NO. 49 REPUBLICAN ADMIN JIM-CROW SYSTE Following is an excerpt from an article which appeared recently in the Arizona Gazette. It concerns the changes which have been made at the Arizona State Prison since the republicans have been in power. We refuse to comment on the matter and publish this sketch, merely, for the delectation of our democratic clientele. The Tribune is now and always has been, a non-partisan newspaper. The report follows: "There are 158 prisoners in the prison proper and 83 in the road camp at Clifton doing state highway work. Since Jan. 6 there has been no man lost, through escape or otherwise. "Every prisoner is now required to wear the regulation prison uniform with his number displayed. "The prisoners are now all being fed in the mess room at a cost of three cents less a meal than during the former administration. The dinner last Sunday, as an example, consisted of soup, roast, beef, brown gravy, mashed potatoes, pickles, raw onions, sliced peaches and cream, and tea. "The kitchen utensils are now of aluminum and everything in both the kitchen and the mess room is immaculate. The prisoners, as to race, are all separated at the tables. The Mexicans have their tables, the white men their tables and the negroes their table. They were not separated before. "Also, before the new administration any prisoner was permitted to carry his meal to any part of the grounds and eat it. Before, there were innumerable small booths scattered over the grounds and against walls, where knuck-knacks, such as horse hair chains, were made by the prisoners. These booths offered logical places for the concealment of weapons. Now all these booths have been removed and a long, narrow bench has been erected at small cost. It is covered by a roof so that the prisoner may work on the bench in the shade, or out of the rain. Also each prisoner has under this bench an individual locker with his own key. Here he may keep all his materials with which he works. With this system in effect a systematic search of the yard can be made in a short time, in case of suspicious occurrences. "When he a prisoner addresses an officer he is required to remove his hat. This was not done before the change. In the mess hall the prisoners are required to use knife and fork to eat with, whereas, before, they were sup plied only with spoons. WOULD HAVE CASES OF SOL DIERS, COURT-MARTIALED ON FLIMSY EXCUSES, REVIEWED Washington, Feb. 24.—Trials of soldiers by court-martial on filmsy evidence and instances of the trial of half a dozen or more men on the same charge by the same court were cited by Gen. Ansell, acting judge advocate, today before the senate military committee in support of the pending bill revising court-martial procedure. Referring to bringing several accused men before the same court Senator Knox (Pennsylvania) remarked: "That would be like trying several men on the same charge before the same jury." "Exactly," said Gen. Ansell, "and it would be impossible for the court to have an open mind." At the time of the execution of negro soldiers at Houston, Tex., Gen. Ansell said he again called the attention of the department to the necessity for some tribunal review of court-martial findings, pointing out that the soldiers had been denied the privilege of asking clemency. Black Catholic Priest Dies at New Orleans New Orleans, La., Feb. 22.—Reverend Father Peter Cuddy, pastor of St. Catherine of Sienna's church for Negroes, 1509 Tulane avenue, died Friday at Hotel Dieu and will be buried Sunday after ceremonies at St. Catherine church at 10 a. m. Archbishop Shaw will officiate. Father Cuddy was in his seventieth year. For the past sixteen years he worked among the Colored Catholics of Pawtucket, R. I., and was made priest thirty-three years ago. For thirteen years he was treasurer of the Cape Girardeau, Mo., College, and latter served mission churches in Kansas. Afterwards he was transferred to New Orleans. For three years he was chaplain at Charity hospital. When pioneer work by the Catholic church began among the Colored people of New Orleans, Father Cuddy became the pastor of St. Catherine's church, the mother church of Negro Catholicism in New Orleans. NEGRO SOLDIERS REFUSING TO RETURN SOUTH Washington, Feb. 24.—The south will face a serious shortage in agricultural labor during the coming season according to present indications, officials of the federal employment service stated today. The reason for this shortage while other sections of the country are overflowing with labor is that a majority of the negroes who shouldered a gun are refusing to go back to cotton fields. The lure of higher wages in the northern industrial centers is attracting them, although there is already an over supply of labor in these places. Many others came north because of the high wages paid for war work. "Late reports indicate that the shortage will be one of the most acute in the history of the cotton belt," one official stated. "The negro laborers have seen a little of the world through army life and it is surprising how many of them are refusing to go back to the cotton fields from the camps." Already the employment service reports show need for agricultural help and the spring farm work has not yet started. These are practically the only localities reporting shortages. The largest amount of labor needed to raise cotton makes it imperative that more attractive working conditions be offered the negroes, the employment service believes. To relieve the threatened shortage the service has instructed all its agents near camps where southern negroes are demobilized to urge them to stay in the south because of the increasing unemployment in northern industries. WILLARD SAYS HE WILL LICK DEMPSEY ANY TIME Chicago, Feb. 24.—Jess Willard, personification of confidence, was here yesterday, to meet Tex Rickard, promoter, for a conference. Willard, whose statement is that he will whip Jack Dempsey any where and at any time Rickard decides upon, declined to give an inking as to what the talk will be about. “There is a certain element inimical to my interests which is trying to belittle me in various ways. All I ask is that they wait until the battle day to see who really is heavyweight champion,” Willard said. It is definitely known that the Ceylon pearl fisheries have been in existence since 306 B. C., and tradition says they yielded gems before that time. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1919 PROMINENT ORATOR URGES COLORED MEN TO ENTER POLITICS Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 15.—Before an audience estimated to be 5,000 colored and many hundred whites in the Academy of Music on Thursday night Dr. Carl E. Grammar urged the Negroes of Philadelphia to get into politics on the side of good government at a meeting in honor of Abraham Lincoln. The meeting was under the auspices of the Armstrong Association of which Dr. Grammar is president. Resolutions were adopted on the part of the Negro played in all the struggles of the country, and special emphasis placed upon the appeal to white people to allow the Negro a fair chance in the industrial field. THE BLACK MAN IS A PLAYTHING IN POLITICS We are a toy in the white man's hand. Fifteen million Negroes without a single U. S. Senator; without a single cabinet member; without a single representative in the House; without a single governor; without a single general. This is a disgraceful record to say the least. The Republican party gave our aspirations a set back when they sold us out in the South and permitted jim Crowism, lynching, grandfather clauses, and poor school appropriations. That party reaped what they sowed by two political defeats. At the present time the democratic party is totering. The presidency will be regained. Unless the republican party comes to its senses and removes the disfranchisement of colored men down South the race will be forced to turn its back on republicanism. We pride ourselves on being grateful for favors of a half-century ago. We are living in a new age, however, new forces drag us down, new problems arise. You must stand by the Negro if you expect him to stand by you. Half-Century Magazine. Religous Body Differ On Dancing Question Detroit, Mich., Feb. 24.—At a recent session of the New Era District Conference of the Presbyterian church, about five hundred men and women of that body met. Among the important issues discussed was the question, "Shall the Presbyterian church take dancing under its wing, or shall the church brand dancing as an evil?" About half of the men present voted "Yes." About half voted "No." After all had a chance to voice opinion, one of the prominent members of the convention said from the platform, "Whatever may be said in its justification, the modern dance is fraught with intolerable evil. In these days every minister's heart is heavy with the question: "What are we to do when we cannot make the people see the dangers in amusements." "ON TO JERUSALEM" SLOGAN OF JEWS New York, Feb. 24.—"This year in Jerusalem," was the slogan of 400 delegates to the twenty-second annual convention of the Federated Zionist societies in session here yesterday. At three mass meetings last night where speeches were made by Dr. Benzion Morrinson of Joppa, Palestine, the same spirit prevailed. Establishment of a Hebrew university of Jerusalem as center of Jewish culture was the chief subject of discussion. Norman Hapgood will be the principal speaker at the closing banquet tonight. CONGRESSMAN SAYS BLACK SOLDIERS ARE "DYING LIKE PIGS" Washington, D.C., Feb. 22.—United States government officials are much interested in the health conditions at Brest, port of embarkation for returning soldiers. Colonel William Hayward, commanding the 369th, New York Colored Regiment, in speaking of the French port, said "We had been free from sickness until we reached Brest, where, in three weeks we lost more men than during all the months in the field." Soldiers "Dying Like Pigs" Says Congressman Dyer During debate on the army appropriation bill today in the House, Representative Dyer of Missouri, Republican, urged speed in returning soldiers from France, asserting that "they were dying like pigs at Brest through the criminal carelessness of the War Department." NIBBLING AT AFRICA (Half Century Magazine) The way things point poor Africa will be badly tattered when the wolves at the Peace Conference get through with her. True it is not ready for selfgovernment, but she will never be ready if the heel of oppression rests on her head forever. That clever language of making "the world safe for Democracy" inspired men who already possessed it. Those who had been kicked and rebuffed for untold generations forced the spirit on themselves and made the supreme sacrifice. Should not these men be rewarded? If the natives of Africa could learn military tactics they could learn the ways of government. You will do well, delegates to the Peace Conference, if you will turn a deaf ear on the wolves of the Conference and give Africa a chance. She has been bled too long. Enduring peace, cannot reign in this world until all men are up and none down. NAVAL OFFICERS ARRESTED FOR BRIBERY New York, Feb. 24.—Two naval officers are under arrest and a number of other naval men are under surveillance today in the investigation into alleged irregularities at headquarters of the third naval district here. It is charged that civilians who wanted to avoid being drifted, bribed certain officials to let them enlist as seamen with the understanding that they could wear the uniform but remain at work at their own offices only reporting occasionally at headquarters of the third naval district. Lieutenant Benjamin Davis, a medical examiner is known to be serving three years imprisonment, having been convicted of accepting from Joseph Whitehead of the naval intelligence department a bribe of $500 in marked money. Another navy lieutenant is understood to be confined aboard the training ship Granite awaiting trial. Special investigators have been sent here from Washington and Admiral Usher, commandant of the district, is doing everything possible to aid in the inquiry. Once upon a time a school teacher had considerable trouble with a boy who insisted on saying "have went" for "have gone." So one day this teacher ordered the boy to remain after the others had been dismissed and write the words, "have gone" on the black board one hundred times. When the boy had finished his task, he noticed that the teacher had gone into an adjoining room, so he wrote the following sentence on the blackboard: "I have finished my work and have 'went' home. That boy is now a famous lawyer, but the teacher is still plodding along in the same old way. TRIBUNE TEXAS LAW MAKERS WOULD BAR GERMANS FOR NEXT 50 YEARS Austin, Tex., Feb. 21—Exclusion of German immigrants from the United States for 50 years is urged in a resolution introduced in the lower house of the legislature. The resolution requests the Texas delegation in Congress to urge the laws which will prohibit any German from entering this country. FAULTLESS CASHIER WRECKS GEORGIA BANK Bainbridge, Ga., Feb. 14.—The Iron City Bank, better known as the Citizens' Bank is no more. Cashier R. R. Davis, white, did the job. He was faultless, no bad habits, even his friends never dreamed he knew anything about "high finance". They trusted him. The capital stock of the bank was only $30,000, yet Davis is short at least $24,000. No suspicion of any wrong-doing was apparent until a few days ago the directors took charge of the bank. They found that Davis was a regular "Get Rich Quick Wallingford", for he had financed a number of business enterprises. He would issue checks to pay bills of the numerous business enterprises and then pigeon-hole them. The directors made another startling discovery. They could hardly believe their eyes. Coot Reams, a Negro, had signed checks amounting to $19,000. "Horrors! Impossible!! Great Guns!!!" said the directors, "It can't be true." Reams was arrested and lodged in jail awaiting the result of the investigation of the Board of Directors. At last accounts Davis was among the missing, although a warrant was issued for his arrest. It has not yet developed how much of the $19,000 Reams actually received. Soldiers May Wear Uniform Only While Homeward Bound Soldiers May Wear Uniform Only While Homeward Bound New Order Says on Their Arrival Home They Must Don Clothing of a Civilian Washington, D. C., Feb. 24—In a revised order of the Secretary of War, issued by Pertoy C. March, General Chief of Staff, returned soldiers are permitted to wear their uniform while their trip home is being made. On their arrival home they must doff the uniform and put on a suit of civilian clothing, although they are permitted to keep the uniforms for three months. Officers are to be permitted to wear the uniforms on occasions of ceremony after receiving their discharge. An act now before Congress, if passed, will permit the enlisted men to keep the outfit in which they were discharged from the service. Men discharged from the navy, or placed on inactive duty, are forbidden to wear uniform in civilian occupation or after their release from active duty, but they may wear the uniform to their home.

BACK TO FARM MOVEMENT DOES NOT APPEAL ALIKE TO ALL COLORED PEOPLE Missouri Law Maker Would Stop Lynchings Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 22—Senator Kinney of St. Louis introduced a bill today defining unlawful assemblages for the purpose of injuring persons or property and providing severe penalties. Five or more persons who assemble with the intent of injuring any person or property are constituted a mob within the meaning of the bill. The assembling of such persons together for an unlawful purpose is punishable by a fine of from $100 to $1,000 and possible imprisonment in jail from 30 days to one year. 'Another section deals with mobs when persons or property are injured as the intent of such unlawful assemblage. These acts constitute a felony punishable by not exceeding five years in the penitentiary and the collection of such damages as may be adjudged. In the case of lynching parties, the relatives of a victim may sue in the sum of $5,000 for death and recover from those who constituted the mob. Another section undertakes to fix the liability of sheriffs and other law officers who have men under arrest and surrender them to mobs. Such surrender is held to be prima facie evidence of neglect of public duty and may result in the office being declared vacant. The officer or officers, however, who have been ousted may file proceedings to be reinstated within 90 days. The act would reach all such of fences as whipping people to drive them out of some locality and similar actions frequently reported from isolated districts. WORLD WAR COST U. S. EIGHTEEN AND HALF BILLIONS WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25.—One hundred seventy-nine billion dollars represent the total cost of the war to both sides up to January 31, according to official figures. Of this vast amount, the entente and the United States spent $119,581,000,000, while the Germanic allies spent $59,500,000,000. That the United States did its bit is shown from the fact that its total expenditures—third in the list of the associates—were $18,481,000,000, besides this government loaned $18,375,000,000. This total represents more than 10 per cent of the total associated war expenditures. At the same time America put overseas more than 2,000 men and at the close stood next to France in the number of men in France. Great Britain's financial outlay was the largest, standing at $37,100,000,000, with France second with $27,000,000,000 and Japan last with $1,000,000,000. How staggering the totals are may be gleaned from a comparison with the costs of other wars as follows: War of 1812, army, $66,613,000; navy, $26,375,000. Mexican war, army, $88,499,000; navy, $33,549,000. Civil war, army, $2,753,041,000; navy, $338,124,000. Spanish-American war, army $505, 557,900; navy, $213,279,000.

Hall I saw a suggestion that the Negro's opportunities are in the southland and also that some opportunities are to be found in the agricultural industry. But what of those who have no such inclinations? One great mistake is that the average white man thinks what is good for one black man is equally good enough for all. We have as many classifications as any other nationality—orators, educators, professional men. Why, therefore, should they seek agriculture as an occupation? Regardless of what their proclivities may be, must we train our children to be agriculturists? No one will dispute that all are not adapted for the same purpose. While there are many especially fitted for such work among all races and creeds, there are also many having other vocational aspirations. The world is a great loser that these latent powers are not allowed freedom of development. Were the Negro's chance good in the South there would not be so many hundreds of them here in our city living in such deplorable conditions. If I thought my children would be compelled to face the same obstacles I have encountered, my prayers would be for God to take them in their youth. Of course, there are many narrow-hearted views expressed among Negroes as to the part they played in the great world war, but a race that has been suppressed in this country as they have, dating from their advent here in 1619, cannot but be oversensitive. The destinies of these people have been misguided in most every instance by unscrupulous individuals, and one prominent man named in this article, who advocated agriculture in the South for the Negro, was himself a resident of the South, but sent his children to a Northern institution to be educated. This one-man-affair leadership is a great drawback and is, I am happy to say, fast drawing to a close. The world respects far more the man who is loyal to his own than the one who will throw down his race for selfish motives. Those persons are sought when they can be used and are paid for their services, but are discarded and frowned upon after the end in view has been attained until the next time they can be used. SOUTH CAROLINA DAILY LAUDS BLACK SOLDIERS SUMPTER, S. C., Feb. 24.—Sumpter is proud of the record of her Negro soldiers in the world war. There have been three cited for extraordinary bravery. The first of these was Ballard, who was mentioned with his whole patrol for deeds of gallantry under fire. The last two to receive distinguished service crosses have been Corp. Sandey E. Jones, belonging to Co. C, 371st infantry, and Private Ellison Moses of the same company and regiment. The scene of Jones' act was near Champagne in France, September 28-29. He was engaged as company clerk and was left behind to take care of the company records. When he learned that all the company officers had become casualties, he immediately went forward, and collecting the scattered elements of the company, reorganized them under most trying and difficult conditions. Moses, who belonged to the same command, displayed his heroism a few days later at Ardeull in France. After his company had been forced to withdraw from an advanced position under severe machine gun fire this soldier went forward and rescued wounded soldiers, working persistently until all of them had been carried to shelter.

Make that the colored trade, he would advertise That Tribune advertising brings quick and substantial results and yields a big income on the amount invested, cannot be gainsaid. Last week we had the "acid" test applied to the pulling power of Tribune ads, and to say that we won, is to express it mildly. We "won in a walk" and "with hands down." The paper was mailed to out-of-town subscribers on Friday morning and delivered to city customers that afternoon. Saturday morning, the Tribune ads began their work and at 12 o'clock, noon, a phone call from the small investor told of the marvelous work his ad had done. We sent a representative to see the other "test" advertiser and to our delight, he had been so busy taking care of the business his ad had brought till he forgot to telephone us. While waiting for an interview with the manager of the latter concern, our representative was approached by an employee who told of a marvelous record that had been made from an ad in a paper called the "Tribune." He had thus, unwittingly, "let the cat out of the bag," and when the manager came there was nothing for him to do but "fess up." This he did in grand style, not only to the representative, but to his many friends who are now clamoring for space in this wonderful advertising medium. Colored people are liberal spenders. This is a weakness, characteristic of the race, and inasmuch as it can't be overcome, it is up to the colored editor to direct these funds through the proper channels. He can do this, only, by calling upon them to lend support to the merchant or business man, who advertises in a race paper. We have been preaching this doctrine, ever since the Tribune was established, and are gratified with the results. If our readers continue to give such liberal patronage to Tribune advertisers, we shall reward them by publishing a bigger and better paper. This is Tuesday, February 25, and indications point strongly towards a six page paper for this issue. We must make room for the advertisers who want to appeal to the colored people and when we do that, a bigger paper is the result. Keep up the good work. Go where you KNOW your patronage is desired and gradually "wean" away from the merchant who stubbornly refuses to place an ad in YOUR paper. Make this your slogan: "If he wanted the colored trade, he would advertise in OUR newspaper." being editorial from the Columbia (S. C.

The following editorial from the Columbia (S. C.)

This was a sizeable army itself, especially when we consider that the total military strength of the confederacy was about 600,000 men. "The negro troops acted well their part in battle, we are told. Many of them received medals of honor. Others made good soldiers behind the firing lines. "The south gave her white men and her black men.

"The first thing is to give the negro justice in our courts of justice. Let his punishment be meted on the same measure as that given to the white man. As we have remarked in the past, the white man, with his opportunities really deserves the greater degree of punishment. Yet he often escapes on account of nothing but the color of his skin.

PAGE TWO Arizona's Greatest Weekly 6 TRIBUN ADVERTISING PAYS JUSTICE TO COLORED PEOPLE CONDUCTING A NEWSPAPER WE PAY 4% ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS YOUR ACCOUNT SOLICITED THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING A SOLDIER IN ODES SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE AS WE advanced I congured up a vision, conceived a review of the victorious allies, an endless train of laurel crowned men treading rose-strewn avenues and acclaimed by frenzied exultant crowds as they passed on their triumphant way. But the scene remains unfixed, as I strove to limn them, the figures grew dim, until they faded into nothingness, and in their stead there appeared a wilderness, an expanse of plain and wood bearing land. Nothing but graves, and I understood. France has become the mother earth of the human race she holds in her bosom forever a host of strange soldiers who came to her from every clime. Even now her soil is hallowed by the blood of these men equally with that of her own, but to perfect the consecration they need the tears of the women who bore them. Therefore these graves must stand. Each warrior has paid with his life for the ground on which he fell, and to tumble his bones into the common charnal pit would be a sacrilege of hell. Henceforward there must be constant communion between the quick and the dead, else the sacrifice shall have been in vain. If the sword be sheathed in a flourish of trumpets as a token that the work is done and men depart, each to his calling, they will forget for the human mind is brief and human will is frail, and they will not perforce be better who escape from the dread contest. But they will be prepared for bettering. And to strengthen hearts purified by torment, what fitter memorial than that monstrous graveyard stretcheing from Alp to Sea? When peace returns to this sorely tried world, let mothers be led tenderly to the tombs of their sons—young mothers, who had but their first-born to give, mothers from vast cities, mothers from savage lands, mothers of every race, mothers of every creed, let there come also the widowed daughters, with orphaned babes clinging to them. Let all these grieving women mingle their tears over the poor graves. Let them kneel and pray that they be comforted and their lament shall cease, for they shall have seen the glory of their dead and the surpassing majesty of the offering and they will depart in peace, with a new light in their hearts. Those who await their coming will marvel at bowed heads now erect; at weeping eyes now bright; but they will understand the proud ring of the voice that proclaims: "Sons, husbands, fathers—they all died to make men free! May that journeying be without end, daughter ever committing to daughter, the proud duty to the dead! As of yore the knees of countles worshippers hallowed the marble stairs of famous shrines, so may the patient feet of womankind trace through France a blessing pilgrims way. Men, the while, will return to labor of raising a new world on the sound foundation of peril faced in common and suffering conjoined, they will have learned their craft in the stern school of war, and if as must be in heedless moments they stray, the gentle entreaty of the pilgrims will serve to point the way.

Williams and Mrs. Porter say their pastor is the best in the city. They are anxious for him to stir the eagle's nest. Mrs. Olive Hall and Mr. L. H. Boyd are on the sick list. The ladies of the Missionary society under the able leadership of Mrs. F. Ellison go "over the top" at their meetings every Monday. The Sunday collection at Mt. Zion was $27. This little church is alive and progressive. We have purchased two lots on Grammar and River streets. (L. J. Harris writes entertainingly on the race problem.) I always get an inspiration from reading the Tribune, but the last issue was the best ever. To think that the colored people of Phoenix have actually come together and are fixing their place in this great state, brings joy to my soul and causes me to pay the above compliment to the last issue of the Tribune, which contained this information. Coming together is the first essential towards acquiring the future statutes we so earnestly long and hope for. Talk will not solve the issue. It is necessary for us to consolidate—bring our forces together, as it were, into one great body and work together for the common welfare of all. To accomplish the desired end we must have real leaders and true followers; men who are too big to GLOBE Rev. Wm. Young preached two powerful sermons last Sunday. We are in the midst of real winter. It is snowing and hailing, and real winter weather is upon us. Mr. J. C. Johnson has resigned his position with the Arizona Eastern. Mrs. Wm. Young entertained Sunday with a delightful turkey dinner. Her guests were Mr. and Mrs. B. Taylor, Mrs. Cora Fry, Miss Price, Miss Louis Teasdale, Mrs. Susie Durr, Mr. Jesse Sweat. Mrs. O. King is reported on the sick list this week. Sunday services at the Baptist church were well attended. Mrs. Chas. Watkins presided at the organ during the evening services. EL PASO (By Wm. Green) Sunday services at Mt. Zion Baptist church were well attended. The Sunday school superintendent, Mr. John J. Stevens, and his assistant, Miss Estella Bennet, were at their posts. They instructed the little ones in a manner designed to impress upon them the true meaning of the scripture. Miss Pearl Shannon, teacher of the senior class, made her lesson very interesting. Messrs. H. Jackson and John H. Stevens are the oldest deacons in the church, and are interested in the Sunday school. Miss Eleanor Mathis, another teacher in the Sunday school, handles her class with perfect ease. Miss Hazel Vinson, librarian of the B. Y. P. U., is always on duty. Miss Thelma Mathis, Sunday school missionary, is a bright young lady and always at her post. Mr. L. A. Turner is bringing the B. Y. P. U. to the front. Miss M Simmons is the busiest bee in Mt. Zion's hive and never misses a single meeting. The social committee is always present PRESGOTT sell or barter the interests of the race; men who will work for the good of all the race and not for self-aggrandizement or the benefit of a certain class or clique. The followers, too, must be loyal; too loyal to desert their leader. We must stand up for ourselves and speak out openly in defense of our brother. We want justice for ourselves and our families, not only in the North, but in the South as well. We must put our earnings together and launch out in the commercial world, if we would receive our proper rating. If we, as a race, are to strike forcibly upon the heart and conscience of the world at large, it is high time that we cast our nets for something more than the mere sympathies of the world. A lesson we need to learn is: "Heaven helps those who help themselves." I submit herewith my application for membership in the Phoenix Protective League, and extend my hearty congratulations to the worthy organizers and their constituents. Yours for Race Development; LEONARD J. HARRIS, Prescott, Ariz. Mrs. Dora Youngblood of Sedan, Kans., and a sister-in-law of Mrs. W. E.

WINSLOW (By Mrs. C. E. Bloice) Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Young and family have moved to Flagstaff, where Mr. Young will engage in business. We regret to see these good people leave our city, still we wish them success in their new home. Mr. Morris Sims passed through Winslow last Sunday en route to California, where he will receive his discharge from the army.

Rev. J. B. Bell of Phoenix was in the city a few days this week. While here he was a guest at several dinner parties given in his honor. He delivered an address Sunday and also on Tuesday evening. His talks were enjoyed by all and we trust he will return soon. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Strode of 218 East Fourth street entertained with a delightful dinner Sunday in honor of their guest, Mrs. A. Hill, of Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Simpson will leave soon for points in California. Mrs. C. E. Bloice is in Phoenix this week, attending to business matters. He is expected home the last of the week. RAY (By Archie Lewis) We received a letter from James Mims, a former resident of Phoenix, who is now in Las Cruces, N M., stating that he receives a copy of the Tribune every week and enjoys reading the splendid news contained therein. On a recent hunting trip, Lonnie Harris captured one of the most vicious badgers ever seen in these parts. It is rumored that a big badger and bulldog fight will be staked in the near future. Watch these columns for further announcements. Mrs. Zimmerman, a government worker, is in camp and will give instructions in cooking, dressmaking and millinery. She will be in the city for a period of six weeks and many colored ladies have joined her classes. Mr. B. B. Moore has accepted a position as head janitor at the Ray Con office buildings. The beautiful new residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Barnell is nearing completion and soon will be occupied by them. BISBEE (By Myrtle Threat) Sgt. John Watson, Privates Edward Greer, Pete Brown, Robert Lowett and George Brown were visitors in our city last week. They came over from Ft. Huachuca. Mr. J. H. Bryant suffered another relapse and has now left for El Paso to be examined by a physician of that city. Sgt. Major G. Smith, Mrs. Polk and several others motored to Bisbee last week from Ft. Huachuca. Mr. Kellogg is a recent arrival in Bisbee. He expects to remain only a few days. Three carloads of people motored to Naco last week to attend a dance. They report an enjoyable trip. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 24.—The St. Louis Flag society. an organization whose aims are to see that all American flags are properly hung and respected. reports the following incident: A flag in the window of a local private residence was hanging with its field down A member of the society knocked at the door. A colored woman opened it. "I am a member of the Flag Society," he told her. "Your flag is hung improperly. That is a signal of distress." "Are you the government?" the woman replied, "Well, I hung up that flag that way purposefully. I am in distress. They got my husband in the army, and I don't get his allotment. I either want my husband, or my allotment." Los Angeles Grocery 601 E. Washington St. STAPLE AND FANCY GRO- CERIES AT REASONABLE PRICES GEO. HURST. Prop. Phone 1740 THE INDISPENSABLE A. B. C.

Lampasas, Tex. By Parlea Spriggs The reporter has been on the sick list the past two weeks and unable to send any news from this section. We are all right now and shall endeavor to pen a few lines. Lampasas is in the midst of an oil boom. We have nine or ten test wells now going down and the city is crowded with oil kings. There is hardly room to accommodate the magnates who have been attracted to this place. Mr. Warren Doolittle has been confined the past ten days suffering with an attack of the flu. He is still very weak and unable to leave his room. We trust, however, that he will soon regain his strength and be permitted to mingle with us again. An awful wind storm swept over this section last week and did much damage to buildings and other prop- erty. No Hives were lost, but the property damage was great. Mr. James Rymer, who has been stationed at Camp Travis the past few months, arrived in the city last week to visit his mother and sister. We are always glad to welcome such noble young men and trust he will not make this his last visit. Whenever you feel a little "homesick" just stop off at Lampasas, James. Last Sunday was Rev. Brown's day at the church and he had a crowded house. His remarks were well received and we hope he will deliver another address real soon. After spending several days visiting his family in this city, Mr. Will Berry has returned to Coffman where he conducts a business. Mrs. B. A. Marshall is spending a few days in the city, visiting her son and daughter. FLORENCE FLORENCE By Wm. Mabry Having been so highly honored in last week's issue of the Tribune, one of the youngest and greatest Race papers in the Southwest, I deem it a great privilege to submit herewith my report of the news from our little town. We who reside in Florence, consider it a nice place to live in and want the outside world to know that we are not asleep, but are up and doing. That we are actually doing things in this community is proven by the recent activities of our Mr. Lucas Leos, who, thinking that his present business interests were not extensive enough, invested in 100 head of thoroughbred hogs and is conducting an up-to-date hog ranch. He has a fine bunch of young pigs on hand now, and if you want a genuine souvenir of Florence, see Mr. Lucas. In addition to this, he is prepared to appease the appetites of all tourists at the famous Cozy Cafe, which he also conducts. He has engaged the services of the Tribune reporter and I shall be glad to meet all visitors at this famous culinary establishment. Proud to say, we again have with us Mr. U. S. Kay of Tucson, who is conducting a first class tonsorial parlor in this city. He is prepared to take care of your needs in that line and is anxious to serve you. When you come to Florence, don't ask if we serve colored people. We cater to the trade and serve the public. You are one of that public and we will serve you. Mrs. Kay, Miss Kay, and Master Kay, after spending a week in this city visiting their husband and father, returned to their home in Tucson. They expressed their delight at having had the opportunity of visiting our magnificent city and intimated that they would return again soon. Mr. Kay, whom they left to mourn their loss, will not put any crepe on his door, but will make a flying trip to Tucson (as is his custom) and visit them there. Mrs. C. F. Leos, who has been on the sick list the past two weeks is again able to be up and about as usual After spending the week-end in Phoenix, visiting and sight-seeing, the Tribune reporter arrived safely and will step into harness tomorrow morning at the famous Cozy Cafe. My trip to Phoenix and my stay in that city were indeed pleasant. I want to thank those who in anyway contributed to my happiness while in Phoenix and assure them of my genuine appreciation of their thoughtfulness. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Leos and babies are in the best of health and send greetings to the Tribune and their many friends throughout Arizona. Messrs. Dick Driggers and C. F. Leos, managers of the Florence Motor company, have secured the agency for the Chevrolet and Oldsmobile cars and will be glad to demonstrate these machines to prospective customers. Their district includes all of Pinal county. AJO (By Major Jones) Now the good news comes to us that the colored citizens of Phoenix have organized. We are truly glad to hear this. It's a good movement and every colored person in the state should join and help make it what it is, a big success. Ajo is only a small camp, with very few colored people, still we are ready, heart and soul, to help make this a great league. Whenever the league launches a membership campaign, Ajo will not be found wanting. We are with you all the way. Miss Pearl Robinson has been ill the past week, but is much improved at present. Miss Beulah Graham left Sunday evening for Phoenix for the purpose of having her eyes treated by a specialist. Jonah's experience with the whale is proof that you just can't keep a good man down.

I do hope this letter will find you and folks enjoying life as usual. I am always glad to get a letter from the States, as I get very lonesome here in France trying to enjoy myself in my dugout. I am tired of France now. I have been over here three months and would like to see the States again. I think we shall be home in the spring. "When the armistice was signed we were on our way tothe fighting lines and arrived only 48 hours late. I know now that I am in the army and not behind a plow, for what I have seen in the army is enough to make one realize this fact. You ought to see this country; how it is torn up and how bad it looks. I feel sorry for the people that lived in France. There are lots of them who have no homes. You ought to see the shell holes those big guns made. We are here in Verdun, France, where most of the fighting was done and it is all torn up. I shall have lots to talk about when I get home. It would take a big book to tell all I know. I have seen very little snow this winter. It rains here almost continuously and we seldom see the sun. I shall have some pictures made as soon as I can get to a place where I can do so. * My best regards to all the folks. Yours truly, CORP. RALPH CROOMS, Co. K, 816 Pioneer Inf., A. E. F.
