Subscribe Now Definition Of The Black Man's Place THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BLACK MAN'S PLACE VOLUME 1, NO. 52 Defin THE REAL SIGNIFIC THE B (By E. J. Moore, in Tampa Bulletin) You have no doubt frequently heard the assertion, "Niggers should stay in their place," and wondered in your soul just what particular place has been especially assigned to you by the narrow-chested fellow who assumes such authority. For it seems that whatever and wherever that place should be is left entirely to the discretion of the other fellow. Whatever he conceives in his mind to be the Negro's place, that's it. And what is more, Mr. Colored Man must understand each individual so well, and read his mind so accurately that he will know just exactly what place he must occupy, and stay in it; that is, until some other fellow comes along and makes further readjustment in order to suit his whiffs. To some his place is with the beasts of the forests, to others who are a little more charitable he is given a place with the donkey, while still others take him upon his merits, and accord him the same place that is accorded other rational and intelligent beings. No other race under the sun is cautioned to stay in his place but the Negro race. And that place may be any position that the other fellow conceives the negro should be. What is that place, and where is it? Is it the three back seats in a street car? Is it the Jim Crow car on a passenger train? Is it the delapidated and unimproved section of our cities? Does it take the form of short school terms and poorly paid teachers? Does it mean the barring of Negroes from respectable jobs. Does it mean discrimination and lynching of Negroes while others are treated fairly and given a day in court? God forbid! And yet by inference that is exactly what the assertion means when a fellow says a Negro should stay in his place. Other races may roam at will, but the Negro must always be mindful of his place, and be very careful not to tread on forbidden territory; he must move around in a world circumscribed by any one who chooses to do so, or be guilty of the most unpardonable crime of getting out of his place. So the question naturally artises, "What is the Negro's place?" In answer to that it would seem that the question of citizenship and manhood rights must first be determined. Let us see. The Declaration of Independence says in part as follows: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. The preamble to the Constitution of the United States is as follows: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish JUSTICE, insure do-mestice tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of LIBERTY to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." The Fourteenth article of amendments to the Constitution is as follows: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state in which they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall ABRIDGE the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any PERSON of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. We have reason to believe that these provisions set forth in the foregoing paragraphs include the Negro, too. His place has been fully determined by the Constitution of the White Man Killed By Colored Soldier Down In Mississippi SARDIS, Miss.—Bob Bedford and Barney Nance died at the Baptist Memorial hospital in Mempix last week from gunshot wounds received in a shooting scrape with a colored soldier, who has not yet been apprehended. Bedford had 18 perforations in his intestines. Reports of the shooting indicate that the men were shot by the soldier, who recently returned from a training camp. A fight between a white boy and a little colored boy took place. The colored boy, getting the best of the scrap, the white men interfered, and the soldier went to the little colored boy'es rescue, whereupon a pitched battle between the white men and the colored soldier took place, in which the marksmanship of the well-trained soldier proved the best. The white people down here are beginning to realize the folly in trying to treat the colored returned soldiers as they did before the war. From last reports no arrests had been made. Lady Demonstrator Of New Hose Fastner Nearly Causes Riot Lady Demonstrator Of New Hose Fastner Nearly Causes Riot OAKLAND, Cal., March 18. Promptly at noon a dainty young woman stepped into the front window of a down town department store and began to demonstrate a new device to hold up women's stockings. Several things happened immediately thereafter. Fifty men packed the sidewalk in front of the window. A horse dragged a delivery wagon into an automobile trying to get a view. Two small boys climbed a trolley pole and peered over the heads of the rest. Automobiles halted, street cars stopped, and a call for a policeman was sent in. A policeman was finally found with his nose pressed against the window. Not a woman saw the demonstration. SPEEDWAY IN FRONT OF NEGRO SCHOOL SPEEDWAY IN FRONT OF NEGRO SCHOOL LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — The school board of the city schools has just finished the task of marking all of the streets leading to schools with signs cautioning motorists to go slow under penalty of law. A reporter for the Protest visited all of the colored schools, but failed to see any sign which stated go slow, and as we crossed in front of one a Ford or thiazzie dashed by at 35 miles per hour. If any children had been within ten feet of it they would have suffered from suffocation at least. It is common talk that Fifth avenue, on which is located the largest negro school is used as a speedway. The school board, no doubt, needs a little prodding. United States, which has assigned him the same place as every other nationality within its borders. So when the assertion is made that Negroes should stay in their place, the real significance is that he should stay "out" of the place assigned other intelligent beings; that he should forever remain a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. Verily, the Negro's place is identically the same as that guaranteed to every other citizen, and for that he should fight with might and main if it takes all summer. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1919 PROF. P. LANDRY Principal Douglas School, Phoenix Principal Landry has enjoyed a successful and brilliant career as an educator. Henry Watterson Scores Pres. Wilson Says He Is on Mission of Self-Exploitation in Europe and His Performance is Regarded With Amazement. MIAMI, Ela., March 18.—Henry Watterson, asked for an expression of views touching the president's latest adventure, said: "Mr. Wilson should not be permitted to depart upon his second mission of self-exploitation in Europe without some expression of the popular disapproval. This is required to meet his wholly questionable representation that he is the authorized agent of public opinion in the United States. No American president ever presumed so much upon such scanty warrant. Thoughtful people everywhere regard his autocrisis performances with amazement, nor did the mock duck in Tobin's comedy surpass in extravagance the figure he cuts. The glare of courts and the blandishment of the great seem to have turned his head, and unless the people call him down, he will put a strain upon our institutions which may in the end count against liberty and law." Asked what he thought of the president's refusal to receive a delegation of Irish-Americans headed by Judge Cohalan, Mr. Watterson said the president is now playing for English court favors and cannot afford to mix in what he and the likes of him are wont to call "low Irish." WILSON ORDERS RETRIAL OF 19 NEGRO SOLDIERS WASHINGTON, March 18.—In announcing today that President Wilson had set aside court-martial sentences and ordered new trials in the cases of nineteen negro soldiers tried at Camp Crant, Ill., in connection with an attack upon a woman, Secretary Baker said the judge advocate general had found that undue haste in trying the men on the eve of their division's departure for France had deprived the accused of fundamental rights. Eight of the men were sentenced to death, five sentenced to life imprisonment, one found insane and five were acquitted. The facts in these cases were not touched upon by the reviewing authority. DISCRIMINATED AGAINST NEW BEDFORD, Mass.—At a national Association of Colored People meeting here Capt. J. O. Pryor, formerly of Sixth, Mass., and later the 372d regiment, stated that Negro soldiers were discriminated against in favor of white soldiers in many instances in France by American army officers. He told how Negro officers were relieved of their commands and replaced by "90-day professors and young West Pointers." It is not ours to build up for evil, but tear down for the good. PLURIBUS UNUM NA'S GREATEST W K, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MARCH 2 "NICKEL" LOAF MAY SOON RETURN, SAYS THE LATEST REPORT WASHINGTON, March 18.—The "nickel loaf" may soon return to the market basket of the housewife, food administration officials said today. They are working on a plan, said to be nearly ready for submission to Herbert Hoover and President Wilson to utilize the billion dollar wheat price guarantee fund for decreasing the price of flour to bread makers and allow the world shortage and the great need of wheat to keep up its price to $2.26 for the farmer. The tentative plan, according to officials, embrace the taking over of the flour supply of the country at a nominal profit to the millers and selling it to the public at a loss of $2 a barrel. They have no doubt that the foreign demand for wheat will be sufficient to keep the wheat price up to the government's guaranteed figure. Discharged Fighters Are Entitled to $60 WASHINGTON, March 18.—According to announcement made tonight by Secretary Daniels, every person in the military or naval service who has resigned or has been discharged or released from active duty under honorable conditions after April 6, 1917, or who thereafter resigns or is discharged from active duty, with certain exceptions which he specifies, is entitled to a gratuity of $60. The persons entitled to the gratuity are, briefly: Officers and enlisted men of the army, navy and marine corps, naval reservists, male and female persons in the service of the coast guard and lighthouse service who performed active duty with the navy. The exceptions are: Any person who did not report for active duty until after November 11, 1918; any person who has already received one month's pay on discharge from the army under act of May 18, 1917; any person who is entitled to retired pay. The heirs or legal representatives of a person who is entitled to this gratuity do not become entitled to it. It is provided as an aid to discharged men until they can get employment. This gratuity will be paid to the persons who are entitled to receive it on resignation, discharge or release from active duty by the supply officer who makes the final settlement of their accounts. If already separated from the service, members of the navy and naval reserve force will make claim upon the disbursing division, bureau of supplies and accounts, navy department, Washington, D. C. Members of the marine corps will make claim on the officer who settled their accounts, or, if this officer's whereabouts is unknown, or is paid off by a navy supply officer, claim will be forwarded to the paymaster, marine corps headquarters, Washington, D. C. Coast guard members will forward their claims to coast guard headquarters, Washington, D. C. All claims will be accompanied by a statement of service and the original certificate of discharge or orders to inactive duty. If the original discharge or orders are lost, it will be necessary to obtain not only a duplicate statement from the officer by whom final settlement of account was made that no gratuity was paid at discharge. No particular form of claim is required. A letter requesting the gratuity, stating the dates of enlistment and separation from the service, and the present address, with the original discharge or orders to inactivity duly attached, will be sufficient. Care must be taken to address such claims properly as shown above. We care not for knocking, but to teach knockers the importance to boost. MRS. PHOEBE GARDINER Mrs. Gardiner was educated in the schools of Macomb, Ill. After graduating from the High School, she completed the Kindergarten course of the Chicago Kindergarten Institute, which is connected with the University of Chicago. She substituted for two years in the different kindergarten of the city and had one year of social settlement work. She holds two Arizona state certificates. One a special for kindergarten work and the other for the regular course. Mrs. Gardiner is the first colored woman in the state to hold a first-grade cetificate. At present she is in charge of the Douglas School Kindergarten. President Urges Reprieve for Soldier MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 17. Based on urgent telegraphic requests from various citizens of Chicago, President Wilson today requested Governor Thomas E. Kilby, by letter, to grant a reprieve to Sergt-Edgar Caldwell, negro soldier, who was sentenced to be hanged at Anniston today for the murder of Cecil Linton, a conductor on an Anniston street car. The president requested "a brief reprieve" to permit "the attorney general, at my request, to examine the records in the case." Arrival of the president's request was preceded by an appeal on the part of Caldwell's attorneys to the state supreme court, which automatically granted him a reprieve, and the president was so informed. Sergeant Edgar Caldwell, negro soldier, who shot and killed Conductor Cecil Linton and seriously wounded Motorman Kelsie Morrison on an Oxford Lake car, December 15, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by the jury, which fixed his punishment at death. The shooting of the two street car men occurred on Constantine street, opposite the plant of the Ornamental Foundry company, and within a block or two of the home of the dead conductor. Caldwell is said to have insisted on riding well up toward the front of the car in the section set aside for the use of white passengers. The conductor forced him to the rear and in the fight which ensued Caldwell was ejected from the car by Linton. The motorman took a hand in the fight, and when the negro landed on the ground he is said to have drawn his pistol and opened fire. The defendant was brought before Judge Merrill Monday for sentence. He was represented during the trial by ex-State Senator Charles D. Kline and Judge Basil M. Allen of Birmingham. 376 Sets of Twins Born In Cleveland CLEVELAND—No quadruplets but six sets of triplets and 376 sets of twins were born in Cleveland during 1919, according to Health Officer Rockwood. It is better to be God's bad child than the devil's good child. Deal on the square—then have no fear—because God is near and will protect you there. EXCLUDED FROM JURY ON ACCOUNT OF HIS COLOR Texas Chaplain of Children's Home Is Charged with Crime Four Indictments Returned for Crimes the Mere Suspicion of Which Would Have Caused a Negro to Be Lynched. DALLAS, Texas, March 18. Charged with criminal assault on a young white girl, former inmate in a children's home of which he was chapain, the Rev. Francis C. Berry, past 60 years old, was on trial for his life today. At the opening of the trial the prosecution announced that they will ask the death penalty for Berry under the Texas laws providing hanging for crimes against women. "Father" Berry, who had held the chaplaincy of the home for many years, was under four indictments charging besides criminal assault, attempted assault, aggravated assault and contributing to delinquency of minors. Insanity was expected to be the plea of the defense. FORD PLANS NEW AUTO AT PRICES OF $250--$300 FORD PLANS NEW AUTO AT PRICES OF $250--$300 LOS ANGELES—Further details of Henry Ford's plan to build a new automobile at less cost to the purchaser than any automobile now extensively sold, were published today. The new car will be built at factories strategically placed for economic collection of raw material and distributionof the product, Mr. Ford said. The new model car will sell at from $250 to $300. His son, Edsel Ford, president of the Ford Motor company, will, it is said, join his father in the new enterprise. This, it is understood, would virtually mean the abandonment by the Fords of the present company in Detroit. The new machine was devised by Mr. Ford during his "rest period" here. 100 NEGRO SOLDIERS DECORATED BY FRENCH WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 17.—One hundred and twenty-four American negro soldiers have recently been decorated by the French authorities for "extraordinary heroism under fire." We may expect to hear Senator Vardaman rebuking the French government for fostering the ambitions of the negroes for social equality. COULD NOT KEEP IT SECRET LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Feb.—Two boys arrested for breaking into stores here turned out to be high school students, and on request of their parents their names were withheld from public. A short time ago this same thing happened to two colored boys whose parents pleaded for name to be kept from the public—but, alas, every paper in town ran their names under scare heads. Some police force this town has. NEGRO CHILDREN WIN WANAMAKER PRIZE PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 17.—The Negro childern of the city, along with the Italian, won the greatest number of John Wanamaker prizes for proficiency in art. The James Logan school, Nineteenth and Reed streets, of which Mr. Clarence White is principal, captured four prizes. The brain that directs is greater than the hand that performs. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year Place I JURY ON T OF HIS COLOR West Virginia Colored Man and Woman Enter Novel Plea CLARKSBURG, W. Va., March 18. Charging that Negroes are excluded from grand jury panels because of their race and color, John Epperson and Ethel Whitman, both colored, today entered pleas of abatement in the Harrison County court. The man was indicted for violation of the prohibition law and the woman for shooting another woman. They ask that the indictments be quashed, citing a recent Supreme Court decision in McDowell county in which it was held that indictments against negroes were invalid if discrimination as to color was shown in drawing the jury. KLU KLUX KLAN IN PENNSYLVANIA PITTSBURG, Pa.—Terror stricken Negroes are seeking escape from threatened violence from a gang signing itself the "Klu Klux Klan." Representative race people have taken the matter up with insurance companies, because property destruction has been threatened. This sign was placed on many churches and homes: The war is over. Negroes. Stay in your place. If you don't, we'll put you there. (Signed) KLU KLUX KLAN." All the signs are printed in red and black ink, and the threats stand out in bold letters. COLORED SOLDIER KILLS POLICEMAN BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 18.—A few nights ago Policemen W. D. Evans and A. W. Phillips were both shot and killed by Albert Brown, a Negro soldier, after the officers had without cause shot and killed his friend. The two soldiers were accosted by the officers while coming out of a lonely street, demanding to know of the contents of a suit case which the soldiers were carrying and the men in uniform being slow to reply the policemen opened fire on them, killing Brown, but not before they were mortally wounded, from which wounds they died a few hours later. The other man in uniform escaped. Indiscretion by officers in making or attempting to make arrests of Negro people, and especially soldiers, have already caused many of them their lives. Offeeers Evans and Phillips have long been on the force and their records in dealing with Negroes are not at all complimentary. They will soon learn down here that a very different kind of nigger must be dealt with and in a more civil manner, but perhaps too late. NEGRO SCHOOLS GET HUGE SUM LAKE CHARLES, La.—This city of 15,000 inhabitants has just set a new standard for the State in providing for the education of its colored population. It has voted a bond issue of $200,000, $150,000 of which is to be spent in building and equipping three brick schools for negroes. The vote was six to one in favor of the issue, and the property majority was even larger. Ample playgrounds are provided for; and Superintendent Yeager is planning to introduce industrial training as well.

ARIZONA FEDERATION OF COLORED MEN'S CLUBS among the colored citizens of Phoenix The above picture represents the zation, which did so much to aid theand the state. Mrs. Lynn Carter is patriotic spirit of this noble organ- government in its war work campaign president of this organization. Phoenix, the metropolis of Arizona, is a city of beautiful homes, magnificent churches and excellent schools. The colored population numbers about 1700 souls, men, women and children. Of the adults, ninety per cent are home owners. They pay taxes on $700,000 worth of property, operate 27 business enterprises and support a number of secret organizations. We have one physician, Dr. W. C. Huckett, a graduate of Meharry Medical College, of Tennessee, who enjoys a splendid practice. Occupation The majority of the colored people of Phoenix, although home owners, are day laborers and command good wage. The average weekly pay of this working class is over $7,000. The bulk of this money finds its way into the local banks, while a goodly portion is spent with Phoenix merchants. Nothing so impresses the visitor to this city, as the almost total absence of colored faces on the streets. This is due to the fact that the floating element among us forms a very small part of our population and the worthy citizens of the race, who are in the majority, are at work in their places of business or various employments and find no time to roam the streets. Education Our public school system is good and we have little cause for complaint along that line. We are blessed with a competent corps of instructors in the grammar school and kindergarten. Douglas school, under the capable, efficient management of Prof. P. Landry, the principal, has, with the assistance of his co-workers, Mesdames Emma L. Clayton, Anna Marooney, Miss Mabel Robinson and Mrs. Phoebe Gardner, who is in charge of the kindergarten, made a remarkable showing. Too much praise cannot be given this noble staff of educators, who are shaping the destinies of our children. A number of important changes have been made, for the betterment of general conditions at the schools and to advance the pupils, since the present principal took charge, about three years ago. There are 14 colored pupils in the Phoenix Union High school. They are not so well provided for as might be supposed and the less said about them and this institution, the better. We hope conditions will be changed so that we may write freely about our high school and its pupils. Churches Three leading churches are supported by the colored people here. The Second Baptist church, Rev. C. A. Gilmore, pastor; the C. M. E. church, Rev. A. C. Caldwell, pastor; the A. M. E. church, Rev. R. H Herring, pastor. These churches have large congregations and the pastors are well supported. There are several other churches among our people here and they [Name] J. A. GREEN President Phoenix Protective League Mr. Green is a man of pleasing per seem to be prosperous, among them are the Holiness church, Rev. Jackson, pastor; the Evangelist church, sometimes called the Brick Church, Rev. W. R. Burgess, pastor; and Grace Baptist, Rev. J. H. Jones, pastor. Lodges There are two Masonic lodges, one under the Colorado jurisdiction and the other under the Texas jurisdiction. Both have an excellent membership and are working together, peacefully and harmoniously. There is also an Odd Fellows lodge, Knights of Pythias, Knights of Tabor, Royal Arch, Consistency and a Temple of Shriners. The ladies have several organizations. O. E. S. Chapter, Daughters of Tabor, Court of Calanthe, Household of Ruth and others. Phoenix is truly a fraternal city. Protective League The Phoenix Protective League is the latest organization among the colored citizens of this community and bids fair to become the most important. It was organized last December and is growing rapidly. It has for its object the bringing together of the colored people on a common level for the good of all. J. A. Green is president of this organization and is working night and day to make it state wide in its scope. G. H. Haywood is the man in whose brain this noble idea was hatched. He hopes to see every colored person in the state be come identified with the League, select a REAL LEADER and in all matters pertaining to race betterment, combine their forces and march in one great phalanx to support the movement. Women's Federation The Arizona Federation of Colored Women's Clubs is another organization that is doing a great work in this state. This organization succeeded in keeping that obnoxious play, the Birth of a Nation, from showing in this city three years ago. On its return this year, the ladies got busy and succeeded in having the most objectionable features omitted. They took active part in all the Liberty Loan drives and other war work campaigns and are deserving of the highest commenda Ladies' Cluba A number of independent clubs have been organized among the ladies of Phoenix and they are doing some good work. Among these clubs are: The Coterie, Charity, Progressive Art, Dumbar Art and Literary, Self Improvement and the Young Matrons' Please club. Much of their efforts are devoted to charity work among the needy people of our race and the Self Improvement Art Club has inaugurated a campaign to raise funds for the erection of a home for neglected colored children and old ladies who are in destitute circumstances. Mrs. Geo sonality, firm, decisive and possesses great executive ability. He has been a resident of Phoenix for the past twenty years, is married and owns valuable property. He is considered a real diplomat in matters pertaining to politics and wields a great influence among the intelligent members of the race. Mr. Green is a college graduate and a man in whom the people place the utmost confidence. He has been chosen permanent chairman of the Protective League. SKITS OF SOLOMON A friend is a guy or gueyess who sticks by you summer and winter and isn't afraid to give you a lift if you need one. There are lots of people who call themselves your friends who haven't any idea whatsomever as to the meaning of the word. They smile at you and hand you their icy mitt and think they have paid the debt of W. Caldwell, 233 East Jefferson street, Phoenix, Ariz., is president of this latter organization and any philanthropist who happens to read this article may make his check payable to the Self Improvement Art Club and mail same to Mrs. Caldwell, who will see to it that the funds are properly applied and the donor so notified. Amusements An amusement resort of gigantic proportions is now under construction. Roy Lucas, one of our enterprising race men, is financing the proposition. He has named it Irvine Park and hopes to make his opening announcement about April 15. He plans to give us a real pleasure, picnic and amusement park. About $1,500 is being spent to make this one of the show places of Phoenix and Mr. Lucas said that should more money be necessary to bring it up to the high standard demanded by the elite of Phoenix, the money is available. We are therefore assured of a genuine, up-to-the-minute rest resort for the colored people of this community. Magnetic City Phoenix is undoubtedly the best city in the U. S. A. The writer has lived here for the past seven years and has no thought of leaving. We believe there is something magnetic about Arizona and Phoenix in particular, for the longer you stay here the better you like it. If you leave, its only a short time before you return, vowing "never again." Some of the best people in the world are residents of Phoenix. You don't have to hunt for them with field glasses either. They are numerous and everywhere present. The most friendly relations exist between the Caucasians and the Colorado people. Now and then an antagonistic individual bobs up, but the good so overwhelms the bad until you scarcely realize any evil has been done. Although we have a Republican governor, Arizona is a Democratic state. The city of Phoenix is under the commission form of government and the city manager is the ruling power. The Promised Land In conclusion let it be said: "The half has not been told." The name Arizona is synonymous to wealth and for one to tell of the great riches in this state, he must write a book. We have not touched on the cotton industry, the copper mines, large tracts of alfalfa, fine cattle, hogs and a thousand other things of more or less importance. If you would know the real joy of living in a land that abounds with figs, olives, peaches, apples, grapes, honey and all the good things that were promised the children of Israel if they obeyed God, you must come to Arizona. friendship, but they haven't. They haven't given you a thing but a shiver. No man can ever decide who his friends are until he needs them. Another thing, the friend isn't always the dude who makes you feel happy with yourself and starts you looking in the mirror to see if you aren't sprouting wings. The friend isn't backward in showing you where you can make improvements along your lines of personality and he is also the guy who doesn't finch when you tell him how he can improve his psychological architecture. The greatest proof of a friend is if he will lend you a dollar when you need it and the greatest proof of whether you are his friend or not is if you will pay him back friend dollar when you get it. Friends are generally as few as oranges on an Esquimaux farm, yet every man ought to have one or two to his credit. If a man hasn't got one single friend, he is in a hard way and needs lots of consolation. We Solicit Your Trade and by offering you the highest qi disc at right prices, believe we mo patronage.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Society and Local News Mrs. John H. Smith has been very ill the past three weeks suffering with pneumonia. At first, her case seemed hopeless, but now she is improving nicely. Her little daughter Jhomnie is very ill and needs close attention, which the mother's physical condition will not permit her to give. It has been very hard for this poor mother and child, as not a person has turned a hand to help them. Mrs. Smith is the wife of John H. Smith, who has been doing overseas duty. She is here among strangers and without proper means of support. The white ladies of the local Red Cross and two or three colored people have taken a hand in the matter and given her a little aid. Dr. Couch, the attending physician, says she will recover, but her little daughter needs careful attention. Mrs. Smith received a letter from her husband who is now at Fort Bliss, Texas, stating that he will be home soon. She will appreciate any favors that may be conferred up on her. A. C. Cuncil Laid to Rest The funeral of A. C. Council was held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the C. M. E. church. The Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor turned out in a body and had charge of the funeral. A large circle of friends came to view the remains and listen to the last sad rites. Many beautiful floral offerings were placed upon the casket and a large gathering of friends followed the remains to the cemetery. Rev. A. C. Caldwell, pastor of the C. M. E. church, read the obituary and delivered an address upon the life and death of this beloved Christian man. New Ad Man— The Tribune is pleased to announce the addition of a new ad man to our staff.

All members urged to attend. BISBEE (By Myrtle Threat) Mrs. H. A. Barclay is in our city from Laurens, S. C. She will make this city her home for a short period. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Washington gave a delightful entertainment in honor of Mrs. John White's birthday. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. A. Russell, Mr. and Mrs. John White, Mrs. Pinkey Rouse and Miss McHenry. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Jackson and Miss V. Mumford of Phoenix motored to our city and spent a pleasant week the guests of Mrs. William Jones. The Chinese have a novel way of propagating fish. The spawn is carefully collected from the surface of the water, and when a sufficient quantity has been obtained they take a number of hens' eggs, the contents of which have been carefully emptied through a small aperture, and refill the shells with spawns. The holes are sealed up and the eggs put under the broody hens. The hens are allowed to incubate the eggs for a certain number of days, when the eggs are again broken and their contents put into water that has been previously warmed by the sun. In a very short time the spawn hatches, and the young fry are then kept in pure fresh water until a sufficient size to be put into the ponds. At one time a considerable business was done in this style of spawn hatching. The ancient "dew ponds" of England have their modern counterparts on the rock of Gibraltar, where drinking water is obtained by the condensation of the abundant dew in especially prepared basins. The primitive process consists in making a hollow in the ground and filling the bottom with dry straw, over which is placed a layer of clay. On a clear night the clay cools very rapidly, and the dew is condensed inot water in the basin. The pond is improved by putting a layer of asphalt or Portland cement under the straw. At Gibraltar the present practice is to use wood instead of straw and sheet iron instead of clay. The origin of the boche is obscure. There used to be current in Paris and other large cities in France the phrase tete de boche, which signified the obstinate or hard-headed. In France the Germans have the reputation of being tetes dures, (hard heads) hence tetes de boche. To describe this quality they were called allemand boche, which became successively allemoche, alleboche, alboche and finally just boche. Whatever its origin it is used as a term of reproach. The Germans themselves take it very seriously. It is not ours to tear down, but to build up.

Fry. One year ago today, the Tribune came to Phoenix. It did not make a lot of noise, but came quietly, peacefully and in like manner has striven to make itself known so that it might proclaim news throughout the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof. Our first issue which came off the press March 22, 1918, (dated March 23) was read by 500 people. The issue today, our anniversary will go into the homes of 3000 people and be read by no less than 8000 citizens of this great commonwealth. We attribute our rapid growth to our unshaken faith and confidence in the colored people. We believe they wanted a real newspaper that was free from political bias, clean, conservative, reliable and that they would support such paper. In this we have not been mistaken and today we are pleased to say to the thousands of our patrons, thank you, we appreciate your support and shall endeavor to merit a continuance of your patronage. The editor is pleased to find a growing demand for the Tribune and nothing pleases me more than the promptitude with which renewals are made. When the editor was a canvassing salesman he used to test the merit of his goods by keeping track of the repeat orders he was able to take. If we could secure no repeat orders we knew at once our goods were worthless. I am delighted with the "repeat" orders for the Tribune and this fact makes me believe you like the way the Tribune is conducted. We like to show our appreciation in a tangible way and not by so many words, consequently we have decided to give back 75 cents to all subscribers as a token of our appreciation. Read our proposition on page 3 and take advantage of the opportunity. This offer is good only until April 1. COLORED WOMEN MAKE GOOD IN NEW FIELD OF LABOR The southern sun of Dixie still stretches its benignant light over the broad back and turbaned head of the colored woman working in the cotton-fields and plantation furrows. But the same sun, as the old globe rotates its regular way, shines on the colored woman north of the Mason and Dixon line, plying trades to which she has been newly admitted since the war. From the fields of the dusky mammie of legend won her way into the kitchen, the laundry and the backstairs of large establishments by way of mop and pail. Once emancipated, she donned the black dress and white apron of the maid and proved her adaptability in hotels and clubs, restaurants and homes. But she got little further. Prejudice kept her in inferior positions and though she felt that, given a chance, she could handle tasks requiring skill and intelligence, she could not get the chance. Then war came. Industry found itself depleted of men; found even white women and girls at a premium, and the inevitable happened. Industry must go on. Industry must have sufficient workers to make continuation possible, and anybody who could do the work, irrespective of race or color (barring, of course, aliens), was accepted. The colored woman had her chance and proved her ability. There is today scarcely a branch of work done by women in which the colored woman has not tried her hand. Furthermore, she is there to stay. A. Gallagher, director of the City Free Library, putting to Miss Mary E. Jackson, of the State National Y. W. C. A., New York, said he asked me two years ago about colorful I would have told you that they, as laundresses and cleaning women,anks and offices, and a few employed in concern. However, when I started to list the final, I found that they had entered nearly and some work where women had—perhaps in small numbers, but they them on power sewing machines making; we find them doing pressing and varying shops.

One and two colored girls on a knitting machine putting knots in the wire springs." Rachael S. Gallagher, director of the City Free Labor Exchange, Cleveland, writing to Miss Mary E. Jackson, of the industrial department of the National Y. W. C. A., New York, says: "If you had asked me two years ago about colored girls as wage-earners in Cleveland I would have told you that they could be found in house work, as laundresses and cleaning women; as maids, in a few cases in banks and offices, and a few employed by a cigar-box manufacturing concern. "Today, however, when I started to list the firms where they were employed, I found that they had entered nearly every field of women's work and some work where women had not previously been employed—perhaps in small numbers, but they have made an entrance. "We find them on power sewing machines making caps, waists, bags and mops; we find them doing pressing and various hand operations in these same shops. They are employed in knitting factories as winders and in a number of laundries on mangles of every type, and in sorting and marking. They are in paper-box factories doing both hand and machine work, in button factories on button machines, in packing houses packing meat, in railroad yards wiping and cleaning engines, and doing sorting in railway shops. They are found in cigar factories stripping and packing and in an electrical supply manufacturing plant doing hard work.

The government is using them in city and state departments of the civil service, and is increasing their numbers in federal service. As yet, however, few have entered clerical positions. But in the mechanical and skilled positions to which they have turned it is claimed they are making good in surprising fashion. Several employers say that they find them more efficient than white girls. This, they feel, is due to the fact that the colored girl is still held down by prejudice against her race, so that she is often obliged to take positions inferior to her mental capacity and ability. A white girl of her intelligence could command a better job, and for this reason the colored girl working at mechanical trades is often more intelligent than the white girl employed in the same job.

WINS FIGHT FOR FREEDOM OF BLACK MAN CONVICTED OF KILLING SHERIFF The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, makes the following statement regarding the final victory in a fight which lasted nearly a decade. Governor Richard I. Manning's parole granted in January "during good behavior" of Pink Franklin marks the final chapter in a fight begun nearly nine years ago by the National Association to secure the freedom of Franklin, a young Negro farmhand who was tried in South Carolina during the summer of 1910 for killing a white constable who broke into his cabin at 3 o'clock in the morning to arrest him for breaking an "agricul- THE PALACE tural contract." This case is of unusual interest as it was the first legal redress case undertaken by the association, then in its infancy. The following facts regarding the case are quoted from the first annual report of the association, published January 1, 1911: "Our legal redress work was inaugurated last summer by the presentation to Governor Martin F. Ansel of South Carolina of a petition for pardon from the death sentence of Pink Franklin, a plantation hand who had violated a so called 'agricultural contract' (these contracts constituting the peonage laws of most of the southern states), and who shot the constable sent to arrest him two months after the offense was committed. This constable, H. H. Valentine by name, broke into Franklin's cabin, at 3 o'clock in the morning, with a drawn pistol, without announcing that he was an officer of the law, and Franklin shot him in defense of his home. On January 6, 1911, Governor Ansel commuted Franklin's sentence to life imprisonment, but the association will not cease its efforts to free Franklin from prison." After saving Franklin's life the association continued its fight to secure his release from prison. In this it was aided by certain white citizens of South Carolina who did much in the latter stages of the long fight, but who desired to remain anonymous and asked that they be merely known as men who, "loving justice and having sympathy for the weak and lowly, interested themselves in the case." It was through the persistent efforts of these men that the final victory was won. After the commutation of Franklin's death sentence to life imprisonment the next successful step was the commutation of life sentence to 99 years on the Orangeburg county chain gang. The third and last step was Franklin's parole during good behavior which makes him practically a free man. Franklin's parole was the last official act of Richard I. Manning's second term as governor of South Carolina. LIBERIA AND AFRICAN DEMOCRACY Hampton, Va., Feb. 24.—That it is the duty of some Negro Americans to go to Africa and help build up a democracy in which there shall prevail international justice and goodwill was the vigorous plea recently made by the Rev. Dr. N. H. B. Cassell, president of the College of Liberia, West Africa, to the Hampton Institute student body. Dr. Cassell said: "God places a duty upon you Afro-Americans, to whom He has given these wonderful opportunities, to go go into Africa and build Africa up and establish there democracy in religion, in politics, in sociology, and prove Liberia to be the open door to democracy. This is the message which I bring to the Afro-Americans, and particularly to the younger Afro-Americans who are in school. "Afro-Americans are not really and truly awake to the fact that there is a point of contact between themselves and the Republic of Liberia; they have been disposed to dissociate themselves from the African problems. In the methods they have pursued for wealth they have begun to feel that the God in this world is the almighty dollar. Possibly they have believed that God is a God of force, just as the Germans did. There is only one thing that is going to last everlastingly and that is the good we do for men, the help we bestow upon men, the lifting up of men." President Cassell described the contributions which Africa has made to the literature of the world, to the arts and sciences, and to church history. He condemned most heartily the caricatures og Africa which have commonly appeared in geographies and histories. SILVER THREADS AMONG THE GOLD Darling, I am coming back, Silver threads among the black. Now that peace in Europe neares, I'll be home in seven years. I'll drop in on you some night With my whiskers long and white. Yes, the war is over, dear, And we're coming home, I hear. Home again with you once more— Say, by nineteen twenty-four. Once I thought by now I'd be Sailing back across the sea; Back to where you sit and pine, But I'm stuck here on the Rhine. You can hear the gang all curse, "War is hell, but peace is worse." When the next war comes around In the front rank I'll be found. I'll rush in again pell mell, Yes, I will—I will like hell. —WILLIAM H. JUDGE. Fourth Engineers, Fourth Division Army of Occupation, Dungeuheim Germany, Jan. 27, 1919. Butte address, 14 West Fremont st he who reads the signs of the times must realize that Africa, in the read-judgment now the world's great conference, is going to be assigned its proper place; that its people are no longer to be exploited; that international justice and good-will will be realized and exercised upon the same principles as personal justice. Africa is going to take her true place in the world's history. "Think of Liberia as being possibly the greatest pivot wheel around which is to be evolved that great republic in Africa; that Liberia, having been established on the West Coast of Africa through American philanthropy, which until now has endeavored to conduct a stable government, is going to be the gateway through which is to be established in Africa a great democracy. Liberia has stood on the West Coast of Africa for seventy years, contending with tremendous odds, while all of Africa has otherwise been divided among the European peoples, whose methods have not been such as would justify Christian peoples, who have exploited the land; who have been simply desirous of obtaining their wares—their silver, gold, diamonds and rubber; who have been indifferent to the souls of the men and women upon whom they have drawn; and who have been perfectly indifferent as to whether the people have been pagans or Mohammedans or Christians. ECOZU "Liberia stands for quite a different thing in Africa than the methods of the European people who have been colonizing in Africa. Liberia stands for republican ideas in Africa. Liberia stands for the establishment of the religion of Jesus Christ in Africa. Liberia stands for the adoption of a national idea and a national ideal. "Let us hope that Liberia shall be upheld; let us hope that Liberia shall be given a fair chance; let us hope that the pressure and the disadvantages which have been the experience of Liberia in the past years, are all going to pass away and that, as a nation, she shall be regarded, she shall be supported, she shall be upheld. "Let us hope that the principle for which the world has undergone a terrible holocause — the shedding of blood, the spending of billions of dollars—the result of which is going to be a readjustment in the code of morals of nations, that the international empact is going to be so complete that a small state like Liberia in Africa is no longer going to be menaced by ships of war in her harbor; that the principle of might over right is no longer to prevail, but that international justice and international play is going to be established."

JAMES LIVINGSTON ONLY COLORED VETERINARY IN ARIZONA L. L. 2011 THE MESA REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE The picture above is that of Dr. James Livingston (colored), veterinary surgeon and dentist of Mesa, Arizona, and this prize winner, Dick Dulan. This colt is a product of the Salt River Valley and has won the first prizes at the Arizona State Fair in Phoenix for four years, beginning 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917, as the best show and single harness stallion. His record on the Phoenix track at four years old was 2:22. Dr. Livingston has the distinction of being the only colored graduate veterinary surgeon in the state of Arizona. After serving thirteen years in the U. S. army, practicing his profession for Uncle Sam, he was honorably discharged at Fort Bayard, N. M., in 1890. He came to Arizona in 1892, located at Naco and was care taker of the Phelps-Dodge stock in their mines at Bisbee until mules were replaced by electricity. After roaming the then territory of Arizona for a short time, he settled in Mesa, nine years ago, where he now enjoys a good practice in the Salt River Valley. Aside from being the owner of the prize-winning Dick Dalian, Dr. Livingston is also breeder and owner of the best show and trotting horses in the Baby State. MESA, Ariz., March 21—The week of merriment and joy making in the Gem City closed with some startling events which always characterize attractions of this nature. Three of Mesa's prominent citizens had their autos stolen. One, a Studebaker, was recovered in Tucson, together with the culprits, who are now languishing in the county bastile at Phoenix. A Chevrolet was stolen from one Mesaite while in Phoenix, and it has not been recovered. Last, but not least, a Ford, was stolen and after driving the car about one mile east of the city, it was abandoned. The owner has recovered his Ford, all intact, save and except a gallon of gasoline which was consumed before the "Lizzie" was ditched. Spring is here and cotton and cantaloupe planting has begun. Mr. H. C. Scott, a recent arrival in Mesa, has accepted a position at the H. D. Evans schools, two miles south of town. Rev. J. M. Roberson left last Monday for Ajo. Messrs. Wilber and Willie Smith of Phoenix spent Sunday afternoon visiting their aunt, Mrs. Lou Wilson, on Palmer avenue. Mesa society will be honored with the presence of Miss Frances E. Alexander of Bisbee, who is expected to arrive in the city on the 23rd. She will be the house guest of Dr. and Mrs. James Livingston, 138 West Main street, and will remain indefinitely. MESA Mrs. Phana Tate Deas, owner of the Commercial Roaming House on East Main street, is in receipt of a letter from Jerry Duke, one of our gallant Arozina boys who is in France, stating that he met with a serious accident by having his feet shot off and that he had to be left in France, where he is now lying in a hospital. Mesaites will remember Jerry, who came here in the spring of 1917 and for a time was employed as porter at the Modern barber shop and later with Vance Brothers wholesale and retail bakery and grocery. Jerry made a number of friends during his residence in Mesa and they are sorry to know that a misfortune has befallen him. He was inducted into service in For Sale, BABY CHICKS Hatching every week.

You little realize, young man, what you are doing, when you imbibe that Mexican hair oil that has been making its rounds here lately. 70 per cent alcohol and 1 3-4 grains of opium to each ounce, more worse than drinking Peruna, Wine of Cod Liver Oil, furniture polish or lemon extract. Jamaica Ginger, properly diluted, is fairly good, but that Hair Oil—oh!

L. Daniels Mesa, Gem City of the Salt River valley, in the heart of the agricultural district and the geographical centre of the state, is reached by the Southern Pacific and Arizona Eastern Railroads and by several stage lines. One of these stage lines is known as the Apache Trail, a highway for auto stages from Phoenix to Globe passing the great Roosevelt dam. The inquiry is constantly being made as to what is the chief product of the Salt River Valley, in which Mesa is the industrial centre. The answer to this query is: alfalfa and long staple cotton. Alfalfa is one of the most important crops. It yields five to six cuttings of hay, or if desired, produces profitable crops of seeds and affords two or three months pasture for stock. During the past season, alfalfa sold for $15 to $20 a ton and the cost of production was from $3 to $5 per ton. An even larger profit is being realized by farmers who are feeding their alfalfa to live-stock, such as hogs, dairy cows, etc. reap a rich harvest of dollars. Cotton Raising Next in importance is the production of long staple cotton. During the season just closed, cotton raising almost jumped to first place. The highest grade cotton grown in the Salt River valley is of the Pima variety. It is used principally to make auto tires, being best adapted for the manufacture of this commodity. Last year there were 2500 acres planted in Long Staple cotton, while this year the average will exceed 3,500. As stated, the Pima variety of the Egyptian or Arizona long staple cotton is the best grade and commands the highest price of any in the state. The following figures show the actual cost per acre of producing this cotton: Cultivating to time of picking.....$15.00 Seed ..... 2.00 Picking at 3½c per lb..... 65.50 Ginning ..... 16.00 Total cost per acre ..... 98.50 The average yield during 1918 was one bale per acre and sold for 59c per pound. Grain Grain production in the Salt River Valley has been a decided success. The varieties raised, are mostly bar- ley, wheat and oats and some milo maize. The wheat is used locally.

First Street and Washington Phones 3545—3591 Saturday, March 22, 1919 planting milo maize or corn the same season the grain is harvested. This system has enabled the farmers to reap a rich harvest of dollars. Melons Cantaloupes and water melons are grown in large quantities and shipped all over the country. These products bring good prices. From $5 to $7 a crate is paid and they equal in flavor the famous Rocky Ford melons. The melon crop in this valley last year averaged from $150 to $175 per acre to the farmers. The land in many sections of this valley is well adapted to cantaloupe and melon growing. Other crops that prove very successful in this valley are beans, peas and an endless variety of other vegetables. Choice fruits, such as oranges, grape fruit, lemons, citrons, dates pears, figs, peaches, peaches, apricots and other varieties, grow in profusion. Poultry and Stock Raising Stock raising is carried on here on a very large scale. Over 50,000 head of beef cattle were shipped to market from this section. There is now over 12,000 head of dairy stock in the valley and butterfat is bringing a good price at our local creameries. Hogs may be raised in this valley with less danger of disease than elsewhere. The dry atmosphere, warm sun shiny days is the best destroyer of disease known to stock raisers. Thousands of hogs are in this valley. On one farm alone there are 7,000 hogs and 3,00 brood sows. As for poultry, it seems almost as easy to raise turkeys here as it is to raise chickens. Both turkeys and chickens are raised in this valley and on a very large scale. Geese and ducks also are raised in this section and many are the fortunes that have been made on a small poultry farm. Eggs bring a good price the year round and there is always a market for young and old chickens. How Much to Start? Many people imagine that it requires a fortune to buy a farm in Arizona or even rent one. The amount necessary to begin an independent existence upon an Arizona ranch depends a good deal upon the individual. His ability as a farmer and the amount he can cultivate properly.

Grocery Melons THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING with. There are men here in the valley, who own their farms and are in good circumstances who began with practically nothing, but I would not advise any one to attempt such feat in the Salt River valley now. You must either have money or mighty good backing in order to make a successful start in Arizona. Land Values Improved ranch lands can be bought for $125 to $500 per acre. It all depends on the location and distance from the city. A ranch of say, 20 to 40 acres, with house and other improvements, will cost from $5,000 to $8,000. A man to start on 20 acres should have at least $2,500. This money would be divided as follow: one-half payment on the 20 acres at $175 per acre, $1,750; team, $300; cow, $100; tools, $100. Total, $2,250. What Two Men Did What Two Men Did In 1908 Joe Williams and J. J. Harrington purchased a 10-acre vineyard just one block from the Mesa city limits, for $220 per acre. Today, this same vineyard cannot be bought for $500 per acre. This tract proved to be very productive. In fact the finest grapes in the Salt River valley were gathered from this acreage. They were placed on exhibit in the Chamber of Commerce at Phoenix in 1917. A year later, or in 1918, the vines were cleared away and the ground planted in long staple cotton. Owing to the presence of grape roots in the ground which prevented a regular stand of cotton, the yield was only about one-fourth. It is the belief of the owners that the yield this year will exceed a bale to the acre, as the soil is very rich. They also have ample water for irrigation, being under the Roosevelt project. The Gem City Mesa has a modern school system. Four grammar schools with fine buildings and an efficient staff of teachers; a high school with a faculty teaching the various courses of art and commerce, music and science. The colored children of Mesa are blessed with a privilege that is denied our children in other sections of the state. Thanks to the god Christian gentlemen on the school board, and the excellent citizenship of Mesa as a whole, we have no separate schools for colored children. We are all Americans here in Mesa, and one hundred per cent at that. As a colored citizen of Mesa who has the welfare of the race at heart, I hope and pray that we will always have this ideal school system in the great city of the great state of Arizona. Colored Population In regard to the colored population of Mesa, will say that in January, 1917, only three colored families resided here and but one of these families owned their home. Today there are over 15 families living here and two-thirds of this number own their homes. These people have also erected a missionary Baptist church with all indebtedness paid; have paid $150 on the lot which cost $300 and paid out this year over $20 0for pastor's salary; donated to Home and Foreign missions; helped the poor and have a good Sunday school with a competent staff of officers and large attendance. Quite a neat little sum has been spent by the Sunday school for periodicals and other class literature. Taken all in all Mesa is the one bright spot in Arizona where prosperity and opportunity abound. ARE YOUR WAGES GUARANTEED Laboring men and women, insure your time against sickness and accident with the National Casualty Company of Detroit, Mich. 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 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.

THE PLAIN TRUTH Somehow or another we have heard more about the high cost and poor quality of children's clothing this year than ever before. Time was when a good pair of children's shoes would last through the better part of a school year. We know well nigh distracted mothers who are this winter trying to make a $3.50 pair of children's shoes last from one pay day to the next. We know how some mothers have worried to keep a pair of 45 cent stockings patched and darned to last from Sunday school to the next Saturday night. This statement is not overdrawn.

ALLYN LEWIS 119 N. Central Ave. Adams Hotel Building CUT THIS OUT, SIGN YOUR NAME AND MAIL IT TO President Wilson, Washington, D. C. While you, with representatives of other nations, are adjusting world problems at the Peace Table, we, as citizens and voters of this country, of which you are Chief Magistrate and Representative, beg to call your attention to certain facts, a just consideration of which will be for the health, welfare and peace of all races and nations represented. What is needed to make the world today safe for Democracy is More Love. The Golden Rule made practical. "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also unto them." There is now being organized in the Southern States a KU KLUX—to perpetrate atrocities upon the loyal Colored soldier when he returns from the battlefields—if he shows a disposition to expect any rights or privileges beyond what he had before going forth to fight for his country. We hereby beseed that you, with the help of an impartial God, take steps to prevent the execution of this cruel and unjust purpose. That which lies behind the tragic events which have made the world frown as well as weep, is the reaction of wrong. If more consideration were given to the supreme governing principle that men claim to believe in, "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men" would be an international reality. The prophecy of Isaiah would be fulfilled; the millennium would be ushered in. Self-righteousness, self-will, self-conceit and self-love have all been against spirituality, or right understanding of God or Good, whose attributes are Justice, Mercy, Peace, etc.; if these latter prevailed, the atrocities in the South would cease. Every hostile act is premiditated or actuated through fear, with no real offence as foundation. And the reaction that such brings in consonance with the act, is always unexplainable. The good traits of the Colored People are well known; they are kindly, loyal, trustworthy, docile and obedient. Although persecuted in this country to which they were brought, they are patriotic, always ready to serve. It was partly their brave deeds and the prayers of their loved ones at home that ended the most cruel war in the world's history. You know of the rewards offered by the Germans for the capture of every Colored soldier, because of his fearlessness and bravery, due to the high ideal that inspired him. They were not fighting for their country alone, but for their high ideal. The victory is won . . . but while these brave men were at the front, one hundred of their race were assaulted and slain in the most hideously cruel manner, in the South. And since you, on July 26, 1918, appealed to the country to suppress lynching, asking the governors of the States, and the people of every community to keep America's name without stain or reproach by putting an end to this most disgraceful evil, twenty-one Negroes have been lynched, four in Texas; the most atrocious ease, that of a Colored woman about to become a mother, is too horrible to have happened in a civilized country. It was just after this that the influenza epidemic broke out, proving more deadly than the war itself, and seemingly beyond the comprehension of medical science. But right thinkers have seen and can attest that it is only the reaction of evil and hostile thought. Some years ago our attention was called to the reaction of wrong by one who had for years watched its unfailing results, and since then we have observed and studied its disastrous reactions. Should such go on? All should remember Belgium. Cannot this country be aroused to end the wrongs, injustice and unfairness perpetrated against certain of its citizens because of race, class or color? The Colored man has fought bravely for his ideals, and although not a few Caucasians have mocked him for his willingness to respond to his country's call, he trusted his fate to principle, and has earned that which is now due him. We beseech you to let Right and Justice prevail, so that the mocker will cease his sneerings, the liar his assaults, and the slanderer from throwing stones at his upright neighbor. Thus the "Peace on Earth" will be universally established. Epidemics with inexplainable diagnosis will be forstalled. In explanation of the latter, I will quote from an article by a popular writer: “An influenza drive is only an evil influence with a medical label. When found out by science it changes its name, tries to prove an alibi or sugar-coat itself and appear innocent. As a last resort it tries to make itself popular, but it still remains a metal suggestion of fear. When this evil spreads itself it is called an epidemic, and seeks to have people accept it at its own valuation. Drives of hate are stopped by the presence of love. The delusive belief in a death angel is destroyed by the angel ci life and love. The world’s greatest need today is more Love. It is already here; it only needs more recognition and practice. A popular religious writer aptly says that “One infinite God, Good, unifies men and nations; constitutes the brotherhood of man; ends wars, fulfills the scriptures, ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’; annihilates pagan and Christian idoltry, whatever is wrong in social, civil, commercial, political and religious codes; equalizes the sexes, annuls the curse on man and leaves nothing that can sin, snffer, be punished or destroyed.

Yours for Peace, Love and Ch Address By Archie Lewis Born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith Friday, March 14, a nine pound boy. Mother and son doing nicely. The father—well, he may recover, but will never look the same. Mr. J. H. Carter of Jerome is a re- cent arrival in Ray. He is a con- tractor and builder. Mr. Carter is busily engaged in erecting a pool hall for Frank Smith and has contracted to build several houses. Sunny Side will shine as a real city now that so much building is in progress. Mesdames Mayme Henderson and Archie Lewis visited Sonora town last Saturday and did some shopping. Frank Smith is in receipt of a letter from A. D. Selders, a former Rayite, who is now with the army of occupation on the Rhine. He states that he is well and will be leaving soon for the good old U. S. A. The Tribune reporter and family moved to Sunny Side last Monday. We have rented a cottage for a couple of weeks, while our new home is being constructed. Chief of police elect, Lonnie Harris, has served a warrant on "yours truly" charging us with having inserted slenderous matter in the Tribune about him. He says that he is going to bring us before the kangaroo court in the near future. Oh, boy! Let's settle this out of court. Lonnie. Mose Davis moved his other house to Sunnyside last Monday. It had been occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Barnell while their home was being erected. They are now comfortably domiciled in their new home. A FEW DAYS MORE UNTIL DRYNESS NEW YORK—Eighty-seven more shopping days until dryness. New York liquor clerks exhausted. Some stores cleaned out of bottled goods and patrons making human flasks of them selves. By Rev. Wm. Green. The reporter paid a visit to Columbus, N. M., last week to look over the field and see what the prospects were for the Rio Grande District Association. We are pleased to say the outlook is favorable. We visited the members of the 24th Infantry stationed at this place and Sgt. Signer Green made everything pleasant for us. He even turned over his room to the writer and in every way showed genuine hospitality. We are pleased to say that Sgt. Green is making good. All food supplies pass through his hands and we believe he is the right man in the right place. Talk about cooking, Mr. James Rhyme certainly knows all about that trade. We ate three "squares" every day while there, and believe us, James is "some" cook. This young man's mother has had thirty years' experience in the school room and is an accomplished woman. We found some very intelligent men in the 24th Inf., and the best of it is that many of them have not forgotten their Savior. Mr. Garwin, the world's traveler, can tell the story of a soldier's life in a very interesting manner. He is an experienced soldier and an upright Christian gentleman. He spared no pains to make our stay in Columbus a pleasant one. We addressed the people of the city Thursday night at the Y. M. C. A., and a large crowd was present. Rev. Thomas is chaplain of the 24th infantry and a good, moral man. Mr. W. Davis is a prosperous young man of Columbus. He owns some valuable property and certainly knows how to entertain strangers. Mr. Davis and Mrs. Henderson are looking forward to the last Sunday in April, when great things will be done at the church. The pastor, Rev. Green, does not sit around and wait for things to turn up, he gets out and turns up something. If you want a church, get out of town and make one. Then you won't kick so much. The THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few. Mrs. Jeffie Price is expecting Sgt. Price home soon. The people of Columbus, N. M., are desirous of having us pay them a visit at least once a month. Lampasas, Tex. By Peariea Spriggs Sunday was a very nice day in Lampasas and everybody seemed to be out enjoying themselves. We have had some bad spring weather in this section. It has been raining and very cold and the sand storms have been fierce. All one can hear now is oil, oil, oil Somewhere and some place, we will probably strike oil. The people here are expecting it any time. Mrs. W. W. Doolittle invited a number of friends to a birthday party given in honor of Mr. Doolittle's 35th birthday. All kinds of good things to eat were spread before the guests and turkey was the piece de resistance. It was quite a treat to Mr. D. as well as a pleasant surprise. Well, such occasions may come as often as they wish. We can stand them. Among those present were Rev. Braun and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Spriggs, Mr. D. Boyce. All present had an enjoyable time. Mrs. Denner Cotton is reported on the sick list. We hope for her a speedy recovery. NOGALES By Mrs. Z. H. Lockett A very interesting lecture was given by Prince U. Kaba Rega at the Y. M. C. A. during the course of which he treated largely upon the past privileges and present opportunities of the colored race. Prince Rega is a linguist and orator of no mean ability. An accident which might have resulted fatally occurred in Co. K. 25th infantry on last Sunday shortly after 2 P. M. A detachment of the company was preparing for guard mount, when one of the privates unintentionally loaded his gun with ball ammunition, as is customary, and it was accidentally discharged, wounding Private Willie Powell in his left leg. First aid was promptly given by Dr. Kellan, Sergeants Cross and Williams. The man was sent to the hospital immediately. Any person desirous of subscribing for this paper will please call at the Dispensary Regimental Infirmary 25th infantry. WINSLOW (By Mrs. C. E. Bloice) Mr. R. W. Strode was absent from the city a few days last week on business. Rev. Lewis of Flagstaff was in the city last Wednesday. He preached a splendid sermon and succeeded in organizing a Sunday school, which will be a great benefit to the people of this community. The officers elected were, Miss Cleo Wilson, Supt., Mrs. B. Simpson, Treasurer, Mrs. Norman, Teacher, Mrs. R. W. Strode, Secretary, Mr. P. Simpson, Asst. Supt. Rev. Lewis will pastor the church here and has agreed to preach to us every second and fourth Sundays. Mr. C. Williams has resumed his position with the ice company. Mr. T. R. Simpson, who made a trip to Los Angeles recently, has purchased a beautiful home in the coast city. He is now in Winslow and reports a pleasant trip. In honor of their second anniversary Mr. and Mrs. McCool gave a delightful entertainment at their home last week. Dainty refreshments were served and the McCools were recipients of many beautiful presents. The guest list included Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Strode, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Simpson, Mrs. Robt. Lewis, Mrs. T. R. Simpson, Mrs. Geo. Hartman, Misses Cleo and Willie Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Bloice, Mr. T. H. Creel, Mr. C. L. Boarwright, Mr. Burdhardt, Mrs. Mulan, little Irene, Rena and Olive Lewis, June Bloice and Master Carl Bloice, Jr. The evening was spent at cards and dancing and at a late hour the guests departed, declaring Mr. and Mrs. McCool charming entertainers and wishing them many happy anniversaries. Mrs. A. Lucas has been suffering with a sore foot, caused by spilling hot water upon it. She is much better now. Mrs. Ed Simpson entertained Sunday at 6 o'clock dinner. Her guests were Mr. C. Maynard, Mr. T. H. Creek and Mr. C. H. Boatwright. Mesdames Wilhight, Strode and Yeager, Messrs. L. Jones and A. Lucas are on the stck list this week. A ETTER FROM A WINSLOW BOY WHO IS NOW IN FRANCE Dear Pal: This is to let you know that I am still existing, also to let you know I received your letters and papers, which I am very glad to get. As you know, I am always glad to hear from you. I expected to be on my way to the States by this time, but have been disapointed, so now I am not expecting to be home until I get there. I hope I will get to come over on the boat with Charlie. We have had a little cold spell and some snow, but it has gone and the rain has come back. You have heard about Norway, with her six months day and six months night; well this country has six months rain and six months snow. There is absolutely no danger of getting dust in your eyes here. You wanted to know if I was in the trenches; yes, I was in the trenches, but they were behind the lines. Our regiment did not get on the line, but we were under shell fire from early October to the end. We could hear the big guns and at night could see the flash. Old Fritz would come over every clear night and divide his bombs among us. It is impossible for me to write all my experiences on paper, but you can bet that if they had voted for peace, I would have been the first voter. Regards to all, and hoping this will find you and wife O. K., I remain. Pvt. F B. J., 805 Pioneer Infantry, Co. L. via N. Y., A. E. F., France. Yuma-Somerton (By Mrs. E. E.

Barney Oldfield hasn't a look in with Mr. Baugh, when it comes to handling a car. Mr. Wm. Staten was also a visitor to the camp. Mrs. John Gordon is convalescing from a recent indisposition. Is it true that Mr. Stafford's car had to be towed in? Mr. Will Jones of Maiden Lane has returned from Los Angeles. PRESGOTT By Mrs. Dora Rose Mrs. M. A.

Earl Turner writes: "Longway, France, Feb. 5, 1919. "Dear Mother; "I received your letter a few days ago and am very happy. I have not been writing to you as often as I should, but it takes so long for a letter to reach you, and, too, we have such poor light at night in the camp which I just left that I kept putting it off from day to day, thinking I would write while it was light. At last we are permitted to tell our whereabouts. We have been stationed at a place about three or four miles from Verdun, in No Man's Land. We have been living in a camp of our own construction, built of tin and covered with canvas. There are from four to eight men in each camp. It is a rule of the A. E.
