AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THE TRIBUNE IS A DIRECT PERSONAL APPEAL TO COLORED PEOPLE PHOENIX VOLUME II. NO. 49 LARGEST NEGRO BANK IN THE WORLD WILL SOON OPEN TO PUBLIC (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., March 3.—The largest banking and trust company in the world owned, controlled and operated by members of the colored race, with its home office in Atlanta and branches scattered throughout the United States, is being organized and it is expected will shortly be opened for business.

The hundred dollars will clear the church of a debt that has been hanging over it for some time and has hindered us in our work. We want to rid ourselves of this burden so that the old Ship of Zion may said on, free from worldly snares. Sunday school at 10 a. m., peaching at 11 a. m., and 8 p. m. Come over in Macedonia and help us A pretty wedding ceremony was performed Saturday evening, February 28th, at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Edward Jones in Pirtleville, when their daughter, Miss Bessie Jones became the bride of Mr. Norman King. Pink and white, the color scheme, was beautifully carried out with chains of pink and white hearts swung artistically across the room. Pink and white carnations were used in effective decoration and added to the attractiveness and solemnity of the occasion. The bride wore a beautiful white silk gown and was attended by Miss Julia Sturgis as bride's maid. The groom wore the conventional black and was attended by Mr. D. C. Padillo, who acted as best man. Mrs. Kelon sang a beautiful solo entitled "Because." Mrs. Maguines played the wedding march and Rev. Major Jones read the ceremony. Mr. King is to be congratulated on his selection of such a sweet girl for his life partner, as all who know her have learned to love her. The bride was for two years a student at St. Phillips' Industrial school, San Antonio, Texas. She came to Douglas with her parents a few years ago from Denver, Colo. The groom, a popular member of the younger set, is well known and liked by all. A delightful repast followed the wedding ceremony and was served by the following ladies: Mesdames White, L. Garrison, Brown, Roberts and Miss Ida Coleman. The newlyweds were the recipients of many beautiful presents. We trust they will find only smooth sailing upon the beautiful sea of matrimony. Tuskegee Fits Men To Withstand the Wiles of Enemies of Americanism (By Associated Negro Press) Syracuse, N. F., March 3.—Professor C. H. Robinson of the faculty of the Tuskegee institute is in Syracuse in the interest of that school for Negroes, founded by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. Professor, Robinson is himself a graduate of the institute. "Tuskegee was one of the units of the army training force during the war, "explains Prof. Robinson," and hundreds of its graduates and, undergraduates entered the service. Nearly all of them secured commissions and scores of them returned from France with the Croix de Guerre. "With the return of peace Tuskegee is anxious to meet the new demand for education and life equipment, the realization of the needs for which was engendered in the Negro's breast during his period of service. "The Negroes of America are not a fruitful field for bolshevism and kindred radicalism. Tuskegee seeks in every way to fit him to be better able to withstand the wiles of these enemies to Americanism." TUCSON (By Mrs. Wm. Blakeley) Rev. J. H.

Gustav Francis Beckh, a native of San Francisco, who is pastor of the Oakland Unitarian church here, has caused some comment by refusing to accept an increase of $250 in his stipend offered by his congregation. Dr. Beckh, who is married and has one child, receives $1,250 a year. He said many of his congregation had been hard hit by the war and that all the clergy have a right to ask is shelter, clothes, access to education for their children, and a minimum of leisure.

ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY CHILD MURDERER FACES DEATH IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., March 3.—Although the date of his execution is about here, nobody has tried to get Governor Smith to spare the life of Theodore Dixon, seventeen, known in Sing Sing as the "death house kid." His mother, who is his only relative, is in jail awaiting trial charged with the same murder of which he was convicted. He has had no visitors, and the Rev. Dr. A. N. Petersen, the Protestant chaplain, is the only person who has comforted him since he was placed in the condemned cells eight months ago. Since the electric chair was invented, thirty-one years ago, no prisoner under eighteen has been electrocuted. Prison attendants believe Dixon's sentence will be commuted if some one asks clemency for him. Dixon, who is a Negro, lived at 20 West 147th street, when he killed Margaret Morton, a Negro girl.

Throughout the discussion there was evident a spirit of good-will and tolerance and realization of the imperfections of human beings and human institutions. Chief Judge Morris A. Sopper, of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, admitted there was "actually no such thing as absolute equality of justice before the law." Judge Sopper did say, though, that "in Maryland, thank God! there is something approaching justice before the law to the Negro and the white man alike," that at least lives and property to all citizens are fairly safe in this country in contrast to some others. He mentioned the inevitable imperfections of human systems and of human theories and said that one of the best remedies for race antagonism was plain courtesy. FLAGSTAFF (By Reginald Jackson) Rev. R. E. Lewis and wife spent Sunday in Winslow. The Willing Workers' club met last week with Mrs. T. W.

TRIBUNE (By Associated Negro Press) Savannah, Ga., March 3.—After threatened trouble in Claxton, when twenty-five or thirty angry men stormed the Evans county court house and fired a volley of shots, Andrew Jones, an aged Negro, who was saved from the mob through the efforts of Sheriff T. W. Rogers, was brought to Savannah and locked in the Chatham county jail. The Negro had been taken to the court house by the sheriff for safekeeping. The trouble started about midnight, when the men demanded that the officers release Jones from their custody. When the sheriff refused, they opened fire. Several window panes were smashed, but no one was injured. J. G. Rogers, brother of the sheriff; T. L. Nevisl, N. H. Hodges and H. N. Lavis assisted the sheriff in dispersing the crowd. According to a statement by the sheriff, a young white man and a companion approached Jones on one of the principal streets of Claxton and began beating him. They accused him of turning up a party of moonshiners and knocked him down when he denied the charge. MESA (By Alphonso Robinson) Oklahoma is losing many of her valuable citizens, who are coming into this valley. Arrivals this week from Oklahoma were Mr. and Mrs. Porter, and family. We are glad to welcome them and invite others to come. Mrs. James Turner and family have moved into their new home and are enjoying life. They have a beautiful ranch home and Mrs. Turner may be seen any afternoon sitting on the porch in her comfortable rocker enjoying the pure, fresh country air. Services at the A. M. E. church were well attended last Sunday, and the pastor reports two new members added to his congregation. Mr. L. Wilson and family were Sunday visitors in Mesa.

Y., March 3.—The Board of Directors of the National Association of Negro Musicians vote to extend the time of charter memberships until July, 1920, the time of the second convention to be held in New York city. This organization tends to promote fellowship, fraternity, mutual encouragement and helpful criticism. Is it not true that professional jealousy is the bane of the Negro musician? Here is an opportunity to come together, to discuss conditions and the means of improving them, to pledge everlasting friendship and good will. Do you realize what a trenmendous moral weapon the Negro holds by virtue of his wonderful music? Negro music if used as propaganda might easily become the most potent factor in ameliorating conditions, softening prejudice and creating an understanding between the races. Unquestionably it presents one of the most attractive phases of Negro temperament. Even our worst enemies cannot altogether ignore it. RACE PROBLEM MOVES WITH THE BLACK MAN (By Associated Negro Press) (By Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., March 3.—In a talk on the Negro race in America, Mrs. H. S. Prentiss Nichols, president of the New Century Club, at a reciprocity meeting of the Emerson Club at the Plastic Club headquarters, declared that the great racial problem of the South had moved to the North. She said that one hundred thousand Negroes had recently migrated to Philadelphia. Dr. Harry R.

Young) Mrs. Bedford Taylor is improving from the effects of the recent operation performed on her throat. Rev. and Mrs. Wm. Young, Mr. Warren T. Jackson, Mrs. Bates and Unis were dinner gguests of Mrs. M. N. Young on last Sunday. Get busy, St. John Baptist church.

All were glad to see him. Rev. Young returned last week from Phoenix, where he went to attend the meeting of the Inter-Church World Movement. He states that the meetings were quite interesting. DR. DUBOIS WRITES ANOTHER NEW BOOK "Darkwater" the Most Powerful Appeal for Justice Ever Published Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the editor of the Crisis, has just written a new book. It is called "Darkwater," and was published on February 26th by the great New York publishing firm of Harcourt, Brace & Howe. Have you ever read DuBois' "Souls of Black Folk"? It was written seventeen years ago, and is now in its eleventh edition. Everywhere—in America, in Europe, in Africa—it has thrilled men with its picture of the sufferings of an oppressed race. But "Darkwater," DuBois' new book, is even more powerful. It is a human document of extraordinary intensity and insight, expressing the awakened conscience and aspirations of the darker races everywhere, and will live as long as there is an oppressed race in the world. No one has ever described with greater power and beauty what it is like to be a black man in a white world. No one has ever made a nobler and more powerful appeal for justice ever black folk. Most people think that the Negro problem is one thing, and the problem of work or wages or education or government is another thing. But that is just what Dr. DuBois does not believe. He proves that if you solve the problems of work and wages and education and government in the right way, you will solve the Negro problem at the same time. There is no color problem apart from these other problems. To make this clear he has described his own childhood, training and outlook on the world as a Negro; and to show the vast emotional content of the social problem, he has inserted between the chapters bits of poetry and fancy, which interpret the wilderment, the disappointment, the longing, and the faith of millions of men. The book ends with a brief philosophy of beauty and death, and a story and a hymn looking toward human unity. It is a thoroughly human book from beginning to end. Of course, everybody knows Dr. DuBois, who since Booker T. Washington's death is without question the greatest man of African blood in the world. And all our readers will want a copy, and you can get one by sending a money order or check (with ten cents extra for postage) to the publishers, or, if you will send $2 to this newspaper, we shall be glad to get a copy for you. Opening of a new gyro-compass school at the Mare Island navy yard is announced by the navy department, open to all electricians in the navy who have served one year. The new school is opening to meet the needs of the Pacific fleet. 5 CENTS A COPY; $2.50 a YEAR TYPE OF JOURNALISTS WHO CAUSE FRICTION BETWEEN THE RACES (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, March 3. "As long as the newspapers of the South continue to publish such clap-trap stories," said a substantial citizen, "there will be unrest among colored people, and they will continue to migrate North." He then handed the Associated Negro Press the following clipping from the Birmingham News: "Commissioner Henry Page Burruss, dignified and scholarly in bearing, stood excitedly before the door to the city hall sanctum. He gazed ruefully at the two long rows of black faces before him; He stood in his doorway and addressed the leader of the V-shaped audience. "Now, as I understand it, this is a labor demonstration," he began. As a matter of fact, the African delegation appeared in protest to some rule in the street department that prevented certain hours for rest and crap shooting. It was another kick aimed at Old Man Toil. "The commissioner of public utilities studied his crowd. "As I was saying, this seems to be a protestant gathering. Who is the leader of the revolutionists?" He looked inquiringly from face to face "Whut 'bout ouah wages, speshully w'en it's rainin' and we gits wet an' dey an' no work to be done, an' we gits docked an' again w'en we doan show up foah wuk one day we gits docked two?" The inquiry, delivered in a high-pitched tone, could not misunderstand. The Negro was earnest. Commissioner Burrus seemed greatly impressed. Suddenly his eyes grew angry. "See here," he said; "I do not like your spirit. It is a certainty that I shall tolerate no impudence from you. Now, do you intend to attempt a campaign of intimidation here, or what is your purpose? Have you been conducting clandestine meetings, organizing the recalcitrant workers, and disseminating the seeds of discontent—answer me?" The Negro was plainly awed: "An' w'en de foahman say, 'you' niggha gotta git heah early in de mawnin' an' w'en we gits heah dey ain' no wuk—" "Stop where you are, the commissioner thundered. "I will have no more of this. In a comparatively short period of time—say, two minutes, the city shall dispense with your services. It is a question with me, right now, as to wether to retain you or to permit you to sever your connection with the street department." "Naw, suh," replied the Negro. "The trouble with you is that you are a trouble-maker," retorted the irate commissioner. "What is your name?" "Gawge, suh." "Well, George, I shall take up no time with you. It will be a matter of remarkable ease to bring about the consummation of the promise I made a few moments ago regarding the separation of your name from the municipal payroll. Do you desire to retain your connection with the municipality?" "Well, I come heah to wuk," the Negro said, subdued by the impassioned and fervent eloquence of his superior. "Yes, yes; and I feel constrained to say that you have made a most ignoble and unparalleled failure to achieve that for which you now say you came to the municipality. I repeat that I do not like your spirit. Are you an agitator?" "We wuz gittin' a dolllah an' a quatah a day, an' w'en dey docks——" "Now, I shall terminate this interview without delay," the chief of the street department cut in. "Do you desire to remain in the employ of the street department, or shall I follow a rule that is almost one of my idiosyncrasies and bring about your expulsion?" "Naw, suh," said the Negro. "What we wanna know is, c'n we git de back wages w'n it rains and we cain't wuk?" THERE IS NO EXCUSE In primitive communities where such means of justice are lacking, or in communities where the courts are corrupt or incompetent and do not act with decision and unsparing severity, there is excuse for the assumption of power to punish by the people themselves; where these conditions do not exist, there is no such excuse.

Judging from the large number of Negroes who attended the performance of Washburn's minstrels Wednesday night at the Elks' theatre, they like to be jim-crowed. A news item stated that the management had reserved the entire balcony for Negroes. This in itself was enough to keep any self-respecting Negro from attending the performance. The well-thinking Colored people of this city are justly indignant because of certain jim-crow methods which are already in vogue, and for some of our group to attend a show that has advertised the fact that they will be jim-crowed if they attend, is adding insult to injury. It appears that we have real work to do among members of our own group, towards teaching them the value of self-respect, race pride and the use of a little common sense.

Few dallies accept news up to the last minute, unless it be very important. If we delay the paper and accept a piece of news that comes in late, there's a howl because the paper is not delivered on time. If we go to press on time and leave out the matter that comes in late, there's another howl because "our town" was not represented.

We are determined to get out our paper on time and unless your matter reaches us before Wednesday, it will not appear until the next issue. We are not unmindful of the string of letters which comes to us regularly, some criticising and others commending our method of conducting and editing the Tribune. We have had less than two years' experience as a journalist and know our own short-comings. Any organization or individual who attempts to do something will make mistakes. The only person who makes no mistakes is the man who is doing nothing and making no effort to do anything. Since this is true, we do not feel discouraged because we are criticised, for it is then we realize that we are at least trying to do something.

But a mote and a beam which we might in international relations." MAGAZINE PROFITEERS PLACA MARCHED THRO The Wall Street Journal, the greatest and most influential financial publication in the country, draws the "deadly parallel" in discussing the Negro and Irsih questions. It says: "With no intention of comparing the supersensitive Irishman to the Negro, but to draw an instructive international parallel, it is necessary to supplement the merely business comment made in these volumes, on the attempt to raise money for Irish propaganda by means of receipts for subscriptions improperly and deceptively called "bonds." That our immense present strength in the world protects us from British resentment of what is nevertheless an offense against international good feeling goes without question. "But let us imagine a close parallel. Let us suppose the Negroes of the former slave states, intelligently and unscrupuously led, resented the failure to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. Let us suppose that they formed a party for agitation, at home and abroad. Let us further assume that they kept the loyal white minority in constant costly uncertainty and alarm. Let us suppose that they called this party of agitation a 'republic,' and sent representatives to stir up feeling in England against the American government." "Substituting, purely for supposition of course, 'Negro' for 'Nationalist', these delegates in England would be substantially in the same position as De Valera and his following now occupy in the United States. There would be exactly the same appeal to sympathy, because, to offset the Irish in America, there are colored races presumably in sympathy with our Negroes, greatly outnumbering them even as our Irish are said to outnumber the present inhabitants of Ireland. "Exactly as the Irish agitator here pleads that the Ulsterman, a convinced supporter of British rule, should be ignored because of a voting minority, so the Negro agitator in Britain might demand that the white minority of the population of the former Confederate states should also be ignored in the process of what he would undoubtedly call, like Mr. De Valera, 'self-determination.' "It would be absurd also to tell the Englishman that he was unable to understand a purely domestic problem, like that our American Negro presents. Not only could he tell us, with considerable truth that he had been successfully governing colored races before we were weaned. He would only need to point to the all-pervading red on the map of the world to prove his case. "Under British law no such Negro bond issue could even be offered to the public. Under British good faith such an issue would not be tolerated even if it were legal. Fortunately we are in no danger. But there is an old parable about a mote and a beam which we might more frequently apply in our international relations." A NEW MAGAZINE (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, March 3.—Announcement is made that within the next month there will be issued an edition of the most unusual magazine ever produced by our racial group. The name of the magazine is "To-Morrow" and it will have features dealing with the racial conditions of the present time such as they have not been treated anywhere else in the land. Claude A. Barnett is director and Nahum Daniel Brascher is editor-in-chief. The magazine is entirely independent of the Associated Negro Press.

LOCAL NEWS Thursday evening, February 26th, the A. M. E. church was the scene of a brilliant recital by Mrs. H. G. Jefferson, noted dramatist and elocutionist. A packed house greeted her on this occasion and she received round after round of applause. Again on Monday night, March 1st, Mrs. Jefferson faced an enthusiastic audience at the Second Baptist church and delivered an ambition-arousing lecture on the subject, "Getting the Most Out of Life." Her discourse, addressed principally to the boys and girls of the race, was a gem of rhetoric, filled with logic and good wholesome advice. Rev. Crawford and Prof. Landry responded and in a few well-chosen words attested the truths revealed in the lecture. Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson will leave this week for Albuquerque, N. M. Interesting Literary Society The Phoenix Literary Society, organized only a few weeks ago, is destined to become a mighty factor for good in this community. The meeting Friday night, February 28, at the C. M. E. church was indeed interesting. Miss Dolly Hackett recited, Editor Smith handled the current events, and the president opened the Question Box. One of the liveliest questions of the day was drawn, i.e., "How may we overcome prejudice?" Discussion of this subject by the body at large revealed a number of literary genii in our midst and brought out some of the latent oratorical power which has been lying dormant in our Phoenix Demosthenes. Every one present enjoyed the meeting and was glad he came. The society will meet every Friday night, alternately, at the C. M. E. and A. M. E. churches. This Friday evening, March 5, the grand debate will take place at the meeting at the A. M. E. church. All Phoenix invited to attend these meetings. No membership dues; no charge for admission. Just a plain, every-day literary society for the people of Phoenix. MIX Best Prices Our Chief ston Sto THE DAYLIGHT DEPARTMENT Mrs. W. C.

Johnson, Mrs. Maggie Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Henley of Tempe were Sunday visitors in Phoenix. They attended services at the A. M. E. church and Mr. and Mrs. Henly added their names to the roll of members. The other Tempeians already are members of this church. They conduct prayer services every Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson in Tempe and it was due principally to these services that Mr. and Mrs. Henly were persuaded to come over and connect themselves with the church. Trustees Rally April 25 The trustees of Tanner Chapel, A.M. E. church, plan an "over-the-top" rally for this department on April 25. They hope to realize from this rally sufficient funds to provide additional pews for the church, make other minor improvements and at the same time leave a substantial balance in the treasury. Already pledges of five and ten dollars are being made by individual members, and each auxiliary of the church, such as Ladies' Aid, Christian Endeavor League and others will be expected to donate sums ranging from $20 upward. One thousand dollars should be the result of this effort. Will they reach it? We think so. Horses Ran Away Mr. P. S. Lott of 429 East Washington street, suffered a few bruises sustained in a runaway accident Monday afternoon, when his team became frightened and ran up Jefferson street.

Green and family of 947 West Grant street had a narrow escape from what might have been a serious accident when the four wheels of their buggy were taken off by the impast of an automobile. They were thrown violently to the ground, but fortunately escaped with only a few scratches. Mrs. Green and James, Jr., were badly frightened but otherwise unhurt.

Henderson, manager of the culinary department at the Deaconess hospital, is reported on the sick list this week. Messrs. O. D. Hebert and W. J. Conquest have opened the Sunflower Cleaning and Dye Works at 623 West Grant street. They plan to do both a wholesale and retail business and have invested over $1200 in machinery and other modern devices. Mr. Hebert, president and manager of the concern, is an experienced cleaner and dyer, coming to this city from the coast, where he made an enviable reputation for himself as a master cleaner. He also spent several months with one of the largest cleaners in Phoenix, and upon the urgent request of customers, decided to open a business of his own. Rev. Conquest, secretary and treasurer of the business, is pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church in this city and is well and favorably known by all. He was instrumental in securing the necessary capital to launch the enterprise and to him much credit is due. They expect to open a downtown office where patrons may leave their clothes, but will continue operation of the general plant at the above location. The comic entertainment given on Tuesday night at the Second Baptist church by Mr. W. M. Shannon's club proved a big success. A large crowd was present and all enjoyed a good hearty laugh.

Federal and state food inspectors in 52 towns of eight states are making frantic efforts to locate and destroy dozens of bottles of ripe olives containing the deadly bacillus botulinus, as a result of deterioration. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING For the benefit of all those individuals and organizations which have signified their intention of contributing to the Near East Relief, but who have failed to send in remittances or pledges, the state committee has secured from the national organization an extension of ten days. This will bring the campaign to a close on March 10. All checks and pledges should be mailed direct to Near East Relief headquarters, Phoenix National Bank building, Phoenix, Arizona. Lively interest is being shown in many sections of the state by lodges, clubs and schools as well as church organizations in pledging funds sufficient to provide for the adoption of one or more orphans. To Arizona has been allotted the task of caring for 1,000 Armenian children during the ensuing year. Monthly pledges ranging from $5 to $15 are being accepted; $5 providing food, $10 providing food, clothing and shelter, and $15 providing all these and industrial education as well. "Whether Arizona will succeed or fail in its duty to humanity in this great cause of mercy depends entirely upon the results received before the close of the campaign," declared Chas. D. Willis, state secretary. "If all those who have promised to co-operate make good, there is no doubt that Arizona will go over the top. Unless prompt action is taken, however, this state is doomed to fall down hard in the raising of its quota of funds. It would certainly reflect discredit upon this great prosperous state of ours if we are to fail in doing our share toward relieving conditions which know no parallel in the history of the world. "If there ever was a worthy cause, if there ever was a crying need that demanded immediate action that cause is the present plight of the remnants of races now struggling for existence in the Near East. "America has been called upon to help. It cannot help officially by reason of the fact that these peoples have not yet been recognized as nations. While this fact presents a political barrier it should not and must not interfere with giving. The Near East Relief, incorporated by Congress, has been especially created to carry on the work of relief to hundreds of thousands of famishing women and children, who are battling against terrific odds. "The way has been made clear to every one who reads just how he, individually, can help. It is the earnest Don't Forget THAT Sheldon the Jeweler Has the Best Equipped Work Shops in Arizona.

Sunday school on the dot. The morning service was largely attended. At 11 o'clock Pastor Gilmore took for his subject "Christian Baptism." Text: "Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan, and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins." Matthew 3: 5-6. After this great instructive message, the door of the church was opened and four happy souls came forward and joined. At 12 o'clock Pastor Gilmore led down into the pool of Beihesda Mr. Kennady, who put on Christ by baptism. At the usual B. Y. P. U. hour President A. Turner called the body to order. At 8 o'clock Rev. D. J. Crawford of Palestine, Texas, delivered an able sermon. Many rejoiced. Collection for the day and night. $73.65. The pastor, Rev. T. J.

All seemed to be very highly elated, expressing a desire that Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson remain permanently with us instead of a visit. Ladies' Aid Society met Friday afternoon with Mrs. B. F. Murray, and held an interesting business as well as social meeting, and adjourned to meet at 6 p. m. The Christian Endeavor opened with an interesting lesson which was fully discussed. Attendance good. At 7:30 p. m. the pastor, Rev. T. J. Sanford, preached another wonderful sermon, "What Think Ye of Christ?" to a full house, and during his discourse the pastor, as well as his hearers, forgot he was crippled. His wonderful appeal, with the glorious music of the choir, increased the impression of the service. The collection for the day was $70. Three members were taken in. Visitors are welcome at all times. Mrs. B. F. Murray, reporter. Boston, March 3.—Within a few years there will be no more lynching of Negroes in the south, Dr. Robert R. Moton, the Negro head of Tuskegee Institute, predicted in an address here this week. The governors of North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky have pledged themselves that there will be no lynching in their states while they are in office, he said. As an instance of what he said was "the very gratifying attitude of the best people of the south toward the negro," Dr. Moton said the governor of North Carolina recently recognized a Negro committee as "brothers." Out of a total of 12,644 bills introduced in the house since the special session opened, May 10 last, clerks counting up reported that 205 had passed. Of the number passed 114 have become law. A million-dollar university for Indians and community centers for Spanish-Americans will be located in the southwest by the inter-church world movement, says a dispatch from Albuquerque, N. M. (Philadelphia, Pa., Press) The South in general and Kentucky in particular should be grateful for Governor Morrow's firmly courageous action. In using the militia to disperse an armed mob bent on lynching a Negro prisoner he has struck a blow at lynch law which will long be remembered and which should have a salutary effect in effacing it altogether. The-South needs more executives of his stamp of conscientiousness and fearlessness. That five people had to be killed while he was thus preserving law and order is deplorable. But there will be no disposition to blame Gov. Morrow for this. The mot which sought to override lawful authority brought these casualties on itself, and it is fortunate that more of its members did not fall before the rifles of the defenders of the government. Lynching is an abomination peculiar to America. It is an evil tradition which has operated to stain the good repute of an otherwise law-abiding people. Gov. Morrow's way is the only effective way. The nation owes him gratitude for the example he has set. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 1920. Tribune CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rate: 1½ cents per word per issue.
