KIND OF WORK THAT GOV. HENRY J. ALLEN MEETS APPROVAL OF OF KANSAS, FLAYS A FLORIDA JURIST THE KU KLUX KLAN
This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position.—Theodore Roosevelt.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 17—Edwin Burch, charged with vagrancy, handed the police judge a copy of his booklet which he was distributing among Negroes here and was discharged by the official with the following comment: "I think your work will accomplish more for the betterment of your people than me sending you to the prison farm. I am told that the police found you at the union depot passing out these books to colored people. You say you have just landed in town. After looking over your booklet I am confident that you will be able to accomplish much good in this city by placing it in the hands of your people. You are at liberty to carry on this good work here."
The commandments follow:
1. Men, women, boys, girls, husbands, wives, sweethearts and lovers; hate not work, it is the first step to progress, prosperity, honesty, respect ability and wealth.
2. Keep within the confines of the law. Crime and the violation of laws pay off only in grief, worry, sorrow and misery.
3. Love, adore and cherish the Negro woman; by this you respect your mother and gain the respect of your fellowman.
4. Remember, America has done more for you than any other country in the world, and will do more in proportion to the number of converts from ignorance to intelligence. Let well enough alone.
5. Remember, in America, Canada, Mexico or across the sea, you are a Negro wherever you may be. The stain shall be forever upon thee. The history of the Negro has been written and cast to the four corners of the world. You cannot overcome history.
6. Remember, when mingling with evil associates, you are swinging upon the jail house gates. Desperadoes, outlaws and bad characters, all must bow before the forces of law and order.
7. Do not attempt to do some things you see in the movie show. Moving pictures have caused the eyes of many to be opened and have caused the eyes of many to be closed.
8. Respect the man who owns this country. He is your best friend after all. He gave you a home in the best country in the world. Otherwise you would be, perhaps, this day, in dark Africa, the least civilized, less developed and recognized of all countries.
9. Listen not to slick-tongued, self-styled Negro leaders, who give you a mouthful of sweet dreamy talk and take a handful of your hard earned money.
10. Remember, the money the Negro spends in fine churches, automobiles, conventions and foolishness, would build hundreds of mills, factories, plants, hospitals, office buildings and old folks' homes, thus giving work to thousands of Negro men, women, boys and girls who pose and repose upon our street corners.
Commenting further, Judges Beckham said: "This man has evidently seen the curse that is being reeked upon his fellowmen by the insiduous Garvey movement, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Niagara movement, and such other tomy-rot that quick-witted, lazy Negroes are foisting upon the hard-working members of their race. Material progress of the colored race in this country will be the salvation of the Negro. This man's philosophy is sound. I hope Negroes will do as he points out. The white man of America is the best friend the Negro has. The Negro must now consider life seriously and develop himself and help better his material condition if he would hope to enjoy the full status of American citizenship. White men have to work for their salvation and why not the Negro? I sympathize with the Negro and believe I fully understand the many difficulties confronting him. There are too many lazy, good-for-nothing members of that race in this country today. This group must get to work and contribute something to the general welfare. It is the only hope of the Negro race."

GREAT BEND, Kans., Nov. 17
"One pistol shot could produce a state of civil war in Kansas similar to that in Ireland," declared Governor Henry J. Allen in a statement Thursday in his fight against the Ku Klux Klan, during the course of a political speech here.
His speech was part of a series of political speeches in his pre-election campaign. He took a fling at religious bigotry and community hatred. Voicing opposition to the klan, not only because of its attitude toward some community questions, but also because of the manner its activities are said to be carried out. He said in part:
"As a fellow American having the same impulses that you have, I am opposed to the klan because it suggests terrorism and outlawry, and by use of disguise, men having a desire to revenge themselves, go out and say 'We will go out and thrash that fellow.' I am not against the klan because it does not like the Catholic Church. I am not a Catholic. I am a Methodist and a 32nd degree Mason and a Knight Templar. I belong to all these organizations. I belong to everything, except the Knights of Columbus and the Ku Klux Klan."
After draying a comparison between the conditions in Kansas and those in Ireland, and telling of requests his office had received from men to be allowed to defend themselves, because they were frightened, the Governor asked, "Do you want turned loose in this state the horrors of a civil war? God forbid such a war, and yet what can you suggest to the Negroes of the state, in some communities of which there are thousands, when the old Ku Klux Klan that terrified them fifty years ago is riding again at night? Can you expect them not to take any means whatever to protect them selves?"
"Ireland is fighting over a quarrel that is 800 years old, but we curbed it in America when we wrote the constitution that all men should have the right to worship God according to their own ideas."
SOUTHERNERS OBJECT TO A ROOSEVELT TREE ON CAPITOL GROUNDS
SOUTHERNERS OBJECT TO A ROOSEVELT TREE ON CAPITOL GROUNDS
(Preston News Service)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 17—One of the reasons why a tree in honor of the memory of Col. Theodore Roosevelt should not be planted on the "sacred" ground of Alabama's capitol, as given by the United Daughters of Confederacy, is because Roosevelt, while President of the United States, had the temerity to appoint a Negro woman, Mrs. Lillian Cox, as postmistress at Indianola, Miss. It is said also that when President, Roosevelt had chiselled from a bridge near Washington the name of Jefferson Davis. It is claimed that at the time Roosevelt virtually held that Jefferson Davis was a traitor. To dedicate a tree to Roosevelt on the capitol ground where Jefferson Davis took the oath of office as Confederate President, it is contended, would be invading sacred ground.
Governor Kilby told a delegation of women from the U. D. C. last Monday that he could not join in a request of the Boy Scouts to remove the tree planted on Friday as a memorial to Theodore Roosevelt.
After the delegation left, Governor Kilby told newspapermen: "I was not able to comply with the request. However, I did tell the delegation that if the Boy Scouts made a voluntary request for permission to take the tree from the capitol grounds, it would be granted."

COLORED MAN GETS JUICY PLUM FROM PRES. HARDING
(Special to The Tribune)
NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 17—Walter L. Cohen, Colored Republican politician, appointed by President Harding as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, received one of the most lucrative federal offices in the South. The salary attached to the office is $5000 annually. Cohen assumes the position held by Major A. W. Newlin, known before the new tariff act went into effect as the naval officer of the port of New Orleans.
Cohen has been a figure in Republican circles in Louisiana for almost thirty years. He has held other federal positions, at one time being Registrar of the United States Land Office at Baton Rouge| The offer of a federal position in Washington was declined by Cohen some time ago.
PRESIDENT GRANTS AUDIENCE TO GROUP OF RACE LEADERS
(Special to The Tribune)
(Special to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17—A delegation of the National Equal Rights League had an audience with President Harding at the White House office at twelve o'clock Saturday for speeding up action by the United States Senate on the Dyer anti-lynching bill. The audience was arranged through Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, and lasted about thirty minutes.
The delegation consisted of William Monroe Trotter, a citizen of Massachusetts; M. W. Spencer, of Delaware; J. L. Neill, Tennessee; Rev. E. A. Abott, New York; Rev. W. O. Carrington, North Carolina; Rev. J. L. Pinn New York; A. A. Johnson, Georgia; J. L. Taylor, Alabama; H. P. Slaughter, Kentucky, editor of the Odd Fellows Journal. Trotter was spokesman.
Mr. Trotter explained the mission to be the powers, prestige, and influence of his position and of his personality to speed up actual enactment of the Dyer anti-lynching bill by the Senate, especially in connection with the contemplated extraordinary session this month, as a remedy for mob-murders, and these were continuing at the average rate of one each week. He then presented a petition with 10,000 signatures from nearly thirty states, asking the President to name the bill in his call for the extra session. The first petition was from the President's home town, Marion, Ohio, one from Omaha, Neb., one from the members of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry at Bening, Ga., and several from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and other states. Each member of the delegation briefly urged the need of executive aid and pressure to hasten action by making the Dyer bill major and emergency legislation, to be taken up first at the extra session and considered continuously. Delegate Taylor reminded the President that this bill will help the white as well as the colored citizens of America.
President Harding heard the delegation attentively, and expressed himself as being in sympathy with the cause presented, as he said he had always been.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 17—Dr. J. W. Holland, for almost 19 years connected with the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, was elected president by unanimous vote last Friday afternoon. Among those being awarded posthumous medals for conspicuous service was Elijah Runnels, aged 21 years, of Ferris, Texas. Runnels died in the attempt to save the life of his employer, a farmer, from drowning when the latter slipped from a levee and was carried down stream. The employer likewise lost his life.
The ages of the various heroes ranged rom 12 to 48. Practically all represented were workingmen, school children or stenographers.
EQUAL AND EXACT RICHEST BLACK GIRL RACE CO-OPERATION CHICAGOANS FORCE JUSTICE THE ONLY IN AMERICA FALLS NECESSARY TO PASS RESIGNATION OF DEMAND OF BLACKS VICTIM TO DAN CUPID DYER BILL, AVERS KU KLUX BANKER
(Special to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 17—H. C. Wells, the famous author and journalist, advocates a unified world control of world affairs, not the "League of Nations," but a gigantic combination of international groups on a scale, and with motives startling in their sweeping candor for a greater human liberty and justice; Lenin of Russia has been consigned the duty by the Bolsheviks, of telling of the "progress of world revolution," while Will Irwin, noted writer of Chicago, tells of the "next great war," in which the yellow people of the East will cross arms with the great white races of the West.
Added to this turmoil of ideas and conflagration of prophesies, is the Stoddard alarm of the "Rising Tide of Color," and the unquestioned restlessness of people of African descent in all parts of the world, including the great millions of Africa itself.
In the United States of America, where there are practically fifteen millions of human beings touched by the bronzing glow of Africa's sun, discontent, disappointment and disgust are entwined with the emotions of determination, defiance and hatred. These dark skinned Americans, who in their simple faith, have for decade after decade put their trust in God and the gilded promises of certain of the whites, have had a rude awakening.
They have discovered that "all is not gold that glitters." They have been disfranchised, segregated, lynched and murdered. The thrills of patriotism have been turned into hollow mockery by the deeds of the unjust. Hope in the possibilities of political opportunities, backed by the honeytoned words of the silver-tongued orator, has been transformed into the sting of hypocrisy and treachery.
In such a mood, and attitude of mind, fertile soil is found for strange and radical doctrines. Dismayed by the failure of all that has gone before, these people quite naturally are turning their eyes to new lighthouses of hope, and, directing their thoughts to the appeals of newer chieftons.
Colored Americans have but one desire: an all-united movement on their part is to bring about a realization of that desire—the overthrow of injustice. The mockery of fair play and justice to which they are subjected, is making of them a race of cynics. This is true in all parts of the land, and among all the various classes of the entire group. It is fraught with seriousness, because sects and isms from other parts of the world, where color prejudice is an unknown quantity, are taunting these black peoples with unanswerable arguments about the conditions, and treachery in America.
"We are just biding our time," said one of the adherents of the very radical group. "For what?" he was asked. "Until the dawning of the day when all these hypocrites will be swept into the ocean by the onward march of the legions of justice." Sounds tragically poetical. He would go no further in detailed explanation, but it is known to be a sacred belief that the day is coming when some great force, somewhere, somehow, will bring about a new order of things.
These adherents to the "new faith" are eloquent in their ability to express what is happening throughout the world, and what is going to happen. They point with pride to the swift overthrow of governments throughout the world in the last few years, and say that the time is coming in America when, particularly in the South, where black people are denied the most, there will be a gigantic upheaval of some kind that will destroy forever the influence of that class of whites who have held the yoke of oppression on the black man's neck until it has almost choked him." This hellishness cannot last forever." they say, and with that faith they journey onward, reading, thinking, planning, working.

LAWRENCE, Kans., Nov. 17—The community has just recently learned of the marriage of Miss Sarah Rector, reputed to be the richest colored girl in America, and Kenneth Campbell, crack high school athlete and winner of a scholarship to Lincoln University.
Miss Rector will be remembered as being among the first of the colored Oklahoma oil land owners. Her transformation from a poor farm girl to a possessor of great wealth has surrounded her name with romance.
Following the hard fight she made in getting her fortune out of the hands of the Oklahoma white oil sharks, Miss Rector moved north.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell will make their home at their beautiful residence at Lawrence, Kansas.

BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 17—The Colonel Charles Young Post, No. 398, American Legion, of New York, has received advices from the War Department relative to the return of the body of the late Colonel for whom the post has been named.
Colonel Young was military attache to the United States Consul at Monrovia, Liberia. While on a tour of inspection he succumbed to an illness and died at Lago, Nigeria, last January. Lago's being about 1,500 miles from Monrovia and an English territory, the body having been buried was required according to English rule to remain six months.
The War Department's letter reads as follows:
Washington, October 24, 1922.

Seventh Avenue, New York, N. P.
Referring to previous correspondence relative to the return to the United States of the remains of the late Colonel Charles Young, you are advised that this office is in receipt of a cable from the American Minister at Monrovia, Liberia, to the effect that authority has been secured of the Nigerian Government for the exhumation of the remains of Colonel Young; also that the Government of Nigeria has consented to take the remains on board ship, and that he has arranged with the steamship line at Lagos for transportation of the remains. Inasmuch as the necessary instructions have been given relative to the procurement of the casket and all details arranged with the Nigerian Government, it is believed that it will be possible to get the remains into this country within a very few months.

CLEARFIELD, Pa., Nov. 17—Miss Nora Moore, aged 17 years, of Philadelphia, who was found tied to the Pennsylvania railroad tracks near Woodland Lake on Wednesday night, recovered consciousness and told authorities that her mother had sold her to a white man who brought her to Clearfield.
"He gave me something to drink—and that's all I remember," sobbed the girl. She told the sheriff that she did not know the man's name, but believed that she could identify him. Officials have started an investigation to locate the girl's mother with the hope of finding the man in the case.
According to Charles Gilliland, who found the girl tied to the tracks, she was found just a few minutes before a Pennsylvania passenger train was due to pass. He declared that the victim's legs and arms were bound and the ropes were attached to the rails.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 17—Speaking before an audience that taxed the seating capacity of Ebenezer Baptist church, of which the Rev. Junius C. Austin is pastor, Dr. James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the N.A. A. C. P., made a profound plea for racial cooperation on the part of members of the race to do all possible to urge the passage of the Dyer Anti Lynching bill now pending in the United States Senate. The seating capacity of the church is 2,000 and fully twice that number could not gain admission and had to be turned away. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders of which Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkins is director general for the state of Pennsylvania. The music for the occasion was furnished by The Arion Male Quartette, Robert A. Lewis director; and William Blue, national music director of the American Woodmen. Rev. J. C. Austin, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., acted as master of ceremonies. Mrs. Mary Turner-Burwell, chairman program and music. More than a score of the various women's clubs and organizations of the city cooperated in selling buttons and securing memberships to the Anti-Lynching Crusaders organization.
The speaker pointed out in detail the long and difficult struggle that had been put forth to pass the Dyer Bill in the House of Representatives and bow it was kicked and cuffed in the Senate, and finally left over unpassed by the last session. He told his hearers that if members of the United States Senate were sufficiently convinced that the Negroes throughout the country were in earnest for the passage of this bill to stop the curse of lynching in this country, favorable action could be expected. The lack of cooperative interest shown thus far by Negroes throughout the country failed to compel the members of the Senate to feel that they must act favorably on the Dyer Bill. This strenuous effort by Negroes throughout the country on the eve of this important national election is bound to bear fruit. He urged every Negro voter to write his Senator asking for the passage of the Dyer Bill. Millions of letters and telegrams from Negroes from all parts of the country urging the passage of the bill will aid greatly in having the senate enact this bill into a law. He urged them to ask their white friends to use their influence with members of the upper house of congress for the passage of the bill.

McALESTER, Okla., Nov. 17—Coming as a crowning and inglorious climax to the sordid record of Oklahoma, is the announcement that Ellas Ridge, a 13-year-old colored boy, must go to his Maker via electric chair.
The youth, the youngest to have ever received a death sentence, was sent to the chair by Judge A. C. Brewster of Pryor, Okla., after the boy had pleaded guilty to the murder of Mrs. George Adair. According to the story, the woman was killed after a desperate struggle.
When asked why he had committed the crime, he replied that his brother-in-law, Harry Smith, had told him to do it, and had promised to give him a pet, to which the youth had taken a particular liking.
Aged Woman Is Burned To Death In Arkansas
TEXARKANA, Ark., Nov. 17—Mrs. Frances Edmond, aged 60 years, living in an Arkansas side suburb, died on Sunday night as the result of burns said to have been sustained several days ago. She was standing beside a hot stove when her clothing ignited and she sustained severe burns before the fire could be put out.
As no physician was called following her injury, Coroner Vinson decided that an inquest was necessary, and his jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of accidental death

CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 17—The Ku Klux Klan is on the run for good and fair. Augustus E. Olsom, President of the Washington Park National Bank of this city, was forced to resign as the executive head of that institution because it was discovered that he was a member in good standing in the Klan. Tolerance, an anti-Klan periodical, was the immediate cause of Mr. Olson's resignation. No one appears to be in position to divulge in just what manner the antisheet came into possession of the facts of his connection with the 100 per cent American organization. The ex-President, however, came clean, as the saying goes, and acknowledged his relationship but contended that he had been "lured" into doing so by misstatements of the character and true purposes of the organization.
When the first reports of Olson's Klan connections came to light, slight attention was given it by the bank officials. Later developments, though compelled their attention. What amounted to a run was being made on the bank. Up to this time long lines of depositors was the order of the average business day. Matters began to take on a new appearance. Withdrawals began to take more than an appreciable place of deposits. Inquiries as to the reasons revealed that they were the protests of clients against the Klan activities of the President of the bank. Then it was that the officials "woke up" and demanded President Olson's resignation. His 'ture' defense failed to move the directors and there was nothing left for him to do but comply with what actually amounted to a demand for a severance of his official relations with the institution of which he had been the honored head for longer than a year.

UNLOADED GUN IS FATAL TO THIS MAN; SAME OLD STORY
(Preston News Service)
GOLDRDBORO, N. C., Nov. 17—Hallowe'en night brought joy to countless people perhaps, and discovered many future husbands and wives, but it brought deat' to Oscar Smith, who was accidentally shot to death at 11:30 Tuesday night with an automatic shotgun in the hands of his friend and chum, George Washington.
It is said that Smith went into his home and got his father's automatic shotgun and took out five loaded shells from the magazine of the gun and put in five blanks. Washington wanted to shoot the gun first, so Smith handed him the gun. Washington took it, and in a playful manner pointed it at Smith and yelled, "Halt! who comes there?" Smith is alleged to have said "None of your business, you tin soldier, we're not in France now." Washington is said to have replied, "You must be an enemy, I'll have to subdue you now," and fired one shot. But it was enough; Smith turned and fell groaning to his companion.
Washington rushed to Smith's side and began calling him. There was no reply. Washington then went to police headquarters and gave himself up. It was assumed on investigation that a loaded shell must have been left in the gun chamber, as the weapon is a six shooter, and the magazine was filled with blanks. The police judge remanded Washington to jail charged with murder.

Aceording to figures compiled by the National Bu-
reau of Economic Research the average per capita income
for the whole United States is $629 per year. That is the
amount each individual is supposed to earn, and the head
of the average family should earn that amount for each
member of his family. Some do and some do not; but
unless they do they are falling behind the average and
should speed up their earning power. This average of
course includes the earnings of all classes, and were it
not for the high salaries of the coparatively few the ay-
erage would be considerably lower than What it is, and the
man with a family of six upon his hands would not be
shown as earning six times $629 or $3,774. That sort of
reckoning will not go in this case; for the man with the
large family may not be earning as much as the man with
no family at all, The average earnings are not the same
in each district. In New England the average earnings of
the farmer are $1,160 per annum, while on the Pacific
coast the farmers average $2,800, and in the north cen-
tral states, $2,300. New York state averages $874 per
capita against $346 for the states along the Gulf of Mex-
ico. This is accounted for by the fact that the Gulf
states are largely agricultural, while New York is com-
mercial and industrial, and the high salaries of many of
the residents of New York City put up the average. The
different averages for the several states prove nothing in
favor of any of those having the highest averages being
the best for the average man. Living conditions vary as
incomes are more or less, and in states where the average
earnings are low the cost of living is correspondingly low.
The earnings of the bunch of multi-millionaires who have
congregated in and about Pasadena, Cal., have a ten-
dency to raise the average of that state, but they do not
signify that the comomn laborer is receiving any more
than common labor in some other section of the country,
and chances are that in some of the states showing a low
average common labor is better paid than in California.
‘The farmers in the central west and the operatives in the
mills of New England undoubtedly have the common la-
bor of California beaten by quite a substantial margin.
Young man, take your choice in selecting a location, but
whereever you may go you will find the price of suecess
is hard work, thrift and good judgment. Wherever you
pitch your tent, be it east or west, north or south, make
up your mind that the elements of suecess are within
yourself. Few find fortunes awaiting them; more find
opportunities, and if they have the right spirit of go-
getiveness they will sueceed. The average wage or in-
come has nothing to do with the average man; but energy,
determination, honesty and _good-fellowship combined
with thrift and self-denial will win something far above
the average for any man or woman who has good health
and the disposition to work for something better,
e ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN
This is an age where young men are sought for ev-
ery active enterprise and the old and faithful workers
are laid aside because they can no longer keep up the
pace required in modern business. The old man may have
a more thorough knowledge of the business than the
young fellow, but he has lost his spring and his produc-
tive power to the extent that he is no longer needed and
a younger and more active man is put in the place the
old man has so ably and faithfully filled while Father
Time was measuring out his allotted span. Young man,
in taking the place of an elderly person whom you are
called upon to succeed do so with the greatest respect for
the older person. He has served many years faithfully
and well, and he is entitled to all the consideration you
can command. You are not taking up his work because
you are a better man than he has been, but because it is
the hope of your employer that you may do as well as he
has done. You have a great deal to learn, and your em-
ployer is taking a chance at your education, hoping that
in time you will be what is required therefore do not take
the old man’s job with any spirit of elation or feeling of
superiority, Bear in mind that you are simply replacing
a worn out part in the great industrial machine, and re-
member also that the new replacement is wholly untried
and that it may prove to be faulty, in which case you niay
not last as the old man has in the respect and confidence
of his employers.’ He was a good and competent man. He
did all that was required of him and he did it well until
advancing age reduced his production. Remember that
however well you may fit into the job of your predecessor
he may have been a better man than you will ever be, and
the fact that he has held his job for many years is suffi-
cient proof of his value to those who employed him. Be re-
PAGE TWO
PRICE OF SUCCESS
spectful then and remember that the old man knows more
than you but that he has lost speed as you will lose it if
you last as many years as he has, and it is not his fault
that you are given his job. It is simply the result of the
wear and tear of human energy. Be polite, respectful
and helpful, and the chances are that the old man will
help you to a knowledge of many things that will be of
great value to you,
God be thanked for books. They are the voices of the
distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual
life of past ages. In the best books great men talk to us,
‘give us their most precious thoughts and pour their souls
ake ours’.—Channing.
Tn 1924 we suggest that the democrats nominate Wil-
ate G. McAdoo for president and the republicans, Hiram
Johnson. It is our opinion that these candidates are
about evenly matched. We believe four years in the
White House will satisfy the present incummbent, and
he will not be up for re-election.
It is not generally known, but Aesops, the writer
of ‘‘Aesop’s Celebrated Fables,’’ was a Negro.
Character is the only thing of enduring value. Make
your character something that you can be proud of, ney-
er mind your color. God made that and His stamp ought
to guarantee it. If it suits Him, no one else has any
right to compalin.

grateful to the kind friends who gave
flowers and helped her during the
illness and, death of her beloved hus:
band.
Mr. W. P. Crump. the distinguished
orator of Arizona, was in our city Mon-
day, the 6th, and as usual full of en-
thusiasm. All of Prescott was glad to
see him.
Mrs. Sherwin Wise has returned to
Prescott from an extended trip to Tuc-
son. Mrs. Wise, it is said, made ‘the
trip looking for a winter location. We
are glad to see her return, for it
makes us feel that they will remain
in Prescott through the winter. We
are glad for all good citizens to re-
main, though the winters are strenu-
ous. Mr. and Mrs. Wise have a very
attractive home here.
| Mrs. L, A. MeCarty has returned
eae her trip to Los Angeles and Long
Beach, Miss Clark, a sister of Mrs.
McCarty, made the trip to Long Beach
to accompany her sister to Prescott,
ag Mr. McCarty had been informed
ee his wife was seriously ill there.
Mrs. McCarty has been quite sick
sinee her return, the doctor having
been in constant attendance. It is
regretful that she has suffered as she
has, and it is the hope of all that she
will soon be better, and that the trip
will benefit her.
Mr. Albert Lee Sells has been on
the sick list, having suffered consid-
erably. We are sorry, and hope he
will soon feel normal.
A card received from Mrs. Clarence
Maxwell states that she will soon be
home, though she is having a won-
derful visit. It is pleasing to note
her pleasant visit, but all hearts will
be glad on her return home.
Rev. Simpson is preaching splendid
sermons, and the services at this
church are wonderful. Rev. Simpson
is a wonderful man, very genteel and
refined. The Sunday School, under
the leadership of Mr. B. C. Jones,
Superintendent, is growing in leaps
and bounds. Both young and old are
joining; send your children out. Don't
forget the Christian Endeavor and the
evening sermon.
Presiding Eider Clark held his quar-
terly meeting Sunday, October 29th,
and a wonderful time was had, large
crowds attending all the meetings. As
usual, Elder Clark's sermons were
great. We are always glad to have
him return, He has a splendid rec-
ord as presiding elder.
Mr. D. J. Todd has been sick, ou
fering with a cold, but is feeling fairly
good at the present. We hope he will
soon be normal. The U.N. I. A.

faithful and honorable, and liked by
ll.
Mrs. Lottie Taylor is still quite sick,

y hours of bereavement. Don't for-|

derson, Mrs. McDownel and Mrs. Paris
‘Tabron. The principal speaker of the
evening was Hon. W. P. Crump, who
told some stubborn facts of things as
they are. His talk was thrilling and
he was constantly interrupted with
applause. All enjoyed the meeting,
and many retired at a late hour.
Mr. GUL has returned to Prescott to

per Vance is that she is doing nicely
in her work at Mesa. We are glad,
‘No man or woman has ever succeeded
except through opposition, but those
are the men and women who are
worth while. Prescott should feel
Proud of Miss Vance, and many should
feel encouraged to complete their edu-
cation and finish their course, so they
may be of real service to the race.
Much credit is due Miss Vance, and all
Prescott folks wish her success. The
states are calling for prepared young
men and women, and she will fill the

Mr. Lee'Johnson has been sick with
a cold, but is better. We hope he will
continue to feel good.
Mr. Bailey, one of Prescott’s old-
timers and Arizona’s favorites, de-
cided he would change climates, but
he struck the southern part of the
state and the heat caused him to
change his mind. A wise man changes
his mind, but a fool never, says Mr.
Bailey. We are glad to see him back,
and we know he will stay. He was a
member of the 10th cavalry, served in
the battle of San Juan Hill, Phillipine
Islands and went around the world.
He is a “wise guy,” and says “Prescott
is the place.”
Mother Ramsey has been a little ill
but is fine now. She was suffering
with an attack of pleurisy. The re-
porter has also been suffering with the
pleursiy, and Mr. Hines is sick with a
cold.
We are proud of Mrs. Larkin, the
colored trained nurse and masseurist.
She gives wonderful treatments. ,

pared at the Youngblood restaurant
in honor of Mrs. Larkin. Those en-
joying the dinner were: Thos. E.

kin and Mr. and Mrs. Todd. The par-

went to the home of Mr. Hines, where
the spread was continued. There the
lessert, consisting of sherbet, ice
ream and cake was served, furnished

The Cross-Cut
"You: name's out of this—as long as possible."
She smiled in her mothering, knowing way. Then she opened the door, there to find a deputy from the sheriff's office.
"They've impaneled a jury up at the courthouse," he announced. "The coroner wants Mr. Fairchild and Mr. Harkins to come up there and tell what they know about this here skeleton they found."
It was the expected. The two men went forth, to find the street about the courthouse thronged, for already the news of the finding of the skeleton had traveled far, even into the little mining camps which skirted the town. Everywhere were black crowds under the faint street lamps. The basement of the courthouse was illuminated; and there were clusters of curious persons about the stairways. Through the throngs started Harry and Fairchild, only to be drawn aside by Farrell, the attorney.
"I'm not going to take a part in this unless I have to," he told them, "It will look better for you if it isn't necessary for you to make an appearance. How do you know but what Thornton Fairchild was attacked by this man and forced to kill in self-defense? It is a penitentiary offense for a man to strike another, without sufficient justification, beneath ground. And had Sissie Larsen even so much as slapped Thornton Fairchild, that man would have been perfectly justified in killing him to protect himself. Guide yourselves accordingly—and I will be there only as a spectator, unless events should necessitate something else."
They promised and went on, somewhat calmer in mind, to edge their way to the steps and to enter the basement of the courthouse. The coroner and his jury, composed of six miners picked up haphazard along the street—according to the custom of coroners in general—were already present. So was every person who possibly could cram through the doors of the big room. To them all Fairchild paid little attention—all but three.
They were on a back seat in the long roomroom—Squint Rodaine and his son, chalkier, yet blacker than ever, while between them sat an old woman with white hair which straggled about her cheeks, a woman with deep-set eyes, whose hands wandered now and then vaguely before her; a wrinkled woman, fidging about on her seat, watching with craned neck those who stuffed their way within the already crammed room, her eyes never still, her lips moving constantly, as though mumbling some never-ending rote. Fairchild stared at her, then turned to Harry.
"Who's that with the Rodaines?" Harry looked furtively. "Crazy Laura—his wife."
"But—"
"And she ain't 'ere for anything good!" Harry's voice bore a tone of
T. W.
Crazy Laura.
nervousness. "Squint Rodaine don't even recognize 'er on the street—much less appear in company with 'er. Something's 'appening!"
"But what could she testify to?"
"'Ow should I know?'" Harry said it almost petulantly. "I didn't even know she—"
"Oyez, oyez, oyez!" It was the balliff, using a regular district-court introduction of the fact that an inquest was about to be held. The crowded room sighed and settled. The coroner stepped forward.
"We are gathered here tonight to inquire into the death of a man supposed to be L. A. Larsen, commonly called 'Sissie,' whose skeleton was found today in the Blue Poppy mine. As sworn and true members of the coroner's jury, I charge and command you in the great name of the sovereign state of Colorado, to do your full duty in arriving at your verdict."
The jury, half risen from the chairs, some with their left hands held high above them, some with their right, swore in mumbling tones to do their duty, whatever that might be. The coroner surveyed the assemblage.
"First witness," he called out; "Harry Harkins."
Harry went forward, clumsily seeking the witness chair. He was questioned regarding nothing more than the mere finding of the body, the identification by means of the watch, and the notification of the coroner. Fairchild was called, to suffer no more from the queries of the investigator than Harry. There was a pause. It seemed that the inquest was over. A few people began to move toward the
door—only to halt. The coroner's voice had sounded again:
"Mrs. Laura Rodaine!"
Prodded to her feet by the squint-eyed man beside her, she rose and, laughing in silly fashion, stumbled to the aisle, her straying hair, her rugged clothing, her big shoes and shuffling gait all blending with the wild, eerie look of her eyes, the constant munching of the almost toothless mouth. Again she laughed, in a vacant, embarrassed manner, as she reached the stand and held up her hand for the administration of the oath. Fairchild leaned close to his partner.
"At least she knows enough for that."
Harry nodded.
"She knows a lot, that ole girl. They say she writes down in a book everything she does every day. But what can she be 'ere to testify to?'
The answer seemed to come in the questioning voice of the coroner.
"Your name, please?"
"Laura Rodaine. Least, that's the name I go by. My real maiden name is Laura Masterson, and—"
"Rodaine will be sufficient. Your age?"
"I think it's sixty-four. If I had my book I could tell. I—"
"Your book?"
"Yes, I keep everything in a book. But it isn't here. I couldn't bring it."
"The guess will be sufficient in this case. You've lived here a good many years, Mrs. Rodaine?"
"Yes. Around thirty-five. Let's see—yes, I'm sure it's thirty-five. My boy was born here—he's about thirty and we came here five years before that."
"I believe you told me tonight that you have a habit of wandering around the hills?"
"Yes, I've done that—I do it right along—I've done it ever since my husband and I split up—that was just a little while after the boy was born—" "Sufficient. I merely wanted to establish that fact. In wandering about, did you ever see anything, twenty-three or four years ago or so, that would lead you to know something of the death of the man into whose demise we are inquiring?" "I know something. I know a lot. But I've never figured it was anybody's business but my own. So I haven't told it. But I remember—"
"What, Mrs. Rodaine?"
"The day Sissie Larsen was supposed to leave town—that was the day he got killed."
"Do you remember the date?"
"No—I don't remember that."
"Would it be in your book?"
"No—no—it wouldn't be in my book. I looked."
"But you remember?"
"Just like as if it was yesterday."
"And what you saw—did it give you any idea—"
"I know what I saw."
"And did it lead to any conclusion?" "Yes."
"What, may I ask?"
"That somebody had been murdered!"
"Who—and by whom?"
Crazy Laura munched at her toothless lights for a moment and looked again toward her husband. Then, her watery, almost colorless eyes searching, she began a survey of the big room, looking intently from one figure to another. On and on—finally to reach the spot where stood Robert Fairchild and Harry, and there they stopped. A lean finger, knotted by rheumatism, darkened by sun and wind, stretched out.
"Yes, I know who did it, and I know who got killed. It was 'Sissie' Larsen—he was murdered. The man who did it was a fellow named Thornton Fairchild who owned the mine—if I ain't mistaken, he was the father of this young man—"
"I object!" Farrell, the attorney, was on his feet and struggling forward, jamming his horn-rimmed glasses into a pocket as he did so. "This has ceased to be an inquest; it has resolved itself into some sort of an inquisition!"
"I fall to see why." The coroner had stepped down and was facing him.
"Why? Why—you're inquiring into a death that happened more than twenty years ago—and you're basing that inquiry upon the word of a woman who is not legally able to give testimony in any kind of a court or on any kind of a case! Have you any further evidence upon the lines that she is going to give?"
"Not directly."
"Then I demand that all the testimony which this woman has given be stricken out and the jury instructed to disregard it."
The official smiled.
"I think otherwise. The jury is entitled to all the evidence that has any bearing on the case."
"But this woman is crazy!"
"Has she ever been adjudged so, or committed to any asylum for the insane?"
"No—but nevertheless, there are a hundred persons in this courtroom who will testify to the fact that she is mentally unbalanced and not a fit person to fasten a crime upon any man's head by her testimony. And referring even to yourself, Coroner, have you within the last twenty-five years, in fact, since a short time after the bitch of her son, called her anything else but Crazy Laura? Has anyone else in this town called her any other name? Man. I appeal to your—"
"What you say may be true. It may not. I don't know. I only am sure of one thing—that a person is sane in the eyes of the law until adjudged otherwise. Therefore, her evidence at this time is perfectly legal and proper."
"It won't be as soon as I can bring an action before a lunacy court and cause her examination by a board of elitists."

DEMPSEY PLANNING
TO TAKE ON BRONZE
FIGHTER REAL SOON
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 17—Accord:
ing to a statement made public by
Dan McKettrick, eastern representa.
tive of the Kearns-Dempsey interests,
the champion may go to Europe again,
this time to meet Battling Siki or
Harry Wills, MeKettrick announced
that he is in receipt of two offers
for Dempsey's services, both of them
from England,
‘The first bid, he said, offered Demp.
sey $125,000 to meet Siki; the second
@ quarter of a million to meet Harry
Wills.
Just what Dempsey will do in this
matter has not been announced.
Kearns is striving in every way pos
sible to keep his meal ticket before
the public without letting him take a
serious chance in a fight where there
is a possibility of losing the title. It
is thought that Dempsey may take on
the bout with Siki, but serious doubt
is expressed with regard to a bout be-
tween Dempsey and Harry Wills.
Dempsey thinks that Siki will be a
set-up and he appears anxious to meet
the conqueror of Carpentier.
European fight fans are anxious to
see Harry Wills in action, but say
frankly that Dempsey is the only man
they know of who has a chance with
the Bronze American Panther.
