An Advertisement in THE TRIBUNE Is a DIRECT APPEAL to the Colored People BOLD WRITER SGORES PRESIDENT WILSON VOLUME 1. NO. 50 Great Opportunity for Republicans To Do Justice to Black Americans About fifty years ago three amendments were added to the Constitution o fthe United States—the Thirteenth, which freed the Negro; the Fourteenth, which made him a citizen, and the Fifteenth, which made discrimination against him unlawful. These amendments do not mention the Negro; we are opposed to class legislation, therefore we do not mention classes. We made amendments which would cover the case of all parties for all time; but the Negro happened to be the party immediately affected, and he also happened to be the inspiration and occasion of this legislation. Just as when we find an evil condition in society, we make a law, not to remedy that particular condition only, but to remedy and prevent all similar conditions. The Republican party made these laws, and for fifty years they have claimed the suffrage of colored men on the ground of gratitude for this good legislation. As a matter of fact, however, these laws insured freedom and citizenship and civil rights to all Americans, even to the men who made the amendments, as well as to the Negro. Besides, the Republican party did no more for the Negro than the Negro has done for the whole country; about 200,000 blacks saved the Union, according to Abraham Lincoln, the commander-in-chief of the Union forces. Black men saved the United States when millions of white men were trying their utmost to destroy it. ```markdown ``` This is what gave the Negro his right to freedom and citizenship—which the Republican party acknowledged. The party refused, however, to be so base as to rob them of what they had earned by sweat and blood. The Negro had toiled 250 years to make the United States before he went 200,000 strong to defend it. As years passed the North and South forgot most of their differences, as they ought; but the friends of freedom also forgot the supreme service of the Negro, as they ought not. The South, which insists, like the Germans, that it was simply "over-powered" and not conquered, took advantage of the friendship of the North to push the Negro as far back toward ante-bellum conditions as possible. This has been done by systematic and persistent denial of civil rights and by restricting the Negro's right to vote in every way, legal and illegal. The North was only too glad to get rid of the "Negro ques" if possible, and the South pretended that to "put the Negro out of politics" would eventually get "the Negro question out of politics." This is very false philosophy; when the Negro is out of politics, the Negro is in politics; for when the Negro is out, the question, the eternal question is, how to keep him out. When the Negro was a slave, he was certainly "out of politics." But he was a bigger question then than he has ever been as a voter. We might make a formula that the Negro question is in politics in proportion as the Negro is unjustly pushed out of politics. When the Negro was a slave, three men ran for the presidency at one time on "the Negro question." That cannot happen where the Negro is a voter. When the Negro is given his political rights on exactly the same terms as the other races in America, then the Negro question is settled, for then, and not until then, will we be rid of the eternal question of "how to maintain and justify a special status for the Negro." With no special status, there would be no special question. That is exactly what the Fifteenth Amendment means. Right and truth are the solution of all question. That is clear—so clear! Now, social matters are different. I rather admit the mental adroitness of the fellow who always tries to mix in social calls, marriage bells and tea parties with the consideration of the Negro's political and civil rights. But I do not admire that fellow's honesty. A man must choose his own friends and chums. There is a difference between rights and privileges. Every man should have the right to be the friend and associate of any other man, but he cannot have that privilege all of his own choosing. As to whether any man has such a privilege should depend partly on that other man and other things. It is the question of law to settle the question of right, not of privilege. Let us speak plainly and be understood. When the Republican party was in power, it quietly allowed the South to rob the Negro of his right to vote and to pursue happiness in America, because there was a hope, a vain hope, that thereby a white Republican party would grow up in the South. Any old ignorant Negro who knows Southern people could have told the Republican leaders better. But they would not be told—they had to learn by experience. Now Claude Kitchin, John Sharp Williams, Josephus Daniels, and even Woodrow Wilson have supplied the experience; they have shown that the "Solid South" is not to be broken by any such attack of "kindness." This unfaithfulness of the Republicans to the Negro has put both the Negro and the North in a very peculiar and very unfair situation. First the Negro is made the basis of a representation in Congress without having a voice in the selection of the representatives. Many Southern states would lose half of their representation in Congress but for their Negroes who do not vote. Woodrow Wilson could not have been elected in 1916 but for the non-voting Negro population which gave the Democratic South its weight in the electoral college. And this is unfair to the North, the more democratic part of the country, when spelled with a little "d." At present a white man's vote in the South is many times more powerful than a white man's vote in the North. The Republican party sacrificed the Negro to the South and gained nothing. The Republican Congress should now notify Mr. Wilson and his party that the Negro who won his freedom in 1863-5 ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1919 has now won "the new freedom," also on the battlefields of Europe. The Negro expects more now. He is not the Negro of 1870. He is educated and ambitious—and the party that now gains the Negro's support and favor will be making a substantial gain. Is the wisdom or the statesmanship of the Republican party equal to this opportunity? History is to be made now. War is not the only power with which to make history. War only opens the gates to the big possibilities. The real work of history-making begins when an armistice is signed.—William Pickens, in Philadelphia Public Ledger. BLACK PATRIARCH 135 YEARS OF AGE DOWN IN ALABAMA Troy, Ala.—Special.—An interesting old character lives in Pike County, below Troy. He is an old negro man who claims to be 135 years old. After the war the old negro came to the Milo section from Florida. His name is Jim Chapman. He was a native African. He has a wonderful memory, remembering things of long ago. When the census was taken in 1910 he gave in his age as 125. The old negro has never worn a pair of shoes in his life. He says he has never had toothache and his teeth are now sound and strong. He has never been arrested for any deed. He has been a good character and is much liked by his white friends. His wife, who died recently, was a most interesting character. She was an African by birth also and was brought to this country by slave dealers. She was bought off the block at the slave market in Montgomery just before the beginning of the war between the states and came to Pike county as a servant. She went by the name of Jennie Boutwell. She and Jim Chapman met when he came here from Florida shortly after the war and were married. WHY CHALLENGER DEMPSEY SHOULD WIN RING TITLE By His Manager, Jack Kearns July 4th will witness the crowning of a new heavyweight champion of the world. His name is Jack Dempsey, of Salt Lake, Utah. Ever since I became the manager of Dempsey, something more than a year ago, I have been confident that I had a champion under my wing. I am more confident now than ever before that Dempsey will annex the heavyweight crown. The chance to battle for the title was the goal that Dempsey and I headed for when we formed our partnership. The fear that Jess Willard would refuse to emerge from semi-retirement was the only shadow that ever crossed Dempsey's path or mine. Thanks to the daring spirit and sportsmanship of Tex Rickard, the peer of all promoters, the match between Dempsey and Willard has at last become a reality, and our goal is in sight. When we started out I saw in Dempsey a young, strong, willing, hard hitting six-footer who needed only experience and an adviser to make him a championship prospect. We became great pals from the first. Dempsey trusted me and banked on my judgment, and I had unbounded confidence in him. The result was a rapid climb from the ranks of a second-rater to the topmost rung of the fraternity of challengers. Dempsey has knocked openents cold with no more effort than I sit down to my breakfast. First of all he liked a fight. He still does. He acquired polish so fast that it often made my head swim to watch him work, and with experience came the confidence that counts for so much. Today Jack Dempsey isn't afraid of a six-foot buzz-saw. There isn't a man in the world he is afraid to face. He glories in a fight and he has that something—call it nervousness if you will—that makes him 'tug at the leash' when he is waiting for the bell. PLURIBUS UNUM $100,000 INSURANCE COMPANY ORGANIZED BY COLORED PEOPLE $100,000 INSURANCE COMPANY ORGANIZED BY COLORED PEOPLE EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Incorporation papers of the Liberty Life Insurance company of Evansville, Ind., the second company of its kind in the United States whose officers are all colored men, were filed with County Recorder Barker. The capital stock of the company is placed at $100,000, about $12,000 of which has been subscribed by the incorporation. The stock will sell for $20 a share. The incorporators are: Logan H. Stewart, president; W. H. Bell, secretary-treasurer; W. A. Gaines, vice-president; W. H. Bell, Adrian Bell, Luther Bell, J. D. Cox, J. Robert Walls, John Tallafferro, Caesar Roach and Robert Bronaugh. NEGROES OF SOUTH CAROLINA ORGANIZE POLITICAL PARTY Columbia, S. C.-Negroes of South Carolina are working for the formation of a new political party to be known as the Union Republican party, which proposes to affiliate with any "political organization that will give us the rights to which we are entitled." Bishop Chappele is a leading figure in the movement. COLORED MAN RECEIVED BRUTAL TREATMENT IN LOUISIANA COLORED MAN RECEIVED BRUTAL TREATMENT IN LOUISIANA Homer, La.—Tiroug the sinking of spouting oil wells in the midst of the colored citizens of this place, many colored families were made wealthy by the sale or lease of their farm holdings. Ten thousand dollars per acre was the price paid for the best land, and some colored farmers held for sale as much as 240 acres of such land. One man, Mr. Jones, invested $100,000 of his money in United States Liberty bonds, and others made investments of similar sums to finance our war, and because of their gratitude to the genius of the land which had brought them their wealth. It was the fate of Clarence Cooper, after selling his land at the top price, to let it be known that he was leaving for the North and the opportunity to raise and educate his children without the restrictions of prejudice and the fear of injustice and mob violence. As Mr. Cooper was about to enter his church last Sunday he was stopped by a group of brutal and fendish white Louisianians and whipped into insensibility in front of the church. After its inhuman and Hunnish action, the mob entered the church and boasted of what they had done, and mentioned it as a warning to any others who dared to leave the place in search of other conditions. The United States Department of Justice is being appealed to to investigate and protect the colored citizens against this open violation of their Constitutional rights. TRIBUNE COLORED CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA WIN SCHOOL FIGHT Charleston, S. C.—The board of education of the city of Charleston, S. C., after several months of agitation of the question of negro teachers for negro schools, settled the question by yielding to the demand of the negro citizens. In so doing the board reversed its previous action, which refused to acceded to the wishes of the negro people. The following is the resolution passed by the board, giving the white teachers of Negro schools of Charleston until September 1, 1920, to secure other jobs: "Charleston, S. C. "Resolved. That on or before the scholastic year commencing September 1st, 1920, that no white teachers shall be employed in the public schools in the city of Charleston to teach negro pupils, but that negro teachers will be employed to teach the negro pupils." BAPTIST PREACHER SUES FOR DIVORCE Parson Evidently Does Not Believe in St. Matthew 5-Verse 32 Chico.—Matrimony as he experienced it was not compatible with a life of religious endeavor, according to a divorce complaint filed at Oroville by Harley G. Hall of Chico against his wife, Georgia P. Hall. Hall formerly was pastor of the First Baptist church at Visalia. He charges that during his Visalia pastorate his wife accused him of improper relations with other women and declared he was not a fit person to be a minister of the gospel. She also swore to a warrant charging him with insanity, he avers the case later being dropped. As a result of the notoriety and mortification resulting from his wife's heckling, Hall claims, he was forced to resign his pastorate and abandon the ministry. He charges his wife deserted him in 1917, after which he came to Chico. He asks for the custody of a three-year-old child, now with Mrs. Hall. PROTECTIVE LEAGUE LAUNCHES A GREAT MEMBERSHIP DRIVE PROTECTIVE LEAGUE LAUNCHES A GREAT MEMBERSHIP DRIVE The Phoenix Protective League has launched a membership drive in an effort to enroll the names of all the colored citizens of Arizona who want to better their condition and who feel the need of a strong organization like the League to bring about this change.

T WILSON riter Says World Not Safe Negro and Jew Are Safe ILSON World Not Safe and Jew Are Safe Great Writer Says World Not Safe Unless Negro and Jew Are Safe CONDEMN WILSON'S SCHEME (Citizen's Advocate) Before the writer is spread out the document as read by President Woodrow Wilson, as listened to by the quickly summoned delegates of fourteen, partly very old, and partly just evolving nations, and as reported in the columns of the daily papers, a document that is purported to bring the sanctified peace to the whole war-ridden world. Right at the outset it may be safely stated that these fourteen powers, as represented by the various delegates of the meeting, had not an equal saying or an equal chance of participation in the making of this document. The United States stood first, because every other nation was a debtor people to our government and our capitalists. Next to America came England because she controls more than one-third of the whole world. Then comes France, because poor, "bleeding" France, the old arch enemy of Germany, now had her "last" inning for the "grabbing" of territory, before the whole world would be transformed into a "Babel" of peace, into a tranquility of a modern piece of Wilsonian confusion. The document has had at no time the earnest consideration of the following peoples: The German, the Austrian, the Russian, the Spanish, the Swedish, the Norwegian, the Danish, the Netherlandish, the Swiss, the Bulgarian, and a few more smaller states of Europe, but it was made fully in accordance with the wishes of the men that were supposed to head the leading war opposition to the "militaristic" Germans. Japan with her race issue was at the launching ceremonies of this Wilsonesque scheme of a world peace league, whipped into silence by the very "ubiquitous" members of the white race, as a race issue may have meant too much fairness to the dusky races of the world. In this document of peace only the white delegates could breathe their philosophy of peace, their shibboleth of a world's salvation, as the other four races had no real shaping force to work out the fine scheme for a just peace for all the five races. In other words, all the pre-eminent robber elements of the white race sat in solemn, genuinely capitalistic judgment over the subjugated Colored races of the world. Three main nations—America, Great Britain and France—led the procession, two wobbling main assistants—Italy and Japan—followed closely, while nine other people, three of whom not quite nationally developed, just marched along, as the others led the way. When this league was organized American independence, Lincoln humanity and the noble Monroe doctrine were buried. The most striking feature of the voluminous verbosity of this strange document is the bossy reference to the future of the Colored peoples in Central Africa. Its tone is most autocratic, partly veiled in real piety, but really clothed in the most forceful language of the dealers in "white" supremacy over the many millions of Colored peoples that must henceforth be presided over by a combined guardianship of the most potent "white" nations of Europe. To give to the kind reader a complete idea of this "benevolent" supervision of the "pious" whites over the blacks in Africa, let us reprint this irresistible piece of perpetual white domination on a more drastic scale than was ever attempted even in the palmiest days of that great "king of Belgium," the "only" Leopold: "Other peoples, especially those of Central Africa, are at such a stage that the mandatory must be responsible for the administration of the territory subject to conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience or religion, subject only to the maintenance of public order and morals, the prohibition of abuses such as the slave trade, the arms traffic and the liquor traffic and the prevention of the establishment of fortifications or military or naval bases and of military training of the natives for other than police purposes, and the defense of territory, and will also secure equal opportunities for trade and commerce of other members of the league." If, as is said in this Wilsonian document, "freedom of conscience or religion" are subject only to the maintenance of public order and morals, it must mean such free conscience and religion as the order and the morals of the white governors and dictators direct. The natives are only allowed to do police duty, to subject their own flesh and blood to the whims and wants of their white bosses, but they cannot have any ammunition for any other purposes, surely not for the lofty purpose to set Africa free from the robberies of the white man, or to strike the final big blow that drives the white man away from shores that do not honestly belong to him. The natives "must not get any military training" to regain their sacred land for themselves, only such military training as suits the Wilson white men to keep the dark races "dark and down" in old Africa. For England's sake, for France's sake, for America's sake, for Italy's sake, for Belgium's sake, for the white man's sake, the slave trade, the arms traffic, and the liquor traffic" are prohibited, because there are much better and subtler ways to fool the native man than by aiding the Lincoln-condemned slave trade, only Englishmen, only Yankees, only Frenchmen are fit to bear arms, but not the general natives, not even after police duty is carried on, according to the tone of the Wilson document; truly Billy Sunday must chuckle down his sleeves, for all liquor traffic in Central Africa, a la mode America, PAGE TWO Entered as Second Business & Managing Editor...

R. M. M. from France, where he went following the signing of a representative of the United States Government, lady the Negro's soldiers, says the Germans, after the Germ soldiers were that irresistible foe of their look to alienate those colored men by citing their injustices forced upon them in their own country, nature which reads as follows: The Colored Soldiers o fine United States Army: Hello, boys, what are you doing over there? Fig. 1. Why? Have they ever done you any harm to white folks and the lying English and Americans? But the Germans ought to be wiped out for the sake of democracy. What is democracy? Personal freedom enjoying the same rights before the law. Do you rights as the white people do in America; the law democracy, or are you not rather treated over the citizens? * * * And how about the law? Are lynching and their connected therewith a lawful proceeding in a deed? Now, all this is entirely different in Germany, the colored people; where they treat them as gentlemen, class citizens. They enjoy exactly the same men and quite a number of colored people have in and other German cities. Why, then, fight for the benefit of the Wall Street robbers and thus they have loaned the English, French and Dutch made the tools of the egotistic and rapacious America, and there is nothing in the whole broken bones, horrible wounds, spoiled health, motion whatever will you get out of this unjust war in German Germany, so you are fools if you allow your time over and see for yourselves. Let those do make profit out of this war. Don't allow them to fodder. To carry a gun in this service is not a throw it away and come over the German life friends who will help you along." Men are moved to commit rash deeds by imaginaries as a case of real wrong, a wrong that no one can black boys, true and loyal, refused to allow evenate them from the cause for which they were. This was a mighty challenge. We doubt that a class of American citizens who could have resisted under the circumstances—this was loyalty tested. What Writer Says World No According to a statement given out by Dr. R. R. Moton since his return from France, where he went following the signing of the armistice as a representative of the United States Government to advise and study the Negro's soldiers, says the Germans, after finding that the Negro soldiers were that irresistible foe of their mighty army, undertook to alienate those colored men by citing the many wrongs and injustices forced upon them in their own country by distributing literature which reads as follows: "To the Colored Soldiers o the United States Army: "Hello, boys, what are you doing over there? Fighting the Germans? Why? Have they ever done you any harm? Of course, some white folks and the lying English and American papers told you that the Germans ought to be wiped out for the sake of humanity and democracy. What is democracy? Personal freedom, all citizens enjoying the same rights before the law. Do you enjoy the same rights as the white people do in America; the land of freedom and democracy, or are you not rather treated over there as second-class citizens? * * * "And how about the law? Are lynching and the most horrible crimes connected therewith a lawful proceeding in a democratic country? Now, all this is entirely different in Germany, where they do like colored people; where they treat them as gentlemen and not as second-class citizens. They enjoy exactly the same privileges as white men and quite a number of colored people have fine positions in Berlin and other German cities. Why, then, fight the German? Only for the benefit of the Wall Street robbers and to protect the millions they have loaned the English, French and Italians? You have been made the tools of the egotistic and rapacious rich in England and America, and there is nothing in the whole game for you but broken bones, horrible wounds, spoiled health, or death. No satisfaction whatever will you get out of this unjust war. You have never seen Germany, so you are fools if you allow yourselves to hate us. Come over and see for yourselves. Let those do the fighting who make profit out of this war. Don't allow them to use you as cannon fodder. To carry a gun in this service is not an honor but a shame. Throw it away and come over the German lines. You will find friends who will help you along." Men are moved to commit rash deeds by imaginary wrongs, but here was a case of real wrong, a wrong that no one could deny, yet these black boys, true and loyal, refused to allow even this citation to alienate them from the cause for which they were fighting—Democracy. This was a mighty challenge. We doubt that there are any other class of American citizens who could have resisted the temptation under the circumstance—this was loyalty tested—Argus. Great Writer Says World Not Safe ished there, but the masters—England, France, such as these can still drink their whiskey at he is truly "a most wonderful piece" of statesman or in Brussels what no native in Africa can be a bit of mixed-up statesmanship that only theists of North America can ever rectify and reced" white man can drink whiskey in London, "black man cannot drink any in Central Agricultural purposes. This is another high-class shs splendid program of a square deal for all. the defense of territory"—oh, what a splen is abolished there, but the masters—England, France, Belgium and Italy—such as these can still drink their whiskey at home. It is truly "a most wonderful piece" of statesmanship to do in London or in Brussels what no native in Africa can be allowed to do. Here is a bit of mixed-up statesmanship that only the "grand" Prohibitionists of North America can ever rectify and reconcile, for the "civilized" white man can drink whiskey in London, but the "uncivilized" black man cannot drink any in Central Africa, not even for medicinal purposes. This is another high-class showing of this league's splendid program of a square deal for all. "The defense of territory"—oh, what a splendid Wilsonian phrase of scholastic justice. Whole territory is to be defended? Is it the territory of the black native against the intruding Englishman? Is it the territory of the "noble" Belgians of the style of old King Leopold against the fast learning natives that aim to claim their own territory for their own people? The oppressed Colored man all over the world does not aim at all at a change of his bosses from one nationality to another nationality—what he really aims at is to drive the white intruder out of the land that has been stolen from him—and in driving the invader out the Colored man is not very particular whether the white intruder is English, French, Belgian or even a "Wilson" American! The Colored man of Central Africa will quickly recognize "in the defense of the territory" his own territory, that can never rightfully belong to a league of 14 so-called white nations. If Wilson and his "loyal" coadjutors are fully sincere in their declarations, let them destroy all their own fortifications first in every land that comprises the white members of their league and force Germany and her friends to do likewise ere they shout for the prevention of the establishment of any fortifications or military and naval bases of the black man's territory. Are Wilson and his white friends afraid that if forts and military establishments were allowed in the black man's own land, that some nice day the sons of Ham may gather in hosts of hundreds of millions of people and force the white invaders to go back to their own lands or into the deep sea or high up in the air? Or, as this very, very smartly compiled document indicates, do they aim to deal with the motherland in Central Africa and other parts as they have dealt in the Southland in North America? It must be stated very emphatically that the Colored people in America are very suspicious of any and all of President Wilson's THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING political moves, for they know that Mr. Wilson was ready to raise ten millions of soldiers or more to punish Germany for her militarism, but when will he raise 100,000 soldiers on American soil and send such a number or more to any spot anywhere in the land, thus holding any city or hamlet in Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Illinois, or any other place, under strict military rule until the lynchers are found out and hung according to law and the rights of the Colored populace vindicated, the same true and kind Colored people that he called upon to shed their blood in a battlefield of white men and white interests, whilst their own flesh and blood, their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and friends were fouly lynched in the same country that elected Wilson a President and that he left for two months "to make the world safe for Democracy," while the entire Southland and many parts of the North are up to this very day most unsafe for the Negro. With more than one dozen Colored people, including women, lynched during Mr. Wilson's stay in Europe, we may need one million soldiers to stamp out lynching forever in America. (By Archie Lewis) Your reporter is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. L. A. Walker of Phoenix, the corresponding secretary of the Phoenix Protective League, inquiring if it would be possible to organize a branch of the League in Ray. We have answered in the affirmative and a meeting will be called in the near future to perfect plans for an organization. Mrs. Parker of Tempe spent last week in Ray visiting her daughter, Mrs. F. Smith. No Colored man, woman or child believes in Wilson, unless he will devote himself from now on to stamp out lynching by force; unless he condemns forever the disfranchisement of the Negro in the South; unless he stops the humiliating traffic in Jim Crow cars for a people that gave soldiers for the army, sailors for the navy, and toilers in the days of peace; unless he declares now, once, forever and always, that the black man can no longer be excluded from the long race of life in any field of honest toil or economic enterprise, and that politically, legally, economically and financially the Colored peoples shall have the same chances as any other peoples, leaving their social status a matter of personal or individual choice rather than a mandatory direction by law. Mrs. Mayme Henderson of Superior is visiting her sister, Mrs. Archie Lewis. of this city. She will be joined by her husband, and after erecting a cottage in Sunny Side, they will reside here permanently. The colored school will be moved to Sunny Side next week. Mrs. Rich, the teacher in this school, takes a great interest in the children. We are fortunate to have such an accomplished young lady to instruct our children, and, too, we are grateful. Rube Reed, a candidate for mayor of Sunny Side, will begin moving to the new townsite real soon. Where do we go from here, Rube? But not only the Negro fared in this lengthy and contradictory peace epistle of the 14 gatherers of the situation, the Jew of the world fared almost as bad, and in one respect even worse than the Negro. The immortal Jew, along with the crucified Negro, are the veritable Pariahs of this new and treacherous document of the white man. Rumania, the old arch-enemy of the Jews, the gypsy-like Czeche-Slovaks, created mostly through the Wilson lamentations and the blood-thirsty Polanders as led by the Jew-baiting musician-agitator, Paderewski, were given at least "benevolent" places of recognition at the table of the elected-selected "14," though the whole world knows that these three hateful peoples have destroyed many thousands of lives of the defenseless Jews in the last 50 or more years. LOCAL NEWS Prominent among the recent arrivals in Phoenix last week were Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lucas of Jerome. They will take possession of their home on West Grant street and abide with us. Mr. Lucas contemplates the opening of an amusement park for colored people, definite plans and announcement of which will be made soon. He owns three vacant lots, corner Ninth avenue and Grant, and this property will be converted into an ideal park for picnics, dancing and all kinds of amusements. He will have two taxis making regular trips to and from the park for the convenience of patrons. But we must stop here and let him tell the remainder in a big half page advertisement. Watch for it. Will the Jew be safe now in these three murderers' countries, since Mr. Wilson is a political bedfellow of these notorious bandit nations or so-called nations? Will they stop to "lynch" Jewish men, violate Jewish women and destroy Jewish babies, because President Wilson has given them a rebirth and a regeneration in this new 14-strong league of nations? Will the Jew, the wandering Jew, now get his much desired Palestine, or must he still beg or perish, whilst he crusades for the possession of a centralized territory for his peoples? Will the Jew be at home in Jerusalem and the Negro at home in Africa, and especially in the South of North America, the writer dares ask Mr. Woodrow Wilson, President of the U. S. A., after this league is really formed, or if ever it can be formed on a fair, realistic groundwork, as is now most gravely doubted? The writer is most solemnly afraid that England has fooled the entire globe with this one-sided organization of this "wonder-league," for the other 13 participants are compelled, if this league could live, to help to police the big English possessions and risk their lives, fiances and countries to help England, the "ne'er do well." Purchase Home on South Side— Mrs. T. J. White has purchased a neat little cottage at 612 South Third avenue. She said it feels better to pay rent to yourself than to a landlord. Mrs. White will move into her new home as soon as possession is given. At the same time the liberty of outraged peoples such as the Irish, the Boers, the Hindus, lies prostrate in the dust and America must help in guardian-duty over these weeping peoples, for England only England pre-eminently! Acute Indigestion— "The league of nations," for the above reasons, means, therefore, nothing more or less than the perpetuation of English rule for all the centuries at the great expense of America and other peoples, and it means the skillful trimming of the wings of many suffering peoples, races and nationalities, that desire liberty and independence, but cannot get either, as long as America stands as the long-range and short-mind sponsor of that most "innocent" country—"immaculate England! Mr. Phil Green, 226 N. 11th street, suffered an attack of acute indigestion last Saturday, but is now hale and hearty. False Alarm— Our wires were crossed last week and we reported Mrs. Georgia Hoyt on the sick list. It was the lady next door, dear reader. Mrs. Hoyt is well as usual, and we publish this as an apology. NOTE:—Since writing the above article the news came out that the high priests of the Wilson Democracy will begin the national campaign very early this season by plunging the country into a speedy political canvass with the league of nations idea as their slogan. Ford White Back in U. S. A Mrs. T. J. White received a telegram Sunday stating that her son, Ford White, who has been doing overseas duty, arrived safely at New York on the 27th ult. He is now at Camp Upton and expects to be home soon. This action for a bold political campaign means nothing less than an early challenge to the Republicans and the Socialists and all the political foemen of Wilson to dispute for the Presidency of 1920, with the dove of peace as Mr. Wilson's emblem for the second time and with Wilson bidding for the mastery of America for the third time. The whole world knows that Woodrow Wilson just reached the Presidency of the United States the last time by catching the white women of America with his specious plea. "1 am for peace!" Mrs. W. A. Lewis Passes— Wednesday morning, March 5. Mrs. W. A. Lewis breathed her last. She had been in poor health for several years and the end was not altogether unexpected. Her husband died only a few weeks ago and her mind had been slightly unbalanced since his demise. Mrs. Lewis stayed at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Lewis, 1419 East Jefferson at the time of her death. The body is at the Maus undertaking parlors and no funeral announcement will be made until her relatives are heard from. How well he stood for peace is history now, as four months after his peace declarations and his election America had to face a war, mostly for European and American capital, least for humanity. The writer holds that the people of this country should not permit a President to launch forth so early with a second specious plea for his hoped-for second re-election, as now seems to be the open game of Woodrow Wilson, as the Republicans and the Socialists should rally and save this country from this most threatening third octopus of politics, from a third term for President Wilson. The league of nations plan, as far as revealed now, helps only England the most; France next, with America as a good willing treasurer to do most of the paying of the bills. No lover of true justice, no upholder of the Monroe doctrine, no skeptic of the real sincerity of Wilson's espousal for peace when he ran on a peace platform the last time, can any longer train with and for the cohorts of Woodrow Wilson. Coterie Club— The ladies of the Oticerie club met last Thursday afternoon, Feb. 27, at the residence of Mrs. W. C. Hackett, 729 West Sherman street, All members were present, together with the following visitors: Mesdames Lyles, N. W. Bradley, Hackett, Sr., Parks and Smith. Dainty refreshments were served and all spent a very enjoyable afternoon. Next meeting will be with Mrs. N. W. Bradley, 339 West Harrison street. The duty of the hour is to steer clear of this league of nations idea, as it can never do any good for anyone in its revealed shape as a one-sided but somewhat enlarged clique idea of the formeer entente-coalition. No Colored man or woman can be interested in Wilson's humanity, as the duty of Wilson should have been upon his arrival here to start a real campaign of throbbing humanity against lynching, instead of trying to help England to police its stolen "possessions" of many empires in different parts of the world and keeping others from getting the former German colonies at "poor" England's request, since England would not dare to grab them herself at this season of our history. Progressive Club— The ladies of the Progressive club made a substantial donation to Mrs. Chas. P. Arnold, the bereaved widow of Mr. C. P. Arnold, who departed this life recently, leaving besides his widow, a family of four small boys without proper means of support. The ladies of the club loaded an express wagon down with everything eatable, and ordered the driver to discharge the cargo at Mrs. Arnold's door. These ladies are noted for their generosity and kind spiritedness, but on this occasion they fairly outdid anything of record. The duty of every patriotic and scholarly man and woman is to show President Wilson that no man who visits only England, France and Italy in a sort of a clique-masterly way is the real specimen of humanity for all the rest of our people to follow. The duty of our people is to prove to Mr. Wilson that he cannot wantonly play the public of America for his puppets and that he dare not do what every American President before him would have disdained to do.—M. Sgt. A. McElroy, of the army hospital corps at Ft. Whipple, was a business visitor in the city a few days this week. Sgt. McElroy has been 27 years and eight months in the service of the government and says he will re-enlist as soon as he is discharged. He has charge of the culinary department at the hospital at Ft. Whipple Barracks and is considered a valuable man to the government. He paid for a year's subscription to the Tribune and complimented us very highly on the cleanliness and neatness of this wonderful little paper. After visiting his wife on East Monroe street, and attending to other business, he returned to the Mile High City Tuesday. He will be given a three months' furlough beginning next month and expects to spend most of the time in Phoenix. Welcome to our city, Sergeant. Mrs. J. J. Prather, 234 N. 11th street, while driving east on Jefferson street last Monday, struck an elderly white man, throwing him to the pavement and rendering him unconscious. Those who saw the accident say it was unavoidable and no blame attaches to the driver of the car. Last report, the patient was resting easily at a local hospital and has a good chance to recover. On Friday afternoon, February 28, Mrs. W. C. Hackett, Mrs. Ella Hackett and Mrs. Fannie Parks formed a motor party that enjoyed a trip to Mesa, Chandler and other suburban towns. The driver of the car lost his way and wandered around aimlessly a few hours, then instinctively made a bee line for 729 West Sherman street, Phoenix. Even though they were lost for a time, all enjoyed the outing and reported a splendid trip.

Saturday, March 8, 1919 E. E. Hilbert Making Good— That Mr. Hilbert, 334 West Jefferson, the rheumatic specialist, is making good. goes without saying. Mr. Robt.

This case and scores of others have been successfully treated by this eminent specialist Revival Meetings Begin— Rev. C. A. Gilmore, pastor of the Second Baptist church, corner Fifth street and Jefferson, began his prayer meetings Wednesday night, preparatory to a series of revival meetings which will be held at this church the coming week Rev.

The Phoenix Protective League has been a much-needed factor in Phoenix, and I'm sure glad to hear of its advent in the community and hope it has come to stay. Everything for the good of our people must be foremost in our minds, and this is a time for unity, a time to establish a greater foothold for our people, because there is more trouble coming for us to face, and preparedness is the watchword. Efficiency is the key which will make it possible for the Negro to succeed, and determination, backed by a co-operative community, will make things possible. Yours respectfully. The ladies of the Charity club met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Chas. F. Carter, 715 West Grant street. A splendid meeting was held and adjournment was taken to meet next Wednesday with Mrs. A. Stewart, 238 West Jackson street. These ladies plan a grand entertainment for March 17, St. Patrick's Day, and request all clubs and other organizations to Quits Pastorate at Mesa- Rev. C. A. Glimore announced his intention of resigning the pastorate of the Baptist Mission at Mesa. His next visit to the Gem City will be for the purpose of tendering his resignation to the members and officers. His charge in this city, the Second Baptist church, has grown so large in the way of membership that he feels duty bound to give all his services to the upbuilding of this church. Offered Charge at Denver— Rev. R. H. Herring, pastor of the THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING A. M. E. church, received a letter from Bishop Parks last week, offering him the pastorate of Campbell Chapel in Denver, Colo. He declined the offer for the reason that his physical condition is not such as would be improved by a removal to a cold climate, especially at this time of the year. This is a flatering offer as Campbell Chapel is considered the Second church in the Colorado conference in point of membership and salary its pastor. This splendid offer from the bishop is a fitting tribute to the worth and value of Rev. Herring and shows that the bishop is watching the progress of the church here. Mrs. Arnold Indisposed— Mrs. Charles P. Anold, 1705 East Jefferson, has been on the sick list the past few weeks, but is slowly convalescing.

Her husband is in the train service, operating between Phoenix and Ash Fork, and they expect to make this their home.

Rainwater, Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas Rain- water and Mr. Chester A. Potts. All Yumaites know what it means to be a guest of the Catons, as their barn- yard is literally covered with the choicest meat, and that’s “chicken. Mr. E. Rainwater surely spreads some Joy when it comes to eating chicken, and Mrs. Caton knows how to prepare it. Just as the party was ready to return to Yuma, Mr. and Mrs. Caton presented the guests with a large pail ‘of eggs, several pounds of butter and some large jugs of milk, Gee! but it's great to see how prosperous all the colored citizens of this community are, and how progressive, Mr. A.

(By Parlea Spriggs) One bright Sunday morning I’ was surprised to see Rev. Brown and Mr. Charlie Adams out making calls in northwest Lampasas. This place is a good spot where all the colored people live. About three-fourths of a mile from the court house we would like to erect a rock church for this side of the town. Well, gentlemen, call again. You are always welcome and our doors stand ajar. Sunday was a high day in this old town. Rev.
