This is doing more to keep us
back than any other thing In all oil
this world. Say what we may, we
are our worst enemies and we will
not move very far until we learn
to have respect for ourselves.
Ii is our belief that one OF the
, reasons for our lack Of confidence
In ourselves is to be found In our
poverty. We are SO weak. we have
but little. and what we have we
give over into the hands OF white
people. because we have no conf
dence in our own ability to handle
wealth. AS DR.. Woodson pointed
out. we do not want black hands
TO serve us.
Negro Detroit is making a deter
mined effort to break away from
this slavery of mind and create a
new consciousness within our ra-
cial group that will result In an
increase Of our wealth and even
tually in our self respect.
We know that money alone will
not do this. but IL wealth Is Great
eel by spiritual activity II will re-
suit in making us more group con-
scious. The proof of this conten-
tion is to be found in what spiritu-
ally created wealth has done for
the Jewish people.
II is the conviction of the Jew
and all along has been, that God
hTs called him as chosen people
~ inherit the earth and to serve
and others throughout the
wcrld. and enjoy the rewards that
come from such service.

This particular lynching and

OF this crime that they planned

their victim in Georgia; carrying
him into Florida for execution.
That the attorney general of
the United States should remain
silent in case of this nature is
not quite clear for the average

Diarrhea. a very common and

both adults and infants. Is in itself
not a disease but the most promin-
ent symptom OF intestinal inflam-

The causes OF diarrhea are
many. They may be bacterial In
origin as In amebic dysentery, or
due to mechanical causes such as
improper diet or over-eating.
Some of the commoner cause
we may eumerate are % simple
over-eatlng (2) improper foods

TOO LATE WE WEEP


Beside the fower-strewn brers
Of friends who lie with eyes sealed in deaths sleep
We stand in bitter grief and shed tears
But ah, too late weep!
Above their pulceesss forms,
We place fair flowers plucked from fragrant bowers
But to the dead, fair blossoms have no charms
Too late give flowers
We stand beside. the dead
And whisper of their noble, kindly ways
The good they did, the gentle words they said:
But, ah too late praise.
Beside their biers bow,
While funeral tapers burn past many a notch:
But they dead, no harm reach them
Too late, too late watch.
While friends we love still live,
And bear the cruel ills and woes of fate,-
Now let weep and watch and praise and give:
