Intelligent Christian
Leadership is Crying
Need Of the West
(By Associated Negro Press)

(By Associated Negro Press)
SPOKANE, Wis, Sept 9.-St. Paul's
African Baptist church, was filled with
an audience which included a goodly
number of white people to hear an
address by Mrs. S. w. Yayton, presi-
dent of the Woman's Auxiliary of the
National Baptist Convention, repre-
senting 100000 Colored people in
America.
1.-The greatest need among our peo-
pie in the west is intelligent Christian
leadership" said Mrs. Layton. Form
erly when people thought of education
and uplift for the Negro it was thought
of as the peculiar problem of the
southland, but it is more and more
becoming northern problem, north
western problem and Spokane prob
lem. The withdrawal of an enormous
amount of labor. skilled and unskill-
ed, from northern industries owing to
the return of to their own countries
of alien workers in consequence of
the war and the enrolment in the
army of white American labor offered
openings of which the southern Negro
was not slow to avail himself
"The hope of bettering their envir-
onment and opportunities had brought
aliens to the shores of America and
the same hope brought the Colored
citizen from the south to the north.
New he is in our northern midst in
great numbers and he creates a new
problem. Let us remember the Me-
gro, whatever his faults may be, he
has always been loyal in war and
peace alike. The Negro did not start
incendiary fires nor blow up ammuni-
tion factories. 2.
'In Flanders fields, where poppies
grow" the Negro laid down his life
to extend the blessings of democracy
and freedom. 1t is incumbent then,
that when he comes into these north
ern parts he should be met, wisely,
counseled and brought under intelli-
gent leadership so that they may be-
come assets instead of deteriments in
their new, and to them, strange sur
roundings."

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 9.-In a well

time my records show that there have
been 582 women, the greater number

years of age passed through our

quents were not properly trained, and
the Colored people of Georgia are

Pres. Carranza
DeROunCeS u. S.
For Its Brutality
Especial to the Tribune)


BUENOS AIRES, Sept 6.-Presi-
dent Carranza's reference to the race
riots in the United States was echoed
in BAIL today. Writing in the Core
10 Damanha, Antonio Torres declared: :
"The Negro in the United States
lives under a regime worse than dur
ing the times of Lincoln, when his life
was saved as valuable property. To
day the Negro is like the Pole and
the Jew of Russia during the reign of
the Gar, without political guarantees
on a social horizon. His only reward
for loyalty to his country is lynching
on a trivial pretext.
"A Negro born in the United States
speaks the same language as Presi-
dent Wilson, but the savage whites do
not hear his cries of agony. People
who act in that manner have no right
to speak of the world in the name Of
civilization"

Swift & Co. Open
Cash Market Here
For Poultry and Eggs

Recognizing the great commercial
future of Phoenix and this section of
the state in general, Swift & Co. is
opening an egg and poultry produce
house at $40 South Second avenue.
1t is the first and only strictly egg
and produce house in the city and will
stimulate interest in this line. In the
past the egg and poultry line has not
been properly developed, but with a
produce house acting as a daily cash
outlet for their products, local pro
ducers will probably go into the poul-
try business with renewed activity.

CHRISTIAN (2) SOLUTION

1t is up to Congress to go to the
bottom of the matter and recommend
such steps as are necessary to put an
effectual stop to race riots. They are
drain on the physical resources of
the country and a reflection on it's
pretensions, If the two races can
not live side by side without disturb
ing the peace, they must be separ-
ated. There can be no other Chris
tian solution.-Exchange

Friendly Relations
Exist Between Races
In Augusta, Georgia
(By Associated Negro Press)

by ASSOcldIeu Negro PreSS)
AUGUSTA, Ga, Sept. 9.-If citizens
Of Washington and Chicago have any
doubt about the facility with which
the races maintain amicable relations
in the South, they should consider
this city, where there is a very large
Negro population, but despite which
there is seldom friction of any appre-
ciatae moment between the whites
and blacks.
One of the most convincing evil
dences of the regard and considera-
tion which each race accords the
other was disclosed this week when
a committee of well known Colored
citizens presented solid gold watch
fob studded with diamonds and bear
ing his monogram. The gift was made
to Strother in appreciation of his he
roic act some two weeks ago when he
risked his own life to save that of a
demented Negro woman who was try
ing to commit suicide.
The irresponsible Negro woman had
leaped into the canal, intent upon self
destruction. A passerby saw her
struggling in the water, and being un-
able to swim, summoned Strother,
who was within calling distance
Strother, an auto mechanic, leaped
into the stream with his clothes on,
rescuing the woman and with the aid
of others, resuscitating her. He then
quietly left the scene without reveal
ing his identity.
Several prominent Negro citizens
instituted search for him and after
raising the money to offer him some
concrete evidence of their apprecia-
tion asked if he would accept gift
from them. Strother consented,
whereupon the jeweled watch fob was
presented to him a few days later
The Negroes have also indicated their
intention of securing the necessary
affidavits and bringing the act to the
attention of the Carnegie Foundation
with the hope that he will be issued
a medal.

"heIp Wanted'' Notice
Gets COIOred Man Into
Serious Trouble With Woman
(By Associated Negro Press)


ROCKVILLE, Md, Sept. 9.-Failure
of Richard Genus, respected and re-
spectacle Colored resident of Pooles-
vile district, this county, to state in
a help wanted" advertisement that
he is colored man is causing Genus
lot of trouble and worry.
A few days ago Genus, who is a
widower, advertised in the Washing
ton papers for a housekeeper to take
care of his home and his children. In
answer to the advertisement a middle
aged white woman travelled all the
way to Genus home after the job.
Genus wasn't at home, But when the
woman learned that he was Colored
she left in high dudgeon.
AS soon as she got back to Wash
ington, the woman wrote hot letter
to Genus, in which she demanded
that he remit to her at once the
amount she had spent for carfare and
expenses of her trip, with something
added for salve for her injured feel
ings.
This was the neginning of Genus
troubles. He sent her at once enough
to cover her actual expenses, which
was about half the amount she de-
manded. This didn't suit at all, so the
woman in acknowledging receipt of the
letter and remittance demanded a
much larger amount than she had
asked in her. first communication. AS
she included in her letter a threat
to prosecute Genus if he failed to
"come across promptly. Genus wor-
ried quite lot. Coming to the con-
clusion that he would have to call on
a lawyer. he consulted counsel here
and passed the buck to an attorney.
He is now anxiously awaiting the out
come of his innocent effort to obtain
a housekeeper.
