CAUSE AND EFFECT.

whenever you cease to reason, you
cease to be human. I do not think any
thing of any one. who speaks before
he thinks. Any man, who does not take
time to weigh his words before
speaking them is of no use. We can
speak from experience. The Jews re
tained prejudice and stopped reason
ing. Prejudice will eventually bring
death. If any man allows prejudice to
harbor in his mind. he will ultimately
become murderer When people will
not hear the truth, they are in bad
fly

CHURCH REGISTRATION

AS we entered, there was some COM
motion, because one of the leading
members could not get by the usher
at the door, the cause of which we
could not ascertain. Rev. Brown in
structed that all questions would be
settled in one of the adjoining rooms
and order at once prevailed. Clerk N.
W. Bouldin made a statement about
registration and announced that some
of the best working members of the
church did not seem to understand
that they should register. There were
some HOO. who had not complied with
the rule of the church and who would
not be recognized as members unless
thew did.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE.

| D.. Miller was outspoken as to his
oninion of President Calvin Coolidee
and those associated with him. de
wanted to know about Hon. G. -Bascom
Slemn and his attitude towards the
colored people and Editor Mitchell pro
ceeded to enlighten him. Then the two
walked to the Planet Office, Mr.. Grant
having retired. From there, the couple
went TO Hotel BiItmore where DR.. Mil
Ter had secured accommodations. Mrs.
Drewitt was there The meeting at the
True Reformers Hall was a success.
Mr.. B. l. Jordan was master or cere-
monies and Nelson Williams, Jr., A.
M introduced the speaker. Excellent
musical selections were rendered Dy
the double quartet from the Virginia
Union University.
Editor Mitchell had assigned Mr..
Chester l.. Washington, stenographer'
the task of reporting the meeting. II
is as follows.
Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
I want to thank my good friend for
his very flattering words OF lntroduc'
ton which, of course, are not true. III
troductory remarks are not true-they
would not be interesting il they were
true.
"I am advertised to speak to you to-
night on the Negro Sanhedrin. Tue
term Sanhedrin is a Jewish Councll
that passed upon the weighty matters
which concerned the Jewish nation
throughout the world. You might ask
why such a forgotten term was dug up
out of the musty records OF Jewish
annals to apply to the situation of the
Negro Of the United States at this
time.
NAPoLEON's EXPRESSION.
"In thinking of a suitable designa-
tion for the movement which had IN
mind, I ran across the experience OF
, Napoleon Bonaparte in the early part
of the last century, about 1906, who
found that the Jews throughout
France were in strained relationship
to the Gentle world; the same as the
Negro peoples are at strained rela'
tionship to the white race in this coun'
try today.
THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES.
Napoleon Bonaparte called the San
hedrin of the leaders all over his do
minion and requested them to work
out some relationship between the
Jews and the Gentle world, which he
did, and that formula which Napoleon
called his Sanhedrin worked out by
Napoleon has characterized that rela-
ton of the Jewish and the Gentle
world from that day to this.
THE GREATEST STRUGGLE.
1--WE can all readily understand that
the world has passed through the
greatest struggle in the history Of man
kind and that the only worthwhile re-
suit of this great struggle has been
the stimulation on the part of the sup
pressed groups all over the world
Woodrow Wilson was great states
man. He had world of understanding
and he early seized upon the kernel Of
THE World War and that is it is to be
war for selfdetermination, for the
smothered and, suppressed groups all
over the world. AS result of this war,
we have for example, the Irish people
who have clearly shown their self-de-
termination against the Anglo-Saxons.

in his quiet way announced his teri as
Matt. 27:23; What Shall Do With
Jesus, Which is Called the Christ?"
His subject was: The Worlds Great
est Question.
MANY QUESTIONS.
1--WE have many questions confront
ing us today along many lines. AS we
pick VI the newspapers, we find that
the world is battling with the greatest
question with which it has ever beel
confronted. But the question PROFOUND
ed by Plate is still the worlds greatest
question. This is the wonderful ques-
ton. The one we must answer. Jesus
had two outstanding reasons for com
ing into the world. One is to teach
the world brotherly love. There is moth
ing else that will take its place.
THAT SECOND REASON,
THE second reason was to teach
the world human kindness. 1t means so

agricultural country paying whatever
prices for manufactured goods Great
Britain demanded.
Mr. Bryan, in this same speech, the
following colloquy occurred:
Mr.. Raines, of New York: Three
months ago there was not a gentle
man on that side of the House who
would admit that there was or would
be a tin-plate factory in the United
States"
Mr.. Bryan: I'VE will not admit it
today sir"
Mr.. Raines: "The majority of the
Committee on Ways and Means, in
its report (Which you, Mr.. Bryan
signed), says that it is impossible to
tell to what degree the tariff does af-
feet the increase or the reduction in
the price of an article"
Mr. Bryan evaded this point.
Thus Mr.. Bryan's statement that the
1922 tariff taxes" the American
consumers $4,000, 100000 every year
is met with Mr. Bryan's own admis-
sion in 1892 that it is impossible to
ascertain whether a tariff raises or
lowers prices of domestic goods.

The result is that the government is
losing about $5O,OOO,OO0 a year.
Had fixed policy of government
aid to American vessels been followed
from 1870 to 1912, the United States
would have today a fleet of vessels
strong enough to compete with the
world.
Today the American vessels engaged
in the foreign trade do not carry
more of our imports and exports
simply because they can not, unaid-
ed, compete with foreign vessels re-
ceiving government aid and operated
cheaper than American vessels.
The United States has no merchant
marine policy, largely because of the
sinister opposition of most of the
Democrats in Congress to a broad ma
tional program of some sort of gov
ernment aid.

GOVERNOR
IS ELECTED IN MAINE

Maine, in its election Monday. went
Republican by majority of more
than 10000, electing Ralph O. Brewst-
er over w. R. Pattengall, Democratic
candidate for governor on the anti
Klan ticket Brewster was nominated
by the Republicans in one of the
closest primaries ever held in the
state. 1t was declared that it was the
Klan vote that nominated him.
Republican leaders repeatedly de-
clared that Mr.. Brewster is not allied
with the Klan and he has himself de
clared that the election was a straight
partisan contest and that the only
issues were the normal ones between
the Republicans and Democrats.
Republicans in the state also elect
ed one United States senator. four
congressman, and a majority Of the
state and county officers. Maine is
normally Republican state.

AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE

Washington, D. C.-Many friends of
an American merchant marine are
reading with amusement the portion Of
the Democratic platform adopted in
New York City as follows I'VE de-
clare for an American-owned merchant
marine. American-built and manned
by American crews, which is essential
for naval security in war, and is a
protection to the American farmer and
manufacturer against excessive ocean
freight charges on products of farm
and factory"
This sounds strange in the light OF
history since about 1870 when the
first efforts were made to promote and
build up an American erchant ma
rine.
The Democratic party, as a party,
with few exceptions, opposed every
efforts of the friends of American ship
ping to revive American ships engaged
in the ocean-carrying trade.
From the days OF Senator Frye, OF
Maine, and Senator Elkins, OF West
Virginia, the Democrats have fought
all tllOILS " give american Sllp6 ut-
cent compensation for carrying the
United States mails. They fought
every effort to protect American yes
sells in the foreign trade. either by a
subsidy or discriminating tariff.
From the close OF the Civil War un-
til about 1912, the amount OF ocean
freight carried by American vessels
dwindled steadily, because the Demo
Gratis. principally in the West, refused
to protect American vessels on high
seas. where they came in competition
with all kinds OF foreign vessels, most
OF them assisted by their home gov
ernments.
As a result OF this policy when the
World War broke out the United
States found itself short of suitable
vessels. When the United States en-.
tered the war in 1917. the United
States Cthe Democratic administra.
tom was panic-stricken because OF
the shortage OF vessels. Most Of the
American troops sent to Europe went
on British ships.
! o remedy Lne ueItCLS tneE mad
caused, the Democrats started a fe-
yerish ship-building campaign and gov.
ernment-ownership plan. which cost
the government about $4,000, ,OOO. 900.
The Democratic shipping program OF
1915 to 1919 was one of the big scand.
ais Of the World War
When the war was oyer and the
Republicans came into power, one OF
the big jobs was to salvage the wreck
Of the Democratic ship-building pro
gram. 1t was a bad and big job.
Most OF the ships were sold for a song
or for junk The United States-that
is, the Harding Coolidge administra.
tion-has not yet recovered from this
Democratic mess.
The Democratic experiment of gov.
eminent ownership and operation OF
ships in the foreign trade has proved
failure. The Democrats refuse to
aid private capital either with a sub.
! sidy or with a discriminating tariff
