The Negro World

PRESIDENT GENERAL OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION CALLS UPON NEGRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD TO STAND TOGETHER Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting: It comes to the individual, the race, the nation, once in a life time to decide upon the course to be pursued as a career. The hour has now struck for the individual Negro as well as the entire race to decide the course that will be pursued in the interest of our own liberty. We who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association have decided that we shall go forward, upward and onward toward the great goal of human liberty. We have determined among ourselves that all barriers placed in the way of our progress must be removed, must be cleared away for we desire to see the light of a brighter day. The Negro Is Ready The Universal Negro Improvement Association for four and a half years has been proclaiming to the world the readiness of the Negro to carve out a pathway for himself in the course of life. Men of other races and nations have become alarmed at this attitude of the Negro, his desire to do things for himself and by himself. This alarm has become so universal that organizations have been brought into being here, there and everywhere for the purpose of deterring and obstructing this forward move of our race. Propaganda has been waged here, there and everywhere for the purpose of interpreting the intention of this organization; some have said that this organization seeks to create discord and discontent among the races; some say we are organized for the purpose of hating other people. Every sensible, sane and honest-minded person knows that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has no such intention. We are organized for the absolute purpose of bettering our condition, industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and politically. We are organized not to hate other men, but to lift ourselves, and to demand respect of all humanity. We have a program that we believe to be righteous; we believe it to be just, and we have made up our minds to lay down ourselves on the altar of sacrifice for the realization of this great hope of ours, based upon the foundation of righteousness. We declare to the world that Africa must be free, that the entire Negro race must be emancipated from industrial bondage, peonage and serfdom; we make no compromise, we make no apology in this our declaration. We do not desire to create offense on the part of other races, but we are determined that we shall be heard, that we shall be given the rights to which we are entitled. The Propaganda of Our Enemies For the purpose of creating doubts about the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association many attempts have been made to cast shadow and gloom over our work. They have even written the most uncharitable things about our organization; they have spoken so unkindly of our effort, but what do we care? They spoke unkindly and uncharitably about all the reform movements that have helped in the betterment of humanity. They maligned the great movement of the Christian religion; they maligned the great liberation movements of America, of France, of England, of Russia, can we expect, then, to escape being maligned in this, our desire for the liberation of Africa and the freedom of four hundred million Negroes of the world? We have unscrupulous men and organizations working in opposition to us. Some trying to capitalize the new spirit that has come to the Negro to make profit out of it to their own selfish benefit; some are trying to set back the Negro from seeing the hope of his own liberty, and thereby poisoning our people's mind against the motives of our organization; but every sensible, far-seeing Negro in this enlightened age knows what propaganda means. It is the medium of discrediting that which you are opposed to, so that the propaganda of our enemies will be of little avail as soon as we are rendered able to carry to our peoples scattered throughout the world the true message of our great organization. Crocodiles as Friends Men of the Negro race, let me say to you that a greater future is in store for us; we have no cause to lose hope, to become faint-hearted. We NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 RAL OF UNIVERSAL ASSOCIATION CALLS THE WORLD TO HOPE OF BRITTER FUTURE EXPRESSED DESIGNS ENEMIES WILL FAIL RIGHTEOUS CAUSE IS BOUND TO TRIUMPH-LET US BE UNITED THE WORLD OVER must realize that upon ourselves depends our destiny, our future, we must carve out that future, that destiny, and we who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association have pledged ourselves that nothing in the world shall stand in our way, nothing in the world shall discourage us, but opposition shall make us work harder, shall bring us closer together, so that as one man the millions of us will march on toward that goal that we have laid out for curselsves. The new Negro shall not be deceived. The new Negro refuses to take advice from anyone who has not felt with him, and suffered with him. We have suffered for three hundred years, therefore we feel that the time has come that only those who have suffered with us can interpret our feelings and our spirit. It takes the slave to interpret the feelings of the slave; it takes the unfortunate man to interpret the spirit of his unfortunate brother; and so it takes the suffering Negro to interpret the spirit of his comrade. It is strange that so many people are interested in the Negro now willing to advise him how to act and what organizations he should join, yet nobody was interested in the Negro to the extent of not making him a slave for two hundred and fifty years, reducing him to industrial peonage and serfdom after he was freed; it is strange that the same people can be so interested in the Negro now, as to tell him what organization he should follow and what leader he should support. Whilst we are bordering on a future of brighter things, we are also at our danger period, when we must either accept the right philosophy, or go down by following deceptive propaganda which has hemmed us in for many a decade. Deceiving the People There is many a leader of our race who tells us that everything is well, and that all things will work out, and that a better day is coming. Yes, all of us know that a better day is coming; we all know that one day we will go home to Paradise, but whilst we are hoping by our Christian virtues to have an entry into Paradise we also realize that we are living on the earth, and that the things that are practiced in Paradise are not practiced here. You have to treat this world as the world treats you; we are living in a temporal material age, an age of activity, an age of racial national selfishness. What else can you expect but to give back to the world what the world gives to you, and we are calling up the four hundred million Negroes of the world to take a decided stand, a determined stand, that we shall occupy a firm position; that position shall be an emancipated race and a free nation of our own. Let us look forward to the congregation of the Negro peoples of the world at our next International Convention. Let us come with our hearts and minds well prepared, well shaped, for putting over the biggest program ever undertaken since God said, "Let there be light," the program of the emancipation of four hundred million souls. We are determined that we shall have a free country, we are determined that we shall have a flag, we are determined that we shall have a government second to none in the world. An Eye for an Eye! Men may spurn the idea, they may scoff at it; the metropolitan press of this country may deride us; yes, white men may laugh at the idea of Negroes talking about government; but let me tell you there is going to be a government, and let me say to you also that whatsoever you give, in like measure it shall be returned to you. The world is sinful, and therefore man believes in the doctrine of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Everybody believes that revenge is God's, but at the same time we are men, and revenge sometimes springs up, even in the most Christian heart. Why should man write down a history that will react against him? L. NEGRO IS UPON NEGRO STAND TOGETHER Why should man perpetrate deeds of wickedness upon his brother which will return to him in like measure? Yes, the Germans maltreated the French in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, but the French got even with the Germans in 1918. It is history, and history will repeat itself. Beat the Negro, brutalize the Negro, kill the Negro, burn the Negro, imprison the Negro, scoff at the Negro, deride the Negro, it may come back to you one of these fine days, because the destiny of man is in the hands of God. God is no respecter of persons, whether that person be white, yellow or black; today the one race is up, tomorrow it has fallen; today the Negro seems to be the footstool of the other races and nations of the world; tomorrow the Negro may occupy the highest rung of the great human ladder. But, when we come to consider the history of man, was not the Negro a power, was not he great once? Yes, honest students of history can recall the day when Egypt, Ethiopia and Timbuctoo towered in their civilization, towered above Europe, towered above Asia; when Europe was inhabited by a race of cannibals, a race of savages, naked men, heathens and pagans. Africa was peopled with a race of cultured black men, who were masters in art, in science, in literature; men who were cultured and refined; men who, it was said, were like the Gods, even the great poets of old sung in beautiful sonnets of the delight it afforded the Gods to be in companionship with the Ethiopians. Why, then, should we lose hope? Black men, you were once great; you shall be great again. Lose not courage, lose not faith, go forward. The thing to do is to get organized; keep separated and you will be exploited, you will be robbed, you will be killed. Get organized, and you will compel the world to respect you. If the world fails to give you consideration, because you are black men, because you are Negroes, four hundred millions of you shall, through organization, shake the pillars of the universe and bring down creation, even as Samson brought down the temple upon his head and upon the heads of the Philistines. An Inspiring Vision So Negroes, I say through the Universal Negro Improvement Association that there is much to live for. I have a vision of the future, and I see before me a picture of a redeemed Africa, with her dotted cities, with her beautiful civilization, with her millions of happy children, going to and fro. Why should I lose hope, why should I give up and take a back place in this age of progress? Remember that you are men, that God created you Lords of this creation. Lift up yourselves, men, take yourselves out of the mire and hitch your hopes to the stars; yes, rise as high as the very stars themselves. Let no man pull you down, let no man destroy your ambition, because man is but your companion, your equal; man is your brother; he is not your lord; he is not your sovereign master. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association feel happy; we are cheerful; let them connive to destroy us; let them organize to destroy us; we shall fight the more. Ask me personally the cause of my success, and I say opposition; oppose me, and I fight the more, and if you want to find out the sterling worth of the Negro, oppose him, and under the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association he shall fight his way to victory, and in the days to come, and I believe not far distant. Africa shall reflect a splendid demonstration of the worth of the Negro, of the determination of the Negro, to set himself free and to establish a government of his own. Now men, I say, support your movement, give it financially and morally all the help you can. Send in that support now. Do it because you are patriots; do it because you love yourselves, because you love your posterity. Feeling sure that you shall rise to the occasion and that whereoever you be you will prepare that in August we shall have the greatest of all conventions ever held by our race, and then legislate for our future government, our future good and welfare, with very best wishes. I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY, President General, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. Detroit, February 28, 1922. GROWTH OF U. N. I. A. AND ITS ALLIED BRANCHES GOES ON APACE, DESPITE EFFORTS TO CRIPPLE IT AND STRANGLE ITS LIFE, PERSECUTION TENDING TO STRENGTHEN ORGANIZATION AND INCREASE ITS NUMBERS 2 LIBERTY HALL, New York Sunday Evening, Feb. 26, 1922 - With the announcement here tonight, before a large and enthusiastic audience as if attending one of the now famous convention meetings during the hot nights of last August), that news has recently been received at headquarters that four leading clergymen addressed a meeting last week held in Charleston, S. C., in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that 600 persons had joined the movement in Kingston, Jamaica, that in Kansas City, Mo., a branch has been established, with a membership of more than 3,000; that a telegram from Detroit has just been received to the effect that "Michigan has gone over the top in loyalty and devotion" to the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green," and that, as stated in an address by Capt. C. E. Gaines, Minister of Legions, now returned to New York from an extended tour of the Far West in the interests of the U. N. I. A., that the similar influences that for some months past, prior to his arrival there, had been at work to undermine the influence of the association, demoralize the forces and divisions there located (at San Diego, Pasadena, Los Angeles, eta), and strangle its very life in that section of the country, have, through his timely arrival upon the scene, been checked, and the dastardly efforts of the enemy thwarted, so that everything in those coast cities is again flourishing and progressing favorably—with such announcements tonight in this cradle of Negro liberty, need anyone fear or doubt that this wonderful movement, this unprocedented organization, the greatest living force among Negroes today, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied branches, is about to fail, or will not continue on and on with over-increasing success? He who runs may read the only answers to this question—an answer in the negative. Tonight's meeting was a distinctive one, and had three leading features. First, the favorable news reports from various parts of this country and elsewhere that were read as to the continued progress of the association; the reassuring and eloquent addresses of the speakers, and the extraordinary program of music furnished. Prof. Wm. H. Ferries, in the absence of the President General, presided, and with him upon the platform sat many distinguished members of the Executive Council. Capt. C. R. Galines, the leading speaker, was given a big ovation, he having recently returned from California, and thrilled his hearers by a synopsis report he gave of the work he had accomplished on the Pacific Coast and elsewhere within the past six months. He was sent there, he said, by command of the President-General to investigate conditions, and not only succeeded in ousting a hostile critic of the cause from the presidency of one of the divisions there, but had met with signal success in committing these divisions together, so that now they are in a flourishing condition, with everything again "peaceful and quiet along the Potomac." He spoke of his visits on this trip to Chicago, Detroit and Kansas City, where he saw the most encouraging signs of progress of the work of the association. He particularly referred to Kansas City, where he said that a branch has been established with more than 3,000 members, credit, for which, he remarked belonged chiefly to a Dr. Hurst, a great asset and aid to the cause. At a later date Captain Galanes (c familiarly known to members of the organization by the affectionate sobriquet, "Daddy") said he would deliver one or two specially prepared addresses to the audiences in Liberty Hall on the work done by him during his recent tour of the West. His address tonight was only preliminary to his official report to the President-General, after which he will feel released to speak to full. Mon, U. S. Poston, Minister of Industries and Labor, was the first speaker introduced, and in appropriate language dwelt upon the spirit of the initiative, which, he said, though developed latest in the Negro, has now been awakened by the influence of the N. N. L. A., as evidenced by the existence of more business establishments, factories and enterprises among colored people everywhere than ever before. mon welfare as a people He con-cluded with a short statement concerning the work of the school of which he is the head saying that as the State makes in appropriation for its maintenance it must see, financial aid from friends and well wishers of the race. The school was started by a colored woman Miss Jenny Dean, who was a general houseworker and who saw from her point of view that Negro children to succeed in the world must be trained. In the beginning the school consisted of one room in a farmhouse and today comprises twelve buildings on about 200 acres of land. His appeal to the friends of Liberty Hall for aid was met with a prompt and generous response. The musical program was one of particular interest the chief feature being a violin solo. Traumierie by Master Wilkinson, a lad in his teens, which was played with marked skill and finish. He was accompanied by his sister Edith Wilkinson. Prior to the speech making, Mr H. V Plummer publicity director after making the customary announcements, read a letter which he had addressed to Dr L. K. Williams, pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, in which he took Dr Williams to task for an article he (Dr Williams) had written denouncing the Garvey movement, which article appeared recently in the Chicago Enterprise. Plummer's letter is strong and pungent, with some very sting phrases. He literally shot to pieces the Reverend Doctor's article, and doubtless this gentleman of the cloth now wishes he had never been so indiscreet as to come out and so strongly criticise adversely a movement or organization about which he has but a very slight knowledge. The audience enjoyed Mr Plummer's letter immensely for it puts Dr. Williams in a most uncomfortable position, shows the abusivity of the doctor's article and strongly defends the worthiness of the cause espoused by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The letter in full follows OPEN LETTER Dr L. K. Williams, pastor Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill., in care of Chicago Enterprise, 3116 Indiana avenue. Reverend Sir —In a current issue of the Chicago Enterprise under date of February 18, 1932, appears in "scare" headlines "Dr. L. K. Williams Denounces Garvey Movement." "Calls it the highest type of radicalism," etc. That this attack on the movement was made in a dramatic speech before two hundred Baptist ministers at a conference in Chicago last week. Among the several statements made by you during the course of your address were. First "That you visited New York city and while there took considerable time and pains to look into the Garvey movement at its base of operation. Second: "You assert that it is the most radical and unworthy proposition that has come to serious consideration for encouragement and support that has ever been presented to our people. Third: "That you are unalterably opposed to the doctrines and theories advanced by Garvey. Fourth: "This it is a visionary impracticable scheme that has no merit and will not get those that are promoting and associated with the movement anything worth while. Fifth: "That there is neither sense or virtue in this so-called 'Back to Africa Movement.' We did not come from there. America is our native land and country, then why should we move to Africa? Sixth: "That Garveyism is an inimical mass of propaganda, radical and totally at variance with good sense and sound judgment." In short, may I ask. Do you presume, as a minister of the Gospel, to say that the Negro, not only in the United States of America, but wherever he may be domiciled, has not the God-given right as individuals and collectively as a race of people to seek economic, industrial, political, social and religious freedom somewhere? If you have not correctly obtained from the proper source just what, as you term "the doctrines and theories" as advanced by Marous Garvey are, then how, under the sun, can you be "unalterably" opposed to them, when you do not know them or what they are? You are sitting in the jury box as a juror, with a biased, diseased, antagonistic mind already made up to render a verdict and pass judgment of "faulty" before you have heard the evidence or facts in the case of which you know nothing. Nothing worth while, my dear doctor, has ever been accomplished anywhere, in any clime, by any people, race or nation, but what the leaders for those who have had the conduct of affairs, in hand had a "yplilon" a dream of the outcome or the successful accomplishment of their writings, desires and aspirations. The Universal Negro Improvement Association under, the leadership of Marcus Garvey has combined for the Negro, under one head, one standard or banner, what you as a Baptist minister should now be asking in doing its own limited sphere of activity. When Bishop Washington as a great leader was doing in his remarkable career but limited, to a certain kind. When the N. A. A. C. P. is doing under his leadership, but confined to the United States of America, its labor and efforts not paid for Marcus everywhere. When Frederick Douglas did, and attempted to do, while blinding the way for the American Negro Marcus Garvey has combined all of these efforts. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 Minister of Legions, Capt. C. E.

The grasping for the almighty dollar seems to be the paramount issue with some of our leaders. In so far as the 'Back to Africa' movement is concerned, please permit me to say that it is appalling indeed to note such wilful indifference on your part, or perhaps it may be ignorance in the extreme when you say that there is no virtue or common sense in that movement. That the Negro did not come from there (Africa), "that America is your native land." etc. is so ridiculous that it is hardly worth the time to waste words on paper to answer such at this time. Where did your ancestry come from, anyhow? Are you a Negro of the trud type? And, neatly, you exhort the ministers to "bind together in a closer unity and vigorously, courageously and constantly work for the best interest and healthy advancement of the race, etc." Now, reverend sir, as a Negro, the son of a minister of the Gospel of your own denomination and faith, the son of an ex slave who enlisted and fought throughout the Civil War and was honorably discharged from the service that this country might be free and its flag might forever float to the breeze. I deem it not amiss as an American citizen, but my bounden duty as one of the four and a half million members of this great movement to take exception to the statements as attributed to you in the public press and to inform you that such remarks will become a Negro, a minister of the Gospel of any denomination, who styles himself a leader of a people or attempts to grace a pulpit. In the first place please permit me to say that we concede that all men in America and women, too, are supposed to be and are entitled to their own opinions and ideas, but when they attempt to thrust such opinions and ideas upon others, especially when such opinions and ideas are not based either upon fact or common sense, then such become public property and deserve to be dealt with accordingly. In answer to your first statement, that you visited New York, that statement may be true, but when you state publicly that you took considerable time and pain to look into the Garvey movement, may I ask you, pray, reverend air, where did you seek your information while in New York and the facts about the movement* Surely, not at headquarter 84-68 West 132th street. New York city, from any authorize* officer or member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, competent and duly authorized to give you the true facts and information you so earnestly and sincerely sought about this movement. In so far as the Garvey movement being radical, why, yes, in your limited sphere of reasoning, anything new or that does not savor of your old, anticlered way of thinking or reasoning must be "radical." All movements worth white, the Irishman's fight for economic freedom and liberty and for recognition as a people, which they have finally attained to some extent, was dubbed "radical," but can you truthfully say, reverend sir, that their was not a just cause and was a proposition unworthy of life the consideration of all the Irish everywhere and anywhere? The Egyptian unrest and the partial securing of autonomous government and recognition by the British as a people with racial entity, as a just movement. I presume to your way of thinking is radicalism in the extreme and unworthy of consideration. The East Indian uprising that now claims the attention of the whole world and the public press, I presume, to your academ. and quarer way of reasoning, is dicalism to be de-dimmed. Even governments, now admit and are binding every effort to keep the Negro from a realization of this dream of "sensible prosperity," as our math of Marcus Garvey's Where, have you mean? 2. Xalapa white, white, white. pot and others state in their numerous and voluminous writings that the Negro cannot get away from the fact that Africa is the motherland of the Negro and was his habitat prior to his importation and forceful transportation to the American shores and the West Indian islands. You cannot anymore get away from this fact that you are a Negro and that Africa is your motherland than we can call an African a striped Zebra, an American jackass, just because he has been brought to American and exhibited in your circus shows and zoological paras. Perhaps you who have not taken the time away from the routine of your formal duties until later to look into this survey movement would pay it was at variance with good sense and sound judgment. Perhaps from million Negroes and more are found and lack sound judgment while you Rev Sir pose as the storehouse of worldly knowledge and spiritual wisdom. Dear Doctor, that of you exerting that force, energy and nerve power that you undoubtedly possess in exhorting and trying to persuade your learned hearers to doxy a movement conceived and inaugurated for the betterment of the condition of the Negroes everywhere in every way and in every eime instead of you trying to teach your flock how to lie correctly and the Negro everywhere how to organize for his own interest and become a racial entity here on earth you are apparently preparing them to die and according to the public press you are prating and ranting against a movement you do not know anything about whatever, and unwittingly—will not say knowingly—helping the other fellow to keep your brothers and sisters in this economic, political, industrial and social slavery and serfdom a course unworthy of a minister of the gospel o, a learned divine and you pose to be, and presumably are Assuring you, reverend air, of my earnest wish and sincere desire that you, as soon as possible, remove the scales from your eyes and cobwebs from your fertile brain and become a convert to this great movement, I beg to subscribe myself. Vory truly yours. H VINTON PLUMMER Director of Publicity Among the announcements was that moving pictures, a feature of last week's entertainments, will continue at Liberty Hall. These pictures will be of unusual interest and compare very favorably with those shown on the screens of other moving-picture theatres in this vicinity. Large crowds saw the pictures exhibited last week. This feature of the mid-week entertainments is proving a wonderful success as an innovation at Liberty Hall, and it is expected that the crowds attending will become larger and larger as the public hear of the excellence of the pictures. The association's laundry, it was also announced, is now in first-class condition and doing a very large and successful business. Members and friends of the association were urged to patronize the laundry, prompted by motives of race loyalty. HON. U. & POSTON SPEAK8 HON. U. B. POSTON SPEAK8 R. U. B. Hon. U. B. Poston, Minister of Industries and Labor, was introduced as the first speaker of the evening. Taking as his subject "Initiativeeness" he said he was extremely pleased with the idea expressed by the word "initiative," which was defined in Webster's Dictionary as the power to do or create. All races, he continued, which have achieved or have created were possessed with the spirit of initiative. All races which have not achieved and the races which are the undertings of world are those devoid of the spirit of initiative. "I may liken," the speaker said, "the spirit of initiative to a motor car. There are two kinds of cars: the hand-cranked car and the self-starter. In operating a hand-cranked car oftimes the driver is placed at a disadvantage; he loses time in cranking the car and oftimes many office appointments are not fulfilled because of the time lost in cranking the car; the car cannot move until someone shall have cranked it. The manufacturers of automobiles, like the most progressives, of each car, invented the self-starting car in which a button is pressed and be started and this proved to be a revolution in the automobile industry. So it is with human beings. There are some individual and some races who cannot do or will not do unless they are forced or controlled. I may liken that race or that individual to a hand trained car but on the other hand there are races which are possessed with the power spirit the spirit of initiative they do without being forced. You will find that such races are the ones that are shaping the destiny of the world. I like the Englishman because he powers us to the 9th degree the spirit of initiative. It was by initiative that caused the Englishman to go into the world of Africa. He savaged it and got the race from the empire and compelled the officer of Britain to use the purpose of attacking his enemy. It was the power of the officer that caused the Englishman to subdue the native Africa and take him to give his tail in wreaking from the bread of Africa the diamonds and gold which are dumped into the sea. The force of Britain for the purpose of invading British territories. The power of the initiative that prompted the British at one time owning North America and the sands of North America. The power of the initiative was responsible for the First Shield of giving his life to Antarctica. The Englishman has always presented the spirit of the nation to the pioneer spirit in common. But now he express the spirit of the nation in politics and in religion. Britain is a small island with a population about 8 million people, containing territory large that she can board the fact that the sun must set upon British possessions. In going the Englishman did not accept the hiding Bible it was held above him, but that spirit of the initiative caused him to analyze and revise Bible and make the Bible serve him and the King James Version of the Bible is being used around the world. When I look upon America I see in present day America that pioneer spirit of the Englishman. At one time there was a certain class of people in England who could tell a God according to the distinctions of their own conscience. With their pioneer spirit that spirit of initiative they left England and came to America they fell the trees they bridged the streams and they gave us the present little States of America where they could serve God according to the distinctions of their own conscience. The Negro Pregnant with Spirit of Initiative Continuing, Mr. Poston said he had cited the foregoing instances to show the difference in the condition of the Negro prior to the advent of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It was generally said that the Negro was devoid of that pioneer spirit—that spirit of initiative—and one writer in mental science went so far as to say that the Negro was created without the spirit of initiative. He took exception to that writer's statement and said that the Negro is just as pregnant with that pioneer spirit—with that spirit of initiative—as any other people, but that spirit is latent within the Negro. It is developed and he loved the Universal Negro Improvement Association because it is awakening in the Negro that pioneer spirit, and when that spirit shall have been fully awakened within the Negro, he will fell trees, will bridge storms, will build cities, will analyze the Bible and accept that which is good and reject that which is bad as other races have done. Before the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the speaker said, the Negroes throughout the world were little known in the business world; the pioneer spirit—the spirit of the initiative—that caused other races to do big things in a business way was latent within the Negro, and since the advent of the U. N. L. A. program we find today more Negro business corporations and more individuals doing business than ever before known in this country; and if the U. N. L. A. does not do anything else, it has given the Negro a new vision! do what other races have done, and when the awakening shall have pos- sessed the Negro then there will come to use the realization of a free and reduced Africa (Applauser). MR Q. E CARTER SPEAKS Mr. E. K. Carter, the second speaker of the evening, said it was gifting to see the continued loyalty of the members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as manifested by the large attendance present and that as an last Sunday the official duty had fall upon him of making an address and taking up the offering. The need for funds at this time, said was urgent owing to the time, financial obligation of the assemblies of which at present the majority of the final pay amount of taxes due on the property of loyalty Ha. I something out of his speech. Mr. Callier is in the desire of some people to buy the cheap things in ideas, for example the interest taken by private housewives in attending so-called bargain sales at the various big stores. It is people who feel real are that the bargains they seek are after all not bargains but oftimes are goods worth considerable) less than the advertised oruced price at which they are bought. They forget that in life there is a give and a take that if a person wants those things that are worth write they must pay the price and the price must be paid in full not in past. A further institution of the said M. Carter was in the customer-pro- priate but where the waiters are produced it is that compels them to to visit them in the gallery to make cruise wage. Those guests that are hired in the waiter are given attention where those who are other bilateral or who whose top up of the fare forced to wait and wore it before they are given attention to give it away their wares. The staff with whom they are working in the gallery pay the wages. of mankind and civilization, and the power of the people and peoples within the world. In international relations the power of blood the armament of the men of mass life and life force in the affairs of the people who stood for the freedom and security of the industrial independence. This is seen in the sacrifices made on the part of those people who came to this country to fight for freedom where they could worship God according to their own own interests of whom were killed by the Indian savages then inhabiting America by the wild beasts of the forests. It is also depicted also in the Writings of the Colonists of America as the pioneers of American civilization. Proof of this lies in the War of the Revolution when the Thirteenth Army rebelled against the mother country because of the unjust impugnance of taxation without representation begun in the battle of Levon again and in which Crispus Attacks a Negro was the first to study his blood to establish American colonial violence and freedom. The history of England's test to greatness is replete with numerous instances of his people in wars, its pride of the globe in passing the price that England might become great. Pioneers were sent out by her some as missionaries, some as adventurers, into hitherto unexplored sections of the world as the heart of Africa, the wilds of Asia into Australia into Egypt into China, and into India that they might extract the wealth vegetable mineral and animal found in those countries and their stitches. British rule, in each plaining all which great privations had to be endured and hundreds and hundreds, and even thousands of lives lost. But these sacrifices of life were made because those who were willing to do so considered and regarded the object in view the making of E. England great through the world worth while and had they not paid the price it could not be said, as it is today, that such are England's possessions that the sun never sets on them. Here the speaker as is Mr Carter's custom related an interesting pathetic story in driving home his subject. Paying the Price which pertained to a slave in the South named Cuffey whose master desired to sell him and in negotiating the sale to Cuffey's prospective new owner, said that he (Cuffey) had but one fault, and that was that Cuffey would pray. The new master upon buying Cuffey, said he would break Cuffey of that habit, and sent for Cuffey and told him that there must be no praising on his plantation, threatening that if he prayed and was found out, he would be severely lashed. Nevertheless Cuffey, who was very devout, continued to pray to God, just the same, despite his now master's warning, for prayer had become a part AGENTS PLEASE READ Please send your orders for papers to reach the office of the Negro World on or before Friday, one week before the date of issue (Saturday).

One day he prayed and was spied by some follow-slave on the planation who, as is the case today with many Negroes, went and told the master. The master ordered Cuffey before him, and immediately put more than thirty-nine lashes on his back, which caused the blood to run down from his head to his foot, then while the pain was most excruciating Cuffey was drenched in briny water thrown over the fresh wounds. And still Cuffey continued to pray That same night Cuffey a master was taken up with acute indigestion. The master was in intense pain. The nearest doctor was thirty miles distant He summoned someone to ride out and ask the physician to come to him. In the meanwhile the master was moved to his wife. Is there nobody on this planation who can pray for me in my suffering condition? The wife repent. The only one I know of is the Negro who whipped this morning. The master sent for Cuffey who was found again on his knees praying. When he got to his masse house the master said to him "Cuffey I want you to pray for me" Cuffey replied. Master I've been praying for you all along because you told me not to pray" Cuffey then got down on his knees in his master's room and poured out his soul to God in prayer God heard him, and the master was heard before the doctor came and that master and his wife became firm Christians from that day on, took up evangelist work, took Cuffey, their save with them and traveled through the United States doing great missionary work for the Lord. Continuing, said Mr Carter Cuffe) was willing to pay the price of his life to have the privilege of praying to and so to him did he hold and then in the possession of that right aid, to it with you, and so it is well all of us who are determined to compass the things that are worth while to life. In like manner, before the Universe Negro improvement As it becomes a fixed institution and still attains its aim and objects, one must suffer somebody must pay the price, and if we are willing to pay the price liberty shall be ours and we shall yet realize the desired goal in being a free and redeemed people in Africa, with the banner of the Red the Black and the Green float proudly, in the breeze as a symbol of protection in the black man when ever he may be in any part of the world (Great applause) Capt E. T Gaines Speaks Curt L. T Gaines, Minister of Legions was the next speaker Having just returned from the West whether he had spent six months doing missionary and propaganda work in behalf of the association, he dwelt in his address on the success he had accomplished in winning converts for the U N I A and revising the enthusiasm which had been wanting in some of the divisions not only in the State of California which was occasioned by the territory of one of the presidents of a local division there who, however he had succeeded in instilling from office. This great man contain Gaines said attended the last convention and sat there for 28 days during which time he spoke volumes of praise for the U N I A. But of the 23th day he came into the convention and could not be selected to any of the three high offices for which he was nominated, and he went to California and set to work to disrupt the whole organization. He carried his propaganda from San Diego Cal. into British Columbia and disturbed that whole set of the country, with the result that every division had suffered a falling off in membership and some were not meeting or functioning at all. He (Capt Gaines) went there with the determination to bring order out of chaos having the backing of the association and the authority of the President-General to make sweeping reforms to restore the morale of the divisions. He started the ball rolling and called a meeting in the very haunts of the enemy. The people turned out in large numbers and packed the building from pillar to post, and in order to test them out he entered and told them that he had promised to be at another meeting in Pasadena that same evening and if they would remain in their seats until 10 30 he would address them. He returned at 10 30 and found so many people there that they could not all be accommodated in the church, possibly 100 of them having to remain outside in front of the church. Captain Gaiches told in brief the manner in which the meeting was conducted leaving stress upon the unbounded enthusiasm displayed by the audience at his presence and the evidence of disfavor with the president, who was present at the meeting. On that evening he arranged for a business meeting on the following Thurs- HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK HOW MUCH THE BLACK STAR LINE MEANS TO YOU? How Many Shares Have You Purchased?

(Laughter) He again failed to put in appearance and was accordingly expelled from the association. Continuing Captain Galinez said that out in the Far West he visited every single division from San Diego to Vancouver B C. He covered every division twice in order to know definitely that they were in better shape than what he had found them. Alluding to his visit to Kansas City Mo. he said he spoke there in one of the largest churches a Jewish synagogue, purchased by one Dr Hurray who was one of the greatest assets to the association in the Middle West. On the first night a speaking there, after he had finished, Dr Hurray came for ward and joined the association to together with his wife, and he left a membership there of two or three thousand. In the course of his address Captain Gaines took occasion to rehabilitate his loyalty and devotion to the movement. He said he had learned that it was rumored he had deserted the organization because of his prolonged absence, but, said he. Don't be uneasy about my deserting this ship because as long as there is a ship I will be somewhere around. There is no reason to desert it, there is no organization under the sun that was ever instituted by man that can take its place. There are plenty of organizations that can deliver white people but there is no organization under the sun that can deliver the Negro people but the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Ap plause). Mr P L Edwoods Speakr The last speaker was Mr Prince L. Edwooda, vice president and principal of the Manassas Industrial Institute of Virginia. He spoke felicitously of the wonderful progress made by the U N I A. In Virginia he said even out in the rural districts the people are marshaling their forces together and the name of Mr Garvey is mentioned in a most honorable way in that portion of the South. Consequent on the marvelous work which the U N I A was accomplishing the need for better educational training and facilities for the younger generation was more and more emphasized because sooner or later the responsibilities of carrying on the work would devise on them and they should of necessity be trained and prepared to assume the responsibilities. The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association he said, is assuming such enormous proportions that it will take generation after generation in order to carry out the ideas which Mr Garvey has disseminated throughout the world. Applying to Mr Garvey the sentiments expressed by Robert Ingersoll he said that 'Garvey is an intellectual ocean from which all rivers run and from which indeed hills and continents of thoughts receive their dew and rain Mr Edwoods then gave in brief a summary of the educational work being carried on at Mannasan Industrial School, in whose interest he was here for the purpose of raising funds to carry on the work of the institution which, he said, trained black boys and girls in the trades and in the same time gave them the finest kind of literary education. The institution received no support from the State and was entirely dependent on contributions by those interested in the education of the Negro youth therefore he was sent to the North to see what the Negro in this section would devote towards the work in order that it may be carried on. In conclusion he made an appeal for a liberal contribution towards the work Two Held in $25,000 Bail in Taxi Driver Hold-Up. Evening Sun February 20, 1922 page one column one.

THE QUESTION OF AFRICA FOR THE AFRICAN To the Negro people of the world, greetings Since the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League into world affairs, it appears that the Africans" at home in the motherland and more abroad have committed an unpardonable "sin" for contending for an autonomous African Commonwealth But is there a nation? Is there a race of people? Is there a man or woman, who is a believer in absolute freedom of thought and action will challenge the right of and why Africa" should be free? I am indoapposed to admit such incredulity Have not the Africans at home and abroad an inalienable right to establish lush commerce develop industries conclude peace, and to do all other acts and things which other states and commonwealths have a right to do? The nation that overran and control of Africa today is filled with folly. The judgment of heaven is that these nations and Africa must be surrendered forever. But the day when Africa will arise from the fastnesses of dependence to national independence is at hand. That day will be the greatest and memorable in the history of the world generations to come will commemorate that day of deliverance.

Last Sunday afternoon U N I.

His discourse was convincing in every part and the audience was well filled and pleased with the address.

The second half began with Lincoln getting the jump but toward the end of the game the Heusders played with old time form and only time saved the Pennsylvania quintet. The playing of Wheatland for Lincoln was easily the feature of the game. He made 31 points for his team Lincoln's victory was the second over Hampton this season.

Feb. 10, 1922 Hon Marcus Carvey President (general Your Excellency) - While reading the Diario de Cuba (Cuba Daily) of Feb. 2, I came across the enclosed clipping which pleased me very much, and, as a member and well-wisher of this wide world movement (the L. N. I. A.), I thought I would translate said clipping from Spanish to English and send it, that you may see it, and that if you should find it advisable, you can have it reprinted. The translation of said clipping is as follows THE NATIONAL CONGRESS OF THE COLORED PEOPLE AND "In the United States the Negro race celebrates every year a National Congress, to study the necessities of said race. They have also just celebrated in Europe a Congress of Colored Men. In the United States also the colored race has different newspapers that are defenders of their interests. "In Cuba we haven't yet celebrated one congress of colored men to study our necessities, public and private, but the moment has come to initiate a propaganda of opinions from Orient to Occident (from East to West), so that Cuba also will celebrate a national congress of colored men. There is no need of fear, there is no need of making a campaign against the U. N. I A with the sophism that it is a race movement. The congress will be a movement in favor of the betterment, public and private, of a race that has progressed intellectually, but is wanting in organization and orientation. The motive of the congress will be propagated by the weekly newspaper that will commence to publish its program.

The standard of the Red, Black and Green shall never trail the dust nor the cause of the redemption of Africa, for which the N. A. is organized go down in defeat before the terrific bombardment of enemies of our own race. We are with you air through thick and thin, and we pledge our all and, if needs be our lives, in the support of you and the cause you are marshaling. We desire further to express to you that we are not daunted nor discouraged in the least as we are proud of the fact that your pathway to glory and success is so secured that no action on the part of the traitors in our midst can cast a reflection upon our personality and attitude in this glorious fight. Yes, "The fight for Negro liberty is on" and we offer up our sincere prayer to the Great Omnipotent and Grand Architect of the Universe and all races for your speedy triumph, realizing that your triumph is our triumph.

A VOICE FROM TAMPICO, MEXICO Feb. 11, 1922. Editor of the Negro World. Dear Sir — Permit me space in your valuable columns to state that we of the Mexican division still have confidence in the honorable Marous Garvey as our leader, and it is our determination to stick to him to the very last. We have all confidence in the works of the U. N. L. A. because it is Scriptural and it is Biblical, and it must go on, "Not by might, or power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord." I am, yours in one hope, J. L. BARNES, President. Editor Negro World, 56 West 185th St. New York City. Permit me space in your valuable organ just to answer some of the colored critics of the U. N. I. A. and its founder, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. To those whom it may concern:—Be it known that Africa is the largest continent on the face of the globe, and when that continent is rld of dien domination (as it will be some day), each leader of the various groups can determine among themselves what form of government they shall adopt, hence it is absolutely unnecessary for other leaders of the various Negro groups or factions to be hounding the leader of the U. N. I. A. and his faithful adherenta. For if those Negro critics have the race a interest at heart they will go on, caring not what other organization may come into being. Our Motherlard is large enough for all of us. Therefore, some may decide to settle down at the Cape of Good Hope, some at Zanzibar and the remainder at Timbuctoo. You're obediently. SAMUEL E.

I found one person there—Sister Franera, lady president—who is trying to do all she can for the good of her race, but received little encouragement from the local pastor I want to say to my people Pay no attention to those follows who are handling you angels wings and golden slippers and help to rob you of your birthright which is absolute freedom.

DR. BYRON GUNNER In the eight years prior to the establishment of the Crisis, the Boston Guardian, edited by Wm Monroe Trotter, was the storm center of Negro agitation. He attached to him two remarkable writers, Hon. Archibald H. Grimke and Mr. George W. Forbes, the Boston librarian who edits the literary section of the A. M. E. Review, and two remarkable orators, Rev Dr. Beverly C. Ransom, editor of the A.M. E. Review, and Rev Dr Byron Gunner, who recently passed away. Rev Dr. Gunner was modest and unassuming congregational clergyman who was not a sensational preacher and orator and never pastored a church whose membership ran up into the thousands. He had raised thousands of dollars for a Negro school in Mississippi and edited a little newspaper. He protested against the lynching of the Negro. His life was menaced and he was driven out by a mob in 1899. Finally he settled as pastor of the Congregational Church of Newport, R. L., and then of Hillburn, N. Y., meanwhile serving its president of the New England Suffrage League and the president of the Equal Rights League. He died at the age of 63 or 65, and although there was nothing sensational or eventful about his career during the past thirty years, he was a powerful though quiet force in effecting public sentiment. We were a school boy in New Haven, Conn., when he lectured about thirty-one years ago on a Sunday night in the Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church, then pastored by Rev. A. P. Miller. Without appealing to the passions of his audience he told in simple, plain language and with a sincerity which won its way to the heart of his hearers his experience in the hands of a mob for 36 hours. We were too young then to estimate him as an orator. Three or four years later we heard an instructor in Greek in Yale University tell how he entered an aristocratic Congregational Church in Cincinnati or some other Ohio city and saw a tall, slender dark complexion gentleman with fine cut features sitting in the pulpit. He occupied the pulpit in the absence of the white pastor. Soon he arose to preach. The instructor said that such was the loftiness of his thought, the beauty of his language, the sweetness of his voice and the grace and dignity of his manner that he was a revelation to the audience of the cultural possibilities of the Negro. The instructor said that his name was Rev. Byron Gunner. It was over ten years before we realized the full force of the saying of the Yale instructor. In the spring of 1903 or 1904 we heard Rev. Dr. Byron Gunner at a mass meeting in Faneuil Hall under the auspices of the New England Suffrage League. He began in a calm, quiet manner, gathered fire, force and volume as he moved along and fairly electrified the audience. One of those on the platform characterized Rev. Gunner's address as "intellectualized eloquence." He reasoned with his audience. As George William Curtis said of Wendell Phillips, "He was a gentleman conversing." He did not play to the galleries or appeal to the passions of the crowd. Yet there was a nervous quiver to his voice that had an elocutionary effect and convinced everyone of his sincerity. He did not cuss out the Caucasian, but ably presented the reasonableness of the black man's claim to recognition. He did not demand special favors, privileges and exemptions because he was a Negro, but merely asked for a man's chance to rise in the world, simply because he was a man, created in the Divine image. In that address Dr. Gunner appealed to the sublime in one and gave utterance to those striking generalizations regarding freedom and liberty applicable to men of every race and hue, which characterized Dr. Reverdy, C. Ransom's famous address in Harper's Ferry in the late summer of 1906. And we then saw why Dr. Gunner impressed the Yale instructor and the atlanticatic Ohio church. Daniel Webster said that eloquence existed in the man, in the subject and in the occasion. Before an ordinary audience and on an ordinary occasion, Dr. Gunner was only an ordinary speaker. But there was HEAR in him which rose to a big subject and a big occasion and which measured up to the intellectual and emotional demands, of the home. And then he gave utterance to thoughts and sentiments worthy of being immortalized in textbooks on oratory. and who said, "I thank God that I am not as other men are." He possessed none of the spirit which sought to impress white audiences or white individuals by the sense and feeling of his superiority to other members of his race and to his race as a whole. When we occasionally met him in the summer and fall of 1919 he would always ask about Marcus Garvey and the U N I A., and instead of ridiculing the U N I A., would speak hopefully of its possibilities and potentialities if wisely guided and directed. Matthew Arnold makes "Sweetness and Light" the two characteristics of a truly educated man. And we believe that Dr Gunner could meet Matthew Arnold's test THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 THE unto them to the out When I be ye the true Sword of men that beginning FORGOTTEN HEROES MARC ANTONY in Shakespeare's play, "Julius Caesar," in his celebrated funeral oration over his chief, says "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is often interred with their bones." There is a measure of truth as well as of poetry in this statement. We are so concerned with the doings of those who are in the limelight and who occupy the center of the stage that we forget the humble pioneers who blazed the path for them and made possible their success. These reflections occurred to me because a couple of weeks after the Negro press rejoiced over the passage of the Diver Anti Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives by a two to one vote January 26, we read of the death of Rev Byron Gunner, for many years president of the Equal Rights League, of which Wm Monroe Trott was secretary and Mr Thomas Walker, of Washington, and Mr E T Morris were treasurers. And we saw little references to the splendid work of Rev Byron Gunner in crystallizing public sentiment. The N A A C P and its leaders of both races deserve credit and not only credit, but great credit, for the able and resourceful manner in which they aroused public sentiment and marshaled forces until the Lower House of Congress passed the Diver Anti-Lynching bill and sent it up to the Senate. The winning over of Hon George W Wickersham, a former United States Attorney General, to champion the bill was in itself a great achievement. But we must not forget the men and women who for over thirty years have moulded public sentiment. And public sentiment is all powerful in its effect upon legislation. About thirty-one years ago Mrs Ida B Wells Barnett was driven out of a town in Tennessee by a mob, and Rev Beryon Gunner was likewise driven out of Mississippi, and J H Henderson, who for many years edited the New England Lighthight in Providence, R I, was driven out of Texas Mrs Barnett lectured extensively in England and America and Rev Gunner and Editor Henderson in America. Then in the fall of 1897 Mr D F Tobias, who edited the Independent in New York City and later was contributing editor for the New York Dispatch, which was owned by John Royant lectured in England and wrote articles to the Boston transcript on the Convict Lease System. These four individuals, especially Mrs Barnett, did splendid work in the early days. Then leaders arose who saw the need of organization, both State and national. Lawyers E. G. Walker, James N Wolff, Edward Everett Brown, Rev. Scott and Messrs Mark R Demortie, Hon Isaac B. Allen, Emory T. Morris, John J Smith, Armstrong, Taylor, Barnett and Woodson kept the Colored National League of Boston. Of these gentlemen, Mr. Smith was active in the anti-slavery movement and Mr. Demortie was almost elected to Congress in Virginia. Some of these men had been personally acquainted with William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner and Wendell Phillips, and had acted as body guards when mobs menaced them. The father of E. G. Walker, David Walker, a Boston tailor, wrote Walker's appeal before Garrison edited the Liberator Quite naturally the meetings of the Colored National League were reminiscent of the anti-slavery movement, the Civil War and reconstruction. And the Colored National League did something tangible. When Postmaster Baker was shot in Lake City, S.C., and the babe killed in the mother's arms in February, 1898, the league indorsed a set of resolutions drawn up by the writer, then a Harvard student, and sent the resolutions to Congress. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge presented the resolutions to the United States Senate and they were discussed. The Associated Press devoted from a column to a column and a half to the resolutions and heralded them broadcast over the land. Then in the winter of 1899 Sam Hose was burned at the stake in Noonan, Ga. And then two memorable anti-lynching meetings were held in Boston, in which not only Negro leaders, but some of the most distinguished citizens of Boston, men and women with a worldwide reputation, participated. Col T W Higginson presided at the mass meeting on a Tuesday night in Berkeley or People's Temple And Rev. Samuel Crothers, Rev Charles Gordon Ames, Rev Dr Berle, Ex-Gov. Brackett of Massachusetts, Ex-Attorney-General Pillsbury of Massachusetts, Hon. Wm. H Lewis and Hon. Archibald H. Grimke were the principal speakers. Col Higginson said at the close of the meeting that it reminded him of an old-fashioned anti-slavery meeting. The following Saturday morning Mrs Butler R. Wilson presided at a woman's meeting which was addressed by Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, former president of Wellesley College. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, author of "Battle Hymn of the Republic", Mrs. Ednah D. Cheney and Mrs. Mariah Baldwin These two meetings stirred the country. About this time colored leaders saw the need of a permanent organization. So in 1895 Mr. J. P. Peaker of New Haven, Conn., organized the State Sumner League of Connecticut. He was assisted by Mr. G. Grant Williams of Hartford, Conn., now managing editor of the Philadelphia Tribune. Finally Bishop Alexander Walters and T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York Age, called the National Afro-American Council to meet in Washington, D. C., the last week in December, 1898. This was a marshaling of Negro chieftains. The leading bishops, clergymen, educators, editors, politicians and lawyers of the Negro race attended this meeting. The Afro-American Council finally split in June, 1903 in Louisville, Ky. Out of the ashes of this council the New England Suffrage League emerged, with Messrs. Wm. Monroe Trotter, Emory T. Morris, Granville Martin and Rev. Scott the moving spirits. Its leaders attached themselves to the Niagara Movement, founded by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois in the late summer of 1905. Some of the most brilliant scholars, editors, lawyers, ministers and educated leaders of the race joined the movement. It died a natural death after Messrs. Du Bois and Trotter came to the parting of the ways. But in dying it gave birth to the Equal Rights League and to the N. A. A. C. P. in the summer of 1910. This latter organization spent the first six years discussing "Who Was Who" in the Negro race, marked time the next three years and did effective work the last three years. It probably, like other Negro movements and organizations, became infected with the progressive hustling, "Get there, Eli," spirit, which was set in motion by the U. N. I. A. and which affected black folks everywhere. This in brief is a resume of the efforts to make law, order and good government prevail in this country, and which efforts finally crystallized in the House of Representatives passing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. And while we rejoice at the crystallization of a public sentiment favorable to higher aspirations of men and women of color, let us not forget those who for a quarter of a century, when it was unpopular to champion the Negro's cause, lifted their voice in behalf of justice and humanity and thus paved the way for the pitchers and lamps within the pitchers. And he said unto them 'Look on me and do likewise; and behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that as I do, so shall ye do. When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp and say, "The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon." So Gideon and the hundred men that were with him came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch and they had but newly set the watch and they blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers that were in their hands. And the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers and held the lamps in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal, and they cried, 'The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon.' And they stood every man in his place round about the camp, and all the host ran and cried and fled." It is hardly necessary to admonish members of the U N I A throughout the world to stand in their place as their leader is doing and to have faith in his leadership and in his integrity. The subtle forces of evil and error which are endeavoring to destroy his leadership and to crush the great organization which he has founded will not be able to accomplish their fell designs if every loyal member with an ounce of common sense in his brains and the ability to interpret the significance of the malicious onslaught against our leader and the organization will stand in his place and wield the Sword of the Lord and of Gideon and blow the trumpet, as the host of vituperative slanderers, deceitful and treacherous friends(?) and black-hearted Negro spies and informers run and cry and flee from the wrath of the Sword of the Lord and Gideon.

Of all the critics of the former president, Mr Robert Lansing in "The Peace Negotiations" is the harshest. Mr Wilson's former Secretary of State tells in this book of the subtle influence wielded by General Jan Smuts, the South African Premier, on the technical questions of the conference. As the world knows, it was General Smuts who drafted the League of Nations covenant, which was later modified and adopted by the Princeton professor. Also, in his "Big Four" Mr Lansing defines Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, Woodrow Wilson and Baron Sonnii. But Mr Baker's "steel box" story in the Times—consciously or unconsciously—reveals the Groote Scaure wizard as the overshadowing mind at Versailles. After all, it is a matter entirely at the discretion of the historians, who, after all the evidence is sifted, will decide as to just who was who at Paris. But so far the work of the Boer soldier-diplomat undoubtedly makes him the brainiest intellect Britain has had since Lord Chamberlain. When the question arose as to the arming and training of natives of conquered German possessions in Africa, M Pinchon, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, felt that it was absolutely necessary for France to train and maintain a powerful military native unit in German East Africa. America is far away, argued M. Pinchon, and in case of a sudden attack by Germany France would be caught like a rat in a trap. General Tasker H. Bliss objected to the arming of black troops, declaring "If civilization wants to destroy itself it can do it without barbarian help". General Smuts then with his superior knowledge cited the fact that "The native Askari soldiers, well trained and disciplined under white Gerrican officers, proved a very formidable and effective force." The Tiger, in his desire to get as many concessions as he could for France, tried to offset Jan Smuts' influence on the delegates, but Jan Smuts with his logic and dispassionate arguments scored point upon point and caused the sessions to adopt his plan "That the mandatory State shall form no military forces beyond the standard laid down by the league for purposes of internal police." E D W PROF. J. A. LANGFORD, THE COLORED ARCHITECT, WINS IN A GREAT CONTEST (Special to The Negro World) COLUMBIA, B. C. Feb. 22 1922—Mr J A Langford, the noted architect and mechanical engineer, with headquarters at 2448 Q street, Washington, D. C. has been awarded the architectural work of designing and supervising the Chappelle Hall and Auditorium building for Allen University, in competition with several local architects of this city. This is regarded as a signal victory for the architect In designing the Chappello Hall the plans are to be the best in every respect. The building is to be of the colonial type and purely classical in and out, being of stone, brick, steel, slate and reinforced concrete. When completed as designed by the architect it will be the largest, most commodious and beautiful architectural point of view of any of the colleges or universities owned by the A M E Church or the race in this country. It will have every modern appliance for laboratory, domestic and applied sciences; printing department, business department, central heating and lighting plant, dining hall to seat five hundred or nore students, auditorium with Roman gallery, with seating capacity for nearly two thousand people; a stage with fly and footlights so arranged as to accommodate fifty or more players, something solely needed in this city, where local talent and visiting players may have advantage of stage and auditorium. Mr. Langford designed and supervised the new Bethel A. M. E. Church at the corner of Sumter and Taylor streets, one of the most beautiful churches in the country and by far the most beautiful in the city. The Columbia State, a local daily and leading paper of this State, carried a story and picture of it the last week. In addition to this Mr. Langford has secured the work of designing and supervising the new building for the new Bank of Charleston, G. C. This bank has more progress than any other Norton bank in South Carolina. It is not over two years old and has the backing of some of the best people in the State. The building is to be one of the most substantial in that city, six or seven stories high, and to be to be used in BAKER'S defense of Woodrow or, collapses at a very significant of the former president, Mr Robert ons" is the harshest.

It used to be the fashion, "gentlemen," but it is not so now. In the language of the immortal Homer Marcus Garvey and those who believe in and are with him, whatever they may be for every right with all their might, and then some more. His real friends have neither "cold feet" nor cold hearts. They intend to stand or fall with him, whatever they may be, and they fully realize that nothing can happen that will be discreditable to him as a man, or to the organization he has founded for the making of men.

Upon my naked arms and legs the rays of a monster sun descend unmistakely. The burning sand is knoxhigh. Not a breath is stirring. My lips streak. Rivers of persecution stream down my body. My sanded feet are no longer feet. They are bare and sore and bleached O. Lord, how long? Visions of the Christ and his tragic journey to earth crowd down upon me I strain my eyes to penetrate the beyond of the blinding desertland. The sight repels me. I stagger on and on, am sinlessly. Like a ship in a hostile sea. I push on and on, to God knows where. How long I strayed thus I do not know. My head bowed. I plough on and on, for stop means to go down—to go down means to die—and I never say die! . . . Alas, after hours of resistance. I give in. It is too mighty a task for me—survival. I close my eyes and constine my soul to—— ducky figure hovering about me. To my parched lips a colobard of water is held never in all my life have I tasted nothing so delicious. How clear, how sweet how ref'ing is that water! How sweet how forehead a soft, jewelled hand holds an icry towel. I am under a shade I am afraid to open my eyes—strad of—what? Timidly I try it Before me, anxious-face, a gypsy maiden There is a haunted look in her virgil-like eyes. "Oh a haunted look in her breaths. I thought you'd never get" "Have I been asleep long" I chipped. "Oh, only ten hours," she replied, and at the sound of her voice involuntarily my thoughts flew to bluebells and my thoughts flew to bluebells. It is so music! "Please be quiet," she says. "Try and rest a little longer." But I cannot rest. Furtively I watch the movements of my fair rescuer. I wonder who she is. I look around, and there a few feet away, a tent at the sand and the sea. I see the wadows of leaves. I above is a majestic palm away in the glorious breezes. She is beside me again, ministering to my feeble wants. I am brassen enough to stare at her my head swells as I feast on her intracting beauty. She sits at my side and begins to play a mandolin. At first she starts off in a galloping wooly-tail, wicked, fantastic. Then—did I hear right?—she sobered down to the lines of a beautiful native clan. Where had I heard the thing before. Yes, my core do not deceive me. It is "Gachimba!" ONLY A NIGGER CARTER—By Don Marquia. D. Appleton & Co. New York. BY ERIC D. WALROND This is one of thirteen short stories by the columnist of the Sun. Carter is a mulatto whose "forebears had signed the Magna Charta: several had fought in the Revolutionary War. There had been a United States Senator in the family and a Confederate general." Seven-eighths of his blood is white. As he grew up he scorned the society of black men. Then he came North—and fell in love with a white girl whose Anglicized name was Mary." Tortured by the predominance of his Negro blood, Carter decides to confess to Mary. One night, as a golden mood hung low in the skies of Coney island and the fragrance of illoas blooms was strong and sensuous, he took the bull by the same arm. Mary was not shocked or riffled and "up in the air" about it. All she did was to continue chawing her gum white she gazed at the placid waters of Jamestown. This irritated the white in Carter. "Do you mean," he said hesitatingly, "that it will—that it won't make any difference to you?" That you can marry me, that you will marry me in spite of—in spite of what I am!" "Goel but can't you the solemn one!" said the girl, taking hold of her gum and stringing it out from her lips. "Whatcha's pose I care for a little thing like that?" But this does not satisfy Carter; it only serves to plunge him into the "inusable gloom" of Edgar Allan Poe. "By God!" he said, suddenly leaping to his feet and flinging aside the starled hand which the girl put out toward him. "I can't have anything to do with a woman who'd marry a nigger." PORTRAIT AN ARTIST By ERIC D. WALBOND A few days ago I met a pianist who possesses a philosophy rare among artists. Sadie Cohen, to be sure, an art-for-art-saker, but she realizes that she is dwelling in a world of butchers and landlords and subway ticket choppers. And she demonstrates in a very practical way the application of ordinary horse-sense to the business of one's art. She sat there and it was indeed a treat to listen to her charming interpretation of Chopin and Beethoven and other great artists. To hear her play is to enter the golden gates of classic art. Her exquisite rendition of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" was certainly heartening in view of the universal prostitution of the piece. Miss Cohen is a skillful master of technique, and her interpretations are full of fire and emotion. Needless to say she is completely wrapped up in her work, and it is simply a question of time before she will be hailed as one of the leading pianists of our day. IN MEMORIAM Please allow me space in this grand-set of all papers to say = few words in loving memory of our dear friend and member of the U. N. I. L. and A. G. L. Mr. Joseph Thompson, who passed away a few months ago. As a friend I do say, "Alone and not yet alone, for the Father is with him." Loving memory, shall low, ming, around, his name. The hearts that in life always loved him love him his death just the same. 'OUR MONEY' I appeal from Daniel to Bolomun Bolomun seems to have understood finance both in theory and in the practical administration of his kingdom. He says. The rich ruleb over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender. It is a condition and not a law that confrences the Negroes of the world today. In the same chapter is another proverb which seems especially applicable to our financial condition at this time. He that oppreseth the poor to increase his riches and he that gives to the rich shall surely come to want Those who wonder at the financial success of the Jewish race in money matters should study the teachings of Moses. They will find there the method and promise of his financial prosperity. They are commanded not to lend to one another at usury. At the end of seven years they are to release brethren from debt. But to foreigners they can lend at usury "Thou shalt lend unto many nations but thou shalt not borrow and thou shalt reign over many nations but they shall not reign over thieves. Again thou shalt lend unto many nations and thou shalt not borrow. And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail, and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath.* The Bible is a wonderful book its philosophy is as true today as it was 3,000 years ago. Unfortunately, for our people, our present generation belongs to what I may call the borrowing school of finance. I don't believe it is putting it too strongly to say that 90 per cent of our people are only a year away from the poor house, and 50 per cent of them are not more than a wook away from it. Roughly speaking, 95 per cent of the total Negro population in the United States die poor and 6 per cent die rich. Against this observe that the United States as a whole has progressed marvelously, the national wealth being in 1850, $713,750,000 and in 1915 (estimated) $187,739,010. Now it is individualize the nation as a great mother with some hundred million children and the strong fact will be observed that there has been a growing radically wrong will with a program in the past. There are over 390,000 corporations in the United States. Of these 296,000 are corporate surplus and undivided of $1,000,000 or less. And only a few corporations are capitalized at $1,000,000 or over. Which shows that most of the business interests in the country is relatively small. What figures are contemplated toomes evident the wealth created by our people in the United States in some mysterious process or print-printing into the hands of that the foreign groups that Moses warned his people against. Individualism is as urgent, responsible for our present condition of affairs. And the timely to overcome that is very simple when it is understood. All we need to do is to work together to compete. But like all other great movements thought must necessarily precede action. Every man must be in mental agreement with his neighbor before the greatest results can be achieved. We must agree on certain fundamental things precisely as we agree on the alphabet the multiplication table or a proposition in geometry. There is no chance for us to overcome the social and political stratacism in the United States and elsewhere until we learn to conserve our wealth and distribute it so that we will participate in its turnover to the end that we become a powerful financial force. We have built up great religious and fraternal organizations under the delusion that they would solve our economic problems. They have done wonderful work, it is true, but as long as disorganized financially our position will be beneath other races. In studying the history of Europe we find that commerce was the great force that broke the force of feudalism. Commerce crept through the barriers that kept localities apart, it established a circulation of wares through a large area of country, and it concentrated wealth in the cities which it built up. In a recent article by Mr U S. Poston, minister of labor and industry, U N I A, he gives expression to a splendid thought and hits the nail squarely on the head when he says: The Universal Negro Improvement Association, mindful of these economic facts, is formulating a program for 1922 that will ultimately free the Negro economically. In this program the Your Pen Repaired Today Will Save You the Price of a New One Tomorrow. LENOX PEN HOSPITAL 541 Lenox Ave. Between 187th and 1838 Sts. Phone 1779 Auduban Mail Orders Freely Attended to association plans to stabilize a number of sound industries wherever there is a division, not stopping there, but carrying its program into the rural districts, organizing the farmer and assisting him in controlling the commodities that he produces, through a chain grocery and commission merchant system, which will enable the farmer to raise and sell his produce at a reasonable profit. We further read that. In pursuance of this program the department of labor and industry has circularized its rural membership in the interest of this work, and are being flooded with correspondence samples of produce. Any farmer desiring to co-operate with them in this particular is requested to correspond with the minister of labor and industry. After carefully investigating a number of plans, I have come to the conclusion that the proper program to finance or local business needs is through community effort co-operation it means concert for the diffusion of wealth it leaves nobody out who helps to produce it it touches no man's fortune it seeks no plunder. it causes no disturbance in society. it gives no trouble to our government it enters into no secret associations. it contemplates no violence it subverts no order it loses no dignity it accepts no gift nor asks any favor it keeps no terms with the idle, and will break no faith with the industrious. It is neither monastic service nor offensive it has its hands in no man's pocket and does not mean that any hand shall remain long or comfortably in its own. It means self-help self-dependence and such share of the common competence as labor shall earn or thought can win, by means which shall leave every other an equal chance of the same good. Distributive Co-operation: The Co-operative Store A modern co-operative store generally commences and obtains success by five things 1 Intelligent discontent at being compelled to spend the major portion of our wealth with groups who receive all the benefits of the profits. 2 By opening a small, low-rented, clean shop, and selling good goods by honest measure and at average prices. 3 Increasing the cheapness of goods bought by concert of custom. The more money is taken into the market, the further it goes in purchasing, while the large custom gives full employment to the workman, and diminishes the relative cost of management. 4 By buying from wholesale dealers, the stock of the store can be obtained from the best markets, at the lowest rates and of uniform good quality. It is by CONTINUITY OF QUALITY that the prosperity of the store is established. 5 By capitalizing the first profite carried to the credit of the members (for example) until they amount to $25 By this means the first hundred members supply a capital of $2,500. Loss than $25 to each member provides an insufficient capital In commencing a store the first thing to do is for two or three persons to call a meeting of those likely to care for the object in view and able to advance it The callers of the meeting should be those who have clear notions of what they want to do, how it is to be done, and why it is attempted. Capital for the store is usually provided by each person putting down his or her name for a smaller or larger sum—as each may be able—say from 10 cents to 25 cents or more per week—toward the payment of five shares of $5 each. A small store may make a beginning with 100 members who subscribe one share of $5 each It is safest for members to subscribe their own capital, borrowed money is a dangerous thing to deal with. Interest has to be paid upon it before any profits are made. By commencing upon the system of the intending co-operators subscribing their own capital, a larger number of members are obtained, all have an equal and personal interest in the store, and give it their custom that their money may not be lost. This plan of dividing profits on purchases secures not only a common interest, but a large and permanent custom. It may take longer to collect the capital, but it lasts longer when it is collected, and is much more productive. A secretary and a treasurer should be appointed, and two or three nimble-footed, good-tempered, earnest fellows to act as collectors, who should go around to the members and bring into the treasury their various subscriptions. Some will pay their money unnaked, but many must be solicited for their subscriptions. These collectors require to be men of infinite patience and of practical sense. They are the real founders of the store, they cause the funds which creates it, they teach the first lessons of providence to hundreds of families who else would never learn them. Whatever business is entered into by the store the members should get some intelligent, experienced man to put them in the right way of buying and selling, and preserving stock. There are thousands of wholesale houses in the United States from which the stores can make purchases on a competitive basis. (There are various kinds of trade journals, but such information can be furnished by the Department of Labor and Industry through the column of The Negro World, and to better advantage.) By means of this economical buying first-class goods may be obtained at low prices. This is what co-operation can give to members, and nothing save co-operation can do this. A true co-operator has three qual- perimented on himself and not known as LINE whiche or edits may use name and address to A, Columbus, Ohio. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 ties, good sense, good temper, and good will. Good sense—to dispose him to make the most of his means; good temper—to enable him to associate with others, and good will—to incline him to serve others, and be at trouble to serve them, and go on serving them, whether they are grateful or not in return, caching only that he does good, and finding it a sufficient reward to see that others are benefited through his unthanked exertions. In a properly constituted store the funds are disposed of quarterly in seven ways 1. Expenses of management. 2. Interest due on all loans. 3. An amount equivalent to 10 per cent of the value of the fixed stock, set apart to cover its annual reduction in worth, owing to wear and tear. 4. Dividends on subscribed capital of the members. 5. Such sums as may be required for extension of business. 6. Say $2.5 per cent of the remaining profit. After all the above items are provided for, to be applied to educational purposes, there remains 7.

The following little statement should suffice to explain to the most cursory reader what advantages a good cooperative store may confer upon a town. 1. It will make it possible for our people to obtain good goods at fair market prices, to put their money to work in a creative way so it may earn to the limit of its capacity, concentrate our wealth, and create fields which are essential to the building up of the larger industrial enterprises. 2. It will teach the advantage of cash payment over credit. 3. It will give men a knowledge of business which they might not otherwise obtain. 4. It will enable them to carry on trade of millions of dollars a year. 5. It will make them joint proprietors of freehold property worth upwards of millions. 6. It will secure them an annual not profit of millions. 7. It will allowize more distress than any other social organization W J HYATT. 1931 Jefferson Ave. Tacoma, Wash.

(Special Correspondence) - The Tri-Council of Bishops of the A M E, A M E Zion, and C M E. e churches, composed of about thirty bishops, which held its biennial session in this city last week, went on record as indorsing fully the plan of inter-racial co-operation through the churches, as formulated by the Federal Council of American Churches. This plan heads up in the Federal Council Inter-Racial Commission, of which Mr John J Eagan, of Atlanta, is chairman, and Dr George E. Haynes, secretary. The purposes of this commission, briefly stated, are as follows To assert the sufficiency of Christian principles in the solution of race relations, to promote mutual confidence and co-operation, to distribute accurate knowledge of conditions, to develop a public conscience in inter-racial matters, which will secure fair treatment and the correction of wrong conditions, and to provide an agency through which all the churches may work together. The approval of the Tri-Council which is one of the most august ecclesiastical bodies in America, opens the way for the fullest co-operation of the vast Methodist constituency in the far-reaching program laid out by the Federal Council. A CARD OF THANKS New York City, Feb. 23. The widow and family of the late Dr York Russell take this method of returning thanks to the friends who sent flowers before and during the day of the funeral of Dr Russell. They would like to write personal acknowledgments of those offerings of love and sympathy to each person, but as a large number of these floral pieces sent contained only the names of the senders or their initials, it will be impossible to do more than to make this public acknowledgment, expressing their thanks and gratitude to the legion of friends who thus testified to their high appreciation of the life and worth of the deceased. THE VOICE OF TRUTH Children of Folly, by George E. Carter, Published by Edwin Day Sibley, New York; $1 By ERIC D. WALROND Here is a book that every parent ought to read. It is an excellent bit of theological writing with a moral in every line. At times one not in sympathy with the work of reformers or propagandists is tempted to lay it aside and take up a book that epitomizes the ideal of Prof. Pitkin, that the "story's the thing after all." After all, he says in a quite superfluous preface, that was the intention of the author and one must read the book with this in mind. It is not a race book. Its theme is so mighty one cannot treat it judiciously in terms of race. As a work of great moral and spiritual value it is decidedly timely. While it is obviously a work of fiction it falls down on technique in a very regrettable way. But, as we said before, the theme is so sweeping it galileo roughened over the inconsequential (7) items of plot, emotional interest, characterisation, etc. **WORLD'S GREATEST GONG** *NEW YORK TIMES* **BESTSELLER** *BY* *PREST.

WEEKLY SERMON By Q. EMONEI CARTER Subject—"Your Price for Jesus" Text—Matt 28:5 "What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?" This question, asked by Judas Iscariot, of the high priest, is being answered daily by every unsaved man, backsider and careless Christian in terms of personal gratification or good time. Will you pause long enough in your mad rush of life to consider the price you are paying, and the compensation you are receiving for your investment? Does the object of your betrayal merit the treatment? I am sure you are engaged in your present endeavor because you have not thought. When you stop and think the situation through, and this is difficult, you will change. Christ came into the world to save every man. He paid the price of our redemption with His life. Still some of us go blindly through life selling Him or betraying His trust. A study of the present-day conditions will reveal the fact that some of us sell our Lord for the satisfaction that comes in drinking; others in worldly lust; some in pride; others in fame, some in adultery; others in fornication, some in envy; others in malice; some in stealing; others in lying; some in prejudice; others in slander, some in self-aggrandizement; others in arrogance. Each of these prices is an under-estimate of the goods exchanged. Each of these serve but a selfish end and cannot last. We must be traders in values that are conducive to the best in life.

NEGRO FACTORIES: CORPORATION in worldly flesh pots, and heal the wounds you have given your greatest benefactor. Now is the time to begin. Any day may increase the price of your betrayal. For habit fixes itself and indulgence begins a degree of indolence in certain directions. Not any business, organization, movement or even a life can afford to have in its working machinery man and women who do not know real values, nor those who are so careless as to their making a bargain. The Christ value is the highest value, yet it is the most easy of access. It is a value that does not fluctuate. It is always above par. Why not deal in this market price? The price that you must pay in securing co-operation, the price that you must pay in gratifying your fellow man, as well as self, must be love, sacrifice, integrity, carcinestness, obedience and faithful service. Bit in introspection, at home, in the office, on the job, in the street car, or even when walking in the busy street, and decide what your price shall be for the Christ. The inner sense of right and justice will dictate your conclusion. You shall come forth praising your Maker and firm in your determination to place a value on your Christ worthy of His being. Go forth, then, dealing in life values. For death is but a transition, and life is a continuity, therefore life values are eternal. What is yours? A MESSAGE FROM CREE-TOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY Creektown, Scotland, Feb. 13, 1922. Dear Sir, it may interest your readers to know that a book we added to our library a few weeks ago, viz. "The Children of the Slaves," by Stephen Graham, is now the book most in demand. We had no idea that such injustices prevailed in the "Land of the Free." In fact, if it had not been written by a Britisher of proved integrity we could hardly have believed that some of the incidents described could be true. We in Britain, of course, can do very little to help, but we can always sympathize. The London "Daily Mail", with its circulation of over one and a half million, is always ready to champion the cause of the wronged and the oppressed. Did you never send a report to it of any of those cruel lynchings? Let the world know of the wrongs of the colored folks in the Southeastern States. If necessary, put up a powerful wireless station on the coast and let every wrong be known. Youra, etc. J. McD. Secretary C. P. L. "FREEDOM DOES NOT DIE!" By R. T.

SIASM IS ONE OF T ever translated steam into the d or changed pig iron into steel and great energizer of the human DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY (Under Direction of Ulysses O. Postan) THE NEGRO PROBLEM AN ECO- NOMIC ONE Stripped of its prejudice, analysed by intelligent minds, the final analysis of the so-called "Negro Problem" reveals the fact that the basic cause of this world-wide problem is economic. The Negro was brought as a slave from Africa to the Western world to fill an economic need, and since his emancipation from chattel slavery his struggle has been one continuous effort to free himself from the tightly drawn yoke of economic oppression. During this rugged, pathetic and persistent struggle there have been heaped upon him many atrocities, some so dastardly that they seem at times inconceivable to the human mind. He has been subjected to such maltreatments ar lynching, burning, segregations, etc, which have aided from him many of the much prided virtues found in other races. Whenever he attempts to resent such atrocious practices used on him he is branded by the headlines of the daily papers as "Criminals," "Burly Negroa," "Desperate Blacks," etc, solely for the purpose of discounting him as a factor in the social, economic and political world. The final analysis of the East St. Louis, Washington, Chicago and Tulsa riots revealed the fact that their basic causes were economic. The late world war was fought to determine the future economic exploiters of Africa. The basic cause of the Negro problem in the West Indies, South and Central America is economic. The economic environments under which the Negroes of the world are living have robbed them of an opportunity to develop themselves roundedly, and because of their present state of development they are discredited and treated as inferior by other races. It is pitiful to observe some of our leaders and organizations in their feeble attempts at solving their great problem by trying to remove some of the effects caused by the problem, instead of trying to remove the cause of the problem. If the cause of the problem were removed, which can may be done by the establishment of strong national existence and by strengthening ourselves economically, there would not be any need of the Dyer anti-lynchman law, civil rights bill, etc. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the wise leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey, is aiming at the removal of the basic cause of this problem. This movement is fastening on the Negro in new physiology, which is awakening in him that latent virtue "initiativeiveness," and when that virtue shall have been thoroughly awakened the Negro will fell fresh, bridge streams, build cities, fight battles and write histories as all other great races are doing.

It is not the custom to burden the thieves of The Negro World with inquisitive matter, hence I have been solicitant in the part of that speak of the African Blood Brotherhood, and even now I woul not take your time with this paper organization but for the fact that it terves to confirm an opinion I little always had of that bunch. This alleged Negro wing of a revolutionary organization, seeking to overthrow the United States government, has been busy circulating libelous matter in foreign countries against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and some of its officers. They have been doing this through a little sheet called the "Crusader Bulletin," copies of which came into the hands of our secret service men a 1 were forwarded to. But it is not with libelous matter against Mr. Garvey or insults Prof. Ferris (a paragraph taken from an oratory written by Prof. Ferris without treating it in its relationship to the whole was used diabolically in that bulletin) that we wish to deal in this article. Such things will be taken up in the proper place and time by the proper persons. But what I wish to deal with in this article are the aims and objects of the African Blood Brotherhood as gleaned from the copy of the "Crusader Bulletin," which I have before me. So busy this the bunch been in trying to get "The powers that be" to destroy the U. N. L. A that one would be led to believe that their object in seeking to have the U. N. L. A destroyed is to afford them an opportunity to build another great Negro organization upon the wreck of the one to whose destruction they would have contributed. But this is not true. The African Blood Brotherhood, as I glean from this bulletin, does not believe in a great Negro organization. They have been fighting Magnus Garvey because he does not link up with white organizations, to unite the words of the "Crusader Bulletin," "whose interests are identical with our interests." The white individuals have generously aided the Negro and have championed his cause, but we would like to see the white organization whose interest is identical with that of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. The oppressor does not make a fit ally for the oppressed. Ask any old cat and he will tell you that the cat is not good company. Any organization which would lead the Negroes into the ranks of the Soviets and Reds of this country under the guise that their condition would be improved by the alliance is a positive menace. The claim of Marcus Garvey that the Negroes must free themselves is threatening the meal-ticket of somebody, dance the mad rush of these schemers to get into the U. N. L. A. dissipate it, and then surrender it into the hands of the revolutionary forces (the Reds, Soviets, etc.), who will not only destroy the Negro, but destroy themselves as well. 一 But the Negro is no fool. He sees the whole scheme. (Ask Cyril Briggs, head of the A. B. B., who has been trying to get Negroes to join his organization and has made such a failure. He knows.) The Negro will not be received any more. He will cease to be the burden-bearer of the world. Not because he loves other races less, dear reader; it is because he loves his own race more. We can't see why the world should pick a quarrel with us because we want to relieve the world of the task of taking care of us and attend to that little detail ourselves. We may be mistaken. (If we are, probably Briggs and others, who know more about what their white people are thinking than we, perhaps, will set us right.) But our belief is that even white people welcome this day when the Negro seeks to be the "best possible Negro and not an imitation white" when he seeks to stand upon his own foot instead of begging the white man who has other use for his money, perhaps. At any rate we trust that we are right in our judgment of the world concerning us. But if we are not—if man loves us best when we cringe and kiss—then we can only pity them and drive on to a full realization of our manhood rights, boot-licking,gan-ations to the contrary notwithstanding.

Rev Dr Edward P Jones, the president of the National Baptist convention (unincorporated), presided. Charles Batchchel Morris, Jr. brilliant and eminent young colored orator, a senior in the University of Chicago where he stands in the front rank of his class, was the principal speaker of the occasion. He chose as his subject *Lincoln* and Douglas, Naturals *Granandes Noblemen*. He declared in part "There is a profound similarity between Lincoln and Douglas. It is true that one was white, the other black, but basically there was no such distinction. The great colored statesman buried forensic thunderbolts from a thousand American platforms. He paved 'the way for the sublime Lincoln to write the Emancipation Proclamation with the blasting stroke of a diamond pen. He shall forever live in the crystal castle of undying memory. Millions of struggling black boys and girls shall emulate the patron saint of a grateful race." . . . Liberty was Lincoln's scapept and justice his gilded thrombe. A man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, one from the ranks of toil, he stands out as the sovereign of the modern ages. His life but proves again that all men love the hero and despise the coward. Maryland gave us a promise; Kentucky a fulfillment." At night young Morris addressed the largest audience that ever jammed Berean Baptist church, Chicago, at another colossal memorial service. Madame Camille Cohen Jones, beautiful lyric soprano, the daughter of the noted Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, La., was the soloist at the afternoon meeting, singing in French. She is one of the most accomplished artists in America. The celebrations were among the most successful ever staged in this section. REV. GLASHEN IN TENN. REV. T. C.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 BOOK CHAT BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Maryland Teachers' Association Advancement of Colored People BATOUALA" By Rena Maran published in Paris. Received the Prix Goncourt, 1921 The book is in French paper cover In his preface, describing the section in equatorial Africa in which his novel is laid, Maran says It was a region rich in rubber and with a large population It had many plantations and its people raised large numbers of chickens and kids. Seven years of foreign rule have been enough to ruin it completely The villages have been destroyed the plantations have disappeared, the kids and the chickens are dead. The natives, weakened by excessive toll have not had the time to sow their crops They have seen disease brought to them, famine overtake them, and their population grow less This is the keynote of the remarkable novel by Rene Maran that has been awarded the Prix Goncourt, the most coveted literary prize in France. Maran is a French man, born at Bordeaux of colored parents. His mother comes from Guadeloupe, his father from Martinique. After finishing his studies he took up his residence in a remote part of French equatorial Africa, two days journey from Lake Chad, as a colonial official. His novel was published before he left, but he did not know that a friend had presented it for the Prix Goncourt, and he may not know yet, so emote is he from France. He has also published two volumes of verse. It is a tremendous honor that has come to this young colored Frenchman, and one turns eagerly to the volume that has been accorded such a prize, but if we look at Bataoua, propaganda for the Negro we shall be sadly disappointed. It depicts a grossly sensuous tribe held in subjection by a brutal government. But as a picture of the horrors of imperialism it has never been surpassed. Have in a short preface the author keeps himself and his opinions entirely in the background, and yet he says so much. There is an important ceremonial dance, described with horrible detail, that takes place when the white commandant is away, and in the midst of the excitement Bataoua, the chief cries out against, the French. In a few pages he gives the history of a peaceful agricultural people brought into the bondage of European commercial greed. We are nothing, but flesh out of which taxes may be ground. We are nothing but beasts of burden. Beasts? Not even that! The white man will feed a dog and care for a horse. But we? We are less than these animals, we are lower than the lowest. The white men are slowly killing us." And to this his cynical old father cries: "Let us whine less and drink more," and thanks the French for their gift of absinthe. Batouala, in his dying delirium, tells of what he hates in the whites their lying, their cruelty, their unreasonableness, their hypocrisy. And he cries out against taking the Negro to far off lands to fight for the savage of the whites, and if they protest they are imprisoned or hung "There are no serfs nor chiefa, whites or blacks only men, and all men are brothers. No he gives his philosophy. And in the meanwhile the French commandant who has been asked for medical aid to help save this chiefa life, replies with charming candor that he should be gind to have Batouala die and all his people with him. The plot of Batoulais is the eternal French triangle—a husband, a wife and a lover. The husband, the Chief Batoulais, has a favorite wife, Yassi-guinja, who becomes enamoured of his friend Bissibingui. The husband in his jealousy determines to kill Bissibingui, and when they are together in the hunt, "and such a marvelous description of a hunt as this is," throws his knife at his rival while appearing to throw it at a panther who is near Bissibingui. The knife misses its aim, and the panther turns upon Batoulais and with one stroke of his paw tears open his body. The end of the great chief is magnificent. He is silent after the delirium in which he inveighs against the French. Only his little dog is with him, a snarling little red dog, one of the most real figures in the story. It is night, Yisalguinja is in her hut, and with her his rival. He sees them embracing one another. His jealousy gives him strength, and, rising to his feet, like an infant taking its first steps, he advances toward the pair, who rush apart and stand against the wall, their tooth chattering with terror. But Batouala has no further strength, and, like a great tree in the forest he falls to the ground. "At the sound the ducks quack, the hens cackle, the little red dog grows without opening his eyes, the ante, at work in their houses in the brown earth, make a grating sound. And Yassiguinja and Blissbinqui flee into the night. Little by little the sounds die away and sleep falls upon all. Silence and solitude keep watch. Batouala, the majestic night is over you. Sleep. Sleep." The book is great literature, but it describes things sexual with a particularity that is untranslatable. One who has read much of Africa knows, however, that the great festival that under French rule has become merely an orgy, once had a deep religious significance. The story pictures a primitive people corrupted by European influence, between two worlds, one dead and the other not yet born. And if the French ever do bring spiritual life 1 *leguatorial Africa*, if Christ and not the devil of commercial exploitation ever rule in it, few natives, if we are to credit Maran, will profit by the change. Every year they are dying at the hands of that modern civilization that white men are taught not to quash. BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN THE WIT OF THE BIBLE BY BRUCE ORT Long-faced Christians who rarely smile no doubt will be shocked when told that many passages are to be found in the Good Book that are positively full of wit and humor, though the "Good Book" is by no means a jest book, it is a just book. Now take your Bibles, brush the dust off them and turn to Job 30 7. He is here speaking of those who pretend to look down on him in his adveritas, and says they are fools and belong to the long-earned fraternity. Anybody with less wit might have come out bluntly and called them asses, but Job employs the language of diplomacy and said of them, "Among the tribes they brayed, under the nettles they were gathered together." Now if this is not wit there is no such thing as wit And the good St Paul, who once thundered on Mars Hill, also also posed seas of a dry humor which discover that he like others who have followed in his footsteps, experienced at times the necessity of leaning on the brethren for the whorewhal to make life endurable and preaching possible, for in Second Chronicles we read. Why have we not fared as well as other churches? Ah there is one grievance that we have not had me to support. Pray do not lay it up against me. And Elijah good old soul, was a prince of jesters, a master of sarcasm and ridicule. In First Kings, 28 76 27, what he said to the prophets of Baal must have made the people roar with laughter while these prophets were going through their antics. Isaiah, who must have been of Irish extraction, or have visited Ireland some centuries before the Revolution of 1798 when he contracted the habit, is responsible for the following confusion of ideas (The Irish 17 36) "Then the Angel of the Lord went forth and smote in the camp of the Assyrians hundred and four score and five thousands, and when they arrose early in the morning behold they were all dead corpse. If a real Irishman had written this it would be called a bull." I have heard dozens of people declare with great solemnity that the Bible says "God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," when as a matter of fact it nowhere appears in the Bible. The quotation is from Stierne Sentimental Journey to Italy. Now look at Isaiah 22 3 and note the difference. The idea is almost exactly the same and Stierne very probably got it from the Bible. Another old veteran. In the midst of life we are in death is often met at funerals and "Jobs comforter gatherings" and credited to the Bible. It is from the burial service "for the dead and was borrowed from a hymn written by Martin Luther "Prone to sin as the sparks fly upward" is not in the Bible, but this is Born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward. It is to be found somewhere in Job. Lock it up. There is a wonderful similarity between the writings of Shakespeare and many paragams in the Bible, which, I think, shows that the Bard of Avon who was a double-minded man and certainly one of the most wonderful men of his own or any subsequent age was quite as familiar with the Bible as he was with his own great work, for throughout nearly all of his great dramas there is to be found a evidence of his knowledge of the Holy Book among which the following passages are fair examples Othello "Rude am I in my very speech," etc H Cor 16 6 But, though I be rude in speech etc Macbeth (Witches) Show his eyes and grieve his heart I Samuel, 2 33 Consume thin eyes and grieve thine heart Merchant of Venice (Prince of Morocco) "Dislike me not for my complexion, the shadowed livery of the burnished sun, etc Solomon a Song, 1 6 "Look not upon me because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me, etc" The speech of Ulysses in Trollus and Cresida, 1-3 is almost a paraphrase of St Luke, 21 25-26 "dut when the planets in evil mixture to disorder wander, what plagues and what portents" What mutiny? What raging of the sea, shaking of earth, commotion in the winds" Rights, changes, horrors divert and crack, rend and decimate the musty and mirred calm of state quail from their fixtures. St Luke says "And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars and upon the earth, distress of nations with perplexity The sea and the waves roll roaring men hearts falling them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken" In King Lear we read "All the stored vengeance of heaven fall on her ungrateful top" Pa. 160 9 "As for the heads of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them." The feel is very King James. The fool says to King Lear "We'll set the tree to school to an ant, to teach thee there's no laboring in winter" Proverbs 30:28 and 6 6 read: "The Ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in summer." So it would seem that the Shakespearean drama is not without its element of goodness, now wanting in lofty thought and grandeur and beauty of expression. As I have already intimated, I believe Loold Bodel Communes 945 Wardell I teach preachers here, and I teach laymen. I teach thee there's no laboring in winter." Proverbs 30:28 and 6 6 read: "The Ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in summer." So it would seem that the Shakespearean drama is not without its element of goodness, now wanting in lofty thought and grandeur and beauty of expression. As I have already intimated, I believe Shakespeare to have been a close student of the Bible and that to his knowledge of what it contains and teaches is due to a very great extent his matchless fame as an interpreter of the thoughts and actions of the men and women of his own day and of this. If Shakespeare was not inspired, then there is no such thing as inspiration. Men who read and study the Bible and Shakespeare for their language and thought, their prudential maxims and wise sayings will come very near to having a liberal education and a work ing knowledge of the English language. They are mighty fine reading. as I have learned after more than forty year of contact with them. BRUCE GRIT A FAMOUS POEM Robert L. Cherry of Estill Springs Tenn speaking of the famous poem opportunity ascribed to the late I S. H. John J. Ingalls of Kannan, says "It is a fact not generally known per- haps that Ingalls did not write 'Opportunity' and that it is a translation of a poem entitled Il Fato" which ap- peared in La Svegia, a newspaper of Naples, Italy in 1887.

ALL NEGRO PEOPLE SHOULD UNITE THEIR FORCES Because of the scarcity of all that to human happiness and the lack of institutions of his own. The world is large enough for him to live all other places. Africa now opens up a golden field of oppose and every progressive Negro who desires his own advancement. The hour has struck for universal activity among the Negro peoples of the world, and the Negro people are now living in a selfish material age when each and every Race is looking out for itself. ALL NEGRO PEOPLE SHOULD TUCH THEIR FORCES Because the Negro people are human comfort, the Negro should at least make a desperate effort to build up great industrial plants and institutions of his own. The world is large enough for him to operate in and to work, and he should make the opportunity for each and every progressive Negro who defies his own advantage.

For more than a quarter of a century in the employ of the city as a life-guard at English Bay, the popular colored man passed away at the Vancouver Hospital from a paralytic stroke. He was taken ill three weeks ago with pneumonia, which was succeeded by mumps. He showed signs of recovering, but later took a turn for the worse. Joe was a native of the West Indies and as a boy followed the sea. He came here from Liverpool in 1885 as a seaman on the sailing vessel Robert Kerr, and it was to this ship that Vancouver people fled for safety when the little town was wiped out by the fire of April, 1886. The Robert Kerr later became a C P R coal hulk. Fortes held a variety of jobs on shore before he became identified with English Bay. He was a famous swimmer and had often swum Burrard inlet in his younger days. He was about 55 years of age, single and lived in the little creeper-cottage on the sea-front at English bay The Kiddie' Friend He was immensely popular with Vancouver people and with visitors and the fact that he was such a vigilant guard at the beach made English Bay a favorite spot for children. In his rowboat Joe Kept watch over the rising generation and daily in the season he saw the little ones did not come to harm. Three generations of Vancouver folk have known and loved Joe and there will be genuine sorrow that his advice of "Kick your feet, amam, will no longer be heard. Nearly a score of reocues from drowning were to his credit and he possessed a gold watch and many other tangible evidences of thanks from those he saved. Joe was officially appointed to the beach patrol twenty-five years ago and held authority as a special constable. He was very jealous of his authority and would not tolerate any invasion of the quiet lives of people in boats or canoes. Don ye bother maolk he would bout to unscwitting stranger who nowed among the bathers Little children especially loved Jae They had implict faith in him and he haven't taught hundreds to swim he was a real asset to the city and his death comes as a shock and a blow to the thousands who knew and loved his cheerful ways and hearty greetings. Proud of Nationality Joe was very proud of his British citizenship and nothing delighted him more than to have American tourists ask him from what part of the United States he hailed. Then would Joe swell calmly and tell his questioners that he came from the British West Indies. Not one serious accident occurred last year at English Bay a tribute to the care exercised by Joe and his assistants. Every day he spent hours in his boat and he was always available in emergencies. In the winter months he often went to the assistance of fishing boats which broke down in the bay, and when he started on his crand of mercy he bent to the cars in good deepsea fashion and made his little craft jump through the water. The many years he spent exposed to the elements are believed to have weakened his system and he may correctly be said to have died in the service of the city - The Daily Province. Vancouver British Columbia Bishop S. E. Guinn Editor, Historian and Incorporator. I have the Ribbon on the Ethiopian Black Man. It tells you just what has said the story of the Ethiopian Black Man and disposition of all Negroes. It tells their beginning and end of life. It is only $1.00 ORDER OF THIS ADDRESS 633 E. Bith Street, Cincinnati, Ohio ON A CERTAIN CONDESCENSION IN WHITE PUBLISHERS It is an undoubted, if ignored, truth that in the arts of buying and selling the black brother is the equal of the whites. I mean not here to challenge that fine fiction to which we in America have dedicated our lives, but simply to insist that when the American farmer wants to get pennies for his pumpkins the color of the hands from which those pennies fall is of little concern to him. And we may safely presume that what is true of farmers is true also of most other men who have something to sell. In my mind's eye there lurks a light similitude between the tiller of the agricultural soil and his more proten-tious brother who tilts and traffics in the product of the intellectual soil. These also "raise their crop," deciding at their own risks what weeds shall grow or what goodly harveens shall come up. But the point of chief importance in our comparison lies in the fact that publishers as well as farmers do finally bring or send their crops to market, where the bane or blessing rests with the hands from which must roll in either case the pennies that pay for pumpkins. Now, out of this necessity there springs a certain roughness of dealing, since we must sell, and all buyers' coins are equal, let us extend the courtesies of the market in equal measure to all prospective purchasers. It is this courtesy of trade which helps to reconcile the brother in black to the capitalist system of the brother in white, if all men are not equal, at least all moneys are One dollar from Sam Jones will buy as much social service as one dollar from Lloyd George—and trade courtesy is a social service. But life, alas, has some hard shocks for logic, and the white publishers of America have given me many such. It is now two years since I inaugurated in this newspaper the first (and up to now the only) regular book-review section known to Negro newspaperdom. Since that time I have observed that the magazine called The Crisis has been attempting to follow my footsteps on the trail with such success as was anewsage by youth and insignificance When the book reviews were begun it was with this two-fold aim to bring to the knowledge of the Negro reading public those books which were necessary if he would know what the white world was thinking and planning and doing in regard to the colored world, and to bring the white publisher and his wares to a market which needed those wires. Sometimes the books had been written by Negro authors with whose works Negro readers were thus made acquainted I aimed to render a common service and to a certain extent I succeeded. But one would have thought that the white publishers would be eager to avail themselves of the novel opportunity thus offered to get some more pennies for their pumpkins. But it was not to be I recall my humorous amazement when, after writing to Boni & Liv- right for a review copy of a book dealing with the anthropology of colored peoples. I received and read their reply. The supercilious magnificence of that reply was regal in its sweep. They wanted me to supply them with back numbers of this journal—and even then they simply subsided into silence. What could Negroes know of anthropology whether as critics or simple readers? It reminded me so much of the outraged dowager's dignity of Mrs. Elise Clewe Parsons when a black man in West Africa wrote her some years ago for an oxhange copy of "The Family." She wrote to tell him in reply to his courteous request that the book was not of a sort to interest him and that, perhaps, he had been misled. It created laughter from Lagos to Sierra Leone because—the man who had written was John Monsa Barbah, the illustrious author of the "Fanti Customary Laws," who knew just about five times as much of social anthropology as Mrs. Parsons. So I laughed at the top-lofty airs of Boni and Liveright at that time. The readers of this journal will recall that "The Story of Mankind," by Hendrik Willem Van Loon, was published by reviewed by me. All things change and white publishers may change also. But Boni and Liveright were only an index. To this day I cannot get the New York representatives of Macmillan and company to take the Negro reading public seriously. It is more than three months since I wrote for a review copy of "A Social History of the American Negro," by Benjamin Brawley—and up to now they have not even replied to design. Of course, one might raise the question of the intrinsic quality of the literary criticism done in this section. And that is fair enough, although I am estopped from taking the stand to testify. But other witnesses are not lacking. Eugene O'Neill, author of "The Emperor Jones," has written to say that the review of that work done in this paper was one of the two or three best that had come from any source. The publishers of Hale's "Story of a Style," Morel's "The Black Man's Burden," "Harris" "Africa Slave or Free" and Pratt's "Real South Africa," have found, to their surprise, (and profit) that we can do workmanlike work in book reviewing. (To be concluded next week) R. H. THE NEGRO AND HIGH RENTS In its annual report the New York Charity Organization Society points out that high rents are responsible for more destitution in this city, than any other single factor. The figures sub- mitted in proof of this statement are THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 highly interesting. From them we learn that 26 per cent. of the families to which the society gave assistance were native-born whites. When it is considered that the number of native-born whites in New York is less than 13 per cent. of the entire population, the large proportion of the destitute which they furnish is truly alarming. The native-born Negroes furnished 5 per cent. of the destitution cases, their proportion of the population being slightly more than 3 per cent. To realise fully what this means the reader must remember that according to the society's figures "the average monthly rent paid by families in 1921 was $17.36." That is, for white families, although the report doesn't make this quite clear. Now, the average monthly rent paid by Negroes in Harlem is about fifty dollars—while the average earning for Negroes is much lower than that for whites. It is thus clear that to keep their heads above water the average Negro family has to struggle more fiercely than the average white family. Yet it is a noteworthy social fact that the average Negro home is neater and cleaner than the home of the average white worker who is in the same social class. How do they do it? That is one of America's social mysteries. Some day America will realise this and give credit where credit is due. The society's figures also show that the number of West Indian families who were assisted was exactly equal to that of the Negro Americans. Which, on the face of it, is another argument for American citizenship on the part of resident West Indians. In this connection the Urban League under Mr Hubert has been doing splendid work in relieving distress among scores of West Indian unfortunates. All in all, we find from the report that the Negro in New York is holding his end up and giving a good account of himself. H H A GOOD WORD FOR THE STAGE Once again the actors of the "Shuffle Along" company are going out of their way to give a benefit performance—this time it is to raise $3,000 for the Manasses Industrial School. And it makes us pause to think. No class of people in the public eye has so many ences illumin at life morals as the class or accors. Charity and sympathy are seldom extended to them. Even when death has laid his hands on an actor, there have been found some men wearing the livery of the all-forgiving Christ who have misused their office by choosing the funeral as the time and place to offend the living and insult the dead. Yet all along these hard-working people have exemplified in their helpfulness to each other in distress and to others who stood in need of their help, that sympathy and charity which are the backbone of eal religion. The "Shuffle Along" company has helped where the spotless puritans have not, and in so doing have pointed out the path of social service to those who have fed fat on the people but never turned loose one cent to help others who were not of their crowd when suffering and distress were rife among the people. May those you attend the benefit performance on Sunday. March 5, be able to learn the lesson which those actors have been giving to a selfish world' Many a "minister of the Lord" might in all humility learn a lesson in practical Christianity from these followers of Thespis. MYSTIC ORDER OF HOBGOB- LINS CELEBRATES TENTH ANNIVERSARY New Orleans, La. Feb. 21 The Mystic Order of Hobgoblins is the only Negro secret organization in the western world which is the absolute product of Negro thought. It was organized in 1912 under the leadership of Mr. H. McGinnia. On Feb. 19 they celebrated their tenth anniversary at St. Paul M E church. A grand program was rendered and an excellent sermon was preached by Rev. C. B. Stanley. The Hobgoblins was the first and only Negro society to distribute Xmas toys to poor children of New Orleans. Mr James Crawford and his fellow officers deserve credit for their charitable work.

Feb. 23—The outstanding need of the land-grant colleges for colored people is a supply of trained teachers—teachers in agriculture and the mechanic arts particularly, but especially in agriculture—teachers who can uphold high standards and who can give their pupils what those pupils need. This fact was made clear at t. recent Nashville meeting of the heads and other representatives of the ed land-grant coll presidid over by Dr. John J Tigert of Washington, D. C., U. S. Commissioner t Education. H. J. B. Brown, State Sup. H. J. B. Brown, State Sup- tendent of Public Instruction for Tennesse, in his address of welcome ex- pressed the greetings and interest of Gov Alfred A. Taylor. He stated that 101,000 Negro children in Tennessee, of 160,000 who are of school age, are en- rolled in school. There are 305 ogroes in country high schools and 1,599 in city high schools, according to Supt. own. Leadora Face Big Problem Dr Tigert emphasized the value of the human element in national progress. He declared that Negroes should be given freely the education which they need and should have. He referred to the progress which States like North Carolina and Louisiana have been making in providing educational facilities for Negroes. Dr A C True, director of the States Relations Service U S Department of Agriculture, brought the greetings of Secretary Wallace. Dr True stated that it is important that the Negro colleges should get a correct idea of their obligations to the people whom they serve since their work is one phase of a world-wide educational movement for vocational education. "There are still comparatively few good institutions for vocational training" declared Dr True "As long as industries were simple and labor was both cheap and abundant, there was comparatively little progress or need of skilled workers. With the application of science to industry, however, there has come a change. The human element in industry is now tremendously important and we cannot have prosperous industrial communities without trained workers. Education is Needed for All Groups "Vocational education is not narrow. It must include the principles and fundamental of the business and its relations to community life." "Negroes need, of course, a certain number of persons who will be professionally trained, as well as mechanics and farmers. There will be gifted Negroes in music, in art and in literature, who must have the training that is suited to their needs. In with other races, however, the majority will be engaged in the more mechanical pursuits. There must be teachers who are well trained to teach others how to farm and how to keep house. Negro Farmers Are Assets "There are 925,000 Negro farmers in the United States, or 15 per cont. of the total number of farmers. Over 700,000 of these Negro farmers are tenant farmers or operators. There are about 2,000 Negro farmers who are put down as managers. There are about 218,000 Negro farm owners. In the case of the Negro farm operators, the land and buildings are valued at two and one-quarter billion dollars. "If we can change the standards of living on these farms, which are in charge of Negroes, economic prosperity in general will be likely to increase because it is so largely dependent on agriculture. "There are about 160 Negro farm-demonstration agents and about 80 home-demonstration agents who are working under the U. S. Department of Agriculture. There are also two Negro special agents. "The U. S. Department of Agriculture would like to develop this work further. Yet, even if Congress should give us a larger fund for this purpose, our greatest difficulty would be to find people with the requisite training and experience.

Lana chief of the agricultural education service of the Federal Board of Vocational Education, outlined the progress which has been made under the Smith-Hughes act, passed in 1917, in teaching boys and girls in school and in helping farmers and farm housekeepers through funds which are entirely in the hands of State boards of vocational education. Some State boards he said, have experienced difficulty in finding teachers upon whom they could well spend money. He made a pica for the training of first-class teachers, and expressed his belief that State officials are especially interested in the work of teacher-training. Education for Colored Home-Makers Miss Anna E. Richardson, chief of the home-economics education service of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, paid a tribute to the excellent work of the home-economics supervisors who are at work in the Southern States. "There are three things which are to be done," she said,"by land-grant colleges for colored girls; train home-makers; train for occupations connected with home-making work and allied activities; and train teachers. These teachers, must know what homemaking is. They must have a good general education and a good technical or professional training." Miss Richardson announced that Miss Carrie Alberta Lyford, director of the Hampton Institute Home-Economics School, had been generously released to make a study of the home-economics problems which colored schools are facing Negro Institutions Win Public Support William J Hale of Nashville, president of the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School, stated that in 1909 three white and one colored Normal schools were established in Tennessee. The first year $15,000 was given by Tennessee for its colored land-grant college, while last year $55,000 was given—and in addition $75,000 was given for houses. "Word went out," said President Hale, "that agricultural meant training Negro girls to cook for white people." J S. Clark, president of Southern University, which is located six miles out of Baton Rouge, La., on the banks of the Mississippi, declared that "the colored land-grant colleges have been called upon to do almost everything." --- He stated that T. M. Harris, district superintendent of public instruction and Gov. John M. Parley have been outstanding figures in Louisiana's educational program. The first year $10,000 were appropriated for Southern University. The last Legislature appropriated $257,000 for Southern University and also $10,000 for a school for the Negro blind, which has been built on the Southern University campus. Today 1,000 colored people own their own homes in the neighborhood of Southern University. The following committees on agricultural curricula were appointed: High School division; John O. Spencer, chairman; William J. Hale, secretary; Junior College division, L. M. Favrot, chairman; James B. Dudley, secretary; Senior College division, W. L. Bixell, chairman, and R. F. Wilkinson, secretary. A committee on financial standards was appointed—J. E. Gregg, chairman, and J. S. Clark, secretary. A committee on preparation of faculty and standards of equipment was appointed—J. C. Futral, chairman, and N. B. Young, secretary. The general chairman was Hon. J. B. Brown and the general secretary was Dr John M. Gandy, president of the State Normal School at Petersburg, Va. 1.233 Rosenwald Gohols The conference sent a resolution of appreciation to Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, for his interest and co-operation in the rural school building campaign which is going on throughout the South. Today there are 1,223 Rosenwald schools, with a teacher capacity of 2,812, built at a total cost of $4,013. NOTICE!

CORBIE DELIVERS IMPRESSIVE ADDRESS AT LINCOLN CELEBRATION Holds Up Brilliant Career of Great American as Criterion for All A stirring cology of the immortal Lincoln by Eugene Corbie, one of the most eloquent of Clinton's past orators featured the first assembly of the new term last February 10. With all the simplicity and force that had brought him oratorical laurels at Clinton, he sketched the life of Abraham Lincoln, portraying his trials and privations, his struggle for education, and his determination to free the enslaved Negro race. His election to the Presidency, the guiding of the "Ship of State" through the troubled days of 1845, war, the emancipation of the slaves, and the cowardly assassination, were fervently depicted as Corbelle poured out his heartfelt gratitude to the liberals r of his people. He urged that Lincoln's example be emulated as far as possible and that his motto be a guiding star to those who are striving for a better life, for a nobler conception of ideals, and for a true Americanism: "Justice to humanity, duty to yourself and country."-Clinton News.

IN SAN JUAN, TELA, HONDURAS, UNVEILS ITS CHARTER From early hours of the morning on Monday, January 22, the whole village of San Juan could have been heard discussing the grand unveiling of the charter which was to be held at our Liberty Hall on the above date. This affair was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic audience, so large was the gathering that the officers decided not to use the Liberty Hall, but have the meeting on the green in the front of it. Sharply at 1 10 p.m the Black cross Nurses, the chair and the officers assembled at the residence of Mr. Sylvester Garcin, and from there marched to the green. The banner was carried by the head nurse Ms. Englinson followed by the choir, the nurses, the charter voiled with the officers in the rear. On their arrival at the green the ode, "From Greenland aley Mountains," was sung, followed by a prayer by Chaplain Brown of the Tela Division. The charter was unveiled by little Mia Arau and Master Samamba 5.00 3.

A C FRANCISCO Secretary U. N. L. A. EXHIBITION, BRITISH HONDURAS DIV U. N. L. A. EXHIBITION, BRITISH HONDURAS DIV --- The Blitz Division of the U.N.A. is still going strong the local Liberty Hall coating between two and three thousand dollars having been completely paid for, a financial feat locally surprising considering our community. Week by week the meetings are kept up, injecting fresh and green interest in the cause. A devoted band of life officials are seeing to it that the cause does not lag and excellent work still being accomplished, which touches not only the organization but the welfare of the whole colony. Acting upon the initiative set by the parent body the indefatigable vice president, Mr W Campbell, in the absence of Mr C A Mostley, the president, who was traveling in Honduras, but who has now returned, conceived the idea of staging an exhibition during the recent Christmas holidays. Though the time was short and the idea an unprecedented one for British Honduras, the results surpassed the expectations even of its promoters. Aided by the hard working secretaries, Messrs Anglin and Hillzario, and a noble band of enthusiastic workers, the work was pushed with vigor, exhibits in from all sides, and for the three days preceding Christmas the doors of the two story hall were opened to the public. His Excellency the Governor Sir Kyre Hutson, K C M G, gracefully consented to preside at the opening of the function while a number of prominent gentlemen of the community, including members of the Legislative Council, acted as judges His Excellency expressed his surprise and pleasure at what he saw, and promised every assistance to the educational aim of the genius. The skillful workmanship executed by Negroes, displayed in many of the exhibits, was a surprise to all who visited the exhibition. Mechanical design cabinet work in beautiful mahogany, upholstering, needlework painting in water colors, confectionery and other manufactured foodstuffs agricultural and natural produce, etc. most of it the work of amateurs, filled the various stalls. The nursing department of the Black Cross Nurses, headed by Mrs. Vivian Beay, treasurer of the Ladies' Division excelled in the preparation, professionally, of trays of dirt for imaginary invalids preparations which, in the opinion of the judges, could not be surpassed This is high praise coming from one who is a graduate of Scottish universities and a medical man. Perhaps the most unique of the exhibits was a miniature motor engine constructed by a Carib Negro, who had never been inside a machine shop. The affair was a splendid exhibition of native talent and industry, and an indication of what can and will be done by Negroes under proper advantages. Large crowds visited the show during its three days of opening for whom delicious refreshment stalls catered. The I N I A band along with other bands and orchestra, enlivened the proceedings with excellent music. The whole affair made future possibilities for the colony in general and the I N I A in particular and the harmonious outcome bespeaks the high opinion in which the organization is held by all sections of the community. We have traveled far since the day when The Negro World was banned as an organ of sedition propaganda and we are very grateful to the present administration for the generous and sympathetic policy pursued. All the same we all mean to pursue our agitation for our rights and liberties and the Negro place in the sun. I would like to suggest to headquarters an idea which I believe would promote closer unity and be of great benefit to the organization generally the idea of dividing up the whole field into sphere or province with the right to hold conferences or convention in which would be discussed questions and matters relating to the mutual welfare of such provinces. Several divisions contiguous to each other could appoint delegates to such conventions which could in turn appoint or elect delegates to the general convention at headquarters. In this way many vexing problems that arise in connection with individual divisions and which are now referred to headquarters could be amicably settled and thus relieve the strain upon the Executive Council at headquarters where owing to the far-sundered nature of the field, the magnitude of the task of attending to the oversight and demands of individual divisions must be immense. Due to this, divisions are pertaining in some places, for the organization is growing to such an extent that even the commissioner cannot cope adequately with the work in the spheres allotted to them. The aim should be to co-ordinate and hold the organization in such a manner that the slightest throb, like a stroke of an electric wire, will pulsate quickly throughout the veins of the world-wide Negro community; Grouped around the Bay of Honduras, the most northerly extension of the Caribbean, are about a dozen divisions all within easy distance of each other and with more or less regular intercommunication. These could be united into one conference or convention to be held in one or other of the towns along the coast say Jalisco, Port Hirios or La Coba, these three being the most central and suitable. Such an arrangement could be carried out wherever possible, and there can be no doubt that it would exercise a considerable amount of influence not only among the divisions concerned, but among Negroes generally in these parts. GEO. B. RILEY, STATE COMMISSIONER IN SPRINGFIELD, MASS GEO. B. RILEY, STATE COMMISSIONER IN SPRINGFIELD, MASS February 23 1922 The Springfield Division of the U. N. A. received the real treat of its life during the past week when Dr. Goo B. Riley, High State Commissioner arrived in for a few days. Dr Riley who had been appointed High Commissioner for Massachusetts, with headquarters in Boston, paid Springfield his first official visit last week, arriving here on Thursday evening. He first held a conference with the officers in the division receiving a report of the condition of the division and also of the field around it. Plans for a general get together meeting were considered. Acting under the advice of his officers, Dr Riley adopted the house-to-house plan of campaign for Friday and Saturday. On this plan he worked hard and it was well toward 10 p.m. on Saturday when he returned to his lodgings. The hall was crowded on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The meeting was called to order by our vice-president, The Lord Huron, who acted in the absence of our president. A beautiful and interesting song service was rendered, after which Dr. Riley was introduced amid great applause. Just at this time the Nation's Anthem of the league was vigorously rendered, putting into the audience all the necessary pop to receive the speaker of the afternoon, Dr. Riley, or, Springfield will in the future term him. The Live Wire Commissione "shaded into his mission with wonder stirring choreography. Full of love for his race and unflinching dedication for the cause of Negro freedom he explained Garveyism as none but Mr. Garvey could answer. He explained the object of the L.N.A. step by step when he called attention to the principle which he analyzed from beginning to end. The audience was no exalted that at times the speaker was unable to succeed. When references to Mr. Garvey were made by the door to the people went wide and cheered. At this meeting our mess meeting was announced for Monday, February 20. Dipity a Npm in members and friends began pouring in and again we had a crowded hall. At this meeting all the corros made when the division was organized were curated. New officers were elected to fill vac- cies and an entirely new conception of the N.P.A was formed in the hearts of the Springfield Division. Though too early to predict a set from the present appearance of things nothing can possibly stop the future success of the division to Springfield. Watch Springfield grow.

Literary Clubs Debate Disarmament Question Rescheduled. "That the Disarmament Conference is Practicable," was debated in the P M B. A. hall last evening by representatives of the two local literary clubs. The meeting began at 9.15. Mr J Macintosh, president of the Dunbar presided. The hall was filled. A group of McIlish students manifested unusual concern in the proceedings. Messrs V Langdon and W H. Duke upheld the affirmative, and Messrs E. A Reid and P Reddie took the negative. The arguments presented by the affirmatives were full of good material but lacked logical treatment, besides, the major part was based only on internal affairs and racial issues, without the inclusion of an effective point of view. However, they made a good showing and won much praise. The negatives had better material and their method of presentation was somewhat effective. Their delivery was exceptional. Mr Reddio was interesting, instructive and inspiring, his thoughts were rich and elegantly expressed. The three judges, Messra, Dudley Bykes and Harris Dodson, and Miss Regina Reid, after a short retirement stated that the judgment was in favor of the negatives. The president spoke kindly of the harmony existing between the two clubs and assured the losers of his heartfelt wishes for greater achievement. Mr E Dan Vaughan moved a vote of thanks to the Dunbar for courtesy extended.

The new Negro is a man of courage and conviction and expects to suffer not only imprisonment but martyrdom if necessary. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and the Doxology. On Thursday and Friday nights field workers were again sent into the several distrats and reported that their meetings were successful as far as the enrolling of members are concerned. The big drive was brought to a close by a monster mass meeting held on the race course on Sunday evening at 4 p.m. Among those on the platform were Commissioner O Mealy president & M Jones, first vice-president R A Williamson second vice-president G T Allen third vice-president H George Lewis and W P Baley. The Black Cross Nurses met in the park to the south of the race course and headed by the band of the team, matched to the platform which was situated in front of the groundstand. The meeting was opened with the singing of From Greenland a key Mountains. Followed by a masterly address by Mr B. M Jones, president of the Kingston Division, who spoke on The Benefits of Co-operation and Unity Among Negroes. The president said, if Negroes were united, there was nothing which could not be accomplished by them. He called upon them to put aside their petty differences and jealousies, and rally to the Red, the Black and the Green. The next speaker was the Hon Hlh Commissioner who gave an enquent address in the forceful manner in which the powers of the U N A He said in part that it was a selfish and bad policy on the part of the big Negroes to keep out of the association because they were enjoying a measure of prosperity and ostensible social freedom, for if the high and mighty did not lift us up, we would drag them down—if they allowed the poison of filthy diseases to percolate through the houses of the poor, death stalks at the palace gates. If we leave to the horrors of ignorance any portion of our race the consequences of ignorance strike us all, and there is no escape. We must all move but we must all move together, for any progress which did not lift all ever lifted any. The third vice-president, Mr Lewis, spoke after the Commissioner, and attacked the subject from a Biblical standpoint. His lecture was forceful inspiring and full of wise sayings. As it was growing dark and it was necessary to march to the hall, the next speaker Mr W F Bailley said that out of consideration for the audience he would say very little, but he urged them to come together for their own salvation if for no other reason. The biology was then sung and an institution was issued to the vast throng to march down headed by the Black Cross Nurses to the Odd Fellows Hall. The secretary then announced that the Vice-president was and required in an increase of membership of 500 REPORTER INTERESTING NEWS FROM THE U. N. I. A. IN CESPEDES, CUBA On Sunday, evening February 12, we held a pleasant and most enjoyable evening in our Labert Hall. The ceremony began at 7:15 p.m with the singing of the opening ode and prayer after which the president Brother I S. Williamson, gave a short but stirring address on the "Necessity of Negroes Sticking Together." The first place on the program was a short address by the vice-president Mr Jos W Baynes, on a street incident that took place just recently to his attending the meeting. A brother by the name of Joe Small accidentally got into collision while walking on one of the sidewalks of this village with a young lady (white) and before he could have offered an apology, which was, in a place like that unnecessary, a police officer and a civilian (both white) confronted him with expressions that cannot be rehearsed, chucked him off the walk, at the same time holding their canes over him, and would have used same had he not offered words of extreme politeness. At his exit they sent him off with these words: "You do—nigger, what right had you on the sidewalk when it occupied by whites: don't you understand you are a nigger?" This scene caused the vice-president to press with all his energy on the members and friends the vital importance of the slumbering Negroes to wake and behold. This was followed by the report of the auditors, Messra, G. C. Neufville and Rich Dunbar. These men having been appointed just a month ago to this post, took the opportunity of their leisure hours in perusing all the books of the association, which remitted the --- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 the upheaval of the dishearten or incompetent work of the executive secretary who before the association took any steps against him was sure to tender his resignation. Great credit and applause were given to the auditors by the hall for the painstaking and minute manner they wont about their work. We hope to have from them the continued dexterity, in the future, thus shown at present. Next came a thrilling recitation by our little Ethiopian Princess Louise, entitled, "Awake. Ye Sons of Africa." This little angel of about seven years old gave us a treat with her far-reaching and distinctive tone, insomuch that I am sure that many ignited with the name of "Africa for the Africans," and soon, and very soon, we shall see and feel them in the line with us. Next was a song by the choir, "Hold the Fort for I Am Coming." Then followed by an address by the lady president, Mrs Evelyn Rawlins (mother of Princess Louise) entitled, "There is Plenty in the Field for Our Women to Do" and with choice language she kept the audience spellbound with the efficacy of her subject. The next on the program was a friendly talk of the founder and treasurer, Mr C McKenzie, with the members, about the happy feelings in the hearts of every one present and absent over the acquirement of a Liberty Hall of our own (rented). Formerly we existed under the sympathy and generosity of the president, B. S. W. who for a whole year gra e the use of his dwelling to the association free of cost, but now that a gleam of sunshine as cast its rays upon us, we caught a blaze, thus enabling us to do what we have done—procured a Hall of Liberty. The entire membership of Cepodes have asked through this channel to offer their grateful feelings to the good president, and wish him continued supply in his storerooms. At the end of this parley an enjoyable evening, came to a close by singing the Ethiopian Anthem, followed by the Doxology after which the chaplain, Mr C H Harrison, dismissed us with the benediction. JOS W BAYNES First Vice-president Cespeda, Cuba THE U. N. L. A. IN GUTHRIE, OKLA. THE U. N. L. A. IN GUTHRIE, OKLA. We are highly enthused after having the encouraging speeches made by Dr C. N Granderson the field representative for the U. N. I A. We were much related to hear such a powerful man in his impressive manner of demonstrating to our people the real principles which this great and noble movement stands for. Dr Granderson was with us January 7 and 8 and spoke on "Negro Leadership" and we hope to have him come again not only him we need others to call by and stop, for we are in the struggle for existence at the present time. There are many Judasus here, as there are everywhere although we are doing well under the adverse circumstances. The financial depression is having a great deal to do with the prosperity of our division and causing so much delinquency among our members. We are a bunch of determined workers out here and are hoping to capture this section of the country. The Baptist State Board met here January 6 and 7, formed a resolution made a press report to send out over the State against the U N L A. The leading eleventh of the State convention seems to be lining up against us in this great struggle for liberty, and that vary class of men who have hood-winked our race for all these many years have nothing to offer for the redeeming of a people who are down-holden. We have grown weary of living under sorfdom, and under this present age of the world our children are being educated and turned out upon the streets without an aim or object to view and, this being a new era of time we find a new Negro with higher aims in life, and why not every Negro boost and foster the movement that would better the conditions of our race. Every liberty loving Negro believes and stands for the solidarity of the Negro people of the world. And they that do not are blind. There is no account given of any man in the last three thousand years who has come on the scene and has gotten the attention of the world and mobilized the forces in four years' time to a greater extent than Mr Garvey has done through organization. Then if he is able to attract the attention of the world, he is able to do greater things for the race. I fear there is a jealousy among our American Negro leaders, as Mr Garvey is a West Indian. The American Negro has slept too long and Mr Garvey seeing that the time was ripe to bring about an organization came on the scene and took advantage of the opportunity. Many say this is not the time. God will bring about the change. Can we say knowingly that God is not giving us a change? When you throw a stone in a bunch of dogs the ones you hit will holler. So it is with nations. They are hollowing because they are hit and hate to release their hold. So it was with Pharah when Moses went down in Egypt. Pharah did not want to release his hold, but he had to let go. So it is with us, we are going to go to success with the tenacious vim and bold courage that God gives to all men and nations. So you politicians and preachers of today who are lurking on the way, you had better get in the ranks or you will be reviewed by the great procession of heroes of this race and counted among those that have made no history for your people. Ultimately we will succeed, for we are working hard and we are clamoring for our place in this world as all other races have done. HIGH COMMISSIONER, MR. E. V. HORALES, AT SAN MANUEL, CUBA HIGH COMMISSIONER, MR. E. V. HORALES, AT SAN MANUEL, CUBA Friday, February 8, 1922. The Ligh Commissioner, Mr E. V Moralea, arrived here by train from Chaparra at 3 o'clock on Friday, February 1. He was met at the railway station by the treasurer of the division, Mr W B. Robinson, and Mr A. A. Watkia, the vice-president, and was conducted to the home of the executive secretary, the Rev D. E. Ewart, where he will remain and be cared for during his stay among us. From here he will visit the surrounding divisions, such as Delicias Chaparra and Puerta Padre. On Friday, immediately after his arrival, he visited the home of the president, who has been confined to his home for some time now through illness. At half-past seven oclock in the evening a mass meeting was conducted in the hall. A hymn "Pride, My Soul the King of Heaven" was first sung by the audience before the meeting was declared open, in order to give time to those who were outside to come in and take their seats. The regular meeting began with singing the National Ode and prayer. The executive secretary in a few and brief remarks, introduced the High Commissioner to the audience who in reply thanked the secretary and proceeded to address his hearers in Spanish and English. His remarks were very inspiring and edifying. A new phase of light is being opened up among us as a race as he explained the meaning and uses of sticking to the U N I A. It is noteworthy to remark that it was a mixed gathering of both English and Spanish speaking peoples, and everyone heard in his own tongue the wonderful works of Garveyism The meeting came to a close by singing the Ethiopian anthem, after which the benediction was pronounced. We are glad to state that both members and friends went away feeling that quite an enjoyable evening was spent in Liberty Hall. I have the honor to be Your obedient servant D. E. EWART. Executive Secretary, Fan Manuel No 144, Oriente, Cuba. LOUISIANA FIRMLY BEHIND MARCUS GARVEY The cause of the L. N. I. A in Louisiana is safe. Attack after attack by jealous Negroes may be launched against our energetic chief, Hon Marcus Garvey, but the Negroes of Louisiana have declared themselves determine to stand by and for him because they believe he is honest. Worth while men have been attacked, defamed and humiliated since the first of his kind came forth thus we are not surprised or daunted at the tribulations of the Hon Marcus Garvey. Without such trials he could not, and would not, prove his worth, his strength nor his claim to fame and place in the hearts of his people. Night brings out the stars. Adversity is the true acid test and not absolute ease and non-resistance. Wherever genius is there envy rears its head. Proof of the fact that the efforts of Hon Marcus Garvey are winning the world is evidenced by the impetus he has given to Negro enterprises. We Blacks down here are fast learning to believe in ourselves and each other. We are learning to listen and follow worthy leaders. We believe in the doctrines of the U N A. We have impelled faith in Hon Marcus Garvey. If Garvey was a half baked leader who allowed others to lead him enemies in his own race would not be envious of his success. But because he is a man's man and a man who thinks for himself these human wolves continually attack him. Fools are they not to know that instead of injuring their ears, they are helping it. Instead of making enemies for him they increase his friends. The Garvey movement, as the Negro critics are pleased to characterize the L.N.A. is stronger today than ever, and its strength increases day by day. Sink or swim survive or perish we are with Marcus Garvey and will follow him until he realizes his plans for the uplifting of the sons and daughters of Ethiopia. THOR W.

Maylor and Mr J. E. Sullivan of the Havana Division, and called upon Mr Maylor to address the audience. His topic was of Irish liberty. He spoke for nearly three-quarters of an hour, impressing the members to unite as one people. He said if at any time he should be found disloyal to the cause he must be put to death, as his whole heart and soul are for nothing but the redemption of Africa. He spoke inspiringly of Negro leaders in the past and showed where there is no impossibility that there should not be men of the same quality in the race today—such men as Antonio Macon, Tougiat Lowerture, Frederick Douglass, and bibera. He displayed great cartoonish skill with his drawings. lowed an address by Mr. J. E. Sullivan. He said that ar he looked around and saw the charter he felt proud to see that another link is added to the chain. If the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world could mite together we would turn the world around. He further said that he as an old soldier never thinks of death but victory, and that is to be the spirit of the Negro. With such a spirit we are sure to conquer. He spoke of the riches of Africa and encouraged the members to press on and victory must be ours. He con-cluded urging unity among Negroes. Next was an address by Mr. W. Tennyson, secretary, on "Perseverance," as that is the only road that leads to victory. The chairman then thanked all visitors and friends for their appearance and closed the meeting at 10 p.m. with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem. Jamaica, B. W. I. Feb. 8, 1922. Commissioner O'Meally paid a flying visit to the Morant Bay Division to attend a meeting, and explain the true facts relative to the arrest of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. He came over by mail coach, and was well received by the officers and members. The commissioner was in fine form, and explained in a satisfactory manner the events which led up to the arrest of our noble leader. The High Commissioner, Mr O'Meally, Mr S. M. Jones, President; U A Lou Grant, Treasurer, and Mrs Adelaide Walker, Lady President of the Kingston Division, journeyed over in the motor car of Mr. Cleveland A.

After this rousing address by the Lady President, Mr. Thompson, President of the Golden Grove Division, then called upon the high Commissioner to address the audience. The commissioner gave a historical and scriptural address. He drew back the curtain at time, and took his audience with him into the misty past of prohistoric ages when black men peopleled the earth. He pictured the civilization of Egypt and of Ethiopia, and the greatness of the ancient Negroes, and the days when subject races paid homage to the Negro. He told of the natural antipathy which exists today between the races, and showed that even men who were considered religious were guilty of racial prejudice. He told them to take heart and courage, that they had nothing to be ashamed of, that their sun was rising from behold the horizon, where it had hidden itself for thousands of years, but that the day had now come when Ethiopia should stretch forth her hands unto God.

Meeting in Support of Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, Brands Lynching as Brutal, Cannibalistic and Barbaric The Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which Marcus Garvey is President-General, sprung a surprise on an audience of nearly 700 white and colored people in the Zion M. E. Church on the 50th inst. The meeting in question was staged under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Mr. Wm. Pickens was the speaker of the evening. The purpose being to raise funds to support the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, all colored organizations, clubs and churches were cordially invited. The most conspicuous organization was the Universal Negro Improvement Association, whose Black Cross Nurses and Legions seated in the center of the church received much inspection from the critics. Every member of this organization, 75 in number, wore a button bearing the colors of Red, Black and Green. Mr. Wm. Pickens, the principal speaker, did justice to the occasion and lived up to the reputation of an orator, but the citizens of Wilmington, especially the whites, are still pondering over the eloquent address of the Hon. S. A. Haynes, U. N. L. A. State Commissioner. Because the white press did not do justice to this speaker, the writer thinks it his duty to give to the Negro World for the benefit of members of the association the full text of Mr. Haynes' address. The respect paid to the officer by the members of the organization had its effect upon both white and colored. On rising to speak all the members of the organization at the signal of one of the Legions saluted, the speaker returning the salute. Then came a surprise. Instead of speaking at length on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and asking financial assistance to put it through, the little man launched out in a higher world of thought and took his coat amid the ringing applause and confusion of the audience. The following is the address of the State Commissioner in full: "Mr. Chairman Worthy Citizens of the city of Willington, Distinguished Men and Women of the Negro Race, Ladies and Gentlemen: "I greet you in the name of liberty. I am glad to be here. I always feel honored when called upon to speak in the interest of my race. "As one of the accredited representatives of the 400 million Negroes of the world in the capacity of Commissioner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I am here to say that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has spared no efforts to bring about the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill as a law. We have already forwarded to Congress our sentiments on the matter and we appreciate very much the splendid efforts the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is also making to bring about the passage of the bill as a law. "As a loyal member of the Negro race, as a member of the great human family, and as Commissioner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it is my duty to voice my protest against one of the most cannibalistic acts that has stained the pages of civilization for quite a number of years. I refer to that barbaric custom known as lynching. (Applause.) Ladies and gentlemen, lynching is more than a crime (applause), it is a sin against the Divine Master, and any government that allows its citizens to practice it upon innocent men and women as a pastime is guilty of the most brutal crime in all history. (Loud applause.) "We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association hope that the rousing support we in America are giving to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill will not only rouse the government and people of this country to their sense of duty, not only cause them to think and act accordingly, but we sincerely hope and trust that the governments and peoples of the nations of Europe will carefully analyse the seriousness of it, and release our brothers and sisters in Africa who at this very hour are laboring and dying before the whip and bullets of oppression from the chains of slavery. (Applause.) The time has come when the Negro people of the world must strike out for a higher, a more material realm. A realm where liberty, justice and freedom shall be there to enjoy. To reach this realm we must bring pressure to bear upon the governments of the world who oppress and enslave us, as well as upon individual, white and coloured, who strengthen the hands of such oppressors. The most fruitful, the most constant pressure of the age is the pressure of organization. (Appeals). Let our organises ourselves under one standard. Let us publishes our poetry, devilish and sage. (Appeals). Let us bind ourselves together in one gigantic organisation for the political, industrial, commercial, social and religious emancipation of our race. Love to the world a government organised and controlled by Negroes (organises) a government commanding social and construction. Hope in the world a government organised and controlled by Negroes (organises) a government commanding social and construction. Hope in the world a government organised and controlled by Negroes (organises) a government commanding social and construction. Hope in the world a government organised and controlled by Negroes (organises) a government commanding social and construction. plausus.) Let us act and prove to the world that we are a race of true men and women. "Accomplish these things then governments and races will respect and admire you for what you are, and lynching and burning, peonage and segregation, Jim-crowism and discrimination shall be but caskots (or our oppressors.) (Loud applause.) Well done, Marcus Garvey Bring every young man of the Negro race to their sense of duty as a man and your program will go over the top. Three cheers for Commissioner Haynes.

HOLDS ROUSING MEETING On Saturday evening, February 4, the Guaro Division No. 172 held a special mass meeting. We had as visitors Prof Geo. Alexander, Madame Alexander and Mr J White from the New York local. The officers and members, hearing that these parties would speak in Liberty Hall, did not hesitate to spread the news. At 7 p. m. the hall was filled not only of officers and members but of visitors, all being anxious to hear these distinguished persons at 8 p. m. The meeting began in its usual way by the singing of the ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains." During the singing of this ode the three visitors were welcomed to the hall by our chaplain, Mr. J. Thompson. After the reading of scripture lesson from Psalms 86, and prayer by the chaplain, our president, who acted as chairman, introduced Mr. J. White to the audience as the first speaker. This young speaker based his topic on "Get Organized." In his short but inspiring speech he impressed on persons who were not yet members to get organised. But in getting organised all should be careful in what organisation they link themselves and should also be careful to know who are the leaders. He therefore urged that there's but one great and racial organization and that is the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its leader the Hon. Marcus Garvey. After these words of great encouragement he then took his seat amidst great cheers. Next was a solo by the Misses Jones and Bailey, entitled "Welcome to the Field." This was encored. The next speaker was Madame Alexander, who was welcomed to the platform with loud cheers. On rising, she said: Mr. President, Vice-President, Officers and Members of the Guaro Division. Greetings—I am much pleased to be among you tonight and especially in our Liberty Hall. I say our Liberty Hall because whether it may be in New York, Africa, Central America or any place over the world, I claim Liberty Hall to be mine. I thank you for your presence tonight, hence I am going to inform you something about the New York division, its Liberty Hall and the objects of the U. N. I. A. Our Liberty Hall of New York occupies two blocks and has a seating capacity of over 80,000. At every general business night there are prevent at least from five to six thousand members. We have also Legion men, Black Cross Nurses and Motor Corps, and today the organization is 100 per cent stronger than when it first started. Hence you see no enemies; no critics can harm this movement, and all I want you of this movement, and all I want you of this movement, to do so World Out." This fight is our put to use. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 killed, and we may have to suffer many other sufferings, but let us still hold on, because without these things there can be no Redemption of Africa. After a long and inspiring speech she then took her seat amidst shouts and choirs from the audience. Next was hymn 540, entitled 'Saviour, Blessed Saviour'. The next speaker introduced was Professor Alexander He also on rising, thanked the audience for the way they have turned out, especially the Black Cross Nurse. In his speech Professor Alexander showed where the fight is now on. And the Universal Negro Improvement Association needs men and more men. It needs men who will dare even their lives for this cause. It also needs none but true, honest and brave men. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour all were still anxious and eager to hear some more words of encouragement from the young professor. After a speech of more than an hour he then took his seat. The president, after giving gratitude to the strangers for their visit, brought the meeting to a close, after the singing of the National Anthem followed by the recessional hymn and prayer by the chaplain.

L A IN JEFFERSON PARK, NEWPORT NEWS. VA. I desire to make a full and true report about the newly formed chapter that has been organized by Dr. B. B Fairleough, representative and field worker from the parent body of the U N I A. and A C. L. set apart on the 14th day of November, 1921, regardless of the heavy and cold weather that has been prevailing in Newport News, and to the vast quantities of Negroes who are standing as stumbling blocks of the U N I A. in Newport Nwa. In spite of all such things this chapter was formed for the benefit of four hundred million Negroes who have been kept in dariness for three hundred years in the U S A. and two hundred and fifty years in the B W I and said chapter shall rally to the call of the four hundred million Negroes who must redeem their land. Africa, for the Africans. I further best to state that after the singing or the opening ode of the U N I. A. the president, Hon. Walter McFadgen, made the opening address, welcoming every one to Liberty Hall, and his report he spoke very highly of Representative Dr B B Farelough and his staff of officers, who assisted him in bringing the chapter to what it is at the present time. Some masterful selections were rendered by the choir under the directorship of Prof. R L Brown, and then the first speaker of the evening, the honorary president of No. 6 Division of Newport Newa, the Rev Dr E E. Godfrey, made a striking appeal that Negroes must respect themselves. This was met with great applaus. The next speaker was Rev Atkinson, chapla- speaker of the Jefferson Park Chapter who made a few kind remarks on the U N I A. At this point the president of the Jefferson Park Chapter introduced Dr B. Fairlough, representative of the I N I A and A. C L. who was met with great applause. The speaker took for his subject. And when I see the blood I will pass over you." This was one of the most powerful eloquent and distinct addresses that has ever been made in Newport News, and it awept over the audience like a great hurricane. Such a subject of this nature ought to stop Negroes from being traitors to their race, especially for the cause of Africa. Having other duties to perform the speaker was forced to curtail his address. Then followed a beautiful solo entitled, "The Uncloudy Day," by Mrs. Carrie Smith, assisted by the choir and accompanied by the organ, which was masterfully played by Mrs. Alice Brown. At this juncture the various representatives from the divisions and chapters, with their Logions and Black Cross Nurses, gathered around to witness one of the most impressive ceremonies that has ever been staged in Newport News when Dr. B. B. Fairclough unveiled the charter, No. $2, under the colors of the Red, Black and Green. At this point the officers of the chapter were installed in their various positions for the term of three years, according to the laws of the association. The officers installed were as follows: Mr. Walter McFadgen, president, Mr. Dominick Revera, first vice-president, Mr. Woodson, second vice-president; Mr. Rylander, general secretary; Mr. R. L. Brown, treasurer; Rev Atkinson, chaplain; Mra. Carrie Smith, assistant secretary, Mra. Isabel, lady resident; Mra. Woodson, first vice-president. This will inform you and the administrator that the representative that was sent to the State of Virginia was a well picked one, and if we can find men of the caliber of Dr. B. B. Fairclough the work of the organization would go over the top earlier than is expected. We hall Dr. Fairclough and we hope that he will be spared to further uphold the hands of his chief and the four hundred million Negroes the world over. 8211 Madison Avenue. Newport News, Va.

SUBJECTS ARITHMETIC BOOKKEEPING ENGLISH DICTATION PENMANSHIP AIMS AND OBJECTS OF THE U. N. I. A. HIGH COMMISSIONER U. S. ROBINSON DELIVERS A WONDERFUL SPEECH TO THE CAMILLA DIVISION NO. 232, PELHAM, GA. On Sunday, February 12, 1922, the Camilla Division held a meeting at the Second Baptist Church. The meeting was opened by singing the oda, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains", prayer by the congregation, song, Glory, Glory Hallemiah. Then Rev O. C Kelley, our local organizer preached a wonderful sermon for the U N. I. A. Too much praise cannot be given him, being a minister, of the gospel, and true to the U N. I. A., always ready and willing to do something for the cause. Commissioner U B Robinson spoke as follows on the subject, "Marcus Garvey the Dreamer" The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the greatest organization that has ever been established for the interest of the colored race. I find that you are still loyal to the Red, Black and Green. That, I am, indeed, glad to see. Even if the Hon. Marcus Garvey should die this movement will still go on. The 'U N I A came upon the scene four years ago Hon. Marcus Garvey began preaching the unification and now it is the greatest Negro organization in the land. The destiny of the Negro lives within the Negro. Dr Du Bois says Marcus Garvey is a dreamer. I say if he is a dreamer let him dream always God is leading him on The U N I A is saying to God. If Hon Marcus Garvey is a dreamer let him dream always Dream on Garvey Dream on Mr Garvey dream such a dream that the U N I A, which came upon the scene and has united millions of Negroes, may be able to unite more Dream on that the Negroes may be protected everywhere God is leading the man on We know that no man would be able to do such work unless God was with him We are separated, we need to stick together Together we stand divided we fail The U N I A does not teach you to be disloyal to any government, but it teaches you the redemption of Africa our motherland, and to be loyal to your race. "Dream on. Mr Garvey until the Negro wakes up everywhere." No Negro wants social equality with Native social rights. Organize and get together God has sent us a man to teach us to unite. I would not be here if I had not felt your care. I told Mr Garvey to send me—for something needs to be done, and if I go I would do all I could, for I am trusting in the Lord. If they put me in jail and there be one Negro in there I would organize him. The L. N. I A teaches you that the Negroes will never be anything until they possess strong power not until they will we be respected. We have a home in Africa that land was given us. The time has come for us to stretch forth our hands. I am glad I am a L N I A member. How can you men and women who are not members, stay out? If we want lib- erty we must strive for it. The L N I A teaches men everywhere. Dream on Garvey' Dream on. If you are a Christian you should as. Dream On for God is able to help us to achieve the victory. The U. N. L. A is churchlike. Dream on Mr. Garvey until every man sees it as you see. Dream on until every Negro is a member of the U. N. L. A. Dream on until the U. N. L. A. spreads from pole to pole. Dream on until Africa shall be free. Dream on until—dream on until we have ships enough to carry us across the sea. Dream on until every Negro can say. "Free at last. Free at last." If he is a dreamer we pray to God that he dreams always. Dream on, Mr. Garvey—dream." This eloquent speech made a profound impression on the audience. A. N. WILLIFORD. Secretary-General COLON CHAPTER 240, U. N. L A., COLON, R. P. On the above date Mr T. B Gordon, from the London Division, paid the above named chapter a visit and delivered a most stirring address. His subject was 'The Land of Africa.' Long before the time for the opening of this meeting people were coming from every nook and corner of Colon to listen to this brilliant speaker of the U N L A. Seated on the rostrum were the president of Colon Chapter No. 240, Mr J H Beymour his vice-president, Mr Hubert Gittin and Mr Ruben Colleymore and our lady president Mrs Rose Campbell, also our worthy visitor Mr B. Gordon Precisely at 7 45 p m President I H Seymour sounded, his gavel and called the audience to order by opening the meeting with the National Anthem of Ethiopia. Thou Land of Our Father." when voices could be beard two blocks from our hall Then followed the U N I A. prayer The president then introduced the man of the hour, Mr T H Gordon The speaker took up his subject "The Land of Africa." He spoke for an hour and a half on his subject He kept every man, woman, boy and girl spellbound. He told them of the good work that the U N I A is doing in London and in Bermuda. B W I He also told of his travel abroad in the interest of this grand movement of the U N I A. He was listened to with rapt attention and from his lecture I am sure those who have heard him can really say "J. B. Gordon is a Garveyite to his backbone." These are the men the U N I A wants, men like J. H. Seymour T B. Gordon, who will go anywhere and everywhere and when the doctrine of the four hundred million Negroes. He said that when he looked at our president of the Colon Chapter he could just see that J H Seymour is one of the U N I A a real workers, he could see nothing else in him but earnestness. But he hoped the time is not far when he shall meet him on the battle plains of Africa, defending the rights of his mother land. The president then arose and gave the speaker thanks for his visit to the Colon Chapter No. 240 of the U N. L. A amid thunderous applause and cries of "Africa' Africa" and shouts of "Hail to the HQN. Marcus Garvey and the U N I A and its allied corporation". Thus a wonderful meeting was brought to a close with the anthem and praise at 11 p.m. I am, fraternally yours, DUDLEY PRESCOTT.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES ARE ENTERTAINED BY OAKLAND, CAL. U. N. I. A. AT COMMUNITY HOUSE The Universal Negro Improvement Association was the dignified host to the recent colored graduates from Oakland's High schools, Friday, February 3, at the beautiful Community House, where a very interesting program was rendered and a most delightful evening enjoyed. Mr John W. Fowler, chairman of the committee on arrangements, deserves much praise and credit for the splendid program arranged and the manner in which it was conducted. A splendid opportunity was given the parents and the younger set to become better acquainted with the aims and objects of this wonderful organization. The musical numbers were particularly good, revealing a wealth of talent awaiting future development and culture. Dainty refreshments were served and dancing was a popular diversion of many. Graduates present were Ether Smith and Edgar Cook, of Oakland High; Mildred Pankey of Prescott Junior High, Charles Porter, Willettie Martin, Harold Summers and William Griffin of Technical High. The program was opened with the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" by the audience. The official prayer, "God of the Right," etc. was led by Arthur B. Gray, followed by the selection, "Where He Leads Me." Will Follow. The graduates were then introduced in a body by the Master of Ceremonies, Mr. John W. Fowler. Attorney H. L. Richardson, Commanding M. of the First Battalion, African Legion, was then introduced, and responded with the congratulatory address. His remarks were filled with logic, inspiration and encouragement. Having recently risen from the ranks himself, he was well equipped with advice that had been sensed with experience. Particularly did he emphasize the value of perseverance and persistence in their chosen vocation. His splendid address was concluded by a ringing tribute to parental pride and love that should "all times be respected and remembered." Miss Mildred Pankey, valedictorian of Prescott Junior High, then played a very sweet and soft piano selection entitled, "The Japanese Sunset." Her contribution received applause. A paper entitled "The Value of Education" was then read by Edgar Cook of Oakland High, which told very decisively the vital need of mental training and development. Miss Clara Porter, the possessor of a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice, sang The Indian Love Song" to the evident satisfaction of all, followed by an encore "All For You." One of the stellar numbers of the evening was the wonderful address of Miss Eather Smith. Miss Smith is a splendid speaker has an eloquent emphasis and a fluent delivery. Her essay took first prize among a series of twenty-one in her class. The subject taken was "Educating the Negro in the South." It contained a cruel revelation of injustice done our race below the Mason-Dixon line. Much was told of the terrible handicaps suffered after the Civil War and that even now three times the amount allotted the colored pupils is given the white scholars. The interesting address terminated as she demanded an equal consideration for all citizens, black or white, declaring that no nation could exist half slaves and half free, mentally or physically Madame Agnes Nelson, "the Western Nightingale," and the official organist for the Oakland Division, U. N. I. A. generously contributed a very melodious selection entitled, "At Twilight," which was vociferously applauded. Her appreciation was a pretty encore, "Allah's Holiday" Madame Nelson not only is a charming vocalist, but is also her own accompanist and is mistress supreme of either Mr C. E. Ware, candidate for Assemblyman from the 88th Assembly district. Republican primary, has the distinction of being a candidate of the people's choice, no enemies, and everybody's friend. His remarks to the people are inspiring, inspiring, compelling and entertaining. Mr. Ware is a speaker of whom the race can feel just proud as a representative of their interests. He is a man of courage and integrity and thoroughly qualified for the position to which he impresses. The family of Dr W. D. Wilson are delightfully entertaining musicians. Their "orchestra" consists of piano, played by the mother; cornet, played by William, the oldest son; saxophone, played by Edward, the second son, and the violin, played by Clay, the youngest boy. Their rendition was a musical treat and a pleasing novelty. Mr. T. E. Smith, vice-president of the Oakland branch, U. N. L. A., paid a tribute of honor and respect to the esteemed graduates, and then proceeded to explain in terms of simplicity and understanding the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This address was to the organization of the revelations of this world-wide movement were vividly portrayed, and the wonderful future that it is planning for the coming generation was thoroughly outlined. Many being present who had not read the stirring National Anthem, they were amazed and astounded at its unusual harmony and expression. It is a composition of which the Negro can can, justly feel proud. Madara Jinnata Cole-Lard represent- lated the ladies' branch of the Black Nuns. Nurse, and, very, appropriately, applauded, in their behalf. THE U. N. I. A. TRUCK QUICK DELIVERY LIGHT AND HEAVY HAULING ORDERS RECEIVE PROMPT ATTENTION Phone Harlem 2577 TWO THIRD MADE DOWNTOWN DAILY ALPHONSO JONES things pleasant and agreeable to his guests of which he was immensely proud and happy—A. B. G., California Voice, Oakland, Cal. HON. E. V. MORALES, HIGH COMMISSIONER TO CUBA, VISITS SANTIAGO DIV. 194 On Sunday, January 12, our high commissioner arrived in this city. He was met at the railway station by the president of the division, the captain of Legions and six other members, as also the second lieutenant of the Legona. He spent four days with us trying to straighten up divisional business, as also two days extra putting through the translation of our constitution for the approval of the provincial Governor. Let me here state that it is an undoubted fact that no man who has taken up the work of the U. N. L. A. would be able to carry it through in Cuba as our present high commissioner. He ome to us in a distressed condition due from a severe attack of sickness which befell him a fortnight ago while laboring in "amaguay. Nevertheless he is on the path to recovery. At 5 p. m. he was escorted to our provisional Liberty Hall by Capt. Rudolf Brown of the Legona. He was awaited by an anxious crowd at our hall with a squad of Legions under command of Leut. W. A. Rose, who had his men equipped for the purpose, as also 2d Leut. Nath. A. McCatty. As the commissioner entered the hall the audience arose and sang Ethiopia's national air, after which the president-commander announced the opening ode, after the singing. The president, after a brief introductory address, introduced the high commissioner to the audience. He then asked the honored guest to listen for a while to a short program of recitations and of music, after which the executive secretary, Mr H. Stonewall Jackson, read a reception address to the welcomed guest. The high commissiter relied su- sitable. After the singing of an anthem the collection was taken, which yielded $8.24$. I must here mention that the high commissioner had his work cut out for him in Santiago division, as he for six days had to be hard pressed for the cause of Africa's freedom and the progress of the fallen race of Ethiopia. The president, after expressing to the high commissioner in no mean way of our thoughtfulness of him and the convention, then asked the commissioner to address the audience, after which amidst great applauses our honored guest again to address the crowded hall. He first spoke in English, telling of his troublesome experience when on his way to the convention. He also gave us some gleanings from the convention and afterwards told of his express mission to Santiago, among other duties. He was greatly applauded. He then gave notice to the participants of some constitutional litigation as represented to the high executive council to be present on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. to investigate and settle their complaints and appeals, etc. This was no 12 05 n. m. on Monday morning. The meeting then closed to meet again at 8 p.m. but on account of unforeseen misunderstandings the meeting did not begin until 9:05 p.m. on Monday night. However, this did not retard the progress of our meeting in any way, as the people were too soiling to see and listen to the commissioner; they waited patiently. The president opened the meeting as usual, after which he asked the commissioner to address the house. He spoke at length in Spanish for about two hours, after which the Cubans applauded him voicelessly. They showed a signal proof of their high appreciation and esteem of our high commissioner. He afterwards addressed the English-speaking, after which the announcement was given by the secretary for a concert in aid of the expenses incurred during the business stay of our commissioner, to be given on Tuesday night. This was now 12:10 a. m. on Tuesday. At 9 p. m. on Tuesday, night our concert began. Although it was a fair day, at least a very dry day, yet only a faithful few of 28 people could see their way to patronize us. Special mention must be made of Master McCatty's recitations. The task is to keep Santiago Division going in a successful manner. However, it is really due to the real dead conditions prevailing in Santiago (financially). It is no child's play to raise money in these divisions, especially in the cities. Nevertheless we had a fine time, and we showed our high appreciation to our Commissioner by making him feel happy despite his sufferings from sickness. A solo, rendered by Nurse Delphynze Duncan, entitled "Whispering Hope," certainly brought joy to the heart of the Commissioner, which he could not resist from explaining. Also two cornet and voice duets by Messra. Levi Green and Sergt. John Hanson of the Leightons, and our mighty "Big Gun" of five Masters, Master Bailey, and Master Rose with their recitations. Their shails are dropping in the heart of Africa, which we figure is about 7,000 milts. "Watch the Little Garveya." Our concert was great, and brought to close 9 18, in sharp. Wednesday our High Commissioner was kept busy getting our by-laws in order for the signature of the Provincial Governor. I can assure the members that this is no mean job for any man who does not have true Garveya. guilty and sentenced constitutionally, as he started his appeal by misleading statements which were refuted by three or more of the members who we figure is about 7,000 milts. "Watch the Little Garveya." Our concert was great, and brought to close 9 18, in sharp. Wednesday this they did two by four, then ing 1 o'clock exactly on Thursday morning. Mr. O'Brien pleased guilty of taking the goods that he was accused of, but tried to show that he had a right to them, which he really did no. have. Our President-General would have no welcome task if he was here as a Commission to organize Cuba, as regards to the people he has to deal with. Nevertheless, with the untiring seek and true heartlessness, with the imbued spirit of Garveyism our Commissioner is "Winning As He Goes," for the cause. On Wednesday night our business meeting was begun. Although it rained just at 8 o'clock, yet our hair was crowded. Faces that were never seen in Santiago betra were present that night. Why? They came to hear the various charges, investigations and trials that were preferred by different personages of our division. The meeting, after being opened in the usual way, was called to order by the High Commission (who was the presiding judge). The first was a charge made against Division 16, as per letter written and caused to be written and signed by Dr. Hubert Lelly, Dr. Samuel Thomas, Dr. Dave Davidson (all doctors). In letter they not only charged the division falsely but made statements which were false and utterly untrue, which are direct criminal libel against individuals, especially that of our most respected Lady President, Miss C. G. Waters. In that statement runs, "She has taken the account of her money." The member of the committee without and did spend it for her own use." Those gentlemen who signed this statement failed to bring evidence even to support their statement, nor could they call even a single person as witness. Meanwhile the lady's statement tolling that the sum of $30 in question as involved to be the amount expended for her use, was an amount spent in purchasing a souvenir present to the Hon Marcus Garvey on his visit to us in March, 1921. When asked by the presiding officer if she has any support or witness to souvenir being presented to Hon. Marcus Garvey as an appreciation to their leader of the Negro cause from Santiago division, the whole house full of members rose in support and gave evidence of the fact that made in the lady's statement and further stated that the then president, who has never left the island, sanctioned the money be expended for the purchase of this souvenir, as also other executive officers of the administration; as also the signatures of some of the members to the addresses and souvenir being given in the presence of some other 12 to 20 members. This was witnessed by and decided by the house that the statement as shown was false and malicious. The presiding judge therefore announced to the three men their failure in proving their charge against the lady president, and the seriousness of a criminal charger (if laid against them) in the law courts, etc. He then denounced their actions strongly and had advised them to be careful how they tamper with respectable people's characters, as through their publications, orally and their letter of false statement to the High Executive Council, U N I A. & A. C L, the lady's character has been blighted, as he (the Commissioner) heard this scandal up in Camaguey. Over in Cayo Mambbl, on hearing the decision, Brother Sonor Dolu moved and seconded by Brother Sonor Machado that the brothers who are members of this division be suspended for three months, as per U N L A. Constitution, Article III, Sec. 20. This was carried by the house, and also that other divisions be no-filed of these traitors and to beware of them. It was also moved by the same brother and seconded by the next brother that in view of the fact that as per the letter bearing charges on the division and individuals the first three have proven failures, that the remaining charges as stated in said letter be not allowed. This motion was carried unanimously, not even the complainants opposing it. All they did was to shamefully depart from the hall. Through this medium, will divisions in Cuba and the universe please note and guard against such characters. The next was an appeal from the desiderate Board against Mr. Joseph E. O'Brien re three charges wherein he was tried and found NOTICE! Black Cross Nurses of all Divisions are requested to organize in full strength, so they may send a delegate to the August Convention.

Thanking for your past patronage and helping you will continue to do your bit towards the guilty and sentence constitutionally, but as he started his appeal by misleading statements which were refuted by three or more of the members who witnessed the cause of his accusations, he became a bit boisterous, and the general house was willing to depart. This they did two by two, the hour being 1 o'clock exactly on Thursday morning. Mr. O'Brien pleased guilty of taking away the goods that he was accused of, but tried to show that he had a right to tham, which he really did not have. Thanks to the uniting actions of the High Commissioner in handling the charges, and his courtesy, a hazardous task was completed. We need many more Morales. He certainly has true Garveyism. May he always be at our call. He in part told us in his address that he has pledged himself to obey his leader in all things, but that it is impossible for him to remain two tails at each division and to visit each division month, at there are unier his jurisdiction, divisions, and only thirty-one days in the month. In all things possible, even at detriment and risk, providing it will be for the uplift of the Negro race and for the cause of the Red, Black and Green. Morales will obey. He then exhorted us as loyal members, as New Negroes, to stand and support the President-General. He is fighting for us all and our most loyal support is to give liberally to all the causes, such as the B. S. L. Co., the African Redemption Fund, Liberian Loan, and ourselves to keep up our division by paying our dues regularly, and by being courteous to each other help one another and keep together. His and our only prayer to Almighty God should be for the unity of four hundred millions. Thus our victory will be won. The collections were as follows: Sunday, $1.14; Monday, $5.50; Tuesday concert, $7.23; Wednesday, $1.15. May God bless our Hon. Leader and guide our High Commissioner! GAMBOA, PANAMA, U. N. L. A. DOES NOT BELIEVE MARCUS GARVEY WOULD COMMIT ANY OFFENSE AGAINST LAW AND ORDER GAMBOA, PANAMA, U. N. L. A. DOES NOT BELIEVE MARCUS GARVEY WOULD COMMIT ANY OFFENSE AGAINST LAW AND ORDER Feb. 2 1922. Father of The Negro World —Wesleyan it has come to the knowledge of the Gambon Branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that the President General of this most grand organization (the Hon. Marcos Garvey) was arrested for using the mails to defraud, and whereas this information has brought pain to our hearts but in no way dampened our faith in our leader, well knowing that His Excellency would not knowingly commit any offense against law and order, and whereas it seems to us that his arrest has been inspired by the Negro enemies of the U. N. I. A. with progress in advertising to the world that is incapable of doing anything properly, thereby setting confusion in the minds of its members and scaring away intended membership, with a view to the destruction of the only world-wide movement of Negroes which is tending forcibly to the emancipation of Africa; Be it resolved, That the Gambon division, Charter No. 5, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, in solumn assembly, do hereby extend to His Excellency the Hon. Marous Garvey his wholehearted support in this his hour of trial, and further pledges itself to continue in the forward march of this grand and world-wide movement, and further touch to stand solidly behind him in all matters and things affecting the U. N I. A. and its allied branches, caring not what may be the outcome of the present persecution. Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Secretary General for presentation to His Excellency the Honorable Marous Garvey. GAMBOA DIVISION No. 8. U N L. A. & A C LEAGUE. P. G. Williams, General Secretary. HIGH COMMISSIONER VISITS SAN MANUEL, CUBA, U. N. L. A. Feb. 4, 1922. On Saturday morning, the 4th inst. the High Commissioner left San Manual by the early morning train for Chaparra to see the executive officers of the division in order to arrange for a mass meeting on Sunday, the 5th inst. and other business in connection with the association there. He returned again on the 2 o'clock train from San Manual in order to hold another mass meeting in the evening. At 4 o'clock he went to the President's home, Mr. Thos. Norman, accompanied by the other officers of the division to conduct a business meeting. The president is sick and cannot come out. A mass meeting was also held tonight. Before the arrival of the Commissioners Hon. E. V. Morales the Black Cross Nurses lined up in double file, dressed in their uniforms, at the main door entering the hall. The High Commissioner and the Lady President, Mrs. A. Ewart, entered together and went straight up to the platform. As they entered the congregation stood and sang the Ethiopian anthem. The Commissioner also stood in military array during the singing, and when it was finished he bowed and sat down. Prayer was offered by the chaplain. An address of welcome was prepared and read by the Executive Secretary. The credentials of the High Commissioner were read by the Executive Secretary in English to the English people and by a Cuban civilian in Spanish to the Cubans. Papers containing the by-laws by which the divisions in Cuba are to be governed in the future were read a Cuban police chief very much to the satisfaction of all who were present. The High Commissioner arose and in his own cherry and eloquent way addressed his audience both in English and Spanish. A collection was taken up at the close of the meeting. The national anthem was sung and the benediction was pronounced. These brought the meeting to a close. It is very gratifying to state that every one went away feeling that a very enjoyable evening was spent. The High Commissioner has got at present what may be of real tough, up-hill work to tackle, and one who is outside knows nothing of the seriousness of its nature. From the deplorable conditions existing in Cuba during the two past years up to the present time, coupled with the resignation of Dr. McGuire and others who the people of this island were looking upon as mighty chiefs who would be the Aarons and the Joshuas to our great leader, and the propaganda that has been spread by the enemies of the U. N. L. A., things were on the verge of going to pieces. The low wages that is dominant in Cuba up to the present time has also a terrible effect upon every department in this island. The Commissioner has come in the nick of time in order to save the situation. Before he can, some divisions were practically closed down, without a hope of rising. His coming to Cuba has brought them salvation. It is noteworthy to remark that it was a great foresight on the part of the parent body to have chosen Hon. E. V. Morales and sent him down to Cuba. No better man could have been sent at such a time. I have the honor to be, Mr. Editor, yours fraternally, D. E. EWART. FAITH IN U. N. L. A. AND REDENPTION OF AFRICA U. S. S.

Our view at the U. N. L. A. and the Black Star Line do not agree. I wish to repeat. You said yor hoped I had given up the Black Star Line, as it is no good, and advised me t. take your advice. But I will answer "No." Never until Gabriel blows his last trumpet shall I turn away from the U. N. L. A. or the Black Star Line that points to the freedom and the redemption of Africa and for the four hundred million Negro people of the world. Do you know that we, the new Negro, desire to be free, and our only hope is our Motherland, Africa, because our men have been launched and burned at stakes and our women have been hung by the feet and to pieces. And would I be coward enough to turn back, even though the sacrifice be great? No, no, never! Marcus Garvey first and Marcus Garvey always. For the success of the U. N. L. A. and the Black St. Line tell me to toll and struggle until God says "Come home." I hope after this you will agree with me in these remarks, and I also hope that these remarks will find you well. Sincerely, HOLLEY JORDAN. THE JUVENILES IN U. N. I. A. & A. C. L., DIV. NO. 102, NEWPORT NEWS, VA NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Feb. 18.—Xanthes, the Greek orator and philosopher, compares an idea with the root of a tree. In that he says that the idea extracts its substance from the depth of the soul. Mrs. S. Bartlett, our ardent worker, is bending every effort possible to purify the souls of our boys-scouts and future Black Cross Nurses, so as to make them a fit receptacle for the truthfulness of the idea and mission of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Last Monday evening these juveniles staged, a playlet in the spacious auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. This entertainment was pleasing and commendable by all who attended. And it also afforded a source of much encouragement for better work from these future members of the association. the present repertory of receptions, playlists and scenes. The outstanding feature of this evening's pleasure was the Silver Leaf Quartet, Messra, Bradley, Stevenson, Jordan and Stewart—the members of this juvenile quartet having a bright future, as their age, manifest the font that they can build a reputation for themselves that will ultimately mean a great success. We are not abusing to place anything i. the pathway of these young people, for it is partly with their co-operation that we hope to break down all opposition and surmount all obstacles. So we are asking God's benediction upon these young people for the future success of our division. N. COLATUS DREW. Reporter. ENCOURAGING U. N. L. A. NOTES FROM RICHMOND The Richmond Division is still alive. We were highly entertained Tuesday evening by the indices of the Black Cross Nurses, under the leadership of Mrs. A. V. Davenport, the Red president. Minor contests among nurses were announced my wife Shote. After selecting selection was rendered by Miss Willie Lewis entitled, "Marcus Gervay and the Red, the Black and the Green." With prolonged cheers the audience was almost off its feet. Miss Mary Garet Howard gave a most inspiring address, in which she said the seed, the Honored Mr. Gervay has sown will never rot, but will spring up the world o'er and forever grow. The lady president spoke of the wonderful success of the past year in caring for their sick and distressed, and with much stalkiness with many members they have only lost one. So we can see it is the hand of God in the movement. B. L. JOHNSON, Secty. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. MARCH 4. 1922 ¿Qué es Una Raza? Bajo el punto de vista científico, abundantes teorias y la mayor parte de ellas mal guadas, han hecho la cuestion racial un asunto de tan gran importancia, y nos inclinamos a creer que los hechos reales han sido cuidados por razones conventionales, para dengrar y mantener el olivo a aquellos ramales de la familia humana, cuyas abiltades y actuaciones han sido detenidas por zadamente por equellos otros rama les de la tan llamada actitud supernatural de aquellos elementos cuyo predomino se ha impuesto sobre la sufridas, con todas las victudes, miserias y despotismos características de todas las edades Una Causa Justa Siempre Triunfardas Todas Las Razas Han Tenido Sus Traldores en Todas Las Epocas—Fé y Confianza Son Sentimientos Impresindibles—Cuatrocientos Millones de Negros Han de Respaldar y Defender Los Propósitos Del Movimiento—La Determinación de Una Raza Ha de Causar Una Evolución Universal Castas, entre la gente de una misma raza Patrarracados, entre la gente de una misma casta. Superioridad de una raza hacia otra, debido al fuejo y a las vivas relaciones entre reyes y Dios. Los particularismos principios religiosos de los hombres, todo esto ha abierto una compuerta para la eterna lucha, y todavía tenemos que el episodio biblio de Cain y Abel tiene dividido, por mediation del egosmo y la inmoralidad, a todo el genero humano. La época actual es para nosotros la mas propicia para desarrollar una acción universal, propagando en pro de la causa que nos ha de conducir a la realización de un ideal basado en un principio fundamental. En estos instantes en que se hacen grandes esfuerzos para minar y hacer explotar tratando de reducir a pedazos las aspiracciones de una raza, hemos de esforzarnos para solidificar mas y mas nuestra organización, de manera que tales esfuerzos no afecten de modo alguno nuestros planes de libertad. Una y otra vez la civilización como un oceano, ha 'evantado el revoloteo de sus tremendas olas, sobre el vasto domino de la especie humana; y el unico bajel que cruza el turbulento lago es "El Espiritu Conquistado" de la razas predominantes, con la sola idea en mente de desvastar y humillar a otros pueblos, cuyo derecho a la vida les fue dado a la misma bora por un mismo Dios, sin ninguna distinción o privilegios privativos de zara deterimada. Igualdad de derecho, una justicia, tal fue la lechura del individuo humano, va sea este blanco, negro, amarillo o echocolatado. - Gran asombro ha causado a ciertos elementos las pequeñas dificultades arrojadas al paso de nuestra corporación alliada La Black Star Line. Estos contratiempos solamente actuarán como peldaños de la gran escalinata que hemos de ascender en la persecución de un mejor medio de vida. Nuestro único sentimiento es el que estas dificultades han sido planteadas y ejecutadas por ascalariados, miembros de nuestra propia raza, pero nos convence el ejemplo de que todas las naciones y todas las razas han tenido sus traidores. Hemos de demostrar al universo que el Negro ha llegado a ocupar un sitio del cual no podrá ser forzado a retroceder; por el contrario, su actitud será la de demandar eliderecho de siguir adelante. Y seguirá adelante, apesar de los contratiempos y de las dificultades arrojadas a su paso, hacia un Africa irredenta. Este objetivo ha causado una gran consternación universal: las naciones de Europa el resulta ocaclenedo por la determinación de los pueblos negros del mundo, bajo la dirección de La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Dios brindó a la Naturalaleza su mejor representativo. La Naturalaleza recibió un Hombre de manos del Creador. El Grain Artista no usó el color ni ningun otro attributo físico como unico objetivo de su admirable conception. Lomando la laoba en su aspecto general, estas cualidades no suman nada, porque la laoba ideada por el Artista fus mas alla de la ambición de los predestinados. El color y las denas propiedades fisiononicas caben perfectamente dentro del radio de la estética, y por consiguiente, el medio ambiente y otras alternativas cambian estos attributos a medida de su deseo. El mundo civilizado ha de realizar que nuestro programa no es hostil ni se opone a los intereses de raza o nacional alguna. Nos regocija el que los Blancos disfruten de su libertad en su propio país; nos regocija el que los amarillos disfruten de su independencia en su propia nación; nos regocijaría mas aun el que los Negros disfrutramos de los mismos privilegios en nuestra propia madre patria, unica herencia legal. La luz y la sombra de un cuadro deben tenerse en consideración, cuando juzgamos la figura de diferentes angulos de la galería. Cualquier pintor con mayor o menor vitalidad puede ejecutar los mismos brochazos y producir un efecto acertado. Lo que ningun otro artista puede hacer es copiar la inspiración del original, lo cual es una dada al autor por la Naturaleza. Dios, pues, hizo al hombre; esa es su obra maestra. Intellectualidades de otras razas no han de con- narrestar la nueva esperanza que abriga el Negro del presente, porque los hombres de conocimientos saben que el mundo en que vivimos esta sugeto a grandes cambios y que las razas y naciones que no se asimilen tales evolu- ciones, han de percer en los abismos del olvido. Nos corresponde, por consiguiente, ya seamos Blancos, Amarillos o Negros, luchar por un puesto en el sol político del universo. Ya sea al borde del Caucaso, en los laberniticos Balcanes, en la región de la Galán, en toda la vetusta Eufrasia, en las desconocidas selvas del Africa, en el Norte y Sur del Continente Americano, abajo do moran nuestros Antipodas; en Washington o Alabama, en Cuba o en Puerto Rico, un hombre se encuñaba, y ya sea este blanco o negro, el es un hombre creado bajo las mismas circunstancias Los hebreos luchan por la restauración de la Palestina; los irlandeses por la libertad de Irlanda; los habitantes de India por la emancipación de su país; los egipcios están determinados a que el Egipto sea libre; del mismo modo los Negros estamos determinados a que el Africa se vea libre de la explotación de otros poderes y se constituya en una nación independiente, exclusiva de, por y paro nuestra raza. Nada podrá intervenir en la realización de nuestro exilio, toda vez que nuestro ideal está basado en principios fundamentales. La dirección de La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra no cesa ni desperdicia inmumento acumulando nuevas ideas, las cuales fortifican su programa y en tiempo determinado este nos ha de colocar en posición tal, que las pequeíces de nuestros emigres en muy poco han de afectar los intereses del denervolimiento en pos de nuestro bienestar. Este tipo de Natura puede ser blanco, negro, amarillo, rubio, croillo, malato, indio o hibrido. Ese individuo es un prototipo de la especie general. Ese ejemplar es un miembro del gran Geneto, miembro del gran Arbol geneológico de la Naturalza, y sus cualidades fisiomáticas, no importa cuán simpáticas o grotescas sean, no importa que pigmento tiña su epidermis, tal tipo es una rama del Gran Arbol, y biológicamente el representa la Matriz, con todo el bagaje etnológico de la misma familia. Preparémonos para la gran convención internacional de nuestra raza, que ha de tener lugar en esta ciudad durante el mes de Agosto; laboremos de manera que logremos en dicha convención tener la representación de todas las comunidades de nuestra raza; queremos que el mundo entero se de exacta cuenta de lo que ha de significar el espíritu de la determinación de una raza, a la cual se excee, aun indigna de lo que legitimamente le corresponde. El hombre ha sido creado y colocado en este planeta, dotado de grandes facultades, para que de acuerdo con sus treescidades, se; porproclone los medios de existencia. Estos medios de vida podrán ser mas o menos fáciles, siguira la cantidad y calidad de determinación empleada para su adquisición. Basados en esta razón natural, no hay causa que justifique el no poder disfrutar de la herencia de esos privillegios. Negros, Blancos, Rojos, Amarillos, todos con el mismo derecho.

Torres Colón. New York. El Congreso Nacional de Hombres de Color y el Perifólico "La Raza Negra" El predomílio actual descansa en clerta clase de hombres, pero esta ha sido siempre la leyenda de la historia humana. Miles de años ha el Negro predomino; centenares de años ha el Amarillo predomino; en la época actual el Blanco predomina. Cuando el Negro era el alma ora civilización, cuando el Negro era el director en arte y en elección, el Blanco era entonces salvaje. El Negro ponto su poder y el Blanco, por el proceso de evolución, endónde una nueva eminencia entre los hombres y hoy losamentos a la altura de su propio poder. Así se balancea la humana con el transcurso de los tiempos, stando al presentar quienes seran quienes en el futuro. En los Estados Unidos la raza negra celebra todos los años una convención nacional, para estudiar las necesidades de dicha raza; también se acaba de celebrar en Europa un congreso de nuestra raza. En los Estados Unidos la raza negra tiene un sinnúmero de periódicos, los cuales son los voceros defensores de sus intereses. nos, a los inigratos, que nos hemos de man- tullo, rolldiflicador por esta gran causa y do olgge ver y entienda el espíritu de nuestra anunciada tomara un giro distinto y unseguir loelltamiento nos corresponde En Cuba no se ha celebrado todavía un congreso, de hombres de nuestra raza, parn estudilar nuestras necessidades públicas y privadas; pero ha llegado el momento de inticar una propaganda de opinión de Oriente a Occidente, con el fin de que en Cuba también se celebre una convención nacional de hombres de color. Tal convención no tendrá fin político alguno, no hay que temerle ni hay que hacerle campaña en contra, con el sofismo de que sea un movimiento racista. Será solamente un movimiento en pro del mejoramiento tópico de una raza que ha progresado intelectualmente, pero que está a falta de organización y orientación. Los fines del Congreso seran propagado por el periodico semanario, que empezara a publicarse con el nombre de "La Raza Negra" Eladio Florencio Garrón Carrón Santiago de Cuba, Febrero de 1922 Un Politico Fuera de Lugar E Mont Reily fue a Puerto Rico como gobernador no porque estuviera interesado en Puerto Rico, 6 en el gobierno de las dependencias exteriores de la Union, o en el clima de las Antillas, sino porque habia sido uno de los políticos republicanos que dirigieron la victoriosa campaña de 1920 y tenia que encontrarse algún comodo empleo para el Habiendo llegado a a su destino y asumido el peso de la gobernacion de la insula descubribo que Puerto Rico no era ni con mucho tan parecido a los estados del centro de la Union como el huberia podido desear, v en el acto entregose a remediar tal defecto.

Los cargos son bastante serios, incluyendo entre ellos la destitución de empleados sin formación de proceso, pero en lo principal el resentimiento contra el governor Reilly esta basado en su provincial intolerancia de cuanto no sea familiar para los residentes de Missouri. En el valle del Mississippi no se habla el español, por que habra de hablarse en Puerto Rico? El pabellón de los Estados Unidos es bastante buena para el oeste central, y por consiguiente, por que habra de permitirse a Puerto Rico hablar de independencia?

Africa Empieza a Ver la Luz de Una Reforma Politica Mientras Europa espera aun el arboreal de una nueva era, Africa empieza a la ver la luz, dice el "Daily News" de Londres, comentando y reproduciendo varios párrafos de un editorial publicado en el "Aurora," periódico de Freetown, Sierra Leona, Africa. "Hoy corremos con placer la ultima cortina sobre las varias escenas a que nos hemos referido en nuestros cinco artículos anteriores, respecto a la Corporación Municipal—dice el periódico en cuestión. El viejo afio ha desaparecido en la eteridad y todo ahora aparece que nuevo regimen se adelanta bajo la direction del Hon Emanuel H Cumnings."

La potencialidad de los votos de nuestra raza es altamente conocida por los directores políticos de los dos grandes partidos. Los directores republicanos harán bien en tratar al Negro con la consideración necesaria, de otro modo el podra causarles disgustos en las próximas elecciones generales. El gobierno británico en Inda saibamente ha suspendido la orden de arresto de Giandi, la cual fue dada a la publicidad hace varios días en un lenguaje algo rudo, amanazando reducible a prision, tratando así de queebrantar el espiritu de sus adeptos. Es muy posible que las autoridades británicas en India hayan tenido una vision. Ha se taridado bastante tiempo Inglaterra en descuhrir y admitir que ella no es querida en la India. Declarar oinclamente que los levantamientos de los nativos, bajo la dirección de Giandi, son simplemente escasas pasajeros, pero privadamente deniuestra mas tenión que nunca.

COX Hitting clean and fearlessly from the shoulder with the accuracy of a markman, the bull's eye registers each shot within the inner circle. The militant spirit of Negro men and women, with great seal, during the forces of intrigue, punishment, fear and cowardice, impales confidence. Their strength and determination supported by an indomitable will and unconquerable belief is now mixing an indisable and unbreakable substance representing our longings, hopes, ambitions and aspirations. More expression, more activity, more development is a healthy sign of those stirring times. Challenging fate, stirring with death and asking the grave "Where is thy sting?" the rebirth finds us undaunted, unafraid, unyielding, standing together in a solid phalanx declaring that those things which we have spoken of are the goal and the means justify the eno taken to gain access thereto, provided it meets with the approval of those primarily concerned. Negro men and women everywhere will understand that the time has come when by failing to hold to a given course and see the signs of the times and what the future has in store, should anyone of us let go the lifeline, he has no one to blame but himself. Do not allow yourselves to be intimidated by the petty strife of mortals. "This one thing I do" of St Paul, ably portrays the idea here conveyed. Whatever may happen, hold to the program and route mapped out in your life or to your duty to a noble cause. The acid test finds that a powerful magnetic attraction brings into use more of the existing faith and resources to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Time, the arbiter of men, circumstance, environment, education and outlook with unceasing effort, making sport of the alchemy of mortals, withers the artificial barriers and devices, leaving impaired the original brain, muscle mind and soul of Negroes everywhere. These are the things that man created that which was not and now the information is sent broadcast to the four corners of the arth that you may do likewise. Why fear man? Whose he is, the same blood and other ingredients are in his body and death comes to him as it do, to you or I. The temporary good fortune of any race turns with the cycle of time and throws the highest point lowest. Negroes know yourselves. Organization and standing organized are the keynotes of adjustment in the present century. Let no man by any means whatever turn you from being in accord with the ideals, principles and purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. An enterprise succeeds in proportion as the essential laws that relate to progress are harmonized and intellectually linked to the steadfast. Be a member of good courage. Every Negro man and woman who has the opportunity in these enlightened days to see and read for themselves and allow their reason and good judgment to turn them from a course that has their welfare at heart will lose out. The Wolf is recognized even in sheep's clothing. The remarkable fact now being demonstrated to the world, that Negro leadership as taught by the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a rallying point in greater solidarity against forces of destruction, is an achievement that ranks with the recent progress in advanced science. Brave Negroes everywhere keep it up. The leader if he leads correctly, leaves instruction and advice to be followed under any conditions whatever. When men and women die their thoughts live after them. The Universal Negro Improvement Association will live when thousands are no more. AFRICAN EMPIRE Can we as a people a scattered race obtain our desire of a great African Empire? Has this thought ever troubled you before. Yes. I know it has also we would not be seeking a free Africa for those at home and abroad. On laying this gigantic plan some of us are prone to think it can not be done. What can not be done? What is impossible? There is nothing on earth that is impossible. As we say an undertaking is impossible we take that undertaking 100 per cent, more difficult. Therefore in our advance let us remember that all things are possible. What is that which makes an undertaking possible? What is the difference between possible and impossible? The one carries with it the brave, the undaunted the strong-kneed, the courageous, the honest and brave worker who says I can sway the world." The other—the coward, the weak-kneed, the timid, the slacker who crawls in the gutter of adversity—he does not even believe in himself. The world is divided into two groups—the possible and the impossible. The possible in a national sense has given Britain the courage to rise from slavery and become the vast British Empire wherein it is said the sun never sets. The possible group has given the pioneers of America the coprage to make America the richest country in the world, with the exception of Africa. The possible group has made Japan the stronghold of Asia. The possible group has caused the French, the Italians, the Dutch etc. to be what they are today. Industrially the possible group have out through stinneses, laid tunnels under the sea, made ships to fly in the air and ships to sail under water, carriages to run without horses, messages to go along wires and messages to go without wires, horned boxes which we call gramphones to imitate the human voice, x-rays to relect the unseen, and the microscope to enlarge the unseen. Individually the possible man gets up in the world. He becomes a leader, a pioneer. He does not use impossibilities; he has no room for it; he forgets there is such a word. He holds on to the substance and casts away the trash. He is a great uplifter of mankind; a man to reason with and a man to be proud. This group reflects itself in must like Toussaint L'Onverture, Frederick Douglass, Marcus Galway, Phillis Wheatle, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Prof. William Furia, Sir John E. Bruce, Booker T. Washington and many others of fame. In the end the impossible group is merely nothing. They are here today and away tomorrow; they hide in the shadows of their cloak of folly; they are only knockers to the other fellows—the possible group. As a race of people who are striving to win our way up the pathway of fame to show our posterity what we have done, let me say to you that all things are possible. Your possibilities lie within your self. You make yourself. No man, no physician, no philanthropist can make you anything. We are just what we make ourselves. If we remain with the impossible group we will always be crying, be wailing, be poor, be lifeless, helppa, bedridden, and all manner of maladies will be cura, because we do not have faith in ourselves. No man can stay down who belongs to the possible group. He feels not for the future, but he commands it. He goes forth with courage, with the reins of "I Can Do It" about his loins, and all things are possible to such a man. Humanity shows him with blessings. Health, riches and power are subject to his control; no human power can stop him. He believes in himself. He knows he has the good hold on life. He is undaunted. He steps on the pathway and imprints his footsteps in the sands of time, so that his posturity may see and know the value of his toll. He is remembered from generation to generation. Such is the man who belongs to the possible group. And such are the men who will brave the waves of difficulty and declare to all mankind the Blessed African Empire ```markdown ``` 664 Richmond St. Toronto Canada EUGENE CORBIE ELECTED AS MENORAH DELEGA AS MENORAH DELEGATE F.
