Southern Blacks
Are Dissatisfied
With Conditions
(By Assoeiated Negro Press


Baltimore, Md, Oct. 1.-Mr. w. T.
Andrews, editor of the Baltimore
Herald" Baltimore, Maryland, takes
the following position:
ut is time for white men of the
South TO check up on their silly talk
and pretended belief that Negroes of
the South are satisfied with their
treatment and are contented and if
left alone by outsiders the two races
would get along splendidly and there
would never be any trouble, ETC., etc,
ct nauseam.
"All such twaddle is not only silly
but lie. We do not believe there is
in the entire South single county
containing a large number of Negroes
in which they are contented. Impos-
sible in the very nature of things. No
people can be contented who are
lynched, burned alive at the stake,
whose women are brutalized. who are
deprived of every right and privilege
which unjust laws can be devised to
despoil them Of"
The sentiment expressed by Mr.
Andrews is the sentiment of thought

Negro Journals
Are Not Receiving
Share of Advertising
From Republicans

Washington, D. c., Oct 1.-Some of
the newspapers are not doing so
well'' in the effort to connect with
the advertising check book of the re-
publican national committee. "In the
beginning" Col. Phil. H. Brown, hero
Of several political battles, was sup
posed to be the very first and only
dispenser of publicity favors.
However. the eastern contingent
kicked up a FUSS" and it became
necessary to have a special Eastern
Division" which in turn received
their portion of the budget. Fred R.
Moore, of the New York Age it is
stated, resigned from the committee,
when George w. Harris and he could
not agree on terms for their individ-
ual newspapers.
Now it seems that policy of
eliminating all southern newspapers
from the advertising patronage has
been adopted, and only certain news
papers in the north and east have
been put on the quadrennial business.
This condition is causing a big pro-
test from certain papers such as the
Houston Informer, in Texas, and the
Buffalo Journal, in New York state.
1t is currently reported that less than
$4,000 has been appropriated to
handle the publicity among all the
Negro newspapers throughout the
country. Foreign language newspa-
pers have been getting consideration
from the committee for several
months and the appropriation for
them is several times in excess of
Negro publications.
"The national committee seems to
underestimate the value of our news
papers. Even the southern news
papers could get consideration, not
only for their loyalty. but because
thousands of their readers now live
in voting northern states" said "a
prominent leader here.

litOr of the Phoenix Trihnna.

Editor of the Phoenix Tribune:
Dear Sir:-In your issue of Septem-
ber 25, 1920, there appeared on the
editorial page an article concerning
the support of the colored people to
the G. o. P.
In connection with the above-men-
toned article. permit me to ask a few
questions for information:
Is it true that the characters of men
are determined by tse principles they
have represented, and not what they
represent now as candidates? If so,
what stand did Mr. Harding take, or
what stand have any of the present
Republican or Democratic candidates
ever taken in regard to the bills in
troduced in Congress by Mr. Madden
of Illinois that affect the Negro?
Are not both parties controlled by
Wall Street? If so, to what extent is
Wall Street interested in the Negro?
Regardless of their own ideas, aren't
they forced to act in cooperation with
those that control them?
Haven't we for the last 40 OF so
years demonstrated to the G. o. p.
our loyalty? And, may I ask, with
what result? Possibly, you may say
for jot for few men. Then, may
l add: HE who pays the fiddler will
call the tunes?" Then what consid-
GRAFTON do we non-job hunters get?
Although soldiers, we are deeply in
tcrested in the political situation, and
are willing to make any sacrifice
necessary that your most valuable pa
per may keep our cause rightly before
the eyes of the world, and that our
people may not be misinformed.
Trusting this will receive your kind
attention, l am,
Yours for success,

city and organized for the purpose of
constructing a moving picture studio
in Arizona for the making and devel-
oping of western and Alaskan MIN re-
productions. They will give employ
ment to hundreds of people in this
state, and it is the opinion of the in
corporators that they have a sound
business enterprise that appeals to
the civic pride of the citizens of this
great commonwealth. because of the
possible benefits to be derived from
this industry, also offering a substan-
tial association in a business organ
lied along sound, responsible, con-
servative lines, with every indication
of interesting profits and steady in
come. The officers and directors of
the company are men of integrity and
are too well and favorably known to
the people of this state to require an
introduction. ]. B. Bayless, the presi-
dent of the Arizona Film Corporation,
is the proprietor and owner of the
Bayless Grocery company and is one
of the most successful business men
in the state. Guy Chisum, vice-presi-
dent of the corporation, is the mana
ger and active head of McKean's Dye
Works, and all Arizona can vouch for
his integrity. G.. w. Hill, the secre-
tary, is an expert accountant well
known throughout the entire South
west. Capt. A. c.. Taylor, the treas
urer, is president of the A. G. Taylor

fists of Phoenix and enjoys the dis
tinction of having a larger clientele

among the foremost advertising men
of the country and acknowledged an
expert in this line. George NJ West,
location expert, is a man who has
covered practically every foot of road
way and desert and mountain trail in
the state of Arizona and is well quail
fed for the position of official locator.
Nothing that Arizona has had in
years offers better opportunity for in
vestment than the Arizona Film Cor
poration and the citizens of this state
are placed in an enviable position by
being given the great privilege of be-
coming stockholders in this concern.

BLACKS PLAN Big
NATIONAL BANK FOR
COLORED FINANCIERS
(By Associated Negro Press.)

(By Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, Oct. 1.-Strong indications
point to the fact that the first great
national bank of countrywide impor-
tance will probably be established in
Chicago. A number of eminent finan-
ciers of the South, some of the bank
ers, whose investments run into the
millions, have recently been in con-
ference with Chicago capitalists, with
the object in view of establishing a
~9tinnsl bank here w-ln paid in
o9o'tal Of 81 100000.
It IS 0rgued that number of tie
N0@-o banks in the South are re-
Trfred TO keep on deposit in New
York and Chicago, thousands of dol
lars in order to meet their clearing
in these cities, and if the race had a
national bank, member Of the fed
eral system, this money could be kept
there. Moreover, several hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth Of bust
ness is transacted annually by south
ern buyers, through northern banks,
where not a single Negro clerk is en-
ployed, and all this business would
be turned over to the great national
family bank"

Moro Chieftain Lived to
Be Eighty-Three Years Old;
Remarkable Age for Tropics

The tOmbs of some of the Moro
chiefs of the Philippines are a curious
combination of native ingenuity and
civilized finery. An ancient and dis
tinguished Moro chieftain Is said to
have lived to be SO years old--a re-
markable age for the tropics where
men and women mature early and die
young. according TO American stand
ards. This chieftain, Benguito. was not
only distinguished warrior Of pow
erful tribe, but also wise diplomat.
He held his tribe under firm control
during many turbulent periods. He
was usually at peace with the Span
iards when they had control Of the
islands. but when he occasionally
struck, perhaps on the advent of new
Spanish governor-general. he struck
hard, and with such savage ferocity
and good generalship. followed by
mastery disappearance Of the entire
tribe into the jungle Businesses. that
the Spaniards, after some show of pur-
suit, were glad to make a peace treaty
and leave Benguito to the management
and administration OF his own tribal
affairs. When the Americans took pos

with unusual discrimination for a ma
tive refused to be led into the Agui-
naldo revolution, maintaining a digni.
fed but armed and watchful neutral
lty, and when he saw clearly, long
ahead of the other native chiefs, the
rising star of the Americans, he grace
fully suggested a coalition or treaty
with the United States which nearly
took the breath away from the Ameri.
can authorities, some Of whom had
about concluded that the only way to
make peace with the Moro was with
Krag rifle.
BenguitO's body lay in state for 35
days within his tomb, constructed of

with white cloth after the Moslem
fashion, for he and his tribe were de.
