Colored People 95 Per Cent Honest Says White Merchant PHOENIX VOLUME XI. NO.16 PRESIDENT RECEIVES AFRICAN ENVOYS WHO PRESENT TOKENS (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—Wearing red velvet robes heavy with gold and silver trimmings and large silk turbans embroidered with pearls the special envoys of Abyssinia greeted President Wilson today and congratulated, him on the conclusion of peace. They then presented him with a large and varied collection of gifts of oriental magnificence. The members of the missions, comprising the Dedjazmatoo Nado, the Kantiba Gabron, and the Ato Herouy, with the Ato Sinkae, who served as secretary, were presented to the president at noon today by Breckenridge Long, third assistant secretary of state. As head of the mission the Dedjazmatch Nado addressed the president as follows: "Your excellency, we have the honor to be the first mission to America to present the congratulations of our country on your work with the allies for the successful termination of the war with Germany. "More than 5000 years have elapsed since the establishment of the Ethiopian government. In the time of David and Solomon this government was well known. The queen of Ethiopia, Macada, ruled over all Sheba at that time. "She heard of King Solomon and came to listen to his wisdom and see the country, and as she returned to her own dominion she proclaimed the religion of the living God. From that time until Constantine the Great, Ethiopia has believed in God according to the laws of the Old Testament. In the time of Constantine, Ethiopia became Christian according to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and since that time has fought her Christianity and Independence against the surrounding Mohammedans and heathens. "Undoubtedly, your excellency knows more about the history of our race and religion than I am able to tell. "All the people of Ethiopia, knowing that the United States of America after securely establishing her own independence has taken upon herself the wonderful duty of assisting the allies in gaining equal liberty and independence, rejoiced and praised the American people. "We hope that the friendship with the United States, begun during the reign of Emperor Menelik II., will continue and develop and that commerce will be renewed and increased as a result of that friendship. "This is the anxious desire of her majesty, our empress of the heir-apparent to the throne, and of all our people." They presented a number of gifts, including kisvs of ivory, gold boxes, and letters from the Abyssinian queen and heir apparent. President Wilson said in part: "It gives me great pleasure to welcome you as a special mission sent by the Abyssinian government to congratulate the United States on the victory won over Germany and to receive from you the letters of her imperial majesty, Zaoduitou, empress of Ethiopia and his imperial highness, Ras Tafferi, heir apparent to the throne of Ethiopia, presenting these congratulations and expressing the hope of closer relations between our countries in the future. "I thank her majesty for her sentiments of good will and I ask you to make known to her my sincere wishes for her personal welfare and the prosperity and happiness of your great country." FIT TO WIN! It took medical science thousands of years to learn that "the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me." It took the war of the rebellion to prove to a doubting world that a nation could not exist half slave and half free. It took the bloodiest and ghastliest war in history to prove might does not make right. When will America, our America, fit herself to be called "the glorious democracy of the west" by giving to all her citizens, regardless of race or creed or color, equality before the law and participation in the government of the commonwealth? Pure Water Will Add More Business To This Community That a sufficient supply of pure fresh water will be a wonderful asset to the city of Phoenix in obtaining new industries, is the opinion of City Manager Thompson. In commenting this week on the proposed new water system, upon which the taxpayers of the city will have an opportunity to place the stamp of their approval the 26th of this month, the city manager called attention to the fact that one of the reasons for the Goodyear people locating a gigantic factory in Los Angeles was that it was possible to secure an adequate supply of fresh water. At the time it was decided to locate the plant in Los Angeles, one of the heads of the company had the following to say anent the company's reasons for picking that city: "When we came to survey the coast, as we did for six weeks with skilled men, we found that Los Angeles gave us the cheapest fuel on the coast. We found that Los Angeles had the cheapest power on the Pacific coast where used in large quantities. We found that Los Angeles had the only supply of fresh water sufficient for our needs." The city manager is confident that if the matter is properly brought before the taxpayers of the city, the bonds will be approved by an overwhelming majority. The fact that it is impossible for a manufacturing plant to operate here without having its boilers overhauled or replaced every year is a serious handicap to the expansion of the city. He believes that with this deterrent influence alleviated, it will be but a question of a short time when industries will be turning their eyes towards Phoenix. In the question of the present expense to which the people of Phoenix are subjected in purchasing water softeners, the manager is of the opinion that not tons, but literally carloads of rainwater crystals and other softeners are used here each year. The actual cost to the people of Phoenix for these commodities can be reckoned in thousands. Officials who are interested in seeing Phoenix going ahead and being prepared in case outside industries do turn their eyes to Phoenix, are of the opinion that if the cost of water softeners, the annual plumbers' bills, the excess fire insurance premiums, and the cost of maintaining an out-grown waterworks were added together, together with the cost of the city's constant fight to keep its water mains in repair, the total would far exceed any taxpayer's share of the interest on the bonds. The pamphlet which has been issued by the city commission for the edification of the taxpayers regarding the proposed new water system has widely circulated about the city. The pamphlets are not for the use of the taxpayers only, but anyone interested may secure a copy by calling at the city hall. TO IMPROVE HEALTH CONDITIONS FOR BLACKS (By Associated Negro Press) CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 21.—A movement for intensive health activity among Cincinnati's Negro population was launched at a special meeting of the Board of Health, attended by Mayor Galvin and some of Cincinnati's leading business men, physicians and social workers. "The local situation has been made acute," Dr. Peters said, "on account of abnormal migration during the war." Dr. Peters said, further: "We feel that a community health center downtown will help. Under one roof, among other things, we should like to see these various activities—a tuberculosis clinic and dispensary, an obstetric clinic, a dental clinic, a division on child hygiene, general medical and surgical clinics, a narcotic relief station to take care of the problem of the drug addict, a bureau of public health nursing, and a social service department." He announced that the Oral Hygiene society had given assurance that the dental clinic would be established. The establishment of the entire system would cost approximately $17,500 a year. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY LACK OF EDUCATION IS CAUSE FOR MANY CRIMES IN THE SOUTH DES MOINES, Ia., July 22.—"No Negro with a high school or college education has ever been lynched in this country or accused of the heinous crimes which are cited as excuse for lynchings," said Laurence C. Jones, a Negro graduate of the University of Iowa and principal of Piney Woods school at Braxton, Miss., who spoke at Grace Methodist church yesterday. "The Negro's education is neglected in the south because he has no vote. School officials know that the less they do for the Negro the better they will stand with the mass of their white constituents. "Recognition extended the Negroes by white people of the South during the war against Germany has been largely withdrawn since the war end. The paper controlled by former Senator Vardaman has attacked white candidates for office who had attended Negro gatherings from patriotic motives. "The Negro does not seek, social equality with the whites. That is a bugbear of southern politicians. He does want a fair chance economically and in an educational way, and the better white people of the south would like him to have it. But the white masses still hold that the Negro's highest duty is to get off the sidewalk when he meets them. "As a goup of the American people 12,000,000 strong, and loyal to the nation in its time of war, the Negroes deserve to be fairly dealt with. Mr. Jones said the Piney Woods school, which he started eight years ago, has 1,334 acres of land and teaches a dozen or more trades to 300 Negroes, who work half time. SYNDICATE TO CREATE CIRCUIT OF THEATERES FOR COLORED PEOPLE SYNDICATE TO CREATE CIRCUIT OF THEATERES FOR COLORED PEOPLE (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y., July 21.-The formation of a circuit of theaters exclusively for Negroes was announced here today. The syndicate, headed by E. G. Brown of Philadelphia, has leased a house in New York and is building one in Philadelphia, it was stated. It intends ultimately, the announcement said, to operate theaters in Chicago, Washington, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Richmond, Norfolk, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cleveland and other large cities of the North and South. It also is planned to organize a school of dramatic art in New York for young Negro men and women, as well as a booking office. Time to Cut Out the Sob Stuff Says Writer Time to Cut Out the Sob Stuff Says Writer (By J. E. Jones) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Now that Germany has signed up and the President has broken away from Paris, isn't it high time to cut out a good deal of this over-indulgence of fear concerning unemployment, the high cost of living, Bolshevism, I. W. W.s, and other terrors that try to camouflage their lawlessness—and make this business of reconstruction hum? There is no minimizing the worth of achievements in our national affairs, and those of the world; but the human mind cannot forever dwell upon the tragedies that cost ten million lives in battle, thirty million injured, and thousands made blind or insane—and others made poor, and some made rich. How about Tomorrow, as well as Yesterday? Indudstrial facts are worthy of, and must be considered: There are practically no business failures occurring in this country; the bank clearings are running about 17 per cent over last year's highest totals. Even if prices are high, the cost of labor and the prices of food-stuffs furnish a firm foundation for the condition. Cotton is no longer in the dumps, and it, like wool, is in the active class. Steel slumped and suffered a real bump after the war, but the human members of that industry, PHOENIX, ARIZONA, JULY 26, 1919 GEORGIA'S GOVERNOR CLOUDBURST AT GLOBE SPEAKS TO 10,000 TAKES AWAY ST. JOHN COLORED PYTHIANS BAPTIST CHURCH On Sunday, July 13, my wife and I went over" to Globe to church, and, after hearing a wonderful sermon preached by the pastor, Rev. Young, I had the pleasure of presenting to the people the Phoenix Tribune and asking that they subscribe for it because the representative, Mrs. Young, the wife of the pastor, was out of the city. I didnt know that it would be the last time that the Tribune would be presented to the people in this historic old building that had housed the St. John Baptist church so long. After services, the men remained (saints and sinners) and made up a purse and requested that I take it and purchase a suitable present to give to Rev. Young in appreciation of his three years of service as the pastor of St. John's church. As the Women's Home Mission meet every Monday evening at the church, why, Mrs. Watkins and myself went over to Globe from Miami about 4 or 4:30 p. m. Mrs. Watkins going to the home of a friend about three-quarters of a mile from the church; together, they were to go to the church. I went directly to a jewelry store, where I made the selection and secured the gift. When I went in the store the sun was shining, but when I came out it was raining and the lightning was flashing. Having spent six years of my life on the sea, where the storm rages, I can truthfully say I have seen the wonders of the heavens. I have heard great claps of thunder and have seen great streaks of lightning, but I have never seen the lightning play its limber game before as it went zig-zagging across the hills in Globe on Monday, July 14, 1919. I decided to wait until the rain had slackened, and then go after Mrs. Walkins and return back to Miami. Within thirty minutes the rain was practically over, but the water was rushing like mad down Broad street (Main street) two feet deep. I seared a high-powered service car, but could go no further. The driver took me along the streets and I saw the water sweeping through the various stores. The clerks were being carried out of the postoffice; the telegraph office was a sight—it was wrecked. I climbed a high hill and I saw water leaping and rushing, seemingly as high as I was tall. I saw the electric wires snapping like threads; I saw great streaks of lightning—the forky kind—yes. God's searchlight—here and there—everywhere—as if in search of some hidden object. Wet—but I, decided to see this storm through. I saw water sweeping through houses, rushing in and out of windows. I thought of the church. I looked, but I couldn't see it; but I saw a man rescuing his family, wading and carrying them to high places. The water was waist deep in his home. I saw houses going to pieces. I wanted to see the church. The Fall of Old St. John's After some hard climbing over hills, through water, over fences, I at last came within sight of the church. It seemed to be in trouble, and as I looked I could see the old building swaying to and fro, rocking; then she seemed to stand erect once more, but, alas! her foundation was sand, and there was no protecting wall, and the water carried away its foundation, and helpless—alone—she fell, and the parsonage adjoining fell, and both were smashed into kindling wood. The Loss All—Sunday school books, B. Y. P. U., Women's Home Mission, the song books, records, pews, etc—all were lost. The pastor's effects were lost, and he saved only what he had on his back. When I finally met him, he was smiling, and said to me: "It might have been worse, and, "Some day, these earthly things must pass." He didn't cry over the lost things, but went about assisting others to save as much as possible, and as I turned away he had a woman on his back, carrying her through the water to a place of safety. On my way I ran into Rev, Solly—he, too, was doing his best. He placed his church (the A. M. E.) at the Baptists' disposal. God bless him! On Wednesday night, July 16, there was a union meeting at the A. M. E., (By Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga., July 21.—Governor Hugh Dorsey addressed an assembly of 10,000 Negroes last night at the Auditorium-Armory, when the opening session of the 30th annual convention of the Knights of Pythias and the courts of Calanthe were held. There were 800 grand representatives of the Knights of Pythias and 575 representatives of the courts of Calanthe present, besides many visitors and almost a complete assemblage of the local membership of the two organizations. "The Negroes of George have just cause to be proud of their race," said Governor Dorsey. "They have proven themselves loyal and they, too, gave their every effort to bringing the war to a successful close, and those members of the Race who went to France added a dignity to their names which the years cannot erase." Major Key also addressed the convention outlining the accomplishments of the Race, and pointed out the great possibilities of the future if the Negroes of Georgia develop themselves along the proper lines. A mammoth parade was staged in the downtown streets. There were 25,000 participants, which made it one of the largest events of its kind ever seen in Atlanta. The aggregated wealth of the lodge is $1,571,000 and in the state of Georgia it has 50,000 male members and 28,000 women members. Since the United States declared war they have purchased $250,000 worth of Liberty bonds and invested $150,000 in War Savings stamps. including the "men on the job," ought to be able to take protracted vacations for a time, as the result of their era of prosperity. The railroads are lagging in making the purchase of steel, and the director-general is following the footpaths of his predecessor in having arranged for two-thirds of a billion dollars from Uncle Sam to take up a deficit, or shack, of a year's operations, and to provide for essentials in betterments and replacements of the properties. But some day this muddlesome muddle occasioned by government operation will end; and it will be a gala day for the nation when the private owners of railroads resume charge and restore decrepit roadbeds and rolling stock, and get the great steel highways back to normal condition. But while the railroads are down in low speed, the atuomobile business is on high, and the steel men are finding pretty good output for their goods in that direction. Even house building is on the gain, and unemployment is not half as serious as some agencies would have one believe. Our conditions contrasted with those that exist abroad should produce optimism of the keenest kind. Raw materials and machinery are lacking in the war zone and millions of men are idle in consequence, while the discontent that rages is causing further industrial stagnation because workmen are demanding new systems in industry that will furnish them a little taste of the democracy that they have been dying for. Ye gods! we are a lucky race, and our debts and debtors can be easily forgotten, for the United States is richer than it was before the war; its manhood and wbmanhood have been rejuvenated through the short season of struggles that they have endured. There are no longer British syndicates owning our flour mills, or German syndicates owning our breweries, or British and German syndicates financing our railroads, as in the olden days. Uncle Sam is now the chief banker of the world; and all the civilized nations take off their hats to us. It is time to feel a little cocky over our position in the affairs of the universe. Incidentally, every community that whoops it up in giving their returning soldiers a big welcome, and then goes on the way, battling for the peaceful conquests of the future and forgetting the sob-stuff, will make progress towards the realization of a world free for democracy's sake.

But it tastes bad. TRIBUNE (By, W, F, Watkins) Woman's Assaillant Slays Sheriff Who Attempts Capture (Special to the Tribune) TAMPA, Fla., July 22—B. C. Wilcox, a deputy sheriff, was shot and killed today near Clermont, 75 miles north of here, as he and Sheriff Smythe, of Lake county, exchanged shots with Luther Wilson, a white man, sought on a charge of attempted assault on a young white woman. Wilson was arrested several weeks ago and escaped. A reward of $150 was offered for his arrest. A posse of several hundred was formed and began searching for him. The young woman was related by marriage to Wilson. She asserted he had blacked his face to resemble a Negro, but that she recognized him. SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN (By Associated Negro Press) CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 22.—Something new under the sun has been found in North Carolina—a "Jim Crow" postoffice, where Negroes receive their mail from one pigeon hole, and the white people from another. One of Senator Simpson's constituents has sent him a picture showing the dividing line between the white and Colored races at Makatoka, the Jim Crow office. Makatoka is in Brunswick county, located in an isolated section, known as the Green Swamp section, in the heart of a primeval forest of juniper and cypress. IOWA MAY HAVE FIRE STATION CONTROLLED BY COLORED MEN (By Associated Negro Press) DES MONIES, Ia., July 22.—A petition for the erection of a new fire station to be officered and manned entirely by Negroes was presented to the City Council, Monday, by George H. Woodson, Negro attorney, of Buxton, Iowa. Woodson proposed to select the crew entirely from Negro officers and enlisted men who served in the war. (By Associated Negro Press) AUGUSTA, Ga., July 21. The Colored railroad men of the city have organized a local of the International Railroad Men's Benevolent Industrial Aid Association, the Augusta local being number 72. It has nearly 100 members, although only a month old. The International association has its headquarters in Chicago, and has branches in scores of the leading cities of the United States, north and south. Among the chief southern cities may be mentioned Savannah, Atlanta, Fitzgerald, Douglas, Waycross and Augusta, in Georgia; Charleston and Columbia, in South Carolina; Asheville and Wilmington, in North Carolina; Richmond, Va.; Beaumont, Texas; Lake Charles, La., and Montgomery, Ala. It is said that the total Colored men already enrolled in this body wil laggregate nearly 60,000. The Augusta local meets twice a month at the Dugas hall, on Gwinnett street. MUSKOGEE, Okla.—Clarence Williams restored his blighted love with hair tonic (name withheld). He thought the drink would kill him.

Throughout this state, wherever the Tribune goes, I pray that there will be a ready response to this appeal: "Am I my brother's keeper?" Now is the time to help this good man; let him stay to save souls. I plead to you in behalf of him and this church that you help—little or much, it will be accepted and appreciated. Later every name will be published, and I am not an authorized collector.

"It is the Negro who has made the furniture man of the south rich from his business. The whites have heed, but the tremendous business we have been enjoying recently has come in larger degree from the Color man." It was a furniture man from Lanta, Ga., who was doing the talking and his talk was most interesting an enlightening. "I think I may say that the Negro of the south has made more rap strides in recent years than the white man has. The reason is manifest. I had a longer distance to go and I is covering that distance very rapidly. He is taking advantage of the educational system and he is getting ahead in an economic way very rapidly. "You know it is characteristic the Negro that when he has money he likes to spend it and when he do spend it he usually wants something mighty good for it. As a result you may go into the homes of Negro in Atlanta and find the very choice furniture in them and usually a lot of it, perhaps it is more than a whit man would consider good taste. "It is very interesting to go in some of these homes. I have been many of them and never cease to marvel at them. Many of the homes are very small and so far as the house itself is concerned, is not at all pertinent. I've been into homes of more than three rooms and found one a $90 range and a bed room suit that cost $300 or $400. In another room would be a mighty fine living room suite along with a $500 plaid and a $200 Victrola. I have even been into the homes of single men living in one room and found it beautiful furnished with a fine Victrola. I asked one old fellow why all the furniture, since he was there only long enough to sleep, and his reply was that sometimes he had friends call him wanted his home to look nice. "The Negroes are making me money than they ever did before. Some of them own farms and raid tremendous crops on them and a kind of crop in the last few years has been worth real money. This they are putting into their homes we largely and since the advent of publication the money has gone into the homes more than ever. "I'll just give an example of the trade we have with the Negroes. While back I was credit man for a job concern doing a heavy installment business. We did perhaps $350 worth in one year and from 75 to per cent of the accounts we had we with Negroes. Now a few of them like a few white men, did not pay regularly, but I'll venture to say that better than 95 per cent of them came very regularly, and paid something their accounts. Sometimes they cannot meet what they had agreed to per weekly, for the Negro will promise most anything, but they would come in with something and keep it up till the furniture was paid for. Now that is a pretty good record." "The one thing the Negro has contend with more than anything else is his gullibility. Some of your nor-erners come down there with all so of fake schemes and prey upon the A favorite trick is to come down with a lot of fifty cent jewelry, mark $4.98, take one dollar down and a rest in installments. Now, if it never get any more than the initial payment, they clean up 100 per c profit. After they have been there, while they will sell their accounts some jeweler, make a nice clean and get away. This sort of thing the bane of the Negro's life and keep him back, but in spite of it, they go ahead faster, I think, than a whites and it is to them that we do the tremendous business we are hing now."

CHURCH, CONSULTING ENGINEER, NEW YORK, TO PHOENIX CITY COMMISSION, FEBRUARY 16, 1916 LONGITUDINAL SECTION PARALLEL TO RIVER VERDE RIVER Approved by the Commission of the City of Phoenix, this 26th day of June 1919. CROSS-SECTION AT A-A INTAKE GALLERY FOR ```markdown ``` Here is a graphic but simple drawing of the intake of the proposed Verde river gravity water supply for the city of Phoenix. It should be studied carefully by every qualified voter who will be called upon to pass on a bond issue for construction at an election to be held July 26, 1919. The picture requires but little explanation, technical details being avoided that it may be easily understood. Though not drawn to scale, it approximates it, some things being purposely left indefinite. For instance, the collecting wells indicated which will be in any number required from a probable ten to a possible unlimited number, it is expected will be 80 feet deep—the deeper the better, for the inflow to the conduit will be artesian and the greater the depth the greater the infiltration. The lower picture is the cross section A. A, which forms the top to the letter T, of which the conduit is the stem, in the top picture. In the mind, fasten the bottom picture at right angles in the notch AA in the top picture. Then note that it is 1200 feet from the 42-inch conduit to the end of the cross section where the big river is indicated by the little pool. That is the gravel bar through which this unlimited water supply percolates be- OTHER VICTORY FOR BOYD FACTION Ee Court Decisions in Four Years Take Jones People National Bap- ist Convention—Judge Cherry. Special Chanoeoy Judge De- cides Case. ASHVILLE, Tennessee—In a decision ded down by Judge W. C. Cherry the chancery court Thursday, R. H. Hed and his eight associate members the National Baptist Publishingard were victorious in the suit eight four years ago by Wm. Hay, S. P. Harris, E. M. Lawrence and or followers of the Morris facton the National Baptist convention. The Judge, in rendering his decl, declared that the incorporated ard consisting of R. H. "Boyd, C. Clark, J. L. Harding, G. B. Tay, J. C. Fields, J. A. Brown, L. L. lapbell, J. P. Robinson and H. A. are the legal and rightful Naval Baptist Publishing Board. In decision the Jones faction claims her sweeping victory; it makes third one in four years that they be scored over the Morris people, of these won in Chicago and this last one here at Nashville. The litigation arose over the right to elect members of the incorporate Board. The Convention split in Chicago over a charter, which was secured by seven men whom, it is claimed, were unauthorized by the Convention to charter the same. Since the separation at Chicago and since the majority of the Baptists remained with Edward P. Jones as the regular National Baptist Convention, according to the decision of the courts, there has been constant litigation over the property here, which is invoiced at over $350,000.00, which was built up by the venerable R. H. Boyd and his followers. They began here twenty-two years ago operating a plant to publish Sunday school literature and religious books with other denominational helps and supplies. For more than eighteen years the Convention stood together and most of them proclaimed Dr. Boyd's accomplishment as a herculean task, but it apears after the Chicago wrangle and the separation, that a supreme effort was made to destroy whatDr. Boyd had built up, an institution that gives employment to one hundred and fifty members of the fore reaching the wells or supply chambers through which it will rise into the conduit and flow by gravity to the city. To get another line on scale, note that at the intake (over the wells) the conduit it 28 feet below the surface. "As a counter-check I have estimated back from your proposed supply of 15,000,000 gallons per day and find that on the total catchment area of approximately 4000 square miles tributary to the in-take point it represents a unit receives some n this is not per me to be a fact sub-surface flow subject to neit tions. "More specifically, the basis of my estimate of an adequate supply is the fact that your single test well, about ten feet square, and penetrating into but not through the water stratum above mentioned, supplied a 6-inch centrifugal pump having a measured discharge of 1400 gallons per minute for a period of several weeks continuously. At this rate of pumping it was impossible to lower the water level and the test was discontinued. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING "A third governing consideration is the available quantity. In this respect the Verde rates with or above the other two rivers named (Hassayampa and Agua Fria,) although exact comparisons are not possible nor indeed necessary. The fact remains that your test-well, drained by a 6-inch centrifugal pump, together with various borings, has demonstrated a widely extended water-bearing stratum with an under-flow far in excess of your maximum requirements. Negro race and that furnished the denomination with all of its literature and churches of various denominations with such supplies as they need. Judge Cherry is quoted in his decision as saying that this incorporate Board is the original board and has a right to elect its members as provided by the charter. The rendering of this decision brings to an end for the time being a litigation that has stirred Baptist circles from center to circumference. Thousands of Baptists, white and black, have stood and waited in breathless silence and with impatience for the outcome, and the venerable Dr. Boyd, an ex-slave who is entering his seventy-sixth birthday and who came out of the dark days of slavery, has fought with grim determination to sustain every principle of Baptist freedom. It is not known what effect this decision will have on the Morris people, or whether they will appeal, but the concensus of opinion now is that the court's action removes all doubt as to the real National Baptist Publishing Board. There was no jubilation or celebrating in the Boyd and Jones faction, as they were very calm and were almost non-committal. "As a counter-check I have estimated back from your proposed supply of 15,000,000 gallons per day and find that on the total catchment area of approximately 4000 square miles tributary to the in-take point it represents a unit flow of only .006 cubic feet per second per square mile. The lowest recorded minimum in the semiarid countries is usually .15 square feet per square mile. You will see therefore that your proposed draft is almost negligibly small when related to the catchment area which will supply it. "Since you will draw from ground water and from a constant flow far in excess of hourly consumption, no impounding reservoirs will be required. This will prevent not only extraneous contamination, but the steady, although slow, concentration of soluble impurities by evaporation. "Both the Hassayampa and the Agua Fria projects are necessarily based/on the impounding of the surface flow of these streams in a collection reservoir. The Hassayampa is subject to contamination from the sewage of the village of Wickenburg above the point of impoundment. The Agua Fria has some small communities on its upper waters and possibly Dr. Boyd said: "I have always believed that the courts would decide that we were right in our contention, as we have worked for the Baptists all these years for the sole purpose of building a Baptist plant for Baptist people." Dr. Clark, the chairman of the Board, who was at Columbia attending the Baptist State Convention, said over long distance: "I am sure that the Baptists in every part of the United States, like those of us in Tennessee, will breathe a sigh of relief and will now turn to more constructive work, hence the fight should cease." When the announcement was made at the Baptist State Convention at Columbia, a season of prayer was offered, and the National Baptist Publishing Board held special prayer services, giving thanks for another deliverance.—From the Nashville Globe. AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—Literature pouring in on members of Congress demonstrates the existence of a well organized movement among receives some mine wash, although this is not personally known to me to be a fact. At all events, the sub-surface flow of the Verde is subject to neither of these objections. "A final consideration is that of cost. In this respect it is obvious from inspection in conjunction with the distances, that the cost will be less on the Verde than that necessary to secure a corresponding supply from either of the two rivers. No data is available for an exact comparison, nor is this necessary since the selection is controlled finally by other considerations. "The above adds nothing new to your stock of information, but is inserted here principally as a matter of record for my own reference. "I would add that the city of Newton, Mass., where I resided for 25 years, is supplied from the under-flow of the Charles river in a manner exactly similar to your proposed development, except that the catchment area is in a densely populated district. It is notable for its purity both as relates to domestic and manufacturing use and has been a source of great satisfaction to the residents of that city for many years." the Colored people of the South to secure the ballot in the South and the application of the theory of "self-determination" to themselves. The movement is creating uneasiness among Southern senators and members of the House, who realize that participation in the war by the Colored men and the adoption of the suffrage amendment will make it more difficult than before to deny the ballot to the Colored element of the population. In addition to that, the 1920 census is coming, with its consequent reapportionment, and it is realized that the South may have to show why its representation should not be based on voting strength rather than on population, so far as representatives in Congress is concerned. The Negro propaganda is being worked through the various church organizations and the newspapers are giving it wide publicity. The claim is that since the principle of self-determination" has been adopted as the fundamental element of the peace treaty, they can see no reason why it should not apply in Alabama as well as in Czecho-Slovakia. They claim they bore their share in the fighting the city of and resided from the es river in ar to your except that a densely is notable relates to curing use. of great nts of that and should not be denied participation in affairs as a result. In addition to the letters which they are now pouring in on members of Congress, especially those from the North, they will, it is understood, petition the President for interference in their behalf in support of the theory of "self-determination" which he has advocated at Versailles and Paris. The situation is regarded as extremely embarrassing to the Southern members, who have first been compelled to accept woman suffrage, which they feared in its possible results on the ballot situation in the South, and are now being urged by the administration to support a peace treaty which the Colored people are using as their argument for the right to vote. (Springfield, Mass. Republican) It is to be deplored that eleven Americans have been murdered in Mexico within the past eighteen months, yet eight Negro citizens have been barbarously burned to death in the United States within the past six months. ```markdown ``` TIT FOR TAT Saturday, July 26, 1919 POULTRY RAISING By C. D. Bassett, Poultry Expert R. R. Box 182, Calexico, Calif. Where to Start In selecting a location for a poultry ranch, you are not obliged to choose high priced land. It is best to select land that has proper drainage and where plenty of water is obtainable. Well gravelled land with plenty of shade is desirable. This will make an ideal site for a poultry plant. It matter not whether you wish to begin on a small scale or large one, the same rule holds good in both cases. See to it that your poultry house fronts south, for in this way you get the sun in winter, which is so necessary for natural warmth and sanitation. This position will also shelter the front from the west and northwest winds. Avoid clay soil. If you have good meadow land it will be of great value, for you can grow clover, corn or other cereals. A poultry plant situated so as to grow an abundance of green feed will prove profitable. In selecting a hen house, I prefer the open front with wire screen and curtains. Let the house be well built with a good roof and sided on three sides. Do not place more than 50 hens in the same house, as too many birds will not do well together. Your house should have a scratching pen, plenty of boxes partly filled with charcoal, crushed stone, limestone or oyster shells preferably. The nests should be near the scratching pen. If your plan is for range and a single breed of poultry, you will not need wire fencing for all until you mate your breeders. If you live in the city with feed on hand, you are ready to start a poultry business by simply buying your flock of chickens. We shall deal at length on this phase of the poultry business in our next article. Children's Corner (Editors Note: We desire to interest the children as well as the grown folks, and this little Fairy Tale is published as a "feeler." If you like it, let us know, and we will continue it.) LUGI, THE HAPPY-HEARTED Once upon a time there lived on the banks of the Nile a very rich and mighty king. His kingdom stretched for miles and miles along the banks of this fertile river. This proud and haughty king was only happy when other people were made to feel the weight of his hand. He loved best to impose his ideas and his will upon others, and had already planned how his people should be ruled long after he himself should have passed away. Because of this great desire to keep others always under his mighty power the king could not know perfect happiness. But his eldest son, and therefore his heir, was very unlike the king, his father. This son's name was Lugi. Lugi spent all of his time trying to make other people happy and joyous and contented. Often when the king, his father, would call him into the council chamber and ask him for some new plan by which the people would be compelled to double the gold that was pouring into the king's treasury. Lugi would always plead that his father reduce the amount of taxes so that the people might have more with which to buy sweets and toys for their little girls and boys. Then the king would grow very angry and fall into, such a fit of rage that his wise men and all his attendants would run away and hide themselves for fear the king might wreak his vengeance upon them. When the king was in one of these rages he would vow to himself that Lugi should never come to the throne. As long as one of these terrible tantrums lasted no one would go near the king but his youngest son, who was the exact duplicate of his father and the only one whom his father wanted, as he was the only one who was in complete sympathy and understanding. His name was Donzetta. Donzetta was a wizened, wiry youth with the cunning and treacherous face of a monkey. Although just a youth of 16, he looked like an old man, and in spite of his youth the lines of wickedness in his face were very deep. The king loved Donzetta very much and wished that he had been his first-born, for Donzetta alone he considered fit to rule a subject people. NEAR RIOT IN DETROIT (By Associated Negro Press) DETROIT, Mich., July 22. A Racr iot was narrowly averted Sunday, through the arrest of Angelo Pinolina, 26 years old, an Italian.

Co., 25th Int., has just returned from Kentucky, where he spent thirty days visiting relatives and friends. Hurrah! Two hours of snappy drill and lots of bunk fatigue and it makes one think of the good old days in Hawaii or a prize drill at West Point. Now, that is more like it! Father Givins, Co. B, 25th Inf., is back from California, where he spent a month visiting friends and studying law. It looks good to see his smiling face around Camp Stevens D. Little again. Baseball is becoming the local past time with every organization in the regiment. If you pass the Rgtgs, Main street, you better have on your helmet, for you are liable to get "beamed." Looks like the early days at Marlin, Tex., when McGraw was giving everyone a try out. Cook Ward of the officers mess, has just returned from Columbus, O., where he spent the past thirty days visiting relatives and friends. It begins to look like those good old days in Schofield Barracks with Regt. Sup. Sgt. Kincaid, Reynolds and Knox around and about the supply house.

C., July 22.—While white young men over the state are displaying a reluctance to enter the National Guard under the present regulations which require a six-year term of enlistment, Negroes in some counties are making application for permission to organize. Only a few days ago, there came to the attorney general's office a letter with regard to the formation of a company of National Guard. The letter was turned over to the adjutant general's department. The letter is to the general effect that the writer has seen that several cities have been granted the privilege of forming a National Guard company and that such companies have been equipped with rifles and uniforms. The letter, continuing, says, "We have here in Bamberg county, 300 men fresh from the battlefield who have seen actual service and they are anxious to stay in practice. Now since you are granting them this privilege in other parts of the state, we are asking for the same privilege, as such an organization would prove beneficial to this part of the state." PARIS, France, July 21.—France, true to her tradition of equality, liberty and justice, has created a new sensation for the world. It may be a fad, or it may be the beginning of an epoch that will continue as long as time. The war gave to France a clear idea of what the Colored Peoples of the world have accomplished and having learned much of this, France is anxious to learn more. This, stated on very good authority, that, while the American whites are somewhat hesitant about adopting the new French craze, there is no disposition on their part to be out of step with the times and consequently they are gradually falling in line. An exhibition of Negro art—statues, busts and masks in sculptured wood has met with great success, not only with the critics, but also with purchasers. Some of these sculptures have been sold for more than 1,000L, and if artists unite in finding in these works all the seeds of the greatest art there is certainly in this fashion, sincere admiration. Next week a Negro fete will be held which will be the greatest sensation of the season. Negro music, Negro dances, Negro paintings, Negro poems, war having carried away the last remains of unjust civilization. WE SHOULD WORRY (By Associated Negro Press) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 22. Negroes of St. Petersburg were much excited last night when they saw a big steamer tie up at the A. C. L. pier and many thought that the boat had come to take them to Africa. A negro woman has been preaching here that July 28th, the white people were going to deport all the negroes, sending them back to Africa and many believed this. The arrival of the big steamer lent color to the report of the deportation and many were badly scared. There has been a lot of talk here of trouble coming and it was reported here that a crowd of men were coming from Largo to take a hand in things. Local police were put on the roads leading to the city to turn back the mob, but it did not appear.

So use your opportunity that what has come to you by sufferance, tolerance or industrial and economic necessity, may become guaranteed to you and yours by merit. Do your level best. Strive to excel. Promptness, thoroughness, honesty, reliability are demanded from all who would make good. Opportunities are here now and looming larger every day. May we use them wisely and realize our racial responsibility in doing so.—Ex.

Contact and co-operation with the better class of white people are necessary and desirable in the effort to get a better and more satisfactory understanding between the people of both races. Much of the trouble has been due to the lack of understanding: There can be no common ground of understanding without contact and co-operation. None but very little minds have any fears of efforts in this direction. These are days of big minds and big things.—A. N. P.

The Jews have been persecuted and maltreated in a manner worse than our lot in America, but instead of making them lose faith in themselyes, these brutal and inhuman acts have cemented them together with adamantine chains. Prejudice has been rife against them all over the world, and it exists very strongly against them in dear old U. S. A., but they are unmindful of these things and are manfully pressing the battle to the gate. They are racially self-conscious and it is a physical impossibility to halt the progress of any race thus constituted, alert, alive, and endowed with such innate and inherent characteristics. In the early days of their history, when held in strange hands, it was impossible to hold the Jews down and their pages of history are luminous with their ups and downs, rises and falls, defeats and successes, culminating in the greatest race of Biblical times. Today they are the financial and commercial giants of this country and if you doubt that they are a factor in this or any other community where large numbers of their race are engaged in business, let them observe one of their holidays and the business section of the city will assume a Sunday or holiday attire or aspect. They are thrifty, progressive, shrewd, sagacious, attending to their own business and letting others alone; being given less to racial prejudice than other groups of the Aryan race. It shows good wisdom and common sense to pursue the successful policy of others and truly we can learn some excellent lessons from the record and history of the Jews. Their death rate is very low, most of them, by rigidly observing the laws of health and hygiene, living to ripe ages. There is an utter absence of race suicide among them and to the Jewish mother child-bearing is a pleasure. They have multiplied in spite of all attempts to decimate and annihilate them in their entirety. It is a rare occurrence for a Jew to slay another Jew or any other human being. This does not mean that Jews have not been guilty of murder and convicted for said crimes, but the race is not blood-thirsty like other races, especially in this section of the moral vineyard. They believe in homes, neatly appointed and well regulated, and in giving their families all the comforts that go with a real home. They are not perfect by a long shot, neither are they infallible; but to employ an overworked army vernacular, "they know their stuff," and this very aptly expresses the situation in a nutshell. They stick to each other (teamwork, co-operation, unity of action and purpose) and what affects one Jew, despite his high or low station, affects the whole race. They are not "crabby," endeavoring to hold back members of their race possessing unusual ability along any line, but they are ever ready to line up their forces and push forward a member of their race. No wonder they are invulnerable to the attacks of race or religious prejudice. Instead of sitting around both day and night complaining about their condition and status, the Jews get busy and bring about better conditions. They are assets to their communities. See how they have succeeded in spite of efforts to hold them down and then learn a lesson therefrom and see the secret of their success.

Brown, Wilberforce, vice-president of the National Association of Colored Women. At the Thursday session Mrs. Susan Evans, Superior, Wis., spoke on club work among Negro women.

Bryan, Minneapolis; Mrs. L. M. Williams, Kalamazoo, Mich., and Rev. Benjamin Hodge, St. Paul. RECONSTRUCTION WAS KEYNOTE OF DISCOURSE AT FEDERATION MEET RECONSTRUCTION WAS KEYNOTE OF DISCOURSE AT FEDERATION MEET (By Associated Negro Press) BOSTON, Mass., July 21.-The League of Democracy, an organization founded for the purpose of "keeping alive the military spirit of the Negro Race, for agitation for military training in more Colored schools, for fighting for Colored officers for all armed forces of the republic, and making a determined and intelligent fight to have all achievements of Colored military men "given a just, fair and unprejudiced record in all histories used in the school of the republic," organized a branch in this city last night. Officers elected are former officers and men of Colored units which participated in the world war. Objects and purposes of the league, which is being organized in many cities, are set forth in a pamphlet sent out by the New York branch, the headquarters of the organization. While formed ostensibly to aid the former soldier, the league, according to its founders, will make itself active in all affairs affecting the welfare of Colored citizens. To quote the pamphlet, the league "stands unswervingly, unyieldingly and uncompromisingly for the right to vote, abolition of lynching, annulment of "Jimcrowism," economical opportunity, freedom from color discrimination, justice in the courts, industrial freedom and equal educational opportunity. Membership in the league will neither prevent nor embarrass membership in any national or local mixed white and Colored organization of veterans in the world war." The officers elected for the Boston branch are: Captain J. H. Pryor, formerly of Co. L, commander; Joseph H. Johnson, vice-commander; L. H. Hewett, finance officer; Edward Dugger, historian; Monroe C. Mason, adjutant. CHAMPAIGN, IL., July 21.—Lieut. Howard R.

(Special to the Tibune) NEW YORK, New York, July 21 —John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today sent the following telegram to Sidney J. Catts, governor of Florida, challenging him to take action in the case of an attack by a white man upon a colored young girl: "We are advised by officers of our Pensacola, Florida, branch that Miss Rosebud Spann, young colored woman, daughter of Mrs. J. T. Spann, widow, one of the leading colored families of Pensacola, was attacked July 9th and dragged from her buggy to the woods by a white brute; that two hundred and fifty dollars reward has been offered for arrest and conviction of the assailant by colored citizens of Pensacola. "National Association for Advancement of Colored People in name of its Florida branches asks your interest in enlisting help of local authorities for energetic and appropriate legal action in defense of this young woman's honor. From recent correspondence with which you have honored us we know that you will be glad to do everything in your power, in defense of womanhood." BLACK HAND LETTER DRIVES MAYOR FROM CITY (By Associated Negro Press) ANNISTON, Ala., July 22. — A black hand letter surmounted by a skull and cross-bones, usually used to spell death in all of its horrors, followed by an alleged assault against his person, by two unknown men, is given as the reason for the departure for the north of Newman O'Neal, mayor of Hobson City, the exclusive Negro town near Aniston. A few weeks ago, the Hobson City mayor is said to have received a warning that he would be killed unless he left these parts immediately. A short time after the receipt of the letter, the mayor claimed that he had been assaulted near his home, and announced to his friends that he intended to obey the warning in the letter. Accordingly, he gave up his position as head of the government at Hobson City and went north. Since his departure from this section no other of the officers of the town have been recipients of warnings or blackhand letters. M. E. CHURCH SOUTH PLANS TO.

BORAH REGARDS RACE QUESTEION AS NEMESIS OF OUR LIFE (By Associated Negro Press) MACON, Ga., July 21.—In his speech opposing taking the control of franchise from the states and placing it under federal supervision, Senator Borah had this to say on the Negro feature of the Susan B. Anthony amendment: To be entirely frank, I do not think we ought to force this situation. I believe that the wiser and the better solution of the race question runs along different lines. I certainly want to see the Negro secure justice, but I realize, and every sane man realizes, that you cannot force Colored rule upon the South. It will bring renewed racial warfare, which in the end will be vastly more injurious to the Colored Race than to the white race, and heaven knows it would be bad enough for either. I think it infinitely better that we leave the situation to be dealt with through the several states than to undertake to force a rule which is not acceptable. "I regard the Race question as the Nemesis of American life. I sympathize deeply with the people upon whom falls most heavily the burden of solving it. Sphinxlike, inscrutable, and intractable it intrudes itself at every national feast and jubilee. There is no phase of national life, no outlook but is colored by the sinister shadow of this problem. We of the North can afford to take counsel upon this matter. We can afford to listen to the requests of our Southern friends. We ourselves are not without faults. As I have just said, look at East St. Louis, within the grand old commonwealth whose soil holds the sacred ashes of the Emancipator, the man who gave the Negro his freedom. Talk about enfranchising 3,000,000 Negro women, of widening the political power of the Negro of the South, when we massacre him, shoot him down like a dog, burn him as we would inanimate rubbish, merely because he appears in our midst as a laborer. We will not even endure him as a competitor in the field of industry. Let us see if we cannot first do justice to this ward of ours, this Race among us by no volition of his own, this Race which sheds its blood for the republic when the republic is in peril. Let us, I say, first do justice to the Negro in the industrial world that he may educate and train his children for the duties of citizenship, then we shall be much nearer a final solution of the Race question." PATRIOTIC LEAGUE ORGANIZED AT IMPERIAL, CAL (By Associated Negro Press) IMPERIAL, Cal., July 21.—Negroes of this part of the valley yesterday organized a branch of the American Patriotic League. Temporary officers are Daniel Joseph, president; Rev. E. T. Hubbard of Los Angeles, secretary, and John Williams, treasurer. The creed of the league, as adopted by the parent organization in Los Angeles, is as follows: "We believe that the destiny of America lies with the soil, and that in the cultivation thereof American citizens should be given preference. We likewise believe that by mutually co-operating for the general welfare of the republic our national bulwarks will be preserved, and all forms of friction occasioned by creed, color or class will eventually disappear."

WHO AM I? I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world. I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest of siege guns. I steal in the United States alone $300,000,000 each year. I spare no one, and find my victims among the rich and the poor alike; the young and the old; the strong and the weak; widows and orphans know me. I massacre thousands upon thousands of wage earners in a year. I lurk in unseen places, and do most of my work silently. You are warned against me, but you heed not. I am relentless. I am everywhere; in the home, on the street, in the factory, at railroad crossings, and on the sea. I bring sickness, degradation and death, and yet few seek to avoid me. I destroy, crush and maim; I give nothing, but take all. I am your worst enemy. I AM CARELESSNESS. WHO AM I?
