ETHICAL PRINCIPLES SHOULD PREVAIL

Quoted without resort to wfu and deliberate lying, msrepre

when the appeal for the support of should be
addressed to their and intelligence rather than to their
prejudces And yet in political campaign national state
county municipal the appeal and intelligence
largely overshadowed by the appeal to passion and prejudice
Racial and religious prejudces exploited for personal and
partisan gain This ought be but Wilfu lies
told and facts distorted for the sake of few votes Instead
of honestly and frankly discussing and their
merits and letting that resort is made to repehensible
and unworthy methods which should be bued and condemned
by all serespecng people And yet these things taken

lying and cheating elements of good portsmanshp
should apply to the political Both sides in political

American will have reached the plane where they will
mand that ethical principles be recognized in political

Editor The Phoenix Tribune:
Dear Sir:-Permit me to say a
few words in behalf of the Arizona
Packing Company. 1t has been said
that the company would not give a
colored man work at the plant. This
is not true. There is no discrimina-
tion, for the Company gives employ
ment to any American citizen, black
or white, provided he is competent
to do the work required of laborers
at the plant. All they ask is an hon
est days work and they will greet
you with honest pay.
Now, inasmuch as the Arizona
Packing Company gives work to the
black man as well as to the white
man, let us return the favor by using
their products. We must learn to
help those who help US. Patronize
the firms that give employment to
colored people. Let's make the Ari-
zona Packing Company grow by u.s.
ing their products.
Yours truly,
A Colored Man Who Works for
The Arizona Packing Company.
