Racetrack methods and racetrack justice would have prevented all the seething scandals that now beset the diamond game. There is no differ ence in the principle of the thing. Out with them when they even look crooked-that's the racing rule. and it should have been the rule in base ball, too The details of the White Sox scandal were known to the whole baseball world few days after the 1919 series c1osed-and not a move was made till a grand jury got busy eelves months subsequently,.
 If one-tenth as much talk and ru- nor had been circulated about a bunch of jockeys. how long would they have been allowed to ride?
 And there's the salvation of the same in future: Out with tfer1 when they need it; no waiting for juries, and no trembling before the possibility of libel st1itsi Crooks won't sue, and if they do they can be beaten in a hurry.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY LIVE STOCK LETTER
Kansas City Stock Yards,

Kansas City Stock Yards,
 April 5, 1920. Wind, snow and a switchmen's strike in Chicago, were developments in the livestock situation over Sunday. Chi cag was hit by all three, and about out of commission, before a recovery fol- lowing last weeks yardmen's strike could be affected. Receipts here were moderate, and prices generally high CT. Fat cattle were 15 to 25 cents up, hogs advanced a similar amount and sheep were strong Top hogs $16.OO, and lambs $20.50.
 Today's Receipts. Receipts today were 6,500 cattle, g. 900 hogs and 10000 sheep, compared with 13,500 cattle, 17,000 hogs and B. 900 sheep last week, and 19,1OO cattle .18,400 hogs and 10,30O sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle.
 Prices for fat cattle today were l5 to 25 cents higher and the yards were practically cleared by noon of all of ferings suitable. for killing purposes. Average quality though fair, showed nothing with finish and the top price for steers was $13.5O. A good many western steers sold at $11.50 to $500. A much larger supply was expected in Chicago, but that market is still tied up with labor trouble, this time a switchmen's strike. Some roads have renewed the embargoes of last week. Liberal eastern orders are being di- verted to this market. Cows and heif- CTS sold readily at the advance. Veal calves were 25 to 50 cents higher.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Supplies of thin cattle were small and the trade active at first prices. No high quality steers were offered. The bulk of the feeders brought $10.50 to $11.50 and stockers $95O to $10.50. Stock cows and heifers were scarce at firm prices.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 Though not quotably higher, sheep and lambs sold readily at strong prices. Most of the fed lambs brought $20.25 to $20.50. Sheep were scarce. The early estimate was for $500, but final arrivals were 10000. A complete clearance was affected, and the big in crease over the early estimate, being absorbed at firm prices indicates the extent of the demand here.
 Horses and Mules.
 Moderate receipts and active de- mand continue at the horse and mule market. Heavy horses are selling readily to eastern buyers and farm and southern demand is active.

ILLINOIS WOMEN WILL
 VOTR FOR PRESIDENT

All Illinois women may vote at the presidential preferential primary April IS, regardless of whether na- tioml woman suffrage has been rati- fled prior to that time or not. This announcement has been made by At torney General Brundage.
 In making this ruling MT. Brun- dage reverses his previous decision denying women the right to vote in the presidential primary. After the first ruling the Cook county author ities decided to print separate ballots for women and let them vote even though the attorney general ruled to the contrary.
 If legal difficulties resulted and the courts held that the woman's vote was illegal, the election officials pointed out that the woman vote could be thrown out without invalidating the election.

 Easter Sunday.
 So lovely was the atmosphere of Easter that we would have had it finger with us for a spelk The day was a perfect one and as we saw the many churchgoers we marvelled that it was not so on every Sabbath day. The, churches, oh, how lovely they looked. Lilies were shedding their fragrance from each chancel and the music was exceptionally inspiring. We would not forget the springtime dress, for it is because the earth itself is washed pure and sweet at this season when it dons its new dress, that we mortals have the same thought to dis card the old and freshen up a bit. We'll, the pretty bonnets and bright color made happy picture and that is why we say we wish the Easter season might have fingered just a mite longer with us.
 Food Sale.
 Did you buy a cake Saturday at the food sale? Don't say yes" and that you regret it, for surely you can help along a good cause by squandering a little bit of money. Of course you had to pay high for it, but why not? The material plus the labor plus the ser vice, pics the cause demanded high prices. Even then the ladies didn't make as much as they wished.
 Don't knock, just step up briskly like some did and say Keep the change"
 The ladies want to provide lot of things for needy ones in your own community.

Miss Zella Jones Entertains.
MRS. FRANK NOBLE

Miss Zella Jones Entertains.
 Saturday dawped as fair as one might wish for social affair. At two thirty one might have seen many vending their way westward toward the very hospitable and attractive home of Miss Zella Jones, who was entertaining number of friends on that day at a little informal sewing party. The busy needles clicked and those who had cast all care aside just sat and talked, but at five-thirty when the French doors were opened into the dining room most lovely sight met the eyes. A table glowing with vel. low color, cast from a blooming plant which centered the board and the at tractive place card where each guest found her name. What a delicious lunch it was and it seemed quite nat ural to spend more than the allotted time over it. Seated about the board we found Miss Kellogg, Miss Dodson, Miss Milligan, Mrs. Bertha Kennedy, Miss Flora Jensen, Miss Lura Kinsey, Miss Betty Gregg, Miss Kathleen An derson, Miss Ruth Lightbourne, Mrs. Onward Mckinney and Mrs. Frank Noble.
 Wedding Anniversary.
 A most delicious Easter dinner last Sunday at the Lusk home sesved two purposes--that of remembering it was the Easter.ide and the other of re- membering it was the eleventh we'd ding anniversary of the host and host ess.
 Participating in the affair were Mir. and Mrs. D. S. Roome, Mir. and Mrs. Jack Kester, MT. Charles Burlock and MT. and Mrs. Lusk and children, Will lard and Caroline.
 JOY.
 Many of us know how to spell it and what it stands for, but only a privileged few belong to this joyful little club. We want to say, too, that they are not a bit selfish for they gave delightful Easter party not to themselves, but to the members of the Campfire organization.
 Last Saturday evening found this jolly crowd playing all sorts of games at Emerson school. Music and danc- ing making it pleasant until 10:30, when delicious lunch was served in the domestic science room in tme cafeteria style. Dainty paper nap kins, fancy decorated plates and pret- ty Easter favors were but part of the entertainment provided with the lunch.
 The guests included the following:

 Federated Services.
 Next Sunday morning will be com munich Sabbath.
 Always impressive it will be more so as the new members will take the first communion with us. In the even- ing an After Communion Message" will be given.
 Let's fill the church as at the last Sunday service.
 Bishop Atwood at
 Church of the Epiphany. At the Church of the Epiphany. Sun- iday morning, services will be held as follows: Holy communion at 8 a. m. {; church school at 10 a. m.; morning prayer and sermon and confirmation service at II a. m. Bishop Atwood will arrive in Flagstaff early Sunday morning, and will be present at all these services.
 Several selections of the Easter mu- sic of last Sunday will be rendered again by the choir.
 The attendance at this church last Sunday was great inspiration to the services. It is earnestly desired that the attendance be quite as large next Sunday for the confirmation service. If you are communicant of this church it is assuredly your duty to come, and by your presence welcome into the fellowship of the church those who are newly confirmed. It is also a rare opportunity to be able to hear a sermon from Bishop Atwood, recognized especially in the east as one of the great preachers of the church, and invited to preach in such promin- ent churhes as the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York ity. Will you not plan to begin the Lords day by being present at the early communion at 8 o'clock. Special attention is called to the fact

DON'T BUY THE TRIBUNE
 BORROW IT

The Tribune may seem to be stand ing on it's head, but it is forced to ask people not to buy it. It wants to keep every one of it's readers and gain new ones, but it cannot sell them all the paper. The paper shortage makes it impossible to do so. If two families would use one Tribune we could keep the readers and they could have the Tribune. We want the readers; they evidently want the Tribune. Better days some day, but just now borrow and don't buy the Tribune.-Chicago Tribune.
 The above editorial in the Tribune is rather startling indication of the present day condition of the paper market and revolution in business methods.

SEEN IN THE SUN"-
 IT IS THE TRUTH

Many silly stories have gone the rounds of the press, anent the origin of the name Flagstaff, some more or less romantic. The following is true version of its origin, by one acquaint ed with the facts.
 In 1881, the writer left St. Johns with team of four mules and wagon for the grading front of the Atlantic & Pacific railway, then west of Can yon Diablo. The same years a couple of fellows purchased a quantity of "red-eye" or "sheep-dip" at Prescott going to Antelope Spring, near the present site of the city of Flagstaff, they put up log cabin and opened up their booze joint.
 As usual few 'tin-horns," and dis. Ireputable thugs made the joint theil headquarters. The 4th of July, 1881 coming on, the whole outfit got glor. iously drunk; therefore, immensely patriotic, and decided they must have flag. With the available materia present, they made d non-descript | flag out of anything to be found. The flag was four feet long and two feet in width. The next thing was pole and small pine tree was suggested However, one of the party proposed tc climb nearby pine tree, and with 2 hatchet cut off the limbs as he ascend ed the tree. This done the flag, pre-. viously fastened to a stick, was taker to the top of the tree and with piece of rope and bit of twire made fast tc the top of the tree. Naturally, moi one of the drunken bunch even dream ed they were giving a name to one ot the beautiful cities of Arizona. That historic fag-tree was about forty feet eastward of the saloon" The writer camped in the flat east of the cabin and the grading out of MT. Pice was about half a mile further east. How. ever, the society" of Antelope Spring did not appeal to me, and after 2 couple of days l took the back track for St. Johns.
 After the general elections of 1882 the writer passed the place, going tc Prescott, as a member of the 10th leg. islative assembly, and the same non. descript flag still fiuttered from the top of the pine tree; and in 1884 possibly n 1885-the remnants of that flag could be seen.
 The first newspaper in Flagstaff was the Flagstaff Flag" with Colonel Harry Reed, editor and proprietor The paper was small and worked of on small job press; it was decorated with small flags in red and white How long it waved I cannot say, but in due time George Tinker began the publication of the Flagstaff Cham. pion, and it too went the way of all good or bad newspapers. The foregoing are the facts in re. gard to the tree and it's location, ant the events incident thereto, as tho writer was on the ground, and speak. of his personal knowledge, all othel "cock-and-bull" stories to the contrar! notwithstanding.

try to justify their action by claiming
more openings will be made for our
young women who wish to teach, and
the same silly line of reasoning is ap-
piled in every walk of life.
1t has been proven beyond ques-
ton of doubt that religious, political
and racial hatred is forstered by segre-
cation or whatever one may call the
line of demarcation. Europe today,
divided as it is by imaginary boundary
lines and by peoples Of different
tongue, has ever before her the posi-
biiitles of war. There is lacking that
melting pot" arrangement America is
supposed to FOSTER
Surely no sane person can question
our right to American soil, to all the
rights and privileges enjoyed by any
good citizen. We have been largely
instrumental in. developing this new
country. Our blood has been shed in
every battle for it's defense and today
we are the only unit of the population
that can be absolutely relied upon for
pure unadulterated loyalty. And the
suggestion is made that WE move!
Would that some of these mischief
makers knew the thoughts that fash
across the brain of the black man
when such absurd propositions are
given an airing There is as much
Likelihood of our moving as there is
that the Sphynx will speak.

THE BOYS CLUB FEDERATION.

THE APPEAL is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. Frank G. Patchen, of
the Boys Club Federation bureau of
Information), 10 West 10th Street,
New York, N. Y, asking for it's CO.
operation in the efforts of the Fedora
ton to solve the vital problem o. the
'under-privileged" boy, one of the
greatest human problems that our
country is facing. He states that in
no sense does the work of the or
ganization conflict with that of the
Church. On the contrary, it is an
aid to the Church, reaching material
that neither the Church nor Church
clubs can successfully reach and with
out bias, placing that material in the
hands Of the Churches for spiritual
guidance, distributing to each Church
its own, WITHOUT REGARD TO
RACE, CREED OR COLOR"
Elsewhere in our columns we pub
fish an article that tells of the Fedora
ton and it is hoped that some of our
good citizens will interest themselves
to the extent of writing to Mr. Patchen
to learn the plans upon which the de-
sired cooperation may be given.

SEPARATE SCHOOLS.
(From the Boston Guardian. }

(From the Boston Guardian)
Maryland is a Border, rather than
a Southern state, at least it is not one
of the worst sort of Southern states.
The practice which forbodes a per-
petuation of color segregation in this
Republic is that of a separation of
white and colored in childhood in &C.
tually public institutions, where for
all the foreigners the lesson is taught
OF equality among the children. Sep
arate schools are in vogue even in
some Northern states where colored
people prefer jobs to equality and
democracy for the children.
But let no false picture be painted
of advantages. We give the educa-
tional conditions for the colored chill
dren under separation in Maryland,
where even for teachers the new pro-
posal gives LIST grade white teachers
$3.50, and colored $500; End grade,
whites $500, and colored $500; 3rd
grade, whites $3.50, and colored $500.
For children it is
1. "Colored children attend school
irregularly."
z. "A large number of colored
teachers are just keeping school and
making poor job of it at that"
3. I'm only three counties do we
find as many as seven grades. Usu-
ally as many as four children twelve
and thirteen years old are found in
the first and second grade though
they have been in school for four or
five years." (From the report of the
Supervisor of Colored Schools in Mary
land, 1879

THE LINCOLN LEAGUE

The Lincoln League, with it's we'll
chosen name, recently in session in
Chicago, may become a. useful instru-
ment in aiding the colored people in
their fight for justice, if it stands firm
for the right and is not merely an ap.
pendage Of the Republican party. It
should be kept nonpartisan body and
the members should see that it does
not degenerate into jimcrow organ
ization ready to sell out to the highest
cash bidder.
Here are three striking examples of
the wisdom of nonpartisan action:
The prohibition victory was won by
nonpartisan work. The prohibition
forces aided the party which was will
ing to reciprocate.
National woman's suffrage has been
practically achieved because the suf-
fragists have kept aloof from partisan
politics and voted for the candidates
and party which offered the most in
the suffrage line.
Labor has been victorious in it's bat
ties because it has not attempted to- do
the un-American thing of organizing a
labor party.
Lynching, segregation and the thou
sand and one obstacles which lie in
the path Of the colored people may be
swept aside, if colored voters will
ignore party lines, Republican, Democ-
ratio, Socialist, Labor or other and
vote for the party or candidate which
offers the most in justice and rights.
