the president Mrs. Lynn Ross Carter
'deliverd at the sixth annual session
of the Arizona Federation OF Colored

"Co-workers and friends of the Ari

the third time l am ready to tender

which has rested in my charge. Look
ing backward over our years work
we are confident that we will reach
the goal for which we are striving.
Handicapped for lack of funds to
spread the club movement through
the state we are blessed with the help
of the daily and weekly press to help
pave the way for our future work. To
encourage the organization of clubs
where such organizations do not ex-
ist, and to mite the clubs OF the
state has been my ambition, for in
unity there is strength.
Would to God that could imprint
upon the minds of our women the ne
cessity of cooperation. We can see
so much that could be done by CO.
operation that we are amazed that
our women do not take a greater in
terest. If they would but know that
we are not striving for ourselves
alone, but are working for the uplift
of our race Lifting as we climb,
they would surely give a few hours
of each week for the good of our wo-
men and children.
zone of or objects is to pledge to
the cause of education, to bring the
parents and educators into closer re-

NEGRO'S BEST FRIEND
IS SOUTHERN White
SAY KLU KLUX KLAN
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Raleigh. N. c., June q J. J. Nolan
one of the lecturers of the Ku Klux
Klan in a recent speech, said:
"The best friend in the world to the
Negro is the southern white man. I
urge them not to heed the advice of
those who would lead them astray
after political gods. l have friendship
for the Negro race, but this is a white
mans government and must remain
So" He severely raped the associ-
alton for the Advancement of the Col
ored People and saw in its propagan-
da in the interest of the colcred races
of the world, serious menace to
white supremamcy.

Following is an address delivered
by Miss Versie Mickens at the Sixth
Annual meeting of the Arizona FEEDER
alton of Colored women's clubs, held
May 25, at Lucy Phillips chapel C.
M. E. church, Phoenix, Arizona.
Miss Mickeas chose for her sub
ject: ''The Areican Negro and
His Possibilities" and spoke in part
as follows
"Since time began, history has
shown the rise, decline and fall of
Empire, Nations, Races and fall of
uals. 1t is but fair to say that the
fate of the Negro has been cast along
these lines that were as fixed as the
stars in their courses.
There have been exceptions to the
law of civil and political change. We
have read with joy the triumph of the
black man of ancient times, his power
in battle, his eminence in letters, his
skill in science, his genius as an ag-
riculturist, his patience as herdman.
In great cycles of changes, it stands
to reason that the wheel of civil and
political fortune will again revolve in
the Negroes favor.
"'Tis not much that the American
Negro asks in this racial warfare;
his aid has always been scant and
rare. He has been thrown on his
own resources, tuffeted about until
he has become hidebound, as it were,
to those circumstances which have
been so hurtful to the progress of
other nations.
Slavery, while a curse, has been
a redeeming institution to the Ameri-
can Negro. 1t was that purgatorial
step between Africa, slavery and
American wealth.
"No man can reach the elevated
plane of good character and worth
who drags behind him a great load of
little and mean dislikes for his fel-
bowman. The possibilities of higher
professional standing of colored men
and women depend upon the unity and
determination of colored people to
push their professional and business
men to the front. l appeal to you as
a race to cultivate unity and protect
and defend each others interest.
Stand up and cultivate race pride, not
race prejudice.
LET the elevation of one be the joy
of the other, instead of pulling down
those who are trying to elevate them
selves and the race. The posi-
possibilities of colored professional
men will be great to the extent that
the colored people will allow their
greatness. Their destiny is with the
colored race.
This world is not place of peace
and unmixed happiness. There has
always been struggle of individuals
and races for existence and mastery
1T is. beginning to dawn on p the
Negroes generally, that if they would
be saved they must save themselves
"The Booker T. Washington theory
of education has come to stay. Not
because rich men are sustaining his
school, but because of the fact that
Tuskegee. the institution founded by
the immortal Washington, meets the
requirements, the demands of the day

1000 SCHOOL BOYS
In SWIMMING CLASS

Glasses for two thousand school
children OF the city, comprising stu
dents over u years Of age, who at
tend parochial, private and public
schools. have been arranged for the
swimming campaign under the aus
pices OF the Red Gross Life Saving
Corps, which will begin next week.
II was a long and tedious task plac-
ing these children and required
many hours Of labor.
As matters have been arranged,
the children will receive lessons in
swimming in the nearest pool pos
sible to their homes. The same con-
sideration will be paid adults, men
and women. Efforts will be made
to place them in pools nearest where
they live. so that they be afforded
the least inconvenience. The sched-
ule for the adults has not been com
pleted and will not be ready until
Friday evening.
Every man and woman who has
registered for the swimming lessons
is asked TO telephone Red Cross
headquarters, 913 Delaware avenue,
Saturday morning and learn TO what
class and hour they have been as
signed. This will Jsatly aid the
campaign. as the malls might mis-
carry and valuable time lost.

tors, who began receiving lessons II

life saving tactics on Monday morn.
ing are proceeding very satisfac-
torily. There Is still need for more
adult instructors, and those who are
willing to act as such should com
municate with headquarters and reg
lister for the work.
The classes for children next week
are in addition to the 400 who were
taught at the Y. NJ. c. A pool last
week. The boys had a bully time OF
