GOOD CITIZENS
The thoughtful colored people of this city want to impress
upon the minds of the white people the fact that they are as
intensely interested in the well-being of everything which affects
Phoenix as anybody else, and that they are as proud of the suc
cess of any individual or enterprise as anybody else.
When a person makes a commendable record we are ready
to shout their praise as much as anybody, because we feel that
whatever brings renown and notice to any of our people helps all
the people, especially that class of people who want Phoenix and
its people to equal any people anywhere.
As we weigh existing conditions, and study the men who
have been responsible for these conditions, we feel that the
future of the city is resplendent with great possibilities, as long
as we keep men in authority who are honest, conscientious and
earnest in the performance of the duties entrusted to their
keeping.
There have been some complaints about some of the people
in authority, and some of the methodds employed by them, but
only angles could do things in such a perfect manner as to escape
the complaints and criticisms of some people.
The more we hear and see of the men in power, the more
we are convinced that the people were most fortunate in their
selections of these men who have been played in control of affairs.
■When men in authority set high and lofty examples, the people
do their best to uphold the standard. Nowhere in the United
States is there a more sincere effort existent to better the re
lations of the races than here. Men of thought and men of ac
tion are putting shoulder to shoulder, not only to create a magni
ficient sentiment for righteous uplift among all the people, but
there is a generous impulse to meet the other fellow half way,
and lend a helping hand anywhere it is needed.
In this city, where everybody is cosmopolitan, no person
seems anxious to lord himself to the detriment of others. The
idea of give and take is general, and we thank God for the
excellent spirit which permeates the very atmosphere. The dis
position to lend a ready ear to reasonable demands is com
mendably prevalent and, in consequence, differences of opinion
find ready adjustment.
As long as this spirit is uppermost, the fame of Phoenix
will never lack for advocates of her splendid virtues, or defenders
at any attempt to defame or detract from her renown.
o .
SOWING AND REAPING
Again, we wish to express? our thanks to the white as well as
to the colored people, for the loyal support they are giving the
Tribune in the form of subscriptions and advertising. We are a
firm believer in the divine injunction: “Whatsoever A Man
Soweth, Tlfat Shall He Also Retp”, and accordingly we have tried
to keep the columns of this paper free from those articles that
would antagonize one group or the other. Our policy is to be
fair and impartial and, in consequence, we number today among
our subscribers and patrons as many people of the white race as
among our own people. Every day brings requests from some
member of the white race to be placed on our mailing list. And
too, our own people seem to appreciate the Tribune now more
than ever. We had no idea that conservatism in journalism
would pay such big dividends, notwithstanding, we adopted it as
our policy and have no regrets.
o
TULSA RIOT
As we go to press this Thursday morning, we are advised
by Associated Press reports of a race riot that is raging in Tulsa,
Okla. The full report of the riot as gathered by a representative
of the Associated Negro Press, who is now on the scene, will ap
pear in next week’s issue of this paper. You cannot always be
lieve the reports as given out by the other side, sometimes they
are colored. The Associated Negro press will report the affair
just as it was, without attempting to justify the actions of one
group or Ihe other-and vice versa. Watch next week’s Tribune
for complete report of this affair.

o
SPLENDID ADDRESS
BY MISS MICKENS
(continued from page 1)
not the exhibit from tho outisde, it is
what we are, as we are judged from
our actions, by the fruits we bring
forth.
“Character is the cultivated power.
Shun the examples of the world.
How many persons ever made a care
ful analysis of their own character or
labored to develop the good and sup
press the evil?
"Public sentiment is beginning to
measure a man. not so ranch by his
culture, as’ what he can do with his
culture. We must understand that
the demands are different now from
what they were in times gone by. A
man must accomplish something if he
expects to meet the possibilities that
await him and Ills race.
”1 do not object to education; I
rather love education; but how must
a man. be educated? His feet, his
eyes, his hands, his head, all must be
educated; and when he is thus edu
cated he is prepared to meet the
emergency that awaits his race. As
a race thus educated, we cannot be
hindered from taking position in life |
jas American citizens.
“It is often said that everything is
against us. and it seems so; ■ but
while this seems the case, we must
be doing something individually and
jas a race. My hand and your have a
t work to do; my head and yours have
| a duty to perform.
“We endured slavery 243 years and
| stayed here and we shall still be here
j when lynch laws shall have spent
| their force, and with us will be our
white brother. Let us be done with
sowing the seed of • bitterness; we
can only reap the whirlwind of de
struction.
“There is one thing the Negro must
be proud of before be ca.i reach the
height, and possibilities iiat await,
him. He must learn to be proud of
bis race and color. No race can be
successful until it does this. I would
i not change my color, because I am
! proud of it. If there is any one thing
j that will clog the wheel of our nta
| serial progress, it is some of us. Try
to be yourself. We should not be
come dazzled at the splendor and
magnificence of those who have had
hundreds of years to make this coun
try what it is today.
“No man is a success who has not
a fixed sign post, an aim in life. Too
much Greek will do you no good with
a white apron on. 1 do not say that
you should not study Greek, if you in
tend to fill a chair in some institution
jof learning, i do not say that you
should not read medicine if you in
tend to become a physician, or law if
you desire lo follow that profession.
If we watch our chances, and take
timely advantage of the opportuni
ties offered us, our race will greatly
improve and we will be wage workers,
skilled artisans and eventually land
owners and a'wealthy class of ritizens
of this country. I advise yon to learn
trades; learn to become mechanics.
We have the ability and capacity to
reach the highest point and go further
in progress than has been made by
any other race.
“Some otthese days all the skies wfll
be brighter.
Some of these days all the burdens
will be lighter
Hearts will be happier, souls will be
whiter,
Some of these days.
“Some of these days in the deserts
uprising.
Fountains shall flash while the joy
bolls are ringing.
And the world with its sweetest of
birds shall go singing,
Some of these days.
“Some otthese days let us boar with
our sorrow,
Faith in the future—it, light we may
borrow;
There will be joy in the golden to
morrow—
j Some of these days.”
We have a quantity of Lumber Ix 4 to Ixl2 dressed
on two sides that we are closing out at $27.50 per
thousand feet. 'N.-
