Phoenix Tribune

EMANCIPATION NUMBER VOL. IX.—NO. 373 NOW POLITICS There are over 5000 colored voters in Arizona and if they can be made to realize their power, they will play an important part in the forthcoming election. Politicians as well as others know that in union there is strength, and if these voters can be directed in one way, their influence will be felt. The leaders of our group should marshal their forces, instruct them on the merits and demerits of the various candidates, so that they may be able to vote intelligently. The Phoenix Tribune as an independent progressive journal, will carry the advertisements of the different candidates and leave it to the judgment of its readers to distinguish between the good and the bad. We desire to give all candidates an equal break, and the columns of the Tribune are open alike to Democrats and Republicans. If you want the colored voters to know your qualifications for office, tell them your story in Their Paper, The Phoenix Tribune. The time to organize is now. A good strong organization among the colored people of Phoenix at this time should prove very effective. Alone we can do little; together we can do anything. Get together and work together. Co-operation—that's the thing that counts. Arthur Brisbane says that a man without an automobile is like a bird without wings. If you don't own a car, get one. Everybody is doing it now. PHOENIX, ARIZ., JUNE, 1926 If you desire to enter business, but have had no training along any particular line, start a newspaper. It's a cinch, and easy as pie. Try it. The future looks bright for Phoenix and the Salt River Valley. What with the building of the Horse Mesa Dam and the coming of the S. P. Main Line, Phoenix is destined to become the metropolis of the Southwest. If you are not already a booster, get a horn and get on the band wagon. The "Youth Movement" is worrying educators and sociologists. But when it's in father's car at 60 miles per hour it worries the traffic officers and pedestrians. The simplest way to get the Chileans and Peruvians together would be to subdivide Tacna-Arica and advertise it as only a short hop from Key West. One hopeful aspect in cigaret smoking is that it's becoming fashionable to throw it away after the first few puffs. The only skeptical thing about the Prodigal Son Story is that when he returned he found the old folks at home Conversation can now be carried on between New York and London, but who's going to act as interpreter? If they would modify the liquor they wouldn't need to modify the law. PUBLISHED BY TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMP A. R. Smith, Pres. and Gen.

He came to Phoenix 28 years ago from his home in Kentucky and since that time has been identified with all the progressive civic movements of the city. He is a man of conservative ideas, and has built up an office force which functions with admirable efficiency. Since taking up his duties as clerk of the court, Mr. Berryman has been able to keep the expenditures of the office well within the budget outlined. Mr. Berryman is married, and together with his wife, a well known parent-teacher worker, and their four daughters, makes Phoenix his home. He is a land-owner and takes a pride in the prosperity of the valley. For a number of years he has been a member of the Presbyterian church and has supported all movements which have been inaugurated for the betterment of the community.

By the Colored People The Phoenix branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will celebrate Emancipation Day on Saturday, June 19, at East Lake park. when the program planned will eclipse all previous observances. It was on January 1, 1863, that President Abraham Lincoln issued his first proclamation, declaring that he would free all slaves. Slavery was not abolished legally, however, by this proclamation, and it was not until 1865 that the final steps were taken by congress passing the thirteenth amendment. For many years the colored people have annually celebrated their freedom. The program planned for Saturday is under the direction of James L. Davis, and will be open to all colored people of the city. The membership drive, which has occupied the attention of the organization during June will close and a junior branch will be organized at the meeting. The junior committee is headed by Betty Vann. A program of sports will be given, features being planned for men, women and children. The merchants of the city have donated some worthwhile prizes for the events. Barbecued beef, pork and chicken, together with ice cream and iced watermelons, will be served. Favors of the N. A. A. C. P. balloons will be given.

LOVETT 623 N. 6th St. PHONE 6531 Mrs. Jessie Green Shot to Death by Mrs. Isma Youngblood of Phoenix Mrs. Jessie Green Shot to Death by Mrs. Isma Youngblood of Phoenix The colored citizens of Phoenix were shocked Tuesday morning, June 15th, when they learned of the death of Mrs. Jessie Green of 1415 East Jefferson street. According to the Coroner's report, Mrs. Green came to her death from a gunshot wound inflicted by Mrs. Isma Youngblood. The shooting took place in front of Mrs. Green's home on East Jefferson street, shortly after midnight on the morning of June 15th. Friends say that Mrs. Green had been down town on business, and Mr. Joe Youngblood, while out in his car, consented to take her home. Just as the car came to a stop in front of 1419 East Jefferson, Mrs. Youngblood, who apparently had been waiting for her husband, came up and fired one shot at her husband who was sitting at the steering wheel. The bullet missed its mark and tore a hole in the windshield. Mrs. Youngblood then came around to the other side of the car, it is said, where Mrs. Green was sitting, fired one shot which penetrated the heart and caused instant death. The report is that Mr. Youngblood jumped out of the car and began running east toward East Lake Park. Mrs. Youngblood is reported to have fired one shot at her fleeing husband, but this shot also missed its mark, and the husband owes his life to the poor aim of his spouse. Mrs Jessie Green, the deceased, is the divorced wife of Paul Green, one of the proprietors of Green Bros. Barber shop on North Central avenue. She was born in Texas but had lived in Phoenix for many years and is the mother of two children, Paul Jr. and Harry Green. Mrs. Green comes from one of the most prominent colored families in Phoenix and had many friends among the better class of citizens. Her untimely death has cast a pall of gloom over the entire community. Funeral arrangements had not been announced at the time of going to press. Quietly Married Mr. Nathaniel Green and Miss Myrtle Dungee were happily united in the bonds of marriage recently. Both are popular among members of the younger set, and the Tribune joins their many friends in wishing them nothing but smooth sailing over the tempestuous sea of matrimony.

Foster this week announced his candidacy in the Democratic primaries to succeed himself as State Mine Inspector. In a statement given the Press he does not attribute the reduced number of current mine accidents to diligent inspection of mine properties so much as to the work of the mine safety organizations in the various camps of the state. "However," said Foster, "I shan't mind if the Democrats re-nominate me for office on the argument that my deputies and myself have had something to do with improved conditions in the mining industry in the state. One thing is sure, we have co-operated with the mine workmen and mine operators for better mining conditions in every way possible." Discussing general conditions in the industry, Foster said—Any one of six different prospects now under development in the state have good possibilities of making a big mine and a new mine district for Arizona." His listeners had been deploring the fact that it had been several years since a new mine district had been brought into existence in the state, but all readily agreed that at least three out of six of the better prospects now being developed give promise of such a possibility. Purity Is Watchword at Norton's Dairy Cleanliness Supreme For sanitation and cleanliness, the Norton Dairy ranks with the best in Arizona. "Purity" is the watchword at Norton's, and their Federal Accredited Herd is inspected every day, which assures patrons of this dairy the best in dairy products. The grade "A" milk produced by this dairy won first prize at the last three Arizona State Fairs. Their wagons cover every section of Phoenix, making two deliveries of dairy products daily. Physicians recommend plenty of pure milk for growing children, especially during hot weather, and Norton's milk is absolutely pure.
