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.

(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. A Division Chapter No. 315 was favored with the presence of Rev Golay, pastor Second Baptist Church, this city, who delivered a most fitting address to the much interested audience and showed plainly the importance of harmonious workings of every Negro throughout the entire universe, for the black man's cause is one and the same everywhere and we are to bring out better conditions. His discourse was convincing in every part and the audience was well filled and pleased with the address. Rev P W Goode, our newly elected president, made a few short remarks and said the U N L A was not organized to unite all churches, but its purpose was to unite their forces into one great body All last week meetings at C M E Church were in progress and one addition to the church resulted. Wednesday night quarterly conference was in session. Presiding Elder H. C Coggins of Chicago District and Rev T Jamieson of Detroit and Rev. J. F Sanders, pastor St John's A.

Many nice expressions were offered in favor of the "Garvey Movement." Mr. George Underwood, one of our "old time" residents, was there, and his energies had been pent up so long that he behaved like a little boy. In consideration of his many deprivations he is to be excused. Mrs. Charlotte Clarke, Black Cross nurse, has been quite ill, but it last report she had improved.

Feb 23 — Lincoln University won the basketball chari- nship of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the Middle At- lantic Nites by defeating Hampton 41 to 35 in a hard fought well played game. The first half ended 25 to 17 in favor of the visitors. 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.

Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, 86 W 185th St. Your Excellency — The Negro peoples of Tela desire at this epoch to extend their heartfelt sympathy to you in the recent criticism of you through the mal intentions of fellow members of our race. We feel deeply concerned in the entire proceedings and we can assure you that we share with you in the sufferings you are undergoing for the benefit of our downtrodden race. We further assure you that our aspirations towards the goal of our success is unanimous in sentiment and endeavora. We glory in you the more for your intrepidity in leading us on to success. We are cognizant of the fact that with such a fearless and visionary captain as you at the helm of our vessel of state, we shall reach the glorious sunlit shores of Africa. 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. Long may you live to fight for this glorious cause is the fervent desire of THE NEZO PEOPLES OF TELA. Per D. Erantus Thorpe Divisional President and Commissioner GREETINGS TO HON. E. V.

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. LORD. 100 W 144th St. New York City. A GREETING FROM PORTLAND, CONN. Editor The Negro World I want to say to my people that some of the most aggressive fighters against the U N I A are preachers. For nearly two years I have volunteered my services to the U N I A to organize and to do all the good I can, and I have tried for nine months to reorganize a local in New Britain, Conn. 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. Yours for African redemption. REV H. C. LOWRIE. U N I A Fish, Oyster & Produce Co. Portland, Conn. February 23, 1922.

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. The fate that overtook Haman, who plotted the run of Mordecai, awaits these vermin who are seeking to undermine the foundation of the U N I A Watch it with both eyes JAN SMUTS—DICTATOR!

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.

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.

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.

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 residue, and that only is then divided among all the persons employed and members of the store, in proportion to the amount of their wages or of their respective purchases during the quarter. 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.

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.

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.

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. I am, 8. A. DE BOUZA Executive Secretary HON. B. B. FAIRCLOUGH ADDRESSES THE U. N. L A IN JEFFERSON PARK, NEWPORT NEWS. VA. HON. B. B. FAIRCLOUGH ADDRESSES THE U. N. 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.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General To All Divisions and Members of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION A copy of the records of all Divisions, Branches, Chapters and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been sold from the Secretary-General's office by some one who was employed by the organization, either as an officer, an employee or an agent. This record, as stolen, may be used by the person or persons concerned, to write to the members and officers of the divisions of the organization for their own minister or other purpose. ply your request, which I hope will not cause any hard feelings between your friendship and mine. 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.

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." "Ellos quieren que nuestra corporación aspire una nueva forma de oxigeno política para regenerar una atmósfera victoria. Algo hemos de decir a nuestros nuevos amigos, principalmente a aquellos que han sido reconocidos por us propio pais, por haber tomado parte en el adelanto de la humanidad."

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.
