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. VOL. V.—NO. 34 (Preston News Service) 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." Remember This When trading with our advertisers, just say: "I saw your advertisement in OUR PAPER, The Tribune." It will work wonders for you and your paper.

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." $60 Government Check Gets Man Into World of Trouble In Ohio (Preston News Service) (Paston News Service) TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 17—Charged with cashing a government check for $60 intended for another, Milton Rogers, of Detroit, Mich., was held under $1000 bond by U.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 COLORED MAN GETS JUICY PLUM FROM PRES. HARDING 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. AWARD OF MEDALS IS MADE TO BLACKS FOR HEROIC DEEDS AWARD OF MEDALS IS MADE TO BLACKS FOR HEROIC DEEDS (Presston News Service) 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. Garvey Builds Himself A $50,000 Mansion NEW YORK, Nov. 17—A palace costing $50,000 is being erected in Larchmount, a suburb, it is reported for Marcus Garvey. (Special to The Tribune) 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. BODY OF COL. YOUNG WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE UNITED STATES BODY OF COL. YOUNG WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE UNITED STATES (Special to The Tribune) 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. To Mr. Wm. Service Bell, 1st Vice-Commander, Col. Charles Young Post, 398, American Legion, 2350 Soreth Avenue, New York, N.Y. Seventh Avenue, New York, N. P.

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. UNNATURAL MOTHER SELLS HER DAUGHTER TO DEPRAVED WHITE UNNATURAL MOTHER SELLS HER DAUGHTER TO DEPRAVED WHITE (Preston News Service) 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. (Preston News Service) 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. 13-YEAR-OLD BOY TO BE ELECTROCUTED IN M'CALISTER, OKLA. 13-YEAR-OLD BOY TO BE ELECTROCUTED IN M'CALISTER, OKLA. (Special to The Tribune) (Mpecial to the Tribune) 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 A STRONG CHARACTER Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without there can be no training and without thought there can no progress.—Booker T. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year (Special to The Tribune) 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 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.

They includes the earnings of all classes of the high salaries of the coparatively should be considerably lower than what with a family of six upon his hands as earning six times $629 or $3,774. Being will not go in this case; for the family may not be earning as much as easily at all. The average earnings are district. In New England the average farmer are $1,160 per annum, while on the farmers average $2,800, and in the states, $2,300. New York state averaget against $346 for the states along the this is accounted for by the fact that are largely agricultural, while New England industrial, and the high salaried students of New York City put up the best averages for the several states pref of any of those having the highest apt for the average man.

Your tent, be it east or west, north or mind that the elements of success. Few find fortunes awaiting their entities, and if they have the right, less they will succeed. The average is nothing to do with the average man nation, honesty and good-fellowship and self-denial will win something for any man or woman who has disposition to work for something be According to figures compiled by the National Bureau 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 average 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 central states, $2,300. New York state averages $874 per capita against $346 for the states along the Gulf of Mexico. This is accounted for by the fact that the Gulf states are largely agricultural, while New York is commercial 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 tendency to raise the average of that state, but they do not signify that the common 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 labor 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 success 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 success are within yourself. Few find fortunes awaiting them; more find opportunities, and if they have the right spirit of gogetiveness they will succeed. The average wage or income 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. - ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN is an age where young men are sive enterprise and the old and fail aside because they can no longer be required in modern business. The old r thorough knowledge of the busin yellow, but he has lost his spring an ever to the extent that he is no longer This is an age where young men are sought for every 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 productive 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 employer 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 remember also that the new replacement is wholly untried and that it may prove to be faulty, in which case you may 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 sufficient proof of his value to those who employed him. Be re- 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 into ours'.—Channing. In 1924 we suggest that the democrats nominate William 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 incumbent, 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.

Mr. and Mrs. Wise have a very attractive home here. Mrs. L. A. McCarty has returned from 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, as Mr. McCarty had been informed that his wife was seriously ill there. Mrs. McCarty has been quite sick since 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 considerably. 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 wonderful 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.

Prizes were awarded several of the Jazz couples and the graceful THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING waltzers. The judges were: Mr. Fobian, Judge Morrison, Mr. Leroy Anderson, Mrs. McDownel and Mrs. Paris Tabron. The principal speaker of the evening was Hon. W. P.

Recent news from Miss Helen Harper 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 education 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 bill in any school work. Let us encourage our professional people, not stand with a chop ax, for some one can carry one for you. Mr. Bailey, one of Prescott's old timers and Arizona's favorites, decided 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."

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.

McKettrick announced that he is in receipt of two offers for Dempsey's services, both of them from England. The first bid, he said, offered Dempsey $125,000 to meet Siki; the second a 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 possible 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 between 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.

A. A. C. P. has received an authentic report that the 24th U. S. Colored Infantry Regiment has been disarmed after being sent to Camp Penning, Ga. The commanding officer, Colenel Schofield, has been relieved of command and in his stead Colorel Ricklin, a Southern cracker, has been appointed. Protest was filed immediately with Secretary of War Weeks in Washington. Apparently the action of the War Department was caused by white Georgians who feared a repetition of what took place in Houston, Texas, in 1917. The association is asking its members in all parts of the country to request the War Department to recall the 24th from Georgia.
