FIRST ANNIVERSARY MAKING SURVEY OF OF B.T.W. HOSPITAL HAITI BY ORDER OF FITTINGLY OBSERVED U.S. GOVERNMENT 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. 42 Friday evening, January 5, the First Anniversary of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Hospital was celebrated with a splendid entertainment at the A. M. E. church. Long before time to begin the exercises, the pacious auditorium was filled with people of both races, who came to pay tribute to the notable achievement of Dr. W. C. Hackett, the first colored physician to successfully pass the board of Medical Examiners and secure license to practice in Arizona. The exercises began promptly at 8:30, and the house was filled to overflowing and standing room was at a premium. Rev. Major Jones presided as master of ceremonies and first introduced the Rev. Wm. Lofton, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, who invoked divine blessing upon the audience. Rev. M. Thompson, pastor of the C. M. E. church, was the first speaker on the progarm, and in a five minute talk, paid a glowing tribute to Dr. W. C. Hackett and his estimable wife for their remarkable achievement in the establishment of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Hospital. Dr. Thompson waxed eloquent and held the audience at rapt attention throughout his discourse. Next number was a cornet solo by Mr. Chas. Fish. This selection was well rendered with the assistance of Mrs. M. A. White, who played the piano accompaniment. Mrs. Kate Conyers convulsed the audience with a humorous recital which was well received. A. R. Smith next addressed the audience, taking for his subject: "Human Achievement." He prefaced his remarks with several anecdotes, then proceeded to extol the virtues of Dr. Hackett by classing him with such men as Franklin, Edison, Columbus, and other "Dreamers" who caught a vision of great things and set about earnestly to make that vision a reality. He said that all great achievements, things which have lifted man to a higher plane of thinking and living, we owe to our "Dreamers." men who had the ability to look far into the future, seeing things that were to come, and who had power to make them realities. Smith spoke fifteen minutes, swaying his audience at will with his matchless eloquence and logic, and the applause was deafening. Mrs. Major Jones sang a beautiful solo that was well received. Miss Nokomas Smith recited one of Longfellow's poems in a pleasing manner. Dr. Bertram R. Cocks, superintendent of St. Luke's Home and Vice President of the Maricopa County Welfare League, made a short talk. He told of the good work being done by Dr. Hackett in the Booker T. Washington Hospital, and urged upon his audience the necessity of supporting such an enterprise whole-heartedly. He also spoke of the work of the Welfare League and explained the manner in which the funds raised by this organization are divided among the various Charity and Benevolent societies in Maricopa County. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hawkins sang a duet that captivated the audience and brought forth thunderous applause. Mrs. C. B. Caldwell, senior teacher in the colored division of the Phoenix Union High School, made a short talk, selecting for her subject: "Building Bridges." She stressed the importance of a firm foundation, showing that after we have passed over, our posterity must follow. She showed how necessary it was for us to lay aside doubt, jealousy, suspicion, envy and hatred, for these materials, she said, would weaken the foundation of any structure - Her remarks were well received and she was roundly applauded. Mrs. M. A. White delighted the audience with a vocal solo, playing her own accompaniment. Dr. Felch, county physician, was introduced, and made a very interesting talk. He told of his pleasant business relations with Dr. Hackett, how he has placed many county patients in the Booker T. Washington Hospital and of his satisfaction with the manner in which they have been and are being cared for by the nurses at this institution. He pledged his support to Dr. Hackett and his enterprise, and urged upon all the necessity of lending their support to such a worthy effort. Mrs. P. F. McCutcheon rendered a beautiful solo that pleased the audience and she received much applause. Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes (T preston News Service.) TUSKEGEE, Ala., Jan., 5—Prof. Wm. T. B. Williams, field secretary of the Jeanes-Slater Foundation, with headquarters here, is making an educational survey of Hayti at the request of the United States government as well as the Haytian government. It is said that the purpose of this survey is based on the idea of establishing in the island an educational system based upon the plan of Tuskegee Institute. It is said that officials in Washington think that by inculcating, into the youth of Hayti the principles and ideals taught at Tuskegee the future of the island will be made more secure. It is believed that Professor Williams is the best qualified man in this country to perform his intricate mission for the government inasmuch as he is a graduate of Hampton Institute and then rounded out his educational preparations at Harvard University. He has been a successful teacher for a numebr of years and is regarded as an authority on educational problems. This step by the U. S. Government is based upon the report of the commission headed by Senator McCormick whose report recommended that this government still occupy the island. MAN, VICTIM OF HOLDUP. (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 12—Henry Walker, aged 25 years, died last Monday in the West Penn Hospital here after he had been taken from a boarding house operated by Mrs. Anna Chandler in Spring Way. After the death of Walker and when his body was taken to the morgue, it was reported that he had been attacked by holdup men and beaten in Penn avenue near the police station on Christmas night. Rev. A. C. Moore, pastor of the A. M. E. church, the principal speaker of the evening, was next introduced. In a few well chosen words, he told of the early struggles of Dr. Hackett when he first came to Phoenix, six years ago; how he had climbed, slowly but surely rendering careful and efficient service until now, when he is emerging into the glorious sunlight of public favor. Rev. Moore spoke 45 minutes and said many good things about Dr. W. C. Hackett, his faithful wife and their splendid achievement, the Booker T. Washington Hospital. Prof. C. W. Hawkins sang a solo that brought down the house and he received vociferous applause. Dr. A. A. McDonald, a new physician who came here recently from Calvert, Texas, was introduced, and made a few brief remarks. He congratulated Dr. Hackett on the notable achievement which he has made in such a short time and told the people that if they would give him one-tenth the support they had given Dr. Hackett, he would be happy. Dr. W. C. Hackett made the closing remarks, during the course of which he thanked all for the many nice things they had said about him and his wife, and said that their words of encouragement had strengthened him, and he was resolved to put forth greater efforts than ever. He told of the contract which he has with the Santa Fe Railway, secured through the assistance of Rev. Betram R. Cocks, of St. Luke's Home. This contract gives the Booker T. Washington Hospital all the Spanish and Colored patients of the Santa Fe Railway, in California, Arizona and New Mexico. Before closing his remarks, the Doctor told the audience if they would remain seated, the committee would serve them with refreshments. The Booker T. Washington Hospital Relief Club had entire charge of the serving of refreshments. Mrs. J. J. Brown was chairman of the committee, and was ably assisted by a number of women and girls. Sandwiches, cake, coffee and ice cream were served the more than 400 people, and after enjoying a social hour, all departed with nothing but the best wishes for the continued success of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Hospital, the Medical Director, Dr. W. C. Hackett, his faithful companion, Mrs. Ayra E. Hackett, and all the nurses and other employees of this institution.

Shands, 28 years old, was sentenced last Friday in Criminal court to die on the scaffold at District of Columbia jail on Friday February 23, 1923. Shands was convicted recently after a trial occupying less than two hours of hacking his wife. Mrs. Catherine Shands, with an ax on August 9, last, at their home in D street. Mrs. Shands died about a month later. When arrested Shands admitted the attack on his wife, and when informed by the police that his wife was still alive, requested permission to go to the hospital and finish the job. He said that he warned his wife several times that if she did not change her conduct he would kill her, but she only laughed at him. AUTOMOBILE KING SAYS RACE HATRED IS UNWARRANTED AUTOMOBILE KING SAYS RACE HATRED IS UNWARRANTED DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 12—(Associated Negro Press)—The name of Henry Ford is undoubtedly household in America. Besides being one of the greatest employers of labor, he is one of the most influential men in the country. Mr. Ford has been mentioned for president much in the last year, and no one can tell what the future may bring. It is known generally that for a long time he had had before congress an offer for the purchase of the great Muscle Shoals porperties. Opposition has sprung up on many sides, but it is hardly to be thought that Henry Ford is a quitter. The attitude of such a powerful factor in the economic life of the nation with reference to Colored Americans is at once a most interesting subject. Recently Mr. Ford set forth his views in the Dearborn Independent, his personal publication, as follows: "There is no need of race hatred in America," says Mr. Ford, "even though there is a race question. A race question is primarily a question for the race that is being complained against. The complainant has no way of settling it else he would not have stopped to complain. The question between the white and colored races in our country is primarily a question for the Negro, too, in so far as he ought to identify the enemy of both colored man and the white man, the common enemy that is trying to stir hatred between them. Destiny has placed these two races together. Our modern industrialism, changed, will provide means to remove to motives or public service every injustice that gives soil for prejudice. "There is something to say to the white man, too. The race that calls itself superior can only prove its superiority by superior ability to help others, and can only retain its racial destiny as helper of the others. The Negro is a human being, capable of integrity, loyalty and domestic peace and prosperity and as a human being, he is entitled to opportunities to develop and exhibit those qualities and to enjoy his natural human rights. Where the Negro has been given opportunity, he has proved a community asset, his labor and his contribution to the development of the country are capable of being increased. Race correction by education is always the superior way, and not coercion. The Negro should be given a chance, and should be regarded with full humanity and treated with entire justice. "To both may be repeated what was said above, that both are here by an apparently purposeful destiny, and the thing to do is to identify and nullify the common enemies of both and tackle the question upon the principle basis offered this generation, namely, the industrial basis. "When there are enough jobs to go around in this country; when every man shall have opportunity to go forth in the morning to perform the work he is best fitted to do, and to receive a wage which means to secure family life, there will be no race question. The Negro question is largely one of unemployment and of inexperiences in handling the rewards of labor. The Negro needs a job; he needs a sense of industrially 'belonging.' and thus it ought to be the desire of our industrial engineers to supply." The Booker T. Washington Memorial Hospital was one year old the fifth day of January, 1923. Since the opening of the institution it has had patients of different classes, namely: Private, Ward, County, Charity and Santa Fe. This institution had a total of ninety-one patients during the past year; twenty-six operations and twelve births. This is not only an encouragement to the Medical Director, Dr. W. C. Hackett, but to his co-workers as well, and makes them more determined at the beginning of the new year. We go to friends for sympathy, and to our books for comfort and counsel, but the time is coming when no friend, no book can decide your problem for you; when nothing can help you, nothing can save you but yourself. The time has come when our race should stand alone. HARD ON KU KLUX HARRISON, N. J., Jan. 5.—Instructions to arrest anyone appearing in the city wearing the regalia of the Ku Klux Klan, and orders to have the sanity of all such persons determined by physicians, were posted last Wednesday by Chief of Police Walsh. The orders, adopted by the Common Council, also include the unmasking of hooded individuals and ten days' imprisonment. MASKED BANDITS ROB BISHOP B. F. LEE IN HIS HOME (Preston News Service) WILBERFORCE, O., Jan. 12—Two heavily masked bandits entered the home of Bishop B. F. Lee, senior bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church, last Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, and after covering Bishop Lee, his wife and daughter with guns, robbed them of a considerable amount of money and escaped. It is said the burglars boldly entered the front door of the house while the bishop and his family were resting after dinner, and while one of the men guarded Bishop Lee, another went through his clothes. They also picked up a purse containing $50.00 belonging to Miss Lee, and another containing a small amount of money belonging to Mrs. Lee. They pocketed the money and left the house. On account of poor telephone connections Bishop Lee was unable to report the matter to the Xenia police, and no report was made of the matter until late Tuesday afternoon. Wilberforce is about three and one-half miles from Xenia. The police say the Lee's were unable to give any description of the burglars, who were heavily masked, and could not tell whether they were white or colored men. KU KLUX KLAN NOT WANTED IN PARIS, PAPERS SAY (Preston News Service) PARIS, France, Jan. 12—The nefarious American Ku Klux Klan is not wanted in France and will have a difficult time gaining a foothold in this country, according to Paris newspapers. It is said these vigorous denunciations of the klan in the papers came as a result of a report that the "Imperial Giant" Edward Young Clarke plans to place the organization all over the world, and that he will soon open headquarters in London. "The American Ku Klux Klan will not find any welcome in continental Europe," said the Echo de Paris, "It is an organization of such character as is not wanted on this side of the Atlantic," said another paper, "It is a detestable sect of crazy puritans," said L'Intranseigant. "They are responsible for assassinations, burnings and destruction of churches filled with religious treasures. It is a mysterious society, working in the dark, committing crimes for which the perpetrators are never punished." "Newspapers from the United States of late have been filled with dispatches detailing the horrifying activities of the Ku Klux Klan, which cannot help but make real Americans bow their heads in shame to know that such a wanton set of men have banded themselves together in their country for the purpose of secretly breaking law," said another writer. Visitor from California Mrs. S. P. Rochon, who the past year has been a resident of California, spent the holidays in Phoenix visiting her husband, who resides at 1110 So. 4th avenue with Mrs. Rochon's sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. C.

ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SURVEYS RACE CONDITIONS (Continued from last issue) There is a generally accepted opinion that the voice of Colored America been divided for several years, and it today, as of white America, is most is expected that 1923 will see import- audible through their press. Never ant results in this respect. There is a generally accepted opinion that the voice of Colored America today, as of white America, is most audible through their press. Never before have the newspapers held such commanding position, nor have they ever before had such a high standard of news and opinion as well as circulation and commercial business. There are two publications recently from the press, both written by white authors, that deal with the growth and power of the press for Colored America. One, the "Voice of the Negro", by Prof. Robert T. Kerlin; the other "The Negro Press in the United States." by Fredrick G. Detweiler. Added to these important productions, as a vital treatise on race adjustment in America must be "The Negro in Chicago," a publication of 900 pages dealing with the problems in the frankest form, and impartially; the study covering a period of two years. Magazines of national circulation have this year given unusual consideration to stories ad articles dealing with Colored America. A number of the fiction stories have been reduced to book form, and are having a wide circulation. Daily newspapers in all sections of the country have been more liberal in their placing the better side of Colored America, before the reading public. A number of the metropolitan dailies have Colored writers on their staff, probably the most important instance being Lester Walton, an experienced journalist, who is a staff writer on the New York World. Denominational divisions continue, but are growing more and more cordial each year. All of the great denominations accept the belief that, after all, "In unity there is strength." The common enemy of prejudice and the altogether too obvious slant of white American Christianity that falls down at the Color Line, places a task upon religious leaders as well as affords a militant opportunity for co-operation along helpful lines. The Federated Churches of Christ in America, while always working in the interest of general advancement, have seen the importance of more officially recognizing the problem, and Dr. George E. Haynes, of New York, has been made an executive in that big field. It is most encouraging to note the renewed interest in education for Colored America being taken by all the great religious divisions, including the Catholics. The Methodist Episcopal church heads the list in the amount appropriated and expended, the same being between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. The African Methodist Episcopal church has been enthusiastic in the erection of a new Shorter Hall, at Wilberforce, Ohio, to take the place of the original building destroyed by fire. The building when completed with all equipment will cost more than $300,000, and demonstrates that Colored America has more than arrived at the awakening to the value of education. The Episcopals, Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists and Caholics are all devoting thousands of dollars and developing remarkably efficient leadership of a high order of intelligence and spirituality for the betterment and progress of Colored America. The young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association have shown splendid growth for 1922, and the national leadership of these organizations, centered in New York, is deserving of unstinted praise and co-operation. The death of Dr. E. C. Morris, of Little Rock, Ark., for more than twenty-five years President of the National Baptist Convention, produced a vacancy that stirred Baptists from one end of the country to the other. The Los Angeles session of the convention being cancelled because of the railroad strike in the summer; a session was called during November in St. Louis, Mo., where a number of the most able men of the denomination were presented for consideration. After due deliberation, Dr. Lacey Kirk Williams, of Chicago, pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church, with a membership of 10,000 was chosen President. This automatically removes the head of the church to Chicago, where Dr. Williams will remain as pastor of his present church. The convention voted unanimously to RELIGIOUS. 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 leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress.—Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year Colored America is religious at heart, but not as much in fact as in the days of the forefathers. There are two reasons, principally, advanced for this, first, the ministry has not kept up in intelligent progress with the needs of the people; second, there are so many evidences of American religious hypocrycity that many people remain away from denominational influences and worship within their homes. Nevertheless, there never was a time when the history of the race showed the churches were more prosperous, or achieved better results. Colored America is adding work to faith, and it is producing astounding results. The Better White South, where the masses of Colored America live, is taking a lively interest at present in education. School buildings are being enlarged and rebuiltbed; terms are being lengthened and teachers are being paid better wages. It is progress; but it is not enough. It is still the theory in most places of the South that Colored America should only have a circumscribed education; that high schools and colleges, regardless of taxation requirements, are only for white youths. Gradually the convincing justice of an educated citizenry regardless of color, is dawning upon the South, and there are outspoken advocates for larger opportunities who are listened to with respect, and the blantant mouthings of destructionists are falling on deaf ears. The colleges and universities conducted by and for Colored America are all crowded beyond capacity. There is a thirst for knowledge that both gratifies and amazes. The situation is remarkable in the face of the everyday fight for recognition in the world's work, but on goes the battle with books, and each year sees an increased number of graduates from all the schools. Northern college and universities, where students daily are admitted solely on merit, continue to have large quotas of students from the group. Harvard college, where for many years the outstanding principle has been educational equality, has had recent flurries of seemingly changed conditions, but it is proclaimed by those with authority to know, that at heart. Harvard maintains its illustrious traditions. Howard University, in the District of Columbia, and Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, have recently been admitted into the select circle of American schools of higher learning, where graduates from these institutions have the same standing for post graduate work as those coming from any other American colleges. This is notable educational advancement. COMMERCIAL PROGRESS AND BUSINESS Colored America has taken to the field of business with a relish that brings inspiration and cheer. Banking, Insurance, Manufacturing, Real Estate, General Merchandizing, and indeed, contact with Wall Street itself, are among the present achievements of Colored America—facing and overcoming the depressing obstacles of 1922—that bids fair to turn upside-down the theories that in the promotion of commercial enterprises the race has woeful limitations. Present achievements in these important fields prove to the world that the limitations have been the result of studied handicaps. Colored America has been held back from the opportunity of getting commercial knowledge and contacts. But the opportunities and needs have become so great within the race itself, that through the force of circumstances alone, these lines have been developed to a most surprising extent in the last year. With all the results to date, the fields are yet virgin soil; they have been barely tapped, so to speak. Confidence, more general cooperation, vision and hard work will produce results in the future that will be most gratifying. Aside from the standard professions, the commercial field is making the big openings for the college-bred man and woman.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING After the regular weekly meeting of the recently organized boy scouts, they visited the A.M.E. church, where the anniversary entertainment of the Booker T. Washington Memorial hospital was being held, and under the command of Benton James, Jr. thrilled the audience with several husky yells. These youngsters are taking to the boy scout movement like a duck takes to the water. Mrs. J. J. Brown, chairman of the committee on refreshments, which had charge of the serving at the anniversary entertainment of the Booker T. Washington Memorial hospital, wishes to thank all members of the committee who assisted her and also those who were unable to assist in person but were in accord with the affair. Especially does she wish to thank Mrs. Chas. Fish, Mrs. Callie Brown and Mrs. E. E. Potts, who came to her home and worked all afternoon preparing the refreshments. Friday evening, Jan. 5, Mrs. R. C. Howard of 38 N. 11th street, was hostess at a delightful dinner party given in honor of her husband, Sgt. R. C. Howard, of the U. S. 10th Cav., who was here spending the holidays with his family. The dining room was decorated in holiday colors, and a big twenty-pound turkey graced the table. Little baskets of candy were placed at the plate of each guest and retained by them as souvenirs. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Bradley and sister, Mr. Wm. Williams, Mr. C. A. Adams, Mr. J. A. Rice, Mr. Sam Williams, Mrs. Corene Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Kinch, Mrs. Taylor of Fort Huachuca, Ariz.; Mr. Miller of Tyler, Texas, Sgt. and Mrs. R. C. Howard and little Julia Howard. As a fitting climax to the sumptuous repast, Sgt. Howard cut his Christmas finger. He left Saturday morning for Fort Huachuca to join his Company. While here, Sgt. Howard and wife were royally entertained by friends, many social functions being given in their honor. He stated that he was favorably impressed with Phoenix and expects to make this his home when he is retired from the army. $500 REWARD The above reward will be paid to any person who can prove that we ever failed to pay a legitimate claim against our company for disability caused by sickness or accident.

In the commercial field, there are contending forces debating the wisdom of using all Colored American capital, all white capital, or a combination of each. There are achievements in each way that are abiding and successful. Pride, sentiment, and even hate enter into the equation, but in the last analysis what Colored America needs and should desire most are RESULTS—being guided by experience, efficiency and common sense in keeping the standards both high and just. AMUSEMENTS In the field of amusements and popular entertainment, Colored America has had a banner year. Not only has there been a great wave of popular approval from the public and press, but more than ever before, there has been financial success. "Shuffle Along," a musical comedy, with Miller and Lyles, Sissle and Blake as the stars, and Lottie Gee as the feminine star, played for a year and a quarter on Broadway, New York, following with several months in Boston, and going strong at present indefinitely in Chicago. They have aroused the theatre public to a clean and clear-cut vision of talent, Colored American feminine beauty and charm, and clear mirth-making. "Strut, Miss Lizzie," with Creamer and Layton as stars, had successful runs in New York and Chicago, while "Liza," a new effort at the Dayly Theatre, New York, with Miller and Anthony, as the chief fun administers, is receiving splendid recognition. Charles Gilpin, noted actor with "The Emperor Jones," continues, en tour, to bring great credit to the drama, and incidentally to the race. Both theatrical and moving picture producers, who have, by the way, the minimum of personal prejudice but who are somewhat guided in their considerations by popular whims, in America, are reaching the point where they are really "stepping out" in considering the talent of Colored America. They have a world of resources to draw from, and are delighted with the eagerness and spirit with which the performers are devoted to their work. High ideals, clean living and hard work hold great promise in the amusement field for Colored America. Phonographic Reproduction has offered another new field for Colored America. It is no guess to state that much of the development in this field has been due to the marvelous success of the Pace Phonograph Company of New York, headed by Harry H. Pace, a business executive of enviable ability. Pace paved the way with such rapidity and zeal, that old line concerns that formerly refused to give Colored America a "look in" are now scrambling for talent, and pushing their wares with surprising forcefulness. In the musical and concert field, Colored America continues to more than hold; there is splendid forging ahead. In many of the metropolitan cities, Colored America orchestras furnish the finest music. Concert singers are being presented with elaborate acclaim among the people of both races in all sections of the country. The Howard Players, of Howard University, Washington, D.C., are successfully affording a serious opportunity to advance in the drama, under the direction of Prof. Gregory. J. A. Jackson, of the editorial staff of the Billboard, and The Associated Negro Press, has a most complete review of amusement progress in the Christmas number of the Billboard. Madam E. Azalia Hackley, of Detroit, and Philadelphia, who has been called to her reward as this survey is being prepared, will go down in history as foremost in preserving "Negro Spirituals," and producing inspirational pageants showing the progress of Colored America. A woman of rare ability as a vocalist and pianist, as well as teacher, Madam Hackley devoted her life to developing race pride in musical resources and possibilities. Bert Williams, who reached a unique place in the history of American entertainment, whose death was recorded last year, will long be remembered for his quaint humor and ability to "Trouble trouble when trouble troubles you." Fairs, produced by corporations controlled by Colored America in many sections of the South, in which the progress along agricultural and industrial lines is well-shown, have reached a new standard. Practically all of them are good money makers, afford recreation, and are of educational value to both groups. SPORTS In the field of Sports Colored America has always been an important factor, when given opportunity; when denied opportunity, they have made it for themselves. The year's efforts demonstrate that the belief prevails that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." All of the various sports have had a good hearing. Beginning with baseball, and covering all the various lines down to tennis, golf, and croquet, and certainly including football, basket ball, prize fighting, and the "Sport of Kings," Colored America has taken part and observed. Bessie Coleman, of Chicago, returned to the states from Europe, where she perfected and gained commendable recognition as an aviatrix. The National Negro Baseball League, of which Andrew Rube Foster of Chicago is the organizer and President, closed a penant winning year, and has completed a program for 1923. Colored America in reaching the recreational stage of life, is promoting and developing summer and winter resorts; Idlewild in Michigan, and a splendid Country Club in New Jersey, near Newark, where Golf links are available; Arundel, on Chesapeake Bay, and Buckroe Beach, in Virginia, are among the notable places of recreation and rest. The most famous football game of the year for Colored America is the "Football Classic of the Year" between Howard and Lincoln Universities, alternating between Philadelphia and Washington. Last year in Washington, where the game was played in American League Park, more than 25,000 people from all parts of the country, representing the highest standard of Colored America progress and success, witnessed the event. Social activities before and after the game furnished a damaging rebuke to the mouthings of demagogs that Colored America is clamoring for "Social Equality"—in the sense of social intimacy without invitation, and demonstrated with refreshing pleasure the high social development contrary notwithstanding. Urban Influences. It must be noted that the activities of Colored America are influenced by initiative and results from a number of communities throughout the country. While the chief influencing centers upon the group as a whole are in large cities, speaking nationally, however, smaller centers have demonstrated their ability to focus attention on their achievements, and from them emenates wide reaching activities that produce lasting results and helpfulness. Nationwide attention in the first instance is constantly focused on Chicago, New York, and Washington, in the order named. Chicago is noted for its economic enterprise and civic freedom; New York for its metropolitan contacts, and Washington for its closeness to the seat of government. Then follow Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore in the East; Richmond, Va.; Norfolk Va.; Durham, N. C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Savannah, Ga.; Atlanta, Ga.; Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Nashville, Tenn.; New Orleans, La.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Cleveland, Ohio.; Detroit, Milcigan; St. Louis, Mo.; Little Rock, Ark.; Louisville, Ky.; Kansas City, Mo.; Tulsa, Okla.; Muskogee, Okla.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Portland, Ore.; Seattle, Wash.; Dallas, Tex.; Houston, Tex.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Memphis, Tenn.; Denver, Colo., and many other cities, not named here, of course in the order of the importance of influence, but each, in a major way contributing help and significant efforts towards the advancement of Colored America. CIVIC Organization is the new Watchword of Colored America. Organization has always been an important factor in the life of the people, but it is becoming more and more practical, efficient, and systematic; it is working with vision and understanding. Organization is a master enemy of prejudice, and forges its way to just recognition. Various bodies that have for a number of years left their impress on the life of the people, continue to serve their needs and afford inspiration to guide their way. These organizations, civic, professional, fraternal, cooperative and national, are working more and more in harmony with the fundamental faith that actuates all efforts—OPPORTUNITY AND JUSTICE FOR COLORED AMERICA. The opportunities desired are not circumscribed, as some would impress, the opportunities desired are merely the inborn impulses of humanity, the eternal aspirations of the soul. Encouraged by Justice, they contribute nobly to the sum total of human welfare and happiness. They look to the achievement, and not to the class; Colored America trembles with regret when American color prejudice denies the right and privilege to rise; reflecting upon their loyalty to the patriotic appeals of America from the beginning of the republic, they are stung to the quick—but not dismayed—by the studied insults and obstacles of hatred placed in the pathway of Progress and Success. But on they go achieving and achieving, getting a stronger hold year by year; among them are: The National Negro Business League The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The National Urban League. The National Medical Association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING makes curious Be- ering ennis, in- prize sings," and The Young Men's Christian Association. The Young Women's Christian Association. The Secret Order Fraternities. The Greek Letter College Fraternities and Sororitis. The Religious Societies. A Central Executive Council of all of these various divisions of advanced effort has been proposed. Such a culmination of plans is in embryo. By laying aside petty jealousies of envied leadership, and eliminating the spirit of selfishness for the benefit of the good of the whole people, a combined program of Colored America advancement under the intelligent direction of a Central Executive Council, will be the greatest constructive step possible. With the willing co-operation of the newspapers, it will afford a most tremendous impetus to human progress; it will knock down the Bars of Prejudice and open wide the Doors of Opportunity; it will be the universal radio of delicate comprehension and understanding; stay the hand of unwarranted radicalism that now approaches a dangerous stage, and command the respect and consideration of patriotic White America to whom, in the last analysis, Colored America must turn for the realization of the "substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen." FINALLY Colored America Faces the Future, Demanding a Place in the Sun. The achievements of the past are but a foretaste of the glories that are to come. There are those in places of power today in the national life of America who are standing on dead men's bones. They flaunt their destructive views and scatter their seeds of dissension with wavering hands and cynical smiles; they create a discord of tyranny in the symphony of human happiness, but their day of elimination is fast approaching; the black sun of their follied hate is doomed to early setting. Colored America faces the future; covering the face with shame upon the deeds of injustice and inhumanity; pointing with pride to the achievements for the good of all, in the sorry midst of handicaps and unwarranted oppression. The year of 1922 goes down in history as one of achievement extraordinary for Colored America; the record is made, and the die is cast—even God cannot change the past. To Colored America everywhere The Associated Negro Press extends greetings and urges Faith, but with it Work, tireless, unceasing, victorious Work: "Labor Conquers All Things,"—and Has Its Own Rewards: Revival To Begin The Rev. A. C. Moore, pastor of Tanner Chapel A. M. E. church, plans to start a great revival at this church. He will be assisted by several of the local pastors and they intend to make this one of the greatest revivals ever held in Phoenix. The revival will begin with the prayer meeting services, Wednesday night, Jan. 17, and the Sunday following, will witness the launching of the great campaign. Everybody cordially invited; both saint and sinner. OUTLOOK FOR 1922 BRIGHT Plough Chemical Company's Salesmen From All Parts of the United States Optimistic MEMPHIS, Tenn.—"Hello, 1923! If you are as kind to the Plough Chemical Company as old 1922 everyone will be. This was the sentiment of the fifty-two salesmen attending the Fifth Annual Salesmen's Association of the Plough Chemical Company of Philadelphia, Tenn. For 1922 was have ever enjoyed. in many respects the greatest year these men great year for business for the Plough Chemical Company, and double of those of 1921 and this despite the general feeling of pessimism that prevailed in most lines at the beginning of the year, the troubled days of railroad and min- eral and recent fears that bill weil would consume the cotton crop before it was picked. And the same men who went out in the face of these unfavorable conditions deter- mented the work of the Plough Chemical work, backed up by a line of well-advertised goods that they knew were the best ever and are going out this year determined to double those of 1922 in 1923. These salesmen are working on the greatest growth and are in touch with conditions and all agree that they can do it. Some of the older sales- men who have seen and helped the unprecedented growth of this organization, are even greater developments in 1923 than ever before. The Plough Chemical Company is now shipping their Black and White Tea Regulates and St. Joseph's Household Remedies to all world and have over 40,000 dealers handling their goods in the United States alone. In their addresses to the men at the meeting Abe Plough, President; E. A. McColough, Sales Manager and F. L.
