Happy New Year
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
New Years Day-what a day!
One in which men can pray
War to cease and brotherhood,
Be lived from day to day.
Like many a beginning, people re-
solve
To do different than the year past.
Some have good intentions,
But they don't long last.
If you want to make resolutions,
Do so with the fullest intent,
Of seeing them carried out
AS proof of what you meant.
What makes Happy New Year?
Some can hardly tell .~ s-. .
While others readily answer,
When everything goes we'll.
We control lot of our own destiny
The way we conduct our affairs,
Blame no one for your mistakes
False influences persuade weak
ones to take dares.
Each year must show some prog
ress,
Maybe progress was slowly gained,
But the forward step must be
advanced
Or your goal will never be attained.
It's an old, old custom
To ring out the old for the new.
May depression, war and its atten-
dant evils
Be stopped so mankind can some
thing else do.

The success of the first expedi-
tions encouraged the Portuguese,
and they sent out, in successive
years, numerous expeditions, each
with instructions "tO convert to the
faith" This, and discovery, were
the paramount objects with the
early Portuguese expeditions. The
slaves obtained by them were in
exchange for merchandise with
slave dealers; until the discovery
and colonization of America, there
were no markets for the slaves suf-
ficient to excite the covetousness
and other passions of men.

The mention made Of Negroes

in the instructions given by the
Spanish court to Ovando, in the
year 1901, by which Negro slaves,
"born in the power of Christians"
were allowed to be sent to the In

LISTEN TO THIS
By Hobart T. Mitchell

UnEcOc
From Egypt principally came
the supply of Negro slaves for an
cient Greece. These were priced
for their color, were kept near the
persons and were considered slaves
of luxury.
Ulysses was the offspring of a
master living with a female slave.
And he gratefully acknowledged
that his father honored him equal
ly with his legitimate sons. Though
free, a man in Ulysses position
depended more upon the will and
power of the father than any fixed
rights. Hence, Tecmessa appealed
to Ajax in behalf of her son, the
issue of such concubinage, in the
event of his dying during the sons
tender years, lest she "should eat
the bread of slavery with her son."
GERMAN ~.
The masters power by a German
prOverb, which has been preserved:
He is mine-I can boil him or roast
him.
ENGLISH
Sir John Hawkins has the dis
tinction of being the first English
captain of a slave ship about the
year 1862. His first cargo landed
in Hispaniola, yielded a rich re-
turn in the tropical production
with which his ships returned to
England. The news of his success
attracted notice of the reigning
sovereign Elizabeth, and in subse-
quent expeditions Of this heartless
manstealer, she was a partner and
protector.
ROMANS
To protect the master, the Ro-
man law was very stringent, and
provided that, where the master
was found murdered in his house,
and no discovery of the perpetrator,
all the domestic slaves should be
put to death. But the law was not
enforced in all cases.
The wife of a Roman, upon her
marriage, received a confidential
slave. He belonged to her, the mas
ter having no control over him. He
frequently had the confidence of
the wife more than her husband.
He took charge of the parapher-
MALTA of the wife. For her fOOtmen
and cOuriers, the wife preferred al
ways the Negroes; and one reason
given was because of the contrast
of the skin and the silver plate sus-
pended upon the breast, upon which
was inscribed the name and title
of the mistress.
PORTUGAL
In Jap, some ,Moors who had
been captured by the Portuguese,
proposed to purchase their liberty
by a ransom of Negro slaves.
Prince Henry of Portugal in
structed Gonsalvez to accept the
ransom, for whatever Negroes he
should get che would gain souls"
because they might be converted
to the faith, which could not be
managed with the Moors. Ten Ne
groes were obtained; around this
nucleus, thus commenced, either
from true or pretended religious
zeal, was gathered that immense
trade, for which Spain, Portugal
and England for centuries, con-
tended, and which has since been
