The Negro World

The Indianapolis Weekly The Voice of the African World Reaching the Mass of Negroes Everywhere Negro World ONE AIM: ONE DESTINY A Newspaper Directed Solidly to the Interest of the Negro Nation VOL. XI 11 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1821 PRICE: NEW CENTRE IN NEW YORK SERVING CENTRO ELECTRICAL UNITES IN TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It is well that we indulge in a little plain talk at times, so that we can better understand ourselves. As a race, we have been trying to bring about better conditions such as would enhance our standing among the other races and nations of the world. We have had an unfortunate past, wherein we were held as chattel slaves for over two hundred and fifty years, and have been ravished and exploited for nearly five hundred years. Out of all that has happened, we have evolved to be a race of free men, having an outlook similar to that of other races. We desire industrial and commercial prosperity, educational and social progress and political liberty. These are the attendants that make races and nations powerful and enable them to command the respect of the world. In our outlook we are striving toward the accomplishment of all these things, but we have been very much handicapped by the lack of method and system among ourselves through which we should operate for the grander achievements of the objects desired. As a race we have encouraged and fostered a destructive policy in striving toward the attainment of the higher qualities of life. When the other races started out to develop themselves for the achievement of the best in human effort they did not divide their loyalty, their ties and their devotion but they decided on one good plan by which success would be earlier realized. All within the race, or within the nation, stuck to the basic principles involved, and all worked for the common good, for the betterment of the race or the nation. Today, as a people, we demonstrate the desire to do and to achieve as others have done, nationally, industrially, educationally, socially and politically; but are we not making a mistake on the policy involved? Hero we are, a race of four hundred million people, with nearly as many leaders as there are people, each leader having a program of his own, each leader purposefully and wickedly fighting the other so that the other might not succeed in his given plan or his policy, and thus a universal fight takes place, the race divided against itself, each and every one fighting in his or her own direction, and yet we expect to achieve success. How can it be? It has never been in the past, it will never be now, and shall never be in the future. Races and nations succeed in making themselves great and powerful only by unity of effort, unity of action, on the past of those concerned, and if the Negro race is to rise to the higher heights of human possibilities, then we must sink our individual and personal desires, and link up ourselves with those things, and those only that tend to the good and welfare of all. We are circumvented today by environments more dangerous than those which have circumvented other peoples in any other age. We are face to face with environments in a civilization that is highly developed, a civilization that is competing with itself for its own destruction; a civilization that cannot last, because it has no spiritual foundation; a civilization that is vicious, crafty, dishonest, immoral, irreligious, and corrupt. Man thinks it a wonder that he should be living in so much ease, comfort, and pleasure brought about by his own genius, his own discoveries; yet man on the other hand suffers from these very things that make man happy. Hence the division in human society. We have a small percentage of the world's populace feeling happy and contented with the civilization that man has evolved, and we have the masses of the human race on the other hand dispatriated and discontented with the civilization of today, with the arrangement of human society. These masses are determined to destroy the systems that hold up such a society, and prop such a civilization. And as by indication, the fall will come, a fall most disastrous, a fall that will use the universal wreck of the civilization that we now see, and in this civilization the Negro is called to play his part. He is called upon to evolve a national ideal based upon freedom, human liberty, and true democracy. Can he rise above the environments and make himself the man that God and nature expects him to be? This is where the rub comes in. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are appealing to the Negro to realise that he cannot afford to be loose in his outlook, because he is laboring under a disadvantage which is quite singular in comparison to other races that have slewn in the past. If the Negro is not careful he will drink in all the poison of modern civilization, and die from the effects thereof. Our purpose is to save the race from such a death, but apparently up to now we have settled on no policy by which we should so save ourselves. A Race of Men Should Have Strong Moral and Social Background—Negro Mother Pura in Their Morala Should Refuse to Perpetuate the Abuses of Slavery by Living with White Men On a policy aiming at the common good, whereby four hundred million of people will benefit by our actions. Today as things are we have divisions in our ranks as a race that will make it impossible for any people or any nation by size. Some of the divisions in our ranks are caused by our own party (calendars and dates of each other, and still other divisions have been caused through organized propaganda as waged against us by those who are opposed to us through members of our own race who have been used as agents to create the divisions and bring about disorder. It has been discovered and it is well known that we have in our ranks as a race men who are paid by the chances of our progress to do everything possible to prevent unity of action on the part of our race. As for example here we have started the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the purpose of which is to deter into one solid body the four hundred million of the world for the purpose of establishing the conditions of Africa an empire of our own, and for the emancipation of Negroes everywhere industrially, commercially, educationally, socially and politically on their own lines. This program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will eventually mean the complete emancipation of the Negro everywhere, the standardizing of the Negro as a man, placing film in a position not of second place, but to stand the equal of any other man in the world. Enemies of Negro progress know that this is the only program that will solve the great problem of races, but they do not want to admit the Negro as a man, they do not want to see the Negro enjoying equal opportunities and privileges with themselves, hence they would subsidize a counter propaganda that would in a way say, "We are striving for the same thing the Universal Negro Improvement Association is striving for, we want the freedom of Africa, we want to emancipate the Negro everywhere," so that a division may be caused in the ranks of the Negroes and the solid support that should be given to the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the higher achievement of its object would be capped. A fight ensues between the rival organizations or the opposing factions, and the ultimate destruction is brought about which will satisfy those who desire to crush the Negro, and their object would have been achieved through the subsidy given to the one to oppose the other. This has been the method used to defeat Negro organizations and Negro success for over fifty years, and I am warning the Negro peoples of the world against the great danger today. New organizations are springing up that are receiving enlistments from our hereditary enemies, and those organizations are being advised to wage even a more radical propaganda than the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to appeal to the equipment and support of our people, and if each support is given it will be diverted into the old-time channel of deception and subterfury. The question comes, therefore, who should lead it? I say the men who should lead you are men that you have tried, then you have put to the test, men you have well analyzed. You must know your man before you follow him; you must know his association; you must even know his birth. You must follow him from cradle to grave; you must know what his life is a true Negro, or a enslaved individual being used, for the purpose of dividing our higher interest. The question of leadership among Negroes must be settled once and for all because we are, not a race of ambilies; we are not a race of prigness; we are a race of men, and we desire to stand on the highest platform of social education of industry and politics. When we come to the social life we should be ad proud as any other race in the world. We should therefore, greed only for the evidence of sound social backgrounds, so that in the final analysis, in the final criticism, we will not have to build in our faces that we are a race of "to and so" meaning that we are socially of no account. To further explain what I do mean, I will say if we were to be asked to send representations to the council of doctors, there the social purity of the nation was to be decreased you would not send a man to represent you who could not sell who his father was and who was admired of giving his father a name. Because if that individual is your leader it would leave the other members of the conference to indulge that you would not understand. Surely I am enlightened, cultivated and that this article underground. a slave and her white master was empowered to take advantage of her. He should her, and compete her to do and act improperly. That poor black woman was forced against her will to bear an illigitimate child for a white father, but have time like this surely we would not excuse our mothers for conduct no matter in the days of slavery. So I repeat that the time has come for us to build a social standard to encourage a higher social life, and if we are to do so properly our leaders must be men sufficiently able to present our cause to the world, and to the social life, so educationally, if so, we were called to a conforming of educated to discuss the problem of education, and would not send an illiterate man, but we would send the best scholar two passing as a race, because the truth is far more educators, if we had a representative who is illiterate, to require that course of the conference would come to the conclusion that our lack had an illiterate back- ground, and so, if it were an industrial conference of industrial committee, we would not send to such a conference man who would have engaged in business, men who have never started any industrial enterprise, because if we were to send a laborer be a man who had no business training or knowledge, the work of the conference would come to the conclusion that we have no industrial background. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION IS A WORLD POWER-HAS PASSED EXPERIMENTAL STAGE Negro Race Should Avoid Entangling Alliances and Keep Its Own Objective Constantly in View Subsidized Negro "Leaders" Spread Insidious Propaganda Throughout Country to Hinder and Discourage New Movement, But to No Avail PORTUGUESE AFRICANS REFUSE TO HEAR PAN-AFRICAN DELEGATES Dr. Grandison Talks on Negro Leadership — Sir William Delivero a Stirring Address LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, October 23, 1921.—To-night Liberty Hall was filled to overflowing by an audience that, because of the evident general intelligence of the people, and their eagerness to hear every word said, would have inspired any speaker to do his best in addressing them. And those who were not present missed an unusual historical treat and musical feast. respected them as their representatives, which demonstrates the new spirit of Negroes everywhere—to follow and support only leaders elected by themselves. the Universal Negro Improvement Association has achieved nothing else Hon. Marcus Garvey, the President-General, delivered the principal speech, taking as his subject, "Entangling Alliances and Affiliations," in which he displayed no loss of power in swaying his hearers of vote. Dr. Wm. H. Ferris, assistant president-general and editor of the Negro World, delivered one of his sky-rocker historical, encyclopedic addresses, and was immediately followed by the Rev. Dr. G. H. Grandison, a new speaker in Liberty Hall, Dr. Grandison, a powerfully built man, whose identity as a Negro cannot be mistaken, is a man of many years' experience not only as a minister, but as plantation owner. He spoke on "Negro Leaning" and showed a mastery of the language equaled by few man. He was forcible, persuasive, and very eloquent. His persecution, in praise of the Hon. Marus Garvey as the interpid leader of the Race, was a masterpiece, and when his concluded, there was not only long and loud applause, but everyone commented and whipped to the one sitting next him on her upon the brilliant address. W. Vance Lewis, Exe. of Texas, also spoke, he too, having been heard here for the first time, and made good impression. He said the second-greatest name, instead of being Marus Garvey, should be Moeus Garvey, because of the great qualities he possesses as a leader. Beauret Harring The president general, to the course of his address, extract from a newspaper, in Islamabad, Portugal, in which appointee was given of a meeting held in Portuguese Africa to hear the report of the delegates sent to the Portuguese government. The report, stated that the native Africans there refused to hear the delegates, declaring that they did not represent them, and that the meeting broke up with loud cries of "Long live Marcos Africa and the active National Party!" With praise the speaker pointed out, showed the influence of the U. N. L. A. upon the black people of the world, emphasized and the principles are now being accepted and adopted universally by Harron, proving that Negrense no longer want or will accept leaders or representatives appointed to the office, but rather and will respect only with leaders and representatives as are selected and appointed by them selves. ing the manner of carrying it into practical execution. Many people, he commented, have dreams and good ideas but do not know how to put them into practical application. After referring to Benjamin Bannaker, Frederick Douglass, Coleridge Taylor, Phillips Wheatley and other men and women of the race he is great praise of the leader of the U. N. I. A. aid. Conder stands another great man, head and shoulders above them all—so big, so large, that all the world sees him. He was not called by McKinley or by Roosevelt or by William Howard Tart or by any of that coterie of white men who have been inspired to name Negro leaders; but the eyes of 400,000 Negroes are turned toward him and 888,000,000 Negroes in Africa are reaching out their help of God—saying, "Go on and help of God." He came from a great and thrilling climax and created a profound impression on the audience. Flava Du Bola fir William H. Ferris in his address to Dr. Du Bois' rise to prominence twelve years ago through certain noted white men having decided upon and selected him as fit to be a Negro leader, and when the announcement was made a great hurrah went up over the land, the people expecting great things from the leader appointed not by but for them, and the people disappointed and they have come to recognize a leader of their own choice, a man who two years ago disliked the news around the world that the Negro by his own genius could do what other people and races have done, and that the same spirit that trapped William the Conqueror, Hannibal the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Christopher Columbus and other great men of the time, whom they famous actuated Marcus Garvey in establishing the H. N. L. A. and the Black Star Lina. Hav. Dr. G. E. Stewart, the High Chancellor, read the Scripture lesson from the 27th Palm. Prayer was conducted by the President-General. The musical program consisted of several numbers, among them being "The Waltz," selected by the choir solo solo by Miss Marie Urquhart; soprano solo by Mme. M. E. Montenot; tenor solo by Mr. Edward Stello; and soprano solo by Mme. Fraser Robinn. One of the speakers conferred a high compliment upon the singers which was deserving, as the music was of unusual quality, particularly by Mr. Stello and solo by Miss Marie Urquhart, a rising young soprano. MR. DARVEY'S ADDRESS MH. GARVEY'S ADVENTURE Ladies and Gentlemen: an subject tightly is "Extending Associations and Affiliations" as a guide, I desire to read about news that comes to us from Africa, through Portugal as published in one of the daily papers of Lisbon. The paper itself is published in Portuguese. The article has been translated, and I will read to you the translation. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 rejected them as their representatives, which demonstrates the new spirit of Negroes everywhere—to follow and support only leaders elected by them-selves. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has achieved nothing else in its four years' existence but to get Negroes to realize that leadership must come from among them and must be elected by them. it will have performed a great service to the race. These Africans have demonstrated a high degree of intelligence in selecting a leadership that we with all our civilization and enlightenment, do not possess; because they were able to discriminate between those whom they elected and whom they placed, and those placed by others. Association Strong Everywhere Association driving everyone What has happened in Portuguese Africa is about to happen in other parts of Africa, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association is sparing no pain, neither money, to carry its propaganda throughout the world. Some people seem to believe that we are going strong in the United States of America only: but I say we are strong everywhere. (Applause.) Some people think that we have to leave America to declare Africa free. Africa is getting ready now to declare for her own freedom, because what the Portuguese-African Negroes have done the Belgian Negroes have done in the Belgian Congo (Applause), and only a couple of weeks ago you read in the papers what the South Africans are doing—the South African Negroes. We have so scattered the propaganda of this organization that the race everywhere has caught the new spirit of freedom: has caught the new spirit of liberty. Many Embarrassments and Difficulties But in struggling toward the freedom we desire, the liberty we desire, we have to overcome many embarrassments, many difficulties, which are placed in our way not so much directly by those who are opposed to us, as by those who are from among us. We are surrounded with peculiar environments. We are struggling up under great disadvantages. We are living in a civilization that is highly developed; we are living in a world that is scientifically arranged, in which everything done by those who control the world is done through system, proper arrangement, proper organization; and among some of the organized methods used to control the world is the thing known and called "propaganda." Propaganda Used to Keep Negroes Divided Propaganda has done more to defeat the good intentions of races and nations than even open warfare. Propaganda is a method or medium used by organized people to convert others against their will; and we are suffering, more than any other race in the world, from propaganda—propaganda to destroy our hopes, to destroy our ambition, to destroy our confidence in life. The propaganda is used, I say, not directly by those who are opposed to us, but is used by those who are with us, as agents of those who are directly opposed to us. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, is surrounded with propaganda that we must well understand if we must ultimately succeed. To destroy the use of propaganda, we must prevent the success of this organization to stray the hope of this race of our freedom, for true liberty, propaganda has been organized to the effect that you will be so diverted, you will be so divided as to bring about confusion among yourselves, and in the confusion will come the success of the plan laid out by those who are organizing to keep us where we are until we are completely destroyed. AGENTS PLEASE READ AGENTS PLEASE READ Please send your orders for papers to reach the office of the Negro World on or before Friday, one week before the date of issue (Saturday). Send money along with your orders, otherwise they will not be sent. State whether money is sent for subscription or for "special order." Write your name plainly. Give street and number. Post Office box or Route. If you want to increase your supply of papers be What do I mean by this? I mean that: the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands out at this time on a platform of equity, of justice, of liberty, of freedom for the Negro. Everybody knows it to be a just cause. No one knows it better than those who robed and exploited and murdered us for over three hundred years. They know it is the program sought by all people, and that it is the program that should be supported by all people who know themselves to be the creatures of God. But their purpose is not to let us suffer and harm by ourselves, because they have always held us as slaves to guit their convanance, provided we let them do that. So as to keep us slaves, so as to be able to use us as they desire, until they feel that they can do complectly without us, they have instigated, they have started, they have subsidized counter-propaganda, counter-movements, some of them having his same appearance as your own Universal Negro Improvement Association, movements that actually try to do the same thing you are trying to do to movements coming out with the same program you have. You can divide and ultimately to destroy you. They know that without unity there can be no success. They know well that with division among you, you will fight among yourself and therefore there will never come a conflict with them—that is between us and them. Negroes Subtitled to Oppose Negroes The propaganda that is subtitled to carry on this work or opposition is being done through our own people. The Pan-African Congress, held in France the other day, and in Belgium and in England, has been a major effort. White men to subvert the higher intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And not only the Pan-African Congress, but other movements, too, have been organised and are being subsidized to defeat Negro opinions. Some belong to the Pan-African Congress, some belong to African Blood Brotherhood, some belong to other movements, and by the division among all of us we will be in such confusion that nothing will be attained. Nagro Support of Nagro Leadership Imperative I went you to realize this—that where your liberty, where your freedom is concerned, there should be b : one policy for you, and that policy should be Negro leadership, and Negro support of Negro leadership. (Applause.) Where other things are concerned, as religion, social life, or industrial life, we can afford to admit into association other races; but where your liberty is concerned, where your freedom is concerned, no one should be allowed but yourselves. (Applause.) Because to me liberty must be won from some one if you haven't got it. If you haven't liberty, and you are struggling for it, you will have to get it from some one; you are in deriving you of your association. (Applause.) How then can you afford to accept into your association, into your companionship, into your executive councils, men who have kept you from getting your liberty, and those who are opposed to the progress you are making for your liberty? It is illogical. If Africa is to be freed from Europe she has got to be made free upon her own initiative, free from any alliance or aid from Europeans Africans cannot expect Europe to help free Africa when Europe is the country that keeps Africa in subjection. It is illogical. Entangling Alliances Not to Be Encouraged Here we have Negro institutions, Negro organizations in this country, and in different parts of the world, subsided by white men; some of them by white men as their executive officers; some of them are engineered in such a skillful way as not to have white men show themselves, but white men's money supports the propaganda, and at a certain time those who support the propaganda with their finance will be able to dictate the policy of the organization. I want you to realize, therefore, that where your liberty, where your freedom is concerned, you cannot afford to encourage entangling alliances and entangling associations and affiliations, because if liberty is to be won from a certain government, you cannot afford to let that government be your executive and win your liberty. It is illogical, I repeat. So that I want you to analyze well associations and organizations that are endeavoring by their programs to fight for the liberty of Africa. They are meant only to do otive. It is only an intention to create division in your ranks, knowing well that nothing can be achieved through division. U. N. I. A. New a World Power I think the Universal Negro Improvement Association has passed the experimental stage. It has passed the control of any one man, or the control of any two or three men, or coterie of men. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has become a world power, and has grown from its childhood as an organization to its full bloom. I am not saying that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only Negro movement we should have, but I say it should be the only Negro movement as far as liberty is concerned, for the simple reason that we cannot afford to be divided where the fight for liberty is concerned. If there is division of any army on the battlefield, it means defeat. that the victory it has on its side is lost in the battleships of life united; therefore, if our objective is a free Africa for the liberation of Negroes, we should have but one organization, because when the command is given it should come from but one general. If you have ten generals giving counter-commands, you are bound to be defeated. Therefore, I want you to realize that we are living in dangerous times. We are living in times when you cannot afford to say, "Let us do that, let us do this," as far as this organization is concerned, we must have a certain policy; we must have either one or the other. The one that means liberty must be done wholly by yourselves, because no one race, no other race, is going to give you liberty, especially when that race oppresses you and is succeeding at your expense, as has ooen the case during the last three hundred years. For the last 300 years the white man has been our oppressor and he naturally is not going to liberate you. He is not going to liberate you to the higher freedom, the higher liberty—the true democracy. You have to liberate yourselves. And I am warning you at this time that many efforts are being made to subvert the higher aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is counter-propaganda, and I want you to watch out so that you are not fooled. As for me, before I would allow a white man to trick me or to deceive me I prefer to die. I feel that the time has come for the Negro in politics—for the Negro in his desire for government to do for himself. It he is not prepared to do that he may as well throw up the sponge. No one will give you liberty but yourself and you must get it through organization. I think the Negro is right at the stage now when he can start him to work for his own liberty. You will not be involved in the stage. I am sorry for you. Understand that when you desire liberty you have to support the cause of liberty, and I think we are sufficiently equipped today as we are. It does not take so much money; it is not money so much that will win this cause. It is unity. We do not want so many millions and billions of dollars; we want millions of organized Negroics and we will win out in the great cause of freedom and liberation, and the world knows it, and the world is not going to give you your freedom so easily. They will use every means at their disposal to prevent you from acquiring Africa, because, as I have said before, Africa is the richest continent in the world just at this time. Africa is the most resourceful continent in the world at this time, and the future nations of the world will exist at the expense of Africa, and it is for us now in the interest of freedom and realizing that Africa is looking to us, to fight for the salvation of Africa. They will tell you in America that you are not related to the Africans; that you have nothing in common with them. They will tell the Africans at home that they are not related to the Negroes over here. If Africa is not the African, they are not other than the Negroes over here, than the Africans over there. And so there is propaganda all over to divide us. But thank God, through the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all the people know that we are one people; we shall live as one people and we shall do it as one people. (APlause.) Do Not Allow Yourselves to Be Defeated Some of us because of our selfish desires, because of our selfish ends allow ourselves to be used for the carrying out of the purposes of others in defeating the higher aims and objects of this organization. It is the desire to keep Africa divided; it is the desire to keep Africa exploited; it is the desire to keep Negro slaves; themselves and they will employ some of us and give us large sums of money; they will spend thousands of dollars to support and wage a campaign to deceive what we can get for ourselves personally we allow ourselves to be used as the tools; but the God who in the Creator of mankind, God who is never asleep, I feel sure is watching his achievement through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They have used all kinds of means to defeat the Universal Negro Improvement Association; they have used propaganda to discredit us; they have called us all kinds of names; they called us thieves; they call usignant people; they say we do not know how to do business; they try to embarrass in business, explain we do not know anything about business; and they are attempting to other ways of doing business. organization, but thank God, we have a new Negro here—a new Negro who realizes that liberty does not mean dollars and cents. Liberty means in certain cases that our minds to give our last dawn that africa may be free. Those of you who have been connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association for two or three years will recall the continued propaganda of criticism against the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the continued program of criticism against the Black Star Lina. You have seen the Negro newspapers lying against the Black Star Line and against the Negro Factories Corporation. It was to carry out a certain intention. They who are opposed to us know the psychology of the people; they know the psychology of our race. If you can create suspicion among them you have them defeated. Thank God four million of us have been able to rise above suspicion—four million of us realize in the fight to Africa and to emancipate ourselves, and when the deception continues we are not displeased. That all race have traveled in a like manner to success. They have had their traitors and we will have ours too. Therefore, do not be discouraged by the acts of the traitors. do not be discouraged by what others may do or say; counter propaganda against us; but continue the good work for the good that will accrue to us as a people today and tomorrow. Again I must thank you who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the loyalty you have displayed, for the devotion you have given to this grand an noble cause. I may continue the work because the victory is drawing high. Just imagine, four years ago the Belgian Congo was under tutelage, four years ago Portuguese Africa as under tutelage, four years ago South Africa was under tutelage, four years ago India had no voice. Today the Negro of the Congo, the Negro of the Portuguese colonies, the Negro of South Africa is speaking out in the language of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and declaring for an African National Party (Applause). We have achieved greatness in four years, and if I die tonight or if I die tomorrow or ten years from now or fifty years from now, I will go to my grave feeling satisfied that I did my duty to my race and my God. (Applause). In struggling toward this higher end of a Free Africa some of us must make up our minds even for death; and as for me I must make up any time for the freedom of our God me that I must compromise; tell me that I must back down, tell me that I must apologize. I say let me die. Almighty God at the hour, because there is no apology in liberty; there is no compromise in liberty. There is a straight fight for liberty and some of us must die before liberty parches on the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applause). SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS SPEAKS. Sir William H. Ferris, Assistant President General and literary editor of the Negro World, was the first speaker of the evening, and among other things said Twelve years ago the news swept over the country that Dr Du Bois had been inspected by Moorfield Storey, then a lawyer and philanthropist, and by Oswald Garrison Vilson, editor of the Nation, and pronounced to be be fit for leadership, and the people thought it was the best black man to be an apt pupil of white in books, manners, morals and dress, and they throw up their hands and said hurrah. But two years ago the news was flashed over the world that black men could not only be apt pupils of white men—not only could they imitate white men, but could construct and create on their own hook, and that is the reason why the Negroes of the world were thrilled when the Yarmouth set sail. It was not a large boat and it was not a new boat, but it was the spirit behind the launching of the Black Star Line that thrilled the Negro world and surprised the white world. The same spirit that William the Conqueror manifested when he crossed the Channel and wrested the kingship from King Harold—the same spirit which Hannibal and Napoleon showed when they crossed the Alps; the same spirit which other Columbus showed when he launched the ship. And it discovered a new continent in the Hon. Marous Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Line when they launched the Yarmouth. And it was because the world was made conscious of the fact that a new spirit of initiative, daring courage and energy had taken possession of the Negro that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is respected. U. N. I. A. Has Shown Moral Stamina U. N. I. A. Has Shown Moral Stimula The Negro Negro Improvement Association has shown a moral stamina and ability to face obstacles; to stand hammering as no other Negro "improvement has stood, and it is because of the moral stamina that has been exhibited by the members of the U. N. L. A. that the world believes that it is an organization" is here to hear. We have had a great many men to connect themselves with our ranks. Some of them have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Man of Chardetor Needed What Marcos Garvey needs is men of character. In the Scriptures they speak about a man who built his house on the shifting sands and the other man who built his house on a rock. Well, a man who has no character is like the shifting sands, and the man who has character is like a rock—the rock upon which New York city and Harlem have been built. Because when a man has character and honesty you can depend upon him and you can rely upon him. The reason why the Universal, Negro Improvement Association is dying deep in the one" of human kindness is because A has clearly lived as no other movement has, that is, "race that does damage" entirely upon another race to lift it up and carry it on its shoulders will sever war for no matter how much love, there is in prayer: no matter how much pay, no matter how many carry the time, no matter how many other gets the strength to stand on my feet and walk he will be left for the "hurch"; and that applies to the Negro, and it is because of the constructive program of the Liberian Construction Loan, and the Black Star Line and the Negro Factory Corporation which will put a foundation and bedrock in the Negro that the U. N. I. A. is something more than a wind-lamming organization, because it is built upon the scillit rock. (Ampiause.) DR. O. 12. GRANDISON SPEAKS Rev. Dr. G. M. Grandison was then introduced and spoke as follows. Your Excellence the President General and provisional President of the High Executive Council, officers and members of the local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—This is the proustest moment of my life. This is the first time in a long career when I have had the privilege of addressing such a large, intelligent and representative body of colored men and women. I have spoken to a larger body of men and women than this, but they were not all colored, and they had me there, as Douglas used to say, "to give color to the occasion." (Laughter.) I have spoken, I believe, to about 10,000 white men and women and colored men and women in Atlanta, Ga., some twenty-odd years ago, but this is the first time in the history of my life when I have stood face to face with such a body of colored men and women. I do not like that word "colored." I have never been colored myself. I think the old grammarians tell us that colored is the perfect particle of color, and that one had to go through it. I have never gone through any process myself; I was just born this way (laughter), and I do not like the word "colored." I prefer the word Negro. I was given to us in apprehium, but I believe that under God we are going to make the name the most respected under the sun of heaven. (Applause.) Negro Leadership I am going to talk to you on Negro Leadership. Every distinctive group of people must have its own leaders. A man to be a leader must represent the people. The word "represent" is made up of two words: "to" "present." A people have in them certain desires, certain longings, certain yearnings, certain hopes and ambitions and aspirations, and where a people have a separate and distinct life they have a paternal and distinct yearning and aspiration and unless a white man can turn to be a Negro he cannot represent a Negro. A man cannot represent a thing unless it is in him; and no man who is not a Negro, who does not feel all that a Negro feels, who does not sympathize with him, who does not weep when he heeps and jolles when he rejoices, who does not carry in his bony the same spirit and aspiration of the people cannot represent a people. And that is one reason we have been so awakened and so firmly among ourselves. The fact is that the deep subconsciousness of the Negro's nature has not yet been sounded. It is being sounded and wherever it is being sounded it is being awakened, and by and by, when the Negro comes into full race consciousness, then a great many men who are trying to lead will have to hunt another job. The Qualities of Leadership Not only must the lessons be representative representing a people—he must interpret to the people; he must tell the people what is in their own hearts; he must gather together the nabula, as it were, in their own bosoms; in their own minds, yet unable to express them. This leader must come to the people and interpret to the people what is in their hearts. He must not only interpret to the people, not only tell the people what they want and must have; he must tell other people from whom he would secure their rights and privileges what his people want. He must take no compromising stand; he must not get on the fence, but he must stand flatfooted on the eternal principle of right and look into the faces of the enemies of his people and say, "Run up the white flag or I propose to move immediately upon your works." He must interpret to the people and then he must be thoroughly loyal to the people; loyal to the cause; he must be a man of vision; he must have faith in himself. No man is fit to lead who has not faith in himself—failure in his own inward. In order that sinks deep down for no man whom God does not talk to fit to lead, God takes His leader side and whispers into his ear. It is not the voice of thunder; it is not the voice of lightning; it is not the voice of an earthquake, but it is the still small voice that God whispers into the soul of the man that his would be. It is the voice of God that makes him feel that he is God's man, in God's place, doing God's work in God's way, and the man who gets that faith in himself does not care for money for the sake of money, does not care for reputation, does not care for the applause of the fickle multitude unless they are going his way. (Applause). But he is a man who stands out for the right because he believes that back of him is Almighty God and the battalions of heaven. He is a man who has faith in his people, faith in their achievement, faith in their future. He is on the mountain himself, and he knows that man comes from the ranks of the people. He is a man who attains to the same heights to which he has attained himself. And the man who has not confidence and faith in his own people he is not fit to try to be a leader. Go-Called Negro Leaders There are today - lots of specialized Negro leaders telling us that this program is too big to be put over. "Too big, why?", If white man means it the leader of a black woman, say, in your town. of it and black men matted and black men, are controlling it, little, panny-pammy, these little these "wroody-dum" Nermys, say it cannot be put over, if men can put it over, a Nermys sees black men can put it over, "Great angsthed." But God up in black men every quality right and feeling and achievement wrapped up in white men, and peaches that the black race shall in some day in the strength of formed manhood, free from the om of the white man's thoughts and, taking his ideas and his and creating the imagination black hearts and black lips, shall the the imagination heights, where all races have arisen. (Applause) is what a leader must have— faith in himself, and faith in Real Leader Not Pursueable a real leader is unpurebility; maint silence him. He does not or money, as I said a while ago, oake of money. He stands for with, and he knows he stands for with and he is so intent on cas- forward the work of his people money cannot buy him. (An- of Birth Nothing to Do With Real Leadership a sorry to say that I hear a great pruit talk about how a great being a West Indian don't be a West Indian. I don't care was born in the Fill Island; care if he was born in Africa; care if he was born on the sea, where he is the world, so long has the spirit of the living God and has the interest of his race rt. (Applause.) rage Another Characteristic leader must have courage. Not must he have an eagle eye, but he be lion-hearted, and he must face friends that come to him, he must afraid to die. A real leader leave go to heaven by the way gallows or by any other way if is for his people. A real leader to the prize of that alone, and in the coming day God will take if me. I am a mortal until my is done. I am talking about leadership, remember Right Man in the Right Place and at the Right Time at the Right Time proof that our gallant leader is hit man, in the right place, and right time, is the display of his in four particulari. First, his is seen in the conception of the of such an organization as the real Negro improvement Association. his genius is seen, in the se- sence in his ability, not only to but to put the idea into con- form and practical application. of people dream. I have been ing myself. (Leisigter.) Lots plio dream. The people of India ; they dreamed out of their and out of their minds and out brains the greatest philosophic religious systems ever evolved the brain and heart of men; but all as far as they have gotten who can conceive, and dream, ng poetry well, but the man who not only dream, but who can dream into a practical organ- that is benefiting mankind, and transmit to distant generations illumination of his dream, is a genius, our gallant leader shows his genius only dreaming, but also in con- g his dreams and bringing them. harvey's Methods of Appeal only that, but the Ibn. Marcus y has shown his genius by appeal- that which is fundamental in negro. He appeals to the spectacle it is in the Negro; we have allowed the pomp and ceremony our ount we always loved paranail. Oh, yes. the reason we studied astronomy long before blite man knew astronomy. The blite man entered into the heavens attached with rapturous delight the moon and stars, and by the berry of his powerful intellect down the sun moon and stars weighed, to be measured, to have distances calculated, and their and years, and months altered. Long before the white man higher mathematics, the big-foot-tipped, flat-nosed, woolly-Negro, on the banks of the Nile, invented geometry. Long before white man knew higher mathematics (which he says I cannot learn) Negro understood the principles of my, which the white man today is among the lost arts; for most of the great mechanical power the Negro invented could have massive stones four hundred lbs in building the great Pyramids Egypt, the wonder of the world, the Negro has always loved fine beautiful china. We caressed the air with joy, towards the walls, to catch the first beams of morning sun, and on which ligners let mellow rays of departing day, the great leader knew how to soothe the itm to inmate in the h, and that is the reason for these some, beautiful multi-colored, and these fine robes that are by the officers of the association have got them, because you are a structure of music, in which bus and daughter of the handiculture will serve the songs of us and the Lamb." Nero is Nothing if Not Religious Nero is nothing if it is not rea- sion. And our leader shows his is it appealing to this other funda- tion of the Nero rea- sion. The Nero ea rer is nothing does not pass in God, sir. God that you see a leader, do not in God, Dad, leave. God out of commun, the God who out of the Earth and who grow back up, expire, to our little Earth, and gets around like a boy and gets the Great God who know entirely the great method of our new system, and it took the time in the armament; and the god of Julius, away ornamented, come into being and almost alone among the other planets The Great God, who spoke and commanded the state to march and keep pass with the sun; that God that is incarnated Himself and was born in a cradle, in a manager, and went on Calvary's hill, burdened with the cree with Negro blood in his veins, and died for all mankind. He is the Negro God. (Applaud.) And he is not the white man's God only; my God is a composite being. Illuminous Megroses of the Past Com- pared Now, to compare our leaders; let us see where they stand abaenails of other leaders. Some men in our race, in the day and generation, have reached the imperial heights, and I understand that they stand upon an altitl. so the sunlight is always bright, and where the air is always pure, and the good and the great in all ages past have paid their homage to them. Yonder stands one: he is standing with Coppergranell Galilee, Hirschal fils Isaac Newton, the star gamer of all the ages of the world, astronomer and Negro emmanuak makin. And yonder stands another, the use a woman tender, fragile. She comes from wher: "African sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand" and sings with Hra. Browning, Felicia Hemana, whose songs are heard with delight on two Continent- nat is Phyllis Whestley. Yonder another up there, and he is Frederick Duggan. When he spoke he roared like a lion. He traveled through this country and Canada and Great Britain and created a moral sentiment against slavery which helped to break the manacles of 4,000,000 slaves, and that man is Fredrick Douglas, Douglas. Yonder stands another. All London is at his feet and America pays homage to his genius—that is Coleridge Taylor, and he is standing with Mauzer, Wagner and other great composers. "Yonder is another one, there can be mistake about his race; he is as black as the ravens wings; as black as the stormiest night, as Yonder stands with Walter Scott, with Thackeray, with Butler Lytton, with Charles Dickens, with Balzac, with Victor Hueg, with Nathaniel Hawthorne, with J. Pennett Cooper, with William Howeella. An angel heard him singing and so sweet, so divine, his singing, beguiled him away to join the heavenly choir. That is our Paul Lawrence Dunbar. That is our and wonder all together so big, so large that all the world sees him. Yonder he stands; he is not honored by McKinley, or by Roosevelt or by William Howard Tatt or by any of that coterie of white men who have been acquainted to name and honor Negro leaders. But the eyes of 400,000,000 are turned out towards him and $80,000,000 in banking out with his bony hands and making out with his bony help of God. There he stands with great leaders of the past—with Moses and Elizah; and after a while he will bound out for us and 200 years hence (which is not long in the history of a race) you and I from our supernatural heights in Glory will look up upon a race not struggling upon the summit of a lofty civilization chad in garments of real beauty and majesty shaking the earth beneath their mighty tread, and God's angel will come to crown us at last under the leadership of that intrepid, honest-pure-hearted, pure-minded patriarch Negro, Marous Garvey. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Mon, J. Vance Lewis Speaks The next speaker was H. J. Vance Lewis of Texas, who prefaced his address with a few complimentary references to the singers who participated in the musical program. He then proceeded to speak on the subject: "Must we go back home or must we bow to the mandates of their flag?" in a forceful and logical argument urged the wisdom of Negroes seeking to establish a super-government in Africa that will stand out pre-eminently among the nations of the world. God, the speaker said, helped his Negroes to lead his people in answering the call. It was his (the speaker's) intention to go through the South and tell the Negroes of the South to get on board and join hands with the Negroes of the North and South and East and West and all over the world in an effort to establish a government of our own in Africa where there will be no brushing, no burning, no segregation, no discrimination.

Can you complain against this defendant? A. Yes. Q. Just state to the Court what your complaint is on. Defendant's Counsel's I object. The matter he claims to be libelous should be produced first, not let him go with his story first. If that matter is in writing, it should be produced. The Court: The definition of libel is the malicious publication by writing, etc. It must be in writing, otherwise than by mere speech. Q. Do you know the defendant here? Defendant's Counsel: We admit it. A. Yes. I do. B. Have you known the defendant? A. About three years. Q. Do you know what business he is in? A. Yes, str. Q. What? A. He is managing editors of The Negro World, and also President-General of the U. N. L. A., a Negro organization. Defendant's Counsel: If Your Honor please, I object. The Court: How does that hurt you? Defendant's Counsel: It is im-material. We want to get at the meat of the case. The Court: I will allow it. Go ahead. Q. Did you get his publication, and read it? A. Regularly. We exchange. Q. You exchange publications? A. Yes, sir. Q. What is the date of the publication which you bring the summons on? A. The dates are October 8, October 12, and October 22. By the Court: Q. The publication of this defendant? A. Yes, sir. Q. In which is the libelous matter? A. Yes, sir. Q. Have you copies of it here? A. Yes, I have, sir. By District Attorney: Q. Let us see the first one, October S. Point out to me where the matter is (Witness indicates.) Q. That contains the same statement? A. Yes. And the next is October 22, which issue came out the day after I had served the summons on him. By the Court: Q. Are they all the same. A. Yes, sir. Q. The advertisement in the numbers of October 8, October 15 and October 22, 1921, are all the same ad? A. Yes, sir. By District Attorney: Q.

District Attorney: I offer these papers in evidence as People Exhibit 1, 2 and 3. The Court: Admitted. Mark them. The papers were marked People's Exhibits 1, 9 and 2. Q. Did you enter any injury from these aids in the paper? A. Yes, you. F. Did, and do. Defendant's Counsel: I object, and move to strike off the answer. The Court. Strike it off. District Attorney: Your witness. Defendate General: I move at the time to disarm the complaint on the ground that the matter pumphooded of it is not libelous. Take to spitting what Rutledge does. I may make to Term Home that while there may be defection to the领领 that so say that a while man is so angry, men are libelous, there is no good man. that a secrete is, a white man is theeless. In Cuba and the West Indies, a man of the color of this complainant is white; and he is a white man here. If he is called a white man there is no reason for him to complain. By the Court: Are you here you born? A. In the West Indies I am naturalized. Q. Are you of the secrete blood, or white blood? A. Yes, sir. I am of secrete blood, and I am a secrete in the United States as the American courts have held all sir. Q. What do you mean the United States Courts have held? Have they decided your case, that you are a Negro? A. It has can take up, on, several times, Your Honor. There is a statement there by a lawyer, Your Honor. This statement is marked as the end of the page there, Your Honor. (Witness hands the Court a book.) Q. Where were you born, you say? A. In the West Indies. Q. Were your parents Negroes? A. My mother was, and my grand parents were both Negroes. Q. Where was your father born? A. In England, Your Honor. Q. Your father was an Englishman and your mother was a colored woman of the East Indies. A. Your Honor. Q. From the West Indies? A. Yes. My mother is here also, Your Honor, in the Court. Q. Your mother is in the court room? A. Yes, she. Your Honor. The Court: Your motion to dismiss is denied. Germann. miss in Detroit, Michigan. The Documents say I ask a question of Honey! The Court: You have a lawyer to talk for you. I have denied your motion. Q. Were you ever taken for a white man? District Attorney: I object. That is unmaterial. The Court: Objection sustained. Undoubtedly you are of the Negro race. Defendant Counsel: I want to show his color, complication. C. What is your accomplishment? A. I only know I was Negro, and the success of my business is dependent upon it. Defendant's Counsel: I want the record to show it. The Court: The man says that he has Negro blood in him by his mother. That makes him a Negro irrespective of his color. Defendant's Counsel: I want to show to Fenn Honey that he is white in color, complication. The Court: The Courts have held it a man with one drop of Negro blood in him is a Negro. Defendanda Counsel: We merely state he is white. The Court: You state he is a Negro for convenience. Defendants Counsel: But his complication is white, and I want the record to show that. The Court: The fact that his complication may be white does not make him a white man. You state in this ad. that he is a Negro for convenience. Defendant's Counsel: Is calling man a white man or a orse, libel- cary? The Court! Anything tending to injure any person, corporation, etc., in his or their business or occupation. Demandant's Counsel! He doesn't claim to be injured in his business or occupation. Complaining Witness (Briggs): I certainly do. The Court: It would seem from the advertisement itself that it is an endeavor to prevent him from organizing the African Blood bruneroom. Defendant's Counsel: This is not a suit for injury to a many business. This is criminal libel and there must be libel per se to compel him to file a libel. It is not sufficient that he is damaged. There must be a case of libel per se. This does not hold him up to contempt or malice, or accuse him of a crime, or that he has some lithotomie, drunken or was convicted of a crime. The Court. You are wring on your law, counsel. I have the right before me. Any malicious publication, whether written or printed, a picture, affray, want to otherwise, which has a tendency to inflict a person, compassion or organization of persons, on the law of it. Dependent's Counsel. I, unless they be diplomatic, are not, and must be unwilling. We are required to present the person to our attention, or demand his aid or advice. The Court. You are referring to civil law. Dependent's Counsel. You follow about criminal law. The Court I have it right here? Do you digigate the law? Defendant's Counsel: My client wishes to examine the witness. The Court: You can't have an examination by two. Either one or the other may examine. Either counsel appears for the defendant, or the defendant appears in person. One or the other. Defendant's Counsel: My client has a countercharge to make. He desires to file a countercharge. The Court: There cannot be any counter charge in a criminal case. Did you ever hear of a countercharge in a criminal action? Defendant's Counsel: Not exactly. But he has a charge to make against the complaint for malicious publications. The Court has a complaint to make, he knows what to do. Defendant: I came to court to ask for a summons for criminal libel against him, and they said you would hear it at this hearing. The Court: Have you any further questions to ask? By Defendant's Counsel: Q. You are very unfriendly to this defendant? A. No, I am not. District Attorney I object to that as immaterial. Q. You have been publishing matter against hisa? Defendant's Counsel: Exception. Q. You are organizing a competing organization? District Attorney: I object. Your Honor, to the word "competing." The Court: Objective sustained. Defendant's Counsel: Exception. The Court: Counselor, did you read section 1343 of the Penal Law? Defendant's Counsel: Yes. Your Honor. Q. There is rivalry between you and the defendant, is there not? Q. You say you sustained injury by this publication? A. I have. District Attorney: That is sufficient. By Defendant's Counsel: Q. Have you lost your position? Have you lost any position? A. I haven't any position to lose. I am a publisher. Q. Have you lost any money? A. Yes. I have. It has caused me expense so far, and has brought upon me ridicule and even threats, also. Q. Who threatened you. A. Here is a letter, for instance. Q. Let me see it. (Witness produces a letter.) Q. Is that all you have, air? A. I have been called up on the 'pham'; I have also been threatened on the street. I have been passing groups of what I call Carverites in Harlem; that is, the special followers of Marcus Garvey. They have made remarks against me. Q. When was that? A. Since the publication of these papers. Q. Was the publication referred to by the person or persons threatening you? A. No, but the words used are the very words used in there. Q. Was the publication referred to by the parties threatening you? A. Yes. Q. Didn't you publish a curious article against Marcus Garvey? District Attorney's I object. The Court Observation maintained. Detendant's Counsel: Exception. Q. Wasn't it because of your curious publication? District Attorneys Office The Court: Objection granted. I wore you not to carry on that course of examination. If you wish to make a charge of this kind against this man, go to the client's office after we are through here and make your complaint. Defendants: Commissar. I will be we threatened. I want to show you about it. At the point we brought Defendants' Commissar. May I not cross-examine him on that? The Court: As to the point in truth, no anything else. Determinate Counsel. If Your Honor places, please Mr. Carter's wants to be heard in this matter. The Court. He will have an ap- portunity to take the place and tell to the Court answer. The People have not received you. Let you get it all in a quick, timely way. By Dearl Sitnagny. Q. How many pleading letters did you receive, or did you receive any Chancelling letters?

You opened the door yourself. You said him yourself. Defendens' Counsel. Exception. Was anything said over the telephone to you in regard to the threat that appeared in the Nervous World? . . . Yes. There was. Defendant's Counsel: I object, unless he connects it up with who did it. The Court: I will allow it. Defendant's Counsel: Exception. Q. Did you know who was talking to you over the telephone? A. No, sir. Q. You couldn't all the voices? A. No, sir. Q. How many telephone calls did you get? A. Three up to date, sir. Q.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION IS A WORLD POWER--HAS PASSED EXPERIMENTAL STAGE Negro Race Should Avoid Entangling Alliances and Keep Its Own Objective Constantly in View Subsidized Negro "Leaders" Spread Insidious Propaganda Throughout Country to Hinder and Discourage New Movement, But to No Avail PORTUGUESE AFRICANS REFUSE TO HEAR PAN-AFRICAN DELEGATES Dr. Grandison Talks on Negro Leadership — Sir William Delivero a Stirring Address LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, October 23, 1921.—To-night Liberty Hall was filled to overflowing by an audience that, because of the evident general intelligence of the people, and their eagerness to hear every word said, would have inspired any speaker to do his best in addressing them. And those who were not present missed an unusual ornithical treat and musical feast. Hon. Marcus Garvey, the President-General, delivered the principal speech, taking as his subject, "Extangling Alliances and Affiliations," in which he displayed no loss of power in swaying his hearers of yore. Sly Wm. H. Ferris, assistant president-general and editor of the Negro World, delivered one of his sky-rocket, historical, encyclopaedic addresses, and was immediately followed by the Rev. Dr. C. M. Grandison, a new speaker in Liberty Hall. Dr. Grandison, a powerfully built man, whose identity as a Negro cannot be mistaken, is a man of many years' experience not only as a minister, but as a platform speaker and collage president. He spoke on "Negro Leadership" and showed a mastery of the language equaled by few man, the fourth most powerful and well-versed. In addition, the Hon. Marquis Garvey as the intrepid leader of the Race, was a masterpiece, and when he concluded, there was not only long and loud applause, but everyone commented and whipped to the one sitting next him or her upon the brilliant address. J. Vance Lewis, Ed. of Texas, also spoke, he, too, having been heard here for the first time, and made a good impression, particularly when he said that the president-general name, instead of being Marquis Garvey, should be Mose Garvey, because of the great qualities he possesses as a leader. The president-general, in the course of his address, an extract from a newspaper, in *London*, Portugal, in which an account was given of a meeting held in Portuguese Africa to hear the report of the delegates sent to the government. The report stated that the native Africans there refused to hear the delegates, declaring that they did not represent them, and that the insurgent broke up with lead cries on "Long live, Marcos' Africa and the African National Party!" This news, the speaker pointed out, showed the influence of the U. N. L. upon the black people of the world everywhere, and that its princes are now balm accepted and adopted universally by Negroes, proving that Negroes no longer want or will accept the appointed by Britain, but insist, and will respect only rich leaders and representatives of women and appointed by themselves. He returned to, the insidious propaganda that is being spread throughout this country, in many forms, to injure the cause of the U. N. L. A., as by organizations having similar names to the U. N. 32 L. A., by others having similar objects and purposes by the press, and by so-called Negro leaders, all of which and all of whom are subdued. This propaganda, however, is making its way in its endeavors, in its design and execution, and Mr. Garvey urged the members of the U. N. L. A. not to become disillusioned. By such propaganda, and by beware of enlarging alliances and animosities, especially when these promo investigation are descriptive and like wolves in fambly clothing. ing the manner of carrying it into practical execution. Many people, he commented, have dreams and good ideas but do not know how to put them into practical application. After referring to Benjamin Banneker, Frederick Dougain, Coleridge Taylor, Phyllis Wheatley and other men and women of the race he is great praise of the leader of the U. N. I. A. and Tonder stands another great man, head and shoulders above them all—so big, so large, that all the world sees him. He was not called by McKinley or by Roosevelt or by William Howard Tart or by any of the coterie of white men who have been inspired to name Negro leaders; but the eyes of 400,000 Negroes are turned toward him and 880,000,000 Negroes in Africa are reaching out their ebony hands toward him. It was a great and thrilling climax and created a profound impression on the audience. Playa Du Gols Sir William H. Ferris in his address alluded to Dr. Du Bour rise to prominence twelve years ago through certain noted white man having decided upon and selected him as fit to be a Negro leader, and when the announcement was made a great hurrah went up over the land, the people expecting great things from the leader appointed not by but for them, and the people disappointed and they have come to recognize a leader of their own choosing a man who two years ago flashed the news around the world that the Negro by his own genius could do what other people and race have done, and that the same spirit that impaled William the Conqueror, Hannah the Great, Napoléon Bonaparte, Christopher Columbus and other great man in history, deeds that have been actuated by Garvey in establishing the H. N. L. A. and the Black Star Lina. Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, the High Chancellor, read the Scripture lesson from the 27th Psalm. Prayer was conducted by the President-General. The musical program consisted of several numbers, among them being "William Tell Overture," "The Serenade," and soprano solo by Miss Marie Urquhart; soprano solo by Mme. M. H. Houston; tenor solo by Mr. Edward Stello; and soprano solo by Mme. Fraser Robinhan. One of the speakers conferred a high compliment upon the singer which was deserving, as the music was of unusual quality. The solo by Mr. Stello and the solo by Miss Marie Urquhart, a young soprano. MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS MR. GARRETT Ladies and Gentlemen: My subject tonight, in "Ensanguishing Associations and Affiliations," as a prelude, I desire to rewrite a bit of news that comes to us Africa, through Portugal, in published in one of the daily papers of Lisbon. The paper itself is published in Portugal. The article has been translated, and I will read to you the translation: PORTUGUESS NEGROES AND THE CONGREES THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 rejected them as their representatives, which demonstrates the new spirit of Negroes everywhere—to follow and support only leaders elected by themselves. the Universal Negro Improvement Association has achieved nothing else in its four years' existence but to get Negroes to realize that leadership must come from among them and must be elected by them. it will have performed a great service to the race. These Africans have demonstrated a high degree of intelligence in selecting a leadership that we with all our civilization and enlightenment, do not possess; because they were able to discriminate between those whom they elected and whom they placed, and those placed by others. Association Strong Everywhere What has happened in Portuguese Africa is about to happen in other parts of Africa, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association is sparing no pain, neither money, to carry its propaganda throughout the world. Some people seem to believe that we are going to live in the United States of America only; but I say we are strong everywhere. (Applause.) Some people think that we have to leave America to declare Africa free. Africa is getting ready now to declare for her own freedom, because what the Portuguese-African Negroes have done the Belgian Negroes have done in the Belgian Congo (Applause), and only a couple of weeks ago you read in the papers what the South African are doing—the South African Negroes. We have so scattered the propaganda of this organization that the race everywhere has caught the new spirit of freedom; has caught the new spirit of liberty. Many Embarrassments and Difficulties But in struggling toward the freedom we desire, the liberty we desire, we have to overcome many embarrassments, many difficulties, which are placed in our way not so much directly by those who are opposed to us, as by those who are from among us. We are surrounded with peculiar environments. We are struggling up under great disadvantage. We are living in a civilization that is highly developed; we are living in a world that is scientifically arranged, in which everything done by those who control the world is done through system, proper arrangement, proper organization; and among some of the organized methods used to control the world is the thing known and called "propaganda." Propaganda Used to Keep Negroes Divided Propaganda has done more to defeat the good intentions of races and nations than even open warfare. Propaganda is a method or medium used by organized people to convert others against their will; and we are suffering, more than any other race in the world, from propaganda—propaganda to destroy our hopes, to destroy our ambition, to destroy our confidence in life. The propaganda is used. I say, not directly by those who are opposed to us, but is used by those who are with us, as agents of those who are directly opposed to us. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, is surrounded with propaganda that we understand if we must ultimately succeed, and thereby the usefulness of this organization, the success of this organization, to destroy the hope of this race of ours for freedom, for true liberty, propaganda has been organized to the effect that you will be so diverted, you will be so divided as to bring about confusion among ourselves, and in the confusion will come the success of the plan laid out by those who are organizing to keep us where we are until we are completely destroyed. AGENTS PLEASE READ Please send your orders for papers to reach the office of the Negro World on or before Friday, one week before the date of issue (Saturday). Send money along with your orders, otherwise they will not be sent. State whether money is sent for subscription or for "special order." -Write your name plainly. Give street and number. Post Office box or Route. If you want to increase your supply of papers be sure and state it clearly in your letter. What do I mean by that? I mean that: that the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands out at this time on a platform of equity, of justice, of liberty, of freedom for the Negro. Everybody knows it to be a just cause. No one knows it better than those who robbed and exploited and murdered us for over three hundred years. They know it is the program sought by all people, and that it is the program that should be supported by all people who know themselves to be the creatures of God. Their pose is in true freedom, liberty, true democracy by ourselves, because they have always held us as slaves, and they will always keep us as slaves to suit their convenience, provided we let them do that. So as to keep us slaves, so as to be able to use us as they doin', until they feel that they can do compulsively without us, they have instated, they have started, they have subsidized counter-propaganda, counter-movements, some of them having the same appearance as your own Universal Negro Improvement Association, movements that actually try to do the same thing you are trying to do, movements coming out with the same program you have view of, in the idea of dividing and ultimately dividing you. They know that without unity there can be no success. They know well that with division among you, you will fight among yourself, and therefore there will never come a conflict with them—that is between us and them. Negroes Subsidized to Oppose Negroes The propaganda that is subsidized to carry on the work of opposition is being done through our own people. The Pan-African Congress, held in France the other day, and in Belgium and in England, was nothing else but a disinformation effort. The intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and not only the Pan-African Congress, but other movements, too, have been organized and are being subsidized to defeat Negro opinions. Some belong to the Pan-African Congress, some belong to African Blood Brotherhood, some belong to other movements, and by the division among all of us we will be in such confusion that nothing will be attained. Negro Support of Negro Leadership Imperative I went you to realize this—that where your liberty, where your freedom is concerned, there should be but one policy for you, and that policy should be Negro leadership, and Negro support of Negro leadership. (Applause.) Where other things are concerned, as religion, social life, or industrial life, we can afford to admit into association other races; but where your liberty is concerned, where your freedom is concerned, no one should be allowed but yourselves. (Applause.) Because to the liberty must be won from some one if you haven't got it. If you haven't liberty, and you are struggling for it, you will have to get it from some one; you are in desperation of it. How then can you afford to accept into your association, into your companionship, into your executive councils, men who have kept you from getting your liberty, and those who are opposed to the progress you are making for your liberty? It is illogical. If Africa is to be freed from Europe she has got to be made free upon her own initiative, free from any alliance or aid from Europeans Africans cannot expect Europe to help free Africa when Europe is the country that keeps Africa in subjection. It is illogical. Entangling Alliances Not to Be Encouraged Here we have Negro institutions, Negro organizations in this country, and in different parts of the world, subsided by white men; some of them by white men as their executive officers; some of them are engineered in such a skillful way not to have white men show themselves, but white men's own skills; and some of them are certain time those who support the propaganda with their finance will be able to dictate the policy of the organization. I want you to realize, therefore, that where your liberty, where your freedom is concerned, you cannot afford to encourage entangling alliances and entangling associations and affiliations, because if liberty is to be won from a certain government, you cannot afford to let that government be your enemy. I want you to analyze well associations and organizations that are endeavoring by their programs to fight for the liberty of Africa. They are meant only to de cave. It is only an intention to create division in your ranks, knowing well that nothing can be achieved through division. U. N. I. A. Now a World Power I think the Universal Negro Improvement Association has passed the experimental stage. It has passed the control of any one man, or the control of any two or three men, or otetie of man. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has become a world power, and has grown from its childhood as an organization to its full bloom. I am not saying that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only Negro movement we should have, but I say it should be the only Negro movement as far as liberty is concerned, for the simple reason that we cannot afford to be divided where the fight for liberty is concerned. If there is division of any army on the battlefield, it means that the battle is lost, that more men on the battleplains of life united; therefore, if our objective is a free Africa for the liberation of Negroes, we should have but one organization, because when the command is given it should come from but one general. If you have ten generals giving counter-commands, you are bound to be defeated. Therefore, I want you to realize that we are living in dangerous times. We are living in times when you cannot afford to say "Let us do that, let us do this," as far as this organization is concerned, we must have a certain policy; we must have either one or the other. The one that means liberty must be done wholly by yourselves, because no race, no other race, is going to give you liberty, especially when that race oppresses you and is succeeding at your expense, as has been the case during the last three hundred years. For the last 300 years the white man has been our oppressor and he naturally is not going to liberate you. He is not going to liberate you to the higher freedom, the higher liberty—the true democracy. You have to liberate yourselves. And I am warning you at this time that many efforts are being made to subvert the higher aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is counter-propaganda, and I want you to watch out for it. If you do not allow a white man to trick me or to deceive me I prefer to die. I feel that the time has come for the Negro in politics—for the Negro in his desire for government to do for himself. If he is not prepared to do that he may as well throw up the sponge. No one will give you liberty but yourself and you must get it through organization. I think the Negro is right at the stage now when he can start himself for his own liberty. If you have not arrived at that stage you should not support the cause of liberty and I think we are sufficiently equipped today as we are. It does not take so much money; it is not money so much that will win this cause. It is unity of organized Greeces and we will win out in the great cause of dreadness and liberation, and the world knows it, and the world is not going to give you your freedom so easily. They will use every means at their disposal to prevent you from acquiring Africa because of the greatest continent before the richest continent the world just at this time. Africa is the most resourceful continent in the world at this time, and the future nations of the world will exist at the expense of Africa, and it is for us now in the interest of freedom and realizing that Africa is looking to us, to fight for the salvation of Africa. They will tell you in America that you are not related to the Africans, that you have nothing in common with them. They will tell the Africans at home that they are not related to the Negroes over here in Africa they tell the Africans they are better than the Negroes over here than the Africans over there. And so there is propaganda all over to divide us. But thank God, through the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all Negro know that we are one people; we shall live as one people and we shall die as one people. (Applause) Do Not Allow Yourselves to Be Defeated Some of us because of our selfish desire, because of our selfish ends allow ourselves to be used for the carrying out of the purposes of others in deacting the higher aims and effects of this organization. It is the desire to keep Africa divided; it is the desire to keep Africa exploited; it is the desire to keep Negroes fighting themselves and they will employ some of us and give us large sums of money; they will spend thousands of dollars to support and wage a campaign to deceive and divide the race, and because of what we can get for ourselves personally we allow ourselves to be used as the tools; but the God who is the Creator of mankind; God who is never asleep. I feel sure is watching his achievement, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They have used all kinds of means to defeat the Universal Negro Improvement Association; they have used prophets; they have used saints; they have used all kinds of names; they called us theresa; they call us unimportant people; they say we do not know how to do business; they try to embarrass us in business; they say we do not know anything about because and they are attempting to other ways to discourage from carrying out our industrial and business activities. Everything that has done to the minds of this organization, but thank God, we have a new Negro here—a new Negro who realizes that liberty does not mean dollars and cents. Liberty, means in certain cases our way. We must realize that to give our last chance, afraid may be free. Those of you who have been connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association for two or three years will recall the continued propaganda of criticism against the Universal Negro Improvement Association: the continued program of criticism against the Black Star Line. You have seen the Negro newspapers lying against the Black Star Line and against the Negro Postmaster Corporation. It was out a certain intention. They who are opposed to us know the psychology of the people; they know the psychology of our race. If you can create suspicion among them you have them defeated. Thank God four million of us have been able to rise above suspicion—four million of us realize in the fight to free Africa and to emancipate ourselves, and when the deception comes we are disillusioned. We all race have pointed in a like manner to success. They have had their traitors and we will have ours too. Therefore do not be discouraged by the acts of the traitors do not be discouraged by what others may do or say. counter propaganda against us, but continue the good work for the good that will accrue to us as a people today and tomorrow. Again I must who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the loyalty you have displayed, for the devotion you have given to this grand an noble cause. I say continue the work because the victory is drawing high. Just imagine, four years ago the Belgian Congo was under tutelage, four years ago Portuguese Africa was under tutelage, four years ago South Africa was under tutelage the Negro—the nation of the Negro the Congo the Negro of the Congo the Negro of the Portuguese colonies, the Negro of South Africa is speaking out in the language of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and declaring for an African National Party (Applaus). We have achieved greatness in four years, and if I die tonight or if I die tomorrow or ten years from now or fifty years from now, I will go to my grave feeling satisfied that I did my duty to my race and my God. (Applaus). In struggling toward this higher end of a Free Africa some of us must make up our minds even for death; and as for me, I am prepared to die at any time. I am prepared to die at any time. I must compromise; tell me that I must back down, tell me that I must apologize, I say let me die. Almighty God at the hour; because there is no apology in liberty; there is no compromise in liberty. There is a straight fight for liberty and some of us must die before liberty perches on the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applaus). SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS SPEAKS. Sir William H. Fervis, Assistant President General and literary editor of the Negro World, was the first speaker of the evening, and among other things said Twelve years ago the news swept over the country that Dr Du Bois had been inspected by Moorteld Storey, then a lawyer and philanthropist, and by Owald Garsson Villard, editor of the Nation, and pronounced to be fit for Negro leadership, and the people it was a big thing for a black man in books, manners, morals and dress, and they threw up their hands and said hurrah. But two years ago the news was flashed over the world that black men could not only be apt pupils of white men—not only could they imitate white men, but could construct and create on their own hook, and that is the reason why the Negroes of the world were thrilled when the Yarmouth set sail. It was not a large boat and it was not a new boat, but it was the spirit behind the launching of the Black Star Line that thrilled the Negro world and surprised the white world. The same spirit that William the Conqueror manifested when he crossed the Channel and wrested the kingship from King Harold—the same spirit which they crushed the Alps; the same spirit which Columbus showed when he launched on a cruiser and discovered a new continent in the Hon. Marous Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Line when they launched the Yarmouth. And it was because the world was made conscious of the fact that a new spirit of initiative, daring courage and energy had taken possession of the Negro that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is respected. U. N. I. A. Has Shown Moral Stimula The Universal Negro Improvement Association has shown a moral stamina and ability to face obstacles to stand hammering as no other Negro organization has stood, and it is meaning of the as stamina that has been exhibited by the members of the U. N. L. A. that the world believes that it is an organization which is here to stay. We have had a great many men to connect themselves with our ranks. Some of them have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Men of Character Needed Men of Character Needed What Marus Garvey needs is man of character. In the scriptures they speak about a man who built his house on the shifting sands and the other man who built his house on a rock. Well, man who has no character is like the shifting sands, and the man who has character is like a rock—the rock upon which New York city and Harlem have been built. Because when a man has character and beauty you can upon him. The reason why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is delaying deep in the soil of human beings is because it has already realized that no other societies have that race; that depends entirely upon another race to life it up, and carry it its使命 will always very far. no matter how much, love there is! in your nature; no matter how much pay, you get: by your caring; a yam all the time, unless a man somehow, or else gives the strength to stand on his feet and walk he. will to left in the "turch"; and that applies to the Negro. And & is because of the constructive program of the Libertian 'Construction Loan' and the Black Star Line and the Negro Factories Corporation which will put a 'Foundation' and bedrock in the Negro; that the U. M. Y. A. is something more than a wind-lamming organization, because it is built upon the solid rock. (Amplified.) DR. G. M. GRANDISON SPEAKS Dr. G. M. GRANDISPEAR Rev. Dr. C. M. Grandism was then introduced and spoke as follows. Your Secretary, the President General and Provisional President of Africa, Members of the High Executive Council, officers and members of the local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Society, the President General moment of my life. This is the first time in a long career when I have had the privilege of addressing such a large intelligent and representative body of colored man and women, I have spoken to a larger body of men and women than this, but they were not all colored, and they had me there, as Douglas used to say, "to give color to the occasion." (Laughter.) I have spoken. I believe, to about 10,000 white men and women and colored man and women in Atlanta, Ga., some twenty-odd years ago, but this is the first time in the history of my life when I have stood face to face with such a body of colored men and women. I do not like that word "colored." I have never been colored myself. I think the old grammarians tell us that colored is the perfect particle of color, and that one had been colored. I have not gone through any process myself; I was just born this way (laughter), and I do not like the word "colored." I prefer the word Negro. I was given to us in opprobrium, but I believe that under God we are going to make the name the most respected under the sun of heaven. (Applauses.) Negro Leadership I am going to talk to you on Negro Leadership. Every distinctive group of people must have its own leaders. A man to be a leader must represent the people. The word "represent" is made up of two words: "to" "present". A people have in them certain desires, certain longings, certain yearnings, certain hopes and ambitions and aspirations, and where a people have a separate and distinct life they have a separate and distinct yearning and aspiration and unless a white man can turn to be a Negro he cannot represent a Negro. A man cannot represent a thing unless it is in him; and no man who is not a Negro, who does not feel all that a Negro feels, who does not sympathize with him, who does not weep when he heeps and rejoice when he rejoices, who does not carry in his bosom the same spirit and aspiration of the people cannot represent a people. And that is one reason we have been centently among ourselves. The fact is that the deep subconsciousness of the Negro nature has not yet been sounded. It is being sounded and wherever it is being sounded it is being awakened, and by and by, when the Negro comes into full race consciousness, then a great many men who are trying to lead will have to hunt an other job. The Qualities of Leadership The Qualities of Leadership not only must a leader be a representative representing a people—he must interpret to the people; he must tell the people what is in their own hearts; he must gather together the people who are the bombs; in their own minds, yet unable to express them. This leader must come to the people and interpret to the people what is in their hearts. He must not only interpret to the people; he must interpret for the people; not only tell the people what they want and must have; he must tell other people from whom he would secure their rights and privileges what his people want. He must take no compromising stand; he must not get on the force, but he must stand flatfooted on the eternal principle of right and look into the faces of the enemies of his people and say, "Run up the white flag or I propose to move immediately upon your works." He must interpret to the people and then he must be thoroughly loyal to the people; loyal to the cause; he must be a man of vision; he must have faith in himself. No man is fit to lead who has not faith in himself—failure in his own innate. Inability, faith in the glory of God, faith in the faith of the people, in the man whom God does not talk to, fit to lead. God takes His leader side and whispers into his car. It is not the voice of thunder; it is not the voice of lightning; it is not the voice of an earthquake but it is the still small voice that God whispers into the soul of the man that He would have lead a people. It is the love of God that makes him feel that he is God's man, in God's place, doing God's work in God's way, and the man who gets that faith in himself does not care for money for the sake of money, does not care for repitation, does not care for the applause of the fickle multitude unless he has the strength to fight. But he is a man who stands out for the right because he believes that back of him is Almighty God and the battles of heaven. He is a man who has faith in his people, faith in their possibilities, faith in their achievement, faith in their future. He is on the mountain himself, and he knows that he has come from the ranks of the people and believes that they can climb to the same heights to which he has attained himself. And the man who has come from the ranks of the people he is not fit to try to be a leader. He called Nelson. These are today a lot of goofed Kevin Medley saying that the MP3 program is too big to be put on. "Too big, why?", if white jim works at the head, he'd, they wouldn't be able to win. the head of it and black men mitted it and black men are controlling it, these little namby-penny, these little selphyn, these "two-by-two" Ness leader, say it cannot be put over. If white men can put it each, a Negro leader says black men can put it over, too. (Great applause.) The God wrapped up in black men every quality of thought and feeling and achievement that he wrapped up in white men, and God intends that the black race shall rise up some day in the strength of its renaissance manhood, free from the thraldom of the white man's thoughts and ideas, and taking his ideas and his thoughts and catching his inspiration from black hearts and black lines shall rise to the imperial heights, where all other races have arisen. (Appearance.) That is what a leader must have—vision, faith in himself, and faith in God. A Real Leader Not Purchasable A Real Leader Not Pursueable Then a real leader is unpursuable; gold cannot distance him. He does not care for money, as I said a while ago, for the sake of money. He stands for the truth, and he knows he stands for the truth, and he is so intent on carrying forward the work of his people that money cannot buy him. (Appears.) Place of Birth Nothing to Do With Real Leadership I am sorry to say that I hear a great many people talk about our gallant leader being a West Indian. I don't care where he was born; I don't care it he was born in the Fiji Islands; I don't care if he was born in Africa; I don't care if he was born on the sea, or anywhere she is in the world, so long as he has the spirit of the living God in him, and has the interest of his race at heart. (Applause.) **Gearup Another Characteristic** A leader must have courage. Only must he have an eagle eye, but he must be lion-hearted, and he must face the dangers that come to him, he must not be afraid to die. A real leader would as leave go to heaven by the way of the gallows or by any other way if he dies for his people. A real leader looks to the prize of that alone, and says, "In the coming day, God will take care of me; I am a mortal until my work is done. I am talking about Negro leadership, remember." The Right Man in the Right Place and at the Right Time The proof it at our gallant leader is the right man, in the right place, and at the right time, is the display of his genius in four particulars. First, his genius is seen in the conception of the idea of such an organization as the Universal Negro improvement Association. His genius is seen, in the second place, in his ability, not only to dream, but to put the idea into concrete form and practical application. Lots of people dream. I have been dreaming, myself (Laughter.) Lots of people dream. The people of India dreamed; they dreamed out of their hearts and quit of their minds and out of the brains the greatest philosophical and religious systems ever evolved out of the brain and heart of men; but that is all as for as they have gotten. A man who can conceive, and dream, is doing pretty well, but the man who can not only dream, but who can conceive the dream into a practical organization that is benefiting mankind, and thus transmit to distant generations the fulfilment of his dream, is a genius, and our gallant leader shows his genius in not only dreaming, but also in concreting his dreams and bringing them to pass. Garvey's Methods of Appeal not only that, but the Ibn. Marcus Garvey has shown his genius by appealing to that which is fundamental in the Negro. He appeals to the spectacular. It is in the Negro; we have always loved the pomp and ceremony of the court we always loved paraphrasemph. Oh, yes, that the reason why we studied astronomy long before the white man knew astronomy. The Negro and pierced into the heavens and watched with captivated delight the sun, moon and stars, and by the bethenity of his powerful intellect brought down the sun, moon and stars to be weighed, to be measured, to have their distances calculated, and their days, and years and months all曼anced. Long before the white man know higher mathematics, the big-footed, thick-lipped, flat-nosed, woolly-headed Negro, on the banks of the Nile, had invented geometry. Long before the white man know higher mathematics (which he says I cannot learn) the Negro understood the principles of alchemy, which the white man today classes among the lost arts; for nothing short of the great mechanical powers that the Negro invented could have elevated massive stones four hundred feet high in building the great Pyramids of Egypt, the wonder of the world. Yet the Negro has always loved and beautiful object. He coached his obituary away upender towards the hazzard, to catch the first steps of the evening sun, and on which lingers the first mellow rays of departing day. And our great leader knows how to appeal to this love that is innate in the Negro, and that is the reason for these handguns, beautiful multi-colored gowns, and these fine ribes that are worn by the officers of the association. You have got them, because you are building a structure of music, in which the same and daughter of the far-distant future will leave the songs of "Noses and the Lamb." The Negro is Nothing if Not Religious The Negro is nothing if he is not religious. And our leader shows his genius in appealing to this other fundamental characteristic of the Negro religion. The Negro is, say, nothing if he does not believe in God, else, I thank God, that you, as a leader, do not ignore, God, Don't leave God out of the account, the God who did on the rim of the earth and who knew his sony, spoke to our little earth, and made it unto us, according thereof, and did the prize the Great God who loved us in the past, the lesser man, and the lesser man, the lesser man. in the armament; say the great Jupiter, away every undan come into being and took its place among the other planets. The Great God, who spoke and commanded the stars to march and keep pace with the sun; that God that incarnated Himself and was born in a cradle, to a manager and went on Calvarys hill, burdened with the moses, with Nero blood in his veins, and died for all mankind. He is the Negro God (Appease.) And He is not the white man's God only; my God is a composite being. Illustrious Negroes of the Past Commenced Now, to compare our leaders; let us see where they stand ablaze of other leaders. Some men in our race, in the day and generation, have reached the imperial heights, and I understand that they stand upon an altitl to the sunlight is always bright, and where the air is always pure, and the good and the great in all ages past have paid their homage to them. Yonder stands one: he is standing with Coppermine, Gallileo, Harecail, Sir Isaac Newton, the star gazers of all the ages of the world—entronomer and Negro almanac maker. And yonder stands another, this time a woman, tender, fragile. She comes from when: "African sunny fountains and sings with mrs. Browning, Felix Hemann, whose songs are heard with delights on two Contiences in another Phyllis Wheatley. Yonder another up there, and he is Frederick Dugas. When he spoke he roared like a lion. He traveled through this country and Canada and Great Britain and created a moral sentiment against slavery which helped to break the manacles of 4,000,000 slaves, and that man is Frederick Douglass. Yonder stands another. All London that his foot and America pays homage to his genius—that is Coleridge Taylor, and he is standing with Hauser, Wagner and other great composers. "Yonder is another one; there can be mistake about his race; he is as black as the raven's wings; as black as the stormiest night, Yonder he stands with Walter Scott, with Thackeray, with Bulwer Lytton, with Charles Dickens, with Balzac, with Victor Hugo, with Nathaniel Hawthorne, with J. Fennhmore Cooper, with William Dean Howell. An angel heard him singing and so sweet, so divine, was his singing, beguiled him away to join the heavenly choir. That is our own Paul Lawrence Dunbar. An yonder stands another head and shoulders above them all—so big, so large that the world sees him. Yonder he stands; he is not honored by McKinley, or by Roosevelt or by William Howard Taft or by any of the coterie of white men who have accustomed to name and hero the negro leader. But the eyes of the negro Negroes are turned out towards him and $25,000 negroes in Africa are nothing out their abeys hands and nothing "go on with the help of God." That he stands with the great leaders of the world—with Hamden, with Clover, with Monce and Eiliph; and after a while with follow in the pathway which he beheaded for us and 500 years hence (which not long in the history of a race) you and I, from our supernal heights in Glory will look down upon a race not struggling up the mountain, but standing upon the summit of a lofty civilization clad in garments of real beauty and majesty shaking the earth beneath their might trod, and Go—ungles will come to crown us at las. or the leadership of that intrepid, honest, pure-hearted, pure-minded patriarch Negro, Marous Garvey. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Mon, J. Vance Lewis Speaks Mon, J. Vance Lewis Speaks The next speaker was Hon. J. Vance Lewis of Texas, who prefaced his address with a few complimentary references to the singers who participated in the musical program. He then proceeded to speak on the subject: "Must we go back home or must we bow to the mandates of their Dagt" In a forceful and logical argument urged the wisdom of Negroes seeking to establish a super-government in Africa that will still out pre-eminently among the other nations of the world, God, the speaker said, has called Marous Garvey to lead his people and be was answering the call, who was his (the speaker's) intention to go through the South and tell the Negroes the South to get on board and join hands with the Negroes of the North and South and East and West and all over the world in an effort to establish a government of our own in Africa where there will be no lynching, no burning, no segregation, no discrimination.

On a Summons— Charge: Criminal Libel. Before HON. H. & HENAUD, City Magistrate. New York, October 20, 1921. Appearances: For the People $2. LWENCH, Esq. Deputy Assistant District Attorney. For the Defendants W. H. SMITH, Esq. Attorney-at-Law. It was stipulated between the District Attorney and counsel for the defendant that the testimony taken on the summons shall stand as the testimony on the complaint trany be ordered by the defendant after hearing the testimony. Cyril Brigna, the complaining witness, being duly sworn, certified as follows: By the Court: Q. What is your name? A. Cyril Brigna. Q. Where do you live? A. 229 Seventh avenue. Q. What is your occupation? A. Publisher. Q. What do you publish? A. The Crusader. Q. What is that? A. magazine. By District Attorney: Q. Is that a weekly or monthly publication? A. Monthly. Q. You are the complainant against this defendant? A. Yes. Q. Just state to the Court what your complaint is on. 一 Defendante's Counsels I object The matter he claims to be librarians should be produced first, not let him go with his story first. If that matter is in writing, it should be produced. The Court: The definition of libel is the malicious publication by writing, etc. It must be in writing, printing, picture, affray, or otherwise than by more speech. Q. Do you know the defendant here? Defendant's Counsel: We admit it. A. Yes, I do. Q. How long have you known the defendant? A. About three years. Q. Do you know what business he is in? A. Yes, sir. Q. What? A. He is managing editor of The Negro World, and also President-General of the U. N. I. A, a Negro organization. Defendant's Counsel: If Your Honor please, I object. The Court: How does that hurt you? Defendant's Counsel: It is im-material. We want to get at the meat of the case. The Court: I will allow it. Go ahead. Q. Did you get his publication, and read it? A. Regularly. We exchange. Q. You exchange publications? A. Yes, sir. Q. What is the date of the publication which you bring the summons on? A. The dates are October 8. October 15 and October 22. Q. The publication of this defendant? A. Yes, sir. Q. In which is the libelous matter? A. Yes, sir. Q. Have you copies of it here? A. Yes, I have, sir. By District Attorney: Q. Let us see the first one, October 8. S. Point out to me where the matter is. Q. That contains the same statement? A. Yes. And the next is October 22, which issue came out the day after I had served the summons on him. By the Court: Q. Are they all the same? A. Yes. sir. Q. The advertisement in the numbers of October 8, October 15 and October 23, 1921, are all the same ad? A. Yes. sir. By District Attorney: Q. Did you negotiate with the defendant to put any ad in the newspaper at all? A. Not at all, sir. District Attorney: I offer these papers in evidence as People's Exhibits 1, 9 and 10. The Court: Admitted. Mark them. The papers were marked People's Exhibits 1, 9 and 8. Q. Did you enter any injury from these ads in the paper? A. Yes, etc. I did, and do. Defendant's Counsel: I object, and move to strike out the answer. The Court: Strife is out. District Attorney: Your witness. Defendant's Counsel: I move at the time to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the motion complained of is not librarian. There is nothing these affection will attempt to accomplish in this matter. I may write to Your Story that while there may be something in the affair that is not that a white man is a paper man, he librarians there are not librarians on the set, doing things that is not --- that a negro is a white man is libelous. In Cuba and the West Indies, a man of the color of this complainant is white; and he is a white man here. If he is called a white man there is no reason for him to complain. By the Court: Q. Where were you born? A. In the West Indies. I am naturalized. Q. Are you of the negra blood, or white blood? A. Yes, sir; I am of negro blood, and I am a negro in the United States, as the American courts have said also. Q. What do you mean, the United States Courts have held? Have they decided your case, that you are a negro? A. It has taken up, then, several times, Your Honor. There is a statement there by a lawyer, Your Honor. This statement is marked at the end of the page there, Your Honor. (Witness hands the book a book). Q. Where were you born, you say? A. In the West Indies. Q. Were your parents Negroes? A. My mother was, and my grand parents were both Negroes. Q. Your father was not a Negro? A. No, Your Honor. Q. Your mother was? A. Yes. Q. Where was she born? A. In the West Indies, also. Q. Where was your father born? A. In England, Your Honor. Q. Your father was an Englishman and your mother was a colored woman of the West Indies? A. Yes, Your Honor. Q. From the West Indica? A. Yes. My mother is here also, Your Honor, in the Court. Q. Your mother is in the court room? A. Yes, sir. Your Honor. The Court: Your motion to dismiss is denied. Counselor, must you give me permission I ask a question. Your Honor? The Court: You have a lawyer to talk for you. I have denied your motion. Q. Were you ever taken for a white man? District Attorney: I object. That is immaterial. The Court: Objection sustained. Undoubtedly you are of the Negro race. Defendant's Counsel: I want to show his color, complication. Q. What is your complication? A. I only know that I am a Negro, and that I have lived as a Negro, and the success of my business is dependent upon it. Defendant's Counsel: I want the record to show it. The Court: The man says that he has Negro blood in him by his mother. That makes him a Negro irrespective of his color. Defendants' Counsel: I want to show to Your Honor that he is white in color, complication. The Court: The Courts have held that a man with one drop of Nigro blood in him is a Negro. Dundanty's Gounsei: We merely state he is white. The Court: You state he is a Negro for convenience. Defendant's Counsel: But his compulsion is white, and I want the record to show that. The Court: The fact that his compulsion may be white does not make him a white man. You state in this ad. that he is a Negro for convenience. Defendant's Counsel: Is calling a man a white man a crime, libelation. The Court: I didn't say that. Defendant's Counsel: What does it do to hold him up to contempt? The Court: Anything tending to injure any person, corporation, etc., in his or their business or occupation. Defendant's Counsel: He doesn't claim to be injured in his business or occupation. Complaining Witness (Behring): I certainly do. The Court: It would seem from the advertisement itself that it is an endeavor to prevent him from organizing the African Blood Brotherhood. Defendants Counsel: They serve a suit for injury to a man in business. This is an criminal libel, and there must be libel per se to constitute the crime of libel-criminal libel. It is not sufficient that he is engaged. There must be a case of libel per se, but hold him up to consent of the accused to accuse him of a crime, so that he has some incontestable damage, or was convicted of a crime. The Court: You are wrong on your law, counsel. I have the law right before me, and my unauthorized publication, whether written or printed, a picture of injury, with or without which has been intended to injure any person, corruption or organization of persons, in law or their business by occupation is libel. Detendant's Counsel. It must also be insinuated, pursued and must be vindicated by the evidence of the person or circumstances, as served him of a crime. The Court] For its reading to civil Ibid. Detendants Counsel. Located for all such offences here. The Court I have it right here? Do you dispute the law? Defendant's Consent: My client wishes to examine the witness. The Court: You can't have an examination by two. Either one or the other may examine. Either consent appears for the defendant, or the defendant appears in person. One or the other. Defendant's Counsel: My client has a countercharge to make. He desires to file a countercharge. The Courts There cannot be any countercharge in a criminal case. Did you ever hear of a countercharge in a criminal action? Defendant's Counsel: Not exactly. But he has a charge to make against the complaint for malicious publications. The Court: If he has a complaint to make, he knows what to do. Defendant: I came to court to ask for a summons for criminal libel against him, and they said you would hear it at this hearing. The Court: Have you any further questions to ask? By Defendant's Counsel: Q. You are very unfriendly to this defendant? A. No, I am not. District Attorney. I object to that as immaterial. The Court: Objection sustained. Defendant's Counsel: Exception. Q. You have been publishing matter against him? District Attorney: Objected to emmaterial. The Court: Objection sustained. If you have any old magnist him make it in the regular way. Defendant's Counsel: Exception. Q. You are organising a competing organization? The Court: Counselor, did you read section 1842 of the Penal Law? Defendant's Counsel? Yes, Your Honor. The Court: You did read it? Defendant's Counsel I have read it. Q: There is always between you and the defendant, is there not? District Attorney I object. The Court: Gathering continued. Defendant's Counsel: Exception. By the Court: Q. You say you sustained injury by this publication? A. I have. District Attorney: That is sufficient. By Defendant's Counsel: Q. Have you lost your position? Have you lost any position? A. I haven't any position to lose. I am a publisher. Q. Have you lost any money? A. Yes, I have. It has caused me expense so hurt, and it has brought upon me ridicule and even threat, also. G. Is that all you have, six? A. I have been called up on the phone; I have also been threatened on the street. I have been passing groups of what I call Garevites in Harlem; that is, the special followers of Marcus Garvey. They have made remarks against me. Q. When was that? A. I have the publication of these papers. G. Was the publication referred to by the person or persons threatening you? A. No, but the words used are the very words used in there. G. Was the publication referred to by the parties threatening you? A. Yes. G. Don't you publish such curious article against Marcus Garvey? District Attorney: I object. The Court's Question installed. Defendant's Commal Exception. Q. Won't it because of appurtenances publications? District Attorney's object: The Court: Obstantial guaranteed. I warn you not to carry on that opinion examinable. If you wish to make a charge for this, kind against the charge to go to the clerk's office. After you have done, have and make your complaint. Mr. Donaldson's was arrested. I want to show The Court: You are not going about it in the right way. Defendant's Counsel: May not cross examine him on that! The Court: As to the point in facts, not anything else.

The people have not passed you. Let get it all in a quiet, beaten day.

The Court: Of what? Defendin' a Counsel! That. I spend the show and must take the the consequences. The Court: I am not trying the case. I am a committing Mag- istrate. Mark it in evidence. The paper was marked People's Entrust a. Dividend distribution will be made it, and move to strike it out. The Company motion denied and objective overruled. Q. Were you called on the telephone at all after the publication of October 18? The Court, Objection overruled. You opened the door yourself. You asked him yourself. Defendant's Counsel, Objection. Was anything ever over the telephone to you in regard to the threat that appears in the Negro World? A. No, there was. Defendant's Counsel: I object, unless he connects it up with who did it. The Court's I will allow it. Defendant's Counsel: Exception. Q. Did you know who was talking to you over the telephone? A. No, sir. Q. You couldn't tell the voice? A. No, sir. Q.

NEW YORK, OCTOBER 29, 1821 No. 11 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. THE N. A. A. C. P. AND THE U. N. L. A. WELVE years ago the news spread around the world that white men of wealth, family prestige and professional standing had lifted Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, a Harvard Ph.D., upon their aegis and proclaimed him the most gifted living Negro. And for a few years he was the lion of the hour. He was the hottest tomale that came rolling down the African turpike. Two years ago the news fell upon the world like a bolt from the blue that Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican, had organized a steamship company and had actually purchased and launched a steamship. A year ago last summer the world was more startled when it heard that the same Garvey had packed Madison Square Garden to the very doors and for thirty-one days held a convention of Negro delegates assembled from the four quarters of the globe. In Dr. Du Bois it saw a Negro who could learn what white men taught in books—morals, manners and dress; in Marcus Garvey a Negro of imagination, originality and initiative. THE N. A. A. C. P. It seems to us that there is no necessary antagonism between the N. A. A. C. P. and the U. N. I. A. Usually in any organization the men of training, welfare and prestige control. There are brainy men and women of color in the N. A. A. C. P. like Grimke, Du Bois, Johnson, Pickens and Miles Forset; but none of them have the wealth, prestige and standing that some of the white leaders in the move have. And never in nature do we find the fall swagger the dog or the tail directing the kite. Take Moorfield Storey, for instance. He comes of a distinguished family. He is one of the most distinguished lawyers, writers and philanthropists in America. He was Charles Sumner's private secretary. He has served as president of the American Bar Association and as president of the Anti-Imperialistic League. He is probably the most distinguished private citizen in New England. His word carries great weight in the country. He was elected president of the N. A. A. C. P., not because he was white, but because of the prestige of his name. Then take Oswald Garrison Villard, a man whom we by no means love. He is not a brainlion man that Dr. Du Bois or Hon. Archibald Grimke. But he has ancestry, wealth and the control of one of the most powerful weekly magazines in the country. He was first elected chairman of the Executive Committee of the N. A. A. C. P. and then treasurer, not because he was white, but because of his influence and force of character. When men form an organization or church or business corporation they put at the head the then of the greatest prestige and highest standing. So if men of the prestige, calibre and standing of Messrs. Storey and Wallard are in the N. A. A. C. P. it is natural that they should play a prominent part and that their prestige, standing and influence should be capitalized to the sixth degree. Inasmich as 95 per cent. of the American Negroes are largely dependent for their chance to earn their bread and butter upon the good-will and confidence of the Caucasian it is advisable that some men of weight, health and influence in the Caucasian races be kindly disposed to the Negro and throw their weight and Influence in his favor. And it is a wise move to get white men of influence interested in the Negro. The black workmen needs friends at court. So there is a real need for an organization like the N. A. A. C. P. if it confines itself to elevating the civic, political, legal and economic status of the Negro instead of making and unmaking Negro leaders, setting them up and knocking them down like tempins and endeavoring to determine "Who is who in the Negro race." Black men have demurred at their white friends selecting leaders for them, because their white friends did not usually by a critical and analytical survey of the man, select the one best suited by ability and persequency to lead the black hosts, and a joke is a plastic man they can mold and use or a genteel man socially acceptable to them. Thus they selected Dr. Booker T. Washington, who commanded executive and administrative ability but lacked the required intellectual equipment. Then they selected Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, who commanded the required institutional equipment and the culture and the amenities that is an asset in social circles but couldn't size up men well enough that it can magnetize the black masses. Both Dr. Washington and Dr. DuBois possessed ability of a certain kind, but not the required The U. N. N. A. has no quarrel with the N. A. A. C. P. Only the H. N. I. A. believes that the Negro race will impress the world more by it does on its own infallibility and under its own腕 than what we are following the lead of men of other races. Hence the U. N. I. A. not desire the N. A. A. C. P. destroyed or broken up. It only desires to show to the world that the Negro can plan and lead as well as mankind follow and can do big things on his own hook. It does not THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1921 Caucasian. The world knows that the Negro is imitative. The world knows that the Negro has shown, remarkable aptitude in absorbing and assimilating Anglo-Saxon civilization. But the U. N. I. A. is teaching black men and the white world that the Negro also possesses the creative and constructive ability, the imagination to conceive and the will to execute vast plans. That is why the U. N. I. A. has thrilled black men everywhere and impressed white men everywhere as no other Negro movement has. When one representing the other of the Province's city is operating, I am an Odd Fallon years standing, also a about the same period, in installing a branch of did we pay the gov't or a compliment as we ing of the U. N. I. A. The U. N. I. A., the Black Star Line and the Negro Factories Corporation have dazzled the world, not so much because of the colossal things already accomplished as because of the revelation of an awakened soul in the Negro. The same courage and initiative that William the Conqueror manifested when he crossed the English Channel and wrested the crown from King Harold at Hastings, the same spirit that Hannibal and Napoleon manifested when they crossed the Alps, the same spirit that Columbus manifested when no sailed across an unknown sea and discovered a new continent, the same spirit that the Pilgrim fathers manifested when they crossed the Atlantic in the Mayflower and planted a new commonwealth in bleak and barren New England, the same spirit that Toussaint L'Ouverture manifested when he threw off the Spanish, French and English yoke was manifested by the U N. I. A. when it backed the Black Star Line, sent the Yarmouth out of the New York Harbor into the Caribbean Sea and entered the field of commerce. The value of the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line cannot be measured by dollars and cents, although money is all powerful on these mundane shores and is the thermometer which registers modern success. But their value lies in the fact that they indicate that the sons and daughters of Ethiopia have awakened from the sleep of centuries and instead of waiting for something to turn up are beginning to turn up something themselves. The value of these organizations resides in the fact that they strike a new note to which the Negro's soul sympathetically responds, that they call upon the Negro to go out and achieve, to carve out his destiny and write a new page in the world's history as his ancestors did centuries ago on the banks of the Nile and the isle of Meroe when they laid the foundations of the world's astronomy, mathematics, architecture and philosophy. When the immense crowds that now pack and crowd Liberty Hall, New York, shall no longer tread these terrestrial shores, when the spirit of His Excellency the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis shall have gone back to the Father of Spirits, the desires, hopes, ambitions and aspirations which the U N I A and the Black Star Line have generated in the soul of the new Negro will live on, inspiring him not only to demand a man's chance and a man's status in the world, but to put forth his energy and exert his will in mastering modern science, industry, commerce and politics, cultivating farms, building up factories, sailing the seven seas and developing a continent, thus making his own place in the world. THE KU KLUX KLAN: A QUERY BEFORE the congressional committee that investigated the Ku Klux Klan and finally dropped the investigation, Rev Simmons, the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, dropped to his knees, bowed his head and shed tears, exclaiming: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," or words to that effect. He stated that the Ku Klux Klan was a patriotic, law-abiding organization and was not hostile to Negroes. On page 754 of volume II of "The African Abroad," published in 1913, this is what we said of the Ku Klux Klan after a calm and passionate study of it: "Such, in part, was the code of the Black Laws which were rendered null and void by the Fourteenth Amendment. But the South spurned the Fourteenth Amendment, and then the Fifteenth Amendment was passed. Still the South was not conquered yet, members of the Ku Klux Klans, secret, oath-bound societies, disguised with masks and armed to the teeth, rode at night, committed depredations and did their bloody work. They first rose in Louisiana and vented their wrath upon colored men and their white political sympathizers. Hon James G. Blaine said 'Over two thousand persons were killed, wounded or otherwise injured in Louisiana within a few weeks of the Presidential election of 1868.' The State was overrun by violence, midnight raids, secret murders and open riots. In one parish the Ku Klux Klans killed and wounded over two hundred Republicans, hunting and chasing them for two days through the fields and swamps. Over twenty-five bodies were found in one place in the woods." Dr. William A. Sinclair, on page 36 of his admirable book, "The Aftermath of Slavery," says "The horrors of cruelties of the Ku Klux Klans in Louisiana were fully rivaled in Mississippi and more or less largely sustained in each of the Southern States." If such was the Ku Klux Klan in 1868, and the present Ku Klux Klan is a patriotic, law-abiding and peace-loving organization, why does it take the name and don the mask of the infamous organization of 1868? Does not the name an organization assumes indicate something of its purpose, policy, principles and character? W H F. Dear Mr. Editor:—I beg of you space in your valuable paper to publish to the world the cause why the officers of Branch No. 28, U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. San Pedro de Manorana Santo Domingo are ingulhung in prison since September 8. On August 31 Branch No. 28 held a demonstration in honor of the successful termination of the second international convention of Negroes of the world. On September 3, while a meeting was in session two officers of the United States Marine Corps and about ten others them all were taken to prison without any warrant, when one of the men asked, "Why are we arrested?" the answer was "Shut your 6-d mouth." There were men, women and children. They then seized the charter, books, paper, buttons and sealed the building, property of the U. N. I. A. Next day some of the women and children were set free and the constitutional officers were kept in prison while they stalled guards around "Mazelation Hall" for five days after the arrest. The one C. A. Henry went to see them at the prison and he was locked up. On the seventh they were taken before the civil magistrate, were questioned and then repented to prison. On the ninth they were taken before the magistrate again, and questioned him to the states and objects of the U. Joining such an organization, and what benefit did they get from it? They were then found guilty of operating a society without the knowledge or consent of the government and to spread race riot. The principal officers were fined 84 each, namely, D. E. Phillips president; William Butler, second vice president; Charles Henry, third vice president; James Hallowell, general secretary; and James McCormick. The others were discharged—Historian Ellen Potter, Jane Williams, Violet Hallinga, Brothers Bridgwater, Ecoville Hloka, Rawlins and Welan. Their lawyer, Garcia, has appealed their case, as he says the fines are illegally imposed. I would like to state here that the persecution and imprisonment of these men have been from race prejudice, instigated by two white miners, one of American, the other an Englishman, and also a white lawyer, who has suffered defeat for his government job through the activities of the U. N. L. A., and not from operating a scool without the knowledge or consent of the government and to create race riot, as is charged. On or about December 15, 1918, the understated, then president of the U. N. I. A., before unveiling its charter addressed two letters, one to Admiral Snowden of the American Navy, then executive head of the Dominican Republic, informing of the opening of a branch at San Pedro de Macoría, defining its aims and objects as set forth in the preamble of the constitution, and also one to His Excellency Governor Gonzalez, civil head of the Province of San Pedro de Macoría On December 22 I received from Admiral Snowden, through his secretary, a reply approving of the society and winning its stoches. One week later I received one from Governor Gonzalez, stating also his approval and wishing its succes. tives, one representing the Republic, the other the Province in which the society is operating. I am an Odd Fellow of over ten years standing, also a Free Mason for about the same period, yet at no time in installing a branch of those societies did we pay the government so much as a compliment as we did at the opening of the U N I L A. and during the time of its continual working. In every project for social and public welfare we have been most active and have contributed more than any other fraternal society and yet we are accused of sowing seeds of discord. Because of our activities against certain white men, among whom were the British Vice-Consul and the aforementioned lawyer, who were trying to exploit our people, they were awaiting an opportunity to crush us. (His Excellency Sydney Deboue, leader of the South and Central America, can bear testimony to these activities, because he took part in them even before he came to the convention which elected him.) When I returned to Santo Domingo from the convention of 1920 it was hinted to me that this lawyer was preparing to attack us upon the grounds that our books were not registered in accordance with a commercial law (No other society has its books registered, only business corporations), so as to safeguard ourselves. I had the books registered. Thus ended all the government requirements. 1 Registered by the military government 2 Registered by the civil government 8. Registered by the municipal courts Thus after one year and nine months the military government, to please two white ministers whose Negro congregations had left them to open an independent Episcopal church, has imposed these men and is trying to deport them, so as to kill the 'I' N. I. A. and its activities, that the Negro people may return to white leadership On the 16th the officers were set free by the civil or Dominican government, but immediately arrested by the American military government. That is the case of those white despicable cowards, who get to others to do their dirty work The same way they did to me they have done to those men. Let the Dominican government make the arrest, and if they fail, then they make the arrest themselves, only in my case, both Dominican and American failed to get me. But ultimately justice and truth will conquer Are those brave men of the U N I A, suffering imprisonment because they dare to belong to an association which has asked the world for absolute equality in all things that are common to mankind Imagine one of these minisisters, who is now acting British Vice-Counsel bringing about the arrest of twelve of his Majesty's subjects, people whom he was filled there to protect and defend. By this we can see in the world today it is not a matter of nationality, but of race, white for white, against the black despite his nationality. Toll on brave men in the consciousness of the greatness of your race. We are 400 000 000 strong-with you to aid, protect and defend When history shall record the deeds of those who have suffered and bled and died for the Redemption of Africa you shall be gloriously mentioned and engraved in 'heroes' PHILIP VAN PUTTEN Priory for Santo Domingo in Negro Convention SUPERIORITY NOT ESTIMATED BY THE COLOR OF THE SKIN SUPERIORITY NOT ESTIMATED BY THE COLOR OF THE SKIN October 10 1921 To the Editor of The Negro World We of the Universal African Legion (Uniform Rank of the U N I A) like the uniform ranks of all other societies, dote to have the best and also to produce the best in us. We as a people heretofore believed that culture and intellectuality existed only among the white races, according to their teachings. We believed that superiority was estimated by the color of a man's skin or the texture of his hair, according to their teachings. We also believed that it was impossible for the Negro to be anything else than white. We even believed that it was impossible for a race to become a power and a nation but praise be to the Almighty God, creator of all mankind, that through His kindness to us as a race we are able at this time through the U N I. A. to realize the fact that the Negro race stands equal to the white race in many things, physically, morally, intellectually and spiritually. All these are facts that cannot be denied. Show our immoral post card on which the man is printed. This is one of the facts we convince me that immorality exists among the white races of the world. Show me the man in this modern time who has been able to stir up the races and nations the world over, even without a nation behind him, who also but a black man. Great was Napoleon, but he had a nation behind him. Great was Kaiser Wilhelm, but he had a nation behind him. Greater is the Hon. Macus Garvey, our matchless leader, who is saying to the world give us that which is ours. He as our commander-in-chief desires that every man who wears the uniform be true and loyal to this cause. Our duty as members of the U. A. L. is to see to that due respect be paid to our women, that the virtues of our race at large be protected, and the redemption of Africa given for us. A GREETING Editor Negro World, Dear Sir— Please allow me a little space to mention the heartfelt enthusiasm of the Puerto Padre Division No. 163 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association pertaining to the second International Convention. Rev J U OSBORNE. Ex. Beey. Puerto Padre Division. Oriente, Cuba. AERICA OUR HOPE To the Editor of the Negro World Dear Sir--Please grant me space in the most valuable paper of all to say a few words to my kin of the treatment that is accorded our brothers in allen lands. A few days ago a Negro by the name of Richard Dlert went into a Cuban business place to purchase his goods and there an inadult was given to him by a white man, and he returned it back to him. The white man hid in the house with a piece of iron and he fell to the ground, bleeding. When the policeman came he (the policeman) and the other white man said, "That's good, that is what the Negro needs." After he was taken to the station he was—go away, you drunken nigger. The next cruel act was the death of a poor Negro whose name was Daniel Clarke who was sick and sent to the hospital where he was badly treated and turned out by the doctor and a few days later he died. A certificate was found on the deceased bearing the signature of the hospital doctor. When he was to be buried the doctor (white) and his confederate charged $25 for a certificate to bury the dead Negro, step and think. Is this right? We Negroes left too much things to God, but we have come to the conclusion that the time has come for us to step forward. Another Negro was taken to the Haytian's was at the railway station when the train came with five coaches and the Haytian and the white Cubans stood on both sides of the coaches and spit on the poor Negroes and shouted, let out of our country. My brother Negroes, fix your eyes toward Africa. A next outrage on was on the farm of one Antonio Marty, a white Cuban, who had over five hundred Negro laborers working on his farm. He owed to these Negroes from $10 to $1,000 for work done on his farm. He left these poor Negroes for over four months without food or money while he led a life of luxury at a hotel in Hacana. And his major sent two of these British Negroes to jail for plucking sweet potatoes on this farm to save their lives. At Central Estrella conditions are such that about twenty-five Negroes had to work for only their meals as a stipend. At Central Cespedes also there are about fifty Negroes who were laid off without any payment of wages after five months of work, and do not know when they will be paid. White men were put back to work but the Negroes were left out. My brother Negroes: Is it not time for us to see that white man mean to kill us. May I say to you, my brethren, that we must take these things in consideration and rush to the call of our Mosque. Give your $8 for the redemption of Africa, and remember the people of Africa, and build up a government. Join the U. N. I. A. the only way for Negroes to be happy. So join and obey. In sad and loving memory of my dear sister Ade, who departed this life The month of October again is here and is the end of the year, two blisters on the nose. LADY HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS STIRRING ADDRESS DELIVERED IN THE CITY OF NEW BEDFORD, MASS., AS THE GUEST OF DIV. 180 On Sunday it was grand to listen to the vivid descriptions of the beautiful islands of the sea, and also how our people welcomed the Black Star Line ships when they entered their harbors. She referred to her great grandfather signing the Declaration of Independence, and also of herself signing the determination for Negro independence. November 24, 1919 Although the English pound was worth $485 in our money, now it is worth about $350, and her subjects are wondering if it will still drop before it rises. The next war will be among the races. The program Sunday was very well rendered, and Grosvelt was mistress of ceremonies. First was a vocal solo by Mia. Alcora William piano solo by Miss Priscilla Grobe vocal solo, Mia. Cora Arnold, and recitation by Mia. Spratt. The president of our division, Mr. Oliver Grobe, made sincere remarks concerning Lady Davis's visit, and expressed his determination to help make our division up, to the standard of any one in the U. N. L. A. Lady Vidyton Davis's advice to our division was encouraging, and she expressed pleasure to know that love reigned with us. She wants to see our division grow. Black Cross nurses and Legion boys. Don't forget the parent body. Don't neglect the sick in the division. Don't fail to buy shares in all the different projects of "The Lady." As she is not ashamed to be a member of the U. N. L. A. she hoped we would persuade others to our ranks. All services were stituted, and the anthem was always sung. The close of the Sunday services all sang two verses of "God Be With You Until We Meet Again," and we all felt and wished Lady Henrietta Vintom Davis Godpoed in her work of love for our people. We shall begin our work here in Division 180 with renewed vigor and courage to make our breseen one of the best in the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. Yours truly. ```markdown ``` OLIVER GROEBE, President. LENA FORBER, Recorder. Mr. Veseneos of Greco, who is without portfolio at present, we understand has arrived in the United States and will attend the disarmament conference of the perturbed representatives of the Allies soon to assemble by the national capital in an attempt to unscramble the eggs scrambled at Veseneos by Mr. Woodrow Wilson. It is just barely possible that Mr. Veseneos will be the "ty in the clitment" at the Washington conference if he is admitted to the counsel disarmed and permitted to participate in its deliberations. His appearance in this country at this time is significant and emblematic. P. S. Please forgive Mr. Veseneos no harm and at liberty to have this article published in this weekly newspaper. Who Will Tell the Truth About the Congress?—Africans Repudiate Those Who Attended—You Cannot Fool All of the People All of the Time THE MOORS, THE FREE MOUNTAINEERS OF MOROCCO ECHO OF PAN-AL Who Will Tell the Truth A cans Repudiate Those WH Fool All of the People LISZON, Portugal, Sept. 80—a meeting was celebrated by the African League in order to appraise the intentions of two delegates returned from a Pan-African Congress who affirmed themselves to be representing the Colonial governments. It took place in a receiving room which Sr. Alberto Pinho gave to the African Colony. There were a large number of African people in opposition to the meeting. Sra. Dr. Borria dos Santos and Macedo de Oliveira were invited to preside, but they declined the invitation. THE MOORS, THE MOUNTAIN By E. D. MOREL Time was when our sailors sailed forth, in the language of the time, to "sluge the King of Spain beard." It was a roystering, buccaneering period. But it had its elements of romance. Today England it would seem, become a recruiting ground for hirelings in the service of that King, to slaughter men who refuse to do his bidding. The old standard may not have been a high one, ethically, but how incomparably higher than the new? One's mind revolves back to that man, a squirrel sunlit land and to the men—many of whom of hue no darker than that of a sun-tanned Englishman—who inhabit it. Spain has been warring against them impotently for 400 years. A Noble Race They come of a stock which for long centuries led the western world in many arts and crafts, in the science of the stare, in the worship of the beautiful. Broken by the cannon of Castille, flung back with odious savagery by their "Christian" conquerors into the mountain recesses of their country of origin, expelled in droves from the land they fertilized with their industry and intelligence, they have survived in a jealously guarded independence. Long ages before their invasion of Southern Europe, wave upon wave of foreign conquest had shattered itself upon the granite of their hills, upon the granite of their stubborn resistance. Splendid in physique, of noble countenance and department, with muscles of tempered steel and wills of iron, they have maintained their freedom against all the infernal devices of modern "civilized" warfare. When I think of their racial cousins along that tormented North African coast, and what modern Europe has done for them—the Tunisian ground to the earth with oppressive taxes, the Tripolitan Arab flouted and degraded, the Algerian sodden with absinthe, landless and poverty-stricken—I take my hat to the bold tribesman. I will preserve his charrised independence and rid his country of the European concession hunter. And may any countryman of mine, dire though he his straits, think twice and thrice before helping a tottoring monarchy to bind the free men living along the spurs of the Atlas. There is another side to this matter which British Labor may with profit bear in mind Any assistance given from this country to the Spanish militarists does but help to fasten upon the back of the Spanish working man a burden he can ill sustain For, as ever in these anomalous imperialist wars, there is a double victim, the native race and the European working-man.

Vital Glands of Young Animals Said to Renew Vitality Scientists of international prominence declare that the vital glands of young animals have remarkable powers for repealing vitality, toning up the system and building up the vital forces.

The following is no evidence supplied to men and women everywhere under a guarantee of satisfaction: no cocoa or milk powder brewatories. Suite 1856, No. 838, S. Clark St., Chicago Ill.

The first to speak was Sr. Nicolaan Santos Plinto, member of the African League, who was constantly interrupted and was forced to stop. Sr. Joe de Magalhane followed him, with the same force and had to leave the room. The assembly broke out with cries of, "Long live Marcus Garvay and the African National Party (meaning the Universal Negro Improvement Association) and away with the faken," and Sr. Diagne and that Pan-African Congress was not representing the African cause—"A Imprenza da Manda." Government in the endeavor to consolidate its position in the Riff country under the secret Franco-Spanish Convention of 1804, negotiated at the instance of Lord Landowne have been expended in sheer waste. It has been a dead loss nationally, for neither in trade, nor in anything else, has Spain ever got anything out of the Riff, or ever will. Moreover, our national responsibility in this business, if indirect, is not trifling. Before the 1804 convention Spain had contented herself for many years (after earlier and unsuccessful military efforts) with occupying the insignificant areas of her old presides—Ceuta, Melilla, Albuccas and Penonque Velez de la Gomera. By the secret convention, in which Spain played the ungrateful part of catspaw to a real or fancied British strategic interest, her government became possessed on paper of the whole Mediterranean coastline of Morocco (Tangier excluded) and of a not inconsiderable hinterland behind it. Her attempt to make that paper claim effective has culminated in the disaster her subjects are so unwilling to repair that her government must needs beat up recruits in other lands for the purpose. What a curse to our people, to the people of France, of Spain, of all Europe that Morocco deal has been. Can one point to a solitary benefit conferred upon a living soul—except, perhaps, to a more handful of cosmopolitan speculators—from the clandestine transactions whereby four men—Mr.Balfour, Lord Llandowne, M. Delcazne, and M. Paul Cambon—bargained away the rights and liberties of the peoples Egypt of Morocco, in the supposed national interests of "Britain" and of "France"?

R GROWER Pressing and Grower. TS WANTED. Good Money THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 October 12, 1821. OCTOBER, 1931 On Monday evening, October 19, Mita Helen Hagan, who won a $2,000 Fellowship in grade from New York University to study made in Dana, gave a piano recital in Acadian Hall-New York city. The numbers played were: Prelude, Choral et Fugue..... Cherokee French Symphonic Frudes..... Schumann Poulain Fantasy, Etudes Op. 25. Mee 5 & 10..... Gimpin Reflects dans l'Eau..... Debauzy Jardins sans La Pluie..... Debauzy Transcriptions of Negro Melodies.... S. Coleridge Taylor Troubled in Mind (American). Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler (Americans). Miss Hagan had a difficult test to perform, as she had to play from memory elaborate and involved compositions, and she had to so vary her program that she could entertain and hold the attention of her audience for two hours without the aid of singers or orchestra. Miss Hagan performed the double feat very well. The musical critic of the New York American stated that Miss Hagan's memory played her fate once. "Yo, so, she quickly recited the whole piece," she did not notice it. It was a remarkable feat to play from memory long and difficult compositions which did not have an air or melody to carry one along. Miss Hagen has a pleasing personality and possesses temperament and technique. She varied her program so that it was not heavy. In Franck's Predece, she showed perfect mastery of the instrument. Her expression was wonderful and her phrasing excellent. In Schumann's Symphonic Etude, Miss Hagen showed that she was a real artist in sound. Her touch was gentle and she exhibited wonderful energy in her climaxes. So great was the applause that she came out and bowed twice. In Chopin's Polonaise Fantasy, the evenness of Miss Hagen's playing and her strong and vigorous finish attracted attention. When she played the light and rippling music of Debussy, Miss Hagen pleased the audience. In the transcriptions of Negro melodies, all of Miss Hagen's varied qualities showed at t'er best.

Thomas Wentworth Hligman sold of Weddell Philips as an instructor can be said of Miss Hagan as a musician. Colonel Hligman sold that William Lloyd Garrison surpassed Philips in moral form, Frederick Douglas in elemental magnesium and Charles Summer in scholarship, but that in the blending of all the qualities that makes him a great master, Wendell Philips was not only greater than any single one of these, but greater than all three combined. So, in the case of Miss Hagan, her power resides not in the predominance of anyone quality, but in the combination of qualities. It is the blending of temperament with technique of perfect mastery of the piano and present power with emotional favour of a gentle and sympathetic touch with surprising strength and wonderful energy in the olivaceas that constitutes Miss Hagan's inimitable charm as a musical performer.

And the fulness of the hearts of the speakers and others who took part in the evening's proceedings, for we have found chords of their hearts, and those who were present were greatly stimulated by having been in audience to join in that animated singing and to hear the outpourings of loyalty and the desire for freedom and complete emancipation of the race as expressed by the sons and daughters of Ethiopia.

If it is possible for your imagination to reach so far, it is difficulty due to us to inform the leadership of the N. A. A. C. P, with its profession. It looks like the rats shredding the cats for their leaders, or the mice inviting the spiders to their head. What we want is Negro leadership, not leadership shared. If in the body, et al, think it necessary to have white people in the organization, let them come in as followers? It is a dangerous experiment to have even good white people at the head of Negro organizations. But as we write we must remember that there are Negroes who believe that we have not reached that stage of development where we can be trusted with the leadership of ourselves. They accept white leadership as a necessary thing, forgetting that we have had three hundred years of it here in America, three hundred years of it to our overlasting shame and undoing. The man in the ditch has some enough now to break away. When will Dr. Bois with his many degrees discover that he knows enough to be his own manager? NOTICE There is a place for all organisations working in the interest of the cohorted people, and the U. N. L. A. would be this last to condemn any worthy effort; but we must insist that for Negro people ther. be Negro leadership. We think that the New York Dispatch is striking at fundamentals in this particular. ROBT, L. POSTON.

LESTER TAYLOR DESTINY IN NEPTUNY BY LESTER TAYLOR The sum of his belinkings in his hand, Strong with the strength of honest enterprise. Bravery his steps into the strangers' land A wealth of calm resolve behind his eyes. The great skyscrapers glare unfriendly down. The busy city's clangor frights his care. Nabhaye for the unfamiliar faces frown. Naught for the half-guessed scores or gibe he cares. Resolved to conquer, struggling day by day. His hours of study snatched when best he can. Tried in the fires of the "Melting Pot." Behid emerge, eye, in God's truth, a man. Breed more of such as these. Oh, thou, my Race. Then shall indeed the nation, give the place. HAVE YOUR NAME ENROLLED Our hearts are linked with Africa. We are making for her shores; Lift high the red, the black and green. And let her colors blow. Father Garvey's voice is calling now— His sheep from hill and plain; And through the mighty powers of God. We'll tell till freedom's gained. With faith and unity in our hearts We'll take the path that Garvey trods, And with our beautiful colors blowing in the breeze We'll sail for Ethiopia's sofa. And as we feel constrained to say, We feel no fear within. But like soldiers brave will follow Garvey— And the victory hope to win. But Garvey is on the wrong track— That is what the critics say: For Africa is not our home. We belong to the U. B. A. But they are seeking political friendship; And we are seeking true liberty— The white man's country with all its riche. It has no charms for me. I bid the critics come and join; For they must surely go this way. For the only way that they can triumph. Is through the powers of the U.N. I.A. Some think they are too wise to join; But they love to come and look; If you want to prove race loyalty and pride, "Enroll" your name on Garvey's Book. MATTIE G. JOHNSON, 528 Kruger Avenue, Hamilton, Ohio OUR CANAAN Man is but a shadow and life a dream, But when in his inner self he finds That there exists his strength sublime, Then he opens his, dormant eyes to shine and praises his God divine. He who made him from the dust of earth He who made him from the earth to birth. He who made him full of mirth. Without distinction nor below any higher worth. Then upon this good earth He placed them all, Saying, Gone be thine and true to all, Love thy brother on thy own self. And serve he, thy God, and no one else. So He left them here all to dwell, And on so greatly well, But mages lost their souls, Down down to the bottomless hall. But the Gnathians kept on serving Him. So straight that again couldn't break them in. Holme went to God and said, O Lord! They serve This only For their good rewards. So as to prove them Our Lord commended: Make them every day and slaves from this very day. And when they are proven even as to Job. Then I shall make them wearers of my noble robes. This Lord has proven us to this very day. So between can't you plainly see that with Morce's Garvey as our blood. What Money Cannot Buy. It cannot buy the sunshine now that moonlight on the sea; It cannot buy the love of God or a true friend's loyalty. It cannot buy a mother's love for the child. Nor can it buy esther, and neither heavenly rest. But it will buy a star that's black; yes black as the cool from the mine.

Division No. 160 was held on the above date at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of receiving the body of the U. N. Y. A. A. His Excellency John Stynn De Bourg leader of the Western Province of the West Indies, Central and South America. Opening song in constitution book "The Gospel of Jesus," titled: "Scripture lesson, the 18th Psalm and prayer, led by the Chapelman, Mr. Joseph F. Bigga, after which the president, Rev. Dr. A. W. Thompson, declared, organization open for the public, some before it. The speaker was introduced by the president. His Excellency Rt. Hon. Sydney De Bourg began. Greeting the officers and members and friends of the Louville division, afterwards billins the heart of curiosity concerning the excitement and curiosity concerning the edition, the U. N. I. A., which Mr. De Bourg has believed was led by a mighty God and that the Scriptures cannot lie, and that we were chosen for this work, with that the Honorable Marquis de Bourg, and of this organization. The Negro of today must take his opportunity. Mr. De Bourg placed with the men and women of his race to wake up and not be aleep. He said that he felt as a new born Negro. Although he was 64 years of age, he felt only 8 years old when it came to the protection of his race. Mr. De Bourg during his studies the Negro grew思 thinking and what they were doing that he had seen nothing of what the white man calls civilization carried on by the black man, and that the N. J. A. means the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and we only want you to be awakened to your own interests. Mr. De Bourg said that the majority of Negro stands aside to see the organization go farther. And how the go to success if we don't carry it out? It doesn't matter and see a neighbor's house on fire and instead of carrying water to put it out, we stand aside and see it burn. We must not do that. The U. N. L. A. wants us to bear one another's burden (Applauses). We must stop believing that any other race is our superior and join the U. N. L. A. for it. It is to make the Negro 2nd big proper place under the sun. NOTICE Reduction in Price of U. N. L. A. Records Honor Marcus Garvey and the U. N. L. A.

DOLLE Last spring Ned Gouldin of Harvard set a world record in the bread jump. Gouldin is a. Negro. Did any of the representatives of other colleges refuse to compete in the bread jump event? Happened to be born black? Noted. Can you find any better relationship than in college athletics? For a long time, I've been getting tired of this color "this color." If I tell you that a man should have his chance, he should have it. He should have green, blue, white or black, and that includes the whole list except brown, which obviously doesn't belong. We have a situation where a man who holds the championship title refuses to meet a challenge for that title because the latter happens to be colored. Harry Wills has proven himself consistently a hard fighter. I even venture to say that his record during the days of big fighting on the other side of the ocean was a bit better than Dempsey. I don't hold that against Dempsey, because he always believed Dempsey was mercyful. He would have done his share willingly if it been for the advice of some of those around him. Negrosa Good Athlete. Speaking of those days, I don't remember having read anywhere of white men retaining to fight beside blacks. The record of some of the colored soldiers from them are just as distinguished as those of the white fighters. In my days of college coaching I handled many colored athletes and I have yet to find one who wasn't just as mature a thoroughhead as his white counterpart, but of them less attention: because of his color, and the same can be said of their class-mates. 'There is no dangling that there was a distinction between the colored boys and the whites on the field,' I said. 'It was my experience that when it came to compulsory athletics no distinction was made; his cause of color. Perhaps I was fortunate in this age of agent. I have heart of instructor of college athletes, refuting, to compete against colored men, but, in every case the man who refused, came from the South, where generations of princefriends had created a feeling which couldn't be overcome in a day. No such case in my personal experience and in my life, for I believe I could have found littlepathy for the man who was drawing the line. Willa Hard Fighter As I have said, there must be a line between the white and the black, the white and the yellow, the white and the minute that line is extended to the right, and the right and the main getting a fair chance, I am against it and against it hard. The older sporting fans will remember Taylor, Matthew. Lewis *and a. number of other things. You must give him some love, give him some attention, give him some challenge. "They will remember what I insinuated, sort of allow them to wear, who loved sport and competition and who made good, what they charge." Those who know Willis attribute these same characteristics to this angler. He is a hard fighter, who could give any man a good run for his money, he has found the way up to, in the step next to the top, and third from the bottom, so he quickly on the top says, "You might be a good fighter, but I can't have anything to do with you. Your skin doesn't happen to be the right color." It strikes me, as I've argued here, such a situation doesn't give a than literally that fighting chance, to which under the laws of sport every man should be entitled. I want to raise my own example, and I hope other favor of real sport will join with me in protesting against this "color line" when it is extended to prevent fair play in athletics—The Evening Sun, New York. NORTHCLIFFE'S WARNING TO AUSTRALIA Lord Northcliffe put a situation clearly and touched on an important aspect of the Far Eastern question when he told the Australians that white immigration to their country must be encouraged, and that will be swamped by Asiatics whether the Australians like it or not. Northcliffe after calling attention to the relinquishment of the land and its capacity for supporting acres of millions of people ascertained that the world will not tolerate an idle, empty Australia. In 1880, the British government in London Tiberius has history to support him. The world never has tolerated empty broad spaces which are rich, fertile and accessible and it never will, and though the instances of the working out of this intolerance which come in its mind place the white man in the role of conqueror and master, the white man in the role of conqueror and master, is no reason why the parts in the play may not be reversed. Australia immigrates from Asia; invasion up to this time was due to the beginning to its relative remoteness, being due to the might by the British fleet. But the ambitions has disappeared with the advance of steam and naval navigation. The circumstances of protection by force of arms alone seem to be depended upon. The British fleet will with four quarters of its artillery, naval and shore forces, and then make the first attack of later. This will have a considerable effect to do so. The British has joined in with the division, right on as people do, keep the enemy from the sea, and provide him with provisions of the most generous ones. unquestioned because they have fanned men from ships and have taken formal possession by making a flag and going through a ceremony, and then have done a little colonizing. While the British have taken the tapes in the face of the land, hurry of the peoples of connected areas. So, just as the white man took, north. America away from the red man, because he was, not using the continent, the Astati, one way, or another, is likely to take. Australia from the white man if he does, does not make use of what he took, away, from the black man—Dentroit (Mich. Free Press). A Review of "The New World of Isles" by Lothrus Stoddard. Published by Chagos Gibbon's Bone, 1821. Mr. Lethup: Stoddard has maintained his interest in colored people, their historical memory for a fairly long period. He gave us quite a scintillating and well-documented study in "The French Revolution in San Domingo." Only last year, in "The Biting Tide of Color Against White World-Immunity," he plotted the ascending curve of the white race contacts with the colored races in Asia, Africa and America. A little more than a month ago Sorbara brought out "The New World of Islam," an intensive and detailed study of the various fortunes at work in the Near and Middle East, where the brown Mohammedan millions are living up to the final struggle against the domination of the West, and he is already prepared in the preparatory work for a study of the Pan-African movement in Africa. From such industry and seal we should expect increasing accuracy, sympathy and comprehension. And we find in Mr. Stoddard's work an increasing measure of respect, the ideas and institutions of men of color, which keeps pace with his increasing knowledge of their activities and purposes. The present volume presents a bird's eye view of that series of movements, which may be said to have started with Mohammed ibn Abd-al-Wahab in the first half the eighteenth century, rising to grave and disquieting proportions under Sardul Mohammed den Sennah and Dismel-den Sherif and ibn Syed Ahmad Khan, the early part of the nineteenth century, and appy, under a curry of forms and movements, to the death of Jumail Palas, Mohammed Mohammed, Yamin mumu, Ahmed of Sardul and Sir Sridh, Ahmed Khan, pepes to a dangerous and revolutional head, in this revolutionary century of ours. The geography and social scenes of this series of movements will be appreciated when it is punished that Wahab was born and bred in the heart of the Arabian desert and Faisal, in Mecar bin Sennah and his grandson, Sherif, in Jumail Palas. Dismel-den Sherif, in Faisal Sardul and Farid Riy, in Egypt, and the great Ahmed Khan in India. In each of these four battles that streaked across Northern Africa Khalil Sessam and Yasin through Asia Akhbar, the Arab Amman, Torma Afghanistan, Timpanbe and India, and Gaza 'Pishb' (impel) into China through the United States and hundred degrees of latitude and two revolution of time, one must be a magnificent historian as well as a pachyderm, and the Mussadad on a bishop is quite competent. The historical presentation of this earlier series in which Khalil Sessam, then to handle geography and diet of them to construct a living past, stands, then in good stead in this middle period in which he makes of the distant present a master and masterly reality. Our modern history will be more interested in the present than in the past. Yet it should that they may understand the full meaning of the Indian form of today, a word must be said of the Mohammedan world of yesterday and the day before. It was in the seventh century that a drove a man of religion began with a high, religious, a group for democracy and civilizing gifts of a high dollar. In law, that is, a hundred years they had spread that religion over half the earth. fighting had made them harder fighters than the more civilized people who fought less frequently. Therefore when by the crumples they had been brought into contact with the higher civilization and culture of the Saracenic world and had come into their own period of renascence, their expanding powers were set to serve an awakening greed for gold. Commerce and discovery were the two handgadgets of the new desire. Fronting on the sea, as they did, they evolved into maritime powers at the time when the Mohammedan tands lost their central unity and the power of further propagation. Thus the scape of sovereignty which fell from the weak and grasp of the followers of Mohammed was set by the newer nations of the Christian world. It is hardly six hundred years since the Turks were thundering at the gates of Vienna, and not quite twelve hundred shoes Moslem arms were arrayed against all Europe on the battlefields of Spain and Southern France, and Moslem armies were encamped before Lyons and Dassanon. Yet in the few contries since the white man has risen to the heights of rulership from which he looks down with fattening self-companency on all the rest of the world. And yet, that earlier world domination of Islam was in many respects superior in moral and spiritual values to that of the white man. In the first place it was not eaten by the corroding canker of race prejudice. In political and civic matters character counted for much color and race for nothing at all. As Mr. Stoddard remarked "All true believers were brothers" Black and brown and yellow were not, as in the Christian system, brothers only, in respect to the practices before the magistrates and in all the relations of daily life. As Shahbaz Mushah Mushah Hidaih hwalah a dark son of India tells us in his little book on "Pan Islam"— "It to the Christian white, discolored European people who are fatally prejudiced against the earth, it is they who constantly disturb the amity and fraternity that should exist and which did unjustly civilize the black men of Abysseburg, the white of Spain, the yellow of China and the brown of Antioch, countrist loved one and each other, on terms of perfect equality—and therefore deserves to day if they are Mohammadians... and so called altogether in bringing peace (on earth). It is the Christian people who have shed the greatest quantity of human blood will bent on their hidden purpose." In the next place those who profess Mohammadanism practise what they preach. If it is true that "by their fruits ye shall know them" then the sons of the Prophet are nearer to "the kingdom of Heaven" than those who parade the principles of the Judean carpenter, yet have put them into practice. "Wife women of ill-nice and gambling are the three great currents of Christian countries; as on Wife women of ill-nice and gambling read to white read the potencies of Christian writers one would think that these things existed only in "Heathen Africa" or "Backward Asia." In diplomacy, politics, war propaganda, business and family life the Lie is frequent in all Christian lands. But it is in another and no less important, respect that Islam's superiority is demonstrated. It is a fact known to all students of history except those whose collars button in the neck that, while Christianity as an sociological system controlled Europe's educational systems and institutions, an thinker dared to think a new thought. The inquisition and the lesser tribals set cross-legged at the birth of every miscellaneous idea to imagine that it would be atticism. The facts of science upon which Christian civilization now bases its claim to intellectual supremacy had to fight for their lives in the truth of that Christian history and importance that made the Dark Age dark. And if this biggy and ignorance had prevailed the tutephone, wireless, staircase and traction prow would still exist only in the womb of the future. On the conspired facts of history the Christian system was in its own domains incompatible with knowledge and free inquiry. On the other hand, despite the huge culture of the that has risen on the grave of France's reputation to the Western world, the " Mohammedian system from its very beginning strive to provide knowings and free inquiry. For the proof of this we need to further than the submissions of Western scholars like John William Drapet in " The Conflit Between Religion and Substance: The Mr. Richard Brigham and his later testimony which has this pre-day as a matter of fact, is determined by a knowledge of the " Miriam's eye words in the Storm of the House of Cripps in 1860. For the heritages of Cripps, the whole knowledge from the middle of the grays of Knowledge is of interest, and the knowledge of the more large than the reading of a hundred proceions of the " Miriam's eye words in the Storm of the House of Cripps has the most professionalism than the things in the case in more personal than the things in the case to matter. " In truth it was, only how he was treated by the green men who were the only styles of knowledge in the world, and he was the most ever known to the measure about me, and then the BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN and yellow people from the Bangalore in the shores of the Yellow Sea. And it is this multitudinous mass which is now on the move, struggling toward "their "place in the sun," under the impact of white anarchy, greed and race-protection which call to their aid the forces of religion, business, imperialism and war. But, in truth, the line-up is not as simple as it seems. The racial element, though complex, overbrakes the religious. For Mr. Stoddard's study includes the purely Hindu movement of M. Ghandu, the people of Turkistan (who are not brown in any sense of the word) the black populations of portions of India and Africa; the map at the end of the volume (which is the only crude thing in his book) shows as his text does, that the present unrest is discernible among the Moslem part of the population of Yellow China. In India the brunt of the struggle for liberation has been borne mainly by the non-Moslem Hindu whose leader, M. K. Ghandu, stands among men of all colors today as the greatest, most unassual and powerful leader of the modern world. But Mr. Stoddard planned his book as a study of the unrest in the Islamic world and, although he notes the extension of the international impulses to the Hindu and some other people who are not Muslims, which is likely to the distinction laid down in his thesis. There is a justification for this in terms of Welpeltith, for it is the Moslem movement which is the chief disquieting feature of the Eastern problem today. Japanese aspiration being dangerous rather for what it may erode out of this ferment. The Islamic world which had sunk into semiconductivity is awakening. This awakening takes many forms. One of the most significant of these is the conversion of new millions to the religious tenets of Mohammedanism. Of its progress in Africa Mr. Irritaili told us in 1800 that it is "making marvellous progress in the intritor of Africa. It is crushing paganism out. Against it THE POTENCY OF NEGRO BLOOD The rich red blood of the African has found its way into the veins of many thousands of persons long recognized as of the Anglo-Saxon race, and it only goes to prove that "Mankind is one and hath but one great end." The whole human race is mixing and has been since time began, and nations and races have been in contact with each other. The only people who may wish to be a pure race is the Teutonite in a yellow-tainted, bluest-eyed race in a certain part of Germany. The polyglot races of all the rest of Europe are as badly mixed as the Negroes and whites of the Americas. The bulk of us know little of our pedigree, and it would perhaps be embarrassing if we know much. There is not one man in ten thousand that knows the midden names of his four great grandmothers, or even of what race they all were. A certain writer says: "A family chart showing the whole of a man's blood ancestors in five generations is an extremely rare and interesting document." Yes, and a simple glance at such a document would astonish most people, while a complete table showing ten generations of ancestors would surprise them still more. It can be mathematically demonstrated that each person in the world is kin to every other person. But I will not attempt it here. If we turn to monarchs whose genealogy or direct descent is more taken notice of than that of common people we shall find that they are of very mixed blood. The three most powerful monarchs in the world—the king of England, the late emperor of Germany and Russia—who, between them, governed half of the world, are descended from at least a dozen modern nations. The king of England, George V, is descended from English Scotch, Welch, French, German, Italian, Danish, Jewish and the Lord only knows how many other races, and even you who read this article are directly descended from all ranks and conditions of men, including the greatest saints, the greatest saints and the greatest monarchs. To illustrate the truth of this, let me here quote a passage from Cole, a distinguished Australian writer, on this subject, who says: "It is very astonishing when we come to reflect how every person is related to all the post of mankind. For instance, you had one mother, one father, two grandfathers, three granddaughters, four great-grandmothers and four great-grandfathers, and the figures go on in geometrical progression: 8-11, 32-64, 116-258, 512-1076. " Eleven generations bring you back to 1,016 ancepressions. Carry this dolbing back for a hundred generations—easy to the time of Moes—and it gives you thousands of millions of prognostics. Reckon it out for yourselves, and let's making all allowances for interbreeding see how widely rained you are to all races and walks and conditions of mankind. The progeny of a Negro, an Indian, a Christian, or a bannad of any race will in time blend into the blood of millions and the force all mankind, everywhere, the truth knows or less. " It is not difficult that to understand it when we hear it that overtime which does, we wrenner have, yogurt blood in their veins. It is possible reasonable and natural to expect that which does may should have to be in the form of the grass is stretching of the far-tower-less and unexposed-and-famous china. There sands of people clashed. He collected by Kevra's do: these plated, red's wills people have, but, literally, something with the white, white brain and snow. Mr. Christiani propaganda to a sultan Mr. Stibardi quote Furget, a French Protestant missionary, as saying: "We Islam on its march, sometimes abrowned but never stopped, toward the heart of Africa . . . Even Christianity, its most serious real Islam regards without hate so sure is it of jiotry. While Christians dream of the conquest of Africa, the Mohammadans abcomplish it." And these gains are not made without sacrifice. They are being won at the expense of African (7) Christianity as well. In West Africa the European powers converts to Islam, while across the continent the ancient Abyssinian Church so long an outpost against Islam, seems to be the rising Moslem tide. "Tribes which fifty or sixty years ago counted hardly a shammardam among them today, according to the precepts of Islam." The Russian Tartara, despite the persistent efforts of the Orthodox Russian Church to convert them to Christianity, reverted to Islam; and the Chinese in Tuan province and its hinterland have come under the Crescent as well as the population of Chinese Turkistan. India, the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines tell the same story. What is the source of this new strength and what is the machinery by which it expresses itself? The answer to this question is of the very highest importance to us Negroes of the western world engaged as we are in a similar movement of release; it may give us guidance and information about the vision. That answer and the concluding portion of this review will be given in the next issue. The printers (who made Mr. Ferris talk of "murpled chairs" and who slipped a "not" last week into my statement that thousands of white men could answer the questionnaire off-hand) will permit HUBERT H. HARRISON. complexion and hair of the Negro than the Negro has been in changing that of the "whites," and when one of those "white Negroes" attains to eminence and distinction in letters and art or statemanship or in the professions the "pure whites" on this side of the Atlantic at least are not eager in discovering to the public his or her Negro blood unless they happen to fall from their high pedestal by stealing a chicken or a pocketbook and then they are exposed for posing as white people. I have a long list of these notables who have shown brilliance as pure white people, but who were no whites than the slave gon and daughter of the slave gon and aristocratico planters of the West Indies. The States of America, who congranted with their comedy black and colored slave women and began children by them. There are thousands of these "pure white" in the West Indies and many more than a million of them in the Southern States of America. The biographies of Alexander Hamilton, Washington's Secretary of the Treasury, have not told all they know of his parentage nor all that was known of his origin, by his contemporaries. Aaron Burr, who killed him in a duel, certainly must have had good reason for alluding to his Negro origin which he did in language as significant as it was offensive, and we may well believe that Burk characterization of him was the real cause of the duel which ended the former's life. He was a man of great importance that Dumas, Poussin, the Rumpus poet; Dodd, the French general, the ranking officer who commanded the allies in China some years ago. All have this hated Negro blood. The poet, Browning, is suspected of having the taint. And it is now positively known that the mothers of Paul Du Challier, the great French-African explorer, oited as an authority as a naturalist and writer, and John James Audubon, also a naturalist whose speciality was ornithologist, were colored women. The proofs are accessible, as some day perhaps will be, that concerning the early origin or Alexander Hamilton, the oldest inhabitants of Nova, the island where Hamilton was born, the island where Hamilton was past classified him as a colored man cause his mother was a colored woman. The Lodges, Atherton, al. are gervais to admitting the fact. But truth crushed to earth shall rise again. The blood of the African is just as red and rich as the blood of other races and just as good, because it is all the same kind of blood. We like to know wherever this African blood scores, and this is why we name the scorers. Mr. Chas. A. Connor, of Philadelphia, is a member of the U. N. L. A. in that city, has been good enough to send me this "Twentieth Century Race Orcad" and a beautifully printed and bound tribute, entitled "The Enchanted Valley"; being a collection of essays on religious subjects, and suitable for holiday presents. Both the Orcad and the little booklet are attractively printed on good paper, and the more pages, they bring in inspiring and elevating. Mr. Connor writes with clearness, coherence, and direction. The following are a few of the things he adds to the members of the race to enquire in. "I believe in progress." "I believe that the great need of the past is personal, ambition, personal growth, personal achievement, things that are worth creating in this world." "I believe that the great need of the past is personal, ambition, personal growth, personal achievement, things that are worth creating in this world." "I believe that the great need of the past is personal, ambition, personal growth, personal achievement, things that are worth creating in this world." ment is the motive force best able to secure our advance, etc." I believe that every self-respecting and ambitious Negro will subscribe to these lovely sentiments, and I hope that Conner's Twentieth Century Credo will find its way into the homes of all members of the U. N. L. A. and a place on the walls of their homest. "The Enchanted Valley," beautifully phrased and filled with wise sayings by a philosopher who thinks, will make a beautiful acceptance of young and old is up to us of a reflective mind. It is up to us to encourage writers of our race who burn the midnight o'th to eglantine, amuse and inspire us to noble deeds and actions. "BRUCE-GRIT." HAMPTON DEFEATS ST. PAUL, 25 TO 2 By CHARLES H. WILLIAMS HAMPTON, Va. Oct. 10 — The Hampton Institute football eleven defeated the St. Paul Normal and industrial school, 25 to 2 in the first game of the season, played on Hampton's gridiron on Saturday, October 8. The St. Paul team this year is said to be the beat that has ever represented that school. A big delegation came from Lawrenceville to see their team surprise the Hampton eleven and its supporters. The two points made by the visitors came at the beginning of the game when the Hampton eleven made three successive fumbles, the last in an attempt to kick from behind the goal line. The St. Paul aggregation was wild with joy, but its joy was of short duration, no other time during the game were the players in anger. The Hampton team, although posed mostly of new material, did some effective playing. The backs of both teams apparently found it difficult to handle the pikekin, and fumbles were frequently made. The big game of the season at Hampton will be played with Howard University on November 12. Great rivalry has long existed between these two teams. Summary: Score, Hampton, 38, St. Paul. 2. Referee, Taylor, Newport News Y M C A. Umpire, L T Pinn, Petersburg. Linesman, C P Hatchett, Hampton. HOWARD DEFEATS N. C. A. AND T. C. BY 39 TO 0 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10—With scores of fans lined up on all sides of Howard's athletic field the White and Blue eleven crushed the little (Greenboro) North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College team in a 88 to 80 victory. Howard's effective teamwork was an outstanding feature of the game. With all the men working as a unit little individual effort was needed to overcome the plucky North Carolinians, who showed from the outset that they were no match to the White and Blue. Within the first five minutes of play Howard scored a touchdown. After this early start there was no doubt of the White and Blue eleven's superiority. The visitors showed much courage and hard to prevent the onslaught. Not once did the game, however, were the North Carolina Indians able to make a first down. Howard easily put the ball across the goal line one in each of the first three quarters and two in the fourth quarter. During the game Coach Morrison made many substitutions. From the type of playing of the man who substituted and the case with which they entered into the positions played it appeared as though the team was simply a machine with duplicates of every player's line-up was as follows: Howard, ANTI-LYNCHING LAW TO BE REPORTED ANTI-LYNCHING LAW TO BE REPORTED WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. The Dyer anti-lynching bill was ordered favorably reported to the House by the Judiciary Committee today. Representative Dyer (R), of Missouri, author of the measure, announced he would call it up and press for its passage at an early date. The bill provides that the Federal government shall step in when it appears that State or municipal authorities are failing to afford adequate protection to any person whose life is threatened by a mob or when State or municipal authorities fail to take proper steps to apprehend and punish persons guilty of participating in a lynching. At the least, five persons must take part in the lynching effort before the Federal government can act. The bill makes it a felony for any State or municipal authority to "fail, neglect or omit to take all reasonable efforts" to prevent a lynching or to apprehend and prosecute members of a lynching mob. A penalty of five year imprisonment or $8,000 fmg, or both, is provided. "Any person who participates in any mob or riotous assemblage by which a person is put to death," the bill further provides, "shall be imprisoned for life or not less than five years." In the event of a lynching, the Federal government, under the proposed law, shall recover from the county $10,000 to go to the victim's dependents. HAMILTON U. N. I. A. GIVES A GRAND ENTERTAINMENT Thursday evening, Oct. 30 was the never-to-be-forgotten occasion in the annals of Hamilton, Ohio. The Hamilton branch of the U. N I A. and A. C. L. staged an entertainment at which there were many prominent citizens of the neighborhood; also present were the president and the executive secretary of Cleveland Division No. 59. Messrs. Shindrack Williams and W. Holder. At 8 o'clock the hall was taxed to standing capacity by the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the only hope of the annillation of Negro conditions. Also stream from one end of the hall to the other were flags—the Red, the Black and the Green; also the Stars and Stripes, this decoration presenting a wonderful scene. The young people of this branch deserve special commendation for the great interest evinced by them in the general interest of the organisation. The entertainment was opened by the minister of theatrical arts himself. This was followed by the universal prayer, "God of the right," pronounced by Shadrack Williams. At the conclusion of the preliminary rites the president of the branch, Mr. F. C. McClatchie, in a glowing and masterly style gave his opening and welcome address. The following was the program of the evening: Recitation entitled, "African," by Master George Grey; address, by Mr M Bowen, address, by Brother Johnson, president of the Morning Star branch; song, by Madame Angon; address, by Mr Hubert Michel chairman of the Juveniles address, by Mr Chessie Rels, instructor of the Legion, recitation, by Miss Gibson entitled, "To Africa," address, by Mrs Gray, the lady president; address, by Mr Shadrack Williams, quet, by Madame Hardy and Miss Gray; address, by Mr W Holder entitled, "Might Is Right." The program was brought to a close by the singing of the African National Anthem and the pronouncing of the benediction by the Rev. Davis. A special word of praise must be offered Madame Hardy and the Misses Abbott and Grey for the wonderful way in which she has touched and for the great interest they have in carrying out the work of this transconduct cause. W. B. 11. HAMPTON, Va., Oct. 10—"When the colorado people have such friends among the best white people in the South as the friends I saw and heard at the Atlanta meeting of the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation, it is no time for discouragement and it is not fair to say that the South is against the Negro" and Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in a recent Sunday-evening address, in which he outlined the so-called "open-door meeting" of the Commission. Dr. Gregg reiterated the need for inter-racial committees in $50 countries of the South with a view to eliminating causes of friction and to "stopping trouble before it really gets started." Dr. Gregg said: "Dr. Ashby Jonas of Atlanta, who is one of the sons of General Lee's chapel, said that in laying down the fundamental principle that "every man has a right to be heard in his own behalf," the Inter-racial Commission has found opposition coming particularly from three sources: from the representatives of the "old foul spirit," from the representatives of Industrialism, and from the representatives of ignorance. "Dr Jones also said that 'the hope and redemption of our Southland depends on our stand by the principle that "every man has a right to be heard," and especially where white men are in the community, in the consideration of charity, of humanity, of Christianity demands that they shall not only permit but invite the Negro to come into conference concerning his part in the work and in the life of our American democracy, in the community, in the State, in the nation." Dr. Gregg declared that there is a tremendous body of ignorance throughout the United States. "This is shown in the organised devilty of Klu Kluzism." he said, "The Klu Kluz Klan could not exist, except for ignorance and superstition and foolishness. People could not be led into such abominable folly as Klu Kluzism, if it were not for ignorance." NEW EDUCATION FOR BRITISH INDIA HAMPTON, Va., Oct. 10—"In India we are looking to Hampton Institute, to Tuskegee, and to Bercer to teach us what kind of education we need, because we say we need badly something besides literary education," declared Prof. Charles D. Thompson, of Ewing Christian College, Alabahad, India, in a recent address at Hampton Institute. "The students of India," said Professor Thompson, "are yearning for a new kind of education. They are not satisfied with what they have been getting B. A. M. and A. s. A in India—with the highest degree—go out and take posts as exe inspectors, position which, in this country, would be filled by who perhaps had not even finished his school. Lawyers who have gone on after that, went through law college as much as $10 a month. On the other hand, the big merchant and business man, not send their sons to colleges. Leaders in agriculture say. Our sons are made third-rate clerks and are taken away from us." The children at today are the race of tomorrow. If the children of today are of a high physical type, the race of tomorrow will be of a high physical type—strength, bravery, deep chest, strength, strength, strength, health, men and women. If the children of today are of a high physical type the race of tomorrow will be of a high individual character—a race of individuals who will form an important unit in the vanguard of human progress—a race of men and women of high ideals and strong personalities of human vision and body moral principles—a race that through the depth of its magnified insight and the persevering industry of its schools sends after truth will all the pet unrealistic secrets of the universe to the unnatural forces of nature to do bidding. If tomorrow we would as a race by since worth tower above all the other races of the earth foremost in the production of individuals keen and powerful of brain clean and sweet of body, and pure and compassion of soul, then we look to the children of today, for on them depends the settlement of our racial land. The supreme duty owed by the individuals of a race to that race is the reproduction of themselves in strong, healthy children. The protection of its children, the development to the utmost limit of their natural mental faculties and physical power, the bringing of them into a clean and vigorous mental and physical maturity, should ever be the paramount concern of that race as a collective and organized whole. Since we a race that sets a high premium on child-bearing and that drives ever to improve the quality of the children in produces, and I will show you a race destined to cutumn-borne, overcome and survive all other races that compete against it in the games of life. show me on the other hand, a sense that does not know, will not recognize or have disruption the most fundamental and important of all principles of moral conditions—race caribbean of the number and quality of the children it produces, neglectful of their well-being during early growth and of their training during puberty and the first years of maturity—and I will show you a race documented to dislike in numbers from denomits to decades more degraded in each successive generation than it was in the preceding producing an even-increasing percentage of abortions and defaulition of wards and weaklings and degenerated of manners and idioms—a race documented to disappear eventually to the waist of its own flesh. This truth all who call themselves "new Negroes" should keep always before them. Under normal conditions and in its own native tropic or semi-tropical climate the Negro race more than doubles every four decades. That powerful repression capacity for inexcuse of any other race, is one of our most important assets in the struggle for racial existence. Any suppressing or borton of it is weakening and dangerous to the race at large. The concepts of the racial importance of child bearing is deeply rooted in the institutions of every native African population, but the same cannot truthfully be said of the Negroes of the western hemisphere. In the West Indies, so far as the mere production of children is concerned, conditions are most satisfying. From the booming population centers of the islands there has been and still is a constant overwork upon the mainland, and thus we find the entire Caribbean region—not alone the islands but the Furunan Peninsula, Central America, the Northern Caribbean, the Guiana, Venezuela, Colombia and Honduras—becoming more and more busy by sheer preponderance of numbers. A continuous trickle of West Indian Negroes filters over into the North Americans continent, and permeating the 10,000,000 Negroes of the United States and the scattered groups in Canada, contributes in some measure by their viability the evils of environment in these places. But in the United States during the past decade an alarming decrease in the birth rate, and a disquieting increase of infant mortality that eludes parents attention. The cause for the state of affairs is mainly an economic one. The Negroes of the United States are economically, absolutely dependent upon the white portion, of the population; that is easy, the white portion of the population controls the bread and butter of the black portion. How to control a race's bread and butter is to control that race's life, for that control gives the power to dictate that race shall eat and when it shall starve. In general white American democracy dictates that the Negro within the gates shall starve, or, at least, that he shall not eat as much of the white American The only commodity which the Negro has at present to offer for sale in the American market is his labor-power. The price of food and clothing is no lower for the Negro than for the white American. The cost of the upkeep of a Negro home is no less than the cost of the upkeep of a white home. Yet very rarely does the white employer feel justified in paying his Negro employees what he憨意地 considers to be a quite fine remuneration for his white employees. Indeed the settled political policy seems to be that no account must Negro ever be paid for performing any piece of work the same price which a white worker would be paid if he contributed it. The result is a higher academic pressure upon the white American. while residents.

This reaffirmed in two miles, at the principal density and一中, of the most famous andاتحادists of the modern white�ingtown that was produced by us is apothecic cause, continuing to the far-reaching high-end-to-high-tech of the United States. The forecasts were numbers of our young men and women. Have almost, if not entirely, been their racial background, especially as this true of our as-called, intellectual class. They have become, automatically of their racial identity. They have lost all some of racial grids all ex-comps of racial duty.

The normal, healthy progression of their kind finds no place in their philosophy of life. Something must be done to bring home to them the ridiculousness and credibility of their attire. Again to our ears come persistently omnine and repugnant rumors of stakes taken by a large group of white physicians in the United States to perform surgical operations upon the women of our race, whosoever opportunity presents itself to render them sterile. A thing hard to believe, yet a quite logical course of action for white surgeons to pursue when we consider the prevalent mental attitude of the white race that finds voice expression in all sorts of learned lectures and writings by their leading actuaries upon the intensity of the Negro race and the harm to the racial standard of generations of white Americans which the continued existence of the Negro race amasses would occasion. Every Negro in America would occasion. Every Negro in America would occasion. every moral or spiritual leader of some duty constant to impress upon these minds once he may have influence the importance of clean, orderly, sexual relations, and the supreme moral obligation of producing and rearing to maturity of healthy, normal children. This is no time for mock-modesty and sham-rethinking on these subjects. Conditions demand that the danger of the situation be brought furchtibly before the Negro pugilist in America. In their own house, Barr-sensing Negro sons, they construct their growing sons, thus creating their grueling daughter upon their matriarch. That is the time-tested and age-proven method of Adham.

Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty, given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional Presidents of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If you are a race patriot, if you are desirous of seeing your race liberated, if you are desirous of seeing Afriza free from oppression, if you are desirous of building up a great Negro race, you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the "African Redemption Fund."

Arrangements are being made for reliable speakers from the parish, body of New York to be present, and many features in the form of exhibitions in mechanical work, by musical streams, contests in education, drills, etc., will be engaged in to show the ability possessed by members of the Universal Negro Employment Association as well as the furtherance of the principles of this great movement. The process will be completed to clearing the indebtedness of the rights in well as to provide the proper maintenance of the successful opening of the office of the division. However we will be terminated to be double in upheld to this week's event, so we can call them at present strumming for to such. Now in the third hour of working, how do you have to do? Monday, October 10, will always be remembered as another landmark. In the progress of the work of the Kingston Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the occasion will be marked by the welcome accorded to him, O. McMally, the delegate from this division to the commission of the U. N. L. A. held in Liberty Hall, New York, during the month of August. On the platform was the president of the division, supported on his right by the president of the Ladies Division, the secretary and the delegate. The opening hymn of the U. N. L. A. was sung—as only members of the U. N. L. A. can sing—after which the president in a few remarks welcomed the delegate and asked him to give his report. The audience, which dived every available room, bowed in cheer as the delegate rose to give his address. He expressed the great pleasure it gave him to be back again in our midst and told that it was only his loyalty and great desire to work for the cause among his fellow countrymen why he was present tonight, as he could have got a very iterative position with the delegates. His detailed account of the work of the convention day by day for the thirty-one days of its sitting, and spoke in eloquent terms of the great enthusiasm shown by the delegates in convention at the success attending the movement. He gave such a descriptive account that his hearers could almost picture themselves at the convention. At the close of his report the delegate voted of thanks and apprehension was moved, seconded and supported for the work of the delegate. At this stage the president read the resignation of Mr. McNealy as second vice-president, which was received with silence. But a moment after, on the president reading a commission from the President General appointing Mr. McNealy to the position of High Commissioner to the United States, there was a deafening ring of applause by the audience. It was felt that it was a fitting honor conferred on the delegate for the able manner in which he represented Jamaica. We predict a new life for the U. N. I. A. work in Jamaica. With such an executive bond we bequeath a grand forward movement towards the desired end of the struggle to grope people of the island for rape improvement. BRUCE A.

Monday evening, September 15th the literary meeting was opened, as usual by the chairman of the evening, Corporal Alexander Fredricks. This was an entertainment given on behalf of the Universal African Legion, Guantanamo. The subject for the evening was "The Pen and the Sword," Captain R. A. Charles, for the pen, supported by Brothers A. Lalanday and John Daniel; for the sword, Chancellor Richard Bacchol, supported by Third Vice-President Emmet Bridges and W. Norman. The meeting included a morning and a crowded hall, securely any landing room, all eager to hear the disclosures on both sides. The chairman then introduced the first speaker, Captain R. A. Charles, who in twenty minutes plumped into the past, present and future happenings to show where through the ages the pen is the master of the sword. By the pen, he said we move the world and one. One is constructive, the other is destructive. He kept the heavens to a serious mood throughout and tapped cheers. A. Leibnizey and J. Daniel, also Sir William Bynn, spins in high crenellation of the pen. The latter brought Biblical facts to show that much has been done with both, but Peter smiles more about in a manner peculiar to his chaplain. Richard Bacchary, who spins in a twenty-two-minute lecture, kept his Bacchary distilled. He emphasized the sword to be a belly instrument and was forcible, but lacked that truth which all students of history know. Away with the pen, and his Cayg, Peter looked with the pen. He was closest to the great cheering. By Richard Bacchary, who spins, and W. Norman, who supported the sword, were dotted in their lustre and were heard to best advantage. Captain David Ramson also spoke in dance of the sword. There were two judges, ex-President Sophia Matthias and J. B. Lightburn, who took the long term in support of the pen. The meeting was one of the best of his life and was at Glazebank; the meeting to the lives of great matriarchs and teachers knew to show that concentration of thought with strong makes pen signification for the building of nations, the civilization, unification of nations, the development of nations, the calling, the development of nations and industrial creation. The chairman then spoke more complimentary remarks after which the national Bacchary, Kilianus, gave some humble thanks to his imminent and valuable standing at all times. of order by Charles A.

When we give light our enemies, we have in our own different colors, and the high brown look on the black Negro. But we are all Negroes. You know that Negroes are forced out of jobs and the very man that we fought is placed in by a white man. On the commercial world, we place our money in somebody else's pocket. Our alien uses is giving that money to work for them.

(Anne Plauga.) DR. JOSE CELSO BARBOSA Puertorriqueño El sentimiento de dolor de una patria, con motivo del paso de uno de sus astros fulgurantes por su constelación humana, para ir a ocupar su puesto de honor en su constelación divina, ha sido profundamente expresado. Todo se ha dicho acerca de su esplendor, y calor y lús que nos proporcioné. Soló nos resta el manifestar nuestro deseo para que su recuerdo viva eternamente. Las ideas redentoras de nuestros hombres ilustres han de tender a su realización. Puerto Rico en día no lejano ha de figurar en al concierto de las naciones que, por medio de su desarollo moral, intellectual y material, ocupan el que les corresponde, como consecuencia directa de la labor de sus hombres ilustres. | Loado sean Betances, Matienzo, Degetau, de Diego, Muhos, Carrion, Barbosa | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Como la ma alta demostración de reconocimiento y gratitud, el pueblo de Puerto Rico está en el deber de edificar el Altar de la Patria, y colocar en el las egies de tan ilustres patricios, para que nuestros hijos, y las generaciones futuras vean, contienen y se asimilen las ideas de civilización y progreso, en ellas representadas. | | Nuestro último golpe, con la pérdida del siempre honorable y nunca olvidable Dr. Barbosa, nos sumerge en un pesar indescriptible. | mos que los quince millones de Negros en America, los millones en las Antillas, los millones en Sur y America Central y los millones en Africa, realizen que nada puede obtenerse sino por medio de cooperación universal. Por medio de esfuerzo universal podemos anular los prejuicios, el ostracismo social, la limitación política, la servidumbre, la esclavitud. De nuevo he de llamar la atención de todos y una uno de los miembros de nuestra raza, que solamente existe una organización la cual nos señala el camino de la victoria, de la paz y de la felicidad. Podemos ayudar a esta institución dando de nuestro apoyo, educación, morallidad y financia. No hay persona muy educada que no halle un sitio en LA ASOCIACION UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA; ninguna persona ha de ser muy moral, muy pobre o muy rica que no pueda contribuir con su dinero o su esfuerzo para el levantamiento y progreso de nuestra raza. Invitamos a los intelectuales Americanos y de las Antillas a engrosar nuestras filas y a contribuir para la redención de Africa, enviando su apoyo financiero a la oficina en el número 56 Oeste, Calle 135, Cludad de Nueva York; a comprar acciones de a $5 cada de la BLACK STAR LINE, cuyo propósito es el de tener vapores en los siete mares del universo; a colocar $10, $20, $50, $100, $200, $1,000, con interés de 5% para abrir fábricas e industrias que den trabajo a los millones de nuestra raza sin empleo, y al desenvolvimiento de nuestra raza en general. Uns Apelación a Los Miembros Intelectuales de Nuestra Raza en el Conflinente Americano y en las Antillas— No Podemos Igualrar Los Acontecimientos Contem- poruneos—El Hambe Toca a Los Puertos de Los Millones Sin Queupación, Demandamos Libertad Industria y Político. Conciudadanos de, nuestra raza, Salud: Deseamos relicitando, deseamos paz, deseamosuperar del pensamiento y libertad de acción política; por esta razón dehemos pertenecer a LA ASSOCIACION UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA. Todo lo que ideemos debe ser ejecutado por medio de organización, de un poder organizado, de una fuerza organizada. Esta importante ASOCIACION prepara el camino para un Africa que refleje le más alta unisificación del Negro como estadista, como gobernante, como político, como industrial, como educacionista, como científico, como literato, como religioso. El mundo dice que el Negro es incapaz; el Negro dice lo contrario. Nos corresponde el probar la clase de material de que somos fusibles. Parecerá arduo y difícil el empezar nuestra labor en esta época de paralizacion universal y cáspolico; pero me permito decir que nunca hubo una época tan pronciela para que nuestra raza pueda probar su ability. Si ella puedo ascender en este periodo de imposibilidad, demostrar al minuto su fuerza de carácter. Hombres de otras épicas so han libertado del salvajismo, del barbarismo, del gabanismo, ascendiendo a las cumbres de civilización. Si ellos lo hicieron aquellos tiempos, el Negro del presente no tiene escausa posible. Algunos de nosotros en America y en las Antillas luzzaremos erronea la idea de "Africa para los Africanos," imprimigaremos la idea de pensar en hacer el Africa una nación independiente para nuestra raza; pero la hora de salvación por medio del Africa se acerca. Nos será grato el decle que hemos nacido aquí, que hemos nacido allá, y que no intentamos ir a ninguna parte. El globo es pequeño y la humanidad en sus distintas razas se multiplica cada día más. Una raza que consistia en diez millones hace elicienta afios, hoy cuenta con asentita millones; otra raza de trienta millones hace clien afios, hoy cuenta con noventa millones. A cuantos millones ascenderán todas estas razas en el mañana, sin alterar su dimensión el planeta en que habitamos? ¿Qué ocurrirá, por la multibilicación de estas razas fuertes, a los de una raza de jll y desorganizada? Si pensaramos en el futuro y compararamos sus posibilidades con las del pasado, convendríamos en que nuestra unica salvación será un Africa libre o independiente. Recordemos que el mundo cambia a medida que las razas y naciones se hacen más pederosas. Geograficamente hablando, el mundo en sus dimensiones ha sido y será siempre el mismo; politicamente hablando, el mundo ha cambiado y camblará. Ayer tuvimos los imperios de Roma y de Grecia; anterior a estos tuvimos los imperios de Cartago y de Babilonia. ¿Que ha sido de ellos? Han sido sepultados en el olvido del panado; por medio del progreso y desarrollo de unas razas en contra de la estabilidad de otras. Ademas tuvimos los imperios de Alemania, de Rusia, de Austria-Hungria. ¿Mondo están estos? También siguieron el destino de los interiores. Hoy tenemos el gran imperio Frances, el gran imperio Británico, y otros grandes imperios. ¿Vivirán estos para siempre? La Raza Negra No Es Unn Raza Inferior, Opinion De Belgica Que la raza niza no es naturalmente inferior a la blanca, es la tesis de un escritor del periféico liberal de Bruselas, Bélgica, "Independence Bele." Cita algunos datos estadísticos americanos como soporte de sus manifestaciones. Es una idea errona, dice el colega, la creencia de que la raza negra una raza inferior. En los Estados Unidos donde los miembros de esa raza toman parte activa en la vida de la nación, y en donde se han beneficiado de la civilización; han ascertado al nivel de los blancos en sus estufas intelectuales, los cuales han sido muy notables. Es datos que se nubra ante nosotros son muy significativos. El por ciento de analfabetados de la raza negra en los Estados Unidos en el año 1863 ascendía a la invención en la actualidad este número no alcuenza y se welte; por ciento. Las esculptas educativas de dos millones de niños negroes y de altas escalas, colegios, y universidades estiren con un número de más de millones mil miembros de altas escalas de dieta rana. 1867: habita solamente 609 maestros de color hoy la más de 260 maestros de color. Un faece que muestre es identico al poder que poseen en el progreso económico. En tiempo de la abolición de la escavatitude el negro no posela propriedad alguna; hip 900,000 fincas son, explotados por negros. Además de esto, según el censo de 1910, hay mas de 5,200,000 negros empleados en negocios lucrativos; 36 compañías de asegur y 72 bancos han sido fundados por negros, cuya fortuna total en los Estados Unidos asciende a titui valor de más de un billón de dólares. Debemos tener mucho cuidado de no estabilizar parámetros. Allegrénnos, observemos y recordemos de que el negro no es un hermanio inferior, como pretenden algunos, y que tan pretenden se ponga al corriente de nuestra civilización moderna, el salvador al nivel intelectual de cualquier raza. ciales a un meeting; conocer las causas de diechas diferencias; armonizar, y por consigulente reestablecer en sus corazones la unión y verderdad amor fraternal bajo el estandarte Rojo, Negro y Verde.

Mr. W. O. Smyers, late of Detroit and recently appointed High Commissioner of the State of Pennsylvania, paid an official visit to Philadelphia, which he intends to make his headquarter.

Willis, the first lady who presented people on "The Induction of the V. M. I. A. in the Community," arrived during the present. Mr. Now being held in Philadelphia and to prove her statement, informed the queen of a communication she had received from Mr. B. Gale, one of the foremost men of the race in Philadelphia and a member of the Committee of Management of the Autumn Fair, calling off the parade that was to be staged for the benefit of said fair, as the Black Cross Nurses and African Legions could not be represented, moving to the community the moral influence of the V.

The High Commissioner, the official guest of the evening, was then introduced and gave an instructing and inspiring address, taking as his tense "The New Negro." His oratory and lionhose bespoke his mental aliveness and, rising to great heights of eloquence, the ppyrre to the old Negro that his present sights of servitude was due to no other factor than that he limited his own possibilities by thinking and acting as a Negro and not as a man, but that the new Negro, under the di que leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, with God at his side and the sword of justice in his hand, will how his way to freedom or die in the attempt. The influence of this officer is already felt, as shown by the numerous queries being asked, and this reflects credibly on the foreword of the High Executives in obtaining the services of so able an official. We wish him further successes. J. T. BROOMES-LORD Executive Secrutary ALLISON SWEENEY, THE FAMOUS WRITER, PASSES AWAY Chicago, Ill.
