KING MEETS TRAGIC DEATH AT HANDS OF A WOMAN DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 23—Colonel W. E. King, editor and founder of The Dallas Express, the largest race publication in the southwest, was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon about 3:00 o'clock at 2811 Flora street. Mr. King lived only a few minutes after he was shot. He was shot in the upper right chest. Miss Hattie Q. Burleson, former personal secretary and boarding mistress of Mr. King, voluntarily surrendered immediately after the shooting and an affidavit charging her with murder was filed in Justice Barnett's court. Born in Mississippi. Mr. King was the son of Richard and Marguerite King. He was born in Macon, Miss., in 1866. He was educated in the schools of Macon. After completing his high school education, he taught school for a number of years in the public schools of Lauderdale and Jasper counties, where he enjoyed the distinction of standing the best examination of any teachers in these counties, white of black. Seeing the need of a newspaper to defend the rights of his down-trodden race, he began the publication of a paper known as "Fair Play," about 1885, which had a wide circulation and was successfully managed until forced to close his shop and leave the state on account of the position his paper took in defense of his race. ```markdown ``` He came of Dallas in 1891, and secured a position as managing editor of the Western Star, published by Rev. E. W. D. Isaacs. In 1892, he began the publication of the Dallas Bee; later the name was changed to The Dallas Express. He was editor-in-chief at the time of his death and by his uncompromising stand for justice and right the paper is considered one of the strongest publications in the Southwest. The deceased is survived by a brother, Jno. King of Greenville, Miss., who will come for the remains and make funeral arrangements. OPEN SEASON ON TEXAS EDITORS EL PASO, Tex., Aug. 26—C. H. Griffith, unconscious and bleeding about the head in several places, was found, according to police, lying in the back yard of a resort down the valley from here early today. Griffith is known as the publisher of a weekly publication called the Comet, which has been circulated on the streets here for several weeks, and in which several well-known persons, including city officials, have been attacked. Would Bar Colored Men From The Army (Special to the Tribune.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26.—Coming upon the heels of another bill that just had been introduced to prohibit the intermarriage of white and Colored, Representative Caraway of Davis, Tenn., introduced a bill to prohibit the enlistment of any member of the Negro race in the military or naval services of the United States of America, and directing the discharge of all members of the race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States. The southern members of congress seem to be running wild on the bases when it comes to introducing bills to curb the freedom of the Negro race. The affairs of the government are coming to a bad end when the money of honest taxpayers is used to support such narrow-minded statesmen as represent some sections of the south. To them the only way to gain a national reputation is by constantly hammering on the Negro. NEED MORE SCHOOLS. (Indianapolis, Ind., Times) The race riots have revealed the need of more schools like the Hampton and Tuskegee institutes. Prices Beginning To Fall Says Late Government Report (Special to the Tribune, WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Attorney General Palmer said today there was evidence that the government campa ign to reduce the cost of living alrea dy was bearing fruit. A prominent vegetable packer of Maryland wrote Mr. Palmer that prices in many lines were beginning to ease off, as it became evident that the department of justice meant business in announcing that criminal proceedings against hoarders and profiteers would be instituted wherever the laws were violated. "We want to make clear, however," the attorney general said, "that nothing we can do can change the immutable economic laws on which prices depend. If we can increase the supply by greater production and lessen demand by greater saving on the part of the people then the cost of living should come down. We can help that along by forcing hoarders to put on the market food held out for an advance in prices and further by holding up to public scorn or by prosecuting if congress gives us the criminal amendment to the food control law those who are guilty of trying to exact a greater profit than is reasonable and just. We are going to make the market—that is the law of supply and demand—operate normally instead of artificially." National Race Congress Now Ready For Action (Special to the Tribune) (Special to the Tribune.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25—The official call for the fourth annual session of the National Race Congress of America, to be called in this city October 7th, has been issued by the president, Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, and is being widely circulated through the press of the country. This congress is to be known as the "Suffrage Session," and the clans from every section of the land are getting ready to gather at the nation's capital to emphasize the importance of the ballot as a solvent for many of the ills that beset America's 12,000,000 Negro citizens. The call states the case with clearness and force and Dr. Jernagin and his co-workers are urging that large delegations be sent here from the various sections to consider ways and means for the betterment of the civic and economic status of our people. Able speakers will present the issues and the discussions will be broad and thorough, and the steps to be taken to crystalize thought into action will be prompt and vigorous. All phases of the intricate "race problem" will be treated. Hon. F. M. Hercules, secretary of the Society of the Peoples of Africa, with headquarters at London, England, has accepted an invitation to address the congress, and Congressman Matthew Agady, of Liberia, is also expected to speak. Invitations have been extended to the Hon. C. D. King, president of the Republic of Liberia; Hon. Blaise Diagne, a member of the House of Deputies of the Republic of France, who has had charge of the Colonial Troops, who fought so valiantly for liberty and democracy throughout the world war. M. Diagne presided over the deliberations of the recent Pan-African congress in Paris. The Abyssinian government has promised, through its envoys, to send a message of cheer. BIG MINING COMPANY ORGANIZED BY COLORED MEN IN TENNESSEE (By Associated Negro Press.) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 26.—Articles of incorporation were filed yesterday in the office of the circuit court clerk by the Chattanooga Coal and Manufacturing company, with a capital stock of $15,000. The incorporators are all well-known Colored men and are as follows: J. D. Fazald, E. P. Jones, Daniel R. Brown, Manson Flowers and S. A. Wheeler. It is stated in the application that the purpose of the new company is to mine coal and other minerals in Hamilton county, and to manufacture coke and its by-products. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY $1000 WILL BE PAID FOR A SINGLE WORD; CONTEST OPEN TO ALL World Trade Club Offers Prize For Best Name For "Brit-Ams." SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 14.—Can you create the one word which will best denote the United States and all parts of Britania? If so, you will be paid at the rate of $1,000 a word. The World Trade Club of San Francisco has offered $1,000 to the person who suggests the word which, in the judgment of the club's Metric Campaign committee, is best adapted to world-wide use. The competition is open to all humankind. The money will be paid to the winner at noon on the 15th day of May, 1920, by a committee appointed by President W. H. Hammer of the World Trade Club. "Brit-Am," "Ambria," "Ambritica," "Br-Am," "Sam-Bull," are some words thus far suggested. New names are constantly coming. The World Trade Club is offering this award because in carrying on its present campaign for the adoption of metric units by all English-speaking people—the United States, the British Isles, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, United South Africa, and so on—it was hampered by the lack of a single short word which would express all these. The metric units of weight and measure are now used by all the world except "Brit-Am" or "Ambritica" or "Sam-Bull." Texas Shows Lack Of Civilization AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 26.—J. R. Shillady, a white man, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was severely beaten and placed on board an outbound train for St. Louis recently. Shillady had been "inciting negroes against the whites," and had previously been warned to leave Austin, according to County Judge Dave J. Pickle of Travis county. The attack on Shillady, Judge Pickle said, was made by himself, Constable Charles Hamby and Ben Pierce, none of whom, he declared, would shirk responsibility in the matter. Judge Pickle emphasized the fact, however, that he and his companions were acting unofficially. No charges have been preferred against any of Shillady's assailants. Shillady was returning from a meeting with Negroes, Judge Pickle declared in describing the attack. "I told him (Shillady)," the judge said later, "that his actions were inciting the Negroes against the whites and would cause trouble, and warned him to leave town. I told him our Negroes would cause no trouble if left alone. I whipped him and ordered him to leave because I thought it was for the best interests of Austin and the state." QUACK "DOCTOR" RUNS AFOUL OF LAW (By Associated Negro Press.) BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 26.—Alleged to have been engaged in the practice of medicine in the city and counties in violation of the state law, George W. Johnson, Colored, 50 years old, proprietor of the G. W. Johnson Vegetable Compound company, was arrested at his home, 2006 Druid Hill avenue, yesterday by Headquarters Detectives R. E. Freeman and H. H. Hammersia, and after a hearing at the Northwestern police station, was held in bail for the action of the grand jury. According to the detectives, Johnson has conducted a widespread business in this state, having made periodical visits in his automobile to many towns, where he visited, "patients" and prescribed his remedies for treatment of diseases, including rheumatism, asthma, bronchitis, and other ailments. Although he was known to his "patients" as "Doctor," Johnson did not have the prefix printed on his advertising literature. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AUGUST 30, 1919 INTRODUCE BILL TO SEGREGATE RACES IN NATIONAL CAPITAL (By Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26.—A bill limiting certain sections of the city to Negroes and prohibiting them from living in other districts is now pending in the house. It was introduced by Thaddeus H. Caraway, representative from Arkansas, yesterday. This is the fourth bill framed by Caraway to effect a complete segregation of the Negro and white races. One bill would prohibit the intermarriage of the races in the District and another would prohibit enlistment of any Negro in military or naval service. This latter bill also would cause eevry Negro now in the service to be discharged. Another bill by Caraway would compel Negroes either to ride on different cars from whites or have reserved compartments. Would Pay Kaiser For Loss Thru Abdication BERLIN, Tuesday, Aug. 19.—A bill has been submitted to the Prussian cabinet which provides that 170,000-000 marks shall be given to former Emperor William as total settlement for the civil list he lost through "forced abdication," according to a Weimar dispatch in the Freiheit. The cabinet has not reached a decision. WHAT AN I. W. W. THINKS WILL STOP RACE RIOTS (By Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 26.—"There will be race riots in every city of the United States until the whites allow the Negroes to work alongside with them on terms of equality. It is, because the capitalists know they have 12,000,000 Negroes in this country to take the place of white workers who strike that they dare refuse to meet the demands of the workingmen." R. T. Sims, a Negro, member for thirty years of the Chicago Federation of Labor, and also a member of the I. W. W., made these statements at the I. W. W. hall, 119 S. Throop street, at the weekly meeting Sunday night. He was speaking on the "Race Question and Its Situation." Sims is employed in the city hall and is affiliated with the Municipal Janitors' union. He said a majority of Negroes employed in the stock yards do not want to join any union. In explanation he said the unions had once had an opportunity to capture all the Negroes employed in the yards. "But they failed," said Mr. Sims, "because they allowed race prejudice to stand in the way. Today the Negroes are thinking along more radical lines than the organized unions. Bolshevism is spreading among them. "They see that the American Federation of Labor, as run by Gompers, is simply a tool of the capitalists," he said. "I myself am a Bolshevist, if believing in the soviet form of government such as is now running Russia constitutes the making of a Bolshevist. And the business interests of the country are beginning to realize that there are millions of working men who believe as I do—in Bolshevist. And the business interests of the country are beginning to realize that there are millions of working men who believe as I do—in Bolshevism as a means of attaining our demands for a fair share of our labors." Following his address, Mr. Sims was loudly applauded. "Big Bill" Haywood, erstwhile leader of the I. W. W. and recently released from Leavenworth prison, was one of the first to reach the platform to congratulate "Fellow Worker" Sims on his speech. It is the North, infinitely more than the South, that has failed in a moderately and hopeful treatment of a problem that requires time and patience for its amelioration. The thoughtful North will confess it. Business Woman Buys $35,000 Office Bldg. In New York City (Special to the Tribune.) NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The outstanding big business deal of the week has been the purchase of a magnificent $35,000 office and apartment building at 118 West 130th street for the expansion of the Hair-Vim Chemical company, the home office of which is at Washington, D. C., and of which Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman is president and founder. Dr. Coleman is one of the race's leading commercial factors and through this nationally-known enterprise is opening avenues for lucrative employment for hundreds of the talented and energetic young men and women of the country. TEXAS BLACKS PRAY FOR SALVA TION OF WHITES (By Associated Negro Press.) AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 26.—Speaking at the meeting of the State Farmers' Institute this morning, J. E. Clayton, a Negro of a Manor, Travis county, who is a member of the field force of the Texas Department of Agriculture, gave assurance that there is no occasion for uneasiness among the white people of Texas of trouble by the Negro race. "There seems to be unrest over the state that the Colored people are going to give the white people trouble," said Clayton. "There is no foundation for this. I stand here and say for the 865,000 Negroes in Texas that they have no intention whatever of pulling away from the white people. They want your help and they want to help you. They are not going to be misled; they know who are their friends." Clayton told about the Negroes when they meet in convention of praying to the Lord to take care of the white people. "They know that the white folks have the money in the banks and if the Lord will take care of the white folks the Colored people know that they will get some of the white-folks money, because the white folks will always help the deserving Negro." SEGREGATION LAW TO BE RIGIDLY EN FORCED IN ARMY IT WOULD SEEM (By Associated Negro Press.) ALBANY, Ala., Aug. 26.—The persons responsible for placing Negro and white troops in the same unit abroad will be called to account by the war department and the Color line will be drawn in all cases in the army, according to information furnished Senator Bankhead by Peter Harris, adjutant general. The announcement followed a petition circulated here on July fourth and signed by several thousand Morgan county citizens requesting that COLORED MASONS OF TENNESSEE ENJOINED (By Associated Negro Press.) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 26—An injunction was ordered Thursday by Chancellor Garvin restraining Frank Jackson, Colored, from acting or assuming to act as grand master of the Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons of the state of Tennessee. The style of the bill under which the injunction was issued is the Grand Lodge of the Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons vs. F. A. Jackson, J. M. Arnold, et al., and the most worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of the Free, Accepted Ancient York Masons. A GREATER TEST. Since the Negro has had his liberties abused, his constitutional rights laughed at, his person insulted, it is a greater test to ask him to appeal to the law than it is to ask the same thing of the white rowdies who have been the aggressors in most of the recent race conflicts. The request must still be made, however, for when both sides descend alike to the brutal arguments of the mob the angels themselves might despair of bringing peace. NORTH HAS FAILED. New Mexico Senator Submits Questions To President Wilson (Special to the Tribune.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Senator Fall of New Mexico, Republican member of the foreign relations committee, at the conclusion of yesterday's White House conference, submitted to President Wilson twenty written questions relating to the peace treaty, which the president promised to answer. The questions concerned three subjects, chiefly the possibility of declaring the war at an end prior to ratification of the treaty, the disposition of the former German colonies, and the reason for appointment of American representatives created by the peace conference. The New Mexico senator first asked whether the president could not by proclamation declare the war at an end; whether congress—the power which declared war—acting with the approval of the president, could declare peace; whether merely by filing of the first process-verbal under the treaty the state of war was not terminated, and, if so, could not trade and governmental relations with Germany be resumed in full, and whether through filing of the first process-verbal and ratification by three of the principal powers, the state of war would be terminated for all nations concerned. The president was also asked to say to what nations or association of nations the German colonies were assigned under the treaty, and if the United States was recently of these territories. Reasons for the designation of American representatives on the Saar Basin, the Belgian German frontier and the upper Silesia plebiscite commission and for omission of the designation in part of the nations to have representatives on the Saar Basin and Polish Czecho-Slovakia boundary commission were asked. Georgia Colored Man Prize Winner In Nationwide Essay Contest (By Associated Negro Press.) ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 26.—Louis J. Harper, a young Atlanta Negro, has just been announced as the winner of third prize in a nation-wide essay contest on the subject, "Why We Should Have an American Language." The contest was conducted by the state library of Ohio, and was open to all accredited students of all universities, colleges and high schools throughout the country. Young Harper, who is just 20 years of age, was a member of the Students Army Training Corps of Atlanta university, and completed his sophomore year in 1919 with honors. In writing of Harper's success, J. H. Newman, state librarian of Ohio, said: "This young man has great promise for his race. Nothing can possibly contribute more to the uplift of the African than the education and careful training of such men as young Harper. "He is entitled to all the credit he receives, for the reason that no judge knew anything about the name of the individual writer until after the decision. Therefore, the elimination of all prejudice or partiality from the result." So widespread was the interest in this contest that Mr. Newman has decided to launch another contest, along these lines, some time during the coming fall, after all the schools are organized for their new year's work. WHITENING BLACK FACE The Negroes in the United States number 10,000,000 and each decade shows a normal increase. Counted with them are persons of mixed blood, and a gradually whitening black face is developing men and women indisposed to submit to discrimination. Slowly but steadily the Negroes are becoming educated, are acquiring property, are forcing their way upward. Largest Circulation of any Race Journal in the Southwest. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year WHITES TO BE TRIED FOR LYNCHING OF BLACKS IN TEXAS (Special to the Tribune) GILMER, Texas, Aug. 20.—The cases of A. B. Boyd and Tracy Flannigan, indicted for murder by the Upshur county grand jury Aug. 1 as the result of the lynching of Chilton Jennings in this city July 24, have been transferred for trial to Dallas county. The cases of Charlie Lansale, William Howell-and Tom Lay, indicted for the same crime, the latter being indicted Aug. 14, will be tried at Canton, Van Zandt county. A second indictment against William Howell was brought in accusing him with the killing of Dave Reynolds, who was run down by a man on a horse during the excitement. Tracy Flannigan lives in Longview and the other indicted men in Gilmer. All the indicted men are out on $10,000 bonds. The indictment of these men for murder in connection with the lynching of a Negro-accused of assault on a white woman is said to be the first indictments under similar circumstances of record in the South. In making his charge to the grand jury Judge Warren said in part: "You and I, now, gentlemen, are facing a test. I have a duty to perform, you have a duty to perform. The law provides certain machinery for the trial of cases and for the enforcement of the law. You are a part of that machinery, as much so as I am. In the case of any kind of a machine that is made for certain purpose, if one part of it does not properly function and will not operate it destroys the usefulness of the whole. It is the same way in this case. Have Duty to Perform. "In this case this unfortunate occurrence, this outrage upon law and order, occurred here, in the town of Gilmer when there were thousands of people upon the streets. As I said to you a while ago, I did everything that I could under the circumstances to prevent the tragedy. I talked to the people, gave them fair warning and urged them to let the law take its course. Now, those that saw fit to take the law in their own hands were violators of the law, and there is no excuse for this grand jury, if you find who they were, not to present them by proper indictments. "I say we all have our duty to perform. I expect to perform mine to the very letter, to do my duty in the matter, and if the parties who participated in this matter go unwhipped of justice it shall not be upon my conscience nor can it be laid at my door. "Our law provides that no man can be prosecuted in the state of Texas for a felony except upon an indictment duly presented by a grand jury that has been duly organized. You, gentlemen, have been organized as the grand jury of this county, and no party can be prosecuted in this court for a felony until you have indicted the party that is to be tried. "Now I want you, in a calm and dispassionate way, to use your calm and deliberate judgment. I don't want any man presented because of any prejudice, or on any mere rumor or suggestion that he had anything to do with that mob. I want you to have the evidence in the case before you present any man. I want you to find evidence that is reasonably sufficient to show any party you may indict to have been connected with the offense. You are not a trial court, however. When a man is indicted and tried before a petit jury, he is then confronted with the witnesses and has his counsel to represent him, and he is tried under the rules of law so far as the admission of testimony is concerned. You, however, are not hedged about with technicalities, and I want you to go right to the very meat of the matter and ascertain who it was that took part in that unfortunate and deplorable transaction. Will Not Tolerate Offense. "I want you, gentlemen, to investigate this matter thoroughly. You know as well as I that none of us has any sympathy whatever for a man—a brute—that will commit the offense of rape upon a white woman. We do not approve of murder, we do not approve of any offense that is made penal under criminal laws, but the law is made for the purpose of punishing the criminal, and when a man (Continued on Page 4) Arizona's Greatest Weekly Phoenix, Arizona Published Eve fy Saturday by the Tribune Publishing Company ‘Address all Communications to the PHOENIX TRIBUNE P. 0.

A LESSON FOR YOU ‘The following editorial from the North Carolina Observer con- tains a lesson that all should learn thoroughly, and we reproduce it here for the benefit of our readers. It is as follows: “Last week a death occurred in Durham that is worth a little study by the Colored people of North Carolina, He was John Mer- rick, a Negro sixty years old, and a man who had won success, not only as it is measured by figures on a bank ledger, but in that larger sense of being useful to the world in which he lived and to his fel- Jowmen, “John Merrick wemp to Durham a stranger from Sampson county when a young man, but died there one of the best known men in the city. He was industrious and frugal, two things worth emulating by any man, black or white. He worked and saved his money, and when he had a little accumulation he put it into productive property, also an example worth following. He joined with others in founding a hospital and a library and a bank and a fraternal association and in various ways, he worked for his own pré&perity and for the ad- vancement of his people. “But he did still more. Instead of oceupying his time bewailing any aetual, or supposed handicap that he encountered he devoted his energy to making the best of the wide opportunitiesthat this country gives all men, black or white, and he won out. “And that is the point that would be made from his example, Perhaps he fought in a narrower field than is the luck of most men. But, he showed that his field was broad enough for honest, indus- trious effort, and that a Negro can make substantial friends among his white acquaintances who will stand by him and help him along if he cares to show himself entitled to that kind of help. John Merrick had no monopoly of opportunity. The same world is open for any other Negro that was open for John Merrick, but he must avail him, self of it as Merrick did. It is the same world that is open to any other man. In Durham as in every other place in North Carolina, now as in the older days and always, the gods help them that help themselves. John Merrick had a host of solid friends among his white acquaintances, and so will every other man, no matter what his color, who shows himself to be deserving. This is a lesson all should learn thoroughly.”” “WE'LL STRUGGLE ‘TIL DEATH” By Tom Harris. Oh God, have they forgotten the deeds our noble blacks have done! Let's not forget there’s another battle to be fought and won, The Caucasians’ hearts are overflowing with that cursed prejudice, We'll show them that we Peace-Loving Negroes, (Which we alway try to be,) are determined now to fight for honor and liberty, We'll struggle until death ceases our efforts.

Mrs, Archie Lewis, who was injured internally a short time ago, has been quite iN, but is now convalescing. Messrs. Prank Smith, B. A. Hender- son, Frank McDonald, James Coleman and Archie Lewis motored to Hayden last Thursday to witness the boxing match between Rufus Williams of Columbus, N. M., and Young Pena, Ray's Mexican whirlwind. In his past ten bouts, the Mexican has come out victorious, but he met his Waterloo when he attacked the fighting colored boy from Columbus, N. M. In the first two rounds, Williams gave Pena an awful lacing and in the third the Mex- ican’s seconds threw up the sponge to save their man from further pun- ishment. The bout was staged at the Hayden ball park and it was agreed that the winner should take all. In conversation with the Tribune reporter, Williams staetd that he was very much interested in teh doings of Ira O'Neal of Phoenix and that if Ira wins his fight with Grant on Labor Day, he (Williams) will seek a match wtih the “Pride of Phoenix.” Yuma-Somerton | Ja oe Se Among those who. left last week for Los Angeles were Mrs. Martha Chisom, Messrs. Wm. Staten and A. W. Gardner. Mr. Gardner has purchased a home and has gone to Santa Monica to make preparation for moving his fam- ily here. Mr. Harry Morris has with him a new barber from Pueblo, Colo., a Mr. Greenway. ~ Upon Mrs. Rainwater’s return home, her husband surprised her with a brand new player piano. T must say the Colored population of Yuma is sleeping. The people of Somerton have a church and also a eafe. Yuma has nothing. Unless we organize and do something, we will be a back number. The Afro-American Protective League has opened up a first class cafe on Main street in Somerton. It has the only eafe for Colored people in the Yuma valley. It is well equip- ped and has ample room to accom- modate the public. The Pleasant Hill Baptist church is without a pastor. Rev. S. W. Jack- son is preaching for us every Sunday. Rey. Jackson is an able speaker and we believe the chireh would do well to call him, Officers of the Afro-American League are: Melvin Crisp, president; E. R. Caton, vice president; Frank Erath, secretary. (By Myrtle Threat.) « Mr. P. C. Bass, of San Diego, is a new arrival in the city, ‘Mr. A. Jones, of Phoenix, is a re- cent arrival in the city.

Mrs. Sims came here several months ago for the benefit of her health, Mrs. Ambrozine Smith, of Ft. Hau- chuea, who has been visiting in the city the past week, returned howe this week. Mt, Calvary Baptist church is pro- gressing nicely. We are at our post every Sunday. Rev. Bentley, Rev. J, M. Robinson, Mrs. E, Turner, Mrs, H. Harris and Miss Lucy Ferguson were delegates to the Baptist state convention which miet last week in Tueson, Mr. Albert Taylor is on the sick list this week. We hope for him a speedy recovery.

E. church at Mesa, Ariz., announces the purchase of a house and lot within three blocks of the Salt River Valley bank.

Bell to the contrary, notwithstanding. Signed: A. R. Smith, Managing Editor of the Phoenix Tribune. Patronize the merchant who advertises in the Tribune.

I heard them kids had a rolllekin time down at the party tyruther night. I say they did, boy, Well, what partyo? Why Chris Scott's party at his aunt's house, 726 West Grant street. Say, they rumped and skipped over the lawn and in the house like young lambs over a green pasture near a shady brook in early spring. There were old fashioned ring plays, prize games and sweet music to delight the young. Did you see that most lovely basket of rare roses? Had the donner been placed in the midst of those roses, one could not have decided which was the most lovely. Say, I heard Lois Peterson carried off first prize of the games, and straws were drawn between Timothy Gilmore and Willie Smith for the booby prize, Timothy the winner. You'll had some punch, eh? Yes, and some licking good ice cream, cake and candy, too. What's kids were there? Wait, wait, see—Ione I. Smith, Mary B.

They know just how to entertain the young folks. I say they do! Off to California, Maybe Mrs. D. W. Young of 1232 East Madison street is scheduled to leave Saturday for California to spend a few weeks with friends. If the trains run she will go, otherwise she will not.

However, Prescott's loss is Yuma's gain. Friday evening, Aug. 15, a party was given by Mrs. B. J. Foulkerson in honor of Mrs. S. H. Hill. Delightful refreshments were served. Monday evening Miss Marguerite Vernon entertained in honor of the younger members of the Hill family. San Diego, Gal. A Tribute to the Honorable Mayor of San Diego. "Hon L. J.

"Sir: "On behalf of the Colored citizens of this great and growing city, and also on behalf of the visitors from other cities, we desire to express to you our appreciation and gratitude for the broad stand you have taken in the cause of justice, liberty, and equal rights for all mankind, regardless of race, color, or previous conditions. "Such a platform is the foundation of success. It shows the real spirit of Democracy—that Democracy for which our boys bled and died. We would to God that every city in this state might adopt the principles enunciated by you. We believe the Colored people of this city will give you their-unqualified support at any time it may be desired. "We thank you. "Signed) "A. L. PORTER. "L. H. BALL. "W. G. MEADOWS. "N. ROEINSON."

EASY MONEY A discharged soldier with his young wife recently went on a shopping tour in: Washington. Ex-soldier, very tired and not having much interest in walking the aisles of a department store, sat himself down in the lobby and promised his wife to stay there until her return. Soon he was fast asleep. In: a reclining position, with his hat in: his hand, he was enjoying a quiet nap. When his wife returned she was shockingly surprised to see a dollar and a half in her husband's hat. —Carry On. WHY THEY CALLED IT THAT Not so very long ago Bill Hart, the reel star, was on location in Arizona. It had been a hard day and they asked one of the natives if there was a possible chance of getting a real drink. "Well," was the reply, "I ain't sayin' but what you kin get licker here, even if it has gone prohibition. For instance, they have a brand I can steer yer to they call Telephone Service." "Why do you call it that?" demanded Hart. "Well," said the native, "the worse it gets the more they charge for it." PAGE THREE AMENI Nearly all the sick Colored people who lived without any faith in a Colored doctor are dead. May they rest in peace. The Colored men who do not believe in the Colored lawyer, are also passing into judgment. Heaven be praised! Oh, Lord, hasten on the time when there will be found on earth a race of Colored people who believe in themselves. A "CLOSE-UP" FOR CONGRESS (Minneapolis, Minn., Journal) It would probably be impossible to say precisely where the responsibility lies for the present state of affairs in Washington, but we may rest assured that the blame is neither all black nor all white.

LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 26.—Plans for the colonization ef American Ne. goes in a new free state to be set up on the Mexican border, said to have the support of the 200,000 members of the race who comprise the Free Will M, E. church, will be set in mo: tion at the annual convention and conference of the chureh, to be held ik St. Louis this month, ‘The adop: ‘tion of the colonization program, ac cording to the statement made yes terday by Dr. M. M, Madden of Okla homa City, a delegate to the conven ‘tion, will eliminate entirely the race question from the list of problems fac ing the United States. “You eammot mix ofl and water, nor au inferior race with a superior, Dr Madden said, “Our movement is na tion-wide, and has the support, not only of the 200,000 members of om congregation, but also of hundreds o! thousands of independent members ‘of both races thruowt the country. Elimination of race trouble would not be the only advantage of the plan, Our state would act as a buffer between the United States and Mexied. Om people would be given rights guaran: teed, but not fulfilled, by the thir teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend ment to the Constitution of the United States.” Dr, Madden's plan is that the new stute be governed upon a modified territorial principle, Laws shall be made by the Negro Citizens of the state, but shall be subject to veto by the United States government. Ex cept for this veto, however, the col ony shall be entirely self-governing and relations with the United States shall be by treaty, ‘The state shall consist of 100 square miles of terri Yory; 500 on the American side of the Rio Grand river and 500 on the Mexican side. The United States shal buy the American territory from thé individual citizens, and the Mexican territory from the Mexican govern ment, Negro property in the United States shall be appraised and bough! up by the government, but emigration shall not be compulsory. SHOULD MINISTERS SMOKE? LONDON.— Whether ministers should smoke is arousing discussion among clergymen as a result of a question asked at recent convention of Methodist ministers as to whether it is Christianlike for ministers to smoke. “It all depends on what you smoke,” said one minister. “I smoke a cigar to the glory of God.” The Rev, C. F. Spurr, Regent's Park Methodist chureh, confessed _he smoked a pipe in his study, but didn’t think it wise for ministers to smoke in public. Another favors it for the reason that a.good smoke helps to get near a man’s soul. “Personally, I haven't smoked a dozen cigaretts in my life,” said Dr. F. B, Meyer, “and that was in Turkey where it would have been an act of great discourtesy not to smoke with your host. But I don’t object to smok ing if by doing so a minister can get nearer to a man’s soul.” —~ Old Mine Reappers _As Litigation Ends | The Arizona-Globe Copper com- pany, recently: Incorporated and head. led by P.

The trouble started, it is claimed, when three negroes attacked a white watch- man in a hotel. One of the trio was shot in the head while attempting to escape in an automobile and was taken to a hospital under arrest. moar OBTAINING THEIR RIGHTS, (Syracuse, N. Y., Herald) Such advice is Bolshevistic, anat- chistic. It can only lead to trouble. The best friends of the Negroes ev- erywhere will caution them against such folly. Negrées cannot obtain “rights” by unlawful, violent acts, nor can any other race or class. They can by such acis endanger all the gains made for their race by the splendid record of Negroes in the war. east aa A ROTTEN CONDITION.
