SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927
White ft?ks are killing each o>‘her
hereabou's just like colbred folks.
The undertakers have long faces on
the outdid^, b'H they are mighty
happy on the inside, des, they are
so sorry.
Colored folks have had a hard
time of Thousands of them who
v ent North and West are having an
easier tt.ce of it. Most of them
seem to bo spending all that they
•make. Maiy take long trips back
home do-vn South to have a good
t me wit'll friends and relatives and
then go back North and West again
i,. make more money and to spend
it in the same way. They may not
save any money, bur they are piling
i.p g-ood 1 oalth and may live a cor
respondingly longer t me as a result
it. Th*- force of habit is always
uppermost
Marcus Gaivey is now bemg held
at the A.ianta Penitentiary, subject
to the United States Immigration
officials, who hold a warrant for him,
under which warrant he is to be
sent to Jamaica, w|'h the under
standing that he wfill never again
be permitted o enter any poTt of
entry in he United States by water
or any pln-e on the boundaries be
tween tl»'s country and Canada ot
Mexi.Jo. He can go> io Africa, how
ever and i may be that he will elect
so to do. «*»•
But ev i! on the Dark Continent,
t’uere is but pne country where he
would no . be subject to the British
oi to ‘he American influence and
that is in Abyssinia. We have before
emphasized the fact that even Afri
ca has been parcelled out among the
civilized t a’ious, so that even a na
tive. “has not where to lay his head.”
Certainly not with the rights of
sovereign-” in a way that has been
held up t- the black people of this
country.
Revolution against this condition of
affairs must be waged from wii'hin,
bv the Africans themselves. Mahat
ma Gandhi in India ha» begun such
i, movement. and he was imprisoned
in the manner that Garvey was im
prisoned He could ntot be deported
for the reason tha‘ he was in his own
heme, if Garvey had exercised tho
foresight t° bee rae a naturalized
American citizen, he could have re
mained in this counCry.
It may be that he pursued the
wisest course in contention for i
pr noiple. He has sowed deep the
seed of race patriotism. It may not
come to its full growth, during his
day tor his generation, but it wMl
come. Evidently there is something
mare than vamty that has urged him
on fo a envrse of sacrifice and pen
ury .
In Jamaica, he will find black
friends. C-ther coup-tries have na
tives. who have .imbued his spirit
and beaome devotees of his theories
He may die but his theories and
•*-h«s soul will go marching on.’'
Farewell. Marcus Garvey!

Best For
Weak Back
Are you suffering from the misery
of a lame, aching back? \ou can get
almost instant relief by putting on a
lohnson’s Red Cross Kidney Plaster,
it warms, soothes anJ supports the
weak back, and gently massages tne
tissues with every movement of the
, body, thus helping to restore proper
circulation and normal strength. John
son's Red Cross Kidney Plaster brings
amazingly quick results because the
medication penetrates straight through
the skin to the affected parts—pain
goes, soreness leaves, power returns,
almost immediately. And you get last
ing relief, too, for the medication is
'continually absorbed as long as the
plaster remains on the body. Try a
Red Cross Kidney Plaster tonight andi
•prove how quickly it drives away the
,misery of a weak back.
, Just go to any drug store and ask
(for Johnson’s, the big Red Cross Kid- i
aey Plaster with the redjarmcj jack. i

Author of “ What Can a Man Believed '
Asks Public to State Its Belief
i What can a man Delleve?
Bruce Barton took that question as
>the title for his latest volume on
practical religion ana now the Na
tional Broadcasting Co. has seized
bn ooth the query and the book to
find out what the public wants In
the way of radio programs.
ML BL Aylesworth. president ol the
N B. C. felt the public would Uke
to hear its favorite authors discuss
their own works over the air Some
pf his associate* thought it would not.
'with these differing opinions, what
could they oelleve?
> That suggested the answer: Try
it out. with Bruce Barton and his new
pook. So a test program was ar
ranged for Nov 6. over a network of
fom” twenty stations, with Barton
discussing his own books and telling
why he believes what be believes, the
public being asked to express Its be
lief whether such programs should be
continued. The response to this trial
broadcast will determine the policy
bl the N B. C. in putting on a series
ol similar literary programs.
In addition to “What Can a Man
Believe,” Mr Barton is the author ox
f*The Man Nobody Knows,” "The
Book Nobody Knows,” and others.
Born m Robbing Tenn. son of Dr.
fend Mrs. William B. Barton, the au
thor eras graduated from Amherst
College, twenty years ago. AX ten ten
Vears of magazine experience, he be
came president oX the advertising
firm of Barton. Durstlne St Osborn.
In this period he has in some way
