ARIZONA BAPTISTS
BEING VISITED BY
THEIR NEW DIRECTOR

The Rev. Elbert Moore who was ap
pointed director of the Negro WORK
among the Baptist churches in Ari
zona by the Northern Baptist Con
vention which convened at Denver
Colorado, few days ago, arrived in
the city on the 18th instant. His mis-
sion was to meet and get acquainted
with the Baptist ministers in their
meeting that was scheduled to take
place in this city on the 11th of June
at the Second Baptist church. The
ministers failed to come as prorli sell
and Rev. ]. B. Bell, Rev. S. E. Newell
Rev. ]. Humphrey, Rev. A. c. Gil
more and Deacon Steve Howard, met
at the church on the morning of the
18th and began their deliberations
The scripture lesson was read by DIR
j. B. Bell and Rev. Humphrey invo
Gated Divine blessing upon the meet
ing.
Rev. Moore was then introduced by
DR.. Bell and he made known his bust
ness to the ministers. In the course
of his remarks he stated that his bust
ness was not to Interfere with ans
minister and his charge other than tc
help him and inquire into the coadi
ton of the ministers and theiI
churches. If he found that they need
headquarters at New York He also
stated that he would hold Bible In
stitutes at the different churches oveI
the state by request of the pastors
and their churches.
DIR. Bell gave him the names of all
the pastors and their churches. Rev
DR.. Moore does not believe a pastor
should be obliged to do laborious
work. He said a minister should be
paid sufficient salary so that he may
give his entire time to the study Of
the bible. DR.. Moore is an able min
lister and instructor. His advice tc
the ministers was to organize a Con
vention instead of an Association. This
he believed would prove more profit
able and he suggested that this con
vention be organized at once.

PHOENIX NOW HAS
COLORED MAN ON
CITY POLICE FORCE

Monday morning June Is, w. H.

sworn in as full fledged peace officer
and assigned to duty on the night
force Of the city police. He assumes
the position made vacant by the re-
signation of police officer Alejo Val
enzuela who has decided to engage
in business for himself
The appointment of Williams to a
position on the city police force rs
tablishes a precedent not only for
this city, but the entire state of Ari-
zona. Williams has been a resident
of Arizona for nearly fifteen years,
eleven years of which have been
spent in Phoenix. He has been EN-
ployed by the Ferguson-Keller Co,
for the past two years and this Com
pany sent a strong letter of RECON-
mendation to the city authorities urg.
ing his appointment. He also carried
the endorsement of the Phoenix Pro

was the father of the movement 10
have a colored man placed on the
police force.
The Phoenix Protective League was
organized last December, and has been
working for the bettermnt of con-
ditions among the colord people OF
the state. The appointment of E1r.
Williams is, in a measure, a tribute
to the members of this organization
and the direct result of concerted
action. Mr. G. H. Haywood, the man
in whosse brain the itea, plan, object
and scope of the Phoenix Protective
League originated, and who has stood
at the helm and fought for recognition
these past six months. deserves no
small degree Of praise
1t is the consensus of opinion that
Mr.. Williams will be a credit to the
police department and an honor to
the race. The Protective League and
colored citizens generally, desire to
thank those in authority for this sign
of recognition and trust this is the
dawn of a New Era" in Arizona
when the colored citizens will be ac-
corded full political, economic, edu-
cational and civil rights.

KEPT UP

If you toot your little tooter
And then lay aside your horn,
There's not a soul in thirty days,
Will know that you were born.
The man who gathers pumpkins
q Is the man who plows all day,
And the man who keeps a-humping
Is the man who makes the pay.
The man who advertises
With short and sudden jerks,
Is the man who blames the editor
Because it never works.
The man who gets the business
Has long and steady pull,
And keeps his trade and paper
From year to year quite full.
He plans his advertisements
In thoughtful, honest way,
And keeps forever at it
Until he makes it pay.
He has faith in all the future;
Can withstand a bankrupt shock,
And like a man of Scripture,
Has his business on a rock.

The Negro Workers Advisory Com
mittee of Cook County is an organiza-
tion interested in improving the in
dustrial conditions of the Negro work
ers in that community, and includes in
its membership representatives of
practically every Negro fraternal, well
fare, church, business and labor or.
ganization. 1t also includes in it's
membership some representation of
white employers and white labor.
1t is claimed by this organization
that the Negro worker suffers a great
hardship because he is shut out of
most of the skilled trades. They claim
the Negro is admitted only to the un-
skilled unions which are the least
paid.
The Negro Workers Advisory Com
mittee is not necessarily urging Ne
groes to unionize, but it is demanding
that the various international trades
unions do away with such rules and
regulations as by implication state
that there is some difference between
white and colored labor, and thereby
set up psychological barrier against
the Negro's employment in the higher
paid and skilled trades.
