No. 21 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greetings The year 1921 has gone into time and unnumbered ages. I pray that it has taken with it the evils and wicked designs of the men, races and nations that have sought always to profit at the expense of the unsuspecting and innocent. The year 1922 is now looked forward to with great hopes on the part of oppressed humanity everywhere. Among those who are looking forward to the achievement of better things in this new year are the four hundred million Negroes of the world. We have suffered patiently and long, and especially in the year just passed. Leaders of the ruling races of the world have sought during 1921 to defraud the Negro of his rights everywhere. Their plans to subjugate the race in North and South America and the West Indies have been secretive, but their plans for the partition and exploitation of Africa have been open We who have the vision of the future gazed with surprise during the year 1921 at the conduct of the men who called themselves statesmen, and who have avowed their intention to work for the peace of the world. Our opinion is that their efforts to bring about peace among the races and nations of the world were false and deceptive, because the year 1921 presented to them a glorious opportunity for the bringing about of a universal readjustment through which humanity everywhere could be rendered happy, and peace indeed be restored to the world, and they failed so to do. It would not have taken a statesman in 1921 to discover what was wrong with the world and humanity at large, any twelve-year-old child could have reached the proper conclusion and decide the cause of all our human troubles, for just an attentive ear given to the cries and woes of humanity would have brought the correct information, that the oppressed millions of India desire for themselves independence, as well as the millions of Egypt, of Ireland, of Africa and of China; that a proper consideration of these peoples' feelings, and an appreciation for their aspirations, would have brought about that adjustment that would have made them free and independent, thereby bringing happiness, love and peace to over one and a quarter billions of God's scattered children. Until the world's great leaders realize that oppressed humanity is going forward and not backward, that the desire for liberty on the part of all peoples is determined, and not reactionary, until they realize that it is humanly fair that all peoples should govern themselves, and that no alien race can better govern a people than they themselves, irrespective of their condition and their state of civilization, until these so-called privileged rulers of humanity appreciate the fact that God Almighty created all men equal, and that there is no human hereditary master, we will never have peace, we will never have that harmony that is so much talked about. If Europe expects that she will succeed in subjugating and exploiting Asia she makes a tremendous mistake. If Europe believes that she can subjugate and permanently exploit Africa, again I say she makes a tremendous blunder. Man, whether he be black, yellow or white, is not disposed in this age to accept a master; he is not prepared to yield up his liberty to another, thus there is bound to be war, and to the bitter end, if any single race of this great human family thinks it can permanently interfere with and control the rights of others. Though we are Negroes we are determined the world over that we shall be masters of our own destiny; that no other race shall permanently reduce us to slavery; that we prefer to die as free men than to live as slaves. We are determined among ourselves that there shall be a free and Independent country of our own; we are determined that Africa shall be lifted from her present condition of national servitude to national freedom. We are NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 AL PRESIDI MAKES NEW Oppressed of Humanity Going Forward and Not Backward HUMANITY EVERYWHERE MUST BE RENDERED HAPPY The New Negro Doesn't Fear Death in whole, so that humanity everywhere might know that we are determined to be a race of free men. It is no use for any alien statesman, any alien diplomat, to encourage in his mind, in his heart, the idea or feeling that he will exploit the Negro for or to the benefit of his race, even as he succeeded in doing for over 500 years. The Negro realizes that life, human happiness, human liberty, are all serious propositions; to have the enjoyment of the two latter privileges is to risk the existence of the former; that risk four hundred million Negroes are prepared to encounter today, because behind it we see a continent freed from the ravages of a heartless, soulless, wicked intruder, who has laid his plans of extermination and exploitation without mercy. I, therefore, call upon Negroes everywhere in this new year to pledge themselves anew that we shall be emancipated industrially, commercially, socially, educationally, religiously, and that we shall make one effort to free Africa politically and plant upon her loftiest hill-top the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, the emblems of Negro liberty. Yes, for this flag we shall live, for this flag we shall die as the Frenchman dies for the tri-color of France, die as Englishment will for the Union Jack of Great Britain, die as the white American does for the Stars and Stripes, surely we shall not be less than men when the hour comes for us to march out, and if need be will die for the redemption of our motherland. This is the time that men and nations make resolutions. Englishment make new resolutions in the interest of their country; so do Frenchmen, Germans, Italians and white Americans, so likewise four hundred million Negroes the world over shall in this new year, make new resolutions that we shall not play a second part in this world, but that we shall unitedly march onward and upward until we meet the Creator, whether it be in the judgment, in His eternity, or now, the equal of all men with whom He created us, and of whom He said we were all brothers, and He but the common Father. Negroes, I trust that you have cast away with the old year your doubts, your misbeliefs. Those of you who have always thought it impossible that Negroes can get together, those of you who have always thought it impossible that Negroes can accomplish anything, I trust you have buried such old beliefs in the oblivion of the past, that they have gone away from you with the old year, and now that 1922 is here, I hope you have new confidence in self, in your race and with this new confidence you will march on and on and on until we accomplish the great work we have planned. I am making an earnest appeal to you of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere to buckle on your armor for more work, harder work, more determined work in this new year of 1922. It is a year of work, work, work, no shirking, no falling hack, you must work, and go forward. Tell me that it cannot be done and I say, die, useless incompetent man. We must realize that we have not a minute to spare. Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month in 1922 must be given over to the great causes of Negro freedom everywhere, and of African political independence. If at any time you feel doubtful of yourself just remember the oath you took in this new year that you Association look forward with great hope to the future, and we pledged our selves that in the year 1922 we shall bring into the fold at least twenty-five million more men, women and children to help us in this universal campaign for a free and independent Africa and an emancipated race. Every man, woman and child of the four and a half million members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is charged with a duty in this new year of 1922. I say, go out into the highways and always, match the doctrine of our organization, convert every man, woman and child with whom you come in contact, let them know that the work must go on to give must die in the effort, let them know that posterity of our own, yet generations yet unborn are looking forward to us in this age for the shaping of a racial destiny. Yes, this world in another hundred years will be changed, will be different from what it is today, and as a race of four hundred million, we must carve for ourselves a niche in the achievements of another hundred years: Yes, in another hundred years, we must see, we must have a great and grand country all our own, yes, the greatest and grandest republic the world ever saw; yes, it must be the grand and great republic of Africa where we shall give out to the world a civilization of our own, where we shall teach justice, equity, love, charity, mercy to the world of heartless and soulless men. To what end goes this world of ours as controlled by the leaders and statesmen of today? To wreck and ruin! But shall we wreck and ruin and doom of the world? No, we shall rise as even the Primate prophesied. "Princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God," and in our higher knowledge of human love and human charity and mercy, we will say to the rest of mankind, "Let there be justice, let there be peace, let there be love throughout the world." Surely we shall not depend upon England, upon France, upon Italy, upon America, to teach us true human love, because in them there is no love. In America we have the spirit of unb violence of Syndication, of humanity practiced upon a race because it is weak. Throughout the dominions of Italy we have slavery, serfdom and punishment practiced against a race because it is weak, and so of France and of England. How then can we expect much from these people who now rule and dominate the world? If God is God, and He is God, if He is the God of love, and of justice, how can he permanently permit these men to rule the destiny of all mankind? Because He is God, because He loves all humanity, these conditions that we see today shall pass away, and those who seem to believe themselves mighty and powerful even to challenge the power and influence of God shall fall, and probably they will fall like Lucifer, never to rise again. PRESIDENT GENERAL IN STIRRING ANALYSIS OF WORLD CONDITIONS SAYS THE NEW YEAR MEANS WORK, WORK, HARD WORK BY NEGROES EVERYWHERE IF THE SALVATION OF THE RACE MUST BE EFFECTED LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Jan. 1, 1922. Jack Frost and a few degrees above zero, with a high, strong "nor wester" blowing at a terrific gale, biting the nose, fingers and toes—the coldest date of the winter so far—had no adverse effect upon the large attendance that filled Liberty Hall tonight, on this, its first meeting in the new year, nor did it in the least dampen the ardor or spirits of the devotees of the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The enthusiasm manifested was spontaneous, and a wrap attention was given to the speakers, as the part played by the audience in making the occasion a happy and most auspicious one. The usual religious services and musical program preceded the speech-making. The Rev Pred A. Toote, secretary General, read the Scripture lesson while the President General occupied the chair as the presiding officer Meadames Marie B. Houston, Praser-Rodinson, and Revella Hughes were the solitary, which together with a quintette of voices and some selections by the choir and band, made an appropriate and pleasing setting for the speeches that followed. when he continues to live in the past only, and refuses to look into and contemplate upon the future. He decried the habit of some people to look back upon the mistakes and missteps of the past. Though the year 1921 has more or less affected everyone, by reason of the economic distress that has universally prevailed, still there is reason to believe that the new year will bring a period of unusual good times. Economic depression invariably follows in the wake of a great war, but such depress- In his speech of the evening, the Hon. Marcus Garvey delivered a New Year's message to the Negro peoples of the world, which should be read by everyone. His subject was 'The New Year means work, work, work, and still more work by Negroes everywhere.' The year 1922, he said, should make the Negro independent in intelligence, in outlook, in action, for the carrying out of the great plans for the economic, commercial, industrial and literal salvation of the race, and the ultimate redemption of Africa. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, had grown from an insignificant movement four years ago to a gigantic, colossal organization today, which commands the attention, and causes nations and governments to take notice of it. Work, however, and still more work. Mr. Garevey repeated and emphasized, is absolutely necessary to the Negro's highest welfare—in fact, since other whites are more than three thousand years ahead of the black man, it is imperative that the Negro work twice on hard, the struggle of competition between him and other peoples of the world being an uncommon task with a man who must him. For this particular reason, the time require Negroes of super-genius, Negroes of super-ability, to lead the race and carry it to success. Above all, said the President General, whenever meeting such individual, he wonders whether perhaps the Lord had not made a mistake in creating them. There is no tendency, he pointed out, on the part of Negroes when working for themselves, or in their own interest, not to give their full time or that full energy to it. Some of them feel, especially if they are working for an organization of their own, that there is no responsibility attached to their work, nor any accountability; that they can do as they like, and stop work whenever they want to. When those same fail to render full, complete service, and gives even a great time, such practice should cease, for they are injurious to the highest interests and welfare of the race. The making of excuses of the filmmaker kind, and upon the merest pretext, is to be depreciated also, a habit that does not do credit to those who indulge it. Addressing his colleagues in the Exec- cute Council of the U. N. I. A., also his fellow officers of the New York local, and even the members of the asso- lation in general, he said any man or woman he would regard as an enemy in the year 1938 who hold it in his mind or heart that there are certain things that should be done by the association but which cannot be done, yet which have been done by others. We should mere surrender to the thought that we are unable, 10 do what others have done, nor should we be intellectual shaves by allowing others to do our thought. If chasing Mr. Gayer appealed to the members of the association, its rank and file everywhere, to perform their duty, the duty of loyalty to the movement, the duty of devotion to the cause, and to the advancement of its highest and best interests at all times, the movement calls for the highest statenship he said, now more than ever, and great master mind, because more and more the world is coming into contact with the swapping power and waving force of the Universal Negro improvement association, and these who cannot tie to the opinion will be crushed thereby. If he added, you must combat the combined forces of the world that are endeavoring to exploit and exploit Africa, that you must present to the world its superior intelligence. If you have to combat the common enemy, herein in Africa, you must defeat a bigger mind than ever waged elsewhere. If you have to combat the common enemy, herein in Africa, you must defeat a bigger mind than ever waged elsewhere. If you have to combat the common enemy, herein in Africa, you must defeat a bigger mind than ever waged elsewhere. when he continues to live in the past only, and refuses to look into and contemplate upon the future. He decried the habit of some people to look back upon the mistakes and missteps of the past. Though the year 1821 has more or less affected everyone, by reason of the economic distress that has universally prevailed, still there is reason to believe that the new year will bring a period of unusual good times. Economic depression invariably follows in the wake of a great war, but such depression is in turn replaced by an era of prosperity. Reflecting upon the things that we should be thankful for, one of those he declared, is the spirit of adventure, initiative and achievement that has been communicated to the Negro race through the agency of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and in the same manner as the dry bones in the valley of Jehoshapat, spoken of in the Bible, were recollected with flesh and blood and reanimated with life, so the Negro race, upon Marcus Garvey coming upon the scene four years ago, became reanimated and received a new impulse to go forward and attain its destiny, through the inspiration of his gentius and his leadership. In conclusion, said Sir Wm. Furris the world now looks at the U N. L. A. not for what it is not but for its potent influence and great possibilities of movements in behalf of the Negro race, through this instrumentality, recognizing that if 400,000,000 black men were permeated by the dawntimes, intrepid, adventurous spirit that characterizes this association, no earthly or human power could keep down or hold it back. Mr. G. E. Carter, the next speaker, was introduced by the President-General as coming from Miami, Fl., where he had charge of the U. N. I. A. division in that city. He has been appointed Mr. Garvey's first assistant in Liberty Hall, Mr. Taylor being his second assistant. Mr. Carter just reached here today. He was very active at the last U. N. I. A. convention, wherein he did excellent work. Mr. Garvey said: "We need man of ability, men who are not afraid to work and for that reason we need man of ability. Mr. Carter from Florida, as one of the best men in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at the present time, and on whom we can rely for real service." A brilliant, fluent speaker, Mr. Carter made a most favorable impression in delivering his first address in Liberty Hall following up his new appointment. He spoke on "Gripping Essentials," based on the Bible text, "Hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." There are three things, he said, that we need grip in life—faith in God and in ourselves: a realization of the truth of what we hear and of the things we are called upon to do; a sense of consciousness of the presence of the Divine Master with us. He touched upon each of these qualities and said; "I would have you understand that if you are to put the program over of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—and it is going to be put over—you must demonstrate a living faith in it." Truth, he maintained, has always to fight its battles single-handed, and the man or woman who attempts to carry out the spirit of truth in all that he does or attempts to will meet with opposition and have enemies. But this opposition should steel us to greater energy, having confidence in the rightness of our cause. M. Carter the man related a story of an old black rag that had one day been entered in a race on a race course in Kentucky; how everyone had laughed and, jeered when they saw the mare; yet how, under careful grooming by its master, and proper guidance and skillful management of its rider, a black youth named Ephraim, it won out against all opposition. In like manner, he said, the Negro then, which had been looked upon as a discarded group among the nations' had been thrown aside in a heap pile as being good for nothing, unable to accomplish anything worth while. Corrithing, he said, "Tear me, my friends, we are not on the last step of our race; we are just at the three-quarter mile post. Watch it. If you will, and are the year has passed the race will be won, under the matchless leadership of Marvin Garvey. Then the world will know for a certain that we have been in the race of marking, and that the Negro is a real person of it and a determined family, who must be counted with pride with the mania of suppression and indulgence of the race." With such pride, Garvey made the story of the race his own. Garvey bid him to be among the growing crowds of the Mingyu Castle in Lijiang.

MARCU8 GARVEY 8PEAK8 My subject for tonight is: "The New Year means work, work, work, and still more work by Negroes everywhere." I have selected this subject because from my experience there is a disposition on the part of the Negro not to do hard work when it is work to be done for himself, but to work leisurely; a disposition to work part time when he is working for himself, but when he works for others he gives full time and much overtime. This is based upon my experience in the United States, where that was this new year, we want Negroes everywhere to start it right, not only the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but Negroes everywhere. Real Work Essential to the Race If we are to accomplish anything as a race, we have to work, work, work, and still do more work. If I may so use the term, we have to do extra overtime work. Why? Because the rest of the human family and the other groups of the great human family are so far ahead of us: they have had a start of hundreds of years, and it is to our interests now to work twice as hard for ourselves as other people work for themselves. But this strange disposition I have met with everywhere: whenever you ask the Negro to do anything for himself, whether by way of employment, paying him for it, or even as a favor, he feels that he should go about it in an indifferent manner; that nobody should supervise him, nobody should tell him to continue his work; that he can stop at any time he wants to; he may go to lunch at any time he wants; he can rest off at any time he feels tired; he can rest at any time he wants to him. That has been my study and experience, not only in one locality, but wherever I have been in the past year, and I have discovered that we have lost much, as a race, on that account. We have lost so much that the chance of our competing successfully with other men becomes remote, as far as depending upon our own efforts is concerned. A Grisha Program Defends the Negro Now, men and women. I want you to realize that you have before you a serious program—the biggest program of the twentieth century, the freedom of Africa. For you to work toward that end, for you to work toward that objective, and to be successful in the accomplishment, means that you have to work twice as hard as other men; and you know how hard he is working toward the printing under his control, toward the taking away from you, that which belongs to you by right—moral ideal and virtue. By the bone all consent of Africa, in the objective of Europe. And when you come to receive the desire you have to comb the foreignity, the intelligence, the determ- minating the desires and the combined deregulation of the people who have had you, you will readily see the difficulty that you have to confront. You have intrenched all around you, on every hand, capable, well-informed, well-prepared men of other races with whom you have to compete. As an illustration, take the neighborhood in which we live, the neighborhood of Harlem Every white business man in this neighborhood succeeds. Why? Because he trains himself to his business, he applies himself to his business. Nearly every second Negro who goes into business in this neighborhood, in the space of six that he get out of business Why? Because he does not train himself, because he does not apply himself to his business. As by the illustration you have in this neighborhood so is the condition the same the world over, wherever we have to compete with the other races of the world. Negroes of supergenius and super- ability needed the great white man— and you can classify him in no other way, because he is great—the great white man has organized the world to a pitch where it will take the supergenius the superbility of the entire race to outdo them in the race of life, and that is the duty we are asking you to perform—not only to be men, not only to be ordinary men, but to be supermen, in your labors, in your determination in this new year, if we are to accomplish anything. The Lazy Negro Nothing paines me more than to see a lazy Negro. Every time I hear a man giving an excuse for not doing this bit of work or that bit of work that the weather was too cold or that he was feeling bad—when in reality his excuse is more business—it makes me feel as if Providence had made a mistake in creating such a creature. Let me talk you this, that our greatest stumbling block today is our indifference to self, having too many excuses why we cannot do that which should be done. I feel for my mind never to find any excuse for my self, that any other man has done. There is no one we find excuses for not being able to do what others have accomplished. I feel that I am a man, and that every one of us breathing the breath of life has the claim to the same fatherhood, the same parenthood, and if one man can perform a deed there is absolutely no reason why other men cannot perform it. Advice to the Negro Peoples of the World I say to the Negro peoples of the world. You must get to realise that this is a year when you must change your attitude toward yourselves—the finding of so many excuses for not doing this or not doing that. The man who has no confidence in himself is a stumbling block to others, and I am asking all members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to bury the excuses of your not using able to do in the year 1921 that has gone away from us and to be redetermined among ourselves that other people and other races have accomplished we also can do and achieve. That is the New Year resolution I am asking each and every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to make in this new year; and if anyone wants to be my friend, whether he is an executive officer of the New York local office of the New York local member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in any of our other branches, do not come to me in this good year of 1923 and tell me that this or that cannot be done. It must be done! (Applause.) There is nothing in this world that man cannot do so long as he does not interfere in the province of God. There is nothing in this world common to man that man cannot do. All that you have to do is to apply yourselves distinquently to the performance of the test, to the doing of the thing, and it will be done. Greatest Handicap in the Past Our greatest handicap in the post which this organization has had, although we, have subjected, so aptly, although we, have grown so rapidly, we, could have heart, tines the she, we are today, if it were not for and have always had excuses to make — "It is too cold," or "I cannot go out tight." Our greatest handicap, I say, is that we do not put forth sufficient energy and energy in what we do. We must change our attitude and our manner of working, we must put more life and enthusiasm and energy and zeal in all that we do, and I am saying to my colleagues. You are my enemy for 1922 if you have it in your mind or in certain things you can not be done by us. We must do it. We must do it, if we want to organize ourselves four hundred millions strong the world over, determined among our selves that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must be put over in 1922 (Applause). There is work for each and every one of us. We must find ourselves and know ourselves, find the work that is to be done. It is true that hundreds and thousands of us are out of employment, but if we study the question properly I believe that every Negro in the world today can find some occupation. Those who are out of work in New York as well as in other parts of this country, have been looking for work as coming from someone else. The thing for you to do is to create some work for yourself. It may not be a bricklayer, because your calling is to lay bricks, it may not be as a carpenter because your calling is to a car mechanic, but in the exercise of your mind you and some useful work to do. Occupation must always be manual work; it must always be work of the mind, work of the heart or work of the soul. Every man in 1923 in the Universal Negro Improvement Association must find some work to do; and that work must be centered upon the building up of the Negro race everywhere—the complete emancipation of Africa. (Applause.) We who make up the executive of this movement are supposed to think in a great measure for the bulk of the members. I pray that some of us will think a little more in 1922 than we have thought in 1921. See to it that each and every man do his own thinking and do not expect somebody to think for you. And I apply that advice to the members as well. You own your master mind, think out your own problems; utilize the intelligence that God the Creator and nature has given you and do not depend so much on someone else to think and act for you. In the slightest way that you allow someone else to think for you in that very measure you allow yourselves to be a slave and accept of a master. The year 1922 should make us independent in intelligence, in outlook, in action, in every way for the carrying out of this great plan that we have laid out for ourselves. As this movement grows bigger, so grows the responsibility of guiding it, the responsibility of shaping its course and its conduct. I trust that members and officers will arise in intellectual spirit, in intellectual vision with the movement as it goes upward and onward. You cannot afford to give this movement the intelligence of last year, because the movement has gone beyond last year; you have to grow with the movement in mind, in outlook in vision. Movement Calls for Bigger Mastery Minds Now more than ever the Universal Negro Improvement Association calls for the higher aptitude. New more than ever the Universal Negro Improvement Association calls for the bigger master minds, because more and more the world is coming in contact with the sweeping power, the sweeping force of the U. N. L. A. If you cannot rise to the occasion you will be entailed by the occasion. U. N. L. A. a World Force. Today Remember that you have grown from an insignificant movement of four years ago to a gigantic colossal world force today. Individuals did not pay attention to you three years ago, but today governments are distressing and thinking about you every minute, every hour; every day and every week. You have no hope, no higher intellectual capacity with the developed powers of the world that is undergoing to evolve. And so with Ada L. C. their own fate. present to the world a superior intelligence. If you want to combat the intention of Great Britain towards Africa you must produce a bigger man than David Lloyd George. If you are to combat the strategy of France you must give a bigger man than Monalise Briond. Can we rise to the occasion? It pains me when I see the young men and the old men who should be rising to the occasion, making excuses. Does Briond excuse himself for France? Does Lloyd Lloyd George excuse himself for Great Britain? Does Charles Evans Hughes excuse himself for America? Why then should your lead be simply because we have not the vision, because we have not the sense of duty, because we have not the purpose of service. No Longer Regarded as a Child Race I appeal to the Negro people of the world on this New Year's Day of 1822 to give us better men, able, men, much more capable to lead this race on toward the destiny of a free and independent Africa. We who have been children in the past should remember that the world, through the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is not regarding us as children any more, they are looking upon us now as men, and you have to meet men with many action and not with the actions of children. There are some of us who fail to grasp the sense of duty, but I pray God in this New Year that he will touch the hearts of the men who are able, that he will touch the souls of the men who are prepared, so that they will step forth in this New Year to lead them in the ranks, to lead them in the ranks, let me say that you have a duty to perform. The first duty is loyalty to the movement and devotion to the cause, and as we whom you have elected as your executives go from place to place and champion the cause, you also remaining where you are must fight the battles. If the soldiers from the ranks will not march with the general as he leads, then surely defeat will come to the army. You have your part to play as soldiers in the ranks, and let me say to you soldiers that you have performed splendid work in the past, you have kept watch like the Roman sentinel, you were found at the point of duty, because when enemies from within and enemies from without challenged you to battle you took the Red, the Black and the Green through the bloody rays and brought it back to victory. (Applause) You did it, 1921. May you must remember your勇敢 and determination to do it again and do it always until we plant that sacred banner on the illitops of African liberty where we shall all of us are freedom enjoy liberty and have true democracy. The Duty of Service to Self I pray that the Negro people of the world will get to realize that upon them devolve the duty of service to self and upon no other benefactor, because there is none. Look not to the world for charity; look not to the world for sympathy, because the world is void. Humanity has lost its sympathy, man has lost love for man where the difference of race is concerned—where the difference of nation is concerned. You can see it by the actions of the great statesman who have assembled in this country. Up to the present time they have been unable to decide among themselves on any one good course for peace. Why? Because of the selfishness, because of the individualism of faith and every race and nation, England seeks only for England, Japan seeks only for Japan. It is a and condition, but nevertheless it is confronting us. These great important human groups—theiig, great important human factors—theiig, great important human themselves that "the nation, our race, must protect itself". What else can you do but decide with them that you also shall look about your own business? I believe in the bigger humanity; I believe in the larger brotherhood; I believe that all of us are one whether we be white, yellow or black I believe we will all go to the same heaven; I believe we will all go to the one and the same hell—if there is any hell—and because I have such an abiding faith in the brotherhood of humanity, whether humanity be white black or yellow that is why I am displeased that is why I am displeased—wherever he goes I will sit with him; whorewhere he rests permanently I rest there also. Then if he has mapped out a course by which he should enjoy life and enjoy happiness why should not I imitate him? Why should I take a chance with some condition in some new world that Leave not yet seen? And that is why, although I believe in the bigger brotherhood, I my whatsoever England does, Africa should do; whatsoever Africa does, Africa should do; whatsoever Germany does, Africa should do; whatsoever white folks do, Negroes should do. (Amplauses) The world is sinful and you cannot start to practice heaven down here because we are told that heaven is somewhere else. This is the world; this is not Mars; this is not Jupiter, this is not Saturn; this is not heaven. This is the earth and you see what they are doing in this world; they are doing other people’s problems. Megan, I am another person; God will work for me. and protect that which is yours in this world, and let all of us, black white and yellow take the chance of going to heaven later on. Therefore, I am advising you not to practice any heaven down here; the moment you attempt to do that you are interfering with the work of God. I am advising you in this year of 1922 to travel toward your own destiny—political freedom, industrial freedom, commercial freedom, social freedom, religious freedom. Let us live for them. It is worth while doing that, so that we can bequeath it to ourselves, let us make it a miracle. that we will die and bequeath it to our children. Again I wish you a Bright and Prosperous New Year. I trust that conditions economically will change the world over and all of us will get some happiness out of this year of 1922. (Applause) SIR WM. H. PERRI$ SPEAK$ Your Excellency Provisional President of Africa, Right Honourable Members of the Executive Council, Fellow Officers and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association As I am to represent the great Universal Negro Improvement Association tomorrow afternoon in the Armory at Camden, N.J I desire to keep my vocal cords tuned up for that occasion. Definition of the U. N. I. A. Movement Sometimes it happens that a plain, ordinary man gives a better definition of a movement than a great scholar. Two years ago last winter Dr R. R. Wright of Philadelphia wanted the A. M. E. Church preachers to tell what the Gospae was, and these ordinary men, ordinary church members, gave a better definition or description of it than some of the professors in theological seminaries and some of the patrons in great churches. Last night, at the close of the watch meeting, I met a young man who, in two sentences, expressed what was the true spirit of the U. N. I. A. He came to me for two or three times and I met him in a job and could a land him. I met him in sympathy and kind words and a new and then. Last night, after the close of the meeting, I met him 'the door there' (pointing). He stood and erect, and said to me 'I am broke' now, but 'I won't be 'broke' at the end of this new year.' I like that spirit. Then he told me that he had a job downtown, and he gave me the name and the address of the man so that he could help others who were unemployed. Those two things represent the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. First, the spirit not to go down under opposition, next, the spirit to help others. New Year Resolutions We constantly hear talk about New Year resolutions. But the best New Year's sermon I believe I ever heard is expressed by the Appalachian Paul in one of his letters to the Phillipians, wherein he says: "I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil. iii. 14). That is, Paul was going to forget the time when he was a Pharisee persecuting the Christians. He was going to forget the time when he held the garments of those who stoned the martyr Stephen to death and grasp the opportunity of the present. Well, now, that is the attitude that we should take towards the new year. When does a man get old? A man gets old not when he reaches three score and ten, or when he reaches four score years: he gets old only when he lives in the past, and he is as young as he looks forward to the future. The aim and object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should be not to look back to the mistakes and mistakes and weakness of the past, but to resolve, with an eagle's eye, to seize the opportunities of the present. The eagle is poised motionless in the air; suddenly it sees game, and then drops to the earth like lightning and seizes its prey. That should be the attitude of the new Negro association and of the new Negro for the year 1922. Some of us have been depressed on account of the economic depression that has swept the world over. That is natural following in the wake of a great war, and following inflated prizes and inflated wages. But usually that period of economic depression is followed by a period of economic expansion, and I believe that the year 1923 will be a brighter year than the year 1921. One of the Things to Be Wonderful For I think that one of the things that we can be hopeful for has been the new spirit of adventure, initiative and achievement which has been communicated to the Negro race by the U.N. N. A. I have heard a great many preachers preach about the dry bones in the valley of Jehovah's presence in the South and time a travelling evangelist or a "back-leg" preacher wants to get a crowd be overjoyed that he is going to talk upon the dry bones (laughter), and be tree to chill on the flights and hills of oratory. But we have a great illustration of the dry bones in the history of the Negro in the past four years. From the age we are like these dry bones in the valley. CONGRESS ASKED TO END INFAMOUS LYNCHING EVIL BY PASSAGE OF DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IN STRONG TELEGRAM SENT BY HON. MARCUS GARVEY IN BEHALF OF 15,000,000 AMERICAN NEGROES HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK HOW MUCH THE BLACK STAR LINE MEANS TO YOU? How Many Shares Have You Purchased? The Shares Are $5 Each. Get You Now! Right Now! DO YOU KNOW THAT IT represents your strivings, your race's strivings to reach a place in the maritime world that will command respect? DO YOU KNOW THAT just in that measure you give it your unstinted support you contribute to the glory of the achievement? DO YOU REALIZE THAT the full measure of support it merits at your hand? Get those shares now, brother. Get them now, sister. Get 'em right now. Use the coupon. HAVE YOU GIVEN IT—Mr. Negro man of women, search your own heart and determine whether you would like to see the Red, Black and Green floating over the seven seas, to all the breeds that blow, proclaiming to the world that "Ethiopia has stretched forth her hand!" LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Jan 2, 1922.—That the Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring in every practical way to arouse race consciousness among Negroes and to inculcate in them race pride, race loyalty and a veneration and sacred memory of those landmarks in the history of the race that indicate its progress and march forward from the days of slavery down to the present age was imply attested tonight. Under its auspices a fitting, stirring, patriotic and unique celebration was held of the emancipation of the Negro in America, now fifty-nine years ago, and this in a manner worthy of every Negro throughout this broad land ```markdown ``` The celebration, devoid of all articularity and ostentation, was the occasion of a genuine outburst of eloquence, enthusiasm and thanksgiving to God that through His providence and the agency of the immortal Abraham Lincoln, the Negroes in the United States won their God-given liberty and freedom. More than that, with the large gathering of people who were present, representing not merely members of the U.N.A., but non-members as well it was a most creditable reflection upon the colored people in general. (Immittitude is one of the crown jewels of any people, and surely) it can no longer be said that colored people are deified, in this most important of all admirable characteristics of a race for their loyalty and devotion to their race and all that perishes it were nobly manifested in the celebration of tonight. All meetings in Liberia, Hall are with prayer and singing but in addition to this the meeting tonight resembled somewhat the opening of the first day of the convention of last August. The Hon Marcus Garvey Provisional President of Africa and President General, and the Hon Dr J W H Eason American Leader were the full uniforms of bright colors with plumed hats, the insignia of their offices, the Black Cross Nurses were their immaculate dresses and capes of white, the Motor Corps, with the Juveniles (thys and girls) were also in uniform while the members of the African Legion holding aloft the color of the Association and the flag of the New York local had on their dress uniforms all of which added to the splendor of the scene. The Motor Corps and Juveniles and the African Legion marched and untermarched with spirit while the band played. Then followed a choice number by the band after which all stood and sang From Greenland's Ice Mountain, followed by prayer. A rich program of music was then given, the contributing artists being Mine, Marie B Huston Mine Fraerat Robinson Miss Ravahle Hughes Mr S. A. Haynes recited Macaulay's famous poem, Horatius at the Bridge" Miss Mabel Hewitt wrote "Homewhere a Voice Is Calling. Each number was rendered with real art and finish and elicited the admiration and applause of the vast audience. At this juncture the President General stopped forward and explained the object of the meeting the celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation of the American Negro. In keeping with this he spoke of the pending of the Dear Lord, Landing! It to Congress whereby lyricism will be made a federal time. He then urged the adoption of the following telegram which he had to send to the Congress. Telegram to Congress of U. 8 A. "The Honorable Speaker and Congress of the United States the Capitol, Washington, D. C. "Monarable Gentleman. We, the elected representatives of the 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States of America and of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, greet you with the spirit of good will in this New Year of 1922. We are today celebrating the anniversary of the emancipation of our race in the United States, and it has come to us that there is an organized opposition to be carried to your honorable House against the passage by you of the Dye- Anti-Lynching bill, you are to make an honest effort to put an end to the practice of the inhuman crime of lynching, as practised by the unthinking mob upon the black race in America, and especially in the Southern States. "The framer of the bill appears to us as a far-seeing, patriotic fellow-citizen and statesman, who desires to save civilization and humanity from the perpetuation of those crimes of revenge and retaliation that races practice upon each other as they rise from one degree of progress to the other. "Roma. in her imperial day, practised certain barbarities upon the ancient Britons (the Anglo-Baxons and Anglo-Americans of today), and these very people who have suffered in the past, are now practising similar outrages (including burning and lynching) upon the African race, at home and abroad, thus proving that humanity takes revenging crime from one age to the next, according to the growth and development of the race so afflicted. The perpetuation of crime through revenge and retaliation will not save the human race. The Dyer bill seeks, in this age of speedy racial accomplishments, on the part of all peoples, to put an end to the evil, so that future generations may not suffer for the crimes of their forebears, as practised upon another race. "Honorable Gentleman, it is for us to inform you that Africa is rising. The new Negro does not harbor or encourage revenge of any kind, for he loves all humanity, but the Negro, being a human being, feels and suffers from the infliction of injustice like any other person "Our race once had a noble past, and we shall, even by Divine prophecy, return to our own, hence we pray that all humanity will realize that there can be no permanent crushing out of the hopes of a mighty people, and no oternal destruction of their manhood. We pray that your Congress pass the Anti-Lynch bill, so that from now and henceforth, all men of all races will live at peace with each other, whether we live in America, Europe, Asia or Africa. Let the new year be one of justice to all mankind, so that there will be no cause for organized dissatisfaction. We look to the Congress of the United States for protection in life and property. We were brought here against our will. We have served and are serving the country faithfully and well. We ask only for justice, and we feel that your Honorable Congress will grant it to us. "Mob violence and injustice have never helped a race or nation and because of this knowledge as gathered from the events of ages, we, as a people, in this now age, desire to love all mankind, not in the social sense, but in keeping with the Divine Injunction, 'Man, love thy brother' "Long may America live in the practice of justice to all peoples; and we, on this day of our emancipation anniversary, cheer the Honorable Congress in the anticipation that justice will be done to us as a people, by the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. "With the season's best wishes, we are, Your obedient servants, "ROBERT LINCOLN POSTON, Second Assistant Secretary-General. "UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. "MARCUS GARVEY, First Provisional President of Africa." Immediately Mr R N Poston, Minister of Labor and Industry, arose and moved the adoption of the telegram, and that it be sent to Washington forthwith, as expressing the sentiments of the meeting. The motion was THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 New Year Finds Great Leaders of Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Front Trench, Urging, Demanding, Fighting in the Interest of the 400,000,000 Black Men the World Over promptly seconded by Mr. Hinton Pummer, Director of Publicity, where- upon, without a dissenting voice, it was carried unanimously by a standing vote, amidst deafening applause, hurrahs and cheers. The President General then continued his address, in which he reviewed the history of slavery both in the United States and in the West Indies, adding that the Negro in the West Indies was emancipated by proclamation of Queen Victoria several years, (in 1833) prior to the freeing of the slaves in America, that the former observe the list of August in every year as the celebration of their emancipation, while the Negro in America celebrates his freedom on the list of January in every year. He denounced the institution of slavery as the most barbarous and brutal, a relic of the Roman era. He spoke of the sufferings of the slaves, and of the tortures and hardships they endured and of their hopes that some day their posterity would be free. Some Negroes, said Mr. Garves, do not like the strain of African blood that runs in their veins. "But," he remarked, "let me tell you, men and women, it is the proudest blood of the nations, it is the proudest blood of the races of mankind." This expression elicited loud applause. The Negro once occupied the highest position in the world, scientifically, artistically and commercially—in fact, he himself was the founder of civilization. This place of eminence he lost in the course of evolution, "but" said the speaker, I believe the time has now come when the black man will regain the proud position he once held, not again to hold the world under his footstool, but to help me out justice alike to all nations and to all peoples." In an eloquent apostropho to the dead, and with great pathos, the President General said "Father, grandfather, wherever you are tonight, be you by the side of the Blessed Roedeer in Heaven, be you in Paradise, be you in Purgatory. I remember your sufferings, and since I am your son, since I am blood of your blood, flesh of your flesh, I shall never forget." Further on, he said "So long as there is within me the breath of life and the spirit of God, I shall see that justice is done to this race of ours. Our forefathers endured the hardships and sufferings and rigors of slavery for more than 250 years not because they loved slavery, no, but because they loved their posterity, whom they wanted to enjoy the freedom they were not permitted to enjoy. What, then, are you going to return, what gratitude are you going to show, for what they knew the sufferings of my forefathers. I shall give back to Africa that liberty she once enjoyed three hundred years before our forebears were taken from her shores to this Western world. No better gift can I give to the memory of the generations past than a free and redeemed Africa—a monument for all eternity, a monument for all time. And so tonight, as we celebrate this anniversary of our emancipation, we do not do it with regret. No we do it with an abiding faith, we do it with an abiding confidence, we do it with an abiding faith in our own and in our God, and the faith that we have is the faith that will ultimately take us back to the ancient place that ancient position that we occupied when Ethiopia was in her glory (Glorious Ethiopia) Her star is still shining the stars are twinkling, they are beckoning to us to come, and we are going. Yes, we have started on the journey, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and we shall continue until the sun shall never set on the glories of Ethiopia!" (Great applause.) The President General address was indeed a noble one. Hardly an eye in the whole audience was not suffused with tears as the orator, in majestic language, and with the skill of an artist, painted in clearest colors the burdens and sufferings of the Negro in the days of slavery, and their yearnings that one day those who would come after them might be free. (The full text of the address will be published in the next issue and should be read by every race-loving Negro.) Hen. Dr. J. W. H. Eason Speaks The Rev. Dr. J. W. H. Eason, American Leader, followed the President General, and after a few words of pleasantry, spoken in his usual humorous and witty vein, he took up the subject of his address for the occasion. This, he said, was "Clear the Way for 1922." In the beginning it seemed not an emancipation celebration address, but as he warmed up to his subject, it was obvious that there was a natural affinity between the subject and the occasion. Relodom have words of such far-reaching import, words of so much real, practical wisdom and calm, dispassionate, wholesome counsel, been heard in Liberty Hall and they were uttered with a vigor of expression, a vehemence of feeling, and with a sincerity and dignity of manner that must have left an indelible impress upon those who heard them Of the things to be cleared away for the new year, there were several, he said, and these he enumerated, and after citing each, he explained his meaning and commented upon each "We must remember," said he, "that if we are to go farther in the upward march of the world's civilization we ourselves must study carefully the ways by which other people have achieved and gone up the heights that we, too, might not only equal them in their accomplishments, but in the very near future may place the banner of complete civilization, which includes the universal fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, a few paces higher than they have ever placed it before. In the first place, continued Dr. Eason, we must clear the way of the biased and prejudiced class among the Negro people of the world, those who are not willing to first control themselves absolutely and entirely, in order that the race itself might go forward. I have absolutely no patience with any individual among our group who is so selfish, so self-centered so narrow that he would crucify the race in order that he himself might go up." Then we must clear away the faint-hearted, the pessimistic and the critics. Those who are faint-hearted and have not confidence in themselves never succeed in anything they attempt to do. There is such a class among the Negro race who do not believe that it is possible for the Negro to put up a brave, courageous front before the world; they are constantly cringing and bowing and begging and when something is started to give the race an upward look and the light, they always say, "It can't be done." We want men of courage, "mor of power, men of vision, men and women of dogged determination to take charge of the affairs of our race." The pessimistic class among Negroes always look on the dark side of everything, constantly grumble and complain and whine and cry, and yet never offer a constructive program to stop the whining and the complaining. Such individuals should be gotten rid of. The critics, too, the speaker went on to say, that is, those who do not offer helpful criticism, but rather destructive criticism, are repugnant to the race-lowing man; men who criticize merely because they are not at the head of the movement and who themselves are unable to evolve anything original or new of their own. "We want to be optimistic into the end," he said, "we want to Lope and to think and to work and to pray, and, if necessary, to fight for the best things in this world, as other people have done for themselves. Those who would throw a damper on our hopes or lessen the ardor of our aspirations, or benign our ideals, ought to be consigned to the nether regions below." Lastly, said Dr Eason, we should clear the way not for ourselves alone, but for our children and our children's children, for generations yet unborn, that they may on future occasions like this, in the distant years to come, celebrate not the emancipation proclamation, but rather to commemorate the efforts we put forth, and the deeds we performed as semi-free mon, and semi-free women, that they might worship God and enjoy freedom, genuine and complete, under their own vine and fig tree in our motherland, Africa, with their own flag among the flag of the nations of the world erected in honor and in respect to the universal freedom of the Negro people of the world, the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. The speaker then sketched the achievements of the race (in brief) from the time of the war of the Revolution, through the war of 1832, through the Mexican war of 1846, then the civil war of 1863, then the Spanish-American war and lastly the recent world war, in all of which the Negro won distinction for his valor, his bravery, his loyalty to the American flag and the American government; yet who is still mobbed and burned at the stake. He urged, in closing, that, with all due respect for the Red, the White and the Blue, all Negroes besithe themselves and work for the perpetuation of the flag of the Red, the Black and the Green, the emblem of universal freedom of the Negro and a free and redeemed Africa. With th imagination of a Dante, and the vision of a seer and prophet, Dr Eabon portrayed in glowing language what he saw of the Negro status in the future, in the midst of which he said: "I see the Negro crying out to all the world: "Dispel this gloom; I see him the complete master of himself, the master of the situation at home and abroad, because of his achievements. I see him going out in the larger sphere of world recognition, backed up by the 15,000,000 Negroes in America, the millions in the sales of the Sea, and the millions more in other parts of the world, saying to all mankind: "Make way for brotherhood, make way for man." Then, in the larger brotherhood, among the nations of the world, when the war drum shall beat no longer, and the battle flags shall be furled in the Parliament of Nations, as Tennyson says, in the Federation of the world. God grant—and let us work to that end—that our universal flag may be gathered there, the flag of the Red, the Black and the Green, with the world safe for democracy including black democracy, as well as white and brown." Dr Eason then concluded by reciting the following poem, dedicated to the U N I A., entitled "The Birthday of Independence": The Birthday of Independence (Souvenir Dedicated to the U. N. I. A.) August Thirty-first Unfurl the Rod, the Black and Green And let it proudly wave; The only flag that ever lit The pathway of the slave. Four hundred million stand beneath The Rod, the Black and Green --- No more well bow on weakling knees To tyrants in this land! For God has heard His children's cry And clasped the Africa hand. And history shall write this day Upon the walls of fame; For Africa has been redeemed— A race has won a name. The speechmaking ended, the national anthem was then sung, accompanied by the band and the music all standing, after which an additional program was given, consisting of the following numbers: A selection of the Black Star Lane Band; a burlesque dance by Madame Resco and Miss Mint St. Louis; a mystic performance by Mr. Ovston Hill athletic exercise exhibition; collection by the band; dancing by the audience. It was indeed a glorious night a great occasion, a wonderful celebration, for which all credit and honor and due the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under whose auspices the celebration was held. Time not permitting, their appearance in the present issue, a well-filmed report of Mr. Garrys's and Dr. Thompson's addresses, herein summarized, will be inserted in next week's number of the Negro World.

NEW YEAR EVE REFLECTIONS BEFORE we visited Liberty Hall to hear the fervent prayer of the Right Hon. Marcus Garvey and see the vast crowd welcome the New Year, and before we strolled down Seventh avenue, looking at the throngs coming from the watch meetings in the churches and gazing at the happy groups of young men and women, keeping up a perpetual din with the blowing of horns and dragging of milk cans, we sat in our room watching the smoke curl from a Henrietta and reflecting upon the meaning of life. Men and women are in the position of Columbus and his crew'sailing west on an unknown sea towards an undiscovered continent. They know that they are living now and all is seemingly well. But they don't know what is at the end of the route or journey. They don't know whether they are steering into annihilating, death and destruction or whether they are approaching a land flowing with milk and honey and entering upon a larger, richer and fuller life. Prof. Leuba and other thinkers believe that faith in God, freedom and immortality are figments of the human imagination which were evolved in the childhood of the race, but which humanity will throw overboard when it gets fully intellectualized. But Prof. Leuba forgets that man is something more than an animal who craves for bread and butter, something more than a thinking machine. He is a being with hopes, desires, longings and aspirations which reach out towards the Infinite and stretch beyond this yale of tears. There are moods in which a man asks, "What is the use of struggling and striving? Soon a generation with problems and rivalries of its own will come upon the scene who won't even remember that I ever existed. If, however, they ever hear of my problems and perplexities it will arouse no interest. I am not sure but that when they lower my coffin in the ground and throw on the dirt, saying 'Dust to dust and ashes to ask,' that will be the end of the human drama, so far as I am concerned. Perhaps those who say 'Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die' are right. So why should I strive and struggle and suffer, when it may all be in vain?" So men reasoned by the Tigris and the Euphrates and on the plains of Babylon and Attica twenty-five hundred and three thousand years ago. So they have ever reasoned and so they reason today. But that process of reasoning, that line of thought, has never wholly satisfied man and it does not satisfy him today. Why? Because there is that divine urge in man, that dynamic impulse, those intellectual, ethical, aesthetic and religious ideals and inspirations which will not permit him to sit at ease in Zion, when he has merely fed, sheltered and clothed the body. What did the ancients do? We find them living as if their lives had an eternal worth, significance and value and trying to Hand down their names to posterity. The Egyptians embalmed their dead, carved images in the likeness of their kings and erected temples to commemorate their names. The Greeks and Romans reproduced likenesses of their great men in bronze and marble and wrote books that lived after them. Everywhere and at all times man has acted in the belief that his part, his role in the drama of life, was an important one. What do we find today? We find one scholar, the late Dr. George Trumbull Land of Yale University, spending nearly fifty years in writing some fifteen thousand pages of books in which he endeavored to answer the world-old problems, "What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I believe? What may I hope?" We find Marcus Garvey working night and day trying to organize and mobilize black men all over the world. We find young men and women giving their days and nights to mastering the violin or piano, training the speaking voice and pursuing advanced courses, not only for the purpose of becoming better bread winners, but also to satisfy some inner prompting which will not let them lie in slothful ease, but urges them on to achieve mastery of self-expression and self-development. Why did Patrick Henry's cry, "Give me liberty or give me death," come around the world? Because the love of liberty is innate; because the need for personal freedom is an inborn characteristic of the human soul; because the need to realize certain idents of manhood and personality is the need to self-realization is as strong as the instinct for self-expression. We have always been to discover that there is something like the most different things from the low of the sea and the fall of the sea. Transcending the sea of the body, he builds up a mathematical, a meta-question which enures the most and a religious which is the most, the most, the most peace and happiness. Man is then THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 Maker of our being. We believe further that the Creator implanted in man these soaring spiritual ideals, ambitions and aspirations for a purpose and that that purpose does not end at the grave. Let us then continue to struggle on, to press forward and fight the good fight, conscious of the fact that we were created for a purpose and that our lives have some meaning and value, beyond the mere pleasures of the day and the gratification of the senses. It is well to be glad and to rejoice at the beginning of a new year and to be buoyant on the journey of life, making the voyage as pleasant as possible for ourselves and others, indulging the hope that it will not end in annihilation and disaster, but on the shores of a brighter and farer world.

Enoch, it seems, has been to America, and here caught the vision of an Africa Redeemed. Boiling with race pride, he went back to Africa, determined to organize the natives into strong, self-governing units. From coast to coast the doctrine of this violent lover of freedom created a furore, a realization of the slavery and thralldom in which the natives have been for centuries held. At once the blacks, in fearless parades, told the white overlords of their determination to throw off the yoke of imperial domination.

W. H. F. MARCUS GARVEY`AND RACE CONSCIOUSNESS ONE of the fairest criticisms of Marcus Garvey that I have heard was this, recently expressed by a London journalist, Marcus Garvey, he said, is a comparatively young man, just 33 years of age. He has, very probably, made some mistakes (who has not?) due to the enthusiasm of youth and inexperience. He has traveled far for a young man of 33, and he deserves credit rather than censure, from his race, for what he has accomplished in bringing together so many thousands of them into a world-wide organization. It is marvelous what this young man has done to awaken the racial consciousness of his people and to make them think. Any man of any race who can succeed in making the members of his race think in unison about its present and its future along practical lines has wrought a great work and ought to have the loyal support of all right-thinking and forward-looking members of his race. BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN THE OBIUS COMPARISON At a meeting of the Southern Society held recently in this city, the Hon John Skelton Williams, then an important official in the Wilson administration, delivered an after-dinner speech, in which he characterized it. Negro as a barbarous and inferior race, and declared that the people of the South had long ago determined that "Negroes shall never be our masters." He said many more things of the same import. We propose here to reply to specimens in Mr. Williams' indictment of the Negro, viz: that he is a barbarous and inferior race. We are going to make the odious comparison, and show some things in the history of Mr. Williams' judgment his judgment to decide which is the most barbarous and inferior of the two, the Negro race or the Caucasian race. The "Richmond Inquirer" in 1854, in an editorial stated its position on slavery thus: "Until recently, the defense of slavery has labored under great difficulties, because its apologists that they were more apologists) took halfway ground. They confined the defense of slavery to more Negro slavery, thereby giving up the slavery principle; admitting other forms of slavery to be wrong. The time of defiance was the end of slavery. The time of defiance that slavery is given, natural and necessary. While it is the most obvious fact, the Negro should be slaves while White, (for they are only to do when they are driven), yet the attempts of slavery to lead rights and not be suppressed are examples of complete abolition."—William H.

E. B into slavery, is notoriously on the increase." "We see it mentioned," says the same author, "that in the City of New York alone, as many as thirty white children on an average are stolen yearly, and many of them are carried to Southern markets, where a good price for them can be readily obtained." The same class of white barbarians and buccaneers who sold their own flesh and blood into slavery for a price, emblazoned by their success invaded Africa year after year up to 1680, where they stole black men and women, the latter they brutalized, and made merciless use of the fruits of their unholy unions, selling their flesh and blood upon the auction block, without compunction of conscience or fear of the Almighty. The words "Barbarism" and "Inferior" are harbish words to employ against the Negro, especially by white men who cannot successfully defend their own race from a similar charge. Let us quote one more authority on the morals of the white race. Mr Frederick Alexander Durham, who, in his book, "The Lone Star of Liberia" cites this passage in his book, "Magazine of Scottish publication, for 1811, which reads thus: 'Such behoused crimes as brought destruction upon Sodom and Gonorrhah' indiscriminate and awful outrages upon women and girls are daily perpetrated in the United States by white Americans.'" These are the people who hold the Negro to soona and ridicule and contempt as a "Barbarism, humanness and Inferiority." But they sorely lack their own history, and the degree of Aggression, horrors, and inference they have held against them. We are not able to judge the degree of aggression the Negro has suffered in the --- E D W Williams, that we are a barbarous and inferior race. But before we come to them, we wish to say that when the race to which it stands, Williams beleaves was living in caves, eating the Sash of wild animals, and wearing the brass collars of their Norman cogneer and master, the African race was building cities, founding governments and teaching the Greeks and Roman Civil Government the principles of law, the sciences and arts, morals and religion, navigation and letters, blacksmithing and the mastery of the mastery of world, and the dominant races of the earth today are largely indebted to it for what they know and have practically applied in their evolution as progressive races. The progress of the Negro race has been arrested, because it has permitted itself to wander away from God and to follow after false goda. Whatever the Negro in America is today, he has been made by his environment and contact with the white man, but the Negro has shown, as prove the statistics made by these same white men, that he possesses the self-redeeming power, and has lifted himself in fifty years above the low white man, which the white man's civilization and alleged Christianity, left him. This is more than the white man can say or prove of his own race in the first fifty years of its development. The lesson which we are to learn, and which when learned will help to restore us to our original status in the family of race, is that "righteousness exalteth a nation and that sin is a reproach to any people," and that our destiny as a race is not co-ordinate with that of the race which has oppressed us and is still oppressing us. We cannot be so blind in the Divine economy was fixed from the beginning. We cannot, any more than could the Jews when in captivity, "sing the Lord's song in a strange land." The heads of some or us are empty and the hearts of some of us are light and we are not able to sense the wrongs which we and our forebears have suffered, nor have we courage enough to resent the subtle attempts of the descendants of our former oppressors, and to make the lot of our foreparents and our lot so unhappy and our future so uncertain in America. The constancy and patriotism of the Jews as described in the 18th Psalm is a beautiful lesson to the "careless Ethiopian" of the present day. They (the Jews) could not make mery when they knew that their race was in bondage, and they "could not forget Jerusalem," and so laid in歇语 phrase. Our great metal mistake is in putting too much confidence in white men's professions of friendship for us and in believing too readily that our problem is solved every time a white man "atopoose" the black man in his hypocrisy. And now let us make the odious comparison: Dr. W. E. Channing, writing some years ago of the Negro, said: "The history of the West Indian emancipation teaches us that we are holding in bondage one of the best races of the human family. The Negro is among the midst and gentlest of men. He is singularly susceptible of improvement from abroad. His children, it is said, receive more rapidly than ours the elements of knowledge. How far he can originate improvements time only can teach. His nature is affectionate, easily touched, and hence he is more open to religious education than the white man. European race has manifested more courage, enterprise, invention, but in the dispositions which Christianity particularly honors, how inferior is it to the African." We are sure the reader will agree with us when we say that the characteristics of this race, which have been so beautifully and eloquently described by an author as distinguished as William Ellery Channing, hardly fit a people said to be "barbarous and inferior." It "lewd evident," says Dr. Martin D. Dealy, "that the highest conception of the Jewish religion is that which was a barbarous people, a barbarish bondage in Egypt, transmitted through them to the present and developed in the metaphysical theology of the age." Who were the builders of the overlasting pyramids, catacomba, and who were the sculptors of the Sphinx? Were they Europeans or Caucasians, Astatics or Mongolians? Will it be at once conceded that the authors of the symbolic mythology and hieroglyphic science are identical? Upon this point there is but one opinion. The inventor or authors of one were the builders and architects of the other. Among what race of men and in what country on the face of the Globe did we find traces of these singular productions but the Artists of Egypt and the Inferior race? Thomas Jefferson, in his notes on Virginia, wrote as follows: 'The opinion that they (the Africans) are inferior in the faculties of reason and imagination must be hazarded with great difficulty. To justify a general conclusion-requires many observations, even where the subject may be submitted to the anatomies) knife, to optical glasses, to analysis) knife, to fire or by solvents. How much more then, where it is a faculty, not a substance, we are examining, where it eludes the research of all seasons, where the conditions of its existence are various and variously combined, where the effects of those which are present or absent bid defiance to calculation; let me add, too, the chemical, the conformation, would degrade a whole race of men from the rank in the scale of beings which their Creator may perhaps have given them. To our reproach it must be said that through a century and a half we have had under our eyes the races of black and red men, they have never got been visual by us subjects of natural history. If advances in thereas, as a condition only, that the limit race, whether originally a distinct race or made distinct by them and chemists are inferior to the valleys in the lowlands both on earth, and mid- memories and sculptures, which have withstood the ravages of centuries; as the scholars of the ignorant Greeks and Romans, who transmitted the wisdom and knowledge they acquired from these blacks to other races. Moses, the great lawgiver of Israel, was learned in all the ages; he was taught at the fist of these teachers and drank deeply from the fountain of knowledge. This "Barbarious and interior race" is the only race which is prepared, as the Anglo-Saxon is not, to give a clear and intelligent and convincing account of itself since creation dawned; for, when Christ was born, Africa was in the smith of its power and glory, and it had the proud distinction and honor of acting as host to the Son of God when Herod sought His life. The God of God, the Father of the Father and immoral race know not what they are saying and, worst of all, they are ignorant of history, particularly as it relates to their own origin. We have only to look towards Europe today for the evidence and to recur to the reign of terror in our land during the reconstruction period when in one year thousands of our race were lynched or burned at the stake, and to the recent World War. Civilized people do not commit such crimes. There are no lynchings or burning at the stake in Africa. Nothing akin to the Belgian atrocities in the Congo has ever taken place in the darkest part of Africa. We may, however, be assured that the charges made against us are made to divert our attention from the crimes and outrages now committed against us by a race calling itself superior, but which yet possesses all the essential characteristic tendencies and habits of the tiger; a race which has left a withering blight all along its pathway and the crimes which it has committed against black humanity have made countless thousands mourn; but the coming of the morning is not far distant. God still rules in His heavens and His justice is swift and certain. J. E. B. AN OCTOONOON ON "LIGHT COL- ORED HELP" To the Editor of the Negro World: Dear Sir--Permit me a little space in your columns to comment on an advertisement that I saw in the "Wants" columns of one of the leading white newspaper. The advertisement runs thus: "Houseworker for general house work, light colored." That was all, but what struck me was the fact that such an advertisement was put in by a colored woman, a Negro, for her address shows that she is the heart of Harlem's colored section. Has it come to that, sir, that colored people, Negroes, too, are objecting to having their mental work done by the darker cased Negroes? If that is the case, then we have no complaint against the white people when they ask for white help. Of course, I am not complaining because I am a dark Negro; on the contrary, I am a rather light colored Negro, and very often taken by white people as white, to which I always contradict, as I have no objection to being a Negro, and I am not a house worker, so was not hunting a job but was merely looking through the wamms columns up in a bad of mine, when I was thinking that I would not think thought was to have applied for the position myself and have a chance to talk with that individual personally, but on second thought I would not. I think it best to speak to her in this way an I intend to mail a copy of the next issue of the Negro World to her address. I feel sure that she is one of these little Negroes that talk best, it is well I am and not, as I am not a Negro. She is what is called in the West Midlands a "new lady." It is too bad she puts herself, but a fact as the other people in the West Midlands put themselves Prior to the Revolutionary War, the American white men experienced under the iron rule of British oppression, a slavery equally as drastic as that of the Negro peoples of the world today are experiencing. They were heavily taxed and exploited by Great Britain and sent representation in its British Parliament. This condition obtained until such men as Patrich Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and others started a propaganda of self-determination which cemented the thirteenth original colonies into a solid phalanx against such oppressions. This propaganda culminated in the Revolutionary War, and in the midst of the struggle, one Benedict Arnold, a general in whom General Washington had placed implicit confidence was found plotting the destruction of Washington's command. He was rebuked by the Commanding General, who afterwards placed him in command of West Point, the strongest and most important fortress in America at that time. To repudiate the rebuke of the Commanding General, Arnold entered with a conspiracy with Great Britain to surrender the fortress to the British. The anticipated conspiracy was discovered. Major Andre, a British officer, a party to the act, was hanged as a spy, Arnold fled to England where he received a commission in the British Army. After the calm of peace had come and the two countries had come to their sense, Great Britain, who had offered an asylum to Arnold, finally repudiated the conduct of the "Cur," the "traitor" (he Arnold) proved to be. His dying words were in substance these: "Let me be returned to America and be buried in the uniform in which I fought so many gallant battles." Albionelis, the brilliant young Athenaian general who is described by one writer as being an "Erratic genius, handsome in person, brilliant mentally ambitious for himself first of all tricky in political relations, headstrong and wilful." was placed in command of the Athenian army when Athena was battling Sparta for supremacy. In the heat of the conflict he turned traitor to his country and fled to the rank of the enemy and fought desperately to defeat his fellow countryman. He finally returned to his country, and attempted a "come back," but his conduct was repudiated and he again fled to alien lands where he was killed. ```markdown ``` Judas fascariot, who professed loyalty to the Christ, in the crucial hour betrayed Him for a few pieces of silver, his conduct was repudiated, which resulted in Judas destroying himself. I trust that Bishop Alexander McGuire in whom the Universal Negro Association placed implicit trust, and who in return betrayed that trust by disregarding the sacred cathod be he took to serve the association and joining it against the association, will read the "Handwriting on the wall" and interpret it to read that "My fate may be the common fate of all traitors. Still he is not as perverse as Judas fascariot, Alcibiades and Benedict Arnold. U. B. POSTON. IN A CHANGED ATMOSPHERE The Negro in the Western world has for centuries lived in a very impure atmosphere. An atmosphere that has dwarfed his intellect, narrowed his soul, and almost blotted out his hope. Four and a half years ago the Universal Negro Improvement Association undertook the work of purifying that atmosphere and rendering it more conducive to the life of the man by ridding it of the elements of doubt, distrust and deprivation, which had stifled all laudable ambition and about rendered the Negro satisfied with existing conditions. The success of the association during the four and a half years of its existence has provided poor amulated, bed-widened patient responds to the life-giving, vitalizing atmosphere which comes into his germ-infested chamber from the great outdoor, so have millions of Negroes, surrounded by the germs of self-depreciation and self-abasement, been raised to the common level of man by breathing into their nostrils the life-giving atmosphere of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They have been made to stand erect where once they cried. They have been given a God for their heaven, an interest in earth, and a viewpoint quite changed. Their sons now know the joy of knowing, and their daughters love with a lasting love. Since the advent of the N. N. L. A. we think of their love for the garden spot; and the hope of conquest has superseded the fear of the conqueror. Our entire aspect has been changed and life for us has become a reality. Do you yes doubt your race yourself? Is your atmosphere you charged with the venom you hate? Is your vision objection? Is your God unreal? Then do not give up; you are but standing today when fifty and a half years ago an edible rice stood. You should not give away to glorious forbiddenness. There is a way of escape. Quit the ground where you are standing. Walk into the pure atmosphere of God's own choosing. Because a member of the U. M. K. A. as man. Right away your vesperity will be changed. You will satisfy the obsession of the sick man, and who will believe in that God. God will fulfill the愿望 and will be satisfied. The vesperation will be fulfilled and the M. M. K.

A solemn mass meeting was held from 9 p. 40 m. till shortly after midnight on December 21, at which we present the Hon.

The choir, the Black Star Line Band, and some talented artists contributed some specially selected musical items; passages from the Scripture were read by the Itt. Hon. Fred A.

Some of us, I feel sure, are satisfied with ourselves, that we kept our word, we stuck to our resolutions, we did our duty. Some of us fell on the wayside, but we are still here tonight. Those who fell on the wayside, I say to you, when the time comes—and it is coming! in a few minutes it will be here—for you to make now resolution, I want you to do so with greater depth of earnestness, greater depth of faith and sincerity, than you did last year. We who stuck fast by our resolutions have the pleasure of now looking back on a year 7 great achievement, great accomplishment. The Success of 1921 Our association in 1921 achieved much more than it did in the two previous or even in the three years previous. Wo in 1921 succeeded in arousing the sleeping consciousness of the world to face the fact that Africa's children scattered abroad were determined to fight their way to liberty. We have fought nobly; we have not yet been victorious, as far as complete victory goes, but we have entered upon the long march and we are far ahead on the journey. When it is considered that we have our organization known and established in every continent, in the four corners of the world; when we have to realize at this closing of this year 1921 that we have made a circuit of the entire world with our program and that the program has been accepted by men of our race everywhere, we have cause to be gidd, we have cause to rejoice, and we have cause to renew our resolution to carry on the work to continue the fight until complete victory comes to us. No Regrets Some of us have without any division of interests given our all to the upbringing of this great cause—in service, in ability, in money, in every way, and we have no regrets. Surely no true Negro within the reach of my voice tonight in Liberty Hall regrets what he has contributed to the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the year 1921, because, though we live in New York, the work that we have supported with our money is so-called good work has reached the so-called best of our own hearts and tonight their heartest best in union with ours, their hopes are like ours, their faith is like ours, their confidence is like ours that Africa will be redeemed. Courage and Faith "We have passed through a year; we are passing through a year of trials and troubles industrial. Economically there is chaos throughout the land, and among those, who have suffered and much are the members of our race. But will we not take courage and hope in our God that we will guide us in the year 1922 to happiness, to comforts unto1. He has brought us through the centuries up to the present day because of the faith we had in Him. That faith continuum and I know that that faith will in the years to come make us a free and independent people. That faith I ask that you keep always. You have kept it in the old year, this old year, and I can see absolutely no reason why you should not hold fast to it in the incoming year of 1922. We must realise that the world that is now undergoing changes political, economic, industrial expects each and every one each and every race, each and every nation to play its part. And you who are numbered among the great races of the world, who are 400,000,000 have a part to play, and that part we are responsible for through the agency of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are helping for better economic conditions in 1922, but these conditions can only be brought about by our own efforts; and that you have in the years gone by, and especially in this old year that is about to take its departure, its flight, organised a movement so big, so gigantic, that you may utilize the same movement to bring better industrial conditions for yourself.

We can become so if we will see the power, the Eroe of our organisation. The Universal Negro Employment Association, as I said, is univiral. We have linked the ANION with the American, the American with the West Indian, the West Indian with the South and Central American.

No details are given as to the manner in which the murder took place. M. de Leuse was a member of one of the best known families in Paris. He was the son of Count Guy de Leuse and the nephew of Count Jean de ADVICE TO MEMBER UNIVERSAL NEGR ASSOCIATION A Do Things Right in 1922— The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association through this medium is asking the members of the association everywhere to do their very best in this new year to bring about a better state of organization among the divisions in particular, and the race in general. Each member is asked to pay greater attention to his division and its operation in this new year than has been in the past. It must be realised that we can achieve but very little separately and distinctively, but through unity of effort and of action much can be done. The parent body desires that all the divisions of the organisation work in strict conformity with the constitution and by-laws. There has been a great deal of trouble in a few of the scattered divisions of the organization, where, through the disloyalty of officers here and there, they have tried to exploit the innocence and ignorance of the people in their community for their own selfish purpose, losing sight of the higher aims and objects to be achieved in the interest of all concerned. It is hoped that members everywhere will pay special attention to the acts of the local officers, as not to allow anything irregular to trapside without taking immediate constitutional action. It is only when each and every division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association works in harmony with the settled policy and principles of the movement can we achieve the grander aims in view. See to it that none of your local officers exploit the organization for his own purposes, but see that everything is done with an eye to the bringing together of the scattered millions, with a bigger program of our industrial, commercial, and political liberation. It is impossible at this time of economic stress for any division to live and exist by itself; it must have the world co-operation of the other divisions through the parent body, and any effort that is made among local officer or individuals to "reach disqualify to be immediately reported to headquarters" steps may be taken to protect the interests of the membership conceded. See to it during the new year that your division keeps a bank account and does not have any person keep the money of the division. See that the account at the bank is opened in the name of the division and not in the name of individuals. See to it that the checks of withdrawal of the division's money from the bank are signed by the presidight, the secretary and the treasurer. Any other way is irregular, caring not who makes the suggestion to you. See to it that all property bought is bought in the name of the division and not in the name of an individual. See that all contracts for the purchase of properties are signed with the name of the division and the signatures of its officers. Accept no excuse to the contrary. See to it that no amounts of money of the association are spent without the approval of the membership or through the standing orders of the by-laws. See to it that no business is entered into without the approval of the membership. See to it that all money collected in the name of the organization goes into the treasury of the organization and not to individuals. See to it that no business is started 'en route' with the approval of the general membership and with the written approval of the Leusee, Deputy for Baz-Rhin. He went to Africa some months ago, taking with him his young wife, the daughter of Count Philippe d'Alqace, the Count and Countess Jacques de Rohan-Chabot (the brother-in-law and sister of Mma. de Leusee) and Mma. Beatrice de Prunz. All the other members of the party are reported safe and returning to France with the young Count's body. ARS OF THE NO IMPROVEMENT LL OVER THE WORLD -All Should Wc.k Together parent body, and see to it that your officers read to you the approval of the parent body before you become satisfied that it is done correctly. See to it that every member of your division has a constitution. See to it that no one individual or company of individuals stands in the way of the progress of your division. Remember always that the aims and objects of this movement come first in our deliberations. Remember that if the entire race is to be emancipated industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and politically, it can only be done through unity of effort, when all Negroes everywhere are linked up for the one common object. Let no one person stand in the way of your success. PHILADELPHIA DIVISION HOLDS BIG MASS MEETING The spacious church at Tw. 18th and Bainbridge was filled to its utmost capacity when it was announced that any persons coming in later can only have standing room, but as it was to be, the people continued to pour into the church until all available standing room was taken. The president threw the meeting open for testimonies, giving each speaker five minutes. The speakers spoke out of the fullness of their hearts, and it was plain to see that the spirit of the meeting was something extraordinary. A member of the division who is in great trouble gave his testimony and took advantage of telling the audience of his trouble. His story was so very heart reading that the members voluntarily assisted him in a very appreciable manner. Immediately he sat ENTHUSIA INDIFFERENCE Down a lazy from Woodbury, N. J., asked in the name of Mr. that this Harvard ally, and someone in equividence, organizing the Negroes there, told us that there is a student there who had been noted in提前, and while there was better guessfully by the prince, authorities, and everyone Negro people of influence who reside in the city said could have integreted on behalf of the young colored prince refused to do so. She further stated that the Negro of Woodbury have always acted as if they were too important to take part in a movement like the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but God moves in a mystical way. The treatment meted but to the colored prisoner as stated above has been a means of disturbing the colored inhabitants there and now there is a great unrest. Every colored person is now afraid that when the other section of Woodbury's community gets ready that they may do the same thing with the remainder of the colored people there, so now they are hoping that someone will unite them in Woodbury. Immediately the lady sat down a Mr. Jackson Lee, in a most beautiful baritone voice, led the singing of a hymn and like a flash of lightning as of one voice the over-crowded church joined in the singing and it was plain to see that the spirit of Garswasy has permeated the souls of its adherents in Philadelphia.

If they would but head this only, listen to the advice and not take an attention the commands of the Right. Important Marcus Garvey. The next speaker was the president of the division, the Honorable Mr. Lanal A. Francis, who took his subject from that popular but difficult text in the Book of the Prophet Eiskelik. "Can These Bones Live?" The president read the whole of the 8th chapter of Ezekiel and explained it as he read. After reading the chapter and explaining some in so "a scholarly and masterly manner, it was plain to see that this president, who is a physician and has proved himself so by giving free treatment to scores of our members, is no strangely to the Bible. He then took his text, "On These Bones Live!" and connected same with a passage in St. Luke's Gospel, which reads, "Go your ways; behold I send you forth as Lamb among wolves." He then turned to the preamble of the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and commented the two passages of we have of some important new advance, and we must be sure to provide the necessary information to the public, and to make the whole and new content will ever come. The public of America. Remember be the first to notice of the promise, the white audience gave a cry of approval. The promise is competition, his appearance said that the Miss Bea for a very high price, who drave the attention of our Negroes to Africa and its possibilities and so has come to the conclusion that the Negroes of Philadelphia may greatly know how many parts it is divided, and how many Negroes there are to east, as the southwest encompasses the same in the North. By the way, the ability that they are only 400,000,000 Negroes in the world, but more than that, we will. Indeed the president must have good ample time to research ways to ensure the mass of Negroes that he read to his audience from a mile of paper. The name of every town and city in Africa was mentioned with these prizes in square miles and the Negro population in each. After speaking of Africa he spoke of Australia, the West Indies and South America, and praised in his audience that Marcel Carver in that year, quite right, in stating that there are 400,000,000 Negroes in the world because the figures as given in the Francis was 400,000,000, and for the first time in my life I noticed a new audience applying a serious RECTOR MALONEY, OF INDIANA ADDRESSES PERTINENT OPEN LETTER TO PROF. KELLY MILLER Du Bois' Theory of Race Amalgamation and Booker Washington's "Parallel Development of the Race," Come in for Slahing Indictment—Only Outlook Lies in the "Formulated" Ideals of Garveyism, He Says 6 Prof. Kelly Miller Dear filf—You are a student of race relations. The range of your writings is mainly in the field of "race adjustment." As such, you have secured unto yourself a considerable number of admirers and mirabile dictus, an insignificant number of adversaries. I have always counted myself amongst the former. Yeah, you will pardon me. I hope, for calling your attention to a certain logical inconsistency, the issues of which are sufficiently important, I think to make or mar your future reputation. The Leadership of W. E. B. Du Bois You will recall the fact that the leadership of Frederick Douglas was based upon this that he, with more clarity and conviction than any other black man of his day, sensed and expressed the protest of an aroused social conscience to the moral delinquencies of the dominant race. Douglas was essentially a preacher of righteousness. But have you not observed that with the passing of this prophet the emphasis shifted. You can't preach Christian ethics and sociability to plunge over the trough crambling for swill. And Booker T. Washington imbed the heights of fame because he had the vision to see this and the sense to change tactics. Booker Washington preached the doctrine that the Negro should secure for himself an economic foundation where he is, and with that secured he would enjoy the twilight at least, if he failed to experience the full sunlight of emancipation. The early individualism of Washington's philosophy, like all individualism, led to protestantism; and the rise of rival leaderships was thick and fast. For the sake of brevity I would mention only one instance—the leadership of Du Bois. Discourregina Result Du Bols made capital of that item in Washington's doctrine, which had always bewildered Mr. Washington himself. Everyone saw that economic preparation was like a market in the days of the machine gun; that economic independence did not confer security of person or property or confer rights to the utilization of public conveyances and convenience unrestricted and undisturbed; and that political doors were consistently being closed. So Mr. Du Bols clamored for culture and enlightenment. For a full dozen years or more now his medicine has been imbibed. The N. A. A. C. P is functioning. In the course of ten years 3,000 cases of tyranny have been investigated, millions of letters have been written, thousands of miles have been traversed, thousands of telegrams have been transmitted, hundreds of petitions have been presented, lobbying and picketing and lecturing—aplenty—have been done; and what of the patient? No same individual would retain a physician and pay the fees with results so discouraging. Of the 3,000 cases "investigated" not a single culprit has been brought to feel the iron of justice go into his soul. "We demand justice, not mercy; fair play, not flattery; they say as they present their petitions. God! Can a petition "demand" anything? To petition is but to beg for something, and "beggars are nice choosers." The Intellectualism of Randolph and Owan James, and Bucken and Bergson re- lated against intellectualism in phi- sistry in favor of pragmatism, activi- dism and creative evolution or epigram- ism or call it what you will— retrata "to nature's heart." "What these men did for philosophy Measures Randolph and Owen did for Du Bolian intellectualism. These men have been struggling hard to effect a rapproachment between colored labor and white labor, whereby they would be made to see that their interests are identical and that their power should be welded together and welded for their mutual good against a class that taking advantage of their divisions, crushes them both. "A Joy Ride in the Dark" Of course, you have not had much to say on this score because modern economics is to yourself and the older readers what Einstein's theory is to the average person—a thing unknown, but when Randolph and Owen, in keeping with their genera, attitude, supported the black defenders of the race in Washington, Chicago, etc., you pointedly declared that such a program is like "a Joy ride in the dark." Matching gun with gun, bomb with bomb, exacting life for life in a one-to-ten contest, speaking mathematically, would be suicidal; it would mean the extermination of the one. A Babal of Policies Now, what is the solution what is the program? Washington said to parallel development of the races on the same ground. Du Bois, in so far as he is consistent, says amalgamation. Randolph and Owen say, "forget it." there is no color problem, the problem confronting us is the problem of "the nickel under the heel." What is yours? In your book, "Out of the House of Bondage," I think you steered clear of amalgamation by suggesting the possible development of a new Negro type. Is this new type to be "the sert or the slater" of the new "Angloid" type? Is it to be the underdog or is it to carry on a parallel development with all the political, economic, social and psychological contradictions that the thought entails? "An Ideal Must Be Formulated" I ask you this question in spite of your impatience for programs, as per your declarations in your Christmas message to The Negro World. Permit me to repeat your words: "The task which devolves upon the New Negro leadership is as great as any which falls upon human shoulders. An ideal must be formulated which is sufficiently tangible and definite to appeal to the whole race and quicken and inspire their dormant energies. Whether this ideal shall ultimate in America or on some distant continent boots but little. The thought is greater than the thing: doctrine is greater than deed. A principle is greater than a program. The ideal transcends the real." Do you mean to imply that "an ideal which appeals, quickens and inspires" is all that you are interested in? The Task fo Life It is mine to remind you, sir, that an ideal divorced from a program is like a fractions stood without a bit and bridle. It is more than apt to run riot and defeat its own end. "The thought is greater than the thing; doctrine is greater than deed. A principle is greater than a program. The ideal transcends the real." These are aphorisms that are true enough sub-species esthetia. But when paraded around, when used as a policy, they are enervating psychologically. The task of life—the heroic task—is to bond every ounce of our energy to the caesseless effort to make the ideal real, believing that we can. To believe otherwise is to flirt with failure from the start. The Garveyian Philosophy Now Mr. Marcus Garvey has "formulated" an ideal which appeals, quickens and inspires. Furthermore, he has a program. The phenomenal growth of the U. N. I. A. attests to both facts. Parallel development on the same ground—letting down your bucket where you are—fails, has always failed, will always fail unless mankind changes his nature and causes to be men. The lion and the lamb may lie down together, but the lamb will invariably be "on the inside" of the lion as a padding for his stomach or as a grist for his digestive milk. In this all past leadership looks alike. In the case of Washington digestion has not yet taken place, as the chances are about even for our assimilation or for our being visibly quilted, divided, and, putrid while in the case of Du Dole the function of digestion to complete its work and the doom of the race. in America is assured. So, dr. it, it does boot a slightly lot "where this ideal shall ultimately" Mr. Garvey says it shall eliminate his office, and in this he has with him-on his aid a larger, number of American Negroes, Canadian Negroes, West Indian Negroes, Central and South American Negroes and African Negroes than any other Negro ladies on earth, past or present. And added to this he has the heading of the traditional distribution of the ethnic groups of the myth, the land of independence, nationhood, of the most effective safeguard for any group, and the most moral empoysed of the oppressed groups and haunted the world even.

THE NEW YEAR CALL THE GRIN REAPER In the year that has just passed into history three men of national fame stepped into the unknown. They were Henry Watterson, the brilliant and picturesque editor of the Courier-Journal; Philander C. Knox, the constitutional lawyer and statesman, and Henry Bols Penrose, the master mind in Pennsylvania politics and one of the dominant leaders in the Republican party. Henry Watterson reached the ripe age of eighty-one and is the last of the old school of amorous and stantior writers. He was both grandly eloquent and a collar of phrases that stuck in the memory. His redundant and pervidid rhetoric has now been exchanged for the conversational and colloquial style. That style has now become the style of the popular writers and orators Orators no longer imitate the grandeur and dignity of Daniel Webster. Nor do preachers imitate the gorgeous rhetoric and redundant verbage of Richard Baler Storera. It is unfortunate that Pennsylvania should lose from the U.S. Senate in the same year such a lawyer and stateman as Philander C. Knox and such a masterful leader as Henry Hue Penrose. It will be a long while before two men of equal ability and influence will sit in the United States Senate from the same State. Among the prominent man of color who fell beneath the strokes of the Grim Reaper last year was Dr. Hubert Heaton Washington Ross, a Boston dentist.

Out of this contact, we have, we have learned, the knowledge of the intellectual worth of the present-day Negro. The present generation of Negroes is far removed from the slaves of one hundred years ago. The Negro migrated to a civilization that he understands and is able to copy with him.

FERRIS RECEPTION OF HIS EXCEL- LENCY HON JOHN SYDNEY DeBOURG AT CONSUELO On Sunday, November 20, the Consulio branch of Division No. 28 of the U N I A. and A. C L gave a reception in honor of his Excellency the Hon John Sydney DeBourg. West Indian leader Prior to this his Excellency held a lengthy conference with Administrators Bass & Kilbourne on Monday, November 14, who, after hearing the aims and objects explained by his Excellency, gave it their free permission and warmest approval for the continuation of the work of the U N I A. and A. C L on the estate. The enthusiasm of the members knew no bounds when they found themselves at liberty to hold a meeting and on Sunday) afternoon at about 9 o'clock great crowds were seen warding their ways towards the hall. Punctually at 4:20 the meeting was called to order by its chairman, Mr A. Labega, with the singing of "From Greenland's Ice Mountain" followed by prayer. "God of the right our battles in fight." The credentials of his Excellency were then read by the chairman, who made some fitting remarks in explanation of the purpose of his mission, and introduced his Excellency to a crowded house of about 500 including members and visitors. More than 100 were compelled to stand outside the hall because of lack of room. Amid great applause his Excellency arose, selecting as his subject "The Destiny of the Negroes in Their Own Handa." In a bright and earnest manner he pointed out the many defects in us as a race and laid before us the only plan for our salvation. He exhorted us to have the U N I A and its glorious program. He told us that the Black Star Line defend us here or in any other part of the world and that when it failed to do that they would have to shut it down even in the city of New York. He made a strong appeal for the Black Star Line and the other corporations. At the close of his address the band struck up Ethiopia Thou Land of Our Father, the audience standing while the strains of the gourant anthem filled the house. It was a timely address at a timely season. The people were filled with a new spirit new zeal for the cause and new determination to go forward. A cake bearing the colors of the assoition was then presented to his Excellency as a token of esteem. Ice cream and raspberry syrups were also served. The meeting came to a close by singing the "Doxology." A collection amounting to $12,833 was taken up. Much credit must be given the Conduit band for the splendid program rendered. Sincere thanks and deep gratitude are expressed by every grateful member of the U.N. A and A C.L. to the authorities of this planation for their beneficence in allowing us to hold meetings at any time except during working hours. Great thanks must be given the officers and members as well as the Black Cross Nurses for their united efforts in making his Excellency's visit a success. Deep regret is felt by all that, even though the authorities of the estate have given consent, the antagonism of the military against the organization is such that we are compelled to refrain from holding meetings, although the Dominican Government is in full accord with the objects of our grand organization Yours for race uplift M A. LABEGA THE PROGRESS OF THE U. N. L. A. IN EDMONTON, ALTA, CANADA THE PROGRESS OF THE U. N. L. A. IN EDMONTON, ALTA, CANADA At this time, when all divisions throughout the entire world are expressing their satisfaction, or dissatisfaction, of the men that were sent out to the various States and countries as commissioners for the U N. I. A. I have much pleasure at this time, as president of the Edincon Division, to inform the members of the race through the columns of The Negro World that His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey was divinely directed when he appointe. Hon. George D. Drees of Sydney, N. B., as Commissioner for the Dominion of Canada. In Alberta and throughout the Dominion. Commissioner Creece has been displaying the spirit of true leadership, executive ability, oratory, statemaness, zealousness, integrity and moral love to an extent that is reflecting credit, glory and honor to our famous leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey Since the Commissioner came to our city he has received our enthusiasm and gained the respect and confidence of the people to such an extent that during his meetings our hall was filled every night. The people regret very much that his stay with us was so short. We are now planning for his return in the spring. The Commissioner found the Edmontonians quite hospitable and congenial; they spared no effort to make his stay with us one long to be remembered. I am under the impression that if Edmonton was there centrally located in the Dominion he would make his headquarters here instead of Toronto. We are very sorry that he found Edmonton, as well as the other four divisions in Alberta, somewhat misdirectedly embarrassed, and the people Sir William H Ferrie Dear Sir could not give as liberally as they wanted to. His appeals were imploring and with so much sincerity that the member, yes even non-members, showed signs of tears because they could not contribute as liberally as they wanted to. One thing we must congratulate the Commissioner for is his wonderful business ability; he has staged a ten thousand dollar building fund drive for our division. In order to raise this amount of money from the public we first have to lay our plans before the Board of Trade for endorsement, when they have consented we will then solicit the whole city and raise this amount for the benefit of the U N I A. The Commissioner also instituted the envelope system, whereby each member will subscribe $2$ or more towards this fund. The amount will be paid in weekly or monthly installments in such an easy way that I think the plan should be copied by all the progressive divisions. Another stroke of wisdom by our notable Commissioner is that a great thanksgiving and rally day will be celebrated by every division in Canada on December 25 at 3 a.m. The division's chaplain, together with our local preacher, are asked to preach a message to Ethiopia's scattered children, and every member of the race will be called upon to give something towards this rally for the good of the race and help the U N L A. in its grand and noble work. Such money's raised will be handed over to the Commissioner, who will remit same to the parent body to the credit of each division towards the African Redemption Fund. These are only a few of the great things that have been done by Commissioner Cresco in Alberta. We are pleased, and feel highly honored to have such a person as Mr. Cresco to be our Commissioner. he has done more good, solved more knotty problems and explained the aims and objects of the U N L A. than anyone who has visited us before. All Alberta wished to thank His Excellence) the Hon. Marcus Garvey for appointing as our Commissioner this polished gentleman and born diplomat in the person of Hon. Geo. D Cresco. We wish the Commissioner all success and hope to have him as Commissioner for several years. T H GOLDEN. President Edmonton Division, U N I A and A C L. Edmonton, Alta., Canada, November 2, 1921 DR. FAIRCLOUGH SWEEPS POPULATION OF NEWPORT NEWS LIKE HURRICANE Newport News Division No. 6 Swings to the Fore— Fairclough Lauded as Hon. Marcus Garvey the Second (Special to the Negro World) By I. S. CURRY, Brig. Gen. NEWPORT NEWS, VA. Nov 27 Torrents upon torrents of rain fell here today and the cold bleak gray sky seems to frown upon the patrons of Liberty Hall, but promptly at 3.30 p. m. the faithful few were there. The sky again seems to threaten the followers at 7.30 p. m. to hear Dr. B. B. Falroough's farswell address, but on they came, crowds upon crowds, and long are the straining of 'Greenland's Icy Mountains' were floating across the majestic that the ushers were puzzled about the seating capacity, and when the grand and noble doctor entered the hall, thousands of applauders arose while the Red, the Black and the Green waved gallantly beside Old Glory. The doctor was cacophonized by Brig. Glen. I. B. Curry, the second youngest president in the world. A delightful musical program was rendered by the Liberty Hall chair under the passless leadership of Prof. T H. Snead, cholmater, which seemed to please the audience to a high degree. The program was as follows—Music, U N I A choir, opening ope; Prayer, by the chaplein, Rev. Godfrey; salection, U N I A choir, recitation; Master John Stancel Jr.; selection, East End Division No. 103 Quartet; recitation, Miss Elaine Henderson; solo, Misa Rosen Richardson; duet, Miss Fiosse Flosse; trio, Miss Elisabeth Hinton Hines; remarka, Major J. J. White, of the U A. Legion; duet, Miss White and Broxton; offering; introduction of the speaker by Dr. Clarke. After a clarke and masterly address by Dr. Clarke, Dr Falcolough was then introduced, and as he arose to his feet a thunderous, vociferous and roaring applause greeted him. He chose for his subject, "To Go to Prepare a Place for You." He proved himself to be a superator, and there was death-like alliance in the hall as the eloquent words of oratory fall from his lips, many sat and allytweed as he told his hearers that, if they never see him again, and if he should die, they must remember that he died in defense of 400,000,000 Negroes and the Red, the Black and the Green, and he also revernted that he had one life to lose for his country, his race and his chief. He told the Ninees to be loving to one another, have no disagreement with each other; hate no race, fear no one but God; and to ally remember Old Glory (voilership applause), for as soon as we are ready to cross the Nile to plant the Red, the Black and the Green on the mountain; tales of Africa, God and Old Glory will help us to go over (Thunderous applause). He also charged the Black Green THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 The 30,000 members of the New York Local are requested to be in attendance.

BY ORDER NEW YORK DIVISION, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President Nurses that they must be ready to give aid to the wounded and dying when the Universal Legions shall charge on through Africa to capture the great secret or die, and report to God the reason why 400,000,000 Negroes could win their way to liberty. (Roaring and bombastic applause.) His last utterance provoked cheers upon cheers, while old men and women, gray and hoary, wept, and as he sat down cheers and shouts and handkerchiefs and tears are heard and seen as the mellow strains of "Auld Long Syne" peeled forth from the organ. The gallant, big-hearted doctor with tears in his eyes, said. "I have been with you for four weeks and I am now saying farewell. By Dr. Fairlough's uniting, *Aorta*, Newport News Division has awoken to the fore again, driving for 1,000 members. Every principal church has been opened to him, the fearless editor of the Star, in the person of Col. Mott; N. Lewis, has joined the South's most eminent surgeon, Dr. W. T. Foreman, being in harness as a member of the U. N. L. A. Dr. Fairlough also organised two more chapters at Jefferson Park, with the Hon. W. L. McFadgen as president, the other at Writers Creek, with the Hon. W. William Johnson as president—all driving hard to make the movement a success. Deputy Hon. B. A. Ovens has been giving very valuable service since his return from the convention. Dr Fairlough also organized the Boy Scouts, which is now 125 strong. The officers and members of this division are very grateful to the parent body for sending such a loyal and diplomatic response as Dr B. B. Fairclough to them. U. N. I. A. DIV. 156 IN LOS ANGELES, CAL., FORGING AHEAD U. N. I. A. DIV. 156 IN LOS ANGELES, CAL., FORGING AHEAD The members of Division No. 156 were stirred recently by three distinguished orators from the parent body—Honor E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legions: His Excellency J W H Eason, the American leader, and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davie, the International Organiser Dr Eason made some inspiring speeches during his stay in Los Angeles, his subject being. The World-Wide Movement for the Unification of the Negro's interest. He outlined his subject in such a manner that all could understand. He stated that he would like to see all the colored people of Los Angeles before he left the city. Dr Eason left for Oakland, Cal. on November 10, but will return to carry on a ten-day campaign. On Sunday afternoon, December 4, we had Lady Henrietta Vincent Davis with us. She was greeted by the people of Los Angeles, Division 158, and was escorted by the Black Cross Nurses from the door to the roostrum. The meeting was opened to order Rev Jonca, the vice-president, presiding. A program was rendered, consisting of selections by the Western Jubilee Singers and readings. The selections by the singers were accorded great applause. Her Ladyship Henrietta Vinton Davis was the principal speaker of the day. Her remarks were very encouraging to the lovers of Garveylam. She gave thanks to Mr L. Michel for the wonderful article sent by him to the California Eagle on her first visit here. She said that she will go to Africa on the first ship of the Black Star Line to sail, which it is expected will be soon. H A. HOWARD. 1172 East Twelfth Street, Los Angeles, Cal. U. N. L. A. BRANCH IN BOG WALK, JAMAICA, B. W. I. On Sunday, November 27, Commissioner James O'Meally and Mr S. M. Jones, president of the Kingston Division, went to Bog Walk, where they organized a branch of the U. N. I. A. Mr Jones gave an inspiring address on the objects and aims of the association, and called upon the man present to enroll their names. The High Commissioner said he would not make a speech, as Mr Jones had said all that was necessary. Thirty members were then enrolled and the election of officers was then proceeded with. Mr Arnold Lescene, who was elected general secretary, is an ardent Garveyite and a radical in the cause of Afric He is energetic, intelligent, full of ideas, and well respected, and has adopted as his motto: God and Garvey. U. N. I. A. Branch High Gate Garvieship is gradually spreading through the island of Jamaica. Since the arrival of the Commissioner, a new wave of enthusiasm has taken hold of the people who want to see branches established throughout the island. And from the inhabitants of this thriving center to organize a branch of the U. N. I. A. at High Gate. The school was kindly lent by the Rev Graham, M L. C. and the meeting arranged by Mr William Clarke, who is anxious to see the truth propagated in his district. The meeting began with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," and after a short address by the chairman the Commissioner was introduced. He outlined the objects and aims of the association in a clear, intelligent and sane manner. He held the audience spellbound whee he drew a vivid picture of the suffering of the sons of Africa at home and abroad, but told them that they were now standing on the dawn of a new and better oech in which the Negro had a chance to assert his claims to equal treatment and demand them by organization. One Mr. Kent, who came all the way from Richmond to attend the meeting, gave an eloquent address which was well received and appreciated by the audience. Another link in the chain of N. U. I. A branches has been forged, and we are confident that, in a short while, every town and every village will have a branch of this grand association. We have an energetic Commissioner who is beloved by the people, and who is well able to look after the interest of the association. BRUCE A. LORBER. THE SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, U. N. L. A. December 1. 1921. The San Francisco Branch No. 148, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, celebrated their first anniversary last Monday evening, November 28, 1921, at Hamilton Hall, corner of Geary and Steiner streets. The hall was tastefully decorated with paper festooning of red, black and green; the lights were shaded to produce a soft glow. The hall was decorated with the decoration. The officers and ushers wore badges. It was fitting and proper to make this our first appearance at Hamilton Hall one of success, as it will be our future meeting place. The hall was not crowded, pre- sumably due to the fog and rain. Precisely as 8 o'clock the president sounded the gavel calling the meeting to order with the singing of the opening invocation by Dr. Gooldyk of the Basha M. E. Church. The president in his forceful and commanding style welcomed the officers, members and friends of the San Francisco Branch, stalling the purpose for which we were met and moved to the amazonia of the greatest Negro organization in the world, one that stands for Negro freedom in every capacity and walk of life. He introduced the master of ceremonies, Mr. Tatum, whose stirring address brought forth applause. This night was also set apart for the presentation of two flags to the local. The Lady President, Mrs. E. L. Ford, presented the American flag, during the unfurling of which Mrs. Gaynea, the division's pianist, played "The Star-splendid Banner." Next in order, bringing applause before and after the presentation, was our own dark African colors, the Red, Black and Green. Our ex-president, F. R. Johnson, presented it with fitting and complimentary remarks. The president, smiling, rose amid great applause, congratulating the division for the efforts put forward, exhorting them to uphold their banner and not allow it to ever trail behind. While Miss Brown unfurled the colors that mean so much to us, the pianist was pealing out the Ethiopian anthem. Mrs. McCloud rendered a solo that elicited much hand-olapping. The ex-president read a paper on loyalty; the Lady President read the General's weekly message. Miss Brown rendered a piano solo. The call of the U. N. I. A. was given by Mrs. Ivy A. G. Goupain, who tried to impress upon the audience the necessity of linking themselves with this organization, if freedom they ever hoped to obtain. After heaven the U. N. I. A. comes next for us, it means more to the Negro race than anything else. The house ring with applause at the conclusion of her talk. Rev. Goolbyish gave a Scriptural quotation asking us God-speed on our journey. Mrs. Ivy A. G. Goupain, the charter, at the end of which Mr. Dean of Panama, accompanied by Mrs. Gayne, sang the Ethiopian anthem, Mrs. E. Robertson treated us to a fine piano selection.

NONTREAL NOTES It is with regret that we report the death of Mrs. Rainford, which has occurred during this week in a local hospital. Mrs. Rainford was the most conscientious woman in the local branch. She did not only speak about doing things, but she also accomplished much. An eloquent speaker, the disciplined cadence of her voice stirred many an amiless listener to nobile action. Hers was the postic soul—the soul aesthetic—with a passion and a courage Spartan in extreme. For many months of intense anxiety she struggled—borne from home to hospital—from hospital to asylum, and back to home, then again to hospital to die, bewildered in mind and brain, and with the burden of our race on her heart; a pre to circumstance, and a product of grief. With no sympathy from her own, and no assistance gave from her un- fortunate husband, she rejoiced in the belief and in the prospect of an antic- pated victory. Her suffering was in- comparable, and as one could not see any signs of recovery after a patient waiting, it is but justified that her death should be hailed as a relief; no more sorrowing, no more greening, no more bitterness, no more tears. She is gone, but her name shall always linger in our memory, and the U. N. I. A. may rejoice in that it has converted a soul from the glimmer of a post mprtem pleasure to the undy- ing consolation of the true value of life. Mrs. Reinford is survived by her husband and little Dolly. May she rest in peace. CHARLES H. D. ESTE. Washer $1.50 UP SENT INMEDIATELY NO. THROW AWAY YOUR WASHBOARD.

"From Greenland's Ioy Mountains," Liberty Hall being packed to overflowing with no standing room was the sight of many spectators anxiously waiting to hear the voice of their esteemed friend, Mr Moralis. The chairman made his opening address and retiring, called upon the vice-president of the Montego Bay Division to address the meeting. In a masterly manner Mr. R. L. Williams roam among cheers and made a stirring address and asked all the people present to stick to their lender until a free and redeemed Africa be achieved. The chairman then called upon a Cuban member of the Preston Division to address the meeting. Senior Aurelio de Lara rose and was also applauded by all for his illustrious manner in handling the subject in Spanish. The next item was a violin solo beautifully rendered by Mr. Barclay, after which Lieutenant Mattis delivered a short but graceful address which was very interesting. We were fortunate enough to have also with us a member of the Kingston, Jamaica Division, who interested us with a lovely address, telling us what Jamaica is doing and that Kingston today is boasting of 1,400 members strong and that within a short time he hoped to see a black governor ruling Jamaica. He was heartily cheered and his sentiments well received, as most of us were wondering what Jamaica was doing. At this stage the High Commissioner arose, and after the singing of the National Anthem, "Ethiopia, Thou Land of Our Father," he made a powerful address in Spanish to which the Cubans began cheering, being very much delighted, and asked him to make a speedy return to Bansu, when they will have more of him and more information about the aims and object of the U. N. I. A. At the close of his address in Spanish he appealed to all present to stick to the movement and to their leader, and at no distant future our aims will be achieved. This brought most delightful evening to a close. R. G. MURRAY, Assistant Reporter Banes Division, Orte, Cuba. *The lack of organization among our people is responsible for our condition. From a careful analysis it seems that the Negro as a whole is too directly interested in the things that personally affect him to give any thought of time of the things that will affect the race as a whole. We must be frightened enough to look beyond the moment's gait, and not regard the rights of the white race, with a cruel indifference. We must learn that the white is greater than any of its parts that we cannot expect either races at the head of our organization to take more interest in than we take in ourselves. They will feed, then hurt and any other person to an angry leadership. For the sake of our ambition mankind, we want to be President, Secretaries of State, Chief Counsel, Senators, Ambassadors, Governors, and Admirals, and his duty, by following our THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 The conditions of the present day justify the needs for organization, which is the only remedy. And in this enlightened age there is no excuse for the man or woman who does not know how we as a race stand among the other races of the world. We need organization as organization alone can save us from becoming extinct within the next century. We must stop thinking of things essential to our immediate existence, with no thought of our posterior, no thought of our future happiness and prosperity. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only organization with a constructive program, and is fostered with sincerity in all things pertaining to mutual welfare and advancement of the race. The business, industrial social, political and professional element should blend together for one common cause and find common grounds for the proper solution of the perplexing problem which daily confronts us. And the N I A is the only organization that points the way out of the difficulty. No propaganda can lead astray the other-minded Negro from that path that leads to freedom. Freedom politically, freedom commercially, freedom socially, financially and otherwise. We shall succeed, for our cause is righteous. We shall succeed for our cause is just. We shall succeed for its the orying need of four hundred million suffering, struggling souls. Let us never cease agitating until Africa is free. Then and only then will the other races be compelled to respect us. May God bless the N I A. and its program for it has awakened our hearts and pointed us to a brighter future. DETROIT NEWS White Inspector of Police Department Apologized to Detroit Division, U. N. I. A., and Indorsed Move- The Detroit Division of the U N. I A. was on the night of December 8, 1921, laudably addressed by Inspector Rayman (white) of the Detroit police department. His address was listened to with keen interest, as he was the first of the city officials and of the Michigan police department to climb the U N. I A. stage. It was humored with anecdotes and a pleasantly tempered attitude. The reason for his address was to apologize to Mr. Carry, a member of the Detroit Division of the U. N. I. A. who was badly beaten by a Detroit patrolman on the night of October 27 when a patrol wagon came to the U. N. I. A. Hall and took away some of our members. A committee was appointed on the night mentioned to demand the release of these members, who had done nothing against the law. This committee was headed by the president, Lawyer Alonzo D. Pottiford, and all of the members were released, except Mr. Carry, who was beaten. The president determined to press a case against the police department for its unlawful abuse of peaceful citizens, and therefore warned Inspector Raymon, who came and apologized. A splendid little program was rendered on Thanksgiving Day on which occasion the State Commissioner, Mr. W. A. Wallace, was the principal speaker. One of the most attractive features was a drill exercise by Company A of the Detroit branch of the African Legion. The boys were polled with dimes and quarters. During our series of program several wide-awake young men took part and displayed a heart-felt interest. A lot of these were Mr. Tarver, one of the leading business men of the race in the city, Mr. Arthur Owen and Mr. J. Milton Van Lowe. The members of the Detroit Division regret the death of Mr. George Hill, a loyal and financial member, who died in the Reciving Hospital on Friday, December 9, and beg to express sympathy to his survivors in their bereavement. On Wednesday night, December 14, a reception was given in honor of Mrs. J. C. Tibba, ox-lydale president, who resigned to take up her abode in another part of the country. The State Commissioner, Mr. W. A. Wallace, was present at this reception. We wish to say that Mr. Wallace is an honest worker and a splendid man who seems to have the work deep in his soul. J. N. L. REV.J.L.ROWLETT STRIKES FATAL BLOWS AT PLAN OF CRACKER UNIONISTS --- MEHIRRIN, Va., Dec. 17.—Cherry Hall was ablaze with enthusiasm when the Rev. J. L. Rowlett, the widely-known orator, called the club of U N. I. A. workers together in a community program, of which he is chairman and spokesman. Rev. Rowlett has been working in the interest of the U N. I. A. for some time in 1820. He spent much time in working with the people of Hopewell, Va. and after much hardship managed to organise the Hopewell Division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. He is just as galeous in his efforts now to bring the light in the people of Mahirrin as ever. For about eight months he has been n-tating, in favor of the Garvey movement. The Cherry Hall vocal music class under his direction furnished beautiful music on the occasion. Mr. Gilson Daswall was the first speaker. Mr. Daswall had a well constructed paper which was admired by all. The subject was, "There No Room in the Ink," taken from St. Lukes' Gospel. He likened the position of the Negro in America to that of the童 when He was refused the ordinary privileges of the early days of Christianity. But the speech of the evening was delivered by Rev. Rowlett, who took it. Both to work for the heartiest treatment of the LOUIS D.

On top of this comes another, in the person of Loula B. Bulger a Alabama boy, born twenty-four years ago.

Others will remember him when he appeared in the stage plays of The Bianpo Carriage." The Squaw Man" and with Tollivera "Bimart Sot Players." Mr. Bulger has been striving for years with one purpose in mind, and that is to do something, to create something, to achieve something that would mean a further advancement between the blacks and the whites. That Mr. Bulger has accomplished the is beyond question of a doubt About a year and a half ago Mr Bulger disappeared from among his friends and went into obscurity with one big thought in his mind namely, to show the world that the colored man could, in spite of all handicaps, lack of proper education, do big things in the literary world as well as the white man. And what did he do? He buried himself away in a little garret room here in New York and started to work.

As members of this humanitarian auxiliary of the Universal Negro Improvement Association let us ever keep in mind our duty so that at the end of this new year we can each and every one of us look around in our various communities and see the fruits of our labor—in a community more alive to the laws of hygiene and sanitation, in a community more alive to the welfare of its children and last, but by no means least, in a community not so gullible, that white physicians and other professionals will find it no longer a good investment to advertise in our weeklies.

At last inspiration came and he has completed a story that is to be put into motion pictures, and that without quation of a doubt will create the greatest sensation ever achieved in the history of motion pictures. In this story Mr. Bulger has brought out the colored man in a way that, in spite of the color of his skin, there is hidden behind this black outer covering a heart that is whiter than many found among white men. Yet in this he gives no offense to either the black or the white but shows what can be done and what will be done if the races will only stop for a moment to think. This story and the sufferings that Mr. Bulger has gone through practically put him in a class with such great writers as Oliver Goldsmith, Edgar Allen Poe and Alexander Dumna. The story has to do with the sacrifice of a colored man for his race, and in it he commits a noble deed that will make even the white race gasp. The remarkable point about Mr Bulger is that his education has been only through the public school. Circumstances never did permit him to go to high school, but by hard and persistent work he has educated himself to a point equal to that of any college-bred man but with it all he has not lost sight of the one big thing in his life—the thing that was taught to him by his mother, who still lives in Alabama, and that one big thought is that the colored people are the equal in all things mental and physical. Dr Riesenfeld, director-general of the Rialto Rivoli and Criterion theatres, New York has read this story and has warmly complimented Mr Bulger on his literary and motion-picture efforts, Dr Riesenfeld amplying said that it was one of the best times he ever read and that there will be no question that the picture will find a place in the leading motion picture theatres on Broadway IS LYNCHING OF CIVILIZATION' to Modify Term to Avoid or Inadvertently Put Lynch- tuelling and Vendetta The following letter addressed to Mr. Eric D Walrond, of The Negro World, by Prof Edward Alaworth Ross, of the Department of Economics, of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin is self explana- tory: Mr Eric D Walrond My dear air.

Who in anticipation of their might Forgot the powers of justice, love and right. See! as they fall, oppressions rise and foe. Enslaved, curret victims, now released and free! The vanquished train speeds back into the past. The last becoming first, the first is last! I see the pilgrims' vessels swarm the sea. Now sailing eastward to their country, free! I see them eastward bound, no more to foam: Argyll with manhood now returning home! I see a people dare in spite of fate, I see a commonwealth of vast estate, I see the darker nations win a war, I see them mount and ride the victors' car! I see brigand exploiters all subdued, I see our ancient master-minds renewed! I see the cons of Ham, by God esteemed, I see an enslaved continent redeemed! I see a great commercial nation rise, I see a financial state their prime, I see them independent, stand alone, I see them with all nations hold their own. I see them by a stroke the world empire; No more to stoop, or cringe, nor compromise! I see them cope with diplomacy. And then, I see them handle world affairs as men! I see them take their stand as though by storm, I see the self-styled monarchs' and reform. I see by faith, and prayer, our powers increased. I see the whole of Africa released! Thus, retribution shall return the rods: For Ethiopia's foes are foes of God! And as the unmitted victims prostrate lay: GOD'S ETHIOPIA SHALL RECLARE HER DAY!

WHITE PEOPLE VERSUS NEGROES BEING THE STORY OF A GREAT BOOK some time in August, 1817, I picked up in a Negro book shop a book entitled "From Superman to Man," by J. A. Rogara. I sat down to read it and did not rise from my seat until I had read it through. Then I paid for it and took it home, realizing that I had found a genuine treasure. Of the author I could learn nothing, as there was no publisher's name and address in the volume, which had been published by the author at his own expense. Two years later, while in Washington, I came across a second edition of the book, bearing this time the imprint of the "Goodpeod Press." I wrote them at once, got the author's address, and wrote to tell him how high I thought of his book. Since then I have reviewed it in The Negro World and elsewhere I still insist that it is the greatest book ever written in English on the Negro by a Negro, and I am glad to know that increased thousands of black and white readers re-echo the high opinion of it which I had expressed. Three years later, tailed a notice of the him $28 The Journery, as well as the received copies of No. "As Nature Leads." not taken notice so far.

Since then I have reviewed it in The Negro World and elsewhere I still insist that it is the greatest book ever written in English on the Negro by a Negro, and I am glad to know that increased thousands of black and white readers re-echo the high opinion of it which I had expressed. During the period from 1917 to the present this book has made its way to success without one word of encouragement or praise from any of the more prominent Negro writers or editors except Mr. Ferris and myself, although free copies had to be dr. Dr. Bola, Kelly Miller, Benjamin Brawley, Monroe Trotter, Prof. Scarborough, Braithwaite, and many others, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Almost the only colored people who helped to spread its fame were the lesser known and humble clauses, who still pilgrimage to 518 Lemon avenue in quest of it. The best known Negroes have failed to notice it. What the Whites Did It was a colored woman who used to do day's work at the University of Chicago, who showed a copy to one of the university professors, Professor Faber, a Southern white woman. She read it and at once wrote Mr. Rogers to say that she considered it to be "the finest bit of literature she had read on the subject," and that she had placed it on the required reading list for her classes. In addition, she had placed in the university library. Some time later she gave a reception at her home to her students (all white) and invited the author (a Negro) to come and speak to them on the subject of the book—the Negro in history and civilization. She bought fourteen copies and sent them to leading white educators at such leading universities as Minnesota and Michigan, and to librarians at the leading scientific libraries. A colored Catholic got hold of the book by accident. It was then passed on to the Catholic Board for Mission Work. Among Colored People. They sent a white priest to Chicago to look up the author; but this man failed to find Ragner, who was away from home working as a Pulman porter. So they sent a letter saying that: "The members of the board have read with much interest and pleasure your book. 'From Superman to Man.' There are more objections against the colored race answered satisfactorily and convincingly in this book than in any book we have read upon the question. We intend using it as a textbook for the advancement of our students in the knowledge of the race question." The letter ended with an immediate order for twenty-five copies. The Catholic College in Greenbush, Pa., followed with an order for ten copies for use in their sociology class. Since then they have asked Mr. Rogers to write for them a catechism on the race question for use in their schools, to be printed first in their magazine of 60,000 circulation. And about two weeks ago they sent him a present of $500 for Christmas as a reward and encouragement of the same. Mr. Rogers, the way, is not a Catholica. These two cases are just samples. What the Big Negroes Didn't In the meanwhile he had sent a copy of the book to every leading Negro college in the country, to Atlanta Flake, Wilberforce, Howard, Tuskegee Shawt, to Dr. Du-Bola, Dr Spingarn and Dr. Bunley, head of the N. A. A. C. P. in Chicago, and to the N. A. A. C. P. in New York, under the curious delusion that an Association for the Advancement of Colored People would like to hear of a book in which the cause of colored people was or well advanced. He also mailed them letters. But they were too ill-treated and unmannerly to yachatch him a reply. Opinions of the book, accompanied by letters, were also sent to Kelly Miller, Borthwale, Gorborough Isaac Fisher, of Tuskegee; Brawley, of Morhouse College; Banke of Mound Bayou, and many others. Kelly Miller and Isaac Parker acknowledged receipt but made no comment. The lady-like Brawley replied that the book was "rather interesting," but that the author made a great effort, putting philosophy in the form of fiction, and hoped that if he wrote fiction, he wouldn't commit the same, more serious, against the fraternity Brawley teaches of exiled set of saying holing. The book by the hero is in his mind a work of note, than in Gurley, "Stories Brawley," as the "Mississippi of Plato." The truth is that Brawley knew a work was, too absurd, so much more artful, opinion, worth a national difference, than Spender Matthew, of Columbia, partly united a short, white book. The editor, Siddey Brown, but Virgil Browne, of Mississippi, whom the most distinguished and most merriest sons of the family, the leading New Yorker, and the Glenon Minstery, the Brawley Minstery, the Spender Matthew, of Columbia, partly united a short, white book. ```markdown ``` Three years later the Defender carried a notice of the book, and charged him $28. The Journal of Negro History, as well as the Crisis have also published a Nogrow second book. As "Nature Leads," they have taken on no notice so far. What the Little Negroes Did What the Little Negroes did On the other hand. Mr Hugens says. "Negroes to whom the book was not sent recognized it for themselves and sought me out with helpful greetings and generous praise. Among these were the Rev George Prasner Miller, of St Augustine (Church, Brooklyn Moskau. Arthur Schomburg Wm. H. Perria. John E. Bruce and Hubert Harrison. None of them knew me personally except Perria. Harrison wrote me a warm letter of congratulation in 1919 and reviewed the book in a magazine and later in the Negro Woman's Journal. But don't let them know that you are colored or they'll never notice you. They are somewhat color-bind on genius. Harrison's belief was confirmed beforehand, as the book had been sent two years before and no notice had been taken of it. But two colored school teachers of Washington—Mrs. N. T. Mears and Mrs. R.G. Moore—sold hundreds of copies, refusing an remuneration and Mr Nathaniel Guy sent a copy at his own expense to every judge and truant officer in the District of Columbia. The book is now in its third edition. Can We Explain? Such is the history of a masterpiece of literature. How can we explain the conduct of the colored big wigs? Perhaps there are two explanations. The Negroes whom Christian slavery reduced to the social level of brushes still have today some of the fruits of the slave. And one of those finds continuous expression in our "big Negroes" namely, "Don't help to push any other Negro into notice if you have won notice yourself. Notice for them detracts from your notice." So, we find that "big Negroes" prefer to advance ignorance since their own superiority will thereby be enhanced. To advance a "comer" might abate their own brilliance. God help us as a race, so long as this contemptible trait shall flourish among us! But I don't think that this explains all of it. There is another reason which will shock many. The truth is that many of our "brightest" minds have not yet developed any intellect of their own. They can give you the most brilliant expations of Shaw, Dunbar or Marin—provided he has been previously explained for them. But when they are asked to explain a new writer whom no one from them they draw their opinions has yet seen or sampled, they are "stuck." I know young men like Mr. King and Mr. Sunday who can do it. But they are not prominent yet. No one knows them. Do Bui and Owen, Brawley and Randolph, Johnson and Kelly Miller cannot do it. It requires a quality of independent judgment that is certain of itself and sure of its ground. Herein "education" (which can be poured into a person) is no substitute for intellect, which is one's own. The men whom I have named are men of "education"—some of them men of culture. But Ernest Just, Alain Le Roy Locke, King and Karen are men of intellect. They can think for themselves in the face of a brand-new fact. The others can't. Yet it is these others that our black world mistakes for men of light and leading. When Claudie McKay erupted in notice these colored pseudo-i-tellables couldn't tell from reading his poems that he was worth noting. But now that their superiors have spoken they take Claudie out to lunch and lionize him "most much." As with McKay, so with Rogera. As soon as these copy-cats shall have learned from their teachers how great is "From Superman to Man." th.-w. "To Willow his book." In the meanwhile it is well that they should know how those of us who have eyes to see have taken their tiny measure. "Guys custodiet ipes custodes!" asks the old Vulgate, and we of today reach it in modern terms: "Who shall put brains in our brainy men." 135TH ST. LIBRARY NOTES "12darn Racial Problems" lecture course On Thursday evening, January 5, Mr. R. V. Flummer, of the United Negro Improvement Association, will speak on the subject: "The New Negro Socks Racial Unity." Everyone is cordially invited. All features are free and discussion is welcome. Calendar of events in library. Heneoforth a calendar of all library events will appear in this paper each week. Watch this column. Library Book Shelf The library waits to feature the new book on the library. The first is Benjamin Brawley's "Social History of the Negro." Mr. Brawley's work is well known to this public, and nothing more, is needed to call attention to a new book of his. Another interesting title is Hamlin Garland's "Daughter of the Middle Border." This is a companion book to his "Son of the Middle Border." Hamlin Garland is well recognized as an expoint of published life in our American Middle West. The third book which my readers will be interested in is Lyman, Abbotte "Abbotitudes" of My Contemporaryers. This return of the religious newspaper world had an entrance in the lives and fortunes of the unidentified author. He wrote word pictures, on the values of P. M. Marrane, Hilda Hilda Wright John, John H. Whillard, Gen. William Booth, Booth T. Washington, and a number of other works. Andrew H H THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JANUARY 7. 1922 "THE POSSIBILITIES OF GARVEYISH" True it is, as far as mankind is concerned, the Negro is considered to be outside of the pale of humanity. In some quarters many do not think the Negro is a man. Others have gone as far as to express that, in not only words, but actions. Even though they have up to date failed to prove this assertion physiologically, anthropologically, anthromorphically, ethnologically or otherwise. The fact remains, in spite of all, that the Negro is a man, and as such holds no secondary place on the human plane. God, the Creator and the One who is directly responsible for our presence among the races of Africa, the Himalayas, and as part of the humal, family, and is therefore ungrudgingly making hoste to help us. We will be helped. We will come on top. We were on top before and we will be on top again. regardless of our ability to help ourselves, we are bound to rise. God from time immemorial has always had a "man" somewhere whom he could use to do his bidding. When Israel misbehaved and He wanted to wreck Jerusalem He used Neubuch-nezzar. When He wanted to rebuild Jerusalem He used Neubuch. When He wanted to save the land of Egypt from famine and death. He used Joseph, the brilliant and beloved son of Jacob. When He wanted to save France and Germany He used Napoleon and Blaincarp. When He wanted to save England. He used Wellington, Kitchener and Jefferson. To save Almera. He uo of Washington Lincoln and the redemption of Africa and her people who are scattered throughout the world. To do that He is using the undaunted, the irreversible, the invincible, the irresistible, the triumvir of Negrodom, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the greatest hero since the days when God said, "Let us make man Like a good physician, Garvey has diagnosed the situation. His plan is good, sound, secure, based on observation, investigation and study. He has discovered the "specific" needed. Hence the application, the beginning of which is "organization" When the Roman Catholic Church and other proponderous religious societies wanted to organize and have a following and to be able to function in different parts of the world, they adopted the same plan the Hen Garvey is using. They started their organization with a few reasons in some one country or city. And, after it had grown to some reasonable size, they then began to expand. They did not, however, for some unknown reason, recognize the advisability of running an ad in their journal, saying "Start a branch." But they selected and sent men from among them to different parts of the world, under orders to "start" branches. Men shile, that at headquarters contributed to the support of the men on the field, not leaving them to trust to "luck." After a while each branch started paid back all the money which was invested toward its creation, and then commenced to yield a profit—sending in continual remittances—the surplus after all expenses had been paid. The branch, therefore, did not cost the headquarters anything and is, in addition, an asset and a continual source of income. Suppose that society had three million (3,000,000) such branches, and each of them, after all local expenses were taken out, was able to turn in to the bank, so that the bank would deliver (8,000) each month don't think they would have enough money to build a nation, a navy, an army or a steamship life? Well, this is where the possibilities of Garveyism come in. Other possibilities are that Garvey will be able to control the funds belonging to every Negro the world over, and thereby compel them to work for the upbuilding of their fatherland, just as soon as his "bill of rights" is recognized all over the world. LIKES THE EDITORIALS IN "THE NEGRO WORLD" Nov. 14. 1921. Editor Negro World: EDUAR Negro World Dear Sir: I have been a constant reader of what I thought to be the best periodicals printed for the advancement of our race, both at home and abroad. Although I have been reading Ginsburg and New York Agenda and the Diefenbach even since former and the latter have been published, some time ago my attention was called to your most valuable paper, The Negro World, and from my view it is the only paper published that will, if adhered to by the Negroes who read it, solve the great Negro problem not only in America but the entire world. No race can hope to be a strong people unless it have a country of its own and a flag. I am writing you this letter to express my own feelings of my race. I have discontinued all the Negro periodicals and have been taking to devote all my spare time in reading the Negro World. But I have so much trouble in getting it every Saturday so I have come to the conclusion to have my name numbered among your subscribers. Therefore, you will please find enclosed money order for one year's subscription. Hoping that others may see the wisdom of doing likewise, for the redemption of our own Africa and the entire program as advanced by our noble chiefton, Marcus Garvey.

From Jamaica came a short, broad-shouldered youth who breathed the breath of a new spiritual life into these dry bones. We see him getting them together, putting on them flesh and blood, and launching a "Yarmouth," the first boat ever floated by a Negro steamerline, line. He had been the most successful trips to the West Indies, a new achievement on the part of the Negro. This is why the world looks at the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I remember when I was a freshman at Yale University President Dwight used to preach theological sorrow, and would say 'Gentlemen, you are what you are on account of the possibilities and potentialities of your personality.' I had to look into the dictionary to find out what potentialities meant. (Laughter) I found it meant the same thing as possibilities, only a little stronger. Now the world looks at the Universal Negro Improvement Association not for what it is now, but for its potentialities—for what it is possible for it to become a hundred million black man were to be permeated by the daintiness, interpid, adventurous spirit which characterizes the Universal Negro Improvement Association, no earthly human power could keep down this ratio of ours, or hold us back. (Applause) How Races, Nations and Individuals Rise Race rise, nations rise and individuals rise, not only through attaining the good-will of more dominant and more powerful race, but by having within themselves that great force to go forward, that spirit by which they can become strong and mighty. In the last analysis, the Negro destiny, his fate, rests in his own hands, and when he takes unto himself mental force, moral force, spiritual force, industrial force and material force, despite the color of his skin, despair the texture of his hair, he will make himself felt as a factor in this world's affairs and be looked reckoned with, and he will be looked reckoned with, and clearing regard with increasing respect. Negro is a harbinger of a new day. It took thousands of dollars for Harvard University to send professors to Ethiopia to discover what black men have already known—that the Ethiopians were black people; and finally, they discovered that the Queen of Sheba was a black woman, and I believe that as the pages of human history are written the black man's part (made possible through the wise and beneficent agency of the Universal Negro Improvement Association), in the origin of old times it will be most readily recounted, and we will remember that must strive to do what our ancestors did three thousand years ago (great applause). MR. G. E. CARTER BPEAKS Mr G. G. Carter as follows Your Excellency, the Hon. President General, Members of the Executive Council, Ladies and Gentlemen—It is a pleasure for me to be here tonight I have just been a few hours off the train, however, in this New Year per- haps if I would use any theme at all it would be "Gripping Essentials"; and if I would use any theme at all my Bible and select as a text. "Hold fast that which thou hast that no man take thy crown." Gripping Essentials From that text I would get the subject, Gripping Essentials. "There are some things in life that must be gripped, some things that must be held on to. Home things must be held on to with such firmness that men and women must be convinced that there is no turning loose that particular thing. First I would have you grip your faith-faith in yourself faith in your fellow men faith in God Christ never concerned Himself about that little word faith. You will take the Bible and search from Genesis to Revelations and you will find no definition of faith being given by the Master the greatest preacher that ever lived. Paul essayed to define the word faith and gave us man) beautiful pictures of what faith was like unto, which I would have you understand and know about. Must Demonstrate a Living Faith If you would put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—and it is going to be put over—you have got to demonstrate a living faith. What do you mean by that? A living faith is nothing more nor less than that which is represented by the man who went down to Jericho and fell among thieves. He was left by the wayide to die. The road comes a priestly man. Who behold the object he saw the man hold. The other side. Somebody excuses him and said he had done well in that respect. Then down the road comes a lawyer an interpreter of the law—and he passes by on the other side; but a third man comes upon the scene and he administers to the man in the gutter. He sees the necessity of doing it. the presence of things what his hands found to do. That is a living faith, that is vital faith, that is faith that grips a person and out of the person brings things that are calculated to do men and women good. I would have you then to demonstrate in the city of New York and demonstrate in these United States that the world may realise and know that the faith which actuates the people of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is nothing more nor less than a living faith. And the second thing I want you to do is to grip your truth—your realization. Your realization is nothing more nor less than the truth which you hear and the things that you are called upon to do. Truth has always had to fight its battles single-handed, and the man or the woman who attempts to put over the program for truth may rest assured that it will bring enemies uncoupled for the forefront. And when you are committed to the plan of fighting the battles of truth you may rest assured that you will have opposition. And what does opposition amount to? It simply means victory for we realize the fact that somebody is taking notice of the things you are trying to do. I live in the country and the best way I found out what apple trees were good in the orchard was to walk in that orchard and look at the stones and sticks. That was evidence in itself that everybody had been knocking apples off that tree. $500 REWARD IF I HAIR ROOT $500 REWARD IF I FAIL TO GROW HAIR HAIR ROOT, HAIR GROWER ```markdown ``` Address all mail and money orders to ROYAL CHEMICAL CO.

TS WANTED. Good Money A SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF RACE PASSION By JOHN HAUGHTON (Continued from last week) What formerly our historious authors and writers—who were more of a newspaper class—were instrumental in doing was to stimulate the whims of certain class of people, and played upon the sentiment of the colored people, and the passion of the Negro. But the Negro literature and newspapers have not all, however, been a complete failure. They have done a great deal in a moral and intellectual way, but very little in a common sense way, because most of the authors and writers were laboring under the mystic influence of a Utopian dramatic promise—the they have ever failed to face or to reveal certain facts to the people—which the so-called "intelligentia" may now question. That they have not been fair with the Negro in regard to this fact—a fact with which every Negro should familiarize himself—whose importance and seriousness should be fully realized at this time. It is just this.—The salvation of the Negro Race cannot be achieved here, and the successful solution of the problem of the Negro can only be worked out satisfactorily in Africa. You can never attain equality with the white race, and the Anglo-Saxon will not recognize you as a man until you have achieved what other men have achieved, that makes them great today and respected. So do not think that by changing your color through the immoral process of the aggregated medium believed to be conducive to some equality, you are going to arrive at the ultimate solution of the problem. Straightening your mild, and whitening your face, bleaching your skin, tends to degenerate you rather than to elevate you—that is not going to help either you or the Negro Race! Achievement is the only thing that will elevate you to that distinction and honor that the race will eventually command. At this point there will be less jabbery about "social equality." We have had a number of men who have been trying to control the thoughts of the Negro for a long time. They have duped the Negro to a great extent, they have lied to him and this war ought to have convinced you as to how far the Negro will ever be permitted to go, or get—further explanation of this is not necessary. These men have more passionately denounced the Anglo-Bacon rather than certain actions of their own element. When a man is wrong he is wrong—nobody should attempt to uphold him—implying to do this is to automati- make yourself in his category—the assertion—They are all alike. And we just simply rave we should strive for always is Tu Negro, as a rule for a long time continued to repeat his terrible mistakes until Washington and Tulsa took him. And yet he is not prone to realize where his true death, his ultimate future lay. This is through the diabolical advocacy of a certain class of men whose whole literary energy is absorbed in their Anglomania of a promised imaginary "social equality." Many of those who advocated this pernicious doctrine do not realize that it emanated from a debased mind, growing out of an irrelevant theory, and was only intended to create social chaos. That there is not such a thing as equality of races is a face indisputable, as demonstrated even at the world's greatest conference in 1912. The mankind. Here the big powers sit in the front row; second in importance, second row, third in importance, third row. Fifty years ago Japan was in the sixth row, today she is in the first —where will you sit at the fifth to call? Do you intend to be exactly who you are now, with the record of bloody race-riots behind you, still talking about Dubois' dream of a "social equality"? That's the question! Men who labor under sentiment do not get very far. The ignorance of a certain class of colored people makes them handicaps to themselves. They are more or less controlled by the dictation of passion and sentiment, and the forces of their subconscious mind, instead of their conscious control the Be a Hair Dresser, Scalp and Skin Specialist We teach you by Mail or in Prison Dickens Gives $45.00 COMPLETE COURSE FOR $10.00 Including $0.00 worth of the Famous Improved Hair, Scalp and Skin Treatment.

The subconscious element marks the animal in man. They continually ignore certain facts and reality—and they will not face the Truth—right here is where the greatest and the gravest difficulty lay. Certain elements who think they are wise—at the same time haven't a brain in their head—absolutely refused, or utterly failed to recognize intelligent leadership among their own people. The time has arrived that if this race of oure is to make anything at all of itself the great mass of the people should be taught the indispensable common sense of the recognition of intelligent leadership. We have too many speculative leaders who do not understand the first meaning of intelligent leadership. My belief is this—and I do not think I am very far out of the way—that, so soon as the Negro and colored people of the Negro race, who are merely sojourning in this happy phase, recognize certain hard facts, so soon they will find that the entire race will be regarded differently—there must be a permanent change of attitude on the part of the whites, we should not continue to look back with sadness upon the incident of a horrid past, but look forward, with the statesmanlike guidance of our illustrious and abi leader, Marcus Garvey, to a better day, and a more happy and glorious future for the Negro race, and with your heart co-operation the destiny of the race shall be secured. You must become conscious of the magnitude of this great movement and the importance of the cause it reprets. The greatest possible discovery a man can make is a discovery of himself—to become conscious of himself—and then to realize certain ethics of human society, recognize his position fully, and face his obligations like a man, whatever they may be, and carve his way to success. I realize how difficult it is to ask the Negro to suppress certain feeling, while daily demonstrations are such as to stimulate that feeling and make it more intense, but not so intense by failing the task, and the condition of things. One of the most important of these facts has been stated. That our future cannot be worked out here, but in Africa. We might as well accept this truth now before it is too late. I speak from a keen apprehension, I speak from a deeper feeling, and I speak, from an inspiration, through the instrumentality of a great Spirit animated by a great principle, in this momentous epoch, a realization that this government is determined to be what it is, what their fathers intended that it should be, and that white from constitution to execution, white from the lowest office to the highest—you cannot make it different, and to attempt to do that is only a matter of losing time, precious time, when you could be erecting one of your own in your mother, land, Africa, hence, the quicker we realise our position, the better it will be for all new concerned. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, of the great Universal movement of the Negro race, has been pointing out the way for a long time to the ultimate salvation of the race through this world-wide organization, namely, the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In this movement is our freedom and our only hope of a future state. Every demonstration, every incident, and every text of the Constitution has unquivocally illustrated so that the very schoolboy can grasp the meaning of the written ideas of the men who are selected to guide the deatiny of the nation, that that nation is determined to be black, and that this problem of furs must be, and cannot be solved in any other region except the region of Africa. As the months go by, and the years, it is becoming more and more potent and evident that, to survive we must make up our minds to carve out a place for ourselves in this great political sun. This is no time to question where a man was born, so long as he is a Negro, with intelligence and intellect, and with the strength to emancipate and free the Negro. The great Allies did not question for a moment where a man was born—even a German, and they knew it—so long as he was working for their cause and for their success in the last devastating monstrosity, that terrible catalysal war! They welcomed them and took them into their great armies of human destruction. I say to you: Trust not your future in any other hands but those which seek to establish an empire, a government for your race. Trust not your destiny in the care of the careless and thoughtless man of the Negro race, who are now engaged, being paid by foreign diplomatic agencies, in spreading dangerous propaganda about the U. M. L. A., to disguise you and you as, you have used that same class of men for three hundred years, until four years ago, when a great Negro leader came boldly upon the scene of leadership, who is now embracing to open the eyes of the millions to the truth and the duplicity of certain members of our race. Entrust your destiny in the hands of both of political forewisdom and a clear vision of the future. You must realize that whatever is lost during this period, when the great political machines, dare slowly reaffirming themselves to meet the needs of the future, that which you fail to gain to this ten-year naval holiday will be lost indefinitely when the machinery is as weak as in motion to operate to that final struggle, which will be the battle of destiny, a struggle for the survival of the utterly comparatively if you are not at all, you shall not survive, you and the whole face will be dismayed when that time comes such else as it happens. Irigoy and Dubois will have long passed into eternity! If we are not prepared, if we have not laid a foundation upon which they can work and we establish themselves, do you suppose the generation coming directly after us will think of us? Today they have called a great disarmament conference at Washington; it was inspired by the "Rising Tide of Color," written by the "One Stoddard. It is more in the behalf of the Anglo-Saxon, as the war was fought in the same sense, we have now definitely discovered, rather than in the interest of mankind—it is only for the benefit of pale-hmianna. At this very moment a war is raging in Europe, a revolution is devastating India, caused by the miracle there of the Anglo-Saxon; an upheaval has taken place in Egypt caused by the Anglo-Saxon; Ireland is bleeding from the Molon hand of that arch-friend of the British people—and the British tolerate it. Spain is raping Morocco, destroying, slaughtering and devastating, so that little African province may soon become that displaceable fragment that Armenia is today, whose people, out of a number of ten million have now been reduced to 800,000. Now, after they have plundered all the earth, conquered far and near, having in their brutal grup the continent of Africa, India at their mercy, China exploited, Egypt robbed, Africa prostrate and Ireland plundered, they have called to dasmarr so that with their scientific schemes terminate the darker races by causing them to fight among themselves, to make way for the surplus population of Europe, so that in course of time they will equal the number of the darker races, and with their superior organisation subjugate them. This despicable conference is called as a diplomatic shroud to vell certain ignorant people, so as to give Europe a chance to repair its moral forces and to prepare the minds of Europe for a certain propaganda—"White Supremacy and the "Rising Tide of Color." while they exploit those weaker nations of Europe to support the new machinery. The world is undergoing a reconstruction and a readjustment in order to stimulate again the original dynamic force of civilization. You should realize that in order to progress you must become dynamic also—this force, or power, is generating now at Liberty Hall. Go there and be electrified! The future of this race must not be left to chance. The man who fails to grasp the significance of this movement is lost. The man who would try to make you believe that the solution of this problem lay concluded here, or in intermarriage. if a monster—a monster that you should watch carefully. In the case of Ternor, who died in Haram! It has been pealed all down the ages, in the pages of history, records revealed of the races survived, and those which have been swept away, and there is not a troc can be found of them today. It will be proven whether the Negro is fit to live or die! "We are 400,000,000 oppressed boys who demand our liberty," he said in the beginning. "And friends, if our white brothers love us we love them; but if they hate us we hate them also. We deny the English the right to exploit us, we are indignant because the Belgians brutally mistreat our African brothers. As to the French—we have right now this evening, with us, a noble representative of that country, and we can tell him in all frankness that France has proved to us its liberalism: And let him inform the Senegalese soldiers that they have brothers in America sufficiently civilized to institute them in European policies. (Applause) Because, who in reality won the war? It was the Negroes' blood on the white man's battlefield. Messra. Clemenceau and Lloyd George would not have been able to end the war if they had not had us. (Hurrah. Yes, my friends, if the Negro had not been today the Kaiser would be in Buckingham Palace. (Grumblations, stamping of feet, cries of animals.) And you know what has been the white man's gratitude, how he has thanked the forge, how he has fought for his cause. We were not given a seat at the peace table. (Grumblations, disapproval). But they were punished by the heavens for their ingratitude. Messra. Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Wilson tauillur their around the gaming table. (Hilarieties). Mr. Wilson fell ill and had to hasten the United States. Mr. Lloyd George was called back to England by his good Irish friends, and Mr. Clemenceau, in order to work off his bad humor went to kill monkeys in Africa. (Hurricane of joyous clamors and acclaims.) Do you want me to tell you what we think about it, we poor blacks, we descendants of monkeys, we who still carry the tail of the quadruhuman our ancestor? We laugh at the inflated white man and tell him that since we the gorillas, we of sharp heads, were good enough to fight for him on the European battlefields and to aid our—educators—win their battles, they at least could have accorded us this liberty, in the name of which they killed each other. But we also have learned to kill, and I ask you my friends, when shall it be that we will fight for our own cause? Mr Frenchman, will you please tell your compatriots that they would do better in the future to consider us allies.* *One can read in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, December 1, the following information: The President's letter from the author of these lines were seated on the platform in Liberty Hall. They were in the Erie walls against it, so we are going for the Neyvelin the various were in the European states. England and India were in the European states. The United States were owned, which caused Mr. Deborah to easily go around, which caused Mr. Deborah to arise and offer The Neyvelin as such and in Sahara as they desired. After the tumult had subsided Marcus Harvey crossed to gesticulate. From the emphatic he became persuasive. After the vaiment attack he became calm. And, while he held his additions by the charm of his speech, I could not help but admire the skill of this great actor, worthy of the best classical training of the Canadian-Franciscan. When he finally ended his speech, you claiming it an impression increased that he asked only for Africa for the Neyvelin. Here was the desirable option: the Neyvelin? Why were present and their enthusiastic wives be종 the same way they stood on the chair? In the like is in a chalice subpart of alberta and completion. namestable Negroes came and shock my hands with the great cordiality and thanked me for having exposed the ocean in order to hear their claims. Garvey explained to me his desire to establish in Ethiopia his future empire, where the civilized Negroes from the five continents could come and build the Elangue of the black world. I promised all these Negroes that I would make the aspirations known to my white and other men, thanked the prophet for having admitted us that evening with his followers. My advice, therefore, is to let America and the West Indies, South and Central America be as they are, and seek Africa and there build up a mighty Republic, with battleships, dreadnoughts, cruisers and airplanes, and an army of $5,000,000 men. (Applause). And when you are strong enough to protect yourself, the world will respect you. (Applause). You will say: "That man is not for disarmment." Yes. I am for disarmment, but the other fellow must disarm first. That is all about it. I believe that there should be disarmment, but I say—whatever the other fellow has, get it and get it quick. (Loud Applause). If he dismantles his ships; if he destroys his cruisers and his dreadnoughts and his battleships, then you will have no need for battleships, but if he keeps them you better get one bigger than his Negroes, remember that you are men. You are not monkeys, not apes. You came into this world at the same time the other fellow did. God Almighty when He sent us here did not give us any bow and arrow, any gun and sword and powder. What is the other follow doing with them, anyhow? (Laughter). Negro, can't you get some sense? If this man was born at the same time as you—he did not come with any gun and powder, but he gets a gun and powder—don't you see he is up to some trouble? Surely he can't be so foolish as to kill himself. He is out to kill somebody. Therefore, get what the other fellow has. (Applause). PRES. GEN. SAYS NEW YEAR MEANS WORK, WORK (Continued from page 10) of His presence; hold on even when there is a possibility of filling away. And these sharp bermers will be observed within the ranks as well as those more forward, scalling upon you to grip with firmness this incentive for the gripping, for at the end is a crown. One story will illustrate my meaning. It is told that there was once an old man who lived in Kentucky, add this old man, as it were, was a keeper of a fine racehorse. The old racehorse was discarded, and the master said to the man: "You may have this horse." The old man book the horse, and groomed it and kept it, for he knew what to do for it. Finally, when the colored people in the vicinity hold their races during the county fair, the old man decided that he would enter his old black nag. He took into his confidence a little boy. He said to this boy: "Why, Ephraim, I want you to lead the old black nag." Now, when the first lap of the race is being run, Ephraim, don't you urge the old nag; don't urge him until the second lap, and then when the third lap is reached, I want you to give her the reins, and then when the home stretch is being made, Ephraim, I want you to do your best and force her to the limit. So the old nag of the race came, the old nag stood in the mud—trank. Ephraim was mounted on the old black nag. The people stood back and laughed and jeered, to see the old nag entered for the race. Nobody thought that the old black nag would even have any chance of winning in the race. But what was the result? The horse began. I hear the flattering of the horses hoofs as they speed over the mud race-track. The horse goes in a mad gallop. The first lap of the race is past, and the old black nag is not even to be counted. The six other horses are far ahead of her. Now they pass the half-mile stretch. Ephraim the third-quarter stretch is now being run. I see the old black nag, as she gathers up some of her old-time vim and speed, urged on by the spurings of her little rider. The old man stands by, and still Ephraim urges the black nag on, and on, until it comes to: scabdie place. Now they are on the huge stretch. The old stance, looking on, in the greatest excitement, calling: sit first to little Ephraim. And then to his old black nag. He waves his arms and shouts to rider and horse. Finally, Ephraim gives the old mare the reins, and again her forward. The old man becomes almost transferred with excitement as he sees the old nag gradually gaining and getting ahead. Those who at first laughed and joked at the old nag, now become alarmed; all eyes are turned toward him. Then as the horses near the winning post, the old man cried out: "Don't let them leaf you, Ephraim; don't let them leaf you, Ephraim!" (Laugher!). Ephraim fully understands the old man. Ephraim gives the old nag another spur with his whip and boot; she has the reins; he leans way over her head; the nag is now running in real "dorm" as in her younger victories; she seems to realize her former victories, and when, amidst breathless silence, the rares near the winning-post, the old nag, a full length ahead, passes them all, when the gong sounds, giving to her the victory. A mighty shout goes up, little Ephraim is carried around the rachetrack by his new admirer, while the old nag is patted and petted by his master and owner, the old man, while hundreds stand around and congratulate him on the victory of his old black nag. I thought when this story was told, of how a discarded group among the nations of men—the black race of people—had been thrown aside on the heap pile, discarded as being good for nothing; and then I thought of the man into whose hands this discarded people had been entrusted. I thought of the man coming from Jamaica, awarthing in complexion, who said to this discarded mass of people: "I will stand by the reckract of life and I will give you an encouraging word that the Negro race may finally redeem Africa, for that is our destiny." When I heard that the Negroes were new in birth, now in Integrity—Negroes who had resolved to cling on with firmness to the things that I have enumerated; Negroes who realised the sufficiency of the leadership of this man; who realised the significance of the sufficiency in the person of this man, determined that they would put over and win this race. We are not on the last lap of our race. We are just on the three-quarter run, and watch us if you will. The word is passed the race will be won under the matchless leadership of Marcus Garvey and the world will know for a certainty that we have been in the race of menopause and that the Negro is a real portion, a determining factor in the affairs of the entire human family that must be counted in the end. Have faith in God; have faith always. (Applause.) "SNUFELE ALONG" BRINGS CHEER TO HARLEM KIDDIES The "shuffle Along" company played the role of Gid Santa on both Christmas Day and the day following, by presenting the poor children of Harlem with a real Turkey dinner. In order that as large a number as possible might be reached they appealed to the principals of the neighborhood schools to announce that they would feed all that came. A thousand little hearts were made glad by the bountiful spread, and the crowd was filled with food furnished by the members of the art and other artists from the various theatres, whose sole aim was to make the day a red letter one in the hearts of the little ones who they served. The ladies of the company acting as waitresses made the little tot feel as if they were in their own homes. The U. N. L. A.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 estar preparados para los grandes cambios que el nuevo ano de 1922 nos tenga reservado. Los elementos de nuestra raza en todas partes deben ser ilustrados en al principio fundamental de que solamente existe un destino y dehemos, unidos en un polo ideal, trabajar hacia el. Con la experiencia que hemos adelante, cuatro cientos millones de corazones palpitando a un tiempo al impulso de un Africa libre. y una raza redenta. No podemos por más tiempo vivir sin expresar de uno u otro modo, simpatia por nuestro semejante. El sufrimiento general que prevalece entre nuestro elemento, tiene que ser aliviado mejor modo. Los elementos acomodados de nuestra raza deben realizar que solamente a nosotros corresponde e ayudar a aquellos mas informados; para que vivan la vida que el gran ser nos ha dado y a la cual todos tenemos derecho. esta, que movió millones durante cuatro años, in in consequrio, desar mildes conflictos ain la Constitucion. El la rebelda y muerte de sielevó a cabo, fuera d adicional. El heirero fue de todas los que, en ficito, tivieron fila la ideal verdaderamenta. Como lo谆ió el r himmo guerrero que c pus los negros libres. John Brown marchaba ellos." En cuanto a los hechos de la pequeña insurre majestosa historia o que traza de olvidar Estados Unidos, donde cordare los grandes el respecto mercede de Hemos de recordar que nuestro programa es tanto industrial como político, en cuanto a Africa y a la raza concierne. Tenemos que construir grandes industrias para rendir a nuestro elemento un culto independiente, haciendo de eso modo un medio de vida más adecuado y la posibilidad de un porvenir més lisonjero. Recordemos, he de repetir, que tenemos que olvidar las diferencias, del pasado y reconcentrar nuestra imaginación para fortificar nuestro espíritu, de modo que todos y cada uno de los miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, podamos afrontar las dificultades ó disfrutar de los beneficios que el futuro nos tenga reservado en el Nuevo Año. EL PRESIDENTE HARDING NOMBRA EL NUEVO PRESIDENTE DE LA CORTE SUPREMA DE PUERTO RICO EL PRESIDENTE HARDING NOMBRA EL NUEVO PRESIDENTE DE LA CORTE SUPREMA DE PUERTO RICO Grandes Esperanzas Para el Nuevo Año—En La Unión está la Fuerza Conciudadanos de Nuestra Raza, Salud: Estamos para entrar en el inicio del Nuevo Año. Este año presente ya toca a su término; va pasando y pronto se perderá en el confin interminable del tiempo. Llegan el 1922 con todo un bagaje de promesas, de trabajo y de perseverante esperanza. Esta es la hora de que hagamos nuevas resoluciones, debemos hacer nuestro exámen de conclencia y ordenar nuestra línea de conducta para el nuevo curso de nuestra vida ordinaria. Hemos pasado por encima de las tormentas del año viejo para entra valientemente a saludar al reclenacido 1922. El alo pasado sostuvimos cruentas luchas y en la helena vencimos en toda la linea porque sidnuda estuvimos todos unidos en mantener el puesto que tomamos el alo pasado en su iniciación y no permitimos que nuestros colores emblemáticos. "El Rojo Negro y Verde" se mancharan con el polvo malsano del descr,dito. Los hombres, las organizaciones, y toda clase de movimiento empeñaron una tremenda lucha contra nosotros en 1921. En el plano que sostenemos nos lanzaron dardos en todas direcciones; pero como devotos de Israel, mantuvimos firmes y afrontamos nuestros opositores con tesonera valentia y con verdadera fé en la causa que defendemos. Esa misma fé nos ha unificado y hoy entramos en un nuevo alo con el presentimiento de que Jehova no nos abandonará y nos guijaró por la misma senda recta que nos guijó en el alo que expira. El Presidente Hardung ha enviado al Senado el nombramiento del Sr. Toro Cuebas, de Puerto Rico, como presidente de la corte suprema, susituyendo al juez Hernandez quien ha enviado su renuncia hace pocas dias. Nuestra organización ha ido creciendo, conoirtiéndose en un poder, y hoy podemos mirar retrospectivamente y ver nuestros adelantos y progresos por la unificación de una raza, que estaba diseminada por el mundo, en una verandera Unidad con un solo pensamiento y un solo ideal. La Libertad Universal. El Sr. Toro Cuebas es el mas antiguo de los jueces asociados de dicha corte, siendo el mas joven entre ellos. Apesar de haber aumentado el número de miembros duranta el pasado año, es necesario seguir nuestro trabajo de organización para cumplir con la obra encomendadosenos, de antemano. Tenemos aún centenares de millones que no han aportado su óbolo a nuestro gran movimiento; somos nosotros los encargados de avivar este trabajo, porque hemos obtenido la visión propia para la prédica y traer a nuestro redil todas las avejas desnificadas. LEYENDA DE NOCHE BUENA (De La Prensa.) Efrain, era un pastorcilo de la Judea. Era un muchacho muy pobre y humilde pero estaba resignado con su condición, porque el Señor le habla dotado de un corazon generoso y limpio. Cuidaba de los relafios con otros pastores y cuando llegaban las noches del invierno, dormia con/ellos en torno de las hoguetas, contemplando los estrellas fulgurantes en las noches difanas. Si en este nuevo año nosotros trabajamos con empeno un poco más enérgico que lo que hicimos en el pasado, podemos amurir con toda confidencia que dentro del tapso de tiempo de otro año nuestra organización habrá que tener mucho mejor resultado que el obtenido hasta el presente. y los pastores hablan de los poderosos de la tierra a suspiraban en contiida. Pero Erfal anqun les ola hablar de los legados de Roma con sus mantos de purpur, y de la deslumbraborda corte del Tetracer, y de los capitanes romanos con brillantes armaduras, y los ricos mercaderes de Jerusalem con sedas y joya, en no sentia ni tristeza ni enviida y se dormia en la moche apacible y clara, serenemente. Pero ya habia llegado el invierno, cuando las aquas del Jordan corrian hendizadas y rumorosas y el torrente Cedron bajaba con espumas brillantes. Las noches eran muy frias y Efraín dormía cerca del fuego y envolvin en su piezas de carmero. Una de estas noches, los pastores se despertaron. Una claridad más pura que de la luna llena ilabena el azul y vieron las alas blancas de los angeles del Senor, y oyeron las voces angelicas que la declan que siguiaran la estrella hacia Belén, porque habia nacido aquella noche un Nifo que era el Hijo de Dios y el Mejias que esperaban los israelitas hacia tanto tiempo. Los pastores se prosternaron ante la voz de los angeles, y Efraín fu el primer que saltó en pie, y tome el mierno recurrental que bala dulcemente entre las ovas y se eche o hombro y caminó siguiendo el rumo marcado por una immense estrella fulgurante. Efrain vió que la estrella quedaba inmóvil en un punto sobre la tecmühde de paja de un estable, y se sintió dominado de una emoción mayor que si estuviese en presencia del Tetracera de Jerusalem o del Emperador de Roma. Eh las puntas de los pies entro temeroso y vió que撕 los pajas la paja del pelledero dormía un hermoso niño sobre el cual una juvenita se inclinaba reverente y arobada con las manos, como frios blancos, cruzadas sofre el seno. Entonces Efrain déjó a los pies del pelledero su navidad recelial y se estrodiló ante Jesús, nilo. Y Jesús ibó los pies y lo nilo, y sí susjos en brillantas con estrellas y a su comrilla dulce y no como la de un nilo, que anaba de nacier, porque El Señor Díos no se dieron de los humbilios. Désirate Efrain entrar en las pasturas que quen hommabuja baja y limpias de la corona también, por el emil Jesús la salida serriamente. con su suerte, con su pobreza con su frito, pero al fin reconcian al Meslas y podian lo lo tanto acerce a el. Cuando Efrain volvo al lado de su hoguera, tenia su corazón henchido de felicidad y de esperanza y desde aquella noche, siempre que los pastores en las veladas, se entretienlan hablando de las riquezas de los principes y suspiraban dejando que naciera en su corazón la envidia y el descontento, el solamente sonreía y miraba al cielo de un azul profundo y diáfano, salpicado del brillar de las estrellas y pensaba que el es más rico que los poderosos de la tierra, que el Emperador de Roma y que el Tetracarde de Jerusalem, por que el el fue el primer que vivo a Jesús y el primero que recibio la sonrisa de su boca divina y el mirar de sus ojos llenos de luz, y sabia que algún dia recibiría lo que valía más que las purpuras imperiales y que las diademas de los poderosos, que el premio de recido por Jesús a los tienen un corazón puro y limpio y aceptan resigmadamente el frio, y la pobreza y la vida humilde, a los que crecen bajo la mirada del Señor, como los "lirios de los campos que ni Salomón en toda gloria, jamás se vió vestido como umo de ellos." Rindámos tributo a la memoria de un héroe, de un luchador, de un hermano nuestro John Brown, (1859-1921) Recordar a John Brown. es recordar el principio de libertad de la raza negra; es evocar una nueva epoca para nuestra raza. Para hara de John Brown, seria preciso resucitar el genio autor de el Illiana, por eso yo en este mal alineado trabajo mo limitarte a transcribir lo que la historia dice del abnegado colono de Virginia. Habla la historia "Los negros esclavos estaban demasiado opinidos para que les fuera posible suscribir por si mismos una guerra civil; los proprietarios disponan de una fuerza material hartamente considerable y la policía de las plantaciones se ha de de manera tan rigurosa que la menor tentativa hubiera sido inmediatamente descubrierta y reprimida. Es a algunos blancos y especialmente a John Brown, a quienes corresponde el honor de representar la nación en lo que tenia de más noble y generoso. Aquel colón virginiano de origen septentrional; concibio el proyecto de reunir a su lado en el ejercicio de negro fugitives y constitutir con ellos una república el montes Alleghany, transformadas en ciudadela. Dio mismo, decía el hombre creado aquellas montes para hacer de ellas el lugar de defensa. de los esclavos rebeles. Puritano conveniente, pero más humble de acel que de oración, se creía escogido, para empujar la espada del Señor en una guerra de esclavos. De los esclavos. Anquilla guerrilla. De los bobos, pinnatimosa doble, por el herrolo por parte de los agresores y muerto no muble por su objeto, que quisella que se produjo después, en la llamada esta, que movió millones de humores durante cuatro años, intentó, aunque sin conseñido, desarrollas sus formidables conflictos sin tocar el texto de la Constitución. El incidente de la rebelda y muerte de John Brown la llevó a cabo, fuera de toda acción oficial. El héroe fue el inspirado de todas los que, en el gran conflicto, tuvieron fija la vista en un ideal verdaderamente humano. Como lo repitió el ritomello del himno guerrero que cantaron después los negros libres. "El alma de John Brown marchaba delante de ellos." En cuanto a los hechos materiales de la pequeña insurrección local, la majestuosa historia oficial parece que trata de olvidarios, y en estos Estados Unidos, donde suelen recordarse los grandes hombres con el respeto mercedo de todo lo que les pertenecen, nq se halla piedra ni inscripcion que recuerde en términos laudatorios la memoria de John Brown El 16 de Octubre de 1859, John Brown, con sus mismas hijos y veintiendas amigos, se apoderó de un almacen de armas situado en la ciudad de Harper's Perry. Aquí pintó estratégico, en la confianza del Potomac y del Sheandag, establa muy bien escogido, y sí los negros de las inmediaciones heriberan acudido a su socorro, la inurrección se hubera propagado de campaña en campaña, y hubierase podido resistir mucho más tiempo; pero no se produjo el levantamiento esperado, y de todas partes acudieron las militas virginianas a sitular al pequeño grupo insurgente La pequeña partida, más que diezmillas, fue pronto capturada, y John Brown, cubierto de heridas, fue ahorcado el 2 de Diciembre en un pueblecillo unmedrato a Harper's Ferry. Su ultimo acto, antes de ceñir su cuello la cuerdas de la hora, fue besar la frente de un niño negro que se hallaba entre los curiosos, acto simbólico y promesa de un porvenir no realizado aún entre las razas de la Republica Americana. Sirva este humildo trabajo de ejemplaridad a todos aquellos que ancian por una humanidad más justicia. Sirva la membra de John Brown, de stimulo a todos aquellos que suenan con la emancipación de la Raza Nega. 1Oh insigne colono, Espartaco de las américas, tu cuerpo fue sacrificado por los sostenedores de la esclavitud, pero tu alma vive en el corazón de las hombres, y tu sacrificio, irá clavado en le frente de cada tirano como un INRI! LIBERTO Comentando la importancia de nuestra Sección en Español Senior Editor del "Negro World" Por espacio de algun tiempo los miembros de la U. N I A en los países de habla española hemos deseado tener la oportunidad de leer en el "Negro World" trabajos editados en español, los cuelos pueden ser leidos por los nativos en su propia y eleucuenta lengua. Recientemente не noted que toda una página de ese período ha sido dedicada exclusivamente a artículos en español, lo cual considero como, una de las ideas más constructivas hechas por el "Negro World." Debo manifestar, querido redactor, que esa página tiene un valor muy intrinsic, pues dicho trabajo debe ser alentado con gran valor por la ayuda que ello presta a todas las divisions de nuestra organización en los países hispano-americano Espero que muy pronto, cuando las condiciones se mas ventajasas, tener el placer de contemplar en el Liberty Hall de New York una audiencia compuesta de membros que no entidad ingles, a quenes se les predigue y a arengue en su idioma nativo. El campo aqui es durpo para el cultivo y necesita mucho abong; mi creencia más firme es, que seremos grandemente beneficios con la publicación de artículos que en espafiol bien Ud. editando semanalmente en el "NEGRO World". Puerto Rico como cualquiera otro país de habla española dara una buena cosecha, siempre y cuando la semilla se seembre en terreno fertil. Esperando que su buena labor continue progresando bajo los mejores auspicios, doy A.ud. las gracias por su edición. y quedo de Ud. Suyo. (Firmado) JAMES G. HORSFORD Puerto Rico, de Noviembre de 1921. Una felicitación a nuestra raza Hahana, Deciembro 24 de 1921. Señor M. A. Figueroa. Redactor del "Negro World." 56 West 135th Street, New York, U. S. A. Estimado señor: Después de daludarle muy afectuosamente, deséle muchas felicidades en las presentes Pascus y im el proximo Alfo Nuevo. Me es al臂amento satisfactivo hader lasura Ud. por medirión de cenas lineas milla más cordal saludo y alma, felicidad al Alfo Macute Garvey y denas hermanas en rasa. Afectuosamente, (Firmano). Huilf, Santo Domingo y Los Fátada Udridge "El informe preliminar de la Comisión Investigadora semanal que fue a Santo Domingo y a Hali para investigar las condiciones allí existentes, es una verdadera desgrafa para los Estados Unidos" manifestase en el documento publicado hoy por el comité ejecutivo de la Hali-Santo Domingo Independence Society de New York city. Emitido inmediatamente después de celebrar una conferencia con el Secretario Hughes, contindia dieliciendo e informe, justifica y considera como buena política norteamericana el derrocamiento de los países pequeques y débiles por medio de la fuerza armada. Mantiene y defiende la política seguida en Haltí de utilizar la violencia para imponer a un pueblo libre un tratado que nunca hubiera aceptado de su libre y espontánea voluntad. Como se sabe, dicho tratado has sido rechádo repetitamente por la república haitiana, la segunda en antigüedad en el hemisferio occidental. "Asi se continuará la farra de tener un president, que es una figura decorativa, sostenido por el apoyo de las bayonetas norteamericanas, que no hace otra cosa que ordenar que se cumpla la voluntad de las autoridades militares de los Estados Unidos. "La comisión senatorial ha causado un dafo incomparable al buen nombre de este pais, especialmente en Hispano América, hasta donde se ha hecho ligar tantas veces las protestas de buena fe y benevolencia. "El informe de referencia acepta de una manera franca y llana la teoría de imperialismo en su por forma, y viene a justificar, desde luego, in política seguida por el japón en la Manchuria y en la Siberia oriental. Viene a ser una espece de mordaza que impedira a los Estados Unidos protestar en el futuro contra el imperialismo de otras naciones. Cuando auña esta vivo el recuerdo de la gran guerrena en la que se peleo por defender los derechos de las pequeñas nacionalidades; cuadro el gobernro brutto acaba al fin de reconecer virtualmente la independencia de Irlanda, los Estados Unidos se ponen al lado del mundo reacionario, al lado del militarismo y en contra del derecho. "No es posible la existencia de relaciones decorosas entre Haiti y los Estados Unidos mientras este pais mantenga por la fuerza los derechos de que carece. Los Estados Unidos deberían retirar de Haiti las fuerzas de infantería de marina que ali mantienen y devolverle en seguida su completa independencia." Segun el informe de la comisión especial del senado que acaba de hacer una investigación de las condiciones existentes en Santo Domingo y Hattí "durante la administración de los marines la república dominicana ha disfrutado de paz y orden sin precedente en la historia de aquel país " El senador McCormick, republicano por el Estado de Ilioune, que presidio el citado comité, declaró aver que las cuadades de la república se encuentran en completo estado de impreza, estan dotadas de moderno sistema santario y existen en el país muelles, escuelas y otras muchas obras más llevadas a cabo por los "marines". En dicho informe se dice que los leaders politicos de la república dominicana la han opuesto a que se retiren las fuerzas americanas y que los habitantes del país, aconsejados por aquellos leaders no han querido tomar medida alguna para llevar a cabo las elecciones, si ello ha de traer como consecuencia la evacución de las fuerzas americanas y la terminación del gobierno militar que actualmente existe En el informe final se recomendari por el comité que las fuerzas de infantería de marina sean retenidas en Santo Domingo así como en Haiti, al menos por ahora. Tambien se sugiere la creación de una tarifa que contenga condiciones análogas a las concedidas a Cuba, lo que contribuiría grandemente al desarrollo de la prosperidad de Santo Domingo asi como a mantener las tradicionales buenas relaciones que siempre han existido entre los Estados Unidos y dicha republica. Se subraya en el informe las ventajas que ha traído consigo la construcción de carreteras bajo la dirección de los "marines" como una demostración de lo que ha mejorada Santo Domingo, económicamente, durante la ocupación americana, la que ha ayudado de una manera extraordinaria a establecer garantias y orden, terminando radicalmente con las revoluciones. THE EAST-END NEWPORT NEWS HAS·U. N: I. A. DIVISION NO. 102 Newport News, Va. Dec. 11, 1911.—Least Sunday's meeting was a real get-together one. We spoke openly, frankly and face to face to each other about the shortcomings, nibbles of others, but about our own, infirmities of Division No. 262. Suddenly confessions and statements do much to promote self-analysis, is it true? Which is one of the chief requisites that the human family must of course happen to be. It is that adds to the advancement for any- thing worthy. This meeting was attended by quite a few, and was presided over by First Vice-President N. Caitlin Draw. We had the usual form of opening, after which we started the program. The speaker of the evening, Mr. J. T. Howe, our secretary, was unable to fill his attention. However, the local talent rallied to the support and presented a program both pleasing and entertaining. Brother Crowder started the ball rolling. He started by calling our attention to the fact that he thought it expedient that our wives should keep while insurance collectors out of our homes; but if by chance they do have them, then let them understand that the door-sill is their "Mason-Dec Line" and means for them to stay out. Madam Ridgell, the lady president of Division No. 103, came on the scene with a paper "stuffed" with Faircloughism. Mrs Ridgell's paper was appreciated in every way possible. Mr Chua. Terrell, our second vice-president, gave us some encouraging remarks, after which "Dr. Davis, one of our leading druggists here, gave some pointed remarks upon the feasibility of Garvieship. The feature of the evening and the occasion of the hour was the short address by our beloved Rev. Tanswell. The reverend, *prior criticizing us for our apparel* *of interest, turned his attention to Africa. He pictured to us the natural, mineral and agricultural advantages offered there; also asked to us to awaken out of our cultural and do pioneer work for Africa and to this continent that the All Wise Providence gave to the black man. With an uncompromising faith and determination, this venerable minister beastified himself every way possible to show the young people the absolutes necessity of understanding the signs of the times. Then our new active recruit, Mrs. S. Bartlett, spoke of her purpose to stage a juvenile entertainment for the benefit of this division. There were other new ladies who stated that they had formed a choir to line for duty in the near future. This speeches-making was brought to close by inspirational remarks by the president, Rev. Subert, and loyal fellow worker, Mr. Jordan. This meeting was filled all the way through with good and wholesome information. Mr. A. D. Cook took up the collection, after which we dismissed that as soon as conditions changed that will have to move to larger quarters.
