REACTIONS IN AFRICA.

Even worm will turn and lashingly con-
tend for its rights. Thus are certain tribes
of West and South Africa, particularly those
under English rule. who feel that their Lord
Paramount has not dealt justly with them, be-
ginning to protest against what they assert is
an era of injustice, botr mild and marked.
Their protests were first mere frowns; but as
civilization has slowly crept into their midst
they have begun to follow in the footsteps OF
others whom civilization has wrought into
chatting people seeking light, wisdom and
equity.
Native labor has but sulenly accepted the
labor conditions and wages set up by English
overseers and employers. Frequently, farm
lands have gone to waste under the idle hands
of African labor which has become thoroughly
awakened to the JOY and the sorrows of the
new industrial day So apathetic have become
certain African laborers working under En-
glish rule that one of the English governors
made trip through several colonies, eXhor:
ing labor to go to the post and endeavorlns
to paint roseate pictures of wages and condi
lions of labor, hoping to stimulate greater
interest. and stauncher loyalty. World
civilization, though, is making itself felt even
in West and South Africa, whose natives

NEGRO BUSINESS YEAR.

Negro business year is, as ever before. in Our
midst plaintively seeking permanent develop.
ment The druggist who did well this year
hopes to do better next year. The bootblack
who performed ten thousand shines this year
wants to hang up a new record next year.
The butcher. the baker, and the candlestick
maker are pining for heavy dividends next
year. Every proprietor in Negro business,
from banker to near beer bars, is like little
Oliver Twist, asking for more-but not every
one has pledged himself to give more-lnore
goods better goods an! more servic,. in return

Nowhere in life is reciprocity as helpful or

THE "IRONY OF FATE.

1T SEEMS TO BE the irony of
fate" that a delegation from the
Universal Negro Improvement Asso-
citation should appeal to the Presi-
dent OF the United States to have him
intercede with the Liberian Govern
ment to the end that Negro emigrants
from this country shall be admitted
to an African Republic established
for that purpose. It.may be that we
are mistaken, but our understanding
was that President King denied entry
to Negroes shipped by that organiza
ton. while welcoming any others,
who came on their own volition and
with sufficient funds to ensure their
upkeep in that particular part of the
Masters vineyard.
Then again, this organization
claims that an agreement had with
the officers of that organization was
nullifed. At first blush, it looks as
though President Marcus Garveys
followers are in the category of "a
man without country. They do
not recognize as binding their allen
glance to this country and they are
barred from their father-land, so to
speak, where they have a right to
expect to be received with open arms.
