The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro—The Peerless Paper Guaranteed Circulation 50,000 Reaching the Mass of Negroes Throughout the World Negro World ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY Chained to Stake and Torch Applied—Governor Dorsey May Propose Measures to End Pogroms in His Final Message to Legislature. MOULTRIE, Ga., June 18—Following indignant denials by men prominent in the political affairs of Georgia and supposedly her "best citizens" of the charges of burning, lynchings and other forms of mob violence against Negroes contained in a pamphlet recently issued by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, some of the "best citizens" of this State gathered on the Court House lawn here and took John Henry Williams, a Negro, from the sheriff, who turned him over to them without the least show of resistance, carried him to the edge of a pond, chained him to a stump, saturated his body with gasoline, applied the torch and burned him to death in the most gruesome manner—Georgia fashion VOL.

He was indicted Friday and delivered to the Moultrie sheriff early Saturday morning and put on trial, the Moultrie sheriff in turn turning him over to the mob for trial and conviction, according with Georgia practice. May Propose Legislation Legislation on finance and law enforcement, with the latter, again bringing to the fore discussion of treatment of Negroes in Georgia, is expected to occupy much of the time of the General Assembly of Georgia which convenes in annual session Wednesday. Governor Hugh M. Dorsay has indicated that in the next month the Legislature he will propose various measures designed to prevent mob violence and to change the methods of trying persons accused of taking part in lynchings. Former United States Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, who takes office as Governor on June 25, declared in a recent address that he believed Governor Dorsay that a pamphlet on "The Negro in Georgia" as a "slander on the State" and that soon after taking office as Governor he will issue an official reply to it. One member of the Legislature has publicly announced that he intends to offer resolutions providing for an investigation with a view to remedying conditions if found as Governor Dorsey charges, or impeachment of the Governor if not borne out. Governor Dorsey has discussed proposals for changing the State law so that a State trial court could be convened by the Governor to investigate violence and try the accused. One plan, he suggested, and which he is said to have been studying, would provide for such a court to be composed of three to five Superior Court judges, with the court's grand and patti juries drawn from the State at large, so as to avoid any possible local prejudice in dealing with prob cases. It also has been indicated that in his farewell message he will propose establishment of a State constabulary. Demands that the State pass laws covering peonage, now solely a Federal offense, have been made in some of the various letters and cards published in the Georgia press during the State-wide discussion of Governor Dorsey's pamphlet on the Negro, which various State officials have attacked and defended. The Governor has not publicly indicated his attitude on the subject. NO BIG JOBS FOR COLORED MEN UNDER HARDING ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON. June 19. — Negro politicians have been told they will not be given positions under the Harding administration that have to be passed upon by the Senate. This is understood to mean the jobs of Register of the Treasury and Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia will go to white men, although a number of minor places may go to colored men and women. Chairman Adams, of the National committee, it is understood, is friendly to the Slime idea to build up a "Lily White" Republican party in the South. In the distribution of patronage the Southern Negro will be ignored if white men can be 'bad for the jobs.' Republican leaders are experiencing some trouble in organizing a formidable party of whites in South Carolina. They have been flirting with former Senator John L. McLaupin, Senator Timmy's old colleagues in the Senate years ago, who could have the job of the counterattendant for his office if he would agree to reorganize the C.O.A.R. forces along white lines. Although Whites Started Trouble Very Few of Them Indicted So Far TULSA, Okla., June 18—A Grand Jury investigating the recent outbreak here in which the whites burned down the Negro section and mercilessly shot down innocent men, women and children, returned twenty-four more indictments today, mostly against Negroes. Very few indictments were included in this latest test. The comparatively few whites indicted are charged with booting and arson. That the Grand Jury investigation is disgrace one sided in the opinion of some leading citizens here both white and colored. To substantiate this opinion, they point to the wholesale indictments returned against Negroes while comparatively few whites have been indicted, although the latter were in a large measure responsible for the outbreak. Charges are also made against the militiamen who are reported to have rocklessly shot down several innocent Negroes. A recent order compelling all Negroes to go around wearing tags or be subject to immediate arrest indicates to what length the Tulsa authorities have gone to abuse Negroes. EDUCATION THE BEST CURE FOR RADICALISM President Hopkins Declares Laws Are Powerless to Check Growing Discontent PHILADELPHIA, June 16—Modern civilization may be threatened by the weapons it has created to defend itself against possible enemies unless higher education is brought within the reach of the masses and applied unselfishly. Ernest Martin Hopkins, president of Dartmouth. College, said in an address yesterday at the 16th commencement of the University of Pennsylvania. The world war and the natural progress of events have unleashed gigantic forces with which the church, as well as the educational system, must concern itself primarily and without delay, Dr. Hopkins told the graduates. Radicalism and the rights of dissatisfied minorities presented an all important question, he said, compared to which the multitude of other problems of the time were but subordinate details. "The legislative hall, the court room and the prison are alike powerless in this realm," said he. "We cannot make men work by infunction; nor can we discover malign intentions by the threat of punishment. Only by rehabilitation of the mind of man and increase of the areas of intelligence and goodness of man to an extent that shall eliminate the chance of evil infection can the opportunities of life be insured."

Two parties came to blows and two Americans and a Japanese were hurt. Authorities of both nations are investigating the matter—Central News. INTERESTING COLLECTION OF BOOKS AT 135th ST. LIBRARY Through the courtesy of Mr. Arthur Schumburg there is an interesting collection of Books magazines and pictures of early Negro preschools available at the 185th street library. Mr. E. C.

He believes that books mean education, and lectured on this subject. He talked especially on Negro literature and stressed the need of the Negro studying and reading his own literature as well as that of other nationalities. The lecture was most interesting and informing and the audience seemed very enthusiastic and pleased. The Booklowers' Club will meet at the library Tuesday evening, June 21. Every one is cordially invited. TULSA RIOT A WARN EVERYWHERE TO UN COSTLY IN HUMAN Rev. Dr. J. H. Eason Gives B Clash—Lauds Colored B Their Homes and Loved Law and Order, and, T Constitution—Cure for in Making Other Races Human Beings and M Respect the Flag—M About the Coming Con Monday evening, June 18, a large gathering of race-loving people gathered in Liberty Hall to hear the Rev. Dr. J. H. Eason speak on the recent race riot in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dr. Eason in his address gave out first-hand information concerning the riot, which was given him in person while in Chicago by a colored man who was in Tulsa at the time and who immediately after it was over left the city and took up his residence in Chicago. Back of the immediate cause of the trouble, said Dr. Eason, was a deeper cause, which had its origin in the long trampling everywhere, in all the states of the Union, upon the legal and constitutional rights of the Negro and the lawyay that has arisen, more especially among the working classes, against the blokk man because of his advancing in the acquisition of knowledge and wealth despite his many handicaps and the obstacles in his path in whatever direction he turns to gain industrial and economic independence. The Tulsa holocaust inflicted many businesses on the city and state. DOMINICANS OBJECT TO TERMS OF AMERICAN WITHDRAWAL Stirred by Conditions of Proclamation, Announcing Intention of U. S. to Withdraw WASHINGTON, June 19.—The National Dominican Commission, headed by former President Henriquez, has received several cablegrams from Santo Domingo protesting against the American proclamation announcing the intention of the United States to withdraw from the republic after a responsible government has been established in accordance with the existing constitution and laws. A mass meeting scheduled today for Santo Domingo City was organized by the press of the capital. The protestants object to some features of the proclamation which are distasteful. They will be brought out at the mass meeting today. The proclamation leaves the American Military Governor in absolute authority until all of the formalities are concluded. The proclamation also requires the Dominicans to approve formally all acts of the military government and extends the scope of the American general receiver's authority to cover the final loan of $3,500,000, floated to complete public works. GOMEZ BURIED IN CUBA WITH MILITARY HONORS HAVANA, June 19—General Jorge Miguel Gomes, former President of Cuba, was buried today with ceremonies attended by the greatest popular demonstration. The police and military had difficulty in keeping the way clear for the funeral procession, so great were the crowds. President Zayas was the nation's chief mourner. He followed close behind the automobile carrying the widow with her children and the artillery calison on which the bronze coffin was borne to the marble mausoleum in Colon Cemetery. While the procession moved from the Gomes palace to the cemetery and during the burial services airplanes circling over the city dropped flowers. ING TO NEGROES WITE—LYNCHING VERY LIFE TO BOTH RACES Facts Bearing on Tulsa Race Men Who Fought to Protect Ones—Says They Stood for therefore, Were Defenders of Mob Violence and Lynching Realize That Negroes Are Must Be Treated as Such— Marcus Garvey. Sends Notevention. the lesson that mob violence and lynching of Negroes are now very costly in human life, not only to Negroes, but to white people as well, since the colored people in this country have determined no longer to permit such practices against them without offering a stout resistance to all who attempt to take the law into their own hands. The lesson to the Negro people of the world, said Dr. Essex to his hearers, is that they must unite, otherwise they will be crushed out of existence, and that while it is all well and good to be peaceful, yet there is a time to fight, as when wanton attempts are made by mob to lynch us or to invade our homes and give them to the flames. Dr. Essex paid a glowing tribute to those men in Tulsa who fought to defend their homes and their loved ones and said they have won their fight then as among the race's greatest heroes and martyrms. The address was postulated throughout with emphasis but the subject was never set in motion, only after Dr. Essex, himself a slave, was freed by his master. LIBERTY HALL CROWDS AUGMENTING AS SECOND CONVENTION DRAWS NEAR—CRADLE OF LIBERTY CONTINUES AS HARLEM'S CENTRE OF ATTRACTION EGYPT A POW- DER BARREL "No Blank Firing in Future"—Cairo Floggings (From Our Own Correspondent) CAIRO, Wednesday.—The atmosphere here is still electric. Wild rumors from Alexandria are adding to the excitement and today many shops were closed in expectation of fresh disturbances. A warning is issued to the public that the gathering of crowds is forbidden, and will be stopped by police or troops. Anyone taking part in a demonstration may be arrested and tried under this "emergency" prohibition. Anyone, moreover, who attacks members of the Government forces is liable to be fired upon, and all attacks on police stations or Government offices with be met with armed force. Henceforth there will be no preliminary firing of blank cartridges. This morning, naturally, from nothing to allow the tense mood of the fact that over 60 youths have been punished by flogging at the police headquarters. The Alexandria fighting, I learn, was the result of a revolver shot fired from a Greek house on a procession which was carrying aloft a portrait of Mustapha Kemal. The fighting had nothing whatever to do with the Adly-Zagul dispute. 15,000 Signatures. This morning 60 notables from the Assinut province visited Zagul and handed him a declaration of confidence signed by 15,000 inhabitants. The number of signatures is remarkable, considering that only eight per cent. of Egyptians can read and write. Fordham Daily News, May 16, 1821. COLORED GIRL TAKES DEGREE Miss Mossell, of Scholarly Colored Family Honored at Pennsylvania PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 15.—The first of her race to receive the degrees of doctor of philosophy in this country, Miss Sadie Mossell, a young Negro woman, will take her Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania commencement today. Miss Mossell lives at No. 2903 Diamond streeh and her graduation brings to a close a brilliant scholastic career. She is the daughter of Aaron A. Mossell, the first Negro to be graduated from the University law school, and a niece of Dr. N. F.

A vast array of U. N. L. A. enthusiasts filled tonight the big auditorium here, which has become Harlem's greatest centre of attraction, the Mosaic of progressive thought and moral admonition, and the eminent artists and musicians anywhere in the United States can be seen such a large throng of colored people that assemble in the same place Sunday night after Sunday night, and night after night during the week, drawn thither by the same interests and moved by a single purpose, of which the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a living and hopeful expression. No place in New York among Negroes equals it in point of attendance and the enthusiasm of its meetings; nor is there any place where the lovers of the race gain so much inspiration, or where so much material good is actually being done for the welfare of its members as a whole, by bringing them together and by fixing their aims and hopes upon their ultimate world-wide emancipation from economic slavery, ostracism and race prejudice. The chief address of the evening was delivered by Prof. Wm. H. Ferris, editor of the Negro World. In it he told of an editorial appearing in a recent issue of the "New Republic" Magazine, in which it was stated that Negroes are coming into a sense of race solidarity, prepared to hit back at their only means of making other races respect them. The extract, together with the entire speech, is given here in full and should be read by every black man and black woman throughout the land. Prof. Ferris spoke also of race movements that have hitherto been in existence and pointed out that they had failed because in their programs the element of commercial and industrial progress of the Negro was lacking and that unless the race looks to this side of its problem, it cannot hope to rise very high or overcome the barriers in its path. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, in aid, is the only race movement among colored people that is destined to survive and become permanent. These reflections evidently voted the sentiments and views of the viet audience which again and again rose to its feet and vociferously applauded the speaker. A very effective climax was made when he said that the degree must be dominated by a spirit of initiative, urgency, and adventure if they would rise, and that an attitude of military defiance toward the valkyrie on the one hand, coupled with economic dependence more than the other, is incipient and impatient.

B. A. Robertson of that state made a paramount estimate of the entire turbulence when he said: "This is damnable and inexcusable. With either a sheriff or chief of police with nerve this whole thing would not have harbored." If we can allow our visions to penetrate to the real helpless state of 8,000 colored people who have been made humiliated, helpless, crushed in body and sprites and terror stricken, then our geographical location would be no barrier for a warm, innate and sympathetic understanding and meaning of the real "damnable and incusable" atrocities. The damnability of the affair was seen by the Governor through the naificulous and hellish manner from which a whole community of law-abiding, respectful and innocent men, women and children were not only made homeless and helpless, but many of them killed simply because they happen to constitute a numerical part of the 8,000. The insincusability for the chaotic state of affairs was voiced by the Governor when he stated that: "With either a sheriff or chief of police with nerve this whole thing would not have happened." Human life has too frequently been offered on the altar of brutality merely because officers of the law have acted in a helpless state—which ostensibly indicates an obvious alliance with their brethren—doing little or nothing in cases where human lives are being wontonly murdered. When a person becomes ill you (?) can send for a tailor to press his suit of clothes. You try to alleviate his suffering by sending for a doctor who would adequately prescribe. You do not have his suit put on and placed near him to be held upon as a medium for his recovery. When we become hungry we do not stand and gaze upon food to satisfy our appetites. What we want is something to eat and not visionary intruders of the cuisine. The same is true in cases when people are the victims of men who have no reason for law, reason and order. When they break out, what the innocent—and the guilty, too, for that matter—need is adequate and, if necessary, reinforced protection from those whose duty it is to enforce the law at any cost. "With patience as shrift or chief of police with nave this whole thing would not have happened." Turing to judge William's advice have is that the Governor further stated: "This faroe has gone far enough. Get a grand jury. In your instructions order an investigation of the shifft's office, the city administration and particularly the police department, which in this crisis, has been as helpless as the homeless and hungry migrant habit." It is quite vividly apparent that Governor Robinson opined well when he instructed an investigation of everything—lock, stock and barrel. The height 11.6 census gave Tulsa a population of 78,000, of which 8,000 were Negroes—the tokens of the minority. One of the most glaring and contributory causes for such human confiscations of murderous passions is due to a belief many people maintain. They seem to be possessed with the pregnant idea that nearly all Negro men are of mutevolent andustful natures; and naturally, it requires very little hullabalop to let these same people start on their brutal path of human destruction. in nearly all cases of this kind, and even which illuminates the offer- ment of radial aptipathy is the ac- cumulation that some colored man has attacked some white woman. Before the validity of the crime can be asco- sessed or sustained death, high radial abnormality and chase have prevailed, and when the industrial danger of hatred and prejudice gaddle themselves in the health of these low mental men, death, which destruction are the resultant manifestable apeace which precedes the compulsive civilization After all, it does seem peculiarly necessary to give two ranks of people can be given in peace and tranquility for a number of years and then be so suddenly incapable of temporary outbursts or hostilities. However, as in true life, one hardly knows what these violent vampires of nummies have done for us. The possession of justice has information and informal investigation of the crimes and a grand jury has already been established. We will probably not have the whole story of the crimes, but some of them will offer a thorough official investigation. We have made it as possible for the whole story, will be inviolable and have been wary both of the crimes and the rights obtained against them. We have entire affair. But, on the other hand, it is to be remembered that Tulsa has not only murdered some of its colored citizen, but at the same time has nationally and internationally murdered its reputation. DR. GARDINER OF VEI TRIBE TO BE CONSECRATED BISHOP To the Editor of The Negro World I believe the following will be of interest to the readers of Th. Negro World. The Rev Theophilus Momula Gardiner has arrived in New York City from Liberia to be consecrated Bishop-Suffragan of the Episcopal church in Liberia. After the death of Bishop Verguson, the American Negro o. saintly memory, Bishop Lloyd, a white man, visited Liberia and brought to the American church the following resolution from the church in Liberia: Resolved. That the church in America be requested to give to the church in Liberia a bishop who will be a Liberian Mr. Gardiner is a member of Vol tribe and will be the first native African to be consecrated a bishop in the Episcopal church of America. He is with us in Harlem at 205 West 185th street, between Sovonth and Eighth avenue. It is said he knows his people and has their interest at heart. The America church has taken a step in the right direction and we earnestly hope that they may see fit to appoint an African as a full pledged bishop of Liberia. PERCY BRYAN By J. R. AUSTIN Mining Engineer In the proceeding articles we gave a brief definition of the more important structural ore deposits; classification, structure, mode of occurrence, division, correlation, etc. For closing our treatise on ore deposits we shall endeavor to give a brief description of the minerals important as ores. There are certain minerals which are not of importance in a broad geological sense, because they occur in such small amounts in the earth's crust, but are yet of great importance to man on account of the fact that they are the chief sources of supply for the motals used in commerce and the arts. Gold is a good example of this, its value as a medium of exchange depending for the most part on itsrarity. The ores of iron stand in an intermediate position for they are not only important technically, but also as rock-minerals, as previously shown. The metals which are of most importance and whose chief ores are described are gold, silver, lead, copper and iron. Gold. This metal occurs in nature chiefly in the native state, as metallic gold. Its properties are too well known to need further mention, but it may be added that it is easily distinguished from other substances that may resemble it in color, such as iron-pyrites, by its softness and malleability, as it is rather easily out by the knife and may be hammered out into thin plates. Silver. This metal occurs as native metallic silver and combined with sulphur and also arsenic in several minerals. An occurrence, imperceptible to the eye, but of great importance, is that lead and sometimes copper ores are frequently enriched by its presence; it is extracted during the process of metallurgical treatment to which they are subjected to obtain the metals. Native Silver—Is distinguished by its color, softness and malleability in which it resembles gold. Agentite—Silver sulphide is pH-hapthe most common form in which silver 'occurs in combination. It is usually massive sometimes in crystal groups, has a shining metallic lustre on a fresh surface but commonly appears black and dull. It can be easily cut, like lead, with a knife and is very heavy. On fusing it the sulphur burns off leaving pure silver behind. Percentage of silver, 87.1. Lead. Galena—Lead sulphide is one of the most common ore of lead. In color it resembles lead, but it brittle and breaks with a perfect cubic cleavage. It is usually crystallized in cubic forms or in cleavage masses. It is very heavy, and sagely, flexible. Percentage of lead, 86.6. Cerasite—Lead carbonate. Occurs in white or colorless, or in granular whitish crystalline masses. Crystals THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JUNE 25. 1921 have a very high luster. It is very heavy for a non-metallic appearing mineral. It is easily fusible, yielding lead and lead-oxide; dissolves in warm dilute nitric acid with effervescence, and a little sulphuric acid produces a precipitate of white lead sulphate in the solution. Percentage of lead, 77.8. Anglesite—Lead sulphate. Generally in whitish masses, granular to compact, but also occurs in white to colorless crystals. The massive varieties are dull to earthy in appearance, but the crystals have a high luster and are cleavable. Like cerasite usually heavy, but easily distinguished from it by the lack of effervescence when treated with nitric acid. Fuses easily is often found associated with galena, as an alteration product of it. Percentage of lead, 68.2. Copper. Native Copper — The metal sometimes occurs as an ore; its properties need no further description. Cuprite Copper oxide, or ruby copper, usually occurs in massive form but sometimes in crystals showing the form of the cube. It has a high lustre in the crystals to sub-metallic or dull when massive. The color is red and in clear crystals ruby-like. Easily fusible, tingling the blowpipe flame green, is also very heavy. Percentage of copper 88.8. Chalcopyrite.—Copper pyrites. This is one of the most important ores of copper. It commonly occurs in compact, massive form and has a brass yellow color and metallic appearance; it is often tarnished. It resembles common iron pyrites, but is easily distinguished from it by its softness as it can be easily scratched with a knife. It moderately heavy. Percentage of copper, 34.5. Chalcocite.-Copper glance. Generally found massive; crystals rare. Has a conchoidal fracture, a metallic lustre, color of lead and shining on fresh surface, but often tarnished and black; is heavy and has a black streak or powder. Fuses easily; dissolves in nitric acid and solution gives the blue color of copper with ammonia, is soft and easily scratched with a knife. Common in the secondary enrichment zones of veins containing copper. Percentage of copper, 79.8. Malachite.-Green carbonate of copper. Occurs in crusts or rounded masses, often with a velvety surface, of a bright green color of varying shades, and with a fibrous, radiating structure. Usually dull in luster and opaque. Soft, easily scratched with a knife. Dissolves in acid with effervescence. Percentage of copper, 57.4. Asurite.-Blue carbonate of copper. Often in distinctly grouped crystals, also in rounded radiating masses. Of a deep azure blue color. Crystals with glassy luster and often transparent; soft, easily scratched with a knife. Like malachite dissolves in acid with effervescence. Percentage of copper, 55.3. Iron. Hematite—Red oxide of iron. This substance is found in several forms, one of which is crystalline with a silice-like insur, but the most important one geologically is known as common red hematite. In this condition it is not crystallized, but is massive, granular to compact, often in rounded form, sometimes earthy. It has no metallic luster, is opaque and of a dark red to brown color. Its powder and streak are red. It occurs in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks in beds and masses, sometimes of great size, and furnishes a valuable ore of iron. The pure mineral contains 70.0 per cent. of iron. Limonite—Yellow oxide of iron, partly hydrated ferric oxide. Does not crystallize, but is found in earthy formless masses, which are sometimes compact and of rounded shapes, and may exhibit a radiating structure. There is no cleavage and the mineral, while usually dull or earthy in appearance, may in the compact gobular forms show a silky or even somewhat metallic luster. Color is usually brown from light to dark, or brownish-yellow. The powder, or streak, is yellow-brown, which serves to distinguish it from hematite. Percentage of iron, $9.2$. Magnetite. — Ferrorite-ferric oxide. Crystallizes in octahedrons, but is usually seen in small grains in the rocks whose forms are irregular; sometimes in larger masses. Has no cleavage, is brittle and usually too hard to be scratched by a knife. Has a metallic luster, sometimes dull; is opaque and resembles bits of iron or steel in the rocks. Its property of being attracted by a magnet helps to distinguish from other somewhat similar looking minerals. Its powder or streak is black. Is widely distributed in igneous and some metamorphic rocks, usually in small grains, but sometimes in larger masses, especially in contact metamorphic rocks, and then is a valuable ore of iron. Percentage of iron, 72.4. Siderite—Ferrous carbonate. Carbonate of iron, when a pure mineral is extremely like calcite and dolomite.

CAIRO, May 26.—Movement of troops is going on actively, and it is stated that no more British soldiers will be sent home until the situation is more peaceful. A British detachment has left for Abutig, in Upper Egypt, and an air force detachment has been sent to Aasut. Egyptian troops are being distributed over the Delta, and more are coming from the Budan. Caliro police stations are sandbagged and are strongly held by police and Egyptian soldiers. All shops in the city, large and small, are closed today as a demonstration against the Adly Ministry A committee of Egyptian women has sent to the Premier a protest against the attacks on peaceful demonstrations, and declaring that they will themselves lead the processions, so as to receive the lances of the soldiers before their innocent sons, husbands and brothers. LIBERTY HALL CROWDS AUGMENTING (Continued from Page One) (Continued from Page One) Mr. A. M Roberts and Mme. Fraser-Robinson being the solitaries PROF. FERRI8 SPEAK8 Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Ferris, Editor of the Negro World, spoke as follows. High Chancellor, Counsellor General, Minister of Legions, Speaker of the House, Members of the Executive Council, Fellow Members and Friends. I am glad to be with you tonight. I have just come from Brooklyn where I spoke this afternoon and where Dr. Eason spoke this morning. Although they had only 55 members at this morning's meeting they gave $40. in the collection. Nearly every member gave a dollar, and that small Brooklyn Division will possibly raise $100 today. My attention was called to the "New whose properties should be consulted. It crystallizes in a similar form, has the same cleavage, and like them is soft and attacked by acids with effervescence; apt to be brownish in color. The crystallized mineral is not of great geological or economic importance, but massive siderite, either compact or granular in character, is a valuable iron ore. Beds of it, more or less impure with admixed clay and limonite, have a wide distribution and are known as clay-iron-stone. A variety colored black by coal water is known as black-bane ore. In many places these deposits are of great technical value. Percentage of iron in the pure mineral, 48.21 By observing the chemical formulas of the aforementioned minerals, some of which represent only one variety of what is really a group, it will be seen that they compromise silicates, sulphates, oxides and carbonates of the metals. The silicates, which are compounds of metals with silicic acid (oxide of silica) form the bulk of the minerals which make up the massive rocks constituting the outer shell of the earth, and upon which the sedimentary formations rest, and also of the erupted volcanic rocks. Mingled with the silicates are smaller amounts of oxides, chiefly those of iron and silica. These minerals are for the most part anhydrous, that is, devoid of combined water. The carbonates and hydrated oxides and the sulphates are chiefly in the relatively thin films which the sedimentary rocks form on the surface of the globe. J. R. AUSTIN, 2816-18 Jefferson Ave. Tacoma, Wash. Republic" and to "The World Tomorrow," by Mr. Bruce who has an Argus eye, I was unable to secure the "World Tomorrow" but I have secured a copy of the "New Republic." It has an interesting editorial on "Moving Toward Race War." The "New Republic with The Nation" and The Freeman is a high bro magazine circulating among what is called the intellectual circles, and this is what it says in the course of the editorial: The Negroes are coming into a sense of solidarity, so it is declared by witnesses from all over the country, equally by "those who deplore the fact and by those who rejoice in it. They are coming into a spirit of collective self-defence, often a truculent spirit. It is asserted by Southerners that the war is responsible for this spirit, and there is much to be said for this view. The Negroes who faced the German guns and were first class when it came to stopping German bullets might easily become centres of disaffection with a civil status rang-in from disfranchisement to death at the stake. But war or no war, it was probably bound to come. The servile acceptance of kindness or outrage at the hands of the white man could not survive slavery by many generations. Whatever its origin, the spirit of collective resistance is abroad in the Negro population. And that spirit presents a grave challenge to Americans. Small we go on about our other affairs as heretofore declaring complacently that the race problem is one that can never be solved? Or shall we address ourselves seriously to finding a modus vivendi under which the Negro will be assured of his ordinary rights as a man? Mob law and peonage, as very intelligent person now recognizs, a can be maintained only at the cost of increasing race bitterness, breaking out sporadically in manifestations of race war. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has impressed the world with three things. It has taught the Negro that he is a man the same as other men—that what other men have accomplished he can accomplish. For the first time in history it has brought about a solidarity of the Negro race as the Irish, Italians, Jews and Japanese are consolidated. An' then again, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has done something else. Dr. Eason has told you that the old preaching was wrong in that it taught the Negro he could live on earth and board in heaven. Negro Race Movements. I have made a careful study of the agitation movements. When I was 21 seconded the nomination of A.P. Peeker when he ran for Alderman in New Haven.

Dept. 374. 461 Eighth Avenue, New York COLLEGE beria, Marcus Garve, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association endeavored to give the Negro that financial strength—that commercial expenancy by which he could maintain his demands for rights. It is hard to assume an attitude of defiance when you have got to shake your fist at a man one day and go back next day and bag him for a job. Just as a man can harpion a whale, ultimately catching him as long as he has that harpion, so when your bread and butter is dependent upon another race you are at that race's mercy; and it is because the Hon. Marcus Garve conceived the possibilities of a steamship line: conceived the commercial development a. Liberia and other parts of Africa that he endeavored to get the Negro that intellectual and financial strength and mastersy. My attention was called last week to a Gold Coast magazine and that magazine stated that the natives were looking for the Phyllis Wheatley whereby they could buy goods from America instead of from England. That is why some races rise in the scale of civilization and become powerful, while others remain low. The races that rise are dominated by initiative, audacity, by a ventureome spirit. The races who wait and fold their hands and pray to heaven and expect other races to lift them from the depths to the summit, never get there; but the men and races who take off their coats, pull off their collars and necktie, roll up their sleeves and hustle, those are the races who get there (Cheer.)

These "Battler" who criticize Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association do not realize that if the Universal Negro Improvement Association goes down, the prestige of the Negro race will be affected. Why does not the Grassman Magazine say that "waste of the temporary success of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the American Negroes have shown powers of organization on a big scale?" We want to change that word from "temporary" success to "permanent" success. Little do you know that in these meetings in Liberty Hall and the influence which has radiated from them throughout the world we have made history for the race. Nothing to me has shown more vitality than the part of the New York local than the fact that Sunday night after Sunday night, though the leader is away, interest has continued, and I believe when the Hon. Marcus Garvey returns and finds that the spirit and the morals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have kept up in his absence, he will be convinced that he has launched a permanent movement that will roll on and on, inspiring and quickening the Negroes from one end of the earth to the other.

NEW GARDEN, NEW YORK POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE TO CHARLES H. D. ESTE TO CHARLES H. B. ESTE O African son, thou bard of royal rires. With heart all overflowing that wouldst sing! Sail from the realm that other poet's haunt— Smite Egypt's lyre and let its echoes ring! The it be distant, strike some melody. Some note, how ever discordant it may be. Of some divine and ancient symphony That charmed thy sires in Ethiopia. O do not let those who enslaved thy sire. Bind shackles unto thy God-given soul. Formake their ports however fair they be. Seek out thine own imagination's goal. Gaze at the lotus that the Nile hath nursed. Until it yields the story which it hints. The tale it tells to mankind shall be new. Arrayed in Egypt's rarest hues and tints. Steal in the past and nurse emotions there— And thou canst speak as nobly as the best; For Menelik's blood filters through thy veins To wake and warm thoughts lofty in thy breast. O launch with me on fancy's ample sea— To unexplored isles let us sail away. And when the shore's last light is growing dim. Some fairer star, perchance, may lend its ray. O African son of sires that happy dwelt By Eden's garden, look into thy heart. And rescue there some fair and pristess pearl Of thought from Ethiopia's rare mart!

He proved he was a soldier, by his loyal deeds in France. And will master any task that's put to him, if they just give him a chance. He proved he was a warrior for he saved the flag from harm. Of course history tells us and the world, that we are free. The we've ceased to serve the masters, BUT, where is our liberty? For they measure out our distance, telling us how far to go. And discriminate, and segregate, and run care called "Jim Crow." Now if they call that liberty in this land of free, and brave, It must be HELL in other lands where they claim to still have slaves. They brought us here from Africa, when labor was slack. But now they seem to hate us, why don't they see to dirty here, still I can not tell what he And will only recognize us when they need us for a war They smile upon our women, for they look good to them. But, if in return, we do the same, they swing us to a limb. They brought us here and made us slaves, they sold our kin for gold. Because they owned their bodies, but they didn't own their souls. Tea they steal us from our own country, it was against our will. And in return for good we do, they shoot, burn, hang or kill. We fight and breed for this country, and we feel the bullet's pain. We're victorious in every battle, but what credit do we gain? So get ready, Sons of Africa, tho' your hearts are wring with pain. They stole us from the land of wealth, but we're going back again. We must make ourselves a nation, then we can sing our nation's song. And can tell the whole creation, WE the BLACKB, are four hundred million strong ROBERT ERNEST. A PROPHESY TO ETHIOPIA Oh, say do you know that the day shall arrive As sure as the sun shines in yonder's clear sky. Ethiopia shall reign supreme, free from disgain! Her leader and guide through the conflict shall be Jehovah! who died that all men should be free. She is free now from bondage and irons that bind. With alacrity she has made use of her time; She for knowledge has sought, large estates has she bought. Though in the snare of oppression has oftimes been caught. The name of her leader and council is yet, Jehovah! Who never His children forget. Oft hung from the trees while the pale moon shines. Oft burned at the stake for another man's crime. But, her blood is avenged, for every one ten times ten By earthquakes, by seas, by were made by men. Have been wiped out of existence and who holds the rod? Jehovah! and who stops the power of God? Rachel, weep on; we will not chide though you weep. Through the courts of God's grace soon your proud sons shall sweep; And your children below, who have loved you so. Will press on to the goal and none can say no! Their leader and guide through the conflict shall be Jehovah! who died that all men should be free. — Anna E. Shields. Cambridge, Mass. A NEW DRIVE A new drive for Africa's freedom. Oh hear the ringing call. Join in our ranks and firmly say Africa shall be free. I am ready, firm and strong. A test to prove at bugle sound; Our leader then shall bravely about Africa shall be free. Ready, then, my brother be. Why not come along with me? Fail in ranks and strong to say, Africa shall be free. Marcus Garvey sends the call, It's for one and all. It's the season of the time. Africa shall be free. Well, are you ready for the fight? Gird up your loins and stand alert, Come along and do your part. Africa shall be free. Say, brother, why stand so loft, Ready should be your earnest step.

We made hay when the sun shone and when the rains came it got wet for no preparation was made to secure it. But as business is just being started we will not sleep anymore, but try and keep our eyes open for the coming foe. From the month of November past till the month dated, we have had no trade for our products and no other work of any kind was done for us to protect funds. We were in dire dilemma, but, thank God, He has again opened up our way and we pledge to use it to our very best advantage, especially the one He has so nobly prepared you for. We pray His spirit may ever lead and guide you until God and man shall call your blessed for the work you have done. We feel ourselves proud to be your subjects and long for the time when we shall be to your command, fearing our dread.

BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN Negroes in the United States of North America are really, as is alleged by some of our writers and speakers, full fledged citizens of this country. What's all this hub bub we hear from various racial organizations demanding equal rights and a square deal? And why are these organizations necessary, if our writers and orators are correct in saying that we are, really sure enough honest to goodness American citizens? I fear we people of African descent in the U. B. A. attach too much importance to the word citizen, and understand too little what it really connotes. In an able and scholarly article in the old Anglo-African Magazine, published in this city in the fiftees by Thor. Hamilton, a Negro, who it is said claimed blood relationship to Alexander Hamilton, Washington's first Secretary of the Treasury, who was himself said to have a strain of Negro blood (though his biographers have all of them dexterously evaded the issue says: "The Roman citizen had two classes of rights, the private right, the quiritum, and the public rights, jus civitatis. As none of these rights could be exercised by any but Roman citizens, the possession of any or all of them constituted citizenship on the part of the individual holding them, and once a Roman citizen, the individual could not by any process be deprived of citizenship against his own will." In the 22d Chapter of Acts, 25, 26, 27 verses, we read: "And they bound him (Paul) with thongs, and he said unto the Centurian that stood by: 'Is it lawful for you to accourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?' And when the Centurian heard that he went and told the Chief Captain, saying, 'Take head what thou doest, for this man is a Roman.' Then the Chief Captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman.' He said, 'you.' Then the Chief Captain said, with a great sum, obtained I this freedom.' And Paul said, 'But I was born free.' Under the Roman law, if the rights of a citizen were taken from any one by way of punishment, or for any other cause, some action always took place. Thus when citizens were banished they did not expel them by force, but their goods were confiscated and themselves were forbidden the use of fire and water (its igne et ague interdium et) which allowed them to repair to some foreign place. Continuing, Dr. Smith says: "The Just Quirium or private rights of Roman citizens were (1) Jus Liberatatin—the right of liberty; (2) Jus Ginatilis et Familiae—the right of family; (3) Jus Connubi, the right of marriage; (4) Jus Patrium, the right of a father; (5) Jus Domini Legetimi, the right of legal property; (6) Jus Testamenti et Haereditatis, the right of making a will and succeeding to an inheritance; Jus Tutulae, the right of Tutulage or warship." The rights of a Roman citizen as we have here clearly seen were clearly defined, and could not be invaded nor invalidated, except for infractions real or imaginary, of the law of the land, when punishment followed by banishment, through the operation of unwritten law which deprived the citizen of his goods, and the benefits of public utilities, fire and water. The citizens of Rome were secure in their right of franchise. Their title of citizenship was at least respected by neighboring nations, and it meant something when a Roman proclaimed himself to be a citizen of Rome. When the Apostle Paul, as we have seen was in imminent danger of harsh punishment and rough treatment at the hands of his accusers, his simple question, "Is it lawful for you to accuse a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?" had a magical effect on his failure, and they evinced a wholesome fear of the consequences, if they should persist in carrying out their original intentions. Rome at that period was the mistress of the world, and her power radiated into every habitable quarter of the then civilized world. She protected her citizens from wrong and injustice. The mere mention of her name was a sufficient guarantee of protection to her citizens in any part of the world. A nation that would thus protect its citizens abroad could do no other than to protect them at home. But Rome's example in these respects are only partially followed by the Great Republic of the West, which protects some of its citizens in foreign land, and does not protect all of its citizens at home, whose natural civil and constitutional rights are encroached upon by other citizens and arbitrarily nullified by force, intimidation and murder. This is the difference between Roman citizenship in the halcyon days of its power and prestige, as a conquering nation, and American citizenship which does not receive the full protection of the laws, nor a full measure of justice in the operation of the laws. No Negro in America can truthfully be said to be a full fledged citizen of this country as long as he individually, or the race to which he belongs in its collective capacity, is compelled to appeal and beg for rights, advantages, opportunities and privileges, which the Constitution clearly may in the hostage of every son of the soil. There cannot be in a free republic white beast is that—it is of the people by the people and for the people in citizenship for white men differing in scope and meaning from the, which is expressed and defined in these words: TAL, persons here of naturalized to the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, like abdication, or the United States, and the States where they build. No State shall abdicate or force any Law which shall abdicate the priginities or immortalities of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without the process of such nor deny to any State which will not abdicate the same jurisdiction, to the same it is that all citizens of this republic regardless of race or color, are to stand upon an equal plane before the law, and to share equally the burdens and the benefits which the law imposes and confuses upon all its citizens. Among these are taxation for the support of government, service in the army and navy in time of war, and the right to hold office in times of peace. Nationally, the people of a country are one people with one common destiny, one purpose, one aim. This is in effect what the framers of the Constitution in its original form practically meant when they wrote into that document the preamble to the Declaration of Independence "We the people," etc., which then included the black people of five of the American Colonies, who had voted for delegates to the Convention of 1787, which ratified and adopted the Constitution, and this was confirmed when the war amendments were later incorporated in the Constitution. When Napoleon Bonaparte was in Egypt, information was brought to him one day that robbers from the desert had murdered a poor peasant and carried off his flock. "Take three hundred horsemen and two hundred camels," said Bonaparte to an officer of his staff, "and pursue these robbers until the, are captured and the outrage is avenged." "Was the boor your cousin," inquired a Shakl, contemptuously, "that you are in such a rage at his death?" "He was more," said Bonaparte, "he was one whose protection providence had intrusted to my care." "Wonderful,' exclaimed the Shakl. "You speak like one inap red of the Almighty." The Almighty, who permits what He does not order, allowed the white man to bring the Negro from Africa to America, where he made him a slave and used his brawn and muscle to till his fields and clear the forests, to build up the waste places and incidentally the fortunes of his captors, who have prospered and fattened off his unrequited labor for generations. Becoming conscience-stricken, they gave the Negro his freedom with a legacy of ignorance and vice for his three hundred years of servitude in the Hall of Slavery. Later, their consciences stiff troubling them, they made him a citizen as we have seen, and, from that day, the gift was bestowed. They have never had the moral courage to permit him to enjoy the full benefits of this boon so dear to every freeman in all lands. No, brotheren, we are not American citizens except in name—our title is clear enough, but white America isn't courageous enough to honor it. Providence has committed us to its care, and what the future will reveal is still in the lap of the gods. We are simply sojourners, strangers and aliens in the land of our birth, but not our motherland. If any good American of color wants to find out whether his title to citizenship is as good as a white man's, let him start something. --- Governor Dorsay of Georgia is now a marked man. Any white man below the Mason and Dixon line who espouses the cause of the Negro, who cries out for justice for the Negro, who exposes and condemns the methods of the white race in the South for oppressing, robbing and killing Negroes, will be a marked man and will be socially, commercially and politically lonesome. Geo. W. Cable, Albion W. Tourgee and a score of other white men less noted have tried the experiment and have been ostracised and driven out of the South. The intolerance of the white South has made moral cowards, and is making more cowards, of thousands of white men and women who feel as kindly toward the Negro as the white people of the North used to feel toward us, but they dare not show too openly their friendship for the black race. They dare not run counter to the dominant sentiment in the South, which regards the Negro as an inferior, having no rights which white men are bound to respect. The white man in the South who would dare till the Negro the truth could not live in this country. The whole South is now organizing to teach Governor Dorsay a lesson, and when he has learned the lesson it will either have the effect of making him an unfinishing friend of the black race, with residence in some Northern State, or reconstitute what he has written of Southern streets and run for the Senate or the lower house of Congress. With his present record he is person non grata to the indurged old South. Every time a Negro commits a crime of a particularly nonsense character, and which the leading dailies delight to feature in his black letters, with suggestive comments, some of the mob, usually persons with foreign names, who are attracted to the scene (or out, "Lynch (the Negro!)." It is not about time for the New York rongmets to give the source in this BE A HAIR DRESSER Song and His Speech. We thank New York. State an opportunity to function! A bryndge in New York city might not go off as successfully as a bryndge in Georgia or Mississippi, and I don't mind advancing these world-bryndge to use the soft point, and not to yell so loudly, "Jonny the Nigger." It might be "the Nigger." --- People with hair-travers mouth that go off on short notice in all places sometimes get in bad as a consequence of their tactileness, as the case in point will show. A fashionable society dame gave a reception, and among the guests was a Mr. L. with believing that none but a friend whom he addressed was within hearing distance, said: "And they call this a reception. Why, I never saw anything so dull in my life. It is not worth the trouble of dressing for. Such an insipid affair; really I never saw anything so dull in all my life, and the rooms are so intolerably hot!" Unfortunately for Mr. L. the hostess, unobserved, was standing near and overheard him, and immediately said: "There (pointing to the ante-room) is a cooler room, and beyond it the hall, still cooler." This prompt and meaningful hint was understood and taken by the jocacious gentleman (?), who stood not upon the order of his wenting, "but went at once. "Wes to thee that spolest and thou wast not spoiled, and dearest treachery- ously and they dealt not treacheryously with thee.

After the great day of sheeting and speeches at Tulsa, Oklahoma, the press has dispersed a tear upon the ashen, murmured a few ritualistic words about her murder, and turned its back once upon the race problem. Naturally the newspapers have seen only a very small portion of the comment called forth by this affair, and yet we will enable that most of it would have been equally applicable if a mob of whites had entered the fall at Tulsa. Spread out the Negro who was accused of assault on a white girl, and lynched him peacefully, in the good old-fashioned way. In other words, we do not believe that either the press or the public has come to grips with the fact that in this country race prejudice is now manifested less and less frequently in undeclared racial persecution, and more and more often in the skirriness of racial war. It appears to us that the significance of the annual decline in the number of lynchings can not be altogether understood by anyone who falls to give some attention to the recent increase in the number and violence of race riota. For a very long time the professional friends of the Negro have habitually depressed the idea that the black man might eventually attempt to meet force with force. The Negro-man might or might not believe himself in the all-suffering patience of the colored people, but opportunists seemed to demand that he express himself in belief in order to alter the fears and fatter the pride of the South; nor to be forgotten that an appeal for the charitable treatment of a helpless and sick race is somewhat fattering to the white man who makes it, and as to the whites to whom the social address. We have even today that any white child who invites the attention of his parents to the possibility of a black murder is likely to be looked upon as if the title of recorder, eager to turn loose, hall-dre are the Negroes. We are white well aware of the fact that the mention of the possibility of resistance or retaliation on the part of the Negroes is frowned upon by some more good friends, on the grounds that the mere suggestion that such a thing is inevitable is likely to stir the whites to greater violence; and yet we can conclude how any final good can come of a demand to acknowledge that America is there in the actual presence of developments, long predicted by white men. It will not exactly clear how the battle begins at Tulsa, but what difference will it make. Whether or not the white men planning to lynch the African-American men of South, the Negroes and their historical nation, for example, that an attempt of this sort would be blight. Whether or not the African men armed and organized and would be a fight, they certainly put up a well-deceased white the clash came. The violent facts are plain enough. The only thing necessary to turn the habit- and culture persecution of the Kagro into a first-fire all fight is a disposition for the heart of the blocs to meet. There will be grave, and unquestionably this disposition, is on the increase, as the villages of Washington, Chicago, Tulsa and a multitude other American cities have become to know. We should like very much to joke the situation in the population that every time we will come out all right, and yet we had burrowing tied up to the belief that men (and women) would much as they have. The people of this country have suffered betray and violence among the people, and now at last the crop is beginning to come in. If we do not like it, we should it. It is high time we began to end the situation. A QUEER STORY BY GENERAL SHUTS General Smuts has explained at great length the reasons which impelled the South African Government to evict from a piece of common ground, with grievous loss of life, the members of a religious sect who raised themselves Israelites. They were "poor deluded natives" who refused to obey any orders except those which they believed to come straight from Jehovah. So, when hundreds of armed police went to turn them out of their homes, they refused to believe they were the emissaries of heaven and attacked them. And then, of course, the police shot them down. But what General Smuts does not appear to have explained is that there was any urgent necessity for sending the police there at all. These percular natives may have been deluded, but they seem to have been a decently behaved community, which did nobody any harm and committed no crime beyond occupying a piece of common group." Surely it was not a case for a semi-military expedition, less still for a human battle. The name of General Smuts carries respect all over the civilized world. We hope the cabled reports of his "explanation" do him considerable less than justice. But it is a queer story as it stands—London Daily News, May 21, 1921. HATTIE DIXON'S SENTENCE WILL BE COMMUTED M. Y. Branch of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People Ansays in Securing the Compound. On May 19, 1821, the N. Y. Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., held at Salem M. E. Church, had as speakers for the evening Counselors John William Smith and Robert P. Latimore, the attorneys in the case of the State against Hattie Dixon, a colored woman condemned to die in the electrio chair for the crime of murder. These attorneys appeared before the branch for the purpose of requesting the organization to make an effort to assist them in securing the commutation of this sentence to that of life imprisonment. At the conclusion of the statements made by the attorneys, the organization readily consented to take stage immediately and pass a resolution to send a committee to Albany, to petition the Governor in behalf of the condemned woman. The committee appointed consisted of the following persons:—Counsellor Clinton G. A. French, chairman; Rev. F. A. Cullen, Rev. E. W. Danisla, Rev. W. B. Lawton, Rev. W. P. Hayza, Rev. Gen. W. Simma and John E. Nail, Mr. Chan McGill, the city editor of the Chicago Defender, accompanied the committee. The above committee visited Gov. Miller on Friday, June 10, 1931, and urged him to commute the sentence to life imprisonment, particularly because of the element of doubt which existed in the case as was evidenced by one juror being against her in the first trial and the Court of Appeals confirming her conviction, by a divided court, those of the seven judges being in favor of Mrs. Dixon. The Association thanks Governor Miller for his bold stand in the interest of justice and humanity. REV. F. A. CULLEN, President, N. Y. Branch, N. A. A. C. P.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1921 And I will be only too glad to give all the publicity I can to your article. There is not much chance of that now, however, with the season ended and the play closed, but when it reopens in the fall there will be. I am hoping in the time between now and the end of the play's career to write another Negro play which I have in mind—in which case my association with Mr. Gilipin, always a pleasant one from the very start, may be continued and his "Where do I go from here?" may find a solution to his liking. He is a wonderful actor and should not go playless. Don't you think the writers among your people should be encouraged—and urged—to try and write plays for him? Something very fine for the Negro in general might evolve from such an attempt. I am glad to see you demonstrate with those of your people who find fault with the play because it does not "elevate." such folk do not realise that the only propaganda that ever strikes home is the truth about the human soul, black or white. Intentional uplift plays never amount to a damn—especially as uplift. To portray a human being, that is all that counts. And, by the way, that same criticism of "Jones" which you protest against is a very common one made by a similar class of white people about my other plays—they don't "elevate" them. So you see! There is just one thing in your article I would like to correct: I wrote the play last summer, not eight or ten years ago. Be assured that in any theatre with which I have any connection, all the usual courtesies to a dramatic critic will be extended to you. The Remedy for "Rase Riots" Up to date we have received seventeen letters from readers of the Negro World asking us what it was that we really said which gave rise to the Times article and the editorials of the World and Journal. Eleven of these writers want to know whether the Liberty League is an organized conspiracy; a few even intimated that if it were it would be a good thing. it is to be regretted that we cannot satisfy these latter; but we would like to close the question once for all by reproducing a description of the principles of the League from the New York Call (a white paper) of June 5 and by appending the Call's account of the fateful meeting at the Public Library, which, by the way, was the only truthful account in any white daily. When the utterances of the Times, World and Journal are compared with this it will be clear that the white press purposefully distorts the truth—for a reason. (From the Call of June 5.) Pursue of the League Harrison told a Call reporter yesterday that the purpose of the Liberty League of Negro-Americans is to carry on an educational and propaganda work among Negroes and also to undertake to exercise political pressure wherever possible to carry into effect certain practical measures which would abate lynching. "The league is strongly behind the program of the advanced labor movement in this country." Harrison continued. "We are using every effort to line up all colored workers in unions composed of colored workers only, which will co-operate in every possible way with the white unions when we are allowed that right. This policy is being adopted not because we consider it the best, but because it is the most helpful. We would prefer to see workers of all colors and creeds working for emancipation in one union, but the white workers of America on the whole do not yet realize the need for lining the colored worker alongside of him and treating him as his social signal. As long as that condition exists the colored man must fight for his personal betterment independently of the white trade union movement." Teaching Assessment Mr. Shirreze said that the educational effort of the organization will be no different than literally or stipulated requirements within each path. We are endeavoring to teach the --- Here Is a Job For That Five Dollar Bill in Your Pocket AMERICAN NEGRO LABOR BUY NOW!

W. H. Eason, in his cam- paign. To take the fight of the Uni- versal Negro Improvement Association of Canada, and to lay before the Cana- dians the full program of the协 合ation, as mapped out in our first convention, a washout on the railroad that prevented our reaching the Divi- sions on the Maritime Provinces; con- sequently we had to detour and took off, our tour only those Divisions from Montreal to Vancouver. The people up in Maritime Canada were more or less very disappointed, and we were the American Leader, the sec- sary of the trip, Mr. Bruce Forbes, and myself. Last December, I was ordered back to Canada, and the Divisions of Sydney and Glace Bay were specifically designed to me for campaign work that month. Glace Bay is situated on the most easterly end of the Canadian country. It is wholly a strict mining station, washed continuously by huge waves from the Northern Atlantic. Built on an endless stretch of mines which extend far out into the ocean, Glace Bay affords the stranger visitor a glowing example of the industrial and mining wealth of Eastern Canada, as well as the most alluring picturesque and scenic grandeur of outdoor beauty that characterise the Canadian Maritimes. Another is about sixteen miles to the interior from Glace Bay, together with Glace Bay, the section covered by the two adjoining towns called the "Pittsburgh of Canada," the amount of its mining prominence and steel and coal producing prevalence. Instead, from this section lies three-thirds of Canada is supplied with steel and coal from the mines of the British Empire Steel Corporation and the Dominion Coal Company. Canadians view the British Empire Steel Corporation of their country in the same light in which the American view the United States Steel Corporation. It is very interesting to see the manner in which the towns here are developed at, of these mines. It also takes a vessel and go out into the ocean, as far as the three-mile limit, your vessel will carry you over further places where men and women continue at work. If you go to Joy, a tramfar far, far into the island, as far as your tired limbs that fall will permit you to go in the streets of a day's hike, you will treat over endless stretches of mines where glamour reigns, huge locomotives and endless men, white and black, long in endless motion night and day in internal mechanism of the Canadian industrial arteries. I hiked up Mr. Gunn's Lake today, three miles out of Winnipeg, in company, with Mr. and Mrs. Grosse, and little Daly Roberts, members of the Sydney Division, and Mr. White. It was a distract shock to him when I was told that we were walking over mines stretching endures from the sea. I know, so the insulted the industry of Canada? Because the life of people, people we have, is inertially diluted us with the mines and plants. We like the life of every man and passes us here is dependent upon the industry of the two chief industries— the gold and steel. The business of the industry, the processor, the stovepan, the smelter all depend upon the one industry, the running of the mines and the steel plant. It should have some strange that politically important we the plants here are really important, because the city. CHAPTER 11. II. IV. A. Solid In the 1930s, L. A.

A. is a most sacred and serious business (the true idea indeed), and they labor with the most indefatigable determination to see the realization of their highest hopes—a free and redeemed Negroressor. Preparing for Convention. I came here last week and found the Sydney and Glace Bay Divisions making preparations for the coming convention. All their thoughts and works are now focused on the greatest of all U. N. I. A. events, the Great Convention, when brothers from far and near join hands across the world with one common God in view, one common aim in mind, one common destiny ahead, to work in peace, harmony and good-will for a common race, a common country, a common flag. HIS EXCELLENCY DR. EASON STIRS CHICAGO Our great American leader, Dr. J. W. H. Eason, spoke in the city of Chicago, Sunday, at the spacious A. M. E. Church, Park and Robby streets, where the auditorium was literally packed like sardines in a box. People were standing around the walls as with rapt attention they hung on every utterance of the eloquent speaker. At times cheers and hand clapping would rent the air, only to return to subdued sobbing and sighs, and then lifted again into an atmosphere of cacacy, thrilled with the sublimity of the hopefulness of the future as portrayed by His Excellency in language most beautiful, thoughts intensely profound, and vision bordering on divine. Then again on Monday night at the Morning Star Baptist Church, 8200 Vincennes avenue, the house was filled to its capacity and people were turned away after having taken part in a parade in conjunction with the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, who were holding a festival at the Eighth Regiment Armory. Then on Tuesday night Dr. Eason spoke at this same armory to people whom it seemed impossible to get anywhere near the meetings of the U. N. I. L. But after having heard Dr. Eason have unexpectedly they were compelled to acknowledge that they had never seen this movement in this light before and much of the prejudice of many was removed and the Chicago division given a greater prestige and impetus than ever. N. O. Wallace, the president and first assistant American leader, presided at all these meetings and presented the American leader in words befitting the occasion. The nurses, juveniles, legion band and chorus and the preparatory glass of girls to the Black Cross Nurses, all in full array, turned out to ornament and impress the occasion. RALEIGH HOLDS MON- STER MASS MEETING, DIVISION OF U. N. L. A. His Excellency Dr. J. W. N. Eason, the American Leader; Mr. Pendergast, Assistant Treasurer of the B. H. S. L.; Mr. Pearson, State Organizer, and Dr. Watkins of Charlotte were the guests of his excellency at the pity auditorium on May 12. Never in the history of its existence has Haliah been graced with, such distinguished gentlemen. Mr. M. Massenburg, president of the Raleigh Division, delivered the welcome address, followed by a solo by Mrs. Edward Allan. His Excellency Dr. J., W. H. Eason was the speaker of the evening, and in his address he told the people of Raleigh that they should support the program of the H. N. L. A. and work for the uplift of the Negro peoples of the world, and some of you in Raleigh who do not want to become members of the U. N. L. A. I. you get out and do something to help your people along; that they may have a business enterprise so that they may be able to employ the boys and girls of Raleigh. Magnus said out of the Auditorium as he wore bangles in his excellency. We, the officers and members, declare the early return of his excellency, back to Raleigh. Dr. Mason and his party left on the suburban south street for New York. M. PARKER, Secretary. Bernard R. M. J. N. K. A. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1921 Camaguey Division U. N. I. A. Unveils Charter May 29, 1921 On Sunday, May 19, we celebrated the unveiling of our charter at Vella Vista, No. 1 Camaguer, De Cuba. Despite the toes of our mighty race, the ceremony was performed in a blaze of glory. Our Liberty Hall was packed to its utmost. The singing of the hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," opened the meeting, followed by the reading of prayer from our constitution by our president. Mr. E. Blackwood, vice-president of the division, was then introduced as chairman who, on arising, was immensely cheered. He then thanked the president and enthusiastically lectured the audience. He explained the meaning of the charter colossally. In reference, he said, our charter is to us what a compass is to a ship, and that we must be guided thereby. He showed its indispensability by illustrating that a ship without a chart would be in danger of losing its course, and so would our association be without a charter. In conclusion he said since he has been privileged and honored to such an extent I hope sincerely that we use it to the best of our ability. His address came to a close amidst great applause. The hymn, "A Charge to Keep I have," was next sung. The anthem, "I Have Set Watchmen," by choir under the supervision of the lady president, on account of the illness of our choir mastar, Mr. Denton Burke, was nicely rendered. The scenery was beautiful on account of the importance of the Black Cross Nurses, who turned out in uniform under their noble leader, the lady president, Mrs. Emma Parkinson. An address was given by Miss M. J. Sutherland, the topic of which was "Negro, Save Thyself." She did seem to have pushed something into our hearts which was answered by tremendous cheers and applause as she spoke with eloquence, outlining how the Negro must have his place in the sun, and the redemption of Africa. A solo was rendered by the chairman, "Come Into the Fold." At this juncture Mr. Emmanuel W. Harry addressed the audience, his theme being "The Negro Must Be a Conquering Chief if He Wants to Redeem Africa." He in a most brilliant way showed what the Negroes had done for themselves in the past three years, and their possibilities. At the conclusion he said, "God save the honorable and Horcultan leader of our race. Long may he live to fight for us." Our databased anthem was being sung when the Masters Donald and William Hinds, sons of our trustee, Mr. Donald Hinds, lifted the wall from the charter, making it visible to all. The money for furnishing the frame of the chartar was given by Mr. Fred Tyson, a member of the division. The amount being $10. The workmanship was done by Mr. Arthur Lewis, Committee of Management, and Mr. James Ramsey, president. The veil was made by Miss Mary Sutherland. Black Cross Nurses, which was composed of our colors, red, black and green. The frame was made of odor bearing the inscription, "One God, One Alm, One Destiny," in gold letters. Our president, Mr. James Ramsey, was the next speaker. He delivered an address in words easily understood. In reference to the unveiling of our charter he said that it was a special occasion and that the brightness of our ceremony would be seen by the Negroes of the universe. He prayed God that the Hon. Marcus Garvey should also be the Joshua of our race and not only be the Moses. He likened the work of the U. N. L. A. to that of Noah preaching to The World's Famous In Have Found the Woman and men, the time has to the scalp that grow hair on pal- hair vigorous and prevents its fall your scalp treated.

SYDNEY DIVISION OPENS "NIGHT SCHOOL" The members and friends of the Sydney Division of the U. N. I. and A. C. L. have met together and opened up a night school under the supervision of our Hon. Deputy G. D. Creese. The aims and objects of which are to instruct and teach those who come under its influence, and so recall to memory the youthful days spent at school when we were boys and girls, and which have somewhat remained dormant since coming to this dull country of "work" "work" "work." Some of the principal subjects taught are public speaking, arithmetic in its various forms, from the simpler methods to the most complicated, grammar and shorthand. It lends one a spirit of encouragement to see the wonderful and enthusiastic manner in which the pupils have taken and are mastering these subjects, and we have no doubt but that are long, under the careful supervision and tuition of the teacher. Messra. G. D. Greese, P. A. Barrow, J. Sergeant, A. S. Trotman, I. Phillis and A.

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 seams cold. But since we can't talk it over face to face, just sit right down, read this over carefully and imagine that we are talking to you face to face. THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION As you perhaps already know, is organized to build, own and operate factories all over these United States, the West Indies, Central and South America in the interest of Negroes for Negroes and to be 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 mental jobs. Of course, you understand that there is no disgrace in any kind of work—but there will be positions for clerks, stenographers, managers, superintendents and so on. will be available when we have all put our shoulders to the wheel and put up these factories. There's where you can help. When we say "Let's Go" we mean let's all 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—manglars, pressera, ironers, etc., turning out plenty of work for Negroes. Then if you could take a walk around the corner to Lenox Ava, 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 trimmings, etc.—all of them colored—from the forelady to the arrand girl. These two concerns are owned and onagrated 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 drive. But since you too have vision and are ambitious we know that you have already visualized them. is the prospect of our ambition. It is our birthright. It proves our worth and our position. It is the test of our greatness. To all those with pride in progress it is a compelling force. BE AMBITIOUS FOR YOURSELF—FOR YOUR RACE The building of nations the cultivation and unification of racial means the advancement of a race or nation, the increase of economic and industrial effectiveness, all these come in answer to the call of ambition. Help yourself and your race. Look every man straight in the eye. Stand over in your manhood and womanhood. Purchase shares in the Negro Factory Corporation—make a future for your children and your children's children. Use the blank 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.

VOICE DETROIT DIVISION The usual Sunday meeting of the Detroit Division for June 18 was opened by the chaplain, Rev. Button. The choir beautifully chanted "Not By Might Not By Power." Address by the vice-president, C. J. Crooms, a reading by Mrs. J. C. Tibbe, succeeded by a short talk by Mrs. Barnett, followed by a solo by Miss M. Prayley, followed by an address by Rev J. W. Wood. A very splendid address by Mr. U. S. Poston gave vigor and spirit to the moment. An excerpt of Mr. Poston's address will show the quality of his mind reasoning: "When I come here and associate with you I do it free of restraint. I have associated with colored preachers who tried to tell me about the beauty of the Bible, but when I look deep down in the signs of time I see an unrest. it is a desire to be freed. We are in the world and we are a people, and we should prepare ourselves. If we fail to keep up and fall others will trample on us. Our race has suffered through our leaders who sold out. We have been living on charity, and charity makes a coward out of a man. When we shall have carried out the program of the U. N. I. A. it shall be absolute and definite. The program of the U. N. I. A. is the program of the people not for any clique or class of men." The above shows the dignity of practical reasoning generally conceived by the associate editor of the Detroit Contender, Mr. U. S. Poston. The last on the program was an address by Rev G. L. Brown, a very heated personality. In the opinion of the writer the Rev. Brown is really appealing. He said in part: "I get along well in the North, but I am not satisfied." How can I hold my peace, said Ester, when my people are at stake? Nebuchadnei bowed his head before the king Because his people were unhappy. How can I be happy when my people are at stake? The most important committee of the division is the Entertainment Committee. This committee is doing a good work and ought to be given proper consideration. Tuesday, June 14, a grand tacky party was rendered in the hall. It was very amusing and everybody was satisfied with the result. A price of $3 was given to the person dressed the most tacky. There were also second and third prices of $1 and $9 cents, respectively. The first price was won by Mrs. H. N. Swarn, the second by Miss E. Miller and the third by Mr. George Taylor. J N L. MR. V.

Brooks, 1p reerwase to an BO. & call from Division No. $2, came to Cleveland for the parpose of leading some people out of the darkness of prejudice and Digotry into the light of understanding apd reason. There are = clause of people in Cleveland who profess their igoorance of the Garvey movement. Dr Brooks bas that rare gift of turn- ing sadness into gladness, darkness into sunshine, and bate into love. 6o it was not to be wondered at, when these people asked to have some one from the parent body explain to them the Garvey movement, that the Cleve- land division called for Dr. Brooks.

The date fixed for the meeting was Monday evening, May 8th. In spite of very inclement weather, the friends from the different divisions turned up in good time.

After the devotional exercise, conducted by the chaplain, the house groom to elect a chairman for the occasion. It was moved and seconded that mr. John Bernard, the secretary of the Colloq de Aliva Division, he elected Chairman, which was unanimously accepted. the chairman in taking his seat was vividly cheered. He told the friends present that he thanked them for the honor conferred on him in electing him chairman for the evening. He said that we had met together on a very important occasion in connection with our glorious U. N. I. A. here; we are here for the purpose of electing a representative to the convention. The candidates for election were then called out by name: Mr. Fred White, president of Florida Division, for Florida; Mr. K. A. Cunningham, vice-president of the Cespedes Division, for Cespedes; Mr. J. Bancroft, secretary of the Mcron Division, for Moron; Mr. A. O. Christie, president of the Cejo de Avila Division, for Cejo de Avila. Mr. White, of Florida, was asked by the chairman to talk in fifteen minutes what he thinks the greatest need of the U. N. I. A. The speaker very warmly put through his task within the allotted time and gave room to the second speaker, Mr. J. B. Bancroft of Moron. Mr. Duff made a very impressive speech. His style was clear, elegant, persuasive, breathing a spirit of loyalty to the work for which he was selected by his division. He sat down amid great applause. Mr. R. A. Cunningham was next called on to contend for election honors. He showed that personal and collective unity is the greatest need of the U. N. R. A. today, and to the extent that that I achieved among the race to that extent the U. N. R. A. as a racial movement will succeed. He was listened to with wretched attention, and when he fell for speaking one could clearly see that a favorable impression was made. The last of the four speakers for representative choice was Mr. A. O. Chirleau of Ciego de Avila Mr. Christie gave the impression that if he were closed he would be a faithful representative. He closed amid cheer. The trial speeches being over, the chairman proceeded to take the votes by a show of hands. Some of the members present thought it would be better to vote secretly, but the chairman ruled to have open vote, and being headed by the majority, the open votes were taken, and resulted in the victory for Mr. R. A. Cunningham, the Caspede man, who was according elected for convention. The delegate-elect, after having been congratulated by the chairman, thanked the members very much for the confidence imposed in and the honor conferred on him, and promised, if he be permitted to go to convention, to do his very best to discharge faithfully the duties of his office. He urged to be granted a substitute in lieu of the last he may be found unable to go. Mr. A. O. Christia, one of the constituents for election honors, was implicated as his substitute. The following persons, partly by way of compartment and partly by way of a charge relative to his duty, addressed the delegate, Mrs. R. G. Russell, Fred White, president of the Florida division; Fred A. Ollivia, president of the Moreno division; A. O. Christie, president, and Osborne, president of the Ciego de Avila Division; James Boyne, Mrs. Barrowes, Black Nurses nurses of the Moreno Division, and Mr. Stewart, vice-president for the Ciego de Avila Division. A suitable amount for defraying expenses of the delegate to convention was now voted and agreed to. The home president, Mrs. H. J. Williamson, made a few sitting remarks, and the chairman asked the house to add and sign "Stand Up, Stand Up and Jeans," after which Mr. Osborne, the Charge, de Arvie chaplain, closed with the headstilt. All friends present expressed attentions with the whole proceeding, and the adding and at having a chance to be represented in the coming conven- D. A. NICHOLSON, Secretary Chapelers Dr. U. N. L. A.

The Atlantic City division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League held a mass meeting at Asbury M. E Church. The meeting was called to order by the president, who, after a few remarks, introduced to the audience Mr. Boom, first vice-president of the local. Mr. Boom made a few stirring remarks, which were well applauded. The president then introduced to the audience the principal speaker of the evening, the Hon. Dr. J. D. Gibson, surgeon-general to Liberia. The doctor in opening paid a glowing tribute to Atlantic City. The speaker took for his subject, "America, the White Man's Country." He illustrated to the audience the conditions which caused the Pilgrims to leave Europe, their sufferings before and after they landed at Plymouth Rock. The various diseases of which they died and the bitter attacks from either side, but those men said, "Let us have liberty or let us die," said the speaker. Dr. Gibson brought before his hearers as plain as a sign in electric lights that insinuum as the Negro has done so much in the building up of this great republic, yet he cannot resist when the white man says it's "my country," because he suffered, he found it, he bought and paid the price for the Negro, and so you had to work. If I buy a horse I expect him to work. This was just the case with the Negro, continued the speaker. Now, since all other countries are white men's countries, we also must be plonsers, as the Pilgrims were, and build up our motherland, Africa; for, even as these men met in conference day after day asking the question, What must be done? we also are meeting in conference through the U. N. I. A. and asking the question, What must be done? Just as these men said, even so is the new Negro saying, "Give us liberty or let us die." (Continued applause.) Dr. Gibson is a plain-spoken man. He certainly held a conference instead of a mass meeting. And, as Rev. Martin said, he tells real, hard facts and nothing but solid facts. No mas will open up for us, said the doctor. Moses and the children of Israel crossed on dry land, but we can cross only by ships. He impressed upon the audience that the white men were not against this movement, but the dirty Negro who is living off the fat of the land is. There was an uproar of laughter when he insisted that the Phyllis Wheale, as is joos of Baltic avenue. There was deafening applause when he said that Dr. Jason is coming to make a membership drive. UBRIC MARSHALL 627 Royal Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J. ST. THOMAS DIVISION OF U. N. L A. STAGES DANCE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR BENEFIT OF DELEGATES TO COMING CONVENTION On Monday night, May 30, the St. Thomas division of the U. N. I. A. held a dance in their hall, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. At 8:50 p. m. members and friends began to pour into the spacious hall until one behold a most striking, yet beautiful contrast, made so by the various colors of the different dresses worn by the ladies which, added to the decoration of the hall, reflected splendor. At 9 p. m. precisely, the hand entered, by the renowned Violinist Baxile, and at 9:18 the gay throng was dancing to the stains of a beautiful waft. Dancing continued until 10:18, when refreshments were served. At 10:30 Brother Morrill (Reporter) was then called to deliver an address of welcome. On mounting the platform the speaker答应ed silence, whereupon he began as follows:—To members and friends, greetings—In the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and African Communities Leagua, I bid you welcome to this our first venture of a public entertainment in the form of a dance. This dance, be it understood, is a social one. It is incumbent on us members to do all we can in order to make happy those who for the first time have found themselves in our midst. To your friends I beg to say that, although you may be made to feel happy by us in these few hours you spend here, the fullness of your happiness is not yet; the completion thereof is within the fold of the U. N. L. A., and A. C. L.; therefore do I appeal to you for your own safety and interest to co-operate with us by joining the world's greatest association, and help to win out for liberty, truth and justice. Dancing was resumed and continued until 12:25, when the general secretary gave utterance in the manner following: — Fellow members and friends; it gives me great pleasure to have you in our midst tonight; we are here in a social gathering to enjoy ourselves, and I do hope the gathering will include me a social can. I would like it to be distinctly understood that the constitution of the U. N. L. A. gives us the right to keep each socialist; if you look on the wall you will see our motto, One God. One Aim. BLACK STAR LINE, ING. NOTICE THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1921 One Destiny, our foremost aim is therefore, to get together those of our race and form ourselves into, as it were, a solid concrete mass. This dance, the speaker said, was staged by the 83 vice-president and a few other members for the purpose of raising funds to assist in destroying in part the expenses of our delegate to the coming convention. Then followed a solo by Sister Irene Horton, entitled "Out on the Streets," which was beautifully rendered from a clear and steady voice. After this cake and refreshments were served; during said recess a recitation was rendered by Sister Laurencia Williams entitled "Knocking the Garvey Movement." At 1.30 dancing was resumed and in spite of the sultry weather everybody seemed happy and gay until at 2.30 the president, amid silence and attention, mounted the platform and delivered his address, which reads: "Very often I suppose you have heard of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League and the Black Star Line. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a government within a government, wherever the Red, Black and Green floats to the breeze. We did not hollist the white man to bring us from our country, therefore now that the time is at hand, which the Good Book stands to prove that Princes shall come out of Egypt and that Ethiopia shall soon stretch, forth har hand unto God, it behooves us at this very time to know ourselves. If the Negroes the world over would but understand the doctrine of the U. N. L. A. they would then realize their duty, which duty is to unify themselves with the scattered numbers of their race and form one solid mass of four hundred million strong. To conclude," the president said, "with this I say that in the very near future the only flag to succor the Negro will be the Red, Black and Green." Thereafter dancing, and the serving of refreshment and cake continued vice versa, until the hour of 4 a.m. when everybody dispersed, and wending their way homeward chatted as they went of the good time they spent at Liberty Hall. JOSEPH A. MORRILL, Official Reporter, U. N. I. A. St Thomas Division, No. 84. THE NEED OF THE HOUR (By ROGERs) The arrival of the pioneer scientific delegation of colored men from New York at Monrovia, Liberia, should, and will be, a stimulus for other colored experts to pack their grips and hurry on to the "promised land", they should go from Tuskegee and Hampton, and colored men who understand the cotton raising business should embark for Sunny Africa. Great hope and a great future is visible. Men who understand cotton ginning should go and build gins and mills of all descriptions. Join the U, N, L A everywhere and become imbued with the new birth of freedom. In every Negro school, church and home there should be books, papers and literature pertaining to and giving information of Negro history and art and science. Stop teaching your children that the ideal is white—that God and the Savior are white—teaching them that "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap;" that, as a man thinketh, so is he;" that salvation comes from within, not from without; that we are the custodians of our own destiny, not some one else; that black is noble, sublime, eternal, that prayer is as prayer does.

McKenzie, President TINKHAM EAGER FOR CUT IN SOUTH'S REPRESENTATION IN HOUSE AND ELECTORAL COLLEGE Congress to Investigate Enforcement of Fourteenth Amendment to Constitution WASHINGTON. June 13.—Determination to bring about a decrease in the representation of Southern States in the House of Representatives and Electoral College on account of what he charged was disfranchisement there of Negroes, was expressed tonight in an announcement by Representative Tinkham, Republican, Massachusetts, that tomorrow he would introduce a resolution for an investigation of the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment in the South. Mr. Tinkham already has petitioned for a conference of Republican members of the House for discussion of voting conditions in the South and it is expected to be held Thursday night. Defeated during the last session, and thus far this session, in his attempts to force an issue on Southern representation, Mr. Tinkham said his new resolution would be drawn in conformity with the opinion of the House Census Committee that specific instances of disfranchisement must be cited before a congressional investigation can be undertaken. The Massachusetts member an- edge, not theory. We must work out our own salvation. The Klu Klux Klan has arrived in Springfield, Ill., according to an advertisement recently appearing in a local daily paper here. Do not be dismayed, however, but be ready with the suitable medicine for their aliment. Let colored people consider thoroughly the merits of the U.

The white people believe the Negroes are awakening to self and racial consciousness and are more willing to condemn such atrocities as occurred in Oklahoma. The good people see the A.

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

He declared it was "unacceptable to proof that in some of the eleven States the laws in relation to registration and to the counting of ballots and otherwise were so unfairly and with su partisan partiality administered in ar prior to the congressional elections of 1920 as designed disfranchise persons constitutionally qualified to become elector." The resolution, Mr. Tinkham announced, also will contain a charge that in all of the eleven States cited there were in 1930 many thousands of male and female citizens more than 21 years of age, who did own forty acres of land or possess a certain amount of property, who had not paid taxes or poll taxes, and who could not read or write or understand and interpret the Constitution as required by various State laws and constitutions." Requirements of the States on voters will be set forth in the resolution, according to Mr. Tinkham.
