Giving Advice

I've lived next door to B. H. Barr
since Liza crossed the ice, and our
affection naught could mara thing
beyond all price; and when he
planned to buy a car he asked for
my advice. THE Roorback car is
what you need" said.~ .~and meant
il all; "it has the pep, it has the
speed, its upkeep cost is small; since
you have asked me for my rede, the
Roorback has the call" He bought
Roorback car that day. nor
grumbled at the cost; and now he
stops me on my way to tell me m
a frost; it is no good. that blamed
old dray, from bumper to exhaust.
1t is a pitfall and snare, it has no
pep or kick; some day it wallows
everywhere just makes his spirit
sick: some day. he says. he will get
square. and pay me for that trick.
We have no pleasant visits now,
when dusk is all around. hut gloom
is throned upon his brow, his laughs
do not resound, and often he i'm
pounds my COW, and kicks my price
less hound. He works around his
busted bus. and shakes his fist at
me. and often | can hear him cuss
in lingoes five or three. and as he
tolls amid the muss his wrath is
sad to see. Oh. never more shall
| advise the man who'd buy boat;
let other self-complacent guys
themselves to that devote, let
other neighbors put him wise and
sound the helpful note.

Haitians and Ameri-
can Negroes

American Negroes can find in Haiti
a Negro country close at hand with an
attractive civilization different from
their own. And, if they will take the
trouble to show their sympathy with
Haitians, they may discover field
for the expansion of the rapidly grow
ing Negro business in this country. In
insurance, for instance, Haiti offers
an almost virgin field. Transports
tion is still in a rather crude state.
And though the country is primarily
agricultural, agriculture and it's allied
interests are in an almost primitive
condition. Almost any improvement in
agricultural production which the prac-
tically trained American Negro could

Klan Warns Squire
for Mixed Marriage
Magistrate Marked Man"
After Uniting White
Woman and Her Dark
Skinned Lover

Lebanon, Pa, Aug. 9.-Robert l..
Miller, city magistrate and alderman
in the Fourth ward, last week received
Ku Klux Klan warning in the form
of visit by two strangers. They told
him they were from Harrisburg and
questioned him about his performance
of marriage ceremony on June 2S,
in which the principals were James r.
Johnson, cOlOred, and Miss Mary C.
Patterson, white, both of Harrisburg.
The couple got a marriage license
here after Clerk Strauss was confront
ed with the fact that there is nothing
in the PENNSYLVANIA statutes forbidding
the marriage of whites and Negroes.
First the couple asked Presbyterian
minister to perform the ceremony, but
he refused. They next tried Alderman
Miller, who consented after satisfying
himself that it was legal.
Declaring that Alderman Miller
would be marked when he comes up
for reelection, the strangers left a
card bearing the inscription, "The Ku
hluX Klan are here, there and every
where. If you are interested, address

Peace Plan
Award

The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, SO Fifth
Avenue, New York City, is one of the
organizations cooperating with the
Policy Committee of the American
Committee of the American Peace
Award, and today forwarded a sum-
mary of the conditions governing the
allotment of the 100000 prize estab-
lished by Mr. Edward w. Box.
The Award consists of one prize of
$1,000 each, half of each prize to be
paid when the winning peace plan is
chosen by the committee, the other
half if and when the plan is adopted
by the United States Senate.
The winning plan must enable the
United States to do its share toward
preserving world peace without COM
mitting this country to participation
in any foreign war.
The total number of words allowed
for any plan is not to exceed 1000. A
summary of not exceeding 500 words
must accompany every plan. Each
contestant may submit one plan only.
Manuscripts must be typewriter on
one side of paper only, not rolled.
They should not be accompanied by
letters, must not be signed. Each man.
uscript must have attached to it a
plain sealed envelope containing the
name and address of the author.
All plans must be in the hands of

make would be welcomed Well
trained, English-speaking Negroes from
neighboring islands appear to find
Haiti an attractive field.
At least two Negro church organ
izations of America have already
undertaken educational work in Haiti.
Their efforts should be increased and
the work made more effective. Other
societies may find here also inviting
fields of helpful, disinterested service.
1t might be possible, too, for the
Negroes of this country to enlist the
interest of some of the great philan-
thropic bodies of America in work in
Haiti. There is urgent need for large,
well-organized, systematic work in
practical education and especially in
sanitation and health such as only the
great philanthropic boards could
handle effectively.-W. L. b. Williams

Garvey Entitled
to Bail, Claim
of His Attorneys

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 9.-Con-
corning bail for Marcus Garvey, Henry
L. Johnson, who with VIM. C. Mat
thews of Boston is retained now as
attorney. says
BY every rule of law and reason,
Marcus Garvey is entitled to bail pend
ing his appeal to Circuit Court of Ap-
peals for the reversal of Judgment of
the District Court convicting him.
THE denial of bail to Marcus Garvey
was in largest measure produced by
the admission of Illegal testimony;
that is to say, the district attorney
produced allegations that Garvey's or
ganization had an arsenal and weapons
for offense and that directly or indi-
rectly his sympathizers had engaged
in divers threats upon the lives of the
trial judge and the district attorney.
None of this was proved but was
allowed to go,in.
Emma Goldman was admitted to
bail on a far more serious offense than
Garvey's conviction. Big Bill Haywood
was admitted to bail, and there is no
earthly comparison between the thing
for which Garvey was convicted and
the enormity of the charge against
Bill Haywood.
In my judgment, the denial of bail
to Garvey in the circumstance is far
more dangerous than all the crimes
ever charged against Marcus Garvey."

triumph means equal justice and equal

Upon receipt of the report that Di-

of Tuskegee Hospital for Colored Vet
Grams, and two white assistants, the
remainder of the staff to be colored,

of Negroes.
"On behalf of the National Associa-

this report is correct. We are espe-
cially anxious to secure TINS lnfor1na-
