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. VII—NO. 4 MENACE OF KU KLUX TOLD BY WHITE TEXAN IN BRIEF STATEMENT That the Ku Klux Klan is the greatest menace to this government is strikingly brought out in a statement issued some time ago by R. D. Creager, Republican National Committee man from Texas, the hot-bed of Klanism. The meaning of the Klan in all of its propaganda is brought to light in this statement that "he who runs may read." That the secret political organization known as the Ku Klux Klan is rapidly becoming a menace to American Institutions, no informed man can question. By both secret and public propaganda this order is arousing a wave of religious and racial intolerance, passion and prejudice that is spreading with alarming rapidity. Roman Catholics, Jews, foreignborn, sons and daughters of foreignborn parents and Negroes are the object of the Klan attack. Those within any of these classes are held to constitute no part of the "net worth" of the American people. The preachment is that they are not and cannot be 100 per cent American. Membership in the Ku Klux Klan is limited to white, native-born, protestants, and for them is claimed an exclusive 100 per cent Americanism. All others, the Klan teaches, constitute an "undesirable element." a "polluting stream" in our citizenship. What the Wizard Says H. W. Evans, Imperial Wizard of the Klan, in an official and carefully prepared speech delivered at the state fair of Texas at Dallas on October 24, 1923, and which has recently been published by the Klan in pamphlet form and mailed broadcast throughout the United States, has this to say of the population of the United States: "We already have at least three powerful and numerous elements that do now, and forever will, defy every fundamental requirement of assimilation. They cannot be merged because of insurmountable social, racial and religious barriers. They will always stand apart from our own people." Who They Are Against He then list, first, the Negro; second, the Jew of whom he says: "To him, patriotism as the Anglo-Saxon feels it, is impossible," and third, the Roman and Greek Catholics of whom he says: "whose assimilation is impossible without the gravest danger to our institutions;" and again, "they demand, and unceasingly seek to exercise dominion outside the spiritual. To them the presidency at Washington is subordinate to the priesthood at Rome." He states that "illiteracy of Europe is practically confined to Catholic countries" and asks: "Is it unfair to suggest that Catholicism, if not actually desiring that condition, thrives upon ignorance." He says: "Let me give you a bird's eye picture of the American people, reduced to racial, national and social values." He then gives the number of those in the United States who (1st) were born abroad; (2nd) born here of foreign parentage, and (3rd) born here of mixed alien and native stock: adds the number of Negroes, Indians, Orientals and Asiatics—summarizes the total and says "We had, then, in 1920, alien and colored peoples aggregating ____." Unreasonable and unbelievable as it may seem, native born Americans whose parents, one or both, were born abroad, are classified as "alien." Referring to the classes above enumerated, including native born Americans of foreign or mixed parentage, Dr. Evans continues. "There are several other substractions to be made before arriving at the net worth (italics are mine) of the American people," and proceeds to list the insane, the paupers, the criminals and others. It is to be kept in mind that the foregoing quotations are from a carefully studied and prepared speech printed and widely distributed by the official head and spokesman of this order. The limits to which the unofficial, unreported and unpublished propaganda of the Klan goes can be imagined. Coward in Operations No man of national prominence has yet been found to openly defend or advocate the principles and teachings of this masked and hooded, un-American and dangerous organization. Nev- OSCAR ROBERTS IS CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF REPUBLICAN TICKET Oscar Roberts Republican candidate for sheriff at the primary election to be held September 9th, came to Phoenix 37 years ago and has lived in Maricopa county most of that time. He served two years as Deputy Sheriff under Cook and was Chief of Police of Phoenix six months. Mr. Roberts is making the race for sheriff on his past record and he stands for law enforcement and good government. His friends predict an easy victory for him and are working to that end. J. M. SHOTT WILL MAKE RACE FOR EAST PHOENIX CONSTABLE J. M. SHOTT WILL MAKE RACE FOR EAST PHOENIX CONSTABLE J. M. Shott, Democratic candidate for constable, East Phoenix Precinct, was born in Pennsylvania and has been a resident of Phoenix for the past 43 years. He is a heavy taxpayer and a man with a reputation for honorable and upright dealing. A few years ago he was a member of the city council and his record is open for inspection. If elected constable of East Phoenix Precinct, Mr. Shott promises strict enforcement of the law without fear or favor. Miss Miller a Graduate Phoenix friends of Miss Anita Evelyn Miller will be pleased to learn that she recently completed her High School course with honors at Lincoln High, Lincoln, Neb. In a class of 174 students, only three colored girls were numbered, and Miss Miller was one of this group. Phoenix school friends of Miss Miller will remember her as the niece of Mr. and Mrs. Julius H. Miller of Superior, former residents of Phoenix. Miss Miller was the recipient of many presents on the occasion of her graduation and chief among the gifts was a check for $50 from her uncle Julius of Superior. She also received presents from South Carolina and other distant points where relatives lived Among the presents were a beautiful string of pearls, a diamond ring and flowers galore. Missionary Social The missionary ladies of the First Colored Baptist church gave a very successful entertainment Thursday evening on the Women's Club grounds, 14th street and East Jefferson. ertheless it has spread with astonishing rapidity into practically every state in the union, and in many of them, is exerting a political influence alarming to all true Americans. Tar and Feathers The usurpations of governmental power, the violations of law, the midnight outrages, whippings, tar-and-featherings, mutilations, murders, divisions of friends, of families, of whole communities; the bitterness the strife and the unhappiness that have universally followed wherever the Klan has grown strong are well known and I shall not take space or time in recounting them. Whatever the intent of its founders, the order, in its practical workings, is thoroughly and indisputably bad. It is breeding disregard for law and constituted authority. Its tecahings are in violation of the most sacred and fundamental principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It is creating and dangerously increasing racial and religious prejudices and passions. Is this threat to American fundamentals to be ignored while it gathers strength or is it to be openly met and challenged? My own conviction is that it is the bounden duty of every right-thinking American, irrespective of religious belief or racial origin, to militantly take the field, not because his race or religion is being attacked, but because American fundamentals are threatened.

BISHOP OF A. J. CAREY DECLINED POSITION LEFT BY DR. COPPIN BISHOP OF A. J. CAREY DECLINED POSITION LEFT BY DR. COPPIN PHILADELPHIA.—The death of Bishop Levi J. Coppin so soon after the general conference left the important 4th district embracing Chicago without an episcopal head. The entire Chicago and Illinois delegation attended the Coppin funeral here and the Bishops Council later presenting a petition that Bishop A. J. Carey be assigned to the 4th district. Bishop Coppin's last letter is said to have contained this same request. Owing to the heavy demands of the important work with which Bishop Carey has been intrusted by the council, he declined the nomination retaining the 5th district. The 4th district was divided between Bishop A. L. Gaines and Bishop Vernon, the former taking the Chicago and northern Illinois and the latter the southern Illinois and Indiana districts. HI LINIVLLE OUT TO WIN NOMINATION FOR SHERIFF SEPT. 9 H. H. (HI) Linville, candidate for Sheriff of Maricopa county subject to Democratic primaries September 9th, was born in Kansas and reared in Missouri. He came to Arizona in 1886 and is well and favorably known throughout the state. Mr. Linville served as deputy sheriff under Carl Hayden, present Representative in Congress, and made an enviable record as a law enforcement officer. He was employed in the Santa Fe R. R. shops for 8 1/2 years prior to his acceptance of a position with the State Highway Department, where he is now employed. I nominated and elected Sheriff of Maricopa county, he promises strict enforcement of the law. CATHOLICS TO HELP COLORED BRETHREN FIGHT INJUSTICE CATHOLICS TO HELP COLORED BRETHREN FIGHT INJUSTICE That the Catholic church is interested in the welfare of the Negroes who come to the large Urban centers, is shown by a special reference to the colored "brethren" in an address made by the President of the Catholic Union of Mo., at Kansas City recently, in which he said: "Owing to the increase of the number of Negroes, especially in our large centers of population, we deem it opportune that the Catholics should interest themselves in the welfare of the colored brethren. We recommend every available means be employed to further the spiritual welfare of our colored brethren. Tolerance "The constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience and freedom of worship to all citizens, regardless of creed, race or nationality. "Tolerance and brotherly love are cardinal principles of the Catholic church. "We therefore condemn all efforts that are now being made discriminating against our fellow-citizens on religious grounds as un-Christian and un-American." ATT'Y SAM'L WHITE IS CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF SUPERIOR COURT ATT'Y SAM'L WHITE IS CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF SUPERIOR COURT Samuel White, Democratic candidate for Superior Judge, Maricopa County, was born in Griffen, Georgia educated at Mercer University, a Baptist college at Macon, Georgia, and at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Teen. He was admitted to the Bar in Georgia; moved to Oregon in 1885, where he lived and practiced his profession until he entered the World War in 1918, serving as a Major in the Judge Advocate General's department. After his discharge from the army he came to the state of Arizona and has been associated with Mr. George Purdy Bullard in the practice of law at room 411, Goodrich Building, Phoenix. While living in Oregon he served as District Attorney of the Eighth Judicial District for a period of six years, and two years on the circuit bench of the Eighth Judicial District. He was also Chairman of the Democratic State Committee from 1901 to 1904, inclusive, and again from 1915 to 1918. He was also President of the State Bar Association from 1916 to 1917. He is a life-long Democrat, and took an active part in the political affairs of the party in Oregon. He is a man of ripened experience and mature judgment. Since coming to Arizona he has won for himself an enviable position as a lawyer among the members of his profession in the City of Phoenix. J. T. BONE IS OUT FOR SUPERVISOR FROM DSTRICT NO.3 J. T. Bone, Democratic candidate for supervisor from District No. 3, is making a strong race for the office. Mr. Bone has been a resident of Maricopa county for 37 years and has spent the better part of his life in aiding the development of the Salt River valley and Phoenix. He was one of the first and foremost boosters for the Roosevelt dam project and assisted in the organization of the Salt River Valley Water Users' Assn. Mr. Bone was the first county assessor with statehood and gave such eminent satisfaction that he was twice re-elected, serving over a period of seven years. If elected to the office of supervisor, Mr. Bone pledges himself to efficient and economical administration of the affairs of the county. Now that the democrats are angling for the support of the colored voters in the northern states, there has been a let-up in the introduction of "Jim Crow" bills in Congress. J. K. WARD IS OUT FOR COUNTY TREASURER IN FALL ELECTIONS J. K. WARD IS OUT FOR COUNTY TREASURER IN FALL ELECTIONS Splendid progress is being made in the primary campaign of J. K. Ward in his race for the democratic nomination for county treasurer, according to Ward's workers in many parts of the county. As a deputy in the county treasurer's office, in charge of the automobile license department, Mr. Ward has demonstrated his fitness for public office, claim his friends. Paintstaking, accurate and courteous he has made a favorable impression on all with whom he has come in J. K. WARD contact, and this alone has aided materially in furthering his and dacy for promotion to a higher of- fice. Ward used to serve the public in the capacity of a grocery clerk, having been associated with the Arizona Grocery company and the A. H. Marshall company for many years. He now serves them as a public servant, dealing out auto plates instead of potatoes and sugar, but in the end, he says, it is the same thing. In other words he has found that public business demands sound business principles to the same extent as private business if one is to make a success, and at all times he has endeavored to give to public business the same conscientious attention - as he would his own private affairs. ATTY EARL F. DRAKE SEEKS NOMINATION FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE ATTY EARL F. DRAKE SEEKS NOMINATION FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE Determined law enforcement is the policy upon which attorney Earl F. Drake seeks the Republican nomination for Judge of the Superior Court. For many months Mr. Drake, in various public addresses, has urgently brought to the attention of our citizens the necessity of more general observance, and enforcement of our laws. In a recent statement he said: "These laws are your laws, my laws, and the other fellow's laws. If the other fellow does not like any of these laws, he has the perfect right to say so and to try to have the law repealed. But as long as the law remains in effect he has no right to violate it or to encourage others to violate it. This nation is founded upon the principle that the majority shall rule. If our government by the people is to continue we must respect our laws so long as they remain in effect." It is evident that Mr. Drake, if elected Judge, will zealously protect those who may appear before him without influential friends to plead their cause. The following is his statement in regard to that subject: "The laws of this state apply with equal force, and equal protection, to all citizens regardless of race, creed, color or prominence, and I pledge myself to so administer them." Had Brother Garvey belonged to the A. M. E. connection he might have been elected Bishop—if he had agreed, in writing, to take up the work in Africa. Why expect the National Colored Democratic Convention to pass a resolution asking for a reduction of southern representation in Congress? FRED L. MEEKS IS CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF MARICOPA COUNTY FRED L. MEEKS IS CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF MARICOPA COUNTY Fred L. Meeks, Republican candidate for sheriff of Maricopa County, is out to win and according to reports from his friends, his chances are good. Meeks, his friends claim, is well qualified for the office and if nominated and elected will give the people of this county an economical, efficient and businesslike administration of the sheriff's office. Mr. Meeks is an ex-service man and his "buddies" say he will go "over the top," because they plan to back him 100 per cent. Strict enforcement of the law, fearlessly and impartially, will be the main plank in his platform, his friends aver.

COLORED MASONS FILE ACTION TO REGAIN SUM LOST Trustees of the "Most Worshipful Sovereign Grand Lodge of Arizona Free and Accepted Masons (Colored)" filed suit in Superior court against bondmen of Jacob Tull, former treasurer of the local chapter, seeking judgment of $2684.80, the amount of alleged defalcations by Tull. Defendant in the suit is the Fidelity and Deposit company of Maryland. The petition filed avers that the defendant company gave a surety bond of $3,000 shortly after Tull was made treasurer of the local chapter in 1921. It alleges that Tull appropriated $2,684.80 of the chapter's money to his own use and that the surety company since has failed to pay the surety bond. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year MADDOCK NOT AFRAID TO TELL HIS STAND ON ALL QUESTIONS Thomas Maddock, Republican candidate for governor, is making the race on the following platform:: I believe that candidates and public officials should with open candor state their position on all pending questions, but that the best future platform is past performance. Highway8 ...I favor a resumption of the construction of the Arizona State Highway System under a single, qualified engineer-executive with full authority and responsibility. Lawn I favor enforcement by peace officers complying with their oaths of office, regardless of the influence of law breakers and the imposing of just sentences by the courts with the full knowledge that such sentences will not be nullified by frequent pardons and paroles. Tolerance I favor religious and racial tolerance as provided by our state and national constitutions and the teachings of Christianity. Politics As politics is the science of government, I favor the interesting of good citizens in politics rather than the fallacy of trying to take politics out of government. Development I favor a definite program of public improvement and development, elastic in execution, to be increased in industrial depression and decreased in times of prosperity, as such policy will tend to reduce unemployment, stabilize wages and avoid the tremendous losses and unfair profits resulting from fluctuating values. Schools I favor a good system of schools from kindergarten to university, as the best agency for the preservation of law and order and the promotion of human health, wealth and happiness. I favor the practice of economy wherever consistent with efficiency, but if education and economy cannot both be secured I favor education until knowledge secured through education can produce both education and economy. Judicial Trials I favor the nomination as well as the election of judges without designation of party affiliation and the investigation and trial of public officials by the judiciary rather than by partisan legislative committees. Auditing I favor the auditing of the receipts and expenditures of all state officials by the state auditor or examiner the same as the records of county officers are examined by the state examiner. Gambling I favor the abolition of state-promoted gambling like the state fair pari-mutuel horse race betting. Colorado River I favor immediate definite action that will bring about the development of the Colorado river at the earliest possible moment. To this end I favor ratification of the Colorado River Compact when a supplemental agreement has been executed among Arizona, Nevada, California and the federal government, satisfactory to Arizona. This agreement must give Arizona forever all the Arizona waters of the Gila river, with all of its tributaries, the Bill Williams and Little Colorado rivers, provide for definite division of the water and power of the main Colorado river and recognize Arizona's right to tax development works and the resultant products of her natural resources. THOMAS MADDOCK. In 1920 there were 90 less children, under 5 years of age, per 1,000 colored women between the ages of 15 and 45, than in the year 1910, as compared with a decrease of only 13 among the white women. In the State of Indiana we have one preacher to every 322 persons, while the whites manage to worry along with one to every 779. Among the colored practicing politicians the great question now is, who among them will be selected to function as the "Chief Mogul" at National Headquarters. There are 1,000 colored policemen in the United States.

High Woodrow Wilson gained the presidency of the Negro, especially in the close states, but never mentioned the Negro in any years he held the position of Presidency, and certainly the Negro might not mention of John W. Davis, who starts out asserting that the Democratic party is to when he knows full well that his party is franchises a great part of the citizens of the Negroatic party is the party of the people in a pitieable plight, with regard to the rights and privileges of citizenship.

No other reason than that Charles W. B. the much-nominated William J. Bryan for democrats, the people down this way seem at in his section the people seem to have the most unusual characters to office, and of a fake can be unloaded upon them. Pularity seems to have come from two sides to William J. Bryan, and the other tries to make the farmers in Nebraska believe for curing their many ills. Is another commendable trait about the Nebraska, and it is that they are quicken they discover that they have made the hypocrisy of Charles W.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. NEGRO WILL NOT BE SO EASILY DUPED The Democrats brought out of the convention of great confusion the very best they had. Mr. Davis is among the exceptional public men, in that he has put honor above gain, and possesses far less of the demagogue than most of those statesmen in this day and generation; but still he, too, prates about the Democratic party being the party of the people, when he knows only too well that the main head and front of the party to which he belongs make it one of their chief and indispensable duties to suppress the vote of the masses in the South, especially in order that an oligarchy might be built up and sustained which shall include only a few of the electorate of this section. Like Woodrow Wilson, he was born in the South, and he has well imbedded in his teachings the lesson that the Negro is not to be tolerated as a part of the common body politic. He is one of the most able and learned men of the country, and that fact should teach him that there is just as much honor in dealing politically with men as there is in business of any kind and nature. Although Woodrow Wilson gained the presidency by the active help of the Negro, especially in the close states, it is true of him that he never mentioned the Negro in any way during the entire eight years he held the position of President of the United States, and certainly the Negro might not expect any better treatment of John W. Davis, who starts out to get the office by asserting that the Democratic party is the party of the people, when he knows full well that his party is the party which disfranchises a great part of the citizens of the country, and if the Democratic party is the party of the people, then the people are in a pitiful plight, with regard to the ability to discharge the rights and privileges of citizenship. The Negro made the mistake in taking Mr. Wilson at his word, when they knew he was simply the tool in the hands of his party, and if they are gullible enough to accept the bait which will be held out to them to induce them to vote the Democratic ticket in the coming campaign, the chances are their support will be no more appreciated, no matter who the candidates are. If for no other reason than that Charles W. Bryan is the brother of the much-nominated William J. Bryan for president by the Democrats, the people down this way seem to be shy of him. Out in his section the people seem to have a mania for electing the most unusual characters to office. At times most any kind of a fake can be unloaded upon them. Governor Bryan's popularity seems to have come from two sources—one the kinship to William J. Bryan, and the other that he has been able to make the farmers in Nebraska believe that he has the solution for curing their many ills. There is another commendable trait about the section of Kansas and Nebraska, and it is that they are quick to rectify mistakes when they discover that they have made them, and now that the hypocrisy of Charles W. Bryan, like that of his brother, William J., will be exposed, he will be sent to the back seat of the would-be's, there to sit and ruminate upon what might have been.

Colored preachers in the past wielded immense influence. During the days of slavery, the meanest of whites were often the most generous givers to the church. They encouraged their Negroes to go to church, and the preacher was their pet. Not because they loved the church, but because they wanted the slaves to think of heaven rather than of earth. The doctrine was always preached that God caused the Negroes to be brought to America so that they might receive the blessings of the gospel and the greater the trials and tribulations of this world, the longer the white robe, the more starry the crown and the greater the glory of the next. "Servants, obey your master," was the text of many a sermon. Even in our day, Tilman, Vardaman and that bunch would pause in the midst of their hellish denunciations of the Negro to contribute money for his church. The Ku Klux Klan even now make a big hit with some colored people by marching in church to give liberally of the coin they gather in such quantities from their saintly followers. Charity covers a multitude of sins, but in these days of enlightenment, it is not going to cover up the deeds of preachers who play false with their people by using them as tools, selling them to the highest bidder. The younger colored people are thinking, thinking deeply. Their shepherds will have to practice what they preach! Campaign times are drawing near and throughout the country white politicians are beginning to round up colored preachers of influence, who are purchaseable. The "thirty pieces of silver" are awaiting every ministerial Judas who can hand over his people for political crucifixion. We repeat, the young people have been to school, they are largely free from the superstitions of the old Negro slaves who believed that the voice of their preacher was the voice of God. They will gladly follow, upright, loyal, intelligent men in the pulpit, but they will no longer follow those "who don't come clean," every day in every way. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING Republican Nominees For President For Vice President CALVIN COOLIDGE MASSACHUSETTS CHARLES G. DAWES ILLINOIS THE HOPE OF COLORED AMERICANS Well, they say the Negroes are becoming independent; that they do not care much about being connected too closely with any party. They have a splendid chance to display some of that independence in the present political campaign. There are to be candidates galore, and the people are asked to pick their choice, and vote accordingly. So far as the candidates are concerned, they say, those who have followed their public and private careers, and kept close tab upon their public acts and doings, that they are the best the respective parties can afford, and each of the inside guards of the respective parties is claiming that their candidates are much superior in every particular to those of the other parties; so we think it best that a careful survey be made of all the candidates. the parties that are behind them, and the capabilities and sincerity of the candidates to accomplish the best good for the people. So far as The Tribune is concerned, we have been weighing the candidates, considering their records, pondering the possibilities of their actions, should they be elected, and we have decided that all things considered, the Republican candidates are as good as we could hope, and we shall take our chances with Coolidge and Dawes. In our estimation, they meet all of our wishes and requirements, and we think we see greater hope for the future of the Negro in this country with Coolidge and Dawes than we see in any of the others. In criticism of President Coolidge, they say he does not talk enough; but it is action we want, and not so much talk. President Harding was all the time talking, and all the time crushing the hopes of the Negro. Mr. Coolidge need never give himself any great trouble about talking, so he continues to recognize that all American citizens, regardless of race or creed, are equal and should enjoy all the rights and privileges guaranteed to American citizens. They have not been so awful loud in the proclamation, but every move seems to indicate the trend toward this pleasing consummation. Until something arises to change our views, we shall be doing, from now on, all we can possibly do to bring about the triumphant election of Coolidge and Dawes. KLANSMAN IN POLITICS That the Klansman will be an issue this fall is very evident from the many rumors one hears on the street corners now every day.

J. E. McCLAIN. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING INTRODUCING "Copper State" Butter to Phoenix and the Salt River Valley Howdy! "Copper State" Butter makes its bow to all you folks today. Its home—the new $50,000 Copper State Creamery at Six Points—will turn out this butter under the personal supervision of August Hegelund, a practical butter-maker of thirty years' experience. He will personally oversee the making of "Copper State"—its pasteurization and manufacture will be performed under top-notch standards of cleanliness and scientific precision. But merely to SAY that "Copper State" Butter is on a plane of its own is not sufficient. As the old adage says, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating"—and so Copper State Creamery Co. POLITICIANS WHO HEED THIS ADIVCE SHOULD WIN VOTES A few "don'ts" for campaign speakers of the other group whose deep solicitude for the political welfare of Negroes will soon be in evidence. In prefacing your remarks to an assemblage of colored people, please: Don't put too much stress on the remarkable progress we have made within the past 60 years; we know all about it; we are also further aware that with all of our progress, we have not yet arrived at the place where we are accorded a man's chance in American life as is given men of other races. Don't consume too much time telling us about Booker T. Washington and the wonderful story of his life; we would greatly prefer that you tell it to your children and friends to the end that they may know of it and it might cause them to place a higher estimate on the capabilities and worth of the Negro. Don't tell us that you know we are all republicans and are going to vote the straight republican ticket; there is a chance for you to be mistaken. Colored folks make mistakes the same as white people. Some may be voting with the democrats. Don't tell us any darky stories; the time has passed when that either interests or amuses us. If you should care to preface your remarks by touching upon matters of interest to our group you might mention how you stand on the question of human rights, not how your grand father stood, in days of the underground railroad, but what you are actually doing toward carrying out that philosophy of "The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man as taught by the Lowly Nazarene." When you get through prefacing and begin your speech, talk to us as you would any other bunch of intelligent Americans, and above all things do not refer to us as "you people." By properly observing the above "don'ts" you will have less difficulty in reaching the hearts and commanding the attention of your audience. In Chicago there is one ward which contains 44 per cent of the total colored population of the city, and within which our group constitutes 70 per cent of all the inhabitants. If anyone had suggested a sixty-year age limit for Bishops at either of the General Conferences, he would have been mobbed. "Copper to Pho Howdy! "Copper Stars folks today.

The saving thus effected will go toward increasing the price to be paid for your butter fat. AUGUST HEGELAND, President LOCAL NEWS Remodel Their Home Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Howard, of 726 West Grant street, have made a wonderful improvement on their home. The exterior has been newly painted, a bright attractive color, and the interior has been made very pretty by tinting and other modern improvements. Mrs. Howard now has given their home a new name and henceforth it will be known as "The Villa." It is one of the most attractive places in the west end. Things are going forward harmoniously at the First Colored Baptist church under the able leadership of Dr. E. E. Burkhalter and the future looks bright. This congregation hopes soon to erect a magnificent new church edifice on the site of the present structure. M. B. THOMAS MADDOCK REPUBLICAN For GOVERNOR And Action on the Colorado River.
