OPEN MEETING OF THE KU KLUX KLAN REALM OF ARIZONA HELD AT ODD FELLOWS HALL IN CITY OF PHOENIX The Ku Klux Klan, Realm of Arizona, advertised in the Sunday Republican that they would hold a public meeting at 3:30 p. m., in the stadium at the city hall. Following a conference between the klansmen and Chief of Police Oscar Roberts, the meeting was transferred to the Odd Fellows hall, 3rd avenue and Adams street. The city officials stated that threats had been received which caused them to believe that trouble would follow any attempt of the klansmen to hold an open meeting at the plaza. Odd Fellows hall was filled to overflowing with people of all races and creeds who had come to hear what the klan stood for. The Rev. C. M. Rock, pastor of the Southern Baptist church, Phoenix, called the meeting to order. He opened with a request that "any man in this house that has got a gun on him, either lay that gun up or get out." No one gave up his gun or went out, and so the Rev. Rock continued: "I know some folks have guns. Lay your guns up or get out. There is no Ku Klux in this hall with a gun on him. Any other man with a gun on him—I pause just a little while—you have the privilege of going or laying that gun up. Not that I am scared, afraid of any man's gun in this hall, understand it distinctly, or you either." No one left the hall, and no one removed a gun so far as could be ascertained. Preceeding Rev. Rock's introduction, McCord Harrison, grand kleagle of the Arizona Realm of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, made a short talk. Mr. Harrison read the information that is put on the card that is to be filled out by a prospective member before joining the klan. According to Mr. Harrison, this card states that a member must be a believer in the tenets of the Christian religion, a believer in white supremacy, protection of American womanhood, prevention of the causes which lead to mob violence, that he must a native born American who pledges allegiance to this government and its institutions. At this point, Mr. Harrison introduced the Rev. C. M. Rock, pastor of the Southern Baptist church of this city who made the principal speech. Byway of introduction Rev. Rock said that he was a Klansman and proud of it. He further stated that he was from the south. He said: "I was born and raised in the south." He related a number of stories concerning colored people in the south, repeatedly using the term "Nigger" and sought to justify himself in its use by saying that the southern colored man knew the word "Nigger" was an endearing term used by southern whites. He said that the southern white man was a true friend to the "Nigger" so long as he "staid in his place." Rev. Rock asserted that the Klan was not anti-Catholic, anti-Jew, or anti-Negro. Yet he said the Klan stood for white supremacy and believed only in the tenets of the Christian religion. He stated that some of the leading business and professional men in Phoenix were members of the Klan and that they stood ready to back the authorities in upholding law and order. He said that 1,0000 members could be secured without leaving the telephone or going over long distance. The Rev. Dr. Rock said that his father before him was a Klansman and that he, his son, was following in his footsteps. His father he said was now in glory and he dared any man to speak disparagingly of him. He denied that the Klan resorts to the use of tar and whipping and asserted that the Klan did not even know the price of tar. One American in the hall sought to question Rev. Rock in regard to the Klan appearing in masks, stating that real Americans come out in the open. The majority of those present seemingly favored the klan and Dr. Rock was roundly applauded. 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.

The directors of the school district held that the Black children have a trace of Negro blood, and therefore, are "Colored People" within the meaning of the statute. The Blacks contended that they were of the caucasian race, with a trace of Chero- Phoenix Tribune key 10 Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes kee Indian blood. The Chancery Court dismissed their case on the ground that the same question have been decided by the Circuit court even though the Chancery Court was the proper one in which to bring the suit. The Supreme Court held that it was too late to secure the relief there, after having the same relief denied in an action in another court. The decision on the former appeal was to the effect that there was substantial evidence to sustain the action of the directors in refusing admittance to the children on account of their blood, and that the directors should not be controlled by the court. The present action is not an effort to compel the directors to establish another school, but is one to compel them to receive the children into the school for white children. Mrs. Mary Turner of 802 East Jefferson street has been confined to her home the past week on account of illness. She is reported to be resting easily. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3. 1923 PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL MARRIED TO CAL. PHYSICIAN PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL MARRIED TO CAL. PHYSICIAN One of the most attractive weddings of the season took place Thursday evening, January 25, at the home of Mr. and Mrs Perry Payne, 64 So. 3rd street, when their daughter, Miss Eleanor Payne, became the bride of Dr. Raymond Richard of Berkeley, Cal. Judge Fred C. Bolen, of East Phoenix Precinct, read the marriage service. The home was attractively, decorated with florals and greenery, and the music was especially lovely. Miss Drucilla Polk sang, "I Love You Truly" before the service, and Miss Cora Smith played the piano accompaniment. After the solo, the bride and groom entered to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Miss Drucilla Polk, friend of the bride, who made the trip from her home in Jerome, Ariz., especially for this purpose. The bride was a picture in her bridal gown of imported white Georgette crepe. Her silk veil was caught with a wreath of orange blossoms, and she carried a bride's bouquet of white cravations. She was given in marriage by her father, Mr. Perry Payne, and over 300 invited guests witnessed the ceremony. Miss Dorothy Crump, bride's maid, was becomingly gowned in pink tafeta, fashioned in the latest mode Mr. Thomas Crump served as best man, and was immaculate in conventional black. The color scheme of pink and white was carried out in the decorations and in the refreshments wherever possible. While the marriage service was being read, the couple stood under a beautiful floral arch, from which was suspended a white dove, emblematic of peace and serenity. Flashlight pictures were taken of the wedding party, after which the room was cleared and with Mr. Fred Williams at the piano, many began tripping the light fantastic. Miss Drucilla Polk also favored the guests with a few choice selections. An amusing feature of the evening was the scramble for the bride's bouquet by the young ladies, when it was tossed into the air above their heads. Miss Nokomas Smith succeeded in catching the bridal bouquet and according to an old legend, she will be next to be led to Hymen's altar. Telegrams and long distance telephone calls were received from San Francisco, Los Angeles and other California cities, congratulating the newly weds and bidding them God speed. Mr. and Mrs. Perry Payne, parents of the bride, are among the oldest residents of Phoenix and their friends are legion. The marriage of their daughter was an occasion for the gathering of all the "old-timers," and some 200 or more other guests. The bride is a charming young girl and very popular among members of the younger set in Phoenix. The groom is a popular young medical student of Berkeley, Cal., and a member of one of the most prominent families in California. The newly weds left Friday morning at 4:50, amid a shower of rice, and were accompanied to the train by a large party of friends. After visiting with friends in Los Angeles and other California towns, they will locate in Berkeley, Cal. Presents given the couple filled two large tables, and some very expensive gifts were made. Madam O. G. Howard, a local modiste, had charge of the arrangement of the troussean and floral decorations, and to her no small degree of credit is due. Mesdames Carter and James also assisted in the decorations and in receiving the guests. The concensus of opinion is that this was one of the most elaborate weddings ever held in Phoenix among members of the race. Friends of Mrs. Jessie James will regret to learn that she has been confined to her home, 14 North 11th St. the past week on account of illness. To Kentucky Mrs. H. S. William, s of 1308 East Madison street, left last week for Franklin, Ky., to visit relatives and friends. She will remain for an indefinite stay. IRATE SOUTHERNER MEETS HIS MATCH IN STUBBORN BLACK (Preston News Service) ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 2—Frank Shockly is in jail awaiting the outcome of a gun shot wound he is alleged to have inflicted on W. E. Johnson (southern white cattleman), late last Monday night. According to the story of an eyewitness of the affair, Johnson was seated in his automobile at the corner of Broad and Alabama streets at 11:20 o'clock Monday night, and as Shockly passed by Johnson ordered him to crank the machine. Shockley ignored the demand. This outward sign of indifference on the part of Shockly apparently angered Johnson who said, "You are one of those damn niggers who's been up North and got clear beside yourself. I'll teach you how to treat a Southern gentleman." Johnson jumped from his machining and cursing struck Shockly over the head with a tire pump, saying, "Now take that, you !*** black *!*!!!!!*—using language to, oh well, what he said can't be printed. Shockly stood for a moment just looking at Johnson and then Johnson ordered him to move on, and then rushed at him with the pump again. Shockly drew a pistol and fired at Johnson, the bullet passing through his neck. The shot attracted the police, who arrested Shockly and placed him in jail and Johnson was taken to the Grady hospital. THOMAS DIXON, JR. OPPOSED TO MODERN KU KLUX KLAN. AVERS THOMAS DIXON, JR. OPPOSED TO MODERN KU KLUX KLAN. AVERS (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 2—An attempt to organize a general plan of extermination of the nefarious Ku Klux Klan by combining into one society the various forces opposed to the klan in New York state will be made by the central committee of the American Unity league at public mass meetings to be held in several parts of the state during the next few days, it has been announced. Among the speakers at those meetings will be: P. H. O'Donnell, national chairman of the league; Representative Ben Johnson, of Kentucky; Thomas Dixon, Jr., author of the "Klansman," upon which the photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," was based, and Col. Thomas B. Felder. It is said that Mr. Dixon has expressed himself on several occasions as being extremely sorry that men have taken such un-American, cowardly means of taking the law into their own hands and disgracing the United States by such dispicable acts of lawlessness. VIRGINIA IS HOT ON TRAIL OF NEFARIOUS KU KLUX KLAN. AVERS (Preston News Service) FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Feb. 2—The special grand jury for the purpose of investigating a number of alleged threatening letters said to have been received during the past week by a dozen or more foreigners, warning them to get out by July 1, recessed late Thursday without making a report. A number of witnesses appeared before the jury during its brief session, including several of the merchants who claim to have received threatening letters signed by the klan. No Negroes appeared before the jury, although it is said that several Negroes here have received threatening letters from the Ku Klux Klan. In his charge to the grand jury, Judge J. T. Goodrick ordered a full investigation of the letters and instructed the jury to spare no expense in an effort to bring the author of the letters before the court. No date was fixed for the reconvening of the grand jury. Slightly Indisposed Mrs. W. B. Scott, of 1230 East Adams street, has been slightly indisposed the past week, but is now doing fine.

SHERIFF SAVES JACK JOHNSON FROM PRISON TERM SHERIFF SAVES JACK JOHNSON FROM PRISON TERM (Proston News Service) NEW YORK CITY. Feb. 2—The kind-heartedness of Sheriff Nagle saved Jack Johnson from being lodged behind the jail bars for failure to obey a court order to pay $372.50 to Barney Gerrard, the theatrical booking agent, on an unsatisfactory judgment obtained for breach of contract. Johnson managed to have all the money necessary to satisfy the claim except $122.50, and when he tendered that amount to the sheriff and gave him a long line of smooth talk about being a much persecuted man and made promises to the effect that if allowed his liberty he would soon bring up the balance, the Sheriff allowed him to go free. He told Johnson that he was satisfied that he had done his best to pay off the claim, and that he would put up the balance, but that Johnson must make good the $122.50 real soon, or he would be found living at Ludlo bastile as a compulsory residence for a time satisfactory to the officials.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS NOT TO BE ABOLISHED IN STATE OF ARIZONA ACCORDING TO DECISION OF JUDGES "We have met the enemy and they are ours," said an American general, or words to that effect. All this is merely an introduction to the following article; concerning the big debate, held last Tuesday night at the Zion Methodist church, between Rev. Major Jones and A. R. Smith, editor and publisher of the Phoenix Tribune. The local branch, N.A.A.C.P., put her best foot forward Tuesday night when the debate: "Should Capital Punishment Be Abolished in Arizona," was the headliner. Two old rivals, Major Jones and A. R. Smith, met in mortal combat, with Jones supporting the affirmative and Smith the negative. When the smoke of battle had cleared away and the judges rendered their decision, it was found that Smith had won, hands down, smothering Jones under an avalanche of points. The judges, Mr. G. E. Lytten, Mrs. M. M. Rodgers and Mrs. C. W. Hawkins, paid the Rev. Jones a great compliment for his effort and credited him with having made an eloquent speech. Jones based his argument on the theory that capital punishment was wrong, in that the killing of a human being was never justifiable whether it was done by the state or any of its citizens. He quoted several passages of scriptures to prove his claim and made a profound impression on the audience. Smith confined his argument to Arizona, and proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that it would be unwise to again abolish capital punishment in Arizona. He showed by the records from the attorney general's office how the list of homicides in Arizona had more than doubled when the state experimented with the abolition of capital punishment. He also showed that capital punishment is the only effective method of dealing with first degree of murderers and that it acts as a detrent for crime. He cited instance after instance to prove his claim and produced. an array of evidence that was astounding. His argument was unanswerable and the learned judges were unanimous in proclaiming him the victor in this great debate. The church was filled to capacity with a mixed audience, many prominent members of the Caucasian race being present. Governor Hunt, who had received a special invitation to attend the meeting was unable to attend and was represented by Mrs. Stevens of the state W. C. T. U. After the debate, Mrs. Stevens was asked to make a few remarks, which she did in a few appropriate words. Among other things she said that she was disappointed, in that the decision of the judges was contrary to her personal belief, and she was sure that Governor Hunt was spared further grief in not being present to hear the decision of the judges which also was contrary to his belief. She complimented the race on its achievement and paid a glowing tribute to the work of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A short program preceded the debate. After the invocation by the Rev. M. Thompson, pastor of the C. M. E. church, Mrs. Ruby Jones sang a solo. A ladies' chorus rendered several jubilee selections that were well received. After the judges had retired to render their decision, the president, Prof. C. W. Hawkins, made a short talk, in which he explained the object of the association and made a plea for new members. His talk was interesting, instructive and a gem of rhetorical excellence. It was announced that the next meeting of the association will be held Tuesday night, Feb. 6, when another interesting subject will be discussed. All invited to attend these meetings which are held at the Zion Methodist church, 10th street and Washington. After the meeting last Tuesday evening, a committee of ladies served refreshments. (Preston News Service) TUSKEGEE, Ala., Feb. 2—Speaking before the annual conference of Negro farmers here last Tuesday night. Hon. C. W. Pugsley, assistant secretary of agriculture, declared, "Failure to provide an important place for agriculture in the educational system for the Negro would be doing that race a serious injustice." An increase of 3.16 per cent in the number of Negro farmers in the United States in the last decade as compared with an increase of 1.6 per cent in the number of white farmers should be consistently in mind, Mr. Pugsley said.

The fire was fanned by a high wind and at times threatened to spread over the town. Most of the structures consumed were small ones on the west side of Center street, and the total loss is estimated at from $60,000 to $75,000, of which about one-third was covered by insurance. No one was injured in the flames which gave the fire department a desperate battle. The fire is believed to have had its origin in a tailoring and pressing establishment on Center street. The Red Cross and associated charities are caring for the homeless. seca pues Nek pate ‘ SSS SBAWG ZS - SSS Ss a eae ’ po a ON Geog _ 1 CRIS EAS LEB BA Lk ALA 9 Zee eh fi ey 6 tappines Temas mone nonce Ain, 14000 tomes J] Phoenix, Arizona Published Eve y Saurday by the Tribune Publishing Company Address all Communications to the .

One is good and the other evil. The people we call good are able to keep their evil propen- sities under subjection. Those who are called bad have not the necessary control over their evil genius to keep it) from doing or saying things that are not proper, lawful or wise, and herein lies the difference between the good and had, as they are designated by their friends and enemies. The qualities—-good and bad— are there at all times. Ed- ucation, traiming and association of the right sort will usually bring out the good and hold the evil in subjection to the extent that is presence is little suspected; but there’ may come a time when great misfortunes, keen disap- pointments, great wrongs or some terrible calamity will let loose all the evil nature and smother the good, and if the unfortunate individual has not the strength of char- acter to overcome the evil a life is ruined and the former good respectable citizen becomes a wreck and perhaps a criminal. Sometimes the opposite is the case and the per- son who has lived an evil life is awakened by some great inisfortune, bereavement or the coming of a new light in- to his or her conscience, to overeome the evil and live in accordance with the teachings of Christ, doing good to all, helping all and in every way trying to make satisfactory expiation for the shortcomings of the past. In the case of the good, who have always been good, there is little or no effort to he good. They are good because they have been born of good parents, tenderly and lovingly cared for through all the vicissitudes of youth, taught to avoid ev- ery evil temptation, seek good companions and live in aec- cordance with the tenets of perfect manhood and woman-| hood. In the great majority of such people there is no} tendency to do evil, even when great misfortune comes up on them. They have the strong moral and religous at- tributes that hold the evil genius in subjection, and good- ness surrounds them like a Divine halo radiating love in the midst of sorrow and misfortune. Such people are the bright and shining lights in any community, They have friends who love and respect them and who stand ready to help them in adversity or sympathize with them in their misfortunes and in their sorows. On the other hand the person who allows his evil genius to gain control of his being finds his friends drifting away. He has no one to sympathize with him, no one to help or comfort him, and if his nature is weak he plunges ahead on the down- ward grade into the depths of misery and crime. He is to be pitied. He should be helped; and few there are who realize how a kind word or a helping hand might have saved these unfortunates from taking steps that plunged themselves into deeper misery. Can they be re- covered? Yes. Can the evil genius that is dominating their spirits be subjected and put under permanent con- trol? Yes. But it cannot be done by turning the cold shoulder, subjecting them to shame and neglect or os- tracising them frem society. Confidence must be re- stored. Pride must be restored. Self-confidence must be restored and a way opened for them to come up out of the darkness into the light of a perfect day, to renew their ambition and determination to conquer all evil impulses and live the good life. The majority of the people of this country are professed Christians. Let them follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and there will be less misery in the world.

Feb. 2—Samuel Ware, a prominent undertaker here, under indietment charged with having taken caskets from graves in the Southview cemetery, was placed on trial in the Fulton superior court last Wednesday afternoon, The courtroom was crowded with members of both races listening to the procedure as the case swung under waf. Attorney Thmas Browne, counsel for Ware, created a considerable excitement in the court room when he introduced a special demurrer to the indictment. The court overruled the demurrer. This is claimed to be one of the most unique cases in the annals of Georgia law, and there is no section in the code specifying the type of crime with which Ware is charged. However, there is a provision in the penal code making it a felony to bring about the wanton de- struction of coffins and caskets. It is on this law that Ware is being tried.

The famous Georgia Minstrels, the best of its kind touring the states, was in Prescott Monday, the 22d. It was better than in previous years, with its beautiful singing and wonderful harmony. It was a scream. The sorrow-destroyer gets better with age. One feature about the young men is that they are from some of the most cultured families, and deserve great praise for their wonderful conduct. Mr. and Mrs. Paris Tabron had as their dinner guests the evening of the 22nd the Hines family. After the sumptuous repast, they hurried to the theatre, where the party enjoyed the best box in the theatre, secured by Mrs. Tabron, one of Prescott's most prominent women. This is the first and only box used in this theatre by colored folks. The reporter has been ill and is still indisposed, suffering with her ears; may necessitate an operation. Last Friday evening, January 26, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Rainwater were hosts at a delightful party given at their home in honor of three prominent families of Oklahoma, who were enroute to San Diego, Cal., where they hope to locate. They had two large trucks and two big touring cars, making four machines in the party. They were delayed here for inspection and repair of their machines, which necessitated their camping out. As the people of Yuma do not forget to read their bibles, they remembered of having read where it says, "Beware how you entertain strangers, lest you entertain angels unaware." So, the people of Yuma are glad to meet and entertain such people as these proved to be. They had been on the road three weeks, and this was the first time they had been entertained since leaving home. In the party were Mrs. Espy and daughters, Misses Gertrude and Hattie Espy, their brothers, Messrs. Fred and Otis Espy; Mr. Wilkerson, son and daughters, Misses Sarah Lee and Allie Mae Wilkerson and William Wilkerson; Mr. McKoles and Mr. Cobb. Yuma people invited to meet the strangers were: Mr. and Mrs. Caton, Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Hill, Miss Emma Miller, Miss Versie Moore, Mr. Dan C. Danis and Mr. Sam Hill, Jr. Mr. McKoles' family will come later. Mr. Cobb has no family, and he can cook, sew, wash and iron. He says that all he needs is a good wife to watch him do the work. Now if any of the single ladies who read the Tribune want a good husband of this description, write me and I will put them in touch with Mr. Cobb, the ideal man for a husband. Address your letter to Mr. Cobb, care of Mrs. S. H. Hill. 559 Main street, Yuma, Ariz.

The young people played whist while the older people spent the evening in conversation.

Sickness over the county has been general; La gripe, pneumonia and influenza in mild form. Mr. Logan, a very promising and brilliant young man, came to Prescott several months ago on account of health conditions. On his arrival he was told of Mr. Garner's condition, and consented to take care of Mr. Garner. After Mr. Garner's death, he still remained in the home occupied by Mr. Garner. Mrs. Hughes then rented the house, and he secured apartments with her. He was taken seriously ill several weeks ago with an attack of pneumonia, and the many good friends, as well as the ministers and their wives, constantly attended him. Finally he was moved to the Fort Whipple Hospital, where he passed away. He was sweetly saved and left a glowing testimony of his preparedness. His early passing is regreted, but our loss is heaven's gain. The relatives and dear friends of the deceased have the sympathy of the entire community. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord. The sisters of the deceased were with him at his death. The body was shipped to Phoenix, the native home of the deceased, for interment. Mrs. Alice Larkin was quite ill last week, suffering with Lagripe. She was confined to her bed a part of the time. She is reported very much better and able to be up and about. Mrs. Georgia Staton, who was reported quite ill, having had a back set, is up and feeling better, able to take short walks collecting for the Western Mutual, of which she is the Prescott representative. We hope she will continue to improve and soon recover. Recent news received from Mrs. J. J. Harrington and Mrs. Russel is to the effect that they are improving and getting along beautifully in wonderful California. Their friends here are anxious about them, and delighted to know that they are doing well. Mother Locke, mother of Mrs. J. J. Harrington, has been quite ill, suffering with a severe attack of Lagripe. She spent several days in bed with a severe cold and cough though she is a little better. We hope she will soon have perfect health. Mr. Webb, who killed Mr. Coleman on Granite street, is still in the county bound over without bail to trial. Many attended the preliminary trial. Mr. Webb is a patient at Fort Whipple, while Mr. Coleman was a concrete specialist. No arrangements for the funeral have been made as yet. Mrs. L. A. McCarty is reported very ill; has had several good days, but not feeling very good at times. She has suffered now for several months, but is still very ambitious. The entire community is in sympathy with her, and hope she will be able in time to overcome the disease and have her health. Mrs. Joe Anderson has been quite sick, suffering with Lagrippe, but is improving. Mrs. Tom King and babies left several weeks ago for a lengthy stay in California, but will return during the summer months. Mr. and Mrs. King are some of Prescott's most prominent people, and always take their vacations in beautiful California. The many friends of Mrs. Paul Conner are delighted to know that she is improving, and hope she will continue to improve. Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Jones made a flying trip to Verde, spending a part of Mr. Jones' vacation. Two or three days afterwards they motored to Phoenix in their new Hupmobile, going over the Black Canyon road and returning by way of Wickenburg. They report the roads in good condition each way, and words were not at their command to tell of the hospitality shown by the Phoenix friends. Mr. and Mrs. Gillstrap and others formerly of Prescott, are doing splendidly. Mrs. F. H. Alexander, who has been quite sick, suffering with a cold, is much better. We hope she will continue. Mrs. Woodland, wife of Barber Woodland, had news of the severe illness of her mother, Mrs. Johnson, at Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Woodland left Sunday to be at her bedside. Her friends are sorry to know of her mother's illness and hope she will recover. Mr. Mayes, the popular Fort Whipple patient, had a brother to arrive from his native home in Alabama. Mr. Mayes is wonderfully impressed with the west, and may remain indefinitely. Several years have elapsed since the brothers met and they are glad to be together. Miss Drucilla Polk is a Prescott visitor, having made a trip to Phoenix to attend the wedding of a girl friend who was married last week. 1719 YUMA SOMERTON By Mrs. S. H. Hill THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING FLAGSTAFF Church services were well attended Sunday. Rev. Vanzee, a Missionary from Tuba City, preached a soulstirring sermon to an appreciative audience. Rev. Woods, from Detroit, Mich., who is on his way to Los Angeles, spent Sunday in Flagstaff. He also made some interesting remarks. On the 25th Mrs. S. L. White entertained the Willing Workers Club. An interesting meeting was held, and various topics were discussed, after which a lovely dinner was served. Mrs. P. T. Taylor received the sad news of the death of her step father, Rev. P. R. Camlin, who died January 15. Mr. C. J. Fuller, who is planning to spend a part of his time trapping, did not get to leave Tuesday as he expected, on account of the heavy snow storm. Mr. P. Simmons left for his home in Oklahoma Monday night on business. He expects to be gone about two weeks, and will bring his wife back with him when he returns. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met Tuesday night. The new officers were installed as follows: Rev. Wm. Hail—President. Mr. S. L. White—Vice President. Mrs. Bernice Hodges—Secretary. Mrs. W. L. Horne—Ass't. Sec'y. Miss L. G. Barnett—Treasurer. Mr. W. L. Horne—Chaplain. the party, but did not reach here until six-thirty the next morning. However, the young ladies did not get out of town the next day until Mr. Walter Rainwater had met them. These young ladies are cultured and refined, and several of them have been teaching in the Oklahoma public schools. Mr. Wilkerson, one of the members of this party of tourists, said there would be over 500 families to follow just as soon as they get located. He further stated that the colored people in Oklahoma and other southern states have become so dissatisfied with conditions that they are coming west by the thousands, and going north and east in equally large numbers. It is indeed sad to contemplate what the future of our race will be. If we were only given a chance, we would climb to the heights, but history is merely repeating itself. You will remember, Jacob pulled on his twin brother, Essau's heel when he was born. He also made him sell his birthright to him and stole his blessing. Today, they are doing us the same way. Just about the time we get our homes paid for and are about ready to enjoy the fruits of our labor, something turns up and we have to sell our rights to our brothers or starve. Mrs. John Gordon has been indisposed, but is now well and hearty. Mr. Carl Hardy, one of the leading barbers of Tucson, has accepted a position with Mr. Harry Morris of this city. Mr. Melvin Crisp of Somerton was in Yuma Monday. Mr. Crisp owns two large farms and is considered one of the most successful farmers in this district.
