The United Charities had gone be-

a Feeling Based on the lnrtinot Of Self
Preservation.
That well known investigator Of
psychological abstrusities. NJ. Fernando
Mazade. has attracted much attention
by discussion of the query, What
is fearf" The famous psychological
playwright. Alfred Capus. who has
dealt with the human emotion with
such fidelity in his masterpieces.
writes:
I'm general, think that when there
a sufficient perception of the peril to
have the feeling of fear. Fear implies
a consciousness OF danger and the re-
fusal or moral impossibility to face It.
Fear consists in captivating TO the In
stinct Of self preservation"
NJ. Victor Marguerite says: Fear is
a physical trouble much more than
feeling" and can ultimately be over
come by force of will NJ. Alfred Me
zieres of the French academy consid-
ers that fear is caused by some unex-
pected danger. NJ. Pouchet of the
Academy OF Medicine doubts whether
any man has ever been quite free Of
fear for himself or for others.
NJ. Sicard, who Is professor at the
Faculty Of Medicine. considers fear or
courage to be the result of tempera-
ment, training and thought Fear can
be partially eradicated by reasoning
and education, but 1t will never be
overcome In its most acute form
namely, the instinct of self preserva-
ton. The conclusion is that it is far
from being unanimously admitted that
fear is ridiculous malady.-Philadel-

Deen tried and resulted into a CHASTITY
failure; instead of making for har.
mony and cordial good feeling be.
tween two races, it has increased
race hatred AMI antagonism in leans
and bounds. We have needed too
long the advice from false and treach-
erous leadership that resistance is
wrong, that it only breeds race hat
red and antagonism; that the thing
1or US to do is to get property and
other rights will inevitably follow.
we have followed this advice" faitl-
fully and have been rewarded in
terms of residence segregation, street
segregation, confiscation and loss of
property, Observation-Disclosures is
all of the blacklist pieces of legis-
latlon, since that it leaves our women
defenseless and at the mercy of white
orutes - separate schools, jimcrow
cars, and even legislating to exclude
further Negro immigration. These
are the evils resulting from non.
resistance" and rather be by our.
selves" That with the same degree
OF effontry and terrible legislation
with which our property is taken and
conf1scated, with this same etrontry
and legislation will our political and
manhood rights be taken from us.

one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS
