The Negro World

the type that the Caucasians, who dominate affairs in the National Capital life, a man who had no ideas of his own, who was lacking in individuality and could be relied upon to forward march or halt at the command of his superiors. But Sept. Bruce made one fatal blunder. He felt that the powers behind the thrones in the District of Columbia were solidly backing him, and hence that he could ignore the wishes of the colored people of the District of Columbia. He felt that since he had the white folks with him what the "colluded folks" thought didn't matter. There is where he erred. No matter how much Caucasians like and admire a man of color, if he loses his influence with his own race he can be of little use to them. Then, too, Mr. Bruce was appointed assistant superintendent of education before he was thirty years of age, and when he had only five years' experience in teaching, and that only in an industrial school. But the prestige of his father's name and the powerful political pull of the Tuskegee age gave him preference over men older and more experienced than himself. It was felt from the start that pull and favoritism rather than worth and merit landed him in clover. Hence, there was an undercurrent of opposition to young Bruce from the start. If Mr. Bruce will realize that no matter how much the sons of Japeth favor him, the sons of Ham are not negligible quantities, he still has a career before him. As Hon, Archibald H. Grimke, Bruce's friend, said in Boston, although he was not thinking of Bruce when he said it: "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine. HONOR NEGRO WOMANHOOD.

PRESIDENT IN MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE EXTOLS THE NATION'S DEAD President Herding, in a Memorial Day message to the American Legion, made public Thursday night, says: "Americans have never been much moved to the establishment of holidays and fest days. Perhaps our national history, this been done, also entirely within a matter of time and practical period of the worldly history that we have been little moved by the sentiments that such country inflict. Yet I think our nation has well established a national day of celebration that represents a major lofty and encouraging sentiment than does our National Memorial Day. To its observation we have brought the full measure of sacrifice and gratitude that a great people can offer to entertain for those who have made the great memorials we honored on David E. Stinson. A memorial will be built to commemorate the lives of those who have made the great memorials we honored on David E. Stinson. A memorial will be built to commemorate the lives of those who have made the great memorials we honored on David E. Stinson.

What he said: "If Intellect and manhood is functioning well, we are business in a Negro college because the president knows everything. Negro schools are losing intellect in the classroom and the faculty is getting intellectually, weaker. The school now considered it their highest duty to teach Negro students from a liberal education, but now the supporters of the faculty that he only needs the three R's and a trade of books and initiative used to consider it an honor to deliver a class, but now they get tired of being dummies, in instruction and are coming into helliness or into the educational work.

We too have thought over them and succeeded. We regard the kind of training and education required as of vital importance. Negro students needs to be instructed in the cultural sciences and, while chairs of Negro history supply Negro colleges and universities we do not believe that we need kind of training from what white men who training builds colonial structures, construct vast amounts of white governments require. large civilization and facing the same economic problems as means the knowledge that mankind in its current in the fields of theoretical and applied agriculture, industrial organization, business management, technology, history, mathematics, mechanics, and the reading influences of the study of literature, should not be neglected.

MACON MEETING PUTS GEORGIA GOVERNOR ON FOR A HARD GRILLING MACON, May 22. At a mass meeting of nearly 2,000 parsons at the city hall auditorium this afternoon, a resolution was adopted condemning Governor Dory for issuing his "nepheonage pamphlets" and pardoning the General Assembly to "appoint a court of inquiry to make an investigation of the legality of the governor's appeal to a committed not under the direction of the judiciary." The resolution concludes, "If it be found that we have violated the path of his office in the premises, this committee shall extend any accus in Georgia, or call to problem satisfactory evidence bearing his charges that the said government, North at Express, be insulted only by the unjust resolution, or any similar, following two agencies. "The weaker of the two agencies will be insulted. "Moreover, Obliviousness. "The committee will be insulted by the most insulting." KIRBY PROTESTS AGAINST WASHINGTON POLICE KIRBY PROTESTS AGAINST WASHINGTON POLICE Washington, D. - May 24, 1922. Major L. Geardson, Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, D. C.: Dear Sir--It is with no little degree of sorrow that I am forced to address you upon such a subject so early after your kind acknowledgement of my invitation of May 22. But, Sir, my office is continually annoyed by the complaints of my people for the way they are being treated by the policemen of your department. At the showground in the Northeast, Wednesday of last week, a policeman making an unwarranted arrest beat a Negro senseless. Their treatment of the man was so brutal until the act brought a storm of criticism even from white onlookers. Today my attention has been called to another case in which a Negro was beaten to death by eight policemen from the 5th Practic. The feeling among my people is running very high because of the deed. Sir, in New York in 1908 the feeling of the white policemen of that city was so intense against Negroes that it became necessary for the Chief of Police to dismiss many policemen from the force who could not make an arrest without beating up the prisoner. In Washington the policemen are very unreasonable in handling Negroes. Their overt acts have been shown even in the handling of whites, such as making unwarranted arrests and shooting without provocation. Such acts are bringing the policemen into ill repute with law-abiding citizens, and surely such acts keep the situation at a high tension. Sir, it would be sad thing at this time to repeat the race riot of two summers ago, it would be sad to the community, it would be sad for the administration, it would be sad for the nation. I foretold the riot of two years ago three montha prior to its happening, in an open letter to the Post. And, Shr. I am foretelling another one than the policemen are more reasonable in the handling of my people. We are among American population out of no choice of our own, and millions of us would get out from among you tomorrow if we could. We our hoping our emigration will succeed, because we are sick of lynching, burning, attack on our women, discrimination, segregation, Jim-crowlism and taxation without race representation. Since these are the conditions under which we must live, then no community is safe where 10 per cent of its population is unsafe; no community is happy where 10 per cent of its population is unhappy, because one element fears the other and an explosion may happen at any time, no nation is safe or stayable where such crimes as I have mentioned above are heaped upon more than 10 per cent of its population. Sir, the world's upheaval of 1914 has by no means subsided; war clouds threaten the world on all sides. I know you remember that dissatisfied element of Austria-Hungary opened the back door to the enemy of the nation. But we are willing to co-operate with any department to maintain law and order. The U. N. I. A. invites all classes of Negroes to join so that we may help them to become better citizens, to respect law and authority. Our office is at 1312 Sewent Street. N. W. I am open for an interview by any department of the Government. H. W KIRBY. Pres. Wash. Branch U. N. L. A. IN DEFENCE OF THE BIBLE. Editor the Negro World; L like Mr. W, Herrington, was sorry and much surprised to find that you should have allowed the article of Mr. Filogenes Maillard, of Havana, Cuba, to appear in the columns of that great and mighty journal, the Negro World, it reflects on the high standard of our paper. When a man, no matter how much evidence he displays as to the keenness of his intellect and the profundity of his reasoning, attempts to brand the Bible as "truthful" and to affirm that he committed his malevolence to dominate and ravage the make-up of his cerebrum and that he lacks that kind of broad sense that is so essential and available to a man of letters now-a-days and he forces all right-thinking people to conclude that he must have obtained a high degree in the university of infidelity. The Bible, despite some things in it that do not appeal to our taste, how done incalculable good in the world. It seeks to bring men into closer touch with his Divine Lord and Master. It seeks to shape and mold the lives of all people—white and black, high and low. Surely, when I read such passages of Scripture as "love of one another" and "as ye would that man should do to you, do ye also until them," I marvel how any rational being can style Holy Writ as "trash literature." That Mr. Mallard's article should not have appeared in the Negro World, he matters what may be the epitom of anyone to the contrary, well-bound in the convictions of all honors men and women. It may be Mr. Mallard, however, that you did not see the manuscript until it appeared in the Bible, like many good novelists and organizations, that have been long in the making. and vituperations hurled against it. That it will continue to stand the times of these he helpless there is not the slightest doubt. Honest and eminent people live and reverence the Bible, and no attempt by Mr. Malfard and his type must divert our attention from the higher and hoarer life. Editor Note—Mr. Filoguesa Millard has contributed some brilliant articles to the Negro World. When a strong, thoughtful article comes to us we do not feel inclined to delete the phrases and words, with which we do not agree, unless such matter is librical or seductive. To do so we be to do a writer an injustice. The correspondence section of a newspaper is supposed to be a forum for free discussion and to represent the readers and not the editor's point of view. There are some statements in the letters that we publish and do not entirely agree with, that we do not answer editorially because we desire to avoid discussions on side issues. We stear clear of theological controversies, as some of our readers are Catholics. Epicopolaniates Congregationalists. Epicopolaniates Congregationalists. Spiritualists. Christian-Scientists. 'Uitariana. Universalists. Seventh Day Adventists. Members of the Church of God and Christians of Christ and Members of the Church of the Living God. We have stated our firm belief in God and Christ. We have approved of the statement of Dr George Trumbull Ludd, America's distinguished metaphysician that "Holligua in the psyche uplift of the human race." But we do not feel inclined to enter into the discussion of the higher and lower critism of the Bible, and other questions which the theologians have wrangled over for centuries. We believe that the Bible ranks high as literature, contains considerable philosophy, poetry, eloquence and history of high value, and is a fountain of spiritual wisdom. We believe that parts of the Bible are more valuable, the ones inspired and more authentic than others. We have reason to believe that occasionally those who copied the Hebrew and Greek manuscript interpolated passages of their own, and that sometimes the translators of the Bible from the Hebrew and Greek into English made slight errors. But, still, we would never call the Bible "trash literature." At the same time we do not like the idea of blue penciling an interesting article when it is not too long and does not violate the laws of the country, simply because there is a phrase or sentence that we do not agree with. We regard the readers of the Negro World as adults, not children, W. H. F. A GREETING FROM VENEZUELA Your Honor—is with a heart full of joy and gladness that we dedicate this day, which is to us a memorable one, a day in which we feel that the redemption of Ethiopia draweth night. We have the honor to inform you that on the 20th of April a meeting was held here in this town where we affirming ourselves to the U. N. L. A. And though we had not yet corresponded with you, yet we were and are ready to make any sacrifices for the righteous cause which you are defending. Here in this city and its suburbs there are many Negroes who will gladly join us if you would only give us your sanction and also send the necessary information regarding the U. N. L. the charter published in the last conference, and some newspapers, and if possible some trouts that may be distributed among the Negroes here. Individually, I am at the head of the movement here. By profession I am a teacher of language—Spanish, French and English—and I will willingly offer my services to the association for any publication, translation, etc. At the foot of this letter you will find the names of some energetic folk of our race who desire to co-operate with us. Nothing more for the present, but anxiously awaiting your reply, we have the honor to be. P. B.-And many others who were not present when this letter was written send their greetings. E. C. A WORD REGARDING "PRINCE" (?) UENIVI May 25, 1931. To the Editor, Negro World: Dear Sir—In the New York Amsterdam News this morning I noticed an article of Madarikan Deniyl, endearing (and that very sexy) to bittle Marcus Garvey and the Black Star Line. The article was so unintelligent and unintelligible. I reasoned, after first thought, that to respond to this money-grabbing agistant would place me on an equal basis with him for ignorance, but when I recall his days in Liberty Hall (as a wolf in sheep clothing), apparently enthused with the U. N. I. A. and Garvey, a unhappy man of whence he came like Madarikan Della-A. is not worthy to telegraph, a man who is capable and willing to give the "new light of day" to such a fool. I am forced to give him a friendly warning and that I tell. He is fooling with four million men, working and children members of the association scattered all over the world. Watch your step Deniyl. Mr. Gayey, dating a Rapper for every creature, especially one who erupts up his belly like Deity, skates, hips, puts on chokehold, a monkey, who has called his wife a mourning chatterer, who has called his wife a love-chatterer, this man speaks to the powers of Gayey, adducing the Devil K. and Margo Marris Mammals, the animals on earth, are well known with their large size and the abundance of food. They are the most plentiful of the animals on earth. They are the most distant of all the animals on the land. A MESSAGE FROM PITTENBURGH My Dear Comrade! Once more and again I will make my report unto you that you may know how strong I am in the U. N. L. A. You see I am a Bible man, and I have been looking for this very day. The only thing I didn't do as I should have done, I failed to save as I should. As I have prayed in my ypungar days to give me a chance to help my people, I believe the time has come now. I am willing to go anywhere you see fit to send me, and I believe the Lord will be with me until I begin to sin. I never intend to do anything in the way of blocking the way of the U. N. L. A. Yours in Christ WM. S. BLUNT. 1240 Floom St. N. S. Pittsburgh, Pa. Extended Friend—I deem it an honor to address you as "friend," because you are one of the comparatively few who hesitate not in the open declaration of what you believe to be truth. I am a frequent reader of your edition, and I frankly assert the need of many more publications of its nature. Today you are doubtless aware of the conditions of the Black race in America, which are extremely deployable, and I presume you observe the rapid approach of the climax in the human affairs of the universe. I am only one of the multitudes of black youth who suffer the needless handicap born of race and color and the bane of absolute subordination in America. Today we, of all youth, suffer most. I believe it time for a change. And this change may only be had through the co-operation of all good Christian American citizens. But the incipiency of a movement which will result in better conditions for the black man rests with Him. Do you fear, with me, to cast the die? A. W. FITZ. 609 E. North St. Coffeyville, Kana. MR. HAYS MOVES TO END CENSORSHIP Evidently Postmaster-General Hays meant what he said about the abolition of the censorship which has been maintained by his department and the restoration of the freedom of the press. The Liberator—not *@* Socialist author but several shades further toward Communism—has been granted second-class mailing privileges and a refund of $11,377 to cover the loss it has sustained by reason of previous discrimination. This is reversing Burleson with a vengeance, but it is not with the just of the Liberator, and similar action in the case of other publications which have been summarily punished by exclusion from second-class privileges should logically follow. Mr. Hays has taken the incontrovertible stand that "publications should be entirely suppressed and their publishers prosecuted or they should be given equal mailing rights in common with the other periodicals of the country." It is an excellent rule, and the Pfgmaster-General is to be commended for its promulgation, but to put it into effect is another and a more difficult matter. Suppression in various forms and under cover of various laws has become habitual with his department. Only the other day, according to the New York Call, Prince Kropelkolin's "Conquest of Bread" was refused by the New York Post Office as unavailable, and small radical journals are held up from time to time at considerable monetary loss and without a chance to defend themselves. "When espionage is encouraged by legislation and has become the established usage it takes more than a declaration of principles to end it—New York World."

GARVEY SENDS MESSAGE OF APPRECIATION TO MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF LIBERTY HALL; HIS EARLY RETURN IS NOW EXPECTED Right Honorable Speaker in Convention, Officers and Members of the New York incal of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Friends: We are happy to greet you again tonight. I do not intend to make a spazish tonight, as I am compelled to hold a little. I have been going too much, night and day, and I am beginning to feel the effects of it, therefor, I must hold up a little. But I have a little message for you that I shall read: "I have read of your work in Liberty Hall. Let me thank you for what you have done in representing me during my absence. Keep up the good work the best you can, and let the people of Liberty know that everything O. liberty may be with them within a couple of weeks. This is a message from the Hon. Marous Garvey (Applause). It was a letter written on the 20th of this month, and I feel sure—I know that you are longing to see him and hear his voice again. I must take this privilege of thank you for the manner in which you supported these meetings. I have such good news to tell him that it will take me a whole day to tell him about you; everything went on nicely and smoothly all the time and I want you to continue on that way until he returns. You have all done well. The choir, from the manager down, has indeed been faithful in carrying on the work assigned to them; the band continues enward and onward without failure. I must commend the Legions, the Black Cross Nurces, and the Motor Corps for their punctuality. We asked them to be here at ten minutes to 8 o'clock, and they are always here promptly. If we have done nothing else, we are learning punctuality. (Applause). We promised to begin our meetings at 8 30 during the week, and you are always here waiting when I come. You were indeed liberal in your offerings during the absence of the president, and now I know more about you than I knew before. You have been tested, and, I venture to say, weighed in the balance, and not found wanting. (Applause). No longer are you simply depending upon the presence of the president you have learned your duty—that whether he is here or not, you must be here. Sometimes on Sunday nights I wonder where we will put the people during the coming convention. If at ordinary meetings this place is so packed, where will you be placed when the president returns? Some are going to charter their seats from 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I think I are some of them. I don't think I will firmly than ever, determined to hold them, I suppose, for that occasion. Before I sit down, having made there scattered remarks, I want to read just this to you. In the British Parliament, not very long ago, David Lloyd George arose and with enthusiasm said 'Gentlemen this world-wide trouble is fast growing beyond human control. But I see before我 a government which is founded upon justice, a government in which all religious prejudices and racial distinction shall cease. (Applause) I see growing up before我 a government that is founded upon justice, whose work is based upon love. This government comes not from the hands of feeble men, but from the power of Almighty God" (Renewed applause) If David Lloyd George confesses that this government that he sees in the future is built by the hand of Almighty God then the Negro is safe, for the Negro "hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness," and if he believes that it is built on that, and through God, then we know we are safe, because we are in God's hands. God's promises are sure, and I am glad that David Lloyd George sees a greater movement than that of which he and the people of England have boasted so long and still boast of. The world is looking up. You may think me selfish in saying that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has caused Negroes to speak what they never would have thought of speaking many years ago. But one thing. Negroes be careful: be careful how you may be bribed. A Negro met me this week, and told me the Negroes don't want a republican form of government, that Negroes want a monarchical government. Just think of it—a Negro saying such a thing! And that man is living right in America toow; yet he has the presumption to talk about monarchical government! But he is a type of some of the cringling Negroes that there are amongst us. I would to God he was here now. He did not know I was going to talk on the subject and about him in public. The Stare and Stirring. But I will take them all to task who I hear make such utterances, and expose their ignorance in the midst of all their boasted education. (Applause.) Here is a man living now under the American government, yet talking about monarchial government! He should be driven out of the country. Under this American flag, how man take a stand for a monarchial form of government? It is the only flag under which the Universal Negro Improvement Association can stand (applause), and while I am here I will respect the Stars an Stripes. (Applause.) The Universal Negro Improvement Association believes in loyalty to that flag, under which and by which it is receiving protection, and if I felt that I could not be loyal to the flag of the United States, I would get out of America at once. So long, however, as I am here, I must be and will be loyal to it. When you are in my house you must obey me (applause), and what I put before you, you must eat (laughter); if you cannot do as I say in my house, and cannot eat what I offer you, you can not eat what I say and will die the door after you. (Continued laughter.) Simple though that in, yet it is Another thing I must tell you is this: I had been thinking very seriously about this paper called the Negro World, and I began to wonder about it, that wherever I would go in New York I looked and saw bundles of newspapers thrown away, but I never saw even a single sheet of the Negro World turn up or thrown into the street. It would appear that the Negro World is regarded by the people as being too precious to be thrown away. And do you not know that in communities where men and women are brought up under the Christian religion, a man or a woman on seeing in the street or on the ground a leaf of the Bible will stop and pick it up, such as his reverence and regard for the Holy Book? It is the same, it seems, with the Negro World: If a person happens to see a sheet of the Negro World anywhere, he will stop and pick it up and read it and preserve it, or pass it on to someone else to read. All newspapers are wasted except the Negro World. (Applause.) Can't you see that God Almighty is in this whole movement? He is in it, and since God has a hand in it, I am not afraid. Whatever may be hard to bear. He will make right, and He is so wise and so great that every mountainous difficult; that stands in the way of the people he removes miraculously insurmountable obstacles to be removed over it. although I love and know that he has known the obstacles to be removed in such a way that I have loved over it. and do you know that sometimes prayer does such things and can hardly believe that is a fact, we can surely believe that He has once answered our prayer. He once did not believe that God answered his prayer, and those who knew praying for Peter could hardly believe that God would have answered their heart it was quicker than they heard it was they said "Impossible; it must be Peter's angel." But it was so, and, my brother, God is going to answer our prayers. His cars are not dead; His hands are not shut tight; His blessings are ready to be poured upon us, because giving does not impoverish Him, neither does withholding enrich Him. God's blessings are upon the Negro race, and if His blessings were not on us, we would not have survived until now, and coming together as we do. (Applause.) Let us therefore, give God (the Lord) and the glory, and let us with one voice, send up the application: "God save Marcus Garvey God enable him to carry on the great work that he has begun. God put more wisdom in him, that he may be able to plan and carry on the work." Where God leads, we will follow, and the Hon. Marcus Garvey follows God, a nation will be following him. 400,000,000 strong. (Great applause.) PROF. EKBR18. 8PZAK8. PROF. FERRIS SPEAKS. Prof Wm. H. Ferris, Editor of the Negro World, said: I am glad to look into your faces again. I am not a natural orator. I have done more speaking since I have been connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association than ever before in my life. I am not a natural speaker like Dr Stewart and Sneaker Toote, because they can electrify an audience everywhere. Everywhere Mr. Toote has gone reception have been held in his honor. I think it is greatly to the credit of our High Chancellor that while Mr Garvey has been absent three months he has been able to maintain the morale and the attendance and influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Last Wednesday night I addressed a civic forum in Alexandria. They were met to discuss Woman Suffrage and they wanted me to tell something about the U. N. I. A., and I told them if they visited Liberty Hall on a Sunday night they would find nearly 4,000 people packed inside and hundreds standing outside looking in at the doors and windows, and one sister rose and said "That is so; because I was in New York last Sunday night and saw it myself." Whenever people come to New York from any part of the country they visit Liberty Hall. Our influence is widespread. In Jersey City although the ministers have seemingly combined to prevent us from holding our meetings in their churches, over 600 members have been enrolled in Jersey City and they are talking now and organising to have an enrollment of 1,000 at the time of the convention. The so-called Prince Madarikan Denilyt visited Jersey City Friday afternoon and stopped in a bar shop. He did not know the U. N. I. A. was as strong as it was in Jersey, and so he was reading a letter of his written in the Amsterdam News. After he started and before he could finish a crowd gathered around him, but when they saw a big policeman across the street they desisted. Finally they got into an argument and the Prince (1) packed up his bag and started down the street and it was hard to keep up with him. The last that could be seen of him he was making the dust fly. (Lauhunter.) I had a very pleasant time in Washington. I spoke before the Howard Theatre in the interest of the drive and Counselor presided, and when I called on Tuesday to get my expense account I found out that they sent to the headquarters not only what they had taken in the drive but every cent they had in the treasury except one dollar. It seemed peculiar that hardly any person I met in Washington inquired about Dr. Dubois, but even more so when I arrived to Alexandria inquired about Marcus Carver. (Cheers.) Those who had not seen his picture wanted to know what kind of looking man he was. I told them the editor of the "Independent" said he was black-spreadly, bituminously black, and proud. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921 government buildings and was introduced to an official of the Department of Justice. He wanted to know what we discussed in the Negro World. I told him we discussed the status of the Negro in America, Europe, the West India, Central and South America and Africa, and discussed theology and literature. He said we had a pretty wide field. I am sure the wife our late lamented Dr. Alexander Walters, Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, who labored so hard for Africa, must be pleased to see all this racial enthusiasm. It has been said by our critics that the natives on the Gold Coast do not want the Universal Negro Improvement Association there and that they are opposed to this movement. I was surprised yesterday to receive a letter from one of the most prominent Africans on the Gold Coast. I know him personally, but will not give his name. This is what he says: "I thank you all for the nightly enthusiasm you have created in the United States of America on behalf of the Motherland—I may Motherland, because it will be inaccurate to use the term 'Fatherland' inasmuch as 50 or more percent of the Negroes there had white fathers who were not interested in Africa. From Paul Cuffe to Marcus Survey the resurrection and upbuilding of Africa has been accentuated and grown in importance." He also says this from the Gold Coast: "We are anxiously looking out for the passenger boat the Phyllis Wheley, to call at Freeway. Leading citizens are preparing to give a welcome to the captain and his officers. We are hoping the boat will call here on the way to Monrovia." That shows how West Africa regards this movement (Appearance). Decoration Day. Tomorrow is Decoration Day, when they decorate the graves of the men who fail in the late Civil War. It was the agitation regarding the question of human slavery that precipitated the Civil War. When John Brown with a party of a few colored and white friends invaded West Virginia, seduced the arsenal at Harper Ferry and prepared to make West Virginia safe for fugitive slaves, the attempt was thwarted and John Brown died on the scaffold. When Abraham Lincoln was elected the South seconded. At first black men wanted to fight for the Union cause but they were told to as a white man's war. The North commanded that they could not easily win the war until they were armed the slaves, and therefore the Emancipation Proclamation was sent forth as a war measure. When Col. Robert Shaw of the 64th Massachusetts Colored Regiment organized a Negro regiment, even the friends of the colonel said the Negro would run before he would fight. Only two officers (Gen. Saxton and Col. Higginson) believed in the courage of the Negro soldier. Gen. Saxton believed in their courage. Gen. Saxton had fought under him in the Indian war. Col. Higginson believed in their courage because when he and other abolitionists took a beam of a building and burst open the door of the Boston court-house to arrest fugitives, a soldier on guard fired on Col. Higginson and an unknown Negro charged into the room; an officer rushed forward and raised his sword to bring it down upon Col. Higginson and this unknown Negro rushed forward and interrupted him. From that moment Col. Higginson and an unknown Negro. So it happened that in the first battle the 64th Massachusetts Colored Regiment engaged in they won immortal fame. Mr Toote and Dr. Gibson and others who have visited Boston will tell you that on Boone Hill right opposite the State House there is a monument to Col. Shaw and his colored regiment. He is shown riding at the head of his regiment and the wreath of victory is about to be placed upon his head and behind him march his brave soldier. The Negro in the Civil War. When I was a student at Harvard, the remnants of that regiment had exercises over the graves of Col. Shaw and Col. Hallowell and upon this monument. This is what happened on that day: these fellows had marched two days and two nights through drenching rain and wind. On the morning of the battle they were given the position of hoop at the right of the graves. Col. Shaw killed and nearly every white officer was shot and killed, but these soldiers fought on Sgt. Carney crawled up on the walls of that fort and held the Stars and Stripes there; the rebels crept up and tried to pull it out of his hand, but he held on to the staff and they tore off part of the flag, but he brought back the staff and part of the flag and said: "Boys, the old flag never touched the ground." That sentence went around the country. At the Battle of the Wilderness it was the Negro troops that enabled Grant to win the day, and as a reward for the Negro's valor in the war he was not only enunciated but given the ballot and made a citizen and Howard University was endowed for his benefit. That is what we derived from the Civil War. It is not an enunciation in which the Negro people played in part, because 100,000 black soldiers fought and died as heroes in order to save the Union. Only the negroes of Civil War, Fred Douglas—after whom one of our boats will be named—was one of the ablest creators on the anti-slavery side. He was a man that stood over six feet in height with wavy hair and an eagle eye. In 1850, in New York City, Capt. Rynders and a mob attempted to break up an anti-slavery meeting. Capt. Rynders said that the Negro was a man and he said: "Yes, but you are only half a Negro." At the door Fred Douglas saw Samuel Ringgold ALL FOR COLORED PEOPLE A large number of men, women, boys and girls, are needed to serve in the army, police and bank.

It was said of him that he was so black that at night the only thing you could see about him at night was the white of his eyes; but as an anatomy he was as great as Pvd Danglens and as a scholar he was greater; but his early death prevented him getting immortal fame. Samuel Ringold Ward stood up and said: "Am I black enough?" and that remark riveted the attention of the audience, and that for the first time in the Kogry's history in America Ward showed them what scholarship and genius could emulate from a black skin. So you see that in the struggle prior to the Civil War black men as creators and as anti-slavery agitators played their part. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now facing a different problem. Before the Civil War, the Negro was looked upon with contempt. From 1853 to 1853 a good deal of sympathy was manifested towards him. From 1853 to 1815 he faced indifference in the North and West of this country and hostility in the South; but new the world and the country have a new attitude towards the Negra. They are looking at him with curiosity to see what he will accomplish and what he will achieve. The first forward step that he achieved by the Negro since the emancipation made by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star League (Appease). I had a chance to lecture before one of the classes of Howard University last Wednesday morning on the Garvey movement, and I had a talk with one of the professors. He said that, no matter whether the U. K. I. A. and Marcus Garvey realized all of their promises, the plans and ambitions of future leaders of the Negro race must follow in the path laid by the Hom. Marcus Garvey. (Applause). The U. N. L. A. There have been two things which the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. have given to the Negro race in the idea of respecting a man for what he is as a man, rather than because of his color. Before the U. N. I. A. stepped on the scene many of our people 'bought' that the salivation of the Negro was to be found in blinding his completion and taking the kninks out of his hair (Laughter), but the Hon. Marcus Garvey told him that he must emblebe his soul and take the kninks out of his brain. (Applause) We are facing a world which recognizes strength. Go back over the pages of human history and you will find that, when Ethiopia, and when Egypt, and when Persia, and Babylon, and Amarylia, and Macedon, and Rose, and Spain were strong, they won the respect and challenged the admiration of the world. Two forces have been recognized in human history: one force is the religious sentiment that is launched by Jesus of Nazareth, and the other force was that recording might, power and strength. There was a time when the man who had the hardest fist and the hardest muscle ruled and directed affairs; but today the man who has the greatest brain power, who can marshal the nature is the man who can rule and direct affairs; and when Marcus Garveyceived the idea of the Negro master's mechanical, agriculture and mechanical engineering and developing the underdeveloped resources of Liberia—when he conceived the idea of launching a military line—he could see the idea of giving the Negro financial and commercial strength and supremacy which will win in the struggle to survive. Money is the thermometer that registers success in the modern world. The American dollar has the motto: "In God We Trust," and the American believes in the dollar, because the more dollars he has the more God he thinks he has. But apart from urging the Negro to acquire commercial strength, there was another thing about the Hon. Marcus Garvey movement that has riveted the attention of the world. You will remember that, when Dr. Hart wrote that article in the "Independent," this was the thing that impressed him. He said: "First he was tempted to smile on Garvey's grandiose scheme, but finally he came to admire the moral dignity of his manhood." (Cheera.) There is one sentence in the Bible that is full of meaning. The Bible has been cused and discussed and criticized, pro and con. I have read Bacon; I have read Shakespeare; I have read Milton, but I have not found any eloquence sublimer than the eloquence of the Bible, and no philosophy that is deeper. Preachers have preached this text: "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" But they have only pictured him as losing his soul in the spirit world. But that can be applied to the Negro nowadays. What does it profit the Negro if he can pile up the wealth of his people or of Carnegie and not develop his own soul ality? Man was put into this world, not only to eat and drink, not only to sustain his spiritual organism. He has a soul—an ego—a personality, and the mission of man in this terrestrial world is to develop that soul and that personality. The highest thing that God created in this world was a human being. When we hear of a distinguished man we expect to see a man like Bishop Grant and Bishop Gaines of the A. M. E. Church, towering six feet in height and weighing about 126 pounds, with a big forehead and a big dome. Isaiah Watt, the great bryant writer, did not stand over 8 feet in height and did not weigh over 180 pounds. When he was introduced to a man he was asked if he was Dr. Watt. Watt said yes; and he said: "Were I so tall and yes; the stars and the ground in my span. I must be measured by my span. The mind is the measure of the man. And that is the doctrine which the U. M.

It is telling black men "you will not be measured by the power of your old and the texture of your肛肌, but by the worth of your soul" and that is why, a year ago last February, one brother wrote me from Panama—"We people down our way regard your account as a reward." What is the difference between religion and theology? Theology only teaches a more head, but religion teaches a more heart. When you have reached a more heart—when you have reached the soul, you have reached the vertical spring of his activity, and it is because the N. I. N. A. has given the Negro a voice of a possibility of achievement—it is because he has told black men that, in Africa and in other parts of the world, they are not only deserving of some of the fruits of modern civilization, but can get it. If they will strive and achieve, it is because the creative activity and the courage to do and dare and strive and achieve is tainted by black men everywhere that men are forming the churches and the N. A. A. C. P. andocking to the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the banner of hope. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Speaker Toota Speaker. Brev. Fred. R. Toota, speaker in convention, said in part: "Right Honorable High Commissioner, Officers and Members of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Friends: I am indeed very glad to be with you this evening, and to come and gain fresh inspiration from Liberty Hall. I have been away for a few weeks in Carolina and Virginia and Ohio, and I am back once more to look into your face. The speaker here made allusion to a letter published in last week's edition of the Amsterdam News, purporting to come from a so-called Prince of Africa (Madartan Deruy), in which the writer sought to assuil the Hon. Marcus Garver. The letter, the speaker said, was doubtless prompted by malice against the U. N. L. A. because at the convention of last year the "Prince" was not elected to one of the positions of responsibility in the association, which disappointment had caused him to become disgruntled and sore. Continuing, the speaker said: We must not allow any man at this juncture to stop the onward march of this great movement. You will find men who are paid, not by white men, but by black men—black men who are today grappling at a straw to save the situation for themselves. They know that the day is waning when the would-be Negro will fall, because the U. N. I. A. has declared to the world that if you are so proud that you cannot come down to the gutter and help lift up those who need to be lifted up, by the power of Almighty God we will take away the props that support you and we will all go up, or we will all fall down together. (Great applause.) I ask you men and women to jock back a moment and recall what Marcus Garvey has done in behalf of this great movement; what he has endured for the cause; that he was not even spared from the hand of the assassin, who attempted to perpetrate a deadly act upon him when he was shot by one of his enemies. From that moment the movement of the U. N. L. A was made substantial and secure for he sanctified its principles with his blood. (Applause). Therefore, having baptized these principles with his blood, we are prepared and determined to go even to the utterment steeple of heaven, or even to go down to the very depths of Gehena in order that the Universal Negro improvement Association shall not perish from the earth and that Marcus Garvey's name shall ring throughout the world and all down the ages of time. (Thundereous applays). See, my friends, our enemies are trying to do. They are trying to make us pull down our colors, but I declare to you and to the whole world that they are nailed to the mast and the man will never come down. (Cheera). Any Negro who tries to malign the character of our great leader, who has won the respect and the admiration of the world, is an ingrate. Let it be known that the new Negro has arisen and that no one, no two, no thousand, no ten thousand, whoever they may be, can stop the new Negro in onward march for the redemption of Africa and the emancipation of this race of ours from the thraldom of prejudice, hatred, jihilism, segregation and Specialist for 28 Years demonstration. For best results, we need gone to another thing the whole week, used at least known that we are here, and that we vigorously protect against and resist the wrench, the infliction, and entangle that are being perpetrated against us. We need not fear these publications that are distress for many of shopping to the level of asking our examples in their efforts to pull us down to or read us as we need, for the day will come when each newspaper will have ceased to exist, when the public, our people, will refuse to give them appeal. We have no fear of the white man in this movement of ours. Our only and greatest fear in the traitors that are among us. Here the speaker told of his experience at Raleigh, N. C., which he had visited recently. He had made an address, he said at St. Paul's Methodist Church there on a Sunday morning and in the afternoon at a Massilee Temple. Col. Billy Flippeen, from from the middle and arsenal of the Army. The Army must miss the girl of predicament. The queen has been the regina Little, preaching for them, the queen to full The Naare Le Rains. The U. N. L. A. today has no secrets that it is afraid to let the world know, although there are many who come to our meetings from time to time as spies—stool piguses. I might say—trying to get information, if they can, that they can use against us. The movement, like the Rock of Gibraltar, is firm and unmovable. It is here to stay, and nothing can daunt or discourage us, for it was born out of the groomings and the lynchings and the burnings of 400,000,000 Negroes, and by the God in Heaven, no man on earth, no power, principalities, or anything else will stop this movement from going on until the goal has been reached, and the flag of the Red, the Black and the Green nailed to the topmost mast and this race of ours is emancipated. Therefore, publish it abroad that the Negro is rising; that he is rising upon the aeses of those boys, those heroes of ours. Those black boys, those day for America and for all the allied countries that were engaged in the recent great war. (Loud applause.) DRESSMAKING SCHOOL Mrs. Opie B.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921 WASHINGTON, May 23.—Isaiah Truman Hatton, one of the most prominent and widely known architects in Washington, died at his home in Mitchellville, Md. Tuesday morning, May 17, about 2 o'clock, after a lingering illness of more than a year The Rev. M. W Travera conducted the last rites over the corpse. Floral tributes were numerous and were banked high around the beautiful casket. Many were received from out-of-town friends. Many prominent men attended the funeral; among them were: Messra. B. L. Jordan, W. A. Jordan, J. T. Carter, of the Southern Aid Society of Richmond, Va.; Mr. W. H. C. Brown, of Newport News, Va. Isaiah T. Hatton, as he was generally known, was the only son of the late Isaiah and Mary Susan Hatton. He was born in Hagerstown, Md., March 1, 1888, and was 33 years old at his death. His family moved to Washington, D. C., when he was about seven years of age. He attended the public schools here and graduated from the old M St. High School at the age of eighteen. After receiving his diploma, he successfully completed courses both in steam engineering and architoculture. Having thus fittingly prepared himself for life's work, he began work as a draftman with Mr. Sidney Pittman. On November 29, 1911, he married Miss Bertha B. Sayley and soon, thereafter, became one of the planner settlers of Lincoln, Md. About three years ago, he erected a new home and moved to Buena Vista, Mq., and surrounded himself with most or the comforts of life. The last four years of Mr. Hatton's life marked the apex of his career, and his achievements in this short space of time remain behind him as monuments to his name. It was four years ago, at the age of 28 years, Mr. Hatton designed and built the Industrial Savings Bank. Two years later he designed and superintended the construction of the Whitelaw Hotel, the Southern Aid Building and the Murray Bros. Building, the last named being Mr. Hatton's last work; in fact he was taken to his bed before the building was completed. "PRINCE" MADARIKAN DENVYI TAKES TO HIS HEELS IN JERSEY CITY For once in his life the radiant amila, melodious voice, joyous laugh, pearly teeth, and soft soap, palauer talk* of "Prince" Madarikan Denvyl falls to have its soporific and hypnotic effect. And the "Prince has found out that all American and West Indian Nagrées do not fall for his jabby. The cable "Prince" on Friday afternoon stepped into Howard Morris' barber shop at 412 Menmouth St. Jersey City, where he had once received a reception and begged money. He began to exhibit his attack on the Black Star Line, which appeared in the Amsterdam News. The occupants of the barber shop gathered around him in a threatening attitude. But Mr. Morris quiued them. Brightly, brother McDonald had a hot argument with the begging "Prince" and started after the valiant "Prince". He grabbed his bag, drew out of the door and ran down the street at a guilt that would have made it difficult. Mr. Howard, Draw to keep up with him.

He has a very bright son of twelve and a daughter of fourteen who can play the violin, play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on the piano and translate Caesar's commentaries.

It might seem strange to mention in one breath man who have not the traditional love for each other which Damon and Pythias and David and Jonathan had. But they all are men of intellectual tastes and aspirations. Brains and cultivated brains are running the world today and probably will do so for ages to come. Marcus Garvey read widely and traveled over Europe America the West Indies and Central America. As a result he conceived the vision of a united race and a redeemed Africa. Thomas Walker a business man, read Buckle's history of "Civilization" in his younger days and it gave him an intellectual perspective. And that is what a real education always does, whether a man gets it from context with a dollar, from books or from travels. It enables him to survey life from an elevated position and gives him breadth of vision. As that much discussed book, the Bible says "Where there is no vision the people perish. Despite the struggle for bread and the materialistic tendencies of modern civilization, the Negro needs as leaders men who can light the torch of their inspiration upon the heights of Mt. Parnassus and commune with the muse. He also needs as leaders men who can climb the rugged heights of Mt. Sinai and bear the voice of the Almighty.

The abolition of the secondary department did not evoke much enthusiasm. It ought not to be difficult to secure sufficient Congressional appropriations to properly run Howard University if the affairs of the university are managed so as to win the approval of the colored people of the country. It was a generous act of Congress when it gave Howard University for the uplifting of the colored people of America as a partial tribute to their patriotism and valor in the Civil War. The Negro now has the ballot and has shown his patriotism and valor in the recent world's war. So the present Congress ought to be as generous to him as it was three and four decades ago We heard the matter discussed pro and con as to whether Howard University should have a white or colored president. We heard the merits of Emmet J Scott, Kelly Miller Maruse Pitsherhert Wheatland and Bashop John Hurst discussed pro and con. But if Dr Durkez will permit the intellectual luminaries on his faculty to shine until they reach the scriptural limit of three score years and ten and even continue longer if vigorous in mind, the same as President Ellot of Harvard did, the talk of a Negro president will probably die a natural death. If not, the talk may be continued. We were asked our opinion while in the National Capitol. We have no prejudice against any man because he is white in color or black in color. With us the question is, "What is his attitude towards men of African descent who possess courage, character and capacity?" The white men like Dwight, Wright, Phillips, Sumner and Tadd of Yale and Norton Royce, James, Everett, Palmer and Thayer of Harvard, like E. H Clement of the Boston Transcript, Frank Sanborn of the Springfield Republican William Hayes Ward, of the Independent: Charles B. Spahr of the Outlook, Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Rev. A. F. B. Feard, who feels that a man of obony line has the right to aspire after the highest and best things in modern civilization and the right to evolve into a manly and not a syphonant personality are usually appreciated by men of African descent.

It has been suggested that it was the intent of Congress in the passage of this provision that the privilege of second-class rate should only go to publications disseminating information of a public benefit. If this is true, then the responsibility is lodged somewhere in determine what is and what is not information of public benefit. There is a vast difference between what is information of a public character and what is information of public benefit. Much of the news in any daily, might be barred if public benefit were essential. It is easy to decide what is and what is not information of a public character. The arbitrary power to decide what is and what is not a public benefit was never intended to be lodged in the Postmaster General. It shall not be assumed The Post Office Department holds no belief for The Liberator or any other publication. If there is on foot a conspiracy to destroy our established form of Government by force and violence, claimed by the Department therefore as a reason for not granting this permit, it then the publication is involved in it, then the Department of Justice will deal promptly and effectively with the conspirators in the manner prescribed by law. The Department of Justice as now organised can be depended upon absolutely to do that. The war is over. We must return to the ordered freedom. Our method of safeguarding the public welfare, while T at the same time maintaining freedom of the press has been found through a long period of stable civil liberty better for the public welfare and personal security of citizens than to establish a bureaucratic censorship which in its nature becomes a matter of individual opinion, prejudice or caprice. There is a certain cost in free institutions in which the institution of freedom of the press shares, but we in this country have preferred to pay such costs from time to time rather than to seek protection through the historical discredited devices of bureaucratic governments. Either these publications should be entirely suppressed and their publishers prosecuted or they should be given equal mailing rights in common with the other periodicals of the country. The mail exclusion statutes will be vigorously enforced by the Post Office Department, but in so doing we will carry out the purpose of such non-malability law. This purpose is to bar the prohibited matter entirely from the mail and not simply exclude it from the particular class of mail which carries a lower rate of postage and then admit it to that class which requires a higher rate, for the same laws govern the malability of matters in each case. There shall be no hesitancy in suppressing any publications that fall within the prohibitions of the public law, but there are also laws in this country safeguarding the integrity of the freedom of the press, and these laws must and shall be also scrupulously observed. and Face Preparations, not try SOPHIA'S?

MARCUS GARVEY ELECTRIFIES AUDIENCE AT PANAMA PROSPEC TIVE CHAPTER OF THE U.N.I.A. (Continued from page L.) usually reads a titless: "The Dawn of Universal Peace" Extending back to Your Excellency our hearty greetings of welcome and a pleasant time. We are ever. Yours fraternally. The Officers and Members of the Guchapall Prospective Chapter of the U. N. I A and A. C. L signed by the Founders on Healh of the Members. L. V. A. Lindsay, treasurer, organizer J. E. Gadby, president, Charles Alvarez, vice-president. Arthur H Jones, Florentine secretary A C Bishop, associate secretary R. N. Whittaker, chaplain; H Ashby, George Bell, Daniel F. Cooper, W. A. Rouse, Florentine Bateen. After reading the address of welcome the secretary handed it to the chairman, who in fitting language presented it to the Honorable Negro Leader Garvey then arose, amid a thunderous and prolonged applause, and after calm was restored he responded as follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen—Before I address you, I desire to correct a mistake of the statement from your chairman. He said I remarked that night that the professional men are the least in my estimation. I never said that last night. I said words to this effort: That there are professional men who are less important than your doctor, your lawyers, and so forth, who, in my estimation are more ignorant than the people who make up the personnel of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in spite of their college and university training, but I did not refer to all of the professionals. As far as education is concerned with the people of the U N I A, they were far more educated than the students, and I said last night so I trust my learned will take back that correction to his colleagues for the members of the U N I A. (Applause.) I am pleased to be in your midst this afternoon. I have come here on the solicitation and invitation of several gentlemen who approached me in Colon when I arrived. When I arrived here in Panama a couple of days ago, they claimed to have been representatives of several hundreds of members of the U N I A. operating in this city apart from the chartered division here, they represented a number of people who are desirous of having a charter of their own. I told them I did not know of such a body. They said that they were in communication with the parent body and have crossed correspondence with the office of the secretary general, I told them that I was not informed of such in view of the fact of being president general I am not in direct contact with the secretary general's office, here I am not informed of such information and briefings and divisions. Nevertheless, I asked them if they had received a charter. They said not yet, but that the secretary general's office advises them to await my arrival in this city, at which time I would investigate the conditions and report to the executive council my findings, and on such report they would accordingly in writing them a charter or do as they deemed. They told me that they were operating in this city, and that since they were not yet recognized, and distinction is made that the parent body at times grants charter to a body of people which is desirous of following the doctrine of the U N I A in their own confined and limited district, hence I advised the gentlemen that although they were not known as a branch, they should operate as a body of people among themselves, and what I have seen myself you as officers and members. I will take care of them, and if they do fit them will give you a charter, hence you can operate and the name of the Prospective Chapter of the U N I A in conducting your own affairs. I am indeed pleased to be amongst the members of the prospective chapter of the U N I. A. (cheers). I have to thank you for your address of welcome.

I desire to say that the U. N. L. A. embraces Negroes everywhere; that the U. N. L. A. has no national bar where Negroes are concerned. The U. N. L. A. is not insular, but is Not Trinidadian, not American, is not Parochial, is not Barbadian, is not Jamaican. It is partly a Negro institution (appropriate to you, I will join it as a Negro, but not as a Barbadian, a Trinidadian, a Jamaican or American. We recognise any one as a Negro who has one-eightth drop of Negro blood in his veins. If he does not claim to be a Negro he may stay to himself, and we welcome him to stay there. Hence you realise I am here representing not an institutional institution, not a parochial institution, not a national institution, but a Negro movement (appropriate to the Negro in the movement of universal Africa for Negroes, by Negroes, and for a Government of our own—the Barbadian can work for it, the Jamaicans can work for it, just as the Americans can work for it. Just as the Americans can work for the Panama Canal. Nobody can tell what part of the Panama Canal the Barbadian or the Trinidadian dug, but everybody can tell that it was the Negro who dug the Panama Canal (applause). Now, there is another Negro who did as you did as a Negra, whether you be Barbadian, Jamaican or Trinidadian you will be selected for that job. That is the spirit of the association. I trust you will appreciate this association for its broad views. We cannot be prejudiced in any way to any nationality, because we realize that no individual can do enough by himself Jamaica can do nothing by itself, nor any other of the smaller islands of the Antilles. Therefore we look forward to the redemption of Africa as not inular or parochial, and so with a united effort you will realize that the plan of this organization is to unite Negroes everywhere, so as to Africa. Those of you who railways, who can build buildings, those of you who are educated to be clerks and school teachers will find that work to do, and those who are lawyers will practice their law (applause). So you will see that the *N* I *A* I is not against the laboring man, is not against the work of the artisan and is not against the professional man, but if he is against the *N* I *A* I. naturally we have to have something to say to him as I did say to the professionals last night. I realize that in the ultimate achievement of our work you will find all of our Negroes pulling together, whether our teamed out against disguise or stood out against disguise. I do not care how far you go—how far you take your breath you cannot get away from your race. You will have to come back some day or the other. It is only a question of time and we will be back to our race. I do not know of any of our people who thought to be with the other races and did not express afterward a feeling of disgust and disdainment with the treatment received. Whether they marry the white woman or keep the white man's company, some time or other the white man or woman says something which makes them feel that it was better to be among their own folk. It is useless and ignorant to think that one can get away with disgust and disdain. Should unite our strength morally, physically, educationally and financially. This is the real object of the *N* I *A* I. *U* — united strength of Negroes everywhere rendering service With this unrelenting link we will be able to accomplish for ourselves the desired aims. The Nippe in the Cactus 2016 worked here. Now what is the attitude of the lathusm today? It is not what it was in the past. Those who have labored in Costa Rica on the banana farm or on the cocoa plantations of the United Fruit Company, or on the lands of other people, as soon as you cleared the lands, dam the water, plant the trees, place sanitary make the bananas grow, make the coffee and the cocoa produce, the owners of the land for whom you THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1931 worked out your pay, made your economic conditions harder, and ultimately drove you off the land and you had to leave Costa Rica for Guatemala to do what? To do the same thing in Guatemala as you did in Costa Rica. After you went there, repeated what you did in Costa Rica. same condition as you did in Costa Rica. there, you went somewhere else in fact, you went to Honduras, you duplicated what you did in Guatemala. some developments came about, and they again press you, and you move into Nicaragua, you repeated the same performance in Nicaragua, as conditions developed they pressed you economically. Where next are you going? Into Cuba. The latest report is that the Cuban Government has passed a law that only native labor must be used on the plantations in Cuba. Durant said he would be Cuba to seventy thousand West Indians who ran from the Panama Canal, from Boca del Toro, from Costa Rica and from Nicaragua. Where next are you going* You cannot go back home except you are prepared for something. You cannot go back to Jamaica or back to Trinidad because your economic conditions at home are where you left them. The white man at the top pressing. The only way you can go back home to your land, back to your home, back to your country is of true manhood. The naxk is to educate those who had never left home, who are still sleepy down in ignorance—who are as blind as a bat because they can understand nothing more than the hypocritical teachings which they get. You have to give them a new religion and new politics. Are you prepared for that? Very few of us in our country four and a half years ago and on returning I found conditions just the same. Some of my own country men have made the statement that I could not get back because I would interfere with the old time affairs and things. Just imagining that people should speak such things, but in spite of this I speak back home and told them a part of my mind, but the rest of my mind has not made main there. If I had time to remain at home, probably there would be a change of conditions. We have come to the conclusion that we must concentrate our forces and our energy the same way as we did in the construction of the Panama Canal, and on the plantations in Costa Rica and Guatemala so as to build for ourselves a permanent government of our own in Africa, and thereby not let any government or race decide how much of us should work for, but rather what that means to the masters of our own destiny and we will decide our own economical affair. That is what the U. N. L. A. seeks to do. In my few remarks to you this afternoon, I hope you have understood what we are endeavoring to accomplish. I did not speak in high classical terms, I did not speak that only students of colleges and universities could understand. I have made if my duty to speak in plain English that every man can understand me. If any man fails to understand me then it is no fault of mine. I feel sure that you understand me, and that you can plain to you. We are not endeavoring to create between races, or among any people, neither are we trying to disrupt good feelings in any way. This association wants to link up every man, woman and child of the race. The only way we can accomplish anything for ourselves, is to work while we live for the construction of an autonomy on the continent of Africa, so that our children can enjoy those things that we do not enjoy. That is the policy of the U. N. A. We want to make sure that we live to prepare for the future. There is one disadvantage, we never look for the to-morrow in our lives, we always look for to-days. You will have to change that philosophy, you will have to change your views of living for today and see that you look for tomorrow and the existence of your own posterity. The man who fails to live up to this standard will not be able to ride in his own automobile, and to live in a beautiful home and to have good concern or to make himself a good man. It is to find a place and not live in misery then that standard and you must live. Just look at the white man and see what he has done for his boy. He has given him gifts, but it is the policy of some of you to look on your boys and say, "You think I am going to work for you? Do you want good-for-nothing fellow? That is the policy of some of you. You covet working for your own children, yet you will be drunk, gamble and carouse everything in spite of the existence of your children, and you also follow the same philosophy. That is the policy of some Negroes, and until you change that philosophy we will never be better. So we of the U. N. I. A. are working for the redemption of Africa. What do we care if you do not go to Africa? If you do not want to go there, your son may want to go there. Your grandson may want to go there. The policy of the professional men and others is to help understand that we had no African brothers and members of the U. N. I. A. will know that we lost Africa some three hundred years ago, and so lost our freedom and rights, so in this movement we are fighting for a country which will ultimately ensure the freedom of our race. If you have no country you can never be free. As soon as I landed here, I was made to understand that whenever a West Indian go before the *Courts of Justice* because he is a West Indian he is fined heavier than the other fellow, although he committed the same crime as the West Indian.

Do you know why you are unable to do so? It is because you have no confidence in yourselves. But we in the U. S. A. have no reason to think that accomplishments and achievements cannot be attained. There and a half years ago, I had an insight in my mind for the four hundred million black people as shown by the N. I. A. but I understand that some of them accomplished of this. I speak now again to you about the profession. It is not because the professional class is so much against the U. N. I. A. or ashamed of it, but it is because they are ashamed of themselves—because they did not see just what they would like. they did not see that this light was a glorious one, and that the light was beginning to shine, so they are ashamed of this because they can only come in now and follow, and by this you have a revolution. You know why they are also ashamed? They are ashamed because in Panama you have elected and who is intellectually enough for the U. N. I. A., but they feel that it is the professionals who should start something he/she is going strong. He should be in your chair so as to assume leadership, and he says if I cannot get what I want I will destroy, and they said I believe only in the spirit of revenge. The U. N. I. A. and the Profession. This is a democratic age, and the U. N. I. A. is a democratic institution. We do not care what you are, what you wear. You are Negroes and should fight for the cause of the U. N. I. A. Not because you want to college or to pursue your ability, but you must show your spirit your ability and demonstrates how ignorant you are through service. How ignorant you are to elect your president because you are a preacher, a dentist, or because he is a successful business man of the day. It is narrow-minded policy. Elect a man to lead you because of his ability. Effect a man or woman, I mean, because of his superior ability. Now let me tell you that in my walks of life I have met a great many men of genius, men of intellectual power, more of such man than I have met with in the professional class, because I have met with professional men who know that they have their narrow profession. Labor is their duty, and I did not. If you are a ditch digger that is your profession, if you are a tailor that is your profession, probably if you are a ditch digger you have studied the science of digging ditches, and so you become a scientific man—what is the difference. Therefore, you see that in our profession we hold our own. You must demonstrate your ability. All of us are specialists in our own line in the family of manhood, but when the superior man comes in, all that makes him superior is simply when he demonstrates what he has done for humanity and his race. Do you know why the English made Nelson LORD NELSON? It was because of his conduct, because of the battle of Trafalgar, and if you are to live and die you must also demonstrate to your race and people as Lord Nelson—hence you realise that labor is dignified. No profession makes a man honourable, but as a man an aristocrat. You must show service to humanity and to your country and to know therefore the future of Negroes. There are some Negro aristocrats and mobs, but tell me where did they get their aristocracy—where do they get off at? (Applause.) My profession is a journalist. I spent three years in the University at London studying in order to master the principles of journalism. The time I spent doing this I could have spent as a lawyer, I could have spent as a doctor, a minister of the gospel, but I simply believed in journalism. Am I a lawyer? No, I don't. I know why I did not continue to read for the bar or continue the study of medicine. You know why I did not go in for any other profession? Because my success would have been limited to myself—a successful lawyer, doctor or clergyman, and my race would be left the same place. (Appease.) Now without any concept, I challenge any Negro doctor, who has passed through any American university, or German university, that after placing us in the same classroom to study for the same profession to give me a whipping when the examination papers were passed. I would like to see that follow. You may feel to be a minister of the Gospel today. This you can Gold Ring FREE WithScarf $7.50 Value NOW $298 MISS REMARCAST in seven pieces in immense size.

"MAIDEN AND MAN" BY LEONARD SRATHWAITE Upon the street I see her pass, within the schoolyard there she plays; within her soul, perhaps, she grape the significance of the words "launch anyhow; but now the better self in life has set in motion despair the slow love, new love, new love, new love, has her heart to alter world, she young and new sister rose into has met has proved his strength, she has tasted of the little and the sweet—mostly bitter, and she has mined to be paid without ruining. --- It was on the last day of its long run of the Prideaux Theatre that I went to see "The Emperor James," joint product of the genius of Eugene O'Neill and George Glippin. Not that I had understated the removal of its sophistication that had reached my ears in Harlem, but having plotted Mr. Glippin's curve as early as 1907 in The Voice and knowing that his abilities as an actor placed him in Chase A. The pull of the white cricket glove was not so strong on me as on many others of the colored fraternity. But now that I have seen the play I would not have missed it for a trip to France. I am still at a loss to understand how this play could ever have become a Broadway success. For its character, quality and excellence are far above the Broadway level. It is a work, I genius, too delicate in its technique to be lightly classed in any of the musical styles, and, like a work of genius, stands on its own feet and captures itself. I am speaking, of words of the play as acted; of Mr. Giligan's part I shall further on, in the book by Bean and Liveright, which contains the text of this and two other plays by Eugene O'Neill. It is mentioned as a study of the psychology of fear and of race superstition in a conspicuous critic might cavil at the propriety of the last four words, but the rest of the statement is quite correct. It is pre-eminently a psychological study. (The word 'psychology' and its derivatives are so much misused that I must apologize for using it—especially in The Negro World.) existence, which take place in the soul of painting Jones when four strips from him by one his success, bravado, and confidence, grit and the accumulated stock of restraints and supports with which "ivilization" had supplied them. It is necessary to resort to a fixture to both the reader to see how this technique, take the old-fashioned spymetry which it is short that is, as short as it will be made, yields "telescope" work. Just imagine that you could "recover" back the most advanced exercise, thus sliding one into the other until you had reduced its total length to the length of the "original" section and nearest the eye—and you will have the method used by the impressionist in stripping the soul of "the museo" down to its bare essentials, and that in why the play does not follow the conventional European order for art, and scenes. Besides, it is a real skill, play, identify monolog. will then be seen that the external setting of the drama is really of no importance in the work. Instead of the impersonal in the West, the real, self-determined by the characters it could just as readily be taken in Africa or Edgina Carolina. In the work, in within the man, not merely in its present purport to give hope and therefore the question of chance (agency or even probability) becomes the point. their chief lie is presented in eight chapters via the first of these we see the importance of being a successful faker in the army over a group of his people in the service of emperor. From an Alabar sultan who had done time as a military officer and had branman more than once in the service among a mass of emperors in a primitive state of intellect, for the superior cunning, intelligence and cool nerve supplied by emperors had prepared to rise from the emperor in two years." This account is obvious that Brutus Jones HUBERT H. HARRISON is a man of considerable ability. By appeals to the supernatural and the far away he manages to fool and cow the people while he sucks up every dollar in eight. And this is how he justifies his methods to the cringing cockney who serves as fall to "this majesty." "De. 's little stealin' like you does, and dares big stealin' like I does. For de little stealin' day gets you in jail soon or late. For de big stealin' day makes you emperor and puts you in de hall of fame when you croaks." Smithers—And I bet you got yer pile o' money in some safe place. bite me money in some late place. Janes—I sho' has! And it's in a foreign bank, where no pusson don't ever git it out but ma, no matter what come. You didn't spose I was holdin' down dis Emperor job for de glory in it, did you? Sho'? Fuse and glory part of it, dat's only to turn de heads o'de low-flung bush niggers dat's here. Dey wants do big circus show for delr money. I gives it to 'm, an' I gits de money. Do long green, dat's me every time." But the people "get wise" in time to their Emperor's graft, and, under the leadership of Lem set out to "get" him. First, they desert the palace" and take to the woods, whence the coughing boom of the tom-tom warms Jones of the beginning of the end of his imperial job, then they begin to make powerful "medicine" to offset the might of the Emperor's charm—a silver bullet. Jones in the meanwhile has made the necessary preparations for ascending (l. e. his "get away") and sets out for the edge of the forest through which he must pass. He reaches it tired and hungry, only to find that the food which he has hidden there against just such an emergency has been removed and he must face the awful ordeal of crossing the dark forest at night worn, weary and hungry. With splendid courage and grim determination he sets out to do this. But fate is against him. The forest is full of specters which haunt him, and as the visions of his past life appear, he fires the shots from his pistol, including the silver bullet, which was his "charm," reserved for himself. It is in the selection of these six episodes (scenes 2 to 7) that the skill of the playwright is put in evidence. The first shot drives off "the little formless fears," which indicate the origin of the other specters. The second shuts out the spectre of Jeff, the man whom he had killed in a game of craps, while the third dissipates the horrors of the convict-camp of his earlier days in which he had killed a prison guard who haunts him. So far it is his own personal existence which "takes back." But the soul of the individual is a bud on the stem of his ancestry; the base of the individual's mind is bedded in the roots of his race, which is moulded "of that race's experience. And in the succeeding acenes the spectres are the past horrors of a racial experience, which rise from the roots of Jones's subconscious mind. Dogged by these "haunts" he finds himself put up for sale as a slave on a spectral auction block, then on a ghostly slave ship in the dreaded "middle passage," and, finally, he is about to be offered by a Congo witch-doctor as a human sacrifice to a phantom crocodile-god on the banks of the Congo. From each agony he frees himself by a shot from his pistol, until, in the seventh scene his last shot is spent. In the meanwhile the beat of the tom-tom grows at each shot louder, nearer, more rapid and menacing, and THE PEOPLE III. Oh! 'tis well that the future is hid from our sight.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921 Here Is a Job For That Five Dollar Bill in Your Pocket the man's soul is stripped by his increasing terror down to its primitive essentials. In the grip of this terror, instead of getting through the forest, he loses his way in a circle and comes back to the point at which he first entered it. There, led by Lem, a chief whom he had injured and who waits there with a sublime confidence that the power of his "charm" will bring the Emperor back. He is shot by the soldiers of his own Negro army. And that is the end of The Emperor Jones. If the tale has any moral, it might be this. That the good Lord watches over the poor and ignorant to protect them even from clever sharpera of their own tribe. AMERICAN NEGRO LABOR BUY NOW!

In fact its great success depends as much on the effective handling of the stage director's part as on anything else The play was originally billed for a run of two weeks at the Princess Theatre, but the genius of Charles Gilpin in the title-role made it a six months' sensation Mr Gilpin's acting is creative acting It shows comprehension, power, mastery. In the character of an inflated mountebank with a ballast of threwd common sense and a cargo of cool confidence, he plays up to, but never overplays, the part. And when the naked soul is stripped by terror of all its trappings, we see the terror, yet cannot blink the courage which carries Brutus Jones through to the awful end of his ordeal. Gilpin acts with taste and discrimination. He holds his reserves of dramaite vigor well in hand, and does not use them until he has need of them. Then, in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth scenes, he "turns them loose" and rises to crescendos of effective intensity. And in this, as in other things, it can truly be said that no white actor on Broadway during recent years has surpassed this Negro actor. And it may be fairly questioned whether any has equalled him. His genius in his line is a credit to the dramaite powers of the race to which the great Ira Aldridge belonged Among our own writers a previous study of the technique of the drama is not considered a necessary proerequisite to the uttering of opinions on things dramatic; and we find that while some of them, unable to form any qualified judgments of their own, simply re-echo the encomiums of the white writers without understanding the whys and wherefores: a few others with commendable racial pride, but unfortunate misunderstanding, object that the play "does not elevate the Negro." It is necessary to explain, therefore, that the drama is intended to mirror life, either in realistic outward terms, or, as in this case, in the imaginative terms of inner experience. Mr. O'Neill, in portraying the soul-of-an ignorant and superstitious person of any race could not be so silly as to put in that person's mouth the language of a different sort of person. He did the boat he could—and he did it very well. And Mr. Gilpin, in acting the play, had to act what was in the play. He couldn't act anything else. When the forms of expression now current among our literates shall have died out, then, and not till then, will be unseemly in a play of contemporary character to reproduce these terms.

OU BOIS FROM SHEPPARD'S CONTROVERSIAL, CASKET BY WHEELEN SHEPPARD: What Archimedes said of the mechanical powers may be applied to Dr. Du Bola present "raging mind." Had he, "said Archimedes," "a place to stand up, we might raise the world." And now so it is with our much gifted and talented doctor. Were it possible for him to define ways and means with which he could work on his "mistakes," he would as mildly as poed, be the happiest mortal in the world. I have seen in the May issue of the Crisis, since publishing Part Two of "The Mistakes of Dr. Du Bola" an article written as an indirect answer to my works. The doctor, as I know him, has a mania for doing things indirectly and, indeed, judging from the raging style in which he writes in his "bubble blowing, one would think that the doctor was some escaped tenant from Bedlam. His raging can only be equaled with the ever booming temp of dreadful Cape Horn. There is a general enigma running through the whole of the doctor's article. It requires but a small glance of thought to perceive from the tone or muse of the article that he rage is the outgrowth of my works, but what, I ask, is he enraged at? If his assertions were as true as they are groundless, and if he, by the power of his pen, had annihilated the power of my books and become what he would like to be, the victor over "bubble blowers," it might excite my grief (considering myself as the author of the books) and provoke my rage against the cool, level-headed doctor; but if the works should be true bills against the author, why should they, then, excite the rage of the doctor? I repeat that, were the facts in the doctor's favor, he would have been the happiest man in the world. There would have been no end to his merrymaking. However, as we see, he cannot for the life of him turn the wheel of fortune in his favor. I was at least. In hopes the doctor would, by way of comparison, aid me in giving my works a public hearing through his well patronized Crisis. I therefore, held myself in reserve for him. He has published three issues of the Crisis since without doing this, which he certainly would not have omitted had the comparison been in his favor, and, since this is true, I cannot feel disposed to permit his sneaking, indirect inferences to pass by unchallenged. Crisis, indeed! The crisis is upon the doctor, for as we see, he cannot, or will not, refrain from his "bubble blowing." His bubbles are but theories, and as the doctor himself is but a theorist, he would not oppose it, without first putting at least one good battle, have us to believe that a bubble and a theory were not the same identical thing, as if our belief in the one could not become the selfesteem rule for our belief in the other. Reason and ignorance, the opposites of each other, of the great bulk of humanity. If either of these can be rendered sufficiently extensive in any country or among any race, the machinery operating the affairs of any government or race will move easily and merely on. Reason demonstrates its power and ignorance only, and must submit itself to whatsoever reason dictates to it. Ignorance must not dictate and shall not dominate intelligence. But I have learned that even many of the doctor's followers are beginning to understand my books too well to promise them a much longer stay in the doctor's movement, for they have found by argument and reason that it is not by any weakness of my books, but by the loss of prestige that the doctor has sustained by the super-strength of my books; and every Negro slacker of the old school, dreading the same fate, is now in mourning. The simple fact is (c) I take great pleasure in telling you that the readily defaced doctor can no more unravel works in order to make them operate in his favor and against the author that he can walk in procession at his own funeral. Part One killed him; Part Two prepared him for a decent burial, so now the New Negro is dressing for the funeral. But if the doctor will answer my works and if he can by his answer give the Race something better against my principles (which, if ou please, are the same principles laid down in the works) his answer will be cheerfully accepted and appreciated; but, if the contrary, it will not. I give not been contending for nor against any form of the government, nor for nor against any party here, nor for nor therein. Where many of the people are concerned under the same form of government, that which the dominant race of that government chooses to do it has a right to do, since the week must give way to the string. But the doctor will not admit this. Where, then, does the right exist? I am simply contending for the rights of the Negroes and against their being willed away and controlled and contracted for, by the manuscript assumed authority of a powerless person of color and, the doctor is contending for the authority of the whites over the rights and freedom of the Negroes, nationally, if not universally. No matter how sincere or insincere the doctor may be, he is nevertheless, destroying or, rather, would destroy, the very rights that the American Negroes would enjoy under a government of the own, by grounding them on a right which they can never hope of enjoying in this white man's country. We have just seen a marked instance of the in the killing of the Civil or "Begal Rights Bill" in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania in this enlightened year of our Lord, 1921! The Liberian national motto is: "The Love of Liberty Brought Us Here." Then the renowned, G. M. de la Fayette speaks: "Call to mind the sentiments which nature has engraved in the hearts of every person, and which take a new force when they are solitary occupied by all; for a people to love --- . 11 it, and to be free it is sufficient that they will it. Now, how dry, barren and obcure, in the source from which the doctor labor; and, how ineffectual though embellished with flowers, in all his declaration and his argument, compared with these clear, concise and soul-animating sentiments faw and short as they are, they lead on to a vast field of generous and manly thinking, and do not finish, like the doctors "bubbles" which, on leaving the blow-pipe, rise gently into the air and finally burst and malt away into the atmosphere of oblivion, leaving his thousands of educated fools standing nearly staring in utter amusement as if they, themselves, had been used for no other purpose than a public show. There was a time when the dominant white race disposed of the Negroes in whatever manner it pleased, we were consigned like beasts of the field, to whatever successor they appointed. This is now so exploded as scarcely to be remembered and so monstrous as hardly to believed but the peculiar political clauses upon which the doctor builds his jersey-made sociology are of the same monstrous nature But Negroes are no longer to be told that they should not think or that they shall not read and publications that go no further than to investigate principles of right or wrong, to invite Negroes to reason, and to reflect, and to show the errors and excellencies of different systems, have I stoutly maintain, a perfect right to appear. If they do not exert attention, they are not worth raging about, and if they do the raging will amount to nothing, some of them can not amount to a prohibition of reading. This would be a sentence upon the public, instead of the author and therefore, would also be the most effectual mode of making or hastening the public to pass judgment upon all those concerned who would permit works of merite to pass by unchallenged. Though I see nothing in the doctor's indirect answer worth taking notice of, save that he has said, "Bubble blowers" I will at least say this much that after having started a false propaganda against the natural principles of sociology, the doctor has declined to contest the opposing principles hurled against his which spares very ill of the doctor's sense of honesty. Yet, he has the affront, and hold indulgence to slur his master as a "Blower of bubbles." Blind, narrow, inconsistent humanity. From what colleges did the doctor take out his diplomas in the first place? I won't say education. The doctor can not plead ignorance. Dr. Bois' System. Now, instead of wasting his time in trying to outgather the stubborn facts in my books, small but invincible as they are, with any system of indirect iten, and heating himself in fractions disputations, on what he please to call, "Bubble blowers," about doctrinal points drawn from sociology. this man, Doctor Du Bola, ought to know, and, if he does not know, it is with civility that I inform him, that the first and last thing to be understood is, whether there is sufficient or proper authority for believing that his theoretical system of education will be the "sure-cure remedy" for the solution of this contaminated race question in this all-prejudiced white man's country, or whether there is not? The doctor's system proves nothing but theories; where on the natural principles of sociology can the doctor's theories be proved by material practicability in this white man's country? But, before the doctor's system can be proved worth while, in these United States, the white man himself must decide the question, and not Dr. Du Bola nor any other person of Negro blood; for the doctor's system on "acacia" doctor's system is not the only thing which the doctor is striving for), is not backed by the white man's laws or the truth of it be doubtful, it ceases to have authority, and, therefore can not be admitted as proof of anything but "Bubble blowing. When, therefore, I see the white man putting my people on an equal basis with his in any and everything that goes to make up a manly state of existence, I will, then, not only believe in the doctor's system of education, but become one of his warmest advocates, but—not before The visible fact is there can be no "equality" between the two races under the same form of government. Equality can only be attained by the Negroes measuring themselves up to the whites under a distinct government of their own. A race founded upon anything except a government of its own can not and ought not to stand. All the wrecks on either side of the stream of time, all the wrecks of the great cities, and all the races that have passed away, all are a fair warning that no race divided against itself can stand. From the happy hunting grounds of the North American Indians, from the Carrib graves of the West Indians, from the far distant lands of the Antipodes, yes, even South and Central America, from the sand-enshrouded Egypt, from the marble wilderness of Athens, and, in fine, from every fallen, crumbling stone of the once mighty Rome comes a heart-ending wall, as it were, the cry, that no disjointed, scattered race without a government of its own can permanently survive. Since then, these are historical facts and facts that noane-minded person will deny, it is needless, if not fruitless, to prolong this old non-productive period of joint debate on begging the white man for a "square deal." A square deal in any and all things can but be attained through the survival of the fittest, to do and to dare, and that adventurous spirit of pioneership and cheative genius. This, then, is the riddle of life. But, in the meantime, if the Doctor can not very well answer my works, there is but one pleasant thing that he can do, and that is, let them alone and take his defeat like a man. He would make better time trying to stop a war, but he would not resist and batter my fists in his favor with a wristful jab. The training in war THE NEAKU WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921 answers won't make him any wager. Neither will his raging or "bubble blowing" help his cause any. These who were good enough to read my answer must own that throughout the investigation I treated the Doctor with the warmest availabilities. Yet he will revilialize a study bull since he can not refuse my works. It is somewhat unfunny that in a discussion like this any one should resort to the slightest degree of raging or brain storms. The theme is great enough to engage the highest faculties of the human mind, and in the progress of the investigation of such subjects vituperation is singularly and vulgarly out of place. If the Doctor can not answer my arguments as he so desires it is no fault of mine. Nor either is it any fault of mine that his breast should be all ablaze with diplomas and models of honor. Arguments can not be answered with insults. In his mental range one would think that the Doctor had more confidence in connasion than discussion. Anger only blows out the lamp of the mind and leaves one en- BRUCE GRI BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN Hon. Phil H. Brown at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church.

The Colonel discussed labor conditions as they exist among our people all over the country and urged a fairer opportunity for Negro skilled artisans than they are now receiving from large employers of labor and from labor unions. Colonel Brown will return to New York some time in June, when he will speak again. We were delighted to see him and enjoyed an hour's walk with him on Lenox avenue and chatted of the old days when we together conducted in this city a magazine, "the best ever," that lived for one consecutive month and then died through no fault of its able editors.

The standard prices for such accommodation now ranges from $14 per week for a furnished room to $10.80 unfurnished. A house containing nine or ten rooms will yield a handsome proft to one of these thrifty profiters. Tenants all over Harlem should organize against this species of profiteering.

Leaving the unanswered articles of the Doctor, feeling, as I sincerely do, that so grand a subject shall not pass by unchallenged, I shall hold myself in readiness to answer, as best I may, the arguments that either the Doctor or his warmest advocates may feel disposed to confer upon me, thanking them in advance for any kind consideration. T'S COLUMN gave evidence of education, culture or refinement, or words to that effect. The gent with the Vandykie, was disposed to question the correctness of our dogmatic conclusion, from which we do not now redec, and he of the gold glasses with the owl like appearance vouchaffed the information which was quite proper and correct that in Holland and in countries where Dutch is spoken, the term "Nigger" is used to describe a black person and is not employed in any of safe sense. It mentioned several instances in which blacks in the Netherlands, notably K. J. Capitien, is alluded to in complimentary phrase as the "Nigger Capitien, or as we should say the black man or Negro Capitien, the better to distinguish him from a white Dutchman of the same name to carry the illustration further one of the followers of Jetsus was called "Nigger" because he was black The Spanish term for block is *El Negro*, the Latin, Niger, the German, "Schwarze", but these terms are not used offensively nor for the purpose of ridicule or to express contempt. But the English in South Africa West Africa and? in England use the term "blackie" in alluding to the Negro in ordinary friendly conversation, and the whites in America use the term "darky". But when Englishmen or Americans wish to show their bad breeding and to express their contempt for persons of African descent, they pack all the hate and venom in their systems into the word "Nigger". I snow in what contempt and loathing they hold the Negro. We still maintain that as this epithet is understood in England and America when applied to Black people, white persons of culture, education and refinement do not employ it. All we were writing for American readers, we assumed that we would be understood so meaning that the epithet, as it is used in this country and in England is infra dig when employed, by those of the white race who are, in reputation for good breeding and knowledge of the niceties of speech which characterize the spoken and written words of cultured people. We see of the opinion that "Nigger" in Dutch does not mean the same as "Nigger" in English or New Yorkers. My thanks are due to Gov Dorsay of Georgia, for a copy of his much disused pamphlet, giving in detail a number of instances of rank injustices to Negroes by white men in Georgia, and I can well understand why he is denounced so bitterly by the "pure in heart" in his State, who consider the Negro to be a little lower than brute beasts, and therefore treat them as the enemy. It is a pretty good a.g. judging from the howl which this publication has raised, that the Governor has struck a deadly blow to the forces of evil in the God forsaken State of Georgia. When a stone is thrown and a howl is heard, it may safely be put down that somebody has been hit.

Thinking Black The trouble with the average Negro is that he thinks white not black, hence when Negroes who think black and not white attempt to do things, as they believe they should be done by black men, and to say things in the way that black men should say things for the encouragement and inspiration of black men, they are called feminist, feminists, extremist, etc., by black men whose ideas, thoughts and utterances are exactly those of white men, whom they most delight to imitate in all things. The Negro World is a Negro newspaper. It does not pattern after any white daily or weekly newspaper. It does not desire to be other than what it is, the mouthpiece of the "dark and millions," who hitherto have had no language but a sigh. it is the organ of the common people, of whom the Almighty created a good many millions, and it is proud of the honor and the distinction of being different in every way from newspapers published by white men, and those published by black men whose ideals and aims and thoughts about the things that converse us as Negroes in their life are the same in no quarrel with course, with either. We are quite content to go on in the avon tenor of our way, "still achieving still pursuing" the objects which have called the Negro World into being, fighting in our own way the battles of the race, and encouraging, heartiest and timid writers to give expression to their thoughts in its columns of any question which they feel competent, or think they are competent to discuss. Thus, they will learn by practice how to express themselves correctly in print, as many of us have done and are doing. The Negro World is the people's paper, and their crude thoughts will receive as much attention and consideration from us as the, construction of the most polished and erudite of those who boast of many titles, and sheep stains. The Negro World is not a high-brow organ, not a class organ, nor a political organ, neither is it a religious organ, in the sense that it is the mouthpiece of any religious class for cult. It is God-fearing newspaper, and it respects all religions entitled to respect and it will have the courage to denounce and condemn those who merit its Censure its columns are a free forum for the discussion of all questions, affecting the Negro, and it only exacts from its constituents brevity, conciseness, courtesy and legibility, and that they will write on one side of the paper only, every little while.

Baltimore, Maryland. CUBA NEWS Today, May 20th, is the inauguration day of President Alfonso Rayon elected November, 1856. It is of the Popular Party, recently established. He is noted to be a citizen of great talent and prestige, and for that reason, it is honored and predicated that his presidency will rebound to the height of the Cuban nation. Moreover, in the date of one of the great national festivals of the Republic, and Havana especially is "in gain." The rainy season has commenced, and on the first day, all sugar mills in the island will be closed, which event will throw thousands one work. This is due to the low priced sugar; it is hoped, however, that about mid-September things will get back to their normal course. In spite of the sugar and financial situation, there are thousands of jappers and tradewomen driving here from the B. W. L and Central America in search of a better livelihood. In Mavana City there are some 78,000 people idle, and as a consequence there are lots of crimes registered in the police annals. We would counsel all people coming to Cuba or any part of Spanish America to acquire a continuing knowledge of the Spanish language, as it is of paramount importance in these countries and in world affairs; it seems to us that the study of Cervantes' idiom is rather registered in the schools and colleges of foreign lands. It is to be remembered that the Spanish language is the national and popular one of sixteenth republics of the Western Hemisphere and consequently the vernacular of 89,000,000 souls in the Americas.

S. J. DeBourgh, Lieut. Frederick and Dr. Radway Deliver Telling and Effective Addresses. The Santiago de Cuba Division was graced by the presence of the following officials of the High Executive Council on April 25, 1921: Hon. Hanchette Vinton Davia, International Organizer; St. Hon. S. J. DeBourgh, Leader of the Western; Provinces and Capital and South America; also Lsst. Provinces of the African Legions and De. Railway of Havana. The visitors arrived at soon, after opening all along the line of the Cuba Railroad from Havana, where they had disembarked from the good ship "Kanawha" some weeks before. They attended a meeting of the Executive Board of the Santiago de Cuba Division the same evening, where some momentous issues affecting the welfare of this division were ably and efficiently handled and settled by Sir Sidney, and the Right Honorable International Organizer. On April 28th, Liberty Hall shone forth in all its splendor. It was tastefully decorated. Thore, over the platform, hung the picture of His Excalibur. Hon. Marcus Garvey, while on the other side hung a beautiful painting showing a young Negro in full dress, standing on African soil, grasping in his hand the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. This beautiful picture was painted and presented to this division by one of its Cuban members, Sir Mirabay. Crowning these pictures, were flags and bunting. They were in evidence to welcome our visitors at the reception that was being held by theUNCers and members of the division. After a pleasant evening and been spent, in which your intelligence expressed their delight at being with us, the function terminated by the shaking of our national anthem, "Abolition." A summer, mass meeting was arranged to come at Liberty Hall the next evening. April 20, but rain which fell in torrent prevented anything like a showdown, as the streets were flooded. Monday, May 1, was the day set for the morning of the charter, and the division held the pleasure and good fortune of having the presence of these important men and women. The morning show was and night, after the rains the previous night; and the sun stood forth, originally through the sunshine, set the hour set for the afternoon the apadams hall was packed. At 7:10 p.m. there was not stand-up room. The program for the evening was a varied and interesting one, a theatre and musical treat. The evening commenced at 7:14 p.m. in the theater, preceding "Onward Chris Christie," was sung, and while the programme advanced up the stage and the audience of the High Executive was welcomed "Ethiopia" was sung, and the opening ods. The President Hayley have delivered a speech, the lesson for the audience. The President Mr. Chapman, informed the opening address, in whom he thanked the members and staff for their presence in such an important event. He said that he saw the curse but to give a royal welcome to the valetors, and he was pleased there was a treat in store for them, but only had the disabled visitors with them, but on occasion they would unveil the 18th Division, in the hands and grandest movement of the nation, but ever seen. the audience followed, the unveiling of the theatre, it was brought forth by our theatre manager, Mr. Haylin, who said that the life he believed he had had been only for it was chiefly theatre manager that this charter was to promote these tonight." It was presented on the chapel, and slowly faded into the little maidens before theatre, the International Organiser, who will conduct the unveiling. The show, she presented the un- derstanding for the division, after theatre and distinctly. leny, who is an interesting and published speaker, kept his hearers in an uproar of laughter, with his logic, brilliant wit, and humor; in concluding he advised his hearers to erase from their minds the thought that black is a disgrace. A hymn was sung while the collection was taken. At the conclusion Mr. Martinas our second vicepresident, who is an eloquent orator, addressed the audience in Spanish. The president again rose and told the audience that he had the honor and pleasure of presenting to them again another member of the High Executive Council, in the person of the Rt. Hon. International Organizer, Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis. Miss Davis, who arose amidst thundering applause, addressed the audience. She said in part, I am pleased to be again in this your beautiful City of Santiago de Cuba, and to join with you in this grand and noble work. Our hearts must be in this work, for it is our duty to help to strengthen the cause, we are all entitled to the same rights and privileges and we must be prepared to demand our place in the sun. We have fought every other nation's battles but our own, and the time has come when the Negroes must and will write their names in history in pages of gold. If you can fight to make America free, to make Cuba free, than you can and must fight to make Africa free. (Loud and prolonged applause.) The Irish are crying for a free Ireland, the Jews for a free Palestine, then why should not the Negro cry for a free Africa. His Excellency Sir J. S. B. DeBourgh spoke again, then the Lieut. instructed the Legions and nurses in the fulment of their duties. Miss Thomas next delivered, a rocitation, Ethiopia was nung, the benediction pronounced, and a most pleasant function was brought to = close at 11:30 p. m. Our distinguished visitors are still here awaiting the sailing of the good ship "Kanawha." On account of the strike, which has tied up the Cuba railroad, they are unable to visit the Guantanamo, Preston and Banes divisions, for, they, have been with us, and will sail on the "Kanawha," which arrived in port a few days ago from Havana. They will sail shortly for Jamaica, and from there His Excellency Sir J. S. DeBourg will go on to Panama, Rt P., where he will make his headquarters. PROMINENT MEMBER OF RIVERSIDE CAL, U. N. L. A. PASSES AWAY May 16. 1921. Dear Editor: Please allow us space in your paper to publish the following: Sterling S. Hopkins, one of the oldest and leading citizens of Riverside, died Wednesday evening at his home, 396 East Twelfth Street. Although his death was expected, it was a great loss to all who knew and loved him so well. Mr. Hopkins was born in Atlanta, Ga., about sixty-five years ago, and has lived in Riverside for the past twenty-five years. He was a member of the Mason Lodge and also a member on the advisory board of Riverside Division of U. N. I. A. Funeral services were held at Park Avenue Baptist Church, Rev. W. H. Rosier officiating, assisted by Reva. Cooker and Collins. May 14, 1921 RESOLUTION OF THE U. N. I. A.

FERRIS STIR NATIONAL CAPITAL The Unveiling of the Charter of the Washington Division—President Kirby's Great Work. By CAMPBELL MeaRAE LEWIS- TALL. WASHINGTON, D. C. May 23. On May 22, 1821, the Washington division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League of the World, unveiled its charter in the historic Howard Theatre on T street, Northwest, and laid the foundation and corerstone of Garveyism, of Negro economic salvation, of Afro-American ideas and desire for social, political and industrial liberty at home, and the redemption of Africans in Africa. It was a beautiful day of sunshine and offered a wonderful opportunity to the many invited guests of our awakened descendants of every hue and shade, in every walk of life in the District of Columbia—the oracle of diplomacy, and the kindergarten of Americanism—in which there are more than 135,000 Negroes. It was, too, a silent rebuke to the podagogue, the authors of resolutions, petitionions, memorials, et al.; local newspapermen, clergymen, politicians, professional schoolmen, and even business men of the race who had apparently a religion and a philosophy, a social and political doctrine good only for themselves which they could not share with their Christian brothers, their brethren, or their kinmen. Many of the plain people, the bread winners, the masses of Negrodom and Africandom, have turned a deaf ear and, for themselves, are listening, following, working, praying and watching with their own leaders they have elected in their great convention in New York last August, and since then they have rolled to their immortal declaration in that convention and to the standard of the constitution and bylaws, made for the governing of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League of the World. Clergymen, pastors, priests and ministers laid aside the tenets of their sect "to preach the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth and proclaim the truth that God loves," to speak of the wonderful personality of Marcus Garvey, the achievements of his movements the Black Star Line Corporation, the Negro World—the official organ of the movement, published every week in New York: the Universal Construction Loan, and, also, of the newly bought steamer, the Steamship Phyllis Wheatly. One pastor, of long standing and good report in the Southeastern, was heard to refer to the Garvey movement as "a movement with God and His Christ left out," and he actually gave notice to his flock to "wallop" and excommunicate any of his fold who dared openly to speak favorably of the movement or identify himself or herself with it in Washington, or get a new pastor. Many would be members of this growing division and movement in government employ, in schools, and in minor jobs are in accord with his Hon. Marcus Garvey's ideas, leadership, achievements, and purposes, and would co-operate in the supreme effort of the association's aims, but, said a distinguished professor, "My bread is buttered only on one side for a while." Others, like Peter, of the Disciples, at the gate of the Judgment Hall of the Roman Governor, would deny ever meeting Marcus Garvey, ever reading the Negro World Newspaper, or hearing or meeting any one of note of distinction in the movement in Washington, although nothing of it has been done in a corner in the last three years. Many, too, of the humble and meek acquainted with and personal friends of the powers that be here, who had great apprehensions, were surprised and astounded to hear read courteous letters from heads of the District of Columbia, expressing inability to attend the occasion of the unveiling of the division's charter. One editor of a recently started local race paper said he wanted to cover the object and purpose of the division's meeting Sunday, but he was unable to await the program on account of more important business. The program, itself, was a loyal and patriotic rally under the leadership of Harry W. Kirby, president of the division, to the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green—a drive for membership, an effort for a donation to the parent body, and the unwillingness of the chairmen combined. The chiefs, the applause, and the approbation of the enthusiastic assembly numbering more than three hundred members gave evidence that these three hundred princes and princesses of African lineage had thrown out the apotheosis of the African ship of Garvey—the ship of Negro economic enterprise—the ship of African political presumption and liberty in the capital with a vengeance to work to labor, and to wait in this ship while at her mooring and will not weigh anchor till Jesus comes. At 2.50 p. m. the packed auditorium greeted the distinguished visitors from New York with repeated cheers at the sight of them, as they were led by the president of the division to the stage, while the Olympia Orchestra, led by William A. King, played a selection. Among the speakers in program were Assistant Counselor-General of the association. Hon. William C Matthew, of Boston, Literary Editor, Dr Ferris, of the Negro World. Others were Ex-Congressman Aaron P Proleau, of South Carolina, vice-president of the division, and Rev. C. MacRae Lowistall, founder and former pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Fairmount Heights, D. C., of the Columbus, Ohio division, who acted as master of ceremonia. The program was opened with the singing of "My Country 'tis of Thee," followed by a prayer by the Rev. Mr Prothrow, chaplain of the division, after which the Associations Hymn, "From Greeland's Ice Mountains," and prayer were repeated. Mrs. L. B. Brye recited "The Black Regiment," which was well received. Ex-Congressmap Prioleau was enthusiastically received and applauded when he spoke on "What is the Present Need of the Negro in the District of Columbia" Mrs. Ella Bryan received encores in appreciation of a solo. The unveiling of the charter was done by two of the Black Cross Nurse who raised the two American flags while the audience sang "The Star Spangled Banner and Ethiopia's National Anthem, followed by the unveiling of the charter which was covered by the Associations' banner, the red, black and green. The address of Harry W Kirby, president of the division, was short, brief, and to the point. The Lady President, Mrs. Louise Monroe, bowed gracefully when introduced to the membership, and her pleasant smiles brought prolonged cheers and applause. Counsellor Matthews commended the Washington division and told of the loyalty and patriotism of the divisions throughout the country and in Canada, in the large cities especially they have made the purchase of the Phyllis Wheatly possible. This report brought prolonged cheers and the Washington division telegraphed and donated $100 for the purpose. Prof. Ferne Speake. The address of Professor Wm H. Ferris, Literary Editor of The World, was well received and appreciated. Dr. Ferris recounted the important facts and doings of the Associations' struggles from the start until now from New York it had spread over the wide world—adding that its growth has been phenomenal. It has attracted attention of publications of national renown such as the World's Work. The Independent, the Literary Digest, Current Opinion, the Saturday Evening Post and the dallica Among other things, Editor Ferris said Christianity startled the world because it is a religion which the rich as well as the poor, the Caucasian as well as the darker races that inhabit the globe can accept. Mme. Walker of reverent memory the first Negro Lady of America to become a millionaire, taught her Negro sisters how to take the kinks out of their hair. But Marcus Garvey has taught and he is teaching his race how to take the kinks, the dust and the cobwebs out of the brain. One taught how to improve the complexion by modern methods, the other how to invest and spend money by modern economic methods of races and nations. The former, though useful, is nothing to be compared with the cultivation of the brain. Out of the valley of the Nile the Tigris, and the Euphrates have come great men of the darker races, aborigines they may have been, yet they have founded and given to the world a civilization that has captivated the world of people. Many who criticize Marcus Garvey do not know him nor any of his ideas for U N I A. and A. C. L. His is an economic redemption among Negro descendants, his kinmas and good enough for Negroes throughout the globe. His doctrine has become a dogma, and his faith has been transformed into deeds by his sect. The Negro factory, the laundry the Yarmouth, the Kanawa, and the newly bought steamer, the Phyllis Wheatly of the Black Star Line Corporation in New York are answers to his critics. The Yarmouth represented a new spirit of industry among the Negroes. The Kanawa will cruise the Caribbean Sea or trade with the West Indian and South American states. The Phyllis Wheatly of 4,500 tons, with a capacity for nearly 2,000 passengers, will trade between New York and Africa, carrying such machinery and workers for the construction of buildings and roads and schools in Africa, and bringing from there African ebony and mahogany and other products. Good roads, good schools and good churches are the vanguards of a civilised race or nation and by developing these the resources of Africa will also be developed and made ready for possession by any one of the races. Our leaders of yesterday like Frederick Douglas, John G. Price and others have done their best as orators in America and on the continent, but in Marcus Garvey we have not only an orator capable of packing the Academy of Music in Philadelphia more than once, but an orator who is doing practical things, and one who unlike many, a self-appointed leader before him or selected, has been elected by his own race and kinship in convention. And he is teaching LISTEN BROTHER, LET'S GO! OH YES! YOU TOO SISTER Let's get right down to business. It is, really too bad we can't just sit down and have a nice little heart-to-heart chat about the NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION. You know we can understand each other so much better when we talk to each other directly. Type seems cold. But since we can't talk it over face to face, just sit right down, read this over carefully and imagine that we are talking to you face to face. THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION As you perhaps already know, is organized to build, own and operate factories all over these United States, the West Indies, Central and South America in the interest of Negroes for Negroes and to be guitwholly by Negroes. Now such a program must appeal to every Negro. Why shouldn't it. When these factories are put up and are in full operation, employment will be given any number of Negroes, and remember, they will not be confined to menial jobs. Of course, you understand that there is no disgrace in any kind of work—but there will be positions for clerks, stenographers, managers, superintendents, and so on. will be available when we have all put our shoulders to the wheel and put up these factors. There's where you can help. When we say "Let's Go" we mean lots of all pool our movies and create these factors. What pooling our monies will do and how effective it is we would like to have you take a walk to 62 West 142d Street. Perhaps you are too far away to walk up there. Anyway, we are operating a first-class steam laundry at that address. There are any number of Negroes employed there—manglors, pressera, ironers, etc. turning out plenty of work for Negroes. Then if you could take a walk around the corner to Lenox Ave. and 141st Street, you would see there a first-class millinery store and hat factory with any number of colored ladies engaged in the manufacture of hats, trimming, etc.—all of them colored—from the forelady to the errand girl. These two concerns are owned and operated by THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION. But they show what we can do when we all put our shoulders to the wheel. Now, just suppose every Negro in the World bought at least one share in the Negro Factories Corporation! Don't you realize what that would mean? Why, we would be putting up these factories in quick time and our racial ambition would be realised: our financial status would be improved; the investment would bear fruit. Why, we could go on to enumerate all the benefits you yourself and the ransa as a whole would derive. But since you too have vision and are ambitious we know that you have already visualized them. is the prospect of our ambition. It is our birthright. It proves our worth and our position. It is the test of our greatness. To all those with pride in progress it is a compelling force. BE AMBITIOUS FOR YOURSELF—FOR YOUR RACE The building of nations, the cultivation and unification of racial Nealn, the advancement of a race or nation, the increase of economic and industrial effectiveness, all these come in answer to the call of ambition.

Its entire tone was eloquent, educative, corrective and exhausted with radical hints on the best methods of health preservation. Tuberculosis may be avoided, be alleged, by a thorough observation of hygienic principles, moderation in all things, avoidance of over-work, and foolish perilous manner of dress, careless expectoration, infrequent baths, absence of fresh air, impure milk and unnecessary and excessive pleasures. The lecturer outlined the origin of the dreadful disease, gave a scientific summary of its fatal effect on humanity and cited a series of pulmonary diseases that tend to intensify its development. The symptoma, and peculiarities furnished a splendid syllogism. The terminating part of the lecture was devoted to means of prevention; at this juncture the doctor presaged his hearers to guard against the proxocity of this horrible plague which is rapidly spreading among colored people. He styled it the "White Plague," because its source is centered in the white man's vein. The audience cheered him wildly. Mr. C. Crichlow, medical undergraduate of Dalhousie University, Halifax, delivered an address on "Racial Potentialities." Mr. Crichlow is a forceful speaker. He is logical and speaks sincerely, in a style that is reminiscent of Wendell Phinis. He is a young man of deep thought, and his excisions are philosophic in detail. A student of Negro history, he reviewed the historical significance of our fathers and concluded with a stirring appeal for a new unity and organization of our forces in this the greatest propaganda that has ever baffled the world. He was cheered repeatedly. The singing of "Ethiopia" followed by the Benediction closed the meeting. The gathering dispersed all feeling inspired. CHAS. H. ESTE.

Please publish this article in next week's edition of the Negro World. Very truly yours, MISS MAYBELLE HEWITT, BOSTON U. N. L A. HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING On Tuesday evening, May 17, 1911, the juvenile Branch of the Boston Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League hold a cantata and Maypole dance at Cairo Hall, West Springfield Street. Those who attend the event in "Day in the Wood" were children of the Juvenile. Miss Adela Calander, their secretary, played the piano throughout the evening in a most remarkable manner. She has the touch of a real artist and the making of a true musician. Ten of the children took part in dancing around the maypole; the colors of the ribbons which were plaited around the pole were the Red, Black and Green. This was set beautifully done that an encore was called and the children had to dance it again—did so to their hearts' content. The cantata coming to a close for the children at 10 p.m., there was music and dancing for the older folks, until 12 o'clock. The whole party was a decided success, as the parents and friends of the children gave their hearty support by attending in large numbers. Ice cream and tonic was on sale, and disappeared in a very surprising manner. Much praise was given to Mrs. Ruth Hylton, captain of the Black Cross Nurses, who is the organizer of the Juveniles, and her assistant, for the systematic and successful war in which the play was carried out. The Jutileen Branch was formed about the first of March with a few children. It did has a full quorum of officers and children are joining at each meeting. The cantata has been their second public demonstration since organizing. On Monday evening, May 50, there will be a social for the children and their parents inclusive. CLARICE DASLE (L). Juvenile Reporter. HON. ELI GARCIA SPEAKS IN DETROIT The Hon. Eli Garcia auditor-general of the U. N. I. A & A. N. L., and Secretary of the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation, arrived in Detroit Sunday May 18th. The distinguished visitor, was sent by a party of two, W. N. L. A., members at the Michigan Central depot and was attached to the city with several welcome. Dr. Garcia appears to the Detroit Division at the regular press meeting Sunday, May 19th, and sent the New York to the city, where he presented his work for the speed of a steamer now. The pilot of the steamer, this time with shipboard equipment, arrived in Detroit. The truth is, very much, that Mr. Brown was very much mistaken with the business and business people in which he explained the working, routine of these fine ministries. As he addresses the little business man ministries, "To the Brown Man Lind and a clerics on a success." And we the U. M. K. A. members of Detroit answer, with our mail, mailing with sympathy it, is a remarkable success, not of extraordinary difficulty. And we will help to drive the pungent enterprise to the highest state of commercial expansion. A party of about thirty members of the Detroit Division U. N. L. A. wear over to Winson, Canada, on May 17th. As that plains here was a charitance, and according to the Detroit Contender (colored paper), the subject of discussion was, "The truth about the discussion movement." The following gentlemen were to speak on the subject: Rev. William Crain, Rev. R. L. Brady, Rev. Joseph Gomes and Mr. Robert L. Poston, allier of Detroit Commander. All of the preshapers were absent except the Rev. Joseph Gomes, who acted as the ceremonian. The first speaker on the program was Mr. W. C. Ocby, who represented the Rev. Brady. This man Ocby is the most ignorant grown-up animal walking on two feet, in the form of a man that was ever sent to represent asprecher Mr. Ocby began by attacking Mr. Garvey and telling the people that he is using the money for his own purpose; the American Negro knows no other country but the United States, and was not trained in big business, so he is unit to undertake the business that Mr. Garvey is talking about. The next speaker was Mr. Robert L. Poston, editor of the Detroit Confeder. The speech of Mr. Poston was like Moses' rod devouring the company's sting. Poston had been made up of too just and honest a passion to submit himself to the evil influence of hypocrites, wearing long coats in the name of Jesus Christ. This particular meeting was to be used by long-coat hippopithes to poison the minds of the people against the U. N. L. A., but the truth supported by Poston destroyed the effort of the people's enemies and caused them to hide their faces. We have always thought well of the Poston brothers and, as quite sure, that only well-bred and unselfish people can think and act as they. The last speaker was our own president, Mr. W. O. Smyr, who commanded his kiddish huh-brushed the sarcophile head. This attempted knock was another boast for the U. N. L. A. Our movement is a lion. J. N. L. REPORTER JERSEY CITY U. N. I.A. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE The Jersey City L. N. L. A. was organised last August. It now has over 800 members and is lannibbing a membership drive for the purpose of reaching the 1,000 mark.

The Jersey Grit division is a live progressive division and expects to do big things in the future. Mr. Ford has been very active in around interest in New Jersey. LOYAL MEMBER OF SANTIAGO U. N. L. A. PASSES AWAY LOYAL MEMBER OF SANTIAGO U. N. L. A. PASSES AWAY It is with regret that we have to announce the death of one of our true and active member. We refer to Miss Louise Troupe who died on the 5th inst. of typhoid fever. She was sick for some time and the malady being contagious, was ordered removed to the hospital, where she was attended always by nurses and visitors until the illness became of such a nature that visits were prohibited. She died and was buried, and members and friends could only attend the grave. Miss Troupe was a staunch supporter of the cause, ever willing to undertake some responsibility, and to work for the good of the administration, a member of the Black Troupe, Nurses and one of the five singers on this division. This division, nurses deeply in death, and saints is by nature by her pervading relatives and friends at their most on the day of her death and on Sunday. May 21st at 9 o'clock there was held here for a memorial service in the church. DAY AND EVENING CLASSES, ENTER, AS ANY TIME, SPARKING CLASSES NOW ORGANIZING, ENROLL, AT ONCE.

BRIDGeman There should be be a difference of tendency to what we mean, really, in and Z. knows that it is meant, that it should be as, as the reason to be as disposition by the part of a great many people, honesty to understand just what the movement is all about; I. have really made a humble attempt to express what I really under- stand is to be. The morbidity started by Mr. Cain was in a highly religious affair. 1. It differs from the general words of the churchmen. If use the word church in the generally accepted sense) in that it seeks to find expression not in mere "verbage" as in the bestiiles given by the average member in many churches, but it seeks to find expression in "action." Christians are not supposed to be heavens of the word only, they are supposed to be "dwarfs." Thinking minds realize that if Christianity means anything, it must show itself as something which is highly practicable. Christianity is something which is most effective not when it is talked out, but when it is worked out. Carvaryism is in this sense applied Christianity. Hence it touches a responsive chord in millions of Negro hearts. 2. The doctrine of Mr Garvey differs from that of the average church, in that it teaches men to be self-reliant, rather than dependent upon others. It tells men, instead of going around with your hat in your hand, and your hand behind your back, begging and waiting for men to hand out something to help the cause along, study how to help yourself. This dog triste says work, don't beg. You yourself give, and don't wait on chapity. Start up your own industries, and don't quarrel with other men for not taking you into their employ if they don't want to. Buy your own ships, in which you can sell anywhere if you want to; and have your own ships, you can travel first-class if you can pay the price. 3. The movement seeks to gather into one unit the scattered millions of Negroes everywhere. At the present time in America, there are at least two hundred, and sixty-six different nominations, a veritable "Babel of the nomination," Jesus says, "I pray that they all may be one." This is the kind of unity that Garveyism fosters. 4. Garveyism differs from the method adopted by the churches in general, in that it does not seek to play upon the emotions of an easy-going people, but makes direct appeal to reason and common sense. It does not tell people that the bigger the collection they give, the greater their treasure in heaven; but it does say, the larger the investment in some healthy legitimate business enterprise, the greater the returns here and now, and the greater the chances for the development of self-respect on one's own part, and the greater the chances for due recognition on the part of other men. 6. Garvayism does not teach men to impose upon God by asking him to do things for them, that they can do for themselves. It does not encourage cloth and laziness and unreasonableness; but it seeks to set free all the God-given faculties possessed by Noah. He more than freight and industrial citizens. The fact is, it tells men frankly, bluntly and, only, that God has never done, and will never do for men when they can do for themselves. 6. Garveyism differs from the method of the churches, in that it does not stress individualism, but seeks to develop the spirit of altruism. Takes for instance, the interest manifested in Africa and the Africans. If anybody is at all posted on the African situation, he knows that there is a deliberate attempt on the part of certain "Christian nations" to keep the Africans in gross darkness. Of course, this program I judge is restricted to the business men and traders. Keep who hope out of the misery of poor benefiting, blind Africans, to become Garvaryism is no shame, no hypocrisy, no mare theory. It is a workable, practicable plan to save men and unite them. It commande-itself to all-purpose minded men; and should we command itself, because it meets with the heartfelt response on the part of the masses. It calls men from absorption in local and limited views of the valley, to climb up the mountain steepa for universal glances at African communities. It calls upon men to stop "singing themselves away in everlasting hirset" to the better and bigger business of the redemption of a continent from the fragments into which it is now split up, in a great Christian unit which Christ-lived and died to maintain. Eightthousand Christians will be able and attempt to infiltrate the great mosaic heart. For, understanding the clarity, that the unity of which I speak is not nominal, but racial unity, for racial uplift. In the sense, there will be manifest the essence of Christianity which is not a mere creed or belief, but a certain kind of a living program." GREAT AND ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING STAGED AT TREN TON BY MR. H. W. SEALE The meeting was opened with the eling of "From Greenland's Ice Mountains"; second was a prayer by the Chapelah Rev. G. W. Glower; third, a piano solo by Miss Inna Wagner; fourth, recitation by Miss Larry Buschansn, fifth, address by Rev. Dan Shyler; sixth, address by General W. Glower; seventh, recitation by Master S. Barge; eighth, piano solo; ninth, address by Dr. Miller; and then, the speaker of the evening was introduced, Dr. Rea said all the oaths is afforded him a great amount of pleasure to be one mote among the officers and members of the Trenton Division." He had come, he explained, in the interest of the Black Star Line, and he wanted each and every one, to do their bit as the Black Star Line was the only knight of the Negro's progress. He outlined the future of a great, big list of steamships, and, after inducing quite a number of members to purchase stock in the corporation, launched his address for the evening. He asked the people of Trenton what were they doing, for them, families, children, and their children, children, children, could have harm, lives, lives, and burial. All persons of color are now asked to contribute liberally to the August Convention Fund. Sending your amount by postal money orders on receipt addressed to Parent Body, the Universal Minor Improvement Association. Persons authorized to collect will be granted indentals signed by the President, General (Marcus Garvey), and the Secretary General (J. D. Brewer) with the seal of the Parent Body attached, and tested by the President of the Local Division to which said person belongs. CHAPLAIN GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT. "The Chaplain General Department shall, wherever may be located, an officer from the Fort Johnson Division, the Shippen, Calhouns, and New Jersey divisions, and any Himalayas, Surly Mountains or a male snake division at Port Houston, shall divide divisions, showers are allowed that images order for examination and calculations come in to view right away. It will be an excellent point if they can be provided the closest of the conversions. We shall frank, I think that our large order has been filled but we have a few Himalayas left, but we think these will be any Catechines we are sorry, we out-nigh the country. This Mile catches the ever-warm time. TOWN OF THE DETROIT DIVISION NO. 125 Dr. J. H. Glenns, Surgeon General to Liberia, National Breast Cancer Institute on April 6, 1971, and presided for two weeks. He was to be a new and constant light shining beauty and life to refresh the mind and not struggling but hopeful division. The Boston paper at three consecutive meetings between Detroit and suburbs during the first three days after his arrival, and was responded to with joyous pleas from the people. He did not condone us in any of his utterances, but attracted attention and encouraged us ever. "I bring you love," he said, "that love that caused Christ to be said, that caused the Hon. Marvin Garvey to be seeking a place for black men in the sun. Without love, discussion will cast us into degeneracy and death. People, you must learn to love. "We are not Negroes, we are Ethiopians. Negroes have his history. As I stand before red, tonight, the blood of routinely flows through my valms. "Tell that old man, Bishop Smith, he has been in the world since Noah was born and has done nothing for the race. He has been building a whole lot of broken church walls that promises neither protection nor life." The above summary of the Doctor's speech is a good example of the truth he teaches. He is so warm that he often forgets his grammar and curses on the stage, yet no one who interviews him may doubt his scholarly accomplishment. A gentleman who has sworn to God that Africa shall be rehammed is one that has struck the writer with much admiration, and such is Dr. J. D. Gibson, the Surgeon-General to Liberla Hospital. Though calm, our Saturday night entertainment was very encouraging. The George Taylor band played as usual, and many, old, and young, in musical, bap, of, right, and laft, police dashes. A special meeting was arranged for Sunday, April 10, in which the charter of the Detroit division was spectacularly unveiled. The performance on this occasion was both interesting and plausible. Twenty-five of the Black Cross Nurses, in full uniform, marched up the platform at the call of the indy vice-president, Mrs. M. J. Burton. They then formed a straight line, white two of the ladder held the charter. Two large flags, the Stars and Stripes and the Red, Black and Green were then exhibited. The surgeon general, Dr. J. Dr. Gilbert, brought in the N. H. J. flag over the face of the charter, replayed the ceremony, Ethiopia, then moved to our Café. Then we played by Joseph Taylor on the ten pieces by the composer. William will main stand as a host. The chaplain. Buttress, then praised and blessed the charter after which the surgeon general solemnly delivered the same to the voting president, Mr. James, N. Lowe, Mrs. Jillian, Willa, head of the Black Cross Nurses, arrived in time to take part in this theme of the performance. It was loudly applauded by the audience of about ten people. which, according to the account of the prophet our diviners, the attendance was farce, the minister-populist and the audience ourselves and enclosing. The ardent bishops and the saints I. Peter, the advocate of the monarch, open the gates on the people, by showing them from the study of Hamlet history and philosophy, tradition, the twenty-ninth chapter of the medieval, verses 18, 19, 20, the ninth, ninth-century, from the eleventh, the twelfth, verses all show the over-throat, of an ancient African spirit, the scattering of Africa, people in the houses of burgesses, women with burgesses and their return from burgesses back into Paira, Africa, the land of that burgallion. We are all blessed, the those presidents that are not for, the movement are, they the government are persuasion, who were worsened God by teaching the message that God shall bless them not, the God that a burgallion hasted our death. He compelled us to show that if these presidents were right, God would not be drilled them to have blinded that, and we were from the same (3) Another cargo of 250 tons of Cocoa on the way. (4) We have sent four (4) Purchasing Agents to Africa: one to Liboria, two to Gold Coast, one to Lagos. (5) We have direct connections with leading African chiefs and merchants. (6) Dividends will be paid from net profits (7) Stock sold in $200 blocks (installment plans), $20 down and $10 per month. a happy subscriber for (20 shares) £500.00 Block of Stock and forward money will be paid part payment on equal, balance in monthly installments. More It is good that one present civilization has good stock, mind, that that thousands of good people, responsible in every way, are killed, and year after railroad crossings, Strange that, as yet with the inventive genius of America, that no way has been found to solve this problem. It would be better to put all the railroads of the country under, ground, than to have this ruthless destruction go on year after year, as wasteful and devastating as war itself. Why do not our money-loving civilians come down to, the real issue, and stop this nonense, of having presidents, automobiles, and wagons cross the death tracks, or in other words, the railroad crossings. Our legislature should make a law that no road should come in contact with the railroad, that it must either go over it or under it. Such a course would possibly incur some expense, but the expense would be more than met in three or four years of property saving and life saving. Why cannot we see the waste of having a train run into an automobile full of pleasure seekers, sometimes killing the whole family? If a man grows temperately unmindful of his duty, that may cause him to cause the railroad thousands of dollars. A man can be thinking of some domestic troubles, some unkind word spoken, or for that matter some word kindly spoken, or on some circumstance or condition that may be all absorbing in its nature, and temporarily overlook his duty, which will cause him the loss of his own life and the lives of those who are riding with him. There ought to be a law made in all the States that every crossing must either go under the railroad or over if safety first is the slogan of the day and hour. J. D. GORDON, New York City. Congressman Slemp of Virginia, and Frank Hitchock, former Chairman of the Republican National Committee and former Postmaster General under President Taft, have been known by the Associated Nerv, Praise to have conflated, and if it is the well-founded opinion, that the subject of southern political conditions, as they affect Colored Americans, was thoroughly discussed. Congressman Slemp is chairman of the sub-committee of the Republican National Committee, that has the matter of dealing with delegates to the national convention, under considerations. Congressman Slemp is known to be the chairman of the first degree, according to colored Indians. Frank Hitchock, for years, has been known to be obsessed with the lists of building up a Republican party in the South, in which colored citizens, would practically be eliminated, except, possibly that miserable few of "Uncle Toms" who would do the madding of their masters. The situation has reached a crisis in Washington, and has superceded all other considerations. The subject of patriarchy has become nothing, as compared with it. In that, on account of patronage, Robert K. Church, a former President Harding, and Francis Harding, President Harding on the subject, about three weeks ago. The conference was one of confidential exchange of opinions and policies. Mr. Church has not apprted The Associated Negro Press of the details of this conference, but it has been learned from reliable sources, that President Harding was painfully franks in letting it be known that there are to be cerain limitations of the administration in appointing colored men to office. In other words, the Harding Administration, in cooking honestly to apply the tonic of justice, will not go so far an to appoint colored people to positions that will bring forth bitter comment from white southerners. In other words, the Harding status of the race, in the Republican party, that all factionalism has ceased, and all the well-known leaders throughout the country are presenting a solid front to the common enemy of the times, "Lilly White." Democrats Taking Notice. Democrats in Washington, and throughout the South, are taking special notice of the moves of the "Lilly Whites." Office-holding, and the spoils of office, have been the magic combinations that have held southern Democrats together, with anti-Negro propaganda as the big issue. Now, it appears that this very papaganda may be the means of a marvelous chango in southern conditions. It is known that in certain states of the South, where Democrat have become alarmed at this "Lilly White" Republican activity, that certain suggestions are being made to certain colored leaders to the effect that, if Democrats should be endangered in office holding, they will form a coalition with Negroes, with certain political understandings, and permit them to vote. This matter is having very serious attention, according to exact information coming to The Associated Negro Press from most reliable sources. On the other hand, Negro Republicans, throughout the North, where their votes count in close years, have been outspoken in their expressions that no "cute tricks" can be pulled off by the Republican National Committee, that will not find reaction in Senatorial, Congressional and gubernatorial elections in 1822. Practically every newspaper in the country has set forth editorial opinions, backed by expression from the people, that bear out this statement. The influence of the Negro newspapers in moulding and directing the most remarkable things of the times. The letter of Charles D. Hiles, National Committeeman from New York, protesting in cutting down southern representation, and declaring that it would endorse disfranchisement; the expression of William Plekens on the subject, in a special contribution to The Associated Negro Press, have had weight. PHYSICAL HYGIENE ARMY FORGED IN NEW YORK The Physical Hygiene Army has been formed in New York, with headquarters in 174 Humboldt Avenue, in New York, Long Island. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune will have charge of the Harlem office. The program involves home hygiene and systematic sanitation among the masses. (of America, Africa, the West Indies, Central and South America) ARE REQUESTED TO FORM THEMSELVES INTO BRANCHES OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION and AFRICAN COMMUNITIES LEAGUE OF THE WORLD FOR THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE SENTIMENT AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE 400,000,000 OF THE NEGRO RACE ORGANIZE FOR RACIAL PROGRESS, INDUSTRIALLY, COMMERCIALLY, EDUCATIONALLY, POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY ORGANIZE FOR THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING A GREAT NATION Any Seven Persons of Liberal Education of the Negro Race Can Organize Among Themselves and Apply to the International Headquarters for Necessary Instructions and Charter, Provided There Is No Chartered Division in Such a Community. 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF DEPUTIES From the Branches and Chapters of the Association of Every Country in the World, Will Assemble on the 1st of August, 1921, at Liberty Hall, New York THE GREATEST MOVEMENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE NEGROES OF THE WORLD The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League wants every black man and woman to become an active member of the organization. If you have pride, if you feel that by co-operation we can make conditions better, if you believe that the black boy or black girl is the equal of other boys and girls of other race, then prove it now by co-operating to demonstrate our manhood and womanhood, not by talking, but by doing things. The general objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, are: To establish a universal confraternity among the races 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 communal societies in the principal countries of the world; for the protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality; to establish universities, colleges and schools for racial integration; to cultivate our young men and women; to promote daily, widespread commercial and industrial commerce for the benefit of the least; to work for better conditions among our people to promote industry and commerce for the betterment of Negroes. If these objects do not appeal to you, then you are, dead to all stages of race, pride and race manhood. IN EXCITEMENT WITH AFRICA To imaginative youth Africa stands for mystery, endless deserts, fungles and dark forests, towers snow-clad plains, the lost coasts of the Moon, cataract beds which Nigrae is a smear, diamond multitudes of black slaves, elephants, lions, camels, and other strange denizens of the zoo. It means ruins of ancient cities, great gold camps, diamond-mines, strange tribes and strange customs, cannibals and pyramids. It is the land of adventure. To the student Africa means destroyed nations, vast tombs, and the thoughts of men long dead, given to us to read on miles of stone carvings. It is still the land of adventure. To the hard-headed, unromantic business man, who cares nothing for the past and little for the future, it is the land of greatest risks and quickest returns. It means miles of mills grinding out gold day and night, without ceasing, grinding it out literally by the ton—the greatest gold camp on earth, a vast black army of Kaffres digging forever in endless underground galleries. It means diamond fields, supplying the whole world with those amazing stones, copper, too, and sincere, lead, tin, iron, coal, rubber, ivory, palm oil and spice. It is still the land of adventure. "To the statesman and philosopher Africa beckona with a seductive finger. During thousands and thousands of mankind has marched into that mysterious continent. They have built cities and founded countless colonies, but a fatal blight has ended all. It is truly the dark continent; the very blackness of her people is but a symbol of the death that lurks within her. The tracks of h hundred nations all point inland, but none return." Thick walls were built by Vasco d Gama along Africa's shores, and the continent was laid at the feet of his sovereign—in vain.
