CAN'T WHIP THE WORLD

Thls can not be done by you al
going to Africa to try to whip the
whole world Oh an empty stomach and
without arms. If you can do so much
III Africa why go SO far why not give
the lynchers so at home and wiz
the approvals. Of the world. It Is natur
al that tho Africans will abet any
thing you say, as long as you stay In
America and send them money: but
when you start there two Or three mil
lions strong why they will even cali
upon the snakes and other wild beasts
to help them guard their coasts. And
they will he doing right too.
Now Mr.. Mitchell, you either know
That such game is not practical or
you have failed to give it a thought
would you like to see all the Negroes
in tho world coming to live in the U
5. OF A.? and challange all the white
world for a fight? Talk truth: tho
GarVey game Is altogether too good!
Du Bois may have been greatly wrong
but he Is closer to reason nowaday.
You also know that you would not 10
to Africa with Garvey upon any such
terms even If tho white people offered
you free transportation. So why not
defend the right; like a good little edi
tor? Why not help to advise Mr.. Gar.
vey as to what is right and what Is
not? Ask him to make money without
making fool Of all American Ne.
groes? For Gods sake do not become
party to the hood-winking Of ignor.
ant coloured Americans; for they Ger
talnly have enough Of that done By
others. The great trouble with the
coloured race, their is not enough pub.
Tic spirit and too much ayariciousness
among them; too many who only look
for personal gain. That is just what
put the black race into it's present con
ditlon. You can not get very far that
way. 1t has been proven that flat foat
ed righteousness has ever been the
safest policy. God, helps the devil
some times; just as fisherman somo
times gives much meat to the fish.
The fish will pay it all back some day,
l am not in the u. S. Of A., but I feel
your pains much keener than many of
you know how to.
Negrohs make or provo themselves
Interiors, by ever trying to dodge the
main issues Of life.
We must prove our religion by cur
works; and not alone by words. When
we have done we'll for our own, eyery
body wants to be one Of us and Is viii,
ing to conform. to our religion.
Even now, Brazil as we'll as other
countries are anxious to have Ger.
mans and Austrians emigrate to their
countries. AS Wilson said in his war
speeches: we are not fighting tho
German people; but tho Emperor 1t
was because that they are the most
thrifty and scientific people in the
world.
Brazil, nor any other country will
put bar against commercial and pro
fessional business peoples, when threw
are known to be such In their own
country. Your crowd which came to
Brazil last year made very bad i'm.
preston.
Tho coloured people in the u. S. OF
A., have the opportunities of q cen.
tury In their hands to create their OWL
industries and build up commercial
enterprises oven with tho foreign mar
kets. People like to serve God, when
God has served them with the needs
or life. Instead of spending 500 much
money for missionary purposes, it
would be we'll for tho American col.
CURED people to begin to train their
young people with up,to,date indus
trial and commercial professions and
send them out to make money.
The same hopes, the same expects
lions and the same encouragement
for the coloured child, as for the white
one. And when they do wrong, the
Same correction.
