This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his rengious 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. 7. DR. R. R. MOTON TELLS NEED OF CO-OPERATION AMONG ALL CHURCHES Nashville, Tenn.-The need of trained ministers and an enlarged program for churches were emphasized by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and president of the National Negro Business League, in addressing the National Baptist convention, which was in session here at the Ryman auditorium, Friday evening. Dr. Moton pointed out to the large and appreciative audience which packed the auditorium, that in order for any church or denomination to do effective work it must co-operate with other churches and denominations. "Jesus Christ, Himself," declared Dr. Moton, "put the supreme emphasis upon this point of unity of those who believe in His name. In His last prayer, He used over and over this petition: 'That they may be as one as we are' and He gave this reason for desiring fundamental unity among His believers, that the world might believe that the Father sent Him." "As long," said Dr. Moton, "as the believers in Jesus are divided into opposing forces; as long as they find themselves unable to get together for practical purposes; as long as they look on one another with hostility and suspicion; as long as they are envious of each other and fighting and struggling against the success of one another; so long will the world be unconvinced that the kind of Christianity that they teach is good for the rest of the world." In referring to the influence which the Baptist church had exerted on the progress of the Negro race, the speaker said: "The fact remains that the Baptist church has been a great tower of strength and opportunity to the Negro race. It is the Baptist church that gave to the race its first opportunity for self direction. The freedom and democracy of the Baptist church have been the great training school for Negro leadership. For nearly one hundred and fifty years Negroes have had in the Baptist church their greatest opportunity to direct their own affairs; to manage their own business; to organize for co-operative effort; to prove their own capabilities. Some of the strongest men and women of our race found their earliest training in leadership through their activities as ministers, as deacons or as laymen in the church. These lessons they have carried into other fields and estbalished a close connection between the church and the life of our people. "Now this connection is a thing that the church itself should be anxious to keep up. To maintain this hold, however, it must direct its energies toward certain definite goals of achievement. In the first place the church must supply the people with strong efficient, upright leadership. All of the other professions are today competing with the ministry for influence as leaders and it is good to have it so. Every side of the life of our people must be developed and it will take competent leaders to bring this about. There is little danger that our preachers will cease to be the leaders among our people, but the important question is the type of leadership which they represent. In all the other fields the influence of definite practical training is being felt. Teachers, doctors, lawyers, business men are today the product of careful training and preparation. The church must set up and maintain the same ideals for its ministry if its influence for good is to remain. "Again, if the church would hold its influence among our people it must enlarge its program for service to the race. I am not here to say what this program must be. It will depend upon the circumstances surrounding the individual church: I can say, however, that that church is rendering the best service to the kingdom of God which finds a way in which to put every one of its members at some definite constructive task of making this world a better place in which to live." Dr. Moton further paid a glowing tribute to the progress which the National Baptist convention had made under the leadership of Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago, and pointed out as one of the indications of this continued advancement. Phoenix Tribune KEY 10 Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes NEGRO WINS $40,000 COURT CASE IN STATE OF FLORIDA, AVERS JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—In June, 1919, A. W. Cockrell, Jr., a prominent white lawyer of Jacksonville, Florida, instituted suit against S. D. McGill, a recognized colored attorney of the same city. The suit was to recover what was claimed to be a reasonable fee for legal service rendered in a previous suit. Two suits were filed, one on the Law side and one on the Chancery side. Each suit was for twenty thousand dollars. The McGills refused to pay the fee charged, on the grounds that the amount was unreasonable. When the Chancery suit was heard in the Circuit Court, the findings were in favor of the white attorney for the fee claimed, twenty thousand dollars. McGill, dissatisfied, appealed the case to the Supreme Court which dismissed the bill on the grounds that there was no equity in it—Victory No. 1. The case at Law was next heard in the lower court with the same results as the case in Chancery. The Supreme Court was again appealed to, and the decision of the Circuit Court was reversed on the grounds that it was excessive and unreasonable.—Victory No. 2. The McGills are to be congratulated upon their success in winning this notable case. Many similar cases have been brought by Negroes thru out the South and most of them have closed against the side of fairness and justice, because no one persisted as did Attorney McGill. GEORGIANS SHOOT BLACK, THEN CREMATE HIS BODY IS LATEST GEORGIANS SHOOT BLACK, THEN CREMATE HIS BODY IS LATEST VALDOSTO. Ga.—Warren Woods, alleged to have shot and killed a white city official, was killed by a mob of white people and his bullet-riddled body was carried a short distance from the center of the town to a skirt of woods where a funeral pyre was erected by the irate whites and the body cremated while the crowd vented its indignant feeling in a wild exultation at the alleged cold-blooded murder of the city official. Woods was employed as a house servant at the home of J. L. Horne and it is said that Woods created a sort of disturbance during Sunday morning which attracted the attention of the city marshal, who threatened to place Woods under arrest, and then an argument ensued in which Woods is alleged to have taken a pistol and killed the officer. The shooting attracted a large crowd of people on their way to church. Instead of going to church the people engaged in a wild orgy of killing and cremation. INNOCENT MAN FEIGNS DEATH, ESCAPES KLAN IN WEST VIRGINIA The attempted murderers of an innocent Negro were traced to St. Louis, where they were arrested a few days ago and sent back to Fairmont, W. Va., to answer a charge of assault with intent to kill. The two are said to have led a group of Klansmen who attacked the Negro. The victim. Daniel Washington, a colored chef in a Fairmont hotel, told how he feigned death with a bullet wound in his side, while a hooded mob conducted a ceremonial over him on a lonely farm. He said he was shot when he attempted to escape the mob, after he had been enticed to the farm by a white woman, who proved to be Mrs. C. R. Brown. Washington became friendly with Mrs. Brown, who was a waitress at the hotel where he worked. She did not resent the chef's attention but instead arranged for a tryst at a place that she termed home. Washington found the place to be an isolated old farm house. When he sought admittance, he was suddenly surrounded by a band of hooded and robed men. He tried to escape and was shot. He was then dragged into PHDENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 $100,000 IF COLORED BOY GETS A. B. DEGREE FROM U. OF SO. CAL LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Brice Taylor, famous athlete of the University of Southern California, and ranked as one of the best athletes on the Pacific coast, has been named as the sole beneficiary in a will left by a cousin of a $100,000 estate. The will stipulates that Taylor must graduate from the University of Southern California with the Bachelor of Arts degree and under no other condition will he receive the money. At present Taylor is a sophomore at the University and well known on the whole coast in the athletic and social world. The fund is held in trust by Williams and Jones, attorneys-at-law. FLAPPER GOT BOBBED HAIR IDEA FROM ZULUS, SAY THOSE WHO KNOW Philadelphia, Pa.—Startling things reveal themselves every day but the latest and most astonishing revelation has been made by a missionary who claims that the flapper got her bobbed hair idea from the Zulus. Paris, the modeshop of the gentle female, is not always the source of popular styles for women. The bobbed hair, short skirt practice was present in Africa over thirty years ago. Col. J. Alister Smith. a missionary, told of his experience among the Africans. Many modes and characteristics that have recently become the rage of the modern woman, he spoke of as being prevalent in Africa when he first took charge of his mission there in 1890. He told of giving a large, fine looking Zulu woman a dress. The waist-band proved too small and she tied the waist part of the dress around her neck, thus bringing the bottom of the skirt up just below her knees. Like Bobo's first taste of burnt pig, the short dress took the fancy of the native belles, and became the mark of good appearance among them just at a time when the long full bottom skirt was the style in all of the rest of the world. The eye of some crafty designer fell upon the unusual charm of the fad, and the humble African's creation became a world's style under the label "Modiste de Paris." Short trimmed hair has long been another custom among the Africans. The practice is said by Colonel Smith to have originated with the native bride. "I knew a man," he said, "had forty-two wives and 172 children. Every one of his wives before her marriage shaved the front and back of her head and put a large marriage ring around the middle of her hair remaining. This middle hair was then tied and trained to stand upward and red clay and pig fat was rubbed in it. The effect was a handsome headdress similar to a modern Billy Burke," or "shingled," according to the way that the hair grew." Short hair, like short skirts, was very becoming to the native girl and finally came to attention of fashion experts, who introduced it to the modern girl with tell-tale effects. Col. Smith inferred that the women of the world are obviously unconscious of the indebtedness to the African maiden for many of their most exquisite styles. a nearby ravine, where he feigned death while a ceremonial was held over his body. After the masked men had departed, he crawled to the road and was taken to a hospital by a passing motorist. Mrs. Brown and her husband were indicted for the shooting. Authorities say they have confessed and revealed the names of the other members of the mob. Seven men were arrested in connection with the shooting, including Rev. Jones, who is a prominent Fairmont minister and who is believed to be an official of the klan. SAN ANTONIO, Texas—The legal heir of Lewis Raymond, Negro, who died in the army, is being sought BLACK BALLOTS WITH SEPARATE BOXES FOR NEGROES SUGGESTED CHICAGO—The time of political ideas is on. Louise R. McKay of West Haven, Fla., white and resourceful, comes forth with an idea of having black and white ballot boxes. She sends a telegram to Republican National Committee which says: "Let me offer an original suggestion before the campaign gets too hot. Since ballots are on white paper with names of candidates in black lettering, why not make change for colored voters by using black ballots with white lettering? Separate boxes for ballots require less time in counting, also show how colored people vote. Have mentioned this to scores. All approve. Am lady who championed soldiers' priority rights bill through Congress signed by President Harding, April 6th, 1922. Can coin soldier votes for any party." In reply, Geroge W. Lee makes the following reply: "Reference is made to your telegram of August 23. I am sorry to say that I cannot persuade myself as the others you mentioned, to see this question as they see it. I acknowledge the originality of your suggestion but I doubt its feasibility. I am unable to see any contribution that such a plan will make to the success of the party in November. I would rather think of some plan that would stimulate registration among all the people than to think of some cure before the malades that you mention have actually set in. The Republican party cannot approve at this time of any plan that smack of discrimination. The aim in this election is not to determine a number of votes cast by each group by a dual system of voting. It would be better to concentrate on some plan that would make impossible the "burrow systems"—"the shot gun methods" that are used at the polls in preventing good republicans from casting an honest ballot for Coolidge and Dawes. "America is the home of many races and many tongues. To encourage caste and race discrimination is a dangerous policy. The fundamentals of Republicanism have been maintained by a closed rank formation of all the races. In all the wars in defense of our country's ideals the question of race was submerged and the only qualification was to be an American citizen. Hand in hand these people of all races marched forward as American citizens and planted our standard on the foremost frontiers of the enemy. Therefore, in peace there should be but one standard in all of our pursuits. The white man needs the colored man, the Jew needs the Gentile. The spirit of Washington and Lincoln hover over us all. "If we are to maintain in our land a government of Common Sense, double standards and special privileges must be destroyed. The law in White Haven, Florida, as in Boston, Massachusetts, must be an expression of the consent of all the people and deal with all the people alike. To adopt white and black ballots, as you suggest, would drive thousands of colored from our standard. The colored man of today is no longer wedded to party; he is thinking in a more liberal vein, and to offend him at this stage of the campaign would mean indignation meetings everywhere, and a larger number voting the democratic ticket." COLORED WOMAN SAID TO BE WORTH FORTUNE $500,000,000 ESTIMATE COLORED WOMAN SAID TO BE WORTH FORTUNE $500,000,000 ESTIMATE PORTLAND, Ore.—Mrs. Ida Pillsbury, who is claimed to be the owner of the Pillsbury Flour Mills at the Leray Hill Minneapolis, is now said to be the richest colored woman in the world. She was recently said to be worth $500,000,000. by the San Antonio Red Cross Chapter. Raymond took out $10,000 insurance policy when he entered the army.

L. Ds., D. Ds. and Ph. Ds. were denounced in glaring terms by William V. Tucker, a high office holder in the International Bible Students' Association, which ended its three days' session here last week. The mass meeting was held in the Dunbar Theatre Sunday afternoon. Mr. Tucker quoted passages from the bible to back his denunciation. He quoted the L. L. Ds. as "Lying, Living Devils," and that followers of the 600 or more denominations were work-horses for the leaders of their flock, who were afraid to preach the real gospel. He also predicted that towards the end of 1925 another carnage, such as the one that happened in 1918 will come to pass. BISHOP CAREY SEES BRIGHT FUTURE FOR WESTERN UNIVERSITY Bishop A. J. Carey, newly appointed bishop over the fifth district of the A. M. E. church, which includes Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, Utah and Nevada, at a recent meeting of the trustees of Western University, operated by the African Methodist Episcopal church and the State of Kansas at Quindaro, was unanimously elected president of the Board of Trustees, and outlined plans to make the institution one of the best of the race. "Because our people are coming into this state in ever larger numbers, year by year, more attention must be and will be paid to their education," said the bishop, "and Western University must do its full part. The institution now gives a good academic college course, but we must give an even better course. The great state of Kansas will do its part and the great African Methodist Episcopal church. which I have the honor to represent will do its part. Out here in the great new west, with its thriving population of ambitious black people, as well as ambitious white people, we will build one of America's greatest universities. As we have built a great university at Wilberforce; as we have built great institutions in the south, dotting every state in that section of the country, such as Allen University at Columbia, S. C.; Morris Brown University at Aatlanta, Ga.; Edward Waters College at Jacksonville, Fla.; Paul Quinn College at Waco, Tex.; Shorter University at Little Rock, Ark.; Campbell University at Jackson, Miss. Kittrell College at Kittrel, N. C.; Payne College in Alabama, Turner College at Shelbyville, Tenn., and others, we will build even greater institutes in the west. We must have the best in equipment, the best in teachers. Our standard of efficiency at Quindaro is not one whit lower than at the University of Kansas, and our people are measuring up to it." In his effort the Bishop has been assured the support of the entire board and the people generally, regardless of denomination. "For," said the bishop, "while I am an African Methodist to the manner born, I am a Negro and have the interest of every member of my race at heart, regardless of church affiliation, or even if he has no church affiliation; for when the mob starts after my people it does not ask to what church you belong. And I am an American and have an interest in all Americans, white and black. We must live here in peace, equal under the constitution, and my people must measure up and do the work and have the rights of true Americans." A Negro woman, who lives in Louisiana, was named by Raymond as beneficiary. She claimed to be Raymond's aunt, but an investigation disclosed that she was no kin at all, and therefore not eligible to inherit the money. An attempt was made to trace Raymond's relationship. The only definite information secured showed that Raymond was born in San Antonio, December 1, 1897, so there is no record of his birth certificate filed in San Antonio. Baltimore, Md.—One of the most important things done at the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church held at Louisville, Ky., was in providing for a budget for the church. Budgets for families, budgets for clubs, budgets for cities and for states, and even for the United States have been discussed so that the country is pretty generally acquainted with what is meant by the term budget; but a budget for a colored church is up to date and an unheard of thing. The African Methodists, if they are able to budget their whole system, which includes 7,000 churches and nearly a million members with 11 different departments and 18 bishops will be doing a great work not only for their church but for their race. The chief criticism of the church is that its methods of finance are so haphazard that they do not know what they want and have no definite plans for getting it. Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, a man with experience in governmental affairs and diplomatic service, as well as a bishop in the African Methodist church, is at the head of the budget committee, and is in touch with those whose business it is to make budgets and sometime in the near future the budget system will be installed in the African Methodist Episcopal church. Already the budget idea has brought increased confidence and finances will be increased and raised with less difficulty than in the past; for the budget system will put the church on a firm business basis. ZULU SELECTS WIFE FOR HER ABILITY AS A DANCER, SAY REPORTS In Zulu land in Africa, the dance is the first and last consideration when it comes to match-making, courtship, and finally marriage. In fact, dancing is a specific requirement for a girl who wishes to find a husband. It is the dance which gives the young native of this country a chance to make up his mind which of the Zulu girls he prefers. The young men, bedecked with feathers and plumes, and the young women, resplendent in all the beads on which they can lay their hands, line up on two sides, the men on one side and the girls on the other, as for a Virginia reel. WHITE SOUTHERNER LEAVES FORTUNE TO HIS-COLORED MAID Lexington, Ky.—Death has disclosed another southern romance put up in the true style of the old South. Colonel John T. Hughes, aged 83, one of the wealthiest white farmers in central Kentucky, died here last week, leaving the bulk of his $500,000 estate to three colored servants. The servants are Mrs. Ellen Davis, about 60 years old, his housekeeper, her son Robert Henry Hughes, and Alexander Ranklin, the Colonel"s valet. Important thing to note is that Hughes was a bachelor, according to his friends and never married and that the son of his housekeeper was given the Colonel's name. Rumor is that a common law arrangement existed between the co-role who loved each other dearly, but who never wed on account of the difference between their races. The Hughes estate includes about 1,000 acres of the best land in the Blue Grass country. It flows the Lexington-Paris road. This house to gether with 293 acres of land goes to Mrs. Davis who gets also the contents which include antiques and modern furnishings, the farming utensils wagons, stock, etc. Robert Henry Hughes, the colored son, gets the Sudly farm on another pike with 160 acres worth $300 an acre. Alexander Ranklin, the Colonel's valet, who served the Colonel for 40 years was given the Ware farm containing 96 acres worth at least $50,000 for his natural life time and at Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education wealth. These are nee to the growth of our race, but wealth there can be leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress.— Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year BOB CHURCH KICKED OUT OF REPUBLICAN PARTY IN TENNESSEE Washington, D. C.—The two outstanding announcements of last were the ousting of R. R. ("Bob") Church of Memphis, Tennessee, by the State Republican party of Tennessee, a pure illy white affair. The other was that of Attorney Wm. H. Lewis, of Boston, former assistant attorney general under President Taft, that he was through with the Republican party and would support John W. Davis for President. Both of these men are well known nationally, and their actions will have a deal of influence with many colored voters. The ousting of Mr. Church and Mr. Fite is a very raw deal for the Republicans to pull in any state and especially in a state classed as doubtful. Some of the Republican leaders realize that there is a great deflection of the colored voters from the G. O. P. Others figure that if the deflection is not placated, it will be offset by the white women. But they lose sight of the fact that colored women are interested in voting themselves and will cast a big vote in November. The lily whites of Tennessee made a bold front and have insulted the colored voters of that state. These voters have their opportunity to resent that insult and will give the G. O. P. ticket the black eye in November. Since Mr. Taylor, national committeeman of Tennessee and congressman from the 2nd district of that state, has been a frequent visitor at the White House, it appears that this was done with knowledge of the White House. As soon as they ousted Church and Fite the lily whites held a Republican banquet attended by H. B. Lindsey, the Republican candidate for the Senate; T. F. Peek, candidate for governor and J. Will Taylor, candidate for congress, fresh from a visit to the White House. Every practical politician knows the Negro is the strongest asset of the Republican party. It is the keystone of the building and with that stone crumbling the collapse of the building may be expected. But for the solidarity and loyalty of the colored voter, the Republican party would be a minority party in possibly twenty important states of the north. Hence every Negro vote cast for the Democrats counts double. The reasons there is a stronger tendency toward Davis than any other Democrat since the civil war are these: First: It was Davis who knocked out the Oklahoma disfranchisement amendment before the supreme court. Second: Davis threw his weight against the Jim Crow law for West Virginia. Third: Davis declared strongly against the Ku Klux Klan and Coolidge has kept silent. Fourth: The indentification in so many states of the Republican organizations with the Klan. Fifth: Failure of the Republican congress to pass anti-lynching law which was promised in the platform of 1920. Sixth: The continuing of the out rageous segregation in the various departments in Washington. Seventh: : The failure of the Republicans to enforce the 18th, 14th and 15th amendments, thereby acquiescent in the disfranchisement of 7,000,000 Negroes. Eighth:: The Negro has become very impatient over promises without performances. He is realizing his value to the Republican party and will not be the gullible follower of that party as he has been. Ranklin's death, the farm according to the will, will revert to Robert Henry Hughes, whom the Colonel styles in his will as "the son of my old colored servant, Ellen Davis, who has worked for me faithfully for over forty years." Colonel Hughes never went around about the neighbors. The bluest blood of the South is said to have flowed in his viens. He knew few people although everybody knew him. His colored family is likewise quite reticent. Mrs. Davis is now living in a rather plain home in Chestnut street in the colored section of this town. She refused a photographer permission to make a picture of her.

No organization worthy of the name ment in political organizations. Pursuicy to the successful conduct of this a great civic virtue. Every citizen, be loyal to it and actively en. This is a government of parties. It is the only practical responsible form of popular government yet devised. There can be no elimination of the party system unless we are to have a complete change in the form and character of our government. There can be no such thing as a substitution of personal responsibility for party responsibility in public affairs. For each citizen to look to some one official for the responsibility of the conduct of the government rather than to a majority party would mean political chaos. Under such conditions there would be no way to fix responsibility, and there would be no one from whom all the people could demand an accounting for the manner in which their affairs were administered. As it is now, and as it should be, a political party standing for certain principles is commissioned by the people to enact those policies into law and to administer public affairs in accord therewith. To assume and discharge the duties of public administration a political party must have effective organization. In this respect it does not differ from any successful private or public enterprise. The success of an industrial plant, a business concern, a banking institution, or a public service corporation, depends upon the character of the organization which manages its affairs. The same is true of a religious, fraternal or social organization. The success of the Liberty loan drives depended wholly upon the efficiency of the organization conducting them. No matter how splendid the purpose, how desirable the object, or how praiseworthy the policies of a public movement, it is necessary that it be well organized to attain its ends. So a political party must have a strong and sound organization in addition to strong candidates and sound policies. This is necessary in order to wage campaigns. It is doubly essential when a party is intrusted with the administration of the government, for party loyalty, party regularity and party organization is then needed to meet responsibilities, to redeem pledges made by the party to the people and wisely to manage the public's business. As in any organization worthy of the name, loyalty is the first requirement in political organizations. Party loyalty is not only necessary to the successful conduct of party organization, but it is a great civic virtue. Every citizen should belong to some party, be loyal to it and actively participate in its organization.

The great political parties have nominated their candidates for the presidency and are preparing for the battle. Headquarters have been opened in New York and Chicago respectively, and preparation is being made to send out hundreds of eloquent speakers and tons of red-hot literature. A good deal of the time will be spent by the speakers in denouncing each other's platform and abusing the other. The Democratic party has announced that its slogan will be "Down with corruption by putting the Republican party out of business." Whenever a political party is out of office and a quadrennial election comes around, they manufacture this significant slogan, "Turn the rascals out!" If this party is successful, it holds the boards for four years and is compelled to listen to the same old song: "Turn the rascals out!" Thus it happens that there are rascals in and rascals out; rascals up and rascals down. It is exceedingly difficult, therefore, to tell just who the rascals are. The colored people should not spend any time in abusing any party, or discussing at length the platform of any party. They should organize thoroughly, study the problems seriously and make an effort to obtain that condition of things which will be most advantageous to them as citizens. They should take note of the candidates for office and recall if possible what their attitude has been toward our people. They should vote for those candidates who believe in the enforcement of the law without regard to race, color or previous conditions of servitude. They should be loyal to the party whose representatives make bold to declare in favor of equal rights to all men. The Rooseveltian theory is "All men up, and no man down." The people of our race should stand hard by that principle, no matter how great the inducements that are offered to swerve them from a sense of duty to themselves. It must be remembered that the ballot, the right of franchise, is the greatest boon to mortals given. It is the poor man's weapon of defense. It is the most potential weapon that a poor man can wield. It is exceedingly criminal, therefore, for a man who is of voting age and otherwise qualified to be careless and unconcerned in the discharge of this important duty. Thorough organization is essential. The leaders should be observant and cautious in this respect and do their share of the preliminary work in a manner that will prove a credit to themselves and their constituents.

While the Negro is irrevocably opposed to the Ku Klux Klan organization, and would like to show Mr. Davis that he appreciates the stand he has taken against that un-American tribe, he can not forget that the party whose nominee he is has never failed to advocate and support all the measures which aim to deny and suppress the civil and political rights of the Negro; and it is that limb of the party which stands for these inequalities which controls the affairs of the party, and there is no man in the party, from Mr. Davis down, who has had the courage to demand that the Negro American citizen be given his equal rights without any equivocations. There has been a tendency on the part of the Negro group to question the sincerity of the Republican party, and to feel outraged at the lack of manhood to enforce the laws which would help the Negro to enjoy his constitutional rights; but they have attributed that fault to the kind of man who has heretofore administered the affairs of government, and not to those who took orders. President Coolidge has not lost a single chance to make it known that he is for the equal rights of all men, without regard to race or creed, and the only question in the mind of the average Negro is whether Mr. Coolidge has the sincerity of his convictions—and upon this point there does not seem to exist a particle of doubt. No one has any reasonable idea that Mr. La Follette has a ghost of a show of winning the election on an independent ticket, and even should such an unusual thing happen, it is impossible to imagine that Mr. La Follette could enforce his mandates, and what sort of men and women he would call to his aid to help enforce his policies. REPUBLICAN ECONOMY their management of the nation's business years since they assumed control of the war the chief claim of the Republicans for another four-year term. During their visit the Republicans have reduced the public loan, carrying with it a reduction in annual $100,000,000, installed a budget system annual expenditures have been cut abo- tage them down to approximately the pre- put seven and a half billions of public disturbance to industry, and improved the debt to such an extent that interest on it reduced from 6 per cent to $2 3/4 per cent. highly efficient management has made a nation totaling $1,250,000,000. No local government in the country can be relatively comparable with that of the under Republican auspices. And the end of the best estimates available indicate a 10,000 at the end of the present fiscal President Coolidge has served notice on all executive bureaus that he expects the tenditures for this year by $83,000,000, to $3,000,000, exclusive of payments on the prospective surplus to $108,000,000 he remembered, has been attained in spite of soldiers bonus and other items of expected in the budget for this fiscal year. He declared by the Republican National Party surpassed in the history of public finance Democratic promises might be, of authors to carry them out if given the ability to excel the Republican record of old be the height of folly to interrupts now in force, and to remove from the men who are so successfully bringing economic chaos of the Democratic regime return of the Democratic party to power probably result in increased expenditure while a continuance of the Republican further cuts in all of those items. The result of the primary elections, which should not dampen the ardor of loyalty, your favorites did not win in every one and work for the success of the Republican party is the people's party rather than the party. The principles upon ded make it the G. O. P. that it is, and these principles. Their management of the nation's business in the three and a half years since they assumed control of the government constitutes the chief claim of the Republicans for a return to power for another four-year term. During their period of administration the Republicans have reduced the public debt by $2,432,000,000, carrying with it a reduction in annual interest charges of over $100,000,000, installed a budget system, through which the annual expenditures have been cut about $2,100,000,000, bringing them down to approximately the pre-war level, refunded about seven and a half billions of public obligations without any disturbance to industry, and improved the credit of the government to such an extent that interest on Federal loans has been reduced from 6 per cent to $2\frac{3}{4}$ per cent, the pre-war rate. This highly efficient management has made possible reductions in taxation totaling $1,250,000,000. No local government in the country can show an economy record relatively comparable with that of the national government under Republican auspices. And the end is not yet. Even though the best estimates available indicate a surplus of about $25,000,000 at the end of the present fiscal year on June 30, next, President Coolidge has served notice on the heads of the Federal executive bureau that he expects them to cut estimated expenditures for this year by $83,000,000, thus bringing them within $3,000,000, exclusive of payments on the public debt, and raising the prospective surplus to $108,000,000. This result, it must be remembered, has been attained in spite of the huge cost of the soldiers bonus and other items of expenditures not contemplated in the budget for this fiscal year. As declared by the Republican National Platform, the record is "unsurpassed in the history of public finance." No matter how sincere Democratic promises might be, or how determined their authors to carry them out if given the opportunity, it is impossible to excel the Republican record of fiscal efficiency. It would be the height of folly to interrupt the retrenchment programs now in force, and to remove from office the party and the men who are so successfully bringing the country from the economic chaos of the Democratic regime. A return of the Democratic party to power at Washington would probably result in increased expenditures, debts, and taxes, while a continuance of the Republican administration assures further cuts in all of those items. The result of the primary elections, while disappointing to some, should not dampen the ardor of loyal Republicans. Although your favorites did not win in every contest, be a good sport and work for the success of the Republican ticket. The Republican party is the people's party and no nominee is bigger than the party. The principles upon which this party is founded make it the G. O. P. that it is, and no individual can alter these principles. ENTERING SCHOOL ousands of our youth, boys and girls, will soon be starting to school.

We hope that every one who enters school or college will be filled with the determination to do his level best and to take full advantage of the opportunities offered for securing a liberal education. We hope all who can will secure a college education in order that they may be the better equipped for life. Of course, there are many who will not be able to do this; but every boy and girl should be ambitious to go as far as he can, and wherever there is a will there is a way. But whether one is or is not able to go through high school and college, he should make up his mind to be thorough in his work. Education is foundation laying and if there is any weakness or defect in the foundation the superstructure or building erected thereon is correspondingly defective or weak. So, let every course be well and strongly laid. ARINUONA INDUSTRIAL REVIEW Yuma—Local stockyards closed for short period, reopened.

While crossing the river Styx, the departed spirit of an ardent motorist engaged the Boatman in conversation and to his amazement was told by that worthy that although there were no motor cars in Heaven, there were plenty of them for all who went to the Other Place.

It was finally so arranged and as he stepped up to Satan's fireplace he was overjoyed to see a great many high-priced cars parked in every available space. With a beaming face the spirit of the motorist walked up to old Nick and asked which car he could have. "Take your pick, said Satan, with a mysterious chuckle and a twinkle in his eyes.

SAYS YUMA MEN CAN MAKE MONEY IN HAND WITH NO. ARIZONANS Holbrook, Ariz., Sept. 12, 1924. Dear "Old Street Stuff":—We have just returned from our sojourn through New Mexico and found "The Herald" awaiting us, the contents of which we devoured very eagerly and note with satisfaction that the people of Yuma have been enjoying pleasant weather as well. We have found the roads on our trip, generally in a very satisfactory condition, taking into consideration the fact that this is the "rainy season" and they at their worst. So far the rains have been light but feed is plentiful and cattle look good, and cattlemen estimate that there will be between 20,000 and 30,000 feeders, two and three year-olds shipped from this point this season. Formerly, these feeders have been going direct to California, but because of the quarantine which excludes everything except stock ready for the bloc, stockmen are wondering where they will find a market for them this season, and I would suggest to the Yuma valley farmers that this is the opportune time to cooperate with northern Arizona stockmen and thereby convert their alfalfa into beef, at a good margin of profit; to cooperate and have the stock and northern Arizona stockmen are ready Yuma valley farmers have the alfalfa. With very best wishes for the success of the Herald, from THE ROBBINS, Per J. W. Robbins. LOVELORN COLUMN WIDOW SAYS SHE WOULD BE A FOOL AGAIN! Will you please help me decide an important question in my life. "I am offered marriage—by two. One is handsome, poor and adorable. I long for a taste of wealth, and yet—how can I turn from love? What shall I do? MELBA. * * * Melba, my girl, you face that which every girl, sometime in her life must face. From the pages of Experience, I shall give you your answer frankly. Whichever man you marry, you will in all likelihood be miserable—for that, alas! is life. In a few short years, either one of the men whom you mention will grow cold toward you. When this happens, if you have married the rich man, you will have—ashes—and wealth. If you have married the poor man you will have—ashes—and children. If you want the candid opinion of a fool; choose misery, and money. Not alone for the sake of the money, but to escape the deeper thrust; for you will find it easier to watch the zest of your unloved one cool, than to helplessly observe the adored one turn from you when you are no longer young and interesting. I am sorry to say this, for it is cruel. But— Were I to marry again it would be for love; for memories—even bitter memories—are dearer than only wealth—and ashes. THE WEST YUMA WIDOW. Furthermore, if it is a fact that men are the architects of their own destinies, perhaps this accounts for so many strange upper stories. What this town needs is fewer reserved parking spaces and more cotton socks that won't tear at the heels.

COME IN TODAY HUMPHRY TO ENFORCE ANTI-JOHNSON GRASS ORDINANCE IN VALLEY According to announcement made by County Agent Guy Hamilton, Harry Humphry, of Somerton, has been employed by the board of supervisors to enforce the county noxious weed ordinance and is now at work looking over fields reported to be infested with Johnson grass. Most of the farmers who are unfortunate enough to have Johnson grass on their farms have been very careful this year to see that none was permitted to mature seed. However, probably due to the recent hot weather, a few have become lax in their follow up work with the result that there are now a few fields in the valley containing Johnson grass that is heading and if not cut at once will mature seed in a few days. Johnson grass should never be allowed to reach this size on account of the fact that its tittary root development only starts when the plant has just about reached the booting stage, when it is kept close to the ground its vitality is slowly but assuredly being constantly lessened. Johnson grass has been and can be entirely eradicated through systematic cultured practices. Regardless of what the future plans are, though it will pay everyone with Johnson grass to cut it off close with a hoe or in case the fields are badly infested, plow the fields at this time. All who have Johnson grass or neighbors that have it are urged to turn in such farms to Mr. Humphry, the county agent or a member of the board of supervisors. Thorough cooperation of all parties is necessary if the grass is to be kept from spread this fall. YUMA HAS BEST GRAZING LAND IN ARIZONA NOW Harry G. Boyce, president of the Arizona Cattle Growers' association, has returned to Phoenix, after a several days' visit in Yuma and the valley. He was well pleased with the feeding conditions here, which he declared are better than elsewhere in Arizona. Mr. Boyce stated that a drouth, reaching throughout the northern part of the state, has caused some alarm, but cattle are still in good condition. While here Mr. Boyce was a guest of J. W. Fisher, cattleman of the Yuma valley. He is personally interested in a large amount of cattle pastured in this section. GOVERNOR MAY BE FORCED TO ISSUE BONDS, REPORTED Tax anticipation bonds to carry the state over until the first tax funds are received early in November probably will be issued during the latter part of this month, according to information given out at the state capitol. Although the details remain yet to be worked out by the state funding and loan commission, the amount of bonds to be issued at that time, it was said, probably will be approximately $500,000, bearing the rate of interest prevailing at that time, and payable within two and one-half months. The rate of interest on the last issue of bonds was $4½ per cent. The funding and loan commission is composed of Governor George W. P. Hunt, State Treasurer, Wayne Hubbs and State Auditor Richard Ramsey. Max says he can forgive a girl for being homely if she has a pretty sister. The West Yuma widow has had a big fuss with her sweetheart again. She denies that she deceived him. "On the other hand," declares the widow, "he deceived me. He told me he was going out of town and didn't." * * * What this town needs is fewer reserved parking spaces and more raids on bootleggers and alleged gambling dems. * * * Whit Bang says a tip is a sum of money given to somebody because you're afraid he will be offended for not having been paid for something you haven't asked him to do. * * * Oscar is so dumb he thinks a weather bureau is something new in furniture. * * * Oscar, explaining why Methuselah lived so long, says it is his private opinion that some woman must have married him for his money.

Pat Beats Case Pat's wife had been ailing for a long time and the doctor who was treating her didn't seem to be effecting any improvement in her health. Finally Pat took his wife to another doctor, and, after the examination, asked him if he thought he could cure her. Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Pat said: "Doctor, Ol'll make a bargain wid ye. You treat me woife an Ol'll give ye $200 wither ye kill her or cure her." The medico agreed and commenced treating Pat's wife. In a short time the poor woman died, and the doctor presented his bill. Pat refused to pay, so the doctor sued him. When the case came up in court, the doctor told of his agreement with Pat. The latter was then called to the stand and said: "Whin th' docther comminst treatin' me woife, Ol promist him $200 if he killed her or cured her. Now docther, did ye cure her?"

Van Denburgh for JUSTICE OF THE PEACE East Phoenix Precinct Lawyer Republican Ex-Service Man M. MEETING MME. WALKER AGENTS CLOSES ITS 8TH ANNUAL SESSION MEETING MME. WALKER AGENTS CLOSES ITS 8TH ANNUAL SESSION One of the most unique meetings witnessed in all the history of New York was the 8th Annual Convention of Walker Agents just closed at the Abyssinian Baptist church. Three hundred and seventy-five delegates, from almost every state and from three foreign countries, were registered. The Convention opened Wednesday morning, August 13th at 10 A. M., with a song and scripture reading led by the Convention Chapain, Rev. J. S. Jenkins, of Dallas, Texas. On the above mentioned evening a brilliant program was rendered, at which time welcome addresses were made by Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor Abyssinian Baptist church; Hon. Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age; Mrs. M. C. Lawton, president, Empire State Federation of Women's clubs, and Mr. Thomas E. Taylor, executive secretary, New York Young Men's Christian Association. Musical numbers were rendered by Mme. Frazier Robinson, Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, Miss Olive Hopkins and Messrs. L. Lloyd Hickman and Chauncey Northern. Attorney Robert Lee Brokenburr of Indianapolis, Ind., spoke on Mme. C. J. Walker—'A Victory and a Prophecy'; Mrs. Mae Walker Jackson and Attorney F. B. Ransom, General Manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Co., spoke on the progress of the company and awarded $1,650 in cash prizes to agents leading in special work during the year. Various features of entertainment were furnished the delegates by the Mme. C. J. Walker Agents Association of New York City, a dance and reception on Friday evening at the beautiful Renaissance Casino and the moonlight ride on the picturesque Hudson River on Saturday evening. Epochal in its importance, historical for its uniqueness and singular for its impressiveness, was the pilgrimage made by those delegates and friends who swelled the number to 400, to the grave of Mme. C. J. Walker at Woodhaven Cemetery, where memorial ceremonies were conducted, tributes paid Mme. Walker and wreathes placed upon her grave. The occasion was indeed significant for it was another proof that our group honors its living and reveres its dead. The Eighth Annual National Convention of Mme. C. J. Walker Agents goes down as a milestone in Afro-American business life and memorable for its large attendance and good work accomplished.

Deborah rose timidly to her feet, her heart beginning to beat once more, but not with fear. Forth from the darkness came the low whinney of a horse in sudden recognition, while as instantly that horrid shadow took both shape and form. It was a horse, saddled, bridled, the rein trailing along the sand, one of the two animals stamped by the shot which had killed Kelleen. He had sensed her coming in the desert night, and was even then dumbly welcoming her. The girl went forward slowly, doubtfully. fearful of again startling the animal into flight, but he remained quiet, sniffing at her as she drew near, and she finally put hand on the dangling rein. It was the horse Kelleen had ridden, and Deborah hld her face in his mane and cried softly, while he turned and rubbed his muzzle against her shoulder in silent greeting. It seemed too good to be true; as though God had led her every step of the way. The sudden reaction left her weak as a child. Yet she must go on; there was more cause now than ever before to go on—more hope of success. She made the effort twice before she succeeded in dragging herself up into the saddle, but the horse stood patiently, making no attempt to break away. Once there the girl's strength came back, and with it her determination. All was still, deathly still; not a breath of air touched her cheek; the dense night shut them in. Carefully she located the only star she knew; to her mind it seemed utterly wrong in its position, yet she was faithful to it. Half afraid, yet not daring to venture otherwise, she drew the horse about and rode south. The night seemed endless, the black desert eternal. There were times when the girl lost consciousness of everything, except that shining North Star ever at her back. It was her one guide and hope; through it she retained sanity and faith. In that way lay Box canyon and those waiting troopers. She dare not ride fast, knowing not what puffs were ahead, the course irregular, up and down. The horse picked his way intelligently, the reins lying loose, except as she occasionally held him inexorably to the southward. She swayed wearily in the saddle, clinging to the high pommel for support, unable to see, yet aware that they crossed shallow ravines, and found passage occasionally along ridges of outcropping rock, and then advanced more easily for long spaces over wide expanses of sand, noiselessly as a specter. It was hard to keep awake, to concentrate, to remember—she had to struggle to realize this was not all a dream. Then, after seemingly endless hours, the dawn came. Would she ever again forget it? She hardly knew at first what it was. Riding drearly with lowered head, she became dimly aware of a change, a lightening of the gloom about, a dull grayness tinging faintly the black wall of the surrounding night. Almost as she wondered the daylight came, wan and spectral at first, widening her vista on a gray circle as the stars slowly faded from out a multicolored sky. To the left a brightening white light shot up in long streamers, touching with more gaudy tinges the edges of fleecy clouds, while in the other direction a purple haze blended with the deeper shadows along the horizon. It was the coming of the sun, rising majestically above the far-off rim of the desert, and she was still moving southward; through the long night hours she had kept the faith. Yet there was little of hope, of encouragement. In the picture unrolled before her. Her view gradually spread out in wider and wider circle, but with no relief to its drear sameness or monotony. Sand, leagues upon leagues of sand, stretched wherever her weared eyes turned, leveled by the wind, or cast upward in rounded hillocks, but ever gray, depressing, a sea of desolation, dead, unmovable, extending to the far circle of the overshadowing arch of sky. It was all lifeless, not even a sagebrush or Spanish bayonet visible. Doubts assailed her. Had she taken the right course? Did Kelleen imply that Box canyon lay directly south and had she been led astray, and thus wandered blindly out into the very heart of the desert? Could she, could the horse live through such a day of torture as that sun promised? Helpless, hopeless, the girl drooped down wearily in the saddle, closing her eyes to the desolation. They plodded on dreamly, her mind a chaos, haunted by every memory of horror arising from those swift-occurring events which had led to this tragedy. Her forcible marriage to Bob Meager, the bitter hatred his touch had aroused, his drunken, tustful eyes, the blow she struck him, with murder in her heart, the fleeing like a hunted criminal, desperately seeking escape. Then the coming of Kelleen into her life, strangely, mysteriously weaving about her a web of fascination, even as they rode together through the darkness. She had never entirely thrown that off, the odd spell of his presence, his cool, confident words—she felt she never would. Even when she questioned him the most, she still secretly believed; and now that he was actually dead, not so much as the flicker of a doubt remained. GIRL SUES BARBER FOR $500 FOR WRONG BOB ATLANTIC CITY—Charging that he had ruined her beauty by giving her a "mannish cut" instead of a 'boyish bob,' Miss Laura Norton has brought suit for $500 damages from Michael Schloss, a barber. She declares the close shearing was done with malicious intent. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING A. J. (Johnnie) MOORE M. B. Johnnile Moore wishes to thank his many friends for their conscientious and loyal support during the recent primary elections, and assure them that the confidence reposed in him will not be betrayed. If elected Sheriff of Maricopa County at the coming general election November 4th, he promises to reward his supporters by loyal service. By R. R. WRIGHT, Jr., Ph. D. Booker T. Washington laid great stress upon self help in his educational propaganda. No race can raise another. To reach the goal of excellence every one must help us upward. As with an individual, so with a race. The Negro race is no exception. Its biggest strides have been those made by its own help. Philanthropy has done much; our white friends have stood by loyally. But they would be disappointed if after all their help the Negro was not learning to carry his own load. When we look into the subject of how the Negro has helped and is helping himself in education, in business, in church, in industry, etc., we find a great deal of ground for optimism as to the future. Indeed we find much surprise. As far back as 1798 a school was opened in Philadelphia in Bethel A. M. E. church to help improve the intellectual status of the few colored people then inhabiting the city. As far back as 1841 a group of Negro ministers of the African Methodist church of Ohio, laid plans to start "a mutual labor school" for poor colored boys. In most of the large centers of the north long before the Civil War private schools were held by colored people for their own. Sarah Douglass taught for many years in Philadelphia and had a famous private school. In fact in places where prejudice kept colored children out of the public schools, the colored teacher took much of the burden of education of their race in their own private schools. Even in the south this was done in spots. One of the most famous of the Negro private schools teachers was Daniel A. Payne, afterward bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal church. He operated a school in Charleston for many years, and is said to have had some white pupils. He was expelled from the state because of the law passed in the early thirties prohibiting Negroes from teaching school. This same Daniel A. Payne, however, was one of the founders of Wilberforce University in 1856, and when the white people had abandoned the work, he, as he said, without a dollar but only on faith, contracted to purchase the Wilberforce property "in the name of the Negro race and the A. M. E. church." This today is the oldest institution of the New World owned and operated by Negroes. It has a plant worth more than a million dollars; has about a thousand students, and stands second among all the colleges of the country in number of students and the value of its equipment. The Negro church took the lead in educational self help as in religious improvement. All over the country, Baptists, Methodists, and others have vied with their white brethren in doing something for the education of Maricopa County The latest statistics show that these schools have been feeders to some of the largest universities in the north, from which they have drawn many of the members of their faculties. Allen University for a number of years, has had some of its best students in Boston University, Harvard, Columbia and other institutions. During three consecutive years someone from this school has taken a degree from one of the above named institutions. It is sometimes said that the schools run by colored people would be left to deteriorate. As an indication of the quality of the faculties of these schools, it might be stated that Wilberforce University has the only Negro Doctor of Philosophy from a German university as its president, Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, while on its faculty are graduates from Brown, Harvard, Columbia, Oberlin, Chicago, Ohio State Universities and other universities, and persons who have studied in Europe. Allen University has for its president, Dr. D. H. Sims, a graduate from Yale, Oberlin Divinity School, University of Chicago and also from the Georgia State College; and other members of the faculty from other corresponding schools. Morris Brown University has for its president Dr. John H. Lewis, a graduate of Yale and Chicago University. To support these schools takes an enormous budget. The bishops are now planning for a million dollar campaign for education, a large part of which will go to endowment. The raising of this endowment will be one of the great tests of how the Negroes invest in education. Up to the present no Negro institution supported by Negroes has gotten any large endowment. If the bishops of the church succeed in arousing Negroes of the country, it will be a great example and inspiration for the race everywhere. In my next article I will tell something of self help in education as illustrated by the Baptists and other Methodist institutions.
