Gibbons.
Another thing that the Car
dinal said:
TRUTHFUL PUBLICITY of
the conditions Of big public SER
vice corporations in which thou
sands of worthy people are finan-
cially interested, and of all cor
porations, is necessary before
the full confidence of the people
may be gained.
"Once secured and maintained
by the exercise of this truly
Christian spirit in business, it
will lead to a SOLID FOUNDA-
TON in commercial life"
He also commented thus fa-
vorably on the action Of some big
corporations that have already
adopted the plan of TRUTHFUL
PUBLICITY:
THE people will welcome gen
eral action Of this kind on the
part of all enterprises in which
they are interested, and all cor
poration officials advocating it
deserve credit.
"All honor to the man who
has passed through the period
and battles of commercial life
with a character unblemished.
Such a man is worthy of our es-
TEEN and veneration."
Business men of CHARAC-
TER will appreciate these re-
marks from so eminent a source,
and all merchants should make
resolution today to practice
BUSINESS RELIGION, which
is tellin the truth in public
statements and selling only that
which they are willing to BACK

 OF RACES FREEDOM
The Time Has Come When the Ne
 gro Must Help Himself

The colored citizens of Phoenix last night engaged in an emancipa- ton celebration conducted under the management of the Grant Lyceum of the A NJ. l.. church and the literary society Of the Second Baptist church. There was large attendance and several interesting addresses.
 The principal address was by John II. Beck on the Status Of the Ne gro" In the course of his remarks Mir. Beck said:
 The world has formed so many bad opinions of the negro and so many Of his so-called white friends. those who are in position to do him incalculable good have failed up to date to come to his rescue and plead in his behalf. that he has de- cided, in order to change public sen timent. tear down the barriers which retard his progress. remove obstacles subdue enemies and make new friends, he must himself pick up the gauntlet. plead his own cause and fight his own battles. Others cannot and will not do so for him"
 The speaker described the depths through which the negro had come to his present estate and the achieve ments Of the race within the short time that had elapsed since it had been given chance.
