AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THE TRIBUNE IS A DIRECT PERSONAL APPEAL TO COLORED PEOPLE PHOENIX VOLUME II. NO. 46 SOCIALISM IS URGED ON COLORED PEOPLE BY RADICAL ELEMENT (Special To The Tribune) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 11.—Socialism was proposed as the educational salvation of the colored race by Chandler Owens and A. Phillip Randolph, editors of the Messenger, a socialist journal published in New York, in addresses before a gathering of 1,000 people last week in John Wesley African Methodist Episcopal church, Mr. Neval Thomas, a high school teacher, presided. The meeting was scheduled to be held several weeks ago in Dunbar high school and was called off because of the protest of Senator Reed Smoot, who was denounced as a "senatorial lackey of the capitalist interests." ```markdown ``` Mr. Randolph charged the larger educational institutions of the country with capitalistic control, instancing alleged control by traction interests of the Washington school system, the trustees of colored colleges and universities, he said, are the servants of the money interests who exploit the colored man for industrial purposes. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard university, was denounced as a tool of the capitalistic class. Chandler Owens denounced the classics of literature used in schools. He advocated the substitution of modern writers, among them Robert Ingersoll, and several colored authors. The work on Soviet government by Rhys Williams would be permitted general circulation, he said, but for the "asininity of those who control the school systems." The large audience which greeted the speakers was very enthusiastic, interrupting each speaker many times and at the conclusion of the meeting a large number of subscribers were obtained and a voluntary collection was taken up amounting to several hundred dollars. BISBEE An elaborate dinner was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Worsham on Sunday February 8, at 7 o'clock. A color scheme of pink and white was used throughout.

The guest list included Mr. and Mrs. John White, Mrs. R. J. Walker, Miss Helen McHenry, Miss Cora Reed, Mr. Harry Richardson, Miss Mabel Smith and the host and hostess.

FLORENCE An event which will be interesting to many is the marriage of Miss Anable Fridia of Texas and California to Mr. B. B. Moore, who came from Ray. The wedding was solomenized by the Rev. Joel Liniger at the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Leos in the Florence hotel, on Friday night, February 6th. Following the ceremony an elaborate supper was served, covers being laid for nine. The bride has been a resident of Florence for the past year, coming here from Texas and California. Mr. Moore is quite well known in Prescott and Jerome, having lived there for six or seven years. We wish them a happy and prosperous married life. The colored population of Florence made quite a sudden increase last week, when eight families, comprising forty persons, came in from Oklahoma to work on the cotton ranches west of town. We hope they will like our town well enough to make their home with us. Before their arrival the colored population numbered seven. Florence and the Florence-Casa Grande valley are coming to the front wonderfully fast. Quite a good acreage was planted to cotton and the gin is running full blast. Building is progressing rapidly. Two new garages are under construction, also quite a few new residences. Even with the rapid building, the demand exceeds the supply and newcomers are hunting every day for a place to stay. All we need for this valley is the water, which is already promised us in the San Carlos dam, and this will be as good as Salt River valley, if not better. Mr. U. S. Kay and family, who formerly lived in Tucson, are still in Florence and doing fine. Mr. Kay is the only Negro barber in the town and has a good business. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Leos are still managing the Hotel Cafe and Cozy Cafe, where they have been for the past four years. They report business fine and the town prosperous, so much so, in fact, that they are considering another lease for five years.

TRIBUNE PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FEBRUARY 14, 1920 New York Voters Want Congressmen Elected From Members of Race NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—A national movement has been launched to obtain representation of Negroes in Congress.

Robert Lewis Waring is chairman of the committee and is sending a circular broadcast to Negroes throughout, the country asking their aid in sending Negroes to Congress. GLOBE--MIAMI Editor, Phoenix Tribune. Dear Sir: A few words to Tribune readers: I notice in a recent issue of the Phoenix Tribune an appeal to the Colored people for donation in behalf of the Little Rock riot sufferers who are under sentence of death and desire to have their cases appealed to a higher court for review. I know nothing of the merit of their cases, except what is stated in that notice of appeal to the people. However, I take it that no such appeal would be made unless it was done in the case of absolute justice and that some wrong had been done to the accused. I believe in giving to every one a fair and impartial trial whatever the merit of the case may be, and that the innocent should not be made to suffer for the guilty. If their cases involved the question of self-defense, it should be considered and judged accordingly. We know that human nature at its best is weak and likely to err, and especially under stress of sudden excitement, but self-preservation is nature's first law and that must be considered. I inclose the asked for contribution willingly and sincerely trust that their appeal may be successfully prosecuted and their lives be spared for future usefulness to their families and friends. Last Sunday was communion day at St. John's Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. Wm. Young, and the missionary sisters had a little misunderstanding Sunday evening, but they kissed and made up as all true Baptists do. Mrs. Warren T. Jackson is visiting in Louisiana and Texas.

Witnesses were not put on the stand in their behalf, Governor McCall of Massachusetts in 1918 denied extradition of John Johnson, Negro, to West Virginia on similar grounds. "The association announces that it has taken steps to employ counsel to oppose extradition of Hill to Arkansas."

THE VOICE OF MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH We shall be glad for the readers of The Tribune to note the fact that we are doing a real constructive work in the Mile-High City, Prescott, the county seat of Yavapai county, and in the state of Arizona. Our work is growing by leaps and bounds, yes, we were blessed with four bright converts and one backslider reclaimed in our regular service on Sunday night, February 1st. We are also being blessed with an appreciative congregation Sunday after Sunday. The choir is doing a great work under the direction of Mrs. L. Hines. The Sunday school work is truly making progress through the effort of Bro. L. A. McCarty and Sister Youngblood. Mrs. P. R. Newell is putting forth earnest efforts to place the work of the B. Y. P. U. on an apex of success. The financial side of the work is being carefully looked after by the finance committee or by Bro. Thos. E. Hines, the chairman of this committee, assisted by the church clerk, Sister M. W. Mack, notwithstanding the fact that Bro. Hines is a very busy real estate dealer, yet because of his zealousness the financial side of the work is going over the top each week. The offering on February 1st amounted to fifty-four dollars ($54.00). A part of this wonderful success is due to some very active work done by Sister L. Hines doing the week with envelopes.

Steward are wearing a broad smile because of the arrival of a fine boy. The chicken dinner given at the home of Mrs. M. Jones, 104 East Fifth street, was not quite the success that the committee had hoped it to be. Though few attended, quite a nice sum was realized. The apron and necktie social given by the Willing Workers' Circle, No. 2, at Mt. Calvary Baptist church, was quite a success, there being a large number present and all of the refreshments sold out. The committee of ladies who served deserve much credit for the efficient manner in which the entertainment was carried out. Mrs. White, president; Miss Beulah Jordan, secretary. Sunday was another rally day at the A. M. E. church for the building funds. Despite the rainy weather a few were out to services.

The ceremony was solemnized by Rev, C. A. Gilmore, pastor of the Second Baptist church, was witnessed only by a few friends and relatives. After March 1st the newly-weds will be at home to their friends at the above address. A Correction In publishing an account of the death of Mrs. Patsy Stroter and the card of thanks which followed, several names of relatives of the deceased were inadvertently oimtted. A daughter, Mrs. Josie White, and her husband, Mr. A. J. White; a son, Mr. Ben Stroter, two grandchildren, Edgar and Chalmers Harrington, should have been mentioned in all previous articles. Carelessness on the part of a reporter is responsible for the omission. Oh. Joy!...it's a Boy! Mr. and Mrs. Chester Maryland of 1030 East Washington street are happy because of the birth of a bouncing baby boy, Friday, February 6th. The mother and son are doing fine. The father, who is employed at the Corner Drug store, is wearing a broad smile that refuses to come off. Congratulations! A Reminder Patronize Tribune advertisers and you can't go wrong. Frank L.

Freeing 50,000 girls from Turkish harems and caring for them is one of the gigantic tasks undertaken by the Near East Relief. Homes are being established for those who have escaped from slavery. Many remain to be rescued, but this work cannot be undertaken until more funds have been placed at the disposal of the committee. Sixty per cent of the entire population of Igdir died in the typhus epidemic, according to reports received by the Near East Relief. Underfed women and children are dying like sheep in some of the devastated districts of the Near East. America has been called upon to relieve a condition of suffering which knows no parallel in all history. Join the Near East Relief. Arizona has been called upon to adopt 1,000 Armenian orphans through the Near East Relief. You can do your part by pledging $5.00 to $15.00 per month for the year 1920, or by urging your lodge or your class to do so. Soup is saving Syria, not the thin, watery concoction of the traditional boarding house of the newspaper humorists, but real, honest-to-goodness soup, thick, and not only filling, but sustaining, an appetizing mixture with beef and more often mutton as its base and thickened with good beans or rice, the odors of all commingling deliciously in the vapor from the steaming pots. Soup and bread, the latter sometimes made from American flour but more often from Arab grain, are remaking the Syrians. Starved for four long years with a hunger death roll of at least 40 per cent, the people now regard America and the Near East Relief as their saviours. They throng the soup kitchens in Beirut and the larger towns, they wait in long lines in villages and hill towns for the motor trucks and the donkey trains, and even the man transports that convey the soup and bread from the Near East Relief centers to the outlying districts. Soup is indeed saving Syria, for the bodies and faces of the survivors are rounding out and the smiles are returning to the faces of men, women and children, smiles that come to the faces of the elders in spite of the memories of four long years of starvation and horrors. American made soup, supplied by American money, is given to all regardless of race or creed. It goes to almost inaccessible villages perched high on the crags of Mt. Lebanon on perched along the Mediterranean. It is the backbone of Near East Relief work among a grateful people who up to a few months ago were steadily being exterminated by starvation but who now are beginning to come back. Great is soup in Syria. The River Shannon has overflowed its banks and many villages, notably Athlone, have been abandoned, the inhabitants taking refuge on higher ground. The entire districts in Connaught and Leinster bordering on the river present the appearance of a vast lake. Smoking in eating places would be prohibited under a bill passed to second reading by the South Carolina state senate. Restaurant and hotel keepers would be required to display "no-smoking" signs and enforce the rule under penalty. EDDIE KIDD. Mrs. EDDIE KIDD.
