BOND SLACKERS TO RECEIVE PUBLICITY PHOENIX VOL. 1. NO. 30 CAMPBELL FAVORS CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR ALL MURDERERS Editor Phoenix Tribune. Dear Sir: I am advised that I have been quoted as saying tait if elected governor I would recommend to the state legislature to put capital punishment in effect for the Mexicans and Negroes. This statement is so manifestly absurd that I hardly deem it worthy of a reply. Anyone familiar wit hour form of government knows it would be impossible to put any such law into effect. I did say that I favored the restoration of capital punishment in Arizona because of the great increase in the number of murders since its abolition. As a matter of fact, you and I know that the great majority of murders committed here in Maricopa county in the past year or two have been committed, not by Negroes, but by white men. The only thing which I said in my speech that could possibly have been distorted into the statement which you heard quoted as made by me was that the majority of crimes, particularly in the southern portion of the state, were committed among the illiterate element of the Mexicans, Negroes and the white people. Thanking you for bringing the matter to my attention, I am, sincerely yours, T. E. CAMPBELL. YUMA CITIZENS ARE VERY ENTERPRISING AND PROGRESSIVE (By Mrs. E. E. Rainwater) YUM, Ariz., Oct. 10.—In our article a few weeks ago we failed to mention the name of Mr. Caton among the progressive farmers of Somerton. In Yuma, we are proud of such promising men as Messrs. Earl T. Johnson and Harry Morris. These gentlemen are conducting two mod-up-to-date tonsorial parlors, and they are both doing well. Mr. Morris is making some improvements in his establishment and he is doing a splendid business on Second street. Mrs. Young entertained members of the non-commissioned officers at her home last week. Those present were: Corporals Valentine, Thompson and Lightfoot, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks-, Mr. and Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Chism and Mrs. Raglin; Miss Gray and Mr. Cheese. The evening was spent at whist. Light refreshments were served and every one spent a pleasant evening. A very bright future is seen for the Somerton Sunday school. Miss Chism entertained the ladies of the Red Cross chapter of Yuma at her home on Main street. The guest list included Mesdames Hogan, Brooks, Young, Johnson, White, Burnett, Wilson and Austin. Tacking carpets and piecing quilts were the diversified features of the afternoon. After the ladies had exhausted themselves in conversation and labor, a sumptuous repast, replete with all the expensive viands of the season, was served. This feature of the entertainment marked the "end of a perfect day." Mr. and Mrs. Caton, prominent citizens of Somerton, spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Rainwater of Yuma. After enjoying a hearty dinner, Mrs. Rainwater and her nephew, accompanied the Catons to their home in Somerton. Bad luck seemed to follow in the wake and the trip almost proved a disappointment. However, we reached our destination and, after gathering a few farm products, made the return trip in Mr. Caton's Overland, covering a distance of eighteen miles in thirty-five minutes. Mrs. John Willis, who has been visiting in Los Angeles and Oakland, Cal., returned last week to cheer her down-hearted, forlorn husband, who has been praying for her return the past month. Saturday night brought an entertaining dance for the boys of the 25th infantry. It was given at Eagle Hall. Delightful refreshments were served and everyone had the time of his life. Mrs. Rainwater was at the piano, assisted by Mr. Jackson with the violin and Mr. Jordan with the drum. Corporal Valentine of the 25th infantry sprang a pleasant surprise on Mr. and Mrs. Willis and Mr. and Mrs. TUCSON CITIZENS MAKING PROGRESS Mrs. Lizzie White, one of the proprietors of the Delmonica restaurant, is very ill. We fear she will not be resume her place at the range for some time. It is hoped that she will be permitted to walk around soon but the doctor has forbidden her to return to the kitchen for some time. Mrs. Jones, the well known partner of Mrs. White, is proving herself equal to the emergency and is tickling the palates of all who eat at the Delmonica. West Tempe Lodge No. 425 F. & A. M. will not initiate their new candidates until October 15th. The worshipful master, Rev. S. E. Newell, was called out of the city on the 8th inst., and could not meet the lodge on that date. Hence the special meeting on the 15th. The services at the A. M. E. church on last Sunday were conducted by Brother John H. Moore. Mrs. Annie B. Nelson has returned from a pleasant vacation spent in California. During the latter part of her visit, she was joined by her husband at Oakland, which made the visit more enjoyable for Mrs. Nelson. They both returned to Tucson last week. Mt. Calvary Baptist church was attended by a large and appreciative audience on last Sunday. Sunday night a very spiritual meeting was held and one convert was taken into the church in the person of Mrs. Maggie Turner. She is a candidate for baptism. Mr. Junius Watts was also received into the church. He was formerly a church member. Sunday school appropriated $5.00 to assist in paying missionary budget. B. Y. P. U. appropriated $5.00 for same purpose. Several personal subscriptions of 50 cents and a dollar each were received to be added to this fund. Their names may appear later. We are thankful to say we have succeeded in arranging our enlistment committee. Five active members, of whom the church may well feel proud, namely: Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Lewis, Mrs. W. F. Robinson, Mrs. C. Clemons and Mrs. B. T. Williams. Much will be expected of this committee. The B. Y. P. U. will render a literary program at the church on Thursday evening, Oct. 17. Yes, indeed, everybody will be there. Miss Mabel Bland will be in charge of the program. FRACTIONAL-POUND The rule prohibiting manufacture or sale of butter in smaller units than pound prints has been amended to go into effect on January 1, 1919, instead of September 15, 1918. The extensa of time will prevent the waste of supplies of printed paper and cartons already on hand. The rule is aimed chiefly at saving time and materials and when it goes into effect January 1, sale of quarter and half pound prints will be stopped. Retailers may, however, cut pound prints and sell any fraction demanded by the purchaser. Rainwater when he called on them and took them out to the races in his big Cadillac eight. All enjoyed the races and spent a pleasant afternoon. Mrs. Earl T. Johnson is suffering with Spanish influenza. 'She was stricken very suddenly on last Saturday. Mrs. Leon Wilson is quite ill at her home on Main street. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Caton of Somerton motored to Yuma last Sunday for their friends to participate in a nice home-cooked dinner. They have been invited to a dinner in Yuma on next Sunday. The Sunday school at Somerton was a success on last Sunday. There were many in attendance from all parts of the community. Mr. Caton is superintendent. Those to subscribe for the Tribune this week were: Mr. Wm. Jones, Yuma; Mr. E. R. Caton, Somerton; Mr. A. J. Tullis, Somerton; Mr. A. M. Fetherston, Somerton; Mrs. Leon Wilson, Yuma. While en route from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Arizona, Mrs. Henderson, a sister of Mrs. Pearl Staten was taken suddenly ill and had to stop off in Yuma. We are glad to know she is recovering. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, OCTOBER 12, 1918.

Mr. Williams is a man of pleasing personality; calm, dignified, and manly. He owns and manages a first-class drug store in Texas. Before entering the drug business he was connected with the Signal Service at large of the U. S. Army. Two and one-half years were spent in the service. Prior to this, he was with the U. S. Department of Labor. His credentials show that he spent eight years with this department. Mr. Williams was very favorably impressed with conditions here and stated that we need not be surprised to wake up some morning and find him right in our midst. FLAGSTAFF CITIZENS ARE UP AND DOING FLAGSTAFF CITIZENS ARE UP AND DOING (By Reginald Jackson) Rev. A. L. Williams of Roswell, N. M., stopped over in Flagstaff a few days while en route to Alamagorda. N. M., from the C. M. E. conference in Phoenix. Owing to the epidemic which is sweeping over the city, he was unable to lecture here. While here he was the guest of Mr. E. J. Bowler. Mrs. Dock Howard of Carlsbad, N. M., left last week for her home in the New Mexico city after spending a delightful summer in Flagstaff. Mrs. Florence Evers left Sunday morning for Los Angeles, where she will join her husband, who is in the U. S. Navy. Rev. Wm. Young, pastor of the Baptist church in Globe, Ariz., delivered a wonderful sermon to us on Sunday, Sept. 31. He took as a text the following verse of scripture: "Be ye not deceived. God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." This subject was beautifully explained by Rev. Young and every one enjoyed his discourse. As a pulpit orator, Rev. Young has improved wonderfully since his residence in this city. Rev. J. J. Johnson, presiding elder of the El Paso district of the C. M. E. church, stopped off in Flagstaff a few hours while enroute to Douglas and other cities in the southern part of the state. Mrs. Sallie Harper left last Sunday for Phoenix, where she will make her future home. The good citizens of this city regret the loss of Mrs. Harper. She will be especially missed by the members of the Willing Workers' club, as she was such a faithful member of this organization. Messrs. T. W. Garrison and Fuller spent two days in the mountains hunting big game. They SAW deer and wild turkeys; bagged a number of squirrels and an animal supposed to be a cub. On arriving in this city they were somewhat disappointed to find their "cub" nothing other than a "porkey." Rev. Z. Z. Johnson and Rev. A. L. Williams were delightfully entertained at a swell chicken dinner on last Sunday at Shepard's cafe. Everything that is necessary to complete a chicken dinner was served and all present enjoyed the feast.

Ajo's quota was $180,000, and three days after the loan started the books showed that Ajo had subscribed exactly $217,000. The whole world can see that there are no slackers in Ajo. On last Friday evening, October 4, the lecture by Mr. Lockett was well received and enjoyed by all. There seems to be some improvement along sanitary lines since Mr. Lockett's lecture. We want to make Ajo the cleanest camp in the state. Any one desiring a clean place to live, come to Ajo. Miss Alma Franklin and Private Harry Henderson were joined together in the holy bonds of matrimony on last Sunday afternoon. There were present as many white people as there were colored to see this military wedding. It is said that this was the most pretentious wedding ever staged in Ajo, by white or colored. Rev. E. S. Vaughn, acting chaplain of the 25th Infantry, stationed here, performed the wedding ceremony. Mr. Carol was best man. Miss Bertha Smith was flower girl. The bridal couple stood under a big American flag while the ceremony was being performed. Eight soldiers acted as guard of honor, while the remainder of the company stood at attention. Sergeant Patter son was in command. As the big American flag was lowered in honor of the bridal couple, the air was filled with beautiful music by the Hawaiian orchestra. After the ceremony the guard of honor escorted the bride and groom to their home, where a long table had been spread with all the delicacies of the season. Fifty couples enjoyed this wedding feast and all joined in wishing the newly-weds a happy, peaceful voyage on the beautiful sea of matrimony. fluenza, are reported much improved at this writing. On account of the dreaded epidemic which is sweeping over the country, the churches of Flagstaff and all public meeting places have been closed. The Tribune's representative celebrated his birthday on last Sunday, Oct. 6. He received a new suit, cap, watch, shoes and was the biggest little man in town last Sunday. TRIBUNE BRILLIANT SOCIAL BY THE STUDENTS OF PRAIRIE VIEW (By Helen Harper Vance) Prairie View, Texas, Oct. 9. The Old Maids' Social, given by the Y. W. C. A., under the direction of Miss Simms, was a grand, success. The first and second prizes awarded to the best dressed old maids were won by Miss Magnolia Jackson and Miss May Robinson. The prizes awarded in Miss Lewis' flower game were won by Miss Blanche Whitehead and Helen Harper Vance. There were maids both old and young, demure and gay, for whom the following program was rendered: Opening Song, "Keep the Home Fires Burning" Old Maids' Parade.....All Old Maids Solo, "O Promise Me".....Miss Sims Opening address.....Miss Mary Jones Solo.....Miss Constance Houston Letters from France.....Elaine Welch Recitation, 'Bachelor's Sale..... .....Miss Sims Solo, Perfect Day..Miss Thelma Powell Red Cross Work.....Miss Bledsoe Comfort Kits.....Miss M. B. Jones Mrs. Mary Chumley of the senior class spent the week-end in Houston, returning Sunday night. Dr. Osborn left Friday on a business trip to A. and M. College. Miss Hallie Dickerson, of Middle Brick building, was slightly indisposed several days during the last week. Prof. Butler has organized the "Classical Club" for the benefit of the Latin students, while Miss Elaine Welch is interesting all English students in the "Readers' Club." Mrs. Hunter, special instructor in the canning of food stuffs in Texas schools, has just returned from Houston. Mrs. Hill paid her usual weekly visit to Hempstead Saturday. Prof. Pratt's this week's banner Sunday school class was given a splendid rendition of "Three Old Friends" by Mrs. Pratt, who, by the way, is a wonderful musician. Prof. Stamps, who has been undergoing intensive training in Washington, D. C., has returned to assist in the Prairie View department of science. His explanation of the S. A. T. C., Sunday morning, will doubtless do much toward interesting the boys of this vicinity in the course which is offered to volunteers, recommending them for officers' training camps. Miss Martha Holland left last week for Los Angeles, Calif., where she will make her home. Miss Mercedes Smith is quite ill and under the care of the doctor. Mr. Barnes, Mr. Caldwell and a number of other young men have enrolled at Wiley university where they are to finish the college course. Mrs. Hill, the school matron, is spending a short vacation in Houston and Bishop after recovering from a slight indisposition. The government order placing all soldiers under quarantine for Spanish influenza spoiled the plans for a perfectly good minstrel show which was to have been staged just 15 minutes after the announcement of quarantine was made. The disappointed students were, instead, allowed to attend the "movies." Mrs. Mason, after an extended western trip, has returned to her home in Prairie View. The following is an excerpt from the letter of a young man who left Prairie View to enter another college: "This place may be all right, but it's nothing like old P. V. I don't see how they expect the students to study here, for they are too hungry. You "Prairie Viewites" are certainly blessed, for you get plenty to eat." Dr. Osborne is with us again after a tripto A. and M. college. He is enforcing drastic laws to prevent an epidemic of Spanish influenza among the students. So far, Prairie View has been quite fortunate, considering the fact that the surrounding cities have reported numerous cases. Strange how the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals makes a bigger fuss over a licked mule than over a lynched Negro. Funny, isn't it? DOUGLAS WOMAN HAS SERIOUS ACCIDENT (By Edward Jones) Mrs. Al Strickland met with a very painful accident when last week she sustained a sprained ankle. She is suffering considerable pain. However, no serious developments are anticipated. A most peculiar circumstance in connection with the accident was that it occurred on a day the Tribune was to be delivered and Mrs. Strickland, who by the way, is an enthusiastic reader of that journal, managed to get to the telephone and call the representative of the Tribune telling him that she was very lonesome without her paper. Mr. Al Strickland, husband of the injured woman, is in Portland, Oregon, working in the government shipyards. He has been informed of the accident. We wish for her a speedy recovery. Mrs. H. B. Thompson, another member of the Tribune's family of contented readers and a faithful member of the Baptist church, left Sunday morning for Globe, where she will join her husband. Mr. Thompson has resided in Globe for the past six months. We wish them success in their new home. Rev. J. R. Kirby, formerly pastor of the A. M. E. church at Globe, arrived in Douglas last week to take charge of the A. M. E. church here. He brought his family with him and has entered enthusiastically upon his work. The services at the church last Sunday night were excellent. One member was added to the roll and everybody felt the spirit. We wish Rev. Kirby and his family success in their new field. The services at the Baptist and C. M. E. churches on last Sunday were quite impressive. Both places enjoyed a good attendance. We are pleased to have Rev. T. C. Cook returned to us for another year. It seems that the churches here are taking on new life, both spiritually and financially. The City Board of Health has ordered every place of public gathering closed in order to check the spread of Spanish influenza. Several cases are already reported in the city. The church goers in the city will be lone-some next Sunday, but we trust this condition will not last long. The club workers in the Baptist church are doing great work. The entertainment given last Friday night was a complete success. Mrs. Sarah Jefferson was captain. SOCIAL DOINGS AT PRESCOTT ARIZONA By Dora Rose PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oct. 9. — Mr. James Grant, who is employed at the Saddle Rock Restaurant, is taking his annual vacation. Prescott folks miss the khaki clad boys and we hope to see them on the streets again soon. There was scheduled a swell entertainment for this week, but, owing to the epidemic, it had to be post poned. Mrs. Dora Rose and children returned this week from a three weeks' vacation spent in Phoenix. ONE MORE SOLDIER HANGED IN TEXAS BY THE WAR DEPT. SAN ANTONIO, Texas.—Private William D. Bonne, a colored soldier, formerly of Company I, 24th Infantry, was hanged at daybreak Tuesday at Fort Sam Houston, it was announced by Brigadier General J. A. Ryan. He is the sixth whose death sentence in the Houston riot cases was affirmed by President Wilson recently. Twenty-six other negro soldiers sentenced by the same court-martial were taken to Fort Leavenworth Tuesday. They are to serve life sentences. The execution of Bonne and the taking to Leavenworth of the others marks the end of the Houston riot cases. The colored people of Chattanooga Tenn., have opened a park to be known as Lincoln Park. The local lodge of the Odd Fellows had charge of the opening ceremonies. 5 CENTS A COPY; $2 A YEAR LICITY NAMES OF LIBERTY BOND PURCHASERS TO BE PUBLISHED The Colored Liberty Loan committee with offices in room eight, City Hall, wish to announce that on next Saturday, October 19, the names of all colored citizens in Phoenix who have bought bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan, will appear in the Phoenix Tribune under the heading: "Honor or Roll of Colored Citizens Who Have Bought Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan." Those who do not buy Bonds will also have their names published under the caption: "Slackers." The committee requests all who have bought bonds through their employers or through some bank, to come to room eight, city hall, and give your name so that it will appear on the Honor Roll of Liberty Bone purchasers. Those who have not subscribed are urged to place their subscriptions through one of the colored solicitors or come to room eight at the city hall and buy your bond. Solicitors are canvassing the city as fast as possible, but owing to the short period in which they have to work, many places will be missed. We therefore advise that you appear if person and place your subscription in our hands. We are satisfied the Race will go over the top and prove 100 per cent loyal as has been the case in the pass. Unless you want your name to appear among the Slackers, whose name will not only be published in the Tribune, but the Gazette and Republic can as well, come to room eight at the city hall and place your subscription TODAY.

COLUMBUS DAY WILL BE OBSERVED AS LIBERTY LOAN DA Saturday, Oct. 12, will be celebrated as Liberty Day in Arizona with a great drive in each community to complete its quota for the Fourth Liberty loan. Celebration of Column Day, the anniversary of the discovery of America as Liberty day has been decided upon by President Wilson as a most effective and appropriate way of advancing the Liberty loan. The day is a legal holiday Arizona and consequently will be voted to a special drive for subscriptions to the Fourth loan, the great loan ever attempted by any nation the world. "It is eminently fitting that the anniversary of the discovery of America should be set apart as Liberty and devoted to the Liberty loan or paign," said Joseph R. Lotus, cow chairman, yesterday. "When you realize what the discovery of America meant to you personally, what it meant for the cause of freedom, democracy, and what it will mean the salvation of the world from domination of autocracy and millism, when you begin to feel all then you won't feel right until have bought all the bonds you possibly take. When you think what it would mean to you and a family if America had never been covered, if this nation had never founded on a new continent with the ideals of liberty could flourish an atmosphere free from the jealous restrictions of European autocritics are bound to that there nothing else so worth while inves your money in, worth fighting worth making every sacrifice for. The colored citizens of East Orl N. J., are conducting a drive to chase a war ambulance, which w presented to one of the colored ments stationed at Camp Dix.

Some of these firms that d® not advertise with us, say their reputation for fair and square dealing is too well known among the colored citizens of Phoenix for an advertise- ment in the Tribune to help them. Others say they have about all the patronage they want from colored people and therefore consider it a waste Gf money to advertise for more. The third class you will find represented iw our advertising columns. ‘They say: “We want the patronage of the col- Ged people, ye appreciate their support and to prove our assertion, we back Eup with a paid advertisement in THEIR paper.” = if you have been trading with a concern for years and your ousiness Wansactions have always been satisfactory, we could not ask you to change. But if you are looking for a place to trade, and you are not certain as to iNst where you want to go, we ask you to give our advertisers a trial first. We believe that SOME firms not represented in our advertising columns Want your trade, but we are not prepared to say what firms. We know, posi- tively that ALL the firms represented in our advertising columns want your trade and are making a bid for it. Will you trade where you KNOW your Patronage is desired, or will you take a chance? Any unfair treatment re- ceived by a member of the Race from one of our advertisers should be re- Ported to us and we'll investigate the matter. We do not propose to carry advertisements of firms and individuals who will grossly insult or in any Way mistreat a member of the Race. We are pleased to say that not a single ‘complaint has been made by one of our readers about the treatment received from Tribune advertisers. ‘We want you to look upon the Tribune as your shopping guide and busi- ‘Ress directory. Consult its pages for bar@aliis and special sales. Every dollar spent with Tribune advertisers means a step nearer that eight-page paper We promised you. if you see his advertisement in th Tribune, then you know he wants your trade. Actions speak louder than words. It is not enough to say: “Friends! Friends!” We want PROOF, Deeds count, not words. Go where you are invited.

Temple, the Pacific Coast's first Colored women gradu- ate in medicine and surgery, passed the California State Board of Medi- cal Examiners with the exceptionally high average of 91.7 per cent. This young lady has well merited the schol- arships presented to her for five con- secutive years by the members of the Los Angeles Forum.

So I started out to look for gooseberries and found them, I asked an old French woman to sell me some, and, don’t you know, she said they were no good and | had to laugh, She would not sell me any, but gave me all I could carry away and they were big ones, about the size of my thumb.

I Se MEDICAL MEN IN CAMPAIGN VENEREAL DISEASES WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept, 25.— Announcement is made that a group ‘ot prominent colored physicians and [surgeons have been appointed by the War Department to carry on a vigor- [a campaign of education, with*a view of combatting the pread of ven- lereal diseases in the camps and can- tonments of the ‘country, where col- ored soldiers are stationed in appre- ciable numbers. ‘The physicians thus far selected for this vitally important Work include: Dr..C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., formerly editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association and author of numerous literary and medical productions; Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, surgeon-in-chief jot Merey Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. Roscoe Brown, of Richmond, Va., jand Dr. Ralph A. Stewart, of Washing- ton, D. C. | According to the plants adopted it is confidently expected that every col- jored soldier in the Army will be reached by this educational work. The ere of these physicians is to be sup- plemented by literature which has prepared to meet the special needs of colored troops, This is now in press, an da pamphlet covermg these sub- jects simply but thoroughly will be put into the hands of every colored soldier in the Army who is able to read. It is hoped to reach those who cannot read by specially-prepared ptc- torial placards and stereopticon slides. ‘The last mentioned work will be largely in the hands of “a group ‘of colored sergeants who are peculiarly adapted by education and training for this work. OUR SPECIAL GRIEVANCES Dr. Dubois says in the Septexiber Crisis: The leading editorial in the July Crisis, called “Close Ranks”, has been the subject of much comment. To a few it has seemed to indicate some change of position on the part of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People and the Crisis, It is necdless to say that it indicates nothing of the sort. This Association and this magazine stand lioday exactly where they have stood turing the eight years of their work vie for the full manhood rights of the American Negro. | ‘The July editorial is not in the ‘slightest degree inconsistent with \these principles, It was submitted to Jorominent members and oificers of ‘the board before printing and found ‘no objection. | The editorial seeks to say that the first duty of an American is to win ee war and that to this all else is jsubsidiary. It declares that whatever personal and group grievances inter- fere with this mighty duty must wait. | Tt does not say that these griev. ances are not grievances, or that the temporary setting aside of wrongs makes them right, But it does say, and the Crisis repeats the word, that any man or race that seeks to turn his country’s predicament to his own personal gain is fatally cheating him- self. ts What the Crisis said is precisely what in practice the Negroes of Amer- fea have already done during the war and have been advised to do by every responsible = dees leader. | ‘The editorial was in exact accord and almost,in the very words of a res- olution written by the same hand and assed unanimously by the thirty-one editors of all the leading Negro pub- ications in America. Did Negroes refuse to serve in the draft until they got the right to vote? No, they stormed the gates of thy army for the right to fight. Did they refuse commissions beeaase their army school was segregeted? No, they were eager to enter and diligent to learn. Have we black mon for one moment hesitated to do our full duty in this war because we thought the country was not doiny its Tuil duty to us? Is there a single Negro leader who advised by word, written or spon- en, rebellion and disloyalty? Certainly not. Then somebody “forgot his spe- cial grievance” and fought for his country, and to him and for him the Crisis Speaks. The Crisis says, first your Country, then your Rights!

Epidemic Closes Schools—The fear of Spanish influenza has caused all schools, theatres, clubs, churches and other public meeting places to be closed for the present. Our sympathy goes out to the little boys who are denied the privilege of sitting all day in a nice hot, stuffy schoolroom, conjugating verbs, reciting geography and getting other lessons in the class room. This poor little boy is now forced to spend most of his time playing marbles and indulging in other boyish tricks, which every one knows is very distasteful to the young lads.

Dreylington, 324 South Ninth ave., celebrated his ninety-fourth birthday. Rev. Dreylington was one of the ministers to be ordained at the last annual conference of the C. M. E. church held in this city. He is as active and spry as a man fifty years his junior. We wish him all that is good and cheerful in his declining years. Los Angeles Visitor— Mrs. R. J. Murry, a sister of Mrs. Lewis Dixon, is visiting the latter at her home on the South side. Mrs. Murry is from Los Angeles, but after visiting here and seeing the wonderful advantages Phoenix has over Los Angeles, she has decided to cast her lot with us. Welcome to our city Mrs. Murry, the longer you stay here the better you will like it. Phoenix Tabernacle— The ladies of Phoenix Tabernacle club No. 1, were entertained by Mrs. R. M. Henderson at the residence of Mrs. S. W. Thompson, 527 East Jefferson street on last Tuesday evening at 8:30 p. m. This was a very swell affair and everyone enjoyed it to the uttermost. Mr. Jasper B. Williams, a druggist of El Paso, Texas, was a business visitor in the city a few days this week. He returned to the Texas city Monday. Voice of the People Editor Phoenix Tribune. I pray you for a space in your most valuable paper, as I know many would love to read of one who is set before us as a straightforward, clean-cut man, well polished, with plenty of iron in his red blood. A fearless officer, who for the past two years filled the office of constable in East Phoenix precinct with dignity to himself and the well thinking citizen of the city of Phoenix. This is in the person of Mr. Haze Burch, who is asking your vote in the November election for a second term. I can say that Mr. Burch is one of the most efficient, smooth, caretaking constables I ever saw—never rash nor harsh. A man of few words—has a clean eye to business. Let us see to it that he is re-elected by a large majority from the East Phoenii precinct. He is the man in the right place and for the right place. The sugar S. O. S. is a do-it-now-call—for what is not well done now will not be done at all.

The talk is seemingly made by those who think some white drug store man paid me to do this. There is a lot of other talk also that is going around and does not amount to anything. Now, I have been working on this drug-store proposition for four months or more. It started from an amusement park that I was about to open up last spring. I abandoned this proposition for the reason that the war was taking away so many, and I decided to change it to a drug store. I went to work in a still way, and tried to work out a plan to have a drug store run by colored people, in a colored man's name and owned by a colored man. Now, after four or five months' study and work, I decided upon a plan to give the colored people of Phoenix a first-class drug store. But since the citizens have found it out, they seem dissatisfied with the idea of my opening up a drug store here. Why shouldn't I be privileged to put up a drug store here? I am a citizen of Phoenix, have lived here six years, own property, and am a taxpayer. You say I have no right, and you would rather see a stranger come in here and sell you stock in a drug store and separate you from your money. You seem to doubt my statement about having a $7,000 stock of goods to put in a drug store. To these doubting Thomases I want to say, if you will put up $7,000, I will turn the stock over to you. Now, if you want to go in on this proposition to form a stock company, I am ready to turn over the $7,000 stock of goods and equipment that I have here in Phoenix. I can back up every word I say, I am glad that I have found out how you are about a man of your race who has lived six years in the city and is raising a family. You have explained how you feel about a home man opening up such a business for the colored people, so I am going to take you at your word. Thanking you for stopping me before I got in too far, and with good wishes, I am, The 1918 food reserve is the only safe insurance of 1919 food supplies. _____ o _____ Those who dare all must snare all. NEGRO FARMERS MAKING MONEY New York, N. Y., Oct. 8.—"In the South I found Negroes in the cities making a living' and those in the rural districts making money." This statement was made by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard university, who has been on an extended tour through the South and West where he made patriotic addresses to large audiences. "Economic conditions in the South caused me to thing of Booker Washington's advice to members of the race to stay on the farm," continued Professor Miller, "for our people living in the country are enjoying more prosperity than the city Negro. It is now a common sight to see colored farmers driving their own automobiles." Professor Miller was of the opinion that the Northwest offers great industrial and agricultural opportunities for the Negro. During the summer he visited Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and other western states and was given an opportunity to get a correct view of the situation, so far as relating to Negroes. His itinerary out to the Pacific coast covered 17,000 miles. The well-known educator had just returned from a speaking tour through Texas. Enthusiastic Citizens Warmly Endorse Co-operative Race Enterprise Sunday afternoon a smaal, but representative body of colored citizens met at Smith's hall, 21 East Madison street for the purpose of listening to Messrs. Daniels, Carter and Williams discuss plans for the establishment of a co-operative drug store in Phoenix. Mr. S. L. Daniels acted as chairman of the meeting and introduced the speakers. Mr. Jasper B. Williams of El Paso, Texas, was the first speaker. He told in a clear, concise manner the object of his visit to this city and the inducements which had prompted him to make the visit. He said that colored people in Texas are going West and North. They are leaving the Southland for a more congenial atmosphere. Mr. Williams said that he didn't want to leave with them, but wanted to come out ahead of them so that when they reached Phoenix, Arizona, they would find him here and in business. The speaker stated that he was the proprietor and owner of a first class drug store in El Paso and enjoyed a splendid patronage from the Mexican, colored and white people. His main object in wanting to locate here was to broaden his field and give himself more room to grow. Mr. Carter spoke at length upon the Lubricating, Coal Oil, Gasoline and all Zeroline Oils CARL ANDERSON Everything in Insurance and Bonds The largest General Insurance Agency in Arizona—There is a reason— We know our business and satisfy our clients LET US FIGURE YOUR INSURANCE 115 North First Avenue Whether You Want One Board or a Carload, You Can Do Better at Halstead's J.

He said that while they had ample funds to bring the goods and fixtures to Phoenix and set everything to work in fine shape, they wanted the endorsement of the citizens here. His idea was to let every colored person who wanted to have an interest in the store, buy as many shares of stock as he could afford. Mr. Daniels called on the audience to take up the discussion and make known the views and sentiments of each individual. Mr. J. Henderson was the first to speak and he was in full accord with the movement. So were others who spoke. Among the speakers who enthusiastically endorsed the project were—Dr. W. C. Hackett, Mr. Allen Smith, Mr. Samuel Hardwick, Mrs. Ada Jones, Mrs. Turner and others. Everybody seemed to realize PAGE THREE Opens SEMENT with entire Store tpouring of own before ool Dress Millinery, s, House arked at purchase RE the need of a first class drug store and soda fountain for our people and pledged their whole-hearted support. Another proposition was unearthed at this meeting which causes the cooperative drug store to be held in abeyance for the present at least. However, we are going to have a colored drug store here in Phoenix by January 1, 1919. The man behind the other proposition has a $7,000 stock of goods, fixtures and the building all ready to open as soon as he can secure a graduate pharmacist. You are assured of a drug store in the very near future; possibly by Thanksgiving, but certainly not later than January, 1919. We feel that the meeting was productive of much good in bringing to light this gigantic enterprise that has been shrouded in darkness and enveloped in secrecy. Can any good come out of Phoenix?

Dear Mr. Babbitt: In reply to my letter asking whether I desire to rate and further expression on the Democratic Platform adopted by the Party Council at its recent sitting, in which I had the honor to dictate, I wish to state again my are approval of same, and pledge self to appeal to the people for our loyal support and adherence to principles. it is a recital of the accomplishments of the Democratic National Administration in its successful conduct of governmental affairs during the last critical period of our history, and addition contains an outline of the policies to be pursued by democratic politics while the war lasts and during the trying period of reconstruction which must follow. It has always on my desire to awaken in the people a relaization of their direct resemblability for the government and arouse them to an active participation in all the problems of the counsels political life, because the government is actually theirs and reflects their attitude, whether serious or inferent. In this respect the platform is an inspiring document and would appeal to all who take an interest in the progress of political science and the cause of liberty, and taken an interest in those who are different. Necessity now forces us realize that on our management of the military length and efficiency. It is the priority and indispensable duty of ouritors to follow the manuscript with serious care. I know that the circumstances under which the platform is prepared—in an open assembly the elected representatives of the democratic party—make it worthy to come the platform of the whole people of Arizona, as it is an epitome of the principles of their government. The platform embodies my own sentiments so completely and emances as to conditions in Arizona so fully in accord with my own ideas that unhesitatingly adopt it in its entirety as an enunciation of the principles and policies for which I stand.

J. HARRIS, Box 446, Prescott, Ariz. CRUSHED TO DEATH UNDER HEAVY DOOR Baltimore, Md.—Caught beneath a heavy iron door when it fell from its support on Saturday morning at the plant of the Baugh Chemical company foot of Clinton street, Calvin Forrest (colored) 2236 Brunt street, sustained injuries from which he died a few minutes later. The sight of the door falling upon the man and his agonized screams so affected George H. Peters, also colored, 1946 North Fremont avenue, another employee at the plant, that he was stricken with paralysis on the right side. Forrest was placed in an automobile and rushed to St. Joseph's hospital, but was dead when physicians examined him. The body was taken to the morgue. Meanwhile, Dr. Leo Karlinski, 3035 O'Donnell street, was summoned to attend Peters, who later was moved to his home. According to witnesses, Forrest was working in the "hot bin" at the plant. The iron door was used to keep heat in the bin, and in some manner it came loose from the hinges as Forrest passed it. BOYS BLOW OUT GAS DEATH CLAIMS THEM Washington.—Arthur Lewis and Hempel Snaders, 16 and 17 years respectively, employed as red caps at Union Station, were found dead in in their bed at 1256 Carrollburg place S. W. The youngsters came from Chester, S. C., three months ago. A gas jet was found open in the room, and doors and windows closed. The coroner gave a verdict of accidental death, and gave an opinion that the boys blew out the gas instead of turning it off. ALABAMA ENROLLS MANY COLORED BOYS Montgomery, Ala.—Negro boys between the ages of $15\frac{1}{2}$ and 18, inclusive, have been called upon to enroll for non-military service during the week beginning October 7. This announcement is made by W. Nash Read, federal state director of the United States boys' working reserve, following a conference with prominent Negro educators of the state. The first attempt in the South to organize a separate division of Negro boys for non-military service on farms will be made by this state once the registration is completed. RACE MEN RECEIVE COMMISSIONS Washington. At the closing exercises of the Central Officers' Training School at Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., one hundred and seven colored men, representing nearly every state in the Union, received commissions as second lieutenants. Capt. Garrison, the instructor in charge of the school, said that the young men had exceeded all expectations and had met conditions as they were in a most cheerful and confident manner and that they had mounted the military ladder of training round by round, showing a degree of proficiency that compared most favorably with their fellows. Their conduct in camp and city was most praiseworthy. They came from all walks of life, from college down. COLORED DOCTOR ENLISTED PRIVATE Washington.—Word has reached this city that Dr. Jonathan Gibbs, recent graduate and interne 'at the Howard Medical School, who had just passed the medical board examination of the District of Columbia, standing third among a number of white applicants, was drafted and sent to Camp Meade recently. He only stayed at the camp several hours, when he was ordered to the port of embarkation in order to catch the 808th Regiment leaving for France. Dr. Gibbs missed the boat and is now at the port awaiting further orders. SOUTHERN JUDGE AIDS RACE SCHOOL Cincinnati, O.—An appeal for aid for the national training school for Negroes at Durham, N. C., was made to a large audience of Negroes in Memorial hall by Jete C. Pritchard, judge of United States Circuit court for the district of South Carolina and Virginia. He pointed out that lack of industry was the chief failing of the Southern Negro, but added the Negro boy or girl are apt pupils when they have a chance. THE ALL-AMERICAN JOB "Using the food power and the manpower to the utmost to win the war is to be our religion of 1919—and by this sign we shall conquer. "Remember that a supreme concentrated effort on the part of all the Allies, and particularly on the part of America, would clean Germany up." DR. ALONZO TAYLOR, U. S. Fod Administration. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING TO BUILD NURSES HOME AT SHERMAN Camp Sherman, Chillicothe—(Associated Press)—The government has appropriated approximately $10,000, it became known yesterday, for building at Camp Sherman a home for Negro nurses. Work will start in a few days, and it is probable that before Christmas Negro soldiers will be cared for by nurses of their own race. With the announcement of the building of the home came the news that Negro patients in the hospital are to be separated from the white ones in as many cases as possible. LIBERTY LOAN Since the beginning of the war, we have spent for army use $37,000,000 for flour, $14,000,000 for sugar, $43,000,000 for bacon, $12,000,000 for beans, $9,000,00 for canned tomatoes and $3,000,000 for rice. These are only some of the large items in our army's bill of fare. We have spent $126,000,000 for shoes, over $500,000,000 for clothing, winter and summer, and nearly $150,000,000 for blankets. Our axes for the army have cost over $6,000,000, our rolling kitchens $47,000,000 and field ranges $1,500,000. The army is using 2,500,000 shovels costing one dollar apiece. Our motor trucks to carry supplies and ammunition cost $240,000,000 and for horse-drawn wagons and carts we have spent $37,000,000. Our 279,000,000 horses and 132,000 mules have cost us nearly $100,000,000, and to feed them has cost over $60,000,000 and the harness for them nearly $30,000,000. These figures are large, but we have nearly $2,000,000 men in France and nearly as many in conitions here, and the United States and people of the United States, through the Liberty Loan, are making these soldiers as safe and comfortable, as powerful and effective as possible. Every subscriber to the Liberty Loan has helped and every subscriber to the Fourth Liberty Loan will help to win the war. PERSHING LAUDS COLORED TROOPS PARIS.-General Pershing paid a fine compliment to American Negro soldiers in France in addressing 6,000 colored stevedores at a base port recently. "When this expedition first started the question was, 'Do you want any colored men over there?' and I said, 'Yes, of course I want colored men,' I said "aren't they American citizens? Can't they do as much work in the line of fighting and as much work as any other American citizens?" The general said he was raised in a town where three-fourths of the people were colored; that he was proud to say that he was raised by a colored mammy and equally proud to say he commanded a colored troop during the Spanish war, and that "they did splendid work then and they are doing splendid work now!" *I used to wrestle with a colored boy named Dave Robertson," said Pershing, speaking of his boyhood days, "and Dave used to throw me as often as I threw him." The general was cheered enthusiastically by the colored regiment and by other services of supply men he addressed on his tour. The cheers were loudest when he promised to give the men at the base a "chance at the boche" up at the front. "I expect to come back here," he said "and organize a few volunteer units and give you guns and let you go to the front and try your hand at it." HOSTESS HOUSE AT CAMP GORDON WASHINGTON—The hostess house for the colored troops at Camp Gordon which has been in process of erection for several weeks, is now ready for occupancy. The Atlanta Constitution says: "The house is a building complete in its expression of beauty and comfort, the same attention being given to the details of harmonious and artistic equipment that characterizes all the hostess houses that have been and are still being erected at nearly every cantonment in the country, and is designed along the same lines of the hostess houses for white soldiers." The structure was provided through efforts of the National War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A., the headquarters of which is in New York City. This fills a long-felt want, as there was great need for the colored soldiers at Camp Gordon to have a suitable place where they might meet their relatives and friends who had come from a distance to visit them. The Self-Preservation Loyalty League of Walker County, Alabama has been organized with the white citizens electing Prof. R. W. Taylor vicepresident and Prof. M. H. Griffin a member of the Executive Committee. At Somerset, Pa., the largest parade ever witnessed in the town was held when William Stewart, the only colored draftee, was escorted to the station, followed by the Mayor, the town's drum corps and Civil War Veterans. Our colored soldiers in France and Siberia are doing their duty like heroes and showing the world that colored troops make ideal soldiers and no braver or more daring men are found at the front. We call on all our people here at home who are not called to do active service in the army to do their part in supporting our brave boys by planting every available foot of ground in foodstuff, by saving all possible, eating less meats and sugars, and engaging eight hours every day, six days in the week in some useful occupation so that they may be able to buy stamps and liberty bonds as well as pay their debts and provide for the future. We must show to France, England, Italy and even Germany that American colored citizens are patriotic, loyal and brave, ready to sacrifice money or life for the country they and their ancestors have given their strength and blood to build. Our country, then, receiving so much from our hands, must be just and generous enough if she hopes to succeed to grant us the same privileges of citizenship, the right to travel and receive public accommodations we are able to pay for, the right of trial by jury and equality in our courts of justice that she grants other citizens not near so loyal and which she accords to foreigners who have no interest whatever in her welfare or her citizens. ALGERIAN DIDN'T GATHER HIM CLOSELY Somewhere in France.—He was a genuine Negro from a Southern cotton plantation in the United States, He had seen many other black men over here, and naturally figured them all members of the same race. But it chanced to be a French Algerian, a very black one, from whom he asked a match or light for his cigarette. The Algerian looked at the American while he was repeating his requests and then walked away. The puzzled negro walked away and hunted up a fellow patriot and complained: "Lordy, lordy, man; doan it beat all how some of dese kin fight so long heath in dis country dat they clean fergit dere own language?" NEW ENGLAND CITY HAS BOY SCOUTS HARTFORD. Conn. — The Boy Scouts of America, which is the most democratic of all the movements for boys, is well organized in Hartford and aims to give every boy in the community a chance to be a scout and serve his city and nation during the period of the war. There are two troops of Colored Scouts in Hartford, Troop 19, Roland Canns, scoutmaster, George N. Lewis and Earl Bass, assistants, which meet every Wednesday night at St. Monica's church and is for all the boys in the North End, and Troop 57, Talcott Street Congregational church, in charge of Rev. Willia mWright, the former scoutmaster 'having been drafted. RACE SOLDIER SHOOTS WHITE MILITARY COP PETERSBURG, W. Va.-Private John A. Boyle of Sharon, Pa., a member of the military police at Camp Lee, but on duty at Hopewell, was shot and killed in a restaurant there by Sergeant Charles E. Wright, a Negro soldier of the Development Battalion at Camp Lee. Boyle was trying to arrest Wright on the charge of being absent from camp without a pass. Wright had two revolvers and showed fight, but was overpowered by the military police. Tuskegee, Ala.—Dr. Robert R. Motion, principal of Tuskegee Institute, announces the receipt of $1,200 from Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, executive heads of the Poro College of Hair Culture, St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone have for a number of years manifested great interest in the work of Tuskegee and have on a number of occasions contributed to the work. The poro College is one of the most successful business enterprises owned and operated by colored people. It is said that they employ nearly 100 young men and women at the St. Louis office and factory and do an average annual business of $250,000. WOULDN'T CHOP WOOD; Baltimore, Md.—Chopping wood to build fires for the suppers of his comrades at Camp Meade, did not appeal to Arthur Stewart of the 31st Company of the 154th Depot Brigade. In fact, Stewart was so set against the job that he told his superior officer, Lt. John W. Taylor, that he would not do it. Stewart, who lived in Baltimore, is sorry now. He will have plenty of time for repentance, for he has been sentenced to ten years' confinement at hard labor at Fort Jay, N. Y., forfeiture of all pay, and to dishonorable discharge from the army. ONE-EYED BUT HE WENT TO FRANCE Washington, D. C.—"Colored men are not dodging the draft," observed S. A. Lynch, of Maryland, at Washington. "Indeed, our Colored citizens have shown the utmost patriotism, and in all the states they have been among the first to volunteer. Somehow, the Colored fellows appear to like soldiering. I didn't wonder that Huns were scared of the American Negro troops. Not long ago I happened to be at the railroad station when a number of Colored men were going aboard the train for the training camp. They marched down the station platform shouting and singing. Among them was a stout, dark man of 35, perhaps more. One of his eyes was completely gone. In some manner he had passed the examining board after registration and been designated for the training camp. Among the men at the depot overlooking the draftees was a draft officer. He observed the one-eyed man, and, of course, immediately went up to him. "What are you doing in line?" asked the man. "You know you cannot be a soldier, having only one eye. How did you pass the examining board? You had better step out now. There's no chance for you to get by.' Yes, I will,' returned the Negro. 'When I get to camp and the officers there see you, they will send you back at once,' insisted the official. 'They won't send me back,' confidently answered the Colored man. 'When I tell the officers I was cook at the Maryland. Club twelve years they won't send the back.' Sure enough, they didn't send him back, and he's in France now." Frederick M. Roberts has been nominated for assemblyman, 74th District, at the primaries held in Los Angeles, Cal. He was supported by members of his race and quite a number of white voters. Word has been received by Miss Josephine Rutherford of Kirkwood, Mo., that Capt. G. Kelly, formerly stationed at Camp Dodge, Ia., is in France in good health. Who Wants It?

His explanation is so involved that a Philadelphia lawyer could not understand it. In an effort to confuse the public Hayden pleads that he voted for the draft bills. Hayden does not deny that he voted against the Kahn amendment to the conscription act which provided for the raising at once by conscription the necessary army to give effect to the declaration of war and which was the test vote as to whether the United States should raise an army by conscription. Had this amendment which Hayden voted against, failed of adoption, the volunteer system would have been used. Hayden does not deny that he made a long speech against conscription in the house of representatives in which he said that the drafted man never puts heart in the work and that he deserts at the first opportunity. Hayden does not deny that he voted against the Kahn amendment to the Hay army bill, March 23, 1916, which amendment sought to increase the regular army to 178,000, or more nearly approaching the recommendations of the general staff. Hayden does not deny that he voted against Section 56, providing for a volunteer army solely under federal control. Hayden does not deny that he voted against the motion to recommitte the naval appropriation bill, which motion was designed to instruct an increase in the navy beyond what was provided in the original bill. Hayden does deny the charge that he is against universal military training. He says that he has always been for universal training. If you believe him, read what he said in a letter dated April 16 1918, addressed to O.C. Parker, president of the Tucson branch of the Association to Promote Universal Military Training. It is as follows: "I am just in receipt of your letter of April 10, transmitting a copy of the resolutions recently adopted at a meeting of the Arizona Division of the Association for Universal Military Training, and beg to enclose herewith an extract from the last annual report of the secretary of war in which he discusses the subject of universal military training. I am inclined to agree with Secretary Baker that the adoption of universal military training can well be postponed until after the conclusion of the present conflict with Germany. To advocate such a system now implies a lack of faith in our ability to obtain a complete victory over German militarism. Furthermore to pass such a bill at the present time would have no other effect than to tie the hands of the American representatives at the peace conference because they could not consistently ask other nations to disarm while the United States proposed to maintain a huge army created by conscription in time of peace. "If the war with Germany should result in peace without victory for the United States and our allies, it will of course be necessary for the country to immediately begin preparations for the next war, because there can be no permanent peace in the world until German militarism is destroyed. Under such circumstances, I would favor the adoption of universal military service, but at the present time, I believe that it would be a mistake to pass the Chamberlain bill, or and other measure providing for the immediate adoption of universal military training." When Carl Hayden stated in his letter to Vaughn that he had always favored universal military training, he had evidently forgotten his letter to Parker in which he expressed his true sentiments. Hayden, of course, cannot deny that he is against these war measures and voted against them. He contents himself by saying that he voted against only five out of eight instead of five. out of six war measures. He also points out that he voted against conscription on April 28, 1917, instead of April 23, 1917. This is an insult to the intelligence of his constituents. PAGE SIX SPANISH INFLUENZA HAS STRUCK RAY; 40 CASES REPORTED (By Archie Lewis) RAY, Ariz, Oct. 9.—Spanish influenza has struck Ray and there are now forty cases reported. The schools and theaters have been closed and the people have been requested to avoid meeting in crowds as much as possible. Fortunately, no colored people have been stricken with the disease as yet. Miss Irene Banks, formerly a resident of Ray, writes that she is doing aplendidly in her studies at Los Angeles. Miss Banks is taking a commercial course at Jefferson High school. She was elected representative of the B 10 class for the girls' self government league. These representatives are elected by the entire school and as she was the only colored student to receive a nomination and election to any school office, she feels that she has been honored. Mrs. Lewis Hudson of Phoenix, wife of Mr. Lewis Hudson of this city, arrived in Ray last week. She brought their two children with her and the entire family will now reside in Ray. Mr. Hudson is employed at the Ray Con hotel. James Coleman is now working as a pipe fitter for the Ray Con. Jim says: "Six bucks a day is not so bad." J. J. McDonald and Abe Buford went on a hunting trip last Saturday They killed a few rabbits and lots of birds and some of their friends say they also "killed" a pint. This last rumor has not been confirmed. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harris entertained a few friends one evening last week. Whist was the feature of the evening. Ice cream and cake were served and a very enjoyable evening was spent by all present. The detachment of soldiers who are stationed at Camp Cates near here are quarantined. This precaution was taken in order to prevent the soldiers from catching Spanish influenza. A. D. Selders, who left here about three month ago for Camp Funston, writes that he is now in France. "Foots" says he caught another badger while in camp and is going to let the Kaiser "pull" him when he gets to Berlin. A card received from John Burton, who left here a few months ago for Camp Lewis, Wash., states that he is in Sayre, Tenn., en route to "some where". He says that he will write us when he gets there. On the Ray Front: "General" Mose Davis reports that his company has run out of ammunition. He was left in charge of one of his most worthy men, but he drank it all up. Dad gum him!

Puryear is supreme scribe Bisbee Losing Many of Her Male Population BISBEE, Ariz., Oct. 9.—Miss Mary Holman is a new arrival in our city from El Paso, Texas. She expects to remain in the city until December. The following men left this week for Norfolk, Va.; Shurman Jones, Henry Campbell, William Rice and Robert Douglas. They go to work in the government shipyards at that place. Chaplain Scott and his family were in the city this week. He came to place his daughter Ruth, in a good home so that she might be privileged to attend school this winter. She will reside with Mrs. H. E. Thomas, a very affable and motherly woman. Mr. Hamilton Spriddles, supply troop 10 Cav., spent the week end in our city. He returned to Fort Huachuca Tuesday morning. Mrs. I. Moore, the new "war bride" from Fort Huachuca, spent Tuesday in our city. She came over to do some shopping and incidentally to see old acquaintances. Mrs. Plus and Mrs. Pettid, are expected to leave in a few days to join their husbands who are in the ship vards at Portland, Ore. Mrs. Mayme Carr is on the sick list this week. She has been confined to her home with la gripe. Our city is under quarantine now because of influenza. All moving picture shows are closed, chairs taken from soft drink stands, etc. Everybody is advised to keep moving. This is being done in order to check the spread of this great epidemic. Up to date one hundred and thirdd cases of influenza have been reported. None of them are colored. Misses Threat, Walker, Smith and Mrs. Walker motored to Naco Sunday afternoon in company with Messrs. Richardson and Spriddles. Last week for three days in succession, a certain party was heard playing: "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry." This tune was played morning, noon and night. On Monday night some one played: "The End of a Perfect Day." We wonder why? Mrs. Bryan has returned from a short visit to El Paso, Texas. KELLY MILLER SAYS DEMOCRACY WILL KNOW NO BOUNDS AFTER THE WAR JERSEY CITY, N. J.-Voicing a manly protest against the wrongs suffered by 'the American negro; declaring unlimited patriotism a duty in this crisis and seeing but beneficial results for the race from the great conflict. Dean Kelly Miller of the Howard University delivered an address marked by depth of thought and beaut of expression, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of the Lafayette Presbyterian church Friday night which equaled any effort ever heard here. Dean Miller hopes, when the great war is over, 'democracy may be bounded on the south by the south pole, on the north by the aurora, borealis, on the east by the rising sun and on the west by the day of judgment. Despite inclement weather, the church was well filled and a return of Dean Miller would necessitate a larger building. The Rev. A. J. Dadler, pastor of the First Presbyterian church (white) and Attorney John McMaster, leading member of the local bar, and Dr. G. E. Cannon spoke briefly at the conclusion of the address. Elder Thomas H. Cabaniss is president of the brotherhood. COLORED BANKER DIES IN BALTIMORE DURHAM, N. C., Oct. 8.—Dr. George W.

Houston, Secretary of Agriculture, is the chairman of the board, and other members include William G. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce; and William B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor. James P. Munroe, of Boston, is vice chairman of the board, and the other members are P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Education; Charles A. Great house, and Arthur B. Holder; The board aims to fit men for a variety of trades and to give them an opportunity, after their training, to enter the ranks of skilled labor. Lack of funds will not prevent the men from obtaining the training they need, for they will receive family allowances and compensations from the War Risk Insurance Bureau the same as during their military service. When the men are equipped to earn a living they will be assisted in finding jobs. The office of the board is at 601 E. Street NW., Washington. The inquiry office, Information and Education Service, Department of Labor, is cooperating in the work.

Y.-A full regiment of 3,000 Negro soldiers from the far west arrived in Elmira on several trains and were taken on exercise hikes through the city. The infantrymen were picked men out of a camp of 15,000 Negro soldiers, for their proficiency in the bayonet drill. They are being sent overseas on a special order. The visitors were a sturdy lot of young men, well drilled. The captains and lieutenants are white men. The soldiers were happy as they marched and sang "We'll Hang the Old Kaiser to a Sour Apple Tree." Bad Whiskey and Strangers Make Friday the Thirteenth an Unlucky Day for George Winton KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 22.—Geo. Winton, of Watertown, Tenn., can't say that Friday the 13th has any particular charms for him, neither can Jacob Long, Dee Lynch and Robert Cain, who were arrested shortly following the hour that Winton was relieved of $400 and placed in the city jail by Detective John Singleton, charged with doing the "slick" work for Winton. Winton, with his wife and son, had been in Welch, W. Va., at work and had accumulated the $400. En route to their home at Watertown, Tenn., a little station over near Nashville, they stopped over in Knoxville, and Winton being happy over possessing such a large sum of the "long green," set out to celebrate, and not many minutes passed before he met up with some "friends" who became thoroughly interested in him due to his desire to acquaint them with his great wealth, and they immediately set about to conduct him to a place where he could get a "good drink." Winton had placed the money in his sock next to his leg and had further sought to make it secure by placing a legging over it, but when he got some of the bad "fire-water" into his system, he couldn't resist the temptation of showing the above named trio his twenty-dollar bills and in talking to a representative of The News, he told of "knowing nothing else after they gave me the whiskey." They took him to a house on South Central street after evading several policemen, and it was there that members of the party confess to having divided the money. The preliminary trial was held at W. M. Sellers' office, before Mr. Fields, and resulted in Lynch and Long being bound to criminal court under bond. Detective Singleton is being congratulated on making the good catch. The "Jim Crow" signs have been removed from two of the tennis courts in the city park, Denver. Colored people now have the privilege of using any court they see fit, instead of the two labeled, "For Colored People Only."

Her people have been asked, however, to keep within two pounds of sugar per person per month for table and cooking. In a certain Arizona restaurant the other day a man was seen to empty the contents of the sugar envelope furnished him and then nonchalantly supplement this supply with a very generous helping from a large-sized envelope of sugar which he drew from an inside pocket. There was no outward sign of any feeling of guilt. He thought nothing about it. He cared less. He merely knew that he wished three spoonfuls of sugar in his coffee and could get but one at the cafe. Therefore he would buy extra sugar and carry it around with him. Is that man true to his country? England is on a strict sugar ration. Persons found violating the strict regulations are severely penalized. The wife of the British food controller remarked recently that she and her husband and the housekeeper were saving the whole of their sugar allowance for making jam for the soldiers. They go without it in their tea and coffee and use sugar substitutes in all cooking. In this way sugar has been saved sufficient to can one gross and a half tins of fruit. This is used for invalided men whom they have in their home. This is real love of country. Do you love your country or are you a sugar slacker? BEEFING It seems I'm never satisfied No matter where I go. My job is easy, my duties light, I still find grief and woe. If I'm stationed in a training camp Where drills are very light, I holler to be sent up front To get into the fight. When we were in the U. S. A., I thought we had no chance, And I wasn't really satisfied Till on my way to France. We've been here now about six months, And if I had kept track, I'll bet I've said a thousand times, "I wish that I was back." And when I was a corporal I belly-ached around And thought a better sergeant Than I'd make could not be found. I've had three stripes for eight long months, And still I curse my luck, And threaten that I'll tear 'em off And go back to a buck. When they try to please me And dish out first-class chow, And there's sugar in the coffee, I'll holler anyhow. And if I was sent to Heaven And up there was doing well, I wouldn't, yet, be satisfied Till I'd got a look at hell!
