(By Our Special Correspondent.) TULSA, Oklahoma. June 5.—The Negro district of Tulsa was confined to a section of land, about a mile square, in the northeastern portion of the city. It, more directly speaking, lay between the forks of the Midland Valley, Frikee and M., K. & T. railroads. The business and industrial section of Tulsa has in recent years built up to the Negro belt, which when it was first located was an isolated spot in the lowlands. With the coming of the oil boom and the rapid expansion of the business district of Tulsa, it was soon discovered that the only available trackage property left in the city was completely covered by the Negroes in this black belt. TULSA, Oklahoma, June 5.—fined to a section of land, about a mile of the city. It, more directly spea Midland Valley, Friko and M., K. Industrial section of Tulsa has in rot which when it was first located we With the coming of the oil boom and district of Tulsa, it was soon discover property left in the city was compl black belt. Some time ago the railroads attempted to purchase a large tract of land: beginning at Athens and running north and east, for deposit and terminal purposes. The attempt failed. Individual Negroes had been offered large-sums of money to release their holdings along the railroad rights-of-way; but to no avail. In fact, the inhabitants of this most prosperous black community each year proceeded to get a firmer hold upon this much coveted section, by the erection of permanent brick structures and the increase in land holdings. To show that the natural trend of the business district was in this direction is but for one to go on east past the Negroes and observe that the industrial section had been continued from that point. 64,000,000 Property Loss. Greenwood, the principal street in the Negro district, was paved. At night it was a seething mass of black folk, equaling Chicago's State street, or Beale street in Memphis. The statement that the Negroes lost $1,500,000 worth of property in the colossal tragedy of the 1920s, and the loss of more than 700 homes and 700 business houses the Negroes of Tulsa sustained a loss of more than $400,000. The two of the finest Hotels in America owned Negroes went up in smoke. The Welcome store carried as large a stock of groceries as any store by whites in Tulsa. Mrs. Williams, proprietor of Dreamland theatre in Tulsa, Mukogee and Okrugge, was perhaps one of the formetless Negro business worth in the United States. She has one three-story brick on one wood which housed a big confectionery and the older hours were used as a school for professional man of the race. Further down the street was the theatre, the pride of the Negroes of the city. On this street were located three drugs as and two newspaper plants. The plant of the Tulsa Star was worth $1,500,000, while 150 business buildings cost $1,000,000.

In their drift that Tulae not only dug through the lines of the black air, not alone did she want the furnishing the jewels, draperies and money in the house of the blacks, but this latest fire TULAE COVERED ALSO THE VERY LAND UPON WHICH BLAKE MEN DWELT. There are today in the jails of Tulae 175 white personal charged with looting. All up and down North Detroit the officers have gone into white homes and taken out planes, jewelry, carpets, silverware. One white woman said she saw a white man go into one black man's yard and drive away in his automobile. As far back as West Tulae, across the river, many loads of the treasure from the vandals who, according to the story of the refugees, took their loot in the presence of the Home Guards of Tulae. Home Guards Fire Building and Help Looters. For example, a Negro druggist who before the conflagration owned a beautiful boma about a $10,000 stocks of drugs and who for the past five years employed at least six members of the race in his establishment, tells this account: "About seven o'clock in the morning the Home Guards set fire to the buildings on Boston street. I could see them in their uniforms before they reached my place. Finally they came to my establishment and broke the door and ordered me out. They put me in an automobile that was at the front door. Before we drove away the booties and guards and myself TOP OPEN MY CASH REGISTER AND WERE PRYING OPEN MY SAFE." The business was entirely destroyed. Men with tortures followed in the wake of the looters and set fire, for the obvious purpose of covering up the vandalism of the cowardly wretches who having scattered, will never be apprehended. Holtman, former president of the State Medical Association, was shot down by a white boy about seventy years ago according to a witness. He was running out of the basement of his house, which was in flames, with his hands in the air, two heads from a hospital has returned, for appearance, set the street. He was put killed instantly. His body was thrown into a grave, and every body after he leaves of suffering, without medical attention, he died from illness of blood. slided pursuit by the hundreds of countries by riding in the thicken W. k. Brown, a porter on the Earls Railroad, and who reached Tulsa Wednesday morning with the Naval Air Guard, recites this story: "We reached Tulsa at two o'clock. Alphapines were diving all over Greenwood. We stopped our cars north of the Earls depot, going towards Sand Fireings. The heavens were lighted up as pals on day from the many fires over the city. We saw a window that two alphapines were doing most of the work. They would every two seconds drop something and every time they did there was a loud explosion and the sky would be filled with flying debris." There seems to be no accurate statement as to the actual death list. Quite另 side. Gordon Grady, who reported the affair in a statement in the newspaper, saw dead bodies hung away on trucks until I was sick, and scores of Negroes lay in the afternoon." A letter from a prominent Negro in the city of Tula to the writer states that from what I know, the number of hundred were killed, equally divided between the two races. According to the Tula paper Tuesday, the authorities "like the beginning of the Good Healer's life, when Board over the charges of whistle-blower, board over the charges down who were not engaged in the conflict.

Our investigator went far enough in interview the proprietor of the building where the alleged attack is supposed to have taken place, that man who went to the girl when the difficulty happened.

The gentleman who owned the building said that the affair had happened two days prior to the attack, and considered of such little consequence, so trifling, that he himself had not heard about it until the stiton was on. The story of Dick Howland, as told by many Negroes who say they knew his story, is to the effect that when he entered the elevator he stumbled and fell down, and struck him. After he asked her to examine him, she used, according to what Howland is alleged to have said, a stick or something that was lifting in the elevator and he grabbed her arm to keep her from stirring him again before he left the elevator.

Hu Xing-Ming's article on "Uncle- lized United States" originally was published in the North China Standard of Peking, China. It was republished in the magazine section of the New York Times last Sunday. In the course of his article Mr. Ming says: "In my opinion, the only spiritual assets of the American nation, the only piously spiritual things which the Americans as a nation have done that, if they as a nation were destroyed tomorrow, will be remembered by then of after generations are the work of Poe, "Annual Lee," and the arrival of the plantation songs of the Negroes of America. In the true sense of civilization, an ordinary Japanese Geithus is more pivilized than most American pro- fessionals with all their pragmatic chil- der and political policies. FREEMO, Cal.

Now the child comes into the world with no ideas but only an innate and inherent capacity for receiving ideas. The sights and sounds of the physical world are photographed upon the plastic mind of the child. His parents, school teachers, uncles, aunts and older brothers and sisters and elders with him he associates, the speeches and sermons he hears, the newspapers, magazines and books he reads, the laws, customs, social usages and manners of the country in which he was raised inculcate in him the intellectual, social, moral, political and religious ideas and ideals, which shape his character and govern his conduct.

It has a reflex psychological reaction upon him and breeds in him a fatalistic pessimism. Prof. Wm. James said that fear thoughts inhibit human initiative and energy; consequently the thought that "I am black and despised by the world and only valued as cannon fodder in times of war" inhibits the initiative and ambition of the Negro youth.

We will leave the written information to the public. We will interest the public. Unlike our contemporaries we will not charge advertising or other rate for publishing any news item that is of public interest. And that is why colored students who make brilliant records in high schools and colleges frequently shrink, as Emerson said, from forming colossuses to the common size of men the moment they put their fiery steeds of the sun to plough in the world's furrows. But the glory and grandeur of man resides in the fact that he can overcome both a hostile physical and social environment. Man's conquest of Nature, his steam-heated and electric-lighted flats, his skyscrapers, suspension and cantilever bridges, his subways and underground tubes, under river beds, his automobiles, palatial steamships, submarines, airships, telephones, telegraph and wireless telegraphy testify to man's ability to overcome his physical environment. And the rise of the Hebrew race through the persecution of the centuries to the commanding position that it occupies in the financial, political, philosophical and mathematical worlds through Rothschild, Schiff, Disraeli, Lord Reading, Spinoza, Bergson and Einstein testifies to man's ability to overcome a hostile political and social environment. 11.

PRESIDENT HARDING AND THE NEGRO. HR utterances of a new President of the United States are closely watched the first six months of his administration, for they indicate his trend of mind and the ideas which will shape the action. And these utterances of the chief of the nation outwaves of influence. What Mohammed Askia, Touissaint l'Overture and Emperor Menelek achieved in war and statesmanship, Phyllis Wheatley and Dunbar in poetry, Douglass and Ward in oratory, Kelly Miller and R. T. Browne in mathematics, Banneker and Just in science, Scarborough in Greek, Blyden in Arabic and the philosophy, Groves and Deal Jackson in farming, Hatton in architecture and a Dutch Guiana Negro, Granville Woods, Elijah McCoy, Lewis Lattimer, Baltimore. Forten and John Turner in invention are only prophesies of what the Negro can accomplish in the near future if he will but falter not, but under God's fair skies press on through the bushes and brambles, the rocks and ravines, the forests and fields to the sun-kissed heights beyond. And that achievement will undoubtedly affect the world's attitude toward the sons of Ham. President Wm. McKinley told a delegation of colored men that the two problem would be solved in the hearts and consciences of the American people. President Theodore Roosevelt said when the train came up that he would not shut the door of hope in any manner because of his color. President Wm. Taft in his inaugural address said that he would not appoint colored men to office where the Southern whites objected. President Woodrow Wilson extended to editor Wm. Monroe Trotter and his delegation that race the American West lack like the law of gravitation. Next week we will take up what President Harding said about education and as to whether he will follow the policy of McKinley, Roosevelt or Taft regarding the black man's aspirations. Consequently President Harding's address at Lincoln University was regarded as significant, as it revealed his attitude towards the national citizenship of America. The address was not characterized by a national historic, by mobile battery or an appeal to the gallery. It was an evasion or straddling in the address. It was a clear demonstration of fundamental truths., And we desire to call attention to the address. BISHOP SMITH'S BIG BLUFF. BISHOP C. S. SMITH of the A. M. E. Church, who resides in Detroit, Mich., has sent an advertisement to several newspapers, claiming that he will give $1,000 to the party who will give him information about the Black Star Line owning absolutely and in fee simple any boats which trade between the United States and the West Indies. A couple of months ago the celebrated divine published another advertisement stating that he would give $500 to anyone who would inform him from what port the ploneers of the U. N. I. A. sailed for Africa, when they sailed and where they arrived. We gave the information in an editorial about a month ago, and have not yet received the $500. It would come very handy and expedite the publishing of a book which is in the hands of a publisher, or enable us to attend Dr. Du Bois' Fan-African conference or to take a trip to Monrovia. President Harding said first: "One of the great difficulties with the federal government is that the citizenship expects at the hands of government that which it should do for itself. No government can have a magic wand and take a race from bondage to citizenship in the century." The long struggle between the Patricians and Whigs in Rome, the long period through which serfdom prevailed in England, the oppression of the peasants in France before the American revolution and the oppression of the peasants in Russia before the Russian Revolution testify that a race cannot rise from the lowest political status to full citizenship, in a day or generation militar revolution. And no further comment is needed here. First as to the $500 proposition. The Industrial Pioneers of the U. N. I. A. sailed from New York on the Buenos Aires for Cadiz, Spain, on February 3. They arrived in Cadiz, Spain, on February 17. They sailed from Cadiz, Spain, for Monrovia, Liberia, the last week in February and arrived in Monrovia the first week in March. The Negro World three or four weeks ago published the account of the reception tendered them by citizens of Monrovia. The party consisted of two officials of the U. N. I. A. and architects and mechanics. An agriculturist had preceded them to Monrovia. If Bishop Smith doubts our word, let him send a cable to Monrovia, for he evidently has money to burn, and verify our statement. Now that we have given him the desired information, he can send the check or money order for $500 to the Literary Editor of The Negro World, 56 West 135th St., New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. And then President Harding wisely said: "All that the government wants, No, it is to afford the opportunity." And that is a great deal. After the privileges of the Negro against the United States of America, that life opportunities are restricted on account of his status in the Wilson administration a Negro might be loaded down. H.E. F. N. D., L.L.D. and D. C. L. degree, but he could not be governmental or diplomatic position that carried with it a military and dignity. In the civil service colored men and women faced examinations and were notified of their appointment. Those who allowed up they were turned down because of color. Those who were end today? Some callings are barred to the Negro. None of his qualifications, because of his color. In other callings he only advance so far and no further. It is difficult for the Negro to resist a soldier per se in the U. S. Army today. The American Negro States that a colored student of Chicago is admitted that he could enter the U. S. cavalry, but the military. Strong opposition is made to a Negro being apprehended in the minor position of Register of the Treasury. After Bishop Smith has made good his first bluff about the $500, we will be glad to callighten him on the $1,000 proposition. Bishop Smith reads the Bible very well. His pamphlet on the curse of Canaan shows that he is a Biblical student, but we would advise him to read The Negro World. If he had read The Negro World, he would have discovered that the boat on which the Industrial Pioneers of the U. N. I. A. sailed was almost shipwrecked en route to Spain. He would have discovered that the pioneers finally arrived in Monrovia. He would have discovered that the Kanawa of the Black Star Line sailed for Cuba carrying passengers, etc.; that it arrived safely in Cuba. Like most persons who make wild and rambling statements about Marcus Garvey, the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line, Bishop Smith does not attempt to get his information first hand, but relies upon christmas gossip and street talk. In the case, the condition of civil and political equality with the continuing equality, before the law and economic equality, acceptability, has made the Negro's color a bar for the industrial, business, and political world. Evidently Bishop Smith has a feverish desire for notoriety. He worked the curse of Canaan idea to death. Bishop Smith of the A. M. E. Zion Church said that he rode the horse of transfiguration until he knew every hair in his hide; that is what Bishop Smith of the A. M. E. Church did with the curse of Canaan horse. Now he is trying to ride the Marcus Garvey horse. He knows that Marcus Garvey, the U. N. L. A. and the Black Star Line boom larger in the Negro press and in the world's press than any other individuals or movements; consequently, anything said about Marcus Garvey and the organization he has founded will get big headlines in the press. Then, again, Bishop Smith seems to be a game about him to be willing to pay for the notoriety and the newspaper advertising that he receives. CORRESPONDENCE MR. SOL T. PLAATJE EXPLAINS HIS MISSION To the Editor of the Negro World: Mr. H. H. Harrison, a few issues back, made some kindly references to my books. Having an unsetled job and having to work "in between times" for the maintenance of my family, I have not the time to always return such personal compliments; but I am constraint to trouble you for space to correct one remark made by H. H. H., which might adversely affect my mission to this country. Thus H. H. H.:— "On the whole The Mote and the Beam" is a nifty little pamphlet. But we think it a neighborly act to remind Mr. Platius that people in America will hardly pay 25 cents for a pamphlet of eleven pages, however good. They may do it as charity in church or at Liberty Hall, but not as a regular business propositor." The fact is I hardly know whether to thank "H. H. H." for the "write-up" or the Negro World, which, he said, paid him $15 to write it, but the trouble is that Negro leaders of the calibre of H H. H., who constantly speak to tens of thousands of our people all over the world, through the columns of the Negro World and other media, fail to grasp the go-inwardness of my mission here. They treat it like "a business proposition." Let me say again, Sir, that I am not here on business. I have travelled 9,000 miles purely in aid of the most oppressed Negroes of the world. I would gladly have stayed at home and earned $15 per week, like H H. H., although I would have had to work all the week and a good deal harder for it, but the natives I represent are so oppressed they could not, even if they would, pay me $18 or any other sum—worked they ever so hard. But, if somewhere, at one time, somebody had not left home and heartstones and travelled to the Southern slave plantations, in the face of the bittest hostility on the part of the slave owners; or if, a hundred years ago, someone had not travelled to the South African wilds and made incredible sacrifices on our behalf, neither H H. nor I would be able to write.

This editorial editorial, but to answer questions p three divisions. And, thinking that come the information, we send out LIEUT. EDISON McVEY of the Brooklyn division of the U. N. I. A., on page 10 of the June 11th issue of The Negro World, replied to the statement of Rt. Hon. Capt. E. F. Gaines, the Minister of the Legions. Regarding the question at issue, we have nothing to say, because we have never met Lieut. McVey and have never heard him speak. Consequently, we do not know what he actually said regarding his experiences and achievements as an aviator. Capt. Gaines said that Lieut. McVey told him that he had served in the Air Mail Service in Texas, and told another member of the Executive Council that he had served as an aviator under the U. S. Government in France. The authorities in Washington, upon being communicated with, replied that Mr. McVey had never served as an aerial mail pilot in Texas nor as a government aviator in France. Capt. Gaines so stated in The Negro World. Then Mr. McVey comes back and says that he told the members of the high executive office that he was only employed by a private concern as an aviator. If he will submit his proofs that he was actually employed by a private concern as an aviator, Capt. Gaines will be pleased to receive them. But regarding the latter statements in Mr McVey's letter, we have something to say Mr McVey raises a question as to Capt. Gaines' "power to stop a division's personal doings." Capt. Gaines was elected as Minister of the Legions at the U. N. I. A. Convention in August, 1920, in New York city, and, as such, he is commander-in-chief of the Legions, Black Cross Nurses and Motor Corps. He has the same oversight over the latter bodies as the executive Council has over the individual branches. No member of the Executive Council interferes with a division's personal doings. But when one division starts to soliciting funds from another division, no matter how worthy the object, it is interfering with the rights and prerogatives of the Executive Council, elected to supervise the work of the U. N. I. A. The policy of the U. N. I. A. is a strong pull, a long pull and a pull all together. If various divisions would send out members to raise funds from other divisions for various causes, while the Executive Council was endeavoring to carry out a definite constructive program, energy, money and efforts would be dissipated and scattered and nothing definite accomplished. This editorial is not written as a controversial editorial, but to answer questions put to us by members and officers of three divisions. And, thinking that perhaps other divisions might welcome the information, we send out this editorial. THE U. N. I. A. THE thing that impresses us Garvey is away from New York work as though he were active Hall, to the task, diplomacy and empire Dr. G. E. Stewart, manifested in holdup the spirit and morale. Then we York Local, the High Commission the Chaplain General, the Negro Wor General and the private office of Hone busy. The clerks in the office supervision of Assistant Secretary like Trojans in sending out literature that there are few eye servants in its principle than pay. THE thing that impresses us is that although the Hon. Marcus Garvey is away from New York, his associates and lieutenants work as though he were actually here. We referred, in Liberty Hall, to the tac, diplomacy and enthusiasm which the High Chancellor, Dr. G. E. Stewart, manifested in holding the people together and keeping up the spirit and morale. Then when we visit the offices of the New York Local, the High Commissioner General, the Secretary General, the Chaplain General, the Negro World, the Black Star Lime, the Auditor General and the private office of Hon. Marcus Garvey, we find everyone busy. The clerks in the office of the Secretary General, under the supervision of Assistant Secretary General, Yearwood, have worked like Trojans in sending out literature. It augers well for the U. N. I. A. that there are few eye servants in its ranks and that they work more for principle than pay. Somebody did it for us, so why not i for the black millions who lie so heplessly at the mercy of the South African Boss? If we were any other race but Negroes, the heavens would long since have resounded with a diapason of war for our deliverance; but, because we are Negroes, clever penmen of our complexion stigmatize the efforts on our behalf as "a business proposition." Other races do things differently. Whenever they learn of a cause that needs assistance, the editors appoint themselves collectors and appeal to their readers to send money. In that manner starving Poles, and oppressed Jews, like the Belgians when their cities were overrun by Germans, get speed relief. The Chinese starvation is a case in point; not only newspapers but the movies screened their appeals for bread and thousands of American dollars from the cities of Canada and the United States and millions of bushels of corn from the prairie and southern plantations have been despatched to the East and saved millions of Chinese from starvation. When Madame Curie was on her way here from Europe, the newspapers called for a subscription to a $100,000 fund. A few days later they had to appeal to their readers to stop sending more money as the fund had been over-subscribed. Why don't they rally to a cause like ours? Because sir, they are waiting on the editors' o' our race to write up a purely Negro hardship; and while the whites are waiting for a lead that will never come from Negro journals, Negro editors are themselves waiting on the waiting whites to put their stamp of approval on a Negro cause. Therefore, as long as H. H. and his $15 column colleagues ignore our cry of pain because it does not bear a white man's O. K., a few of us must continue to bear the unassarried burdens of a thankless cause. Fortunately the editor of the Negro World is of a different mental composition. He did not wait for a white man's stamp and readers of the Negro World up and down the country are alive to the sorrows of South Africans of color. Some of them have encouraged me by boarding and lodging me free gratia. Others cheerfully pay 25 cents for the "Mote and the Beam" of the Brooklyn division of the of the June 11th issue of The Negro movement of Rt. Hon. Capt. E. F.

I attended a meeting, the other day at New Bedford, Mass., where I a total stranger; yet three members of the audience knew the content of the "Note and the Beam" almost by heart. A Bedford man had seen it at Connecticut and ordered it from New York. He showed it to some friends who also ordered copies. Last month Mrs. Cuney Hare introduced me to a New England gathering where I displayed copies of all my works. A number of people secured copies of my books and bookshelves, which range in price from a dime to $5.00. A week after this meeting I received the following letter: "Enclosed, please find $$ for twelve more copies of the 'Note and the Beam.' It is of absorbing interest and should be widely circulated." From this it will be seen that members of the other race pay $3 cents for "The Mote and the Beam" as cheerfully as my Negro reader. The prices of all my other works apparently have the approval of H. H. H. All of them were bought on the occasion, but I have not heard again from their buyers. I am inclined to think that H. H. H. misjudged, the price of the "nifty little pamphlet" as easily as he miscounted its games. I should add that every dollar and every nickel raised at a meeting, where I speak, and every free will offered, lifted at any church service where I preach, goes towards the Native Brotherhood Building Fund to which I give my services entirely from.

PLAATVE EDITOR'S NOTE The question as to what constitutes a miracle is something that philosophers and theologians have wrangled over for centuries and came to no conclusion. We recall in our schooldays when the flying ship, travelling under the sea, and sending a message through the ether of space were talked about, learned scientists pronounced them impracticities. And yet the Wright Brothers and Curtiss flow in the air, Lake invented the submerged submarine, and Marconi fashed a message across the sea by wireless telegraphy. When we studied physics we were taught that the atom was the smallest element out of which matter was constituted and were taught that the prism broke light into seven colors. But then Roentgen discovered the X-ray, Sir William Crookes discovered the Cathrode ray, and Madame Curie discovered radiation. Then we had to revise our conception of light and matter and regard the electron a whirling vortex or electrical stress in either as the fundamental element of matter. Mr. Sheppard defines miracle as "something so entirely out of course of what is called nature that she must go out of that course to accomplish it". That is the trouble, the scientific discoveries during he past quarter of a century has his, ht mankind that its scientific knowledge by no means entirely exhausts the bounds and limits of nature. If anyone had prophesied the X-ray, the Cathode tube, the electron and radium thirty years ago, he would be regarded as a learner. By no means has man's knowledge penetrated behind the processes of nature and entered into the plans and purposes of nature. We live in the sense world: we only know what our five senses, supplemented by the microscope and telescope, and mathematical and scientific deduction, can teach us. But that by no means exhausts the entire content of reality. So it may be well to go along regarding dormant im, regarding miracles. Mr. Sheppard has read Elshop Smith a nice little curate texture and preached him a real saemon. W. H. F. WASHINGTON NOTES. Congress Appropriates a $116,000 Building to Howard University— Only 38 Per Cent of Students Romain to Graduate: Washington, May 26—Birds will be shortly advertised for a three-story home economics building for Howard University, which will contain a modern cafeteria to provide luncheon quarers for all the students. Congress has authorised an appropriation of $216,000 for the structure which will be located on the college campus. It will be built of red brick with a white stone front. In an address urging the student body of Howard University to stay in college last Thursday, J. Garland Wood, an undergraduate, said that only 38 per cent of the students who entered the school remained to graduate. Of 188 who entered the college with the class of 1838, he said, only 60 were graduated.

Donaldson, 1979, who has studied science and unit formation in Dartmouth and Columbia, United States and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in dissection, and was born. --- June 2, 1931 And the Editor of The Negro World wishes to the Thousands of Readers to announce the World: Miss Things You Greetings: For the purpose of this article is to re- flect what seems to me to be one of the reasons for teaching riot that has occurred on our commonwealth. I am sure that such occurrences must prove deep at the hearts of all peoples and races. The first thing that confronts the smaller mind, both white and black, is "who is to blame?" Another nature likes to find the one who makes it to place the blame. The answers are inclined to blame the Whites and the Whites are naturally inclined to blame the blacks. Yet, in all circumstances, in many instances the good white people of the country have kept far enough to really locate the greatest blame for such terrible outrage. there are institutions of investigation whose business it is to locate the causes of outrages of this kind. This must be done by the white people, but the self I never have to investigate of this kind to locate where your name is to be placed. I know my race will enough to know that they will not, without provocation, with all their feebardiness, start anything against the powerful Caucasian race. The collection of Negroes can be found in insignificant of the outcome as to preclude a thing of this type. All Negroes know that the blame for beginning such a thing is never to be ignored among Negroes, and the white people are themselves aware of the fact that Negroes will not start a thing of this kind without provocation. When anything of this kind happens out of 1,000 cases it comes from some thoughtless officer of the law who has no respect for human rights, being a representative of the dominant race, ignorant in mind and vicious at heart, representing the great white race, proceeds to mutilate, mistress and disregard the rights of the Negroes. The white people of this country as a whole, will treat the Negro fairly well. But they make this mistake because, in selecting a class of men to deal with the Negroes who have absolutely no respect for them, thinking that class of men can keep the Negro spirit sufficiently subdued. They forget that an officer who respects the Negroes and who treats them kindly never has any trouble with Negroes, as is only that class of men who feel hate the Negroes have no rights that the white people are bound to respect, that creates disturbance. The white man, who dealt with the proposed state age must be a plan who has some sense of justice under the constitution, that has been described by the magistrate, this trouble will pre- sent by an officer, attempting to deter a Nero, who resisted, and was taken to death. Now, this officer trans- summed all bounds, and fanned the thought sense of justice into an unconquerable rage. This will be true in any people. Now, the people, of Tulsa, Oka, are not alone responsible for this condition of affairs. It seems that the whites who deal with the blacks throughout this country have no sense of right and wrong in dealing with them. Even the federal Government, under Wilson, seemed to have taken no consideration of the proclamation upon the Negro soldiers of Houston, Texas and exaggerated them because they did what any soldiers beneath the sum would have done under the circumstances, be they white or black. The Federal Government has been mobilized from time to time to make laws to remedy these prevalent evils. These have hesitated. States have been forced to make laws to prevent such outbreaks and still this country, with all the lions of life and property, has made no definite steps to prevent these outbreaks by general law. So no little of the responsibility for these outbreaks upon the fact that the general government does not take a decided action will all these matters. And this is true with the militia. They seem to be more interested in stop Negroes than to stop white. They alarm Negroes and leave them helpless to the armed white people. But we blame any man for resisting that is as partial in its own mind. No Negro can feel satisfied when the Federal law will prevent any unsecured of protection. Instead this driving the Negroes into slavery. Expand nature itself can be controlled if laws by the continued control of ourselves perpetrated by government. their people seem to forget that their people have called to the army and their people have sent their country. We have sent our people have sent them to the har- terry and the war. We have met them there and we have been fighting, even tried to disgrace them on the battlefields in the hand of the French people, then come back and turned them loose to go among their original friends without estimating their ability as warriors. Sometimes these impositions are placed upon Negroes trained in the actual art of warfare. They are no longer common Negroes, they are warriors. Many of them who have won honors from the French Government, and others who deserve honors and have never received them, for bravery and manhood on the battlefields, many of these very man have had these insults buried at them, insults which men will not take and which are impossible. Now it is a question "Who started the trouble?" They must know that here a Negro was arrested, charged with the crime that is generally attended in the South and some other parts with summary vengeance—and that without investigation. The rumor is that a crowd of white men were attempting to take this Negro out and lynch him, and this course of lynching aroused the Negro population to resist such inlawlessness. One would hardly find a Negro who would object to this Negro being tried by a legal court. The Negroes would hardly object to his being executed if found guilty, but is it wrong for Negroes to resist a mob who violates the law of a country and wreak summary vengeance on a man whose guilt has not been established by law? The question is "Who started it?" The two races cannot get along in this country, being all citizens of the same country with such injustice. We expect a higher form of justice to be meted out to all. You cannot do a Negro wrong and think that wrong is forgotten. That very wrong is creating trouble for the future. Every wrong, ever) lynching that occurs, every time soldiers disarm Negroes and do not disarm white people, creates future trouble in this country. When these things happen, they cause Negroes to have no respect for laws, no respect for judges. White soldiers cannot be expected to do justice to Negroes when many judges will not do it, therefore, the Negro cannot trust judges, injures nor soldiers. It is self-avident that if an even-handed justice were measured out to the Negroes, there would never be any cause for friction between the races. There is no unreasonable demand made upon the white man anywhere in this country. The only thing that the Negro asks is "simple justice," and simple justice is the very thing that he completely denies the Negro. Yet I would not charge the entire white race for this. It is that class of men to whom they entrust this work. They are more or less the rioters who do not know that a change has come over the Negro race. The spirit of the race is changed throughout the entire world; not the Negro of America alone, but the Negroes of Africa and the islands of the sea. There is no tendency for an uprising, but there is a tendency for justice, to recent injustice from whatever course. The race has lost much of its ancients cowardice and fear and cannot be terrorized by a display of gunpowder. Justice is what the Negro demands, and justice must be sustained through the heavens fall. The Universal Negro Improvement Association ought to be encouraged by both white and black people throughout this country. If this were done, there could be no such repetition of race riots. A Negro who is a member of the U. N. I. A. realizes that this is the white man's country, and Africa is the black man's. This simple change makes the Negro more philosophic, and gives him a steady manhood that will demand respect. The U. N. I. A. gives the Negro a sense of his own importance. When the Negro is lifted up in his manhood, the very uplift would tell those of the white race who would provoke a riot that it is not safe to inscribe the Negro spirit. The Negroes all over this country ought to become members of the U. N. I. A. and the white people of this country should encourage it. Wherever the U. N. I. A. has its plans well laid the black people are safe and the white people are safe. The U. N. I. A. does not stand for social intermingling; it satisfies the Negro with Negroes; fills them with a manhood that commands and demands respect. We had just as well quit beating the devil around the stump and look the matter squarely in the face. Things cannot continue as they are with safety to either race. The Negro race is 400,000,000 strong, and if they were only 400,000,000 dogs doing nothing but barking their very barking would disturb the equilibrium of the entire earth. The Negro is the most loyal friend that the white race has. The white race is not even a friend to itself, for they are destroying each other at an awful rate. The Negroes and white people of this country should seek manly terms and fraternize, for the day of "trouble awaits the people of this country." Japan and China are crying out "Asia for the Asiafrica." Japan is a powerful and aggressive nation. Japan is looking to the Negroes as a possibly ally, and I am sorry to see the white people of this country becoming so indifferent about the future of this government as to allow the 20,000,000 Negroes to be alienated from them by the "Kita Kuxin Kiyo," "The Clanman," "The Birth of a Nation," and these constant outbursts of lavishesm throughout this country. We are simply encouraging the government of the examples of this history when we allocate the Negroes to be possible way to alienate the North if properly treated, and consent to changes could be it known throughout the entire country that the Negro is law by the white peoples of the world forever. We must then assume in driving peacefully and lawfully how very many allied nations will be involved in this THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1921 DISCRIMINATIONS IN ARMY SERVICE CONTINUE TO EXIST (By the Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL., June 8.—Persistent rumors of deliberate and aggravating cases of discrimination against colored men in the several departments of the United States Army service continue to exist. A recent instance of gross discrimination has come to the attention of The Associated Negro Press. Robert L. Ephraim, a student at the University of Chicago, is the latest victim of race prejudice in this direction. A representative of the A. N. P. interviewed the young man and he made the following statement of the part he played in an effort to take advantage of the training at the Reserve Officers' Training Camp: "I entered Howard University the Autumn quarter of 1918 and connected myself with Unit 811 Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Seven men were sent up from Howard to the Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Camp Devanah, Mass. Upon my return to Howard I was commissioned and appointed Battalion Adjutant of 811th Unit. Upon finishing the Junior College, there, I entered the Senior College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Chicago with the intention of connecting myself with the Military Science department there. I took the matter up with Col. Marr, the commanding officer who informed me that it was against the policy of the War Department to admit Negroes in the Artillery, that if it were the infantry or the cavalry there would be no discrimination. I found nothing in the catalogue making color a prerequisite to any department, so I took the matter up with the Dean of the Senior College and the Dean of Men, who claimed that they were powerless to act in the case. It was then that I appealed to President Harry Pratt Judson, who after hearing the facts, asked that I call at his office about two days later. This I did only to be told by his office girl that the President had given the Dean of the Senior College power to act in the case. Of course, the Dean didn't act, and here is where the case rests. "place the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy has said the fundamental laws recognized no group distinction, no sectional distinction and no class distinction, and there must be none in legislation and administration, it seems to me that this is a splendid opportunity to at least test the sincerity of the President's utterances."

(A Brilliant Article by J. R. AUSTIN, Mining Engineer) There seems to be a great deal of ignorance and confusion in the use of the word "Negro," and about as much trouble attends the proper classification of the inhabitants of Africa. Ham and Canaan were the progenitors of the Negro races—for that is admitted by the most consistent enemies of the blacks—but that the human race is one, and that Noah's curse was not a Divine prophecy. The term "Negro" seems to be applied chiefly to the dark and woolly-haired people who inhabit Western Africa. But the Negro is to be found also in Eastern Africa. Zomaras says: "Chus is the person from whom the Cusseans are derived. They are the same people as the Ethiopians." This view is corroborated by Josephus, Apuleius, and Eusebius. The Hebrew term "Cush" is translated Ethiopia by the Septuagint, Vulgat, and by almost all other versions. "It is not therefore, to be doubted that the term 'Cushim' has by the interpretation of all ages been translated by 'Ethiopians,' because they were also known by their black color, and their transmigrations, which were easy and frequent." But, while it is a fact supported by both sacred and profane history, that the terms "Cush" and "Ethiopian" were used interchangeably, there seems to be no lack of proof that the same terms were applied frequently to a people who were not Negroes. It should be remembered, moreover, that there were nations who were black, and yet were not Negroes. And the only distinction amongst all these people, who are branches of the Ham- tido family, is the texture of the hair. "But it is equally certain, as we have seen, that the term 'Cushite' is applied in Scripture to other branches of the same family; as, for instance, to the Midianian, from whom Moes selected his wife, and who could not have been Negroes. The term 'Cushite,' therefore, is used in Scripture as denoting nations who were not black, or in any respect Negroes, and also countries south of Egypt, whose inhabitants were Negroes; and yet both races are declared to be the descendants of Cush, the son of Ham. Even in Ezekiel's day the interior African nations were not of one race; for he represents Cush, Phut, Lud, and Chub, as either themselves constituting, or as being amalgamated with, "a mingled people" (Ezek. xxx-5); that is to say, as Euber, it was a nation of Negroes who are represented as very numerous—all the mingled people". The term "Ethiopia" was ambiently given to all those whose color was darkened by the sun. Herodotus, therefore, distinguishes the Eastern Ethiopians who had straight hair, from the Western Ethiopians who had curly or woolly hair. "They are a two-fold people, lying extended in a long tract from the rising to the sat- ting sun." The conclusion is patent. The words "Ethiopia" and "Cush" were used always to describe a black people or the country where such a people lived. The term "Negro" from the Latin "niger" and the French "noir" means black; and consequently is a modern term, with all the original meaning of Cush and Ethiopia, with a single exception. We called attention above to the fact that all Ethiopians were not of the pure Negro type, but were, nevertheless, a branch of the original Hamitic family from whence sprang all the dark races. The term "Negro" is used to designate the people, who, in addition to their dark complexion, have curly or woolly hair. It is in this connection that we shall use the terms in this treatise. The late Edward Wilmoth Blyden, L. L. D. of Liberia, writes "Supposing that this term was originally used as a phase of contempt, is it not with us to elevate it? How often has it not happened that names originally given in reproach have been afterwards adopted as a title of honor by those against whom it was used—Methodists, Quakers, etc? But as a proof that no unfavorable signification attached to the word when first employed, I may mention that long before the slave trade began, travelers found the blacks on the coast of Africa preferring to be called "Negroes" (see Purcha's Pilgrimage). And in all the pre-slave trade literature the word was spelled with a capital "N". It was the slavery of the blacks which afterwards degraded the term. To say that the name was invented to degrade the race, some of whose members were reduced to slavery, is to be guilty of what "in grammar is called a "ryateron proteron." The disgrace became attached to the name in consequence of slavery, and what we propose to do is, now that slavery is abolished, to restore it to its original place and legitimate use, and therefore to restore the capital It is not wise, to say the least, for intelligent Negroes in America to seek to drop the word "Negro." It is a good, strong, and healthy word, and eight to live. It should be covered with glory; let Negroes do it. Africa, the home of the indigenous dark races, in a geographic and ethnologic sense is the most wonderful country on the face of the globe. It is thoroughly tropical. It has an area of about 11,556,000 square miles, with an approximate population of 200,000-000 souls. It lies between the latitudes of 38° north and 35° south; and is strictly speaking, an enormous island, separated from Asia by the Suez Canal. The most northern point is the Cape, situated a little to the west of Cape Blanco, and opposite Sicily, which lies in latitude 57° 20' 40" north, longitude 9° 61' east. Its southern-most point is Cape d'Aguilhas, in 34° 48' 15" south; the distance between these two points being 4,320 geographical or about 5,000 English miles. The westernmost point is Cape Verde, in longitude 17' 33" west, its easternmost, Cape Jerdafun, in longitude 51' 21" east, latitude 10' 26" north, the distance between the two points being about the same as its length. The western coasts are washed by the Atlantic, the northern by the Mediterranean and the eastern by the Indian Ocean. The shape of the "Continent of Africa" is likened to a triangle or to an oval. It is the richest country in the world in diamonds, gold, copper, coal, etc.; is rich in oils, twigs and precious timber. Its animal kingdom is enclosed by all the nations of the earth. It has beautiful lakes and mighty rivers that are the insoluble problems of the present time. The Neare in Egypt Of the antiquity of the Negro there can be no doubt. He is known as thoroughly to history as any of the other families of men. He appears at the first dawn of history, and has continued down to the present time. The scholarly Gliddon writes that 'The hierographical designation of Kesh', exclusively applied to African races as distinct from the Egyptian, has been found by Lepidus as far back as the monumentals of the sixth dynasty, 3,000 B.C. But the great influx of negro and mulatto races into Egypt as captives dated from the twelfth dynasty, when about the twenty-second century, B. C. Pharahos Sour-Tasen extended his conquest up the Nile far into Nigrita. After the eighteenth dynasty the monuments come down to the third century A.D. without one single instance in the Pharamon or Sitoesmaal periods that Negro labor was ever directed to any agricultural or utilitarian objecta. The Negro was found in great numbers with the Sukim, Thut, Lubin, and other African nations, who formed the strength of the army of the king of Egypt, Shishak, when he came against Rehoboam in the year 971 B. C.; and in his tomb, opened in 1849, there were found among his depicted army the exact representation of the genuine Negro race, both in color, hair, and physiognomy. Negroes are also represented in Egyptian paintings as connected with the military campaigns of the eighteenth dynasty. They formed a part of the army of Ibrahim Tacha, and were prized as gallant soldiers at Moncha and South Arabia. One, Herodotus, assures us that Negroes were found in the armies of Sesostris and Xerxes, and at the present time they are no inconsiderable part of the standing army of Egypt. Herodotus states that eighteen of the Egyptian kings were Ethiopians. "Every rational mind must therefore, readily conclude that the African race has begun in existence as a distinct people over four thousand two hundred years; and how long before that period is a matter of conjecture only, there being Talking About Hair a why THE NEW YORKER A medicated Hair Refiner; possesses and has a great stimulating influence.

Ethnological science, then, possesses not only the authoritative testimonies of Leopius and Ereb in proof of the existence of Negro races Juring the twenty-fourth century B. C., but the same fact being conceded by all living Egyptologists, we may hence infer that these Nigritian types were contemporary with the earliest Egyptiana. The Negro in Japan But we have further evidence to offer in favor of the antiquity of the Negro. In Japan, and in many other parts of the East, there are to be found stupendous and magnificent temples that are hoary with age. It is almost impossible to determine the antiquity of some of them, in which the idols are exact representations of woolly-haired Negroes, although the inhabitants of those countries today have straight hair. Among the Japanese, black is considered a color of good omen. In the temples of Siam we find the idols fashioned like unto Negroes. Osiris, one of the principal deities of the Egyptians, is frequently represented as black. Bubastia also, the Diana of Greece, and a member of the great Egyptian Triad, is now on exhibition in the British museum, sculptured in black basalt sitting figure. Among the Hindu, Kali, the consort of Siva, one of their great Triad; Criathna, the eighth incarnation of Vishnu; and Vishnu also himself, the second of the Trinarti or Hindu Triad, are represented of a black color. The Sphinx may have been the shrine of the Negro population of Egypt. Three million Buddhists in Asia represent their chief daity, Buddha, with Negro features and hair. There are two other images of Buddha, one at Ceylon and the other at Calance, and both these statues agree in having crisped hair and long, pendent earrings. J. R.

"The judgments of the Lord are sure," and righteous altogether." Puebla, Col., follows Tulsa, Okla., with a terrible list of casualties. Whenever white men in this country engage in a saturnalia of crimes against a helpless people such as characterized their conduct toward the blacks of Tulsa, there usually follows bloodshed, fires, railroad wrecks or some other terrible calamity at sea in which the loss of life and property is greater than that sustained by the victims of their ignorant hatred. Pueblo is described by one recently from there as hell on earth and a white man's conception of hell is usually correct. He invented it and knows what it is like. I have noted for years that whenever any particularly horrible crimes have been committed against Negroes by white mobs, that white men and women pay the penalty in some form equally as horrible as the crime committed. It may be a week a month or a year after, but something surely happens to white folk to remind them that the law of compensation is still of force and effect. If you doubt it, watch the result of the next lynching or rostrating of some Negro. "The judgments of the Lord are sure and righteous altogether." Dr Harley Shapley of Harvard College, an astronomer of some note, has put the Einstein theory of the relativity of space in the shade by announcing that he has made discoveries that reveal the universe to be a thousand times greater than scientists have conceived it. By so doing, he has resigned the earth to a place, one thousand times less important than it has heretofore occupied. He now estimates it to be something like 350,000,000,000,000 miles from the center of the universe. What a shock this must be to his collaborators who know everything, and know actually nothing about the world in which we live, move and have our being. Science is indeed still in its swaddling cloth. If Dr. Shapley's guess is approximately near the truth. I think the prophet Job had an appreciable idea of the immensity of space, and the greatness of the greatest scientist about us ever known, when he put the question: "Canst thou by searching find out God?" Canst thou also find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven: What canst thou do? Deeper than hell: What canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea." And Job also showed that he had a vein of humor in his system when he said: "No doubt ye are the people, and wisdom shall diswith you." Modern-day scientists have contributed a good deal of useful information to the sum of human knowledge, but like ordinary mortals they are very small potatoes, and few in the hill, in the light of Dr. Shapley's most recent guess as to the infinitimal size of the earth and the place it occupies in space. We are, all of us, have atoms, and we "know not anything" of the great universe wherein we strut and stink out our chests (some of us), as though we are the connecting link between the Great Architect, who created worlds and fixed their places in space; and the wormma of the dust with whom we condescend to mingle socially. Some of us are actually growing round-shouldered because we know so much that isn't so. Now if our planet as Dr. Shapley opines, is really 880,000,000,000,000 miles from the center of the universe, how far is man from the knowledge that God only can know, and what is our present knowledge worth, and how much of it have we got to unlearn? I have noticed that several of the side streets in Harlem, like 18th, 18tht and 18tht street, are selected by white youths of varying ages and sizes as their playgrounds, and that they con- If other men challenge the world, I too, must get a flag to unfurl.

There are some vandals in these groups, and they seem to take delight in disfiguring with chalk of various colors the stoops, sides and fronts of houses occupied by colored people. I recently saw a fine oak from door of a house in 188th street decorated with chalk, the number of the house being written in several places on it, and the legend, "Nigger lives here." I don't believe colored street urchins would be permitted either by the police or white residents on any street in Har.em, or elsewhere in this city, to do what these white street scams are permitted to do in Negro sections. It has very much the appearance of being prearranged by older heads, this sending of young white rowdies into Negro sections to play ball and cramp, knock over and scatter the contents of garbage can, and to otherwise make themselves disagreeable. The neighborhood clubs should take this matter in hand and make representations to the proper authorities in order, to have the practice stopped. Let these white street urchins play on their own streets. Black people like quiet as well as white people. The West Side Pharmacy is a cozy little drug store recently opened at the corner of Seventh avenue and 131st street, with a full line of up-to-date drugs, toilet articles, etc. etc., which invites the patronage of our people and the public generally. The service is first class, the prices are right and Dr. Barretta, a young woman of the race, in association with Dr. Wolkin, are careful compounders, of drugs, both being graduates from the best colleges of pharmacy. Dr. Barretta, a dainty little person, was for a long time with Holly, the druggist at Lenox avenue and 131st street, where she presided over the prescription department. Let us do one we can to help and encourage all of our own. Our friend Norman Chaderton, Eag, has imported China to Hariam. He and a partner have opened a Chinese restaurant on Seventh avenue opposite the Renaissance Theatre, which is fitted up in Oriental style and where all the delicacies familiar to the picures of the Flowery Kingdom will be compounded by a competent Chinese chef at short notice, and where jazz in its most aggravating and tantalizing form can be heard while guests are enjoying the delightful creations of his expert culinary artist.

Sit down Henry!"—Postmaster General Hays to Henry Lincoln Johnson at a meeting of National Re; ubicann Committee at Washington on or about June 8. The Lily Whites are looming as the Saviors of the south. Their trump cards they have played with skill. Using their heads and not their mouths. They have relegated "Sambo" to the rear without a trown. And now he must go 'way back and quietly sit down! But will he? The new factor to be reckoned with in political campaigns of the future in this country is the woman voter. Hitherto the Negroes have been regarded as the balance of power. In future campaigns the white woman voter, ally directed and assisted by the white males' voter, will constitute the balance of power politically, and the Negro will have to "root hog or dir" politically. His glory, like Ishabeda, is departed. The cards have been stacked against him and the day of his political dissociation is gradually drawing to a LIVES IN ITS EDUCATIONAL STRENGTH GO BACK TO COLLEGE! AL CAMPAIGN BE WIRED! NEED THE CALL!

I see the friends standing around My sister's little cot. I see tears in their mournful eyes And blood staining the spot. Oh God! It is painful To bear her groans and cries. I cannot bear it—it haunt me— My poetic heart dies. She groans and groans wildly, And then there is a cinnamon. A light bursts in her little eyes Like a refreshing balm. Presto! Her face turns heavenward. "Lord remember me!" she weeps. A silence follows—I touch her hand— It is cold. She sleeps!" she sleeps! CHARLES H D ESTE Montreal Ode to Africa.

Pueblo, Col., follows Tulsa, Okla., with a terrible list of casualties. Whenever white men in this country engage in a saturnalia of crimes against a helpless people such as characterized their conduct toward the attacks of Tulsa, there usually follows bloodshed, fires, railroad wrecks or some other terrible calamity at sea in which the loss of life and property is greater than that sustained by the victims of their ignorant hatred. Pueblo is described by one recently from there as hell on earth, and a white man a conception of hell is usually correct. He invented it and knows what it is like. I have noted for years that whenever any particularly horrible crimes have been committed against Negroes by white mobs, that white men and women pay the penalty in some form equally as horrible as the crime committed. It may be a weak, a month or a year after, but something surely happens to white folk to remind them that the law of compensation is still of force and effect. If you doubt it, watch the result of the next lynching or rostrating of some Negro. "The judgments of the Lord are sure and righteous altogether." --- Dr. Harley Shapley of Harvard College, an astronomer of some note, has put the Einstein theory of the relativity of space in the shade by announcing that he has made discoveries that reveal the universe to be a thousand times greater than scientists have conceived it. By so doing, he has relegated the earth to a place one thousand times less important than it has heretofore occupied. He now estimates it to be something like 360,000,000,000,000 miles from the center of the universe. What a shock this must be to his collaborators who know everything, and know actively nothing about the world in which we live move and have our being, science indeed still in its swaddling clothes. If Dr. Shapley's guess is approximately near the truth. I think the prophet Job had an appreciable idea of the immensity of space, and the greatness of the greatest scientist the worlds about us ever know, when we put the question "Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou also find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven: What canst thou do? Deeper than he! What canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea." And Job also showed that he had a vein of humor in his system when he said: "No doubt ye are the people, and wisdom shall dis with you." Modern-day scientists have contributed a good deal of useful information to the sum of human knowledge, but like ordinary mortals they are very small potatoes, and few in the hill, in the light of Dr Shapley's most recent guess as to the infinitimal size of the earth and the place it occupies in space. We are, all of us, more atoms, and we "know not anything" of the great universe wherein we strut and stink out our chests (some of us), as though we are the connecting link between the Great Architect, who created worlds and fixed their places in space; and the worms of the dust with whom we condecembed to mingle socially. Some of us are actually growing round-shouldered because we know so much that isn't so. Now if our planet, as Dr. Shaplay opines, is really 880,000,000,000,000 miles from the center of the universe, how far is man from the knowledge that God only can know, and what is our present knowledge worth, and how much of it have we got to unlearn? I have noticed that several of the side streets in Harlem, like 1838, 1878, and 1838 street, are selected by white youths of varying ages and sizes as their playgrounds, and that they con- I am a man. The master's note To me new does sound sweet I do intend to have my vote On the human things I meet. If other men can have their say, I ten, will find the royal way. I am a man. I have won the toes And mean to play my game. And I vow there cannot be loss For I am already upon the scruil of fame. If other men have fought and won, I also want my place in the sun. FRED RANFIELD, Porto Velho, Rio Maderia. T'S COLUMN gregate in larger numbers on Sundays and make more noise on that day than on any other. There are some vandals in these groups and they seem to take debt in d.sugaring with chalk of various colors the stoop, sides and fronds of houses occupied by colored people. I recently saw a fine cak from door of a house in 1838 street decorated with chalk, the number of the house being written in several places on it, and the legend, "Nigger lives here." I don't believe colored street urchins would be permitted either by the police or white residents on any street in Haram, or elsewhere in this city, to do what these white street scamps are permitted to do in Negro sections. It has very much the appearance of being prearranged by older heads, this sending of young white rowdies into Negro sections to play ball and match, climb over and scatter the contents of garbage cans, and to otherwise make themselves disagreeable. The neighborhood clubs should take this matter in hand and make representations to the proper authorities in orde. to have the practices stopped. Let these white street urchins play on their own streets. Black people like quast as well as white people. The West Side Pharmacy is a coy little drug store recently opened at the corner of Seventh avenue and 131st street, with a full line of up-to-date drugs, toilet articles, etc. which invites the patronage of our people and the public generally. The service is first class, the prices are right and Dr. Barretta, a young woman of the race, in association with Dr. Wolkin, are careful compounders of drugs, both being graduates from the best colleges of pharmacy. Dr. Barretta, a dainty litle person, was for a long time with Holly, the druggist at Lonox avenue and 131st street, she provided over the prescription department. Let us do all we can to help and encapage one of our drug. Our friend Norman Chaderton, Esq. has imported China to Harlem. He and a partner have opened a Chinese restaurant on Seventh avenue opposite the Renaissance Theatre, which is fitted up in Oriental style and where all the delicacies familiar to the pictures of the Flowery Kingdom will be compounded by a competent Chinese chef at short notice, and where jass in its most aggravating and tantalizing form can be heard while guests are enjoying the delightful creations of his expert culinary artista.

Sit down Henry!"—Postmaster General Hays to Henry Lincoln Johnson at a meeting of National Re:ublican Committee at Washington on or about June 8. The Lily Whites are looming as the Saviors of the South. Their trump cards they have played with skill, Using their heads and not their mouths. They have relegated "Samba" to the rear without a frown. And now he must go 'way back and quietly sit down! But will he? The new factor to be reckoned with in political campaigns of the future in this country is the woman voter. Hitherto the Negroes have been regarded as the balance of power. In future campaigns the white woman voter, ally directed and assisted by the white dislike voter, will constitute the balance of power politically, and the Negro will have to "rooting or die" politically. His静夜, Ichabod, is depressed. The cards have been stacked against him and the day of his political dissolution is gradually drawing to a shop.

The Hill-Ware Bakery Company, which conducts a bakery and dining room on 135th street and Lenox avenue, where Negro and colored angle may not eat but may purchase its bread, colen pies, oats, is opening a branch shop for the sale of its products in Negro Hill-term at 155th street and Lenox avenue. It will be well for Negro householders and Negroes generally to remember that the Hill-Ware Company does not a -modate hungry Negroes in its 155th st. and Len. avenue shop. A hint to the wise and self- respecting she is be sufficient to impress the Hill-Ware Company that we take notice and that we do not have to buy the output of its bakery. George Selwyn once declared in a company that a 'ady could not write a letter without adding a postscript. A lady present replied: "The next letter that you receive from me, Mr. Selwyn, will prove that you are wrong. Accordingly he received one from her the next day in which, after her signature, was the following: Lord Bacon says: 'The trivial prophecy which I heard when I was a child and Queen Elizabeth was in the flower of her years was—' 'When Hempe is spun, England's done.'

HAVANA, SANTO DOMINGO St. KITTS, DOMINICA, BARBADOS, TRINIDAD, DEMERARA, DAKAR SECONDEE MONROVIA, AFRICA The declaration of Jack Dempsey, of his readiness to fight the black history, Willa, has raised the color infusion all over the world. If Willa were to beat him—and Tommy James says it is even money—the whole black race would become jubilant and insolent. Such was one of the causes of the hatred the Yankees mounted for Jack Johnson. Yet, after all, as sportsman, we might to admit the right of the blacks to challenge. We are trusting to a colored gentleman, H. Edward, to carry our banner in the sprinting races at the Olympic Games, and we do not lose by this generosity of spirit. On the other hand, one of the few black men on the sportsmanship of the old prince ring was that Molyneux, the black man who had fairly beaten Tom Gibb, at their first encounter, was granted out of his victory. In a question of the color line generals becoming acute. Mr. Marcus Garvey, the president of the African Communities' League, has been awarded a proposition that is not without grandiose features—Africa as the great Ethiopian empire. Mr. would mean the expulsion of Mr. English, French, Germana, Belgium, and Italiana from the black continent. Mr. Garvey, you see, draws the conclusion. He does not come pleading for the whites for recognition. Mr. says: "We are forty million, and with the black flag!" During the United States Mr. Garvey and Milholland talk big. Some of them have even advocated war to the knife with the whites, but the fact that these people were uttered in a public hall and reported without comment in white papels shows that the threat is not to be regarded too seriously. At one of these meetings a friend of Milholland was present, John E. Milholland, noted all over America for his large and liberal views. One of the Negroes called attention to his presence on the platform. "My all right," cried the chaplain. "Mr. Milholland may have a white skin, but we all know he has a black heart!" The blacks are now about ten million in the States, and they are ignorant. The problem is serious. The scene of the Southern State the township par, putnumber the whites, but robbed them, have the vote on equal rights. A Negro who attempted to go sure the ballot would be riddled by a hundred revolvers shot. The Blacks on Our Hands. With us in this, country the black question is not so important, of course, but it is in some localities a dangerous and irritating problem—in Cardiff, in Hull and Newcastle, and in Dimehouse. We get some of the worst specimens here—thieves, drug sellers and white steve traffickers. An american community would tolerate for a moment such scenes as recently took place in a Methodist church at Peckham — black men abstaining white girls. The force of public opinion would prevent such events, taking place on all, or, if not, the revolvers would soon begin to play. It remember, a well-known English father deftly's adventure in St. Louis, where he stepped into a saloon for a drink. His arrival caused confusion to all present, and this he would not understand. He soon learned that he had committed the crime of going to a black market for which, had he done it without, he would have been ostracised by the whites, while he ran no small number of having his weasand all by the blacks — Sunday Chrysicles, London, August 8, 1859. THE MODERN CANAAN The members of not President King and the General Liberian Commission now in this country are securely bound in securing the 48,000- acre estate their protected stay here remains, to call attention in a striking statement of the conditions of the West East Liberian Republic, as the President plants include orange, banana, pineapple, lime, cacao, ginger, palm, sugarcane, coffee, apples, pear, bamboo and cotton. Minerals there include gold, coal iron, graphite, lead, sapphires, diamonds and mica. In the forests are found leopards hippopotamil, antelope, porcupines, buffalo, hyena, wild hogs and monkeys. Reptiles include alligators, turtles, cobra, vipers, lizards. There are few mosquitoes and white ants, which plague other parts of the continent. Liberia needs the $5,000,000 loan it is asking to develop these large natural resources. It wants to improve it harbors, clear out its rivers, build roads, cut down forests, farm its land and open up its midral mines. As a land of promise and opportunity this West African forest republic stands as inviting today as Canaan to the Israelites.—The Afro-American Baltimore. THREE SENATORS STAND BY RACE IN PARTY COUNCILS There has come to light the fact that it was the plea of Senator Overman, a Democrat, that brought to light in a sort of trial the rejoiced nomination of Frank A. Linney, who had been chosen for the U. S. Attorneyship in North Carolina, but against whom the people of color in that State filed damaging statements. There has been a move to eliminate the colored voter from party councils in the South, and this move against the confirmation of Linney brought out the whites who were in favor of that elimination, but it was the stand of Senator Borah, Senator Cummins and Senator Brandegee that caused the halt in that movement. These stalwart champions of right and justice under the Constitution declare that they will not consent to the confirmation of any man who appeared to countenance discrimination against the colored voter and an evasion of the Constitution. It is said that Will Hays and Bascom Slemp, the latter the lone Republican from Virginia, are the moving spirits in the plan to eliminate the colored voter and to build up a lily white party in the South. There is much doubt as to the attitude of the administration on the point, and the meeting next Wednesday, June 8, is expected to make his view.—The Richmond Colored, American. He Says "Education Moves the Main- spring of Industry and Frugality," and That the Abelition of Poverty is the Unsolved Enigma of Political Economy. Fellow Citizens! We have assembled today in this our Liberty Hall and cannot but feel that this is a most auspicious day for "Bluefields, with this our Sunday evening gathering, which marks a new era in the social life of our city. For years we have been isolated, the great wave of progress has surged past us, but after all, dear Negro people of the scattered millions, do not be dismayed by all this that has come upon you, but have good courage and hope for the future. Dear beloved, friends, in this critical moment of the world's struggle, Africa has seen the hidden genius of her race suddenly emerge; the courage that Marcus Garvey has shown during the last four years evokes admiration. What can I say of Marcus Garvey? To whom can we compare him? He stands alone on the page of the world's history until the last hours of recorded time, sublime and adorable with the halo of saints and martyrs round his head. Dear friends, my message to you is that we must look for the bright and hopeful day for our common humanity along the lines of tolerance and universal brotherhood of the scattered millions of the fallen race, when our hopes shall have realized their heights through the sentiments of our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, founder of the U, N, L, A, and which has caused us to be gathered here today will bring unto us liberty, something more than a name, because the right to liberty is mockery and a delusion except the power to be free exist also. I cannot dispense the truth, that we the Negro people of this section, are suffering from a social malady. Those who have had advantages of education and culture do not us a full make sufficient highrises about the Habits and conditions of the unwashed, the malitered and unintelligent. The literature do not in private community with the illiterate, whose conduct and whose crimes bring shame to the race, and disregice to themselves, whilst the lot of all the first kills will be the victim. Is made in broadly hard therapy. Dear friends, I am informed to a brother who is called by the Marcus Garvey whose brother would have three of the meaning of these ill races, and making simply the same aim, would have little chance to have any real effect on the human race. THE NEGRO: WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1921 we are moved as they are moved, and are never suffered to be indifferent spectators of almost anything which man can do or suffer. It touches a tander chord in my bosom when I think of the Negro mothers, of the brown skin ones, how much they owe to them; their earliest nourishment, their training in the ways of life, their guarding spirit in early infancy, and now, when they should be of good service to those Negro mothers, these are being cast upon the shores of forgetfulness, and the red skin ones roll the definition like a sweet morsel under their tongues, I am not black, because my father was an Indian, or if not, he was a white man, and vice versa.

STOCK IN THE BLACK STAR LINE $5.00 per Share 5,100 SHARES UNIA Walter Pass To examine this point concerning the effect of tragedy in a proper manner, we must previously consider how we are affected by the feelings of our fellow creatures in circumstances of real distress. Fellow citizens, whenever we are formed by nature to any active purpose, the passion which animates us to it is attended with delight; or pleasure of some kind, let the subject matter be what it will; hence we see that our Creator has designed that we should be united by the bond of universal brotherhood which is strengthened by a proportionable delight, but a great deal of our brothers and sisters pride themselves in selfishness, although attending regularly the temple, where they exhibit their gallant robes, without doing the right thing, they pride themselves and with a degree of delight, in the downfall of their race; thus we see that where their sympathy should be is most wanted—in the distresses of the race. Friends, not only for myself, but for the body of which I am president, I have no hesitation in asking. Must we, the men or people of four hundred million strong, remain as brutes do, the same at the end and that they are at this day and that they were in the beginning of the world? God has planted in the minds of men that condition of ambition which our leader has set forth, that satisfaction which arises from the contemplation of his excelling his fellows in something valuable for the fallen race of the scattered millions: the position of our race at this moment is without precedent in history. Remember, brothers and sisters, the independence and integrity of Africa are vital interests to we the Negro people of the scattered millions. Industrial and Commercial Development are the basis of success for any people.

Industrial and Commercial Development are the basis of success for any people. The advantages and money-making possibilities of the Black Star Line to the race are so great that you cannot afford to be without stocks in this Corporation. No one can feel more poignantly than I do this pressing necessity. Brothers, the pilgrimage has not been accomplished and the peaks have not been gained. Then can we be silent? No. Yet the grandeur of Garvey's sympathy and ideals has been a surprise to the world, and it has arrested universal attention and inspired universal admiration. TOMBOS In the coming ages mothers will tell their children of our leader, who is at the head of four hundred millions, so you Negro mothers and fathers, have your sons and daughters educated, and ever bear in mind that from a broad view of our struggle, I cannot see any other remedy that can be applied to heal our social malady and save the victims of scattered millions, but education because the differences between men are organic and fundamental, and in the contest between brains and numbers brains have always won and always will. Education moves the mainsprings of industry and frugality, which are the laws of thrift and wealth. A glance at history will give the proof. We all know that from the dawn of time the abolition of poverty has been the dream of visionaries and the hope of philanthropists, and that it is the unsolved enigma of political economy. Job was a wealthy man in stocks and Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold, therefore to amass great fortunes is a special endowment which is announced in Scripture, "The Lord thy God giveth thee the power to get wealth." Wealth has the noblest of missions, as we can see from the sojourn of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the land of the Canaanites, and although wealth has accumulated beyond the dreams of avarice, the inequality of distribution is as great as in the time of Job, Solomon and Agia, because labor and capital, which should be allies, are like hostile armies fortified in camps preparing for battle. If love were the controlling motive in the hearts of men the actual condition of the world would not have been so; selfishness is the controlling principle, not only with the major part of, but with nearly all Christendom, and those red Negroes who stand aside and follow the passion of selfishness, which will in the near future bear the bitter fruits that will be ripe for the vintage of Revelations, xiv, 19-20. Only one exception can I think of, those Negroes who hold the doctrine that it is impossible to civilize Africa, and who believe that God has decreed it so those selfish red Negroes are dead—they are ailsen, Utem, et opera.

They should consult history and get to know as far back as the lights of tradition reach, and they will see that Africa was the cradle of science, while Syria and Greece and Italy were yet covered with darkness, the rudiments of improvement came from the headwaters of the Nile far in the interior of Africa; and Africa is not now sunk lower than Scotland, whose metropolis has been called the Athens of modern Europe was nineteen hundred years ago, an infested wilderness of savages.

Now comes meddleeume Bishop Smith with bis chronio ideas but, after all, this ts nothing new; for his old repository of Negro religious supermitution (the church) has ever deen e thorn in the fleah of the Goddess of Reesoz, But, as Bishop Smith ts somewhat at © lose as to how men aboard ahips can be transported to Afriom tt behooves me in turn, to ask the good Blahop how can he beiteve tn spiritual things if he has no faith io worldly affairet’ Why preach the unknown and unknowable in contempt of the known? And as for Biblical doo- trines, how, I ak, would the Bishop go to work to prove that a devil en- tered tnto a Grove of swine? Who caw ft and how would the Bishop know « devil Af he dtd ase him? The Bishop harps about miracles. Let him harp op, but how would he go to prove « mir- acle? We have his word for tt, bat his word amounts to less than nothing, uniees he proves that the Children of Taras crossed the ReG Sea where the world was made in atx days where a man was made of mud; where a woman was created from what a Franch chef calls a cutlet steals; where a man once walked upon water where covans were reddened with wine; where eticke and rods were turne@ into mrpents; where a man cruised about in the belly of w fabs where @ wotnan give Birth to ® ghost without oobabitertcn with man, oF where a serpent out-talked « woman, and, that, too, without the woman be- tng surprised at hearing a snake talk. ‘With all his pretended wisdom and divine inspiration, let Bishop Smith have the goodness to acrwer these questions convincingly, for these are the probleme that the greatest and wisest are endeavoring to solve, not comiton every day visible problems, such as ships and men.

The public feature of the evening presentation Negro among our people of the Papama Canal, in ne- cropolis, that Mr. Stoula, whose name in the m台台 of the great president of Cuba during the previous year had reached the ease of every the playing, began at 8 p. m. and continued, seated, on the platform of the stage. J. R. Bennett, ex-President of the General Organizer, and chairman of the Swinging; M. Stoute; J. L. Brown, Assistant Secretary; P. C. Collins, Treasurer and Choir- person; H. J. Watson, Lady Browness, and the Black Cross Nurses members of the choir. The singing piece was the singing of the Woman, "From Greenland's Ice land" from the Universal Negro Society, arranged to the branch by the Choir Secretary, after which hymn was performed. MARSHAL HENRY. "Make a Joyful Nose for the Lord," by the shady, was introduced in his opening address, repeating the exhilaration, the excitement, which he intended to introduce the visitor to the museum, number of the race, which he recently against the illusion, of the fishing class on the marsh, small fishery gaining the advantage and benefit of the maturity of the sea, and behalf of the Harbor Division of this Association. I wish to give my hand, and not only give my heart also, and hope mending may rest upon you, that for your personal benefit but for the benefit of humanity, and, as first member of the Association in Cuba, we extend to you by appeals and presents here." The Association continued by authorizing the ship to impart the cause, showing these we ought to think, curiously infulished, other works, and more things. "We want others to think, and we want to be beautiful too. We are now, we need to establish in Monrovia the Association of the Universal Negro Association, as that we need to bring little to the ma- terial, time of the association, using, their co-operation to get to retrieve from your own interests of Jamaicanism, Jamaica, Trinidad, American and other ourselves Ne- grovians, and then together, and we will, together, and another, make good." ing that he could not find words to express the thoughts that were passing through his mind at the time, in that he was overwhelmed with joy to see the gathering for the aim we have in view. He very impressively welcomed the visitor as one of the promoters of the U. N. L. A., and said that we have no time to spare in fighting for the glorious objective before us, the "Redemption of Our Race," which is in no way inferior to the other races. "In Marcus Garvey," he said, "we have a solution of the Negro problems of the world, and we should all endeavor to do our bit and wait for no one, and never stop until we acclaim 'Africa free for the Negroes.' Indeed, it is very pleasing to note the manner in which the worthy gentleman has caught the spirit of the new Negro and is endeavoring, with the help of the assistant secretary of the branch, to foster the aims among the others of the Carlistian tongue." The recitation, "The Pioneers of the U. N. I. A," rendered by Mr. Thompson, was the essence of elocution. At this stage the chairman intimated to the audience that a short time ago eighteen thousand people on the Panama Canal all drank one bottle of stout and got stimulated, and now we are going to have some of that same stout (the visitor from Panama). Mr. Stouta miles mildt loud cheer, and expressed his great delight to be found among the members of the Havana Division. He illustrated that the task before him of addressing the Havana Division was a difficult one, not that he thought himself incapable of finding words to express his thoughts, but from the fact that one had spoken from the very platform who is greater than be, a man with undanntless courage, one divinely sent to work out the salvation of the Negro race, and on whom all eyes are turned at this time. "But we know, he continued, "that all generals have got their captains and lieutenants and sergeants, and I am proud tonight to stand before you as a lieutenant of that being. I refer to no less a person than the Hon. Marcus Garvay, who is seizing his life in the face of difficulties and demanding the better treatment of the members of our race so that we can be protected, so that we may be able to take care of our women, and give them proper support, enabling them to think properly and cultivate the good qualities in them, rather than laboring more than they ought." Then, in a very calm but impressive and convincing manner, he continued to draw attention to the indispensable usefulness of the Association, saying in part: "I am here to give you what has been given to me through the columns of The Negro World. I have not sat at the feet of the great modern teacher, because. I was in the hands of the white man when he came to the Canal Zone. The white man realized the spirit. I have among the members of my race, and so he held me in jail until Mr. Garvay left there. But, thank God! through the medium of the press I have been electrified with his specialties and the success with which we meet." The gentleman endeavored to enumerate many of the impediments common to the movement from his experience in the Panama division, and asked for the united support of everyone, realizing that everyone cannot be President. After making a stirring appeal for more members, he concluded by saying that whereas he believes in the second coming of Christ as much all anyone, the commandment is still imperative. "Occupy till I come," and therefore everyone ought to strive to meet his talent, and claim his rights. Why, then, cannot the Negro establish in Africa a commonwealth bigger than the United States of America, so that when the Lord comes he may say "Wall done, good and faithful servant. Thou has been faithful over a few things. Enter into My joy and sit down on My throne."

Bianco No. $ Alton, Havana, Cuba. June 7, 1921. CHAPTER NO.1 U.N. L.A. AND A.C.L.CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY Decoration Day found the sixties bombarded. Not with shot and shell, however, but with the eloquence of President J. E. Samuel, Capt. E. L. Galnez, minister of legislation, Vice-President Humphrey Philppe and B. Benonte Palrclough, choirmaster. On Decoration Day Chapter No. 1 celebrated the first anniversary of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. with a monster parade. The legiona Black Cross Nurses and motor corps turned out in uniform and were ably handled by Col. Harrigan and his staff of officers. The parade started from sixty-first street and Amsterdam avenue; down sixty-fourth street to West End avenue; up sixty-third street, down sixty-second street to West End avenue, up sixty-first street, where more than 2,000 people assembled to listen to the different speakers. Mr. Fairclough, master of ceremonies, asked that the national anthem of the United States be played by the band. It was also sang by the choirs from Liberty Hall and Sixty-third street. The anthem of the association was then played by the band. Mr. Fairclough told his hearers that this was the only time in the history of the race that so many people assembled together for one common cause. His eloquence so surprised both the friends and enemies of the association that they wanted to know if he was not the Hon. Marcus Garvey. President J. E. Samuels then spoke. His hearers cheered heartily what they considered the speech of his life. Mr. Humphrey Philpa, vice-president of the chapter, then spoke with enthusiasm. He appealed to the people of the community to support the movement. Mr. Evelyn Thomas of Brooklyn delivered a remarkable address, in which he took his hearers back to the days of their ancestors and showed them the wrong that were perpetrated against them. He urged his hearers to awake from their lethargy and do some constructive work for their race. Captain Galineus was the last speaker, and was introduced as the 20-inch cannon. He bombarded to the right of them, to the left of them, in front of them, that he brought tears to the eyes of the members and friends of the association. The occasion was then brought to a close at 5:30, only to appear at Liberty Hall, where a grand concert was given by the chair of Chapels No. 1, assisted by the Liberty choir. The Ht. Hon. High Chancellor Dr. Stewart acted as chairman. It was there that Mr. Fairclough set the hall afire with his eloquence. Sometimes his hearers would be laughing, while at other times he would have them spellbound, as if nailed to their chairs. Miss S. V. Samuels delivered a recitation, entitled "When Africa Awakes," which brought down the house with tremendous applause. President Samuels addressed the assemblage, the report of the chapter was read, the officers introduced and the great event came to a close with dancing. GEORGE JAMES, NEW ABERDEEN DIVISION ON MEMBERSHIP DRIVE A delegation from the above-mentioned division comprising of Messara H. Raysida, W. Griffith, A. Marshall, Treasurer A. Frances and Secretary W. T. Hunte paid a fraternal visit to the district of New Waterford on Sunday, May 1, on a special membership drive. Quite an enthusiastic meeting was held, and many brilliant addresses were given by the speakers. Five new members then enrolled and pledged their loyalty to the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. The other members were also greatly edited. On the following evening, May 2, a masquerade ball was given, under the auspices of the Black Cross Nurses, when quite an exciting and amusing evening was spent. Fraternally youa Harron Hill Division 177 Honors Rt. Hon. Rev. J. D. Gordon, Vice-President General of the U. N. I. A. The meeting was opened by the Chaplain with the hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains." A short program was rendered, as follows: Welcome address, Mrs. Walter B. Tucker; Spanish guitar solo, Mr. Charles Edw. Allen; recitation, Mrs. Adalade Lewis; "An Ethiopian Jubilee," Mr. and Mrs. Walter Tucker. The above mentioned program was fixed in book form and embossed in gold, with Egyptian pictures in the center of the cover. Herron Hill Division and the name of President James Young was also on the cover in gold. The same was designed and made by Mr. and Mrs. Walter B. Tucker. President James Young presented it to His Honor the Right Honorable J. D. Gordon. The above mentioned booklet was the first of its kind that had ever been presented to any leader. The gold embossed booklet so pleased the Right Honorable Vice-President General that he promised to preserve it forever and put it in the history of the Nero. When the program was at an end, Mr. Walter B. Tucker introduced President James Young to the audience as the U. N. L. A. hero of Western Pennsylvania—the man who first brought the doctrine of Garveyism to Pennsylvania. (Applause.) President James Young spoke only a short time, after which he introducted 1 Mr. P. J Clyde Randall to the Rt. Hon. J. D. Gordon and to the audience. (Applause.) Mr. Randall is an attorney at law and a staunch member of the U. N. L. A. After a brief speech Mr. Randall introduced to the audience the Rt Hon. Rev. J. D. Gordon, Vice-President of the U. N. L. A. (Much applause.) The Black Cross Nurses in uniform and the Legion rose, while the captain of Legions of Horror Hall saluted Rt. Hon. Rev. J. D. Gordon. Mr. President, Officers and Members:—I am very delighted to be here tonight. The program I witnessed was wonderful. I am proud of James Warren. We are honored as headquarters to praise your president. He is suffering through royalty. Mr. Young holds his peace through sacrifice. He labors untold hours for the U. N. L. A. Some day soon he shall be justly rewarded for all. My subject tonight will be The U. N. L. A.: Its Doctrines and Programs. "Some of us have been taught wrong about the work of the U. N. L. A. The U. N. L. A.: to turn the Negro to the new ideas; to make the Negro proud of himself. It teaches the world universal freedom for all. Africa is for the Negro. All nations were above us, so we must work faithfully to be successful. I believe if you could let the people see the pur- fort the U. N. L. A more would be for it. Some people ask, 'Are you against the chirrups, Dr. Gordon?' I answer, 'No, I am a Baptist preacher myself.' We want the churcha. This is a universal movement. We represent every Negro under the sun. We help the wise and the unwise Negro. The first purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to gather the Negroes. We as a race ought to stay together. We were torn from Mother Africa and scattered over the four corners of the world. 'We have been kept in slavery in a white man's country, while tender-hearted sisters and brothers mourned for us. "All other nations stand for their home land, and plan always how to help their home land. Why should the sons of Ham not do the same thing? Some of our Negroes say, 'Oh, I haven't lost anything in Africa.' Well, as they have lost nothing in Africa, let them stay here until they find what they have lost in America. "I do not mind anyone knowing the purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. "The U. N. L. A. has organized for the purpose of giving leadership. Men you cannot buy out. We want Negro leaders selected by Negroes. Negro leaders that are paid by Negroes. Let the white man select his own leader. We of the U. N. L. A. are not going to let white folks or white folks' Negroes lead us any more. "The U. N. L. A. is to make the ```markdown ``` LISTEN BROTHER, LET'S GO! OH YES! YOU TOO SISTER Let's get right down to business. It is really too bad we can't just sit down and have a nice little heart-to-heart chat about the NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION. You know, we can understand each other so much better when we talk to each other directly. Type seems cold. But since we can't talk it over face to face, just sit right down, read this over carefully and imagine that we are talking to you face to face. THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION As you perhaps already know, is organised to build, own and operate factories all over these United States, the West Indies, Central and South America in the interest of Negroes for Negroes and to be run wholly by Negroes. Now such a program must appeal to every Negro. Why shouldn't it. When these factories are put up and are in full operation, employment will be given any number of Negroes, and remember, they will not be confined to monkish jobs. Of course, you understand that there is no disgrace in any kind of work—but there will be positions for clerks, stonographers, managers, superintendents, and so on. will be available when we have all put our shoulders to the wheel and put up these factories. There’s where you can help. When we say “Let’s Go” we mean all the pool our monies and create these factories. What pooling our monies will do and how effective it is, we would like to have you take a walk to 62 West 142d Street. Perhaps you are too far away to walk up there. Anyway, we are operating a first-class steam laundry at that address. There are any number of Negroes employed there—manglers, pressera, ironox, etc. turning out plenty of work for Negroes. Then if you could take a walk around the corner to Lenox Ave. and 141st Street, you would see there a first-class millinery store and hat factory with any number of colored ladies engaged in the manufacture of hats, trimming, etc.—all of them colored—from the forehead to the errand girl. These two concerns are owned and operated by THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION. But they show what we can do when we all put our shoulders to the wheel. Now, just suppose every Negro in the World bought at least one share in the Negro Factories Corporation! Don't you realize what that would mean? Why, we would be putting up these factories in quick time and our racial ambition would be realized: our financial status would be improved; the investment would bear fruit. Why, we could go on to enumerate all the benefits you yourself and the race as a whole would derive. But since you too have vision and are ambitious we know that you have already visualized them. is the prospect of our ambition. It is our birthright. It proves our worth and our position. It is the test of our greatness. To all those with pride in progress it is a compelling force. BE AMBITIOUS FOR YOURSELF—FOR YOUR RACE The building of nations, the cultivation and utilization of rental ideas, the advancement of a race or nation, the increase of economic and industrial effectiveness, all these come to answer to the call of ambition. Help yourself and your race. Look every one case straight in the eye. Stand erect in your manhood and womanhood. Purchasers shirts in the Negro Fashion Corporation—make a future for your children and your children's children. Use the bank below and do it now while these good thoughts are going through your mind. The shares are only Five Dollars each. Buy as many as you can. NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION I hereby subscribe for.....shares of Stock at $5.00 per share and forward herewith as part or full payment $.....on same balance to be paid within 60 days. Negroes proud of themselves. We must change our sentiment. There is something in the black man the world has not found out. Look on our girls, no race has any prettier girls. Some will say, 'But, Dr. Gordon, we have such kinky hair.' Yes, that may be so, but God made our hair to suit the climate of Africa. He twisted those curls tight to our heads that we would not suffer so from the heat of the sun. No one can stand as much heat as the Negro. "The U. N. I. A. is to teach the Negroes to love themselves. Fill your walls with pictures of Negroes, and honor our Negro heroes. Every Negro should give their children Negro dolls to play with. Negro man, protect our girls from the devils who seek to harm them. Let the world know that we are no longer cowards. "The U. N. L. A. introduces a program: We want factories and stores that we can put our girls and boys to work in, that they may have some way with which to use their educations and will not have to go from college to some white person's cook kitchen, or to some boot-black stand. Can't you see the bright future dawning for us?" "We want ships, and our ships shall gather trade. We are just about to add a new ship, the Phyllis Wheley, to the ships belonging to the Black Star Lina. When we do something for ourselves everyone will be proud of us. Heaven shall be glad. Anything wrong with that?" "Next the U. N. L. A. is to organise. We have found out that a man that is organized in his own mind can --- made old men come to him. When you organize, a body of men, they are strong. Animals get together to keep warm in winter, herms and birds organizing. Why should the Negro not organize? We insist not only gather but organize. "We have a great leader, the Honorable Marus Garvey, and let us stand by him. The earth shall know no peace until the 400,000,000 cons and daughters of Ethiopia are free. I thank you." Thus ended the speech. Many joined and contributed to the dollar drive. The meeting came to a close. Refreshments were served by the Black Cross Nurse. MR JAMES YOUNG, President, MRS. WALTER B.

As the hearers arrived at the house, the hymn "Art then weary, art then languid!" was sung as six men lifted the corpse and carried it to the house. The streets were in bad condition owing to the weather. We then formed ourselves in a double flim and marched to the cemetery. One of the features of the evening was our Black Cross Nurse, who headed the rathk, dressed in their full uniform and under the command of the Head Matron and Lady President, Miss Emma Partington, who marched behind them. They conducted themselves as trained soldiers as they marched along the streets of the city, singing and doubling silly as they reached the inconvenient places. This incident was one of surprise to the people of Camagua City. They gathered in large masses by the sidewalks and stores and even by their doors and windows. The distance from the home of the deceased was a very long one, but we marched along with earnestness, this making the journey easy to us. As a band of people moving in harmony and strength, showing the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, so that the world may see that we are on the eve of success. As soon as the procession was nearing the cemetery, six of the officers easily fell out of the line, three on each side, and coolly took their march to the front and waited on the corpse. As soon as they reached the gates of the cemetery, the six men lifted the body from the hearse. Laying it on the tide, they lifted it again and marched to the grave, where it was patted, and the burial sermon was administered by the same Brother Hodgwick White. The hymn, "fleepe On, Betrothed," was sung as we all took our leave from the grave. Thus ended the funeral proceedings of Miss Adela McKenzie, former resident of No. 37 Progresso, Camagua, Cuba.

He has endured many trials, met with many odds, disappetitions and discouragements. He has indeed exercised and endured patience in its truest sense. Now that he is blessed with an election to Negro episcopacy, does not surprise us at all. Dr. Gardiner is a man as he appears to be—a Christian gentleman of mild disposition, sound judgment, high ideals, broad-mindedness and above all of a resolute mind. We hope Dr. Gardiner will appreciate this high gift of the Church and adorn it with integrity, seal and honor. We quote Dr. Gardiner's own words from his pen from the article of "The Spirit of Mission," April number, 1929, giving an historical sketch of his life. "I believe it was in the year 1820 that I was taken out of heathenism. My father died when I was about eight years of age. About four years later I was put in the mission school as Cape Mount under the first white missionaries at that station, Bishop Panick, the Rev. John McAbb, the Rev. Curtis Grubb and Messra, Schmidt and Parker. On my way to Cape Mount from my heathen home I was in danger of being taken prisoner by a powerful tribe who had made war on the towns near Cape Mount, but by God's favor these enemies were driven back. The object of my people in sending me to the mission school was simply to give me a short English education, to enable me to carry on a large business among them. Nearly all of the Veys take much delight in mercantile pursuits, and they thought that this would be of great use to them. Not knowing of the true God, they had no higher aim for them than this. In the latter part of 1888 I was baptised by the Rev. Henry W. Meek, a zealous and consecrated servant of God whose body lies in the mission graveyard at Cape Mount. The K. C. was conferred on Dr. Gardiner by President Howard for distinguished service in the hinterland. In the year 1888 I was confirmed by Bishop Ferguson. Mrs. Briarty was my godmother, she took no little pains in training me in the way I should go. She was filled with the spirit of God and indeed lived a life of self-sacrifice, counting not her life dear unto herself. Her body also rests in the mission graveyard. At this time I had well advanced in my studies and had begun to appreciate my Christian training. Just than pladdes were made by a number of the mission boys, in the presence of Bishop Ferguson and Dr. G. W. Gibson, who was then superintendent of the mission, to do certain work for the good of the mission. Some, were to be ministers, catechist and teachers; others to be carpenters, silicamakers, etc. I was one of those who pladded to try to be a minister. It was then after being made a full member of the church that my people not knowing the vows and promises made in baptism and confirmation began to torment me to leave school, as they thought I had learned sufficient to go into the world and make money for Light and Heavy Hauling Orders Receive Prompt 'Attention PHONE: HARLEM 2877 U.

My aunt having me, children, according to the laws of the country, I was to have all that belonged to her after her death, and even while she was living to have some right over her things, she tried to prov upon me to leave school to come home and take charge of things for her and my mother, as I was the only boy in the finally, but all these things counted but little that I might win Christ. In the year 1899 the late Reverend O. E. H. Shannon, then superintendent of the mission, noticed that something seemed to be troubling me. I told him everything—how my mother and aunt were desirous of taking me out of school for worldly gain. He told me that there was a good school near completion at Cape Palmas and advised me to write to the bishop for a transfer. The bishop gave his consent and I gladly packed everything to leave for Cape Palmas. On September 15, 1899, I left Cape Mount and arrived at Cape Palmas three days later. I was a perfect stranger and found things in a very unfinished condition, which made it somewhat hard for me, but I made up my mind to stay. In 1899 I became a candidate for Holy Orders; in 1899 I was ordained to the deacons and in 1899 was advanced to the priesthood. In 1899, at the special request of the members, the bishop appointed me pastor of Mount Vaughan chapel, under the Rev. G. W. Gibeon, rector of St. Mark's parish. Nothing could please me more than to be an associate pastor in this historic spot of our mission, at the same time continuing my work as teacher in the school at Cuttington. In the little graveyard near the Chapel at Mount Vaughan lie the ashes of many pioneer missionaries. The Church in Liberia owes much to them. How they left kindred and comfortable homes in order to help in redeeming Africa, is too wonderful to think of. Though they are dead and buried, yet they speak. Through their earnest seal and efforts in the past, a good result is shown in the number of native clergymen trained under Bishop Ferguson, who was himself directly under their influence. Being the first amongst my people, the Voy, to enter the ministry in our Church, and to labor for thirteen and a half years on the historical spot of our work at Mount Vaughan, and now at Hoffman Station, is indeed cheering to me. I ask your earnest prayers that God may fit and prepare me more and more for this great work. The "Visitor" takes this method to THOMAS & THOMAS, Inc.
