ARIZONA PEOPLE ARE PROGRESSIVE PHOENIX TEXAS NEGROES AMONG LEADING MEN OF THE RACE IN EVERYTHING THAT IS ENTERPRISING, PROGRESSIVE. UPLIFTING Note. The following article, clipped from the Houston Observer, a race paper published at Houston, Texas, gives one a fair idea of what Texas has produced. Many of our readers hall from this grand old state, and the article below will cause a feeling of bride to rise in their chests. We believe this an excellent opportunity and the proper time to inform our readers of the fact that the editor of The Tribune is a Texan and a product of Tillotson College at Austin. The article follows: Senator Sherman's recent tirade upon the administration in general and the part Texans are playing in particular was very amusing, if not interesting, and while the Observer cannot condemn or agree with everything the solon uttered on the floor of congress, it does know that not only are white Texans making their presence felt at Washington, but former colored Texans are cutting big swaths of ice throughout the country, from the nation's capital down. Holds Big Position Perhaps the biggest position ever held by a race man in the history of the race in this country is now occupied by a Texas offspring, Dr. Emmett Jay Scott, a Houston boy, former newspaper man in this city, and product of Wily University, Marshall who has been drafted to serve as assistant secretary of war in the cabinet of President Wilson during the war. Mr. Scott is an honor to his native state and is doing the race and nation incalculable good. Publisher In the publishing business it remained for a Texas, Dr. R. H. Boyd, to lead all the other denominations of the race in the printing and publishing industry, and today the National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn., of which he is the distinguished and proficient head, ranks as the greatest plant of its kind among our people in the world. It affords decent and profitable employment to many race men and women and produces literature for the Baptist denomination. It stands as a monument to the brains and possibilities of the black Americans. Soldier It was a Texan, Colonel Franklin A. Denison, who hails from San Antonio, who had the distinction of being the only member of the black race to lead a regiment of colored soldiers to the battlefields of France from America. In civil life he was honored with some of the highest positions in the state of Illinois, being assistant attorney general of that state at the outbreak of the present conflict. As a lawyer, he stands shoulder to shoulder with the leading barristers of the Prairie state, and as a military expert and leader it has long since been conceded that he "knew his stuff and could peel his onion without getting any juice in his eyes." Minister In the ministerial realm, Texas has given the North a pastor for the largest church of that section, membership considered, which is the Olivet Baptist church, Chicago, Ill., and the shepherd of that flock is the Reverend Lacy Kirk Williams, former pastor of Mount Gilead Baptist church, Fort Worth, and a product of Bishop College, Marshall, Texas. As a pulpiteer, Dr. Williams has no superior in the American pulpit, and was often called the "pulpit Demosthenes of Tex as." Expert Y. M. C. A. Man In the Young Men's Christian Association work, Texas has given the country one of her most noble and manly sons in the person of Professor John Brown Watson, himself a Bishop College product. He is an expert in Y. M. C. A. work and is city field secretary with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. Teacher In the educational realm, Texas can point with pride to Prof. J. R. E. Lee, the eminent and efficient principal of the Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo., and formerly dean of the academic department of Tuskegee Institute. Professor Lee was the first collegiate graduate of Bishop College (Continued on Page Three.) NEGRO SOLDIERS MARCH IN LIBERTY LOAN PARADE HELD AT YUMA ARIZ. YUMA, Ariz., Oct. 14—In a campaign among the colored citizens here Yuma has brought up the rear in the Fourth Liberty Loan drive. The monster parade, which was the culmination of this drive, was marked for its simplicity and unsurpassed by its grandeur. No patriotic demonstration in the history of Arizona has anything like equaled it. Every unit of strength for democracy was represented except the Colored Red Cross. Why was this? Our boys of the Twenty-fifth were there and at their best. Everybody who witnessed the parade had to "take off their hats" to these boys. In marching they presented a perfect front. Every movement, was as uniformly carried out as the rising and setting of the sun. Some one in the crowd said: "We have to give to them; they are there." Mr. Felix McCrory is making a good baggage master at the S. P. depot. This is the type of man we want the public to view. His downright honesty, integrity and ability are responsible for this success. "Tis said that; "Every dog has his day"; well, we know one that had his. Mr. Johnson's popular barber, Mr. N. M. Staten, bought a bull terrier pup for $10, and before the pup even got settled down in his new home, his master sold him for $35. That's SOME profit, Mr. Staten. Keep it up. It beats barbering. Mr. A. J. Tullus, a prominent young business man of Somerton was a visitor in Yuma Friday. He was en route to Los Angeles, where he will purchase stock for his new fish market, which will be located in Somerton. Mrs. Alex Hogan is improving her property by building a beautiful porch to her home. The Tribune representative has been invited out this afternoon for the purpose of giving it the "once over." Mr. E. E. Rainwater expects his brother, Dr. W. E. Rainwater, on a visit to Yuma and Phoenix next Sunday and Monday. The doctor's son has been in Yuma six weeks for the benefit of his health. His improvement has been wonderful. Messrs. Felix McCrory, Booster and Locket went on a big fishing trip last Wednesday. They made it hot for minnows. A very speedy recovery visited Mr. and Mrs. Leon Wilson, who were out riding Sunday. Mr. Tom McCrory is the healthiest man in the city. His motto is: "Always up and going." Mrs. E. T. Johnson, who was afflicted with Spanish influenza, has fully recovered. Mrs. White will entertain the ladies of the Red Cross on Thursday. Mr. Potts of Somerton is reported ill. He is suffering with Spanish influenza. Mr. Harry Nelson of Tucson was a visitor in Yuma Saturday. Mr. Ollie Brown was a Sunday visitor to Somerton. Mrs. Shelton is entertaining a party of friends tonight at her home on Maiden Lane. A grand time is anticipated. Mrs. Ella Lynn says the Tribune is a splendid paper and the whole family enjoys reading it. Master Walter Turner is doing some extra work delivering groceries, and he is making good. We know why he is so punctual. It's on account of the Tin Lizzy he drives. Mr. and Mrs. Stafford are at home to their friends on Madison avenue. TUCSON A number of friends of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Hayes surprised Mrs. Hayes on her birthday last Thursday evening, October 10 An enjoyable time was had by all present. Refreshments were served and the guests departed at a late hour.

COLORED TROOPS TAKE PART IN STORMING METZ FORTRESS SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. — The First Separate Company (coldred), the only organization of colored men in the Maryland National Guard, is a part of the first field army under American command and is with the men of that army who are assembled in Lorraine, threatening the great German fortress of Metz. It is one of the companies of the 372d infantry of the 92d division, commanded by Major General C. C. Ballou. The 92d is one of the divisions of the Fourth Army Corps. The whole division is made up of colored troops. The colored men, who in the summer of 1916, were marching back and forth in the neighborhood of their armory on Biddle street, near Linden avenue, are therefore doing just as much, are just as ready to make sacrifices as their white comrades of the First, Fourth and Fifth regiments, Battery A, and all the other old Maryland National Guard commands. The First Separate company, colored, left Baltimore somewhat in advance of the other Maryland Guard commands in the summer of 1914 and went to Pittsburg. I stayed there for several weeks and then moved to a camp in Virginia, and from the Virginia camp to Anniston. For a time the company was in the remount station. Then it was taken into the 372d in a body, being among the last to leave Anniston and to be absorbed into the 92d division at the port of embarkation. Captain William R. Spencer, a colored man, who organized the company in the 80s and who had commended since then, did not go over with his men, although he made determined efforts to do so. He was disqualified because of physical disability. There are about 250 men in the company. WHAT'S THE IDEA? WASHINGTON.—After being told at the ordnance department that his plans for a great explosive were the best the department had seen, and that he should start to work on them immediately at whatever salary he desired, Harry Keelan, a chemist, employed b ya large New York munition firm, next day received a telegram from the war department saying that his services could not be used. Mr. Keelan came to Washington a week ago at the recommendation of his firm. His explosive, as set forth in their letter to the department of ordnance, was said to be twice as deadly as any now employed by the United States government. The Aetna Explosives company has employed Mr. Keelan to work out his plans for their own plant. He is a Harvard graduate and one of the best known colored chemists of the country. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, Saturday, October 19, 1918 WAR SOMETIMES PROVE BLESSING IN DISGUISE SAYS FLORIDA EDITOR (Note:—The following article is from the pen of E. J. Moore, contributing editor of the Tampa Bulletin, a race paper published at Tampa, Florida. Mr. Moore is one of the brainiest Negroes in the newspaper fraternity and his writings command the attention of all right thinking men and women. Following is the article:) War is sometimes called a necessary evil. But, whether necessary or unnecessary, it is undoubtedly an evil. Even in the case of an individual it is often necessary to fight in order to defend one's self or to retain one's self-respect. And so too, with nations, it is often necessary to resort to arms in order that certain principles be maintained, and that right and justice may prevail. Thus we see that it is sometimes absolutely impossible to avoid war, however much we may dislike it. But we started out to discuss whether or not good can come out of such an evil. Let us see.

Mrs. Howard Brown spent a few days here with her husband before he left for Norfolk, Va., to work in the shipyards. She returned to Phoenix this week. Mrs. J. H. Rouse of Douglas is visiting in the city. She will remain several days. Mrs. Elizabeth L. Glynn of Fort Huachuca is here for an indefinite stay. Mr. A. R. Ross, one of our oldest citizens, who recently took unto himself a bride, is confined to his home with a severe case of influenza. Mrs. J. Elam, who has been confined with influenza, is much improved at this time. Mrs. Corinne Francewari is another victim of the influenza. The disease is spreading rapidly among the colored people here, but we are glad it is no worse than it is. The following men have been called to report for examination on next Tuesday: C. C. Collins, John Matlow, Will Taylor, Roy M. Jones, Harry Richardson. A number of men from Douglas are here to report for examination. The streets are beginning to look very much like the days of old. Jessie Mae McCually is rapidly recovering from a recent illness. TRIBUNE HUN PAPERS ROMP ON MOB VIOLENCE IN UNITED STATES THE HAGUE.—For some time the German press has been laying particular stress upon the exaggerating stories intended to give the impression that Germans are being lynched in America. The same reports are published, republished, quoted and requoted in order to give the impression that lynching Germans is indulged in as a daily sport in America. The Munich Neueste Nachrichten says that at the Berne prisoner conference the German representatives will have the opportunity of bringing up the question of Praeger, who was lynched, remarking questions were asked of the foreign office representative at the last session of the Reichstag on this case. It calls attention to the cases of Consuls Bopp and Shack of San Francisco, which, it says, should be made the subject of an interpellation in the Reichstag. The paper says that the German delegates should bring up the whole question at the conference and be able to assure better, treatment for Germans in America. The Kolnische Volkszeitung publishes a long article headed "President Wilson, Judge Lynch, Mister Mob." The article asserts that formerly American writers alleged that the crime of lynching existed only in the black belt, but now, the paper declares, lynch law belongs to the approved rites of "culture" in the United States. "The most horrible scenes of human bestiality which can be recorded," it goes on, "are quite natural for the Yankee. * * * He no longer gets excited over a lynching and is only ashamed when foreigners call attention to this 'people's culture.'" It is always asserted, the paper proceeds, that mobs and the scum of the people are responsible for the lynchings. "Every American who uses the word mob in this sense," it adds, "lies, be- (Continued on Page Two.) INTERESTING NEWS DIRECT FROM PARIS By Wm. Stevenson, Overseas Corres- pondent of National Negro Press Association At the ship we were met by several Y. M. C. A. men with a truck and taken immediately to the hotel the "Y" runs for the accommodation of its workers. After visiting several places of interest and having dinner at the excellent Y. M. C. A. cafe, we retired for the evening. At the depot the next morning the leader of our party took a group of pictures of the workers. Shortly after all of us boarded a train for Paris. All along the road we saw unmistakable signs of war. Women were working in the fields, acting as porters at the depots, pushing immense trucks of luggage and on the train serving as conductors and waiters. At every station Red Cross nurses came through the train collecting funds, and at one place we saw a train-load of wounded French soldiers—a vivid reminder of war. A little after eight o'clock we arrived in Paris, the great city of which we had heard so much and knew so little. It was dark except for a few street lights. The stillness which existed was almost uncanny. Crowds of people stood about the depot, including many Y. M. C. A. workers. Immediately an autobus was filled with members of our party and driven hurriedly across the River Rivoli. After we had unloaded our baggage, which consisted of almost every kind of luggage and which we had packed under and over us, we entered the hotel and immediately sat down to dinner. There we were met by some of the officials of the Y. M. C. A., who made us welcome and wished us good luck in our new and perilous field of labor. At eleven o'clock we retired, worn (Continued from Page Two.) COLORED PEOPLE IN GILA COUNTY ARIZ. MAKE WONDERFUL PROGRESS DURING PAST TWENTY FIVE YEARS SOLUTION OF NEGRO PROBLEM LIES IN PROPER USE OF BALLOT By E. S. Newell TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 14. — The church-going people are at a loss as to what to do with themselves since the epidemic has caused all places of public meeting to be closed. The members of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. and all members in general are asking their pastor how long it will be before they are privileged to go about their church work again. We will say for their benefit that just as soon as the government lifts the ban on public meetings, Mt. Calvary Baptist church will fling wide her doors and bid everyone welcome. Mrs. Maggie Turner has been quite ill the past week, but is much improved at this writing. She was visited by the pastor of the Baptist church who, with the husband and sister, Mrs. I.B. Watson, knelt in prayer and invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon the sick woman. We are indeed pleased to report the condition of Mrs. Li zzie White as greatly improved over that of last week. Due to the active and efficient work of Senior Warden J. A. C. Jones, Secretary E. A. Barron, Treasurer Carl A. Hardy, and through the loyal co-operation of West Temple lodge, No. 425, F. & A. M., this lodge was enabled to report in full the first installment of relief and endowment funds. This action places West Temple in class A-1. My version of Exodus, fourth chapter, second verse, which reads thus, "What is that in thy hand?" is given below: Jehovah was determined to have Moses convinced that it was the voice of God speaking through the burning bush. The same God that spoke to Moses is now speaking to the American Negro. "What is that in thy hand?" is the question that is being asked. I contend that we hold in our hand the solution of our own problem, and now is the time for us to solve it. We stand with the ballot in one hand and are privileged to vote. The Negro is truly American, and on going to the polls should cast his ballot for the principles which stand for Democracy and Americanism. Should sentiment or partisan politics determine the Negro vote in the coming campaign? I take the authority to answer. No., a thousand times NO! While the Negro has nothing to boast of from the standpoint of a party, yet he is confronted with the problem of choosing between two great political parties—Democrat and Republican. There still remain three other spokes in the political wheel. We should be men, manly men, and never permit ourselves to be bought and pulled around by crafty politicians, for the sake of a job, or a few paltry dollars. If the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States means anything, it means that we are full-fledged Americans, and as such I shall call upon every member of the race not to pollute or barter that privilege which is the dearest possession of an American, in fact, the one thing that makes you an American and that is the right of franchise—the ballot. In politics and in all great questions that arise, the Negro should demand nothing more than the same rights and privileges that are granted to other Americans, and he should be satisfied with nothing less. Again, you are asked: "What is that in thy hand?" I say you have the pay envelope in your hand, and a mighty factor it is when properly used. If the Negro, with the wages he is now earning, would save his money judiciously, make wise and safe investments in improved property and buy and read more Negro papers and other race lit- (Continued on Page Two.) 5 CENTS A COPY; $2 A-YEAR SSIVE IN GILA COUNTY DERFUL PROGRESS WENTY FIVE YEARS A Report of Conditions as They Exist Among the Colored People in Southern Arizona. By Alvin Booth. GLOBE, Arizona, Oct. 17.—The progress made by the colored people of Gila county, Arizona, during the past twenty-five years has been phenomenal. At present there are upwards of two hundred and fifty colored men in this county, 50 per cent of whom are married and have families. The majority of these men own their own homes. Their holdings are mostly town realty and they are worth from $3,000 to $20,000 in their own right. Good Schools and Churches For the most part, the colored population of Gila county are a sober and industrious people, commanding the respect of all business men. At present we have two churches, Baptist and Methodist, with regular, paid ministers for each. The church edifices are valued at $800 each and are good, substantial frame buildings. We also have a Masonic lodge which meets twice each month, and in addition to this is the Progressive club. These organizations have a membership of about twenty each and are in a flourishing condition. There is a county schoolhouse, given over directly to the colored children, under the supervision of the county school superintendent. The teacher is a colored lady and highly cultured, a graduate of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. Industrial Pursuits There is one high class billiard and club room in Miami, owned and managed by members of the race. Messrs. Coleman and White are the gentlemen who own this enterprise. The others of the male population are employed as drivers of delivery wagons, porters and employees of the mines and railroads in various capacities. A few of the more wealthy members have reached that station in life where they can speculate in real estate and the buying and selling of stocks, mining property, etc. The past six or seven years our people have given an Emancipation picnic on the 19th of June of each year. These picnics have always been enlivened by an interesting program, consisting of eloquent addresses and other literary endeavor. Ball games, foot races and many other sports are indulged in at these gatherings. An account of this celebration is always given considerable space in our leading home papers. These picnics have been attended by our white brothers from all over the county, and they have been made welcome in every sense. Politics Politically, the majority of the colored people are inclined to the Republican party. There are some who are Democrats. Wages Good I wish particularly to call attention to the superior advantages which Arizona, and especially this county, offer the colored laborer. This is a good field for the industrious black man. Wages range from $5.15 to $6.00 per day of eight hours for common labor. Living expenses are low, costing on an average of $1.00 per day. Families can live much cheaper. While Arizona is note dfor high rents, good homes may be secured at a reasonable rent. I wish to say that women find ready employment here. God cooks are paid a salary of $45 to $50 a month, and in most instances a room is furnished. I also can truthfully say that a colored man has the same privileges as his white brother, provided he has the is noted for high rents, good homes terest in public enterprises. He is given an equal opportunity of increasing his worldly holdings with others engaged in the same business. Again, I wish to say that, in my opinion, Arizona presents a splendid field for the means, to buy in on stocks or an industrious, economical and respectable. From my past experiences in this county I can say that this class will receive a cordial welcome and be ac- (Continued on Page Three.) *”AGE TWO Arizona’s Greatest Weekly Phoenix, Arizona Published Every Saturday by the Tribune Publishing Company Ce ee ee Address all Communications to the PHOENIX TRIBUNE P. 0.

The headline of this advertisement read thus: “UNCLE SAM NEEDS YOU", and it went on to say that MEN who were experienced Auto Mechanics, Truck Drivers, etc., should apply at once to Recruiting Headquarters in the Chamber of Com- merce, and enlist. Responding nobly, patriotically and heroically to this call of the government for MEN, our black boys were met with this state- ment: “No units for black men have as yet been formed, and we have no orders to enlist them. However, should a government call be made to enlist black men for this branch of service, you will be notified.” We recite the above, not as a reflection upon the government or the manner in which it is being run, for it is our candid belief that in time our black Mechanics, Auto Drivers, ete., will be called for induction in the Motor ‘Transport Corps;"but we recite it in order to impress forcibly upon our read: ere—especially those of our race—the fact that a general advertisement in. viling the PUBLIC to come to a meeting or place, does not always imply that black faces are welcome, We hope our people will learn a lesson from this ‘and not be so quick to believe that every appeal to the public includes them. Nobody advertises in a Negro newspaper that does not want the patron age of colored people. Every one who does advertise in a Negro newspaper certainly wants your trade. Their advertisements which appear in that paper are intended to influence, persuade, or personally invite the reader If you trade with our advertisers, then you KNOW you are right.

Our limited knowledge tells us the writer was filled with irony when he wrote the last two sentences in that paragraph; however, we shall make the most of it. “Splendid representative of its patrons”. That is exactly what we are trying to make the Phoenix Tribune, and believe we are succeeding.

We trust our patrons keep their thoughts and tongues as free from vilification and abuse, from sarcasm and ridicule, from everything objectionable, as we keep the columns of the Tribune.

The next morning we reported to headquarters and, incidentally, saw some of the city of Paris. | At seven o'clock in the evening, accompanied by three other “Y” men, I had dinner at the restaurant of the Y. M.C. A. We had just left the dining room and were congratulating ourselves upon our safe arrival in France whep, suddenly, we heard a shrill noise. Chills ran through my body. What could this thing be? We stopped. At each other we looked in amazement. We could do nothing else. People were running hither and thither. We heard voices but ¢ould see no one. Finally, looking down, we saw in the cellars the people we had heard. Then we knew; we were positive an air raid was on, for we had read in the newspapers, as all ‘the world has, that when the Germans atack London and Paris from the air ‘the people flee to their cellars, the safest place to go at such a time. The noise we had heard was the siren whistle and was mounted on one of ‘the many automobiles which run ‘swiftly through the city notifying the populace when the Germans are about to make a raid. It was the signal to “take to cover.” Every Frenchman knows what it means and obeys, and now every American knows and has learned to obey the warning. In a few moments we heard the booming of guns, hundreds of them, it seemed. These constituted the barage which the French put up’ around the city to prevent the enemy oe coming in with his Gothas. Most of the few lights we had seen were now extinguished. Every now and then we heard reports, different in sound than all the others. These were made by the bombs dropped by German airmen. ‘The streets now resented an even |more dreary scene than before. Ex- ‘cept for Red Cross ambulances and Y. M. C.

Sats aid 1 heat the pes. ‘maining in the darkened lobby of the ‘hotel until it was declared off. | On the fifth day the people were very much puazled at the discharge of shells every twenty minutes. ‘They were puizaled because the French avi- ators were ufiable to locate any Ger- man machines. That day, in com- pany with two friends, 1 visited the great Luxembourg Gardens. It was there we learned that the despicable Huns were attacking the city from the front, about seventy miles away, with @ long-range gun. I know these shells fell every twenty minutes for, like many, other persons, I timed them. However, the people continu- ed to go about attending to their business and enjoying themselves. Their spirit is not broken, and it wil not be for they are fighting for the ideals they have so long cherished At one place I saw an amusing piece of verse, printed in English, which ran as follows: “Here's to the Kaiser, the Limberger cheese, May the smell in his head go down to his knees; May he break his d—m neck on the Hindenburg line, And go to h—I croaking the ‘Watch on the Rhine.” ‘The Kaiser's effort, by way of air raids, to spread terrorism has only resulted in strengthening the French People’s determination to win. Strange to say that on the day the Germans began to bombard the city I saw more of Paris than on any other day. ‘This was not my fault, however. My time was growing short and I wanted to see as much of the city as possible. Among other things I saw the won- derful Column Vendome which was erected to the memory of Napoleon. It is said to have been constructed out of the cannon captured by Na- poleon, and on it are many figures depicting the wars of the world. J also visited the beautiful Tuileries Gardens, the site upon which I was told, one of the kings of France lived. ‘These gardens are located across the street from the hotel where I stopped. One of the shells from the big gun fell there. No one ‘was hurt, but there was a large hole in the ground, and a wall which i ‘struck was partly demolished. While these attacks occur almost every day they have not deterred the people in their effort to save their city from the brutal Huns. The men are fight ing as never before and while they fight, their women, a courageous lot are doing a great part of their work Such a nation cannot, will not, giv up. It cannot lose, for its cause i Just. It did not begin the war; th enemy must give up or fight unti defeated, as surely it will be if i continues the conflict.

He was one of the greatest generals the world has ever known, but he was almost equally great in other ways. As a statesman ‘he was preeminent in his time; as an orator he was second only to Cicero; that he was a masterly historian is shown by his “Commentaries on the Gallic and Civil Wars.” ‘Thé Norman conquest, which was determined by the battle of Hastings (1066) was regarded as one of the decisive battles of the world’s history The effect of this upon Anglo-Saxon civiligation is one of the outstanding features of that age. ‘The Saracens, in their three cru- sades to the east and Holy Land, left their stamp upon the world’s civiliza- tion, It is from them that we re- ceived our mode of notation, called Arabic figures, and the terms “alge- bra,” “alcohol,” ‘alchemy,” “zenith;” ete. all of which are Arabic and at- test the influénce of that remarkable people on the science of the Middle Ages. The French revolution, diabolical s it was, prepared the way for a bet- ter and wiser France. It seems that in every age of the world’s history esome warrior will be produced to cope with the conditions, however precarious they may be. The first fifteen’ years of the nineteenth cen- tury im Europe yield us the history of @ man, rather than of a continent. France was the cefter of Europe; Napoleon, the Corsican, was the cen- ter of France. All the affairs of all ‘the nations seemed to gather around this genius of war. He was respected, feared, hated; he had risen with the suddenness of a thundercloud on a clear horizon, and flashed the light- nings of victory in the dazzled eyes ct the nations, All the events of thé ‘period were concentrated into one great event, and the mame of that made possible the greatest country event was Napoleon. He seemed in- carnate war, organized destruction; sword in hand he dominated the na- tions, an@ victory sat on his banners with folded wings. He was, in a full sense, the man of destiny, and Europa was his prey. But Napoleon has left his imprint that shall withstand the ravages of time. The Declaration of ~ Independence, one of the greatest literary documents in the annals of history, is a product of the Revolutionary “war which has in the world today; and is doing more for the perpetuation of world democ- raey than all the other allied countries combined. And this is a product of war. ‘The Emancipation Proclamation Saturday, October 19, 1918 stands today as the greatest document in the history of this country, and the name of Abraham Lincoln has be- come immortalized and will live while, marble and bronze shal lendure. But it took four yetirs of cruel war to liberate the nearly four million slaves, We are now engaged in the greatest and bleodiest conflict in the history of the world. And while we are giving the flower of our manhood for this noble cause, it is also true that much good has come out of it, not only to! this nation ‘in general, but to the Negro race in particular. It is un- necessary to enumerate the many, seemingly small blessings that have already come to the Negro as a direct cause of the war, but suffice it to say that, robbed of all its horrors and holocaust of ‘blood, we see in it “Our Second Emancipation.” Fish House | Fried Fish atall Hours REGULAR DINNER EVERY DAY Special Chicken Dihnér on Sunday Old Fashion Home Cooking ’ Give Us a Trial J.W.

Insurance Man In insurance, the Lone Star state has given to America the leading light and guiding genius of the intricacies of that branch of business, and today the Standard Life Insurance Company, Atlanta, Ga., attests this fact and the success of the concern is largely attributable to Hon. Herman Perry, who saw the light of day in this city. Physician The medical profession in the Central west has been forced to look to Texas for thoroughly trained and well versed disciples of Aesculapius, and Dr. J. E. Perry, Kansas City, Mo., was instrumental in launching one of the best equipped hospitals for the race in that part of the country. Now Chicago has seized Dr. B. R. Bluitt of Dallas, who hereafter will be associated with the famous and noted surgeon, Dr. Daniel Williams of the Windy City. Pathologist The first colored man to occupy the position of instructor in pathology at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., was a Texan, Dr. J. G. Osborns, acting principal of Prairie View State Normal and one of the leading scientists of the day, who for several years was dean of the science department of Bishop College, his alma mater. Bishop The only colored prelate in the Methodist Episcopal church, North, to attain the bishopric office, Bishop I. B. Scott, has the made-in-Texas stamp upon him and he is one of the most remarkable men of his church. Lawyer In the legal profession, Attorney Wilfred H. Smith, New York City, who claims, Galveston as his starting ground and who was more instrumental in placing black men on the juries in Texas than all the other legal lights combined—ranks with the best lawyers that the east possesses and has made an enviable reputation in the Empire State. Prohibitionist One of the most vigorous and determined opponents of the reign of John Barleycorn in this country is Mrs. E. E. Peterson, Texarkana, who has given her life in an earnest endeavor to forever eradicate that hideous and hefarious monster from our domain, and her name is known wherever the cause of a dry America has been proclaimed. On the Stage In the theatrical world one only has to behold or read of S. H. Dudley, who rose into fame and prominence in the original Smart Set Co., and who is now a magnate and promoter. As a laugh producer he has few equals and no superiors and will be remembered as long as minstrelsy is in the reminiscences of mankind. Others included in the theatrical galaxy of noted stage celebrities are Robert (Bob) Cole, Harry Fiddler and Comedian Skinner, to say nothing of others who have risen to heights on the legitimate stage. Intellectual Giant Our list would be far from complete were we to omit the noted author, orator, philosopher and lecturer, Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, Memphis, Tenn., who has long since been recognized, regarded and rated as one of the most prolific and profound speakers on the American platform. Dr. Griggs is a very deep thinker and has written some books that have materially assisted in bringing about a better understanding between the two races in the South. He has often been misunderstood and maligned, but his efforts for his race and for mankind shall forever stand as an imperishable monument to his humanitarian and utilitarian service. Texas, Bishop College and the black race feel proud of this distinguished intellectual Titan. Political In the political arena, the Hon. Norris Wright Cuney stands out as one of the most astute and brilliant politicians in the history of the republic, and he was a commanding figure not only in the Texas G. O. P., but in the national ranks. The political freedom that the race enjoys in Galveston today is the result of Cuney's great and untiring efforts on behalf of the race. He was against lily-whiteism in all its forms and was an uncompromising enemy of all forces that tended to block and retard the onward march of the party of Lincoln and Grant. Evangelist In the evangelical field, the late Rev. 1. Tolliver looms up as one of the most successful revivalists and gospel preachers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and his onslaughts against the bulwarks of Satan made great inroads into the ranks of the satanic forces and many souls were added to the cause of King Immanuel. Though his eyes are closed in placid slumber, yet his work still goes on and all America revives his sainted memory. Composer In music, Prof. William A.

His body sleeps beneath the sod in his native city, Marshall, and blessed is his repose. Baseball Manager Now it is a Texan, Dr. Willis J. King, who hails from the precinct near Calvert, who has shown the sporting world that Texas not only produces great and noted players of the national pastime, but that this state also develops men capable of managing and directing the best semi-professional team in America. The American Giants of Chicago, who have a monopoly on the semi-pro-championship gonfalon this year, are living testimonials of his managerial ability and baseball astuteness. They have a habit of putting the kibosh on all the best white and colored, as well as mixed aggregations of the north and east, and then weep for other teams to vanquish from the baseball map Jack Johnson The greatest heavyweight pugilist of all time, the man who caused the sporting fraternity to spend sleepless nights and wearisome and weary days trying to sort out a bevy of hopeless hate hopes" to remove the world's championship crown from his dark dome; that fighter who feared no man in the ring, even if he did lose all his fights out of the roped arena; that mauler whose ebony-hued fist haunts Jim Jeffries to this late date; that pugilist of many and varied eccentricities and idiosyncrasies, the original and only John Arthur (Jack) Johnson, is a Texas product and, while we do not agree with or subscribe to all that Jack did in civil and domestic life, it does not dispute the fact that he was one of the greatest and gamest fighters that ever donned the gloves and the entire race feels proud of his pugilistic attainments and accomplishments. G. O. S. In many other lines Texans are proving their metal in different parts of the country, and even on the battlefields of France, for it is a grand old state and consequently its products will inherit some of those good and great qualities and characteristics. The Lone Star state is a bright, glaring and flaring planet in the great twinkle, little star! Colored Citizens--Your Attention!

A good term, in fact, the only one that truly expresses the climatic conditions in this state, is IDEAL—never too hot nor too cold. While the thermometer reaches above the 100 mark in many parts of Arizona, the heat is never oppressive. The light atmosphere and the absence of humidity make these conditions possible. Governor Hunt Praised Before closing, I wish to state for those whom I represent that we appreciate the kindly feeling which exists between white and black people of the state. Many Caucasians here have extended personal courtesies to us, and we unhesitatingly thank them. No complaint has ever been made in any community where we conduct ourselves as good moral men and women. We also thank our white brothers for the many contributions which have never failed to be given when asked for. It is with considerable pride that I refer to the fact that I was chosen as one of the men to represent the colored population of Arizona at the Emancipation convention at Philadelphia during the month of September, 1913. My appointment was made by Governor Geo. W. P. Hunt, with whom I am personally acquainted. I have been employed by the Old Dominion Commercial Company while the governor was the head of that concern, and through him I have been able to secure holdings in the stock of that company. This establishment is the largest mercantile concern in Gila county and among the largest in the state of Arizona. Large Property Owners Large Property Owners For the benefit of the reader I give below the names and amounts that some of the colored people in Gila count yare worth. This list, representing upward of $64,000, is by no means complete, but space forbids me to give a perfect list of all property owners in this county. Following is the list: Over Here You Have a Mission Amendment 100 on the Ballot Vote and Work for 100 We heard of a fellow claiming exemption on the ground that his wife and mother were dependent upon him for support, as he had to bring the clothes for them every Monday for the washing.

WOMAN'S HAND CAUGHT (By Dora Rose) PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oct. 15.—Mrs. Hattie Collins, an employee of the Head Hotel in the laundry department, suffered a very painful accident Monday, when her hand was caught in the wringer and mashed quite severely. She wore a ring upon a finger of the hand that was caught in the wringer and it was ground into the flesh. Fortunately, no bones were broken. Mrs. Collins was alone at the time and managed to extricate her hand unaided. The bruised member has been skilfully treated by a physician, and no serious results are anticipated. Mrs. Collins is doing nicely at this time. Mrs. M. Mitchell has returned to Prescott after a pleasant stay in San Francisco, Cal. Messrs. Tabron, Young and Cannon went on a bunting trip last Tuesday, returning late in the evening. It is reported here that Rev. J. H. Williams of Gallup, N. M., is seriously ill. He is suffering with influenza. The Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society held its weekly meeting at the residence of Mrs. John Jordan. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows.
