The Negro World

The Independent Weekly The Voice of the Amached Negro The Negro World A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race FOUR HUNDRED MILLION NEGROES TO GET THE U. N. I. A. AND PUSH IT OVE VOL. XII. No. 2 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The hour has come for universal action on the part of each and everyone of us in propogating the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Just at this time a great effort is being made to undermine the nationalistic hopes as well as the industrial, commercial, and social aspirations of our race, and if we do not line up our forces the more, it is most reasonable to assume that these forces of evil will make a terrible inroad into our plans of liberty. Running True to Form I have an abiding faith and confidence in the four hundred millions of people, who, having passed through the hardships and difficulties of the past, are determined that nothing in the world shall deter them in their hope for, and their determination of, winning a better place in the affairs of men. We are in my way alarmed or disappointed over what the enemies have done in trying to create embarrassment for our movement just at this time. As the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I fully calculated that the time would come when the evil designs of our enemies would work themselves out to our embarrassment, but it has always been my faith that we could rise above every handicap, every barrier, every embarrassment which would be placed in the way. Now, we are called to the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green; it is a test of the manhood that we are made of, whether we are worthy to carry this great cause to victory, or whether we are to go down to defeat before the united forces of the evil ones of the world. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has determined that come weal, come woe, the cause of the Negro shall be carried to the fullest extreme. There is no disappointment, I say there is no discouragement, there is but hope. The trouble inflicted upon the Black Star Line, as an auxiliary of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is but a natural consequence of the experience that must be encountered in perfecting the great plans by which we shall ultimately win the day for our complete freedom. Exaggerating Things A great deal of noise is being made over the infinitesimal matter that has caused the embarrassment of the Black Star Line, but we must rise above such things, we must rise above disappointment of all kinds, if we are to achieve the objective. I hardly believe there is one Negro in the world who has more invested in the Black Star Line than I have, I hardly believe there is one Negro in the world who has more invested in the Universal Negro Improvement Association than I have, all my earnings are invested in this great movement, but at no time do I feel in any way afraid of the consequence, because I have enough faith and confidence in myself and in my race to believe that ultimately we will triumph, ultimately we will be victorious, at which time all of us will enjoy the fruits of our labor. When it is considered that our organization is just about four and a half years old in the United States of America, and that the Black Star Line is just about three years old, you will readily admit that we have not yet given our movement a real chance to prove itself, and these little embarrassments, these little difficulties placed in our way by paid men of our own race and the enemies, will only act as stepping stones to the accomplishing of greater things. They talk about embarrassing the Black Star Line. We shall yet see a Black Star Line with her hundreds of ships, sailing the seven seas, so long as man is man and God is God, so long as man is given the domination of this world, 400,000,000 of us Negro men, black men, shall bring into existence a line of steamships that shall belt the world. It is good that our experience has not been a very costly one, but just one that has probably caused us to have lost through the dishonesty and machinations of evil ones a few hundred thousand dollars, but what of a few hundred thousand dollars to the accomplishment of the great work that must be done? It costs the United States Government hundreds of millions of dollars annually to keep itself intact, it costs the 60,000,000 people of England hundreds of millions of dollars annually to keep the country in proper order, it costs the French people billions of francs annually to their country protected, even hundreds of millions of dollars annually for the safety of the 60,000,000 Japanese, then what must we say when we have spent just a couple hundred thousand dollars for the bringing into existence of an ideal that is dear to our hearts, the ideal of universal liberay among 400,000,000 Negroes? Have we lost anything? I answer, absolutely nothing in comparison to what it means to others to win their liberty, to win freedom, to be industrially, commercially, politically independent. On the Look-Out No Negro who is a man has lost one bit of hope; but, on the contrary, he has redoubled his energy, his confidence, the more that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association may be put over, and, men, we are going to put it over with a vengeance. We are going to prove to the world that the Negro has reached the point where he cannot be turned or pushed back, but he shall demand the right to go forward. We are going forward in spite of the opposition of the legions of hell. We are going forward in spite of the embarrassments and difficulties placed in the way; we are going forward because we have accepted the High Omnipotent as our guide, and Jesus our Savior as our Standard-bearer, and wheresoever they lead four hundred million of us shall follow. The object is the freedom of Africa, this object of ours is causing consternation throughout the world. European nations are trembling, they are fearful of the outcome of this determination of the Negro peoples of the world under the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Have you not read the signs of the times? Have you not heard the news? This is the latest bit of news from South Africa: "JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, February 17—Two hundred striking natives went on the warpath at Fordsburg today attacking the European colony. They were dispersed by police and forty arrested." Now you have before you the cause of this great opposition against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have forced and have rung the changes to such an extent that even in the heart of Africa, where our people were once scared and frightened out of their very wits, we see now a NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922 ILLION NEGROES T I. A. AND PUSH I Abiding Faith and Confidence in Race Natives of South Africa on Strike Demonstrating Their satisfaction White Race Had Traitor in America, Judas Betrayed Christ, Negroes Will Also Be Traitors to Themselves, but Just Cause Will Triumph manifestation of true manhood and determination that they shall be free. The people who are opposing us are watching every step and they are noting every change in the attitude of the Negro, and all over Africa we see the open manifestation that Africa shall be the land of the Africans and the natives making effort to throw off the yoke of their oppressors. If the Universal Negro Improvement Association has gained no greater success, this alone is enough to justify its experience, but, men, take a stock of what has happened within the last four years, and you will readily admit that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has worked wonders, and has done more for the Negro peoples of the world than any other organization in the last five hundred years. The work that has been done by us is worth billions and billions of dollars. But with what have we done it? With the paltry dollars and cents that you have given us and placed at our command, and even though some of the villains of our own race have robbed and exploited us of the little you have contributed, yet with the little at our disposal we have been able to belt the whole world and unite the scattered race with the sentiment of "Africa for the Africans," those at home and those abroad." We can satisfy ourselves that in another short while we shall see the realization of our hopes. Africa is awakened, but we must keep up the agitation, we must perfect the organization, so that all of us can be of one mind, and that in the future, when one African strikes four hundred milloins of us will strike at the same time for the freedom of our country. You will realize men that our program is not in opposition to any other race, that the object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not to be hostile to any other race. We love the great white race, we love the great yellow race, but we also love ourselves. We love to see white men enjoying freedom and liberty in their own country; we love to see yellow men enjoying freedom and liberty in their own country, but we also love to see ourselves enjoying freedom and liberty in our own country, and Africa indisputably belongs to the Negro peoples of the world. It is our only heritage, our only right, and the time has come when we must organize for the redemption of that land, and if needs be, we must make up our minds to fight and die, that our country be redeemed. An Evolutionary World Liberal minded men of other races will not begrudge this new desire of the Negro, because all men of thought and learning know that the world in which we live is undergoing changes, and that the race and nation that does not keep up with the changes of the time, will be cast off and perish in the oblivion of nothingness in the near future, hence it is up to us all, whether we be Irish, Hindus, Egyptians, Jews or Negroes, to fight for a place in the political sun of the world. The Jew fights for the restoration of Palestine; the Irish fights for the liberation of Ireland; the Indian fights for the emancipation of his country, the Egyptian is determined that Egypt shall be free, and similarly four hundred million Negroes of the world are determind that Africa shall be free from the domination of alien powers; but it is natural also to expect that these alien powers will do everything in their power to prevent the Negro peoples of the world, freeing Africa from their domination, and when we have these little embarrassments, as in the case of the Black Star Line, which we can trace back to the machinations of the enemy, we will naturally not be disappointed and disheartened, because you must remember "everything is fair in love and war." The only painful thing is that they have used our own people to bring about this embarrassment in our movement, but we have another consolation that every race and nation has had its traitors, even this great country wherein we live today, when she was struggling for freedom, nurtured a traiter, because she had Benedict Arnold. We therefore might apprise ourselves of the fact that we may expect traitors who will make efforts to destroy us on behalf of the enemy: yes, even as Judas sought to destroy his Christ, so as to down the great Christian religion, so we will have traitors who will try to betray us for the downfall of our great cause, but we will remember that every cause that is righteous is bound to live. Let our foundation be based upon righteousness, and nothing in the world can interfere with our success. Remember men, that this is not the hour for discouragement, this the hour for renewed energy and determination, and renewed confidence. As for me, I have cut out one course in life, and that is, I shall go forward, upward and onward, until I see the realization of a free and redeemed motherland. It is little that each and every one of us can do, to work, and if needs be, die for this cause, the cause of liberty is sweet, it is dear, and if it must be purchased, some of us are prepared to purchase it with the last drop of our blood. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is preparing a program that will place us in a position in another few years, far in advance of the times, and which shall lift us out of the embarrassing environments in which we live. All that you have to do is to stick solidly by this movement, and under all circumstances and conditions work with it, and if needs be, die for it. The Determination of a Race Let us prepare now for our great international convention of August. Let us ring the changes throughout the world. Let us work so now that in August we will show to the world how determined Negroes are; yes, we want at this time every Negro community in the world to be represented at our third international convention. We want every Negro in the world to know of this bigger program, because at that convention we are going to bring changes which will re-echo around the world. Nothing can happen, men, believe that from now on permanently interfere with and endanger the success of your movement." A lot of all remember that you are men. God created you man, place 1,600,000,000 men you here; you have a right here, you have a place here. If you have been prived of that place it is for you to find it, discover it, and hold it. Four hundred millions of us are determined that we shall find our home, we shall hold their homeland and make of it a mighty nation. I cannot imagine that we could for one minute think of losing hope, losing confidence; it is better that you die than to encourage such a thought for one minute. Four hundred million men, women and children to lose hope because some little enemy, some little plotter destroys us, embarrass you, and because you lose a couple hundred illusion and delusion with the idea that you will become disorganized and discouraged. I am everywhere that you talk about discouragement. Even if we had lost $10,000,000,000 it would be just time for us to start anew and say that the work must be done, but we have not lost much, even though we have been robbed and exploited by our own, and the pain is deep, but let me say, this must be an inspiration to go forward and the world know that nothing can stop you; only God in His great Providence can intervene and prevent the ultimate success of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Any opposition that comes from man is that a stepping stone to your ultimate success. Let me say to you again that anything that man has done you must do. Remember there is no master, remember that there is no superior than that all of us were created out of the same mould in the image and likeness of God our Creator. What is good for one man is good for another, what is good for our race is good for another, what is good for one nation is good for another, what is good for Europe is good for Africa, what is good for Asia is good for Africa. You will understand also that nothing in the world can disapoint me, nothing in the world can embarrass me, no jails, no gallows, no electrocution, and no death, can scare me, can deter me. I re-echo the words of Haitian Father Pierre lertery or give me death." That should be, your determination also; so I hope that 400,000,000 of you will take on renewed courage to think of you in Africa. I may hold to your faith, fight on the more, do not yield, although they may imprison forty of you out of two hundred, although they may fall in prison of you right on. The greater the persecution the greater will be the victory. Men of America, the more they demoralize you the more together; men of the West Indies, the more they try to discourage you by publishing untrue statements about the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I say let there be a further determination on your part to carry the colony of the Red, the Black and the Green to victory. You know well their plans, you know well their machinations, you know well their propaganda; it is well laid and far flung, but because we know this we are prepared for it. Pay no attention to what they say, pay no attention to what they do. Let them send a dozen of us to jail, kill a dozen of us, this is only a stepping stone to the accomplishing of greater things. Be not afraid, men, man can do you nothing; anything that is done in you is done by yourselves. Man is your equal, and you have no right to allow man to do you more than you will do to him. It may be true that today a certain type of man is in power, but that has been the way of all human history. Several thousand years ago the black man was in power, several hundred years ago the yellow man was in power, today the white man is in power. Once upon a time when the black man was the dispenser of civilization, when he was a leader in art and science, the white man was but a cave man, naked, a barbarian, a savage. The black man lost his power, and the white man, by process of evolution, lifted himself to a new eminence among men, and today we see him at the height of his own power. So also will the scale balance itself once more, and in the balancing of this great human scale we cannot tell who will be on top and who will be beneath tomorrow. All that I can advise is that 400,000,000 of us keep together until we have accomplished that which we desire. The Flag Must Not Fall! Again I appeal to you, send your support right away to the University Negro Improvement Association, 66 West 185th Street, New York City, and enable us to carry out this program. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Buffalo, N. Y., February 23, 1929. P. S.—In my first page article of last week it enumerated that 250 America for Central Amrelex and the West Indies on February 23, 1929. It should have read February 23, 1929. VAST CROWD JAMS LIBERTY HALL AT SUNDAY NIGHT MEETING, IN ABSENCE OF HON. MARCUS GARVEY, EXHIBITING AT MOST IMPORTANT TIME UNPRECEDENTED SPIRIT OF LOYALTY TO LEADER OF GREAT MOVEMENT LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 1922 - An announcement of a thoroughly organized movement is always seen whenever, in the absence of its leader, the followers remain true and loyal and the work goes on as before. Such may be said of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as evidenced here tonight by the great throng of people that filled Liberty Hall, jamming it to the doors, while Marcus Garvey, its peerless leader, was in Buffalo, hundreds of miles away. Accustomed every Sunday night to hearing his clarion voice in behalf of the Negro people of the world, and always eager to hear his burning words of eloquence and to be moved by his resistless logic, the members and friends of the association who gathered tonight in the absence of their idol, showed how they can be true and loyal as much while he was away as when he is present. Prof. Wm. H. Ferris, the Assistant President-General occupied the chair, and introduced the speakers. Though not gifted with the powers of a presiding officer as Marcus Garvey, the able and learned editor of the Negro World presided with becoming dignity and grace, aided by Mr. G. E. Carter, assistant to the President-General Mr. Garvey, it was announced, was in Buffalo in the interests of the association, when he was expected to return in the morning to take up the work that awaits him at his office in the headquarters building, and that he will be well pleased with the good results shown at Liberty Hall tonight, in point of attendance and finances, no one need doubt. This unprecedented evidence of loyalty shown tonight by the people is proof of the soundness of the organization and a convincing answer, to critics and enemies of the movement that because of anything that may happen or take place in the near future that the Universal Negro Improvement Association or any of its allied organizations is about to crumble. The people making up this great movement, it appears, are determined, now more than ever before, that it shall continue to go on, that nothing shall be allowed to disrupt it come what may; that its principles for the industrial, commercial and political development and expansion of the Negro peoples of the world shall be propagated and disseminated with still greater vigor and thoroughness, and that nothing shall discourage its leaders and members and followers in ultimately putting over completely its programme of "Africa for the Africans." Mr. R. L. Poston, Second Assistant Secretary General, was the first speaker and he told of his recent visit and travel to and travel through the State of New Jersey in the interest of the U N L. A., accompanied by Dr. Gibson. He was struck by the enthusiasm of the audiences he addressed on his trip and their generous response to appeals for financial aid to help the cause. The loyalty of the members of the U N L. A., not only in New Jersey, but in New York and elsewhere, is wonderful, greater even than the loyalty of the people of India to the great leader Mahatma Gandhi. A new speaker was Mr W. S. Burke, a graduate of Howard University and special assistant to the Secretary General. Mr. Burke followed Mr. Poston and made a favorable impression. He is an effective speaker, polished and earnest. He spoke on racial consciousness, which all the weaker races are beginning to manifest, and that it is this consciousness of race destiny that is stirring the world and causing such races as the East Indians, the Chinese, the Irish and others to find their true place in the world. In like manner the Negroes of the world have awakened to their racial consciousness, and, with the aspirations this creates and the new desires it instillia, they are seeking their development and advancement and will not cease their activities in this direction until their goal has been achieved. He pointed out that none of the peoples of the countries of Europe would be respected anywhere in the world if they did not have behind them a nation and government of their own to protect them and their interests. So, the black man must create a nation and government of his own if he would command the respect of other nations and other peoples. Mr. G. B. Carter on being introduced was given the twofold duty of making a speech and raising the offering. He was very successful in both office. He had just returned, he said, from a first trip to Jersey City, where he delivered an address and whence he brought hold a substantial financial indication of the quality of the people over there by the same, so that he had no prepared speech. Moreover, he delivered an address of "The Vacant Chair," showing that this chair, in which sat from time to time, since the great leaders of the state, had been occupied first by Fredrick B. Browne, then by Bockar T. W. W. B. B. Du Dois and finally by the Hon. Marvin Gorvey. He answered what each had tried to accomplish, and the measure of success was the most impressive. The comparisons were the most impressive. Marvin Gorvey, however, or whatever, had the greatest influence on them all—the video of the into one solid whole under the banner of the U. N. I. A. and that the realization of that ideal and the triumph of the cause of this great movement will be the means of establishing real happiness for the blackman and the according to him of proper respect and just treatment the world over. Proof Ferris himself delivered a short address, which closed the meeting, immediately prior to which Mr H V Plummer publicly director, read some announcements for the week of particular importance to members of the association A program of music was tendered in the opening that gave delight and enjoyment to everyone present. Misses Green and I requiant gave a vocal duet, Miss Ravella Hughes sang a solo, as also Miss Ehel Collins Mr J H Vigal, tenor was a soloist while the choir, under the direction of Prof Arnold J Ford and the band, under Prof. Iales, contributed their part, as usual. Mon. R. L. Poston Speaks Hon R. L. Poston Assistant Secretary-General, was the first speaker having recently returned from a speaking tour in the State of New Jersey, whither he had been assigned by the President-General, Mr. Poston gave glowing reports of the unabating interest manifested by the people of the State of New Jersey in the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. "I believe," said he, "that the trip has been a deal of help to me physically; certainly I received much mental food on that trip. I have been very much helped spiritually." Wherever I have gone throughout the State of New Jersey I have seen the spirit of unity not excelled in any division that I have ever visited, not even excluding our own New York Liberty Hall I found that everywhere the people are cemented and I found that the cowardly, sneaking, low-down scoundrels of the race are fast being trampled under the feet of the determined and well-meaning people of the race. Wherever I have gone large and enthusiastic audiences have groeted us, and whenever we have made an appeal for finances we have found them rallying to the cause and giving until they felt it. The sacrifice that the people are making throughout the country for this movement is an indication to me that Negroes are in earnest and to the man that stands between them and their sunlight, it is: "One side, brother, or a leg off" (Appalachian and laughter.) That attitude seemed to be pervading the very spirit of the New Negro and that man who values his existence must not stand between us and our goal. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has done splendidly is the evidence that we have had thus far, and I want, on behalf of His Excellency the President-General of this organization, to congratulate you for the splendid stand you have taken in everything that means for the good of this splendid organization. We feel now as ever, that we can bank upon you to a man to do your duty by the only organization under whose banner we will secure absolute freedom. Say what you want to, there is not another organization in the world preaching the doctrine as preached by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is no substitute in the world; there will not be another; there cannot. It rests with you and me to see that the principles as outlined and given to the world by the greatest living Negro (His Excellency, Hon. Maruus Garvoy) are carried into effect. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is always certain of its grounds because we have always been right. As I traveled throughout the State of New Jersey I was convinced of this one thing—that even Gandhi, the great Indian leader, has not the loyal followers that His Excellency, Maruus Garvoy has. (Applause.) MR. W. & BURKE SPEAKS MR. W. & BURKE SPEAKS Mr. W. & Burke, a new speaker in Liberty Hall said he doubted very seriously whether there was a realization of the racial consciousness that has gone abroad in the minds of Negroes wherever they may be found. This racial consciousness, he declared, was not strange; was not peculiar; was not something different from that which any other race has. Four years ago England had a price upon the head of the present President of Ireland and this same man today is at the head of the Irish nation. Whenever any people by friction, by hard wear and usage break down under a load they begin to wonder about themselves, and why should we not wander about ourselves.

In them found it necessary to have the American museuro in the Punjab in 1913. The trouble occasion did not go unchallenged in this country because every news column carried evidence of the fact that the civilized world was alive to the great injury that had been inflicted upon a defenseless people or their own home. This same thing has gone out to the Negroes and today you will not only find in Liberty Hall New York city, a group of people interested in the U.N. A short story but you will find all over the world Negroes who are accruing to the top of their votes, "Africa for the Africans". And why should not Negroes scream "Africa for the Africans"? Is there a man or woman, the speaker inquired, within the sound of my voice who does not owe allegiance to his motherland? If there is a dark skinned individual in this audience, he was snatched or else his amostra was snatched from the bosom of Africa and transplanted in the Western Hemisphere. If Africa is not your mother land, he added, pray for me where is your home? Whence came the color whence came the hair, whence came the countenance of the face? We have gotten to the point where we are tired of carrying the burden of the world; we are tired of carrying the white man's burden and we are now prepared to put down the loot and take up our own, so today we are carrying the great burden of Africa for the Africans. Continuing, Mr Burke said, "As I look upon you tonight I am immensely pleased to think that I see before me the nucleus of a sovereign state, and until that state assumes its rightful position upon that dark Content of which we know so little you will never receive equality and justice. I want you to understand that if it were not for British sovereignty, whenever an Englishman comes to this country he would be accorded just about a much courtesy as a dog. If a Frenchman should land in America, and France was a decrepit nation inhabited by savages, how much attention do you think the American Government would pay to a Frenchman? If an Italian was to land in this country and there was no Italian government behind him, how much attention do you suppose the people at Washington into whose hands you have put the power of self-determination, would pay to that Italian? All these points point to and are attributed to sovereignty. England, France and Italy are national states, more so they are international in their scope. Wherever an Italian goes and anybody interferes with him, you will hear from the government at home, but, my friends, what about the black man? They say we have a state in Liberia, but it looks to me as if the state of Liberia, a state of Liberians. A beginning can be made there and the day when Negroes throughout the world plan in Africa a state that is able to protect Negroes and actually identifies itself as a Negro state and proclaims to the world that anyone who interfores with the Negro invites the wrath of that Negro state until that day comes you shall never be respected by the world. There are masses of people all over the world today discussing the problem of the black man, but the only salvation that I can see for the Negro is to identify himself with the only flag, that flag of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applause.) If there is any other flag on the face of the earth which the Negro preclaims, I would like to be told about it. As long as the Red, the Black and the Green waves over the Negroes on this earth so long will I owe my allegiance to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) MR. CARTER SPEAKS Mr. C. E. Carter, vice-president of the New York local of the U. N. I. A. and assistant to the President-General, was called upon to speak. He said that he had just returned from a first trip to Jersey City, where he was made to feel encouraged by the spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm shown on the part of the colored people of that city in the cause and the principles of the U. N. I. A. Evidence of this was proven by a very substantial contribution of money they had given him to help the cause, which money he had brought back with him If in any other of all the things he would be, He would not want it. Here we have a setting of the life of the man who came upon the life he had no control over which he had no control over the white matter in art was not in his hands for what in the mind to touch the throat of the chamber, and he to be the man who has fallen to the other side of this man the had not tried what it was to go to the intent of his people, and we will not forget his own way and the destiny to bring to the man whom five hundred times is an American, that freedom they were deprived of. He runs away from his home makes his way by most of the underground railroad and lives in a small house he lives for his people. He occupies the three of the four doors done much in advancing the people and helping to provide the great manatee patter, and more suitable for the chains of the wrists and from the time of three million, five hundred times. No stress I am putting on my work. topic 1 the chair, the g world to choose 1 criterion, 1 bark Douglas (Appearance) Next I see coming on the edge of action to occupy the centre. I man who caught the idea of industrial training that the word needed the idea that men and women of race need trained hands and trained heads well and trained bodies that they need in the unfailing skill and in the development of the same something useful from a certain point. There were those who did with him, there were those who induced the idea he advised of, there were those who misunderstood him and yet he occupied this chair and in his part in the word performing not the part which God had assigned to him in the work of the execution of the race. He may rightly be called the greatest exponent of industrial training of the masses. Speak of Booker T. Washington (April 16). Then comes a third man of great intellect and of sports' educational training, to occupy this chair in the very opposite of Booker T Washington. He was a man who conceived the idea that the education of the classes was the essential need in the development of the race. He said that if you educate the few and make it possible for them to lead the masses you will find a solution of the problem. This man, however, seemed to forget that the classes have always exploited the masses and that from time immemorial the few who were educated, instead of turning about and becoming benefactors to the masses, who were uneducated, took advantage of their education and usurped the rights of the masses and led them into slavery rather than give them the freedom which it was possible for them to attain. This man comes up and makes his argument. He attacks Booker T Washington. He attacks all policies as to the development and advance of the Negro not in consonance with his conception of the manner in which they should advance. He claims the masses are dangerous to deal with. He evidently is not concerned with and interested in the welfare of the masses. The education of the masses is all right if it is in the hands of men and women who have enough of God in their hearts to do what is right. But when you educate a man who has no true ideal and whose ideal is not a lofty one having for its good the interests of the masses, then I tell you that you set up a man who is likely to do the masses irreparable harm. Friends, I am now placing in the chair the exponent of the classes, the one man who stands out for the interests of the classes—that only the classes can have the following is a list of locations ABERDEEN DIVISION STAGES SERVICE OF SONGS Quite a level and not so low laid on Sunday evening.

SIR WM H FERRIS SPEAKS Prof William H Ferris was the last speaker, and owing to the lateness of the hour he address was brief. There appeared he said, in the New York Times, just week a speech of David Lloyd George in which he showed that the real trouble in India was that Hindu students had attended English universities, and had become inducted with Westerns of liberty and freedom and self determination, and had taken them back to the last. Continuing he said. The phenomenon of modern times has been that the man has talked so much about liberty, freedom, democracy and self determination and so expression that it has infected and pestered the entire world. The way the darker races are now crying out for justice for our opportunities to develop shows that the love of liberty is innate and is not confined to any one particular culture. It indicates that when formed man of the dust of the earth and beckoned into his possessions to breath of life, he is led to the black man's work for the white man. I have in my hand a copy of the Liberal Methodist Convention a con- tribution on Modern Leadership of Word in the Making and it quotation in Prof. Aggrey what he has on about Marcus Carsay. Dr Aggrey is a con- servative, and it says we ought not to be satisfied with a monotonous taking of theory and the law. This posters, re- honors the work of Dr. Aggrey in illization.

Galaxy of Stars Plan to Raise $3,000 for Manassas Industrial School of Northern Virginia The Shuffle Along Company with its galaxy of stars has been called upon to help charitable organizations from almost every section in the U.S. Despite the many benefits which have been given for various causes the company has decided to attempt to raise $3000 for the Manassas Industrial School of Manassas Virginia Morris Miller Lyle, Sissie and Blake will stage the greatest program that has ever been held by colored people on Broadway. To assure the undertaking of complete success the entire company will appear at the first of Morse Hall on Sunday March 5, 1927. Every possible inducement will be used to entertain the public. This concession which was made last Friday resulted from an interview between Messrs Malee L. Hirschle and Blake and Dr. L. Bowdoin, vice principal of the Manuscript Industrial School. During the conference Mr. Edwards is fortunate to the needs of the institution. In addition to the Mr. Gordon Hatcher of 527 Wall Street had also urged the company to the referee. The court of the judge and treasurer and the vice principal is concerned with the physics of the merits of the work. In conversation with the aforementioned individual Mr. Miller said We shall attempt to raise the entire $3,000 for your school. There is a trying need for the education of colored boys and girls.

I believe he is above me to any kind but while I think I may highs of him I cannot say that I hold in the same regard and opin- ion some of his host with whom he is asso- ciated.

I for you, do not and an) harm to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People because I believe that the association can be managed in a way because of real benefit to the Negro race. I would state that there are men in certain advancement associations who are more professional leaders, who have stopped and are still stooping to all use of the lowest methods in their endeavor to suppress and put out of business if possible the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its own corporations. Mr. Plekens is probably too honest to understand meanness, a healer, but极良friend means a complete understating of good and bad in human nature; there is no apologize but offers at a first do make in understating certain people who have been saying and doing things under AFRICA IS A CONTINENT OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS By WM ANTHONY AERY Hampton VA. 1011 Dr. Thomas Jase Jeter, who was nominated the champion at Hampon In- stitute from 1982 to 1998 and is now the educational director of the Phle- pen-Nassau Fund, spoke recently in Ogden Hampton Institute on Some of the Misunderstandings Concerning Africa. The Key Dr Aaron Thelpas-Stokes, in introducing Doctor Jones, referred to the service that had been rendered by the African Educational Commission which aimed to study the Negro background, to learn lessons from different parts of Africa, and to study conditions on that people throughout the world can help in the solution of African problems. This commission was on behalf of Doctor Jones who is now writing a report which will probably be published in the early summer. This report will be a study of educational adaptations. Dr Jones outlined his trip through Sierra Leone Liberia, the Gold Coast Nigeria, Angola South Africa, and Hong Kong, 200 miles of the Congo River to be watered to its mouth. He stated that there was much misunderstanding concerning the resources and beauty of Africa as well as concerning health conditions, the African himself and the contacts of races, especially the contact of the white race. The African death rate among babies ranges from 300 to 700 in each thousand, according to Doctor Jones, who also described the and condition of people who have been stricken with the sleeping sickness. "If you play the game with Africa, however, Africa will play the game with you," said Doctor Jones in referring to the experience which he and his associates had in traveling long distances in Africa without any injury to their health. He added, "When civilization penetrates Africa, then Africa will respond." Doctor Jones referred to the excellent service which was rendered to the commission by a native African, J. B. K. Aggrey, who has served as a professor in Livingston College, Bailsbury, N. C. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922 cover against the movement I represent I am glad that Mr Pickens knew that the Director of Publicity of his association, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has written vilely against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line and me if he would go a little further. he would find out also that his editor has also put down Garvey and the Black Star Line in the February number of his magazine as a liability" to the Negro race for the present year, and that with a full knowledge of all that the Universal Negro Improvement Association the Black Star Line and Garvey have done for the upfit have at the same time, the honorable editor who no doubt is not of a low-down type has put himself down on the credit side of the race for 1922 with the thing known as the Pan-African Congress, which Garvey interprets to mean the Pan-European agency of controlling and gaining control of all Africa by deceiving the new Negro, who has, through it, leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association made up in his mind that Pan-African hall mean all black and not all white. I trust my friend Mr. Pickens will pay a little more attention to the psychology, the ways and manners of men as well as organizations. When he docs that, he will be better informed and will more readily understand what is meant by my stating that "all the trouble we have had on our ships, has to caused but one men were paid to make this trouble by certain organizations calling themselves 'Negro Advancement Associations.' They paid men to dismantle our machinery and otherwise damage it so as to bring about the downfall of the movement A NEW BIOGRAPHY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN February 6 1922. Negro World, New York, N.Y. My Dear Editor--The worldwide attention given the character, principles and achievements of Abraham Lincoln indicates his growing place in human tolerance and affection. Heretofore his biographies have emphasized the various aspects of his character as politician and statesman. This viewpoint fails to bring to light the hidden secret of his abiding greatness, for he was something more than statesman, orator and patriot. In recently reading "Abraham Lincoln, Man of God," in which the author, Dr. John Wesley Hall, presents the spiritual aspects of Lincoln's character, his sustaining faith in God, his familiarity with the Bible, his love for his fellowman and his consecration to constitutional authority, it occurred to me that the contents of this book should have widespread publicity, and to this end I am sending you a volume as a Lincoln Birthday greeting, trusting that during this memorial season you may take opportunity to set forth Abraham Lincoln in this higher light in which he lived and wrought. Just now in the midst of the complicated questions of readjustment special emphasis should be given to those principles of Lincoln, relating to peace, democracy, industrial tranquility law and order, constitutional authority, and indeed all the great problems confronting us. This will contribute mightily toward a reconstruction built upon that spiritual basis discerned by Lincoln and necessary to the preservation of civilization. Sincerely yours. WILLIAM M. CALDER.

ESTE 88 McTavish St., Montreal NEGRO VETS FORM NATIONAL ORGANIZATION Claim Conditions of ex-Soldiers Intolerable Special to the Negro World) Washington D. C. Feb 4 — Lest they forget" was the slogan of a determined group of over 100 ex-service men who gathered here at the Nation's capital this week to form a national organization of Negro Veterans of the World War Enlisted men and ex-officers mingled freely) in a real spirit of comradeship which bespoke success for the movement. One of the first motions to be adopted was the abolition of rank thereby eliminating all of the friction and petty jealousy that might come as the result of past military distinctions. "The organization, which is to be known as the Negro American Veterans of the World War is the inevitable outgrowth of the discrimination that has been practiced everywhere against the Negro veteran Dr T E. Jones, former Captain in the Medical Corps and a weaker of the Distinguished Service Corps. Especially has this discrimination been most rampant in the South, in the treatment of suffering and disabled men. Our organization means to tell out these cases and to stir up the country to the suffering and dire need of these men. Desired admission into the hospital of the South thousands of these veterans suffering from tuberculosis and mental disorders are language away in unnecessary jails and alimonees, to which they have been sent for treatment because the hospitals will not take Negroes. Hundreds of men with such tuberculosis are being inadequately cared for in their homes taking chances with the lives of their own people rather than to sent into the miserable holes that are being improvised for them. Even worse than this is the condition of still other thousands of needy veterans who are entitled to compensation but who are inadjusted from making claim for government relief. When the soldiers and that their organization will actually bring them into contact with the government and in further more ready to a cry on an active fight in their behalf in a whole-hearted and unselfish manner this movement will spread faster than any other organization that has ever been started among Negroes." The organization considers itself particularly fortunate in having as a National vice-chairman Capt. Campbell C. Johnson, who is an official of the Veterans' Bureau in Washington Captain Johnson's knowledge of conditions among colored veterans, together with his ability to be of help to them, particularly qualities him for an important role in the newly formed organization Dr T E. Jones was elected National chairman Louia R Mehlinger, a prominent young attorney, was elected secretary Victor It Daily, business manager of the Journal of Negro History, was chosen as the National organizer, Elijah Reynolds was made treasurer, and William A. Ryles, director of publicity Victor R. Daly the National organizer, located at 1216 You street N W. Washington, D.C. stated to representatives of the press that no efforts would be spared to reach every available veteran and to muster him into the ranks of the organization. "We want to make the Negro American Veterans of the World War a model organization of efficacy and strength. We have a common bond between us, and outside influences are cementing that bond in a way that may prove a very annoying matter to those who are responsible, for it." The founders of this movement have but a single purpose in mind—to unite to the Negro veterans and their families those rights and privileges that are justly theirs as a result of the part they have played in the war." 135TH STREET.

COMMISSIONER HAYNES AROUSES BELLVEDERE (N. C.) DIVISION We of the Bellvore Division were notified glad when we were informed that the Hon. N.A. Hayes Commis sion shorer for Delaware would be with us on the 7th post. Unfortunately the news reached I. President Anderson in bed. He has been sick for three weeks. Besides this the weather was unfavorable, and we were unable to spread the message as we desired to do. At 5:30 p.m. on the night of the 7th our meeting was opened by the lady preident followed by prayer from the chapel. At this time our honor- able Commissioner accompanied by Mr. Maurice Roulet le and Mr. William Matthews of the Wimmington Division raised. The Commissioner was introduced to be gathering by President Rouelle and was warmly greeted. After transmitting our business all attent ion was centered on the honorable Commissioner who was given the balance of the evening. The speaker took as his subject 'The Negro Destiny, and in a very forceful manner, drove home to us some very interesting facts.' He explained carefully the new loan system impressed upon us the importance of paying our debts especially the assessment tax, and said that of the 30,000 Negroes in Delaware, 15,050 must be members of the I N. I A. in the next twelve months. Our commissioner is a young but determined man, and we feel sure that he will mouse Bellvedere to its sense of duty. Our attendance was poor, but we are planning a big night for the Commissioner on the 14th last when we hope to rally to his many appeals. CHICAGO DIVISION FLAYS ENEMIES OF MARCUS GARVEY The West Side Division No. 313 U N I A. and A C L. unanimously sends greetings of their loyalty and devotion to his Excellency Marcus Garvey, as a rebuttal to the malicious charges which was supposed to have warranted his arrest, which, from a logical viewpoint, was prejudice on the part of adversaries of his Excellency for his way of procedure in a righteous cause. For this cause we, the disciples of righteousness and justice to all mankind, dpledge to his Excellency our whole-hearted support with our energy, life and sacred honor, not for a selfish motive, nor for our own aggrandizement, but an supporting a righteous cause, and we are sure that his faultless alibi will shatter the evidence of his accusers and will ultimately result in his vindication which registers high on thescroll of time another knock-out for his false accusers, who has thought to contaminate the good name of one of the greatest benefactors of our race. JAR T MINOR. REV. I. J JORDAN. GEWELL. COFFEE CULTIVATION IN BRITISH EAST AFRICA By ARTHUR E. KING Coffee is an important staple crop of the Colony of Kenya (British East Africa), approximately 80,000 acres being planted to this product, and more than half of it is at the producing stage. This area is being increased at the rate of 3,000 acres annually. For the past five years coffee has taken second place on the list of exports, amounting to 15 per cent of the total. In 1910 the value of the coffee exported was $1,549,000 and in 1920 $3,716,000. This large increase is value over 1910, in spite of the lower market prices was due to an exceptionally favorable amount of rainfall and a consequent record crop. Up to 1920 East African coffee was consigned chiefly to the United Kingdom, Egypt, South Africa and Arabia, but during 1920 $80,668 worth was shipped to the United States. On the London market Kenya coffee has for years realized the highest prices because of its splendid blending qualities. There are three varieties cultivated in Kenya, two indigenous and one in which was introduced into the country in 1900 and is now the coffee of commerce in the colony. The Compagnie Française de Naigenton (Vapour (the Cyprian Line) has constituted its fleet serving the West Coast of Africa which was nearly destroyed during the war. It now has three steam hops of a tonnage averaging between 5000 and 6000 which originally belonged to the German Woermann Line, but have been taken over by France in connection with the reparations settlement. These ships are provided with modern equipment, and their strength and speed are said to assure a regular and effective passenger and freight service. For the present railings from Marseilles are planned for every 40 days, but it hoped to convert this into a monthly service. The ports to be served are Dakar Konakry, Grand Bassam, Cotonou, and eventually Dunkla and the intermediary ports. Custom Duties of Cameroons The Acting Governor of Nigeria issued a proclamation on November 1, 1921, applying the import and export duties of Nigeria to the Cameroons territory under British mandate. The duties become effective at on Population of British Menduras The population of Belize, British Menduras, according to the official census of 1921, is 12,661, showing an increase of 2,183 since 1911. The population of the colony has increased from 40,468 to 45,315 during the 10-year period. IMPORTANT NOTICE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General --- AFRICA BEGINNING TO SEE LIGHT OF POLITICAL REFORM Freetown "Aurora" Pro- claims Amelioration of People From Thralldom of Purgatory LONDON. Dec. 27 (by Mall).—While Europe is still awailing the dawn of the new era Africa is beginning to see the light, remarked the Daily News. That, at any rate, is the impression conveyed by a leading article in the "Aurora," of Frestown, Sierra Leone, a copy of which journal has just found its way to the "Daily News" office and which says: Today we drop with pleasure the final curtain over the various facenaries depicted in our past five editorials on the City Corporation. The old year has rolled away into eternity and everything now becomes new. A new regime now bursts forth under the guidance of the Honorable Emanuel Henry Cummings. Apparently there was something rotten in the State of Freetown before the Hon. Emanuel Henry Cummings came on the scene. Just what it was the "Aurora," having dropped the final curtain as above, is too polite to say, beyond a passing reference to "the amelioration of our people from the thraldom of political hell," but it lays down a program for the Hon. Emanuel Henry which might be commended to the city fathers of other places besides Freetown. "They want our corporation" (it says in a passage of fine fervor) "to breathe new light, ye, an allotronic form of political oxygen to regenerate the once impure political atmosphere. "Shall we not say a word to our young friends, particularly who have been honored by their country to take a part in their early years, in the uplift of humanity? "Shall we not remind them that every beating pulse they tell leaves, but the number less, shall we not warn them to be careful how they pray with time, yea, time in a crown colony regime? "We pray God that these filthy cliques and Coccususes which sapped the vitality out of the old council may, never be allowed to be written in the program of this new year." It is a bit unkind of the "African World," after this, to remark that "the air of Sierra Leone is apparently of a disgruntled type." The facts as stated by the "Aurora" quite otherwise. The situation really is, it appears, that "chaos and pathos, ill-affection and the arbitrary elements, of discordancy are playing in the vibratory fibres of every thinking Sierra Leonean."—New York Tribune Jan. 27. 1922.

Astronomers tell us that suns are I burning out in the universe and new worlds are being formed by the condensation of nebulous matter Geologists tell us that the earth on which we live has undegone physical changes during the past 2,000,000 years. Once upon a time Europe was covered by a sea of ice. This was called the glacial age. ‘Ihen later what 1s now Teeland was a green verdant isle; and a continent, now submreged be- neath the water, stood in the Indian Ocean between Asia and Africa. In human affairs, too, change has played an smportant part in the development of man. Races and nations which once dominated the world have ceased to exist or are now weak and helpless. Races and mations of which scarcely a mention is made by Greek and Roman writers are now all-powerful. It seems to be a law of nature that material things fade and pass away, while the spiritual abides. The buildings which stood as monu- ments to the greatness of the Pharaohs, the Babylonian kings, King Solomon, Pericles and Augustus Cesar are either a mass of ruins or are slowly crumbling before the corroding forces of time. But the ideas which Egypt, Israel, Greece and Rome have bequeathed to civili- _7atine. gill remain os the permanent inheritance of humanity. Moun- tains are destroyed by volcanoes; the rivers wash away land, carry it in the current and deposit it in the bed of the ocean. Nations rise and fall, empires thrive and then crumble, but ideas live on. Human for- tunes are built up ahd dissipated, but religion lives on in the soul of man On a Sunday in November, 1919, we stood on a pile of logs and watched the rejoicing while the “Yarmouth” slowly moved down North River towards New York Harbor, bound with cargo and passengers for the Antilles and the Caribbean Sea. We saw the exultation and the shouts of joy. But amidst all of the pandemonium we asked the ques- tion, “Will the movement that culminated in the launching of 2 stean: boat survive?’ We knew that phosphate and copper mines and oil wells had suddenly exhausted themselves and disappointed stockholders. We knew that men had lost thousands of dollars through failure of sugar, cotton and tobacco crop or the overflooding of the market. We knew that ships go down in storms or return to port badly battered. We knew that ships sometimes le at the docks for several days on account of storms "at sea or a strike of longshoremen, while wages and dockage bills are mounting, We knew that ship owners face strikes and competition like Other business men. And, realizing that the “Yarmouth” must face stormis, strikes and competition, the same as other boats; knowing that the shipping business must feel the effects of hard times the same as other business ventures, we asked the question again, “Will the move- ment survive?” The Letter From Panama No answer came until one day the latter part of December, 1921. when we received a letter from a brother in Panama, who wrote’ “We people down this way regard your movement as a religion.” We thought of the long existence of Christianity, Mohammedanism, Buddhism and Confucianism, of the history of the Roman Catholic Church. We real- ized that if the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which had ‘given birth to the Black Star Line as an auxiliary corporation, had the ements of a religion, then it could not be wrecked by the hardships of one.particular business venture, but it would contain within its bosom elements of permanence, At Grit we taw in the U.

He had 2 prodigious memory and a facility of specch truly remarkable Ie [knew his history and his classics and he hihed nothing better than a friendly “bout with congemal spirits” on racial ar bastaneal que tions His reading was extensive and was not wholls contned to jliterary subjects. He was a student of his priicssion to the day of his death, reading and absorbing and applying im his medial prac tice all the latest information acquired by his study of the latest works on medicine. He was practical, generous of heart, kind to the poor and needy and lavish in his hospitality to his intimates, ex- tremely polished in manner and always carefully appareled His appearance in the home or on the street proclaimed him a gentleman He was diplomatic, tactful, courtcous, resourceful, a real man among men, a gentleman sans peur et sans reproche His untimely death leaves a void in the medical profession of Harlem that will be hard to be filled, for there was no more popular man in the greater Harlem than York Russell, whose great soul ‘has winged its fight to arks of safety in the odor of sanctity amid the gnefs and tears of his immediate family and the sorrowing of thousands of his friends, all over this city, who knew him only to love him because of his open, frank nature, Ine lindly heart and ‘his nobility of character About two weeks ago the writer and a friend from Fagland spent a delightful evening in the home of York Russell, who enter: tained them with many remimscences of Sir Conrad Reeves, whom he knew, and kept them roarmg with laughter by the recital of the t.any humorous things Sir Conrad Reeves did to impress white and ‘black men in his island home with the dignity and power of his office. He mimicked the strut and voice of the colored Chief Justice jand his threat, to those who ran counter tos will, o. “I'M lock you up, sir,” in the most inimitable manner, and we got to see Sir Conrad ‘Reeves through the eye of York Russell, who regarded him as one of the most remarkable and thoroughly cfficient Chief Justices the West Indies has ever produced. York Russell was of a jolly, jovial, friendly disposition, fond of a joke and fond of telling them, and he had an abundant store of them always on tap An evening spent in his cozy home was a rare treat; @ liberal education to young men, of whom he was very fond, and to his intimates of riper Years, who regarded him os a sort of walking encyclopedia. He was fond of debate, and sometimes, in heated discussions in his back parlor, he ‘would rise from his seat and assume the attitude of an orator and make a pathetic or eloquent or combative defense of his side of the jargument and sit down with s broad smile wreathing his kindly face ‘as if to say, “There now, gentlemen, beat it if you can” His op- ponents rarely escaped with signal victory They covld match York Russell, but they could never beat him in debate, and now all that 19 mortal of this noble spirit lies in the cold embrace of death His ‘soul has gone to the God who gave His memory will be treas ured by legiuns of friends and acquaintances as was that of \buu Ben Adhem because he loved his fellowman We join with his family in mourning his untimely death He was our friend of many years and we loved him much | “He is gone. he 18 dust | He the more fortunate, he hath finished To him there #8 no longer any future, | His hfe 1s bright—bnght without spot it was And cannot cease to be No ominous hour Knocks at his door with tidings of mishap Far off 19 he, above desire and fear, No more submitted to change and chance Of the unsteady planets.

So we had better wait a little while before passing judgment on the Harding Ad- ministration. If it is planning to so and itself we we quite sure that it will not purposely offend the hundreds of thousands of Negroes throughout the country) who vote. The potentiality of the Negro vote is well known to political leaders in both the great parties. The Rep- ublican leaders will do well to to- square with the Negro, otherwise the may give them cause in the next gen- eral election. The British Government in India has very wisely halted the order for the arrest of Ghanaian which was issued some ago ago according to the papers with a great flow of high-wounding language carrying a threat to imprison the leader and break the spirit of his followers. It is very probable that the British authorities in India and England have seen a vision. The Irish seem to be having a lovely time in Ireland if the press dispatches are to be riled on and they rarely are) in getting down to the business of making a nation. We incline to the opinion that the powers that lie are not particularly anxious in welcome Ireland into the family of nations, and that these press reports are purely propaganda. J E B. GORING THE WRONG OX It appears now that so long as the police confine their brutality to Negroes, no serious public notice will be taken of complaints made against them either by their Negro prisoner-victims or by others to whom they gave detailed accounts of the cowardly assaults made upon them in their cells in the police stations, or other places selected by those "uniformed brutes," to force confessions to help promotions and laudatory press notices of their prowess and cleverness. But when these gentle and humanitarian defenders and protectors of the law' hurt the feelings of white prisoners, with their chestnut billies or a section of lead pipe, or rubber hose persuaders, then we know that the wrong ox has been gored, and that an investigation will follow. Judge Franklin Taylor, of Brooklyn, has just ordered the Grand Jury to investigate the brutal clubbing of two white prisoners of that city, by Brooklyn policemen, and has made some naustic remarks about the habit some policemen have of beating up their prisoners. He wants an investigation of these cases by the Grand Jury, and wants this class of officers punished if the evidence against them is sustained. What a great and glorious privilege it is to be a white man in a white man's country. Wonderful how argue-eyed some judges are when the rights of a white fellow-citizen are invaded. J E. B. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922 NEGRO FARMERS HOLD ANNUAL CONFERENCE The Annual Negro Farmers' Conference was held here at Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, February 1 and 2. Although February 1 was a very rainy day, farmers came from all over the State, most of them having reached here the night before, so that despite the rain they assembled and told their simple stories of their efforts to get ahead. Principal Holtlaw was elected president of the conference for the eighteenth year and he delivered an address advising the farmers to become independent land owners as far as possible. He counselled temperance and progressiveness. He especially appealed to the farmers to make better homes for their wives and children as they make progress in the purchasing of land. But perhaps the most touching part of his address was with reference to the relation between the races in the presence of professional men, business men and farmers, both white and colored, who were seated on the platform. He spoke out against lynching which he termed as American shame and he declared that no country can continue to look the world in the face unless it can so manipulate its government that this vicious element of whatever race can be controlled and directed. He declared that it is not the Negro on trial, but the white man, and that it is he who must answer before the bar of Almight God for the lives of those whose fate is, in a measure, entrusted to his care. NIGERIA GOLD CENTER London Business Men Reported to Be Undertaking Development London Jan 18—A gold rush to Nigeria, where large tracts of pay dirt have been found a reported in papers here and a group of prominent business men are forming a company to undertake the development. A miner named MacKar are made a lucky strike near the village of Himi in the Kano district. He and a partner have staked out a wide claim, and the company being formed here is not relating with him for concern. He is said to have obtained samples containing a average of 14 penny-weight of gold to the ton of ore. West Australian mining companies are reported to be sensing ore and the interest already attracted by the find suggests a trick that will be a small scale to form.

MAIL ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED Date 6 EXTRACTS FROM SPEECH OF HAMILTON FISH, JR. OF NEW YORK, ON ANTILYNCHING BILL IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Refers to the Address of Congressman Ansorge January 18, 1922. Mr Chairman and Gentlemen of the House I believe that Abraham Lincoln would turn in his grave if he thought that sixty years after the emancipation proclamation a Republican House would hostile to pass legislation to protect colored people from being deprived of their lives without due process of law, and I fail to follow the logic of the political tactics of my Republican colleague, who try to pretend that this legislation is not aimed at special sections of the South. The spirit of Abraham Lincoln still lives and the Federal Government is obliged to take cognizance of the hideous plague of lynching and provide a penalty so drastic as to render it dangerous for future mobs to indulge in Mr. Fish. I cannot remain silent on this question. I would be untrue to those colored men of this country who paid the supreme sacrifice, and especially to men of my own command who gave up their lives to make the world safe for democracy, if I failed to advocate the passage of this anti-lynching bill. Let me tell you something that perhaps you Members of the House do not fully appreciate, and that is that the colored man who went into the war had in his heart the feeling that he was fighting not only to make the world safe for democracy, but also to make this country safe for his own race [Applause.] I wish also to testify to the loyalty, fortitude and bravery of the colored soldiers, which compares favorably with any soldiers in the allied armies of our own. Gentlemen, consider the appalling fact that there have been men who wore the uniform lynched by citizens of Georgia. Some of them are innocent, indeed, because only 20 per cent. of those who have been lynched were lynched for the crime of rape. I can say further to the gentleman* from Georgia, how can he defend the fact that even women have been lynched in the State of Georgia. Mr. Upshaw. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. Fish. No, the gentleman can answer in his own time. I am not a lawyer and do not intend to go into the legal points of the bill, but I have had political experience enough to know that it will be contested and disputed on constitutional grounds to the very end. It will be up to the Supreme Court finally to pass on the constitutionality of the anti-lynching bill and not the entinent constitutional lawyers of the House. I have sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, and on that account, if for no other reason, it would be my sacred duty as a Member of the House of Representatives to vote for a drastic anti-lynching bill to protect the rights and lives of American citizens everywhere in the United States and put an end to lawlessness, which threatens the administration of justice. Who can tell, if lynching is not suppressed, when it will spread to take in the unpopular employee, or capitalist and even public officials while enforcing the law? My distinguished colleague, Mr. Ansorge, of New York, representing a constituency of nearly half a million people, of whom 100,000 are colored men and women, has clearly pointed out the fact that members of a lynching mob in the South are seldom apprehended, rarely prosecuted by the local or State authorities, and almost never convicted. Of all the dastardly and cowardly crimes lynching is the worst because the lynchers are armed to the tooth and the victim is generally an unarmed person in the custody of the shariff or local official. The mob is composed of powderly ruffana, and unless drastic legislation is passed and enforced the spirit of lawlessness will run riot throughout the country. As for me, I do not think the bill is drastic enough; it should provide for machine guns in all county falls where lynching is rampant for use against mobs who attempt to substitute their desires for the ordinary process of the law and thereby convert our republican form of government. The advocates of this bill do not believe that its passage will solve the social question, but they believe that it is a step in the right direction. Personally I advocate the creation of a commission to examine into the economic and political status of the coloured people and report back to the House a comprehensive plan for the settlement of their condition and assure them equal protection and equal opportunity under the law. CINCINNATI DIVISION 146 MEETINGS EXTRAORDINARY TO BE ADDRESSED BY H. E. J. W. H. EASON, American Leader RT. HON. FRED A. TOTTE, 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. information as to when the first lynching occurred in Georgia? Mr. Fish. I do not know when the first occurred. Mr. Brand. The first lynching which ever occurred in Georgia, so far as I can gather, was in 1865. A Negro man raped a white woma. in Gwinnett county. He fled for protection to Lawrenceville, where a company of Federal soldiers were stationed. When learning the facts they took him in custody and hanged him in the courthouse square. The lynchers were partly from your own State and other States north of the Mason and Dixon line Mr Fish. It is the exception that proves the rule. There have been lynchings in Georgia for fifty years and it exists today so that colored citizens are forced to come to Congress and ask for protection of their lives. And if you Republicans fail to pass the bill you will spread disarray among the colored people throughout the land who have been given to understand that the Republican party was going to do everything in its power to provide that the colored citizen should have equal rights under the law and that his life will be protected everywhere in the United States. The colored citizen will not only be disappointed and discouraged, but he will believe that Congress has turned a deaf ear to his plea for simple justice if some of you wavering Republicans fail to support the bill for disputed constitutional reasons. The rejection of the bill will close the door of hope, and do much to aggravate the racial problem This is meritious legislation which we have promised to the colored people in our party platforms. We owe it to ourselves and to the colored people who fought in our army and to the skin, we owe it to our party to tell the people in the South that the anti-lynching bill is aimed against special counties and States in the South, and if they cannot and will not enforce the laws, if they will not prosecute the lynchers, then the Federal Government will do it for them. ARMSTRONG AIMED TO PREPARE MEN FOR LIFE ARMSTRONG AIMED TO PREPARE MEN FOR LIFE Mrs. Edith Armstrong Talbot Interprets Her Father's Ideals of Education HAMPTON Va. Feb 11 - That Gen Samuel Chapman Armstrong's Ideal for Negroes was the kind of education which would enable colored men and women to live successfully in the same world of mind and spirit that the white man inhabits, was the opinion expressed by Mrs. Edith Armstrong Talbot, daughter of General Armstrong, in a recent address on "Armstrong and His Ideals," delivered in the Queen Street Baptist Church of Hampton. Mrs. Talbot declared that the white man's world is ruled by mind, not by feelings and emotions, and that the people who allow themselves to be governed by their feelings or nerves, which reflect feeling, can never succeed in it. Mrs. Talbot said "General Armstrong would never listen to anyone who had a grievance —the worst mental disease one can contract—though he was always ready to help redress any wrong. The sense of injury must first be conquered and then the rong can be righted. A grievance is a poisonous, infectious, explosive thing which leads to a state of insanity and makes right decision and progress impossible. "Only such leaders will bring the race to its own who are big enough to conquer their own feelings and condition—leaders in whom 'mind rules' Any policies conceived and executed by such leaders will be good and successful. "Negroes should become a hard race—not hard like a rock, but hard like the sugar-maple tree, which is wounded every year and loses its life-blood, but heals its wounds over night and is too busy growing to dwell on them. "Certain kinds of education help a man to gain the rule of mind over feeling. Industrial and technical education, artistic and business training, which require both practical application and abstract knowledge, help most. Classical education enlarges the scope of action of the man who has learned how to rule himself with his own mind, but does not help him gain such rule." Mrs. Talbot read Matthew Arnold's "Rugby Chapel," a poem on his father. Thomas Arnold, "greatest of English educators," which she declared was the best picture of her father ever written.

River Rouge, Mich MUZZLING THE NEGRO As I was scanning over the columns of the Chicago Tribune of the issue of February 12, I noticed with regret that the circulation of the Negro World is prohibited in Port of Spain, Trinidad. This is reported by Philip Kinsley through foreign news service to the Tribune. It is estimated that there is a population of about 65,000 people of different languages in that city. Out of that number there are about 100 pure whites. Therefore the rest of them must be our race and yet they must no doubt submit to the dictum of the small number of whites comparing to ours. From this we see that the Negro is muzzled and handcapped way over there from the right that the whites think that they only should have. I pinch the whole let us not be on the fire brand but let us go on gently and wisely with Hon Garvey a movement in order to succeed well with the greatest movement which is universally organized for the Negro's greater heart. The well thinking Negro sees clearly the need of this movement and he is urging it forward with every good effort that he can. That is right. Push it on and on in the good and right way for good results for the race generally. FAME How great art thou, how noble one To thee all men aspire.

SINGING BLUES FOR COLUMBIA RECORDS ```markdown ``` Edith Wilson, the popular colored 'blues" artist, whose songs are produced on Columbia records, was born on a ranch in Oklahoma. Edith's mother being a Cherokee Indian, it is not surprising that Edith inherited the 'whoop nowadays known as the 'blues. It is said that even as a child Edith sang almost all the time. Neighbors would frequently ask her mother what those catchy tunes were that Edith sang. Edith's mother would only answer I don't know chile but it sounds good. Recently some one played one of Edith's new records for Mother Wilson. After listening to it or a few more minutes she remarried. That a nothin' but the tunes she used to hum the tune. Be that as it may it is those tunes that she used to hum that have made Edith Wilson famous as a blues singer. Edith has been playing in vaudeville for a number of years, first as a member of the team of Wilson and Goodall and later as a part of the Wilson trio. The Columbia Graphophone Co. recognizing Edith's talent, engaged her to produce Columbia records. All her records have been big hits. Her new February record is "Old Time Blues" on one side and Franklin on the other. Johnny Dunn's Original Jazz Hounds in putting Leo over by their wonderful and original.

REQUIRED TO RIDE IN SMOKING CAR LITTLE ROCK, Ark — Mrs Virginia D Button, colored of Chicago, was on judgment for $50 by a jury in Third Division Circuit Court a few days ago in a suit for compensatory damages brought against the Missouri Pacific Railroad. According to the testimony the woman bought a ticket to Little Rock and boarded the train at Jacksonville Fla. She alleged that the conductor required her to ride in the Negro smoking car as the Negro passenger coach was filled and that when she refused to do so the train was stopped and she was put off. The original suit was for $3,000. There is some comment among the residents here, as this is the first case the colored person has on a suit in this section against Jimcrow car methods. Have you overlook'd those hideous years of war— The violent edict, "Kill—or else be kill'd"; The stench, the rats; the deeds clean souls abhor. The frantic noise; the shrinks that burn'd and thrill'd; Deep degradation in the soul of you. When—from the dark of dull and hopeless rain— Broke a sweet dawn, intolerably new? And must it be, ah! must it be—again? Must life be emptied of its brighter rays? And must you vainly ask that death be kind? Must you endure through long and loathly days. While legislators deem you deaf and blind Deem that your veins bleed sawdust and not blood. Deem that your brain feels pleasure, but not pain. Deem that your flesh is merely cannon food. And send you forth to wage their wars—again? The tragedy, incoberent despairs. Cugges from lips grown weary ere the fight. The hiss of shrapnel, and the fume and flare Of homesteads blazing in the piteous night The lust the deorn the horror and the hate Of haggard adolescents, scarcely men The lolling heads of wounded, saved too late And must it be ah! must it be againn? The limbless trunk the sightless eyes, the mouth Twisted awry the nerve torn to a shred Life's glialness turned by memory to drouth. And all the world a dunghill for the Jeand? Have you forgotten? Shall these ghastly things Bring hell to earth and Satan proudly reign? Join hands, ye men, and tell your pampered kings. This shall not be never shall be—again! J M STUART-YOUNG Lagos, Nigeria.

T COLON Going over the scientific point of view on this matter, abundant theories, so misleading, most of them, have made the rate question an issue of paramount importance, that we are inclined to believe that the real facts have been set aside purposefully for conventional reasons to aggregate and hold down those branches of mankind whose abilities and achievements have been handicapped by the so-called supernatural disposition of those other elements whose predominance have been imposed on the sufferers with all the miseries and despair characteristic of the most bloodshedting tyrannies in all ages. Castes, among the people of the same race; klans, among the people of the race caste, superiority of one race toward another due to furdalism and the divine relationship of kings to God. Particular religious principles of men have an open gap for the eternal struggle, and yet the Biblical episode of Calin and Abel keep humanity divided by both agotism and immorality. Time and again civilization like an ocean, has rolled up its tremendous waves over and over upon the vast domain of mankind, and the only ship crossing the turbulent lake is the "Conquering spirit" of pre-dominant races, with the sole idea in mind to devastate and to ravage and humiliate other people whose right to life was given to them at the same hour and by the same God, without any distinction or privilege to any particular race.

That subject is a member of the great genus, member of the great genus tree of Nature, and his features, no matter how pleasing or grotesque they may be, no matter what shading covers his skin, such a type is a branch of the great Arbor, and biologically he represents the Matrix with the characteristic and ethnological bearing of the same family. This tree has a long foliage. Its branches spread in all directions; consequently the coloring of the leaves varies accordingly to the geographical and topographical disposition of each of the different parts of the universe. These leaves may change, but they are integral and constituent parts of the same tree. So is the black man; he is a member belonging to the same trunk of the white and yellow tree of nature. N. Y. C.

Crawford Utera. Astet. Secy. N. O. Div. Flo. 149 Commissioner Thomas W Anderson is the best liked official the parent body has not sent to Louisiana. He knows how to make friends for the movement and win even our enemies to the cause. He talks little but when he does everyone listens and brings upon his words because they are positively forceful and pregnant with power, he can talk. He never naks for an act to be carried out but once. And he gets things done. When he came to New Orleans matters were in an indifferent and uncertaint state. Now they are not so Peace has been brought to order which is before we all for but impossible. He has had no easy hand in light but a battle which it took such an earnest and courageous to tie to direct and win. He has won and we are the beneficiaries. Knocks and threats do not move him. It only increases his determination to see the matter through and thus he usually does. It has been said that no man could handle the New Orleans division but this is now untrue for Lion Ande son has tamed the shrew. We love him throughout this fighting state for he has shown us how to truly fight, and what is more how to win. We thank Mr. Garvey for sending him to us, and we appreciate him. We only hope to keep him in this state for he is needed here. He dislikes praise, that is why we have not written about him before. Hon. Anderson has been up-state during this rainy season, but was forced to cancel his engagement because of the rain and illness. He is better now. This is our word about our commissioner.

JULY 4, 1922 The members and functions of the great Philadelphia division of the Int'l General Negro Improvement Association were treated at an earlier show, when the President general of the as association the Right Hon. Marion Harvey and Lady Henry de Vinton Davis listened to the organizer literal- ly speaking, fairly coordinated the The spikes rose to aid time heights of rhetoric and allegory and with mastery of sequence forced friend and foe to conceive the allusion in said and did. The Real Negro Improvement Association is the only Negro Mission which is a working wholeheartedly for the political economic and cultural emancipation of the Negro people of the world and ultimately the freedom of the Negro people of Africa. The United Central in his ad directions emphasized the need of bene- tice and one of the duties. Mr. who are early among the great few of cura, the seemingly big Negroes were only of profit at the expense of the little Negroes and because they could not be held more into intimidation in the great leader from his determination that was for Negroes everywhere the rights and privileges accrued other peoples' tractions of the race have decided to break this great organization to come what may But man, how true drinking lights intensifies the brain, these tractors I have lost sight of the grand object we human liberty, they seem to forget that a like spirit of freedom which erated men like Patrick Henry James Redmond. Washing is a carriage has been set aglow in the hortale of Negroes through the momentality of the Hon. Matius Orca and though they may impress do what they may to this great reformer like John Brown this inspiration this spirit of freedom shall ever go marching on until it reaches the remotest parts of Africa. This is the spirit of the New Negro who is the first and the most imperfect impediment on the achievement of time with man in all fields. This more it is the wall of Dynasty. Providence.

She emphasized the need of more unity of purpose, of free, free and action, without which we could we were doomed to fail. In a land of the necessity of every minute, the critical period of the life of that of generations to stand by this great leader, whom to tell has not usurped neither to the right nor the left but with every head on the horizon, to press forward and onward to that end of our forefathers. Africa where all things belonged, we shall our forces continue our pursuit of India, all human social education and socialical whistle above us flattens the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green formed by the Gentile Zephyr that pervades such tropical climate, a standard which will mean more than being only a silken hunting but its emblem of respect for every African at home and abroad. The meeting was convened with songs and recitations from the mem- bership. Mrs Wood I letter one of Hilda's photos had a group give a wonderful account of the condition of Spring, moved by Paul Lawrie, DuBart's. Who knew. Her singing was well of improvement with some of the inchoate singer's voices. The district will Brown of West Philadelphia and the district with local duke the sisters give every promise as to a very high fufu- ture in the most of world the wee hue will be for our several selections and then keep her singing more of an aviation from the good-natured crowd. Mrs. L. Glarner gave a splendid account of herself as an elocutionist in her recitation of That Jim Crow Law Aint Right. It was a masterpiece in itself and reflected the feeling of the race towards such a perdure. Miss Benjamin, a youngster of about 7 years gave an address in rhyme to the Hon Marcus Garvey which was well appreciated, the philosophy enunciated therefrom being very timely and which was very graciously accepted. The childs pronunciation was very clear and dignified, defying competition of many a seasoned orator, which was a very creditable reflection on her mother and tutor. A civil service examination was held on the 27th and eleven candidates satisfactorily passed the tests. Despite the knocks and shocks the Phiadelphia division is emerging and shaking off these ill effects, and two) on intelligent birds pha) to ready to the cause of the lited, the black and the green, which asks for nothing more for less than equal opportunities, equal justice and the principles of self-determination as advocated by true democracy. SOME SHORT STORIES By BRUCE: "GRIT" Not long ago a small party of us were sitting in a lodge room adjoining the kitchen of a mutual friend in Albuquerque, N.M., inhabiting the fragrant colors Davis, N.Y. Inhaling the fragrant odors mingling there from with tantalizing frequency. We had been invited to puttake of a game dinner and our friend, who was a chef with a record and a Southerner to host, was putting his best culinary skill into the preparation for the table of the piece de rigueuse a Marquis of common called an epoxsum which he had re- ceived from Georgia some weeks pre- vious, and had fattened for this mo- ment us event. Now, when an epox- sum has been properly treated for no even a few, when all the seasonings have been put into the pan in which he is to be baked he is bound to emi- nor when the oven door is opened for the purpose of basting him and the red yarn that are keeping him com- pany) which produces animated converse. The last time George opened the door of the room leading to the kitchen, Earsis, one of our kids, a most faint off-hair, the is a red and the color of the petrum was too much for him. He reco- ncelled his equivum quickly, however, and looking shameful at day in which he had not commented on the affe- tion which aggravated color from the kitchen seemed to be had on him. He said, Hope did I ever tell you of my experience with a carpenter. We answered almost in unison. No tell us. Well said Ewartz about fourteen years ago I had a very warm friend who lived in a south of France and at times he was subject to life. On a certain occasion he had indulged in the luxury of going into a trance as the neighbors called it. He remained for several days in the state much to the grief of his immediate family and personal friends who thought he was dead, but he came back to normal on the third day however and went about his daily work as though nothing out of the ordinary had occurred, and as he said nothing about his excursion into spirit land or wherever it was he had spent those two days no bing was said to him by any one of us because he was keenly sensitive, and quick to take offense whenever allusion was made to his having had a fit. So we kept silence. Things went along all right for almost a year after this and in three years no more curiousness of these lies and no more trance his minutes began to believe that he was well over them and were much pleased because they were a source of great interest to his family and friends. One day he took to his bed this winter after this of this year and completed some trouble in his head. Various home remedies were tried in the hope of relieving him but there was only one to unite it. $500 REWARD IF I FAIL TO GROW HAIR HAIR ROOT HAIR GROWER This is your grocery store. Patronize it. Leave your orders in the order box at Liberty Hall, and we will attend to them. We make prompt delivery of all large orders. Under the Supervision of the Department of Labor and Industry trouble, whatever it was. So a doctor was sent for as the young man seemed to be getting wores, but before the doctor reached the house, the young man swooned. Those of us who stood by his bed side on a former occasion felt that certainly this time his spirit had winged its flight to arks of safety—that bourne of which philosophers write and poets sing. "When the doctor finally arrived which was exactly two and a half hours after the messenger notified him he asked a few minor questions as to what we had done to help the young man pending his arrival. It was told about the home remedies that had been applied to the sufferer etc. then the doctor felt his pulse and applied an instrument to his heart lifted one of his eyelids and again felt his pulse pushing the youth's hand back under the coverlet rather roughly. Then he said "Give this man plenty of fresh air I cannot do anything to relieve him. Open all the windows and leave him alone." There was little sympathy either in the voice or manner of this doctor who was a white man, and he seemed to be annoyed in having to attend a Negro. He picked up his medical case and asked griffin." Whom do I look to for my fee? The charge is $3. The boy's brother pulled out a roll of money and peeled off three dollar bills and passed them over to the doctor with the remark. Here is your fee sir, and opening the door wide said Good day, sir in a rather meaningful tone. I remarked to my friend George that doctor seems to have a good deal of the brute in him. He seems to be only one remove from the savage. No white doctor will ever attend me if I got sick or helpless at any time if there is a Negro doctor within twenty miles who can be reached. "After this doctor had departed we opened the windows as we adjusted putting the screens in to protect the body from prowling cats and then we all went into the little parlor as the best room down South is called. All of the remainder of that day and all of the third day the young man was in a state of coma. On the fourth day the doctor returned, and on being informed that there had been no perceptible change in the young man's condition he again applied his instrument to the young man's heart, and afterward placed his ear on the part of the body where the heart is located and said, 'He is dead. We believed him. Accordingly arrangements were made with the local understaff to prepare the body of the young friend for burial and that night his body was placed in a casket in the best room in the house where during the early hours of the night friends and neighbors took what they believed to be their last look at his mortal remains. As the night grew old we who were his friends took turns sitting up with the body. Some of us slept and some of us occupied the time reading books or newspapers. About two thirty it was my turn to go on watch so I got a book which I had found while rummaging among some old magazines and novels which lay on a shelf in a corner of the room entitled, The Phenomena of Dream. It intermeided me so I sat on found a comfortable easy chair which I placed in a snug corner near a window and began to devour its contents. I had read about ten or twelve pages of the book when my attention was diverted by a strange prise like the shuffling of feet but I saw nothing and attributed the supposed noise to my imagination and went on reading. Presently I got up from my chair and tipped into the room where I had left my friends and found them all sound asleep in various postures in chairs and on a big old fashioned horseback sofa. I went back to my reading (though I must confess it was with some difficulty and titting my chair back against the wall, divined into the book with much eagerness. The lamp by which I was ```markdown ``` ROYAL CHEMICAL CO. JAMAICA, N. Y. reading, and which sat on a small table within easy reach, flickered as though it was going out, and I turned in my chair for the purpose of pushing the wick little higher. As I did, I happened to cast my eye in the direction of the casket and there sat our young man, bolt upright, gaising steadily and wonderingly at me. The part of the casket where the face shows had not been screwed down, in fact none of the lid was screwed. When I saw the corpse in that posture I stood not upon the order of going but went immediately through the window near which I sat, and I kept going until my breath gave out, and I was about six miles from the house of death. While I was passing swiftly through the yard to the main road I heard a crush, and I knew then that the corpse had awakened and had stepped out of his narrow house for the purpose of finding out a few things. As I journeyed on as fast or faster than any racehorse, I heard my late companions marking time down that shell road with the regularity of machines especially constructed for running. I could almost hear them panting. I made my getaway I imagine in about as fast time as Dexter the famous racehorse, for I was banging in bed and wide awake from 3 to 4 am. I have sat up with a corpse since and what is more. I am not going to. That experience was enough for me. Our friend and cost, the chef, who had been an interested listener to Evarts story for about fifteen minutes, slapped the clever story teller on the shoulder with the remarks. Evarts you have prized the medal from the breast of Anan. Your seat tonight is at the head of the table.

JACKSON TILFORD It is amazing how little some newspaper writers know or how little they think you know Roscoe Simmons makes a new discovery on the causes of injustice heaped upon the Negro in this country Writing for the Chicago Defender, Simmons says A lot of back slaves from England, the slave nation, have crawled into our own country and are making it hard on native colored people Now let us apply some wholesome thought to this characteristic Simmons prattle and see whether or not this statement is founded on truth or whether it is cheap contemptible prop granda attested at the L A The things that are hardest on colored people in this country (and I believe even Nimmy will agree) are economic player, defiance of moral segregation, lynching, burning. As Kluxian bombing and the forceful ruption of the motifs of our womanhood of the South. It is true that we suffer all of these things in our country, and it has been hard for us, as Nimmy infers. But why pick on the black Englishman and blame him for these conditions? Since it is the book that brings about these hard things to bear on the native colored people and the colored people themselves who do it one can draw a own conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused black Lingham and without a retrace of the imagination easily place the responsibility where it rightfully belongs. Lost a Simpson is labelled to the attributio of the American Negro and divide the race on foolish sentiment and pay the American Negro against the foreign Negro and thereby create a schism by dividing the race and weakening its strength. It is labelled to the attributio of the black school played in the house of the old school but the lightened and new Negro school must be built to the power of the former school. The color of a man's skin has nothing to do with the good or bad qualities of that man; it does not, in the birth of a man, determine his suitability to the highest achievement of human endeavor. If I were poking for the black British man in the country would visit this town. But I am of the Hon Marquis of the United States diplomat and the greatest Negro mind of the age has done more toward admiring the Negro man and his deviled and set to motion a plan to promote and defend that cause which has been eagerly accepted by millions of Negroes throughout the world and yet never forgetting the irreversible force that he first a Negro, then an Englishman but a Negro first a Negro last, a Negro all the time.

FEBRUARY 25. 1922 HUNDREDS WITNESS IMPRESSIVE UNVEILING OF DELICIAS, CUBA, CHARTER HUNDREDS WITNESS IMPRESSIVE UNVEILING OF DELICIAS, CUBA, CHARTER Magnificence Friday. Dec 20 1921 A now day has dawned on the life and working of this struggling but hopeful division. Central Delicias No 479 when, on Friday, Dec. 30, at 7 80 p.m. the charter was magnificently and proudly unveiled before an enthusiastic and overcrowded house. Indeed, many had to accommodate themselves in the gallery, for long before the prescribed hour had arrived to start the program every seating accommodation was taxed to its utmost limit by invited guests, members, adherents and friends. The striking feature of this unique gathering was the pictureque note struck by the members of the Black Cross nurses of the Puerto Padre division. It was the talk of the evening among our Cuban friends. The new Negro in this district has at last arisen from his slumber of lethargy, a new spirit is created a new confession for the redemption of Africa is kindled and we pledge ourselves to follow our Moses, the Hon Marcus Garvey until we shall have victoriously and gloriously planted on every hilltop of Africa the Red, Black and Green Heated on the platform were representatives from Chaparral, San Manuel and Puerto Padre divisions. The meeting was called to order precisely at 7:30 p.m when the order From Greenland a Ice Mountain was sung, which was followed by prayer by the chaplain of the San Manuel division The President Mr A M Gordon Froupe then delivered the address of welcome, as follows Delegates, Officers, Members Ladies and, Gentlemen I hereby extend to you in the name of the universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League a hearty welcome and a pleasant evening. It pleased to accept a welcome from its members, and four million active members of the world. I am most happy and proud to impart that we are united together for the progress of this race of ours, consequently we invite you on this majestic occasion for the purpose of witnessing the unveiling of our Charter. This document represents the power invested by the high executive to us here in Dolleinas to form and be a recognized portion of four million scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia and the redemption of Africa. Therefore, we are gathered to unveil to the general public our power as a division of the greatest organization the world has ever seen (rehears), our motto being "One God, One Alm One Destiny." We believe in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God (cloud applause), and in consequence of which we, the members of this division, are prepared to respect all the great men of all races that have upheld the banner of liberty as the great Generals Maximo Gomez Antonio Marcus, Mario Menocal and the Hon Marcus Garvey (cloud applause). At the conclusion of the President's speech he introduced Mr. Norman, the President of the San Manuel Division, as Master of Ceremonies for the occasion. He then thanked the President for the honor conferred upon him in a few well known words and after asking the problem for patience and maintenance of order he proceeded with an enthusiastic address. He took his text "Faith in the L I N A which was hastily cheered at the conclusion A duet was then rendered by Messera Branca and Noralea entitled 'The Afternoon', which made the hit of the evening. Mr Lee Bash, of the Dublin Division, then addressed the audience his subject being 'The Meaning of the Red Bash' and tenor. He was for frequently interrupted by gusty cheers as he explained the colors. Unveiling of Charter This pretty ceremony which was the talk of the evening having been recorded, since fell over the audience, Mrs Vivian E Samuels, our new Lady Secretary, then rendered a beautiful reception entitled 'A Call, which was followed by a short address by the Rev Ewart on the aims and objects of the N. I. A. The curtain which covered the charter was then lifted amidst the cheers and tremendous handlaps of the vast congruence of people assembled in the hall. At this stage of the ceremony the master of ceremonies, the Rev Ewart the First Vice President and Lady President of San Mateo, begged to leave the ceremony as for the only item which was, for the end was approaching. This much regretted to leave. Mr Boulevard of the Due Date Padre branch was called upon to respond to perform the duties as master of ceremonies which he performed most masterly.

A duet was then rendered by Miss J. Chandler and Mr J Norville on-titled "Liberia." The President of the Puerto Padro Division then delivered a forceful and stirring address, which met with tremendous applause. The hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers" was then sung. Mr J U Osborne, Executive Secretary of Puerto Padro Division, then delivered a very forceful address, his subject being "Keep On Going." which kept the audience spellbound for several minutes. A short address was then delivered by Mr McGleno, of the Puerto Padre Division. His subject was "Benevolence and Strength." The President, Mr. A. M. Gordon Procope, of the Deliciosa branch, then delivered a short address in Spanish, explaining the aims and objects of the association for which came tremendous applause from all present, after which he gave thanks to all those present.

N.A. the other why the Literary Council should join the teacher's lecture in English was the use of words in French and presentation of letters. Both lectures were masterpieces in which history, romance and the comic and satirical aspects of things played their part. The person who did not give a method of study with other students the much and more than the rest of the lectures is almost hopeless. The one who did give it to the types of the students who apply some may be tempted to try to do it.

A It is a source of pleasure to be privileged to write on this much disputed subject, and, to say that I consider this an exceptional privilege is but a mild expression of my feeling. The aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are (a) to bring together the Negroes of the world into one solid and indissoluble body, (b) relieve Africa of Anglo-Saxon oppression and domination and restore to the Negro that part of this earth given him by God Almighty which the nations of Europe have partitioned among themselves and there establish a government capable of guiding the future destiny of the Negroes of the universe; (c) build Africa industrially, financially and commercially, establish schools and other educational institutions which shall educate the future citizens of Africa, (d) churches, to administer to the spiritual uplift of the people so promote and encourage agriculture so that Africa within the next few years may be the commercial and Agricultural centre of the world. The effort on the part of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to bring the Negroes of the world into one solid and indissoluble body is a gigantic one and appeals to every intelligent and well-thinking man woman and child of this Negro race. Since no nation race or people has ever brought about the complete salvation of its members while they remained divided, it is equally impossible for the Negro to liberate himself completely until he organizes himself His future destiny therefore, lies wholly on his answer to the call of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. White men for the past three hundred years have endeavored to keep Negroes divided by their doctrine of Negro inferiority and Caucasian superiority but thank God the Universal Negro Improvement Association has appeared on the scene in an opportune time, just when division seemed inevitable, and removed from the eyes of the Negro the scale which presented him from seeing the absurdity of such doctrine. The I A has not only removed the scale from the eyes of Negroes, but it has increased their power of conception that they conceive now more clearly than ever that such doctrines are employed to keep them invaded let them think themselves inferior to other races and not lords of creation so they may never aspire to higher things and remain at the bottom of the ladder of human Progress. The redemption of Africa as an issue of the U N I A has undergone world-wide discussion, and the I N I A because of this, is under the keen observation of the nations that hold possession in Africa. The recent defeat of Spanish troops at the hands of Moroccan tribesmen and recent uprisings in the Belgian Congo are highly significant these incidents are unquestionable proofs that men of Negro blood are no more sleep but wide awake. Negroes like other people have recognized their right to an equal share in the goods of this world and because their pleas requests and askings for that which is theirs are given no attention they have resolved to organize whereby they shall not beg but demand their lawful heritage. To the dominant notions this may be taken to mean that their future existence depends entirely on whether they give Negroes that which they do in mind or give them cause to take it by the application of force. The establishment of a government on the Ground of Africa for Negroes and by Negroes would free the race from prejudice discrimination (instrument of prejudice and man) of the other wrongs with which they now suffer. Thus therefore, is the only proper course which can be adopted if the so-called Negro problem is ever to be solved. Today the Negro as a citizen of the United States, the great democratic country of the present time cannot be President of that Republic.

The Negro, therefore, is organising so as to make possible the establishment of a government whereby he shall not beg, but command, recognition and the same justice accorded other peoples. The building of Africa industrially, financially and commercially and the promotion and encouragement of agriculture should be of deep interest to every living Negro who loves his race and respects himself, because developments along such lines would put Negroes in a position that they would be less dependent on white concerns for employment. raise them above their present state of subjection, make them of great, use to their Motherland by developing her unexploited resources, and solve completely the present unemployment affecting Negroes everywhere The establishment of schools and other educational institutions would assist considerably in enlarging educational facilities among the natives which are at present very limited, in bringing to them a fuller sense of the cause of their existence, in increasing their intelligence so they may evade the deceptions of white men and cause them to realize that they are not destined to be hewers of wood and drawers of water nor are they the offspring of the monkey and ape, as is said by presumptuous Caucasians, but, like other men, possess the traits and characteristics common to all human beings. In other words the education of the natives by their own brothers would arouse in them a new spirit and give life a new meaning. The establishment of churches would be of similar benefit to the natives; in ministering to their spiritual uplift it would give them a better apprehension of Christianity. The teachings they would receive unlike that taught by most white missionaries, would not lead them to look upon God as white but would teach them that God is a Spirit and that white men are not the only images of God, but that black men too, are made after the likeness of God. Briefly, I may say the establishment of such institutions would not only be of benefit to the natives, but to Negroes in general. Reviewing the Alms and Objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association one cannot otherwise but say Negroes should be proud of the existence of such an organization, and be still more proud that it is under the able leadership of a man like the Hon.

LIBERTY HALL, Guantanamo, Jan. 8, 1933. — The usual mass meeting opened with the customary ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," introductory remarks by President Charles H. Thomas, who outlined the purpose for which the meeting was called and asked for behavior and attention. This was a concert given on behalf of the division. Much praise must be given to Messra A. Lindsay and Charles E. Shephard, as chair master and organist, who played an important part in making possible such a grand and pleasant Sunday afternoon. The choir, too, must be congratulated for the excellence of the performance the children also deserve much credit for the excellent manner in which they carried through the performance. It shows that Garveyiam has caught hold on the infants even those who were not on the program got somewhat enthused and desired to go and do it. It shows that much pain and hard work was taken to prepare them. The program was as follows. Second Week LIBERTY HALL, Guantanamo Cuba, January 9. The Literary Deating League opened its literary meeting as usual at about 7:30 lock with the customary ode, "As From Greenland's Ice Mountain's Subject or discussion. What It is to Be a New Negro. The first piece on the program was a song by Mrs. Mary Richard. The condition was well tendered. This is one of Liberty Hall's favorite singers. The first speaker introduced was Prof. A Bolton, who in twenty minutes gave what is known as a most striking and emphatic outline of what it is to be a New Negro His manner and gesture bespoke for him a personality becoming a Liberty Hall great man. Much is to be expected from this giant. He was followed by a recitation by Miss Edith Watt, girl juvenile entitled A Fair Little Girl". It was nicely rendered, the boldness and emphatic manner in which this was delivered proved that much is to be expected. This was followed by a song by Mrs Maria Bennette entitled, "Bring Them In". This was well rendered. The next speaker introducted was Mr R H Barbairol, a fifteen minutes gave what is expected of him This was fol- A by a song by Miss Mary Mende A Africa's Sunny Banks I Stand This was nicely rendered. The last speaker introduced was Capt R. A. Charles. On the subject "What It is to Be a New Negro," he called attention to the fact that the West Indian Negroes must change their attitude toward Negroes of other localities. American Negroes must do likewise. He laid stress on this topic and was heard to great advantage, and announced that the subject will be repeated, so as to have it fully discussed. Closing remark: were made by the chairman, Second Vice-president J. O'Brian, after which the National Ethiopian Anthem was sung, bringing to a close at 9 o'clock a most successful THE U. N. I. A.

The president, Charles A. Thomas, in the chair, after making a few remarks turned the meeting over to Second Vice-president J O Brian to preside as chairman, in turn thanked the president for the honor bestowed on him to preside over such a meeting. The subject for discussion was "What It Is to Be a New Negro (continued). The first piece on the program was a song by Mrs. Mathais entitled "The Star Is Shining." This piece was well rendered and deserved much praise. A recitation by Rupert France, "Goodby, Goodby," followed by a song by Mr. A Laindany, "For Years and Years" called for an encore. This is one of our intellectual giants and much can be expected. A performance by nine children was next given. This was a song entitled We Are U' N' A' As." This was masterfully rendered, taking their ages into consideration. Credit is to be given to those who prepared them. They displayed the true spirit of Garveyism. The first speaker introduced was Richard H. Bacholar, local chaplain who spoke logically and emphatically and kept his hearers bound for over twenty minutes. Bongs by Mira Meade B. C. N., was well rendered A speech by Master Ernest Francis, "A New Negro" was done with clearness and enthusiasm and received rousing cheers. A restitution by Mrs Nathals, entitled Two Soldiers was delivered exceptionally good. Song by Mira J. Jones, "Love at Home restoration by Misa Whitening entitled He Satisfied both went over for much applause. The next speaker introduced was Capt I.A. Charles who spoke on What is the New Negro". He called attention to the Negro achievement and was listened to and received loud applause followed by a song by Misa Julia Dawson the lady president. Fourth Week LIBERTY HALL Guantanamo, Monday Evening, Jan 23 - The literary debating meeting was opened as usual From Greenland's Ice Mountains" was sung Opening remarks by Chairman Charles A. Thomas, who spoke encouragingly He will not make sacrifice as to helping this grand and noble cause, being president of this division nearly a year and in good standing, but is not prepared to invest in none of the alien corporations, and although his attention has been called to the constitution we do not feel to be congulatory and therefore, revert the idea of buying shares or loans. Can the man lead those, who have made the supreme sacrifice. On Tuesday evening, January 24, at 1:30 o'clock, the meeting was opened by the chairman in the usual way Rev Alexander Charles, was acting chaplain, as the local chaplain, R. A. Bacholar, was indisposed. The business before the house was a recommendation from the Hon Advisory Board to the general membership that the time has come for Guantanamo Division to make a drive for a Liberty Hall. Also the communications in connection with the recent arrest of the President General and the press release. They were fully discussed, after which Captain R. A. Charles, chairman of the Honorable Advisory Board, offered the following resolution. Be it resolved, That this division having learned with deep secret of the recent arrest of the President General of the I. N. I. A. and A. C. L., through some malicious source, so as to put out of commission the head of the organization he represents, that this division send a letter of sympathy to the President General through the parent body, and that the Guantanamo Division pledge its indefatigable determination to stand solidly behind the cause and to support the leader to a successful in- After this was read it was put to the house and seconded by the lady president, Theodora Thomas. It was then put to a vote and unanimously carried. Thereupon the chairman, Charles A. Thomas, appointed the following officers as a committee Captain D A Charles, chairman, Earnest Bridges, third vice-president, and David Humany, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Continuing the literary exercises, the second vice-president occupied the chair. The first piece on the program was a song by Mrs. M Meade. Address by H Rangunette. This was masterly done and deserves credit. Song by Miss Iva and Clarissa Hillhouse nicely rendered. Their two young children deserve much praise; they are certainly young Garveyettes. This was followed by an address by Mr Henry Stephens (Logan) on the U N I A. The speaker was logical and arose to great eloquence, so enthused that he thrilled the audience in Liberty Hall. He closed in Spanish receiving thum derous applause. Recitation by Master Earnest Francis (Juvenile) Black and Green. The next speaker introduced was Capt R. A. Charles who gave an impromptu address. He spoke for twenty minutes, during which time he poured out a volume of historical significance bringing past, present and future happenings to bear with present-day conditions. He laid stress on the recent arrest of the great leader of our race, and showed that all great and uncompromising leaders are subject to most opposition, but with Divine help, "the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922 affect win," to quote Lady Manrietta Vinto Davis' motto. "He is divinely sent and must be divinely protected." Life of his sincerity, honesty, undismayed and undaunted courage and his willingness to fight to a finish. He admired the spirit of the members of the association, the marvelous confidence manifested in his integrity. There is absolutely no danger of failure or disintegration of the U N. I. A. it is too strong to recode. So emphasize he in his utterances that one could have seen the earnestness in his face, and kept his hearers in a serious mood throughout, and received rousing cheer. The next speaker introduced was Lady President Theodora Thomas, who also spoke encouragingly and called the attention of the women of the Negro race to stand £200,000 behind their fearless leader. Hon Marcus Garvey Haid she, I believe in the God of Marcus Garvey, that God that created all men equal. She laid stress on the local division coming together to make a drive for a Liberty Hall in Guantanama, and expressed deep sympathy with the President-General and the recent occurrence in New York city. But, said she, the women never deceived their races, so as the women stood by their Bavour, Jesus Christ so will the women of our race in this age stand behind their Negro leader (Cheers). This was followed by a song by Treasurer S. Hillhouse Fear Not, the Lord is My Shield" Closing responses by the chairman, who thanked all those who have taken part in making the evening a grand success. The meeting was brought to a close after the singing of the National Ethiopian Arthon at 10 o'clock. Thanking you for space, Mr Editor, yours for Negro progress.

I was requisitioned by the Executive Board of Ludderia Division 294, of which I am president, to further the cause in the interior. I took my departure from Ludderia from the Coast Line on December 18, 1921, in a jimcrow car stuffed to suffocation. One could scarcely breathe, the atmospheric conditions being such as to make one delicious. But, thanks to Providence, I stuck it out it took us nineteen hours for the first lap, that is, from Luderits to Koetmanakoop. I alighted from the train Saturday morning at 6:30 and was housed by one of our sisters, Mrs. Nellie Soteren, for the balance of the day and night until the early hours of Sunday morning, awaiting the incoming main train from Cape Town for Windheek, the capital of the protectorate. My departure was delayed here again on account of train not arriving at the scheduled hour, which worked out at a difference of two and one-half hours delay. After arrival upon making inquiry I was told departure would be at half past 10 Sunday morning, which throw my watch back two and one-half hours from the scheduled time at Windhoek, for our division in Ludoris had cabled my departure for Windhoek, and had there been no delay I would have arrived in Windhoek at half-past 10 Sunday night. Instead I was ushered into Windhoek exactly at 1 a.m. On my arrival I was met by a vast host of our race that set me thinking with these words on my brain: 'Are these the stalwarts who are going to redeom their fatherland?' I nodded in the affirmative, but not visibly I was ushered into a hansom drawn by two horses of our own training after receiving a welcome address and a bouquet from Mrs. Jabba Leah, who accompanied myself and the secretary Mr Paul D Ayeboel, whom I have foun' to be an earnest and painstaking worker for the cause. But the real surprise was yet in store for us, for on emerging from those proxints of the station we were met by squadrons of mounted men who escorted us to the location and halted by the superintendent of locations' office where I was met by a seething mass of humanity to hear the first gospel of Garvoyism in Windbook Rather sorry I cannot draft out in writing my own addresses, but suffice it to say I could not get away from the crowd before a m., in the early hours of the morning. In resuming the journey to my proposed residence I was met by a chorus of voices that thrilled. The air cannot be beaten I guess, on the universe. Liberty Hall would be thronged to hear the molodies of their African sisters at their beat. This our fatherland must be freed from the white man's rule, for his reign is simply stiffing the talents and progressiveness of our people. We that are of the U.K. I know from what point of view I am speaking I say God bless the Hon Marcus Garvey, for with the vision of God he has brought new light among his people. Here in Windhook our people are kept down to the lowest bolt. Speak about the mailed flat of Germany we have something more solid to contend with now than Germany's flat. It is the mailed flat of the Lion which in his paws and knows the danger that awaits us in those claws here. I give you, Mr. Editor a brief outline of some of our grievances. In Windhook our people are known to be horderness, for that is the natural resource of this part of the continent for all of the arable land is in the hands of our oppressors and here are his laws.

There is not even a lavatory to go into in a city with a population of about 6,000 souls, and you can just imagine the amount of taxes that this poor and downtrodden race of ours has to pay into the hands of our oppressors, with not the least representation or a voice in the government of their country. Oh, this state of affairs is awful to think about. One may ask, How can we bring about a better state of affairs in a community? But these things can be accomplished through our united efforts in the U N. I A. A and C League. In this organization its salvation. A finer type of the Negro race it is hard to locate than our race in their fatherland in this District of Windhoek, but no opportunity is allowed him to strike out for something better, as I have previously stated. Humanity is stifling here in its birth. Oh, God when will you hear our prayers and pleadings and relieve us of this state of bondage? It is wonderful to see how our people is suffering and bears it quite cheerfully. Our need here at present is to acquire a hall suitable for housing our members. There is at present not one 20 square enclosed. You will find copy of application that I have sent Municipal Council asking permission to erect a seat, which I trust will be granted. Horry to state, there are all huts in this vicinity for as materials are up at such high prices. I guess it will take a good lot of dough" to erect a suitable one and all our meetings are held on the veld. The other wouldn't think about hiring us one of others. I must state here also that it is a burning question with us at present and really hampers the progress of our organization in this locality. There isn't one docent structure in this community to house 40 men, let alone nearly a thousand members at present. Quite on the eve of my returning to my abode in Ludurits there were 800 enrolled members, for how long I am not an optimist to state here, for, as I have stated we require sound leadership in this district.

Three natives (Guatemala Indians) and two Negroes were going to their work and the colored man, not thinking of murder, were keeping ahead of the native Indiana, and these cruel natives riddled the body of one of the Negroes, and after they shot him they parted his head from his body with a machete, the other Negro escaped by a very narrow chance. Enclosed you will find a written statement sent me by Mr Thomas H. Moulton, who is the foreman of the farm that the man worked on, and as you will see, Mr. Moulton wants this statement published in your first issue of the Negro World so I would thank you kindly to do so, as some of our people in different parts of the world need to know these things that they may see what our people are sufferers, and the absolute necessity of our getting together in order that in the near future we will be able to demand retribution for the many acts of injustice that is being done to our people. Besides these occurrences as reported by Mr. Moulton, just two days ago another native attempted to kill one of our women, but fortunately he was instantly shot instead of having the chance to kill a female member of our race. All of these instances have passed and the British Minister has not even interested himself to call same to the attention of the government authorities, but the writer has reported all of them to the proper Minister asking him to give his attention to same. Followmen, the time has come for our united effort, the world is lined up against the race of ours, and it is for us to unite our forces morally and financially to frustrate the plans of our enemies and rulers, and anyone else who tries to stand against our planting the banner of the Red, Black and Green on the sunny soil of Africa.

As far as we the Negroes of this division are concerned we are considered to be living outside of humanity. The natives of Guatemala have gone so far as to express the belief that "we have the Negroes as we want them, we will take them one by one". In one case on the 11th of January, one Negro who played his accordion for their amusement, feeling too tired to play, told them he was going home. They stopped him from NOW READY 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, Branches, 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 organisation, either as an officer, an employee or an agent. This record, as stolen, may be used by the person or persons concerned, to write to the members and officers of the divisions of the organization for their own sinister or other purposes. Divisional officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association receiving letters from organizations or other movements or individuals, asking them to transfer their alliance from the U.N. to their, or asking any obligation, will ignore such appeals, and will realize immediately that such communication had its origin in the desire of the organization, movement or individual to undermine the solidarity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You have joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association from the realization of an object. You should support it for that object, and not allow others who may be more self-eastern to confuse you by discrediting your meagre finance in supporting everything and weakening all when you could have supported one good thing and made it successful. New York going and fired two bullets into his body. By the help of Divine Providence and the doctor at the Quirinale hospital (U. F. Co.), he survived. A second case of murder took place on the 2d of February. At about 7 o'clock a. m., just as the deceased started to his work in the bushes (two Negroes and three native Spaniards), they also raddied four bullets from their revolvers into his body; then not satisfied, they chopped him on the neck and parted the back of his head with five blows from their machetes. The other Negro had to run; he had no arms. He reported the case of murder to the farm people. The notice that has been taken is very small. The judges from Morales, Virginia, and others of the same type, who said as follows: They are not going to look for any one in the bushes, be it Negro or Spaniard. All have their rights to live in the country and work. The U. F. Co. brought the Negroes here, but if anything starts there will be no end. The deceased claimed for his home Demerara. He came and lived among us lately and had promised me to join or fall in line with his dues and tax this month of February. He was very interested in the work of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. As members of the U. N. L. A. we have plodged ourselves to render our united support and service to our fellow men. Without the help of the U. F. Co. we have done our duty in delivering the body to the bowels of the earth from whence it came. THOMAS H. MOULTON. Oneida Farm, Guantamala, C. A. February 4, 1823.

What It is to Be a New Negro. The first piece on the program was a song by Mrs. Mary Richards. This condition was well rendered. This is one of Liberty Hall's favorite songs. The first speaker introduced, was Prof A Bolton, who in twenty minutes gave what is known as a most striking and emphatic outline of what it is to be a New Negro His manner of gesture beokes for him a personally becoming a Liberty Hall great man.

On the subject "What It Is to Be a New Negro," he called attention to the fact that the West Indian Negroes must change their attitude toward Negroes of other localities.

This piece was well rendered and deserved much praise. A recitation by Rupert Frances, "Goodby, Goodby," followed by a song by Mr A Laindany, "For Years and Years" called for an encore. This is one of our intellectual giants and much can be expected. A performance by nine children was next given. This was a song entitled "We Are U N A A." This was masterfully rendered, taking their ages into consideration. Credit is to be given to those who prepared them. They displayed the true spirit of Garveyism.

Fourth Week LIBERTY HALL Guantanamo, Monday Evening, Jan 23 - The literary debate meeting was opened as usual. From Greenland's icy Mountains" was sung Opening remarks by Chairman Charles A. Thomas, who spoke encouragingly. He will not make sacrifice as to helping this grand and noble cause, being president of this division nearly a year and in good standing, but is not prepared to invest in none of the alien corporations, and although his intention has been called to the constitution we do not feel to be obligatory and therefore, revent the idea of buying shares or loans. Can this man lead those who have made the supreme sacrifice. On Tuesday evening, January 24, at 7:30 o'clock, the meeting was opened by the chairman in the usual way Rev Alexander Charles, was acting chaplain, as the local chaplain, R. A. Machollar, was indisposed. The business before the house was a recommendation from the Hon Advisory Board to the general membership that the time has come for Guantanamo Division to make a drive for a Liberty Hall. Also the communications in connection with the recent arrest of the President General and the press release. They were fully discussed, after which Captain R. A. Charles, chairman of the Honorable Advisory Board, offered the following resolution Be I resolved. That this division having learned with deep regret of the recent arrest of the President General of the I N I A. and A. C. L., through some malicious source, so as to put out of commission the head of the organization he represents, that this division and a letter of sympathy to the President General through the parent body and that the Guantanamo Division pledge its indefatigable determination to stand solidly behind he cause and to support the leader to a successful issue. After this was read it was put to the house and seconded by the lady president Theodora Thomas. It was then put to a vote and unanimously carried Thereupon the chairman, Charles A Thomas appointed the following officers as a committee Captain D A Charles, chairman, Earnest Bridges, third vice-president, and David Ramsay, chairman of the Board of Trustees (Continuing the literary exercises, the second vice-president occupied the chair.

Their two young children deserve much praise, they are certainly young Garvoyeles. This was followed by an address by Mr Henry Stephens (Legion) on the U N L A. The speaker was logical and arose to great eloquence so enthused that he thrilled the audience in Liberty Hall He closed in Spanish receiving thun-derous applause. Recitation by Master Earnest Francis (Juvenile), Black and Green. The next speaker introduced was Capt R. A. Charles who gave an impromptu address. He spoke for twenty minutes, during which time he poured out a volume of historical significance bringing past, present and future happenings to bear with present-day conditions. He laid stress on the recent arrest of the great leader of our race, and showed that all great and uncompromising leaders are subject to most opposition, but with Divine help, "the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1922 fittest win," to quote Lady Henrietta Vinto Davis' motto. "He is divinely sent and must be divinely protected." litte of his sincerity honesty, undismayed and undaunted courage and his willingness to fight to a finish. He admired the spirit of the members of the association, the marvelous confidence manifested in his integrity. There is absolutely no danger of failure or disintegration of the U N. L. A. it is too strong to recode. So emphatic was he in his utterances that one could have seen the earnestness in his face, and kept his hearers in a serious mood throughout, and received rousing choirs. The next speaker introduced was Lady President Theodora Thomas, who also spoke encouragingly and called the attention of the women of the Negro race to stand 2,000,000 behind their fearless leader, Hon Marcus Garvey. Said he, I believe in the God of Marcus Garvey, that God that created all men equal. She laid stress on the local division coming together to make a drive for a Liberty Hall in Guantanamo, and expressed deep sympathy with the President-General and the recent occurrence in New York city. But, said she, the women never deceived their races, so as the women stood by their Saviour, Jesus Christ, so will the women of our race in this age stand behind their Negro leader (Choers). This was followed by a song by Treasurer B. Hillhouse "Fear Not, the Lord is My Shield" Closing responses by the chairman who thanked all those who have taken part in making the evening a grand success. The meeting was brought to a close after the singing of the National Ethiopian Anthom at 10 o'clock. Thanking you for space, Mr Editor, yours for Negro progress.

I was requisitioned by the Executive Board from Ludderia Division 294, of which I am president, to further the cause in the interior. I took my departure from Ludderia from the Coast Line on December 18, 1921, in a jimcrow car stuffed to suffocation. One could scarcely breathe, the atmospheric conditions being such as to make one delirious. But, thanks to Providence, I stuck in out it took us nineteen hours for the first lap, that is, from Luderits to Keetmanakoop. I alighted from the train Saturday morning at 8:30 and was housed by one of our sisters, Mira. Nellie Botersen, for the balance of the day and night until the early hours of Sunday morning, awaiting the incoming mail train from Cape Town for Wind-beck the capital of the protectorate. My departure was delayed here again on account of train not arriving at the scheduled hour, which worked out at a difference of two and one-half hours delay. After arrival upon making inquiry I was told departure would be at half-past 10 Sunday morning, which threw my watch back two and one-half hours from the scheduled time at Windhook, for our division in Ludoris had cabled my departure for Windhook, and had there been no delay I would have arrived in Windhook at half-past 10 Sunday night. Instead I was ushered into Windhook exactly at 1 a.m. On my arrival I was met by a vast host of our race that set me thinking with those words on my brain "Are these the stalwarts who are going to redeem their fatherland?" I nodded in the affirmative, but not visibly I was ushered into a hansom drawn by two horses of our own training after receiving a welcome address and a bouquet from Mr. Jabba Leah, who accompanied myself and the secretary. Mr Paul D Ayebohlan, whom I have foun⁴ to be an earnest and painstaking worker for the cause. But the real surprise was yet in store for us, for on emerging from those precincts of the station we were met by sundrouts of mounted men who escorted us to the location and halted by the superintendent of 'locations' office where I was met by a seething mass of humanity to hear the first gospel of Garvoyism in Windhook Rather sorry I cannot draft out in writing my own addresses, but suffice it to say I could not get away from the crowd before a m.m., in the early hours of the morning in resuming the journey to my proposed residence I was met by a choral of voices that thrilled. The air cannot be beaten I guess on the universe Liberty Hall would be thronged to hear the melodies of their African sisters at their best. This our fatherland must be freed from the white man's rule, for his reign is simply attifing the talents and progressiveness of our people. We that are of the U.N.A know from what point of view I am speaking I any God bless the Hon Marcus Garvey, for with the vision of God he has brought new light among his people. Here in Windheok our people are kept down to the lowest ebb. Speaking about the mailed flat of Germany, we have something more solid to contend with now than Germany's flat it is the mailed flat of the Lion which is his paws, and knows the danger that awaits us in those clauses here. I give you, Mr. Editor, a brief outline of some of our grievances. In Windheok our people are known to be herdismon, for that is the natural resource of this part of the continent for all of the arable land is in the hands of our oppressors and here are his laws.

Oh, this state of affairs is awful to think about. One may ask. How can we bring about a better state of affairs in a community?

In this organization its salvation A finer type of the Negro race it is hard to locate than our race in their fatherland in this District of Windheek, but no opportunity is allowed him to strike out for something better, as I have previously stated. Humanity is stifling here in its birth. Oh, God, when will you hear our prayers and pleadings and relieve us of this state of bondage? It is wonderful to see how our people is suffering and bears it quite cheerfully. Our need here at present is to acquire a hall suitable for housing our members. There is at present not one 20 feet square enclosed. You will find copy of application that I have sent Municipal Council asking permission to erect a种, which I trust will be granted. Sorry to state, there are all huts in this vicinity for as materials are up at such high prices.

CHARLE8 H ESTE NATIVE INDIANS KILL NEGROES IN PUERTO BARRIOS, GUATEMALA NATIVE INDIANS KILL NEGROES IN PUERTO BARRIOS, GUATEMALA Dear Mr. Editor—Permit me space in your most valued journal to make public the following incident which occurred on the second of this month in this country in the district of Morala, on a farm of the United Fruit Company. Three natives (Gustemala Indians) and two Negroes were going to their work and the colored man, not thinking of murder, were keeping ahead of the native Indians, and these cruel natives riddled the body of one of the Negroes, and after they shot him they parted his head from his body with a machote, the other Negro escaped by a very narrow chance. Enclosed you will find a written statement sent me by Mr Thomas H. Moulton, who is the foreman of the farm that the man worked on, and as you will see, Mr. Moulton wants this statement published in your first issue of the Negro World, so I would thank you kindly to do so, as some of our people in different parts of the world need to know these things that they may see what our people are suffer, and the absolute necessity of our getting together in order that in the near future we will be able to demand retribution for the many acts of injustice that is being done to our people. Besides these occurrences as reported by Mr. Moulton, just two days ago another native attempted to kill one of our women, but fortunately he was instant shot instead of having the chance to kill a female member of our race. All of these instances have passed and the British Minister has not even interested himself to call same to the attention of the government authorities, but the writer has reported all of them to the proper Minister, asking him to give his attention to same. Fellowmen, the time has come for our united effort, the world is lined up against this race of ours, and it is for us to unite our forces morally and financially to frustrate the plans of our enemies and rallors, and anyone else who tries to stand against our planting the banner of the Red, Black and Green on the sunny soil of Africa.

By the help of Divine Providence and the doctor at the Quirigula hospital (U. F. Co.), he survived. A second case of murder took place on the 22 of February. At about 8 o'clock a.m., just as the deceased started to his work in the bushes (two Negroes and three native Spaniards), they also riddled four bullets from their revolvings into his body; then, not satisfied, they chopped him on the neck and parted the back of his head with five blows from their machetes. The other Negro had to run; he had no arms. He reported the case of murder to the farm people. The notice that has been taken is very small. The judges from Morales Virginia, and others of the same type, who said as follows: They are not going to look for any one in the bushes, be it Negro or Spaniard. All have their rights to live in the country and work. The U. F. Co. brought the Negroes here, but anything starts there will be no end. The deceased claimed for his home Demerara. He came and lived among it lately and had promised me to join or fall in line with his dues and tax this month of February. He was very interested in the work of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L.

Ha sido el Egypto el que conquista la Siria y derrumbo su poder, ha sido en Egypto donde Alejandro arraigo las memorias de sus conquistas y donde eligio el sitio para instalar la capital de su imperio, ha sido a Egypto donde Napoleon fue después de sus, furiosas batallas en Italia, y de donde salio para arrabar el poder a la mueva republica francesa, ha sido en Egypto donde Nelson dio el primer golpe a aquel ponnemonte, ha sido el Egypto quien dio a Gran Bretania la laíve del oriente, es el Egypto actuando dicha llave y sera el Egypto el que hava de decidir la suerte del imperio bruticano Desde la iniciación de este gran movimiento dentro de las actividades del mundo, la atracción y las aspiraciones de los oportunitas se han extremado, con el objeto de hallar el camino de introducción en el círculo de esta causa poderosa. El propósito de estos paracitos no es solamente la realización de la idea que envuelva el movimiento, sino también el control o gobierno de este. Todos los gobierno, corporaciones u organizaciones han sufrido siempre las malversaciones de elementos que carecen de honestidad, los cuales les han colocado er graves dificultades, ocasionándoles grandes sinsabores. También nuestra organización ha sufrido los prejuicios ocasionados por esta clase de individuos, cuyas conciencias fluéston malendas por el espíritu de una ambición personal. Gratitud por los beneficios erudito tos que el mundo ha recibido de nuestras manas, debe ser por lo menos reintegrada por el poder que vuestra Majestad ejerza, practi cando justicia, lo cual es un derecho correspondiente a todo hombre libre. Desde su emancipación, la raza negra ha venido sufriendo una pérdida explotación, la cual le ha imposibilitado para su desarrollo en la vida práctica. Un gran cambio se ha desarrollado con la iniciación de nuestro movimiento. Elementos de nuestra raza, haciendo uso de una tactica maliciosa, se incorporan a la organización con el objetivo de beneficiarse personalmente. Se ocaciona un conflicto entre el bien y el mal; estos elementos ambiciosos se declaran enemigos de los defensores de la causa, siendo el resultado calumnias, persecuciones y propaganda en contra de la organización. He de significar que nosotros los egipcios modernos no somos una raza conquistadora. Con el pretexto de restaurar el orden en dos domínios de Bey, Franía se anexo a Tums en 1881 y Lord Granville adoptó la misma política, para coartar las libertades de m país. Todo esto en unton con los abusos cometidos por Turquia, patrocinados por ciertos poderes europeos, ha traído por consecuencia el que el prestigio de la Gran Bretania y sus subditos es muy poco considerado en el Oriente, demostrando el hecho de que para poder viajar por ciertos territorios, los ingleses han de asumirse la nacionalidad de otros poderes europeos, como medio de mayor seguridad personal La prensa de nuestra raza ha sido informada y persuadida para que llene las columnas de sus periódicos con falsedades en contra nuestra; las autoridades federales han sido informadas por medio de cartas y comunicaciones anónimas, para que se nos persiga como infringidores de la ley. Estas corruptas especies humanas que se vanaglorian en la ejecución de tales actos, han de recordar en no lejano tiempo que un acto deshonesto les ha de llevar de un crimen a otro, hasta obtener el castigo merecido. Vuestra Majestad ha de admirar que la poignée seunda no solamente por Sir Edward Grey (Lord Grey) sino también por el actual Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, es responsable por la presente intranquilidad en la India El curso que sigue La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra en el camino hacia la realización del gran ideal por la emancipación de la raza, no puede ni debe, bajo ninguna circunstancia, ser interrupido. Cualquier esfuerzo por la destrucción del gran poder que nuestro movimiento ha adquirido, seria innecesario en inutil. Solamente nos coloca en mejor posición para poder estudiar el carácter de los agravios y dar a los graviantes el trato que a ellos corresponda. Habiendo suo vuestra Majestad responsable por la libertad de Arabi Pasha de su encarcelamiento en Ceylon, abrigamos la esperanza de que haciendo uso del poder que os confiere la constitución britanica vuestra Majestad ha de subsanar el descontento existente en el Egipto por mas de cuarenta años. Intranquilidad en el Oriente ocasiona guerra, guerra en el Oriente ocasionará desencerco y probable contaminación en Occidente. Varios individuos, enemigos de su propia raza, se han edificado a negociar en certificados de acciones de la Black tar Lifo, tratando de acumular el mayor número de certificados posible, con el objeto de establecer una deman- en contra de dicha corporación. Estos no realizan que im corporación es un auxiliar del gran objeto de la Orinización, existiendo entre ellas la miema relación que ciste entre el Departamento de Navegación Federal y gobierno de los Estados Unidos. Confiamos en que los asuntos de la independencia de Egipto, en manos de vuestra Majestad, no han de ser influenciados por la representación de un Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores reacionario. Tengo el honor de ser vuestro obediente servidor. DUSE MOHAMED ALI, Official de la Imperial Ottoman Majidie. Vice-presidente de la Anglo-Ottoman Society. Londres Historior del Egipto ete Toda vez que el Departamento de Navegación Federal inga un deficit, sea cual fuere la cantidad, el gobierno continuará en la condución de los asuntos de dicha corrupción, para beneficio de la nación. Un mil, diez mil, den millares de dollars no han de ser obstáculo para la continuación de la gran labor que tiene encomendada La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y sus corporaciones aliadas, siendo esta la responsable del más mínimo céntimo invertido, del mismo modo que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos proteje los intereses de su Departamento de Navegación. Cidad de Nueva York, Feb 4 de 1922. Abraham Lincoln De la gran herencia que Abraham Lincoln dejo a la humanidad nad ha aumentado tanto con el tiempo como su peculiar personalidad Fué más grande, tal como la vemos ahora, que su misma obra Es mas que una reminiscencia ornamenta ha hecho mucho mas que salvar a la nación y liberar a los esclavos El entendimiento de algunos es tan corto que escasamente ven mas alla de la extención de un brazo; pero los que estudian las situaciones con mas detenimiento, pueden ver mas alla del inmediato presente, toda vez que el programa de cualquier movimiento cause admiración y consternación universal. Nuestra Organización se mantiene fuerte; posee una fuerza universal reconocida. Lincoln tuvo en su carácter un unionismo, un equilibrio de cualidades que lo une al mismo tiempo a la tierra vial cielo, a los hombres de humilde condición y a los que pueden desarrollar un gran poder. Y cual es ahora el factor más provechoso de estudio, si habia en su carácter el elemento que predominase sobre los demas? Este aspecto es que en su concepción de las cosas, la moralidad era lo primero. Para haber podido llegar a ocupar el puesto que intentamos retener ante el mundo civilizado, nuestra organización ha empleado centenares de miles de dollars; este financiar invertida ha de traer como consecuencia en no lejano tiempo; el resultado que corresponde al culto de nuestro movimiento: Hemos practicado el trainjo de los emisarios; hemos esclarecido el camino para un alumno brillante; colocados en esta posición ningun contención que guarros presunta; ha de evitar la victoria que nos corrona nuestros grandes esfuerzos por el progreso No era un materialista. Su tranquilla presencia es una contradicción enfática para la escuela que hace un dios del estomago. El mundo esta actualmente lleno de un rudoso parloote sobre economia. Lincoln no era principalmente un estadista versado en economia. Como medio para llegar a un fin deseaba la riqueza, pero no la descaba como un fin. Los valores espirituales fueron para el los únicos que contaban realmente Fuera de desear que mas jovenes intelectuales nuestros fueran lincolnianos. Otra cualidad es diga de ser recordada en estos días. Lincoln fue un innovador, pero era también un conservador. Vio que no habia lugar para la revolución; que todo progreso era gradual, que era tal le yimutable de la naturalza, que el desconocimiento de esta ley lanjaba a la humanidad hacia atras. Ojala fuese esto también mas caro para las mentes de todos los que ahora presumen de dar consejos concerneimentos al progreso social. New York Tribune Inglaterra en Egipto Cuando estudiamos descendiente las causas de la ocupación del Egypto por la Gran Bretafia, deducimos que la intención de esta ha estado siempre envuelta en grandes razgos de hipocrecia Inglaterra se posesiono del país 'haciendose cargo de sus deudas y protejiendo el Canal de Suez y la ruta hacia la Linda" Su política allí se asemeya a la del imperialismo benevolente, establecida en todo el universo. El espirito progresista de los nativos se ha despertado considerablemente, durante la domination britanica. Un numero de hombres de gran inteligencia han influido directamente laborando en secreto por largo tiempo, en su pau y en otro sitio de condiciones semejantes. Mas las acciones imperialistas nos seran nunca oblidades, particularmente en esta epoca de libertad de pensamiento. La Gran-Bretana esta dispuesta a ofrecer al Egipto los siguientes terminos: que las comunaciones imperiales impunse para el Egipto sean aseguradas. La Gran Bretana retendra los derechos y pederas para proteger a las comunidades extranjeras, cuyo golpe en las presentes condiciones dependen en ella, la protección del Egipto en contra de la agresión e intervención directa o indirecta. Si estas garantias son aseguradas, Gran Bretana esta dispue a reconecer al Egipto como un estado soberano. Problemablemente estas proposiciones sean aceptadas y entonces la India sera la una posición descontenta del imperio. Otro Acto de Salvajismo Cometido en el Estado de Arkansas Aumonta el Número de Linchamientos. Harry Harrison, residente en Malverne, Arkansas, fue secuestrado de la custodia del conus onda de policía de decha población por un grupo de mas de doscientas personas y colgado un arbol. Harrison fue acusado de haber molestado muertes blancas. La misma excusa de siempre. Has cuando tendremos que soportar la furia de estos grupos salivares, los cuales se agrupan para aclarar sus venganzas a expensas de la vula de seres indefensos. Senador Francés Opuesto a Cedar Posesiones Antillanas Los Estados Unidos esperan de que francia lesced las Antillas y otras posiciones como el medio más fácil para pagar la deuda de la guerra, manifiesta Henry Lamery miembro de nuestra raza, Senador por Martína, en un caluroso articulo en el "Feliae" "Los americanos han de entender de una vez y para siempre, que las antillas francesas podran ser quitadas a la madre patria por medio de violencia, como lo que Alsace Lorraine en 1871, pero el nunca lo consentir voluntariamente." La Soberania de Haiti Peligra Informes recibidos de Puerto Principe, Haiti, dicen que allo se espera en repéritation del presidente Harding, al general L. H. Russell, sin que hasta la fecha se sepa el cargo que vaya a desempeñar en el gobierno haitiano. Se teme allo que sea borrado el ultimo vestigio de la independencia de Haiti, con el nombramiento de un comisario norteño cano, contra el conjuito a temido protestando ante el conjuito del senado de los Istados. Unidos, el prominente haitiano Dr. Pierre Hudcourt. Las elecciones se acercan, pero hasta a fecha no se ha convoidó de acuerdo con la ley, a elecciones de la asamblea nacional que ha denombrado sucesor al presidente Informe Acerca de la Cuestión de Egipto El gobierno británico ha concentrado su atención en la cuestión de Egipto, con motivo del informe presentado por el mariscal Allenby, recomendando que se emprendan las negociaciones con los nacionalistas egipcios, a condicion de abandonar el protectorado que tiene Inglaterra, una vez establecido al nuevo gobierno. Los agentes del gobierno británico han hecho negociaciones con Saruat Pasha, leader de los nacionalistas moderados, para la formación de un gabinete. Pide la Evacuclio de Lea Tropas Americhnas en Santo Domingo El periodico La Prensa de Costa Rica publica un editorial acerca de la ocupación de Santo Domingo por las tropas americanas y de la reciente investigación que practicó la comisión del senado de los Estados Unidos en esa república El periodico en cuestión llega a la conclusion contraria a la que l'ego el senado americano, respecto de que la ocupación debe continuar La comisión nombrada por los Estados Unidos, dice el diario, no podía encontrar fundados los cargos, por que ello habria sido la declaración propia de actos tan contrarios a los principios de cultura y humanidad, que huberan mercido la censura universal Por eso, mas fácil era para ellos declarar, que todavía Santo Domingo no estaba capacitado para go bernarse por si mismo y que necesitaaba que una fuerza militar con unarua al frente de sus destinos WEEKLY SERMON --- he may be but a little part of what faith was has unto him. And from there we are able to go forth with it, not stinging as some of the now in the future. As a result of our efforts it would be a long faith which we still have to live. I will continue to remain an enjoyer of the heavens, also to forgetting masses were churned toasted. He went and did them and when he returned the angel said, Did thou remained I must have fled. I will emphasize, a living faith in his Gift of Tritionenius. The priest gave the priest's slander to the widow to remember her son from the guilty death and had him restrained with golden ones without any effort in his part. The priest mirrors the whole story of the good Samaritan. A living faith engages in doing the thing of the present, leaving the result to God. Second. Assess of God now what is our mission? To reflect our Father's right to represent our life here and to possess our heritage. We were created for the gray of God and therefore let us to the task of disowning our God given nature in a treatment of each other. Let us to the brightness of the crayfish burdened with the unmerged truth. Let us to the farthering of the Father's mission in disseminating love to the sin cursed lot of men who lay no claim to their heritage. Let us to the spreading of the truths that the Father heals the body as well as the soul, and that faith in Him will demonstrate His love and care in that direction. Our Father must be faithfully represented. The son is the Gate, being He his or should have the likeness of his Father. If he fails to resemble his Father, then he is none of His and not a son. He goes forth making the world better because he lived and connected his fellows. He is daily found in the lowly places of life bringing sunshine and gladness, without drawing attention to his acts or disbasing his identity in loud words. He is ever faithful in his representation. In the spirit of his Father just yet merciful and yet kind firm, yet compassionate. Our heritage is no mean one hence it should be possessed for its intrinsic use. A person position does not prestige and control. It is a divine of strength and goodness like unto the Maker. It makes us render us prodigals. Its right use gives us wisdom and honor. Third Does it pay to be a son of God? The experiences of many who have accomplished the worth-while things of earth testify in the affirmative. But it only pays in proportion to the joy we get in demonstrating as sons of God rather than as birelings or sons of men Some will say that this earth has no place for the sons of God in the affairs of the sons of men. We answer by saying, man was created for the glory of God, and given a heavenly and earthly capacity, in conjunction with a wonderful mentality. As a son, he lives up to his heritage. Other than a son he fails to grasp his full opportunity and is, therefore, a warped individual. Times like those demand sons of God. I know naught of what the future holds. I care less about the beauties to be disclosed through death. But I am all concerned about men being sons of God now. Of men having the heavenly capacity of souls here, to grasp great problems, and prove their worthiness to humanity. Of men showing their ability to comprehend the God-given vision of others whose understanding is the "Intenation of the # Amighty? Of men who will lose eight of, their little selfish plana, and help push the other fallows' "little red wagon" up the hill once in a great while. Of men who will give one grand mighty lift to any cause, that champions the rights of a depressed people. Of men who will help a struggling milk, whose every cry is a man's chance, and then represent this people before the united intelligence of all nations. God gives us such men who have come into the true purpose of their being, that we might be Beloved, now for we are the sons of God." BOOK REVIEWS The False Assumptions of Democracy By Anthony M Ludovici 216 pages, I leath Cranton, Ltd. London. Reviewed by Arthur E. King The author of this book, who is also author of "A Defense of Aristocracy" and "Mana Descent From the Gods, or The Complete Case Against Prohibition, claims that this book is a modest attempt of redefinition of words by recruiting the meaningless terms of our language—and there are thousands of them—from their pointless, unattached and almost disreputable existence. It would consist of redefining them in the realistic light of history, biology and psychology and in the light of a sane and sound out of a humanity) and the world. He believes modern society is hoodwinked by meaning a primes and social unrest due to demagogues. He believes in private property because private property is a principle in life whereby each individual seeks to find the prince, of higher life—the desire to extinction. The theory against private property is the theory of those who have lost ascending or developing allies strongest in life against those who still possess or are in the city of the envious in life battle who pretend to have held their arms against in order to acquire power or those who are not. He does not of course refer to those exceptional individuals who are content with a non-material expression so that he becomes more. The Socialists are in no position the coveted and developed opponents of not of a particular kind but of the itself. In connection with the calls of prudential authority, and to that under the best people are held of the most sorely oppressed and the most distribution of wealth should be bestowed upon the good and best people that educational administration is not allowed the poor. We should transvalus wealth and being minded to a more rational uninstaling of the proper equipment of power which consists chiefly of wealth value, character and condition. The besting size of all Western countries is the power of wealth and being minded to attachments in virtue to the best phonomic value. He sees at the equality" of the Decimation of Intelligence and does not believe that the strong wonts it must be the undesirable, the right to gift in aid of walks of life the right to privilege of all classes, who wonts equally. And they want it be because looking up from their position of shifting morality and ungainliness, and including their more gifted brethren, they realize that equality must relate to their own effort. Bostictian, he claims aim to remove violence from modern life but the right of procreation interferes with their plans and their hope to build up a new society that will be all mutual help, mutual give and take, and mutual good will quite apart from the known character of human beings as simply romantic reverie. They only do this by violating man's right of parenthood by putting on their banners. Down with procreation 'instead of' Down with the bourgeois' or they must legislate on what section of society must be sacrificed to balance the original act of violence. After condemning governments, capitalists, the press, and our educational system, the only remedy he sees, is to give to the masses a knowledge of their own language at the cost of small smatterings of history, geography drawing, hygiene, and physics He shrieks "The old ideals have proved worthless and even dangerous, and we are therefore abandoning them, but no new ideals have been created to take their place. Who believes in the desirability of the whole of Western civilization, or its extension to centres that are still uncontaminated by it" What we need is "new beliefs, new goals, new values." The mere improvement of economic conditions of the poor will not suffice because the wealthy are equally unhappy, and he is of the opinion that social reform is a modern obsession. The cause of social unrest is due to ill-health and debility caused by inferior food and ignorance of preparing food in general. He would ensure to the masses pure bread and old English ale of pre-puritan days. He points out that it is possible for institutions to out-live the quality of man and thinks that it is possible that by the observance of survival values alone, unchecked by aesthetic values, man has lost, or is rapidly losing, values of qualities that once made a higher and more lasting civilization possible. Cleavage or the class war the urban trend of population and the procreation of degenerates, of the unhealth and of the insane are the problems to be faced by patriotic governments in the future—whether they are Socialists, capitalists or Bolsheviks. This book will be a shock to all Democrats believing in the equality of men the Devine far-off event of justice, equality and liberty, the unity and oneness of humanity, and the levelling process of good democracy. It will scarcely appeal to those who are so befuddled by phrases that they cannot think straight or those who have never thought out the result of equality. It should be read by all progressive thinkers. The concluding chapter is rather weak and unsatisfactory but the book is written in clear, forceful English and things are called by their right names.
