VOL. III. No. 15 DELEGATES NAMED TO COMMERCIAL COUNCIL BY GOV. CAMPBELL In order to stimulate an enthusiasm in the colored people of this country to become greater producers, thereby giving the markets more volume, reducing the high cost of living, etc., the president and executive committee of the Industrial and Commercial Council of People of African Descent have issued a call for a convention to be held in Los Angeles, Cal., September, 25, 26 and 27. The convention is designed to inspire colored Americans to greater efforts, and the meeting in September will be the biggest of its kind ever held. In order that Arizona may come in for her share of representation, Governor Thomas E. Campbell has appointed the following delegates: Phoenix—E. J. Williams, Mrs. Jessie James, Perry Payne, J. E. Ready, Phil Green, J. T. Lucas, Geo. W. Caldwell, William P. Crump, Mrs. Emma L. Porter Clayton, A. R. Smith, Stell Jordan, J. R. Jackson, Mrs. Phil Green, Ithus White, Jr., Mamie J.

BLACKS ORGANIZE CO-OPERATIVE STORE IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA BLACKS ORGANIZE CO-OPERATIVE STORE IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA OMAHA, Neb., July 7—The organization of the Co-operative Workers of America, a $100,000 buying and selling corporation, marks the beginning of a new era in business for colored people in the central west. This company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Nebraska, and ahs received permission from the bureau of securities to sell $100,000 worth of its capital stock. The company has purchased the business block at 1516 and 1518 North 24th street, which the department store will occupy. The store will open just as soon as the necessary remodeling has been completed. Only six hundred and twenty persons can purchase stock in the company. Stock has already been reserved for 170 persons, leaving the number of 450. No person can purchase more than five shares of stock nor less than one share. The stock is $100 per share, and may be purchased by a payment of 10 per cent when the subscription contract is signed, and $10 or more per month until the stock is paid for. The money paid for the stock shall be applied on the purchase price of the building and paid for stock which shall be sold in the store, making due allowance for expenses allowed by law in companies of this character. In this way the company will have real value back of every certificate of stock it issues. One of the reasons for forming a company of this character was not only to get into the commercial world, but to get in there to stay. There will be 620 persons financially interested in the enterprise, which will mean, including their families, that there will be 1,800 persons who will buy from the store. The average daily expenditure for each person will be, for food and clothing, about $1, or a gross income from the owners of the store of $1,800 per day. This alone assures the success of the enterprise, but we will also sell to the whole public, which, added to the certain income, will make big business, or not quite $1,000,000 per year gross. This, of course, depends upon efficient management. The company is engaging a general manager for this enterprise who has had fifteen years of successful experience in the mercantile business. It is also joining a central buying agency MOVEMENT TO FREE BIG DEMONSTRATION BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLDIERS WHO TOOK PRINCE HALL G. L. FREE NEED NOT FEEL TOO PART IN HOUSTON RAID AND ACCEPTED MASONS SURE OF COLORED VOTE (By Associated Negro Press) HOUSTON, Texas, July 7—The last issue of the Army and Navy Journal states that there is an organized movement to free all of the Negro soldiers of the 24th Infantry who were adjudged guilty of participation in the raid on Houston in August, 1917. The Journal points out that an application for a writ of habeas corpus has been made before Judge John C. Pollock in the United States district court in Kansas City, Kans., in behalf of the 39 soldiers who are now serving terms in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. Forty-one of these men were convicted at the time of the court martial but two have since died. The writ sets forth that the United States was not at war at the time of the raid and therefore the men were not guilty of violating any war law by the raid. LOUISIANA PLANS TO BETTER CONDITIONS OF LIVING FOR BLACKS (By Associated Negro Press) ALEXANDRIA, La., July 7—A conference for the purpose of formulating plans for a welfare plan for the Negroes of this state closed its sessions last Friday night. Sanitation and health; housing and living conditions; provision for idle moments law and order; publicity and the newspapers; segregation laws; race pride and the preservation of race integrity; economic problems; cooperation; church responsibility; schools, farm and home life, are features of the plan adopted. In order that its stock may be purchased at the lowest figure obtainable, which will enable it to sell at a correspondingly reasonable one. Another feature about this company is that all employees in permanent grades shall be stockholders; they will not be working for the company alone, but for themselves as well. In so far as it has been possible to provide against upward contingencies, provision has been made, and the officers and members of this company confidently assert that the success of the enterprise is not only assured, but that it will surpass the expectations of the most sanguine persons. From the very start, the store will give employment to from thirty to forty young women and young men. Applications for positions will be received just as soon as it is announced that the general manager has arrived and assumed his duties. The reason for organizing this company is obvious. Colored people must enter the higher forms of modern business just as other races have been doing for hundreds and thousands of years and they must take the features of business organization as this company has done in this case and make it successful from the beginning. Through a company of this character we can combine our small capital and create something. For as has been truthfully said many times, the way to get clerks in stores is to combine your small funds and open stores; the way to give employment to colored young men and women is to create something where they may be employed; it is not enough to sit down and lament the failure of boys and girls to get employment in the large stores that are already in successful operation. In a short time branch stores will be established in other parts of the city and in other states and then will come a bank of our own and other enterprises which follow success in the business world. Everything that is up to date will be a part of the store and you will be as close to it as your telephone. The temporary office of the company is at No. 19 Pattedson Block, Douglas 3554, where the secretary will be glad to see any one who wishes further information about this undertaking. The officers of this company are: John W. Gordon, president; Samuel W. Mills, treasurer; Jackson Davis, vice president; Z. C. Snowden, secretary; salesmen, J. R. Lemma, Webster 4006, and Jessie Hale Moss, Webster 6349, Mrs. Alice Baskins, Harney 2902. Walter Webber is chairman of the board of directors. ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., July 7.—What is said to have been the greatest demonstration in the history of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Illinois and jurisdiction, Free and Accepted Masons, was held here last Sunday afternoon. Full three thousand men dressed in full Masonic regalia participated in this St. John's day celebration. The procession was led by three bands, which divided the body into three groups. Twenty-three local lodges were represented. RUFUS WILLIAMS MEETS HIS MASTER IN CLIFF JORDAN (Special to The Tribune) Ray, Ariz., July 7—In the fast ball game played here on the 4th, Ray defeated the fast Standard Oil team of Phoenix, 13 to 6. In the boxing match between Rufus Williams and Cliff Jordan, the white had slipped one over on the terrible Rufus and almost put him down for the count. They boxed ten fast rounds and although Cliff outweighed Rufus 10 pounds, the black boy from Columbus, gave a good account of himself. Evidently Rufus underrated the boy from California, for it seemed to surprise Rufus whenever Cliff landed one of those haymakers. At the end of the tenth round, the white lad had Rufus hanging on the ropes and the gong saved our idol from what otherwise would have been a disastrous defeat. The Mexicans of Sonora Town had bet heavily on Williams, and of course, their money went up in smoke. "Us white folks" were indeed happy to know that at last we had found some one to whip Rufus. To Williams and his followers, "All this world seems sad and dreary." An attempt will be made to rematch the boys for a bout on Labor Day. If they do, watch Rufus "come back." Mr. and Mrs. Willus Wright, Mrs. Burkes and Mrs. Welch of Hayden, came over on the Fourth to attend the fight. Lonnie Harris of Casa Grande, was a visitor in Ray on the 4th. J. J. McKelvey returned last Saturday from Phoenix where he has been visiting his brother, George McKelvey. J. A. Lewis has returned to Ray after completing his work in Superior. Children's Day was observed last Sunday at the People's A. M. E. Zion church, and the little folks rendered an excellent program. The pastor, Rev. W. J. Conquest, delivered an abie address and the collection for the day was $25. Chester Maryland, his wife and son, arrived in Ray last week from Phoenix. Mr. Maryland has purchased the home formerly owned by Archie Lewis and has accepted a position with the Ray Con. Archie Lewis and family will leave on the 23rd for Los Angeles where they will make their permanent home. Misses Dorthy and Katherine Crump spent the Fourth in Phoenix with the rest of the family. Miss Dorthy is bookkeeper for her father, Mr. William P. Crump, well known produce merchant. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben keca gave a little party on the evening of the Fourth at their palatial home in Sunny Side. Ice cream and cake were served and music played on the Victrola. A liberal supply of fireworks was on hand and old and young joined in the fun of discharging them. SOUTHERN EDITOR FAVORS EDUCATION OF COLORED PEOPLE SOUTHERN EDITOR FAVORS EDUCATION OF COLORED PEOPLE (By Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga., July 7—Local Negroes are making substantial progress in an organized effort to reduce illiteracy among their race in this city. The Constitution had this to say recently: "Illiteracy and ignorance constitute a menace to ahy state or group of people regardless of their race or color, and it has a part in every problem of our present day civilization; therefore, the necessity to encourage the present intelligent effort being made by Atlanta Negroes to reduce their quota of illiteracy." (By Associated Negro Press) Sometime ago The Associated Negro Press announced that the big slogan for political 1920 is "Where Do We Come In?" That slogan is yet in force, and the question has by no means been satisfactorily answered, according to the most reliable information it is possible to get. If the republican and democratic national conventions are supposed to have answered the question, there are several million colored people throughout the country who are displeased with the answer, and hundreds of these are asking The Associated Negro Press to give their In keeping with the policy of "above board frankness" it is regarded as a duty to make public, and call special attention to this condition. Party nominees and party leaders may take the opinions for what they are worth, but there is no question of the paramount significance of the situation. The people are filled with determination, and they are speaking out as never before. Out of the hundreds of interviews and letters received by The Associated Negro Press, this one from Walter C. Balenger, 2297 Seward Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, is typical. (It will be remembered that Detroit now has nearly 50,000 Negroes and they are easily the balance of power in Michigan since the migration). Mr. Balenger says: We have been following the G. O. P. through thick and thin and we don't seem to get any more from them thn we do from any other party. I think that the chief reason is that they feed us on promises. Would it be a, bad idea for us to have an understanding before sending thousands and thousands of our race to the polls to vote? Now, would it not be fair to ourselves to support the man who supports us? Let it be the third or fourth party. We have bought our last "pig in the bag," and demand that they play the cards on the table." The feeling seems to be that the political parties have used the Negro voters as tools, footballs, and political playthings; that in many instances disrespect of the most glaring kind has been demonstrated, and that the time for a real show down is here politically, come what will. MILITARY BURIAL GIVEN SEVERAL COLORED SOLDIERS (By Associated Negro Press) ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 7 — William Bell, of the 806th Pioneer Infantry; James T. Comarite, of the 546th Engineers; Casey Dennen, of the 301st Stevedore Regiment; and Andrew Lowman, of the 345th Laborer's Battalion were buried with impressive military services last Sunday afternoon. The ceremonies were in charge of Chaplain Ignatius Fealy. There was a full military escort from Ft. Myer, Virginia, and there were representatives of the war department and the District of Columbia department of the American Legion. $150,000 HOSPITAL TO BE ERECTED BY COLORED MEN $150,000 HOSPITAL TO BE ERECTED BY COLORED MEN (By Associated Negro Press) RICHMOND, Va., July 7—A $150,000 hospital to be managed, equipped and operated by Negroes will soon be opened in this city. The colored people of Richmond are making heroic efforts to raise the fund in order that the hospital will be opened sometime in the early fall. Now, if those overall boys would go a step further and carry an dinner buckets they could take a crack at the profiteers in lunches. It may be impossible to distinguish the plutocrat from the pauper in overalls, but these garments fatally betray embonpoint and bowlegs. There are too many new books about the polar regions and not enough about the tropics. The literary atmosphere is kept constantly chilled. JACK JOHNSON WALKS ACROSS LINE ON AMERICAN SOIL (By Associated Negro Press) TIA JUANA, Mexico, July 7—Jack Johnson was in the United States for one whole minute last Wednesday morning. He is training here for his fight with a white heavyweight which will take place in the near future. He is doing considerable road work and it was during one of his road excursions that he ventured to cross the bridge at this point and stand on American soil for one minute. A clock in the local American custom house sounded an alarm and the ex-champion prize fighter of the world beat a hasty retreat back to Mexico. He says he has no intentions of returning to the states. PRESCOTT By Mrs. Dora Rose The Masons held their annual sermon Sunday, June 17th, Rev. S. E. Newell, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church, officiating. Yavapai Chapter O. E. S. gave a box social July 4th at their hall on North Granite street. Soft drinks and refreshments were served. Mrs. V. Mitchell and daughter, Miss Fay Mitchell, are the house guests of Mrs. John Suddoth this week. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Jordan have purchased a home on North Granite street. Last week the children of Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday school were given a picnic by Mrs. L. F. Delaney at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Blair or their ranch, a few miles from Prescott. The float was donated by Mr. Blair, who also acted as driver and carried the children and older people to and from the picnic grounds. Mrs. Blair threw open the doors of her home to the party and lobster salad, potato salad, tea biscuits, punch, cake and ice cream were served in abundance. The older people joined in with the children in skipping rope, and playing other games. All had a delightful time. The party returned to Prescott at 6 p. m. Mr. G. W. Johnson of Oakland, Calif., arrived in Prescott last week and has taken his wife to Los Angeles, Calif., where she will be placed in a sanitarium until she regains her health. Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Hilbert have added a sleeping porch to one of their cottages. They also are tearing down one of their small cottages preparatory to building a six-room apartment in its stead. Mr. and Mrs. T. Z. Smith of Phoenix, spent the Fourth in the city the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hilbert. Hon. Leonard J. Harris and wife have sold their home and furnishings and will locate in Pueblo, Colorado. Mrs. Rachael Mays Henderson of Phoenix, is the house guest of Mrs. Scales. Mrs. Henderson will spend shortly for the coast where she will spend the summer. Mrs. D. B. Webster of Jerome, was a week-end visitor in the city the guest of Mrs. Henry Williams. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Blair and family spent last week in the city to witness the Frontier Days celebration. Mr. Robert Fambrough of Phoenix, brother of Mrs. Joe Blair, is visiting the Blairs at their ranch in Miller valley. VIRGINIANS SEEKING TO INDUCE BLACKS TO REMAIN IN SOUTH VIRGINIANS SEEKING TO INDUCE BLACKS TO REMAIN IN SOUTH (By Associated Negro Press) LYNCHBURG, Va., July 7—Lynchburg's population has appreciably decreased during the past ten years. The wholesale emigration of the Negro people to the North is said to be the reason for the falling off in this direction. Steps to bring about more pleasant relations between the races are being seriously considered. By this means it is hoped that the Negroes may be induced to remain here. Red was a lucky color among the Indians and the chiefs painted their faces that color after winning a battle. There is a belief that green or yellow looking eyes belong to a jealous disposition, from which has arisen the "green-eyed jealousy" expression. $500 FINE FOR ONE, DEATH FOR THE OTHER; VIRGINIA JUSTICE (By Associated Negro Press) ELIZABETHTON, Va., July 7—The mountains in this locality are being scoured in an effort to capture an unknown Negro who is accused of committing a criminal assault on the 15 year old daughter of Wm. Estep of this place. Zan Smith, a white man, was fined $500 for an assault on the Estep girl last week. A Negro was apprehended but the girl could not identify him as her assailant. If the Negro who assaulted the girl is caught he will be fynched. SEVERE BLOW TO DISCRIMINATORY LAWS IN ILLINOIS SEVERE BLOW TO DISCRIMINATORY LAWS IN ILLINOIS (By Associated Negro Press) SPRINGFIELD, Ill., July 7—Edward H. Morris, the well known colored lawyer of Chicago, presented to the constitutional convention now in session in this city, a resolution, last Wednesday, which aims to prevent the passage of discriminatory laws based on color or race. After a heated discussion an amended section was adopted which reads as follows: "The laws of this state shall be applicable alike to all citizens without regard to race or color, and no citizen shall be prohibited from doing anything that any other person may do, because or by reason of such citizen's color or race." Mr. Morris ranks among the leaders in the convention and is making a splendid record in honor of his race. Green is an ominous color to be married in. The old doggerel runs: "Those dressed in blue have lovers true; in green and white, forsaken quite." The old clothes movement proves once again that a worm will turn. Can't some Burbank perfect a plant that will grow shirts and shoes and all that? BOUGLAS (By Mrs. L. A. Kinchloe) Last Sunday was rally day at St. James A. M. E. church, and the Rev. Cicero C. Simmons preached a wonderful sermon. Subject: The Secret Power and Love of a Pure Life. Rev. Simmons made his talk so plain that the smallest child could understand it. Owing to the hot weather, the crowd in the afternoon was not as large as usual, but the house was filled to capacity for the evening worship. A splendid program was rendered consisting of solos, duets, quartettes and recitations. After which came the bugle sound: "To Arms," and Col. Lilliam Weathely of the 10th U. S. Cavalry and Col. Elizabeth White of the 9th Cavalary, took their places in front of their regiments and to the strains of music, "The Fight Is On," the battle began. It lasted thirty minutes and when the smoke had cleared away the brave 10th walked out boldly with victory on their side. An exact account of the money raised cannot be given at this time for both sides have some uncollected pledges to report. To date they have turned in amounts as follows: Ninth Cavalary, $71.61; Tenth Cavalary, $139.35. The rally was a success in every way and the pastor and members desire to thank all who helped with their presence and means. Mrs. W. S. Hunt, 1011 Seventeenth street, is having a new roof put on her house. Mrs. L. Hep gave a delightful surprise party last Tuesday evening at 640 Thirteenth street in honor of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Gipson. Among those present were, Rev. and Mrs. Rector, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Alex Williams, Mrs. A. A. Long, Mr. F. McAlister, Mrs. Douglas, Mr. Burt Wright, Mrs. Hunt, Mr. and Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Bird, Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Gipson left Wednesday evening for points in California. By Mrs. L. A. Kinchloe Mr. M. Carter was taken suddenly ill last night while at church and had to be taken home. His condition is improved. Sunday, July 4th, was rally day at St. James A. M. E. church and the officers of the 9th and 10th cavalry made their reports. Mr. and Mrs. Anthony left Monday. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year EXAMINATION BY DOCTOR DISCREDITS STORY OF LYNCHERS (Special to The Tribune) DULUTH, Minn., July 7—Members of the mob that lynched three innocent Negroes here June 14, are filtering out and already officers have failed to find men whom they had subpoenas for. After investigation and a careful analysis of the allegations there is no reason to believe that Irene Tusken was raped by one Negro, to say nothing of six. The whole miserable affair, at this time, and in the light of developments, is a travesty on humanity, law, order and justice. The plot was conceived in a lawless resort, carried out by hoodlums and permitted by a weak and incompetent police department. Getting down to a bit of analysis, many things in this case do not ring true or properly square up. In the first place, back of a circus is a peculiar place for a decent boy and a respectable girl, he admitting to 17 years and she not exceeding 18 years at 10 o'clock at night. She claims she became unconscious when the Negroes grabbed her, but says she regained consciousness just as they were leaving. The girl tells about them leaving her, yet the boy that was with her claims the Negroes stood by and directed the departure from the scene of the outrage. Although claiming to have been raped by six husky young fellows, one would believe that the tender girl would have had to be taken to a hospital if not the morgue, but she was apparently in normal condition. Young Sullivan, the 17 year old defender of female virtue, states that he and the girl were watching the circus pull up stakes and load out. That being the case, it is a most strenuous time for hands. How did a harsh driving foreman permit a considerable number of his gang to go to the bushes long enough for each and everyone to commit rape? Some who know young James Sullivan believe that he would be fully as dangerous to a young girl as a Negro circus hand. He has been in a number of disreputable escapades here. No, Negroes did not rape the Tusken girl. There were no marks, bruises, cuts, tears, scratches, swelling or sensitiveness to indicate it. Three innocent men have been the victims of barbarity and savagery, and it is believed that Police Commissioner Murnain will be removed by the governor. It will take years for Duluth to outlive the awful stain and terrible scenes incident to a lynching of three Negro boys, pleading for mercy and even denying guilt to the last. June 28th, for Santa Monica, Calif., where they will reside permanently. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson left Wednesday evening, June 30th, for Santa Monica, Calif., to make their future home. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson and Mr. and Mrs. Anthony are members of the C. M. E. church and we deeply regret the loss of these faithful church workers. Mr. M. F. Taylor of St. Louis is here visiting relatives. He conducted praise services Sunday at the C. M. E. church and we were greatly benefited by his presence and remarks. He is a wide awake young man and we are always-glad to welcome such people to our city. Mrs. S. L. Gross of Pirtleville entertained at 5 o'clock dinner last Sunday. The guest list included Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Laster, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Andrews and Miss Dorothy Jones. A sumptuous repast was served and greatly enjoyed by all. Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Rector were hosts at a delightful dinner Sunday. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Carter, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Taylor. Srgt. G. W. Corbett of Fort Huachuca spent the week-end in Douglas visiting friends. Rev. Major Jones, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church, and his congregation are remodeling their church. When completed, it will be second to none in the city. God speed them on in their work. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Smith have moved into their new home in Pirtleville. The reporter met the Juvenile Missionary club Monday night in their third regular session and it was wonderful to see the way the little children conduct their meeting.

THE POLITICAL HORIZON Now that we have the nominees, things will begin to happen along the way we have little to choose between them. There may not be such a great difference, the two parties, but there is a vast difference to word their platform in a way to Colored Americans, but the Democrat left us out entirely. Everything and mentioned in the Democratic platform we are led to believe this was intentionally promised, nothing can be expected. The Republican party, in years short on performance. This year they say if we are to reason correctly, greater way, since we have nothing to hope to accept a half-loaf in lieu of a who. Coming events cast their shadows has arisen in the Democratic ranks, a party to say that his "heart is in the a Republican victory in the national or like good Baptists, have their personal comes to facing their adversary, the stance where the Republicans split mited a Democrat to ride into the Vance has taught the Republicans a time when the party was united, it is all ill-feelings will be discarded and household of faith," will vote it straight. Diogenes went about during the day of an honest man. Were he on earth the most powerful Eveready Daylos or is not to be found in every place, yet. The world is badly mixed and mostly men, all men everywhere. Men should do with honor. A man who is truly anything that he cannot do with honour because we are their friends, expect us themselves know would rob us of all us as before. Honor is gone and then. Every man should be an honorable such because of dishonesty. Selfish nearly so. Men apply to their own us ever they get the chance. Conscience adays. It seems not to speak any more untrue without ever feeling that all men as you cannot that they do us man now, or nearly so, is all for self. If his friend makes change for him and says it was luck. Not more than error. If placed in a position of trust we one essential to the success of the butor to the other according to his liking service, honesty flees; he just with honest man has nothing for himself have nothing for yourself. To steal for a part of some men's lives nowadayslected; sometimes you are just let by be a great genius, a giant in intellect, compared with plain, simple, downright virtue or quality is discounted in square to the world, immeasurably precious possession of any community vicinity worth more, and all his neighbor of them. It is as natural for us to have stands for what he believes to be right is constructed on lines of truth, of reality. Things are so planned in that if he gets very far or accomplishes v structure of natural laws is pledged sham—and only the right ultimately can have the nominees of the two leading happen along the line of politics. Choose between the two candidates such a great difference between them, there is a vast difference between the candidates will run. The Republican platform in a way that it might be us, but the Democrats, either willful Everything and everybody in the democratic platform, except us and of this was intentional, and inasmuch can be expected. party, in years past, has been low. This year the party has made be correctly, greater performance may nothing to hope for from the other in lieu of a whole one. cast their shadows before. From the democratic ranks, causing one of the "heart is in the grave," we are in the national campaign is certain have their personal differences and a their adversary, they are united. His Republicans split during a national to ride into the White House "dry" Republicans a great lesson, and it was united, it is now. A solid fro be discarded and every one, "esp will vote it straight. Now that we have the nominees of the two leading parties in the field, things will begin to happen along the line of politics. Some have said that we have little to choose between the two candidates—Harding and Cox. There may not be such a great difference between the standard bearers of the two parties, but there is a vast difference between the platforms upon which the respective candidates will run. The Republicans were skillful enough to word their platform in a way that it might be interpreted to refer to Colored Americans, but the Democrats, either willfully or unthoughtfully, left us out entirely. Everything and everybody in the United States were mentioned in the Democratic platform, except us and our cause. Naturally, we are led to believe this was intentional, and inasmuch as nothing has been promised, nothing can be expected. The Republican party, in years past, has been long on promises but short on performance. This year the party has made but few promises, and if we are to reason correctly, greater performance may be expected. Anyway, since we have nothing to hope for from the other side, we are forced to accept a half-loaf in lieu of a whole one. Coming events cast their shadows before. From the dissatisfaction that has arisen in the Democratic ranks, causing one of the great leaders of the party to say that his "heart is in the grave," we are inclined to believe that a Republican victory in the national campaign is certain. Good Republicans, like good Baptists, have their personal differences and disputes, but when it comes to facing their adversary, they are united. History records an instance where the Republicans split during a national campaign and permitted a Democrat to ride into the White House "dry shod." This experience has taught the Republicans a great lesson, and if ever there was a time when the party was united, it is now. A solid front will be presented, all ill-feelings will be discarded and every one "especially those of the household of faith," will vote it straight. AN HONEST MAN about during the daytime with a light. Where he on earth today he would be oveready Daylos or a strong searchlight in every place, yet there is a place for him mixed and mostly so because of the where. Men should never do anything man who is truly honest will not rost do not with honor. There are their friends, expect us to do for them certain rob us of all honor. If we do it is gone and there can be no conflict be an honorable man. Much the honesty. Selfishness is at the bottle, to their own use that which belongs. Conscience seems to be asked not to speak any more. Your trust is not ever feeling that he has done you, that they do unto you," is of the so, is all for self or some one whom change for him and gives him too much. Not more than one out of ten. The position of trust where strict observance of success of the business, he is slacking to his likes and dislikes. When flees; he just wants to "get by," thing for himself and if you bother herself. To steal from one and then it's lives nowadays. It is not always you are just let by to see if you are a giant in intellect, but great brilliance, simple, downright honesty of chance discounted in comparison. A man, immeasurably fixed in his print of any community. He makes every and all his neighbors a little proud. For us to have faith in the man believes to be right, as it is to breeds of truth, of veracity, and we if so planned in this world that a man or accomplishes very much in this law is pledged to defeat the lie, right ultimately can succeed, only to Diogenes went about during the daytime with a lighted lantern in quest of an honest man. Were he on earth today he would need to carry one of the most powerful Eveready Daylos or a strong searchlight. An honest man is not to be found in every place, yet there is a place for every honest man. The world is badly mixed and mostly so because of the need of honesty in men, all men everywhere. Men should never do anything that they cannot do with honor. A man who is truly honest will not request another to do anything that he cannot do with honor. There are those about us who, because we are their friends, expect us to do for them certain things that they themselves know would rob us of all honor. If we do it they do not respect us as before. Honor is gone and there can be no confidence. Every man should be an honorable man. Much that we 'call failure is such because of dishonesty. Selfishness is at the bottom of all dishonesty, nearly so. Men apply to their own use that which belongs to another whenever they get the chance. Conscience seems to be asleep in most men nowadays. It seems not to speak any more. Your trusted friend can easily prove untrue without ever feeling that he has done you wrong. "To do unto all men as you would that they do unto you," is of the dead past. Every man now, or nearly so, is all for self or some one whom he calls his friend. If his friend makes change for him and gives him too much, he hurries off and says it was luck. Not more than one out of ten will correct such an error. If placed in a position of trust where strict observance to rules 'is the one essential to the success of the business, he is slack, leaning to the one or to the other according to his likes and dislikes. When it comes to rendering service, honesty flees; he just wants to "get by," that's all. The dishonest man has nothing for himself and if you bother with him you will have nothing for yourself. To steal from one and then "grin in his face" is a part of some men's lives nowadays. It is not always that you are detected; sometimes you are just let by to see if you are honest. A man may be a great genius, a giant in intellect, but great brilliancy of mind cannot be compared with plain, simple, downright honesty of character. Every other virtue or quality is discounted in comparison. A man who stands four-square to the world, immeasurably fixed in his principles, is the most precious possession of any community. He makes every foot of land in his vicinity worth more, and all his neighbors a little prouder because he is one of them. It is as natural for us to have faith in the man who is honest, who stands for what he believes to be right, as it is to breathe. Human nature is constructed on lines of truth, of veracity, and we instinctively feel this reality. Things are so planned in this world that a man has to be honest if he gets very far or accomplishes very much in this world; for the whole structure of natural laws is pledged to defeat the lie, the falsehood, the sham—and only the right ultimately can succeed, only truth can triumph.

NEGROES PRAYING FOR SUCCESS OF REPUBLICAN PARTY NEGROES PRAYING FOR SUCCESS OF REPUBLICAN PARTY (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 7—Last Sunday was "prayer day" among the Negro churches throughout the country in behalf of the National ticket of the republican party. The program was arranged by a meeting of Negro bishops held in this city during the latter part of last week. Reports show that the day was very generally observed. A looking glass is apt to convince one that there is only one person inhabiting the earth. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING The STRANGE CASE of CAVENDISH BY RANDALL PARRISH AUTHOR OF "THE DEVIL'S OWN" "MY LADY OF THE NORTH" ETC. COPYRIGHT BY RANDALL PARRISH --- CHAPTER I The Reaching of a Decision. For the second time that night Frederick Cavendish, sitting at a small table in a busy safe where the night life of the city streamed continually in and out regarded the telegram spread out upon the white napery. It read: "Bear Creek, Colorado, 4-2-5. Frederick Cavendish, College Club, New York City. "Found big lead; lost it again. Need you badly. Westcott." For the second time that night, too, a picture rose before him, a picture of great plains, towering mountains, and open spaces that spoke of the freedom and health of outdoor living. He had known that life once before, when he and Jim Westcott had prospected and hit the trail together, and its appeal to him now after three years of shallow sightseeing in the city was deeper than ever. "Good old Jim," he murrured, "struck pay-dirt at last only to lose it and he needs me. By George, I think I'll go." And why should he not? Only twenty-nine, he could still afford to spend a few years in search of living. His fortune left him at the death of his father was safely invested, and he had no close friends in the city and no relatives, except a cousin, John Cavendish, for whom he held no love, and little regard. He had almost determined upon going to Bear Creek to meet Westeott, and was talling for his check when his attention was arrested by a noisy party of four that boisterously took seats at a near-by table. Cavendish recognized the two women as members of the chorus of the prevailing Revue, one of them Celeste La Rue, an aggressive blonde with thin lips and a metallic voice, whose name was synonymous with midnight escapades and flowing wine. His contemptuous smile at the sight of them deepened into a disgusted sneer when he saw that one of the men was John Cavendish, his cousin. The two men's eyes met, and the younger, a slight, mild-eyed youth with a listless chin, excused himself and presented himself at the elder's table. "Won't you join us?" he said nervously. Frederick Cavendish's trim, bearded jaw tightened and he shook his head. "They are not my people," he said shortly, then retreating, begged, "John, when are you going to cut that sort out?" "You make me weary!" the boy snapped. "It's easy enough for you to talk when you've got all the money—that gives you an excuse to read me moral homilies every time I ask you for a dollar, but Miss La Rue is as good as any one of your friends any day." The other controlled himself. "What is it you want?" he demanded directly. "Money? If so, how much?" "A hundred will do," the younger man said eagerly. "I lost a little on cards lately, and have to borrow. Tonight I met the girl—" Frederick Cavendish silenced him and tendered him the bills. "Now," he said gravely, "this is the last, unless you cut out such people as Celeste La Rue and others that you train with. I'm tired of paying bills for your inane extravagance and parties. I can curtail your income and what's more, I will unless you change." For a moment the dissipated youth surveyed his cousin, then an angry flushed mounted into his pasty face. "You—you—" he stuttered, "—you go to hell." Without another word the elder Cavendish summoned the walter, paid the bill, and walked toward the door. John started after him, a smile of derision on his face. He had heard Cavendish threaten before. When Frederick Cavendish reached the street and the fresh night air raced through his lungs he came to a sudden realization and then a resolution. The realization was that since further pleading would avail nothing with John Cavendish, he needed a lesson. The resolution was to give it to him. He turned the matter over in his mind as he walked along until reflection was ended by the doors of the College club which appeared abruptly and took him in their swinging circle. He went immediately to the writing-room, laid aside his things and sat down. The first thing to do, he decided, was to obtain an attorney and consult him regarding the proper steps. For no other reason than that they had met occasionally in the corridor he thought of Patrick Enright. Calling a page boy, he asked that Enright be located if possible. Fifteen minutes passed before Enright appeared. "I take it you are Mr. Cavendish," he said, advancing, "and that you are in immediate need of an attorney's counsel." Cavendish nodded, shook hands, and motioned him into a chair. "I have been called suddenly out of town, Mr. Enright," he explained, "and for certain reasons which need not be disclosed I deem it necessary to execute a will. I am the only son of the late William Huntington Cavendish; also his sole heir, and in the event of my death without a will, the property would descend to my only known relative, a cousin, John Cavendish." The lawyer nodded. Of young Cavendish he evidently knew. "Because of his dissolute habits I have decided to dispose of a large portion of my estate elsewhere in case of my early death. I have here a rough draft of what I want done." He showed the paper. "All that I require is that it be transposed into legal form." Enright took the paper and read it carefully. The bulk of the $1,000,000 Cavendish estate was willed to charitable organizations, and a small allowance, a mere pittance, was provided for John Cavendish. After a few inquiries the attorney said: "You do not mind waiting a moment." Cavendish shook his head, and rising, the attorney disappeared in the direction of the office. Cavendish heaved a sign of relief; now he was free, absolutely free, to do as he chose. His disappearance would mean nothing, to his small circle of casual friends, and when he was settled elsewhere he could notify the only two men who were concerned with his whereabouts—his valet, Valois, and the agent handling the estate. Enright returning found him with pen in hand. "A trifling task," the attorney smiled easily. "All ready for your signature, too. You sign there, the second line. But wait—we must have witnesses." Sinus, the butler, and the doorman were called in and wrote their names to the document and then withdrew, after which Enright began folding it up carefully. "I presume you leave this in my care?" he asked shortly. Cavendish shook his head: "I think not. I prefer holding it myself in case it is needed suddenly. I shall keep my rooms, and my man Valois will remain there indefinitely." The attorney watched him disappear. Suddenly he struck the table with one hand. "By God!" he muttered, "I'll have to see this thing a little further." Wheeling suddenly, he walked to a telephone booth, called a number and waited impatiently several moments before he said in intense subdued tones: "Is this Carlton's cafe? Give me Jackson, the head-waiter. Jackson, is Mr. Cavendish — John Cavendish—there? Good! Call him to the phone, will you, Jackson? It's important." The early light of dawn stealing in faintly through the spider-web of the fire escape ladder, found a partially open window on the third floor of the Waldron apartments, and begun slowly to brighten the walls of the room within. It was a large apartment, furnished soberly and in excellent taste. Wealth and comfort were everywhere manifest. Yet, as the light lengthened, 'the surroundings evidenced disorder. One chair lay overturned, a porcelain vase had fallen from off the table-top to the floor and scattered into fragments. Back of the table a small safe embedded fh the wall stood with its door wide open, its inner drawer spintered as with a knife blade and hanging half out, and below it a riffle of papers, many of them apparently legal documents. But the one object across which the golden beams of light fell as though in soft caress was the motionless figure of a man lying upon his back beside the table near the drapeless window. A blow from behind had evidently crushed his skull and though the face was seared and burned, though the curtain's partial ashes covered more than a half of it, though the eye-lashes above the sightless eyes were singed and the trim beard burned to black stubs, the face gave mute evidence of being that of Frederick Cawendish. The door at the end of the bookcase opened noiselessly and a man, smooth faced, his hair brushed low across his forehead, stepped quietly in. As his eyes surveyed the grewsome object by the table, they dilated with horror; then his whole body stiffened and he A. DR. W. C.

There they remained until all the members came with their pound, and from there they marched to the rear of the pastor's house and from thence on to the front and into the house, singing the truthful song, entitled "God Will Take Care of You," led by Mr. B. L. Boyd. After entering the house we were all led in prayer by Deacon Boyd, who prayed a fervent prayer, asking God's blessing upon pastor and members of the proud Antioch Baptist church, after which they presented to the pastor a wash tub laden with all manner of food stuff, which brought joy and happiness to the pastor and wife.

Sauer's unexpected one-fall victory over Daviscount in their handicap match last Monday night resulted in the rematching of the men for a finish go. The return match was foreced upon Daviscount against his wishes. As he explained, he had too much to lose and too little to gain in such a match, but fans demanded that he accept Sauer's challenge. Nick is already training hard for the finish go and says he will be in better shape for the next meeting. Under the terms of agreement entered into by the big fellows, they will enter the ring at catch weights and go to a finish, best two in three falls, on a winner-take-all basis. Promoters Hale and Tally are permitting only clean bouts to be staged so that women and children may find as much enjoyment in watching a contest as the men and boys. An unusually good preliminary program is promised and all lovers of good, clean sport will witness one of the best bouts Friday night that has ever been held at this arena. The same popular prices as for the first match will prevail. Hay Ride Postponed Rev.

An' folks seem down on you, I know what will make you happy, An' chase away the frown— Read the little ol' newspaper From your ol' home town. You won't laugh about the triflin things The paper has to say, For every line's a message From the ol' home far away Even Si's new chicken coop Will not provoke a smile, An' the great big city dailies Lie unopened all the while. Bill's girl has gone to college, An' Joe's boy's home from France, The Ladies' Aid will hold a social, An' the Masons give a dance; So you read the local happenings, An' never miss a line, An' cause they're all your neighbors, You'll be glad that crops are fine. Then before you know it You've read it through and through, An' all the world seems brighter An' life seems good to you. So for a pill of pleasure To chase away the frown. Take the little ol' newspaper From your ol' home town. now written! Oh that they were printed in a book that they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever! For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me."—Job 19:22-27. Use a N on Your a Nozzle our Hose Use a Nozzle on Your Hose In watering the lawn and flowers it is very necessary that you use a nozzle on the hose to avoid unnecessary waste of water. This regulation must positively be observed. One of the greatest sources of waste of city water is due to leaky plumbing fixtures. It is the duty of every consumer to have leaking pipes and faucets repaired at once. Have th Plumbin the Leakybing Fixed Have the Leaky Plumbing Fixed Despite urgent appeals for conservation of City water, there is still a noticeable disregard of these requests. It will be necessary to employ drastic measures to enforce regulations unless they are more strictly observed. --- --- SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1920 The religion of fear is the religion of sin.
