MEMORIAL TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE,.

HyhT HEN this European war be, be,
w gan the world Involuntary
speculated whether the Irish would De
loyal and the Russian Jews, because
OF the denial of home rule by Eng
land, and of civil and political rights
bv Russia. AS the United States OF
America enters this awful war the
world speculates whether Americans
of color will be loyal because OF the
denial of rights to majority OF
Them
Since Colored Americans in the
mast have offered their lives in every
way for the country, if Germany Is
seeking to induce them to revolt, II
but proves how notorious is thelr
prescription. If this nation, know
ing the active loyalty of the Amerl'
cans in the past, believes this al
legged plotting could succeed, it shows
that the government and people be-
lieye that Colored Americans are
most unjustly treated
"The Boston Branch of the Ma
tional Equal Rights League, meeting
when the country is at war, realizing
it's responsibility as branch of the
only nationwide organization formed
nv and of and led by Colored citi-
zens to oppose race and color dis
elimination, declares false all charges
of disloyalty.
"Colored Americans would be less
than human if they did not feel Dit
terlv every bar from employment,
from public accommodation because
OF our race and color. Deep is the
resentment against enforced segrega'
ton by city, state or the federal gov
ernment whether in the civil or mill
tary service. But we have no thought
OF taking up arms against this our
country. Ours it has been to save the
government from rebellion. This work
of our fathers we shall not destroy
There is not gold enough in all the
treasures of the nations of the earth
to corrupt u.s.. for it is not question
OF money, but of equality of rights.
Let neither white nor Colored
Americans seek to deny the truths OF
human nature. Soldiers of democ'
racies fight better than soldiers OF
autocracies. The same men fight bet
ter if in time of peace they can sell
their labor in the open market than
if denied work because of race; figh:
better if public accommodation IN
peace depends on conduct and the
price, than if it is denied for color;
fight more eagerly than if in peace
encouraged by possession OF free
mans ballot, than if represented by
its denial; fight with more heart IL
in peace they have court protection
than if their very race means pos
sible murder by the mob.
ITO the national government whicn
calls us all to war, to our fello"

WALKOVER FINANCING
 Is MAKING PROGRESS

Dr. Connor and Walter De Liere paid visit this week to Flagstaff and Williams, where they ordered lumber for the Walkover mine, and inciden- tally sold a number of large blocks of stock to prominent people of the mountain cities.
 MT. DeLiere, accompanied by J. D. Loper, was a visitor to Kingman We'd nesday last looking after important affairs of the Walkover company. He reports that the work of enlarging and retimbering the shaft on the mine is progressing rapidly and that with in forty days it is expected sinking to the 500 will be commenced. The shaft will be sunk on the vein, and important developments are expected at various depths.
 The mine has shown itself to be one of the most important properties in the east end of the county, having started with a small vein, which has widened to nine feet at the 300 level. The ore is rich in copper and gold, large tonnage having been shipped to the shelter that paid well. The sur face ores were arastraed and gave up gold to the amount of about S6O to the ton.

 A peculiar situation has arisen in the case of Leonard. He went with the draft boys Thursday night and has been exempted by the district board. This came about by action of the district board in reversing it's rul- ing in his case. The district board first refused to grant his application for exemption and certified his name back to the local board. Later it re- versed it's previous action and de- cided to grant exemption.
 Several of the boys from outside points were loud in their praise of the treatment accorded them in Kingman. Some of the Oatman boys, however, criticized the lack of any recognition for them in their home town.
