SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW
We are proud to have so many excellent writers among our correspond
ents. We are also pleased to know that each of them is a highly respectable
and representaive citizen in the community in which he resides. We are
eorry, however, that at least cue of our correspondents wishes to use the
news columns of The Tribune to express ‘ his views” on certain political
issues, and to impress upon the colored people the necessity for their support
of certain candidates for certain offices.
For the information of this individual, and for the information of any
other person who may have a desire to discuss' politics through the columns
of The Tribune, we will say that our advertising rates are reasonable and
may he had upon application. Send in your views and ideas concerning the
candidates in the coming campaign, but be sure and accompany same with
remittance to cover cost of publication as paid advertisement.
We have about one thousand Democrats among our readers and about
the same number of Republicans. We hope to continue publication of The
Tribune after the election, dnd wo want this paper to be even more popular
then than it is now. In order to attain this end, we have taken a neutral
stand. While no political issues will bo dismissed by us, our advertising
columns are open to all candidates and parties alike and we give them our
assurance of fair treatment and a broad circuation among the colored people
throughout the State.
TEXAS FIRST TO REPLY
On last Friday there appeared striking headlines in most of the daily !
papers featuring President Wilson’s message on mob law. The President’s
statement, which was addressed to “My Fellow Countrymen”, is thought to
jiave been inspired by the numerous lynchings of which suspected pro-Ger
m: ■ !- were lb > victims. *
In this message, the President'points out that every lynching is a blow)
at the heart of law and justice, and directly opposed to the principles for
which America, as a Democracy, stands.
How shall we,” he asks, “commend Democracy to the acceptance of
other people if we disgrace our own by proving that it is, after all, no pro
tectivi to the weak?”
In this srirring denunciation of mob rule and this plea to all Americans
' to mak< an end of this disgraceful evil,” the Presidenl placed the lynchers
squarely on the ide of Germany by declaring that a.oy man who even so
much as countenanced mob action, is a betrayer of American Democracy and
adopts the ' standards of the enemy of his country, wlibm he affects to
despise.”
Ot the southern states, Texas proudly claims the distinction of being
the first to reply t 0 this notable message of the President. Her reply was
rent broadcast over the country the next day and read something like thi3:
"Texas Mob Hangs Negro.” Any American white man in Texas will tell you I
that ho and his people stand squarely behind President Wilson in waging!
th s war for Democracy, and yet they cannot refrain from lynching even at
lli request of the President. Lynching has evidently become a chronic
disease in this country, and will therefore require something a trifle stronger
than a “message on mob law” to stop it.
HOW COLORED PEOPLE MAY HELP IN WAR WORK
'Vie Mr. Emmett J Scolt was appointed to be a special assistant to
’* lr Secretary of War in matters relating to our colored people as a factor;
in the present war, we commended the appointment a.nd warmly approved
,the select;-in. Secretary Baker’s wisdom in making the appointment is
already more than demonstrated. That Mr. Scott was th" ideal man for the
job is already more than proven.
There are two thoughts that stand out prominently in this connection.
One is the gratitude of a large portion of our population to Mr. Baker for
th' liberality and courage in him that mad" the appointment possible: the
other' is the satisfaction of the colored race in possessing a man of Mr. Scott’s
character, tact, adaptability and capacity.
Another Drought is: What can the colored people do to help Mr. Baker
and Mr. Scott to make the work a success? Our answer is: Do not ask a
multiplicity of embarrassing questions. Refrain from all adverse criticisms.
Offer constructive suggestions, calculated to be useful to the country. Co
operate in every reasonable way that Mr. Scott may indicate.
Tt is not necessary that all of us at such a time should know all the rea
son:; for all proposed measures and steps. At such a time we must all be, I
ii not actual soldiers, soldiers at heart. The spirit of true soldiers is the !
> pirit of the daring Six Hundred who rode into the jaws of death at Balaklava: !
Ours not to reason why;
Ours but to do and die.
ADVICE TO COLORED WOMEN WHOSE HUSBANDS ARE AT WAR
The following article, clipped from one of our leading periodicals, shows
the folly of Idleness among our women and we beieve this a good time to
publish same Following is the article:
To the Editor of The Times:—Please let me say just a few words of
warning to the members of my race There seems to be a disposition on
the part of some few of them who have relatives who have gone to the army,
to carouse, have a good time, live in idleness, boast about not having to
work, and flaunting cn the streets because they are receiving or expecting
to receive money from the government. Some have made their brags, that
when they get their money, they will not work for anyone. Some say that
they are going north My friend, this is a sad mistake on your part, indeed,
’ v ‘ hv •••ad on". A greater mistake you could not make in a life-time. Did
you know th.:t when the government supports or helps to support individuals
it must know how the money is spent, something of the lives of said char
acters, their habits and the kind of house kept by said characters? To get
this information they keep a faithful watch over all persons it pays money
to. At this tinv every city, tow n, and county is full of secret service men ;
and women !,<“ me say they are not all white. They report those who <
fail so come up to what the government requires of them. You never know
who reports you. vyhen you were reported, what you are reported for. One
thing you will know, that your money is stopped. My advice is, work just
at; you did before you had relatives in the army, live just as well, be just as
civil and loyal. Don’t boast: save your money, pay your debts, work every
d:r you have a chance. Do not have a “good time” hanging around your (
home; stay off the street unless on business, and you will not be interfered 1
THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
with. Those who refuse U work because they are receiving a little money
from the government is an evidence that they a»e unworthy of such support.
We must remember that a;l persons refusing to work for a reasonable price
without good cause the government can make them work, if it need be, just
as it took your husband oi son withtJut your consent. I hope you will receive
this letter in the spirit in which it has been written.
