Marcus Carvey and
Our Possiblized
Missionaries
By J. Arthur Davis


The great vision of Hon. Marcus
Garvey, founder of the Universal Ne
gro Improvement Association, for the
union of blacks everywhere and his
dream of the Black Star Steamship
Lire to link them together in travel
and commerce, is a practical PROPOSE
ton that is finding, it seems, ready
response in the new Negro.
1t is not only practicable, but it
has always been a necessity. 1t has
needed an international leader.
Heretofore, the homelike inclination
of the race has narrowed its horizon
and our leadership has been local
and scarcely national; appointed and
not produced. Every great crisis
both makes and unmakes great men.
This leader, 30 years of age, from
the West Indies, has been produced
by" the new race selfconsciousness
born of the great war; which has
made black men everywhere discover
each other and feel like brothers,
both those of the United States, Cen
trail and South America, the West
Indies and Africa.
In the realization of this dream, he
has already organized large numbers
in the above named countries and
the proposed company has purchased
a ship. Like Bishop Turner, he
dreams of a Negro flag in Africa.
Like our missionaries, he claims that
if Africa is to be saved, it must be
saved by black men. But he would
save it by wholesale, while our mis-
sionaries have been trying to save it
by the retail For fifty years they
have been raising money to that end.
We do not criticise their good inten-
tieiis, but their stupid methods. To
send one missionary with Bible in
one hand and hoe in the other to
christianze and industrialize three
hundred million natives is an absurd
procedure. They could just as cas-
ily have established steamship line
and carried substantial civilization.
The most concrete example of mis-
sionary stupidity is now underway.
On the eighth of this month couple,
who have been educated in this coun-
try, the husband as doctor and the
wife as a sick nurse, will sail for Lii
IBERIA with three children. Rev.
Jorden has raised among the Bap-
lists six thousand dollars to defray
their expenses. This sum is to pay
transportation for them and himself,
to buy $500 worth of medicine for
the natives, condensed milk for the
children, Bibles and song books,
clothes, ETC., and an OK yoke for him
self to use to instruct the natives in
driving oxen. With fifty times this
much money which the two and one
half million Baptists could raise in
one week as an investment in a
steamship line to Liberia, we could
carry missionaries, commerce and de-
velop a real and substantial civiliza
ton.
If we are to be free like other peo
pie, we must develop world travel and
commerce. We cannot live unto our
selves. A free and aggressive spirit
knows neither opposition nor bound
aries.
We wish for Hon. Marcus Garvey
success in organizing Chicago this
week and can earnestly encourage
with him the elimination of all fossil
lied leadership.

Business as usual was the slogan
today. The morning papers con-
tanned the announcement of the as

noon the General recinded practic-
ally all orders affecting the public.
The annual fall carnival, which had
been suspended for three days, was
permitted to resume. An athletic
event is going on in the city auditor
ium. All theaters and movie houses
are open. All downtown streets are
lighted with different colored bulbs
and the buildings are decorated with
the national colors.
Arrests of the rioters continued to-
day. County Attorney A. V. Shot

murder against six of the rioters.
These men are already under arrest
More than $50 are in Jail and will be
held until their cases can be investi-
gated. Wholesale arrests are to con.
tinue as rapidly as information can
be secured. Governor McKelvie ar.
rived in Omaha this afternoon to as

Among the features are Weber, Beck and Frazer, a trio of tall ented entertainers who captured the au- dience with harmony and song and spritely comedy. put over with a snap that is refreshing.
 A decided novelty is the offering of the two Ysquis, stalwart Indian brave and a comely, shapely squaw, who present song seelctions in excellent voice and native dances in true Indian fashion. The enjoyment of the act is enhanced by the beautiful costumes and appropriate stage setting.
 Than Mabel and Johnny Dove there are no more cleverer entertainers on the stage and while they appear in blackface, Johnny comes out in kits and cracks a few jokes with Scotch accent that would do credit to Harry Lauder. He is also one of the most finished step dancers on the stage, and is ab;v assisted by his clever partner.
 A unique offering is that of Wayne Bee man, a musical and agile youth, who renders selections on, the harmonica and does some astounding whirling stunts cn the roller skates. The Claimant brothers close the bill with a sensational revolving ladder act that is a peach.

Mabel Normand in the "Jinx"
 Delightful Photoplay-Lyric

The acid test of a beautiful woman is 10 put on a mans hat and see what she looks like. That's why there are so many more handsome women than there are men. But Mabel Norman, who plays the part of "Jinx," the little circus girl, at the Lyric all this week. looks as good in mans hat as a brand new dollar when you're almost broke.
 "Jinx' is not exactly a farce comedy although it is a perfect scream from start to finish. It has a story woven
 into the life of a circus giri, and a story of the life of the people outside the circus. It is a picture with lots of fun, both from Mabel's antics and the funny tale portrayed so cleverly on the screen. "The JinX" they call the little orphan
 girl, who left parentless. follows the

My troubles have been completely overcome since I began taking Tanlac and I am enjoying the best health I have had in 20 years" said Mrs. NJ. Parker of 423 East Third street, Los Angeles, Cal.
 T spent several thousand dollars for medicines and treatmcnts she con tinued, but it was just money thrown away, for I never got any relief from 'iny suffering until I commenced taking Tanlac. 1 was practically an invalid for 20 years, and all my trouble was caused by the awful condition of my stomach. A great part of the time I was confined to my bed. simply too weak to be up. I could eat but very little, and that disagreed with me I suffered terribly from gas. To make matters worse. I was attacked by rheu- matism in my arms and legs, which caused me no end of pain and misery. I never got a good nights sleep and became extremely nervous.
 Well, I have just finished my fourth bottle of Tanlac and it is wonderful the way I have improved. Why. I feel so well and strong I do all my house. work without the least trouble. Last week I actually did the family washing and it has been many years since I did a thing like that. My appetite is fine and nothing disagrees with me. I sleep restfully and get up feeling refreshed every morning. The rheumatim has entirely disappeared and Tanlac de- serves every bit of the credit"

LOCAL TEAM LOSES !. ID MANDY QUINTET Cody and Zerfoss Play a
 Wonderful Game-Club
 Five Fought Gamely

The Birmingham Athletic club cage team fell to defeat before the onrush of the vandy quintet last night, by the close count of 30 to A. The game was hard fought and kept the crowd of Vandy and club rooters on it's feet
 The scoring began soon after the first whistle was sounded and con never becoming tame or slow. Vandy started with rush, but the local quintet settled down and during the first few minutes was in the lead Once or twice itlooked as if the visit ors would swamp the B. A. C. team being many points ahead, but each time the local crew rallied and, fore ing their count up, pushed vandy to the limit.
 The undoubted feature of the game was the wonderful team work of Cody and zerfoss. Both, playing at for ward, were fast and aggressive and seemed all over the court at once Cody would intercept the pass of a club player and, turning. throw the ball to Zerfoss who, by dribbles and quick passes would work the ball into
 
 always with him, and these two pre- scented a wonderful exhibition of bas- ketball. Every point which Wander hilt made was scored by either Cody or Zerfoss.
 No one player shone the brightest on the local team, each man giving all he had and fighting every second of the time. Moughon, McGowan and link Gillian swept down the courts in the first half and constituted a team in themselves. After he was substituted for Nelson, Baker played the game of his life, He was in al most every play, either blocking a Nandy player or casting the ball al his net Latham played we'll at guard Sotock was substituted for Moughon and despite the handicap of slightly strained elbow he played wonderful game. Lauehinshouse played well ir the second half.
 After the game dance was held and everybody enjoyed themselves. to use the expression. The Illinois Athletic club heavyweight quintet will play the B. A. c. team here Friday January ?.
