The Negro World

FINANCIAL SUPPORT ASKED FOR BIG ORGANIZATION PRO Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: We have been in convention for over two and a half weeks investigating and discussing the big problems of our race for the purpose of legislating ways and means through which we shall liberate ourselves from the slavery that has encompassed us. Since the sitting of Convention, we have received many encouraging and complimentary assurances from representatives of the Yellow races, as also the sympathy of the few liberal minded of this white race. This helps to prove that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has indeed made its mark in the world politic. We are determined to bring about a new order of things. The old time handicaps and embarrassments must be turned over, and the era of liberty and democracy must be ushered in. This can only be accomplished through the united effort of each and every Negro in all parts of the world. It is no use putting off for tomorrow what can be done today. This is the day of racial activity. This is the day when each and every group of this great human family must exercise its own initiative and influence in its own protection. Africa is calling us from the four corners of the world, to rescue her and to establish control over our own so that in the very language of the Psalmist our Princes may come out of Egypt and our country stretch out her hands unto God. Negroes should be more determined today than they have ever been because the mighty forces of the world are operating against non-organized groups of peoples who are not ambitious enough to protect their own interests. Freedom of will, and freedom of action are vital essentials to every nation and people, and a race of four hundred millions, it falls to our lot to consecrate our will and our action to the redemption of our fatherland.

Let us have this money so that we buy materials, we can buy this necessary work in Africa. The Black Star Line needs money. It needs all the money it From the complaints that have come before the Convention, we realize that the suffering of Negroes, is a universal problem, hence we ought to organize universally. Africa has her grievances, America has her grievances, as also the West Indies, and when we come to compute them all, we find that they spring from the one common source of race prejudice, based upon the accusation that the Negro has accomplished nothing praiseworthy to recommend him for consideration among the highly developed and progressive races of civilization. White men still argue that the Negro is a beast and not a man, because they charge the Negro as being unable to initiate anything praiseworthy, and to successfully demonstrate it to the benefit of mankind and the good of civilization. They say we have built no railways, we have built no steamships, we have erected no factories, we have built no airships, we have built no cities, we have founded no governments, and established no empires, whilst the men of other races have done these things to the good of themselves and for the benefit of civilization. We of this Convention believe that the Negro will never merit the higher respect of peoples and Governments, until he has, like the other groups of humanity, contributed his portion to the progress of civilization. The spirit of this August gathering is one of racial manhood, but behind all our intentions to make ourselves an independent force to be reckoned with in the great human family, we can only succeed when we are backed up with strong financial support, that which the Convention of itself hasn't got but which must come from the scattered members of the race everywhere. I am again appearing to the 400 million members of the Negro race in It is no use putting off for tomorrow what can be done today. This is the day of racial activity. This is the day when each, and every group of this great human family must exercise its own initiative and influence in its own protection. Africa is calling us from the four corners of the world, to rescue her and to establish control over our own so that in the very language of the Psalmist our Princes may come out of Egypt and our country stretch out her hands unto God. Negroes should be more determined today than they have ever been because the mighty forces of the world are operating against non-organized groups of peoples who are not ambitious enough to protect their own interests. Freedom of will, and freedom of action are vital essentials to every nation and people, and a race of four hundred millions, it falls to our lot to consecrate our will and our action to the redemption of our fatherland Africa. How glorious will it be when in the years to come our children and grandchildren will boast of a country of their own, in Africa, an empire upon which the sun will never set. How blessed will become the memory of the present generation of Negroes who fought for such a reality. Our names will be treasured and honored by posterity for the services we are asking you to do today. All of us might not live to see the higher accomplishment of an African empire so strong and powerful as to compel the respect of all mankind, but we in our lifetime can so work and so act, as to make the dream a possibility within another generation. Rome was not built in a day, and so Africa will not be built in a day, but through evolution and through our own efforts we feel sure that one day Africa shall rise to be the greatest of empires and the sons and daughters of Ham shall so influence civilization and humanity as to leave a record that will never be effaced. Through this Convention now in session in New York, we are hoping to accomplish great things; but again I must remind each and every one who reads this message that we can only accomplish great good by first receiving the financial and moral support of Negroes everywhere. We want money to carry on this work. We want the five hundred dollars, the two hundred dollars, the one hundred dollars, the fifty dollars, the twenty dollars, the ten dollars, the five dollars the two or the one dollars of each, and every one who can afford to send this to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 50 West 135th street, New York City, to help carry on the work for the redemption of Africa and the emancipation of our oppressed and struggle rises. country. Nothing praiseworthy can be achieved, nothing can be done without sacrifice, and now in the time for each and every Negro to make up his and her mind for sacrifice so that Africa the land of our fathers, can become the land of our children. Our program for 1921-1922 is an elaborate one. It is one that will scatter the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the entire universe, but to maintain this influence, we must have money and we must have man. We are getting the men, but we need the money or finance the men and carry on the work. Let us have this money so that we can buy ships, we can buy materials, we can buy the necessary equipment to resize our work in Africa. The Black Star Line Steamship Corporation needs money. It needs all the money that we subscribs at this time to build bigger ships, and equip them for our African, American, West Indian and South and Central American trade. Send in now and buy your shares. Buy five, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty, two hundred, at $5.00 per share each, and help this great corporation to run a successful line of ships for the carrying out of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. GROES WILL STOP AT NOTHING SHORT OF REDEMPTION OF MOTHERLAND AND ESTABLISHMENT OF AFRICAN EMPIRE, SAYS MARCUS GARVEY IN HIS DRAMATIC SPEECH BEFORE TREMENDOUS SUNDAY NIGHT AUDIENCE IN LIBERTY HALL LIBERTY HALL, SUNDAY EVENING, Aug. 14.—Every seat was taken tonight in Library Hall at the second Sunday night meeting of the International Convention of Negroes that has now been sitting for two weeks, and that we got within the united States of the finest musical programs, was given that has ever been heard in this the largest and most popular Negro forum in the world. Two women delegates from Hastifard, Comi, sang as a duet, "Whispering Hope." The Black Star Line, Band, undes Professor Isles, played selections appropriate for the occasion, "if being Sunday evening-November 14," splendid rendition of L. Ardill's "La Boudin." The number that won the greatest ambition was an original composition; both words and music, by Madame Moivar. This was sung by bat with the aid of a quartet of male voices, and was no striking and captivating that the audience insisted that she sing the piece again. It is African Your Fatherland, and replicated by Negro boy in the fatherland-Africa. The chorus runs as follows: This is your fatherland. this is your fatherland. You can go any place you want to go; this is your fatherland. This is your fatherland. Don't mind what the white child used to do, honey. 271b that segregated country you is throne1 The Hon. Marcus Carvey was the principal speaker, two other addresses being made by Prof. Wm. H. Ferrin, editor of the Nervy World, and the Rev. Dr. G. L. Stewart, High Chancellor. The President-General, in his ad- mits more upon the topic that this is now not time, to turn back in the tables of the U. N. K. the redemption of [African] men. He scoffed at the assertion of annuities of the movement; that it is the best the wilt England, France, Italy, and Belgium now strongly entrained in Africa, that Negroes should at any time be able to redeem Africa from the Africans. He referred to the problem of empires, in the past, as recorded in history, and then, similarly, the recent decisive decision of the Spanish forces in Morocco from an answer prophetic of the civil- rights challenge; that it now place in result in Africa's reemphasis, said he, "We desire a freed, that will lift unto the common standard of all men, whether they be white, yellow, black, and desiring to lift, consecrary to that standard, we shall stop at nothing un- til there is a free, and a redeemed African and a great African empire upon which the sun will never set." The President General, in his ad- motion,申咐 the topic, that this is now not time, to turn back, in the tables of the U. N. I. A. the reclamation of AM (ca). He so-called at the assertion of the movements of the movement; that it is encouraged by the movement; that it is encouraged by Belgium now already encouraged in Africa, that Nigeria should at any time be able to return Africa to the Africans. He referred to the moving of empires in the past, as resumed in his letters, and then signified the recent decisive wins of the Spanish forces in Morocco in the struggle for the ousting of the old empires in Africa, that the empires and result in Africa's descent. Said he: "We desire a freedom, that will lift unto the common standard of all men, wideth that be white, yellow, black, and desiring to lift ourselves to that standard, we shall stop at nothing until there is a free, and a redeemed African and a great African empire upon which the sun will never so fall." We espire people and are moving to turn from the recession of Africa, but let us tell you your destiny for freedom and for liberty lies in the emancipation of Africa. He said that if fails to the lot of the Nero or the present day, to tear away the smokes that bind Africa, and also askst: "Can you do it?" To whom the response was a win, with well and as well as it every time, on the woman in its full appreciation its significance and meant it. Bothered for his said, "Some of our people are enduring to turn from the war from Africa, but let me tell you your destiny for freedom and for liberty lies in the abandonment of Africa." He said that if it falls to the lot of the Negro at the present day to tear away the skins that mind Africa, and then scold—"Can you do it?" To which the response was a great and kind chorus of "Ye about us with a will and as it every one, that woman in the big hall apprehend us, significance and meant it." "Ye have suffered longs to have been burdened here, but we have been reached the parting of the war. We have speached the crossroads of humanity. Each year is driving in its own direction. Your hundred millions Negroes are driving alone." Professor Waris, referring to the business, bestowed on the New York World recently upon the death of Rev. I. D. T. Walker, a man who had had saved the problem of the two raised in the South, by which the Negrises in Atlanta could live peacefully also by riding with the white man that a sailor would do—to the Negroes two- hundred years ago, who had passed through the plains of the prairie, would walk... The New York spoke, giving of the eighteenth-century the Hialeah, raisin in the nest that Ja. in the days of the an- ington. We have Miss Hannaette Vinton Davia, who was closely associated with Frederick Douglass; and the wisdom of those two leaders has been transmitted to us. As I have watched these deliberations this is what I have learned. We have learned that we will be a great university, a great training school for leadership. Men are being trained here in business methods, in parliamentary law, in the handling of conventions, and in a future day, out of this hall, out of this convention, will emerge the future leaders of the Negro Roca. Who can tell but that some of these delegates to this convention will carry back to their respective homes, and be torch bearers and light bearers of civilization. As a student of history I have carefully studied the steps by which man has emerged from barbarism to a civilized state. There is that something in man which differentiates him from the lower animals; that divine opark of intelligence by which he strives for fuller freedom, for more light; strives more and more to better his condition. It was a long time ago that the Negro had a splendid physique, but did not possess those fine attributes which make man a man. On the battlefield, in the schoolroom, in the counting-house and on the farm we have demonstrated our equality in some respects and our superiority in other respects to other men. No race that has been enslaved as the Negro was in the Western Hemisphere for 350 years ever emerged with that burning passion. We did the Negro; and in the Universal Negro Improvement Association you have a great mass force, mobilized toward a definite erd. Herefore we have had brilliant leaders, brilliant orators; but they have been long stars shining in the African firmament; one star have and one star there. The U. N. L. A. is meaning these lights, these leaders together, so that is can buril an avalanche at the world of public opinion. I believe that in building up factories, in establishing and operating steamship lines and in laying the foundation for the commercial, development of Liberia, the U. N. L. A. is building a foundation on which the Negro can rise to a higher degree of prosperity." "Bilieve where in the Bible, in the book of Genesis, it is said that God formates man, and of the man formates him the breath of life, and gave him a living soul" that it applied to the brown man, to the yellow man, to the black man, the same as it applied to the white man. This is what is called the race situation. This law of man attempt to assign to the Negro a lower place than the God-of Nature assigned him in the scheme of creation. NON-MARIOUS GARVEY SPEAKO The first speaker was the Hon. Merchants Harvey, who said: Delegates to the Second International Convention, Members and Friends' Insight, we are assembled as follower and supporters of a great cause. Four years ago talking the oppressions from which we suffered, realising the hardship from which we suffered. We organised ourmost into an supply nation for the purpose of bettering our condition for the purpose of found the government of our own. The four years of organisation have brought them to the end of the time. We have given both a mighty power, a mighty power, a strength of power, a strength of the world. HUMANITY NOW AT CROSSROADS—EACH RACE STRIVING IN ITS OWN DIRECTION —AFRICA GOAL TOWARD WHICH 400 MILLION NEGROES ARE STRIVING—NO TIME TO TURN BACK—SHOULD PREFER DEATH, RATHER THAN GIVE UP WORK OF ACHIEVING REALIZATION OF HOPES AND AIMS OF RACE Prof. Wm. H. Ferris and Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, High Chancellor, Also Speak Words of Encouragement—Wonderful Program of Music Heard, Including Another New Inspiring Race Song able to accomplish in the very near future, when the millions who are outside the pale of the Universal Negro League have joined them, have linked themselves up with us. By our success of the last four years we will be able to estimate the grander success of a free and redeemed Africa. In climbing the heights to where we are today we have had to surmount difficulties, we have had to climb over obstacles, but the obstacles were stopping stones to the future greatness of this great cause we represent. Day by day we are writing a new history; day by day we are recording new deeds of valor performed by this race of ours. It is true the world has not yet valued us at our true worth, but we are climbing up and over the land that force that change of the life is changing toward us. (Aplausea.) Wherever you turn your eyes today you will find the moving influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association among Negroes from all corners of the globe. We hear among Negroes the cry of Africa for the Africans. This cry has become a positive, determined one; it is a cry that is raised simultaneously the world over because of the universal oppression that afflicts the Negro. You who are congregated here tonight as delegates representing the hundreds of branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in different parts of the world will realize that we in New York are positive in this great desire of a free and resilient Africa. This Alberty Hall as the centre from which we send out the sparks of liberty to the far corners of the world, and if you have caught the spark in your section we want you to keep this spark burning for the great cause we are supposed to represent. Freedom the Cry of All Racism There is a mad rush among races everywhere toward national independence; everywhere we hear the cry of liberty; everywhere we hear the cry of fratism; everywhere we hear the cry and demand for democracy. In our corner of the world we are raising the cry for liberty, for freedom and for democracy. Men who have raised the cry for freedom and liberty in ages past have always made up their minds to die for the realization of that dream of democracy and that dream of freedom in which we assembled in this convention as delegates to the different peoples of the world give out the same spirit that the fathers of liberty in this country gave out over a hundred years ago. We give out a spirit that knows no compromise: we give out the spirit that refuses to turn back; we give out the spirit that says liberty or death. And in prosecution of this great idea—the idea of a free and freedmed Africa—men may scorn, men may spurn us, men may say that we are on the wrong side of life, but men may say that we are traveling is just the way all peoples who are free have traveled in the past. If you want liberty you yourselves must strike the blow for liberty. If you must be free you must become so through your own effort, through your own initiative. Those who have discharged you in the past are those who have enshiated you for centuries, and it is not expected that they will admit that you have a right to strike out at this late hour for freedom, liberty, and justice. I do thank you, the delegates, and thank you, the members, for being able to see liberty through your own spectacles. I have to thank you for your being able to realize that your destiny lies in your own hands. At no time in the history of the world for the last 600 years was there ever a serious attempt to free Negroes. We have been, canceled into believing that we were made free by Abraham Lincoln, that we were made free by Victoria of England; but up to now we are still slaves. We are industrial slaves; we are raw slave slaves; we are slave owners; we are deified a freedom that has no boundless that has no limit. (Appeased) We deceive freedom that will make us as men and nothing less than men; we deceive a freedom that will lift us to the common standard of all men, whether they be the white men of Europe or yellow men of Africa. That is the standard we desire to lift ourselves to. Therefore our destiny is to lift ourselves to that standard we shall stop at nothing until there is free and affectioned Africa. We are free and affectioned Africa. We are free and affectioned Africa. We are free and affectioned Africa. you your destiny for freedom and for liberty lies in the emancipation of Africa. Without Africa free Negroes. Without doomed—domed now and forever. Great Leaders Great influence is being brought to bear against the objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the plan of a free and redeemed Africa, and the objects and plans of an emanated race, but let me tell you that we who make up this organization have pledged ourselves even to the last drop of our sacred blood that Africa must be free. (Applause.) I understand that just at this time, while we are endeavoring to create public opinion and public sentiment in favor of a free African, that others of our race are being subsidized to turn the attention of the world toward a different desire on the part of Negroes, but men, I am so pleased to find out and to know that you have not fallen under the influence of the enemy. Keep your torchlight burning; keep it burning bright. The enemy may argue with you to show you the impossibility of a free and redeemed Africa, but I want you to take as your argument the thirteen colonies of Africa that once owed their sovereignty to Great Britain, and that sovereignty was turned away to make us a United States of America today. Use that as your argument—that, for large, Washington was not Jesus Christ, General Washington was not God Almighty; General Washington was not God Almighty, and if God was the own God of Jesus Christ, they were but men. Diarrell was a man; Pitt, the Earl of Cheatham, was a man; Gladstone was a free Africa, who can make a free Africa. (Applause.) Hampden, Gladstone, Pitt, Diarrell were not the representatives of God in the person of Jesus Christ, they were but men. Diarrell was a man; Pitt, the Earl of Cheatham, was a man; Gladstone was but a man, but in their time they worked for the expansion of the British Empire, and today they boast of a British Empire on which the sun never sets. As Pitt and Gladstone were able to work for the expansion of the British Empire, so you and I can work for the expansion of a great African empire. Voltaire was not Jesus Christ; Mirabeau was not Jesus Christ; they were but men also ourselves. They were for the French Revolution; they worked for the French Revolution; they were for the overturned monarchy; they worked for the democracy that France now only is and they were able to do that, and they were able to do work for a democracy in Africa to Lenine is not Jesus Christ; Trotsky is not Jesus Christ; but Lenine and Trotsky were able to turn down the Czar; they were able to turn down the despotism of Russia, and today they have given to the world a social republic, the first of its kind. If Lenine and Trotsky were able to do that for Russia you and I can do that for Africa. (Applause.) Therefore let no man, let no power on earth, let no influence turn you from this sacred cause of liberty. I prefer to die at this moment rather than not to work for the freedom of Africa. If liberty, if freedom, is good for a certain sect of humanity, it is good for all. Black men, colored men, Negroes have as much right to be free as any other man, and God Almighty created, and we desire freedom that is unfettered; we desire a freedom that will limit; we desire a freedom that will give us a chance and opportunity to the fullest of our ambitions, and that we cannot get in countries where other men rule and dominate. I care not what the scholars of this race say; I care not what the intellectual men of this race say, there is no greater cause in the world than the cause of freedom, the cause if liberty. Liberty is man's first right; therefore men everywhere are entitled to liberty. Our philosophers and our scholars may argue from now until dawnday, they will be unable to convince this Universal Negro Improvement Association that it is not a proper thing, to fight for the liberty of Africa. They are using that in opposition to the same of the scholarly man of the African race, to be no bedchone, who have no prior judge, to be no courant, who have nothing in common with the millions of suffering women and the majority of Men against whom they must their interests to inflict in a continual propaganda—the old, the new, propaganda—the new, the new, propaganda that of the Negro African being the African man, that thank God, God, The following is a sample of text from a document that has been converted to Markdown format. ```markdown ``` served notice on the world already that we shall only recognize and follow leaders created by ourselves (applause) and no leader created by us can misrepresent us, because you have seen how we have tried some of our leaders in this last convention. We are in a mood not to be trifled with. We desire service on one count only, service that means the speedy redemption and the speedy freedom of Africa, and the man who cannot give it must get out of the way (applause) because we have no time to waste. We have reached the time when every minute, every second must count for something done, something achieved in the cause of Africa. We need the freedom of Africa now. Therefore we desire the kind of leadership that will give it to us as quickly as we want it. You will realize that not only individuals but governments are using their influence against us, but what do we care about the unrighteous influence of any government? Our cause is based upon righteousness (applause) and anything that is not righteous we have no respect for, because God Almighty is our leader and Jesus Christ is our standard bearer. (Applause) We rely on them for the kind of leader that makes us free, for it that same God God the Pauline "Palmit is for" of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands unto God. And at this hour mothings I see Ethiopia stretching out her hands unto God, and melthinks I see the angel of God taking up the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green and saying, "Men of the Negra race, men of Ethiopia, follow me." And tonight we are following—we are following 400,000,000 strong. We are following with a determination that we shall be free. We must be free. Before the wreck of matter, before the doom of the world, Africa shall be free. Redeeming Africa It falls to your lot to tear off the shackles that bind Mother Africa. Can you do it? (Cries of "Yes! Yes!") You did it in the Revolutionary War; you did it in the Civil War; you did it in the Battle of the Marne; you did it at Verdun; you did it in Mesopotamia; you did it in Togoland, in German East Africa; you can do it marching up the battle heights in the prolonged applauses. Why would we turn back? The path is clear; it is for us to follow in the way that is made clear before us. They tell us that the Negro has no soul; they tell us that the Negro is a beatet created in the image of God; they tell us that the Negro is not a man; they tell us that the Negro has no aspirations. But they speak of the Negro of the past. The Negro of the present hobbing—hoping as all men hobbing—hoping that when Gabriel blows his horn Negro all other races, shall answer "Hero" in equality, socially, intellectually, physically and politically. (Cheers.) It is a race for the life of this race *c*ours. Started in the race late though it be, we are on the journey, and I feel sure, with the abiding confidence I have in this race of mine that we shall answer there equally and simultaneously with others when they register here. I am calling on you to exercise your faculties to the limit, to utilise your senses to the extremes, because the fitest. If you are fit you will die. Must we die? (Cries of fear) shall live; we shall live as men or die men. We have labored hard; we have suffered long; but we have reached the parting of the ways; we have reached the crossroads of humanity, and each race is traveling in its own direction. Let the white race travel in its own direction; let the yellow race travel in its own direction. Four hundred million Negroes are traveling toward Africa. (Applauses.) The white world may despise us; the white world may scout and spurn the idea of a Free State. How can they say "How dare you talk about Africa is in possession of England, when Africa is in possession of France, when Africa is in possession of Italy, when Africa is in the possession of Spain"? What logic have you, Mr. White? Men? Please not, before you the pages of history recording the rise and fall of people, of races and nations, White Men? Can you not learn by experience? Why talk about the permanency of Great Britain in Africa? Why talk about the permanency of Great Britain in Africa? Why talk about the permanency of Great Britain in Africa? without marcy out of their territory? is not that an indication of the direction in which the wind of African liberty is blowing? It took but a few unorganized Moore to drive the organized Spanish out of the Mediterranean section of Africa. When we get there with our knowledge of the latest artillery, when we get there with our knowledge of the latest explosives, when we get there with our knowledge of the latest strategy in war, what will England do, what will France do, what will Italy do? Let the world understand that 400,000,000 Negroes are prepared to die or live freemen. (Cheers.) Despise us as much as you care, ignore us as much you care, we are coming, 400,000,000 strong. We are coming with our woes behind us, with the memory of sufferings behind us—woes and suffering of 300 years—they shall be our shield. My bulwark of strength in the conflict for freedom in Africa will be the 300 years of persecution and hardship left behind in this Western world. The more I remember the suffering of my forefathers, the more I remember the lynching and burning in the Southern State of Texas. I fight even though the battle seems doubtful. Tell me that I must turn back and I laugh you to scorn. Go on 'Go on' Climb you the heights of liberty and cease not in well done until you have planted the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green on the hills of Africa. (Loud on the hillops of Africa.) (Loud on prolonged applause.) Dr. Stewart Speake The Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, High Chancellor, upon being introduced, spoke in part as follows. "Your Excellency, Members of the High Executive Council, Deputies to the Second International Convention, Ladies, and Gentlemen. "This is the first time in Liberty Hall that I was ever called upon unprepared to speak. I do not know what on earth is the matter with our leader. He is always the last speaker, so that when I saw him rise to speak I said to myself, 'It's all over now.' (Laughter.) This afternoon I attended the meeting here, and I heard one of the speakers say that there is an Aaron here, preparing to stand by the side of the President General. Afterwards came a little man who said he is going to meet him, then set-sail to my self. I wonder then what he was (Laugher). But I have already taken my place in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and I am determined, by the help of God, to stand in it until my chance comes. Now, when in the past I preached about a change I meant from this world to the new world, we mean the new theology we mean a change from here to Africa. (Applause.) When, on going far beak in history, I think of the greatness of my race, when I think of the time when we were the leading spirit of the world; when the white race had to bow to us for learning; when we had the great seat of the earth; when we were the mistress of the world; when we taught the arts and sciences, astronomy and astrology to the peoples of the world, when we were the only people on earth who could impart life have you ever heard in history that any other race on God's green earth could do that granting life—when I think of all these things by the age known in history, I say, surely, "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand again unto God." (Applause.) "When God sent Moses down in Egypt to deliver the Israelites from the bendage of Pharaoh, he had a rod in his hand. God told him to cast the rod upon the ground. Moses obeyed the command, and the rod became a snake. Pharaoh, the Negro king, on hearing this, called the Negro astrologers, the men of science, the men of medicine, and they looked upon the serpent of Moses; they turned aside and had a consultation among themselves; they then came forward, threw down their rods and their rods wiggled, as Moses' rod wiggled. Have you ever heard of any other nation in all your life doing that? Moses had the direct power of God, but they had only the power of science that God gave them. Secondly, when Moses turned water into blood, the Negro Egyptians, the Negro men of science, did it. too, when Moses had the direct power of water upon the ground, the astrologers turned aside, had a conference among themselves, and brought frogs also leaping, like Moses' frogs. "I am told that 'righteousness ex-altheth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.' Those people (the Negro Egyptians), because of their greatness, seemed to have forgotten God, and they retrograded; they fell, as it were, fast asleep and fell into the hands of their enemies. But, thank God, a new day has dawned; God himself has called out of the Negro race, a man—a leader! Look at him" (turning to and� polishing at the President General)—a stamp of the Negro race! (Applause). I said a moment ago to Prof. Narrar "Doesn't he resemble a Xula warrior?" (Great laughter). God himself called a man like cursiples, but knowledge of his brain gave him power: in his soul, speed, the travel, and every Negro in the world who must fast asleep, work up and sat up, and look at his and its end. "I have heart of him," I have read of men. I have known of but I have never heard, read or known of any other man under the high canopy of heaven whom the people talked about so much as they are today talking about the Hon. Marus Garvey, (Applause). Why? Because the age of the Negro from now! But I do not what powers of hell may be mustinning him, nothing in this world can keep the Negro from rising. (Applause). See them; they are rising everywhere. Just think of it! We are in a new age, and we are writing down in history that Negroes are no longer fast asleep, that Negroes can no longer be kept down; that Negroes are rising up to stay up and come again Africa, their native land. (Great applause.) Do you think that when God said "Princes shall come up out of Egypt," that "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to God," that he meant the Negroes who are living in this part of the world? You may live here until five hundred years from now; you may never become a king. But let the Negroes never come to you. I can see, out of our significant holdings, princes coming out, looking up to the face of God, and becoming great men and great women. (Apblaulus.) Let me tell you that Stowart believers in his soul; that God has called Marcus Garvey to lead the Negro peoples of the world; and because God has called him, he will lead. Moreover, because of the faith I have in God, he will live to see the land—Africa. So I say to you, be faithful to the end. There are some of us who will never see the land. No liars can get there. When the Israelites left Egypt and were going up to Canaan, the men who were sent out, cut the land, the liars who sent them up, hid the men who spoke the truth concerning them they lived, saw the land and lived there before they died. So we who are journeying on will never be our promised land, the land of Africa, unless we are true to each other, true to our great cause, true to God our leader. I thank God that I am what I am I thank God that, although 'black, yet comely,' the day has come when men of my race are not ashamed that they are black. There was a time, you know when the Negro, some of them, would say: 'I'm sorry I am black.' But that time, that day, has passed and now every Negro may feel proud that he is a Negro. If the Universal Negro Improvement Association were a thing the creation alone of man, it would die; but it will stand, because I know that it is of God. Through its instrumentality, and under the leadership of Jehovah, a great empire, a great nation will come; a nation under the banner of the Black the Red and the Green. Then no man will dare lynch a Negro, no matter where he may be. They dare not lynch a Japanese? Why? Because the Japanese nation behind them. And the day the Negro will have a nation of his own, too; when those who lynch us now with impunity, will halt, will hostate, will dare not lynch us any more, when they will say: "We cannot lynch him, because he is a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a citizen of the African Republic." (Great applause). THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL ENTERTAINED AT DINNER On Wednesday noon, Aug. 9, Mr. E. G.

NAMES RACE MAN POSTMASTER (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.-Governor Joseph M. Dixon of Montana has appointed Henry Baker of this city postmaster, at the State Capital. In a personal letter to John D. Galamy, a Chicago officer, 412 St. Lawrence avenue, Govanne Dixon, the colored voters of the State of Montana something, bucks the major type of appointment and though he had but twenty-six, appointee, officers, with over 1,000 appointees, has left it his duty to appoint Henry Baker, Mt. Galamy, a statesman that Baker, is one of the best known, and most highly respected militia members of Montana, aged 76, the appointee of whom he would be worthy of mention. The Second International Convention of Negroes held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, continued in session last week, from Monday morning to Saturday afternoon. The proceedings were of a very interesting and lively nature, the participants comfortable warmth, as various delicate mats were discussed. The wore proceedings served to exemplify what were needed—that the Negro is at last in earnest. It was a distinct picture to note the auspices with which delegates approached their task. The stormy atmosphere which prevailed, particularly during the latter part of the week, and some detritious chatter to interpret as suited their purpose, was a harbinger of trouble, ended when the speakers gave commend the house to its task. Then all were for the race, and none were for the individual. New delegates arrived in a steady stream during the work. The gallery was more crowded and enthusiastic than ever. Indeed, so pronounced was their interest in the proceedings that two of three attempts were made during the course of the week to have secret sessions, as very contemptuous matters were under fire of the greater part of the house that nothing was to be gained and there was much to lose by having the gallery cleared even for a single hour. The sergeant-at-arms and his staff had little difficulty in preserving perfect order. Much progress was made in the hearing of reports from the various delegates. It only remains for a few to give their narratives, and they will be called upon during the present week as the chairman deems fit. These reports have proved to be very useful and enlightening, and they will be a basis for future legislation and possible revision of the constitution of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. for the ensuing year. FIFTH DAY Reports of Officials On the assumption on Monday, the 8th inst., the delegates continued their reports on conditions existing in their various communities, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, acting speaker, presiding. The day's proceedings were interesting and eventful. The secretary general Hon. J. B. Yearwood, read his report on the working of the secretary general department during the past year. (The full text of this report appears elsewhere in this issue.) The report was printed and circulated among the members. The assistant president-general also read his report. He gave a detailed account of his activities in the field of the president-general, the absence of the president-general he did not function, that power having been delegated to others. He ended by stating that since making his reports he had read the annual address of the president-general, in which the charge had been made that he must be charged of other crimes for which they had been imprisonment. He pleased guilty to that charge. He had found it impossible, acting a minister for thirty-five years, to exist without a troubled heart, if he did not preach. He had, therefore, accepted the pastorate or a small church as his place of worship. he wanted to keep himself in touch with the 4,000,000 Baptists of America. *D. Gordon then asked permission to read his resignation. The resignation paper proved to be very lengthy, containing no less than 1,000 pages. It was much that was contentious and, perhaps, curious in the document. A heated discussion followed, in the course of which the president-general stated his reasons for coming to the conclusion that his assistant was, in administrative head of the organization. It was finally agreed that the realization paper be thoroughly considered by a committee of five, which would capitually examine the various charges and report its findings to the conveners. The Hon. R. H. Tohrit, leader of the Eastern Province of the West India, then made an extensive report on his work in the past year. He spoke of the conditions existing in the places he sampled, up to function, sampled, Philadelphia, the United States, and the islands of Marmura, Dominica, Batavia, Trinidad, Demerara, Antigua and St. Lucia, in the West India. In most of the West Indian islands, he stated, he had encountered considerable opposition from as well as from individuals. Several delegates made very entertaining reports. A valuable report was made of conditions in Haiti, where the delegate said, the antagonism of a white newcomer and persecution from the Marian Islands interfered with the holdings of meetings throughout the country. The Institute from Samah gives a report of satisfactory progress of the world in that land, the movement inviting received a great step through the recent wars by the provincial Samah. Definitely from Canada, spells up cooperation of that country as good for the institution, defending the world. ment, the child difficulty being the serious economic conditions existing. Several delegates from various States of the Union of America also spoke, and the delegates from the session, ascribed what difficulties were being experienced to the prevailing unemployment, dissension among the members themselves, and the attitude of some of the preachers. They emphasized the need for careful work and hard effort to push the progress of the various divisions. BIXTH BAY (Departmental Reports) Tuesday was also devoted to hearing reports. Before business was begun, the Hon. Maruus Garvey, Acting Speaker, said that the movement that the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. was against religion and the Church. The association realized the good influence and power of the Church and the debt society owed it; the Church was against it against certain unworthy persons who professed to represent the Church. Chaplain General's Report. His Grace the Chaplain-General, Dr. G. A. McGuire, read his report. The first duty imposed upon him, he said, was the preparation of a Universal Negro Ritual for use in meetings of the Divisions of the Association of Negro Writers, and the Negro Catechism, for instruction of the general membership. He was happy to report that not only had the Ritual received almost unanimous commendation from all sections of the U. N. L. A., but from those without the fold. Moreover, it had become a steady source of Revenue to the Association. The demand for a Musical Edition of the Ritual had been made in several conferences, and the judgment of the convention, the Ritual was a necessity. he would ask Negro Writers among the membership to send in immediately their sacred compositions adjusted to the accepted and established meters, or with music to the hymn, if the music was peculiar. The Catechism also had received universal endorsement. Many Chaplains were using it in their juvenile Departments and making it the basis of their addresses to the adult members. He then referred to the secular work he had done in several States of the U. S. A. by the instruction of the President General, and to his special duties in Cuba. He then made a forceful denial of the statement, which he said was being made by mischief-makers, that they desired to make any one denomination the head of the church that believed in time there would be a united Negro Race with a United Negro Government and a United Negro Church. Some day there would be a Universal African Church. It would not be any of the existing denominations, and yet it would include them all. It would have its Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Catholic and other connections or rites, each one prescribing its own form of Government. It would have its own symbols of Divine Truth. There would even be a Mohammedan branch or connection, if it was to be really a Universal African Church. He ended with an appeal to the organization that it use whatever talents it might possess to spiritualize the movement, to direct its ethical affairs and to win for it the co-operation of Negro ministers and denominations; to preach anniversary and other special sermons in the divisions, to visit and stir the hearts and souls of Negroes in the communities; to offerings and collections of the people, and to convert and evangelize with the Gospel of a Free and Redeemed Africa the millions still untouched. Commissioner General's Report. The Hon. High Commissioner General also read his report. He pointed out that on his department had failen very many important duties which had not been envisaged when his duties were defined in the Constitution. He was responsible for the compilation of the Universal Negro Almanac and had circulated throughout the world 10,000 copies. Arrangements had been made, by establishing agencies abroad, to increase the circulation to 20,000. They had edited the Hine Book for the co-operation with the publication. The department was also in charge of the correspondence with reference to the immigration in the Republic of Zimbabwe, and thousands of letters had been received from various parts of the world. Those correspondents found out the status of hundreds of people who really wished to go to Africa to dominate: The office also helps all correspondence with the picture now in Laboria: was responsible for the beautiful map of Montrovia by the young surveyor, who is now in Montrovia. The map was to be obstructed and struck off, in print for the benefit of members, and, if was hoped, would bring Labels, before the world, as it had never been. The office was also responsible for the collection of the theological Primary Commission during the whole period of their service in this country. And other entries concerning the department, accompanied the work of designing in connection with their work, who produced the maps ofasmine. The department was also responsible for the arrangement, by this Women's Industrial Exhibition. It was his idea that records had been obtained of the Ethiopian National Anthem and of Mr. Garvaye's address on his return to the United States. Several delegates gave accounts of the work in their divisions. Of great interest was the account of a delegate who had been doing miscellaneous work in the camp. He had succeeded, he said, in dispensing propaganda in Egypt in Somalland, in Albania and other parts, besides at various ports in France on his way to Africa. He found the Egyptians crying out for liberty. The 3,000,000 Negroes in French Somalland were badly treated. Many of them were starving. They became very interested in the movement and bad him convey to the convention their complete sympathy with its aspirations. They were also highly impressed. They were hoping that day there would be one great Universal Church in Africa. The U. N. I. A. could count upon the support of 25,000,000 black people there. Other delegates e phased the need for more intelligent leaders and members in the various divisions, and stated that in many cases the work of the organization suffered, chiefly because those at the head were unable to躯击 the e subordinates of the intelligent inquirers, the b disciples of the movement. SEVENTH DAY Woman's Day Wednesday, Women's Day, in connection with the Women's Art and Industrial Exhibition, was, with the exception of the first hour of the session, given over to the lady delegates to make their reports. The International Organizer, Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, made her departmental report. She gave a detailed account of her work in the field, in the U. S. A. and overseas, and recommended that more care be exercised in the appointing of organizers, that proper arrangements should be made whereby only authorized persons could interfere with the work of branches, and stressed the importance of the education to the President General's orders. A number of very inimpaired reports from the various lady delegates followed. Many told of excellent work done in their communities by the Black Cross Nurses, and particularly striking was the report of a delegate from Cleveland, O. that a committee of women 183 to 184 out-of-work men and women per day. In a little over two months about 6,000 persons had been fed. Shortly after the day's session was begun the Hon. Marcus Garvey, as the president of the New York local, gave a glowing account of the financial standing and general spirit which prevailed in the campaign branch of the association. He pointed out the great assistance it had given to the Black Star Line with investments and also the substantial support rendered to the Liberian Construction Loan, and emphasized that the prosperous condition of the New York local and the fact that its officers inspired and held the confidence of its members. Good Wishes From China Immediately after he announced that the following cabalgraza had been received from Manchuria, China: "1921. 1931. "Chairman Second International Negro Convention, New York: "In gratitude for thank you for your great enterprise to bath God's love and humanity in radiance of freedom and independence on absolutely equal priority to privately your for your lasting success. "HEDIKCHI KANEKO. "President Taitling Jihage ("Oriental Dalil")", Darley, Manchurik. A motion was then moved and caricatured, and the skilled reply be sent immediately. EIGHTH DAY A considerable portion of Thursday morning was spent in discussing a motion to the effect that the convention go into secret session to discuss the official reports which were then before the house for consideration. 1 Among others the Hon. Marcus Garvey expressed his disapproval, stating that he saw no reason why the gallery should be cleared. The reports chained to the motion were covered by the people. He did not see why delegates should anticipate that there was something wrong and which required concealment. The motion was lost. 1 The Hon. Marcus Garvey then va- taken the brief giving piece to the Prime Minister. As the speaker in court, the report was almost in courtroom. Several questions were asked, the President-General concerning the national funds in his report that issues of the officers had been unfaithful, had destroyed much of the good work he had done in several divisions and had encouraged others to enka representations against his return to the United States. President-Diplomat would not mention the name of the individual who, he said, he had learned had been engaged in trying to keep him from returning to the United States stating that the matter was still under investigation. As soon as it was completed he would give the information to the convention. He further stated the name of the members of the Executive Council who, in his opinion, had unhole his work in the investigation. He unbounded the names of the officers who had given trouble. The afternoon session was a stormy one. Mandala to Chakra Immediately on resumption the Ion. Marcus Garvey said: it had been brought to his notice that an attempt had been made by a delegate to bring about the recall of another delegate from the same division. He wanted the convention to be held, and the recall to result a candidate because, as it had been estated, that delegate had disobeyed the mandate of the division. The Assistant Counsel-General, Mr. William Matthew, gave it as his opinion that under the Constitution a division could not recall a candidate even though he may have disobeyed the mandate given. A motion was then moved and carried unanimously that no division had any right to recall an accredited delegate. Discussion of the President-General's report was continued. He answered several questions relating to his estimation of several of his colleagues. The Civil Service In reply to questions concerning the civil service proposition mentioned in his speech he ha'd deemed it advisable to create a civil service whore who must be appointed to the branch of the organization as executive secretary, with authority to keep in his possession at all times the records of the organization, so that if at any time the officers left the organization the records might be secure in the hands of the organization, so that should be paid according to the financial ability of the local division. In case a division was unable to pay the parent body should contribute to the salaries. Officers of local divisions would be allowed to sit for the civil service position, so that the requirements would be returned to their branches as civil servants. In reference to identification passports mentioned, he stated that considerable difficulty was sometimes experienced by some in travelling from the country to another. To relieve the embarrassment he recommended that passports be issued to every financial member of the U. N. I. A. by which they would not only be able to prove their identity when travelling, but also to recommend them to the consideration and respect of the various Liberian Delegation Relative to the work of the delegation sent to Liberia, he said he was informed by His Highness the Potentate that splendid work was being done. The Surveyor, Department was busy and purchased a farm of about 100 acres and was now working on it in the interests of the organization. The Medical Department had reported that they had established medical service in Liberia. The secretariat was functioning as the official headquarters of the U. N. in regard to the African program, if they were to be able to put it through, the unemployment in this country among Negroes could be relieved by sending some of the unemployed to work where the U. N. L. A. had chosen. Shortly before the meeting, the Government tendered his resignation on the ground that he could not give his entire time and service to the organization during the ensuing year, the resignation to take effect from the rising of convention. The mobilizer was tabled by the university of the house, several delegates apparently not regarding the matter seriously. NINTH DAY (A Lively Goraton.) These were lively exchanges on Friday morning when the delegates continued to elicit information from the students. The question of the diplomacy of certain past officers of divisions and rumored improprieties on the part of high officials occupied chief attention and was productive of agricultural dis- After the lunchon assignment the High Chancellor and the Assistant-General ware interferegetated about certain times of these reports and answered to the entire attestation of the Inquest. The remaining testimony was presented in additional written diaries made by the President-General eminent, the leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies, the asst. his competence to fill the post, and the results of his years work which the President-General had were poor and placed the West Indian Judean in the position of a liability rather than an asset to the organization, were copied. When the session was adjourned, the investigation was set concluded, and it was deodded: that the convention should assemble on Saturday morning to conclude it. The convention assembled at 10 o'clock on Saturday, morning, when the West Indian leader was subjected to a rigid questioning by the house. It was finally decided, that the charges of the President-General be uphold. COLORED WOMEN GIVE REMARKABLE ART AND INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION The Woman's Art and Industrial Exhibition, which was arranged by the High Commissioners of the U. N. L. A. with whom was associated Kirk, Mary Johnson of Connecticut, was a stifling feature. The Hon. F. A. Toote was also connected with the exhibition as Vice Director of the second annual international convention. For months the Commissioner's General's office was busy discharging literature with reference to the exhibition, and soliciting aid from the woman of various divisions for defraying the expense. The response was a very fine one, and several exquisite articles were received from woman of various backgrounds, who open the West Indies and Central America. A detailed account of the entire exhibition will appear in a special edition of the "Negro World" at an early date. For the moment we would merely remark that the demonstrations of Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Sharpeyron Young, of New York, Mrs. Waldrum Filt and a few others, were of exceptional worth of merit of meritorious propriety and recommended the article which will appear in the coming special number of the "Negro World." Miss Clark, who represented Durant's dressmaking establishment, created quite a sensation with her unique demonstration. Chapinias and stained professors, old age and youth, fall vipers to the charm of manner which the charm of the dressmaking generation by Miss Clark. There were wages who declared that even Hilda Grace the Chapinian General and the venerable High Classical Vied with the rest of the male holders in showing their appreciation. On Women's Night Wednesday, His Highness the Puttonate made the open air dance, and many can produce in a new desirable way. Miss Hemerford V. Davis International Organism, was the queen of the evening and enhanced her reputation as an excellent educator. The Lady President of the New Orleans Division struck a distinctive note when she lectured to men as to what women expected of them. Mrs. Puttonate and her colleagues in due much praise for the fine display they were able to make at such a notice. CORRESPONDENCE they were only Negroes, and hence could be treated like shuttlecocks in the game of battledore and shuttlecock. A few believe that Dr. Durkee, who came a complete stranger to Washington, unknowingly took sides in long-standing feuds of powerful and jealous Negroes. But more believe that, coming from New England, he has been more or less influenced by the strong Bourbon sentiment of the national capital which does not regard the Negro as a man. There will be unrest and dissatisfaction in Howard and Washington school affairs as long as pull and favorism rather than worth and merit land men in clover and determine the handling out of plums. Howard University has undoubtedly great possibilities; but those possibilities can best be fulfilled by not reducing to automakers, mannikens and figure-heads the mention the faculty, who possess brains and manliness of and the white and black elements must sooner or later learn to live amicably side by side." In a word, Dr. Charles T. Walker was an educated "Uncle Tom," and was the religious exponent of the Booker T. Washington philosophy of the race question. In New York he organized the Y. M. C. A., and in Augusta, Ga., built up a wonderful church, a Y. M. C. A., and an educational and industrial institute. For a man of his renowned abilities and achievements he was a modest, unassuming man. But what shall we say of his solution of the race question? A VOICE FROM BRITISH HONDURAS It is undoubtedly true that if the Negro would recognize the Caucasian as his superior in the South, and would graciously accept a social, civil, political, industrial and economic status lower than that of his white neighbors—if he would remember that he was a Negro and know his place, there would be peace and tranquility in the South. But this is the fly in the ountment. The New Negro is not satisfied with a position of inferiority. He is not worrying about social equality, but he does desire equality before the law and economic opportunity. The Editor the Negro World. Dear Sli- Permit me to make an appeal on behalf of my Negro brethren who live in this part of the colony of British Honduras. You will agree with me that the Negro, wherever he may be at this present moment, stands in need of help. He should be made to feel that he owes himself the duty of self-development, and to this duty he must turn his immediate attention. With those who have been awakened to this fact, there is at present a difficulty, and one which, in my opinion, you are able to lessen in part. Reading, much reading and still more reading, will lead to self-development and today the amusement of real New Negro—realities (thanks to the Hon. Marus Garvey), that his reading must be general and extensive—not merely confined to the history, antiquity, progress and development of other races as he has been taught to do in the past. From 1895 to 1915, Dr Booker T Washington tried to make the Negro swallow disfranchisement, jim crow cars, segregation, restricted educational preparation and economic opportunity. He was backed and financed by the philanthropists, educators and political leaders of the country. He had the ear of three presidents. Those Negroes who followed his lead landed educational, ecclesiastical and political plums, and were stall fed. Those who did not follow his lead were left out in the cold and were grass fed. But in spite of his popularity, power and prestige, the noted leader could not keep back the rising and surging tide of Negro aspiration and Negro ambition. And since the World War, black men have felt that if they were good enough to fight and die for a country, they ought to be good enough to enjoy some of the privileges and opportunities of the country. But the question often arises, "What to read?" or often "of whom may I purchase any great Negro publication?" Here lies the difficulty. Most of our people do not know what to read. Negro publications have not been advertised widely enough. Now that the book is available, they should be given the chance to choose his books from the literary works of Negro writers. As Dean Kelly Miller said: "Dr. Washington did bring about more cordial relations between the races." Dr. C. T Walker did bring about an armistice or temporary truce in Augusta, Ga., but it was not a permanent peace. As soon as the Negro gets educated and prosperous, thinks he is a man, and demands a man's chance, opportunities and treatment, hostilities will be resumed. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are especially 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 living of white and Negro people amicably side by side in the South is a consummation devoutly to be desired. But it can never come about as long as artificial laws and restrictions prevent the unfolding and development of the Negro as a spiritual being. It can never come about as long as the laws of man assign the Negro a lower place in the scale of creation than that to which the God of Nature assigned him to. It can never come about as long as the color of the skin and the texture of the hair rather than the mind and heart of a man are the determining factors in determining his social, civil political, industrial and economic status. May I ask, on behalf of those also who share this difficulty elsewhere, that you publish from time to time, in the pages of the Negro World, Negro publications dealing with the history, achievements and general progress of the Negro race, together with the names of publishers of whom they may and are certain that the sub-scribers and the author are no-more (not) will very much appreciate this, and be very grateful to you for doing so. A PIONEER OF NEGRO CULTURE SUCH is the title of an editorial in the New York World on Sunday, August 7, which we publish in the current issue of The Negro World. Rev. Dr. Charles T. Wallker, the celebrated "Black Spurgeon" of Augusta, Ga., who recently passed away, was the theme of the editorial. And it is encouraging to find a paper of the prestige and standing of the New York World devoting an editorial to a Negro preacher. It also devoted a column in the news section to the black preacher and stated that Chief Justice William H. Taft, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, and John D. Rockefeller went to hear him whenever they were in Augusta. While many Negroes in the Western Hemisphere do not desire to reside permanently in tropical Africa, yet there are hundreds of thousands of them who feel that they ought to get their share of the gold, the ivory, the ebony, the mahogany, the cocoa, the coffee, the rubber, the palm oil and the diamonds. The New Negro indeed feels that the time has now come when he should adorn his writings and beautify his orations by making use of quotations culled from authors and authoresses of his race. No longer must he permeatively bind himself to quotations foreign to his race, no longer must he resort to the writings of other races as a means to his edification and self-idealization. He has been enough to let the pages of the Negro World show him the Negro literature he requires. Do this and watch results. For three hundred years the Negro has been the hewer of wood and drawer of water for other races, and has enabled them to roll and revel in luxury. In times past and gone, he was satisfied to receive his reward in the New Jerusalem, a city not made with hands, whose builder and maker is God. But now he wants some of that reward here and now, in this earthly life, and on this planet on which he lives and breathes and moves, and has his being. He does not despise spiritual rewards, but he does desire to enjoy some of the blessings of Mother Earth. W. H. F We have heard Dr. Walker speak five times, three times in Augustus, once in Savannah, Ga., and once in Chicago. While we do not know whether he could actually outclass the English Spurgeon as a preacher, as some of his admirers have proclaimed, we regard him as one of the greatest preachers and orators we have ever heard. In February, 1918 we heard Dr. Walker speak before over twelve thousand people in the Coliseum of Chicago when he had lost his youthful life. We saw a dark complexioned, man about five feet nine inches in height, broad shouldered, deep chested, that leanness of limb and absence of fat which characterized the trained athlete. His voice was rather loud and not musical, but it was a powerful voice, carried well, and the speaker could throw tremendous passion into it. Then Dr. Walker possessed self-possession on the platform and had command of himself. He never hurried, was calm and deliberate in his manner of speaking and impressed his hearers that he had commanded himself, his subject and his audience. Dr. Walker possessed the physique, voice and manner which make the spoken word effective. In a word, he had an impressive personality. I S. LAHOODIE Forest Home, Toledo, British Hon durs. MR. COBLEIGH ON HOWARD UNIVERSITY A MESSAGE FROM CUBA MR. RALFE COBLEIGH, managing editor of the "Congregationalist," the official organ of the Congregationalists of America, will be remembered as the brilliant writer who made such a ringing protest against the segregation of Negro government employees seven or eight years ago. His attitude then endearded colored men to him. Recently Mr. Cobleigh wrote an interesting article on his impressions of Washington in which he praised Col Theodore Roosevelt, President Durkee and Secretary-Treasurer Scott. The Editor, The Negro World The Editor, a space in your most valuable pocket. When I observe the more rapid and steady growth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I am curious to know what has the Negro to fear, and why should he doubt himself. If we as a race would recall our hard years of toll, if we as a race could but see the vast increase of what such toll has procured to every one else but the Negro, we would decide that the Negro has no reason whatever to be contented. The Negro discontented with the world would give me death' Liberty to have my full share in the sunlight of Africa, or death, rather than to breach our most determined vow. Let us take Ireland, for instance, that nation, though in her years of struggle for her freedom, we cannot but admit, that they as a white nation have more chances of a sunlight than the Negro. And if that nation with her better chances, if they with their better recognition can strike the blow for their freedom, I fail to see why the Negro should doubt and crumble. We have outlived the age of stand- ing still and have entered the moving age. We have outlived the age of the reconstruction of an African Empire. Arise and shine ye sons and Daughters of Ethiopia for thy light has come. And the intellectual elements of Dr. Walker matched the physical. He logically developed his text or theme. He took his time in analyzing a text or theme, and when he finished his exposition the hearer's mind had been convinced or persuaded. And in the course of the exposition Dr. Walker said many wise and witty things. And then he could rise to a climax, moving rapidly from one side of the pulpit to the other and waving his arms and throwing his whole personality into his perceptions. We will recall the climax of Dr. Walker's Collision address. He said: "The war is on and it is no time to talk of disfranchisement, segregation and jim-crow cars. But when the war is over, when the war is over, when the war is over," and then Dr. Walker wrapped his arms around his body, shook himself, walked across the platform, held himself erect and shunted out." "We will walk up to every white man, look him in the eye, and say as the prodigal son said: "Father, I want my portion of the inheritance." The applause, noise and din was so deafening that it was nearly five minutes before the noted black orator could proceed. One sister arose and cried out, "Oh, Brother Walker." The entire article was written in an optimistic vein and with so many pessimistic prophets predicting hard times and calamities it is encouraging to find one writer taking a hopeful view of things. But there are two sentences in Mr. Cobleigh's articles which may be questioned. He says: "When Dr Durkee went to Washington he found Howard University too much divided into its many departments, with a dean at the head of each acting independently and with too little regard for the leadership of the university itself. All that has been changed, not without opposition and some bitterness, but today the institution is unified under the strong, wise and kindly presidency of Dr. Durkee, and effective work is being done in all departments." This statement would have the reader to infer that the elevations, demotions at Howard University during the past two years were like the extraction of an eye tooth, which gave temporary pain, but permanent relief. You can't know exactly the full force and sweep of the fire, the extent to which the interior has been destroyed, what rooms have been burned and what scorched unless you are inside the burning building. And if you tarry there long your flesh will go up in smoke and ashes. But, surveying the fire at a distance, you can by the mass of ascending smoke and flame approximate the nature and extent of the conflagration. So, too, we know very little about the internal affairs of Howard University because we have never had any heart to heart talk about it with any of the trustees or faculty. But the talks we have had with some of the alumni and students and the letters we have received from some of them and the gossip that we have heard have convinced us that some of the changes the present administration have made have been viewed with great alarm by the colored people of the country. And the proposal to shoulder three or four positions on a young and inexperienced recruit to the law school has been viewed with amusement. We have heard, Chaucey M. Depew away an audience in the Hyderion Theatre of New Haven, we have heard William Jennings Bryan captivate an audience of 12,000 in the Mechanica' Building of Boston and we have heard Bourke Cochran take Fanuel Hall by worm. But we have never heard a climax worked up to more artificially and executed more dramatically than the climax of that black actor in the Coliseum three years ago last February. Now that Mr. Marcus Garvey has returned to the United States of America, I am curious to know from the Doctors of Decesta, the meaning of an undesirable alien. The Hon. Marcus Garvey did not only return to the States, but at sea sent messages of his return, which shows his permission to return and that he was on schedule. There is an old saying that a half dozen such messages subdued to deal with that introduced. But where the knockers of Garvylum are concerned, we find the educated the more dangerous. As a speaker Dr. Walkers, unique power resided in the fact that he could entertain a cultured audience as well as Bishop J. Albert Johnson of the A. M. E. Church and sweep the masses as well as Bishop William H. Heard. And yet we would not rank him as a greater ombat than Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, the editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. But Dr. Walkera popularity with the whites resided in the fact that he was not only a great preacher, whether in meagre by white or Negro standards. But because as the World stated, he caused the white and black elements to live amicably side by side in Augusta, Ida. "The Augusta Chronicle says: "The editor of the Chroniclelebus heard film tell his own congregation at Tabernacle Baptist Church that each riota as occurred at East St. Louis, Ill., and other places in the North could not occur in Augusta. We have heard him tell the Negroes to recognize the fact that they are Negroes, that they cannot be white people and therefore can never have social equality, that they can dwell in place and friendship with their white neighbors of Augusta and the South, who are their yell, true felenda. Dr. Walker told his people that their place was in the South, and nursed them to stay there to behave themselves and cultivate the relationship of the white people." And the same editorial characterization that "black skinned but golden hearted old Negro." The New York World, in commenting on this editorial said: "An annual in the Augusta Chronicle calls attention by its tribute to Dr. Walker, the "black surgeon of the South," in a possible narrative proclaiming in this county which has apparently not One of the demoted deans won a deserved reputation as a writer and speaker, and by his genial personality did a great deal to popularize Howard University. Two other teachers in one of the professional schools who were listed for demotion did a great deal to build up that department. Twenty-five years ago President Gates of Amherst College, one of the most brilliant and magnetic men who ascended to the presidency of that college, demoted, reduced in power and paved the way for the resignation of a few old and popular professors. The disapproval of the alumni, friends and student body was so strong that he himself resigned. Even Dr. Elliot of Harvard University, who introduced the elective system in American colleges and universities, came in for censure because he was reported to have paved the way for the resignation of two famous Greek scholars who had grown old in the service. So the white president of a white university usually has to go slow in demoting or forcing the resignation of men whose work has helped to make the university what it is. An educated man plus deceit is the most desperate being on God's earth to get along with; and when highly tensioned with deceit he has a tendency to believe he is walking on the marbles of Heaven. But, as they can't fool the people all the time, their dice are sure to turn against them. HENRY O. MATTOS Havana, Cuba. August 7, 1921. Now, impartially 'surveying the matter from the spectators' viewpoint, this is how we alize up the situation: There is a growing feeling that some of this colored men on the faculty of Howard University of recognized ability, and long and faithful service would not have been treated in such a cavalier manner by a white president were they white professors in a white institution of fearing. But Editor of the Negro World. Dear Sir. Please allow me space in our valuable paper to express my feelings in the following article. Thanking you in advance, I beg to give thanks to God for our Moses. His Excellency the Provisional President of Africa, the Honorable Marcus Garvey—the man of the hour. No Napoleon, no Washington, no Lincoln, no Julius Caesar, no Oliver Cromwell has proven us such a leader as the Hon. Marcus Garvey. I am proud and very proud that I have had the pleasure of seeing his face, and speaking to him in our Liberty Hall of Colon. Now is the time for every Negro to do his bit. We know that attempts have been made in the past to prove that the Negro was not a human being, but in this age of the world a preposterous idea does not receive countenance. The progress of the Negro race in spite of malice and prejudice have made this theory so absurd, that today no one can be found to advocate it. Men cannot refuse the fixed decree of omnipotence. Nothing but the power of God can save the Negro from extinction. Four hundred millions of blacks are doomed to extinction, for remember that the other races regard the Negro as a lawful natural slave, but we are cognizant of the fact that God created us of one blood all nations of men to dwell upon the face of the earth. God did not create an inferior race. There are races with inferior conditions, and these may be black and white, but I say that there is no absolute or essential superiority one side or another. All of us are a unity in the plan of salvation. No man is too inferior to be saved in all the wonderful works of creation. The making of man is God's crowning act of creation, and whoever has this image is an infallible credential of his high origin and sonship. The time has come for Ethiopia to stretch forth her hands and we, her sons and daughters, must cement ourselves together and help to redeem our fatherland. Clapping of hands, flowery speeches, and frivolous talk will not business, but our hands will not business, but our hands in our courthouse pool our dollars together for the redemption of Africa. We have before us a very broad program, the subject of which is the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the following items: Intellectual, moral, political, industrial and commercial uplift of the Negro peoples of the world. Let us now forget selfishness and be loyal to this cause. Negroes who have not caught the vision. I am enticing you to buy the Negro World every week and read it carefully. It will help you to become interested in your race. It will help you to have a height hope for the future. It will help you to become a new Negro. Are we not children of the same God? Are we not all compelled to think whether we wish to or not, when we see the unrest of the people of the world, these things create certain serious thoughts in our mind. No man can think as he deerves or control the action of his heart. The blood purifies our old accustomed course in spite of us, the eyes see, the ears hear, the brain thinks something, the heart believes inherited the ability to work through the abuse of slavery. No race has improved wonderfully as the Negro race, though handcapped in all things that tend to their uplift. A boy of the Negro race and one of another start in a store as a porter at the same time. The other boy, not having the ability of education, will be promoted in a short time to be a clerk and from then on to be a partner. The Negro boy will remain where he has started, kept down as a slave. From this economic slavery let us free ourselves and now is the time. Let us work together.

That, in consequence of certain misrepresentations as to the political aims of this association toward Liberia, this convention wishes to emphasize and reiterate the views and ideas as expressed by the Potentate and President General, that the purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association with respect to the Republic of Liberia, is solely and purely industrial and commercial, with a view of assisting the peoples of Liberia in strengthening and improving their country, generally. That, with respect to the loan sought by the Liberian Republic from the Government of the United States, we, the delegates, here assembled, congratulate your Honorable Plenary Commission on the success so far attained, and pray that the ultimate result may be as your Honorable Commission may desire. (Signed) MARCUS GARVEY, LIBERIAN PLENARY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. August 12, 1921. William C. Matthews, Esq., Assistant Counsel-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, New York City, N.

Dear Sir I have the honor by direction of the President of Liberia to tackle the receipt of your note addressed to the Liberian Plenary Com- mission dated August 4, 1921, covering a letter expressing the sentiments of the Second International Convention of Liberia and the Negro Improvement association now assembled at 120 Worth 138th street, New York City, with regard to the Republic of Liberia and its people. ```markdown ``` In reply, I am further directed to say that the President and the Commission while appreciating the kind sentiments of your association with regard to the Republic of Liberia and its peoples are also pleased to note the declaration made over the signatures of the official heads of the association to the following effect: "That the purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association with respect to the Republic of Liberia is able and purely industrial and commercial, with a view of assisting the peoples of Liberia in strengthening and improving their country generally. The President is of the opinion that this declaration of the association is most opportune, in view of the representations that have become current as to its political aims in Liberia and Africa generally. That the Republic of Liberia, as a sovereign state with corresponding international responsibilities, could not permit its territories to be used as a center of hostile attacks upon other sovereign states, by any organization now operating or which may desire to operate within its political and territorial jurisdiction, is a fact which the President of Liberia hopes that your association will fully appreciate.

The Editor of The Negro Worlds The Editor of The Negro World! Sli- Permit me space in your columns to say a few words pertaining to the Negro and the U. N. L. A. While I am a stranger to this country, you know that the color race is the same, and that the colored race (as a whole) have received since the Garvey movement has taken root. I have been traveling a little and my decision is based solely on what I have seen during my travels, and I and every true and loyal Negro should be proud of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whom I style as a "modern Moses." I have been following the movement of Mr. Garvey for some time, and I think he should be looked upon in the same light as Mr. Ghandi is looked upon by the Indians of India. The impression I want readers to have is that there are black sheep in every nation and in all assemblies. Daily we read of members of the white race planning to overthrow their respective governments, so people should not believe that all Negroes NEGROS trying to overthrow very ground from under their own curved feet. / Had it not been for the Garvey movement would the Negro race own a ship? I say emphatically no, and the time I has come for one and all of the colored race to unite and follow their able and good shipmen. Hon. Marcus Garvey, on the road to purity. We are in no way inferior to thy white rock, but our dripping sap, causes We are not united as sad. I warn reading it, in row, remarked, made by thee.

What does that Mitchell, editor of the Richmond Planet, want in the future in respect to color, and not the old Negro face ranging from white to black in theubican convention held yesterday at Buckroe Beach. Basculations to call and hold a convention at Richmond September 5 to serve ways and means of obtaining information about the other States offices were unanimously passed by the Buckroe meeting. Negró Lawyer Speaks J. T. Newsome, attorney of Newport News, made the keynote address of the meeting, declaring that the Negroes were gathered for the purpose of concluding "against segregation in politics." The meeting yesterday was an aftermath of the "Lily Whites" Republican convention held recently in Norfolk, where the party's leaders insisted from the councils and consideration of the party in Virginia as represented by the white Republicans. Approximately 300 Negroes from all parts of the state attended the Buckingham County meeting — Evening Progress, August 8. WHAT DOES THE CARVEY MOVEMENT MEAN TO NEGRO WOMANHOOD As Interpreted by Mrs. Lavinin D. M. Smith, Editor Universal News and Special Class Teacher, Cleveland Public Schools, and Cleveland Reporter of the Negro World It has been a truism in history that no race can rise higher than its women. Marcus Garvey has demonstrated to the world the truth and justice of this by giving Negro women an equal chance and opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with the men in the world of Africa. With many people the opinion prevails that no control over thoughts is needed. They maintain that thoughts are bodiless, without any substantial element, that they may dismay or frighten. It would astonish many people how close is the interrelation between motives thought and deed. When a man wills what is good and true, the will flows into the thought and if persisted in, leads to addiction. Driven out by strong will power, gain an ascendency over the mind, and ultimately burst forth into evil deeds. So in this great cause, the thought was father to the deed that Negro men, in order to re-assert their power, must have their women behind them. "Let the world bwore when a great thinker is let loose. Marcus Garvey has set the entire womanhood of the race to thinking. He has brought them to realize the fact that they were born to be by prejudice, more than by prejudice. Through all generations women have looked for the good time coming. It has been the dream of the poet, the certain expectation of the prophet, and the daring experiment of the reformer. The antipation has been abundantly reflected in the temperaments of the temps have been made to limn the universal desire for happiness in terms of concrete reality. Plato laid down the principles of an ideal commonwealth in his republic. Campanella wrote of the Cloim of the sun: Hacon treated of New York in 1812, outlined principles of a new co-operative commonwealth, but made several experiments in that direction. In our time, women of other races have fought long and hard to gain what they termed were their rights from their men. But they wanted and only what they wanted and it was given them. --- ```markdown ``` We all carry a chamber of imagery in the depths of our being, and we continually populate this secret chamber with pictures of our own imagination. We own our own imagination, our own chamber of imagery; his hand, that his powers, populate it with pictures, and he is responsible for what he adopts. So with our women. For years we have thought of the latent possibilities for good within us and of our own imagination, and these possibilities, Marcus Garey has made it possible for us to show to the entire world our capabilities. He has removed our girls from positions of temptations and placed them their own group. He has opened up the world to them, apparently closed to our women and impaled, them with confidence in themselves to branch out into what were not prohibited fields of endeavor. He has brought a great many women out to the world, and they have been in the class of producers. They have caught the philosophy that affliction is sometimes the source of great joy and happiness, and that if they only, who have suffered can be happy. His happiness it contains. Marcus Garey has said that the contents of members of the Universal Movement Association must be of the Negro race. What does that portend? A more uniform Negro race in the future in respect to color, and not the old Negro race ranging from after dinner coffee to lemon meringue. He has taught them to see value and not to be blinded by color. He a man not by the color of his skin, but by his soul. He has pointed out to many of the avenues of right living and thinking, and is demonstrating to us that what a man rightly desires above all else he must work for until he proves that it is his. In our daily experiences sometimes the visibility on the horizon of our appearance diminished the mistletoe leaf and the mistletoe bud. But we, the mothers of the new Negro have caught the vision from Marcel Garvey which, if put into words, would be: God give us men. A time like this demands Great hearts, strong minds, true faith and willing hands. Men whom the lust of office will not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie. For whom rabble with their thumb wore crease, their large professions and their little deeds, Wrangle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom Wrong rules the race, and waiting Justice sleeps. AFRICAN DOINGS OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN The children of Africa in Detroit witnessed the twelfth annual convention of the national association for the advancement of colored people, which opened on June 26, 1921, and continued for i.x days. The convention opened with a parade by the fraternal orders and a few other features, such as an automobile carrying about five nurses from the Dunbar Hospital. Five small bands (about two ordinary ones) accompanied the parade. It marched down the main Negro district to Woodward avenue, the most popular centre of Detroit's white community. But one of the most remarkable displays of contempt was that few white people were to be seen on that popular avenue, though it was a Sunday; they kept off the scene, and the few who were not were cool and hearty to themselves. The street cars went on their way as usual. At some places automobiles ran right through, and at one place a white automobile driver was pulled off his car and drove for running through the parade. A tiny grandstand was built on Antoine street, but even this was done by white carpenters. Moving pictures from the old street said by white photographers. The meeting was held on June 27 at a Negro (Second) Baptist church, all of the other five met at white places, and the rest assembled in a barnacle and Central High School. President King of the Republic of Liberia, West Africa, was booked on the program to speak in the convention. A large crowd went to hear the President, who was the president of Michigan was to award the Spinning medal, but neither President King nor the Governor came that night, and the people were greatly disappointed. The Governor sent a suburban doctor to the care of Dr. Du Bois for Mr. Charles Gilpin. President King was not coming to the N. A. A. C. P. convention in Detroit, but was invited by the white Mayor of the city about three weeks before the convention, and as he was going to the convention one went and asked permission for him to speak, but the President did not come. Mr. Solomon Piaiat, from South Africa, spoke in one of the assemblies, and told that the president was going to Congo, are African people as badly treated as in British South Africa. Mary White Owington, a white woman, chairman of the board of directors for the National Association, for the management of people at the Cathedral of Solvengo in the night of July 1, upon the subject "Distranchion and Tules." Miss Owington left her subject and made a subtle attempt to turn the people's mind against the Hon. Marcus Gawry, who she said "is any one else, and I know that England copressed her dark subjects by keeping them divided. In India she has upheld the caste system, and in the United States she gives privileges to the colored people, and baffles Mr. Gawry is trying to support the colored from the blacks." It is a British idea. "The writer of this report was brought up under British culture, and writes about the people of India."

While Ornstein that the British job their dark subjects by keeping them divided, but the Idea is not exclusively British. It is an idea of the white race, but especially in the highest proportion in Anglo-Foxon. The British people are a party to the stench affair. K eat under a lecture of Mr. Marxus Garvey, the most valuable man on earth, in which he did not fail to state in Bethel Church, Detroit, on a day in 1815 that he covered that white agents were in Haiti dividing the blacks and mulattoes. It should be remembered that the unity of purpose and action which caused Haiti to defeat the armies of the apoplonion was first destroyed by this division in 1815 and agents in Haiti and made her helpless to resist the attack of an American admiral, who in 1815 stole that country in the name of the American people, of which Kiss Ovington is a relative of the French. Up of devils, could land in the Haiti of Toussaint L'Ouverture. But they landed easily in 1918, so here you are, Miss Mary W. Owington, the propaganda of dividing blacks and mulattoes has done its deadly work to a weak people and added to American wealth. This was not an act of the Black Panther, Panama was part of the Colored Republic of Columbia Central America. Panama has been encouraged to rebel from Columbia, and is now under American tutelage. This was not an act of the British. And as one of traveling experience, I declare that in no country in the world are more agencies of division promoted against African people than in the United States. The landlords refused to sell to African people property at popular business places and residential districts; the promoters of large corporations refused to sell them shares in their capital stocks; the writers told them that they are the offspring of beasts that have never built a nation; the school students are exclusive and omnivorous, and the clever artists of the nation flash their brushes continually against them. Red mouth is peculiar to the white race, but her mouth comedians, with watermelon slice, ridiculous twins on gold dust pack, blackened traders and Aunt Jamaica laughers are schemes of white Americans aimed against ARI. The scheme of the black trader Marcus Garvey is destroying this scheme of things and Miss Owington knows these inferior hints have so demoralized the Negro-Americans that if Marcus Garvey succeeds in saving them he ought to be called Colosana, a giant personality. The continuation of these demoralizing hints has separated the Negro-Americans that have been the victims of the grant of the co-operative intelligence of economic life. He knows little or nothing of the buying and selling and distribution of economic goods for the upkeep of his racial group. A little business is done by the American Negro, but the white people do not buy from them, and the Negroes are kept so divided by white Americans that they accept when pressed by the extreme pressure of segregation. This caused the white man to maintain supremacy as master of the land. This propaganda has been practiced so usually by white Americans that even the half-caste and outcast children of syphilite white mothers learned to depreciate the breast and completion of their black skin. Negro told me once that I was black and therefore not good; and I saw a fight between a red and black Afro-American in the Wayne Hotel, 1915 (Detroit), and when I inquired into the cause it was the red called the black a black bastard and the black a black Church and heard F. W. of the Urban League say he had a job for a light complicated colored girl. A certain magazine circulated in Detroit stated that a Negro proacher in a white man's skin was going to Africa to find out how much white blood runs in African veins and this red his sister's sister not to have anything to do with a black man. It is remarkable to note that the girl is gathered on Antoine street for moving pictures, June 26, the few dark ones among them painted their faces with supernatural pink paint in order to be looking like a very British, but an Anglo-Saxon want cult, and the Americans worship at the shrine. Anglo-Saxon writers talied the truth and sacrificed a life, and so blinded the eyes of the dark peoples of the earth that they may rob them of their identity. We speak generally of decem, we speak generally of Anglo-Saxon greatness. British diplomats are not fools. They would not trust Mr. Garvey, a man of anti-British sentiment. He was a guard of stolen African wealth, nor would Mr. Garvey have done so himself, for he knows that a "house divided against itself cannot stand." This is what England could not stand. This is what National organizations, especially if they are Americans of English blood. She would put white裤襟 among Negroes, as in the case of Jonas in Chicago, and use a figurative language, nothing but a learned beast. But that Mr. Garvey could be used to divide Negroes in America, under any circumstances is an error that only a dependent of English blood can make. Why did Catherine Lochea, a white woman from the white people, tell the white people in the black and tell them to read the Critics? If Miss Owington is a friend of the colored people, she will teach the truth that African was the cause of the war. If Miss Owington opened the eyes of the Negro masses to see the importance of their mother country, the gold-thirsting robbers of her race are now afraid they may lose their African goods and millions of dollars in their crops divided and in poisoning their minds against Africa. The U. N. I. A. was not invited to the convention. Its meetings went on as usual. Mrs. Mary Johnson arrived on the floor on 12 on behalf of the women's exhibit. On the night of the above date, a musical recital was given at the white C. A. by pupil from the planing forty-four girls. The colored girls took part in it and won many bouquets. Among them were Misses Naomi Abernathy, Grace Brown, Bessie Stevenson, Francis Mason and Mrs. Washburn. JAS. LOWE MONTREAL NOTES U. N. I. A. Picnic the Grandest Ever Recorded in Montreal—Clarico Dining Room Supplies Long Felt Need — President Potter Attends Convention Montreal Que, Aug. 14—The U. N.

The first train left the city at 8:30 a.m. at 12:11, with a smaller number at 12:11, with a smaller number It was a glorious day and all the patrons drank deep of the summer's sweet wine. There was magnificent music furnished by the U. N. I. A. Orchestra. Never in my life have I heard a song so beautiful and natural named music. It was a delight of unusual quality to be stolen away to reverence and then to dreams by the mingled cadences of violins, clarinet, cornet, cello, etc., as one skilled up and down the beautiful lick which gives a colorful touch to the ambiance of a terribly beautiful note is noted as summer resort. Tuesday was the first time that it was ever placed at the disposal of colored people, and President Potter was the man whose influence made the "acquisition" a secular success. The never to be forgotten enjoyable day was made possible by the sustained, though not of a serious nature. There was a slight indication of unpleasantness as the last item was in progress, but the presence of a few fearing persons frustrated the nefarious scheme. It was colored folk have not yet learned to appreciate the beautiful and the sublime. Mrs. McKinley presided at the indian day celebration. Miss Anne De Shield announced the secret of Garvaryism profoundly and eloquently, and the training execution was a redefinition by Juvenile Lucile McMish. The title of the piece was "Impression" and it was composed by the writer. Miss McMish possesses a voice of subtle charm. For her age she is a marvelous woman, and we are pleased to request for her a successful career as an elocutionist. It has been for a long time that the need for an up-to-date restaurant was greatly felt, and we are pleased to reschedule the training for the management of the Clarice Dining Room, located at 188 St. Antoine street. The interior of this dining hall is cozy, well lighted, comfortable and tastefully decorated. It is essentially the retreat of the Clarice Dining Room, which are unequaled in quality and the prices are moderate. Visitors to Montreal will find the Clarice pleasing in every respect, and the fastidious, too, would be lost in self-satisfying wonderness. Most week's issue of The Clarice Dining Room is a vertirement of this unique restaurant President Potter leaves tonight for the convention. The picnic hindered him leaving before. He has won the confidence and esteem of the members of the local branch. When the branch was engulfed into deep debts he plunged in, rescued it and placed it on its feet again. What more can be expected under existing appalling conditions. Our best wishes for the convention and greetings for the Hon. Marus Garvey. CHARLES H. D.

RENOVATORS & BUILDERS 73 West 131st St. Telephone IAHLRE 6077 The Introduction to the First Annual Report of the High Chancellor of the Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the World, Convened at Liberty Hall; 120 West 138th St., N. Y., Aug. 1 to 31, 1921 His Highness the Fonteinate, His Excellency the High Honorable President General, Honorable Members of the High Executive Council, and Honorable Deputies: The uniform doctrine of the sacred writings is that throughout the universe nothing happens with God. That His hand is ever active, and that His decree or permission intervenes in all; that nothing so minute and inconsiderable as to be below His inspections and care. While He is guiding the sun and moon in their course through the heavens, while in them things are being emptied, while in the raging of the earth, and the wars of the nations. He is at the same time watching over qur'ice. A moment only are we allowed to pause over the astonishing events of the past international Negro convention, when our attention is anxiously turned to the present convention. It is not cura to forget the events of the past, but something may be guessed of impending events by the shadows which they project upon the stage before making their actual appearance. Many things have been revolutionized, more or less, and the dynasties that ruled Germany up to the mighty heads of the nations have have been discovered or had their preoccupations tremendously abridged. Never before has the world witnessed, as probably, it never will witness again, so signal an example of the unstability of human existence of a stage or the imminent character and human love. The prestige of a veritable antiquity, the valor and strength of armies, the sanctions of law, the force of custom, the hardships of life—have proved as unsubstantial and illusory as the painted scenes of a stage or the imminent gorgeous hues and shapes of imposing grandeur. The brave show which the world believed to be solid and lasting has passed away, while once it was the object of general admiration. It seems to be with a special reference to our past, when that prophet crised of old: "All flesh is grass, and all the goodness thereof as the flower of the field." [The financial part of this rapuit was published in last week's issue.] While there are financial drawbacks, yet the future seems bright. It is only for us to exercise faith mingled, with hope and further mixed with love for the future. We face the disappointments of divine providence, their solutions in this age; they are sometimes old with a dark mantle of mystery that human reason cannot fully penetrate. On them we gaze, and concerning them we ponder, but their facades are beyond our comprehension. The skeptic who is disgusted with the obscurity which divine providence has wisely thrown over the future state, conceive that more information is needed to understand the nature and circumstance of man: Introduced into this world, in an indifferent condition we were supported at first by the care of others, and as soon as we began to act for ourselves we began to industry to be necessary for maintaining our lives and supplying our wants. Perseverance. If there be one thing on earth that is admirable, it is to see God's wisdom and blessing honestly, truly and zealously cultivated. The practice of perseverance is the discipline of the noblest viruses. To run away from the fighting but the conquering that gives a hero his title to renown. Great works are not performed by strength but by perseverance. Cyrus Field, in giving his account of the Atlantic teal, said, "It had been a long and hard struggle. Nearly thirteen years of anxious watching and observation, a sea had been led to sink. Offence was wandering in the forests of Newfoundland in the pelling rain, on the deck of ships on dark, stormy nights. I am most acquired aspect of time to market the men of my family. I was for compassions full by our side. I learned to God that I might not taste death. My work was accomplished. I was not acknowledged to me, but the feelings of strength to Almighty God the Althति to�tsreth. Since I took up my position I have visited Philadelphia twice. Pittsburgh and Boston. I was conded to my office work, which required me daily. For five months out of nine I was in charge of Liberty Hall during the absence of the President General, which kept me busy day and night. It was indeed strenuous work in order to keep up the morale until the President revurned. He found everything in full action. He took up from where I stopped and continued to the present. We have no complaints whatever. The members of Liberty Hall are indeed moral. Recommandations 1. I recommend that the officers of the various divisions, on whom we depend for the success of this organization, show the members the necessity of paying the $1 per year assessment tax which was voted for at the convention. 2. That the death tax be sent to the parent body regularly. The work of the U. N. I. A. is not to be carried on by so many fits, but by constant course of progress; still gaining ground upon our opponents, still gaining ground upon our enemies, still your exertions and in tears; more weeping will do nothing, without action. Get on your feet, you have voices and power; go forth and publish the doctrine of the U. N. I. A. in wars, go forth and spend it for the poor, the slack, the needy, the uneducated, the unlightened. Help us in establishing a free and redeemed Africa. You that have time, go forth and spend it for the poor, go forth and spend it for the poor, everyone to his gun in this day of battle for God and my race. Men who have not depth of integrity are like comets they blaze for a time—but men; they never vary—no true men are like fixed stars in their integrity. There are some if they cannot leap into the highest position they will leave it alone, as if it is to be ascended by leaping and not by climbing. Others are unwise that having got six many steps of Jacob's ladder and finding difficulties in some of the uppermost steps, whether wrestling with assault and troubles or looking back upon their old environment, descended with Demax. Even the most sparkling and shining grace cannot take you to heaven of itself without perseverance; nor faith, which is the champion of grace, is it to be faint and fall; nor love, which is the nurse of grace, is it to decline and was cold; nor humility, which is the adornment and beautifier of grace, is the obedience, nor patience, except, they, have their perfect wholes, Perseverance requires every grace and commands every duty. If it is not only faith and hope, but the holding our confidence and the relishing of our hope, firm to the end that God looks at. Not the seeming seal and swifteness of our emotion at the first start, but the holding of our confidence in our course till the face is finished. Let us not be beary in working for this 'emigration' to our day season we shall read if we fail not. Respectfully submitted.

HOMAGE TO GARVEY Garvey, then price of Merress the world over; We pay the our homage today; For the worth of the teachings thy love and thy care. Oh, where are the gossies that blighted from the caverns. And the birds spring sweetly tooth the spread of the palm trees; so eagletshrinkchamafvp And where all the so secluded With the gold fawn a-siding From the touch of adventurous hands? I petched a lark at the spice tree. And sang out the notes I composed in my dreams. And those wild woods were delighted With these wild and childish strains, For the echoes came back like floats on the air. And now I can look back on those glorious days. When I smiled in my tears and smiled in my joy. And now how I wish that those days would come back. To entice me closely amidst nature so remembrent; And bring back to me the freedom of wild woods and flowers Of birds and of trees and of stream-clear Where through the silent valleys and marches I flitted to the call of silence and sweet harmony Which swells upon the bosom o. nature in the tropics. Even though afar in space and time—awake or in my dreams— I still can hear the mountains and the hills tails a-calling to me. LILLIAN D. MANSON. New York, Aug. 8.

They have changed since the year of sixty-five: ' You stay in the South or you won't be alive. You who went to war with him know well what he can do. And when it comes to self-protection, good God, pity you! I warn you now, Ku Klux Klan. Do not increase your ghostlike band, and you wish to save lives, families and land. The Negro today is a thinking man. And, when you start the fight, be sure how much you can stand. You will always remember the wild West and its stages. So will the Negro remember those cruel outrages. Not inflicted by the terrible Indian or Hun. But by his white Western and Southern countrymen. Their hearts must be blacker than the darkest night. To burn a man without giving him a chance to fight. Why not abolish the terrible rope and stake? And then see the progress and peace you will make. Instead of inflicting fresh wounds of hate. By letting the Ku Klux Klan become your barbarous mata. The Negro has progressed in knowledge, like the rest. And is only too willing for a trial and test. You claim to be wise, then why close your eyes. When in every corner are the enemies' best spies? The U. S. can't afford to fight her colored sons. When she recalls what they did in Europe to the Huns. At any moment there is liable to be another war. And surely America would not pass the Negro's door. Did you ever stop to think how terrible it would be. To have the vast Negro population your enemy? But they are far from being a barbous race. And war and turmoil do not suit their taste. He is anxious to be studying and learning. So as to keep the sparks of genius still burning. Now, Ku Klux Klan, don't come North. Unless you wish the devil himself to come forth. WILLIAM B. CRAMPTON, JR. New York City. HE CAME BY THE WAY OF NEW ORLEANS "ANTI" POLICY OF KU KLUX CONDEMNED Lending Richmond Paper Declares in Strong Editorial That Klan Is Anti-Catholic, Anti-Jew and Anti-Negro — Asked to Define Its Americanism RICHMOND, Va. Aug. 14—A very significant editorial on the Ku Klux Klan appeared in the Saturday afternoon editions of the News-Leader That the Klan is anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic (Jewish) and anti-Negro has never been refuted, declared the editorial writer, and as such is a dangerous monace rather than an aid to true Americanism. The News-Leader editorial follows: "In an advertisement in this morning's Times-Dispatch the 'American Civic Association' announces that a meeting to be held under its auspices at the John Marshall auditorium last evening was 'prevented by a revocation at the last minute of the permit' to use the hall." Arrangements have been made for another meeting at a later date in the city auditorium, "at which time," the advertisement reads, "you will be advised as to why this permit was revoked." "In case the advertisement in the Times-Dispatch arouses any curiosity as to 'why this permit was revoked,' the News-Lender is very happy to announce," the reasons for the revocation of the permit, so far as they relate to this newspaper or are known to it. "Westerday morning two Catholic citizens waited on the News-Leader and stated that a meeting was to be held at the John Marshall auditorium, to which admission was by card only, and that they would be glad if the News-Leader would have a reporter present in order to advise the public if any effort was made to arouse opposition to any candidate on religious grounds. The citizens asked no more, no less, and neither by them nor by the News-Leader was revocation of the permit for the meeting mentioned. "As the News-Leader always has fought and, please God, always will fight for absolute freedom of conscience, the News-Leader thought it proper to comply with the request to send a representative to the meeting. The minister scheduled to deliver address, Rev. J. N. Harker, was reached by telephone, and asked the reporter to telephone him and whether it had any board on the local campaign. He replied that he would be glad to bring tickets to the News-Leader and be assured the paper that the meeting had no political aspect. "That seemed to end the matter. But when cards of admission to the meeting were supplied the News-Letter it was noted that on each of them a peculiar arrow pointed to a line that read 'For information address P. O. box 1874.' The number seemed familiar. In the files of the paper was a memorandum of a conversation last summer with a man who had represented himself as State manager or State organiser of the Ku Klux Klan. Attached was his address. It was 'P. O. box 1874,' the same number that appeared on the card of admission to last night's meeting. Another question, and one much larger than the one that had been settled, immediately arose. Was the 'American Civic Association' another name for the Ku Klux Klan or was the association of the leader did not know yesterday and does not know today, but it reported the facts to the Superintendent of Schools as they are here related. It appears that Mr. Hill examined his records and found that the association violated the terms of its agreement for the use of the John Marehall auditorium by issuing cards of admission. He thereupon revoked the permit. "For observing the postoffice box number, for asking whether the 'American Civic Association' and the Ku Klux Klan were one and the same organization, and for putting the facts before the superintendent of schools, the News Leader was responsible. It assumes that responsibility most cheerfully. In the public mind the Ku Klux Klan is associated with anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic and anti-Negro leanings. It has never disbelieved the public mind if that impression is erroneous. Until the Ku Klux Klan comes out in the open, explains the construction of the building, knows its officers and members, the public cannot be expected to drop the suspicions. Certainly, until these things are done, the News Leader will not open its columns to the Ku Klux Klan or cease to oppose the use by that organization of municipal buildings, construced with: the money paid in taxes; by all citizens of all creeds. "If the 'American Civio Association' is another name for the Virginia division of the Kru-Klu Klang, and if the association holds to the suspected tenants of the Klu, probably the same recoaching applies and precisely the same position will be taken by this news-room application, and precisely the Association is put the Kru-Klu Klang. An application of any port with it, why cannot that fact, be stated unequivocally." BLOOD DISEASES Died for free locally about special precautions necessary in thousands of cases.

The "middle class" having struck out for itself under the splendid leadership of the intrepid Marcia Gavry, without the aid or consent of white wet nurses, or the O. K. of the self-styled "better class," calling itself "colored," which takes itself very seriously, quite naturally must exert the fears and apprehensions of the former to its ability to function without its superior guidance and the wife and sapient counsel of the latter—whose much learning hade made it mad. The middle class will continue to go on in it, only to realize that of either of these superfluous elements now, that it has gotten its stride and only requests that they will attend to their own business and permit it to do the same. We are a little bit surprised at the learned and self-sufficient John Crosby Gordon's deliberate and gratious alander that a color line exists in the U. N. L. A. There never was an organization of black and colored people in America in which the color line is so conspicuous by its absence and so unpopular as in the U. N. I A. There is absolutely no friction or feeling, and no intention to encourage this crass noncease. Mr. Gordon is badly advised, and as a gentleman of light and readiness, he ought to apologize, unless he can give specific proofs of his mischievous (I will not say malicious) statement Produce your facts, Mr. John Grosby, and be specific, "No. its slander whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue out-venoms all the worms of Nile." The people who comprise the membership of the U N I A. are at least intelligent enough to understand that the deity of all the peoples of the Negroid races, whether their hair is strengthened or crisp, is identical. They have neither the time nor the patience to quibble about color or chan. this is left to the "intellectuals" who make this constant in word and act, with the Almighty because He made them black or colored, and who are trying by artificial means to improve on his handwork. Mr. John Grosby Gordon will act the part of a very wise man by preserving a discreet silence to what the U N I A, is and stands for. We deny emphatically that the condition precedent to admission to its ranks is color. Mr. Gordon affirms that it is. Let him give a specific case, supported by facts, since he knows so much about the workings of the organization, or keep silent. It seems that the Republican organization of the city, county and State of New York have all had a hand in the side-tracking of Charles W. Anderson for the post he formerly occupied, that of internal revenue inspector, second district. The less antique stood by consenting to the sacrifice, while the wielders of the meat axe. Messas, Koongi, a Jew, and Calder, the United States Senator, cut and carved to their heart's content, and then, like the old prophet, asked. "Art thou in health my brother?" No man can be in very good health when a carving knife sharpened to the nth degree, in thrust through his anatomy by his pretended friends, and this is what the "white friend" of Chas. W. Anderson, jealous (some of) Chas. W. Anderson, jealous would suffer by comparison with Anderson in scholarship and oratory, have done to him. It is a mind, underhanded piece of work, and it ought to be resented by Negro voters, as I believe it will be when the time for reinforcing complaints arrives. The biggest brained, wealthiest and most intelligent white man in New York wanted Mr. Anderson for collector. Those with the workers of a colony, not and so they worked together openly and under cover, docetically and hypocritically, to defeat the political ambition of a Negro who had worked his way up from the lowest rung of the ladder to one of the highest places within the gift of a President, who went out of way to compliment his executive ability to praise his public worth. Very naturally politicized understrappers accidentally pushed his public into Senate seats, and chairmanships in important committees, would instantly become the first opportunity presenting itself to demote such a Negro! "They have did it" in this case, and now, Mr. Blackman, it is your next move. See that you move right and in mass formation; eliminate Chas. W. Anderson—he is merely an incident. This blow is aimed at Negroes who may in future aspire to hold any office in this land that a white man is capable of holding, from President down to dog catcher. It seems that Messas, Koongi, Calder, and al do not feel this way about it. If Negro voters have any guts they will resent this treachery in the coming municipal election and teach these modern amateur Warwicks that there are blows to give as well as blows to receive. We shall see what we shall see. A story is told of an old Negro preacher somewhere down South who waxed an eloquent one Gabbinb morning during the delivery of the first sermon in which he undertook with much elaboratness of detail: to give an elo count of the creation of man. He launched out with the blood statement that "When God made Adam he good him up against the forced to dry, and—here he was interrupted by a brother in the congregation who put this question: "If Adam was the first man, as you don't jeal, who made dat fence? Quite naturally the person was stumped at such a leading question and bade his questioner be seated, saying, "To question, sah, an am inflection on de powah of Gawd, who am able to do all things. Hence be made Adam, don't you suppose he made de force, too? such questions as you, sah, will 'stray all de theology in de world.' Of course this was begging the question, but the member was equalled by the reply. There is still another wonderful circumstance recorded in Holy writ, about which some of our Negro theologians are very dogmatic. It is the account of the building of the Ark, as given in the Book of Genesis, fifth chapter: "By the command of God" (so the commentators and revisionists say) Noah (it is said) built an ark 500 cubits in length, 50 cubits in width and 80 cubits in depth. Now these dimensions are practically the same as that of a large transatlantic steamer. The latest Japanese dreadnought could carry the Ark as a life boat and have plenty of room to spare. Well, now, into this ark, we are told by the infallible translators and revisionists, Nahook took the Ark, wherein is the breath of life," together with the food and sufficient food to sustain the great assemblage for a period of thirteen months. Well, now, a cubit is about twenty inches, from the elbow to the tip of the finger. Three hundred by fifty by thirty cubits represents a vessel approximately 500 feet long, eighty feet wide and fifty feet deep. Now let us see what Galein, in "Half Wear with the Bible," says at page 171: "How could any vessel, however large, have held pairs and sevents of all the creatures on earth, with food for a year, and how could the whole family of Noah have attended to them?" There are at least 9,000 mammals, more than 7,000 kinds of birds, from the gigantic ostrich to the humming bird, and over 1,500 kinds of amphibious animals and reptiles, not to speak of 120,000 kinds of insects and an unknown multitude and varieties of infusoria, nor does this include the many thousand kinds of mollusca radiates and fish. Yet there are clergy and preachers in the church, preach it as the gospel truth as earnestly as that of the whale swallowing Jonah. The record of the Dolugo is a figurative teaching, one of the spiritual lessons with which the Scriptures abound. Instead of being a deluge of water, it was a deluge of califaites, wars, tribulations and difficulties, such as Europe is now passing through, which have always fallen upon those who have strained from God and followed their own unrightful devices. "The Chinese never heard of the Deluge, nor of Noah and his ark. Say Abraham George Khirella in his book, 'The Glory of God': "The earliest theology of the Egyptians records a deluge of calamities and tribulations which overwhelmed the human race. The ancient Egyptians were monotheists, believing in the supreme God, but surrounding him by many lesser doctrines and divinities characteristic of the later Grecian mythology. According to their theological traditions, when the people of the earth had been from the earth, they were mitted priests, God, the Gigmontipot, summoned before him the god, Nada (rain) and Tum (mischief), commanding them to spread calamities, wara, mischiefs and miseries throughout the earth. Before this God had sent four other gods, the Rackadeen (runners) to the four corners of the earth to save all men who still worshipped him rightly by gathering them into an ark of safety in which they could escape the coming catastrophe. This tradition shows clearly that the Deluge was an outpouring of calamities, etc." The pulpit, not only the white, but the colored and Negro pulpil, must needs do some "digging" if it would keep abreast of the pew, which is also "digging" for the real faces of what the Scriptures actually teach, and not what the eloquent thinks they teach. We must keep the preachers "theological Bummers" and I reckon brother Henry applied the correct term. A great many of our Negro preachers won't read useful books nor strain their intellects by investigating deep theological problems. These are the "lay hawkers and bummers," who preach hall fire, etc., wear great coot coat, colloid-collars, yellow with sweat and age, and are dogmatists who know a whole set of things that never were or can be true. The star of this group of theologians is waning. "Farewell, Bres Watkins, et al!" goyby. LOOK! LOOK!! Do you want to save money?

PITTENBULLIGH, Pt. Ed. L.—The Continental Press Presswoman, an announcing the possibilities for big business among Negroes in the North, Attorney Robert L. Vann, editor of the "Competitor," says: "Big Business is coming North." Continuing, Mr. Vann says: "For the past two decades it has been no unusual thing to see Negroes operating big business enterprises in the South, Oppression, race hatred, and prejudice practically drove the Negro into business for himself. While the cause was very un-American, the effect was a decided benefit to the colored man. "The success of big business among Negroes in the South soon had its effect in the North, and now Negroes are beginning to launch into big business in almost every city where the numerical strength of the colored population warrants the effort. New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Philadelphia boast of Negro banks and trust companies. This was not until the banking business among Negroes in the South proved successful. The Southern Negro led the way. His Northern brother has followed. We are now out to launch a commission merchant business in one of our larger Northern cities. This is said to be one of the very paying customers known to the Negro community with South Africa to supply the produce there is no reason why such a business should not take root immediately and prove highly successful. And there are other activities which find ready support and today we have steam laundries, bakery stores; in fact, almost all of the business activities we are able to finance. "All this means progress. The kind of progress the Jew has made under the greatest handicap. It means the branching out of a people just learning its first lesson in self-confidence. It means the beginning of money making and money saving. Our boys and girls will be able to prove theiridence and assurance. Employment will be made possible and educational incentive increased." UNUSUAL PREPARATION FOR BUSINESS LEAGUE Atlanta, Ga. — Unusual preparations are being made by members of the Atlanta Local Negro Business League for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League, which meets here August 17, 18 and 19. A. L. Holsey of Tuskegee Institute, institution, transportation agent for the National Negro Business League, was here last week conferring with railroad officials and with the officers of the League, and following this conference announcement was made that, in addition to the rural social features held in connection with the annual meeting of the Business League the entertainment program arranged by the Atlanta Business League included sightseeing tours, visiting important businesses or interest in Atlanta and inspecting the large number of successful Negro business enterprises located here. Also, an old fashioned Georgia horseman traveled through Peachs Road. The annual cappella will be held Friday evening, August 19, in the City Auditorium. On Saturday, following the close of the meeting, a special side trip to Tuskegee Institute has been arranged at special reduced rates, and the delegates will have an opportunity to visit the famous institution founded by the late Boehler T.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF SECRETARY- GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT FROM SEPTEMBER 1,1920 TO AUGUST 1,1921 MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1921, 1200 A.M. May is please Your Excellency, Rt. Hon. Members of the High Executive Council and Delegates to the Second International Negro Convention: As Assistant Secretary-General, elected by you at the Convention of 1920, I have the honor to submit this report on behalf of the Secretary- General's Department for your information and consideration. The year under review has been a checked one, and we have had some experiences that cannot be described as altogether pleasant, but I think we have a lot to share for the benefit of divisions and membership we have had, and also for the drop interest and enthusiasm that have been aroused and maintained among our members. Membership Prior to the last convention there was but a scattered membership here and there, now we have an organised membership extending over four of the continents of the world: Europe, Africa, America (North and South), and Australia, to say nothing of the islands of the sea and although there is a great financial depression among all races everywhere, there has been, in recent years, a marked improvement and interest shown on the part of the officers of local divisions in sending in their monthly reports within the past six months. The Secretary-General's office has always endeavored to point out to the delinquent ones the absolute necessity of reporting regularly and keeping their members on a good financial standing, so as to avoid any inconvenience and embarrassment in so of death. It is a plea we are to note the progress in this direction. We have been out of the ranks through loss of membership. We have to contribute their failure to the great economic crisis through which they have been passing during the past year Difficulty Up to the month of March, the various divisions were under direct control and were satisfactorily operating, but not many weeks after the President-General wont abroad the various divisions in Cuba, Jamaica, Panama, Costa Rica, British Honduras and Guatemala, a spurious atmosphere was engendered, some claiming it was not his intention to return and others that he could not return. This, coupled with a demoralization of some of the divisions, caused through one or two field workers and, in some instances, even officials, split several divisions in various factions. These two factors were responsible for the swelling of the department's correspondence to unusually large proportions and demanded all the tact, energy and skill that could be possibly mustered to readjust same through correspondence. Divisions The organization has grown by leaps and bounds, hundreds of divisions having been organized during the year. Number of chartered divisions up to Number of chartered divisions up to August 1. 1921 ..... 418 Showing an increase of.....823 Besides the number of chartered branches, there are in existence 422 branches not yet chartered. There were no chapters in existence up to August 1. 1920: up to August 1. 1921, there were 19 chapters. Deatha We regret that we have to report the loss of some of our very active and very influential members by death during the year under review. The Secretary General's office has been notified officially of the death of 45 members. Of these 12 have been financial and their claims have been paid. A court has begun investigation. The others have not been heard because of failure to comply with the law as laid down in the constitution. Special mention must be made of some of our ardent workers who have passed to the great beyond: Hom. F. Smith of Philadelphia. Pa. Mr. Wm. Passley, secretary Hart- ford, Conn. Division Mr. James Spear, secretary Camden N. J. Division. Mt. I. C. Shiver, organizer and ex- president of Newport News, Va. Division. Rev. G. W. Parker, president Louisiana Division, Liberian, W. A. In front, instance the parent body tendered to the parents and friends of late members its sincere condolence in their享able legacy. Finance I may here make a few comparative statements relative death tax and dues for 1920 and 1931. The highest receipts over the period of a single month were as follows: June, 1921, death tax..... $2,347.70 June, 1921, dues..... 1,068.35 June, 1920, death tax..... 1,482.04 June, 1920, dues..... 881.56 Total receipts for death tax for the year 1921..... $619,582.80 Total receipts for death tax for the year 1920..... 8,883.80 showing an increase of...$15,931.88. This office has received during the month, September, 2005, to July, 2003, included the amount of $99,449.60 for general funds, death tax, etc., and $164,459.40 for bonds. These amounts had from time, to time been turned into money, and the office India received to pay for it. There is no an unfunded amount to be collected, if refract to state that the greater portion of this is for assignment, and if yes, the honorable discharges are requested to move the prompt remittance of same immediately on return to your various divisions. Staff When the Executive Council took up office on November 1, 1920, the parent body had then to take care of 120 divisions with a membership less than one-third of its present strength, and there was then a staff of nine, composed of a chief clerk, a bookkeeper, 3 stenographers, 2 filing clerks and 3 shipping clerks. We have endeavored to be as economical as possible in the employment for the running of the office and at present we have a staff of the same nine, including 1 chief clerk, 1 bookkeeper, 3 stenographers, 2 filing clerks and 1 shipping clerk, to take care of 418 divisions instead of 120, and 18 chapters in addition; also 432 uncharted divisions in the majority of cases at a smaller salary. I have the control of the department, the Secretary General being frequently in the field, and must commend the members of my staff for their help and willingness in assisting me to achieve the almost impossible task that I had to handle. Speaking of myself as a unit in the Secretary General's office, although our work for the past 13 months has been a success, I am compelled to say I would have done yet more effective work were it not for the fact that I was so often embarrassed and my hands actually under the guise of superior authority. I have to make special mention of the Rt. Hon. Counsel General, the Rt. Hon. Commissioner General and the Rt. Hon. Auditor General, who being regularly in their office during the absence of His Excellency the President General on his tour abroad, and other members of the council spared no pains to give me all the aid they could. Respectfully submitted. W. B. YEARWOOD. Asst. Secretary General. J. W. CLIFFORD TOURING THE COUNTRY IN THE INTEREST OF MONUMENTAL PICTURES CORPORATION Former Lieutenant J. Williams Clifford, the progressive young race leader and business man, who will be remembered by our readers as the special representative of the colored soldiers and sailors in the Bureau of War Risk insurance, Washington, D. C., a position from which he resigned because he could not obtain justice for wounded soldiers. The Bureau of War Risk ment hospitales located in the South will visit our city in the near future in the interest of the Mounted Pictures Corporation, of which he is the president and general manager. Mr. Clifford is a representative type of the young Negro of today who is forging to the front in the commercial life of this country. His genuine and sympathetic service to his soldier comrades while he was their representative in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance is too well known to be repeated here. Upon his resignation he organized the Monumental Pictures Corporation, which has a capitalization of a half million dollars. We learn that most all of the stock companies not only convinced of the great money-making opportunities in the motion picture game for the Negro, but he believes that through the medium of motion pictures immeasurable influences for racial appreciation, solidarity and uplift will be found. Its great educational value is now realised by the leading educators of the world. The motion picture is finding a place in the schoolhouse and the church and can be considered one of the greatest teachers in the world today because it reaches the masses. The Monumental Pictures Corporation has already produced six pictures and is now preparing to release a weekly picture of Negro activities throughout the world. This is a noble project and the colored people of the Negro community must support their entire support, assisting him in getting the managers of all the theatres in this city, catering for colored people, to run this great reel in their houses. We should demand that this reel be shown because of its inspirational and educational value. The executives of the Monumental Pictures Corporation are to be congratulated upon this commendable undertaking. A GREETING FROM MONROVIA, CAL. July 4, 1921 Mr. Ebenerer Campbell, organizer of the Watta, Duarte Marovia divisions of the U. M. L. A. Dear Sir: — We are exceedingly happy to entrust our interest in your hands while in New York. We feel sure no one could better represent us at any time, and particularly at the great convention. You know the aim of the Monovia division. We stand for justice to every member—the very least—if we stand for anything at all. It is not our purpose to join, even the parent body, in actions which are again the dictates of our conscience and the commands of our God. Our aim with the great association is for the purpose of assisting it to accomplish the high aims born in the mind of God. Marcus Paul and expressed in the constitution. If extension and oppression be visible even in their philosophy, there are thousands of Neptune today in the U. M. L. A. to detain them, power and surviving path of righteousness, that the leaders must treat, and bid others to follow. Full and detailed reports of the income and expenditure of the general body should be published as per constitution for the world to see, to maintain the regulation and air the morale of the organization as a whole. This can be easily done, and ought to be our strongest vindication of nobility and honesty. There are other well-conducted institutions handling more than I think we take care of, that report periodically as stipulated in their laws, every item of importance. We are attracting world-wide attention and must bear the sunlight of public scrutiny and just criticism. It is our highest ambition to assist in establishing in Liberia, as the logical headquarters of the association, a really independent government; one free from debt to the white man, and founded on Godly platforms. It should, according to our mind, to first relieve the present government of its financial encumbrances. Such a call upon us, it is believed, would have such a response that in six months the $50,000 loan now sought could be fully met.

The cable states that in the Transvaal and throughout the Union strong feelings are being expressed in connection with the use of black troops from Africa in the Army of Occupation, and the South African Women's Party, the National African Women's Party and the South African Women's Federation request the Prime Minister to use his influence in order to move the Allied Power to remedy this serious fault. we expected from John Crotty an answer to the question, a black man become a color instead of this be is trying black Lion.

At page 32 "Blinkita," in the mouth of a Crocodile, does duty similar to that done by "Higgs" in the lips of a person proud of his exemption from the "curse of Cancan"; that is to say, "Blinkita is a plaque, especially when restraints form no part of them." Pretty good coming from a Negro grammarian! The same author in his book "Frocadacy," which as many know is an answer to James Anthony Frouda, the mighty writer's book of travels in the West Indies. At page 66 Mr. Thomas says: "In no instance do we find that he condescended to visit the shores of any Negro, whether he was a slave or a bushman, or that race." and to further support my contention Rev. P. H. Doughlin, then rector of St. Clement's Trinidad, "a brilliant star among the ems of Ham." he says: "Here in the West Indies and on the West Coast of Africa are to be found Surgeons of the Negro race, Solicitata, Barristera, Hayora, Councililla, Principals and Founders of High Schools and Colleges, Editors and Proprietors of Newspapers, Arubideonas, Bishop's College, and only teach these immediately around them, but also teach the world. And it is not more commonplace men that the Negro race has produced." Mr Gordon feels that we are incapable of answering his article. We will leave that phase of the matter to the intelligence of the masses who are readers of the Negro World to judge. We feel proud to be able to dignify in the eyes of Mr Gordon the word negro, the word negro, the word negro, this will follow us and centuries will lay strong on this planet, and the features of the Negro will be found striving for the attainment of the heights, just as we observe in the works of Negro people still extant in the Cradle of Civilization which through the Nile washes her atoms of truth in the waters that bathe the Mediterranean coasts for the white man's benefit. We only hope and trust he will be more compassionate, we will be more Negro on the shore, we have made his progenitors suffer untold agonies. LEO AFRICANUM THE BLACK CROSS NURSE CHAPTER 1 Nursing Its General Principles, and Nurses (First of a Series of Articles) Health has been comprehensively defined as the "perfect circulation of pure blood in a sound organism or body." Any deviation from either of these three states of the human body constitutes disease. There is recognized in nature a certain tendency to repair the damage wrought by disease on the human organism, a marked disposition to return to the normal state of health, whenever there has been any departure from it. To assist this return to the state of health is the object of treatment. To keep the patient in the state most essential and favorable for the functioning of this natural tendency toward recovery from disease is the special vocation of the nurse. There are few women who will not be called upon to serve in the capacity of a nurse it some time in their lives; fewer individuals still who will not at some time have occasion to be grateful for the ministrations of a trained, intelligent and efficient nurse, or annoyed by the blunders of an experienced, awkward or incompetent one. Nursing, therefore, like the practice of medicine, is an art, the importance of which can never be too highly rated. It provides the protection of specific orders, the administration of foods and medicine, the personal care of the patient, attention to the condition of the sick room, its warmth, cleanliness and ventilation, the careful observation and reporting of symptoms and the prevention of contagion. Nursing is large $y$ the province, though not the exclusive one, of women, and it has been sometimes said that all women make good nurses simply because nature has endowed them with the qualities of womanhood and the virtues of motherhood. This, however, is far from the truth. To aptly fill such a capacity requires certain physical and mental attributes which all women—even all good women—possess. A well adorned and competent position is a natural proclivity or aptitude for nursing is a valuable basis for instruction, but will not take the place of it, nor will good intentions ever compensate for a lack of executive ability. Unimpaired health and power of endurance, intelligence and mother wilt or common sense are primary essentials for a nurse. She should be a person of a patient, even cheerful temperament, not easily irritated or confused—for to lose temper or presence of mind in the sick room is fatal to usefulness. She must have a keen and alert mind, habits of correct observation and accurate statement, and some manual dexterity. She must necessarily be quiet, neat and systematic, and capable of eternal vigilance. There is in this work room for the exercise of the highest talents, skill and forethought as well as virtues of the rarest order; and it cannot not to be true, as is often the case, that many of our nurses in courses of training in hospitals and schools are those utterly unit for the work; either surviving relics of by-gone days when a nurse ranked on a par with or below the house-maid, or female sentimentalists with their heads full of romantic notions and visions of themselves ditting about like angels of mercy, bathing the brow's of suffering heroes and distributing among them flowers and sweet smiles. The latter class is sure to be disappointed, generally disgusted, for they find the reality practical, present, and often even reviving. But it is a field of usefulness such as is nowhere else afforded, and our women of the Black Woman Auxiliary with the requisite qualifications, who wish to be of genuine service to their fellow creatures of the Black race and to treat an employment of absorbing interest, cannot do better than trust themselves.

Authority, I care say, of the Black Cross Nurse destine courses in practical nursing, hygiene and enlistment, distinction and first aid. It is to such as have entered upon this course with an earnest aim to well qualify themselves, and to alert the professional standard of the Black Cross Nurse, that the following instructions are addressed: When you have once entered upon duty to care for a sick or injured person, his or his welfare is of course understood to become your first consideration. With this object in mind, your duties may be classified as threefold. First—Those which you owe to yourself. Second—Those which you owe to the physician under whose direction you work. Third—Susan as relate immediately to the patient. Something is perhaps owing also to the school hospital or unit with which you are or have been connected and the U. N. I. A. You are at least afforded an additional motive for guarded conduct by the remembrance that you are the association's representative to the public, the exponent of the law, that according as you conduct yourself, or discredit is reflected on the associations through the Black Cross, and, after all, upon the entire profession of nursing.

LIBERTY HALL IN CLEVELAND, PAYS HER LIABILITY TO HUMANITY'S CALL By feeding 8,000 hungry persons Liberty Hall of Cleveland has paid her liability to humanity, the good work being under the auspices of the Women's Exhibit. The women, who are a large factor in Cleveland Division No. 88, U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. have pledged themselves to lift up the fallen. The work they are engaged in requires the serving of a free dinner daily, which was done regularly between July 8 and August 5, feeding more than 8,000 persons. Some may ask why the dinner is served daily. Realizing that nations are readjusting affair and that institutions are doing likewise, the women deemed it wise, during the colossal international crisis in which the Negroes are the most fortunate victims, to do something not of an ephemeral character or for the purpose of gaining publicity, but merely to render a service they felt they owed the hungry and suffering sons and daughters of Ethiopia. The food was prepared at the local grocery store in Cleveland division, 877 Central avenue.

Again, the odd manner in which he tweets money show him to be one of those men who have more money than brain, or he is getting money too easy. How can he preach the word of God slightly when most of his time is occupied in silly criticism of the noble race that evidently made him what he imagines to be. He is fond of controversy, why don't he resign his post in the church and he will find people of quality willing to take gloves against him, but I must conclude by saying that had he known better, he would do and say better.

Marvin Davis after spending such a long time exposing himself to so much danger for the reinforcement of our down-trodden life. We hope and pray that Divine assistance will always accompany him and carry him safely along his tireless journey to our hong-lest home Africa. I am inclaining a cutting from one of the principal newspapers of Cuba, namely, the Haralso De Cuba, which I am sure, when translated and reprinted in The Negro World, will give to your readers an idea of existing conditions in Cuba. Now, this article was printed on the front page of the Heraldo. The "coriariaturist," in my opinion, seems to want to present to the reading public what will happen in Cuba in the near future if the present conditions continue, but the average Cuban readers do not look on it in that way; they take it as a case that really happens, because of which they are treating us as if our countryman had actually committed a diabolical act. Wherever West Africa is the street of Sagara La Grande, where I am residing, walks he is constantly bound by such姓 names as cannibal, antibrophagus, etc., and if you attempt to deny the story a copy of the paper is held up to your view to confirm the insulta. In my opinion, Mr. Editor, these printing presses are wilfully doing these things to prejudice the minds of the Cuban Negroes against we, the West Indian Negroes, and to keep us at variance all the time. Most naturally, if the Cuban Negroes know that the Jamaicans are eating white people they are going to keep as far as possible from us, as when we cannot get white folks to eat we may try some of them also. Now, Mr. Editor, "caricature" means a pictorial representation or written description exaggerated as to excite ridicule." The editor of this paper seems to have maliciously conceived this to our own advantage, but we have lots of alien residents in Cuba, but he has picked out and named the Jamaican because they are made up mostly of Negroes. I have written a letter of protest to him, in which I ask him to make some explanation in a future issue to undo this mischief, which I expect to submit to you in the near future.

A TILT BETWEEN THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF PITTSBURGH AND THE KON. ARDEN BRYAN To the Editor of The Negro World! It is indeed painful to write this Letter to you, which is indeed a protest against the action taken against the entire Negro Race in the United States, in that dangerous propaganda is permitted to be circulated on circulate bearing the plaque of the person who was murdered by the people of the State of Pennsylvania to stand trial at the bar of justice for the alleged crime of murder. We all agree that all criminals ought to be brought to justice, be they black or white! But in protest against the unexpedient and dangerous literature, especially this part, "Wanted for murder of white American woman and for rape of white American" such propaganda is dangerous to the entire Negro World; intends to judge us unwilling, not as individuals, and what we are worth intellectually, but it attempts to harm the whale race by judging them as a class, and not as individuals, and, further, it is so dangerous that it tends to promote race prejudice and, incite race war among the living masseus. This propaganda, in dangerous not only to American Negroes, but also to members of our race who happen to come here from the West Indies South America and Africa, who might be here on business for their respective governments. The people of the United States should live up to the utterances of their elected leader, Warren G. Harding, and observe the rules laid down, that this nation, more so than any other nation in the world, was set up to respect and vindicate the rights of man; and further, "We did not name any differences between one, one and one."

CUBA SENDS MESSAGE OF SYMPATHY TO TULSA NICHOES Editor, the Negro World: Dear Sir, Please allow me space in your valuable paper conveying to the unfortunate Negroes of Tulsa, Ohio, my race and my people, that we, the members and friends of the Zebato Division of the U. N. L. A. bag to submit our heartfelt sympathy to them, one and all, for the calamity which befell them in that part of the world. We grieve to learn our hearts are filled with sympathy towards them; our eyes with tears. But the same God that delivered Daniel will deliver you, and every one also who fell an angel lions. He will also be seen walking in the fierce furnace when we, who serve no other God but the true and only God, each of God whom we the new Negro, serve. May it please thee, O King, put the writing on the wall, that the world may read and understand that we the Negro, are fighting for only what was robbed from us by violence at the hand of the white man and nothing else. It is diagnoacful to know that after Christianity has spread far and near, and the man say they are Christian men, we see it was only a propaganda that was set to enslave the Negroes. But, thanks be to God for the Hon. Marcus Garvey, our leader and prophet. He has revealed the hidden things d have taken from our eyes the vall that kept us in darkness so long a time; may Almighty God so strengthen him to continue and prolong his life, to teach us more of ourselves.

In every world-famed paper Some comment you will find "On four hundred million Negroes With Africa in their mind." When our Eulia ancestors were con- mared They were hopelessly outclassed By the British with modern artillery, "And were mowed down like grass." "Yet it was hard to beat the Zulua, Although they had no guns; Run, with arrows and assigna, They often made the British run." Even white historians tell us "That at a battle fought near Debajo The British were completely cut to pieces." By the Zulu under Getewayo." Then in good Abyssinia, Ah!

And recently in France and Flanders, Mercopotamia (and Africa, too) "The black troops of the Allies Won the war—and this is true. But they had never taken us very sensuously, Being gratified to know That as long as we were divided and inherent We could never strike an effective biter. But now that we are being united, Becoming intelligent, and scientific, the, "We have the whole world guessing." And surrender what we are going to They can imagine this mass of Negroes Bearing them at their own war game, Bidding hat with bows and arrows, "But submarines and aircraft." They can imagine this mass of Negroes Roasting them at their own war game. Shooting them with bows and arrows. "This enterprise and aeroplanes." They can imagine this mass of Negroes.

After reception, the honorable gentleman proceeded with the chairman of the trustee board Mr. Paffett, to the alcalde. After a conference of about two hours they came to us with inspiring words that awakened every true-hearted Negro of Maraca. The honorable gentleman got all necessary permissions from the alcalde and he (the alcalde) promised to give us every protection during the absence of the High Commissioners. In Santiago the High Commissioner and Mise Waiters were honorable guests of His Excellency the Governor of the Ortega. The High Commissioner received a credential from His Excellency, sealed with the Golden Seal of the Republic of Cuba, for free and unmolested doings in the Province of Ortega. I may say that the High Commissioner is the right man selected for Cuba. He can meet all the necessities of the people. Hope all the other commissioners that will be elected for other countries may work as so as to gain the love and appreciation of the people, as this gentleman Thanking you in advance. Mr Ed itor.

For about one hour and a half Dr Jones entertained the audience with his forceful argument and masterly eloquence that delighted the audience emensely. The charter of the Henry County Division, U N L A. A and A C L. No 264, was unveiled by the president F D. Greer who made befitting remarks for this occasion. Certificates of membership were issued to the members present.

Young men who have finished some of the leading colleges of this and other countries tired of long being deceived by "leaders" who lead them only up dark alliances have embraced the doctrine of the U. M. L. A. as the doctrines that appealed to their heroic souls. The great personality of Marcus Garvey, which has never yet acknowledged a superior, has its natural effect upon young men, and the faith of the man inspires faith. And this faith, coupled with the work which this second international convention shall outline, will result in the freedom of Africa, in the salvation of a race. Great things have been accomplished during the past year for African redemption. In fact, the accomplishments have surpassed the expectation of the most optimistic regarding the work; but the delegates to the second international convention of the U. N. A realism that even greater things must be done this year if we would have the aims of the association fully realized. They are therefore, entering the work with a real and determination indicative of the greatest success. All extraneous matters are laid aside and everybody is getting right down to the thing that will make African redemption a certainty. truly princes shall come out of Egypt Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to God. By the Honorable High Commissioner for Cuba, Mr. Edwardo V. Morales —Visit Paid Santiago Di- MARCENA, July 20, 1921 — Recently the people of the Marane Division of the U N. I. A. were experiencing hard times, owing to the fact of people of our race were trying to undermine us. But thanks we to God, we have overcome them all. It happened thus. News was taken to the officials that the people are forming plots to be white people's hatera and from other occurrences we were properly handicapped. Our Liberty Hall was nearly taken away. This hall is a free grant from the administrators. This was the case for some time until the sergeant of the government guards informed us that we are to get a permit from the Alcaide (magistrate) before we could be permitted to any meeting or meetings. A delegation was sent to the Hon. Dorch, alcalde of this district, for a permit. The honorable gentleman sent back the delegation for a declaration to inform him of the objects of the association. Previous to this, it was believed that this movement is a political one which is against this government. A declaration was drawn and sent to the honorable gentleman. In some form or the other, he was in accordance with the objects. He gave a permit, but with great restrictions which could not meet the approving body. He finally considered to locate the High Commissioner for Cuba, Mr. Morales. On Monday, July 18, I went to Santiago where the honorable gentleman was found. Putting forth my mission to him we settled to Liberty Hall. Experience of Santiago Division Santiago has a beautiful Liberty Hall, well drapped around with colors of Red, Black and Green. In the hall is to be found the picture of His Excell- erence Marcos Garvey and a painting of a Negro standing with the new flag of the U. N. I. A. in his hand to be waved over the land of Africa. Many other things of pictureque beauty are therein. This night was devoted to the Cubans. Nevertheless from the high spirit seemed existed among the people of Santiago the hall was well crowded with people of all ages and 100 Cubans were present. They gave warm and inspiring addresses. One of the features of the night was Senor Americo Putuanco, a lawyer. This gentleman kept the audience spell- bound for over an hour with one of the greatest of modern artworks. Mr. Morales, High Commissioner, spoke also for nearly an hour in Spanish. This was highly appreciated by all. As can be understood, Santiago was not on a very good working basis, but the High Commissioner, after four days' hard working, straightened all the crookiness and left them on a perfect working principle. The people are very enthusiastic over conditions now. The next person of renown was Miss Claire Walter, Lady President of the Divisional. This lady, as I can see, is one of the beautiful flowers of our race. I may venture to say that she is second to no other lady of modern days with regards to her loyalty and ambitious ideals. In the new and the great movement of Mergroes, Her actions reminded me, of Joan of Aro leading France's army against the English. I would that every one of us, with faith, would lady, especially those who are presidents of division, of division, of division, she placed the youth on her shoulder and trust her in hearing it. As before she is an ideal light to the people of Santiago. On Tuesday, July 18, the High Com- munity will hold a public hearing. Marane Gen.

NEW ABERDEEN DIVISION U.N.L.A.& A.C.L On Sunday, June 6, with President A. Small officiating, and the other officers in their respective places, the small but promising division of New Aberdeen was visited by Hon. Vernal J. Willama, representative of the parent body, who took part in the procedure of the regular 8 o'clock mass meeting and gave an astounding address on "Garveyism," an international factor among Negroes. He also outlined the appreciation of the parent body in the great display, made by the members of this division. Quite a large attendance listened with an attentive ear to the speaker as he expounded the truths in a most enlightened and masterly manner. At the close of the meeting arrangements were made for special meetings from June 12 to 19, inclusive. The meetings throughout the entire week of June 12 to 19 were of exceptional value to the sons and daughters of proud Ethiopia in New Aberdeen. This meeting the starter at the root and blazed a path for the first international Negro convention of August, 1920 and its onew, 1 march of today. Nothing seemed to escape the mind of the visitor as he delivered his brilliant addresses to his thirty listeners and pictured to them the glowing future beyond the dark horizon and the great possibility of achieving same by building up a great and powerful government in Liberia, W. A., where we can all worship under our own vine and the great happiness. Mr Williams also held a "Church Service when all the children attended and were instructed on the principal parts of the catechism and the correct tuition of the God of Jehro and Ham One of the principal texts delivered was "The Ideal Man, taken from lazam, thirty-second second, and second verse 1." e. "And a man shall be as an island place from the wind and water, in a dry place, as rivers of water in a dry place, in a great rock in a weary land."

The members of the New Aberdeen division for the first time chartered a special car from the Cape Breton Electric Co. for the occasion.

Tampa Division No. 90—it is my good fortune to be in your midday today, and I must confess that my whole soul has been captured by the beautiful scenery of your city, also its congenial residents. I want to talk to you today, but before I begin I must request you to give a vote of thanks to these three gentlemen who have spoken so nobly in defense of them to you and beg you to lift them up in your city and see that they live up to their word. Gentlemen, I thank you one and all for the noble stand you have taken in defense of the Negro. --- "Now, my friend, it becomes my duty to let you know what your other brothers are doing, especially those on the East Coast of Florida. The Negroes there have pledged themselves to do all within their power to conserve the rights of their noble old race and to respect the rights of all men. They have decided to cease bowing and arring to the other fellow and are prepared to bow down to no human being, but God Almighty himself. He is now no longer afraid to own his race, but is now standing up proudly in all places, saying I am a Negro. No longer do we hear him saying, "I am a Negro, I am a Negro, West Indies," but I realised that a Negro is a NEGRO anywhere. Now, I want you to understand that the U. N. L. A. is not here to fight white folks, as has been stated on your very streets by would-be white Negroes. We really haven't the time to study white folks. We need to work twenty-four hours to every eight of his in order to catch him up. I heard a rumor about last week in your city that the U. N. I. A. was causing Negroes to leave Florida, but I want to refute these statements, my friend. The U. N. I. A. is not teaching social equality nor intermarriage (the cause which the authorities of Miami claim led to Hirg's arrest and whipping in the woods at Cocoon Grove). The U. N. I. A. is on the strength of false, malicious statements issued by the enemies of the association in Key West. My friend, we have got to quit to much of this blin-in-and go into the world's broad field of battle and achieve something. The time has come for us to come together, and stick together; cement our thoughts and our actions with the cement of brotherly love. Let us create a spirit of race pride, and think black sometimes. Think that you are the equal of anybody on the face of the earth, because God created you in His own image and expects you to live as a man and die as a man. The time has come for us to cause fighting ourselves and organise to protect our wives and children. Are you men able now to protect your wives and children? Not in your present condition. You are divided. The Wolf can come in and take his prey and go off with none to prevent. Everybody glad; bigty nigger deserves it. But your day is next if you don't come together and do something. My friends, you must awake from your lethargic sleep and take on a spirit of race pride—nationalism also. You have been supporting the other fellow all of your lives in politics, but the time has come to support yourself. I want to be a statesman or judge or President some day, but Cap has told me that this is a white man's country. So I have decided to go home to my own country, Africa, and land of Liberty. Like it, I am at this way: If I can be a bootleah and can't be President in the U. S. A, let me go to Africa, where I can be a bootleah and run for President, if my ability permits. Some logic, oh? Many of you are now out of employment here and sitting down with arms folded waiting on the Lord. But I want to tell you that the Lord is waiting on you. We need lawyers, doctors, mechanics, and men of every profession to go to Africa to build up a great and mighty government, and why stand here idle? We want you to support the Jabarian Construction Loan, the Black Star Line and thus hasten this movement on to success. Better fall in line now and enroll your names. See the secretary. I will tell you a story and then stop. There were two Irishmen, Sam and Pat. Sam didn't believe in heaven nor hell. When Sam died Pat was summoned to his bedside and after seeing Sam all dressed up lying in his coffin, Pat began to laugh. The folks in the house wanted to know what Pat saw on Sam to laugh at and Pat told them that when Sam lived he didn't believe in heaven nor hell. Now here he is all dressed up and nowhere to go. I want to see what will all join us now that when shall we establish the colors of the Red, Black and Green on the continent of Africa and you who have failed to follow us will then be all dressed up and nowhere to go.

The dance started at 10 a.m. and our little Liberty Hall was guarded with the members and friends who gathered for the occasion. We were pressed to note a few members of the New York division also in attendance. This dance was for the purpose of routing funds to enable us to get into our Liberty Hall. An abundance of members attended at 4 a.m. the add was adjourned to all present. LIAELI BRANCH, NO. 126 By G. Emerson Garter, A. B. D. B. Th. About a year ago, Rev. J. A. Davia a preacher in the A. M. E. Church, and one of the oldest citizens of Miami, saw it to visit the first great convention held by the parent body, at his own expense. So thoroughly was he imbued with the ideals of this organization and the dreams of its erudite founder, until he lost no time in founding a division in Miami. In Bethel A. M. E. Church last September a mass meeting was held to hear the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. With 60 members we began and after a charter was secured we grew to 400 members. How well we succeeded will be told as briefly as possible in the following words. Through sane, conservative leadership and seal, tempered with wisdom, this organization lived in the city of Miami and proved of real value to our group, in cementing the factional differences of forces within and without camp. It was the only medium through which the people from the Bahamas and native Americans could support a common cause, and realize that we were children of one common parent stock, who were transplanted at different points in America. It was this organization that sought to perpetuate the ideals of Marous Garvey and awaken the eratwhile dormant energies of the masses to lines of improvement. It was this organization that eluded the people to look within for formal development, because all lasting good is from within, outward; and no race can be firmly established until it addresses itself to the task of self-support and finding its internal resources. We who have lived in the South do not hesitate to fearlessly espouse nor reluctantly engage in putting forth any program that snares of right and justice. And those who live elsewhere, and believe that a colored man is less than a man in the South, are mistaken. Because we know there are always to be found loyal men and women among the white group who will give their last full measure of love to see our group and help them to succeed with us know of the traditions which are inimical to the South, and would anely advise any of our group, who wish to labor in the South to be loyal to them. If you cannot be loyal, then seek other climes, where you may live without antagonizing your neighbor. The program of the U N L A. A. and A. C. L. is a big one, and only men and women who have breadth of characters can put the program over in the South. We must be willing to have an every day application of the three great maxims of three great teachers: "Know thyself" Socrates; "Control thyself." Aurelia, and "Deny thyself." Jesus Christ. Acting on this principle for peace and harmony within and without the leaders of the organization, supported by a loyal following succeeded well until a traitor within our ranks, a self-imposed preacher-so-called, gave out the information that the U. N. L. A and A. C. L. was sedentious and that he could break it up. He used propaganda, calculated to intimidate large numbers of folks from the Bahamas; but of no effect upon the American Negro, who knew the southern white man and his dependability in a crisis. Therefore, after many hours of patient and careful prosecution, heart-breaking investigations revealed the fact the U. N. L. A and A. C. L. was all right; and that we would have police protection, vouchafea for through the chief of police, who came and heard me counsel my co-laborers and fellow citizens of Africa. What we need in the South to put over a successful program is not zeal without wisdom, but rather zeal with wisdom. Such will give us more men and women willing to live for this grand cause and not a great host who are always talking about dying for the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. Experience within our own division has proven that those who were always talking about dying for the cause were first to run away from Miami even before the opening skirmish had been staged. We need men and women who are loyal to their people yet understand the community in which they labor and will always seek to keep down race antipathy. We are positive that Miami branch will forge ahead, as our leaders are sane, good-thinking persons who know the organization, the people they are called upon to lead as well as themselves. They are willing to give their full measure of sacrifice for right and best and will never place less than the part of whole men and women, even though they live in the South. The truth is real men are real everywhere, and Mian.I is not an exception to this rule. Our cause was shocked but not torn aound. We have a nice balance in our treasury and have bought a moving picture machine with a select number of each week to entertain the members of our community and friends three nights out of each week at our Liberty Hall, which comfortably seats 450 persons. We met each regular meeting night during the four weeks of unrest, and did our best to assure all the members that the Southern white man could be depended upon to do the right thing, because be, too, is serving a God that has promised to mete out to His children, when we are returned to Miam, will be returned to membership and no doubt have the pleasure of seeing thousands within our ranks by next session of this convention. We shall welcome the winter to our delightful time any executive officer or officers of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. who is determined to put over the cause without the thought of selfish interest, and we assure him all the freedom and liberty in Miami that may be in any city in the United States, and liberty in Miami that may be in any city in the United States, because we have had this experience in the past, and it is worth too as many times as it is worth of rumors of the conviction. And among the many things that THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1921 out in bold relief, none are clearer than the noble men and women of both groups, who are thoroughly conversant with the life of all its citizens and who always safeguard the interests of every person who is inclined to be law-abiding and sane in his advice. We will assure you that taught will artise to give you interest while in Killam because we are not misunderstood by the Southern white man, but in some instances our cause has been prejudiced by our own group who are committed to a program of selfish interests. CONTEMPORARY COM A PIONEER OF NEGRO CULTURE of the daily paper of make plain is this of Tulsa had starts ago to teach its Finally, we are confident that Miami will group by leaps and bounda, because the acid test has been applied and the enemy, within as well as without, has been vanquished by a method that never fails—cool, clear, deliberate, prayerful waiting until the time arrives for the presentation of your cause at court, where your cause can be manfully pleaded in terms of right, clear in the enunciation of the doctrines of manhood and justice, and deliberate in defining your position as well as the rights of the person who considered himself imposed upon or offended. In a word, we are saying that Miami is a place where you can use the U. N. A. and C. L. as groups of Miami welcome a branch of this organization within its confines, for they know that those who lead and those who are following are committed to a course that will bring the best good for all concerned—the amelioration of disputes, the adjustment of misunderstandings and the amicable settlement of every apparent disruption. INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS OF EAST LIBERTY DIVISION OF U. N. L. A. & A. C. L. SUNDAY, JULY 24, 1921 A most imposing and dignified ceremony was witnessed in the installation of the officers nominated and elected by the East Liberty Division, now under the supervision of a most efficient and scholarly gentleman, Rev J. J. Cranston, its newly elected president. He has shown a study he knows how to lead and direct, and East Liberty is indeed fortunate in securing the services of such a man. God give us more such man in this grand and glorious movement. He remarks of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," the newly elected officers, led by the president, Rev J. J. Cranston, marched to their seats. A short, inspiring address was then delivered by the president, in which he advised the newly elected officers to seek divine guidance, not only for their own individual success, but for the success of the U. M. L. A. and A. C. L. all over the world and for the redemption of four hundred millions of souls. After delivering to each officer his charge, the president led each office to a seat on the rostrum in a most dignified and ceremonious manner, while "A Charge to Keep I Have" was gung. The following officers were installed by the president, Rev. J. J. Cranston: first vice-president, Mr. Cope; second vice-president, Dr. Almendar; lady president, Mrs. Copeland; first lady vice-president, Mrs. Bailey; second lady vice-president, Mrs. Bailey; Mr. P. Bailey chairman, trustee board, Mr. P. Bailey chairman, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. F. May, Mr. E. Davis, Mr. R. Lovay, mayor of Black Cross Nurses, Mrs. Leach; secretary of Black Cross Nurses, Miss E. Davis; secretary of Ladies' Division, Miss M. Carter; associate secretary of Miss. U. Jackson, secretary of division, Mrs. B. J. Finney Each officer being called upon to speak two minutes replied in a most thoughtful and cheerful manner. An individual response was given each speaker by the president, Rev. J. J. Cranston, in his own unique way and as he only can do. Then as the Ethiopian Ode was sung, giving a rousing cheer at the end, one could look and see in the faces of those present new hope, new soul, new courage to dare and to do greater deeds. U. N. I. A. AND A. C. L. SAN JUAN DIVISION NO. 45, SANTURCE. P. I The demise of one of our oldest members took place on July 10.

Weiler, the "Black Spurgeon" of the South, to a possible solution of the race problem in this country which has apparently not occurred to Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa. It sounds well to talk, as. Garvey does, of Africa for the Africans, in but in sober reality the Africans, as everybody knows, couldn't be persuaded to go back to Africa. The Negroes are in the United States to stay, and the white and black elements must sooner or later learn to live amiably side by side. Charles Walker threw all his talent as a leader among his people in the direction of a working partnership between Negro and white man, and to his influence the Chronicle attributes the remarkable record of Augusta in avoiding racial clashes. It was his theory that social equality for his race was unnecessary; and he set out to teach his congregation how to create their own centres of culture and establish their own social life. As pastor of the Mount Olive Baptist Church in New York City and as pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta, his great gifts, his attractive personality, and his ability to place him immeasurable power into his hands, he used to dispel hatreds and to bring the Negro race to a realization that its distain lay in its own hands. The Tabernacle building and the vocational school which functions within it are only faint evidence of the practical value of his teaching. That he was no less successful with white men than with black is easily discovered from the Chronicle editorial, missed from Augusta, but he has played a role in moulding the city that he will not soon be forgotten—New York World. SOUTHERN PAPER SAYS NE-GROHAS GALL TO WANT A PLACE AT COUNCIL BOARD OF THE WHITE MAN'S CIVILIZATION Tulsa, Okin., has been sowing the wind. Just the other day she reaped the whirlwind. For many years Negro arrogance and impudence has been increasing throughout the State of Oklahoma. In Tulsa it was especially noticeable. Finally Negro arrogance became so bold that a few "prominent" coons of that city armed themselves and went to the county jail, demanding the release of another Negro who was being hold on a charge of rape. An innocent onlooker, standing on the step of the court house, fell to death from the first shot fired by the Negroes. Then, of course, the battle was on. A hundred or more lives were destroyed, and $1,600,000 worth of property was burned. The story is familiar to all readers of the daily paper. The point I would make plain is this: If the white people of Tulua had started a good many years ago to teach its coon population that there would be no monkey business tolerated; if the white people of Tulua had made it plain that white supremacy would suffer no encroachment, in another foot of rope Negro population another foot of rope Negro population would have been no such oogy of bloodletting and property destruction as above mentioned. Well-meaning folks in the northern states honestly feel that we people of the South are unjust and cruel in dealing with the Negro. They think our "im crow" laws are dastardly; they think it a shame that we don't have some bigger policemen patrolling the streets and telling white men where to spit; they think it awful that a "cult" lecturer on race-equality from Chicago can't come and disassemble hotels and tavernas, or sit by the side of our daughters in the theaters. Our friends in the North can so abound and think SAILS ON A FUNLOUGH Ever. P. H. Eaton, pastor of the Community A. M. H. Church, New York, and his wife, A. R. Eaton, M. C.

We've got a plan that WORKS. Our plan doesn't call for a race was everywhere we find it necessary to settle with one had niggers. To my mind, the aspiration of the Negro to sit by the size of the white man in the councils of the White men's civilization is the very arm's of impedance. In the world's six thousand years of history the Negro remained a beast in the woods and didn't even learn to cook his meat. He worshipped fire, thinking it was a god that feared on dry sticks. The Negro produced no historian, even of his own long night of savagery there gleams no star. The Negro, through sixty centuries, never wrote a book, never composed an opera, never painted a picture, never carried a statue, never sang a song that would grace music's kingly realm. White adventurers trapped him in his native jungles only a few years ago; shipped him in chains to serve the white man in other lands; a stroke of political fortune makes him free and "equal" to the white man in our country, and he has the communists' gill and impudence to want a place at the council board of the white man's civilization.

AN UNWRITTEN CHAPTER OF HISTORY Our contemporary, the New Amsterdam Newa, has been "spilling the beans," in the language of Admiral Sims. We note the revelation of parts in the "curia" of the Black Cabinet that held away during the reign of King B. T. Washington, and, as it now appears, the hand of the man who rocked the cradle of statecraft seemed to be weakening in his faith. Some of the men who were the steam of light, which has awakened the summer droway roustaboula, who are anxiously waiting to see the clay feet of our putative idol smashed to pieces. During the period that Rosevelt, the first, was on his thirte, we were unable to ascertain the deft powers which a man from a state where the right to vote is denied man of the race, and himself disqualified by virtue of his bronze features though his father was a peer among his fellow citizens. His struts pointed to his greatness. He was a man who terminated brow dampened the manhood of many sterling men who in the North eventually joined the Northern Democratic party to keep some semblance of political respect. Now comes the Amsterdam News revealing a chapter in those days that made men angry and when pens were dipped in virilol. We now learn that Dr. Washington was in the hands of a coterie of skillful politicians. The incite revelations of the appointment of Judge Terrell and Charles W. Anderson is now known beyond preadventure. It would not be presumptuous on our part to inquire, how it came about for the doctor to have prepared his paper and form a part of that splendid volume on education. We had our double that Dr. Washington had prepared under the education of the Negro buttressed by column after column of tabular Shakespeare, in the mouth of Henry VIII to Cardinal Wolsey, say that it was "a flas head." We are curious, not from the standpoint of vindictiveness or personal adulation, to ascertain the paternity of the literary boy; therefore, think it opportune to ask how far was the learned father of the coin word Afro-American author of "Monographs on Education in the United" States, No. 18," which is ascribed to Booker T. Washington from pages 988 to 988, volume two, and delivered in Paris, France, during the Exposition of 1900. There are wiscasses hanging on to life who remember the said writer going to the Congregational Library, the Congregational Library marshaling the facts and the construction of sentence after sentence. The style of the paper does not materially differ from the present style as shown occasionally in the Amsterdam News. We believe since the candid admission of how judge Terrell was appointed to office and the calling of Dr. Emmett Scott to prove one thing—we are on the eve of more revelations because the proving of one thing will be the disproving of others. Some of the works under the name of Booker T. Washington differs from others as one star in glory differs from another star in purgatory. Therefore a number of people who think that they can pick the tomes and who wrote them. Perhaps we will hear from ...

His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey, the United States citizen which has given a knockout blow to his enemies, and those of this grand association. It shows to unbelievers that the grand Universal Negro Improvement Association is being guided to its destiny by the hand of the Almighty, Creator, and that Truth and Justice cannot perish. Members of this association should not be turning-point in the history of the U. N. J. A.

Manus Garvey, all the clinching her arguments with profuse biblical quotations, which was followed by the lifting of the beautiful silken flag of the Red, the Black and the Green.

MINISTER WAS AGAINST ANTAGONIZING DARK RACE Dr. Fleming Says Whites Rule, but Comprise Only 40 Per Cent. of Population Pleading for better inter-racial friendships, Dr. Daniel Johnson Fleming, professor of missions at the Union Theological Seminary, recently warned delegates to the Ministers' Midsummer Conference against antagonizing the darker races against the whites of the world. "While nine-tenths of the world's surface is ruled by the white races," said Dr Fleming, who has been a missionary in China, Japan and India, "they comprise only four-tenths of its population. There are 560,000,000 of the light races, as opposed to 1,150,000,000 of the darker people. For today's racial conflict, must be leased. The white races doubles its numbers in eighty years, the brown in sixty, and the black in forty. As the ratio is increasing the problem can be alarming. "The aftermath of the war has left many hatreds. Some of the Arabs now pray, 'God curse England.' Africans who feel that France has been too hard on them no longer love that country as they did. China now says she hates Japan first and England second, and that she loves America first and Germany next. "There is tinder here for a great conflagration. Race prejudice, it has been found, is a racial habit descended from primitive man, but economic competition fosters it." THE FIRST STONE 22 Flatbush avenue Brooklyn, N. Y.

NEGRO CAPTURES HILI Porter Diaarms Gunman Who Cowed Five Chicago Sleuths Chicago, July 12—Thomas (Tommy) O'Connor, alleged gunman and slayer, wanted here on four murder charges and in the pursuit of whom one Chicago detective was killed and five others were discharged for cowardice, is under arrest in St. Paul, it was learned today, when Caitls were received here of the masser in which a Negro Pullman针ocked a gun from O'Connor's hand and forced him from a coach, near which he was captured later by railway employees. O'Connor, who has been the object of a country-wide search for months, was taken Monday night when he tried to hold up a Chicago Great Western paintsman train on the outskirts of Paul. O'Connor, although unarmed himself, knocked one of the three guns O'Connor was carrying from his hands and kicked him from the train. Other railway employees then seized the man, fear of whom resulted in the discharge of five Chicago politemen on charges that they had permitted his escape by hiding behind trees and telephone phones after he had shot and killed a brother officer. Detective Sergeant Patrick O'Neil. Identified at St Paul The prisoner was turned over to the St. Paul police, who later identified him as the much feared O'Connor Four Chicago detectives, led by Chief of Detectives Michael Hughes, have left for F. Paul to bring him back to Chicago. O'Connell was shot and killed on the night of March 28, after he and the five other policemen had gone to the home of O'Connor's brother-in-law in search of the gunman. O'Connell was shot down and the slayer fled. O'Connor previously had jumped $25.000 bonds upon being indicted for the second time for the murder of "Jimmy" Cherin, a friend. James Gallagher, wanted in Chicago on a charge of murder in connection with a bank robbery, also is being held by the St. Paul police. EXPECTATION I hall the day that dawns for me When Africa's golden land I see And gaze upon its sunny fields And bask upon its shorea Methinks I see my native land The land God gave to me As God gave to the Israelites When Joshua led them there But God has given unto me A leader good as he. And He will strengthen him To reach that fair and treasured land. ROSALIA PHYFER. 225 West 140th St. New York City. talk any NOTICE Delegates Coming to the national Negro Co.

REPOSITORY 40 West 12th Street SIDE LIGHT ON GARVEYSEI BY A NON-GARVEYITE It is so closely allied to some of the traits of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that I cannot help writing on the subject. I was about nine years old and was at school, though I have since learned the quiet charm of a good book. in those days I hated them devoutly. That, in conjunction with a rude companion who was about one year my senior and who took such pleasure in giving me a licking whenever he thought fit, gave me an indescribable distill for school. I can see him now, beaming with merriment after he had got through applying a thrashing with abundant goodness. I grieves me now as I write when I remember how I plauged my mother with complaints; the wealth of love and sympathy she extended upon me, there could be nothing like it. One day after my noble friend had done himself justice by giving me a thorough flogging I ran home to my mother as usual. She could not bear it any longer, turning to me in a fury, she asked—"Where are your handa" and before I could answer she held up a piece as much as that of my friend. Placing me before her she marched me off to the point of attack and with two more strokes sent me forward to meet my adversary. My friend being the bully, had about a dozen well-wishers. I had two--my mother and the strap. The fight started. Perhaps I would have yielded from force of habit, but looking behind me I mother's eyes, hardly knowing or caring what I did for my blood was up, I threw off the grasp of my man and with one stout blow I felled him. The above narrative shows us one truth. Thou shalt be paid exactly for what thou has done—no more, no less. Truly it is not in our star but in ourselves that we are underlings. Because Marcus Garvey preaches self-protection and self-determination, he is denounced by men who call themselves Negro leaders; because he does not tell his followers to love those who ostracise, lynch and segregate them, he is accused of propagating revolutionary idea, destructive of the good and welfare of the government, and of being a "good man"? true that he advocates right and, as we know, right has its wrath, the wrath of right is an element of progress. The brutalities of progress are called revolution. When they are over, this fact will be recognized—that the Negro race has been treated brutally, but it has progressed.

If ever he does I am confident it is about our Father- land—Africa. I believe he is misunderstood. Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galilee, and Newtown, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flash. They endeavored to keep him cut of the United States by making false statements which they believe would appeal to the authorities, but he is sad, and I am glad of it; not because he is a man of no progress if its headquarters were elsewhere, but because I believe that wholesome berries ripen best when neighbored by fruits of herer qualities His talk about Africa is ridiculed by his enemies, but you may rest assured that if these people had lived in England when America was being discovered and undeveloped they would never want to come here. Their motto is "Let the white man develop" and we are satisfied to be taken there as they may or ready money is their object. They say that the hearts of their followers and are find that gambling is most prevalent among Negroes in New York. The snapping of the fingers that follow a throw of dice is so well known that as Negroes have nearly manipulated the entire business of running elevators, it is used to start them on their upward and downward flights. Their idea of race progress is to see their followers in a good suit of clothes, a ten-cent cigar and a walk in our restricted district from nine clock in the morning until nine o'clock and from thence to the place appointed. They will do or say anything even though it contributes to our destruction and ignominy once they are reaping peculiary benefits. Put not your trust in these selfish intellectuals. Form no connections too closely with any who live only in the atmosphere of admiration and praise. The love or friendship of such people rarely contracts itself into the narrow circle of individuals. You-if you are brilliant like them, hate you, if you are dull they will despise. I admire Gavryle because his ideals are equivalent to those of an innocent Negro and I am sure they are glad of him as a representative. For my part I have always praised his efforts. I will do so in Hell, Heaven or any other free port, and sing to him the psalm his mother must have sung at his birth: The mind is its own place and in itself Can make a Heaven or Hell; Hero at least We shall be free.
