We have never been able to fully
realize and understand the animus be
hind tho prosecution Of Roscoe G.. Ar.
buckle in San Francisco and Tex Rick
ard in New York. The justification In
law for either prosecution has always
been puzzle to us, save upon tile
theory that the same way that colorel
folks have been treated, the same way
white folks are being treated now. You
cannot practice injustice upon colored
folks without ultimately inflicting tire
same kind Of treatment upon white
folks as we'll. To charge Arbuckle with
murder when he was in one Of his
drunken sprees and upon woman
against whom he had no malice was
ridiculous, just as the prosecution u:
Tex Richard in New York for being in
innate with n street-walker woman.
who had already been ruined was the
height of absurdity. IF in either case,
he had led to a life of dcpravity and
crime an innocent girl, the situation
would have been different, but to bring
such charges in Partisan New York
was enough to make marble statue

TROUBLE IN THE EAST.

The meeting OF the Allied Nations
n: Genoa, Italy has been subiec. Of
much comment and the conflicting III
tercsts have clashed many times. The
FRENCH who are naturally hot-headeh
at first were TO participate in the gath
erIng but later decided to be represent
Ell. Then came the question Of admit
ing German yand Russia. The whole
disagreement is over money. 1t seems
that the Russian Government under
the late Car Nicholas borrowed much
money from France, England and some
other countries. When the revolution
came rne Bolschevists refused to recog
nize these obligations and proceeded
to use all of tire money in sight to sup
port the new regime.
They openly declared that they
would repud:ate the obligations Of the
Gear Government, that is, they woull
not pay either the principle or the in
terest. This led to acrimonious discus
sion and a REFUSAL Of the Allies
to recognize Russia. AS the Rus
sian trade is considerable and
the profits enormous, it was
very desirable that friendly relations
between that country BIO resumed.
Then came tire Genoa Economic Con-
ference, to which the Russian Govern
ment as organized by Lenine and his
associates we're recognized with the I'm
|derstanding that that Government
would recognize as valid the debts Of
the Gear Government. It was evident
ly limited, IL not stated that Russia
could there present her hill against

THE TROUBLE IN IRELAND

The. war-like conditions in Ireland
and in India are now attracting the at
tention Of the civilized world. Ireland
Is now confronted with civil war al
most as terrible as the one, which hay
been raging between tire Irish and tho
British. Now, they are cutting each
others throats" with Great Britain as
an interested observer. Can she afford
to permit this slaughter at her very
doors? Ulster or northern Ireland is
loyal to the mother country. She must
help the Irish Free State in the South
and Ulster III the North.
This should bring solution to the
situation in time, but it will take a
long time to curb assassination and to
eliminate murder, when the Irish III
the United States are permitted to
furnish the money and to pay the
men, who arc successfully stirring up
rebellion against the present day
condition Of affairs.
THE recent elections held would
seem to indicate that the country is
neither ready nor willing to return thu
Democratic Party to power. It's cri.i.

AFislCA'S REDEMPTION

Our dim has been to bring order out
OF confusion, to bring about cond;-
ton that will preclude the fractional
disputes and animositics, which ara
now raging between the brain:cst col
orod leaders in this country. We hal
tho pleasure recently to visit Liberty
Hall. expecting to remain few min
utes, but found out that our time hal
been practically Communicated for an
hour or more. These people have en-
brnccd Garvcy!sm with a zeal that is
commendablc and they are carrying
out his teachings with an energy,
which is phenomenal. Abuse Of him
has tended to intensity this feeling,
just as It has done In the case of all
other leaders since the foundation Of
the world.
We note 1t in the. case Of Eugene V.
Debs, whose incarceration in the At
lanta Penitentiary by powers inimical
to his doctrines and teachings made !,
veritable martyr Of him and intensi-
fled the love and affection of this class
OF people for their truly great leader.
We should live in a tolerant age.
While we do not belong to n certain
class or organization, this class or or.
ganiZation should be permitted 30 pur
sue its outlined course in peace. This
has been our position with reference
to this great African movement, lc,, by
the Hon. Marcus Garvey and some of
the ah!est coiored men, known as Ne,
grocs in this country.
1t Is indeed hNmiliating though TO
those Of us, who are affiliated with tho
black race that it is necessary to ~.
deem Africa from tho alleged Caucus
ian yoke. AS matter of fact, this can
only be done by the Africans them
selves. Civilizing influences and G
bringing Of these people to a sense and
realization Of their power will do more
to accomplish this result than any
thing else. AS we understand it, the uG
vocates Of this movement are bringing
TINS about in this country and by d:
rect and reflex action they bone "a
arouse the natives to n realizing sense
Of their condition.
Just now, with the conclusion Of tho
world War, the civilized world IS to n
large extent helpless. but as to mon
and money. This would have been the
proper time to effect the change. but It
cannot he done satisfa ctorially unless
all parties combine in all effort to
make Africa truly free. The civilized
nations have been ruling by the swor.l,
but they are now favoring sheathing
it In the scabbard. What does the Hon.
Marcus Garvey propose to do? Will he
adopt the policy Of Gnndhi in India or
Will he advocate that the natives riso
In their might and throw off the ycko
Of oppression?
1t Is needless to say that there arc
thousands, yea millions Of Africans,
who never heard Of a white man, and
who have never rs yet been subjected
to the yoke OF oppression. It Is an in
teresting question. Marcus Garvey
may be building better than no
knew" Is tho charge in the United
States Court in New York, the beginn.
ing Of a movement to discipline him
and to lessen his influence here and
IN the other countries Of the World?
We shall see. We arc a believer in tho
declaration Of learned writer, WREN
he said:
WHO would be free, himself must
strike the blow!"
