PEOPLE OF SANTIAGO THRILLED BY MARCUS GARVEY FOR TWO NIGHTS Hundreds Crowd Negro Cuban Club House to Hear of African Redemption—Old Liberty Hall Suddenly Became Too Small—A New Liberty Hall Secured in Three Days. sunday morning, the sixth of March, opened a new day in the history of Santiago do Cuba. The news circulated the town that his Excellency the Honorable Marcelo Garvey was really visiting Santiago because a representative, had preceded him from the city of Havana and at once elaborate preparations were begun under the superintendence of Mr A G. Burkley, the traffic manager of the Black Star Line sent from Havana. The Presidential party consisting of the Right Honorable Marous Carvey, his private secretary, Miss Amy Jacques, and her brother, Mr. Cleveland Jacques, the official secretary, reached Santiago from Camaguey at three o'clock on the morning of the 10th of March, and was taken to a private residence provided for the party. It was 10 o'clock in the morning with a warm sun shining when His Excellency received a visiting party consisting of Miss Clarice Walters, the local and active Lady President; Miss Ellen Walters, her sister; Mr. Robert French, the male vice-president, and Mrs. Elma Taylor, the latter an old acquaintance of His Excellency. The party was accompanied by Mr. Burkley, who made the introductions. The rest It was the 11th, the day dawns warm and fair; everybody is in a bustle, the anticipation is exciting. Many visit the President; others go off decorating the local Club Aponte where the guest of honor would speak. It was eight o'clock; the hall is aglow with bright expectant faces, all watching the stairs, for the arrival of the great man of the hour. Suddenly at the warning of his approach the band plays the Cuban National Anthem, followed by "Ethiopia Tha Land of Our Fathers." Everybody standing, on the chairs, as His Excellency enters accompanied by the Traffic Manager and take their places on the platform. The chairman of the evening, Rev Dr. Lowie, president of the Barbados Division, opened with a stirring address in which he cologged the calling and the Divine duties of His Excellency, Sir Marous Garvey. The program was one of addresses and musical selections which kept the audience amused until His Excellency was introduced by the local organizer, Mr. Ceco Rawlina, in English and in French by Mr. Clarice Walters, the Lady President. His Excellency proge, emiling pleasantly, to keep his hearers spellbound for an hour and a half. The applause which greeted him was deafening, then he proceeded to deliver the greeting of 16,000,000 Negroes of America and 400,000,000 Negroes of the world to the Negro people of the beautiful city of Sang-tigo. His Excellency outlined the rise and progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the construction and development of the Black Star Line and WAFRS for African-American through the Liberian construction project. He then unfolded the process of scientific religion having first challenged anybody to serve their God more sincerely than he did his. "If the white man make his God a white God, his Jesus a white Jesus, and his Angels beautiful white women, LIBERIAN PLENARY COMMISSION POPULAR AT THE CAPITOL President King, Justice Johnson, Mr. Morris and Mr. Dennis. See Charles Gilpin in "The Emperor Jones" at the Balaise Theatre—Thousands Attend then we ought to make our God and Jesus black men and our angels beautiful black girls" which kept the audience in a roar of applause and laughter for several minutes while the speaker, wiped the perspiration from his brow and cheeks and took a drink of water prior to proceeding. The fame of Marous Garvey is a known fact in this beautiful land of the Antilles for the freedom of which the Negro Antonio Maceo was a foremost factor. A new Liberty Hall of the Santiago Division becomes necessary to hold the added membership, and this was provided in three days. LIBERIAN PLENAR POPULAR President King, Justice Mr. Dennis Seo Charlie Jones" at the Balasco. By V. J. W. Washington, April 1—The headquarters of the Liberian Plenary Commission at 1837 R street Northwest, is fast becoming the mecca of myriads of men and women with whom the members of the commission have become very popular. Negroes here take especial pride in the fact that they have in their midst such envoys extraordinary as those sent to America by the small but independent Negro Republic of Liberia. Last Monday morning at 11 o'clock 4,000 persons jammed the Belasco Theatre here to see Charles Gilpin in "The Emperor Jones." The play was given under the auspices of the Howard University Players from the Department of Dramatic Art. President King and Justice Johnson, together with the other members of the Liberian Plenary Commission were present and occasioned the upper left hand side of the house. The box hung the flag of the Liberian Chief Executive as well as the Liberian flag. In the box with the commission were President Stanley Durkee, of Howard University; Mr. Emmett Scott, secretary of the university; Dr. Curtis, brother of the former Minister to Liboria; Mrs. Emmett Mrs. Curtis; Mrs. Emmett a sister-in-law of President King; Miss Mills, a niece of Mr. Marrilla, one of the commissioners, and Mrs. Chas. Gilpin, wife of the dramatic luminary. Among the elite social functions attended by the commission was the Blue Birds Ball given by the Blue Birds, one of the prominent organizations within the pale of Washington's social four hundred. The President and the other members of the commission also attended stellar performances of the Billy King performers, and "Broadway" Rasusis at the Howard Theatre. They occupied boxes decorated with American and Liberian flags, and were introduced to the audience that picked the theatre. George Williams and the Howard Players gave another performance at the Belasco Theatre Friday afternoon, April 1.

ENOCH JEFFERSON UNCLE OF EDITOR OF THE WORLD PASSES AWAY AT AGE OF 78 A Veteran of the Civil War, He Was Never Sick Until He Was Thrown by a Horse When He was 72. Mr. Enoch Jefferson, the oldest living brother of the mother of Wm. H. Ferris, the Literary Editor of the Negro World, died at his home at 701 DuPont street, Wilmington, Del, on Saturday evening, March 29, and was buried on the following Thursday afternoon. Mr. William Greenidge, the undertaker, had charges of the body and Rev. J. O. King, pantor of E. Zion M. E. Church, con- ducted the services. Three daughters, Mike Florence Jefferson and Mrs. Griza Haywood of Willington, Del, and Mrs. Blanche Renner of Washington, D. C. even grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Sarah A. Ferria of New Haven-and Mrs. Kate Jefferson of Willington, a brother David Jefferson of New Haven and a host of relatives survive him. When one reflects that Enoch Jefferson lived to the ripe age of 78 and was never sick in his life until thrown by a horse, when he was 72, his career seemed remarkable. He came of a studly stock, on both his father, Enoch Jefferson and his mother, Kilimanjaro Jefferson, lived to be nearly ninety, and were safe and hearty at adulthood. By the age and simple life that he lived Enoch Continued on page 8. BSCRIPTION You try to get it every week don't you? Has it ever occurred from a dealer, or it may be that mantra regularly in which our universal Negro Improvement "To the British Colonial Office, according to a Bender message from Brussels, sextile minimum, the timing by representing it as an affair to "decease week age," now requested in a, slightly congratulatory, and, indeed, that growth, to the British House, England. A few days ago Mr. Arthur Brishane, in the course of one of his brilliant editorials, referred to the "Unrest Germ" which has been sweeping over the world just as the Spanish influenza swept over it, spreading death and devastation, in the fall of 1918. Mr. Brishane said: "An uprising in the Congo region is the latest 'unrest news.' Fifty trading posts are burned and the black gentlemen are on the warpath. You will probably be told that Lennin and Trotter started that As H. G. Wells says, when a miner in England complains of the price of shoes for his children the Bolsheviks are accused of teaching him their doctrine. "The Congo uprising, like the restlessness in India and elsewhere, is part of a general world condition. Mental germs of discontinent travel around the earth as rapidly as the germs of Spanish influenza, and they may be more dangerous. "An Associated Press dispatch from Japan, describing voting in a crowd of ten thousand the agitation of Japanese peers, declaring discipline in the Empire to be destroyed, shows how far the discontent germ has traveled. You find it under the hot sun of the Congo, where the gentleman certainly will not be able to establish a government of their own, if they get rid of what they have. You find it among the Eskimos, who complain that they must eat their dogs, etc." Ever since the days when the English, barons and knights wrestled the Magna Charis, from King John at Runnymede the Caucasian races, have manifested that spark of malignness that divine discontent, which rebels against established privilege and entrenched wrong. The Prussian Reformation in Germany, the Puritan Reformation in England, the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the rise of Bolshevism are classic instances. For a white man to resent an assault and present against a wrong was regarded as perfectly natural. So the unrest which is afflicting the Caucasian races of Europe and America is nothing new in modern history. But the peculiar character, the use of the present unrest germs is that. Manifesting the natives of India and the Congo region, the Japanese peers and the Eskimos, who were supposed to have more of the characteristics of cattle than of human beings and who were supposed to be shameless to mental agitation and unrest. THE UNREST GERM—THE LOVE OF LIBERTY IS AFFECTING THE DARKER RACES— MARCUS GARVEY SWEEPING JAMAICA opportunity for spiritual growth and economic development, the same as the descendants of the blue-eyed, flaxen-haired and blond Vikings. The world is slowly but surely coming to the belief that Jesus' doctrine of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are like the law of gravitation: They are not limited to race or color, but are capable of a universal application everywhere. When we read in Genesis, "God formed man of the dust of the earth, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul," and that God created man in the Divine image, it is well for us to remember that this applies to man as such, man per se, instead of only to the blond variety of mankind. His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey differs from Frederick Douglass, William Monroe Trotter, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, Prof. William Pickens and Hon. A. H. Grimke, who struck valiant blows for the manhood rights of American men of color, in two respects. First, he organized the U. N. L. A., which is a world-wide confraternity of men of African descent. And through the Negro Factories Corporation, the Black Star Line and the Universal Construction Loan, he endeavored to put industrial props under the Negro and lay economic foundations for his future. The Daily Gleaner, Jamaica's foremost paper, is publishing glowing reports of Mr. Garvey's triumphant lecture tour in Jamaica. His picture appeared on the front page, and the entire front page was devoted to him. We are glad that his native land is extending such a royal welcome and reception to the noted leader. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11 An view of the kind of education and treat- ures needs some revision. We are inclined to Negro youth should be surveyed in the light of pay monkeyology. W. H. IT'S RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUT attention has been called to a statement which is by the Associated Negro Press and reproduced colored newspapers. The statement concerns the Garvey to the United States of America. The surer reads as follows: rent American view of the kind of education and treatment the Negro requires needs some revision. We are inclined to believe that the Negro youth should be surveyed in the light of psychology rather than monkeyology. W. H. F. GARVEY'S RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OUR attention has been called to a statement which was sent out by the Associated Negro Press and reproduced in several colored newspapers. The statement concerns the return of Marcus Garvey to the United States of America. The statement in one paper reads as follows: WILL GARVEY GET BACK? "There is strong suspicion in these parts that one Marcus Garvey, who has a Negro propaganda which is functioning like none other, will be unable to get back into the United States after his sojourn in the West Indies. He intends to return here in April. Garvey is not a citizen of the United States, but a foreigner. It would be comparatively easy for the United States Government, if there was any disposition to do so, to keep Garvey out of the United States on the ground that his propaganda is stirring up American Negroes as they have never been stirred up before, so constituting him an undesirable alien. "On the other hand it is pointed out that the Garvey movement has many strong lieutenants who are American citizens and that even if the leader, Marcus Garvey, is kept out of the country, his propaganda will only be increased in effectiveness by the advertisement which such a movement would receive. "Garvey is expected in Washington in April as provisional president of the colored peoples of the world. He is to open headquarters in the Black House at the Whitelaw Hotel and proceed to function as president of all the black people everywhere." The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are seriously requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. We do not know the source from which the Associated Negro Press derived its authority, but we are inclined to believe that the wish is father to the thought, but before we take up the main issue we desire to correct some misstatements. We desire to say first that His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey is not the provisional president of the colored peoples of the world. He is President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Provisional President of Africa. ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN NEGRO COLLEGES We have received several letters relative to the Howard University Law School. One of the communications stated that the friends of one of the officials of the defunct Capitol Savings Bank of Washington, D. C., are embittered and active against Prof. William Richards of the Howard University Law School. They are said to be aggrieved because Prof. Richards sued said official and obtained judgment against said official in the interests of some of his clients who were depositors in said bank. It is further stated that Prof. Richards in endeavoring to execute one of these judgments attached the salary of said official and that the official went into bankruptcy. If the above statements are true, Prof. Richards ought not to be opposed and demoted simply because he faithfully discharged his duties to clients who were depositors in a bank that failed and who desired some rebate on the money they invested. Secondly, the Hon. Marcus Garvey will not open headquarters in Washington, D. C., to function as president of all the black people everywhere, but the Rev. J. W. H. Eason, the American leader, will open up headquarters as a leader of American Negroes. Now to the question at issue. We have thoroughly read and reread the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and find nothing therein that conflicts with the Constitution of the United States of America. There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States of America (and we have heard the famous William Graham Summer of Yale University, Dean Robinson of the Catholic University and Dr. Phels, U. S. Minister to the Court of St. James, comment upon it) which forbids American citizens going to Africa as missionaries, educators, importers, exporters or commercial developers or colonizers. If the representatives of the Associated Negro Press know of such clause or clauses, we would be grateful for such information. We are not legal experts and are always glad for light from legal geniuses. But the present situation in Howard University merges itself into a question which has already been faced in the larger white universities and which is beginning to loom up in the Negro colleges and universities, and that is the question of "academic freedom." The professors in Yale and Harvard Universities enjoy some measure of academic freedom, that is, they can air their views on national and political problems without endangering their position in the university. The late Prof. William Graham Sumner of Yale could advocate "Free Trade," Dean Rogers of the Law School could express opinion of presidential candidates and Prof. Iving Fisher could express his views of the League of Nations without weakening it grip at the university. Over at Harvard Prof. Charles Ellot Morton could criticize Amstera's entrance in the Spanish-American war. Prof. Josh Royce could analyze race prejudice, Prof. Albert Haskell Hart could become a Roosevelt delegate to the Republican National Convention and Prof. William James and Prof. Munster-Barr could express their views on not only intellectual, but practical problems, without jeopardizing their jobs. The Roman Catholic Church, with organizations in every civilized country in the world, with the seat of papal authority in Rome, Italy, shows that an organization non-political may function in several countries without disturbing the political equilibrium of the countries, in which it functions. The statement that we are discussing says that Garvey's "Propaganda is stirring up American Negroes as they have never been stirred up before, so constituting him an undesirable alien." Not so, however, with Negro-colleges or universities. We recall a letter from a professor in Howard University who has crossed the bar and joined the choir invisible. In that letter he sadly lamented the fact that he must treat on tiptoe and sho sho like a burglar in the dark for fear of disturbing the slumber of some one. Why the difference? The aim in the leading white universities is the full, free and complete development of the intellectual and moral powers of the student. For that reason the professors are inspired to give the student the best fruits of their study, observation, experience, research and investigation. In their scientific, mathematical, ethnological, philosophical, psychological and theological researches and investigations, they are expected to make public their findings. That is why we have the X-ray, the electron theory, the Mediterranean race, pragmatism and Einstein's relativity. We fail to see that there is anything in the so-called Garvey movement contrary to the Declaration of American Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and ex-President Woodrow Wilson's famous declarations about democracy, justice, humanity, civilization and self-determination which stirred the civilized world two and three years ago. The same cannot be said of some disfranchisement and jim-crow clauses in some Southern State constitutions. But in the Negro college or university the ideal has not been the full, free and complete intellectual and spiritual development of the Negro student. But the training of the Negro youth to know his duties and teaching him not to strive for the unattainable. For this reason those Negro educators in the national capital who tried to inculcate the ideas and ideals which are inculcated in Yale, Harvard, Columbia University, Clarke University and Oxford and Cambridge universities have been persons non grate. And those Negro educators who have believed that the Negro was half a man instead of a woman, man and hence should not aspire for the highest things in modern civilization, were landed in comfortable berths and kept in regard that of the fact whether they were or were not progressive and贤者 were not popular with the colored citizens of the national capital. The wicked ones say that Ast, Supt, Roscoe commanded himself strength resides in the fact that he accepts the American attitude regarding the inherent and innate inferiority of Dr. H. Wilcolm Ellegor, the High Commissioner of the U. N. L. A., spoke officially for the Executive Council in the Negro World two weeks ago. There was nothing unconstitutional in that declaration. We sustain official relations with the African Communities League, the Negro Factories Corporation and the Black Star Line, which represent the practical functioning of the U. N. I. A., and believe that they are thoroughly American institutions. The Bible says that the Negro is a man. The Constitution of the United States says the Negro is a man. Modern ethnology and psychology say the Negro is a man. And we fail to see how Marcus Garvey, regarding the Negro as the Bible, the Constitution of the United States and modern science regard him, is an undesirable alien. America has always been broad in welcoming foreigners who desire liberty. And we believe that the Goddess of Liberty will welcome Marcus Garvey back as she welcomed Lafayette, Pulsahi, Kosciusko, Carl Schurz and De Valera. DR.

It is entitled "A Phase of the Race Pribblema Looked at From Within the Race Itself." It is the annual inauguration sermon of Dr. Grinke is printed by request. It recognizes the value of intellectual development and economic achievement, but regards character and ballast in God as the best rock upon which the Negro must build his program.

The world is slowly but surely coming to the belief that Jesus does the brotherhood of man are like the law of gravitation: They are capable of a universal application everywhere.

CORRESPONDENCE CORRESPONDENCE SENSE IN RACIAL MATTERS Prof. Wm. H. II. literary editor, Negrad World. 56 West 135th st. New York City. Dena Sirt— I beg to call to your attention to a matter which may be of some importance thought exposing the silliness of some of our Negro people who have yet to learn quite a few things to go with their seeming intelligence. I will state the matter briefly and leave same to the Negro World for further comment, if necessary. I was talking to several members of a certain organization, having a mem- bership of about 200 Negroes inquiring why their organization was not represented at the convention held last August at Liberty Hall, when all members of the club were invited to our great organ. The Negro World, mouthpieces of the U. N. L. A., 15 round delegates to said convention. Honestly, I was dumbfound and felt ashamed at the silliness of the answer I received, which was as follows: "We were not represented at the convention, as we expected an invitation from Mr. Garvey personally, and mostly all like organizations expected the same." Dear, dear air, I, being a, staunch member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, know positively that there is no segregation of Negroes taught or practiced within said institution, no matter where those Negroes are or where they come from and to what organization they belong. Hence, it would be logically unfair to send invitations to certain so-called organizations while shoring others in the same manner. Biggest hearts of the world. Mr. sup. Now, what are looking for personal preparations, but willing to show the desperate need of meeting thousands of men. Continued from Page 1 HON. MARCUS GARVEY. groes to every city and village in the world to gather the names and addresses of all Negro organizations and send them to headquarters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we will then know that they are not selfish but racial at heart. Otherwise, it is well that we should let them know that "to be fortunate to be in a great city, even the greatest where literature spreads abundantly does not always mean that one possesses good common sense." Now, dear sir, I do not mean to impose on the generosity of the Negro World for space, but there are often so many instances where some of our people lack sense in racial matters that I am compelled, with an overburdened heart, to write occasionally. Believe me sincerely to be. Racially and fraternally yours, JOSEPH C. LEGER New York city, March 29, 1931 A MESSAGE FROM NIGERIA Friday, Feb. 18, 1931. W H Ferris, Esq. Dear Sir— I am persuaded through fervor of my heart, soul and body to seize this most excellent opportunity to tender to you my heartiest congratulations for the excellent work you have so nobly done in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which is in existence for such a period. I did you long life and prosperity for the new blessed year of our Lord, 1931, which we have just begun. I am today unable to describe how we are delighted and joyous when the good things of the U. N. I. L. A. are announced, and its advent to this great continuation of our where God has created us to swallow. The propaganda of J. U. N. I. L. A. is in increasing health and breadth throughout the West. African people. It is, indeed, a good tiding I am here unable to tell you how the peoples of various tribes are overwhelmed. May God direct the Honorable Marcus Garvey to stretch further his rod into the Red Sea, where the united Negroes will continue the march over the Red Sea, as the host of Pharah is advancing upon us. Today I feel so much overjoyed and I feel inclined to shed tears when I recall the past history of our race. The Negro was bound in chains for centuries and, up to now, we are still in chains. In order to feel that there is an everlasting hope before us, we are daily offering our fervent prayer to God to overshade the U. N. I. A. with this great enterprise, and to come right onward to release us from the hands of our pressors. I would be greatly pleased to get from you every instruction as so as to enable me to make an effort to give our support to the U. N. I. A., as the majority of clerks and other people who are most interested in the U. N. I. A. dwell in territories where they have not been able to catch a glimpse of the movement. I am sure that if such authority is granted, Negroes of this northern territory of Nigeria will joyously give aid to the donation, and thereby gather from you in due course in order to enable me to make efforts to render our assistance. Please convey our hearty good wishes to the parent body and the executive council for its management. Thanking you for a prompt reply, I remain. Yours faithfully, A. B.

OVERFLOW MEETING IN LIBERTY HALL HEARS CAPT. C. E. GAINS Continued from page 1. doing among Negroes throughout the world. Captain Gaines, who is a minister of the Gospel, told his story in a manner that was very delightful and interesting. He did not visit all the towns in North Carolina which he had originally intended, because his chieftain, the Honorable Marous Garvey, while on the high seas, had sent a telegram to him to go at once into South Carolina and revive the people there. Like a true soldier, ever ready to obey orders, he went forth with into "cracker land" proper, the enemy country, and, to his own surprise, took the "crackers" by storm. Other speakers at tonight's meeting were Prof. Wm. H. Ferris, editor of The Negro World, who, in addition to his customary classical address, always instructive and inspiring, read a portion of an editorial that he said would appear in the present issue of the "World," entitled "Will Marous Garvey Get Back to America." Little Miss "Babe" Wilson was again present at the meeting, and the Chancellor, Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart permitted her to make another one of her talks, commanding virtually as much attention and eliciting as much applause (with the exception of Capt. Gaines) as any of the other speakers. A Reverend Jones, from Jackson, Mich., was also introduced. He said that up to a short time ago he had been asked to read a book and though he had received copies of the Negro World, he never troubled himself to read it. But he was led to take an interest in it because of the rather savage and unjust criticism of it which he heard by one of his fellow ministers in his home town. He at once determined to learn all he could about the association and the movement, and said he is convinced of its merits and its lotty purpose and practical program. Henceforth, he said, he would champion the cause of the association wherever he might go or be. We need not fight the white man he maintained, but get together and consolidate our forces and energies to fight the white man against the white man fight himself. "We are like the on-rushing locomotive, and the fellow who won't get on the band wagon, we will ride over him." Dr. Stewart occupied the chair and presided. He made the opening speech, which was unusually forceful and is here given in full. He mentioned that Negroes are noted for their characteristic of always prophesying, but, that unlike the prophets of old, who were true prophets, they pretend to foretell things they know will not come to pass. Before the Hon. Marcus Garvey had left New York for the West Indie, Panama, etc., many of the race had said by way of prophecy that he has gone, however, despite his prophecy, is there now. in fact. These same would-be prophets are saying that Garvey won't come back. "But let them wait and see," he said, "they will again find themselves greatly mistaken." The Chancellor went on to read several extracts from a Jamaican paper that gave glowing accounts of Mr. Garvey's trip to Jamaica, and of an address of welcome and praise gotten up by a committee of his fellow townman. These extracts were received with great satisfaction and pleasure by the audience, which applauded every reference to Garvey's name. He thanked God that he had lived to the day when Negroes honored Negroes, and dramatically added: "God save Marcus Garvey! Let the world be afraid or be ashamed to honor God because he is the only man on God's green earth who has ever succeeded in bringing so many Negroes together for their common interests as a race and as a people." The customary musical program, interpersed with many appropriate numbers, vocal and instrumental, and consisting of solos, quartets, selects' by the choir and by the land, preceded the speechmaking, as usual, and enjoyed immensely. Several announcements were made as to the happenings to take place within the coming week. The hall was packed throughout; the Black Cross Nurses were out in good number, as also the Motor Corps and the African Legion. A large collection was taken up, and, singular as it may be, there is not the slightest sign anywhere of any diminution in the interest on the part of the members and friends of this unique, embracing and most rapidly growing movement among our people for their material advancement and for the realization of their hopes for ultimate happiness, equal justice and equal opportunity by the establishment of a government of their own in the richest most luxurious and historic continent in the world—the land of King Solomon, the land of Ethiopia—Africa. Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, Right Honorable Chancellor, as the first speaker of the evening, delivered the following address: Right Honorable Mister of the Legions, Officers and Members of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Friends: Again we rejoice that we are permitted to greet you again in Liberty Hall on the first Sunday in April. I feel indeed glad for various reasons. The Negro race is always prophagey. There were some prophecies in olden days, but they were true prophecies; but today the Negro is always prophagey. When they cannot give the opportunity of doing things themselves they believe that no other should do it. But God has so commanded that some Negroes must do things; and let me say right here. Dr. Stewart Sneake. the Negro who pretends to lead the race, whether he be a statesman or a preacher of righteousness, if he stands against those who are doing a great work for the bringing of the race together, he is no leader. (Applause.) Before the President General left here for the West Indies, the Negroes said he could not go. Now he is gone, they say he cannot come back. (Laughter). And when he comes back, I don't know what they will say; they are always prophesying. (Laughter). So, just wait a while. Marques Garvey in Jamaica. The speaker then held up to view a copy of a Jamaica paper called "The Jamaica Gleaner," showing in it a large photogravure of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. From it he read an article on the President General's visit there, and of the big meetings and concerts arranged all over the island to hear him speak. The article in part follows: "Big meetings and concerts arranged all over the island to hear the Hon. Marcus Garvey, elected Provisional President of Africa, President General of the U. N. L. A. and President of the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation. He will be in Jamaica nine days, and will speak at various places, among the subjects he will speak on being: The Man Jesus Christ as Understood by the New Negro; 'Jamaica; Hae Needs, and the Negro Problem; The Man Jesus Garvey was elected in 2,000 delegates to the convention of Negroes held last summer in New York city, United States of America, as the first President General of Africa. He is the foremost leader among Negroes in the United States and the West India Islands." (Applause.) Dr. Stewart then read from the same paper an address delivered to Mr. Garvey while in Kingston by the members of the Advisory Board of the Kingston (Jamaica) Branch of the U. N. I. A. The address was a光耀ly glowing encomium upon the great work Mr. Garvey has accomplished as leader of the triple organizations known as the U. N. I. A. the Negro Factories Corporation and the Black Star Line, and closed with the following words: "The Negro is only striving towards that haven which will place him on the same social, economic and industrial and intellectual plane as those who are his comrades in arms in the titanic struggle against the selfish Blun. This fact, and this alone, do we accept as the tenet of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which demands and supports an attitude Negro and a support of the unarmed and the armed races; and in this struggle we will press on, imbued with this spirit of determination. With you as our leader, we hope to scar into higher regions of success, and pray God that He will lavish upo, you a furtherance of His guidance until life's last evening bell shall summon you to eteral rest." Filled with emotion and joy, by which the audience seemed affected by the reading of the extracts from the "Jamaica Gleaner," Dr. Stewart asked everyone present to stand and sing the National Anthem of the Association on the band played. The command was promptly and enthusiastically obeyed. Continuing, the Right Honorable Chancellor said: "I thank God that I have lived to see the day when Negroes honor Negroes. (Applause.) God save Marcus Garvey! (Hurrahe!) Let the world know that we honor the man! We are not afraid or ashamed to honor him, because he is the only man on God's green earth who has ever succeeded in bringing so many Negroes together. Let everyone stand aside when Marcus Garvey is coming, for he says we are coming 400,000,000 strong, and the foolish Negro who may call himself a leader and will not join the ranks, we will crush to death! Then let us pray for him. And what I admire the man for, is that he is very shrewd. He what he said to the Jamaicans: I am not here to teach you disloyalty to your government; I am here to tell you Negroes to get together. (Great applause.) He is fearless, and yet he is a diplomat; he knows what to say; he knows what to do, and he knows how to get the Negroes together and do things. "The paper from which I read you the extracts is a prejudiced paper, yet they have given pages to Marcus Garvey, who is the first Negro to receive such an honor. Is there any other Negro of national repute who (today has ever received such an honor as the Hon. Marcus Garvey) (Cries of "Nones!") And the only way Negroes can get honor is to come here. (Appeals. Outside of the Universal Immigration Association he can get a little honor, but when he joins the ranks of the U. M. N. L. A. he is in line to get the greatest honors that it is possible to bestow upon the Negro. "Don't you know the time has come, that when you meet a man, the first thing you ask him, after you shake hands, is 'Are you a member of the U. N. I. A. T.' And when you find that he is not a member, you feel greatly disappointed. Well, you say that man cannot be sensible, because if he were sensible, he would go with the crowd. Why? Because all people follow the other day, when I want to stash in the closet a shirt like Kanavana. I saw some Irish people who had a little pot hanging upon three poles. They were solitary money. And what you think was marked on this pot? 'Have a heart for Ireland.' I said to my colleague: "One of these nights I went to speak at Liberty. Hall and say to the people there: 'Mergers! have a heart for Africa.' (Applause). If the Irish people, although living in America, THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. APRIL 2. 1921 still have a heart for Ireland, why should not the Mregre, scattered all over the world, have a heart for Africa? Sendle Mregre, get together! Have a heart for your own country, and do what you can for it; and, let me tell you, the time will come when you will be all marching over there under the music of your own band and under your own flag of the Black and the Red and the Green, and living under your own vine and fig tree, with no one near to dare to make you afraid. (Cheers.) Prof. Ferria Saoaka. Prof. William H. Furry, editor of the Negro World, was the next speaker. His preliminary remarks touched upon the issue raised by the Negro Association Press as to whether Hon. Marc Garvey, who is at present touring the West Indies and South America, would be permitted to return to America. This, the Negro Associated Press considered problematic, because as they put it, his propaganda has stirred up American Negroes as they have never been stirred up before as to constitute him an undesirable agent. Prof. Furry in his speech intimated that an answer to the conclusions given out by the Association would appear in the editorial columns of the Negro World, and for the benefit of who might overlook it he read extracts from the editorial which appears in roll in another column of this issue. Miss "Babe" Wilson, the Indian girl of twelve who was at the meeting last Sunday, was again present tonight, and made another one of her childlike speeches. This time she spoke upon the subject of disobedience and Jonah, evidencing a knowledge of the Bible and a grasp of its meaning and application to daily life that is remarkable. Miss Wilson is said to be hair to a fortune of a few millions, and her intentions are, she says, when she reaches maturity, to spend it for the educational uplift of Negroes. Rev. Jense Speaks. The chairman next introduced Rev. Jones, a prescriber of the A. M. E. Church and a delegate of the bachchair Conference of the A. M. E. Church Rev. Jones said that his mission in New York was to learn more about the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the spendid work he has barn done here. He confessed to having seen the Negro World while he was pastoring in Michigan, but that he had not paid much attention to it. "Although did not care to read the paper," he the pastor of the church, which I wrote to him to knock Mr. Garvey and said some very detrimental things about him, and I began to sit up and take notice, but said nothing to him. One of the things he said was that Garvey could not go back to Jamacie; but I see he in there now. However, I let the gentleman alone, and about two weeks after I became the aggressor, in a meeting held in the church, something came up, and I said to him, "You can say what you like about Garvey, the man, that can get Negroes together, he is the man." "Abjure," Do not understand me. I am not caring this because I am in your hall. I do not know anything about the work- ings of your organization. I asked the prescriber whether he had investigated M. Carrerville's work and he said no. Then I said: I am going to New York, and if God helps me, I am going to investigate the thing and find out what things about it, and when I shall have found it out I will come back to Jackson. Mich. (my home).* The speaker said he arrived in New York on Friday morning and at about 12:30 he was in the office of the Chapulín General, trying to find out about the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Continuing, he said: "This organisation is the child of my image. What I mean by that is this: Eighteen years ago I wondered how the Negroes could come together. Eighteen years I have been talking this thing: I have seen things about getting the Negroes together. One of the things that was and is still paramount in my mind is that, I order to get what we want, in order to rise to our true manhood, in order to let the white man know that we are going to come into our own some day, Negroes all over the world must acquire wealth, education and commerce. That was my platform years ago, and blessed be God, Garvey has found it. (Cheera) Negroes in this country have been fighting for these rights, and we have kept us out of them. And 'et me say this to you, my friends: We need not fight the white man, but who, we ha 'o to do is to concentrate our forces and let him fight himself. (Cheera) The speaker showed how unnatural it would have been for the white man in America to welcome the Negro who had been his goods and chat's. A terms of equality, especially since I's freedom had only been brought out by force of arms. But he maintained that as soon as Negroes acquired education and wealth and invested their money in the various industries that produce money in the country, then the white man would be willing to welcome him on equal terms. "Mr. Garvey," he said, "as far as I see. I have it, has put ships on the sea; Mr. Garvey wants Negroes to go to Africa (not all, however). About twenty-eight years ago a preacher from Africa stopped in the Wesleyan A. M. E. Church and spooked光华 of Africa, and he said that the white man would be willing to give a bottle of red wine, a bottle of whiskey and some rum, which he would give to those African men and women and get their ivory and gold and take to England. What Mr. Garvey wants, as far as I can understand, is to manipulate the situation, get all the darkened peoples of the world to concentrate their efforts on Africa, then put ships on the sea and go and bring the ivory here; and get the gold that the white man is taking out of Africa, and the diamonds and so on, and establish a government where we shall be under our own vine and fig tree with no one to disturb us. That is what I see Mr. Garvey wants to do, and he has my support. (Cheera) Let me tell you, my friends, I am on the platform, and wherever I shall go, whether you tell me to do it or not, I shall talk about Garvey and his movement (Good applause). I shall say because I am the Negro upstilt; I am for the things that make me ruthen; I stand for the things that will bring our women up, up, up, and not the old Southern spirit of going and knocking on the white man's door seeking a job, to be told I have a job, but not for a nigger. That time is past, thank God it is passing—and the time is coming when we shall be able to find our boys and girls work to do. "I am glad to be here tonight, to have this opportunity of saying these few words to you. In closing let me say: Fight on, my friends; fight on. Let the world stand up and take notice or sit down or lie down or what it lice. Let it take notice that the New Negro is coming; that he has awakened to the situation. And let the white man, with all his opposition, stand in the way. We are like the onrushing lively and the fellow who will not get on the band wagon, him we will ride over." (Loud aplause.) Capt. Gaines' Spooch. The Hon. Captain C. E. Ganes, Minister of the Legions, in part as follows: Right Honorable Sirs of the Executive Council, Members of the New York Division of the U. N. I. A. Ladies and Gentlemen: It will be quite a task for me to speak to you tonight, because I have been laboring hard in the field for two months, and have spoken to thousands of people in Philadelphia only this afternoon, from half past three until half past four, and then caught the five o'clock train and rushed in to see you here for the first time in two months. I thank God that I am permitted, at last, to come back to my own home, my own New York, my own Liberty Hall, where I can see your smiling faces beckoning me with pleasure and with welcome; and having gone down among the "crackers" of South Carolina and North Carolina for the last two months, it brings me back to you tonight to tell you some of the things that have passed in my itinerary. Having gone into the southland, I visited a beautiful city called Ashville, N. C., where there are many "dictic" Negroes. They call themselves "dictic," big Negroes, but I shot them to pieces. (Great laughter and applause.) I brought them to their knees and to their senses, and incubated into them the principles of the U. N. I. A. as presented in the doctrines taught and promulgated by the Hon. Marques Garvey. On arriving there, they had a beautiful automobile themself. I would, I would, take the Negroes too. But I want to tell you that I feomed them, few, as are individuals, one speaking as the Minister of Lazard. I did not come into the Universal Mercy Improvement Association, to better my financial condition, at all. I went into it, off the floor, I saw the unfolding and the result of my involvement in the world. (Ashville, N. C.) "dictia" big Negroes, who have been putting their hands down into the pockets of my people the last fifty years, and give them no return, think that they can come with a big automobile and invite me into it and ride me off, to be and they have made a mistake (Laughter and applause). They said "Captain, we want you, as the Ministers of Legions of the biggest organization among Negroes; we want you to come up to the Methodist Church, the A. M. E. Methodist Church, a big brick church in College Street, Anheuser; we want you to see the people here this afternoon, and want you to speak to them tonight." I said "All right, my friend, the people in the city want to see me, want to see it, want to go up and let the people look over, and I looked them over. I then went home to get my supper, and came back in the evening to speak to the people, which I did for an hour and ten minutes, on the principles found inculcated in the Universal Negro Improvement Association as presented by Marcus Garvey; and having done so, I and the city at my heels and at my feet (Applause). And from that time on I had the "dictia" Negroes. I told them "You either come into the U. N. I. A. while I am here, or quit bringing your automobile to my door in ride. Why? Because I have found in my travels the country that the U. N. I. A. is catering to big Negroes anywhere, but it is the masses of the people as you find them here before me tonight, and for that reason I shall let the "dictia" Negroe, the big Negroes of any city; or any State know that I am going to preach the doctrine of Garveyam to all the people of the world. I spoke in every big church in Ashville, I. N. C., with the exception of one instance, and he was one of those "dictie" Negron, whom I told that he could speak in eleven churches there, and in many people were greatly interested in me. The Asheville Times wrote me up every single day while I was in the city, and the people all over the country in North Carolina were sending me telegram after telegram to come out to see and speak to them. But when the Philadelphia Division of the U. N. I. a sent for me, I canceled my speaking engagements and returned "North Asheville in the eleven days I was there." I met people there, and came away after they sent me one of the biggest banquets that I ever had attended, having induced 265 persons to join our association. They paid their money in promptly, and I sent it on to the main office here. Then I went to a place called Morgantown, miles away from Asheville, and I told the people there that I was coming. In anticipation of my visit, they went to the sheriff of the town and renting the court house (laughter) for purposes of holding the meeting in which our hear me. I never saw such an affair in my life. When I got there the court house was packed, even the bench where the judge said and the enclosure where the lawyers sat; it was packed and jammed as this place is here tonight. They had never heard of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I explained its aims and objects, and organized a membership of persons all of whom paid in their own money at once to the main office here. Dr. Stewart, of the parent body,ceived the money, I went back to see them about three weeks after that and induced 100 more persons to join our association. (Applause.) I take this interest and labor in this way because I know my people, and because I love this movement, and I love the association, above all things. I love and honor Marus Garvey, (Applause) And just as I desire that the Legions all over the world should obey me, so I obey the Hon. Marus Garvey's wife, was in Asheville, N. C., I had made a visit to several other cities in the State, but had to cancel them because the Hon. Marus Garvey, while on the high seas, rent me a telegram, saying: "Dr. Captain, I know you have suffered long and hard, and that you want to go back to the people in New York and see your wife, but they say the organization in South Carolina is going down there and revive it. So I had to act quickly and send out to the various other towns in North Carolina, where I expected to visit, telling them I wouldn't be able to visit them at that time. I had heard from PETER HARRIS USE MY GUARANTEED HAIR GROWER AND SKIN PREPARATIONS our children, and I am sure they could, not help, want to beaches they had made. I must, always my children, the very many, that I loved, were of North Carolina, and went into North Carolina into the spacious country, by the "mountains" there are, where they are in North Carolina. The speaker here described his experience upon going into south Carolina; how the white people all wondered, who the new Negro was; what he wanted, and so on. He was aware of the danger he was in, in attempting to disseminate the principles of Carverism in the state, to be prepared to proceed, regardless of consequences, as he was as willing to die in South Carolina in behalf of the cause, as to die anywhere else. He met there a Rev. Jones, the pastor of a beautiful church who extended to him a cordial welcome to come and visit his church and address the people there. Arrangements were made accordingly for the meeting and when the time arrived the edifice was packed and the people were moved to the thundered away and pooled into the people the news of the D. N. I. A. its principles and what it stands for; that his address created a wonderful effect upon them, and even stirred the white people of the town to serious thought. Captain Gaines then gave a dramatic recital of the details of the incidents leading up to an interview with the Mayor of Charleston, S. C. on his (the Mayor's invitation). whose interest in him was created by the reports which were sent broadcast throughout the city of Charleston through the newspapers and other sources of the successful meetings he had with the mayor, doling him his people. His account of the interview with the Mayor at the Town Hall was as follows: The Mayor approached me and said: Are you the man from New York City? I said: Yes. "Sit down," he said, and I sat on one side of the table while he sat on the other. "Your name is Captain Gaines?" I said, "Yes. I have seen your name in the Ashville Times and that you are doing good up here for the people of your race." I replied, I think so; and I am glad to know that you think so. The Mayor then said: "The reason why I called you to come to my office today is that want to compliment you." And that the Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were absolutely behind the Irish people. After I heard that I was glad in my heart and sent for you because I am an Irishman, too." (Cheers and laughter.) In conclusion the speaker admnished the members of the association to remain steadfast because the time has arrived for God to redeem the black people of the world, and the man whom he has sent to sound the trumpet and gather them together in the Horn. Marcus Garvey. May God grant that after the trumpet is sounded 400,000,000 shall hear the cry, answer to answer it, and march forward under the banner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and under the leadership of the Horn, Marcus Garvey. (Chemer.) Congratulations from Browning to you preserved. He was a wonderful person born in New York. He was hard and brave in Wilmington, Dak. He, with his brother Browning and his Uncle Samuel, fought in the Civil War and helped save the Union. In his younger days Browning was a successful farmer, a gated worker and breaker and trainee of western masters and he was a good judge of mercy until his death. Soon after the Civil War Browning person became interested in prying学 developing into an expert until he became the boss of the hits and pop music industry. In his later days Mr. Jefferson wanted per the DuPont family. His son Farris and his wife, Mary, died a few years ago, and his son Clarence, who became a contractor, died a few weeks ago. Mr. Jefferson was a calm, cool, headed man and mastered anything he tried his hand at, whether farming, house building, brick making or the training and breaking of western ponies. He was kind-hearted and goodron, but he was also hardened, as an indestructible. He was hale and hearty until with the past few weeks, and then Mr. Jefferson would not give up but kept on his feet and at his work within ten days of his death. He saved his money in his year ago days and purchased a couple home at the corner of 7th and DuPont Street, where he redded from the time he married fifty years ago until his death. He was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him.

Five hundred young women, clerks and stenographers of the office of the Register of the Treasury, have petitioned Congressmen to expose a tentative program to put a Negro over them. In response to this movement of the white workers of the Register's office, Negro editors charge that "prominent officials urge the clerks" on. Secretary Mellon has been informed of the situation and is trying to stop the row, but it is at white heat tonight. Five hundred and eight names are signed to the paper that has caused such a storm. Ever, member of Congress in Washington was handed a copy of it, and it was accompanied by a letter saying "Will you kindly give the enclosed your earnest attention? "This petition does not come from any political faction, nor was it insignified by Southern prejudice. Northamers, Easterners, Southerners, Westerners, Democrats and Republicans alike have set their signatures here. In time of war it was thought inadvisable to put Negro officers in charge of white troops. In times of peace it would certainly be inappadent to give Negroes jurisdiction over white citizens. "As citizens of the United States of America, we appeal to you, a member of Congress of these United States, to use your influence to prevent the appointment of a Negro to the office of Register of the Treasury." The petition, which was also addressed to Mrs. Virginia White Spee, chairman of the National Woman's Republican Committee of the District of Columbia, says: "We, the undersigned, white women employee in the office of the Register of the Treasury, respectfully petition that you will the Women's Republican party use your persuasion against the appointment of a colored man as Register of the United States Treasury." "We have been definitely informed that the appointment of a colored man as Registrar of the Treasury is being considered. The Registrar's office is now very large and is doing responsible work. Its personnel consists of more than 800 clerks, mostly aux-servile men and white women who are dependent upon this income here for support. For a Negro to have jurisdiction, over these clerks, would be intolerable. "It is true that colored man have served as Registrar of the Treasury, but, out of the twenty-two Registrars only four have been Negroes. At no time when this office was under the supervision of a Negro did the personnel consist of more than nineteen clerks and one messenger." "The real people behind this protest," the Washington "Colored American," Negro daty, says, "are higher up, and their names do not appear on the protest. Disgusting and uncomplimentary remarks are alleged to have been made by these propagandists against the President himself, and they viciously attacked those who were bold and honest enough to refuse to be intimidated.

Job, and we strenuously object to the appointment of any small man to any position of importance." It is understood that Senator Perryose will have a word to say in the naming of the Register of the Treasury. The names of more than 158 applicants most of them colored men, have been sent in for the position. Before the war, when Judson C. Lyon of Georgia and William T Vernon of Washington held the place now in controversy, a small view of clerks made up the working personnel, but the war has sent the number of employees to a thousand. More than half of those in the office signed the petition of protest. The following New York women signed the petition N J Willoughby, M. D. Mallard, Ella Wansleben, C Sutton, Anna E. Cahill, Margaret Johnson, Besale L. Shafer, Ruby Hunt, Vernie Loche, Cora Cox, Amy Robinson, Virginia Haseltin, Nellie Zurnan, Abigail Tompkins, J L Manderchief, Evangeline Kelsey, M. G. Jorrison, Eleanor Davis, Elizabeth A Vanaman, Elizabeth Nelson, Adille Biddle, Ola Krizek, Theresa Metagar, Edna Reiga, Willette Whitney, Laura Ferris, Charlotte Hines and P. A. Smithling. Senator Penrose's recent statement here on the rights of the Negro has started a lively discussion. It helped to fan the trouble in the Treasury Department into a big blase. It is an absurdity, according to Representative Tyson of Alabama, for Senator Penrose to declare for equal privileges to Negroes in hotels, schools and places of amusement and at the same time oppose social equality. Representative Tyron is a new member of Congress, succeeding Representative Dent, former Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, and formerly was Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. He opposed Mr. Dent with the argument that he did not protest against the placing of Negroes in the same hospitals alongside white ex-service men. Referring to the recent utterance of Senator Penrose favoring compulsory equal privileges, "in hotels, cafes, restaurants, educational institutions and amusement places on equal terms with whites" Judge Tyron said in part: "Proprietors of hotels, cafes, restaurants and amusement places have property rights which are protected not only by the Constitutions of several States, but by the Constitution of the United States. To deny to them the right to exhide such persons as may be offensive to the patrons to the end of impiring their business is a dental to them of property rights, accrued to them by the several Constitutions mentioned. "The Negro has no right to be accorded the privilege of becoming an unwelcome guest in hotels, cafes, restaurants and places of amusement, established and maintained for whites exclusively. To refuse him such rights is not a denial to him of equal rights," as asserted by Senator Penrose, but is in full accord with constitutional guarantees, and has been so held by the Supreme Court of the United States." NEGRO LEADERSHIP OF AMERICA AND ELSEWHERE Bishop Smith Is Ably Answered by Dr. Brooks, the Secretary General. The World's Work, a magazine gotten out by white publishers, in the December, 1829, and January, 1821, numbers carried an article from the pen of Mr. Tallay, in which the work and plans of Marous Garvey were explained and illustrated. The followers of Marous Garvey regard this as a fairly accurate statement. Mr. Tallay told the truth when he said Marous Garvey is the best point at which to study what is going on inside the heads of 16,000,000 cultured people in the United States. Census rushing into print one Bishop Smith, never in our lives have we thought so often of the saying that feels rush in where angels fear to trend, as we did when we read this letter to the World. Said Bishop Smith set up the argument that only 1 per cent of Americans-born Negroes are followers of the Garvey idea. He says that the best about the articles that can be said is that it is a spectacular write-up, and that the writer drew largely upon his imagination. After reading and rewriting the articles in question, the writer of this article is unable to find anything in Mr. Talley's articles that shows that he drew on his imagination. For business, the D. N. E. A. has two office buildings, at 16-48 West 100th street, New York city, employing more than twenty-five stenographers, managers, secretaries and other workers in the interest of the U. N. L. A. It gives Liberty on an 180th street, getting more than 1,000 persons. Mr. Talley did not have to imagine these things that they would be. But the good thing I know and I love with love himself is that a man can bequeathed his life, his joy and his love. (Howey wrote the last words of which he strayed and gave up the life of the jungle of the Amazon Rainforest. He wrote that he had been a man of great talent and that he was a man of great love. and that to his certain knowledge only 1 per cent. of American Negroes are followers of Mr. Garvey, and that only one of them is a national character, that is Mr. John R. Bruce, of Yonkers, N. Y. I am pleased to discover that the good Bishop, following his 1 per cent. idea, has found one national character, he certainly packed the right character, as Mr. Bryce is a national character and Garveyry from the letter "G." The Hea. G. D. Gordon is a national character, well educated, polished and known from coast to coast favorably. a large part of persons members of Mr. Garvey's movement and imbued with the Garvey spirit. "Let no man deceive himself, white or black." "The spirit of the new Negroes is to help redeem Africa," or reclaim this land that is his rightful heritage. The Negro born in America knows that he has not been treated right here and will help Mr. Garvey to shake off the shackles and fetters of slavery. Let no man think that we cannot trace our ancestry any further than the United States of America. The Ion. Witford Smith is one of the most reputable lawyers in the United States of America, about 30 years or more before the bar, about fifteen years of that time before the New York Bar. J W Eason is known nationally as a preacher, orator and business man. To not know Lawyer Mathews is almost a crime in America, a man who has been before the public so long and so favorably as he has—a man who took such a high place in athletics and in studies while in Harvard, and a man who has played a large part in politics and in social affairs of this country. Surely the good hispop ought to have known this man. A man in the day and in this age who does not know the erodite W. H. Purca, a Yale and Harvard graduate, is indeed an genius man. In the same letter the good bishop states that he had an hour interview with Mr. Garvey, and at that time he sought to impress him that his idea was merely a "wallow wisp." We are a little bit brave to believe that Mr. Garvey ever spent an hour so unwisely and with such little profit to himself and the race. If however, he did do this, we know it was simply a case of an earnest and honest attempt on his part to enlighten the dark mind of this bishop. Let us hope that the seed he planted in that hour's interview may bring forth some fruit that will show the bishop the light and redeem him. We fear very much that Mr. Garvey must count this one hour wasted on the new Don Quixote. The good bishop says that he has been to Liberia twice, and that it was not a "no man's land" to be exploited by any and everybody. No one has ever thought or dream of exploiting Liberia. Those of us who are going there are going in a most helpful spirit. The head of our organization is the Mayor of Monrovia. The good bishop wants all those who may be interested in Liberia to write to Dr. Lyons, who is at present in Baltimore. We cannot understand why they should write Dr. Lyons when they can get first-hand information from Mayor Johnson who is in Liberia. Whatever encouragement any one may have found in Bishop Smith's statement that Mr. Garvey speaks for 1 per cent. of the American Negroes is certainly the wrong encouragement, and it is misinformation, to say the least of 1. If the good bishop will look about himself he will find that hundreds of thousands of Negroes born in America are followers. Mr. Bruce is indeed a national character, a man of great parts and an enthusiastic leader. The manly man expresses the idea of Mr. Bruce. The writer is happy to find one thing, or at least one person, who agrees that if the good bishop will make a close and careful study of the U. N. I. A. there is yet hope that he will be saved. This statment about Mr. Bruce is one bright ray in the entire letter that the bishop wrote in the World. The bishop feels called on, to "deponent sayeth not why," to defend the American Negroes. There is no evidence that any Americans at any time have asked the good bishop to defend them against Garveyism or against anything else. The good bishop is apparently a self-appointed defender. He reminds us very much of the famous mythical Don Quixote who finally wound up by fighting with the windmills. The chivalry of this humorous historical character existed only in his own mind. As a matter of fact, at the time he fared forth to do battle for the protection of his supposed country men and women, there was no war going on and his battle was against creatures of his imaginations and finally fought against the famous "windmill." It appears to the observer that the good Bishop Smith seeks to get into history by the same methods as Don Quixote. The only reason given for Don Quixote's entrance into history is the absurdity of his campaign and the lesson that grows out of it. It is a solen warning to all would-be crucifers to abstain and refrain from entering into aburd campaigns. No such figure has appeared in history from the existen Done Quizote until the good Bishop Smith comes "warriding and a flourishing his lance," and the good bishop makes a sorry figure in the World's Work, compared with the splendid figure of Mr. Garvey in this same magazine. As a master of fact, we would have paid but little attention to the good bishop, but for the reason that the good editors of the World's Work seem to take him seriously. He seems to have dimmed the visor of the World's editors. They thought that this is a true champion of the race, but the dust from the animal that Don Quirrets rode at times obscure the figure of the rider, or practically so, and seen from a distance one would suppress it was a knight, but close inspection revealed the fact that it was only Don Quirrets, a would be knight. Perhaps the effect that the bishop occupies dimmed the vision of the editors, and they thought it was a true champion, but also it was simply a new Don Quirrets "riding on his animal." The good bishop speaks of his knowledge and earn according to that knowledge. There is only one national char- torial office, one of the places of America's pride that is connected with the United Nations. It also serves the birds of heaven of New York City and the world.

In answer to the press report of the speech of Tuakagee's principal we are inclined to say, in the language of a character in Broadway Rastus, "It may be so, but I doubt it." The papers say that Dr Moton says: "We should thank God every day for placing our race alongside that of the white," and that we are indebted to the whites for our language, religion and "countless other" wings, that the race got more out of slavery than did the whites. We know Dr Moton very well. We appreciate his peculiar position, but we do not forget the former incident of putting into his mouth words which he could not admit to colored people nor deny to white; hence our quotation "It may be so, but we doubt it. Every informed man knows that civilization is a matter of borrowed cultures. No race is out of any other race's debt, for they are borrowers all. Egyptian civilization extends back 7,000 years B. C. at which time the antecedents of the Anglo-Saxon were eating roots and living like savages. The Crusades, in the sixth century, gave people from Northern Europe the taste of a culture which they immediately borrowed. The age of feudalism was an age of barbarities, into which the priests introduced chivalry and a refining influence. Our gratitude to the Guide of the Universe for placing us next to the white race is due of the fact that we have been impelled to measure arms with him, to acquire his culture, to imbibe and to aid him in maintaining his form of government. As to our religion, we feel that the white man has borrowed as much from us in spirituality and the real test of brother- FAMILIAR FACES HAUNT CAPITAL The familiar faces that are seen in Washington every time a Republican Administration makes its advent, are still peeping around the avenue. No one can help but fuel the indignity that must come upon the race when Negroes—so-called leading Negroes—hang around in political job-hunting clans. It is to be hoped that the young Negro manhood of America will some day rise with the majesty of their color, indomitable spirit of pride, and stamp this indignity out of the political element of the race. hood as we have borrowed from him in form, ritual and ceremony. Language is a polyglot, and no people can claim its invention. The Bible was translated from Greek, Hebrew and Sanscrit. William Shakespeare and Edmund Spencer would need interpreters and an unabridged dictionary to read modern newspapers. There is one thing we have not borrowed from the white man yet, and that is a sense of solidarity and a respect for ourselves and our power to achieve what we plan. Until we get that we shall be the victims of propaganda and be placed in the position where we dare not say what we think. This much is true, unless the white man recognizes that we, the colored American, are the only non-white people in the world who sincerely and loyalty support and maintain his civilization, he will be at the mercy of some progressing and virile people. His own writers tell him that. Men must be treated as men on their merit, for by that method alone does civilization progress. Civilization is not fixed plan. From time immemorial they have developed and fallen. No nation has been eminent in art, literature and learning which was not first great in commerce and wealth. YOU CAN SAVE YOUR HAIR!

Every word in favor of Garvey was a nail in the coffin of Du Bois. Speaking of Du Bole, one of the most tragic figures of the day is this rapidly waning light that tried to reveal the soul of black folk. Like T. Thomas Fortune, the fate has doomed him to witness the sad picture of his own defeat. Tragedy of tragedies—Napoleon, living in the full possession of his senses at St. Helena; Wilson on during the torture of his most vivid dreams or immortality disapproval; Du Bole living to see the boys he scouted at, discouraged, and scorned, rising up and wrestling the tomb gt race leadership from his hands even before they had become attuned to the honor—these are just a few of the comic pranks which nature plays at the expense of her children obsessed with ambitions beyond their fitness. Discredited by blacks and whites alike, he wends his weary way to the (to him) too distant resting place of the weary sons of earth, heart of heart and soul, bitter against the world and himself. Benjamin Kidd is right. The secret of progress is the integration which comes out of the conceive power of an overwhelming social emotion. Herein lies the secret of Marus Garvoy's success. He is interpreting for the Negro, as no Negro has yet done, his social possibilities in terms of a captivating social ideal. Negroes—and especially the Negroes of America—seem to have as little interest in their promised land as did some of the exiles under Mossa. They have more interest in "the fleshpots of Egypt" than in the ultimate good of the race. To them there is no emotion more attiring than the self-interest of the moment. It was to that type that Marcus Garvey appealed in 1913; and it was from that type that he received his first dose of discouragement. But Garvey's is a spirit that would not down. He retired; but to work out his plans more minutely. And when he sailed forth again he made his appeal to the robust group, the basic element of the race, the type that was not suffering from "fatty degeneration" of the child to conquest; and his appeal struck upon anxious and listening ears. And in the short space of a couple of years Marcus Garvey has accomplished more for the forward march of the race than have all other forces combined since Enamulation. Now, wherein lies the magical appeal in Garvey's program? Strange to say, it lies in that very form of it which to the sufferers from softening of the "will fibre" appears most fantastic. We refer to the project of empire building in Africa. Why is it that the Jew, with all his financial prestige, is evil-enriched the world over without anything but a halting moral protest lisped by one or two idealists? It is because the Jew has no voice in the family of nations. Moral protests carry no coercive power in realms where the law of the jungle is the law of relations. Let us quote a paragraph from Mr. Talley's article: "What happens," says he, "Garvey asked, when an Englishman, or a Frenchman, or an American meets with illegal discrimination or physical mistreatment in a foreign country? No other people in the world except Negroes, he declared, are in the helpless condition that provides mutual protection of their individual members. With all the high-sounding platitudes regarding equality in all the white nations of the world, he asserted, the "nigger" will always be the "nigger" in the eyes of the white, the object of political, economic, social, educational and religious discrimination when the interested, the creature is the least concerned, the creature is physically mistreated when race pressures of whites are aroused, the elector is distranchised if and when there is the slightest chance of his race winning a point displeasing to the whites the animal to be exploited when white capital requires the fellow passenger to be Jim-Crowed even though he pays as much to travel as the whites, the human being to be segregated from decent living quarters and to be extirpated even from public places if pleases the whites, the fallow image of the Creator to be told that Heaven is the white man's reward—thus it always will be reiterated, until the Negro rebuilds his empire, reassembles his civilization and matches his mental and physical powers against those of the rival races." All other interests and assets being secondary and incidental, the solution of the race problem lies in the establishment of effective manhood. This is the simple philosophy of Marxs Garvey that has fired the emotions of over 4,000,000 Negroes the world over. It was the philosophy of Moses. The children of Israel increased and prospered in the land of Egypt; but their increases and their prosperity were only to be more and better hewers of wood and drawers of water. It was Moses who gave them the vision of a local habitation, a point of reference, a nationality and a name. And what Moses was to Israel, Garvey is to the Negro.

We can say after his tour in the West and back through Texas, where he was threatened by the opposite race, he has come back to Oklmulgee and rendered a series of lootures in and out of town in behalf of the Oklmulgee's division, and the great U. N. I. A. After Dr. Brooks' return the first night, Mr. Arnold was the speaker of the evening, taking for his subject "The Business Side of the U. N. I. A." After responses by Dr. Brooks, saying Mr. Arnold has learned to speak since I let him go alone for a few days, and that he shall present him to Liberty Hall on their return. On the second night Dr. Brooks made his farewell speech for the Okmugleme division, his subject: "As This Movement to Emancipate the Negro the World Over?" The next speaker introduced was Prof. Letwich, the president of Booker T. College, Booker T. Oka. Dr. Brooks opened the oyes of many people with his splendid eloquence and skillful climaxes, taking us through the shifting scenery. In his remarks he said that Marcus Garvey was the father of the U. N. I. A. And as he being the secretary-general, it seems that he might be called the wife, and that they had started a family, this family being named "The Black Star Line." The first child born was named the S. B. Yarmouth, and second the S. B. Antonio, the third the S. B. Shadyside; the fourth, though unborn, the scientist declares it's a girl child named before it is born. S. B. Phyllis Wheaty. The Okmugleme division is planned to build. Liberty Hall in the near future to accommodate its members and visitors, as it seems that most of the other places, communion. But the Okmugleme division believes in big-hearted men and women all over the world, and not like one of our preachers, who called himself a leader of the people and a small congregation, repeated with his feaulous heart: "I will never let another mess like that come into my church. I wonder if that gentleman did not know that this is the biggest mess the world ever heard of. Would he not stop and think that his face is black and his hair is nappy (curly), and that he is extricated, Jim-Crowed, dishonored, distranchised, and discriminative, on account of his skin. "The Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and the Mexican are honored and recognized as citizens of some country. Why? Because they have a government at their back. Abyssinia, that might nation of black people, that great government has stood for eighteen hundred years. Whenever they come to this country they are recognized because of their standing and protection. I think a man is very little in his view as a leader to call a great thing a mess, a mess that is employing over 118 men and women in his life. He has opened for many young men and women, and is still opening up in order to prevent our girls from being dragged down as servants, and boys from rolling around on the streets beating carpets, shining shoes in places they are not wanted. But this organization intends that every man should shine his own shoes and beat his own carpet. REPORTER. EASTER SUNDAY AT BURDENTOWN, N.J. SCHOOL Many parents and visitors were guests of the Bordentown School, Easter Sunday. The day was perfect and invited to strolling over the extensive grounds and along the banks of the Delaware River. An Easter program was rendered in the chapel at 8 o'clock by the students under the direction of Miss Edith Olivier. Visitors heard excellent Easter music. Rev. C. H. Brown, of Burlington, proclaimed an excellent sermon. Saturday the school engaged in an exercise under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Coleman. The eggs were hidden all over the grounds, and prizes were awarded to those finding the largest number. The glee clubs and band of the Bordentown School will give a concert in the Hillside Auditorium, of Montclair, Friday, April 4. Concerts are being arranged for Newark and Jersey City and other centers. On Thursday, March 24, the Iron-sided quintet defeated the Princeton "T" in a basketball game at Princeton. This is the second derestrict for Princeton "T" by the Iron-sided quintet. Score: Iron-sided, Bordentown, 32; Princeton "T", 16.

H. M. in the Prateral Advocate, Chicago, Ill. BRUCE GRITS COLUMN BRUCE GRITS COLUMN Though a little tardy is making acknowledgement, it is now none the less sincere if it is somewhat delayed, and I now express my grateful thanks to Senior Primitivu Ramires Ros, Cuba's first Negro Congressman, for the gift of a fine cabinet photograph of himself, autographed, which now adorns my den. Ros Senor is one of the foremost business man of Cuba, and conducts a large real estate business in Haina. He is also a leader in politics, and is rated as a clever tactician who knows what he wants and how to get it. Being a man who commands large wealth he is popular among all classes, not because of his wealth solely, but because of his genial disposition, his public spirit, and his willingness always to help those who are struggling to help themselves. Senor Ros is a race patriot, a big-brained, big-hearted Negro, and one of the finest gentlemen of the Negro race in Cuba. "He will make a splendid Congressman because he is a 'Jolly good man,' good wife and good friend. The Negroes of Cuba have cause to be proud of its char good-looking, good-hearted, race-loving Congressman, I am proud of his friendship, and if I could do so, I would vote for him at the next general election for a second term. The three Johns of Cuba are Senor Juan Gaulberto Gomez, who so ably and successfully managed the recent presidential campaign of Cuba's President-Elect; Counselor Juan T. Latapier, who was one of the three directors of the speakers' bureau, and Senor Juan F. Riquest, head of the literary bureau, who is always one of Cuba's rising posta. They will be the BIG THREE in Cuba's new administration under Dr. Alfredo Zayas. These gentlemen have worthily won the honors that have come to them by their loyalty and fidelity to the great leader and captain, who is to guide the ship of state in the beautiful island of the sea for the next few years. I indulge the earnest wish and hope that they will have smooth sailing throughout the voyage. The New York Herald announces that Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is a candidate for recorder of deeds. Why not—lauter she a voter? She is unquestionably one of the ablest women of the race, and would bring to this office a wealth of brains and culture and dignity, to say nothing of experience in official routine which that office has not possessed since Douglas and Danny were its occupants. Mrs. Terrell's selection for this post would be a grateful and deserved compliment to the thousands of black and colored women throughout the country who worked and voted for Harding and Cooley. and it will open the way for other ambitions and deserving, but timid, women of the race. Henry Lincoln Johnson, who is also a candidate for this office should gallantly step aside and give Mrs. Terrell right-of-way. If he does not, the black and colored women throughout the country should send a monster petition to the President demanding her appointment to this office. She is an useful, more useful, to the party than ten Johnson. She is a linguist, a scholar, an able platform speaker, a good Republican, a successful teacher of Negro youth, a cultured lady, and the wife of my old husband, whom I have known from boyhood. Judge Bob Terrell. She would make a public official, and I am reasonably certain that of which she pointed recorder of deeds at Washington the appoinment will meet with general apprehension by all classes and all political elements in the District of Columbia. Mrs. Terrell once spoke before the U. N. I. A. in this city, and her address was most enthusiastically received by the great audience that heard her. Let every Negro woman everywhere write to President Herding to appoint Mary Church Terrell recorder of deeds. I sometimes arouse the ires of my white readers (and I have a good many—both Jews and Gentiles, who occasionally drop me a line) and cause them to froth at the mouth when I confront them with disagreeable historical data, concerning their origin. They do not all of them reclaim the plain blunt way I say things in this column, and resent it in labored phrases. But I was born that way, and those who do me the honor of perusing my admirations will have to put up with them if they continue to read the "Bruce Grit Column." I am too old and "not" now to learn how to say things I want to say, and I am going to say, different from the way I've been saying them for forty years, and what is more, I am not going to try. I always endeavor to get the root facts, the ungetawayable truth, and when I have them I lay the foundation and build the argument. All "sacred oxen" look alike to me, no matter what their color. I think a white man is as good as a Negro and no better. Both are men and neither are exempt from just criticism nor deserved censure. The word white does not mean any more to me than the word black. I do not regard either as a truth, and so I am not superstitions about colog. A man, no matter what his race or color, is just a man, that that's all. A man recently arrived from England, told me a few days ago that the English Provincial and other papers are giving wide publicity to American lynchings and burnings of Negroes in this country, and that the Georgia murder farm aircities are being pictured in many of the London papers good. It would not in my judgment be a bad idea for all the Negro papers and magazines in this country to print in red ink under the caption "The Bloody Record." the names of all the cities, towns and villages in the South and elsewhere where Negroes have been lynched, shot or burned, giving the names of the victims and date of the occurrence. The English and French newspapers should be supplied with copies of these Negro periodicals every little while, that they may know what a fine type of white citizens Americans are, and how highly they respect law and order. Post these murder states in red ink and keep the "damned spot," the emblem of their blood lust before the peoples of For the past month or so there has been a great deal of activity among certain grewers at gambles in the city who have been playing hide and seek with each other, so with the public. It now appears that they have been trying to apprehend who they are and where they are at and have ultimately discovered that they are a band of some kind of Mosque and that the "Relishbreakers of old" have begun the next evening of days that they came from nowhere and are headed for the same place. These evil spirits of Mosque (there are or were several groups of them each claiming to be regularly for some time been "fighting like devils for duplication and batting each other for the love of God." They are not numerous as to numbers, but from the noise they have been making, one would suppose that they are lagging. They have discovered that division is weakness—and the warring factions have come together, buried their most ase and blackouts and have decided to work together in peace and harmony as "clandestine members of a ramp body calling itself King Solomon's Grand Lodge of A. P. A. Mossey." We warn the public that they be deceived by these hardfenders who are playing with fire, and will get their fingers burned badly if they continue to tempt fate. The only regular body of Negro Mosons in this State is the Negro Hall Mosons.

They say my race has been set free. That slavery days are gone. And that where civilized man leads I too may follow on. Ah! will the hand that bound my sire Help me to reach the goal Of freedom? Or will my bark wreck On some unforeseen shoal? And is it true that freedom rules Where riot haunts the land, And that the race which has enslaved Will lend a helping hand? I gaze upon the spires and domes White men's hands have reared— And, though my birthright was cast here. The hand that built the edifice That seems to brush the sky. He lit the torch and fused the bomb When black men ventured nigh. In enebly men have spilled The blood of unoffending slaves Until my veins are chilled. And so I look with mischiefness On that of which they boast! For back of every vaunted good There lurks an evil ghost. G. liberty, how many crimes Committed in thy name! And how the slave, that may not speak, Has borne the brunt and blame! Ancestral Pride. Short times in deep reflection, I glisse as in a dream, And recollections of the past Flood memory like a stream. The blood of nobles gone before Finds access to my heart. And once more, of my native land, My soul becomes a part. Souls to pass where Solomon buried, wisely in the past, And I receive his blessings The chains held my kin fast. Carved by cruel, graceless hands? I feel the accusing silence as, Outlined, there it stands. On that day we all shall see it. And the shadow which it throws Will be spreading toward the East As time draws to a close; And what joy will be in Heaven, Where no ill will is s'er shown. On that happiest, holiest morning, When earth's greatest shall be known The earth will quake and rumble. And smoke shall fill the air; All the world will wake and tremble, Tho' the righteous shall not fear; They'll stir and look about them With the sleep-mist in their eyes. To find their black brother, risen, Far beyond the glowing skies. H. ELIZABETH DOWDEN, 87 Cleveland Ave., Hartford, Conn. GET OFF AND GET A TRANSFER.

HUBERT H. HARRISON. THE REAL WOODROW WILSON. THE REAL WOODROW WILSON. [Note.—A book review should be a review of a book, not a review of a person. In the present case, however, a person is the subject of the book under review. In his effort to give his readers a grip of the subject the critic may fairly draw upon a wider knowledge that subject. In this instance he will, by the author's design, within the scope of his treatment, Mr Hale's book, from its very nature, is decidedly "personal" and that must suffice as the excuse of the present reviewer for the strong personal tone of this review.—H. H. H.] In 1915 after two years of the Wilson regime the present writer prophesied that Woodrow Wilson would go out of office the most thoroughly discredited President since Andrew Johnson. That prophecy was based upon what had been said and done by Mr. Wilson in the two years during which he had already served as President of the United States, upon some slight acquaintance with the facts of his career as a professor at Princeton and later as president of the university, and on his "History of the American People" and "The State." It was already apparent that Mr. Wilson was a candidate for the presidency no consistent relation to his words. Therefore, when Negro radicals like Randolph and Owen and liberals like Du Bois were for once agreed — in praising him and urging his re-election to the Presidency in 1916 — we kept clear of that temporary aberration. In November, 1916, Woodrow Wilson was re- elected President of the United States in a campaign whose slogan was, "He Kept Us Out of War!" Yet on Good Friday, 1917, he was asking a joint session of both Exxon and Congress to put America into the world war on the side of England. This war he had himself declared to be a capitalist's war, a war for commerce and colonial possessions. Yet he and his Attorney-General sent Eugene V. Debe to Atlanta Penitentiary for putting the same interpretation on the facts about a year later. Among his last official acts was his pig-headed refusal to pardon Debe. But Debe pardoning of him will blast the name of Woodrow Wilson in the memory of men for generations to come. During the time of America's participation in the world war Mr. Wilson rode on the highest wave of international popularity that had ever lifted any man into the heart of humanity. His fall from that tremendous pinnacle was such a fall as has come to but few individuals. "And when he fall, he fell like Lucifer Never to rise again!" It was this man who posed before all the world as a champion of democracy—this man who prated of "the rights of small nationalities," of "self-determination," of "the right of all those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government"—it was this greatest of all hypocrites who suppressed freedom of speech and of the press in these United States, let, loose upon Maytial and Santa Domingo the awful horrors of unlicensed butchery, and sold out the hopes of all the world for peace and democracy at the Screws of Veracilies in a final standoff with cunning crooks like Lloyd George and dynamically minded beasts like Cleonax. fore, it ought to be, it insuffilly will be, in his language that Mr. Wilson's real self will be revealed. If his character is to be studied, if an assessment of the quality and the record of his speech is reached . . . the investigator must go to Mr. Wilson's writings and the records of his speeches. And thither Mr. Hale takes his readers—with surprising results. He opens with a characteristic passage from Mr. Wilson's first magazine art. article, written in 1879, and finds in it 108 words, of which only one is a pure verb, while there are thirty adjectives. The casual reader will see nothing very significant in this until he recalls that the verb is so called because it is the word which represents action. When he learns further that the same number of words in passages taken at random from other English prose writers give Macaulay 11 verse and 2 adjectives, Ruskin 16 verse and 7 adjectives (and Ruskin is trophy), Carlyle 14 verse and 3 adjectives, Stevenson 14 verse and 1 adjective, he will begin to wonder what's wrong with Wilson. Mr. Hale enlightens him. Wilson is windy; he trims and dodges the vital issue of things which are generally found in action. Wilson abounds in plenomous tautology and tautology; in this fashion our author takes us "down the line" of Mr. Wilson's writings, from dawn to dusk. He has a special chapter on the "Aristocratic Affections" of his victim, in which he follows every trick of expression whereby this would be aristocratic writes himself down as a tremendous trifur, a fawning servace to aristocracy and a fawning servace to aristocracy. It is here that Wilson's worship of Britain and the British aristocracy appears in its strongest light. (See page 6.) As Victor Murphy has said, "Wilson is the greatest living Englishman born in America." He has proved this in many ways, not the least cestly of which was the way in which he made American interests subservient to British interests during the war—as Mr. Heenat has so frequently pointed out. We entered the war because, without our participation, Britain would have been well licked by Germany. Admirals Sims has already made that clear. Yet, on the conclusion of peace, Mr. Wilson left all the gains of victory—in treaties, territory, guns and merchant ships—to England. He kept American commerce out of Russia, while he waged a costly but ineffective war against that hard-pressed nation; and, in the whilemean, the British Government, which opened our commercial mail with impunity and stole our commercial secrets with the servile acquiescence of Wilson during the war, was lining up its business men to snap up the Russian trade from which we are still excluded to the great loss of both people. This role of Mr. Wilson as a conscious or unconscious lackey of British is not a recent assumption, as Mr. Halo helps us to see in the second chapter to which we have already referred. It was in 1879, when Wilson was 23 years old and still an undergraduate, that he published in the International HERE IS NEED FOR A Reasonable Undertaker GRABAIN Tour Service NEW YORK CITY Undertaker of New York Local C.

Information to hand proves that this man is not a prince from Africa, he is an imposter. It is now alleged that he is a propagandist receiving money to preach disunity among American and West Indian Negroes so that the educated Negroes of this Western Hemisphere may not concentrate upon the redemption of Africa, but allow the White Nations of Europe to control and exploit the continent.

And the frightfulness of that war of peoples which is due to be unleaked in the next five years can be fairly laid at the door of this collossal bounce-scrawler from the banks of the James who baffled his Venus' fly-trap with such seeming sheerness. The outstanding quality of Mr. Wilson's work is his ability to heart his heart from that which is on his lips. And the real tragedy of his fall lies in the fact that humanity has found him out! It is this divergent personality whom Mr. Hale* essay to analyse in the book now before us. But this is not the analysis of logic: it is much more deadly. It is the analysis of chemical resolvents working on the raw materials of personality as expressed in the utterances of that personality. We do not remember to have seen such a stark application of the Freudian method made in the domain of lettera, and its results are menacing to the peace of man of worda. If a man's worda, written and spoken, can be made to reveal the secrets of his immortal soul, then what hope have orators, politicians and writers that posturity will not know them as they are, rather than as they wish to be known? As Hosea Biglow put it. *Ef brains wus to settle it (horrid reflection)* Wich of our onnable body'd be safe? It is a disquieting thought on which we will forbear to dwell. In the publishers' sub-title, given only on the jacket of the book, Mr. Hale's work is described as "a psycho-analytic study of Woodrow Wilson," and since psycho-analysis (contrary to current opinion on the matter) is not restricted to sex-repressions, it is a correct description. As we said before we do not remember to have seen this method applied it the field of literature although *The Story of a Style (a psychoanalytic study of Woodrow Wilson) by William Bayard Hale. Published by B. W. Huebach. Inc., New York. 1920. Max Nordau in his celebrated book, "Degeneration," attempted a psychoanalytic study of; the literary products of Europe, and long since in "Renaissance Toward a Critical Method." Mr. J. M. Robertson made an attempt to measure genius, literary and other, in terms of the standard units of objective science. But these attempts fell far short of the scientific rigor and success of Mr. Hale's book, which, in spite of its thoroughgoing thesis, is so simple an application of the principles of Freud that even "the common run of people" to quote Mr. Wilson, may read and understand. The thesis also a student of Veblen, for the penguin phrases of that unnatively cynical sociologist are defyly drawn upon for ammunition both in the titles of his chapters and in many of his illuminating summaries of Wilson's chief defects. He begins by deser-him, the ex-President as "a man of words." What he has accomplished—and his has been a wonderful record of accomplishment—has been accomplished through statement, argument, and persuasion. His name is his-ton- pen; his sword is his-ton-ness; his cain is that of-words.

Review "an argument for the reconstruction of the American Congress and Cabinet to Conform to the English Parliamentary Plan." In his George Washington, published some years later and replies with "aristocratic affectations," he even went out of the way of truth to tell us that Washington "longed to be quit of the narrow life of the colonies and to stretch himself for a little upon the broad, English landscape." His little remarks that "Washington would have called England "home." Evidently, Wilson would gladly do so, either in his own proper person or on behalf of some one else. Of this mass of turfed rhetoric and clapped clap-trap our author tells us that: It is but slightly encumbered with facts. Hence the opportunity it affords for self-expression . . . George Washington is one, long ulong of the aristocratic virtue . . . The whole spirit and tone of Mr. Wilson's legendary story of Washington is so completely that of devotion to caste, that no scant quotations can convey a sense of the author's profound reverence for rank and the virtues of those who have it, his glowing gratitude to them, and his happiness in being permitted to write of them. He is never so eloquent as when talking of kings, and he never misses a chance to mention them, however, remote the connection . . . He falls, on the slightest excuse, into likening his figures to royal personages. He plastered Washington with all the proud appalitions and similitudes of majesty until (to use a robust Americanism) "he makes you stick." And, over all, is the pronounced worship of a servile soul for the top-dog, which in this case, is Britain. Britain and the British and, especially British royalty, are painted in a vivid, fanatic historical beddardhall which stands out as a mashable walls of Wilson's narrative like a pillar of fire by night. Incidentally, it is to be noted that the four volumes of essays which he wrote between 1885 and 1895 deal chiefly with figures in British political history. It is when Mr. Hale comes to point out Wilson's pet phrases that he really has him on toast. The man's predilection for "process," "processes," "counsel," "processes of counsel," "concord of counsel," "voles" and "tountains" is simply a disease of the intellect. Of that intellect Mr. Hale gives this cionion: "It must be said frankly and with conscientious seriousness that a study of Mr. Wilson's writings and speaches does not permit the conclusion that his is a high grade of mentality. . . His writings are marked conspicuously and obstructively by some of the signs often associated with subnormal intellectualization. The con- clusion, enspread is that among writers he ranks as one of inferior mental power." Whereby, speaking of Wilson's pathetic futility during the war, he tells us that, "Amistad the tortures of a world he can only allitrate and generalise and marshal still his ragged array of learned jocutions." It was only in a country where four-fifths of the college graduates are ignoranceuses and the reading masses too stupid to know how to vote in their own interests that the belied in Mr. Wilson's "ability" could have originated. Of course, he had been a college president and, therefore, (to use a lazy Americanism) was "supposed to be" well-informed and intelligent. But Mr. Wilson's ignorance is deplorable. On his ill-fated speaking tour, before he broke down, he declared again and again to various audiences that the Austrian Ardukhe, Franz Ferdinand, was slain in Serbia. He expanded on that assertion several times and drew several weighty conclusions from it. Mr. Wilson must have forgotten the little elementary geography which he learned in school or he would have known, as every well-informed and intelligent schoolboy knew, that Serjevo was the capital of Boenla, and was consequently, in Austrian territory in 1924. No wonder Mr. Halse remarked on "the astonishing unreliability of Mr. Wilson's most often repeated statements." At St. Louis on September 5, 1920, Mr. Wilson thus instructed an audience in the science of geography—American style. What was the old formula of Pan-Germanism? From Bremen to Bagdad, wasn't it? Well, look at the map. What lies between Bremen and Bagdad? After you get past the German territory there is Poland. There is Bohémia, which we have made into Czecho-Slovakia. There is Hungary, which is divided from Austria and does not share Austria's strength. There is Roumania. There is Jugo-Slavia. There is broken Turkey, and then Persia and Bagdad. "Well look at the map, mocks Mr. Hale. The "Bremen-to-Bagdad Railroad does not pass within some hundred miles of Poland, does not touch Persia, but does not touch Bagdad. Mr. Wilson neither knows nor cares. For at Da Mines he speaks of "Bagdad in Persia." And Bagdad isn't in Persia, in but in Asiatic Turkey, ignorance is bad enough, but deliberate falsifying is much worse. We have room here for one instance only. But that one instance will suffice. On September 4, at Columbus, in his first speech, presumably well prepared, inaugurating his tour to reconcile the American people to the Paris Treaty and the League of Nations, Mr. Wilson said: "I have been dred and am proud to have been bred, of the old Revolutionary stock which set the government up, when, after Washington, was set up as a friend of mankind, and I know—if they do not—that America has never lost that vision. Of the stock of which Mr. Wilson was bred, his father was the only representative, born in America. Mr. Wilson's father, however, was hardy Revolutionary, in the ordinary sense; the American Revolution having been accomplished, so it is understood, before Woodrow Wilson's father was born, February 22, 1822. But the Rev. Joseph Rogers Wilson did what he could to atoms for not having been present in 1776, by supporting leaders of the American Revolution in 1821, and of helping to set up the Southern Presbyterian Church in a convention held in the edifice in Augusta where he was preaching eloquent sermons in advocacy of slavery and secession. Apart from this participation in "Revolutionary" affaire the stock from which Woodrow Wilson was bred, and is proud to have been bred, had slight "Revolutionary" opportunities, seeing that his mother was born in England, reaching Canada in 1833, and that all four of his grandparents were Britains and all eight of his great-grand parents of Revolutionary time were born, lived and died in Britain. Mr. Wilson's emancipation from his subservience to fact, his perception of the essential superiority of the word 'o' the thing, is freshly illustrated in the above except. In a footnote to the above Mr. Hale saves: The brief biographies printed in the Congressional Directory and in Who's Who assert that the President's mother was born in Scotland. She was born in Carlisle, England. Both these sketches affirmed that Mr. Wilson was graduated from Lincoln in 1881. He would have been graduated from the University of Virginia in 1883, but fell sick in the autumn of 1880 and left the university without his degree. It must be borne in mind that the material for these sketches was furnished by Mr. Wilson himself. Here we take leave of this pathetic figure of man called by Fate to play a great part in the world's crisis and found wanting in ability, truth and virtue. We are told to others who would deceive the world and to that world which is so ready to be deceived. H. H. H. CORNS REMOVED DR. J. P. BAILEY REGISTERED CHIROPODIST Serviere Estate Prec.

Box 102 Washington, DC PHILADELPHIA DIVISION OF THE U.N.I.A.CELEBRATES EASTER SUNDAY WITH BIG MEETING Philadelphia. Pa., March 28. Tuesday marked a red letter day in the history of the Philadelphia Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its celebration of Master Day. The celebration consisted of a grand parade throughout the city, a celebration of early Love and Sisterly Affection, surrounding at the Dunbar Theatre where a monster meeting was held. The participants in the parade were his Excellency Honorable J. W. H. Bloom, leader of the American Negroes; Captain E. L. Gaines, Minister of the Legions, both of the High Executive Council of the U. N. I. A. heading the parade, followed by the Dr. Louis A. A. Francis, president of the local division; Colonel Robinson; Mrs. Estella Brown, president of the Lady Division; Mr. H. Vinton Prummer, Director of Publicity and Propaganda of the parent body; Mr. Bruce Forre, secretary of the Black Star Line; the Legions, Willing Workers, and the Black Cross nurses of the division bringing up in the rear. President Francis presided over the meeting, which was called to order at two o'clock. Every available space in the theatre was occupied, the audience numbering over 2,000 persons, and over 1,000 had to be turned away. The meeting commenced with the singing of the association's ode, "From Greenlands to Mountains," followed by the official prayer, "Not by Might, Nor by Power, but by My Spirit," saith the Lord of Hosta. A wonderful musical program was reordered, consisting of the following inlections: Selection by the U. N. I. A. Band. Recitation, Mrs. Lucy Garner. Solo, Miss Ether Robinson. Solo, Miss Grace Johnson. Solo, Cassellie. Solo, Grace Walters. the conclusion of the musical program, the president called upon the late president of the Hartford, Conn. Division of the G. T. N. L. A., to address the audience. She said she did not know she would have had the pleasure of meeting His Excellency, the American leader, or the Minister of Legionnaires, and that when she met such high officials on the platform it believed her to be her friend in her remarks. She brought greetings from the Hartford Division. She said it was indeed a great, pleasure to be invited to be here, not as a great speaker, but to see with her own eyes what the Philadelphia Division is doing, and it is indeed doing great work. There is no movement in the world so universal as the U. N. T. A. in that it brings into close touch the American Negro, the West Indian Negro, the African Negro, and the Negroes from all other parts of the world world. (Cheers.) For more than fifty years we have been crying out for someone to ease the sord of the Negro. We have accepted religion and we have followed it we have accepted education and we have got it into practice; we have accepted commercialism and we have got it as it is our privilege to do. But there is yet something that the mission of Negroes have been crying out for, and that has been unity. There has been no movement, no leader, that has put forth the thing that has given us the combination of belonging Negroes together under one roof, will give us one God, one destiny until United Nations Association can upon another leader the leadership of HI Excellence the Hon. Marus Garvey. (Charge) I am always ready and willing to render whatever service I can to your provider when he calls on me, and when I return to Connecticut I will tell them that Philadelphia is ahead of them. (Charge.) The guest speaker the president called on was Mr. Plummen, who said he gave that he was glad to be here and brought greetings from Liberty Hall, in New York, the Cradle of Liberty, from which radiates the sports of Negro patriotism which engulfed the globe. Mr. Phinney announced that he re-railed a white firm from the Tom. Marcus Gleaves that he had left Cuba and had survived in Jamaica safely and was resettled with open arms (Others). We in New York admitted him and so to Jamaica we were aware the British Government would arrest him. We said that he had did nothing but kill in Jamaica was big business and was him (Others). When invited to Cuba, Gleaves wrote to the British Government, expressed his concern that the boyfriend of the ex-servant, the boyfriend of the ex-servant, should go to duty at the Navy while he is still in the military. Mr. President of Cuba has informed the President of Cuba that he is leaving the navy to serve the He said he was rather pleased that President Francis had conferred the honor on him of inviting him to Philadelphia that afternoon, and that he desired to congratulate Philadelphia on the spirit that has been manifested by the members of the loca. division. Mr Plummer compared the rising of Christ on Easter Day with the rising of the Negro. In, that the Negroes, four million strong, have caught the vision of a carrying it on and on until within the years we shall have the four hundred million Negroes of the world bearing the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Cheers.) Dr. R. R. Wright Speaks. The next speaker was Dr. R. R. Wright, president of the Southern and Citizen's National Bank, who said, in part, that he was glad to be with the members of the U N. L. A. on this beautiful Easter afternoon, and that it seemed that God Almighty had made that afternoon for them. This afternoon, when the whole Christian world is celebrating the risen Christ, we are here celebrating the rising race. (Cheera) He said he was deeply affected this afternoon because of things personal. It was fifty years ago down in the Southland, just after the Civil War was fought, when John Howard mated a Sunday afternoon a great encounter of newly emancipated people, and he said to them, after hearing their speeches and songs, "I am going back North and I want to take a message back up North to the white and colored people about you colored folks down South. What shall I tell them?" There was a murmur and a whisper, and suddenly a little black boy jumped from his seat and said, "Tell them, General, I am rising." That was the prophecy of fifty years ago. I represent that young boy who, during those fifty years, has steadily built himself up and has come to the City of Philadelphia, and there on the corp of Nineteenth and South streets, has raised a bank for colored people, and given to the colored people of Philadelphia their first opportunity, not only to put money into a bank, but to own a bank. There have been only two great Negro movements in the history of America. The first one was started in Philadelphia in the year 1737 and is known as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the other movement is the Universal Negro Improvement Association, both organisations being owned and controlled by Negroes. (Cheers.) The U. N. I. A. is educating the Negro and inspiring him with the sense of racial consciousness, that God Almighty made him as good as anybody else, and when that is done, nothing is going to stand in his way, but he will be going out into the world to occupy. When he does that he will be emancipating himself, and I will congratulate you because you will be doing part of your work. (Applause.) On being introduced by the President Captain Gaines said in part that he brought greetings to the people of Philadelphia from hundreds of Negroes in the Southland. He was 'gad to be with them to celebrate with them Easter Day. He said that, as Jesus arose from the dead, some two thousand years ago, so are the Negroes of today rising four hundred million strong. (Cheers.) He said for over two hundred and fifty years we have died, and two and one-half years ago in the Antilles spawn a son of Ham, in the person of the Hom. Marus Garvey who, in the providence of Almighty God, has absolutely redeemed the Negroes of the world. (Cheers.) I hope soon to have the pleasure of commanding a host of legions from all over the world on the battlefields of Africa, when Africa shall at last be redeemed to the four hundred millions of the race. (Cheers.) Do. Katen Stanka. On Monday, March 12, following the demonstration on Easter Sunday, the judiciary of the Black Rock of Philadelphia district, headed by Mrs. Alice Katheen, held nines of the division, gave a dinner in honor of the officials. These present were as follows: His Honorary Most, J. W. W. Krasen, the American leader; On Right Most, Dr. J. D. Gerstein; Assistant President-George; The Right Most, Capt. M. L.

DETROIT DIVISION U. N. I. A. REPORT. Beginning March 23, 1921, the Detroit Division of the U. N. L. A. & A. L. started to help in the feeding of that part of the Detroit public that succumbed to hunger. This part of our work is not confined to race, creed or sect. We fed thirty-one the first day and will continue same once a day indefinitely. Owners of restaurants and other businesses who know that charity covers a great deal of sin are asked to come to the U. N. L. A. hall, 1516 Russell street, near Catherine, and tell how they can help save the people from the bowels of economic gravity. Works of salvation are identical with the fish and the leaves, and life is a giving and taking, "today for you, tomorrow for me." J. N. LOWE. LILLINGTON (N. C.) U. N. I. A. Mr. M. Massenburg, president of the Raleigh Division of the U. N. L. A., and Mrs. Etta Pridamenda of the Raleigh Library Hall arrived here today. Never in its history has Lillington been graced with the presence of such distinguished visitors. As they wended their way to the First Presbyterian Church crowds stood on the street watching and welcoming us. We were greeted by their arrival at the church they found a large crowd assembled to hear the message of Garvielson. Mr J. T. Balleil delivered the welcome address, which was followed by one of Mr. Etta Allen's most beautiful solos, "Nothing Between." Mr. Massenberg was then introduced by Mr. T. Balleil. So great was the enthusiasm of the people it was fully five minutes before the speaker could begin. Mr. Massenberg said in part: "Mr. Chairman, Sons and Daughters of Africa:—It is a great pleasure for me to be with you at this hour. The subject I bring to you is 'The New Negro and His Purpose.' It has been said in past years that the Negro had no purpose and that he had nothing in common with his brother, but, after going 5,000 miles to make it safe for other people, we are going back to the battle, to the battle and to the fields of Mexico. So teach the world what freedom, self-determination and democracy mean. It is sure to be the greatest person delivered in Lillington. Mr. Massenburg is a young man with sterling qualities and a pleasing personality. It can well be said that he is the right man in the right place at the right time. After the speaking a division was organised, Mr. Massenberg acting as chairman. They raised $18 for their charter. The following officers were elected: Lillington Division, U. N. I. A.—Mr. J. T. Balley, president; Mr. A. J. Ragland, vice-president; Mr. A. G. McLean, treasurer; Mr. Sandy Patterson, secretary; Mr. J. D. Ragland, chairman trustee board. Ladies' Division—Mrs. Flora McLean, president; Mrs. Maria Bailey, secretary. HOWARD BAILEY, Reporter. MONTREAL NOTES. Grand Palm Sunday Celebration—Best Attendance in Association's History. Palm Sunday was celebrated with much real enthusiasm. The hall was filled beyond seating capacity. The proceedings began at 1:15. The most attractive feature was the presence of the Black Cross nurses, directed by the Rev. Dr. James Ladies' division. Dyall's orchestra furnished delightful music. All present were pleased and indications of a bright future were evident. It was an afternoon of impressiveness. An excellent program was rendered, which was opened with the "Chimes," by Mrs. E. Gibson. This was followed by "Onward, Christian Soldiers," and the "Procesional March," in which the Union Congregational Choir, the Black Cross Nurses, President and Lady President, and the members of the executive participated. The nature of the celebration was the large gathering dispersed expressing much satisfaction and appreciation of the good work performed by President Potter. Messrs. Watson and Walton smoke briskly and abbr. The program was as follows: 1. "Chimes" ... Mrs. E. Gibson 2. "Onward Christian Soldiers" and Prayer. 3. "Greenland's Icy Mountains." 4.

It was the largest at- tendance that responded to the we- dow of the Great Beach. We are The Right Hon. Assistant Secretary J. B. Yearwood Addressed Three Meetings, Paid Tribute to Marcus Garvey and Removed Top of the House With His Oratory. Prof. Yearwood on reaching Trenton had some difficulty as it would appear that some imposer had misrepresented the association, and the authorities had sent the police and stopped the meeting. Accompanied by Mr. Beales, chief clerk of the Parent Body, he immediately went to the police station and asked an interviewer back in the place of meeting where hundreds stood awaiting. He held three meetings and many members were made. In making his first address he said:— Mr. Chairman, Officer, Members and Friends of the Trenton Division, it affords me an unusual degree of pleasure this afternoon to be with you for the first time, and especially on this auspicious occasion, a day which you have set aside to have two meetings and have conferred the honor on me to speak at both, and in the latter to unveil your chirt. In comfy here this afternoon, I bring you greetings from the Parent Body, whose love for your progress, whose love for your freedom passeth the understanding of men, and I further assure you that already you have occupied a similar position in her heart as even New York 'local' first of all Divisions. I regret this afternoon, the inconvenience to which you have been put through detention or meeting, but there is a time for everything, that inconvenience has been victoriously overcome, and as a proof of same we shall now have three meetings. (Cheers.) Last Sunday I had the pleasure of addressing the Brooklyn Division which is progressing by leaps and bounds under the leadership of the Hon. R. J. Austin. So rapid is the progress of that division, that many are thinking Philadelphia, who took the lead in the Black Cross at the last convention, and even New York who called the convention shall make advance to Brooklyn for 1921. (Cheers.) I hope that Trenton—the Capital Division of New Jersey shall not be divided at the convention, but shall inscribe our proud name on the ladder of fame. (Cheers.) Progress. The subject I will speak to speak on this afternoon is of vital importance to the Negro; its virtues are found in the teachings of the U. N. I. A., and may be defined as "progress," which means go forward, advance and continue to go forward! This is the stamina which many of our Negroes need today, same being the slogan of the U. N. I. A. (Cheers.) It appears to be the propensity of many among our race that if they meet failure, they stop, and what happens? Your progress is deterred; and, on the other hand, if his ideas are different to yours, he severs his relation with you. Not only does he hamper your progress, but hundreds of others, that is what many of our so-called leaders have done for their self aggrandisement. Pessimists. On the other hand, there are many pessimists, in this race of ours, who want nothing for racial uplift, but simply lose. Castle remarks and used their influence to keep others off. Such people have a twofold alm and belong to the old school class of Negroes. (Cheers.) One-half prefers the race to group in darkness, while they continue as parasites; the other receiving the ribes at the expense of his unfortunate brother. This happens, however, to the old school class of Negroes, as he feels that evil overshadows good—but today the U. N. I. A. has stood the searchlight; it has stood the acid test; it has rebounded cannons; it has been organized by a new Negro. Its platform is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. (Cheers.) In this world good clauses with evil; that is how things have been ordered from on High, the "Yes" and the "No." The "No" of the doubling mind against the "Yes" of the creative mind. The "No" of the pessimist against the "Yes" of the optimist; the "No" of the unbeliever against the "Yes" of the champion of faith; the "Yes" of heavens and the U. N. I. A. against the "No" of hell and any of her living subjects. (Cheersa. One of us has received appointed roles from on High. yours as supporters and those leaders as the U. N. I. A. I. as one of your humble servants, and Garvey as your leader. We must all, however, build on God's assistance. Doubt is the greatest ingratiatus to the Lord. (Cheersa.) Therefore, you must shake off your pessimism, arise out of your lethargy, awake—go forward in the strength and in progress, assist to raise the race to its former capability. (Cheersa.)

Brooklyn Division of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L held its Easter service in the meeting hall, 118 Myrtle Street, Brooklyn, Rev. Dr. J. N. Bridgeman, pastor of St. Saviour in ependem Epicopal Church, delivered an inspiring address. His text was like, from XVIII Corinthians, 15th chapter, 20th verse: "Christ is risen from the dead and become the first fruit of that they slept." Stating that in this present era the sons and daughters of Ethiopia have arisen through the inspiration of Jesus Christ, and their trust placed in God their cry is "One God, One Aim, One Destiny." The president, H. R. F. G. Austin, D. I. N. C., called on the members and friends for testimonials pertaining to the U. N. I. A., and what they think of the Hon. Marc Garvey, the Provisional President of Africa. A brother from Tagua, West Africa, with tears in his eyes prayed for the day to come when Africa will use weapons. Other speakers were Col. W. M.

A. members went to Pontiac, Mich., and found there a remarkable spirit of U. N. I. A in the midst of N. A. A. C. P. Pontiac is a city of about 30,000 people, about 2,000 of them of African descent. We went on invitation to attend an U. N. I. A. meeting, and found ourselves in a meeting called to order by the president, Rev. Charleston. This meeting was N. A. A. C. P. in form but U. N. I. A. in spirit and desire—only the president and secretary were N. A. A. C. P—throughout its whole duration. One of its members, a Mr. Ben Jinkins, got up and said: "Mr. President, we have been told that the N. A. A. C. P. would better our conditions, and they are getting worse. I know of several cases here—in Pontiac—where Negroes have been discharged and white helps put in their stead. Mr. President, if we were sick and taking medicine from a physician and not getting better but growing worse, should we not change for some other? What is the difference if we join the U. N. L. A. or some other, to better our people's conditions?" The people cheered him loudly and continuously as a result of their longing for the truth. I make no attempt to prophesy, but if there is any wisdom in the moving of events I can see my people bursting the chains of religious bondage, going triumphantly to freedom, that freedom which is the invisable will of the God. It is an abominable shame that the clergy should be brought to judgment in the open eyes of a people who once believed they were right and safe to follow. Priesthood, you blind old trembling leaf, will you bring a condensation upon yourself? Must the prophecy of Jesus Christ come to pass on you? Do you understand the following words of the God you profess?: "If thy eyes be double (if thy aim is self) thy whole body shall be full of darkness, and how great is that darkness? Ye are the salt of the earth, but if it has lost its savor it is good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under the people's feet." Priesthood, why you did not know that the 32th chapter of Ezekiel, 12, 13, 14, vs. Isaiah 1, 9, 20, ncis Africa returning from captivity! Progress. Peasalmists. ready booted and spurred to ride, and a million ready sailed and bridged to be briden. (Cheers.) Once you stood on the continent of Africa, as the most progressive and ingenious race under the sun. (Cheers.) We saw the great Ethiopian General Ezra commanding a thousand thousand men and then thousand charlots. (Cheers.) We saw civilization flowing the Nile and contributing to the culture, the now prud nations the earth possess. (Cheers.) We saw Rome bowing under the yoke of Carthage; we saw Germany giving way to the Negro in Palestine, Flanders and the Marne, and Johnson and Roberts bringing back the heads of twenty of the noble and stalwart Prussians. (Cheers.) England in the war of 1914-19 said she was not fighting for conquest, but for the rights of people. France said she was fighting for the preservation. America said she was fighting for the protection of people and nations, weak and strong, great and small. The Negro was told he would receive equal rights and facilities as soon as the world was made safe 'or democracy. He has been out; he bought, he bled, he died, but, he conquered; and on returning, instead of receiving democracy, he is now reaping mockery. We have made the world a fit place to live in; we have converted uninhabitable centers and communities into hygienic and habitable places, thus making the world civilized and fit for men. We have made the world a freak of circumstances over which we have no control, we find ourselves still parcelled out among the nation of the earth. Tribute to Marcus Garvey. The command comes to us. Man, know yourself. Therefore, we protest against the injustice practiced against us and in the reconstruction of the country. These are prepared to find ourselves among the recognized races of the world. Jehovah at one time called Moses and sent him to deliver the children of Israel, but today He is not calling Moses. He has called Marvel (Garve) (cheers) and sent him to deliver the four hundred million scattered and oppressed sons and daughters of Africa. (Cheers). Expressions are inadequate to pay him tribuza. He is certainly the right man in the right place and at the right time. He is indeed a genius. (Cheers). In making an attempt we must quote the words like those from the glowing tongue of Weldon Phillips: If you will doubt the courage of the Negro, go down to H. I. and stand on the fifty thousand graves of the dead. I will ask and ask them what they thought of the Negroes' sword. I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to the empire through a sea of blood and broken oatmeal. I could call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a coiler, and the state which he up went down with him to the grave. I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held Negro slaves. You may take me to be a fanatic. But if you read history with your eyes and not with your prejudices, when truth gets a hearing, the music of history will put Phoebe for the Greeks. Brutus for the Romans. Hampden for the British, Lafayette for the French, George Washington as the commander, and not with your prejudices, above them stands, the name of the prophet, the statesman, the soldier—Toussaint L'Overture." But, going yet higher up than crystal 'adder and winding stairs of fame, yet higher and higher, and dipping her pen in the consecrated blood of our forefathers, will write in letters of pure grid the name of the prophet, the hero, the KNOWLEDGE Increase your earning power and create BUSINESS B CRICHLOW-BRAITHWAITE "THE SCHOOL 2376 Seventh Avenue Offers thorough Course of Instructio STENOGRAPHY, TYPEWRITING, THE COMMERCIAL ARTISTRY (POR PERSONAL DESIGNING) ABSTRACTIVE ENGINE (For persons whose elementary HIGHER MATHEMATICS — AGEHIGH (For persons who desire to pursue INDIVIDUAL DAY AND EVENING CLARER ENGINE NOW ORGANIZING, ENKOLL AT ONCE assigned to published on request, COR any part of the world.

Treasurer. statesman and martyr, the cotragrean and indomitable Marous Garves; (Prolonged cheer.) Mr. Wilson, speaking at the tomb of Washington on the Fourth of July, 1819, said: "What we seek is the reign of law based upon the consent of, the governed and sustained by organized opinion of mankind." The blind rulers of Prussia have roused force, the little thought of, forces which, once aroused, can never be crushed to earth again, for they have at heart an inspiration and purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph." Mr. Garvey says, "What we seek is justice and a race's rights based upon the creation of God who divided the earth and endowed all men with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." (Cheera.) The Negro feels that he is oppressed, that he is a man and not a dumb driven cattle; that he should be delivered, that whether on the scaffold high above the fittest place where man can die and where he dies for men. (Cheers.) Fellow men of Ethiopia, you are therefore asked to take part in the initiative. The man with initiative has a quality which society usually pays a high price for. If Mr. Roosevelt had not had initiative the Panama Canal would still be on paper. He might have heeded other qualities, but initiative made him one of the world's most famous men. Men are always worth more than money; men can make or earn money, but money can only act through men; and men with initiative have the faculty to make money move. Alexander Graham Bell had no money, but he had initiative and it gave him money to establish the telephone work and to gain one hundred million. The possession of initiative in one man's life time gave John D. Rockefeller two billions. Initiative does not merely take a financial turn. It made Peary get to the pole. It made Stanley open up a conference to light the world. Through in Charlie Chisholm's human family laugh. Through in Pasteur saved millions of lives. And through initiative fellow citizens of Africa. Marus Garvey has founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association, established the Black Star Steamship Corporation, and the factories, and shall soon have business floating on the seven seas. Therefore we must help him and thus keep him balanced and make him effective, for the gift is more precious than any treasure that earth contains. This is our only means of progress, and generations now unborn will call us blessed. (Cheers.) Mr. W. M. Harrington took the chair. Professor Yearwood congratulated Mrs. Bertha Johnson, lady president, founder of the division, for the great work she had accomplished. CAPT. GAINES IN THE SOUTH DART UNIVERSITY IN THE SOUTH The Right Hon. Capt. E. L. Gaines finished his-yalit through the Southland, completed a division in Charleston, B.

Pearson, presiding the Ashville Division, and arranging made to speak at Mount Baptist Church on Monday night. This was a success; plans for a new division was laid and the assurance of a large division was given the Captain.

W. Williams, the sole mouthpiece of the division, is still throwing steam through cylinders, while Leo Whittaker is piloting the ship.

Gordon has been selected as agent for The Negro World in the division. Rev. Gordon seems to be right on the job. The only trouble is that he fails to have enough to go around.

Mr. Harris announced that he will attempt to have his manufacturing plant at Monrovia, Liberia. CHAPLAIN GENERAL'S DEPT.

The general objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League are: To establish a universal confraternity among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love; to administer to and assist the needy; to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa; to strengthen the nationalism of Independent Negro States in Africa; to establish commissioneries or agencies in the principal countries of the world for the protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality; to establish universities, colleges and schools for the racial education, and culture of our young men and women; to construct a worldwide community and industrial apparatus for the benefit of the race; to work for better conditions among the people; to provide industries and industries for the betterment of Negroes.

Dr. Alexander McGuire, the Chaplain General, visited the Chicago Division for the purpose of pinning on the Crosses of African Redemption. The great auditorium of the Institutional A. M. E. Church and Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church were filled to their fullest capacity on the occasion. Tuesday and Wednesday nights, when in honor of the man and the office, the costumed departments turned out in full attire to greet him. The band played sweet strains of music while the legion, juveniles, choir and the greatest body of Black Cross Nurses in the movement marched with uniform tread down the aisle to their seats. A program of music was rendered by the choir, band and the legion quartet. Speeches were delivered, by Deputy in Com. F. O. Bain, Mr. Henry Hodga, Attorney J. P. Harden, Lady President Mrs. Canon, and Mr. W. A. Wallace, the president, who presented all the speakers in suitable words. A long row of members was lined up on the platform to receive the married crosses, of which all were very proud. Many more will be ready later on to receive theirs. Dr. McGuire captivated, encouraged, entertained and enlightened the whole audience with his sound, clear and masterly representation of the U. N. L. A. Chicago has now passed the 5,000 mark in membership and is making a drive for 10,000 before the next convention.

THE RIGHT HONORABLE FRED TOOTE EXONERATED The Right Honorable Fred A. Toote, speaker, of convention, was conquered by judge and jury of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the city of Philadelphia. He brought a suit for criminal libel and wan out. Details will be furnished later. Pittsburgh Division, No. 61, Pittsburgh, Pa. The Pittsburgh Division, No. 61 under the presidency of Brother Jacob Shapley, is making wonderful progress. Our president has been sick for a few weeks, but we are thankful and glad to say that he is out again and on the firing line of the U. N. L. A. We are very much indicted to the parent body in sending to us the Rt. Hon. Fred A. Toote, one of their best and most forceful men, just at this time when we needed a strong, conscientious and upright man who will do his duty and not be afraid to place the blame at the right place. The honorable gentleman, we venture to say, has done for Pittsburgh in a constructive and financial way more than any other of the men coming to us and our only hope is that he may be able to continue with us until he has placed us on the foundation which he has started. We are praying that God will spare such men to our race as Mr. Toote and the Hon. Marc Garvey. We are suffering in Pittsburgh from the financial depression, but since Mr. Toota has been here our people seem to have made up their minds to make the supreme sacrifice and they have been rallying to the Liberian Construction Loan and to the Black Star Line in greater numbers than ever before. We are now preparing to go to Washington to see the inauguration of the Rt. Hon. Dr. Eason and our members are striving hard to have special trains chartered and we will be there. At our last meeting the Advisory Board found Mr. Wider guilty of plottings and recommended to the body that he be suspended for six months, which was approved. We now have electricity in our hall pro tem and hope to have it permanently installed soon. Mr. Campbell has been showing the pictures of the Black Star Lines and the convention for the last week, which inspired us along with the addresses delivered by the Rt. Hon. Mr. Toote on each occasion. Thanking you for the space allotted to us. Yours truly. THE CHICAGO U. N. L. A.

VERSAILLES, Ky. March 13—Richard James, negro, charged with the murder of Ben T. Rogers and Homer Nave, at Midway, this county, on Oct. 8, last, was taken from the Woodford County fall by a mob early this morning, and hanged from a tree, two miles from this city. The mob, composed of about 50 men, came to Versailles between 1 and 2 oclock this morning by automobile. A guard was placed around the fall and four men went to the door, aroused John T. Edgar, the jailer, took his keys and went to the negro's cell, where they overcame the prisoner after a short struggle. In which a blackjack was used by one member of the quartette. James was taken in an automobile to the intersection of the Frankfort and Midway pike, two miles from Versailles, and hanged to a tree. The trial of the Negro for the murder of Rogus and Nave, who were employed as guards at a Midway distillery, gunned and killed. The court ruled that Circuit Judge R. Stout that it was unable to reach a verdict. The jury, had decided that James was guilty, but could not agree on the penalty. The two guards were killed while defending the distillery from an attack by a party of armed men who were attempting to remove whisky James was said to have been a member of the attacking force. Although feeling has been running high against the neuro ever since his arrest, no threats of lynching had been conceived against him, held Monday. None of the members of the mob was identified by Jalal Edgar, NO PIE FOR NEGROES IN SOUTHERN STATES Harding to Shift Lincoln Johnson to Washington. By R. M. GATEG. WASHINGTON, March 13—President Harding has given informal assurance of his appreciation of the South's racial problem and does not intend to foist upon the Southern States the appointment of Negroes as Federal office holders. It has been learned that this informal assurance has been given to Senate representatives Southern constituencies. These assurances have come from Republican Senators who are in touch with the rapidly forming policies of the new President. Members or the Senate representing territory south of the Potomac have been awaiting some indication of the Republican policy respecting appointments of Negroes in the South. They were prepared to resist confirmation of such nominations, if made, but, at the same time, were somewhat confident that President Harding would not engender antagonism to his administration by reviving sectional and racial issues. As an index to President Harding's conception of the peculiar social and racial issues common to the Southern section, it was said here on good authority that the Negro Republican national committee from Georgia, is to be given a job in Washington and not in his native state. Johnson is slated to become the Register of the Treasury. With one or two exceptions this position for many years has been held either by a Negro or an Indian. Gabe E. Parker and Houston B. Teehee were Indians who have been Registers of the Treasury within recent years. Judson Lyons of Georgia was a Negro predecessor of these two men in the office. Johnson is scheduled to succeed William M. Elliott of Georgia, who was the first man of the Caucasian race to be appointed registrer within recent years. Mr. Elliott worked himself up from the ranks in the Treasury Department, which he entered as a clerk 38 years ago. Do giving Henry Linobin Johnson a well-paying position in Washington the administration in a same removes that Negro politician from participation in Georgia political affairs. It is hard for him to accept that. He had built himself up after that in the Federal legislature after the national弊端. EUROPE SPIRITUALLY STARVED; WHITE RACES ARE IN PERIL CHICAGO, March 22. "Had Europe the education standards of America the war would have been impossible. "And the revolution that followed the war would not have observed had your standards—democratic, spiritual and moral—been fostered in Europe. Such was the statement made by Bishop Nicholai Valimotovin, of Serbia, said to be one of the best known churchmen in Europe, in a speech here. His mission is to depict the European situation from a spiritual and political point of view, preach the doctrine of Christian unity. "This was the doctrine that during the war aabled man of different races and creeds to stand shoulder to shoulder in defense of the same ideals," he said. "Europe is spiritually starling. And all of its suffering, its Latter of man for man, comes from a darkened spiritual vision of God. The European university educates only the head, and the question of conduct is entirely divorced from knowledge. "American education lays stress on moral conduct and spiritual development; the schools of Europe, except in England, foster in young souls a spirit of epistemism and chauvinism, a selfish disregard of others. "Had Europe your educational standards I'm sure the war would have been impossible. The bishop said that spiritual and moral leadership, as well as material aid, must come from America for the religious rebuilding of Europe. "Europe has faith in America largely because of her coming into the war from reasons other than those of personal gain," he continued, "and it looks to America for this leadership." He pointed out that America cannot afford to disregard Europe's need because of the necessity for the preservation of the white race. "With Bolshovism on one side and the encroaching of the yellow race and the Mohammodans on the other, the white race is in imminent peril," he asserted. COLORED INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION'S TENTH ANNUAL MEETING BY CHARLES H. WILLIAMS Hampton, Va. April 3—The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association held its tenth annual meeting in Richmond, at Virginia Union University. It denounced gambling and advocated the development of physical education. It voted to become a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association to raise the school from $2.50 (to our current $3.00) so to carry out its developing program. M. T. Dean and Dr. W. E. Morrison, representing Howard University; representing Randolph, Lincoln University; G. W. Barr and T. L. Hickman, Union University; W. A. Rogers, L. H. Foster, C. W. Florence and T. L. Purcig, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute; J. R. Hunt, Virginia Theological Seminary and College, and Charles H. Williams, Hampton Institute—these men attended the meeting. The association, organized in 1912 by representatives of Howard, Lincoln, Union, Shaw and Hampton, aims "to promote the physical welfare of the students in colored educational institutions of higher grade; to foster athletic games and contests in connection with the same; to formulate from time to time and to recommend for adoption by the various authorities controlling athletics in these institutions such regulations as will tend, not only to promote clean, mainly sport, but to promote cohesion and cohesion, to adopt and enforce uniform rules governing all games played and meets held under the auspices of this association." Year after year, as the result of the influence of the association, the standards of athletic games have been raised, until the public, as well as the participants, insist upon clean sport. The appreciation of the Negro public is clearly shown by the thousands who witness the big classic football and basketball games. During the past football season at several games betting was common along the sides lines among the spectators. Students and even players are also said to have wagered their summer earnings. At one game, where students lost several hundred dollars, the officials were blamed and attempts were made, it is said, to do them bodily harm. At another game fights resulted over the official decision and completely broke up the game.

"The practice of betting if allowed to continue, will completely destroy all the good that may be derived from whistle competition. Many schools have started campaigns among the students to eliminate the evil. The association denounced betting, in no uncertain terms, as follows: "We recommend that this association go on record as being utterly opposed to the practice of gambling in connection with athletic games among colored schools and collages, and we urge the officials and authorities of the schools to do all in their power to abolish the practice of gambling by the members of the teams, by the student body, and by those in attendance at the games." The association stands for progress and is exerting influence, not only in athletics, but in the introduction and development of physical education in the schools. Recently a letter was sent to Negro institutions, urging the introduction of physical education as a part of the school program. Answers to many of the letters show that schools that formerly showed little interest in this work are now putting forth efforts to introduce it and to secure trained workers where funds are available for such purposes. Every school in the association has a director in charge of this work. The Virginia Theological Seminary and College was voted a member of the association. This school is building a gymnasium which will be ready for the coming season, and has in its emply J. R. Hunt, who is physical director. Considerable time was given to a discussion of the eligibility of playera, Howard and Lincoln have already qualified as Class A colleges, according to recognized national standards. Efforts will be made by the association to have the schools raise their standards of academic work. It is a question whether schools which are not doing collegiate work will be admitted to the association. The first big collegiate track meet, known as the Annual Track Meet of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, will be held at Howard University on May 14, M. A. M. T. Dean, formerly of the U. S. Army and head of the R. O. T. C. at Howard University, and now director of the department of physical education at Howard, will have entire charge of the management of the meet. Every school in the association will be represented by a track team, making this the biggest affair of the kind over held among Negro institutions in this country. PENROSE FAVORS BILL Washington, March 28.—Senator Penrose today assured a delegation from Philadelphia that he favored an equal rights bill pending in the Pennsylvania Legislature, of which Representative Aubrey, a Negro member of the General Assembly, is the author. "I see no reason why the colored man and colored woman should not be able to obtain a cup of coffee at Chilide if they want to," said Senator Penrose, "or for that matter, go to hotels, cafes, restaurants or other public places frequented by white persons. "The time has long since passed when there should be any discrimination or repression toward our colored citizens. They are entitled to their own citizens under the Constitution. The Constitution and I believe they are entitled to full commercial and political freedom of action, especially in regard to the public accommodations and utilities." Sonator Penrose said that he had assured his visitors that he would use his influence to get the Equal Rights bill passed in the Pennsylvania Legislature. "I am giall to be able to use what influence I possess at Harriburg," he concluded, "to secure the passage of the Equal Rights bill, which has been hanging fire too long. I am giall to assist the men and women of the colored race to remove the inequality and discrimination to which they are now subjected." PHIL H. BROWN GETS APPOINTMENT Phil H. Brown, veteran newspaper-man of Chicago, has been appointed Commissioner of Conciliation in place of the head of the Department of Negro Economics, a former branch of the Department of Labor, formerly held by Dr. Haynes. Phil Brown is the first colored man, whose appointment has yet been made public. Public opinion here endorses Mr. Brown's appointment highly. It is sure that he will make good.

Williams, the wealthy planter on whose vast acres the federal authorities and county officials discovered, the bodies of eleven murdered Negro Bambina, tearfully protests in his call in Fulton Town, Atlanta, that the entire wholesale murder plan was executed in a frame-up to "gut" him. Yet, the Department of Justice many, it is a strange fact that the eleven manny did hands were among the twelve who described conditions to them some time ago when they were investigating pencage charges against Williams. The twelfth Negro questioned in this quiet round-up of evidence is still alive—Clyde Manning—the one said by the police to have confessed to killing several of the eleven workmen. Held Motive Established. Thus, the authorities, contend, have established a motive to support the indictments voted by the Newton county grand jury against Williams. Williams is a huge man, and the Negroes who told the federal officers about conditions on the plantation appeared to be in mortal fear of him. It was this fear for his own life that caused Manning to obey Williams' alleged orders in killing his fellow field hands, according to the confession the county authorities ascribe to Manning. "I didn't want to kill anybody," Manning is quoted as saying, "but Mr. John Williams told me if I didn't kill them, he would kill me. I knew he meant what he said. He beat me its of times. I thought of running away then, but I ain't had more than 50 cents at one time for a year."—Columbus Citizen. NEGRO LITERATURE FOR NEGRO FOR NEURO BAPISTIS We have just received a shipment containing specimen copies of Sunday school periodicals prepared by the National Baptist Board at Nashville, Tennessee. This institution is the largest of its kind owned by Negroes in the world. Its founder, secretary and present manager, Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D. has demonstrated marked ability as a constructive genius. He believes in Negro literature for Negro children, because, as he contends, it will instil denominations and foster the same time it teaches the children theplicity of the gospel of the lowly Narranes and makes them 100 per cent. Americans. The National Baptist Publishing Board's literature is produced from printer's devil to editor, even on the printing press, by Negroes, and is, therefore, head and shoulders above any other literature from this particular denomination. What we received consists of a full supply of modern Sunday school literature, with modern methods. EAST LIBERTY DIVISION, U. N. I. A. GOES OVER THE TOP VIEWING THE U. N. I. A. MOTION PICTURES.

NEGRO IS BRANDED BY TEXAS KU KLUX Hotel Porter Is First Horse- whipped for Being Found in White Woman's Room. Dallas, Teenza, April 2 (United Press)—Fifteen masked men early today seized Alex Johnson, Negro, alleged to have been found in a white woman's room at a hotel, and carried him out of the city. After horswipping and branding into his forehead the symbols of the Ku Klux Klan "as a warning to other Negroes," they brought him back and released him. The symbols "K. E. K." were painted on the Negro's forehead with acid after he was lashed with a blacksmake whip. Upon being released near the hotel in which his alleged offense was committed, he was ordered to tell other employees what had happened to him. Fred D. Ball and Paul Jones, two newspaper men, were "blindfolded" by the masked men, blindfolded, taken along with the crowd in automobiles and commanded to act as press agents for the affair. Ball and Jones each received a mysterious telephone call to come to a department store corner for an "important story." The man who did the telephoning was so insistent that he finally convinced both it was not an April fool joke. They received no information as to what the "story" would be, they declared, but after appearing on the corner were met and taken into an automobile blindfolded. After riding several miles, the reporters said, the blindfolded were snatched from their eyes. A Negro surrounded by masked, well dressed men, stood beneath a tree, a ropa around his neck. A "trial" was then conducted after the manner described in stories of the followers of the dirty cross in post-Civil War times. During this "trial" Johson was alleged to have confessed. LOOK! LOOK!!
