IF YOU SEE IT IN THE TRIBUNE IT'S SO Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes CONSTITUTION IS 135 YEARS OLD SUNDAY, SEPT. 17 CONSTITUTION IS 135 YEARS OLD SUNDAY, SEPT. 17 Gov. Campbell Issues Proclamation Asking That Anniversary of Signing of That Great Document Be Observed in Arizona. Next Sunday, September 17, will be Constitution Day throughout the United States, the anniversary of the signing of that document. And for its observance in Arizona, Governor Campbell has issued the following proclamation: It is 135 years this month since the cradle of our liberties, the Constitution of the United States of America, was signed by two score delegates, representing 12 states, assembled in constitutional convention. The anniversary is an important one, deserving of more than passing recognition, yet the keeping of anniversaries is of little value unless there is a conscious effort to carry out in spirit their meaning, and to measure up to the responsibilities which they impose on us as citizens. American liberty is based upon the American constitution, a grant of power given by the states in a time when great patriots were known, men who appear to have been divinely created for an especial purpose, to bring liberty to the land and to establish peace and justice therein. This constitution still is the heart of our nation. It is the basis of our laws and our strongest defense against all forms of disorder. Its destruction, or any general violation of its spirit, would mean the end of the republic. It has been said that "Without a constitution or something to counteract the strong tendency of government to disorder and abuse and to give stability to public institutions, there can be little progress or permanent improvement." A great thinker has written "Constitutions are established for the protection of a righteous minority against a predatory majority." Constitutions also may serve to protect a righteous majority against a predatory minority. Today the nation is in the midst of sporadic efforts to overthrow the constitution, these efforts put forth by violent minorities who would use forces to secure their ends, knowing themselves too few in number and too poor in logic to succeed at the ballot box, the only arbiter of political and economic questions that can be tolerated within the United States. As in similar crises in the past, so now our dependence lies in the American constitution and in respect for the wisdom that established its safeguards and its limitations. Now, therefore, I, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of the State of Arizona, do hereby designate Sunday, the seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the One Hundred and Forty-seventh, being the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth anniversary of the birth of our constitution, as Constitution Day, and do request that all citizens of Arizona and of the United States within the borders of Arizona reconsecrate themselves to the principles set forth by the Constitution of our republic. And I especially request that in all the churches the day may be appropriately observed and celebrated through discussion from the pulpits of the constitution and the privileges and safeguards embodied therein. It is also requested that the day be marked by the general display of the national flag, the symbol of Americanism, and that throughout the week following Constitution Day, a substantial period of time be devoted by all schools, public and private, which may be in session, to the study and explanation of the constitution in order that our young men and women may come to have a real knowledge of the rights and privileges conferred upon them as American citizens by the matchless document whose adoption we gratefully recall at this time. In witness wheroot. I have herunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 6th day of September, 1922. CHURCH TREASURER SLAIN----WHOLESALE ARREST FOLLOWS CHURCH TREASURER SLAIN----WHOLESALE ARREST FOLLOWS SENATOBIA, Miss., Sept. 15—The entire congregation of the First Baptist church here was arrested last Thursday in an effort to learn the identity of the parties who murdered Andrew Johnson, church treasurer, whose body was found near his home late Wednesday. Three hundred dollars of the church funds had been turned over to him on Tuesday night. As soon as the bank opened on Wednesday morning Johnson deposited the money. Wednesday evening he went down to the stable, which is some distance from his home, to feed his mule, and never returned. Johnson's body was found on Thursday morning, his head crushed and a bloody piece of plank found near the body. His pockets had been searched by the murderers in looking for the money. County officers express the belief that robbery was the motive for the crime, and report that many different size tracks of both men and women were found in the barn yard where Johnson was killed. His pockets had been turned inside out and 30 cents he was known to have had in his possession was missing. The arrest of the entire congregation was decided upon by the officers because of the fact that only members of the church were supposed to have had knowledge of the money delivered to Johnson. His stepson has also been arrested, but so far no proof of any consequence has developed against him. HUMAN TREATMENT GETS BEST RESULTS SAYS BIG FARMER HUMAN TREATMENT GETS BEST RESULTS SAYS BIG FARMER (Preston News Service) GRADY, Ark., Sept. 15—R. R. Rice, a rich white planter of Varner, near here, says: "I find that the best way to get along with my tenants is to kinda treat 'em human; just like I like to be treated. I give them an outing now and then. That keeps them feeling good and they work better." Last Saturday Rice gave a big picnic to his plantation hands and the neighboring Negroes. Barbecued meats, sandwiches, cakes and lemon- ade were served. Sylvester's Jazz Band of Pine Bluff furnished the dance music. The affair started early in the morning and lasted until nearly midnight. HE BROKE MONTE CARLO BANK AND DIED BROKE PARIS—Charles Deville Wells, the "man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo," and hero of the song heard wherever the English language was spoken in the early nineties, died in Paris recently in such object poverty that his death passed unnoticed until more than a month afterward. He was eighty-one years old. Wells, after a record run of luck at Monte Carlo, soon became a bankrupt. He had many other vicissitudes, including several terms in jails and penitentiaries in England and France for obtaining money under false pretenses. He used to blossom out with many get-rich-quick schemes. One of them was a system whereby he claimed any roulette wheel might be beaten by a player with a sufficient bank roll. Applicants for the system, however, generally were relieved of their bank rolls before reaching the roulette wheel. A delegation representing the Northeastern Federation of Colored Women's clubs called on Senator Cabot Lodge, and urged him to lend his full aid and ability in the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 NEW WIZARD OF KLAN IS ABOUT TO CAUSE SPLIT IN THE ORDER NEW WIZARD OF KLAN IS ABOUT TO CAUSE SPLIT IN THE ORDER (Special to The Tribune) ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 15—Ku Klux Klansmen in Georgia are on the verge of open rebellion in consequence of a published statement by James L. Beavers, Atlanta chief of police and candidate for mayor, that Edward Young Clarke, acting imperial wizard, has completed negotiations with Marcus Garvey, New York, to admit Black Men to membership in the order. Chief Beavers reiterated his statement in a public speech today quoting an interview with Clarke, written August 15. In this interview Clarke was quoted as saying that the "Negro question has ceased to be." The full interview was printed here, and has not been repudiated by Clarke. At the Atlanta city hall, which is a hotbed of Ku Kluxism, leaders openly stated that Clarke had "played hell" and that it would henceforth be "impossible to keep the boys of the South together." Even among the imperial family there was an undercurrent of dissension at Clarke's interview. DR. E. C. MORRIS DIES AFTER LINGERING ILLNESS (Preston News Service) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 15—Dr. Ellias C. Morris, aged 67 years, died here Tuesday morning at the home of his son, F. D. Morris, and his body laid in state from 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon until 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon in the chapel of the Arkansas Baptist College. Dr. Morris had been in failing health for the past year. He became seriously ill during the session of the state convention in Hot Springs last November and never fully recovered. He has served his race in many ways, and always maintained the highest respect of both races through Arkansas, and was especially active with all race movements in Helena for the past 43 years. He was regarded as one of the foremost leaders of the race, always sane, conservative and practical. His aim was to make friends, and he made them on all occasions. He made many staunch friends among the leading white people throughout the country. Dr. Morris served the National Convention of the Baptist Church, said to be the largest religious organization in the world, with a following of more than three million, for 29 consecutive years, and was president at the time of his death. For the past 35 years he had been president of the State Baptist Convention, and was founder of the Arkansas Baptist College. He also established the Baptist Vanguard, a publication devoted to the interest of the Baptist church connection. Dr. Morris had the distinction of having been pastor of but one church during his entire ministry, the Centennial Baptist church, Helena. He was called from the school room to pastorate this church 43 years ago, and at his 43rd anniversary as pastor, held the first week in July, last, the church congregation presented him with $2,000. In addition to his regular salary, his church has given him $50 a week during his illness. He also enjoyed an honor that no other Negro has ever received—that of being a member of the Executive Committee of the Baptist General Council of North America and the Baptist World's Alliance. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the Federated Churches of Christ in America. Dr. Morris was born in Murray county, Georgia, in 1857. He received his elementary education in the public schools of Alabama and received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from the State University, Louisville, Ky., in 1892, and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Alabama in 1902. He had traveled extensively through Europe and was an enemy to everything that would bring about estrangement between the races. He believed in the South, and refused to even consider flattering offers from large congregations in the North. Dr. Morris declared that his duty was with his people, and if they suffered he would LYNCHERS CLASSED AS MURDERERS BY JUDGE IN GEORGIA LYNCHERS CLASSED AS MURDERERS BY JUDGE IN GEORGIA (Preston News Service) FORSYTH, Ga. Sept. 15—In his charge to the grand jury last Monday Judge William E. R. Searcy declared that the recent lynching in Monroe county, near Holton, of John Glover, challenged the right and power of the state to rule. “There has been committed in your county a most atrocious murder,” the judge said. “A person has been murdered, who, by all the rules of law had forfeited the right to live, but had not forfeited his right to a fair trial. No matter whether any of the members of the mob are identified and tried, they will always be murderers.” As the investigation started here the Bibb county grand jury, which has returned ten true bills, commenced its third week of its probe into the lynching. DR. SHIRLEY SPENT BUSY SEVEN WEEKS VACATION IN EAST Dr. Frank E. Shirley returned on Monday morning from a seven-weeks vacation, taken partly for pleasure and partly for business. The primary object of the trip was to attend the national convention of chiropodists at Chicago. But he started some time in advance of that meeting to visit his mother, who lives in a small village near Memphis. He went directly from Memphis to Chicago, and at the close of the convention he went to Washington, where he met Senator Cameron, through whose good offices he met the president and was admitted to several sessions of the senate and one joint meeting of both houses. After that he spent a short time in Atlantic City and New York. He also visited Boston, and from Bostone he traveled by boat to Yarmouth, N. S. He had an enjoyable visit there. He returned to Boston by the Fall River line, and again visited New York. He saw Babe Ruth make his twenty-seventh home run, and t he next day heard that he had been put out of the game again. Dr. Shirley paid $6 to see the Harry Wills-Tutt Jackson argument. Considering the fact that it lasted only three rounds, he figured that he had got something less than his money's worth. But there was one thrilling incident. When the fight opened, Jackson made a demonstration that impressed the audience that he was going to be a serious contender. But that impression quickly vanished when Wills got into action. Dr. Shirley was sitting 150 feet from the ring. Notwithstanding the remoieness of his position, he distinctly heard the impact when Wills in the third round put a short-arm jab to Jackson's side. A mule could not have made a louder or more effective landing. Mr. Shirley was not surprised to read the next morning that Jackson was in a hospital with two or three broken ribs. Dr. Shirley returned by an S. P. steamer to New Orleans. WARNING TO DEAD-HEAD8 The editor of a Kansas newspaper says: "Ten cents per line straight will be charged for all obituary notices of business men who did not advertise while living, and delinquent subscribers will be charged 15 cents a line for ordinary notices. Advertisers and cash subscribers will receive the best in the shop free when they shuffle off Better send in your advertisement and pay up your subscription now, as the hog cholera is abroad in the land." This is good advice. suffer with them, and if they prospered he would also enjoy the prosperity. He leaves a widow, five children and several grandchildren. Funeral services were held on Thursday in the Centennial Baptist Church in Helena. GET ALL EDUCATION YOU CAN ASSIMILATE SAYS DR. R. R. MOTON (Special To The Tribune) HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., Sept. 15—"Whenever a man asks me which I think is best, industrial or higher education, I feel like replying that I don't care a tinker's what's his-name what kind of an education a boy or girl gets, just so long as they get all the education that is possible for them to assimilate," spoke Principal Moton in one of his recent speeches made here before the members of the National Negro Business League, who stopped over from their Norfolk session to visit Hampton. Continuing, he said, "What interests me the most at this time is the knowledge that there were millions of black boys and girls scattered over the South land who are getting no education whatever. They are being left in darkest ignorance. This makes for the maintenance of evil conditions in the South which cannot but have a baneful influence on the life of the entire people. This must be remedied." FULL COMPREHENSION OF BIBLE TEACHING WILL STOP LYNCHING EVIL (Preston News Service) PHIADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 15—The professed Christian white people of the South claim they are bitterly opposed to lynching, and ascribe the cause of the numerous outrages in the South and elsewhere in this country to the almost wholesale disregard for the principles laid down in the bible. The Presbyterian, in discussing t he lynching evil says, in part: "Instead of implying that such evils are endorsed by Southern Christian people, it would be better to inquire into the cause and cure of the evil. "If there was prevailing among the people of our age a knowledge and reverence for the Bible as the Word of God and a rule of life, both for this world and the world to come, together with a sense of responsibility for obedience unto this rule of God, it would go far toward the correction of this evil and similar evils. Sad to say, many writers and speakers who deal with these social evils are seeking by appeal to scientific advantage and to common utility as the means of educating the people out of this social degradation. The trouble in the case is not the lack of knowledge, but the lack of motive. More information will not correct any of these social threatenings. The need is for more conscience, and that can be awakened only by a keener sense of God's requirements. These requirements are revealed in the Word of God, and especially in the moral law. But many of these humanitarian writers reject God's Word and God's law, and encourage others to do likewise. Consequently, there is a low state of responsibility among the people, and this brood of cruelty, impurity, lynching, general murder, personal unfaithfulness, and other like evils, grow apace. The modern cultured rationalist in his rejection of the Word and Law of God is doing more to break down the social life and increase the crime of our times than any other influence. We must get the people back to the Bible and submission thereunto, or these evils will wax worse and worse until there is a fatal collapse." WOMAN KILLED IN WOMAN KILLED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT (Preston News Service) DUQUESNE, Pa., Sept. 15—When an automobile in which they were riding in the Duquesne and Bull Runn road, toward Duquesne, skidded as they were rounding a sharp curve and plunged down a 100-foot embankment into a deep ravine, Mrs. Edith Martin, aged 30 years, was killed instantly; her husband, Edward Martin, aged 31 years, and mother, Mrs. E. A. West, aged 50 years, were seriously bruised and shocked. Aid was summoned by a passing motorist and the injured were taken to the McKeesport hospital. Mrs. Martin's body was taken to the morgue. She suffered a fractured skull and internal injuries. GARVEY RESIGNS AS HEAD OF THE U.N.I.A. SAY LATE REPORTS NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 15—Marcus Garvey, the potential potentate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, African Community League and Provisional President of Africa, and a few other titles, resigned his offices on Saturday last at the convention now being held in New York in a huff. Believing that he held the delegates of the convention in the palm of his hand, and that they would ethed refuse to accept his resignation, or accept it and immediately relect him with increased power and authority, to the end that he could at once dismiss the three members of his "cabinet," claimed by him to be disloyal and objectionable. In this, however, Garvey was mistaken. He only had nine delegates on the convention floor favorable to him, and after the resignation was submitted by Garvey to the convention, he discovered by the action of the delegates that he had lost control of the convention. He then attempted to withdraw it, but an overwhelming majority of the delegates howled this attempted withdrawal down and demanded a vote. Garvey, by shrewd parliamentary tactics (he being the presiding officer by proxy) delayed the vote by wrangling speeches for two hours, but finally a vote was forced and Garvey's resignation was accepted by a vote of 86 to 9. Thus Mr. Garvey was caught in his own net. MAN MARRIES AT 78 AND STORK BRINGS HIM NINE CHILDREN MAN MARRIES AT 78 AND STORK BRINGS HIM NINE CHILDREN (Special to The Tribune) VOUVOIR, Miss., Sept. 15—Married the first time when 74 years old and the second time when 78, after which the stork brought him nine babies to his home, is the record of James Henry Turner, Confederate veteran, 44 years old, an inmate of the Soldier's Home here. Mr. Turner's second wife died two years ago. "I never went to picnics, dances nor parties where there were girls, and I grew to be a typical old batchelor," the veteran said. "Girls somehow failed to attract me even after I was grown." Mr. Turner joined a church fourteen years ago, when he was 80. We congratulate the old gentleman. If he has no good young friends to suspect, we must attribute his vitality to early piety. BLUSHED, BUT PAID UP A local orator was proudly declaiming to a group of friends on one of our public streets recently. "Live within your means and keep your debts paid" was the burden of his song—and excellent advice it was, too. "For many years," he declared, "I have made it a rule to pay my debts the moment they are due I never allow a 'bill' to become a 'debt' It is a comfortable feeling to know that I owe no man a dollar." Just then he spied the editor on the fringe of the crowd, and he had the grace to remember, and to blush—and to pay. O. J. JOHNSON LYNCHED IN BEAUMONT, TEXAS (Preston News Service) BEAUMONT, Tex., Sept. 15—O. J. Johnson, who had been tried twice on a charge of murder, jury disagreeing each time, was taken from the jail at Newton last Wednesday, strung to a tree limb and his body riddled with bullets.

W. McGrath & Sons, who have been working on the new structure for the past three months. The building is completed up to the second story, and it is expected that the workmen will reach the third story by Thanksgiving, if the work is not hindered for lack of finances. In a statement issued by Bishop Joshua H. Jones, Chairman of the Trustee Board, he says: "The erection of the building will cost $200,000. It is a fire-proof structure, built of brick, stone and steel. Modern in every respect, it will be a five-story structure and will contain offices for the university executives, 26 class rooms, commodious music and science departments, dining hall with seating capacity of 1000, an auditorium with seating capacity of 2,500 and dormitory for the accommodation of 450 girls. We expect to hold our next commencement exercises in this building. "To finance this great enterprise is the biggest burden, all things considered, that has fallen to our race. We have been building daily for the past three months, at a cost of $20,000 per month, all labor and material to this time paid for. The building is now above the first story and pressing hard in the second floor. "Bishops Coppin, Conner and Heard are my associates in this great task. I have every reason to believe that they will give the largest possible cooperation and sympathetic encouragement. About $50,000 of the money in hand has been raised by the small Third Episcopal district, and we are neither daunted nor tired. We need the aid of the whole connection and need it immediately. The trustees of Wilberforce University cover the whole connection, which constitutes the controlling body. Control and responsibility are correlatives, both morally and economically, and the exercise of one predicates the exercise of the other. The assumption and exercise of control, while neglecting the responsibility to support, is to be scorned by every manly man. Control without responsibility cancels the right of control. By inexorable law, the whole church must help rebuild Wilberforce. Will you do it? Will you repudiate a duty? "We, therefore, beg all the Bishops, General Officers, Ministers and Laymen to send in their contributions at once, so that the work on new Shorter Hall may not stop nor languish. We beg that you not wait, nor delay in making your personal sacrifice in helping us prosecute this work to completion. "The furnishings of the building will require $100,000 in addition to the cost of erection. We are, therefore, asking the church to roll up a collection of half a million dollars for the placing of dear old Wilberforce at the head of the column in the educational march of the race. We believe that all lovers of Negro Education, regardless of denomination, will help us in this enterprise. Send us such amount as you have ability to contribute." MARCUS GARVEY SUED AGAIN BY FIRST WIFE NEW YORK, Sept. 15—Mrs. Amy Garvey, who recently sued her husband, Marcus Garvey, head of the U. N. I. A., for separation, has sued Mr. Garvey again declaring that she refuses to admit the validity of the divorce decree which Garvey is said to have obtained in Missouri. Mr. Garvey and Miss Jacquess, of Kansas City, Mr., were married in Baltimore early in last August. ON THE SHIFTLESS SHIFT First Laborer—"Are ye workin' Joe?" Second Laborer—"Sure.

The democrats and republicans have nominated their respective candidates and now it is up to the party leaders to marshal their forces and put over their ticket. An eminent local journalist has defined an independent newspaper as one with either democratic or republican tendencies. He further stated that a newspaper, claiming to be independent and which takes a neutral or non-partisan stand, is a weakling and may be classed as a paper without a policy. Accepting this definition as true, The Phoenix Tribune may be termed an independent newspaper with republican tendencies, for we lean toward the republican party, believing that at this time, the best interests of all the people of Arizona will be served by electing the republican ticket. In line with our policy, we suggest that republican clubs be organized by members of our group in the various towns in the state. Membership will be limited to those who favor the election of the republican ticket and none who oppose the ticket should be asked to join. We plead for organization, for if we are to wage a successful fight, it must be through co-operation and organization. Individual effort is good but more effective work may be accomplished by group effort. Alone we can do little; together we can do anything. In union there is strength. Republicans, if you have any grievances, imaginary or real, bury them. Nothing will be gained by throwing your strength to the other fellow in order to avenge an imaginary wrong. Stand by the party; elect your ticket, then you have a chance to present your case and be heard by your friends. What manner of reasoning is it that will cause a man to desert his friend for a known enemy, just because the friend was neglectful in a few things? A man's enemy usually deals more harshly with him than his friend A good democrat told the writer that it was high time for the colored people to stop voting the republican ticket as they are generally supposed to do, and that they should learn to vote for MEN AND MEASURES, supporting strong men on the Democratic ticket in preference to certain candidates on the republican ticket. Now, mind you, this same democrat, who is past the age of fifty, boasts of the fact that he has always voted the democratic ticket and has never cast his vote for a republican. Sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander, and if as Mr. Wilson says a democrat is one who votes the democratic ticket, we believe a republican is one who votes the republican ticket. Why ask me to split my vote if you persistently refuse to split your's? My people and I are willing to go fifty-fifty, but if you persist in supporting the democratic ticket for the sake of the party and party unity, we believe we are justified in supporting the Republican party for the same reason. Some ask the question: "What has the republican party in Arizona done for YOUR PEOPLE that would cause you to support it?" Very little we must admit, but what have the democrats to offer? Hold out to us some hope of reward greater than we have ever received from republicans, then you may score us if we fail to support you. Put us to the test. We are human. SUPPORTING YOUR NEWSPAPER By G. V. CLOUD people I find feel that they have done the newspaper when they have bought the wrong—they have not done even a persons live or die by their advertisement a newspaper gets is determined he did not have bargain hunting women and maintain anything near the present Bargain and department store adver port of the daily newspapers because and followed up by a large number Most people I find feel that they have done their full duty by the Negro newspaper when they have bought the paper. They never were so wrong—they have not done even a third of their duty. Newspapers live or die by their advertisement and the advertising support a newspaper gets is determined by its readers. If daily papers did not have bargain hunting women readers none of them could maintain anything near the present standard of efficiency. Bargain and department store advertisements are the main support of the daily newspapers because these ads are in turn read and followed up by a large number of the daily newspaper readers. There's the crux of newspaper support. When colored people who read their own newspaper learn to lay down the law to grocery, clothing, drug, shoe, meat and other dealers and demand, of these dealers that such dealers support the Negro newspaper with advertisements, the Negro newspaper will assume an entirely new state of efficiency, its income will increase, short turns to money getting will cease and the news of happenings amongst American colored people will assume a far different tone and a different meaning. Expert and experienced colored writers can be hired and newsgatherers can be paid until there will not be an occurrence of interest to colored Americans anywhere in the world but what will be quickly learned and capably chronicled. Support of newspapers is support of the whole race and the whole nation. Without newspapers and magazines serving the public the masses of the world would still be in a state of vasalage. Until the Negro race builds up a news representation which will reach into the minds of the people of the world with the truth about Negroes the whole race will continue to be chronicled as criminals or monkeys.

For the fourth time in the history of the United States this country will have this year a 3,000,000,000 bushel corn crop and an unprecedented record crop of hay, exceeding the record crop of 1919 by 1,300,000 tons, and the second largest crop of white potatoes ever grown, and which is now forecasted at 440,000,000 bushels, or 2,000,000 bushels less than the record crop of 1917. Sweet potatoes will probably make another record. There will be plenty of tobacco and smokes should be cheaper than they are now now. The estimate for the tobacco crop is 1,425,000,000 pounds. Fruits are generally in abundance. The wheat crop is good and the people need not fear a shortage in any food product. Industrial conditions are better than a year ago and there will be more money in circulation; so that all who want to work may find employment, and there seems to be no good reason why this country is not coming to the winter season with one of the greatest supplies of food stuff in its history. Strikes are hindering progress at present, but these will probably be adjusted at an early date and the people of this country should get through the winter in comfort and plenty, barring the fuel shortage, which will be keenly felt in some districts, and those too where fuel is most needed.

The first is an open road to talent, that is to say that every man shall have an opportunity to rise to positions of power and responsibility in proportion to his ability, regardless of birth privilege, caste, or other social barriers. The son of the peasant may become the ruler in government or the employer in business by sheer force of his own merit, if he happens to possess merit. The second essential of pure democracy is that they who are in positions of power and responsibility shall be made sensitive to the needs, the desires, and the interests of those over whom they exercise power and responsibility. Irresponsible power, power upon which there is no automatic check, power which may be abused, while they against whom it is misdirected have no effective remedy, is thus incompatible with democracy. Be it understood that power responsibility, and authority are themselves entirely compatible with the highest conceptions of democracy, if only power is made sensitive of responsibility.

"ARD" WIDE FIELD DIAGNOSIS A REMINDER The Cross-Cut By Courtney Ryley Cooper Illustrations by R. B. Van Nice Copyright by Little, Brown & Co. 8YNOP818 CHAPTER I.—At Thornton Fairchild's death his son Robert learns there has been a dark period in his father's life which for almost thirty years has caused him suffering. The secret is hindered at his child, which also informs Robert he is now owner of a mining claim in Colorado, and advising him to see Henry Beamish, a lawyer. CHAPTER II.—Beamish tells Robert his claim, a silver mine, is at Ohadi, thirty-eight miles from Denver. He also warns him against a certain man "Squint" Rodaine, his father's enemy. Robert decides to go to Ohadi. CHAPTER III.—On the road to Ohadi from Denver Fairchild assists a girl, apparently in a frenzy of haste, to change his car into a auto. Then she has left the herif and a pose appear, in pursuit of a bandit. Fairchild bewerled, misleads them as to the direction the girl had taken. CHAPTER IV.—At Ohadi Fairchild is warmly greeted by "Mother" Howard, boarding-house keeper, for his father's sake. CHAPTER V.—From Mother Howard. Fairchild learns something of the mystery connected with the disappearance of "Sis" Larsen in the house of the copier she met. He meets a girl she has assisted, but she denies her identity. She is Anita Richmond, Judge Richmond's daughter. CHAPTER VI.—Visiting his claim. Fairchild is shadowed by a man he recognizes from descriptions as "Squint" Rodaine, placed in Chad, a former old man, Harry Richmond, a former summoned from England by Beamish to help Fairchild, has him with joy. CHAPTER VII.—The pair find the mine flooded and have not sufficient funds to have it pumped dry. Later in the day "Squint" Rodaine announces that he practically saw Harring falls into the flooded mine, and evidently is drowned. CHAPTER VIII.—Harkins being a general favorite, the entire population turns to him. The work is practically done, Harry appears, apparently surprised at the turmoil. It had been a shrewd trick on his post to get the mine pumped out without cost to him or Harring, and the man take it as a good joke. CHAPTER IX.—Fairchild learns that Judge Richmond is dying, and that he and Anita are in the power of the Rodaines. They begin, as partners, to work the mime hearts both the heart-lars killed the heart-lars his body buried by a cave-in which destroyed the mine. At the "Old Times Ball" Fairchild dances with Anita, to the discomfiture of Maurice Rodaine, son of Quint, supposed to be engaged to the Quint, holds a credit holder with and shoots a merrymaker. Maurice Rodaine claims he recognized the bandit as Harkins. The latter is arrested. Fairchild interferes to save Anita from the bullying of the two Rodaines, and is mystified at Anita's apparent gratitude. CHAPTER X.—Fairchild puts up the claim as bond, and secures Harry's release from jail. They are offered $50,000 by an unpaid party, but agree to disregard it. Chappel the mine they come to where they fear to find Larsen's remains. CHAPTER XI.—A skeleton, in a miner's costume, which Harkins has seen, is there, and there seems little doubt that Thornton Fairchild was a murderer. CHAPTER XII.-Fairchild informs the coroner of the discovery of the skeleton. At the inquest, "Crazy Laura," castoff of the lawsuit, "claims that an acknowledged imbecile, given daunting imony against Thornton Fairchild. The jury returns a verdict that Larsen came to his death at Thornton Fairchild's hands. Anita's engagement to Maurice Rodaine is announced. CHAPTER XIII.-Summoned to Denver to receive 'important information' Fairchild is told he has been a child refuses. Returning to Qadi he hears of a marvelous strike made in the Silver Queen, Rodaine's mine, which joins the Blue Poppy. CHAPTER XIV.-The capital of the two partners is rapidly vanishing. Anita appears to be a harry uncover what appears to be her silver. Leaving Harry in the mine Fairchild hastens to have the find assayed. CHAPTER XV.-The assayer tells Fairchild the vein is almost solid silver Hastening back, he finds the mine destroyed by a cave-in, and Harry gone. CHAPTER XVI.—A note from Anita puts Fairchild on Rodaine's track. He follows his enemy to the home of "Crazy Harry," the murderer of Harry, whom the woman had in the house, in an unconscious state. CHAPTER XVI.—In the absence of the Rodaines, Fairchild gets Harry from the house and to a hospital. He has been drugged by the crazy woman, but makes a quick recovery. He tells of escaping the police, unsuspected passage, Judge Richmond dies, Anita friendless. Anita visits the partners in the mine, seeking Fairchild's aid against the Rodaines. Startled by a mysterious noise, the three take refuge in the passage which Harry had found. CHAPTER XVIII.—They find evidence of the existence of a "cross-cut" from the Queen's coffin. They work with the Blue Poppy skin. Two men, henchmen, Blindeye Bezeman and Taylor Bill, are captured. Taylor Bill admits the robbery of the Blue Poppy and also the murderer of man who held up the "Old Times Dance," for which Harry is under indictment. CHAPTER XIX.-Realizing the game is up, Maurice Rodaine endeavors to reach Denver and get away, but is caught in a fight with the police. The "Squint" Rodaine, cornered, jumps from a window and escapes for a time. CHAPTER XX.-Rodaine makes for the house of "Crazy Laura," with intent to destroy incriminating evidence which he knows she possesses. The woman resists and is killed, with Rodaine burned, with Rodaine, "Crazy Laura," with the books in which her warped brain has led her to set down her crimes, committed. Among others, the murder of "Sissie" Larsen and the attempted destruction of the mine are recorded. The murder of Anita's escapade on the Denver road turns out to have been in the nature of a joke, and Robert Fairchild, who is silver vein and Anita's love, finds there is little more on earth to be desired. (Continued from last issue) eyes—" Mother Howard's voice bore a touch of resentment. "I never liked him from the minute I first saw him, and I liked him less afterward. Then I got next to his game. "Your father had been prospecting just like everybody else. He'd come on float up Kentucky gulch and was trying to follow it to the vein. Squint saw him—and what's more, he saw that float. It looked good to Squint—and late that night, I heard him and his two drinking partners, Blindeye Bozeman and Taylor Bill—they just reverse his name for the sound of it—talking in Blindeye's room. I'm a woman—" Mother Howard chuckled—"so I just leaned my head against the door and listened. Then I flew downstairs to wait for your father when he came in from sitting up half the night to get an assay on that float. Squint and them two others was figuring on jumping his claim before he could file on it and all that. "Well, there was a big Cornishman here that I was kind of sweet on—and I guess I always will be. He's been gone now, though, ever since your father left. I got him and asked him to help. And Harry was just the kind of a fellow that would do it. Out in the dead of night they went and staked out your father's claim—Harry was to get 25 per cent—and early the next morning your dad was waiting to file on it, while Harry was waiting for them three. And what a fight it must have been—that Harry was a wildcat in those younger days." She laughed, then her voice grew serious. "But all had its effect. Rodalene didn't jump that claim, and a few of us around here filed dummy claims enough in the vicinity to keep him off of getting too close—but there was one way we couldn't stop him. He had power, and he's always had it—and he's got it now. A lot of awful strange things happened to your father after that—charges were filed against him for things he never did. Jim jumped on him in the dark, then went to the district attorney's office and accused him of making the attack. And the funny part was that the district attorney's office always believed them—and not him. Once they had him just at the edge of the penitentiary, but I—I happened to know a few things that—well, he didn't go." Again Mother Howard chuckled, only to grow serious once more. "Men who went to work for your father and Harry disappeared, or got hurt accidentally in the mine or just quilt through the bad name it was getting. Once Harry, coming down from the tunnel at night, stepped on a little bridge that always before had been as secure and safe as the hills themselves. It fell with him—they went down together thirty feet, and there was nothing but Nature to blame for it, in spite of what we three thought. Then, at last, they got a fellow who was willing to work for them in spite of what Rodalene's crowd—and it consisted of everybody in power—hinted about your father's bad reputation back East and—" "My father never harmed a soul in his life!" Fairchild's voice was hot, resentful. Mother Howard went on: "I know he didn't, Son. I'm only telling the story. Miners are superstitious as a general rule, and they're childish at believing things. It all worked in your father's case—with the exception of Harry and 'Sissie' Larsen, a Swede with a high voice, just about like mine. That's why they gave him the name. He went to work. A few months later they got into good ore. It looked like the bad luck was over at last. Then—" Mother Howard hesitated at the brink of the very nubblin of it all, to A "The Three of Us Drove Up the Main Street." "The Three of Us Drove Up the Main Street." Robert Failchild. A long moment followed, in which he repressed a desire to seize her and wrest it from her, and at last— "It was about dusk one night," she went on. "Harry came in and took me with him into this very room. He kissed me and told me that he must go away. He asked me if I would go with him—without knowing why, And, Son, I trusted him, I would have done anything for him but I wasn't as old then as I am now. I refused—and to this day, I don't know why. It was just woman, I guess. Then he asked me if I would help him. I said I would. "He didn't tell me much; except that he had been uptown spreading the word that the ore had pinched out and that the hanging rock had caved in and that he and 'Sissie' and your father were through, that they (Continued on page 3) SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 Tribune CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rate: 1½ cents per word per issue.

S., Society Editor Sunday, Sept. 10, the Epworth League meeting at the C. M. E. church was well attended and the lesson beautifully discussed. The topic for discussion was: "God's Command and Our Obedience." Mr. W. J. Jones led the meeting and made a very interesting talk. Others who spoke on the subject were: Mr. J. McCoy, Mrs. C. S. V. Jones, Rev. A. C. Caldwell, Mrs. Richardson of Mesa, Mrs. J. Tannehill, Mr. J. Henderson and the president. All made interesting talks and some helpful thoughts were brought out. The topic for next Sunday, September 17, is: "How to Understand the Word of God." Acts 8: 26-35. The discussion will be general and all Phoenix is invited to come and take part. League meeting begins promptly at 6:30 and closes at 7:30. M. A. White, president, Mrs. J. Tannehill, secretary. Benton James, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben James, who last year attended the Northern Arizona Normal in Flagstaff, is a student in the Tempe Normal. He goes over daily on the stage and in this way is permitted to spend his evenings at home with his parents. A great saving is effected and Benton is glad of the opportunity to be so near home. Mrs. T. H. Richardson of Mesa, Arizona, has accepted the position as teacher of the school in the Laveen district, nine miles south of Phoenix. Prof. Raymond Green had charge of this school last year. He is now principal of the school in Globe, Ariz. Mr. Floyd Wilson left this week for Chicago, where he will join his wife who has been spending the summer there. Mr. Chas. Lewis also left this week for Chicago to join his wife who is there visiting friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis will return to Phoenix in October, and their many friends here will gladly welcome them back home. Mrs. Anna Marooney, teacher of the primary grades in the Douglass Grammar school, returned this week from her home in Emporia, Kans., where she spent the summer with relatives. She reports a very delightful trip. Mrs. Ella Jordan of Tucson was a business visitor in Phoenix last week, and while here was the house guest of Mrs. Rachael Moore at 1601 East Jackson street. Mrs. Jordan is the mother of Mrs. C. C. Caldwell, who resides at 1022 East Washington St. Born Thursday night, Sept. 7, to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Crawford of 430 West Lincoln street, a seven and a half pound baby boy.

Caldwell, who left Phoenix several weeks ago for Chicago, is to the effect that Mrs. Caldwell still is suffering with her afflicted foot. Some of the best specialists in Chicago have been called to treat her, but no improvement is noted. Last week she was moved from Chicago to the home of Mr. Caldwells brother in Milwaukee, Wls., where she is reported as resting easily and doing about as well as could be expected. Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell's many friends in Arizona and California hope for her speedy recovery. Dreamland Closes The beautiful and attractive Dreamland Cafe at 548 East Jefferson street, which opened a few months ago in a blaze of glory, closed its doors last week and now the place is dark. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lucas, who conducted the establishment, succeeded in maintaining a high standard of service, but lack of patronage forced them to close the doors. The closing of this and the famous Gillards Cafe proves conclusively that the colored people of Phoenix are not ready for a first-class cafe conducted along modern lines. Only small restaurants and lunch rooms can survive in this community. Some day, perhaps, Phoenix will welcome and support a firstclass cafe. Family Picnic Held Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Green were hosts at an old-fashioned family picnic Sunday at the old country club. Chicken and all the trimmings, ice cream, lemonade and other good things were served in abundance. After the feast, swimming and other sports were indulged in by the guests. In the group that motored to the Country Club Sunday to enjoy the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Green were: Mrs. L. A. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Goosby, Mr. and Mrs. George Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Chas, Gardner, Mrs. Della King, Mr. G. T. Tinsley, Rev. and Mrs. Major Jones, Mr. and Mrs P. S.

Shannon, Mrs. Bryant, daughter and son, Master George Wilson and little sister, Master Frank Goosby and Master James Allen Green, Jr. All had a delightful time and were unanimous in proclaiming Mr. and Mrs. Green excellent hosts. Return from Coast Mrs. Perry Payne and daughter, Miss Eleanor G. Payne, returned Saturday from the coast, where they spent the summer. They spent most of their time in San Diego and were royally entertained by friends. Dr. Richard, a young physician of San Francisco, visited them in San Diego and spent two weeks as their guest. He also is expected to visit them here in January. Mrs. Payne, who had been in poor health, is improved wonderfully and states that she feels like a sixteen-year-old girl. While in Los Angeles they visited Mr. and Mrs. Walter Early at 824 Hemlock street, friends of Mrs. Payne, and with whom she and her daughter formerly lived when they spent the summer in that city. They are highly pleased with the treatment accorded them by friends in every place they visited. Chicken Feast Sept. 21 The Missionary ladies of the Second Baptist church will hold a chicken feast Thursday night, September 21, at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Lott, four miles north on the Camel Back road, third house east of Seventh street. Automobiles will leave the church, corner Fifth street and Jefferson, beginning at 7:30 to 9:30. Everybody invited to come out and enjoy an old-fashioned chicken feast. Remember the date—Thursday evening, September 21. Mrs. Melissa Lott, president; Mrs. Bertha Jones, Sec'y. The National Negro Business League has recently closed its annual convention at Norfolk, Va. Dr. Moton was re-elected President. Five thousand and dollars was raised for the setting out of a constructive program, and a decision to hold a silver jubilee in Chicago in 1924. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING (Continued from page 2) were beaten and were going away that night. But—and Harry waited a long time before he told me this-'Sissle' was not going with them. "'I'm putting a lot in your hands,' he told me, 'but you've got to help us. 'Sissle' won't be there—and I can't tell you why. The town must think that he is. Your voice is just like 'Sissle's'. You've got to help us out of town.' "And I promised. Late that night, the three of us drove up the main street, your father on one side of the seat, Harry on the other, and me, dressed in some of 'Sissie's clothes, half hidden between them. Nobody dreamed that I was anyone else but the Swede—my head was tipped forward, so they couldn't see my features. We drove outside town and stopped. Then we said goodby, and I put on an old dress that I had brought with me and sneaked back home. Nobody knew the difference." "But Larsen—"f "You know as much as I do, Son." "You never saw Larsen again?" "I never saw any of them. That was the end." "But Rodaine—?" "He's still here. You'll hear from him—plenty soon. I could see that, the minute Blindey Bozeman and Taylor Bill began taking your measure. You noticed they left the table before the meal was over? It was to tell Rodaine." "Then he fight me, too?" Mother Howard laughed—and her voice was harsh. "Rodaine's a rattlesnake. His son's a rattlesnake. His wife's crazy—Old Crazy Laura. He drove her that way. She lives by herself, in an old house on the Georgeville road. And she'd kill for him, even if he does beat her when she goes to his house and begs him to take her back. That's the kind of a crowd it is. Just to put a good finish on it all, the young 'un moves in the best society in town and spends most of his time trying to argue the former district judge's daughter into marrying him. So there you are. That's all Mother Howard knows, Son." She turned to the door and then, turning, patted Fairchild on the shoulder. "Boy," came quietly, "you've got a broad back and a good head. Rodaine beat your father—don't let him beat you. And always remember one thing: Old Mother Howard's played the game before, and she'll play it with you—dark streets aren't exactly the place for you." Robert Fairchild obeyed the instructions, a victim of many a conjecture, many an attempt at reasoning as he sought sleep that was far away. Again and again there rose before him the vision of two men in an open buggy, with a person between them whom Ohadi believed to be an effeminate-voiced Swede; in reality, only a woman. And why had they adopted the expedient? Why had not Larsen been with them in reality? It was hours before Fairchild found sleep, and even then it was a thing of troubled visions. Streaming sun awakened him, and he hurried to the dining room to find himself the last lodger at the tables. He ate a rather hasty meal, made more so by an impatient waltress, then with the necessary papers in his pocket, Fairchild started toward the courthouse and the legal procedure which must be undergone before he made his first trip to the mine. A block or two, and then Fairchild suddenly halted. Crossing the street at an angle just before him was a young woman whose features, whose mannerisms he recognized. The whipcord riding habit had given place now to a tailored suit which deprived her of the boyishness that had been so apparent on their first meeting. The cap had disappeared before a close-fitting, varicolored turban. But the straying brown hair still was there, the brown eyes, the pliant little nose and the prettily formed lips. Fairchild's heart thumped—nor did he stop to consider why. A quickening of his pace, and he met her just as she stepped to the curbing. "I'm so glad of this opportunity," he exclaimed happily. "I want to return that money to you. I—I was so fussed yesterday I didn't realize—" "Aren't you mistaken?" She looked at him with a slight smile. Fairchild did not catch the inflection. "Oh. no. I'm the man, you know, who helped you change that tire on the Denver road yesterday." "Pardon me." This time one brown eye had wavered ever so slightly, indicating someone behind Fairchild. "But I wasn't on the Denver road yesterday, and if you'll excuse me for saying so, I don't remember ever having seen you before." There was a little light in her eyes which took away the sting of the denial, a light which seemed to urge caution, and at the same time to tell Fairchild that she trusted him to do his part as a gentleman in a thing she wished forgotten. More fussed than ever, he drew back and bent low in apology, while she passed on. Half a block away, a young man rounded a corner and, seeing her, hastened to join her. She extended her hand; they chatted a moment, then strolled up the street together. Fairchild watched blankly, then turned at a chuckle just behind him emanating from the bearded lips of an old miner, loafing on the stone coping in front of a small store. "Pick the wrong filly, pardner?" came the query. Fairchild managed to smile. "Guess so." Then he lied quickly, "I thought she was a girl from Denver." "Her? The old miner stretched. "Nope. That's Anita Richmond, old Judge Richmond's daughter. Guess she must hev been expecting that young fellow—or she wouldn't have cut you off so short. She isn't usually that way." "Her fiance?" Fairchild asked the question with misgiving. The miner finished his stretch and added a yawn to it. Then he looked appraisingly up the street toward the retreating figures. "Well, some say he is and some say he ain't. Guess it mostly depends on the girl, and she ain't telling yet." "And the man—who is he?" "Him? Oh, he's Maurice Rodaine, ion of a pretty famous character M. L. "Oh, He's Maurice Rodaine." around here, old Squint Rodaine, Owns the Silver Queen property up the hill. Ever hear of him?" The eyes of Robert Fairchild narrowed, and a desire to fight—a longing to grapple with Squint Rodaine and all that belonged to him—surged into his heart. But his voice, when he spoke, was slow and suppressed. "Squint Rodaine? Yes, I think I have. The name sounds rather familiar." Then, deliberately, he started up the street, following at a distance the man and the girl who walked before him. CHAPTER VI There was no specific reason why Robert Falrchild should follow Maurice Rodaine and the young woman who had been described to him as the daughter of Judge Richmond, whoever he might be. Resentment was in his heart—resentment that the family of Rodaine should be connected in some way with the plquant, mysterious little person he had helped out of a predicament on the Denver road the day before. And, to his chagrin, the very fact that there was a connection added a more sinister note to the escapade of the exploded tire and the pursuing sheriff; as he walked along, his gaze far ahead, Falrchild found himself wondering whether there could be more than mere coincidence in it all, whether she was a part of the Rodaine schemes and the Rodaine trickery, whether— But he ceased his wondering to turn sharply into a nearby drug store; there absently to give an order at the soda fountain and stand watching the pair who had stopped just in front of him on the corner. She was the same girl; there could be no doubt of that, and he raged inwardly as she chatted and chaffed with the man who looked down upon her with a smiling air of proprietorship which instilled instant rebellion in Fairchild's heart. Nor did he know the reason for that, either. After a moment they parted, and Fairchild gulped at his fountain drink. She had hesitated, then with a quick decision turned straight into the drug store. "Buy a ticket, Mr. McCauley?" she asked of the man behind the counter. "I've sold twenty already, this morning. Only five more, and my work's over. Please take the five, won't you? Then I'll be through." "I'll be darned if I will." Nita!" Me Cauley backed against a shelf case in mock self-defense. "Every time you've got anything you want to get rid of, you come in here and shove it off on me. There's only four in my family and four's all I'm going to take." He tossed four silver dollars on the show case and took the tickets. The girl demurred. "But how about the fifth one? I've got to sell that too—" "Well, sell it to him." And Fairchild, looking into the soda-fountain mirror, saw himself indicated as the druggist started toward the prescription case. There was a moment of awkward silence as Fairchild gazed intently into his soda glass, then with a feeling of queer excitement, set it on the marble counter and turned. Anita Richmond was approaching—in a stranger-like manner—a ticket of some sort held before her. "Pardon me," she began, "but would you care to buy a ticket to the Old Times dance? It's a sort of municipal thing, gotten up by the bureau of mines—to celebrate the return of silver mining." "But—I'm afraid I'm not much on dancing." "You don't have to be. Nobody'll dance much—except the old-fashioned affairs. You see, everybody's supposed to represent people of the days when things were booming around here. There'll be a fiddle orchestra, and a dance caller and everything like that and a bar—but of course there'll only be imitation liquor. But." she added with quick emphasis, "there'll be a lot of things really real—real keno and roulette and in the costume of thirty or forty years ago. Don't you want to buy a ticket? It's the last one I've got!" she added prettily. "When's it to be?" "A week from tomorrow night. Are you going to be here that long?" She realized the slip of her tongue and colored slightly. Fairchild, recovered now, reached into a pocket and carefully fingered the bills there. Then, with a quick motion, as he drew them forth, he covered a ten-dollar bill with a one-dollar note and thrust them forward. "Yes. I'll take the ticket." Yes, I'll take the ticket. She handed it to him, thanked him, and reached for the money. As it passed into her hand, a corner of the ten-dollar bill revealed itself, and she hastily thrust it toward him as though to return money paid by mistake. Just as quickly, she realized his purpose and withdrew her hand. "Oh!" she exclaimed, almost in a whisper, "I understand." She flushed and stood a second hesitant, flustered, her big eyes almost childish as they looked up into his. "You—you must think I'm a cad!" Then she whirled and left the store, and a slight smile came to the lips of Robert Fairchild as he watched her hurrying across the street. He had won a tiny victory, at least. With a new enthusiasm, a greater desire than ever to win out in the fight which had brought him to Oahad, he hurried to the courthouse and the various technicalities which must be coped with before he could really call the Blue Poppy mine his own. It was easier than he thought. A few signatures, and he was free to wander through town to where idlers had pointed out Kentucky gulch and to begin the steep ascent up the narrow road on a tour of prospecting that would precede the more legal and more safe system of a surveyor. The ascent was almost sheer in places, for in Kentucky gulch the hills huddled close to the little town and rose in precipitous inclines almost before the city, limits had been reached. He stepped aside to allow the passage of ore-laden automobile trucks, loaded until the springs had flattened and until the engines howled with their compression as they sought to hold back their burdens on the steep grade. And it was as he stood there, watching the big vehicles travel down the mountain side, that Fairchild caught a glimpse of a human figure which suddenly darted behind a clump of scrub pine and skirted far to one side, taking advantage of every covering. A new beat came into Fairchild's heart. He took to the road again, plodding upward, seemingly a man entirely bereft of suspicion. A quarter of a mile he went, a half. Once, as the road turned beside a great rock, he sought its shelter and looked back. The figure still was following, running carefully now along the bank of the stream in an effort to gain as much ground as possible before the return of the road to open territory should bring the necessity of caution again. A mile more, then, again in the shelter of rocks, he swerved and sought a hiding place, watching anxiously from his concealment for evidences of discovery. There were none. The shadower came on, displaying more and more caution as he approached the rocks, glancing hurriedly about him as he moved swiftly from cover to cover. Closer—closer—then Fairchild repressed a gasp. The man was old, almost white-haired, with hard, knotted hands which seemed to stand out from his wrists; thin and wry with the resiliency that outdoor, hardened muscles often give to age, and with a face that held Fairchild almost hypnotized. It was like a hawk's; hookbeaked, colorless, toneless in all expressions save that of a malicious tenacity; the eyes were slanted until they resembled those of some fantastic Chinese image, while just above the curving nose a blue-white scar ran straight up the forehead—Squint Rodainel. So he was on the trail already! Fairchild watched him pass, sneak around the corner of the rocks, and stand a moment in apparent bewilderment as he surveyed the ground before him. A mumbling curse and he went on, his cautious gait discarded, walking briskly along the rutty, boulder-strewn road toward a gaping hole in the hill, hardly a furlong away. There he surveyed the ground carefully, bent and stared hard at the earth, apparently for a trace of footprints, and finding none, turned slowly and looked intently all about him. Carefully he approached the mouth of the tunnel and stared within. Then he straightened, and with another glance about him, hurried off up a gulch leading away from the road, into the hills. Fairchild lay and watched him until he was out of sight, and he knew instinctively that a surveyor would only cover beaten territory now. Squint Rodaine, he felt sure, had pointed out to him the Blue Poppy mine. Hurriedly he descended the rocks once more to turn toward town and toward Mother Howard's boarding house. He wanted to tell her what he had seen and to obtain her help and counsel. Quickly he made the return trip, crossing the little bridge over the turbulent Clear creek and heading toward the boarding house. Half a block away he halted, as a woman on the veranda of the big, squarely built "hotel" pointed him out, and the great figure of a man shot through the gate, shouting, and hurried toward him. A tremendous creature he was, with red face and black hair which seemed to scramble in all directions at once, and with a mustache which appeared to scamper in even more directions (To be continued) METAL WELL NAMED It is said that Ekebeg, the Swedish discoverer of tantalub, gave that name to the metal because of the tantalizing difficulties he encountered while investigating it.

SMITH, General Agent for Arizona 1302 East Jefferson St. Phoenix, Arizona Amu PRESCOTT Mother Youngblood is Dead Mother, thou wast mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening When it floats among the trees. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low; Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our songs shall know. Dearest Mother, thou hast left us; Here, thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God that hast bereft us; He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled; Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed. At four o'clock Monday, Mother Youngblood passed away, after several days' illness. She was stricken with complicated stomach trouble, and all during her short illness slept the greater portion of the time. When aroused, she was gentle, and when asked, would reply "I have no pains." Her end was peaceful and serene—not a single struggle. Mother Youngblood was born November 20, 1861, at Union Parish, Louisiana; lived there until 1896; was married at the age of fourteen, and was the mother of fourteen children. After 35 years the family moved to Junction City, Ark., and during this same year her beloved husband passed away. She lived there 23 years, and in 1919, became a resident of Prescott. She had 22 grandchildren, fourteen living, eight dead. Nine of her children are married; five are dead.

She was a dutiful Christian, always at her post, regardless of the heat or cold. She was STRA HAIR A Refining and Straig Kinky or Coarse, Stubbor dutiful in visiting the sick, and was considered by the Fort Whipple patients as Mother of Ward 16. She prayed many a prayer and wept over the dying young men in room one of this building. Her work here among us and at Tucson proved that she was a consistent Christian. Much credit is due her daughter, Mrs. Dora Douglas, who struggled hard, purchased a home in Prescott and one in Tucson, for the comfort of her mother, brother and three children. All of the children did all they could for her comfort during her lifetime. Her age at death was 60 years, 9 months and 20 days. The funeral services will be held Sunday at 2:30 o'clock, at Mount Olive Baptist church, of which she was a member. She was for 22 years a member of the Eastern Star and was financial at death with her membership at her former home. The Eastern Star chapters here will conduct the funeral. Mrs. L. A. McCarty has been very sick but is a little better. At times she suffers untold misery, but was reported much better. All of the Prescott folks, white and colored, are in sympathy with Mrs. McCarty in her suffering, and it is the hope of all that she have a speedy recovery. Many prayers are offered in her behalf. Madam Hilbert is still away on her buying tour, but is expected home soon. Daughter Ramsey is still suffering with her eyes and has missed several days from the store. It is hoped that she will soon recover from this attack. Mr. George Taylor received a hard fall while trying to pull up a stake that his horse was tied to in the cemetery, and he is quite sick.

Coffroth, fight promoter, left last Wednesday for New York City, where he is to confer with Jack Kearns regarding a fight between Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson here next October. It is said that Coffroth will not attempt to promote a bout in the bull ring here, but that he will confer with Kearns on the possibility of arranging a fight between the champion and the ex-heavyweight champion. It is also reported that several local business men have already communicated with Kearns in this connection, and assured Kearns of their support for a fight between the two heavyweights. Local sport fans think that the match will be a great drawing card. ble a member. But our loss is heaven's gain. Mr. Roy Gray passed away last Friday at Fort Whipple. Mr. Gray was born in Paris, Texas, and the body was shipped there for burial. He was loved by all of his comrades, nurses and doctors. He had been a patient there for some time. His many friends in the city learned with sorrow of his death. Mr. Clarence Maxwell has been very sick, but is up and out at his business at times. He had a sudden attack and was quite sick. It is hoped that he will soon recover from the attack. Mr. and Mrs. John Hodges are expected to arrive in the city at the Albert Lee Sells' home. They are friends of Mr. Sells, and will stop with him at his home. They are coming from Jasper, Texas. Mrs. Clarence Maxwell is reported sick his week, and it is hopeful that she will soon recover from the illness. A few weeks ago Mrs. Maxwell underwent a slight operation at the Fort and she was confined to her bed for a few weeks. She is not strong from the operation. Mother Ramsey left Houston Sunday, 10th instant, for Prescott, and is expected to arrive very soon.

ROBINSON STOPS KELLY BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 15—George Robinson, the Cambridge baker, needed but four rounds last Friday night to put to sleep Boston's Handsome Kelly, whose string of knockouts won him a battle with the sturdy Robinson. The bout was schedultd for 10 rounds. Kelly was in bad shape when he came out for the fourth round, and Robinson used but little more than a minute in putting him away. In this session Kelly was floored, after a fast exchange, but struggled to his feet. He went down again and stayed down. A. B. C's. WIN 10 TO 6 PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 15—The Indianapolis A. B.

DEMPSEY STILL IS TRYING TO DODGE MATCH WITH WILLS DEMPSEY STILL IS TRYING TO DODGE MATCH WITH WILLS NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 16—Harry Wills, the Bronze Panther of New Orleans, with a crushing right hook to the jaw, after two minutes and five seconds of fighting in the third round of his bout with "Tutt" Jackson, of Washington Court House, Ohio, fame, vindicated himself and firmly established his position last Tuesday night at Ebbett's Field, flooring his challenger for the count. Exactly one week from the day, when he disposed of "Buddy" Jackson in Newark, N. J., before an enthusiastic gathering of Elks, Wills disposed of the other Jackson, and thus practically swept away the final barrier to a match with the present heavyweight champion—Jack Dempsey. Followers of "Filistiana" are wondering what subterfuge the wily Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, will resort to in a tutile attempt to stave off a championship bout between Dempsey and Wills. Fight Must Be Staged And, inevitable as the coming of another championship match, Wills and Dempsey WILL meet. Just when, where, how soon, no one, just now, is in position to tell. But Wills' two recent victories, while they can hardly be called sensational, have certainly knocked all competition out of the way. The public has been clamoring for Wills to really show his class. He has done this in no uncertain way. White heavies would not meet him, so he took the only colored men in his class who showed that they had any records, and disposed of them—yes, disposed of them so easily, in fact, that the aftermath is rather amusing, from a mere reader's point of view. This leaves Dempsey with only one course to pursue. Either he will have to agree to meet Wills—and soon—or step down, and give his title to someone who will fight. It is needless for him to travel all over the country attempting to meet set-ups, like the fat, over-sized Billy Miske, Bill Brennan, or the rapidly-aging hunk, Jess Willard. Boxing commissions will not stand for it—the cancellation of the Labor Day attraction having shown as much. Now They're Singin' 'em And now sport writers are beginning to sing the "Blues" again. They are trying to discredit the fact that Wills knocked out both his opponents—knocked them into a cuckoo with practically no effort. Here's the gist of their lament: First—A leading sport authority, has stated that Wills, while the leading contender for Dempsey's crown, is no match for the American champ. Second—Chairman William Muldoon, of the New York Boxing Commission, has announced that he has begun investigation into "Tutt" Jackson's record. Now, let's see just how far these statements should go. Of course, no one takes the talk of the gentleman from New York seriously. For those who saw the fight last Tuesday night, are unanimous in their opinion that Wills will give Mr. Dempsey the fight of his young life. And, again, Mr. Dempsey must think that Wills is somewhat of a "Panther," for he continually refuses—not in words—but in actions, to be enticed to sit on a three-legged stool opposite the bronze adonis. And why? Just because he knows that when that fateful day comes, the championship is likely, very likely to once again change hands. This selfsame man also gives as another reason, that Wills cannot hit as hard as Carpentier! Think of it! A man who can floor Norfolk with a blow which travels barely six inches; a man who broke six of Fred Fulton's ribs with his punishing body blows; a man who simply toyed with Buddy Jackson and made him dizzy when he got good and ready; a man who fractured three of "Tutt" Jackson's ribs and injured his spinal column, CANNOT hit as HARD as the 175-pound Frenchman? These facts should prove conclusively to any fair-minded sport, the ambiguity of the statements of the Eastern sire. Then again, he intimates that Wills cannot "Take It." Now, who has proven that he can't? No one! Mr. Dempsey, possibly, is the only one who might be able to show the sporting world whether or not Wills can "take it," but never a peep from Mr. Dempsey. All you can hear from that angust gentleman, down east, is the gentle refrain of $500,000. All he wants is a lease on the Treasury Department of the United States and a couple of the government mints. But force of Musical Comedy HOMESTEAD GRAYS HAVE FINE RECORD FOR MONTH PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. 15—The Homestead Grays, Pittsburgh's leading seim-professional ball club, have amassed a wonderful record for the past season. The club played 29 games during the month of August. Out of these they won 22, tied six and lost one. With such men as Lefty Williams, Canady and Owens on the pitching staff; Win Harris, Mo Harris, Hap Allen and Jap Washington on the infield; with Young and Johnson on the receiving end; and an outfield composed of Moody, Mashaw, Brown and any one of the pitchers able to fit in utility roles, the club, under the active management of "Cum" Posey, is playing the greatest ball of its career. circumstances might bring about a meeting—with no train load of shekels either—AND THEN! About the Investigation Chairman Muldoon says that he'll have to investigate the record of the Ohio youth. No one discredits that statement. But Mr. Muldoon must remember that it was the white dallies which gave "Tutt" such a wonderful play, with his enormous reach of 80% inches, his royal height, and his wonderful weight. These papers were the ones that literally shoved Jackson into a fight with Willis. True, the accounts might have been exaggerated. But did any commission investigate the facts, when Carpenter, weighing little more than 170 pounds, met the close to 200 pound Dempsey? No, not one. And a fighter in the heavyweight class must battle at catch weights. They say that "Tutt" was a "novice," but ringside followers claim that the defeated youth was clever, in a way. Everyone belleyd that he did not have the experience. But the white public was hoping against hope that the dangerous Wills would go down. Otherwise, why such publicity? Wills Still Waiting Having disposed of his opponents, Willis is still, silently, but vigilantly waiting for Dempsey to make a move. And when Dempsey does move, then he will come forward. Wills does not want a fortune. All he wants is a crack at the title. When will he get it? The race waits in suspense. CARPENTIER GOES (Preston News Service) PARIS, France, Sept. 15—Announcement has reached here that George Carpentier, European heavyweight champion, has retired from the ring and will go into the movies. Paris appears to be unmoved over the announcement, but those in the know, say that Battling Sikl's impressive showing has had a great deal to do with Carpentier's retirement. PRESTON BROWN LOSES PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 15.—Panama Barney defeated the veteran boxer, Preston Brown of this city last Thursday night in a flashy bout.

Brown was badly marked during the contest, but was on his feet when the final bell rang. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? My sister's eldest child is a girl. When she was six years old, twins were born.
