SENATOR KING URGES MA
RINES FROM HAITI

Washington, D. C.-Haiti persists
in being one Of the big issues before
the government. Some say it is ths
purpose Of the United States to event
ually absorb all West Indian Island
possessions, including Cuba.
Capt Napoleon b. Marshall. our
only racial representatives in Haiti
according to information reaching
here, is to receive promotion.
Senator Kings resolution follows:
Whereas the relations between the
United States and the Republic Of
Haiti, have assumed a condition which
is unsatisfactory to the inhabitants Of
said countries and otherwise disad-
vantageous to the United States,
which condition is due in large meas
ure to the presence Of the naval
forces of the United States in said
country and the exercise by the United
States Of the control Of the finances
and revenues of said country; and

BY VIM. Anthony Aery

Hampton, Va.-Colored citizens OF
Hampton, Phoebus and adjacent terri
tory held exercises in Ogden Hall,
Hampton Institute, to commemorate
the sixty-hrst anniversary Of the
Emanciation Proclamation.
Sergt. George Holland, president oi
the local Emancipation Association,
served as master Of ccrmonies. He
stated that it is the purpose Of this
association to keep alive the story Of
the sacrifices which have been made
possible the opportunities Of the pres
ent-day Negro. He also stated that
Negroes are everywhere taking ad-
vantage Of the opportunities which
are offered them.
He introduced DR. James E. Gregg,
principal Of Hampton Institute, who
declared that the emancipation was
more than a political event "Eman-
cipation," ne said, 'has meant free
dom Of citizenship, deIiverance from
ignorance, religious freedom, and a
freedom Of heart, mind and soul, as
well as Of body"

nances, and the police Of the same
by the United States Naval forces has
been accomplished, and there is no
further advantage either to the United
States or said country from any con
tinued Intervention in its affairs: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
the Senate Of the United States that
the President should withdraw the
naval forces Of the U. s. now in Haiti
and should arrange an abrogation Of
any treaty, protocol or other agree
ment providing for the. control Of the
revenues Of Haiti BY the United States,
or providing for the Intervention Or
the United States in the political al
fairs of said country, and that IL is the
sense of the Senate that Haiti should
be free from any external interference
with its domestic policies of internal

HAMPTON SENIORS UNVEIL
MOTTO.

Hampton, Va, Jan. IAN efficient
life based on high thoughts and noble
deeds" is the motto which has been
adopted by the Hampton Institute
senior class. This motto was dedi-
Gated on Emancipation Day with ap-
propriate exercises, which were held
in Ogden Hall. Herbert Harwick Of
Savannah, Ga, president for several
years Of the 1924 class, declared that
altruistic thinking leads people from
the stage where the individual pre-
dominates to the stage where the good
Of the group is the important factor.
He stated that real nobleness is
shown by men and women through
their daily kindness to others. The
program included the singing of the
senior class song and the planting Of
a mimosa as a class tree.
pr. James z. Gregg. principal Of
Hampton Institute, declared that high

Last Friday evening a great meeting
was held at the Wendell Phillips High
School in the interest Of the Republi-
can Presidential candidacy of Hon.
Hiram Johnson, United States senator
from California. Long before Senator
Johnson arrived the building was
packed from end to end with both
white and colored people, both men
and women, who were just crazy to
hear him.
Prior to his arrival the meeting at
great length was addressed by Col.
James Hale Porter, Rev. James Gar
field Walker and by Col. Abbott
whom they say is already, pledged to
support President Calvin Coolidge for
so much cold cash and it is further
contended that he is also lined up with
Senator Mccormick, even if he did
absolutely refuse to vote in favor OF
the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the
United State Senate.
Col. Archibald N. Fields very ably
presided over the great meeting and
Col. James T. Brewington was its gen.
eral manager and he managed to load
the platform down with prominent per-
sonages of both races, both ladies and
gentlemen, including all the leading
politicians.
Col. Fields in a few well-chosen
words presented Senator Johnson to
the vast audience, which sprang to its
feet as if BY magic and cheered him
for fully FIVE minutes as he rose to
speak.
Senator Johnson is a most wonderful
speaker and every word he utters sinks
down deep into the marrow Of his
hearers. He let it be known during
the course Of his talk that he is not
IN favor of this country or government
selling arms or other supplies to the
Oregon forces Of Mexico.
Our action in Mexico is immoral
if not illegal" Senator johnson said
What a departure from the policy
America has ever pursued What an
anomalous and paradoxical position y
ours today, we who were born in reyo-
luton.
The United States government says
to the people inhabiting this continent;
If you dare fight for what you deem
to be right, if you raise your hands
against oppression or wrong, the most
powerful nation in the world, its gene
sis, armed resistance, viii come to the
aid Of those you think your oppressors
and will maintain existing power.
Calls Administration Reactionary
Without invidious intent, but as in
dicating a different philosophy Of gov
ernment, have characterized the pres
ent administration as reactionary.

Senator Johnson told his hearers
that the bonus should be voted and
given to our World War soldiers.
Contrast the $50 per month re-
ceived by the soldier during the war
with what those at home made during
that period" said the senator. "Oh,
ye business men, who protest against
recognition Of the soldiers now, re-
member your attitude then.
"Not only was the principle of ad-
iusted compensation recognized by our
government, but the government, dur
ing the war and some months there
after, actually paid bonus to its
civilian employees. Certain Of the great
captains of industry, whose incomes
are beyond the dreams Of avarice Of
the ordinary man, prate and prate
about commercialized patriotism.
Wants Them to Keep Silent
"When these gentlemen have paid
back into the treasury Of the United
States the profits they made during the
war they may be heard about CONNER
cialized patriotism, but until that day
arrives let them keep silent on the pitt
ful sum that is asked by the men who
sheltered them and their business and
enabled them to make their unholy
profits.
"And remember this adjusted COM
pensation bill can be passed and the
sums due under it paid by the govern
ment and taxes reduced, too"
Senator johnson then went into the
tax situation and contended that the
Mellon plan worked in favor Of the
man with large income. He said that
there were 100000 people WHO pay
taxes ON incomes Of less than $4,000,
while $4,000 pay taxes on incomes OF
more than $4,000.
Huge Saving to Rich
He gave figures to show that men
who paid on incomes from S25O,0OO
70 $4,000 would save amounts rang
ipg from $4,000 TO $l,530,0O0 under
the Mellon plan.
Senator Johnson takes no stock in
the League Of Nations and the so-
called World Court, which is invested
with no power to force nor to compel
anv Of the fighting and wrangiing ma
lions Of the Old World TO submit their
homes Of contention to the World
Court and he firmly believes that i
will be ten million times better for this
country and its people Ii all parties
concerned viii never be mixed up in
tbe affairs Of the Old World
Senator Johnson also stated that he
was in favor Of the passage OF the
Over Anti-Lynching Bill BY the United
States Senate.

into them, will give, as Mr.. Kerlin
says, new vision and new appre-
citation Of the spirit and purpose Of the
colored race.
Seventy-three poets are represented
in this volume, from Phyllis WheatIey
to Georgia Douglas Johnson, from
Jupiter Harmon to Claude Mckay.
The book is well illustrated with
photographs Of some of Meta War
wick Fuller's noble sculpture, and with
pictures OF thirty-eight of the poets
though how some Of these men and
women could send such unfattering
photographs Of themselves it is hard
to understand. There are eight chap
tiers starting with the very early verse
of the spirituals and the folk songs,
the latter made accessible to us
through the collection of Talley and
Blades, next taking up the first formal
poets, Phyllis Wheatley, Horton,
Frances Harper, and then continuing
toiffie free verse of Razafkeriefe Lang
ston Hughes and Anne Spencer. Each
poet is introduced by Mr. Kerlin with
some biographical word and an ap-
preciative line regarding the poem or
poems chosen by the collector. There
is also an index of authors with short
biographical notes. The book is pains
takingly put together by a careful
scholar.
1t would be foolish to pass judg-
ment on the poetry in this volume. AS
the words ! have quoted at the begin
ming Of this review show, the book is
a poetic voice Of protest, a spiritual
cry that white southerner lovingly
and appreciatively gathers together
and puts before us. It is book for
the white man to read and gain there
by in sympathy. The colored reader
will miss some names, that of Countee
Cullen for instance, but he must re-
member that this is a collection pri-
marily Of spiritual protest, secondarily
of excellent verse. And he will have
reason to be proud of the many beau
tiful lines and verses gathered for him
here, to be kept in permanent form.

action from the living.
