THE CONVICTION OF CARNEY.

Ire conviction of Hon. Marcus
Garvey upon the nominal charge oil
using the United States mails to de-
fraud was no surprise to us. His in.
generation in Jail in this country
had already been preordained He lie :
movement which has attracted the
attention of the nations OF work.
aud all such movements carry with
them persecution and punishment
Ghandi in. India is now in Jail Leop
7! otzski. the controlling power today
of Russia was in Jail in this country
Garvey made enemies within ana
without and he estranged hundreds OF
his own followers. who in turn testt-
fed against him.
He has laid the ground work Of a
great scheme. which will no doubt b.
taken up by his followers He couI!
not tolerate opposition and he was u
fighter. both Of bis friends and hts
enemies. A trap was set for him AMI
into 1t he fell. He is remarkable
character and the probabilities are
that some successor may be found who
will avoid the mistakes he made. Tbs
severity Of the punishment melted to
him is all out Of proportion to the IA
legged charge against him. The ground
work has been laid for his deportatiot.
which is the primary purpose Of his
p osecution. We doubt IL we shall
ever gaze upon his like again.

judge Rogers wanted to know :,
Nj rcus Garvey WAS granted bali
wcold he flee the country? The rep,y
was in the negative. His leaving this
country 5 just what his enemies and
tn. country most desire. Grant him
BAH by all means and give him an OPP
portInity to relieve all parties of am
further anxiety. With Garvey out of
the country. it may he we shall have
peace for while from those. who are
bitterly assa.linS him.

out that the judges OF the country are
netting jail sentences. not only to the
