The Negro World

U. N. I. A. LAST TO THROW STONES OF VENOM AND ABUSE FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: As a Negro interested in the welfare of my race, and as the elected leader of a movement that seeks the emancipation of the Negro everywhere, it becomes my duty to give out to you, from time to time, what little helpful information I may have, as well as to advise you in the best way possible, so as to enable one and all of the four hundred millions of us to travel in the right and safe direction by which we shall see our temporal as well as spiritual salvation The Conflict of Cliques have the better or quite a while a great deal of commotion in Negro circles a conflict of individuals and organizations, each making desperate efforts to hold up to ridicule and to destroy the other individual or organization. There are times when we should know our friends, and there are times when we should save ourselves from our friends. We are passing now through such a time. Those of you who have followed within the last four years the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will readily admit that it is the only organization within recent times that has come out with a clean-cut program engineered in the higher and better interests of the race. We had many organizations before the Universal Negro Improvement Association came upon the scene, but all of them had programs confined within limits so narrow as to have rendered it impossible for them to accomplish anything worth while for the race as a whole. Some of these organizations have been in existence for as long a period as twenty, fifteen, ten and seven years. Nevertheless, these organizations in their own way contributed to the advancement of the Negro through his being able to lift himself from the one condition into the other, until the time became opportune to launch the Universal Negro Improvement Association with An Enlarged Horizon the recent years of the existence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the Negro horizon has become enlarged. He now sees things from a wider range than heretofore, and he is better able now to grasp not only the existential situation but to take a lively interest in international matters. The Negro will need to operate through parochial, insular and national movements is not taking highly interest in the international cause of the emancipation of the entire race, feeling assured that no one section of the Negro race can emancipate itself through the support and sympathy and co-operation of all. Now that we have this bigger program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association a program that has arrested the attention not only of our own people, but of the civilized world, we find a great deal of jealousy and rivalry and bited prying up among our group. We have individuals who because they had not the vision and were not able to launch the movement of themselves and get credit for it are determined to steal the program of the organization, and at the same time to use every force possible to destroy its originality, thereby playing to the galleries of the entire race for crecit they are entitled to. Then, also we have other organizations, some really worthy of being called organizations, because of numbers and support, whilst others are only organizations on mere paper, and have no membership, but by their own paper publication they are lined up to oppose the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because of its success and far reaching influence. The Interest of the Masses The fighting individuals and organizations seem to forget that a great principle is involved, that it is not a question of the individuals or the organizations that must fail or succeed, but a question of the success of the people through organization, and that when the masses of the people are with any one organization, and you try to damage that organization or the individual who leads that organization, knowing you are not only damaging the organization or the individual, but you are damaging the interest of the masses of the people, and that no argument you can bring can justify your action of fighting the organization or the individual in the name or under the guise that you are a friend of the people, or that you are a leader of the people, for if you are a friend of the people, or a leader of the people, you would first consider how much the people would have to lose by interfering with the success of that individual or organization before you attempt to carry out your designs. Imperiling the Rights of Black Men the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association realizes that to strike at any movement that has within its fold any large or appreciable number of Negroes with their moneys contributed or invested is not to do the movement or itself any harm, but to imperil the investment or the interest of that many number of Negroes who are members of that organization. It is because of this consideration that the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leader would never at any time originate an attack against any Negro movement or individual or institution, because it has been fully realized that the harm will not be done so much to the individual, the organization or the institution in question as to the people, hence the Universal Negro Improvement Association has never instituted any campaign against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, an organization that has in its membership thousands of Negroes; it has never attacked the National Equal Rights League or any such boha-fide institutions working in the interest of Negroes, but when it mentioned the name of the N. A. A. C. P. it was in defense of attacks made by agents of that organization on the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line and its auxiliary corporations; thereby jeopardizing the interest of all the people interested in these movements. Natu- Busy with the Migh Problem of Negro Freedom,Leader of U: N. I. Has No Time to Plot and Plan the Downfa f Other Negro Organizations WELL-MEANING LEADERS OF RACE THINK FIRST OF THE INTEREST OF THE MASSES—PROFESSIONAL AGITATORS VEHEMENTLY DENOUNCED Selfish Spies Posing as Friends of Africa Enter Ranks of U. N. I. A. Only to Betray It to Its Enemies OPEN-HEARTED WELCOME EXTENDED TO CRITICS AND PATRIOTS ALIKE—SERVICE AND UNSELPISHNESS KEYNOTE OF U. N. I. A. rally, it is human and it is business-like for any individual or corporation to protect its interests against attack from whatsoever source it comes; and as in the case of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, so in the case of all other Negro movements. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leadership have never at any time initiated any campaign against any Negro movement or institution, but whenever they speak it has always been because of the interference of these other institutions and organizations with the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as caused through, in many cases, jealousy, envy and little-mindedness. An Open-Minded·Policy Real leaders welcome every agency of support that would help them to put over a successful program in the interest of those whom they lead, therefore the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leadership welcomes at all times honest and upright Negro movements that are working whole-heartedly for the upholding of the race therefore there can be no fight between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and any such institutions. Why should these institutions and organizations, therefore, continue to be fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association? Is it because these men have no proper sense of leadership? Is it because they do not know that they are damaging the interest of the people? The time has come when people must speak out and let the so-called leaders of the Negro race realize that they will not tolerate this continuous warfare, this continuous bickering in the name of the race Professional Agitators You, the masses of the people, are the arbiters of your own destiny: you are the ones to settle this great question, otherwise you are the ones who will suffer. There are Negro organizations that are purely professional in their attitude toward the race. Such organizations are only avenues through which certain people receive reward for services rendered to their employers—employers who will pay a big price to anyone to start or to maintain any movement that would subvert ultimately the higher aims and aspirations of the Negro race. Such organizations are known to the public by the association that they keep. For instance, it is common knowledge that certain alien elements are financing certain Negro individuals to carry out a program of Bolshevism among Negroes, so that in the future, when they are about to wage their warfare in the interest of Bolshevism, they can count upon a large number of Negroes as supporters. Negro agents of these alien plotters have been fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Line consistently for the purpose of defeating the Negro in his higher hopes of commercial and industrial success. An Appeal to the Negro Leaders While, on the other hand, we have some very useful Negro who have been working in the interest of the race but at the same time under the control of men who are misguided to a great extent, and who have been, because of lack of vision, fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association under cover, we do not want to be at loggerheads with these organizations, because we realize that to fight them would be to imperil the interests of the people. Our appeal, therefore, is to the leaders. Why will you leaders be so narrow? Why are you so little-minded as to attack a movement that has done so much for the race, with the hope of destroying it, so that yours may succeed even though millions of your own race suffer? Can you not see that your action will lead to complete destruction? It has never yet been demonstrated that any individual or any movement or government can permanently last by itself by first trying to lift itself at the expense of the other, because it will only be a question of time when that which you do to others will also be done to you. Therefore the method does not pay; it is not lasting; it is not helpful. If the Universal Negro Improvement Association were to resort to the dirty tricks that other individuals and movements have resorted to to fight it, then there would be a universal chaos in Negro movements. The Universal Negro Improvement Association could not be so mean as to scatter agents all over this country or other parts of the world inspiring them to send up anonymous and other communications to the government authorities, inspiring them to take action on fabricated, imaginary offenses of a rival organization simply because we desire, to see its downfall, which we ourselves cannot bring about because of not having the power so to do. Yet this has been the method of certain Negro organiza- tions and individuals. How mean, how dastardly! And, again, the Universal Negro Improvement Association would not resort to the mean and contemptible act of sending spies and employing them to remain in the employ of rival organizations, so as to get imaginary as well as real information to be relayed to the government or to the public for the purpose of defeating the interest of that organization. Yet this is just what some of our Negro organizations are trying to do with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Again I say, how mean how contemptible! Unworthy of Public Confidence Leaders who are capable of playing these dirty tricks are not worth the confidence of the people. You are not only fighting a rival organization, you are fighting against the emancipation of your own race. We gain nothing by doing that. When it is considered that the Negro is an industrial serf and peon in nearly every civilized part of the world, when we realize that he is a social outcast, when it is considered that in our own motherland Africa, France rules territory twenty times her size; that the British flag files over an empire in Africa as large as the United States; that Germany's lost colonies in Africa are many times larger than the Fatherland; that Belgium, Portugal and Italy have territories in Africa thirty times the size of their own country, then you will readily see that there is much work to be done by each and every one of the four hundred million of us other than fighting and bickering among ourselves and laying plots for our own destruction. The Racq's Bitterest Enemies We cannot injure any popularly acclaimed leader of the Negro race, because of spite without injuring the interest of the millions he represents. We cannot injure the interest of any organization where millions of people are concerned without injuring these millions of people. Then how dare you say that you are a leader, when you fail to take these things into consideration? It is for the millions of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as well as the supporters of this movement the world over; to realize that our bitterest enemies are not so much those from without as within; men who will continue to find faults when there are no faults; men who will continue to lie against and to libel a movement just for the sake of holding it up to public ridicule cannot be classified as leaders of this race of ours, but rather as the race's bitterest enemies Treachorous Enemies During the war of 1914-1918 some of the bitterest enemies of America were Americans themselves; some of the bitterest enemies of England were Englishmen themselves; some of the bitterest enemies of France were Frenchmen themselves; some of the bitterest enemies of Germany were Germans themselves; and so of Italy, and of Russia, but what did these countries do to their enemies who were called traitors? They imprisoned them. Well, the Negro has no government, the Negro has no administrative control, and, therefore, he cannot imprison his traitors, and his enemies; the most we can do is to disassociate ourselves from them, treat them as pariahs, let them feel that they are lepers, outcasts, and if we do that we will be able to fortify this race of ours, and instead of having traitors and wicked men who will accept pay to defeat our interest, we will be able to build up a loyal, patriotic race that will work for its own salvation. An Open Heart to All The time is coming when we must universally get together for the putting over of this bigger program of our industrial, commercial, social, political and religious liberty. Let us get together, therefore, as quickly as possible. The Universal Negro Improvement Association extends an open hand to each and every Negro in the world. We say: "Come in. Let us be 400,000,000 strong. Let us be a united body. Let us work together for the glorification of the race and the redemption of our motherland, Africa." We are about to make an effort to have every reputable Negro organization and institution from all parts of the world represented at our third international convention, at which time we hope not only the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the National Equal Rights League, and all such worthy organizations will get together. But out of the convention will come the real leadership that we seek, the placing of men who are fit to lead. There men, who may be scattered among different organizations today and who are working in different and separate directions, yet having the same object: Real leadership is not selfish. If we are interested in the purposes of the race we should be PASSAGE OF DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DECLARED BY MARCUS GARVEY AS MARKING GREAT CHANGE IN THE MINDS AND THOUGHTS OF PEOPLE OF AMERICA IN THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARD THE NEGRO LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Evening, January 29 1922—The attendance tonight at the regular Sunday evening meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association held here showed no diminution on the part of the people in their eagerness to hear its beloved, most-talked-of and most maligned leader, and by their presence to encourage him by continued manifestation of absolute confidence in his probity and his unselfish devotion to the cause of the Negro peoples of the world and to the U. N. I. A. as the greatest existing agency for the promotion and advancement of that cause. The hall was crowded to the utmost and a program was supplied which, in point of the excellence of the music and the addresses heard, was incomparable to anything that could be found anywhere in this or any other city in the country among colored people. If any one expected to see any sign of an impending crash or collapse of the great movement because of the underground attempts of certain opponents to injure and discredit the leader personally, or if any one attended the meeting in the belief that all who arose to speak would show signs of quaking in the knees, or quivering of speech, that individual, was sorely disappointed On the contrary, there was a dignity in the whole of tonight's meeting that was in keeping with a Sabbath night occasion, and highly commendable to the association, in view of the storm and stress through which it is at present passing The president general, who delivered the principal address of the evening, spoke on the subject. "The Changes That Will Come." He alluded to the passage of the Diver Anti-Lynching Bill has veek in the House of Representatives at Washington, and said that this great step made by legislation in the interest of securing justice for the Negro in this country, was secured largely or in great measure through the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the spirit this association has imbued in Negroes everywhere—the spirit of determination that they shall be treated as men. He gave President Harding due credit for the influence he (the President) exercised in effecting the passing of the bill, and praised those members of the House who voted for it. "It was," said Mr. Garvey, "not because there was so much a manifestation of a sudden conversion in the hearts of the legislators who make up the House of Representatives; on the contrary, it was caused rather through something that presented itself to them, which they could not under any circumstances ignore, and that was the sweeping force and determination of Negroes everywhere to be free one day, and their attitude to return a "blow for a blow." Going further, Mr. Garvey commended: "That has made more impression on the hearts of statesmen everywhere than all the prayers we have sent up since emancipation." The speaker said that he hoped that after the bill actually became a law, lynching would cease. Its passing, he went on, is an indication of the new thought that now possesses and has taken hold of the nation in its attitude toward the Negro. "But," continued the great leader, "we are not satisfied. We are not satisfied, because there is much more left for us to get; much more is left to be accomplished, and, above all, we have before us the great objective of Africa, which we must be considered." but, and he, you have surprised the arbole world. They have sent out Teeters not only in New York, but throughout the country to break the morale of the people, and they are surprised to know that the membership still stands one hundred per cent strong for the cause of African redemption. Bir William H. Ferris and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis delivered addresses that are reported in another column of this issue, verbatim, and should be read by everyone, because of their high and lofty sentiments and inspiring thoughts to all Negroes actuated by love of race and interested in the cause of their own salvation. A new speaker tonight was Mr B A R Watkins, a lawyer, and member of the Chicago division of the U N I A A Mr Watkins has practised law in the Windy City more than thirty years. He had come from Washington whence he traveled on business, to make a flying visit to Liberty Hall to see and hear for himself the people of the New York local. He said he was greatly impressed and wondered whether the members all realized the importance of the movement and the part they are playing. He met an orator, who was many able lawyers, knew how to come to the point, and express in good, smooth English his views and impressions. He was given a hearty ovat on upon raising to speak and at the conclusion of his address was loudly applauded. MR. GARVEY'S SPEECH Mr Garvey announced that he would speak on the subject, "The Changes That Will Come." Said he Since the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association into the life of the Negro peoples of the world, great changes have come over us. However, few of us seem to realise and appreciate the good that has come out of it, for some people regard it as an evil, wrongly so, of course, especially those who without mercy, criticise us for everything we do and everything we say. But those who are thoughtful, those who are will go to investigate for themselves and be truthful, will readily admit that more beneficial changes have come over the Negro world within the last two years than we had experienced in the last fifty-six. Referee to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill As an illustration of the changes that come to us it is for me to announce that last week, of all that has been thought in this country for over fifty years, and for which no proper step was taken, that it is to curb it, the House of Representatives of this country passed a bill by the name of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill when in itself, when embodied into law, will be an earnest effort to stop that great evil, that great crime practiced upon our race, and especially in the southern part of the United States. Some people will ask, What connection has the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the passing of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. My answer is. The great emphatic impression that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through its organization throughout the world, has made upon the minds and hearts of the statesmen of the world and the governments of the world, is responsible for every change that is brought about favorable to the Negro today. (Applause.) The passing of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was but a continuation of the program of President Harding in his advocacy for better consideration for the Negro people, in that he pointed out that the question was no longer merely a domestic one, nor confined alone to the southern section of the country, but was becoming a world-wide question, and had to be settled from that point of view. The passing of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was not because there was any modern conversion in the hearts of Southern legislators and other legislators who make up the House of Representatives, but it was caused through something that presented itself to them which they do not under any circumstances, ignore, and that was the sweeping force and determination of Negroes everywhere to be free one day (Applause.) and the attitude of Negroes everywhere to return a blow for a blow. That has made more impression on the hearts of statesmen everywhere than all the prayers we have sent to them exclamation. (Applause.) Influence of U. N. T. A. on Pasteure of Gin I don't care who takes credit for the Tiger, but appellation IIIII. I have, not wim, taken credit for the bluesmen that serve the job thing, the values of these bluesmen, who bring them about, there be but one connoisseur and that is the advent of the Universal Negro Bluesmen, bebolian (Applause). No, am I in the United States of America have we brought about whole- THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922 Due in Large Measure to Advent of Universal Negro Improvement Association and Determination of Negroes Everywhere to Be Treated as Men CREDIT GIVEN PRESIDENT HARDING AND PRAISE BESTOWED THOSE WHO SUPPORTED BILL—RACE STILL NOT SATISFIED—OTHER THINGS YET TO BE ACCOMPLISHED—REDEMPTION OF AFRICA MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL—NEGRO MORE SERIOUS AND DETERMINED IN THIS, THOUGH WITH FEARFUL ODDS AGAINST HIM Wisest Leadership Required, Not of Silk Stocking Variety, but Kind That Is Willing to Face Reverses and Make Any Sacrifices Necessary RADICALISM MEANS PROGRESS—CONSERVATISM BEING SATISFIED WITH PRESENT CONDITION, TO CONSERVE WHAT ONE HAS—HENCE NEGRO CANNOT BE CONSERVATIVE—ALL GREAT REFORMERS, EVEN CHRIST HIMSELF, WERE RADICALS—NO GREAT CAUSE FOR HUMAN LIBERTY EVER WON BY POLICY OF CONSERVATISM Members of Association Extolled for Splendid Morale and Spirit Exhibited of Sticking to Movement Despite Efforts to Injure Cause and Hold It Up to Ridicule, and Standing Loyally by Leader in Hour of Trial people but even in the heart of South Africa, where we have compiled the southern crackers' life may be as long as time and there were men who were in the way of them to change their attitude toward the natives there. This, you will realize that we go from one age to another as we pass from one state to the other as great changes will come about through the influence of this great universal movement. Should Appreciate Importance of Cause You men, you people of Liberty Hall you people who make up the movement, cannot appreciate the importance of your cause as much as the people who view you from the outside. As proof of it, as was said to you tonight by Mr. Watkins, a visitor from Chicago, who asked you if you appreciate the value of the work you are doing you cannot comprehend its vastness and greatness, because of your narrowness to the fountain head from which flows the plans and the ideas that direct and control the organization and because of the great part you yourselves are playing in its wonderful program. He wondered whether you really appreciate its importance and significance and whether you understand its great meaning. Well, that is the way that the world sees us, not so much the way the Negro world as the way the allied peoples and alien civilizations are playing in it so big and comprehensive, for the things you are attempting to do are so massive and important that other people who are inspired to the accomplishment of such things are rating you at your own estimation, and, because of that, they will as soon be on willing to concede to you the things that you want, as far as you back up those things by your determination. (Applause) Negro Race Being Put to the Test Negro Race Being Put to the Test But they are not going to yield those things to you simply because you ask for them. They are going to put you to the test, if you are men enough to demand and take the thing that you ask for or believe to be yours, and to show you the spirit that has come over the country, the spirit that has come over the world since the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I will take your memory. I will take your thoughts back to the scene in the house of representatives when the president of was being discussed on the floor of great statesmen of the country. When happened. There were some Negroes in the gallery. You remember what they said. You remember their actions as reported by the newspaper. Ah! then, go and search for the cause of such action on the part of men who have taken on a new vision. It was the determination of those men, it was the spirit of those men that drove home the conviction that what Negroes have been asking for the last four years they meant to have, because they carried the fight oven to the House of Representatives. (Applause.) Will Be Rated by World at Our Own Value Negroca, let me tell you that the world is going to rate you at your own value. If you prove the cowards you have always been then you will go the deserts of cowards, but if you prove yourselves the men you have made up your minds to be, then the world will yield to you the thing of men. And I am saying that, whether they think evil or good about the Universal Negro improvement Association, we have accomplished much, but not even a hundredth part of that which we desire, and as the years grow older, as time passes on, you will see many more changes, not only in this world, but all over the world. And why? Because Negroes everywhere are determined that the program for human liberty must be put oven (Applause.) Efforts of Men Who Passed the Bill Annulated As an institution, as an organization, we appreciate the efforts and the stand taken by the House of Representatives. We compliment the men who voted to pass the bill. We complimented the government for the support given to the measure. I hope typhning will cease after the law has been put on the statute books but it is an indication, however, of the new thought that now possesses, that now has taken been begging this question for mercy for both the ordination, for a long long time, and there were men who said that they would be pious for such an卑薄 bill as this to become a law to stop lynching to pass through the House, but thanked we have lived to see the time we have lived to see the day when a Congress, not of them, but a Congress of white men did not lynch, and we have to do it within the nation and especially where Negroes suffered the most from the injustice and brutality of that a cursed practice of lynching. Race Still Not Satisfied That you have made that impression and have caused so many men of other races to vote in your consideration shows that you have made an impression upon the world. You have touched the hearts of the world. But are you satisfied? Cities of No. 1. Now we are not satisfied because much more much more is left for us to get much more is left to be accomplished and shows all, we have before us the great objective of Africa which must be considered. I hope which the common for the role on the African question will be like majority they did in the House of Representation in the passing of the Dyre Antin Lynching Bill, because we are more serious even on the African question than we have been on any other question yet before us. Planning for Better Conditions We are preparing in this new year for a great effort to bring about a better condition a better state of affairs in Africa as well as throughout the world where our people live. Our program for the coming convention is being laid is being planned and I feel sure that many and great changes will take place in this year of 1927 as such changes will affect this race of ours. Program Must Be Carried to Final Conclusion We have reached the point when we must unitedly without any compromise, without any apology, carry this program to its final conclusion. The world, as I have often said, is undergoing a change—being readjusted—and in this change—in this readjustment—you have to find your place. Now is the time for you to find your place and to hold it. If you do not find that place and if you do not hold that place you will be lost to all the world, you will be lost to yourselves. And we now more than ever should determine that we shall find our economic industrial and commercial place within these United States of America and within the West Indian Archipelago we are determined to find your place and hold it on the great African continent. (Applause.) Africa the Goal of Attraction When it is considered that Africa is becoming the goal of attraction for nations (especially the bankrupt ones) it is time for you to stop and seriously think about the future of your own country. When it is considered that France owns territory in Africa twenty times as large as France—France controls territory in Africa twenty times as large as France in Europe—and when it is considered that Great Britain owns territory in Africa larger than all Europe combined and larger than the whole of North America, you will realize how big the game of plunder is in Africa. Many Embarrassments Expected You will have many embarrassments at this time as you press more and more the question of African freedom. You will have embarrassments coming from all quarters. Why? If there should ever be the elightest hope of your success in this African program it will mean the loss of billions and billions of dollars of wealth to other people who are looking toward Africa for their solvency. As I have said to you before the whole world, with the exception of the United States of America, is now bankrupt; the whole of Europe is looking to Africa for its solvency. France in Europe is bankrupt and is looking to France's colonial possessions in Africa—twenty times as large as France in Europe—for her solvency. Italy is bankrupt and is looking toward her colonial possessions in Africa to make her solvency. Bankruptcy Great Britain is looking toward her colonial possessions in Africa and in Asia to make her again solvent Can't do it, I am not sure if it will and I will do it. A False Conception of Leadership We need not go so far back into history. Just within the last few centuries we have had some useful examples of true leaders in America. Within a couple of centuries we had the great father of this great republic in the person of George Washington. In this twentieth century we have had great leaders of the Irish course. Coming down the ages for 750 years we have had Irish leaders who have paid the price—the supremo price—so that Irishman could be free. So you must count the cost when you talk about leaders and leadership. Leadershens means that at any hour any time you must be ready for sacrifice caring not what the sacrifice is. Leaders Must Be Radical, Fearing None But God Some think it unbecoming for a leader to be radical. Any leader who thinks he can win his cause without being radical is a misguided fellow a poor, misguided man he is. Any man who believes that he can win a cause of human liberty sitting in a dressing room and wearing silk stockings and refusing to soil his shoe or his shirt or his collar is a misguided man. In order to lead you must be rough. (Laughter) You must be unyielding; you must be uncompromising; you must be fearless, you must have no fear but the fear of God. Because the moment you fear man you have lost your cause. (Applause) Some leaders say that you can win a cause by going easy; no cause has ever been won for human liberty—for the freeing of a people—by going easy; you have always had to go strong. (Applause). If you are fighting an enemy the moment you show an inclination to yield to that enemy or to go easy on that enemy, in the twinkling of an eye that enemy downs you. A splendid example of what it means to fight for a victory was demonstrated to us in the last bloody war. When on the one side they cried out "Ease up!" the other side pled out "Ease up!" that what human liberty and human victory means. If you have a cause that is worth winning, it is worth while fighting for well, and I say that any --- leader who believes that he can lead this cause by not offending others is one who is not even fit to follow. You are bound to offer. How can you be conservative when you have nothing to reserve except a lawyer, peonage and aridum. You can only conserve that which is to your interest and benefit. That is to say if I have a good suit of clothes it to my interest to conserve it keep it, because it is good. If on the contrary I have a bad suit, knowing that if I keep that cold it might develop into something that will mean death. I would be a fool to conserve it. (Laughter) I will conserve the suit because it is good it is pleasing to have the suit, but you are the cold I have is affecting my physical strength my physical ability. I would be a big fool to conserve that cold. I would get some radical medicine and break up the cold and if I tried one medicine and I did not succeed I am going to the amputation. That is the difference between conservatism and radicalism. Conservatism means that you must keep that which you have beause you are satisfied if you are satisfied with your condition with you can be conservative, but if you and when our leaders ask us we must pass laws and be correct that they are only to obey us we must not trust the claims that our leaders are not faithful to our promises. And we nothing in that direction to conserve. I am saying there is no method to which the Neptune is to come from. It is not an ancient and ample harm by the others who choose to be conservative. Jeus Christ was the greatest of the world’s law. He came and saw a world of sin and His radical program was to live with the soil and realize it. He was therefore a radical. All men who call themselves radical are nothing else because they are revolting against the conditions that Jeus Christ has in them. He conserves the state and if you do to us we should treat you U N I A. Cannot Go Easy This is the position and the situation of the law in the impoundment of a ship. We are not in the position of offending anybody. If we do so in our way and you do so in offending him out of the way, we must offend to get him out of the way. We are not offending anybody in their rights when we offending anybody for a mile in offending a ship. We are not offending anybody with opportunity of offending a ship and every one of us. We are not offending that ship when we offending it with opportunity of all prices and with grudge. If it is right for the ship to be in our own way to have its own way to offend us and the rastercraft to offend us, then for the ship to be in our own way to offend us, The world is so unfamiliar that one people one race and one nation—would desire for themselves a certain benefits and advantages and deny that others are entitled to the same rights advantages and benefits. For instance they will take me and in that way they will criticize the Universal Negro Improvement Association for having social orders and for wearing robes in office. They will it spectacular. They say Mr. Garvey is spectacular. Now what does that mean anyway? There is no such word in the American dictionary as ap (acute). Therefore Mr. Garvey is spectacular but has opposed it from them. Then why should they be offended at Mr. Garvey's being spectacular. That will show you how unreasonable and unjust some men are. Some white people in Europe and America say Mr. Garvey likes colors and robes and titles. Can you tell me where you can find more robes and robes than in Europe? If you would just take up the Pictorial Review) you will find that the Engl. people when they are about to open their Houses of Parliament you will see the King and Queen with more robes of more colors than you have seen in the rainbow (Laughter). They talk about wearing robes. If you watch the picture well from Buckingham Palace to the House of Commons in Westminster you will see hundreds of men with all kinds of uniforms, all kinds of turbans, all kinds of brooches, daughters, all kinds of uniform—the whole thing looking like one big human shew and everybody going to the circus to see. (Laughter) We have never attempted anything of the kind, yet they say that we are spectacular. They are spectacular in the political sense and they do not want us to be spectacular in the political sense. As far as their society is concerned if you want to hear about titles, just cross the channel. White folks like titles so much that they pile up millions of dollars for a lifetime so that they can buy a title on the other side of can buy a title on the other side of their daughters abroad in order that they may marry a lord or a duke or some other person of nobility. Yet they say Mr. Garvey likes titles. So much for the political and aristocratic aspect of being spectacular. Turn now to the religious phase of it. You will find it fh the Catholic Church. If you want to see something spectacular just wait until they are coronating a pope or burying a pope, or just wait until they are enthroning a cardinal or an archishop or a bishop, and then you will see something spectacular. Why, therefore, should some folks want to be spectacular and do not want Neuros to A Question of Equality be spectacular. We say, therefore, that since they have found some virtue in being spectacular we will try out the virtues there are in being spectacular. But this is human nature. One never likes to see the other indulge in the same advantages and benefits they are enjoying, and that in why this propaganda is waged against us to hold us up to ridicule. But I thank the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world for the spacious and enthusiastic exhibition in sticking to the movement the more they criticise it and the more they try to hold it up to public ridicule. Change Hoe Come Over the Race Let me see, you men and women that I am more satisfied now than over that a change has come over this great race of ones. The years ago when the game of competition turned against any Negro organization that Negro organization would have gone down into despair. Movement Going More Adherents Despite Opposition The warning if any organized campaign was waged against any Negro organization as it waged against the University. Negro Improvement Association within the last few weeks certain institutions would have gone down. But what has happened? The opposition we have encountered has made us stronger. It shows that a change has come over the Negro race everywhere, not only in New York but throughout the length and breadth of the country. Negro Improvement Association has been strengthened by the outrageous attack made against us the time. Messages of Loyalty Received from All Parts Throughout the length and breadth of Africa we have received messages of the civility and devotion of the people in the motherland to the cause of the association. Throughout the length and breadth of the West Indies, Central and South America we have received cable messages of civility and devotion not only in words, but in money they have contributed largely to the defense fund of this organization. Therefore we have every cause to be satisfied. Complimented for Victory Won Men and women of the race I have to compliment you on the gift they have to trouble in the past was that it would not get men who made it most affluent to lead us because they calculated the cost would be too expensive. In the past we have deferred our orders in times of trouble and after them to stand alone which caused me to be坠 alone to risk too much in the prospect of the race but thank God you have within the last few weeks been trained to the world that you are prepared to stand by your leaders come here we (Applause) That is the great victory you have won. The propaganda of the last three weeks was designed for the purpose of seeing if you would desert Garvey, and if you will be坠 alone, and have not in faith and hope of his people the whole thing would have gone down but you have surprised the whole world (Applause). They have sent out feelings not only in New York, but all over the country trying to break the sight of the people and they are sur- pressed that the membership been tall 100 per cent for the tissue of Martin freedom. I think for all you have done in the past and trust you will continue in the future (Applause). PROMINENT CHICAGO LAWYER SPEAK8 The President General then introduced in the next speaker Mr. A. T. Watkins who he said, was one of the most successful lawyers in the country and was connected with one of the biggest colored law firms in the city of Chicago. He was in the city for a couple of hours and had come to Liberty Hall to see the spirit of Liberty Hall. Mr Watkins was greeted with great applause and spoke as follows: I am impressed more than I expected to be. I made a trip from Washington where I had some business, for the purpose of visiting you—visiting Liberty Hall and visiting your headquarters. I am somewhat surprised, and I hope that remark will do you some good. I assure you that it will do the Chicago Division some good. I see you as you do not see yourselves. I am fearful that you do not understand yourselves. Do you realize the wonderful opportunities you have today* immediate; after the construction period and during that period we were the words of the nation. We were dependent upon some one and we expected some one to do us some good and rescue us. The day is past and you are upon your own resources, and unless you do something for yourselves you are lost. Alluding to the remarks of Professor Ferris with reference to the supposed differences among us arising out of the fact that some were from different States and different countries, the speaker said: "When there is any African blood coursing through our veins it brands us all of one kind. It makes no difference in the color; it makes no difference as to what part of the country you come from—it may be from Mississippi or if may be from Europe, nevertheless we are of the same race—one of the greatest races, one of the most learned races and the most civilized races upon the globe, and the oldest." The speaker emphasized the necessity of sticking together, adding that is anything affects or touches the least of us it is the whole organization that The Shares Are $5 Each. Get Yours Now! Right Now! DO YOU KNOW THAT IT represents your strivings, your race's strivings to reach a place in the maritime world that will command respect? DO YOU KNOW THAT just in that measure you give it your unstinted support you contribute to the glory of the achievement? DO YOU REALIZE THAT the full measure of support it marries at your hand? Get those shares now, brother. Get them now, sister. Get 'em right now. Use the coupon. HAVE YOU GIVEN IT—Mr. Negro man or woman, search your own heart and determine whether you would like to see the Red, Black and Green Goating over the seven seas, to all the breezes that blow, proclaiming to the world that "Ethiopia has stretched forth her hand." is touched. This organization cannot go down, he said, this organization cannot perish. This organization is so great that it is impossible to crush it, and it must not be because of the fact that if you are interested enough in the movement you should be interested enough to stand by it through thick and thin. This great movement, in keeping the country and I do not know whether you appreciate Mr. Garvey as much as we in Chicago do. You here in a New York form in contact with me every day, I fear you do not appreciate what a great man be is. I hope that some day the Chicago Division will just as strong as you are here or at any time will be around in strength to the New York Division (Appliance). Prof. William H. Ferrio Speaks Prof. Ferrio the first speaker of the evening, began his address by saying he had just come from a trip to New Haven town on a visit to his mother who lives there. In the afternoon while in New Haven he visited the local division of the L N A where there was a large gathering and a warm meeting. There he heard the full present of the division and the famous Morrals' Arthur Bryan speak and such was the enthusiasm which he been around in the people that all that needed to be needed to enter the Promised Land were battleships and submarines and airplanes. The members of the association in New Haven are planning a big morning Tuesday evening to the American leader the Hon. J H Whelan and the secretary general the Hon. Hufford A. Tuttle to which purpose a big ball has been engaged, all of which he said shows the increased interest which the people of New England are taking in the great war. Prof. Knight and he was greatly impressed by the musical program of the writing of the book with all the influence of the music over him that for the moment seemed to waft him by the sound of its sweet inclot, to heaven only to realize when it was over that he was still in writing on the humble I am glad, and that they take a great deal of joy in the writing of the Negra and the parable of the little man, but that the music, that is heard in letters, has been Earnestness of Nerves for Race Improvement I am in my room. I like the room. As I have the right to night for the past two weeks, but the people who have to make this room on their own need to be there in their own room to get the new equipment of the New York City. Every time I was a boy I have heard the question during my pre and now years go when Bishop Alexander Waltz conducted the ceremony of the race in the national capital. I remember how lawmen drilled into conversations and presented them to President Kinley. Then I saw that movements gradually fade, to be followed by the Trottor movement I saw Trottor spend thirty days and thirty nights in the Charles street jail for breaking a house. T. Washington meeting I saw him near Woodrow Wilson. I saw him in the room. I saw a cook and bringing the attention of the Negro before the eye of the world. And we that movement failed. I saw Lawyer H. yes who had loved that speech in W. Smith where I lived. It is written in the text and engraved in the show that the Negro in Virginia will not be staffed. I saw that movement. Cause of Failures of Past Race Movements Why did these two our movements fail? It we became the economic foundation and the bedrock of industrial prosperity did not be at the base of these movements. Now, when I hear colored orators say, "Viive me liberty or give me death!" I think of the first man who said those words Patrick Henry who at that time was a prosperous lawyer. When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence he was wealthy. When George Washington commanded the prison inmates he was a wealthy man. The colonists spent 150 years building up their economic and commercial interests until they had an industrial backbone, and then went forward and wasted successful warfare for their political rights and independence. I believe in aspiring to do what other successful and progressive peoples are doing and accomplishing. I believe in proclaiming to the world that we regard ourselves as men and not as part How Many Shares Have You Purchased? monkey and part man nor as the "missing link" between man and the lower animals, as Darwijn wrote about. But at the same time I believe that back of the demand must come that industrial mastery and that commercial power which can make that 'mean effective. Revolutionizing of Negro Thought The U N L A. has contained several big ideas which have revolutionized the thought of the Negro, and when you have revolutionized a man thinking you have got control of the man, and can compel him to do big things and great things. This idea of contiguity of black men all over the world is a big idea. I remember when in Chicago, I was eating in a restaurant when a man from Barbados came in, and another gentleman followed. I asked him, "Do you know him?" and he said, He is a Jamaican. I don't know whether he will feel friendly to me or not. Then I have heard it said by people in the South, that so-and-so in from South Carolina, or from Virginia or from North Carolina, as if that fellow was sufficient to cause a difference between them because they were not of the same state or region. Now the U N L A has broken up that provincialism until now one Negro feels alien to another Negro, no matter where he comes, as it should be. (Applause.) Here the speaker said there had even been different as among the people of the town on the ground of complexion those of one complexion or shade refusing to have anything to do with those of a lighter or a darker hair. Many he said had sung the hymn. When me I shall be whiter than snow, and actually tried to breach their complexion in the vain imagination that that would in fact make them any better among their fellows or mine them in their status before other races and people. Eradication of Travail, Minor Diseases But, said Prof Ferris, on thining the Universal Negro Improvement Association through the Hon Marquis Hassan, has proclaimed that not the sign of the skin on the texture of the body, but the beard of all the willpower, the manhood and heart and courage, the individual, is what makes the man. That said thought has been planted in the minds of the Negro by the N.I.A., and thus has revolutionized the thinking of the black man. Then followed the idea to arouse and increase the interest of the Negro African. I used to hear men say that they had lost nothing in Africa. They have been told that Africa was the only place that out of Egypt and Ethiopia came the first astronomer and scientist and philosopher and the logicians they have been told that Africa is the richest country in the world. They have been shown that there is something that links them not only to the Africa of the past, but to the Africa of the future and I believe that through these basic ideas, the Universal Negro Improvement Association will give the Negro that objective that vision, that perspective by which, with an increased sense of his mission in the world, he will go forth to perform deeds of valor and greatness (Aplaeuse). MI88 DAV18 8PEAK8 Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis said she had just returned from a visit to Philadelphia where on Friday evening, at the division of the U. N. I. A, the introductory part of the program was given by the children and rendered splendidly - little tots - as she described them, giving original orations and speaking of Africa, our fatherland, showing that they are being trained in their youth to love Africa. Need of Instilling Race Pride in Children of the Race She desired to make an appeal especially to the parents of the colored children of New York that they pay more attention to the training of their children in the principles and ideals and naparitations of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the race in general "The plastic mind" she pointed out, "takes in these things most readily. When we teach our childdren patriotism, love of country, love of the "ag, we are really forming a great nation. The nation that we hope to plant in Africa must have its beginning on this side of the water, and that is why this wonderful plan, amanating from the brain of our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvoy, bids us begin right where we are, so that we will be ready for Africa and can make Africa ready for us." A review of her past life, Miss Davis declared, showed that she owed much of the work she is now able to do to the training of her parents. They taught her love of race, pride of race, the history of the Negro, particularly his ancient history, which is so magnificent. She then related that her father had been privileged to travel the world o e and brought back with him souvenirs from the countries he had visited. These souvenirs and his travels he explained to her and in that way she acquired a desire and love for travel and determined to see those places which he had visited in her youth.

John T. Ray, mom recently at Church, Wade Park at East 56th street. He pointed out how Importance of Right Training for Our Children We, of all people, said Miss Davina, should look to the training of our children, environed, as they are by the white race, attending the schools with white children, causing them almost to lose sight of their own race. In fact, by their environment they nearly lose sight of the aspirations of our own people. So it remains for the parents to instill into the children the things that will last through that child's lifetime. Therefore, see to it parents, that you hold before your children the principles of this great association of ours, bring them to these meetings, let them hear this master orator (referring to Mr. Garvey) let them hear the magnificent music that is here rendered. It is so unifying and inspiring. Nurture your children in the great principles of our race as taught and exemplified by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and when they have grown to manhood and to womanhood they will be so wedded to those principles, their love and pride of race will be so strong and loyal that they will, if needs be, be willing to fight and to die for their race, because love of race has grown will its growth and strengthened with its strength (Great applause) BUFFALO, N.

A GREETING FROM NIGERIA My Dear Dr. Ferris It affords me the greatest pleasure to read with the spirit of understanding that your work has been appreciated by the new Negroes and the result was that you were among the recipients at the Ethiopian court at the last convention of the knighthood. It is not a matter of amazement to those who are readers of The Negro World, because your editorials deal with vehemence and re consistent to the praise of the new Negroes. Accept my heartiest congratulations, please, which extend to Brother John Bruce and others, to the honor you all have attained. I wish the association long life. We have no agent here for The Negro World paper and am recommending a lady here by the name of Mrs. Lauretta A. Barroille, who has a merchandise shop, to undertake the agency, as she takes very grave interest in the publishing of the U. N. L. A. whenever the public visits her shop, and if she takes two or three dozen copies weekly I am of the opinion that she will win souls to partake of a membership. My supply reaches me elsewhere and it takes a very long time to reach me. Best regards and good wishes. Fraternally yours, JOSHUA WILSON. Zavia, Nigerin. Nov. 24, 1921. WHITE PREACHER LAUDS AFRICAN CONVERT A lesson for modern man was drawn from the story of the conversion to Christianity of the Ethiopian, found in the eighth chapter of the Book of Acts, by Rev. John T. Raymond in his sermon recently at Fidelity Baptist Church, Wake Park avenue N. E. and East 65th street. He pointed out how this slave, living in a land of idol worship, had sought out knowledge of the true God in a foreign country, found what he believed was the right religion and began to study the Scriptures on the return journey to his native land. "What is our conduct when returning to our homes from worship?" asked Mr Raymond. "Boisterous laughing, the telling of funny stories or comments upon someone's new apparel." Will Stand in Judgment "I sometimes think that this black man from far away Africa, coming from worship in Jerusalem reading from the Scriptures, will be ammowed to stand in judgment against the Christian men and women of America in the matter of Bible reading." Elsewhere in his discourse, "When the Deacon Preceded, He was Raymond said: "Philip, the Dragon was found in amuria, in the midst of a mighty work, the spirit of the Lord summoned him to go down the Gaza way where he would set an Ethiopian The latter royal treasurer at the court of Candace. Queen of Ethiopia, was returning from Jerusalem, where he had gone to worship. "As the royal traveler approached the Spirit of the Lord said, Philip took himself unto his christ. There were one things that stood in the Ethiopians way as obstacles which he had to overcome to reach the state of mind and heart in which we find him at the close of the chapter. "He was rich unto Gaza the last town within the bounds of Israel almost out of the country of God a people. He was a rich man high in authority, and it is written. How hardly shall they that be rich enter into the kingdom of God. He was a descendant of Ham, hence of the race that was sunken in darkness and idolatry. "This Ethiopian had tried, most likely to find rest in the worship and religious doctrines and rites of his own country. Ethiopia had nothing to give him but in Jerusalem he had heard that the true God was known." Went Deacite Mockery "He had gone to Jerusalem, an epithe of the mocking of his co. in the smile of the philosopher and the ridicule of his friends. Now he was returning to his own country, his fears not allayed but quickened, his anxiety not removed but deepened But blessed Be God. he brought from Jerusalem something more than his own feelings in his hand he carried the message of God that brings light, peace and joy. What a splendid way to send one's time after coming from worship!" "He was reading that blessed Messalanto prophecy of Isaiah when he was met by Philip. The latter in at the same place and preached unto him Jesus. The Ethiopian listened, now light broke in, now hope rose in his troubled soul and he asked. What doth hinder me to be baptized? May I also receive the sign and seal of his covenant and be numbered among his people?" "What doth hinder you, anxious and weary one, to be Christ's?" Nothing go far as Christ is concerned. He came to seek and save that which was lost. He calls you. He offers peace and pardon, full and free. His work is finished: redemption is complete. All you need is to realize that you are a sinner and Christ is the Savior. "And we read that the Ethiopian said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God," and he commanded the chariot stand still and they both went down into the water with Philip and were baptized. And then went his way rejoicing." WEST INDIES RECIPROCITY British Bend Offer to Renew Preference for Decade ST. VINCENT, British West Indies, Jan. 29 - Major Wood, head of a special mission sent by the British Government to investigate economic and political conditions in the West Indies, has informed the Associated West Indian Chambers of Commerce that as NK All Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to collect immediately from each and every member their annual Dollar Tax in keeping with Article VIII, Section I, of the Constitution. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General a result of their efforts the British Government is prepared, subject to approval of Parliament, to agree that the preference on West Indian goods which are now entitled to preferential rates on importation into the United Kingdom, shall be continued for ten years from the date of the agreement. on the basis of reciproclity. The Chambers of Commerce are still pressing for increasing the preference for West Indian sugar. SCHENECTADY U. N. I. A. NEWS The first mass meeting o. the Schenectady) Division was held at the Zion A M E Church, Sunday, January 15. The division, which has much room for growth, was organized by the Rev Dr. C. H. Duvall. Commissioner of New York, during his up-State trip in the month of December 1921. Schenectady is suffering. Like many other cities, from pitiable unemployment, which prevents her from showing her real worth as a member of this great movement, but she expects to give a good account of herself as soon as the weather warms up. Our mass meeting was for the purpose of meeting the public in an effort to increase our membership. It was a real success, but though our local talent (prinically in music) was as astonishing and beautiful the height of success was reached through the magnetic influence and high standard of intelligence produced by the Hon. H. Vinton Plummer director of publicity in the parent body. The publicity read from Mr. Plummer from week to week in The Negro World should be quite enough to introduce any man to the world as a possessor of a standard personality, but when you become personally acquaint- with his personality you find yourself many steps higher in your determination that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to stay, for all any organization that lights for justice requires to have enough men of his type as members, and success is assured. The Negroes of Schenectady know nothing about Garveyism. They ask every interested one what it really can, but those who listened to Mr. Plumer do not ask this question any more. The Schenectady Division is now asking them: When are they going to join? When Mr. Garvey leaves here we expect to have every Negro in the U. N. L. A., but already we are getting ready to have Mr. Plumer return again. This time we expect to be able to accommodate him as we wish. J. W. SWEENEY, Pres. CHICAGO, Dec. 17. - Bedroom drains, touched femininity, sometimes French plains, and shows of a similar nature, are all symptoms of "the low moral tone" of metropolitan life. Dr Howard Ameen Johnson said in addressing a meeting of the Federation Council of the Christian Churches in America. Dr. Johnson, president of the Chicago Church Federation, urged the churches to united effort for evangelization of Chicago and o: "city cities to wipe away the stains upon morality." College courses in race relations, particularly in the South, were advocated by Dr. Wilt W. Alexander, of Atlanta, Ga., director of the commission on inter-racial co-operation, in all address before the Body last night. "College men and women will hear the Gospel applied to kids when older persons refuse." Dr. Alexander said. "The student bodies of colleges should be presented with a consideration of this problem from the conservative viewpoint, and wherever possible the white students should be given the opportunity of hearing the best Negroes, both men and women, present the question from their viewpoint." Radial prejudice against the Negro has begun to manifest itself in the Northern and Middle Western States, since the migrations have increased Negro population there, Dr. Alexander reported. The united church, he declared, must undertake to combat race prejudice in America. "It has led in securing the advantages of education for the 12,000,000 Negroes, but what it has done is only a beginning." Mortality in institutions for children under three years of age, that was visited in September, was stunting 80 per cent. and in homes for children from 12 to 18 years old, at 75 per cent. Miss Haines reported. Dr. Alexander, alluded to above, is a member of the local committee on inter-racial relations, and has been director of the national commission on inter-racial co-operation for a number of years. He was prominent in Y. M. C. A. war-work among the Negroes, and headed the personnel department of the united war fund drive for funds for social agencies. He gave up a pastorate in Tennessee some years ago to enter Y. M. C. A. work here. He is widely known in Atlanta and is an impressive speaker.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS WITHIN the past fortnight the press of the world announced that Pope Benedict XV, James Bryce, the author of "The American Commonwealth" and "The Holy Roman Empire," and Nelly Bly, who made a trip around the world in record time, had passed away. Just a few weeks before announcement of the passing away of Henry.W. Watterson and Senator Henry Boise Penrose appeared. And this news followed shortly after the death of Senator Philander K. Knox and Dr. Geo. T. Ladd, who were preceded into the Unknown Country by Senator Winthrop Murray Crane. Then as we read the colored newspapers we read of the passing away of Ralph Tyler, Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, who was Lieutenant-Governor of Louisiana during the Reconstruction Days, Miss Mariah Baldwin, Col. Young and Counsellor Frank Wheaton. Death is a daily occurrence. Every organism is a temporary combination of molecules and ator which must sooner or later be released from their complicated relations and return to a simpler state of being. And it has been the belief of thinkers that just as the body goes back to the earth from which it came, the soul of man goes back to the God from whom it came. But it is not our purpose in this brief editorial to speculate upon the mysteries of death and the possibilities and the probabilities of the immortality of the human soul, but to reflect of the meaning of the passing away of so many eminent men and women in a brief space of time. Twenty years ago last fall, in the autumn of 1901, Yale University celebrated its bi-centennial, the two hundredth anniversary of its founding. Elaborate pageants and parades, gorgeous robes and great meetings characterized the event. Scholars, statesmen, artists, musicians, inventors and business men came from far and near to deliver addresses and receive honorary degrees. We recall how President Eliot of Harvard, the chancellor of Oxford University and Marquis Ito were gazed at with admiring eyes. We recall the ovation that Mark Twain received when he walked to his seat in the open air amphitheatre. We recall the wild enthusiasm which greeted Col. Theodore Roosevelt's appearance upon the campus and the thousands that surged towards the Hyperian Theatre to catch a glimpse of him as he entered the building. We recall the address of Dr. Cyrus Northrup, president of University of Minnesota; of Justice David Brewer of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the address of Prof. William Knight, the Scotch philosopher, on "Philosophy and Poetry." We remember how he closed by saying "Philosophy may say 'I bought my liberty with a price,' but Poetry can reply, 'But I am free born.'" We recall the beautiful phrases of President Arthur Twining Hadley in conferring the degrees. It is not our purpose to tell over again the story of that memorable celebration. But as we read the Nation, the New Republic, the Freeman, the World Tomorrow, the Book Review and Magazine Section of the New York Times and the Book Review and Magazine Section of the New York Evening Post we rarely read an article or see an address of any of the famous men who graced the celebration at Yale with their presence twenty years ago. We see reference to them, some admirer, historian or book reviewer. As a matter of fact nearly all of the great men who were in the limelight twenty years ago and dominated the philosophical, political and financial thought of the world have stepped from time to eternity or retired from active service. Fifteen years ago men crowded the national Capitol to hear Speaker Cannon and Senators Foraker, Spooner, Lodge, Balley, Tillman, Nelson, and Senator Patterson, or to get a glimpse of Senators Crane and Aldrich. Five years before they hung upon the words of Senators Hoar, Carmack, O. H. Platt and General Hawley. Of that group of Senators and Congressmen Henry Cabot Lodge and Jone Cannon alone are still in the public eye. The same might be said of the noted Negroes who attended the Allo-American Council in Louisville, Ky., in the summer of 1903; Owen Bishop, Alexander Walters, Bishop J. W. Hood, Col. Bill Pledger, Editor Scott, Jainta Hayer, Lawyer McGee, Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Col. Lewis of New Orleans, J. Madison Vance of New Orleans, Mr. Churchman of Orange, N. J.; Editor Knox of the Indianapolis Freeman, a Jew A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion bishops, the famous T. Thomas Fortune and Dr. Booker T. Washington held the center of the almae. Of the central figures in that historic convention, Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter, Mr. George W. Forbes, T. Monroe Fortune and Rev. Charles Satchel Morris alone are still in the harness. The last twenty years flave not only seen old actors leave and the actors enter the stage of human action, but it has seen old issues and new issues taking their place. The ethnological theories of Bechtel, Taylor and Keane have been supplanted by those of Sergel, Daly, Evans, Chamberslain and Bede, who recognized the part by means of Mgro blood in the early days of civilization. The has been implanted by the electron as the simplest element in been supplanted by the pragmatism of James and Bergson. Socialism was not seriously considered then, but it is today. Bolshevism was not only not thought of twenty years ago, but it was not dreamt of And in things Afric there has been a change also The radicalism of Dr Du Bois shocked the friends, followers and admirers of Dr Booker T Washington eighteen years ago. But that radicalism is now regarded as conservatism. The preachers were Negro kings twenty years ago, but they must now divide their supremacy with others. Colored leaders flocked to Washington, D.C., twenty years ago looking for political jobs, but they are now building up business enterprises. No Negro racial organization could thrive twenty years ago unless some abolitionist, son of an abolitionist or philanthropist set the seal of his approval upon it. But now we have the U N I A, which was thought out by Negro brains and fashioned by Negro hands, just as the burnished armour of Achilles was evolved out of the brains of Vulcan, the Greek god, and fashioned by his mighty hands. Twenty years ago our Anglo Saxon friends and patrons chose leaders for black men, but they now select leaders for themselves. Twenty years ago Africa was regarded as a country which was beneath the notice of the cultured Afro-American. But now Africa is regarded as the cradle of civilization, as the land where black men in Egypt and Ethiopia land the foundation of the world's civilization as the land where Moses, Herodotus, Anaxagoras and Plato drank deep draughts of inspiration, as the land which sheltered Jesus of Nazareth in his tender years, as the land from whence St Augustine and other eminent church fathers came. Africa is now regarded as the richest comment on God's green earth, a land teeming with gold, copper, coal, iron, ivory, diamonds, ebony, mahogany, cocoa, rubber, kola, coffee, palm oil and cassava a land with a virgin soil, a land of undreamt of agricultural and mineral possibilities a land populated by human beings, in a primitive state, perhaps, but capable of infinite development, and with possibilities and potentialities that have not yet come to fruition. "Black men, what are you doing in the new age? Are you mastering the science, the politics, the industry and commerce of the races who are now on top? Are you availing yourself of the privileges which the industrial institutes, the commercial schools, the universities of the world, the free public libraries and the tree lecture courses offer? This is the bicycle age. You must keep moving or else fall off or get off of the machine." Other races may offer the black man a helping hand, but it he is to be a winner in the race of life, if he is to reach the summit of the mountain, he must rely upon his own foresight to show him the way his sturdy muscles to do the running and climbing and his intrepid will to nerve him to struggle on and on until he receives the prize for winning the race or gains the sun-kissed heights that appeal to his imagination. Black men face prescriptions, but they also face great opportunities. I let Emerson's thought ring in their ears: "Give me health and a day and I will make the pump of the Imperor ridiculous."

Look at the Negro, to a vast portion of the American public, is yet a "Nigger." The word is a stigma of inferiority and its users know it. Ever since its origin it was used to label the Negro as a member of an inferior race. The Russians and Poles and Libuanians who came to America and were called "names" strenuously objected to it and the result is, being white, they have no naged to grow far beyond the reaches of objectionable cognizance. But "Nigger" lingers, and here comes Prof Heywood Broun at the New York World condoning the use of it. Prof Broun, who is the dean of the school of spontaneity in literature, sales with it, is a apostle of the free verse movement in poetry, who thinks that it is not a bad word at all and the Negro ought not to blish and manble at its use. Says Prof Broun: "Carl Sandburg expressed himself about something yesterday which we had been turning over in our mind. He thinks that one of the necessary steps in the progress of the American Negro is for him to accept the word 'Nigger and make it his own' so that the word had its origin in contempt, but acceptance itself would serve to rob 'Nigger' of all sting. Some such process has gone on in connection with 'Yankee' and no Confederate soldier or named being called a 'Reb' after he himself had begun to use it. "From the standpoint of language there is much to be good for 'Nigger' 'Colored man' is hopelessly ornate and 'Negro' is tainted with ethnology. More than that, it is a literary word 'Nigger' is a live word. There is a ring to it like that of a true com upon a pavement. Nor are all the connotations of the word shamgful to the Negro race. Something of the terrific contribution of physical energy which the Negro has made to America is inherent in the word 'Nigger.' To our mind it brings up a vision of a man wrestling with great burdens and conquering them. Blood and sweat and tears have all combined to make 'Nigger' stark and simple. Among nam-bam-pamby words it looms like a great rock. It is basic, but not base "And, after all, it has been the function of the Negro in America to furnish a back for other men to stand upon. His labors have contributed vastly to our wealth. Few men of his race have won great distinction in the arts, and yet it is from him that almost everything worth while in American literature and American music has been derived. Others have had the privilege of turning the somersaults, but their start has been from the stalwart shoulders of the man with both feet upon the earth. This vital, deep-rooted figure can say 'I am a Nigger' and make the word as true and as rich as the soul from which it springs." Ever heard of more asinine outpourings in all your life? Library rules which please: We have learned lately of several misconceptions as to library rules. We want to straighten them out by telling you what you may do, instead of what you may not. 1. You may receive your library card as soon as a postal can reach you after filling out your application. This is a new rule. Those who have not joined before come and try it. 2. You may take out at one time six books, a musical score and a periodical. 3. You may keep your books two weeks and renew them for a further two weeks by calling at the library or notifying us by phone. 4. At the end of three years when your card expires, you may renew it simply by filling out another application. You need not wait at all. 5. At any time you obtain the library.

EDW L. library Bookshelf HOW AFRICA IS TO BE REDEEMED The above is the real problem of Africa for the Africans at home and abroad, and to every man, woman and child that has one drop of Igero blood flowing through their veins. It is also a challenge to the enlightened and civilized Negroes of the entire world. The solution of this problem has been tried out by men of the allen race and as history shows, it has met with failure. I am a firm believer that the solution is up to the American and West Indian Negroes in great measure owing to the fact that we have been in contact with western civilization more than our brothers at home. I agree with Dr Blyden Mohamed Duse Ali and the Hon. Marcus Garvey that the African himself, at home assisted by those abroad must do the work of redemption. In the limited space let us study a few plain facts. In every field of practical knowledge the rate of progress has been marvelous from the day in which men began to clorery observe, to weigh and measure facts. Thus the applications of astronomy were swapt away by the most definite of the sciences - astronomy. Thus the fellies and fancies of alchemists and their efforts to find the illizir of life and the philosopher a stone developed in the science of chemistry. In mechanics, men are trained to observe a vibrating vacuum and actively grouped after perpetual motion but when they act to work earnestly to investigate the properties of materials and the eternal laws which govern their combination in structures and may, in the science progressed with gigantic articles and daily contributed more and more to amuse the combination of the whole human family. So it is with the young of the sciences, the electricity. Till quite recent professors were content to exhibit a series of electric tricks and hold experiments, more curious to the study and of practical utility to the man. But when practical men are to accept their vague talk about motion and current and begin to use quantities of electricity and use in the permanent principles on which the production and a portion of electric current depend a science was established on a perfect and intelligible basis and a period of invention of miraculous of the appliances operated such as musical instruments occurred in the history of England. The astounding progress of recent years in physical mechanics and electricity has been due chiefly to the great investigation of currents and electric potentials induced by the contact and every proportion in practice has been in exact proportion to the necessity and hence by invasions to these unstable facts and principles. It is a matter for special notice that in every department of applied science we have to deal with the unseen. All forces which in physics or mathematics or electricity are in fact. All efforts to apply these forces in short, progress which has recently been so extensively made and so being used to the right concept, but a certain force exists, but to the actual determination of the amount of that force. It is not enough to know that a current flows, the practical eletrification must know how much current or light is flowing. It is enough for the engineer to know that every cause produces an effect, he must be accurate and reckon the magnitudes of both cause and effect. This fact will prove of valuable use if carefully born in mind in doing with those other fields of thought which are called practical. In the pursuit of exact science every inquirer must go direct to the foundation of truth. Here is no charlatan, no nope diest of priest or pontifex no order of cardinal or convolution. Formerly men endeavored to evolve a philosophy out of their own inner consciousness. What they supposed must be the laws of Nature they dogmatically asserted to be her laws. But Nature refused to be bound and determinedly concealed her secrets until men gave up their idea of being masters, dictating what ought to be, and consented to become pupils and humbly sit and learn at Nature's foot. My object, and the object of the above preamble, is to show that in attacking so vast a problem as the future of Africa, we must cast aside all general and indefinite conceptions as to how we might suppose the problem will be solved and carefully examine the conditions and actual facts of the case allowing the e to direct us to a true solution. Feat No. 1 Here is a mighty continent rank for centuries in ignorance and degradation. Its past glory has faded. For the last 500 years its history is a story of woe and cruel wrong. It has been a prey to every form of greed and rapacity of man Greek and Roman Arab Moor French Italian Spaniard and Turk have swept its northern half Christian Europe with Napal sanctuary Protestant England-old and new Arab and heathen Hindu have conspired to drain the life's blood of the southern half. Portuguese and Belgians all join in the "free for all country," leaving only Liberia in the west and Abyssinia in east. All these fires have raged for ages, yet as we look around we are bound to wonder that nec tamen consumabatur. In former years the universal aim was to steal the African from Africa—we stand here in America as a living evidence of that fact, the children of those people whom they stole from our motherland. Today the determination of Europe is to steal Africa from the Africans. In the name of Christianity, free trade and civilization, we see fire water and firearms pouring in at every port. Our ores are wiser than we and are today all but masters of the situation. In view of the above, Fact No. 4 our plain duty is to organize and remain organized Fact No 2 Fellow men of the Negro race in our study Past No. 2, an in doing so we must bear in mind that there are two elements of alliance which at present are in ading Africa, both using the same methods, namely, trade in religion. Their past success or failure should govern our procedure. The Arab has made a success in Africa more than the other element. His success in Africa is threefold. 1 His Intrepidity. He will go through fire and water and expose himself to innumerable dangers in quest of glory and slaves. No other face of men has ventured to run mankinds fat so certain a return. He trades with the invaders and intermarries in Arab Arabia is a missionary of Mohammed. His Perseverance邦里 matched (1) a war and financed (2) a road.

His Determination In the South Sudan it was Congo to Lesotho Africa while men were crossed awards with Africa but in every instance through the European force was well armed and well organized and the Arab with untrained Africans, the Arab pluck and determination has assisted the elimination of all and left him master of the field while Europe has ignominiously retired. We Negotiate of the Western world can learn a lesson from the Arabian Africa. We need to be attentive to perceive and be determined that Arabian life is bounded by the Arabian home and abroad The Problem itself and its Solution— How Is Africa to Be Redeemed by the Afr can? Wilson come to the problem for him to remember. Let us keep care many heroes us with the facts which may be attained in the one world here at Afta. I for one cannot for the rest of Afta. Let us see if it is by any means from another field of thought we may possibly arrive into another field of thought to purge How Afa is to be led by the Afa in this case is to be a complete of China in all of its kind of going to the past and the present. It is to be a complete of what Enrique let us remember of the beginning of the therefore we find for the simply glamorous history about agree. Why the past is printed in the same way as the present is In previews, Christians for the Vatican learn as they explore the history of history laws. It was asked Ace Saxon slaves in the middle of Iceland which caused Tovegary to commit St Augustine and his mourns to convert England and connect them. It is from the united avenges of Abom and Germany that have spilled upon battles as Newton and St Sophron. Humboldt to die. It is savages who produce a local George. The problems to be solved and the conditions of the case we pretty much the same and as laid in Europe once as they are now in certain parts of Africa. The main point however is how we can get a connecting link with our others across the sea. An engineer in undergoing to throw a burgle across a river or dam, bids him "limit" to eyes and arm in ranging design. Three things may appear, be noted as limiting the design. 1 The nature of the foundation 2 The material at his disposal 3 The condition under which the workmen will have to build If the foundation is good he may build his bridge on piers but here he is limited by the depth he must go for workmen cannot safely live in water beyond a certain depth, nor can pliers he carried up to a height beyond the strength of the foundation to bear the superstructure. If he fixes upon the suspension principle he is again limited as to length of span, for the best material extant will only bear a certain weight, while the engineer must so arrange his design that it may not be strained beyond, but it can safely bear nor must the design be such however theoretically beautiful as to be imperable of execution. Now, in endeavoring to train the continent of Africa, we must keep these conditions constantly in mind. In the case of bridge piers, the main conditions are that they stand in a good foundation, be strong enough for the portion of weight to be buried by it, and that all the ties to the same level. The pier principle is that which we have been pursuing in past decades. We have been planting our lives in our societies, secret orders, fashioned after our opinions. These have been kept without any outlook for the future generations to come. Frequently through precarious finances, foundations have often collapsed or have been unduly loaded for their strength. These societies and secret orders are not of our own making, and in many cases are affiliated with our common oppressors hence gaps are constantly occurring. In my opinion, any society for the redemption of Africa, whether political, social, religious or commercial, which is local and not universal, is likely to prove a conspicuous failure. Others have tried' the suspension principle, but with no better success. The Universal Negro improvement Association is at the present time the only solution of a successful achievement of the Negro advanced thought—a free and redeemed Africa—free from oppression and redeemed from sin and degradation. A tower of strength has been set up in New York, on 125th street on one side of the mighty chasm. At Montgomery Liberia, another has been erected links have been bung out from either side, in the hope of uniting in the center. Everyone knows that in suspension bridges we have not merely the two gigantic chains, joining per Is the problem therefore, to be given up as insincere? I think not. Have we begun to build, and are we unable to finish? Possibly we did not with sufficient care count the cost at first and now some of us are inclined to despair. In our teeth is thrown a challenge by some of our own people as well as those of the alien race. But I stand firm and unflinching in the conviction that Africa must be redeemed by the Africans at home, assisted by those abroad. What part the American and West Indian must play, or what part are they acting now? The part that the American and West Indian Negroes are acting now is already a success. We need a vigorous attack on mental servitude, a missionary preaching, so as to deliver our souls from alien teaching into the glorious liberty of true manhood true religion, so that we may have none of the slavish spirit, and may create enthusiasm for Africa and the African regeneration both religious and secular. The Republic of Liberia was formed by the American and West Indian Negroes and our district duty is to help develop it industrially and otherwise. A successful Liberia means a successful Africa. A successful Africa spells a proper Negro world, cultivated and happy Negro race in a new era in the development of the human race and the Dawn of the Kingdom of God on Earth. Let therefore all of us who belong and are friends of the Negro's advancement in things religious or secular support the movement that best represents our aspirations, by giving our best, whether in time or money, not grudgingly but as a duty. There is no true alms which the ha- can hold He gives nothing but worthless gold Who gives from a sense of duty Let he who gives but a slender mite And gives to that which is out of sight The tread of the all-sustaining bea- Which runs through all and doth a unce The hand cannot grasp the whole his arm The heart outstretches its eager palms For a god with it and makes it sit To the soul that was starving in dark in before It is blessed I am sure him that gives and him the tale Money the Acid Test Our dollars, dollars and nickels can be put into the way for African redemption. An ordinary contribution has become an activity which the contribution, as he sits in his seat, can touch the continent of Africa and do a work where his own footsteps can never be. The true giving of money whether to the church or any association based on the redemption of Africa, is the unseen outpouring of oneself in substance. It is the voluntary bestowing of ones own possessions, expecting nothing in return. With the gift goes one's own good-will, a part of ones very self. In a village of West Africa, a missionary had been called for the burial of a Balu Christian woman. He noticed that when the body was being prepared for the grave something was put into her hand. Finding that it was a piece of money, he asked why it was put there. "To show God that she was a giver," was the prompt reply. He who puts part of himself into his gift enhances its value many fold. "Not what we give but what we share. For the gift without the giver is bare." The Unspeakable Gift for Africa No amount of money given can possibly take the place of giving oneself. Giving yourself to the cause for the regeneration of Africa in church or state, is the highest encomium that could be achieved by the Negro of the Western world. Who gives himself with his alms for this Hime, his hungering neighbor and Probably Jesus never had a coin to give. He seems to have converted every aspect into the form of person service. He carried no statue paints no picture wrote no poem composed on song fashioned no ornament built on celli founded no city erected no utile, but yet he stands in heart, the person of giver, gives the which was priceless to unifiable gift.

To most persons baling wire is simply wire, but to Dixon, looking at all the rusty wire going to waste from bales of hay shipped into Nashville, rusty wire was rat traps. He pulled some wire off a bale, experimented with it and—not a patent. Hardy & Hart. No 100 Fifth Avenue, are negotiating for permission to sell the patent right. Mr Hardy admits the Negro will probably make a lot of money. He is said to have received already an offer of $25,000 in cash, or $5,000 down and 6 cents royalty on every trap sold. Dixon said he patented his trap last July. Just to show how much rats liked it, he said, he entered two in a competition at the Commercial Club in Nashville, and in one night caught twenty-six rats in the big one and fifteen in the small one. Only one other trap entered caught any rats, and that got only one. Dixon said he had other inventions that ought to pay him better than this one. He did not know whether he would keep his job after he got his money, but he would have to do something for he had worked too long to be able to quit.

AT ITS LAST SITTING INDIFFERENCE never translated steam into the driving force for transportation. INDIFFERENCE never changed pig iron into steel and steel into engines; nor perfected radio activity for business and private use. ENTHUSIASM is the great energizer of the human brain. From the time Marcus Garvoy was twenty, he hold an enthusiastic vision of great accomplishments for himself and his race. He believed in himself and his race. Mr. Negro man or woman, do you believe in yourself and your race? You need enthusiasm, vision, imagination. You need all these things in order to visualize the possibility of yourself and your race and just in that proportion you have enthusiasm, vision and imagination now will accomplish to the great accomplishment of your race. ENTHUSIASM, VISION and IMAGINATION are important factors in an individual as well as a race's development, but above all the Dollar must accompany those otherwise we can't get very far. Great prizes always can be won by sustained energy, absolute integrity, immense courage and a great vision. Mr. Negro man and woman show that you possess these qualities by using the coupon below and buying as many shares as you can in the Negro Factories Corporation. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY (Under direction of U. S. Foston) The economic conference to be held at Genoa, Italy, for the purpose of adjusting the economic condition of the world should meet with a healthy public approval—one far more pregnant than that given the Armament Conference of Washington. The Washington conference only served as a curtain riser to the great drama of economic adjustment, a natural sequence of war. Every race and nation's to be an actor in this great industrial drama, and is expected to play well its part. The four hundred million Negroes of the world who bertoriosa had been discounted in the economic world, have been given a splendid opportunity to become real economic actors in this world's readjustment. Prior to the late world's war, economic environments rendered the Negro an economic slave, he was devoid of business vision initiative and capital which are essential to successfully operate business. The late world's war changed the order of things for the Negro, it opened to him factories, shops, laboratories travel and finance, the possession and knowledge of which are essential requisites for economic competition. The Negro must become conscious of the fact that these avenues were not limited to him because of any humanitarian an feeling of altruism on the part of that group of humanity who had in the past kept him an economic slave but because the rest of humanity found it essential for its existence to open those avenues to him. With a knowledge of this fact, the Negro should use to an advantage, his war acquired dowry in advancing his cause during this period of economic realization. He should organize his money, his knowledge of shops and factory and experience of travel in freeing himself economically. In order to do this the Negro must control in a measure of the instruments of production and transportation, i.e. forms, factories, stores, banks, steamships, etc. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, mindful of these facts is formulating a program for 1922 that will ultimately free the Negro economically. In this program, the association plans to stabilize a number of sound industries in every city where there is a division, not stopping there but carrying its program into the rural districts organizing every farmer and assisting him in controlling the commodity that he produces. Through our chain grocery and commission merchant system, the farmer will be able to raise and sell his produce without sharing his profits with the unscrupulous agents with whom he is compelled to deal at present. Our chain grocery and commission merchant system is already in vogue, only last week we received a car of nice sweet potatoes from Georgia and a shipment of oranges and grapefruits from Florida which we disposed of in New York, netting the producers and the association neat profits. (1) In pursuance of this program the department of labor and industry of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has circulated its rural membership in the interest of this work, and we are being flooded with correspondence, samples of products, etc. Any farmer who would like to cooperate with us in this particular is requested to correspond with the minister of labor and industry 66 West 135th street, New York City, N.Y.

W., which we created in 1920—the "West Indian News Nation." We have, therefore, promised himself when the news notes again soon. But, of course, it will not be possible to make them as elaborate as in 1920—the difference in scope corresponding highly to the difference between Editor and Contributing Editor. But we will do the best we can under the circumstances, and trust that those who want to keep in touch with the shift and current of events in that interesting corner of the world will enjoy our summaries and comments. From time to time we shall try to continue our reviews of the books on the Negro which are constantly appearing, in order that Negro readers may keep in touch with the extensive literature of information and interpretation on that subject. But the news notice inevitably entail the time and space which can be given to the book reviews. In face of the efforts now being made by the 1838 Street Library we encourage the reading of such books we should like to continue our community help in that direction. To meet the problem thus presented we are insulting on Sunday nights at Lafayette Hall a brief oral review and discussion of new books on the Negro. The list for the next few weeks will include Mr. Ferris "The African Abroad," Rene Maran's "Hatouala," Dr. Woodson's "The History of the Negro Church" and Mr. Brawley's "Social History of the American Negro." These reviews and discussions will be in addition to the regular lecture forum. Next week, before starting in on the W. I. News Note, we shall review Van Loon's "The Story of Mankind," a history of civilization in which the Africans contribution receives generous acknowledgment. This week we present an open letters to Arthur Brisbane in which Mr. J. A. Rogera, the author of "Superman to Man," tears off the mark of pretended knowledge and fairsms behind which the great Heart editor has been hiding his ugly race prejudice. We think that it will add to the enjoyment of our readers. II. II. AN OPEN LETTER TO-ARTHUR BRISBANE Mr. Arthur Bristane, care of New York American. Dear Mr. Bristane: Let me say Frankly that I think your editorial in today's American on the Negro is most sophistic and uniformed, shopping little if any of that current reasoning and prison characteristic of your writ- ing. I will attempt to show you how blessed you are on this subject, whether you know it or not. You quite a great naturalist to say: "The difference between a low type of African savage and a highly developed white man is greater than the difference between that savage and a blade of grass." Now, according to current scientific knowledge, there is a difference of millions of years in evultions between a blade of grass and a protochin, the lowest form of animal life. Then between the protozoan and the lowest type of man we are told that there is another period of time so vast that it is impossible for the 1 man mind to comprehend it. On the other hand, it is matter of the most common knowledge that "vagagen" white or black, have in two or three generations, sometimes one, become leading offsprings of great nations. You will probably recall how pesalisimically both Clears and Cicero spoke of the ancient nations, whose descendants have later dominated the world. The comparison made by your "great naturalist" is unidentifiable, far inflected and ridiculous in the grime. This you would have greatly perceived it, instead of quoting the opinion so guiltily, you had stopped to walt it or to visualize it. A great naturalist! A great miscompoop! I think, I notice that this is a favorite quotation of yours. You always say "great naturalist" or "great scientist." However, for the benefit of your readers, won't you give his name at some as I said, the comparapm made by your authority is rhythique. Let us assume, however, that he had never heard of any other group beside the European. Limit his activities to England. Could he not have applied to engraved statements with equal powers to England—between the Lords and Wills and those unprofitable creatures in the London alms? Did not your great nationalist have used his comparison in estimating the distances between white men and white men here in New York, with all the cultural advantages? Consider the marriages gap between even a third-blank like Woodrow Wilson and a Kentucky mountainside, or certain whites living in communities in Clinton and Franklin counties, New York, or Woodburn county, Corn. The latter, while living in one of the most advanced countries of the world, are the ones to hate the more primitive ones that are the Mounties for South Africa. I do not further and say that the current gap between all well-abled societies and a poor large number of whites is community in favour of the more backward because on the more advanced societies the gap between the more CINCINNATI DIVISION 146 MEETINGS EXTRAORDINARY TO BE ADDRESSED BY H. E. J. W. H. EASON, American Leader RT. HON. FRED A. TOITE, Secretary General AT EMERY AUDITORIUM Canal and Walnut Streets ON Sunday, Feb. 19, at 3 P. M. and 8 P. M. AND AT LIBERTY HALL 330 George Street On Feb. 20, 21, and 22, at 8 P. M. fence Dunbar are superior to at least 90 per cent. of white Americana. Some Negroes are superior to most white men all the time. Delude yourself, or pear and distort the facts as you will. Further, they will be so regarded by most intelligent white men outside of the United States, and some few within. The Negro in America has advanced further in sixty years than the white peasantry of Europe has in a thousand. I refer you to Booker T. Washington's "The Man Farthest Down," or to Booth's "In Darkest England." You also spoke of a difference in skulls that a five-year-old child could see to back up your argument of inferiority. Why, certainly, there are differences in skulls. No two objects in the world are alike, hence it is clear that the mere fact of difference does not imply inferiority. Take any group of brothers and the shape of their skulls will be found to be different. Why should all skulls be alike? You drive me to ask this question since your complaint of differences suggests that if you had things your own way you would have all skulls cast in the same mould. Inferiority or superiority based on the shape and even the size of skulls is a theory that has been long exploded. You, yourself, str. should appreciate the weakness of an argument of inferiority based on cranial differences since your own cranialological imperfections would, according to your own theory, easily put you in the inferior class. Your own head, judging by its remarkable shape, is still in the focal stage of evolution, and hence below that of the African "savage" you mentioned. I have been reading your editorials continuously for fifteen years. I flatter myself that I have acquired in consequence a pretty accurate gauge of your intellectual power, hence I speak from knowledge when I say that here in Harlem is a full-blooded Negro, Hubert Harrison, who, with all your great breadth of learning and white man's chances, could outmatch you. I speak without so-called "race pride." In all my arguments I consciously strive for fair play and exactness of thought, recognizing no differences whatever between man and man, race and race, in my writings. On this matter of skulls permit me to refer you to an address delivered by President Wilder of Cornell University to the National Negro Conference in 1909, entitled "The Brain of the American Negro." It has been published in the report of the conference. You will find thoroughly punctured therein just such an argument as yours. You spoke of President Harding and indorsed his doctrine of "internal incapable difference." In 1011 most of the leading anthropologists of the world—men such as Von Luschan, Boas, Finot, Johnston, Spiller, Zamenhof—not in a Universal Races Congress in London. The consensus of opinion of that most learned body was that all the varieties of mankind, commonly called races, "are essentially equal in intellect, enterprise, morality and physique." Existing differences, that body agreed, were caused by environment, and hence subject to change by environment. The report of this congress has been published by Gustav Spiller and may be had at any leading library. You will perceive how diametrically opposed is the opinion of the greatest exports of your own race to your theories and those of President Harding. I am firmly convinced that if President Harding had spoken more as a reasoning human being and less as a politician he would not have given utterance to such nonsense. Eternal incapable differences! What is eternity? Innumerable billions and billions of years, a period the human mind is absolutely incapable of comprehending. To predict that any condition whatsoever will last eternally is to reveal oneself as a mere mouther of words, and most certainly as having a weak spot somewhere in one's mentality. There are no "eternal differences" between "noses" of mankind. It is a matter of the most elementary knowledge that the so-called races of the human race have been blending and disappearing one into the other from time immemorial to the present to form new varieties. There are no fired differences, except perhaps that of sex. I refer to the primary sexual characters, and even then, as you know, certain of their functions intrude on the other; that is there is an intermediate sex, or even sex. The earth on which we live is a unit floating freely in space, hence every particle of matter and mentality on it is related to the others as each cell in one's body is related to every other cell. President Harding, as I said, was "alking politics, not common sense." Has he forgotten that it was possible for his opponents to accuse him of having "Negro" blood—a statement that millions of Americans believe to be true? Ignorance is pardonable among the poor. Among the well-to-do it is a crime, nothing loa. Books on modern anthropology by white writers as Surgi, Ripley, Boas may be purchased at from one to five dollars a piece or had for nothing at the libraries. I am supposing that your shortcomings in anthropology are due to a lack of acquaintance with the proper authorities, rather than the only other reason—a catering to the racial prejudices of your readers. selection, Mr. Goo, Cargill and orchestra; vocal solo, Miss Albertina Holland; message of the president, Clandrine R.

When prominent men like yourself and President Harding talk on anthropology and bend such knowledge of it as you may or may not possess to serve racial or political bias, the harm you do is incalculable. The trend of evolution is toward a breaking down of racial and religious hostility, toward a better understanding among all men. Every thinker who is wise will sow thoughts in that direction, not in the other. The white citizens of this nation once killed one another by the tens of thousands in a quarrel over the Negro. They may do so again if influential white men do not cease giving encouragement to the lawless ones among you. The doctrine of "external differences" when promulgated by men like you and President Hailings is a direct encouragement to the lyncher, race rioter and the exploiter of labor, black and white. Why the anxiety to prove others inferior and different? So that they can the more effectively be exploited. One of the easiest things to start anywhere in America at any time is a race riot.

If it is your birthday you must be very careful to safeguard your health for the ensuing year. He carefieln in your business also. If you are not autumn you are sure to meet with difficult. A child born on this day should be trained to be trustful of a little include as its tenancies will be otherwise in- died. If doing so you may save it from a doubtful career. Thursday, February 2—You have a time to make good in your business today. Speculate and use your judg- ment. The pancreatic aspects are good make much of them If it is your birthday and you are young, your love affairs are very promising. Old people should safeguard their health and business. A child born on this day will be inclined to be studious but rash in judgment, affectionate but rather unfortunate. Friday, February 3--The early part of the day is doubtful and failure threatens your business ventures, but towards night it is a little better. It is better to keep quiet. If it is your birthday it is not a very fortunate one so to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Guard your health. A child born on this day will be intelligent, but inclined to be wasful, a good counsellor, but poor in the management of its own affairs. Saturday February 4—This day is a favorable one. As a rule I never en courage a nation on Saturday. This day of the week is governed by Saturn and should really be a day of rest and charitable acts. The planetary aspects are good, but should not be wontonly applied. If it is your birthday it is a good one. You may make some changes of travel this year but it will be all for the better. A child born on this day has a successful future before it especially a female but inclined to may wintness. Sunday February 6—It is temporarily fortunate that this day is the one our civilization sets apart for rest for it is a very poor business day as in! cated by the stara. Rest yourself. If it is your birthday it is not a good one as forecast by the stara. Don't go to law if you can avoid it and try and keep as far away as you can from quarrels or disputes of any kind. A female child born this day may be very successful in matrimonial affairs as everything "cuts in her favor," but for a male child it looks tough throughout. Let this information serve as a safeguard against danger. Monday, February 6—The influences today are of such a nature that to employ the mind steadily at some vocation is about the best thing to do. Work, work, work. Do not speculate, the chances for success are very poor. If it is your birthday a successful year is predicted for you if you are an agriculturist or a person of quiet habits. It is good for aged persons also but clerks and professional men may expect reverses in business. A child born on this day comes into the world with the influences against him. Success can come only through a hard struggle. Tuesday, February 7—This is a very good day. The influences in the celestial regions are in perfect harmony and the terrestrial effects must be the same. It is especially favorable for two affairs and those who seek employment. If it is your birthday you are very fortunate. Success is promised you for the year in your business and domestic affairs. If single you may marry. A child born on this day will have a very generous nature. A successful life is the forecast. An affectionate person who will succeed in their love affairs especially if a female.

GREAT INDUSTRIAL PLANTS AND INSTITUTIONS All the Negro people of the United States of America, the West Indian, South Central America and Canada should unite their forces and support the Universal Improvement Association's Construction Loan for the building up of Liberia so that the Negro people of the United States of America can help him whether he is Liberia, the West Indies or any other part of the world.

HAYNES SELECTED SECRETARY OF RACE RELATIONS COMMITTEE The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, announces the selection of Dr. George E. Haynes, as one of its secretaries, to promote the work of its new Commission on the Church and Race Relations. Dr. Haynes comes to the work of the new commission after fourteen years of experience in promoting work for Negro welfare and co-operative relations between the races. He was formerly professor of economics and sociology at Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, and was the founder and first executive of the National League on Urban Conditions. During the war he served the U. S. Department of Labor as adviser on matters relating to Negro workers and their relations to white workers and employees—being known as the director of economics at the department. In this capacity he came in contact with employers and Negro workers, North and South, and received much commendation from many employers, the white and Negro citizens, and the press for the work accomplished. His report on "The Negro at Work During the War and Reconstruction," is the best work on the Negro in industry of the period. He is well-known in church work, because of his work for inter-racial co-operation through church channels. He was formerly a secretary of the International Committee of the Y M. G. A. and has been a worker for a number of years in federation activities of the white and Negro churches. Dr Haynes has thorough educational preparation for his work, being a graduate of Fisk University, Nashville, Penn, and having received his Master of Arts degree from Yale University and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Columbia University. He is well-known as a social worker and writer on conditions among Negroes because of his connection in former years with the Bureau of Social Research and his completion of studies at the New York School of Philanthropy, and the authorship of books, pamphlets, and magazine articles on Negro life and race relations. He has wide connections with the Negro churchmen of the country because of his activities among them during part years The Commission on the Church and Race Relations was formed by the Federal Council of Churches last year. Among its members are such leading churchmen and citizens as Mrs. Mary Bethune, Miso Nanaile Burroughs, Bishop N. C. Cleaves, Bishop George C. Glement, Prof. John R. Hawkins, Bishop W. H. Heard, Dr. John Hope, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, Bishop R. E. Jones, Rev J. Garland Penn, Bishop C. H. Phillips, Bishop C. S. Smith, Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Rev. C. H. Tobias and Dr. A. M. Townsend. At its first meeting, held in Washington last summer, the Commission announced as it purposes the following: 1. To assert the sufficiency of Christianity as the solution of race relations in America and the duty of the currymen and all their organizations to give the most careful attention to this question. 2. To provide a central cleaning house and meeting place for the churches and for all Christian agencies dealing with the relation of the white and Negro roads and to encourage and support their activities along this line. 3. To promote mutual confidence and acquaintance, both nationally and locally, between the white and Negro churches, especially by State and local conferences between white and Negro ministers, Christian educators and other leaders, for the consideration of their common problems. 4. To arry the sentiment of the Christian churches against mob violence and to enlist their thoroughgoing support in a special program of education on the subject for a period of at least two years. 5. To secure and distribute accurate knowledge of the facts regarding racial relations and racial attitudes in general and regarding particular situations that may be under discussion from time to time. 6. To develop a public conscience which will secure in the Negro equitable provision for education, health housing, recreation and all other aspects of community welfare 7. To encourage efforts for the welfare of Negro workers and the improvements of relations between employers, Negro workers and white workers. 8. To make more widely known in the churches the work and principles of the Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, and especially to support its efforts to establish local inter-racial committees. 9. To secure the presentation of the problem of race relations and of the Christian solution by white and Negro speakers at as many church gatherings as possible throughout the country. The chairman of the Federal Council commission is Mr. John J. Eagan of Atlanta, president of the American Iron Pipe Company and also chairman of the Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, and Mr. Will W. Alexander of that body is to be associated an one of the secretaries of the Federal Council. The Federal Council's announcement of the formation of its commission last summer was received with greatcommendation by both the white and Negro press. Since that time its plans have been developing and the selection as secretary of its commission of a worker and churchman so well known among white and Black, North and South, given great powers of substantial offices in this effort to bring the great influence of the Christian Church to bear upon the welfare of Negroes and the co-operative relations of the races. OFFICE FORUM QUESTION: Which policy do you think is more effective—Ghandis or DeValera's? Answers DeValera's, of course, for it is direct and decisive, and works when all other means fail. It is very important, however, in comparing and contrasting the policies of these two figures to remember the conditions under which each man operates. After 750 years of continuous struggle, with Ireland's case properly laid before the entire world, and the Irish people thoroughly convinced in the meantime, that in spite of their patience, in spite of world sympathy and the sacrifices of their patriots and martyrs, the alien intruder was still bent on exploiting them, DeValera could safely resort to arms and reckon upon a determined Ireland to follow him. Ghandi's non-operative plan is the preliminary to the final struggle, for tyrants would never yield up land, gold and cheap labor without a final struggle, at the same time unifying Brahmin and Parsee, Mohammedan and Hindoo, thus eliminating the caste or the "divide and "rule" system used by intriguing and exploiting nations in order to oppress weaker peoples. CHARLES A. ADAMS. Having given equal thought to the methods adopted by DeValera and Ghandi for the liberty of Ireland and India respectively, I decide in favor of the latter. There is a proverb which says "There are many ways of killing a dog besides hanging him" Ghandi is showing to the world that "Might" is not the only weapon that can subdue the greatest tyrant, though it may be quicker, and that is questionable. Devalera "opened fire by brute force, he pushed forward the Irish demands for Liberty, the world rejoices to see the success achieved, but what would be the consequences if England had resorted to arms and fatly refused to consider their demands? Ireland would be a ruined country for many decades or generations, valuable lives sacrificed, economic and industrial conditions made unbearable (which they very high are now) and the breach between England and Ireland made wider than ever before. Ghandi in his quiet "peaceful" way is working out the salvation of his race. He cannot be charged with any offense against 'King or Country,' no riot act can be read, no marital law proclaimed, just daily his policy is eating into the core of British rule and over-lordship and though it may take a longer time to Get over, it must eventually bring the desired results. When England cannot sell her manu-goods India cannot collect revenue the government is not what is she going to do? Murder the entire population or imprison them or what? She had better "pack up and skip." C HENDRICKS POWELL The De Valera policy is more effective for a people who are striving out to gain freedom and liberty. The world today respects force. In 1905 Ireland adopted a part of the Ghanda's tactics—that is, the boycott against British goods—but they soon realized that it was not effective enough, and in 1914 they organized the Easter Rebellion. That was not organized so much because they expected success, but they knew that the British in suppressing it would use brutal methods, which would arouse the sympathy of the entire world and further organize the Irish people. The more injustice done towards a race of people the more they will come together. Guerrilla warfare well organized is a match for well organized armies. The more brutal the better. It always strikes terror into the hearts of veteran troops. The Negro in striking out for freedom has several examples in history from others who introduced a system in warfare unknown to the world, though there are some Negroes who are aware of that system, which is most brutal but nevertheless brings quicker results. I am not interested in discuss in The Negro World that point, but this I will say: The world respects brute force, and two can play the same game. Hence I believe in the policy of De Valera. X. Y. Z To choose between the methods of De Valora and Ghandi is to array oneself with violence or with peace. Violence has wrung from, the unwilling hands of a United British Government an Irish Free State. The peaceful program of that pious revolutionist has created a stir in every quarter of India and aroused the sympathetic attention of a civilized world. To what end this non-co-operative movement of Ghandi will reach taxes the most hopeful admirer. Free Ireland brings to memory pillage, death and desolation Ireland resisted at every step. Ireland refused compromise. Yet out of this gant surfacing the lilies the proud head of succession free! India, what of her? Overnight there has arisen that monious leader with his non-co-operative maniac there is no ambuscade of British soldiers there is no attack upon the British officials, there is no pillage of British property, just a retusal to accept anything British. This teaching has attracted the masses to an undreamed extent. Acting on this program India has produced the strongest opponent to British rule imaginable. The divine right of revocation has always resided in the poor to the pla. And the only known successful method of revolution recorded in history is force. But Gandhi has developed for the first time a revolt of such magnitude by means of peaceful measure. Gandhi or De Valera is peace or violence. I select peace. THE QUILL OF IRON. It is inconceivable that any one should consider the Gandhi policy of non-co-operation as the final means by which to rid his country of the blood-sucking taints of alien rule. Non-co-operation is just a stage in the development of the final and ultimate policy. What is one man's meat is another man's poison, tells the whole story of the difference between the policies of Gandhi in its present stage of development and of De Valera's of a few months ago. It is vitally important to bear in mind the intellectual advancement of the masses as a conditional phase to their fitness or undiness for such form of government. Where the masses have sufficiently advanced intellectually as to provide material among themselves fit for election to political positions, and to be able to intelligently select the best from among the available material to promote and preserve their interest, then a democratic republic is the most congenial form of government. There seems to be no government in existence today that offers equal opportunity to the masses as well as the classes. Since money has become the main standard of value in life, it is hard to find equality of opportunity being offered the citizens of any country, except on paper. The power of money as represented by capital has become a WHICH FORM OF HENT. IS BEST A OR DEMOCRACY MONARCHY IS About a week or so ago in a column of the Northern section under the Forum, an article was Jay" on "What Form of In answer Mr. G. E. C. republican form and form in brief, by declaring democracy is best fitted that is a government for the people and by this form is also doubt already a failure. The admitted that the above With the great mass of Irish people in sympathy, actively and passively with a free Ireland, and assured of and drawing from the moral and financial support of the patriots in the United States, it was quite the right thing under the circumstances for the Irish to adopt the policy of force a la guerrilla. The time is coming when Gandhi's policy will take on, must take on all the elements of force (not necessarily guerrilla, since the Indians in India far outnumber their oppressors) that pushed the De Valora policy "over the top". For in the final analysis force must be used to crush force. EUSTON MATHEWS. I think De Valera's tactics more effective. The policy of non-co-operation as demonstrated by Gandhi is very potent and is surprising the world by reason of its present effectiveness, but will it not be halted short of its objective? Will it last, can it last? I think not. It seems to me that, in the last resort, when Gandhi's pacifism runs up against Anglo-Baxon militarism, non-co-operation must be sacrificed on the altar of expediency or perish. If Gandhi can teach a people to the other cheek* then he will succeed. If he cannot—and I doubt whether any one can—the non-co-operation will only take him part of his journey. Because De Valera succeeded Gandhi will fail. The world will applaud Gandhi-ism, but leave it, to die in the cold. CYNICUS. Question: What form of government affords equal opportunity to the masses as well as the classes? Answer. In treating the subject, "What form of government do you think gives equal opportunity to the masses as well as to the class?" I have tried to free my mind from such bias and prejudices that are characteristic of the environment under which I was roared. In doing so I have placed on both sides of the equation the advantages and disadvantages that I have learned from the equation, I find the advantages favoring the democratic or republican form of government with the limited monarchy form of close rival. My conclusion gives the republican form of government these advantages: First, a democratic government is one of, for and by the people. Such a form of government gives expression to individualism; an expression that must have play—that is the interest of all of the people is to be protected and advanced. A democratic form of government takes form in the mind and soul of each individual that constitutes that government, and these channels constitute the only mediums through which the best that is within an individual can be brought out. Secondly, in a democratic form of government, with all things equal, there is found an interest, a progress, a patriotism and contentment that is lasting. These conditions obtain because they have been brought about by suffrage and not by coercion or force. The universal sentiment following the late world war favoring self-determination is concrete evidence favoring the democratic form of government. There can't be advanced a sound argument favoring the divine rule of kings or the right of a few to rule for all. Any form of government that fails to give expression to individualism renders a man less than a man because it robs him of a free exercise of the intellect the sensibility and the will—the faculties that constitute a man N. B POSTON. I know of none. So long as humanity worships at the shrine of beauty, wealth and power—and it shall forever bow before the goddesses—there is going to be privileged class. Even in heaven the seat of justice and wisdom, there is among the angels a Gabriel—an archangel, who holds his post from time immemorial. Let us therefore, examine the three forms of governments—the monarchial, the republican, and the socialistic, and see which offers the greatest opportunities to the masses. The Monarchial: Mankind in general is pretty well tired of this "king business." For no man should be "eradled and rocked and daudled" into a ruler. He should first prove his fitness to rule. The Republican. It must be a source of great comfort to even the poorest lad in the land to know that he has a chance some day, by majority vote, to preside over the destiny of his country. The Socialist: Like the millinium, it has a name, but not a "local habitation." Maybe if I were some preferred "Greek Catholic," or, if under some sweet hypnotic spell, or a strong narcotic woe, I would be better able to describe the blessings mankind enjoy when he who would not work and who who would usually can weep the same woe. Though it might be a great thing to take flights of imagination, I prefer to plant my feet on terra firma, so I would not be able to experience the ecstasies of dwelling in the socialist state. In considering the form of government that offers equal opportunities it is vitally important to bear in mind the intellectual advancement of the masses as a conditional phase to their fitness or unfitness for such form of government. Where the masses have sufficiently advanced intellectually as to provide material among themselves fit for election to political positions, and to be able to intelligently select the best from among the available material to promote and preserve their interest, then a democratic republic is the most congenial form of government. There seems to be no government in existence today that offers equal opportunity to the masses as well as the classes. Since money has become the main standard of value in life, it is hard to find equality of opportunity being offered the citizens of any country, except on paper. The power of money as represented by capital has become a most destructive force aimed at the subjugation of the aspirations of the masses. Bolshevism seeks to cure this evil, but it is still in its experimental stage of development. We of the Negro race who hope, plan and live for the realisation of an independent national life shall watch most attentively the struggle between capital and labor, and between bolshevism, democracies and monarchies. When ready for our new life we may have found "the happy medium." EUSTON R. MATHEWS. The tendency of all governments is toward democracy, but a true democracy presupposes a sufficient intelligence of its subjects to comprehend the duties of citizenship. Wherever this intelligence is lacking, a limited monarchy has proven preferable; hence the masses of the people have reached their greatest state of happiness under a limited monarchy. ROBERT L. POSTON. THE OLD FLAG NEVER TOUCHED THE GROUND THE OLD FLAG NEVER TOUCHED THE GROUND By BRUCE-"GRIT" The following beautiful poem is from the pen of Bruce "Grit," and was originally written for the Colored American, and is entitled "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground." The verses are a tribute to the brave Sergent William H Carney, who carried the colors of the 64th Massachusetts Regiment of Colored Volunteers to the top of Fort Wagner under a most deadly fire of howitzers and hand-grenade. Sergent Carnay's matchless courage and brave deed have been told in story and song before, but never with fuller meaning than Bruce "Grit" has given to the event in his poem. E. Z. COOPER. General, I bring you our standard, just as 'twas given to me. Without a stain on its folds, as you may plainly see. Twas borne aloft in honor where'er our troops were found. And, General, our grand old banner, it never touched the ground. Into the thick of the fight, wherever danger was. The Stars and Stripes were there displayed to cheer our gallant boys. It spurred them on to victory, they brought the enemy down. With unerring aim, when they saw the flag that did not touch the ground. It was the emblem of our stripes, though we fought to save it then. It now should guarantee our rights, since we are all free men But, but to say, this grand old flag, in all the country 'round Affords us no protection, though we kept it from the ground. Our kinsmen in that bloody strife with desperation fought To save the nation from defeat, and with their blood they bought The precious boon of liberty whil soon began to dawn, When Old Glory waved in triumph and never touched the ground. We knew that God was on our side and shaped our destiny. And we bravely fought your battles then, and struggled to be free; We fought as men never fought before, the enemies who scorned The black man with the Stars and Stripes that never touched the ground. EDWARD TUCKER KILLED BY ANDREW MOSBY NEWARK, N. J. Jan 21 - Edward Tucker of the U A Legions and member of the Newark division of the U N I A and A. C. L. was shot in his poolroom on Tuesday, January 10 by Andrew Mosby of 29 Durand street, Newark, N. J. The trouble began some time ago, when Mosby loaded him his motorcycle, which was damaged in a collision with an automobile. Sergeant Tucker was willing to pay the damages, and advanced $18 on account, when he heard that Mosby had collected for the accident from an insurance company. Tucker then said he would not pay any more. Mosby went to see him at his pool-room and asked him for money. Tucker told him he did not have any. Mosby then asked him to lend him a quarter. This Tucker refused to do and Mosby pulled out his revolver and shot him, saying since he refused to lend him a meansy quarter he'll get even with him.

LIMITED NONARCHY IS THE BEST About a week or so ago there appeared in a column of the Negro World editorial section under the caption, "Office Forum," an article written by "The Jay" on "What Form of Government?" In answer Mr. G. E. Carter suggests a republican form and gives his reasons in brief, by declaring that a pure democracy is best fitted for use of both that is, a government of the people, for the people and by the people; but this form is also doubtful, making it already a failure. The author himself admitted that the above form of government exists only in letter and not in reality, proving that democracy as we know it is a force and has proven a failure even among the most enlightened and advanced nations of the world. The other gentleman, Mr. X. Y. Z, seems to think that an autocratic or limited monarchial form of government is best for the masses, but which of these two forms would more ably guarantee our progress, therefore benevolently question the question therefore arises on which, autocracy or mild monarchy. Now let us take into consideration the arguments surrendered by the author on Haytil, Liberia, China and the rest of them who are sick of the palay, the experiment of the two-edged cult, though it seems there are signs of recovery and they might yet escape its grip and rise up and walk. Now, we know the corrupt and wretched folly of an autocracy, and the Negroes, like any other people in this modern and enlightened age, are fighting with the rest of enlightened and awakened humanity against this very thing, autocracy, tyranny, etc. Therefore one can readily see that that also would be a failure even worse than the form of governmental system that is practiced in the above-monitored countries. I say autocracy would be a worse failure because advanced blacks would never stand for an autocrat of all Negroes. No, not in this enlightened agel What then, limited monarchy? Yes; limited monarchy is the only kind of government I know that will benefit us, with the legislative authority vested in a parliament of the people, not in any one man. The nation, however, would be forced to obey constitution- ruling of its chief or his first minister, once they would be only carrying out the desire of the nation through parliament under this system. In a limited monarchy we would have the right to express our opinions through free speech and the freedom of the press. Now let us examine autocracy and democracy a little and one will quickly see the evil that lurks in either. It does not take an eagles eye to detect the ever-growing evil that lies in the extremity o' both. Under the former system, the head of the dynasty would automatically clothe himself with power which he would think was his divine right, when truly the Divine Himself would frown at his unjust usurpation. This individual, as long as human nature remains as it is, could not help but see things in a selfish way. Free speech would be an offense freedom of the press would be muzzled and to attempt to rear the muzzle of would be an act of treason, not against the nation but against the divine right of the autocrat of all Negroes. And let this autocrat once get it in his head to make war, then war we must have, irrespective of the wishes of the nation. We couldn't help ourselves; it would be war one way or the other. Let him be a selfish, disgruntled, greedy, wicked autocrat, and the nation would always be embroiled one way or another and by a few strokes of the pen, if he be so chooses, he could gamble, betrayry soil outright the sovereignty of the nation; so we would find ourselves facing two extremes, the devil and the deep blue sea. On the other hand let us examine the ever-increasing evil that we would have to reckon with under a democracy, and we will soon find out that this would be even worse than the former. Let us agree that the constitution would set forth the principal and basic laws of the nation; and that we would have a Congress and the Congress would have the power to see to its enforcement and that there would be unlimited freedom of speech and of the press, etc. and we would find out that because of this unlimited freedom in itself, we would have to take into consideration the ideas and ideals of certain people who pull the strings in the certain parts of the nation, and we now would be brought to face the folly of the thing. To be fair, since it is a democracy we would have to accuse to their de- mandate since these representatives in Congress would form, the preemptive bills and perhaps win out, now we would be forced to give them the right to make certain laws to suit themselves, something like state rights, and there you are, frotitation, e. government within a government. Pretty soon, now we would find ourselves unstable, the central government not being able because of this very system of democracy to preserve law and order, hence, we find, lets say not law, in the new, Washington, burning and sabotage in new Dixie, and democracy gone up upon law and order in Cambridge and in Candam. Now we receive a note, the Central Government from a foreign power, through its ambassador, informing us of its government's good intention, etc., toward us, but it goes on to say that its government is alarmed at the conditions of affaire and is worried over the safety of its nationality, and then the note ends with a demand and a threat. There you are; we would be up against it within and without, all because of this form of government. Had there been a limited monarchy there could be no such trouble. In the first place there would be one law for all, and it would be carried out from Dan to Bathanea, but a great evil is yet ahead, a presidential election is to take place. Conklin, a great politician, is nominated by the great Democratic party and Cattin, a military genius, is opposing him on the Republican ticket. The crafty Coklin wins because of the squandering of an unlimited sum, the Republican party is not satisfied, inspired by their military leader, they defy the Democratic party, and before we know it we are in the grip of a blood revolution which seems inevitable. The Democratic party is about to triumph because of the preponderance of finance at its disposal. The Republican party is in a desperate strait for money to carry out the war successfully. This finance is always lurking around. Through foreign agents the Republican party gladly accepts an enormous sum from these foreign agents which they promise to pay through concessions of oil lands, etc. They won the revolution, but the Democratic party and the nation soon discover that concessions were granted to a foreign government unconstitutionally and would refuse to recognize their claim. We are now again on the verge of another bloody war even among ourselves and with a foreign power, and all of this and more would contour us in a democracy, but surely we can shun and steer clearly ahead of these evils under a limited monarchy. Now let the pen of the intellectual fly on the question; let us not be biased but give due consideration to the arguments of the autocrats, to the contensions of the democrats, to the advocates of socialism, and to the supporters of limited monarchism, and I feel quite confident that the whole thing is properly surveyed, limited mild monarchy will be considered.

The musicians last night were lured to the outskirts of the city and beaten by a gang of men, who the orchestra members were warned to leave. Miami within twenty-four hours. Some of their instruments were destroyed. The police claim to be without information as to the identity of any member of the party issuing the warriors. Several complaints, it was reported, had been made to the police that the Negroes had not conducted themselves in accordance with Southern customs, had sought to mingle with white people in this public parade and at public entertainments, and that the leader of the orchestra on one occasion had left his place with the orchestra and stepped on the floor to direct a new dance. The Columbus orchestra was the only band of Negro musicians employed in the white section of the city. The hotel has telegraphed for a white orchestra to take their place. WHY PAY MORE?

CLOSER & FILM MACHINE Dear Sir Warner, Please see the advertisement Dr. OLLEY SMITH a CHURCH, REPRESENTATIVES CONSIDER EACE ISSUE At the recent annual meeting of the Federal Council of American Churches, which convened in Chicago on December 24, one of the most important questions raised was that of inter-racial relations. The session of the subject was in staff a concrete embodiment of the Christian ideals. On the same platform were heard four leaders from the heart of the South, two white and two black, seeing the question of race relations from a Christian and common point of view. "We never knew," said ev W. W. Alexander and John J. Engan, of Atlanta, "how much racial prejudice and friction were due to lack of understanding if the Negro people, until we began to work with, Bishop Robert E. Johnson and a sea other Negro leaders in the South. Nor did we ever realize before how much the Negro race has to contribute to the richness of our national life." "We never knew," replied Bishop; Robert E. Jones, of New Orleans, the first Negro to become a bishop, a full standing in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Bishop George C. Cuezant, of Louisville, of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, "these there were in the whole world—white man so fair, so just, so courteous, so devoted to true democracy, as we found certain white leaders to be when once we began to work with them." And Mrs. Luke Johnson, of Griffin, Co., a member of one of the old aristocrat families of the South, voiced, with deep feeling, the Christian's equated for justice for Negro women. All the speakers, black and white, agreed that the Christian church, the possessor of the Gospel of human brotherhood, has the supreme opportunity and responsibility for bringing about justice and better feeling in race relations. Said one white speaker: "The churches must unitedly undertake to combat race prejudice in America. They must see to it that race distinctions do not become race discriminations. A man must be judged by his character and his usefulness, not by race. The churches can so give to the nation the real facts regarding the racial situation that misunderstanding and prejudice will largely disappear. Many intelligent people throughout the nation believe that lynching is for one crime only, and so condone this great national sin. But figures for the last ten years will show that less than one-third of the lynchings were for this crime. "No man can make me hate him," declared, Bishop Robert E. Jones, in a dramatic moment, "nor will I lose heart, now, that I have discovered that there are white men who are working as hard as I to secure justice for the Negro, and that the church is beginning to awake to its responsibility." A practical program of concrete activities for the churches was proposed, and it was urged that all the churches, colored and white, unite in promoting conferences for better understanding, in helping to form local inter-racial committees to work for racial justice and good will, and in a campaign of education concerning the Christian solution of the race problem. HAITS DELEGATE TO HAGUE DENOUNCES AMERICAN INVASION The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, recently made public a statement by M. Florre Hudcourt, Halti's delegate to the second Hagus conference and former head of the Bar Association in Halti's capital city, Port au Prince. M. Hudcourt, who is in New York on his way to Washington to make additional protest to the United States Senate against American occupation of his country, made the following statement: "In my capacity as Haitian delegate to the second conference at the Hague, where I signed all the conventions there adopted, I am obliged to protest against the hard faith of the American Government, which, under pressure of financiers and business man, decided to invade Haitian territory and to destroy our national independence. Our independence, like that of America, was commanded at the price of our best blood and the greatest sacrifices. My hope is to move the American people as profoundly as possible to decide their government to accomplish the only possible act of justice to Haiti, which is to retire from the invaded territory. I consider as odious hypocrisy the pretoxis of humanity and interest in the Haitian people invoked by the United States Government in perpetrating upon Haiti a reign of terror and extortion, continued since 1815. The treaty of 1815 cannot be invoked against Haiti as a basis for the American regime, for it was imposed on the country, as a result of hypocritical defeat and acts of violence. If an individual had done to another's hurt what the United States Government has done so the Haitian people, the only punishment adequate, will be life imprisonment or the sentence. GREETING!

H. Eason, the American Leader, Speaks in Behalf of Liberian Republic RALEIGH, N. C., Jan 9—Dr J. W. H. Eason, native North Carolina Negro who began his ministry in Rowan and now is American leader for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, is in the State organizing the people of his race and representing the proposal to make in Africa a Negro State having a national flag, national industries, their own government and everything that goes with it. Dr. Eason spoke in Raleigh recently to an interested audience and if it had not been he would have made it so. He has the oratory native to the race, to Gates county which produces Hallett Wards and men who can speak. This black man can take the rag off the bush. He has an amazing command of the platform. He isn't an agitator against the whites. He tells the Negroes that they have no quarrel with the white man who morally loves his country and his race better than he ever is going to love the black man who has no country. The scheme is not so grandiose as carting every man of African descent back to Africa. The purpose is to people Liberian with American Negroes who have learned something of government and self-control, who know how to farm, how to worship understandingly, how to teach school, and to make a black republic which will have a national pride exactly as Americans now have. Germans have French, English and every other nationality have The hand of the movement is Marcus Garvey, British subject who has lately become naturalized. The movement is meeting many critics within the race who can't see through it. But when this North Carolina orator asks if race pride, national enthusiasm, patriotism, industry, and religion are not good, he invariably gets many and unctuous amens. He illustrated his story with one from the John Wanamaker's big department store. He said that he and others living in Philadelphia had gone to Mr. Wanamaker and told him that in view of the great number of Negroes, in Philadelphia it would be well to have clerks and others who made a specialty of the race trade cultivated its friendship and served. Mr Wanamaker thought it wise in theory, but said it would hurt his business. He said "But you have 160,000 Negroes here, enough to support a store as big as mine." "Why don't you build one?" And the Philadelphia Negroes bought a whole block and covered it with a big Negro department store. "That is w. the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League is going to do on national scale," he said. Likea Politics. But— "I like politics and I would like to hold office to be a diplomat, a sure enough one. I am a provisional one now. But I know I never will be. Why? Because there are 10 white men in this country to one Negro, and you know the 10 white men are not going to allow me to represent their country, one of their men is going to do that. The white man is going to think more of his race than of any other race, therefore, I will never be a politician or diplomat in this country. But I might be in our own country, where we had our own government, schools flag and soil"—Greens-Sigro (N.C.) Daily News. The Queen Esther Circle The Queen Eather Circle of Mother Zion A. M. M.

WASHINGTON Jan. 26 - The House passed the Anti Litching Bill today by a vote of 220 to 119 with four members voting 'Present.' This completes the first step toward enforcing the power of the Federal Government over communities in which litching occurs. Berkshire Republicans could not follow the majority of their party and voted with the Democrats against the bill, while eight Democrats voted with the Republicans for it as follows. Republicans against Barbour Cal., Brown Tenn Cause Penn Curry, Cal French Idaho Herrick Okla., Hershey, Me Jones, Pa., Kelley Mich., Layton Dei Luce Mass., Nolian Cal., Parker N J Miss Robertson Okla., Sinnott, Ore., Stemp, Va., Stafford, Wis.

Myser London the lone Socialist voted for the bill Onus Placed on G O. P The Democratate purposely ignored a clause offered by a large group of Republicans to devitalize the measure thus throwing the responsibility squarely on the whole membership of the Republican Party. This was due to the generalization of Representative Court of Pennsylvania acting Democrat leader Representative French (Rep Idaho) offered an amendment to strike from the bill the sections which impose a $10,000 fine on counties in which there may be a lynching. The vote in committee of the whole House was 60 for 62 against. All but two or three of those supporting Mr French were Republicans. As the Democrats were about to file between the tellers, Mr Garrett motioned them back at they voted they could have removed the teeth from the bill. Mr. French told his colleagues he was not in favor of penalizing a county composed of citizens whohly innocent of the crime of lyrching committed in the dark hours of the night. He said the individual members of the mob, or the officers refusing to do their duty, should be punished. Representative Volstead denied the penalties were unfair. If the country is unwilling, he said, "to have a lyrch law it can so to it that it does not operate. Representative Blancon (Dem. Tex) said the bill should be passed as it was framed so the people could know what the Republicans had in their minds, but he predicted it would never become law. He charged that the framers of the measure know it would die in the Bate or in conference. The Anti-Lynching bill as originally laid before the House was the one presented by Reprosen active Dyer. It was printed through by Chairman Volstead of the Judicialty Committee and may come to be known as the Volstead Anti-Lynching measure, inasmuch as the form in which it was passed today was offered by Mr. Volstead yesterday, as a substitute for the other. The bill defines a mob or rotous ```markdown ``` Address all mail and money orders ROYAL CHEMICAL CO. JAMAICA, N.

Main Provisions of Bill Dismissal, its provisions are That any State failing to protect the life of any person against a mob or riotous assembly we shall 'be deemed to have denied to such person the equal protection of the laws of the State That any State or municipal officer 'who fails neglects or refuses to make all reasonable efforts' to prevent a person from being so put to death or to apprehend or prosecute all persons participating shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment of the years or fine not exceeding $5,000 or both That an officer having a prisoner in custody who shall conspire with a mob shall be subject to life imprisonment or not less than five years. That district courts shall have jurisdiction if it is made to appear that State officials have not done their duty. That any county in which a person is put to death by a mob or riotous assembling shall forfeit $10,000, which sum may be recovered by an action thereafter in the name of the United States against such county for the so-called family of the person so put to death.

N. I. A. ON JANUARY 23 AND 24 His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis Stir Brooklyn with Their Eloquence --- January. 23 1922 January 19, 1922 What was really a big time for the members of Brooklyn Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was the occasion of the visit of Ile Eauvagee the Hon. Marquis Carves, Provisional President of Africa, and Lady Hummery the Visitation International Organizer on the evenings of January 23 and 24. At an early hour on January 23 the building was paused to overflow by members and friends of the great Negro organization in the world who were waiting with anxious hearts for the arrival of the distinguished visitors. Promptly at 8 o'clock the signal was given that they were near and the colonel commanding officer N. W. Redford had communicated to him informed him to come from silence they expected to greet him to our meeting plan.

As international organizer I went to California the heartful land of online then to Chicago where I received a royal welcome. I noted that they were progressive there and working in harmony for the reclamation of Vienna. I am here to congratulate the members of Brooklyn division upon their loyalty to this cause and to our great leader because he is used in instruction in such hands to aid a while to freedom. Although we are at a time of critical times stand by our responsibility to help N.Y. and Maryland. We now have the opportunity to work with the Negro community in New York. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh will be our partners. N.Y. will be our partner. But the world needs them. We are not going to mettle for it, we use the opportunity of being to the world to help for business we will never back out again. Therefore in all our difficulties we should resolve to fight and to be the great principles of the organization As I travel from place to place from city to city I find great industrial unrest existing everywhere and in this unrest I find that Negroes are the first to lose their jobs. This should not be in the spirit of fairness, but it is invariably so. It behooves us therefore to open factories for the employ of our own people. As long as we depend on the white man for a job, so long will we be his football. The new Negro is tired of that sort of thing, so in the spirit of justice and fair play we must become united for our own welfare. And so our wonderful leader is bringing a plan for Brooklyn Division by which you will be better able to conserve your own money in our own interest. Would it God he had been born fifty years ago because the eyes of the Negro would have been opened long ago. We brought up families and left them to die in retreated, without ever thinking of the future of our children of our posterity. Because the white man thinks thus they have a republic. They plan for unborn generations. So our leader is spending wakeful nights, planning for the development of the people of our country. Africa Because we believe that God will provide, we are apt to sit quietly and wait upon God but we must remember that God helps those who help themselves and the time is when we must help ourselves or else be abandoned by God if myself. We must help ourselves here so that we can better help ourselves when Africa has been redeemed. If that every Negro should stand firmly and show his atamina now be forth and forever. This is the time for the men and women, time to weigh ourselves in the balances. These are the times through which we are passing, yet with the characteristic joyce of spirit and optimism of the Negro we shall even go through the valley of the shadow of death, and we shall not call. Marcus Garvey Speaks The last speaker introduced was His Excellency the Hon Marcus Garvey and numerous applause the entire audience standing and the guard of honor with drawn sabres. His Excellency said in part, "Once more it becomes my pleasure and more in your midst. I have been so willing to speak to you if possible to inspire you. As a member and a friend as members of the organization, I must have been watching the great work of this great organization. The Universal Negro Improvement Association came upon the imprisoned a few years ago with a big program of training four hundred millions into one solid body. For ages it was said to be impossible for the men we worked, filtered died without fortunately succeeding. But we in course of time were able to reach the hearts of millions of our race And tonight the movement has a following loyal and true a following loyal and true in the civilized known world. Some of you do not appreciate it but when I tell you that millions are working for the same cause not only in New York, but in the 48 States of the Union, every country on this western hemisphere, in Africa, Asia and Europe, then you will realize the great power and worth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In the space of four years it has made the circuit of the world and photographed the Red the Black and Green wherever Negroes live. Others did not make us we made ourselves. We are first in the history of the race with the scope and power to be found in the U.S.A. You will realize that this movement is being assaulted by great forces, but you must also realize that it is only things which are worth while that are directed by others. They desire to suppress this movement because of fear. If the Kaiser and the Central Powers were like Haiti the powers of the world would not have combined their forces to fight them. But because the Germans and Central Powers were so dangerous they brought fear upon the world. Let me tell you that the 'U N I A has the combined forces of the world fighting it, because the program is a free and independent Africa. 'Africa has become the danger sign of the world. All nations are looking to Africa. The bankrupt nations of Europe unable to rehabilitate themselves through their own countries, are looking to Africa as their hope. British East Africa must support Britain French West Africa must support France with resources to rebuild Italian Africa must also serve the same purpose. Then since this is so every attempt to free Africa must meet with opposition. What organization wants to free Africa* (Cries of "The U. N. I A" from audience) That is why unseen forces of government are fighting us. The world took us as a joke when we started. They called us a bunch of illiterate, fanatic Negroes. But as we have stood fast in our principle of "Africa for the Africans," we have started the world. Tonight* as you sit here, so hundreds are sitting in Africa concentrating on the same thought of freeing Africa. This evening as I was about to leave the office, a cable came to me from Cape Town, saying, "We are holding the fort—we have stirred Africa." Shall we faint under opposition? And we know how to fight, because we fought in France and Flanders, in Egypt and Mesopotamia, some of us. may be faint-hearted, but I may unto you faint-hearted ones, "You shall die." Brave men shall go on and take the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green on the hilltop of Africa. protected throughout the world; so shall we struggle for the protection of our people, whoresover they may dwell. Struggle for a greater Africa and We shall not be serfs; we shall be free. We care not what may come! "Give me liberty or give me death!" Some preachers are against us, saying we are too radical. But only radicals will find a place in the sun. The age for turning the right cheek if you are hit on the left is past. This is a Jack Johnson age, when the fittest will survive. For over fifty-odd years we had lost hope and heart, because we saw no hope for our ambitions. We saw millions pushing us back. But, thank God, Negroes have changed. Their ability is being used for the greater glory of Africa. We shall so work that one day we shall be free. We shall not be afraid of our own flag, we are going to get it and hold it, and make it the greatest flag in the world. They laugh and say that I am spectacular. Who is more spectacular than the Pope? These are the very people who were laughed at in ages past. The Anglo-Saxons were whipped and serried by Rome. The Britons have risen, so shall the Negro rise to be the proudest nation of the world. We are working for our children. You of Brooklyn, continue! The fight is long. All true warriors know no fear. Our friends are heart-tainted but Jesus Christ was the greatest radical the world ever saw. Jesus opposed wrong. His program was to lift up humanity and save mankind We are exhorting our people to rise. And, I say, iphould your own program. I feel that we are to live out our own program, and march out and do things. You must advance your own leadership. We have demonstrated to the world that Negroes are able to carry a program of their own. A program of warfare to make us true men indeed God Created Men Equal Lead out as generalis to map out our own course of victory. We are different from others, we have a great program. Why should we allow others the access to all the pleasures of life, and we be as peons, serfa, slaves? Are you not children of the Common Creator? Some don't believe that God made them. Who made you? If God made you and other people, then he made you for an equal purpose—to be lords of creation. He could not intend you to worship Him in spirit and in truth if you were created to be slaves. God made as His masterpiece—yellow, brown, black, to be equals of all men. If he intended you to have a lower place, he would not have given you the position of being men. He would have created you with the lower animals. But man" meant equal of all men. Then let us make a comparison between white and black men. White men—heads of governments, heads of nations, having towering cities. When God created you equal of all He gave you ability to do things for yourself. That you occupy your present positions is not God's fault but yours. God is vexed with you because you have hidden your talents. An other men have built great cities, so will we build them in the great Empire of Africa. As other men have the United States of America so shall we build the great United States of Africa. Can it be done? (Cries of yes.) Some of you have no hope, no confidence. Will power is all. Some will to do and some will not to do. Some men will scare death itself to get at some desired object. White men will mind that the forest shall be cleared for himself and the trees went down. This spot on which this building is erected was a swamp and wilderness hundreds of years ago, today there is a house on it. The Negro must do or die. The man who cannot find his purpose in life ought to die. There is work for each and everyone of us to do in life. You must find it out for yourself. Search your consciousness. From the time I got sense and was able to read my first duty was to find out what I was best fitted for. And I found out that I am to make trouble in the world. (Outbursts of laughter) Some of us are fitted to be good musicians, bricklayers, tailors, lawyers. Discover yourself. This is the thought I want to leave with you. Discover yourself. Find it out tonight. God never meant you to sweep and carry poles. God made you and was through. It is for you to do the rest He handed you the world and said "You are the Lord of creation. If you want to be drawers of water and hears of wood, it is your business." He gave you two hands, two eyes, a head and body, and He was through. If you have no better use for your hands than to be drawers of water and scrub the floors, that's your business. How long will you allow this to be? God never cursed you, you cursed yourself And the U. N. I. A. wants to any No man can make you do what you don't want to do. You do as you like. The fake idea that God said it must be out out, for it is a lie. Colored woman there is a better place for you in the world, a place of honor in the black man's palace in Africa. To decorate the legislative palaces in Africa. We had men enough to fight in France and Flanders we have men enough to fight for Africa. You fought and died for England and France, in the name of God and reason, go out and preserve the Republic of Africa for yourselves and for your children. Others have done it. you must do it. It must be accomplished. The world in which we live is reorganising. Every race is seeking a place of its own. Japanese is looking for a greater Japan, India—a free India, greater India, Egyptian a free and independent Egypt. The Irish, who had been clamoring for 750 years for a free and independent Ireland, have got an Irish Free State. It means that all must realize that we who are unorganized must be and will be the serfs and peons of the stronger of the world. White America, England, France are protected throughout the world so shall we struggle for the protection of our people, wheresoever they may dwell. Struggle for a greater Africa, and accept no compromise. Some preachers and others are too aggressive. How can we sit by? Can we allow it? Our fathers suffered because they had no vision. If you have no vision you perish. Our vision must be that of a free and independent African commonwealth, strong enough to protect Negroes everywhere. I am going to strive and struggle until Africa is free. (Applause). Shall I shut up? (Cras of "Nol") I should die, and there is any truth about ghosts coming back. I will be one bad ghost until Africa is free. (Great laughter.) We cannot give up. How can we? With the inspiration of the past stick closely together. Encourage no antagonism. Be loyal to yourself and to your race. Don't give up; you are strong numerically. There shall be no kicking around. If you kick one you kick 400,000,000 of us. I thank you for your support in the past. There shall be many conflicts before freedom, before liberty. You have got to make sacrifices. I thank you for your loyalty. The time will come when all preachers will have to preach the doctrine of the U. N. L. A. or shut up. Those who are organized to fight us are fighting God because God has said that a Princess shall come out of Egypt. And she is now stretching out her hands unto God. No preschars can stand in our way. The U. N. L. A. with Jesus as our leader is preparing a program which shall startle the world until we plant the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green upon the battle plains of Africa. The President-General then announced that his subject for Tuesday evening, January 24, will be "The Call of the Hour," to which all were invited. Thus a memorable event in the annals of Brooklyn Division was brought to a close at 11 o'clock p. m. Tuesday, January 24 The proceedings of this meeting were carried out in the same order as on the preceding evening, with man new faces visible, coming to get fed at the fountain. The musical program this evening was as follows Piano solo—Miss Hinds (juvenile). Song, "The Holy City"—Mrs. Dowell. Piano solo—Mr. D. R. Miller. Recitation—Little Miss King. Song—Capt. Armstrong (the legions). Piano solo—Master Bridgewater. Several officers of this division addressed the people, after which the Rt. Hon. International Organizer awayed the crowd again with her eloquence, followed by His Excellency, who, in a masterly way, delivered his subject, "The Call of the Hour." A banquet was served to His Excellency, Lady Davis and their staff immediately after, the officers of Brooklyn Division accompanying. The president of Brooklyn Division took opportunity of thanking His Excellency and Lady Davis for their visit to Brooklyn Division and introduced the officers of the division to them. His Excellency fittingly replied. Thus a never-to-be-forgotten period in the history of Brooklyn Division was brought to a close, His Excellency and Lady Davis, with their attendants, leaving for New York at 12 p. m. escorted by members of the Brooklyn legions. WILLIAM R. MILLER. Secretary HON. H. F. CARROLL STIRS INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION HON. H. F. CARROLL STIRS INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION Jan 21. 1922. Hon. H. F Carroll, High Commissioner, is in our midst with his unusual power, inspiration and the U. N. I. A. spirit, something that is needed here in our city very much in order to awaken the people. Hon. Mr Carroll is nothing but enthusiasm. And I know that Indianapolis now has caught the idea of the "Harvey movement" Where did this Carroll come from? Why need he been here long ago? We need men to let the people know that there is really U. N. I. A Division in our city. I am one of the old members, one of the first to join the movement. But after a while no one seemed to know anything at all about the U. N. I. A Then came the High Commissioner and after hearing him in one of the greatest appeals to the Negroes of Indianapolis to awaken and come out of their stupor, I promised that I would come back and get into the harness again. The Commissioner said that our city was going over the top regardless of who tried to prevent it. I also gave a command to capture Indianapolis. We need just the type of Hon Mr Carroll with us, a man, or man who are in earnest. We also need at least enough meetings to build up our division and it takes whole-hearted men to do it. Hon Mr Carroll said in one of his speeches that in order to get the respect of the other fellow we must try to equal him if not surpass him along all lines of endeavor. And since the other fellow has built himself a civilization, it is up to us to do likewise. And if we say that we are anyone's equal we must prove it with deeds and not with fine "selected words." I am really sorry that the honorable gentleman cannot always remain here. right in Indianapolis; at least until we get enoon_h life within ourselves to make our division what it ought to be. There are thirty-five thousand colored people here, and just about thirty-five active members. Woll, anyway. I have the consolation of knowing that the inspiring speeches and the unusual enthusiasm shown by Hon. Mr. Carroll will at least arouse the people to immediate action. Three cheers for Him, H. P. Carroll! Long live the U. N. I. A. and the Hon. Marus Garvey, one of the greatest and grandest men of any time or any age. OLD MEMBER U. N. I. A. Indianapolis Division. EXECUTIVE SECRETARY HOLDS THE FORT IN CLEVELAND, OHIO With keen interest the Executive Secretary (Mr. Wesley McD. Holder) of the Cleveland Division was watched since his functioning in the city, and there is one conclusion that any same person can come to, and that is Mr. Holder is a young man of whom Cleveland should be proud. It could be easily seen that this young secretary is built on a foundation of thoroughness. The anxious need of the U. N. I. A. in the past in Cleveland was some one stationary in the district who could be got in touch with when the aims and objects of the organization were necessary to be explained, and in this gentleman we find the necessary panacea. It is a credit to the organization to have man placed in positions where they can serve satisfactorily. We never know what an asset we had until a few weeks ago when the Hon. Rudolph Smith started his membership campaign around the city, when in every case the secretary was one of the spokesmen. With great delight and enthusiasm he was listened to in his address, "The Negro Faces the World." This address brought congratulations from every corner of the city. Anyhow little was it known that he had not reached his height on that occasion. Sunday, January 22, at Lane Metropolitan Church he made the address of his life when his spoke on the subject "Negroes Flirting With Slavery." Following this address, the Hon. Rudolph Smith spoke on "The Negro as a Nation." These two addresses were so much to the point and in time that even the minister of the church enrolled his name. Mr. Holder keeps the fight of the organization not only in the said meeting, but carries it to the homes and offices of non-members. A few days ago, while out transacting business of the division, Mr. Holder found himself in a hornet's nest at a building in the city which is scattered with the offices of attorneys and other professional knockers of the organization and after a debate which lasted for about one hour, Mr. Holder came out victorious by convincing every man then present of the possibility of the movement. At the ending of that weak two of the attorneys went to the hall and enrolled their names as members of the organization. Congratulations to Holder, and may he keep the fight up. L. THOMAS. $911 Central Ave., Cleveland, Ohio U. N. I. A. A. C. L. CREED I believe in the U. N. I. A and A. C. L. as government, whose motto is one God, one aim, one destiny of the people, by the people, for the people, a perfect union one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which Negro patrons are willing to sacrifice their lives and fortunes. I. therefore, believe it is my duty to my country Africa to love it, to support its constitutions made by the Honorable Marcus Garvey, that great philosopher, to obey its laws, to respect the Red, the Black and the Green, and to defend it against all enemies, until it shall please and to call me home.

Crawford Dies It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Mr. William Crawford, one of the most beloved citizens of this community. Mr. Crawford, a native of Bermuda, was a man of striking personality, with a beautiful soul and lofty nature. A Christian gentleman, a social worker and one of the founders of the Maple Leaf Lodge of G. U. O. F., he accomplished a great deal for his race. Nor can his intellectual qualities be overlooked. Well he played the part of a peacemaker. Always cheerful, hopeful and sympathetic, he radiated sunshine everywhere. Like Napoleon, "he knew no motive but interest." He lived with the burden of our race on his heart. His death was sudden. Sleeping in a car which caught fire at midnight, he burned to death. His influence shall always linger, and his voice shall always breathe inspiring songs in our care. He is survived by a wife and several relatives who are residing in Bermuda, all to whom we offer our condolence. The funeral was well attended. The church was filled. The Knights of Pythia and the Odd Fellows participated in the ceremony. Rev. O. Thompson conducted the service. It was impressive. CROCHET READING SCHOOL On dresses, bags, waistbands.

Even the German population in the towns where they are quartered are now admitting that such forces as the Malgaches are exceptionally serious and trustworthy, and instead of travelling in savagery, many are devout Christians. At Epire, according to the parish magazine published in German, during two years 785 of these troops were baptised. 520 accepted first communion and an additional 500 received the confirmation sacrament in districts in the Palatinate. Says the German paper: "Nor will we ever forget the touching Christmas ceremony when seventy black soldiers received baptism at the hands of two bishops of different nationality in the cathedral at Spire, and we can all testify to the devotion with which these soldiers approached the divine table. Certainly when they return to their own land they will not forget to tell their comrades of the hearty welcome they were given by the population of Spire."

BY GWENDOLINE LEWIS Meerer in the history of the Washington Division was so much seal and matsismum shown as on Sunday, January. 23, *+*12. The Pythian Temple was crowded as never before in the history of the organization. The hall was profusely decorated with the Red. The black adn the Green. Many of the small tots were dressed in the same colora. There was a large number of them composing a spectacular chorus. The program was a through and through Survey one, which was opened by a little girl three years old. There followed many musical and literary numbers. The Executive Secretary, in a brief address, stated the purpose of the meeting. Mr. James Roberta, a native of Liberia, West Africa, was the principal speaker of the evening. He made a touching appeal to the older people on behalf of the younger. Mr. Whiting of the Dunbar High School also made a stirring address. The smaller children displayed great talent in their numbers. Miss Minnie Saulders as mistress of ceremonies ably conducted the meeting. Miss Louise Rindell is to be congratulated for organizing and conducting the chapra, while Miss Gwendoline Lewin was pianist. Great credit is due Mr. Lionel Oxley, our busy little executive secretary from the parent body, for the splendid arrangement of the program. He has shown the results of many days of patient and strenuous work in this city. After the program a large num- ber of the children were organized into the juvenile of the organization. CHARLESTON, S. C., DIV. NO. 113 CELEBRATES EMANCIPATION DAY CHARLESTON, S. C., DIV. NO. 113 CELEBRATES EMANCIPATION DAY Jan. 7, 1923. I desire to report the success we had hero on Jan 2, emancipation day. The morning was a bitter cold one and a great many of our members failed to turn out, but notwithstanding the cold weather, at 6 o'clock our Bro. S. M. Sandara, was at the Hall with the flag of the Red, to Black and the Green, the universal colors of the U. N. L. A. We assembled at Carpenter's Hall and marched down to Calhoun street, where his flag became objectionable and was ordered by the Chief Marshal not to be carried in the parade. But or the heroic effort of Mr. Sandara to present to the Negroes of Charleston and the State of South Carolina the first N. U. N. A. flag ever exhibited here, it was unfuried, raised and carried in the parade, being killed on either side as the flag of the Black Star Line. After the parade we resembled at the hall, where enthusiastic addresses were delivered by Brother G. S. M.

I am Your Sowerly G. M. SANDERS, Chairman Advocacy Board. Charleston Division No. 118. NOTE FROM DUQUESNE, PA., DIVISION JAN. 22, 1822. I desire to say a few words concerning our division and this world-wide movement. We were favored on last Sunday [122nd inst.] with a very interesting program tendered by the ladies of the Black Cross Nurses. The paper by Mr. Jennie Peters, subject, "Let Us Do or Die," was very inspiring to the real Irish man held women. The said that this is the time to do and not any which moves the hearts of members of old profession. It was responded by Mr. W. L. Anderson with very impressive remarks; he told how we must continue to hold on regardless of the consequences. The most who is paper by Mrs. Watson, subject, "What We Would Like to Eek in 1822." One of the male patients brought edited and in time a U. M. L. established in every city, town and hamlet in the United States. The response was by W. W. Winkley. Who spoke as in what we were do to accommodate this and said that we must face the crisis, this is in regard to the ponsed movement. The Smith's paper was on the subject. She pointed out how women emancipation still in our leader should be the program may be accepted. Who responded, was by Mrs. W. Winkley who was very fortunate and generous. The ponsed movement to advance emancipation, who responds on the subject, "A Misunderstanding." He said that we should love as we have never loved belma. He filled the audience with joy and grea. inspiration as he told how the eyes of the world are upon the Negro race. Remarks were made by the President, Rev. II Smathera. The division wishes the world to know that we are with our leader, if he goes up or down, because we believe he is a man sent by God to deliver his people. We expect the road to be rough, the mountains high and the valleys deep, for such has been the fate of others who succeeded, and why not he? Let his troubles be ours, that he may know that we are with him. May God keep him to the end. W. W. BLAKELY. Reporter MRS. AIKENS. Pres. Ladies' Div THE RAPE OF AFRICA THE CRIME OF THE AGE Address Delivered by State Commissioner of Michigan, W. A. Wallace, Before the Detroit Division The following words I have taken from the Chicago Evening American, namely. "And there ought not to be any further doubt in the mind of any Senator, Congressman or any other sensible American that we are Jealous at Washington with the same lying, treacherous, faithless and thieving diplomacies that have always administered the affairs of England, France, and precisely as the same kind administered the affairs of the former Russian, German and Austrian Empires. "The Heart papers have constantly insisted that these diplomats gathered in Washington were all professional liars, unable to speak the truth or deal honestly." This is a severe arraignment of white men by white men. These whom the Chicago America, assails are they that would not that we should be a nation, but with violence and viciousness they have torn us asunder. The beautiful rays of the rising and setting sun on the most wonderful land of the world was not supposedly by the dominant races to be made to shine on peace, comfort and joy of any people other than as they would have it. So out of their insatiable desire for wealth and power at the expense of others they proceeded to extract the heart-strings and soul vitality from people innocent in life and pursuit of happiness, enjoying the land God had given them according to their own mode and manner. So they scattered like cattle the Africans to the seas, to the Americans and elsewhere, until their own folk rose in horror and plty against such forcible inhumanity. And public resentment, through a zeared conscience and war, compelled abolishment of slavery in the West Indies and then in America. To continue their farcical crimes of brutality they withdrew their active operations to Africa proper and thus today in our own age and time, when we imagine ourselves safely enclosed beneath the Stars and Stripes, we see our brothers across the waters donatedonalized, brutalized and exploited by alien powers, capitalistic greed and imperial desire for power. For this reason we call your attention to four centuries of transporting our people forebly from their native shores to foreign climes, covering from the 15th century to the 19th by, the Portuguese, Spanish, Brittish Dutch, French, Swedes, Danes and Prussians. At present we leave these past centuries to take up the present 20th century, beginning with 1901 when Southwest Africa was ravaged by the Germans, slaughtering 80,000 harmless, peaceful, industrious natives out of 80,000, seizing their land and cattle-bearing the old men and prostituting and enslaving the women, the opening for the same having been made by a hypocritical German missionary advance agent, who had gone ahead and allayed the fears and sense of protection in the native, thus making him to believe that the mission of the white man: attended them was one of love attended with all the attributes of Christianity, and thus they were easy prey for the coming despairer. Again in South Rhodesia we witness the onward rush of these beasts of prey, where the crimes committed became such a stanch in the nootrilla even of some of those who were committing them, that England and Germany were thrown into a quarrel and the unpleasant things were made known to the world. Here an area of 148,000 square miles, three times the size of England, with 744,550 blacks and only 28,600 whites, yielding one hundred millions in gold in a short time with poor working tools (and yet some Negroes of America haven't lost anything in Africa), was crushed beneath the heels of these oppressors whom Mr. Hedrest calls "thieves and robbers." A land belonging to a title whose monuments and pyramids are the wonders of colonists, a prosperous people with thousands of cattle, living in peace under their own leaders, must be betrayed into a deceptive contract through misplaced confidence in a British missionary, spreading English gospel. Here it was, that the famous ruler of the notated Dr. Jasminon took place in 1853, when troops were spotted on alqamers, by being allowed nine square miles of land each and parmlled by peas, but by gold, claims that they might renew their arms in cranking and suppressing this people, from sands of natives, were slain in cold blood, children battered to death women abused, old men illain and the people robbed of over 100,000 head of cattle. These are not stolen of the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922 fifteenth century, but occurrences of the present days of our remembrance, 1890 to 1893, perpetrated by these superior people through their main spokesman, the Englishman and his relatives. These people were deprived of a right in either land, water or themselves in their own land. Surely the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must go on if we are to remedy any of these conditions. COURT AND JURY DENY FULL U. N. I. A. EX-EMPLOYE FOR NON-PERFORMANCE OF SERVI Let us for a few moments turn our attention to the beneficent rule and angelic supervision of these unheavenly creatures over Morocco as concocted by dear sweet France and adorable Spain and acquiesced in by justifying Britain and agreed to by religious Italy, when in 1907 these royal and harmless French bombeded Casablanca, killed black Moors by the thousands, destroyed beautiful native towns and imposed heavy taxes. For which the Spaniards are now paying some share of the penalty I bring you these things as culled from the white man's writings. I was not there If they are lies he told them. We are compiling our own records of references for use in the future in such a way as he may find out later not now. For a few moments we will talk about the Congo Free State where the generous Christianity of the Belgian was made so manifest by the destruction of ten million of our people in the short space of time from 1891 to 1911 using their superiority by cutting off different parts of the bodies of the black men and women if they did not produce as much work as they thought should be, under the most gracious supervision of his Christian lordship, King Leopold. Yes, in this century these natives were neither beasts, drunkards, savages nor cannibals, but black men and women, producers and traders in wax, ivory, tin, copper, lead palm oil, ete, and carried on this trade for 2,000 miles in the interior and with other outside countries. Again in Angola another part of Africa, the Portuguese are carrying blacks to the cocoa islands and St Thome, which places are declared to be veritable hells, to enrich Portugal from the proceeds of cocoa raising. These are the people who would hold in their hands the destiny of the world and come to Washington to declare peace, when not a note is sounded in reference to these conditions. Peace, you say? There will be no peace until Belgium, with only seven and a half millions of people, ceases to rule over and crush thirty million blacks covering ninety-five times her own territory. Peace? Not until France stops forcing from a territory in Africa on third as large again as all Europe black soldiers to fight her battles and cheap labor to do her work. Peace? Not until Portugal, with only five and a half million, ceases her unjust power over twenty-one times her own area Peace? Nay, nay; not until Great Britain through her agents takes the natives from the compounds in South Africa, stops taking them for living, and permits them in their own country to exercise their privileges as men and human beings, and prevents their continued treatment as animals and slaves. These conditions are not only tramping down the rights of the black man, but they also react upon the white man and are scatching the wheels of the world's progress. How much more prosperous the world would be, how many in the way of modern industrial and economic civilization. If thus encouraged to advance, new ideas, new desires and new needs would obtain in Africa. Machinery would be needed for the development of the iron deposits, tools for the tilling of the ground, clothes for wearing apparel, household goods, traveling conveyances, etc., and thus factories of these other countries would be called upon in greater numbers and the suffering laboring man of whatever crime or color would be benefited because some degree of justice and righteousness was being meted out to the weak by the strong. Not seeking and doing these things that ought to be done in the interest of humanity by the diplomats, premiers, governors and capitalists, makes the raping of Africa a crime against all humanity and the outstanding one of the age. A blunder a fool ought to be able to see for it was the basis of all the carnage of the last world war and it will be the cause of the next, the great Armageddon. Unless the people who are at Washington crying and blinding for peace change greatly their tactics, we of the black race have been submissive the full length of our time in anduring such. And the world may just as well awaken from its dream and realize it, and begin to get in tune with the music of fair play, and hearten to our demand for that freedom and liberty that belongs to all men. For it is written in the clouds and the handwriting is on the wall; we must have it. we shall have it. "Surely justice has fled to brutish heart and men have lost their rush on in a state of madness to the crushing of allsemblance of justice and equity. Africa robbed, slandered and ravaged in Africa; Africa builchered, burned, raped and hanged in America; Africa oppressed and deprived of her carmigls in the West Indies; Africa trapped upon and bleeding in Haiti; Africa exploited by all nations of the earth. Africa crushed, bleeding and battered—how long, how long will you rost with one hand on your check and knee on the ground. Africa, arise, arise! Your numbers are four hundred millions. Wake up your men of ability, arouse your doctor, your lawyers, your statesman; stir up your mechanics, your business men; corral your lattices and educators; Africa, buckle on your gun of determination, place before you your breastplates of faith, call aloud for your brave men; bond men, courageous men, and under the banners of the Red, the Black and the Green, with the Honorable Martin Garvey, our christian, at the hand, let us march on to victory and put a stop to the crimes of the new, the rape of Africa.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION 56 West 135th Street NEW YORK NEW YORK, Jan. 26. 1922.—In a suit brought by Mr Cyril A. Critchlow against the Universal Negro Improvement Association to recover $1.237 99 which, he alleged, was due him by the association as back pay and reimbursement for the expense of his travel from Liberia to New York, a court and jury today gave a verdict in favor of Mr Critchlow allowing him $700 of the claim. The decision, although not wholly in favor of the association, will have the effect of curbing the ambitions of certain scrupulous persons who readily resort to a court of justice to support them in their claims against the association for wages regardless of whether or not they have rendered faithful services in return, for the wages claimed. The ruling of the judge on this point was very emphatic and went to show that an employee under contract must in coming into court prove actual performance of the duties imposed under the contract before his claims can be upheld by a court of law. This M. Crichlow failed to do, according to the evidence produced in court, on the contrary, it was proved in the first place that he was incapacitated by sickness to render the service which he had contracted to perform, and, according to the ruling of the court, when an employee is engaged to render services, if there is nothing specified in the contract, he is not entitled to any money during the time he was incapacitated because the employer is entitled to have service rendered before he can be compelled to pay wages. In January 1921, Mr. Critchlow was engaged by the President-General Hon Marcus Curvey, to go to Montreal, Liberm, West Africa, an resident secretary of the commissariat of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at a salary of $2,500 a year. He was given specific instructions as to the nature of the duties he was to perform, namely, "To take charge of all the records and reports and attend to all business transactions initiated through His Highness the Potentate (Hon Tabarrel Johnson, mayor of Montreal) and carry out all Instructions of the High Executive Council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, his appointment to continue as long as he gives satisfactory service to the association, such services being judged by his honesty and attention to duttes. He shall receive instructions from His Highness the Potentate and through the Executive Council. He shall be held responsible for all cash in his hands and shall keep such records and vouchers as to show the faithful discharge of his duttes." Under these instructions Mr. Critchlow left New York for Liberia, arriving on the 18th of March and entered on his duttes. No received his wages for the month of February, March and April, but during that period relations between him and the Potentate became strained, it being alleged that Mr Critchow tried to usurp the power of the Potentate and by other acts of disloyalty to the Potentate and the association became intolerable. His conduct was reported to the home office in New York and the payment of his wages was suspended after he had cabled to New York voluntarily tendering his resignation. Mr Critchow afterwards fell sick and after May there was a period of inactive service on his part caused by illness and also through disagreement with his colleagues. Subsequently he left Liberia on August 6, 1921 at his own expense for New York alleging that he had received code instructions from New York to come home, which however was denied by the association it being claimed that the sublegion giving instructions to come to New York was intended for Hon. tabelle Johnson and not for Mr Critchow. After his arrival here he reported to the office on the 15th of September, was interviewed by Mr. Garvey a paid a sum of money and offered a position in the office with the understanding that the matter of the back pay claimed by him would be adjusted as soon as proper verification could be received from Liberia as to the service he had rendered and whether or not he was entitled to wages during the entire time he remained there. Mr Critchow accepted the position and went away but never returned to assume his duties. He afterwards wrote in a claim for wages up to September 15 together with the money he had spent for his passage from Liberia to New York. This was refused and the present pay was instituted with the result stated above. The court may be appealed which will stay any execution of the judgment until it comes up for hearing in the Austral Court. NEWS FROM WINSTON SALEM DIV., U. N. I. A. The Winston-Salem Division No. 392 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been highly favored by the parent body in sending to them from headquarters the Hon Arnold A. Cummings. D I N C. Field representative of the organization. The good gentleman has been with us since the middle of October and we are proud to have him in our midst. He is laboring hard in order to set the aims and objects of the association before the Negro population of this city. He has been delivering a series of addresses since his arrival in this city. Besides addressing the members of the organization in our Liberty Hall, he visits several of the churches here and whenever an opportunity is given him he delivers the gospel of the U N I A. He on one occasion also addressed the Ministerial Union.

MEMBERS,KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN And see that everybody lives up to it By Order: UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General STAR HAIR GROWER A Wonderful Hair Dressing and Grower. 1,000 AGENTS WANTED. ```markdown ``` body did not make any mistake in sending such a representative to us. Unfortunately the city is at present passing through a financial crisis and many who would like to connect themselves with the association cannot conveniently do so at present. With the opening of the new year we hope that things will change and that we shall take many into the field. We are pleased to say that we have been well instructed in the fundamental principles of Garviesim, and our resolution is to go forward, for we believe that all men should be free and that and we shall work, caring not what the skeptics may say. It is a sad fact to admit that we have within our ranks many intellectual slaves, men who will see the truth as glaring as the sun in the sky and yet will not admit to it. Like Eau man will sell their birthright for a mess of potage. It is no secret that Marcus Garvey is the greatest Negro the race has yet produced. We should like the so-called intellectuals to pattern him, for he thinks as a free man and not as a slave. We are proud of Marcus Garvey and wish the race would give us many more of Garvey's type. Garvey is a man among men and the time is a time when Negroes the world would refuse to follow any leader given them by an alien race for they are nothing but cringing asophants, and a small from a white man would be enough for them to sell the interest of the entire race. But Marcus Garvey has no apology to make where his race is concerned. He believes that what is good for any other race is also good for his race but other so-called leaders it would appear do not value themselves and then raise it to three in terms with Garvey. Blaves they were born and slaves they are prepared to die. I hereby beg to appeal to all self-respecting Negroes to answer the call of the God-sent man, Marcus Garvey, and join the UN II A that we may be able to free ourselves in every sense of the word—commercially, industrially, educationally and politically. Some years ago it could be said that all races have a flag except the Negro who thank God (and) while the Eng- . lishman points to his Union Jack, the Frenchman to his tri-color, the white American to the Stars and Stripes, through Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A, the Negro can today point with pride to the Red, Black and the Green. We have the hope of a free and redeemed Africa, which will offer Negroes protection wherever on the globe they may be found. I is said, where there is no vision the people porch, but U. N. I A has given a great vision and inspiration to all Negroes who respect themselves and their race. Mr. Editor I know that I am an African, first, last and all the time and I have no other choice to make so I must conclude by saying long live Marus Garvey, the modern Muses and also the U N. I A Yours faithfully REV J J MUMFORD President Winston Salem, N C A GREETING FROM PARMELE. N. C. It is apparent that wade the distances of the U N. L. A. and A. C. L. are spreading the world over that Parmele Division No. 306 is in no way left out. A few months ago there came around an organizer of the U N. L. A. in the person of Mr U. S. Powell, who instilled in the minds of the community the principles of Garveyism. As a result, since April 57 persons have become members and pledged themselves to follow all the principles of the U N. L. A. From what we can gather we believe the Parmele branch will be an exceptional one in North Carolina. The people here are fully determined to help in the redemption of Africa, also the members of the above branch have resolved to stand by their Moses, the Hon Marcus Garvey until bannon of the Red, the Black and the Green is placed on the hilltops of Liberia Thanking you in advance for space to remain.

Greeting: Again I beg to inform you that my division has had the honor of entitlement the Flight Hon. Capt. E. A. Gaines, Minister of Legiona, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for two evenings, namely the 28th and 27th inst., and his message to us was highly appreciated. in the inuga of Epesitua, "am always enton with that which happen, for I think that what God chooses is better than what I choose. Therefore I feel that this man was chosen by God for he could never have mastered the racial "cats that he has if not so chosen. For his description of the different races was marvelous. And in comparing him to the saying of Solomon, "he that ruthish his speech is better than he that takes a city" For this man is able to rule his speech and he has also taken our city, for everybody who heard him regretted that his stay was so short. Owing to the present financial strain that we are now going through we all regret that we were not able to render greater financial assistance to this great cause that he is now in, but we are looking forward to the day when we will be able to answer all calls of the parent body. The captain started a division of the Legions here and placed in the chair a mother of the Juveniles thus you see we are still on the advance. I humbly ask to remain your obedient servant.

A. staged a grand dramatic concert to which the public was admitted. The duties of chairman were very creditably performed by Brother Charles Smith, who delivered a very impressive address in taking his place. No effort was spared to make manifest the reality of the universal importance of the event, a very impressive scene was witnessed, under the leadership of the chaplain, Brother William Bryan in which a sense of awakened enthusiasm was demonstrated by our people, and a program never before dreamed of was carried through successfully. Much was due to the earnest efforts of the chaplain and the realous response of those who took part supply reason to herald the principles for which the U. N. I. A so bold stands. Mr. Thompson the local organizer, traveled from St Joseph to La Boca for the occasion, and delivered an inspiring and instructive address. Other addresses were delivered by the president, Brother Joshua Douglas, and others. The affair was concluded by the secretary's address of thanks and the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. I am yours. E. A. M. STEPHEN, General Secretary. THE NEWARK U. N. I. A. The Newark Division, under the leadership of its president, Oscar Dawson, is making progress. Despite the severe storm on January 11, the meeting was largely attended. We found among those present were Wm. H.

A Building NIQUERO, Cuba, Jan. 14—It was quite a rare thing to have witnessed such a gathering of Negroes as was seen at the New Year's meeting in Liberty Hall here last week. President L. A. Hall and P. A. Higginson, chairman of the Honorary Advisory Board, spared no pains in making this meeting the success it was. Refreshments were served at the expense of these true-hearted Negroes to the cause of the Civil War. The hall really decorated with flowers. A large Cuban flag, provided by the company's administrator, and the colors of the Red Black and Green were among the decorations. The program for the evening was an excellent one, splendidly rendered. The president, in his opening address, called upon the Negroes of Nijouro to unite and so strengthen the arm of our Moses—the Hon. Marus Garvey. A quartet by Mesara. P. A. Higginson, Allan Harding, Frank Nicholson and Z. Clark rendered "Shoulder to Shoulder," which was well received. An original poem, "The New Year Dawn," recited by Master H. A. Hall, Jr. brought the house to its feet. An Alabaster was delivered by Master H. A. Harding Rudduck, P. P. H. Higginson's "Marching on to Victory," composed and sung by him, was a hit. Those taking part in the program were: P. H. Higginson, F. Nicholson, A. Harding, Z. Clark, G. W. Pennant, E. Campbell, H. A. Hall, L. A. Hall, B. Burnell, D. Christie A. Showers, H. Christie, R. Wallace and M. Alice Rudduck. A CORRECTION Editor Negro World Dear Sir—Please permit space to correct that part of the report of the occurrence on Emancipation Day parade, in which it is stated that Paul B. Bossard was stopped by the police from bearing the flag of the Red, the Black and the Green in the line of march. "It was Paul B. Bossard who gave orders that our flag should not be carried, and not the police." And where it is stated that the officer telephoned the chief of police who, perplexed, in telephone telephoned the mayor, who ordered the police to permit the Negroes to carry the Red, the Black and the Green through the streets of Charleston, B. C. I desire to state that this delegation of N. I. A. members was led by S. M. Sandera and not by Paul B. Bossard, who was chief marshal for the Emancipation Day Association. Please correct it in our next issue of the Negro World, as to do so is of vital importance to our city. Yours fratern, lily, S. M. SANDERS, Charleston, B. C.

W C FRANCI, Executive Secretary, Pittsburgh Division No. 61 HAPPENINGS IN MORON. On Sunday, January 1, at our mass meeting held in our Liberty Hall something came to our notice which we think is worthy of publication: -THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1932 photograph and many credentials proved his identity, but the strange thing about the story ran thus: The Prince said he was surprise: to find Negroes as they are. For they understood that Negroes in the Western Hemisphere have tells and are cannibals. These same missionaries tell us the same thing about Afriana. This shows the subtle and most dangerous propaganda is being used by these say pilots to keep us apart. But there is light in the story. The Prince is sending communications as fast as he can gather information. Furthermore, said the Prince, in his tribe (the Aqua) the U. N. L. A. is solid and not one man dare to say anything against it. And furthermore advised all West Indians to join heart and hand in putting over the program of this organization, for they are anxious to see us come over and swell their ranks. On Monday morning, January 2 Freddie Robinson, brother of Miss Briette Robinson, second lady vicepresident of this division, met a most shocking death. This unfortunate young man works on the Norte Railer, as a brakman, and we ordered to go to Clego de Avila to take care of him. While executing these orders he met a nurse. The motor car was dersalled about a kilometer from its destination and Robinson's neck was broken. The superintendent, who was on the car, was seriously injured. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. Deceased was a member of G. S. & D. S. and the U N. I. A. JOSEPH A. TODD. General Secretary. Moron Province, Camagua, Cuba. MESSAGE FOR THE NEGRO WOMEN OF THE WORLD By MR.S. BETELLE MATTHEW Lady President Philadelphia Division Lady President Philadelphia Division Many resolutions are made at this time. Would you keep a resolution when it means the destiny of your children? When you consider that the redemption of Africa depends on the motherhood of the black women, I am sure the resolution $a$ am about to offer will be to you more sacred than your lives. Have you considered for a moment that these resolutions mean nothing to the movement while your acts and conduct in your home in the presence of your children teach the oppose? You talk race purity, and yet, by the white pictures on your walls, by the many calendars in your home with white faces on them, you are teaching your children to honor and idolize the other race. By the white dolls in the arms of your baby girls you are teaching them to love and honor white babies, and when these girls grow into womanhood naturally they will believe it more honorable to be the mothers of white babies than black babies. Africa is calling for you, oh, sisters, to bring the light! By the white tin soldiers in the hands of your little boys you are teaching them to be scars and slaves for the other race. You cannot talk race pride into the hearts of folks, it comes by instinct. Instincts are natural tendencies to act in certain ways which result from the inborn organization of the nervous system. Between the ages of three years and six the impression is made the easier and lasts the longest. All habits are formed at this age and instincts are made. It is the babies in the cradle who will be the true Garveyes of tomorrow. This depends upon the teaching of the mothers of today. It is hard to teach the truth when nearly every Sunday school paper and in every school-book your children learn the heroics. As the mother of Moses, surrounded by the teaching of Egypt, she, through it all, taught her son the true story of his people and of the God of his father, and by the time he had grown into manhood he refused to be called the son of Pharah's daughter. Resolve in your hearts that you will start the year to teach the instinct of Garveyism by removing everything from your home that will hinder this mighty tide of race building. Teach your children to love and honor their own black mothers and fathers, that your daughters will believe the highest joy is to love and honor their own black man, that your sons will behold no face as pure and as beautiful as the face of their own black women. This resolution kept just twelve short months will mean the success of the great program being put over by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League.

For all our interests are based upon a common purpose, that of the raid and successful advancement of our association. But to achieve that success we cannot without the co-operation of women. We know that women have been the success of every organization throughout the world whether churches, lodges, institutions or otherwise. With money and purpose together into one great power invincible, we can co-operate and we must; for if any of us fall at this important period of the development of the race, we will not attain that success which so rightly belongs to us. However, there will not be any failure—be sure we have gone too far to turn bank Falter we won't, though it may seem dark, the goal we cannot glimpse, yet with our faces towards the east and our eyes wide open, at the perp of the beautiful rays of the morning's rising sun, we will be ready to march forward with optimistic confidence to the goal of success. We have seen the way of progress and success. We have all stood together so far with our indomitable spirit and have accomplished a great deal. The only way we can accomplish anything for our common good is by sticking and pulling together. As I have said before, as we have stood together so far, by your help we mean to stand unto eternity. But we must continue sticking and pulling together for that one common cause we all desire: success of our Fatherland, Africa. We want each and everyone of our millions of women to put their shoulders to the wheel in one large get-together supreme effort and help us to complete the financing of our gigantic association and its allied corporations. It will be very simple for us at this awakened age to allow ourselves to be scattered and stuck in four corners of the world, looked upon with eyes of scorn, turned up noses, spoken of by slanderous lips, because we are powerless; and to lie contented and satisfied. Surely it is not a very difficult task for 50 per cent. of the women of this noble race of ours to stand up with eager eyes and out stretched hands to grapple the rope of this opportunity, and pull with even half of our energy. The prize 'o' be gained by such an effort and movement would mean more than enough for the emancipation of our down-trodden race. We have brain and executive ability at the head of affairs which has been demonstrated by the rapid advancement already made. It now only remains for your co-operation to reap the rich harvest of reward in process of time, which is awaiting us. As I have said money is necessary, not in small amounts, but in large quantities brought into our association and that quickly. The fight is now started, and we mean to fight, that this great Negra race be successfully established upon the earth that God has given us. So to you noble women I am appealing. Let us get together and lift the hand of our insuperable leader, that he be successful in putting this gigantic and matchless organization over which shall be the means of our power in the world: that power, that will compel respect and better treatment. My dear readers, I trust my appeal will not fall to inspire your dignity, for we must show the world that we are well alive and conscious of our responsibility of building, of making what ought to be. You readers of The Negro Press, you know how much we are beloved by those so-called supreme agents. Oh, keep in mind the ruthless tragedy published in our 24th issue of The Negro World, the greatest treatment administered by our beloved friends to our eight children in Faith; their mothers to be clean and virtuous, such think of this serenity, dear women, and see how much there is for us to do and which we ought to do quickly. Now, I believe if we continuously keep quiet at such acts, the stones some day are sure to cry out. All that is necessary for us to do is to get ourselves together, and we know that when we get in line our true racial men would surely follow. You know they would, regardless of consequences, and I am sure you will get the credit for the number of supporters contributed through your efforts. So now let us start to mobilize our family of four hundred millions. Think what that would mean to the race—four hundred million supporters! One-twentieth interceded, standing and pulling together, each and every one combining to conclude a common purpose of this kind, would be commendable. I remain, yours truly. Courage, fellow pilgrim! New courage take, and cheer. Through the clouds above us Light is breaking clear. New lessons ever bearing On our journey home— But Christ the promise gave us Good things are yet to come. Larger fields of labor doors set open In this Afro service joyfully we go until our redemption is accomplished. God the praise we will give. MRS. M. WALDRUN PITTS. New York City. THEY STICK; YEA, THEY MULTIPLY The arrest of the President General on January 13 has revealed a fact that is quite valuable to the student of the New Negro. In an organization numbering millions throughout the world, there has not come to our attention any cases of disloyalty as a result of this arrest. Rather there has been a greater coming together, a more determined front on the part of the membership to see that the program "goes over." Many who had looked on previously with indifference are now linking up with the association as members of the organization, been the guiding star of millions, bids fair to have his following doubled as a result of this arrest. How different this would have been a few years ago! Instead of the Negroes rallying to the cause of their leader, they would have been falling away. Truly the Negro has come to see the light and his future is written in the stars. In America, even among those not identified with the movement, the cry is for the success of Marcus Garvey against his enemies. The same spirit provals in other parts of the world, especially in Africa, where the name of Marcus Garvey is held sacred. The New Negro is in no mood to be trified with now. His cause is too just, his mission too divinous to a human being. Other black individuals and designing organizations. Somebody may pay and pay heavily for the part they have played in this affair. Marcus Garvey is the greatest benefactor given the world in modern times. Billy nations have for years been speaking of the "white man's burden" as regards the Negro. And now that Garvey is trying to eliminate the Negro as a "burden" and make him a respectable, contributing part of the human family, there are those who cannot afford it in his efforts. But easier they could stop the mighty onrush of the Atlantic than impede the new and awakened spirit of the New Negro who has walked with truth and learned his lesson well. Africa shall be redeemed; a race shall be free! ROBERT L. POSTON. NOW READY All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to send in their orders for the New Constitutions of the Organization as amended at the last Convention, to the Secretary-General's Office. By Order UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General NOTICE To All Divisions and Members of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION A copy of the records of all Divisions, Branchless Chapters and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been stolen from the Secretary-General's office by some one who was employed by the organization either as an officer, an employee or an agent.

Look and see the new communications. Send them and officers. BY ORDER UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General Romance and science are blended in a remarkable darwin in the story of the finding of the skull of a probiotic man burden under hundreds of tons of mineralized bones in the bottom of a Rhodesian cave. This skull sent to England by the Rhodesian representatives of a mining company on whose estate it was found, is now in the possession of Prof. Smith Woodward of South Kensington Museum. William P. Harris, lute chemist to the company, and the first news of its discovery was sent out to the world in two articles published in the Sunday Times of South Africa last September. Mr. Harris, who has, like most men of scientific training, some knowledge of prehistoric man, was quick to appreciate the importance of his find when the skull was recovered by blasting operations in the cave. He took photographs of it and believed upon the spot, which was 60 feet below water level. The discoverer is now in England and has brought with him bones of the wild animals found near the skull. Among important finds near the skull were two round stones, similar to the flint "hammer stone" found in Kent and other areas where prehistoric human remains and implements have been discovered. They have been examined by Professor Elliot Smith of London and other prehistoric human remains marked of pounding and are apparently of some heavy lionstone formation. The man of his family must have used such stones for pounding flesh or grain. "The amazing thing about the skull," said Professor Elliot Smith, "is its state of preservation. Unlike the fossilized, Gibraltar, Java and Pitladsun skulls, it has retained its structure, being preserved by mineral deposits which account for its shape. The first public exhibition of the skull was at a meeting of the Zoological Society on November 21, when it was shown to members and a discussion followed. Prof. Sir Arthur Keith of the Royal College of Surgeons, a great anthropologist, stated to a Daily Mail reporter that the Rhodian skull is "the most important thin skull in the world," and of the skull of a prehistoric woman in flint-bearing gravel in Sussex. "It is not a revelation," he said, "but the fulfilment of a prophecy. We hope that a link would be found between the Gibraltar skull and the Java skull, and it is here. It assists us to the conclusion that the prehistoric man whose skull was found in Gibraltar came originally from Africa. How did he get there? Probably by land at a time when the Sirials of Gibraltar did not exist. "Other discoveries may follow. In recent years the knowledge of the importance of these remains has become widespread and workmen engaged in excavations and working in gravel piles are on the lookout for such things. All prehistoric grave discoveries are im- important. We can now date a grave by things found in its occupation with it. They assist us in tracing the history of our race and the changes that have occurred in our country during Daly. "Everything has changed for our present civilization, and we have to care for our cat and the houses we live in. You cannot do these things and expect nothing to happen. Our present civilization is actually the greatest experiment ever tried upon the human race. What shall we become? Our ability of prophilistics remains may answer that question. We can find whence we have come, what changes have taken place in the human body, and we may live judge whatever we are going."—Oversaid Daly, Daily CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. D. A.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1922 blica de nuestra propia raza, la cual en esta época de luz y de adelanto ha de decidir quienes han sido, son y serán los verdaderos redentores amantes de la libertad. Emplezan Los D en Pro y en el Linchamie Los enemigos del Cristo le crucificaron por una ofensa política, segun aus acusaciones, y nunca le calificaron de ladrón porque hasta su presencia era superior a tal idea; los primitivos católicos profesaban odio al reformador Martin Luther y hacían uso de todo cuanto era humano e inhumano para evitar de que sus doctrinas influyeron en la mente de los cristianos, pero nunca fué calificado de ladrón; el gobierno británico privó de la vida a Robert Emmett porque este era devoto a la causa de la libertad de Irlanda, pero nunca fue calificado de ladrón; George Washington, el "rebelde" segun los ingleses, cuando tomó la espada en su diestra por la libertad de los Estados Unidos de America, nunca fué acusado de fraude o engaño; David Lloyd George opuesto tenazmente a la política del programa de Eamon de Valera por la libertad de su patria, nunca fué calificado de ladrón, apesar de haber vendido bonos de la libertad para Irlanda en los Estados Unidos de America, sin ninguna seguridad que los garantizara; ¿porque usar otros métodos con el Negro, cuando este persigue lo mismo que perseguían el Cristo, Luther, Emmett, Washington y de Valera? Sumidos en lo mas intimo de nuestro pensar conciente no hemos de culpar tanto a los demas como debemos de culparnos a s mismo, pues en nuestras propias filas tenemos elementos traidores a la raza y esto alienta a aquellos que nos tienen muy poco o ningun respeto; pero los masas concientes de nuestra raza negra saben que el programa de La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra no es un programa de explotación; es el de luchar por la libertad, por la verdadera emancipación del Negro en todas partes. Debemos estar preparados para contrarestar toda clase de controversias, toda clase de atropellos y a soportar toda clase de sinsabores en esta gran lucha por la independencia de nuestra patria. Ninguna gran causa humana ha triunfado sin sacrificios ni sin sufrimientos. Alguien ha sido siempre encarcelado, alguien ha sido siempre ejecutado, alguen ha sido siempre privado de sus derechos civiles. Por el hecho de que no redactamos las leyes, por el hecho de que no controlamos gobierno do quiera vivamos, nos es imposible proporcionarnos el medio por el cual podamos protejernos, evitando así hasta el ridículo, la mas leves de todas las injurias de que hemos sido victima. Hubo una época cuando los romanos se burlaban, maltrataban y encarcelaban a los británicos, ellos hacen lo mismo a otros; en un tiempo los alemanes se burlaban, maltrataban y encarcelaban a los franceses, ahora los franceses les pagan con la misma moneda; la historia se repite. El que hayamos sufrido vejaciones por años y años de parte de las otras razas no significa que hayamos de sufrirlas por siempre por la sencilla razon de que nuestra condición actual ha de someterse a un cambio por medio de nuestras propias energias y esfuerzos, cesando así las vejaciones de todas las edades por hallarnos entonces abilities para protejernos mutuamente. Estampemos en nuestras mentes estos actos inhumanos; escribámoslos en el libro del tiempo; que la historia de la Raza Negra hable de nuestros sufrimientos, para que nuestra generación futura, al hoyear sus páginas sangrientas, pueda guiarse propiamente el entrar en contacto con la humanidad en general. Nos place en extremo la demostración de sentimiento de los miembros de nuestra Organización, con motivo de los acontecimientos actuales en contra de la realización de los propósitos de la misma. Estas demostraciones nos convencen una vez mas de que el Negro del presente esta determinado a vencer todas las dificultades y obtáculos que se interpongan en su camino hacia la emancipación de los cuatro clentos millones de su raza. Cualesquiera que sean las dificultades que se nos presenten y dondequiera de que estas dimanen, no hemos de desmayar por un solo instante en la realización del gran propósito de todas las épocas; mientras mayor sea el número de dificultades, mayor ha de ser nuestro esfuerzo para vencerlas. Tenemos, debemos y hemos de triunfar a toda costa, en la persecusion de un mejor modus vivendi cuyos beneficios sean los hijos e hijas de Etiopia. La Horn de Redención al Llegado. ¿Debemos Adelantar o Debemos Retroceder? Como George Washington, Emano de Valern y Martin Luther, el Hon. Marcus Garvey es um "Rebelde" Dispuesto a Morir si Necesario Fuera, Por la Vindicación de la Causn Africana. Los Judas Iscariotes Reaparecen Hemos llegado al cruce en el camino de nuestro destino y por un momento el progreso se detiene para estudiar la altuación actual de nuestra Organización, altuación de disgusto creada por los Judas Iscariotes de judas las ciencias, y así decidir nuestro adelanto o nuestro retroceso. Todo elemento de criterio y amante de libertad de nuestra raza está compenetrado de que solamente existe all presente entre los pueblos negros del mundo un ideal el cual ha llamado la atención de la humanidad en general de un modo extraordinario. Tal ideal es el propósito de La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Elementos de nuestra propia y de otras razas han venido dirigiendo los destinos del Negro y beneficiandose de ello por centenares de años, especialmente durante la ultima mitad del presente siglo. La política del mundo en las pasado ha sido la de engañar, esclavizar y explotar al Negro y la misma política trata de practicarse aun, valleondose para ello de la falta de sentido comun de que carecen clerto número de elementos de nuestra propia raza. Nuestra Organización y sus propósitos ha hecho despertar del profundo letargo en que dormian a un gran número de elementos de nuestra raza negra, demostrando un medio de vida mas elevado, un medio de vida de verdadera libertad, un medio de vida de verdadera democracia, beneficados de que debe disfrutar la humanidad en general. Esta nueva actitud y determinación de ser libres, propagada por el universo, ha causado gran alarma. Se creyó a principio una mera broma el que los Negros hablaran de libertad, derechos humanos, democracia y un Africa independiente, pero la ola del sentimiento público ha inundado y refrescado el terreno que hemos de cultivar en el cual hemos de recoger el fruto, producto de nuestra labor. En estos tiempos encontramos reconcentrados alrededor de La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra una combinación de hombres, organizaciones y gobiernos coloniales, todos buscando, de un modo o de otro, un medio por el cual puede conseguir la destrucción del mas grande de los ideales establecido por Negros y para Negros. Debemos entender claramente que esta es nuestra gran y única oportunidad para preparar un golpe universal en persecusión de una verdadera libertad; emancipación de esclavitud industrial, política y educativa. La raza que permita que se le subyugue en este perodo de reorganización universal, tendrá que soportarlo por quinientos años mas y probablemente por tiempo indefinido. Esta es la hora, esta es la época, este es el día en una fodos los pueblos por medio de organización deben levantarse hacia un plano humano mas elevado, de modo que no puedan ser perturbados por aquellos que ascendieron con anticipación a las cuspides de sus aspiraciones. Segun la condición actual de la humanidad en sus distintas divisiones, los grupos débiles han de ser subyugados y explotados por y para beneficio de los grupos fuertes y debemos prepararnos para contraestar esto peligro. Debemos recordar que fuimos esclavizados en elerta ocación porque éramos débiles; si no nos organizamos es posible que se nos esclavice de nuevo. Solamente existe en el mundo una organización que pueda salvararnos de retroceder a la condición de la cual fijamos sacados hace mas de cincuenta años. Tal organización es La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Lo demuestra el hecho de que individualidades y organizacións "con algún poder" operaron y operan aún en contra de nuestra Organización con mas altífica que el que usaron los poderes centrales durante la última guerra sangriente, sin haber podido conseguir los resultados que ellos annecen. El Linchamliento es un Asesinato Cinco c'oportanteamente convivimos de un grupo de linhadores inm sido sentenciados en la ciudad de Oklahoma a condenas perpetuas en la penitenciaria. El linhamiento en que tomaron parte no fue en represión del "crimen usual" pero este fue tan proximo al "crimen usual" como suelen se habitualmente tales atentados, siendo la victima un negro y los perpetradores blancos. Bajas las leyes de todos los estados el linhamiento no es ni más ni menos que asesinado, en el caso presente el estado aplicado su ley sin miedo ni favoritismo. Durante la ultima contenda sangrient, cuando los podares centrales de un lado y los poderes allados del otro se declararon la guerra, los fuerzas de oposición y destrucción eran visibles, facilitándose así los medios de nasu su poder estratégico militar de acuerdo con su ability para executarlo. Pero nuestra lucha con individualidades y organizaciones "con algun poder" es una guerra de "emhostada" haciendo imposible a todos y cada una de los miembros de este gran movimiento el conocer y saber donde nuestros enemigos se encuentren. Si la energia que se desperdicia para la cucer del lichimanton un crimen federal fuera approchada a obtener una observancia semejante de las teyes existentes en todas partes, podía ahorrarse al pals gastro y la molestia de una nueva ley intitul enbaterando los derechos de los estudios. La observancia de una ley en citalquier comunidad er más genos dependiente del sentimiento local, cualquier que se el lugar que se laquea. Pero la penalidad para el asesinato es la misma, penalidad prescripción para el asesinato, y un jumado que dojara de encierería Necesitamos gulan en esta contienda; tenemos que gulados a los pintos estrategicos de nuestros enemigos en esta campaña y luego de haber reconocido y estudiado el mismo de acalón, alrigir nuestro canones con certza la instrucción. Jengaos con en este época actual elementos de nuestro progla vazá que con phagón y protejidos paran que continen al propaganda en cuenta de nuestra Organización. Filas presentan un programa cual identico al nuestro, que muestra nuestra programa "optrigido" y "disminulido" gulados de esta mano poner en contención la opinión pú un tribunal del estado no sentenciaria más probablemente bajo un juez federal. Lejos de ser una garantía de observancia de la ley, la centralización del gobierno crea nuevas brechas al hacer necesario el funcionamiento de la organization de justicia a larga distancia. Un Representante Irrespetuoso WASHINGTON. Enero 25 — En la galería de la camara de representantes se predujo una tumultuosa demostración en favor del proyecto de ley contra el linchamiento presentado por el representante Dyer habilidó reunido más de un centenar de Negros para escuchar su lectura. El tumultu alcanzó tales proporciones que el sargento de armas tropezó con grandes difefultudes para dominarlo y estalló en el momento en que el representante republicano por Wisconsin. Mr. Coppier, recitado las apreciaciones veridas por el representante Sisson, deniñó por Mississippi, al desir este que "el dominio de las much-dumbres terminaría, cuando esos canallas dejen de extragular las muiles blancas del out." Empiezan Los Debates en la Cámara de Representantes en Pro y en Contra Del "Bill" Dyer el Cual Prohíba el Linchamiento en Los Estados Unidos—El Representante Por el Estado de Nueva York, Hon. Martin C. Ansorge Pronunciía un Elocuente Discurso en Pro, Illustrando Con Hechos, Practicados en Distintas Ocaciones La raza negra ha venido sufriendo desde hace trescientos años, todas las calamidades e injusticia de una sociedad corripida, y es por eso que los cuatro cientos millones de miembros de la raza negra havidia, por medio de la asociación y denomada, traatan de cooperar con el objeto, de revindicar esos derechos usurpados y curar el malestar de nuestra sociedad y aunque poco en realidad se ha conseguido hasta ahora en el terreno de la práctica, ha habido por lo menos el deseo, que no es poco, y la idea se ha difundido y generalizado, lo cual es mucho. La asociación es magna y el trabajo largo y rudo. pero a nosotros nos asusita ni el tiempo ni los esfuerzos que hay que enplar para conseuirlo. Tenemos formado un nucleo de 400,000,00 de hombres y creemos que aumentara poco a poco, agregandose nuevos elementos pues así procede la naturnaurea en toda formación. Sondeando un poco el conjunto social, las diferentes castas de ricos y pobre, comprendernos como surgen estos últimos de entre la nucledumbre, con la voluntad firmemente dirigida un objeto cualquiera que sea, las manos en alto, el cerebro encendido, la perseverancia en el alma. Tal vez se diga que nosotros los Negros no hemos tenido jamas un Newton, o Pástre. A esta objeción contestaremos que preciaba tener en cuenta el factor social. Tampoco en tiempos de Ramés el Grande habia tenido Grecia los Aristóteles y los Hiparcos, sin que ese prueba que la fama que hablaba aquel país no estuviese en condiciones de pre- El Hon Martín C. Ansorge, representante al Congreso por el estado de Nuevo York, al tomar suturno en defensa del "Bill" Dyer el cual prohibe el linchamiento en los Estados Unidos, se expresó en los siguientes terminos. Señor Presidente y Miembros del Congreso Doce millones de Negros americanos patriotas y mayor número de millones de Blancos abrigan la ferviente esperanza de que el Congreso de los Estados Unidos de America vote una ley que prohiba el linchamiento, borrando así para siempre esa gran mancha en las páginas de la historia americana. La estadística de los lichinamientos en este pais durante los treinta y tres ultimos años nos causan pavor. Durante dicho periodo 3,432 personas han sido lichinadas, de los cuales 2,713 eran Negro americanos y entre ellos 52 mujeres. En 1921 huberon sesenta victimas, de las cuales 55 fueron Negros y una de ellas mujer Aunque el lichinamiento no puede circumbarse a ninguna localidad determinada, la parte Sur de los Estados Undidos tiene el mayor por ciento de esta calamidad Del 1889-1918, como lo ha manifestado el representante por Ohio, 2,834 personas fueron lichinadas en el Sur, distinguiendose Georgia con 386 casos y Mississippi con 375. Los 60 casos de lichinamiento registrados durante el año 1921, llevaron a cabo también en la parte Sur de este pais. Donde quera que se efectuan estos atropellos esta demostrado que es la labor de un grupo de irresponsables, y tales actos bochornosons son contratos al misto y deseo de la buena gente de la comunidad en la cual se realizan. El noventa y nueve por ciento de estos casos son asesinatos cometidos cobardemente donde una criatura inocente e indefensa, viene a ser la victima de una turbia furiosa y armada, la cual no da cuartel al individuo sentencido por ella, en su afan de destrucción El hecho de que el mayor por ciento de las victimas corresponde a los Negros y el mayor numero de inchamentos llevase a cabo en el Sur, nos hace llegar a la conclución que existe alla en ella parte del pass un prejuicio muy intenso en contra del Negro y como consecuencia de ello no se le provee de la protección adecuada que la lev determina Estoy en la completa seguridad de que se presentaran aquí en esta Camara o ante la Corte Suprena, pruebs que traten de destruir m argumentacion, demostrando que el Negro en el Sur tiene la misma protección que el hombre blanco y que la justicia ampara por guía a ambos, de acuerdo con la emmenda Catorre de la Constitucion Yo mantengo, que despues de los muchos casos que sirven de testo mono en el campo de la práctica entiendo que protección de la ley por igual significa garantía adecuada sin distinguen alguno a la naturalez del crime v las condiciones del autor del mismo los cuales mercen toda equidad dentro de la ley, si tal garantía no es igual para Negros y para Blancos, entonces la emmenda constitucional antes dicha ha fracasado Son muchos los casos en que el Negro delincuente se le la nega la protección de las leves. Eu muchos estados los instudadores del lucha chamento, después de haber cometido sus crimenes no han sido cacados. El objeto del castigo bajo nuestro sistema legal y bajo muestra jurprudencia no es la venganza al acto seria detestable. El haber castigado a los culpables por tales ofensas cometidas, hubiese evitado otros lichamientos, por temor al castigo severo de la lev. Es el objeto de este proyecto de lev. el conseigur protección por el castigo que se infiltra a los culpables, siendo este el principal respecto de mucho de nuestros estados haber fracasado las lastimatos. Los linhamientos han traspasado la va significa local, un linhamiento en Georgia tiene sus efectos en New York, Boston, Chicago y San Louis, haciendo que los ciudadanos de todo el país se alarmen por las desafes, contrarios al orden y a la ley establecida. Los efectos que se sienten son contrarios a los principios intentados a detener. El linhamiento ha venido a ser nacional en su influencia morbosa, y hasta internacional cuando ciudadanos extranjeros han sido las victimas de tales abusos. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos ha pagado mas de occhientes mil dqlars por indemnización de los crímenes cometidos por turbas americanas sobre ciudadanos indefenses de otros países El siguiente caso illustra la intensidad de prejuicio existente en la región sur de nuestro territorio en que una vez mas-jo abominable del lichamiento ha dejado rastros muy marcados do la democracia que tinte proclamamos, ha recibido una mancha mas que la eclipse ante el mundo civilizado. El "Memphis Press" (Teen.) del jueves 27 de Enero de 1921 lafuiente lo siguiente. Mas de quinientas personas se detuvieron a prescrien la escena inhumana de ver queman paulatinamente a un Negro. Una cuantas mujeres de entre aquella multitud dirigran el acto de inquisición para vengar la muerte de O. T. Craig y su hija Mrs. C. O. W. Williams. Ni una mas se alzó la victima a pedir misericordia, apear de sufrir la muerte mas horrible e imaginable. El Negro estaba encadenado a un tronco de madera, mientras la turba colocaba pequeños montes de hojas secas alrededor de sus pies. Empaparon con gasolina todas las hojas y la sentencia de muerte tomó su curso. Poco a poco fue el curo del Negro quemandose, acercandose asi y más ha mas la muerte. A cada minute nuevo combustible de hojas era arrojado a la piara funeral, hasta que las llamas pasaron la cintura del Negro. Cuando la flama empezo a quenar su abdomen. un miembro de la turba se adelantó y saturo el resto del curo de la victima con gasolina.
