Community Fair.

Under the leadership of Miss En-
ma Warn a community fair is being
planned, to be held at some date
in the near future Committees have
been appointed and some interest is
being manifested. 1t is hoped that
the town and community will heart
lily cooperate in this movement and
make it a success. That these fairs
are beneficial cannot be doubted.
They teach us many things about our
selves and our communities that we
do not know and open our eyes to
possibilities that we do not believe
exist.

SALVATION Army IS
A PUBLIC SERVANT

How the Salvation Army admins
tered toN the allied armies at the
front during the great World War is
a closed chapter in the history of the
accomplishments of this organization,
in so far as the Army is concerned.
But another page is being written in
the historical achievements of these
great Servants of ALL 1t is a serv-
ice being rendered right here in Ari-
zona and it is because of work of
this nature that the Salvation Army
is making its appeal to Arizonans for
it's 1921 state quota. A sum Of
$25,4O0 is being asked to finance the
work of the organization in all its
phases for the present year
At this time the Salvation Army is
administering to another army, but
Of distinctively different type. 1t is
now the army of the unemployed now
deriving the benefits of Salvation
Army service. Hundreds have been
and now are being cared for. This
work is exclusive of the regular Army
program. Hundreds Of poor families
about the state are annually pro-
vided for, as we'll as delinquent boys
and girls and wayward families. But
care of the unemployed in such large
numbers as is now being provided is
classified under the heading Of "spe-
cial service" 1t is, in brief, work
that requires large expenditures of
money not provided for in the an
nual budget.

French Village Stirred
BY Prophecv of Christ's
'Rebirth in France
Especial to The Tribune.)

Paris, March 1.-THE prophecy of
y young Jewish girl named Wolff
that Jesus Christ will be reborn"
again before the end of the present
year in the little village of Mont
morency, near Paris, has suddenly
aroused the greatest interest among
religious workers all over France.
Miss Wolff, who comes from an
excellent family, recently announced
that the word of Christ's rebirth
came to her in a divine vision.
Zone night while slept I suddenly
saw a great dazzling light and heard
beautiful music" she recounts. Then
moment later an angel appeared
through the light and spoke to me
just as plainly as my mother talks to
me every day. The angel said:
"The Lord Savior, Jesus Christ.
will be reborn near the end of this
year in a Jewish family in the viii
lage of Montmorency, and will be
martyrized behind the Church of
Saint SEVERN, which will afterward
be sanctified Go and tell the world .
The angel then disappeared, Miss
Wolff declares. She awoke and ran
to tell her parents. Since that night
she has obeyed the heavenly injunc-
ton and has addressed religious meet
ings all over Paris, gaining many con-
verts to the belier that Christ is
about to return to earth.
"If anyone had told me such a
story a year ago I would have
laughed" she says, "but the church
will show that am really inspired
by God"
The revelation" naturally has
caused great excitement in Montmor
ency, where there are about forty
Jewish families.

MINISTER ADVOCATES
RELEASE OF EUGENE
DEBS FROM PRISON

Boston, March lift Milton and
Shelley were alive today they would
likely be in Atlanta prison with Eu-
gene Debs," declared Rev. D. T. w
Holmes. of Waltham, at a meeting of
Baptist ministers.
DR.. Holmes was one of several
who said that Eugene Debs
should be liberated and that he was
being made to suffer for conscience's
sake.
There is an amazing disregard Of
conscience in democracy today" as
serted Prof. Woodman Bradbury OF
Newton Theological Institute.
This government suppresses too
much. We need an emancipated con-
science, but we're more likely to get
it from Lincoln than from Harding.
1.-The war has ceased, yet wartime
legislation is still in force. There is
oligarchy all about US in the guise of
democracy We are not showing de-
mOcracy in keeping Debs in jail"

COLORED GIRL IS HEIR TO LARGE FORTUNE IN LOUISIANA OIL FIELD
GOOD BEHAVIOR IS
ATTRIBUTE GOOD
BASEBALL PLAYER

Organized base ball bars Negro
players. BY doing so 1t has lost some
Of the finest athletes the game has
ever known. but this color line is
drawn rigidly. Not many years ago,
one club tried to play a negro under
the representation that he was
Cuban, and he was dropped when the
deceit was discovered. He did not sue,
representing himself as being deprived
of livelihood. yet his case would
have been much clearer than would
be one brought by player dropped
for theft or dishonesty.
1t seems to me that the fear of
being sued is extended only to cases
of men who are valuable to the teams.
Speaking of Negro players, there
is one man who is an honor to base
ball and his race. There may be many
more, but Rube Foster, the head of
his Giants. is to my way of thinking
one Of the great managers and leaders
of tlse ball. He has a team which
would rank well with any major league
club, and one which has played in
more different cities and towns than
any other club in the world.
Rube makes his players understand
rules of conduct.
We've got to- behave ourselves
much better than a white team would,
he tells them. No swearing OF rowdy-
ism goes on this ball club" He en-
forces that rule.
His team are hard fighters, but
clean and good natured They laugh
where white teams would be rowing
with the umpire. They are courteous
and good sportmen.
He has taken his club on tour after
tour Of the South, played before big
crowds composed largely Of whites,
and never has had trouble. And any
man who can take a Negro team
through the South and win and hold
the respect of all classes is a real
manager. Besides that Rube is doing
something for his race, as we'll as for
base ball, and the conduct of his play
ers both on and off the field is les
son for many white teams.

ENFORCEMENT OF
Blue LAWS WRONG
SAYS BOSTON PROF.
Especial to The Tribunel


Boston, March 17-"Blue law leg
islation is wrong in theory and fatal
in practice" declares Rev. j. l.. ].
Corrigan, S. j.. professor of social
ethics at Boston college.
"These blue law proposals. says
Father Carrigan, remind us of Pill
grim days If we may Judge from the
evil results of such laws in the early
days as witnessed to by no less an
authroity than Governor Bradford
himself, nothing of good, but on the
contrary, much of harm may be ex-
pected if such laws are written again
upon the statute books.
History is against the hopes and
theories of the Lords Day Legislators.
'The Lords Day leaguers might
profitably read early Pilgram history
to learn how futile it is to try to
legislate people into moral living.
1.-The intolerable affrontery and as
sumed superiority of these latter-day
advocates of Puritanic observance is
in line with dozens of other invasions
of personal liberty of late. where a
determined and well-organized mi
nority have imposed their will upon
majority, ,hus understanding and
subverting the very fundamentals of
democratic government and imperiling
American freedom itself Fanatical
minorities are always dangerous, but
never more so than when they fancy
that they are doing the will of the
Lord.
''It is a fact of human history and
experience, explain it how you please,
that extremes provoke extremes. The
rule is inevitable. When restraints
become intolerable, reaction, like the
swing of a pendulum, sets in. The
real danger from such restrictive and
repressive legislation, apart from its
injustice, is the fact that it gives rise
to contempt for all law.
when there are upon the statute
books measures which are not sus-
tanned by popular sentiment and pub
lie opinion. all law loses respect and
comes into contempt It is the same
when laws are not enforced save to
<he extent Of causing irritation and
resentment, law suffers in the respect
of the community and the result is a
reaction of crime
MANY keen students of our social
problems think that the present crime
wave in the country is due, in large
measure, to this very defect in the
Volstead prohibition law. Sabbatha-
rian Sunday regulations would certain
ly provoke violent disobedience and
cynical disregard for the law. 1t
would be fanatical idiocy to enact
them.
IF the ministry of our Sabbatarian
clergy was broken down, little soul
searching will probably reveal that the
true cause of the detection among
their flocks is that the preaching of
religion and the charity of Christ
have been supplanted in their pulpits
by social uplift and civic harangues. y

REAL CAUSE OF RIOT
IN SPRINGFIELD, Ohio
(5y the Associated Negro Press)


Springfield, Ohio, March 17.-The
attempt of a drunken policeman to
maltreat Negro who did not get out
of his way quick enough, when order
ed to step off the sidewalk Ly the
officer, caused the death of the police
man and about enighteen other black
and white citizens last Friday night
Rioting continued through the night
but quiet was restored in the early
morning hours after the militia had
been called to the scenes of strife and
the streets fortified with machine guns
1t was in the early evening time
when the fighting began. No one
seems to have a clear idea of how the
trouble started. 1t was confined wholly
in the Negro district, where it began,
and is believed to have had it's origin
in a series Of minor clashes that have
occurred between police officers and
alleged rowdy Negroes during the past
few weeks. The killing of the police
man and the elimination of these
smaller fights.
Before the Friday night clash had
continued far large crowds of whites
Joined the officers called to the Negro
district to quell the rioting. The Ne
groes, regarding the invasion Of the
district as an effort to punish them
for the results of the riots of two
years ago, resisted arrest and calmly
engaged the police and their allies in
the sanguinary street battle which
lasted through the entire night
Several attempts to dynamite homes
of the Negroes were frustrated by
them. One white man discovered in
the act of placing a bomb near the
residence of a Negro was roughly
handled but was rescued by the police
after a desperate battle in the course
of which several combatants were
severely wounded and as many more
killed.
The police department declare that
the origin of the trouble is to be traced
to an attempted rape on young white
girl ty Negro several days ago. This
is stoutly denied by Negro citizens OF
all classes who declare that the police
have been assidously seeking to create
trouble in the Negro district for poll
tical reasons.
There has been no serious recurr
ence of the rioting since order was
restored by the National Guard last
Saturday morning. The public resorts
ordered closed by Mayor Wescott are
in the majority of cases, still shut
There is no general fear that the riot
ing will be resumed
