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.

But today in the United States of America women are graduating from the universities, going into business, entering the learned professions and voting. In the National Capitol we have a conspicuous example of efficiency in a young colored woman. Mita Ollie M.

She served five years as clerk and four years as secretary. Miss Collins has had an exceptional record in the Law School. She has collected more money from the student body than any other secretary. There has been less friction between the office and the students than ever before. She is respected by both the faculty and the students. She is dignified, courteous and tactful. And we believe that the colored people of America would regard it as a fitting tribute for the president and trustees of Howard University to show their appreciation of her work and service by appointing her as a de facto secretary of the Law School at the coming commencement.

In the future, the Negro residents of Harlem who desire to avail themselves of a free employment agency must go down town to the State Industrial Bureau at 46th Street, between Broadway and Fifth Avenue, at an expense of dime and cartage. Mrs. Corrine McKaine and Mr. M. M. Shipperson Young had charge of the women's and Mr. Frinee X. Edwards of the men's department at the bureau at West 135th Street, and all were faithful in the performance of their duty. From 50 to 75 colored women secured positions daily through the women's department and it is a pity that a bureau which was rendering the Harlem public a service should be closed.

Why cut down representation in the Republican National Convention then? It would seem the Grand Old Party is officially recognizing and approving of the disfranchisement of the Negro. Is the Republican party ready to discredit Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, Levi P. Morton, George Boutwell and other great leaders of the reconstruction days? 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. By reminding us that in every generation, the nation and its people have well deserved the memorials that we have made. ```markdown ``` --- Communicators are required to write as one side of the paper and add a commensurate type of a side-page in used for publication.

Hence, the national capital last week we met a farmer teacher in the North, who is now in the active profession, and asked him why he had retired from the professor's chair. He asked he asked we wrote. Unknowingly he gave us a theme here. 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. The result is that the best Negro colleges have fifty per cent of the intellectual strength that they are." we returned to thinking." And then, when we returned to reading on the Challenge Magazine and read an article in the *Miltonian* (1922) Open-patent treaty of 1890 of "The international law in their own words and in all of the international law, Shaw, Child, Cladin, Howard and Laquoin, and others," but by the means open to condemnation and misinformation, while not nearly, what is needed for the international law because of the manner in which they have philanthropists from utilitarian motives, will pre-empt or of which we are capable of sending up." the results of the Negro World an opportunity to unite ourselves. 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." NOTICE Headquarters of the Department of the Minister of Legions. General Order No. 3. To all divisions of the United States and of the world:—Know ye that the headquarters of the different departments of the U. N. L. A. are to be found at No. 58 West 123rd street. New York city, and that all divisions, especially the auxiliaries of same, such as Legions, Black Cross Nurses, Motor Corps, etc., are requested to send their communications to this office direct. Unless this is done this office will not be responsible for uniforms and other paraphernula sent out from New York city by irresponsible people belonging to the U. N. L. A. The headquarters for Legion, Black Cross Nurses, etc. are to be found only in the office of the Minister of the Legions, and no inferior officer has been appointed to set up headquarters, other than the aforementioned, and any party, or parties presuming to write your name. 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.

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".

Regardless of whether we like them or no, men like the Grimkea, Hart Richards, Kelly Miller Cromwell Herahaw Tunnel and other Washingtonians whom we might mention, who reverse intellectual things are needed in the Negro race. 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.

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?

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. That we walk in the sunshine nor dream of the cloud. That we cherish a flower and think not of blight; That we dance on the loom that may weave us a shroud. IV.

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! STOCK IN THE BLACK STAR LINE $5.00 per S 10.00 SHARES UNIA U.S. News Pass Buch is the play as written The play as produced was a marvel of stage-setting and stage effects. 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.

FERRIS STIR NATIONAL GAPITRL TALL : (epectal Gorrespondsnt.) WABHINGTON, D.C. May 23— On May 23, 1931, the Washington 4i- vision of the Universal Negro Im- provement Association and African Communities’ League of the World, un- velled its charter in the historic Howard Theatre on T street, North- | ‘west, and laid the foundation and cor ueratone of Garveyism, of Negro econ: omic salvation, of Afro-Amen.can ideas and desire for coctal, political and In- Gustriat liberty at home, and the re- demption of Africare in Africa. It was, a beautiful day of sunshine and offered 8 wonderful opportunity to the cany Invited gueste of our awakened de- ecendenta of every hue and shade, in every walk of life in the District of Columbia—the cradle of diplomacy. and the kindergarten of Amerieaniam— fn which there are more than 135,000 Negroes, It was, too, a silent rebuke to the pedagogue, the authors of res- ojuttons, petitions, memorials, et al. 411 local newspapermen, clergymen. politicians, professions! achoolmen. and ‘even business men of the race who hed ‘spparently @ religion and a pliilosophy. a aocial and political doctrine guod only for themselves which they could not share with thelr Christian brothers, thetr brethren, or thetr kinamen. Many of the plain people, the bread winners, the masses of Negrodom and African- dom, have turned a deaf ser and, for themselves, are lstening, following, working, praying and watching with their own leaders they have elected in thelr great convention in New York est August, and since then they have rolled to thelr immortal declaration in that convention and to the standard af the constitution and bylaws, made for the governtiig of the Univeral Ne- gfo Improvement Association and ‘African Communitie# League of the Word. Clergymen, pastors, priests and min- fatora Isid aside the tenets of their ‘eect “to preach the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth and proclaim the truth tliat God loves.” to speak of the won- of Marcus Garvey, oe rratheath oo bik‘mavenents the Black Star Line Corporation, the Ne- gro World—the officiel organ of tha movement, published every week to New York: the Universal Construction Loan, and, also, of the newly bought ageamer, the Steamship Phyllis Wheat- ly. One pastor, of long standing and good report in the Southewem, was heard to refér to the Garvey movement ae “a movement with God and His Christ left out.” and he actually gave notice to his flock to “wallop” and ex- communicate any of his fold who dared openly to speak favorably of the movement or tdentify himself or her- self with it in Washington, or get & new pastor. Many would be members of this growing division an&é movement in government employ. In schools, and in minor jobs are in accord with his Hon.

One editor of @ recently. started local race paper ‘said he wanted to cover the object and purpose of the division's meeting Bun- day, but he was unable to await the ‘program on account of more impor- tant business, ‘The program, itself, was a loyal Jand petriotic rally under the leader- |ship of Harry W.

One taught how to improve the complexion by modern methods, tho other how to in- vest and spend money by modern ‘economic methods of races and na- tions.

Stanton, the刻者, the trans- bactial, and Mr. M. Osmond, the king of the corrupt are among recent contributors. Miss M. Willow, the favorite queen, was charming in her solo, "The Golden City, in which heroes conquer, as an auto-accompanist revealed, that her artistry is pre-eminently enriched in its interpretation. Mrs. N. McKinley was soothsayer, and captivating in her Calling for Keez." Dr. A. Gaspard delivered an instructive lecture on "Tuberculosis." The attention given to him was unshaken. The lecture was rich and noble in appeal with a climax which penetrating. 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. Montreal THE LEGIONS OF NEW ABERDEEN DIVISION On Tuesday evening, April 20, the Legions of the New Aberdeen Division met for the purpose of electing permanent officers and transacting other business. The meeting was called to order at 7 p. m. Deputy R. E. Riley acted as chairman. The opening ode, "From Greenland's Iy Mountains," was heartily rendered, followed by a prayer from A. small, president of the Division. Among the officers of the Division press, are Secretary W. T. Hunte, Treasurer Francis, and the leader of the Black Cross Nurses. Election of Officers The officers were then elected, as follows: L. Butcher, major; J. Harris, senior captain; O. Ring, junior captain; G. Darlington, 1st lieutenant; M. Lucas, 2nd lieutenant; C. Paris, sergeant major. The following were next elected as policemen: D. Alleyne, I. Brewster, J. Higginson, W. Burke, J. Eastmond, and A. Haynes. All of these officers and policemen were sworn in before Deputy Riley under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green, to protect the flag of the African Empire, and to serve under the laws of the same. The stirring addresses were given. The Ethiopian National Anthem was next sung, which brought our meeting to a close by singing the Christian Soldiers" and a prayer for the High Executive Council, the Black Star Lynne and the Hon. Marcus Garvey. C. S. GREENE Acting Sec. N. A. L. W. T. HUNTE. Gen. Sec. N. A. DIV. U. N. I. A. BRANCH ORGANIZED IN GARDI, GA. May, 1911. Dear Comrades of the U. N. L. A.: We, the Gardi, G.

A. & A. G. hold a delightful meeting at Massau Hall on Webster Street; quite a few members and friends attended. The meeting was opened by singing the National Anthem, "Ethiopia," and with the official prayer offered by Rev. Brooks. The president gave a few remarks stating that Sunday was observed de "Power Service Day," and that the procedure would be contributed towards the Conventing Fund.

Last Sunday the New Haven Division was highly honored by having with them Mary A. Johnson, a field worker and a member of the Executive Council of New York. She delivered a stirring address. It was also instructive and amusing. After she concluded her address she was greeted with a tumultuous applause. Years fraternally, MAYBELLE HEWITT, Associate Recruiter. 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. Liberty Hall, at $40 Third St., was packed to its utmost capacity on Friday evening, May 27th. Mr. L. Benjamin Sutton, the president, presided. Addresses were made by Mr. Howard Morris, vice-president of the division, Mr. H. E. Ford and Prof. W. H. Furie, Mr. Dickerson, the manager of the Negro factories corporation was present to look after its interest. The officers of the division are Mr. J. B. Sutton, president; Howard Merida, vice-president; Arthur Ferrebee, executive secretary; B. Morgan, general secretary; James W. White, treasurer; Isaac Blanding, assistant treasurer; Charles J.

Bell, head of Black Cross Nurses; Mrs. Jennie Oates, leader of Motor Corges; Mrs. Margaret Davis, leader of juveniles. Dr. Gibson addressed the division a week ago Sunday. 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.

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.

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.

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. Napoleon touched it for a moment, fought a romantic battle, and wisely withdrew. The force Turk held a corner for a time, and his power has crumbled to dust. Latest to appear on the scene are the nations of modern Europe, whose struggles for possession have been like those of a pack of wolves. It is still the land of adventure. But today a nation has been newly founded in Africa—the only one, properly to be so called, since Egypt, the lead of the church of the Church of its boundaries, raised from the Church of the Cave. In itself it constitutes a mighty empire, and it owes its creation mainly to the genius of Caelid John Rhodus. This is the story of the mission of Rhodus, a vast territory in South Africa, which was added to the British Empire by the almost unbelied WHENEVER THEY Reliable and Rescue W. G. R.
