Within the past week papers of this state have carried the stories of at least half-dozen fatal pistol shootings.
 One, in Pinal county, and another in Maricopa county, appear from the evi- dence submitted in the press, to have been cold-blooded murders
 In Greenlee county, the trial of the Powers-Sisson gang, murderers of three Graham county officers and draft evaders. Is now in progress.
 Submission of the capital punishment bill for the reestablishment of the death penalty in Arizona for murder, will be one of the features of the election this fall The wave of murders throughout the state has been convincing testimony of the need of curb to potential murderers. With the fear of death removed and the short-term in the penitentiary which the criminal of the past has received, bad men have taken advantage of the citizenry of Arizona.
 Passage of the capital punishment bill should be assured in the face of testimony at hand The Powers-Sisson gangs cold blooded crime is argument enough, no matter what the verdict of the jury may be.

of the Chicago folks, especially in the
Second ward. This doesn't mean State
nor Dearborn street alone-no, not for
a minute, because our reporters have
seen this same state of affairs exist
on such streets as Forest, Calumet,
Rhodes and Vermont avenues.
Men going to and from work, espe-
cially the Stock Yards, must realize
that it is very offensive to sit in the
street car beside one who has spent
eight or ten hours around cattle and
who hasn't been told or shown that it
is just as easy and much better to
ing work. 1t is no disgrace to carry
them wrapped up in neat little bun
die.
Newcomers must learn that there
are thousand and thousands of peo-
pie in this big city that do hard work
and look neat going to and from their
work. 1t is not necessary for plaster
ers and bricklayers to get in the street
cars and brush up and sit down be-
side neatly dressed women in their
working clothes. One young lady came
to our office this week and showed us

around some grease and who had seat

| Another evil which seems to be
gradually getting hold on some peo.
pie here is the way they speak to
the street car employees, AS. matter
of course they are public servants
but the yare not mind readers. The
bell you push dosn't ring all the time
and they are not always in the wrong.

saying give me transfer" or, as the
writer often hears, come on, man,
give me a transfer; or even this,
Man, give us transfer; you'se spose
to give ev'ry one one"
Now last but not least let's all pull
together for the sake of public de-
cency, and let ministers, club workers,
and social workers get busy and break
up these evils. They are detriment
to the Race. Stop them. Stop the
young women from conversing with
young men of questionable character
on the street corners, who don't even
show them the courtesy of raising
their hats as they pass. Stop the
young miss who chatters like parrot

WOMEN THINLY GLAD AND HANG. !.
ING OUT OF WINDOWS
MUST STOP.

The attention of the Chicago Defen-
der has been repeatedly called to the
slovenliness of many of our newcom-
ers and some of our old ones (as far
as this is concerned), and we have
called the attention of our readers to
the same facts.
Since we have carefully looked into
the situation and find that it has be-
come so alarming that it hurts the
Race. the Chicago Defender has de-
clared war on boudoir caps, aprons
and overalls in the street.
The pastors of the various churches
must call the attention of our con-
the Southland and there is no mark of
servitude that must be placed on a
man or woman of color in these
climes. 1t is not necessary that when
you go downtown to wear either a
white or gingham apron in order that
the whites might know you work.
Neither is it right (and it must stop
that women of our Race get on street
cars, go to grocery stores and shop in
thoroughfares in caps that were
meant to wear around the house in
the morning. 1t is not onl ydisgust'
ing to see this, but it is very vulgar
and shows lack of breeding.
We are also sorry to say that since
the warm weather has struck this city
that some of our women insist on
going into the street with a thin calico
dress of light material on without the
least semblance of an underskirt. AS
result she makes herself the target
of grocery and store clerks, who take
it upon themselves to make advances.
Any woman who has one spark of
womanhood in her will never be seen
on the street improperly clad.
Neither will they disgrace the enigh'
borhood by hanging three-fourths of
the way out of the window, shouting
at friends or acquaintances passing by
Many of this class are men who sit
in their undershirts and women who
sit on the porch in stocking feet. 1t is

ON PAUL DUDLEY,

His Vital Extraction Reviewed"
Here is a little booklet of twenty
four pages which will astonish any
one who has an eye for things unique.
To begin with, II out of the twenty
four pages are Introductory, only five
compose tn e"Body" while the other
remaining eight are devoted to what
the Author brightly calls the after
thought"
The Author sets out to straighten
up our several Race Names and bring
us under the fold of his grand "Ethior-
ianism." But his predatory address
es go so nice and fine and his after
thought" appears so inviting that he
seems to overlook the Main subject
altogether. In most books this would
seem unusual, but didn't forget this
is no common book.
Another peculiar distinction of the
"Vital Extraction" is it's positive Dud-
leyism You never doubt who the
Book" is by. By Dudley, first, last
times although there are only about
five articles. This is certainly gener-
Gus. Still, looking at it from math-
matical standpoint or sense of nicely,
he could have added his name seven
more times and made out the full
quota for each pabge then. But we
don't urge this criticism strongly be-
cause what he lacked in numerical
strength, he certainly makes up in
variety. For instance: Dudley
Dudley the modern Doctor Race
Builder" Dudley your Advocate"
Dudley the Ethiorian" "By Dudley
Dudley the Ethnologist" and various
"gests." The author, being pains
taking one, possibly fears that in spite
of the preeminence of the authorship
at each head and through the middle
he proceeds to append the significant
IN. p. D." all along the bottom mar
gin. Surely this is Great
But you say we have nothing OF the
Main subject of the Book. There you
are. If the author says nothing about
| it do you think we are less modest
than he?
However, the language is all that 1t
could be in as much as he has ex-
hausted the dull repertory of highly
wrought adjectives. Get first your

DR.. Perry was i'll because his tremend-
Gus practice, which is equaled by few
white physicians and surpassed by
none, kept him busy day and night,
and with his dignified bearing and his
gracious courtesy with his never fail
ing smile which has endeared him to
high and low, one could hardly real
ize that he was a subject for the sur
geon's knife. But thanks to the splen-
did ability of Dr. Miller (white) and
Drs. Brown, Walker and Jones, of our
own race, he passed through the very
dangerous operation successfully and
unless unforeseen complications arise,
will soon be able to be removed to his
beautiful residence on Montgall ave-
nue.. DR.. Perry's illness was due to
the opening of the parotid gland, due
to occlusion of stone in duct, and at
the time of the very hasty operation
he was bordering on the dreaded
spinal meningitis. The best physicians
of the city are in attendance upon
him, DR.. G. w. Brown being with him
night and day.
The internes of the Old City Hos
pital are taking turns about being with
him constantly, while Mrs. Jessie Woo

two of the Races best qualified nurses,
are constantly with him. His brilliant
and accomplished wife, Mrs. Frederika

his reputation as one of the most
brilliant as well as pleasing orators
of the race. At the conclusion he was
given an ovation.

DR.. William ]. Thompkins deserves
much credit for the overwhelming sue

doubt will attain the greatest results
from the Old Hospital during the COM

Cases Reported of Two
Chauffeurs Whose Work
Takes Them to Alexandra

Two cases Of typhoid fever, appar-
emily traceable to Alexandria, have been
reported to the District health authori-
ties. Both patients are chaufreurs
whose work has carried them to the
Virginia town daily.
Assistant Health Officer Fowler said
that, while the source of the infection
is not known. It is a reasonable as
sumption that the men contracted the
disease in Alexandra. An Alexandria
citizen suffering from typhoid has been
brought to a Washington hospital for
treatment.
DR.. Fowler has not received from
the Virginia authorities the names of
any persons working in Warrington
who have homes in Alexandra where
typhoid has developed. II any cases
OF this character arise steps will be
taken to prevent their bringing the
infection to Washington.
1t is DR.. Fowler's belief that the
capital is In no imminent danger Of q
