remained in his seat while a lady stood. But we, who boast a civilization greater than either of these, fail to give our women the respect due them, This does not apply to the few who reluctantly gave up their seats when some woman was bold enough to ask him for his seat; but it does apply to all young and middle aged men who retained their seats throughout the meeting. A man who possesses an ounce of chivalry will not remain seated and permit women to stand. This applies in all public places. Ask any man who has a conscience. We have reasons to believe that the war is now in its last stage. The mighty war machine of the barbarous kaiser is crumbling very fast. Our allies seem to have a better machine now, and the use they are making of it is having a demoralizing effect on the haughty Hun. The much vaunted Hindenburg line has been reached in several places, it has been reached and pierced. The unified command of the allies is working admirably. The strategy of Foch is not matched by any one the other side. The German high command seems to be puzzled as to what will next take place, when and where. Then the fighting qualities of the American soldiers seem to have put new life into all who fight on that side. The Serbs have come back into the fight good and strong and the Bulgars are on the run. Over in Palestine the Turks have been almost annihilated. The Austrians are tired and hungry and would have peace. They are held by the indefatigable Italian soldiers and it seems now that Venice is safe. Paris is surely French, for Germany, the chief of all, has seen her best soldiers cut to pieces and thrown back at the Marne. All goes hard with us but it goes well. If we be strong and strike while we may, the fight will not be long. Let’s all of us, white and black rich and poor, strike as one man, not tomorrow, but today—today while the enemy is on the go. few. It is very natural that it would. But we must not stake too much on few. It is very natural that it would. But we must not stake 00 much on ‘what shall come to us because of our participation in the war, for what we are doing in this war is just what we have done in all wars into which the country has been drawn. He will get out of this just what he has gotten out of others in which he has fought. He will not be rewarded so much for what he does in war times—for what he is worth in war times—tor what he is worth in war—as for what he did—for what he was worth in peace times. One need not think that he can idle around in ignorance, spend all he makes for naught, never be in any way an asset to the city or community, have nothing and then be given the samé place as will be given to those who lift themselves and others. If we would have what others have, we must do what others do in peace times as well as in war times. This may not seem sound to some, but it is the only logical conclusion one can reach, 'To some extent we are a backward race, very thoughtless at times—at most all times, not all of us, but some of us and the most of us. Some who fight “over there” like “devils” stood for nothing before they were called to arms; not all of them, but some.of them and the most of them. We have many among us who wil not help lift the race and they themselves will not be lifted. They make to spend for pleasure. They will not become property owners and fixed .in the community in the civil, social, and financial affairs. If we would be rec- ‘ognized as others are, we must get what others have and be what others are; not only fight like devils (others) but work and save. We must remember that we get nothing that is worth while unless we ourselves are worth while. We must work up to what we want. If we be the same after the war that we were before the war, then we'll get the same. If we prepare ourselves Something will come. Let us do our duty. as citizens and in due time that which citizens are entitled to will come to us, ‘AGE TWO CHIVALRY (Continued from page 1) a8 a candidate untainted by pacifism and one who has proved his patriot- ism and efficiency by his work in France. ‘The platform as adopted is as fol- lows: PLATFORM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF ARIZONA, 1918 The Republican party council duly assembled at the capitol in Phoenix on the first day of October, 1918, hereby adopts the following program: The Republican party of the State of Arizona declares that the employ- ment of the entire man power, and of all the physical, financial and indus- trial resources of the nation in the prosecution of the war to a complete vietory, transcends all other questions before the State and the Nation. We declare that it is the supreme task of the civilized world to crush the Ger- muan military autocracy until it has ceased to be a menace. We demand vietory so complete and conclusive that it will insure civilization against nother war toY Teutoric domination. We accord to the brave men of our country who have already laid down their lives for the cause of liberty, to those who are fighting for us overseas, and to tnose who are about to go, the honor and gratitude they so richly deserve, and we hail with pride the splendid victories already achieved by American arms, We are proud of those leaders and members of the Republican party in Congress who have given such splen- did suport to the present administra- tion and have rendered such effective aid i nthe enactment of the great war measures, We deplore the disposition wherever manifest to make the war a partisan affair an dto capitalize po- litieally war activities. We insist that the business of war upon which the country is now engaged is the business of all the people of this land irres. pective of political affiliations. _ We condemn the I. W. W. whose ob- Ject it is to embarrass the nation in the prosecution of the war. We main: tain that there is no place in the ‘country today for those disloyal in act teachings or thought. We abhor the tendency among some officials of the state “ands candidates tor office, to THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING cater to those who are atempting to impede the efficieney of the nation in its present struggle. ; We contend that Hom Thomas E. Campbell was duly elected Governor of Arizona in 1916 by the voters of the state. We are convinced that the decision of the court, by which he was deprived of his office and the compensation for his services, was purely a political one and not in ac- cord with the facts in the case. We are satisfied that the great majority of the people of Arizona are convinced that he was legally elected to that office and that, in a sense of fair play, they will re-elect him by an over- whelming majority. By the re-election of Governor Campbell ,a government that shall be marked by efficiency and economy, by a broad and impartial consideration that shall be given to the claims of every interest and of every section and, above all, to the loyalty of the National Government the times so im- peratively demand, will be assured to the people of the state. We urge in this connection the im- portance of the election of our entire state ticket and of a legislature that will be in accord with the state ad- ministration in its effort to promote the ends of good government. We present as our candidate for our representative in congress one whose Americanism is untainted by pacifism; one who has never doubted the right- eousness of American participation in the war; one who proves his faith by his works, and who is fighting in France impelled wholly by sense of duty and love of country. ‘Thomas Maddock is splendidly quat- ified by character, energy and ability to represent our great state in the House of Representatives in times of Peace. The experience he has gained as one of our gallant and victorious American Army especially fits him to render services of a high order at this time both to the state and to the na- tion. We commend him to the pa- triotie people of the state in the full- est confidence that his candidacy will Meet with \their approval and be fol- lowed by his election.

FOCH'S DECALOGUE FOR SOL- DIERS GOOD FOR CITIZENS AND SCHOOL CHILDREN et at Washington has issued a jour- ‘nal to be known as the “National School Service’ *to be employed by teachers in the public schools of the country. This is an important step in the right direction. Every nila in the land should know why the great American people are engaged in this war. This war is the biggest thing, that has ever happened in history. It is the concern of every child as wel as every adult, The destinies of all,) the youngest and the oldest, are af- fected by its progress and its end. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters— all are taking a part one way or an- other. ‘The man or woman who is blind to what is taking place, who. stops his or her ears and covers his or eyes, hears not and sees not, is hardly worthy of a place in the sun. It is not only important that we study the war, but it is important that we find a good reason for believing that our cause is just—that we should win. | ‘The place to begin the teaching is in the public school. Our children | must know why we are fighting. Our | public schools are the mosb important | agencies for advancing democracy. It is one of the most thrilling and de- lightful aspects of American life to note the democratic spirit which pre- ails in the lower grades of our |schools. Here we see white children and black children, red children and yellow children playing side by side. We speak of those schools where there 'is no separation on account of race— and here we observe: the true demo- | cratic spirit. | The place to stimulate the spirit of | patriotism is in the public school, Let us keep the fire burning. If this war | continues long, and no man is wise | enough to tell just how long it will j continus, we will all need the stern lessons taught us just as they are | taught in the schools. We must learn to love our country with greater in- tensity. We must adopt in private life ine decalogue given out by the great- est military general of modern times. | We must make it the creed of every | boy and every girl, of every ‘man and |every woman, These ten command: | ments embody the highest ideals of soldierly conduet. General Foch says |t0 his soldiers: | Keep your eyes and ears ready and | Your: mouth in the safety noteh, for it | is your soldierly duty to see and hear clearly, but as a rule you should be heard mainly in the sentry challenges | or the charging cheer. Obey orders first, and if still alive Kick afterwards, if you have been wronged. | Keep your arms and equipment clean and in good order; treat your | autnats kindly and fairly and your | motor or other machine as though it belonged to you and was the only one in the world. Do not waste your am- munition, your gas, your food, your time, nor your opportunity, | Never try to fire an empty gun nor | fire at an empty trench, but when you | shoot, shoot to kill, and forget not | that at close quarters a bayonet beats | a bullet. | Tell the truth squarely, face the | music, and take your punishment like }a man; for a good soldier won't lie, he doesn’t sulk and is no squealer. Be merciful to the women of your foe and shame them not, for you are |a man; pity and shield the children in your captured territory, for you were ‘once a helpless child. Bear in mind that the enemy is you: enemy and the enemy of humanity un- til he is killed or captured; then he is your dead brother or your fellow-sol- dier beaten or ashamed, whom you should no further humiliate. Do your best to keep your head cleat and cool, your body clean and com fortable and your feet in good condi: tion, for you think with your head, fight with your body and march with | your feet. Be of good cheer and high courage; shirk neither work nor danger; suffer in silence and cheer the comrade at your side with a smile. Dread defeat, but not wounds; feat | dishonor, but not death, and die game | and whatever the task, remember the | sous of the division, “It Shall Be | Done.” AMERICA’S PROMISE “The American people are gladly willing to make sacrifice in consump- tion and production of foodstuffs that will maintain the health, comfort and courage of the people of the allied countries. We are, in fact, eating at a common table with them.” ‘The above message from President Wilson was delivered by the U. S&S. Food Administration to the Allied Food Controllers’ Conference in London in ‘July. America, during the last twelve months has exported 10,000,000 tons of foodstuffs. If it should become neces- sary she can increase this amount to 18,000,000 tons during the next twelve ‘months. This would mean a million and one-half tons a month. | To accomplish. this will mean care ful economy and no waste. It will mean intensive planting and increased harvesting. America cannot a moment forget ‘that if she is to share the victory she must ship her food. WHERE THE KAISER ERRED (Atlanta Constitution ) “Now is your chance ta settle your Negro problem,’ ‘suggested the Kaiser, half facetiously, to Dr. Davis, soon af- ter the United States entered the war. “If America insists upon coming in- to the war,’ "he went on, “why doesn’t she send her Negroes across and let us shoot them down?” _ While not being influenced by Wil- helm’s suggestion, we have sent our Negroes “across”—some thousands of them, at any rate—but to date mighty few of them have been shot down by William and his Huns. Our Negroes needed no urging to go. What is more, they seemed to dread Not in the least the boasted fate that Was in store for them. Since they have been over there they have not shrunk from their duty, and while ‘their duty has taken them into some of the very places where the Huns were the thickest, surprisingly few of them have been shot down. Probably the most plausible explana- [tion of this lies in the fact that a Hun cannot shoot well while running! Es- pecially while running from the target! In other words, in every engagement the Negro troops have had with the Kaiser's outlaws the latter have been put to rout! Our Negro troops have to date not given one foot of ground. Just the other day Negro troops drove the Germans helter-skelter out of a French village, and rescued sever- al French civilians who were being held prisoner there. And the rescued Frenchmen declared that the Germans were thoroughly surprised to find themselves confronted by colored Am- ericans—ot whom they stand in dread by reason of an idea they have that “the American Negroes cut off the Pes of their prisoners.” Soon after they got into the fight- ing a group of cornered Huns treach- erously yelled “kamerad!” and when taken prisoners opened fire upon the unsuspecting captors; and now, it is said, the Negroes fight all the more fiercely in their determination to avenge that piece of cowardly German deceit! And who will blamé them? Anyhow, as upon numerous other occasions, when the Hun kaiser belit- tled our Negro troops to Dr. Davis, and laughingly boasted about how his barbarous minions would “shoot them down,” it is plainly to be seen now that he reckoned without his host.

But the average American has failed to see civilization bleeding to death as each great ship went to the bottom. He has not seen the thread of ships that reaches from our Atlantic ports to England and France and Italy get- ting continually thinner and thinner. He has not realized that the life of this nation hangs on that thread of ships”, say Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur. “America’s record in getting more than a million and a half men across ‘seas is the marvel of all Europe. So ‘wonderfully convoyed are our trans- ports that German submarines have ‘been unable to get them. ° Her present ‘aim, therefore, is to sink the ships Saturday, October 5, 1918 carrying supplies. Our food is vital to Allied success as our men are. | “Our only answer to this must be more food to send. ‘here must be food on the docks to push across as fast as losses occur. There must be 2 solid lane of ships from our shores to those of the Allies. That must be our answer to the German submarine. ‘To keep this lane of ships, there must be no deflection to Java or the Argen- tine only that we may have more sugar than we really need for health ‘or nutrition. There must be no long hauls merely to provide luxury. Wd can do with less sugar and make up ‘the deficit with other food if it will ‘mean more ships to take across sup, ‘plies, men and guns in order to put ‘an end forever to such fiendish work ‘as Germany’s submarine war.” SOCIETY AND LOCAL NEWS Saturday, October 5, 1918. a Mir. and Mrs. Roy Lucas have re i their positions with Jack Bar [ber of this city to accept a more lu e offer from a rich family in Jerome.

Perhaps he has been disappointed in love. Who knows? s ‘The boys of “M" Troop, Tenth Cay- alry, are in Bisbee quite often now since they have found out it is not necessary to have a pass. Bisbee is only nine miles from camp and, of course, it is not necessary to obtain a Tass to go such a short distance. Last Sunday Pvt. Namis R. Hunn, Bernard F, Wilson and EB. Smith were in this city. ‘They say that they are very lonesome and would like some nice young ladies correspond with them. We suspect these boys are looking for life-time housekeepers.

Better conditions exist at the High school this year. Quite a num- ver of new courses have been added. Many of these courses could not be pursued by the colored students here last year. Among the new courses are: Latin, domestic science, auto re- pair and operation, military training, Six boys are taking military training, four boys and one girl are studying Latin, four girls taking ‘domestic sci- ence, six boys studying auto repair and operation. Those studying this course are to be instructed at the dif- ferent garages in town. ‘The freshmen, not being accustomed to the small room and not having any recess, get very noisy after 10 o'clock. This will soon be different, we hope. An epidemic of toothache has invad- ed the ranks of the students the past week. Nearly every one was. suffer- ing with this malady. Class Poet Earl Brown has released one of his latest compositions and we are privileged to publish same, Here goes: The rose is fairest when— "Tis budding new, And hope is brightest when— It dawns from fears; The rose is sweetest when— Washed with morning dew, And love is loveliest when— Embalmed in tears. —Barl Brown, Class Poet.

SHELLS give Investigations by chemists have shown that pits of apricots, peaches, prunes, olives, dates, cherries, plums and the shells of Brazil and hickory nuts, walnuts and butternuts, make the best carbon for the millions of gas masks needed by the American army. _ Not only will this carbon save many lives at the front, but consumption of the fruits from which they come means the utilization of perishable foods, and collection of nuts for their shells will also make possible the use of their meats as food. All pits and shells of the kind spe- cified—none other—should be saved, dried and turned into the nearest Red Cross organization or such receiving stations as may be designated. * __ CLASSIFIED > * ADVERTISEMENTS * * — * + Read These Ads Carefully.

Editor The Phoenix Tribune: Dear Sir: I believe we have reached the bottom and a sort of quiescent period. I think it most likely that from now on, there will be a great, real increase in the Negro vote and I honestly believe that the less said about it the surer the increase will be. Education of all sorts, industrial, classical or otherwise, in accordance with each individual's talent and ability, will not only produce breadth and tolerance, but will help to cure the apathy which now keeps so many thousands of both white and colored men from the polls. It will show them that it is necessary for every man to exercise all political rights, reasonably within his reach. If he fails voluntarily to take advantage of the rights he already has, how shall he be able to acquire more rights? I am glad of this opportunity to express my sentiments and convictions upon this important subject. While they may fitly apply to my more cultured white brethren the main object of my remarks is directed to the colored people. I feel like giving thanks to God because the women have been emancipated and are given the right of franchise. Women as well as men, and especially the members of our race, should study questions of politics and learn to vote right. We should vote for PRINCIPLE and not blindly vote for party that expresses no sane principle and is dominated by politicians for their own personal aggrandizement. I believe in organization, for in unity there is strength. I believe in clubs, wherein people are united for political and social advantage. A great work lies before us. We must show ourselves ever loyal to our country and its flag. This we have always done and I hope we shall continue to do so. ALVIN BOOTH, Box 1265, Globe, Ariz.

BEWARE THIS PROPAGANDA "We had a big crop this year, so there is no use conserving. There is plenty of sugar in the country, the warehouses of the wholesalers are filled with it. Therefore we should be able to buy all the sugar that we can use." If you should hear any reports of this kind in circulation set them down to German propagandists, and rest assured that they will be vigorously denied by the food administration. By inuendo and suggestion these propagandists have attempted to lead the housewife to believe there is no need for further conservation. As a matter of fact there is a greater need for conservation and economy than ever before. More men have been taken from the producing ranks and have joined our fighting forces. They must be supplied with additional food from the fewer that are left behind. The coming year must see conservation not along single lines like sugar and wheat but in every other food commodity as well. GROCERS PLAN TO SAVE TIN Elimination of odd and small sizes in tin containers was suggested by wholesale grocers of the nation in recent conference with the food administration as a means of saving tin, of which there is now a world shortage. Possibilities of packing tea, coffee, spices, baking powder and other products in non-metal containers were also discussed. Saturday, October 5, 1918 The Road to Berlin Begins in America Pave it with Liberty Dollars Our soldiers are giving their lives to open the road to Berlin. They can never succeed in their undertaking without the bountiful help of your Liberty Dollar. The road they are traveling begins not in France but here in America. All along its lengthening way there must be tireless workers. The victorious end will never be won unless you send a never-ending stream of supplies along the hard road. The volume of our might must steadily and rapidly be augmented. Your money must sustain that effort until the Victory is Won.
