I. W. W'S. WOULD START RACE IN ARIZONA VOLUME II. NO. 40 G. O. P. CHAIRMAN WILL SET MACHINERY TO WORK JANUARY 5 CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—That the Republican party intends to leave no stone unturned by which the people may be acquainted with the plans of the presidential campaign of 1920 is evident from the announcement that Chairman Will H. Hays expects to set the work in motion actively at a conference here on January 5, 6 and 7. Practically all of the members of the national committee are to meet here in consultation with William Hert as president of the committee on arrangements for the national convention. The women's division of the party organization is to meet in formal session. One of the chief features will be the formal session of the men and women who are to meet and formulate a draft of platform which will be submitted to the committee on resolutions next June. There is unusual activity manifested throughout the country by the Colored voters. Never before in the history of the party have they manifested such great concern with reference to the platform and to the Republican nominee. Hundreds of men throughout the country, business men and professional men, are taking an active interest in political movement. This being the first time women have been permitted to take an active part in the national convention, hundreds of our women are getting busy in this direction. (By Rev. Major Jones) Douglas is the second largest city in the state and the gateway to Sonora, the treasure-house of Mexico. If you want to live in a real live town, where sunshine and happiness abound, come to Douglas. Prof. Billings of St. Louis, Mo., spent two days in Douglas last week visiting his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennie Goodby. Prof. Billings was favorably impressed with our city and stated that some day he might come here to live. He is an accomplished young man, polished, refined and highly educated. He is a graduate of the law school of Ann Arbor, Mich., and is entitled to write LL. D. after his name. Immediately after being shown a copy of the Phoenix Tribune, he arranged to have the paper sent to his address in St. Louis, stating as he did so that the Tribune was a clean race journal, well edited and should be supported by every man and woman of the race in Arizona. The Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday school has taken on new life and under the able tutelage of Miss Ida Coleman, the superintendent, we expect to make this the best Sunday school in the state. Miss Coleman also is teacher in the public school of this city and is deserving of the highest praise for her public spiritedness and willingness to help in all causes that tend to uplift the race. Mrs. Bertha Jones was hostess at a delightful dinner Sunday afternoon given at her palatial home. A five-course repast was served and greatly enjoyed by all. Covers were laid for Mrs. M. A. Jones, Mr. N. King, Miss Bessie Jones, Mr. Eli Robinson, Dr. J. W. Bryant and Rev. Major Jones. Douglas now has a colored physician in the person of Dr. J. W. Bryant, who comes well recommended, and we are indeed proud of him. He is doing a great work in this city and has already proven his ability as a practitoneer of the first class. There are enough colored people in this city to give Dr. Bryant a lucrative practice. Let us throw our support to him and make him as proud of us as we are of him. He resides at 352 Seventh street. If you want to avoid influenza, call Dr. Bryant. Mrs. Chas. Fish Entertains Sunday, December 28, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fish, 909 East Jefferson, en- tertained at dinner Mr. and Mrs. E. S. P. Dawson, Mr. and Mrs. M. White, Mr. George Tinsley and Mrs. Anna Maroney. Wedding Bell Rings A marriage license was issued this week to Mr. Bert Trice and Miss Cora Wheeler. By the time this notice appears the wedding will have taken place. Caucasian Speaks Out In Defense of 15,000,000 Colored American-Citizens (By Associated Negro Press) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 31.—William Anthiusue (white), in a statement to The Associated Negro Press, has some very pertinent things to say on "race adjustment," and he has very wisely arranged for the people of his group to learn his opinions. He says: "What Colored people want is to have the same chance to live happy, healthful, useful, successful lives as white people. They wish not to be discriminated against in the matter of obtaining employment; desire the same wages for the same work; the same school facilities for their children; the same opportunity for the young people to acquire trades, and education in the professions; wholesome housing conditions; hospital facilities, in fact, they want no discrimination whatever, because of difference of color. They believe a man's a man no matter what his color, and he should be treated as such. "If the twelve million Negroes in America are to give brain-labor, hand-labor and heart-labor to this civilization of ours, they must be given the tools of achievement and share the reward of co-workers. They ask nothing of us which is not fair and just, and they should be treated fairly and justly by their white fellow citizens. Why not? "Too many of us, in judging the Negro, fix the eye inexorably upon some atrocious or unjustifiable act of a single individual. Is this the way to judge a race? The tribunal of history does not condemn Christianity because some of its adherents were criminals, nor the Puritans because some of them burned witches. "Democracy can only be preserved by citizens as jealous of the rights of others as of their own. There cannot exist two codes of law in a republic, one for high and one for low." "A mistaken notion exists in the minds of many of our people that Negroes want social equality with the whites. They do not. They are satisfied with their own society; with Colored young men marrying Colored girls; with the companionship of their own race in their own homes; with the building up of their social institutions; they are as sensitive in the presence of inappropriate situations as white people are, and are just as adverse to forcing themselves upon people who do not desire their presence." S. I. A. C. Meeting Ladies of the Self-Improvement Art club met Monday afternoon with Mrs. Ennis Bell, 614 East Madison street, and enjoyed a pleasant social hour. The club ladies presented their president, Mrs. George Caldwell, with a beautiful scarf as a token of esteem and appreciation of her services. The next meeting will be with Mrs. J. T. Lucas, 608 South Ninth avenue. From El Paso, Tex.— Mrs. Mary Davis of El Paso, Tex., arrived in the city this week and is the house guest of Mrs. Maynard on South 3rd avenue. CAN YOU BEAT IT?

Address, Phoenix Tribune Box 1052 Phoenix, Ariz. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PREDICTED THAT G. O. P WILL AGAIN TAKE OVER REINS OF GOVERNMENT (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31. Last week Washington was filled with distinguished visitors who were here to make careful plans in the interest of the good old party of Lincoln and Roosevelt, which undoubtedly will again take over the reins of the nation in 1920 and, as Bert Williams would say, "bring back the good old days of yore." The Willard was packed from cellar to garret with all varieties and species of the grand old party—big bugs and little bugs all together—last week in the nation's capital, and all were equally jubilant concerning the prospects of a successful campaign, and a subsequent republican victory. On Thursday evening of last week the Eagle Crusader tendered a banquet to the visiting Colored states men and politicians. Among those who attended were: John Weil, Missouri; Col. Judson Lyons, Georgia; Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia; O. McKain, New York; Dr. Watson, Georgia; Dr. Sherrriod, Mississippi; Glicchrist Stewart, New York; H. Phillips, Capt. Charles Love, Col. Charles Young, J. A. Lankford, Indiana; M. M. Harris, M. J. Clifford, E. P. Booze (Mississippi; J. G. Robbinson, Tennessee; Dr. Watson, Att.; A. W. Scott, Paul D. Scott, D. C.; R. W. Thompson, John R. Royal, New York; Ben Davis, etc. The committee responsible for the arrangements consisted of Judge R. H. Terrell, Mr. J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Eagle; Att. G. Hayes and Mr. John R. Williams. CHANDLER (By Mrs. Mayme Henderson) Mr. and Mrs. Jack Grey and Mr. Walter McConnel left Monday for Blythe, Cal., to look after mining interests there.

Mrs. Bouie Entertains On Christmas day the home of Mrs. Gable Bouie 822 East Jefferson street, was the scene of a brilliant social affair. A delightful dinner consisting of turkey with all the trimmings engaged the attention of the many guests present. Among those to enjoy the hospitality of this home were Mr. Brown of Mesa, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas of Ogden, Utah; Mrs. Butler of Phoenix and others. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, JANUARY 3, 1920 ART RACE Colonel Charles Young Suggests "Liberty" As a Substitute For Monuments NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Col. Chas. Young, highest ranking Negro officer in the United States army, urged the people of his race, at a meeting in St. Mark's church, under the auspices of the National Urban League, not to vote for anyone at the coming election who had not promised the Negroes equality. Colonel Young, who is en route to Liberia, where he is to serve as military attache to the American embassy, spoke on "The Place of the Negro in the Present Reconstruction." He said that congress, instead of erecting a monument to the Negroes who fell in the war, could give a far more lasting memorial by granting the people of his race the liberty for which some of them had given their lives. GLOBE--MIAMI By Mrs. Wm. Young Hawkins Chapel A. M. E. church is alive spiritually as well as financially and is progressing nicely under the able leadership of the pastor, Rev. D. R. Rivers. Mrs. C. F. Watkins has returned from a visit to El Paso, Tex. She expects to return and engage in the hog raising business there. Rev. Wm. Young returned last week from New Mexico and Texas, where he has been looking after his oil interests. It looks like Rev. Young will soon be numbered among the oil kings. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Watkins, Mesdames Willie Burr and Howard and Miss Josie McMillen of Miami were Sunday visitors in Globe. Mr. Staten was a welcome visitor at the missionary meeting last Monday evening and delivered an interesting talk to the ladies. Mr. M. Young also was a visitor and favored us with a few remarks that were well received. Mrs. B. Taylor, president of the Missionary society, knows how to arouse interest and help the church in a financial way. Keep up the good work, sister. Mr. and Mrs. Stephens were Sunday visitors in Globe. Rev. Wm. Young was the dinner guest Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart. Why not a Masonic Grand Lodge for Arizona Masons? Brethren, the opportunity looms big on the horizon. Get busy. PHOENIX CHURCHES A.

PREACHER ASSAUTED BECAUSE OF STAND AGAINST IMMORAILTY (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Two hundred and fifty dollars has been offered by the congregation of the Bridge Street African M. E. church for the arrest of the person who assaulted its pastor, the Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter. Some time ago the preacher denounced from the pulpit persons who rented rooms for what he clearly stated were immoral purposes. The next morning a letter came to the Carpenter home at 182 Duffield street, threatening vengeance if the Rev. Mr. Carpenter did not stop "that sort" of sermoning. However, the following Sunday the divine continued his fight against the devil. Two days later his door bell rang, and the preacher answering the call himself, found a tall man standing on the steps. Without a word, the man struck Mr. Carpenter over the head with a bundle he was carrying—a bundle which contained a cobblestone. Mr. Carpenter was knocked unconscious and was found several minutes later by his wife. The police of the Adams street station were notified, but no arrests were made, so the board of trustees of the church voted to offer the reward. WINSLOW By Mrs. S.

Colored Woman Appointed Notary Public By Governor of State of Massachusetts Boston, Mass., Dec. 31.—In the State of Massachusetts women were first permitted to enter the three great professions of medicine, law and the ministry, as well as many other lines of professional and business life. Among the young business and professional women of Boston and New England who have come to the front is Miss Victorial Blackwell, stenographer and advertising specialist, who has had the honor to be appointed a notary public by Governor Calvin Coolidge. Miss Blackwell, as far as known, is the first young woman of the Negro Race to receive such an appointment in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She is a graduate of the Centre High school, '03, Norwalk Conn., and Bryant and Stratton Commercial College, '06, Boston, Mass. Miss Blackwell, whose education was acquired wholly by personal effort, private study and contact with the business world, stands today in the forefront of representative Colored American women because she has by energy and clear-sighted business capacity succeeded in building up a large and profitable business in the field of stenography and typewriting among many of the best firms in Greater Boston. She merits special commendation for her success in a field where she is the first of her race in Boston to establish a public service and win recognition by strict attention to the fundamental principles which constitute a sound business. Washingtons Are Hosts— Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Washington of 1421 East Van Buren street were hosts at a delightful dinner Christmas. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. E. S. P. Dawson, Mr. and Mrs. S. W.

W. W.'S ATTEMPT TO ENLIST BLACKS IN RACE WAR ARIZONA I. W. W.'S ATTEMPT TO ENLIST BLACKS IN RACE WAR (Special to The Tribune) DOUGLAS, Ariz., Dec. 31.—Enlistment of Negroes in a race war was one of the plans of the I. W. W., according to circulars seized by United States officials in recent raids on radical headquarters here. One of the pamphlets addressed to Negroes recited a long list of alleged wrongs suffered from the whites and invited them to join the I. W. W. on a plan of equality with the white members. A small circular addressed to "Distributors of I. W. W. literature," says: "Extra activity in reaching the Negro is desired. We do not exactly want him in the organization, but we want him to help stir up unrest and general disorder. "The Negro is rapidly rising to a high position in useful citizenship and social standing. We need to break this up. If we can disassociate him from his present tendencies to what they call good citizenship and get capital down on him, we can drop him out of the association later." (By Archie Lewis) Mr. Charles Brown, an old-time Rayite, was back in camp last week meeting his old friends. Mr. Brown lived here in 1916. He spent fourteen months in France as a member of the 369th infantry (the old N. Y. 15th National Guard). While in France he was a machine gunner and took part in many major engagements, chief among them being the battle of Champagne, Snake Hill, and the Argonne. Mr. Brown says that after being in the trenches and having so many thrilling adventures, he is very glad to get back to Arizona. After spending Xmas here, he returned to his home in Phoenix last Sunday. Miss Elizabeth Crump and Mr. Forest Burney left last Sunday for Phoenix. Miss Crump goes to visit her mother and sisters and Mr. Burney goes to jazz around a bit and get rid of the after.effect of Sunny Sides' "home brew." Curtis Watkins came over from Phoenix to spend the holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abe Bueford. A dance was given by the Cactus Club at Smith's hall on Xmas eve. A number of people came over from Hayden. After the first or second dance the lights went out and the musicians got full of "white mule," but in spite of that, those who attended report an enjoyable time. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Haines spent Xmas in Hayden as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Clark. Mr. Willus Wright of Superior passed through Ray one day last week on his way to Hayden to spend Xmas with his mother. The Cactus Club was entertained by Mrs. Mose Davis last Sunday evening at her residence. Turkey sandwiches, shrimp salad, cake and coffee were served and the ladies spent a pleasant social hour. Mr. W. S. Boyd, general manager of the Ray Consolidated, presented a nice Xmas tree loaded down with toys to the children of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Lewis. A real treat for the little folks, and they enjoyed it immensely. By Alphonso Robinson Miss Juanita Gillespie left last week for El Paso, where she will spend several weeks visiting relatives and friends. Mr. Lonnie Taylor is the proud owner of a five-passenger touring car. Mrs. Cora West paid a visit to the capital city last week. She has been visiting in the valley the past month and will return to her home in Texas soon. Mr. G. Taylor has returned from a pleasant visit to his old home in Oklahoma. Mr. John Lee and family have moved into their new home. An old-fashioned Christmas was celebrated in Mesa.

COLORED LAD SINGS WAY OUT OF JAIL; JUDGE AIDS HIM TO CAREER Dallas, Tex., Dec. 31.—Sitting hud, dled in a chair in juvenile court here, a diminutive yellow negro, 11 years old, recently sang himself from a charge of bicycle theft.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING COLORED CITIZENS OF NORFOLK, VA., ARE MOST PROGRESSIVE (By Associated Negro Press) NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 31—Many and varied are the enterprises conducted by our group in Norfolk, Va. The city has felt the impetus of industry caused by the recent war and as many of the camps were located near here naturally civilians followed, and of course our people came, too. The latest reports credit Norfolks with 78,750 Negroes. Among such a large number assembled from many places, there are many of the "he can, who thinks he can" type, and as a result they are putting their heads together and their money into racial enterprises that are employing men and women of their group. As an evidence of the progress that is being made in Norfolk, we will give a few citations. The Tidewater Bank and Trust company, with an authorized capital of $250,000 opened the 9th of June and has now $386,763.51 in resources. This is remarkable growth in five months. There is the Brown Savings bank with more than $750,000 in resources. The Attucks theater is being built by a hundred thousand dollar corporation organized this year. A $50,000 drug corporation is being organized. A $25,000 shoe store has been organized and the building purchased on Church street, in which they will soon open for business; about five months ago five men organized a baking company and opened a bakery on Church street; already they are forced to obtain larger quarters. They have purchased across the street from their present location and are erecting a commodious building fitted for their needs. A $50,000 development corporation was organized here this summer and they have secured contracts for and are erecting the Attucks theater, three churches and several dwellings. There are three building and loan associations here in our group and all are doing big business. The climax is being reached in the organization of a million dollar fire insurance company. LYNCHING RECORD, 1919 According to the record compiled by Monroe N. Work, of the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, there were, 82 lynchings in 1919, of which 77 were in the South and 5 in the North and west.

Plan More Extensive And Intensive Education Of Colored SchoolTeachers (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Probably the most promising of all the solutions recently advanced for the racial problem in the United States is that looking toward the more extensive and intensive education of Colored school teachers for Colored school children. Education is, of course, the basis for all progress in civilization. And, equally, of course, the character of the teachers determines the character of the education. Do you know, however, that more than half of the Colored teachers in southern public schools have an education of less than the equivalent of six elementary grades? The majority of these are paid $22.48 per month, or an average of $80.92 for the school year of four months! And yet intelligent and high-spirited Negro girls, convinced that their first duty to their race is to raise the standards of education, are yearly seeking adequate training as teachers, only to find that the few training schools are overcrowded and unable to accommodate them, and at best give inadequate training. At least three colleges—Atlanta, Howard and Fisk—are prepared to do teachers' college work; of Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn—the second largest university in the world for Colored men and women—President Fayette Avery McKensie said recently: "The continued heavy registration of young women has been almost surprising." Annually the number of applications of Negro girls to Fisk is far in excess of the ability of the university to provide for them. Students of our racial problem are unanimous in paying tribute to the services of these college-trained Negro girls in raising the standards of their race. They have gone out from the college to every corner of the South, most of them as teachers, some as school supervisors, some as nurses. In the home economics field, in welfare work, in spreading a knowledge of hygiene and child care and the desire for better home conditions, the work of these women has been beyond compare. In the case of Fisk university, for example, fully half of the 1500 living graduates and 4000 former students are teaching and have under their direction and influence no fewer than 80,000 of the Colored children of the South. Fortunately the greater part of the South is now recognizing the value of these services, and is beginning to provide adequate training school facilities for its Negro school teachers. Negro educational institution and organizations are wholeheartedly co-operating—notably Fisk university, itself, which this week launches its $2,000,000 campaign, part of the object of which is to build a model teaching training school on the college grounds. America For Americans Is Slogan of Virginians (By Associated Negro Press) RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 31.-Members of the executive committee of the Colored Citizens' Patriotic league at an informal conference lately with President James W. Poe, presiding, decided to take steps to form an Interstate Colored Loyal association as an auxiliary of the league, to join in a petition to the United States senate foreign relations committee to oppose favorable consideration of the appeal made to it some time ago by a committee of forty-eight Colored men, led by a Colored man from Oklahoma, asking for aid to form an independent state for Colored people, made up of 500 square miles of territory to be acquired from the Carranza government of Mexico and a like number of square miles from the state of Texas in the United States, placing the proposed independent Colored state partly in Mexico and a like number of square miles from the state of Texas in the United States and partly in Texas. The committee opposes any negotiations with Mexico for any part of its territory for this purpose, especially at a time when there are such strained relations between the two countries. President Poe said that the Interstate association would stand for "America for Americans," whether white or black, native or naturalized. Christmas Dinner— Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

MOTON SOCIALISTS PLAN TAKES DECIDED STAND EXTENSIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST LAWLESSNESS AMONG OUR GROUP (By Associated Negro Press) SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 31.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, spoke here before the house of southern governors in their executive session, when they took up the matter of race relations. Dr. Moton was present at the invitation of Governor Hugh M. Dorsey and he was one of the representatives of the southern sociological congress. In his address Dr. Moton strongly denounced mob violence, lynching and all forms of lawlessness in which Colored people were the sufferers. He referred to Jim Crow cars, relating some of his own experiences in traveling and strongly urged that some effort should be made to improve traveling accommodations for the Colored people. He referred also to the migration of Colored people, stating that it was his observation and his belief that there was more unrest among the Colored people at present than ever before, and this he felt was due to the lynching and other forms of lawlessness "White people," he said, "make the laws, interpret the laws and execute the laws, and there is no danger of likelihood that any criminal Colored man will escape punishment that he might deserve, when once he is carried into court." Among the prominent white people present at the conference were Governor Dorsey, Governor Cooper of South Carolina, Governor Roberts of Tennessee, Governor Bickett of North Carolina, Dr. J. E. McCulloch, secretary of the southern sociological congress, and Mr. W. Woods White of Atlanta. Among the prominent Colored people present were Dr. R. R. Wright of Savannah, Mr. B. F. Huberts of Orangeburg, S. C.; Dr. W. M. Reddick of America, Warren Logan and A. L. Holsey of Tuskegee Institute.

KASHMIR CHEMICAL COMPANY 312 South Clark Street, Chicago Dept. 00000 (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—The Socialist party is planning to carry on extensive agitation among Negroes, according to an announcement made by the national executive committee of that organization now in session here. The committee, which meeting daily at the People's House, No. 7 East Fifteenth street, refused to give any information whatever to the "capitalist" press on the ground that its chairman, James O'Neal, was misquoted by one paper. Announcement of the intention to conduct an agitation among Negroes was made in the Call, the socialist organ. It comes at the time that the I. W. W. is taking steps in that direction, with the special plea to Negroes that the "one big union" is the only organization that has no color line. The Socialist party some years PETER J. BROWN DR. W.
