Gov. Geo. w. P. Hunt
HOnOrs COlOred Man
With Appointment

Paul Green, one of the proprietors
of Green Bros. barber shop, II North
Central Ave-, has received an an.
pointment from Governor Geo. w
P. Hunt as State Commissioner, to
receive contributions toward the ex.
pense of promoting an educational
campaign, in the interest of the
passage of H. ]. Res. 245, which
was introduced by Representative
Wood in the first session of the 68th
Congress. The Resolution propos-
es to create commission to secure
plans and designs for and to erect
a monument or memorial building
In the City of Washington to the
memory of the Negro soldiers and
sailors who fought in the wars of
our country and the late World War.
From Bunker Hill to the Argonne
covers a period in the history of the
world that can never be effaced. The
first blood shed on American soil
IN the revolt against English tyr
amy was that of a Negro, Crispus
Attucks. From that time until now.
the record of the Negro in the Army
and Navy has never been questioned.
Their deeds Of bravery, their 10y
atty and patriotism should be i'm
mortalized in Statues and Memorials
as are those of other people.
The National Memorial Association
has asked Congress to erect such
Memorial in the form of a beau
tiful building in the city of Wash
ington, the Nations Capital, and we
feel that every loyal American
should be willing to assist in this
great movement. 1t is trlbute we
owe, and an honor to our race to
lay the foundation of our moral and
financial support in the erection of
a great memorial building, not only
to our living and dead Negroes, but
great educational temple, where
statues of great men and women of
our race may be placed to give in
spiration, hope and pride to the
youth of our land.

Emancipation Day
Will Be Observed in
Phoenix on Friday

Friday June 10Th, all Phoenix and
the valley will turn out en- masse to
celebrate Emancipation Day at East
Lake Park and Pacific City Amuse-
ment Park. The feature attraction
at East Lake Park will be the ball
game between Salt Valley Lodge,
F. & A NJ, and Maricopa Lodge,
F. & A. NJ. The game will be called
at p. m. and Grand Master, Joe
Ready, will pitch the first ball.
Some old-time ball players are lined
up on both sides and will try
to stage a come back" G. T..
Tinsley, who several years ago was
the pitching "ace" for his Regiment
in the U. S. Tenth Cavalry, will toss
the ball for Salt Valley, while C.
c. Caldwell, known throughout Ari-
zona as pitching demon" will be
on the mound for Maricopa. This
game will decide Who's Who"
among the Masonic Fraternity, and
the Colored Elks Lodge has chal-
lenged the winners. The Elks Lodge is
composed of all young men and real
ball players, with possibly one ex-
ception, the Exalted Ruler, bill"
Jones, popular chef at the Phoenix
Country club, who knows more about
Virginia baked hams, southern corn
bread and fried chicken, than he
does about the game of base ball.
However, he will not be expected
to play when the teams clash, as
his fatherly advice is all his boys
need to take the measure of any
team in existence.
At Pacific City Amusement Park,
the big attractions viii be put on
at night, when the mammoth swim
ming pool and dance pavilion will
be thrown open to all who wish to
enjoy them. 1t is also planned to
have big speaking program as the
early evening attraction, so that
those who do not care to dance or
swim may enjoy the addresses. Take
your choice and go to either place
and you will be well entertained.
Basket picnics may be held at eth
er park, as ample provision has been
made at Pacific City and of course,
you know what East Lake affords.
Those who have cars will divide
their time between the two places,
while others less fortunate may
make use of the Pacific City bus
which makes regular trips to the
park.
All former residents of Texas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Georgia
are urgently requested to visit Pac-
ific City Amusement Park Saturday
evening, as the management has a
pleasant surprise in store for you.
Everyone is invited, but the big sur
prise is for natives of the above
named states only. Let's make June
1920 real holidays and enjoy life
once, anyway.

Women Want More Husbands

Women Want More Husbands
Paris-Women's Unsuitable desire
for the fantastic was responsible for
two curious Innovations this week.
One was formation of league in
favor of amending marriage laws,
to permit every woman, if she so
desires, to have two husbands.
The other was the Inauguration of
great feminine fad for wearing
not only their initials or names sewn
into their hats, coats, handkerchiefs,
bracelets, and even their stockings,
but also with certain mysterious
signs in new love CODE" the
secret of which is revealed by this
weeks Cride Paris.
In this code, a single bracelet of
green stones means 81 am single
and looking for a male friend" and
bracelet ornamented with sap
phires means Il am unhappily mar
ried. You may talk to me-"
A bracelet with nothing but dia-
monds means money talks" while
a bracelet of amber or tortoise shell
means Il am willing to talk, dance,
or go to the theater-but that ia
ALL"
combination of jade and sap
phires indicates "T hate men,"
The men are now considering a
similar code governed by colored
handkerchiefs
Lea Bergson, President of the
Association for Sexual Liberty for
Women, asserts that it is time to
revert to prehistoric days, when
woman had the right to have as
many husbands as she wanted, and
declares:
In the present day, husbands
are literally foisted upon girls, and
the so-called free choice is mere
mockery. Many a woman marries
blond man, only to find that she
really likes dark ones the best. She
should be allowed to make Sec
ond choice"
The brilliant sunshine today
helped the fashion parade at Long
Champs, but many of the new ar
rivals found it hard to tell which
were men and which women, so
accentuated have the masculine
styles become
THE really feminine woman
seems to have disappeared with the
horse and carriage"

YOUR OWN CHURCH

If you want to work in kind of a
church
Like the kind of a church you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new;
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your church;
1t isn't your church, it's you.
Real churches aren't made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else goes ahead:
When everyone works and nobody
dead.
And if while you make your per-
sonal stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your church will be what you want
1t to be-
1t isn't your church, it's you.
You can raise church from the

COlOred Women Will
Hold Convention In
Cheyenne, July 1920

The Fourth Biennial Convention
of the Northwestern Federation of
Colored Women's clubs will be held
at Cheyenne, Wyo., July 18th to
21st inclusive. 1t marks the tenth
anniversary of its organization and
is it's final session as the North
western Federation now exists. It
is remarkable in that by its divi-
sion into three sectional Federations
of the National Association Of Col.
ored Women, the Northwestern,
Southwestern and Central. 1t will
mean that the Northwestern is CIV
ing larger service to the National.
1t will mean more trained women in
immediate service, more frequent
contact between the women of each
new section and a unifying of Sec
tional strength according to the pc
culiar problems and needs. 1t will
give three times as many women
a chance to prepare for leadership
We are hoping that the States in
this section will be largely represent
ed at this convention to participate
in the closing rites of the North
western and the formation Of. the
three new sectionals.
Mrs. Bethune, Miss Halle q.
Brown, Mrs. Cora C. Horne and
Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook are among
the prominent National women who
have expressed their intention to be
present We hope many more will
find it possible.
The wide-awake women of Chey-
enne, under the leadership of Mrs.
Ollie Hopkins Redd, Vice President
at Large of the Northwestern, are
very busy preparing for the enter
tainment and care of the delegates
and visitors who are expected to at
tend the convention. Have you
sent in your name for reservations?
1t is very necessary that the Local
Committee have your name at the
earliest possible moment as they
must make reservations with the
Secretary Of Frontier Days Commit
tee to have seats, at least month
beforehand. The Searchlight Club
Of Cheyenne will be hostess to the
occasion. The Governor of Wyoming
will welcome you to the city at
the opening night session. The May
or of Cheyenne will also be on hand
to do the bidding of the Club wom-
en-. The women of Cheyenne know
how to put things over. 1t is your
job to be on hand to see them do it.
The program will not be over
crowded. A resume of the ten years
work of this section of the National
will be novelty to us.
The women from the east propose
starting about a week before the
opening of the convention in order
to visit the club women along the
route of the Rock Island.
Read February National notes, to
be informed regarding the new divi-
sions.
Further information gladly given
on request to the General Officers
of the Northwestern, Abb Calumet

kLAN BURNS FIERY CROSSES

To Celebrate Passage Of Bible Bill
Huge fiery crosses, the symbol of
the Ku Klux Klan, blazed forth
from hilltops and other points of
vantage in all sections of Cincinnati
and Hamilton county last night.
The Cincinnati cross-burning is
said to have been part of a state
wide program, according to which
every Klan organization in the state
burned a cross in, its territory, in
celebration of the recent passage of
the Bible bill by the Ohio General
Assembly, making the reading Of
the Bible compulsory in the pub
lie schools.

Moral Crisis Exists
Says Noted Writer;
End Is Not in Sight

"The entire world is facing
crisis in morals. Sensuous dances,
inordinate love for games of chance
and licentious performances in
multitude of theaters are external
symptoms of breakdown in NOR
ais, which has been too conspicuous
throughout the world in the past
decade
In addition to the above comes
the auto with its facilities for whole
sale or retail petting parties, and
the incitement to moonshine that
prohibition has produced. AS sure
ly as the sun shines old standards
of morality are being rapidly de
molished. Necessity will force in
future an adjustment of a new set
of morals to correspond with the
new set of people being evolved by
modern methods of living.
The following article from France
will shed more light on the subject
since it shows that women are ad-
vocating and demanding a double
standard. Possibly men may soon
be forced to become mothers, or
population will cease for lack of
babies.

A STRONG CHARACTER

Union Pacific the first five years aft CT it's completion. The Southern Pa cific runs through land far less valu- able for agricultural, grazing or min eral purposes than does the Alaska Railroad.
 It is true the Territory needs high ways, but it also needs the railroad. The motor truck could never compete with the railroad in hauling coal, say from Healy to Seward, no matter what condition the highway was in. It could not handle the heavy machin- cry and equipment necessary for min- ing operations. They could not trans port passengers from Seward to Fair banks for S2S.5O, as is done at the present time. Roads are vitally neces- sary to develop the country, but in our opinion are necessary only as feeders for central line, which necessarily must be the railroad.
 The Congressman is judging condi- tions from a settled community's view point. The distances between towns on the railroad are necessarily great, and it takes a greater scope of coun- try to support town the size of An chorage, Seward, Nenana or Fair banks.
 The people of Alaska view the rail- road in the nature of an experiment as yet. No one can declare that the result is failure, as a thousand homes now dot the right-of-way, where not one existed before. Until the pro- gram outlined by the government is shown to be failure, why condemn it until the facts are ascertained?
 The government has held Alaska back for many years by adopting pro- grams for it's development, and then withdrawing support from one section and starting off half baked in some other spot.
 The government gave ten times $52,OOO,000 to the Southern Pacific in grants and lieu land bills The road served no worthy purpose, as, like the Alaska Railroad, it begins nowhere and ends at the same place. The Uu- ion Pacific and other roads could have carried it's tonnage and the steamers taken the freight to the coast towns, where it could have been distributed. But the road was built, and the judg- ment of it's builders was vindicated. We believe Congressman Free to have been misquoted, for he has been III Alaska for too short time to form any opinions worth while as to it's utilities and resources.

EVIDENTLY DISCOUNTED.

If Congressman A. M. Free of Cal ifornia, has been quoted correctly he evidently is laboring under misap- prehension regarding the value of the
 government railway to Alaska. In this interview he is quoted as saying "the
 railroad begins nowhere and ends no where, and practically serves no pur- pose" The road begins at Seward and
 ends at Fairbanks, traversing coun- try rich in coal and minerals. It en- ables Alaskans along the road to get coal for S7.50 per ton, which formerly cost from S2O to S45. It gives dozens of homesteaders and mine owners an opportunity to get supplies in to their properties at a reasonable cost, con- sidered from an Alaskan viewpoint. Before the railroad was built it cost a man from 15 cents to 25 cents per pound for freight on supplies or ma. chlnery. Today the rate is less than two cents. Formerly everything for the Interior was necked in or sledded in by dog team. This took months of time and was exceedingly dangerous.
 Freight rates are not as high as were rates over the western roads for a decade after they were built. More people live along the Alaskan railroad at the present time than along the

Ship Owners Bonus Plan
Wrecked By Union Labor

Washington, June 2. - Organized
labor's promnt reputation of a So
called bonus for seamen on American
vessels has enraged those ship own
ers who seem to accept the theory
| that an American merchant marine Is
| only possible by dividing the seamen
and destroying their union.
This element has encouraged the
IL. w. WIS and employed Asiatics
wherever possible. Whenever it were
choice between revolutionists and
trade unionists, they invariably gave
support to the former. The seamen
have routed the revolutionists, who
are discredited on the Atlantic and
the Pacific.
The ship owners now favor the So
called bonus, but organized labor,s
analysis of this proposal leaves t
without public defender.
The executive council of the A. r.
of l.. opposes the plan, and Presl,
dent Green declared that brides will
not cause the workers to abandon
their historic opposition to a ship
| subsidy.
Labor stands" said President
Green, where it did in 1899, when the
convention of the A. +. of l.. declared:
A subsidy, in the very nature OF
things, is the granting of a special
privilege empowering some men to MI
their pockets at the expense of others,
through the forms of law Labor
took the same position in the 1906 and
1922 conventions of the A. f of l..
In. a statement to members of the
International Seamen'S union, Andrew
Furuseth, president of that organiza
ton, riddles the alleged bonus. He
shows that the plan proposes that
owners Of American vessels shall be
paid $50 month for every American
seaman employed. There is not the
slightest intimation thai the Seamen
will receive any part of this money.
If the ship owner is so inclined he
may Tip" the seamen, but he is not
compelled to- The ship owners would
create the impression that the work
ers are to receive the $50 a month
direct.
"Of course" said President Furu-
seth, IF we sat still to permit such
ideas to sink into the public mind We
would be expected to assist the ship
owners in getting some subsidy ii
! place of the paltry sums they woulC
receive under the bidding proposal.
