Eason, on the eve of his departure to testify against Garvey; the failure of the Black Star Line; the failure of the Garvey printing enterprises; Garvey's arrest by the government officials on a charge of using the mails to defraud; Garvey's marital troubles, etc., as well as the general dissatisfaction and unrest his activities have stirred up among the uneducated Negroes throughout the country all contribute to make Garveyism one of the greatest menaces to the Negro race this country has ever experienced. Garveyism is the exact counterpart among Negroes in America of the Ku Klux Klan among white people. It is a serious menace and a dangerous practice for the ultimate future peace of the races. Both of these ill-timed movements are in their essence an appeal to prejudice an unbridled passion, and if permitted to go uncheck will result in a horrifying racial conflict. The Garvey movement inculcates a spirit of race hatred, distrust, violence and revenge. It creates a false impression in the minds of white people as to the real aims and purposes of Negroes who are striving, earnestly, honestly and sanely for the betterment of conditions among Negroes and between the races in this country. Garveyism must be checked at all hazzards because it is an evil propaganda sowing the seeds of bitter racial antagonism and strife. CHURCHES SHOULD SPEND BIG MONEY FOR ADVERTISING (Special to The Tribune) CHICAGO, Feb. 21—Every church should set aside money to be used for newspaper advertising, Rev. J. T. Brabner, of the Committee on Conservation and Advance of the Methodist Episcopal Church, declared in an address here. "The church can send its message in the papers to non-church-goers and to those of its members detained at home because of sickness, business and other causes," he said. "The preacher speaks to hundreds while the newspapers speak to thousands and millions. Church members should assist editors, but criticism of editors and editorial policies of news is harmful. The pulpit and press should pull together and not apart." (In loving memory of Mrs. Nannie Stafford, of Courtland, Miss.) Because of this dear friend who knew and loved my family, and especially my dear son, the late Clarence Lindsey, and in memory of this precious and beautiful friend, wife and mother, and for the benefit of the husband and children, I am having published this letter in The Phoenix Tribune. In January, 1923, she was called on her last long journey from whence no traveler was ever known to return. God called her unto His own. I can recall her in her youth and remember her loveliness. She was like a beautiful flower, sending forth its fragrance everywhere. She was full of truth, courage and tolerance. She never forgot her fellowman when his head was low, and his cheeks were wet with tears. The weary, the broken-hearted—all came to her for comfort. She quickly answered their call of distress and with her beautiful smile and generous heart, gave the warm sunshine of her rich and glorious nature. was like a beau- forth its frag- he was full of tolerance.

You have my deepest and tenderest sympathy. Yours in sorrow, MRS. MATTIE LINDSEY. 1317 East Jefferson St., Phoenix, Ariz. --- VOL. V.—NO. 47. IN MEMORIAM Phoenix, Ariz.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1923 EASTERN FIRM IS ERECTING A LARGE FACTORY IN SOUTH EASTERN FIRM IS ERECTING A LARGE FACTORY IN SOUTH (Preston News Service) GASTONIA, N. C., Feb. 21—A contract for a large addition to the plant of the Jenches Spinning Company, of Pawtucket. R. I., to its plant here, providing for 100,000 more square feet of space, has been awarded, it was learned on Saturday. Work on the addition has been started.

It will employ nearly 3,000 persons. According to officials of the company, plans are on foot for the erection of other plants in the South, as labor and living conditions are much more favorable in the South than in the North. It is planned to use Negro labor largely, it is reported. TUCSON By Mrs. Martha I. Lee, Mr. Percy Watts and Miss C. Cotton The Tom Thumb Wedding given at the A. M. E. Church last Friday evening was a very grand affair, at which many were present. The little bride was charming in the person of Miss Alberta Noble, and the little groom looked very much a man in the person of Mr. Ulysis Kay. A neat sum was realized. The laying of the corner stone of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church on North Tenth Avenue by the West Temple Masonic Lodge, No. 425 of the Texas Jurisdiction, was a very grand affair. The program was as follows: Song by the Choir. Invocation by Rev. Osborne, after which the choir sang another selection. Rev. Cornellous, pastor of the church, who was acting Master of Ceremonies, introduced Rev. H. A. Wells, pastor of the local A. M. E. Church. Rev. Wells' address was most remarkable. Following Rev. Wells, Mr. Roy Brown, atcing as Worshipful Master of the Crafts, was introduced, and he also gave an excellent address. Another selection was rendered by the choir, followed by scripture reading by Prof. C. C. Simmons, and response by the Master of Ceremonies. The total collection for the day was $256.00. After the collection, the Masonic Lodge members, assisted by the beautiful Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star and the Household of Ruth laid the corner stone. The informal party given by Miss Sadie Osborne, of 582 South Main St. in honor of Miss Elvira Kennedy, was a brilliant affair. The home was very beautifully decorated in lavender and green. A delightful dinner was served, after which they entertained themselves in playing different games. A very enjoyable evening was spent. The guests were as follows: Mr. John Osborne, Miss Elvira Kennedy, Mr. B. M. Williams, Miss Charlie Cotton, Mr. James Robertson, Miss Clara Ward, Mr. R. Parlow, Miss Ethel Guess, Mr. Geo. Turner and the hostess, Miss Sadie Osborne. Mr. and Mrs. James Nobles, of 1021 Anita Street, gave an informal dinner Sunday in honor of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. McConnell. Mrs. V. F.

Crawford escaped before the arrival of the police. It is said that the fatal shooting followed an argument between the couple, after their return from a party. The bullet entered the right side of Mrs. Crawford's head, near the ear. Crawford is aged 50 and is said to have been extremely jealous of his young attractive wife. It is believed that the argument arose because of the attentions paid Mrs. Crawford at the party by young men. As yet the police have not been able to locate Crawford, although a state-wide search has been instituted. ELKS ANNUAL SHOW MAKES BIG HIT WITH ALL THEATRE GOERS The Elks' annual show is now going on at the Elks' Theatre, and fun-lovers are getting full value for their money. Every actor is a star, and nothing but new jokes have been put forth thus far. This is the biggest amateur show ever presented in the city of Phoenix, and the stage settings, created by local scenery builders, are no less attractive than the costumes selected and made by one of the leading costumers of the south-west. Music is furnished by the leading artists of the valley, and the wonder minstrel troupe is in a class to itself. If you are unable to get a seat for tonight's performance, don't wait until the last minute to make reservations for tomorrow evening or Friday. Antioch Baptist Church The services at Antioch Baptist church were real lively, and excellent sermons were delivered. Dr. Glilmore has had with him the past week the Rev. P. B. Cornelius of Tucson, who has been conducting a revival. Rev. Cornelius is an able speaker, and all who heard him were well pleased with his discourse. The many friends of Mrs. Caldwell extend a hearty welcome and sincerely hope her visit will be most enjoyable. The entertainment given Tuesday evening by the Mt. Cavalry Baptist Church Missionary Society, was largely attended, and they were very successful in raising a very neat sum. Miss Lila Thompson, of Marlin, Texas, sister of Mrs. P. L. Watson, has been in the city several months and is now growing homesick, but her modest manner of entertaining both company and members of the family has won the friendship of many who sincerely hope she will remain always. Mrs. Emma Joseph, formerly of Tucson, but for the past several months residing in Phoenix, where she died last week, was returned to Tucson the following Sunday night for burial. The funeral services were held Monday at the Mt. Cavalry Baptist church. Mrs. Joseph's funeral was one of the largest of our race ever witnessed in the city. Mr. W. H.

The weekly meeting of the Lost Tribe Club met at the residence of Mr. Lewis Washington, 336 E. 22d St., last Thursday evening. After the transaction of the business part of the program, everyone was served in the spacious dining room of the host, after which various games were indulged in. We must say the Lost Tribe Club is getting along splendidly. It not only helps the church, but brings the people together socially. A very nice time was reported by all. Mr. Washington was assisted in serving by Mrs. Mary Smith, Mrs. Martha Lee and Mr. Roy Brown. AGED WOMAN MEMBER OF ORIGINAL KLAN IS SORRY IT NOW EXISTS AGED WOMAN MEMBER OF ORIGINAL KLAN IS SORRY IT NOW EXISTS (Preston News Service) COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Feb. 21 Mrs. Eliza Fields, a famous confederate spy and the only woman member of the original Ku Klux Klan, helped to bury the order after it had served its supposed purpose in the days of the Civil War, says she regrets that it has again risen from its grave. She said, "I was proud of the Klan for its charitable acts to widows and orphans, because it restored white dominance in the South, and also because Cy Williams, my first sweetheart, was cyclops. But lawless men got control of the organization and when Oliver P. Morton made his investigation I gave testimony against the Klan. I am glad that I helped put it out of business, and I'm sorry it is trying to come back. There is no good it can do now." PRESCOTT Mrs. L. A. McCarty, who has been reported ill for several months, is about the same. Reports the last of last week were that she was very much worse, but she is resting quietly and feels better than last week. Mrs. Maggie Clark Sells was quite sick the first of last week, but is feeling better at the present. She was suffering with Lagrippe, but has practically overcome the illness. Dr. and Madam Hilbert entertained Mr. Ross and Mrs. Larkin with a delightfully prepared dinner Thursday of last week. Several games of whist were played and all had an enjoyable time. Rev. Clark, Presiding Elder of the Arizona and California District, held his quarterly meeting and closed the services Sunday, Feb. 11. A good-sized crowd attended the services, in spite of the snowy weather. The big rally was closed also, with several cards out yet to be reported next Sunday. The collection reported was splendid—$40.48 for the entire day. Mr. and Mrs. Milo Mack of Long Beach, California, are doing nicely. They have purchased a lovely home and are getting along splendidly. We hope them continued success. Rev. and Mrs. Harvey entertained the Hines family Tuesday evening to a wonderfully prepared dinner, and as usual, no trimmings were left off from the spread prepared by them. The guests enjoyed an evening of conversation, in which the main issues of the day were discussed. News received from Mother Ramsey's daughter told of the death of Rev. H. C. Ramsey, a brother of Mother Ramsey's husband. Rev. Ramsey was nearly 90 years of age, was the oldest of several children, and was a minister in the Baptist church for over 50 years. Besides his wife, he left a large family, including a number of great great grandchildren to mourn his going. Rev. Ramsey was loved and known throughout Alabama and other states of the South as a minister of note; he was fatherly in the gospel and lived all of the allotted time. His wife and children, brothers and sisters have the sympathy of the friends of the family. Don't forget, and stay off the date Thursday. The Trustees will give a Valentine social in the Annex of the People's A. M. E. Z. church. Go out and swell the crowd. Thursday, the 22nd, Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Winston will entertain with an enchaladas and chitterling dinner at the Masonic Hall. Gee! That sounds good! Go out and get a feed. Mr. Joshlin, one of Prescott's most progressive business men, passed away Monday. Mr. Johlin was president of the Mine Supply of this city, and was active in many other institutions. He was born in Michigan and lived several years in Chicago, where he held the position of cashier of the Chicago bank, and was connected with other large corporations there. He owned one of the richest mines in Arizona, and was loved by all the Prescott folks as well as in the East. A great asset to Prescott fell asleep. He was a member of the Christian Science church. Mrs. F. H. Alexander has been quite ill but is some better. We hope she will continue to improve. Mr. Leroy Simpson has been on the sick list this week, suffering with a cold and touch of Lagrippe, but is better. Leroy discovered that Quinine and Castor Oil, inevitable and divine healing immediately took hold of him.

No doubt because of his recent denunciation of the Klan, which he called a national menace that must be stamped out, Klansmen are seeking revenge. The Mayor and his wife had scarcely left the city on a trip South when there arrived in his mall at the City Hall a threat to "get" the Curley children—four boys and two girls. Superintendent Crowley of the Police Department immediately ordered a special guard of policemen stationed at the Mayor's home in Jamaica Plain both day and night. Mayor Curley, who is a Roman Catholic, has classed Ku Klux Klanism as "a crime against Christianity, a menace to civilization, and a cold-blooded and deliberate fomentation of hatred and persecution aimed to transform the American Republic into a camorra." NEGROES AS PROHI AIDES HOLD MOB IN CHECK (Preston, News Service) BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 21—Negroes have been added to the prohibition forces in the capacity of guards, according to recent activities in this city to enforce the dry measure.

Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness AIRONA'S LEADING NEWSSTAPER In 10,000 Homer entered as Second-Class Matter June 22, 1918, at the Postoffice at Phoenix Arizona, under Act of March 3, 1879 Advertising Rates on Application All Matter for Publication MUST be in our Office by Wednesday evening, as we go to press on Thursday NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC An erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person, firm, or corporation which may appear in the column of THE TRIBUNE will be gladly corrected upon its being brought to the attention of the publishers Owing to the fact that many of our readers, are interested in the discussion that is going on in the public press because of certain denials of the fundamental tenets of the Christian faith by individuals of prominence here and there it seems only wise that The Tribune should present certain facts that may clarify any confusion that may have arisen in their minds. One very common assertion is to the effect that the Snoptic Gospels, that is to say, St. Matthew, St. Mark and St. Luke, contain no statements that indicate or prove that our Blessed Lord believed Himself to be God. Such writers and speakers virtually reject the authority of the 4th Gospel, that according to St. John, because of its unmistakable teaching concerning Christ's Diety. There are, however, many passages in the Synoptics which are implicitly and explicitly, as strong as those in St. John. Here then are a few of these passages which refute the assertion that Christ has no claim to being divine. "When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples saying, 'Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?' And they said, 'Some say that Thou are John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others, Jeremias or one of the prophets.' He said unto them, 'But whom say ye that I am?' And Simon Peter answered and said, 'Thou are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.' And Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Blessed art thou Simon Bar-Jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee but My Father which is in Heaven.'" St. Matthew 16:13-17. Our Lord here raises the question as to Who and What He is. It involves the assertion that He is the Son of Man. It is a self-chosen name, which Jesus applies to Himself. With only two exceptions (Acts 7:56, and Rev. 14:14) He is the only One in the New Testament who applies this title to Himself. What does it mean? To all who heard Him it was a clear assertion and claim of Messiahship. And the Messianic idea and ideal involves a vast deal more than an esthetic relationship to God. But note St. Peter's reply: "THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD." Not merely one of the great prophets with their human limitations, but one whose personality transcends theirs. Jesus accepts. St. Peter's confession as the true acknowledgement of His divine personality, commends him for it and traces his enlightenment concerning this great mystery of His, Christ's being, to its Source, a direct revelation from the Father in Heaven. Had St. Peter's statement meant merely to sonship by virtue of membership in the old Theocracy there would have been nothing so distinctive about it, as to make it impossible for "flesh and blood" to have drawn this conclusion. Such an obvious inference would not have made a special divine revelation necessary. It was because it involved infinitely more than this that it elicited the significant commendation of the Master and His profound words concerning the establishment of His Incarnation, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail. Space forbids enlargement upon this passage, except to say that its teachings cannot be confined to any mere humanistic view of Christ. It involves stupendous claims and authority upon the part of Jesus of Nazareth which can only be justified upon the assumption that He is Divine. "Son of Man," yes. Very man of very man. "Son of God," yes. Very God of very God. Two whole and perfect natures united in One Divine Person. All of this is involved in our Lord's question and in St. Peter's answer. And this from St. Matthew, one of the three Synoptic Gospels. In His trial before the High-Priest as recorded by St. Mark, occur these significant words: "Again the High Priest asked Him and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of Heaven"—St. Mark 14:61-62. "Ye have heard the blasphemy," replied the high priest, "What think ye?" And they all condemned Him guilty of death. His "blasphemy" consisted in making claims of EQUALITY WITH GOD, in other words, being God. This, of course, is blasphemy if not true. Throughout the Snoptic Gospels Jesus claims authority to forgive sins, to absolve from guilt penitent sinners. This is admittedly a Divine prerogative, which brought Him frequently into conflict with His hearers, who raised this question, "Who can forgive sins but God?" And yet Jesus unhesitatingly claimed this power. The Synoptic Gospels, Sts. Matthew, Mark and Luke, contain passage after passage, in which Jesus, implicitly and explicitly, lays claim to being God. These stupendous claims are verified by the Fourth Gospel, that of St. PAGE FOUR Address all Communications to the PHOENIX TRIBUNE P O Box 1052, Phoenix, Arizona End-Class Matter June 22, 1918, at the Poste Arizona, under Act of March 3, 1879 Office: 1302 East Jefferson Street.

A committee from the council of Christian Churches of Atlanta presented the governor with a legal brief ar- guing that the constitution forbids whipping. Governor Hardwick has often intimated his dislike of whipping convicts. He said that the convicts are handled under rules and regulations prescribed by the prison commis- sion and approved by the governor, “‘Most of the convicts are Negroes and there is no way to enforce discipline and get a lazy Negro to work except by fear of the lash. The Negro is natuarally lazy and wil not work unless made to feel he is constantly in danger of severe bodily punishment,’’ declared a member of the commission. It is said that after hearing the arguments of the prison commissioners against changing the prison rules about whipping, Governor Hardwick was not certain whether h® would initiate a change. Be assured that you will sometimes be wronged; of- ten hated. Unless you have more luck than most men, others will injure you, and despitefully use you. ‘The more successful you are, the more you will suf- fer from dislike and the envy of others, But if you resent every injury and nurse every spite you will have little time for anything else. Revenge may be sweet, but it is too expensive to be indulged. The man who makes up his mind to ‘‘get even’’ with every one who has harmed or insulted him maps out a difficult life for himself. ‘ Hatred is a passion which destroys the judgment as weil as the soul. And judgment is too difficult to acquire to be fritted away in fruitless brawls. Learn to forget injuries and grievances, They will harm you but little if you dismiss them from your mind. If you cherish their memory and brood over them they will harm you even more than the enemy who inflicted them even believed it possible to harm you. Give men no reason to injure you. Then, if they in- sist upon doing so, deprive them of any satisfaction in the injury by not allowing it to trouble you. Peace of mind and serenity of spirit are worth a great deal in this world. Go about with a chip on your shoulder and before very long someone will knock it off. And your attention will be distracted from whatever you are doing by your effort to punish him for it. But when you are wantonly insulted, or when your feelings are hurt remember that the person who offers the affront is not worth hating. Do not flatter him by nursing your wrath against him. hritations disturb the smooth working of your braiit and cut into your sleep. Forget them and you will be happier and better able to attend to your-own job, which is getting all out of your brain that was put there by its Creator, Af LNT M ZN aa [SON e Has! 2 Ns Cow.

Only such compound words as by long usage have be come as one word will be allowed. Webster's Standard International Dictionary will be used as authority should any question arise in the judging. The contest closes April 15, 1923. Immediately thereafter, the decision will be made by the judges, entirely independent, and having no connection whatever with The Tribune Publishing Company, and when all lists have been checked and counted, the prizes will be awarded. Prize winners' names will be published in The Tribune in our issue of May 5, 1923.
