IF YOU SEE IT IN THE TRIBUNE IT'S SO Phoenix Tribune Key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes EDITOR GETS BEST OF GOV'T EMPLOYEE IN REAL FIST FIGHT EDITOR GETS BEST OF GOV'T EMPLOYEE IN REAL FIST FIGHT (Special To The Tribune) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8—One of the recent happenings at the Capitol City which has quietly been the subject of much gossip among the greater and lesser lights, was the settling of a controversy between Editor J. Finley Wilson of the Washington Eagle and Phil H. Brown, who holds the position in the Department of Labor as "Conciliator." It is said that Editor Wilson, like most of the Editors of the country, accused "Phil" of "holding up" the Editors during the time the latter had charge of the Publicity of the Republican Party at Chicago two years ago. The "holding up" as interpreted by some of the newspaper men means anything from using the money which should have gone for publicity to his own use, down to petty graft. At any rate, Phil, who weighs a little better than 200 pounds, decided a few days ago that he would make an example of Mr. Wilson that would scare the life out of the other editors who have been constantly accusing him of wrong doings, by administering a knock out blow right square in the face at first sight. When They Met Just what fate brought the two together this memorial occasion no one seems to know, except by chance, but both were ready for business. Only a few words were exchanged, during which Phil, like Goliath of old, threatened to make a supper of the Editor in short order style unless some retractions were made. But instead of retracting, Mr. Wilson, like little David, kept his eye-on Phil's "bean" and remembering his school days, ducked Phil's blow, and landed squarely between the "Giant's" eyes, following close with blows to the stomach which almost "winned" the gentleman from Kentucky. A bystander who interfered called it "Round one," whereupon the belligerants exchanged a few words which would hardly be heard in a Sunday School, and went at it in prize fighting style. Wilson this time taking the lead, landing right and left to face which brought the blood profusely from his opponents nose, whereupon Phil cried for mercy when he found himself sprawling on the ground. This ended the battle and Wilson hurried from the scene and a bystander Phil home. Strange Story Told As a result of this scrap, it is reported that Phil Brown has been confined to his room for more than a week, telling those who inquire, that an automobile accident came "darn near putting his light out." Except for a few bruises to his fist, Editor Wilson is looking for another "Giant" to attack him. Comments Commenting on the incident, one of the men who was at Chicago during Phil's administration who does not want his name mentioned, said Phil, by his double dealings got the bureau in bad, and complimented Wilson for landing a knock-out blow to Phil, adding "the sooner the race get rid of such men as Phil Brown, the better off we shall be. We need a few funerals of the right sort in times like these." WOMAN DROPS DEAD WHILE TESTIFYING ON WITNESS STAND WOMAN DROPS DEAD WHILE TESTIFYING ON WITNESS STAND (Special to The Tribune) MOBERLY, Mo.—"Judge, I don't think she may lie, but she sho' didn't tell the truth—she was jes' misinformed." This droll yet solemn reply came from the lips of John Williams, colored, in court Saturday from a feverish scene of excitement in which Mrs. Jack Williams, also colored, dropped dead in the witness chair while testifying against Williams. A heart attack caused the witness' death. Williams was charged with having disturbed the peace. He was placed on the stand after quiet was restored and asked if he thought the witness BLACK MAN MAKES FORTUNE HANDLING CITY REAL ESTATE One of the interesting features of the recent session of the National Negro Business League at Norfolk was the business talk by Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass. His talk was inspiring and helpful to all who heard him. Naturally the presence of a Negro millionaire in any audience causes a thrill of joyful surprise and expectancy. Editor Moore stated that Watt Terry, who came from Brockton, Mass., to New York City some five or six years ago, now owns in 140th Street fifteen apartment houses with 1576 rooms and in other parts of Harlem fifteen apartment houses and stores which furnish shelter for over 11,000 Negroes. "The values of Watt Terry's properties in Brockton and New York," he said, "are worth $2,300,000." Watt Terry made a very favorable impression on the great audience which had assembled in the Attucks Theatre, on account of his modesty, his candor, and his common sense. "Almost everyone," he said, "can become a property owner, provided he is willing to pay the price in sacrifice. Standing on the street corners, idling in pool rooms, spending time in questionable resorts have never helped anybody purchase property. We need in the Negro race more honest leaders. Negroes have suffered too many losses through so-called leaders. The National Negro Business League has always condemned the floating of worthless stock among Negroes." Recently this Negro millionaire subscribed $500 to the Y. M. C. A.; $500 to the National Negro Business League and $5000 for the rebuilding of his old church in Brockton. SCHUMANN-HEINK RENTS HER HOME TO BLACK MUSICIANS SCHUMANN-HEINK RENTS HER HOME TO BLACK MUSICIANS (Special to The Tribune) CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 8.—Mme Ernestine Schumann-Heink, the world-famous contralto singer and patroness of the Chicago University of Music, located in her former home at East 37th street and So. Michigan avenue, passed through the city Saturday en route from her present home in San Diego, Calif., to New York, where she will fill a number of concert engagements. In the Auditorium hotel, where she stopped over for a few hours with her daughter and three grandchildren, the singer confirmed for the white press the report that she had leased her home in the interest of colored musicians. Further than that, she said: "I expect to be criticised by some for turning my home over to and patronizing colored people, but I don't care. Negroes are real Americans, and we are in duty bound to treat them as human. "I am independent and have no fears. As I stood by the soldier boys, I will stand by the colored folk. If we would treat them right we wouldn't have strikes and crime, and we would not be the laughing stock of the world. "We should give the Negroes a chance to develop instead of welcoming with open arms Russian radicals and other foreigners who, in many instances, do our country more harm than good. "Look at the great men and women the South has produced. As babies they were all cared for by colored nurses. It hurts me to see strangers in my home, but it has been vacant for two years, and with some one in it now it will be cared for." A Sweet Maid She: "I've got a job as a dairy maid in a chocolate factory." had died "with a lie on her lips." Tc this came Williams' respectful reply He was released. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 KLANISM IS REAL ISSUE IN ATLANTA MAYOR'S CONTEST (Special to the Tribune) ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 8.—The Ku Klux Klan has brought a serious issue into the race for Mayor of Atlanta since Chief of Police Beavers has issued a challenge to Councilman Walter Sims, alleged Klan candidate, and to others to show their colors. "I want to challenge every one of my opponents for the office of Mayor to make public his stand on certain matters, as I am now doing." Beaver said. "I hereby announce my stand with regards to the Ku Klux Klan. I am absolutely an unalterably against any and every attempt by the Klan to control, influence or enter into politics in this city, this state or this nation. "I am firmly convinced that the influence of the Klan on the public mind is a bad influence; and I have no doubt whatever that bad actions are attributable to the Klan in this country, in this state and even in this city, though direct proof may not have been brought forward. "I am unalterably and forever an upholder of the law of the city, state and nation, untempered with by any secret order under whatever guise of aiding the officers of the law, or under whatever pose of 100 per cent Americanism. "And now I challenge each and every one of my opponents for the office of mayor to declare themselves as plainly as I have done with reference to the same matters. "It is current talk that one of my opponents, Walter Sims, is a candidate favorable to the Klan and supported by it. If that is so, let him say it. If it is not true, if he is not a member of the Klan and not having its support, let him state it. Let them all say where they stand. "The Ku Klux Klan is an issue in this campaign; and I am out to see that the issue is not dodged. Face to face I will meet any member of the Klan, or every member of the Klan, and say what I am saying here—that if I am elected mayor I will use every proper and lawful means in my power to fight any improper influence the Klan may seek to exert in politics, or any hand it may seek to take in the affairs of this city or of its humblest citizens." BOOTLEGERS HOLD CHURCH PICNIC AND BOOZE FLOWS FREELY BOOTLEGERS HOLD CHURCH PICNIC AND BOOZE FLOWS FREELY (Wreston News Service) WALDORF, Md. Sept. 8.—A group of professional bootleggers have been holding a picnic here for several weeks under the auspices of some church organization alleged to be from Washington. People in the neighborhood complained to the officials that things were not just as they should be. The officials visited the grounds and found considerable wet goods in the bulging hip pockets of most of the male picnickers. They also found a large amount of whisky buried by the promoters of the "Church Picnic." The promoters arrested were Charles Daley, of Hyattsville, Md., and William White, of Washington. The officers confiscated the liquors and ordered the picnic grounds closed, and also lodged the promoters in jail.

ANGRY CITIZENS IN PITTSBURGH BREAK UP MEETING OF KLAN ANGRY CITIZENS IN PITTSBURGH BREAK UP MEETING OF KLAN (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. 8.—Armed with shotguns, clubs and brooms, men and women late Friday night routed a score of members of the Ku Klux Klan who were going through the initiation ceremonies of the Klan in Olympia park, Duquesne Heights. Four automobiles, containing members of the Klan, drove to the park shortly after 11 p. m., and after donning their robes, erected a cross and ignited it. As the cross burned the Klan formed a circle around it, and started their ceremonies of initiation. Residents, seeing the reflection of the burning cross in the sky, rushed to the park, armed with guns, clubs and brooms, and within five minutes hundreds of men and women swarmed into the park. The klansmen, discovering that trouble was imminent, removed their robes and jumped into the waiting automobiles and sped away. The enraged men and women tore down the cross and destroyed it. When departing the klansmen left a packet of 100 newspapers printed in Georgia, purporting to show the strength and work the klan is performing. The papers were burned by the angry citizens.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 8.—(Special)—"The tallest tree in the Baptist forest has fallen; the long expected has transpired; the Grand Old Man has left us." All that was mortal of the late Richard Henry Boyd was placed in a vault in this city, and is resting out at Greenwood cemetery, after impressive services were held over the remains in the Ryman Auditorium, the largest public building in the city. While it was the desire of the family that the funeral be as simple as possible, the service of the deceased, the sphere that he had filled in the race and denominational ranks, made this desire in its entirely impossible, as there were representatives from both races from various sections of the United States who had come to pay special homage and to add their testimonies to the life and work of the deceased. The funeral oration was delivered by Dr. L. L. Campbell, the President of the Missionary Baptist State Convention, of Austin, Texas, who had known Dr. Boyd from boyhood, and whom Dr. Boyd had brought into the ministry. There were remarks by Dr. E. P. Jones, the President of the National Baptist Convention of Evanson, Illinois; Dr. Ernest Hall of Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. C. H. Clark, of Chicago, Ill.; Dr. Jno. H. Frank, of Louisville, Ky.; Dr. J. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, Ark.; Dr. I. J. VanNess and Hon. John Bell Keeble of this city. Mrs. Lula Mae Butler Hurse of Kansas City, Mo., rendered a special solo. Dr. Campbell drew a life picture of the work of the deceased, following him from the back woods of Texas to the apex of denomination and racial achievements. The Baptist ministers of Nashville were honorary pall-bearers, while the following were active pall-bearers; Dr. J. H. Hale, Lawyer J. W. Grant, Mr. W. D. Hawkins, Revs. J. A. Brown, H. A. Alfred and J. C. Fields. The National Baptist Publishing Board's employees occupied a section in the Ryman Auditorium set apart for them, as they were mourners. The music for the occasion was under the direction of Mr. Arthur G. Price, a former employee of the Publishing Board. The remains, by special request of thousands of Baptists, were placed in a vault at Greenwood Cemetery and will be viewed at the coming session of the National Baptist Convention. "The story of Dr. Boyd's life," said one of the Baptist divines of the city, "is stranger than fiction." His work in establishing the National Baptist Publishing Board's plant is regarded as his monument. sel, wife of Rev. Russel, ex-pastor of Mount Olive Baptist church, have gone to Los Angeles, and cards received state they are comfortably located and are very happy. If their health proves good, they will remain there indefinitely. Daughter Foreman, who was reported very sick last week, is getting along nicely. It is the hope of the friends that she will have a complete recovery. Mr. E. W. Ramsey, Miss Zola and Dr. are holding things in good check for Madam Hilbert while she is away at the coast. Zola is becoming very capable in millinery under Madam Hilberts instructions. Don't forget that the election is the 12th, next Tuesday. Vote as your conscience dictates and as you know the men, and not as others tell you. Find out and know for yourself. All candidates who are running are good. Mr. Warren Davis, the much-loved Sheriff of Yavapai is dead. As the city clock told the hour of 12:10 he passed into the sweet beyond. The entire county is deeply grieved at his going. The daughter of E. W. Ramsey has been very sick with her eyes and a rundown condition. Daughter Ramsey has charge of Madam Hilbert's store during her absence. It is hoped she will have a speedy recovery. Fred: "Do you know any good jokes Barnoy?" Barney; "Sure—Jack Barry." SHIP FOR AFRICA SOON TO LEAVE FOR MONROVIA, LIBERIA LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 8.—In a few weeks the Queen of Liberia of the Church of God Line will steam out of Los Angeles harbor on her maiden voyage to Monrovia, Liberia. She is lying at the dock now waiting for the colored folk to fill her staterooms and bid the Diesel engines "Giddup." The tickets are pale pink and a yard long, and the newly bought flagship of the Liberian Transportation Steamship Company is rearing to go. She is the only vessel the Church of God Line possesses, but she's the flagship of the fleet just the same. She is still registered as the Angel, but she'll be known as the Queen of Liberia when she heads for Africa with her first boatload of colored people. This little 110-foot motorship is the result of much diligent prayer. She takes the place of the good ship Ark, upon which hundreds of Southern California colored citizens hoped to travel to Liberia. The Ark was both fearfully and wonderfully made. For several years Rev. J. E. Lewis, pastor of the Church of the Living God, labored with his followers on the tidelands of Terminal Island, near San Pedro. As the months passed by it appeared that they were constructing a ship or something, but mariners who inspected the strange pile of driftwood and clumsy beams were unable to decide just what. The fare to Africa, first class, is $275—with a special rate of $75 for missionaries. The general passenger agent of a railroad which is handling bookings for the voyage says that missionaries seem to predominate. KLAN SEEKS TO FORM UNION WITH MEMBERS OF AMERICAN LEGION (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) HANNIBAL, Mo., Sept. 8—Pressure of business forced a night session at the fourth annual convention of the Missouri department of the American Legion on Monday night. The question of the injection of the Ku Klux Klan propaganda into convention matters caused the heated discussion and extended session. The Ku Klux Klan matter was taken up by the resolution committee on Monday afternoon and was found to be a' difficult matter to dispose of in the committee and was brought before the entire convention on Tuesday morning, together with other resolutions dealing with the Klan. The Klan proposal, it is said, was submitted as a resolution by the St. Louis delegates, and it brought out heated opposition from a large faction of the Legion membership, who contend that the legion should not enter into controversy over organizations entirely outside of itself. Some members of the Legion contend that the Klan and the American Legion are striving for identical ends—100 per cent Americanism. Opponents declare that the methods employed by the Klan are purely un-American, and that the Legion should not submit or become connected with any outside organization that does not come out in the open. "The invisible empire methods are diametrically opposed to the fundamental principles of the American Legion, and should the Legion endorse the nefarious methods of the Ku Klux Klan it will sound the death-knell of the Legion," declared one speaker.

TO BE ORGANIZED BY BLACK FOLKS, AVERS (Special To The Tribune) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 8.—According to a statement issued here a few days ago, there is well under way plans for organizing one of the largest Trust Companies to be operated by colored people in the country. This is the Citizens' and Southern Bank & Trust Company of Philadelphia, Pa., of which Major R. R. Wright, former president of the Georgia State College, Savannah, Ga., is president and prime mover. A big meeting was recently held in Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor, and the best indications are that this gigantic Negro trust company will formally open its doors to the public, January 1, 1923, the Sixtieth Anniversary of Negro freedom in the United Sattes. A large and enthusiastic crowd assembled. Speakers were: R. R. McKinley, vice-president of the oldest bank in the United States, the Bank of North America, capital and surplus $4,000,000; Messrs. John Lynn and T. A. Lynn, attorney and Philadelphia manager of the largest insurance company in the world, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which has in force over $250,000,000 of insurance on over 1,800,000 Negro lives; Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor; Major R. R. Wright, president of the Citizens' and Southern Banking Co., also president of the proposed trust company; Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, and Wm. H. Ridley, attorney. The new trust company is an outgrowth of the Citizens' and Southern Banking Co., started by Major Wright two years ago. In this new venture he has the backing of the best bankers and financiers of the country. On the advisory committee are E. Pussey Passamore, president of the Bank of North America; Asa S. Wing, president of the Provident Life and Trust Co.; Elmer G. Parsly of the great banking house of Parsly Brothers & Co. The Public Ledger, Philadelphia's most influential morning paper, is actively behind the Trust Co. Also the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., the largest insurance company in the world, which recently gave a luncheon in its palatial dining hall in New York to the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church, at the request of Major Wright. Vice-president Gaston of the Metropolitan said "Our company collects over thirty-three million dollars a year from colored people. We feel we should give some of this back to aid them in their enterprises. Major Wright has the most reasonable plans ever brought to us, and through his trust company, we will have millions of dollars at your command.' Mr. McKinley said: "The oldest bank in America greets you. The other day when your board met in the Board room of the Bank of North America, you made history, for the Bank of North America was organized when the financial fortunes of the American soldiers in the Revolutionary War were at low ebb. We financed American independence and won. You must organize to finance real freedom of your people." Dr. Graham said: "This is an epoch. Major Wright has done for the Negro what was never done before, but we all know of white people helping our churches and our schools, but they don't pay much attention to our business. By getting the best, the very best and biggest white bankers in this town and the leading insurance companies of this country at his back, Major Wright has a business foundation for the Citizens' and Southern Trust Co. that no other Negro financial institution ever had, certainly in the North, and that means success to start with. I am for the Citizens and Southern, and my church will follow me." Major Wright announced that progress is being made. Over $100,000 worth of stock has been sold and a quarter million is expected by January 1st.

THE PRIMARIES readers suggested that when we had politics was in order. To the very subject, but right now, with election day only a matter as the one important subject of September 12, the Democrats are set by ballot, candidates for whose election next November. The latest newspaper, has no list of candidates at this time. Our advertisement to both Democrats and Republicans have been permitted to the army of readers. There are themselves of the opportunity to send voters and solicit your supplication for the offices they serve. We have advertised in The Tribune for support and many who have a utility we believe to be good for serving of your support. One of our readers is, that we have no interest of a single Klansman's employment. We are in the news, that we believe that race loyalty, enforcement of the race should have no amount of money will ever cause this principle. We will do nothing that would impress as a race. Instead, we want to promote the general welfare of economic freedom to our society, stating that by adopting a greater demand for The Tribune ourselves. We said to them, and we prefer to remain a struggling believe to be right and best for and preferment through unwise effort to the subject of candidates, political announcements of the vote papers and on Tuesday, vote we so dense that some one has support, there should be a way our vote. Office seekers spend, because before the people, and ask some individual how you see Intelligence rules the world and should use what intelligence we have constitutes of our conscience. Voting to abuse it. Which will you do? One of our readers suggested that when we could find nothing else to write, politics was in order. To the uninitiated, politics may be a dry subject, but right now, with the woods full of candidates and election day only a matter of a few hours, politics looms up as the one important subject in the minds of most people. Tuesday, September 12, the Democrats and Republicans of Arizona will select by ballot, candidates for whom they will vote in the general election next November. The Phoenix Tribune as an independent newspaper, has no list of candidates to present its readers at this time. Our advertising columns have been thrown open to both Democrats and Republicans, and the respective candidates have been permitted to plead their cause before our large army of readers. There are individuals who have availed themselves of the opportunity to present their cause to the colored voters and solicit your support. As to their fitness and qualification for the offices they seek, you alone are the judge. Many who have advertised in The Tribune we believe to be deserving of your support and many who have not taken advantage of this opportunity we believe to be good men and true, and are equally deserving of your support. One point we wish to make clear to our readers is, that we have not, knowingly, accepted the advertisement of a single Klansman, nor will we accept such advertisement. We are in the newspapr business to make money, but we believe that race loyalty, race pride and the general advancement of the race should have our first consideration, and no amount of money will ever cause us to deviate one iota from this principle. The Tribune will do nothing that would in any way tend to retard our progress as a race. Instead, we will do all that lies within our power to promote the general welfare of the race and scure the blessing of economic freedom to ourselves and our posterity. Many have scored us because of our conservative and constructive policy, stating that by adopting a radical policy we could create a greater demand for The Tribune and the same time enrich ourselves. We said to them, and we say to all such as they, that we prefer to remain a struggling journalist advocating what we believe to be right and best for our people, than to seek riches and preferment through unwise channels. Coming back to the subject of candidates, we suggest that you read the political announcements of the various candidates in this and other papers and on Tuesday, vote your own convictions. If you are so dense that some one has to tell you what candidates to support, there should be a way to prevent you from casting your vote. Office seekers spend hundreds of dollars to get their cause before the people, and for you to ignore the appeal and ask some individual how you should vote, is the height of folly. Intelligence rules the world and we, as rational, human being should use what intelligence we have and vote according to the dictates of our conscience. Voting is a privilege; you may use it or abuse it. Which will you do? A RELIGIOUS PEOPLE said that the colored people people on the globe, yet they surface we know. Many have worn people to undergo such hardship this and a recent editorial in the exas, opened our eyes and no readers also may get a clear decided to let you read that It has been said that the colored people are the most religious of any people on the globe, yet they suffer greater persecution than any race we know. Many have wondered why a just God permits His people to undergo such hardships. We too, had often thought of this and a recent editorial in the Houston Informer of Houston, Texas, opened our eyes and now we see clearly. In order that our readers also may get a clear conception of the matter, we have decided to let you read that editorial which is as follows: We passed several churches of our race last Tuesday night and at each one some kind of weekly service was in progress, which reminds us that we are awfully and powerfully strong on a form of religious worship, but pretty weak and not exactly there when it comes to Christianity. There is a vast difference between religion and Christianity; even the pagan peoples maintaining some form of religious worship. Religion is largely and chiefly form and outside show to the world, something like the Pharisee who prayed his prayer aloud to be heard of men. But Christianity is best expressed and demonstrated in the daily deportment and conduct of its professed adherents and exponents, for the Holy Writ declares that "By their fruits ye shall know them." When we learn, as a race, that Christianity is lived and not merely talked, we shall be far advanced on our pilgrimage to a better land and brighter day. For a people who spend as much time in various church services as we do, and then when one sees how we are obsessed with envy, malice, jealousy, strife, bickering and a thousand and one other glaring and retarding faults, he is forced to question or doubt the genuineness and sincereity of our much professed and wildly proclaimed religion. Some of our people will go to church on Sunday and shout all over the house of worship, apparently filled with the Holy Ghost, and then raise unadulterated hades the other six days in the week. Too many of our people think that Christianity is simply a Sunday garment, to be worn and displayed on Sunday and left in the wardrobe or some other resting place throughout the remainder of the week. Our religion is mostly lip and a man's or woman's goodness is often rated by the amount of racket he or she is able to make at the Sunday services. In other words, we are given too much to chasing the shadow and neglecting, slighting or missing the substance. The Scriptures lay down this box barrage on hpocrites: "If a man says he loves God whom he hath not seen and hates his brother whom he hath seen, he is a liar and the truth is not in him." Mind you, these are not our words, so if these few lines do not find you quite so well, please don't throw any rocks at your humble servant. But it does seem that our religious machine is missing on several cylinders and the old engine does not seem to be hitting just as it ought to. The basis of Christianity is love, for God is love and no person is a true and exemplary follower of the Lowly Nazarene who harbors hatred and prejudice in his bosom against his neighbor, either with or without cause. Too many of our churches are simply employed as a means to an end, people joining this or that church for business reasons or other selfish motives. Where men and women put into daily practice the teachings and preachments of Jesus Christ, there is harmony, concord, good will, amity, brotherly love and complete accord, all dwelling together in the bonds of unity and fellowship. Perhaps if we had fewer church houses and more divinely inspired and consecrated ministers, instead of a little shack on every corner and a multitude of self-appointed and self-called ministerial misfits, we could make much progress from a religious viewpoint; but ignorance dominates entirely too many of our pulpits for the best interests of the Master's cause and the proper enlightenment of the constituents. Verily, we are some religious people, but when it comes to Christianity so many of us miss the mark and fall short of the "high calling which is in Christ Jesus."

Charles Summer was the champion of race rights. All over the south colored men were voting in the reconstructed governments and the ratification of the 15the Amendment in 1870 meant that they could vote in Maryland and other states. Criticism had been leveled at President Grant during his first administration and Horace Greeley was opposing him for re-election in 1872. Greeley's New York Tribune had been an ardent anti-slavery worker and was of the union during the civil war. In the south including Maryland, the Tribune was classed as contrabrand literature, and woe be unto any colored men caught with one. Unlike the present day in congress there were a few ardent and uncompromising champions of equal rights for the race. Senator Charles Summer was one of them and he was using all of his force and eloquence to have the Civil Rights bill become a law. He created consternation in the Republican ranks when he announced that he was not going to support Grant for re-election, but was going to back Greeley, a democrat. "Grant was re-elected but he had learned his lesson in his second term. Ebenezer D. Bassett, then principal of the Institute for Colored Youths at Philadelphia, was appointed United States Minister to Haiti, the first colored man to be so honored. Frederick Douglass and other colored were given desirable berths. This began the holding of big federal appointive offices by colored men.

They were not developmental thinker; but the idea operations will continue to Men are born, live their allotted time and then die; but the ideas they have conceived live after them and are built upon and magnified as each succeeding generation produces men who are able to think and act upon the ideas of the men who have gone before. Printing was an art in China for many years before it was invented in Europe. The idea of the European inventor was an improvement upon the Chinese method. The modern printer has in his shop the ideas of thousands of men who lived and died and left behind them improvements and inventions that have made the great newspapers and magazines possible. Separating the seeds from cotton was a laborous task until an American with an idea invented the cotton gin, and others with ideas fully as valuable produced machinery for the manufacture of the cotton into the many fabrics and products that are now in daily use. The great benefactors have, most of them, passed over the "great divide," but their ideas have enriched the world. Not many years ago sewing was done by hand. To make a dress or a suit of clothes was a laborious task; but Elias Howe conceived the idea of a sewing machine. Elias Howe is dead, and in a Massachusetts village there is a monument erected to his memory; but today there is a sewing machine in almost every home in America. There are thousands of other ideas that have benefitted mankind. They were not developed in a day or in the life time of the original thinker; but the ideas have outlived the man, and future generations will continue their development.

There is plenty of room It has been said that many men owe their success to the opposition they have met. While this may be true, there are thousands who owe their misfortunes to a similar cause. However, the man who has the nerve to push ahead over all obstacles is the man who wins and rises above his surroundings to heights of fame that the weaker and less determined ones never reach. Set your mark high and "go to it!" If you fail, get up and go at it again. There is plenty of room at the top, and the nearer you come to reaching the pinnacle of your ambition the less opposition you will have; for you will be leaving the struggling multitude that impeded progress far behind.

One of their chief products widely advertised throughout the Valley is their "Sunset Root Beer." Seldom does one get a chance to buy for a nickle such a refreshing drink as is embodied in Sunset Root Beer. Starting with a sale of 10 gallons of Root Beer Syrup, Sunset has grown during the last three months to where over 500 gallons were sold to the fountains for August. This success, owing to its high quality, "Sunset" will keep on the climb, and by next Spring and Summer orders should cover a volume of from 15,000 to 20,000 gallons for the state of Arizona. The manufacturing plant moves to Los Angeles in the near future, but "Sunset" interests in Arizona will be well cared for by Mr. A. Fradenburg; Arizona Representative for Sunset Products. Mr. Patterson, advertising manager for "Sunset," informed this weekly that the "Sunset" agent will enter into our field to introduce "Sunset Root Beer." The editor of this weekly has sampled "Sunset Root Beer," and strongly advises our readers to invest a nickle and try the best Root Beer that has been offered-as yet. Automobile Accident As he was leaving the picnic grounds at Joint Head Monday evening, Sept. 4, with a few passengers, Mr. H: H. Moore, taxi driver, lost control of his big Willys-Knight car and ran over an embankment near the river. The car turned over, threw some of the occupants out and pinned Mr. Moore, Mrs. Bob Murphy and husband underneath it. In the car were Mr. Geo. Thompson, who suffered a fracture of his arm; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Murphy, who were bruised and hurt internally; Mr. Moore, who suffered severe ruises by being caught on the steering wheel; Mrs. K. Skld more, Mr. Roy Bailey and another gentleman, who were thrown clean and escaped without injury. Fortunately, no one was killed or seriously hurt. Mr. Moore, and Mr. and Mrs. Murphy are the only ones confined to their beds, and their injuries while painful, are not serious. They are being attended by physicians and hope soon to recover. Mr. Moore is the only one of the occupants who carries an accident policy in the Commonwealth Casualty Co., of which A. R. Smith is general agent for Arizona and he is fully protected against loss of time caused by his confinement. This Company pays $20 weekly for confinement caused by sickness or accident. No "ifs." We pay. Pay if you live and pay if you die—you can't lose. Arizona headquarters of the company are at 1302 East Jefferson street, and A. R. Smith is the general agent.

TEN TIMES BIGGEST CIRCUS HERE SOON World's Greatest Amusement Institution, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, Headed This Way. Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Day draws near and with it will come a vast circus of "ten thous and wonders" to exhibit in Phoenix September 18, 1922. This mammoth amusement enterprise of 1922 has been officially recorded as "America's ten times greatest circus." It is a third bigger than it was in 1921. For, in addition to the many innovations offered then, the present season's program numbers ten more trained wild-animal displays—making twenty in all—and the most superb trained horse acts that Europe has yet produced. The wild-animal and equine displays of 1921 were introduced merely that the Ringling Brothers might judge of their popularity. So enthusiastically were these numbers received that the famous showmen immediately arranged for the purchase of the world's finest acts of this kind. An entire equine circus was bought outright and brought to this country last winter. And while the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey agents were securing this and the trained tiger, polar bear, lion, leopard and jaguar groups, they had orders to engage the foremost men and women performers of the European capitals. And these stars from city and jungle are all to be seen with this wonder circus of 1922. Everything, including the great double menagerie of more than a thousand animals and exhibiting such rarities as a mite of a baby hippopotamus and its three-ton mother, is to be seen for the price of one admission ticket. And by "everything" is meant not only the wild animal and equine displays, but the entire circus. More than 700 men and women, embracing the world's foremost arenic stars, take part. There are 100 clowns. Aside from the ferocious beasts, the program includes forty trained elephants. There are five companies of trained seals, many dogs, bears, monkeys, pigs and pigeons. It is the biggest circus program the world has even seen, given under the largest tent. Vieiltors from Kansas City Mr. and Mrs. B. J.

Experience vs. Experiments When you cast your ballot for a candidate for public office, you are selecting an executive to perform certain tasks in the interest of those who elect him. The first and most important consideration is that candidate's training and qualifications for the office to which he aspires. The office of Corporation Commissioner is one that requires an unusual fund of knowledge and experience in the handling of traffic and transportation problems upon which railroad and express rates are established. There is one candidate in the field who not only has this required training and fitness for that office, but he has proven, during his term to be one of the most able and conscientious officials that has ever held office in the State of Arizona. The accomplishments of Mr. Amos A. Betts as Corporation Commissioner has won for him the unstinted approval and appreciation of practically every agricultural, mining, cattle and industrial organization in the State.

Knox and wife of Berkeley, Calif., arrived in Phoenix Monday and have taken apartments at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. B Brown, 1213 East Washington street. Prof. Knox is the new teacher added to the faculty of the colored High school. He is a native of California and a graduate of the University of California, having received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from this institution. He comes well recommended and brings to the colored division of the Phoenix Union High school a broad knowledge of high school work gained from experience as teacher of a private high school in California, and from years of study in the higher institutions of learning. Prof. Knox is an ex-service man, having been called in the first draft for overseas duty. As a member of the High school faculty, he will teach science and athletics. He has a pleasing personality, dignified bearing, yet is easy of approach, and his accomplished young wife is the personification of refinement and culture. Phoenix is indeed fortunate to secure such a brilliant young man as Prof. Knox as a member of the High school faculty.

Cummins, who is a candidate for county assessor of Maricopa County, has behind him a record of which any man might well be proud. This is the time of all times when records should be the test for fitness to public positions of trust and responsibility. Mr. Cummins has lived in Arizona for many years, is a heavy taxpayer and believes in an equitable distribution of the tax burden. His former record as assessor for Maricopa County makes him the logical man for the office now. Never in the history of Arizona has there been a greater need for an honest, fair and square man as assessor for Maricopa County. Mr. Cummins is the man for the position, and both Republicans and Democrats favor his election. You want lower taxes; then vote for a man who will assess property according to its value and place the burden of taxes where it rightly belongs. Mr. Cummins knows Maricopa County like a book and promises, if elected, to see to it that none escape his just share of taxation, but all will be given a square deal. He will appreciate your vote and influence. Does Advertising Pay? If you doubt the pulling power of Tribune ads, you should have a little talk with Mr. A. L. Stitt, of 623 West Grant street, local agent for the International Tailoring Co. He inserted a small ad in last week's issue and before his paper was delivered, several customers, influenced by the ad, came and placed orders for suits and overcoats. Mr. Stitt says that this has been a banner week with him, and he gives The Tribune full credit for bringing in the business. He handles the finest line of made-to-measure clothes in the city, and a look at his samples will convince you. Before you buy that fall suit, visit his establishment, 623 West Grant street. Caldwells Are Hosts Complimenting Prof. and Mrs. Ellis O. Knox of Berkeley, Cal., Rev. and Mrs. A. C.

Enjoy Hunting Trip Labor Day, September 4, Mr. T. Tannehill, Rev. M. Thompson, Mr. Frank Harris, Mr. J. J. Brown and Mr. Terry made up a group of hunters who went out in quest of game. All Phoenix knows that whenever Mr. J. J. Brown goes out with a group of hunters, he usually carries off the honors. Well, this time it was not so, for Mr. Tannehill and his little bird dog made Mr. Brown and all the others feel ashamed of themselves. Mr. Tan- --- To the Voters of Maricopa County: In seeking one of the Democratic nominations for the office of State Senator from Máricopa county, I must express my regrets that religion has been injected into this campaign by some people. Brought up and confirmed in a Protestant Church, I stand, however, firmly upon the principle upon which our government is built: That each man shall have the absolute right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience and belief. Let the thinking voter of this county but look back to the history of our Republic, and he must agree that religion should not play any part in politics. The Constitution of the United States provides: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The Constitution of the State of Arizona provides: "Perfect toleration of religious sentiment shall be secured to every inhabitant of this State, and no inhabitant of this State shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship, or lack of the same." "No religious qualification shall be required for any public office or employment." I am seeking the nomination and subsequent election to the Senate of this state, knowing that with the Legislature must originate important economic retrenchments that bankruptcy of the state and of its citizens be avoided; knowing also that this State is but in its infancy, that millions of acres may yet be added to its vast agricultural area, that its wealth untold, including the vast stored power, must be conserved that we may bring about a state great in name and great in fact. Having these purposes in mind, I seek the support of every thinking voter of the County, irrespective of his or her religious beliefs, who believes in these principles of our Constitution. FRED C STRUCKMEYER Candidate for the State Senate, Maricopa County Among the candidates for county attorney of Maricopa County, Judge Henry J. Sullivan stands head and shoulders above all others. He is a brilliant young lawyer, well qualified by years of training for the position of county attorney. If fearlessness in the discharge of duty is a quality demanded of the county attorney, then Judge Sullivan is the logical man for the position. He was the first public official in Maricopa County to openly denounce the nefarious Ku Klux Klan and on this issue he takes a bold stand. If elected to the high office of county attorney, Judge Sullivan declares that he will prosecute all criminals without fear or favor, and assist in every way he can to make this community law-abiding. A vote for Judge Sullivan is a vote for Law and Order. nehill bagged the limit, and out of courtesy to Mr. Brown and the other gentlemen, the reporter is requested not to mention what they got. Tannenhill and his dog are the "king pins" in the sporting world, Mr. J. J. Brown to the contrary notwithstanding. Great Picnic Held Messrs. Major Jones and Albert Turner staged one of the most successful barbecue picnics ever held at Joint Head, Monday, September 4. Over one thousand people attended, and swimming, fishing and other sports were indulged in to the delight of all. Barbecue, ice cream and other good things were served, and those who attended say it was a great picnic indeed. Next time Messrs. Jones and Turner stage a picnic, they will have to select a bigger place, for all Phoenix will be there. These men know their stuff. Return from Vacation Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Carter of 714 West Grant street, returned Sunday evening from an extended eastern trip, during which they visited Mr. Carter's mother in Virginia and other relatives and friends in Washington, D.C. and other cities. They also attended the dedication of the Frederick Douglas Home, the Masonic ceremonies in Washington, D.C., and the meeting of the National Association of Colored Women. Needless to say they had a very enjoyable visit. Visitors from Missouri Mrs. W. B. Scott and her mother, Mrs. Walter Jackson, of 1230 East Adams street, had as their house guests Thursday and Friday, September 1st and 2nd, their aunt and sister, Miss Lillian Hamilton of Booneville, Mo, and Miss Lulu Taylor of Hannibal, Mo. Both are school teachers and have been on an extensive vacation, visiting Kansas City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City, Oakland, Cal., San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix. I Am Running for Re-Election on My Record of the Past Two Years A SQUARE DEAL TO ALL TAX PAYERS GUY F. VERNON For Supervisor Second District Maricopa County Republican Candidate Democratic Candidate For Tax Commissioner A MAN FOR A MAN'S SIZE JOB PETER H. When Mr. Howe became a member of the Tax Commission, Maricopa County was paying 22% of the total state taxes; it now pays only 16%. Then, the great producing mines paid only 19% of all taxes; now they pay 50%, thus enabling every county to have good schools, good roads, closer commercial relations and association and consequently a better citizenship. The work of the Tax Commission has been praised by every Democratic platform since statehood as well as by both former Governor Hunt and Governor Campbell. It takes men with nerve and stamina to bring these tremendous changes about. The Tax Commission is no place for a man with a jelly-fish back-bone. He must at all times be willing to stand up and be counted. The voters of Arizona appreciate Mr. Howe's good work on the Tax Commission and will not vote to undo that work. section on My Record of two Years ALL TAX PAYERS VERNON servitor Maricopa County Charles R. Howe has had 18 years experience as a tax official in Arizona. He is a recognized authority on taxation, both State and National.

When asked about the proposed Wills-Dempsey bout, he replied: "We're signed and ready. Where are the promoters?" It is claimed that Cuban fight fans have indicated that they would like to see a fight between Dempsey and Jack Johnson. Kearns says that if the Cuban public wants such a fight, Dempsey will try and oblige. Kearns claims there is no one for Dempsey to meet outside of the set-up class with the exception of Wills, and thus far no promoter has made him an offer. However, he intimated that the chances are that he will get a bid for a Dempsey-Wills fight within a few days from Tom O'Rourke, the match-maker of the New Republic club, which has leased the polo grounds. It is reported that O'Rourke will make a proposition to Dempsey if the champion will agree to fight during October. He says he has already talked with Wills and the challenger is willing and ready to fight. Friends of Dempsey claim that Wills and Dempsey should never be allowed to fight in this country. Such a match would ruin the sport. Commenting on Wills as a fighter, Jim Jabb, writing in the Pittsburgh Press, under the caption of "Fistic Fobles," says: "Not long ago, the writer, in telling of Harry Wills' ring prowess, hinted that the herculean black was disposed to be a rough mixer, also defiant to referees. Wills fights himself free, turns tricks, etc., and pays no attention to the judge of pace. It was declared that if Dempsey and the big black ever meet, it would be well and wise for the showmen to hire a giant referee, a fellow with grit and gumption, fearless to the limit. Facing Fred Fulton, the New Orleans pugilist pulled off gags that should have been forbidden by the referee. Here is an excerpt from an account of Wills' easy-money bout with Bud Jackson at Newark, N. J., last week: 'Fight fans agreed that MR.AUTO OWNER Please do not Pick up any Passengers that belong to us.

MOSHER THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING PHOENIX TRIBUNE Sports Wills fought unfairly. He hooked one hand behind Jackson's head and flailed his groggy foe with his free fist. Wills paid no heed to four warnings from Referee McCoy. Sounds natural to people who have watched the black battler in real action. "Iimagine a muss, sure to be started, in case Wills was mixing in with Dempsey and set in motion some of his dubious pit tactics. There would be a riot for fair, and, of course, the good old boxing game would not be the gainer by that disorder." Admirers of Wills claim that he is one of the fairest fighters ever seen in the ring, and extremely so when his opponent is white, for he is mindful of the ever presence of race prejudice which he strives to overcome with extreme fairness. WESTERAN GIANTS MEET REGULARS SUNDAY, SEPT. 10 The opening games of the Central Arizona baseball championship series will be played next Sunday with the Regulars and Giants playing at Riverside park and the Caseys and Jewels playing at Mesa. Miami will be idle the first Sunday, unless the Miners book an outside team. The five teams included in the Central Arizona loop are evenly matched and should provide the fans with some good sport for the next few weeks. The weather is now ideal for baseball, and the athletes can play a faster game than during the hot summer months. Arizona is a winter baseball zone and if the first efforts of the managers prove successful, games will probably be scheduled for the remainder of the year. With valley players returning from minor leagues that have already closed and the big leagues closing in October, the local teams can be strengthened. The Giants and Regulars will supply Phoenix fans with the first game, and, if past games are any criterion, Sunday's game will be hotly contested and exciting. The Giants are working out every day and the Regulars start work this evening at Riverside park. Wiz White and Hammond will probably be the opposing twirlers in the opening game. With the teams playing for the Central Arizona champions Musical Comedy WILLS AND BRENNAN BOUT TO DECIDE WHO WILL MEET DEMPSEY WILLS AND BRENNAN BOUT TO DECIDE WHO WILL MEET DEMPSEY (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 8—At last the fans are to be given what looks like a treat in the heavyweight division—Bill Brennan against Harry Wills. This has the earmarks of a legitimate battle, and will be the next big fight scheduled, according to the New York promoters. Both are in somewhat the same position. Brennan has hard work to find any opponents to meet him among the white hopes, while Wills daily is finding it more difficult to induce any of the colored scrappers to step into the ring with him. High above them both towers the champion, Jack Dempsey, eager to fight, but unable to find a place that will countenance any of his prospective opponents. Wills would seem like the most logical contender to meet Dempsey but he has come to the front by bowling over a bunch of set-ups, such as the late Tut Jackson. Staved Awhile The colored heavyweight division is in the same condition as the white, nothing but a bunch of second-raters. Brennan, while he has taken the count from Dempsey twice, must be given credit for having stayed in the ring with the champion longer than any other fighter. Among the white heavies, he figures to give Dempsey the hardest battle. Dempsey has been tentatively matched with both men, but nothing has come of it, the Dempsey-Brennan match at Michigan City falling thru on account of the state governor's opposition, while no promoter has yet been found who is willing to assume the financial burden of putting on a Dempsey-Wills match. The fight between Brennan and Wills, though, will provide clear sailing for a match between Dempsey and the winner. Wills, if he defeats the hard-hitting and tough Brennan, will have proved ship more interest will be stirred up than under the old conditions where the teams played for the immediate game. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 Comedy beyond a reasonable doubt that he is the man to face Dempsey in a battle for the world's heavyweight championship. And if Brennan can beat the famed "Black Panther," it surely entitles him to a third chance at the champion. JUDGE WHEELER IN RACE FOR PLACE ON CORP. COMMISSION One of the most popular candidates for any office in Arizona, is Chas, de Sales Wheeler, who is seeking the nomination for corporation commissioner. For a number of years Judge Wheeler was Justice of East Phoenix Precinct, and in this capacity, made a record for honesty and fairness. We wish to thank our many friends for their sympathy and lovingkindness so beautifully manifested during the illness and death of our beloved son, Earle Alfred Johnson, who departed this life August 22, 1922. We wish especially to mention Earl's young friends and school mates who were so loyal and true, and the host of friends, too numerous to mention, who gave flowers and in other ways consolved and sustained us in our deep sorrow. We thank you, one and all. A. R. Smith MARICOPA "THE BUTTER THAT'S BETTER" MARICOPA EVAPORATED Heath Studio Is Your Repair Work And The Bill Uniform? Or is The Bill Accelerated? THEN CALL ON E.

Judge Wheeler has more friends than any man in Maricopa County, and if the vote in this, his home county, can decide the election, he will be nominated and elected by an overwhelming majority. He is a man on whom all will unite and can be depended upon to administer the affairs of office in a fair and impartial manner. The voters of Arizona realize that the corporation commission needs just such a man as Judge Wheeler; unfettered, uncompromising and unafraid. He asks the support of all who want to see Arizona go forward. Judge Wheeler as a member of the corporation commission, will be an asset to the state. CARD OF THANKS MRS. JOHN BROWN, Mother. MR.
