VOL. III. No. 22 WHITE GENTLEMAN CHARGES BLACK STOLE WIFE'S AFFECTIONS (Special to the Tribune) Lexington, N. C., Aug. 25. A great sensation has been caused here by the filing last week of an unusual suit against Baxter McCary, wealthy Negro and prominent Mason, business man and educator, by H. B. Varner, white editor of the Lexington Dispatch and head of the North Carolina prison board, for $100,000 damages on the complaint that McCary had "ruined his domestic life" and alienated his wife's affections. At the same time Varner filed suit for absolute divorce from his wife for her alleged part in the affair. The social prominence of the Varners, who stand high among the exclusive aristocracy of the South, has added to the sensational features of the case. McCary is equally prominent among his own people and stands high in the esteem of the general community, being accounted one of its wealthiest and most substantial citizens. McCary is a man about 60 years old, well educated and of pleasing personality. He is prominent in Masonic and Methodist circles and has for years been a member of the board of trustees of Bennett College of Greensboro, N. C., a school conducted by the Methodist Episcopal church. He lives in Lexington's most exclusive residential section, his residence alone being worth $50,000. Located in a large, well-kept park of several acres, it is one of the show places of the city. Besides this, he is reputed to own about one-sixth of all the business section of this place. He owns about one-third of the large brick office buildings of this city, many of which are occupied by white business firms. Most of his wealth came to him by inheritance, he having been born of wealthy parentage. It is supposed that court action in McCary's case has for its basis a well-devised plan to extract from him much of his coveted wealth, else the whites of this section would have followed the usual method of handling such cases. Lexington is a prosperous town of about twelve thousand inhabitants situated on the main line of the Southern railway system between New York and all points south, and is midway between Greensboro and Salisbury and twenty-one miles south of Winston-Salem. It is famous as a cotton and tobacco center, many of the largest cotton mills in the south being located here. WOMAN WOULD VAMP UNWILLING BARKIS SENTENCED TO PRISON WOMAN WOULD VAMP UNWILLING BARKIS SENTENCED TO PRISON (Special to the Tribune) Frederick, Md., Aug. 25.—Lou Warfield, white, was sentenced to one year in the house of correction for committing an assault on Mr. Frank Sewell, whose home is in New Market. The testimony in court showed that the Warfield woman came to the colored man's house about 3:30 or 4 o'clock Wednesday morning and asked him to help her pull her automobile out of the mud. He refused to come down stairs at first but finally went down after she called him a second time. Lou, it is said, asked him to marry her and made other unusual proposals. Mr. Sewell ordered her off his place and finally pushed her away. It was then that the vamp, using a penknife, cut him on the arm. Mr. Sewell is a respected citizen with a wife and family here. COLORED WOMAN SAID TO BE MOTHER OF $2,000,000 CLAIMANT (Special to the Tribune) Wheaton, Ill.—The mother of William Cowan Lowry, claimant of the $2,000,000 estate of William Cowan, has been located on a plantation near New Madrid, Mo., according to State Attorney Charles Hadley. The woman is a Negro and says she did not know the late oil magnate, Hadley declared. Lowry claimed the estate on the ground he was a son of Cowan. Japan promises to withdraw from Siberia when Siberia is no longer a menace to Manchuria. That combines oriental subtlety and Asiatic wit in a way calculated to make the judicious giggle. STRANGEST CASE IN HISTORY OF SOUTH ATTRACTS ATTENTION (Special to the Tribune) Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 25.—The state of Georgia is making desperate efforts to secure the extradition of N. N. Starling, white, and Mrs. Annie Rodwell, colored, both of whom are in the local jail. The case is the strangest that has ever come to light in the history of the local courts and again shows up racial relations in the South in their true light. Both the man and woman are married and had their home in Hahira, Ga., where Starling's father is a wealthy lumberman. Mrs. Rodwell's husband works on the Starling plantation. Two years ago the younger Starling saw pretty Mrs. Rodwell for the first time and fell in love with her. The elder Starling noticed the intimacy and organized a party of lynchers to take the woman away. On the way to the Rodwell house, young Starling met them and succeeded in getting them to turn back by saying the house was filled with armed colored people and they would all be killed. Frightened, Mrs. Rodwell left the Starling farm and went to live in Valdosta, Ga., fourteen miles away. Although Starling knew his father and brothers would lynch the colored girl if he kept paying attentions to her, he continued to visit her house, and two weeks ago was caught there by his family. Another lynching party was organized, of which Starling learned just in time to get the girl in his automobile and drive twelve miles to a nearby swamp, where they spent the night in water up to their knees hiding from the mob. They succeeded in getting to the train and came to Pittsburg. Now the state of Georgia wants the couple returned. Starling says he is perfectly willing to go without extradition papers, but he knows if his soulmate goes back, she will be lynched. MESA (By Alphonso Robinson) Born, this week, to Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cherry, a bouncing baby boy. The population of Mesa is increasing rapidly. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wallace have moved to their country home for the fall. Mr. Tom Richardson left this week for Gilbert, where he has accepted position as machinist in the cotton gin of the Attaway-Phelps company. Rev. J. H. Allen, presiding elder of the A. M. E. churches for this district, was in Mesa last Sunday and preached for the congregation at the A. M. E. church. There were several visitors from Tempe who came to enjoy the services. Mr. and Mrs. William Hiluet have moved to the country for the fall. Cotton is beginning to open in the valley and indications are that picking in the Salt River valley will be good this fall. Mrs. Neil Louis is a visitor from Phoenix. She is the house guest of Mrs. A. Turner on North Center street Miss Mellane Roach has been on the sick list the past month, but is now on the road to recovery. In last week's issue of the Tribune it was erroneously stated that Antioch Baptist church of Phoenix was refused admission to the convention which met a few days ago in this city. Antioch Baptist church of Phoenix made no application for admission to the convention, and therefore could not have been refused admission. Mrs. S. M. Taylor is on the sick list this week. Rev. J. M. Robinson spent a day in the capital city last week. BAPTISTS JOIN METHODISTS IN GREAT REVIVAL MEETING New York City, N. Y., Aug. 25.—The colored people in Harlem are conducting a series of large religious meetings. The meetings are held under the direction of the big colored churches and great numbers are being converted. The Baptists and the Methodists have joined in a common cause and the result is that the entire Harlem is ablaze with the greatest religious enthusiasm of years. According to a physician, posing as an expert, kissing in the dark is unsanitary. However, most men will continue to take a chance, as opportunity affords. 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." OVER HALF COLORED POPULATION OF MISS. HAS LEFT THE STATE (Special to the Tribune) Canton, Miss., Aug. 25—An unusual insignia that has never been seen in any southern city and, in fact, no city in America, is flying across the streets of Canton today. The insignia reads: "White and colored people, let's come together for the best interests of all." The move that is being made to bring a better understanding between the races is a result of the large exodus of the colored people from the state to northern cities. It is said that the state of Mississippi has lost over one-half of its colored population as the result of mob violence and that labor is at a premium for the farms and other minor occupations. This fact has caused the leading white people of the state to openly condemn the TRIBUTE BY North In his speech the Republican Vice-President Calvin Coolidge ing brilliant referealty and worth of zens: "There is especial colored race a mongonition of the rights. Tempted they remained the military formation, obedient to extent of hundred investing $1 out of possessed in Liberty they hold the citizenship, by quest, to be real position, to be lynching, and to ed equal oppoorty." EXTRA LARGE FEET CONDEMN BLACK MEN IN OLD ALABAMA EXTRA LARGE FEET CONDEMN BLACK MEN IN OLD ALABAMA (Special to the Tribune) Ozark, Ala., Aug. 25.—Following the lynching of two men, Sills Spinks and Juster Jennings, and burning of a Masonic lodge room by a mot of white men, all persons of our race have been warned to leave this city or suffer the fury of the mob. The wife of Andrew Spinks, brother of Sills Spinks, has been driven from her home and the dwelling has been burned to ashes. She was accused of no crime, but her relationship was considered "in bad" and the burden also fell on her, it is claimed. Andrew is in jail at Montgomery. Flimsy Identity Further trouble between the races is momentarily expected because the white men of the city have been attacking every woman of the race who appears on the street. They are beating them, it is claimed, unmercifully. The trouble began when the rumor gained wide circulation that Mrs. L. E. Dassenger (white) was murderously attacked. When interviewed, Mrs. Dassenger declared she "thought the man who assaulted her was colored." She saw his foot and "judged by the size of it that her assailant was a laborer." Spinks and Jennings were found on the street conversing a block away from the house and were seized by the mob. They were not permitted to make any statement and died without knowing what crime they were charged with. Man Is Shot Richard Jones, while awaiting for a train to leave the scene, was shot through the leg and arm by white men who were hiding in bushes. Jones said he was going to Birmingham. GLOBE MIAMI (By Modesta Young) Mr. and Mrs. Jackson have returned from points in California. Mrs. Rhodes of San Antonio, Texas, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Brvant. Mrs. Rachael Harris has been on the sick list but is improving. Mrs. Jackson of Fort Worth, Texas, who has been visiting friends in this city, returned home last week. Mrs. Rachael Wilson has returned from El Paso, where she has been visiting friends. Mrs. Jamison left a few days ago for points in Texas. Mrs. C. C. Stewart has returned from points in the East. We are glad to have our teacher with us again. Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins of Miami have purchased a bright new touring car and were visitors in Globe last week. Mr. Blue is a new arrival from Galveston, Texas. Mr. and Mrs. John Brown of Phoenix are recent arrivals in Globe. Mr. Brown is an expert piano tuner and repairer, having had more than twenty years' experience in the business. Services were held in the A. M. E. church at Miami Sunday. In attempting to solve the sugar problem the government officials are merely undertaking a job that hitherto has been that of the housewife. Some of the American draft dodgers who ran away to Mexico to escape the horrors of war must be awfully put out about the Sonora revolution. FLURIBUS UNUM OVER HALF COLORED POPULATION OF MISS. HAS LEFT THE STATE OVER HALF COLORED POPULATION OF MISS. HAS LEFT THE STATE (Special to the Tribune) (Special to the Tribune) Canton, Miss., Aug. 25.—An unusual insignia that has never been seen in any southern city and, in fact, no city in America, is flying across the streets of Canton today. The insignia reads: "White and colored people, let's come together for the best interests of all." The move that is being made to bring a better understanding between the races is a result of the large exodus of the colored people from the state to northern cities. It is said that the state of Mississippi has lost over one-half of its colored population as the result of mob violence and that labor is at a premium for the farms and other minor occupations. This fact has caused the leading white people of the state to openly condemn the maltreatment of colored people in Mississippi and a move is on to work for harmony among the races. Statistics gathered since the beginning of spring show that approximately 25,000 members of the race have left the state and each train is carrying loads to other sections. It is said that unless the exodus is stopped that the state will be unable to move the crop that has been made next fall. Another move that is being made to show the colored people of the state that they are to be dealt with fairly in the future is that a large number of cities are preparing to build better schools for their children. ACCEPTS WORK ONLY TO HAVE HIS HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE (Special to the Tribune) Coulterville, Ill., Aug. 25.—The home of William Morrison, a Negro, was destroyed by fire Tuesday because he was put to work by the West Virginia Coal company. All the Negroes have been ordered to leave town. Last Friday operators of the mine drove Morrison to the "East" pit in an automobile. The white miners refused to go down into the mine with him. The operators appeared with Morrison again on Saturday, and the white miners refused again to go down with him. Yesterday the operators waited until the white miners had descended into the mine, then brought Morrison to the pit. The operator of the cage refused to carry Morrison into the mine and was discharged. Other white miners below heard of the renewed effort to place Morrison in the pit and left their work. Within a few hours Morrison's home was destroyed by fire. SAME LAW FOR ALL PLAN OF GREAT LAW MAKERS OF DETROIT (Special to the Tribune) Detroit, Mich., Aug. 25.—Assistant Corporation Counsel Brumm, in reply to the request of the Department of Parks and Boulevards, has given out the law against discrimination in this city. The statute reads in part: "Sec. 1. All persons within the jurisdiction of this state shall be entitled to full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, eating houses, barber shops, public conveyances on land and water, theaters, motion picture houses and all other places of public accommodation, amusement and recreation and all public educational institutions of the state, subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike and to all citizens." "The Negro is now, by the constitution of the United States, given full citizenship with the white man, and all the rights and privileges of citizenship attend him wherever he goes. Whatever right a white man has in a public place, the black man has also, because of such citizenship." London reports that wives cost more in Central Africa. Why the geographical limitations? If you drink coffee substitutes, "there is a reason," to say nothing of that extra 2 cents a cup. Now there is a campaign on to get men to wear soft shirts. Something going on all the time. TRIBUNE TRIBUTE BY COOLIDGE 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 citizens: "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." ```markdown ``` THOMAS MADDOCK IN RACE FOR SENATE; MAKES STATEMENT THOMAS MADDOCK IN RACE FOR SENATE; MAKES STATEMENT Tom Maddock, state engineer, is in the race for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate. His candidacy was formally launched today-with the following statement: "I believe in: "Continuation of federal aid for highways by the passage of legislation which will give an advantage to public land states.

Alexander left Sunday for California. Little Miss Marion Jordan left Monday for Jerome, Ariz., for a brief visit with Miss Zola Ramsey. Miss Naomi Tabron returned last week from Flagstaff, where she has been attending the Summer Normal. Master Bennie Best entertained a number of his little friends at a party last week in honor of his birthday. Miss Helen H. Vance returned Tuesday from a business visit in the southern part of the state. Rev. and Mrs. S. E. Newell returned last week from Mesa, Ariz., where they have been attending the Paradise Baptist convention. Elder Ragsdale, an Adventist minister, spoke last Thursday night at the A. M. E. church in the absence of the bishop, who was scheduled to appear on that date. The congregation Sunday night at the People's A. M. E. Zion church was, to say the least, complimentary to the pastor, and the expressions generally indicated a very much pleased people. Bishop L. W. Kyles will preach Thursday night, August 26. There was some disappointment over the unavoidable failure for last Thursday on the part of the bishop. The pastor, Rev. Boatner, was out on a picnic with Rev. Harvey and wife, Tuesday, Aug. 24. COMING STATE FAIR PROMISES MANY NEW FEATURES FOR 1920 COMING STATE FAIR PROMISES MANY NEW FEATURES FOR 1920 Dates for the sixteenth annual Arizona State Fair will be November 8-13 inclusive, according to announcement made by Shirley Christy, secretary to the State Fair commission, and the moving force behind the success of the 1919 fair. Though it is difficult to predict this far in advance, the fair commission is confident that the attendance record will smash that of 60,000 for last year with upwards of 100,000 in 1920. Educational features will be stressed in this year's exhibits, especially in agricultural, horticultural and animal husbandry displays, and such co-operation is promised in the selection of superintendents as will insure fairness in placing all entries. Horse racing, automobile racing, cowboy stunts and other features will comprise the entertainment program. Special efforts are being made to secure a strong running schedule this year, and predictions are that it will not be difficult in view of the justly famous Phoenix track, on which innumerable records, both horse and automobile, have been broken. New features in the 1920 fair will be an Americanization exhibit in charge of Vernon Clark, and a big cotton display, showing the rapid growth of that industry in this state. The usual domestic art exhibits will attract housewives, while an unusually large dog show will attract puppy fanciers! "No matter what you look for, it will be found in the 1920 fair," say the commissioners. TUCSON One of the most delightful affairs of the season was a dinner given Friday evening by Mrs. Tom Hall complimentary to Mr. Taylor, a jeweler of Houston, Texas; Mrs. Rowland of Houston, Texas, and Miss Helen Harper Vance of Prescott. The color scheme of crimson and white was exquisitely carried out in a wealth of cut flowers and vivid streamers on a softly shaded, scintillating table. Coffee was served in the sitting room from the tea cart, after which beautiful strains of Hawaiian music and myriads of twinkling lights lured the guests to outdoor dancing and whist, ending an evening of delight which but adds to Mrs. Hall's fame as a charming hostess. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Creed Taylor; Mr. M. S. Sheppard of Baltimore, Md.; Mr. and Mrs. William Long, Miss Minnette Long, Mrs. Rose Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Nelson and Mr. Billy Pierce. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. meets the first Thursday night in the month at Mt. Calvary Baptist church and the second Thursday night at the A. M. E. church. Everybody urged to attend the meetings. We have just added twenty new members to the roll and all of them are Caucasians. We respectfully request our group to come out and join this organization as it is chiefly for you the association is working. Delegates to the Baptist convention in Mesa returned last week and report a great session. Mr. Joseph Moore, porter at the Scottish Rite, sent in his application to the Masons a few weeks ago and is tickled to death since learning that his application has been accepted and he will be permitted to "ride the goat." Mr. Gus Williams left several days ago for Chicago to spend his vacation. Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson of Houston, Texas, who the past month have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Frank Knox of 253 South Convent street, left a few days ago for home. Rev. C. C. Simmons returned a few days ago from Biskee, where he has been attending the Summer Normal. Mrs. Stokes of Texas is visiting her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Hightower. Mr. Green Nettles, brother of Mrs. Will Smith, passed away a few days ago at the home of his sister on South Meyer. Mrs. T. Parker, who a few days ago underwent a slight operation, has been removed to her home and is doing nicely. Eggs have been nationalized in Russia. Each section of the country must deliver a certain number of eggs to the soviet. Even the czar did not go as far as to lay the hens of the country under tribute. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year NEGRO BANKS SHOW WONDERFUL INCREASE DURING PAST YEAR NEGRO BANKS SHOW WONDERFUL INCREASE DURING PAST YEAR (Special to the Tribune) Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 25—The first colored bank in the United States to report resources over $1,000,000 is the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust company of this city. On June 30, the state commission was notified that the total resources of the Solvent bank were $1,018,633.25. The statement of the Memphis bank shows deposits of $941,722.34, and a total capital and surplus of $76,911.18. It had no overdrafts and no bills payable. The Solvent has loans and discounts of $405,689.71 and cash on hand and in depositories amounting to $417,395.50. Of the deposits $430,897.18 represented savings accounts and $140,778.70 time certificates of deposit. Twenty-five thousand people do business with the bank, according to a statement made by Mr. Bert M. Roddy, the cashier. Other Banks Nearing Mark The Brown Savings bank of Norfolk and the Wage-Earners' bank of Georgia have resources over $900,000 and may reach the $1,000,000 mark by the end of the year. The Mechanics' bank and St. Luke's bank of Portsmouth, and the Tidewater bank of Norfolk have passed the one-half million mark in resources. Twenty-five colored banks in the country exceed $250,000 in resources. Only one colored private bank in the country is worth in the neighborhood of a million dollars and that is Brown & Stevens in Philadelphia. SAUER WINS HANDILY FROM ALL OPPONENTS WITH FAMOUS TOE HOLD SAUER WINS HANDILY FROM ALL OPPONENTS WITH FAMOUS TOE HOLD Sam Clapham proved to the Phoenix public that he was a true sport last Friday night when he refused to quit until his shoulders were on the mat. Sauer clamped on one of his famous toe holds which Clapham was unable to break, and forced the Britisher's shoulders on the mat, and although his ankle and knee were badly sprained, he refused to quit. Pete won the first fall in one hour and twenty-six minutes and twenty seconds, which fall won the match owing to the fact that after an examination by a physician, Clapham was advised to discontinue the match. For the first hour and twenty minutes both men did wonderful work. Clapman would clamp his arms or legs around Pete's neck, and Pete would have to work off the mat to save himself. Then Pete would clamp on one of his famous toe holds, only to have Sam twist out, until he caught the fatal one. The referee would sometimes favor Sauer, but that did not cause him to win the match. During the match there was not a minute when it was not interesting, both men trying for holds and breaking the other fellow's. After the introduction of Tom Grant, who said he was going to try to find Sauer's weak spot, Yerru Miaki, the world's greatest jiu-jitsu wrestler, challenged the winner of the Sauer-Clapman match and also challenges any man in the world to a match, jiu-jitsu style, and a side bet of $5,000. ECHOES OF SLAVERY ECHOES OF SLAVERY (Special to the Tribune) Tuscaloosa, Ala., Aug. 25.—J. M. Weatherford has a copy of a bill of sale of a Negro girl, six years old, which was found among the papers of the late Devereaux Brown, known to so many people in this county. It was a very short document, but conveyed the Negro child, as was the custom, when slavery was in existence here in Tuscaloosa, as follows: "Tuscaloosa, Ala., June 29, A. D. 1845. Received of John A. Brown $275. payment in full for a Negro girl named Sarah Ann, 6 years and about 4 months old, which I warrant to be sound in mind and body and a slave for life. Richard T. Brumby." A struggle to which the sporting element will look forward with interest will be that between the high cost of living and the summer furs. Everybody is to have an equal chance to buy ships built by the United States, but that doesn't seem to disturb the automobile salesmen.

The habit of being a quitter before the battle begins is fatal to all distinctiveness. It is the death blow to the development of originality and strength of character; and without these no man can be a leader.—Marden. "Tis said that, 'misery likes company,' and perhaps that accounts for the supreme satisfaction with which we read the recent tilts between the editor of the Arizona Republican and some of his readers. We were of the opinion that it was possible for an experienced journalist to word his editorials in such a manner as to never offend. Since the recent developments, it is plain to us now that such a thing is impossible. Our little tilts with our readers have never reached the serious stage that the editor of the Republican has allowed his to reach. He has the churches lined up against him. They are the strongest organizations on the face of the earth and if they persist in denouncing a person or thing, the same inevitably must die. If Mr. Spear knows what is good for him and his paper he will seek to adjust matters before the thing gets serious. We will fight rings, cliques, corrupt gangs and the like, but the churches, never. You fight a losing fight whenever you do, and not only that, but everybody will know that you have been in a fight ere you emerge from the fray. Our sympathy goes out to the man who thinks he is big and powerful enough to fight the churches and win. If there is one thing more than any other that we need in Phoenix it is a Y. M. C. A. We have a splendid crop of young men and boys in this community and if we are to give them the proper Christian training, a "Y" must be established. The boys of today are the men of tomorrow, and if we permit the boys to grow up carelessly we cannot hope to see them develop into good, useful and upright men. It is up to us to see to it that our boys are brought up amidst good, wholesome environments. Unless we prepare a good place for the boy he will seek and find a bad one, so I will say with all the force and emphasis I can command: "Phoenix will and must have a Colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A." Let's work together until we get it. The Colored people of this section of the country have been stricken with a severe case of Land Fever and it is breaking out all over them. This is as it should be. Never before in the history of Phoenix have so many of our group been interested in buying homes. A recent investigation shows that eighty-five per cent of the Colored people of Phoenix own their homes or have contracted to buy them. Ninety per cent of those who are renting their homes are renting from Colored landlords. This, we think, is a splendid showing for a city like Phoenix with a Colored population of a little more than 2,500 souls. No city in the United States, regardless of population, can make a better showing. It is not often that we praise our people so highly, but in this particular case we think they are deserving of a little commendation. What we would like to see is a group of our men put some of their means together and buy a business block. It is all right to own your home, but then you want to own a business, too. Let's pattern after the Hebrews. They are the best business men in the world. Only a few days more till the primaries, when we shall have an opportunity to choose the men whom we wish to support in the general election. We would like to see a large vote polled on that day, as it will show that the people are interested in selecting good, clean men to manage the affairs of state. There are some candidates who should be silenced in the primaries, but unless sufficient votes are cast for their opponents, they may have to be reckoned with in the general election. They should be nipped in the bud and not allowed to go that far. It is up to you, Mr. Voter, to see to it that the undesirable candidate gets no further than the primary. Several of our good citizens have suggested that a "clean up" of all undesirables be made and Phoenix placed in the list of clean cities. The suggestion is opportune, but we should like to see the man or set of men who would have the temerity to pose as Apostles of Purity and take upon themselves the responsibility of such a task. In the language of the lowly Nazerene, we say: "Let him that is without sin, cast the first stone."

PAGE THREE WE PAY $25.00 FOR $10.00 This is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme, but a bona fide, straight-forward business proposition. We represent the Commonwealth Casualty Company of Philadelphia, a million dollar corporation authorized to write sickness and accident insurance in Arizona. The policy costs $10 a year and in case of sickness or accident, we pay the insured $25 per week for a period of ten weeks, or should you be accidentally killed we will pay your beneficiary the sum of $5,000 and return all premium money paid in by you. In the past eighteen months, we have written over $300,000 worth of insurance in Arizona and not one dissatisfied customer is on our list. We have paid out hundreds of dollars in sick claims right here in Phoenix and stand ready to pay any legitimate claim that is presented against our Company. One thing about our Company that makes it so popular with policy holders is the fact that all "red tape" is eliminated and whenever a claim is presented it is always paid promptly. In addition to the $25 weekly sickness and accident benefits paid holders of our $10 policies, we pay $25 weekly hospital benefits, $150 for operation in case one is necessary, and $200 emergency relief. Our policies are the most liberal ever issued by any company, without assessments or dues, and sold to men and women of all nationalities, in all occupations, between the ages of 16 and 70 at the same low cost of $10 a year. The $10 policy is not the only one issued by this Company. We have a $16 policy and a $24 policy that pay larger benefits. This Company is twenty-seven years old and has total resources of more than $3,000,000. Don't take our word for it, write the Arizona Corporation Commission and have them verify our statement.

Mr. Kinch carried a sickness and accident policy that cost him $10 per year, and we guaranteed to pay him $25 per week for loss of time caused by sickness or accident. He was confined to bed seven days and received a check for $25 in payment of his claim.
