Fire Indiscriminately at Pedestrians and Into Houses Injuring Several. St. Thomas April 10 - The peaceful Inhabitants here were treated to another sample of the bravery (1) and soldierly conduct (2) of United States Marines stationed here when on the eve of the fourth anniversary of American occupation of the island: a gang of marines on a rampage for several days, shooting at defensives citizens indiscriminately. These disreputable law-breakers were through the streets the first night, assaulting civilians and badly Injuring two. Rounded Up. They were rounded up by Director of Police Nolan and District Chief O'Leary and marched off to the barracks. About two hours later they left the barracks again, armed this time with rifles, bayonets and clubs, evidently bent upon attacking the defenseless men, women and children on the street. They marched through the streets attacking everything in sight, and when they reached the house of a man with a knife, they closed that night, the leader, upon seeing Mr. Gimenez a brother-in-law's head in the window, shouted, "Shoot that nigger" immediately a shot was fired through the window at him. Bullet Misses Child. The bullet passed through the window, penetrated the ceiling, smashed a mirror and entered a post a few feet from where Mr. Gimenez and child were sitting. After terrorizing men, women and children in the downtown section, the marines d rooted their activities to the Garden, where they let loose a veritable reign of terror The Salvation Army which was holding a revival meeting in the Savanne were routed by the attacking marines, who throw stones and other missiles at them. After the attacks, civilians picked up clips of loaded cartridges as well as empty shells in several parts of the town. The people here are at a loss to understand what caused this serious outbreak on the part of the marines. Some attribute it to the fact that the marines feel they can attack Negroes with impunity; others think that it was due to the fact that Governor Oman proposed leaving the island and that there was no restrain" exercised over the marines. According to reports, the casualties amount to nearly a score of severely injured civilians and several who received minor injuries and a number of houses damaged by rifle fire. Reports also state that the police were called off the streets, leaving the civilians to the tender morces of the brutal marines. SOUTHERN BRUTES LYNCH MOTHER AND SON Man Held in Poeage Shots Slave Holder in Deposition Jackson, Miss. 11—Sandy Thompson, stave on the penance farm of B. B. Dodson, white, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Rachel Moore, were lynched by a mob of crackers here last week. --- Thompson's body was found Monday last week swinging from a limb of a tree. He had been stripped by a mob after being shot in the leg, his body quickly strung up and riddled with wire. Mr Moore had been missing from his home for the past ten days, but it was only on Sunday that her body was found hanging to the limb of a tree in Rikers Island, fifteen miles from here. As year ago Thompson bought a how does Dodson with the agreement that he was to make payment for it by working on Dodson's farm. According to Dodson's account of bookkeeping, Thomson and worked for a year with her collecting the dust. Murray after afternoon Dodson went to the main house and declared his death immediately and demanded the body. He afterwards Thompson Dodson came and said he "saw" Murray after which he stepped to aid White Woman Found to Have Deliberately Lied as Shown by Testimony of White Man. Warren, Ohio. April 15.—The manner in which lynchings and mob violence are created was brought out in the trial and conviction of Mrs. Alta M. Koehler (white), who was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Ohio penitentiary for the murder of her two children on the night of December 5 last. In this day, December 5, Mrs. Koehleraggerged into the home of her foster father, Harry Haggerty, at Hubbard, in Trumbull county. She had a bullet wound in her left arm and a wound in the left temple. A few minutes later flames were discovered in the Koehler home and the two children of Mrs. Koehler, William, aged 2, and Warren, aged 3, were known to be in the burning building. Neighbors tried frantically to rescue the children, but without avail. Mrs. Koehler, given first aid at the Haggerty home, persisted that a "Nogro bandit had shot her." Efforts were made to hunt the "culprit," but upon investigation it was found that the trail would lead to the door of Mrs. Koehler. Harry Coller (white), 17. a frequent guest of Mrs. Koehler, told police he had heard two shots emanating from the Koehler home as he was passing and ran to the house to learn the trouble and called that Mrs. Koehler told him she had taken her children and herself and said: "My God. Harry, what are we to do?" He said he left her to summon aid. Later he returned and heard the "Negro handt story." At the trial, just finished. Mrs. Koehler, on the stand, testified that Coller was the bandit that shot her, but stated she did not have knowledge of how the babies met death. FAMILY ATTACKS NEGRO IN COURT AFTER ACQUITTAL White Girl and Family Start Rough House Before Judge on Bench While Court Was in Session. Frederick, Md., April 12 - An outbreak occurred in the Clement Court room into this afternoon, when a jury acquitted Charles Henry Dorsay, colored, of assault upon Delisie Tweedale, of Baltimore. The prisoner was struck by members of the girl's family, an inkwell, hurled at him, struck the Clerk of the Court and Dorsay was saved from mob violence by one of the judge Dorsay finally was spirited to jail and is protected by a heavy guard. Marcus Tweedale, her brother, struck Dorsay several times, cutting his cheek. Mrs. R. W. Rogers, a sister of Miss Tweedale, witnesses say, shouted: "It's a shame. He is guilty, and they are letting him go!" The room was in an uproar. Judge Urner stepped down beside Dorsay, and announced that the "law will protect him at all hazards." He ordered the court closed. Dorsay was hurried into an automobile and taken to the jail. Late tonight it was reported that he had been removed from Frederick to another part of the State. ACTED AS OWN ATTORNEY AND WINS NET AND WINS CASE Savannah, Ga.-Tom Jones, showmaker, is probably the happiest man in town today. He won a case without a lawyer in the Superior Court. The opposing side was represented by one of the leading lawyers of Savannah, E. H. Abraham, Ga.-Wilensky & Stone foreclosed a mortgage for $1,400 on Tolina's stock of leather and showmaking machinery before it was due, upon the ground that the defendant was fraudulently disposing of the mortgage property. A counter-attainment was filed. By an attorney for Jones. When the case came, it was found that Jolina counsel had withdrawn With what assistance Judge Paul W. McKenzie, counsel, objected to give A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race So-called Inferior Races Will No Longer Stand Insulting Discrimination. Flays Jim-Crow Democracy — White Race Most Irreligious. Dr. George L. Cady, secretary of the American Missionary Association, speaking before the Twentieth Century Club, denounced race prejudice against so-called Inferior peoples, warned of the danger of a Negro revolt in the United States, and declared that henceforth the world must decide whether it was to be brotherhood or war. "How long do you believe," he asked, "those 500,000,000 yellow people in the East are going to stand, hat in hand, bowing and scraping before the Anglo-Saxon as he heaps upon them his vituperations, his discriminations and his insults? China is bound some day to awaken, and when she does she will shake the world. The Japanese are practically the equals of any other class of men with whom they come into contact, yet because they save and work, want to get on, build their homes and have their families, they are called a menace to Anglo-Saxon superiority. Thinking for Themselves. "Then take the case of the black man. After 50 years of education there is being produced today in the South a respectable percentage of black men and women who are thinking for themselves, who have become intensely conscious of their wrongs and are demanding their rights. The feeling of discontent and revolt among them is such as you and I in the name of democracy must respect. "How long do you think that class of people, 10,000,000 or 13,000,000 of them, running newspapers, operating banks and owning property, are going to take the insults that are heaped upon them? We are facing a revolt of these people and of a race handicapped as no other race has ever been. You know how they are handicapped in industry, discriminated against by the labor unions and paid an unfair wage for a fair day's labor. "The jim crow car may be irritating, but a jim crow democracy is a lie. About 80,000 of these men want to Europe as soldiers, yet the colored race owes less to the American flag than any other race, and they have never betrayed it. "They are already in revolt against the nation that education for the Negro is that which prepares them to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for the superior race—the conception of the Negro's destiny which insists on it that he is to be a servant wearing a white coat and must forever be listening to the call of the white man, 'Here boy,' and 'Here George.' May Yet Possess the World. "The time is past," continued the speaker, "when you can maintain the world's peace by insulting discriminations against the yellow men of Asia. Henceforth it is to be brotherhood or war, and when the war comes, there will be dead whites as well as dead yellow men on the field of battle. It will be a mankind stand competition it is doomed. There is no moral leap ever discovered that can keep the world in the hands of a race which is shiftless, will not work and will not propagate its species. These so-called inferior races may yet possess the world." Elshop Nikolai, of Serbia, described the world as facing a greater emergency today than it faced during the war or before the war. He spoke of a "false peace, a seeming peace, a technical peace, a rotten peace." "There is no sign of peace in Europe," he said, "and Europe is perishing, stricken both materially and spiritually. Every country there is preparing for a new war—a civil war of the white race, not a world war. Europes civilization is white bullets but within it is a black civilization. Its first kalmar was Napoléon, its second brought on the war, and though it is out now the war is still going on. Napoléon is Napoléon, Europes is living today from a kalmar, still from a kalmar." Tomb of Charles, beyond all hope. PRESIDENT HARDING PAYS OFFICIAL VISIT TO PRESIDENT KING OF LIBERIA Expresses Deep Interest in Future of African Republic President King First Foreign Ruler Received, at White House in History of U. S. Wreaks Vengeance on Him Because He Dismissed Colored Girl Who Had Laison with White Man. Lulu, Miss. April 18—W. T. Bowman, fifty years old principal of the local school, was whipped by a mob and his assistant Henry Holmes, driven from the community last week. Trouble areas over Hattie Morrison, 17 years old, who was accused of improper relations with Walter Wilson (white). The behavior of the Morris girl was condemned at a neighborhood meeting by parents who felt that permitting her longer to attend school with their children was demoralising and an outrage. When Wilson heard his sweatheart was excluded from the school he proceeded to the building and informed Bowman that "Hattie was as good as any nigger in the community" and said he would see that the girl attended school. That night old man Bowman was taken out and whipped and the mob chased Holmes across the Mississippi into Arkansas where he escaped. Although he has a wife and children here he fears to return.

ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD PACKS LIBERTY HALL AT REGULAR SUNDAY NIGHT MEETING OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Liberty Hall, New York. April 11.—A meeting was held here tonight at which addresses were made by the Presidents of the various out-of-town Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who have been visiting the city in connection with a conference to which they were called by the Executive Council. There were present presidents representing the Divisions in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Youngtown, Jersey City, Roselle and other cities. Addresses were made by all-in which the presidents dwell upon the work being accomplished by them in their respective violinists, the growth of the membership of their respective Division, the enthusiasm of the people in the cause of the U. N. I. A., and their plans for the creation of Dixie Hills in their own cities and the aid they are rendering the public benefit. Among the speakers were B. W. D. Harper, of Youngstown, Ohio; R. J. I. N. president of the Columbus Division, Mr. William Cavanel, president of the Division in Roselle, N. J.; Mr. William Ware, president of the Cincinnati Division; Mr. J. Slappy president of the Pittsburgh Division, and Rev. J. B. Button, president of the Jersey City Division. MOB LEADER GETS ONE-YEAR SENTENCE Lynchburg, Va. — John Draper, charged with being ringed器 of the mob that stormed the Halifax jail on the morning of March 21, where Jim Coleman, a Negro, was being held in connection with the murder of William Rickman, a white man who was found guilty of assault by a jury in the Halifax circuit court and his punishment fixed at one year in jail and a fine of $850. The attorney for Draper declared the verdict contrary to the law and evidence and asked that the verdict be set aside.

S. presented President King to President Harding. Mr. King, then, presented the respective members of the Commission to President Harding, who in turn presented the Commission to Secretary of State Hughes. Mr. Hughes had met the Commission before, but diplomatic procedure required a second presentation by Mr. Harding for a mission course. A curdial and informer gave forages followed. In his briefs on which Secretary Blair followed him, "All the records that have been made and this was the very first time in the history of America that the rules of foreign country was revealed to the white House." This incident is nearly one of the most significant in history, as it was the presentation of the decree of Brazil on the reception the Commission made, which was widely followed. All other issues of the diplomatic issue of this country have been addressed by Secretary Harding. LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK April 17.—There was a large attendance at the regular Sunday night meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities Leges held here tonight. Every seat in the spacious auditorium was taken and the uniformed members of the corps of nurses, the Legion of Honor, and the Motor Corps turned out in full. Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, chancellor, presided, and delivered the principal address. "We are here again another Sunday night in this great forum—the foundation, the mother, the head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I feel tonight that whatever the president of this great association is—probably delivering superb, of the great speeches—he must remember Liberty Hall, the place where the Universal Negro Improvement Association stretches out his hands and others look directly to her," he said. CORRESPONDENCE Contemporary Comments which would be praised in the white man. Fourth, the Negroes who went over seas to save the white man's civilization from Teutonic barbarism and to make the world safe for democracy were segregated and humiliated even while they were dying to preserve the white man's civilization. These things, rather than the Honorable Marcus Garvey, caused the thinking Negro to sit up and take notice. What Garvey did was to form a great confraternity and mobilize the Negro as an industrial and commercial force. THE U. N. L. A. THE NEGRO'S ONLY HOPE IN THE WORLD Dr. Hollis says: "There is one social thing which is very hard for the colored man to understand. He feels that he is discriminated against and believes it is due to his skin. There is every evidence as we see in the West Indies and have seen elsewhere that cultivated and educated Negroes mingle with white people at certain social functions. A notable example of this had lately been seen in New York where a colored man, Charles Gilpin, a great actor now playing in the most popular piece of the season, "The Emperor Jones," was an invited guest at the annual dinner of the Dramatic League. White men insisted that he must be an honored guest. He was received and recognized because he is a great man. Art and science make no distinction in color." Editor The Negro World: After being privileged to see face to face the Moses and Aaron of our race and to hear from them personally the aims and objects of this world-wide movement, it is my intention to publish my opinion of the movement and its leaders through the columns of your valuable paper, feeling sure you will permit me space. To my mind the U. N. I. A. is the greatest world-wide movement that has ever been organised for Negroes since the history of the race. Its aims and objects are just and right in the light of the most irrational. The U. N. I. A. is the only hope that the Negro has left in the world, therefore its success or failure will either arm or disarm him. What Dr. Hollis says here is partly true and partly false. What we have in America is class prejudice as well as color prejudice. The English distinction between master and servant was brought over to America, and when Africans began to be imported as slaves, the doctrine grew up that the white man belonged to the master class and the colored man belonged to the servant class. And hence, when the Negro began to aspire for the highest things in American civilization, he was regarded as getting out of his class just as the servant is regarded as getting out of his class in England if he is too ambitious. Then again, the English objection to marrying out of class was brought over to America, and this was metamorphosed into objection to intermarriage between different races. In England we have objection to intermarriage between different classes and in America we have objection to intermarriage between different races.

Unless our correspondents will not charge advertising or other rate for publishing any news item that is of public interest. The ode of the U N L A. is inspiring. It has something that awakens the heart when it is being sung. It tells of something that is done, something that is doing and something that is still to be done. Authors dare to be faithful to Christenberg, and would not have been able to accomplish such a mastpiece. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are simply 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. The founder of the U N A I. H. A. Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey, is a man of genius. Taking him by picture one will say "his looks as if he has some reasoning" but taking Mr. Garvey personally no post could find words to define his stature, his physical build or his humor. At the sight of Mr. Garvey well may all Negroes say "This is the redeemer of our race." Dr. Hollis says again, "Marriage between the races is an entirely different thing. There is a strong instinct which can never be overcome in a mating of human types of race. It is not pleasant or agreeable to either race." But if this be true, how did the thousands of mulattoes in the West Indies and the hundreds of thousands of mulattoes in the United States or America come into existence? Were they bleached by the sun? From the past history of the Anglo-Saxon in mingling his blood with the colored races of the world, there does not seem to be any instinct against illegal mating of the races. The only instinct is against the legal mating, which is called marriage. In that is the inconsistency of the howl of the Anglo-Saxon who regards purity of race as their God. In the last analysis, it only means that some of the Caucasians desire to keep their women to themselves while they desire free intercourse with the women of the other races. THE NEW YORK WORLD AND BLACK STAR LINE. A NEWS item in the New York World for Wednesday morning, April 13, attempted to give considerable information regarding Hod, Marcus Garvey, the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line. The item made two misstatements regarding the Black Star Line. First if said that the first ship of the Black Star Line only made one completed trip. Such indeed is not the case for the S. S. Yarmouth made three completed trips. Our noble Aaron, in the person of His Grace the Chplain General, is indeed a true Christian, thus rendering himself the right man in the right place. He is an ideal orator. I feel sure, sir, that with the right "Hur" manlywill he perform his duty, not on the hill in Rephidim, but on one of the Cameron peaks, West Africa. In conclusion, may I say air: Then again, the news item in the New York World stated that all three boats of the Black Star Line are lying idle. That is not true. The S. S. Kanawa left New York on the Saturday before Easter for Cuba, arrived safely in Cuba a few days ago and is cruising in the Caribbean Sea, plying between Cuba, Jamaica and Panama. And our Chaplain, long live he, And when they in Liberia shall rule, May I be there to see. Dr. Hollis says again, "The only thing which will advance the colored race socially is by proper conduct. If a colored man can do any work well, if he is superior in manners, he gets social recognition. It may not be in the bosom of a white man's family, but it is on the street, in business, in the professions, in art and in science. A colored man at Tuskegee has produced some thirty-odd products from the peanut, some of them very valuable. That man is a scientist. I have spoken publicly that the young colored men here have not on the whole as good manners as formerly; they stand around streets in groups, idling their time and criticizing those who pass or drive by." Youre internally AABA, M. M., DOUGLAB Banca, Ortega, Cuba The New York World, as rule is reliable in retailing news. But sometimes it errs. It is said that even Homer sometimes nods. THE CONVERSATION THAT HELPS THE U. N. L. A W. are grateful to His Excellency, the Right Honorable R. II. Tolkitt for sending us a copy of the Bermuda Mid-Ocean for Wednesday, March 23. It contains two addresses by Dr. Austin W. Hollis head of St. Luke's Hospital of New York City and the copy by M. A. B. Grasn, president and chaplain of the Bermuda W. N. F. H. Two columns are devoted to Dr. Hollis' address for the Hamilton Parish at the Lyceum, Bailey's Bay. Over three columns are devoted to the address, delivered at a meeting of The Friendly societies of Bermuda at the City Hall, Hamilton, on the subject "The development of the Colored Races in Association With the White Boars." To the Editor of The Negro World: Sir: It may not be amiss to give expression to a few thoughts concerning our private or personal U. N. I. A. discussion—private or personal in the sense that it does not reach the general public from the platform or the press. An example of such discussion is that which is carried on by individuals in their homes, on the streets or in the places of work or recreation. There are two kinds of such U. N. I. A. conversation. There is the kind that hinders and there is the kind that As Dr. Hollis says, it is true that the colored man can advance himself by his own conduct and character and achievement, the same as other races. In the last analysis, a race advances not by what others do for it, but by what it does for itself. The Negroes' own conduct and own personality will have a reflex psychological reaction upon the Caucasian he comes in contact with and that will ultimately affect his economic, civic, political and social status. But it is not wholly true that talented colored men like Charles Gilpin, the actor, are given the recognition which their talent and work deserve. Mr. Robert T. Browne of Brooklyn, N. Y., has written a remarkable book on mathematics dealing with the fundamental conception of science, mathematics and philosophy. It is worthy of a professor of Yale, Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Berlin or Liepzig Universities, but while Mr. Brown's book has received generous praise in the press his real status in America has not been elevated. As a matter of fact there are two attitudes of the American Mind. One attitude recognizes genius, talent, work and merit, even though it shines through a dark skin, but that is the attitude of the minority of the American citizens. The attitude of the majority is to assign the Negro his social, civic and political status by the color of his skin rather than by his work as a man. This was seen when 800 female Caucasian employees of the Treasury Department of the United States protested against a Negro being appointed as Register of the Treasury. Notwithstanding the fact that the position only calls for a salary of $4,000 a year and that such men as Senator Blanche K. Bruce, Judson W. Lyons, Bishop Wm. T. Vernon and John C. Napier acceptably filled the position in the past. A paragraph in the former address is devoted to Marcus Garvey and over a column in the latter address. In this address, Dr. Hollis Aye, "In the United States one now begins to hear of the 'Negro Problem and Menace.' This is partly due to the speeches and writings of Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican Negro, who is teaching that Africa belongs to the colored race . . . Last August a great meeting of delegates, more than 3,000, met in New York. There was a tremendous parade. It was inspiring. Marcus Garvey was married and almost crowned. The infirmity was infectious . . . All this has been done against the influence of the church and the wisest heads of the colored race. Not only seems to want to go back to Africa to live, but Garvey's teachings are very inflammatory and his ball is rolling and he is gaining adherents and spreading race prejudice." (From the Atlanta Constitution.) THE WILLIAMS VERDICT. One of the most remarkable criminal trials in the history of Georgia has just been concluded with the conviction of the defendant. A jury composed of twelve good, representative white citizens of Newton county, seven of them, like the defendant, being farmers, have convicted a white man on a charge of murder committed under the most inhumane and revolting circumstances. The defendant was under investigation on the charge of peonage before these murders were committed. Federal inspectors had spent several days on his farm investigating that charge. We regret that lack of space prevents our reproducing Dr. Hollis's suggestive addresses. While we by no means agree with everything he says, his addresses are significant in that they take the Negro and his addition seriously. Dr. Hollis does not attempt to bellittle and ridicule his higher ambitions and aspirations of the Negro as Dr. Booker T. Washington, his backers and colored followers did ten, fifteen and twenty years ago. He does not attempt to underrate and to pass the Negro lightly by as the Nation and the Evening Post which were then has controlled by Mr. O. G. Villard, did of "The African Abroad" in May, 1919. Now here we come to the crux of the Negroes' position in modern life and society. Shortly after they left eleven, Negro laborers on the farm were mysteriously killed, and it appears that every one of them had been seen by and given testimony to the Federal Inquiry with reference to the peonage charge He is looked upon as a horse or an ape is looked upon as much as he is looked upon as a man is looked upon. He may become brilliant intellectually; he may become a millionaire; he may become cultured and polished in dress and manners; he may become a saint morally, but still he is regarded as a Negro and not as good as the ordinary white man. That is to say, in the United States of America and especially in that section which is located south of the Mason and Dixon Line, the Negro, whatever his worth or achievement, is assigned a lower social position than is assigned to the illiterate immigrant from Europe, the Hindoo, Indian, Chinese or Japanese. In a word, we have in America an aristocracy largely based upon color—a whiteocracy. This is a new idea in human history. The color line was not recognized in Biblical times. It was not recognized when Greece's star was in the ascendency. It was not recognized when Rome dominated the world. It was not recognized during the Middle Ages. It is a modern importation in human history and this so-called color question will be the acid test of modern democracy and modern civilization. Three of the murdered blacks were drowned like dogs with hags of rocks suspended by wire and chains from their necks. In Yellow river, in Newton county, just across the Jasper county line. The fact that the principal address of this eminent citizen deals serially with "The Development of the Colored Races" and the fact that Marcia Garvey and his movement was strongly emphasized in the three indexes that the Negro question is now not being laughed out of simply but is given a serious hearing. It also indicates that the internal Negro Improvement Association is the impressive spectacle Foundation that joins up on the Negro horizon. A Negro, Clyde Manning, confessed, and swore on the witness stand that he had not only assisted in the drowning of those men, under duress and the direction of his employer, the defendant, John B. Williams, but that, under similar circumstances he had sworn to not kill the other of the other eight; and he told the offender exactly where the bodies were buried on the Williams farm. Dr. Hollis says in the poster address: "In the case of the Negro a Negro, Negro, Marcus Garvey, is inflaming a people who are heart good, gentle through lily, and often shiftless. His ideas are brilliant and impossible and he is putting his race back and alienating the majority of all ill-informed men and around a race prejudice." In the quotation Dr. Hollis is putting the cart before the horse. One word that describes that Marcus Garvey appeared up on the scene is race prejudice caused anywhere in the world and that black men white men all over the world were living in perfect peace and harmony in personal brave and lion in the scripture. Dr. Hollis says that the child like confidence which the Negro had in childhood and because five years ago getting to be a thing of the world had caused him not create this situation—the only recognition he had was to this changed attitude of the Negro who was the patriotic and exploitation of Africa and the subjugation of the African slave and especially in South Africa. Thirdly the atherm of the Car The officers took him to the scenes of the murders, and the bodies were found exactly where he said they had been placed. Any man, whether he is white, yellow, brown, copper-colored or black resents the idea that the accident of birth handicaps him, regardless of his own worth or ability. That's what the oppressed classes have struggled against for centuries. The peasants of Rome struggled with the Patricians, not for special privileges as peasants but for a chance to rise because they were men. That is what the victims of caste prejudice and proscription have struggled for for centuries and that is what the Negro is struggling for. He does not desire special privileges and exemptions because he is a Negro, but a chance to rise because he is a man. The world longing, the world unrest, the divine discontent, the spark of manliness which has characterized the Caucasian races for centuries is now beginning to stir in the darker races of the world. The only thing unusual about the New Negro is that he is manifesting a desire to rise which men of other races and colors have manifested ever since man looked down upon the beasts of the field and felt himself their superior and looked up to the stars and fell his kinship with the Divine. On the witness stand his testimony was unshaken by the defendant's able counsel, nor was its truthfulness disproven in any particular. No more representative jury ever sat in a Georgia court than that before which this case was tried. Every natural inclination of those twelve men would have led to an acquittal of the prisoner had there been a shadow of a double as to his guilt. The only conclusion to be drawn is that the evidence was so overwhelming as to justify no other verdict than that returned. This being true, the members of this jury are to be warmly commended for the manner in which they sought to obtain the ends of justice. A few more such evidences of determination to let justice prevail in Georgia—it makes no difference whom or where it hits in high shoes or in low, white or black, rich or poor— What is the Negro's place in civilization? His place is where his own brain and brawn, his own character and conduct, his own deeds and achievements will gradually lift him to. W. H. F. helps the cause of the U. N. L. A. in their private discussion, even some well-meaning individuals — to say nothing of the narrow-minded, short-visioned, selfish, traitorous one-are liable to give expression at times to some sentiment whistle, would weaken the morale of the person addressed, and which, if disseminated, would tend to weaken the morale of a considerable part of the Negro race in its present effort to break the links of the Caucasian chain that now holds us down by grading, humiliating station. Our racialism in the product of the morale of the race that comprise the race. Various elements enter into combination to form the individual morale. Therefore, any private U. N. L. A. talk that tends to decrease the number and strength of the elements that constitute the individual morale reacts in a similar way upon our racial morale. Whatever weakens our racial morale renders more difficult the task of the U. N. L. A. in achieving its great and worthy aims. The physical and material forces must be supported by moral, spiritual and intellectual forces. Hence, we connect link between sixth-to-middle N. L. A. talk and the actual achievements, its objects. How acupuncturally careful, then, ought each individual to be as to the kind of sentiment he expresses concerning the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No person should complain of his personal inconvenience and sacrifice which his joining or support of the U. N. I. A. may entail. These should sink into insignificance when compared with the great alms of the U. N. I. A. The Negro must attune himself more and more to thinking, feeling and acting in the broader interest of the entire race, and loss in the narrower interest of self. The further we go in this direction, the lighter becomes the burden of inconvenience or sacrifice which our support of the U. N. I. A. may occasion. Not only should we not weaken the morals of any person by some untimely or disloyal remarks, but we should strive to imbue others by our personal U. N. I. A. discussion with burning enthusiasm for the cause and with an inflexible spirit of supporting the U. N. I. A. to a victorious finish. This is the spirit with which the trumpth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can be realised, but without which the Negro race is doomed to perpetual insult, oppression, subjection and ultimate extermination. Let us, then, in our private U. N. I. A. talk refrain from making any attempt or creating any sentiment that tends to weaken this spirit. All Negroes should strive to act in accordance with this ideal. The nearer we approach it, the more useful Negro Improvement Association in its gigantic, world-wide effort to make us a free independent, self-protecting race. WILLIAM B. BANISTER, Former Principal of Colored Schools, Contreville, Md. East Pittsburgh, Pa. the stains against the good name of Georgia will be wiped out. The time has come when the public sentiment of this State must fight for the observance of the law in Georgia, whether it be in doing away with the damnable viciousness of mob law or in eliminating grafting, official corruption, bunco steering, and all the other vexual practices that have been recently to an extent that has damned Georgia in the eyes of the world: Newton county has made a splendid start in that direction: JUDGE SAMPSON AND KAFFIR WARS Brewing Rebellion. (From The Black Man, South Africa.) Whatever may be against our opinion in regard to the policy pursued by the South African courts of law, it is as true today as ever that the law courts of this country are machinaries for prosecuting natives rather than means of discouraging vice or such other acts of disloyalty which in other countries have been so simply quenched. The remarks made the other day by Justice Sampson at Grahamstown to a native prisoner are remarks which serve to prove the foundation of the prejudicial system of law under which are people today are suffering. In the history of the South African bar such remarks were never made even by judges who were regarded as hostile to native interests. If Justice Sampson is an Englishman, we say such insulting remarks are a disgrace to his race who boast of British just principles. It appears that the loyalty of the natives to the ruling rather than a necessity to harmony and continual peace. The remarks of an aristocrat serve to imply that if the natives were to chine guns as the militias, it would be inconsistent to the militias for them to tolerate liberty that, as present, are restricting liberty to the convenience of the white man. This is the advice given to us by Justice Sampson, and we thank him for it: "The day of Kaffir war in this country is finished. The white man with his aerialophones and machine guns nowadays makes it impossible for the black man to fight him." Can he for a moment put his fiery prejudice in the bag and think of the amazing work accomplished on the battlefields of France, Mesopotamia and East Africa by the so-called Kaffir, who stood German aerialophones and machine guns which were more hostile John British, who defied German submarines and all their chemical instruments of death? Was it not the so-called Kaffir who swaled the American army, British, French, Belgian and Portuguese? Can you boast of anything that you white people have ever done without the assistance of the black man? If the Allies had not enlisted the services of the black races in the last great war you would not have had the pleasure of sitting on that bench. If the European race had not introduced slave traffic in the early days you would not have all the aeroplanes and machine guns you boast of; your civilization and national progress was for posterity backed up by the so-called Kaffir. European races without the black man their power is doomed; their power and civilization is rested on the black man. That is the whole thing in a nutshell. Remember that if your ministers, people who subjected the race, were armed with aeroplanes and machine guns, we would have sacrificed the last blood, we would oppose their militarism tooth and nail. God sent you to Africa to civilize his dark creatures, not to point your deadly weapon at our nose as you do. We always suspected that the law courts of this country were conducted more on prejudicial lines by magistrates and judges rather than on principles of justice in maintaining order and peace, but today we have heard it expressed by a man of authority. in the language of a man in the street, that unless we have aeroplanes and machine guns it is useless for us to kick against slavery and serfdom. If the Almighty God above the blue sky has the same sympathy for the black man as the white man, then you can rest assured that, as you were not born with aeroplanes and machine guns, we shall also have them. Give us justice and fair play before that time! (From New York World ) GEORGIA JUSTICE When last Saturday, in the State of Georgia, a white man was convicted of the murder of a Negro on the testimony of another Negro, it was for that soction a remarkable triumph of justice over race prejudice. But it was found impossible to send the perpetrator of this flendishly calous murder to the gallows, where he belongs and where he would undoubtedly awing had his victim been white instead of black. Therein justice still remained uneven-handed. Fortunately, as the Governor of Georgia says, Williams is still to be tried for the murders of other Negroes, and if found guilty "there is no punishment for the murder of an enforcement of the strict penalty." It is not a pleasant duty to advocate death for any human being, but The World earnestly hopes that if Williams is found guilty of any of these additional murders the penalty fixed by the law for such atrocious crimes as his will be inflicted upon him. For if ever there was a man who served as justification for capital punishment Williams is that man. Editorial Notes If any one disagrees with President Harding as to his views of the solution of the race question, the disagreement is not as to the immediate need of an immediate solution, but as the mode of procedure. Mr. Harding in his speech calls for a commission of both white and black citizens to study and report on the intelligent men down here in Washington, while they administer the President's stand, feel that such "commission to study lynching" would inherently deny an implementation and proper solution. Intelligent Negroes everywhere are of the opinion that we, that America, that all of us have long studied lynching. There is no need for further study or report. What America needs, and needs now in adequate legislation on the subject. The idea of legislation empowering the Secretary of War by order of the President to use the National Guard as a means of checking the barbaric crime seems to find fertile field in the minds of most men. Quite a number of bills have been introduced, both in the House and the Senate, against tynching and Jim-crow-sm. The majority of them seem to have missed the cure. They lack punch. They lack teeth. Congressman Dyer, of Missouri, comes nearest the point, of Missouri, with his credibility on the county and State in which tynching takes place, and brings the bill within Federal jurisdiction. Meddl McCormick's bill is a farce and doomed to be a failure. THE RULES OF THE U. N. I. A. May we suggest to the officers of the Black Cross Nurses, as well as to those of other branches of the U. N. I. A., the great necessity for closer scrutiny of the qualifications and standing of applicants for membership in allied branches of the U. N. I. A., the better to keep out the "irriff sometimes paid by the enemies of the attacker, with the view of disrupting it, destroying us usefulness and thwarting the purpose of our work," which was called into being? All applicants for membership in future should be subjected to a very rigid investigation as to character, respectability and willingness to conform to the rules and regulations of the U. N. I. A., and all questionable, refractory and disturbing elements now in any branch of the U. N. I. A. should be gradually weeded out, on the principle that the organization is more important to the race than any individual or any group of individuals bent on mischief and paid by its enemies to make mischief. Let the house cleaning begin. NOW-day! and let us have done with the recent outbreaks in Liberty Hall, by New York, another reputation nor character to bear. We can better afford to lose them, than the opportunity to do good work for the whole race, in peace, harmless and good will each toward the prize, and out the broom, and sweep out the rope!

Atlanta, Ga., April 18.—The starting disclosures in the John B. Williams trial and conviction have stimulated interest in peonage cases in Georgia, and the Department of Justice in Atlanta is called on to investigate four, or five new complaints of peonage every day, according to Vincent Hugha, head of the Department of Justice office here. Practically the entire time of the operatives is now devoted to work of this kind, he said. Some reports came from responsible white people" he said, "others come from Negroes and associations of various kinds. Livery complaint requires several days of investigation, and the ten men at work from this office are giving all their time to running down the reports. "Indictments on peonage charge, or on charges of conspiring to violate the Peonage Law, will be sought against Williams and his three sons at the first Federal Grand Jury session, May 4, in Macon. We will also seek indictments against a number of others at that time, evidence for which is now being prepared. "The State authorities will have the first chance to prosecute Williams and his three sons, but if any of them come charge of the State charges we will bring them to trial for peonage." He denied reports that the Department of Justice was negotiating with the three Williams boys for their surender and said that efforts to arrest them were still being pushed. "The Department of Justice agents have no authority to make a trade of any kind with the Williams boys, or any one under investigation or indictment, particularly under indictment by a state court," he asserted. "No promise of immunity from prosecution in the United States courts has been utter to any one connected with the Williams phone case. None is under consideration, nor will any such promise be made from representatives of this office at any time." Atlanta, Our Atlanta's first park for the Negro population will be thrown open on May according to announcement Saturday by officers of the Progressive Amusement Corporation, which is housing and financing the enterprise. The new park, which is rapidly nooning completion, covers a fifty-acre tract on South Perpore road, adjoining Clark University. Progressive colored citizens of Atlanta and other parts of the state beheld the dispute which caused the organization of the amusement corporation bid led to the construction of the park. The officers in charge are laying down for the promotion of State and county alike and are planning to artificially national Negro exposition—all to be held at the Atlanta park. WASHINGTON: James L. Mc has given in- forcement to the promoters in their offers to build and maintain an amusement park, and fair grounds for the Negroes of Atlanta. The Mayor has partnered with the promoters of the enterprise and has co-operated with them while the movement was inherited.

DECLARES ROWLAND THOMAS "I have just come back from the trial of a white man, fifty-four years old, devoted husband, affectionate father of twelve children, whom a Georgia jury found guilty of one of those murders and, by implication, guilty also of the ten others," declares Rowland Thomas in an article in the New York World. "And ever since I came back people here have been asking me if it was really true that the atrocious things they had read of had really happened and if that white man had really done them. "When I answered that the printed stories were true in all their hideous details and that in the mind of no man thoroughly acquainted with all the circumstances was there shadow of doubt concerning John Williams' guilt, my questioners still found it difficult not to palliate the truth. "Then, of course," they said, "the man was crazy. No sane man could have done that." "But John Williams was a sane man. More than that he was using what seemed to him wood judgment when he entered and supervised that wholesale and cold-blooded daughter. The laws of Georgia had put those eleven Negroes, in his power. But the laws of the United States had made them dangerous to him. They were evidence that he and three of his sons had committed the crime called 'peonage.' So he destroyed the evidence. It was only incidental that the evidence later destroyed him. The root of the trouble lay in the fact of peonage, and in the local condition, which made peonage possible. "Peonage was defined in court by a learned in later during Williams's trial as the crime of forcing a man to work out his debt by 'labor.' "These involuntary servitors on John-Williams's plantation were not the only peons in Georgia. Peonage exists on other Georgian farms, and in other States of the South. Georgia and the South do not deny it, or resent having the fact brought up for discussion. They only ask to be believed when they point out that peonage is not a Southern custom but merely sporadic in certain backward localities comparatively few in number. And in that contention, so far as my observation goes, they are justified by the facts. "I cannot speak for the South, but I can speak for Georgia," because I have information from the only man who knows. That is Vincent Hughes. Chief Agent of the Department of Justice, Bureau of Investigation in Atlanta. Every complaint of peonage arising in practically all of Georgia is brought to him for investigation. And Mr. Hughes says that out of the 155 counties in the State, complaints have come and investigation has uncovered possible cases of peonage in only six, lying in two widely separated blocks. "But the defense that only a few dollars were taken does not wash off the moral stigma attached to a proven charge of theft. One-case of peonage, in Georgia or elsewhere is one case too many, particularly if it results in what happened in Jasper county. How explain that? If John Williams is what he seems to those who have studied him closely, in all respects, but one a normal farmer, is not Georgia responsible? Georgia is responsible, just as much and in the same way as New York is responsible for the summons and drug purseage who scattered murder and misery among her population, John Williams and Topsy Hempel are both natural products of an ecotourism which could not exist if perhaps have were perfectly administered under the watchful eye of an always alert and watchful nalia. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1921 THE NEGRO WORLD. CUTION VIGNAGE LAWFUL, ES ROWLAND THOMAS ho fine and debt to the farmer is worked out This had system of letting farmers buy out prisoners seems to be a relic of the system of leased convict labor which was abolished about twelve years ago. Till then, counties had been permitted to lease their convicts in chain-gangs for road or farm work. The lessor paid the State or county $11 a year for each convict, with free renewals if during that period any of them got gick (died) was killed, or was so injured as to incapacitate him. The results are described by those who remember them as worse than slavery. Since a slave was property, it paid to keep him in good condition, whereas under the convict lease system the temptation was for a hard-hearted white man to get as many fresh Negroes as possible during the year for his $11. "This system of obtaining labor, I was told, was quite commonly adopted by some of the Jasper county farmers and may account for Williams exceptional callousness toward members of the colored race, whom he seemed to regard with less consideration than dumb bruises. When I visited his farm half a dozen dogs came out to meet me with a confident air which showed they had never been subjected to abuse. "The convict lease system was discarded because of its obvious evils, and I found the best element of the people in Georgin, both farmers and city dwellers, saying that the buying-out system must go too, and pointing out the Williams case as a horrible example of its dangerous possibilities. County Is Supreme. Until it is abolished, what happens to a Negro taken from prison to an isolated farm will depend somewhat on local conditions, for which Georgia as a whole cannot justly be held accountable, and from which the State cannot be relieved by anything less than a constitutional convention. "In Georgia, governor and legislature have so little real power that it is almost negligible. The administration of the law is almost wholly in the hands of local elected officials, particularly the county sheriff, and the judges and prosecutors who enforce the law and punish offenders in circuits composed of small groups of counties. On the character and settlement of these men the conditions in any given locality very largely depend. Georgia generally deplores the fact that the judges are elected instead of being appointed, and that the State is unable to supervise or control the activities of local officials. But, as said, only a constitutional convention can change this. "Probably contributing to the danger which indisputably exists for Negro residents of certain localities is the fee system of paying local judicial and law-enforcement officials. As long as these men depend for their income not on a fixed salary, but on fees, the temptation to run as large a black grist as possible through the mills of justice will exist." FORMER GOVERNOR OF SOUTHERN STATE ASKS JUSTICE FOR NEGRO Hampton, Va., April 16—Thomas W Bickett, former Governor of North Carolina, declared yesterday at the closing session of the fifty-third anniversary of Hampton Institute that "the Negro is entitled to equal and exact justice before the law, and the white man must accord him that justice or be false to all those traditions that have made the Anglo-Saxon race the glory of the world." Governor Bickett referred to Hampton Institute as a mountains and skyscraper from which are constantly flowing streams that make waste phones glad and afflict pilgrims, who come to Hampton for a new birth of message, faith and love. "The En Kino Kina," he added, "believed in the whaler, and that is why I come to all its all in North Carolina with all my joy. The new path leads the Negro to be follow in the path that leads straight in the door of the white man's existence." TOBACCO by Saint Bret Cured by Raphael Rancho, Glastonbury, Conn.

SALO will be issued by Michael Dearborn to THE STAR HAIR CROWER MF'R, P.O. Box 812, Greensboro, N. O. The value of the collection will be estimated by remembrance of its age and manner of obtaining, printing them being unknown to the world. The age of the library from its first collection was coequal with the first dawn of science among them. And had this immense foundation of knowledge been transmitted to posterity, the African world had had a history and a name. And I repeat with emphasis that the loss of the African library was a catastrophic unequaled to the age of the world, or bearing on the destiny of a people and a race. But the Museum was made the centre of attraction. The Saracen invaders surrounded the stupendous edifice, orders were given that not a rule be preserved the flambour was the weapon of attack, assault and fire was the command—when the accumulated literature art and science of four thousand years collection sent fire and smoke towards the heavens more destructive in its consequences than the world had ever before witnessed. The African Library, the repository of the earliest games of social, civil, political and national progress, the concentrated wisdom of ages, stood in flames, fourteen days burning, the buildings in rains, and the light of science and civilization for generations was extinguished, and Africa became a prey to aviation, importation and oppression. So enlightened, polluted and humane were this race that after the birth of Jesus, subsequent to the downfall of Egypt by the Saracens, the "Warning of the Lord to Joseph" was to take the young child and his mother and fuse into Egypt, and be thou there until they are all dead who seek the child's life. Nor can it be denied that the African race was that which the "Spirit of the Lord" meant because notwithstanding Saracen subjugation in Egypt the African policy, civilization and humanity still prevailed. Besides it is a historically known fact that Greek am. Jews were with the Romans in governor; and sentiments against this Messiah the promised King of the Jews, all conspiring for his deposition in the event of his coming. It will also be remembered that after the crucifixion and ascension that Africa was the only country which held prestige enough to send a national representative to "Jerusalem to worship under the Christian doctrine, as propagated by the scattered and terror-stricken apostles the Ethiopian sunuch, a man of great authority, and chief lord of her Majesty Queen Candace's royal treasury. One word more and I close a review already too elaborate; but driven by necessity to the defence of my race, duty compelled me to the point where I cease. Would any other race than the African, in the symbolical statues of the Sphinxes, have placed the great head of a Negro woman in the majestic body of a lion, as an ideal representation of their genius? If it be the glory of the white race to know that they have had these qualifications in sufficient measure to build upon this continent a great political fabric it is also the glory of the black race to know that they have had these qualities in sufficient measure to build a great political fabric long before the whites, imparting to them the first germs of civilization, and enlightening the world by their wisdom. And the most momentous extraordinary international conspiracy against the African race, which this moment commenced to expose, has never been by convention annuled not abrogated, and therefore, still stands optional with either party to continue or withdraw; it is fondly and confidently hoped that it will not be encouraged nor induced to continue by an equally extraordinary, if not momentous, official denunciation against that race, from the executive of one of the most powerful nations existing on this globe. And in behalf of my race, once great, polished, and elevated, at the foot of whose philosophy the learned and eminent of the world sought wisdom, as did Herodotus the Father of History," and others—may I fondly hope that another generation will not pass away till Africa, in and by her own legitimate children, given evidence of a national regeneration, breathing forth with fervid and bony aspirations in the religious sentiments of her native heart and beautiful words of one of her own native languages—All-Olorum Petina—The Lord has been merciful to us. And in behalf of my emancipated bretarea I. America, may the blessings of that God, whose signal promise must and will be fulfilled, despite political official anthem, rest upon the devoted head and in the holy heart of the most emancipated prelate, Father Felix, Archibibo, of Orkney in France. Egypt the Home of Religion EGYPT the House of Religion [Editors Note - What Major Martin R. De Laney said about Egypt's religion may seem extravagant, but Dr. Dexter J. Ender, the philosopher, on page 437 of his book "Social Institutions," said "Many historic indications cause us to turn our faces to the valley of the Nile as the arena of man's earliest self-awareness, the most important epoch in his history, namely, that which made him man. But more emphatically than any recorded fact does nature select the land of Egypt for man's primordial initiation into manhood. From the providential Nile hand reaching out of the unknown and feeding the dwellers of the valley arose its corresponding God-constituent, and therewith also began civilization. Ancient Herodotus tells us that the Egyptians were still in his time the most religious of men, though he saw them when they were certainly several and probably many thousand years old. Egypt is doubtless the home of the religious institution." Chaplain General's Dept.

Where the willow weeps the weary hours away That the blood of Abel stains their realms so gay. Songsters grieve as they pass by. Clouds police there and shade the sky. For the ghost of Cain has wandered by that way. Breezes that brush by the rivers winding shore. Murmur supplications that are heard no more— Whirlpools gurgle like the breath Of the victims sent to death— Where the slave trade thrives as in the days of yore. Where the earth is trembling to give up its dead— Where the peon dug his yawning, awful bed. There's a deathlike silence there. Poisoned is the very air. Where the blood of Abel has been sought and shed. Even spring, has lost the gayness of its bloom. And its blossoms feel the coldness of the tomb. Where the pit and where the wave Yielded the unwilling grave. For the victims peonage sent to their doom. Where the red man wandered by the rippling wave Of the Yellow River, while his soul grew brave— Where fond lovers row at eve— Lilies bloom—white loves grieve— Lurks the phantom spirit of the outraged slave. Winds in Jasper county sigh the awful tale— Captives' groans are mingled with their nightly wall. Where they went to ghastly death. Robbed of God's most precious breath. Where the Yellow River leaves its silver trail— ETHEL TREW DUNLAP. 3333 Wentworth Ave., Chicago. SAIL FOR GARVEY'S GOAL. Quit weeping—quit sleeping— It's no time to pause.

RELIGION AND GARVEY- ISM A SUCESSFUL PHILOSPHY IN PRACTICE By CAMPBELL MacRAE LEWISTALL Columbus, Ohio. April 10.—Opinion or judgment is divided among and between the masses and classes, the skilled and unskilled, evangelize and civilized members of the varied races of mankind throughout the known world on the subject of and object of the Garvey movement, or Garveyism. This is as it should be. While disinterested, uninvestigating members of the Negro descendents themselves, together with the blue-eyed descendents of the Caucasian race, are critically writing, laughing, doubting, questioning, the wisdom, the preaching, and the achievements of this idea, this purpose, this religion and modern-day philosophy, this movement. "Africa for the descendents of Africans," this universal freedom and liberty, now and forever, one and inseparable, for every race of a common ancestry, in the land of their forefathers, and wheresoever they may live, sojourn, or dwell, is succeeding right on. TOMBERTON It is succeeding because it is the practical application of the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth, government, and the universal unity in religion and philosophy by race of a common origin, in their social, political, industrial and commercial opportunities of life.

"I helped you roll your log, you help me roll mine. Do you realize that this is the only Negro Corporation owning, controlling and operating steamships in the whole world? THE BLACK STAR LINE, Inc. It is succeeding in every nock and corner of the civilized world like the Christian religion succeeded in the days of the Apostles, whithersoever it goes, wherever it is preached, wheresoever it is investigated and understood. Is capitalized at $10,000,000 under the Laws of the State of Delaware and is backed in its operations by the full strength of its organization with millions of Negro men and women in all parts of the world. It is succeeding because, like Judaism and Christianity, like the Magna Charta of the plain people, the protestant reformation, the Puritan reformation, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, in England, in Germany, in America, and in France were not the movements of the men who inaugurated or fostered or preached them. These all were the works of the first cause—the Creator of the world and of mankind—whom Christians all over the evangelized and civilized world acknowledge, worship and adore as God of the fathers of men and nations, who has "ordained one spot each raco should choose dominion over all." At par value of Five Dollars ($5.00) each at the office of the Corporation. It is succeeding in this great united Republic of America, and wheresoever it is preached because God has in His own good time called and put into leadership and counsel in the White House of this land the cradle of liberty and of peace and good will to all. His Gamallel, whose advice to the persecutors and false accusers of Peter and John in the days of the Apostles: "Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourself what ye intend to do to those men," were timely. AMERICAN NEGRO LABOR BUY·NOW! STOCK IN THE BLACK STAR LINE $5.00 PER S. 3 I/O SHARES UNIA Wilson Pass It is succeeding because men, women, and even children everywhere have come to know the universal truth of the ages: There's no place like home, whether it be the naked and barren woods of the Congo so made by plunder and exploitation, whether it be in savagery, and feticitism, or superstition, so it be free from the institution of lynchings day after day, month after month, year after year. It is succeeding because men and women can live no longer in happiness and contentment without the religion and philosophy of Jesus practically applied in church as well as in state. It is succeeding because before this humble inspired, unwelcomed founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League of the world there rose up a Douglas, a Booker Washington, a Du Bois, a Moton, a Simmons, a Grimke, and they drew away many people, and all, as many as obeyed them, were scattered and brought to naught. After these men rose up a Johnson, and he drew away many people after him, they also perished, and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, refrain from these men, "settle your factional differences between yourselves. Get right with God and His Christ, and let the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. alone, for if this counsel or this work—this movement of Marcus Garvey—be of men, it will come to naught, but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it, let haply ye be found to fight against God." It is succeeding because the defender of the faith of the Federalist fathers and the democratic and fundamental principles of the Constitution, the keeper of the forty-eight dwellings of peace, good will, prosperity, and happiness for each and everyone, whether he or she be spotted, streaked, or pled, lives in the White House and all's well with the world. We are making special efforts to add ships of large tonnage to the ships now owned and controlled by this concern. Will you do your part in assisting this, the greatest effort ever made to have the race rise to a position in the maritime world that will challenge the admiration and command the attention of the world. You owe it to yourself and to posterity to lay this economic foundation. HARDING EXCHANGES CALLS WITH PRESIDENT KING WASHINGTON, April 15.—President Harding received at the White House yesterday, President, King of Liberia, together, with officials attached to the latter's mission to the United States. Shortly after the termination of the visit of courtesy, President Harding returned the visit by a personal call on the Liberian President at the latter's temporary residence. When God made man He sent him his breath; but man—more man; by his actions—would have just think that he is the only owner for eternity. LEONARD BRADWAITE.

Cadertater of New York Loe 0.5 2 a ee ————— A man claiming to be PRINCE MADARIKAN DENIYI, alleged to be a sabre gris of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, is travelling through the United States lecturing to colored Pieple and asking for financial heip. This man appeared in iberty Hall, New York, some months ago and received a public collection from the Negroes of this city, stating that he was 2 native prince of Africa and that he was about to return to Africa to work in the cause of his people. 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 atnong American and West Indian Negroes so that the educat Negroes of this Western Hemisphere may not concentrate upon the redemption of Aries, but allow the White Nations of Europe to control and explet the continent. All Negro organizations and churches are asked to look out for this man. All colored newspapers please copy. NEGRO WORLD.

All the other races are seeking their chances, but the Negroes today are generally living themselves from this great association of the U. N. L. A. (Greene.) I can assure you that the U. N. L.

Hon. Marcus Garvey needs every Negro to do their duty, and for that reason he was bound to dance tonight, and he will always, wherever it may concern the U. N. I. a and A. C. I. Loud applause from all corners of the hall from the fundamental members calling him to come and drink whiskey for his noble talk. The cry was that we must have a good time, honor our Ruler darwey—for Liberia, Africa, we Negroms must reign, (Continuous applause). At this limit, things proceed satisfactorily and appreciating, also came to a close by repeating the Negrors national anthem, "Ethiopia, Thou Land of Our Fathers." I wish all readers of this paper to know that through this grand dance of the U. N. I. A. the president, Mr. Michal Alexander, has gained ten more new members. I can assure my good readers that the president here is worthy of his position and for that reason we are rapidly climbing the ladder of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. with a hope of gaining our future requirements and winning victoriously. NEGRO LEADERSHIP The Requirements of Those Who Would Lead the Sons of Ham. We must at once plunge into this subject in its broadest phase. Negro Leadership. It is not a national question. It is a question that knows no geographical bounds, and its leadership must obtain whatever Negroes are found. There are certain qualities and skills that Negro leaders; his acceptance as a leader of the race very largely depends on how outstanding these qualities are. Most of these qualities and qualifications are common to the leaders of all races. First, the leader of any race must believe in his race; he must find glory and greatness in the past achievements of his race, in the present day operation and in the future outlook. His faith in himself will be largely based on his belief in the Supremacy Being who guides and directs all other races. The leader of a race must have faith, unlimited, unbounded faith, in his own race. His race must be the ideal race. Whatever obstacles may be set or seen to be set against his race, he must be in support of him. There must be no mountain of oppression so high or sea of prejudice so deep that he cannot see a way to tunnel through or remove them or submarine his way through the sea or acroplans to that which will finally mean victory to his race. His vision for the future of his race must be so broad and so far-reaching that they can see themselves the foremost race of the world. He must believe in the ultimate trend of his race over the other races. If they are to be opposed by other races. He must believe in the happy destiny of his own race. He must believe in the achievements of that race. He must be an optimist; a parsimist may help, but cannot avoid the obstacles and must have the remedy at hand. Mountains and seas and opposition and prejudice—all the things that oppress—must be to the leader stepping stones that lead to success. Attached to his being an optimist he must be fearless, and whatever there is to be brought to the front he must tell it, whether about his race or some other race. He must be physically free from fear; his entire life must be devoted to the interests of his race. He must be the commanding force. No man can be a leader of a race whose vision is narrowed to one country, unless all the members of the race live in that country. He must be able to reach the cultured and to lift up the central figure of his race. He must be directing all classes of the members of his race. There must be no height that he believes above the reach of the members of his race; there must he no depth of knowledge, or power to which he will not descend or height to which he will not ascend. Time, space, obstacles must exist for him. All these things are a trend toward his ultimate success in the story of his work. He must be uncompromising, unfailing, unyielding; he must be uncompromising. Wherever racial leaders have compromised it has been to the detriment and degradation of the race. He must know himself, know the members of his race; he must believe in his race against all other races. He must have a great cause and so well present that cause other nations of the world, because of the justice of his cause or because of the might and ability of his people to listen—willingly or unwillingly. He must have a radial argument and facts and he must present these facts so we can arrest the crushed man and make the blood run quickly through the veins of those who had hopes the day would break. He must believe his race the equal of other races; he must believe himself equal to other men. He must be willing and ready to accept others of all ages from other giving races that will help defend his cause. He must believe that his race can stand, the old test, the test of racial inferior. He must have an awareness and know the causes. He must be a first judge. He must believe in native land and given land, and if that land is ill-suited by allions and oppressors, it is he must to drive the oppressors from it, restoring that land, recognizing that he has the resources for or his own living resources and more. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1921 bane or Lloyd George and other great white leaders have sing and still ring trust to their race. His sage must be as clear as an english, he must be able to grapple with any question that affects the race. "Faith in his race must be his slogan." To falter or to hesitate is to lose at such a time as this. He must be self-confining in whatever is for the race. Every great leader of a race has had some ideal, and toward that ideal he has worked. The white Englishmen of the Great British Empire on which the sun shines ever set, the French for the territory of France and whatever provinces she might lay her hands on, and George Washington and Patrick Henry for America. Eminent Negro Leaders. Emilien Negro Leaders. Very few if any of the Negro leaders of the past have aimed at, or aspired to, leading the entire race as such. In 1870, Haitibal the race was so widely scathed a new and harsh paleb was perhaps in that age the most successful leader of all leaders among Negroes. Another leader who must not be forgotten and whose praises must be sung long and loud was the great Haitien leader, Toussaint L'Ouverture, but the great Haitien leader seemed to have confined his leadership to Haiti, and while he did well, remarkably so, he seems to have made no special effort to weld into one solid whole the entire race. Macoe, the great Cuban general, must be counted among leaders, but, too, his leadership was confined to his country. Dumas, the great French writer, appalled by the racial leadership, and his racial identity was almost lost in the great cosmopolitan France. The distinguished Willmot Bydien, philosopher, linguist, and Arabic scholar of Sierra Leone, Africa; James Africans Afranas Hawkins, who attained the highest rank over granted a Negro in the British army, Rev Charles Mock, of Sierra Leone, an ecclesiastical historian; Sir Samuel Lewis, of Sierra Leone, the greatest Negro legal luminary; the Rev D. Ferguson, Bishop of Liberia; Sir Conrad Rooves, late Chief Justico of Barbados, the first Negro to receive knighthood by the British Government, were all great leaders. The Hon. D. William Wells, speaker of the Legislative Council of Gronada, and Alexander Dixon and Charles P Laxation, of Amalica, the former a member of the council, the latter one time Mayor of Gronada, Charles Newbold, Mayor of the post of Spain, Trinidad; John William Roberts, theologian of Antigua; Henry Christopher, King of Haiti, and Toussaint L'Ouverture, before mentioned; George Anderson, in the legal world; Dr. Herbert, in the medical world; Kinsell Joseph, in the musical world; Dr. McFarland, the Shakespeare in the world of church and literature in British Gutana; Christopher Attuocks, of U. S. A. in revolutionary fame; Frederick Douglas, the noblest Roman of them all in his day; Booker T. Washington, of industrial fame; Prince Hall, who founded the Free and Accepted Order of Masons—all of these men great and mighty in their day wrought wonderfully well. A. Trotter, 'U. S. A.; Duse Mohamed All, of Great Britain; Fortune, Pinchback, Jernigan, of the racial congress; Henry Lincoln Johnson, of political fame, and the editors, chilts and kings of Africa of today, none of them seem to have had world wide racial leadership in mind. If no, they have not given voice to it. They have worked in their own countries or territories, but the leader of today must bring solidarity and with solidarity comes racial pride, racial achievements, racial glory, a nation born in a day. With racial defense as a preparation against offense by enemies must come racial security and with racial security must come governmental security. For the outgrowth of racial solidarity is inevitably a government. We are not unmindful of the great noble and mighty Dr. Dubois, but his speeches, his writings have not measured up to the idea of unification of the 100,000,000 Negroes in the United States. There parenty a leading and a tendency on his port toward racial cohesion, but it is not sufficiently set up in his articles and his writings and before he could crystallize, if he intended to do, on the idea of racial unity, another has appeared on the scene, whose vision includes and embarasses the type of leader that Negroes must have now. He is one Marcus Garvey, the man of the hour, the leader of leaders, whose spirit of nation building, of racial pride has so permeated his leitantes and his followers that they stand solidly behind him. His one God, one atm, one dignity has become the slogan of the racially conscious Negroes of the world. His slogan and his idea is the result of years of study of travel of research. The conditions that surround Negroes everywhere, their helplessness because due to the lack of a central great government to protect and insure their safety has, so aroused his masterly mind that he leads forth now, the Negroes from their Egypt land of the various countries to their friendland Africa. He is the man, he is the logical leader. He finds glory and greatness in the part achievements of his race, has faith in himself, faith in his race, knows, no obstacles, and takes fraudal prejudices for a stepping stones for the goal to which he strives. Above all and beyond all, he has faith in LOOK! LOOK! Do you want to save money? If so, all at THE UNITY RESTAURANT ON WEST LINN STREET, Hone Library Hall There you will find many worthy places.

He has a great cause and knows how to present that cause. He has a case at court, the court of public opinion, the court of public justice and he knows how to present that case. He believes that God gave to the Negro Africa and is determined to reclaim that land, reconquer . and reunite the broken forces of his race, and to set up a government that shall stand as a bulwark of defence for the four hundred million Negroes of the world wherever they are. He is stern, thoughtful, self-esteing and uncompromising wherever the race is concerned. He rings as true to his race as over Tom Dixon or Hearst or Brisbane or Lloyd George ever rang true to their races. He is an optimist, believing that the future under God holds first place or his race. He fears fearlessness and never time but believes that the day is at hand, the hour has struck when princes must come out of Egypt and Ethiopia stretch forth her hands unto God. Such a leader is Marcus Garvey, such as his litenarians and his followers partake of his faith. Such a man for a world wide leader. I feel to command to you in the person of the Hon. Marcus Garvey.

NEGRO FARMERS-OF VIRGINIA ARE MAKING PROGRESS Hampton, Va. April 18.—That Negro farmers of Virginia are worked systematically to improve their land, grow larger food crops, build more attractive homes, and encourage their boys and girls to go to school was clearly shown in reports which were recently made to John B. Pierce, special agent of the States Relations Service, at the Hampton Institute meeting of the Virginia colored district agents—Linus A. Jenkins, Griffin E. Oliver, John L. Charity and Julian E. Bagley—who are successfully developing State-wide extension work among colored farmers and their families. Some signs of progress in Virginia follow. Of three boards of supervisors that had failed to appropriate money for the work of colored county agents, two were finally induced to make appropriations. Eight county advisory boards were induced to adopt plans of work which had been suggested by the local county agent. Three county advisory boards have already selected delegates for the Hampton Institute Farmers Conference, which will be held on June 23 and 30. Other boards are planning to select delegates. One district agent reported that, in nine counties, 533 demonstrations in important crop projects will be carried on. In addition, 708 colored boys will take part in club work. Six counties were visited with a view to securing local aid to finance the employment of a year round home demonstration agent. In one county the board of supervisors made the appropriation that had been requested, in four other counties the colored citizens supplied the necessary money. Another district agent reported that 207 colored boys in six counties had enrolled in club work. In the same territory 287 demonstrations will be conducted by colored farmers. Another section, including three counties, has enrolled 187 colored boys in club work. There the farmers, in addition to carrying on many demonstrations in corn, wheat, cata, cowpeas, alfalfa, potatoes, and other valuable crops, are learning how to raise poultry for profit. Hampton, Va., April 18—That tuberculosis can be eradicated from dairy herds is the experience of Hampion Institute Dr George C Faville who is the institute veterinarian, has just completed the annual test of the Hampion Institute herds for tuberculosis and has found them absolutely free. "It is rather unusual," says Warren K. Bloedgett, director of the Hampton Institute Agricultural School, "for any dairy farm voluntarily to have a hard tested annually, because the testing is so expensive. We are very fortunate in having a skilled veterinarian who can do this work for us. It is a great credit to have a hard from which all tuberculosis has been eradicated, because several cage, age, when we began testing the herds, we would find several animals each year that had to be killed. This should be of interest to farmers who have dairy herds."

ALL WEST INDIES Again in "Havana Post," February 28 last, under the suggestive title of "岛上 Sovereignty" we read an article in which it is stated that there was a proposition put forward in the U. Senate by Frank B. Willa. Senator for G. Washington, the B. Government open negotiations with France, England and Holland for the acquisition of the West Indian possessions of these nations. It cannot be denied that the U. B. wishes at any cost, to possess the West Indies, but in our opinion it's a vain labor, as all far seeing Negroes in all the European Antilles protest against any idea of being put under the domination of Uncle Sam. We are quite acquainted with the crimes perpetrated on the person and properties of Haytians, Dominicans and St. Thomians; we are not unaware of the fact that in Hayti and Santo Domingo innocent and honorable men were taken from their beds at night and shot, for no reason, by U. S. drunken marines and that aged gentlemen have been in the obligation of leaving their native home to inhabit other countries. We are a native of the French West Indies, and consequently constitute ourselves the spokesman of name by stating that in those islands full citizenship is enjoyed by ALL males from the age of 21 years, irrespective of color, race, creed or condition; we are well represented in the Parliament in Paris and do not see, for reasons given, the need of a change of government in the French West Indies. The French Republic is the only white nation in the world that has up to now made the Negro the equal of the white. When will the U. S. A. proclaim racial and political equality? Never' Under the Stars and Stripes it would be, in the West Indica, a repetition or probation of discrimination, segregation, disfranchisement, Jim crowlism, lynchings and burials at stakes of live and innocent individuals. We could never accept this kind of civilization, so distant from that of Victor Hugo and Scholzler. The treatment accorded to colored folks in Yankee land, the culture attained by the people of the United States have been condemned the wide world over, even the famous Monroe Doctrine is actually trampled under foot. But — there is always a but — if American capitalists wish to go to the islands and there invest their overflowing millions in useful enterprises, we promise them that their lives, properties and capitals will be fully guaranteed, but we speak of capitalists, not of drunkards, of commonplace men, not of marines, not of ruffians, not of crackers.
