Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 1.—The Japanese situation continues to be a matter of considerable concern to the United States. California, with her recurrent efforts to pass laws designed to exclude the yellow races, keeps the question agitated. The attention of our group is being attracted particularly at this time because of the frank admissions being made by men prominent in public life, that it is a question purely of race and therefore of prejudice and justifying it upon those grounds. Governor Cox, while currying favor in California, bursts forth with this ebulition: "God Almighty provided that the fathers of America should be white men. Those from other shores who do not subscribe to that doctrine have the privilege of going back where they came from." Senator Harding, with suave diplomatic mien, says quietly, that which promises much more ill to the yellow man. He says, "We favor such modifications of our immigration laws and such changes in our international understandings and such a policy as regards those who come among us as will guarantee the citizens of this republic assimilability of alien born." All of which the thoughtful members of the race are turning over carefully in their minds. We have been disfranchised and discriminated against but it has been done indirectly by states. From a national viewpoint we have been presumably full-fledged American citizens. If the Japanese came in large numbers and found themselves up against the same white man's prejudice, they could not be lynched and maltreated because the government and navy of Japan would be standing behind them. Therefore they had better be kept out. The Chicago Journal says: "The Japanese are not an inferior race. They are a great race. The Chinese are a great race, too. When the ancestors of most Americans were engaged in the task of herding hogs, the Chinese were counting the stars, creating beautiful works of art, and discussing what life meant. General Grant said that the greatest men he had ever met were Disraeli, the English statesman, Gambetta, the French statesman, Bismarck, the German statesman, and Li Hung Chang, the Chinese statesman, and that he believed that Li Hung Chang was the greatest of the four. But the average white man in America is not likely to believe that any Chinese or Japanese gentleman is as great as the most inferior American whose skin is white. This prejudice against color—for it is nothing but prejudice—must be accepted. It is annoying, it is unjust, but it is useless to fight against a fact. Some outlet for overpopulated Japan must be found, but so long as American white men are prejudiced against all blood that is not white, it would be foolish to let down the bars so that they may come here. But if some outlet is not soon provided—well, to speak mildly, there will be friction between Tokyo and Washington." Will the United States frankly and squarely admit that the constitution is a dead letter, that the theory that all men were created equal, an idle dream, and give race prejudice national endorsement? If it be true, then the outlook for the darker Americans, is indeed dark. TUSKEGEE NORMAL OPENS FORTIETH SESSION (By Associated Negro Press.) Tuskegee Institute, Oct. 1.—September 14 marked the beginning of the fortieth session of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The registrar of the institute and his coworkers were busy five days before school opened registering new students. Each day furnished its quota of new arrivals and the records on the first day of the school year showed that some 1900 students had been enrolled. This is the largest opening day enrollment in the history of the institute. Notwithstanding this fact, the stream of incoming students is yet steady. Every iota of space will soon be taken up. It is also noticeable that many of the new students are qualifying for the advanced classes. Southern Blacks Are Dissatisfied With Conditions (By Associated Negro Press.) Baltimore, Md., Oct. 1—Mr. W. T. Andrews, editor of the "Baltimore Herald," Baltimore, Maryland, takes the following position: "It is time for white men of the South to check up on their silly talk and pretended belief that Negroes of the South are satisfied with their treatment and are contented and if left alone by outsiders the two races would get along splendidly and there would never be any trouble, etc., etc., et nauseam. "All such twaddle is not only silly but a lie. We do not believe there is in the entire South a single county containing a large number of Negroes in which they are contented. Impossible in the very nature of things. No people can be contented who are lynched, burned alive at the stake, whose women are brutalized, who are deprived of every right and privilege which unjust laws can be devised to despoil them of." The sentiment expressed by Mr. Andrews is the sentiment of thoughtful Colored men throughout the country. Negro Journals Are Not Receiving Share of Advertising From Republicans Washington, D. C., Oct. 1.—Some of the newspapers are not "doing so well" in the effort to connect with the advertising check book of the republican national committee. "In the beginning," Col. Phil. H. Brown, hero of several political battles, was supposed to be the very first and only dispenser of publicity favors. However, the eastern contingent "kicked up a fuss," and it became necessary to have a special "Eastern Division," which in turn received their portion of the budget. Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age, it is stated, resigned from the committee, when George W. Harris and he could not agree on terms for their individual newspapers. Now it seems that a policy of eliminating all southern newspapers from the advertising patronage has been adopted, and only certain newspapers in the north and east have been put on the quadrennial business. This condition is causing a big protest from certain papers such as the Houston Informer, in Texas, and the Buffalo Journal, in New York state. It is currently reported that less than $25,000 has been appropriated to handle the publicity among all the Negro newspapers throughout the country. Foreign language newspapers have been getting consideration from the committee for several months and the appropriation for them is several times in excess of Nero publications. "The national committee seems to underestimate the value of our newspapers. Even the southern newspapers could get consideration, not only for their loyalty, but because thousands of their readers now live in voting northern states," said a prominent leader here. PRESCOTT (By Mrs. Dora Rose) Mrs. Annie Burkhardt left last week for Los Angeles, Cal., where she will make her permanent home. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. E. Hines left last week in their touring car for Los Angeles, where they will attend the meeting of the Industrial and Commercial Council of People of African Descent which is now in session. Rev. and Mrs. S. E. Newell left Sunday for Tucson and southern Arizona, where they will spend their vacation. Rev. Newell also has some work to do in that section in connection with the Baptist State Sunday School Convention, of which he is president. Mrs. F. H. Alexander left Wednesday to spend the week-end at the Grand Canyon with friends. Rev. Boatner, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, is in California attending the Annual Conference. Mr. Harry Dean, an explorer, is in the city and gave a very interesting lecture on Literia Monday night. He is a speaker of note and all were glad of the opportunity to hear him. He will lecture Wednesday evening at the Methodist church (white) and will leave Thursday for Phoenix, where he will spend a few days before going to San Diego, Cal. ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1920 RAGE RIOT CAN'T OCCUR AGAIN IN CHICAGO, SAYS CHIEF (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Oct. 1.—"This was not a 'riot' but a street fight. There can never be another riot in Chicago as long as I am chief of police." With these mighty words, Chief of Police Garrity set at rest the wide-spread report that another riot was on in Chicago recently. A white man, Thomas E. Barrett, a conductor on the street car lines, was killed, and a great gang of Halsted street hoodlums pursued three men who were accused, but there was no riot. The men are Samuel Hayes, Harry Snow and Frank Gatewood. It is stated on the best of authority that Barret had been arrested several times for assaulting Colored people. Policeman Michael Hurley, white, testified that Barrett abused the men, and one of them drew a knife and almost severed his head, in self-defense. The priest of St. Gabriel's Catholic church outwitted the throng who sought the men, by hiding them in his church, and then appearing on the steps of the church and smiling them into quietness, saying: "The men are safe, let the law take its course." The police officers got the leaders of the mob, and arrested every person who sought to make trouble. The daily newspapers were particularly fair in giving accounts of the trouble. Not the least of these was the Chicago Tribune, which the Colored people frequently accused of being biased. The Chicago American, in its account, did not refer at any time to the race of any of the persons involved. This advance in the treatment of crime in the dailies is attributed to the activity of various Chicago organizations of our group in impressing the editors and publishers that racial designation of criminals is harmful to all, that a criminal is a criminal, no more no less, regardless of race or nationality. WILL PRESIDENT WILSON REVERSE DECISION? Washington, D. C., Oct. 1.—Josephine Berry, under sentence of death for the murder of Ada King, who was murdered for alleged interference with her love affair, 'expects a life sentence.' In his report on the girl to the board of charities, Superintendent Charles C. Foster, criminologist, of the district penal institutions, says: "Josephine Berry's case presents an unusual phase. She is seemingly a representative of that type classed by Dr. Lombrobe as being midway between the lunatic and the savage. Josephine, awaiting definite action as to execution, behold the arrival of her sister, Edna Giles, to be tried for manslaughter and heard from her the statement: "The old man (meaning the father) is in jail, too, for manslaughter." "Rarely, in America, is the woman given the extreme penalty. Always the jury acquits or the final outcome is modification of the decree of crime." Effort is being made to have the girl's sentence commuted, but this is very much doubted, as President Wilson is not known to reverse his decision after passing on a death sentence. Attorney Harry L. Tignor is counsel for the condemned. (By Associated Negro Press) (By Associated Negro Press.) Opelika, Ala., Oct. 1.—Bishop B. F. Lee, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who presides over the Ninth district, passed through Opelika from Girard and Phenix City, where he had been to look after interests of the East Alabama Conference, which will be held at Girard on the week beginning before the first Sunday in December. The bishop is making quite a tour through the state in interest of the school at Selma. That denomination has an educational drive on to be finished sometime in October at Birmingham, and the bishop is doing what no other bishop has done in the way of going through the state soliciting aid. ALURIBUS UNUM VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Dear Sir:—In your issue of September 25, 1920, there appeared on the editorial page an article concerning the support of the colored people to the G. O. P. In connection with the above-mentioned article, permit me to ask a few questions for information: Is it true that the characters of men are determined by the principles they have represented, and not what they represent now as candidates? If so, what stand did Mr. Harding take, or what stand have any of the present Republican or Democratic candidates ever taken in regard to the bills introduced in Congress by Mr. Madder of Illinois that affect the Negro? Are not both parties controlled by Wall Street? If so, to what extent is Wall Street interested in the Negro? Regardless of their own ideas, aren't they forced to act in co-operation with those that control them? Haven't we for the last 40 or 50 years demonstrated to the G. O. P. our loyalty? And, may I ask, with what result? Possibly, you may say for a job for a few men. Then, may I add: "He who pays the fiddler will call the tunes?" Then what consideration do we non-job hunters get? Although soldiers, we are deeply interested in the political situation, and are willing to make any sacrifice necessary that your most valuable paper may keep our cause rightly before the eyes of the world, and that our people may not be misinformed. Trusting this will receive your kind attention, I am, Yours for success, ANDREW J. SMITH. Machine Gun Troop, Tenth Cav. CHANDLER (By Jack Gray) Mrs. Temple Fuller has returned from Prescott and will spend a few weeks here before leaving for Los Angeles, where she will reside with her grandmother. Mrs. Jack Gray has returned from the coast after spending a month in Los Angeles visiting her mother. Mrs. Sallie Porter of Kansas City, an old friend of Mrs. Gray's, arrived in Chandler last week and will spend the winter in the valley. Mrs. Mary Wesson of Los Angeles is visiting Mrs. Jack Gray. She will spend several months in the Valley. Mr. Walter McConnell is on the sick list this week, but his brother is still on the job. Cotton picking is on in full bloom, but pickers are scarce. Mr. Tom McConnell of New York, champion whist player of the Chandler district, is looking for whist players. If there are any in Phoenix, he will be pleased to meet them. LAST MONTH OF CAMPAIGN; (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Oct. 1.—The last month of the national campaign is on. There are several outstanding events for the month of September. Organization among Colored voters was perfected. It is an open secret that republican leaders are counting greatly on the votes of Colored citizens in Illinois. Missouri. Indiana, Kentucky. New York. Connecticut. Maryland. West Virginia. Ohio. Oklahoma, and two or three other states. Democrats are alarmed at this condition, and are making charges of "importation" and other scare-head remarks. JACK JOHNSON IS NOW Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 30.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, arrived at the federal penitentiary a few days ago to begin serving a sentence for a year and a day for violation of the Mann Act. His train was met at the station by about 500 persons. A Negro chauffeur offered the use of his car to take the party, which included two deputy United States marshals and three friends of the fighter, to the prison. Johnson climbed into the car, took the wheel and drove to the penitentiary grounds. At the prison he was assigned number 15,461. When he reached Leavenworth, the warden announced that he would at once make the ex-champion an orderly of the prison baseball park. His duties are to keep the athletic grounds in good condition. Later on, stated the warden, he will be made director of athletics. TRIBUNE ARIZONA AT LAST TO BE SHOWN IN MOVING PICTURES The Arizona Film Corporation is a local concern, backed by prominent business and professional men of this city and organized for the purpose of constructing a moving picture studio in Arizona for the making and developing of western and Alaskan film reproductions. They will give employment to hundreds of people in this state, and it is the opinion of the incorporators that they have a sound business enterprise that appeals to the civic pride of the citizens of this great commonwealth, because of the possible benefits to be derived from this industry, also offering a substantial association in a business organized along sound, responsible, conservative lines, with every indication of interesting profits and a steady income. The officers and directors of the company are men of integrity and are too well and favorably known to the people of this state to require an introduction. J. B. Bayless, the president of the Arizona Film Corporation, is the proprietor and owner of the Bayless Grocery company, and is one of the most successful business men in the state. Guy Chisum, vice-president of the corporation, is the manager and active head of McKean's Dye Works, and all Arizona can vouch for his integrity. C. W. Hill, the secretary, is an expert accountant well known throughout the entire Southwest. Capt. A. C. Taylor, the treasurer, is president of the A. C. Taylor Printing company and is one of the best known and most successful young business men of the city. Dr. Norman H. Morrison, chairman of the board of directors, is one of the leading dentists of Phoenix and enjoys the distinction of having a larger clientele than any two of his competitors. A. George Daws, director of publicity, is among the foremost advertising men of the country and acknowledged an expert in this line. George M. West, location expert, is a man who has covered practically every foot of roadway and desert and mountain trail in the state of Arizona and is well qualified for the position of official locator Nothing that Arizona has had in years offers better opportunity for investment than the Arizona Film Corporation, and the citizens of this state are placed in an enviable position by being given the great privilege of becoming stockholders in this concern. Their offices are located at 121 East Jefferson street. They have purchased the ten-acre tract at the southwest intersection of Van Buren street and the Asylum road, where the studio grounds will be located. FOR $38.75 IN ST. LOUIS St. Louis, Sept. 30.—Commodities of all kinds, necessities and luxuries, are being advertised and sold in St. Louis at greatly reduced prices over those of a few weeks ago. Clothing, shoes, produce, groceries, meats, furniture, tires and candy are being advertised at the reduced prices. Special sales are being arranged and the trend is toward lower prices. Clothing has been reduced still further. Men's $55 suits are selling at $38 75 and boys' suits from $12 95 to $8 95. Women's wear, dresses, shoes, suits and hats have all been reduced in price. In the produce market the abundance of the supply, together with the general lowering of prices on other articles, has brought the wholesale prices of fruits and vegetables down about half. Potatoes, which sold from $3.25 a hundred pounds to $13 last year, are being sold for $2. Tomatoes, with prices of 50, 75 cents and $1 a bushel last year are being sold at wholesale for 10 and 25 cents. In the fruits, prices are just about half of the prices a year ago. GREAT REVIVAL AT AVERY Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 30.—Historic Avery chapel, Memphis, Tenn., is in the beginning of a great revival campaign conducted by Dr. H. Franklin Bray, the Rocky Mountain evangelist. The opening week was marked by the conversion of twenty-two men and women and the collection of more than seventeen hundred dollars. Bishop Isaac N. Ross of Washington, D. C., stopped over on Sunday morning on route to Arkansas, his district, and Defender of Flag Has Recovered From His Wounds (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Oct. 1.—Patrolman Joseph Owens, the officer who was wounded three times defending the American flag during the recent "Abyssinian" disturbance here, has been able to leave the hospital. He made his first trip through the south side business district, in citizen's clothes, recently, and was everywhere hailed as a real hero. To the Associated Negro Press he made hte following statement: "All along I have been given wonderful consideration by everyone and I am deeply appreciative. I only did my duty as any real American citizen would do. When I was taken to the hospital everyone thought I would die, having three bullets in me. Two of the bullets have been removed, one still remains. "The doctors attribute saving my life to the fact that never drank a drop of liquor nor smoked." Patrolman Owens is a fine specimen of dignified manhood, and is a native of Mississippi, but has lived in Chicago for a number of years. (By Associated Negro Press.) Tuskegee, Ala., Oct. 1.—The $25,000 contributed by the Colored people all over the country following the death of, the late Booker T. Washington, was raised under the general direction of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, then serving as secretary of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The bronze figure of the late leader of the Colored people is being made by Charles Keck, a student of St. Gaudens, who fashioned the Shaw Monument facing the state house in Boston, Massachusetts, and the famous Lincoln Statute in Lincoln Park, Chicago, Ill., Dr. Scott's campaign to raise this money to commemorate his great chieftain reached into every section of the country. It will be recalled that a certificate was issued to each and every person who contributed toward the fund. RAY (By Chester Maryland) Mr. and Mrs. John Brown of Phoenix are Ray visitors this week. They motored here from Tucson, where they have been the past few days. Mr. Brown is a piano tuner of great renown, having had more than twenty years' experience in the business, and with his wife has been touring southern Arizona in their big seven-passenger Elcar. While in Ray they are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Mose Davis. They will leave the latter part of the week for their home in Phoenix. Misses Emily and Elizabeth Crump of Phoenix arrived in Ray last week and are assisting their father in his business. Mr. Crump is a produce merchant and has a wonderfully successful business. Mrs. J. J. McDonald entertained a few of her friends this week with a card party. All report a delightful time. Miss Hazel Reed and her friend, Miss C.

Perry and Miss McDonald of Hardon motored to Ray Sunday and spent the day with friends. Mr. Crump took a party of his friends on a motor trip into the mountains this week. They made a big camp-fire, and all sat around the fire and devoured their basket lunch which was taken on the trip. The time was spent in pleasant conversation, singing and telling funny stories. It made a fellow think of the good old days of yore. Little Chester Maryland has been on the sick list the past week but is improving.

Chicago, Oct. 1.—Strong indications point to the fact that the first great national bank of country-wide importance will probably be established in Chicago. A number of eminent financiers of the South, some of the bankers, whose investments run into the millions, have recently been in conference with Chicago capitalists, with the object in view of establishing a national bank here with a paid in capital of $1,000,000. It is argued that a number of the Nargo banks in the South are required to keep on deposit in New York and Chicago, thousands of dollars in order to meet their clearing in these cities, and if the race had a national bank, a member of the federal system, this money could be kept there. Moreover, several hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of business is transacted annually by southern buyers, through northern banks, where not a single Negro clerk is employed, and all this business would be turned over to the great national "family bank" GLOBE-MIAMI (By Miss Modesta Young) The box social given last Tuesday evening at the A. M. E. church by members of the Eastern Star proved entirely successful. All had a delightful time and went away wishing the Stars would hold box socials more often. Mrs. Bryant has been suffering with a slight indisposition. The colored people of Miami have organized a literary society and they meet every Friday night to discuss interesting topics. The people of Globe should attend the meetings of this society, for the Miami people always attend everything we have in Globe. Let's reciprocate and help make it a success. The school children of Globe are rejoicing over a new Victrola which has been given them by the superintendent. Last Sunday night a splendid program was rendered at the Baptist church and all enjoyed it immensely. A brother of Mrs. W. E. Coleman is a new arrival in the city.

A Nc Ne em Wine IN THEE Qa eat eS, § Elsewhere in this issue we publish a communication from one of our readers who wants to know why we urge Colored voters to support the Republican ticket. He laments the fact that both the Republican and Demo- cratic candidates in this election, have not heretofore taken an open stand in support of certain bills introduced in congress by Mr. Madden of Mlinois, and he further charges that both parties are controlled by Wall Street and that the Negro could not hope to receive any favors from such a source. Ne doubt, the gentleman believes that the Labor party or the Socialist party would be a better one to support than either the Democratic or Re- publican party, but inasmuch as neither of the first named has any chance ‘or hope of coming into power, our duty is to elect either a Democratic ad- Ministration or a Republican administration. Since this is true, we ask, what are the records of these two parties as regards the Negro? If any one ‘familiar with the history of this country will make a comparison of the . records of the two parties from 1865 to 1920, we feel that the Republican party will not suffer by such comparison. The Tribune is affiliated with that group of race journals that is not at all satisfied with the attitude of the Republican party towards Colored Americans, but it is a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. We do not expect the Republicans to take us up in their arms and ay all sorts of nice things to us and grant our -every wish, even though they succeed in winning the election. But we do expect, and the record of the present administration and all previous Demo- cratic administrations, gives us a right to expect more favorable considera- _tion from Republicans than we could ever hope to receive from Democrats. If you don't believe a Republican administration is better for the Negro than a Democratic administration, you should have .a little talk with one or two of the thousands and thousands of black men and women who in the past few years have been forced to leave the southland and seek a healthier clime. In the solid south, the Wilsonian form of government reigns supreme and it is that disgrace of democracy that has caused your brother and my broth = to flee from the southland. During the seven and a half years that Wo.c:ow Wiison has sat on the throne in Washington, more Negroes have been compelled to leave their homes in the southland than ever before in. the history of this country, Don’t you want conditions restored to normal, so that those of our race who care to remain in the southland may be per- mitted to do so? We believe you do. In the present campaign, our duty is clear. There is only one thing for us to do and that is vote for a Republican administration to be placed in power at Washington, This is the duty of the hour. None will deny it. Senator Warren G. Harding and Governor Calvin Coolidge, the Republican candidates for president and vice-president, have come out boldly and taken a stand against lynching and other injustices to which the Negro has been subjected. The Democratic candidates, Cox and Roosevelt, have been pain- fully silent on the subject of lynching and all matters that affect the black ‘man. Byery time a group of our leaders, thinkers and captains of finance get together, it is agreed, “by common consent,” after prolonged discussion, that a daily newspaper would be a tremendous asset to the race. ‘The argument stops, however, when the subject of operation is approached. The tomb- stones of past efforts are pointed to with skeptical dismay, and with shaking heads, lowered eyes and crocodile tears, the subject is dropped. As a matter of fact, the situation resolves itself to one thing only, a Jack of capacity to unite on a great thing worth while. W. T. Andrews of Baltimore, Md, established the daily Baltimore Herald, which he ran for two solid years and more, on time, in the face of all kinds of odds and discour- agements. Recently, however, he has been compelled, on account of the shortage of white print paper, and possibly other unseen difficulties, to cut the publication down to twice a week. But listen to the encouragement he receives from one of the most not- able publicists of the race, W. E. B. DuBois. Ina recent number of ‘The Crisis, Dr. DuBois said that he had not commented on the existence of the Herald before it was two years old, because he had no idea it would live when established, but since it had lived to be two years old, it was worthy of comment! Ye gods! What reasoning from a philosopher. Here is argument just as reasonable: A new baby is born into the world. The mother is deserted by her friends, but by sacrifice and perse- Yerance, she is able to nurse the child from infanthood to beautiful baby- hood. Then her friends return and say: “O, if we had known your baby Was going to live and become so beautiful, we would have come to your as- sistance from the first.” With a man of Mr. Andrews’ known standing as a publisher, Mr. DuBois could have safely given a big boost to the Baltimore Dajly Herald through the Crisis and by word of mouth, from the beginning, and been the gainer rather than the loser. ; Establishing a daily has been discussed again and again with publishers ‘of such newspapers as the Chicago Defender, the New Xork Age and the Afro-American Baltimore, which are issued weekly, and have large circula- tions. But there have alwayé been deaf ears turned. Some one is going to start a “sure enough daily” some of these days, Before long, and everybody is going to be surprised, if they don't watch out. Marcus Gurvey, the wizard of organized freuzy among the masses, and a very keen student of the value of publicity, is beginning to discuss at great Jength in his “Negro World,” the necessity for a daily newspaper. Garvey | has the nerve to tackle the job, and in some way, he seems to be able to get the “filthy lucre” to put his ideas across. 3 Are the people reading? ‘Tens and tens of thousands of them, every- PAGE TWO Fancy the world as a hill, ‘Then look where the millions stop; ‘There's always a crowd at the bottom, Push on, there's plenty of room at the top. pains UP > ae ae WHY SUPPORT REPUBLICANS?

If the man was dead why should Beaton remain at Haskell and insist’ on Miss La Rne’s Joining him? And if the man was alive and concealed somewhere in the neighborhood, what was their present object? Had they decided they were Tisking too much in permitting him to live? Had something occurred to make them feel it safer to nave him out of the way permanently? What connection afd Bill Lacy have with the gang? Westcott rose to his feet and began following the trail up the canon. He was not serving Cavendish nor Miss Donovan by sitting there. He walked rapidly, but the sun was nearly down by the time he reached the mouth of his own drift. While waiting word from the East which would enable him to develop the claim, Westcott had thought it best to discontinue work, and hide, as best he could, from others the fact that he had tigain discovered the lost lead of rich ore. ‘To that end, after taking out enough for his immediate require- ments in the form of nuggets gath- ered from a single pocket, which he had later negotiated quietly at a town down the rallroad, he had blocked up the new tunnel and discontinued opera- tions, He had fondly believed his se- cret secure, until Lacy’s careless words had aroused suspicion that the latter might have seen his telegrams to Cay- endish. His only assistant, a Mexican, whe had been with him for some time, remained on guard at the bunkhouse and, so far as he knew, no serious ef- fort had been made to explore the drift by any of Lacy’s satellites.

You | seem nervous.” “No, senor. 1 expected you not to- ‘night; there was a man there by the big tree at sunset.” |_ “One of the La Rosita gang likely. | Donit fight them, Jose. Let them poke ‘around inside if they want to; they Won't find anything but rock, Got a bite there for me?” “Si, senor, aplenty.” “All right, then; I'm huhfgry and havea ble of work aiead. ‘Pur it o7 the table here and sit down yourself, Tose.” The Mexican did as ordered, glacing across at the other between each mouthful of food, as though not exact- ly at ease. Westcott ate heartily, without pausing to talk. “You hear yet Senor Cavendish?” Jose asked at last. “No.” Westeott hesitated an in- stant, but decided not to explain fur- ther. “He must be away, I think.” | “What you do if you no hear at all?” | “We'll go on with the digging our- selves, Jose. Itll pay wages until I can interest capital somewhere to | come in on shares.” Westcott stared into the fireplace; ‘then the gravity of his face relaxed ie a smile. “Things are growing interesting, Jose,” he said cheerfully. “If I only ee Just which way the cat was sbont to jump I'd be somewhat hap- pier. There seemed to be more light than usual across the gulch us I came ‘up—what’s going on?” “They have put on more men, senor —a night shift. Last night I went in our drift cteur to the end, and put my ear to the rock. It was far away, but T hear.” _#No, no, Jose; that's impossible. ‘Why, their tunnel is over a hundred Se WH Tey) aT | x <1 Wl wie i Uf N ZN ‘The Bullet Whizzed Past Westcott’s | Head. yards away; not even the sound of dynamite would penetrate that dis- tanee through solid rock. You heard your heart beat.” “No, senor,’ and Jose was upon his feet gesticulnting, “it was’ the plek— strike, strike, strike; then stop an’ begin, strike, strike, strike again, 1 hear, 1 know.” “hen they must. be rinning a lateral, hoping to cut across our yein somewhere within ther lines.” “And will that give thom: the right i ; ¥ “On foot?” “H—, no! I ain’t no such wallzer ‘as all that. Come over yere; keep yer head down; now look out between these two rocks. Do yer see them cow-pontes hitched ter the rack slong- side o' the Red Dog? Well, they've been thar fer a midtter o' three hours, 1 reckon, an’ their riders ain't lable ter leave as long as thar’s any ex- citement in town. ‘They're XL men, and mostly drunk by this time. It's my aim ter get a leg over one o’ them animals. Here's my scheme, an’ I reckon it'll work. Naturally Lacy will think we'll try to get away—make a brenk fer it in the dark, He'll have both them banks guarded, an’ ther fel- fers will have orders ter shoot. » He'd rather have us dead than alive. But, to my notion, he won't expect us ter try ‘any getaway before midnight. Anyhow, that’s how I'd figure if I was in his place. But my idea 1s to pull one off on him, an’ start the minute it gets dark enough so them lads can’t ‘see what's goin’ on out yere.” “We'll fight our way through?” “Not a fight, my son; we'll make it so softly that not a son-of-a-gun will ever know how {t happened. When they wake up we'll be twenty miles out in the desert, an’ still a goin’. Thar’s a big Jog clinging ter the upper end 0° th’ rock. I saw it when I fust come over; an’ "bout an hour ago I crept back through that gully an’ took a ood look. A shove will send it floatin’, An’ with a good pair o' legs to steer with, thar ain't nuthin’ to stop It this side the curve, an’ I don’t calculate any o’ the rifle brigade will be down'as fur as that. It sounds blame good ter me, Jim; what d’ye say?” * Westcott’s hand went out, and the fingers of the two men clasped silent- ly. There was no need for more speech ; they understood each other. The night closed down swiftly, as it does in the West, the purple of the hills becoming black as though by some magic. ‘There was a heavy cloud hanging in the Western sky, con- stantly sweeping higher in pledge of a dark night. ‘The banks of the stream became obscured, and finally vanished altogether; while the water ceased to glimmer and turned to an inky black- ness, Lights twinkled in the distant shacks, and the front of the Red Dog burst into fllumination, Brennan chuckled, and pointed his finger at the glare, “Lacy ain't fergettin’ the profit in ‘all this,” he whispered hoarsely. “The boys are goin’ ter be dry, an’ he'll sell ‘em all they want—wouldn't mind if T had some myself. Is it dark enough, mate?” | “The sooner the better!” | “That's my tieket. Come on then, ‘but don’t make a sound; them lads are ‘more liable to hear than they are to ‘see us. Let me go first.” ‘The log was at the other end of the little island, but there was a consider. able rift In the rock surface, not deep, but of sufficient width to permit the Passage of a body. The jazged stone made the way rough in the dark, and Westcott, found himself at the upper extremity, gashed and bruised by the contact. Brennan lowered himself into the water, assisted in the downward climb by some low, tough bushes whose ten- arils clung tenaciously to the smooth rock, Westcott followed silently, and found footing in about three fect of water, where it swirled around the base of the island, Brennan put his lps close to his companton's ear, “Got yer cartridges tied up? ‘That's all right; hand ‘em over. You hang ‘on to the outside, an’ I'l push off.

Lott's Ispham carried off the honor of being the winner of the first Vancouver Derby, Saturday afternoon, after a race which was as exciting as jany race yet seen at Brighouse Park. Arthur Martin, who rode Mr. Lott’s filly, made a splendid race. The track was very heavy from the recent rains, so that the times made in the various events were somewhat slow. Getting )away to an excellent start, Ispham set the pace throughout. At the first turn, Benmore II took a wide turn and knocked Dinna Fash and Lone Pine out of their strides and allowed Ispham to take a bigger lead. Half ‘way round the stretch York Lassie ‘made a great effort to overcome the leader, and on the turn it looked as ‘it Smith would snatch a victory, but Marin Proved master in jockeyship and kept his mount well in hand, win- ning a fine race Ly about a length, with York Lassie well to the front of Benmore, which was third. When Miss McLean attempted to decorate the winner, Ispham showed a distinet dislike to fuss and had to be blind- folded before the laurel wreath could be placed around its neck, Then Jockey Martin was handed the bag containing $500, the stake, which had ‘been suspended across the track, and @ beautiful silver cup. To Mrs, Lott fell the honor of receiving the cup for the owner.” | Mr. Lott is well known in Phoenix, having spent some time in the city last year, and his many friends here will be pleased to learn of his good fortune, Phoenix Protective League A regular meeting of the Phoenix Protective League will be held Mon- day night, Oct. 4, at Douglas school.

But today toilet preparations are ‘among the most rapid selling articles upon the market and women have ae to look upon them as neces- sities more than as luxuries and to regard their use as an aid to preserv- ing thelr God-given beauty rather as confessions of any super-vanity. "With the increasing demand for {toilet preparations have come many unscrupulous manufacturers who have entered the field purposely to play ‘upon what they believe to be human weakness and feminine vanity and have placed upon the market prepara: tions that have but little merit and do far less than is superlatively claimed by their advertisements, In fact, very serious cases of skin erup- ‘tion, enlarged and distorted pores, dis colored pigment, and even blood-pois oning, have been known to result from ‘the use of some of these worthless preparations Often it has been too late to stop the onrush of disease af- ‘ter having used this class of prepara: tion, _ The skin and sealp are among the ‘most important parts of the body and Se be treated witty diligent care Unfortunately, they are about the most neglected parts. It is only by constant care that one may hope te have a beautiful complexion, and only ‘by selecting preparations of merit ‘that one may hope to preserve that which nature has given ds. In select ing preparations for the care and treatment of the skin and scalp, the utmost precaution should be taken jana only such preparations selected as will bear chemical analysis and have a reputation for quality and ef. fectiveness. 3 For fifteen years Madam C. J Walker’s Superfine Preparations for the hair and skin have stood the most thorough examinations and enjoyed 1 reputation for high quality and effect iveness and these preparations can be ‘safely recommended by men and wom. en all over America and in 26 foreigr countries as ranking high among the very best on the market, They are guarapteed by their manufacturers t produce no detrimental resuits and i used as directed will do all that is i claimed. It is recommended that you THE NEGRO IN THE FAR WEST; WHAT HE 1S DOING T have just completed a ten-thou- sand-mile lecture . tour, passing through the Middle West, the Inter- | Mountain Region, the Pacific Slope ‘and the Southwest. My engagements covered fifty cities along the line ot i itinerary. | I want, first, to express my thanks ‘to the people everywhere who re- ceived with interest and enthusiasm the “message of facial progress and promise, This tour was projected on my per sonal responsibility without the back: ing of any financial foundation or en: dowed propaganda, : I had no new nostrum or infallible solution to offer, but simply presented principles of universal value which carry their own temporal and eternal reward, The people have been so often misled by infallible remedies that theyshave become somewhat sus. Picious of dogmatic pronouncements. Politics, a certain type of education, the acquisition of wealth, unlicensed radicalism in religion, government and industry have all been urged as solvents with dogmatic assurance and intolerant emfhasis. After testing all of these methods, the race problem will undoubtedly exist in all of its in- tricate perplexities. There is positive yall Sachs superlative virtue in none. All are efficient; none suffi cient. We still await the solution that will solve, In the meantime we rely upon positive virtues and values of neverfailing advantage while feeling after a right solution, if happily we may find it. My itinerary gave rise to many in teresting ol:servations, especially ir the Inter-Mountain and Pacific states The colored people are acquiring homes in unprecedented numbers. In use Madam C. J.

THE HUB CLOTHING CO, Inc. Successors to P. A. Tharaidson some places I have found that home rae was the badge of respect- ability that was almost 100 per cent ‘efficient. In such places as Salt Lake ‘City, Boise, Butte, Helena, end on the Pacific Slope, colored people have ac quired more homes during the past three years than had been accumu- lated during all previous time. There is a rapid diminution of the sporting element which hitherto has been the ‘bane of the race in the Far West. I lattribute this very largely to prohibi- ‘tion and to the incoming of more sober and steady yeomen from the South in quest of pastures new. In Oakland, ‘California, "I was reliably informed ‘that the Negro population of less than five thousand had acquired more than five hundred homes during the past ‘three years, There is also_a notice- able disposition to launch into indi- vidual and associated business enter- rise. ‘The surplus earnings which former]y went to swell the fortunes lot the saloonkeeper and the gaming- house proprietor are now devoted to ihe acquisition of property. A goodly numler are acquiring ranches, and are sharing the golden harvest under the system of irrigation which, asif by magic, makes the wilderness to bloom and blossom as the rose. Colo- inies are being formed to take up irri- igated lands which are meeting with a high degree of sucress, Among these may be mentioned Deerfield, Colo.; Fowler and Allensworth, Cal. ‘The Cotton industry is being intro- lduced in California, Arizona and New Mexico. Mexican labor is at present being utilized in this field. But the Negro ultimately will follow in the wake of this new industry, because of his superior experience and efficiency in cotton culture. In “Nhe Imperial Valley of Cahfornia Negroes are al- ready acquiring fabulouss fortune from the cultivation of the silver fleece. I traversed the Pacific coast from the northern to the southern extrem- ity, a distance of some fifteen hundred miles. On the western side of the Cascades there is a newness of life and vegetation which must be seen in order to be-appreciated. The climate is mild with a vernal balminess throughout the year, During my so- Journ on the Pacific coast a congress: ional committee was investigating the Japanese question, The Negro escapes notice at present because of more ur- gent attention now being given to the Oriental alien. There exists in this frugal and industrious region no Ne- gro race probleny in its frictional as- pect. Two hundred thousand indus- trious Negroes could easily be dis- tributed along the Pacifie Slope with- out raising in any complicated form the troublesome race issue, everyone of whom could find remunerative em- ployment, congenial climate, civic pro- tection and large opportunities to reap the fruit of industry, thrift and fru- gality. In all of the communities visited with a relatively small number of Ne- groes I was painfully impressed with the prevailing social loneliness and fsolation, There is a noticeable ten- (Continued Next Week) ~
