SUNDAY

Denver (SpeciaD proclama-
ton of Governor Shoup, November
30th will be observed throughout the
state as Health Sunday" Ministers
of every denomination who realize
that the health of the people is the
upon their congregations the need of
public health work in Colorado.
The program of the Colorado Pub
lie Health Association, which is ask
sis work in 1920. will be outlined
and support for the campaign asked.
People will be told the startling facts
that tuberculosis is claiming 100000
lives annually. 1000 of these being
little children.
Whereas tuberculosis is a men
ace to the entire world although it
has been definitely established by
scientific research that it is both pre-
ventable and curable," reads the
proclamation;
Whereas the systematic fight
against this insidious disease led by
ton with which the Colorado Public
Health Association and 1000 other
public health organizations are aff1l-
lated, has resulted in reduction in
the death rate from tuberculosis OF
80 per cent in the last twelve years;
and
Whereas, as direct result of the
war, tuberculosis is increasing
throughout the world and the need
of public health work was never
greater: and
Whereas the activities of the Col
orado Public Health Association are
financed by the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals which must produce
the funds for a statewide program
of general health work for 1920 on
a greater scale than ever before;
''Therefore, 1, Oliver H. Shoup,
governor of the state of Colorado. do
hereby declare and proclaim Sun
day. November 30th, as Public
Health Sunday. and do earnestly re
quest the ministers and Sunday
School superintendents of the
churches of our state to urge upon
their congregations and the children
of their Sunday Schools the impor-
tance of this great public health
work, and furthermore | call upon all
people of this great commonwealth
to support this work which means so
much to all and to buy Red Cross
Christmas seals and urge others to
do the same, and to support the Col
orado Public Health Association in
every way possible in its great task.

ASK PRESIDENT FOR
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION
in ARKANSAS

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 10
Fifth Avenue, New York, today made
public Il telegram to President Wilson
asking an immediate federal investiga-
tion of conditions in Phillips County,
Arkansas, scene of recent race riots,
where it is alleged Negroes are being
railroaded to death and state prison.
The telegram reads:
November IA, 1919.
MIR. Woodrow Wilson, President of
the United States, Washington,
u. c.:
THE National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, in the
name of 12,OO0,0OO Negroes of the
United States, respectfully urges the
danger to America and its ideals of
the conditions prevailing in Phillips
County, Arkansas.
ELEVEN Negroes have been SEN
fenced to electrocution in Phillips
County, six of them having been con-
victed in seven minutes, according TO
press reports, by Il jury of which no
colored man was Il member. Fifty-four
Negroes have, according to the press,
been sentenced to terms of from one
to twenty-one years in state prison.
No word has come of proceedings
against white men, although upwards
of twenty-five Negroes were killed in
the disturbances.
"a representative of the National As
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People visited the Department of
Justice in Washington on Saturday,
November l, and placed in the hands
of Mr. G. f. Ruch of that department
information giving grounds for belief :
"1-That not only had no massacre
of whites been planned by Negroes of
Phillips County, but
"2-That the Negroes in Phillips and
adjacent counties have been merciless-
ly exploited under system virtually
of peonage, and
"3-That the Negroes had organized
not to massacre whites but to obtain
legal redress by peaceful and lawful
means.
"If our information is correct. legal
lied wholesale murder is being com
mitted in Phillips County. May we,
through you. request an immediate
federal investigation?
