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. ee PRESIDENT GENERAL Ik YORLD CONDINTOK HV) alae y ANU \ : MEANS WORK, WORK, HARD WORK BY NEGROES EVERYWHERE IF THE SALVATION.

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. 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.

It was an index of the bulldog character of the Irish and it caused the English to reflect that people of such virility are not to be trifled with. Similarly Gabriele D'Annunzio, the Italian poet, attracted the attention of the world by his historic defense of Fiume. Ghandi, the Indian leader, is the man who is occupying the stage at the moment. That is, if we cull our information from the outgivings of he Associated Press. But there is a martyr, a black martyr, who the authorities at Capetown saw fit to incarcerate as a "dangerous rebel." Yes, and although he goes by the name of Enoch, Prophet Enoch, don't fool yourself, as does the Times-Picayune of New Orleans, La., into thinking that he is one of those white-collared ecclesiasts who go crawling into Dixie, but a bare-breasted, two-fisted personification of the awakened spirit of the Negro. 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. Lloyd George, secure in his castle at Downing Street, wired his agents that this must not be. No, indeed, it is alarming, to say the least, and the next thing one heard was of the brutal arrest of Enoch and 100 of his disciples. They were given definite prison terms, but the spirit of the man lives on! With all his cunning Lloyd George seems to have overlooked the fact that to spread a movement, persecute it!

BRUCE GRIT ON the editorial page of the New York American for Sunday, December 25, we find these words: "The Sphinx Is as Old as the Days When Ethiopians, Ancestors of the Colored Man, Your Neighbor, Ruled in Egypt. . . . The most famous of all the Sphinxes, with thick Ethiopian lips and flattened Ethiopian nose, is the great Sphinx of Ghiza, carved from a single rock, one hundred and eighty-nine feet in length." We are glad to note these assertions in such a widely circulated newspaper as the New York American. We stated the same facts in our lectures fourteen years ago and in "The African Abroad," published in 1913. The Negro can know as established facts that the dominant races today received their inspiration from Greece, who received her inspiration from India and from Egypt, a land once ruled by black men. 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. Hancock, *Slavery and Freedom*, 1854. The author, while on the issue of slavery, was not a slaveholder. --- --- Irish patriot, left a blot on the hat is bound to haunt Lloyd George of the man, as seen in his noble greatest force the Irish ever marshaled evidence.

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.

No details are given as to the manner in which the muntar took place. 1M. de Louse was a member af ons of the best known families in Paria.

It must be realized that we can achteve Dut very little separately and dtstine- tively, but through unity of effort and of action much can be done. |The parent body desires that all the Aivisions of the organisation work in strict conformity with the constitution and by-lawa There hae been & great eal of trouble in a tow of the scattered @iviaions of the organisation, where, through the disloyalty of officers here and there, they have tried to expjolt tho anecance and ignorance of thr bee plo in thelr community for their own fselfiah purposes, losing sight of the higher aims and objects to be achieved 1m the interest of all concerned. It ts hoped that members everywhere will pay special attention to the acts @f tho local officers, as not to allow anything irregular to tfapapire without taking immediate constitutional action. It 18 only when each and every division of tho Universal Negro Improvement Association works n harmony with the fettled pollay and principles of the movement can we achieve the grander aims in view. See to tt that none of your local of- Seora exploit the organisation for his own purposes, but sce that everything {a done with an eye to the bringing to- wether of tho scattered millions, with ‘© bigger progam of our industrial commercial, and political liberation. It 1 impossible at this time of eco- snomie stress for any division to live and exist by Itself: {t must have the world co-operation af the other divi- sions through the parent body, and any offort that 1s made among teul officer or individuals to nreach distoyalty tw the parent body ahcuté be immediately reported to headquarters, so that proper stepa may be taken to protect the in- teresta of the membership concerned.

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.

We knew each other from boyhood and we watched him study hard, develop into a good dentist, and become active in the Masons, the Elks and Foresters and in politics. He was recommended for a responsible position when he suddenly succumbed to a stroke of apoplexy. Dr. Ross was a hard and faithful worker, took life seriously and spent little time in relaxation and recreation. Perhaps if he had lived less stronely and relaxed more frequently he would not have broken so early. This is one of the tragedies of life that the Grim Reaper cuts off a man just as he begins to come into his own. W. H. F. DID PAIN DISTURB YOUR SLEEP?

All the Negroes in America, Canada, the West Indies, South and Central America, are descendants of the native African people who settled in the western World to work as slaves, during which period of time we came in contact with the white man's civilization. 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. Today the world is undergoing a change. The political boundaries of humanity are changing. The world is becoming more diverse. Home is becoming more secure as it provides security for the people. Hence, the cry of Ireland for home is becoming more urgent.

Such song comes only from the peaceful mind Of freemen, unmolested, unconfined. Beneath a vernal moon they masquerade: In child-like frolic, jubilant arrayed, Perpetual joy!

And penetrates my love elated frame: While I the place a paradise proclaim! No other fit comparison I know.

And thus enchained by Nature's endless bound: Enthralling sweetness pents me all around! And thus in sweetness pont I'm full, serene! My air is laid where goddesses convene. So here I lay me down in sweet repose: Full satisfied: so now my eyes I close. I pose, rocline, and sleep, and now I dream! And in its sweet confusion, trail the theme. And now a magic stillness charms the night. Upon whose wings, my soul ascends the height. Ascend the height, and view the mystic main. White in the spell I ride the pilgrims train!

This will be a splendid opportunity for college and high school graduates of the organization to secure useful and honorable positions of service to the There's nothing else my soul can more state!

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!

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. I remain yours for success, THORCH BREVENIR, 268 Tait Street St. Burlington, N. J. SPIRITUALISM The Universal Spiritualistic Church are worship 1000 members.

SUBJECTS PRES. GEN. SAYS NEW YEAR MEANS WORK, WORK (Continued from page 2) out impulse. 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.

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.
