"WE ORIGINATE --- OTHERS IMITATE" Phoenix Tribune Key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes KU KLUX KLAN PROBE BY CONGRESS COMES TO A SUDDEN HALT (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—The proposed investigation of the Ku Klux Klan by congress blew up last week. After a ten minutes session behind closed doors, the house rules committee which at morning and afternoon sessions last Monday put William J. Simmons, the Klans imperial wizard, through a rigid examination, voted unanimously not to call any more witnesses, certainly at this time. Announcement of the committee's action was made by Chairman Campbell and the chairman and members refused later to make any comment beyond the bare statement. Final action, however, will not be taken until several absent members return to Washington, but house members accepted it as settled that they were done with the Ku Klux, unless the department of justice, conducting an inquiry of its own, came forward with unexpected evidence. In the meantime too important conclusions appear to be reached by elements in the city of Chicago who have been waging a bitter fight on the Ku Klux. The National Unity Council, of which Ex-Governor Dunne and Clarence Darrow were influential members, has closed shop and discontinued its fight on the Klan. But the National Order of Beavers, and organization of Negroes recently organized in the "Windy City" refused to call a halt in its program to institute a fight to the finish on Imperial Wizard Simmons and his cohorts. The Beavers effect to believe that the Negroes are being made the victims of an agreement that has been reached by the influential elements among the country's Roman Catholics and Jews to shake off the "nigger load" they have been obliged to carry by reason of the Ku Klux prominence against the three elements, "Niggers," "Papists" and "Sheevees." It is alleged that a large sum of money is being raised by the Chicago organization to carry on its fight against "Klansism." According to rumors now current in Washington the Beavers are extending their campaign for membership into every section of the country. The present membership is declared to be close to the 100,000 mark. LOTS OF COTTON NOW BEING CONSUMED BY EASTERN MILLS (By The Associated Negro Press).

The woman's screams attracted attention before the white man was able to fulfill the purpose he threatened—to cut off her head. The next attack occurred also in an alley 13 blocks north. Screams came from 3200 block in South State street. Those who responded saw a white man fleeing. They found the body of Daisy Jackson, colored,3203 South State street. Her head was almost severed.

STUDENTS OF INDIA WANT NEW KIND OF EDUCATION (By The Associated Negro Press) Hampton, Va., Oct. 28.—"In India we are looking to Hampton Institute, to Tuskegee, and to Beree to teach us what kind of education we need, because we say we need badly something besides literary education," declared Prof. Charles E. Thompson of Ewing Christian College, Allahabad, India, in a recent address at Hampton Institute. "The students of India," said Professor Thompson, "are yearning for a new kind of education. They are not satisfied with what they have been getting. B. A.'s and M. A.'s. In India with the highest degree—go out and take posts as excise inspectors, positions which, in this country, would be filled by men who perhaps had not finished high school. Lawyers who have gone on after that and gone through college earn as much as $10 a month. On the other hand, the big merchant and business men will not send their sons to college.

TENNESSEE WOMAN PROVES TO BE BIG COURT SENSATION (By The Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 28—Hazel Woods, colored, staged a one act comedy on North Front street in the wee small hours on last Sunday morning, just before the early mass bells on St. Peter's church pealed forth that turned into tragedy before the sun rose, with the scene changed to a dark and dreary cell at headquarters. Hazel decided that the life of a washerwoman was entirely too drab. This business of wearing out one cake of soap after another caused a revolution within her African bosom. Somebody, she told Sgt. Cole, told her about how Jeanne d' Arc donned male attire and led the French armies to victory back in the more or less dark ages of history. She would try it. When the officers picked Hazel up in the darkest hours of the morning, just before dawn, they said they did not know whether she was a general of Moroccan rebels escaped from a Spanish prison or a crazy Negro. Attired in coat and trousers and with her hair cut short, she was whistling to the snow birdies on Front street in manner of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. She would lead them to where there were no rats and out of the and of pestilence. Alas, poor Ophalia! Officers testified that Hazel was the nuttiest nut they have found within the confines of the city for many moons. Hazel said she must have been walking in her sleep. When a witness testified that Hazel he'ps hun mam right sma't ev'y day" she was let down with a $10 fine. Sgt. Adams made the arrest.

The attitude which colored trainmen would take in the event of the threatened strike has been a matter of public interest. The following order has been dispatched to the members of the Railroad Men's International, the largest union effort among colored railroad men by President Mayes; "All members of all crafts of this organization having taken no strike ballot, will not officially participate in any strike or walkout called by any other organization of railroad employees. "Former instructions will be followed. You will remain at work as long as conditions will permit you, and your own safety or the safety of the public is not endangered or by so staying you will not contribute to any lawlessness in the communities in which you live and work. "Should a strike be called on the road for which you work by the craft of which you are a member and a shut down seems eminent as a result, you will report to your immediate superior company official that you are ready for work when conditions make the same possible and ask for a leave of absence to begin the day of the shut down and to end the day the dispute has been settled to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, and with the assurance of public peace. Local chairmen or local presidents will call joint meetings of all the men of all crafts of this organization in their respective communities. They will elect a steering committee of three, whose duty it will be to keep in touch with the company officials and with the local chairmen of the striking workers in order to ascertain the exact hour of settlement and to be in position to advise the men when to return to work because of the adjustment of the dispute and the automatic termination of the leave of absence. Our men will remain away from railway properties during their leave of absence and will report twice a day at their meeting places to receive instructions from the chairmen of the steering committee. These meetings should be at 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. daily. "In the meantime, all members are urged to prepare to support the organization to make a stiff fight in supporting all other organizations against a further reduction in railway workers' wages until and unless railroad freight rates have first been reduced in proportion to the wage reduction order of July 1, 1921.

WHERE SHALL WE GO? Following is an editorial from we believe will be of interest to our IN VIEW OF THE ATTITUDE the present national administration, for and represent the Republican passable and indefensible, the quest itself is, what shall we do and where and tendencies referred to would see an editorial from the Chicago of interest to our readers. THE ATTITUDE and indicational administration, which is put the Republican party, and wifensible, the question that n Following is an editorial from the Chicago Defender that we believe will be of interest to our readers. The article follows: IN VIEW OF THE ATTITUDE and indicated tendencies of the present national administration, which is presumed to stand for and represent the Republican party, and which seems inexcusable and indefensible, the question that naturally presents itself is, what shall we do and where shall we go? The attitude and tendencies referred to would seem to indicate that our presence in the Republican party is no longer desired—that the fundamental principles and doctrines which heretofore constituted the principal difference between the two major parties are to be repudiated and abandoned—that the party is no longer to be the organ and representative of those who believe in equal civil and political rights, national supremacy and impartial enforcement of the laws of the land and a fair play and square deal for all true and loyal American citizens regardless of race, color, nationality or religion. IF THIS BE TRUE the Republican party of today will have no further claim upon this great mass of the American electorate. These voters remained loyal to the Republican party until the inauguration of the unwise and unfortunate policy of the Taft administration, which the present administration seems to have inherited. THE SUGGESTION comes from certain quarters that we align ourselves with and support indiscriminately the candidates of the Democratic party, if for no other reason than from a spirit of retaliation and revenge. This we believe is not the proper course to pursue. Life is too short and time too valuable to fight battles of retaliation and revenge. What we want is to bring about practical results for the future and not punish any one for mistakes of the past. Then again, we cannot overlook the fact that the Democratic party as an organization, is primarily responsible for the major part of the wrongs and injustices to which we are subjected. This, however, is not true of all members of the party. THERE ARE OTHERS who suggest that we as a separate and distinct group organize a party of our own. This is not only imprudent, injudicious and unwise but suicidal. Whatever we do and whatever action we take should and must be in co-operation with white Americans who are in accord with us in the advocacy of principles and doctrines we believe to be paramount and vital. The formation of a party upon race lines would place us in the attitude of supporting and encouraging what we denounce in others. THEN, AGAIN, some advise that we join the Socialists and other minor parties. What we should do is to ally ourselves with no party but maintain a position of strict independence, with a view of voting in the future for individuals rather than parties. In other words, we should no longer vote for the candidate because he is labeled Republican and against another because he is labeled Democratic or something else, but make the attitude of the candidates upon questions we deem paramount and vital, the controlling factor in casting our votes. THE COURSE we are sure will result in relegating to private life those who are now in control of the machinery of the Republican party and by whom the secret principles and doctrines of that party are being betrayed and sacrificed. In that event, the Republican party of the future may again become the medium through which this great mass of voters above referred to can give expression to their views and sentiments. PAGE TWO A IF THIS SHOULD NOT MATERIALIZE another one of the type of Abraham Lincoln may come to the front, under whose leadership these voters will rally in the formation of another party built upon the ruins of the former Republican party. The word "former" is used advisedly because the Taft-Harding administrations no longer reflect and represent what the Republican party heretofore stood for.

A., is growing by leaps and bounds and the membership is loyal. Last Sunday this Division fairly outdid itself in the celebration held here. People came from all the surrounding towns and we tried to entertain them in grand style. Judging from the number of empty dishes left on the ground after all had partaken of the good things which were prepared for them, everybody and his brother came to Mesa Sunday. The president of the Phoenix Division of the U. N. I. A., Mr. H. H. Rice and a bunch of his members were present as well as many others from the capital city.

Mr. Robert Reese and family have moved to East Newell street and are comfortably settled in their new home. When a young man proposes it is up to the girl to lose her self-possession. Tight shoes and worry produce exactly the same expression on the face. It might be well to keep in mind the fact that Negroes are to be counted among the country's large number of unemployed. Perhaps, though, there is no need to count unemployed Negroes. There may not be any connection between the movement to relieve the unhappy situations that now exist in Armenia and the projects on the Pan African congress, but we stop long enough to say that conditions in America call for some notice. Doorn, Holland, Oct. 23—The slump in the German mark is beginning to affect the former German Emperor, who is endeavoring to combat unfavorable financial conditions by reducing his household. Ten members of his staff have been dismissed, including the chief gardener, whose place has been taken by William himself. Gardening now has become a hobby with the former emperor, who appears to have tired of sawing and chopping wood. Lots of men find folly so attractive that they find no desire to acquire wisdom. "Thank you," can sometimes sound as impersonal as the conductor's "All aboard." If you would size up a man correctly listen to what he has to say about his neighbor. A man is as old as he looks but a woman is seldom as young as she thinks she looks. No, Alfred, a man seldom puts his foot into it when he takes a step to the right direction. Money may make the mare go—or come, or stay—according to the way it talks to the jockey. It would take seventeen guardian angels and half dozen policemen to keep some men out of trouble. Some men have such weak eyes they actually couldn't tell the truth if they saw it. Mr. Advertiser The Tribune is read by practically every Colored family in Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, and Tempe.
