This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position.—Theodore Roosevelt. VOL. VII.—NO. 10 AINSWORTH HOLDS STATE COURTS MUST BE NON-PARTISAN Speech by Charles F. Ainsworth, Candidate for Judge of Supreme Court Delivered Phoenix, October 29th. "Fellowcitizens I will talk to you tonight for a few minutes from the view point of a judicial candidate." "The constitution of Arizona has wisely removed the judiciary from partisan politics providing that no candidate for Judge of the Supreme Bench shall be placed on the ballot to be voted for at the general election as a party candidate. The wisdom of this is apparent, for in deciding a case the Judge must decide impartially on the facts and law applicable to the facts without thought of the political effect of his decision. This makes the sole qualification of a judicial candidate character, legal ability and experience and locality. Character to stand impartially for equal justice to all, the interest of the State first at heart. Legal ability consists of a foundation of careful schooling, professional training and ripe experience. Then comes the qualification of locality. "It has been the universal rule in appointing judges to the Supreme Bench of the United States, and in selecting them to the Supreme Court of a state, to give representation to the various sections of both state and nation. Different localities with their different environments, resources and industries have different needs, and their laws are therefore framed to sustain such needs, and a judge must of necessity know the laws governing the locality he represents. "Arizona, since admission to Statehood, has adhered to this rule in the selection of judges for the Supreme Court. The Northern section, with its lumber, mining and grazing, is represented by judge Ross. The Southern section, with its mining and grazing, is represented by judge McAllister. The central and southwestern section of Arizona, with agriculture practically its sole industry, has been represented ever since Statehood, first judge Franklin, then judge Baker, and now judge Lyman's refusal to be a candidate for re-election has resulted in my candidacy to succeed him in representing this agricultural section on the Supreme Bench. "For 36 years I have been a resident of Maricopa County, having come here with a college and Wisconsin law school training, and 10 years practice as District Attorney of Jackson County, Wisconsin. I have practiced law in the Supreme Court of the United States since 1900, and was Attorney General of the Territory of Arizona for four years. Since Statehood I have neither held public office nor have been a candidate for public office, unlike my opponent from Cochise County, who claims to have held public office for ten of the twelve years since Statehood, and has yet two years to serve in the office he now holds. He does not intend to give up his present office until he makes sure of another. "I am making my campaign for judge of the Supreme Court in strict compliance with the non-partisan intent of the Constitution of our State. I am not stumping the State with any party candidates as the Constitution and laws of Arizona do not warrant a candidate for the Supreme Court (a non-partisan office) discussing party politics nor claiming precedence on account of party affiliations or political belief. Any man who claims to be a lawyer, who runs for judge of the Supreme Court and seeks the support of the voters of this State by telling them he is running for a non-partisan office as required by the Constitution of Arizona, but that he is a good Republican or a good Democrat or a good Progressive, is what is commonly known as a political demagogue, trying to impress his hearers with the idea that notwithstanding his election to a non-partisan office, he will, nevertheless, be the same old partisan Republican, or partisan Democrat, partisan Progressive. Then, may I ask, why the Constitution requirement that the names of judges for the Supreme Court shall be placed without partisan designation at the --- Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes $100,000 BUILDING COMPLETED BY BLACKS OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 31.—An important step in the progress of Gammon Theological Seminary, in this city, was marked by the dedication last week of Thirkield Hall, beautiful and commodious administration and class room building just completed at a cost of $100,000. Three Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church took part in the impressive ceremonies. Bishop E. G. Richardson of Atlanta presided, Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans delivered the dedicatory address, and Bishop and Mrs. Thirkield responded. Bishop Jones in his address expressed the hope that the Seminary might continue to be a center for the promotion of a vital and ethical interpretation of Christianity, as against changeless tradition and inflexible dogma. He also made an impassioned plea that it might be always an active agency for the propagation of inter-racial good will. "In God's name," he pleaded, "Let us have less of hate and more of love. understanding and fellowship. Surely there is enough in Christianity to enable us all to put aside bitterness and rancor and stand together in mutual good will and helpfulness." The new building is three stories high, of brick and stone, and very impressive in its architecture. The work was done by an organization financed and managed wholly by Negroes. "The Service Construction Company," which secured the contract on competitive bid and carried it out to the letter. Dr. P. M. Watters, President of the Seminary, paid the construction company a high tribute for their faithful and efficient work and stated that the building would ever redown to the honor of the colored people. Funds for the erection of the new building were supplied in equal parts by the Methodist Seminary and from endowment income. Bishop and Mrs. Thirkield, for whom it is named, were sent to Atlanta to open the school in 1883, at which time there was but one member of the faculty and two students. Since then the school has sent out 1500 alumni and now enrolls annually more than a hundred men and women preparing for the ministry and other forms of Christian work. Among its distinguished alumni are Bishops Jones Camphor and Beckett. After the dedication, the beautiful dining hall recently erected was formally named Bowen Hall in honor of Dr. W. E. Bowen, for thirty-eight years a member of the faculty. CORBETT USEDJACKSON AS A STEPPING STONE NEW YORK, N. Y.-In a series of articles dealing with his memorable fight with Peter Jackson, James J. Corbett, former heavyweight champion of the world tells of how he sought a battle with Jackson so as to get closer to John L. Sullivan and the championship. At the time, after first meeting and telling Jackson to get a reputation, Sullivan had refused the Negro Australian a battle because he was a Negro. Corbett saw the wonderful record Jackson had made in a few years of battling and figured that a fight with Jackson, even if he didn't win, would bring him into the public eye enough for him to demand a bout with Sullivan. The Sullivan bout with its memorable result came as Corbett had planned. The bout with Jackson was fought for the largest purse ever offered up until that time, $10,000. top of the ballot above all the party candidates thus making it impossible to vote for a judge by voting a party ticket. "If you men and women of Arizona see fit to elect me to the Supreme Bench, you will find me abiding firmly by my platform of equal justice to all, decisions in accordance with the facts and the law applicable to the facts, irrespective of person or party, bringing the experience of 48 years of legal service with its cumulative knowledge of the laws governing the conditions of this agricultural district together with those of the entire State, a qualified lawyer for a non partisan office." CALVIN COOLIDGE Our leader fell in Frisco, 'twas Harding, kind and true, We found a man, Cal Coolidge is his name. A scholar and a statesman, he's led us safely through, This Yankee boy has never lost a game. His home is in the White House, his work has just begun, So keep him there, he'll do the best he can. Just sign him four years longer, he'll score the winning run, "Hurrah" for Calvin Coolidge, he's the man. He's never loud or noisy, nor tries a "grand-stand-play," He's always in the game and never "fans;" He comes from old New England, they're proud of him today, They're all for Calvin Coolidge, he's their man. Old Boston was in trouble, with danger all around, She called for help to stop the strikers clan; She cried for law and order, and Calvin soon was found; The job was done—Cal, Coolidge was the man! (Chorus) (4) This world is proud of Lincoln, of Garfield, Grant and Hayes, McKinley and Ben Harrison were grand. Our one and only "Teddy," the finest in his days— Now clear the track for Coolidge—he's our man. (Chorus) C. S. "JACK" STEWARD WELL QUALIFIED FOR SUPERVISOR DIST. Experience and his public record are the qualifications on which C. S. (Jack) Steward is taking his stand in seeking re-election to the Board of Supervisors of Maricopa County from the First District. This District embraces the following precincts: Phoenix Nos. 4, 11 and 12; Park View; Mesa Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4; Tempe Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4; Chandler East and West; Alma; Gilbert; Heard; Lehi; Broadway; Kyrene; Goodyear and Higley. Mr. Steward was first elected a Supervisor in Maricopa County in 1904 and served out his term of four years. He was elected again to that position in 1920 and completes his term December 31, next. These two terms, the candidate feels, have well qualified him to protect the taxpayers' interests and have given him the necessary experience to administer county affairs judiciously and expeditiously. Mr. Steward pledges himself, if elected, to "be on the job every day in the future as I have done in the past." FINLEY WILSON AFFIRMS HIS ALLEY WASHINGTON, D. C.—In an address at a recent republican rally held in the auditorium of Dunbar high school, J. W. Finley Wilson, exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., declared his unwavering allegiance to the Republican party and branded as a "false alarm" the inspired rumor to the effect that there is to be a wholesale desertion from the Republican ranks by the colored voters. Because of his personal contact with active men in all parts of the country, possibly no other man is better informed than the exalted ruler, concerning affairs pertaining to our group and his positive stand for Coolidge and Dawes is indicative of the prevailing sentiment among our thinking men and women. The exalted ruler said, "the black soldiers of yesterday are the black soldiers of today, and the black soldiers who have broken up every war since the revolution will again come to the rescue of the country whose prosperity and general welfare is best promoted by an adherence to the economic policies of the Republican party as enunciated by Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes. ROME, ITALY, LAYS PLANS FOR TALLEST BUILDING ROME, Italy—Premier Mussolini has approved plans for the tallest building in the world to be erected in this city. It will be 80 stories high contain 4,500 rooms and will be modeled somewhat after the Woolworth building in New York city. The building will be a monument to fascism, Mussolini's party. Mario Palantti, an Argentinian, is the architect. Words and Music by R. K. Stanley, Greensboro, N. C. CHORUS at the White House, his work has there, he'll do the best he can.

Mr. Dixon won the $400 first prize in the Western Artist show at the Biltmore Hotel, Los Angeles, recently and his beautiful painting, "October Cottonwood," was purchased for the municipal collection of Phoenix. He has always exhibited at the Arizona Fair. Through the courtesy of the Knöedler company of New York, Paris and London the committee has secured the loan of four rare paintings. They are "The Skelton," by George Bellow, and artist whose work has been exhibited by the Fine Arts Society of New York and the Cincinnati Museum and reproduced in the International Studio; "Berkshire Winter," by Rockwell Kent, a member of the League of American Arts and American Painters, Sculptors and Carvers, and whose works are to be found in the Metropolitan and many others of the large art galleries; "The Blue Nets," by George Browne, and "Marine," by Paul Daugherty. Marion Kavanaugh Watchel, leading water colorist of the west coast will exhibit at the fair again this year, and Arthur Barrows of Monterey, California, will have one of his finer paintings on display. Mrs. Patton, daughter of Modjeska, of Tucson, will enter a number of etchings embracing a number of Arizona subjects. OX TEAM DRIVER. 90. COVER TRAIL IN PLANE WASHINGTON — The request of Ezra Meeker, 90, to retrace in an airplane from his present home in Seattle to Dayton, O., the trail which he, as a pioneer of the old west, covered by ox team, was granted by Dwight F. Davis, acting secretary of war. Ezra, who a few years ago drove an ox team to the White House, was much stirred by the adventure of the world flyers. The war department at first hesitated when it received Meeker's resquit, but, an opportunity occurring through a projected hop eastward by Lieut. Kelly of transcontinental fame, it was decided to grant the request. CYCLONE CARRIES TURTLE ALIVE TO THE NEXT TOWN HIGBEE, Colo.—According to John Lusby, a storm which developed cyclonic proportions recently transported a turtle about as large as a saucer, from Glasgow, a nearby village. The turtle fell from the clouds to the pavement, and apparently suffered no injury because of its unusual experience. 10TH CAVALRY BAND ALSO 25TH INF. BAND TO BE AT STATE FAIR Five of the most splendid band organizations of the southwest will furnish the music for the Arizona State fair during the week of November 10-15, inclusive, if pending arrangements with the Fari commission are carried through, it was announced today by the Fair commission. The famous Twenty-fifth Infantry Band of Nogales will be brought here under the leadership of Leslie King. The Tenth Cavalry Bugle Corps, composed of 24 mounted buglers and drummers, will present another phase of martial music that is destined to make a big hit with the thousands of daily visitors to the fair. Arrangements have already been made for securing the services of the combined bands of Phoenix as a Municipal Band, and the famous band of the Phoenix Indian school. In addition to these superb organizations the commission is now arranging to bring here the most noted string band of the republic of Mexico, known as the President's band of Mexico City. AGED RELIGIOUS FANATIC ARRESTED IN KANSAS CITY KANSAS City.—Local police became suspicious when they observed a man who styled himself "Jesus Christ Revealed," outwardly appearing as a Negro, but possessing blue eyes. They got a hunch that this man was the notorious leader of the House of David at Benton Harbor, Mich. With him was arrested three white women, three colored women and one colored man. At the hearing the man told the police his real soul self was at least a thousand years old and that he guessed his material self was between 55 and 60. The entire band of religious fanatics told the police that they had no earthly names, and that their home was in Heaven. During the hearing it developed that the man was not Purnell, of the House of David. The leader, it is said, intimated to the police that he would make his followers love him more to release them on $100 each. FALLS LIFELESS AFTER KISSING DEAD SISTER WICHITA, Kans.—After kissing her dead sister's lips, Mrs. Arena Snowden, 58, clutched at the side of the casket for a second and then died in her brother's arms. Mrs. Snowden arrived in Wichita just 20 minutes before she died. She was called here because of the death of her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Wright, a Kansas resident for 47 years, who died at the home of relatives in Kansas City after a brief illness. Mrs. Snowden came to Kansas in 1877. She and other members of the family homesteaded near Oxford. W. J. GAILBRAITH MAKES STATEMENT REGARDING HAYDEN The growth of the "discontent" vote of both political parties indicates a great many changes in political circles as a result of the forthcoming elections, according to a statement made by W. J. Galbraith, Republican candidate for Congress. "According to the Literary Digest poll, over 20% of the voters belong in the "Discontent" class, a class who "Don't know what they want but do know that they don't want what they have got." "This condition comes," stated Gaubraith yesterday, "from the continuation year after year, in office, of many of the same men, the pyramiding of their obligations and the fact that in the course of time they cease to represent the people who elected them. "Experience teaches us time and time again that with most men they cannot wisely be continued in office term after term to succeed themselves. "When we stop and think, we realize and appreciate that men in public office who are continued term after term must constantly and increasingly become more and more under obligations to certain interests and to certain individuals, and to the almighty dollar. There is a constant tendency to forget the true consideration of those and the people whom they are supposed to represent. "Indeed, this experience has been so universal that it has become one of the tenets of the democratic party, and they have been the leading advocates and urge the principle rotation in office. "If certain democratic voters feel that after six successive terms, Mr. Hayden is beginning to show symptoms of being under obligations to certain interests and showing a tendency to forget and disregard the voters who have so long continued him in office, they must remember that, by their continued support of him they are, indeed, flying in the very face of what experience teaches and contrary to the doctrines of their own party." SCIENTIST SCOUTS Professor Franz Boes of Columbia university and curator at the American Museum of Natural History, in an article entitled "The Question of Race Purity," published in the American Mercury for October, attacks the doctrines of race inferiority and race superiority and asserts that science has yet seen no proof that any race is superior to any other. "I insist," writes Professor Boas, "that nobody has ever given satisfactory proof of an inherent inequality of races, and that the final solution of this problem still has to be found." Professor Boas finds that people of different races can adjust themselves about equally well to varying climates, and to different kinds of talks although there will be great variation among the individuals of any group. "The claim for the superiority of pure races has never been substained," writes Professor Boas. "As I have pointed out, the purity of any given racial type is a debatable question, and the claim that only extreme types are pure is founded on a misconception." Concerning the prejudice against Negroes in America, Professor Boas writes: "It is particularly worth remarking that the current unfavorable opinion of the Negro is based largely on complete ignorance of African native conditions, and of Negro achievements in the industries and arts and in political organizations and that likewise the glorification of our own race is founded exclusively on a consideration of the cultural opportunities given to the few and on the complete neglect of the cultural primitiveness of the great mass of individuals, which finds expression intellectually in the uncritical acceptance of traditional attitudes and emotionally in the ease with which they succumb to the power of fash A STRONG CHARACTER 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.—Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year HERE YOU ARE FOLKS! A CLOSE UP OF THE 3 POLITICAL PARTIES WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE FOR US 1 They have disfranchised the colored people—taken away our right to vote—in every state where they had strength enough to do so. 2 They have passed segregation laws, and enforced them rigidly against us. 3 They have practiced Peonage systems wherever the best citizens would tolerate it. 4 They have tolerated the lynching and burning of our people, when they could have passed laws preventing it. 5 They have sustained an inequitable division of taxes for educational purposes. 6 They have passed Jim-Crow car laws and forced us to submit to them. 7 They are now bringing suit to prove the 14th Amendment unconstitutional, which would disfranchise every Negro in the United States. WHAT LA FOLLETTE WOULD DO FOR US He would empty the dinner pails of Twenty Thousand railroad men earning Forty Million Dollars a year. That is what the Howell-Barkley Railroad Bill means to Negro sleeping car and dining car employees. It is supported by La Follette and the Democrats. La Follette proposes to change the Constitution of the United States. "Don't forget that tinkering with the Constitution is dangerous business, and that in making of many laws there is bound to be much foolishness." Colored people especially should beware of La Follettism as applies to this Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is our friend—it defeated segregation by ordinance and disfranchisement by the Grandfather Clause. "Don't forget that if the freedom of the Supreme Court is curtailed, we shall lose the good protection of an unbiased, unprejudiced judiciary which has stood as a Gibraltar of our persons and our property." WHAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE, FOR US 1 They passed the 13th, 14th, 15th and 19th Amendments to the Constitution making all Negro men and women American citizens with the right to vote. 2 In Republican states they have given us good schools. 3 The Harding-Coolidge Administration has distributed the following public offices to Negro citizens—1 Minister to Liberia, 2 Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, 1 Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, 1 Collector of Internal Revenue, 1 Comptroller of Customs, 1 Special Assistant and 3 Assistants to the Attorney General, 1 Special Assistant in the office of the Department of Justice at Cleveland, 5 Assistant United States District Attorneys, located respectively at Boston, New York, Newark, N. J., Chicago and Cincinnati; 1 member of the Board of Meditation and Conciliation, an Assistant to the Alaskan Railway Engineering Commission, 1 Assistant Chief Clerk-at-Large to the Postal Railway Mall Service (the first high position ever filled by a colored man in the Post-office department); the Commanding Officer, the Chief Medical Officer, the Medical Staff and the entire subordinate personnel of the United States Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama. Think on these! ionable passions. We may say with certainty that the local types of a hereditary differences in mental characteristics between the types as a whole are most unlikely. We may say furthermore, that cultural antropology makes the existence of fundamental racial differences very improbable." Harold—Oh mother, I got one hundred in school today in two subjects. Fond parent (kissing him)—Well, well; in what subjects? Harold—Fifty in reading and fifty in arithmetic.

GO AND VOTE Approximately 49 per cent of the country's voters exercised the right of suffrage in the last presidential election. In 1922, thirty-four United States senators were elected by percentages ranging from 5-3 per cent to 41.9 per cent. The average was less than 25 per cent. The above figures, taken from reliable sources, indicate the laxity on the part of many of our citizens to contribute an intelligent share in the functions of their government. Before complaining of the ills of public administration, whether county, state of national, ask yourself the question, "did I vote?" If the answer is "yes," that question is settled, and the matter complained of stands upon its own merit. The responsibility of voting is individual, the same as law-abiding citizenship is individual. Organized effort can help in getting out the vote, but a county, state or nation cannot be made better by able-bodied citizens who must be dragged to the polls. A mark of good citizenship attends the man or woman who first weighs well the issues, who knows his or her responsibility as well as privilege, and whose every wish for good government is put into action by the casting of a well-considered ballot. VOTE FOR YOUR FRIENDS Some of our people who are dissatisfied with the conduct of the Republican leaders in certain states are urging the colored voters to desert the Republican party and cast their lot either with the Democrats or some new party. The colored voters are hereby called upon to characterize this as nonsensical advice and to turn a deaf ear to such prating. We know the Republican party; we know what it has done, what it is doing; and what it will do. We also know what it will not do. Among other things we know that party wants us to have a share in the government; it gives us political recognition; it divides the spoils of office with us, it admits justice and in that way aids in preserving our rights as American citizens. We know the Democratic party also. We know that it is against us now and forever; it has disfranchised us wherever it could, it has passed all sorts of discriminating laws against us, it has put us in Jim-Crow cars; its leaders have told us plainly that we are not wanted in that party. We cannot see by what rule any self-respecting Negro can ask his people to vote for the nominees of the Democratic party. Moreover the economic policy of this old party is unsafe. Whenever it comes into power, business suspends, labor gets scarce, panic ensues, and the commercial life of the nation becomes demoralized. We know the third party as well. They are socialists, revolutionists, who believe in government ownership of all public utilities; and in setting aside the constitution of the United States. It has pronounced leaning toward anarchy and disruption. Our people are fully justified in refusing to support it. They should not allow themselves to listen seriously to the preachments of its inconsistent orators. We are not willing to believe that any reasonable portion of colored people anywhere will cast their fortunes with this new and untried political amalgamation. We are firm in the belief that our people will be loyal to the Republican party; that they prefer to endure the ills that are upon them rather than cast their lots with those they know not of. We are confidently expecting that the proclamation will go forth on the 5th day of November, that the nominees of the Republican party, in both state and nation have been elected by overwhelming majorities, that the government is still safe, and the business interests of the country have not been disturbed. CONSISTENCY One great element of strength in the Republican party is that it consistently follows its policies, and has not one face for one section of the country and an about face for another section. Its principles, policies and practices are consistent. It stands for protection to southern industries as well as northern, eastern and western. It stands for protection of agriculture as well as industry. But how differently situated is the Democratic party and its representatives. In Congress southern Democratic representatives vote for tariff protection for tobacco, a great southern crop, but would deny this same protection to the crops of the west. The Democratic party, in absolute control in the South, disfranchises the Negro, but in the North makes a bid for the Negro vote. The Democrats pose as the friends of labor, but vote a free-trade tariff law which induces Americans to buy cheap goods manufactured abroad, thus closing manufactories in America and throwing thousands of laborers out of employment. The Democrats must take into consideration geography and locality when their campaigners deliver addresses, having a different speech for the different sections of the country, while Republican spokesmen are in the enviable position of being able to face any audience anywhere and advance the same line of argument. TAKE YOUR CHOICE Candidate Davis in his speeches pretends to see a lack of unanimity among supposed factions of the Republican party. Let's make a comparison. It took the Democratic convention two weeks and 103 ballots to arrive at a nomination of Mr. Davis. The Republican convention nominated Mr. Coolidge on the first ballot. All of which is a fair indication of the respective states of unanimity among the members of the two parties. FOR THE COMMON GOOD "No individual or group of individuals," warns President Coolidge "may expect any governmental favors in return for party assistance. Whatever anyone gives must be given for the common good, or not at all. Contributions can and will be received on no other basis." With that spirit governing the campaign, a clean government, free of political promises, is assured for another four years. Incidentally, President Coolidge has applied to the campaign the same principles that govern him in his official acts, and has warned the campaign managers that efforts for his election must be limited by available funds, just as he insists that government expenditures must be limited to income. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING C. E. BEACH REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE for CORPORATION COMMISSIONER Election Nov. 4, 1924 Republican Nominees For President For Vice President CALVIN COOLIDGE MASSACHUSETTS CHARLES G. DAWES ILLINOIS KLAN A MENACE TO DEMOCRATS Because some of the Democratic leaders are openly fighting the Ku Klux Klan by no means argues that they have any better feeling toward the Negro's political status in this country. Who has made a more valiant fight to put a plank in the platform of the Democratic party denouncing this nefarious organization than Sénator Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama? What state in the Union has a more determined constituency opposed to Negro manhood rights and citizenship than has Alabama? Indeed, the opposition to the Ku Klux Klan does not in any manner mean better treatment of the Negro, but it is to prevent a break from their party of the Jews and the Catholics, of whom there are any number of these two groups in all the Southern states; and if the Ku Klux Klan organization continues to function and create trouble, it will not be long before the Catholics and the Jews will have to try to find a way to protect themselves against the Klan's opposition to them—more from a political standpoint than any other. THE MAN WHO CAN LAUGH The man who is able to laugh under oppression, to see the humorous side of the most serious situation, to extract a brief surcease from the horrors of impending disaster, is, to say the least, a philosopher. He is akin in spirit to Socrates. There was a tradition that Zantippe, the wife of that great thinker, the absent-minded husband, who had the rather bad habit of going about the city poorly, and at times, almost indecently clad, would steal up behind him a-tiptoe when she desired to surprise or assail him. Socrates was too magnanimous and devoted a husband to upbraid his wife alone, or to speak of her disparagingly to others. To ease the situation, when he observed her approach, and pretending not to see her, he would remark to the young men who always surrounded him that the mass of women comprising the good, ordinary housewives of his acquaintance walked slowly and secure upon their pedal appendages in the public streets; but a woman of genius and extraordinary talents—the paragon of the gentler sex—such as was his spouse, disdained to pursue the common ambulatory habit of her kind, but with feline ease or the avidity of the feathery tribe, came as a silent ally of the wind, which no one can chart or tell its intended course. When Zantippe descended upon him, he appeared surprised, and took with equanimity his scolding or his beating, as the case might be, while his disciples, looking on, knew not which the more to admire, the stately amazon or the unruffled seer. In very much this mood has the Negro race carried itself during all of its dark history in this country. Scourged as a slave, scorned as a freeman, and caricatured as a human being, the Negro has been able to laugh to keep from weeping, to smile because love conquers, and to grow and multiply, even as the ancient Christians did, because of this racial trait of adaptability for the time being to all sorts of conditions. The Negro is essentially a serious human. His care-free behavior is but the outward sign of his abiding optimism, his unshaken faith, his undying hope of a better day. Such a race was not born to die. Its life is immortal. The spirit that animates it is verily of divine origin. It can not be distinguished. Many leaders of the race become impatient, desire immediate action, demand to be heard now. They are the pioneers, the trail blazers, the men born, as it were, out of season. But the great laboring, teeming army of ordinary men and women, pursuing the even tenor of its way, fights the day's battle with the ammunition ready at hand, and looks to the Great Commander for ultimate victory. In patience there is power. Houston Post-Dispatch—The greater efficiency of the railroads under private management is evidenced in the report that there are now $8\frac{1}{2}$ per cent fewer people employed by the roads than when the roads were under government control. And yet the roads during the past year have handled considerably more business than during the last year of Federal control. A. E.

Dawes was commis- sioned to organize the departments and put the machinery of this law in motion. Calvin Coolidge has for the past two years been the nation’s finan- cial manager: Results Expenses of the national govern- ment for year ending 4 Fume 1921 se-eee.ee-$5,538,000,000 Expenses for year ending June 1922 .....$3,795,000,000 Expenses for year ending June 1923.....$3,697,000,000 Expenses for year ending June 1924 .....$3,497,000,000 ' Total saving for three YORE voeeereneenrnre $54625,000,000 —an amount equal to more than twenty-five per cent of our na- tional debt.

Mr. Coolidge’s estimate of the 1926 budget is that total appro- priations, exclusive of — interest on the public debt and postal ser- vice will not exeeed $1,800,000,000. It is unnecessary to suggest that every dollar of governmental expenditures comes directly or in- directly out of the peoples’ pocket and every dollar by which our gov- -ernmental expenditures can be re- duced means a dollar in the people’s pocket.

Central Arizona, the prin nearly half the population o resentation on the Supreme Graham County, represents 1 doe Ross from Yavanai years, and has practiced in the Supreme Court of the Unit- ed States twenty-four years. Central Arizona, the principal agricultural section, with nearly half the population of the State, is entitled to rep- resentation on the Supreme Bench. Judge McAllister from Graham County, represents the southern part of the State, Judge Ross from Yavapai County represents the northern section, Judge Lyman, of Maricopa County, retiring, leaves central Arizona, the agricultural section, without a repre- sentative on the Supreme Bench unless Ainsworth is elect- ed his successor. Vote for Ainsworth. He stands where the Constitution of Arizona declares he shall stand, at the head of the bal- lot, above partisan politics, for all the people. Heard did not mention Coolidge in his speeches around the State? WHY IS IT THAT: ON Heard did not mention the Ku Klux Klan in any of his speeches but the one at Mesa and then said, in answer to the question as to why he did not denounce the. Klan, “For this reason: I have told them frankly, I know lots of good people who are members of the Ku Klux Klan, perfectly good people, and I am not afraid to diseuss it in-perfect candor before you and _ before them—lots of them are my friends—I think they are wrong—I don’t believe in it—I think it is a | thing which should not tempt anyone as a substitu- tion for allegiance to the Constitution.” If you read Heard’s paper, the Republican, you are fa- miliar with the blood-thirsty attitude of that paper and its continuous advocacy of hanging someone. Heard in his speeches and his paper denounces the use of the Parole system at the prison. As practically none but poor people ever get sent there, it indicates the intolerant and aristocratic attitude of Heard and his supporters. Why did Heard’s editor join the Klan and his paper give Klan propoganda such wide publicity when it was or- ganized here? A vote for Heard is a vate to suppress the ambitions and aspirations of the common man, Advertisement . Doing Fine Rev. and Mrs. 8. R. Maguntez who were recently transferred from Phoe- nix to Oakland, Cal., are doing fine according to reports, They have 2 nice comfortable parsonage, a large and growing congregation.

We wish them suc- cess in their new field, as they are deserving of all the good that can possibly come to them. Ainsworth li Arizona’s constitution pro- hibits candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court having their names placed on the ballots at the general elec- tion as party candidates. Ainsworth contends that this also means that a candidate for a judicial office should refrain from discussing or claiming precedence on ac- count of party affiliation or political belief, the sole test of qualification being charac- ter, legal ability and locality. Ainsworth is strictly tem- perature, using neither liquor nor tobacco. He stands for justice and law enforcement. A college and law school graduate, he has practiced law over forty-five years, thirty-six years in Maricopa County, Arizona. He was District Attorney of Jackson County.
