Marines in Nicarauga

Those who look to the government
at Washington to do justice accord
ing to the Constitution of the United
States are advised to consider the sit
uation in Nicaragua. Press dispatches
headed a "great victory" narrate a
battle between American marines
and certain general denominated a
bandit" but whose activities are so
far supported by the Nicaraguans
that he has 1000 followers. The
American press saw nothing incon-
gruous in the fact that the United
States is unable to guarantee fair
elections in Chicago, Pittsburgh and
eleven southern states of the Union
and the "Great Victory" heralded and
featured in large black letters.
It begins to look as if our boosted
"Last Hope of Mankind" as an ex-
pertinent in popular government must
end in a failure. For when the capt.
talists' powers have arrived so high
that the American guns thunder in
foreign territory, taking sides with
first one faction and then the other,
you may be sure the fate of older
nations is overtaking US fast. Under
these circumstances the outlook is
indeed hopeless for the black Ameri-
can. No wonder radicalism is getting
a foothold among us, for under the
present regime the whole of the
American people soon will be slaves
and not the Negro only. Coolidge
never went near the flood districts,
but King George of England went
down among the poor in the devas-
tated districts of England and the
Prince of Wales is fond working
down in a mine with other men in
times of distress. Why, o! why, is
president?

A Masonic Failure

The failure of the delegates to the
Masonic convention here last week
to patronize colored apartment
houses here, and giving all their pat
ronage to the Japanese, again DEM
onstrates jest how far behind and
how dumb we Negroes are as class
of persons in business matters. No
other class of people belonging to the
same race acts in such manner.
The Everglades Apartments, man.
aged by F. J. Brodhead, could have
arranged, we are told by him, to have
accommodated nearly all of the dele
gates. The man is a Mason, also.
Those who were left could have stop
ned OF the Malaga. clean place run
by Miss M. L. Gardner, colored
woman. who had 80 rooms vacant
and which is on the car line. What
use Negro conventions and meet
ings can be when the money they
spend is very carefully spent so that
no Negro can benefit thereby? The
money brought to city by a con-
vention is a very important item.
That is why such meetings are
sought. But only white folks and
Japanese or other nationalities gain
by colored convention. 1t seems
to us that this hard-to-teach race of
people vet needs the slavemaster's
voice. 1t also appears that no north
western Negroes are willing for any
other northwestern Negro to make
one cent off him. "How long, o Lord |!
How long will this blindness afflict
thy children?" Boys and girls gradu-
ating and no place to work provided
such failures to mack colored bust
ness pay enough to hire them. Peo-
pie, why don't you wake up?

window. The moon was now up, food

done that night when they brought
Dave home to her, with the little patch
of snow still on his cheek. There was
snow tonight, too, just light sitting
of it as there had been then.

She wondered If Dave-her Dave
knew? Perhaps. Who could say that
even tonight, this Christmas eve, he
was watching, waiting somewhere
wondering if she still remembered?
Remember? Aye, for ever and ever!
She drew on a shawl. 1t could not
be so very cold, the night was so
bright, the moonlight so soft against
the edge of the hills. The door creaked
as she opened it; there was frost on
the hinges, but her heart was warm;
she was going to do her vigil for Dave.
Down the winding road she went; the
road along which they mad brought
him home. How warm it was! Or was
it cold? Cold and warmth are so much
alike. How the road stretched on and
on 1t never had seemed so far. And
the moon-why was the moon growing
dark, when 1t had not yet reached the
zenith? And what made 1t sway like
that?
All, here was the spot, the very spot.
She sat down on the ground. This was
where they found him. Her hands
touched the snow, but 1t was not cold.
Nothing was cold. All was warm. But
the mcGn had gone out. Why had the
moon gone out? All, there he

her; she felt his kiss on her lips
