Impressions from a Missionary School. By Worth M. Tuttle. Since "Garveyism" is a word that not he understood by some of our readers, we take the liberty of quoting from a paragraph on it, which appeared in the issue of THE WORLD TOMORROW for September, 1920: "Mr. Garvey is a Jamaican, whose first operations in the United States seem to have been the formation of the Black Star Steamboat Line, for which he is said to have collected from enthusiastic Negroes large sums of money. The steamboat line grew into the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and boomed mightily, perhaps beyond the expectations of Mr. Garvey himself. Anyway, he had peninsula enough to seek for a big idea in the construction of the conception of Africa for the African, a black republic or empire, it doesn't much matter which. Recently he was elected Presidential President of Africa, but one of his followers hellled him as "President, Emperor, or Potentate." He wears proud robes of coffee and invigorated enormous cushions at a Madison Square Garden meeting. At a session of a colored ministerial conference held recently at a missionary school in the far South the chairman made an announcement to the following effect: "The professor of Negro history will now speak to us on modern missionary Africa and ancient civilisations in Africa. Recently our young people have been somewhat stirred up about certain—things in connection with our growing race consciousness, and we are glad to have a Christian young man go over this question with us." The Christian young man, a graduate of Harvard, who has delved as deeply as undergraduate study permitted him into the buried past of Africa, produced two maps of that continent, upon which he traced the past, present, and future history. Africa, he said, is in a worst state of development, and the Baganism. This fact has not due to the missionaries themselves, who have accomplished what is good in Africa today, but to the exploitation of the so-called Christian countries. Universal opinion to the contrary, Africans are capable of self-government, and would be better off without Christianity, as it has been given them, than with it. In disproof of the bellittement of Africans, he said, briefly the ancient history of Nubia, of that part of Africa now known as Nigeria, and the possible Negroid prehistoric civilization in Egypt, which formled the basis of Egyptian culture. From that point on his speech was directly inspired by the ideal of Garveyism. Africa must come into the control of Africans and of people of African descent. He concluded his speech with: "It is difficult to tell whether Africa was a slave nation or Mohammedan. The leaders of the movement have not taken up that phase of the matter yet, but it is likely that it will be Mohammedan." Faintly, and because of its instinct for the courtesies due a speaker, his audience applauded, and upon the faces of the clergymen, of many conservative older men, of mothers and grandmothers who have contributed lavishly to "missions" at every gathering, there were ardued expressions. Only a few weeks after, on the other hand, an audience at high school and college students had gathered to hear a lecture on marriage as a representative of Marus Garvey. The contrast was so striking, that if one forgot a moment the missionary bias in the first audience he would wonder whether the Garvey movement may not be a Young Africa Movement. This earlier speaker had advised those 500 students to stop thinking white" and to begin to "think black" of phrase which gained instantaneous popularity; to take from their walls the picture of the famous white men, of the white angel, and of Christ blessing the only white children, and to substitute the black angel, and of Christ blessing children of both races. He had closed them to throw away that triviality of colored, childhood, the white girl, and to give their future children the colors of their own color. Why he had quitted, bring up, a child to believe that their children must be white, that their children must be white? To be a child to believe that their children must be white, that their children must be white? boarder, a primary student, who, with her light brown kinky hair and pals ecu skin, stands on the color line, and who has four dolls, varying in hue from pure white to dark brown. There are no less than five distinct attitudes toward Garveyism in evidence within the small radius of this institution. The most noticeable is that the young colored professors, an attitude which is epitomized in the speech on ancient Africa. While they see the weakness in the Garvey scheme for winning Africa and the financial situation of their allies, they rely on the support of the idea. They admire Dr. Du Bols and appreciate his position on the matter, but they are young enough to thrill with the thought of a future nationality, however remote, and of a place that they may call home. They have developed a pride in race which, in spite of one's professed understanding of the meaning of the concept comes as a shock when clothed in such terms as "those of us who have the good fortune to be Negroes"—particularly when one's self is the only unfortunate person present. They are, however, friendly towards the white members of the faculty who have the good fortune to the development of the racial consciousness of the Negroes, and frankly discuss the delicate points of the Garvey undertaking with them. Those few with the intelligent interests are the Liberals of the ideology, but they also so few that their position is hardly worth mentioning. They see the possibility of racial conflict if the Caucasians attempt to destroy Garvism. They see, however, that Garvay is only attempting to put into practice what both Booker T. Washington and W. E. R. DuBois have preached in quite different language, that the future of the Negro depends upon his self-immersion himself, whether on a Southern farm or at lavar or in Africa. He must be of importance economically before he can be of importance socially and politically. The antithesis of this stand was brought out by the ministers at the conference. It is one of strict conservation. They fear a slinder blot on the new escutcheon of racial pride. They are not unmindful of the injustices which the Negro suffers in America, but they believe that in "due time he will get his rights." They depend too much, perhaps, on the help of northern people, and feel no necessity for a step as radical as that which Garvay advocates. One aged man made an eloquent appeal to the students. Vividly he pictured to the freight barges on the Mississippi in 1885, on which the Negroes, plugs and cattles were stored indiscriminately, the slave market in New Orleans where his and his mother were once sold. With those pictures he contracted modern ones of the Negro opportunities, and concluded with a phrase he had used effectively, as a sort of refrain, throughout his speech. "We ought to be satisfied. God is good." The attitude of the missionaries—those white teachers who are here because they feel it their duty to teach colored youth—is one of the uninformed indifference or one of open dislike and alarm. For the latter they can scarcely be blamed. How could they fulfill the mission which they sincerely believe to be theirs, and which many of them (Continued on page 3) HARLEM HAPPENINGS Tuesday evening, July 5.

CREDITT, FORMERLY OF PHILADELPHIA, DEAD His Remarkable Career as Preacher, Orator, Educator, Political Leader and Business Promoter CHARLES GILPIN WINS SPINGARN MEDAL AWARD The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that the Spingarn Medal has been awarded to Charles Gilpin, the actor, who created the role of Curtis in John Drinkwater's play, "Abraham Lincoln," and the title roles in Eugene O'Nell's play, "The Emperor Jones." The Spingarn Medal is awarded annually "to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor." The donor of the medal is J. E. Spingar, treasurer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Gilpin, whose achievement as an actor was acclaimed publicly when he was chosen by the directors of the Drama League of New York, as one of ten guests of honor to be invited to a dinner in the Hotel McAlpin, was ranked among the following stage people: Lonel Atwill, Glida Varel, Dudley Digges, Lee Simonson, Margaret Severn, Ben Ami, David Belasco and Fred Stone. Gilpin and the other guests were selected by a vote of the Drama League as those who had made the most distinguished contribution to the American stage in 1920. He is the seventh recipient of the Spingarn Medal, his predecessors representing many fields of activity. The first to receive, the medal was H. E. Jentz, to whom it was awarded infinitely for researches in biology. The second Spingarn medallist was Col. Charles Young, to whom it was awarded for research in theology of Liberia. The third was Harry T. Burleigh, composer, for his excellence in the field of creative music. William Stanley Braithwaite, critic and essayist, was awarded the medal in 1910, and Archibald H. Grimka received it in 1919. In 1920 award went to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois for organizing the Pan-African Congress. The committee on award of the Spingarn Medal consists of former President William Howard Taft, Dr. James H. Dillard, Dr. John Hope, Bishop John C. and Owen Garrison Villanueva, Dr. G. Glipin at the twelfth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Detroit, on Thursday, June 30. NHILADELPHA. Pa. June 20.—Rev. Dr. William A. Credit, former pastor of Cherry Street Baptist Church, of Philadelphia, and founder of the Dowington Industrial School, died of high blood pressure and complications in the Mercer Hospital, of Philadelphia, on Tuesday evening, June 27. He was one of the most gifted and versatile men who ever graced a Negro pulpit. Dr. Credit was born in Baltimore, Md., about fifty-seven years ago. His father was a proprious and thrifty citizen. Dr. Credit graduated from Lincoln University and Newton Theological Seminary. He was immediately appointed the pastor of Blessed Basil Church of Washington D.C., and delivered a memorable address at the memorial service in honor of Frederick, Douglas white still, his twentieth. About twenty-five years ago Dr. Cribbit was called to serve Dr. Miller as pastor of the Church Street Baptist Church. With 'the assistance of the late John Trywry, he weaved a magnificent edifice at the corner of Sifontain and Sifontain Avenue, known as the African Baptist Church, and now only pastored by Rev. William H. Harrell. Soon Dr. Cribbit, tapped by the force as a brилиnist, pastorist, and he and Dr. Tinkley 'did the work.' Dr. Cribbit was beamed as a public minister all over the country. He also grew up the annual wedding of Dr. Drago, the brилиnist, in New Jersey, upon his birthday in 1958. He gave away his blessings to many people. PAY NO INCREASES, ADVICE TO TENANTS PAY NO INCREASES, ADVICE TO TENANTS Justice Davies Says They Should Notify Landlords and Rely on Court NEW YORK, June 29.—Justice John R. Davies in the Ninth District Municipal Court yesterday advised tenants who have been notified that the rental on their apartments will be increased to serve notice on the landlord that they will continue to occupy the apartment but will not pay any increase. Justice Davies, "In the event of a request to sign at what is considered by the tenant to be an unfair increase, is for the tenant simply to tell the landlord he intends to remain in the premises, but will not sign any lease at the unfair increased rental, but will leave it to the court to fix the same. The tenant's occupancy will then be protected by the court." He said that the drop in the prices of materials and the cost of labor did not increase. He said the maintenance cost will not be increased. His remarks were called forth in a rent case when he reminded the landlord that the rent laws are effective until November, 1922. Replying to Justice Davies, Stewart Brown, president of the United Real Estate Owners' Association, said last night that many landlords are getting less rent than they are entitled to. "The law clearly provides," he said, "that if they fail to pay the rent that they are entitled to, they must more indulge today getting less than five per cent, not on their investment than are getting more."

Johnson's term at the Leavenworth Prison expires on July 9. of the Panibiyavank Baptist State Convention. With the assistance of M. John H Trower, Dr. Creditif founded the Downtown Normal and Industrial School for Colored Children. With the assistance of M. John Brooks, Dr. Creditif founded a beneficial and industrial organisation. Dr. Creditif entered politics, became a member of the Pennsylvania State Committee and enjoyed the friendship of Senator Panose, Congressman William Vare and State Senator Edward Vare. He was in great demand as a politician. Pursuing a commanding personality, a firing baryton, perfect in civility, intelligence, elation, intelligence, a fund of information and aifiable flow of language, Dr. Creditif could hold audiences spellbound for hours. About six years ago Dr. Creditif assigned the mission of the Cherry Creek Baptist Church, to a difference of opinion between him and John Brooks, the chairman of the Trustee Board regarding our ongoing activities and programmes in the church. Dr. Creditif, brother of the founder in Baltimore in late years, assisted him in his work in Downtown. Dr. Creditif began lessons at the school, a son and brother, to improve his love. He gave his children opportunities. The school offered him lessons from a teacher from the school. He taught his children lessons from a teacher from the school. NEW YORK, June 30—The police today began inquiry into what they think may prove to be a nation-wide propaganda attempt to stir up Negro discontent throughout America and further the cause of "a Soviet Republic of America." Morris Sorner, forty-two, white, of 124 Ludlow street, arrested last night while distributing, it is alleged, offensively the propaganda materials fitted today, the police say, that he had been hired to scatter an appeal headed "The Tulsa Massacre," urging organised force as the only remedy to apply "mobs of business men who outrage the Negroes and workers." He declined to say who hired him. The police also continued a search of the neighborhood of Second Avenue, Fifth and Bintenth, where the incessant leaflets, signed by the "Executive Committee, Communist Party of America," were being distributed. "By the time this is in hand," the circular read, "the whole world will have learned of the borrile massacres of Negroes in Tulsa. "No words are vivid enough to describe the actions of the well-dressed and armed mob of business men who, with automobiles and airplanes, surrounded the Negro quarter of Tulsa on June 1, killed ninety persons and injured more than 200 and made more than 10,000 Negroes homeless. There is only one, appeal to stop the massacre and blight the Negroes' language, that the bloody capitalists of America, can understand in the language of organized power." "Only by force, repressal, by answering force with will, business men and their white guard, the Ke Kluz Klan, etc., be restrained from their assault on the Negroes and the working people." Labor was criticized, for its attitude toward the Negroes, follows: Warga Requisition "We've failed to organize the Negro and refused to treat him as our equal brother. We are to blame. Break down the barriers in the union. Wipe out the color lines. There is only one line we can draw, and that is the class line." Part of the poser dealt with sovietism. It read: "Under the Russian czar the Jews were the victims of rape slaves and pogroms. Workers and peasants overthrow the capitalist government and the soviet government—Only the soviet republic of Russia. Only by following our Russian comrades' example and establishing here the soviet republic of America will the workers, white and black, be able to work in peace and enjoy the fruits of their labor."

The Status of the Negro in English Speaking Countries The Vanished Glory of San Salvador, Capital of Congo Empire We are encouraged to send John Greely Brown in lieu of our contemptible workmate, here it is not for the sake that it is written so observe the laws of Black and White, and the various customs of shade of color, we would not think it worth the dignity of our fellow. What should be the purpose required only of our scholars to be responsible, so dignity which affinity belongs to us rather than to privilege our daily thrills. The best of ourselves, by the part of the Gee, the most noble of things which he has gifted with a lot of useful government and stands in such forward to it as the vulnerable mark that can easily be destroyed. But here is where the quality of the learned gentleman's experience falls to phone. The Negro World is very desirable of placing copies of the paper in the hands of subscribers and agents. In the very nature of the circumstances it must be obvious to our subscribers and agents that it is to our own best interest to do so, and we are putting forth every effort to this end. We are entirely dependent upon the post offices throughout the country for the transmission of papers through the mails. Unfortunately, we exercise no peculiar control over the post offices. Whatever complaints are received in this office of the non-receipt of papers we take the matter up with the Postmaster at New York, who invariably informs us that after some investigation he finds that the papers are being received satisfactorily. Of course, we know only too well that the Post Office Department is not infallible, and very often packages containing the Negro World are unreasonably delayed in some post offices or allowed to milleary. On the other hand, agents and subscribers should be careful to state their names and addresses, giving streets and numbers, when ordering papers or entering subscription. Wherever there is rural free delivery or post office box, give the numbers in every instance. Write your name and address as plainly as you can, have them typewritten or printed if necessary. adult says: "why, in the name of humanity, in the name of Christianity, in the name of that rigid principle, policy, are Negroes to be gibbetted and burnt alive for the murder of white men and the malted, at the worst; only black and impersonal and imprisoned men are burned in them" the sentiments uttered in these days and by Heaven they fit slightly these days right here in our own country. In 1853 Thomas Charlton had to answer the argument that the Colonial slaves were better off than the British peasantry, in which the Jamaica Gatele for June 12 says, among other things: "Milky of the runaway slaves appear to have been branded with the tittails of their owner's names, and other marks on the naked flesh with a heated iron. In the same manner as young hirsues and cattle are branded when they are turned into our torbae. The operation, however, is probably upon a brunet than when performed on one of the human species." And it is not true that the branding of slaves and creations by the English shows that when he bore the external image of a man he was clawed with the beards of the earth." How about that distinguished man, which used to confer for that, colonies, the order of the "diving from collar," which, many slaves were during slavery, during the sunshine and even after 1831? We have a complaint with Mr. Gordon, but for a writer to believe that we can forgive the present advantage we have, gained and are winning by degrees, showing the better appreciation and respect for the people of Negro descent is unstable. What we want is Hamlet with the play, and not as Mr. Gordon would like us to see the play, without the leading character. There was a time when African stood in contrast to the control distribution to white, but today we see white men who are inimical to the home of the black natives known as Africans and Africanders, which, as some support means white and not black, therefore, were we to accede to the idea presented by our Gordon are would be perpetuating our own genes and giving the means of perpetuating oneself as a Berlin, when we are an integral part of the habitations of the earth is common with the whites. It is an abovay tip listen to this propellation, as it is, to read the repeated classification by inference of the word concept black and Negro in the New York. News to say, for intelligent persons colored, for intelligent persons black, leaving out the World Negro's balance, so far as the paper is concerned, it is not objective. But we may seriously ask when is a black man a person of order. The term colored persons may a distinction we used to single out to the ultimate and others from the state black. We still hold, notwithstanding Mr. Gordon, that the word Negro is the best term, technical and otherwise, to be applied to persons of all kind, whether they may able to be equal classification. While in the state No Arbitra they are also held knows the age of the trial negotiations, and the Williams and Lee officials has given to the term Terras Nightmares Above all these the word Negro. His with skilling space and honor as a term back to the country, which is the best-ever, in an unquestionable, it would be best to be about the name and name and name and name to enhance their importance in the world. ```markdown ``` THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1921 San Salvador, capital of the Congo Empire, Discovered as a genuine African city towards the end of the fifteenth, it had in the sixteenth century become the center of a Christian realm under the influence of Portugal and the church whose pump was provisional in Europe for a time, and yet its dignitaries were only native Negroes.

A West Indian Can Without Difficulty Live on a Salary of £120 Per Annum By AN APPLICANT Thrift has its own brother and associate, Economy. In order to maintain a complete economic state, it is necessary that we should consider two of the main factors of life—(1) Individual earnings, (2) Individual expenditure, based on necessities. Instances are so often met with where in undeveloped regions one can practically live on a minimum that it is unnecessary for me to cite a particular example, where it is possible to maintain an equally balanced existence on a minimum expenditure of talent and energy. Viewed from this particular direction, economic conditions in Nigeria, particularly, are synonymous with conditions one would expect to meet with in Africa generally. Beyond certain well-defined areas you will experience these conditions to a more pronounced degree, and the tendency is the further you are removed from the best treet the bearer grows are that life where living loses all of the strengthensures, and is reduced to that freedom we can enjoy admire. It is well for us to hear in mind that these conditions cannot be considered permanent, for the more developed any area becomes, the less chances one has of enjoying that accustomed simplicity of style usually obtaining. It is, however, possible to be within easy reach of places where the inroads of trade have not made an indefible impression, and so obtain the necessities of life in a minimum outlay. For the proposed case I propose taking a mean between the two, so as to enable us to arrive at a satisfactory economic compromise. Cost of living in Nigeria is to an appreciable extent lower than what it is in the West Indies. The high cost of living that took the world by storm during and since the great world war made its presence felt in Nigeria, but thanks to reorganised shipping trade, living there is almost reduced to its pre-war level. It is important to not hesitate in so far as locally obtained materials, such as vegetables, meat, fresh produce and oil, the price, except where there is a keen demand for these purposes, have always been the same. This state is due to the habits of the people, who take for their motto: "Ballad husband." At all seasons of the year it is possible to obtain at each market centre which commodities are yams, potatoe cassava, rice, rice, millet, butter, bread or called yams, tuba, ube, and the sandy rice tuba to comprise the preparation of any dish. Sugar seed not be bought is palatable and cheap, and in Nigeria is much more wholesome to the gourmets than cane sugar. Best sugar is palatable. Fruit, kiwi, canned peaches, preserves, and all important beverages are to be had, and in almost all distances the prices are fully his per best, rather than in the West Indian. Remember that while you know your own names and addresses, we do not know them unless they can be easily accertained from your letters.

LETTERS AND MONEY ORDERS BRUCE GRIT Letters intended for the Negro World should be addressed BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN A gentleman from one of the West India islands told us recently that in a conversation with a white American in which the African invasion of Harlem was the principal topic of discussion, that the American had said to him "It is only a matter of a few years when all the Negroes of Harlem who now occupy some of the finest residence in this section will be driven out of these homes by the colonists and trade." Negrene have been driven from many sections of New York City in the past fifty years in which it was believed they were permanently established, why not Harlem? We have no serious reply to make to that peripetic beggar who calls himself an African prince, one Madarican Denilny, other than the following from an African gentleman, resident in Lagos, who is acquainted with the habits of the critter and know that he is an impostor and no prince. Real African princes are not beggar, and we do not intend to lend him our aid in advertising himself in such public prints as delight to publish his incoherent rot and blackmudism. Our notions of princes are that they are gentlemen possessing at least some culture and refinement, and to whom the language of the gutter and the bar room is an utter stranger. This is the case with the princes with assistance of his employer, in whose hands he seems to be as putty, written himself down a garresal am, and has cheapened the title of "Prince" by his unwarranted usage of it to obtain mossy from gullible people too bugy or charitable to investigate the scampe and swindlers who too often separate them from their coin. The letter follows: Lagos, W. C. A., May 10, 1921. Will write you a long letter by next mail and call you all you desire to know. Madarikan Denil, prince, is not known here in Lagos nor in Nigeria. He is some impostor traveling under an alias. The word Madarikan in Toruha means a medicine. Will send you some of it for your pastifice or "Prince" so you can turn him into a frog. He is not as bad as his bark indicates. Yours. "The man who shirks from opposition must fall in the end. All great deeds are accomplished in the face of opposition. If a man would possess a fortune or reach a high attainment in learning or art, it must be acquired by tong and patient application. All distinguished achievements of whatever kind must be sought and agonised for; and it is often necessary for us to march over the frozen mountains, through blinding storms and trackless ways to our success in the sunny valleys beyond. It is well, therefore, to have a purpose in life and follow that purpose to the end." Several of our local orators have spoken their thought on the Tulsa race riot, man fashion, and there are thousands of Negroes who feel and think as they do as to the remedy for outbreaks like that at Tulsa. The retrain of the Ashanti war song is: The American Negro is going forward in spite of hell, and he is going to die defending his rights, his life and his property. If the laws of this country do not protect him against the mob he can do so other than protect himself. He realizes the gravity of the situation and he does not fear to die in defense of his life his home and his rights. Would white men do otherwise if conditions were reversed? If Negroes roasted white men at the beating well in mind the necessities for some. It is generally agreed that a West Indian in Nigeria can without difficulty live on a salary of £15 per annum. Quarters are supplied by the Railway, but in places where this is not the case a house allowance of £15 per annum is granted. Employees on the constitutional or the work that entails traveling from point to point on the lines are given an allowance varying according to grade and like of duty. Free medical attendance, and local yearly leave are granted. An immediate discharge, though, will be in the prescribed form to The Times newspaper. If I go forward I die!

I think they would and that when they got the chances they would murder every Negro in sight. That is the way of the white man, we are apt pupils. I recently saw a white man do a thing I have never seen a Negro do it happened on a Lenox avenue subway train during the rush hour. A Negro entered the train at Fulton street and sat down in the vacant seat opposite this white person. The Negro had a toothpick in his mouth when he entered the car, one end of which he was chewing. He opened his evening paper, still chewing the toothpick, and then he spat the toothpick out of his mouth to the floor. The white man, who had been eyesing him for some reason best known to himself, reached over and, tapping him on the knee with the end of his cane, asked him if he didn't know that it was against the rules of the company and the Board of Health to spit on the floor or platforms of these cars. "I haven't spat on the floor of this car," "Yes, you did; I saw you," and the white man. "Where did I spit?" asked the colored man. The white man pointed to the toothpick. The colored man laughed in his face. I had to laugh a little myself, as I think I understood the psychology of the incident. The white man felt a proprietary interest in the company and that he beats a white citizen was an offender of the law. Negroes are not permitted to feel this way. Please remove your chapeau and bravely Secretary of Interior Fail—and for this reason. Sometimes in May I may the Negro World, the first paper in Harlem, announced the appointment by the Secretary of the Interior of Loutt H. O. Flipper to an important post in the Interior Department, and ten occasion to compliment both the Secretary and his apprentice; the one for recognizing the worth of an able and competent and thoroughly experienced man, the other for his good fortune in being designated for such a responsible post. Well some weeks ago Mr. Flipper went into action, and as he entered the room, in the Interior Department, which is to be his future official habitat, the white clerks who are to serve under him, rose in a body when they saw their covered chief and left the room. Outside they organized a committee to notify the Secretary that there must be some mistake, that he had placed a Negro instead of a white man as their chief; also that they could not work under, nor with him. Oh, no, not take him away. The protest was in writing and was delivered by one of the group and was delivered. The Secretary looked it over carefully, the Secretary had finished its personnel, remarked to the messenger of the offended, Ladise and gents who have to work for the government for a living, say to your committees that I shall re- Specialist for 28 Years to The Negro World and not to or to individuals.

Mr. Wipper will not be transferred or removed to gratify their wish. Good day, sir." Secretary Fall has the kind of gift we like to read about. He has shown himself a MAN. and we like to honor a MAN. "We are today greatly in need of a vigilance committee, as though the treasury was being hosted by direct theft," extract of letter from Mr Samuel Untermerter to Nathan Hirsch. We agree with Mr. Untermerter, and we hope that a vigilance committee will materialize soon and begin its work on the thieving landlords and landlords of Harlem, white and black, who are protesting with a vengeance, and the martelliness of hardened pickpockets. We know and have heard of instances where these people are charging tenants rooms as high as $14 per week for empty rooms in houses which five years ago rented for $80 per month. If this isn't downright robbery what is it Will some hostel landlords or landlady tell us? The people who are paying these exorbitant rent should organize at once and present their grievances to the Untermerter Committee, which is going after the thieves high up, and will some day reach the Harlem branch of plunderers who are plucking the public like pickpockets without rhyme or reason. One of the perforid orators at a recent meeting of the African Blood Brotherhood in this city to protest the Tula race riot said in the course of his address: "We can well dispense with white leadership in our organizations. Too many organizations, such as the National Association for the Advancement of Negroes, with Negro membership are controlled by whites. Intensively, the white people will not permit Negroes they control to bring their social problems to the front." This is hard on the N. A. A. C. P., but it is nevertheless true. White leadership of Negro organizations serves as a check to Negro aspiration and initiative. White leaders will not lead the Negro to manhood and independence past prejudices of the white race. White leadership, political or civic, of Negro organizations is an "agreement with death, and a covenant with Hell. Even greeks have one of these leaders, and would make an unsafe and uncertain leader of rats, and a fox could hardly be trusted to lead barnyard fowl. Nobody has ever heard of a Negro leader for white organizations, why should there be white leaders for Negro organizations, religious, secular or other BLACK STAR LINE, INC.

SWINGING OF THE PENDULUM AT HARDING'S speech at Chester to university, wherein he stressed the great intention for Negroes to the end that it quickly to come into their rights, and the administration to make no appointment have to be submitted to the Senate to indicate what is back of the white man at the pendulum is swinging the other of Negro in the politest language at his practical and useful kind, so that in the than he is at present for the responsible enacting duties of office holding. The declared purpose not to nominate Negro administration requiring Senatorial appointees and still is some deep thinking about Negro and how he will be disposed of. It is a practical hint which Negro of, and they should go to it will which now only a limited number can have another angle to this problem, which solution by the persistency of the Negro uses and factions, thus making it easy to anything it wishes to, to prevent their exhibition. The Negro organized is a politically, he is a political puppet. A nation with a central head like the A. F. of Negro and respect from political leaders. A. F. of L. does from the capitalistic side between the followers of Gompers and Johnson, et al., in the black race, location in the mass, or among the leaders, are not so particular about the education he is going to vote. The Negro is anything politically, will have to reorganize petty grafting local leader, recognition-wide political union for purpriety; this is done; the pendulum will be so always the polley of those who informed in their quest for it by the way Negroes will learn political senses. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. THE SWINGING OF THE PENDULUM PRESIDENT HARDING'S speech at Chester to the students of Lincoln University, wherein he stressed the great need of thorough education for Negroes to the end that its possession will enable them more quickly to come into their rights, and the recent alleged decision of his administration to make no appointments of Negroes, whose names will have to be submitted to the Senate for confirmation, are straws which indicate what is back of the white man's mind right about now, and that the pendulum is swinging the other way. The President has told the Negro in the politest language at his command to get education of the practical and useful kind, so that in the future he will be better prepared than he is at present for the responsible duties of citizenship and the exacting duties of office holding. The Chester address and the recently declared purpose not to nominate Negroes for high offices under his administration requiring Senatorial approval, discovers to us that there has been and still is some deep thinking being done on the subject of the Negro and how he will be disposed of in the general scheme of government. It is a practical hint which Negroes should not fail to take advantage of, and they should go to it with determination to meet the tests which now only a limited number can meet creditably and well. There is still another angle to this problem, which has been made more difficult of solution by the persistence of the Negroes themselves to divide up into classes and factions, thus making it easy for any administration to put over anything it wishes to, to prevent them from attaining the goal of their ambition. The Negro organized is a power; disorganized, as the row is politically, he is a political puppet. A nation-wide organization of Negroes with a central head like the A. F. of L. can command as much consideration and respect from political leaders, Presidents and Governors as the A. F. of L. does from the capitalistic element throughout the world. As between the followers of Gompers and the followers of the Andersons, Johnsons, et al., in the black race, honors are even in the matter of education in the mass, or among the leaders of these groups. Political managers are not so particular about the education of the voter as they are about how he is going to vote. The Negro in America, if he has not amount to anything politically, will have to reorganize the present system, squelch the petty grafting local leader, recognize a central head, and establish a nation-wide political union for purposes of offense and defenses. What this is done, the pendulum will swing backward. Divide and rule is now as always the policy of those who want power, and they are reinforced in their quest for it by the forces they have divided. Some day Negroes will learn political sense. They are too influential now. A PRINCE INCOGNITO old in the Bible to beware least we are. And when the New York, Bk. Bld. Philadelphia divisions of the U.

A. convention of 1920, little did they know that they had a real prince in their midst. They thought that they were aiding the son of a petty and insignificant African chief who was stranded 6,000 miles away from home who was living from hand to mouth. But this Madarikan chief says that he is a distinguished member of the royal African society, that he has cousins and close personal friends on the Gold Coast who are millionaires, and that he brands the U. N. I. A. members from the gattered and from whom he solicited financial aid for six years as children and grandchildren of white folks' slaves. Now Madderikan Deniliy may be the august prince that he claims to know if so, why doesn't he travel with the trappings of royalty when traveling like a bugging jacking preacher? If he has such friends and relatives on the Gold Coast, why don't they send him a ship of thousand of English pounds sterling annually so that he can go to the Welderi Astoria, New York, and Hotel Arlington, and then join the Liberian legion? Why don't they send him a private house between Seventh and Eighth aviations, with secretaries and servants instead of rooming in a the word not be deceived.

Creditt of Philadelphia, Pa., removes from the scene one of the most brilliant men who ever graced the Negro pulpit. An estimate of him as a preacher, orator, educator, political leader and business man will appear in the Negro World next week. At the same time we will comment on the sermon of Bishop Wm. H. Heard at the Flushing conference. Dr. Credit possessed a commanding personality and was a man of great capacity both as a preacher, orator and organizer. His executive and administrative ability matched his unique gifts as a pulpitee. And yet there was tragedy in his devotion to political and educational work, causing him to gradually lose his grip on the church whose membership he swelled and whose magnificent edifice he constructed. And that perhaps hastened his death. We are so carried away by spectacular pulpit performances that we are inlined to underrate the work of men like the late Dr. Dixon of Brooklyn, the late Dr. Reeves of Philadelphia, Dr. Francis J. Grimke of Washington, D. C., and Dr. Hutchins Bishop of New York City, who can pastor a large congregation from thirty-five to fifty years. A minister who can remain in one community for thirty-five, forty and fifty years and maintain its respect indicates that he has an unusual amount of common sense and strength of character. We hope that the time will come when more Negro congregations will honor aged pastors and remember what their brain power, personality and character, when they were in their prime, did to give the church prestige and standing. Had Dr. Creditt devoted his entire energies to his church work, as these four men did, he would have remained as pastor of the Cherry Street Baptist Church until his death. But like Rev. Dr Matthew Anderson, pastor of the Berean Presbyterian Church, Dr Creditt was one of those capable, ambitious and energetic characters whose work and influence extended beyond the walls of their churches. CORRESPONDENCE RACIAL STATUS --- June 10, 1921. To the Editor of the Negro World. Dear Sir:—For some reason or another I feel like expressing my sentiments on the racial status through the columns of your great paper, which I read every week and have come to regard as an asset, for in its columns one finds hope, cheer, repose and consolation. The contents of its news pages are sound in every particular; the right advice being given at the right time, in the right place, in the right way and by the right man, Marcus Garvey. I have always believed that it is a matter impossible for our race (the Negro) to work out its destiny here, and the more I read the advices of Mr. Garvey and his able staff of workers the more I become convinced that I am right in my conclusions. I came to this city (Chicago) about the 20th of last October directly from Camden, Ark. having read in the Chicago Defender and the Crisis, as well as other race papers printed in the North of the fair and just treatment accorded our people up here in the North, so I came to cast my lot in this part of the country, where a Negro could feel himself free and live unmolested in his pursuit of happiness. I was not here but a very short white till I was convinced that I had swapped the devil for the switch. Just as much prejudice exists here as anywhere in the South, and not only that but it is constantly increasing when the Nrage race in this country will be driven as cattle to the slaughter. Every symptom points to this: the harried, prejudice as I said, is increasing by bounds. The situation is simply a slumbering volcano that must and will eventually burst. It took a Daniel to read to King Nebuchadnaxar the handwriting on the wall, and it takes Marcus Garvey, through the direction of our God, to read the signs of the coming times. I had the pleasure to hear a speech delivered by His Excellency Marcus Garvey during his last visit to this city. The logic of that great speech rings and burns within my soul now. He spoke with deep emphasis, brave fearless and with buildog tenacity. The thing about his speech that deeply impressed me was the fact that he did not crest a single joke nor was there to be a scan on his face a sign of a fearlessness. He thereby his deep earnestness, sheerity, profoundness and honesty of purpose and that his very soul is in the great work he has shouldered to carry to success. That kind of speeches, when made with cinnamon hags, a religious heart and an unpolluted mouth, are the only ones that count. During and before the last great war we were told by our co-educated leaders that we must play our part in the conflict and give freely our blood on the fields of France, the out of it all we would achieve our rights and have to be given full freedom as American citizens, because people would be wiped out, people and love would reign in the hearts of all men, and that we would be known, we more as "migrers," "hijkers," "bobbin," "baskets," and "shiples," but we would be regarded and respected as full-fledged Americans, as soldiers in the battle police" of our boys valiantly died by thousands on the bloody fields of France, fighting for what, had so far proven to be an unrighteous democracy. Peace is applauded. being given hemp rope. fire. flames. riffle balls, bombs from airplanes, together with the renewed degrees that we shall not live. This is the pay for the part we played in the last war. Our very government stands by and looks on with an air of seeming indifference. . . . Where are those sane prophets of ours that predicted so much for us! Will they come forth now and make it all plain to us? They could only shamefully point to the wanton destruction of property and lives of our defenseless people, and yet these same men stand up and tell us that we must live here beside our white fees regardless of conditions. Shall we render up all hope, pride, self-respect and our manhood because these impostors indirectly advise so to do? Shall we be simple enough to further take and accept such teachings from a class of men that have for those many years, made us their prey. We have in most of the men that are prating themselves at leaders of our people as deadly enemies as any individual or body of men ever beheaded us. In all the years past and in time of wars and persecution meted out to us by our white oppressors, where in the Negro, or body of Negros, that has made any attempt to come to our rescue; what plans have they devised to which we may be in some way lifted from our tortures, what feeling have they manifested? Absolutely none! The only thing they are doing and have been doing is agitating, talking through their hats, elooting hot airworkers only for notoriously. If even the ministers of God had their soul right with God and were honest to their fellow man and to their God they would let their voices sing out in defence of this defenseless race of ours; but no, they seem to be afraid to cry, against the wrongs being caused to people. I heard a minister remark in an interview long ago in speaking of the attraction of people. "Let them lynch you, they mobbed Christ." This kind of advice and teaching from the church of God and from the "bite" Negros of this country is what largely brings upon us such heilish treatment as we are receiving. When we, as common people, will begin to think of ourselves, ferret out for ourselves the men that we can trust to advise us, pick the men who are worthy of our support, whether he be speaker, doctor, lawyer, teacher or politician, then and not until then will we begin to go forward. The time has come that we must no longer take men at their words, but rather for them to stand and do, for there are many that want to be a part of our God that there is one who undertrying circumstances, many disguises, opposed by hell itself, with joys of our "big impostors" setting all manner of tricks to overthrow his purposes and his plans, is still pressing on turning on the light, holding the conscience of His people with a firm grip and declaring by all the gods that he will succeed. He to whom I refer is that mathematic leader, the apostle of righteousness, able statesman and prophet of God—Marus Gavry, A. SWELLLE 216 N. Wood at Chicago, IL. VALOR OF TULSA NEGROES COMMENDED --- Edith of the Negro World. Date: Sir: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words on the "Two Advises to Negroes." Of space of the conversation term Mr. Hortice's advice in his speech as the Liberty League on June 8. I must thank them. of the Negro World both sides of the story. I must also command Mr. Harrison for his fatherly and almost timely advice to the helpless law-abiding Negroes of America. As Mr H is able to point out so many lies in the reports of these papers, I can hardly see the possibilities of these papers expecting us to pay any notice to their views of Mr H's speech. Fifty Negroes armed themselves to protect a helpless brother from a set of uncivilized white savages in Tulsa. This was wrong, or would be wrong. If these fifty men were in the north perhaps where there is a little Justice. But in the South these white savages are able to form a mob in the Gourhouse and, although the judge had to leave the bench to protect the Negro prisoner that these white savages about to devour him had asked to kill, they still take in the matter, said he had no intentions of taking any steps (or words to that effect). For this reason I say I see nothing wrong of these fifty Negroes keeping guard over the life of a helpless Negro in jail in Tulsa, or anywhere else down South. If they did not who would? I guess the home guards who set fire to the homes of these Negroes would. On a whole if fifty white men had done this "patrol" the papers would have nothing to say against them, so when they say it would have been wrong if it was done by white men one need not go far to know if the white writer speaks what he means. If the white men had got on the scene first there would be no need for them to make a "patrol" as the door of the cell in which this Negro is would be opened with joy and nothing would be known or heard of him until the plenice of the savages was over. Why was every Negro disarmed and whites left armed? Because a Negro had no right to defend himself against a white man who takes to take his life. There is a more law-abiding people than the Negro. A thousand times no I am afraid he is trampled the world over, because he is known to be too law-abiding and harmless. Livington, the white explorer, was able to go in Africa unarmed, because the Africans are not such great savages as the white man tries to make them. Livington was able to go through wild Africa unarmed. Yet Dr Arthur Jackson was shot down by a 12-year-old white savage wrench in civilised (7) America when he left the basement of his burnt hands in the air and defended with both hands in the air and no sorry this poor, harmless doctor did. A more many part when he knew his life was in such a danger. The poor doctor was too law abiding to defend his own死 life against a "private army" of white unclevilled brutes. The home guards, the two airplanes and those who gave the order to disarm every Negro and leave them to the merry of these lawless whites who were left armed will settle the argument of Mr H and the white friends of the Negroes and give the answer to who have the best advice—Mr H, or the white papers? In conclusion, I hope the Negress in America will see that lynching and all the wrongs they suffer from the whites will stop when they are able to defend themselves against the wrong the white lawless people pour on them I do hope these good white newspapers will use their vacant spaces in waging a campaign that the churches will send all the missionaries they can down South as the South needs them more than Africa Livingston was able to walk unarmed in wild (?) Africa, while Dr Arthur Jackson and other defenseless men, women and children were not allowed to leave alive their burning homes in good old civilized (?) South of the divided or United (?) States of America over which a Christian and civilized President rules Thank you for space Mr Editor, I am yours respectfully, LA-C FLYNN Guantanamo, Cuba June 25, 1921 DU BOIS AND GARVEY Editor of The Negro World Sir-Kindly allow me a small space in your splendid weekly to express my gratitude for your masterly article in The Negro World of the 3d inst. Your article is a crushing reply to the assumptions of the learned Dr Dubois and a demand from him to "show me the goods." Dr Dubois is as far from the Hon Marcus Garvey as Thyssen was from being a beauty. The two characters are irreconcilable. Dr Dubois was in still the object of elemsmaryn; Garvey owes his position to his indomitable courage and clear vision. Dubois began; Garvey demands. Dubois whines when an affront Garvey demands unconditional withdrawal. These two characters are antipode to each other. Dubois' attacks on Garvey are due to Garvey contesting successfully to Negro leadership of America and the World. Dubois was pitcherized to the Negro leadership by white philanthropists; Garvey was elected by the united voice of the Negroes of the world. Dubois is editor of the Crisis, that records the "deeds of the Darfur Race." Tet for two years he called intentionally to record the Garvey movement, which has revolutionized the outlook on the Negro; a movement which fell on the chancelleries of Europe like a bombhall, causing a reshuffling of cards, and it even went further, by disturbing the equilibrium of the imperturbable John Bull. There is not one leading paper or magazine that has not written seriously on the Garvey movement. Everybody knows that the Pan-African Congress is a colonial force. The Pan-African Congress may be likened to a convention of lame-sided people by Irving Wives. That the Pan-African Congress of the World is a self-determined and self-valiant people is expected by all authorities and leaders from the West. to enavigate the possibility of a reunion of Negroes unde mea, figs shows a wonderful vision. The reunion may take decades, nay, centuries, but it will some. We are irresistible moving to that end, and it is only the午日眼 eye, the fossil and the messiace that fall to apprehend the change. The clarion call of nationality resounded from the four corners of the earth during the great war it found an echo in the heart of every true Negro. We are a race and demand to be treated as such. And by God's help and Garvey's leadership we shall continue to fight for our heritage, even though it cost us our best Truly yours. THOMAS J DILLON JACK DEMPSEY AND THE COLOR LINE The Editor. Dear Sir--Permit me a short space in your columns of the Negro World. Just a few months ago I recollected reading that Jack Dempsey has drawn the color line, by assaying that he will not accept a challenge from a colored boxer, and to the contrary the French Georges Carpentier stated should he become holder of the world's title, will accept any challenge, irrespective of color. Carpentier has shown the spirit by engaging colored sparring partners. But Dempsey, after battering all of them to nothing, remarked that he desires those of the ducky type, as they are tough and harder. Quite naturally one can see plainly why he has drawn the color line when it comes to risking his title. Eventually he has with him now about three Negro heavyweights. MESSAGE FROM BUFFALO Editor Negro World As I sit in deep meditation trying to reach some feasible solution of the great problems of the Negro race my mind becomes confused when I try to suppress the plans that you have adopted for the expansion and redemption of the entire Negro race. Conditions have become so critical that unless we combine our forces for the gigantic movement we must be present we will be forced to remain in the muddy trenches of defeat. We know that you are fostering a good cause, that you have created the greatest movement that was ever organised by a human being You undoubtedly have had a forestate of progressive citizenship, and for anyone to attempt to evade these facts is to crucify a righteous cause afresh, putting truth to an open shame. We clearly understand why the so-called leaders of our race are fighting the Marcus Gay movement. It is because they have a lucrative field in which to operate among the illiterate class of our people. Those villains have preached a doctrine of humiliation and faithful service and have been the nation's possession of country our people have become the spied and are living under the oppression of actual slavery. Regardless of all the propaganda that is being perpetrated against your movement, we feel assured in saying that truth crushed to earth shall rise again. JAMES G SHELLMAN. 438 Woodward Ave. Buffalo, N Y RACIAL EXPERIENCE To the Editor of the Negro World: Sir.—I am indeed interested in this race march and I do hereby beg of you space in your journal to express my experience. In the first place, there is a large percentage of the Negro race who have not yet grasped this movement in its right sense. Some of our people are moving along with it as it is it merely a benvolent society. Some have joined because they hear that seventy-five dollars will be given to bury them when they lie lifeless. Some have joined because their ability reflects an influence on some of our people and affords them the opportunity to become officers. Some have joined because they think that captive some intelligence serves to captivate some of the people in the community and that they can have their things our own way. Some of us have taught the spirit, as it came like whitewright to rove some Negro out of his slumber, we have opened our eyes and looked at the salvation. Some are so dead that their eyes refuse to be opened even though their fellowmen are trying to open them, as they can not open their own eyes, or will not. But the Negro who has a live spirit and a quick dexterity eyes must jump to his heels as the whirlwind passes over him. And seizing his fellowmen ascending the heights with His Excellency, Marcus Garvey at the top, soaring through the universe, he is compelled to fall in the line. Other races are in the heights since civilization has taken a foothold, and the Negro has been given a tall heavy enough to keep him down in the dust and gashes, but the Almighty has caused a whirlwind to be in getting, and move the Negroes to sweep off the dust, turn them over, break off the tails of those who had live spirits, and they have sprouted to their heels and are in the flight. The heavy load Negroes with their weighty tales ("although they have felt the breeze"), are saying to themselves that it is not possible for the race to elevate. But we want such Negroes to understand that a man can be what he will, and he will be what he wants to be. Saying that we use Negroes and do not consider the situation of the Negroes should be considered. - better not to utter such expressions, because the Negro is for aspiration. As one writer says that the Negro has only half a chance in this industrial and commercial world, and he is plunging forward, and it is a surety if he gets a whose chance the world will have to stay to one side, or, in other words, the other races will have to draw to one side and give him the middle of the road. Follow man, I beseech you to catch hold of this race consciousness. Don't be hypocrites, for you will be deceiving yourself. Grasp with truth the golden opportunity offers itself to you for the benefit of those coming after. Let us build a firm foundation. We will not all rope, but let us do our part in planting. Some may think that we will all be elevated, and individually it will never be so. We must all wake up, and those who are too heavy to jump and whose bones are too stiff to move on their bit by pushing the movable ones on to the success of so that we as a race, like other races created by the Omnipotent hand, will be legally admired and respected. --- We have been seris and poors for hundreds of years. Now is our chance to take the bat in hand and score the our side. Keep your wrist, look steadily on the bowler, and with the help of God you will not every ball to the boundary line. Remember we have opponents who will try all endeavors to knock down our wickets, and should we lose this game it will be a hard time for us after. Fellow men, don't be false hearted; don't be creeks minded, be earnest, respect yourselves, and others will respect you. If you as a Negro believe that there is no aspiration for you, then surely you won't sit yourself for a betterment and those who have you under foot will think nothing more of you. You will not be the face of the other races is not the place for you you will put forth all efforts to get out from under and stand alongside as they won't be able to keep you down any longer As I have said before, some of us have not yet graped the right thing. This is an improvement association, and it simply means that those who are able to go swiftly and firm and masterly must impart their knowledge to those who are less cultured. We may all have enthusiastic spirit, but Improvement means building up, it means making good better and better best. It does not mean that those who think they are intelligent must trample and thrust aside the willing and hardworking ones who are less cultured. Not like what took place in our division among a clique of men who wanted to be administrators and chiefs and from this tribe burned the brush plowed the land and sowed the seed of the U N L A. They then came in and said that the seed was now well sown and tried all endearers to crush the plant, so that they could repaint this field and be called the sowers. When Mrs. Theodora Thomas came from across the seas and preached the doctrine of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. on the streets and corners these men were all here and possessed of the knowledge of this movement, but they never attempted to start such a work, and now that this good lady has established the U. N. L. A. they feel that she should not have had that fame. They tried in every way, but did not succeed, until last of all their plans worked out to their desire under the judgment of His Grace Rev. Dr. James H. McCarthy, the last returned to complete the work some were disappointed in their expectations. Even then there was not due satisfaction, but as he ruled, we were subordinates. God is working out all injustice, and there is one example. The leader of the once opposing group, who is one of the permanent officers, "in the presence of His Excellency Hom. Marcus Gervarez" tote from his bosom the colors of the U. N. L. A. and throw them away. His Excellency saw the action, and authorised the president of the division to have the individual straightened up. This case will certify my former remarks, that some only want to be head of affairs, but have not the true spirit of helpfulness. Let us be sincere in our help to this movement, and let us be the leader of the good will be true to us. Give all our God to help this movement, individually as well as collectively, and the day will come when we shall reach to our desired haven. And let us remember that heights that great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, "white their companions slept," were rolling upwards in the night. And the lives of those great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave 'hind us footprints on the sands of time. With regret I announce the death of our second ex-president, who was hurried into eternity on the 7th inst., crushed to death by a train. We mourn our dear brother, and tended our sympathy, by his bursed family. The deceased, John Henry, was elected president and served one month in the office and resigned owing to ill health. Thanking you in advance, sir, for the space, I am. HOLY HOLY Owing to the hard work to get Mr Hubert Harrison's "With the sc contributing Editor" did not arrive in time. It will appear next week.

Pledged that true to you ever I'll stand. Africa' Africa' to help make you grand— Grand among men and grand unto God Sacred your winds and your sun and your sod. Sacred your women, your children and men. Never to be in dread bondage again! Sacred your soil whose winds we will free From all other flags which not brotherly be.

I love your palms; I love your storms and I love your calms I love your mountains and rivers and plains. I love your flag and will keep it from stains. I love your oceans with their tropic embrace. But better than all I love your Black Face: Its eyes are alight with the grandeur of man. Majestic love's righteousness rules in each plan For building a nation, the grandest and best Which Freedom, all holy, has loved and caressed: With the glory of God that face is aglow. And the glory of man its shinings now show. Its black grace of God will hallow the world Wherever its flag of the free is un- furled. Africa' Africa' you have been wronged. The greedy of all lands your spaces have thronged. They've stolen your treasures with brutalized might. They've cruelly murdered all justice and right. They've tortured your children, your women outraged. They've lusted and tortured and murdered and caged And piled up a treasure which a just God will blight And blast in His wrath when triumphs His right. His trumpet is sounding and Europe has felt The sting of His lash, the ache of its welt. Already His call's in the heart of his blacks.

Here there is sacrifice, here there is toll, Blood sweat and thorns and the cross on the hill; But the after-death glory the whole world will fill. For Africa, Africa is God's chosen one To help build the new earth and light the new sun; Come, lay its foundations deep in the earth; The muscles may moan, but the heart will have mirth As its swelling dome lifts to be kissed by the sky Where Africa's flag forever will fly Africa' Africa! we live but for you! You will only live, to that life we are true! We'll build you a nation which honors not death, Breathing life and good will with each loving breath. Where love is the law of the land and the right Shall be tested and proven in Love's gentle light; There a child will be holy, a mother revered And man unto man be a neighbor endeared; There we're leaving no room for envy and hate.

OPPORTUNITY By William Melmes They do me wrong who say I come no more When once I call and fall to find you in. For every day I stand outside your door And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win. Weep not for precious chances passed away. Weep not for golden ages on the wane. Each night I burn the records of the day. At sunrise every soul is born again. Dost thou behold thy earnings, all aghast! Dost feel from righteous retribution's blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past And find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell! Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven. Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell. Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped: To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb. My judgments seal the dead past with its dead. But never bind a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, wring not your hand and weep. I lend my arm to all who say "I can." No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep. But yet might rise and be again a man. If sleeping, wake! It is the hour of fate! Come with us now and join our happy band. Be sure you come before it be too late. And let us march into our mother land. REFLECTIONS OF MY AFRIC'S HOME By JEREMIAH MONTAGUE, Central Boston Banes Division, Cuba I When shall mine eyes that beautiful land behold? So green in verdure, rich with wealth untold. Upon her bosom I would rest content. Than here in foreign lands my life to spend. II A night of long three hundred years is spent. And still no place is found to pitch my tent; A star of hope is risen in the East. That points us to the land of joy and peace. III Our aged heads are bowed with grief and pain. Our lives we gave in battle but in vain. For freedom's right we surely must contend. Tis holy writ God is the black man's friend. Ere lay my head upon the lap of Earth. I hope to know that land of highest worth. Where freedom's banner waved in times of old. And glittering sunbeams shone o'er sands of gold. The star that led the Magi to the Savior fair In human form to Negroes doth appear. With beams of light to guide our weary ways In these fair confines of descending days.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1821 1 2 3 "WHAT AMERICANS WANT" The Negroes of the good dog kind, Adult in years, but child in mind, Who fought in all the wars she ever did win. And remains patriotic though she lynches his kin. Who mostly takes a kick or cuff, And never fails to believe a bluff; For when can the Republican party come in power. It promises him a square deal every hour. Who hurries to the white man's call. Abides in him and tells him all. He believes that the Black man ne'er can rule. That God made them for the white man's tool. The kind that has distaste for school, Just glad to live and be a fool. This is what America likes. For she fears the Negro in his might. The Negro with no choice or taste. Who lives and diss a "human waste." That follows in the Klu Klux track. And America will they not be driven back. Who shrinks and cringes like a cur. Quick with his "Yes, mam'a" and "Yes, Sub'a." This makes safe the Jimcrow car; America knows what the reasons are. Negro professors in Negro schools Teach Black boys to be fools. That all is great the white man's done, And black is only to be shunned. For there is no honor to be won. For blacks have nothing ever done. He says, "Be contented with the worst". Put God last, and the white man first H. W. STIRBY. A MESSAGE FROM THE BLACK BELT Ephraim, I'm lonely And I am sore oppressed: If you would drop a line to me I would be cheered and blest.

THE BLACK BRUTE I wonder where the Black Brute is— I haven't seen him yet; But White P-utes are as thick as flies When days are damp and wet. Who was the Black Brute in New York Who saved from fiery death His Anglo-Saxon brother, At risk of his own breath? They say the Black Brute must be downed— So they buy kerosene And pour it over everything That's black that may be seen. For Anglo-Saxons have told lies All for the devil's sake! But this lie told about Black Brutes Must surely take the cake. I went to church not long ago— A trembling Black Brute told How Springfield had him in the oil. The lad was young and bold, And tears of sorrow stained his chock As he called on his God To liberate his outraged race Burned on a freeman's sod. White men have told the Black Brute lie Until they believe it's so: For I have looked into the truth And speak as one who knows. But if I have to take my chance Between the Black and White, Give me the Black Belt for my zone. However dark the night.

ASSURE DOMINICANS OF U. S. GOOD FAITH Natives to Take Part in Coming Negotiations WASHINGTON, June 80—Reassurances of the intention of the United States to deal honorably with the people of the Dominican Republic were contained in an official statement issued by the American legation at Santo Domingo and made public here by the State Department. The legation was instructed to issue the statement because of "the evident misunderstanding" in the republic regarding the provisions of the proposed convention of evacuation as outlined in the proclamation of the military governor on June 14. The statement de-lared that Dominicans will have their part in the negotiations and that their representatives will be named by the Dominican Congress as soon as it is elected. Ratification of the acts of military government provided for in the proclamation was explained as a measure to insure primarily re-ognition by the newly constituted government of the validity of the financial obligation; incurred by the military government. It was pointed out that this stipulation should not be construed as meaning that the United States insists upon the approval by the Dominican government of every executive order issued by the military government. Extension of the powers of the general receiver of customs to the collection of internal revenues in case the executive revenues are insufficient to meet the public debt, it was added, was merely "a further guarantee for the proper security of the final loan of IF U DON'T C CONQUIS DR.

BLACK STAR LINE PASSENGERS AND FREIGHT BOOK YOUR PASSAGE NOW SPACE IS LIMITED A man claiming to be PRINCE MADARIKAN DENIKAN alleged to be a native prince of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, is travelling through the United States, lecturing to corporate people and asking for financial help. This man appeared at Liberty Hall, New York, some months ago and received --- Such recourses as the recent one in Tulsa renders the development of endurable relations between the whites and Negroes of this country impossible forever. We might realize that peaceful relations between the two races are absolutely necessary for the welfare of this country. We have here over ten million Negroes, and we cannot get rid of them in the way attempted in Tulsa. Brutalist; and bestiality cannot be cured by new brutalities and beastialities. The whites give a very poor proof of their civilization by hanging, shooting and burning Negroes without discrimination, only because some individual Negro has given way to brutal instincts. They thereby show that civilization is only superficial and thin. The white cannot recognize the Negro as their equals and undoubtedly the black race, in many respects, is inferior to the white. But it remains a fact that the white and black must live in this country side by side. All, or almost all, race riots have revealed one very regrettable fact, namely, that the local authorities do not display enough courage and determination in quelling such riots. This was manifest during the race riots in Duluth, and it seems that the authorities at Tulsa have not allowed more efficiency. It is very hard to believe that the whites really would enjoy such crimes, but their passions can temporarily be exhibited to any outrages by conscienceless scoundrels—Palvalenti (Pinnish). Duluth. DR. BYRD'S GREAT VICTORY Our Dr. Wm. A. Byrd attended the recent Presbyterian General Assembly which met at Winona Lake, Indiana, May 17, and was chosen by a Presbytery (white) and commissioned to make a fight for the blotting out of the color-board of the Presbyterian Church, so that all races should share alike at the hands of the church. He went to the Assembly and made the fight and we are pleased to report that he was abundantly successful. That body of one thousand delegates and visitors responded "with a vengeance" to his plea and sent him back home with their approval resting upon his labors. The only fly in the ointment, Dr. Byrd says, was the cringing attitude of certain men of the race from the South who do not yet seem to know that they are free. Their swordy plies applied them, nothing, however, as the Assembly with a crushful vote ordered the committee to report a merger forever doing away with color distinctions and also doing away with waste and overlapping in the church's work. Good! for Dr. Byrd. "The race needs more of his kind—Melvand Gazette." The meeting here of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gives Detroit a sublime to pould, if we can force our minds by a hard task in this weather. Throughout the South the association is blamed for the "arrogance" of people, and its representatives have been assaulted and driven from southeastern communities. There are few full-blooded Africans in this country, and it is safe to say that among the leaders of the N. A. A. they are few, if any, who can claim a well-educated, teaching undiluted back to school experience. By those who admire Negro characters, nothing is more depressing than the gripping of the race to get away further still. In many Negro publications the word Negro is not used. Rather "Liberian," and other euphonies are employed; the expression of much moral pride is seldom encountered. However of the Negro to be sometimes also than Negro should not express the contempt of any thoughtful South man. Oppression, prejudice, exertion have driven the Negro to take the very name of his race. The entry of a man like Dr. Duval who is a Negro only by a small amount of his total heredity, is痛苦 less than tragic. His spirit and his not lasting place; he laments a certain kind of understanding and understanding. their own life endured in part con- sidered given more than the Negro is able to prove to endure in the most be- given regions of the South. He has had, however, to pride of race and, since the Haitian world often denying their humanity, human right, never has been so defended. "I am a Jew!" He has made his use to advise the Negro. He admires America is beyond the limit of even the most self-confident person; he advice given to him is unremarkable of acceptance. And he self-esteem to attempt to ad- dress of while men who bring their own point radical phase of their government. Perhaps the to be abundantly financed. Within a fortnight hundreds of pamphlets have been distributed in Champaign county, the sole aim of which is to engender hatred of the Jew. By distortion of certain facts, by suppression of certain other facts, by deft phrase and innuendo, the attempt it made to poison many minds. The Protections of the Elders of Zion, of which so much is made, are forgeries and are shown to be such on their very face. Edmund Burke said long ago. You cannot indict an entire race. There are good Jews. And there are bad Jews. Just as there are good gentiles. And there are bad gentiles Character is persona. Even if it could be shown that there is a larger percentage of racists among the Jews than among other races, we still would be dut) bound to record justice to those Jews who are upright and God fearing. Race prejudice is born of ignorance and selfishness. It hattens in the dark it shuns the sunlight of fearless investigation. It bodes no good to this republic. When we drop such offensive epithets as Sheeney and Dago we shall be a great deal nearer the realization of American ideals than we are today. As one American citizen I wish to register my protest against the vicious propaganda that is being carried on today. We who are so deeply indebted to Israel ought to be swift to do justice to the children of Abraham. The Christ who many of us profess to worship was a Jew on the human side. The most cherished ideals of humanity came to us through this people, to whom were committed the oracles of God." The venerable Schelermacher once held a copy of the New Testament in his hand as he said to his class in the university. Gentlemen, this little book contains more that is of value to humanity than all the other writings of antiquity put together." Be it remembered that every book in the New Testament was written by a Jew. We are finding today that much of our beat light on the social questions of the hour comes to us from the Hebrew Propheta. I would be the last to excuse or condone the faults of any Jew. But I do insist that vises are not race-lined. They are human. The Jew would resent pity. He does not need charity. Today he does need and we ought to give him justice.—Jewish Chronicle. JEWS NOT A RACIAL UNIT There is no unity of opinion about political affairs, among Jews any more than there, in among Methodism on Episcopalians. The Jews are a religious group and not a nation. That they are not a national unit in the world is shown by the fact that more than half a million Jews fall in the war for freedom in the uniform of almost every nation that fought at all. And the selfish Jew exploits the Jew, exactly as he does the Christian, when he has the chance. When we come to study the history of the Jews the striking fact, after their unity and persistence in blood and culture. There are black Jews as well as white. The majority of the Jews of the world are now in Eastern Europe. And at least a large minority of these Russian and Polish Jews are now Jewish in blood at all. They are the descendants of a Mongol people, the Chazara, who set up their kingdom in Southern Russia and were converted to Judaism about the time of Charlemagne. Judaism has so long ceased to be a proselytizing faith that we forget its past history which, in connection with extra-racial intermarriage, has given its followers such astonishing various physical types—Jewish Chronicle. MARCUS GARVEY We have been hearing a lot about Mr. Marcus Garvey recently. He is the head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This gentleman really wishes to improve the status of his people. He has started a steamship company and advises black men to buy shares and to save money and so become men of means. The cry is, Wake up, Ethiopia. We agree with saving money. We hope many a man in this colony who works for good money will save some of it. Squandermania seems to be rampant everywhere. Our experience is that very few black men do save, and we have had 20 years' experience. There is too much drinking and spreading, chambering and wantonness. Street corner orators are giving the people a wrong impression of Mr. Garvey. They give the people the impression that if they want to progress they must have as little as possible to do with religion. In the Negro World recently we saw Mr. Garvey advising his people to build on a religious foundation. A man can't be a real man without religion. Then there is the cry "Back to Africa." Very good. But if any man wants to get back to Africa to live (he doubt they mean to Liberia), although the government of this republic offers to give settlers ten acres of land, let them who go see that they, have their savings, in their pocket, for to arrive in a strange land without money to start work in a job. Emigrants will hit the dust, see very hard days, till both time as their land can be sufficiently developed to support them. In Liberia there is a church in communion with ours. It was started from America, and they now have a Messiah with the Apocalypse successor; they have many priests, and we believe the dissolving bodies of Christians are good, preserved here. These should contain here are Messiahs. Their hearts, when they are dissolved, will all be preserved. If they go to Liberia, with regard to THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1921 pan into the fire." Men can't do without religion At street corners one often hears "What has the church done for you? Nothing at all." The church is the kingdom of God. It was not started on the day of Pentecost to put monks into pockets. The existence of education in the colony is due to the initiation of the religious bodies, due to their care for the people. In any out-of-the-way place where a school has been started religion was at the bottom. In Uganda today 1000000 of the people would not be able to read and write had it not been for church schools. Uganda is in Africa. When a man wants to talk to intelligent people let him give even the devil his due. The church ministers to men's souls and advises them about their earthly well-being but it is well nigh as hard to make people have a mind to become independent citizens by education and thrift as it is to remove Kaiteur to Africa.

JEWISH SCIENTISTS ASSISTED COLUMBUS IN LAND DISCOVERY Jewish financiers and Jewish scientists made possible the discovery of America by Columbus, and a Jew was the first known European to set foot on American soil, according to the Rev. Dr William H Morgan, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Baltimore, Md. "The Jews convinced Vasco De Gama of the possibility of sailing around the Cape of Good Hope, and thus helped to revolutionize commerce." Dr Morgan said. "Jewish scientists predicted the success of the first voyage of Columbus. It was mainly through the knowledge, labor and generosity of a few Spanish Jews that America was discovered. Industrial and Commercial Development are the basis of success for any people. The advantages and money-making possibilities of the Black Star Line to the race are so great that you cannot afford to be without stocks in this Corporation. "Columbus studied the astronomical work of Abraham Ibn Era, who was influential in giving direction to the ideas of the great discoverer. The instrument which Columbus used on his voyage was 'Jacob's staff,' a sea quadrant invented by another Jew, Levi Ben Gerson by name. Abraham Zacuto invented ..... instrument for determining latitude by using the altitude of the polar star, which is the star with two neighboring tables, was the naval equipment of Columbus. Jehuda Cresques, known as the 'Mah Jaw,' furnished the mahs used on the voyage. ```markdown ``` "Among the men who accompanied Columbus were six Jews, including an interpreter, a doctor and a surgeon. Louis De Torre, the interpreter, was the first European to tread American soil. The whole expedition was made possible by the generosity of two court Jews, Louis De Stantangel and Gabriel Sanches, who advanced a sum equal to $160,000. So it was not the Jewels of Isabella but the Jews of Spain who opened up the new world."—Jewish Chronicle. FITS THE BLACK STAR LINE, Inc.

FOR SALE THE NATIVE LIBERIANS AS I KNOW THEM Their Customs, Traditions and Modes of Living—Being an Answer to Bishop Overs' Attack Upon Liberian Civilization By Wheeler Slippard (Speaker and Lecturer on the Blessings of the U. N. I. A.), Formerly an African Sailor, Soldier, Trader, Prospector and All-Round Adventurer—Author of the Lecture, "The Africans as I Saw Them," and "Garvey Ameng Other Leaders of Humanity" (Attached to the Pittsburgh Division of the U. N. I. A.). Editor of The Negro World: — Please grant me a brief hearing as a reply to Bishop Overs' false accusations on Liberian civilization. Having carefully read and noted the Bishop's indictments, which, by the bye, are simply a reminder of the rigor of judgment, though it is a duty of number upon me, out of respect for truth a sake. If not my own personal African experiences, to put the much esteemed Bishop right, that if he should take a notion to write anything else on Liberia or the Liberians, he will know how to begin the last time. As you know, it was the Bishop, and not I, who gave the challenge, and, sir, when men give challenges they ought at least be men enough to take the cdnsequences. That's my—not a little but a plenty. And I do. What shall I say about it? I verily believe it is always best to be honest. Very well. It may be proper to state, to begin with, that while a sailor in the African coast-wise trade, and a Liberian trader, prospector and adventurer during President Barclay's administration, I made Monrovia, capital of Liberia, my hand-quarters, just a few miles up the Saint Paul River. I was six long years it. Liberia, and as a globe trotter I have ever been a keen observer, and this holds good with respect to my Liberian experience. in fact I have traveled, read and observed much, and forgotten nothing, and with this in mind I am willing to match my worldly experience against the education of any and all college graduates that the higher institutions of learning can ever hope of producing, and when I have done with this investigation I defy any man or body of men, to refute what I here my down. So say I now, and so help me God! I now return to the order of my subject, or rather subjects. During the progress of this investigation I shall not consider the geographical features of the Libarian Republic, as every American school-boy ought to know them; I shall, therefore, confine myself wholly to the various questions in dispute—The native Liberians as I know them, their customs, traditions and modes of living," of which I shall, from out of the whole, extract and treat upon the following already discussed but unsettled questions; namely Does slavery exist in Liberia? Does polygamy prevail? Does cannibalism predominate? These are the summary questions in vogue. I now come more readily to the point. The population that goes to make up Liberia may be divided and subdivided into six distinct tribes, namely; The Kuo Boye' Tribe, which occupy a large strip of territory along the coast of Liberia secondly the Vey Tribe, third) the Grebe Tribe, the Gu Tribe, and sixthly the American-Liberian Tribe which if you please, constitute the ruling or governing faction. During my six years' sojourn throughout the Republic of Liberia, I fraternized freely with these six distinct tribes, closely observing and commodes of living, and now like in all paring their customs, traditions and other parts of Africa where I have been. I finally arrived at the fixed conclusion, that the white robbers, both at home and in Africa, are doing their utmost in spreading their false propaganda to discourage foreign Negroes from returning to their motherland, in hopes, as a matter of course, that rich prize—Africa may fall an easy prey to the greedy, grasping whites. I know the dodge, but they don't ally it over on me. And Bibhoo Ower's propaganda is no exception to the general rule. Bishop Overs only stands for a white man Africa, and in order to make good at the game he begins with a perjury—well, yes, a downright lie—he often successfully him to produce the proof by visible evidence as to the contrary. A thing that everybody is required to believe requires a much stronger proof that one's naked words, and as the Negro public's visibility is the only evidence that could give sanction to Bishop Overs' indictments against the true customs, traditions and modes of living of native Liberians, the whole of his indictments fall to the ground because that visible evidence was never given. Let the good Bishop produce his visible evidence by an ocular and manual demonstration if he is its sippee and would have a rational world to believe his accusations, and 'until he does produce the real goods I will not, for my own personal experience forbids me not to believe him, and the reason is equally as good for me, and for every other Negro of the matter-of-fact kind. Let then the honest prelate show down. Putting aside everything that might gnite laughter by its absurdity, or detestation by its profaneness, and confining ourselves merely to an examination of the part; it is impossible to conceive a story more derogatory to the Liberian civilization, more insignificant with its wisdom, more contradictory to its power, than is this story fabricated by: this great expounder of truth (so-called). As for the first: Dee slavery exist among the native Liberians? I answer—not in the sense that we in deeming call chattel slavery. There is, like, standing, not sitting, customary. among all Mohommedan African tribes, that in case of indebtedness those natives under such obligation can, if they like (but there is no compulsory act to the system), hire out their offsprings or members to the debtors until they are able otherwise to meet their obligations in cattle, swine, cloth, beads, ivory, hides or any other article or articles that go to make up their original standard currency. This same method of slavery if I may be permitted to call it by the name of slavery) was even practised by the whites in the early history of the American colonies. Deny this, if you can, my dear Bishop. But under this African system, here is no slave pens,闸闸 blocks, no swiping posts, hard task masters, lacering of blacks, or, the phrases, "God placed a curse upon you." "He made you inferior to me" and "Servant be obedient unto your master," as has been the usage under the white Christians' brutal system of downnight chattel slavery. Oh, no, far from it. Under this native African system, one is so well treated that he or she could not be convinced that they were slaves in the white man's sanaa of speaking. These so-called native slaves can come and go whenever they please and there are no questions on the part of the so-called masters as to "where you been? Who told you to go? Who gave you permission to leave?" It is, in short, simply a matter of a friendly native custom—a contract; and mutual understanding between all parties concerned, and, finally, when the debt has been paid, which, of course, does not run into years, the so-called slave or slaves are permitted to go their way. By the way of comparison, what can any person who thinks place against this mild and humane system? Confessedly nothing. So much then for the first question. Come we now to the consideration of the second: Does polygamy prevail? Let me first answer this question by asking one or two: Did Mormonism ever prevail in these United States? Did not Brigham Young himself divide his love with as many as fifteen wives? Consult the history of Utah. And is it not equally true that bigamy is practiced upon a large scale even to this very day in all so-called civilized and Christianized countries? I say itself; then it is somewhat strange that these critics must leave their native american and European homes to go to far away Africa to find fault with her and her business prior to putting their own domestic affairs in order. True, quite true, that the gative Liberians practice polygamy more or less, as it is one of the many prevailing customs of Mohammedanism, but let us not lose sight of the fact that polygamy is no worse than Mormonism, and not one half as bad as bigamy. But as to one Liberian native man possessing 850 wives—it has, I hold, the same old common white man's fault—it is a confounded li made out of whole cloth, and, here again. I defy the Bishop to back up his assertions with visible evidence; we have his statements, but his visible facts are still absent, and without his visible facts, his case along with his 850 wives would be thrown out of a court of justice. The whole fact of the master is, this so-called slavery and polygamy in Liberia are practiced on such a small scale that none but an exceptional keen observer could detect them. Thus much for question two. We now come down to the third and last: Does cannibalism predominate? Not 'o my knowledge of association it doesn't Hum! Cannibalism! What fools do these false white people's propaganda make of my people. As in the two foraging instances the question naturally comes back home. Let this so-called disciple of Christ prove his cannibal story by no other force than visibility. While making history for my book entitled "My African Adventures," I was obliged to take snap-shots along my line of march in order to convince my readers by the way of my illustrated book that I was giving them facts, and not theories or something to guess at and be mistaken. Where, then, I ask, is Bishop Overs' illustrations to his pen pictures showing these Liberian native cannibals feasting upon human flesh, not their own offspring? Come show down; I'll have nothing less. But what is more strange, if not marvellous, is the fact that the much learned Bishop had failed to tell us as to which tribe out of the six that is given to devouring human flesh, and, for the want of more direct evidence in defense of his cause, which he could not furnish, he therefore, endeavored to dispose of the whole question in his favor, by a single dash of the pen—that cannibal exists among the Liberian natives. But it won't do. But as imagination will always supply all cases of deficiencies we may suspect, if we please, that it is some unknown cannibal tribe in Liberia, and, as suppositions count for nothing where visible facts are opencerned, the Bishop had better keep silent altogether. It is a profound mystery to me that these reporters of African cannibalism always managed to escape the pot. Were there a particle of truth to their stories these Africans would have eaten themselves out of existence agree ago. Had these so-called Liberian cannibals shared Bishop Overy, killed, dressed and beheaded him down to a alimentary stew, we would, then, have every reason to believe that they were capable of devouring their own flesh and blood, because to be able to stomach a Christian Mishap would enable one to swallow anything. It is no difficult thing to tell. But it is impossible nothing short of a miracle to support the claim that the pot was a stove. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1921 good against itself. That there is a country in Africa called by the white man as Cannibalism, is what I have no doubt of; it is a geographical fact, but as for the inhabitants of said country dwelling one another that, I hold, is altogether another thing, which, like the Bishop's man, has yet to be proven by an ocular and manual demonstration. But, like all the rest of these white man's false reports relative to the Negro at home and abroad, this African cannibalism is nothing new. Admitting now just for the sake of the case, that Bishop Overs had been in the midst of the African wild at any reasonable length of time, does it. I ask, look reasonable to any thinking tribes of Liberia should have spared the Bishop to tell the tale? I think not, for a cannibal's stomach has no respect for even a Christian Bishop. To say that a foreigner can live, as long as the Bishop has, among thousands of vicious and relentless hungry savage cannibals without so much as receiving a single injury, let alone being devoured, is indeed, a very fecile expression of truth. Hence, the very one (and a so-called Christian, too) who should have told the Negro abroad the moral truth with respect to Africa and things pertaining or appertaining to it, has instead advanced a cold-blooded lie. Of course, anything at all in order to deceive the foreign Negroes as to the true conditions of Africa as a medium TO PREVENT THEM FROM EMIGRATING THERETO. This, then, is the phase of the whole scheme. But this is not the end of the mischief. What is said of the Africans is equally said against the American Negroes. As you know, we are generally put down by the whites as savishers, black flends incarnate and brutes in human form. Well enough, then, do I remember the awkward position in which we Negro soldiers were placed upon our arrival in the Philippine Islands. The white troopers were stationed in the Islands long before the advent of the Negro soldiers; but, on hearing that the Negro soldiers were en route to the Philippines to do their share of foreign service, the whites at once began to fill the native islanders heads with stuff and nonsense with respect to the Negro soldiers. We were badly misrepresented from every viewpoint. They, the whites, entered the natives' huts and gave out vague reports about us, saying, in part, that the American nigger cannibal soldiers were coming over to steal their women, eat their pinkaninnies and if cohabitation should take place, the women would give birth to grinning devils with large circular horns, batilike wings, forklike tongues, brightly polished copperlike hoofs and long sweeping tails tapering off like arrow-tips. Now, this is no hashed up affair on my part as some would believe. It is an unimpeachable truth—one that had been whispered in my ears time and again by no less authority than the Filipino themselves—men, women and children alike. And for further information I would kindly refer my readers to any of the former Negro soldiers who had seen service in the Far East. Of course, by not knowing our true customs, traditions and modes of living, the native islanders took the fable as granted until they became better acquainted with us. And then what? The white slandersers simply fell victim to their own follies and lies. More than all, the Negroes and Malays soon became fast friends, to say the least of the fact that the boys in black framed a monopoly on the beilles throughout the islands to the profound dismay of the white. As with the Filipinos in this case, it is now left to the foreign Negroes to define the truth, the whole truth and nothing else but the truth, as to the African's true customs, traditions and modes of living—not by believing everything said by the white man, but by actually bringing themselves in close touch with the Africans. This, then, is the way I got my position. Books and maps are a source of education. I admit, but we can only acquire complete knowledge by the force of travelling. Sensing is believing; using is proof; whatever the eyes behold the heart is bound to believe. Therefore, to say that a certain thing existed without being in possession of the visible proof of its existence would be an improvement on the play of a child that hides himself and then cries out "Nobody can find me!" Nobody can find Bishop Overs' Liberian native cannibals, either. And since this is a fact, the very arguments that the Bishop has advanced in his favor are the strongest points against him. Having now disposed of the three moots questions to the Bishop's injury, we will now proceed. in short, to the consideration* of that all-absorbing thought—Liberian Civilization. Liberian Independence Only within the last few years, when Liberia's independence was threatened by powerful European nations, did the United States assume that much needed guardianship over her offspring—Liberia. And as for responsible and irresponsable characters, Liberia has far more of such people among her two millions than what Ohio's four LOOK!! Do you want to save money?

A. leaving words: "The lives one of these superior writers who endangered to give black humanity by terror in- spired of reason!" I have been, at last, reached my goal: I have gone through all the subjects opened for discussion and settlement, of which Bishop Overs had improved the Negro World as a means of truth, and I have, beyond a shadow of doubt, detected and proved the falshood of the impostions. The evidence that I have produced to prove that the Bishop is without authority, will, while it wounds the stubbornness of the Bishop, relieve and tranquilize the minds of millions of Negroes. It will, at least, free them from all those will, at least, free them from their heritage: Mother Africa and their native man and his which fairly and native white had infused into their native white in order to rob them of that precious rock from which they were African—aid, which stood in everlasting opposition to their fixed determination to strike in their heroic endeavors to seek a place of refuge in their own dear Motherland, and forever be free and independent from beneath the brutal white man's rule. It is always necessary that the means that are to accomplish an end be equal to the accomplishment of that end, or the end can not be accomplished. And as the Bishop has failed to produce his visible evidence, the only force that could possible make his indications true bills against his imaginary cannibals, there remains nothing to his side of the question but a jumble of stories, fables, and traditionary or invented absurdities, or of downright lies. He is now in the same position of the man who awaits for and against, in which either case convicts him of perjury, and equally destroys reputation. If, in conclusion, Bishop Ours' usefulness is dispensed with in Liberia, it is not that have been used to convict him more than extracted the evidence from the confused mass of matter with which it is missed, and arranged that evidence in a point of light to be clearly seen and easily comprehended, and having done this, I now leave the Bishop and his spurious indications repose sweetly in the arms of their nurses and both together be forgotten. Let now the good Bishop reply, if he dare, and I shall gladly meet him upon his own field of battle—Africa—and destroy him with his own weapons—the pen.

In territory Liberia is about the size of my native State of Ohio and not less than the area of Pennsylvania. We were to take the town of Hamilton, Ohio, or any city boasting of sixty thousand inhabitants, and equally divide this population of sixty thousand pioneers into about a dozen settlements along the banks of the Ohio River, and were then to scatter about the whole State of Ohio clusters of native African villages aggregating two million tutored Africans, each independent tribe speaking six distinct languages and recognizing no other authority except their own tribal governments, we would then have something of a marked comparison of the Liberian civilization. If, now, these sixty thousand colonists sprinkled at various points along the banks of the Ohio River declared their new country and its native tribes as a nation and free and independent people, think—yes, just think—what a tremendous burden these two million original native Africans would be upon the shoulders of sixty thousand civilized settlers who had taken over the reigns of government! Sixty thousand Americo-Liberians enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the midst of two millions of tutored savages and cannibals (so-called). Now, in the name of commonsense, I appeal to reason—is this not a proof of a higher order of civilization, when all is considered fairly and squarely* Liberia elects a President, Vice-President, Senators and Representatives. Its President has a Cabinet, of which each member has his own department of government. it maintains a Supreme Court, also with a bench of judges, moreover, it has consuls, of which some have won diplomatic fame in many of the nations of the earth.

Previous to the day of their arrival words were received; that they will be at Marcane on the first train. Though rainy it was, three horses were immediately sent out with a delegation of six officers, who awaited their arrival. As they arrived they were greeted and immediately probeded to the lady treasurer's home. Mrs. Maud Seuter. While at home many members of the division took a walkover to behold His Grace, as after times; they were informed that he is expected to pay us a visit, and never did come. Precisely at 7 p. m. they proceeded to Lichfield Hall for the first time. Although heavy showers of rain fell, yet Liberty Hall was filled to hear the thundering, voices of these professional officers from the parent body. Never was "Marcus in his gloom as that night; every one just eager to hear these noble men. The meeting was then called to order by Mr George Scott Anderson. He spoke as follows: "Officers, Members, also Spiders, it is known that under Charter 287, of the U. N. L. A. and A. U.

"From Greenland for Mountain." At the closing of this the chaplain, Mr. J. Warren, lead us in prayer. God of right, sir. While all was seated the president gave an open address to all, dealing chiefly on Heavenly and earthly beings. His address was quite impressive, and every Negro who was hopping away from this great movement would immediately enroll their names as members of this great association. At the ending of his warm salutation they came a great applause. He then proceeded to read an address of welcome in Garith of the officers and members, to His Grace and the professional officers from the parent body, reading as follows: Welcome! - Welcome! - Welcome!

He first quoted Marcus Garvey as the "Negro Moses," a forerunner for the Negroes who are preparing the way for the four hundred million Negroes. (Cheera.) He further dwelt chiefly on Biblical history Everyone felt very good that he could continue for hours, but owing to the lengthy speakers he had to stop. The next speaker was the organizer, Mr. Charles Francis. In introducing the organizer to the chair, the President addressed him as follows. To the Right Hon Charles Francis, organizer of the Marcane local branch of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. you are always longing to hear your voice. (Cheera.) This true Negro arose from his seat whilst showering claps from the hands were given by the house. He then addressed the audience as follows: To the Rt. Hon. Dr George Alexander McGuire, Chaplain General; honorable professional officers of the parent body, members and officers of the Marcane local branch, also friends, greetings to all. I am again proud to be with you, more so to behold the Aaron of our race. (Cheera.) The Hon.

(Applause). We know that every nation has a flag, but we have none, no at this moment we are looking for ours, which is Africa. (Applause.) No Negro should complain, but put your shoulders to the wheel to support this great movement. (Applause.) At the conclusion of his address His Grace the Chaplain General shook hands with this true Negro, Mr. Charles Francis, organiser for the Marcane local branch. A cornet solo was then rendered by Mr. E. Morales, High Commissioner for Cuba. Congratulations were given to him by the President for this solo. The next speaker was the Hon. Arnold Cunning, Dr. I.

At this moment the man of the hour has just arrived. The Chaplain General began. Here he gave his address, commencing as follows: To the Rt.

He then explained Red Black and Green Red for sacrifice, Black for our race and Green for the green land of promise. (Cheers) The U N J A welcomes you all in this order. He then shook hands with them and said Rule. Rule. Ethiopia' He further explained that Germany gives iron crosses, England Victoria crosses, but the U N J A gives the cross of African Redemption. (Cheers) Three cheers were then given to these knights. Each of these knights delivered short addresses informing the audience that they are proud of the order in which they now belong. He appealed for members and friends to buy loan as so to make Monrovia a bigger town, but in the future it will be called 'Garvey's Town'. The High Commissioner again spoke, telling the audience that every nation is proud of its color. The white man, the Chinese and others are proud, so the Negroes should be proud also (Cheera) A collection was then taken up, when $24 was given. The choir rendered a song, "O God of Heaven and Earth and Sea" Growing late, the High Commissioner addressed the Cubans, also the French people. At this moment His Grace gave a final address, thanking all the ladies who have worked so hard, and that as long as life lasts Marcane will ever be remembered. A song was then, endered by the choir, "Hark, "is the Shepherd's Voice I Hear" The Negroes' national anthem was then sung, followed by the benediction from the chaplain HEZEKIAH A GILROY.

Meeting open by singing the hymn for our mass meeting, "Shine On Eternal Light." after a prayer was read by our Hon. R. E Riley, D. I N C. Then, our regular opening ode was next sung, "From Greenland Icy Mountain." Then the chairman introduced Hon R. E Riley, D. I N C., as first speaker for the evening, who took for his subject "Africa the Land of the Blacks," keeping the audience spellbound for about 45 minutes, when the house truly was awakened to a consciousness of race pride. He also impressed deeply on the members to buy shares in the Black Star Line Corporation, when one member came forward ard. bought two shares cash. Next speaker was A. Francis, local organizer of the same division, who took for his subject "True Religion" showing to our hearers that the U. N. I.

The chairman then introduced Mr Henry Rayside, whose subject was "This Is a Time of Reconstruction," who used great emphasis asking the members to dig down deep in their pockets and buy shares in the Black Star Line Corporation. Mr. Briggs Williams, of New Waterford, was next speaker. His subject was "The Possibility of the Negroes Becoming a Nation" by following the Carver movement and buying shares in the Black Star Star Corporation and get ships like the other fellow, his subject being short but impressive. After a thrilling and interesting meeting with a large gathering our meetup came to a close by singing our closing hymn "Onward Christian Soldier." Then a prayer from our ritual was heartily rendered for our P. G. Marrs Carver, the executive staff and our ships at sea and the Universal Negro Impairment Association. The Epistleant anthem was sung, all the members coming to attention, after which our Man. R. E. Hiley, D. L. N. C., was applauded by, a white woman saying, "Oh, God, I wish was black." On the following day, May 25, a dance was given under the attic of the U. N. A.

He was received by the following Mr George Bertima Primo, President Georgetown Branch, Mr Ernst Montague Seaton, Secretary Local Division Mr Joseph Clayman, member, and others too numerous to mention.

The committee of ladies mentioned above were able to obtain an interview with the mayor of this city when all other bodies were turned down by him on the same question. They held his attention for fully two hours and when they left him they were assured of his support. They then drew up a protest which was presented to all the churches clubs and associations of the city and with the aid of the weekly meetings of the U N I A & A C L they were able to enroll quite a number of supporters. They further interviewed Mr Lyons French divisional commander of the American Legion This gentleman also promised them his support as also did our worthy District Attorneys Matthew Brady Our ladies not satisfied with more promises accompanied the gentlemen mentioned above to the Board of Supervarsors on Monday June 13, calling said board's attention to the loyalty of the Negro in this city and the entire country, also of the part he played in the world a war. The brilliant speeches of the above-named colored gentlemen moved the entire audience and the Supervarsors to such an extent, that it was unanimously voted that a copy of the City Ordinance be sent to every theatre in the city pertaining to the reproduction of such pictures as the "Clanman" also calling the attention of the Chief of Police to this CLERKS.

ROGERS UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION At the meeting held at Dyre Hall on Thursday evening, with that in connection with the U. R. L. A., of which there is a local branch, the principal speaker for the occasion was the Rt. Hon. Dr. Twitl, leader of the Eastern Division of the West Indies and South America, who is on an official visit to the colony. In the courses of his address the doctor said he was much impressed with the magnificence of the colony. He was also greatly surprised at the monster audience he had seen that night, which told him that they were really interested in the movement. He asked to be allowed to convey the greetings of the parent association and other allied branches in the United States of America to the local branch. He was very pleased, indeed, to visit the colony which could boast of such a large number of birth mark of the Negro race, and he thought that with the exception of the United States of America there was no other place where there were so many distinguished and professional man of the race. The great God, in fulfilment of the prophecy that "Ethioth shall stretch forth her hands to God," had surveyed the North, the East, the West and then the South, and there in the island of Jamaica he focused his telescope on the humble man Marcus Garvey, and selected him, though significant, to the Moses of the Negro race. There and then he throw himself into his appointed mission and organized an association known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Africa Communities League. Men in America ventured the opinion that the movement could not succeed and even went the length to affirm that Garvey was a madman. Well, if a madman could in the space of three years put four ships on the sea and bring together such a tremendous number of the Negro race, then he was quite satisfied to follow that madman. (Hear, hear!) Last Year's Convention At the last convention of the association, held on August 8, last year, in the hall in Madison Square, New York, U. B. A., in the building which was registered to hold 50,000 persons and was filled to its utmost capacity, a large number having to contient themselves with standing accommodations, so were present 20,000 delegates from all parts of the world. When the 9,500 members from the Philadelphia branch, of which Dr. Fraser is the organizer, came thundering into the city the spectacle was most grand to behold. So overwhelmingly great was the procession that marched through the city that all traffic had to be suspended for over two hours and police supervision, including white and Negro officers, helped to prevent any undue interruption. There were twelve hands of music attached to the Association present, and so preponderous was the mass of the people that the strangers were inadmissible throughout the great procession. "Is this the *wrh* of a *madman*?" asked the doctor. "Well, he repeated. I am prepared to follow such a madman." He would state for their information that the word "Marcus" meant by hammering down the wall of opposition, he was hammering down the wall of prejudice; he was hammering down the wall that separated the began from Africa from time immemorial, in order to allow her sons and daughters to march in it. It had been said that the Negro had no history. That was manifestly untrue. There was a Nelson and a Bonaparte, but there was also a Frederick Douglass, a Paul Lawrie Dinahf and a L'Overture. Universities would be established in Africa and the history of the race would be handed down to posterity. Garvey Hidlened at Outset Although Marcus Garvey had been much ridiculed at the outset there were now many prominent white men in America who were blindly disposed towards the movement. (Hear, hear.) The association had come to stay and despite its many detractors it would move on to final triumph. When they could dry up the waters of the ocean; when they could count the number of grains of sand on the seashore, or tell the number of the twining stars that shine in the heavens, then and not till then, would the movement be doomed to failure. Association's Object He was present there that night not to make any specific address, but to address them generally on the aims and objects of the association. He had spanned two weeks in Barbados and intended spending the same period of time here, when from time to time he would lecture to them on various subjects touching the race. His first lecture would be entitled "Africa's Contribution to Civilization" the time and place being announced in due course. The doctor then read the aims and objects of the association, chief among them being "to work for better conditions in all Negro communities," the motto of the association being: "One God, One Aim, One Destiny." Referring to the labor union, he said it was a very useful institution, but the association was more than the union inasmuch as it protected the union and strove for better conditions in all Negro communities. He paid a glowing tribute to the Union Jack and said that they owed a debt of gratitude to Great Britain for having given them Liberty Hall. But that freedom and that liberty were only of a partial nature, and that they desired was distinct freedom and distinct liberty. That was one of the aims of the association. The Negro had fought in the recent war in Flanders, France, Mozambique and Egypt, and the B. W. L. regiment was present at the call of the Holy City of Jerusalem. That city had been returned to the slave and its warifiable that the race had had the privilege to witness such an occurrence. As a race they must unite, and by measuring up to the requisite standard of development demand possession of their fatherland, Africa. Unity Urged He was not advising them to abuse or decry the white man, for nowhere in the aims and objects of the association which he had read to them was there to be found anything pointing in that direction. They were to hand themselves together as a race which numbered four hundred million strong, and after having measured up he was perfectly sure that free and undisturbed possession of Africa would be given them; that it would not be nec- THE NEIGHO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1832 memory to give the speed of capable companiments to anglers the desired and. Else development and nothing also was required. PRESTON DIVISION NO. 54, U. N. L. A. Preston part in the development We are and a Citic Destination The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League was like an avalanche, rolling down a meandering a granite boulder which galvanized increasing impatiens as it ascended in accordance with the law regulating bodies in motion, and anyone who dared to obstruct its passage would certainly be crushed to the brink by tremendous impact ("Hear, man!"). He was sorry injured so that there was much more distraction in the race than in the Nigeria. The Nigeria who happened to be a bit lighter in completion than his brother felt that the latter was not his equal and the Negro who was darker but had more of this world’s gods and had risen to the highest ridge of the jadder thought he was better than his other brother. It was a must regretable feature. It should never be a question of chocolate black or brown black but a question of all being Negroes members of the African race. ("Hear, hear, hear!"). He only knew five races in the world which is comprised of Caucasians, Eurasians, Mongolians, Negroes and the Red Indians of America. If an individual did not belong to any of the four races than he or she was certainly a Negro. He would tell them that in America the man who was observed to have the slightest bit of African blood coursing through his veins was regarded as a Negro, however fair his completion. That should be the universal law. As he looked around the table he observed there was an absence of many high men of the race, although invitations had been issued to them. Some of them, however, had sent apologies for their absence, but the greater part had entirely ignored the invitation. Perhaps it was the class distinction referred to and the question of the white black man or the big black man. (Voices: "Truth, truth.") Peshing Into the Future The next conflict would be among the races of the world and when that threat of a no-race war would have to cast in its lot the rights of right, not as a more fighter but as a nized and distinct ally under the Red, Black and Green banner of Africa. ("Hear, hear.") He called upon them one and all who were not members to join up and then support the movement so that at no distant future they would be able to worship their God under their own vines and fig tree, none daring to make them afraid"; to back in the sunshine of sunny Africa; to unhand their harps from their windows and attune them to the cool sweet music of Ethiopia when she shall have stretched forth her hands to God. ("Hear, hear," and loud applause.) Mr. H. Critchlow, Secretary-Treasurer of the B. G. Labor Union, next spoke on "Unity," and expressed his hearty approval of the objects of the association, which did not concern in ridiculing the white race. That day they was in their own hands and it was by hard work and development, and not by ruling, that they were gifting to achieve racial salvation. Nothing Sediflow—No Rasial Prejudice. Mr. Primo in a few remarks spoke in similar strain. He was glad, however, to notice the presence of the police in the hall that night. He was sure that nothing that had been said savored of any sedifion or the creation of racial prejudice so that they need fear anything. The Tribute, Georgetown, British Guiana, May 29. REMEDIOS DIV.

Please permit me space in your valuable paper to express the feelings and daily sayings of the West Indians in this island. As a Negro and chapain of the above division, through the officers and members, I was sent on many times to the different sections and provinces to arrange for the opening of many branches, and always a great and noble reception has been recorded me. Yet with a membership of 50 to 100 in various districts you find servant or eight financial questions the matter. The cries come, no work, no money. With a family to support how could we pay dues and taxes while there are no other means to support them from the grip of starvation and the pangs of death. It is true we can't appeal to our government for employment, neither can we look sternly to this republic. Well, it's just a very short problem to solve if we are 400,000,000 Negroes strong and we wish to be employed like natives of other countries.

Monday night, May 22, was a red letter night in the history of the Freedom division of the U. N. 2. A. and A. C. L., when the ladies and Black Cross Nurses held a unique fate in the form of an apop party to raise funds to send a delegate to the next convention to be held in New York in August next. Mrs. P. C. Walls, the leader of the black Cross Nurses and president of the ladies' division, took the work in hand and got her sisters in the noble cause to assist her, and right loyally they did respond to the call of their leader. About twenty of these nurses were sent out to solicit, donations towards the party and much success attended their efforts, because on Saturday night, May 21, when they assembled in Liberty Hall to give an account of their stewardship they brought in in cash and foods the large sum of $185. Out of this sum about $88 was spent in buying things for the fete on Monday night, when all Preston turned out to enjoy a real live U. N. L. A. fete. Oh, it was inspiring to see the noble spirit exhibited by one and all at the function. Everyone was in the best of form and showed that "One Aim, One Destiny, One God" was to be the leading spirit of the night's spread. Some seventeen Black Cross Nurses made beautiful and fascinating arrows which were eagerly bought up by the men on the grounds and given to the ladies as presents. These arrows after being sold and resold brought in the city sum of $85. All the sellers who were Black Cross Nurses appeared in their uniform, and this gave the function an exceptional appearance, so much so that people expressed the desire that they wished 'hey were on the green fields of the Fatherland, the land of the Indians' The band discourses sweet music and the ladies and gentlemen did not fall to "trip the light fantastic too". The weather was delightful, as the very moon seemed to have been in sympathy with the occasion, and show out in all her splendour. To give an idea of the spirit which permeated the folks that night, five ordinary sized watermats were out sold and sold for $18.41. The groundwalls were beautifully decorated and muth praise must be given to Mesdames Trench, Bloomfield, Ricards, B. Campbell, A. Campbell, South, McKenzie, Lawrence, Morgan, Walkun, Ferguson; Misses Brown, Breakknife, Mason, Spence, Grant, Clarke, Stennett, James, Allon, Ellot, L. A.

Among the matron of the Black Cats Nurses from Ganor, and Mr. W. A. Christian, the chairman of the Honorable Advisory Board from the Santiago Division. The feld was a great financial success. Starting out with no money we were able to show a cash balance of over $100. This will go a great way in sending our delegates to New York. We are happy to state that the Preston Division is going strong but Taitt, the chaplain, is making a "line drive" for members, and he is meeting with success on every hand. Every Sunday night at our mass meetings new members are added to the roll, and the good chaplain has now turned his attention to the children, and the result is simply wonderful. The whole Preston Division is just on fire for U. N. L. A. work. The success of the latest ship, "Baltic," has been a great exist and interest to the movement in KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

We wish to show him success in his efforts to do all that for the advancement of the cause which is so dear to our hearts. First a few days and we received an official visit from the newly appointed High Commissioner for Cuba, Mr. Erikward Morales. He apologized two days with his our guest and his visit has surely been a welcome to the division. We wish him abundant success in his new appointment. The news which came through the Negro World about the report of the Pilgrims to Liberia, has filled us with overwhelming joy and we can not but compare these men to the Calabb and Josiah of the Karibites time. May victory soon clown the work of John Marcus Garvey, and may God spare him to see the best success of this great movement. G. RUPERT CHRISTIAN, General Secretary. CHAPTER CHARTER, NO. 3, U. N. L.

If it is possible that we do not think so for every woman we would only out of the dollar he makes, and until we do so that someone we shall be aware of does not feel that we as women are in position to bless so much that we need help, hardway, but there are no money and unless we take under consideration every effort up against the increased need we will see and realize need of a dollar when we have not reason to believe we ought to be aware of the majority of our people who have seriously anything dress the people on Summit avenue that we as good as they, but as (the best) teacher, (the) best daughter, (the) best organization, (the) best man, (the) best administrator, but it is hard to keep up with instruction after we leave. What good it is to educate a child and then him to fall into the circle. What good does it do for the child and how time to make some of the most useful, and then he gets to the point where he learns to know what John does and then he said, I saw a new name and a new earth. I believe that of greater things will rise up from the sun of some great man and his work. I am a native New Yorker when I read on the cover of *August of a little man* that Margaret Carvey, born in New York, was waiting into the city to populate of New York, and enjoying the life of 2,000 people, who lived in New York, the privilege of the private mind of this country, to be first this is the white country, and of these things be the poetry this we have left in the colored mind. The man's endleaving without great force have got to go through some of the greats this I would have in you that this man Garnered to the Magra Moss of the Earth is not bothering. We have to be previous age. The man of this age will work out the same hereover though of the leave as respects the Negro. For you know that you cannot get justice and never have gotten it. You say that we have so and so. You have no more than you ought to have and not half as much as you should have. You have never received it under a Democratic President and you have never received it under a Republican one. We have had Republicans just as noted as this man and we have not received justice. You say, "It will work out by and by," but I want to say low that it will never be all right until we put our shoulders to the wheel and shape our own destiny. The convention held in New York in 1811 with 3,000 representatives assembled in Madison, Square with over 22,000 staging that old song "Onward Christian Soldiers" Marcus Garvey ardes and said, "We are met here tonight for the purpose of enlightening the world respecting the attitude of the new Negro. We are assembled as the descendants of a suffering people who are determined to suffer no longer. For 500 years our forefathers on the great continent of Africa suffered from the abuse of an alien race. We as new Negroes declare that what is good for the white race is good for the Negro. The white race claims freedom, liberty and democracy. For that freedom, that liberty, that democracy they drenched Europe in blood for four and a half years. In that bloody war, fought to maintain the standard of civilization and freedom of democracy, they called upon two million black men from Africa, from the West Indies and from America to fight that the world might enjoy the benefits of civilization. We fought as men, fought nobly, we fought gloriously, but after the battle was won we were still deprived of our liberties, of democracy and the glorious privileges for which we fought, and as we did not get those things out of the war we shall organize 400,000,000 strong to float the banner of democracy on the great continent of Africa. We have absolutely no apologies or compromises to make where Negro rights and liberties are concerned. Just at this time when the world is reorganizing it is also reconstructing itself and everywhere oppressed people are striking for and obtaining their rightful freedom, and the Negroes of the world shall do no less than strike for freedom. Liberty is the common heritage of mankind and as God Almighty created us four million strong we shall ask the reason why and dispute every inch of ground with any other race to find out why we also cannot enjoy the same benefits. We as people do not desire what belongs to others, but others have sought to displease us of those things which belong to us. Whereever I go, whether it is in England, France, Germany, Italy or America, I am told "This is a white man's country." If the Englishman claims England as his native habitat, the Frenchman claims France, the Americans this continent, then the time has come for the Negroes to claim Africa as their native land. If Europe and America are for the white man and Asia for the yellow man, then in the name of God Africa shall be the home of the black people. We have been dying for the last 500 years for slain races. The time has come for the Negro to die for himself. Marcus Garvey is the father of the U. N. L. A. born in Jamaica and educated there and in England. He came to the U. S. in 1917 to begin the movement that has resulted in associating a large proportion of the Negroes of the world in organizing a Negro steamship line that will connect the principal Negro centers in Africa, America and the West Indies and in organising a theoretical government, the object of which is to build up a Negro nation in Africa sufficiently strong to be able to dedicate to the other nations of the world on subjects close to the heart of the Negro. The platforms for the Negro organizations are as follows: The U. N. L. A. (Garvey movement) —The Negro's best opportunity to rise in political and racial independence, and theoretical government The N. A. A. C. P. (Du Bols)—Holds that the Negro race can best be promoted by a connection with the white back. [Nearby Business League (Motown)]—The Megroes' advancement can best be promised through organisation adaptation with white race. Fear of the organisations have over 80,000 colored people and some of our best brains are in each. Wise up on man of war, soldier of a prople battle. Kill represent an organiser that has 'aroused the interest of the world.' Fight on and I am sure you will be yours, peace will be yours and Africa will be yours.

L A Brother President, Members of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. I. and friends: I am certain that it is a pleasure to us all to be present here on this occasion, because of what the occasion means to us individually, and because of what it means to us as a race throughout the world. I am especially proud of the U. N. I. A. because it is filling a long felt need among the dark peoples of the world. It is generally understood that Garveyism means "Unglory," and the dark races of the world, not only of the United States, but of Africa, and the islands of the sea, need unity, and as Garveyism stands for unity among the Hamite nations of the world, and if Garveyism accomplishes unity, then it is doing something that all other movements have failed at for a long time. There was a time when the Ethiopian race was the only great race on the face of the earth. At that time they were at the top of the ladder and every other race was subject to the Egyptian race. The Egyptians and Ethiopians were one and the same in so far as each was concerned, the Egyptians being children of one brother and the Ethiopians of another brother. The Jews, who were then the slaves of the Egyptians, thought them greater than Jesus of Nazareth. It is true that the white people are doing all in their power to gain the credit due us for civilization. They never gave us credit in history, yet they borrowed from the Egyptians their civilization. It is certain that civilization had its birth on the Nile in Egypt. Now this race which we represent has been and still is a great race. We are great because of what we have been. Now, Garvey stands for unity, and that no race can achieve, nor ascertain and have the respect of other races unless it is a united race. Long before Garvey came into notice of the world Garveyism had found its way into the minds of those who were thinking for the welfare of the Negro people. Long we have been looking for something that would unify our people in the United States. We were liberated from slavery, but in some instances we have to suffer humiliations greater than slavery. Take the peonage. When we were slaves the master guarded our lives, but in peonage cases the master himself takes our lives. There is a great deal being said about unrest among the Negroes. There is dissatisfaction, but how can we be satisfied and at rest when our race is being burned at the stake, mobbed and lynched? I have never been in a riot, and I do not want to be in one, but when I hear of one going on I would rather be there than away. A few years ago, when the world war was on, I made a trip at night and had reason to change cars at Mason City, I. I have never before been taken for a white man, but as I was standing under the light an officer came up to me and started a conversation. He said, "I do not think it right to send our best blood to war to be killed. We should gather up all the Negroes and Dagroes and send them to fight these battles." I looked at him, but I thought I would catch all he had to say. He said, "If the Negroes outnumbered the whites they would show us where to head in." The Germans are to a degree responsible for the Negro slavery, and they have today had it meted back to them. In the world war the Germans have not daily lost their lives, but their territory has been taken. I like Gavryllum for its scope. It is nationwide, and we need international co-operation. We have been taught what we know by the white man, and he has taught us that we are inferior, but I have never been satisfied with the idea that God made us inferior. Whenever you take out of a race hope and the idea that they are created free and equal, after you have destroyed all their ambition, then they are not fit for anything but to be kicked around and to be bossed. We are appealing to our race to stand upon a higher plane and measure civilization with any other race on the face of the earth. All we have to do is to use the abilities we possess. Many of our people do not want to go to Africa and be pioneers. Of course, God will give you Africa, but I do not believe he put us here to have no home. He means that we shall have Africa. I have seen what Garvarien will do. Do not be discouraged and doubtful, but take hold of this thing and never speak lightly of Africa. God will curse us if we do, curse us individually and curse us as a race I do not wish to infringe upon the next speakers, but I give my hearty endorsement to Garveyism. May God's blessings and hand guide the movement. MISS DAISY M'MILLAN Reporter G D. Howard, Secretary St. Paul, Minn. DETROIT NEWS The first mass meeting of the Detroit Division for June 6 was called to order by the Chaplain Rev B. D. Button. The president, Mr W. O. Smyer, presided. Mrs. Tibba rendered a splendid enconium from Wendel Philips' Immortal "Toussaint L'Ouverture." It should be noticed that there is a marked falling away in the membership in the Detroit Division. There are many reasons for such an unfortunate sequence, the one is unwise guiding of public opinion, the other is that for almost six months the people have been forced to be sitting on uncomely and roughly laid boards in a hall not capable of seating more than four hundred members when crammed, but must seat a membership of more than one thousand. The officer responsible for such long and unpleasant accommodations for the public will please see to it that an additional 125 decent chairs are put in the hall for the proper seating of the public. No well dressed lady or gentleman will continue to abuse their clothes on such knife-edge rough boards. It would be a fallacy to attempt a membership drive without provision to seat decently at least those for whom there is a seat. The relation of the division to the parent body is one of mutual assistance. But this division so far has never received any financial aid. It must therefore set itself upon a working basis to be able to give the proper aid else it will not be able to help the parent body nor itself It must have a convenient hall and seating capacity, without same it must be a failure. It would be too bad for the president-general or the international organiser and high commissioner to return to Detroit and see the people sitting on rough-edge board. The new Belle Isle Bridge across the Detroit River started June 6 and may be completed in two years. J. N. L.

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 confaternity among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love; to administer to and assist the needy; to assist in spiritifying 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 all 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. SAINT LUCLA-UNVEILS HER CHARTER On Sunday, May 15, 1921, the Division of the U. N. L. A. in Castries held a special meeting for the unveiling of its charter History shows that some months past an unveiling of a charter took place in Castries, but the present Charter unveiled is one issued on February 22, 1921, in revocation of the one they unveiled. The hall of the Rose of Eden Lodge was packed to its utmost capacity. It was tastily decorated with palms and wild flowers which showed up very well. The charter box was draped with the Stars and Stripes and Union Jack surmounted by the color of the association. The gathering was representative of St. Lucia's colored best. A choir of aboutnie voices organised for the occasion accompanied by an organ and violin did the musical side of the meeting. The meeting was opened with the singing of the association's ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," after which the chaplain led in prayer. The next hymn sung was "Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow," as expressing the motto "One God, One Alm, One Deathy" after which was sung a hymn, "Bod Gods Our Fraternity," specially composed by Mr E Duncan, chairman of the Advisory Board. A scriptural lesson taken from Isaiah and Psalms was read by the chaplain. The next item on the program was the Presidential address in which the President Mr. Job E. James explained how the association had been misunderstood in St. Lucia through unacupulous persons having led before. He explained that he had asked St. Lucia's beat to be present, as he hoped to clarify the atmosphere of that bad understanding. He explained the meaning of the colors of the associa- Is It a Matter of Money?

All eyes were turned in the direction of the frame. Miss Peeria James, daughter of the president, unpinned the two dogs that draped the charter, which was very artistically framed in several species of our native wood, and in so doing she said in a distinct voice, "I do now and here unveil this charter which bestows authority on the Castles Division to operate in accord with the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and under the motto "One God, One Alm, One Destiny." This was greeted with applause. The "National Anthem "Ethiopia Thou Land of Our Fathers" was then THE UNITED DEALERS BANK 101 West 135th ROOMS Commission THE UNITED PRODUCE DEALERS ASS'N, Inc.

It was the first time that the pastor present had heard it sung, and are prescriptions of congratulation were made on all sides. The disposition of the charter was the next item. Every person present filed past the charter while the choir sang "F toward Christian Warriors" to the tune of "Onward Christian Soldier," also specially composed for the occasion. After an address on the objects of the association by Mr. Duncan, who dealt very masterly with the subject, and another address by Mr. S. O. Thompson, the chaplain, the meeting came to a close with the singing of the hymn "Now the Day Is Over," followed by the doxology. E. J. D. D PRODUCE ASS'N, Inc.
