COLORED VOTERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY LINING UP FOR CANDIDATES WHO PROMISE SQUARE DEAL TO RACE (Special Correspondence to The Associated Negro Press.) Newark, N. J., Oct. 20.—The Negro vote in this state appears to be climbing into the Governor Edwards' band wagon. Not on any wet or dry issue, but on a "square deal" issue. Senator Frelinghuysen dodged the "Dyer Bill." The story is that he saw it coming and he "ducked the blow." Hence, it is declared by those who affect to know, the colored vote is about to hand him a bird that bites rather than a dove with an olive branch in its beak. Thusly are we being given another sign that the colored man's memory of "befo' de wah" times is growing weak and that he is showing a decided inclination to throw the "Lincoln idol" into the sea of his fullest forgetfulness. The first sign of the revolt came in the Ninth Congressional District last summer where the colored voters sprang a young colored attorney, William D. Brandon, as their choice for the congressional nomination. Unfortunately, they now are claiming a supposedly strong white man threw his hat into the ring in an effort to wrest from R. Wyne Parker, the present incumbent, the honor of representing the district in the lower national house of representatives. They were led to believe that this white aspirant had considerable strength among the white republicans in the district and, by deserting Brandon, they could the more easily dethrone Parker. This proved to be a trap. In the primaries Parker polled quite the full republican vote and was nominated. Brandon polled 1200 votes and, of course, fell behind in the race. Nothing doing this time. To make sure that their resentment shall have full and determining play they propose to cast as near a solid colored vote for Edwards as it is possible to get out. That is the present program of these Negro rebels. "We have got a good chance to do what we have in mind to do this year. We are as yet a little skeptical about national democrats. But Governor Edwards is a Cleveland democrat. We have reached the point where it is absolutely imperative that we give due recognition to the difference between a northern democrat and a southern democrat. Anyhow, we have got to get somewhere. Standing still won't do the job. We must take a start. Senator Freylinghuysen hasn't been any too particular in his study of our interests and why should we be worried about his. We are not asking to marry into the Frelinghuysen family. What we want is to be recognized as one of the nation's elements that is heartily interested in the country's welfare. If that is asking too much, well—we want it, that's all." And there one gets the thing in a small basket. These rebels believe they are not getting a "square deal" from the republican managers in this state. They want to fight about it. "If they stick out," says a bystander, "Frelinghuysen is beaten beyond all cavil. It may be all talk. But you can never tell. These people have been very patient and I believe have been handed the 'BULL' to the limit. The senator has a family name behind him which is one of the traditions." It is the crushed grape that gives out the bood-red wine; it is the suffering soul that breathes the sweetest melodies.—Gall Hamilton. VOL.

PREACHERS TO JOIN THEIR ORDER (By the Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 20—Has the nefarious Ku Klux Klan got a "hook" in the back of the great Methodist church, the church of human justice in America? The Methodist Episcopal Church has nearly 400,000 Colored members, three Colored bishops, Bishops P. E. Jones and Camphor, now active; and Scott, retired. The Rock River Conference of the Methodist Church, did a remarkable thing last week at the annual conference. After passing a resolution condemning the Klux, the next day a motion to reconsider was offered, and the resolution of condemnation was withdrawn. The Ohio Conference, too, refused to condemn it last month. New York Has Troubles Proselyting activities of the Ku Klux Klan are evidently continuing in New York City with unabated energy. They are now sending to ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church a circular letter, addressed "To Protestant Men of American Birth," in which the assertion is made that the "Klan is a semi-religious body and is bringing men back into the Protestant churches." One of the leading ministers of New York City received one of these circular letters through the mall, the Klan people evidently thinking he was a white man. The minister forwarded the circular to "THE NEW YORK AGE" with the following comment: "Inclosed you will find this. Ku Klux SANTA FE, Oct. 20—Governor and Mrs. Thomas E. Campbell will head the Arizona delegation which will come to Santa Fe about November 15 to attend the final conference of the Colorado river commission, it was announced today by Governor Mechem.

Norviel, Arizona irrigation commissioner. AGED MAN PASSES (By The Associated Negro Press) ATCHINSON, Kans., Oct. 20—John Green, 107, who spent nearly half of his life in slavery, died at the county farm here last Friday. He was born in Kentucky in 1815, and came to Kansas in 1888. letter. The sender knew the New York Conference was a white conference, supposed that all the members were white. I am under the impression that all the white ministers are being approached by this insidious enemy, and probably many have already been captured. Do you ask what is the matter with the Church? Many of them are Christless. The blank pledge sent with the circular letter reads as follows: "I am a native-white Gentile Protestant American. "Born in "I believe in, and am a supporter of the Constitution of the United States. I agree to keep secret whatever information may be confided to me relating to the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." (with blanks for name and address.) PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922 WHITE SOUTHERNER ENDORSES THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a statement from Bolton Smith, of Memphis, Tennessee, president in 1919 of the local Rotary Club, and a trustee of the University of Tennessee, endorsing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which is to come to a vote in the Senate during the next session of Congress. The statement of Mr. Smith was said to be especially significant, by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Advancement Association, in that Mr. Smith declared the Bill contained no special attack upon the South. Mr. Smith in his statement declares: "The crime of lynching is, next to the assassination of a prominent officer of the Nation, one of the greatest which can be committed. * * * It is a crime against the Nation in a very real sense, and therefore should be triable by Federal Courts." Mr. Smith's statement in full is as follows: September 27th, 1922. "I am in favor of the Dyer Bill, giving Federal Courts jurisdiction in connection with the crime of lynching under certain cases, because: "1. I believe that local sentiment in many places is too strong to permit local authorities to enforce the law against mobs." "2. A trial before a jury in a United States Court is not a trial before an allen tribunal. But the jury is selected from the people of the entire state or district, and one is assured of a more impartial jury—one not terrorized by that local sentiment which usually is so blatant after any mob action. Few officers have the courage to oppose strong local sentiment. "3. There is no special attack on the South in such a measure. It is required by the progress of the country, north as well as south. As common Negro labor has moved into the North, Negroes have been lynched by white mobs there, too. "That some Southern men who sincerely oppose lynching should not favor the Dyer Bill is due to a misapprehension of its effect and purpose. There is no part of the United States in which those favoring the due process of law for the punishment of crime should not be in favor of the punishment of lynchers by Federal Courts, whenever local officials fail to do their duty." 4. The lynching of Negroes by white mobs is bad enough, but there is some danger that we will, before long, be faced with an even more dangerous character of lynching, namely the lynching of those of one religious faith by those of another faith. This would divide America into hostile camps and produce civil war, and we need a law that will enable the Federal Courts to repress these cases with the utmost severity. "5. The crime of lynching is, next to the assassination of a prominent officer of the Nation, one of the greatest which can be committed. This is especially so where it is performed by one class or race and suffered by another, which other race or class regards the lynching as an attack against every one of its members. A lynching in Georgia tends to disturb labor conditions not only in the adjoining states, but in the entire South, and is not without its effect in embittering race relations in the North. It cannot be regarded as merely against the peace and dignity of the State within whose limits it is committed. Its evil effect spreads far beyond those limits. It is a crime against the Nation in a very real sense and therefore should be triable by Federal Courts. "6. I do not assume that this law will immediately stop lynching; but it will be one step in that direction. Above all, it would impress the officials of every state with the determination of the people at large to stop this crime. The effect of a few trials in the Federal Courts will be highly beneficial." (Signed) BOLTON SMITH." Statistics prove that human irritability increases as the summer temperature mounts. Keeping cool mentally as well as physically is one of the special needs of the season. DR. R. R. MOTON TO DELIVER SEVERAL ADDRESSES ABROAD (By the Associated Negro Press) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Oct. 20—A wireless message received in New York City from the steamship Paris, states that Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, and President of the National Negro Business League, who is enroute to France on the steamship Paris, made a strong appeal in behalf of the French seamen, at the Sunday evening ship concert, October 8th. at which time many prominent Americans spoke. In response to the appeals made, seven thousand francs were contributed by the passengers. The program was presided over by the Hon. Myron T. Herrick, American Ambassador to France. In introducing Dr. Moton, Mr. Herrick referred to the splendid work which Dr. Moton was doing through the Tuskegee Institute, the International Commission and the National Negro Business League, and to the fact that he was the representative of the Negro race at the Unvelling of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C., May 30. Dr. Moton is enroute to Paris, from which point he will go to Glasgow Scotland, where he will be the principal speaker before the Scottish Churches Missionary Congress, at the morning and afternoon sessions of October 17. While abroad, Dr. Moton will address other bodies in Scotland, England and France. RECORD SHOWS THAT BIRTH RATE AMONG BLACKS IS HIGHEST (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 20—A record low death rate was established last year in the registration areas of the United States, according to an announcement tonight by the department of commerce, which gave the 1921 rate as 11.7 per thousand population, against 13.1 in 1920. The infant mortality rate for 1921 also decreased from 1920, according to the statement, which gave the rate for 1921 as 76 per thousand for the previous year. The areas include a population of 70,425,000. The birth rate for 1921 was 24.3 per thousand, against 23.7 per thousand in 1920. The statement showed 1,714,261 births in the registration areas, 325,510 deaths, of which 129,588 were of children under one year. These figures include blacks and whites in the North and the South. In the South the blacks are shown to have a smaller death rate and a higher birthrate than the whites. COLORED VOTERS ASKED TO MEET TUESDAY NIGHT The Colored Republican voters of Phoenix and Maricopa County, are urgently requested to attend the meeting Tuesday night, Oct. 24 at Dorris Hall. One of the hottest elections in years will soon take place in Arizona and the colored citizens of the state MUST take an active part in this campaign. Let us have a representative gathering of the citizens of this community at the Tuesday night meeting, to the end that we may organize our forces and wage an intensive campaign. Both men and women invited. COLORED MEN'S REPUBLICAN CLUB ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF C. M. E. CHURCH WAS GREAT SUCCESS The annual conference of the C. M. E. church for the California-Arizona District was held last week in this city at the local C. M. E. church. All sessions were well attended and it proved the most successful conference ever held by Bishop Phillips in this district. All preachers had round reports and the Missionary ladies went over the top in grand style. Sunday morning, Bishop Phillips delivered the sermon to a packed house and his remarks were well received. In the evening, Rev. Anderson, of Los Angeles, delivered the sermon. The appointments were made Sunday night, and were as follows: Los Angeles District: W. B. Butler, presiding elder; Santa Monica, J. W. Parham; Berkeley, F. W. Haynes; San Diego, Wm. Seldon; El Centro, D. C. Carter; Watts, L. S. White; West Los Angeles, I. B.

Thompson, local pastor, and his members for the royal manner in which they entertained the delegates. They also extended Bishop Phillips a vote of thanks. The Missionary ladies presented the Bishop a hat as a token of the esteem in which he is held by the members of this society. Mrs. Harris made the presentation speech. Rev. Anderson, who for the past seven years has pastored the church in Los Angeles, transferred to the Kentucky-Ohio conference, which is presided over by Bishop N. C. Cleaves. Los Angeles Station goes without a pastor and Bishop Phillips will transfer a man from one of his Alabama conferences to fill this charge. Following are the conferences to be held by Bishop Phillips: North Alabama, Birmingham, Nov. 29; Central Alabama, Talladega, Dec. 6; Alabama, Montgomery, Dec. 13. The Bishop and several of the delegates left Monday evening for the coast, where he will spend a few weeks before returning east. All delegates to the conference were well cared for by members of the church, and the pastor, Rev. M. Thompson, and his officers desire to thank all who helped to entertain the delegates. Many social functions were given in honor of the delegates by local people. KLANISM SPREADING (By The Associated Negro Press) SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Oct. 20—Picturesque and mysterious as have been the activities of the Ku Klux Klan in the Southwest, nothing so far done by the "Invisible Empire" will approach in its startling uniqueness the ambitious project under way in this city—the establishment of a large secret chamber in a mammoth Missouri cave. The chamber, mysterious, weird, and replete with stalactites and stalagmites, will be used for ceremonial purposes by the ghostly looking wearers of the white hood and gown. The cave—Percy's Cave, it is called—is on a 118-acre tract five miles northwest of here. It has been purchased by the Springfield klan at an estimated cost of $40,000. A rumor has gained currency that the Negroes in this part of the State are laying plans to dynamite the cave here. BLACK NOW ALL THE RAGE IN PARIS SINCE SIKI DEFEATED CARPENTIER IN SPECTACULAR BOXING CONTE (Special Correspondence to The Associated Negro Press.) Paris, Franc, Oct. 20.—The newspaper reports concernin Paris going "ebony mad" since Siki whipped Carpentier so nally are but mild echoes of the real situation here. Black men literally are worth their weight in gold. Black women are worn literally twice their weight in gold, because they are half scarce as black men. As for blondes this is one place on the mundane sphere where their kind don't cut as much ice with the populace as a man with no legs counts with a woman who has lost both eyes. Black silk stockings are being worn by the women for the first time in three years. Blonde beauties are dyeing their hair black. Diane Pleuris, the noted Black Cat cabaret star, is a pearing nightly with her bobbed hair carefully kinked. And, top the whole craze with an overtone of sentiment, the female beauties of this city of fame, fashion, and fecund innovation are asserting "dark complexioned men understand women so much better than other complexions of men." Now. isn't that handling the light complexions "the bird." In the meantime, Siki (with the accent on the "ki") is taking things easy and behaving himself graciously up among the Hollanders where he is as big a hit as he became in Paris. He isn't broke, either. He isn't swimming in a river of France, but he has enough to pay his reasonable way and a little to spare. You know his wife is a Hollander. She doesn't belong to the nobility of the "Low Dutch," of course, but her folks are good living people, and, if reports are true reaching here, they are rather proud of their new found son-in-law and his prowess as ring fighter. One of the interesting facts affecting the pugilistic victory of the big Senegalese is the emphatic realization that his achievement is not regarded as a sign of "The Rising Tide of Color." For it must be remembered that Siki is French, literally French, to the very bone. He speaks and thinks in terms of the French language quite apart from and above the spirit of his class. This is one of the remarkable features of the man. Whatever man may be said to the contrary he does not "dis" and "dat" in French. It is true that he does not ejaculate Salon French, but his speech is singularly free from the vulgarisms of the lower classes and even punctuated with periods of sound common sense seldom found among the prize fighting fraternity in anybody's old land. Just the same, however, he has made Paris like black, it's kinky hair, and "the dark complexion man's better understanding of womankind." A good deal of this is fiddlestick and fiddledum. Men are men the world over. It does demonstrate though, that at bottom "color prejudice" is really myth. Robbed of its present economic determination there wouldn't be enough "color problem" of the United States without thinking, smilingly of the numbers of mixed blood over there and of how they come to be mixed. It is, indeed, one of the big jokes of the centuries. And Paris has adjudged the now renowned Siki one good fellow through and through. The world truly moves. Ku Klux paraders will have to show their faces in Oakland, California, or go to jail, by the terms of an ordinance passed by the City Council, at the instance of the Northern California Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and its president.' John D. Drake. The ordinance, which becomes effective at once, provides: Section I.—It shall be unlawful for any person in the city of Oakland to appear in public in any mask, cap, cowl, hose, or other thing concealing the identity of the wearer, provided, however, that the provisions of this ordinance shall not apply to persons attending or taking part in carnivals conducted in accordance with the provisions of the ordinances of the City of Oakland or under permission of the proper authorities of said City, nor to any person holding a written permit issued by the Chief of Police. Section II.—Any person violating the provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment in City prison for a period not exceeding six (6) months or by both such fine and imprisonment. INVENTOR OF JINRIKISHA Although the jinrikisha is part of our mental picture of Japan, a Philadelphia clergyman invented this horseless carriage less than a hundred years ago while paying a visit to the Orient. If there is anything that a flapper doesn't know she doesn't know it. REPUBLICAN CLUB HELD ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING MONDAY An enthusiastic, interesting and well-attended meeting of the Colored Men's Republican Club was held Monday night in Dorris hall. After roll call and the enlistment of many new members, all were given an opportunity to speak a few words for their favorite candidates. After all regular members had spoken, the chairman introduced Mr. W. P. Crump, state orator, who waxed eloquent in extolling the virtues of Governor Thomas E. Campbell. Mr. Crump went so far as to predict Governor Campbell's election by an overwhelming majority and further stated that some day, we would have the pleasure of voting for Thomas E. Campbell as the Republican nominee for president of the United States. At the next meeting of the club, which will be held Tuesday night in Dorris hall, all republicans, men and women, are invited. Several of the candidates have been invited to speak on this occasion and a full attendance is desired. Refreshments were served after the meeting last Monday night, and it is planned to have refreshments for all Tuesday night, Oct. 24, the date of the next meeting. All republicans cordially invited. Remember, the ladies are welcome. Credit men report that "dead beats" are disappearing. And somehow, one doesn't feel so badly over that as he does over the passing of old settlers. Wonder what a bachelor thinks about a bigamist.

They looked upon money as something of little importance, so far as the future was concerned. They thought that they would have plenty of time to lay up something for the future before the country would get back to normalcy and the dollar would be harder to obtain. Such was not the fact, however, for the financiers of the country immediately set finances to a pre-war basis. Thus jobs that looked as though they would be gold mines proved to be just ordinary sources of revenue, and many of them petered out entirely. The spend-thrifts, who thought they had years of easy money ahead of them awoke to find that they had been living beyond their means; that they had lost an opportunity to lay by a few dollars; and that they must now go to work for wages that would not permit the happy-go-lucky, easy-come and easy-go mode of living that prevailed during the war. Many of them had burdened themselves with debts that they thought could be easily paid and found themslves pinched, and that they must pinch and save or lose all they had. The result was that many did lose, while the more frugal, who had adopted the policy of thrift, even while the country was dazzled by a money surplus, were able to meet their obligations and live easily and comfortably, regardless of the fact that incomes were reduced. Wages dwindled and living costs came down, and those frugal ones lived on and are enjoying prosperity. They had saved a part of their incomes against the days when dollars would be harder to obtain. Thrift is something that should be cultivated. Do not let all your money get away from you. Put by a dollar or two every day or every week; for the time will come when these dollars will be needed. Acquire the practice of saving something to provide for the days when money will not be easy, when sickness invades the home, or when old age unfits you for labor or reduces your earning power. It is better to be on easy street in your declining years than to have a good time up to the period when your earning power is reduced and you and yourself struggling in old age to keep body and soul together. Cut out the luxuries that you cannot afford. Live within your means and provide the "nest egg" that will fill the aged home with gladness and a feeling of security against want and hardships that a spend-thrift life entails. THE WAY TO REDUCE TAXES amount issue in every political campaign soon by every aspiring candidate for not devised a substitute for it and use no longer needed and while it is business which we call the governno engage our attention. Taxation maintaining and administering governmt from the realm of politics and tr The paramount issue in every political campaign is taxation. It is seized upon by every aspiring candidate for public office. No one has yet devised a substitute for it and until public improvements are no longer needed and while it is necessary to carry on the business which we call the government, taxation will continue to engage our attention. Taxation simply means the cost of maintaining and administering government. If we could remove it from the realm of politics and translate it into terms of business, the problem of taxation would present a less formidable aspect. When a private business finds that its expenditures are in excess of its revenues it must either curtail its expences or go out of business. A government cannot cease to function,—it cannot go out of business, but it can curtail expenses. The outstanding achievement of the national administration has been in this direction in the adoption of the budget system, under which the national expenses have been reduced by billions of dollars, by cutting appropriations, eliminating waste wherever it was found to exist and economical management. In other words, the republican administration has shown that the way to retrench is retrenchment. Election day draws nigh. The democrats are bubbling over with confidence and the republicans—well, are just "sawing wood" and saying nothing. They hope to do their rejoicing after the ballots have been counted. Judge Henry J. Sullivan, republican nominee for county attorney, still is the man of the hour in Maricopa county. He is a clean-cut, able lawyer and the first public official in this county to openly denounce the Klan. Both democrats and republicans favor his election. The strength, usefulness and perpetuity of an organization or an institution depends largely upon the personnel of its officers. The type of men selected to direct the affairs of the Colored Men's Republican Club of Phoenix, spells success with a big "S." The most despised person on this earth is the human knocker. Boosters always are in demand, but the knocker is persona non grata. Take heed all you knockers andthrow away your hammer and get a horn. It is the unexpected that happens. November 7. what? FOR U. S. SENATOR Col. Jas. H. McClintock, Republican candidate for United States Senator, is one of the best known of Arizonans, resident in the territory and state for 43 years and prominently associated with its history. He is a Californian by birth, but for most of his life has known Phoenix as his home. He was a Rough Rider in 1898, captain of the southern Arizona troop of Roosevelt's famous regiment, PETER H. Col. Jas. H. McClintock as Buckey O'Neill was of the northern troop. Buckey was killed in Cuba and McClintock severely wounded. Thereafter for eight years the colonel was in command of the Arizona national guard regiment, during the period of formation of the guard in Arizona. For several years the colonel has been state historian of Arizona. A few years ago he made private publication of a history of Arizona in three volumes, considered the most comprehensive chronicle ever published of the state's development and special features. He has also published a volume on "Mormon Settlement in Arizona." He knows intimately every part of Arizona and has visited and written about every section. For years he was an editor, but he has taught school and has ranched and has participated in many of the state's activities. He was a member of the party that discovered and plotted the Roosevelt dam and for years was the Arizona representative of the National Irrigation congress. If elected he will pay special attention to the needs of the state in irrigation agricultural development and mining. For State Mine Inspector We take pleasure in introducing to the readers of The Tribune Mr. Jack White, the Republican candidate for State Mine Inspector. Mr. White has M. B. Mr. Jack White spent most of his life in Arizona. He was educated in the Phoenix public schools, but principally in the school of life experience. As a practical miner he has worked in all of the mining camps of the state from mucker to superintendent. As a thorough mine inspector he has made good on the job and is entitled to your votes. ARE WE MAKING PROGRESS? (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 20—Meredith Nicholson, novelist and assayist, says: "Now, in a world grown gray with materialism, the younger people have cracked the barriers of yesteryear, have given sex virtue an indifferent status in their scheme of things and have forced every intelligent observer of American life to the sober conclusion that the old concept of marriage, the home, religion, sex standard are gone—definitely and absolutely gone." Nicholson's summary was given sadly. He made no reference to the Race Problem.

Brunettes are all the rage in the fashion places of France, and hundreds of women are having their faces "tanned" artificially to make them brown. PROHIBITION WILL CARRY IN INDIA SOON, AVERS (By The Associated Negro Press) VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 20—In a few years India, with a native population of 300,000,000, will be dry, predicts Dr. J. Nananjan Nyogi, an Indian advocate of prohibition, who passed thru here on his way from Calcutta to the United States to study the working of the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act last Tuesday. "I would say that only 9.2 per cent of the native population of India drink intoxicating beverages," remarked Dr. Nyogi. A Johns Hopkins scientist has discovered a new vitamin that makes bone.

ARIZONA BAPTISTS WILL MEET OCT.24 IN MILE HIGH CITY Special Announcement of the State Convention TO THE PASTORS AND MEMBERS OF THE ARIZONA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION: Dear Brethren:— I am sending you this special message, to call your attention to the time and place of the next annual meeting of our convention. Our next annual meeting will be held with the Mt. Olive Baptist Church of Prescott, Arizona, October 24th to the 30th, 1922, or on Tuesday before the fifth Lord's day in October. The good pastor, Dr. L. H. Smith, and his kind people have cordially invited us to meet with them this year, since our purpose to meet in Phoenix has been countermanded because of conditions over which we had no control. The President will explain the cause of the change at Prescott. Let me urge every church in the state to begin now and elect your messengers, for your church, Sunday School, and B. Y. P. U. Put them to work in helping the pastor to raise the conventional dues. The Constitution requires each church to pay an annual fee to the convention of $1.00 per member. The Woman's Convention will meet on Tuesday. Appointment of Chairmen of Committees. Committee on Education—Rev. E. P. Cornelious, of Tucson. Committee on Obituaries—Rev. Hall, of Flagstaff. Committee on Constitution—Belford Taylor, of Tucson. Committee on Missions—Rev. L. H. Smith, of Prescott. Committee on Resolutions—Rev. Gibson, of Douglass. Committee on Divine Service—Rev. L. H. Smith, of Prescott. These chairmen are asked to have their reports ready before coming to the convention, so that you may remain in each session and take part in its deliberations, and save the time from being out in committee meetings. The annual sermon will be preached by Dr. B. P. Cornellous, pastor of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church of Tucson. The above named clmatetees will be supplemented at the convention. The programs and letter blanks will be sent to each church and pastor in due season. Brethren, let us have a glorious meeting at Prescott.

LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 20—A report on file in the office of the Secretary of the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission says: "At the Missouri Penitentiary are 16 officers drawing $24,880 annually, not one of whom is a Negro, yet approximately 52 per cent of the inmates of the institution are Negroes. 23 employees draw $36,380 per annum; all are white men. 91 guards receive $125,580 per annum, but not a Negro sits on that wall or around those men, seeing that Negro criminals are receiving a 'square deal' in all that the term implies, and as the state of Missouri intends."

"It looks like somebody is trying to involve half the white citizenship of Crittenden county," declared Judge E. L.

On Friday night he met Clem Johnson, a clever 204-pound Negro boxer, in Madison Square Garden, but gave the fans a run fo: their money. A large number of person had wagered that Wills would make Johnson bite the dust on the fourth round, but Wills permitted the ambitious fighter to struggle through 12 rounds before taking the "go" out of Johnson. In all the 12 rounds Clem didn't lead or counter or lay a glove on Harry, all night long. Wills had Johnson at his mercy all through the contest. Finally the referee had to stop the fight to save Johnson from suffering. Some of the Dempseyites declare that the show Wills made in this contest was not much of a boost for him. They contend that he would not have a show against Dempsey. Wills never extended himself. Occasionally Wills would land a stinger on his opponent. Johnson was certainly willing to be saved from the terrific pounding that was coming to him. Although Wills never landed a blow which would have taken Johnson off his feet in the early stages of the contest. One ring-side fan said: "If Wills was trying to win in a rush, this fuss about a Dempsey-Wills fight seems out of order. Harry showed awkward judgment, by letting his man escape whenever he had him dizzy, and he showed very poor aim in shooting his fists at Johnson's head until the knuckles popped, when he might have touched Clementine on the button and called it a night as early as round 1." Johnson is young, strong and heavy, and that is all you can say about him. Now, if it took Wills 12 rounds to stop Johnson, the only question is how long would it take Dempsey to send Wills back to the docks. This kind of propaganda is just what Harry Wills wants. Because it will give Dempsey some confidence in himself and possibly will hasten an agreement for a titular bout between himself and Dempsey. Wills is patiently waiting for an opportunity to meet Dempsey, and he is now, according to those in the close circles endearing to meet Dempsey's stalling with another kind of stalling. The battle on Wills' part is to get a match with Dempsey, while it is the problem of Dempsey to evade meeting Wills.

TWENTY EIGHT YEARS IN BUSINESS-OVER $2,500,00 PAID IN CLAIMS TO POLICY HOLDERS Insure Today----Tomorrow May Be Too Late TWO NEW YORK MAGAZINES PUBLISH ARTICLES OF INTEREST TO RACE Two articles of especial interest to Colored readers are published in two magazines of New York, according to announcement today of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. One of the articles appears in the October McClure's Magazine (76 Lafayette Street, New York). It is called "Race Cooperation," and is by George Madden Martin, who has written many short stories about Colored people. The other article is by a Colored author, Benjamin Brawley, who writes on "The Negro in American Literature," in the October "Bookman." (244 Madison Avenue, New York.) Mrs. Martin, speaking of what has been done and planned by interracial committees in the South, asserts that the chief obstacle to proper consideration of race problems is that the white man does not know the Negro. "The white man in the United States," says Mrs. Martin, "will never see the Negro as he is, until he sees him as an individual, and sees his case as an individual case." The unrepresentative character of the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation is admitted in the figures which Mrs. Martin gives, showing that only five out of the 58 members are Negroes, but Mrs. Martin shows that it has interested and brought together many of the best white people of the South in an endeavor to create better conditions. Mr. Brawley calls the Negro "the supreme challenge to American literature." Speaking of the flood of in- Com published.
