SIGNING OF EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION WAS PURELY A WAR MEASURE AND NO CREDIT IS DUE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY VOLUME II: NO. 39 (Editor's note: Following is an article which appeared recently in one of the leading race papers of this country. We have failed to receive any such article from the Associated Negro Press, and this strong editorial from the pen of one of our group will prove interesting reading to some. The article follows:) That the Republican party freed the Negroes is one of the biggest frauds which has been foisted upon the Negro and the American public. It is not true. Now what are the facts? The chief issue between the North and the South, which brought on the Civil war, and consequently the emancipation of the slaves, was: Who shall control the national congress? Who shall control the power to tax? WHY? WELL, the South was agricultural; it raised cotton and had to buy machinery for giving and cultivating it. The North, on the other hand, was industrial, and manufactured such machinery as the South needed. England also manufactured such machinery as the South needed. Now, the South wanted to buy her machinery in the cheapest market and England was the market. Besides, the Manchester textile industry of England bought millions of bales of cotton from the South. In other words, England was the chief market of King Cotton. Now the northern manufacturers wanted to sell machinery to the South. But in order to do it they must undersell the manufacturers of England. This could be done only by levying a tax upon manufactured goods brought over from England. Because the tax upon the article would raise the price of the article above the same article made in the North. But if these goods were imported free of any tax, then England could undersell the manufacturers of the North, and thereby monopolize the trade of the South. This tax was called a tariff and has been known as the protective tariff. Hence, the North wanted to get control of congress in order to levy a tax on wares made in England which were used in the South, and the South wanted to get control of congress in order to establish free trade or to make it possible for goods from England to come in free of any tax, so that it could buy them at a cheaper price. Now, as a means of getting control of congress the South attempted to extend slavery to the non-slave territory which would result in increasing its power in congress. The north opposed extension of slavery into new territory only because such an extension would give to the South a political advantage in congress—and not because the North opposed slavery of Negroes, as such. Slavery had already existed in the North and was only abolished in the North because the pious Puritans sold rum to the slave traders which was used to promote the slave trade between Africa, the West Indies and the South. Now, the Republican party was the party of the northern manufacturers at the outbreak of the Civil war and Lincoln was its spokesman. Lincoln repeatedly said that his main object was to save the Union and not to free the slaves. Lincoln, as the representative of the manufacturers, wanted to keep the South in the Union, because what value it have been to have gained the power to tax and to have lost the market in which the goods taxed were to be sold? The Emancipation proclamation was purely a war measure. Lincoln only armed 200,000 Negro soldiers when he was compelled to. It is as logical to maintain that the Republican party desired to free the Negro as it is to maintain that a tenant desires to pay rent. The tenant knows that in order to live in a house he has got to pay rent. Lincoln, as the voice of the Republican party, knew that in order to preserve the Union, he had to emancipate the Negroes. It is well to inquire into the cause of the Civil war and the consequent freeing of the Negro, only in order to relieve the Negro mind of any idea that he is indebted to the Republican party and to deprive the Republican party of any claim upon Seven-story Building Purchased by Syndicate Of Colored Investors NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Further expansion of the Negro colony in Harlem is presaged by the purchase of the Smithsonian, at the southeast corner of Lenox avenue and 129th street, a high-grade elevator apartment house, by a syndicate of Negro investors known as the Roach Realty company of 214 West 131st street. The Smithsonian is seven stories and covers a plot fronting 99.11 feet on Lenox avenue and 109.10 feet in 129th street. White tenants occupy the house on leases which do not expire until next October. It had been held at $300,000. Within the last year Negroes have acquired a dozen elevator apartment buildings in Harlem, many of them tenanted by white people, the most recent being the seven-story building at the northwest corner of Seventh avenue and 137th street. As a result of the shortage of living accommodations, the southerly limit of the Negro colony has gradually been extended. Several months ago a number of Negro homesekers crossed the "line" at 130th street and purchased private dwellings occupied by whites in the streets to the south. COLORED BANKS DISTRIBUTE $180,000 XMAS SAVINGS CLUBS COLORED BANKS DISTRIBUTE $180,000 XMAS SAVINGS CLUBS (By Associated Negro Press) NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 24.—The two Colored banks of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., distributed $180,000 on the 10th and 12th of December to their 8000 members of the Christmas Savings clubs. Placing a hundred and eighty thousand dollars in the hands of our group in any city is no small item, and institutions that can do that for our people within a week are real factors for thrift and uplift among our group. The Brown Savings and Banking company of Norfolk was the first Colored bank to inaugurate the Christmas Savings club feature in this section, and this year 3000 members saved $80,000, which was distributed to them on the 10th of this month. On the same day their club for 1920 was opened and a large number opened their membership for the next year. The Mutual Savings bank of Portsmouth had 5000 members in its Christmas Savings club, who saved $10,000, which was handed to them on the 12th. Their 1920 club opened the same day with a flattering outlook. The Mutual Savings bank has recently moved into its new home, where every feature of the bank is new and the most modern obtainable. In 1920 there will be three clubs instead of two, as this year, for the Tidewater Bank and Trust compnay, which opened the 9th of last June, opened its 1920 club on the 6th of December. This club has nearly a thousand members already. This bank has reached the $500,000 mark in resources. SIXTY TO ONE A man who was wanted by the police had been photographed in six different positions and the pictures sent to the chief of police of a provincial town where it was thought likely the fugitive was in hiding. After the lapse of a few days the following reply reached headquarters: "Sir—I duly deceived the portraits of the six miscreants whose capture is desired. I have arrested five of them and the six is under observation and will be secured shortly."—Tit-Bits. the Negroes' loyalty upon those grounds. Negroes owe the Republican party nothing. The Republican party owes them because it has been their loyalty upon which it has relied so securely. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY Rescinds Order For Troops When He Learns That Black Soldiers Are to Be Sent (By Associated Negro Press) OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 24.—Govoror Robertson canceled his request for troops to protect mine proprietors when he learned that two companies of Negro infantrymen were to be sent to the state from Columbus, N. M. In a message to Major General Dickman, commander of the southern division of the army at San Antonio, Texas, Governor Robertson declared these troops, would only involve us in unnecessary conflict and confusion," and formally withdrew his request. Colored Girl Ranks Highest in Class of 105 White Students (Special to The Tribune) SACRAMENTO, Cal., Dec. 24.—A young Colored woman is the storm center around which the board of trustees, the teachers and the pupils of the Calexico Imperial County High school are revolving, according to a letter received by Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction. The Colored pupil ranks highest in educational attainments among the 105 students, and the white girl scholars have refused absolutely to sit on the same platform with her at the coming graduation exercises, according to information received by Mr. Wood. Job Wood, deputy superintendent of public instruction, sent a letter to the Calexico trustees telling them: "If those white girls refuse to graduate with the girl with whom they have attended school through all of these years, they should go back into the public schools and have a real training for American citizenship." He also says that if there are any exercises, the Colored girl must be on the platform. SOLD: A MAN (New York Sun) The following is an exact copy of a document in the official records of the town of Brookhaven and throws light on slavery on Long Island in colonial days: "Robert Hudson, of Ry, sold a negro named Antony, that was John Ogdon's of Ry, to Richard Floyd of Brookhaven, to be delivered in this towne of Brookhaven, to the above saide Floyd, sound wiend and lime, to the apreheachon of two indifferent men, and in consideration of the same, the saide Fichard Floyd doth ingaege to pay forty eight pounds sterling to Mr. Alexander Brian, of milford, in pay that he shall except of twenty pounds next March ensuing, and the other twenty eight pounds next Macmfwy cmfwb wgvwm pounds the 29 day of September next, and alsoe to pay ten shillens here in this towne, and to lett his horse goe to Southould gratis, it is to be understood the pay in wheat, or pork and beafe, at marchant's price, and to the true pformens of the same we doe hereunto interchingable sett our hands, 9 desember, 1672. Richard R. Floyd. 9th day of March, 1674—Richard Floyd of Setakett, sold the above saide Negro, named Antony, to John Hurd, of Stratford. Witness, Richard R. Floyd. John Tooker. Sallie Brinsmaid." Setauket in colonial days was the capital of the town of Brookhaven, and there lived Colonel William Smith, the patentee, and Chief Justice of the province of New York. The Richard Floyd mentioned as the purchaser of the slave was undoubtedly an ancestor of William Floyd, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, for he came from Long Island, and it took men of means to buy slaves in those days.

TRIBUNE PHOENIX, ARIZONA, DECEMBER 27, 1919 COLORED POLITICIANS LINING UP FOR NEXT NATIONAL CONVENTION OF REPUBLICAN PARTY WHICH WILL BE HELD IN CHICAGO, JUNE 8, 1920 Africa Attracting World-wide Attention At This Time (By Associated Negro Press) GLENN FALLS, N. Y., Dec. 24.—Africa, the "Land of the Fathers," is attracting world-wide attention. The return of Colonel Young to Liberia has aroused general interest, and occasionally, as the Glenn Falls, N. Y., Post-Star, the truth about Africa is told. It is known that: "The Jews' return to Palestine is of profound significance from several points of view, but the increasing interest of the Negro race in Africa has not received so much attention. The Zionism of the Jew is paralleled by the Africanism of the Negro. Africa is the Negroes' continent of origin. The past history of the race has many noble points. Ancient and learned civilizations were erected by Negro peoples and many famous lines of kings were created by their nations. It was only when white civilization, with its rum and vices, touched the shores of Africa to debauch the black man and to abduct him into slavery that a stigma of inferiority was placed upon him, and that by those who had violated his human rights. "However, there is today a new consciousness of solidarity among the Negro race and a new appreciation of Africa as the land of their future development. The first Negro-owned liner is trading between New York and South Africa. A company called the Black Star line has been organized to create a line of twenty-four ships, of which the first is named Frederick Douglas. There may be no general exodus of Negroes to Africa, but there will be a general increase in the commercial relations between the Negroes of America and the continent of their origin. The future of the Negro race promises to be active." Dr. Bray Exonerated By C. M. E. Conference (By Associated Negro Press) BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 24.—At the session of the North Alabama Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, which closed in Anniston, with the reading of the appointments by Bishop C. H. Phillips of Nashville, Dr. J. A. Bray, general secretary of education, was unanimously exonerated from a charge made against him involving moral turpitude. It is said the evidence showed the charge to be the result of conspiracy, and was propagated for political reasons, it being generally conceded that Dr. Bray stands a good chance for the bishopric. When seen, Dr. Bray said: "The result could not have been otherwise, for it was a plain case of frame up. I had no doubt of the outcome, if the matter were put before an impartial committee. Many of my friends have been very kind, giving me assurance of their unshaken confidence." In the midst of the base, unjust, un-American talk about race segregation which Southern whites have started in Chicago, the statement of a member of an oppressed race sounds like a voice of fairness in the wilderness of race prejudice. A great hullataloo was raised over the sale by Rabbi Hirsch of his former residence at 4612 Grand Boulevard to a colored man. It was considered a matter of sufficient importance to warrant the sending of a reporter of the Chicago Tribune to interview the seller. Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, the famous Jewish leader, was asked by the reporter: "What are your views on race segregation?" Rabbi Hirsch replied: "From my point of view, we are all alike. Colored people are just as good as whites. I would rather have a good black neighbor than a poor white one." The British government has directed the Pacific Steam Navigation company to take charge of the German ships which were interned in Chile during the war. ASSOCIATED PRESS FORGOT TO MENTION FACT THAT INVENTOR WAS COLORED MAN ASSOCIATED PRESS FORGOT TO MENTION FACT THAT INVENTOR WAS COLORED MAN (By Associated Negro Press) BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 24.—In sending out this marvelous story, the Associated Press, true to form, failed to mention the race of the inventor, as would have been done with flourishes had he been an "alleged criminal." John F. Turner, deep sea diver, broke the world's record here late yesterday when he descended 360 feet near Grave's Light, off this port. His previous record was 167 feet. The suit Turner used is constructed entirely of heavy brass and weighs almost 400 pounds. It was invented by Charles H. Armstrong, a Negro mechanic, and is built upon the principle of the ancient coats of armor, with flexible metal joints. The diver's hands are entirely closed and in their places are hook which are worked from the inside by clutches. Engineers estimated the pressure upon the metal suit was 150 pounds to the square inch. After being incased in the huge suit, Turner was lowered into the sea by a derrick, the descent requiring thirty minutes. PHOENIX CHURCHES ```markdown ``` A. M. E. ZION CHURCH 822 South Montezuma. W.

BLACK MAN TO OPPOSE MISSOURI CONGRESSMAN IN THE NEXT ELECTION BLACK MAN TO OPPOSE MISSOURI CONGRESSMAN IN THE NEXT ELECTION (By Associated Negro Press) ST. LOUIS, Dec. 24. At a second meeting of the Citizens' Conference, held in this city, it was determined to run a Colored man for congress in the Twelfth district in opposition to the present congressman, L. C. Dyer. There are more than 15,000 Colored voters in the district, and a determined fight will be made. The movement has the endorsement of certain portions of the organization. Those who prepared the resolutions of action are: J. M. Well, Eugene Robinson, Homer G. Phillips, Dr. Darrington Weaver, Arthur L. Washington, Ike Neal, C. M. Moore, A. W. Lloyd, Charles Henry Phillips, Jr. OUT OF HIS LINE It was one of those rare occasions when Sir E. Marshall Hall, the lawyer, lost a case, and he wasn't feeling so very happy over it. "Your profession doesn't make angels out of men, does it?" said a medical friend, teasingly "No," retorted Sir Edward, "that's one thing we leave to you doctors." "WE ARE ALL ALIKE" Rabbi Hirsch replied: Kentuckian Says There Will Be No Race War If Blacks Are Let Alone (By Associated Negro Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 24.—The joint conference of social and industrial welfare organizations in session in Louisville brought forth many notable utterances from able speakers in ministerial and school circles concerning present-day welware problems. Dr. Kessler, a Southerner, educator and sociological student for the past thirty-five years in Southern universities, presented illuminating views of the Negro problem. "A race war will never be precipitated in the South by the Negro if we let him alone," the speaker said. "Neither the Negro nor the whites in the South desire race equality. It is only a few radicals among the former and a few disreputable politicians among the latter who will ever cause any trouble in this direction. "The Negro is conservative. He is a patriot by nature, and loyalty is spontaneous and temperamental in him. Inter-racial war may threaten from back alleys or from hidden recesses of alien radicals, but never by the Negro, if he is let alone. Industrial war is integral in our competitive life. All the autocracy of the centuries cannot prevent an eruption and readjustment. The democracy of industry is coming. The stand-patters for profiteering are the junkers of a dying cause; but the Negro will not initiate the disturbance and reform. It is our own race we need to look to. "The Negro must be developed and made efficient. He represents one-third of the population. If that submerged third is to remain ignorant, the South will not only fail of one-third of its potential power, but the other two-thirds will descend in the scale. "If the Negro is to live among us, we must give him a chance, not by tips and charity, but by a proper recognition of his worth, just treatment, fair wages and educational advantages greater than now offered him. He is here to stay. He touches every department of our life. What we need to do is get him rightly related. NORTHERN BLACK WOULD DEPORT HIS SOUTHERN BRETHREN (By Associated Negro Press) HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 24. "If such a thing is possible and could be brought about, I would like to see every one of those southern Colored men who have caused so much trouble to the community and given our whole race here in Hartford a black eye deported, either to the places in Georgia where they came from, or sent somewhere away from Hartford," said John Brown. Colored, employed at the Boston Branch. Brown is one of the active members of the A. M. E. Zion church and one of the best-known of the local Colored men. He condemned the shooting of Billy King last Sunday night by Barney "Tom" Hicks, and attributed it to the toleration by the authorities of Colored men's clubs in this city. In the last statement he was backed by Rev. Richard R. Ball, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, and John T. Goodman, citizens of several years' standing. Mr. Brown, the originator of the deportation idea, estimated that there are about 3500 Colored people in Hartford at present, of whom some 700 were brought here from Georgia in 1917 to help pick peaches. Some of this class stayed. Others returned to their southern homes. But later came back to Hartford in large numbers. "It is this class of Colored people," said Brown, "who have caused all the trouble. They are always in trouble and their actions not only harm themselves, and get them into all sorts of trouble with the police, but reflect on the whole race." Rev. M. Ball said that he saw little need for sending back the southern 5 CENTS A COPY; $2.50 a YEAR (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—The national convention of the Republican party will hold its next convention in Chicago, beginning Tuesday, June 8, 1920. It will be the fifth consecutive time that the greatest of all conventions has met here, and undoubtedly it will be the most notable, 1908 and 1912 not excepted. The greatest issues ever brought before the American people will be enunciated in the famous Coliseum next June. The Republican party will be forced, by the impelling demands of the times, to declare itself unmistakably on the great principles of justice, manhood rights and economic progress. Ever since the national convention of 1904 the Colored citizen, as a real factor in national conventions, has been slipping. He has answered "present" in large numbers, but he has actually been, more than less persona non grata, and it has been a pity to observe the way many of the big white leaders have played hide and seek with him around the Congress hotel. It will be remembered that in 1896, when the master political leader, Marcus A. Hanna of Cleveland, was engineering the political fortunes of William McKinley of Canton, Ohio, our leaders were the real forces in the St. Louis convention. Mr. Hanna had implicit confidence in George A. Myers, proprietor of the well-known Hollenden barber shop of Cleveland, and Mr. Myers handled the "lrother" in Napoleon Bonaparte fashion. In 1900, in Baltimore, Harry S. Cummings, a member of the city council of Baltimore, leaped into the limelight by being selected to second the second nomination of President McKinley at the Philadelphia convention. That was the last of the real public recognition by the G. O. P. As proof of our slipping, it will be recalled that John R. Lynch of Mississippi was selected as temporary chairman of the national convention in 1884 in Chicago. Can you imagine a citizen of our group being selected to such an honorary place in 1920? "Them was wonderful days." In 1912 the last Colored national committeeman, Hon. Judson Lyons, former registrar of the United States treasury, was given the bounce, and since that day none of the ebony blood has graced the sacred portals of the party's interim factorums. Perry W. Howard of Mississippi gave them a terrible scare, however, in St. Louis. The majority of the old guard—such as Crum and Vance and Brown—have gone to their reward—which we hope is more than they got from the G. O. P.—but there are "still some few remaining"—Lewis, Dancy, Tyler, Andrews, Cohen, et al, but they are getting "slow of step." There is a new day, and a new generation, and a new group of young political stalwarts, who, wise to the past, skeptical of the present and deeply concerned with the future, are going to ask for a real old-fashioned show down in the year of our Lord 1920. They have sentiment, and they, also, have sense, and they are saying that the old ancient and honorable talk about the "Negroes!" debt to the Republican party doesn't mean a tinker's damn to them, and hasn't a thing to do with the Fourth of July. The thing they wish to know, and know indeed, is: "Where do we come in?" That's what they are going to find out. And in that list are such good fellows and brave as Bob Church, Perry Howard, Emmet Scott, Jimmy Cobb, Roscoe Simmons, Lew Johnson, Tom Fleming, Lee Godman, George Harris, Alex Martin, Joe Jones, Billy Hueston, R. L. Vann, William Warley, Charles Muse, Clarence Starks, W. L. Porter, Oscar DePriest, Bob Jackson, Lewie Anderson, Fred Roberts, J. M. Weil and a few thousand others who say "The hour has struck."

An eminent public official of national renown, a man in a position to bring things to pass, has requested The Associated Negro Press to sound the sentiment of the people on the subject of a NATIONAL COMMISSION TO STUDY AND WORK OUT A PLAN OF PERMANENT RACE ADJUSTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES. This commission would be established by the United States senate, and appointed by the president. It would have white and Colored members from both the North and the South, and would be absolutely non-political. What do you think of the idea? A symposium of opinions will be published. Address: The Race Adjustment Editor, The Associated Negro Press, 312 South Clark Street, Chicago, Ill. January 1st, is acknowledged by historians as the proper day for us to celebrate our emancipation. We are pleased to find the people of this community up with the times and believe their celebration next Thursday will be a grand affair. The day has no real significance to many of us, for the reason that so few orators dwell sufficiently long enough upon the real importance and true meaning of it to impress us forcibly. Members and officers of the local branch N. A. A. C. P. are deserving of much praise for their painstaking efforts in bringing about a celebration on this date, and all Phoenix and the valley should turn out and help make this a great occasion. Anything that will induce people to save their earnings should receive publicity and be encouraged... Elsewhere in this issue we print an article from Virginia which tells of the good being done among our people by Christmas Savings Clubs. Every one wants money, especially at Christmas time, and having acquired the habit of saving, such as the Christmas Clubs teach, one is loath to part with his cash and desires to see his account grow a little bigger. Saving, like spending, is a habit, and once it is formed it becomes difficult to break away from it. On with the Christmas Clubs; they are great and should receive the endorsement of all public spirited citizens. Last weeks' Tribune was a hummer. Besides the usual amount of local and national news, it contained over eight hundred inches of display and classified advertising. This amount of advertising would be a credit to a sixteen-page daily, as many carry far less than this and are considered good newspapers. With your continued support and co-operation, the Tribune soon will be recognized by the big national advertising agencies and then we shall come forth in a sixteen-page edition that will make our leading race journals sit up and take notice. We aim to make the Tribune a little better every issue and are seeking constantly to improve it. Hence our motto: "Always Improving, Something Somewhere." It is impossible to please everybody and he who seeks to please all, pleases none. The sooner a newspaper man learns this truth, the better it will be for him. We had the light of this truth dawn upon us at the beginning of our jornalistic career. We charge white people with so many high crimes, misdemeanors, acts of oppression and repression against Colored people, that, like the worm, they sometimes turn and make a few charges themselves. They say, for instance, "that they do not give more jobs to Colored people because of their unreliability, their laziness unless watched, and their tendency to follow the adage: 'If pleasure interferes with work, why cut out the work.' They claim that they used to give church members the preference until they found that religion to the average Colored person simply meant an opportunity to sing loud hymns, pray long prayers, make noise and give vent to emotions. They state that the throwing open of public privileges would mean that the worst class of Colored people would patronize and abuse them just as they did years ago and that Colored people, as a mass, have no class and that they should not expect recognition until they develop sufficient intellectual, moral and financial strength to make and establish classes of their own. In short, they should learn to respect each other who are worthy of respect before expecting other races to do so." Are we guilty? Are the charges true? We pause for comment. Even the unmusical fish dealer wows the scales. more some people tell you the remember. When the widow ceases to weep her weeds soon dry up. Truth and a woman's age are not on speaking terms.

GRADE CHOICE ALFALFA HAY Few Bales of Inferior Quality Will Spoil Appearance of Carload of Superior Article In selling alfalfa hay it is absolutely necessary that a high standard of grading be maintained, for a few bales of an inferior quality will spoil the appearance of a carload of choice hay. Soft, ill-shaped bales, even if the quality is all right, should be put aside, for they will probably come apart in unloading, causing loss and trouble for your customer. NOT A STRONG DRINK Aline and her brother attended a birthday party of a playmate. Icecream, cake and lemonade were served. The boy asked for a glass of water. "I don't want lemonade.

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 10.—An announcement is made of the purchase of a tract of fifteen and eight-tenths acres of land on the Brook road at the intersection of Howard turnpike, to be subdivided into a modern residential district for Colored people. The property lies near Virginia Union University, the big Colored educational institution. The purchase price was $31,600. It is said that the tract will be divided into 103 building lots. A MYSTERY One of the great mysteries of life is why the wise who admit they know so much seem always to own so little. Let your, dollars scatter smiles among destitute children by placing them with the near east relief headquarters, Phoenix. The oldest bank notes in the world were issued in China 2,897 years before the Christian era. It is estimated that something like 15,000,000 dead are interred in the Roman catacombs. The government served blunt notice on soft coal miners and operators Saturday that interference with coal production would not be tolerated. An average man is generous to a fault, if it doesn't belong to other men. If people were given all they pray for the world would have to be en- larged. When some people feel for the poor they never feel in their pockets. Our idea of a wise girl is one who can't sing and knows it. Many a friendless man is his own worst enemy. Too often there is a sting back of honeyed words. No wise woman trusts a man who trusts to luck. MORE AND BETTER DENTISTRY FOR LESS MONEY 36 E. Washington St., Goldberg Bldg. Phoenix, Ariozna.

Spurious Stradivari. In the 64 years that Stradivarius worked for himself he finished 2,000 violins, and left a number unfinished that were later turned out by his sons. If you would take a count of all the Americans who have violins bearing the great workman's name, and do a little figuring, you will discover that Mr. Stradivarius and all his relations, in order to put out all the fiddles bearing his name, must have had a fiddle foundry covering many acres, running day and night for more years than Stradivarius lived. The varnish would have been made by the thousands of gallons. The violin would have started at one end of an endless belt, commencing with the neck, and come out at the delivery room all complete with the exception of the squeak. The Right One.
