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. X.

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.

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.

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.

PRESIDENT HARDING ON NEGRO EDUCATION PRESIDENT Harding laid special emphasis upon education in his address at Lincoln University. He said: "Much is said about the problem of the races, but let me tell you that there is nothing that government can do that is akin to educational work. . . . The colored race, to come into its own, must do the great work itself in preparing for that participation. Nothing will accomplish so much as educational preparation." EDUCATIONAL quarter of a century a g t kind of an education th s and friends thought tha During the past quarter of a century a great deal of dissension has hinged upon what kind of an education the Negro needs. Some of the Negro's leaders and friends thought that he needed a different kind of education from what other men required. Other Negro leaders thought that he only needs the three "rs," plus mother wilt and common sense. And it is a hopeful sign that President Harding recognizes the need of educational preparation for participation in national life. One of the shortcomings of that literary masterpiece, "The Souls of Black Folks," is that it was written as if the American Negro were the only being who ever groaned under the yoke of oppression. Before the days when the Pharaohs were hard taskmasters to the Jews, before the days when the Babylonians were cruel overlords, before the days when Hammurabi wrote his celebrated code of laws, before the days when Rameses II rode forth to battle, the strong have oppressed the weak. And it will be well for the Negro to inquire as to the methods by which other oppressed peoples have endeavored to rise. Take the Irish and Jews, for instance. In their battle for civic and political recognition, the Irish produced six parliamentary leaders who could measure up intellectually with England's most powerful statesmen. They were Edmund Burke, Fox, Sheridan, Daniel O'Connell, Farnell and John Redmond. And if the American-Negro is to be a real factor instead of a pawn or shuttlecock in American politics, he must produce leaders who can intellectually measure arms with Ellin Root, William Howard Taft, Charles Evans Hughes, Philander Knox and Henry Cabot Lodge. The New Negro needs as his political representatives more men with the intellectual equipment of R. Brown Elliott, who in a two-hour speech on the floors of Congress annihilated Alexander Stephens, the former Vice-President of the Confederacy. For half an hour after that speech his friends and fellow Congressmen gathered around him and congratulated him. The Associated Press heralded the speech far and wide. The Jewish race has gained prestige and standing not only through producing bankers and brokers, but through producing statesmen like Disraeli and Lord Reading, philosopher like Spinoza and Bergson, and mathematicians like Einstein. We recall that Rabbi Fischer of Boston became so proficient in Belles Lettres that he was elected president of the Boston Browning Society. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York, by his intellectual and moral ascendancy, has made his influence felt in America's metropolis. And the American Negro riceds more religious leaders like Rev. Alexander Grimmell, who could grace with dignity the most famous Caucasian philosopher of England or America, or like Bishop Samuel Adjai Crowdine, who is distinguished himself as a scholar that he received the H.D. degree from Oxford University. We cannot state, what we think more effectively than we stated from pages 175-177 of the first volume of "The African Abroad." We said then: "A man must read books and study books and master that principles before he can become creative, constructive and natural. Rafaon an architect could design the Congressional Library on the skycrapers of New York, before a shipbuilder could build the mountains, before a bridge builder could build the Brooklyn Bridge. No engineer could drive the underground tube under the East River, he must read and study books and master mathematical, mechanical and architectural principles which underlie the building of the British bridges and tunnels. They need not servilely imitate their contemporaries, but can work along original dises, for they have mastered the principles of construction. Now if the Negro is to become a creative and construction instead of an initiative individual, he must read and study books and master basal and fundamental skills which are universal in their application. ventor of the art of writing made it possible for man to record his fleeting thoughts and emotions, to preserve the experience and knowledge that he has acquired in his lifetime and to pass it on and transmit it to posterity. Books are the storehouse of human experience, human wisdom and human knowledge. Without books, the steps of human progress would be lost and each generation would have to begin all over again. The world is startled with the discoveries of a Newton, a Harvey, a Metchnikoff, a Darwin, a Rottenen and a Marconi, and with the aerial feats of Curtiss, the Wrights and Grahame-White. But their discoveries and exploits are the last link in a chain of causes which has stretched through centuries. Osborn in his book, "From the Greeks to Darwin," has shown Darwin's indebtedness to his predecessors. Then take Marconi's wireless telegraphy. Clerk Maxwell proved that electric waves exist; Hertz discovered electric waves. Then other men invented the ball oscillator, the coherer and the decoherer, whereby electric waves were transmitted through space, received and the connection broken off. (Morse invented the alphabetical code) Some one conceived the idea of utilizing the Morse alphabet in wireless telegraphy. Another man conceived the idea of similarly tuned instruments. Then Marconi came along, utilized the knowledge of his forerunners and sent his message. A dozen steps and stages intervened between Fulton's steamer and the Lusatania; between the rude huts of the cave-dwellers and the skyscrapers of New York; between the chariots of Homer's Illiad and the record-breaking automobile. Thus it has been. Man progresses by possessing himself of the knowledge, wisdom and experience of his ancestors and predecessors and of making one or two steps beyond. And it is the mission of books to prevent the intellectual acquisitions of mankind from being lost. Books store up the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of mankind. Thus it has ever been. The dark night of the Middle Ages did not recede before the dawn of modern civilization, until after the revival of learning, the rediscovery of the Greek world and the founding of universities. So when a Negro leader speaks contemptuously of books and book-learning he is speaking contemptuously of the treasure vaults of civilization. And the man who never reads and never masters elemental and basal principles never can be a creative, constructive and original force in civilization." In our editorial last week we stated that we would discuss this week as to whether President Harding would follow the policy of McKinley, Roosevelt or Taft regarding the black man's aspirations. But the President of the United States is never clothed with the authority of a czar, except in times of war. Except he be a rugged, adamantine spirit like Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland or Theodore Roosevelt, he will be more or less influenced by his party leaders. The Republican National Committee recently met in Washington, D. C. It looks as if these leaders will permit the Southern Democrats to decide whether there shall be a Republican party south of the Mason and Dixon line. And we will postpone our final conclusions regarding President Harding's Negro policy until we know more of the attitude of his advisers. W. H. F.

It endeavors to please not any particular sect, race, creed, social, political group, but to discover and disseminate the truth. We take pleasure in republishing in The Negro World this week its editorial entitled "The Skirmish at Tulsa." The same righteous indignation at a blind and irrational race prejudice which pulsed through the "New Republic" and the "Nation" also voiced itself in the "Freeman." And in addition there was a recognition of economic rivalry between the races as a matter to be seriously considered. This was a factor that did not enter in Dr. Washington's simple solution of the race problem. Then again the article on "Emotional Determinism," by Carl Dreher, which appeared in the June 15th. issue was a psychological study worthy of Royce, James, Munsterberg and Ladd at their best. That article shows the psychological cause why men prefer to bear economic and political wrongs rather than better their condition by a changed economic system. PROF. KELLY MILLER'S NEW PAMPHLET PROF. KELLY MILLER, Dean of the Junior College of Harvard University, has sent out another pamphlet which ably sustains the reputation which his celebrated pamphlet, "As to the Leopard's Spots," gave him. This latest effort is entitled "The Choice of a Profession," and the introductory note states: "The purpose of this essay is to assist college youth in answering the query, "Where shall I take hold of the world's work?" Three Great Decisions, Vocation and Profession, Social Distinction, The Democratic Spirit, The College Man, The Money Motive, When to Make a Choice, Adolescence.

P. Samuel indicates that it is not Dr. Sa ment preacher himself who is speaking an IN an editorial in The Negro World for June 11th Rev. Dr. P. P. Samuel of Philadelphia, Pa., was mentioned among the noted men who stepped from time to eternity in the month of May. But the terse and trenchant letter which we publish on the editorial page from Rev. P. P. Samuel indicates that it is not Dr. Samuel's ghost, but the eloquent preacher himself who is speaking and that he is very much alive. Well, we are glad that Dr. Samuel still treads on terra firma as vigorous physically, as heroic in spirit and as alert mentally as ever. Quite naturally when the report spreads that a man in vigorous health is dead one would opine that some enemy had spread the report with malicious intent. But this does not seem to be the case with Dr. Samuel. A mistake was probably accidentally made in mistaking him for some one else. This is how the matter came to the attention of the editorial staff of The Negro World. One of the editors of The Negro World stepped into the sanctum of a tonsorial artist on U street, N. W., Washington, D. C., to have some hirate appendages removed. One of the gentlemen in the shop was low spirited because the report had come to him from Philadelphia that Dr. Samuel, a preacher who seemed the embodiment of physical health and vigor had passed away after a very brief illness. And as the gentleman admired Dr. Samuel's brilliant preaching and manly character, he was somewhat shocked. That is how the matter was brought to the attention of one of the editors of The Negro World. We can only say to Dr. Samuel that we wish him a long and happy life. THE NEGRO WORLD.

The Democratic and are the two great American political parties. The Democratic party traces its origin to T was first called the Anti-Federal party, then the R the Democratic Republican party in 1795, and then the 1810. The principles of the Democratic party are of the Constitution, economical government expert the powers of the national government over the relow protective tariff or a tariff for revenue only. Western States most of its members are foreign fessors who are political economists. The great strocratic party is in the Southern States of America. The Whig party grew up out of opposition to and was called the Whig party in 1834. The R formed in 1854 for the purpose of opposing the ex the territories. It was composed of Anti-slavery Anti-Nebraska Democrats, Abolitionists and Know for liberal construction of the Constitution, liberal tures, extension of the powers of the national protective tariff. It is largely composed of the wealthy class, native born Americans of America in the Northern and Western States.

CONDENCE FROM various letters we receive, some of our readers seem to misunderstand the policy of The Negro World. The Negro World is a newspaper The mission of a newspaper is to mirror passing events and give its reflections upon them. Consequently, everything that appears in The Negro World does not represent the views of Hon. Marcus Garvey, the U. N I A and the Literary Editor. The letters that we print do not always represent our views. The contemporary comments that we print do not always represent our point of view. But they are printed to let the readers of The Negro World know the state of mind of the readers of the paper and the attitude of the world at large regarding the Negro's ambitions and aspirations. The speeches and writings of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the Liberty Hall speeches, the letters and speeches of the members of the Executive Council and the editorials of The Negro World represent the point of view of the U. N I A. The Negro World endeavors to mirror passing events and at the same time interpret and throw light upon them. The editorials, rather than what correspondents and contemporary comments say, should be sought after for light and guidance and for the philosophy underlying the U. N I A. AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES. MR FILOGENES MILLAIRD of Cuba desires us to inform the foreign readers of The Negro World what the terms "Republican" and "Democrat" mean as applied to American political parties. The Democratic and Republican parties are the two great American political parties. The Democratic party traces its origin to Thomas Jefferson. It was first called the Anti-Federal party, then the Republican party, then the Democratic Republican party in 1795, and the Democratic party in 1810. The principles of the Democratic party are a strict interpretation of the Constitution, economical government expenditures, limitation of the powers of the national government over the respective States and a low protective tariff or a tariff for revenue only. In the Northern and Western States most of its members are foreigners, with a few professors who are political economists. The great stronghold of the Democratic party is in the Southern States of America. The Whig party grew up out of opposition to the Democratic party and was called the Whig party in 1834. The Republican party was formed in 1854 for the purpose of opposing the extension of slavery to the territories. It was composed of Anti-slavery Whigs, Free Soilers, Anti-Nebraska Democrats, Abolitionists and Know-nothings. It stands for liberal construction of the Constitution, liberal government expenditures, extension of the powers of the national government and high protective tariff. It is largely composed of the manufacturing and wealthy class, native born Americans of American descent and Negroes in the Northern and Western States. In the Southern States, where the Negro is disfranchised, the Republican party is very weak. CORRESPONDENCE CORRESPONDENCE like to ask you two questions: If a man bought a house, paid the purchase price of the house and negotiated a loan to remodel the house, would you call him owning the house absolute? If a man takes over a ship, puts the entire captain and crew off, puts on his own crew, transforms the boat from a cargo to a passenger boat, making any alterations and changes that he wants, insures the boat, pays the insurance on the boat, pays for all repairs on the boat, pays dockage for the boat, pays for coal on the boat, pays the crew and then sends the boat where and when he chooses, would you call that man owning the boat in his own name and right or merely chartering the boat? Then again there is some ambiguity to your phrase "an ocean-goining steamer". What do you mean by "an ocean-goining steamer?" By ocean-goining steamer, do you mean a boat that sails across the Atlantic or up and down the Atlantic? For instance, when the Yarmouth and the Kanawa, which are owned and controlled by the Black Star Line, sailed from New York to Cuba, they were always outside the three-mile limit and frequently so far out at sea that they lost sight of land completely. Would you call that an ocean-goining steamer? You may recall that seven years ago last January you sent me your pamphlet dealing with "The Curse of Canaan" You are very keen and analytical in Biblical exegesis. The philosopher Schopenhauer likened the sea to the ways of a woman, and I am inclined to believe that while you know a great deal about the Bible and have received the L. L.

FERRIS REP PLIES TO BISHOP SMITH'S CHALLENGE June 15, 1921. Right Rev C S. Smith, L.L.D. Bishop A M. E. Church. 87 E. Alexandrine Ave. Detroit, Mich. My Dear Sir—I respectfully beg leave to enclose a section of the editorial page of the current issue of the Negro World, containing an editorial relative to your generous offer to give $500 dollars to any one who could produce evidence that the Pioneers of the U. N. I actually sailed from New York and actually arrived. Monrovia. Libera. The editorial entitled, "Bishop Smith's Big Bluff" gives the facts. How do I know that these facts are true? I know they sailed from New York on Feb. 3. I know I received a letter from the Secretary of Legation from Cadiz, Spain, a month later and I know that a month later I received another letter from the Secretary of Legation in Monrovia. Now if you know any means and methods by which the distance between New York and Cadiz, Spain, and between Cadiz, Spain, and Monrovia. Libera, can be negotiated other than by bailing on some boat I would like to know them. Now I am awaiting the $600. With regard to the $1,000 challenge I have this to say. I am not a lawyer and I am not an expert in the intricacies and technicalities of legal terms. so I would like you to define that phrase "does or has owned absolute in fee simple, in its own name and right." I have been informed by a legal expert that no one can own a ship in fee simple, that only applies to real or land property. But I would THE TULSA RIOT By ROGERA SPRINGFIELD, Ill. June 16 — Colored people, can't you see the signs of the times from Tules, Okla. That horrible riot, then the burning of colored men's homes women and children made destitute, some burned to death. Horrible! Unspeakable! This, too, is America, not Belgium, not savage Africa, the officers aided and absted. The Negro returned from over seas only a few months ago, where he had gone to help make the world safe for democracy. America is sending missionaries to foreign lands to convert people over to Christianity, for what? What good is American Christianity any way? Answer. Yes, men, join the Garvey movement and every other movement that will be of help. Not one colored family in this State should fall to join so effacious a movement as the U. N. L. A.

EDITORIAL NOTES By a typographical error the population of Tulsa, Ohio, was given as 28,000 instead of 78,000, in our editorial of two weeks ago. The Conqueror, General Literary Editor Negro World. SHOT BY SOLDIERS --- --- REV. DR. P. P. SAMUEL VERY MUCH ALIVE To the Editor and Incorporators of the Negro World, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. Speaking to the ones who are responsible for the editorials or news matter published in said paper of June 11, 1921, I note in the second editorial column an emphatic and positive article declaring the death of three noted Negroes and two noted Anglo-Saxons, among which my name is mentioned with perhaps a slight orthographical error. The parties named are as follows: Bishop George E. Clinton, Cris Perry, Rov P P Samuel, of Philadelphia, Judge Ashley M. Gould, D. C., and Chief Justice E. D. White, declaring each and every one to have passed out of this life to their eternal homes. I am now speaking for myself, called in the editorial "Dr. Samuel," which is an error in name—my name being P P Samuel—but how be it, we will grant the correctness of the name for the purpose of making the argument and presenting the content. While the glorying terms of laudation or laudations in which I am characterised as being from a theological viewpoint belonging to the Militant Anglo Host rather than the Triumphant Host, and with rather a humorous characterality and rhetorical paraphrasing, put me in a kind of position or class if I was an egotistic holy seeker, I would be actuated to say that if I had known before my death that such peculiar and high words of commendation would have been mine, I would have died years ago. And granting that I am dead, according to your editorial, and giving you credit for knowing more about it than I, myself, and since I am the one who made the experiment and you did the observing, I certainly will have to how to your superiority in this your superhuman proclamation. But since I am the subject, according to your deduction, who descended to the lowest depth for rock-bottom and expanded to the uttermost breadth for comprehension and towered to the highest peak for Militancy; in view of the fact or the above facts or phenomena which plunge my friends in grief and despair and serves to do me no good, I am compelled to demand of you not only the publishing of this article as one bred and born in the objective rose, but as one absolutely demanding of you that you give me the fact of facts as to where you got your authority as to my death, the name of the person or persons who gave you the facts, who seem to know more about me and the positiveness of my death than I could know myself. And since the article in your paper is declarative, I am not asking for truth or qualification, you must be entirely responsible for its purport. And since there were not at any time in the last twenty years anything about me or my health that would give the slightest justification for this article unless it be among those who beyond a preadventure of a doubt could well afford to wish or hope for my death. Now it is up to you to state whether they or yourself are responsible for said article which may be on your part a mistake but the author of the rumor is a wilful, malicious and vitriolic prevaricator. You will kindly do my friends and the public a favor by giving this article a prominent place on your editorial page as not only justice to ma, but in justice to those whose hearts are burdened because of said non-intelligence. But let me declare that I am the liveliest dead man that ever descended or ascended from the realm of this middle world and am curious to know from you when I died. "A great and glorious death is his who for his country falls; Still more so is his who falls for Christ." I am respectfully for truth, veracity and the uplift of humanity. P. P. SAMUEL 1020 Bainbridge Street, Phila, Pa. SOME TIMELY ADVICE FOR BISHOP SMITH I see that Bishop C. B. Smith, of Detroit, has offered another $1,000 for proof of ownership, etc by the Black Star Line of steamship and their work. It seems that Bishop Smith should engage in a holier work than to be "knocking" this great movement. Has not the great A. M. E. church work for the Bishop to do? We believe that the Garvey movement has done more to awaken racial consciousness in me American colored man than any other organization extant. Suppose some one came forward and asked the Bishop to prove that there is a literal hell-fire, could he do it? Suppose, also, some one steps up and offer to "bet" or give $1,000 if the good Bishop can prove that he (the Bishop) ever "saved a soul"? Why are these intellectuals so afraid of "back to Africa"? Why is Bishop Brooks in Africa and what great good is being done? Why call the A. M. E. Church, "African Methodist Church," if you are so afraid of Africa? The trouble with the American colored man is that he has too many pigmy leaders. Negroes have ten times too many church buildings and too many high officials like Bishop Smith. Bishop Turner, the ablest and brainsest man ever produced by any church, saw the vision even as Garvey has seen it. E. L. ROGERB Springfield, Ill. OBITUARY Mrs. Mattie Gordon, a member of the U. N.

I. A. IN CANADA EXTENDS TO ATLANTIC COAST LINE-ENTHUSIASM REIGNS SUPREME IN NOVA SCOTIA By VERNAL WILLIAMS. Glace Bay, Cape Breton, N. S., June 16—Not far from the most easterly of the Universal Negro Improvement Association divisions up' here in Canada, "the deep-voiced neighboring ocean speaks, and in accents disconsolex answers the wall of the forest." This great association knows no mundane barriers or limitations. It knows no political or territorial limits. The entire globe—land and water—is its province. If you step out of the quaint little Liberty Hall of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, and walk for eight or ten minutes eastward, you will find yourself on the extreme edge of the Canadian mainland, where the huge promontories raise their bulky heads in majestic dignity and grandeur above the giant Atlantic waves as they toast and splash with roaring sounds in their rocky caverns below. You stand a few hundred feet and peer out, far out into the endless limits of the misty ocean, or cast your eyes vertically below on the incessantly splashing billows five hundred feet below, hundreds, thousands of men are working, and five hundred feet below them there are thousands more working in the coal mines. Behind you huge steam operated hydraulic machines are pumping millions of gallons of water out of the deep mines and dumping them back into the ocean. One of the most interesting things is the fact that all of the colored men working in these mines are without exception members of the Universal Negrit Improvement Association. The enthusiasm of these men cannot be equaled anywhere. Their ardor is continuously burning with unquan- onable determination. Neither wind, nor sleet, nor snow, nor torrents impede their attending the meetings of the association here. No industrial crisis, however crucial, no intimidation, however much it may touch their most vital interests, can retard their progress in going forward beneath the banner of unfidult, unweakened or untram- melled Garveyism. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has no group of members more loyal than these brave stalwart Canadians. No group has caught a cleaner vision of the doctrine than the vision of the brave men and noble women of the Dominion. Up here in Nova Scotia the two flourishing divisions of Glace Bay and Sydney serve as giant posts to hold up the great structure in Eastern Canada. Since my arrival in the Dominion ten days ago I have been addressing every night large crowds of enthusiastic members, who rally relentlessly to the ranks even after spite of an industrial crisis that has hit the province. These have grown two sub-divisions added to the Glace Bay Division, one at New Waterford and another at No 6.1. a. Mine No.6 of the Dominion Coal Company's mines, in the neighborhood of which many of our people live. The people out here are continuously clamoring to hear the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and, without doubt, Nova Scotia, like other parts of Canada, is a most congenial spot for the progress of the Universal. The people have a strong race consciousness, a clear vision of a bright racial future, and an unsurpassable love of race hospitality is a part of their religion—is their creed. The haunts of the Universal Negro Improvement Association their shrine of worship. The Canadians call Nova Scotia the "land of Evangeline." Here it was that Longfellow reviewed the scenes of his immortal epic. In this country it was that dwell the companions of the poet's heroine. Here hospitality ruled the homes and hearts of the people where all wap brothers and sisters. No different is the land today. No different is it in spirit among the blocks who dwell here. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is tying and binding tighter the knot of racial solidarity. NO MORE U. S. MILITARY RULEDOMINICAN REPUBLIC WASHINGTON, June 14.—A proclamation formally announcing the decision of the United States to withdraw its military government from the Dominican Republic was issued there today by Rear Admiral B. S. Robison, military governor. The text of the proclamation was made public here by the State Department. In announcing the decision the hope was expressed that the American military forces could be withdrawn within eight months and the Dominican people were called upon to cooperate to that end. The executive power, it was explained, would be exercised by the military governor "until a duly elected proclaimed president of the republic shall have taken office and until a convention of evasion shall have been signed by the president and confirmed by the Dominican congress." After setting forth the necessity of establishing a "duty constituted government of the Dominican Republic" before the withdrawal may become effective, the proclamation outlines in detail the method in which, under the authority of the government, such a government shall be elected. The military forces of the republic can be afforded by native competence to hold such positions, but with their protection that American army reserves may be used for such time because the necessity to affect the defending community of the new nation TULSA RIOT A WARNING TO NEGROES (Continued from page one.) of forensic effort. At times the din of the handclapping and vocal expressions of approval as the speaker made one strong point after another, was deafening. The enthusiasm manifested was no strained or artificial and its warmth and continued and increasing manifestation from the beginning to the end of the address is evidence how strongly Negroes have been attired everywhere throughout the country against the terrible, disgraceful happening at Tulsa, and their determination not to allow a repetition of it anywhere without giving such an account of themselves as will never be forgotten, and will stop once and for all the treatment of colored people in America not as human being, but as animals without human instinct, human feelings or a human soul. Of all the many Tula mass meetings that have been held throughout the country, this is the most notable. Dr. Eason's address will without doubt meet with a hearty response and endorsement by our people all over the land, and, it is hoped, will serve as an effective means of drawing the members of the race together in closer bonds of relationship for concerted action in defence and protection of their lives and their homes and the maintenance of their constitutional rights. Rev. Dr. G. N. Stewart was the presiding officer. An appropriate musical program was rendered before the speechmaking began. On the platform were the Rev Horizon, an American liberal; Mr. Ward, president of the Atlantic City Division of the U. N. I. A., and Mr. Hauxtin, president of the Brooklyn Division. These gentlemen were in turn introduced to the audience, and made brief addresses touching upon the work of the universal Negro Improvement Association. himself was then presented, and, after he had been asked to follow tendered, hips spoke as follows: DR. EASON SPEAKS Right Honorable High Chancellor, Members of the High Executive Council, Officers and Members of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is always a source of the greatest pleasure for me to have the opportunity of speaking in Liberty Hall. I enjoy meeting my people in all sections of this country, and I have had the opportunity of meeting many of them. I have spoken in other sections practically every night, and three or four times on Sunday, since last September. I think my experiences have been quite varied in addressing different sections and different classes of our people all over this American continent since that time. But I say, without any attempt at flattery, that I am more pleased when in Liberty Hall than anywhere else, and I tell other people that, not to make them feel badly, but rather to stir them up in order that they might become the equal of the people in Liberty Hall. So I am glad to be here tonight and to see so many of you present. It speaks well for your presiding officer, Dr. Stewart, and for the interest that you are still manifesting in the meetings held here from time to time despite the fact that your local president has been absent from you now for some time in other sections of the world doing work for the great cause in which we are so deeply interested. Do you know, my friends, that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and with its female as well as male members, are doing more to advance the real interests of the Negro than any other organization in existence among our people, and that it has challenged the attention of the world everywhere? And do you know that because of its existence the propaganda it is spreading, the great uplifting work it is doing in drawing our people together and cementing them into one common band or unit, and that because of the upright, fearless, aggressive and wise leadership of our President General and Provisional President of Africa, because of the honest and efficient handling of our funds by our High Chancellor of the Treasurer of the Black Star Lions because the mission of the intelligent arts of the heads of the various departments of this great movement, the work accomplished by the local organization and our other branches throughout the world that our association is doing more to punish man into the breast of the Negro and to put a real backbone in his back, instead of a lump of jelly, than any other agency in this world? (Aplausae). Therefore I am glad to be identified with you and to be a humble part of this wonderful organization of our. I came to speak to you tonight, my dear friends, on the Tulsa riots. Hits and disorders of that kind break out sometimes caused by white people on the one side, precipitated by some heinous crime that is alleged to have been committed by some low down Negro on the other. Oftimes when a crime of his sort is alleged to have been done it is not true, but there are instances when Negroes are very unconcerned as to their own good and of the good of their needs and allow themselves to go angry about sympathy or anger about them. The white folks, in order to maintain what they can withstand, "in order to keep the blood white, white, white." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1921 male Negroes from singing with female white men, yet deliberately allowing their white men to mix with female Negroes—talk about attempting to revenge the one accused, without the process of law; and that brings on mob violence, despicable of the fundamental principles of the laws of the State, destructive of the written code of the Constitution of the United States, destructive of law and order everywhere. But we must be in mind that these mob do not represent the letter of the law, neither of any of the States nor of the United States. In the case that may represent the spirit of the law of the immediate sections, and in other instances part represent the spirit of the interpretation of the law. The United States Federal Congress has never yet made a law making it a Federal offense for people to engage in mob violence and lynching parties. Understand me clearly. Such was the Tulsa riot. The truth of the affair is simply this: cause they are not such, some of our leaders will try to take advantage of us, and instead of endeavoring to unite us together, so that we can demand as well as ask for our rights, they are pulling the word over our open which they have done now for the last 57 years, with the only result that has come to the race of a fat rat job having been given out to some of the politician, leaving us in even a worse condition than we were before. (Appeals). The Tulsa riot is but the result of a system that has been allowed to operate in several States of the Union. That is true, and we may as well face the realities of the matter like men. This is no time to quibble or to hide; this is no time to palliate; this is no time to play. It is rather, the time to look the facts in the face and see the situation as it stands in its true light. Thus the mob gathered while the young Negro was in jail under the custody of rist teaches world is the Tulsa. If I would increase my Ibane Supported Third and of the Tulsa time to the world to surround the Green apples. Before the Tulshin This course destined to in the next accomplish race. The Truth About Tulsa I had occasion while in Chicago to interview an individual who lived in Tulsa, having come direct from there to Chicago, and who gave a sworn statement to the Chicago Whip (one of whose editors I have the honor of knowing, he having been a classmate of mine in college for four years) bearing upon the subject. Though the Negro boy may have been worthless, and though the girl might not have been a Vestel virgin, the Negress of Tulsa declared that there shall not be any lynching there that night. (Applauses.) And when it came to a "show down," regardless of what the circumstances may have been, or the character of the man, or the innocence of the woman, every lawyer who knows anything about the Constitution, every citizen of this country who loves the Constitution, everybody who resides here, whether a citizen or not, whether regarded as a citizen or not, every one, black and white, is bound to reach the conclusion, whether he admits it publicly or not, that the white people who gathered in Tulsa on that night and formed themselves into a mob were violators of the fundamental laws of this country; and the Negroes who handed themselves together and stood firm to hold them accountable for the "Old Gidle" and the teachers of the Constitution of the United States of America. (Tremendous applauses.) That being true, therefore we have absolutely no apology to make we have absolutely no "soft pedal" to put on in dealing with the aroctities of the Tulsa riot, and in trying to prove that God was not considered, that he itself broke loose and ruled supreme in that city during the time it that might, terribly riot. The Principle involved Thus you see, my friends, that back of the actual happenings on that fatal night in Tulsa was a mighty principle involved—that men and women were denied the privilege and right to life, "liberty and the pursuit of happiness" guaranteed to them by the Constitution, which denial was made merely because the color of their skin happened to be black, and one of their race had been accused of having done a wrong, no effort whatever having even been made to inquire into the truth or falsity of the allegation or accusation, a long time for a outbreak like that to really happen, it does not come all in a moment. Do you realize that the people in authority there stood silent and allowed the 14th and 18th amendments to be annulled? Do you realize that the "powers that be" stood by, inactive, and allowed the Negroes to be disfranchised in practically all the Southern States, and, in some of the Border States: that they allowed Jim Crowism to exist in this country, and that they allowed the soldiers who fought and bled on the battlefields of France and Florida to be Jim Crow when they came back to this country wearing the uniform of the same country that sent them to war? Do you realize the according to the interpretation of the laws in most of the States Negroes had no rights that white men were bound to respect, and, therefore, they allowed hell itself to break looses and women, men and children to be butchered and even burned in their own lives? Now, as I have said, the cause of this riot in Tulsa was the ultimate result of a long process of continued bumilations that had been placed under the Negro race by the representatives of the white race; so that, even now, because of that fact, the Negro everywhere is regarded as less than a man. And I stand before you now to declare, as bad as I hate to announce it, and as sorry as I am that it is true, that Negroes in America are really not citizens of the United States of America. (Aplause.) If they were real citizens of this country, then those in authority would not allow any of its citizens to be treated different from other citizens; but because we are not real citizens, but partial citizens, any state in the union may pass almost any kind of law it pleases, discriminating against Negroes in that state and yet not violate the Constitution, because the Constitution does not force anybody to recognize Negroes as citizens unless they want to do so. For example: We vote for Pennsylvania—and I am one of them—thought that we were real citizens of that State, but the other day they found it necessary to introduce a Legislature that would right Bills. Wegressed the right to eat where they want to, to visit places of public entertainment where they please, and to stop in any hotel where they choose to stop. New, if Negroes had been real citizens in Pennsylvania, why, as this late date did they have to introduce a Civil Rights Bill in the Legislature of that state, purposely to give in some rights that other citizens there enjoy? If they had been citizens they would have had to do what would they? (Clyde A. Palmer, *The 5th State I have been in the United States*; 1985.) once they are not such, some of our leaders will try to take advantage of us, and, instead of endorsing to write us together, so that we can demand as well as ask for our rights, they are putting the work over our eyes, which they have done now for the last 57 years, with the only result that has been the face of a two fat jobs having been paid to politicians leaving us to over a worse condition than we were before. (Appease.) The Tulsa riot is but the result of a system that has been allowed to operate in several states of the Union. That is true, and we may as well face the stern realities of the matter the men. This is no time to equilibrate or to hide; this is no time to palliate; this is no time to play. It is rather, the time to look the facts in the face and see the situation as it stands in its true light. Thus the mob gathered while the young Negro was in jail under the custody of the officers of the law. But the mob thought that they would have a trailing party, that they would light up the city that night with the burning flash of a human being in black, whose only crime was the offence of having been in close proximity with a white girl and whose only judge and jury were the hoodums of the town, of the supposed enraged members of the other race, who accounted it not unlawful to mix with black women either with or without their consent in the darkness of night, yet who became incensed because a black man exercised the same privilege with respect to one of their women. They would string him to a chair, to him to a stake, and there burn him, in an example of their respect for law and that. But, thank God—and I mean it—but what came there were some Negroes there it makes no difference to me whether they came from the poolrooms or the barrooms or the gambling dens or joints or anywhere else. There were some Negroes who declared that there shall be no chaining there that night. (Great applause.) The white papers in writing upon the Tulsa riot tried to create the impression that the Negroes were frightened, that they were huddled together like sheep, and so forth. But they were bound to admit that when they came to take toll of the dead and wounded for practically every Negro who "hit the dust" a white man died also. (Applause.) And those Negroes who "bucked the line" in Tulsa, who by their brave, their courageous action, their fearlessness, went forth-to fight for themselves, for their home, for their children against the barbary, the diabolical cowardice and cruelty of those white hoodlums in the attempt of the latter to take advantage of the innocent and the helpless. Those Negroes who did that, in my mind, if angels have a place in heaven and a just and almighty God there rules, have not only won for themselves lasting fame and heroes and defenders of the fight that they cannot office and eternity will not cease. (Applause.) They simply decided to make themselves for a mob to take the life of a human being, thats all, and thus they have immortalized themselves, and their names will go down in the annals of the history of our race as among its worstest martyr. (Applause.) That principle should be taught and inculcated into all Negroes. Respect the Flag. We do not teach any aggressive war. No. We teach all to honor and respect law and order wherever they are; to honor the flag under which they live, because some day we expect that flag to float alongside of ours and our flag to float in the breeze alongside of that flag. (Applause.) We further teach Negroes if white people, or yellow people, or people of any race or color anywhere at any time break the laws of this country, or descrive its flag, and begin, without regard to mother, wife, husband, mother, sister, children, slick or well to raise — throughout the land. Negroes should salute and give them the same kind of medicine they try to hand to us. (Deafening applause, lasting several moments.) Third and last, the lesson I got out of the Tupon riot is this: An admission to the Negroes everywhere in the world to make their stress and wrap around them the Red, the Black and the Green. (Great and long continued applause.) Before the conclusion of the meeting the following announcement was read: This convention (the U. N. I. A.) is destined to be the greatest recorded in the history of the Negro, and will accomplish instainable benefit to the race. Youre truly, MARCUS GARVEY, President of the above-mentioned Local Division of the U. N. I. A.

To push forward is just the strengthening standpoint, but there are many drawbacks. Cheers and cheers will ring after each other in quick succession for the great President-General, Marcus Garvey has done, doing to carry his aim to victory, as far as any one of intelligence has seen or have earnestly decided on. After running as far as he concluded in his many lectures, of great benvolence, success and gratitude, he takes trips across the ocean, in connection with gathering more reasonable ideas from all parts of the world. Creating more anxiety in arranging the unity of the people in a great worldwide improvement and association, to give more intelligence and intellectual assistance to each and every one of economical, commercial and theological sense. Ready and willing working people of the Negro race are on the way to satisfaction, which brings joy to their hearts. Tell them of Africa and pursued to his family and business.

He was one anything in my eyes, but never an observer the most important of all of my views. Of the conditions I gave credit to 'one of the data by quoting a selection from his essay for his high and high professional endeavors.' We can compare the problem with the one he has a different with him. My criticism included, always surprised, the much he was a good friend by James W. Thompson demolished. the perishers. It would give *Jacques* flavor a woe of emptiness; and and how to entail it; to make his emptiness great, and the flamed beauty of the poet and be a fumed hero in the mour- ner. That is a good idea for day and every one to think of white. God provides over the U. M. L. A. and all the people of the world.

"GOAT ALLEY" NEW TORK, JUNE 21.—"Goat Alloy," a serious Negro play, in which the cast is made up entirely of Negroes, is to be produced on Broadway. This is a sex play by Ernest H. Gulbertson and is sponsored by the sociological department of the Medical Review of Reviews. Andrew Bishop, Charles Gilpin, Clarence Muson, Edward Wright, Francis Moore and Hayden K. Medford, the six leading Negro actors in the country, have refused to take part in this play on the ground that it is not representative of their race and places the Negro woman in a degrading light by showing her to be of extremely low moral character.—The Billboard. We are indeed glad to see that the above named colored actors have come out for race respect and refused to star in a play that is intended to demoralize the race to the lowest degree. The opening scene is a crap game in an alley in Washington's colored district. While this game is in progress an elderly colored woman happens by. Her lines are, "Get out of here, you good-for-nothing niggers." This term is used throughout the entire play. We are going to humiliate ourselves with racial stand. May this naught not be bring to wait and see who the Negro will be that is going to play this rule which has no race respect or detainy—H. G. S. L. M. M. CONTRASTS THE POETRY OF WATKINS AND McKAY Editor Negro World: I shall be very grateful to you if you will be good enough to grant me space in your worthy paper to reply to the harsh criticisms made upon me because of my remarks made some time ago on the merits of the poetry of the imamated Lucian R. Watkina. One of my critics accused me of insulting Mr. Watkina. That is false. I simply pointed out that his was emphatically praised beyond all prob- DAMNABLE AND INEXCUSABLE WAS THE TULSA RIOT After having viewed the panorama of human slaughter during the recent pandemium at Tulsa, Oklahoma, Governor J. 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. He afterwards founded the State Summer League of Conn. I was corresponding secretary of the Colored National League of Boston, the McKinley Union of New Haven and of the Constitutional Republican Club of New Haven. I was a member of the Executive Committee of the Afro American Council, and a charter member of the New England Suffrage League and Niagara Movement. All these movements one by one failed because there were no industrial props underneath them, and in conceived of the Negro Factories Corporation and the Black Star Line and the commercial development of Li- U.S. Army Minion Last Shoe Quantized 6 months.

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!

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.

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.

Dear Sir—I hope you will forgive my repeated demand upon you for space in your valuable columns, but I feel it my privilege to command you highly on the warm interest and whole-souled tolerance which you have manifested in the budding posts of the Negro race. An insignificant aspirant in the domain of Negro verification myself. I owe you a lifetime of gratitude for the prominence given me from time to time. I do not believe in praising a man after he is dead. I am certain that the other poets will join me in saying that you are a blessing to us.

Yet His angels come to succor, Help and cheer me on my way. Tenderly they hover 'er me, Bid me never sense to pray. Every day my Father leads me Close beside a running stream, With a cup of patience feeds me. While He bids me lean on Him. While He doth my cup replenish On His breast I shall rollcine. Peace, sweet peace, that passeth knowledge In most wonderfully mine. (MRS. M. RAINFORD. 385 Delisle St., Montreal, Can. To My Sister.

If I could only know that in your youthful heart There's still reserved for me some bud of love. The tides that surge my shore so oft would roll apart; To sweet content my fretful mind would rove. If I could only know that when you kneel to pray You would commend me to Jehovah's care. I would no longer feel a failure on the way; I'd find the world an Eden bright and fair. CHARLES H. D. ESTE. U. N. L. A. Literary Club, Montreal A GREETING TO HON. MARCUS GARVEY Hon. Marcus Garvey, Pres. Gen. U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. Universal Building. New York City. Dear Sir: I am authorized by your subjects and my fellow citizens to inform you most cordially that our hearts and souls are with you in this great undertaking. We pledge you to do our best in helping you to further the move. But just now we can do nothing. We have been like others whom you are always reprimanding. 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. Whatever your orders or wish we are willing to comply so long as it is in our power. Wishing you God- speed and success in this undertaking, I conclude, yours obediently. GLARIBERT L. WATKS.

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.

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.

An appeal to the American people was published here today by the Haitian authors of the Memorial to Congress, who assert that a rigorous press ownership has been reestablished in Port-au-Prince by Colonel John H. Russell, who they assert, has imprisoned two editors and forbidden Haitian newspapers to publish American newspaper comments on the recently published Memorial. The appeal to the American people, which is signed by H. Paulus Sannoy, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Haiti; Stenio Vincent, former President of the Haitian Senate; and Perceval Thoby, former Haitian Charge d'Affaires at Washington, was given out at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, and is as follows: A new attack upon the liberties of the Haitian people has been perpetrated by Colonial John H. Russell, commanding the marines at Port-au-Prince. According to the latest reports and newspapers from Haiti, Colonel Russell issued on May 28, last, a military order suppressing freedom of speech and of the press. The order translated from the French is as follows: Order of the Day. Although, in principle, there is no restriction upon liberty of the press and of speech, nevertheless the writings and speeches of an incessant nature, or which tend to cast discredit on the forces of the United States who are giving aid and assistance to the Haitian Government, or writings and speeches attacking the person of the President of Haiti or the Government of Haiti, are prohibited. All contravention of the present order will be brought before a military tribunal. (Signed) JOHN H. RUSSELL. Colonel. U. N Marine Corps, Commanding First Brigade, U. S. Marines and United States Forces Ashore in Haiti. Subsequent to this, two Haitian journalists, M. Jolibois and M. Lanoue, were arrested. A third, M. Thebaud, is being sought "It's because the Haitian newspapers protested against brutality, crime and un-American suppression that the new order was promulgated. Under such an order the marines can, with impunity, continue to terrorize the Haitian people. "This situation is a return to the oppression which we had to endure during the first five years of American occupation in Haiti. The delegates to the American people of the Patriotic Union of Haiti appeal to all fair-minded Americans to insist on knowing the facts of the violence and oppression which are being perpetrated in their name by United States forces in the Haitian Republic."

MARCUS GARVEY A DOER NOT A SAYER Title Editor: The Workman of Panama; Image Editor: Mr. Editor: Permit me space in the columns of your journal to express my opinions regarding an article appearing in the weekman issue of May 11 headed, Harvey's Bubble Attacked. Before succeeding with my undertakings, may ask of you, Mr. Editor, your reason for allowing such semeless logic as I have read, from time to time, to be published in the columns of your journal? You said that you do not hold yourself responsible for the sentiments expressed by your correspondents; that's true, and I did not expect to hear differently, but, I am saying here, that such articles are impregnated with maliciousness and jealousy, and I am sure that they help you nona. I remembered some weeks ago, when the Hon. Marcus Garvey was lecturing in Jamaica, you manifested such enthusiasm as to have, before hand, fly sheets in large letters stating "see your Workman on Saturday and hear the speech of the Hon. Marcus Garvey at the Ward Theatre, and, when Saturday came, you had, at the end of a certain part of the speech to be continued in the next issue—and that was to bring in a little more money. Why didn't you succeed with the sale of that issue? I am positive that there were not sufficient copies of that issue in Colon that week, for the very name of the Hon. Gentleman, the pattern for you babblers, fault-finders and do nothings was an added means of your gathing a livelihood; yet, you welcome all destructive publications connected thereto, and turn down constructive ones. Have you forgotten that this is the age of the New Negro, and the only way you succeed is to manifest the true spirit of New Negroism? Now for your Mr Tom Saywall: Sir, I am at a loss to conjecture the reason you a "waywall" could not advise your people against throwing their five-seventy-five with the brotherhood to enrich the coffers of the other fellow. Do you really mean to say that one of superb intelligence an encyclopedia, the world's best opinion, and a Saywall owned by and allowed such mean advantage to be perpetrated on his race and said nothing until now that the person has all legal rights to get ridine, instead of five-seventy-five to the lightlight the Negroism organization, that you wake from fraternity, and start with information. and listen to the music. We shall, harness forth, look to Geowell and forget Saywell in that we will welcome the Sea, for seeing it believing. We do not want your advice in talking us where to invest, nor what has become of the Black Star Liaja. We are today carving our own best faith as a people oppressed, discriminated and segregated, and are prepared to face all reverence, irrespective of any and all such sayers like you, we have ceased to listen to nor consider, for the man of the hour, the door and not the sayer, in the Hon. Marus Garvey. You remarked that his orations are inferior to that of your local talent. Yet you failed to understand that the Hon. Gentleman did not come to speak to an asa, nor to dead man. It is the hardest thing on earth to make a crab understand something, and all the local orators of whom you spoke are of your class and are expounding their orations on the Chinese sum-counter; therefore, Mr. Saywell, we have ceased to be made any more tools for those of you who live obscured and waited for a chance to dispossess us of, or away us from, our intention and support to the Garvey movement. You asked when will the Garvey movement cease to take advantage of the croidulity and guillibility of the ignorant and unsuspecting Negroes? Well, in answer to your inquiry, allow me to apprise you of the fact, and, at least, be thought wise, that the Garvey movement shall never cease until the banner of the Black, the Red and the Green is planted on African plains, telling of an Africa redeemed and all such like you will be made to acknowledge that you are (unot a triple stage). In conclusion, let me advise you that whenever you wish to show your ignorance, try to change your name from Saywell to Beewell, for, every living Negro today has seen and is applauding the true doctrine of the Garvey movement (En attendent) for your admonition. I am referring to you to the World's Work issue of December, 1920, and January, 1921. Thanking you for spaco. Mr. Editor I remain youn. SOLOMON J. E. JT. ROSE. Colin. R. P. CRISTOBAL BRANCH. May 8 will go down in history to the sons and daughters of Ethiopia and the Cristobal Branch of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. for on this date was held the celebration of the unveiling of the charter, No. 229. On this special occasion both citizens of the Republic of Panama and also Africans at home and abroad were just anxiously awaiting the grand and noble opportunity of seeing the Cristobal Division of the U. N. I. A., better known to the masses in the Republic of Panama and also Central and South America as the Auxiliary Mission of the U. N. I. A., of which Mr. J. H. Seymour, the pioneer and propagandist of the above-named association in president, chosen with the hope of being able to consolidate the entire masses of the Republic of Panama into one united body under the colors of the Red, Black and Green. On this occasion long before President J. H. Seymour put in his appearance the hall was strenged from pit to dome and many were turned away, as there were neither seating capacity nor standing room to accommodate the many who desired to attend. The meeting was opened in the usual form with reading from the ritual, to which the crowd gave rapt attention. Seated on the platform with Leader J. H. Seymour were the spiritual adviser of the division, Dr. G. A. Barte; W. A. Campbell, chairman of the advisory board, and his secretary, Mr. R. A. Bowen; also the first vice-president, Mr. Hubert Gittena, and the second vice-president, Reuben Collymore, with the organist of the above-named branch, Mr. N. F. Allamby. To the right wing of the hall were seated the lady president and her associates and in front of the rostrum were the Black Cross Nurses of the association under the auspices of Mrs. Adriane Hunt, who is doing noble work-preparing the old and young of our race for the battle plains of our motherland, Africa. We take pleasure in making special mention of Mr. Bishop, the executive secretary of the Prospective Branch of the U. N. I. A., Panama Division, whose presence we now declare four hundred million Negroes can depend on. We therefore wish our Prospective Branch of the U. N. I. A. and its workers Godspeed for the deliverance of our fatherland, for precious days are passing and men and women are dying without hope for the future generation. We as ambassadors now declare there is no more time to waste minding the affaire of other men, for we have taken on our shoulders this grand and noble movement for a free and redeemed African Republic. God giving us help, grace and strength, we will fight to the bitter end with the four hundred million until the gong is sounded. Oh, Africa, bleeding Africa, dear Africa! Your sons and daughters are free, free indeed! Thanking you, Mr. Bittor, I beg to remain. You're fraternally, ALGONSO LYNCH, General Secretary Cristobal Brasch DENIES THAT WHALE SWALLOWED JONAH LONDON, June 9th, Dr. B. G. Hamilton professor of literature at the University of Chicago, educating a professor of Wellington at St. Martin's, where he received his doctorate, he said that Zorn's work constituted the first which had been published. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1921 Moitten, had passed through the hands of commentators who had no knowledge, no understanding of literature, and who reduced it to a form which had little or no fitness to the real Bible. One of these numerous commentators had written most great spiritual, and beautiful book of Joshua the narrative of the whale, the only effect being one of distortion and displacement. In actual fact the story, asserted Dr. Moitten, had been originally in the form of a more footnote comment in manuscript, but by some blunder, due to careless aliphated printing, from which the Bible suffered more than any other book in the world, the fable of the whale had been included in the general text. And in this way had it come down through the ages to the modern world as pure comedy, or, what was worse, ribald satire. CALIFORNIA RACE HATERS COVET BUSINESS OF "BROWN" COMPETITORS Frosno, California's hot-bed of vice, anarchy and Bolphism, is very busily engaged at the present time in drumming up her "examplary" good (7) citizens to instigate, a boycott in an endeavor to wrest from the Japanese their little meat shops and fruit stands. The "Never Swears" and "Naughty Dancers" are instigating a quiet house-to-house canvas, telling their neighbors how they just hate the nasty things," and pleading with every person who will give ear to their foul propaganda to boycott and starve out this handful of foreigners who have kept these same superstitious, narrow-minded race haters from starving! Indeed, several of these same little shops, whose destruction this evinced class now seek to acquaint, have recently been obliged to give up business on account of giving credit, which they could never collect, to these same institutions of humanity who now seek to ruin them because of their color! If these "highly commendable and reputable" citizens who are so overly anxious to warn the public of the "menace of the Oriental in business" (albeit they never dare to mention their own business standards) would stop to mention the morality of their own business standards in building up their blood drinking graft, their so-called "legitimate business" would dwindle so low they would have to get down on their knees and gaze into the deepest chasms of the ground in their future homes to see it! And yet they keep on whining and whimpering for all of the U. S. navy to be placed on the Pacific Coast! Why so? JAMES LLOYD! UNIVERSITY'S BRILLIANT COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES GREAT EVENT Hon. Wm. H.

AGUINALDO IS BRIDE OF DIRECTOR MELENCIO WASHINGTON, June 19.—Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, daughter of the famous Filipino insurgent leader, who has been attending Wellesley College, was married on March 30 at Alexandria, Va. to Jose P. Melencio, director of the Philippine Press Bureau at Washington. The marriage became known here yesterday and has just been announced by Gen. Aguinaldo in Manila. Mrs. Melencio is the only daughter of the celebrated chief. She and Mr. Melencio are spending their honeymoon at the home of Philippine Commissioner De Veyra. Through tenderness mention of Miss Lytline M. Galloway was entitled from the report of the graduation exercise of Braithwaite Sherwood School, held on June 8. Miss Galloway made a pleasing condition of a vocal solo entitled "Love Is Like a Bubba," written by Mr. W. A. Morgan, a colored composer. She is also a graduate of the school and has made wonderful success in the commercial field, having worked her way up from the position of stenographer to that of office manager and secretary of a large printing concern. Following is the verbatim report of the closing address delivered by Principal Braithwaite at the graduation exercise: Ladies and Gentlemen: I hope you will bear with us tonight, in view of the fact that we had not very much time in which to prepare ourselves for the exercise of this occasion. It has only been a matter of about three or four weeks, and therefore things have not come off as they might have if we had had more time to devote to the necessary preparations. However, I trust that your patience has not been altogether exhausted, and I promise you I will not tax it any longer. I desire to express, on behalf of the school and also on behalf of myself, our sincere thanks for your presence here this evening. We assure you that it is indeed gratifying to the school and to the students and to myself to know that our efforts toward the educational uplift of our people in this city are appreciated. That has been demonstrated by your presence here. I feel sure that unless we had your sympathy you would not have taken the trouble, perhaps at some sacrifice, to come here tonight and assist us in bringing these exercises to a successful conclusion. As I have said, it is gratifying to know that, and we appreciate it sincerely. Now, just a few remarks to regard to the school. It is the outgrowth of the request of a few persons, a few progressive young men and young women, to organize a school which would be conducted by persons experienced and particularly competent along the lines which the school is intended to operate. That request was made about a year and a half ago to my former associate, Mr. Christow, and myself, and, agreeable to that request, we formed the unessess of this school. The school was formed in a young lady's parlor. This young lady was kind enough to land us the use of her parlor for the organizing of the school until we could get larger and more commodious quarters. We started with four students, and so rapidly did the school grow that in the space of two, or three weeks we had to go outside and look for some other place, because we were crowding the young lady out of her apartment, and we couldn't afford to do that, as apartments were very scarce then, as they are even now. So we had to get out. From there we went to the office of an employment agency. This employment agency graciously allowed us to have our sessions there in the evening after their business in the day was through. We held our classes there from 8 to 10 o'clock, three evenings a week; and from four we grew and grew and grew, until we outgrew the accommodations we had there. The accommodation was somewhat more gracious than the parlor, but the cool got more crowded, and the result was we had to get out again. Next we went to the Community House at the course of IKEA design and business science. Here we have in long term for our school, a photo of IKEA's power- house (twenty-five of IKEA's buildings with computers). We study IKEA for two or three months and also IKEA China, which made it necessary to meet with other questions. ... a sample of our search we have in a hotel a school building of just what we building. Our studies Right, and of IKEA five months the school experience. Two more days, which are just enough to accommodate the students we have now. Do that you and the school have made rapid progress, starting with their pupils in December, 1919, we have grown and grown that today, we have an enrollment of over 129 students (Applause). I think I can make bold to say that these results could only have been made possible by reason of the fact that the students who have come to us for instruction received, what they came for, and that they have been prepared with what they got and are getting. That has been our mission, our purpose. We have tried so many as possible to adhere to that purpose—to give the students what they are after—what they come up for, a through, practical course in cheerhand and in typewriting as adapted for the requirements of business. To use the language of the street, we "hand them the goods," and the fact that they have remained with us until they completed the course in evidence of the satisfaction that has been given them; for since they are all paid students I am sure they would not have paid out their hard-earned money for something, which was unsatisfactory to them; this I repeat, is proof that the students who have come to us have been particularly satisfied with the instruction they have received at this school. The contestants in tonight's contest, as you see from the program, were divided into four groups. Those of the Junior Class entered the school in November last; some in October of last year, and in the space of those few months—a little over seven—they have completed the course as outlined in the text-books. While they have not reached a very high speed in shorthand at this time, they have mastered all the principles of Isaac Pimman's system of shorthand. The next group, the intermediate Class, have been attending the school for about six months, and they were able to take dictation here tonight at the rate of 99 words a minute. The Senior Class have been in the school for about a year, and they have been able to take dictation at the rate of 129 words a minute. In the all-comers contest, the winner of the prize, Miss Therionis, is a student. At who graduated and completed the course in the day classes in the space of four months and a half, Miss Thorionis has been one of our best students. She not only completed in that time the theoretical course, but she completed the practical course. Sand for the base both about equal weight, perseverance over the course of life.

CANADIAN DIVISIONS U.N.I.A.MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR AUGUST CONVENTION BY VERNAL WILLIAMS GRAND LAKE, SYDNEY, Nova Bethle, June 6—When I left New York at the early fall of last year in com- pany with the American Leader, His Magnificent J. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Ho with his powere of leadership, marshalled ble forces cf oratory and persuasion, and showed to bis au- Glence that they were being misied by the Fleshpots of Egypt, whicn were cnly mental mirages, ‘Tho hall was inadequate to contain the large crowd of both Garveyttes and non-Garveyites who came to hear Dr. Brooks. Be as it may, whether the seed fall on good ground oF not, Lanot the question. The fact remains that “the Bower went forth to sew and did sow” Sunday evening Liberty Hall was crowded to ite utmost capacity with Garveyites who came to take advan- tage of the unexpected treat of hearing Dr Brooks. After the usual musical program had been rendered by the choir, Mr Attaway, ercond vice-preal- Gent. in very befitting remarks pre- sented Dr Brooks, the speaker of the evening Dr. Brooks Speake Dr Brooks said in part —Madame president. officers and members of the Vnlversal Negro Improvement Asso- ciation and African Communities League Tam glad to be here to great you. and hope you will be pleased with the message I bring you.

Moron, Ceigo de Avila, Camagay and Florida join hands together to do the trick. Accordingly, a mass meeting was arranged for the plan being initiated and worked out by the Calgo de Aliva Division, which met at Caspedes, it being the most central of the branches. 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. At 6:30 p. m., while it was still raining, the meeting was called to order by Mr. S. J. Williamson, president of the home division. 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.

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.

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.

If you have pride, if you feel that by co-operation we can make conditions better, if you believe that the black boy or black girl is the equal of other boys and girls of other races, then prove it now by co-operating to demonstrate our manhood and womanhood, not by talking, but by doing things. The general objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, are: To establish a universal confraternity among the 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. If these objects do not appeal to you, then you are dead to all sense of race pride and race manhood. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION AND AFRICAN COMMUNITIES LEAGUE, Inc. nounced he would charge that in the general elections last November in eleven Southern States Negroes were denied the right of casting ballots. 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.
