VOL. V.—NO. 41 FEDERAL JUDGE IN GEORGIA DENOUNCES THE KU KLUX KLAN (Preston News Service.) ALBANY, Ga., Jan. 5.—Sharp criticism of the Ku Klux Klan, assertions of its harmfulness and suggestions for combating it were contained in the charge to the grand jury last Monday by Judge William H. Barrett, of the United States District court for south Georgia, at the opening of the Albany division. "With the earnestness and zeal of a Georgia citizen," said Judge Barrett, "one who loves his state and country, I implore you to co-operate in combating what is unquestionably a menace, what I believe has not yet assumed as great magnitude as many would have us believe, but which is undoubtedly a disease in the body politic and if we are to treat it wisely we should treat it now, in its incipiency, and that is the Ku Klux Klan." "I am told that the constitution of this organization is worded in such a way that no patriotic citizen can cavil at it," Judge Barrett continued, "but my information is that the real motives that lead to joining, though not professed in the constitution, are usually one of four, I may say. One that perhaps had considerable force at the initiation of it was an anti-Negro sentiment, founded upon the proposition that by reason of the unusual treatment accorded some Negro soldiers abroad there might be an effort on their part to create an unhappy situation here. Another is an anti-Catholic sentiment, which would seek, if not to punish, at least greatly to subdue all those who believe in that religion. Another was an anti-Jewish sentiment. Another, and perhaps the most general—and I do not wish to be vituper—a time—was in arrogating to themselves a super-knowledge and virtue, by which they would determine what things were wrong, and that they could correct them wholly independent of government, courts and law. "I ask you, gentlemen," Judge Barrett continued, "eye to eye and face to face, to ask any member of the Klan, if perchance he has a young daughter, if he is willing to so carry on his life and activities that her virtue and her protection shall depend, not upon courts, not upon law, but upon the passion of men. Ask him, if he has a young son, if he is willing for him to grow up in a country that knows no law. Ask him, if he knows he is right, why mask? The cure of wrong is light, and you may count upon it, when a man feels that he must act with a hidden countenance and in secret, in the depths of his heart he doubts his rightness. I call to his attention the fact that a mask may conceal not only an honest man and a patriot, but it may conceal a barbarian. One clothed with iniquity, who seeks to wreak his own personal hate or jealousy by taking advantage of the organization. I ask him if a mask cannot just as well dhe a Negro's face as a white face, a Caholic face as a Protestant, a Jew's as well as a Gentle's. Ask him if he does not realize that by this practice, however worthy he may think for the movement, he is turning loose the beast which will overrun all good government, all law, all justice, all love of man, and bring our country to desolation and despair." The man who thinks the business cannot run without him soon shares profits with a nerve specialist To Our Readers And advertisement in the Tribune is a direct personal appeal to YOU. Go Where You Are Invited OIL WELL MAKES MAN RICH OVER NGHT IN LOUISIANA, AVERS OIL WELL MAKES MAN RICH OVER NGHT IN LOUISIANA, AVERS (Preston News Service.) SHREVEPORT, La., Jan.5.—The discovery of oil on the land of Wright Rock, who has been totally blind for a number of years, took him and his family of 15 children out of poverty into wealth almost over night. When informed of his wealth the old man is said to have told his informant that he did not know what to do with it except buy himself some clothes and some thing to eat. He is an ex-slave and being blind is unable to fully enjoy the things wealth brings. But his children declare that they will see to it that they get all that is coming to them. Only two of his children are with him now. The others are said to be on their way to father now, although they had not communicated with him for years past. At 3:30 in the afternoon Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Young were at home to their friends with a seven-course dinner. The home was beautifully decorated with Christmas colors, while the table was daintily decorated with white and pink carnations. Mrs. Young received many beautiful presents.

Garrett, Mr. and Mrs. Staton, Mrs. Paul Conner, Mr. Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Anderson and babies Marie and Frankle. The guests departed at a late hour, declaring Mr. and Mrs. Young royal entertainers. The exquisite Christmas breakfast given by Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Alexander at their beautiful home, was great.

January 1st Mr. and Mrs. Tull were at home to a number of their friends with a beautifully appointed New Year's dinner.

He spent a part of the holidays there, reporting a wonderful visit on his return. Mr. and Mrs. Millo Mack, of Long Beach, California, formerly of Prescott, just recently made a splendid purchase in Long Beach. They bought a beautiful home there. Mr. and Mrs. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 HARRY WILLS KEEPS HIMSELF IN TRIM FOR DEMPSEY BOUT (Preston News Service.) NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 5.—Harry Wills is keeping himself in the pink of condition watchfully waiting for a crack at the title. He knows that Dempsey will run out of bunk pretty soon and the general public will demand a show down. Some people think that Wills will not be in as good condition next summer as he is now and that Dempsey will not have much trouble doing away with him in the ring. However, Harry Wills is taking very good care of himself and losing no opportunity to keep himself in the best of condition. Wills realizes that Dempsey is a hard man and is keeping himself prepared to meet just such a man. Some wise ones claim that Wills is a poor fighter against an opponent whom he does not know, but when he knows his opponent and has confidence in himself he is a hard man to whip. In the case of Dempsey, Wills knows about what he will be up against and has confidence that he can lick Dempsey, and therefore will go into the ring with a full confidence that he will come out winner. Some writers are of the opinion that Dempsey is afraid of Wills, while others think Wills is afraid of Dempsey. Be that as it may, this writer believes that both men will fight to a finish and the battle will be staged between two men with "blood" in their eyes and hearts. Mack owned one of the most beautiful homes here in Prescott. Clarence and Mrs. Maxwell are very much reconciled, and are happy take lifg lovely rides in their car, and are planning a great future. Her friends are glad for the change made. Prescott has enjoyed the most beautiful weather, which added much to the Christmas holidays, and the beautiful spirit which has prevailed made it the more interesting. The ushering in of the New Year found most of the church-going and christian folks at watch meetings. The many changes and improvements afford a wonderful outlook for a prosperous future.

Of the 57 persons lynched in 1922, 51 were Negroes and 6 were whites; 19 or one-third of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape; 6 of the victims were burned.

The reporter was unable to obtain the names of those present, but the affair was greatly enjoyed. Mrs. L. A. McCarty is reported to be about the same, having had several bad spells the past week. It is the earnest hope of her many friends that she have a change for the better, that the new year will effect a great change in her condition and she may obtain perfect health. All things are possible with God. The baby is getting along beautifully, is having perfect health, and is as fat and beautiful as can be. The New Year's wish of their friends is that perfect health be obtained. The beautiful babies of Mr. and Mrs. Smith were wonderfully remembered by relatives in California, Phoenix and other places, as well as the many friends here. Complete outfits were sent for each of them from the grandmothers, and their toys are wonderful. Mr. and Mrs. Smith should be very proud of such beautiful children.

COLORED PEOPLE WHO LAZIEST MAN GIVEN WENT NORTH READY SIXTY DAYS IN JAIL TO RETURN, AVERS BY AUSTERE JUDGE (Preston News Service.) HELENA, Ark., Jan., 5.—Following announcement at the local Rotary Club last Thursday night that Negros from this section now in the North were anxious to return to their old jobs here, a committee was appointed to provide ways and means of furnishing transportation for such individuals and families as local planters, industries and business concerns might require. According to a statement issued by the secretary of the club, "Numbers of Negroes who went north from this county during the summer and early fall have already returned, mostly at their own expense. One man declared that he "beat his way to Helena from Chicago." Continuing the report declared, "A recital of the difficulties encountered by Negroes in the northern industrial centers are appalling. Negroes claim they are lured north on the promise of high wages. They get the high wages al right, but the living expenses are correspondingly high. Can't find houses for their families and when they are compelled to buy suitable clothing to withstand the rigors of winter weather, pay doctor bills, etc. their wages are insufficient. One Negro said he was satisfied to stay down here with low wages and in adequate school facilities for his child ren rather than suffer the inconveniences up north. Death Claims Mrs. Lottie Taylor Sunday, December 24th, Mrs. Lottie Taylor answered the final summons of the Master, only a few weeks after her husband, Rev. George Wilbur Taylor, passed away. Both funerals were very sad, because of the fact that no near relatives of the deceased were present. Mrs. Taylor was married to Rev. Taylor in Prescott a few years ago, after the death of his first wife, Mrs. Katherine Claggett Taylor. They were comfortably domiciled in the Taylor home on So. Pleasant St. where Mrs. Taylor lived until a day previous to her death, when she was taken to the Mercy Hospital. She had suffered intensely, and was alone a great portion of the time, having been found by one of Rev. Simpson's little sons in a critical condition. Relief was given, but her time had come and she passed into the great beyond to join those who had gone on before. No relatives of the deceased have been reached, and anyone related to either Rev. or Mrs. Taylor, will please write Mrs. L. V. Hines, Box 224, Prescott, reporter for The Phoenix Tribune. The home and estate are left and relatives should be notified. The funeral services were conducted from the People's A. M. E. Zion church Rev. Simpson, officiating, and music being furnished by the daughters. Interment was in the Citizens cemetery. Mr. John Ross, who met his death a few days ago, was buried in the Citizens' Cemetery, funeral services being conducted by Rev. L. H. Smith from the Ruffrerr Chapel. No relatives of the deceased were present. Mr. Larkin, a noble and brave soldier, and for some time a patient at the fort, passed away and was buried in the soldiers cemetery. Mr. Larkin was a soldier in the regular army, having served in Cuba, Carrizal and in the late war. A full account of his death will appear in the next issue of The Tribune. The Christmas trees at both churches were a glowing success, and large crowds were in attendance. The children had a merry time. Mrs. Joe Anderson has been quite sick, but is able to be up a little. It is hoped that she will soon feel normal. She is suffering with an attack of La grippe. Mr. Joseph Burkhardt has been quite ill with a severe cold, but is better. We hope for a speedy recovery. Mrs. Blair has been sick, but is recovering. We hope she will soon feel normal. Mr. Thos. E. Hines had a severe attack of La gripe last week, and was confined to his bed for two days. He is slowly improving and is now able to be up. We hope he will-soon recover. Mrs. Paul Conner, who has been suffering for some time with rheumatism, is some better, and is now able to be up a little on crutches. She was able to attend a dinner party during the holidays, but was taken (Creston News Service.) COLUMBIA, Ohio, Jan. 5. — "A young man who is too lazy to get out of bed and go to work and has the impudence to abuse his poor mother when she tries to get him out of bed in time for work, deserves to spend the holidays in jail where he will probably learn to get up when called" said Judge Seidel when he passed sentence of 80 days in jail on Alonzo Harrington last Friday morning. According to the testimony young Harrington was consistently cruel to his mother and sister for trying to get him up in time to go to work. Harrington was charged with beating his mother, Mrs. Elize Maize, when she commanded him to get out of bed and go to work. He admitted to the court that he had not worked since last summer. by taxi, and carried into the house by her friends. We hope she will be returned to perfect health again. Mrs. Georgia was sick last week with a severe cold and bronchial attack, but is some better. Mrs. Alice Larkin, the nurse, unfortunately sprained her ankle, and has suffered intensely for several days. She is under the doctor's care and is improving rapidly, being able to get about at the present. We hope she will soon recover. Mr. Robert Jordan is over from Jerome for the holidays. All his Prescott friends are glad to see him. Mrs. Paris Tabron, who has been quite sick, is improving, we are glad to state, and we hope she will soon recover. Baby Nettie is very grateful to the many friends and relatives who remembered her so beautifully at Christmas time. Many lovely and valuable presents were given her, and she is most appreciative of them all. Mr. Hines and wife were at home Christmas day at 7:30 to several of their friends, with a tastefully prepared dinner, served in family style, and reflecting Christmas of the olden days. The guests present were: Rev. and Mrs. Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Todd, Mrs. A. Larkin, Mr. Sells, Mother Ramsey, Baby Nettie and the host and hostess. On Tuesday evening at 8:00 o'clock, Rev. and Mrs. Harvey entertained with one of the swellest dinners given in Presscott, at their beautiful home, which was artistically decorated in Christmas colors, eastern idea. The table was decorated with small poinsettias and other Christmas decorations, and the turkey dinner, so deliciously cooked, was served in courses. The guests were Mrs. Lucy Delaney, Mother Ramsey, Baby Nettle, and Thos. E. Hines and wife. At a late hour the guests departed, declaring Mrs. Harvey a wonderful hostess. Sunday, December 31st, at 12 P. M., Mrs. Alice Larkin entertained several of her friends at the Hines home to a turkey lunch, which was a most enjoyable affair. The table formed the lotter "T." and twelve guests were seated and served in eastern style. Previous to the lunch, the guests went to a watch meeting, and on their return the dinner was served, the guests departing at the hour of 3 A. M. A wonderful time was had.

Those at the dinner were: Mr. and Mrs. Todd, Rev. and Mrs. Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Burkhardt, Mr. Dorse, Thos. E. Hines and wife, Mother Ramsey, Baby Nettie and the hostess. Much merriment was had, and all reported a wonderful time, and say Mrs. Larkin may ditto same at an early date if she chooses. Mother Massey returned from an extended visit in New York with her son, Mr. Sam, who recently lost his wife. Mother has not felt very well since her return, and is now suffering with rheumatism.

Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year KID NORFOLK BEATS LEE ANDERSON IN A TEN ROUND FIGHT BOSTON, Mass., Jan., 5—Lee Anderson, who has established a reputation for gameness and ability to take punishment, had his reputation put to a severe test last Friday night in the bout with Kid Norfolk, of New York, in Mechanics hall. Except for his showing in the first three rounds and in spots in a few other rounds, Anderson was at the mercy of Norfolk. Kid Norfolk won the decision, the bout going the entire route of 10 rounds, and the award belonged to him. Anderson, although he has done considerable training, did not appear to be in his usual form. He started out with a flash and it looked as though he was going to be a winner. He slammed some terrific swings and hooks to Norfolk's jaw, shaking him considerably. In the second and third versions of the affray Anderson got in his big works. He carried the fighting to Norfolk throughout these stanzas, once actually having Norfolk on the run. At the time a knockout by Anderson seemed probable. Although apparently bested during the first three rounds of the bout Norfolk never lost control. By the end of the third round Kid Norfolk began to get going and began to slam some stingers on Anderson's jaws and then it became apparent that there was going to be a different story. When Anderson came out for the fourth stanza of the setto he showed plainly that he was tired, failed to save himself from a lot of body punishment, and in his wild swinging opened himself up for more punishment, which Norfolk did not fail to administer. It was noticeable that many of his blows were merely slaps with the open hand. He had simply spent himself. Norfolk was well aware that the tide had turned and began to pick his spots like a sharpshooter and seldom failed to land where he aimed, mostly on the body. Norfolk won the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth rounds easily. Anderson did some punching and clinching, but little damage. In the meantime he received some midriff, and big Bertha wallops that would have caved in a man of less grit and stamina. In the ninth Anderson attempts the drowning man's stunt by grabbing at a straw, but the rally was too weak to turn the tide. However, he managed to even up the round. Norfolk won the tenth. Both men were considerably damaged from the fray. Norfolk received a bad cut on the forehead over the left eye when the two men brought their heads together early in the bout. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5—Charles Cook, aged 12 years, and his eight-year-old sister, Alice Cook, were severely injured last Friday in their home in L street, southwest, when they placed a dynamite cap on a hot stove in the kitchen of their home. The boy lost a thumb and four fingers on the righth hand, while the girl received a severe scalp wound. The children were playing in the street near their home when they found the explosive. The brother realized that it was an explosive of some kind, and thinking that they would have some fun, placed it on the hot stove, with the serious result.

Colored America may well look with pride on the achievements of 1922. It has been the greatest year of racial achievement. The millions within the ranks have marched forward, and their unquestioned tread has shaken the world into careful observation. In all avenues of endeavor, there has been more than an awakening; there has been steady progress. The outstanding features of the forward march have been the widespread understanding with which it has been accomplished, and the unfinching determination that animates the people everywhere. Obstacles have been turned into triumphs, and failures into success. Timidity and fear are unknown quantities, sacrifices are accepted as blessings and persecutions are held aloft as beacon lights. "The Negro Faces America," indeed, and also the world, resolved highly to sail on into the Harbor of Opportunity on the "Rising Tide of Color." POLITICAL World Conditions. The complexity of world affairs is being studied by the people. Rearing the same publications along with the rest of the nation; amplified with special contributions by sympathetic writers in all parts of the world, listening to lectures from returned travellers, and watching the signs of the times, Colored America has knowledge and vision on world conditions. Particular attention is given to the struggles, aspirations and achievements of the darker peoples of the world. Africa, the fatherland of America's Colored population of 15,000,000, has taken front rank in consideration, for the political entanglements and oppression in certain sections as well as the stupendous resources and future possibilities. Africa is no more ridiculed; it is loved. England's darker millions in India, the millions in China, Japan, and South America all afford field for observation and comparison. The opportunity is not being lost; it is embraced. United States. Political conditions in the United States have experienced marvelously radical changes during the past year, so far as Colored America is concerned. An unquestioned ally of the Republican party from the time of enfranchisement, this year's elections in all sections of the country have revealed an unprecedented spirit of independence which has been to the profit of the Democratic Christmas Tree Mr. and Mrs. Geo, Grubbs, of 201 N. 9th St., celebrated Christmas with a big Christmas tree laden with many good things. A number of guests were invited, and all spent an enjoyable evening. ```markdown ``` New Year's Dinner Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Goldsmith celebrated New Year's Day with a big turkey dinner, complimentary to a few friends. Turkey with all the trimmings was served and enjoyed. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, Mr. and Mrs. Spurlock of Globe, Mr. and Mrs. Fuller, Mr. and Mrs. Dean and the host and hostess.

Everybody cordially invited. party in the North, but is not to be construed as being in the least sympathic with the beliefs and methods of the Democrat party of states South. Concentration of hope centered in two measures before Congress, the Liberian Loan, and the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, both of which passed the House of Representatives but failed in the United States Senate. This condition of surrender to Democratic minority tactics has disturbed the poise and dampened the enthusiasm of Colored Republican leadership, while on the other hand it has spurred the masses of the people to resourceful political thinking. At least ten Colored citizens in northern states have been elected to places in state legislatures, one in New York, a Democrat, and the others Republican. President Harding has been unsuccessful in having Colored appointees confirmed by the Senate, except in two instances, and there has been much criticism throughout the group against political compromise and official segregation. Colored political leadership at present is lacking in statemanship that is able to get effective nationwide results, and demonstrates the absolute necessity of having in both the House and the Senate racial representation. Haiti and Santo Domingo, West Indian Island Republics under American domination, have been thoughtfully studied in this country. Study of these republics, aside from the complicating question of right or wrong of United States intervention, along with Cuba, Porto Rico, the Central America and South American republics have seemed to offer unusual economic opportunities for sympathetic action and development. The State Department appointed Captain Napoleon B. Marshall to a position in the American Legation, Port au Prince, Haiti, and there are at present at least half a dozen business ventures organized by Colored Americans for the purpose of promoting commercial trade in the countries to the South, all of which have promising possibilities, and one of which is a line of ocean going steamships. Through exchange in reading and travel Colored America has learned with enthusiasm that the people to the South of this republic are brothers of kind, in numerous instances; that color discrimination is an unpracticed art except wherein introduced by whites of the South, and the achievements in the field of business as well as along other lines promise to produce results that will be both profitable and satisfying. ECONOMIC Industrial Opportunity. Colored America is in the midst of unprecedented industrial opportunity, and this is not excepting the unusual demands of World War times. Prosperity has been restored to the industrial world, and largely because of the stringent immigration laws, labor is greatly in demand. So great has become the openings for Colored labor, that even at this winter period, there is now in progress a new exodus from the South. Observation in the great railroad center leading from the South, discloses in this winter season that thousands are coming North and finding their way into industrial fields. It is opportune and important to state that the present migration augers serious possibilities for the Spring of 1923, when the opportunities, as well as the demands will be greatly increased North as well as South. The migration of 1917 and 1918 created a new consideration of the better class of whites in the South for industrial and educational betterment, but the continued feeling of unsafeness, the unabatement, of lynchings, disfranchisement and various forms of oppression, serve to keep up the desire to move somewhere North, where additional problems are created for the pioneer residents of the northern sections, but in the face of industrial opportunities and thoughts of larger freedom, seem for the present to be beyond control. Unions and Open Shops. A majority of all Colored workers do not belong to any labor union. The increased Colored population of the North has caused the American Federation of Labor to give careful study to the subject, and in its basic law there is supposed to be no discrimination; and yet on the other hand, there are a number of crafts in the North in which it is absolutely impossile for Colored workers to become members. This kind of discriminating has had a tendency to embitter workers against labor unions, and has created wide interest in the plan of the "Open Shop." In fact, the "Open Shop" advocates are the largest employers of Colored workers, and in many instances, the most notable of which course is the United States Steel Corporation, the treatment has been so fair, and the opportunities so encouraging, that the workers have steadfastly refused to come under the banner of unionism. The Industrial Workers of the World have, with their radical propaganda, sought to encourage Colored membership. Their success has been only nominal, but their propaganda continues. The Communists, from their far away headquarters in Russia, have, it is learned on high authority, helped to finance propaganda and movements calculated to embitter Colored workers against the so-called "Capitalistic Class," as well as against the government itself. In the face of cer- tain conditions, they are able to present convincing arguments, but thus far they have had but little effect on the masses. However, the gravity of the situation is recognized, and counter movements and activities have been launched by the more conservative who, through wise council and education hope to bring about a state of affairs based on practical possibilities and sympathetic understanding that will redown for all time to the benefit of the great and increasing army of Colored industrial workers. TRIUMVIRATE OF GREAT Fredrick Douglass. This year marks the dedication of the estate of Fredrick Douglass, anti-slavery agitator, as an eternal shrine to nurture the hopes of Colored America. The occasion was one of national significance, and was attended by thousands from all sections of the country. The care of the estate is under the direction of a group of women headed by Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y., and their ability to free the place from debt, beautify it, and dedicate it to the inspirational benefit of the people, marks a real triumph in racial achievement. Booker T. Washington. A magnificent monument was dedicated to the memory of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee Institute this year. The monument was erected with, funds from Colored America, the funds collected under the direction of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who for twenty-one years co-operated in the development of Tuskegee Institute. The event, which as attended by both groups of Americans from all sections of the country, emphasizes further the growth of appreciation and gratitude within the race. Colonel Charles Young. The death of Colonel Charles Young, of the Unite States Army, a graduate of West Point Academy, called for a national memorial observance on his birthday, March 12, which surpassed in significance and scope, any previous similar event ever held in America within the group. Colonel Young died in Nigeria, West Africa, and the War Department has arranged for the removal of his remains to this country where it will be interred with military honors in the national burying ground of the military dead, in Arlington Cemetery, Virginia, outside of Washington. President Harding, General Perching, Secretary of War Weeks and others paid notable tribute to Colonel Young. The suggestion for the memorial was made by The Associated Negro Press, and was heartily endorsed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other organizations. The memorial will probably be made an annual event. ABRAHAM LINCOLN MEMORIAL The national memorial in Washington as a tribute to the life and deeds of Abraham Lincoln, was dedicated this year. There were only three speakers for the occasion, including President Harding, and Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute. The event was international in scope, and Dr. Moton delivered an address of genuine interest. The occasion was marred by an effort to segregate Colored guests, which was resented by a majority, who left the assemblage in disgust. "What if this bridge should break and the train be dashed into the river?" Quieried a nervous passenger on a train. "Don't worry, madam", replied the conductor, "the Santa Fe railroad has lots more trains."
