SHAPLEIGH How the words "Thanksgiving Day" call to mind happy days when families gathered together, and then sad memories when perchance those days are no more! To set apart a day at the end of harvest when the crops were in as a day of thanksgiving to God for His mercies, has been a custom in all countries for centuries. It was spoken of as the Harvest Feast or Festival. When the early colonial settlers wished to make a thank offering to God for their new country and home, they chose a day in November which should be devoted to prayer and thanksgiving and called it "Thanksgiving Day." Families gathered at grandmother's house, the best of the land's offerings were cooked, and as the people prospered the dinner grew in proportion and tables "grown" with the goodies. THE "LAID" PUDDING In some parts of New England a "laid" pudding was always served at the Thanksgiving dinner. It was a pudding made with layers of crackers and raisins covered with milk and thickened with eggs. Some places use the carrot as a foundation for a steamed fruit pudding. Cranberry sauce or jelly adds color and flavor to the dinner. The south has contributed the excellent sweet potato, such a good accompaniment to turkey, espe- PRES. OF HARVARD TELLS WHAT AMERICA OWES BLACK RACE (The Associated Negro Press) (BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 24-President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard University, in a recent address, delivered in Old South Church, quoted Trevelyan as saying that it was well that the anti-slavery societies succeeded in their work of liberating the slaves before the present exploitation of Africa by European powers began, or else slavery might have become emmosed in the world's fibres so that nothing could tear it loose. "The triangular trade conducted from New England was most iniquitous," declared President Lowell. "Molasses was brought from the West Indies, made into rum in New England, carried to Africa and traded for slaves, which were then transported by the shipload to the West Indies." American Debt to Negroes "We owe the colored man four things," said President Lowell—"our sympathy, above measure, for the suffering that he has gone through and that he is going through; justice, that he be judged by the law and that he should have protection from violence, for which there is no excuse; opportunity to achieve anything that he is capable of achieving in any career or profession, anything that his abilities make him able to do, for a man is happy when he is doing what he is best fitted for; and our thought on his problems, his needs, his talents, and his capacities. "It is not only in the South that there are discriminations against the colored man. In the North there are some trades from which the colored man is virtually excluded. We have not discovered what the colored man's greatest capacities are. "A man has a right to self-respect. He has a right to the respect of his self-respect, which comes from developing and exercising one's best abilities. "Hampton Institute is educating a large number of colored boys and girls. It is assuring them of an independent living, and is therefore assuring them of self-respect." President Lowell urged the members of the large congregation to see Hampton, "for the sight of it is an inspiration." PARIS, Nov. 23—Georges Carpentier, who lost his title of light heavyweight champion of Europe to Battling Siki, the Negro, today appeared before the French boxing federation to reconsider the penalty vacating Siki's title and barring him from the French prize ring for nine months. Carpentier said that if the federation would lift the ban he would fight the Negro again in an effort to regain his title. To judge by the number of clubs that are being run by our people, there must be something more in them besides a good time. THE "LAID" PUDDING BLACK MAN ELECTED TO OFFICE ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 24—One colored candidate won in New York and his victory was a big surprise. Lawyer Henri W. Shields, Democratic aspirant from the 21st assembly district, was sent to the legislature. Bolden, race Republican candidate, made a good run, but the general disaffection from the Republican ticket by colored voters caused his defeat by a few hundred. Oliver Randolph, the only colored candidate in New Jersey, was elected to the legislature while Congressman Parker, who voted against the Anti-Lynching bill, met the dust. He was fought as bitterly by colored voters as was Layton of Delaware, who bit the dust when Robert Nelson's cohorts took the field against him. Dupont suffered as a result. Harry E. Davis of Cleveland lost for the legislature. The terrific fight against Pomerene by the labor unions nullified whatever colored support he won. TEXAS BLACKS SHOW THEIR GRATITUDE FOR FRIENDSHIP TEXAS BLACKS SHOW THEIR GRATITUDE FOR FRIENDSHIP (By the Associated Negro Press) HOUSTON, Tex., Nov. 24—The only Southern Congressman to vote for the Anti-Lynching bill was Congressman Wurzbach of the 14th district returned to office today after a hard battle, Wurzbach, who is a Republican, brought down the wrath of white Democrats and Republicans alike on him after he was reported to have addressed a colored meeting in Washington and termed his audience "ladies and gentlemen." The Democratic candidate, Harry Hettzburg, stooped to every means to defeat him, addressing colored meetings and accusing Wurzbach of tricking a well-known young colored woman who applied for a position. The colored vote rallied to the Congressman and he admits his election to their support. Mr. Lewis Dixon, chief soda dispenser at the Owl Drug store in Phoenix, was a Sunday visitor in Superior, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Miller. Mr. Garmon of Miami, Miss Phelan of Globe and Mrs. Effie Jackson of Miami motored to Superior Sunday afternoon and spent the evening in our city. Mrs. Mercedes Taylor and Miss Bessie Smith have returned to Superior after spending a week in Globe visiting friends and relatives. Mrs. Julius Miller is suffering with a stubborn cold. The white press in this country is trying its hardest to put Sikl out of the fighting game for the same reason that it framed Jack Johnson—he whipped a white man champ. cially when cooked by a real southern cook. In New York some of the old families thought that nothing went so well with turkey as turnips and potatoes mashed together. ALWAYS TURKEY The meat chosen for this dinner was that from the turkey, a bird which first was wild, coming from Mexico, and later domesticated. The vegetables were those grown during the summer and were ready for winter use—the onion, squash, pumpkin, turnips and potatoes. The pumpkin has always been used for pies, and when a pie is made from a good pumpkin, combined with eggs, milk and spice, no better pie can be made. The sweet potato in the south takes the place to a degree of the northern pumpkin. OYSTER SOUP Along the Atlantic coast the oyster grew in great quantities, and so an oyster soup, or oysters creamed or scalloped must always appear on the Thanksgiving menu. For table decoration a pumpkin hollowed out makes an attractive fruit dish. Fruit and autumn leaves with chrysanthemums for those who can have them make a table quite in keeping with the season. Nuts of all kinds for after dinner and good sweet cider to drink, with bright red apples to eat, made the day one to be remembered until the next year should bring another one. (Special to The Tribune) OYSTER SOUP BRISBANE THINKS COLORED MAN MUST LOOK UP TO WHITE MAN CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 24—Siki is still a front page feature of the daily press. Arthur Brisbane in his "Today" column delivered the following comment last Friday on the Senegalese fighter: "Monsieur Siki, black prize fighter from Senegal, via Paris, became an acknowledged figure of world importance when he knocked out Carpentier. He was to fight Joe Beckett, white English champion, but the British government forbids it. That means "part of Britain's work is keeping many black, yellow, and half black people in their places. It is necessary that black men should look up to white men. They cannot do that, with the white man lying at the black man's feet, knocked out. In other words, we may not be able to beat you black gentlemen, but we can forbid you to fight white men. Why not stop prize fighting, black and white? Would that also be a blow at white civilization?" NEW MINISTER COMES TO TANNER CHAPEL FROM SAPULPA, OKLA NEW MINISTER COMES TO TANNER CHAPEL FROM SAPULPA, OKLA The Rev. A. C. Moore, who comes to Phoenix from Sapulpa, Okla., to take charge of Tanner Chapel A. M. E. church, is a graduate of Lane College of Jackson, Tenn., and was a classmate of Bishop J. A. Hamlett of the C. M. E. church. He has taught school for fourteen years and has pastored seventeen years. For three years he was principal of the city school of Sapulpa, and for four years was principal of the school at Baggs, Okla. He is a native of Tennessee, having come to Oklahoma twelve years ago from Jackson, and has been assigned as pastor in Venita, Grayson, Telequah and Sapulpa, from which place he was sent to Phoenix. Dr. Moore was secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. in Sapulpa, also served as secretary of the Inter-Racial Committee. He was chosen to represent the state of Oklahoma at one time, and at the meeting were Dr. Locke, one of the leading white ministers of the state and former governor Jenkins. With him is his cultured and refined wife, whom he married in Oklahoma. Mrs. Moore came to Oklahoma from Chicago, her former home and since her marriage, has greatly assisted her husband in his work. Rev. and Mrs. Moore are lovable people and have been extended a cordial welcome by members of Tanner Chapel. Home Bakery Mrs. J. J. Brown, of 1722 East Jefferson street, conducts a first class bakery, and specializes in home-made bread, pies and cakes. This business, which was started only a short time ago, is growing by leaps and bounds and bids fair to become an important factor in the business life of Phoenix. Those who plan to have "REAL" fruit cake for Thanksgiving and Christmas should place their order with Mrs. Brown now. Just phone 2120 and tell her what you want. Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth.

Y. Nov. 24.—Africa should be the Continent of Great Misunderstanding. "Dark Continent," and its vastness in raw materials and in the development of savagery; such is the theme of a real international commission after an interim hygienic, economic, social, and religious report has been published by the land. Commission, composed of experts in our primary fields, spent ten months in Africa in 1920 and the following winter, travelled 100 miles through West, South, and the scores of schools and mission stations. States of America and Europe were visits and European traders were consulted interviewed. Personnel of the commission included Jones, chairman, writer of the official education of the Phelps-Stokes Fund and Schools in the United States;" Jamie Aggrey, a member of the Fanti tribe of Dr. Henry Stanley Hollenback of the 12 years has been a medical mission board in Angola; Mr. and Mrs. Arth, England, missionaries of the United Fund, appointed by the Conference of Great Britain and Ireland to represent societies, and the Rev. John T. Tucker, an expert in industrial education. The backing of the various mission commission was accorded the hearty commitment officials. Educated Africans show the commission every courtesy and good welcome. Report says: "Of the many misconceptions to limit the investment of capital in local agriculture, to hamper the efforts of arts and to discourage the support of four of such importance as to require any effort to evaluate the educational way are: Misunderstandings as to weather and natural scenery; the healthfulness and promising possibilities of sanitary improvability of the African people and American influence." Jones points out in the report that the physical resources of Africa are praised the civilized world largely because they have been made for private and government results have not been published, an evidence of potential wealth to cost the political that Africa is the undeveloped old. The diamond fields of Kimberley, Johannesburg, the coal mines of Rhodeiopper plateaus of Belgian Congo and Angola are cited as specific instance richness in natural resources. Report continues: "Africa's reputation was the result of the tragic experience the continent without knowledge or indifferent to the hardships always trance of pioneers into a new country of Africa with other parts of the world show that Africa will respond if sanitation and hygiene in exactly other continents of similar climatic, ecological." Long for that the most unfortunate and understandings is that the African people use of development sufficient to warrry half, the report says: improvability of the African people their response to the efforts of misandromatic organizations. Their lawyers and ministers who have comments of European universities. While all it is sufficient to prove the capacity of the clerical tasks of government, indiscreet largely instrusted to young African operations on railroads and in more and more being taken over by African mission gives emphatic testimony to native teachers and ministers.

The report that the immense of Africa are practically unarguable because the researcher private and governmental been published, and there is initial wealth to convince them as the undeveloped treasure fields of Kimberley, the gold coal mines of Rhodesia, the Belgian Congo and the oil is specific instances of the resources. Africa's reputation for one of the tragic experiences of man without knowledge of the hardships always attend into a new country. A fair other parts of the world will respond to modern hygiene in exactly the same similar climatic, economic, and just unfortunate and unfair or not the African people do not sufficient to warrant efforts: The African people is clearly the efforts of missions, governmental organizations.

Prehensive educational system recommends that equal open teaching of both boys and the development of college in the training of the native New York, N. Y. Nov. 24.—Africa should be referred to as the "Continent of Great Misunderstandings" rather than the "Dark Continent," and its vast potential strength in raw materials and in the development of its native peoples should be stressed instead of emphasizing the jungle savagery; such is the theme of a report made by an international commission after an intensive study of African hygienic, economic, social, and religious conditions. The report has been published by the Phelps-Stokes Fund. The commission, composed of experts in educational and missionary fields, spent ten months in Africa during the fall of 1920 and the following winter, traveling more than 25,000 miles through West, South, and equatorial Africa. Scores of schools and mission stations supported by churches of America and Europe were visited, Colonial officials and European traders were consulted and native chiefs interviewed. The personnel of the commission included Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman, writer of the official report, director of education of the Phelps-Stokes Fund and author of "Negro Schools in the United States;" James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey, a member of the Fanti tribe of the Gold Coast who is a professor in Livingstone College, North Carolina; Dr. Henry Stanley Hollenback of Wisconsin, who for 12 years has been a medical missionary of the American board in Angola; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Wilkie of Scotland, missionaries of the United Free Church of Scotland, appointed by the Conference of Missionary Societies of Great Britain and Ireland to represent the British societies, and the Rev. John T. Tucker of the Canadian Congregational board in Angola; Leo A. Roy of New York, an expert in industrial education served as secretary. Besides the backing of the various missionary societies, the commission was accorded the hearty co-operation of government officials. Educated Africans showed members of the commission every courtesy and gave them a cordial welcome. The report says: "Of the many misconceptions that still tend to limit the investment of capital in African industry and agriculture, to hamper the efforts of Colonial governments and to discourage the support of missions, there are four of such importance as to require consideration in any effort to evaluate the educational possibilities. They are: Misunderstandings as to wealth of resources and natural scenery; the healthfulness of the continent and promising possibilities of sanitary improvement; the improvability of the African peoples; and European and American influence." Dr. Jones points out in the report that the immense and varied physical resources of Africa are practically unknown to the civilized world largely because the researches so far have been made for private and governmental use and the results have not been published, and there is sufficient evidence of potential wealth to convince the most skeptical that Africa is the undeveloped treasure of the world. The diamond fields of Kimberley, the gold ridge of Johannesburg, the coal mines of Rhodesia, the Patanga copper plateaus of Belgian Congo and the oil areas of Angola are cited as specific instances of the country's richness in natural resources. The report continues: "Africa's reputation for unhealthfulness was the result of the tragic experiences of those who entered the continent without knowledge of the conditions or indifferent to the hardships always attending the entrance of pioneers into a new country. A fair comparison of Africa with other parts of the world will undoubtedly show that Africa will respond to modern methods of sanitation and hygiene in exactly the same way as other continents of similar climatic, economic, and social conditions." Setting forth that the most unfortunate and unfair of all misunderstandings is that the African people do not give promise of development sufficient to warrant efforts in their behalf, the report says: "The improvability of the African people is clearly shown by their response to the efforts of missions, governments and commercial organizations. There are physicians, lawyers and ministers who have completed the requirements of European universities. While the number is small it is sufficient to prove the capacity of the people. The clerical tasks of government, industry, and commerce are largely instrusted to young African men. The mechanical operations on railroads and in construction are more and more being taken over by African workmen. Every mission gives emphatic testimony to the value of the native teachers and ministers. The importance of a comprehensive educational system is emphasized, and Dr. Jones recommends that equal opportunities be provided for the teaching of both boys and girls. His plan also calls for the development of college and professional schools for the training of the native (Continued on page 4.)

RELIGIOUS UNREST is an editorial which appeaanges, and as there is not m people of the east and west ment, for the edification o Following is an editorial which appeared recently in one of our exchanges, and as there is not much difference between colored people of the east and west, we reproduce it without comment, for the edification of our readers. The article follows: The Christian church is today facing the gravest problems that it has been called upon to face in many a year. The spirit of unrest so prevalent in the world today is being felt in no uncertain way in our churches. The falling away of church attendance in nearly all of our churches is being more and more discussed. Many and varied have been the reasons advanced, but if this article is to do the good that it is intended that it should we must discuss with utter frankness some of the things that cause a falling away in church attendance. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University in an address delivered in Philadelphia a year ago, attributed the unrest to education. While this is true to a large degree yet we may trace much of it to our insatiate desire to imitate the white man. As our churches discard the old spirituals that our mothers sang, songs that were never set to music, but the pent up outpourings of a devout people, our churches lose their power to attract. The old plantation melodies have a peculiar place in the life of our race. And when ere we fail to recognize that fact, slowly but surely with the irresistible movement of a geological subsidence, faith in waning, even among the most devout. Twenty years ago nearly everyone held to some religious creed. Today those of our group who follow no particular creed number thousands and as their hopes of heavenly Kingdom dissolve, other hopes assert themselves with growing intensity. Much of this can be charged back to our desire to imitate the white man's cold unemotional religion, devoid of fire and fervor, so characteristic of our people. And as our preachers fall away from the old time gospel fervor, our people fall away from the churches in ever increasing numbers. Robert Blatchford in the London Clarion said: "We shall never reach the happiness the King desires for us until we have converted our religious leaders and made Christians out of them. The world said he is full with so-called religion which is not religion at all; not Christianity at all, merely organized hypocracy." We cannot say as much as Mr. Blatchford upon this subject, but one thing we can say and that is that there is something radically wrong and if the church would measure up to its high calling, some of the tactics now being persued by ministers of the gospel must be abanodned. Those who wend their way to church on Sunday, go to hear the gospel of the Son of God, not to listen too long harangues about some criticisms that might have been leveled at the preacher during the week. Jesus said: "If I be lifted up from the Earth, I will draw all men unto me." And if the lifting up of Jesus fails, it is a foregone conclusion that all else will. The spending of hours in telling how good he is and how bad the one with contrary views is, does more to drive away the attendance than any other one thing. If our ministers would do more preaching and less fault finding, our churches would soon take on the new life so necessary to the life of a well organized church. After nearly 2,000 years, much of the world today resembles the Athens of St. Paul's day in that it is given almost entirely to idolatry, but in our case there are as many idols as idol worshippers and every such one finds his idol in his looking glass. But these man made gods, this endless number of personal idols must be broken up and destroyed, and the Divine Spirit brought to the people as revealed in Jesus Christ. It is only this spirit that can conquer, all else must fail. Let the gospel have the sway and men will instinctively turn to right and righteousness. In our churches the spirit of the Master must predominate or else they will continue to wax cold. If men are to be saved they must be saved by the preaching of an unadulterated gospel. Our collection worries and financial difficulties cease as soon as we lift up Jesus and leave off man. Personal, Local and Society News OF THE STATE CAPITAL By R. L. S., Society Editor The Booker T.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING ```markdown ``` MINES AND RAILS LEAD DEVELOPMENT MINES AND RAILS LEAD DEVELOPMENT Co-operation of S. P. With Mines Increases Business and Population The vast, wealth-laden territory west of the Rocky Mountains owes its development primarily to two agencies—Mining and Railroading. The attention of the world was first attracted to the West with the announcement of the discovery of gold. A great influx of people followed and the tales of the resources and possibilities in the West spread to all parts of the globe. The one great obstacle in the way of development was the lack of transportation facilities. The long, perilous voyage around Cape Horn in "windjammers" mitigated against any considerable interchange of commerce. Fortunately there were captains of industry and finance possessed of broad vision, courage and sufficient faith in the future of the West to conceive and bring to completion great systems of transcontinental railways. Among these the Southern Pacific were the first lines. For many years there were nothing but main lines of railroads through the mining territory and the ores and rich minerals were transported to the railways by mules, donkeys and horses from mines far back in the mountains. The placer mining camps of the early days were about the only ones located adjacent to the railroad. In the last twenty-five years the greater mining development on the Southern Pacific has been in Nevada and in Arizona and New Mexico. Operations in these districts have resulted in very heavy movements of mining supplies such as concentrating, smelting and other treating machinery, explosives, timbers and fuel. There also has developed a very heavy outbound tonnage of bullion and other finished or semi-completed mineral products from the mines. S. P. Co-Operates The policy of the Southern Pacific always has been to co-operate in the development of these properties. In doing so it has followed the plan of publishing reasonable freight rates on the materials and supplies used in the mines and in the treatment of the products of the mines, with low rates on the ores or on the manufactured products out of the smelters. In the adjustment of rates on the products of the mines it has been the policy to establish schedules based upon the values of the product. The principle has been recognized that a producer of ore worth $100 a ton can afford to pay a higher charge than can the producer of ore valued at $20. This has been done in recognition of the fact that the great bulk of the ores transported would be of lesser value and with the view of encouraging the greatest possible production of low grade ores, so that in the aggregate would be transported sufficient volume of tonnage to afford a reasonable return on the investment. The company also has encouraged to the fullest extent the treatment of minerals at the point of production. These policies have resulted in the maintenance of the closest possible feeling of co-operation between mine owners and the railroad, bringing about constantly increasing population in the mountain and desert regions, with development in the thriving industrial cities, where only a few years ago there was nothing but struggling mining camps. Twenty-five years ago both mining and railroad development in Arizona were in their infancy. Then the assessed value of all railroads operating within the state was less than $3,000,000, while the assessed value of mining property of all description was less than $2,000,000. Assessed Valuations The assessed valuations in 1921 forcefully show how the railroads and the mines constantly have progressed in the pioneering work of development. The assessed valuation of the rail roads of Arizona for this later year amounted to more than $101,000,000 while that of the mining properties was more than $407,000,000. This enormous increase in the mining development in Arizona, from a comparatively insignificant copper producer twenty-five years ago to the greatest copper producing section of the United States today, has been due to a marked degree to the rail road development. It is considered highly significant that some of the greatest copper producing sections of the state actually have been developed only after the railroads were built into those territories. One example of this was in the construction of what now is the Arizona Eastern Railroad, a line 124 miles long, into Globe, for one large mine. As a result, the extensive low grade properties in the vicinity of Miami were developed. The mines at Ray were developed in a similar manner following construction of a branch line railroad to Winkelman. Mining experts declare it is a great question as to whether the low grade bodies in the vicinity of Miami and Ray ever would have been developed had it not been for the fact that branch railroad lines previously had been constructed to serve other terriories. The story of development work in New Mexico, Nevada and in other sections is a similar one. The Cross-Cut "That's something for the future. In that case things might be different. But I can only follow the law, with the members of the jury instructed, of course, to accept the evidence for what they deem it is worth. You will proceed, Mrs. Rodaine. What did you see that caused you to come to this conclusion?" "Can't you even stick to the rules and ethics of testimony?" It was the final plea of the defeated Farrell. The coroner eyed him slowly. "Mr. Farrell," came his answer, "I must confess to a deviation from regular court procedure in this inquiry. It is customary in an inquest of this character; certain departures from the usual rules must be made that the truth and the whole truth be learned. Proceed, Mrs. Rodaine, what was it you saw?" Transfixed, horrified, Fairchild watched the mumbling, munching mouth, the staring eyes and straying white hair, the bony, crooked hands as they weaved before her. From those toothless jaws a story was about to come, true or untrue, a story that would stain the name of his father with murder. And that story now was at its beginning. "I saw them together at afternoon early," the old woman was saying. "I came up the road just behind them, and they were fussing. Both of 'em acted like they were mad at each other, but Fairchild seemed to be the maddest. "I didn't pay much attention to them because I just thought they were fighting about some little thing and that it wouldn't amount to much. I went on the gulch—I was gathering flowers. After awhile the earth shook and I heard a big explosion, from away down underneath me—like thunder when it's far away. Then, pretty soon, I saw Fairchild come rushing out of the mine, and his hands were all bloody. He ran to the creek and washed them, looking around to see if anybody was watching him—but he didn't notice me. Then, when he'd washed the blood from his hands, he got up on the road and went down into town. Later on, I thought I saw all three of 'em leave town, Fairchild. Sissie and a fellow named Harkins. So I never paid any more attention to it until today. That's all I know." She stepped down then and went back to her seat with Squint Rodaine and the son, fidgeting there again, craning her neck as before, while Fairchild, son of a man just accused of murder, watched her with eyes fascinated from horror. The coroner looked at a slip of paper in his hand. "William Barton," he called. A miner came forward, to go through the usual formalities, and then he asked the question: "Did you see Thornton Fairchild on the night he left Ohadi?" "Yes, a lot of us saw him. He drove out of town with Harry Harkins, and a fellow who we all thought was Sissie Larsen." "That's all. Gentlemen of the jury," he turned his back on the crowded room and faced the small, worried appearing group on the row of kitchen chairs, "you have heard the evidence. You will find a room at the right in which to conduct your deliberations." Shuffling forms faded through the door at the right. Then followed long moments of waiting, in which Robert Fairchild's eyes went to the floor, in which he strove to avoid the gaze of VANWICE "We, the Jury, Find That the Deceased Came to His Death From Injuries Sustained at the Hands of Thornton Fairchild." every one in the crowded courtroom. He knew what they were thinking, that his father had been a murderer, and that he—well, that he was blood of his father's blood. He could hear the buzzing of tongues, the shifting of the courtroom on the unstable chairs, and he knew fingers were pointing at him. For once in his life he had not the strength to face his fellow men. A quarter of an hour—a knock on the door—then the six men clattered forth again, to hand a piece of paper to the coroner. And he, adjusting his glasses turned to the courtroom and read: "We, the jury, find that the deceased came to his death from injuries sustained at the hands of Thornton Fairchild, in or about the month of June, 1892." That was all, but it was enough. The stain had been placed; the thing which the white-haired man who had sat by a window back in Indianapolis had feared all his life had come after death. It seemed hours before the courtroom cleared. Then, the attorney at (To be continued) CHURCH DIRECTORY CHURCH DIRECTORY A. M. E. Church Corner Second street and Jefferson. A. C.

PAGE THREE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH IS DOING A GREAT WORK FOR THE RACE THROUGH BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THAT CHURCH buildings will be erected on the new site where there is now ground for extension in the years to come. 16. At Claflin College, Orangeburg, South Carolina, the endowment has been advanced to $130,000 and invested. With the regular appropriation by the board the salary budget of the institution has enabled the employment for 1922-23 of the strongest faculty in the history of the institution. Improvements are being made especially in science laboratories to make full use of the additional teaching force. 17. There has just been issued a book entitled "Methodist Adventures in Negro Education," which gives the entire history and progress of the fifty years of education of the Negro by the Methodist Episcopal church. The education of the Negro being a part of the allied benevolences of the Methodist Episcopal church Negro progress is being given to the white world through this agency as never before. Secretary I. Garland Penn is the only Negro on the Committee of Twenty-five, to prepare the advance program of the Methodist Episcopal church, which is to follow the present Centenary period. In commenting upon the future of the Negro in the Methodist Episcopal church, he said the advance in education and evangelism of the Negro had just begun, and that more would be done in enlarging church and educational plants in the next ten years than had been done in the past thirty. Secretary Penn stated that the 19 schools have opened with the strongest faculties ever employed in the history of the board's activities, and have the largest attendance of students. During the scholastic year 1921-22 there were 6,383 students in the institutions, with 406 teachers, an increase of 49 teachers and 600 students over the previous year. The current expenditures of the 19 institutions amount to one million and forty-one thousand dollars for the year 1921-22, which is just twice the sum expended five years ago. Secretary Penn states that the Methodist Episcopal church will see its institutions for the educations of the Negro through to the largest possible usefulness. COMMISSION COMPOSED OF EXPERTS leaders without whom Dr. Jones says the general welfare of Africa cannot be advanced. High praise is given missionaries. "Through their devotion to the people, their efforts in behalf of education and their emphasis on morals and morale they have made the most fundamental contribution of all," says the report. The idea of making a comprehensive study of Africa originated with the Protestant Missionary Boards of North America, which enlisted the co-operation of representative British missionary societies, the Phelps-Stokes Fund and the Colonial offices of Great Britain, France, and Belgium.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING COLORED WORKERS HAVE MASTERED EVERY ART AND TRADE OF THE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY SAY GOVERNMENT EXPERTS Due to an oversight, Mrs. Elick Youngblood's name was entered in last week's Tribune without the title. Mrs. Ella Youngblood's name was mispelled in this same issue. With the advent of the steam laundry 40 years ago, began the gradual passing of the picturesque Negro washerwoman, arrayed in gingham apron, delivering the family wash. For a century or more the washing in certain sections of the country was done by colored people. The Department of Labor, through Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation, instituted a survey to ascertain to what extent Negroes were still employed in the laundry industry. Washingotn D. C., was selected as a typical city for the investigation, and the result indicates that 64.4 per cent of a total of 1,549 workers of both colors and sexes, engaged in the laundry business in Washington, D. C., are Negroes. This does not include Chinese and hand laundries; only those plants employing machinery. This per cent is based upon a total of 551 white and 998 colored workers, who are further divisible into 268 white males, 223 colored males, 282 white females, and 776 colored females, the colored males and females forming, respectively, 14.4 per cent and 50.0 per cent of the grand total of 1,549. Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Joe Anderson entertained with beautifully appointed dinner in honor of Mr. Tom King's birthday anniversary. Music was one of the entertaining features and Mrs. King received many beautiful presents. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Winston, Mrs. Harrison, mother of Mrs. Winston; Mr. and Mrs. Tom King, Mr. and Mrs. Burkhardt, Baby Marie, the host and hostess. Mrs. Burkhardt has been quite ill suffering with an attack of la gripppe, but is improved. Mrs. Joe Anderson has quite recovered from her recent indisposition. Mrs. L. A. McCarty has had several very sick spells, but is much improved at present. Mr. L. A. McCarty made a flying trip to Ashfork Saturday, evening to meet his brother, Mr. H. T. McCarty, who is in the train service and was scheduled to pass through that city at 12 o'clock Sunday. It has been more than five years since the brothers met, and they were glad to see each other. An analysis, by skill, of these workers, after eliminating 196 unclassified workers, disclose the further fact that it takes 863 skilled workers, as against 490 unskilled workers, to conduct the plant laundry industry of Washington, D.C. Colored skilled workers, with a per cent of 57.2 are performing the bulk of the skilled duties, and of that per cent colored female workers with a per cent of 42.6, which is practically equal to the entire white increment, male and female, of 42.8 per cent, are performing virtually one-half of the entire skilled laundry work. Their male co-workers account for the remaining 14.6 per cent of the skilled work. Mrs. Clarence Maxwell returned last Friday from the coast, where she had a delightful visit with her mother. Mr. Maxwell is wearing a smile that won't come off. Mr. L. A. McCarty left Monday on a buying trip to Phoenix. He will purchase a large stock of Mackinaw's suits and Christmas novelties. When you do your Christmas shopping, be sure to visit Mr. McCarty's store, for he will have just what you are looking for. Coming to the unskilled group of 490 workers, 73 white and 417 colored, it is found that the latter have a per centage of 85.1 as against 14.9 for the former; and that the colored females with a per cent of 74.1 are, as before, performing the greater part of all duties. Colored males have an inclusion among the unskilled workers of 11.0 per cent. Mr. Foreman, manager of the City Shining Parlors, was confined several days last week with an attack of la gripe, but is now feeling fine. Mrs. A. Larkin is at your service evenings, but those who desire treatment should phone 250 for appointment. She is a wonderful masseuse and gives relief to nervous, run-down people. A further analysis was made, as far as possible, of the actual occupations of these workers, and it was found that they were principally distributed as follows: Occupations White Colored Assorters and markers 129 70 Drivers 117 58 Engineers 11 5 Ironers 122 492 Office Help 44 0 Shakers 10 44 Shirt and Collar Girls 12 57 Washers 17 108 All others 89 164 Made-to-Measure Clothes Mr. A. L. Stitt of 623 West Grant street, conducts the only exclusive tailoring establishment among our group in the city. He is the resident agent for the International Tailoring Co., of New York and Chicago, and specializes in made-to-measure clothes for men and women. He has one of the most attractive line of samples ever brought to Phoenix, and all he asks, is a chance to show you. He has had twenty years' experience in the merchant tailoring business, and he "knows his stuff." Notes: 1. "Dirvers" include collectors and deliverers; 2. "Washers" includes starchers and wringers; 2. "Ironer" includes machine operators and feeders; 4. "Engineers" includes firemen and mechanics; 5. "All Others" includes supervisors, catchers, cleaners, general helpers, etc. Furniture Dealers Messrs. Albert Turner and Wm. Shannon, proprietors of the Racket Store, 31 South 2nd street, are our "live wire" furniture dealers. They buy and sell all kinds of second hand furniture and all other household goods. They cater to the trade, and if they don't happen to have what you want, they will get it for you. They also have a cleaning and pressing shop in connection and Mr. Jim Zampier, an ex-service man, is in charge of this department. If your clothes need mending, cleaning and pressing, see Mr. Zampier at the Racket Store. From the above it is apparent that Negro workers have mastered every art and trade of the laundry industry on through its development from the hand to the machine processes, and that their female wing has advanced, along with the whites far beyond the stages of apprenticeship. While the above figures and facts do not depict the full circumstances of 100 per cent of the laundry workers of Washington, D. C., and while they must not be understood to have any reference to the many private workers who, as of yore, are still plying their trades with old customers who do not desire to utilize the modern and mechanical means of washing and ironing; yet it is believed that the statistics submitted by the active plants which readily cooperated with the department in this study are thoroughly typical of normal local conditions, both as to the above plants and as to the very small increment remaining untabulated. The election is over and everybody is happy. If not, the winners don't care. There is nothing lasting in a man climbing to fame over the slandered and libeled body of another.

A rumor reaches a newspaper office to the effect that bank merger is to be consummated. A reporter is sent to ascertain the facts. Does the bank president admit the truth of the rumor, but ask that, for business reasons, the matter be not made public for a few days? He does not. He tells the reporter that there is no truth in the rumor. A few days later the deal goes through and—the newspaper knows that the bank president lied. A public official grants an interview, in which he makes certain statements. The next day political or other pressure is brought to bear. Does he come out in the open and admit his mistake or his change of heart? He does not. He promptly repudiates the interview of the day before and—the reporter knows he lied. A society matron's daughter becomes engaged to a prominent man, but the family is not ready to make the announcement. Does the society matron tell the truth and ask that the matter be kept quiet for a few days? She does not. She pretends surprise and denies there is any foundation for the rumor. The following week the announcement is made—the society editor knows the woman has prevaricated. So it goes down the line. People who would not think of deceiving business associates, people who would scorn to resort to untruth or subterfuge in ordinary affairs, men and women whose word literally is as good as their bond in financial matters, these are the people, for the most part, who have no compunctions of conscience about deliberately lying to a newspaper representative.—Arthur L.
