I. W. W. and Socialist Arguments Alluring PHOENIX Full Associated Negro Press Service. We get the news first. VOLUME II. NO. 34 I. W. V RADICAL PROPAGANDA ON INCREASE AMONG BLACKS IN CHICAGO (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 19.—Radical propaganda among Negroes is on the increase in Chicago. But it has not resulted in any definite drift, and in no respect has assumed the proportions of a "movement". This is the view of T. Arnold Hill, secretary of the Urban League, the foremost employment and social center of the Colored race. Other prominent workers emphasized this view. "I am sure that Socialist and syndicalist propaganda has not increased among the Negroes in the proportions that it has among the whites," said Hill. "There are papers and magazines published every month, of course. It can easily be shown that they have been in existence for years, and slowly built up a self-sustaining subscription list. One of these is extremely radical. Its editor is an instructor in the Rand school for Socialism in New York. "The I. W. W. has a special organizer, J. W. Sims, formerly an organizer for the American Federation of Labor, active in Chicago. Negro leaders from four Southern cities have passed through Chicago in the last two weeks. In all cases they escaped from mobs seeking to lynch them or they were warned by white officials and friends that if they did not leave, mobs would get them. Also in each instance the refugee was promoting the work of an organization which urges the Colored Race to stand for the complete constitutional rights of the Negro. "I have talked with these men who escaped the mobs or were warned of mobs," said Dr. George Cleveland Hall, one of the leaders in Chicago and a member of the State Race Relationships commission. "There is a propaganda and a movement active in the South which aims to destroy Negro leadership. If the department of justice is looking for propaganda of violence and lawlessness, utter disregard of the constitution and law and order, we suggest that the department pay some attention to this phase of sedition, anarchy and contempt for American institutions." "Is the Negro getting more hostile to our government?" Not at all. He is turning more and more bitterly against the administration of our government, however, which permits discrimination in law and action against people who are asking only constitutional rights. Our enemies always emphasize social equality. But you will notice we put the strong pedal on economic and political equality. Let us have these and social equality will take care of itself." HOWARD UNIVERSITY Washington, D. C., Nov. 14.—The formal installation of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee as president of Howard university took place Wednesday in Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel amid ceremonies that were impressive to the last degree and in the presence of one of the most distinguished gatherings of educators and men and women of affairs ever assembled in this country. From every section of the country came accredited representatives of noted colleges and universities of both races, and in several instances, foreign universities gave credentials to scholars to act as envoys from these famous institutions of learning. The Mexican ambassador, the minister from Bolivia, the Liberian consul-general, and the U. S. consul to Madagascar, accepted invitations to be present, and gave diplomatic recognition to the ceremonies. The installation was a "red-letter event" In the long career of Howard university, and memorable from every point of view. Dr. Durkee came to Howard university a year ago, having been elected president by the unanimous vote of the board of trustees. Through a fine sense of duty and opportunity for service, he relinquished the pastorate of one of the largest churches in New England to take up the much-needed work of reorganizing and rehabilitating historic Howard university, founded by General O. O. Howard a half century ago for the higher and professional education of (By Associated Negro Press) RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 19. "The last place in the world for the Negro is the farm," Governor T. W. Bickett told as many as could crowd within hearing distance of the bandstand at the state fair grounds, where the governor delivered his address at the Negro State Fair. The Governor was presented to his audience by President James E. Shepard, who, in a few brief introductory remarks, added his word of counsel in support of the doctrine that the south holds the biggest opportunities for the Negro. Governor Bickett got his crowd in a good humor with a joke and stated his platform about state fair speeches. Thereupon he mounted the platform and in an informal way talked about ten minutes. "I simply came out here to show you that I'm with you; that I'm depending upon you; that I want to see you grow and prosper in North Carolina and have a good time." The Governor recorded the vivid impression of progress received from his review of the exhibits and paid a tribute to the work of the women in the way of household arts. Attractive, comfortable homes, the Governor said, is one of the mightiest forces of civilization, and he voiced his delight in seeing the women of the Race catching hold of the spirit of the new day. "One man I am sorry for in this world," said the Governor, "is the one who, when his day's work is done, goes to his home like a dog to his kennel. Every man is entitled to go to a home clean and comfortable, full of sunshine and love. "When you do your day's work," the Governor added by way of counsel, "and start to your home, be sure that you take your wages along with you. Be sure you turn a fair part to your wife, who is making your home there. The Negro who stands in the way of the progress of his Race is the one who works hard every day in the week and spends his money in useless or wicked ways. Governor Bickett revelled a bit in the memory of some unusually fine agricultural exhibits displayed at the fair and paid his tribute to the Neg.' farmer. "What does he care about a coal strike, or any other sort of strike?" he added. "He has all the sweet potatoes he wants and he can find the 'possums. "The best place in the world for the Negro," he added, "is the farm. He can make more money there and have more comforts there than any other place on earth. "Stay in a good humor," was the Governor's parting injunction to the Negro citizens. "If you want to get along together," he said, "get in a good humor; live in love and fellowship with all your neighbors, black and white; follow the example of the soldier and pack up your troubles in the old kit-bag and smile, smile, smile." SOUTH DAKOTA TOWN BARS COLORED PEOPLE Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 19.—There will be no race question to bother the residents of Lemmon in the immediate future. This is due to the fact that Negroes are not allowed to live in Lemmon. Several Colored men recently appeared here, and as the citizens did not like their looks the newcomers were quickly requested by some of the young men of the town to seek new fields. The Negroes lost no time in complying with the "request." It is believed they were from some of the larger cities Colored youth. Dr. Durkee has accomplished wonders in the short period he has been at the head of Howard university, and so effective have been his labors and so deeply has he imbedded himself in the love and confidence of the element with which he has had to deal in connection with his great trust, the exercises of the week took on the form of a jubilation as well as that of an inauguration. Dr. Durkee enters upon his sacred mission under auspices that insure success. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY (By Associated Negro Press) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 19.—According to Prof. Wm. Pickens, dean of Morgan College, Baltimore, "it was in a southern town Roosevelt, President of the United States, was there. The populace gathered about, and at this particular juncture the President seemed to hold an impromptu reception for the children who crowded near him. A little Colored child was there—perhaps caught in the drift of the crowd or led on by the instinct to follow other children. The President was saying merrily, 'These are my grandchildren.' And as they came near he would take them up, give them some little token of his affection and set them down. At sight of this the Colored child became abashed and hesitated on the edge of the crowd, perhaps looking for a chance to retreat. When the big man discovered the predicament of this child, he reached out his hand in that direction and said, 'You come, too, you.' Nobody seemed to suppose that he was beckoning for the Colored child, and when lystanders began to push little white children from that side toward him, he said, 'You, little Colored child.' When the embarrassed little human being reached him, he took it up, gave it the same token of affection and remarked simply, 'You are one of my little grandchildren, too.' He went on with his performance as if nothing unusual had happened. No comment was heard—for this was Roosevelt. "Colored people are invited among others to buy voluntarily memberships of $1 or more to build a memorial to the great American." CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA (By S. L. Daniels) The Parlor City of Iowa has assumed the appearance of real autumn. People go about the streets with their fall coats and wraps on, and old Jack Frost has put in his appearance. Nevertheless, the city is alive as an industrial center and the hum and bustle of the busy populace is everywhere apparent. Men and women may be seen each day going to and from the various plants. The Quaker Oats company employs 2,500 people, the National Oats company employs 1,100, the Sinclair Fidelity Packing company employs 1,500, besides there are numerous other concerns that employ large numbers of people. The Rock Island Railway company employs a small army of men at their shops; in fact, there is plenty of work for all. The citizens of this community are enjoying the most prosperous times of their lives. Work is plentiful and wages are good. People are coming in on every train and the housing problem is growing serious. More houses will have to be built, otherwise many will be compelled to live in tents. New buildings are going up everywhere, but the demand is greater than the supply. The latest report says the city is short about 100 houses and the big contractors say they are short from 75 to 100 workmen needed to carry on the building. They are paying forty-seven and a half cents per hour, but even this does not bring a sufficient number of men for the enormous amount of work there is to be done. Last week was known as Booster Week for greater Iowa. A big racing event took place in Green's Square, and there was a push-ball contest between the six grammar schools of the city. Harrison school and the Madison school teams won two straight games and were pitted against each other in the finals, Friday evening on the college football ground. Thursday was the big day for the parade and horse show which was led by the Municipal Band of thirty-six pieces, while a band of colored musicians brought up the rear. This band made a decided hit. The twelve members of the band were attired in neat uniforms and presented a perfect front. Their playing could not be excelled and every onlooker "gave it to 'em." Rev. J. H. Farribly, who in 1911 was pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, is again with us. He succeeds Rev. W. A. Sims as pastor of this charge. Mr. Thomas Jackson of 609 North PHOENIX, ARIZONA, NOVEMBER 22, 1919 The recent Arkansas trials on the "uprisings" there have been so frequently one-sided that the Associated Negro Press has selected this editorial expression from the Pittsburg Leader, a daily of national importance, as a most remarkable state of facts. Says the Leader: "The methods of civil authorities in Arkansas, in connection with the participants in the recent race riot in that state, furnish little to inspire confidence. The mere fact that only Negroes have been arrested, only Negroes indicted, and that already within a few days six black men have been condemned to death, is enough to arouse suspicion that the operation of the legal mechanism in Arkansas might be improved without disturbing other civic excellencies. "The grand jury in Chicago which sat upon the cases of race rioting in that city took a different course. The members of that jury acted like regular men. They have received the commendation of fair-minded citizens everywhere. When the members of that jury discovered that the civil authorities had arrested only Negroes, and, so far as could be learned through questioning, intended to arrest and put on trial only Negroes, the jury stopped its work on the race riot cases. The authorities were told that when they could make up their minds to act fairly and decently, the grand jury would take up the cases. The jurymen said if no white men were to be put on trial, no Negroes would be indicted, either. There the case seems to have come to a rather abrupt end. Fair play is not dead. "In Arkansas the Southern race animosity seems to be in complete control. There is no grand jury to make clear inquiry into all the facts. There is no one to make a defense of the Negroes. No one to make a stand for justice. Justice is not under consideration." "The first great point is to insist upon the supremacy of the white race. The second is to emphasize the inferiority of the black race. That established, the right of the whites to do as they please with blacks speaks for itself. It must be right because the superior race says so. If the Negroes are admitted to have legal rights, the superiority of the whites is worthless. "If the white people of Arkansas, or any other state, believe that they can strike terror into the hearts of the Negroes by arbitrary killings, either through mass attacks, straight-out mob work, or through the legally conducted machinery of law, they are making the most serious blunder of their lives. But the swift way they are arresting and condemning to death looks as if they are going to try to make it stick. They are doomed to disappointment." CAN 2 RACES LIVE SIDE BY SIDE WITHOUT ONE BECOMING SUBJECT? CAN 2 RACES LIVE SIDE BY SIDE WITHOUT ONE BECOMING SUBJECT? (By Associated Negro Press) Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 19.—The Rev. Fred W. Burnham of Cincinnati, president of the United Christian movement of the disciples of Christ, who presided over the social and industrial discussions asserted: "The Negroes in this country have as a result of the war, developed a race consciousness that constitutes a menace and we have yet to demonstrate whether two races can live side by side, even under Christian conditions, without one becoming subject." GEORGIA COLORED MEN ORGANIZE MERCANTILE CO (By Associated Negro Press) Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 19.—Several of Thomasville's best known Colored citizens have applied for a charter to form a mercantile company to engage in business here. According to the application, the business will be both wholesale and retail with the privilege of manufacturing various articles. The company is incorporated at $10,000 with the privilege of increasing the amount. (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 19.—Robert R. Church, capitalist, business man and a political leader, has demonstrated beyond question his ability to cope with the present political crisis so far as our group is concerned. Mr. Church is a political leader by adoption and by choice. He has studied politics and has been interested in every field of activity from committeeman to presidential nomination and election. He is retiring in disposition but untiring in effort. He is demonstrating more unselfishness than four or five other political leaders that might be picked from various parts' of the country. As time goes on Mr. Church will undoubtedly be consulted very seriously by the leading factors of the Republican party with reference to the presidential campaign of 1920. Mr. Church was in Chicago this week in conference with Republican leaders, a number of whom were called to the city by Chairman Will H. Hays, to discuss the subject of conditions following the recent elections. The political situation throughout the country is such as to give the leaders of all parties great concern. As quiet as it is kept, the propaganda of the Socialist and I. W. W. has begun to have an effect on the thinking Colored people, because much of their argument for economic and political justice is absolutely unanswerable by either the Republican or Democratic parties. There is to be formed in this city, the latter part of November, a new national Labor party to which a call has been issued and it is stated that twenty thousand delegates will attend. The Republicans, for a part, keep their hold on the majority of the Colored people throughout the country, but they must play the game fair and aboveboard if they are dealing with the new Negro who thinks and goes independently, and who is bitterly disgusted with the old-time arguments of the debt owed the Republican party and what it did for our fathers. The new Negro sees the advantage of political power and he wants it. He is, further, determined to have it some place or other. He is open to reason and uses good sense and good judgment and knows well who are his friends and always unfinchingly stands by them. Race consciousness and unity have been aroused to such an extent, together with wide opinion of Race threats, that concerted action on political matters may be obtained now as never before. The new Negro recognizes that politics has a power, and as there is no sentiment when he thinks, there should be no sentiment in politics. 'FARMING' CHIEF TOPIC AT ANNUAL TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE, JAN. 5-17 (By Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 19.—The annual Tuskegee Negro conference is to be held at Tuskegee institute, January 21 and 22. The conference will be preceded by the annual two weeks short course in agriculture, which will convene from January 5 to 17. The topics for the conference are being worked out and will be announced at an early date. On the first day of the conference, subjects having to do with the progress and improvement of farming, will be considered. On the second day of the conference, special consideration will be given to the problems of race relationships and what steps should be taken to stabilize the present situation so as to bring about a better understanding between the races. avenue died Thursday, Oct. 23. He was a native of Mississippi, having come to this city some twenty years ago. He conducted a barber shop and was considered well to do. The deceased was 77 years of age and leaves a wife and two sons to mourn his passing. The funeral was held Oct. 26 from the A. M. E. church, Rev. J. H. Farriby officiating. Mt. Olive Lodge, F. and A. M., had charge of the funeral. (By Associated Negro Press) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 19.—The American Legion, an organization representing the veterans who fought in the great world war, slipped a cog in its wheel of progress when the eligibility committee recommended that eligibility of members be left to the various states instead of to the National Committee. It is plain to be seen that this attitude means the "barup" against the thousands of Colored veterans throughout the South who were valiant in the service of the country during the war. This subject was one of the many questions before the American Legion and was left for final decision from the Springfield meeting during the summer. In practically every Southern state, there has been a determination to refuse charters to Colored posts, which, of course, is in line with Southern policy, but out of harmony with the times and the true American spirit of justice and fair play. Prior to the convention a number of delegates were in conference in Chicago with Capt. Lewis E. Johnson, formerly of the 370th Infantry, and others. The men brought written statements from Southern states stating that the American Legion was for Caucasians only. Very naturally, the Colored veterans throughout the country, in conjunction with the thousands of splendid white veterans, are greatly indignant at any camouflage to smear over the subject and keep out of the American Legion thousands or more who willingly left their homes and business and work to go to France and fight for democracy, while thousands of white southerners used every means within and without the law to keep them out of the service. The records bear out the fact that the Colored people of the South, as well as in many other sections of the country, furnished more than their quota of service men. This attitude will undoubtedly precipitate a fight to the finish by the younger citizens, who are determined that justice shall prevail. CHARGES AGAINST 368TH INFANTRY UNWARRANTED (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C.-Failure of the 368th Negro Infantry Regiment to function properly in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, which led to the predicament of the famous "Lost Battalion" was due mainly to the fact that the Negro unit received unauthorized orders to withdraw, according to a special report made to Secretary of War Baker by an officer of the inspector general's staff. Careful investigation has failed to reveal the origin of the mysterious orders. No such instructions were sent from American headquarters, the report, which was made public, said. Company officers had been warned that "no withdrawal order, not in writing and signed by the battalion commander, should be obeyed." The investigation was ordered by Mr. Baker in order that he might obtain all the facts regarding the participation of the 368th Infantry in the action, in view of the severe criticism of the regiment's failure to hold. Allegations were made, the Secretary said, that the morale of the regiment had been broken by Race discrimination, that the white officers fell short of their duty and that the troops were not properly equipped. With the exception of the criticism relating to equipment, all the charges were unwarranted, the inspector's report said. The officers involved were Capt. Daniel Smith, Lieuts. Crawford, Cheers, Cross and Johnson. Capt. L. H. Godman, in civil life an attorney in Columbus, Ohio, and Lieut. Goodloe of Wash. were attorneys in the case. The horse is the type of the one-toed creation, the camel the two-toed, the rhinoceros the three-toed, and the hippopotamus the four-toed animal life. The elephant and hundreds of other animals of different orders belong to the great five-toed tribe. Largest Circulation of any Race Journal in the Southwest. 5 CENTS A COPY; $2.50 a YEAR luring WHITE MAN SPEAKS OUT IN DEFENSE OF COLORED AMERICANS (Editor's Note: Following is an article which appeared recently in the Los Angeles Times. We consider this pretty strong "stuff" to come from the pen of a white editor, nevertheless, we are publishing it for the truth it contains. The article follows): "Through it all white people should keep their minds clear and not permit themselves to make the mistake of thinking that all Negros are alike, When some degenerate Negro assaults a white woman and is lynched for it, white people who do not think deeply come to the conclusion that every Negro would assault a white woman if he did not stand in fear of lynching. "Now, nothing could be farther from the truth than this conclusion. Anyone who knows the Negro people knows it is not true. The Negro who assaults or who desires to assault white women is the exception. We do not fear to say that this kind of Negro numbers only one in 10,000. And that is just as good an average as white people can claim. "The fact is, that the average Negro is not at all attracted by white women. He much prefers his own women. WE ARE TO REMEMBER THAT THERE HAVE BEEN AND STILL ARE WHITE MEN WHO PREFER NEGRO WOMEN TO THEIR OWN RACE. ONE OF THE GREATEST LAWYERS AMERICA HAS EVER KNOWN WAS ONE OF THESE. "Neither are we to forget that during the Civil War the cultured white women of the South were left wholly at the mercy of Negro guardians while their men-folks were away in the battlefields. And these women were not violated. The Negro then answered for himself and his answer was sublime." ARKADELPHIA, ARK. (By Rev. Major Jones) Although they are few in number, the colored people of this city are very progressive and enterprising. They go hand in hand, one with the other, and are bringing things to pass. Mr. Harvey McDaniel, a bright young business man, is conducting a company store on West Caddo street and doing well. Mr. H. W. Austin is one of the leading business men of the city and has the interest of the Race at heart. He owns a large furniture store and employs two young colored ladies and one colored man to look after the business for him. He enjoys a liberal patronage and his business is in a flourishing condition. Mr. Bennie Hunter is proprietor of the Star Cleaning and Pressing Works and is doing a big business. Arkadelphia is the educational center of the southwest district of Arkansas. In this district we have nine churches, four colleges, one high school, one grammar school. The A. B. A. is nearing completion, and with its able faculty, we are expecting great things of it. Dr. J. T. Hill, D. D., pastor of Ronake Baptist church of Hot Springs, is president. His assistants are Misses Maud Jentry and Keefle and Mrs. Keefle. Miss Jentry is a graduate of Pine Bluff State Normal of the class of 1916, and, like other members of the faculty, is an able instructor. Prof. S. D. Dildreth is principal of our grammar school and has a corps of able assistants. Mrs. Eva Thompson, Miss Forbes, Mrs. Bonnar and Mr. Nun are teachers in the grammar school. Miss Christiana Triggs has been on the sick list the past three weeks, but is improving rapidly. Mr. Tom McCloud is confined to his bed with rheumatism. We hope that he will soon recover. The literary society in this city is doing much good, especially among the young people. Last Monday evening a large crowd was present and all took part in the interesting subjects which came up for discussion. Mr. Isom Young is president, and, with the assistance of the good people in the city, much good is being accomplished. We are headed in the right direction and nothing but success can come from our efforts.

A grade and class of the two big political parties, and a certain element of our own race never ceases to keep the fires burning. The intelligent, Christian, law-abiding, home-making element of our race are buying farms, building little towns, establishing schools, adjusting themselves to the communities where they live and making homes for their families. The press says little or nothing of this phase of Negro life and progress which is going on in the southern states. Lynchings and mob violence injured the white people of the south far more than it could ever do harm to the Negro. It has sent from the south in the last three or four years more than a million from the cotton and corn fields, rice swamps and labor circles, and they continue to do so. Such crimination and recrimination does not help the white or Colored people and should be changed by the thoughtful people of this section. The Negro of the south must be wise and tactful to the extent of not allowing himself to be exploited for those things which are not for his moral, intellectual and economic development, for these are the things that count in the end. Justice and right come to those who improve themselves sanely and sensibly, and wait upon the Lord. "The educational propaganda of the Negro from any angle is our greatest need today. This system and method of training must be along proper and sane lines and must be done by persons who themselves must understand and are in great sympathy with those they are training. "The south is taking on new life and if wisely managed will be the place for those who must have a happy future. For justice and moderation will abound and right will be granted to all according to their good conduct." Concerning this report, the Atlanta Constitution, one of the most influential dailies of the South, says, editorially: "When a Negro commits a crime—resulting, it may be, in a riot—that crime is widely exploited and reports of it go broadcast over the country. "The better element of the race—vastly in the majority—may build churches, schools, establish thrifty, peaceful, law-abiding, decency-respecting farm communities and in many ways move upward on the ladder of good citizenship, as they are doing in all parts of the South, and little is said about it. But if one Negro brute commits a crime, even in those very communities where the race as a whole is making splendid progress, the world is put on notice, and the ninety-nine who are law-respecting citizens, and who are trying to improve the status of the race, are made to suffer. "This form of injustice is being gradually remedied. Meanwhile, the advice of this conference committee to the race is well worth its careful consideration. The sentiment expressed in this report merits the approval not only of the Negroes, to whom it is specially addressed, but the spirit of the document deserves and will receive the commendation of the white race."

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Editor's Note—We were unable to publish all our article last week and so are giving you the closing chapter this week. Should we attempt to describe all the wonders of Prescott it would require several pages, so we shall leave the rest to your imagination until you are fortunate enough to visit the city and see for yourself. Following are closing remarks: Fort Whipple Barracks Fort Whipple Barracks No visito to Prescott is complete without a trip to the government barracks at Fort Whipple. Here you will find a city within itself. Fine buildings of every conceivable character and many other things too numerous to mention. We visited the nurses' quarters, where several colored ladies are employed as waitresses, maids, cooks, etc. We met Mrs. P. R. McCullough, a former resident of Phoenix, who is employed by the government and drawing a princely salary. We also met Mesdames Anderson, Turner, Robinson and others. All of these ladies are commanding good salaries and are happy. We visited the post barber shop, which is conducted by Mr. Leonard J. Harris, and found him and his assistants, Messrs. Bell and Williams, all at work. This is a very neat shop, and Mr. Harris informed us that they have all the business they can take care of. Sergeant A. McElroy, who is connected with the commissary department, showed us through the kitchen, dining room and hospital department, where the wounded colored soldiers are. We gave them several copies of the Tribute and they expressed their delight at receiving a colored paper. They said that it is pretty lonesome in there without anything to read and they are always glad to get a colored newspaper. Lodges There are two Masonic lodges in the city. One working under the Texas jurisdiction and the other under the Colorado jurisdiction. The Colorado lodge has purchased a lot and several thousand bricks, preparatory to erecting a hall. A movement is on foot among the members to merge the lodges into one grand body, in which case they soon will be able to erect a hall that will be a credit to the city. The ladies have several organizations, such as the Eastern Star, Daughters of the Tabernacle and one other. If Prescott is anything it is a fraternal city—a city of brotherly love. Some of the best peoples on earth live in Prescott and we had the pleasure of meeting a number of them during our stay in that city. We were royally entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Alexander on Saturday. Sunday Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Harris entertained us at a delightful dinner. Monday, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Hines fairly outdid themselves when they entertained Rev. Newell and myself at a genuine Spanish luncheon. Every member of the party had some knowledge of the Spanish language, and while devouring the appetizing Spanish dishes prepared by the genial hostess, the conversation was carried on in Spanish, which made the feast all the more enjoyable. We regret our inability to accept all invitations we had to dine, but three hearty meals in one day should be sufficient for any man. Mr. and Mrs. A. McElroy, who have a comfortable home at Fort Whipple and a bright little girl, who is the darling of that home, invited us to dine with them, and we were forced to decline on account of a previous engagement. Mr. and Mrs. Paris Tabron, who own a beautiful home on South Montezuma street, and are considered among the leading citizens of Prescott, extended us an invitation to dine with them, and on account of a previous engagement this invitation had to be declined. Next time we go to Prescott we shall remain long enough to take advantage of all such invitations. BISBEE By MYRTLE THREAT The Pleasant Hour club will meet at the home of Miss McHenry. They met last week at the home of Mrs. McGrady and everyone enjoyed a very pleasant evening. Sergt. S. E. Berkly of Ft. Huachuca, was a visitor in our city last week. Mr. Smith, Mrs. Prince, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Scott, all of Ft. Huachuca, spent a very pleasant week-end visit here. Mrs. Jones has opened a restaurant at her home and wishes the patron- age of everyone.

Gray had been owing the firm of Jones and company a small sum since the year 1868. After disposing of some cotton Thursday, he voluntarily went to this firm and stated that he was ready to clear up the indebtedness which had been hanging over him for half a century. The receipt read, "For account rendered from 1868 to present time." Gray said it was the happiest moment of his life and now that he is out of debt and had bright prospects before him, he expects to buy his family an automobile in celebration of the event of his life. LIVELY SHOOTING SCRAPE (By Associated Negro Press) Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 19.—A lively shooting scrape took place on a street car on Dexter avenue, near the crossing of Lawrence street, in which a Negro, Charlie Steers, was shot through the leg above the knee by Conductor J.

AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE (By Associated Negro Press) Macon, Ga., Nov. 19.—Paul Jones, a Negro, accused of attacking a white woman near the site of Camp Harris, was lynched by a mob at the scene of the crime shortly after midnight. The Negro was arrested by two deputy sheriffs, but the mob quickly formed, compelling the officers to take refuge in a box car. Sheriff Hicks, learning of the plight of his deputies, went to the scene, and was permitted by the mob, which numbered a thousand persons or more, to take the Negro to the home of the woman for identification. She identified him, it is said, from a blood mark she had purposely placed upon his clothing. The crowd refusing to be calm by the pleas of the sheriff, then seized the Negro and put him to death. 0 OR MORE FOR ch sending us 100 new year CELEBRATES HIS DE AN ARTICLE A VALUE YOU to constantly keep in mind when YOU'RE buying are materials, quality of ability of the article along selling provides, not price. that YOU should demand in it will look as good and be as it does the day YOU carry for YOU—furniture provide the service that as- sition. will show our prices con- idered.

The rumors became so strong that Mayor J. J. Green of Covington called a meeting of some of the more prominent Negroes, but all of them denied knowing anything of the rumors. One of the rumors was that the Colored population around Rialto, one of the thickest Colored settlements in the county, had secured guns and ammunition for the uprising, to begin October 27, and which rumor caused the following statement to be issued by two of the leading Negroes of the community: A Public Declaration of Innocence To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify whereas it has been rumored that we, the Colored Citizens of Rialto, are charged with securing guns and ammunition with which to incite rioting. We, the citizens' of this community, deplore and deny by an unanimous vote of said citizens assembled the above charge. WILL TEACH DIVERSIFIED FARMING IN GEORGIA (BY ASSOCIATED Negro Press) QUITMAN, Ga., Nov. 12.—White farmers in Georgia who want to keep their Negro tenants satisfied on the farms will have to encourage them and teach them to diversify their crops. This year has convinced every Georgia farmer that cotton can no longer be grown as it used to be, says R. E. Dower of Dixie, Ga., one of the most successful farmers in this country. Many farmers say you cannot teach a Negro to be anything but a cotton farmer. Mr. Dower does not agree to this and points to the example of one Negr tenant on his place. He says not one of his cotton tenants will make over a bale and a half of cotton to the plow this year. This Negro runs two plows; last spring he sold $400 worth of winter cabbage; after his cabbage crop he planted beans, Irish potatoes and onions.

Mr. Editor of the Tribune, on your clean, beneficial and wholesome paper, the mental food of the Arizona Negro. By WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY, Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. The Negroes of the nation respect and honor their leaders who speak out fearlessly and constructively, not only condemning all forms of economic and social injustice practiced by white people, but also in condemning all forms of narrowness or bitterness which are found among black people. Those whites who are inclined to proceed on the assumption that the entire Negro race represents a "child" group need to realize that on account of the recent migration of half a million Negroes from the south, the world war, and other forces, including various propaganda agencies, Negroes in increasing numbers have come rather quickly to man's estate, and must be dealt with as mature, thoughtful determined men and women. luenza FOR OUR B ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS P $25 Weekly Sickness Benefit $25 Weekly Accident Benefit $25 Weekly Hospital Benefit $100 Emergency Relief $375 For Loss of One Eye $875 For Loss of One Foot ENTIRE CO NO ASSESS General Policy ever issued by any Com- pany and 70 years at the same low cost. secure Today---To you can't afford it.

TENNESSEE PROVIDES BETTER SCHOOLS FOR BLACKS Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 19.—Tennessee has followed Mississippi's example in appropriating funds for a Colored agent in supervising Negro educational work. The growth of Colored country schools through the aid of the Rosenwald fund has much to do with the sentiment behind this appropriation. These Rosenwald schools are found in every southern state; and the increasing sums given them by the states, by local white friends, and by the Negroes themselves, show their values as estimated by both races. Mr. Rosenwald has given to date $312,000; the states have added $354,000 from public funds; white friends have given locally $88,500; and the Negroes have given $443,000—a total for school buildings in excess of ordinary appropriations of $1,197,500. Where these funds are given lengthened terms and better teachers are necessary. (By Associated Negro Press) Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 19.—Wm. N.
