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. VI.—NO. 6 JUNE 19TH—WHAT IT MEANS TO COLORED PEOPLE IN Following is an address prepared by Mr. Curley E. Eabanka, custodian of the new court house annex of Maricopa County at Phoenix, which he planned to deliver at the Emancipation celebration held in this city June 19th at East Lake park. Circumstances over which he had no control prevented him from appearing on the program and we have been asked to publish his address in full. The address follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen; Fifty-seven years ago by the proclamation of that immortal statesman that great leader of men, that man who graced the halls of our national legislature, who in the moment of the country's need, when it seemed that the very life of the nation was at stake rose as it were from the humble rail-splitter to the highest position within the gift of our people and by his Proclamation, 57 years ago today, the black man was freed. Fifty-seven years ago today was a day of great rejoicing throughout the nation, for victory was won and the long struggle was over. For years the people had been torn over the great question of slavery, and today the question is forever settld in this country. Now just 57 yars later, we think back and imagine we can hear the sounds of rejoicing as they peal upward from thousands of lusty throats; but yet I think that with all the feeling of joy that was manifest on that morning, there ran a kindred feeling of sorrow along with it. Ah! yes, we have been told that the condition of the slaves was one that was deplorable. That the suffering they were compelled to undergo was of such a nature till we have held up our hands in righteous indignation; but I wonder if we have been told the whol₀ truth in the matter? I wonder if in studying the history of this case we have not been partial to one side of the case to such an extent that we have not been able to view the other side with impartiality. Turn with me for a moment to the scene of an old southern plantation. Ah! I see the old plantation mansion, and there to the west of the mansion I see the long rows of Negro shanties. The hour is just after sundown. Hark! I hear the strings of a banjo, and softly on the evening breeze float those old southern melodies. Listen to the words of the song: "Down in the corn field hear that mournful sound. "All them Darkles am a weeping cause Masas in the cold, cold ground." Why, can it be true that after all we have been told of the misery of those $_{\mathrm{e}}$ poor unfortunates, that they are singing these songs as a tribute to those whom we are constrained to save them from? Ah! Listen to that other plaintive $_{\mathrm{e}}$ chord: "Cause He was so good and kind." Ah what a constrast to the history that we have been taught. And think you not that there was a feeling of sorrow mingled with that feeling of joy? Think you not that there were many old Negroes who knew that when they were taken from the protecting arm of "Old Massa" that then they would be compelled to battle against the adverse elements of the $_{\mathrm{e}}$ world and wrest from them as best they could their daily bread—that in that moment he was being placed in greater slavery than he had ever known before? Ah! yes, the history of the next few years has shown that while to some Emancipation was freedom, to others it meant a greater burden. It meant the release from bondage to one who had their every interest at heart, and we today would not for a moment turn the time backward, yet we can not help but feel that what brought such great joy to some on that morning, 57 years ago, brought at the same time sorrow to the hearts of others that had never known what sorrow was before. Editor's Note: The ariacle is all the more remarkable when we take into consideration the fact that the author is an ex-slave. INFANTRY SETS RECORD Douglas, Ariz., June 28.—For the first time in the history of the United States an entire battalion qualified 100 per cent today on the rifle ranges.

The commander of the 25th Infantry is Colonel A. M. McNab. Bathe twice a week. Avoid heavy clothing, which retards evaporation. A moderate exposure of the skin to the sun's rays is beneficial.

C., June 30.—Governor McLeod's proclamation naming the 10th of June "A day of humiliation and prayer," did not get a very hearty welcome among the colored people if what an old colored woman resident of this city says is any indication of the general feeling toward the proclamation. Aunt Rosa Johnson was heard to say, when told of the Governor's action: "I done pray and hermiliate myself all mah life. I'm tiahed and, besides, I'm too busy to worry mah hald erbout hermiliation mah self in dese days and times. Us cullud folk pray too much enyhow. I wants mah boy, Jim, ter git rich.

The closing of the drive was marked by a special program at the C. M. E. church and Bishop C. H. Pillips was the principal speaker. Short talks were made by Rev. Major Jones and Prof. C. W. Hawkins. Mrs. Silvers sang a solo and Miss Sadie Walton recited. We also were favored with a baritone solo by Prof. Hawkins. The two contesting generals were Mrs. J. A. Green and Mrs. O. G. Howard. Mrs. Green reported the most money and was awarded the first prize—a crisp $10 note. Both were given a rising vote of thanks by the association. The drive was a success and the ladies deserve much credit for their noble work.

Delivering The Goods Brother Richard Rosser, the vegetable man is still delivering the goods. Nice fresh fruit and vegetables fit for a king delivered right to your door. It never gets too hot for Brother Rosser and he is as reliable as the Tax Collector. When you think of fresh vegetables, think of Brother Rosser. He delivers the goods. "UNCLE TOM" NEGRO STRIKES OIL; MUST GO TO SEE HIS "WHITE FOLKS" And Straightway John Merriweather Plans to Pay Homage to Family of Former Owners Austin, Texas, June 30.—With the discovery of oil on the farm of John Merriweather here, has sprung the ambition, not to do something for his sorely oppressed race, but to get enough money as soon as possible from his oil wells—which have just been sunk—to be able to pay a visit of homage and adoration to the white Merriweather in Tennessee. "Uncle" John, as this old type of Negro is called, was born in slavery and when he gained his freedom he came to Texas and located on the fifty-six acre farm which he now owns. During his bitter struggle for existence his former "owners" who has profited by the sweat of his body and the blood of his suffering, gave no thought or help to "Uncle" John. But with his accession to wealth, "Uncle" John just feels that he must "go see the family that formerly owned him." When this old servile dies he will no doubt make his will in favor of the white Merriweather. "Uncle" John is said to have a wider acquaintance with the public men of Texas than any other man, having served for thirty years as chief porter of the state senate. An Oklahoma City Negro recently explained to the police judge that his family doctor had prescribed a "chocbath" for his wife. The remarkable prescription was disclosed when the prisoner was, brought into court charged with having a large tub of "choc beer" secreted in his stable. Just whether the defendant's wife was taking her bath in the stable whenever she needed it was not brought to the attention of the court. Another Boy Arrives According to word received from Bakersfield Cal., Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ford are the proud parents of a ten pound boy who arrived at that home recently. Mr. and Mrs. Ford are former residents of Phoenix and congratulations are in order. This is the second boy to visit the Ford home. Home From Coast Mr. E. S. P. Dawson of 1002 East Filmore street returned last week from San Francisco. Cal., whither he had been called on account of the death of his father. Leaving For Missouri Mr. and Mrs. Webster Davis of 1442 East Monroe street, together, with their little son, will leave Sunday, for Kansas City. Mo., for a month's visit with relatives. To Los Angeles Mr. and Mrs. Ina Gllstrap, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. McKenney and daughter Ruth, will leave Monday in their reliable touring car for Los Angeles and the beaches. The McKenneys plan to reside in California, but the Gllstraps will return in October.

Kendricks of 802 East Washington street, has purchased a big Chandler touring car and is now riding in style. Her son Robert L. Fambrough, is an experienced driver and they may be $ \mathrm{b_{e}} $ seen any evening gliding over the smooth streets of Phoenix. An Omission In publishing the graduation program for the Colored Division of the Phoenix Union High school, Miss Cora Smith's name $ ^{n} $ as valedictorian of the class of 1923 was inadvertently omitted. Miss Smith worked hard for this honor and the able manner in which she delivered the valedictory address showed that she deserved the honon Bishop Phillips Visits The Rt. Rev. C. H. Phillips, bishop of the Third Episcopal District of the C. M. E. church, paid his official visit to Phoenix this month and preached two able sermons at the local C. M. E. church. He was en route to Berkeley CA, where the District Conference of the California District was to be held. While in Phoenix he was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew White in 1638 East Jefferson street. (Preston News Service) Chicago, Ill., June 30.—According to a statement issued last Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Rose Rosehart, a returned missionary from West Coast, Africa, African Girls are decidedly more modest than American girls. Mrs. Rosehart said, "I have been stationed in Sierra Leone for the past six years. African women wear clothes that cover up and to their everlasting credit are much more modest than American girls and women." You speak of flappers in Africa, yes, there are a few, but they are exceedingly rare, and they use blue paste instead of rouge. I must confess that those supposedly heathen women are far in advance of American women, especially when it comes to modesty. Special Notice All churches, lodges and other worthy organizations desirous of giving out-door entertainments, etc., during the summer, are invited to make use of the Community Grounds, 14th street and East Jefferson. Lights furnished for all out-door affairs. For open dates call on or phone Mrs, W. C. Hackett, president of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Giants Lose The invincible Giants, who made such inroads on the 25th Infantry ball players, met their match in the Miami team last Sunday in Riverside park and went down in defeat to the tune of 16 to 4. It was almost a William Jennings Bryan—16 to 1, but one or two errors on the part of the miners permitted our boys to prevent a W. J. B. being put over on them. "O well, next time there will be a different story to tell," says manager Milton Lewis of the Giant team. We shall see what we shall see. No Dull Season There is one business establishment among our group in Phoenix that knows no dull season. Winter, autumn, spring or summer, business is always good with Mrs. Della King, proprietor of the California Hat Cleaning Works, 224 East Adams street. Mrs. King is a finished hatter and has built up a large trade during her three years in business. She knows how to make old hats look and wear like new ones and her many satisfied customers are her best advertisement. Leaving Soon Mrs. Marshall Hicks and daughters, Ella Mae and Mary and son, Marshall Jr. of 1301 East Jefferson street will leave next Friday for California to spend the summer visiting and sightseeing. They plan to remain until late in September. Rev. Stout Visits Phoenix was honored last week with the presence of Rev. Stout, pastor of the $ \mathrm{e} $ C. M. E. church in Chicago. He was just passing through and stopped over to visit his old friends, Rev. and Mrq A. C. Caldwell in 1418 East Washington street. Returns To New Mexico The Rev. A. C. Caldwell. Conference Missionary for the California—Arizona Conference of the C. M. E. church was in Phoenix a few days last week visiting his family. He returned to Roswell. N. M., to hold his district conference, after having accompanied Bishop Phillips to the coast. Special Sermon Sunday The Rev, A. C. Moore, pastor of Tanner Chapel A. M. E, church, 2nd and Jefferson street, will preach two special sermons Sunday, July 1st. Sunday morning he will deliver a sermon especially prepared for christians and church goers.

Dr. Moore is a prepared man, an able pulpiterer and one you will delight to hear. Come to the A. M. E, church Sunday and hear these sermons. Whoever will, let him come. Texas Visitors Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Jordan of Fort Worth, Texas, are recent arrivals in Phoenix and are visiting their nephew, Mr. Stell Jordan in 1022 East Washington street. They are en route to California and plan to spend several months in the Golden State. (Preston News Service) Los Angeles, Calif., June 30.—According to a statement alleged to have been made by Jim Johnson, mayor of Shelby, Mont. Kid Gofrey, Jack Dempsey's sparring partner, let go a swift uppercut to the jaw and the famous title holder fell to the canvass for the count. It is said that when Godfrey realized that he had handed his boss too stiff a blow he rushed to him, caught him and relieved him of the brunt of the fall. Fight fans in this section are up in arms because Jack Dempsey is falling to take his training seriously. They point out that he is hitting the "sbine" too heavily and neglecting his training. Some are inclined to think that he holds Gibbons too lightly. Others are of the opinion that Dempsey wants to be whipped as he had a decided aversion to the idea of surrendering the championship title to a Negro. It is thought in many circles that Dempsey knows that Wills can lick him to a frazzle and for that reason he is not training as seriously as he should. Minstrels Draw Big The Boys Scouts of Troop No. 14, assisted by the Girls Reserve, presented another delightful show at the High School Auditorium that pleased the audience. This troop also presented a show in Mesa to the delight of many. Scoutmaster Chas. F. Gardner states that they are still short about $140 of the $300 necessary to take the colored boys to the summer camp in Prescott. All loyal citizens are asked to come to the aid of the organization by opening your hearts and your pocketbooks. Mr. Gardner may be reached at 930 East Washington St. Visitor From Prescott Mrs. Jeanette Knight of Prescott, spent a few days in Phoenix last week visiting relatives and friends. She is Rev. Wm Solly's niece by a former marriage.

G. Howard, Phoenix; Auditor, Mrs. Lizzie Polk, Flagstaff. The delegates were royally entertained by the ladies of Flagstaff and their stay made very pleasant indeed. Just Making Out Mr. B. Banks, manager of the B. B. Second hand store is a mystery to the business men of Phoenix. With him, business is always the same. He never boasts of an extra good week, neither does he ever complain of a dull week. Whenever he is asked: "How's Business", his answer is always the same: "I am just making Out." He is the poor man's friend and if you want to dress up real cheap and look prosperous visit his store at 17 So. 4th street. Visitor From Texas Mrs. S. J. Chestnut, of Corsicana. Tex., is visiting her son-in-law and grand daughter, Mr. G. S. Rodgers and Miss Sanoma Rodgers in 25 North 11th street. She will remain several months. Pioneer Settler Passes Word received this week from Albuquerque, N. M., is to the effect that on last Sunday, June 24, Mr. E. Nat Reynolds, one of the pioneer residents of that city, passed away following an operation for appendicitis. He became very ill Saturday, June 23, was rushed to the hospital and operated upon for appendicitis. He died early Sunday morning. Mr. Reynolds was a train porter in the employ of the Santa Fe System and had been a resident of Albuquerque for more than 30 years. Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our without wealth there leisure, without can leisure can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress. Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year HARRY WILLS STARTS TRAINGING FOR A BOUT WITH JACK DEMPSEY (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) New York City, June 30. At last it looks as though things have about shaped themselves so Wills, the bronze panther, will have a chance at the title. It is said that he is a favorite among the long shoremen. The fellow workers paid him a high tribute when he laid down the handles of his truck last Thursday night and announced to them that he was going into training preparatory for a title bout with Jack Dempsey—the bout for which he has been watchfully waiting for years. Wills and his manager Paddy Mullins, it is said have taken literally the promise of Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, that the title-holder will meet Wills next, providing he is champion after he meets Tommy Gibbons. The state boxing commission it is understood is preparing to give a decision on the proposal to hold the bout in this state. Wills started training Friday. Th. Negro fans in Harlem say that is a bad sign. Wills should not have started training on Friday. They declare that it is an ill omen. He will never fight Dempsey, and if he does something will go wrong. Wills laughed at this expression of superstition on the part of his many admirers. He told them the main thing was to train. Start when you will. But the superstition of the fight fans still goes on. Rousing Meeting Real old time religious services are being conducted at the Church of God and Christ, 14th and East Madison streets. Elder L. L. Britaon, the pastor is preaching some strong sermons and his message is being received enthusiastically by the large crowds who always attend services at this church. Strangers and visitors cordially invited to attend the services. Moving Forward The Rev. M. Thompson, pastor of the C. M. E. Church, is bringing things to pass at this church. Real spiritual meetings are held and the old time gospel fire burns fervently. This is Dr. Thompson's fourth year in this charge and it is by far his most successful one. They are planning to build a new parsonage and make other whorth while improvements. They are doing things at the C. M. E. Church. A visit to this church will convince you. Everybody welcome. To the Coast The Rev. Edward Jones, who has been filling the pulpit at the Second Baptist Church, will leave Sunday for San Diego, Cal., to attend the session of the Grand Lodge, International Order of Twelve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, and the Rev. F. O. Brown, a visiting Baptist minister will fill the pulpit during his absence. Rev. Jones has been preaching some splendid sermons at this church and the attendance has been excellent. Holding Their Own. The Rev. C. A. Gilmore, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, 11th street and Washington, is one of the pioneer pastors in Phoenix and services at this church always are uplifting, inspiring and generally well attended. Dr. Gilmore plans to leave soon for the east to attend the National Convention of Baptists (unincorporated), which meets in August. *** To Oklahoma Mrs. Marie Franklin of 1030 East Washington street is spending the summer in Oklahoma City, Okla., with relatives. Returns from Ohio Mrs. A. Stewart, 238 West Jackson street, returned a few days ago from Chillicothe, Ohio, where she was called on account of the death of her son, Vernet C. Stewart. Mrs. Stewart states that she was accorded every courtesy by the people of that city and many attended the funeral. Wounds on the body of Vernett, showed that he had been shot four times and it is the belief of his mother that none of them were self-inflicted. An Appreciation The Booker T. Washington Hospital management wishes to thank Mrs. Scott Smith and Mrs. E. L. Flewellen for flowers sent patients in this institution.

OPTIMISM he says that optimism is the best ordered for the best; the one i constantly tending toward to look on the brightest states than an optimist is a belief so hopes for the best. I do not endeavoring to organize a optimist is becoming so rare, the capital idea to let our readers be equal we were going to write about him in your every day affair, some that he is a nonentity, definition. In conditions in Arizona, Phoenix that we right-about-face and be of the spirit of optimism. Business men and other men of affairs are listened too attentively to, begun to think backward. "As heart, so is he," is the scripture first follow that if we persist in make conditions as we would. and the Salt River Valley unity to investors, ambitious place in the United States today here, little realize the good to without our notice. Right now be made a beehive of industryism is preached and practice resources, the money and the lives lacking. Mia is booming. Why? Because masters over there. Let Arizona state in this style of advertising. You can never be a big man—think big things. Our minded from thinking only little to make our presence felt. Webster says that optimism is the doctrine that everything is ordered for the best; the doctrine that the universe i constantly tending toward a better state; disposition to look on the brightest side of things. He further states than an optimist is a believer in optimism; one who hopes for the best. We are not endeavoring to organize a kindergarten, but the real optimist is becoming so rare, we thought it would be a capital idea to let our readers know just the kind of animal we were going to write about. You see so little of him in your every day affairs, till it is thought by some that he is a nonentity. Hence our lengthy definition. Present conditions in Arizona, Phoenix in particular demand that we right-about-face and become imbued with more of the spirit of optimism. Business men, professional men and other men of affairs in this community have listened too attentively to the pessimist and have begun to think backward. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," is the scriptural teaching. Then, it must follow that if we persist in right thinking, we can make conditions as we would like to have them. Phoenix and the Salt River Valley present the best opportunity to investors, ambitious men and women, of any place in the United States today. Those of us who are here, little realize the good things we are letting pass without our notice. Right now, this community can be made a beehive of industry and activity if only optimism is preached and practiced. We have the natural resources, the money and the brains. Initiative only is lacking. California is booming. Why? Because they are optimistic boosters over there. Let Arizona imitate our sister state in this style of advertising and watch our progress. You can never be a big man unless you have big ideas—think big things. Our minds have become dwarfed from thinking only little things. Let's brace up and make our presence felt. COURAGE OR COWARDICE not escape if we neglect so great salvation of the Negro race to in its own hands. Unity of courage to be upstanding men and nese. There are so many who move along the lines of lea "We cannot escape if we neglect so great a salvation." The salvation of the Negro race today in this country, lies in its own hands. Unity of action is the great need. It takes courage to be upstanding men and women in times like these. There are so many who prefer to be dwarfs, and move along the lines of least resistance, seeking what they call easy places for themselves, regardless of what becomes of the rest of us. They haven't courage enough to take a manly stand on any proposition. Never try to open a door of opportunity for the race, but when others, through courage and sacrifice open a door, they are ready to sneak in for the fishes and loaves. This ought not to be. Let us work together for the common good of all. Bickerings and petty jealousies will never get us far. It is not expected that we all should think alike, but it does seem like that we, as a group, would have sense enough to get together when all our rights are at stake. St. Louis Argus. The Power of Faith: Jesus said unto them, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20. Patience is the art, or rather the practice of enduring human stupidity. No wonder egotists find the world so ugly, they see only themselves in it. It's easy to be philosophical with the other man's troubles. A shallow mind offers poor anchorage for broad opinions. To attain happiness one must give up the pursuit of pleasure. The price of dishonesty is the fear of being found out. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Week Day Sermonette BY H. T. S. JOHNSON, Interrracial Secretary for Oklahoma A COMMAND AND A PROMISE Matt. 7:7-8. "Ask and you will find; knock and you." The Lord Jesus meant people to whom He spoke at the Mount, but especially at United States because to him nied, advantages hidden and continually ask, seek and keep handicaps of slavery, ignorant stand in the way of his country prayer is that the Negro the scripture which we come from the burning heart of it. "Ask," is the first command, "it will be given you." This command and promise we should not have to get at that would be ours for the to overlook or make any exudence against the Negro, it ask for them, many things of White men are ready to help on the railroads. But we are masses of our people, man wealth and education, sufferent "jim crow" regulations. This is so generally true the protests and asks for better upon by some as an agitator stand in with the conductor. Those who do obligate them cannot protest against any much for the little rebate of self-respect and the freedom on public carriers. The Corporation Commission taxation. The Negro, therefore. That Commission, science will investigate every without reference to the complaint. Much could be conditions if, in appreciable must be done. We suffer as a race in order to use our asker.

It is that the Negro in this country will secure which we consider this week, by pouring heart of Jesus to him. "It is the first command, followed by the will be given you." If as a race, we would stand and promise as meant for us, we cannot have to get along without so much aid be ours for the asking. Without risk or make any excuse for the white man must the Negro, it is but fair to say that, many things denied us now would be ready to help us get better access roads. But we are not asking for them to our people, many of them are Negro education, suffer the humiliation of "row" regulations without a word of it generally true that when an occasion and asks for better accommodations, he come as an agitator.

For some things we to ask. But for others we must seek opportunities, advantages and find not come just for the asking. Let us Negro race, bend our energies towards all racial ills. This can best be done by co-operation—the practice of the both races getting together in every case purpose of making local conditions the well being of all concerned. In self-control, opportunity, privilege, influence of the Holy Spirit, they will them, an experience of such "peace" will toward men" as was prohpiesed so announced in song the birth of Jessephers of Judea. Next says, also; "Knock and the door you." To ask for that which is plain questionably our own; to seek for our and hidden friends, is not enough. Closed doors which keep us from the best those doors are opened: Have not space to discuss the many days of our privilege to knock. Just let you and a field of service will open before deepen your obligation to God and my accomplishments will rise in view. Only God can use frail and erring man for kingdom building. Remember who asks that receives, he who says the who knocks, that has the door Matt. 7:7-8. "Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." The Lord Jesus meant these words not only for the people to whom He spoke in that matchless sermon on the Mount, but especially applicable to the Negro in the United States because to him so many privileges are denied, advantages hidden and doors closed, that he must continually ask, seek and knock in order to throw off the handicaps of slavery, ignorance and superstition that stand in the way of his coming into his own. Therefore, my prayer is that the Negro in this country will think of the scripture which we consider this week, as coming from the burning heart of Jesus to him. "Ask," is the first command, followed by the promise, "it will be given you." If as a race, we would regard this command and promise as meant for us, personally, we should not have to get along without so many things that would be ours for the asking. Without intending to overlook or make any excuse for the white man's prejudice against the Negro, it is but fair to say that if we ask for them, many things denied us now would be given. White men are ready to help us get better accomodations on the railroads. But we are not asking for them. The masses of our people, many of them are Negroes of wealth and education, suffer the humiliation of the present "jim crow" regulations without a word of complaint. This is so generally true that when an occasional Negro protests and asks for better accomodations, he is looked upon by some as an agitator. Too many of our big men stand in with the conductor and ride at reduced rates. Those who do obligate themselves to the extent that they cannot protest against anything. They are paying too much for the little rebate they get. It is costing them self-respect and the freedom to ask for better treatment on public carriers. The Corporation Commission is supported by public taxation. The Negro, therefore, contributes to its maintenance. That Commission, I know from personal experience will investigate every complaint brought before it, without reference to the complexion or race of the complainant. Much could be done toward making better conditions if, in appreciable numbers, we would ask that it be done. We suffer as a race in many respects because we fail to use our asker. In the matter of parks, play grounds, water, lights, sewer, better school facilities, etc., we lack, not only because of the white man's prejudice but also because we do not ask for relief along these lines. If we ask and in the interest of the Negro child for the things which rightly belong to us, fairminded white men and women will join us in the appeal until it is granted. We know this because of past experiences and because God's word says, "Ask and it will be given you." "Seek and you will find," is the second command, succeeded by a promise. For some things it is only necessary to ask. But for others we must seek. We must seek opportunities, advantages and friendships. These do not come just for the asking. Let us members of the Negro race, bend our energies towards seeking a remedy for all racial ills. This can best be done through interracial co-operation—the practice of the better element of both races getting together in every community for the express purpose of making local conditions contribute to the well being of all concerned. If we seek patience, self-control, opportunity, privilege, and the abiding influence of the Holy Spirit, they will be found; and with them, an experience of such "peace on earth, and good will toward men" as was prohpsied by the angels who announced in song the birth of Jesus, to the gentle shepherds of Judea. Our text says, also; "Knock and the door will be opened to you." To ask for that which is plainly before us and unquestionably our own; to seek for debatable privileges and hidden friends, is not enough. We must knock at closed doors which keep us from the best things of life until those doors are opened. We have not space to discuss the many doors upon which it is our privilege to knock. Just let your thinker work and a field of service will open before you calculated to deepen your obligation to God and man, while a vision of accomplishments will rise in view, showing how mightly God can use frail and erring mankind in His program for kingdom building. Remember, "it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks, that has the door opened to him." Had Failed To Be Confirmed By Senate During Recent Session. Southern Democratic Senators Peeved At President's Action. Washington.—Walter L. Cohen, New Orleans, Negro Republican leader, has been given a recess appointment by President Harding as Comptroller of Customs for the New Orleans district. Cohen was nominated for the same office during the recent session of Congress but failed of confirmation by the Senate. The action of the President in reappointing Cohen was announced at the White House where officials expressed the belief that the appointment was entirely proper, although and it will be given you; seek and the door will be opened to these words not only for the main that matchless sermon or applicable to the Negro in the town so many privileges are de- d doors closed, that he must knock in order to throw off the ance and superstition that giving into his own.

The renaming by President Harding for the third time of Walter L. Cohen has been prominent in Republican politics, collector of Customs at New Orleans, is termed a slap in the face of the Senate by Senator Ransdell, Democrat of Louisiana. "Cohen's appointment was rejected at the last session of the Senate," Senator Ransdell said, "and I am confident it will again reject him when it convenes. The renaming of Cohen after he twice had been rejected is against precedent." BOY SCOUTS (Conducted by National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.) BROTHERS ARE SCOUT HEROES A story of spirited courage and noble sacrifice was enacted last summer when two brothers, Scouts Truman Reynolds and Stanley Reynolds, of Syracuse, N. Y., saved four women from drowning. Truman Reynolds gave up his life in the accomplishment of the brave deed. While crossing Chautauqua lake a motorboat containing ten persons sprang a leak, the seams gradually gave way and the craft began to sink. "Truman and I told the others to be calm," relates Stanley Reynolds. I told the girls in the party to jump as far from the boat as they could so that they would not be drawn under when the boat sank. After the girls plunged into the water Truman and I jumped in after them. Truman caught hold of two girls and I grabbed the other two. The young women my brother grabbed became frightened. In their excitement they struck at him several times —there were scratches and bruises on his face and head; but he kept them afloat nevertheless. A life preserver floated near me, and I helped the girls to it. We were in the water about half an hour. It seemed hours. Finally a lifeboat came to us from a passing steamer. As the boat drew near to him Truman caught the girls by the hair and with a swing raised them into the arms of the men in the boat. The girls I had were already in the boat. I followed in. I was tired out. I asked Truman if he could make it and he answered. 'Yes, I'm all right.' The words were scarcely out of his mouth when he disappeared beneath the surface of the water. I dived in and caught hold of him as he was going down. When we came up, men caught hold of us and pulled us into the boat. Truman's heart was beating when they got him into the boat. I didn't know much about what was going on. As they pulled toward the steamer my strength came back. I thought Truman was unconscious. Two doctors on shipboard worked over him; then I tried for a long time. The doctors said he was dead." Both Stanley and Truman Reynolds were members of Troop 3. Onondaga council, New York, boy scouts, and had received their training in swimming and life saving at the Syracuse scout camp, Camp Loyalty, on Crooked lane. SCOUTS RESCUE FRIEND Six Manchester (N. H.) scouts and nine-year-old Joseph Bolando, a relative of one of the scouts, were building a fort just below an old milldam. Lodged on a little island 30 feet across the rapid stream, was a log the boys needed in their building. Young Joseph decided to cross the water for the log. He started out, fastening about his waist a wire with which he intended to draw the log back. When the lad was halfway across, he slipped and was drawn beneath the water by the current. Two of the scouts hastened to the rescue and when they found they were unable to draw the child up, a third scout dove in and discovered that the wire around the boy's waist was fastened to a rock. He unloosened the wire and the three boys brought the unconscious lad to shore, where the other three scouts administered first aid. Soon the little fellow regained consciousness. The boys took him home on a stretcher which they had rapidly constructed in the emergency. TOWN HONORS BOY SCOUTS Scouts of Freeport, L. L., because of their excellent community services during the past summer, have been honored by the city officials who have voted to create a municipal signal to summon the scouts in cases of emergency. An announcement to this effect was made by the chief of police at a recent scout "father and son" meeting. One blast of the home defense whistle means no school on account of inclement weather. Two blasts mean the American Legion is summoned. Three blasts is the signal for scouts to gather immediately for some civic service that is to be rendered in a hurry. SCOUTS CITED FOR BRAVERY Among the records of scouts in many states throughout the country who have performed significant work in forest-dire fighting the Pennsylvania scouts hold a prominent place. Last year these lads received citations from the state constabulary for bravery and efficient service. SCOUT'S GOOD TURN AT RACE During a race at the last Interstate fair, Spokane, Washington, a prize horse broke away from the jockey and began a wild course around the track. When the efforts of officials to stop the horse had failed, Scout David Hawkins of Troop No. 12 dashed to the track as the horse neared the turn and, after waving his hands, stopped the high-strung animal, tightened the saddle girth, mounted, and sped away. The horse breasted the tape not far behind the winner. Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale MARY GRAHAM BONNER COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION "I'm ready for some fun," said Sir Blizzard. "Yes, I most certainly am all ready for fun. "I'm going to have such fun that the people will say that it is the worst blizzard they have known and that they haven't seen a storm like this in ever so long. "They will say that this has been the coldest weather they have ever known. Of course they often say all of these thelings. But that is because they can't "I'm going to have such fun that the people will say that it is the worst blizzard they have known and that they haven't seen a storm like this in ever so long. "They will say that this has been the coldest weather they have ever known. Of course they often say all of these thelings. But that is because they can't speak too well of Sir Blizzard and his friends. "We Love to Dance" "We Love to Sir Blizzard and his friends. "They can't just say that I'm Sir Blizzard or Blizzard. But they have to say they have never known such a blizzard or something like that. "They must praise me in the highest terms possible. They must say things like this or they feel they don't properly do me justice." "I'm not so sure that they feel that way about you," said the Crystal Sisters. They don't want to praise you so much but they think you're so bad that they can't half describe you." "Whether they think I'm bad or good makes no difference to me," said Sir Blizzard," as long as I get them to say that I am a regular blizzard all right. That is all I care about." "It amuses me the way they say the same things year after year. There is one young man who speaks of the weather as being the coldest he has ever known. He does that every single winter. "And surely each winter isn't colder than the last one, but he says so! Ha, ha," and Sir Blizzard gave a cold laugh. "Well," said the Crystal Sisters. "we're glad you invited us to join the fun. We wouldn't have missed this for anything. "We love to dance down on the window ledges and roofs and we are so ard that we make quite a lot of noise. "We like noise, too!" "I heard such a funny thing the other day," said Madame Snow, "and hat was they had a lot of snow in a city and that when a merry little sleigh was taken out with bells jingling from it, that lots and lots of people stood and stared as though they had never seen a sleigh before. "The Snow Flake messengers brought me this message, and I was much amused, much amused." "Ah, but we're talking too quietly," said Sir Blizzard, "if you will pardon me for Interrupting." "Tertinally, certainly," said Madame Snow. "May we join the fun?" asked the Snow Flake messengers. "Oh yes," said Sir Blizzard. "Glad to have you. But you must be rough. "You know I believe in roughness." "We know," said the Snow Flake messengers. "Indeed we do," said the Crystal Sisters. So all of the Crystal Sisters and the Snow Flakes, and Prince Sleet and Madame Snow and all of the other snow creatures joined the fun. "They were expecting us some time ago, but we fooled them and didn't come then. "Then when we began to appear, but didn't play very roughly they said that wasn't the blizzard they were expecting," said Sir Blizzard. "So you see they were expecting us. "But we'll give them a treat this time. Oh yes, we'll give them a good old blizzard." "We'll let the snow drift in great piles and then we'll blow snow one way and then the other, first to one side and next to the other side. The snow will have some fine old races. C "And it will be some time before the people have clear weather. "Some of the snow children may try to drift into the windows if they like. Of course they are never welcome and they're only wiped up in a hurry. But no matter. up in a hurry. "We Must Storm." But no matter. We mustn't mind little things like that. "We must storm, storm, storm, heigh ho, heigh ho!" ended Sir Blizzard. He's "Columbus" Now In a public school recently the teacher asked a boy pupil to tell something about Christopher Columbus. This was his answer: "Columbus discovered America. He never told a lie. He once cut down his father's cherry tree with his hatchet. He did his arithmetic examples on a fire shovel, and once, when he was all dressed up he pulled a pig out of a mud-puddle where he was stuck. He was kind-hearted." SATURDAY.

THREATENS LIFE OF WALTER COHEN (Special to The Tribune) New Orleans, La.—Federal authorities were called upon today to make rigid investigation into the writing of anonymous and threatening letters to Walter L. Cohen, Negro, recently named comptroller of customs for the Louisiana port, as a recess appointment by President Harding. Not only were the threatening letters sent to Mr. Cohen, but Emile Kuntz, republican collector of customs, and others of the officials about the offices here were warned that should Cohen take the position, they too would be dealt violence. The letters, which have been turned over to the postoffice inspectors, threatened death for Collector Kuntz, in event the nomination of Cohen is confirmed by the senate, while others declared Cohen would be killed should he be confirmed. Signed "K. K. K." and "White Supremacy." Several of the letters were signed "K. K. K.," while others which were sent to Collector Kuntz protested to the appointment of white women in the same office with Negroes and was signed "White Supremacy." fresh from the factory FRESH Tuxedo TOBACCO now 15¢ ROLL YOUR OWN WITH Riz La Croix Papers Attached Announ GREAT N STEAMSHIP (Incorpor BOSTON Announcement THE GREAT NORTHERN REAMSHIP COMPANY (Incorporated) BOSTON, MASS.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE.—The practical experience of Fred T. Colter in reclaiming Arizona lands is, perhaps the most extensive of any in the State, as he has tailed and put under operation six of his own private reclamation projects. He has frequently sacrificed his personal interests in his efforts in behalf of Arizona, and the sincerity of his purpose is unquestioned. Arizona won her greatest victory by defeating the Colorado River Compact as formulated at Santa Fe, New Mexico; thereby retaining her inherent rights in the irrigation waters and electric power sites in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado Gila River. These rivers open the way for Arizona's development of the largest reclamation and power project in the world. There is not a single avenue th cement THE NORTHERN COMPANY (orated) N. MASS.

These rivers open the way for Arizona's development of the largest reclamation and power project in the world. There is not a single avenue the Pact provides that we do not already have better provisions, quicker and more equitable means whether it is to file on, develop or any act in Arizona on the Colorado river or settle any disputes, or have conference with any one or six other states, not mentioning the rights we relinquished under the Pact. The Pact takes away from Arizona and give to Mexico's Foreign and big land owners and prohibits the many Proposed projects from using the surplus waters. In addition to complicating Arizona's power sites, the pact decides definitely only two points: It makes clear Mexico's allocation of water. It also defines that the upper basin states shall have seven and one half million acre feet, and eight and on the half million acre feet in the lower basin states, (including the Gila rives in the lower basin states). The states of each basin must decide their different allocations, and herein lies many disputes and endless litigation. Under the Pact surplus water goes to Mexico as well a she return flow and "JUST W Shoes Union NELSON 42 West Washington St. W. E. H. Learn the Madam C. J.

(The lower basin cannot possibly take the surplus, again in Article VIII of the Pact as states,) but Mexico's allocation to millions of acres must be maintained at the expense of both the upper and lower basin states, even to the appropriation of the water of the Gila river for this purpose This is plainly stated in the Pact in Article 3, paragraph C. as follows: "If such surplus shall prove insufficient fir this purpose, the burden of the deficiency shall be borne equally by the upper and lower basin." God only knows how far reaching this provision may be. Mexico's big land monopolists could even take the waters from the completed projects as well as from the State. Neither can the many proposed projects utilize the surplus waters. Possible Development Enormous Without the Pact and Great prosperity to the entire State and the Salt River Valley Immediate.

GREEN ACCUSED OF BORROW-ING FROM GA. K. P' Supreme Chancellor Knights Pythias Got Money While Investigating Financial Conditions in Georgia. Tidal Wave Is Expected At Next Grand Lodge Session. B. J. Davis Asks For An Explanation. Atlanta, Ga.,—Troubled waters are seen for the coming session of the Georgia Grand Lodge. Knights of Pythias is indicated by the recent discovery that S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor, did borrow $10,000 from the Georgia Grand Lodge during the time that the said grand lodge's financial condition was under investigation. The eyes of the Pythians of Georgia have turned from their local officers to the Supreme Officers. Distrust, fears and the talk of graft is in much evidence. B J. Davis, a prominent business and fraternal man of Atlanta in a letter to the officers of Georgia Grand Lodge has this to say: AN OPEN LETTER TO GRAND CHANCELLOR REID, SECRETARY TREASURER WARREN, GRAND ATTORNEY PETTIE, AND GRAND MASTER OF EXCHEQUER GEO. N. STONEY. Sir Knights: "It is currently reported in the state that you officers did loan without warrant or authority $10,000 of the Order's funds, which were in your care and keeping, to Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, since and during the time that he was auditing the books of the Order despite the fact that our officers, living and dead, are under fire now for the misappropriation of trust funds. "If you did loan this money as alleged and notoriously reported over the state, by what authority did you loan it, and what security did you take. "It is further reported that you have paid to Supreme Chancellor Green $8,000.00 in back tax money on account of money owed at the time of the Formal Opening of Given Bros.

If this is true, what have you been doing with the money collected during the years 1920, 1921 and 1922 for the Supreme Lodge? "We take the position that if the Supreme Chancellor borrowed any amount of money from the officers whom he was checking up, and whose accounts it was his duty to investigate, it was an intimidation and calculated to ingratiate himself in your favor and to disqualify him to make an impartial investigation and report the whole truth to the Order, as he was bound by his obligation to do.
