BOYS GETTING I .I|
 MILITARY BIT ] TWICE WEEKLY,

Members of the Boys Food Battal- ion of Phoenix are now receiving mill itary training on two days of each week, according to a report brought to this city by one of the older boys last evening. Military instructions are be- ing given each Wednesday and Friday afternoon by competent instructors.
 The older boys are now working 10 hours each day and are receiving a salary of $3. The younger boys are working S1a hours each day and are being paid $2.
 The squads are now working in the vicinity of Scottsdale and Tolleson. Much work is being accomplished, it was reported, but enough time is set aside each day for physical recreation. Baseball and other athletic teams have been organized among members of the squad and seldom day passes that some game is not indulged in.
 The members of the two squads wish to extend their thanks to Mrs. Dwight B. Heard for the athletic goods she so kindly forwarded to the battal- ions.

as republic will be able to soldify it's dis
senting elements and fight for common
cause. Russia is the largest country in the
world and, if it was made up of a united
people, it would be able to defy the world,
but owing to the chaotic conditions that do
and have prevailed therein for many years,
it can not command respect from the most
inferior nation in the world. It's strongest
character at present seems to be M Ker-
ensky who is the provisional president Of
the new republic, and it is truly hoped
that he will be able to bring peace and
unity out of the chaotic conditions which
now prevail throughout the entire land and

EMANCIPATION

Fifty-fve years ago the colored folk Of
the United States distinctly heard the blow
that broke the shackels of slavery from
them and three months thereafter they
stepped forth from their prison cells free
men and women. For two hundred years
the ancestry Of the four million freedmen
had prayed for the coming Of this emanci-
patton day. Generations Of them came and
went without seeing any hope or signs of
the coming day, but they prayed on and
prayed without ceasing and even without
Encouragement, until at last cloud Of pro-
test made it's appearance in the far North
east and as it rose higher and higher above
the horizon it grew blacker and blacker
until it took on the appearance of genu-
inc storm cloud, and still it grew until our
entire land and country was overshadowed
with it's dark and ominous forebodings. It
was in this condition when the angel Of
fate struck the terrible blow that broke the
shackels Of four million black folks at one
fell swoop. There seems to be no doubt
but that the Almighty God created the i'm
mortal Lincoln to direct the fates in order
that this emancipation blow be struck at
the opportune time, and he faltered not,
though being human, he delayed it for
moment at the crucial moment to give him
time to once more communicate with Him
who sent MIN 10 determlne IL the Time was
yet ripe to strike the final blow. It was,
He struck it Bless his memory.
The angel of Freedom had lowered over
and about the hearts of Christian white
men and women for scores of years praying
for the emancipation Of the blacks Of this
country, but the demon Of Avirice had pre-
vailed in the minds Of a great majority Of
the citizens so long that they refused to
give up the opportunity, whereby they
thought they were getting something for
nothing, and so they took frmer grasp on
the chains that bound the blacks and lis
tened not to the prayers Of the angel of
Freedom The anti-slave agitators who in
spite of oppression and even death, worked
without ceasing to educate the human mind
against enslaving fellow man, but it took
the blood Of the martyr to this cause to
arouse the nation to the evils that were be-
ing practiced in this alledged Gland Of the
free and home Of the brave" John Brown
marched upon the scaffold Of death with as
bold and unhesitating step as did the three
Hebrew children into the frey furnace or
the lions den and taking up a little black
\ child on the way to the gallows, he kissed
it and exclaimed, "I die that you may be
free.'' He died and the black folks were
made free before the skin worms had des-
