the police started sfresh to-day in
their efforts TO identify the dismem

victim as Bertha Becker, domestic,

Apparently the only hopeful mate

was two shirts which had been
wrapped about the victims body.
These bore laundry marks which were
traced to a Long Island City laun-

LEE TELLS ABOUT BREAK
WITH OTHER UNIONS IN
REGARD TO THE STRIKE
EOUAL OPPORTUNITY
FOR BLACKS IN SCHOOL
Was Advocated by President Harding
in Addresses at Birming-
ham.

! Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 70. Th'
right Of the American negro to broadel
| political, economic and educational ad
vantages based on a pride of race but
never on an aspiration for social equal
/ ity, was championed by President
Harding here to-day in plainly word
ed enunciation of his views on the
whole American race problem. These
are some of the principles on which
the president appealed to the nation
to '.lay aside old prejudices and old
antagonisms" and give support to a
constructive policy Of racial relation
ship.
Politically and economically there
need be no occasion for great and per-
manent differentiation provided on
both sides there shall be recognition
of the absolute divergence in things
social and racial"
Il would say let the black man vote
when he is fit to vote; prohibit the
white man voting when he is unfit to
vote
Il wish that both the tradition Of a
solidly Democratic south and the ira
dition of a solidly Republican black
race might be broken up
Il would insist upon equal educa-
tional opportunity for BOTH
Men of both races may well stand
against every sug-
gestion of social equality. This is not
question of social equality but a ques-
tion OF recognizing a fundamental, eter
nal, inescapable difference.
Racial amalgama tion there cannot
be. Partnership Of the races in devel.
oping the highest aims of all human
ity there must be il humanity is TO
achieve the ends which we have set
for ii. :"
"The black map should seek to be
and he should be encouraged to be, the
best possible black man and not the
oest possible imitation of white
man"
The presidents address, which
brought him from Washington on his
irst extended trip into the south since
inauguration, was delivered at a semi
centennial Of the founding Of the city |
II Birmingham. 1t was devoted almost |
'xclusively to the race question. all |
hough Mr.. Harding took occasion to
'raise the south for, its industrial To-
oyery and to renew his faith in the
World leadership of a reunited nation.

Miss Alice Robertson seems to have apout the right idea on the woman question and denies she has said that there are no women fit to represent the United States as member of the disarma- ment board. Her idea is that it would be foolish to put woman in such position who was not capable, merely because she was woman The brainy women of the country realize that they are doing the cause an injustice by demanding that women be appointed to positions of great re- sponsibility when they are not competent to fill the places Ability among women should count just as it is supposed to among men. It is the right attitude-not because of sex, but because of ability to serve.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Using, particularly in evening publications, was given by Thomas Russell, president of the h. corporated Society of Advertising Consultants, London, at conference of the National Associa- tion of Shoe Retailers in Bath, England.
 Mir. Russell stated that he persuaded a trader to spend money on advertising in the local paper instead of on circulated printed matter. In six months that traders takings had increased by 40 per cent.
 In the case of another advertiser, in two weeks an increase of trade was recorded, which showed him that his advertising was successful Eighteen months later he had acquired the ad- joining shop for his increased business The weekly newspaper in small town was also a good investment, for it was generally extremely well read, he said-Fourth Estate.

The Prescott Courier. whose general declar- Ashurst "is developing into one of the most act i've members of the upper house." A few hund- red years, more or less, does not seem to affect the attitude of The Courier, for, God bless him, he's democrat What he has done and what he can do for the people doesn't count-just thank God he's demmycrat. If God happens to find out just why he's demmycrat, the common peo- pie should be very much obliged.

One bright idea the democrats had was that of making so many stupendous blunders at such stupendous cost that the whole people are be- wildered and anything under few hundred millions does not make much of an impression on the people in going over the figures. AS mat ter of fact there is considerable relief that the whole United States was not put in hook at the meeting of the League of Nations at the time Paris was going so good.

It is amusing to note all the wisdom now be- ing displayed by our democratic brethren and the advice they are offering to the best and quick est way out of the vast indebtedness the demo- cratic administration got us into It's wonder hey did not use some of it when in power. Econ omy then would have helped the country whole lot but may have put a lot of padded chair ex- perts off the salary roll.

Williams has at last started on the right road to prosperity and healthy growth, Tn commenc- ing movement for bigger and better water supply. It is impossible to build up town with out good water supply. That's true in any sec tion of the country, but especially true here in the Southwest. Coconino county is going to make wonderful growth during the next few years and it behooves those now here to prepare for the growth.

Iowa and Minnesota farmers are maturing the largest crop of corn in years. The farmers have hit upon scheme of beating the freight rates and saving money at the same time. They pro pose to burn the corn and thus save the freight on both corn and coal. Consequently the higher the railroads raise the rates the more the farmer saves.

One reason why the tax on wool has not rais- ed the price right off the bat is because the coun try is loaded up with a two-year supply which came into the country before the tax went into active and have the surplus shipped back. It is in line with some of the remedies they have offered

The socialistic idea with Russia seems to be that the United States should go on feeding them until they can make the fool idea of getting some thing for nothing win. The ship loads of food going to Russia do not bear any socialistic tags but come from people who have an entirely diff erent idea of how to make a living.
