The language spoken in Arizona
is very similar to the English except
that is is somewhat poxmarked with
the Mexican method of conveying
thought.
The Mexican languages mother and
father were Spanish.
When one is thoroughly inoculated
with it, he becomes very valuable as
sheepherder; at least most Of the

Coach Lavik of Teachers college at

what inebriated was walking out one
night and as he stepped on the bridge
he saw in the water below the re-
Election of the moon. Long and ear
neStly he gazed at the reflection.
Then, another man approaching, he
turned to him and asked:
Whats that thing down there ?"
The man looked. That's the moon, .
he said.
''The moon-down there?"
''Yep."
'9Then if that's the moon down there

DR.. E. S. Miller recalls one about
two former neighbors of his, one a
doctor, the other lawyer. The doc
tor was a pretty nice chap, the law
yer rather tricky. Both had hens. The
doctor kept his in a yard. The law
yer let his roam and they did lot
of mischief in the doctors garden.
The latter got tired of it, and one
day said: Sam, your chickens
are doing lot of damage in my gar
den, and you'll have to keep them shut
up or I'll have to take a gun and
kill every one that comes over on my
side of the fence"
That's all right" said the lawyer.
Il know they are nuisance, and you
have my hearty permission to kill any
of them that bother you"
That night the lawyer shut his
chickens in their house and slipped
around and unfastened the hen-yard
fence of the doctor.
Next morning the doctor came out,
and as usual there were a lot of
chickens scratching up his garden and

view of utterly abolishing the in
iquitous and undemocratic Jim Crow
system.
Despite, then, all that we have ac-
complished, our task for coming years
is all too clear. We must continue to
strive for a national law against
lynching, for more intensive investiga-
tion and prosecution of peonage, for
the better education of colored children
and for the abolition of Jim Crow
cars in interstate traffic. We must
continue to attack disfranchisement
and segregation and constantly stand
on guard against further encroach-
ments on our fundamental rights.
And we must, above all, remember
that our most effective weapon Is an
independent and unpurchasable ballot
mortgaged to no man nor party and
cast not for past favors but only for
those individual candidates who vote
and act for our best interest and the
general good.

Beware of pickpockets!
Such is the message to all citizens
contained in this weeks bulletin issued
by Chief Of Police Michael Hughes.
The bulletin follows:
-- This advice is particularly directed
to women. Do not carry large sums
of money in handbags. A dangling
handbag is an invitation to a pick
pocket.
When riding in public elevators,
grip your handbag or purse securely
with both hands so that it- cannot be
opened Women when shopping
should not lay their handbags or
purses carelessly on the counter.
Beware Of affable women shoppers
who are anxious to make your &C
quaintance. Avoid against being
jostled in crowded places. Keep or
the edge Of the crowd as much as pos
sible.
Men should use extreme caution
when carrying large sums of money
on their person. You are easy prey
for thief when you carry your wal
let in your hip pocket.
Always be on your guard when rid
ing in public conveyances. Beware o
the stranger who thrusts newspape

The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People Publishes Its 18th
Annual Address to the
American People.
The Address Which Was Adopted at the Late
Conference Held at indianapolis, Indiana, Was
Drawn Up by Committee Headed by Dr.W.E.
B. Dubois, and Is AS Follows:

For twenty-five years the white
primary system of the South has been
the most successful method of dis
franchising Negroes. This year, for
the first time, we have secured from
the Supreme Court Of the United
States, in the Texas case, a decision,
which is the beginning Of the over
throw of the white primary; and not
only this, but in its decision the Su-
preme Court in the most emphatic Ian
guage rewrote and reafirmed the four
teenth amendment as the fundamental
charter of the rights Of Negroes in
America.
"The champions Of race segregation
have been chased from pillar to post
in city council, legislature and court BY
this association during the last hf-
teen years; the pursuit was crowned
with success by the Louisville deci-
sion of the Supreme Court in 1917;
and that decision was, this last year,
reafirmed and strengthened in the
Louisiana case.
THE association, during the past
year, has clearly proved the INSULT
cheney Of state law to cope with
lynching. We have shown that state
like South Carolina is unable to punish
mob murder even when furnished with
circumstantial proof of individual guilt.
At Aiken, S. c., the lynchers are
known. Their unmolested freedom is
the final demand for national action
against lynching.
1--WE have studied during the year
the Negro public common school in
seven Southern states and shown to
the nation the present demand for ele-
mentary education for black America
demand reinforced by the cultural
movement in literature and art which
this association largely inaugurated
and first encouraged, and which is still
showing vigorous development and
healthy growth. The reform in Negro
higher education, begun at Fisk and
continued at Howard has, with our con
tinued encouragement, spread to other
institutions.
1--WE note with hopeful interest the
beginnings of liberal sentiment in the
backward South, manifested in a
changed attitude in some of the more
courageous newspapers; a growing
open-mindedness among white stu
dents; a gesture, still all too feeble
toward correcting the outrageous dis
elimination against Negro schools; ar
increasingly sympathetic attitude on
the part Of the cultural elements q
the South; and, finally, more decent
respect for the public opinion Of the
civilized world. These sentiments dc
not dominate Southern opinion as yet
but their existence is encouraging tc
every lover of justice. The persistent
campaign Of the N. A. A. c. P. fol
social justice has played no small par
in the rise and development Of thi'

"This record of achievement is by
no means complete, but it indicates
the magnitude OF our task and the
encouragement which crowns our ef-
forts.
1T would, however, be grave mis-
take for this association or for the
Negro race in America, to feel that
our recent record of triumph is rea-
son for relaxed effort or lessened anx-
iety. On the contrary, from this rec
ord of achievement we have just
learned true methods of aggression and
defense and we have just begun to
fight in deadly earnest.
LET us be frank and open with our
selves. The American Of Negro de
scent is still slave in the United
States. Lynching is again increasing
and the burning of human beings has
not ceased. False accusation of crime
as at Coffeyville is meat for mobs.
Many Negroes are forced to labor at
wretched wages and under impossible
conditions. Peonage, even in the
midst Of such a calamity as the Mis-
sissippi food, has been carried out
openly and publicly with armed guards
and militia. The doors Of trades
unions still remain partially closed and
the path of the professions is strewn
with discouraging obstacles even to
conspicuous ability.
THE position of the Negro children
in the public schools, both North and
South, is still deplorable and they are
not being given an equal or decent
chance for common school training.
Adequate high school facilities are be-
ing denied in a large part Of the
Southern states and IN many Of the
Northern states Negro colleges are
starving for funds. State institutions,
like Lincoln of Missouri, are at the
mercy of grating politicians and the
admission of Negroes to Northern col
leges, even to state universities sup
ported by public taxation, is being re-
stricted by race discrimination.
Residential segregation, clearly
against the spirit Of American insti-
tutions, the law Of the land and the
decision Of the courts, is still being
carried out by the manipulation Of real
estate dealers and financial interests
Unfair marriage laws to encourage
bastardy and prostitution are pro-
posed annually in those states where
they have not yet been enacted II
