"WE ORIGINATE --- OTHERS IMITATE" Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes EXPERT PREDICTS SMALLEST CROP OF COTTON THIS YEAR EXPERT PREDICTS SMALLEST CROP OF COTTON THIS YEAR (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, July 14.—Cotton production this year promises to be the smallest crop of the last quarter of a century, a recent forecast by the department of agriculture placing it at 8,433,000 bales, or nearly five million bales smaller than last year's crop and nearly eight million bales below the record of 1914. This year's acreage is 28.4 per cent smaller than last year's. The acreage this year is the smallest since 1900 and never before, the department of agriculture said, has there been so great a change from one year to another in acreage as there has been from last year to this year. The condition of the growing has not in 20 years been so low on June 25 as it was this year. All sections of the cotton belt have been affected. It is due, according to government experts, to an adversely late, wet spring and to the presence of the boll weevil in large numbers. Owing to the unfavorable conditions of April and May and to other discouraging factors, shortage of fertilizer and unsatisfactory price, abandonment of planted cotton acreage has been greater than usual east of the Mississippi river, ranging from 5 per cent in North Carolina and Mississippi to as high as 10 per cent in Georgia. West of the Mississippi abandonment has been slight. The condition of the crop on May 25 this year was 66 per cent of a normal. The production last year was 13,365.754, equivalent 500-pound bales; the revised area in cultivation a year ago, was 37,043,000 acres and the condition of the crop June 25 last year was 70.77 per cent of a normal. In 1919 the crop was 11,420,763 equivalent 500-pound bales. JURY OUT 25 MINUTES IN ASSAULT CASE IN ATLANTIC CITY N. J. (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlantic City, N.

JACK DEMPSEY "WILL NEVER FIGHT COLORED MAN" SAYS HON. JACK DEMPSEY WILL NEVER FIGHT— (By The Associated Negro Press) Omaha, Neb., July 14.—"I will never fight a colored man," said Champion Jack Dempsey, during a short stopover here today on his way to Salt Lake City to visit his parents. "There is nothing to this talk of me meeting Jack Johnson. I am confident the public don't want this fight, and while I will govern myself to a large extent according to the public wishes, I can't see my way clear to fight Johnson or any other colored man." Continuing about prospects for his next bout, Dempsey went on: "I will meet any one that Kearns picks for me. Gibbons, I understand, is a good man, although I have never seen him work. As I have drawn the color line, I am free to say that I think Harry Wills is a great fighter, one who will whip the very best of them. You know as much about Johnson as I do. As for Willard, I'll fight him any time—and lick him, too."

CORNER'S JURY SHOWS RARE JUDGEMENT IN MYSTERY MURDER CASE (By The Associated Negro Press) Alexandria, La., July 1b.—George Lewis, who resided in the Hinston community, was assassinated last Sunday night, at about 9:30 o'clock, while out in his field destroying ants, which were depredating on his crop. He was fired upon by some unidentified person with a load of buckshot. The charge took effect in his left shoulder and the left side of his head, killing him instantly. The reason for the murder is shrouded in mystery as the dead man had only been a resident of the community for a few months. He conducted a small store, and no one in the section knew anything of his past history. Acting Coroner Ralph Kilpatrick held an inquest over the body and a verdict was rendered by the jury to the effect that he came to his death from gunshot wounds at the hands of unknown Negroes. If we spent as much time preparing for life as we do getting ready for Heaven, we might stand a better chance of slipping into Heaven. We san now go back to the job of making the country safe for the Negro.

NEW YORK IS NOW MORE WICKED THAN CHICAGO SAY ZIONISTS (By The Associated Negro Press) Zich, Ill., July 14.—New York is a very wicked city, much worse than Chicago, according to the report of two Zion deaconesses, five months having been spent by them in the Metropolis. "All they think of is pleasure, money, movies and dancing," the two, Miss Schelhorn and Miss Buthmann reported. "They are dancing all the time; church members too. They all dance." We learn that Mr. Du Bois will not charter one of Mr. Garvey's steamers in which to make the trip to the Pan African Congress. There is some small difference between a "tin soldier" and a "tin statesman." A "tin soldier" carries a tin sword and a "tin statesman" totes a tin brain. SEN. DAVID WALSH URGES DEMOCRATS TO GET TOGETHER (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Julp 14.—United States Senator David I. Walsh of Mass., told the Tammany society in its Fourteenth street headquarters on the Fourth of July the fortunes of the Democratic party have seldom been at such a low ebb as they appear today. He said it was time for plain speaking and demanded that democratrs face facts. Senator Walsh spoke at the Tammany Independence Day celebration. The vote in November was the answer to an acceptance of a campaign in which foreign issues rose above domestic issues. The result, declared the Massachusetts senator, was staggering defeat. "Now we stand rejected at home and abroad," he added, "in the most lamentable of all predicaments, that of the political party inherently possessed with high principles, but hearing the penalty for having forsaken them." Refusing to accept the explanation of many democrats, that defeat was the result of a narrow, selfish, un-American decision, Senator Walsh insisted that if democrats adopted a new program, the position of the party was not altogether hopeless.

MINISTER SPEAKS OF JACK DEMPSEY IN SUNDAY SERMON (By The Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., July 14.-Discussing the Dempsey-Carpentier bout in his morning sermon, last Sunday, Rev. Riddick Laughton, pastor of the fashional Laurel Street Methodist church, and himself a veteran of the world war, suggested that Dempsey might atone in a measure at least for his alleged slackerism of war days by turning over the $300,000 which he made in 12 minutes to a fund for the relief work of disabled soldiers. Mr. Laughton denounced both fighters as "human brutes referring to Dempsey as a "half yellow American" and to Carpentier as a "ruffian," whose redeeming feature was his war record. He deplored the attendance of 5000 women at the bout, whose presence "countenanced the degrading spectacle," and indicated the decay of our national ideals.

J. Burke, attorney for the Legal Aid Society. "My husband hasn't worked for months," she said, "but just wastes his time.

WOMAN'S ASSAILANT HUNTED BY POSSE IN LOUISANA SWAMPS McNary, La., July 14—An unsuccessful attempt was made last Sunday by officials with bloodhounds to trail a man who attempted to criminally assault Mrs. Mason, wife of a well-known resident of McNary. Mrs. Mason was at home with her children during the absence of her husband when the intruder entered the room and seized her. She fought him vigorously and during the scuffle was choked severely and bitten on the thumb. Her screams frightened the man away and the alarm was given. As soon as Deputy Vance could procure dogs he went to McNary, where they took the trail and followed it to Glenmora and into the woods a quarter of a mile from there, where it was lost.

M. Ozaki, whose achievements have made him the foremost Japanese liberal added: "I should like to convey this message to the people of the United States. If the American government proposed an international conference to discuss restriction of armaments it will surely be the beginning of a solution of all the diplomatic questions between Japan and the United States. If we are unable to prevent the clearly unnecessary wasteful naval competition, how can we expect to solve other irritable and more complicated questions between our countries? The latter easily will adjust thimeselves when the former has been settled." M. Ozaki explained he spoke in almost all the important cities and towns from Kyushu, in the farthest south, to Hokkaido, in the farthest north, addressing 100,000 persons at 100 meetings, at which postcards were distributed so his hearers could vote freely on disarmament. The final result on the returns from these cards, Ozaki asserted, showed that 94 per cent favored limitation. N. A. T. C.

Riv- of all these miniature civil war year to year is the breakdown o process of law to the Negro. that this government could be. It cannot endure with one law for the black man. There til there is one law for both ion is living under the shade York World. The American Negro is no longer "docile and easily lynched," as Mr. Dooley once described him. He is asserting his right to live under the white man's law and have the privileges and immunities and guarantees of that law. So long as he is denied that right in whole or in part the way is open to the reteition of such tragedies as that which cost so many lives and destroyed $1,500,000 in property at Tulsa, Okla. The civil war that took place in that city between whites and blacks had its origin in lynch law. A Negro had attacked a white girl in the elevator of a department store and was arrested. Immediately the rumor spread that he was to be lynched. Negroes with arms went to the jail to protect him. White men with arms followed them. The police did nothing. Then a white man tried to seize a gun from a Negro and what they took place is described for the World's readers by Richard Lloyd Jones, publisher of the Tulsa Tribune: "The blacks were reinforced by other blacks. The whites hurried for arms. The city was in darkness. Stores having firearms in stock were smashed into. The blacks and the whites in growling groups began to parade the street. Two hours before midnight the battle began." Government ceased for the time being to exist and the streets of Tulsa ran with blood. But in vast sections of the country government has a habit of ceasing to exist where the legal rights of the Negro are concerned. Had the offense in question been committed by a white man the law would presumably taken its course. Although white men are sometimes lynched when accused of crime, the general presumption is that they will not be. Although black men are often not lynched when accused of crime, the general presumption in many parts of the United States is that they are likely to be. Out of that presumption came Tulsa's race war. A great change has come over the American Negro's attitude toward the white man's government during the last four years—a change for which the war was largely responsible. The Negro was conscripted like any other citizen. He was put into a uniform, given a rifle and sent to France to fight for his country. He was good enough to die for the flag, and naturally he refuses longer to believe that he is not entitled to privileges and immunities for which the flag stands. He is no longer submissive but aggressive, and while this change has its grave dangers to the Negro himself, it is an inevitable consequence of the failure of local and state governments to administer evenhanded justice. It is the fashion to attribute most of the recent race riots to economic rivalry between whites and blacks, but economic rivalry is no new thing. For more than fifty years there has been an irrepressible conflict between the blacks and the so-called "poor whites", and this conflict is bound to go on as long as the two races compete for their daily bread. Rivalry, however, is not riot, and back of all these miniature civil wars which disgrace the nation from year to year is the breakdown of government and the denial of due process of law to the Negro. Lincoln said that this government could not endure half slave and half free. It cannot endure with one law for the white man and another law for the black man. There must be one law for both, and until there is one law for both every community of mixed population is living under the shadow of threatened anarchy.—New York World. FIGHT IT OUT HERE ed with the United States. I am going to Mexico or South color counts. I have spent soons there. I can see no hope for As our people advance in edu conditions become worse inste was a young man of good edu of men America needs and the United States and fight i one it were hardly necessary to "I'm disgusted with the United States. Just as soon as I can arrange it, I am going to Mexico or South America, where manhood and not color counts. I have spent some time in Mexico and know conditions there. I can see no hope for our race in the United States. As our people advance in education, refinement and wealth here conditions become worse instead of better." The speaker was a young man of good education and character, just the kind of men America needs and our race needs to remain here in the United States and fight it out. Were his case an isolated one, it were hardly necessary to speak of it, but this young man is but one of many who are becoming disgusted or perhaps it were better to say disheartened over the attitude of this country towards our people and are looking towards the Latin countries as a haven. We admit that race prejudice is increasing and that it's mighty galling to young men of spirit and to older men of cooler blood to be constantly encountering it, but that is no excuse for running away from it. There is the greater reason for standing one's ground, screwing up one's courage and by strength of character, virile manhood and proven sterling worth fight and conquer it. God had a purpose in bringing our ancestors to this land and in giving them and us such a large share in its development. It is therefore here that we are to work out our destiny. We urge our young men not to become discouraged and seek other lands but to fight it out here and help save the United States. CHAMPION JACK DEMPSEY By William Pickens Dempsey is a clever and a toto to be the equal of the Jack Johnson hard a knot for the fine Frenchman with Carpentier, we feared for him. It is about time this Dempsey thing real for a fight, and HARL believe that prize boxing is in combats and Spanish bull fights, to be run according to the rules, be allowed to call himself the charer, unless he is willing to box, or human being, of any color and far earth, from the South Sea Island there are those among us, white Jack Dempsey as the champion or two of the best black men who man Jack Johnson, just coming a better fight than any of the w champion. And while we always have no fear whatever for Harry want to spend millions of dollars do they not demand the most "champion" take on a challenger 10 minutes or so for their fifty o The only reason why we sy from his apparently superior pro that if he should take the champion would compel him to defend his qualified boxers and not into wh could not have held the title, had Art and sport at least oug American color-phobia. We will churches, and separate heavens it comes to the participation of a Artists and Sportsmen ought Christians. Dempsey is a clever and a tough boxer, but he does not seem to be the equal of the Jack Johnson of ten years ago. He was too hard a knot for the fine Frenchman, and although we sympathize with Carpentier, we feared for him. It is about time this Dempsey was running up against something real for a fight, and HARRY WILLS is our nominee. We believe that prize boxing is in a class with Roman gladitorial combats and Spanish bull fights, but if we have them, they ought to be run according to the rules of reason. A man ought not to be allowed to call himself the champion boxer, or runner or jumper, unless he is willing to box, or run or jump, with any other human being, of any color and from any quarter of the little old earth, from the South Sea Islands or from Baluba-land. And there are those among us, white and black, who will not regard Jack Dempsey as the champion boxer until he has whipped one or two of the best black men who are itching for him. Even old man Jack Johnson, just coming out of jail, would give Dempsey a better fight than any of the white boxers have yet given the champion. And while we always feared for Carpentier, we would have no fear whatever for Harry Wills. If the American people want to spend millions of dollars for fistic entertainment, why do they not demand the most for their money and make this "champion" take on a challenger who can give them more than 10 minutes or so for their fifty dollars entrance fee? The only reason why we sympathize with Carpentier, aside from his apparently superior personal character, was the fact that if he should take the championship to France, Frenchmen would compel him to defend his title by shoving his fist into any qualified boxers and not into white faces merely. Jack Johnson could not have held the title, had he refused to fight white men. Art and sport at least ought to rise above our provincial American color-phobia. We will have separate sermons, separate churches, and separate heavens if we can get them,—but when it comes to the participation of a Charles Gilpin or a Harry Wills, Artists and Sportsmen ought to show themslves superior to Christians. FORD RAISES WAGES ON D. T. & I. RAILROAD AND MAKES IT PAY This Henry Ford person is a pestiferous nuisance to those engaged in milking the railroads and treasury of the United States, and his latest exploit is the worst of all, to hear them tell it. Henry bought the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton about a year ago and when he took it over the road was "losing" $200,000 a month, which Henry has changed to a profit even though receipts fell off $100,000 per month. The road has nearly four hundred miles of track, employs several hundred workers and after July 1 the lowest paid employee will receive not less than $6. per day of eight hours. That is the thing that makes managers of other roads see red and cuss Henry all over the lot. Here they have been howling for years about the profiteering, overpaid railroad employee and demanding that his wages be cut so that they many show a profit when along comes Ford and in less than a year takes a losing road, does less business during the hard times than was done on the road during good times, makes a profit on that reduced business, and raises wages just as the Labor Board cuts them on other roads. How does he do it? Just by refraining from the practices of those in control of other roads. Ford owns the D. T. & I. He is not a hired man put in charge of the road by financiers who own concerns that sell rails, steel, engines, cars and other supplies to the roads, neither does he fake expenses nor resort to "bookeeping" to hide profits. He's just a plain, ordinary citizen who conducts business on the basis of decency and good judgment. He was not raised in—or developed out of—conditions that made lying, deceitfulness, willingness to accept a bribe and general disregard for law and decency, the requisites for promotion, out of which conditions have come the ordinary railroad president and manager of railroad. Never has he been compelled to admit bribery, false testimony and skullduggery before the Interstate Commerce Commission acting as investigators into discriminations and illegal and unlawful practices of railroad managements, during which investigations testimony covering thousands of pages, and filling over eighty volumes, was taken—any volume of which bears mute but startling evidence of the conditions referred to. All unnecessary Sunday work on the D. T. & I. is to be cut out after July 1, and the employees in train and other service are to have Sunday off wherever possible, thus giving railroad workers a right enjoyed by the majority and one long desired by those engaged in that employment. That, also, is another advance which is com- THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING In Pickens though boxer, but he does not seem mon of ten years ago. He was too man, and although we sympathize him.

Wage cutting has never been popular with Henry Ford. Recently he stated that he intended to continuously lower the cost of his product to the public and increase the wages of workers, declaring that to be his conception of his obligation as trustee of a great manufacturing plant. A short time ago, the big financiers sought Ford's scalp and failed to get it and this taking a practically bankrupt road, making it pay despite lessened business and then to raise wages just when they are claiming loss and the need of lowering wages—is the cause of great indignation among the spoilers of the people.

Everybody come—praying The mule knows when it's mealtime and advertises—Hce Haw-w-w—Ex. A. M. E. Church Church of God Something to Think About THE JOB AND THE MAN By F. A. Walker TELLING IS SELLING IN THESE days of time-saving devices, money-saving inventions and effort-saving ideas the thinking man finds much to interest him when he hears another thinking man compress a big thought into the fewest possible words. The literary man has a name for these examples of condensed wisdom. He calls them "epigrams." "Epigram" is an interesting word. You can spend a useful fifteen minutes studying out in some good dictionary just what it meant in the original Greek and how it came to have an entirely different meaning in English. One of the most condensed and meaningful phrases I have ever seen written or heard spoken was used by a great editorial writer who boiled down a whole sermon into three words when he said "Repetition is reputation." That is sound, unassailable truth in the fewest possible words. Alongside that condensation of wisdom I have filed away in my memory the three-word statement that I heard an advertising solicitor use the other day in convincing a prospective buyer of publicity that advertising would be the best possible investment that he could make. These were the three words he used: "Telling is selling." That comes pretty near reducing the statement of what advertising is to the fewest possible words and stating it in the simplest possible way. To a greater or less degree every human being is an advertiser. The man or woman who dresses well advertises prosperity. The man or woman who uses the proper words in the proper places and shows a broad acquaintance with facts advertises education. The man with the light step, quick movement, unceasing activity, advertises energy, probably ambition. You say "I am a good judge of human nature." That is only another way of stating that you are an accurate reader of the personal advertising of individuals. * * * Every day we unconsciously "tell" ourselves—advertise ourselves—by our actions, by our habits, by our conversation. Everyday we unknowingly succeed in or fail in "selling" ourselves. true that "Overtelling is underselling." Nobody ever permanently gained anything by wandering from the truth. Reasting is only a polite name for lying. Any buyer of men or merchandise would rather be surprised by finding his purchase better than he thought it was than to discover that it failed to come up to what he had a reasonable right to expect. If you have occasion to talk about yourself tell just what you are. If you find it necessary to sell yourself do not bargain for more than you can deliver. "Telling is selling," but the telling must be the truth and the selling must be on the basis of turning over just what you have agreed to—of having the goods test 100 per cent of what they were represented to be. THE GIRL ON THE JOB How to Succeed—How to Get Ahead—How to Make Good By JESSIE ROBERTS THE RENT COLLECTOR RENT collecting is a branch of the real estate work that appeals to many young women who are interested in housing problems, and several such have entered it from settlement work. The landlords find that women make better rent collectors than men, that they get closer to the tenants, and that they promote a better under- standing between the parties to the renting business. Rent collecting is not a mere turning up at the first of the month with the demand for the rent. It is to the interest of the landlord that the houses he owns properly run and kept up, that undesirable tenants be ejected, and that the right kind get right treatment. Women are good at getting results in these directions. It is usually the woman of the apartment who pays the rent; it is she who has complaints to make or alterations to demand. And she speaks more freely to another woman, and the other woman understands better the usual problems of housekeeping. It works well both ways. A rent collector is in a position to know more than most persons about vacant apartments, various types of renters, possibilities of development, bargains. There are really fine business opportunities in this line, and women should study them. After all, it is women who live in the home and who manage the home. When it comes to homes, women make the better agents and better rent collectors, and women are entering the new field with enthusiasm. (Copyright.)

Off to California Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Williams left Saturday evening for California where they will make their permanent home. They had been residents of Phoenix for the past eight years and made a host of friends who were sad to see them go. However they are consoled by the fact that Arizona's loss is California's gain. Graduates with Honors Rev. T. J. Sanford of this city received a letter from his baby sister, Miss Grace Fredericks of Des Moines, Iowa, stating that she had received her A.

Jackson, their son and daughter, are recent arrivals from Kokomo, Ind., and are staying at the Rice apartments, 438 East Jefferson. Mr. Jackson is a finished carpenter and bricklayer and plans to engage in business here. Business League Assured A notice appearing in these columns last week to the effect that a business league was soon to be organized, has been teh cause of favorable comment by many of the leading business men of the city. The promoters plan to call the meeting real soon, announcement of which will appear in these columns as well as in both of the daily papers. Watch for announcement of the place and date and get ready to attend. Family Will Arrive Soon Attorney Robt. L. Fortune of this city received word from his wife who is in Albuquerque, N. M., that she and the children will leave soon to join him in Phoenix. Mr. Fortune has leased a cottage at 14 South 11th street and has made ready for their coming. Union Picnic a Success The union picnic given Thursday, July 14th, by the C. M. E. and A. M. E. Sunday schools and leagues, proved a howling success. Promptly at 7 a. m., great throngs of children and grown folks had gathered at these churches and were ready to go. Due to an unavoidable delay, the four big Packard trucks from the Tarbell Transfer company did not arrive on the scene until 8 o'clock. All piled on and they were off to the picnic grounds. The spot selected for the picnic was just a few miles east of the Center street bridge, in a shady grove near the river's bed. Arriving at the grounds about 9 o'clock, the children and a few of the older people made a bee line for the river where they donned their bathing suits and enjoyed a plunge in the swimming hole. A liberal supply of watermelons, two monster freezers of Donfrio's famous ice cream and oodles of soda pop were unloaded from the trucks and made ready for the picknickers. At various intervals, these refreshments were served free to all, and all day long this station was liberally patronized. Everyone brought lunch, and about noon the place took on the appearance of a real picnic. Some good anglers were in the group and brought in a liberal supply of fish. A camp fire was built, skillet produced and with Mrs. Rachel M. Henderson acting as chef, all enjoyed a good old-fashioned fish fry. After everything had been devoured, which was not until 6 p. m., and the picknickers had indulged in all kinds of sport, the big trucks again loaded and they were off to Phoenix.

Sarah was picked up last Saturday for shoplifting in a Piggly-Wiggly store. As there were no police court sessions Sunday or Monday, she appeared Tuesday for the first time. The manager of the store was granted a continuance when he stated that the prosecutor "could not leave his work." The case will probably be settled sometime this week. But in the meantime Sarah had to wait in the city jail. Tokio, Japan.
