PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year ENVY AND JEALOUSY PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF TULSA RACE RIOT ENVY AND JEALOUSY PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF TULSA RACE RIOT (By The Associated Negro Press) Tulsa, Okla., June 9.—Tulsa lies stricken unto death. The city is literally in sackcloth and ashes and it seems like a veritable miracle that it has escaped complete destruction. Whatever it enjoyed in the matter of thrift, enterprise and a fair name has been, for the moment at least, destroyed by a wanton, ferdish mob, actuated by jealousy and race hatred, which sought to wipe out the Negroes and their section of the city for the simple reason their prosperity and intelligent development was becoming too evident to suit the wishes of a certain element of whites. Whole Truth Not Told But little of the real truth has reached the outside world concerning the whole, horrible affair. The attempted rape incident has turned out to be nothing more than a discovery of the fact that a giddy white girl had become infatuated with a comely young Negro lad of scarcely more than 20 years of age. He was arrested at the instance of a group of white men and the charge of attempted rape was lodged against him. The boy is yet in jail but the girl has disappeared and the rape charge is about to fall to the ground. Negroes Fear Lynching It is true that shortly after the arrest of the young colored man a small number of Negro men gathered in the vicinity of the jail. Tulsa Negroes had decided that no lynching should take place in Tulsa without a blood sacrifice to prevent it. Rumors had reached the colored section that a lynching would be attempted by the whites. When the colored men arrived in the vicinity of the jail they found a number of white men who immediately assumed a hostile attitude toward the colored men. It was not long before trouble started and the riot well under way. The Negroes fearing that their suspicions that a lynching was to be effected was about to be confirmed fought with great deseration and courage. Negroes Outnumbered Within a short while the Negroes were outnumbered by the whites and they began an orderly retreat which carried them to the north side of the Frisco railroad tracks where they made a stand so vallant and death dealing that a S. O. S. was sent out by the chief of the local police for soldier help. In the meantime the casuatiles were mounting up with the odds in favor of the colored combatants. It was near midnight when the militia arrived on the scene. This turned the tide of battle to the whites again. The Negroes retreated. Then it was that the white hoodlums began to apply the torch to the business concerns of the colored people located along Greenwood avenue. Prominent Negroes Killed Prominent Negroes Killed It was but a short step from the business section to the better residential section in this locality. Here three prominent colored men met death defending their homes from the torch bearing mob. Dr. A. C. Jackson, the leading colored physician of the city, was killed on his doorstep and, his well appointed home touched by the torch and totally destroyed by the fire that followed. The same fate befell Wesley Williams, the wealthiest Negro in Tulsa and the owner of the Dreamland theater, also destroyed by fire. Williams was reputed to be worth more than $200,000. Dr. John Wayne died fighting protecting his home which was destroyed by fire. John Wheeler, one of the oldest employees at the First National, was killed by a stray bullet while on his way to the bank Wednesday morning. No colored man in Tulsa was more highly respected than John Wheeler. He had been in the employ of the First National for a long number of years and was one of the familiar and popular figures of the city. He was buried with signal honors, the officials of the bank attending in a body. ```markdown ``` The fires spread. White brutes applied the torch while the militia busied itself with the disarming and arresting of such Negroes who were unlucky enough to fall into their hands. In a short period of time a great host CHIEF GRAND MENTOR I.O.T.CALLED UPON TO SETTLE DISPUTE (By The Associated Negro Press) xcv Cincinnati, Ohio, June 9.—There is dissension in the ranks o the International Order of Twelve, a Negro fraternal organization which has branches in nearly every city in the United States, because Harry S. Jacobs, Chief Arcane of the order and a dept of the Grand Chief Mentor, Pitts' burg, Pa., declares that Mrs. Mamie B. Bacon, 826 West Eighth street, refused to obey an edict of the Grand Lodge. Mrs. Bacon is High Priestess of Queen May Tabernacle, No. 32, of Cincinnati, a branch of the International Order of Twelve. A petition filed by Attorney W. B. Bush alleges that Mrs. Wilson, the High Priestess, is threatening to dispose of all the property, money and papers of Queen May Tabernacle. Judge Edward T. Dixon issued a temporary restraining order. Mrs. Bacon says the trouble should have been settled in the lodgeroom, and she expects it to be so settled Saturday night, when, she says, the Chief Grand Mentor of the order, is to be here from Pitsburgh. 14-Year Old School Girl Shoots Black Faced Assailant (By The Associated Negro Press) Texarkana, Ark., June 9.—Claude A. Dunigan, 30 years old. early last Tuesday was shot and killed by a 14-year-old girl, who, according to police, said she fired at Dnigan when he appeared at her bedroom window. The girl was not held. Dunigan's face was corked black. of defenseless women and children were being driven helter skelter by the unfeeling mob or made prisoners by the militia and police. The new Mt. Zion church, recently built at a cost of $85,000 was partially destroyed by fire. It was dedicated on the 10th of last April and is said to be the largest church structure owned by colored in the state of Oklahoma. Governor Robertson declared a state of martial law early Thursday morning. He was greatly affected by the condition of things which met him upon his arrival. He openly declared that a competent sheriff and a less cowardly chief of police would have put an end to the trouble without much effort. He has ordered an investigation and declares he is going to the bottom of the trouble to determine it origin and the causes which led up to the riot. Plans for Relief An elaborate plan for relief has been devised backed by the local chamber of commerce and prominent citizens. It is proposed to raise a fund of $500,000 at least for the purpose of rehabilitating the Negro section and thereby restore, as near as possible, normal if not better conditions for that end of the city where the colored people lived. The Chicago Tribune has contributed $1,000 to the fund. Jealously Main Cause for Riot The main cause for the riot goes back of the arrest of the young colored man who provided the immediate reason for the outburst. Retail dealers in the main section of Tulsa have long been envious of the business enterprises which the Negroes were sustaining out in their section. And then again while the colored people were doing the menial domestic work in Tulsa they were making a more prosperous showing, on the whole, than the "poor whites." These situations added to the devilish work of agitators made it rather easy to start a conflagration of hate and prejudice whenever a match was applied to the strained conditions. The discovery of a love affair between a white gril and a colored youth furnished the match and Tulsa lies today stricken to its very heart. Order Now Maintained Order Now Maintained There have been no outbursts during the week. The authorities are now awake, thanks to the courage and vigilance of Governor Robertson, and it is not now expected that rioting will be resumed. The investigation and the relief work are to start at once. TAFT IMPOSSIBLE AS CHIEF JUSTICE U. S. SUPREME COURT (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., June 9.—Former President William Howard Taft, may be named the next Chief Justice of the United States. Intimations that the President may name the former President comes from White House circles, and the reason given for an early decision is the desire of the President to eliminate as much contention for the high office as possible, in a state of affairs where he is exceedingly busy. The suggestion that Mr. Taft may be appointed Chief Justice has hit the colored people of the country with a thud, and it may be safely said that the matter will not pass without a very lively protest based on what the people regard as just grounds. One leader said: "As Chief Justice, Mr. Taft is impossible. He is a man who is generously willing to substitute personal impression policy for the letter and spirit of the law." The opposition to Mr. Taft dates from the "Brownsville Affair," goes on down through his administration as President, when he openly catered to the "Lilly White" element of the South, changed the policy of all preceding Republican presidents in regard to appointing colored citizens, and of at least one Democratic president, Grover Cleveland. Another prominent man remarked: "Taft set our people back fifty years in political al progress." The latest criticism against him is the article last printed in a syndicate of dailies, in which he proceeded to suggest the policy of colored appointments under the Harding administration. Mr. Taft declares that everybody knows the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are "winked at" and yet it wouldn't be good policy to stir up trouble by enforcing them, nor, in his opinion should there be appointments made that would irritate the South. UGLY CHAGES AGAINST A. M. E. PREACHER BASELY UNJUST, UNTRUE (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, June 9.—Standing in the pulpit of the large A. M. E. Bethel church on the morning of Sunday May 29th, Mr. S. L. Birt received the plaudits and vindication of more than three thousand people who had crowded the edifice for the express purpose of adopting a set of resolutions which set forth their confidence in him as a man and their high regard for him as the pastor of the church. This action of the church followed quickly on the heels of a grounded report that had been circulated to the effect that Dr. Birt had been arrested for carrying concealed weapons. Efforts to get at the bottom reason for the unwarranted report and consequently gossip that gained considerable currency throughout the city before an investigation brought it to a sudden stop failed to completely as certain the origin although considerable has been brought to light which sheds light on the probable cause. The resolutions were read by Dr. A. J. Offord, one Chicago's prominent physicians. RALPH W. TYLER PASSES TO REWARD (By The Associated Negro Press) Columbus, Ohio, June 9.—Ralph Tyler, one of the noted colored journalists of the country, died here Wednesday night of last week after a short illness. Mr. Tyler was one of the best known men of the race and had an interesting and notable career. He was a conspicuous figure in the politics in this state and enjoyed in distinction of knowing many of the prominent Ohio men of public affairs, President Harding being among the number. He was Fourth Auditor in the Department of the Navy during the Taft administration and later was a war correspondent during the late world conflict, serving in that capacity on the European battlefields.

COTTON SHORTAGE THIS YEAR WILL BE GREAT SAYS EXPERT (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, June 9.—The country faces the shortest cotton crop in the last quarter of a century, J. S. Wannamaker, of St. Matthews, S. C., president of the American Cotton Association, told the national consultation conference of American growers. This shortage is largely due, he said, to the successful cotton acreage reduction campaign of the association in its efforts to create a market and prevent further deflation in prices. He quoted statistics to show the acreage had been reduced 30.73 per cent. He declared there must be united effort on the part of government and business if the cotton industry is to regain its feet and the financial difficulties of the growers, due to an artificial deflation in values, are to be overcome. Women Jurors Soon To Be Established Fact In Old Kentucky (By The Associated Negro Press) Frankfort, Ky. June 9.—The right of women to serve on a jury in Kentucky will be determined when the appellate court decides the case of Conrad Wages against the Commonwealth, filed here on appeal of the Laurel Circuit Court. Two women served on the jury that convicted Wages when he pleaded guilty to the charge of having made moonshine. Public opinion appears to be divided on the question, many fearing Colored women will insist on doing a share of the jury duty in case the court decides the question against Wages. Insane Woman Cause Of $100,000 Fire In Macon Macon, Ga., June 9.—An insane woman, stripped of all clothing, appeared last Wednesday night on the campus of the Central City College, a Negro institution, and fired one of the frame buildings, which was burned with a loss of $100,000.

MANNING IS GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE FOR WHOLESALE MURDER MANNING IS GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE FOR WHOLESALE MURDER Covington, Ga., June 9.—(Special.) Clyde Manning convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Lindsey Peterson, one of the victims of the Jasper county "murder farm," late this afternoon appealed for a new trial, and Judge John B. Hutcheson set the hearing of the motion for July 30, in Decatur. After four hours of argument and delivery of the judge's charge, the case of the Negro farm boss went to the jury at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and 40 minutes later a verdict of guilty with recommendation for mercy was returned. Only two ballots were taken by the jury in reaching its decision. Manning Is Anxious Manning was smoking a cigarette when the jury filed into the room. He threw it away immediately court was called to order, and looked expectantly at the men who had decided his fate. "Have you gentlement reached a verdict?" asked the court. The foreman nodded affirmatively. "Receive the verdict, please Mr. Solicitor." Manning's head fell forward on his knees when the word "guilty" fell from the reader's lips, but when the recommendation for mercy followed he sat up, and expression of relief appearing on his face. "Stand up, Clyde," ordered Judge Hutcheson. The Negro arose, standing with one hand on the chair and the other nervously playing about his foreheal. "Clyde," the jury has found you guilty with a recommendation for mercy, and the sentence of the court is that you spend the rest of your life in the penitentiary. Have a seat. Taken to Atlanta Manning resumed his seat listening to the Judge dismiss the jury and pass sentence on a white boy. A few hours later, he was carried to Atlanta and placed in the Fulton Tower. There he will await the outcome of his motion. Manning confessed to the murder of a number of workmen on the "death farm." but claimed he was forced to commit the murders by John S. Williams, proprietor of the plantation, who is now under life sentence for the murder of Peterson. Marvin Underwood, leading counsel for the defendant, filed the appeal a short time before Manning was returned to Atlanta. More Negro Troops To Become Part Of Regular Army Washington, D.

Notary Public 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year KILLS OFFICER WHO TRIED TO ENTER HOME IS FREED BY JURY KILLS OFFICER WHO TRIED TO ENTER HOME IS FREED BY JURY (Special to The Tribune) Greensburg, Pa., June 9.—James Franklin Marshall, of Jeanette, who shot and killed Policeman Joseph Bossart, (white) on the morning of January 29, 1921, was acquitted of the charge of murder at 4 o'clock Tuesday, when the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty." The case was one of the most sensational ever tried in court here; the testimony of the witnesses and cross questioning of the lawyers bringing out many issues which were sharply contested. Jury Out 30 Minutes Directly after the verdict, a motion was made to the court to have Marshall released from the custody of the sheriff. The jury was out but 30 minutes before they returned with their verdict exonerating Marshall from all blame. Relating of the incidents which led up to and followed the fatal shooting, Marshall told his story in a straightforward manly fashion, and his bearing alone seemed to convince the jury of his innocence Part of his testimony follows: "I and my wife had retired shortly after eleven o'clock on the evening of January 28. About 2:20 a. m., I was awakened by my wife who had heard a noise at the window. I kicked at the wall below, the window, with the intention of scaring the intruder away. "A short time later, I was again awakened by my wife, who had heard the noise again. This time she claimed that she had heard the window being raised. Resting on one elbow, I secured my revolver, which I always kept under my pillow, and asked my wife, will it scare you too much, if I shoot to scare him away? My wife answered, "No." Thereupon I fired one shot through the wall below the window, while still lying in bed. Then I called Chas. Hunter, a boarder, to go to the front door, while I went to the side. We saw no one. "I thought it best to report the matter to the proper authorities, so Hunter and I dressed quickly and started for the police station. About 150 feet from the house we saw a man lying face down on the ground. Not knowing whether he was hurt or merely drunk, we went on to the station and notified Officer Cowan, who returned with us to the point where the body was living As he turned the body over, Cowan, startled said, "Hell, it's Bossart." After a few more words, Cowan left us to watch the body, while he went for an officer and doctor. He returned about an hour later, and we were taken to the police station." Mrs. Viana May Marshall strengthened her husband's case by refusing to become rattled at the repeated questions asked by the prosecution. She related the incidents time after time without variation. Partially Disguised It was admitted by the police that when shot, Patrolman Bossart was wearing a black cap and a black overcoat over his uniform to appear as a plain clothes man One point brought up by the prosecution was the fact that the window of the house had been securely nailed, making it impossible to be raised But the defense was ready with witnesses. The owner of the house testiled that two days previous to the shooting, he had opened the window, while making some necessary repairs, and never renailed it. The court room was packed by friends of Marshall, and others, who had been drawn to the courtroom because of the notoriety attending the case. And throughout the entire course of the trial, numerous ones hung on the outside, anxious to obtain just a morsel of news as to the progress of the battle being waged between two of the shrewdest lawyers in the city. Many were present as character witnesses, and all gave the defendant a clean slate. The Commonwealth was represented by Attorney Adam B. Shafe; and First Assistant District Attorney Wm. T. Dom; while Marshall was ably defended by Philip K. Shaner and Paul McCormick, of Greensburg.

THE DISGRACE OF TULSA (From The Tulsa Daily World) Pround, matchless Tulsa comes before the bar of Christian civilization this day, and, with head bowed, the mantle of shame upon her cheek, and, we sincerely hope, with deep regret in her heart, asks that she be pardoned the great offense some of her citizens committed during Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. There is not a man worthy of the name whose heart is not afire with indignation against that which has been done. Members of a superior race, boastful of the fact, permitted themselves to degenerate into murderers and vandals; permitted themselves to deal their home community the foulest blow it has ever received in its history. Tulsa boasted that she was not Ardmore. And now a negligible number of men have plunged the reputation of the fair city into the depths of infamy. Language is incapable of painting the wrong which has been committed against the community and its peaceful, law-abiding citizens or of expressing the indignity one inevitably feels toward men incapable of controlling their passions and their prejudices. It is true that the pride of race as well as its prejudice is a consuming fire in the veins of every nationality. On this ground one would like, if it were at all possible, to condone or excuse the hysteria of Tuesday evening and night, when the streets of the city were suddenly transformed into a raging torrent of hate-impelled men. The imprudence of the Negroes in arming themselves and visiting the county jail permits something to be said for those who responded to the riot impulse and set out to satiate the blood lust of racial pride. But nothing that the mind is capable of conceiving permits a word of defense or excuse for the murderous vandalism which set in at daylight the next morning. Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property—the homes of women and children, black in color, to be sure, but guilty of no other offense—went up in smoke. Semi-organized bands of white men systematically applied the torch while others shot on sight men of color. The Colored section of the city was wiped out, and a long line of hopeless, destitute, pitiful refugees fled northward from the burning town. The German invasion of Belgium with its awful consequences was no more unjustified or characterized with any greater cruelty. In the conflagration a splendid church but recently erected and one of the handsome educational edifices of the school district was lost. To such property the vandals applied the torch to make sure of their terrible purpose. The entire "race war" was as unjustified as it was unnecessary. Because of it Tulsa is blazoned as a community where tolerance does not exist, where the constitution of the United States can be enforced or suspended at will; where prejudice and race bigotry rules, and where law and order haltingly flexes the knee to outlawry. Ten thousand citizens have been rendered homeless and made exiles on the face of the earth. Will Tulsa accept such a reputation willingly? Will this city tolerate such injustice—accept meekly the sudden ending of its dream of primacy and glory? If not, then the substantial, constructive citizenship must immediately get into action. There is but one way in which Tulsa can rehabilitate itself either in its own eyes or the eyes of the outside world. That is by rebuilding that which has been destroyed. Vandalism has taken the homes and the savings of thousands of people. Tulsa must restore that which has been taken. The sins of a comparative few are thus visited upon the whole community. But it is a cross that must be shouldered willingly and heroically. This restitution, not because of affectionate regard for the Colored man, but because of an honorable and intense regard for the white race whose boast of superiority must now be justified by concrete acts. Not else can the wound of passion be healed or the scars of intolerant hatred be soothed. In this moment men of Tulsa stand at the crossroads in the city's destiny. One way leads to a greater and more glorious future; the other certainly leads to retrogression and decay. There must not, there cannot, be any hesitating. TYRANNY VERSUS DEMOCRACY (By Chas, M. Tucker) For the sake of comparison, what is the difference between a tyrannical form of government and a democratic form of government? Your intuitive answer would be: "The tyrannical form of government is the government of a tyrant, or one; while the democratic form of government is the government of the people." Right. Now you ask the question: "In which form of government is there the greater possibility of tyranny?" An inadvertent reply would be: "The government whose rule and laws are the pleasures of one has the greater possibility of tyranny." But a calm consideration of the question would bring forth a different reply. As we know, the executive form of government, of the president of any local order, no matter what the organization may be, is decided through the strength of the majorities.

OVER $2,500,000 PAID IN CLAIMS TO POLICY HOLDERS. through the comfort of numbers, tyranny is even more possible in a democratic form of government than in tyrannical form of government. "How"? Like this. The subjects of the tyrannical government can conspire to overthrow their ruler; while, on the other hand, those placed in authority through the strength of majorities have little or nothing of that nature to fear. To illustrate the possibility of tyranny through the strength of majorities, take 50,000,000 people who are subject to the same laws and accommodations. How far could 38,000,000 go in imposing their demands over the 12,000,000? Suppose that same 38,000,000 would not allow the 12,000,000 to worship as they desired? Could the 12,000,000 do so any way? Suppose all the Masons and Knights of Pythias in the United States would desire to drive out all the Odd Fellows? Could they accomplish their desire? Suppose the three largest powers would make certain demands of the three smallest nations? What would the outcome be? Of course, such examples would seem outrageous and far-fetched; but they furnish excellent illustrations to show the tyrannical possibilities of the majorities. Whether in the affairs of the home, the church, clubs, fraternal organizations, corporations, associations, municipalities, state of the United States, the choice of the majorities weilds the sceptre of authority and power. Tyrammy is not a matter of individuals. What about the rights of the fewer? Are their rights the cause of unrest? When we read of strikes, a phase of local industrial unrest, we know the fundamental is a demand for either money, shorter hours, or for more adequate consideration. Therefore, a strike is a united force demanding something, mostly money, and the demands seem reasonable, this furnishes an example of tyrannical possibilities in majorities, so far as money is concerned. Social unrest is due to a lack of mutual relationship; or to a lack of natural understanding of people whose lives are distinctively shaped with reference to one another. 12,000,000 people can be in a state of pepetual social unrest under 38,000,000, insofar as this pertains to a lack of mutual relations, sympathetic understanding and entitled accommodations. An example of tyrannical possibilities in the strength of numbers. Any state of national unrest may be interpreted as one nation being disposed to caution through apprehension for supremacy of other nations' fighting forces. The current controversy over the naval building program of the three great powers would tend to indicate a desire for majorities in strength of fighting forces. The Hatien delegates have recently left in Washington their "memoirs" which contained charges, with a request for reparation, of atrocities committed in Haiti by the United States marines. As the charges should not be ignored, this illustrates the possibilities of a helpless state of a small nation to one of the largest powers. From the above, it is seen that through the comfort of numbers, it is quite possible for an appearance of tyranny through the strength of majorities. Indeed, the democratic form of government is the ideal form of government; but, like all ideal things, it must be carefully watched—if it is to remain good—in order to prevent any aspects of tyranny in considering the rights of those who constitute the tokens of minority. Keeping a democratic form of government clean, and at the same time protecting the rights of the fewer, should be the duty of all members of any majorities of the church, clubs, associations, fraternal organizations, states, and United States. And this can only be done by scrutinizing all laws and legislation and by-laws for a possible suspicion of tyranny. The outcome of the affairs of Haiti should be of the same interest to us as well as any legislation which might be made to curb lynching. The rights of the fewer should always be borne in mind. The democratic form of government is the ideal form of government; but at the same time, tyranny is not a matter of individuals.

Personal, Local and Society News OF THE STATE CAPITAL By R. L. S., Society Editor Rev. M. Thompson pastor of t he C. M. E. church left Wednesday evening for Bisbee to attend the District Conference. Arrangements have been made to conduct the regular services next Sunday. Everybody is welcome. Popularity Contest June 16th The popularity contest at the A. M. E. church will be held Thursday evening, June 16th. It was erroneously stated that it was to be on last Thursday night. Get ready for the greatest entertainment ever at the A. M. E. church next Thursday night. You can't afford to miss it. The style show given by Mrs. Johnnie Fletcher last Tuesday night at the Second Baptist church proved entirely successful. The house was filled with interested spectators and the models were all that could be expected. It resembled an honest-to-goodness style show and all felt that they received full value for their money. Remodeling Their Home Mr. and Mrs. Wm Glass are remodeling their home in South 6th avenue. All built-in features are being installed also a solar system. When completed, this will be one of the most thoroughly modern homes in the West Side. Mt. Sinai Tent will give a grand concert June 23rd at the Second Baptist church. All clubs and other organizations are hereby requested to keep off this date. At The Churches Sunday services at the Second Baptist church were well attended and the pastor, Dr. Greene delivered two able and inspiring sermons. The services at the C. M. E. church also were good and well attended. Dr. Thompson preached two soul-stirring sermons that electrified his audience. General class was the feature of the morning services at the A. M. E. church and a large crowd was present. In the evening the pastor Dr. Sanford preached a practical sermon from the text: "Lord Give Us Help In Trouble, For Vain Is The Help Of Man." Wednesday morning June 8th, Mr. Chas. Moore of 1122 East Jefferson street breathed his last. Mr. Moore was brought to the city by his daughter, Mrs. L. A. Walker who made the trip to Kansas City for that purpose. For a time he seemed to improve, but experienced a sinking spell from which he never rallied. Mr. Moore was born 62 years ago in Pleasant Hill, Mo., where he grew to manhood. In 1885 he married Miss Francis Carter and two daughters were born to them. The two daughters, Mrs. Geo. Wilson and Mrs. Luada Walker and the wife were with him when the end came. The body was taken in charge by the Merryman Undertaking Co. and funeral arrangements will be announced later through the daily papers. Our sympathy goes out to the family in this their sad hour. Mr. Cleo. M. Roberts returned this week from southern Arizona where he has been the past two weeks on business. Again We Say Patronize Tribune advertisers and you can't go wrong.

Emancipation Celebration The management of the Emancipation Celebration to be held June 20th at the State Fair Grounds, earnestly requests that employers of Colored labor in the city of Phoenix co-operate with them in making this celebration a great success. This can be done by giving your help a full holiday in order that they may enjoy themselves and give their full support to the N. A. A. C. P. There are those who would not ask for a holiday, but lets have an understanding that we will not work on June 20th. By order of W. A. McKenney, President Phoenix Branch, N. A. A. C. P.

Unique Club Activities Members of the Unique Club will stage a popularity contest Wednesday evening June 22nd at the Second Baptist church. Stay off the date and watch for further announcement. Out of Business Mrs. Ada Jones, who several weeks ago purchased an interest in Cap's Place, 15 South 4th street and introduced the 25 cents meals to the laboring men of Phoenix, no longer conducts this establishment. Cap is again in charge and conducting it as heretofore. Mrs. Jones disposed of her interest in the business and is now at home. Williams & Williams, who conduct a home bakery and barbe cue stand at 1013 South 5th avenue, have installed a delivery system and are now ready to take phone orders for home made pies, cakes, bread and barbecued meats and deliver them promptly. If you can't visit their place, just phone 8183 and your order will be delivered by auto. Doing Good Business Mr. Fred Gardiner, who only a few weeks ago opened a grocery store at his home, 918. South 7th avenue is doing a land office business. His trade is not confined to people in the neighborhood o the store, for they come a long distance to get fresh clean groceries at rock-bottom prices. For instance, just think of buying pure cane sugar for 9 cents a pound; full quart of fresh milk for 10 cents and hundreds of bargains similar to the above. Mr. Gardiner says that he has adopted the Live-and-Let-Live policy in the conduct of his business and finds that it pays big dividends. As yet, he has no delivery service but will put on two or more delivery trucks this fall. Get acquainted with the Gardiner service. You are welcome at their store whether you wish to buy or not. K. K. K. in Phoenix At last the K. K. K. is in Phoenix and it has come to stay. Colored people and others are invited to visit their headquarters at 5th street and East Jefferson where an old fashioned home-cooked meal awaits you. The K. K. K. in this instance does not mean the Ku Klux Klan, but it means the Kool Kitchen Kafe, owned and managed by W. B. Hudspeth and Major Jones, two enterprising race men who have employed a Southern lady cook to prepare first class meals for the public. Whenever you see the letters K. K. K., think of the Kool Kitchen Kafe at 5th street and Jefferson and journey thither when hungry. Joint Picnic Real Soon Enjoying Her Vacation A letter received from Mrs. Maggie Thomas of 1637 East Jefferson street, who is now in Pittsburgh, Pa., informs us that she is having the time of her life and enjoying a vacation such as only the rich can afford.

Fletcher and all who assisted her in making the Style Show such a tremendous success. With the wonderful assistance given this club by Mrs. Fletcher in staging this style show, it has gone over the top in grand style. This club is known as High Mark Club No. 2, and is has upheld the name. A banner meeting o the Y. P. S. C. E. was held last Sunday evening at Tanner Chapel A. M. E. church. It was a consecration meeting and the subject for discussion was, "The Kingdom In the World." After an intelligent discussion of the lesson, in which all took part, Mr. Harold Singer, president of the Arizona Christian Endeavor Union, his intermediate superintendent, Miss Alma Atkinson, and the Junior superintendent, Miss Verna Harvey, made interesting talks. Miss Harvey spoke of the work by the Junior Society and its importance, also showed the necessity for such organization in all Christian Endeavor Societies. Miss Atkinson outlined the work of the Intermediate Society, and showed that it was necessary to have a higher class to which Juniors might be advanced. Mr. Singer dealt with the work of the Senior Christian Endeavorers, briefly detailing many good things accomplished by Senior Society since its organization, 40 years ago. He impressed upon the young people the importance of attending the Christian Endeavor; showing where there are many helps one gets in the Christian Endeavor that cannot be obtained in the Sunday school or other auxiliaries of the church. The Rev. T. J. Sanford responded to remarks made by the visitors, assured them that Allen Christian Endeavor was in hearty accord with their views and invited them to visit our society as often as they chose. The Endeavor will meet Sunday evening, 7o'clock at the A. M. E. church when the subject, "Out and Out For Christ," will be discussed. All are invited to attend these meetings. A. R. Smith, president: Constance Hall, secretary. The entertainment given Wednesday evening at the A. M. E. church was a great success. Many attended and purchased articles from the various bootas Miss Cora Smith was in charge of the affair and deserves no small degree of credit for the interest she is manifesting in church work.

When you consider the courage and determination of the woman at home who, with her heart, brain and hand, holds together the threads of the family and weaves them into the pattern of life, frequently in the face of repeated misfortunes, you can gain some slight conception of who and what she really is. She is a spur to ambition, a tireless taskmaster and above all, she is promoter and practicer of thrift and saving.

It is better to stumble up a flight of stairs than to roll down a hill. More and better men—we have more leaders than we can use to advantage. Shakespeare has said, "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." But poor Bill lived before Georgia had a place on the map. Some day, when the world grows older and wiser, there will live a man who will be possessed with the wisdom that will make him an intelligent keeper of his brother, man.

Ss Congressman’ Ed ward J, King of Iilincie. bound to grant in: dependence without further delay, Congressman King is one of an In- creasing number of Republicans in the House who are urging quick action on Philippine independence. ‘Mr, King fs the author of a bill which pro- vides that within one year the Philip- pine government, under presidential proclamation, may assemble a conven- tion and frame a constitution. After the constitution is ratified by the Ffipino people the President may Tecognize the Philippine islands as “a separate and self-governing nation.” The transfer of authority 1s to be completed within one year. Provision is made for safeguarding American in- vestments in the Philippines and for the providing of coaling stations and submarine bases In the islands by the United States. Word from the Philippines is that the people expect early Independence and will be sorely disappointed if they do not get It, “No nation has the right,” sald Con- gressman King “to hold another people in peonage, even though it may be argued by the professoriate that the condition ts simply one of ‘tutelage.’ “A little more observance of the golden rule in national and interna- tional affairs would soon dispel that desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe of freedom in the world today. “When we went to the Philippines - we declared before the whole world that we were not actuated by any self- ish desire of conquest or territorial aggrandizement, but solely by humanl- tarian impulses.” Congressman King called attention to the fact that Filipinos are now raising funds to erect a monument to Admiral Dewey, which he said was In- directly a tribute to the American peo- ple as well as to Dewey. He recalled the cable that Dewéy had sent to President McKinley, which was as follows: “In my opfnion these people (Fill- pinos) are superior in intelligence and more capable of self government than the natives of Cuba, and I am familiar with both.” Congressman King then recited the “preamble to the Jones law, passed August 29, 1916, and declared it was a definite pledge of independence. The preamble stated “it is as it has always been the purpose of the people of the United States to withdraw their sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and to recognize their independence as soon as a stable government can be established therein.” 25 Congressman King stated there was no question but that the Filipinos had established the specified stable gov- ernment and, therefore, it is the solemn duty of the United States to grant the promised independence.
