The Negro World

TH NEGRO HAS TRAVELED ACROSS THE DESERTS AND PRAIRIES OF HUMAN PR Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Having traveled for hundreds of years across the deserts and prairies of human prejudice we have now arrived at the crossroads of racial destiny. Each and every race today seems to be travelling in its own direction. The great human family has divided itself and each unit feels that there is a singular goal to be achieved, hence we hear the cry of "Japan for the Japanese!" "China for the Chinese!" "India for the Indians!" "Europe for the Europeans!" and now the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world are shouting in tones stentorian "Africa for the Africans!" Not only has humanity divided, but has become more suspicious of each other. No one group will believe the professed intentions of the other, in that selfishness of purpose has so surrounded us that it is apparent that truth, love, honesty, charity have taken their flight to another world. Because of the absence of these virtues man has not disposed to pass his destiny over to his brother, but seeks to find his own. Just at this time, therefore, it becomes opportunity for the Negro, amidst all the environments of aggression and heated preparedness on the part of others, that we too should strike out on line singular and build for ourselves an independence, a power through which we can live secure. The program of "African for the Africans, those at home and those broad," that has been outlined by the Universal Negro Improvement Association seems to be maliciously and wickedly misunderstood and misinterpreted among a certain class of writers and speakers of the race in the United States of America. We have been accused of endeavoring to persuade the Negro of this Western world to give up thinking of taking a part in anything local, such as politics, business and religion, but that he should focus all his attention and his ability and all his resources on Africa, for all Negroes are requested to go back to Africa by us. This is a downright untruth, and no one knows it better than the person who writes and speaks in opposition to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The object of our organization is not to dump all Negroes in Africa, not to ship all Negroes to Africa, but to encourage all Negroes to help in the building up of Africa as a great Negro nation, and those who desire to go to Africa and live there under their own democracy, their own flag, will do so to their own advantage. There are some Negroes, such as those who write against the African nationality for Negroes, who would be of no use anywhere except to defraud, to rob and to exploit others. America has suffered and, for that matter, the West Indies, also, from grafting, designing self-seekers, as newspaper then, some of them as preachers, others as politicians, who have tried to deceive the ignorant masses into believing just the contrary to that which is true, thereby capitalizing and utilizing the innocence of those they come in contact with. It is the duty, therefore, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to reach down to the masses of our people in America, in the West Indies, and warn them against the unscrupulous methods of some of those who pretend to lead, especially in advising them what they should do and what they should not do. All intelligent students of political and domestic science will readily admit that the future of the Negro outside of Africa spells ruin and disaster, except such Negroes surround themselves with the help—political, moral and otherwise—and build themselves a strong Negro government—a government sufficiently strong to lend protection to Negroes anywhere and which in turn will compel the respect of all races and nations of the world. Such an example we have in the higher development of Japan, where years ago the average Japanese was slighted because of his non-development nationally, but who has become today a recognized power because of the success of his own nation. There are some Negroes who, because of their own personal purposes, seek in this generation to fool the race into believing that we are secure, so as to be able to exploit us and giving no care as to what the future holds. This short-sightedness among our leaders means nothing else but ruin to the entire race in this Western world, and it is for the masses to cut away from such insincere men and women who attempt to make them believe that all is well, and all will be well, when in their innermost hearts they know that the future holds nothing but chaos as far as the Negro is concerned if he prepares not himself for that future. Preparation of the part of the Negro does not mean that he must only get the vote, and that he must only get a job or start a business of his own. Such preparation is quite necessary, but without political protection, that protection that can be seen and felt, the protection such as big nations give to their subjects and citizens everywhere, then, all the Negro does will count for present because the prejudice that will stand out against him even with his ballot in his hand, with his industrial progress to show will be of an overwhelming nature, as to perpetuate mob violence and rule from which the Negro will suffer and which he will not be able to stop with his industrial wealth or with his ballot. You may argue that he can use his industrial wealth and his ballot to force the government to recognize him, but he must understand that the government is the people, that the majority of the people dictate the policy of the government, and if the majority of the people are against a measure, a thing, or a race, then the government is impotent to protect that thing, that measure or that race. If the Negro were to live in this western world for another five hundred years, he would still find himself outnumbered by superior numbers of other races, and when those other races are prejudiced against him, what will be his resort? He cannot resort to the protection of government, for government will be in the hands of the people, of those who are prejudiced against him by majority rule, hence for the Negro to depend upon the ballot and his industrial progress alone will be like depending on a broken stick which will never support him in time of need, even as it does not support him, when he is lynched, burned, slim-crowded, segregated, so it is foolishness on the part of some of our so-called leaders to write and to speak prejudicial to the grand and glorious cause of "Africa" for the Africans, those at home and those abroad; for the salvation of the entire race will only come when all Negroes through united effort will have built for themselves on the great continent of Africa a nation sufficiently strong to compel other nations and races to respect us. We have to build a nation will, battleships, dreadnights, super-dreadnights, cruisers, submarines and maintain an army in size second to none. You will be a great NOW CALLED UPON TO EXERT HIMSELF IN BEHALF OF LIBERTY Humanity Has Divided, Says Leader of Negro Race—Should Strike Out for Independence to give to the world your latest inventions and develop your military skill even surpassing that of others, and not until then will the world call a halt in the outrage of the Negro. It does not mean that all Negroes must leave America and the West Indies and go to Africa to build up a government. It did not take all the white people of Europe to come over to America to lay the foundation of the great republic, therefore, those who write disparagingly of the grand program of Africa for the Africans are doing so without paying any attention to history. And these men know better, but they are only doing these things, writing and speaking against the Universal Negro Improvement Association to cover their own selfish alms, to keep the people still in ignorance for the purpose of exploiting them. But if these so-called leaders will continue to promulgate these false notions among the people, then it will be the duty of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to wage a more strenuous campaign to reach every man and woman of the Negro Race and convey to him and her the right idea, and let these exploiters of our race fall back and die by themselves if they think themselves too good to fall in line with the masses and travel toward the destiny that each and every one of us should be willing to carve out for ourselves. Some Negro writers and speakers take delight in referring to the people who make up progressive moments of the race as being this illiterate and ignorant masses, singing themselves out as the "intellectuals" of the race. I have even read criticisms of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Negro magazines and newspapers referring to the millions who make up the rank and file of the movement as being ignorant and illiterate. I wonder if these so-called "intellectuals" do not know that if the ignorant and illiterate masses take away their support from their magazines and newspapers they will have to starve and become themselves a part of the masses. Which doctor of philosophy of the Negro race could continue to write for his magazine if the so-called illiterate masa did not buy it month by month for ten or fifteen cents? The masses of our race must become more critical, more probing; they should refuse to support men of their race who believe themselves better than they are, who will continue to refer to them as illiterate and ignorant, because in very truth these so-called leaders could not live for a month without the support of the masses, and in many cases the support they got from the masses has been wrung from them through their deception, graft and general dishonesty. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is satisfied to be with the masses, and we are satisfied to be as ignorant as the masses; but the masses have always been able to save themselves, while the classes have always been destroyed through their own conceit. If we were really to compare the intelligence of the people, I feel sure that an impartial judge and jury would give credit to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the world over for reflecting the highest intelligence among Negroes today, so that the conceit of these so-called "intellectuals" really does not count for anything, because they are only concerned in their knowledge of pedantry, that they have learned in the schoolroom and have gleaned from the writings and sayings of others, they compute to be education, and what they have culled from books of science and what they know of art and literature as taught them by others they try to impress us with the belief that that makes them "intellectuals." Everybody can cull and copy. But the masses of the people, I am proud to say, though not college graduates, have passed through the greatest university mankind has ever known, and that is the University of the World. With common sense and experience the masses can guide themselves, but with the so-called superior education of some of our doctors and professors they still have to linger on the good-will, the charity and the support of the masses. The Universal Negro Improvement Association will at no time speak or write disparagement of the masses, because it is the masses we depend on for the salvation of the entire race. The Negro who feels himself above the mass of the people, who is too intellectual to learn to be one of the crowd, is the fellow that we have to pass by because by his selfishness he becomes only a stumbling block in the path of progress. Let each and every one, therefore, realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not teaching Negroes to discard or to throw away opportunities that may be beneficial to them; to the contrary, we say to all Negroes in America, the West Indies and elsewhere, selee all opportunities that come to you, but remember our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves, and that nation can be nowhere else but in Africa. pared today, so Asia is prepared; the two confluenta and the two oppressa races may never go to war, yet they take us chances with them. As Europe is prepared, as Asia is prepared, so should Africa be prepared; but that we may once have any use for the force we control, but it is better to be prepared than otherwise. Some people seem to think that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is too big, too elaborate. But what of the program of other races and nations? Are they big, are they elaborate? What about the program of Ireland, what about the program of Egypt, what about the program of India? Are they elaborate? What do they seek? They seek freedom, complete independence for the people who make up these countries, and so we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association seek a program that will bring about freedom for the four hundred million Negroes of the world. If it is necessary for Ireland to have an elaborate program; if it is necessary for Egypt to have an elaborate program, and for India to have an elaborate program, then it is also necessary for Africa to have an elaborate program; but some Negroes are naturally small-minded, especially the "intellectual," and especially when they are paid to say and do certain things. There are some Negroes so selfish that if you pay them five or elee thousand dollars a year they will look into your face and tell you it is not necessary for the Negro to bestir himself, for everything will come to time, and they will read pages of philosophy and tell you that you should not do anything on your own account, but allow others to plan for you. Some of them tell us this in the pulpit, and some of them tell us through their monthly magazine, and their weekly formats. We are tired of this rot. The masses of our people are going to rule on the industry of all race is concerned, therefore our self-appointed leaders and philosophers may well take notice that it is going to be a race to the finish. We do not want any division in the Negro race, but we must have truth, we must have honesty, and if our so-called leaders still not give in truth and honesty we of the masses will lose ourselves and let them follow the many of the unclefed "intellectuals" have started to follow the universal Negro Improvement Association already some of them have gone even as far as Paris, London and Brumela to take a little of the wind out of the call of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with the big program of "Africa for the Africans," but everybody knows that anything that is counterfeited cannot pass the observation of the keen observers for long, whether it be a coin or any instrument it will be found out in a short while. We have had so many counterfeits since emancipation in America and the West Indies so many paid "intellectuals" who have been used to subvert the bigger aims and ideals of our race that we have become well acquainted with them, and we say to those who are in existence now that they will not have as easy a time as those who lived twenty or thirty years ago. The masses of our people must rule. The masses are no longer illiterate and ignorant; the masses are wide awake. We are going to evolve our own leadership based upon honesty of purpose and true integrity so that all self-appointed leaders, philosopher and guilder may take notice thus the new Negro is not in a mood to be trivial, with. We realise that our bitter enemies are not so much among other races as within our own ranks. We realize that the monkey-wrench of destruction as thrown into the way of progress is not thrown by the outsider, but by the very fellow who is in our fold and who should be the first to grieve the wheel of progress rather than seek to destroy. For the sake of self, for what I can get out of all our biggest men, have always stood in the way of our advertisement. We are not going to tolerate this any longer; we are determined now that something must be done, and we are going to do it. The Universal Negro Improvement Association desires the help, the cooperation of every Negro and we are giving every Negro a chance to come in now. He may be an intellectual glaze, he may be a plenary, each and every one can find a place in this grand movement. The movement is not belonging to any one person it is not belonging to any certain of them if it is belonging to the entire race. Come in, therefore, and join hands and let us march on toward the goal of freedom and truth liberty, of democracy on the shores of Africa, and to be protected by eminent Americans the West Indies and everywhere. I must repeat that our program does not mean that every Negro must go to Africa. You may remain just where you are and work for the cause of Africa to be ultimately protected by the everyman of Africa, in large numbers, but that all Negroes go to Africa may not there are no one to any country or even to themselves. Some of them are gallant heroes and doctors, as well as others are tramps, so that anyone who endeavors to present the Universal Negro Improvement Association in saying that we want the people to go to Africa will be recognized immediately as an emblem of truth because it is really not the purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association now seeks the NEGROES DETERMINED TO DO FOR THEMSELVES IN AFRICA WHAT WHITE PEOPLE HAVE DONE IN EUROPE AND ELSEWHERE LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday evening, Oct. 16, 1921—Marcus Garvey, the Provisional President of Africa and President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association delivered an address here tonight that should interest and be read and studied by every Negro in the land. His topic was "The Flight Upward." In it his dwelt in a philosophical manner upon the Negro's status, past, present and future. He said that the world had settled the police for the Negro, placing as a limit his industrial education, and decreeing, "Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther." In line with this doctrine, Booker T. Washington was regarded by the white people as the Negro's leader, into whose care was entrusted the mission of spreading the teachings of industrial education for the colored people. But the world made a mistake in believing that the Negro would be content to adhere to this doctrine alone. The great sage of Tuskegee left behind him, said Mr. Garvey, a new problem, one that must be solved not by the industrial leader, but by the political leader, and if Booker T. Washington were alive today he would have had to change his program to retain his right to continued leadership of a race so ambitious as the present-day Negro. Mr. Garvey even delved into theology during his address, holding that God is a God of war, and that when fighting his enemies—his ones they do. Backing up this assertion, he graphically described, by the aid of his imagination, the "greatest battle in the universe," between God and His hosts on the one side and Lucifer, the rebellious archangel, and his hordes on the other side, which resulted in Lucifer being cast out of heaven into the uttermost pit of hell. This reference to God and His attributes was used to show that the Negro is justified in fighting his enemies vigorously since God himself has set the example. Some people, he said, want the Negro to be easy in what we say about the other race, so as "not to offend the good, white people." This seemed very ridiculous to Mr. Garvey, who answered his own question as to where are these "good, white people," by saying that they are all in the land of the saints. He made by the President-General some weeks ago, remarking that Mr. Garvey was "knocking" the Negro by saying that he has not accomplished anything. But, said the speaker, in comparison to other people, what we have accomplished besides wearing fine clothes, living in fine apartment houses, and buying furniture that we cannot pay for. Other people have not only churned, but have banks, factories, milling steamships, railroads, and so forth, and in its things there should be some besides he possesses these things as the result of his great progress; he rather blames the Negro himself for not being equally industrious and hard-working. Booking of the U, N. L. A., he said that it had come upon the scene at the psychological moment when the white man is, about to, appropriate even African in his domain; but to this the Negro is now saying: "Halt, there, hold!" "Keep in your own domain, for when you come to Africa there is danger there." He advised Negroes to take new courage and not to imitate and follow the bad things seen in the white race, but rather to adopt the good that we know. Some Negroes are "lazy," and that this can't be done and that can't be done, such Negroes, his believers, are "good for nothing," and if he had any prayer to make, he would bray: "God, please, take away all good-for-nothing Negroes." Before entering on the disclosis of the issue, which lay had prepared for his address, Mr. Garvey announced the continuation of the special meetings which were being held in Liberty Hall and which would last all during this week. He called special attention to the meeting on Tuesday night, which he said, would be addressed by Needham Roberta, the hero of the New York Fiveeenth. Hon. Rudolph Smith, leader of the eastern Province of the West Indies, who had just returned from an extended visit to Detroit, was among the speakers tonight and brought a glowing report of the division being done there by the Detroit Division of the U. N. L. A. The membership had grown considerably in the last few months, and is in a most healthy and prosperous state. He was almost a hearty creation, his address to feel and to believe that there is no use trying—nothing can be done. Because of such teaching we have struggled on for fifty-old years in America and eighty-old years in the West Indies without being able to evolve and ideal through which we would arrest the attention of serious minded people. The world has been trained to disregard the Negro as a factor—as a force to be reckoned with. University races and nations pay no attention to the action of the Negro because they know it means nothing. They have judged in the past the entire race by the representation of those who have led us in so much so that the world settled the policy for the Negro, and his limit was industrial education—thus far and no further. The world hold up the great hero, Booker T. Washington, as the only leader, and they looked forward to him and his teachings as the leadership of all times, not calculating that the industrially educated Negro would himself evolve a new ideal after having been trained by the great teacher—the great sage of Tuckekee. The world satisfied itself to believe that succeeding leaders—should Booker T. Washington do would but follow T. Washington of the great sage of Tuckekee and all the Negro was industrial serfdom, industrial peonage and all would be well. The New Negro Evolving New Ideal The new issue leaving us Unfortunately the world is about to have a rude encounter, in that we have to be willing to embrace a new ideal. The new ideal includes the program of Rocker Washington, but it does not stop T. Washington. The new ideal does not mean to exclude anything that Dr. Rocker Washington did or said, but we have taken in all that and have even gone further. And it seems that the world has been slow in appreciating the fact that there is a ideal. When we started the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association many of the races and nations of the world impugned the idea and said that it was a cruel dream—it was the work of a visionary who was fit only for the crazy house. Nevertheless, that same world that said it was an idle dream is now realizing that it might be a serious reality. The Negro the Balance of Power We occupy today a very favorable position among the races and nations of the world. As a race we are regarded as the balance of power—the balance of power in political affair—and politics rules the world; understand that—not religion; not society; not so much industry, although industry is the science that rules the world; and in politics the Negro is the balance of power. Nobody wins except the Negro is there. And gradually the world is getting beyond normal. Surely we are not living in a normal world. The world has gone crazy; the world has gone mad; the world is unstable; the world today is next door to chaos, and you form the balance of power between the contending factors who are endeavoring to rule and dominate this world. No one factor can rule the world without the sympathy and the assistance of the Negro. Things have changed wonderfully since Dr. Booker Washington came on the scene. When he came on the scene he realized the great potential opportunity for the Negro. I repeat the sage of Truteguez paused off, the stars of life and has left behind him a new problem—problem that must be solved not by the industrial leader but by the political leader. If Washington had lied, he would have had to change his program. No leader can successfully lead this race but without giving a correct interpretation of the new spirit of the new Negro, and the new spirit of the Negro does not seek industrial opportunity; it seeks a political voice, and the world is amazed, the world is astounded that the Negro should desire a political voice, because "the voice comes a political place, and moves a political place in the political realm of the world, and we have sent our challenges to us, that we are not only asking but, we are going to demand—we are going to fight for and die for that place." (Applauding). And the world has got to realize it—the world has got to know it, and Nice Host Ride to the Ossession. You can only impress the world by demonstrating it to the aesthetics of your intention. And the *Universal Negra Umanistrat Association* has found, and held itself been underway to impress upon the world the sorrowfulness—the prince of the lowly Negro* [the man] God has given to you, the extent that overwrites his best wishes and will make also his the future, or as willing, of this world, sorrow and this great, dare that bestows the Negro. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1921 Booker T. Washington, Had He Lived, Would Have Had to Change Policy to Retain Continued Leadership of the Negro DESIRE OF NEW NEGRO BEING NOT ONLY FOR INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY, BUT FOR POLITICAL LIBERTY AS WELL—IS NOW REGARDED AS BALANCE OF POWER IN THE WORLD, POLITICALLY — "CAN'T DO" AND "CAN'T BE DONE" NEGROES A DRAWBACK TO RACE DETROIT DIVISION NOW 5,000 STRONG—RUDOLPH SMITH REPORTS SPLENDID PROGRESS ON RETURNING FROM RECENT VISIT —PRESIDENT GENERAL AND HIGH CHANCELLOR VISIT PHILADELPHIA AND BRING GOOD NEWS be made have been cheap enough to make an effort to subvert the greater cause by originating and fostering counter propaganda and counter programs calling them all kinds of names, some all them Pan-African congresses, and they call them by other names for the purpose of distracting the mind of the new Negro and preventing him from understanding correctly what he wants. Leaders here and leaders there have been sought out to turn the tide of N gro hope—of Negro ambition. But thank God they have not been able to turn the tide of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Inducments Being Offered Governments have offered inducements to individual members of our race who have for years stood out prominently among us due to positions given to them the ambitions the people could be offered satisfied that the powers that be are doing everything to be fair to the Negro—to be just to the Negro. Those are the dangers that we have to avert—the subfugues that will be handed out as a compromise to prevent your travel toward the goal you have set for yourself. Information has been supplied to me not long ago where certain men have been offered big positions so as to turn the tide of the Universal Negro Improvement Association so that this government and that government may be able to say, "What is the use of your discontent? Look what we have done for you! Look what we have done with one of your men! We have made him at attorney general" in the colonies. In some we have started to make Negro attorneys general; they have started to hand out certain concessions to certain natives to plant their spirit of discontent and for them to use it as an argument to satisfy the Negroes everywhere that the powers that be are looking after their interests. It is a pity they started so late; but it is too late. They took too long a time to show us what they meant; and now the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not going to be satisfied with a judgehip here and with some Negro occupying a position of attorney general there. We want hundreds of thousands of judges; we want hundreds of men of our own race in our own parliaments, and since we cannot have parliaments, and since we cannot have in these parts of the world surely we are going to have it in Africa. (AP. plausa.) Oursalvea Some of you pray and any God will take you out of satire and never took you into slavery. You took yourself self-love, anyway because you were worthy and good for nothing. God never takes a race into slavery, nor does He take a race out of slavery, otherwise He wouldn't. God. You take yourselves into slave you betook yourselves into serfdom; you betook yourselves into pogrom and remain in that state so long as you laughed at them, lack ambition to do, so long will you wallow in the dust and in the gutter, and when you get hold of that human ambition to do, free at very much on you are a free man (Applause). "Can't Do" Needs a Dr. ask to Race It stirs my v y blood when I hear Negroes talking about this or that, saying, "It can be done or that they 'can not do this or that'; Negroes who are always apologizing, saying, 'I can not do it; what the use of trying'." Such Negroes ought to die, because they reflect against the manhood of the race. This is not the time to talk about "it can't be done," but Negroes can "it can be done," and the power is in you to do it. You put that power into you, because God Almighty placed it there when he gave you the breath of life, and you are refusing to function as a man when you refuse to rise to the heights of a man. You are stifling the spirit of God in you when you refuse to rise to the highest point of human possibility within you. And I am saying to you, accept not the doctrine of the weak-nosed leader who tells you that "it cannot be done"; who tells you that you cannot not offend the good white people. Where are they? In the land of the saints, where all of us are white and all of us are black; that's where the "good white people" are. Makes a Practical Comparison Makes a Practical Comparison When your rights are at stake there is no need or occasion for you to think whom you are offending in demanding and getting thens, except you are going to be less than a man. I would like to talk to you about my watch and chain; my property I worked hard for; bought with dollars that were dollars or sweat, and be comes and picks it out of my pocket, and somebody tells me I must go easy with the good fellow. (Laughter.) Your birthright has been stolen; your birthright has been robbed from you and this is no time for you to "go easy" with the man who possesses it; it is rather time for you to get out and knock him into eternity. (Applauses.) GOD does Not Like a Coward God does not like a coward. God is a bold God, a warrior God, and as I said this afternoon to the people of Philadelphia, the God we worship and adore, is a God of war as well as a God of peace. The God we worship and adore does not allow anything to interfere with His power and authority. If you want to find out how hard a general, how hard a soldier God in you attempt to interfere with His power, then you will want what sort of a God he is! what sort of a Bling is whatless. He is God of love, or of peace, or of a God of war. Describes Battle in Heaven, Between God and Lover. As I call the grieved battle over Counts in the courtyard was not by the Khaler of Germany on the one hand, and the Allied Powers on the other. It was the war between Almighty God on the one hand, and Lucifer, the archangel, on the other, the greatest war ever fought in the universe, and the most hard-hearted general the world ever saw was the general known as God. When His enemy challenged His power in heaven, in His dominion, when Lucier, the archangel, marched out his battalions on the plains of paradise to challenge the Supreme Almighty God the Creator, the God we worship and adore, marshaled His forces. His archangels. His churubhins and His sorghamins and in battle army He placed Himself before them, with the royal standard of heaven and He faced the opposing general Lucier with his hordes on the battle plains of heaven, the great war begin. The whole world shook as the battle waged between the two opposing powers, and as god the Creator gained the upper hand of Lucier, what did he do? Did He hold the white flag of peace? No God Almighty, God the Omnipotent, took hold of Lucier and flung him from the heights of heaven to the depths of hell (great applause), thereby proving that He is a God of war as well as a God of love and a God of power. He was a great grasper His power, interferes with His power. He goes to war in defense of His rights. Man is only a little lower than the angels, the angels are only a little lower than the Creator but the Creator has bequeathed to angels and to men the same principles, the same policies that govern Him as God. And even as He goes to war in defense of His rights, so man goes to war in defense of his rights. Napoleon's Conception of God and War Right 7 believe with Napoleon. When some one asked him, "On whose side was God? He replied, "God is on the side of the strongest battalions." (Lancey) Napoleon was right. Napoleon had been really on the side of the strongest battalions, because God made all men equal and He never gave superior power to any one class or group of people over another, and any one who can get the advantage over another is pleasing God, because that is the servant who has taken care of God's com-munity in exercising authority over the world. And let me say, if you are going to live slaves you will die slaves and go to heaven, or anywhere else, slaves—go after death. But God has no place in heaven for slaves, so you know where you will go if you die slaves. (Laughter.) Some of us fatter ourselves to believe that God is with us and God is a being who is taking care of us in this sermon and peonage and slvery that we are enduring. God is vexed with you because you are subordinating the powers that He gave you. God gave you a spirit. God gave you a physical form. God gave you the form of creation, and you are a slave and expect God, the Lord, the Master, to be pleased with you! Pleaseed with you for what? What have you done that He should be pleased with you? You have not done anything. Foolish Criticism I made the same statement some weeks ago and a crazy NGO socialist tried to criticize it, holding that I was "knocking" the Nogro by saying that he has not accomplished anything Now, tell me, in real earnest, what have you done? All that we have done is to wear fine suits of clothes, to live in fine apartment houses, to buy furniture that we cannot pay for. What have we done, in comparison to other people? Some sister says, "bought churches." Yea, we have bought many churches on the instalment plan. But other people have churches, too, for churches are necessary, churches are essential to the spiritual welfare and well-being of a race or of a people or of a nation. But other people, besides churches, have banks, have fastories, have mills, have steamships, have railroads, have palaces, and when they are through a race, they can drive in their automobiles all the time. Monday to Saturday. They can go to the剧院, dressed up in diamonds and wearing costly clothing because they have worked for those things. Not Against the White Man Rescue Not Against the White Man Because of Nla Progress I am not against the white man in the sense of being opposed to him because of his progress; on the contrary, I compilent the white man for his progress, for he has made good use of God's power created in him. I am not with the white man; my question is not with the yellow man; my question is with you, the Negro. If a white man can conquer the world, then he is the fittest and he should survive. If the yellow man can conquer the world, he is the fittest and he should survive. If the black man is capable of conquer the world, he is the fittest and he should survive. And he should have some worth, well worth comparing. the world, and there seems to be very little space left for us. U. N. I. A. Comes on the Boom at the Psychological Time But, thank God, the Universal Negro improvement Association has come upon the stage not one day too soon, even though it be late. We have come at the psychological time, when the white man is about to include Africa in his world, and we say: 'Hail brother, hail!' (Great laughter.) "Keep all you have in your own province, in your own domain, but when you come to Africa, remember there is danger there--danger" Negress Should Take New Courage I am pleading with you men and women who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association to take new courage, just make up your minds that you will do. Ah, if I could get each and every woman leaving half, each and every woman leaving this hall tonight to resolve in his heart and in her heart and mind that "I will do. I will do!" and keep doing, in another twelve months the problem in New York will be solved, and this area occupied by others commercially would be occupied by us—just in twelve months. And between now and the next twelve months I am asking you to help me bring about that condition, which you can do by just keeping in your mind that we must have a new Harlem. Just make up a picture in your mind what Harlem ought to be, and work to make it so. That is all I want you to do. Just look around here in Harlem and see how you would like it to be. Pictures a New. Progressive Harlem for the Negro I would like to see Harlem scattered and covered over with Negro enterprises. Negro factories, Negro stores, Negro shops, Negro industries, all controlled by Negroes. That is my picture of the future Harlem, so that thousands of us could save ourselves the trouble of looking for employment in any other neighborhood than the neighborhood in which we live. Just picture such a possibility in your mind. I ask you Can you imagine a man who says, It can be done" The coward, the imbecile, the good-for-nothing says It can't be done." A Prayer for "Good-for-Nothing Negroes" If I must pray—and I will pray—let my prayer be "Give, please take out the world all the good for—nothing Nogroos" (Great laughter) Because such members of the race are a stumbling block in the way of the progressive ones. Men and women of Liberty Hall, there is nothing impossible under the sun for man so long as man does not interfere with the powers of God, so long as he does not start to build a Babel for God Almighty to confuse you, all things are possible. We here are not seeking to build a Tower of Babel; we are seeking only to build industrial freedom, commercial freedom, political liberty, and above all, we are seeking to found a government or the great continent of Africa. Will Speak During the Week on Africa During the week I will speak about Africa and our relationship to Africa. I want you to come out every night this week. You must be able to find twenty-five cents to come out to hear something good. You can find twenty- five cents to go to the cheap moving company with which you can go to the vaudeville theatres and someone make a mimic of our race. Oh, there is so much work for us to do! We cannot get the wherewith to do this work with if we do not unite and all do not help. Present Environments Are Crushing the Negro The plan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to help remove the Negro from the environments that are crushing the life out of him. We live at a great disadvantage in these environments, while we live in a civilization that is alien to us, whereby we have to imitate and follow everything the other fellow does, simply because we have no will of our own to know why the white world is so lacking pieces—is decaying? Because the white world is unable to control its own science and achievement. The white world is unable to control its own progress. Feightful View of White Man's Progress Within the last five years more harm has been done to civilization by the white man's scientific development than was done to the world within a hundred years prior therea. What do I mean by that? The white man has reached the same of his genius, of his development, and it appears that he is wrecking himself with his own development and with his own progress. Crime is on the increase among the people of the white race; immorality is on the increase among the white race; vices are on the increase among the white race, and it appears that only when the race is destroyed will the mistake they have made be known by their presenting certain things to the world today under the guise of civilization. Evil Influence in Moving Pictures One of the most destructive elements in the white man's progress is the moving pictures. It is educative in a way, and it is destructive in another. Since the moving pictures have been developed, the world has committed more crimes in order to be ever committed for a hundred years. Have gained a false notion of life by what moving pictures have portrayed to us on the screen; and the Negro, if he does not mind himself, will go down with the white man's destruction, because the Negro seems to be taking in everything that the white man presents to the world. You cannot afford to do that. You must evoke a civilization of your own. Discard the bad in other races, and pick out and imitate the good only, if you are to survive. The stage has caused many a Negro to lose his foothold in life. You know why so many of us dress as expensively, as many of us live as expensively? It is to express our impressions we get of life. A Negro comes here who never had a dime in his life, he gets twenty-five cents, goes to the moving picture theatre; he sees a picture thrown upon the screen that arouses his imagination, and causes him to have a yearning to do and accomplish the thing he sees in the picture, he wants to be an adventure; he wants to become a millionaire over night. Or he sees something else that makes him laugh, and he goes home and starts out on a foolishly attempts to do what he saw produced on the moving picture screen, which is impossible. Here the speaker closed by saying that he would deliver in Liberty Hall during the present week a series of lectures on these and similar subjects, realizing that the Negro is surrounded with a civilization that is not helping him, and he desired to emphasize the need of discarding the bad we see in the white man's civilization, and adopting that only which is good. HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAK8 The first speaker of the event was Hon. Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies. He just returned from a trip out West in the interests of the association, and made glowing reports of the success of the A. in those parts. "I bring you greeting," he said, "from 5,000 members in Detroit, the stronghold of Bishop Smith." The people there are so keenly interested in the Universal Negro Improvement Association that they are joined by the hundreds. In the space of a few weeks 500 new members joined the organization in Detroit, and the division was going so strong that they are about to start a large laundry plant in a few weeks. The membership now includes medical practitioners and lawyers. The President of the Division boiling a lawyer. He spoke of the cordial welcome which he was given in some of the largest and most wealthy churches in the city of Detroit, facetiously remarking that he was invited to speak in a congregational church where every one present owned an automobile. At that occasion he was requested to explain the difference in principles between the U. N. I. A. and the N. A. I. A. C. p which he did with such telling effect that the audience with one accord endorsed the U. N. I. A. as representing the true spirit of the New Negro. LADY DAVI8 8PEAK8 Lady Hanrietta Vinton Davis followed with a brief address in which she expressed her gratification at the report of the growth of the division in Detroit, adding that it had a hard time at first, but, like most things that struggle at first, they conquer at last. "We are conquering day by day and hour by hour," the speaker said, "and eventually we will come into our own and our own is in the redemption of Africa. In the future we will conquer; our own is giving to the world the greatest line of ships that sailed the seven seas—the Black Star Line." HIGH CHANCELLOR SPEAK8 Hon. Dr G E Stewart. High Chancellor, also delivered a brief address. Having just returned from Philadelphia, he brought greetings from the Philadelphia Division, which he said, was doing good work. He had the pleasure of visiting the clinic, where the Black Cross Nurse are receiving their training, and he had seen them on the streets, not only in their white uniforms, but in blue dress and white aprons, doing practical work among the colored people. The nurses there, he said, are determined, as they told him, to have a maternity hospital. They receive practical training from medical men who are also members of the U. N. I. A. (Dra Cooper and Hannon). The members of the association are highly respected in Philadelphia and, he added, it would appear as if the world today is looking up with great interest in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No longer are men ashamed to become members. On the contrary, they are ashamed to admit that they are not members of the U. N. I. A.

This week these lightly meetings will be continued. By the end of this week the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, will have caused the excuse ground to crumble under the feet of all cynics, those within the race and those without. When these lightly misplaced by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the Hon. Marcus Garvey viewpoint, his righteous aspiration, his ability have been preserved in book form, the Lencor larkin will be out of a job the allen's acorn, the spineless Nacoe's meera, must fall on unheeded ears. The doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should, in an unlightened world, need no defending. The Hon. Marcus Garvey showed this clearly in his eloquent his powerful, his convincing manner. He left no room for doubt. He spared neither the Negro nor his oppressors. One wonders why it should be necessary for Marcus Garvey, whose minutes must be as precious as Lloyd George or Lennon or Harding's or Hughes, to hold forth thus to be trying to make Negroes see that there is a one-way road. The portentous happenings of the East should be sufficient for most men. The burial, unhonored and unusing of the mythical saying. The Unchanging East should be enough. The sublimeness of the Negro, now that a United States of India is an Oriental reality, should so appoll him, should so radica / reclaim him that Marcus Garvey need not get housed considering Negroes. He should effort to place before the doubling Negroes in all clearness and frankness the Negro of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to convince them of the feasible nature of the proposals and the vital need for their fulfillment, last week's revival stands unqualified. The Hon. Marous Survey spoke on four nights — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the principal speaker at the Friday night meet-presentation at Duvall. Commissioner for the State of New York. His subtests were as follows. Monday—Can the Negro found and build a nation? Tuesday—Will the Negro become an industrial power? Wednesday—Society among Negroes Thursday—Is the Negro future in America or Africa? Dr. Duvall made a stirring appeal to the men and women of the race to the banner of the Red, Black or White, and so make the year 1921-1923 an able assisted by the following speakers—Lady Honoretta V. Davis, International Organizer, Sir William Ferris, Assistant President General Hon. V. S. Poston, Minister of Labor and Industry, and Hon. R. L. Poston Second Assistant Secretary-General. Not the lowest feature of the week's program was the musical offering. The program was the Blue Line Band, under Professor Isaac, undoubtedly enhanced its reputation, and rendered by Mrs. Fraser-Robinson, Professor Stoller, Mr. Arnold Ford and the Universal choir. HOW GERMAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY TREATS NEGROES (Special To The Negro World) By J. M. DONALDSON Grand Bassa, Liberia, April 8, 1921 Embarking from Monrovia aboard the $ 750.00 If I Fail to Grow Hair! World's Wonder Hair Grower XIX German steamer "Fredbrun" on the 7th inst. I met with the most grave conditions ever of the kind. "Fredbrun," translated, means the "Bridge of Peace," but not for the black man, until he makes peace for himself. On this voyage I had the good fortune of meeting the party of Bishop Brooke, which consisted of Bishop and Kira Cunningham, and the Grand Bishop the Rev. S. H. Campbell of Sierra Leone and many other clergymen, en route to various points down the coast to take up their respective charges. There were about twenty other passages aboard, indishe, gentlemen and children, among whom were the nieces of the Attorney General of Liberia and the sister-in-law of the Chief Justice in Liberia. Many of us purchased first-class passage, but the captain of the *Dresshaw* had them all cancelled and changed to deck tickets, advising that the deck was the only passage available, which meant to some of us a two or three days' voyage without a bed or toilet accommodations and to be unassisted from the weather, storm or what not, save a very scanty sun awning. Some of us had waited several weeks for passage and others of us know how long possibly we would have to wait, so we concluded to accept the first available passage. We went aboard at 1 o'clock p.m. and proceeded to find places of such comfort as were afforded upon the promenade deck. We found on this deck a white gentleman passenger who had been furnished with cabin accommodations and we were soon advised that the ship was chartered by a German steamship company from a Danish steamship company, thereby causing a Danish captain to be master of the ship, with a German captain of cargo, who is called the "Supercargo." We were also told that the captain-in-chief wanted us to understand that he was a "Niger Hater" and would not stand for us blacks to mix with the whites. Now, using the "Supercargo" as a go-between, the first orders were issued to us instructing us that we should move to the cargo deck and find passage in the hatch hole, where we would be invited for, with tarpaulin for a sunshade, which we promptly refused. About this time Bishop Overs (white) in his recent visit to America published broadcast as a statement about the conditions of Liberty and her nation, which is an undisputed suit to this fair Republii! Bishop Overs party consisted of himself and the Rev. Dr. Gibson of Monrovia, who is the son of the late i.e.-President Gibson of Liberia and is now one of the bishop's ministers, and is the rector of the foremost Episcopal church in Liberia, stationed in Monrovia. The Hon. Dr. Gibson was placed with us on deck like cattle, while a stateroom was promptly arranged and placed at the disposal of Bishop Overs. There was a Syrian lady on board, who was also given a stateroom shortly after yet we, the Liberian, in Liberian waters, giving protection, extending courtesies to and shipping cargo and booking passage on an alien ship, must be insulted, rejected and segregated by her captain and crew who are seeking our ports for means of livelihood. Other attempts were made to remove us to the cattle pit, but we refused in a body and strenuously protested. They ceased to annoy us but only for a brief period of time, for when we had about settled ourselves, any warning water came dashing down from the bridge and gushing from many open places about the deck. We were forced to jump and scramble for safety and in removing our baggage, for water now flooding all around us and our belongings. While Bishop Brooks was in the stampede trying to drag his trunks and other luggage to safety, the deck-hands saw the hose fierce and high and literally covered Mrs. Brooks with water, and then this is what we said: "—— (21) There were many preachers, but not one of them took a Bible text for a subject. There were many U. N L A. supporters in the party, so that is explanation enough for what stand we took in resenting the treatment we received. All was done, the mighty Danish captain held council with his German lords and then designated Göppers to intervene. So he raised a flag over it and came peacably into our fort, yet he found much amusement and laughed himself. We were in peril and the flooded decks. He now wore a grim countenance and seemed to feel that the situation was grave. Thus, he served as messenger to the Danish captain, and after some persuasion Bishop Brooks agreed to go with him to the captain's cabin as pointentemporary for us, who soon returned to us with the message of peace from the captain was now very nervous and had to submit, at which point we began to appreciate the Interpretation of "Bredenuro"—The Bridge of Peace. He had declared to Bishop Brooks, after making several lame excuses, that he would do anything we may suggest, that we may use his parts of the Bible to help, and he would pay damages if required to do so. He have been thrown on Mrs. Brooks. Then we went into council. At this juncture a small but mighty young man, age 12, a Mr Payne, who is customs tailor officer-in-chief of Monrovia, rose up and demanded that whatever terms we requested as passengers should be enforced and insisted that he would see to all of our demands being carried out to the latter, even if it should cost him his life. Waving his hands above his head, he crief, "Wis is Bishop Overat" Who is Bishop Overs, that he should be made an exception over Bishop Brooks and our ladies" With his eye flashing in fur, he struck his first against the rolling, and exclaimed: "Until these ladies and Bishop Brooks will have had the proper consideration. I as customs officer-in-chief, will not allow this ship to leave this port: I will not give you a clearance until this matter will have The Negro World is Read in Every Corner of the Earth.

I will hold you here two days and longer if necessary. You may have gotten away with this kind of thing three hundred years ago, but not so today." Immediately after this demonstration word came that a statateroom was ready for Blush and Mrs. Brooks. We were also advised that the readiness of the party should remain on the promo-deck without being further molested. Then we asked: "What about food?" as it was near supper time. They declared that it would be impossible to serve us as their food supplies were very limited. The law provided that all passengers aboard a ship must be served with food, but under conditions we are willing to pay for food, we said. So they agreed to serve us as they had at hand if they were not. Then they numbered us and began preparations accordingly, assuring us that they would do the best possible. It was 9 o'clock when finally supper was announced. We had buttered bread, two kinds of German sausages, rice, beef, coffee with milk and sugar, and plenty of drinking water, all in an abundance, for which we were charged five shillings each, i.e. $1.20. When we had finished seating all our demands carried out to the letter, the young Mr. Bayan, who stood by to see that our demands were enforced, then handed over the clearance to the captain of cargo and told him that they may now take up anchor. It was a long journey, and the boats had gone ashore, so the captain was forced to have his crew lower a boat and row Mr. Payne and his staff of clerks ashore. Shortly afterward a storm came up, but the captain promptly rushed out of his cabin and informed us that we may have the ladies come into his cabin until the storm was over, which we did and also sent to the port to wait afterward and the rest of the trip was peaceful. How long will it take the spirit of thing? Will we continue to stand by, look on and accept these insults and inflictions with closed lips and let them pass unresented? Do we not see the necessity of giving every available dollar to the support of the Black Star Line?

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS IN NEW YORK CITY DISTINGUISHED VISITORS IN NEW YORK CITY A number of distinguished men of color have visited New York city during the past two weeks. Mr. J. R. Austin of Tacoma, Wash., a consulting, exploring, mining engineer, is visiting New York now. He has written brilliant articles on Economic Geology for the Negro World, organized U. N. L.

Building With Ku Kinz Klan threats and death's heads chalked on the walls of a shed back of the house in which she lived, Gertrude Nicking, colored, forty-three years old, was found murdered yesterday afternoon in the apartment the couple at 44119 Park Avenue. Mrs. Katherine McGuirk, who lives at the same address found the body and notified the police. Dr. K. S. Kenarda, Medical Examiner of the Brox, found that the murdered woman's head had been crushed with a heavy instrument after she had been gagged with a towel and her hands tied behind her. The crime, he said, was committed nearly a week ago. The woman's husband, George Nickens, when last heard of was working at Plainfield, N. J. The couple have been living apart for the last three years. Prior to that time they worked together as cooks and caretakers for fraternity houses connected with New York University, twenty-two, who gives his occupation as porters, boards at 1003 Brock avenue, Bronx. No other Negroes live at the address where the Nickens woman was killed, nor are any Negroes living in that immediate neighborhood. For this reason the detectives give more consideration to the chalked inscriptions on the shed back of the house than they would otherwise. The inscription, written in McGrath, of the Detective Bureau, District Attorney Edward J. Glennon and Captain Carey of the Homicide Bureau. The house where the murder was committed is an old-fashioned structure, once a mansion, but now converted into small suites of rooms. It stands six fifteen feet below the grading of the street, in the centre of a 200-foot plot. There are no buildings near. It was thought at first that robbery was the motive for the creme, but $90 was found upon the body when it was discovered. The various bank books and other belongings main in the rooms. These facts add to the significance of the challenged threat which according to District Attorney Glennan, was written in a mature hand and reafers: "Get out or die. Hu Kui Khan." Just above the written words appears the outline of skull and crossbones.

CIVILIZATION'S CRISIS MODERN society has been for seven years undergoing the most tremendous indictment which it has ever sustained and whether it is to survive in its previous forms, is to materially modified, or is to go the way of the civilizations of antiquity, is still uncertain. The indictment has been ostensibly directed against its political and economic organization, but essentially it is an assault upon the moral and religious fabric of the social order." These pregnant words were delivered by Dr. James Rowland Angell in his first matriculation address as president of Yale University in Woolsey Hall, New Haven, Conn. Beginning with Dr. Timothy Dwight, who presided over the destinies of Yale College in the revolutionary days, the historic school has had many eminent presidents. Dr. Day, Dr. Theodore Dwight Woolsey, a recognized authority in international law; Dr. Neal Porter, an eminent philosopher; Dr. Timothy Dwight, a New Testament Greek scholar; Dr. Arthur Twining Hadley, a political economist, have ably sustained the prestige which the first Timothy Dwight gave to the great school that is the pride of the City of Elms. Dr. James Rowland Angell came to Yale University with a big reputation. He was of New England ancestry. His father was a collegia president. He was the author of a notable book on psychology. He was a successful college president. And he was the capable and efficient director of Carnegie Institute. These things sustained him, he had the required scholarship, force of character and executive and administrative ability to uphold the traditions of the treat school that called him to guide his destinies. But the address from which we have just quoted indicates that Dr. Angell is something more than a university president. It indicates that he is a man of vision and courage, of imagination and prophilic insight. Instead of boasting of the superiority of modern civilization over the Graeco-Roman civilization, Dr. Angell recognizes that not only the political and economic organization, but the moral and religious bases of modern civilization have been challenged by the World War and its aftermath. The modern world has been intoxicated by its mastery and conquest of the forces of nature, by its control of steam and electricity and by its complicated machines and wonderful inventions, by which man has been able to travel over land and sea, erect skyscrapers, tunnel under mountains, bridge chasms, throw suspension bridges across rivers, run underground tubes under river beds, light up cities by electricity, transform steamships into floating palaces, fly in the air like a bird, sail under the water-like a fish, communicate with men across its continent by the telephone and telegraph and with men across the seas by the cable and the wireless telegraph. The Anglo-Saxon has been intoxicated also by the lust of power. He conquered the ancient, Britton, the Irish, the Scotch, the Spanish, the Dutch, the Frenchman, the Russian and the German. He drove the French out of America, practically exterminated the Indian and enslaved the African. And to cap the climax a few million Englishman deputates over half a billion yellow, brown and black men in China, India and Africa. What wonder then that the modern man should believe in his superiority over the ancients and that the Caucasian, and especially the Anglo-Saxon, should feel his superiority over the darker race? But seven years ago last August Kalser Wilhelm of Germany knew to trouble the waters of modern society and shook the world from pole to pole by a struggle which made the clash between Rome and Celtic king-like a sham battle or preliminary skirmish. Then modern society was ruined from its bifasil slumber and self-satisfaction and awoke one fine morning to discover that the results of disease were lurking within it and that its supposed civilization only skin deep and that its Christianity was only an ancient ally, empty pump. The modern world realized that fastest of being perfectly that it was very sick. It was aluride shock, nay it was like from the blue when the modern world realized how far it had from the Sabbion on the Mount and how near it had moved home to so the cave man, who knew no law but his unrestrained and unrestrained passions. Since then, philosophers, psychologists, sociologists and moralists have been busy African, robbing him of his land and subjugating him at the same time. In the Belgian Congo this took the form of inhuman cruelty and in Dutch South Africa of a complete absence of the sense of justice. Then came the World War. Four years ago last winter the Kaiser pressed the English and the French so hard that they hoisted the signals of distress. America meanwhile was vexed at the submarine warfare and the denial of the freedom of the seas. Then she cast her hat into the ring. And Woodrow Wilson's declaration that America was going forth "to make the world safe for democracy" thrilled the world. Several thousand black Americans bowed to the selective draft. And they crossed the seas to fight, bleed and die in order to make, as they supposed, the world safe for democracy. They were denied that democracy which they were trying to save for the white world, for they were segregated in France by higher American officers and were discriminated against by the Y M C A. The Caucasian began to stretch his religion and stretch his conscience when he began to whitewash the sins of commission against men and women of African descent. His conscience finally became so elastic that he whitewashed sins by white men against white men. A man would pile up millions by overworking and underpaying his employees, overcharging his tenants, profiteering on food and clothes, fleeing his business partners, freezing out his competitors by underselling them temporarily (and then rushing up the price when he had the monopoly) and employing skilled corporation lawyers to evade the spirit and the letter of the law. Then the man would endow a school, college or hospital or make a substantial donation to a church or charity and the erstwiler exploiter of labor, profiteer and hard-hearted man would be hailed as a philanthropist and benefactor of mankind. Man stopped asking how a man got his money. They only desired to know how much he had. And when he had made his pile his children could laugh at the conventions of society because they had money. Such was the real state of the world seven years ago. The World war was an eye-opener. It shook the fancied security of modern society and its faith in the stability of the moral and social order to its very foundation. Three years ago the armistice was signed. And the world rejoiced. It was believed that the millennium had come. Then the rise of the Irish, the Hindoo and the Egyptian against British oppression, the protest of the South African against Dutch oppression, the labor troubles in England and the labor troubles and race riots and lynchings in America and the failure of the peace conference taught the modern world that it was sicker than it had imagined. The modern world is in the condition of a man who thought that he only had a bad cold and then suddenly discovered that he was threatened with tuberculosis. It is in the condition of a man who imagined that he only had an attack of acute indigestion and suddenly discovered that he was threatened with Bright's disease of the kidneys or diabetes. But the case is by no means hopeless. When a patient knows that he is sick and when the physician has correctly diagnosed the disease and knows what treatment and remedies to apply he is in a fair shape to get well. The real trouble with modern society is that it has partially lost its faith in the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, the divine origin of man and the immortality of the soul. It was these basic faiths and beliefs which converted pagan Rome to Christianity, broke up slavery, elevated the status of woman and abolished gladiatorial combats in the Roman Empire. It was these basic faiths and beliefs which tamed the unbridled passions and enlarged the intellectual horizon of the rude and fierce barbarian tribes who overflowed the frontiers of Rome and conquered her. It was these basic faiths and beliefs which sustained Martin Luther when he launched the Protestant Reformation and Oliver Cromwell when he led his Ironsides. It was these basic faiths and beliefs which sustained the Pilgrim fathers, crossing the ocean in the Mayflower, and enabled New England puritanism to blossom into the finest culture that the world has witnessed since man fell from grace or evolved from the brute. "Reconstruction in Theology" And we cannot see how modern society and modern civilization can survive without the resurgence of these basic faiths in the soul of man. Teach a man that there is no God, no infinite and eternal power in the universe sympathizing with his ethical struggles and strivings, teach him that his career stops at the grave and that death ends all and his natural reply would be "Let us eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die." The late Dr. George Trumbull Ladd of Yale University said that religion was the psychic uplift of the human race. This does not mean modern civilization should put on a theological and philosophical garb, which modern science and modern psychology have outgrown, but that these basic and fundamental beliefs should be interpreted in the light of modern knowledge regarding the universe and man. The spiritual condition of the modern mind in its helpless perplexity before the speculative and religious problems that come surging before it may be paralleled to the dying Graeco-Roman world and decaying Graeco-Roman civilization when the magnetic presence of the lowly Nazarine cast the spell of its enchantment over His followers. The apostle Paul stood almost alone, one man against the Roman Empire. His inspiring battle cry was "I preach Christ and him crucified." The ideas that he championed finally conquered the Roman Empire. He came to a dying world that was satiated with sinful pleasure, that was weary with life, that had jaded senses and a palled palate, that was tired of sin and wanted some release. He came to men whose earthly life was hard and bitter and held before their imagination the picture of a heaven where the redeemed ones, who had been washed by the blood of the lamb, would forever dwell in joy and joy. Can Paul, whose vigorous heart stirred the feeble pulse of a world that was well nigh spiritually dead, again rekindle the dying ashes of a worn out religious faith? The theological and philosophical setting of Paul's gospel will only partially minister to the needs of the modern mind. We ask no deliverance from religious superstitions, we do not ask "What must I do to be saved?" We do not crave for the beastic vision of the Holy City, whose streets were paved with sapphire stones, whose walls were made of jasper. The answer, "Ye must be born again; believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" does not wholly satisfy us. Not by wholly going back to the theology of the apostle Paul can the modern world be regenerated. The physician who would heal the wounds of the dying, feverish, modern world must present some other nostrum than the belief in a future world, which must be bolstered up by a revealed religion that must be authenticated by historical miracles. He must not only show that God did something in the past and that a divine being walked upon the earth nearly two thousand years ago, but he must also show that we have a here and now present God who interpretates every fibre of the universe, who is the very web and wool of our being and existence. He must show that because the Absolute Mind is present in finite minds as their Immanent source and ground, because we share in the life of the Absolute Life, because as the apostle Paul says, "In Him we live, and mine, and harm our being," because our spiritual, mental and moral life has an abiding and permanent ground in the Absolute Self Continuous Life which is in brush with it all the while, that there UNIA struction of the body, the dissolution of the physical organism and the decay of the brain tissues. The savior the modern world calls for is a man who can harmonize the researches and discoveries in psychology, physics chemistry, geology, biology and astronomy with mankind's instinctive faith in God, freedom and immortality, the man who in Rudolf Lotze's striking words can harmonize "the demands of the intellect with the needs of the heart." Henry L. Stoddard has written a book entitled "The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy." And he has followed it by another book, "The Menace of Islam." The black, brown and yellow worlds are not dissatisfied with white world supremacy because it is white, but because of its assumption of superiority, arrogance and injustice, because of its endeavoring to determine man's civil, political, legal and social status, his educational and economic opportunities by the color of his skin rather than by his worth as a man. If the white world would see in black, brown and yellow men not creatures to be subugated and exploited, but human beings to be developed, human personalities craving spiritual unfolding as well as physical comforts, its world ascendancy will have an indefinite lease. But if the present reign of greed, lust, gain, gold and injustice continues the present Caucasian civilization may go the way of the Ethiopian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian and Graeco-Roman civilizations and out of its ruins a new civilization may emerge W H. F. THERE is something invigorating about this word—a something out of the ordinary realm of human emotions. Placed upon the tongue it has a ready and fetching effect; drawn to the heart it elicits a throb quite unlike anything imagined—except it be the thought of God Himself. There is real depth in the contemplation of mere man, and no one engages in any study of him, or emerges therefrom a more healthy, a more potent being. Who claims to be man makes a mighty claim. He takes a position on earth superior to all and in heaven he is just below the angels. After man there is little else to aspire, for the earth and its fullness were created for his development. Man is King, Man is the nearest approach to God. Man is—I almost said God incarnate—but that Man was Christ. If you are a Man you are all that you can hope to be on earth. Shakespeare was but man; Dryden, Bonaparte, Paul, the Apostle, were no more. After creating Man, God rested, attesting the awful exertion even upon the Creator in bringing him forth. The finest of workmanship, whether of body or whether of soul, is wrapped up in Man. If you are Man, you have a right to walk erect, think nobly, fear nothing. Man is not white, Man is not black, Man is not red, Man is not yellow, Man is not brown. Man is just Man. The color of the skin, the texture of the hair, or the symmetry of build does not represent the man. Behind color, behind stature, behind physiognomy, behind all shadow stands the substance—the Man. You are more soul than you are color; you possessed the image of God before you took the image of race. Do you claim to be Man? Then fell the trees, conquer mysteries, build Empire or die! ROBT. L. POSTON. Correspondence Sir W. H. Ferris K. C. O. N. A. M: Dear Sir—it is with great pleasure that affords me this opportunity of addressing you briefly with these few words of congratulation for the noble work done during the past year as literary editor of The Negro World. I wish to thank you professionally for your invaluable services rendered us in behalf of the organization. Also the esteemed honor conferred on you as knighthood of Ethiopia, and trust that you have faithfully and loyal to the cause until we shall have planted the Red, Black and Green upon the hill tops of our mother land—Africa. EARNEST N. BRIDGES, Third Vice-President, Guantanamo Division, No. 164 September 10, 1921 MR. PROCOPE SAYS HIS NAME WAS SIGNED Editor The Norm World Editor The Negro World Dear Sir, This is to inform you that in the issue of the 10th inst. there appears a letter against the Hevk. Jack of Chapman signed by one A. M. G. Procope. Permit me therefore to declare that I did not send such a letter, nor did give authority to any one to make use of my name. Thanking you very much, I declare to remain. Yours truly, ALEX GORDON PROCOPE. Deloitte, Sept. 14, 1921. MARCUS GARVEY Bil—All me space in your valuable paper. As a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I feel it an obligation as well as a duty to express my feeling of gratitude and thanks to his Excellency the Honorable Marcus Garvey, the leader and founder of this organization, for the inexhaustible spirit which moves him to continue his work. His instructive and far-reaching discourses have disclosed to the Negroes truth that were hidden from them, and it demands of us as a race to hold up his hands. Can Negroes who claim to be intel- MAN ligent glance currently at a movement like this and call it mock play! I adduce in the name of conscience sake to awaken from their state of apathy and indifference and get in line with the Negroes, for this is the time this is the Negroes way, this is the time this is the Negroes way, for there is. Can this great Moses of our be compared with the former leader of Negroes? I acclaim with the conscientious Negroes of the world no. Let us therefore be determined that no powers of earth or hell shall separate us from the U N L A. March on, Marcia Garvey, march on Till with accolations we stand On that vast and expansive domain Of Africa—dear motherland. ROSALIA PHYFER 222 W 140th street BROTHERHOOD OF MAN Prof. W. H. Ferris, Literary Editor, Negro World. 66 West 125th Street, New York City Dear Mr. Editor — Today being the last day of the Second Annual Convention of our people, whereupon many worthy problems have been solved for the benefit of our people by those whom we have selected == delegates and who through their martial courage and representations have so much merited the position of representatives. I beg to tender through the medium of your paper my congratulations for the martial manner in which they have endeavored to determine the legitimate right of universal equality which has been manifested through the strenuous task undertaken and accomplished within these thirty-one days. I have kept in touch with the process and proceedings of the convention and have written courses of the sessions by constant reading of the Negro World and conclude that it is heclean, as also do thousands of members and well-wishers of the U.N.A.I. in this locality. I highly appreciate the step taken by the Hon. Marcus Garvey by entering a protest against the idea of a 'Pan-African Conference to be held in Europe over which allens were to preside and Dr Du Bois its secretary. I have notified the issue of your request to Tithi. There another protest has been tendered against the recruiting of British war veterans by Spain to fight Moors in Morocco. After reading the above resolution, which had been seconded by the Hon Speaker in Convention and carried without a dissenting vote, I feel sure that we are well represented and not a stone was left unturned. Notwithstanding, in spite of all these representations, there are still doubts the minds of our people as to the importance of the debate. Nevertheless, may it please His Excellency, the Potentate, His Excellency, the Hon Marc Garvey and other members of the high Executive Council of the U.N.A. to pursue unfalteringly until we shall have gained our objective. Knowing that we are laying on the sands of time, foundation which will never be destroyed, for it is because we have seen the necessity for the materialization of our people that we have started on such a great venture. I expect that there will be a great change among the high executives of the sessions of this convention but that those men upon whom the lot may fall may ever continue to be faithful with an endeavor of obtaining the object of our aim. I have read with much respect of the resignation of the Chaplain-General, Rev Dr Alexander McGuire, on the ground that he would not be able to devote all his time to the service of the association. My suggestion to the U. N. L. A. is that a Spanish section be prepared in the Negro World so as to facilitate the Cuban element as thousands of Negro aliens are leaving this republic owing to the embarrassed conditions of finance in the country. I am beetle to tender through this medium my heartfelt preciation by congratulating the general-secretary of the Tela division No. 165 for the unique manner in which he unfolds to the public the annual report of his division. In conclusion I say I am, indeed, concerned in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, and I have true confidence in the latter for the achievement of humanity and the ag- grandement of national culture Under such circumstances I request that all Negroes of the world link to- gether so that we may be able to hand down to posterity an African empire Toure for racial uplift. RICHARD A. BENNETT. Central Jaram. Camaguey, Cuba. August 31 1921 WHY NOT BISHOP MeGUIRE To the Editor of the Negro World Sir—owing to different opinions concerning the conservation of our Chaplain-General, Dr McGuire as a bishop in the Church of God, please allow me space in your valuable paper to present my views on the subject. First according to the historic rites and usages of the ancient Catholic church, the laying on hands is the only means whereby the Apolythia-Succession can be obtained; and, as the Christian church, through his bishop has obtained that grace from the historic church of Abyssinia, the coptic and Eastern church traces back to St Mark. As a bishop he will be able to ordain any Negro to the ministry, inasmuch as the laws of the organization calls for ordained chaplains. Also the order of a bishop will bring him in rank befitting to his high office as chaplain-general. Third, I endorse his concession, for he has done his work well in my opinion. He held and increased the attendance of Liberty Hall, New York, for over 60 days during Mr. Garvey's absence in the interior. He inaugurated the new classrooms service at Liberty Hall, sanctioned the formation of a bible class, made two successful trips to Cuba, bringing fruits of benefit to the U N L A. and Negroes all over the world. As a scholar and preacher he has not his pear, a godly and obedient servant of his race in church and State. We hall Dr. McBride the Aaron of our race, and so the Angels. Marcin as "Hero of the Colonies of the world." Yours sincerely, PERCY BRYAN. 290 West 137th Street, New York City. BLACK SKINNED CHICKENS NEWEST SCIENTIFIC FREAK NEW YORK, Oct. 4 (A. P.)—A chicken, black skinned from drummicks to neck, has been developed at the Carnegie institution's experimental evolution station at Cold Spring Harbor, L. The bird popped into the world while scientists were playing put and take with Chromosome—germ, plasma, whose change in number and shape is held responsible by biologists for visual colorings. The dusty chick is not easily distinguishable from an ordinary white-skinned sister, for it is fully clothed in feathers, however, the skin is revealed jet black, warranted not to run.

The male of the Old American species is a somewhat better physical product than the female, according to Dr. Hrildicha, who is connected with the United States National Museum of Washington. His copulation after a study of 2,740 representatives of native American families for at least three generations, were as follows: "The Old Americans are found to be as a class the tallest of all the larger groups of whites now existing. They occupy the mid-position in regard to pigmentation and show the effects of slow progressive darkening. Pure adult humans are rare, as are also pure beards and reds. The head form shows a wide range of variation and the face to rather long and narrow, with a tendency in the well-nourished to a typical oral. The prominence of the cheek bones and the angles of the lower jaw is largely subdued." Protecting faws and teeth are practically non-existent. The body proportions of the men are good, he said, but in women there is a tendency to flatness of the chest. These are the effects which the continent is believed to be producing on all inhabitants. The characteristics are plumped by the country on all classes of Old Americans, regardless of the race from which they originally descended. Geography, climate, food, water and all other features of environment more or less common to Americans are believed in some way to sculpture the average type of face and physique. "On the whole," said Dr. Hrdlich, "the stock, while still far from presenting a uniform type, shows plants advanced to ward such a type in physiognomy, and various other directions, and with some adaptations among the varieties may be characterized as one of the best and strongest of the existing strains of the white race." Rita Fischer, Dessert that the human race was facing a swift discuspt in the scale of civilization, because the better human strains aparently were losing ground, Prof G. V. de Laponis, of the University of Nancy, France said. "The bury has come when man must choose if he will become a demigod or return to the barbarism of antiquities of matamatan." He told that the world was suffering from a shortage of minds far enough to deal with its problems and that there was little hope for a coming generation with a greater sums of this drama. The poor races were threatening the more advanced, and the backward elements of society everywhere were threatening the progenitors together to Do. da Leopure. "The least enriched chase" he said, "the reminder of uncivilized persons on the earth earth, reprinted the chosen one with having created a civilization which multiplies their desire for beyond the possibility of barbarian chase. A great movement has begun under the injurious rages and plagues, and this movement which has the aid of being turned against the willings and against the rich, is turned against the superior intellectual elements and against civilization itself. The war of chase is indoors the war of racism. It is not merely a feature of statistics to speak of a possible victim to barbarian." After drawing a black picture of median conditions in Europe and particularly in France, D. de Laporte conditional: "America, it depends on you, I musty dollars, to save civilization working Public Ledger, Philadelphia This is a big bit of a world in which we find ourselves. It is a journey of 28,000 miles to circle it from east to west. It contains many large masses of land, one of which—Africa—is more than twelve million square miles to extent. Asia is much larger. There are in this whitening magenta more than seventeen hundred million people, of whom over twelve hundred million are colored—black, brown and yellow. Yet about half of the white remainder hold in permanent political subjection more than half of the colored majority, and control in various ways most of the others. The theory by which they justify themselves to themselves is known variously as the Color Lman, the White Man's Burden and Racial Superiority. Against the theory and the situation which it expressed the colored peoples are contending everywhere. A similarity of suffering is producing a similarity of sentiment, which is finding expression in deeds, in spoken words and in print, in the newspapers and magazines published by colored people in Turkestan, China, Japan, India, Egypt, West Africa, Peru, the West India and elsewhere. The colored world is interconnected on the move, and the different portions of that world can profit by each other's experience and catch inspiration and understanding from one another. In order that they may do these things it is absolutely necessary that in any one part they should know what is happening in all the other parts and keep in touch with the various international developments occurring in the international world of IMPORTANT NOTICE MEMBERS OF UN IMPROVEMENT All moneys of the Organizat Bank in the name of the Division ment Association.

We in the United States are a part of this world, and the above is a brief statement of our THEORY of international relations, racially speaking. Now let us drop for a moment to The Practice Let the American reader of color try to answer without consulting a book the following ten questions, all pertaining to the big and significant occurrences and features of the international world of color, and then pray hard, if he believes in praying. 1. What is the difference between the programs and followings of said Zaghuiil Pasha and Adly Yeghen Pasha? Which one is supported by the British—and why? 2. Where, when and why did the National Congress of British West Africa meet, and who were its leaders? 3. Who is General Dyer? What are the Rowitt data, and why have they driven the conservative Indian Nationalists into the arms of the radicals? 4. How many republics are there in China at present? Who is Sun Yat San? Are the policemen in Hongkong Chinese—or what are they? (This is really important and not at all trivial!) 5. General Gouraud had 200,000 French troops in Syria and the Arab hinterland, and the British 100,000 Against what colored general did they fight and why? Gouraud held up the people of Damascus and made them pay ten million francs ransom. Why? 6. What is the name of the white Englishman who was in '1917 'the soul of the Arabian revolution?'

What new Latin-American republic was created within the past two weeks? Where is it situated? 9. What island off Hongkong and Canton is owned by Japan? What lands on the continent of Asia? 10. What countries in West Africa have Jim-cow care? Which in South Africa has segregation laws ten times worse than those of the United States? Inability to answer correctly two-thirds of this questionnaire is absolute proof of ignorance on racial international affairs. And it is a safe bet that more than nine-tenth of our "leaders" and "intellectuals" would fail to answer correctly—unless they first looked up the questions in a book. And even then there would be ground for doubt. Now, since there are thousands of white men who could not answer them offhand, it is a fair conclusion that there in America white men know more about the international world of color than colored men do. And this is our damning disgrace. The difference between our THEORY and our PRACTICE is glaring. What is the answer? I should like to hear from the readers of this section. HERBERT H. HARRISON.

MARCUS GARVEY inted Immediately service in the NO IMPROVEMENT ATION In the treasure house of memory hangs a picture star bright. One that fills the heart with longing, like a tender, sweet refrain. Stapling 'cross the rays that fadds, like a voice out of the night. Dilling me up to wander back again. To the happy home of childhood, to the friends of other days. Just to see once more the faces that time's great events have, and to sing in their homely scenes just as they used to be. Once more the prayers and chidings Bestsing in its quiet shadows when the western sun was low. ♢ Return again, in fancy, to the distant long ago. When the old farm bell was ringing, and the regular gates of morn Swung open wide and welcomed waiting labor to begin. When the bee song in the clover and the crow cawed in the corn. While the sheep's bearded smothers them when the sun, in all his splendor, took his flight across the sky. And with brown hair feet I followed through the waving fields of yze. Where the happy brook ran singing, to its music I kept trend. Just as happy as the brook was, and the birds that sang o'er head. And when driving up the cattle, while the bell swung to and fro. When the harvest days were ending, in the distant long ago. And when autumn, scar, yet golden, like a royal guest, came round. Clad in matchless splendor that no artist can impart; When the fruits of field and labor yielded abundance from the ground. Every day thanksgiving bursted from the heart; For it was a time for gladness, when the crops were in the bin. And the sparkling autumn elder was When the husking-bee was ended, and the evening bee was o'er. In the evening, round the heartside, in those happy days of rorse; Where plain, honest folks once gathered in the back log's ruddy glow. Wove the silver links of friendship, in the distant long ago. When the robin had flown southward, and the wind rove in the vale. And the sparkling autumn elder was When the husking-bee was ended, and the evening bee was o'er. In the evening, round the heartside, in those happy days of rorse; Where plain, honest folks once gathered in the back log's ruddy glow. Wove the silver links of friendship, in the distant long ago. Times has changed the title of creature, and things never will seem the same. As in hallow days back yonder, for the time for parting came; To put by our rustic fancies, and to grip the pulse of life. And keep the heartbeat to its drumbeat, in the battle-drum and strife. Carried in its mighty current, with its caesareas oob and flow. Of the year again for childhood and the distant long ago. But where are all those happy families that once peopled the old home? Like the trumpet birds forming their old home, they've flown away. For, in quest of fame, some have over gone to roam. While in the churchyard others sleeping lay. Tis an oft-repeated story, one round which our memories cling; It holds charm for every life, from peasantry to king; Whether in humble walks of life, or guiding "Ship of State." What over the influence of that house, some have over gone to roam. Let us cherish this old picture, keep the canvas all aglow— A dear green spot in memory, the distant long ago. GREENLEAF B.

There are millions now who join the cry, The echo of which has reached the sky; And millions more are getting in line, Vailled in the light of the cause sublime; Numbers in the Universal Fault, Telling the story the Voice had begun; Owward! onward! till the goal is winn; Nothing doubting nothing to dismay; Damages the millions stride day by day; Advance advance! their voices pro- claim; Views with reference her famous times!

JOSEPH HAZEL DONALDSON Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa, September 3, 1931. TO THE ETHIOPIAN SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF CHICAGO O Windy City, fare-the-wall! I've left the Black Belt's sone; I stole away—you will not care— You never heard my mean That poverty and Ephraim's woes Heaped on the heart of me; But God looked down and, merciful, My suffering heart set free. O never shall my soul forget The weeping, outcast slaves. Mine eyes shall watch with him 'till dawn. Suffuses hand and wave. And I shall haunt the Black Belt's sone With memory for guilds. And when the winds of winter blow, I'll walk by Ephraim's side; I'll feel the singing winds that chill His ill-could, shirving frame; I'll fast to feel his suffering That's caused by hanger's pain. While I am in the land of sum, The happy, Golden West. How can I joy while misery Claps captives to her breast? But bark ye slavel the frowning air In winter time, and poverty. Will make you do and dare! 'Ta wind that chills and hand that Which dresses sleeping slaves To drastic measures that will build An Empire 'or the waves; Ahl those who walk in paths of ease Will never free their race! The outcast sieve that seeks A better, safer place. *3. Empire there, an eminent bride. Across the briny sea Shall emulate from hardy habits That struggled to be tree. Smilic sore and daughter all, Of Windsor city fame. Who turn out to Africa Where you might win a fame, Oppression's corpse is growing cold, And sons its glare sky Shall lose Goliath's evil hold Because you chose to dare I felt you where I humbly drielt With your. Beloved race. That in the future I might serve You with a better grace. Then Michigan sends up a sigh From the hills where I walked with you All for the captive's sake. How I endured the siring slaves That I might close be To soiluring slaves whose dreams have Built Ad Emirie Oce the Sea, and I will pass your troubled cry through the waves. When guiding mine upward, give me Hes not the grass alone, ETHELIA TREW DUPLAN! O. EPIRMA RETURN AGAIN Give the one who was the one. Votes from Artie's school. Votes to me, to me, to me. Are they have copied their copy. Over the sea, over the sea, Nature girds back a retrain; Closes to him, closes to me. O Ephraim again. Over the sea, over the sea, The smell streams over the wave— Look, I can see, lock, I can see, The home of the free and the brave! Over the sea, over the sea, The spray by the African shore. Falls light on me, lightly on me Where I would tide overmore. Over the sea, over the sea Africa lies like a shell— Fair sea can be, fair as can be, Humming that all is well. Over the sea, over the sea If soul and body might part. Captives set free, captives set free, Would dwell in the land of their heart. THE LESSON I have learned a bitter lesson. Yet sweet it seems to me. That joy is of deep sorrow born. And smiles of misery; That clouds but hide the sunshine— We know 'tis always there. Though we sometimes doubt, and may so. When trials are hard to bear. I've learned to know the sun's warmth, And love the smallest rays; For, if I trust, the sunshine Will brighten the darkest days And tears, like sunken showers, Predict a rainbow sight; So I shed them and dry them, Then smile up at the sky. Tomorrow's storm may dampen, But I shall not complain. For soon will come the sunshine To dry me off again— Today may be your dark day, But the clouds will surely break, And if you you've buoyant hearted, You'll find, they're not opaque. There's always the silver lining Brightly gleaming through, And if you look in earnest Twilight sparkle and gleam for you. Burnt yourself for a moment, Most likely on another's woes; You're be imagined—who knows? Just smile, through your heart be sching: You'll find your cares will fade. Learn to find strength in troubles, And sin will be dismayed. The longer you nurses disappointment, The longer twill keep you sad, And as soon as you look at life rightly, You'll find they good in all bad. Life is full of pitfalls. We cannot pass them by; We'll find them sooner or later. No matter which path we try. Each one has a separate journey, Though the end must be the same, Nor can anyone travel for us Or take our joys or shame. No matter how joyous and carefree The path you choose may be, Bountiful share of sorrow, Is near, though you will miss We might as well start out smiling, And determined to win the prize. It's bliss unalloyed and pleasure At the end for him who tries. ORGANIZES NEGRO GRAND OPERA COMPANY (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. Sept. 17. H. Lawrence Freeman, one of the greatest of the musical composers with which race abound, has concluded a 20-year self-imposed task of writing a series of grand opera. Further, he has taken the necessary steps to have them presented to the music-loving public. The Negro Grand Opera Company has been incorporated with H. Lawrence Freeman as president, Carolita Freeman as vice-president and Valdíia Freeman as general manager. Capital has been costumed solemnly designed...and the costuming arranged for. The first of the series, "The Marty," has been cast and rehearsals are under way. The piece is in two acts with scenes laid in Egypt.

In addition, there are quartets, ants, slave, and a ballet. Following close upon the opening of the "The Marty," the "Trophonies" a one-act opera will be presented. Mr. J. Prenzlauer a other works, each of which will be produced by the sorrowful, arce "Vilalo" in music and with subtle imbuement in woods. Mr. three acts, also with sorrowful imbuement in woods, will be performed by Mr. Morkenwey and woods. ```markdown ``` (By the Associated Maple Press) "Opportunity" is a fascinating term in America title. The use of it at once attracts attention. All of us like to be told of the secret minutes of the press and posthumously. So when a master mind like Judge Elbert E. Gary, who represents business failures and is himself an outstanding example, full of a full meaning of the word, when such a full meaning of the world hits, added significance is often present when in the midst of what is said for use in American everyday life, the speaker throws in a multitude of vital opinions on the subject of Labor, on which he is an unquestioned authority, equal to that of the subject of Capital. The recent address of Judge Gary at Syracuse University is an unquestioned claim under the general subject of "Opportunity." I am sure that many of you saw examples of it in the public print. I wish that every American might read every line of it. In fact, for the beauty of its easy and simple language it might be used in the life and college, along with living. Emma Holmes, to say nothing of the fine informative and inspirational thoughts. It is manifestly impossible to quote at length in an article of this kind, but I must give two or three quotations. Listen to this: "There is an expression too frequently used, that the world owe each individual a living, and occasionally it is foolishly sought to support the claim that all men are treated fairly and equally. But every fundamental law or rule of conduct relating to this subject means no more and no less than the right of equal protection and opportunity. Every person who constantly recognizes this fact and acts accordingly is entitled to equal protection or herself and all others; and every one who disputes and disregards it antagonizes and attacks the general community, including himself or herself, and is an obstruction to civilized progress." Another is this: "The door of opportunity for legitimate business is opened to both capital and labor, and it is not for the private. Neither should be permitted in abuse it." And this final quotation: And this main question: "Equality of opportunity is the keynote to national and individual success and contentment. This idea, I believe, is supported doctrines of our present administration, when the President throughout the year mental structure and will be intelligence, and faithfulness applied. Therefore we have reason to look forward with confidence, expecting increasing prominence in all directions as the month pass by." All of the address is replete with such fine epitomatic statements and advice. To us as a group in the great American nation this address is fraught with significance. Much of our future destiny is largely wrapped up in the labor world, in the interests represented by Judge Gary. The attitude of mind of the head of a great organization like the United States Steel Corporation is of great importance to us. Is this talk of opportunity merely lip service? I can faithfully attest that it is not. I NOT Reduction in Price of Hear Marcus Garvoy and the FOR AGENTS PURCHASING Agents in the U. S.

The true living God may be alive, as we mortals may think, but the Great Architects of the Universe moves in a mysterious way His wonder to perform, and His way is supreme and always right, no matter what we may think. I am not a colored man, but I am an better than one. One God, one Creator. A Chianman, an Indian, an African or Eskimo are all my brothers and sisters. My religion is brotherly love. I only wish I were in a position to stain the poor colored races of the world, and I only wish I were in a position to their poor brothers have more than their share of hardships to bear in this world. By this I mean the colored races of the world are discriminated against too much and life for them is very disgraceable and hard. Why, even the educated colored element of the darker races are discriminated against, and I for one wish I have one thousand people among my colored brothers and sisters. God help them to bear their lot and in good time change things for the better. This is a mighty nidow to live in, but the sanctimonious hypocrites calling themselves Christians are not Christians at all, for if they were they would not discriminate. One God, one Great Architect, He made all races. My previous article, published in your abah page, was about the English man and the Darker Races, has done much good.

CHICAGO NEGROES PREPARE FOR KU KLUX KLAN Least Spark Might Set Off Bad Race Riot," Says the Assistant Attorney in Chicago—Mine Workers Take Action — National Union Will Expel Any Member Who Joins Klan — Six Texas Judges Order Inquiries OHICAGO. Oct. 4.—A Negro uprising is threatened as a result of organization of the Ku Klux Klan, says John V. Clinpin. Dwt assistant United States Attorney, He said today the government is asking that the Negroes are he added: The Negroes are all worked up by the reports that the Klansman are after them. The situation is tense and the least spark might set off a bad race riot. Mr. Clinton said the mail was glutted with mysterious packages addressed to Megrae in Chicago's "black belt." He balked the packages contained firearms. He went on: "We don't know that the Klan has proven any law. In fact, we have investigated here in Chicago for a long time and have been unable to find where the Klan has violated the law. But the spirit of the organization is wrong. A. Deadly influenza "Whether the Klan is lawabiding or not, it is in my opinion, an influence that is likely to be disastrous in stirring up religious and racial haired." Chicago is credited with approximately 10,000 Klansmen. No attempt has been made to hold a parade here, although it has been reported plans for one being framed. A spectacular paramilitary was held one midnight four weeks ago on the outskirts of Chicago, when 1,000 candidates were initiated. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 4—Any member of the United Workers of America who joins the Kru Klansman will be expelled from the union, under the terms of an amending to the constitution adopted this afternoon at the convention. SAN ABTONIO, Tex. Oct. 4—Grand jurist in all Texas counties have been charged by presiding judges to go deeply into activities of the Ku Klux Klan. In the charges to the several grand jurists the presiding judges have asked that 6 more rigid investigation be made. Judge Kare of Sharman, Judge Denton of Parte, Judge Leahle at Sweetwater, Judge Warren at Tyler, Judge Hammill at Austin, and Judge McDowell of Document are those who so have asked Ku Klux Klan investigations. There will be no parade by masked Kif Klin in San Antonio. This was the plain statement today of Chief of Police Mursey and of Sheriff Tohin, as a result of the shooting last Saturday night near Wach of Sheriff Kruchanan, when he and two deputies attempted to halt a parade of masked marchers. The warnings of Mursey and Tohin were made in answer to rumors that a parade of Kruchanan might be attempted. ARE YOU A COWARD? Are you a coward? Rather an imperious question, you suggest? Yes, on its face it is. Also a rather serious one. It usually has a tendency to lead to imprudent consequences. All on us remember that in our school, the suggestion that a boy was awarded mount night, and slam Lany- lord, style, at that lit dinner and talk afterward. And most boys never grew away from that hollow. he added traitorousness to cowardice and said his country. and sold his country. James. Buchanan's duty was clear when he was in the presidential chair. Failing to perform it, he let his country gift without protest into the throes of a death struggle. "How admirably do the mentally courageous stand out in comparison. Think of Washington and Lincoln and Grant and Dewey, and realize into what insignificant ashes such figures as Arnold and Buchanan turn. The vision stimulates emulation. What is true in community affairs is usually true in material matters. We are unfortunately situated in regard to material things are unruly victims of their mental cowardiness. It follows, as a corollary, that, given the same intelligence, the person who is not fortunately situated in material things is a mental coward. Now, then, are "you" a mental coward? "If you have reached that age at which couroughe men usually have acquired a reasonable competency, or more, and you have to go over the acclimatization to go over the acclimatization with yourself and see what you have permitted to be charged against you on the debt side." And my observation leads me to remark—and this is about the place to do it—that there is no neutral ground in this field of cowardice and courage. You must be on one side or the other. You cannot be a mixture of both. Therefore, if you are not courageous in your business affairs, if your material circumstances have not reached the stage to entitle you to be enrolled among those brave souls, these courageous knights who bear oak the banner of industrial and financial success, you are a oward, and you are a oward whether or not you are willing to admit it. If you are a mental coward—if you are a business afraid—you are your own worst enemy, and you should set about at ones to become friendly with yourself. If you should do that you become acquainted with them on a friend's behalf—may that you will find yourself growing into a pretty good fellow, competent for honourable, courageous activity. It is rarely too late to do good—to late to improve. "Don't be a mental coward. Cowards never get anywhere." The men who pushed forward on the pioneer lines in this country were not cowards. The men who built the great railroads into the wilderness in anticipation of reward from industries yet to be were not cowards. The men who built the cities, who established the great industrial enterprises, who founded gigantic financial institutions were not cowards. And the men who could not participate directly but who intrusted their money as investments with the men who were on the string lines of these affaires were not cowards. They were courageous titans who saw clearly, judged wisely, and acted well. All were rewarded accordingly. All of them today are the result of this courage. These families are now furnishing much of the financial blood in the body of still greater American industrial progress. These hundreds of thousands of courageous builders did not always win. They did not always see the end clearly. Now and then they failed in an enterprise. But did that stop them? Did they lie down and wall about their luck? No! Failure but intensified their passion for success. Mistakes but taught them to avoid making them again. And with their wider experience and vision they redoubled their efforts and won in greater measure than if they had not made mistakes. "They were not afraid. They were not cowards." Every industrial enterprise of today and its beginning in the courageous activity of the one who conceived its possibilities and strove to make the concept real. These tremendous affactions of today did not fall like the mantra of the tarahis, in finished form into the hands of their founders. No! They are the result of courageous activity, of well planned and completely executed enterprise. "And the founders of these grandiose industries and businesses could not have done what they did had there not been others of equal courage who saw keenly and acted courageously in investing money with which to build into actualities the conceptions of the founders." "From an idea in the brain of Stephenson to the present network of railways that covers the land surface of the globe, bringing practically every little back country-hamlet in touch with the world, is a long stretch. It required courage and money to go that distance." "From Fulton's little steamboat on the Hudson river to the craft that cloaked the earth, ply the inland waters in a higher step. It was not taken by cowards, either in doing or failing." "From Edison grouping in a little laboratory to the world illuminated and its committee which turned by a new power in an industrial span too great for the comprehension of the ordinary mind. It required courage to accomplish all this." "From patterning with an idea in a country, shuttle shop, to supplying the world with its harvesting machinery, is another step, that would cause towards to make were they asked to help make it. From an anecdote involving the trans- mission of thought to the actual in- hibiting delivery or the message on the opposite side of the globe, involving the mailing of an industrial company emitting emissions of thousands of workers and hundreds of pollutants capital was a step that required cover name.

TO TEST RIGHT OF BIBLE IN SCHOOLS The Supreme Court of the United States will be asked to determine whether the Bible can be excluded legally from the public schools, according to a statement recently issued, purporting to come from leaders of the Presbyterian Church in this city who have headed a movement among various denominations to bring a test case. An opinion of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington will be the basis of an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, it is said. This opinion is to the effect that the Bible is a "sectarian book" and that it is unconstitutional to read or teach it in the State schools. The contemplated action is said to have had its inception in the Synod of Washington of the Presbyterian Church. The argument will be based on the Declaration of Independence, the Presbyterians claiming the Declaration is a covenant between the American nation and God, and that the study of the Bible by American children is essential to an understanding of the covenant and to full knowledge of God. In the presentment preparatory to the appeal, it is argued that no State has a right to exclude from its system of education "instruction in the science of religion as set forth in the Bible, the only book which sets forth the existence, laws and other attributes of the Divine Providence to which the Declaration of Independence is committed, without this exclusion being repugnant to the Declaration and therefore void." The presentment declares that within a few years after prohibiting the Bible from the Washington State required the keen foreseeal of courageous souls. This has been the work of many workers. Some conceived the idea, some planned boldly others invested courageously. All took a chance. All were optimists. All were rewarded according to their activity. And the world received the benefit of more com forts and greater convenience. "Those who did these things were the few—the courageous." "The others? Oh. they were the cowards, who stood by curing their luck and enjoying the others." "That's all! Are you a coward? Now that your chance has come are you afraid? Do you ist your widon become blurred by the thought that possibly if you take a chance you may lose a few dollars? That thought is the whipping post to which most persons are lashed, and it is hard for them to break away. They are, in fact, afraid to break away from it. They cliling to it as the savages, in their ignorance, cling to a fetish. "They are cowards." "Every business venture whether by oneself or with others in corporate or well founded chance, if the venture well founded and well organized and well managed, the chance is so small that it is not worth considering. Were we not to take that chance we would not have any business enterprises. The world would go back to barbarian and them stand still. "The courageous take that chance. The cowards do not." "The courageous may lose once in a while, but they win so often that they become rich and the bearers slof of our civilization. "The cowards neither win or lose. They stand still. They go down to death in a humble cottage or the poor house. "Who wants to be a coward? "Ask yourself sincerely, fellow men, if you are one. If you find you are won't you take my solicitous advice that you should try to reform?" "African Another name for opportunity," as John Hayes Hammond, the world's celebrated mining engineer says, "has more opportunities today than ever on every hand. Select yours. There is no reason why you should go down to death in a humble cottage or in the poor house. There is wealth enough for all waiting to be developed and distributed." 818-18, 1521.

Wash. public schools "it became necessary to create juvenile courts, jail and correctional institutions, and so great was the demand for their use that good people of town and city began to make efforts to supply Bible teaching and moral training to the youth attending State schools and colleges, and were knocking at the back doors of their schools to which the law required their children committed for education, seeking for the recognition of Bible instruction." Inquiry among Presbyterian ministers of New York last evening revealed none who had heard of the reported movement, or of any intention to bring the Washington decision before the Supreme Court. "The meeting of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions was held reeliness Henry Sloane Coffin of the Madison Avenue Church and no mention was made of the matter. I do not think there has been any other meeting of leading Presbyterians here recently. This is the first I have heard of the purported action." —New York World. IS GARVEYISM FEASIBLE? It is at ted that Marcus Garvey must answer the questions. First, is an African empire a feasible, workable plan? Second, is the "Black Star Line" feasible? Under the first proposition, as proof of its non-facility, Mr Randolph quotes an authority which denotes that the whole of Africa, 11-500,000 square miles 170,000,000 population, is divided between seven European powers. Here Mr. Randolph concludes that the land claimed in Africa, the ordinary question to ask is How does one expect to build an empire? Marcus Garvey doubtless would reply that "1774 approximately 6,000,000 square miles were divided up between six European powers, and yet the handful of colonists, handicapped not only by lack of funds or by lack of facilities, succeeded in conquering forces of the great British Empire and established the republic of the United States of America. Now, if a handful of colonists could withstand the avarice of the great British Empire and on the European nations a century ago, Mr Garvey would ask, 'Why cannot 200,000,000 Africans in Africa and upon the islands of the sea be directed along the lines of action that would bring about the establishment of an independent government of considerable magnitude on the African continent?' Certainly, from the standpoint of their place there would be no question as to the possibility of such a plan exceeding Moreover, the consciousness of the universality of the Ethiopian peoples and their realization of their ability to attack the Ethiopians attained which tends to give them such faith in the program as outlined by Marcus Garvey and denominated Garveyism as to make them willing to try. 1. As to the second proposition, Mr Randolph states that "the Black Star Line" is nebulous and visionary, immanentable and impossible of successful operation because the shipping interest is controlled by great shipping corporations, thereby excluding all competitors. That shipping lines are operating at a loss and such a program would inevitably meet with financial ruin. 2. The statement that big shipping interests would strangle competition in the form of "the Black Star Line" is only an admission that the plan as proposed in the problem is a valuable commercial field, otherwise the big shipping corporations would never be induced to enter into competition with "the Black Star Line". It is a fact that there is no direct shipping line between the United States and the African continent. 3. As to the second proposition, but the name is against all known economic principles, especially in view of the fact that we most naturally assume that the labor cost is minimized. The cost of transporting is taxed to the employer, the article, and there is no reason to believe but what all the elements entering into the taking of the article to the ultimate consumer would entail any greater cost than is true of any other article produced in any other place. Garveyism is feasible, and the very weakness of the attack upon it by men of admitted ability is a fair indication that it has few effects.

NEGLECTS GREAT OPPORTUNITY New School of Pharmacy Shows Conditions Here We Need More Schools for the People The neglect of education on the part of colored people in Washington is due to their poor pay and to the feeling that the social and economic condition will not be allowed through it. That is misleading and the establishment of the New Washington College of Pharmacy by the colored druggists is but one step in the right direction. The cost of education in our one great school, Howard University, has operated not to attach the people to it. There is no good reason why Howard should not operate extension courses for the benefit of the people of this city except perhaps that the Board of Trustees is asleep or that the president of the university is not in touch with the problems of his clientele. When Howard University has a colored man at its head, not only Washington, but the nation, will feel the effects of a great city of learning that is growing.

If nothing but water is put into a bottle you certainly cannot expect anything but water to come out. If nothing but lies are put into any one it makes him a gifted tar. In Pitch-Fork Smith's case it is natural born, and the stuff he has tried to put in to public sentiment is as dangerous to the peace and harmony of the races of any government as a cancer of the heart. He said. The Negro remained a beast for six thousand years and did not learn to cook his meat, and had never done anything that was worth recording and now wants a place at the Council Board of the white man civilization. He should have said the Negro was the author of civilization and nothing worth recording have been accomplished by the white race without the aid of the Negro, and he must have a place at the Council Board of the white man's civilization. That would have made Pitch-Fork Smith an honorable man in the sight of the civilized world instead of a man of low degree. The Negro was the first in literature, art, science and music. Every body, both black and white that have known the Negro for any period of time, long or short, know that Pitch-Fork Smith lied out of reason During the dark days of slavery the Negro proved himself equal to every task to which he was assigned, and since the dawn of freedom he has proven himself a hero on every battlefield to make the world safe for Democracy. In the World War it was the two million Negro soldiers that changed the Kaiser's mind, and thus saved France, England and the United States from a further stroke of his cruel hand. Fly-time may come again Pitch-Fork Smith, and your cow will need her tail beyond a reasonable doubt. You will remember that next time and give the Negro credit for the good in the world he has done As to the Tulsa riot, the Negroes and the Northern white people were not to blame. It was the poor Southern white trash that had drifted in and out of the city, and part) as had been their custom Louisiana.

Howard influence has spread despite the challenges of leadership. There are so few Negro universities that Howard has been advantageously invited to give some needed training, but it has not in recent years been before the nation or the colored people as it might have, should have and may by reason of its power and position. If I were Marcus Garvey I would imitate the Ku Klux Klan and buy Howard University with the funds of the U. K. L. A. No greater move towards the realization of the mission with a million dollar endowment. Howard could train Negroes for diversified leadership in all fields of endeavor, and that is what is needed. Not until some sure plan is worked out will men teach with that enthusiasm and will students be inspired and enthused to take up a life of leadership as they must if the Negro is to become a major force in the nation. This is to be a crucial year at Howard.

Everyone knows that civilization had its birth on the Nile in Ethiopia and descended into Egypt and from Egypt to Athens, from Athens to Rome, from Rome all over Europe and the rest of the world.

HAITIAN INVESTIGATION HAITIAN INVESTIGATION By H. M. WESD. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8—"Failure of the United States Government to present some well defined plan for the rehabilitation of Haiti in 1918 when it had been thoroughly pacified by the Marines and was as quiet as a graveyard, has led to the present revolutionary condition which has been called the 'compensation.' This was the charge made by Roger L. Farnham, vice-president of the National City Bank of New York, an institution regarded by the Haitians as directly responsible for the troubles that led up to the military invasion and occupation of their country by the United States. Following Mr. Farnham there came to the witness stand the Reverend L. B. Bonnet, a Baptist missionary in Haiti. He not only confirmed the charge made by Mr. Farnham, but added: "The charges of drunkenness, cruelty and brutality toward the natives, which have brought shame and disgrace on the American Navy, are primarily due to the conduct of General William Walla, the commander of the Gendarmeric; Major Walla, who commanded a district in the north, and Captain Brown, who commanded the Marines at St. Mar, and the officers and men of their command. Seeing the example set by them, they used to maintain discipline, those in authority under them resorted to the most cruel and barbarous means to their exercise of power. General Williams was sympathetic with drunkenness, and when Colonel Russell issued his prohibition order Williams, who was often the type laughed at it and went on drinking just as before. The Haitians are naturally a peaceful, agricultural people. They are kind and hospitable, cleanly in their habits, but of a primitive type of civilization. They are not of a revolutionary type, and if let alone by white men would live a peaceful life. They are constantly being stirred to revolutionary activity by designing foreigners, principally Germans, who lend them the skills to run a political party, and who reap greater profits from these loans than from the legitimate trade interests that take them to the island. "When the American commercial interests began to invest in Haiti in 1919 the Germans, fearing commercial loss, set up a powerful propaganda, teaching the Haitian that the Americans were coming to steal their land. The Germans had been smart enough," Mr. Evans pointed out, "to keep strictly out of Haitian politics, leaving all the Germans did was to finance the party fights, which they constantly hooted, and reap 20 per cent profits from the loans they made. Nor did the Germans try to force any change in the land, because from cunning the land. Instead they married or lived with Haitian women, and thus won control of the land held by their wives or mistresses. "When the Americans came they committed the two monumental blunders of forcing at the point of the bayonet the illegal adoption of a new constitution containing a clause permitting the sale of land to alla. This was the result of the influence by American companies of hundreds of thousands of acres of the richest lands in Haiti. "The American Marines then instituted the corvice, which was actual physical slavery. The prophecies of the Germans had come true. The Americans had stolen their lands and reduced them to slavery. This was the cause of the bitter warfare waged against the occupation." The fact was brought out in both the testimony of Mr. Farnham and Mr. Evans that the cause of the landing of the American Marines was not disturbances by the Haitians, but the fact of the doctrine by landing her forces in Haiti to protect her interests there against Germany, which was using her large interests in Haiti as a base for operations against France and England in the West Indies. Although we were not on the side of the Allies for two years after, it became necessary at that time to either act in the interests of France or also permit her continued violation of the Monroe doctrine, so the troops were landed. Even then, it was pointed out that troops from Port-Prince until more than six months after our troops were landed. The impression that has been created that the reason for the American invasion of Haiti was disorders on the part of the Haitians themselves and debts seem, in view of this testimony, to have been a cloak for the real cause, which was forced on America by France as a result of the war in Europe. Mr. Faraham and Mr. Erwin agreed that, prior to the occupation and the institution of the enforced labor in defence of the Haitian law of the curve, a white man could travel alone in the remotest parts of the country and most desirable territory. The Haitian lives in moral fear of being reduced again to slavery by the white man. The tradition of the four hundred years of the colonial occupation by white men, said Mr. Erwin, was the two-thirds of the horrors of the war for freedom in the colonies. sequesters the mules all white. The stump feet of the occupation, in talking, his hands, and seizing the people, added to the fact that after he was reduced to impiance nothing was done for education, agriculture or his eco-zone, and he taught him to hate as well as fear the enemy." was Mr. Erving, "conclusion." Mr. Warham emphatically said, "Washington, and Washington alone, is responsible for the present situation. Officers of the occupation wrote, and I personally went to the Secretary of State in Washington in 1918, imploring that some policy of rehabilitation out of work as a result of the war andcession of their European trade and though disarmed they were bitter against the occupation and were escaping from the coerce (which was continued by many Marine officers in the north in spite of the official orders of the government) to institutions every day. If a national policy of education, business enterprise and civic reconstruction had been adopted even than peace was possible. But through the refusal of Washington in 1918 to even consider these subjects the situation is worse now in Haiti than it was before we went in. He was imprisoned even as abuses of the natives. Mr. Evans, who was imprisoned at St. Maro by Captain Brown of the Marines (Mr. Evans asserted that his imprisonment was the result of a conspiracy by the three Marine officers, Williams, Welts and Brown, because he had protested against their constant drunkenness and the instances of abuses. He said that man imprisoned and worked on the roads were taken out without food in the morning, worked all day and given no food at night and were beaten insistent because they demanded food at night. He charged the cause of the "siture to give them food was due to the fact that they gave no orders for food supplies for them. Mr. Evans cited the case of a Haitian who was beaten to death by Captain Brown in a drunken fury. He said he saw the man as he was brought in on a litter, on his stomach with his back mangled to a jelly, and said he made a complaint to the man who told him that Captain Brown had beaten the man in a drunken frenzy. Mr. Evans also cited many cases when he had seen natives roped together and driven in ganges about the river. He said he and permitted to return to their homes their arms were reduced to a mass of shapeless flesh from the ropes by which they were tied together—that this disablement brought release from the river. Beginning next Tuesday navy officers will go on the stand. BLACKS NOT INFERIOR SAYS BELGIAN That the black race is not innately inferior to the white, but has been retarded in development because of inferior environment, in the thesis of a writer in the liberal Brussels paper, "Independance Belge." He cities American statistics in support of his claims. This article was published just after the Pan-African Congress in Brussels. "We should be quite wrong in thinking that the Negro race is inevitably an inferior race. In the United States, the black population is according to the nation and where they have been benefited from civilization, they have risen almost to the level of the whites and their efforts in the intellectual domain have been quite remarkable. The figures that we have before us are plausible, but according to the latest statistics, the percentage of illiterates among the Negroes of the United States which in 1883 was ninety per cent is today not more than twenty per cent. The public school count two million little Negroes and the colleges and high schools are attended by hundred thousand colored both sexes. In 1867 there were only 699 colored masters; today there are more than forty thousand. 'fact that shows the intellectual standing of the United States in the amount of contributions raised in 1830 for the construction of nine hundred schools for blacks; from the State $490,000; donations from white people $200,000; donations from colored people $644,000; donations from a black man created by the Jew, Jesse Rosseau, of Chicago. "This very extraordinary case in the intellectual field is much the same in the economic domain. At the time of the abolition of slavery the colored man was one of the few people in the United States $900,000 firms are exploited by blacks. Besides this the census of 1910 showed more than $5,200 blacks employed in lucrative business, and 28 insurance companies and 78 banks have fortune in the United States is valued at five billion rushes. "We must take care not to establish a parallel with certain European nations, in particular with Russia, in order to prevent the Nazi regime and to remember that the Negro is not an inferior brother, as some people pretend, and that as soon as he has been freed from the Nazi regime to our intellectual level."—Atlantic City Press.

SAN JOSE, CA BRIAN MARINO, BRIAN GARRISON, BRIAN 64 978-320-8222 NEW YORK CITY (Second of a series of articles) In the last article the duties of the nurse to the medical or sick community were classified as threefold: First—Those which you owe to yourself. Second—Those which you owe to the physician under whose direction you work. Third—Such as relate immediately to the patient. First—it may at first glance seem somewhat strange to assert that your own personal duties should take precedence, but a little reflection will show that whatever theories of self-devotion you may entertain, and howover willing you may be to sacrifice your own comfort to the welfare of your patient, dirregard to the duties to yourself will soon or later incapacitate you for the fulfilment of all others. You may give up your convenience, your pleasure—in fact, as a nurse in active practice you must be able to take an invitable claim of the work you have chosen—but your health you have no right to risk. It is well to bear in mind that self-sacrifice is not always unselflessness and that the nurse who takes the best care of her own health will be able to care for her patient, only defends its object; directed solely to be really and permanently efficient, you will take fains not to lower the standard of your own physical condition. Even a nurse is but human. You cannot retain your vigor and consequent unselflessness without a due allowance of food and exercise. It is your duty to secure these and to take proper time for the care of your own person and for meals when in active service. You owe it to yourself also and to the whole nursing staffroom to enforce a suitable regard for your reputation and for the dignity of your position. You owe it to yourself your priority and deocrum on your own part will rarely fail to command respect. Second—To the doctor under whose direction you work the first duty is that of obedience—absolute dignity to his orders, even if the necessity of prescribed measure is not apparent to him. You must be careful that of faithfully carrying out directions received. It is true that nearly all orders are conditional and that circumstances may occasionally arise which would render literal adherence to the plan of treatment indicated uselessly for an intelligent understanding of the case, on the part of the nurse. However, only the most positive and evident reasons justify any departure from his instructions. In a hospital, where a medical attendant is always dope prevail, and implicit, unquestioning obedience must be the first law for the nurse, as for the soldier. In private practice there is more room for the exercise of judgment, but a good doctor must be able to explain what seems to her best, but what it seems to her the doctor will best approve. Whatever may be your own private opinion of the course pursued, you will by concretely carrying out your instructions give it every chance to express an unfavorable criticism upon it. Loyalty to the doctor includes encouragement of the patient's faith in him so long as he is in charge of the case. The imagination is so active in disease that to infuse doubt and disgrace, the doctor must strive all hope of doing him good. The nurse is a connecting link between the doctor and patient responsible to the one and for the other, and can do much to promote good feeling between them. Between the doctor and nurse there should be most perfect accord; let him always find you ready to second his opinion. You must own. You owe to him the utmost candor and truthfulness. Nothing should induce you to pervert or conceal from the doctor anything bearing upon the case, and if you should be so unfortunate by chance as to make a mistake in carrying out the order he bestows, you must normally edge, and by that means do what you can to rectify it. Professional etiquette requires that the nurse should rise when the doctors enters the sick room and remain calm. You should make your report, answering the questions and saying that he is furnished with every fact that he is likely to need, leave the room and give the patient a chance to see him alone, unless you have special instruction to the nurse. You should also anticipate for yourself also an opportunity for private speech. Third, to your patient you owe attention to whatever can affect his health and comfort. You must be ever on your toes and anticipate the many personal wants. These will vary so very much in different cases that a few directions can be laid down beyond the general ones for constant watchfulness and tidiness. It is by no means the greatest sunfires who give the most troubles or make the heaviest demands on the nurse. NEWPORT NEWS VA. September 18—The meeting last Wednesday evening, September 14, was a success in many respects. Rev. Suzette, our president, was greatly aided by our religious leader and chaplain, Mr. Robertson. On our first meeting night in our new home, the Odd Fellows Hall, on 3rd street, Mr. Robertson, with a stirring deep down into the dimest recesses of, every silly heart and take away everything that aimed to hinder for success the interest and work of the U. N. L. A. and A. G. L. This prayer, like a current, seemed to have touched a heart under the influence of its sound. The ardent workers of this organization advanced the idea that everybody should become a booster. We are at a stage now where boosting of the right kind is very much in need. Since company leaders are often pressured to pass through a period of propaganda; then, why should we hesitate, those of us who are dearous of seeing the U. N. I. A. reach the highest place attainable, refuse to band every effort possible to boost? The decoration of our office is an unanticipated ushantastic worker, Mr. S. D. Bartlett. He purposely intends to spread "The Red, the Green and the Black" all over the place. Mr. Bartlett spoke at length upon the U. N. I. A. constitution. He advocated a strong belief that every employee should be a lawman, a law and by-law. Mr. Crowder, a visitor who became one of us before leaving the meeting, brought quite forbly before us the fact that Negroes throughout the world are outnumbering other races and this trumor is still going on. Negroes whites everywhere. Many helpful remarks were gotten from Mr. Crowder's talk. He has promised our active support and we feel satisfied over the idea that he has become one of us. Man of many talents, he is expecting some tangible results as a booster from our brother Crowder. The evening edition of the Times Herald, white daily here, had printed an article headened "Orion reported sold to Black Star Company." The thing that started the Negro here was that the German steamship Princess Oakier, is one of the largest vessels laid up at Camp Eustin. Now, almost every colored person you meet upon the street of Newport Nova has a Rosevelt smile on, and saying what look at the things that surprised our white brother were to have it thrust upon his resisting natural belief that the Negro had nerve, brain, money and the audacity to purchase such a ship right under their defenseless maze, among them. The white man has not gotten the surprise yet, that is duret hirst, please just wait. He, as most of us down here know, is of the opinion that the Negro is absolutely dead; an unknown in the general schema of adjectives of the sort of thing; this he parachuted with thanksgiving: eats it up completely. Yes, some day he will awake from the state of ignorance, from the effect of something in the nature of a spontaneous combustion in the midst of a fire, going to upset his appetite but is going to play the dwell in general with the entire Anglo Saxon race. Mr. J. H. Ridge, our vice-president, said the report of the Orion as an addition to the report of the Blind Man, to do much to enhance the truthfulness of the mission of the U. M. I. A. Sunh things of a tangible nature are going to be the tools with which we aim to use in our boosting the mission of New York under the tital influence of "One God, One Alm, One Destiny," we hope to make division 163 in the estimation of the people of Newport News one of the most organizations on this particular N.

SWEEPS THE WEST Dr. J. W. Eason, American, leader of Negroes, stirred Cleveland with his沾染ance on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. October 11 and 12. Huge mass meeting were held in the Cleveland division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. "Exactly at 2 p. m., the scheduled time for the opening of the meeting. His Excellency, the American Leader, in his robes of splendor, marched into the apacious and magnificent Liberty Hall of Cleveland. Along with him were Mr. Wesley MacDonald Holder, the appointed ex-secretary of the division, and Mr. J. Simpson ex-secretary of Cincinnati. His Excellency approached the door he was met by the choir, the Black Cross Nurses and the Legion, which company formed a wonderful train. As the procession started up the aisle so the rostrum, the band of the division pealed forth in strains of pleasing melodies, which not only enveloped the air and moved the audience by the harmonious sounds, but made the band a danger rival to that of the Black Star Line. The choir has to be congratulated also for the wonderful selections which it contributed to the program on the two evenings, and the talented soloists in the persons of Mina. Gertrude M. Davis, the lady president, and Mime P. D. Cochran, general secretary of the ladies' division. In these two ladies we have the voices of Meadam Kinger, Robinson and Houston. Also tendered in fine style was a cornet dressed by Mrs. Christians Little, little vice-president, and Mrs. Pickens, an intelligent worker of the division. famong the other auxiliaries that distinguished themselves were the Black Cross, Nurse, in whose carriages was the seasol look of preparedness for the time when they will be in the great plains of Africa attending their Allen brothers, and the Legiona under the able leadership of Colonel Horny, whose auxiliaries acquitted themselves handsomely, for which they must be compelled, the military discipline examined during the entire meeting was second to none. With the president of the division, Mr. Sheedrick Williams in the chair, the meeting was opened by the ode, the Greenlandia 'Icy Mountain' Kolumna 'Kolumna' by the chaplain, Ier. H. M. Jackson. The first item on the program was the welcome address, by the president, which was very inspiring and the introduction of His Excellency, the American Leader, and the excercised, Messrs. Simpson and Holder, to the audience at the close of which the chair rendered in fine style a selection; this was followed by a recitation by Miss. Evill. The next speaker of the evening was Mr. W. MacDonald Holder. His subject was: "The U. N. I. A.-Negroes." Following him was Mr. W. J. Simpson, with the three Ms. for his subject: Mann, Message, and Money. This speaker received many applause at the close of his address. Just at this part of the program the Mr. gun, His Excellency, the American leader, came out, and for every ten minutes he uttered his speech was interrupted by loud applause. He insisted the usual skill in holding the audience. On Wednesday evening the American president replied, what he did on the previous evening, and in this case, it was apparently seen that he possessed the intellectual regularities of political territory. He went forth with the corporeal case of a Gladstone, and in some instances stumbled in the plain of a Magnolia. The language of The Excellence was merely, understood, bokee, easily followed, and he not only convinced the evidence of the aim of the U. N. I. A. but his bounded thruit, he not only thruit the aim, but joued, thruit minda, and gave feelings to prejudice and action to feelings. For the next part of the program the ex-secretary, Mr. W. MacDonald Holder, was inducted into office, at the close of which the members of the division petitioned His Excellency, the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, to allow His Excellency, the American Leader, Hon. J W. H. Pason, to remain in Cleveland for at least four months. The meeting was closed by the singing of the National Anthem and a prayer by the channel. Respectively submitted W. MACDONALD HOLDER HON. GEORGE D. CREESE AND RICHARD RILEY, D. L. N. C., TAKE THE TORONTO DIVISION BY STORM I desire to inform the new Negroes of the U' N L A. and A. C L. of the happenings of the Toronto division. As was scheduled in a recent letter from His Honor, George D. Creese, High Commissioner for the U' N L A. in Canada, the Toronto division had the pleasure of extending a royal welcome to him and his colleague, Hon. Richard Riley, of the new Aberdeen division on Sunday, October 4. At 4:30 p. m. the hall was taxed to capacity with an enthused audience, all with eager and longing faces anxiously awaiting the message from His Excellency, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, which was subsequently delivered with very glowing and masterly style by these great and noble sons of Africa. The consensus of opinion was: "Never men spake like these men." None other than the Hon. Marcus Garvey was needed to administer the soothing bath to this semi-morbid sister branch save these two princes of the new Ethiopian Republic. Matters of very technical character that might have baffled the skill of the most eminent diplomats were very harmoniously adjusted by them, and it is with regret that their sojourn in the "Queen City" could not be prolonged. However, the names of the Hon. George D. Creese and the Hon. Richard Riley will forever glitter as an impermissible monument in the lives of the Negroes of this city of brotherly affection. The unveiling of the grand and noble charter, which took place on Thursday evening, October 6, marked an epoch in the annals of the division's history, and the sacred emblem of true African greatness and democracy presented a rather sublime appearance. Great thanks must indeed be offered His Excellency the Hon. Marina Gayvay, for the appointment of His Honour, the High, Commissioner George D. Crosco to the Dominion of Canada; for these long exploited treasurers of Africa have now seen through his great elucidations of the principles of Garvayism the true meaning of the slogan, "Africa for the Africans, at Home and Abroad." Sir, "Will these buddies, gems of Ethiopia ever reach the meridian of their ancient glories once more," is the question now at issue. Doubtless they will when this reorganization has resuscitated the primitive spirit which permeated every heart and mind at the outset when His Excellent the Hon. Marina Garvay, first raised his voice in the atmosphere and declared, "Africa must be." The labors of their honors, the commissioner and Richard Lille, need marked recognition by the members of the High Executive Council, for they have placed the Toronto division once more in the category of the foremost branches of the Canadian division. During their sojourn in the city of Toronto ogy evening witnessed the scene of some very beautiful entertainment at our local Liberty Hall. We are highly indebted to the following among other members, who contributed to the success of each entertainment: Mr. Arthur Holder, address of welcome; A. B. Shephard, address of welcome; D. W. Moore, address; W. Walkers (ex-president), address; Arthur H. James, a paper; Miss B. Hudd, a paper; Mr. Fortune, address; Miss Dahney, piano sol; Miss D. Kelso, piano sol; Mr. King piano sol; Mr. Garey, saxophone sol; the band, selection; Mr. Brown, clarinet sol; the band, Tommy Brown sol. On Tuesday night the principal feature of their Holiday, the Commu-lion and Richard Riley, such addresses need to be placed on record for future reference. They kept their audiences spitbound for the spaces of two and a half times some of the most important facts about the nation's history almost unkind of before were portrayed as long! The donors and members of the Toronto division wish the KKM Commissioners and the colleague long life and success in the great and noble cause, and they are ever ready to welcome (with open arms these loyal sons of Ottawa) Toronto Division II, P. L. A. Hempter. of the division. The president, Mr Job J. James, called the meeting, to eddie about 6 p.m., and in a neat speech was told enough to claim that, judging from the program he had in his hand, the audience were in for a big time. He was an optimist, he said, and hoped to make August 18, 1922, a red letter day for the division and the island if he were spared by the Divine hand. He paid a tribute to the President General and, his inspiring individuality and appealed to all the friends who had not yet decided to come with us to do so at once. Then followed a vocal solo by the secretary of the ladies' division, Miss J. Fealing. A recitation, "Knocking the Garvey Movement," was then recited by little Miss Lewis in very creditable fashion. A song by Mr. Hilton Welch caused a good deal of amusement. Mr Daniela, a native of St. Lucia, but a member of the Panama prosape, helped the singer with the lyrics and gave real live wire speech. He is full of zeal for the N L A. and one insists the fire of his soul when he in short full sentences elucidates on the wartiness and completeness of the grand best musical items of the eventing. Miss Alfred's "Alice, Where Art Thou" and a trit, "Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming." by Messas. Desir and Dupre and Miss Alfred. Mr. A. B. Charles, a sympathizer and admirer of the movement, then treated us to a speech in which he spoke of the need for the movement and the reasons for keeping close to the U N L A. no matter what sectional difficulties may be encountered. He regarded Mr. Garvey as being possessed of a master mind and we should follow the working of a master mind and would be mind of a song by Mr T. B. Price, a cousin of Mr Hudson Price of the parent body, entitled "On the 7 18 I Met My Fate," followed by a song by Miss Brown, "Have a Heart." The chairman of the Advisory Board, Mr. R. C. Martin, then spoke of the convention which had been assembled during the month and the vastness of the attendance and the importance of the work undertaken by the vast concourse of delegates. Mr. Ray, an "Old New Negro" contributed a song, "How Do You Like My Blue, My Long Tail Blue" which threw the audience into fits of laughter. Then came the classic oratory event of the evening. Mr. Ryan of Union took the floor and in a speech which gave evidence of continual delving in the historical tomes of ancient times gave us a resume of the Carthaginian people and how they failed to be victorious against their enemies because of lack of unit. So long as they were united and long as the spirit of self-murder permeated them, so long were they thieves, and the moral for us was to keep the enemy from harm. U. N. A. in St. Lucia is assumed. Mr. Ryan is a born orator and with the knowledge gained by continual reading of the various masters is an ornament to our division. Mr. Julian Theobald contributed a violin solo and Mr Marcus A. Wilson moved the vote of thanks, and an enjoyable evening came to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian and British national anthems. The funnels contributed several instructive and amusing items. MARCUS WILSON, Reporter. SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION NO. 148 OF THE U. N. L. A. & A. C. L September 28, 1921. Editor The Negro World. 56 West 135th Street, New York. Dear Sir--Being a member of the N. U. L. A. and agent for The Negro World, I beg for space in the most valuable Negro paper published, to make the members of one of the most wonderful Negro organizations in the world acquainted with a divine from Boston beckoning after notoriety and expecting to find it in attacking our President General and the whole movement. On September 28 we had with us Dr. Moore of Boston, a Baptist minister, who spoke in a club of which I am a member, called the Better Men's Club. In his discourse the dopt mentioned the name of the Hon. Marous Garvey, and among other things stated how worried he was that Garvey was teaching Negroes to hate white folks. It seems to me that this anti-Garveyite propaganda has been well rehearsed in the East and found to take, because every body that you meet from the East who is not a member seems to repeat the same chorus about the Hon. Marcus Garvey teaching Negroes to hate white people. The learned doctor also spoke of the fight between Spain and Morocco. He said that Spain is sending ship lords of recruits and ammunitions to fight Morocco, why does not Garvey send men over there? If all Negroes were going around talking 2-but the movement as he is doing there would not have been a Negro with spirit enough to fight for his brother in case of a Kik Elux right here. The doctor thinks that we have forgotten East St. Louis, Chicago, Washington and Omaha. The U. N. L. A. with its mouth-piece. The Negro World, is fighting our battles right now. Africa can be redeemed from within or from without. Few months ago it was Capt. Congo, today it is Morocco. Can the doctor read between the lines, "After the U. N. L. A. has entered Africa as an organization the redemption of Africa will be at hand." tribes of Africa, to assist in the development of independent, more nations and communities; to establish commissionaries or agencies, in the principal countries and cities of the world for the representation and protection of all Negroes, trespassive of nationality; to promote a conscientious spiritual worship among the native tribes of Africa; to establish universities, colleges academies and schools for the racial education and culture of the people; to conduct a world-wide commercial and industrial intercourse for the good of the people; to work for better conditions in all Negro communities. Soc. 4 A charter may be issued to seven or more citizens of any community whose intelligence is such as to bring them within respect. recognition of the educated and cultured of such a community, provided there is no chartered division in such a community. WHEELER SHEPPARD, Official Representative of the Negro With one aim, one God, one deity, I deem it my bounden duty to summon you, particularly those who are prevaricating, to come together and fall into line with our Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League—the only asylum for our safety against all future oppression on our race. As your duly elected leader, I cannot stand by and see all other races weaker than the 400,000,000 African migrants in our midst for the further exploitation of our motherland—Africa—without some determined effort on our part to make good our just right to treat them as trespassers. With the slogan "Africa for the Africans," we fought side by side with the Allies to wrench the 910,150 square miles of territory of our motherland—Africa—from the Germans, and we are fully resolved to demand its restoration as by right of the equal treatment mooted out to France in Togo, in the Cameroons, in Mesopotamia, in Palestine, in Arabia and in the Pacific Archipelago, and even to Japan. It has been kept from us these many hunts, and we did not allow the treatment of "might is right," but as our oppressors have assured us that instead of 400,000,000, we number 000,000,000 strong against their 500,000,000, the majority ruling, the title must be reversed. Therefore fall into the fold of the lawful claimants of this crooked deal at once and buy your shares in the Black Star Line Corporation, the Negro Factories' Corporation and the Liberian Liberty Construction Loan, and subscribe to our powerful mouthpiece—"The Negro World." By doing this you would greatly assist in the amelioration of our condition and the speedy demission of our other landlord ATMs. We would also ship these mills to meet more ships in order that we might have commercial intercourse with our brethren across the sea.

IN WESTERN PAPER To the White People of Fort Wayne, Indiana To the Editor of the News: Be it distinctly understood that this article is to certify that I, Wheeler Sheppard; official representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, have been duly authorized and commissioned by the body of New York to enlighten the Fort Wayne public as to the true motives, designs, objects, aims and doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In order, therefore, to accomplish this, 250 "dodgur" were published and given a wide circulation about your city, in which I cordially and freely invited the Fort Wayne public (both black and white alike), stating also the nature of my presence and mission to your city. But, in order to block my two week's campaigning in your city, your colored citizens did, without any just cause or reason whatever, flatly refuse to give ear to the moral truth of the Universal, and, as you see, they have made their indifference to reason distinctly understood by denying the members of the local division of the U N I A. to use their public churches or halls in which I may expound the true Universal doctrine to large gatherings. It is here, then, easy to see, my good white people, where your colored population is unjustly and downrightly prejudiced against the truth as well as their own personal and racial interest and welfare, and, since the colored people are hotly opposed to give ear to the true doctrine of the Universal, I will here, in conclusion, kindly request the fair-minded white public of Fort Wayne to discontinue to give credit to these false U. N. I. A. doctrines that really have no state of existence whatever, but only in the heated and prejudiced minds of black boys and slanderera, who, by the bye, are, as I have proven, too narrow and absurd oven to give an official representative of the association a square and fair hearing. The surest and quickest way they could have heard the truth of the association would have been by giving me a hearing. A people of sense and argument are over ready to give a recognised authority a hearing, but a fool won't. As I am denied the right to a large place, my present meetings are being held nightly at the U. N. I. A. Hall, 1815 Hannah and Wallace. Here, then, in brief, are the fundamental principles as laid down in the (preamble) and section 8 (objects) of the association Preamble The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League is a social, friendly, humanitarian, charitable, educational, institutional, constructive and expansive society, and is founded by persons desiring to the utmost to work for the general upfit of the Negro peoples of the world. And the members plodge themselves to do all in their power to conserve the rights of their noble race and to respect the rights of all mankind, believing always in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. The motto of the organization is: "One God! One Aim! One Destination!" Therefore, let justice be done to all mankind, realizing that if the strong oppressors the weak confusion and discontent will ever mark the path of man, but with love, faith and charity towards all, the reign of peace and plenty will be heralded into the world and the generation of men shall be called blessed. Sec. 3. The objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League shall be: To establish a universal confronterity among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love; to recaim the fall; to administer to and assist the needy; to assist in civilizing the backward Official Representative of the Negro Improvement Association. HIS EXCELLENCY, JOHN SIDNEY DE BOURG SENDS FORTH HIS GREETING Fellow-citizens of Africa, scattered in the several islands of the Western Province of the West Indies and in the Caribbean, America under my leadership, Greetings: I now take the present opportunity of warning you all against attending any church services pretended to be carried on and established under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, and rendering same any financial assistance unless conducted in our own Liberty Halls and by one of our duly elected chapels of the association. You most humble and devoted servant. JOHN SYDNEY DE BOURG. Leader of the Western Province of the West Indies and of Central and South America. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` On Sunday, September 23, 1921, the first anniversary of the formation of Moron division was held in Liberty Hall, which was handsomely decorated in the colors of the red, the black and the green.

Rehesar Constructivo y Acelón Pará la Raza—Queremos Estadistas Conelenzudos y Directores Determinados— Como Pueblo Debemos Unirnos en Todas Partes— La, Raza Quilere, un Napoleón, un Wellington, un Garibaldi, un Mirabeau, un Pitt, un Gladstone, un Bismarck Concludadanos de las Razas, Salud: La hora de acción y pensar constructivo ha llegado. Hemos laborado en la selva de agitación, peticiones y jíudos sin beneficios por muchas décadas y nada hemos adquirido. Las distintas organizaciones que hemos formato durante los últimos cincuenta años, nada han hecho sino celebrar reuniones, dar y recibir conferencias, y enviar peticiones, todo sin ninguno resultado beneficios. LA, ASOCIACIÓN PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA, cansada ya de los métodos del pasado, esid determinada a iniciar un programa nuevo; el programa de resultados eficaces. Algunos preguntan, ¿ porqué LA ASOCIACIÓN UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA no ha protestado de tal y de cual, y porqué no ha enviado telegramas al Presidente de la nación, protestado del linchamiento? ¿ Porqué no ha solicitado conferencias con senadores y representantes, sobre el problema de injusticia para con nuestra raza? ¿ Porqué quiere usted que se haga esto, cuando otras organizaciones lo han hecho por espacio de veinte años sin resultado alguno? Ha llegado el tiempo de que cesemos el "caminar por los tejados" dando a otros oportunidad para que se burlen de nosotros. Pequeños grupos individuales, luchando entre si, pueden solamente representarse ellos mismos y realizar muy poco, en el interés de una gran raza esparcida por la nación y por el universo entero. Si la situación es tal que afecta a la raza en general, entonces debemos unirnos para adquirir un cambio de condiciones. Es inutil que diez, clen o mil individuos de un grupo de cuatro cientos millones se asocien y digan: "Nosotros sólos podemos hacer esto, por consigulente, conferenciaremos con representantes y senadores, telegrafiaremos al Presidente, y por este medio conseguiremos el que cesen las injusticias cometidas para con la raza." LA ASOCIACIÓN UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA tiene un plan mas eficaz. Nuestro propósito es el de organizar la raza solidamente; tenor Negros en el Norte, en el Sur, en el Este y en el Oeste, no solamente de America, sino del mundo entero con una determinación, la de libertarse y librar el gran continente de Africa, el que por derecho nos portenece. Cuando hagamos una demanda, no seremos usados porque nuestra determinación estará protejida una la fuerza financiera, educativa, industrial y fisica de la raza entera. Esta es nuestra respuesta a aquellos que nos pregunten porque no enviamos peticiones, y celebramos conferencias, y mandamos telegramas al Presidente. No tenemos ni debemos tener tiempo que perder. Algunos miembros de nuestra raza que se proclaman directores hacen mas daño intervintendo y complicando nuestros asuntos, que el bien que pudieran hacer se usaran sentido común en esta cuestión. Tomemos la exposición del Ku Klux Klan por ejemplo. Por años y años el Negro finido ultrajado por el Ku Klux Klan. Nadie dijo nada; nadie levantó la voz de protesta lo suficientemente fuerte para que el país exterminara esta amenaza nacional. ¿Y porque? Simplemente porque el Negro era el perjudicado. El Klan fue organizada para destruir "el común imaginario del Negro". Si hubiera sido solamente con ese proposito, nadie hubiera dicho nada sobre el Ku Klux Klan. Earn cuando se trató de atacar Judios, Católicos y otras raza, fue tiempo para que los grandes diarios y estadistas expulseran, esta gran amenaza, y requirieran del Presidente y del Congreso una inmediata determinación. Nuestros directores no saben cuando deben y cuando no deben intervenir. Ellos lo complican todo, y algunos lo hacen porque simplemente desean notoriedad; quieren que todo el mundo lea en la prensid el que fulan y sutano visitaron el Presidente, y el que sutano y mengano puviieron en el Congreso y visitaron a ciertos Representantes. Por el beneficio de esta notoriedad la raza entera debe sufrir. Está en la clase de directores que hemos tenido por espacio de cincuenta años. Nosotros queremos estadistas concienzudos; hombres que no sacrifiquen el inertes de la raza por su propio capricho, sino que estudlen la ilusión de cera, y se muevan solamente cuando se visitar para el interesar de la raza en general. y nactonalidad. Debemos recorder que estamos oprimidos por nuestro escaso desarrollo económico y político. No se nos darán nuestros deréchos ni seremos respetados, hasta que generalmente no mejoremos nuestro estado actual. Tenemos que constituirnos en comunidades de hombres y mujeres progresistas, y realizar las grandes ideas de imperio. Porqué no puede la raza dar al mundo, particularmente en estos tiempos, estadistas del tipo de Napoleón, Duque de Wellington, Garibaldi, Mirabeau, Pitt, Gladstone, Bismarck y Washington? Cada raza y cada nación presenta de vez en cuando un estadista que viene luego a ser el salvador de dicha raza o nación. Cuanto tiempo hemos de esperar por tales estadistas? Cuanto tiempo hemos de esperar por tales directores? No hemos sido beneficiados por las lecciones de la civilización? No hemos experimentado los grandes ejemplos de la historia? Entonces, porqué esperar por otra década mas? Porqué esperar por otro siglo para hacer lo que podemos hacer ahora? Despertad, miembros de nuestra raza y tengamos nuestro Napoleón, nuestro Washington, nuestro Bismarck, nuestro Garibaldi. Podemos tener estos hombres ahora, si sepultáramos nuestro individualismo; si nos olvidáramos de nuestra insularidad; si dijéramos," Ha llegado la hora de unimos y constituirnos en un solo cuerpo. Los grandes talentos nunca mueren; viven por siempre.. Añón hoy cantamos los himnos de los inmortales; hombres que han pasado de este estado humano de acción veinte, diez, cinco siglos ha, sus recuerdos están hoy tan frescos como si hubiesen pasado ayer. ¿Por qué? Por sus grandes hechos, no solo para su propio beneficio, sino para el de su raza, para el de su nación. LA ASOCIACIÓN UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA, a la cual todos y cada uno debemos pertenecer, está determinada a ayudarnos en el camino de nuestro destino; una nueva historia ha de escribirse y en esa historia hemos de ver transcritos los hechos y exploraciones de nuestros estadistas, de nuestros servidores y de nuestros filosofos, por medio de cuya luz y dirección, marcharemos hacia el camino de libertad y de paz eterna. Algunos Datos Biograficos de Nuestro Honorable Presidente Algunos Datos Biograficos de Nuestro Honorable Presidente Por MAURICE DEKOBRA EL MOISES DE LA RAZA NEGRA MR. MARCUS GARVEY. Mientras saborebamos suprepticamente excelentes cocktails más delicados au cause de la prohibición, uno de mis amigos neoyorkinos me dijo. —Quireir u usted esta tarde a la ciudad negra? Acabo de saber que cinco mil caballeros de color se reunirán en el Liberty Hall, para celebrar un mitin monstruo en honor de Marcus Garvey. Será muy interesante. —Marcus Garvey, dje. —Quien ea es ilustre desconocido? —Callese usted, desgraciado No ojo james hablar en Europa del Moises de la raza negra, del profeta de la raza oprimida, del presidente de la Liga de las Comunidades africanas v de la Asociación para el mejoramento de la raza negra, de su Excelencias Marcus Garvey, primer Magistradg de la futura República negra de la Africa, director del Negro World (El Mundo Negro), el más poderoso periodico negro del mundo? Y como yo diese señales de la más vía curiosidad, mi amigo tuvo a bien inmcarae. Y así supe que un nuevo Booker Washington habia nacio entre los negros, un hombre extraordinario que en su fuerte personalidad sintetiza el deseo de emancipaciór. de sus hermanos y que nutre su espiritu fertil con los más vastos y grandiosos designios. Marcus Garvey nació en Jamaica. Tipografo en un principio, estableció en Londres y allí frecuentó a Mohamed Elfendić el defensor de la independencia ejepicia; vinjó luégo por Alemania, Francia y Oriente y se consagro de preferencia al estudio ede la etnografía. En 1912 fue a Nueva York, donde confió su proyectos colosales a un negro notable quien lo disuidó de entregarse por más tiempo a una propaganda itil; mas no por eso se desanimó Garvey sino que modificó su programa y preparabase a recomenzar a apostolado cuando estallo la guerra su europaea. La parte que los negros tomaron en el gran conflitto lo incitó a pensar que los negros desmovilizados volverian a sus hogares con nuevas y más clarias ideas sobre el derecho de los pobres a escoger su destino. Pero alecionado por su primera experiencia. Garvey resolvió estudiar de más cerca el estado y la condición de los negros americanos antes de predicar en público su nuevo evangelio. Se da baja en de que estaba en Nueva York, en el bajro negro más prospério del mundo y recorrió las revelaciones del Miniatrol. Interior americano, quien en 1917 decidó: + Ninguna razza se adapta; mejor la blanjas como la negra, la cránea viva con más de diez millones de repersemantez en los Estados Unidos. Dénde, que se encanpantan, fincien cintiñen años, el número de mutilas焦纳a descendida del 10 al 30%. Actualmente, un million de interna arranque de diernas y -250,000, pretéritarios de más de veinte millones de agres cultivados THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY: OCTOBER 22, 1921 En el Sur hay 50,000 negros que ejercen las profesiones más varadas, tales como las de notario, médico, banquero, etc. Se cuentan 5,000 escuelas y colegios negros frecuentidos por un million ochecientos mil negritos y 45,000 tempos donde oran cuatro millones y medio de negros. Finalmente, durante la guerra los negros comparron bonos la defensa nacional por valor de doscientos cincuenta millones de dólares." Naturalmente las ideas de Garvey suscatan desde el principio la más viva oposición entre los conductores del mundo negro americano. Sus principales adversarios fueron y son todavía el doctor Moton, director del Instituto negro de Tuskegee, y los miembros del clero negro. Mas a pesar de esa viva oposición, Marcus Garvey preparo su campaña. Comprendido que para imponerse al espiritu de sus congenes le importaba ante todo hacerse conocer, e intrigado en ese sentido. Comenzo por convertir a una docena de negros infuentes a fundo el Negro World, organo de defensa de los intereses de la raza negra, que ahora alcanza un tiro de mas de 50,000 ejemplares, esforzose por probar a sus hermanos que representaban en el mundo una población de 400 millones y que tenían tanto derecho a su independencia como los blancos a amarilos; fundo también la compañía de navigación Black Star (la Estreia Negra), que presta sus servicios entre principales puertos negros de la America, Africa y las Indias Occidentales; en suma, desafió abiertamente a los demas conductores negros declarando publicamente que ellos representaban los tiempos nefandos de la esclavitud, en que "el negro lamia aun las botas del blanco." Marcus Garvey es un poderoso visionario, como todos los apos toles, y su version de los acontecimientos históricos no carece de sabor, como vería . . . Según él, los ejecipios, los griegos y los fenicientes tomaron a civilización de los negros. "Hoy está probado, dice, que Jesucristo erá negro . . . Desde la guerra de Secesión, los negros han sido educados en la creencia de que debian ser siempre inferiores a los blancos y eso no es así. El clero negro fue el que ofrecido la más viva resistencia a las ideas de Garvey y se comprende, dadas las ideas del profeta sobre el cristianismo. Según el, la religión de los hombres blancos no conviene a los negros, porque se necesita mir my bestia para creer en un dios blanco, en un mes blanco y en un parálo blanco con angeles y arceangelas blancos. . . . La tesla de Garvey consiste en ofrecer a los de su raza una religión negra, en un creador modelado a su imagen, de decir, en dios negro. Con todo, Garvey continú su aportado imiterritorio. Las autoridades tédales la vigilaron de certe, imputadas con su tenfa; más las persecucciones ambidextras de una objeto, no hicieron aliorse tarde una aurícula de marte que la gancho muchas prosefilos. Pues entonces cuando ingrandan la Black Star Line, con capital de diez millones de dólares enteramente sucrito por negros. Una dia, cierto fantasía inviado frenética en un cincia e biza fuego sobre el. Amuevariariamente hierido, el profeza apareció aquella tarde ante los autores de un mitin politico y el cine como un semiód. Ya estaba sanctificado su programa con su propria sangre y no se necesitaba más para que trunfara. Dábame mi amigo todos estos detalles a tiempo que nos dirigamos a la calle 138, es decir a plena ciudad negra. Mas cuando se deuda de la cudad negra de Nueva York no hay que imagarse un barrio sordido donde los negros habitan enchas de paja. El barrio negro, por el contrario, haria honor a cualquier ciudad europea, con sus altas casas semejantes a las de la sexta Avenda y sus amplias calles surcadas por autos y transvias. Lo imque que diferencia este distrito de los demas, que en el no se encuentran sino negros. Y hay entre ellos millones que poseen autos de lujo, que se visten a la última moda y viven en palacios provistos de una numerosa servidumbre. — Hé ahl el Liberty Hall, me dice mi amigo hocardo par el auto ante un gran edificio guardado por arantes de policías negros. Entranos. Mi amigo cambia algunas palabras con uno de los organizadores del mutil, el cual muy cortesime nos presenta a Marcus Garvey que presidia, imponente, sobre el estrado Dione las gracias por haber vendo desde Europa a seguir sus esfuerzos y nos hizo entrar a su derecha, sobre el estrado De pronto, levantose el Presidente para conceder la palabra a "Su Excelencia Marcus Garvey, presidente provisional del Imperio Negro en Africa . . . " Todo el mundo se pone de pie y estalla una estrindente aclamación. Garvey es un hombre gordo, de Podemna decir que la colonia por tortirquia en New York no tiene representación legal, jurídica de caracter social colectivo Tal paire que los portorriquias vamos obedeciendo a las leyes de la desintegration éntica e idiosincrática que disemina y esparce las particulas de pueblos y humanidades por todas partes del mundo, sin que legue el momento posible, que de acuerdo con otras leyes más sabias, el organismo social vuelva a mirse obedeciendo al cor formismo biológico que rige como salvaguardia atávica v conservativa la especie human desde los tiempos prehistóricos Tal es la verdad. Somos una colonia disseminada, espirigada, ignorada o olvidado. Vivimos del momento, de la impresión del minuto. No se hace patria. No se crea una personalidad. No se le da caracter a nuestros movimientos como collectividad reconecida y respetada por todos los organismos sociales culturales, hispanoamericanos que se agitan en esta gran urbe, poque no hemos querido asistir a ese gran movimiento de hermandia y fraternidad ibero-americana que hoy más que nunca tiene a consolidar los lazos espirituales y morales del continente hispanoamericano Hoy se levanta con fines altamente elevados y altruistas "El Cub de Cabrorojenos" No porterrquelio. Podran ser socios de este club, según la Sec. III del Art. I del reglamento de dicho cuerpo "todo cabrorojeno residente en New York o cities limitrofes." "El Club de Caborrojefos" tiêm de a estrechar los lazos de fraternidad entre sus miembros, prestarle ayuda financiera en caso de enfermedad, accidente o muerte, y proporciónarias medios para su desarrollo intelectual y físico, según reza la See. II del Art. I. Eatos fines tan elevados, de una nobleza de viejo abolengo, queriendo conservar la inmaculada santidad de una comunidad, se desenvuelven dentro de un horizonte limítado, estrecho. Por qué los miembros de "El Club de Caborrojefos" no quieren ser miembros del gran "Club Portorquíefo", "que se levante a impulso de todo el屡伯 Boricua que convive en New York? Debemos un miembro en la gran hermandad patria. Fusionarunos en un solo cuerpo. Esa es la ley imperative de la lógica y de la razón. Obedecen a ella. "El Club Cabrojeforo" pueda borrar los limites fronterizos que ha trazado en sus estatutos y phoclarar el ideal paráto como comoide acion y la humanidad comoide cristiano, formando "El ClubPortoríquefo" que tan-necearioes en estos tiempos en que podemosaproglomos el "w. wandering Jew",unilocado en los judíos y entenaclos llamados "wandering" Porto: Ri crinos pungiduqo, cabellos expos, labios enormes y: mirada extraordinarmente vigra y penetrante. Hala um ingles may académico y oyolende me he convencido de que no ignora cuerdas alguma de la retorica. En realizad es un gran orador que sabe, con ante consumado, gamar el corazón de sus oyentes. He anotado algunos pasajes de su improvisacion, por los cuales es posible prever el papel que apostol sejmane puede desmenazar en un porvenir próximo: "Somos 400 millones de oprimidos que pedimos nuestra libertad, dice en el exordio . . . Pues bien, amigas mimos, si mestres hermanos blancos nos aman, nosotros los amaremos, mas si nos odian, también los odiaranes. Y hay de ellos si se nos enfrentan, porque ya hemos aprendido a guerrear. Decidire, quínen gano en suma la guerra? Pues la sangre de los negros en los campos de batalla de los blancos. Clemenceau y Lloyd George se hubilaron visto bastante apurados para terminarla de no contar con nosotros. Cuando Garvey terminó su discurso, precisione en términos entusiastas su deseo de fundar en Etiopa su futuro imperio en donde los negros de las cinco parte del mundo rían a levantar el Dorado de sus suelos. "No tenemos necesidad de la ayuda de nadie, me dojo. Contamos, entre nosotros, con los técnicos requeridos para echar los 'cimientos del imperio negro; tenemos ingerentes; sabios, medicos; tenemos también los medios financieros, he fundado ya la compañía de navigación que formará el lazo de anión entre nuestra patria y las demas blancas o amarillas; he convertido a mis ideas a millones de mís hermanos, mi programa prosigue su camino y cada dia m estandarte flamea más alto . . ." Prometí a todos comunicar sus aspiraciones a mis hermanos de Franca y le di las gracias al profeta por haber consentido en admitimos, aquella tarde, entre los suyos. Imitemos a la "Unión Benefica Española", tendiendo a cimentar en solida base los lazos fraternales de igualdad, recreación, mutualidad, beneficencia; llamando a la union al elemento portorriqueno que hoy vive ajeno en todo y por todo de aquello que significa esparcimiento del espiritu y nutrición mental y física. Tenemos una colonia bastante numerosa. Contamos con elementos de valer que honrarian la patria, probando al elemento extranjero que estamos preparados para secundar todo movimiento progresista dentro de la evolución del pensamiento y de las actividades humanas. Que no seamos por más tiempo caborrojeños, poncenicos, capitalios, etc. etc. portorriquenos netos, amantes de nuestro terreno, de nuestras costumbres, de nuestro origen etico y idiosyncrático. Amantes del progreso, de la il-bertad, de la justicia y del derecho. La unión se impone. Los portorriquíes necesitan de una sociedad benefica, deportiva y literaria. Ante todo benefica. El "Amarás los unos a los otros" no comprendi solamente a los pueblos de oriente. Ha vivido a través de los siglos, violando todas las auroras y todos los crepuscales. Vibra aún. "El Sermón de la Montaña" tendrá anunciaciones de universo en al ancho pentigrama del infinito que encerra en sus espacios nicoloros el "Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo." Yo espero que aquellos elementos conscientes, intelectuales, secunden este movimiento en la fundación de un cuerpo docente donde el portorriquíno no siesta las nostalgias y aforanzas del terruro. Que se haga patria. Pero patria verdad! Entonces no habrá "Club de Cabarrojofos, y sí de "Portorriquefos." Sois cabarrojofos o portorriquenos? Hablad. Lo espero, hermanos. The A. B. B. seems to be in desperate straits and to be seeking the co-operation of other racial groups, notably the U. N. I. A. for the "immediate protection and ultimate liberation of Negroes everywhere." Large bodies move slowly. The U. N. I. A. is one of the very largest bodies among Negroes, and it is making haste slowly. Its work in the direction of rapid upheaval and advancement is open and above any organization of Negroes would securely to attain and enjoy rights and privileges which ought to be seen in a many open fight. It is, therefore, simplified of any, secret organisation such as the A. B. B. defies to be and it is not going to be falsed by personal or official contact, with such a body. I does not intend to be trapped by the white man who invented the A. B. B. this year next year. The A. B. B. ought to be powerful enough to handle its own enemies without the aid of co-operation.
