IF YOU SEE IT IN THE TRIBUNE IT'S SO Phoenix Tribune Key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes MOB RULE STILL IS QUITE POPULAR IN STATE OF GEORGIA (Special to The Tribune) MACON, Ga., Aug. 18—"Lynch Law Must Go." They are still at it in Georgia, which seems destined to sink to much lower levels in the scale of civilization. An extra heavy guard was ready to be thrown around the Bibb county jail to protect three men held in connection with the murder of several months ago of A. L. Allgood, a street car conductor. The guard was assembled early when the word that several hundred persons had gathered in Central City park and were planning an attack on the county jail. Later reports, said, however, that the crowd had dispersed without making any sort of demonstration. Fear Race Riot The precautionary steps followed a day of excitement in Macon and uneasiness on the part of the authorities, who expressed fears of a serious race clash growing out of the lynching at Holton, near here, of John Glover, charged with the murder here of Deputy Sheriff Walter C. Byrd. Glover was taken from an Atlanta train at Griffin and shot to death. Scenes of disorer and the display of uncertain temperaments were witnessed when the body was brought back to Macon and dumped into the street in front of a colored theater, where it remained in a half upright position for some time. Men of all ages jammed into Broadway and fought their way to the body, seeking souliers. Will Probe Lynching Officers believe that the prompt closing of the business section of Broadway, the scene of the recent disorders in which Deputy Byrd was killed, prevented a race clash. Judge W. E. H. Searcy of the Monroe circuit announced that he would call a special session of the grand jury at Forsyth for the fourth Monday in August to investigate the lynching of Glover.

REPUBLICAN PARTY ABOUT TO FALL DOWN ON ITS PROMISES (Special to The Tribune) BALTIMORE, Md., Aug 18. In commenting on what has been accomplished by the Harding administration the Balitomre Afro-American in a pointed editorial under the caption of "Making a Mess of It," takes issue with the New York World: "The New York World remarks that President Harding and the Republican congress have made a mess of everything. "This is not altogether true. "One thing, however, the Harding administration is making a mess of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Sixty-four lynchings last year, is the record of the mob's toll. A president and a congress pledged to pass anti-lynching legislation, hems and haws on the issue as if no such pledge existed. The house passed the bill and the senate pigeon-holed it from January, 1922, to date. "The passage of the Dyer bill is up to the Republican party. It has made its pledge. So far as the Afro-American is concerned. No Republican candidate for national office need expect support until the party carries out its pledge to put anti-lynching legislation on the statute books.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1922 MITCHELL'S BANK WILL REOPEN SOON SAYS LATE REPORT Richmond, Va., Aug. 18.—The Mechanics Savings Bank, John Mitchell, president, which was closed will reopen for business in a few days, according to information given The Associated Negro Press. The white banks of Richmond, as a group, agreed through the clearing house association to put up any amount needed to reopen the bank, up to the amount of $100,000, provided the necessary security was offered. President Mitchell and his associates have assured them that the security is available. Mr. Mitchell, it is stated will take personal charge, devoting full-time to its management. Not only the white banks and financial interests of the city have come to the assistance of the bank, but colored banks, business men and the public general have volunteered their aid in any way it should be needed. The Mechanics Savings Bank, according to President Mitchell, has emple assets to discharge all the banks obligations. There is no evidence or indication of anything irregular in the management of the bank's affairs. The fact that the bank held real estate contrary to the rules of the department resulted in a recent order requiring an adjustment of this condition, to meet with the bank's real estate was conveyed the Bonded Realty Co., whose officers of the bank and mortgage notes taken by the bank for the same. There were $83,000 of these notes, which appeared to the department not to be secured by real estate assets. Before Mr. Mitchell could reach a satisfactory understanding with the department as to the status of these notes the order to close was issued. FT. WHIPPLE Messrs.

C., Aug. 18.—Discussing the necessity for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, Mr. H. E. Barnett, a Virginian, has the following to say: "As a former Virginian I have bowed my head in shame at the atrocities of the Southland. Years ago I viewed the victim of a mob hanging by the neck from an apple tree. He was gagged, his clothes torn and his skin lacerated and bruised b the stones over which he had been dragged. "The sight sent cold chills through me. I saw him many nights after in my dreams. It was a scene I shall never forget; and yet all, except the members of the victim's race, prattled and giggled as if nothing unusual had happened. "Later in the day the body of the victim was cut down, and the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that the victim had come to his death at the hands of persons unknown—yet well known—to the jury. "When men by whom the law is enacted for the betterment of the community, fail to uphold it, and become violators of the code under which society in the state is to be governed, then the general government should step forward and vindicate the order of civilization and pass such a bill as the Dyer anti-lynching bill, whether it is thought by pettifoggers to be constitutional or not. Human rights are superior to state rights." By Mr.s R. B. Roan Mr. J. C. Cooper was a pleasant visitor in Mesa Sunday, after an absence of nearly two years.

This feature closed the program, and all went away wishing the U. N. I. A. much success. Mesa may look dead, but touch her if you please and you will find her to be a "live wire" Ask Judge Robt. L. Fortune of Phoenix, he knows. Mrs. Erma Joseph of Phoenix is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Ed Turner on North Morris street.

In further token of their respect for him, gave him a purse of a few dollars less than a thousand. This is the biggest manifestation yet on a Texas Negro that we have any knowledge of.

Said Mr. White: "At Westfield, N. J., a colored golf club has been established ant a nine hole course laid out. A colored colony there seems to warrant the golf course. The item that this course is laid out will cause a million gigles to sizzle across the country. Cartoonists will make funny pictures of it. Something exquisitely funny seems to excite the white race when it sees the colored race doing things which are ordinary parts of the day's work and play to the white people. It is as though the elephant should drive an auto or a horse play the piano. "The reason for this visibility of the white man at the black man's human activities is obvious and it is no credit to the white man. He thinks it is funny to see the black man doing things that normal human beings do because the white man does not think of his dark-skinned fellow-traveller on the planet as a human companion. The white man considers any colored man—black, brown, red, yellow, or maroon as an animal. The anthropological conceit of the white man is ponderous, unbelievable, vastly amusing to the gods. "Why should not the black man play golf if his economic status gives him leisure for golf? Why should he not have a motor car and a country house if he can afford it? Why giggle at the normal activities of men whose skin differs from our own? Something of the same psychological reason is being the fact that we middle class people make merry over the fact the worker in the mines or shops or furnace wears a silk shirt or rents a house with a bath or rides to work in a car. Why shouldn't he? Is he an elephant doing stunts? Is he a horse playing a piano. What's the joke if he develops the same desires and aspirations that we do" And who in God's name are we, anyway? PRIZE FIGHTER IS SHOT IN ABDOMEN BY A TAXI DRIVER (Special to The Tribune) CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—John Pate, a pugilist trainer and former prize fighter, was shot in the abdomen but not seriously wounded when he resented the remarks of a colored man concerning his companion.

INTELLECTUAL ATTAINMENT. it is always the true measure of progress advancement of the Negroes has been the standpoint of economics. 500 per cent of the colored population, 500 per cent was illiterate, a gain of 20 years. At this rate of improvement some time when there will be practically no cases in America. Education is by no means limited to give proportionately measures up to the high educational and professional learning. Where liberated, the Negroes had one school; now, they have 500. Then, the public schools; now, they have 1,800 years ago, there were about 600 Negroes 200. The value of property for him at $60,000; now, such property owned 2,000. The annual expenditures for about $700,000; now it is about $1,500;atures the Negroes raised, then, $80,000; about $1,700,000. Educate School" system in the south states attending the same school, while a hardship upon the Negroes' distinct advantage to the colored race the Negroes in the south to be educated at the necessity of providing the means last, it was necessary for them to be per capita part of the public school the Negro schools, and while distinguishe race demonstrate their ability to educated or else their aspiration to means of their education in the south at. If they succeeded, the facts and figure of scholarship by many Negroes average of information and intellect south, give emphatic testimony. The schools, colleges and universities in the educational circles of the nation the Negroes with gratitude acknowledge from their white friends. The Clinton B. Fisk, together with that one who founded the great Fisk Tennessee, and the other who has done education in the south, have become his land. The names of many other be mentioned for conspicuous aid to the years of progress has demonstrated not an experiment. There is no longer as a class being able to master art and sciences; creative and imaginative fervent in spirit, he excels in much future possibilities by past achievement within another fifty years, in intenation culture, this strain of blood is no other. Education is always the true measure of progress. From this viewpoint advancement of the Negroes has been even greater than from the standpoint of economics. In 1866, 90 per cent of the colored population was illiterate; in 1919 only 20 per cent was illiterate, a gain of 70 per cent in literacy in 50 years. At this rate of improvement it is a question of but little time when there will be practically no illiteracy among Negroes in America. Negro education is by no means limited to grammar school courses, but proportionately measures up to the higher standards of academic, vocational and professional learning. When they were liberated, the Negroes had only 15 colleges and normal schools; now, they have 500. Then, they had 100,000 students in public schools; now, they have 1,800,000. In all schools 50 years ago, there were about 600 Negro teachers; now there are 38,000. The value of property for higher education then was about $60,000; now, such property owned by Negroes is worth $22,000,000. The annual expenditures for Negro education then was about $700,000; now it is about $15,000,000. Of these expenditures the Negroes raised, then, $80,000; they raise annually now about $1,700,000. The "Seperate School" system in the south which forbids blacks and whites attending the same school, colleges, universities, etc. while a hardship upon the Negroes, has not been without its distinct advantage to the colored race, in the long run. Were the Negroes in the south to be educated at all, they were forced to the necessity of providing the means of their own education; at last, it was necessary for them to have seperate schools. While the per capita part of the public school funds were available for the Negro schools, and while distinguished individuals of the white race demonstrate their ability to "Educate" and to become educated or else their aspiration to main tain and enlarge the means of their education in the south was doomed to disappointment. How well they succeeded, the facts and figures, the distinguished attainment of scholarship by many Negro individuals and the general average of information and intelligence among Negroes in the south, give emphatic testimony. The high standing of Negro schools, colleges and universities in the south is unquestioned in the educational circles of the nation. Of course, the Negroes with gratitude acknowledge the help they have received from their white friends. The name of the late General Clinton B. Fisk, together with that of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the one who founded the great Fisk university at Nashville, Tennessee, and the other who has done so much to aid Negro education in the south, have become household words throughout the land. The names of many others, did space permit, might be mentioned for conspicuous aid to Negro education. This fifty years of progress has demonstrated that Negro education is not an experiment. There is no longer any question of the Negro, as a class being able to master and successfully apply the arts and sciences; creative and imaginative, gifted in expression and fervent in spirit, he excells in music, poetry and oratory. Estimating future possibilities by past achievements in Negro education, within another fifty years, in intellectual attainment and education culture, this strain of blood in America will be second to no other.

The growing a ca should attract the attention of f. The recent gains by that organiz are long, the big question of the na regular constituted authorities Local, state or national constituted authorities should not for one moment relax their efforts to swat the Ku Klux Klan wherever that monstrous organization shows its head. The statement that it is one-hundred per cent American, is in reality, much nearer one-hundred per cent criminal. Their purpose being to overthrow the law. Religious and racial prejudices are the fertile soil upon which the organization thrives. The growing menace of the Klan in America should attract the attention of the best minds of the nation. The recent gains by that organization in politics indicate that are long, the big question of the nation will be as to whether the regular constituted authorities shall rule or whether the self-styled prosecutor, judge and jury shall rule. The reason for wanting their members elected to office is very evident. They want absolute protection when they commit crime. Nothing would suit a tarring party better than to be brought before one of their number, whose duty it was to enforce the law. Warning is hereby given to all citizens who stand for law and order to swat the Ku Klux Klan, whenever, and wherever they show their head, branding it at the same time as a menace to civilization. According to a recent report, from the U. S. agricultural department, more than 14,000 Negro farmers in southern states raised 90,000 acres of corn. Because the men of France were killed off in such large numbers as to seriously disturb the ratio of the sexes in that country, many French Catholic priests are marrying.

MOSHER IN RACE FOR STATE SENATOR MARICOPA COUNTY In this issue of The Tribune, Mrs. H. L. Mosher announces her candidacy for State Senator from Maricopa County, subject to the Democratic primaries, September 12. Mrs. Mosher is a heavy taxpayer in this city and county, and will make the race for the Senate on a platform of efficiency and economy. Her motto is: "Babies and Ranchers First," and she will work to reduce taxes in order that these may survive. Mrs. Mosher has been a resident of Arizona since childhood, and having acquired considerable property, is well informed as to the needs of the state in general. She is known as an untiring worker, and having made a success of her own business, feels that she is qualified to represent Maricopa County in the State Senate and point the way to freedom from tax burdens. Economy in the expenditure of public money is one of the main things for which she will work, and asks the support of all voters in the general election. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING The CROSS-CUT by Courtney Ryley Cooper COPYRIGHT BY LITTLE, BROWN & CO. ILLUSTRATIONS by R.B. Van Nice CHAPTER I. It was over. The rambling house, with its rickety, old-fashioned furniture—and its memories—was now deserted, except for Robert Fairchild, and he was deserted within it, wandering from room to room staring at familiar objects with the unfamiliar gaze of one whose vision suddenly has been warped by the visitation of death and the sense of loneliness that it brings. Loneliness, rather than grief, for it had been Robert Fairchild's promise that he would not suffer in heart for one who had longed to go into a peace for which he had waited, seemingly in vain. Year after year, Thornton Fairchild had sat in the big armchair by the windows, watching the days grow old and fade into night, studying sunset after sunset, volcing the vain hope that the gloaming might bring the twilight of his own existence—a silent man except for this, rarely speaking of the past, never giving to the son who worked for him, cared for him, worshiped him, the slightest inkling of what might have happened in the dim days of the long ago to transform him into a beaten thing, longing for the final surcease. And when the end came, it found him in readiness, waiting in the big armchair by the windows. Even now, a book lay on the frayed carpeting of the old room, where it had fallen from relaxing fingers. Robert Fairchild picked it up, and with a sigh restored it to the grim, fumed oak case. His days of petty sacrifices that his father might while away the weary hours with reading were over. What had been the past? Why the silence? Why the patient, yet impatient wait for death? The son did not know. In all his memories was only one faint picture, painted years before in babyhood: the return of his father from some place, he knew not where, a long conference with his mother behind closed doors, while he, in childlike curiosity, waited without, seeking in vain to catch some explanation. Then a sad-faced woman who cried at night when the house was still, who faded and who died. That was all. The picture carried no explanation. And now Robert Fairchild stood on the threshold of something he almost feared to learn. Once, on a black, stormy night, they had sat together, father and son before the fire, silent for hours. Then the hand of the white-haired man had reached outward and rested for a moment on the young man's knee. "I wrote something to you, Boy, a day or so ago," he had said. "That little illness I had prompted me to do it. I—I thought it was only fair to you. After I'm gone, look in the safe. You'll find the combination on a piece of paper hidden in a hole cut in that old European history in the bookcase. I have your promise. I know—that you'll not do it until after I'm gone." Now Thornton Fairchild was gone. But a message had remained behind; one which the patient lips evidently had feared to utter during life. The heart of the son began to pound, slow and hard, as, with the memory of that conversation, he turned toward the bookcase and unlatched the paneled door. A moment more and the hollowed history had given up its trust, a bit of paper scratched with numbers. Robert Fairchild turned toward the stairs and the small room on the second floor which had served as his father's bedroom. There he hesitated before the little iron safe in the corner, summoning the courage to unlock the doors of a dead man's past. The safe had not been opened in years; that was evident from the creaking of the plungers as they fell, the gummy resistance of the knob as Falchild turned it in accordance with the directions on the paper. Finally, a great wrench, and the bolt was drawn grudgingly back; a strong pull, and the safe opened. Fairchild crouched for a moment, staring, before he reached for the thinner of two envelopes which lay before him. A moment later he straightened and turned toward the light. A crinkling of paper, a quick-drawn sigh between clenched teeth; it was a letter; his strange, quiet, hunted-appearing father was talking to him through the medium of ink and paper, after death. He read: "My Son: "Before I begin this letter to you I must ask that you take no action whatever until you have seen my attorney—he will be yours from now on. I have never mentioned him to you before; it was not necessary and would only have brought you curiosity which I could not have satisfied. But now, I am afraid, the doors must be unlocked. I am gone. You are young; you have been a faithful son and you are deserving of every good fortune that may possibly come to you. I am praying that the years have made a difference, and that Fortune may smile upon you as she frowned on me. Certainly, she can injure me no longer. My race is run; I am beyond earthly fortunes. "Therefore, when you have finished with this, take the deeds inclosed in the larger envelope and go to St. Louis. There, look up Henry F. Beamish, attorney-at-law, in the Princess building. He will explain them to you. "Beyond this, I fear, there is little that can aid you. I cannot find the strength, now that I face it, to tell you what you may find if you follow the lure that the other envelope holds forth to you. "There is always the hope that Fortune may be kind to me at last, and smile upon my memory by never letting you know why I have been the sort of man you have known, and not the jovial, genial companion that a father should be. But there are certain things, my son, which defeat a man. Therefore is it not better that it remain behind a cloud until such time as Fortune may reveal it—and hope that such a time will never come? I think so—not for myself, for when you read this, I shall be gone; but for you, that you may not be handicapped by the knowledge of the thing which whitened my hair and aged me, long before my time. "If he lives, and I am sure he does, there is one who will hurry to your aid as soon as he knows you need him. Accept his counsels, laugh at his little eccentricities if you will, but follow his judgment implicitly. Above all, ask him no questions that he does not care to answer—there are things that he may not deem wise to tell. It is only fair that he be given the right to choose his disclosures. "There is little more to say. Beamish will attend to everything for you—if you care to go. Sell everything that is here; the house, the furniture, the belongings. It is my wish, and you will need the capital—if you go. And if circumstances should arise to bring before you the story of that which has caused me so much darkness, I have nothing to say in self." VAN NIEF "I Made One mistake—That of Fear." extenuation. I made one mistake—that of fear—and in committing one error. I shouldered every blame. It makes little difference now. I am dead—and free. "My love to you, my son. I hope that wealth and happiness await you. Blood of my blood flows in your veins—and strange though it may sound to you—it is the blood of an adventurer. They say, once in the blood, it never dies. My wish is that you succeed where I failed—and God be with you! "YOUR FATHER." For a long moment Robert Fairchild stood staring at the letter, his heart pounding with excitement, his hands grasping the foolscap paper as though with a desire to tear through the shield which the written words had formed about a mysterious past and disclose that which was so effectively hidden. So much had the letter told—and yet so little! Dark had been the hints of some mysterious, intangible thing, great enough in its horror and its far-reaching consequences to cause death for one who had known of it and a living panic for him who had perpetrated it. In that super-calmness which accompanies great agitation, Fairchild folded the paper, placed it in its envelope, then slipped it into an inside pocket. A few steps and he was before the safe once more and reaching for the second envelope. Heavy and bulky was this, filled with tax receipts, with plats and blueprints and the reports of surveyors.

Never in the annals of ring history has a heavyweight fight between colored is assumed the proportions of this match, now practically assured. The fight is to go 15 rounds, to 2 decision, but few persons, who know the quality of the two men, expect the fight to go the entire distance. Dave Driscoll straightened things out with the New York Boxing Commission after Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills had expressed his satisfaction over the terms. Had Been Hanging Fire The contest had been hanging fire for many weeks prior to Wills' signing, and McGarney had practically given up hope when he wrote his article in the New York Sun which resulted in a signed document being sent to Chairman William Muldoon. The bout looms as the most important heavyweight match since the Dempsey-Carpentier affair at Boyle's Thirty Acres last July one year ago, and the question now being propounded is "can Tutt Jackson, with his wonderful knockout record, give Harry Wills the acid test?" There is hardly a question of doubt, but what the Busckeye youth, with his natural ability, ranks as the most formidable opponent of Wills on the fistic horizon. Six, feet, two inches in height, weighing close to 200 pounds of sinew and muscles, he is said to be one of the hardest hitters in the heavyweight M. Learn the Madam C. J.

At least that is what the men, who have fallen before his ox-like blows, declare. But "Tutt" is an ever-present example of the theory oft related in pugilistic circles, that the best defense is a good offense. On the other hand, it is generally conceded that Wills has never been forced to extend himself to the utmost of his ability, and this fight, coming while the Dempsey-Wills match is still on the griddle might aid in crystallizing public sentiment to such an extent that Dempsey will be literally forced into a ring with Wills. Wills 'ability is well known, and his wonderful improvement lately would seem to give the lie to the rumor that he has seen his best days.

Sir:—Feeling that my poetical talent has been damaged to the extent of $50,000,000, which I know is only pocket change for you, and really, I don't need the money, but something must be done for infringement of my right without even apologies to me, so I ask you to accept one of these challenges: On the 31st day of February, we will meet in the middle of Washington street at Central avenue; you go north to the old Country club and I will go south to the extreme end of the Center street bridge, and at 2:30 a. m., when we reach our destination, we shall each count nine, take out our revolvers and shoot it out. But if you are afraid this will disturb some of the early morning sleepers, you may accept the second challenge, which is as follows: Suppose you and I join hands, run seven miles east on the Tempe road and back, and on our return, fight 10 rounds with boxing gloves.

Aug. 18.—If Tex Richard is successful in finally landing the proposed heavyweight championship match between Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey, it is certain he will not stage the affair at Boyle's Thirty Acres here. State Commissioner McNair, of the New Jersey Boxing Commission is reported to have said: "I have always opposed a fight being held in New Jersey between Jack Dempsey, who is a white man, and Harry Wills, the colored fighter. "However, the ministers of this state are not so much opposed to the staging of the fight between Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler as they are against the proposed bout between Dempsey and Wills, and for that reason they intend, so I am told, a far more bitter argument against the holding of a mixed bout for the heavyweight championship. "Personally, I think Dempsey and Wills should settle their differences in a state aside from New Jersey, and I intend to do all in my power to prevent staging the bout here." The attitude of the New Jersey Boxing Commissioner is but another effort to find a loophole through which Dempsey may jump to keep from meeting Get Married Many refined colored men and women seeking early marriage through the CREOLE CORRESPONDENCE CLUB.

It would seem to the casual observer that there is a concerted movement on foot to assure the white race of maintaining the title belt for heavy-weights. The constant dodging of Dempsey himself and the strategic moves of his many white friends are but indications that they fear the crown will pass to a colored man if Dempsey should meet Wills in a championship bout.
