SATURDAY, . . . OCTOU19II 7, 1922
Wo lose much ground by our own
blunders and after all, the Negro's
.worst enemy Is himself.
When you get low-spirited, you are
half whipped before you sttyt out with
your undertaking.
MJL-UUIL'JWWI mt'MJ'M I.1?'HiUKHTOI
Every time tlvcy shove the eo'crru.
folks down in one place, they "bob up
.serenely" in another.
Some peoplo bolieve in getting by
on sympathy. Those kind of poopiv
usually constitute the failures in this
world..
t
The better class of white people believe
in encouraging the better class
of colored people. But God help this
other class of both races.
We are left out of many public en terprises
in which we should participate,
but the time will come that \vt
.shall get there after a while.
/
"You can win the favor and support
4)f tiro white folks by pleasing tlioin.
You can win tho favor ami support 01
tlio eolored folks by like treatment, it
pays to have the favor and the support
>of both classes.
Widohing the gap between tho'
white and colored folks in this coun-'
try will not gel us anywhere, but will'
lend to injure us as much as it is detrimental
to the could ry to which wo
live. Roth parties will be tho sufferers.

<*AKVRY*S CALL TO ARMS.
Tho Hon. Marcus Garvey is using
>sotno plain language theso days in tho
current issues of the Negro World.
His latest deliverance under date of (
October 7th charges thai rival enemy i
organizations are marshalling their j
forces ngainst tho mighty movomem i
of the Universal Negro Improvement
Association and will aid in tho prosecutjon
in tho United States Com *
.against him, which case will soon coinn i
to trial. Ho assorts that we are bank-!
rupt i? race leadership. Wo are of the!
opinion that the whole world just now
is bankrupt in competent leadership. |
Certain it is that the Congress of tluv
"United States furnishes a most remark
able evidence that the United States
.is bankrupt in white leadership.
The labor unions of the country
have demonstrated that they arc lacking
in leadership. Demagogues of
every type are in evidence in high
places. We have been of the opinion
that Marcus Garvey and his movement'
l.ave been generally misunderstood by
tho upper class of colo'Td people. He{
is not a citizen of thu United States.!
He claims that this is a white man's
government and that the Negro hasr
no part or parcel in this Government.
Ho is correct in this for the Constitution
of the United Statos does not J
recognize Negroes as a part of this
Government.
It recognizes American citizens
a part and parcol of the Government]
and when the citizen of African dea*
cent, who was horn here insists upon;
hi3 rights and privileges under the!
aforesaid Constitution, he Is within
his rights. Hon. Marcus Garvey Is at. j
advocate of Negroism in its entirety.
"He wants to build up an empire or a
. republic in Africa, with all the po^vei J
$f the present Governments, which
now control the civilized world. He |s
preaching tho gospel of discontent,
which gospel rallies to his banner
thousands of dissatisfied black people,
throughout the civilized world. Mr.
Garvey realizes and knows that thv
revolution must be started among Negroes,
who have been blessed by ci*;.*j
lizatjon. He know* that a full roaliza-'
/
V
tlon of hls> bopos canni**. bo bro ig??.
about during his lifotiiuo.
But what about the tens of thousands
of cltizons of color, who bold
lightly tho racial characteristics and
movements? These aro tiro ones. wln>
aro antagonizing tho Garvoy movement
for the reason that Nogro-batlns
whlto people aro using tho Garvoy
declarations- to justify tho racial discriminations,
which aro antagonistic
to tho fundamental principles of the
Republic itself. This produces a most
embarrassing situation. We had hoped
that these classes would agree to disagree,
that no dcallf-figlit so to speak
would take place between them. As
tho matter now stands, Marcus Gar-1
vey is calling his followers to arms,'
against tho powerful movement whicfi ,
is gaining momentum in this country
against his propaganda.
We are still of the opinion that a
basis of mutual understanding can be
reached, by which each side may pursuo
Its own courco in peace. The citizen
of color with American citizen
ship sealed with tho blood of his fellows
knows 110 flag but tho stars an.j
stripes, lie has suffered in silence an l
is still suffering. Will he renounce his
American citizenship and follow tho
uuaiis 01 mo reu, oiacK and green?
This is tho question ami the revolution,
wliich the Hon. Marcus Garvoy
is fomenting may result in the consummation
of a hope existing in the
breasts of somo black leaders many
centuries ago.
I'OITIjAII NOMIX EKS IN NEW
YORK STATU.
The situation in New York State is
interesting, to say the least. The iU
publican Convention in session at Albany
September, named Gov. Natliai.
L. Miller as candidate to succeed him
self and the Deinociats, in convention
assembled named as his political opponcnt
for the same oillce, Ex-Gov.
Alfred E. Smith. Viewed from an impartial
standpoint, it is doubtful if
the majority either way will be Kirgi
and the Republicans will have tlio
time of their lives in holding control
of the State. The Democratic nomine*,
is. deservedly popular and his forme,
administuition won' for him hearty
support from the people of New York
Slate.
Governor Miller is as strong a candidate
as the Republicans could lmvo
named and if he cannot win in November.
no other Republican can successfully
carry the banner of Republican
ism to victory. The only way Govern^,
Alfred 10. Smith has been defeated
was by a Republican landslide, tlio
kind that landed lion. Warren G.
Harding in the Whito House at Was?
ington. We should not wonder, but
what both of theso candidates have
the presidential boo "in their bonnets."
Whether either of them is of
presidential size is hardly a question
in view of tho peculiar attitude and act
ion of presidential nominating conven
tions in recent years.
Oue thing is certain, the colored
vote will bo "split wide open" in tho I
contest., for both of the nominees are
regarded as having no antipathy to tiro!
"brother in black" and Tammany Hall
has been making atoi.dy inioads upon
tlie colored contingent in the Empire
State. Certain it is that politicians in
that neighborhood will "roost high"
between this time and election day
and the'result will furnish interesting
infrnnation, to those, who have been
regarding the racial political question
with peculiar interest.
A S10 NATO RIAL CANDIDATE.
Tho Republican State Convention,
which met at True Reformers Hfffli
inni mummy I1I&I1L SilW 111 M> p,.aC(!
Editor Matt N. Lewis, in the field as
candidate for United States Senate. Ho
did not hesitate to accept the honor
and promised to make a canvass o?
the State during the brief period inter
veiling between now and the time of
the election. He stands squarely upon
the platform enunciated by the parly
last year and pledges to observe tno
fundamental principles of the Republican
Party without regard to race, color
or ro'ligious scruples.
Wo are of the opinion that a wteor
choice could not have been made. Mr.
Lewis is an old campaigner and h<?
is in a position to render a good account
of himself. Conditions are such
that the colored people,, who believe in
the fundamental principles of the Republican
Party cannot vote .unless
they have some one on the ticket for
whom they wish to voto. This nhano nf
tlio subject is met In Mr. Mntt N.
Lewis's candidacy. Ho edits tlie Newport
News Star and this will furnish
to him a support, which will be all
important in this contest.
Let us give him our enthusiastic sup
port, "wjth malice towards none and
charity for all." By so doing, wo cafc
at least maintain our self-respect anu
servo notice to the Republicans of ths
country that tbe Old Guard stands
ready to do their duty and to meet the
issues as they are presented to them.
Matt N. Lewis is our candidate for
United States Senator. Let us rally as
one man and support him.
