An Advertisement in THE TRIBUNE Is a DIRECT APPEAL to the Colored People PHOENIX COLORED CITIZENS ORGANIZED PHOENIX THE PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE OF THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA THE PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE OF THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA Much has been said and written relative to the present status of colored Americans and their future. Many theories have been advanced as to the best policy for them to pursue—some have advocated colonization, others have advised a return to Africa, and even to Mexico and other countries. There might be merit in some of these theories, but they have never appealed to us. As a group of American citizens, we should map our a policy right here in our own country where we have lived, worked and sweated for three hundred years. We are as much entitled to the rights and privileges of American citizenship as any other group of citizens in it. It is true that we came here as slaves, but in every emergency we have responded to the country's call and have therefore earned our right sas citizens from duty well performed. This has been done all the way from Revolutionary times down to the great world war which has just ended. No group of American citizens entered into the great world conflict more enthusiastically, loyally and faithfully than colored men and women. Their praises are on every tongue; on the battle fields of France they went through the very jaws of hell. They played a mighty part and our worst enemies will not deny it. In the war activities at home the women, men and children who could not go to the front did their whole duty as loyal American citizens in purchasing Liberty Bonds, War Saving and Tinrift Stamps and the great United War Works drive for the aid and comfort of soldier boys since the armistice was declared, and they are just as ready now as they were during the last two years to do whatever other duty that may develop upon them as American citizens. Now, in view of this great race record, shall we despair and let the enemy destroy all of our morale and feel that we are unworthy of every right and privilege this country has given us? By no means. We should stay here and "fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." Let us grant that we do not get a square deal in the South; let us grant we are discriminated against and lynched and burned, and, sometimes, in te North. Yet there is no reason why we should go to some country about which we know nothing. If we can not get a square deal in the South, then we should go to some other section where we can get it. We complain that down South, where more than ten million Negroes have lived for generations, that we are deprived of the right to vote and have that vote fairly counted. We complain—and justly so—that we do not get equal accommodation on the railroads and street cars; we complain that we do not get an equitable share of the school funds, and that our children are not decently educated, that they can not secure that education which is necessary to make them good citizens. These citations are true, yet that is no reason why we should become discouraged; for in the majority sections of our country, the right to vote and have that vote fairly counted is not denied. On the railway cars up there, no one is denied equal accommodation on account of race or color; and barring the discrimination made by the labor unions, black men and women have access to mills, factories and most other places of labor. Hence it seems to us that it is up to us as a people, to change our economic, political and civic status in this country. The main thing needed is a wise and constructive policy; If we can not get it in this section, it is up to us go to where we can get it. At least two-thirds of the country in which we have lived, moved and had our being for three hundred years, are willing to give us the same rights and privileges as they are any other race group—and here is where we must make it. We must take advantage of the opportunities we have. If we cannot do it in the South, then do it in the North, East and West. But we can never do it unless we have a thorough understanding among ourselves—some definite plan mapped out by a wise and able leadership to which the entire race can address itself. In our opinion, here lies the solution of our race problems. This has never been done and we can never succeed until it has been done. Therefore, let us quit thinking that if we are not treated right in the South that we are doomed forever and eternally, for the South is only a small section of this great country, and one section of the country is as much ours as the South, and we should be wise and able enough to work out our salvation as a race by going where our rights are accorded and respected.—Atlanta Independent. VOLUME I. NO.48 Much has been said and written of colored Americans and their advanced as to the best policy for vocated colonization, others have even to Mexico and other countries of these theories, but they have.

It is true that we emergency we have responded to fore earned our right sas citizens has been done all the way from great world war which has just entered into the great world ally and faithfully than colored men on every tongue; on the battle for the very jaws of hell.

Now, in view of this great race the enemy destroy all of our more of every right and privilege this year. We should stay here and "fight all summer." Let us grant that we South; let us grant we are discerned, and, sometimes, in te No we should go to some country all we can not get a square deal in some other section where we can South, where more than ten millions, that we are deprived of the fairly counted.

Hence as a people, to change our economic country. The main thing needed. If we can not get it in this section get it.

This has never been until it has been done. Therefore, let us quit thinking in the South that we are doomed for is only a small section of this great country is as much ours as the Sable enough to work out our salva rights are accorded and respected. MEXICO MAY HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT Villa's Strength Reported Greater Than in 1916 WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—An anti-Carranza movement in Mexico when the Mexican Congress meets in special session April 1, was predicted here today in circles known to be in close touch with the so-called revolutionists. Carranza has summed the congress for the announced purpose of framing legislation repealing his confiscatory oil decree of last summer. Felix Diaz, Paliez, Villa and other anti-Carranza leaders are declared to be inciting outlying provinces against Mexico City on the grounds that the proposed constitution is a delivery of Mexican rights to foreign interests. Reliable information is that Villa's strength is greater than it was in 1916. Diaz representatives are reported to be openly active at Havana. Obregon's approval of a coalition revolution has bene sought, it is also learned. Obregon is regarded as the likely successor to Carranza in the 1920 elections and is generally believed to be opposed to strife at this time. Authorita tive opinion is that he could be induced to head a new government if the expected clash comes and overturns the Carranza administration.

ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1919 10,000 TROOPS LAND AT NEW YORK HARBOR HOBOKEN, N. J., Feb. 18.—Nearly 10,000 troops were unloaded from the giant transport Legiathan at its dock here today. The soldiers were mostly Negroes. The units included the 371st regiment (colored) complete, 104 officers and 2,660 men; 372nd infantry (colored) complete, 77 officers and 2,065 men; field and staff and headquarters company 163rd infantry, 11 officers and 252 men; medical detachment and Third battalion 366th infantry (colored) 5 officers and 1,329 men; Brest convalescent detachments numbers 24 to 34 inclusive, 37, 38, 39, 41 and 42—3,132 officers and men, all sick and wounded. BULLETS STOP MOB THAT WAS BENT ON WRECKING VIOLENCE Whites Flee When Shots Fly Thick— Set Trap for Wealthy Farmer BLAKELY, Ga., Feb. 18.—A wholesale attempt to drive a respectable family from this city met with stout resistance when four white men were shot dead. The shooting occurred at the home of Henry Bryant. Bryant's home is located near the Georgia & Florida railroad tracks. Ninety acres of rich farm land is said to have angered the white farmers and they determined to run the Bryant family out. Trap Is Set In order to stir up anger among the farmers in the district a white family by the name of Hightower endeavored to use their daughter, Clare Hightower, as a means of trapping one of the Bryant boys. Since the death of the elder Mr. Bryant his sons have been looking after the affairs of the farm. This young white girl made frequent visits to the Bryan home. About two years ago she claimed that she gave Henry Bryant, one of the sons, $500 as a personal gift, and urged him to go to some other town, and she would follow. He refused. Ever since this was commonly known bitter feeling has been aimed at the Bryant's. Fire on Mob Recently a crowd of white farmers appeared at the Bryant home late in the night and demand entrance. They were heavily armed. The Bryant boys, fearing trouble, ordered the mob to halt. This command was unheeded. Shortly after a period of quiet, several shots rang out. Four white men fell dead and seven more were wounded. The younger Bryant boy was shot in the side of the head. His body was later found dangling from a tree. The elder Bryant boy escaped to the woods. Sheriff Edward Black was called to the scene. The Bryant farm consisted of ten cows, five mules, three horses, a large number of pigs, chickens, sheep and other domestic animals.

Who are they that discriminate, segregate and advocate every conceivable law to prevent 100 per cent Americans from partaking of the joys of the true and everlasting democracy of America? "Tis the disloyal American who kindled on the altar of race pride and hatred an unquenchable fire, which the weary struggle of many years has modified into a deep-seated contemptuous resentment and a righteous indignation, but which now has blossomed forth into an insuperable determination to surmount all impediments and climbing rung by rung up the tedious ladder of our aspirations, "over the top" into the full glory of matchless achievements. Achievements which will qualify and give us unlimited admission into the freedom of democracy which is now enjoyed by our more favored brothers. While we are not unaware of the overwhelming odds against us and while we are not ignorant that we may be numerically weaker, yet we are convinced we are not intellectually or morally inferior since the greater of our stunted intellect and bad morals are handed down to us in the guise of the sins of our sires and their defenseless slaves. Who are they that crush and oppress us, laughing to scorn our every effort at the self-assertion of our advanced ideas and principles? Tis they, who are content to grovel in the blood-lost and illicit passion of profligate predecessors, who never achieved or persued but stayed indolently by their demoralized standard. The sons they are of the innovators of a new and illegitimate race in this country, a race whose only heritage from the father is the imputation of a vile and infamous name, whose only legacy is an innate desire to appease their bestial passion. 'Tis they who have forgotten that their grandfathers (and some of ours, too), were the prime factors in the breeding of evil in the Negro race. 'Tis they who laugh at our poverty and want, while they feast off the fat things of the land which the toil worn hands of our progenitors have produced. The idle slackers who flaunt their wealth in our faces; the wealth which our slave ancestors poured into their coffers, 'mid stripes and groans and sweat and tears. Leaden weights they are that drag a helpless race deep into degradation and plunge them into wanton wickedness. Spots they are and blemishes that deface with impunity the noble character of the whole moral law; livid spots of shame, dripping with the innocent blood of the maltreated and wantonly seducted! Blemishes they are on the face of the world's history which forced the virginity of our race into the perpetuation of an unlawful race whose dowry is the utter detestation of the father's race and the unlimited pity and tolerance of the mother's race. But fellow "racers" let not our hearts be troubled, for "what is sown must be reaped," but rather let us see to it that the seeds we are sowing are good and of the proper kind that when harvest comes we may not be disappointed and dishonored. Let us build our houses on the solid rock of truth and justice, that, when the fury of "His" wrath shall sweep over the land adjusting differences and establishing right and equitp, we be not shaken or alarmed but sit steadfastly by and watch the good work go on. Oh! brothers, pray that the holy spirit of truth and justice lead us from one degree of justice up to another, until from the lowest depth of human depravity and ruin we shall have mounted to the highest pinnacle of our ambition, until we can once more stand before the world, our garments all white and shining, a pure race and spotless, whose vesture is cleansed of all the mutilating spots which have been stamped and restamped upon the pure and protesting souls of a defenseless race; an invincible conqueror from whom the shackles of degeneracy and illiteracy have been shaken; a freed man from whom the fetters of hatred and all thoughts of useless retaliation have been removed; a being tried by the triple headed fires of a cruel and unscrupulous race, who though tried came out brighter for the burning, pure gold which knows no alloy, one whose thirst for knowledge and understanding is quenched, whose hunger for the better things of life is appeased. DEEDS OF HEROISM BY 368TH INFANTRY Black Boys Knew No Danger—Stood Up Under Withering Fires and Took Their Share of Glory The 368th Infantry, colored fought gloriously in the Argoone. It became necessary to sent a runner with a message to the left flank of an American firing line. The way was across an open field swept by heavy machine gun fire. Volunteers were called for. Private Edward Saunders of Company I responded. Before he had gone far a shell cut him down. As he fell he cried to his comrades: "Some one come and get this message. I am wounded." Lieutenant Robert L. Campbell of the same company dashed across the shell swert space, picked up the wounded private, and with the Germans fairly hailing bullets around him, carried his man back to the American lines. For the valor shown both were cited for the Distinguished Service Cross, and Lieutenant Campbell, in addition, was recommended for a captaincy. A Black Hero Another single detail, taken from the same company: John Baker, having volunteered, was taking a message through heavy shell fire to another part of his line. A shell struck his hand, tearing away part of it, but the Negro, unfaltering, delivered his message. He was asked why he did not seek aid before competing the journey. "I thought the message might contain information that would save some lives," was the answer. Ruse of Negro Troops Under the same lieutenant, Roberts L. Campbell, a few colored soldiers, armed only with their rifles, trench knives and hand grenades, picked up from shell holes along the way, were moving over a road in the Chateau Thierry sector. Suddenly their course was crossed by the firing of a German machine gun. They tried to locate it by the direction of the bullets, but could not. To their right, a little ahead, lay a space covered with thick underbrush; just back of it was an open field. Lieutenant Campbell, who knew by the direction of the bullets that his party had not been seen by the Germans, ordered one of his men, with a rope which they happened to have, to crawl to the thick underbrush and tie the rope to several stems of the brush; then to withdraw as far as possible and pull the rope, making the bush shake as though men were crawling through it. The purpose was to draw direct fire from the machine gun and by watching to locate its position. The ruse worked. Lieutenant Campbell then ordered three of his men to steal out and flank the machine gun on one side, while and two others moved up and flanked it on the other side. The brush was shaken more violently by the secret rope. The Germans, their eyes focused on the brush, poured a hail of bullets into it. Lieut. tenant Campbel gave the signal. The flanking party dashed up; with their hand grenades they killed four of the Boches and captured the remaining three—also the machine gun. NEGRO TOYMAKER DISCOVERED DES MOINES, Ia., Feb. 18.—America isn't going to miss German made toys at all. Before the war the quaint wooden toys which bore the imposing stamp, 'Made in Germany,' were considered just a little better than any other. In the war America found herself in more ways than one. At Fort Des Moines an Alabama Negro soldier is daily turning out just as attractive wooden toys as Germany ever thought of making. Cunning little animals, birds mounted with the laughing heads of colored Dinahs and Topsys—all these are being evolved under the nimble fingers of men who used to laugh and sing in the cotton fields and didn't even know the meaning of the words "boche" or "kultur" several years ago. A effort is being made to have the toys put on the market. PHOENIX PROTECTIVE LEAGUE BRINGS COLORED PEOPLE INTO ONE BODY A LITTLE EXCITEMENT DOWN IN ALABAMA BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 18.—Perhaps the greatest excitement in the downtown district of Birmingham was on the Owenton-Ensley car Tuesday night between the hours of 7:15 and 7:30. The trouble and excitement arose over a 5-cent fare. The car was overcrowded and perhaps this is one of the reasons that the trouble did not bring about more serious consequences. It occurred between Fifth and Sith avenues. The Owenton-Ensley car operates under one of the special provisions of the Birmingham district where the white and colored passengers are separated by a little board stuck on the back of the seat marked "colored," and this notes the separation point. A few prominent colored men and women were present at this time and some of them state that they heard what they have never listened to before. They have heard stories of such things but had never witnessed one. Eye witnesses make about the same statement. A Mr. J. W. Perkins was acting conductor and collected the fares. Mrs. Louise Harrison, the wife of District Manager J. T. Harrison of the Atlanta Insurance company, stated to the conductor that she had given him ten cents and he failed to give her the change, the fare being five cents to Eighth avenue and Davis street, where she resides. The conductor asked the man just behind Mrs. Harrison, who was seated with another man on the car, "How much did you give me?" The man replied, "I gave you one 10-cent pie and haven't received my change." The conductor stepped back to Mrs. Harrison and said: "You gave me only a nickel; this is all the money I have in my hand, and you didn't give me any dime." "Don't you dispute my word! Didn't you hear me say you didn't give me but a nickel!' I'll slap you out of that seat!" "Don't hit that woman! Don't hit that woman! Don't you put your hands on her!" This voice came from near the door. It was all in a flash said many who were present. The conductor turned immediately and started toward the man with his hand fumbling at his side, and in the position the unknown and unidentified colored man shot, shooting the conductor just above the pit of the stomach, and the ball penetrated his lungs, it is stated. Great excitement and a few screams were head. When the colored man passed out of the car he made one fire on the otuside and those who were pursuing him made a quick-to-the-rear retreat. The conductor was lying on the floor, stating that he was killed, shot to pieces, and calling on God for help. A special representative made immediate investigation of the shooting, and because of some of the staff being present, made immediate report to the authorities as to the incident and how it happened, as near as it could be discerned on such a momentous provocation. No one has yet been able to identify the man who did the shooting. Even his description is not clear. People around the scene, both white and colored, expressed serious regrets and no threats were made. The action on the part of the man who did the shooting, as was the threat made by the conductor, created excitement for the moment. White and colored men were penalized. Women were trying to get through the windows, while others were hiding themselves under the seats. The second shot was made by the fleeing man as he struck the ground, and that again penalized the crowd. All were trying to travel, and yet no one seemed to have an outline or program. After the shooting there was nothing to be done but what was done. It was unexpected. The trouble between Mrs. Harrison and the conductor was 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year Thirty-one representative colored citizens met at Dorris hall on the night of December 16, 1918, and organized what is known as the Phoenix Protective League. Today, a little more than two months since the organization was formed, the membership totals 307 representative citizens with applications still coming. The purpose and object of this league, as stated in these columns some time ago, was to form a more perfect union among the colored citizens of the state of Arizona and to work for their general welfare. That the colored people are willing to work together for the good of a common cause is clearly proven by the manner in which the membership has grown. At the present rate of of increase, the organization will have every one of the 4,000 colored voters in the state as a member of the Phoenix Protective League, before 1920. What a mighty force this will be, all pulling in the same direction. Since its inception, the League has done much towards promoting the welfare of citizens in this community. Several members have been placed in responsible positions and money is now being raised to pay for the special training of one of our prominent high school girls so as to fit her for a high position that has never before been offered our girls, but through the workings of this organization, is now open to any colored girl who can qualify. Progress is the watchword of the League, and that the members are living up to their watchword is being openly demonstrated. Nothing succeeds like success, and the rapid advance made by this young organization makes us believe that it will succeed. The Tribune has advocated a union of forces among the colored citizenry of this commonwealth and it is with pardonable pride that we relate the above instances of the fruits of our advocacy. The strong, influential and representative men and women who were elected officers of the League insure its success. What organization among us can boast a cleaner set of men and women than those who head this League? The president, J. A. Green, is too well known in Arizona for an introduction to be attempted. He has resided here in Phoenix for over twenty years, owns valuable property and bears an excellent reputation for honesty, sobriety and right. Mrs. Jessie James, the vice-president, is an old resident of Phoenix, a large property owner, active in all matters pertaining to the betterment of school conditions in Arizona and an all-around WORKER. The secretary, Mr. R. D. Simpson, is a man of sterling worth and honor, heavy taxpayer, and an upright Christian gentleman. The treasurer, Mrs. I. F. Silvers, is a woman whom we all know and in whom we place implicit confidence. She is an old resident of Phoenix, a property owner and one of the most active members of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. R. S. Stearns, another one of the officers of this organization is a well known and respected citizen of this community. He is a big property owner, a business man, and ranks as one of the leading colored citizens of the community. The executive, advisory and other committees are composed of men and women who stand high in the estimation of all citizens and of whom we are justly proud. The meetings of the League are held at Dorris hall on the first and third Mondays in each month. Attend these meetings and become innocuated with the germ of unionism. In union there is strength, and if we would be a strong race, we MUST unite. not of a boisterous nature and did not attract general attention until a threat was made to slap her out of her seat and in less than a minute the man was shot, the unidentified man off the scene and parties on the car almost to every individual were absolutely startled, amazed, shocked and distressed beyond action or expression.

A half-million workers have either walked out from their dues or have been ordered to do so and have declared their purpose of obey. The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners have joined the strikers' procession and 50,000 building trades workers have been ordered to lay down their tools and take their places in line with gentlemen of elegant and luxurious leisure. According to the president of the organization, the strike is aired in sympathy with carpenters who are demanding a dollarly increase in salary. The demand of the strikers generally is for increased pay or its equivalent, less hours per week for the same weekly wage as now.

They have learned, perhaps too well, the lesson of patience; they know the value of obedience to law and of respect for the rights of the employer to manage and operate his factory, farm or other enterprise and the rights of men who desire to work. There are fully two million workers in the South; let them prepare themselves and keep in readiness to take whatever jobs come their way. Negroes have never been strikers and cannot afford to and will not become strikers now. While others strike let us work, and in peace add luster as workers to the glory which our brave black boys achieved in war. You are all right when you can work. What about it when you can not work because of sickness or accident? You should take no chances by neglecting the interest of yourself and family. The great destroyer of our time is, sickness or accident. Some Serious Facts 1. There are 50 doctors to every undertaker. 2. One person is accidentally killed every five minutes. 3. One hundred thirteen persons are accidentally injured to every fire that occurs. 4. Over 30,000,000 people are disabled by sickness or accident every year in the United States. 5. One out of every ten deaths is due to accident. 6. There is enough sickness each year to average 9 days to each person in the United States. 7. Three million ill people are continuously in the United States. 8. Some person is accidentally killed or injured every 3 seconds. 9. One man in every six is accidentally injured every year. 10. Ninety-nine persons are disabled by accident or illness to every one that dies. 11. In view of these facts, how can you afford to neglect the interest of yourself and family another day? 12. Working man, how can you feel safe without some protection for yourself and family? 13. Accept these statements as true—for they are true; does not common sense suggest the wisdom of insuring your time? 14. Insure your time at once, the very first opportunity you have. 15. Our contracts cover every day lost by sickness or accident. Why You Need Health and Accident Insurance 1. Because the chances are one to six that you will be accidentally injured this year. 2. Because you will need additional money when you are sick or injured. 3. Because of the High Cost of Living, it becomes your duty to insure your wages. I would suggest that you see me at once and have a contract written up that will protect you from the loss of your time when sickness or accidents occur. Now, after you have read this advertisement, and you feel the need of such protection, see R. C. Barnett, the General Agent for the National Casualty Co., Detroit, Mich. Office, Hotel Adams. Insure today. Tomorrow may be too late. STICK TO YOUR JOB Colored men who are making themselves students of present conditions in the ranks of labor are advising members of their race not to be too hasty in renouncing the jobs they now possess. Remember that war conditions follow peace conditions as light follows darkness, or water seeks its level. They are being advised that no sensible man would ever expect the fabulous hours and wages to continue under conditions of peace, at the high-water mark characterizing the period of the war. There certainly must be a readjustment, and when this readjustment leaves to the laborer a scale in excess of what was maintained before the war, leading colored men and thinkers are advising their brethren to look well before they renounce the jobs in which they had gained their advantages and industrial recognition and promotions in the past two or three years. Both men and women are being advised to adjust their economic living and habits in keepinw with the labor readjustments and settle down and refuse to be carried about by the whims of floaters, the discontented and the fault-nders, and thus secure the confidence of employers, make themselves industrial factors and good citizens. Encouragement, progress and good wages will surely follow in the wake of their industry, sobriety, self respect and regularity.—Rev. J. M. Palmer in Philadelphia Record. A man aroused his wife from a sound sleep the other night, saying that he had seen a ghost in the shape of a donkey. "Oh, let me sleep," the irate dame replied, "and don't be frightened at your own shadow." "Gee whiz!" said the boy who had to take castor oil, "I do wish mama was a Christian Scientist!"

JUDGE TAYLOR We take this means of expressing our heartfelt thanks to the many friends who were so kind to us and to all who sympathized with us in our sad hour of bereavement. We desire all readers of this paper to know how very kind and solicitious the members of our church were and how well they looked after our every need. The sud- den death of our daughter shocked and weakened me for several days. ‘The sisters and brethren of our church came to comfort me. First, one and then the other, until practically all the colored women in the town had come to visit me, One white lady, a Mrs. Pomery, also came to console mé. When I saw these tokens of love’ and sympathy, come from my many friends, I'd say away deep down in my soul: “May God bless them, may Ggd bless them and help me to ae live the life that will make my neigh. bors love me.” T would be remiss in my duty, were I to close this article without special mention of the kindness and sympathy shown us by the good white citizens of Mesa. Of the six white gentlemen who helped to hold an inquest over the body of our little daughter, nearty every one offered his services in any way they might be needed. Mr. O. S. Stapley carried our family to the cemetery in his own family car, fur- nished another car for our friends and did not charge one cent for his ser- vices. We want the Caucasians of this city to know that we do not loox slightly upon these courtesies, but highly appreciate all they did for us us.) Tihave always been blessed with a host of friends in my home in Okla- home where I was born and reared, and it affords me no small degree of pleasure when I look back over my past life and am able to feel and know that I love everybody back there ai home and have reasons to believe they all love me; because they treated me that way. I can but say: “God bless them. Glory be the name of the Lord.” By placing my hand in God's hand and by following where He leadeth, I have always been led aright. I know that without His guidance and help can do nothing, so I ask Him daily to teach me what He will have me do and help me to see the good in my fellowmen. I find myself getting clos- er, yes, closer, to him and as I learn of Him and His way, the stronger I grow and the brighter my light shines, Let us hold our lights high, 0.K.

Yours for Christ and the uplift of fallen humanity, MRS. SARAH M. TAYLOR. ‘The entertainment given by the la- dies of Mt. Cavalry Baptist church on last Friday evening was a big success. The delightful refreshments were en- joyed by all present. In the absence of the pastor, Dr. C, A. Gilmore, the pulpit at Mt. Cavalry was occupied by the Rev. L. B. Bent- ley on last Sunday. He preached an able sermon that completely electrified the audience and we trust his words sank deep into the hearts of those present and that they will bring forth good fruit. The colored citizens of Mesa were highly honored and greatly helped by an official visit of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Smith and” their little daughter, Miss Dora Smith, 21 East Madison street, Phoenix. Mrs. Smith, who is Deputy Grand Preceptress of the Daughters of Tabernacle and International Order of Twelve, was introduced to the con- gregation at Mt. Cavalry by Sif S. L. Daniels, and in a few well chosen words told of the good that Tabor would do in this community, Her re- marks were well received and a zeal- ous effort is now being made to es- tablish a Tabernacle in Mesa. Sir Al- len Smith was later introduced by Sir S. L. Daniels, and delivered a short address on Taborian Knighthood. Messrs. James O. Green and Em- mett Lewis of Phoenix were Sunday visitors in Mesa, They motored over in Mr. Green's reliable: Dodge. M, J: J. Harington of Mesa spent Sunday evening in Phoenix visiting his wife and family at 709 South Mon- tezuma avenue, 8. L. Daniels, the Tribune represcn- tative for Mesa, spent Tuesday in the capital city on business. WINSLOW Mrs. Lucas has returned from East ‘Texas, where she has been visiting relatives and friends. After suffering with a broken fin- ger for a few days, Mr. C. E. Bloicc is again able to resume his work. Mrs, Hartmai? is all smiles these ays because she has been permitted to enjoy the sunshine of the past few days. Mrs. R. W. Strode will open her hairdressing parlors at 218 Fast Four: teenth street. She will handle Madam Walker's hair preparations and many others. Let's patronize her and help make the business a success. On last Tuesday evening the Social cub met with Mr. T. D. McCool and all present spent a very pleasant ‘evening. Mr, Carl Williams entertained with a delightful luncheon on last Wednes day evening. His guests were Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Young and family. Mrs. C. E, Bloice has been on the sick list, but is now convalescent. Marguerite Maynard, who is con: fined to her home with a slight ill ness, is reported on the road to re- covery. Miss Cleo Wilson was hostess at a brilliant social function given last Sat. urday evening. The guest list in. eluded Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Strode, Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Young and family, ‘Messrs. Boatwright and Clark. ‘The evening was spent with muste and song. All present spent an enjoyable ‘evening. __ Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Young will leave Sunday evening for their new home ‘in Oak City. Mrs. C. EB. Bloice will hereafter report the Winslow news fer the Phoenix Tribune. Stand loyally by her and turn in your news items on time. (By Reginald Jackson) Mr. and Mrs. Judge Miller are new- comers in this community. They have opened the Merchants’ Cafe and we hope for them a brilliant success. Mrs. Barnett, who was confined with an attack of flu, is reported convales- cent. Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Young and fam- ily have decided to locate in Oak City for a short period. Rev. R. E. Lewis, pastor of the First Baptist church, preached to a large audience Sunday night.- His text was taken from the first chapter of Luke, tenth verse. Subject, “Prayer.” Excellent music was fur- nished by the choir and altogether a very interesting meeting was held. Modesta Young was a, yisitor in Flagstaff Sunday and attended our Sunday schol class at the Baptist church's saga ee 4 ‘Mrs, Mary! EB: Davis’ is. recovering from a recent iliness. ss isiw THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING AJO | ‘The Phoenix Tribune is surely mak- ing its way into every colgred home in this district. We are indeed glad to see so many of our people reading their own literature. What a blessing it will be when our people learn to combine their forces and patronize an enterprise like the Phoenir Tribune. There is no other race on earth that ‘would not support an enterprise of their own. Every maf’ and woman ‘in Arizona who are of African descent should subscribe for the Phoenix Tribune and help make it a bigger and better paper. I do not say that colored people should not read other papers, but I do say that here in Arizona we should give the Tribune our first considera- ton: because it is our OWN. In the past we have pushed to the front, but we were pushing for some one else. ‘The time has come that we must push for ourselves and help each other to etand on his feet. We must get be- hind every cause that tends to uplift the race, and PUSH it to the front. Some will say: “I can’t do anything, because I am not in a position to give any support.” To them I will say: ‘There is not one colored person in a thousand who cannot afford five cents a week for a piece of wholesome liter- ature, Better still, pay $2 for a year's subscription and thus reduce the cost to less than four cents per copy. In conclusion, I will say that the vase of Justice will TURN, but we must first PUSH it to the front, then we shall be privileged to TURN it. RAY Word comes to Ray of the death, on February 13, of Mr. Jerry Hinton of Los Angeles, Cal, He was an old resident of Los Angeles, having lived in that clty some thirty-odd year. He leaves a wife, who was formerly Mrs. Ada Lewis of Phoenix, Ariz. and an adopted daughter to mourn his pass- ing. Little Arnold Smith, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, celebrated his second anniversary on the 15th Inst, He was given a very delightful Uttle party, to which all his friends were invited. Ice cream and cake were served in abundance and all the little fellows had a jolly good time, Mrs. Janie Ross was hostess at an entertainment given ‘Thursday even- ing, February 13, at her beautiful home in Sunny Side. Ham, cheese and pimiento sandwiches, hot coffee, fce cream and cake were served tho guests. Thef evening was spent at whist and all present had the jolliest time of their lives. Although 75 cents a day reduction has been made in wages, no strike i anticipated in this region. Ray is quiet and everything is moving along smoothly. TUCSON To the Colored Citizens of Tucson, Greetings: Our representative there informed us that the colored citizens of the city are interested mostly in the Tue- son news which appears in thé Tri- bune and want a nice big write-up ev- ery week about Tueson and her peo- ple. Now, we are not surprised at the interest you manifest in your home town and shall be glad to give space for the NEWS from that section, pro- vided, you meet the requirements. ! ‘The weekly sale of a hundred copies of the Tribune in a city does not war- rant the donation of a colmn and a half of space for the social happenings of that community. Yearly subscrip. tions from one-half that number will entitle them to a full column every week. ‘The government requires all weekly newspapers to collect in ad- vance for papers sent agents or rep- resentatives and to accept no returns. This works a hardship on the agent If he fails to sell all copies he receives, but we have no alternative. Subscribe for the Tribune by the year if you want your town repre- sented. (Signed) A. R. SMITH, Owner and Bditor. (By G. R. Kirby) ‘Mrs. L. B. Hamilton, who has been on the sick list the past three weeks, is improving. Rey. Jones is busy as a carpenter these days. He may be seen building a six-room house in Pirtleville. We need more men in Douglas like Rev, Jones. , Eastern Star Chapter No. 1 gave a valentine social Friday night and it was a great success. Mrs, A. J. Marchuian, Miss Ellen McHenry and Mrs. Laura A. White of Bisbee are visitors in Douglas. Prince U. Kaba Rega is here con- ducting meetings’ for Rev. Cook of the C. M. E. church.

S. Government at an estimated cost of $64,000 each. These planes are being put into commercial use for passenger-carrying service. The air routes between London and Paris, established by the HANDLEY PAGE, have been operating suc- cessfully and on, schedule time—passengers leave Londen in the morning, fly to Faris in three hours, attend to their business, and are back in London ia time for dinner: Five companies to our knowledge in this coun- try are being organized to transport passengers. One company proposes to establish a line between New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City.

Within the next few weeks regular AERIAL SERVICE will be established by the APACHE AERIAL TRANSPORTATION COMPANY between LOS ANGELES and EL PASO.
