This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his rengong 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.

Phoenix Tribune Key 10 Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes A.M.E ZION CHURCH SEEKS TO BREAK ALL DENOMINATIONAL TIES --- WASHINGTON, D. C.,—Zion church recently set aside $25,000 for Home Mission Preachers and sends out a general invitation to young men, graduating from Seminaries and otherwise prepared, to join the ranks of intensive and extensive missionary endeavor. As it is not mainly an effort to swell its own numbers but a drive for the Kingdom and for increased religious activity among the Negro race, young men and women, regardless of their Denominational training, will be acceptable. In this, the Zion church also seeks to break selfish Denominational cleavage among us and hopes to encourage and use talents and consecrated acquisition wherever and whenever it is available. The church believes that, in this policy, both the interest of the Kingdom of Heaven and the mass formation of our racial units against discrimination and all forms of racial prejudice can best be served by discouraging Denominationalism which divides us in vital things and encourage fellowship in religion as well as co-operation in dealing with our problems. Mr. S. M. Dudley, of Washington, D. C., a layman, has charge of this mission fund and he is being ably assisted in its administration by the Bishops and a carefully selected Board. CHURCH CONFERENCE ADVISES NEGROES TO SUPPORT G. O. P. CHICAO.—As a part of its social and welfare program the Chicago Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church passed the following resolution: WHEREAS,we, as a racial entity and as citizens of this Republic, have our own peculiar racial, social, economic, religious and political problems to face, we feel that our people, en masse, are still in need of and are, as well, still ready to receive advice and counsel, as in the past, from their pastors; AND WHEREAS,glowing promises for the future are being held out by certain parties seeking to corral the vote of our people, and to that end various subterfuges are being used. THEREFORE, be it resolved, that as a Conference we do not hesitate and declare it to be our ultimate conviction, that just at this time we cannot advise our people to desert the Republican party for any offer that other persons or parties may make. While we realize that in some respects and at some times representatives of the Republican party have not always shown themselves fully appreciative of our aid, at the same time when we recall and compare the complete record in National affairs of the treatment accorded us by the two of the great leading parties we quickly see a splendid balance in favor of the Republican party, and the present Republican standard bearers; THEREFORE, we urge our people, both men and women, in this critical hour and pivotal section, not to fail to qualify for the electorate and upon the election go to the polls and cast their suffrage for Coolidge and Dawes, as President and Vice-President of the U. S. C. M. Tanner R. E. Wilson N. J. McCracken B. U. Taylor T. L. Scott J. M. Anderson C. Z. Williams W. W. Lucas A. L. GAINES Presiding Bhp. Here From Colorado Mrs. J. W.

They plan to spend the winter here and have engaged apartments on East Jefferson sereet. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1924 FREE CIRCUS ACTS TO BE BIG ATTRACTION ARIZONA STATE FAIR Three premier circus acts featuring some of the world's most famous performers will make their appearance at the Arizona State Fair this year, according to an announcement made today by Joseph P. Dillon, secretary of the State Fair Commission. These special free attractions have been brought to Arizona for the week of the fair, November 10-15, inclusive, at an expense that would seem extravagant except for the fact that they are classed as top liners in the amusement world. They include the "Flying Condonas," flying trapeze artists; Lucile Andersan, the famous diving beauty, and a bevy of Diving nymphs direct from the New York Hippodrome, and Chick Overfield, expert trick slack-wire performer. The Sondonas have shown their skill and daring in practically every country of the civilized world, returning only recently to the United States after an absence of four years in Europe, South America, Africa and Asia. They are said to be the only artists performing in the outdoor field who have been decorated by the king of Spain for the fete in the immense hippidrome at Seville, and also by the president of France for exhibitions given in the leading circuses in that country. Miss Anderson, queen of the sirens, succeeds to the honors formerly held by Annette Kellerman. Her contract calls for a daily performance, featuring swimming and diving contests in front of the grand stand. In her water revue, she is assisted by a cotrie of bathing beauties who have won high honors and medals in diving contests throughout the east. These fascinating and beautiful nymphs will give an entrancing performance of trick and somersault diving and Miss Anderson furnishes the climax in the form of a 65-foot high dive. One of the best tricks performed by Overfield, the chap on the slack wire, is his imitation as an intoxicated club man, whose imitation, though highly hazardous, always evokes peals of merriment. The outlook for a successful fair this year was never better, says Secretary Dillon. Special rates by the railroads from all points in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Western Texas assure a record attendance, he says. STATE HEADQUARTERS COLORED REPUBLICAN OPEN FOR BUSINESS With a determination to win, Colored Republican Headquarters were opened a few days ago at 121 South 1st street, with Messrs Green, Payne, Washington and Mack in charge. These men plan to assist the voters in any way possible. Information will be given freely and they will arrange to take you to the polls at an hour most convenient to you. You are asked to call at headquarters and get any information you want, regarding the election. They also will be pleased to have you leave name, place of residence and state the hour most convenient for you to go to the polls. They will arrange to have autos call for you at the hour stated. By all means, visit these headquarters and get information, if nothing more. There are large rest rooms for ladies, books magazines, campaign literature, etc., and you are invited to come and make yourself at home. A lady is in charge to look after the wants of the women, and one or more of the men always will be in the office to give out information and answer questions pertaining to the coming election. It was said at Colored Republican Headquarters today, that Dwight B. Heard, Republican candidate for Governor, is gaining strength daily with the colored voters and it looks like the solid vote of our group will be cast for Heard and the entire Republican ticket. Over From Glendale Mr. M. H. Henderson, prosperous rancher of Glendale, was a Sunday visitor in Phoenix. HIGH HONOR IS GIVEN RACE WOMAN OF CITY BY REPUBLICANS HIGH HONOR IS GIVEN RACE WOMAN OF CITY BY REPUBLICANS Recognizing the importance of our women in State as well as National politics, Mrs. Barnett E. Marks, Republican National Committee woman for Arizona, has appointed Mrs. Lynn Ross Carter chairman of the Colored Women's Department, State campaign. Mrs. Carter is peculiarly fitted for the work assigned her, both by training and native ability. She has been prominent in State politics for many years, always working for the success of the Republican party. She is one of the best known women among our group in the State, by reason of her connection with the Arizona Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. She assisted in organizing the Federation about 10 years MRS. LYNN ROSS CARTER ago and served as its president for several successive terms. Mrs. Carter also has been signally honored by the Club women of Arizona, having been chosen as their delegate to represent this State at several of the meetings of the National Federation of Colored Women, which meetings are held annually in Chicago or Philadelphia. Mrs. Carter plans a tour of the State in the interest of the Republican ticket, and will organize the women in ever y town and hamlet in Arizona. By reason of her wide acquaintance throughout the State, she will experience no difficulty in bringing together the women of our race. Speaking to a representative of the Tribune Mrs. Carter said: "We shall endeavor to impress our women with the importance of voting the straight Republican ticket in this election. Three tickets are in the field this year, and if Republicans are to triumph, we must vote for every man on the ticket—from Constable to Coolidge." DOCTORS STARTLED BY OPERATION WHICH REVEALS DEAD BABY TOLEDO, Ohio.—One of the most astounding discoveries in medical history was made in St. Vincent's hospital when an operation for a "tumor" revealed that an aged Toledo woman had carried for fifty-one years the perfectly formed body of an unborn baby girl. The woman seventy-four, died shortly after the operation. Her death was caused by a combination of diseases due to old age, doctors said. Toledo physicians say this is one of the most unusual cases of the kind in medical history. Mothers have been known to carry bodies of unborn children for a year and perhaps two, but never before for half a century. The unborn child caused the mother little discomfort during life. The woman has two sons born before she was twenty. At twenty-three, the woman expected her third child. All the symptoms of motherhood appeared, but at the scheduled time she came back with empty arms. Doctors told her she was mistaken, that she had a growing tumor, and advised an operation. But fear of doctors and operations kept her from confirming her belief that she was to have been a mother again. PROGRESS OF NEGRO IN AMERICA ASTOUNDS SOUTH AFRICA, AVERS PROGRESS OF NEGRO IN AMERICA ASTOUNDS SOUTH AFRICA, AVERS ATLANTA, Ga.,—"To a visitor from South Africa, the progress of the American Negro is positively astounding, "says Rev. A. A. Kidwell, prominent religious leader from Johannesburg, who has just rounded out an extensive tour in this country, making a special study of Negro education. "I have been particularly pleased" he continued, "with the educational progress of the race in this country. In South Africa it is popularly supposed that the educated Negro is a failure. Here I find that just the reverse is true. The American people seem to recognize that education affects the Negro just as it does anybody else, making him more capable, more efficient, a better citizen, and an asset to society. Your system of public education is based on that theory, and the multitudes of educated progressive Negroes whom I have found throughout the country prove that the theory is correct. "I have been deeply impressed also, and even astounded," said Dr. Kidwell, "at the economic competence which American Negroes are achieving—their success in agriculture, industry and business. Your big insurance companies, banks, real estate corporations, construction companies and the like have no parallel anywhere else in the world, so far as I know, and certainly not in South Africa." Dr. Kidkell is superintendent of many churches and schools in British South Africa and is deeply interested in promoting the welfare of the natives. His observations of the favorable effects of public education and economic opportunity for the race in America he hopes to use to good advantage on his return, in the effort to bring about a more liberal attitude toward the native population. He frankly admits that the relations of the races in South Africa are much more difficult than here and that the natives labor under limitations and handicaps far more severe than anything to which the race is subjected to in this country. Dr. Kidwell spent several hours looking into the work of the interracial Commission, and expressed the opinion that its principles and methods ought to be applied around the world wherever there is interracial friction. SPORT WRITERS SAY WILLS FOUGHT TWO MEN IN FIRPO BOUT NEW YORK,—The opinion is growing in and around New York among able sport critics that Harry Wills, the reliable old campaigner, was really holding his stuff for the benefit of Jack Harrison Dempsey, heavy weight champion, who was a spectator at the Wills-Firpo fight. Wills, everyone knows, has arrived at the point where he can demand a bout with the champion. Some writers say that Wills was not doing his best—rather going his best—in the fight with Firpo because he knew that Dempsey person was right there at the ring side drinking in every move he made. Harry is a reliable old campaigner. He knew what Dempsey was there for. It wasn't to see the fight and to enjoy the thrills. At the end of the seventh round Dempsey got up and walked out. Because all that he or anyone else was seeing was the humdrum repetition of Wills' feinting Firpo into an opening and then pummelling away at his ribs. Was Wills actually hiding his stuff? Smart boxing men say he was. Did he fight two men, Firpo and Dempsey? Was he felling two birds at one and the same time? Was he baffling Firpo physically and Dempsey mentally? Rather a unique situation if he did. The Rev. R. H. Harbert of the Kansas Conference has been assigned to the local A. M. E. church by Bishop A. J. Carey. He comes well recommended and it is hoped that he will do a great work in Phoenix. WHERE DO YOU STAND MR. CANDIDATE, AS REGARDS THIS QUERY? The National Association for the advancement of colored people, suggests that the following questions be put to each candidate who asks the support of negro voters in the coming election: 1. Are you in favor of the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by the next Congress? 2. Are you in favor of the provisions for enforcement of the ^13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States as have been provided for by the enforcement of the 18th amendment? 3. Are you now a member of the Ku Klux Klan? 4. Have you ever signed an application blank for membership in said Klan? 5. State in a few brie" words your attitude towards the Klan. 6. Do you believe in equal educational facilities for all persons of school age in this State? 7. In what way do you favor housing and racial segregation? 8. Do you believe in political and industrial equality? If so to what extent? AFRICAN CITIZENS SAID TO GIVE PARIS LOTS OF TROUBLE AFRICAN CITIZENS SAID TO GIVE PARIS LOTS OF TROUBLE PARIS,—The Associated Press, the greatest news gatherer of the white press, whose articles, with regard to dark peoples have been tinged with prejudice has recently released the report of the Color Problem in Paris. It says: "The color problem, always regarded as a peculiarly American Institution, has suddenly loomed large in Paris, and the Government has hurriedly created a special department to supervise the African natives, blacks and Moroccans, who number 200,000 in the capital, as compared with 3,000 twenty years ago. The great concern is not over the criminal element among the Negroes and yellow tribesmen, but with the ignorant desert-raised natives who have been attracted to Paris by tales of pleasure and who frequently run wild. They are without money and uneducated, accustomed to the rough living that passed muster in the desert but which shocks the Parisian. The police are baffled because the transplanted natives accept punishment as a matter of course and start over again, not realizing they have not a perfect right to fight with knives or to steal when hungry. Much of the difficulty is said by those with experience in the colonies to be due to lack of understanding by the police and others of the psychology of the African natives, but the police say it is impossible for uneducated Africans to plunge suddenly into a great city and get along well. Consequently the police officials are urging an absolute embargo on the coming of lower class Africans, except where employment and proper surroundings are assured. Even then, it is pointed out, they must be helped by firm, friendly supervision. CANADIAN CHAMPION MAKES FUTIL EFFORT TO CORNER WILLS NEW YORK.—Jack Renault, sensational Canadian heavyweight, who has a knockout and a victory of eorge Godfrey to his credit, has announced through his manager, Lee Flynn, that he is thru chasing Harry Wills for a while, charging that it has been impossible to get Wills to sign for a bout. A bout between Wills and Renault was talked of immediately after the drubbing Wills gave the Wild Bull of the Pampus, Luis Firpo. White sport writers who were disposed to keep Dempsey in the clear manfactured the Renault bogey, holding that the Canadian should now get a crack at the Brown Panther because Wills had not shown much class in his Firpo bout. Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress. — T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year COOLIDGE AGAIN IS ASKED TO STATE VIEWS ON KU KLUX KLAN The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, today made public a letter just sent to President Coolidge, renewing the request of colored people that he make an unequivocal statement on the Ku Klux Klan, removing it as an issue from politics. The letter, signed by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Advancement Association, states that "colored people, breaking their historical allegiance to the Republican party, are prepared to vote against Klan candidates by whatever party nominated." The present letter renews a request made May 29 last, for a statement on the Klan by President Coolidge, to which the President 'failed to reply. The letter in full is as follows: "My dear Mr. President: "I beg leave to call to your attention once again that thousands of colored citizens are still looking for a public statement from you specifically disavowing for the Republican party the support and endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan. To a previous request for such a statement sent to you on May 29 of this year no reply was received. To a telegram sent June 6, Mr. Slemp replied that it came during the closing days of the session of Congress when every moment of your time was occupied and that he hoped to call the message to your attention at an early date. No further reply has been received. "As we said in our previous letter, the issue involved transcends a mere few votes in the coming election, although on the basis of the Klan issue, we are informed, colored people, breaking their historical allegiance to the Republican party, are prepared to vote against Klan candidates by whatever party nominated. It is not, however, from the point of view of vote-getting that a repudiation of the Klan should come from the Republican party. That repudiation should be made clear and decisive on the basis of the Klan's hypocrisy and the violence, disorder and the race and religious hatred known to be an inevitable product of the organization and activity of that body. "We now feel still greater warrant in asking for some such statement from you, in view of the fact that both the other principal candidates, Mr. John W. Davis for the Democrats and Mr. Robert M. La Follette for the third party, have declared themselves unequivocally and unmistakably on this issue, both of them naming the Ku Klux Klan, so that there could be no flavor of evasion about their utterances. To take the Klan out of politics as an issue, there is necessary only a statement from you as leader of the Republican party. It is this statement which the National Association "or the Advancement of Colored People again respectfully asks you to make." HATRED IS CAUSE OF RACE TROUBLE SAYS BISHOP R. E. JONES Bishop R. E. Jones' lecture on "Inter-racial Adjustments" last Monday night was rich with religious spirit and profound knowledge. The Bishop spoke of his broad experience with inter-racial adjustment conferences in the south. He told of the gratifying results that were continually working for harmony and truth of understanding between the whites and Negroes of the south. "We need to think in terms of humanity more than in term of race," said the Bishop. "The greatest fights have not been fought on the field of battle, but in the realm of human conscience. We must learn how to live together, treat each other kindly, squarely and fairly. We have to be able not to conquer our doubts, but our hates. Love your enemies—this is the test of a man's religion toward man and God, and in it lies the solution of all race problems."

Just why this condition prevails, no one in authority would say.

Of course, we do not know whether the committee is really in "straits," or whether it is the same old cry of "wolf-wolf," when really there is no wolf.

The Colored people have heard of new political parties and the milenniums that were to follow in their train, but they have never had sufficient faith to try them out. They know the Republican Party: its birth, its history, its traditions. They are not willing to leave it in an attempt to row their frail political bark over uncharted seas. The advocates of new political parties and strange political preachments who are relying on the strength of the colored vote had better find their way back to the tents of the Republican Party. There is where the colored voter continues to abide because he believes firmly and fully that the Republican Party is his best friend.

When we think of the E One thing that has become noticeable during the present political campaign, is that the leaders of the two major parties are on the defense so far as the Constitution of the United States is concerned. Senator La Follette's inroads on these parties have had a telling effect and it seems that the only way to offset what is being done by the Independent candidate is to defend the Constitution. We are glad that something has happened that will make the party leaders think of the Constitution, while administering the laws of the land. When we think of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution and recall just how the provisions thereof are being enforced, we cannot but wonder what have the defenders of the Constitution been doing all these years. The Democratic party, in the South, has disfranchised the Negro voters in violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States. The Republican party, like Saul of Tarsus, has stood by and seen it well done. But what is worse still, is the fact that the Republican party, with the reins of the National government in its hands for forty years, with men who represent themselves as the party of Lincoln, has seen men disfranchised, jim-crowed and denied the participation of the laws of the land solely because of color, and yet has done nothing to restore those rights. We are wondering if President Coolidge, who is already President with a Republican cabinet, and the party leaders who are so zealous of the Constitution now-a-days, ever think of how they see the same Constitution grossly violated each day, and remain just as silent as a sphinx. We wonder if they know the meaning of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. We are compelled to mention these things with the hope that now, that they are talking Constitution, it may be perchance, that the whole Constitution will come before them. It will be remembered that the Constitution knows no color. It was founded upon the theory that all men were equal before the law; that all men had certain inalienable rights which must not be abridged on account of race or creed. So let us hope that this part of the Constitution will be enforced as well as any other, by Republicans or Democrats.—The St. Louis Argus. By Geo. W. BUCKNER, in St. Louis Argus The rapid growth of political consciousness in America is being manifested more in this pre-election year than ever be- THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Republican Nominees For President For Vice President CALVIN COOLIDGE MASSACHUSETTS CHARLES G. DAWES ILLINOIS fore. The third party seems to be gathering momentum from both of the major parties; while the Democratic party is being strengthened by strong individuals and groups from the Republican side. The reported landslide for the Republicans has indeed lost considerable ground. What the outcome will be, no one can foretell with accuracy just now. Coincident with the general awakening of national political consciousness is to be found a changing attitude on the part of heretofore strong Negro Republicans. In short, Negroes are thinking in terms of the party leaders themselves rather than parties alone. In the past, the Republicans counted on the Negroes and they voted the straight (?) ticket. Today both of the major parties may count on a large number of influential Negro votes. We believe the shifting of the Negro vote from one party to another is a very wholesome indication. 'It means that the Negro can no longer be counted as being a part of any party without questioning him as to the principle of that party. James Weldon Johnson in the October issue of the "Crisis," pointed out the wisdom of such a course. Very often, the balance of power is entirely in the hands of the Negro vote. Heretofore, we have lacked sufficient manhood and stamina to stand upon principle and ideals. We have felt that with the Republican party in the White House, the affairs of this country would be administered all right and justice would be meted out to all racial groups. While we can not forget Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and his desire to free the slaves, we must not forget that we are now living in a different age. We are now men and must expect to stand or fall upon the principles of citizenship. We believe it should be our duty not to let any party believe that it has a monopoly upon our votes because of our color. Let us do a little more thinking and vote for men.
