preme Court yesterday assailng that
part of the prohibition law limiting

sician, who won in the Federal Dis

resolution of 1917, which had been
made the basis for the Court Of Ap-
peals action. had been adopted in 1917,
had been repudiated in 1921 and 1922,
and was not in harmony with the
resolutions adopted III 1924.

can expedition, and with partial sue
cess, to bring about some sort OF
order in Haiti" she says. But what
sort OF order? And whose? The facts
are that u. S. warships sailed into the
harbor and marines occupied the city,
to force upon the Haitian government
an unwanted loan" of $14,000,000
from the National City Bank-and on
such terms that the Haitians would
actually get one one and half mil
lions, the rest being eaten up in bank
ers' commissions or applied to old
claims. The Negro republic Of Haiti
is an epic Of credit to the black race
and of shame to the white. Here is at
least one slave class that struck blow
after blow for freedom, and the great
black rebel, Toussaint POyerture, gave
his people the right idea when he told
them: "Your muskets are your lib
erty." Unfortunately, his estimate of
the white masters honor" was not
quite low enough, and he permitted
himself to be trapped under flag Of
truce.
The prattle shout the "half million
years spent by Nature to push the star
OF the white race forward and up
ward" is rather more poetic than
scientifically" accurate. 1t is true
that the European whites have devel-
oped, during a certain period, greater
economic and military power than
have the African blacks. But the very
process of development that brought
about their dominance now goes on
to destroy it, European industry de-
ponds for its very life-breath upon the
raw materials and markets of the
colonial lands, and this process, this
desperate race for markets and raw
materials in turn developes new indus
trial competitors in the erstwhile
market countries, new self-conscious
native bourgeoisie and new revolu-
tionary colonial proletariat.
The Florida lady does not know her
own problem. 1t is not as though ten
per cent of the Germans had black
skins; no, the Negro population is so
concentrated that in two states they
constitute more than majority of the
population, and in seven more only a
slightly smaller proportion. In this
"solid South" the Negroes have for
three centuries done practically all the

more and more into the role of para
sites. When she speaks Of ''inciting
the Negroes against the American
world" she, Of course, refers to her
white parasitic world.
She tries to tell us that 'aThe Amer

ively!" AS far back as 1861 they
passed laws in the South to fog white
men and enslave white women who
mated with Negroes. These remedies
were rather obviously inadequate. We
find cases recorded in which clergy
men were fined for performing mixed
marriage ceremonies. Far from in
stinctive aversion menacing the South
ern masters position, it was from the
opposite quarter that they feared the
wind.

with interest that the Southern lady
is apprehensive lest the new econ
omy' waste its time with propaganda
that in her judgment would harm the
Negroes. When the South took up
arms to smash the United States
rather than give up unlimited power
over their slaves, of course they did
it for the good of the blacks. But it
was not the Communists who 1ured
the black workers away from the star
walton of the cotton fields and into the
industrial cities of the North-and Of
the new South. This was done by
capitalist enterprises. Again capital
ism shows how it digs its own grave.
These Negro proletarians in the man.
ufacturing cities are a potential revo-
lutionary factor that win have to be
reckoned with. And the millions Of
Negro peasants are also FESTIVE. The
gentle Southern lady probably likes
capital all right, since it brings Hell
deIberg to those on top, but she can't
have her capitalism without its inevi-
table consequences-in this case an
awakening Negro working class crop
ing its way toward the proletarian
revolution.

How It Started
CALLING IT A "FUNERAL"
By JEAN NEWTON

IN ALL modern languages there are
certain words whose meaning is in
dictated by their sound This principle,
which in rhetorical parlance we call
onomatopea, is exemplifed in words
like buss, hiss, slap, boom; also in the
words funeral, funereal where sound
so agrees with their sentiment that
we naturally assume that their etymol-
ogy is in accordance with the meaning
they convey.
But we find the last have a curious
derivation that takes a story to bring
out its relation to their use today.
The Romans, pagans that they were,
buried their dead at nightly the
light Of the moon when they could.
But as there was moonlight for only
a short period in the year, they used
torches, which were the lighting sys-
tenn of the day. The Latin word for
torch is funis, from which they had
funerals, torchlight procession. And
not from corpse or death" or
mourn comes the word funeral, but
from "torchlight procession"

TT YOU should accidentally upset a
A box. cup or other receptacle con-
tanning pins; and if all the pins spill
out, be prepared for quarreling with
your friends or family, perhaps los
ing your job. But should the pins
not all spill out should even one pin
remain in the receptacle then you
may be assured Of continuous paying
employment-you need not fear los
ing your job quarreling. This com
mon superstition is one Of several re-
Iating to pins. and is as old as pins
themselves. In fact it Is older, for it
is but a variation Of the binding"
idea and must have attached itself to
whatever our ancestors used for PIN
ming purposes -thorns maybe, Its
basis is that confounding of facts
and ideas which was the weakness
of primitive mans reasoning and
which is the vice Of many Of his de-
scendants to this day notable So

Pins are used to attach one some
thing to another something" You
are pinned" to your job. You spill
the pins and, by sympathetic magic,
you spill this binding force; your job
is "unpinned" from you. But If one
pin remain unspilled that holds you
and your JOB together. ''What is as
ISOLATED in thought is associated in

idea that If all the pins are spilled

The bonds Of friendship and amity
