"WE ORIGINATE --- OTHERS IMITATE" Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes NOTABLE ADDRESS OF JAMES. W. JOHNSON TO PRESIDENT HARDING Following is an address by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, delivered to President Harding at the White House, when a delegation bearing a petition signed by 50,000 American citizens asking executive clemency and pardon for the sixtyone members of the 24th Infantry now in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, was presented. Mr. Johnson spoke in part as follows: Mr. President: As secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and spokesman for this delegation composed of persons and representatives of bodies, deeply concerned for America's good name, I have the honor to present a petition signed by fifty thousand American citizens, white and black, praying that you exercise executive clemency and pardon the sixty-one members of the 24th U. S. Infantry now in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, convicted on charges of roiting at Houston, Texas, in August, 1917. We are a delegation representing the fifty thousand signers of this petition which we have the honor to lay before you, and we come not only as a representative of those who signed the petition, but we are spokesman of the sentiments of the ten millions or more of Negro citizens of the United States. The petition, you will note, asks for your pardon on three grounds; first, the previous record for discipline, service and soldierly conduct of the 24th Infantry; second the provocation of local animosity which manifested itself in insults, threats and acts of violence against colored soldiers; third, the heavy punishment meted out to members of the 24th Infantry of whom nineteen were hanged, thirteen of them summarily and without right of appeal to the secretary of war or to the president, their commander-in-chief. This wholesale, unprecedented and almost clandestine execution shocked the entire country and appeared to the colored people to savor of vengeance rather than justice. Sixty-one members of the 24th Infantry are still in prison serving life and long time sentences. I wish to say a word about the provocation which occasioned the riot of August, 1917, in Houston, Texas, as the consequence of which this punishment was meted out. Contrary to all precedent, the provost guard of this colored regiment had been disarmed in a state and in a city where insult was the colored United States soldier's daily experience. Following a long series of humiliating and harassing incidents, one soldier was brutally beaten and a well beloved non-commissioned officer of the regiment fired upon because they had intervened in the mistreatment of a colored woman by local policemen. The report spread among the regiment that their non-commissioned officer, Corporal Baltimore, had been killed. Whatever acts may have been committed by these men were not the result of any premediated design. The men were guarded to sudden and frenzied action. This borne out by the long record of orderly and soldierly conduct on the part of this regiment throughout its whole history up to that time. : Moreover, although white citizens of Houston were involved in these riots and the regiment to which these men belonged was officered entirely by white men, none but Negroes so far as we have, been able to learn, have ever been prosecuted or punished. In consequence, the wholesale punishment meted out to these colored soldiers of their country bore the aspect of a visitation upon their color rather than upon their crime. The attention of colored people throughout the United States will be focussed upon the action which it may please you to take. In consideration therefore of the almost five years already served in prison by the sixty-one men and of the foregoing facts, and because of the long record for bravery, discipline and soldierly conduct of this particular LIVING MODELS WILL BE INTRODUCED BY LADIES CHARITY CLUB Living picture models will be the feature attraction at an entertainment to be given Tuesday evening, October 18 at the Community House, 10th street and East Washington, by members of the Charity Club.

Ku Klux Klan Post Warning Against Blacks. In Old Virginia (By The Associated Negro Press) Norfolk, Va., Oct. 14—Despite police assurance that they would be protected, Colored people who left Bruces Park Friday night after warnings supposed to have been sent by the Ku Klux Klan that their homes would be burned, refused to spend another night under their own roofs. The police succeeded in returning some of the refugees to their homes, but later that night they again became panic-stricken and fled. The police say 500 Negroes are homeless.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 BROTHERLY LOVE IS REMEDY FOR OUR ILLS SAYS BISHOP JONES (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Oct. 14.—Bishop Robert E. Jones, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who attended the recent Centennial celebration held here under the 'auspices of the Chicago District, declared in a public address that "The trouble with the people of the United States is selfishness and racial conceit." The bishop declared that all of the troubles of the world could be solved through a generation of the spirit of brotherly love. "To this end," declared Bishop Jones, "I believe that the coming World Conference on Limitation of Armament is the greatest event in the world's history since the birth of Jesus Christ. It is the beginning of the practical application of the teachings of 'peace on earth and good will to men.'" Continuing Bishop Jones stated that the United States of America has recently appropriated $369,000,000 for the navy department alone. "Such an amount of money spent for education or public health would be untold good forever," declared the bishop. By Norman King The A. M. E. church is still without a pastor, but the members are working together and doing fine. The Sunday school is doing exceptionally good work and the attendance is large. The C. M. E. church is doing fine under the able leadership of the pastor, Rev. J. R. Rector. The Sunday school also is doing nicely. On last Sunday, the pastor delivered two able sermons and all were benefitted by his words. The Mt. Olive Baptist church is still without a pastor, but this congregation is sticking together and every service sees a packed house. Song and prayer services are held and all seem benefitted by them. The Sunday school continues to grow and the lessons are beautifully taught by the superintendent and teachers. We invite all to attend our Sunday school. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson of Ft. Huachuca, motored to Douglas Sunday and spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Heck of 640 Thirteenth street. A big dinner was given in their honor and covers were laid for Mrs. Bird, Rev. and Mrs. J. R.

L, Oct. 14. —A Barnyard scandal of far reaching import was discovered here today in the heentry of the Carnegie institution. A rooster whose manly crowing has thrilled many a hen has laid an egg. In their experiments Carnegie scientists transferred the comb and other sex markings of a rooster to a hen and vice versa. The hen continues to lay eggs, but has taken to crowing and strutting. The rooster grows more lady-like every day. MASTER CRIMINAL IS CAPTURED BY POLICE IN CINCINNATI. OHIO (Special To The Tribune) Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 14—Hyde Park and other suburbs now rest calmly and peacefully, for "Jake" Barbour, the burglar, has been captured. Thousands of dollars worth of bonds and jewelry have been stolen in the last six months. He had white "lookouts" when busy at his chosen profession. Ordinarily, the burglars have been white, the "lookouts" colored. That the master mind in this case was black, proves that the Negro is moving to the front in vice as well as virtue. Barbour hails originally from Tuscaloosa, Ala. After such professional education as Memphis and other southern cities afforded, his instruction was completed in Chicago, that city of graft and greatness. He was captured by Detective Frank A. B. Hall, our famous colored sleuth. The police found the burglar, as dumb as an oyster, until his wife was apprehended, then to save her, he opened his mouth and even Rousseau never confessed more completely. The wife is a young woman of this city, who knew neither the source of his riches nor his real method of securing the magnificent dresses and jewelry his affection prompted him to lavish upon her. It is much to his credit that he sacrificed himself. Until the confession, Attorney Brown was confident of procuring his release. Race Must Not Think Too Highly Of Itself Says Colored Educator (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 14.—Condemination of advice urging southern Negroes to organize in shops is expressed by Rev. R. D. Stimson, Colored principal of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial school, who declared it to be his belief that such a step would be prejudicial to the best interests of his race. He said he believed the best interests of the Negro race to lie in co-operation with white people and avoidance of friction such as would arise from the proposed organization. "My race is too young," he said, "It is too weak, intellectually and morally and otherwise to enter into things so far-reaching. The black people must not allow themselves to be overestimated nor must they overestimate themselves." ALAMORGORDO. N. M. By Mrs. E. M. A. Fears Concord church and institute is progressing nicely.

The state convention closed with a Missionary budget of work to be accomplished in the future, being strictly in line with the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated), which convention meets in Denver, Colo., in October, 1922. The Rev. Jno. D. Fears in his annual address advised that the convention do things decently and in order; support Christian education and missions; iontrol for a better humanity, a purer Christianity, with the spirit of co-operation for the general good of all. Rev. J. R. Williams preached a great missionary sermon and his field report showed that he had been busy during the past year. He left last week to visit points in this state and Texas. The field report of the women's work was encouraging and they plan to do a greater work during the next year. Mrs. E. M. A. Fears, corresponding secretary. It is all right to speak of the other fell'ow's unfitness if your own shirt is clean. Otherwise keep your mouth shut. If we spent as much money on education and business enterprise as we do on heaven we might stand a better chance to reach heaven, Some men are indeed born great, others just walk along a road and pick it up just like a small boy picking up a pebble or a small stick.

PAUL (By The Associated Negro Press) St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 14—When an employee of a wholesale produce firm here dived through a second-story window to escape flames, which were consuming the building last night, hundreds of pigeons followed him. As they emerged from the broken window the black background of night made noticeable spots of flames on wings and tails of many of the birds. Their course was over the Mississippi river. Fanned by the motion of flying, the flames spread until the birds were enveloped, and many of them, like falling rockets, dropped into the street. TALKING WITH DEAD WILL BE DISCUSSED AT CHURCH SERVICES (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Oct. 14. — A "spook" raising contest will be included on the program of the First Baptist church next Sunday night if a challenge issued Sunday night by the Rev. Louis Entzminger is accepted by New Orleans spiritualists. The Reverend Entzminger offered to pay $1000 to any spiritualist or believer in spiritualism who can produce any phenomenon that cannot be reproduced and explained by an ex-medium who is co-operating with the pastor in a series of sermons on spiritualism entitled "Can the living communicate with the dead?" Mr. Entzminger's purpose in staging the contest will be to demonstrate his contention there is nothing supernatural about seances conducted by mediums, and that every supposed "phenomenon" produced by them can readily be explained. Preacher Admits Living With Woman Not His Wife, Period of 28 Years (By The Associated Negro Press) Meridian, Miss., Oct. 14.—Charged with deserting his family, Rev. W. E. Bennett, Nazarene preacher, testified at his trial yesterday that the woman with whom he admitted living twenty-eight years, and the mother of his eight children, is not his wife. Rev. Bennett said his only legal marriage was to a young woman of Bell county, Texas, whom he wedded according to his testimony, last January. A 26-year-old daughter of the preacher testified that she knew of no grounds for her father leaving her mother. The trial also disclosed that Bennett was the father of a 'Negress' with children now living in this city. By Mrs. C. C.

Beaumont, Texas, Oct. 14.—Because he was too active in opposing the Ku Klux Klan, particularly the tarring and feathering of a white woman, presumably by that organization several months ago, Geo. E. Hillen, former constable at Tenaha, Texas, near here, received Saturday through the mails, a drawing showing a man dangling at the end of a rope. Attached was a warning which read: "All such leave town." The letter has been turned over to the postoffice authorities. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year JUDGE BEN LINDSEY RATHER LENIENT WITH PETTY BOOTLEGGERS (Special To The Tribune) Denver, Colo., Oct. 14.—On the ground that "it would be unjust to punish a lesser offender against the bootleg laws, while wealthy social leaders of Capitol hill are allowed to have their wine cellars without fear of molestation," Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of the juvenile court, today freed Chester Lasater and Clete Hinton, accused of giving young girls liquor to drink. In a statement read in open court, Judge Lindsey charged that "a conspiracy exists among the rich to have the laws enforced only against the poor." "If we are to have jail sentences," said judge Lindsey. "I would recommend that the prominent men involved in the delivery of thousands of dollars worth of first-class booze—free of the poisons that in the booze of the poor are punishment enough—be followed, prosecuted and sent to jail. "I would recommend that the society leaders and women of prominence who are interested in getting these laws enforced send their investigators into the homes of the rich with search warrants to inspect their cellars and then have the courage to go after them. "I would recommend that they call one of our leading business men and social lights before their boards and committees and if possible make him tell what he had to do with thousands of dollars worth of first-class booze found in his garage this week. "When the uplifters and upheavers will do a little more work of this kind it will do more to encourage the courts to enforce the laws we have than sentencing the poor devils to jail and the penitentiary." Judge Lindsey also said from the bench that he expected to be condemned at a mass meeting to be held at the state house tonight for the purpose of working up public sentiment against enforcement of the prohibition laws as a result of his statement in open court today, but that he felt justified in refusing to sentence the men before him to jail. "I shall put these young people on probation as the law permits me to do," said Judge Lindsey, "and I think even directs in cases of this kind. "I will not even sentence them to go to church. What good would that do? Many of the prominent men in booze and sex cases in this town are not only members of the church, but pillars in the church. This is also true of some of our leading gamblers. Then why should we expect that sentencing them to church is going to do for them what it hasn't done for some of the pillars of the church? This is not any reflection on the church." The court room was crowded when Judge Lindsey read his statement. MAN STUMBLES UPON FOUR KEGS OF GOOD OLD LIQUOR (By The Associated Negro Press) Richmond Road, Texas, Oct. 14.—Deputies from Sheriff Bintford's office had a "raid" literally thrust upon them Friday afternoon, when they received a telephone call from Leonard Rice, Negro of this place. The call told of stumbling on four kegs of liquor, carefully hidden in tall weeds near the junction of Richmond and Fondren roads. Deputy Rogers and McCullum immediately hied themselves to investigate and upon arrival found four small tarrels of good quality moonshine and part of a still. This they took with them. No arrests were made. According to Rice who "discovered" the still, he was working on a fence at the time and stumbled on the barrels. Officers said that the liquor had been placed there several days ago, undoubtedly by someone who intended coming back for it after he had found a more hidden location than the one he previously operated. Officers are confident Rice had nothing to do with the contraband and Friday were praising his honesty in reporting the matter to officers.

A ROLLING STONE Human restlessness, the moving spirit, is as difficult to contend with as the tides that ebb and flow. The tide cannot be stopped, neither can the moving spirit in human nature be curbed. It must have its way, take its natural course, and bring its human freight to fortune or poverty. "The rolling stone gathers no moss", is a saying as old as civilization. "The rolling stone takes on more polish", may be and is of more recent origin; but in either case the moving units of humanity are little benefitted by the gratification of their irrerestible longing for a change of location or environment. There are, it is true many cases where men and women have gone away to some other locality and have become famous, and fortune has smiled upon many others who have left their home towns and communities and gone forth into the world to engage in business that was more to their liking than the home town afforded, and to them the move resulted in prosperity. For those who have talent and ambition for greater things there is no other alternative. They must seek prosperity where it listeth. The moving spirit is not harmful when it directs people to make changes for the better, provided they possess the faculty of recognizing a good thing when they have found it, and cast their anchors for a permanent stay in surroundings that are congenial and where their labor is remunerative. Such moves are beneficial, and from an economic standpoint necessary; but the great masses of humanity move about aimlessly from one house to another, from one town to another, from the city to the country and from the country to the city; never satisfied, ever hopeful, chasing the will-o-the-wisp that leads them on, hither and thither, with no assurance of a betterment of their condition. The great mass of these restless beings are those who have not prepared themselves for the better condition they seek, or they lack the will power to push into places they are able to fill; but the most of them are square pegs trying to fit into round holes, and consequently there is an eternal mis-fit and a continual wandering until death puts an end to their migration. The ever-present thought is that they can move on to some other city, or engage in some other business, or that if they work for someone else they would gain in prosperity; and so they move on, leaving good jobs, good homes, good surroundings, friends and companions, to take up their abode among strangers. Ten to one they soon realize that they have made a mistake, and they again pack up and hit the trail for some other locality and another disappointment. The restless spirit is a national misfortune. Ninety per cent. of the wanderers would be far better off to remain where they were born, and where among their friends, who know them well, they will find greater opportunities than most of them find by moving about. Right here in our community there is room for all those men and women who have gone forth to better their condition. Right here there are opportunities for development that would make many of them rich, provided they would take off their coats and work as they have worked for less reward among strangers. How many industries might this community now have if the boys of the home town had spent their manhood days in as earnest development work here as they have in other towns no more advantageously situated than ours? Banish the wanderlust and build your home-town better. THE COLORED MAN'S WORST ENEMY Conditions among colored people in other sections of the country, evidently are not materially different from those existing in Arizona and we believe our readers will benefit by reading the opinions of two colored editors who are far removed from Arizona. Following is an article taken from the Portland Advocate of Portland, Oregon: The colored race complains of the prejudice and opposition of the white race as hindering its progress and advancement, but they never were so badly mistaken. For the reason the white race with its prejudice and opposition, is on the outside of the activities of the colored race, hence can do little harm to the race's success, while on the other hand the harm and hinderances come from the jealous, envious, narrow-souled people of our own race who are on the inside. And there is where our biggest obstacles lie. The colored race can do itself and is doing itself more harm than all the other race's opposition combined. Take for instance the great principle of co-operation—the one essential principle that has and is making organizations and nations great today, is to a large degree absent in the colored race. A lack of which creates a serious condition in all the business, and even in religious and fraternal affairs of the race. Nobody seems to be trying to keep the colored race from combining its commercial and religious strength; it is simply a condition created by the race itself, and it has no one to blame for the poor showing they are making but themselves along commercial, economic, civic and political lines. We complain of no employment in the higher realms of business and other activities, and we charge the white man with prejudice for keeping us out of those places, but the underlying principle of this condition is the lack of organization amongst ourselves, and the white man's prejudice is not keeping us from accomplishing those much needed activities. It is not strange to hear public speakers of both men and women complain bitterly of the existing state of affairs from the point of employment and from the point of business, and from the point of a few professional men in this part of the country who are not making good. But the failure of these things comes from the opposition on the inside of the race and not from the white race. And this from the Star of Norfork, Virginia: It is a most remarkable thing that so many of our speakers and newspapers enlarge upon what is necessary to make us a people; how we ought to patronize each other; how we ought to be proud of the race; what we can do to make the race respected; what ought to be done to arouse the race to a sense of its responsibility. When you read of these things you wonder if other Negroes read them with the same feeling and have the same ideas as you to try to help put such teachings into actual practice? When you stop to reason out the matters which operate to halt and hinder the fruition of these teachings, you at once discover that we are our worst enemies. We are, more or less, the deceitful hypocrites, which blow warm when we want things to come our way, and cold whenever we think the other fellow of the race is getting just a little more of recognition, a little more of real appreciation for work well done, or just a bit more applause and encouragement for a greater honesty of purpose. If the men and women who are qualified to blaze the way; who tell you how important it is that we practice certain virtues to gain certain desired ends; whose success has been predicated upon the faith and confidence of the people, cannot see the imperative importance of practicing what they preach, how on earth is it possible to hope to teach the great mass of the people who do but little thinking, this most altruistic duty? Day by day we meet face to fact with things which challenge our right to be called men and women. We are so accustomed to be treated as children that most times most of us get the habit of looking upon ourselves as far less than what we really are. No serious-minded person believes that we can make substantial progress, unless we get more and more of the generosity of the spirit of unselfishness; more of the desire to help, even if but little of the credit comes to us for work well done; more of the spirit of sacrifice for the good of all, with the hope of lifting up others, even if they outdo us in the running; more of the sagacity to see that each one who attains success or fame makes the climbing easier for others.

C., Oct. 14.—Attorney Genearl Daugherty, last Tuesday, announced that "to concentrate, simplify, and expedite" the proposed investigation of the Ku Klux Klan by a congressional committee he had offered to Chairman Campbell of the house rules committee evidence and examiners from this department. Action now he said, "may stop a lot of cruelty, crimes, worry and anxiety." Mr. Daugherty said the inquiry by congress would not interfere with his own investigation. Members of the house committee are inclined to accept the offer of legal advisers assigned by Mr Daugherty rather than retain special counsel.

The evidence showed that Brown who was charged with killing another Negro, Eugene Polk, on May 8, 1920, had slain in self defense. Polk advanced on him with a drawn knife, Brown gave ground and begged Polk to desist, telling him that he did not wish to kill him. CHURCH DIRECTORY Corner Second street and Jefferson. T. J.

MEDICOS DENOUNCE "DRY" (By The Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Oct., 14. The Independent Medical Association in convention here last Monday, adopted a resolution in favor of beer of 2 3-4 per cent alcoholic content and denouncing the dry law. The resolution asserted that the association was "convinced of the necessity of properly brewed lager beer in the treatment of patients," and that beer of 2 3-4 per cent alcoholic content would be "admirally adopted as a substitute for stronger alcoholic drinks now consumed by our people in large quantities." The Volstead law, the resolution declared, "restricts medical practice and the therapeutic liberties of the physician and compels the physicians to become a go-between in the welfare of his patient and the saloon." He who remembers his own yesterday ought to think about the other fellow's today. An alley is an alley in Cincinnati, Ohio, or Fall River, Massachusetts.
