An Advertisement in the Tribune is a Direct Personal Appeal to the Colored People PHOENIX VOLUME 11. NO. 12 Monday morning June 16, W. H. Williams, one of the enterprising colored men of this community, was sworn in as a full fledged peace officer and assigned to duty on the night force of the city police. He assumes the position made vacant by the resignation of police officer Alejo Valenzuela who has decided to engage in business for himself. The appointment of Williams to a position on the city police force establishes a precedent not only for this city, but the entire state of Arizona. Williams has been a resident of Arizona for nearly fifteen years, eleven years of which have been spent in Phoenix. He has been employed by the Ferguson—Keller Co., for the past two years and this Company sent a strong letter of recommendation to the city authorities urging his appointment. He also carried the endorsement of the Phoenix Protective League, which organization was the father of the movement to have a colored man placed on the police force. The Phoenix Protective League was organized last December, and has been working for the betterment of conditions among the colord people of the state. The appointment of Mr. Williams is, in a measure, a tribute to the members of this organization and the direct result of concerted action. Mr. G. H. Haywood, the man in whose brain the itea, plan, object and scope of the Phoenix Protective League originated, and who has stood at the helm and fought for recognition these past six months, deserves no small degree of praise. It is the consensus of opinion that Mr. Williams will be a credit to the police department and an honor to the race. The Protective League and colored citizens generally, desire to thank those in authority for this sign of recognition and trust this is the dawn of a "New Era" in Arizona when the colored citizens will be accorded full political, economic, educational and civil rights.

Regular services were conducted at the Baptist church last Sunday and the attendance was good. Rev. Jones delivered a masterful address, chosing as his subject the word: "Prayer". We were delighted to see the way our boys of the 10th cavalry hit the ball in the game last Sunday with the 19th infantry. The boys of the 10th proved themselves far superior to the 19th infantry, when it comes to playing ball. It was a game of hit and run for our boys from start to finish. We hope to have this aggregation with us again soon. Mrs. August and her two children left recently for a visit with their mother and grandmother in Lake Charles, La. We wish them a successful trip. Mrs. Jones, wife of Rev. Edw. Jones, pastor of the Baptist church, left last week for Fort Worth, Texas, to at ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY MADAM C.

The man who gathers pumpkins Is the man who plows all day. And the man who keeps a-humping Is the man who makes the pay. The man who advertises With short and sudden jerks, Is the man who blames the editor Because it never works. The man who gets the business Has a long and steady pull, And keeps his trade and paper From year to year quite full. He plans-his advertisements In a thoughtful, honest way, And keeps forever at it Until he makes it pay.

LOUIS AUG. 13TH By Associated Negro Press Tuskagee, Ala., June 18.—With the approach of the time for the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League which is to be held in St. Louis, Missouri, August 13, 14 and 15th, plans are shaping up very rapidly for the program, which as Emmett J. Scott, the secretary says will follow the general idea of re-construction. It is also significant that Mr William D'Arcy, President of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, has agreed to deliver an address during the League's meeting. Mr. D'Arcy is one of the foremost figures in the advertising world and his message will serve as an inspiration and an encouragement to the Leauge's delegates. Mr. Allen W. Clarke, Secretary of the National Clean-up and Paint-Up Bureau, who has cooperated with the League during the last three years in encouraging the Health Week Campaign, will also deliver one of the addresses. Mr. Clarke gave the three silver cups which were awarded in 1917 for the best Health Week Campaign, and he will present the cups this year himself. President A. E. Malone and Secretary H. A. Smith of the St. Louis Local Negro Business League report that they have never seen such a spirit of enthusiasm and cooperation as is manifested on the part of the St. Louis citizens over the approaching League's meeting. Mrs. Wm. T. Rainwater paid a visit to her husband in Phoenix last week. She returned to Yuma and has gone to the coast with her employers, Dr. and Mrs. Moony.

Gardner were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Hogan last Sunday. Mr. Rainwater came home all excited and was amazed at the progress the Hogans have made since they moved into their new home. His excitement was caused by a large number of chinens, eggs, and hogs that he saw, also the large field of alfalfa they are raising. The farm specimen that pleased Mr. Rainwater most was CHICKEN, for he has a "shade" on any preacher in the country when it comes to devouring that fowl. New subscribers to the Tribune this week are: Mesdames Mary Caruth Mamie Johnson, Lula Gauss and Mr William Hawkins. GLOBE~MIAMI By Rev. Wm. Young Mrs. Mary Johnson was called to the bedside of her sick mother in San Antonio, Tex. Mrs. G. W. Price of Miami passed through Globe last week en route to San Antonio, Texas. Mrs. Wm. Young, who is away on a visit, will spend part of her time in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, finally visiting California before she returns to Globe. Mrs. Young said that she was going to solicit subscriptions for the Tribune while traveling and try to place this paper in the hands of every intelligent colored person in the Southwest. We trust her efforts will be rewarded. The colored people of Globe should patronize Mrs. Mosely's restaurant, as it is the only restaurant for colored people in the city and the owner is a deserving widow. Mrs. S. M.

J., by the Negro Workers Advisory Committee of Cook County, Illinois: "We, the Negro Workers Advisory Committee of Cook County, request the American Federation of Labor in convention at Atlantic City, to urge the various international unions to strike out from their constitutions the articles barring Negro membership. We believe that these articles have constituted a serious obstacle in the Negro's industrial progress and have been a fruitful cause of misunderstanding between white and colored working men. (Signed) "WILLIS N. HUGGINS, "Chairman." The Negro Workers Advisory Committee of Cook County is an organization interested in improving the industrial conditions of the Negro workers in that community, and includes in its membership representatives of practically every Negro fraternal, welfare, church, business and labor organization. It also includes in its membership some representation of white employers and white labor. It is claimed by this organization that the Negro worker suffers a great hardship because he is shut out of most of the skilled trades. They claim the Negro is admitted only to the unskilled unions which are the least paid. The Negro Workers Advisory Committee is not necessarily urging Negroes to unionize, but it is demanding that the various international trades unions do away with such rules and regulations as by implication state that there is some difference between white and colored labor, and thereby set up a psychological barrier against the Negro's employment in the higher paid and skilled trades. for California on business. Mr. C. C. Stewart and Mrs. Priscilla Phelan were quietly married last Friday evening at the home of the bride on Cottonwood street. Now the ladies of Globe will know who's who.

Fort Huachuca By Florence Bradley STRENGTH OF UNITY The strength of unity is more powerful than the mighty guns. The success and advancement of the Race lies within the strength of its unity. There is no possible way for our race to advance if we think only of ourselves. We must live for the other fellow as well as for ourselves. Love your race and do your share, do the right thing and as a race we are bound to win Team work is the one vital organ of success. Take this terrible World War, for instance.

Redmond's Follies, a vaudelle show of El Paso, did not play at the Regimental Amusement Hall of the Famous Tenth Cavalry, which was to be held three successive nights, on account of an officer of the Tenth Cavalry, Lieut. Minnich announcing that the front row of seats was for white people. Had Lieut. Minnich announced that the front row was for officers, every enlisted man would have held his own. Before the opening of the show, Lieut. Minnich ordered Pvt. _____ to move back so the white people could sit there. Pvt. _____ resented and was ordered to the guard house and in return all troops who were in the show got up, walked out and asked for their money which was returned to them. Lieut. Minnich hails from Mississippi. (Note:) Ed. Redmond's Follies played 35 weeks in El Paso and 15 minutes in Fort Hauchuca, now present station of the Famous Thoroughbred Tenth Cavalry. That doesn't look much like Democracy, does it? ROBEURT WILLIAMS. rible monster known as Prussian Imperialism. We must not divide. In division there is ruin, but in union there is strength and power. I recall an incident that happened recently, where unity proved a success. There was an assembly of our people and others also, and every one paying the same admission fee. One of the men in charge being from the south did not feel that the others should be scattered throughout an audience of our people, but decided that he would seat them together, after making this decision, asked our people to give up their seats that the whites might be seated together. Our people resented the request, or rather the demand. Every one quietly arose and left the building, requesting that their money be refunded and also that the management be changed. Their money was refunded, the management has been changed. This is just one small example where unity was a success. We are not asking for social equality. All that we ask is an equal chance, but we must learn that in union there is strength and success. Mrs. Carrie Polk gave a private picnic in honor of Sgt. Maj. Frierson and quite a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. The Post dance was largely attended Thursday evening. The band rendered some excellent music. And everyone had a delightful time.

ARIZONA BAPTISTS BEING VISITED BY THEIR NEW DIRECTOR The Rev. Elbert Moore who was appointed director of the Negro work among the Baptist churches in Arizona by the Northern Baptist Convention which convened at Denver Colorado, a few days ago, arrived in the city on the 12th instant. His mission was to meet and get acquainted with the Baptist ministers in their meeting that was scheduled to take place in this city on the 11th of June at the Second Baptist church. The ministers failed to come as promised and Rev. J. B. Bell, Rev. S. E. Newell, Rev. J. Humphrey, Rev. A. C. Gilmore and Deacon Steve Howard, met at the church on the morning of the 12th and began their deliberations. The scripture lesson was read by Dr J. B. Bell and Rev. Humphrey Invocated Divine blessing upon the meeting. Rev. Moore was then introduced by Dr. Bell and he made known his business to the ministers. In the course of his remarks he stated that his business was not to interefere with any minister and his charge other than to help him and inquire into the coadition of the ministers and their churches. If he found that they need headquarters at New York. He also stated that he would hold Bible Institutes at the different churches over the state by request of the pastors and their churches. Dr. Bell gave him the names of all the pastors and their churches. Rev. Dr. Moore does not believe a pastor should be obliged to do laborious work. He said a minister should be paid sufficient salary so that he may give his entire time to the study of the bible. Dr. Moore is an able minister and instructor. His advice to the ministers was to organize a Convention instead of an Association. This he believed would prove more profit able and he suggested that this convention be organized at once.

Cleveland a beacon light radiating in all of its blinding rays the lie to the story that people of color cannot be given civic justice without anger to the general body politic. Cleveland enjoys more opportunities, in proportion to its size, in civic and industrial ways than other American city. The opportunities have come through high-mindedness of its citizens, merit and eternal vigilance, and one is the worse because of them. Our group, as well as the nation at large, is going through a short period of reconstruction. Regardless of a minimum of unsuant criticism, the National Association has demonstrated more intelligent action, more constructive vision and wisdom, is managed effectively, gets in hand more of the needed money, and spends or service better than any other organization extant.

The people South is obviously most undemocratic in policy—ensistence of class distinctions. There is in need for elements that create friction and distrust.

It is unfortunate even strange, that so many American white people are frightened, thrown in a freepy by the use of the term "social equality." Shrewd southern politicians, when all else has failed, know how create a furore of indignation; they describe the most impossible es of race relationship and the outcome. The politically deratic South is obviously most undemocratic in public—public sedly—ensistence of class distinctions. There is in their attitude allied for elements that create friction and distrust.

If he advertises in the Tribune, he solicits your trade and will treat you right. Keep this fact in mind.

Back to Fort Whipple— Mr. and Mrs. A. M. McElroy of Fort Whipple who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Denwoodie at 112 East Monroe street, returned to their home in the northern city last week.

He waxed eloquent during the course of his address, and was repeatedly interrupted with applause. Few of the members realized there was such oratorical ability lying dormant in our former secretary and the people were amazed, bewildered and delightfully surprised to find that we have right in our midst a man who is as fluent a speaker as one would care to hear. We predict for Mr. Simpson a bright future as a lecturer and sug- There will be regular services at the churches Sunday and you are invited to attend the church of your choice.

Street No. Name Town A CONSCIENCE STRICKEN SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN (By Associated Negro Press) CORDELE, Ga., June 18.—Not all of the scoldings of the Southern whites come from this side, and not all from the North. A news agency in Atlanta sent out a story to the papers of Georgia which made one of our women say: "If the Germans had won the war, our women would have been ladies instead of servants." Doubting that anyone except the writer said the thing, the Cordele Dispatch, white, says the "White man who paraded that used very poor judgment." Then the paper says: "The news item out of Atlanta can do nothing but imbitter those who are willing to pay it any attention. That is a thing no newspaper man ought to encourage. * * * Instead of stirring race hatred, those who write for the reading public ought to keep at heart a desire to help the best element of the Negroes keep down trouble. The Negro is far from the spirit intimidated in the words that were put in the woman's mouth. It is regretted that such a thing was ever written, and much more to be regretted that it was ever published. There is a small mean element of whites in the South that makes the Negro do and say things that are not only foreign to his thought, but likewise foreign to his being, and this is a notable instance where it was too much for one of the conscientious southerners.
