SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The National
Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People.

!. 1t teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
accorded all their social, civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations of
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
Of it are unchristian and cruel ef-
forts of the stronger to Cypress
the weaker.
}. II combats in the courts, state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out OF race prejudice.
It aims to bring about such a
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Colored People will be
accorded all their social, civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations Of
life.

trine of the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and the
equality of all races in our Amer
lean civilization.
!. It aims to uphold the honor of
our women by opposing the pas
sage of anti-race inter-marriage
laws
). It is composed of members of both
races and sexes on terms of COM
plete equality and as brothers and
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.

QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.

Our Countrymen's Patriotism Must Not
Be Judged by Sectional Sentiment.
In an article by II. X. McWoodson
which appeared recently in the New
York Sun on the attitude Of the north
ern and southern white people toward
the colOred people as individuals and
as a race and whether the colored man
should fight for his country in case of
war the writer says:
1t is true that the black man Is no
more the pet Of the north. There was
q time that he was, but it seems now
that he is the pest" of the south and
the puzzle Of the north. The southern
ers may not be too nearsighted to see
the black mars future nor the north
erners too farsighted to see his present
condition. But il does seem that nei-
Their north nor south has very much
sight when it comes to seeing the
black man in the right light. One is
prejudice blind. and the other Is color
blind.
The white people of the south see
too much Of him. and the white people
Of the north see too little Of him. and
as q rule. the white people Of the north
judge the black race by the few they
see in the northern cities. They must
60 sOuth to see the black man. We
mean the majority Of the progressive
black men and women. There are
many leaders in the north who are
strong type Of the worth and value Of
the black mans genius.
The white people Of the south are
said to love the individual black man
and hate the black race and the north
erners to hate the individual and love
the race And here we find the black
man again between two extremes The
southerners see too much Of him and
the northerners see too little Of him.
The first blood shed for Americas in
dependence was by Crispus Attacks, a
black man. In Boston A question
comes In my mind now: Should black
man shoulder gun and go to war and

Mr.. McWoodson's argument is quite
logical, but the attitude OF white PEG.
pie north or south. whether favorable
or unfavorabe toward the colored
race, cannot blot out its loyalty to Old
Glory. The Negro will continue to
fight for his country and also fight for
the rights and protection which the

all Americans without regard to race.

Atlaata Constitution Sounds Warning.
In discussing the exodus Of colored
people from Georgia and it's cause the
Atlanta Constitution says: "'Back to

then we are confronted now by the pos

Of the wide esteem in which Mr. Muir
ply is held as an editor and praised
his work for the upbuilding Of the
Afro-American. Rev. A. L. Gaines
paid q fine tribute to the guest of
honor, reciting his services for the
race along uplift lines.
Warner T. McGuinn told Of the hos
tility Of the daily press when it comes
to publishing the bright side Of the
race, pictured the trials that fall to
the lot Of a race editor and declared
that the guest of honor had blazed the
trail in chronicling events Of racial
moment.
DR.. Ernest Lyon declared that the
guest of honor had always appealed to
him because Of his intense love for
liberty and hatred of all oppression"
Rev. George F. Bragg told Of his long
association with the editor Of the Afro
American Ledger and said he was &C
quainted with his aims and ideals.
Rev. r. w. s. Thomas in a we'll re-
ceived address praised the work Of the
race press and said that editors bring
to the front things needed for the peo-
pie.
In an address punctuated with good
stories DR.. w. A. Sinclair of Philadel-
phia praised the work Of the editor and
told Of two recent attempts to get Mr..
Murphy to accept flattering positions
out of the city.
When Toastmaster McMechen intro
duced the guest Of the evening he was
greeted with q fattering ovation.
After asserting that he thought that
he hardly deserved all of the good
things that had been said about him
Mr.. Murphy advised his hearers to
work for community and racial uplift.
II am afraid that many Of u.s." he
went on to say, ''think because we are
colored that we have no civic response
bilities, considering ourselves thing
apart in the community. I would that
all Of us would consider ourselves a
part Of the community and work to-
ward racial and general betterment.
We must get behind our professional
and business men and adequately sup
port them. In this room there are
enough brains and capability properly
directed to shape the destiny OF the
race in Baltimore. We must work for
the larger things, and then we will mer-
it general confidence"
Musical numbers were furnished by
Rev. Charles Fl. Stewart, Mr.. Howard
D. Brent, Mr.. Ernest Purviance and
Mr.. John W. Brown. At the conclu-
sion of the speechmaking DR.. Lyon pro;
posed toast to the president Of the
United. States.
DR.. w. A. Sinclair, Chris ]. Perry
and Henry Freeman, the latter Of
Washington, were among the out OF
town guests.
During the twenty years that Mr..
Murphy has published the Afro-Ameri-
ran Ledger he has succeeded in putting
1t in the forefront as to reliability and
influence. Born in Baltimore Dec. %,
1910, he received his education in pri-
vate schools. He served in one Of the
Maryland regiments during the civil
war and later entered business here.
He Is widely known in the Masonic
fraternity, having served as imperial
potentate Of the Mystic Shrine. He
has been one of the most active laymen
pf the A. M. f. church in this country
for more than forty years.

Death of Pioneer.

Last Friday evening at his
home in Snowflake, Bishop John
Hunt passed away at the age
of eighty-four years. He was
one of the first settlers in Navajo
county, settling at Snowflake in
1878. Before the advent of rail-
roads in the west Bishop Hunt
was employed by the government
to carry the mails from Salt Lake
City to Los Angeles. Bishop
Hunt was the father of twenty
five children, one of his daugh-
ters being Miss Martha Hunt,
who is the nurse in the Santa Fe
hospital here under DR.. Brown.
Miss Hunts many friends in the
city will sympathlze with her in
her bereavement.

Married in Albuquerque.

The many friends of Miss
Marjorie Boles and Jot Stiles will
be surprised to learn that they
were quietly married in Albu-
Duerque last Saturday afternoon.
The wedding had been annonnc-
ed for October, but Mr.. Stiles
expects to join the 1st Arizona
Infantry within few days, and
the young people decided to be
married at once. Only i'm
mediate relatives of the family
were present. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stiles came to Winslow for a day,
and then proceeded to Los Ange-
les for a brief wedding trip.

A second series of officers
training camps will be held be-
ginning August 9th and contin-
uing until November 26th in
eight different locations, to de-
velope officers for the second in
crement of 5000 men to be

tive draft. The qualifications for
admission to the camps will be
the same as for the first series,
but a strong effort is to be made
to get men over thirty-one, and
the number to be admitted to
training will be smaller than the
pres ent camps.
Applications must be sent to
the commanding general of the
department in which the appli-
cant lives, between June 18th
and July 18th. Citizens between
the ages of 21 and "A are eligi-

Surprising Registration.

If there were any doubts about
Young men not coming forward
promptly to register under the
selective conscrlption law last
Tuesday, they were very early
dispelled, and.the total for the
days work reached 463, a most
surprising number far exceeding
the predictions of the most opti-
mistic. Six registrars were kept
busy nearly all day, and the work
opened with a rush at the very
first hour, and until we'll along
towards the noon hour a line of
waiting applicants were ranged
up awaiting their turn to reg
lister. There was no attempt
made to evade the law, and not
a single one claimed any special
exemption as they were entitled
toSdo. Many will be exempted
by the conscription officers when
the drawing takes place, for the
reason they have dependant re-
latives, others for physical rea-
sons, and quite a number because
they are not citizens of the Unit
ed States.

Goes to Holbrook.

Our young friend and neighbor
John Drumm has purchased the
Woods barber shop at Holbrook,
and left Monday morning to take
charge of his new business.
John is a fine young man of ex-
emplary habits, good workman,
and has an ambition to succeed,
and Holbrook is to be congrat-
ulated in adding such a one to
their list of business men. For
the past year during the absence
of his father in Chicago John had
charge of the shop here.

Red Cross Meeting.

! A Red Cross rally was held at
Elks hall Monday evening, as a
preliminary to registration day.
A good audience assembled, and
short addresses were made by E.
+. Shindel. Capt. LeBarron. Rev.
W. }. Gordon, J. H. Monk and
DR.. Sampson. The purpose of
the meeting was to awaken more
enthusiasm in the matter of reg
lstratiOn and enlistment among
those who are to be subject to
the selective conscription, and
arouse the people to a full reali-
cation Of the war that is now up-
on us which must be prosecuted
to a successful conclusion. The
meeting also marked the close of
q most successful day for the
Red Cross in soliciting member
ships. Mrs. Geo. Cumming, in
charge of her force of active as
sistants who were stationed at
several different points about the
city, succeeded in increasing the
roll to nearly five hun dred
members. The whole week is tn
be devoted to this work, and it is
hoped to reach 500 before the
campaign closes. Winslow ought
to have membership of 1000,
and our citizens should come
promptly to the front with their
100 and have their names en-
rolled without waiting to be
solicited. The least one can do
in the crisis now before us is to
give their dollar to the Red Cross
society. 1t is the greatest
humanitarian organization the
world has. ever known, and it is
an honor to been rolled as a men,
Der. Let every citizen come
across with his dollar like a real
sport, and not do it grudgingly.
The women are rallying nobly to
the cause, giving freely of their
time and money, and the men
should at least encourage their
efforts by separating themselves
from a dollar for a membership.
If you can be soldier, be a Red
Crosser and show you have some
patriotic spirit.

Stealing is Not a Joke.

Last Tuesday evening the
young people of the Baptist
church held a little party at the
home of Mrs. Bowen on north
Kinsley, and while the family
and guests were out on the lawn
a party of young hoodlums enter
ed the kitchen and stole the freez-
er of cream, and two plates Of
candy. The lads who took the
freezer and the dishes had better
return them or they may find
themselves in the clutches of the
law. There were half a dozen
kids in the party, and not one
was over fourteen years old, and
we sometimes wonder if parents
realize the kind of company their
boys are associating with when
they are permitted to race the
streets at night. Boys of this
age should be at home after
eight o'clock.
