"WE ORIGINATE --- OTHERS IMITATE" Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes WOMAN SAVED FROM ELECTRIC CHAIR BY ACTION OF N.A.A.C.P. (Special to the Tribune.) New York, June 23.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that largely through the efforts of the New York branch, Mrs. Hattie Dixon, a colored woman had been saved from death in the electric chair and her sentence commuted to life imprisonment. The New York Branch, at the request of Mrs. Dixon's attorneys, became active in May, the woman's death having been set for June 16. A petition was obtained representing 42,000 signers among New York State's citizens, and a delegation was sent to call upon Governor Miller in Albany. The delegation was composed of Clifton G. A. French, Rev. Cullen, Rev. Daniel, Rev. Lawton and John E. Nall. Mrs. Dixon had been convicted of a murder in November, 1917, and on appeals stated their belief that the verdict was the result of a misunderstanding. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that the New York branch received a communication from Mrs. Dixon's attorneys saying that had the branch not intervened when it did the woman would probably not have been saved from the electric chair. This is especially fortunate since it has been a tradition for years in New York State that no women must suffer the death penalty. FIRM OPPOSITION ANGLO-JAPENESE ALLIANCE BY CHINA FIRM OPPOSITION ANGLO-JAPENESE ALLIANCE BY CHINA By The Associated Negro Press Shanghai, June 23.— Organizations representing all provinces, trades and professions agreed to send cable messages to the British parliament, to the United States congress and to the parliaments at Ottawa, Melbourne, Calcutta, Rome and Paris opposing a new Anglo-Japanese alliance. The message to be sent to London says: "The alliance heretofore has weakened Chinese esteem for the British people owing to the aggression of Japan, regarded as having risen from the pact. It renewed, the Chinese feeling will be aggravated, reacting on the friendly feeling toward the British and having a direct influence on trade." The message that goes to Washington reads: "We keenly apprehend a renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, since its conception, it has been fateful to the peace of China and if renewed will have a tendency to aggravate Japanese aggression upon Chinese interests and be a disturbing influence on the peace of the Far East. Pray use your efforts to influence Great Britian to cease strengthening the hands of Japan." 1 2 3 MAN WHO EXPOSED HAITIAN BARBARITY MEETS TRAGIC END By The Associated Negro Press Washington, June 23.—Harris Lipschitz, formerly of New York, and understood to be an American citizen, has been murdered in Haiti, according to advices received last Wednesday at the office of Representative Siegel. Lipschitz was engaged in business on the island, it was said. A complete investigation has been ordered by Major General Lejeune, commandant of the marine corps, in radiograms which also directed that the wife and child of the murdered man be taken care of. Lipschitz had written on conditions in Haiti and had been active in the republic in the bringing of alleged conditions to the attenotin of government authorities here. We can remember the time when the sister of Isadore Raynor, Democratic U. S. Senator from the State of Maryland, was refused accommodations in a Baltimore hotel because she was a JEW. SIX MINISTERS AND 300 BUSINESS MEN CAUGHT IN CRAP GAME By The Associated Negro Press Evanston, Ill., June 23.— Scandalous! A half dozen ministers of Evanston and about 300 business men were caught in a crap game at the North Shore Hotel last Friday night. They were cought by bona fide officers of the law and incidentally, the gamblers are members of the Evanston Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber had just concluded its annual dinner and the initiation of over a 100 new members. The game was in full swing in the lobby when five coppers "pinched the house." Had it not been that the "gamblers" were using stage money there might have been something more to this yarn. No Negroes were in the party. TEXAS WOMAN GIVEN SEVERE JOLT BY JUDGE IN LOS ANGELES COURT TEXAS WOMAN (Special to The Tribune.) Los Angeles, Cal., June 23.—A signal victory was won Wednesday morning when Judge Frederson on the testimony of a number of witnesses dismissed the case of the Brown sisters; Adlane Brown was exonerated an Mabel claimed self defense. It proved a very interesting case and Atty. Ceruti was at his best in cross examining the witnesses; all of the defense witnesses were bright and gave their testimony in a straight forward and intelligent manner and could not be shaken by the different attorneys. Miss Brown and her sister were accused of Assault and Battery on a Mrs. Foster, a white woman, who had just been here three days from Texas; she could not understand why the conductor wouldn't make that colored girl sit somewhere else and then took it upon herself to make her move. She struck the first blow, but Miss Brown's defense blow brought blood. The officer who testified to the woman's condition tried to make it appear that she was pretty badly beaten up but the evidence brought out proved there were only two blows struck. It would have done your heart good when Judge Frederickson called that cracker to the stand and read her the law of this state. "There are states," quoted the judge, "where they have seperate cars and sections for different races, but in California all people are treated alike." He informed her she was guilty of assault by even putting her hand on that girl. At this point Mrs. Foster's lawyer intervened saying she was trying to defend her rights. The case was dismissed. YELLOW JOURNALS CAUSE OF UNREST AMONG BLACKK IN By The Associated Negro Press Paris, June 23.—Travelers arriving at Antwerp report that unrest among American Negroes employed by an American firm in the Belgium Congo is causing disquietude there, according to an Antwerp dispatch to the Havas agency. It is added, however, that the recent armed rebellion is considered virtually at an end. The American Negroes, the travelers say, have been receiving a newspaper which incited them to rebellion, and at the village of Kenshasa they organized a sort of army equipped with rifles and ammunition. JAIL IN KENTUCKY EMPTY FOR FIRST TIME IN YEARS By The Associated Negro Press Maysville, Ky., June 23.—With only one prisoner in jail and his trem within a day of completion, Jailer James Gill appealed to Mayor Russell to remit the remainder of his sentence, so, for the first time in its history, the local bastile could be without a prisoner. The pardon was written and jail doors were thrown open. Later a white man was arrested on a charge of drunkenness, but another pardon was forthcoming and the public was invited to visit an empty jail. No Negroes have been in the jail for several months. · PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1921. RELIGIOUS CRANK REFUSES MILLIONS LEFT BY RELATIVE (By The Associated Negro Press.) Buzzards Bay, Mass. June 23 Charles Garland, who a few months ago refused to accept his $1,250,000 share of his father's estate, has just refused another million, this time from the estate of an uncle. Bare-footed, tanned and happy, Garland is leading the life of a farmer here. "Men become great by following their ideals, not by following the lure of wealth. Money kills idealism, Christ preached this. I am a professing Christian." "A society based on money is the wrong thing," he continued. "All the evils of the world spring from private possession—from the desire of one man to have more than another. The real things—ideals and ideas—cannot be bought and paid for." "If I have something others need I will give it to them. And if they have something I need I'll take it, but not on a money basis. If I want to eat, I'll plant my foodstuffs and build an engine to reap them. Then I am producing what I need and not robbing any one. BLACKS IN KNOXVILLE ARE OPPOSED TO ORGANIZATION OF KLAN By The Associated Negro Press Knoxville, Tenn., June 23. Requests for protection of the Negroes of Knoxville from activities of the proposed Ku Klux Klan to be organized in Knoxville as a subsidiary organization of the national organization of white citizens, was made last Tuesday before the city commission. J. L Carey, a colored teacher in Knoxville College, made a speech and asked that "in view of the splendid relation in Knoxville of the whites and Negroes" that the commission refuse a charter to the proposed organization. Mayor Neal answered the man by stating that he did not know whether the organization would apply for a city charter, but that the commission could not take steps to prevent the issuing of a charter. FLAGSTAFF By Mrs. Estella Wallace The First Baptist church of Flagstaff, of which the Rev. J. B. Bell is pastor, is soon to be remodeled and money is now being raised for that purpose. Among the donors are, Mr J. C. Nolan of the F. L. Lumber Co., who contributed $50; The Babbitt Trading Co., Inc., and the F. L. Lumber Co., also made liberal donations. These favors were gratefully received and we thank these broad-hearted men for their contributions. Mrs. Perscilla Roy of Phoenix who has been in the city only a few weeks was indisposed but is now able to resume her duties. She is delighted with our city and its people. Mrs. Chas, Lewis of Phoenix arrived in the city Saturday evening and will attend the Summer Normal. Her husband accompanied her and returned Sunday morning to the Capital City. Mr. Sylvester Doss of Ashfork spent Saturday in the city. Miss Naomi Tabron of Prescott, who attended the Flagstaff Normal last year, spent the week-end with her parents in Prescott and returned in time for the graduating exercises. Her sister, Miss Helen Vance, principal of the colored school in Mesa, and mother, Mrs. Paris Tabron accompanied her and were present at the graduating exercises, Miss Tabron is the second colored girl to graduate from the Flagstaff Normal. Her sister, Miss Vance, was the other and first to win this honor. Mrs. Fred Polk and Mrs. J. A. Davis spent Sunday in Riadon as guests of Mrs. P. J. Taylor. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Fuller, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Garrison, Mr. and Mrs. S. White and son, Mrs. Mary Davis, Miss Craig, Mrs. Estella Wallace and August Fuller spent Sunday at Cox's Ranch. All had a jolly time. Rev. J. B. Bell left Friday morning for Prescott where he was to hold services Sunday. BLG CELEBRATION AT EAST LAKE PARK BY COLORED PEOPLE Emancipation Day was fittingly observed by the Colored people of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley on Monday June 20, at East Lake Park. Promptly at 11 o'clock the excitement began and from that time on there was something doing every minute. The big free barbecue, of course, was the center of attraction and until all had received their fill, this part of the celebration was by far the most important. After the feast came the ball game between the Western Giants and the 10th Calvary team from Fort Huachuca. The boys played a brilliant game and the spectators were kept on their toes from the first to last innings. Two home runs were credited, one to the Giants and the other to the Soldier team. The giants' first pitcher was knocked out of the box by the soldiers in the first two innings and they gained such a lead on the home boys that it was a struggle to even the score, to say nothing about trying to win. The score was 6 to 2 in favor of the Soldiers up to the fourth inning when the Giants experienced a streak of luck and evened the score. Then the Soldiers took another spurt, ran ahead of the locals and some how managed always to keep our boys just a score or two behind them until the very last inning. The final score was 11 to 10 in favor of the Soldiers. All agree that it was a good game, in spite of the large score, which in itself tells nothing. Private groups of picnickers were scattered all over the park and the play grounds were thronged with children. The National Association under whose auspices the celebration was given, had all kinds of refreshments to sell and were kept busy waiting on the thirsty crowd that had just come out of the ball park. All day there was something doing; either in the form of carnival amusements or other sports. At night a boxing contest was held and all were given a run for their money. A platform was built and dancing engaged the attention of many throughout the evening. Owing to the fact that the principal speaker of the day, Mr. George B. Cruikshank of Tucson, editor of the Tucson Spokesman, was absent, the speaking was dispensed with and other things instituted. The local men who were to appear on the platform with the Hon. Mr. Cruikshank were present and ready to deliver, but the management thought best to call off this part of the program, more as a mark of respect to Mr. Cruikshank than for any other reason. Many were disappointed in not being permitted to hear Emancipation addresses, but such is life in Arizona—Phoenix in particular. Altogether, the Emancipation celebration at the park Monday was a grand affair and much credit is due the management_for the orderly manner in which everything was carried out. Walter A. McKenney, president of the local branch, N. A. A. C. P., was manager of the day and to him and his assistants we say, Nil desperandum. Ex post facto. CASE IS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE By The Associated Negro Press Chicago, Ill. June 23.—Mrs. Mar- Margaret E. Davies Small, 4448 Indiana avenue, hed Charles A. Small arrested for marrying another woman. "We lived together such a short time I'm not sure he's the man," she told Judge Haas. "Funny," he commented. "Case dismissed." Both colored. Don't let conceit blind you to the fact that you are but one and probably a SMALL one. The time is coming when the virtue of a black woman will be as sacred in the mind of an American as the chastity of a white woman. The Salesman—A pretty house slipper? Certainly. Here's something that will please you. We have them on sale today. Eight and a half. The Shopper—Sir! I wear nothing larger than a three. Good day. FARM LANDS HELD BY COLORED FOLKS WORTH OVER $2,239,062,790 By The Associated Negro Press Washington, June 23.—Farms operated by colored men in fourteen southern states, including Delaware and Maryland in 1920, numbered 920, 976, an increase of 40,158 over 1910 or 28.7 per cent of all the farms in the United States, the census bureau announced recently. The total acreage of these farms was 41,346,943 valued at $2,239,062.790.

AMERICAN COMMANDER OF MARINES IN HAITI STOPS PUB. OF NATIVE JOURNALS By The Associated Negro Press New York, June 23.—Charges that Col. John H. Russell, commanding the American marines in Haiti, had imprisoned two native editors and forbidden Haitian newspapers to publish American comment on the recent Haitian memorial congress, were published last week. The charges quote an order by Col. Russel forbidding publication of articles tending to incite feeling against the American troops and threatening offenders with military trial. The two editors are named Jolibois and Lanoue. A third editor, says the statement, is sought by American troops. DOUGLAS By Norma King The Douglas branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met this week with Mr. D. C. Fatillo, the president, in the chair. A splendid meeting was held and all were pleased. Rev. S. E. Newell spoke last Sunday night at Mt. Olive Baptist church to a large and appreciative audience. After the speaking refreshments were served and all had a delightful time. Miss M. Murphy's birthday came on the 19th of June and she was highly entertained by Mrs. Deliah L. Pierce of 754 Seventh street with a five course birthday dinner. A telephone call brought her to Mrs. Pierce's residence and to her surprise there was the table decorated in colors and laden with a sumptuous feast. The big birthday cake was a delight and the center of attraction. Miss Estell Hudson and Mrs. General Jackson were among the invited guests. After dinner Miss Murphy said: "Surprise me again." Norman King and friends of Douglas hereby offer an apology to all who were disappointed at the picnic grounds at Hereford. Soldiers from Naco and Hauchuca were there but none from Douglas. We are indeed sorry to have disappointed you. Jack Hayes an family motored out to a nice quiet spot Sunday and held a little picnic. They reported a nice time. Norman King entertained last week in honor of his sister, Mrs. Mabel Bavens of Hutchinson, Kans., who is here for a short visit. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with pink carnations and other flowers. Covers were laid for Mrs. Bavens, Mr. and Mrs. D. Roberts, Mr. Richard Garrison, Mr. Sam Weatherly, Mr. Andrew King, Mr. William King and the host. This was the first opportunity the King brothers and sisters had to meet in eleven years. It was a real family reunion and all hdh a delightful time. AGED WOMAN IS HELD ON CHARGE OF AIDING IN JAIL DELIVERY By The Associated Negro Press Jacksonville, Fla., June 23.—Irene Hunter, a 55-year-old colored woman of Myrtle avenue and State street, is held in the county jail accused of having provided hack saws that enabled thirteen prisoners to escape from the jail last Thursday morning. The woman was placed under arrest by John A. Miller, jailer of the Duval county jail. The woman is the mother of Nelson Thomas, one of the men who escaped. It is alleged that the woman carried a plate of corn bread to her son, and that several hack saws were in the bread. The woman denies the allegation. Four of the thirteen Negroes have been captured and Sheriff Dowling is offering rewards of $25 for information that will lead to the arrest of any of those who are still at large. EYE WITNESS TELLS ABOUT HORRORS OF OF FLOOD IN PUEBLO Following is an excerpt from a letter received from Rev. R. H. Herring of Pueblo, Colo., giving an account of the recent flood: "We are both safe and sound. Would have wired you but there is such a rush over the wires till such a message does not beat the malls very much. "Yes, we had one of the old time floods you read about but seldom witness. The water in some places in the lowlands reached a debt of 12 to 15 feet. It wrecked every store more or less, for seven or eight blocks. In many cases there is nothing left except the place where the store once stood. "We are about one-half mile from the levee and the water rose to about five feet in our house and about 3 or 4 feet in the church. A rescue squad brought a boat to the church and my wife and I got aboard. It was about 10 o'clock at night when we were taken in the boat to safety. During the early part of the night our house and the church were a station and many came there for refuge. Directly across the street from us, two ladies were drowned. The boat in which they were riding capsized in water 6 or seven feet deep. Two people right around the corner from us were drowned and we learn that four members of our church were drowned. It is impossible to learn just how many colored people lost their lives in the flood and we may never know. "I don't think they will ever find all the people that were drowned. The lowest estimate of the number drowned is placed at 500. I think that is a very conservative figure. "There was absolutely no need of so many of our people being lost for they had ample warning. The storm commenced about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and raged until 2 o'clock in the morning. There were three cloud bursts during the storm, levees broke, resevoirs overflowed and the city of Pueblo was inundated." ARSON IN GEORGIA CONTINUES UNABATED By The Associated Negro Press Autreyville, Ga., June 23.—A Negro church was burned here last Thursday by alleged members of the mob which the night before had burned the homes of several colored people, and lodge and church buildings. Several colored people were whipped by the mob and one was shot when he fired a shotgun. The mob rule results from the murder early this week of Lorena Wilkes, a 12-year-old white girl. John Henry Williams, colored, was arrested and narrowly escaped a crowd of se- veral hundred men. TWO MEN HELD FOR ALLEGED ATTACK ON GIRL Richmond, Va., June 23.—Two white men are under arrest here for an alleged attack on a colored girl last Monday night, which at one time threatened to result in a race riot. Crowds of angry Negroes were dispersed when more than a third of the city police force was called, re-enforced by several plain-clothes men and civilians. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year BLACKS OF CHICAGO ENGAGED IN ALL KINDS OF BUSINESS BLACKS OF CHICAGO— (By The Associated Negro Press.)

MARCUS GARVEY MAY LOAN $5,000,000 TO BLACK REPUBLIC MARCUS GARVEY MAY LOAN $5,000,000 TO BLACK REPUBLIC By The Associated Negro Press New York City, June 23.—Marcus Garvey is the head of the Negro Independent association, which owns the Black Star Line, and the hope of which is to make Africa solidly black one of these days. He preached that hope to his followers. The N. I. A. has branches in the West India Islands and in Panama and Cuba and the likes and is said to have a membership of 4,000,000 Negroes, each of whom is said to pay a cent a day. That is $40,000 daily, not to speak of the bond-selling privileges, and it may be that Marcus Garvey really could loan the Republic of Liberia the $5,000,000—or at a pinch, $3,000,000—of which it stands in need. The United States, however, will probably loan the Republic of Liberia $5,000,000. Because if Uncle Sam does not accommodate Liberia to this extent John Bull will. Or if John Bull remains obdurate, which is not all likely. Marcus Garvey will be induced. The story is one of international relationships. African west coast affairs, the oil business and the race problem. One might, perhaps, best take it jauntily. President King of Liberia is in the country, accompanied by R. K. Morris—familiarly known in Liberia as "Up the River Morris"—who is the state treasurer, and Mayor Johnson of Monrovia, which is the capital of Liberia. Mr. Johnson is worthy of a moment's attention because he is the grand potentate of the African empire, and in that capacity wears a red wrapper and a starry crown when he goes on parade, which he has and does. Otherwise he only appears as one of those interested. JEALOUS HUSBAND SHOOTS MAN ABOUT HIS WIFE By The Associated Negro Press Chicago, Ill, June 23.—Icalous of his white wife's aparent preference for a white man, Ray Barton, colored, early last Thursday shot Michael Webb, 308 West 42nd, street, in the arm, after warning him to stay away. Webb is a brother to Robert (Teddy) Webb, now serving time in Joliet for killing Policeman Hart Sticken several months ago. Detectives who were near by, arrested both men, as well as the man's wife, who is being held as a witness. Barton's conditions is not serious.

YELLOW JOURNALS Every time we are forced to attack the paper makers, our thoughts revert to the man who did was wont to throw stones at his neighbor of him and his house when his neighborless, we are constrained to say a word. The papers feature crime, run sensational pages, and otherwise appeal to the radical best opinion that such papers do more harm of carrying out the mission of a good news crises to a minimum by publishing their appeal to the sober judgement of the their reasoning faculties, they do just the same to the animal passion in them and lead to worse crimes. When newspaper, when properly managed, is of truth and justice. People are ready to print. If it be bad they believe it must something that was not bad. It is then the newspaper that desires to do the matter, that it feature only such stories as we elevate and enlighten their readers. Do not object to the publication of crimes, subject to the manner in which some papers their readers this kind of news. It takes all a real newspaper, but don't you think it is the bad and feature the good? A recent meeting of newspaper men held of a big paper published in that city was asked as news. He replied: "Anything that This man's idea of news, according to ours become far too popular with many newher must make money if he hopes to start business, but money is not, nor should it be. If the publisher get rich by running and the public is benefited, only to the desire for such news, then we believe the interests of the people should be the if by championing their cause and giving dispassionate way the publisher succeeds, a success indeed. In order that any good, both parties must be mutually beneficial holds and is applicable to the newspaper. Every time we are forced to attack the policy of certain newspapers, our thoughts revert to the man who lived in a glass house and was wont to throw stones at his neighbors. All know the fate of him and his house when his neighbors retaliated. Nevertheless, we are constrained to say a word about yellow journals. Some papers feature crime, run sensational stories on their front pages, and otherwise appeal to the radical element. It is our honest opinion that such papers do more harm than good. Instead of carrying out the mission of a good newspaper, which is to reduce crimes to a minimum by publishing them in a manner that will appeal to the sober judgement of their readers and arouse their reasoning faculties, they do just the opposite. They appeal to the animal passion in them and lead them to commit similar or worse crimes. The newspaper, when properly managed, is a powerful exponent of truth and justice. People are ready to believe what they see in print. If it be bad they believe it more readily than they would something that was not bad. It is therefore incumbent upon the newspaper that desires to do the most good to all the people, that it feature only such stories as will have a tendency to elevate and enlighten their readers. We do not object to the publication of crimes, but we strenuously object to the manner in which some papers have of placing before their readers this kind of news. It takes all kinds of news to make a real newspaper, but don't you think it a good idea to minimize the bad and feature the good? At a recent meeting of newspaper men held in Chicago, the manager of a big paper published in that city was asked what he considered as news. He replied: "Anything that will sell the paper." This man's idea of news, according to our conservative view, has become far too popular with many newspapers. True, a publisher must make money if he hopes to stay in the newspaper business, but money is not, nor should it be the only consideration. If the publisher get rich by running sensational headlines and the public is benefited, only to the extent of satisfying the desire for such news, then we believe that paper is a failure. The interests of the people should be the first consideration and if by championing their cause and giving them news in a sane, dispassionate way the publisher succeeds, then we term such paper success indeed. In order that any business transaction be good, both parties must be mutually benefited. The same principle holds and is applicable to the newspaper profession. BETTER TIMES AHEAD they is not as tight now as it was a few m of is general among far-sighted business men coming. Lack of confidence helped to a oppression and as confidence is gradually assured. The country has not gone to national condition is not nearly as bad as so love. We know there are a few people who was promptly, but this is due mainly to the pay will not pay. If every one who can, emply, what a difference it would make. Money is not as tight now as it was a few months ago and the belief is general among far-sighted business men that better times are coming. Lack of confidence helped to bring on a period of depression and as confidence is gradually restored, better times are assured. The country has not gone to the dogs and our financial condition is not nearly as bad as some would have us believe. We know there are a few people who cannot pay their bills promptly, but this is due mainly to the fact that those who can pay will not pay. If every one who can, would pay his bills promptly, what a difference it would make. You would be surprised to know the amount of money that is held every month for no other reason than the fact that the other fellow does not pay. How often you hear this remark: "Just as soon as I collect this or that bill I'll settle my account with you." Many times the person who speaks in this manner, has the money with which to settle his accounts but is determined to make the other fellow pay first. Presently, we shall return to normalcy and the whole country will benefit thereby. We are afraid of one another and have but little confidence in ourselves. Until this condition is changed, we may expect critical times. But just as soon as we make up our minds to trust ourselves and our neighbors, good times will return. As the thermomoter rises the managing editor of the Tribune gets just a little more "pep" and when it reaches the top, he's at his best. The Tribune was born in mid-summer and thrives on heat. While other papers are wondering what to do next in order to hold their subscribers during the summer months our subscription grows at the rate of 15 new subscribers every day. Du Bois and Garvey are contesting for honors. Garvey is a young man and for that reason Du Bois is opposing him. Remember Mr. Du Bois, 'tis said that: "Youth must be served." May the best man win. A tip to politicians. The time to prepare for next year's election is NOW. In time of peace prepare for war. When times are good be pessimistic and when times are bad, be optimistic. Thousands of colored people are leaving Tulsa and say they never want to see the place again. Hundreds who were once rich have been made paupers and will now have to start all over again. Several of our exchanges have failed to reach us the last two weeks. We wonder if they are taking a vacation. Mighty nice if you can afford it. A newspaper without a policy is like a ship without a rudder. The Tribune has a policy and adheres strictly to it. Six colored men were candidates for office at the recent municipal election in Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Harding remains silent. Perhaps he is thinking.

OFFICIAL RECEIPTS FURNISHED ALL WORKERS Address Roughhouse Ware, too much for Champion Jack Dempsey, will try to beat the colored heavy-weight champion, Lee Anderson, in a championship bout to be staged here under the auspices of the Arizona Athletic club, July 4. Matchmaker Harrison Williams Wednesday signed Ware for the big Independence day card and telegraphed two tickets to New York Ware an his trainer left Wednesday night for Phoenix and will reach here Sunday night or Monday morning, it is expected. Ware, it will be remembered, is the boy whom Manager Jack Kearns ejected from Dempsey's training camp about ten days ago because "he was too rough." Ware had cut a deep gash over Dempsey's left eye in a head-on collision and had otherwise "mussed up" the champion with his roughhouse tactics. So Kearns put the ban on Ware, told him to pack up his little grip and make his exit without undue delay. The big eastern boy has the reputation of being one of the toughest, roughest battlers that ever pulled on a padded mitt. His work against Dempsey is proof of his ability to "take 'em" and deliver a few himself. He is the only man that has ever trained in the Dempsey camp who has given better than he received. Of course Manager Kearns claims that Ware used his head, elbows and knees to finish first best with Dempsey. Be that as it may, local fans can count on a real engagement when he gets into the ring with Champion Lee Anderson a week from Monday night. Held Langford Even Ware fights at about 185, is a fraction of an inch under six feet tall, and is a real hitter, judging from his record. He is one of the few men that ever held Sam Langford to even terms when the big dusky boy was at his best. Ware is credited with two draws with Langford and in the second meeting floored the Boston tar baby. Anderson proved to Phoenix fans that he is some rough battler himself when occasion demands in his meeting with Kid Norfolk a few weeks ago. Norfolk started butting tactics on Anderson when he found the going a little rough. Anderson also proved a adept at that style of milling, in fact, he beat the New Yorker at his own game. So Ware had better be on the watch when he starts to rough it with the title holder. Andy is as clean a fighter as can be found anywhere providing his opponent shows any inclination to do combat in full accord with the prize ring rules, but let said opponent get rough and Anderson immediately becomes a demon. The Ware-Anderson championship go will be the main event of a fight card that Matchmaker Williams hopes to make the best ever held in Arizona. Solider Jack Lynch and Bill Alger have been matched for a six-round special event and judging from the showing of these boys against a common foe, it will be a match well worth going miles to see. Jock Taylor, colored light heavyweight will also be matched against some suitable opponent in an eight round semi-final, Matchmaker Williams said last night. At least two other events will be included on the fight card, the announcement said. Mr. Batch—I don't see why a man should get married when a good parrot can be bought for $15.

"Tomorrow," said the languid man, "I'll have my Time insured, I guess; I know it is the safest plan to save my children from distress." And when the morrow came around, they placed him gently in a box; at break of morning he was found as dead as Julius Caesar's ox. His widow now is scrubbing floors, and washing shirts and splitting wood, and doing fifty other chores that she may rear his wailing brood. "Tomorrow," said the careless jay, "I'll take an hour, and make my will; and then if I should pass away, the wife and kids will know no ill." The morrow came, serene and nice, the weather mild, with signs of rain; the careless jay was placed on ice, embalming fluid in his brain. Alas, alas, poor careless jay! The lawyers got his pile of cash; his wife is toiling night and day to keep the kids in clothes and hash. "Tomorrow" is the ambushed walk avoided by the circumspect. "Tomorrow" is the fatal rock on which a million ships are wrecked. —Walt Mason. We pay $20 weekly Sickness and Accident benefits and $5,000 Death benefit.
