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. DWIGHT B. HEARD S TO KNOW HIM I DWIGHT B. HEARD SURE WINNER TO KNOW HIM IS TO VOTE FOR HIM The Hon. Dwight B. Heard, Republican candidate for Governor of Arizona, is conducting one of the cleanest campaigns ever witnessed in this State. No mud-slinging, vituperation or abuse of any kind whatsoever, is indulged in by Mr. Heard. The attack he is making on his opponent, Governor Hunt, may be termed a "straight right," and it caught the antagonist on the point of his Hon. Dw M. B. Hon. Dwight B. Heard chin. After receiving this well-directed blow, the Governor is in distress, and of course, he is ready to claim a foul in order to save himself. Heard's method of campaigning is making friends for him by the hundred. Democrats as well as Republicans believe he is the logical man for Governor of Arizona, and will show their faith by their works on Novem- CHILDREN WHIPPED WITTH HOSE IN N. Y. SCHOOLS ELMSFORD, N. Y.—Up to last week it was the custom of Howard L. Holden, white, and 16 of his teachers to use a rubber hose in disciplining the children. Today all that has been changed. Principal Holden has been ordered to obtain consent of the parents before rubber hosing the children. The parents who object to the rubber hosing of their children by Holden will be requested to punish their children at home for misdeeds in school. It came about when Helen and Walter Lewis, two colored children were rubber hosed by Holden. Mrs. Lewis took the matter up with the School Board and Holden, two members of the Board and several of his teachers threatened to resign. Mrs. Lewis took it into the courts and police justice Scott ruled teachers could not punish children with a rubber hose. Now that a compromise has been effected the whole town is at peace again. HAMILTON, Ohio.—Another one of Jack Johnson's (former heavyweight champion), pet schemes to rake in the dollars of the people has gone ka-floey. After he had found out that most states had barred him as a fighter, and the governor of Indiana had stopped his proposed fight with Tut Jackson, he of the golden smile decided that a gullible public would "fall" for Rev. Jack Johnson and it VOL. VII.—NO. 9 REV. JACK JOHNSON IS ber 4th, when Heard will be elected by a safe majority. Perhaps it will interest the Colored voters of Arizona to know that Mr. Heard, as a private citizen, now employs several Colored laborers and their annual pay totals $7,500. Many of these employees have been working for Mr. Heard for years, even before the erection of the new Heard building which gave additional em ```markdown ``` ployment to members of our race. As a private citizen, or even as Governor, how many Colored people does Governor Hunt employ? The all-important question with us is making a living, and our fight is for an equal opportunity and a chance to earn our daily bread by honest labor. We believe these means can best be served by electing Dwight B. Heard Governor of Arizona. would be soft pickings in the role of evangelist." Jacks plans were alright but they just wouldn't work. Just as the heavyweight fighter was about to make his debut as a minister the little church split into two opposing factions. Mrs. Eugene Evens, wife of the pastor who is out of the city, refused to sanction Jack being in his pulpit until he, Jack, reforms. She also said the invitation was to put Jack in good with the church people so they would not attempt to stop him if he wants to fight. Half of the members of the little church declare Jack has reformed and is plenty good enough to preach in any pulpit. So Jack finds himself with half a congregation on his hands and with the alternative of taking his flock under his wings and building a house of worship or desecrating them and giving up his ministrel ambitions. Close friends of the ex-chamo say it is most likely that Jack will follow the path of least resistance as winter is comping on and it is a hard matter to get support out of a whole congregation and it wasn't his intention to start a church anyway. COLORED WOMEN OF SOUTHSIDE DISCUSS CAMPAIGN ISSUES Several prominent colored speakers met with the colored Republican women of the southside at the home of Mrs. O. G. Howard Monday evening and discussed the issues of the political campaign. Every speaker of the evening pledged support to Calvin Coolidge, Charles G. Dawes, Dwight B. Heard and the entire Republican ticket which will come before the voters November 4. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1924 DR. H. A. WELLS HOLDS QUARTERLY MEETING IN PHOENIX OCT. 19-20 The first quarterly Conference of Tanner Chapel A. M. E. church was held Oct. 20th, with H. A. Wells, Presiding Elder of the Albuquerque District of the Colorado Conference of the A. M. E. church, in the chair. He called the meeting to order at 8 p.m. Ministers present were: Rev. C. N. Douglas, exp pastor, Tanner Chapel, Rev. T. J. Barkley, pastor of the A. M. E. church at Mesa, Ariz., and the Rev. R. H. Harbert, new pastor of Tanner Chapel. A large and attentive crowd greeted the Presiding Elder and new pastor. Stimulated by the offer of a $5 gold piece as a prize to the class leader making the largest report over $10, the leaders made excellent reports. Total raised by class leaders for Sunday was $74.20. Mr. Allen Smith, who reported $42.35, was awarded the prize, a five-dollar gold piece. Total money raised Sunday, quarterly meeting day, including the public collection, was $93.52. Total money raised this quarter, or since Annual Conference which closed Sept. 8th, was $350.00. The trustees reported $163.00 raised since Sept. 8th. The Sunday school, Allen League, Missionary and other auxiliaries made fine reports. Rev. C. N. Douglas, who has had charge of the work here since the departure of the Rev. S. R. Maguinez for Oakland, Calif., was given a rising vote of thanks by the Quarterly Conference for the wonderfully efficient work he had done during his brief tenure of office. Ed. Lewis, Reporter TARIFF PROTECTS COTTON GROWERS SAY REPUBLICANS In a statement issued at Republican committee headquarters here today attention was called to the fact that the Houston Post-Dispatch, one of the leading newspapers of Democratic Texas, wants to know why Texas should produce 4,000,000 bales of cotton annually and ship practically all of it from 2,000 to 4,000 miles to be manufactured and returned to the Lone Star state in finished form, the conclusion being that Texas should manufacture its own cotton products. "This is exactly the attitude the Republican party assumes nationally," the statement declares. "Why should American cotton growers ship their cotton to England and Europe to have it returned in manufactured form? That is exactly what happens under a Democratic free trade tariff law, but the Republican tariff protects both cotton grower and cotton manufacturer by putting a duty on imported cotton goods, thus preventing the flooding of this country with imported cotton cloths. "The result is that American labor is assured continued employment in the cotton mills; American cotton growers are assured a home market, and the consumer is certainly not injured since, despite this tariff protection, there was shipped into this country 400,000,000 yards of cotton cloth made in Europe in the last fiscal year, nearly five times as much as was shipped in during 1913. "If this policy would be good for Texas, as indicated in the Texas newspaper article, why is it not equally good for the entire country? The many former Texans now resident in Arizona can easily answer this question, and will doubtless render their answer at the ballot box next November." Each of the speakers condemned activities being conducted to create a feeling of race perejudice among the less well informed colored voters of the state. Another meeting has been arranged for the colored Republican women at the home of Mrs. Gertrude McCutcheon, 1215 East Jefferson street, at 8 o'clock Monday evening. Invitations have also bee extended to the colored men of the valley to attend this meeting.

STRONG LETTER SENT OUT BY COMMITTEE FROM HEADQUARTERS The following letter sent out to colored voters in Arizona by the colored Republican organization, should have the desired effect. The letter follows: THE COLORED REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS 121 S. First Street Phoenix, Arizona TO ALL VOTERS: We would like to call your attention to the fact that this is a great political year. The time has come when it is necessary to our welfare to unite ourselves to get recognition when we go to the polls on Tuesday November 4th. Vote a straight Republican ticket and support the party that will support you. Just think of the article in the Arizona Republican Monday morning, October 6th—the Democratic party in Louisiana filed a petition in the Federal court of that state, to be presented to the United States' Supreme Court, attacking the Fourteenth amendment—to disfranchise every Negro voter in America. Come out and hear this issue discussed at our political rally November 2nd When you go to the polls vote a straight Republican ticket from the highest office in the land to the lowest office in the state.

VOTE FOR HEARD FOR GOV. GOVERNMENT DEFENDS COHEN IN OUSTER SUIT FILED BY DEMOCRATS WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—The United States attorney at New Orleans has been instructed by the Department of Justice to proceed with the defence of the suit brought by H. Edwin Bolte, who seeks to enjoin Walter L. Cohen, colored comptroller of customs at New Orleans, from discharging the duties of that office. There was a conference here today between Comptroller Cohen and Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the attorney general, who consulted with Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge and officials of the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice. The result was that the government assumed the defence of the suit with Mr. Howard in charge of the Washington proceedings. "This action of the administration," Comptroller Cohen said, "shows conclusively the attitude of President Coolidge toward the colored citizenry, for the suit is not against me personally but has as its aim the disenfrancement of every colored person in the United States. I now, as always, call upon the colored voters of the country to vote the Republican ticket for Coolidge and Dawes." Mr. Howard believes that the suit will be dismissed upon the ground that Bolte is not such an interested party as might maintain such a suit and the courts will not permit a public office to be harrassed by a person whose interest is not above that of the general public. BLUE-EYED MULATOES ARE FOUND IN AFRICA ALGERIA, Africa.—Another tribe of blue-eyed, flaxen haired and white skinned Africans has been found in the far-off regions of this country. They are mixed up with mulattoes and the dark skinned natives of the Kabyle village, nearly always on the tops of mountain peaks. They have hooked Jewish noses and are of the Mohammendan faith. Most of the people live in stables with their cattle, and declare their history runs back to the third century B. C. GO SOUTH Mr. and Mrs. A. M.

SS ee ent ee ee As we approach the day for the election of the national and state officers it becomes our duty to call the attention of the colored voters of this state to the respective candidates and the claim which they set forth for the purpose of obtaining support. In the first place we prefer to suggest that we are Republicans on general principles. We believe in the general policy of the Republican party because this country has been prosperous in proportion to the manner in which the principles of this party have triumphed. In addition to our regard for this general pol- icy and our admiration of the principles which it advocates there are specific reasons why the people of our race should always be true to this party. Whatever measures of freedom or privi- leges of citizenship we enjoy they have come to us largely by reason of the efforts of the GRAND OLD PARTY on our behalf. This party opposed the slavery of human beings. By showing opposition to this wicked institution it took the shackles and chains from the wrists of FOUR MILLIONS (4,000,000) of our people and permitted them to enjoy that freedom which the con- ‘stitution vouchsafes to every American citizen. The Republican party also amended the constitution in such a manner as to give our people the right to vote and participate in the affairs of government. In like manner it gave us a substantial guarantee that our rights should never be abridged nor taken away from us. We are fully conscious of the fact that whatever guarantee we have of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is due in the largest possible measnre to the activities of the Republican Party whose slogan is “ALL MEN UP AND NO MAN DOWN.” We appreciate the further fact that the Republican Party has never enacted or caused to be enacted any laws which discrim- inate against our people on account of their color or previous conditions of servitude. It is also true that this party has never permitted any discriminatory legislation at our expense, wher- ever it had sufficient voting strength to prevent such adverse legisaltion. We recognize and appreciate the significant fact ‘that the Republican Party has been outspoken against all forms of lawlessness, especially that form which affects and distresses our people more than any other. With reference to the infa- mous mob rule, which has shamefully outraged this Republic, in the platform of the Republican Party, which was adopted by the National Republican Convention, in its last session in Cleve- land, Ohio, may be found the following significant, hopeful and encouraging paragraph: “We urge the Congress to enact at the earliest possible date a Federal arti-lynching law, so that the full influence of the Federal Government may be wielded to exterminate this outrageous crime. “We believe that much of the misunderstanding which now exists can be eliminated by humane and sympathetic study of its causes. The President has wisely recommended the creation of a commission for the investigation of social and economic conditions and the promotion of mutual understanding and con- fidence.” The Republican Party is also outspoken on the subject of law and order, as is shown by the following paragraph from its party platform: “We must have respect for law. We must have observance of law. We must have enforcement of law. The very existence of the Government depends upon this. The substitution of pri- vate will for public law is only another name for oppression, disorder, anarchy and mob rule. “Every Government depends upon the loyalty and respect of its citizens. Violations of law weaken and threaten Govern- ment itself. No honest government can condone such actions on the part of its.citizens. The Republican Party pledges the full strength of the Government for the maintenance of these petncples by the enforcement of the Constitution and of all laws.” The Republican Party has never overlooked us when the time came to distribute the spoils. Under the Republican administration, members of our race have been given full recognition in the way of employment in the federal government’ service. More than 50,000 Colored men and women are on the government pay roll, and they are part of an aggregate of more than $50,000,000 a year in salaries. The largest representation of them in any branch of the federal government is in the postal service, where, according to the latest available figures, there are employed 20,391 men and women of our race. The Panama Canal ofice ranks second, em- ploying 8,178 Negroes. Then follow the treasury, navy and war departments in order, each employing more than 5,200 of our race, : The total number of colored people employed under the Re- publican administration is 51,805; the salaries received for the services which they rendered amounted to ($52,655,959.29) FIFTY-TWO MILLION, SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE THOUSAND, NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-NINE DOLLARS AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

Compare these figures with the record of the Democratic Party when it is in power and it may be readily seen that the leaders and advocates of this party keep up organized effort to thwart every aspiration of the colored man, . They disfranchise him, debar him-from public office and humiliate him in every possible manner. ‘he Republican Party was true to its tradi- tion up to the last session of its National Convention. At its Cleveland convention which nominated President Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes, the Negro race was given the following ap- pointments: An assistant reading clerk, a delegate to second the nomination of President Coolidge, two official doorkeepers, three members of the highly important committee on platform and resolutions, two members of the committee on rules, two mem- bers of the committee to notify the vice presidential nominee of his nomination, five members of the committe on credentials. There were 38 Colored delegates at the Clevland convention, and 51 Colored alternate delegates. The Republican National Com- mittee at present includes four Negro men and women in its membership. “With such a record before it, the duty of the Colored voter is plain. He should support the party that is showing a friendly regard for him and giving him humane consideration. Colored voters should not be deceived and mislead by glibbery orators and mercenary tools of the Democratic Party. We should not al- low ourselves to be persuaded to form new and untried political alliances. We know the Republican Party, its mission, its his- tory, its traditions, its loyalty to the principle of justice and equity. For that reason, we should cling steadfastly to the GRAND OLD PARTY, support its candidates both state and national, and assist in bringing it into the largest and most pro- nounced victory that it has achieved since the day of its organ- ization. On the 4th day of November we should do our duty and wait with a degree of certainty to hear the proclamation which shall be sent around the country to the effect that Calvin Cool- idge is President of the United States, and Hon. Dwight B. Heard is Governor of the State of Arizona. Vote the STRAIGHT ESEUEEICAN TICKET and these splendid results will be ob- tain IT’S UP TO YOU You may be a big man in the business world. Your prop- erties may represent many good round, hard dollars. You may take an interest in politics to the extent of complaining about taxation, too much legislation, useless regulation of industry, ete. You may send your boy to college and your daughter to a finishing school. You may, be a “successful” American business man. : But do you take an interest in the government which pro- tects your property? Or are you merely one of the kickers who complain about the “radicals?” Do you go to the polls and vote for men and measures you believe sound or do you instead, go out and play golf on election day and let the fellow about whom you complain do all the voting? Don’t kick unless you are willing to do your duty as a citi- zen at the polls. No matter how “big” you are, your vote is worth no more than the poorest bum in town. The “bigger” you are, the more necessary it is for you to vote, teach your children to vote and your wife to vote. Don't leave somebody else to do your voting for you and then kick at the results. “Your’’ government will be just as good as you help make it, and no better. TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR MOTORISTS if all motorists would observe the following “ten Command- ments” there would be a great reduction in the number of acci- dents on the highways. 1. Drive on the right side of the road; it’s just as good as the left. 2. Slow down when approaching a cross road; it is nearly as dangerous as a railroad crossing. 8. Look out for children. You can never tell what they will do, and you are always in the wrong when you hit one. 4, Try to help instead of hindering the traffic officer; he’s there for your good and he’s got a tough job. 5. Be sure that your lights are not defective er glaring. It’s no joke driving into a blinding glare, as you yourself know. 6, Read and obey the warning signs; they are not put up as ornaments. 1. If you've got to speed—do it where you won't kill any- body but yourself. 8. When making minor repairs get all wheels off the pave- ment and stop where your car can be seen from both directions; otherwise you may stop longer than you anticipated. ee Speeding around corners is a straight route to the hos- pital. 10. Use discretion. The fact that you had the right-of-way won't bring anybody back to life, least of all, yourself, 1] I 7 LOCAL NEWS See nen ae eee Mr. W. F.

Cox, Democratic candidate for State Senator, Maricopa county, favors a State banking law protecting all depositors and if elected, pledges himself to work for enactment of this law. Explaining his idea of why he believes bank depositors should be protected by a state banking law, Mr. Cox said: "When we borrow money from banks we give security. Bank failures the past four years in the state of Arizona show that the depositors in banks have not been secured. Most homes in Arizona are insured by the owners or mortgagees for protection. Loss by fire is not as great as loss by bank failures. Think how many homes you have seen go up in smoke as compared to bank accounts lost and you can readily see that the loss by fire is very small compared to the loss by bank failures. "If we have a home, say worth $5,000.00, and turn it over to our banker, he to receive all of the income from the said home for his pay in handling it, and he rents it at $50.00 per month and does not think enough of the kindness bestowed upon him to insure the home and it should burn while in his possession, without insurance, all the banker would be deprived of would be the income from the property. If the home should be sold for $5,000.00 and the money deposited with the banker for safekeeping, do you not think the banker would get thhene fit of using the $5,000.00? In case the bank closes, all the banker would be deprived of would be the use and benefit from the $5,000.00; there would be no insurance or protection in behalf of the depositor. Is it right and fair for the citizens of Arizona to insure their homes, their lives and their automobiles for the purpose of protection and place their money in banks without protection? If the banker who has the income from our home should not think enough of the income derived from same to insure our home he should not have the home, and I think the same is true with regard to the depositors leaving their money in banks who are not in favor of a law for the protection of depositors in state banks. "There are many states in the union at the present time that have laws protecting depositors in state banks. The law proposed to be enacted on our statutes for the protection of depositors in state banks will not raise taxes and the rate of interest, nor will it affect them, unless it should tend to lower each. Does the fact that an individual borrows money and gives security to a bank affect taxes? Then why should the depositors requiring security from a banker to protect deposits have anything to do with the rate of taxes paid by property owners. "A law for the protection of depositors in state banks is not radical legislation. If I am elected to the state Senate I am going to do all in my power to place upon out statute a law that will protect depositors in state banks one hundred per cent on every dollar deposited." CANDIDATE DAVIS TRAINS LIKE PRIZE FIGHTER Associated Negro Press Albany, N. Y.—Strain caused from the fight to seal a couple of northern states, from the Coolidge fold for John W. Davis, Democratic candidate for the perisdency, has caused Mr. Davis to avail himself of the services of Jim Cullen, physical trainer of heavyweight fighters. It was announced that Cullen had been hired to help the Democratic candidate "put knockout punches in his battle for the presidency." PETER H. Howard M. Van Denburgh for JUSTICE OR THE PEACE East Phoenix Proincto Lawyer Republican Ex-Service Man Personal, Local and Society News OF THE STATE CAPITAL By R. L. S., Society Editor Coolidge-Dawes Club Mrs. O. G. Howard, Deputy organizer of Colored women in Maricopa County, motored to Mesa Saturday evening and organized a Coolidge-Dawes club in that wide-awake town. As election day is so near and the people will have only a short time to work, Mrs. Howard suggested that the Colored men and women of Mesa organize and work together for the success of the entire Republican ticket, State and National. Accordingly, after the temporary organization was formed, they proceeded to elect permanent officers from among those present. Mrs. Sarah Taylor was elected chairman by acclamation, Mr. N. Brigham was unanimously elected secretary and Mr. C. P. Coleman was the unanimous choice for treasurer. This organization was supplied with Republican literature and members began at once to distribute same and pledged themselves to work incessantly, enthusiastically and zealously for the success of the Republican party in the coming election. Mrs. Howard made one of the best campaign speeches ever delivered by a woman of our group, extolling the virtues of the Republican party, and she was applauded to the echo. She then introduced Editor A. R. Smith of the Phoenix Tribune, who in a few brief remarks explained to the audience why it was incumbent upon every member of our race to vote the straight Republican ticket at the coming election. Among other things he said that every right and every privilege that Colored people enjoy under the Constitution, were given them by the Republican party. Following Mr. Smith's address other members were given an opportunity to express their views, and all pledged allegiance to the Grand Old Party. There were over 40 people present at the meeting Saturday night, and all were for Dwight B. Heard for Governor of Arizona and Coolidge for President. Dr. N. B. Greenlee of Los Angeles, Calif., is a recent arrival and is staying at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Wells, 1125 East Washington street. Dr. Greenlee for a number of years was house surgeon at the Ft. Dearborn hospital in Chicago and also has spent some time in the U. S. Government service as physician in charge of narcotic cases. He is a graduate of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and did special work in Boston School of Technology. He plans to locate in Arizona and practice his profession. We welcome him to this field and predict a bright, successful future for him. Mrs. W. E. Davis will leave soon for Louisville, Ky., to reside. * * * * Visits Father Here With the recent invasion of a team of professional ball players, Willie Bobo, former Phoenix boy and son of Mr. Calvin Bobo of this city, came to the city and paid a brief visit to his father. Mr. Bobo is from St. Louis and together with the ball team on which he is playing, the winter will be spent in California. BALTO, AFRO-AMERICAN STEPS ON THE GAS BALTIMORE, Md.—With the installation last week of a new Hoe Rotary Press, equipped for color work and capable of printing 24,000 per hour of a 4 to 16-page newspaper, or a fewer number of 32 page papers, the Afro-American of this city stepped out into the lead of Negro newspapers in respect to mechanical equipment and operation. The big press was shipped from New York in two freight cars. Instruction in its operation was given by experts of the New York firm to the Afro's pressmen who now are putting it through its paces unassisted. Heretorefone the only Negro newspaper to have a press as large as the one of the Afro is the Chicago Defender. The Defender press, however, is operated by white force, the Afro by Negro workmen. The first issue turned out on the new press consisted of 20 pages. It is expected that the management will go to 28 pages in the near future. The Afro-American is in its 34th year, was founded by the late J. H. Murphy, and is now conducted by his sons, Cart, president, and John, acting secretary-treasurer. Usually, when a fellow gets to thinking, "I'm the big gun of this establishment," he gets fired. New Physician Here To Louisville Visits Father Here THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING ! Motor to Nogales Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Howard left Saturday morning overland for Tucson and Nogales. At Florence they will be joined by Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Leos and the quartet will motor to Tucson in Mr. Leos' car. At Tucson, the party will be joined by Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Carter, who are touring Southern Arizona in the interest of the Republican ticket, and all will motor to Nogales Sunday on a business and pleasure trip. Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Carter are working among the women of our group throughout the State and are very successful in organizing them and starting them out to work in the interest of the Republican ticket. They are determined to put over the entire Republican ticket so far as our group is concerned, and if hard work will do it, they are winners. TO CALIFORNIA Rev. and Mrs. T. J. Ross of 545 East Jefferson street left recently for California to reside. Dr. Ross is a member of the C. M. E. church and will attend the annual conference at San Diego.

COLORED WOMEN OF SOUTH- SIDE DISCUSS CAMPAIGN ISSUES Several prominent colored speakers met with the colored Republican women of the southside at the home of Mrs. O. G. Howard Monday evening and discussed the issues of the political campaign. Every speaker of the evening pledged support to Calvin Coolidge, Charles G. Dawes, Dwight B. Heard and the entire Republican ticket which will come before the voters November 4. Each of the speakers condemned activities being conducted to create a feeling of race prejudice among the less well informed colored voters of the state. Another meeting has been arranged for the colored Republican women at the home of Mrs. Gertrude McCutcheon, 1215 East Jefferson street, at 8 o'clock Monday evening. Invitations have also been extended to the colored men of the valley to attend this meeting. . THE PUBLIC PAYS Railroad valuation work up to the present time has cost the railroads and the public approximately $100,000,000 and it is estimated that it will take $5,000,000 more to complete the job. After that it will require $400,000 annually to keep the valuations up to date. Congress has spent $25,000,000 and the railroads $70,000,000 in doing this work. It would be really hard to say wherein the public has actually benefitted from this large expenditure of money which has not built any new track, terminal facilities or provided equipment for the convenience of the public. One hundred million dollars has, however, been taken out of the pockets of the taxpayers, the traveler and the freight shipper. The railroads have had to add the most of this proceeding to their rates. This is merely one of the many numerous overhead charges which it is impossible for the carriers to escape under a multiple system of regulation by states, nation and labor organizations. It is a marvel that any business can survive and give decent service with so many bosses. Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. is the first Negro college in the United States to be given a million dollar endowment. Dr. Fayette Avery McKenzie, president, has announced. Ex-Captain Charles Kelly, who is teaching in the Atlanta High School is assisting Coach Harvey to get the Morehouse College Football team in shape for the 1924 season. What is the largest room in the world? Douglas, Arizona Douglas, Arizona By Rev. W. T. Thornton Olympia Lodge No. 5, gave a treat to all the children of our group in Douglas last Saturday, in the form of an auto outing and picnic. Sgt. Maj. A. G. Reid is Worshipful Master of Olympia Lodge. Four cars of Republican boosters motored to Bisbee Tuesday evening and assisted in setting in motion a branch of the Women's National Bureau of Republican Activities. The people of Bisbee, while nearly drowned us with a high of coffee, furnished a sufficient number of life savers in the form of delicious doughnuts. REPUBLICAN RALLY AT A. M. E. CHURCH In answer to the call of Mrs. Lynell Reid,directoress of the Women's National Bureau of Republicans Activity, for Douglas and Cochise County, a large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the St. James A. M. E. church 833 Sixteenth street last evening. Several strong and important speeches were made setting forth the advantages to be gained by voting the straight republican ticket at this time—the pivotal moment in the history of the country. Often the speakers were interrupted by applause from the audience. REPUBLICANS HOLD MEET AT REPUBLICANS HOLD MEET AT COLORED CHURCH IN BISBEE Mrs. Lynell Reid, directress of the Women's National Bureau of Republican Activity for Cochise County, held an enthusiastic meeting in the C. M. E. church at Bisbee last night which was well attended by the colored citizens of the hill city. A club was organized with Mrs. Carrie Thornton, president, and Mrs. L. Watson, secretary. The meetings indicate a full registration of the colored voters of both Bisbee and Douglas. YOUNGEST FRESHMAN AND ALUMNS ARE NEGROES LAWRENCE, Kans.—A report comes from George O. Foster, Registrar of the State University of Kansas, that Georgia Caldwell, a colored girl, is the youngest student ever to enroll in that college. She entered this fall, one day before she became 15 years old. She is a near prodigy in mathematics, in which subject she will major. Another case of an exceptional Negro student occurred at the University of Michigan last June, when Alice Robbins received an A. B. degree in education one day after her 18th birthday. DETROIT CHURCH COSTS QUARTER OF A MILLION DETROIT, Mich.—As a result of the heavy migration of the colored people of Detroit, Bethel Church has had to get new quarters. The people flocked to hear the young pastor, Rev. Joseph Romez, in such large numbers that the old edifice became ing. Then business interests began activities in the church grew so great that it was utterly impossible to provide for them in the present building. Then business interest began to enroach. A good opportunity came to sell the old church for a good price and to move to a more convenient location and to put the kind of church needed for the growing population of Detroit. The New Bethel A. M. E. church, Detroit, Mich., when completed will rank as one of the largest and best equipped churches of the connection and race. The plans call for a seating capacity in the main auditorium of 25,000, with offices for pastor, secretary, trustees, stewards, stewardesses and choir. In the basement there will be a dining room large enough for 450 persons, clubs and rest rooms, and Sunday school departments for primary and intermediate classes, cloak room, service room and kitchen, gymnasium and showers, etc. The lot on which the church is being built was purchased only two and one-half years ago for $40,000. Adjoining the new church is also a double brick house, a part of the bargain. Rev. Gomez has completed his fifth year as pastor and all of this has been accomplished in the last three years of his administration. He reported as having raised this year over $70,000, twice as much as the amount reported last year. According to an article in the Kansas City Call, a group of men are endeavoring to have President F. Jesse Peck ousted, charging incompetency and inefficiency in the administration of Western University at Quindaro, Kansas. According to a bulletin issued recently by Hon. Karl F. Phillips, Commissioner, Washington, D. C., there is a total of 136,065 Negroes employed as railroad hands, including conductors, telegraphers, down to porters. CHARLES GRISSLER IN LARGER QUARTERS, 39 W. WASHINGTON A steady and well earned increase in his patronage since he first established a tailor shop at 18 West Washington 15 years ago, has made it necessary for Charles Grissler to move into larger quarters at 39 West Washington in the Walker building next to the Rialto theater. Mr. Grissler will occupy the entire lower floor of the Walker building and retain a workshop on the second floor where the skylights will afford his tailors better light to turn out the fine workmanship which Mr. Grissler's shop has always had the reputation of producing. Mr. Grissler said this morning that he now has eight expert tailors at work and if business continues to be as good as it has in the past few weeks he will find it necessary to double, and possibly triple his force of tailors. He now has two tailors on their way to Phoenix from San Francisco, which he gives credit for being the best "dressed up" city in the world. "Frisco people dress better, on a whole than the citizens of any other place in the world," Grissler declared. "Therefore it is naturally to be expected that 'Frisco would produce more tailors than any other city of its size.' Tailoring concerns from all part of the United States draw their tailors from San Francisco. New York City is next to San Francisco with Chicago third in producing expert tailors." JACK JOHNSON AIDING LA FOLLETTE'S CAUSE DANVILLE, Ill.,—Jack Johnson, former prize fighter, who recently announced that he had entered the evangelical field, addressed a La Follette and Wheeler political meeting here last Wednesday night but only after a second collection had been taken. Johnson spoke in the State Armory before a gathering composed principally of Negroes. When the first collection was taken, the chair- man announced that Johnson would not appear unless more money was forthcoming and the hat was passed again. Johnson spoke for six minutes, urging his audience to vote for La Follette and Wheeler in November. CITY STREETS VS Anybody who has traveled in an automobile has seen many miles of poor paving on country highways. This is largely due to the fact that the lessons learned by cities in street paving have in many instances not been applied to the country roads. Hence, the taxpayer pays twice for learning the same lesson. Seldom do you see a rigid, nonshock-absorbing type of pavement on a heavily traveled city street. Instead you find a resilient type of pavement capable of withstanding traffic. It must be water tight to keep the subgrade dry. Commenting on 775,000 square yards of this type of pavement laid in Portland, Oregon, since 1911, the Commission of Public Works in a recent published letter, said: "The maintenance of these pavements has been negligible, requiring slight repairs along car tracks or for service cuts. Many of these streets carry very heavy traffic, yet they are in a very satisfactory condition and give every indication of good service in years to come." Hundreds of miles of Oregon highways have been laid in a manner similar to Portland streets and they have required little or no maintenance. With such object lessons to go by all over the country, it is astonishing to see tax money wasted in experimental construction of various kinds on county and state roads. W. P. Hubbard, a business man who died recently in Pittsburgh, left $200 to foreign missions through Ebenezer Baptist church, of that city, according to his will just filed. Plans have been submitted for a new modern science building at Benedict College, according to a report announcement by the president of the institution. While cleaning house recently a worker found $1611 and some small change hidden in an old pot hidden among rubbish in the home of Charine Rosenberger, at York, Pa. We like the phase, "stand together," because together we stand, divided we fall. But somehow we like the phase "work together" just a little better. Don't fool yourself about the Ku Klux Klan. They are in dead earnest. Why not we? When a woman faints what figure will restore her? You must bring her 2. FEAR YUMA INDIANS WILL HOLD POWER Holtville Editor Sees Important Angle in Enfranchisement of New Voters Who Change Political Line-ups in Imperial County. That Yuma Indians, recently enfranchised, may hold the balance of political power in Imperial county, Calif., is a fear expressed by the Holville Tribune, which, in its current issue, says: "With the granting of the franchise to Indians in the United States who comply with the national and state laws, a new factor has been injected in Imperial valley politics. "According to L. L. Odle, superintendent of the Indian reservation, located in the extreme eastern part of Imperial county, about 200 indians will be qualified to vote in the election next after the presidential poll on November 4. Only about twenty five will be eligible to vote in the approaching election, since only that number hastened to register to comply with the state requirements. "Imperial valley elections often singe upon a few hundred votes. And accoring to Superintendent Odle, the Indians of the Yuma reservation will hold the balance of power. "Thus, say close observers of the new situation developing here a small group of persons, far from the center of Imperial county affairs, and more closely related to Yuma than to Imperial valley, will vote in Imperial valley matters, and perhaps control them. "What effect this will have in coming political affairs is hard to surmise. The Indians have in reality, it is understood, paid but little attention to Imperial county affairs. How they vote will depend upon who can gain their good will and their understanding. "That they will vote as a man with scarcely a stray, is also an accepted fact, according to politicians of the county. "All agree that the new situation will create one of the most interesting points in coming elections, and that the Yuma Indian reservation fifty miles from the county seat, and separated by an uninhabited desert, will be in all probability the battle ground." GIRL TURNS ON WHITE SAILOR WHO ABUSES HER BROOKLNY, N. Y.—Miss Henrietta Strain, a pretty young girl 18 years of age, was held under $1,000 bail for examination in West Farm's Court by Migistrate Silberman on a charge of felonious assault. The prisoner is charged with slashing the face of Walter Rugler, a southern sailor, stationed on the receiving ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Knocks Woman Down Knocks Woman Down According to Miss Strain she was leaving Van Cortland Park and entering the subway when he accosted her and when she remonstrated with him the white man landed on her jay and called her a "northern nigger." A crowd gathered, all white, but none interfered, until the arrival of the police. Both were conveyed to the Kingsbridge Police Station where the white man's excuse was that the girl was drunk and cut him without provocation. DEMOCRATS ASSAILED IN ROOSEVELT SPEECH NEW YORK,—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt aroused his audience at the Central Republican club, 23 West 124th St., New York City, to a high pitch of enthusiasm by his Rooseveltian thrust at the Democratic party. "I am especially glad to meet you colored men and women here tonight We hear a great deal of talk these days from Democrats who are trying to fool someone by pointing to the Klan as a menace. I wish to say at the outset that the only race discrimination in this country is in the Democratic Solid South, where the colored citizen is persecuted." When does a ship tell a falsehood? When she lies at the wharf. Charles R. Holton Republican Candidate Attorney General J. O.

He knew what he want- ed—and he put up an advertisement for one. He flung a shirt on a pole, at the top of his island, that, in the lan- guage of the sea, was plain to every sea-faring man.

DAVIS ASKED TO STATE HIS STAND ON NEGRO QUESTION Sg tS reteset ee td Mabe a on. 2 eee PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 25—The Baptist Ministers conference of this city and vicinity have written John 'W. Davis, Democratic candidate for President, inquiring whether or not his broad expressions in regard to “equal rights to all men” include colored citizens in view of the hos- tile attitude of his party toward them, The open letter addressed to him calls his attention to conditions op- taining in the South where the Ne- gro is disfranchised by means of the Democratic primaries restricted to white voters only. If the Negro is included in his statements, they ask unequivocally whether or not the Democratic party will subscribe to his views inasmuch as it is dominated by Southerners who advocate dis- franchisement. Text The full text of their letter is as follows: “The undersigned representing the Baptist Ministers conference of Phil- adelphia and vicinity take the liberty of addressing you with reference to certain repeated “statements during your recent trip in the West, parti- cularly in your speech at Gary, Ind., in which you made certain declara- itons as to the unchallenged demo- racy df the Democratic Party, to-wit: “The Democrats believe in a gov- ernment of ‘the people, for the people, with equal rights to all men, and special privileges to none.’ And fur- ther, “That if elected to power in November, the Democratic Party will put an end to unwarranted search seigure, will uphold under all con- ditions the inaleniable right of free speech, free press and free assembl- age.’ “You are the acknowledged stand- ard bearer of your party. If such sentiments represent your policy ot administration should you be elected President, then we cannot but hail with joy the new spirit of fairness with which you and your party have become possessed, and all the more so in view of the past record of the Democratic party with reference to the colored citizen, Southern Conditions “But candor compels us to remind you of certain undemocratic condi- tions now exisiting in the South. The Democratic party has openly violated the Constitution, which you quote, in that it has established” a one party government, which sys- tem of government could not obtain in a real democracy, “In the Democratic primaries of the South, for example, colored Demo- crats by statutory law are Prohibited from voting. And this is used as a pretext by your party to enslave ‘the Negro forever politically, so- ‘cially and economically, “While it is not the intention of this body to go to the grave yards and exhume the putrifying bones of Democratic leaders of the bast, still may we call your attention to state, and states, where Negroes are ae- nied the privilege of the franchise on the ground that he will become the equal of the Anglo Saxpn in the body politic. And such conditions are antagonistic to your declara- tions in your speech at Gary, Indiana, ‘on September 19th, when you pledg- €d the Democratic party to uphold the Constitution. Questions . “And now in view -of this open communication to you we are tak- ing the liberty of propounding to you the following questions with the hope that the answer to them may be of such character that in living reality we may be made to feel that you believe in a ‘Government of the people and for the people with equal rights to all men and speci- al privileges to none’ . 4 - “And now in view of this open communication to you we are tak ing the liberty of propounding to you the following questions with the hope that the answer to them may be of such character that in oe reality we may be made to fee that you believe in a ‘Government of the people and for the people with equal rights to all men and speci- al privileges to none’. “And here we rest our case with the following questions: “1. When you say ‘equal rights to all men,’ we wish to know de finitely whether» you include the colored citizen? “2. If 80, are you aware that you are setting a new precedent for your party? “3. And do you think that your party will subscribe to your views, knowing that your party dominates the South where these conditiois are worse, and the section from whicn the largest number of your electoral votes come? “Earnestly insisting upon a deti- nite answer to these questions, we are “Yours with greatest respect “The Baptist Ministers Conference of Philadelphia and vicinity. “L.
