Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes ODDFELLOWS WILL ERECT STATE TEMPLE IN HOUSTON TEXAS ODDFELLOWS WILL ERECT STATE TEMPLE IN HOUSTON TEXAS Special to The Tribune Houston, Texas, April 7.—It now appears that Houston will be the home of the state temple of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth of the Texas jurisdiction, as the committee met here during the week and "talked shop" and at hour of writing this article earnest money was benign posted on the Loftus property, which measures 100x100 feet and is located at the southwest corner of Prairie avenue and Louisiana street. This piece of property is situated in the very heart of the colored business district and is less than two blocks from the city auditorium. As a matter of fact, it is in the heart of the business section of the city without regard to race. Diagonally across from this site is located the Hogg building, consisting of seven stories, which cost around three quarters of a million dollars, while the Lincoln theatre, South's finest colored playhouse, is just a few steps east of the site the Odd Fellows are purchasing. It is currently reported that this downtown site will cost the Odd Fellows about $85,000. The committee having the purchase of this property in hand consisted of Hon. H. G. Goree, grand master; B.Y. Aycock and J. H. Riddle, treasurer and endowment secretary, respectively. Several other local propositions were submitted to the committee, but they were turned down, the officials deciding that it would be poor policy to purchase some old building and after spending a huge sum of money in improving it, it would not then be what they wanted. For that reason they decided to purchase vacant property and erect a building according to their own ideas and in keeping with the high standing of the order. A committee consisting of Grand Master H. G. Goree, Prof. G. W. Jackson and Prof. David Abner, Jr., deputy grand master and most noble governor of the Household of Ruth, respectively, has been appointed to secure the services of a colored architect to draw the plans and specifications for the building and it is hoped to use practically all colored labor in the construction of this state temple here. This decision and action of the official family of Odd Fellows will put at rest all current rumors regarding the "probable" site and erection of a handsome and imposing structure in Houston, and, when the edifice is completed, it will mark the crowning event to the career of Grand Master Goree, who has given the temple project much time and consideration. When he assumed charge of the order several years ago, it was in an almost insolvent condition, while today the order is in a prosperous and healthy condition and has nearly $300,000 on hand in the endowment fund. Attorney W. M. C. Dickson, race barrister, has been employed to look into and examine the title to the local property and if the title is clear and unclouded, the original payment will be made and property transferred to the grand lodge of the order, through its regularly appointed and duly authorized officials. Several local Odd Fellows and Ruthites labored untimely and unceasingly to bring the state temple to Houston and their efforts have been amply rewarded. Those who took a leading part in pushing Houston's claims were Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Hart, Dr. B. J. Covington, Editor C. F. Richardson, et al. FT.

C., April 7—Following the much rumor that the Ku Klux Klan was planning to pull off a parade in the District of Columbia, Major Sullivan of the Washington police department issued the following regulations: "Processions and parades, except funerals, shall not be allowed except by permit of the Major and Superintendent of Police, which permit shall designate the time and route of such procession or parade, and no part of such procession or parade shall move except according to the terms of such permit; provided, however, that no permit shall be issued for any procession or parade of any group, body or organization, the members of which are so costumed, dressed, masked or disguised as to be unrecognizable; provided, that this provision shall not apply to persons costumed as clowns taking part in authorized parades." REPUBLICAN CUP IS PRESENTED TO DOUGLAS SCHOOL REPUBLICAN CUP IS PRESENTED TO DOUGLAS SCHOOL The Arizona Republican perpetual cahillenge cup which was won by the Douglas school in the public school athletic meet held last week. was presented to the winning school yesterday afternoon. Ed Harrington, sporting editor of The Republican presented the cup to the school during the afternoon recess. The Douglas school students were complimented on the showing made in the athletic meet with especial reference to the points scored by the school considering the number of students enrolled. Ray Kane, circulation manager of The Republican, also congratulated the teachers and students on their ability and laid stress on the fair methods devised by Coach Weilt in determining the winners. Mr. Weilt addressed a few remarks to the students and faculty and explained the plan adopted in determining the school standings. Principal Landry of the Douglas school on behalf of the students and faculty thanked The Republican for its interest in school athletics and Coach Weilt for his work in preparing the students for the meet and the manner in which all events were carried out. The cup will remain in the possession of the Douglas school until next spring when it will again be contested for by the various schools. The cup becomes the premanent property of the school winning it three times (By Miss Bertha Johnson) Mrs. Minnie Johnson who has been confined because of injuries received when she was run into by a vehicle, is able to out again.

E. CONFERENCE SEVERAL BISHOPS TO BE ELECTED AT C. M. E. CONFERENCE Special to The Tribune St. Louis, Mo., April 7.—The General Conference of the Colored M. E. Church to be held in St. Louis in May will project a program that will recognize the new opportunities and sacred obligations the stress of the times places before all agencies working for human uplift. This church is aggressive and has done some really big things during the quanrennium now closing. The losing of two of its chief pastors by death since the last general conference and the rapid expansion and substantial growth of the church seem to confirm the opinion among the leaders that New Bishops will be elected in May. It will be remembered that this church has not made any new bishops since general conference met here eight years ago, and it would seem that St. Louis is "holy ground" for making bishops. Just who the lucky ones will be this time is not easy to tell, due to the large number of worthy men who are willing to be offered up. Among those who have been before the church for several years are: Drs. N. N. Haypoj and J. A. Walter of Alabama; R. S. Stout of Arkansas; J. W. McKinney of Texas; G. W. Mills of Louisiana, J. C. Martin and P. H. Rodgers of Tennessee; M. E. Brinson of Georgia. These men, it is said are capable and experienced and each possesses some excellent qualities. Among the younger men who, first for one reason and another stand out prominently and who are being pushed by their friends are: Drs. G. T. Long of Washington, J. H. Moore, T. C. Little and H. B Leach of Mississippi; G. L. Word and C. W. Holsey of Georgia; J. A. Bray of Alabama; J. M. Reed of Arkansas; J. A. Winters of Illinois; G. M. Noble of Kentucky; N. L. Smith of Missouri; J. H. Douglas of Texas; W. J. Turner and Arthur W. Womack. Services at the A. M. E. Zion church were well attended on last Sunday and the Rev. A. R. Simpson preached two able sermons that were greatly enjoyed by the congregation. Sunday was a great day at St. Paul Baptist church. There was not room enough for the Sunday school children and at 11 o'clock, the pastor, Rev. J. M. Robinson, preached to an overflowing crowd. We never dreamed there were so many people in the Pala Verde valley. Both churches are busy getting ready for Easter and there will be special exercises appropriate to the occasion. Farmers in this section are busy planting cotton and cultivating their lettuce and grapes. Diversified farming is the order of the day and farmers in this section never pin their faith in one crop. Things are beginning to move along nicely in the valley. The flu has abated and every one is persuing regular course of study. Mr. Classr Smart is on the sick list this week. We hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. E. Louder has quite recovered from his recent indisposition. Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell have moved with Mr. and Mrs. Claud Woods to North Granite street. Messrs. Turner, Oliver, Green, Warters and Hines boys moved to the sick ward are all improving. We regret the absence of our former physician, Dr. J. Dix, who was transferred to Palo Alto, Cal. Dr. Paul C. Chrystian succeeded him and is liked fine by all the boys. Can you go up against scepticism, ridicule and opposition without flinching? You want success, but are you willing to pay the price for it? CHIEF OF POLICE IN EL PASO TEX. DEFIES ORDER OF KU KLUX CHIEF OF POLICE IN EL PASO TEX. DEFIES ORDER OF KU KLUX Special to The Tribune El Paso, Tex. April 7.—The day after 1500 members of the Ku Klux Klan held an open-air meeting and initiated 280 candidates, Chief of Police Peyton Edwards announced publicly that he and his men would resist with their lives any effort the klan might make to hold an exhibition or stage a parade within the city limits. The open-air meeting was held outside the city limits. Chief Edwards also said that "While some of the best citizens in town are in the klan's membership, I understand. I will discharge any member of the police force as soon as I learn that he is a member of the klan." The 24th Infantry Tennis Association held its regular monthly meeting at New Service Club on Monday, April 3. Election of officers to serve during next six months was held with following results: Staff Sgt. Fred Ware, president; Mrs. B. F. Ford, vice president; Miss Mable Smith, secretary; Sgt. Robt Tyler, steward; Tech. Sgt. R. Johnson, referee; R. H. Hamilton, assistant referee. After all business was completed Messrs. Lee Johnson, 1st Bat. Hdqrs. and Edward Johnson, Vet. Corps, became hosts of the evening. Progressive whist was first in order. Mrs. Fred Ware won ladies' first prize, a beautiful sterling silver pie knife. By high cut for a tie, Sgt. Wm. H. Stewart received men's first prize, a compass. Mrs. M. A. McCrimmon carried home the booby, a tennis ball. After the snappy rounds of cards delightful refreshments of chilled fruit and wafers, ice cream and cake were served. This is the second social event of Tennis Club at the expense of two "volunteers" of same name, but these two young hosts on the success and brilliancy of their affair. We hope to be able to appreciate their kind and liberal hospitality again in the near future. Companies H, D and Howitzer are again on range for opening target season. By order of Colonel Shoeffel, the 24th Infantry passed in review for Sgt. Thomas Johnson recently retired from the regiment. Sgt. Johnson was a verteran first sergeant of Company I until recently of the Third Battalion when he was transferred to Company C. Sgt. Johnson has been a worthy soldier and comrade and we hope his life as a civilian will be as successful as was his as a soldier. The Phyllis Wheatley Literary and Art Club met at the home of Mrs. W. D. Smith. Election of officers for ensuing year resulted as follows: Mrs. S. Chadman, president; Mrs. W. D. Smith, vice president; Mrs. E. Allen, secretary; Mrs. I. Falkner, treasurer. The club held its next business meeting to the home of Mrs. G. Watters. At last meeting of the 24th Infantry Tennis Association, Mrs. James Gallimore and Mrs. Joe Johnson were enrolled as new members. The finals of the Individual Championship matches will be played between Staff Sgt. R. Tuttall and Tech. Sgt. W. D. Smith at an early a late as possible. Mrs. E. W. Page is on the sick list this week. Sgt. and Mrs. E. Allen entertained with a sumptuous dinner. Covers were laid for Chaplain A. W. Thomas, 1st Sgt. and Mrs. Johnson and mother, Mrs. Echols who is visiting from Georgia. The "Border Jazz Babies" entertained a crowded house at New Service Club in two hours of music, song and variety. The audience was kept in an uproar from start to finish. Those deserving credit and congratulations for success of the minstrels are: Walter (Silk Shirt Gus) Jones, Oscar Rodgers, Charlie Stevens, Bert Williams (Segunda), Elbert Harris, Misses Myra Hackley and Thelma Alken. Music was furnished by a Jazz orchestra with Williams at piano; Epps, cornet; Miller, trombone; Tyre, violin; and Smith, drums. The show was given under the auspices COLORED SHRINERS FORBIDDEN TO USE NAME OR WEAR BADGE COLORED SHRINERS FORBIDDEN TO USE NAME OR WEAR BADGE Special to The Tribune Houston, Texas, April 7.—A farreaching and sweeping injunction was issued by Judge Ewing Boyd of the 55th judicial district court of Texas last Saturday, which, in answer to petition of local white Shriners, enjoins colored Shriners of Houston and "the entire United States" from using the names of the organization or "using, wearing or displaying the emblems, insignia, badges and head covering" of the organization. The writ of injunction has already been served upon several local shriners of the colored contingent here, and since the imperial council intervened at the filing of the original petition, the court granted the temporary injunction against both the local temple and entire jurisdiction. In their petition the plaintiffs recite a brief history of the founding of the organization in America and purport to establish the exclusive right to operate as Shriners in this jurisdiction. The restraining injunction, temporary in its nature, prohibits the colored Shriners from employing the names of plaintiffs' organization or "further using the name of 'Ancient Arabi Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,' or the name 'Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,' or the name 'Doric Temple of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine,' or the name' Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine of North and South America and its jurisdiction," or using any of the "emblems, insignia, badges and head covering or any colorable imitation of any fraternity or secret order." The case will appear on the local judicial docket on Monday, May 1, 1922. Lawyers Watkins and White Chicago, are representing the interveners; Lawyer M. H. Broyles and W. M. C. Dickson the defendants (Doric Temple of which Homer E. McCoy is illustrious potentate) and Attorney John H. Crooker, the plaintiffs. Wednesday of last week. Miss Florence Hall, underwent a serious operation at the Mercy hospital in this city, for appendicitis, and is reported doing nicely. It is the earnest hope of her many friends that she will soon recover. Mrs. Mayme Lindell Smith and little daughter Dimples, are back from Phoenix, for an indefinite stay. Mrs. B. J. Folkerson is very sick suffering with rheumatism, but is able to be up; it is hoped that she will soon recover. Rev. Draper, pastor, of the A. M. E. Z. church, has been very sick but was able to attend services Sunday. Rev. Clark, presiding elder, held his quarterly conference, having preached two able sermons Sunday. The full assessment was raised for the quarter. Because of the severe illness of Rev. Draper, the reporter has been unable to get the reports of the convocation. We regret that Rev. Draper reports that he was very sick throughout his visit at the convocation. Miss Anita Coleman of this city, attempted a suicidal act by pulling the trigger of a pistol which sent a bullet into her body above the lung, lodging in the skin over the shoulder. The bullet had to be extracted by a physician who was called soon after the almost fatal wound was inflicted. It is reported that the act was the outcome of despondency. Mr. George Rodgers, prominent business man of Phoenix, president of the Western Mutual Benefit Association, made a quick business trip to Prescott. He was the guest of Thos. E Hines and wife. His visit was in the interest of the giant insurance company of which he is the head. He has an agency in Prescott, handled by Mrs. H. C. Flowers. He reports the list of policy holders growing in leaps of the Camp Recreation Service. Major W. E. Selbie, R. O. Sgt. Herman O'Neal, steward, David W. Adams, stage director and manager. GOV. OF LOUISANA IS STRONG AGAINST KU KLUX KLAN ORDER GOV. OF LOUISANA IS STRONG AGAINST KU KLUX KLAN ORDER Special to The Tribune Special to The Tribune Baton Rouge, La., April 7—Gov. Parker today issued an appeal to the law officers of Louisiana to suppress with an iron hand the Ku Klux Klan where they are seeking to supplant the machinery of justice. In his appeal the Governor says: "In view of the repeated complaints which have come to me from various sections of the state, I now call upon all officers of the state to suppress with an iron hand the evil of Ku Kluxism wherever it raises its head and, at the approaching session of the legislature, will appeal to that body in the name of order and good government to enact a law, making it a felony for any man to hide behind a mask to drag the good name of this state in the mire, to bring contempt for law and civilization. Where great evils exist, honest men and brave men will stand in the open fearlessly to see they are corrected with no need of disguise." HEAD OF U. B. F'S IN ARKANSAS KILLED BY NEGRO DRUGGIST HEAD OF U. B. F'S IN ARKANSAS KILLED BY NEGRO DRUGGIST Special to The Tribune Pine Bluff, Ark., April 7.—C. P. McClerkin, grand master of the United Brotherhood of Friendship of Arkansas, former teacher at the Branch Normal College and one of the best known Negroes in Pine Bluff was shot and killed shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon by W. E. O'Bryant, Negro proprietor of O'Bryant's Pharmacy at 218 State street in the drug store. The killing was the result of an argument over the name of one of the pitchers in the ball game here yesterday between the Boston Red Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates. McClerkin was shot in the left shoulder and the ball ranged downward and entered the heart. He died almost instantly. After the shooting O'Bryant went to the police station where he surrendered saying: "I have just shot my best friend but I had to dot it because he started at me with a chair." O'Bryant was locked in a cell and refused to make any further statement. and bounds; several having been added to the list during his brief visit.

This question has been asked by thousands of fight fans with reference to the champion's persistent series of alibis about opening a way to permit Harry Wills to prove that Dempsey is worthy of his title. The Chicago Tribune in a leading editorial proceeds to "pooh pooh, at Jack in the following cynical tone: "Dempsey says that there is no use talking about a fight with Harry Wills, the brunette mauler. The public, whatever that is, has no interest in it and would not pay to see it, he say. We think Mr. Dempsey underestimates public curiosity. A great many people would like to know whether he is heavyweight champion of the world or white heavyweight champion. We shall assume that he is white heavyweight champion until he gets into a ring with Wills and proves otherwise. "P. S. The reason Dempsey does not fight Wills is because he is afraid to do so—not physically afraid to exchange wallops but afraid to take a chance with his title and the money he can make with it. "P. P. S. Why the dickens do we keep on writing prize fight editorials and causing grief to sober minded citizens? It isn't to lead the second ward away from Mayor Thompson. The second ward would like to have Dempsey fight Wills but we are not engaged in political maneuvers. "We write prize fight editorials because prize fighting interests people. Prize fighting is the most interesting subject to male citizens of voting age in the United States—bar one. That is the Volstead act. Eliminate Dempsey and Volstead from the conversation of the average male gathering and without learning the deaf and dumb alphabet the men could say all they had to say with their fingers, especially about the Pacific treaties, the Genoa conference and the coal strike and the condition of justice in Chicago. People really are very funny people." (Associated Negro Press) Plainfield, N. J., March 4.—Last Wednesday afternoon Jack Johnson, ex-champion prize fighter, filed a bond in the court court guaranteeing payment of claims aggregating $633.92 made by New York theatrical concerns. The local officers refused Johnson a permit to box here because he had received no permit from the Boxing Commission. WARNING! Oily to bed And ally to rise, Is the fate of a man When a motor he buys.

Let us further hope our being of a race without a historical save for us of America any sting. Frequently it is cited that our race is the only one in America without an inspiring historical background. All the European races—even those of Southern Europe, that are sometimes considered as undesirable citizens—hail from lands where they have had their own customs, institutions, crafts and literature. This is true. All the races coming from the Orient can boast of ancient civilization. Of us alone it is said that we have added nothing to civilization. This criticism stings—what race wants to be a parasite of civilization? Our leaders, in times past, have met this criticism by glorifying the color in every land—and they are not a few. This defense does not bear water; a whole race is indicated as not contributing to the march of civilization. Thanks to the Harvard party of excavators, who have uncovered ancient cities of that ancient state of Ethiopia along the Nile. Did they discover some degenerate and barbarous state, that has ceased to be? No! Never! From every angle the discoveries made plain that here lay in the dust a great kingdom that had played its large part in the world affairs and had ceased to be. It all seemed to say that Africa is truly the mother of civilization; and Africans have played their part in the affairs of the world. Now we can say with our heads erect we, too, have contributed to the building up of civilization. We are more than recipients of its blessings. Even if we lacked this knowledge there is no reason in the world why we should be ashamed of Africa's part among continents. Conditions in Africa have always been painted in dull colors, to justify the exploitation of the Africans. Among Africans there has been a long line of resourceful and statesmanlike leaders and warriors. This people have produced their own songs and stories and craftmanship. They have the secret of the wonderful medicinal powers of certain plants; they know the chemistry of delicate dyeing that even Germany covets to know. They have certain customs for the training of the young that well might be imitated; and they possess a philosophy of life that gives a far greater peace of mind than that of Europe and America. Such studies as that of the late Natalie Curtis Burlin and Samingo reveal the African in the light of a creator of song and story and proverbs. All studies and all researches, aiming to show the African as he is, not as he has been pictured, will go a long way in compelling the world to respect Africa's contribution to civilization. Let us hope that the African himself will not be so Anglo-Saxonized in mind as to be ashamed of all things African; but that his growing self-respect will mean the integrity of African institutions, and African lore. Let us further hope that the accusation of our being of a race without a historical background will never have for us of America any sting. groves last summer held a grand demo and gave symptoms of standing up for the groo has been the most wronged figure in him, the Irishman has been, yet might be the reason he has always carried the white the white man is superior.

The Negro has been the most wronged figure in history. Compared to him, the Irishman has been, yet might say, coddled. For some reason he has always carried the white man's burden. For the white man is superior. He himself admits it. White men have even circulated the story of Ham, son of Noah, that he made fun of his father who had got drunk and kicked off the covers. That may not have been nice of Ham, but it was hardly serious enough to warrant cursing his posterity for thousands of years. Even in white folk's fiction the Negro gets the worst of it. Every time Robinson Crusoe meets Friday in the wilderness it is the black man who carries the wood and the white man who carries the gun. The Negroes once lived in Africa, a large continent containing a fifth or sixth of the earth's area. There, according to the 14 points, they ought to have had some say as to how they were to be governed. They have not. They never came over to bother the whites; the whites came over to bother them. They came as explorers, profiteers, slave dealers, rum peddlers, government officials and missionaries. In their native land the Negroes lived at peace in the bosom of their families, under their palm trees, and played around in a costume which was much more rational for hot weather than any kind of clothes permitted in New Jersey. They had their medicine men who chanted their own lingo, even as ours talk Latin, and gave powdered elephant ears and grasshoppers' knees for bowel complaint, even as ours gave their more expensive dope, and with about the same success. At least they all died after a while anyhow, even as our forefathers. PAGE TWO Key to Happiness Published Every Type Entered as Second-Class Business Office Managing Editor ... One Year ...

They beat their tom-toms and wriggled their tum-tums, as also our jazz orchestras perform and our young folks shimmy and fox-trot. They had their sorscrers and others whom they paid to humbug them, even as we have our own blatherskites. They made war when they were hungry and needed food, fun and women. We make war for no reason at all, and do not even eat our foes. It is a wonder Ham has stood for his abuse as long as he has. He now protests against lynching, that is against being hung by amateurs and not professionals. I am for Africa for the Africans, Ireland for the Irish, and New York for the Jews.

Brown, druggist, vice president and C. W. Comer, manager of the Favorite Music Shop treasurer. THE GREEN PEA PIRATES goes under navy discipline from now on. Am I right?" "Right as a right whale," said Captain Scriggs. "And now that you've given that old mate of mine the course, and we've temporarily plugged up the holes in this here Mexican gunboat, and everything points to a safe and profitable voyage from now on, suppose you delegate me as a committee of one to brew a scuttle of grog, after which the syndicate holds a mettin' and lays out a course for its future conduct. There's a few questions of rank and privileges that ought to be settled once and for all, so there can't be no come-back." "The point is well taken and it is so ordered," said Mr. Gibney, who had once held office in Harbor 15, Master and Pilots Association of America, and knew a fragment or two of parliamentary law. "Rustie up the grog, call McGuffey up out of the engine room, and we'll hold the meetin'." Twenty minutes later Scraggs' came on deck to announce the successful concoction of a kettle of whisky punch; whereupon the three adventurers went below and sat down at the cabin table for a conference. "I move that Gib be appointed president of the syndicate," said Captain Scraggs. "Second the motion," rumbled McGuffey. "The motion's carried," said Mr. Gibney, and banged the table with his horny fist. "The meetin' will please come to order. The chair hereby appoints Phineas Scraggs secretary of the syndicate, to keep a record of this and all future meetin's of the board. I will now entertain propositions of any and all natures, and I invite the members of the board to knock the stopper out of their jaw tackle and go to it." "I move," said Captain Scraggs, "that B. McGuffey, Esquire, be, and he is hereby appointed, chief engineer of the Maggie II at a salary not to exceed the wage schedule of the Marine Engineers' Association of the Pacific coast, and that he be voted a one-fourth interest in the vessel and all subsequent profits." "Second the motion," said Mr. Gibney, "and not to hamper the business of the meetin', we'll just consider that motion carried unanimous." B. McGuffey, Esquire, rose, bowed his thanks, and sat down again, apparently very much confused. It was evident that he had something to say, but was having difficulty framing his thoughts in parliamentary language. "Heave away, Mac," said Mr. Gibney. "Cast off your lines, McGuffey," chirped Scraggs. Thus encouraged, McGuffey rose, bowed his thanks once more, moistened his larny with a gulp of the punch, and spoke: "Feller members and brothers of the syndicate: In the management of the deck department of this new craft of ourn, my previous knowledge of the worthy president and the unworthy secretary leads me to believe that there's goin' to be trouble. A ship divided agin herself must surely go on her beam ends. Now, Scraggsy here has been master so long that the juice of authority has sorter soaked into his marrier bones. For twenty years it's been 'Howdy do, Captain Scraggs', 'Have a drink, Captain Scraggs', 'Captain Scraggs this an' Captain Scraggs that.' I don't mean no offense, gentlemen, when I state that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. No man that's ever been a master makes a good mate. On the other hand, I realize that Gib here has been a-pantin' and a-bellyachin' all his life to get a ship of his own an' have folks call him 'Captain Gibney'. Now that he's gone an' done it, I say he's entitled to it. But the fact of the whole thing is, Gib's the natural leader of the expedition or whatever it's goin' to be, and he can't have his peace of mind wrecked and his plans disturbed a-chasin' sailors around the deck of the Maggie II. Gib is sorter, what the feller calls the power behind the throne. He's too big a figger for the grade of captain. Therefore, I move you, gentlemen, that Adelbert P. Gibney be, and is hereby nominated and appointed to the grade of commodore, in full command and supervision of all of the property of the syndicate. And I also move that Phineas Scraggs be appointed chief navigatin' officer of this packet, to retain his title of captain, and to be obeyed and respected as such by every man aboard with the exception of me and Gib. The present mate'll do the navigatin' while Scraggsy's learnin' the deep sea stuff." "Second the motion," said Captain Scraggs briskly. "McGuffey, your argument does you a heap of credit. It's—it's—dog my cats, McGuffey, it's masterly. It shows a keen appreciation of an old skipper's feelin's, and if the move is agreeable to Gib, I willin' to hall him as commodore and fight to maintain his office. I—I dunno, Gib, what I'd do if I didn't have a mate to order around." "Gentlemen," said Mr. Gibney, beaming, "the motion's carried unanimous. Captain—chief—your fins. Dook me. I'm honored by the handshake. Now, regarding that crew you brought down from San Francisco on the old Maggle, Scraggs, they're a likely lot and will come in handy if times is as live in Colombia as I figger they will be when we arrive there. Captain Scraggs, you will have your mate pipe the crew to muster and ascertain their feelin's on the subject of takin' a chance with Commodore Gibney. If they object to goin' further, we'll land 'em in Panama an' pay 'em off as agreed. If they feel like followin' the Jolly Roger we'll give 'em the coast seaman's scale for a deep-water cruise (Continued Next Issue) Saturday, April 8, 1922 EAT YOUR MEALS at EVERYBODY'S CAFE 138 E.
