Voice OF THE PEOPLE
Phoenix, July Is. 1920.

Phoenix, July 15, 1920
Mr.. Editor:
You should publish the statistics
of the growth and development of
the colored people; not once only,
but all the time. You should keep
constantly before the eyes and the
minds of your people, the wonderful
progress that the race has made, and
is making. towards better life and
a more advanced civilization.
There were four million colored
people in the United States at the
time of emancipation, we are told.
Let us have the exact fact, so far as
it is known. There are around twelve
million colored people in the United
States today; let us have the exact
fact, as far as it has been ascertained.
Let us know, if the information can
lie had, how many colored people in
the United States own their own
homes; how many have deposits in
savings banks, and the total amount
of their deposits. Let us have all
the facts that are obtainable that
tend to show the thrift and conservat-
ism and good citizenship of this race
that emerged from slavery less than
two-thirds of century ago, and has
worked its way up to its present pos
ition in the face of the most adverse
conditions with which any race has
ever had to contend.
Let us know something definite and
accurate about the colcred people in
this valley. We are told there are
at present more than twelve hundred
and fifty workers in Phoenix and vi
cinity. If that is so, let us know it,
Twelve hundred and fifty workers
earning an average of four dollars
day would be producing five thousand
dollars a day, or more than TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS a
week.
Just think what the colored people
of Phoenix could do with TWENTY.
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS a
week, if they learned to act together,
and to use their resources to the
best advantage.
Let us have the facts, Mr. Editor,
for our information, and perhaps for
the encouragement and stimulation of
every earnest and ambitious member
of the race.
Yours truly,
LINWOOD S. PRATT.

SAUER DEFEATED
BY DAVLSCOURT
in GREAT BATTLE

Pete Sauer, the Nebraska giant, lost
to Nick Daviscourt, Friday night, July
8, in what fans say was the fastest
wrestling match ever witnessed in
this city. Nick Daviscourt, heavy
weight champion of the Pacific coast,
had an advantage of weight by go
pounds and after 25 minutes and two
seconds of the most wonderful head
spinning ever seen i'll Phoenix, the
Californian pinned Pete's shoulders
to the mat with cradle hold
After Is minutes rest, both came
back fresh, Pete using his we'll known
rushing tactics, succeeded in winning
the second fall in minutes with a
hammerlock.
At the beginning of the third and
final round, Pete in trying for flying
mare, raised the Californian in an
attempt to throw him over his head,
but the big fellow was not asleep,
and he clamped Pete with neck
scissors hold and the Netraskan fell
striking the base of his head on the
wooden floor, thus rendering himself
unconscious and causing his own de-
feat. After Nick had crawled off the
mat, Sauer remained on the floor
motionless, but after a few minutes
with the assistance of a physician
and others, he began to show signs of
life. Mrs. Sauer became hysterical
but was soon quieted when she learned
that her husbands injuries were not
serious.
After helping Pete from the ring,
Daviscourt made short talk in which
he praised the Nebraskan and stated
that although the agreement was that
the winner should take all, he was
willing to split the purse with his
rival. Nick won the hearts of the
audience, and should he ever again
come to Phoenix will receive warm
and cordial welcome.
