NEGRO FORCED OUT OF GOVT. POSITION BECAUSE INJUSTICE
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. C., Nov. 4.—Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, former officer of the 367th Infantry, 32nd Division, A. E. F., who for over a year has looked after the interests of colored service men in the bureau of war risk insurance, recently tendered his resignation as their special representative because of continual limitations of his official duties by white superiors. In an interview recently, Lieutenant Clifford said:
"Little by little certain officials in the bureau of war risk insurance have attempted to give my section trouble simply because of their hatred for the Negroes. Upon one occasion it was claimed that a personal letter was sent out from my office in a franked envelope without a stamp, although the envelope was never produced. Another time I was ordered to stop signing letters written in my section to colored soldiers and friends, because they wished them to be signed by a white man. This I refused to do and I was given to understand that if I did not do so they would get someone who would carry out their orders. It was only after a two weeks' fight that I was permitted to sign my name to letters originating in my section. Later I was forced to send my dictated letters down to another office where a white high school graduate approved and signed them, signing my own signature to my own letters before they were sent out. This was all done because there was fear that I would persist in helping colored servicemen in matters pertaining to their insurance, death claims, and allotment claims in a way that might embarrass the bureau of war risk insurance.
"Realizing that there was need for a colored man in the bureau of war risk insurance to look after the insurance, compensation and allotment claims of colored soldiers, I succeeded in having myself appointed to the position during the present administration. My official designation has been special representative of the colored soldiers and sailors in the bureau of war risk insurance. By articles in the colored newspapers and magazines and through the enrollment of many volunteer workers, including ministers, doctors, lawyers, insurance agents, social workers, Young Men's Christain associations, Young Women's Christian associations, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, fraternity organizations, Urban League Workers and other community service organizations, I have been able to stimulate interest in government life insurance among colored discharged soldiers to the end that millions of dollars worth of insurance have been saved and added to the economic strength of the Negro race. This work, according to letters over the signature of my superiors has been carried on very efficiently. In fact it has been common talk in the bureau that the colored servicemen's section, for its size, is one of the most efficient units in the entire institution.
"The policy of segregation and discrimination enforced by the present administration is un-American and despicable in the extreme. Merit and

ALABAMA CRACKERS ARMED TO THE TEETH ON LONE MAN HUNT
(By The Associated Negro Press) Union Springs, Ark., Nov. 4.—Bullock county officials, their number augmented by over one hundred "leading citizens," all heavily armed, for four or five days have been conducting a man hunt with John L. Thomas, a wealthy colored real estate dealer of Union Springs, as their objective. Thomas, it seems, has brought down on his head the prejudice of the community because, in addition to being one of the wealthiest Negroes of Bullock county, for the past twelve years he has been dealing in farm lands on an extensive scale, selling them to colored people generally. In fact, he is mostly responsible for bringing up the increase of the number of acres of land owned by colored people in this county. A misleading report was sent out from Union Springs to the effect that Thomas attempted to murder one E. L. Cope, a former mayor of the town. Capture by others than duly constituted officers of the law, it is believed, will be followed by summary execution.
Mr. Thomas enjoyed the confidence and had the encouragement of the late Booker T. Washington in all of his various activities. Union Springs is only a few miles from the Tuskegee Institute. The whites in this section have become more violent as the colored people of this and adjoining counties have continued to secure education and property.
CLUB NOTES
(By Marion Noble)
Two weeks ago last Monday I was asked to meet the ladies of the S. I. a club at the beautiful home of Mrs. J. T. Lucas, 909 West Buchanan street. This being the second meeting of the season, the ladies had taken up their work with a vim and the spirit of enthusiasm was every where manifested. Mrs. George W. Caldwell is president and Mrs. Lillian Essex secretary. I also met with them on the following Monday at the home of Mrs. Lillian Essex, 612 South Third avenue, and you should have seen the beautiful pieces they were making. I took particular notice of the pieces that Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Shannon were working on, and they were beauties.
On the afternoon of October 29 I called at the residence of Mrs. Roy Lucas, 733 West Grant street, to see what the members of the Progressive club were doing. I found them preparing to do a great work, for, as you know, the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's clubs will meet in convention with the Arizona Federation next July and Phoenix is the meeting place. Mrs. Clarence Hamilton is president of the Progressive club and Mrs. Roy Lucas secretary.
On November 1st I was again invited to attend a meeting of the S. I. A. club at the residence of Mrs. Mary E. Scott, 715 West Grant street, and I was so favorably impressed that I decided to become a member of this club. The meeting was very interesting and there were three other visitors besides myself and all enjoyed the meeting. I was particularly attracted by a beautiful piece that Mrs. I. F. Silvers was making.
I shall be pleased to take note of all the club activities among the ladies of Phoenix if they will notify me of their meeting. Phoen 2181.

ability count for naught if you have a black face. In most every government department the colored members of my race are huddled together in some obscure corner or room and kept away from the other employees just as if they are infected with some infectious disease. Colored soldiers who fought in the bloody battlefields of France and contributed to the glorious American victory who are now working in the bureau of war risk insurance are not permitted to eat with the other employees of the building in the war risk restaurant.
MONUMENT ERECTED TO BLACK HEROES OF FRENCH REPUBLIC
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Mouphois, France, Nov. 4.—France honored Negro soldier heroes last week by dedicating a monument in honor of the men who fell in the great battles of the late war. The monument stands in one of the prominent squares in this city and is a beautifully sober and impressive piece of statuary. When the 272d United States Infantry left here its members left money in the care of General Quillet and other distinguished French army officers who were present. The United States was represented by Colonel R. John West, Lieut. Col. T. Bentley Mott and other officers. President Millerand sent an address which was read by General Quillet.

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Greenville, S. C., Nov. 4.—Don't turn a wheel or we will burn," read a warning which had been posted on a cotton gin near Gray Court in Laurens county, last Sunday morning. In the meantime cotton remains unpicked in the surrounding fields throughout the county while negro congregations in all the neighboring churches are holding meetings and praying for higher prices for cotton to prevent financial ruin and possible starvation. The cotton market remains unsteady and prices show a disposition to decline.

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. C., Nov. 4—Seven hundred delegates, chiefly from the South, assembled in Washington to celebrate the fifty-third anniversary of the Ancient United Order of Moses. The celebration took place in the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church. A welcome address on the part of the Court of Calanthe was delivered by Mrs. Esther J. Murray. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton was at her best in extending a cordial welcome to the delegates, on behalf of the various fraternal organizations of the city. In her address, she made strong points relating to the political situation and was received with round after round of applause. Mrs. Layton and Mrs. Murray were made life members of the order and were presented with badges.

FLORIBUS UNUM
AFRICANS DISCOVERED AMERICA ACCORDING TO HARVARD PROF.
Grew Peanuts and Sweet Potatoes
Here Before Columbus
Was Born
Boston, Mass., Nov. 4.—Who discovered America? Columbus in 1492.
Not on your life. This is old stuff and nonsense founded on myth and imagination. So says Prof. Leo Wiener, white, professor of Slavic languages in Harvard University, and he gives his proofs in a new book, "Africa and the Discovery of America."
According to Prof. Wiener, black men from the Guinea and Congo sailed across the Atlantic ocean, traded with the Indians, and some of them came to America and settled three hundred years before Christopher Columbus was born.
Here are some of the proofs presented which have set Boston and Harvard University by the ears, the more so because Prof. Wiener is an authority on the history of civilization and has an international reputation.
He points out that in Columbus' accounts of his voyage to America, Columbus said he had heard of Africans reaching a continent in the west. A good part of the present opinions about Columbus the discoverer, he adds, are frauds and "horrible lies."
Tobacco, Prof. Wiener adds, as well as sweet potatoes, yams, manioc and peanuts were brought here by Africans.
"It is a historical fact that in 1503 Negroes in large numbers were living in America and smoking and raising tobacco. Even the wampum belt, always thought of Indian origin, I have found was an African product and the making of it was taught Indians by the Africans."
HIGH COST OF LIVING TO BE DISCUSSED AT N. C. LEAGUE
New York, Nov. 4.—Speakers of national reputation will discuss high cost of living problems at the twenty-third annual meeting of the National Consumers' League to be held at Hotel Bellevue-Stratford, Philadelphia, on November 17 and 18, according to an announcement made by the league's national headquarters, 44 East 23d street, New York.
Newton D. Baker, secretary of war; Victor Murdock, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission; Mrs. Agnes Dennison Warbasse, educational secretary of the Co-operative League of America; Mrs. Edward P. Costigan, chairman of the committee on food supply and demand of the National League of Women Voters, and Mrs. Florence Kelley, general secretary of the National Consumers' League, are among the speakers listed to address representatives of consumer's leagues from all over the country. Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York has been invited to preside at a conference of minimum wage commission officials on November 17.
Subjects announced for discussion include whether prices can be lowered without lower wages; the relations of the consumer and the government to producers and the packers; municipal food markets and the elimination of waste in food handling; the textile industry and shoddy; what the worker and consumer expect of industry and how far these expectations are, and can be realized; and practical problems in fixing minimum wages related to the cost of living.
LAWYERS DEFENDED
B YCOLORED CLIENT
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Macon, Ga., Nov. 4.—Edward Howard, a negro, is under arrest here charged with defrauding five white lawyers out of sums of money ranging from $5 to $20. Howard gave each of the lawyers an alleged damage claim against a railroad and then borrowed money from them.
MARK DOWN SALES ONLY DECLINE NOTED IN LIVING COST
Boston, Nov. 4.—The cost of living in this state increased last month instead of declining, the commission on the necessities of life announced this week. The figures showed an advance in the index numbers of living costs from 98.5 for August to 100.1 for September.
"These figures," the statement said, "are a disappointment to every one who has observed the immense amount of selling propaganda relating to special lots of manufactured articles, especially clothing and shoes. The mark-down sales of merchandise have generally included things out of style, odd-sized, odd lots, and out of season. There has been almost no variation in regular standard lines of either clothing or shoes."
Of the five factors which enter into the cost of living, food, fuel, shelter, clothing and sundries, food is the only one which has declined in price during the month, according to the commissioners' figures.
Pacific Slope Baptist Convention Closes Successful Meetings
(Special to The Tribune)
Los Angeles, Nov. 4.—The Pacific Slope Baptist convention, which was organized last January in Seattle, Wash., closed its first annual session here last Sunday. The meeting was a success from every viewpoint. The promoters were very much elated over the success of the meeting. Delegates from Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona were present. Letters from many other well wishers for the success of the organization were read to the convention. A number of the letters were accompanied with money orders, sent as an evidence of their sincerity toward the movement, and to help promote the object of the great undertaking of the Baptists of the Pacific Slope.
The main feature of the convention was President Reed's message to the convention. The message was said to be one of the greatest ecclesiastical documents listened to by any similar body. It dealt largely with questions pertaining to the condition of the Baptist denomination on the coast, and giving a remedy to relieve the situation.
In addition to the regular business of the convention, a woman's work convention was organized with Mrs. Eva O. Solomon as president; Mrs. G. W. Reed, recording secretary; Mrs. W. D. Carter, of Seattle, Wash., general secretary, and Mrs. P. Hubert and S. Montgomery, of Stockton, as field secretaries, and Mrs. S. B. Strickland, treasurer. The Sunday school congress was organized and officers elected as follows; Capt. Wm. Reynolds, of Pasadena, president; Mrs. Casmon, of Seattle, vice-president; Mrs. Beatrice Johnson, Los Angeles, recording secretary; Mrs. W. D. Carter, general secretary; Mrs. A. T. Cooper, Los Angeles, treasurer. The B. Y. P. U. congress was also organized with the following officers elected to serve for the ensuing year: Mr. S. P. Johnson, Los Angeles, president; Miss Corborn, of Tacoma, recording secretary; A. A. Sutton, assistant secretary; Mrs. A. E. Cooper, treasurer.
The officers elected to carry forth the work of the convention proper for the next year are: Rev. G. W. Reed, LLB., president; Rev. S. G. Wilson, of Spokane, Wash., first vice-president; Rev. J. M. Riddle, second vice-president; Rev. W. H. Rozier, of Los Angeles, recording secretary; Rev. S. Montgomery, D.D., of Stockton, general secretary; Rev. L. C. Ross, San Bernardino, treasurer; Rev. J. A. Nelson, field secretary, and Rev. R. H. Wade, evangelist.
The convention plans to establish a book concern, a missionary and theological seminary and an old minister's and missionary benefit fund. It will co-operate with the National Baptist convention in doing mission work. Several boards have been appointed to put these objects in force. These boards will meet in April to perfect their plans for operation. Rev. G. W. Reed, the president, is pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church of this city and well known as an able
NOTED PRIMA DONNA TOURING AMERICA; MAY VISIT PHOENIX
(By The Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, O., Nov. 4—Madam Rachel Walker-Turner, who has been quietly living here since her return from Europe at the breaking out of the world war, has tentatively agreed to make a concert tour of the United States before returning to Europe. This prima donna is acknowledged to be the greatest colored soprano the world possesses today, or has ever possessed, and has few equals among the singers of any race. Before the world war interrupted her tour of the old world, during which she sang before most of the crowned heads of Europe, Mme. Walker-Turner was being showered with encomiums by nobility, the public and the music critics of the old world. After hearing her beautiful voice, her serent highness, the Princess of Saxe-Meiningen wrote of Mme. Walker-Turner's voice: "More like a beautiful zephyr than a human voice." Mme. Walker-Turner is perhaps the greatest, most finished pupil the great artist, Mme. Marchesie in Paris, France, ever turned out, and the great French artist goes in raptures over her celebrated former pupil's voice.
Having been urged to return to Europe for a concert tour of the populous cities on the continent, Mme. Walker-Turner has consented, but not until she has made a tour of the United States, as a result of requests to be heard again in America. Ralph W. Tyler of the Cleveland Advocate, Ohio, is now arranging a tentative itinerary for the great artist Mme. Walker-Turner opens her American tour at Columbus, Ohio, November 9th.

REPUBLICANS CARRY ARIZONA THIS TIME; CAMPBELL IN AGAIN
Admission by democratic leaders in Arizona that Mit Simms, candidate for governor, has been defeated in Tuesday's election by Governor Campbell, incumbent, and that a general republican victory over the entire state now seems certain, featured political developments today.
A statement was issued this morning by the republican central committee, in which they claimed a landslide for the entire republican ticket, with possibly one or two close races. Although complete returns from every county will not be received for several days, it is evident that Campbell has defeated Sims for governor, Ralph Cameron has bested Mark Smith for the United States senate and that the state has given Harding and Coolidge a respectable majority.
Ralph Cameron ran like a wild deer and is easily the leader of the republican ticket in this state. Maricopa county, formerly the democratic stronghold, gave practically all the republican candidates a large majority over their democratic opponents. In this county the republicans have elected the county attorney, two supervisors, county recorder, county superintendent of schools, sheriff, two state senators, treasurer, assessor, in fact every man who was fortunate enough to have his name placed on the republican ticket.
Late reports from Yavapai, Yuma, Cochise and other counties show that they have followed the example set by Maricopa county and have piled up large majorities for the republican candidates.
On the state ticket, the republicans have made a clean sweep, electing every officer from the governor down. Miss Toles, republican candidate for state superintendent of public instruction, has left her opponent, A. O. Peterson, far in the background. Gailbraith has beaten Wiley Jones for the attorney general's office by a big majority. This is considered significant, due to the fact that Wiley Jones was looked upon as the strongest candidate on the democratic ticket. In beating Wiley Jones, it was like the slaying of Goliath by the shepherd boy, David. "When the Philistines saw their leader was dead, they fled." After the returns came in showing that Jones had been defeated, the democratic leaders conceded a republican victory for Arizona.
It is unfortunate the republicans had no candidate in the race for superior judge, for they could have landed their man with perfect ease. Maricopa county went republican crazy this time and happy are those who were so fortunate as to have their names in the republican column.
PEEPING TOM BUSY IN OLD KENTUCKY

If the prowler is caught he will be severely dealt with by the committee.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
An erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any
person, firm or corporation which may appear in the columns of THE
TRIBUNE will be gladly corrected upon its being brought to the attention of
the publishers.
A Republican landslide, throughout the state and nation, just as we predicted. Among the congratulatory messages received by President-Elect Warren G. Harding, is one from the Phoenix Tribune, pledging him the support of Arizona and predicting for him one of the largest majorities ever given a Republican candidate for president. This letter was mailed last Saturday so that it would reach Mr. Harding about the time other letters and telegrams would be sent, congratulating him on the victory achieved.
The people of this country have spoken and in language that cannot be misunderstood, have said: "We are tired of Democratic mis-rule and now want a Republican administration." The leaders and the party will not be found wanting and none will regret the wise course the country has taken.
In order to make assurance doubly sure, we suggest to Republican leaders and campaign managers that they begin at once to fortify themselves for the next political fight a few years hence. Don't relax one particle, but hold fast to that which you have acquired, and begin building up your fences for the next struggle. Now that we have gained possession and control of this government, let's retain our hold on it by blocking every avenue whereby the opposition might creep in. The time to begin laying plans for the next campaign is NOW.
We are justly proud of the part the Phoenix Tribune played in the campaign, both state and national. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction, that the Tribune is the only paper in Maricopa county that came out boldly and stood absolutely and resolutely by the Republican county and state ticket throughout the campaign. As to the stand we took for the National ticket, Hon. Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National committee, can best tell about that. We have a personal letter from him, commending the Tribune for the fearless stand it took out here in this supposedly Democratic stronghold. We have in former campaigns, supported the Republican ticket passively, but in this campaign there was too much at stake and so we became an active and militant supporter of the Republican party and its principles. For doing this we have no regrets and are as elated over the outcome as the successful candidates themselves.
Let's forget party names and party distinctions during the coming administration and work for the common good and elevation of the masses. Let's get back to the constitution and make this a government, not of Democrats or Republicans, but of the people, for the people and by the people.

Out of the wilderness, out of the night,
Has the black man crawled to the dawn of light;
Beaten by lashes and bound by chains,
A beast of burden with soul and brains,
He has come thro' sorrow and need and woe,
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know.
You took his freedom and gave it again,
But grudged as you gave it, ye white-faced men.
Not all of freedom is being free,
And a dangerous plaything is liberty
For untaught children.
"We gave what he asked for—place and pay And right of franchise." All wrong, all wrong. He was but a child to be led along By the hand of Love. Has he felt its touch? Nay, you gave unwisely and gave too much, But you gave not the things that his groping mind Was reaching up in the dark to find— They were Love and Knowledge.
Must be the patience that hopes to right
The wrongs that are heavy with age and brought
To the levels of virtues by mortal thought,
And greater than patience must be the trust
In the ultimate outcome of what is just,
And in and under and through and above
Must weave the warp of purpose—Love.
Red with anguish his way has been,
This suffering brother of dusky skin,
For centuries fettered and bound to earth,
Slow his unfolding to freedom's birth,
Slow his rising from burden and ban
To fill the stature of normal man.
You must give him his wings ere you tell him to fly,
You must set the example and bid him try.
Let the white man pay for the white man's crime—
Let him work in patience and bide God's time.
Out of the wilderness, out of the night
Has the black man crawled to the dawn of light,
He has come through the valley of great despair
He has borne what no white man ever can bear.
He has come through sorrow and pain and woe.
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know.
Isn't it amusing to see how one merchant will condemn the "Special Sale" methods of another and then turn right around and use the same meth. himself? Wonder if he thinks the people have forgotten the advice and information given by him during the other fellow's sale? We don't believe the people forget so readily as that.

Yearwood and Mr. Crump, of Ray, Ariz. Mr. Alexander, the expert barber, acted as master of ceremonies. Music was furnished by the famous Colored Orchestra of Prescott, Ariz. Everybody was well pleased with the speakers and also enjoyed themselves immensely at the close of this splendid affair.
The officers and members of the People's A. M. E. Zion Church are very jubilant over the wonderful and rapid success of the church since Dr. A. C. Yearwood has in charge of the work. The church attendance is growing rapidly each Sunday. Also the work of the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor is meeting with phenomenal success. We are also very grateful to Mrs. Paris Tabron for the choir and orchestra she has organized for the church. This choir and orchestra is undoubtedly one of the best in the state of Arizona.
Dr. Yearwood is sweeping everything before him. Come and help this worthy. God-fearing and scholarly young man in the noble work in which he is engaged. All are welcome. A nice warm church and a cordial membership awaits you.
In a few days Dr. Yearwood will be starting up an English class. All persons who are desirous of increasing their knowledge of English may call on Dr. Yearwood.
Dr. Yearwood will be preaching every night next week. Come and hear him.
Dred Scott Decision Is
Revived By Recent
Case In Michigan
(By The Associated Negro Press)
New York, N. Y., Nov. 4.—Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., gave the following interview for the Associated Negro Press on the case of Tom Ray, colored, of Wilkinson county, Georgia, whose extradition to Georgia for trial on a charge of murder the association is fighting. Ray is at present in custody in the Wayne county jail, Detroit, Michigan.
"Tom Ray, in self defense killed a white man named Faulkner," said Mr. White, "in Wilkinson county, Georgia, after Faulkner had several times made attempts on Ray's life. Ray escaped to Canada, later returning to Detroit, where he was arrested.
"Governor Sleeper of Michigan granted extradition to the Georgia authorities for Ray, although the last Negro for whom he granted extradition was lynched twelve hours after he had arrived in Kentucky.
"Attorneys Willis and Hinton and Attorney W. Hayes McKinney, acting for the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P., immediately applied for a writ of habeas corpus. A hearing on this was held before Judge Hunt in Detroit on Wednesday, October 13.
Judge Hunt granted the writ, but Ray was immediately re-arrested when Georgia officials wired that an indictment was being forwarded.
"A new hearing was held before Governor Sleeper on the indictment on Wednesday, October 20th. I testified at that time as an investigator of lynchings and as one of the compilers of "Thirty Years of Lynching," showing that if Ray were taken back to the state of eGorgia he would not oply fail to receive a fair trial but would very probably be lynched immediately upon his return.
"In spite of the facts presented Governor Sleeper said he saw no reason why Ray should not be returned. The attorneys for Ray immediately applied for a new writ of habeas corpus and in the event that fails the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will take the case to the federal court.
"This case," said Mr. White in conclusion, "ought to be of especial interest to colored people of the United States as it may establish a precedent in the denial of extradition to Southern states where Negroes accused of crime are lynched or denied justice."
CONFESSED MURDERER

Personal, Local and Society News
OF THE STATE CAPITAL By R. L. S., Society Editor
The teachers of Douglas school gave a delightful reception Thursday evening, November 4, to the parents and patrons of the school. Prof. P. Landry, principal of the school, was master of ceremonies and in a plain heart to heart talk explained the object of the meeting. He stated that a closer relationship should exist between the parents and teachers and that such meetings were designed for that purpose. He also told of the various problems with which the teachers have to deal and of how the parents and friends of our educational institutions could help to solve these problems by closer association with the teachers and by giving them their co-operation and support. Rev. E. D. Greene, pastor of the Second Baptist church, was the first speaker on the program and in a few well chosen words pledged his support and that of the people whom he represented. Rev. M. Thompson, pastor of the C. M. E. church, was next introduced and delivered an appropriate address. Rev. T. J. Sanford, pastor of the A. M. E. church, was the third speaker on the program, and in his own inimitable and scholarly way delivered a masterful address. A. R. Smith, editor of The Tribune, was next introduced and made a few brief remarks. Mrs. Jessie James was presented and delivered a short talk in behalf of the mothers. Her discourse was opportune and she received loud applause. Refreshments were served and all present had an enjoyable time. More than sixty patrons and friends were present. At the close of the exercises, Mrs. L. A. Walker delighted the audience with a violin solo. She was accompanied by Miss Gertrude Roberts at the piano.
Thanksgiving Ball
A Thanksgiving dance will be given on the evening of Nov. 24 at Patrick's hall. Prof. P. A. Vernne's five-piece orchestra will furnish music for the occasion. You will have the evening of your life. H. W. Garret, general manager.—Advt.

E. church at which time officers for the ensuing year will be elected. All the people of Phoenix and the valley are invited to attend these meetings. J. A. Green, president; Milton Lewis, secretary.
What has been conceded to be the most successful revival service ever held in Phoenix closed last Sunday night at the C. M. E. Church. Rev. Dr. Mills, of Shreveport, La., had all services in charge and for ten nights

Current events in many ways constantly demonstrate the great effectiveness of our newspapers. They are today the greatest silent force in the development of our program of achievement. Journalistic progress among us has the admiration of our friends and the fear of our enemies.
The people—the great masses—are backing up the newspapers in every possible way, and they have faith in what they "see in the papers."
The story is told of a well-known orator who recently made a talk before a big crowd. He pleaded for his cause eloquently. After he had finished, one of his hearers came forward with one of our newspapers in his hand, and this is what he said to the speaker, after grasping his hand: "Mr. Speaker, I know what you say is all right, but look what our newspaper says on the subject." And it was not what the speaker said.
Having attained this magnificent confidence of the public, the news papers will not retain it unless they keep always alert in giving the people the very best obtainable in news and editorial opinion. With all the splendid grip the church has on the people, it is not today what it once was, and certainly not what it should be. The reason is plain. The ministers have not kept step with the progress of the people. Where the ministers are showing initiative, individuality, intelligence, unselfishness and moral force, they are, even today, having tremendous success.
Newspapers without a strong editorial page are like a house without light, a furnace without fuel, or a wagon without wheels. Editorial opinion gives vitality and power to the newspaper. Public sentiment is molded, communities and nations are swayed by opinion.
It is said by some that only a limited number of people read the editorial page. This is true, perhaps, and it is likewise true that only a limited number of people control the destinies of mankind.
Our newspapers have unlimited opportunities before them. They are everywhere in the ascendency. They must rise to the occasion and serve righteously the cause for which they exist.

W. L. George, Writer,
Tells The Married Folks
How To Be Happy
English Feminist in First American Lecture on "Love and Marriage" (New York, Oct. 29.)
W. L. George, distinguished English novelist and feminist, in his first public lecture in America, at Aeolian Hall last evening, talked so wittily and pithily on "Love and Marriage" that he kept his capacity audience constantly chortling and appeared to bring husbands and wives listening to him into a more good-humored understanding. His chief solvent for being "happy though married" was to bear in mind always that marriage means a constant courtship even after the wedding ceremony.
"Marriage is the natural state of man," he said. "It is the only insurance against loneliness. Celibacy isn't the ideal state. A cellist is another name for a hypocrite and a liar. Nevertheless, marriage is a delicate machine that requires a technique and an art of its own to run it satisfactorily. The most important thing for a husband and wife to remember is that marriage is a continual courtship.
"The husband must remember to say to his wife at least once a day, I love you, in one form or another. I recall watching a man harness his horse one day while his wife looked on. Without any preparatory remark, he turned to her suddenly and said, 'I love you.' The wife said nothing, but she smiled—that was enough. And the wife must bear in mind to say to her husband at frequent intervals, 'How strong you are!' Or, if he's too small to justify that, she should say, 'How clever you are!' We can all stand for that.
"They should both treasure up some idea to bring to the other at the end of the day. That's why it has been my experience that most unhappy marriages are traceable to men. They forget that their wives at home have a more restricted sphere than they, and unless they bring some thought to trigen up their lives the wives grow dull. And dullness is deadly to a happy marriage. It's the constant study of another personality that stimulates one. The ideal marriage is one in which both parties think constantly how to give a fuller life to the other.
"When a man marries he believes it's time to settle down. When a woman marries she believes it's time to have a livelier time. But both must eschwey adventure. And one must forgive till seventy times seventy. Stored up venom leads to unhappiness.
"If you both have any irritation over habits of the other, make out a list of those qualities, have a friendly conference and exchange criticisms. Maybe you don't like your wife in blue; maybe she doesn't like you to sing in the bath. You may both deny these charges, but little by little you will find yourselves giving up the offending traits."
In answering questions which he invited the audience to ask afterward, he defined love as "the maximum physical, intellectual and aesthetic attraction." Frank Crowninshield, editor of Vanity Fair, in introducing the author, said that as soon as a man started to study a woman, that meant he would marry her, and acknowledged that was why he never had studied any.

FROM PHOENIX PLAIN DEALER--
There is a new lumber yard at 16th Ave. and Harrison owned by Wm. F. Ohlrau who admits coming to this city two years ago with only $1.65 in pocket and now claims he can sign his name for $20,000. During his two years in this vicinity he has upheld union principles in a measure and through this has virtually accumulated what he has. He now takes the stand that he does not want the support or assistance of the unions or union men. We would ask our friends to pass up this lumber yard when they need anything in this line.
ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE NOTICE
Which appeared in the local union paper, Wm .F. Ohlrau has broken the world's record employing union labor and making $20,000 in 2 years with only $1.65 for a starter.
OHLRAU IS NOW OPEN SHOP
and has both Capital and Horse Sense enough to run his own business. Times have changed and if I hadn't flopped over the other way I'd be down to $1.65 again before long.

Another car of 2x4's will sell at $45 and 100,000 ft. of other stock, ceiling, battings, flooring, sashes, doors, in fact anything for the building. This stock moved from my old yard, which I am closing out. I made up my mind to buy lumber--I need the money and I'm sure not going to lose it. W. H. OHLRAU, Builder.
