Phoenix Tribune

DR. EMMETT J. SCOTT TAKES EXCEPTION TO TRIBUNE EDITORIAL Following is a letter received from Hon. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard ; University, Washington, D. C., in reply to an editorial which appeared in the Phoenix Tribune issue August 7. The letter follows: August 10, 1920. I have just received a copy of the Phoenix Tribune, issue of August 7th, containing news item sent out from Atlanta, Ga., and headed "Emnett J. Scott only handy man to the secretary of war." I have no disposition to quarrel with your headline or with your editorial. Nevertheless, I think it desirable that I advise you that your editorial intimates a situation which never existed and which no one has sought to intimate did exist. As you know, the secretaries of the various executive departments and their assistants are statutory positions and are usually filled by men of the same political faith of the administration controlling them. In the case of the war department when war was declared, there were statutory provisions for the assistant secretary of war, which position was filled by a representative of the administration's political faith. However, the war necessities made it incumbent that the interests of special groups be taken care of and it is worth while mentioning that there served on the staff of the secretary of war at various times the following gentlemen, all of whom were known and addressed as special assistants to the secretary of war: 1. Dr. Ernest Martin Hopkins, president of Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H., who left his important work as president of Dartmouth College to serve as special assistant to the secretary of war. 2. Dr. F. P. Keppel, Dean of Columbia University, served the government as special assistant to the secretary of war, afterwards being nominated as third assistant secretary of war, which position lapsed July 1, 1919. Dr. Keppel is now connected with Red Cross activities. 3. Mr. Dalter Lippman, one of the editors of the New Republic, New York City, served on the staff of the secretary of war as a special assistant. 4. Mr. Felix Frankfurter, of Howard University Law School, served as special assistant to the secretary of war before he was transferred to the department of labor to help compose labor difficulties during the war. Truly it seems to me this was a representative group of men to be included among. The interests of practically every group in America, as you will note by the above named, except our group, was taken care of when I was invited to serve on the staff of the secretary of war as a special assistant to the secretary. On October 5, 1917, the official bulletin (published under the direction of the committee on public information) and the Associated Press, carried the following announcement: Advisor to War Department "Secretary Newton D. Baker of the war department announces that Emmett J. Scott, for eighteen years confidential secretary to the late REMARKS BY HARDING In his speech of acceptance in Marion, Ohio, Senator Warren G. Harding, the Republican candidate for President, answers the question for the party and for himself. "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove the stain from the fair name of America." And this: "I believe the Negro Citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices of blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."

British lightweight wrestling champion, his next match at Tally's Arena. The inside boys have been predicting defeat for Peter in every match, but Peter goes right on tossing the best they produce and saying nothing. Each time he tackles a harder and more experienced man, and each time he pins 'em down with striking regularity. He has firmly entrenched himself in local sporting circles, despite a few who contend that Peter has been favored in the arena. Sauer is a good sport, a gentleman, and as fine a fellow as you will meet in any walk of life. Win or lose, Peter will retain the many friends he has made since his arrival in the city of Phoenix. In addition to the Clapham-Sauer wrestling contest Friday evening, Matchmaker Tally has arranged two good preliminaries, one wrestling contest and a four-round boxing contest between Walter Sinclair and Sherill Ellis. The men will weigh in at 145 pounds at 3 o'clock the afternoon of the fight. Policeman Is Slain By Negro; All Blacks Ordered to Leave City Eszerville, Va., Aug. 19.—All but three Negroes have been ordered to leave Eszerville by a citizens' committee.

MFCA The Paradise Baptist State convention of Arizona held its first annual meeting at Mesa, August 10th to 15th.

Calvary Baptist church of Tucson had four delegates; Mt. Olive Baptist church of Prescott had three delegates; Mt. Baptist church of Douglas had two delegates; the church at Somerton, Ariz., had one delegate. Antioch Baptist church of Phoenix was refused admission to the convention, and its pastor, Rev. C. A. Gilmore, formerly corresponding secretary of the convention, was dropped from the roll. Many old-time friends met in Mesa at this convention and all had a delightful time. Those who attended all the sessions of the convention had the opportunity to hear some powerful sermons by the leading Baptist divines of this state. Rev. Green of Albuquerque, N. M., now pastor of the Second Baptist church in Phoenix, was at the convention and made a favorable impression upon all. Monday the 16th the convention adjourned and the delegates departed for home. Many remained in Phoenix to attend the lecture of Kelly Miller at the high school. Mr. Ed. Wilson has moved into his new home. ARIZONA'S.

(Special to The Tribune) WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 — Some time ago S. H. Dent, a demagogic congressman from the state of Alabama, who was for a while chairman of the committee on military affairs, was defeated for nomination. Dent is a southerner of the cheap cracker type who did all he could during the world war in connection with the selective service regulations to prevent the draft from applying to white and colored soldiers allike. He eagerly sought some subterfuge whereby he could have one set of regulations apply to colored men and another set to white men. This democratic effort was squelched by the ranking republican member of the committee, Mr. Julllus Kahn, and his republican party associates. Dent, of course, was playing up, or down, to his demagogic constituents while reflecting his own cheap type of mind. The secretary of war also fought Mr. Den't efforts and to snow that he had no sympathy with him called Dr. Emmett J. Scott to Washington to serve as special assistant to the secretary of war. Dr. Scott's designation was made plain in the Official Bulletin of the government, through the Associated Press, and is set forth in full detail in Dr. Scott's book, "The American Negro in the World War." Dent was defeated by his constituents for renomination on the ground that a colored man had served in the war department as an assistant secretary of war, and that Dent should have prevented it. To square himself with his constituents, Dent has requested the secretary of war to say that Dr. Scott was not an "Assistant Secretary of War" but a "Special Assistant to the Secretary of War." It is well known that during the war hundreds of men were called to Washington to serve in special relationships. No political implication was involved in Dr. Scott's service as he makes clear in his book. He served, as hundreds of other republicans served the government including such men as Mr. Tatt, Justice Hughes, Benedict Crowell, Julius Rosenwald, E. R. Stettinius, and hundreds of others. Both the secretary of war and Dr. Scott clearly understood that he was rendering service to our government in time of need and not political service. Secretary Baker in his letter to Dent, states: "Dr. Scott's assistance was of the greatest value to the government and to the people of the colored race." The cheap politics by which southern politicians are kept in congress is nauseating to say the least. COLLEGE GRADUATE ACCEPTS POSITION ON POLICE FORCE Washington, D. C., Aug. 19.—Adelaide Childs, a colored woman of this city, has been appointed a policewoman. She took the civil service examination for the place and passed with a high percentage. Miss Childs is 25 years old and is a college graduate. She will be given work among the colored population. WHAT NEXT WILL OCCUR IN NORTH CAROLINA? (By Associated Negro Press) Greenboro, N. C., Aug. 19.—Bonnie Gatlin, a young Negress, charged Mack Fisher, a Negro, with criminally assaulting her, and he was bound over to the criminal court last Tuesday morning. The girl is said to be in a critical condition as a result of the assault. CONVICTED ON UGLY CHARGE (By Associated Negro Press) Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 19.—Lucius Harris, a Negro porter in a local hotel, was tried in the municipal court last Tuesday morning charged with an attempted assault on a young white woman. The woman claimed that Harris entered her room and sat on the bed. Harris was sentenced to 90 days at the city prison farm. He was convicted of suspicious and disorderly conduct. If it is true that Europe is beginning to ship its undesirables over, Uncle Sam may have to enlarge his deportation facilities. A husband who lost heavily at cards was hit over the head by his wife with a poker. Nothing like a poker to stop poker!

Honorable W. H. Lewis Delivered Strong Address In Portland, Oregon (By Associated Negro Press) Portland, Ore., Aug. 19.—William H. Lewis, the noted Negro lawyer of Boston, Mass., delivered a notable address at the Lincoln high school last Monday night. Among other things, Mr. Lewis declared: "Colored men helped to make the world safe for democracy in the recent war, and yet nowhere in this country is the Negro safe from mob violence. It appears that everywhere he is made to feel that the rights guaranteed by the constitution of the United States are not for him." (By Chester Maryland) Mrs. J. A. Lewis left last week for Superior to spend a few days visiting her husband. Mrs. S. H. Tate of Gary, Ind., is a visitor in camp this week. She is a guest in the home of her niece, Mrs. Mary Maryland. A party of Rayites motored to Superior last Sunday to witness the ball game between Ray and Superior. The score was 6 to 1 in favor of Superior.

Crump and daughter, Dorothy, motored to Phoenix Sunday to visit the family. Mrs. C. A. Maryland and Chester, Jr., and aunt, Mrs. S. H. Ttate, left last week for Hayden, where Mrs. Tate will remain for several months visiting her brother, Wm. Lewis. Miss Louise Lewis, who was visiting in Ray, returned to Hayden with her sister, Mrs. Maryland. ON WARPATH IN ALABAMA (By Associated Negro Press') Ozark, Ala., Aug. 19.—Sills Spinks and Juster Jennings were lynched here last Saturday night following an attack on a white woman at Midland City. The bodies of the two Negroes were discovered out on the road between here and Midalnd City. Several Negroes have been given notice to leave the city at once. Feeling is very high and there may be more lynchings. A most grievous mistake can be made at this time by asking a man in overalls if he would like the job of beating your rugs. W. D. WATKIN Grand. Master. WM. M. McDONALD, Grand Secretary. White Men Lured To Ruin By Colored Women, Is Charge (By Associated Negro Press) Meridian, Miss., Aug. 19.—Negro prostitutes are being driven from the city by the police.

The St. Louis Independent Clarion, which has been under the management of C. K. Robinson during the past five years, passes from his hands and control with the issue of August 7th, 1920.

PROF. KELLY MILLER DELIVERED NOTABLE ADDRESS IN PHOENIX Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C., delivered a notable address Monday night, Aug. 16, at the high school auditorium. In the course of his remarks he said that lawlessness was gnawing at the vitals of this nation and that there would be no peace until we had a perfect people. The professor scored Mr. Wilson and his League of Nations, and remarked that before we got through with the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations it would be a "piece of a league." A large crowd turned out to hear the address and there were many Caucasians in the audience, who seemed to enjoy the lecture. J. L. Davis, president of the Phoenix Protective League, under whose auspices the lecture was given, acted as master of ceremonies. Preceding the introduction of Dean Kelly Miller by Rev. M. Thompson of the C. M. E. church, a short program was rendered, consisting of a vocal solo by Harold Carriger, piano solo by Miss Cora Smith, and a solo by Mrs. W. J. Jones.

Silks are coming down in price and there is growing uneasiness lest silk be used as an adulterant of these high-priced cotton goods. TRIBUTE BY COOLIDGE Northampton, Mass. In his speech of acceptance of the Republican nomination for Vice-President here, Governor Calvin Coolidge made the following brilliant reference to the loyalty and worth of the colored citi-zens: "There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty, they remained loyal, serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing $1 out of every $5 they possessed in Liberty Bonds, surely they hold the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from all imposition, to be defended from lynching, and to be freely granted equal opportunities."

Let us take up the turning, make it up in the case of the individual, us be optimistic and say: everyone work in life. Some say, life is like a pendulum to turn back the other way. Remember, former jumping from one trapeze to another and swings and swings; finally, in his swinging, he lets go, and is the same principle is true in every-day life enough, and swing hard enough, to make in life. In every person's career there is a turning point, it is often like going up the side on top the going is easy, and the side on top of "Umbrella Rock" on Lilmooga, Tennessee? It is a magnificent landscape covering historical points in so far to go up the mountain side in a way, before you have the privilege. The turning point in life is not a new vision. It matters not what experience; what obstacles and stumbling your pathway, what seemingly false in the crisis; what unkind things have things have been left unsaid, if the day's turning point for success has come, andades cannot hamper your progress, not in the valley. You are high up here the ether waves of victory trawliness. In every avenue of our life, every man and women, who are reaching the top and place to think of pausing; the thing "Door of Opportunity" is opened, and is before you. The race everywhere who have decided to join the ARC have you know of life, the greater your chance speech of a reformed drunkard mind, and has more living philosopheries of a "Never-touched-a-drop-er." No race can stand still in the tide of FORWARD or GO DOWN. This is so many of whom live only for a their FAITH and ASPIRATION or side. In some way we must reach the TRUTH. This is one of the aspirational PRESS. The white man HEAL race. If we are wise we will make out the Negro. The greatest service just now that the Negro pulpit, schoolroom and proPE and RACE-IDEALS. There is always a turning point—"for better or for worse," as it were. Let us take up the turning point for better. Let us take it up in the case of the individual rather than the group. Let us be optimistic and say: everyone has a chance to make his mark in life. Some say, life is like a pendulum that swings far one way then back the other way. Remember, the ways of the trapeze performer jumping from one trapeze to the other? He holds on lightly and swings and swings; finally, having reached a half circle in his swinging, he lets go, and is carried to the other point. The same principle is true in every-day success. If we hold on light enough, and swing hard enough, we can reach the desired place in life. In every person's career there is a turning point. Getting to the point, it is often like going up the side of a mountain, but once on top of the going is easy, and the scenery is fine. Were you ever on top of "Umbrella Rock" on Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Tennessee? It is a magnificent view. Before you is a landscape covering historical points in seven different states. But you have to go up the mountain side in the incline car, or some other way, before you have the privilege of the view. The turning point in life is not a matter of luck, but one of decision. It matters not what experience you have passed through; what obstacles and stumbling blocks have been placed in your pathway, what seemingly false friends have deserted you in the crisis; what unkind things have been said, or what kind things have been left unsaid, if the day of decision is reached, the turning point for success has come, and all the militant powers of hades cannot hamper your progress, for you are on the mountain, not in the valley. You are high up in the realm of POWER where the ether waves of victory travel on through time and eternity. In every avenue of our life, everywhere; there are young men and women, who are reaching the turning point. It is not a good place to think of pausing; the thing to do is GO FORWARD. The "Door of Opportunity" is opened, and the "Pathway of Success" is before you. The race everywhere has a crying need for those who have decided to join the ARMY OF VICTORY. The more you know of life, the greater your possibilities. The temperance speech of a reformed drunkard, always sinks deeper in the mind, and has more living philosophy, than the fine spun theories of a "Never-touched-a-drop-er." NO RACE CAN RISE ABOVE ITS FAITH (By Drusilla Dunjee Houston) The greatest thing in the way of the Negro, is a lack of race hope. He has heard so long this clamorous American chorus, that he is a brute and that his ancestors were Jungle Folk, that it is high time the program were changed. In many cases the masses of this race, because we have not told them the TRUTH about their ancestry, have lost ambition an dare only MARKING TIME. No race can stand still in the tide of advancement. It must GO FORWARD or GO DOWN. This generation of young Negroes, so many of whom live only for a GOOD TIME, we must lift their FAITH and ASPIRATION or as a race we will retrograde. In some way we must reach the masses of the race with the TRUTH. This is one of the aspirations of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS. The white man HEADLINES the evil about the race. If we are wise we will make as prominent the BEST about the Negro. The greatest service just now that can be rendered the race by the Negro pulpit, schoolroom and press, will be to lift RACE-HOPE and RACE-IDEALS. Lynching is the game of a savage.

There is some difference between the leader of a movement and the leader of men. He gets to Heaven who starts early and keeps his eyes on the sign posts along the way. Don't let prejudice lead you to do the unjust act. There is a skeleton in most men's closet.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING WISE AND OTHERWISE All the overalls have left is the air in debonair. All things come to him who waits—even lower prices. This idea of wearing overalls doesn't love a fat man. If extravagance be fashionable a lot of people are out of style. Sugar is a necessity, but its price is figured on a hurry basis. Armenia, as a new republic, should cease to be a chronic beggar. The political pot will soon be calling the other party's kettle black. Somebody with a heart should be given a mandate over the weather. No need to communicate with Mars; we have troubles enough of our own. Very few women balk at bungalow aprons because they have no bungalows. Still, there's no denying we need a whole lot more daylight on a lot of things. Why does a house no longer need an attic? Because the junkman calls every three months. Some people are finding it difficult to be good. American citizens and reds at the same time. Japan is experiencing the dark brown taste that follows a dizzy whirl of misdirected prosperity. As an indication of Spain's speed, some train bandits effected their escape in a two-horse carriage. Another article of clothing a good many of our ancestors didn't consider an absolute necessity is socks. One advantage of building small homes is that they are likely to be homes and not mere apartments. As the white-collar man gets accustomed to overalls he may decide to take the job that goes with them. Europe might as well understand now as later that we can't support her in the style in which she was raised. The ultimate consumer is not in a position to exercise any great influence by threats of a hunger strike. The army mule has made good on all his traditions, even in the face of honest hostility by official report makers. Congested housing is aiding the spread of tuberculosis. Fooling with the laws of health is expensive business. China is reported to lead the world in the high cost of funerals. Wouldn't you hate to be "caught dead" in China? Paris styles are running to the allegorical bird wings on the shoes, typifying how swiftly the dollars fly to get them. The cost of living may be further modified, if in addition to wearing overalls, every man will carry his own dinner pail. Perhaps the world may yet get back to pre-war conditions. An actress announces she has just been robbed of her diamonds. A wise teacher never attempts to teach more than he knows. The old-fashioned man who used to tell you to "say when" now has a son who decides little matters like that himself. It's hard to wean some people from the fear of public opinion. Now, public opinion makes men known, and that's what you want if you have something to sell or trade. Sin is a short word, and often makes short work of its victims. Honesty is not only "the first step toward greatness," its is greatness itself. Politeness is one of the best investments known. It pays enormous dividends. While we look for a better day to come, let us see how good we can make today. True friendship is like sound health—the value of it is seldom known until it is lost. Happiness is a perfume that one cannot shed over another without a few drops falling on oneself. Don't stick thorns into some one's happiness because you heard a mean thing that some one said. Forget it. Never repeat. THE STRANGE CASE OF CAVENDISH The girl folded the message, thrust it in her jacket pocket, then turning to the marshal and Westcott, gave each a firm hand. "You've both been more than kind," she said gratefully. "H—m'am," Dan deprecated, "that warn't nothin'!" And he hurried into the street as loud cries sounded outside. "Good-night, Miss Donovan," Westcott said simply. "If you are ever frightened or in need of a friend, call on me. I'll be in town two days yet, and after that Pete here can get word to me." Then, with an admiring, honest gaze, he searched her eyes a moment before he turned and strolled toward the rude cigar case. pipe. Beaton laughed, assuming a semblance of good nature. "My questions were prompted solely by by curiosity," he explained, evidentally not wholly at ease. "I was expecting a young woman, and thought this new arrival might prove to be my friend." "Hardly," returned Westcott dryly. "As the landlord informed you, Miss Donovan is a lady." If he expected this shot to take effect he was disappointed, for the grin never left Beaton's face. "Ah, a good joke; a very good joke indeed. But you misunderstand; this is altogether a business matter. This young woman whom I expect is coming here on a mining deal is not "All right, now, ma'am?" Pete Timmons said, picking up her vase. The girl nodded, and together they went up the rude stairs to her room, where Timmons paused at the door. "Well, I'm glad you're here," he said, moving away. "We've been waitin' for you to show. I may be wrong, ma'am, but I'd bet my belt that you're the lady that's been expected by Ned Beaton." "You're mistaken," she replied shortly. As she heard him clatter down the stairs Miss Stella Donovan of the New York Star knew that her visit would not be in vain. The miner waited, leaning against the desk. Timmons came down the stairs, eager to ask questions. "Lady friend o' yours, Jim?" he asked. "If I'd a known she wus comin' I a saved a better room." "I have never seen her until tonight, Pete. She got off the train and Carson asked me to escort her uptown—it was dark, you know." "What do you suppose she's come here for?" "Not the slightest idea; I take it that's her business." "Sure; but a feller can't help wonderin', can he? Donovan," he mused, peering at the name; "that's Irish, I take it hey?" "Suspiciously so; you are some detective, Pete. I'll give you another clue—her eyes are Irish gray." He sauntered across to the stove, and stood looking idly at the card-players, blue wreaths of tobacco smoke circling up from the bowl of his pipe. Some one opened the street door, letting in a babel of noise, and walked heavily across the office floor. West-cott turned about to observe the newcomer. He was a burly, red-faced man, who had evidently been drinking heavily, yet was not greatly under the influence of liquor, dressed in a checked suit of good cut and fashion, but hardly in the best of taste. He bore all the carmarks of a commercial traveler of a certain sort—a domineering personality, making up by sheer nerve what he might lack in brains. But for his words the miner would have given the fellow no further thought. "Say, Timmons." he burst forth noisily, and striding over to the desk, "the marshal tells me a dame blew in from New York tonight—is she registered here?" The landlord shoved the book forward, with one finger on the last signature. "Yep," he said shortly, "but she ain't the one you wuz lookin' for—I asked her that, furst thing." "Stella Donovan—huh! That's no name ever I heard; what's she look like? Dark or light?" "Waal, sorter medium, I should say; brown hair with a blit o' red in it, an' a pair o' gray eyes full of fun—some girl, to my notion." The questioner struck his fist on the wood sharply. "Well, what the devil do you suppose such a woman has come to this hole clear from New York for, Timmons? What's her game, anyhow?" "Blessed if I know," and the proprietor seated himself on a high stool. "I didn't ask no questions like that; maybe the gent by the stove there might give yer all the information yer P "Miss Donovan is a Lady." want. He brought her up from the depoo, an' kin talk English. Say, Jim, this yere is is a shorthorn frum New York, named Beaton, an' he seems ter be powerfully interested in skirts—Beaton, Mr. Jim Westcott. pipe. Beaton laughed, assuming a semblance of good nature. "My questions were prompted solely by curiosity," he explained, evidently not wholly at ease. "I was expecting a young woman, and thought this new arrival might prove to be my friend." "Hardly," returned Westcott dryly. "As the landlord informed you, Miss Donovan is a lady." If he expected, this shot to take effect he was disappointed, for the grin never left Beaton's face. "Ah, a good joke; a very good joke, indeed. But you misunderstand; this is altogether a business matter. This young woman whom I expect is coming here on a mining deal—it is not a love affair at all, I assure you." "I thought possibly you might care to question me regarding my acquaintance with the young woman?" Westcott went on, his voice hardening slightly. "If so, I have not the slightest objection to telling you that it consists entirely of acting as her escort from the station to the hotel. I do not know why she is here, how long she intends staying, or what her purpose may be. Indeed, there is only one fact I do know which may be of interest to you." Beaton, surprised by the language of the other, remained silent, his face turning purple, as a suspicion came to him that he was being made a fool of. "It is this, my friend—who she is, what she is, and why she happens to be here, is none of your d—n business, and if you so much as mention her name again in my presence you are going to regret it to your dying day. That's all." Beaton, glancing about at the uplifted faces of the card players, chose to assume an air of indifference, which scarcely accorded with the anger in his eyes. "Ah, come now," he blurted forth, "I didn't mean anything; there's no harm done—let's have a drink, and be friends." Westcott shook his head. "No, I think not," he said slowly. "I'm not much of a drinking man myself, and when I do I choose my own company. But let me tell you something Beaton, for your own good. I know your style, and you are mighty apt to get into trouble out here if you use any Bowery tactics." Bowery tactics: "Yes; you claim to live in New York, and you possess all the earmarks of the East side bad man. There is nothing keeping you now from roughing it with me but the sight of this gun in my belt, and a suspicion in your mind that I may know how to use it. That suspicion is correct. Now you go back to your barroom, where you will find plenty of your own kind to associate with. It's going to be dangerous for you to hang around here any longer." Beaton felt the steady eyes upon him, but was carrying enough liquor to make him reckless. He stepped backward, feigning a laugh, watchful to catch Westcott off his guard. "All right, then," he said, "I'll go get the drink; you can't bluff me." Westcott's knowledge of the class alone brought to him the man's purpose. Beaton's hand was in the pocket of his coat, and, as he turned, apparently to leave the room, the cloth bulged. With one leap forward the miner was at his throat. There was a report, a flash of flame, the speeding bullet striking the stove, and the next instant Beaton, his hand still helplessly imprisoned within the coat pocket, was hurled back across a card table, the players scattering to get out of the way. All the pent-up dislike in Westcott's heart found expression in action; the despicable trick wrought him to a sudden fury, yet even then there came to him no thought of killing the fellow, no memory even of the loaded gun at his hip. He wanted to choke him, strike him with his hands. "You dirty coward," he muttered fiercely. "So you thought the pocket trick was a new one out here, did you? Come, give the gun up! Oh! so there is some fight left in you? Then let's settle it here." It was a struggle between two big, strong men—the one desperate, unscrupulous, brutal; the other angry enough, but retaining self-control! They crashed onto the floor, Westcott still retaining the advantage of position, and twice, he struck, driving his clenched fist home. Suddenly he became aware that some one had jerked his revolver from its holster and, almost at the same instant a hard hand gripped the neck-band of his shirt and tore him loose from Beaton. "Here now—enough of that, Jim," said a voice sternly, and his hands arose instinctively as he recognized the gleam of two drawn weapons fronting him. "Help Beaton up, Joe. Now, look yere, Mr. Bully Westcott, and the speaker shook his gun threateningly. "As it happens, you have jumped on a friend o' ours, an' we naturally propose to take a hand in this game—you know me!" Westcott nodded, an unpleasant smile on his lips. "I do, Lacy," he said coolly, "and that if there is any dirty work going on in this camp it is quite probable you and your gang are in it. Now listen; you've got me covered, and that is my gun which Moore has in his hand. I cannot fight you alone and unarmed; but I can talk yet." "I reckon yer can, if that's goin' ter do yer eny good." "So the La Rosita Mining company is about to be revived, is it? Eastern capital becoming interested. I've heard rumors of that for a week past. What's the idea? 'Struck anything?' SATURDAY. AUGUST 21. 1920 Pete Sauer vs. Sam Chapman brim, grinned at the others as though at a good joke. "No, nuthin' particular as yet." he answered; "but you hev', an' I reckon that's just about as good. Tryin' tern keep it dark, wasn't yer? Never even thought we'd caught on." "Oh, yes, I did; you flatter yourselves. I caught one of your stool-pigeons up the gulch yesterday, and more than ten days ago Moore and Edson made a trip into my tunnel while I happened 'to be away; they forgot to hide their trail. I knew what you were up to, and you can all of you look for a fight." "When your partner gets out here, I suppose," sneered Lacy. "Oh, will he? Well, he's a h—— of a while coming. You wired him a month ago, and yer' written him twice since. Oh, I've got the cases on you all right, Westcott. I know you haven't got a cent left to go on with, and nowhere to get any except through him." He laughed. "Ain't that right? Well, then, yer chances look mighty slim ter me just at present, ol'-timer. However, there's no fight on yet; will yer behave yerself, an' iet this man Beaton alone if I hand yer back yer gun?" "There is no choice left me." "Sure; that's sensible enough; give it to him, Moore." He broke the chamber, shaking the cartridges out into his palm; then handed the emptied weapon over to Westcott. His manner was purposefully insulting, but the latter stood with lips firmly set, realizing his position. "Now, then, go on over thar an' sit down," continued Lacy. "Maybe, if yer wait long enough, that partner o' yours might blow in. Come on, boys, let's liquor. Big Jim Westcott has his cut, and it's Beaton's turn to spend a little." Westcott sat quietly in the chair as they filed out; then took the pipe from his pocket and filled it slowly. He realized his defeat, his helplessness, but his mind was already busy with the future. CHAPTER V. A Night and a Morning. Stella Donovan never forgot the miseries of her first night in Haskell. When old Man Timmons finally left her, after placing the firing lamp on a chair, and went pattering back down the bare hall, she glanced shudderingly about at her unpleasant surroundings, none too pleased with the turn of events. The bed-clothing, once turned back and inspected, was of a nature to prevent the girl from disrobing; but finally she lay down, seeking such rest as was possible, after turning the flickering flames of the lamp as low as she dared, and then finally blowing it out altogether. Her thoughts, never still, wandered over the events of the evening—the arrival at Haskell station, the strange meeting with Westcott, and the sudden revelation that he was the partner of Frederick Cavendish. The big, good-natured miner had interested her from the first as representing a perfect type of her preconceived ideal of the real westerner. She had liked the firm character of his face, the quiet, thoughtful way in which he acted, the whole unobtrusive bearing of the man. Already he had awakened her trust; she felt convinced that if she needed friendship, advice, even actual assistance, here was one whom she could implicitly trust. She was young and she awoke rested and refreshed, in spite of the fact that her body ached at first from the discomfort of the cot. She stared about at the bare, board walls, the bullet-scarred mirror, the cracked pitcher, before she could fully reassure herself; then stepped upon the disreputable rug and crossed to the open window. She straightened up, emitting a swift breath of delight, as her wide-open eyes surveyed the marvelous scene of mingled loveliness and grandeur. The stream, curving like a great snake, gleamed amid the acres of green grass, its swift waters sparkling in the sun. Beyond, seemingly at no distance at all, yet bordered by miles of turf and desert, the patches of vivid green interspersed with the darker coloring of spruce, and the outcropping of brown rocks, the towering peaks of a great mountain-chain swept up into the clear blue of the sky, black almost to their summits, which were dazzling with the white of unmuted snow. The girl's eyes dwelt lovingly for some time on the far-flung line of mountains, before she finally released the green shade, and shut out the scene. Her toilet was a matter of but a few minutes, although she took occasion to slip on a fresh waist, and to brighten up the shoes, somewhat soiled by the tramp through the thick dust the evening before. Indeed, it was a very charming young woman, her dress and appearance quite sufficiently eastern, who finally ventured out into the rough hall, and down the single flight of stairs. The hotel was silent, except for the heavy breathing of a sleeper in one of the rooms she passed, and a melancholy-looking Chinaman, apparently engaged in chamber work at the further end of the hall. She passed out into the bright sunshine, and clear mountain air. The board walk ended at the corner of the hotel, but a narrow cinder path continued down that side of the street for some distance. Through the rude window at the post office the clerk pushed a plain manila envelope into her outstretched hand. Evidently from the thinness of the letter, Farriss had but few instructions to give and, thrusting Success is getting dollars and at the same time preventing your neighbor from getting as many Tally's Arena FRIDAY, AUGUST 20th 8:30 P.

The home purchased by Mrs. Smith is thoroughly modern in every respect; has beam ceiling, hardwood floors, beautiful lawn with flowers and other shrubbery. It is located at 1134 East 34th street in a 'desirable neighborhood and cost just $3,500. Mrs. B. Smith is well known in Phoenix, having been a resident of this city for more than fifteen years. Visiting in Santa Monica The following bit of news from Santa Monica, Cal., will prove interesting to many of our readers: Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Washington of Horton, Kan., arrived in Santa Monica last week and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Washington of Phoenix, Ariz., who also are spending the summer on the coast. Mr. L. W. Washington and wife will accompany their brother, Mr. W. W. Washington, and his wife to Phoenix this fall, where they will make their permanent home. Sightseeing in San Diego Mr. Chas, F. Carter of Phoenix, writes that he is enjoying his vacation in San Diego, where the cool breezes blow and extends his heartfelt sympathy to his swelling friends in Phoenix. Conducts Thriving Business Mr. L. J. Fort, owner of the confectionery store at 700 South Seventh avenue, is doing a thriving business. Mr. Fort opened this little store less than three months ago and has succeeded in building up an excellent trade. He is an old newspaper man and knows the value of printer's ink. Forgot His License Friends and relatives of Mr. Tod Tannehill, 1719 East Jefferson street, tell an amusing little story on him. Mr. Tannehill, who before his marriage a few days ago to Mrs. Jennie Simpson, was a widower and lived alone in his home at the above address. On the evening the marriage was to take place, he came home, dressed himself and attempted to slip out the back way so that his friends and relatives next door would not know what was to transpire. How heit, he forgot and left his marriage license on the bed and had to return for it. Then the news leaked out and they gave him a jolly time. He remarked that it was all right if they would just keep it out of the Tribune. Of course, we wouldn't dare publish an account of it, not us. No, never The C. M. E. church is still maintaining its record congregations during the hot summer months, thanks to the masterly sermons delivered by the pastor, Rev. M. Thompson. Last Sunday night there was hardly standing room. Two new members were added to its growing membership. Next Sunday morning Rev. Thompson will preach on "The Joy That Comes to an Individual Who Surrenders Himself to God." Evening, "Citizenship in Heaven." Hear him. Sunday School Picnic The Sunday'school of the C. M. E. church will give a picnic at East Lake Park, Saturday, Aug. 21st. All of the Sunday schools of the different churches and friends are invited. The midsummer festival of the C. M. E. church of last week was a success. For three nights in succession the church was filled to capacity. A feature of the festival was a complete change of program each night. The performance will be repeated again next summer. On Picnic Outing Last Sunday a jolly group of Pho- nix people motored out near Chandler to enjoy a little picnic. In the party were: Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. John Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Pat Rivers, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Glass. Hunting, fishing and other sports were indulged in and all report an enjoyable time. Infant Son Passes Christopher Thomas Childress, Jr. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING infant son of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Childress, 828 East Washington street, passed away Monday, August 16th, after a lingering illness. The funeral will be held as soon as a sister and brother, Clorell and Parquet Childress, arrive. Home From Texas Mrs. W. A. Brown of 112 South Eighth street returned a few days ago from San Angelo, Texas, where she had been visiting relatives. Her sister, Mrs. Wm. Carter of San Antonio, Texas, accompanied her to Phoenix and will remain for an indefinite stay. Notice to the Public We have five colored ladies in Phoenix who are qualified by training and experience to take care of any case of home sickness, and we suggest that you give them a trial.

Olive Baptist church, at Globe, and president of the Paradise Baptist Convention, spent a few days in Phoenix this week while en route to Waverly, Texas, where he will remain for an indefinite time. The Tribune will follow, of course. CARD OF THANKS We desire to thank our many friends for their sympathy and loving kindness during the illness and death of our son, Christopher Thomas Childress, Jr., who departed this life Monday, August 16. THOMAS C. CHILDRESS. Mrs. THOMAS C. CHILDRESS. Large Attendance Sunday services at Tanner chapel, A. M. E. church, were well attended and the spirit ran high. The pastor delivered two able sermons and all were benefited by his words. The collection for the day was $27.00. PRESCOTT Mrs. John Suddoth returned Sunday from Phoenix, whither she had been visiting for the summer. Her stay was cut short on account of being called by her husband to look after business matters at home. Mrs. Suddoth has greatly improved in health and is feeling fine. Mrs. Lucy Mackey Haywood is a recent arrival and is staying at the home of Mrs. W. D. Alexander. Mrs. C. B. Blakeley of Tucson is a visitor in the city and is staying at the home of Mrs. W. D. Alexander. Sunday services at the A. M. E. church were well attended. The pastor delivered two strong sermons and the collection was up to the usual high standard. Mrs. William Page is taking a vacation and is planning to go on a fishing trip with her husband and daughter. Dr. and Madam E. E. Hilbert entertained Rev. Boatner at 10 o'clock breakfast Sunday morning. Mrs. O. G. Howard of Phoenix is the house guest of Mrs. F. Alexander in North Monezuma street. Citizens of Prescott, especially well wishers of the People's A. M. E. Zion church, after a long and patient wait for a pastor, having laid their demands before the bishop for an able and experienced leader, have at last realized their dreams. Dr. D. W. Boatner, late of Kansas, has arrived and is now in charge of the work. He is a scholar of the first magnitude and has had some thirty-five or forty years' experience, both as pastor and as professor of several universities at different times, is already stirring up things. He is an able exponent of God's word, forceful, logical and sincere. We predict that in a very short time the consensus of opinions on the entire western coast will be that Dr. Boatner is one of the strongest men in the ministry. We realize that we are on the threshold of a new day and we hail the same with joy. We hope that he will continue to wield the sword of victory until ignorance and indifference shall vanish into oblivion. Life and the conductor of a trolley car find it mighty hard to get people to move up toward the front. We hate ingratitude, but next to that we hate the man who does you a favor and then expects you to go on forever being grateful. What's become of the old-fashioned husband who used to have to beat all the carpets in the backyard about this time of year? The minute you make up your mind that you know all about your own business some young fellow is getting ready to go by you. One of the strangest things we know of is how men with less brains than we've got make more money than we do without getting arrested. DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN BUY Refrigerators, Oil Stoves, Rugs, Linoleum and Trunks, Suit Cases and Valises—in fact, anything in the FURNITURE LINE. Now and then you run across a man who is willing to take what he can get without insisting that he is entitled to the best there is in the house. There's no use arguing with a young man who has made up his mind to be a June groom. If the present prices won't scare him nothing you can say will. Somehow or other we can't help thinking that the man who makes the automobile is a better and more useful citizen than the man who merely rides in one. A lot of clerks seem to have the mistaken notion that what customers come into the store for is an argument, when service is really what they are after. Also, we wish we knew waht the laundryman wants with so many of our buttons. And it has just about gotten so in this country that even a philanthropist doesn't give away all his money. Another reason why a man who makes a three-hour speech is opposed to woman suffrage is because he is afraid she will talk too much. Personally we disclaim all ingenuity, but sometimes we have wondered if the moth ball dissolved in turpentine would interest a regular drunkard. Tillie Clinger says that the reason she didn't last long as clerk at the candy store was because the boss soured on her sweet tooth. It is because a woman is a riddle that man is so reluctant to give her up. A woman's instinct is that which tells her she is right whether she is or not. Most of the mischief in this world is done by the people who go about doing good. The good die because they realize that there isn't much use living if they have to be good. The astonishing woman is she who can conquer the world in a frock she has made herself. No matter how loose an engagement ring may be, the diamond never slips round on the inside of a lady's finger. A man who looks at a woman because he wants to; a woman at a man because she wants him to look at her. The road to greatness runs through every occupation. The test of every man will not be that of skill, but of honor. Far worse than having work to do is not having any work to do. The fool is not the only one who is soon parted from his money nowadays. The automatic inkwell has netted $200,000. The roller skate has paid $1,000,000 in rolayties. The suspender garter patent was sold for $50,000. The glass lemon squeezer made $50,000 for the inventor. Wooden shoe pegs earned half a million dollars in royalties. The ball-and-socket glove fastener has passed the million mark. The return ball toy, a rubber ball on a rubber string, yielded half a million dollars a year in royalties for a number of year. The Peruvian government will link scattered communities on the eastern slopes of the Andes by an airplane service, carrying passengers, mail and freight. A recently patented automobile windshield has a band of silvered glass along the top to serve as a rear vision mirror for all the occupants of a car.

In addition to this every communication that went out from my office during the war was signed "Special Assistant to the Secretary of War." It is for that reason that I am a bit surprised that you should have rested under the impression that I had served in statutory relationship to the war department. My book, "The American Negro in the World War," which was published during the summer of 1919, carries a full and complete statement of the circumstances surrounding the creation of this place during the war and on page 49 a copy of the letter written by the secretary of war reading as follows: Office of the Secretary of War November 1, 1917. To Division and Brigade Commanders; I have appointed Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, as a special assistant to the secretary of war, to advise with respect to the colored people of the United States, colored drafted men, and the colored men who constitute units of national guard divisions. He will be visiting national army cantonments and national guard camps, and it is my desire that he be given every opportunity to follow up the work I have entrusted to his care. He will personally present this letter. Secretary of War. This letter addressed to brigade and division commanders makes it clear that my activities covered a wide area and must make plain to you that the executive relationship of that position were more inclusive than your editorial would seek to convey.
