splendid practice.
Occupation
The majority Of the colored people
of Phoenix, although home owners, are
day laborers and command good wage
The average weekly pay Of this work
ing class is over $1,000. The bulk Of
this money finds its way into the local
banks, while a goodly portion is spent
with Phoenix merchants. Nothing so
'impresses the visitor to this city, as
the almost total absence Of colored
faces on the streets. This is due 10
the fact that the floating element
among US forms a very small part of
our population and the worthy citizens
Of the race, who are in the majority,
are at work in their places of busi-
ness or various employments and
fnd no time to roam the streets.
Education
Our public school system is good
and we have little cause for complaint
along that line. We are blessed with
competent corps of instructors ia

No man can ever decide who his
friends are until he needs them An
other thing, the friend isn't always
the dude who makes you feel happy
with yourself and starts you looking
in the mirror to see if you aren't

can make improvements along your
lines of personality and he is also the
guy who doesn't finch when you tell
him how he can improve his psyche.
logical architecture The greatest
proof of a friend is if he will lend you
dollar when you need it and the
greatest proof of whether you are his
friend or not is if you will pay him
back friend dollar when you get it..
Friends are generally as few as Or
anges on an Esquimaux farm, yet
every man ought to have one or two
to his credit. If man hasn't got one
single friend, he is in a hard way and
needs lots of consolation.

The Phoenix Protective League is
the latest organization among the col

object the bringing together Of the
colored people on a common level foI
the good Of all. ]. A. Green is presi
