XI—NO. 390 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, JULY, 1928 $2.50 A YEAR Standard Oil Employs Number of Colored Men In Its Service Stations CHICAGO—The Standard Oil Company of Indiana has recently instituted the policy of employing Negroes in its gas filling stations. This company operates in a section of the middle west in which Negroes live in large numbers. Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City are so situated, and in each one of these cities, with the probable exception of Detroit, colored men are employed. In Chicago they are in exclusive charge of two filling stations; in St. Louis one; and in Minneapolis one; and employed as attendants in Springfield, Illinois, and Kansas City, Missouri. They are also operating four greasing stations in Chicago. These jobs are the result of an appeal to Colonel Robert W. Stewart, President of the company by the National Urban League through its Industrial Relations Department some months ago. The League used the company's successful operation of its only station then manned by Negroes to prove that the use of Negroes would not cause a decrease in business; but on the contrary would stimulate business from Negroes. In the case of this station the general physical appearance so improved under Negro attendants and the business so increased that it is one of the best in St. Louis. Prizes have been awarded to it for external appearance and volume of business.

D.'s, Dentists Convenes in Baltimore JACKSONVILLE, Fla-The annual convention of the National Medical Association will meet at Baltimore, Maryland, August 13th to the 17th. The president, Dr. C. V. Freeman, is doing everything possible to make this the greatest year in the history of the organization. He has traveled extensively and made many contacts that will mean much to the National Medical Association. The president states that altho only 2,000 of the 6,000 eligible professional men, for membership in the Association, were members of the Association at the beginning of the year. A large increase is expected in membership when the reports are received at the Baltimore meeting. Splendid arrangements are being made at Baltimore, for clinical and scientific work at prominent hospitals. We are expecting to make this a post-graduate week in medicine and its allied branches. Our one aim is that the men will gain valuable information by attending these meetings so that they will be better able to serve humanity. The National Medical Association is expecting at least 3,500 physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists at Baltimore. With this we feel that this will be the most powerful organization of our group to help humanity in their various communities. Begin now to make preparations for Baltimore.

Emmons today announced his candidacy for the nomination at the Democratic primaries for the of- fice of constable of the East Phoenix precinct. Mr. Emmons was born in Okla- homa, but for the last 28 years has resided in Arizona, and for the great- er part of that time in Maricopa county. He has been a resident of Phoenix for many years. Mr. Emmons is married and has a family of five children. He has had several years experience as a peace officer and feels that he is qualified to discharge the duties of the office to which he aspires, and that if elect- ed he will be able to render satisfac- tory public service. He is a taxpayer ir Maricopa county and has been for many years. He is closely identified with the Democratic party and has heretofore been active in support of the candidates of that party. He has never before run for public office. He seeks the office uow, on his merits, feeling that he can perform the duties of the office, with credit to himself, and satisfaction to the public.

Callaghan. first State Auditor, 30 years a resi- dent of Arizona and a taxpayer, be- comes an aspirant for the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State. As State Treasurer millions of dol- lars of public revenue has passed through his hands, the conservation of which has involved no small re- sponsibility. It has devolved upon him to defend his position in court, and the Supreme Court has decided each case in his favor. Mr. Callaghan subscribes to the dictum that pwhblic office is a pub- lic trust; that faithfulness to that trust is the best service to party, and is, by the same token, the best politics. He has striven for a record which might commend him to the further consideration of the Arizona electorate. The duties of his present office, together with poverty of purse, will combine to preclude him from mak- ing a general handshaking campaign, and his reliance, therefore, is upon his known record. Humbly, but in the profundity of high confidence, he submits his can- didacy at the primaries to the Demo- cratic men and women of Arizona, believing that the service he has sought to render them will not go unremembered. W. T. Linville Will Seek Supervisor Post In District No. 2 W. T. Linville, Democratic candi- date for supervisor, District No. 2, is one of the pioneers of Arizona. He came to this state 43 years ago with his parents and for a number of years was engaged in railroad work and later in stock raising. He is the father of W. H. Linville, pres- ent recorder of Maricopa County, and is a nephew of the first super- visor of Maricopa County. Mr. Linville is a taxpayer of this county and never before has he sought public office. “Loyalty to the taxpayers of Maricopa County, Ari- zona and its resources for Arizon- ans,” is one of the main planks in his platform. He also pledges him_ self to unqualified recognition of home industries on all public work. A. F. Sutter Seeks Constable Post in E.

Sutter is now a deputy sheriff, having served under Jerry Sullivan, also un- der Jeff Adams. Sutter’s friends claim that he is eminently well qual- ified to serve as constable of Hast Phoenix precinct and is the logical man for the position. Dan E. Jones Announces Candidacy for Sheriff of Maricopa County In announcing his candidacy for sheriff of Maricopa County, Dan E. Jones comes before the Democratic voters as one of the most acceptable and best qualified men for the office. He served under the late sheriff Sul- livan as deputy, and has been con- nected with the police department for a number of years. Jones’ friends claim that he is well fitted by training and experience to fill the office of sheriff, and that he will administer the affairs of the office in an efficient, capable and courteous manner. He believes in the strict enforcement of all laws, with- out partiality, and pledges himself to the principle of a “Square Deal” to all.

There will be disap- pointment for some when the smoke of battle has cleared away. and there will be rejoicing in the camps of others. Every one loves a_ winner, but not every one can pick a winner at the beginning of the race. Some of the candidates are so confident of winning that they do not see the need of publicity. Perhaps they are right, nevertheless the odds are against them. Again this year as in 1926, the Colorado River is the main issue in the state campaign. All candidates for Governor will have to state their position on the question of the Colo- rado River. Lower taxes, efficiency, business administration and what nots, sound good, but all will have to take an uncompromising stand on the Colorado River. The voters of this state demand it and no candi- date for Governor can evade it. It is our opinion that more candi- dates should enter the primaries so the people may have opportunity of choosing the best man in either party to be their standard bearer. If only two are in a race it is less interesting than where three or more are entered. In some of the places to be filled there is only one candidate. This ought not to be, as competition in all lines of endeavor is necessary. Distinguished Visitors Mrs. C. H. Phillips and daughter are visitors in the city, the guests of Rev. F. W.

The Rising Negro Emporia Gazette The Negro professional man in America, outside the larger cities, labors under tremendous handicaps. Considering the obstacles imposed on them, it is amazing that so many have been able to succeed. In the larger cities, brilliant Negro lawyers and singers, successful Negro surgeons and actors, are no longer a curiosity. But the Negro professional man has to contend with the prejudices of his own race, as well as those of the white people. Many Negroes, accustomed to take the white man at his face value, unconsciously accept his assumption of superiority in the professions, and when they are sick or when they need a lawyer, they prefer to entrust themselves to a white doctor or lawyer, although there may be Negro professional men who are much more highly skilled. These prejudices are as deeply ingrained in the Negro race as they are in the white race. It is commonly observed, in states which permit traveling Negroes to eat in the dining cars, that --- PETER H. W. A.

PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING the Negro waiters frequently take occasion to slight and to insult in small ways the Negroes who venture in. The Negro waiters feel that the Negro diner is "putting on airs" by eating in the dining car, and take occasion to show their prejudices. The Negro race, if it is to gain equality in the professions with the white race, must respect its own professional men—its many brilliant teachers, actors, lawyers, doctors and ministers. Negroes should be proud of the success of Roland Hayes, Charles Gilpin, Florence Mills and others who already have commanded the respect and admiration of the white people. Furthermore, Negroes should assist in every way members of their own race, at present unknown, who are struggling for similar eminence. For if these Negro professional men do not have the respect of their own race, they cannot hope to gain that of the white.

DEMOCRACY This is presidential year., and the two great parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, have held sessions and selected their standard bearers for the November election. They have written the party platform and the outstanding planks in each one is said to be on the liquor question as defined in the Eighteenth Amendment, but no matter what the party leaders may say, and political heads may write, this great nation of ours has come to the point where the Constitution is to be properly interpreted. At last there is to be a decision, not on the issue of religious tolerance, neither whether this country should be wet or dry, BUT the most vital question in the world that has ever yet been properly settled, which is whether this great nation is a strong and potential central government with each state subordinate to the sovereignty of the Union, or whether the states are sovereign unto themselves. It is a clearly defined issue upon 'STATE RIGHTS' and the Republican party, according to its principles, could not do otherwise than stand for the full enforcement of the law according to the Constitution and its amendments, while the Democrats, in making the campaign upon a wet issue, are simply following out the principles of their party, the rights of each state to deal with the conditions withing its own borders and make laws to govern the same without interference from the Union. We are again facing the same situation that confronted us at the election of Abraham Lincoln, and the same issues are before the voters of this great country, and if Al Smith, nominee of the Democratic party, is elected to the office of chief executive of this nation, it will be upon the votes cast by a majority of the American voters, who will by casting such ballots declare themselves in favor of states' rights. The Republican party must again save the Union in order to save themselves, and it is up to the leaders to lay down a campaign in such a manner that it will inspire the confidence of all of its old adherents and supporters to the point that when Herbert Hoover is elected he will become the president of all the people and utilize his good office for the full enforcement of the Constitution and its nineteen amendments.

PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING CLARION CALL FOR FRIENDLY LIVING BY TUSKEGEE PRINCIPAL ATLANTA, Ga.—"America has a supreme opportunity to show the world that two races radically different can live side by side in peace and friendship and work out their destiny together in mutual helpfulness" said Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, before an interracial commencement audience of 1500 that packed and overran the Sisters' chapel of Spelman college. "We have not yet learned fully how to do it," continued Dr. Moton, "but thousands of sincere people of both races are working at it honestly, and encouraging progress is being made." Taking as his text the parable of the Good Samaritan as illustrating the second of Jesus' great laws, "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," Dr. Moton showed how the parable applies perfectly to the inter-racial situation in America today, and made a powerful plea for an unselfish, Christianlike love of humanity that will make each race kindly, just and helpful in its attitude toward the other. Such an attitude, he insisted, offers the only hope for the solution of the interracial problem. It will work and nothing else will, he said, basing his confidence on many striking incidents from his own observation and experience. "If I could keep only one of Jesus' two great laws," said Dr. Moton, "I would choose to keep the second; for I very much doubt if there is any way by which a man may really love and serve God except by loving and serving his fellowmen. Whether you can measure up to that standard even though your neighbor be your enemy, is the test of both your education and your religion, for the primary purpose of each is to prepare people to get along together in friendly helpfulness." Dr. Moton spoke in high terms of the inter-racial movement of the hundreds of southern women who have gone on record in condemnation of lynching and in behalf of a fair deal in race relations. The occasion of Dr. Moton's address was the joint commencement sermon of Spelman and Morehouse colleges, which brought out the largest audience assembled in the Sisters' chapel since its dedication last spring by it donor, John D. Rockefeller. jr. Miss Florence M. Page Seven Read, Spelman's new president, occupied that chair and presented the speaker. The scripture was read by Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse, and prayer was offered by Dr. M. S. Davage, president of Clark university. Several beautiful musical numbers were rendered by the students under the skilled direction of Prof Kemper Harreld. EDUCATOR IS HONORED ATLANTA, Ga.—Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse college, this city, while in attendance upon the recent Congress of the World Baptist Alliance in Toronto, Canada, received from McMaster University, of that city, the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. A like degree was conferred by the university upon John Thomas Forbes, principal of the Theological College of Scotland, while the degree of Doctor was conferred on nine eminent preachers and missionaries from six different countries. The imposing ceremonies were conducted at a special convocation held in Yorkminster Church, Toronto, attended by the officials and faculty of the university and by a large number of delegates to the World Baptist Congress. Of the eleven men receiving degrees, Dr. Hope had the distinction of being one of the three from America, one of the three to speak in response, and one of the two to receive the degree of LLD. A. F. Sutter Is Your Democratic Candidate in the EAST PRECINCT for Constable PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Page Wight Alabama Klan Hangs Al Smith In Effigy, Avers OMI, CAVALLI BV Nt Ure ident, was lynched in effigy at a recent meeting in: the Nathan Bed- ford Forrest klavern of the Ku Klux Klan at Wahauma, according to a report just received. The gathering of Klansmen was an open meeting, and the curious mixed crowd numbered about 200 according to reports after some im- promptu speeches denouncing the Houston convention had been ' de- iivered and volunteer speakers voiced their condemnatiou of Cathol- icism when two klevaliers brought in a dummy, which was introduced as ‘Al Smith, Democratic nominee for president.” Those gathered were asked by the presiding officer what they wanted done with the dummy, and, accord- ing to reports, there were loud and numerous replies of “Lynch him!” One of the officers of the klan pro- duced a long knife and cut the dummy’s throat, at the same time pouring a red fluid on the neck to give the effect of blood running down the chest of the figure. One of the klavaliers then is said to have “shot the dummy through and through” after which a rope was tied around the neck of the figure, which was dragged around the hail to give those present an opportunity to kick it. One of the officers of the klan, following the mock lynching, is de- clared to have stated that such treat- ment was too good for Al Smith, add- ing that the klan would lynch the Democratic nominee with good Christian votes in November, and for the first time in its history Alabama would go Republican. The crowd witnessing the scene is described as being in a “wild frenzy” during the spectacle. Agitation against tthe Democratic nominee for the presidency is being promoted in other klaverns also, ac- cording to reports. At a recent meet- ing of one of the New York Klans, the governor was roundly denounced on religious grounds and klansmen were urged to vote for the Republi- can nominee with the assurance that they will be entirely within their rights in doing so, and they were advised that they have no need to fear that they would be penalized FIVE THOUSAND NEGROES YEARLY CROSS COLOR LINE LOS ANGELES, Cal—That five thousand Negroes of light color “pass” and become to all intents and purposes white people, was the asser- tion of Bishop J. W. Martin, of the A.M.E. Zion church, addressing a mass meeting of the National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Col- ored People in its 19th annual con- ference here. “Fully five thousand Negroes of lighter hue are forced ‘over the line’ each year, in order to get a chance to win their daily bread at the kind of work they love’ best and for which they are best fitted,” declared Bishop Martin. “IT know the mayor of a certain town who is a white man now, but as a boy he was as good a Negro as the community had, and his brother is to this day a good colored preach- er. We want the doors of all por- fessions and trades, of all skilled and unskilled labor opened to us and we want them opened wide enough for us to get in without having to ‘pass.’ “An equal opportunity to spend and to be spent along with any and all groups in this country is the demand made in behalf of the Ne- gro. We want no special favors, but just a chance to shoot from taw and keep on shooting until the game is ended.” To California Mrs. Gabie Brown and Mrs. I.
