DELEGATION TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS SCORES FIRST VICTORY The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro VOL. XIII. No. 5 DELEGATIC NATIONS FELLOWMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It is with a great deal of pleasure that I have to report to you the safe arrival of the delegation from the Third International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world at the League of Nations Assembly now in session at Geneva, Switzerland. Not only has the delegation arrived safely, but we have succeeded in making a wonderful impression on the Assembly through the expose by Delegate Bellegarde, of Haiti, of the atrocities committed upon the natives of the late German colony of Southwest Africa by the British mandate. The speech of Delegate Bellegarde was a masterpiece of eloquence, which stirred the whole Assembly to an earnest endeavor to know the truth about what is being done to the native Africans by the Mandatory Powers. With this information before the League, it is reasonable to assume that our petition, asking for the turning over of the ex-German colonies to the Negro peoples of the world under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, will receive more favorable consideration. We can well trust our delegates to leave no stone unturned to see that better consideration is given to us through this our petition. Professor Adam's Success Professor Jean Joseph Adam, of Haiti, who is Secretary and interpreter to the delegation, has A Newspaper Devoted Solemly to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 ON TO LEAGUE SCORES FIRST PROFESSOR JEAN JOSEPH ADAM OF HAITI MATCHLESS DIPLOMAT Monsieur Bellegarde, Hatian Ambassador to France, Exposed Atrocities in Ex-German Southwest Africa GREAT SUCCESS AHEAD FOR U. N. I. A. scored a wonderful success in influencing his countryman, Monsieur Bellegarde, to sponsor the plea for justice for the native Africans. Our delegates must be given the support necessary to enable them to carry out successfully the mission on which they have been sent. It is, therefore, my duty to appeal to all divisions and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to send in immediately to Headquarters their contributions to the delegation fund. Already New York has raised its quota of three thousand dollars; Detroit has raised one thousand dollars, and several other divisions are in line with a full subscription of their quota. Let us all work together to put over this big program. It has also been arranged that the delegation, after the adjournment of the session of the League, visit several of the principal countries in Europe in the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our New Enemies I have a few words to say bearing on the present activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are now lined up PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE, IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES for the work of a new year. Our members, friends and supporters everywhere must attune themselves to fighting the battles that must be fought in our march forward. The enemies of our cause have been fighting us on every hand, but we are glad to say that we have defeated them at every turn. The enemies, as you all know, are made up of some of the men whom we have dismissed from our service for dishonesty, disloyalty and general misconduct. We are glad to get rid of such men. They were responsible in a great measure for our movement being exposed to criticism, and now that they are out of the way we can breathe a freer atmosphere, in that we know that so many crooked characters are not within our ranks to handicap us by their acts. We prefer to know that we have but a few leaders who are honest and upright than to have one thousand dishonest ones whom we have to watch and keep guard over. It lessens our work to know that they are our and that we are not responsible for their acts. We need not be afraid of the consequence, because men without probity can do no permanent harm to movements that are righteous and well-founded. Let us, therefore, girdle on our armor and go forth anew to battle in the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Vernal Williams—Opposition Forces Doomed—Will Soon Be Lost in Oblivion as Others Before them—Unable to Stand the Onrush of This Mighty Movement LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Sept. 10, 1922 Since the adjournment of the convention the capacity of Liberty Hall has been inadequate to accommodate the enormous crowds that assemble there on Sunday nights. Tonight every chair in the building was pressed into service, yet hundreds had to remain standing during the entire meeting, while several hundreds more were forced to watch the proceedings from the outside. Nowhere else in the city or in the country can be seen so many thousands of colored people coming together at the same time in one place as at Liberty Hall and this furnishes ample proof of the ever-increasing strength which the University Negro Improvement Association is gaining day by day in New York City. It is only a question of time when all of colored Harlem will be enrolled under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green for there is no movement in existence which offers the Negro a more constructive programme or which embraces in its scope everything which stands for human uplift and human development than that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Much enthusiasm was displayed tonight when the President General Hon. Marcus Garvey told of the success which the delegation sent from the convention to the League of Nations Assembly in Switzerland was achieving. He made special reference to the service which had been rendered the delegation by Prof Adam the secretary and interpreter, through whose instrumentality a strong appeal was made before the League of Nations by a representative of Haiti, in behill of the natives of Southwest Africa. Mr Garvey also announced the receipt of a message from the Supreme Deputy. Hon. G O Marke, in which he expressed high hopes of what the delegation will be able to accomplish The other speakers were Sir William Ferria, literary editor of the Negro World, and Hon. Vernal Williams. Assistant Counsel General. Prof. Ferria addressed was, as usual, full of intellectual thought. Some men, he said have complained because the Universal Negro Improvement Association has not been able to put over completely its industrial programme; but when you look over and see great organizations like the Pennsylvania, the New York Central and the New York & Hartford Railroads, you will find that it took from 25 to 50 years to put these organizations where they are. He held out great hopes for the Negro through the Universal Negro Improvement Association and said what the Negro needs to do and what this organisation needs to do with its splendid membership and its splendid courage and enthusiasm which have been manifested is to hold together, use its brain power, use its foresight, form diplomatic compilations and you will see a new Negro, a Negro with foresight instead of hindsight, a Negro who is not swept by every wave current, but who can be a master of his own fate and the architect of his own destiny because he thinks and knows. Hon. Vernal Williams delivered a mastly address in which he made a philosophic analysis of the opposition forces to the movement. By a process of close reasoning he showed the inevitable end to which the opposers would come, taking as an example those who have fought the movement in its early stages, and who in process of time had been lost in oblivion. There can be no opposition, he said, as far as this association is concerned. If there was any opposition at all it became weak and impotent in the wake of this mighty movement toward the goal of African redemption. In the first place, he added, they who oppose are not united in their opposition; in the next place there was no need to fear the opposition from those who were ejected from the organization, because the influence which they wielded with the people ended the moment they ceased to be connected with the association. Mr. Williams made optimistic reference to the expected appearance of the Negro Daily Times, through which medium, he said, the voice of the Negro peoples of the world would resound daily. If there was ever a time in the history of the world, said he, when the black man is becoming more powerful and most potent, it is now, when we are preparing to speak to the entire world, not weakly, not bi-widely, not monthly, but daily. Following is the full text of the speech: Sir William Fervie Speaks The grist speaker was Sir William Fervie, Literary Editor of the Negro World, who sold men got together and founded Yale College. Those were slight events but out of that small gathering an intellectual force emanated which lifted this country in the eyes of the civilized world and gave (prestige and standing. So it will be with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are face to face with a dominant civilization we are coming in contact with men that had the start on us in mastering science and learning modern business and modern commerce and hence we have to match brains with races which are more experienced than ourselves. Everywhere I go I meet men in the barber shops and on the street corners discussing the race question—wondering how the Negro can get out of the pit in which he wakes exist, and I recall the words of Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg speech when he said. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what these men (referring to the soldiers) did here. So it has been with mankind. And as we study history we find that in the ancient world the race with brawn, the race with muscle the race that could wield the sword and the spear and the battle axe paved its way and gained power, but in the modern world with the invention of gunpowder muscle power does not mean so much in battle it is brain power and will power that wins, and in modern civilization the race which has a surplus of brain power and will power is the race that comes out on top. India is nearly ten times as great in population as little Japan but India is under the heel of the British rule while Japan is a recognized force. It is because the Japanese have enough brain power to cope with modern civilization in its scientific and commercial and industrial state. So it is with the Negro. In order to lift his standing he must get the things which other races have. He must acquire that intellectual strength, that scientific resource, that industrial and commercial power that lifted other races. A Begging Race He has been a begging race, he has sent up petition after petition, but in this world's affairs force is the only thing that counts, and by that I do not only mean physical force but mental force, moral force, political force, industrial force—the force of organization. Some men have complained because the Universal Negro Improvement Association has not been able to put over completely its industrial program; but when you look over and see these great organizations like the Pennsylvania and New York Central and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, you will find that it took from 28 to 50 years to put these organizations where they are. As I travelled through New England I found that nearly every one of those big industrial plants was founded by the father or the grandfather or the great-grandfather of the present generation. So it will be with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Launching of a Worldwide Organization The Black Star Line in giving birth to a world organisation launched an organization that will grow and develop. I think it is a wholesome idea to teach black men to build up business enterprises and gain some measure of economic independence. No matter how much you may rage and rant and talk about Patrick Henry, as long as your bread and butter are dependent on another race that race has you in its grip. It is only when you, like the Jew, become so strong economically, commercially and industrially that you can command others and dictate modern finance and modern commerce that you will prove irresistible. The Negro has been organising his church and has been a spiritual force, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the first worldwide agreement to make and mobilize the figure as an industrial and economic THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 cal force. It was the organization of the Blair Star Line and making the Negro in the commercial world that welded the black peoples of the world together. I believe in the law of evenness. I see in that law which permeates life from the amu- up to man who is about the struggle for existence and the survival of the forest. Three thousand years ago certain races were on top—the Egyptians the Haitians the Assentians and Persians, they are not today. Two thousand years ago the Romans were on top they are not today. Today the Anglo-Britain is on top. Which race will be on top 500 years or 1000 years from now depends upon the race that is intellectual, morally industrially and commercially fit. No matter how much you may be criticized from the outside if you have internal force and internal strength you can overcome. How do disease germs lodge in the system. When you breath the disease germ through your nostril or when you take it into your system through water or food there is a battle between the white blood corpuscles and the disease germ. If the disease germs win out they take possession of the system and you become attaken. If the white blood corpuscles win out your system is able to throw off the disease germs. So it is with an organization, a race or a nation. If it has internal vitality internal strength internal cohesion it will throw off the attacks from the outside just as the white corpuscles throw off the disease germ Hold Together What the Negro needs to do what this organization needs to do, with its splendid membership, with its splendid courage and enthusiasm that has been manifested, is to hold together; use its brain power, use its foresight, form diplomatic combinations and you will see a new Negro, a Negro with foresight instead of mind sight—a Negro who is not swept by every wave current but who can be a master of his own fate and the architect of his own deity because he thinks and knows (Applause) Hon. Vernal Williams Speaks. The next speaker was Hon Vernal J Williams, Assistant Counsel General, who said I am more than happy to be with you this evening and to be given this high honor of addressing you. It is a very long period of time that has elapsed since I enjoyed the privilege of speaking to the people who go to make up that great body of men and women whose voices are reaching throughout the world for a free and redeemed Africa. Voice of Negro Stronger than Ever Just at this moment that voice is stronger than ever and evidenced by the great fact that over across the Atlantic your representatives, my representatives, the representatives of Africa, of our Africa of the Africa of our inspired fathers are tonight saying to the powers that he gives us that which belongs to us." I wish it were possible that all of us could be there clamoring on the doors of the League of Nations. I wish it were possible that these thousands of men and women who are gathered here tonight could be there in their physical forms clamoring for that which belong to the African peoples of the world. But even though we are not there in our physical selves, even though we are not there in the body physical, even though we are not there in person, yet your enthusiasm your determination, your progressive steps forward in this mighty movement are re-echoing over there, and every voice, every word that you give to your representatives over there re-echoes stronger and stronger as the beurs go by. Opposition to Movement Powerless. The disloyal, the dishonest, the improper whom you have deposed from your organization, those whom you have ejected, if they were men of stability in the world, if they were men who could corral a united force, we would attach some importance to their opposition. Then again, there are some who say that they may do harm because they were powerful when they were with us. Here is the argument in response. Whatever standing I have had, whatever standing any other man has had as a figure in this city or in this state or in this country, it came because they were connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause). It is not because they themselves were if any value in the community, in the state or in the nation. Must it not logically follow then that the same power that made you can break you? (Applause). And that is why we have no fear at all of opposition from those who were thrown out or those who were ejected; because the very influence that swayed in days past—that influence that caused men and women throughout the country and the world to listen to them—came not because it was they that spoke, but it was because they spoke representing the Universal Negro Improve- NOW PLAYING LAFAYETTE 7th AVENUE AT 122nd STREET THEATER DRIECTION OF COLEMAN BROS.

And I am not talking as I am because I am speaking here those who know me know that I express myself independently at all times but the thing is this we are to view the fate. Brief Life Their Portion When the movement was in its early stages four years ago there was a paper that was called the Emancipator. In every issue its policy was to attack the Universal Negro Improvement Association. After five or six issues it began to appear very regularly and then it failed Where is the Emancipator Now? Where is the Emancipator tonight? Then the men who were responsible for that paper—there was a time when they could attack and they were heard. Where are they tonight? They were big men in times past in the movement and while they were here the world lent them its care and when they left the Universal Negro Improvement Association who heard them? Fighters Doomed to Oblivion As surely as night follows day in the very wake of those who trod the beaten path to oblivion because this movement refreshed its influence from them even tonight those who fight will take their place and be found in oblivion. The movement need not worry our day is coming when our peace in the international life of the peoples of the world will be settled once and for all. The day will come when representatives when ambassadors plenipotentiary when our consuls will go to the League of Nations will go to the councils of the nations of the world not to ask to sit among the executives—the day is coming and not because we will that it must come but he sees it is written on high because it is from above—that as surely as night follows day every nation and every tongue shall occupy its proper place in the world (applause) and if Asia will occupy her place in the world if Europe will occupy her place in the world surely Africa—the Africa that you preach and dream and talk about—the Africa that the brilliant luminaries who in times past led the Universal Negro Improvement Association preached and talked about that same Africa will rise and her voice will be heard in the council halls of the nations of the world. A Great Day for the U N I A. This is a great day for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. A year ago a big politician in New York fought the movement. Two nights ago he said to me, "I did not help Marcus Garvey build up. I did not help the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and by God I shall help no man to tear it down" (Applause) Men of Prominence Standing for Gar Prominent men in New York men whom we call big Negroes—are tonight standing up for Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause). And let me any they talk about Americans and West Indians. If I have got the sentiment of the people of this city correctly I am sure that the genuine the stable the solid men and women of this country are paying absolutely no attention to those who talk about American citizens and West Indians. (Applause) And I need not tell you you can see for yourselves—if men like Pandolph and Owens had the people behin' them they would not have to hire halls night after night and hustle to get $10 to pay for them. What have we then to fear? Put Our Shoulders to the Wheel Let us view the facts as they are. The Universal Negro Improvement Association stands for a united Negro race, an independent Africa. Let us stand for these principles and we shall reap the reward, we shall behold our dreams, in reality our boys and girls who are just coming up into manhood and womanhood—they their children and children's children—generations yet unborn shall see the fruits of the seed we are sowing, they shall behold a free and redeemed Africa, they shall behold the Red, the Black and the Green floating in the waves of freedom—freedom for the Negro peoples of the world (Great applause) Mr Garvey's Speech Mr Garvey said - I have a special duty to perform tonight, but unfortunately I am not able to emphasize it as I would like to, in that I am suffering from a toothache which prevents me from speaking NOW PL LAFAY 7th AVENUE AT 182nd STREET THEA Week Commencing M BON-BON BUDDY.

I have to announce that we will be here for five very night this week starting from nine o'clock night with a start at six o'clock out. On Friday, 22nd the hotel will be hall and terrace, in the Wheatsley Hotel, and we are liable to the members and friends of the hotel as sociation to patronize the hotel. A ball and reception at the Wheatsley Hotel will be given on the last and 11th of every month under the management of the hotel. As you know, it is Philip Wheatsley. Here are a business proposition under the aesthetic of the hotel. Negotiate the proposed Venue and the hotel needs enterprise and therefore all members and friends of the movements are requested to patronize it. We have no hundred and sixteen living rooms and those who want to re- sale at the hotel may do so. So all those members of the hotel will wish to make the hotel have them at the hotel. We are a restaurant which gives a special service, and we are members who live in the neighborhood to patronize the restaurant. Program for September During the month of September we are all laying up to work on a good financial base as a business enterprise. All we have many in New York. We have three great stores a retail and non retail week an other week the retail. We are also having a shopping at. We have a country new owner perfect management.

We are also having an enlarged business department and fashion room at 30 and 35 West 135th street. We have bought out the manufacturing plant of Berry & Ross and we are going to start of manufacturing the clothing of clothes and gentlemen. We will also offer future deals. We have thousands of deals available in stock and we will be manufacturing them ourselves. We also have three other restaurants in the city and we want all members and friends of the Union Negro Improvement Association to patronize these businesses as the administration for the new year intends to pay attention to these industries and place them on a paying basis as to deserve the income we require. Dr Dingwall's Lecture Tour You will all remember to be in Liberty Hall every night this week. Let us have a big week this week—post-convention meetings. Tomorrow we will have as principal speaker the Rev Dr J A Dingwall's physician and surgeon who will be the head of our hospital work in Libertia. He starts out from tomorrow night on a lecture tour of our branches in the interest of raising funds to develop our hospital work in Libertia. Every night there will be a live program. After explaining that the delay in the appearance of the first issue of the Daily Negro Times was due to some last-minute adjustments which were found to be necessary in the press room Mr Garvey then referred to the League of Nations Delegation as follows. Delegation to League of Nations. We have had good news from our delegates at the Assembly of the League of Nations. You yourselves must have read on Friday the press dispatch which related the great appeal made before the Assembly by Belegarde, of Haiti, on behalf of the natives in Southwest Africa one of the last German colonies that our delegates are asking for in the name of this association for the four hundred million Negroes of the world. Professor Adam's Good Work. NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS excitement in the assembly over the great speech he made in behalf of the natives in German Southwest Africa. This piece of diplomacy is one that stands out to the credit of this young man and we did not lose sight of the value of the man in this respect when we placed him on the delegation. It was just for reason of the kind that we placed Professor Adam on the delegation and I feel sure the division in Los Angeles of which he is president will be proud of him for the splendid work done for the few days he has been in France and Switzerland. Encouraging News From Chairman I have also received a message from the chairman of the commission His highness the Supreme Deputy stating there are still many more surprises to be sprung this week in the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association before the League Assembly. So that we have everything to hope for. And I feel sure that by tomorrow every member of the League of Nations will be well informed of the work of our delegate in that they will place the poll in the hands of every delegate The president general concluded his address with a forceful appeal for further contributions to the Delegation Fund emphasizing that the delegates must be sufficiently well backed financially as to be able to make the necessary impression on the delegates from the fifty-two nations represented in the League and to carry out successfully the work with which they were entrusted. When the meeting of the League of Nations Assembly is ended the delegates will tour Germany France and England speaking in the interests of the association and it will be impossible for them to carry out this other ary unless they are well provided with funds. ESCAPING GAS IMPERILS NEGRO WORLD OFFICE Flames Promptly Subdued by J. R. Austin But for the presence of mind of J. R. Austin a mining engineer, of 123 West 135th street the office of the Negro World might have gone up in smoke last Sunday September 13. A workman while fixing a large gas pipe managed to disconnect it. The lighted candle in his hand ignited the coupling gas and immediately flames a foot or more in height shot up toward the colling and against the wall. Austin rushed to the scene with a wet sack and began to call for more wet sacks. Coats canvas bags and bags of cement were pressed into service while Austin stood his ground although the heat was intense. Boxes, rolls of paper and everything that could burn was swiftly carried away but the fire began to grow unmanageable and the fire department was called. In the meanwhile the gas the meter of which was in the next building was turned off and the fire subdued But for Austin's prompt action all the rolls of paper for the new press and documents on the shelves would either have caught fire or been destroyed by the water of the fire department WANTED Representatives are needed in every town and city to gather ads and data for second edition of Standard National Negro Business literature on commission basis men and women Write W B & J CO 2308 10th Ave New York City HAVE YOUR CARPET CLEANED before laying down shampoo system quickest and cleanest.

CURRIE RETURNS FROM THE HOSPITAL After an illness of six weeks, due to a severe nervous breakdown Mme. Isadora Currie, the well known beauty cultist of 929 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn is out again and has resumed business as usual. Despite reports to the contrary, Mme Currie did not undergo an operation but, due to the large volume of summer business, she was overworked and on the recommendation of her physician, Dr Edward B. Cunningham she went to the Brooklyn Hospital, where she recuperated thoroughly. Three years ago Mme. Currie came to Brooklyn and during that time has built up a wonderful business. With her famous Currie Tar Hair Grower, which is on sale at leading white and colored drug stores and beauty parisers she has established a reputation not only in the United States, but in the West Indies, Central and South America—a reputation equal, without exaggeration, to that of the famous Mme. Walker. As a member of Concord Baptist Church, Mme. Currie is liked and respected for her fine musical and dramatic talent. Her many friends are certainly pleased to know that she's again well and at the old stand.

Dr Reed addressed us once before and we Thought him at hia heat but when he made his address, using os his sun- ject ‘What must the Negro do to win*” It was indeed his masterpiece Dr Roed ts helping along educational lines to solve this great rece problem In his addres he made the colored man see himself then, see himself now and see himssif in the future. He made the thoughtless think and the thought- ful think deeper. He placed special stress on what we must do an a race. He carried us to helghte not yet reached, but we beheld their summits anf now know they are not uneur- mountable He made it plain that the Negro’e greatest problem ts bimeelf and when the Negro had dlscovered himeett there would be no more race question. A Greek philosopher coulé not have made the tact more plain that 1¢ Dr Reed when he explained to us the theme “We should be Master of| Ourself,” that Ia, we must know our- | selves, know our power. know our etm and know our work and do It. He em. | phasized these facts with such force nd eloquence that he fairly captivated : nig hearera and carried them to the Mount of Hope and showed them the Land of Promise. Long live such men as Dr Reed. for rom remotest ages there has always een some one to lift the vell of igno- ance from the eyes of slumbering peo- le and make them see the real things f life Such a man hes arteen in ovr, aiést who s helping us to eee and, inow ourselves better May God shower His blessings of| uccess on Dr Reed wherever he may 0, for truly he le a great help to the lack man of America MEMORIAM Ip loving memory of our dea brother, Clalr Mente Kendall, who de parted this life July 8. 1910.

What has the divurcing of Mr Garvey and his ‘wife to do with his trying to find sume sure for the injustices done to the Negry* The is for you to answer Now an for lawauita, that ts a prob- Hem uaeican to discuss Broause there ‘are lawsuits all over America and with pepote in overy walk of life. Again it mays, ‘The difficulty with Vim tn that he as absolutely no busl- ness sense” How could you form such an opinion? A man with abao- lutely no business sense could not and would not try to unite @ dividend people | Again says, When It comes to Mr Garveys industrial and commercial enterpriacs. there is more ground tor doubts and misgivings than in the matter of hia character Fient «Call hla enterprises are in- ‘orporated in Delaware where the co- operation Iams are loose and where no Anancia! otatements are required, so far a [could find, and I have searched with care. Mr Garvey has never pub- Mshed a complete statement of the in- come ond expenditures of the “Negro Improvement Ausociation.” or tho Black Star Line © or any of hie en-| ‘erprises which really revealed me Anancial situation * Right hore Mr DuBols, you have! ‘aused many of the suyporters of the| “National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People” to think back T have been a member of thie association for geveral years. I also have eclicited members for it through Mr ©. P. Richardson, of. Baton Rouge, La., and I also have in my possession papers showing that on March 12, 1931. Theodore Murray, Scot- land, La, paid membership fee, $1; same date, Daniel Wisham, 1653 Con- vention stree', membership fee, $1, Buton Rovge, La.. same date, Valrey Trehan R F D No. 2, Baton Rouge. Le membership $1. and « score of others = name these in scattered parte, so you might look over your record and see if my statement is true, Again there was quite a deal of money taken up through this section in the fall of 1917 and part of 1918 to asnint Dr Leroy Bundy, of East 6t Louis r.ot fame. Now I would like to knov why did not the association pub- lah what became of that money? Don't you think the association had as much right to publish to its members what i did with that amount ef money which must have been upward of §30,- 00, am well as Mr Garvey should re- veal tho financial situation of the Universal Negro Improvement Asso- ciation?” This Is « question for you to newer Again tt says, “Suppose Mr Gar- vey would drop down from the clouds, and concentrate on his Industrial schemes.” As @ practical firat step toward his| ireams. in my opinion the greatest! scheme that Mr. Garvey has in view @ to fret unite. if possible, the Negroes of the world and to that end he Ie vorking with ail the power end will hat any human could possess. He has proven that In his tour of the South. Again it says: “The frat duty of a| ‘ormmercis! enterprise is to carry on| tective commerce” tn that he hag hit the keynote, be-| muse he has pleaded to the Negro to ceca ears etme nore ee ae one eet ae a 3 il nn eae ae ee ee finances trosther and assist ene asic | other to = high elevation. If Mr. Gar- | vey has net succeeded in many a Ids untertakings he has Gone ter mgre than many of the other Ne who claim to be so wis, One trig to Cnt be stands for a principle, and phat Principle is the emancipation of the Negro, eo that he can stand tn this world as a man, Uke other races of ]men and not ase brute He hes proven 1 Decause he ie the only Negro thet |has toured the heart of the Bouth in the intereat of race unity. Now about the clans All the other smart alec Negroes talk about the ‘clans, but cone had the nerve or ability to go down In Georgia, as Mr. Garvey 414, and find out for himself what was the attitude of the clans toward the |Nesro. But many are criticiting sir ‘Garvey. although he made a open ststement of what was mig Dateeon Mr Clark and himself. There ts an old saying that if you want to cure an evil you must start at Its origin. That Mr. Garvey has done in the case of the clans. Now, if any of the emartiss doubt Mr. Gervey's statement, why don't they go down to eee Mr Clark for themselves? You all have put your- selves in the position af doubting ‘Thomases, ¢0 the only solution is to go down in Georsia to find out for your- selves. I would bet @ year's corvitude under the hardest taakmaster in America that they could not put you or any of that red-tape bunch up in New York tn cannon and shoot tham down into Georgia to see Mr. Clark. Yet you try to criticize the Negro who had the nerve to enter the lion's den. ‘The Negrose of the South are satis- fed with Mr. Garvey, and of all of you great men he le thy only Negro who has toured the South pleading with the Negroes to unite themselves and be men like othe races of men. Furthermore there is no one (n the State of Louisians finding fault with sr Garvey unless it is ecme oid preacher who sees that the time ts near when he will be through robbing the people in the name of God, er somo old thrown-away politician who heads jome benevolent or burial society and hinks that bis easy game wil) be blocked. So tar as the laboring clase oF illiterate bunch of Negroes (as you und your bunch call us) are concerned, wo are all eatisfted to give Mr. Garvey ur money. It ts ours, and fust as we sive to you end others through the National Association for the Advance- nent of Colored People, we have the ame right to give to others who are rring to do something for therace If Mr. Garvey has failed or lost monsy n any of his undertakings, that's nothing. He has hed an uphill pult rom the start It te better to try and ail than to do nothing but ahoot hot sir This government perhepa lost millions in the raflrosd operatigns with nearly a hundred years of exper!- ence in the business world. No man could have done more then Mr. Gar- vey in three years, with Negroes fight ing him on every hand. Now, if Mr Garvey's plans are not feasible, give us something that 's But remember that all of your old plans have failed.

Baptist Church af Helena. \rk. of which he was pastor at che time of hus death, having served [forty-six years without a break It was the hist and only church that he pastored. ‘This in stself was a remarkable achievement In 1894 Dr Morris was elected president of the National Baptist Convention, ‘the largest Negro ecclesiastical convention in the world, and held the position for twenty eight sears In September, 189, at the convention, rn St Lams, Mo he and Dr Rayd established a puthhshing hoses at | Nashville, Tenn, under the auspices of the National Rapt.st Publishing Board Dr Morris was undoubtedh the greatest leader that the Negro Baptist Charch has thus far produced He possessed an impressive. personality, orgamzing gens, understood human nature and modern ‘problems and ruled the Baptist convention as King \eolus, the god of the winds in Greek mythology, ruled the winds Just_as \eohas knew when to release and when to hold the winds in check so Dr Morris | knew when to tighten and when to let loose the reins of authority | Dr Richard Henry Boyd, who built up the Baptist Publishing House in Nashville, reached the age of seventy eight Fresh from college, we: met him twenty-one years ago at a Baptist convention in Palatka, Fla, at a Sunday dinner m the home af Rev Dr Brawley, who entertained the convention. He was then fifty-seven years old, but possessed the vigor and energy of a man in his thirties. He dominated the conversa- tion, He possessed a fertile mind which threw off one scintillating idea’ after another. His fame resides in the fact that he put his ideas into| execution until he built up the largest and strongest Negro publishing. house in the world. It does seem a strange irony of fate that the two powerful Baptist leadere—the president of the National Baptist Convention and the manager of the National Baptist Publishing House—who split the great convention in Chicago in September, 1914, over the issue of the control of the publishing house, should die within two weeks of each other But such was the case. Both were strong, masterful personalities, and both left their impress upon Negro thought and Negro life in America, Mrs. William P Hayes first attracted attention as a musician in Wilmington, N.C, eighteen years ago She was then known as Miss Carrie Aimy, the accomphshed organist of St Stephens A M E Church, and was ever ready to lend her time and services to other churehes or worthy causes on special occasions without pay As the wife of the brilliant and resourceful pastor of the Mt. Ohvet Baptist Church of New York City, Mrs Hayes remained the same sweet and modest helper of her race and humanity. . THE U.N. LA. N the past four years and a half the Universal Negro Improvement, I Association has startled the world by the miraculous manner in which it has organized nearly a thousand divisions and enrolled hundreds of thousands of members in different sectons of the globe ‘Quite naturally the doubting Thomases will ask what it has to show in a tangible form and shape. Four buildings, two printing presses, three grocery stores, two restaurants, a hotel, a steam laundry, a doll factory, a clothing manufactory and a dressmaking establishment - these are the things that the UN I. A. and its allied industrial corporations can show in New York City alone. The skeptical will admit this, but will point to the fatlure of the Black Star Line, the pet child of the U. N. I A. to realize the hopes and expectations of its founders and promoters. But we must remember that the U.N I. A and the Black Star Line are human and not divine insti tutions, Being human institutions, they are subject to the ups and downs and the mistakes and disappointments of other human institutions. ‘We must remember that a few years ago a Boston multi-milhonaire was fleeced of a million dollars in a single deal by a copper syndicate ‘We must remember that George Westinghouse, the famous inventor and founder of the Westinghouse Electric Company, was twice on the verge of bankruptcy, We must remember that some nine years ago the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad hossted the signals of distress and passed its dividends because millions of dollars were wasted in buying up railroad, trolley and steamship lines in New England Thus $35,000,000 was reputed to have been paid for the Westchester ratlroad, which was worth only $10,000,000 in realty. Twenty million dollars ‘was reputed to have been paid for a Connecticut trolley line which was ‘warth only $8,000,000. | And just as the big ratlroad and steamship lines and big industrial plants are floating on the floodtides of prosperity today because they profited by the experience of the past, so it will be with the UN I A,, its allied industrial organizations and other Negro business enter- prises throughout the world. Then, again, it has been claimed that the U N I A . pays too high salaries. Possibly the salaries voted at the’ First International Convention of Negroes in 1920 were too Ingh But, the salaries voted in 1922 do not seem to us to be too high A vital principle underlies these high salaries. First, they enable an official to maintain the dignity and prestige of his position Seundly, thes remove the temptation for the official to be dishonest, as they provide for all of his needs, wants and necessities, so that he will not have to resort to tricks and subterfuges to make both ends meet. Thirdly, Iugh salaries make 1t possible for an official to devote all of his time, thought and energy to the cause for which he is working, so that he will not have to devote part of his time, thought and energy to preaching, lec- turing, writing, tutoring, teaching and running a small business on the side to make both ends meet. Thus we see that the principle underlying high éalaries is a wholesome one. The only thing to be arranged, then. is » balance between the high salaries and the income of the organi- zation. ROBES AND TITLES Then, again, much has been said pro and con regarding creating dtdkes and knights and wearing gorgeous robes of scarlet and purple, splotched with green. Here, again, s wholesome principle underlies the wearing of these robes and the conferring of titles and honors. The caly thing to be argued about is the question of taste and propriety in ‘wearing the proper robes and conferring the proper titles and honors. Liman cutccie at tiie co uonon to read of an creating dukes and knights and clothing its high officials in resplendent robes. But the instinct of herd worship, the instinct to admire and approve of trantcendént ability, character, achievement and gervice is deeply planted in human nature. Why do we celebrate the Birthday.of Jesus Christ, Christopher Columbus, George Washington or Abraham Lincoln? Not only for the purpose of perpetuating their fremmory, but also for the purpose of inspiring the youth of the world rand: of the land by thelr example. To reward human service and _ Sheourage others to emulate their example is the principle underlying " @bGieelebrating of the birthdays of distinguished men, raising heroes and “@égthsinen to the peerage and the conferring of honorary degrees by sunlvettities and colleges.

But there is also another point of view. Twenty-five years ago colored men could be found doing business on a small acale as farmers, contractors, caterers, barbers and grocery store and restaurant proprietors. They did very well as retail dealers. They did not, however, attempt manufacturing on a large scale. This is not true today, however. Nearly « quarter of a century ago Mr. Coleman started a cotton mull near Concord, N C., which had its ups and downs like similar enterprises conducted by Caucasians. Today there are three mannfacturing lines along which colored men have done very well. These are soda water, cigars and toilet prepa- rations. About twenty years ago a gentleman in Brunswick, Ga., started to manufacture coco cola and soda water, and supplied both white and colored stores Last summer the Ideal Bottling Company of New York manufactured ginger beer and the Whip, which had a large sale. Mr Burden of Indianapolis, Ind, now manufactures Dalo, a fruit drink. And today in New York City Mr Lino Giro, Mr Aguilar, the Fanning Brothers and the Gold Dollar Cigar Manufacturing Company manufac- ture cigars of class and quality Berry & Ross set up a doll manufactory, which has recently been purchased by the ) NI A. But the Negro’s most successful venture m manufacturing has been along the line of hair and toilet preparations. The late Mme C J Walker of New York and Mrs Aaron Malone of St Lous. Mo, with ‘her Poro preparations, each scattered agents throughout the country ‘and reaped a fortune through preparations for beautifying the hair But two colored gentlemen—Mr Overton of Chicago and Mr | R Wiggins of New York Citv—are manufacturing chemists who not only ‘manufacture hair tonics, but also other toilet articles. Mr J R Wiggins was born in Georgia, studied in a college of ‘pharmacy and served with a company in Fifth avenue, New York For [Uhucteen veats he was a manufacturer for Hudson & Co of 489 Fifth avenue New York City Several years ago he established himself as manufacturing chemist at 1914 Broadway, New York City Recently he set up another office at 224 West 135th street, assisted by Lewis J Warner a former student of Howard University When we consider that Wiggins & Warner not only manufacture hair tonics, but also face lotions, sulphur creatns, shaving cream, tooth powder, tooth paste, bath powsler, shampoo pow- ‘der and jelly, toilet water and perfumes and a quinine tonic, we can readsly sce that they have lifted themselves to the category of manu facturing chemists Competition 1s now so keen that a man may make a good Iving out of retail business, but he usually only becomes wealthy through four means busing at wholesalgand seling at retail, digging mto the soil and brirging up gold, silver, diamonds, coal and copper, or boring into the sel and bringing up ot, turning the raw product ito the manufactured artiie, and*transporting goods by rail or water ‘the field for the colored manufacturer 1s almos: hmatiess He heeds to master chenustry in all its branches and apply that knowledge to turning the manutactured arhele out of the raw product [tis to be hoped, also, that in the near future colored men will venture mto the held as cotton manufacturers.

In referring to an article in the Black Dispatch' of April 20, 1922 which bore the title, Africa or Anywhere, by Dudley Dudley-Hoverson the anywhere was meant for Mexico and as I am a resident of Mexico what she has said makes me believe that she is one woman of the Negro race being used by some one of the white race, in the same way that the monkey used the cat in taking the nuts from the fire. First, she says that a trip of eight seeing will not bring back all of the solid information that the people ought to have before pulling up stakes, that it will not reveal the moral conditions of the people as to their environment to lift or lower the children of our homes. I would like to ask Is the moral condition in the States such as to lift them? If so according to the customs and states brought here I must say that the Mexicans are quite above them. Second, she mentioned the titles of the land as to whether good or not. We all know that there are good and bad titles the world over. No one should go into a land deal with his eyes closed even in the U.S. All titles should be investigated before purchasing land. As concerning the civil conditions we have had revolution over the years and more of it I was here when the first shot was fired and have served under several different leaders and can say that a coined man is safer here in the midst of the revolution than he is in what you call peaceful times in the States. The only ones that are in danger here are the ones that try to mobilize political affairs. The Mexicans that you see who compain of industrial affairs perhaps were fugitives from justice revolutionists or the like louferer and his crowd could not stay in heaven but industrial conditions was not the cause. I believe the homekeepers without it first of all will investigate the mate the markets, the facilities of corporation to the markets, etc. once they should as she says be minded with ignorance superstitious poverty and finally death. Let us as did R. H. Bowers in 1830 it rather for us to be here. When I the Negro gather the courage to and act this phrase. Give me or give me death. Now concerning the Chief Sam movement—it was a failure Yes, but what of that? Is that the first failure ever made by a race? I say no Napoleon at first made a failure, but did he stop and go up? Indeed not he arose above that mastake and became the world's greatest warrior Men may rise to higher things, on stepping stones of their dead serves. Let the race rise on such mistakes If at first you don't succeed try try again God not put shaping the Negro for moving as she has said, it is quite to the contrary. If she has the knowledge of the Scripture she would recall that there were more kings destroyed for sparing what God had told them to destroy, then anything else He has said that my word shall not return unto me void. He also says Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hand unto God (Paulus 68 31 and the 9th verse of the 2d chapter of the same book, says they that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust. This fever of an exodus is not madness, as D Houston has said. The critics of the Hebrews said the very same thing in the time of Moses. Who knows but that this Marcus Garvey is the chosen leader for the race at this age? In speaking of the people of this exodus that the prudent are the only ones that are in for it, even the life and property of white mened men of the U S.

Houstin. Yes because the white man is lord of the States is no reason that he is the world over. If not for his much money he would fare far worse in Mexico than the Negro in the States. Never attempt to compare the whites with the blacks in Mexico, for the Mexicans do not look at them as the same people. They call the whites gringoes, which means suckers, but you never heard of them calling a coedored man that The softening of property stock money and the like by Villa was mentioned, she further adds that it is like changing the devil for the deep sea to leave the States to come to Mexico. When they put up a sign on your property in the States, giving you twenty-four hours to leave or you are taken out and whipped by the K K. K and told to leave the place can Villa beat that? Oh, that our people shall not get the sitt of D Houston who says that I would rather trust to an occasional race not than to live under the fright of internal revolution. I have lived in the revolution and have never had the fear of the arrival of the bloodhounds, or that some Negro in the locality would be seized and lynched or if there was a case in court there was never the fear of a mob taking the law in hand to do as they thought best making the law of no effect. You may call the Mexicans unilicensed highly unmoaled and inferior of the Americans, but even in the revolution you will not see such brutish, heartless ways of punishment as are performed in the States. D Houston says that we could not live in peace and harmony with the Mexicans, because they are our inferiors, which I can contradict. If the whites are our superiors as they call themselves) and we cannot live with them why cannot we live with our inferiors? Why must the men who lead the negroes out have not sufficient money to put in railroad tracks, as she says. Were the leaders of the territory movement able to put in a railroad? I say no but they made dirt roads, and they can do the same in Mexico and Africa. I will ask. What is the hope of Drusilla Houston?" I suppose that she thinks that the white people will get tender hearted and let up on the Negro. She may live in hope but I think she will die in despair. Dr Brown, in the "Literary Digest" of January 7, 1922 in speaking of "Why Japan Took Korea," says. I believe the balance inclines heavily in favor of the Japanese. I do not defend some of the things they have done. I sympathize with the Koreans, they would be unworthy of respect if they did not prefer their national freedom. For that reason I will say that the Negroes who are in the U. S. A. all are contented to remain there under the present conditions should be and reflect AN OPEN LETTER TO · PROF. WILLIAM PICKENS Dear Sir — I have listened to and read with much interest all your utterances from the time I first saw you in this city five years ago, and have sized you up then as I do now, as a man who means well but does not understand the Negro problem in the United States or in any other part of the world. If you did you would have been willing to trade with your enemy until you are able to make him your footstock. I am beginning to think that an educated Negro is dangerous in any white man a country when he uses his education for the purpose you are using yours. The publication of your invitation to the court reception of the U N I A, and your refusal to accept same on the grounds that you would not have anything to do with an organization that is seeking alliance with the Ku Klux Klan. The invitation to receive an honorable distinction for meritorious work at the hands of your race is something that you ought to be proud of and should have humbled yourself by accepting same. But it appears as is you feel yourself greater than the race to which you belong. If you admit that you do belong to it. When you said Mr. Garvey's utterances admit that he is seeking an alliance with the Ku Klux Klan, I would either say that you do not understated English or that you are out to lie. In the benefit of something which you are afraid you would lose on account of your recent activities in spreading propaganda which was that of the U N I A. and not that of the N A I A. C P. Your address delivered at the Drudg Hill Avenue Branch of the Y M C A. of this city at which Dean Kelly Miller, who preceded you in speaking, was present, spoke of the principles of the U N I A. but made reference to it as a certain organization. But when you had gained the floor you said boldly that it was the U N I A. (Dean Kelly Miller speaks as if he was afraid to call the organization's name). You also upheld the principles of the U N I A. and spoke of it in glowing terms, and you further stated that there were people who were continually knocking the organization: that if there were any mistakes, these mistakes were for its success in the future. You also said that it was the only organization started by Negroes for their economic emancipation and owned by them, and that we cannot expect to accomplish anything by having members of other races leading us and that if there was anything wrong we should go into the organization and help straighten it out. Was it all talk? Some time ago a certain gentleman Captain C. R. Moneys and she will leave New York City on the 18th for Key West. asked you through the columns of one of our weekly periodicals what side of the fence you were on, and the Negro World answered in your behalf that you were on the right side of the fence. But now it appears as if you have jumped off the fence for fear of being seen and looked upon too much by the head officials of the association that employs you, and by that you will lose your bread I butter. From your heart I believe that you are with the principles of the L. N. L. A., because you said so. GREAT CONVENTION BY GREAT PEOPLE AT A GREAT TIME By AIR ROBERT J. PORTON ARE NEGRO SCHOLAR LOSING THE POKEEN AND TRUE By WILFRED L. Cam Now, don't be a parasite. Let me advise you that the N.I.A. can give you a better job than the one you now hold, because you will be able to go into any State in the Union and you will have no fear of being lynched (as you had to leave Louisiana on that account some time ago) when you are organizing the Negroes on their own plan as when you are trying to organize on the white man's plan. Now about the Black Star Line don't be silly. You claim that Mr. Garvey is getting ready to make another blunder like he did handling the Black Star Line. If you believe that Negroes are as capable of doing anything as other human beings then you should believe that they are capable of running a steamship line, if you recognize them to be human beings. Mr Garvey did not throw away the people's money, as you are trying to get them (the people) to believe Those responsible for the wasting of the people's money were the men who were employed by the board of directors and those elected to office in spite of Mr Garvey's protest as to the incapability of some of these men. Time will not afford me to explain to you how failure of a steamship company can come about with inefficient and disloyal and insubordinate employees such as Negroes are to their own enterprise for which I am awfully sorry, for it might enlighten you. Now if these men did not perform their duties with loyalty and devotion to their race, and made the corporation buy a rotten ship, by accepting a bribe from the seller and also managed the affairs of the ship for their own personal gain when they were employed and placed in charge, with a more lucrative position from their own race than they can get from the white man, whose fault is it? Is that Mr Garvey a fault? I should say not. Trusting in the near future that I may have the privilege of seeing you identified with the L. N. L. A., that you may be able to stop us continuing our alliance with the notorious organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, which is contrary to our knowledge and wishing you continued success on your new stand, I beg to remain.

GREAT CONVENTION BY GREAT PEOPLE AT A GREAT TIME BY SIR ROBERT L. POTHON Secretary General of the U. N. I. A. We met in Ne York during the month of August and fought out our battles at the Third International Convention. We fought out these battles upon principle, accepting our lot like those accustomed to the rules of the game. None of us got all we wanted, though some of us got more than others. Much is life in whatever aspect we take it. In the conflict of ideas like in physical combat there must be ascendency Some viewpoint must win. The winners are declared because they win to their side the majority verdict. Time events in the words of the President General in his closing address, may reverse the order but our present duty is to support those who have the confidence of the people—the present administration This of all conventions was a noteworthy one. Men will remember it as that convention where everybody had a voice, when strong things were said in strong language, but where the universal sense of fair play prevailed at all times. The future may hold other conventions more pretentious, but we question whether the world will ever behold one more worthy. The race was saved during August 1922, and the greatest stride in the direction of African redemption was taken then. Critics may howl, the estly inclined may think a curse, but we who sat through those thirty-one days in August know just what it meant to this race of ours. The administrative year of 1922-23 will see great changes wrought in the attitude of the Negro throughout the world. He shall not be content to receive the crumbs from anybody's table, but he shall possess the loaf from which the crumbs fall. He shall set no limit to his endeavors, except that so, by the Creator Himself. He shall be a man among men, and this largely because of the attitude of the delegates at the Third International Convention. The calamity howlers are going to be greatly disappointed. The little professional uplifters are going to receive the loft of their lives, for the great machinery of this association, set in motion following the rising of the convention, is going to do its work. Nothing in the form of man can stop this righteous cause. We pity the foolish, misguided mongers of words who think that they can stand on the street corner or in the cabaret halls (as was the case with those boys of the advancement association) and arrest the course of God. In the beginning God created all men equal. The inequality of man was never intended. It must go the way of all wrong and the fatal blow was struck at the Third International Convention Why some Negroes would be so blind as to want a continuation of the system which makes us slaves, we cannot see. They see the destructive tendency of the times. They see our inability to cope with it in our present condition, yet they are too cowardly to strike out on their own initiative. They hug the delusive phantom hope in the face of certain disaster. Shall we be longer led by such blind stupidity? Delegates of the Third International Convention answered 'No Let the Negroes universally recoach this answer and Africa will be free A NEW BALANCE OF POWER BEING DEVELOPED BY U. N. I. A. & A. C. L By J. JACKSON TILFORD Throughout Negro communities, often called Black Bolts, in cities with large Negro populations like New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, etc., there is being developed a new balance of power, fostered by local divisions of the African Communities League, creating and developing Negro enterprises, making for ownership and control of all Negro business in all Negro communities where Negroes are in the majority Negro business men professional men and politicians who have been hostile to the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and who are dependent on the masses of Negroes for their support and patronage and who are cognizant of the fact that the Universal Improvement Association is now controlling the masses of Negroes everywhere, have begun to line up with the organization to protect themselves and their business, fearing a boycott. The real balance of power in Negro community politics, community enterprises, community commercialism and community patronage and buying power, lies within that organization which is controlling the masses and is the masses and consumer throughout the different African communities in the States, and that organization is the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Common sense exercised by Negro politicians, Negro ministers and Negro professional and business men, who have not linked themselves up with this organization, might avoid serious failures and business depression that might be brought on by indifference and disloyalty to the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League where in nearly every community there exists a balance of economic political and commercial power owned and controlled by this organisation through their numbers if they should be forced to apply $ \nu $ PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL AND BOOKER WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MDA The Phyllis Wheatley Hotel and Booker Washington University of this Universal Warehouse is the provement Association, 8-13 West 136th Street, New York City, Will Re Garner, Ontario, Canada, the 81st Inst.

GRIFFITH Cambridge, Mass. In perusing the column of the "Boston Chronicle of July 19 I came across an interesting news item under the caption, "Marcus Garvey Offers Pickens Title." Mr Garvey it seems, on the instruction of the Executive Council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, invited Prof. William Pickens to attend the third international convention of the association, where he would receive certain honors or titles which would be conferred by the Hon. Gabriel Johnson. Potential of the association for certain exemplary work which it thought he (Prof. Pickens) may have done for the cause Afric. In declining the honor, Mr Pickens made mention of Mr Garvey's speech relative to his interview with the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and said I cannot feel myself quite bad enough to accept any honor or alliance with such an organization as the Klan or the Black Hand Society I would rather be damned or murdered by such an organization than be honored or rewarded by it. The U N I A. I is not (or at least has not hereofo been rewarded as) in a class with those criminal organizations, but I gather from your recent plain remarks that you are now indorsing the Ku Klux Klan or at least conceding the justice of its aim to crush and repress colored Americans and incidentally other racial and religious groups in the United States. You compare the aim of the Klan with your aim in Africa, and if that be true, no civilized man can indorse either of you." I have the full text of Mr Garvey's speech concerning the Klan before me. and I find in it such expressions as these. The Ku Klux Klan is a worthy organization in the opinion of the white leaders of this country. it has no apology to make as far as its program for white supremacy is concerned. I interviewed the Imperial Wizard to find out the attitude of the Klan toward the Negro. While the Klan desires to make America absolutely a white man country the U N I A desires to see Africa absolutel, a black man a country. The Klan is carrying out the purity of the white race down South, and we are going to carry out the purity of the black race not only down South, but all through the world. I told the Imperial Wizard if the Klan in America was going to outrage Negroes because they are black we may return the compliment somewhere because some other people do not look like us. Mr Clark, the Imperial Wizard, said. We would like to see a great Negro organization with which we could enter into negotiations and understanding to solve the question of race, and especially the social question of race. Now, as far as I can see (and I believe my eyesight to be just as good as the learned Professor's) there is absolutely no ground for the fallacious idea that Mr Garvey is endeavoring to form an alliance with the Klan or is backing down from his stand of African freedom and independence. Fortunately for this race of ours, it has in Mr Garvey a leader quite different from the chicken-hearted, spectacled, weak-kneed parasites and puppets of a gone days, who danced whenever the white man pulled the strings. How anyone with such a keen analytical mind as the esteemed Prof Pickens could misinterpret Mr Garvey's article is a mystery. I would say Mr Pickens had not seen the article and so has a wrong conception of it, were it not for the fact that he also has such an erroneous and distorted idem of the U N I A's program of 'Africa for the Africans'. Many of us would like to be fair but, unfortunately, because of our friends Courses of Instruction in the Following Subjects: STENOGRAPHY, TOUCH TYPEWRITING, BOOKKEEPING, ENGLISH, ARITHMETIC, MATHEMATICS, SPELLING, FOREIGN LANGUAGES Enroll Now! Day and Opening Classes and other considerations, we follow the line of least resistance. Mr. Garvey has time and again demonstrated his ability in attack and defence, therefore I hold no brief for him, but the Negroes of today cannot be fooled like those of fifty years ago and they do not think Marcos Garvey is right, they KNOW he is right. He has given his impressions of the Ku Klux Klan, and while he is not advocating the return of the North American, South American or West Indian Negroes to Africa, those Negroes are not the spinsters, deluded creatures our modern Socrates thinks they are. They have tasted the bitter dregs of Canadian democracy and whether they sojourn in various countries or go to Africa, they intend to work for the establishment of a great Negro government—a true democracy, from which they will expect protection and which will be accorded the respect of the other governments of the world. (Note—This article was sent to the Boston Chronicle," but the editor refused to publish it because he claimed it was too long. He advised me to send it to The Negro World.) NEGRO AND DEMOCRACY By J. R. AUSTIN There never was a time when the wel. informed mind of civilized man was less inclined to a worship of the unintelligent and slavish past, when past sanctions, beliefs, customs and institutions received less reverence or affection or were so readily surrendered for present effectiveness and the ideals and hopes of the future. All primitive peoples are stirred from their long alumber and isolation by visions of the larger possibilities which await mankind. On the ruins of decaying political and social institutions and of outworn creeds and worships they would erect a better accredited knowledge a more generally diffused happiness. The recent awakening of Japan in education, culture, science, wealth enlarging personal freedom and general welfare, and the spectacle of China a rebirth of unity, democracy and world brotherhood, are instances in point. There is no such possibility today as an arrested or static condition in the life of a nation. It must go forward or stagger backward and die. For the Negro to shout out the light of modern intercourse, knowledge, science, culture, invention, trade and international friendship, and to become a race of peasants and serfs, scratching the earth with sticks and toiling wearily at the bottom of democracy's ladder, is to become estranged from the other peoples of the earth, to awaken their contempt and cupidity and to fall at last a victim to their oppressors in state and church or to powerful and unscrupulous exploiting groups. Furthermore, so to speak, the Negroes owe it to the other peoples of the world to make known to them the riches of their thought, their profound speculations on the nature and purpose of the creation, the beauties of their ancient literatures and arts, and to receive from them in return their energy of character, their practical sense and organizing power, their sciences and arts, their democratic spirit, their higher valuation of women, their sympathy with the degenerated classes and optimistic faith in the coming unity of races and brotherhood of mankind. For Negroes to raise these international exchanges of sentiment and service would be a disaster and a crime. Not that way lies his salvation. But to press forward with intelligent, united purpose, availing himself of every science, knowledge, instrumentality and alliance which the time will yield him, co-operating wherever possible with other nations and peoples, not too impatient, hiding the best time, seizing the opportunity and securing self-government, freedom and equal rights, as the Egyptians, and now Ireland, won it—in a more peaceful way, let us hope. So will Negroes gain what they urgently need and so richly deserve—their freedom, self-government and equal rights—while assuring also their inherited treasures of virtue, faith, intellectual keenness and their rightful share of the world's respect and cooperation. $750.00 If I Fail to Grow Hair!

Station J, Box 9, New York City BRANCH: DETROIT, MIKE ```markdown ``` THAT DOCTOR There are some among the "Superior Race" who find it an exceedingly difficult matter to render unto "Cassar the things that are Caesar's." So it appears was the case of the wealthy Mrs. Flint, whose husband acquired his wealth by usurious practices and salved his conscience three times a day on Sunday by reading after his rector the prayers and lessons in the Book of Common Prayer assisted by Mrs. Flint, who, with a puritanic smirk, seemed always to give the impression that she and her family were doing the Lord a service in devoting a few hours in praise and song once a week and in giving back some of their ill-gotten gains to civilise and Christianize the heathen in foreign lands. The Flints kept three family servants, a cook, a maid and a butter, the former a full black whom they had imported from the sea islands of B. C. where the sun shines hot. Their butter was also a South Carolinian with strongly marked Anglo-Saxon features and a dialect flavored with rice and Hopping John. They kept him chiefly because he was a first-class butter and knew his business and place, and like themselves, was the personification of piety, but, unlike them, he worshipped in a Baptist church of which he was head deacon. His name was Sillas, and when the Flints had company, which was quite often, Sillas furnished a good deal of amusement for his employers and their guests by his quaint answers to questions with which they piled him concerning his life in the South. He always referred to his former master as "the" and his mistress as "him." while all white folks were "buckra." Sillas had also one other good quality in the estimation of the Flints he didn't believe in Negro doctors or in Negro lawyers. The Flints encouraged him in this, for they, too, had small respect for either the literary or professional Negro, and they considered Sila a "very intelligent darky." Mr Flint, who was a politician, often consulted him concerning the political activities of his race and frequently advised him as to what men in his judgment his race should put forward for delegates to the local conventions. Bob Jones the garbage man; Dan Lucua, the night watchman at the town hall; Bill Gudgins, who looked after the private residences in the absence of their owners during the most influential and intelligent Negroes in the town, and his indulgence of these men was usually conveyed in a letter to the pastor of the colored Baptist church, which was sent about a week before the convention and always contained his check for $50 and two or three full pages of eulogium of these Negroes, who also were members of this church. Thus the voters got their cue, and when the time for the election of delegates to the county convention arrived they knew exactly for whom to vote to represent their wishes. Now, there were several other Negroes in the town, a colored lawyer, doctor, dentist and a small merchant who ran a notion store in the Negro section, and a number of others who were fairly well to do, having saved and invested their earnings and purchased their own homes, and they had built up quite a respectable community. But Sillas told Mr. Flint that these Negroes were trying to be white: that the doctor never visited the Baptist church; that his wife was stuck up and only spoke to certain women of the race in town and never visited among the women who worked in private families. Mr. Flint told Sila this was an awful indictment of the better class of his race, but did not tell him, of course, that the same feeling existed among the better class of whites toward the poorer and more ignorant; that the wives of the white street sweeper and barroom keeper were not considered the social equals of the wives of the white bankers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, etc. But there was a reason for Mr. Flint's silence on this point. Silas, poor, ignorant soul, saw only one side of Mr. Flint's argument against the better class of the black race. He was willing and quick to believe that things unequal to the same things are equal to the things that are really equal to each other. In his blindness he could not see the incongruity of the intermingling of crude and finished minds on terms of equality and that no real equality could exist between such minds—man is mind, but the man whose mind has been cultivated is the superior man, intellectu- ally. The uncultivated man is not infrequently superior in moral stamina and is all the homely virtues to the man of intellect, for it not seldom hampers that the wider intellectual knowledge gives its possessor opportunities for stepping aside from the path of right and using his knowledge to conceal his misfortunes—to cover up his crime against society. It is then that his less fortunate brother looms as his superior in the qualities that make for honest and virtuous manhood. One hundred trained soldiers can neatly put to rest 280 untrained civilians. Two educated men are superior to ten uneducated men in manliness. Miller licked, however, did not bend this height. He was unable or unwilling, or perhaps both, to admit that he educated man of his own race had so a pair with those of any other race that all things being equal, He himself had always been a servant, had always been taught to how in humble education to the will of the white man he took upon him as a superintendent of the republic of India where he believed was impossible to himself, by any Negro who should be placed in the positions. He knowing that these high stations in life were necessarily to white faith. superior the day far the the app Mr. Ma his and same a her his in the byted by amirk. mission ing the hours and in gotten ze the server. the and im- buter Some invisible force struck him in the region of his kidneys and knocked him full length on the dining-room floor together with a trayful of the Flint costliest imported china which he was taking to the pantry. The noise of his fall and the crush of broken china aroused the household, and the first person on the scene was madame who on beholding her servant in that position has烈ly concluded that he had been dallying with the family wines and liquora, with which the cellar was well stuck—when she beheld her fine china smashed beyond hope of recovery or repair she stamped her dainty foot and said something about the stupid carelessness of darky servants. At this juncture Mr Flint, having finished his morning paper, came in, and Bilas groaned. "What's the matter. Bilas!" he asked, stopping down to him, for Bilas was weak. "Mah back him broke, sah. Mah kidney done bust." He has been drinking," said Mrs. Flint, "and has fallen and broken all of my fine cups and saucer. Mr Flint, who was now suspicious, stooped down again and asked Billas how it happened, and stooped low enough to get the range of his breath Billas answered weakly that as he was taking the tray of china from the dining table to the pantry something seemed to strike him in the region of the kidney and knocked him down. Mr Flint arose and said quietly to madam "There is no smell of liquor on his breath. The fellow has kidney trouble. We must send for a doctor at once." "But our doctor is out of town," said Mrs Flint. "Yes, that is so," said he. "I remember he told me he was going to New York today." "Then I suppose," said Mrs. Flint. "we will have to send for that darky doctor. We must do something quickly for Silas, as it will soon be time for luncheon and he hasn't gotten through with half of his morning's work." Silan groaned again and turned over on his left side. This time Mrs. Flint stoooped down to him and asked him the name of that colored doctor and where he lived. Silas opened his eyes wide and said "Ah hopes you-all ain't gwine to send for dat man to ten'ma. He ain't no doctor. He jeat calls hisself one. I don't want no doctor 'cepn Dr G—, our family doctor. Mr and Mrs. Flint exchanged smiles at this, and Mr. Flint told Silas that Dr Gray was out of town and would not be back till late, that he, Silas, was in a bad way and I required immediate help. "Oh, well, den in dat case yo' all kin sen for him (another groan), but I clar ahn't got no faith whatsum-ever in dose nigghah doctors!" Mrs. Flint looked up Dr McDendon's address in the telephone book, and BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN BRUCE GRIT ON NEGRO SOCIETY The question we are met to consider must be approached with much care and caution in order to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings as to the purpose and meaning of the attempt We are called on as a committee to devise some plan or scheme to change the old social order now existing, which takes no account of the character or the moral standing of those who now constitute what is called Negro society, which is now, for the most part, a heterogeneous aggregation of good, bad and indifferent, with and without brains, culture, refinement or character. One may attend almost any ordinary social function in this and in other large cities and meet the well-dressed professional gambler, the equally well-dressed demi-monde, the man who polishes one's shoes in the morning, the lady who does your family wash, the virtuous daughters of a respectable and refined family and young men of highly moral habits who are just breaking their way into society. These and other types of the worst and the best of our race are indiscriminately thrown together socially, with the result they do not and cannot reach a common level because of the uncommon barriers in their way. The gambler, the racehorse tout, the bootkick the waiter and the dressed demi-monde cannot discuss with the well-informed college professor or the learned theologian or the up-to-date school mistress any of the questions with which they are more familiar than with gambling, horse racing, shoe blacking, etc. About the only thing in such a gathering of Negroes, which they can enjoy in common is dancing, and not always that, for it not infrequently happens that the character or style of dancing most enjoyed by the hot poll is repulsively suggestive to refined tastes and woofly degrading. We must therefore endeavor to find a way to improve this condition in the interest of pure morals and discourage this indiscriminate social intermingling of the worst of us and the best of us. It is an exceedingly difficult task, but we believe if the reforms so sought to be made in this direction begin in the good homes of the race a good start will have been made to evict by a process of elimination all undesirable social elements whose only claims to recognition is their good clothes, their musty and their festive social standing. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1922 finding it called him up telling him that her Negro boy, Hilas (48 years of age) was quite sick and to come at once. The maid would admit him at the basement door Dr McDendon politely informed Mrs Flint that he was a reputable practising physician, and that he was not in the habit of accepting calls from people who directed him to kitchen and basement doors, that if she wished to engage his services for her servant he must enter her house through the same door as her own family physician, otherwise he must respectfully decline to accept the call. My self respect, madam, impels this course "Oh!" she said "you may come but please wipe your feet good before you enter. Dr McDendon laughed and said, 'I will be up immediately madame good-bye.' In twenty minutes Dr McDendon was seated in the Flint reception room, awaiting the summons to go to the relief of his black patient. Presently madam entered, he arose, bowed and said "good morning." "Oh, you are that Dr McDendon," she said. "I am Dr McDendon, madam, and am here in response to a telephone call from Mrs Flint—you are Mrs Flint" "Yes," she said, somewhat haughtily "I am Mrs Flint" "Where is the sick man?" asked Dr McDendon Follow me," she said, leading the way to her fine dining room where Silas lay on the floor groaning with a chair cushion for a pillow under his head. The doctor asked if the man might not be placed on a large couch in the reception room as then he could examine him more satisfactorily. The maid was called and she and the doctor endearced to lift him Silas was a man weighing 100 pounds. They up the job. Then Mr. and Mrs. Flint assisted and Mrs. Flint sprained her left arm in the effort and almost let Silas' head, which she was carrying fall as they passed with the body to the reception room where they placed it on a couch, to the infinite relief and disgust of madame. The women retired and Dr McDendon and Mr Flint looked after the patient. The doctor asked him a number of questions, had him describe his symptoms just before he fell etc., and diagnosed the case as one of acute kidney trouble. He prescribed a liquid medicine and recommended a plaster, advised him to drink plenty of water and to avoid spirituous liquors. Calling for a spoon he gave him a dose of liquid out of a bottle from his medicine case, the after effect of which was good for Silas, for in about an hour he was up and around and almost as spry as he was before the catastrophe. Meanwhile, the maid had returned from the druggist with the liquid medicine and plaster, the latter the doctor applied to Silas back admonishing him not to remove it several weeks, and to take the medicine regularly according to directions. The maid had to do Silas' work that day, in addition to her own and she opinion only that it will be extremely difficult to arrive at any satisfactory solution of this question of social betterment except through the media of the home, and it therefore respectfully recommends that it be left for settlement by the people of our race who are directly affected by the present law methods which make our present social habits and customs what they are and should be in this, the light and blake and glory of twentieth century progress and civilization. Our recommendations therefore are 1. That the reforms here sought begin in the good homes of the race. 2. That our youths be instructed by their parents to observe all the rules of good breeding in their contact with others. 3. That they teach them respect for their elders, courtesy to the aged and to honor their fathers and mothers. to honor their fathers and mothers. 4. That they be taught to emulate the good examples in matters social of all races and to study the social customs of the Japanese, especially the attitude of the young toward those of ripe years. The question is largely one of geography; i.e., no fixed rule can be established to guide the people of all sections. There are forms of courtesy among all peoples, and it is expressed in different ways though they mean the same thing in the last analysis. We Negroes should establish our own social forms and strive to impress our young people with the idea that courteous, clean speech, correct manners and good character are the hall-marks of true ladies and gentlemen. We still believe these are matters which can safely be left to the Christian homes of our race for final solution. THE WILLS-DEMPSEY FIGHT As we expected, the not unexpected has happened. According to the daily newspapers a hitch has arisen in the arrangements for this fight which indicates that it may not be pulled off in this State on account of certain cash guarantees demanded by the Boxing Commissioner from both fighters which are prohibitive, and a further demand that the prices to be charged to see the fight shall range from $8 for ordinary seats to $15 for special seats. This is a good way to prevent Wills from extending himself and a fine big loophole for Dempsey to jump through to avoid trying conclusions in the fastie area with his durdy rival. was not altogether pleased with the assignment As the doctor was leaving, madam, who had retired to her little hall sitting room called him. She was nursing her arm which was giving her great pain. How much is your bill?" she asked I charge $2 for outside call, $1 when patients call on me" he said.

Do you wish me to examine your arm, madame?" asked he. "Certainly" she replied, "and you will be the first Negro doctor I have ever had to attend me. Our Dr Grey is out of the city today, perhaps you can do something to ease the pain." I will try madame," said the doctor taking hold of her arm and looking at it critically. "This is merely a little local trouble madame he said, and he began to massage the arm from the shoulder down and suddenly he gave it a sharp jerk which caused madame to emit a cry of pain, which ceased as suddenly as it came. You have only twisted the muscles of your arm madame. Your pain will be entirely gone in a few minutes. Then he took a small phial containing a lintiment from which he took a few drops and rubbed the lady a brinkly kneading the flesh like dough. When he had finished she was all smiles, for he had told her the pain would cease in a few minutes and this last operation had removed every symptom of pain "I declare this is simply wonderful said madame, swinging her arm to and fro as she spoke "I did not believe I would be able to use my arm again for a week, and here comes along a Negro doctor who in less than twenty minutes has almost performed a miracle However did you do it" she asked wonderingly. "Oh, it was simple madame It only required a common sense knowledge of physiology, a little skill in manipulating the muscles, a little heroism on the part of the patient and some vigorous rubbing to get the muscles back into their proper place." "Well, you deserve great credit doctor You are a credit to your race. I confess that I was prejudiced and that I had no faith in Negro doctors, but you have converted me You have skill culture and ability I have been mistaken I confess it" "You are very frank, madame and I honor you for it. If I have been the means of changing your opinion respecting the professional capacity of my race I am very glad to have been the medium through whom the message is now to be delivered." said the doctor "I am going to give you what my doctor would have charged me for the same service, Dr. McDendon $25 and if I again need your services in my family I will not hesitate to call you up" "I thank you madame, both for the class I represent and for myself personally. I have the honor to say good afternoon to you, as I have an important surgical operation to perform at 2:30 today." Mrs Flint areas, extended her hand and preceded the colored doctor to the front door, opened it wide and bowed him out with queenly grace, holding the door open till he had reached the pavement when she said in her most choiceful voice, "Good afternoon, doctor." The doctor lifted his hat in acknowledgment, bowed and hastily proceeded to his next patient. At the Flint residence that day Dr McDendon was discussed from every angle Mrs. Flint led the discussion. Silva, who was recovered sufficiently to wait on the guests, heard every word of it and agreed with the opinions expressed about this Negro because they came from the mouths of his employer Dr McDendon was an exception, he was different, and Silva took off his coat after that and became a McDendon booster. He even had the doctor designated as the medical examiner of his lodge and sometimes got sick accidentally on purpose so that he could call him up Mrs Flint no longer allowed to him as "That doctor" but as Dr McDendon, our Negro physician."

Race of mine, the question of the world. From out the tangled mass Of human knot and snarl Came those who have a standard misled Which shall last for years to come. You by falsity have not abraised No land beneath the sun. But from their fields, their mounts and vales. Both worthy and sublime. Have drained the swamps and blast the hills In every land and clime. Tis true your face of ebony. For you the worst suspects; But don't forget to watch and pray. And God will do the rest. Your poor black hands have soothed the brow Of the infant white and fair; And as you sung your lullaby In strains of music there. Drove every childish fret afar And away to the land of "nod" So you could find a quiet hour To commune and talk with God The ages come, the years unfold. Some grasp your selfish power, But to read the History of old They fall in the crucial hour From out the gates of Paradise Poor Eve and Adam trod Till Christ He made the sacrifice And bought us by His blood. No matter whether noon or night, In faithful, fervent prayer, For your deliverance to come You'll find that God is there; You will then add to the Wonders That the world has never seen TENNIS TOURNAMENT A tennis tournament, Titan A.

Text For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this. Esther, 414. I do not know of a more effectual appeal ever being made than this by Mordecai to Queen Esther Mordecai's burning words turned a young, flippant girl into a great national heroine. An appeal so pungent must re pay us to study. 1 Mordecai thought of the necessity of his age. He speaks of "this time." Does that demonstration really demonstrate? What were the features to which it points? Further, he uses the expression, "such a time as this." Evidently he recognized that his age had marks and characteristics of a peculiar kind. What were they? They are implied, in the statement, "then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews." Mordercail's age was one of tragic necessity. The Jews, God's chosen race, were doomed to massacre. All through the Great Persian Empire they were to be exterminated. Verily "this time" was a dreadful time "Such a time as this" was an age in which it was an agony for a righteous man to live. The awful necessity is well expressed in the words 'enlargement and deliverance'. Enlargement is rendered relief in the R V, but a glance at the margin of the A V shows that the original word is very vivid—it is 'respiration'. The Jews were so crowded in upon by their remorselessoes that they could scarcely draw a breath their persecutors pressed upon them till they gnasped, they surely needed "respiration" breathing space. The clamant necessity of the age was that Gods people should have room to breathe, and that they should have deliverance from their oppressors. Now, Mordecer contemplated this bitter necessity. He gazed upon it till his eyes were a fountain of tears. He studied the situation till the iron entered into his very soul. This tremendous appeal to Queen Esther sprang from his realization of the appalling need of his age. That is the point at which all beneficent revolutions have taken inception. Mordecal began where all great reformers begin Jesus contemplated the world's great need and he fled with joyful hate to our relief Oliver Cromwell contemplated a religious need for England and unsoothe his sword and battled for the right. All noble reformations begin in the thought of the necessity of the age. 2 Mordecal recognized a Temptation to Ignore the Necessity of His Age. 'If thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time. He saw that Esther was tempted to be silent amid the awful need of the times and silence would mean inaction. If Queen Esther maintained silence the Jews must be destroyed. If Queen Esther is silent, she will sin against her own soul.' There is a sinful silence "If he does not utter it, then he shall bear his insulty." We often bite our tongues because we have sinned in speech. But many have sinned by our silence. O the subtlety of sin. It infests our speech and our silence. Watch against a criminal silence. Do not fall to speak the needed word. Especially beware least in the presence of wrong you "all together hold" your "peace." Esther was tempted to a silence of Living Age "A tale so strange, so powerful, so unusual, that there is small difficulty in seeing why the ten members of the Academie Goncourt awarded it their prize" George U Cloud in St. Louis Argus: "There arises occasionally an epochal literary work, and Rene Maran, full-blooded African Negro, has given the world a piece of literature which will be read 500 years from now" Baltimore Evening Sun: "The force, the tremendous force and power of its simplicity, hammers upon one's mind like the beat of the tomtom which sounds throughout the text, and one realizes where its genius lies." Send Name and Address and We Will Deliver C. O. D. Parcel Post MINOR & PATTERSON, Distributors 232 West 135th Street NEW YORK CITY expediency She knew the Jews needed relief and deliverance, but she feared her position would be compromised if she spoke. Many of us today are slaves of expediency. Never speaking out for right, if our interests are to be in the least interfered with or abridged. Esther was tempted to a silence of selfishness. She knew her people were impelled, but she was free and happy. This type of silence is very common. We dread to speak lost our ease and enjoyment should suffer thereby. It is the acute remark of one of our present day writers that "times of great trouble often reveal the meanness of human nature." Nothing is meaner than to be silent in the presence of wrong for the sake of selfish comfort. 8. Mordental was assured that somehow the necessity of his age would be met. Suppose, Mordecal, that Esther refuses to speak the words the necessity demands. Then shall relief and deliverance arise unto the Jews from another place. He did not know what that place would be, but from some place the salvation would arise. Of that Mordecal was confident. He was optimist—one of the bravest optimists of Scripture. His superb optimism arose out of his faith. Whole-hearted reliance upon God is the secret of optimism. But how did this man reach such faith? I think it was due to his study of God's promises. He knew by the perusal of many rich and noble promises that God could not fall us even in the eleventh hour. 4. Mordecal was convinced that retribution must follow negligence. If Esther kept silent then she and her house would be destroyed. Retribution must ensue upon negligence. We cannot save our lives without at length losing them, they are "destroyed" who leave their duty undone. We need neither define nor describe the destruction. Sometimes it occurs in this life, it at times take the form of the overthrow of our temporal possessions; often it manifests itself in the open deterioration of character. But God has a bell of fire for the negligent even the side the veil. 5. Mordecal conceived of privilege as being providential opportunity. He intimates to Queen Eather that she has been exalted not for her sake but for the sake of others. God's g. are given that we might save the world. They are not signs of favoritism, but instruments of service. When God has caused us to come to the kingdom gratitude should constrain us to seek to bless our age. And the consciousness of being equipped by God should give us confidence in essaying our onerous task. Is your kingdom knowledge? You have the inestimable blessing of culture. Never were such helpers of the world more needed than now. Your knowledge is your opportunity; you have it in your power to meet the necessity of the age. Have you tact? That is your kingdom. You know how to do the right thing. You can manage men. You can plan and scheme. You have executive faculty. It is for such a time as this you have come into your kingdom. Or perhaps your kingdom is money! You are indeed needed. Every good cause needs money. Your privileges your God sent opportunity, but having none of these, and yet having the Grace of God in your heart, you have "come to the kingdom for such a time as this." You have what the world needs most. Go forth and publish glad tidings. Hold not your peace at this time. ```markdown ``` STR THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 . ore ‘A.

After some time certain differences arose which caused Mr. Shirley to separate himée:t from us ‘Thia work was carried on by the oM- cora who were left in command. The Legion was recognized in the conven- tion of August, 1920, when the office of Minister of Legion was created, 224 the Rt Hon. E L. Gaines elected thereto. The officers who started out with us have left our ranks; noverthe- less we are still bere after a hard struggle. This shows that the U.

These three unite worked in harmony with each other, p result of which we are here this evening. First, we must be proud of our Hon.

Interest rose to fever heat as veterans of the race riots in Chicago. East St Louis. Springfeld ‘Tulsa, Washington and elsowhere told how they had seen members of their race shot down like rabbits. Detogates Mstened witn pated breath as other delegates told of thelr narrow escape from mobs and exhibited scars they recelved in resisting the attecks of lynchera. Many of these horrible re- citals were told to the grim, quiet way of the man or woman who has looked death in the face. ‘The consensus of opinion as to the deah meane of stopping this great evi! wag for the Negroes to organise and te snswer the challenge of the mob with bombs and bullets. The ultimate remedy suggested was the bullding up of @ Negro republic strong enough to demgné@ protection for Negroes every- where. Legisiation as a remedy was thopght Uttle of. Gereral delegates aig ttt the authorities would enforce only those laws they wanted to. As an Gxample they pointed to the great teal in enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment and the great neglect of ‘the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. ‘The discussion was opened by the Hon.

W E. JOINER, President Charter 04, Bluefields, Nicaragua while « butcher plunged his knife into the boy's breast and pulled it all the way down. He recited several tales of atirring encounters between blacks and whites, and of the cowardice of the lynchers when the Negroes stood up to defend thempelves. Hon. J. Yowler, of Sallfornia, the next speaker, also “mphasized the ‘cowardice of the lyncbors. The Roose- veltian motto, “Speak softly and carry 2 Dig stick.” he found as the most of- fective means of preventing lynching. He told of @ raid of lynchers on the Jail in Cairo, 111, and how twenty-nine Getermined Negroes fought off the mob. killing three and wounding five, among whom was « son of one of the most prominent men In the clty, Hon. Mr. Glashen of Tennessee told of his narrow escape from lynching and how he had escaped only by hia facing the mob well armed and de- termined. Hon, Mr. Poston of New ‘York thought the meoting of force with force would not work well a: al) mes, since the Negro constituted « minority group. ‘The only way to stop Iyaching, ho said, ts to cstabush ourcetves in our motherland, Africa.

A. Williams of Oklahoma, told his terrible experiences. “The lyncher,” he said, “ls a man who has lost his common sense He does not care where you, stand, what your standing is, whether you are Innocent or guilty Hie sole thought and object is to get his victim and tear him to pisces or burn him.” The only cure for lynch- ing, be thought, would be to meet the lynchers with bullets here in America, bullding up meanwhile » great repub- Mo tp Africa. Meeting force with force was empha- sisea by Hon. H W. Kirby of Chicago, Ti. One of the characteristics of the white man be anid, ts to impose upon those who are unable to protect them- selves. Negroes ehould ge th thatr tgboratories and learn to make bombs to Sight of tynchers and other ag- greesors. ‘Hon.

N. I. A.-Holds Series of Interesting Meetings Made Great Impression Bluefields, Maragua, was stirred to the depths on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, August 6, 7 and 8, respectively, through the activities of Mr. R. T Brown, first vice-president of the Bliquirres (Costa Rica) Division No. 26, who passed through here on his way to represent Bliquirres and other allied Divisions at the Third International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. Mr Brown arrived here on Saturday evening at about 5 o'clock and lost no time in getting in touch with the officers of the U N I A. After presenting his credentials he offered his services to the officers in whatever way they could be used. The offer was gladly accepted by Brother W Jenkins president of Dax N. N. as well as by Brother J I. Brown so far as the absence of the president, Mr Felix S Brown, ex-president of Chapter No J was instrumental, in getting Mr R T Brown into touch with these officers and the members and other officers of the U N I A. At the Bluefields few very grateful for the great interest manifested by him. The meeting, the meeting of the division had been in progress a few minutes when Mr Brown was accompanied by the W.J. president of the division. The explain read the President-General weekly message a hymn was sung and then president in a short and interesting speech, then introduced Mr R. T Brown first president of the Squires Vista Rica division as the speaker of the evening. Mr Brown spoke of the pleasure he gave him to be privileged to address his fellow Negroes on the theme nearest and dearest to the hearts. The Freedom of the Negro and the Emigration of Africa. He took for the subject of his discourse. The point of the Age, graphically illustrating to his hearers how small groups of people in different parts of the continent of Europe had during the past few years asserted their right to the establishment of their own government and that their rights had been respected by the other nations of the world. He explained that these groups in Europe had been able to secure the establishment of their own government because of the fact that they were organized and were prepared to the last man to die rather than to give up their rights to self-determination. The speaker showed that the Negro was not behind hand in demanding for himself f and for his rights; the full free measure of freedom to which was entitled, that the cry of the Negro up to the secret had seemly fallen on deaf ears as for the nations of the world were murdered because of the faction that united the Negro has no choice in the future. He stressed that he needed and used them to urged them to force in every a case with the others of their brothers in order parts of the world and thus help to strengthen the bond and hasten the rights of the Negro people of the world will be neglected and the demands will receive attention. For many years he was the English champion of the rights of the Negro kept his audience engaged and his every utterance was followed with capt attention and was followed to the close the applause was held and prolonged from souls that were attached to the deptus. After Mr. Browne had resumed his seat the president of the division Brother W. Downer of the name of the memorial cloister attended the speaker for the presentation he had given them to go forward as well as for the rate of encouragement he had sounded. Mr Willey, Jr. of the Bluefields Moray and church was then called upon for an address. He responded in a very able manner laying great stress upon the need of unity if we are to be successful in the carrying out of our plans for the establishment of a powerful and respect commanding government of Negroes by Negroes in Africa, our mother and. After this speaker had finish in Brown, escorted by Brother J. left the meeting to pay a visit to the meeting of Chapter No. 8, where delivered another of his soul-stirring addresses. He made a great impression on the minds of the people of the city of Bluefields, speaking to members as well as non-members on "A Call to Negro Manhood." This latter meeting came to a close at about 3 p.m. and immediately the friends of Division No. 24 escorted Mr. Brown to his lodgings. Arrangements were then made for a meeting on the following evening, Monday August 7. A larger hall was secured for the staging of this meeting, and a special program of songs recitations and dialogues was rendered by the children as well as some of the adult members of the division. Many of the friends who had heard of the addresses of the evening came out to hear for themselves, and long before the hour of 7 arrived there was a big crowd gathered. After being introduced, Mr Brown again related to the friends the fact that there was no greater honor that could be conferred upon him than to be called upon to address a gathering of Negroes who are working for and looking hopefully toward the establishment of unity in the great race of which they formed a part, and the founding of a strong Negro government in Africa. His subject on this creation was "Marcus Garvey, the Great Emancipator." The speaker drew comparisons with the Hon. Marvin Garvey on the one hand and Abraham Lincoln and Queen Victoria on the other, pointing out to the audience that Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and that of the English Queen some thirty years before were prompted not merely by altruistic and humanitarian motives, as many think, but that they were acts of necessity, on the one side of the water to save the English planters from economic ruin and on this side of the Atlantic, it was the master stroke of a great politician who saw that this was the only issue upon which the Union could be saved especially as that proclamation brought into the ranks of the Union army hundreds of thousands of colored soldiers, who helped to turn the tide of the Civil War at the most critical period. But he was here presenting to their mental gaze this evening he said a man who from the broadest humanitarian principles, was seeking the freedom of not the twelve millions whom Queen Victoria's Emancipation Proclamation liberated or the eight millions to whom Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation gave freedom from chattier slavery but one whose work is freeing the mental condition of an entire race of four hundred millions, and will eventually, and yet be the means of securing for them financial all commercial industrial and political freedom As on the foregoing occasions, the audience listened as if they were charmed to hear the precious truths which fell from the speaker's lips and when in closing, he told them that in the years to come when the history of great men and their achievements comes to be written the name of Marcus A. Galea) the Negro patriot statesman and inspired, God-directed lender, will be standing in the topmost niche above them all a great cheer rent; the air as the friends in the audience gave expression to their pep-up feelings and emotions. Indeed it was a great effort, worthy of a great orator and met with great approval. At the close of the meeting the officers took it upon themselves to thank Mr. Brown the speaker for the evening for having given them so much time and effort, and expressed their great appreciation and admiration for the impress on he had made upon those who had the pleasure of hearing him. The singing of the Universal Ethiopian National Anthem brought the meeting to a close at 10:30 p.m. then as the friends in the audience turned to go the choir took up the Hymn God Be With You Till We Meet Again. Everyone wanted to shake hands with the speaker, and to express their admiration for the sincere and masterly way in which he handled his subject. Many also promised to get into the ranks of the great nation and stay for all time. Although Mr. Brown was schedled to meet Mr. Cook on Tuesday evening, he readily consented to speak at a meeting which had been arranged by the Baptist Mission Hall that evening. Quite a large number of friends gathered in the building as well as adults as the news spread like wildfire that that was to be his farewell address. Here Mr. Brown spoke from the words, 'Take ye away the stone, John 11:30, and in earnest tones filled with the friends gathered in the hall to forget their differences and remove the stones, the obstacle which prevented them from working in complete union and concord praying that men and women would rise out of that neighborhood who would devote their lives to the cause of Africa and the awakened and enlightened Negro of the present day. Many hearts were touched as the speaker impressed upon them the fact that lives to be successful must appeal.' Service in a big way, and urged them to go out to work in love and harmony to bring Bluefieldia entirely within the ranks of the L. N. A. After the pronouncing of the benediction the friends all took up the strains of the parting hymn God He With You Till We Meet Again', then as it was 6 30, and he had to be on the dock at 7 p.m. Mr Brown wished the friends all good-bye and, escorted by about two hundred members of the Scouts' Brigade (boys and girls), he set off for the dock, while a general shout of acclamation went up from the throats of those who were left behind Bluefields has been stirred as it never was before, and the friends in every walk of life are hoping that when the third international convention comes to its close and the President General is choosing a commissioner for Nicaragua he will select a man of the type of Mr R T Brown earnest, devoted and unselfish. Seeing that they had not been able to secure a delegate to represent them before the third international convention, the officers and members of Division No 94 called a special meeting, at which it was unanimously agreed to ask Mr Brown to represent them at the convention. The request was agreed to, much to the delight of the friends in the community, who feel that their cause is in safe hands. STOP! LOOK! READ! AND THEN GONE TO B. M. BROOKS 101 West 138th ST.

SEPTEMBER 16. 1922 A PLEASANT SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS A mass meeting in the form of a pleasant Sunday afternoon was given at the Tela Division, No. 168, on Sunday, July 16, by the members and friends of the said division. At 4 p.m. Mr. E. M. Stewart, our young and energetic President, acting, with gavel in hand, ascended the platform to preside over the evenings' entertainment. The processional hymn, "Shine On, Eternal Light," was sung, and the devotional part was conducted by Mr J. D H Dyer, the assistant chapplain. The programme consisted of songs, recitations and addresses. The musical part was directed by Mr G. M. Simpson, the Choirmaster. Too much credit cannot be given him for the efficient manner in which the pieces are rendered. Among the speakers was Mr. Ellis of Division No 194, Santiago-de-Cuba who delivered an able address on Unit) Among the many items on the programme was the display of the exhibits for Convention, the responsibility of which was placed in the hands of the Lady President, Mrs. Fairclough The articles were needle and fancy work, preserves and curios. This created a great deal of interest, as one by one the exhibitor displayed and laid by each article, which are the handwork of the Negro women of Teia, which shows the latent talent that could be put to good account if developed and make them to rank side by side with the women of other races This brought the meeting to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem On Monday a surprise send-off planned by the lady officers, was given to Commissioner Thorpe on the eve of his departure for Convention. At about 11:30 he was escorted in to the office of the division, where awaited him the Executive Officers and a few other friends to partake of a sumptuous roast which has been in honor of the occasion, when all present enjoyed themselves till the small hours of the morning. Prior to our parting the following address was presented to him, to which he replied, promising that in going to Convention he will use all his influence to bring about a better state of things for the betterment of his race, not only in Tela, but in the Republic of Honduras. To Mr Thorpe we can, without any hesitation, ascribe the honor of being the father and founder of the Tela Division. Ever since he caught the spirit of a new Negro, his thought was turned toward everything African, and this division is the first fruit of his labors when the members in turn made him their local leader. Assuming the responsibility as a leader he has left no stone unturned in order to benefit the race in and around Tela. Had he received the kind of support as anticipated from his colleagues at the start, this division would have been booming with laurels added to her leader's crown. Notwithstanding the many setbacks wicked propagandas and foul influences which have been from time to time displayed by the haters of the Cause the Tela Division with her energetic and indomitable leader is forging ahead. Now that he has left for Convention he will be able to report with pleasure that he had been able to add two niches to our buttress, that is by planting a chapter in San Juan, a distance of about three miles from Tela, and laying of the cornerstones of that which is to be the "Mecau" for the Negroes in Tela. Ever since Mr Thorpe has entered the public arena, he has made himself familiar with all the needs of his people and in whatever way he can his assistance is given. As a pharmacist his services have always been in demand and he is a boon to mankind here. In his private life he is a friend to all and none has ever been sent away without being helped where assistance is needed. In his public career he is a calm but firm ruler, and it is with this spirit that he succeeds as leader in these parts. Now that he is away for awhile, he IMPORTANT NOTICE Improvement Association All Divisions and Divisions!

TOUCHING FAREWELL TO PRESIDENT OF DIV. 164, GUANTANAMO, CUBA TOUCHING FAREWELL TO PRESIDENT OF DIV. 164, GUANTANAMO, CUBA Mr C. A. Thomas, Guantanamo. Dear Sir—On this the eve of your retirement from the presidential chair of our division, we, the undersigned, desire to and do hereby take this opportunity to place on record our sincere regret for the cause that has forced you to come to the decision of tendering your resignation. We feel that we should ask you to reconsider your resignation were it not that you have acted upon the advice of your medical adviser. We desire to assure you that as members of the division we bear ungrudging testimony to your uniring interest in and devotion to what you considered your duty as president. We do not matter nor do we flippantly employ terms when we say it will be difficult to find another man who will watch the finances of this division as you have done. We have watched you for some fifteen months, the period of your occupancy of the chair and we have wondered at the tactful manner in which you have on several occasions steered the division's ship from engulfing whirlpools and quicksands. You must expect that there are those who will differ from us, and indeed it would be a calamity if we did not have someone at times differing from us. There are those who may say and may have expected that you should have wrought miracles, but be consoled that there will always be some cheap talkers in this world so long as talk remains the cheapest produce in the world a market. We do not want you to think that we have always seen eye to see with you, nor do we want you to believe that we agreed with all your rulings. Indeed, among us are some who have severely criticised you, but never maliciously We criticized you, not as Mr C A Thomas, but as president of the division, and we have but a contemptuous pity for that man who would be at the head of any organization of worth but who does not expect to be criticised We criticized you, we did so when we felt we were justified in doing so, and just as fearlessly and frankly do we now give expression to our appreciation of your efforts. You go, but you can feel gratified that in giving up the reins of government you have left the division in the best financial position it ever was in, and this is equally true of its numerical position We should have liked to have accompanied this with some little souvenir, but we deem it more appropriate that the division, as such, be allowed that privilege. We are glad that the division is not to lose you altogether but will still have the benefit of your ripened experience and genial association May your health be soon restored and wishing for you continued life of usefulness, we remain.

Commissioner for New Jersey, sir, words fall me to express my deep admiration for such a son of the Negro race. Can any true-hearted Negro fail to receive inspiration from reading such a message of farvev love and sincerity as contained in the article of The Negro World for July 28, 1922, from the noble commissioner. I, for one, am unutterably impressed, because the worthy gentleman has evinced the exact counterpart of my conviction regarding the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Bravo for Henry Hodge. And there are others, too, such as Hon. Rudolf Smith, our great mathematical luminary; Mr. R. T. Brown, Rev. A. H. Maloney and M. Lester Taylor, as well as others whose sincerity of "race love" I have felt whilst reading their different articles between the lines. My servant prayer to God is that He keep such loyal flames burning until this prejudicial harrassed race of ours gets its rightful place in our motherland—Africa. R. N. VASSALL. i Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 8, 1922. 10 The Colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, Members of the Santiago Division and Black Cross Nurses Took Part Officially in Big Funeral Procession August 22.—Thirteen days ago Sister Josephine Walters was called away from this world after a six-hour illness. She was practically well up to 8 o'clock on the morning of her death and was able to make her usual purchase for her home domestic. It would appear that a sudden change of feeling took her white she was on the streea, and she hurried to her residence and told her daughter and nephaw-in-law of her feelings. A medical officer and the nearest neighbors were instantly summoned The medical officer on his arrival declared that she would have lived only till 8 o'clock of the same day, but she passed away just as the clock struck 2 The funeral took place at 4 o'clock the following day and, as she was a stanch member of three of the lodges here, the procession was the biggest ever seen in Santiago. The procession was as follows First, the band, second, Samaritans, third, star, fourth, G. U O. of O F fifth, the hearse with the body, sixth members of the U N I A, headed by the Chaplain and B. C Nurses carrying the banner of the division. Others who attended officially carried the big flag of the African colors. Captain Brown of the Universal African Legion was in command of the part that was played by the U N I A. At the cemetery the Chaplain was the last, and performed the burial ceremonies as per constitution. Her daughter and husband, residents of this city, and also her nephew-in-law and a number of friends mourn greatly the loss of their loved one. Sister Walters was an early member of the Santiago Division of the U. N I A. Fraternally yours, GEO. F. RAWLINS. THE DETROIT U. N. L. A. On visiting the Detroit Division August 6, in their regular mass meeting, I had the good fortune to hear Mr. Parker, editor of the Chicago Advocate and delegate to the present convention, deliver a most eloquent address. Mr. Parker spoke very fluently and made some very, very logical points in his soul-stirring speech. I followed Mr. Parker very closely in the trend of his talk and heartily agreed with him in many of the things he said, because his speech was surcharged here and there very deeply with many sound and keen points of logic and reason, but when Mr. Parker went out of the way to take a fling at the executive secretaries, and also to state that he had introduced, or was about to introduce to the convention a resolution calling for the repeal of the office of Executive Secretary. I there and then put myself on record to oppose the passage of such a measure and to acquaint all of the constituents of the Civil Service Bureau through the columns of The Negro World of what is about to be put over against this much needed department which will eventually work to the detriment of the organization financially. I have followed our President very closely in his writings and speeches, and note that he says that through the U. N. L. A. Negroes must create jobs for themselves, whereby they may be able to employ their own kind, and the Civil Service Department is one channel through which this organization has opened a way in which hundreds of young men and women of the race may be given lucrative positions, and yet not make themselves parasites on the association. With all due respect to the powers that be, if we are ever to be able to cope with the business sharks and scheming vampires of the present age, we might as well begin now and give our young NOTICE TO READERS Here's something new and constructive. A first-time commercial business training program. We want local salesmen, men and women to take this matter in consideration, that we have planned to establish branch stores throughout the district and manager also travel salesmen. This is the first opportunity of this kind. We have bank and insurance one dollar and we have two business. This is a wonderful chance for those who want to start a paying business enterprise. A position when we have registered with the NCU. It interested, write to NCU, Attn: NCU, 217 West 233th St., Burlington and Pat Factory, 217 West 233th St., Burlington City. men and women an opportunity to master the rudiments and scientific methods of operating all kinds of businesses, from a variety toy shop to the management of a city of the first class. It is not because I am a member of the Civil Service Department that I speak in its defense, but I feel) that if the organization is to profit by its mistakes of the past, relative to the transactions of the financial working of the local divisions and receive the proper protection from headquarters, this end of the locals must be put in the hands of men and women whom the parent body has put its stamp of efficiency approval on, and that said civil servants are held responsible to the parent body for their actions. Mr Parker avers that the executive secretaries can be dispensed with and that the divisional secretary can be bonded to look after the secretarial work of the divisions. Mr Parker laid great stress on the fact that the executive secretary of the Chicago Division was receiving a salary of $30 per week. What Mr Parker seems to be driving at is that regardless from what source the secretary is furnished, he must, or should, give his time gratis. But Mr Parker seems to have overlooked the fact that some of the divisions have grown so large in membership and the secretarial work has increased so enormously in volume that it requires the entire time of any secretary I don't care where he comes from and whether he receives a salary or not. Let Mr. Parker's resolution pass and become a law and the local divisions will revert back to the same old obnoxious, chaotic state of affairs by putting the work in the hands of inefficient and unreliable persons who couldn't be held responsible to any governing head for their actions, because when you put business in the hands of inefficient and unreliable persons you cannot legally hold such persons responsible for their actions of misconduct I would like to ask Mr. Parker that if he is so bitterly against paying any one for giving their entire time to look after the business end of this association in an honest and legitimate manner, why did he leave the convention—when he can least be spared—to rush back to Chicago to look after some case which he styles as being "very important"? Why would he not be the first to give up his lucrative business of practicing law and go out into the field and devote all of his time to the upbuilding of this association for gratis if he thinks people can live on earth and board in heaven? Why don't he be more patriotic than those poor, thieving devils who worked for the government during the war for a salary of one dollar per year and yet they came out of it millionaires? It is because Mr. Parker isn't quite ready to take the route which MacSwiney traveled, then why should he fight against the Civil Service Department of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to furnish the locals with efficient and reliable secretaries to take care of the secretarial work of the division, and pay them a salary for their time and service? If some Congressman would offer a bill to dispose of all the assistant post-masters general, or nullify the office of Attorney-General, or to abolish the Civil Service Commission, averring that the government could successfully maintain itself and save money with out these departments, every man in Congress and the entire populace of this great Commonwealth would think he had gone crazy, or was afflicted with the lesion of the brain. For Mr Parker to foster such a resolution as he intends to introduce, too well does he know that when a bill was about to be introduced in Congress calling for the dismissal of nearly every Negro employee in the Chicago post office the leading Negroes all over the country got themselves together and sent petitiones up to Washington long enough to reach from this earth to Mars in protest against such a daunted move, and for what? To save a job for the Negro in the white mans institution. Now it is a matter of saving a job for the Negro in his own institution, and I am one who shall go down on record in protest against the passage of such a resolution, and I call on all the loyal members of this noble organization, who do not wish to see this association enmeshed in the cob-web of past experiences, to voice their protest against the Parker resolution as affecting the executive secretaries, by writing your delegate and showing them the necessity for economical reasons beneficial to every local division and the association at large, to vote against this resolution. Executive Secretary, 1518 Russell St. Detroit, Mich. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVE MENT ASSOCIATION AND DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL To the U. N. L A. and A. C. L: TO the U. N. L. K and U. C. L. We are one of the world around. We must remember that the Dyer Bill dare not give the Negro Africa. We new Negroes are seeking a government of our own. From the beginning of civilisation the nation that was without a government was trampled under foot and made slaves by those who ruled them. So it is today. The Dyer Bill is not the medicine to cure a chronic disease. Lynching has become chronic. The Dyer Bill may patch it for a while, but except we establish a government in our mother land, Africa, that patch will soon wear out. Don't be deceived, just stay on the boat as long as there is a place of timber to float on. We must put this program over, regardless of the cost. The members of this great organization are called "fools and common people," but we thank God that He has given us the courage to tell the world that we are no longer asleep, and that we mean to have a government of our own. The Hon. Marus Garvey is the greatest and only leader of the Negro race today. Hear ye him, for he has the only remedy for the salvation of the Negro race. Lynching will be stopped when we unite and form a government of our own. / THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1922 HON. DR. B. B. FAIRCLOUGH AND HON. W. O. SMYERS STIR CHAPTER NO. 1 AND PUT NEW LIFE IN MEMBERS HON. DR. B. B. FAIRCLOUGH AND HON. W. O. SMYERS STIR CHAPTER NO. 1 AND PUT NEW LIFE IN MEMBERS On Sunday afternoon, August 20, Chapter No.1 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association held an en- thuslastic mass meeting at their Liberty Hall 252 West Sixty second street, New York city. The meeting was called to order at 4:30 p. m. with the president, Dr A Alloyna, in the chair. After the singing of the opening ode and prayer was offered the president gave a short but instructive address. He began to comment on the speakers of the evening and asked the audience to give their undivided attention. The vice president Mr Edney, was then called on to give the first address and in his own way brought out some very encouraging remarks to his hearers. The next speaker of the evening was the Hon Dr B B Fairelough who took for his subject The Star of Ethiopia Appears." This gentleman spoke for an hour and kept his hearses spellbound. He was scholarly timely and also proved that he is a great scholar of astronomy. He told his people of the different stars, what time they appear, and told them the effect those stars have on humanity. He dealt with Mars for a little while then with Mercury, Jupiter Venus, Saturn and one by one he explained to his hearers the meaning of these stars but said that a certain star was missing and that star was the star of Ethiopia. After clearing up his point in a masterly manner he showed to his hearers that the star is ruling now and that the Hon Marus Garvey is governed by that star and no power on earth and in hell is able to defeat him because he is in the sign of the Zodiac and Leo the lion is his sign. We did not know that there were so many good things in this gentleman but Sunday has proven to the Negroes of New York that we were entertaining an angel in diguise. Dr Fairlough is also a minister of the gospel and also a prospective lawyer. The next speaker was the Hon Smyr, who took the house by storm. His subject was "Nationhood" and in a masterly way he showed to his hearers the necessity of manhood. He was at his best and spoke for another hour. He carried his hearers to and fro with his eloquence, so that they could not help shouting sometimes, and at other times they were as serious as though a bomb had fallen among them. A solo was rendered by Mrs Henry accompanied by Dr Falcough on the piano. Also, a resolution was read by the Vice-President of the Ladies' Department. This brought the meetings to a close. Everyone was well satisfied with the proceedings of the afternoon saying as they went out. Fair clough is truly Marcus Gustav second ARCHIBALD ALLEN President City UNVEILING OF CHARTER NO.538 On Sunday afternoon, July 9 at 8 piclock, one of the most conspicuous scenes ever witnessed by the Farm No 4 Division of the I N I A and A C L was here demonstrated.

Executive Secretary. asked to fall in line behind Marcuss Garvey so that the red, the black and the green may float on the hillside of Africa. LULA ARNOLD, Wa. the members of Gary Division No. 185 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, wish to make a few remarks on a periodical which appeared in The Negro World on July 15, in which due praise was given to His Excellency Hon Marcus Garvey, Lady H V Davis and Commissioner H F Carroll, and no reference to our Secretary General, the Rt Hon. Fred A Toote, who has done what Commissioner Carroll could not do, nor did he attempt to do, and that is bring peace out of confusion by bringing the people back in one division whence they were divided. The division is going on to success. Wa. the officers and members of the Gary Division, give due honor to our Secretary General Fred A Toote, who is a man of brains a man of honor and a man of valor. A broadminded man worthy of praise everywhere. We want the world to know that we are New Negroes in reality and Gary Division No 185 loves and respects all the officers of the Executive Council who have been to Gary. The person or persons who sent such an article without mentioning the Rt Hon Secretary General to whom alone the credit is given for the amalgamation of the two scattered Gary divisions at their own request evidently wrote it hurriedly. After hearing the common cause of the U N I A both divisions were ady to be reconciled and start working united under charter No. 185 to help foster the cause of the 400 000 000 Negroes of the world. The right of the consolidation was the first actual business meeting that was ever confluent in glory without ablemish and all that was done was done by the majority of the members of both divisions, who had pleaded all watering to the High Commissioner H. F. Carroll to be united. United we stand divided we fall. The majority still stand firm on their decision Now and then a disgruntled member is found but is soon spoken into silence. Above all Secretary General Fred A. Tonte blazed the way for the advent of our great chief, Hon. Marcelo Garvey which was a great success upon whose heels followed Our Hon. Lady H. V. Davis. All praise to "Our" Executive Officers. Long live Hon Marcus Garvey Lady Davis and Hon Fred A. Toote May God speed on the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and may the good God ever keep His eyes on the Gary Division No 185 A E. Scott President.

N. A. held two meetings on Surry August 13 at its usual meeting place 455 Bloomfield avenue, Montclair N. J. These meetings were hurriedly arranged by the officers of the division, but reverently a telling case was served, the ball being played on each occasion. At 3 p.m. the meeting was called to order by the President, the choir rendering the opening note. From Greenland's Icy Mountains" The speakers of the afternoon were Mr. James, Mr N. L. Fisher First Vice President, and Deputy Chief Jackson of Kinsale City. This young orator of the West coast led the audience and kept them spellbound through 1.2 centre discourse. At 8:30 p.m the hall was again filled the meeting being opened in its usual form. After some brief remarks by the President, W M Durant, the program of the evening commenced. The speaker of the evening was Elder J D Harbour missionary to Abyssinia. The Montclair people were acquainted with this student of the Eastern world and were happy to have him in their midst. Again his anilightened discourse of his trip to Abyssina was received with keen attention. Dr Barbour employs a forceful delivery in getting his points home. Deputy Jackson also spoke in his brilliant style in the evening. The musical program was under the personal direction of Mr M J Rudolph. The president expects to have these meetings from time to time. CORNS REMOVED DR. J. P. BAILEY REGISTERED CHIROPODIST Never Ignore Post Troubles— They Injure the Nerven.

From Greenland's ice Mountains and during the interval the hall was practically filled, and quite a number of Cubans and other friends stood in the gallery. Our chaplain then performed the usual ceremonies of prayers from the ritual in ministerial form. He then arranged a short program for the evening, which was as follows Bong by Walter Ford, executive secretary Birds in the Garden Opening address by President Preson Strickland Song by Miss Thomas, vice president of Puerto Padre Division Address in Spanish by High Commissioner Hon E V Morales missioner E.

The address of our High Commissioner spoke volumes showing the amount of zeal that burns in the heart of a single man his love for his race his sacrifice of health and family's tender care for one aim the redemption of Africa. May God continue to keep him in health and strength that he may see some of the fruits of his store. The address in Spanish was lengthy and impressive and appeared to make great impressions on those present. The meeting then closed with the singing of the farewell hymn, God Be With You Till We Meet Again followed by the Doxology during which the Commissioner shook hands heartily with all present, who in turn wished him godspaced and a successful career. Stanley Archer General Secretary Viviana Samuels, Lady Secretary Annie Bullen Lady President Preston Strickland President Central Delicias Oriente de Cuba August 1, 1922 IMPRESSIONS FROM SAN JUAN DIV., PORTO RICO IMPRESSIONS FROM SAN JUAN DIV., PORTO RICO We are convinced of the great mistaken condition in which the elements of our race are living in Porto Rico. They believe that prejudice of races is a dead matter in our country and for that reason they do not worry (") about or do not pay any attention to a division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which had taken root in the capital of the island. Lack of space does not permit us to write the history of our division, but we do any that, as in many other places where our flag has not been housed, the directors of our movement have been blamed and annoyed and their meetings and movements have been interrupted by members of our own race who are afraid of being deprived of the gifts, they received from the whites and on many occasions they played deaf and dumb to our previews and closed their doors to their brothers in race. Extremely hypocritical they had not the courage to declare themselves in favor of a party because they can't忍 in favor of the other because they believe in a higher class. Self- isolated they kept their knowledge for themselves instead of showing it to the world, helping in this way to the improvement of our race. Like many other divisions, ours passed its crisis. At present and under the direction of Mr James A. Bibson. COMPLAINT Universal Negro H NOTICE! NOTICE!

Notwithstanding our troubles and difficulties we have enrolled a great number of progressive young followers. Professionals, some laborers, others convinced of the false brotherhood and actually so described by the whites. came in our lines, so we now have a division ready to work for the welfare and benefit of our race and particularly for the better commercial understanding among our brothers in race all around the country. On account of the arrival to San Juan on his way to New York of Hon John Sidney de Bourg, leader of the Western Province of the West Indies and of Central and South America, a meeting was to be held at the assembly room of the "Casino Hijos de Borin quen, a social club for members of the race" so they said (1)—but up to this date we do not know why the meeting was transferred and held at the Municipal Theatre of the city Hon de Bourg addressed the assembly in English and interpreted in Spanish by Mr. Bishop, and his speech left a very good impression among the hearers. We do not hesitate to say that within one year at least the San Juan Division No 45 will be at the head of our movement in the West Indies, so we congratulate the directors of the movement and we exhort them to fight bravely and with courage to free our brothers in race from the general boycott in which they have been placed by the whites this can be done by preaching and spreading the wise doctrine of Hon Marcus Garvey and the purposes of our institution ANTONIO BELTRAN RENTAS.

VETERAN BRANDS BRITONS AS GREEDY To the Editor of The Post Sir, I am a law-abiding citizen and a veteran I simply write to ask a question Is Great Britain running the United States Congress? It seems so to me. The world ought to rise and put a stop to Great Britain's greed, her tyrannical imposition, robbing and thieving. Great Britain is in a state of degeneracy—her degenerates are a lot of vampires and parasites, who are sucking the life blood of the poor, defenseless people of the world. India, Egypt, Africa and the West Indies are examples of English rule. The people in these countries are overtaxed and starving to support a lot of vampires and parasites calling themselves English royalty. I have personally seen and observed these things. The majority of Englishmen brave that they are superior in knowledge of things in general. In my opinion they are superior to the Americans, for they can make fools of the American politicians whenever they want to. I have traveled around the world a good deal and know from experience what I sat to be so. A very large majority of Englishmen are born with a grasping, grab all spirit and a covetous nature. They want everything they see, and if they cannot obtain it by fair means, they will steal it.

Times Sobre la Mislón de El general Crowder no presentó un ultimátum al presidente Zayas y al congreso cubano. Pero las medidas propuestas por él como remedio para las dificultades financieras y económicas de Cuba están avanzando rápidamente. A veces, una sola indicación basta. Nuestra Gran Convención Internacional y Sus Resultados —Sus Diputados y Delegados Han Aprendido Mucho Durante la Reunión Del Gran Cónclave—La Raza Entera Esta Llamada a Cooperar en Beneficio de Nuestra Causa—Nuestra Organización un Gran Poder en el Futuro En abril el Dr. Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, a la sazón ministro cubano en Washington, y que es ahora secretario de estado del gobierno de Zayas, informo a la Habana que tendría que haber un reajustamiento económico voluntario en Cuba o seria innante la intervención financiera de los Estados Unidos. El readjustamiento económico comprenda las reformas administrativas que el general Crowder habia recomendado. Ha permanecido en la Habana como representante del gobierno de Washington y consejo del presidente de Cuba desde Diciembre de 1920. La situación financiera iba de mal en peor cuando Zayas sucedió a Menocola a principios de 1921. Hasta la loteria, que debiera haber sido hirradamente administrada, sostenia a humerosos parásitos. El presupuesto no podía ser equilibrado. Los ingresos no se recibían en cantidad suficiente para sostener al gobierno. Un sistema bancario desmoralizado hacia la restauración de un crédito normal muy difícil. En la reacción de la inflación de prosperidad posterior a la guerra habiase presentado mucha falta de trabajo y la moral privada tanto como la comercial habia sufrido considerablemente. Y sm embargo Cuba era rica en productos naturales y poseía trabajadores bastantes para desarrollar su riqueza. Despues de haber terminado sus sesiones nuestra tercera Convención Internacional, hemos regresado a nuestros respectivos puestos para continuar la gloriosa labor promulgando la causa de nuestra organización. Los Diputados y Delegados al gran conclave han recibido una inspiración, la cual será usada como nueva arma de defensa por los intereses generales de la raza. Los últimos treintiun días de continua labor nos ayudaran a la mejor comprensión de la naturaleza humana así como también a la causa que representamos y defendemos. No todos tuvimos la misma opinión en los distintos asuntos discutidos, pero como seres humanos pudimos llegar a la decisión satisfactoria para bien comun a todos. Como raza hemos aprendido a sepultar nuestros resentimientos personales rindiendo homenaje a la ley de la mayoría. Durante los ultimos días de sus sesiones, la Convención, por medio del amor demostrado a la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y a nuestra raza en general, se vió obligada a eliminar de seno a caracteres desleales, quienes trataron de minar la influencia de nuestra gran causa. Su expulsión ha sido una gran sorpresa para aquellos que no estan al corriente de los procedimientos de tales individuos, pero consideramos un deber de los representantes el velar por los intereses y buena marcha de la organización. A principios de Agosto de este año el general Crowder presenta al gobierno un memorandum en el que, con la aprobación del secretario Hughes, propone medidas la intervención de los Estados Unidos bajo prescripciones de la emmergida Planta. En resolución, requerían el arreglo del pago de determinadas obligaciones que no habían satisfeco, cambios en los sistemas de contabilidad y de justicia, la suspensión de ciertas disposiciones de la ley del servicio civil relativas a la permanencia de los empleados públicos en sus puestos, para la represion de los fraudes en el servicio de aduanas, reforma de las leyes regulando las subastas publicas para contratos a la autoribación para la colocación de un empréstito exterior La mayor parte de estos proyectos se informa ahora que estan en camino de ser aprobados por el congreso cubano. Un movimiento tan importante y tan útil como el nuestro podrá naturalmente guardar en su seno elementos pagados por sus enemigos para destruir la gran influencia que este ejercce actualmente sobre los millones de nuestra raza esparcidos por el universo. Hemos tenido la gran oportunidad de observar el que realmente existen clementos de nuestra raza capaces de vender por un puñado de pesetas no solamente a nuestra organización, sino a la raza entera. Tal oportunidad, como experiencia, es una gran lección para el porvenir. Chile Presidiendo la Liga de Naciones La designación de D. Agustin Edwards, ministro de Chile ante la Gran Bretana y sus representante en la Liga, para la presidencia de la asamblea reunida en Ginebra, constituye un hecho trascendental para Hispano América que debe servir para obtener ventajas efectivas dentro de las posibilidades de la situación. Las naciones tienen su propio método de proceder con sus traidores, el poder de nuestra organización actualmente es deshacerse de ellos a la mayor brevedad posible. Traidores irán y traidores vendrán, pero nuestra organización continuará su paso de avance hasta escalar las colinas y montañas de nuestra madre patria y plantar en ellas el estandarte rojo, negro y verde, emblema de nuestra causa sacrosanta. El simple caso de llegar a elevadismo cargo, por elección entre los miembros del conclave internacional, el delegado de la república sudamericana, consagra la personalidad adquirida por las naciones hispanas del Nuevo Continente y su advenimiento al legitimo uso de la influencia que les corresponde en la dirección de los destinos del mundo. No sería sensato exagerar el alcance verdadero de esta intervención, pero fuera absurdo ignorar la magnitud real del acontecimiento y su proyección sobre la elaboración del porvenir internacional. Trátase de una base para conseguir ventajas efectivas en bien de toda Hispano América. La situación préstase a ello y, sin duda, la esterilidad o la utilidad del esfuerzo que se desarrollle ahora ha de depender, en gram parte, del espirito de elevación y la sagacidad de procedimiento que se emplee La labor realizada por la Convención de este año, cual estrella fulgurante, ha iluminado la mente de los que constituiimos esta asociación y si hemos de ser leales a la causa, no ha de haber razón por la cual dentro de otro año no exista un numero mayor de elemento en la organización. Tenemos el conocimiento de que los enemigos de la raza tratan aun de persuadir a las masas para que éstas no den crédito a nuestra gran obra, que grandes cantidades han sido invertidas en salarios para los judas, quienes sirven de instrumento para destruir la influencia universal que nuestra organización ha adquirido. Les eliminaremos en el futuro con el mismo método usado en el presente y en el pasado Un delegado chileno en la presidencia de la asamblea de la Liga de Naciones no implica queueda el, ó la nación a que representa por su mediación, imponer su criterio o los intereses de su patria a la asamblea. Muy lejos de ello, sábese bien bajo que limitaciones tan fereas y con qué recortamientos tan precisos muévenes las naciones no grandes potencias que pertenecen a la Liga Pero, con todo, la palabra y el voto del sefior Edwards, han de pesar de manera autorizada en la conducción del programa de debates de las sesiones de la asamblea. Los que patrocinamos este movimiento, sin temor a nada ni a nadie, hemos de continuar adelante, limpiando a nuestro paso los escombros interpuestos en nuestro camino, en defensa de un derecho natural, en defensa de una causa justificada Iodo miembro de nuestra organización, como deber contraido con ella, ha de hacer uso de sus facultades y energias con el propósito de adquirir mayor número de adeptos, predicando su sana doctrina. Queremos un Africa organizada, queremos organización en las antillas, en centro y sudamerica, en el Cánada y en los Estados Unidos, queremos que los elementos de nuestra raza engrosen universalmente las filas de este movimiento propotente, ayudándonos de ese modo en la lucha por la adquisición de nuestro ideal. El delegado chileno podrá, sin duda, ejercer su influencia decisivamente en cuanto las coyunturas de la división de votos internacionales en las discusiones permitale inclinar la balanza hacia su lado. En el conocido sistema de compromisos y convenios que ha venido presidiendo las tarcas de la asamblea en reuniones anteriores, mucho podrá obtener el sefior Edwards en favor de los intereses a él encomendados a cambio de su onicidad ó apovo. Nuestra raza ha arribado al cruce en el camino de su destino y nos corresponde como parte integrante de ella, el adoptar una resolución por el sagrado principio de redención, prestando todo cuanto nos sea disponible en beneficio de la causa por libertad humana. Aprovechar esta situación será su gran habilidad. Hispano América, cuando menosa, tiene ahora la oportunidad de hacerse oir ante la asamblea de la Línea en sus princi- pales problemas y de presentar en tribuna de resonancia sin rival sus aspiraciones y sus necesidades. Aunque no sea más que por desplazar de vez en cuando de Washington el centro de las representaciones de nuestras republicas, debiera aprovechar la oportunidad para llevar a Ginebra los asuntos pendientes de solución entre las naciones hispanas del continente. Anunciase que Bolivia presentará alli sus reclamaciones en el asunto de Tacna y Arica y la situación del señor Edwards puede ser entonces delicada. Pero aún así su mision quedará cumplidad con sólo que proteja a la nación hermana en su derecho de presentar integralmente su caso a la asamblea. Como esa reclamation puede haber otros problemas hispanoamericanos pendientes de estudio que el mundo conocería mejor si se expusieran ahora en Europa. Aprovovéchese la oportunidad. Hispano América tiene una ocasion unica y no debe perderse —La Prensa, N. Y. La Representación Norte Americana en la Exposi- ción Del Brasil Brasil celebra hoy el centésimo aniversario de su independencia, que Don Pedro, el mayor de los hijos supervivientes del rey Juan de Portugal proclamo el 7 de Septiembre de 1822. Aunque el Brasil no se convirtué en república hasta el 15 de Noviembre de 1889, con el destronamiento del amable Don Pedro II, hijo del primer emperador, el pais ha estado libre de la dominación portuguesa por cien años y por un largo tiempo ha tenido que deber poco ó nada a la simpatia portuguesa. Dado que los dos emperadores gobernaron solo por el apoyo de un pueblo democrático y nunca presumieron de tener especiales privilegios, no es singular que el Brasil republicano celebre hoy el centésimo aniversario de la proclaación de Don Pedro. Una brívará característica de la celebración sera la apertura de una exposición del centenario. En 1876 el emperador Don Pedro visitó la exposición del centenario en Filadelfia como representante del Brasil. Fue un acto de cortesia que requería reciproco acto de reconocimiento de los Estados Unidos en la apertura la exposición de Río de Janeiro Durante la estancia del secretario Hughes, una estatua consagrando la amistad americana se descubrira en la bahía, como donativo de los Estados Unidos. No solo para honrar al Brasil se halla el secretario Hughes en Rio Está alli para afirmar los lazos de amistad entre dos grandes paises y para fomentar la política cordial del panamericanismo. Mr. John Barrett, exdirector general de la union panamerican de Washington, y ministro de los Estados Unidos en la Argentina, Panama y Colombia, ha declarado que "sin una completa integencia entre dos poderosos gobierno y pueblos, la estructura total del panamericanismo pudiera errrubarse". Es una política que tiende a unir la las naciones del hemisferio occidental en forma que se presenten como una unidad para el bien general. Es una política opuesta al militarismo y que apoya el arbitraje. Es una política de igualdad y amistad. Algunos de los mas capaces colaboradores de publicaciones panamericanas han sido siempre escuchados con respecto. Cuando el secretario Root hizo su excursion por Sud América la fe en la unión pánamericana se habia desvacido. Los buenos oficios de los Estados Unidos cuando se ofrecian eran mirados con recelo. No hay duda de que los magistrales discursos de Mr Root contribuyeron a la resurrección de la cooperación panamericana. Que las controversias nacidas de la guerra europea y la intervención de los Estados Unidos en Haiti y Santo Domingo, para no hablar de la tirantez de relaciones con Méjico han afectado al panamericanismo adversamente, no es de dudarse La tarea de Mr. Hughes representando al gobierno de los Estados Unidos, es devolver la seguridad en sus discursos públicos a las naciones sudamericanas que encuentran dificultad en hacer compatibles nuestros actos con nuestras declaraciones, que nosotros no entendemos nuestra intervención en Santo Domingo y Haiti y el indefinido aplazamiento del reconocimiento de Méjico. Pero el secretario de estado tiene la lógica a su lado. Más todavía, se recomienda a la buena acogida de sus auditorios por su feliz proposición de arbitrar la persistente controversia de Tacna y Arica. El Presidente de Méjico No Teme al Alzamiento de Murgula El presidente de Méjico, General Alvaro Obregón, ha declarado a la prensa de la Ciudad de Méjico que el movimiento revolucionario del general Marguila no tenía importancia alguna. El Sr. Manuel C. Telles, encargado de negocios en la ciudad de Washington, manifesta que lejos de tener al movimiento insureto, el gobernado de Méjico se plaza de ver que todos los jefes rebelde regresen al país; que en los Estados Unidos hay algunas jefes revulucionarios que, con la ayuda de los intereses petroleros conspiran en contra del gobierno de Méjico, apesar de las leyes de neutralidad; que el gobierno de la república mejicana esta en capacidad de tender a sus propios asuntos y que el movimiento de Murguia tendrá el mismo resultado que las otras actividades revulucionarias ocurridas, desde que el actual presidente tomó posesión de su cargo. El único resultado de todos estos movimientos es el crear en los Estados Unidos una mala impresión acerca de la situación política de aquel país. El presidente Obregon es apoyado por una inmensa mayoría en el nuevo congreso de la república. Se Constituye en Cuba un Comité de Defensa Nacional Los miembros que componen el comité de corporaciones económicas presididos por el Dr Pedro P Kohly, se reunieron en la Asociación de Comerciantes con el proposito de constitut el comité de defensa nacional cubano, el cual se encargará de solucionar los actuales problemas político, económico e internacional de la república Luego de haber deliberado amplia y detendamente, se procedió a la elección de los miembros, considerando ademas a todos director de periodico como miembro efectivo de dicho comité de defensa. Otro Atentado Contra la Vida de Los Vinjeros El ferrocarril del sur. Royal Palm, fue descarrilado a pocas millas de la ciudad de Jacksonville, Florida, saliendose de sus rieles cinco coches de pasajeros y siete cochees dormitorios, con motivo de la descomposición de una aguja. Este tren es uno de los preferidos por los turistas que viajan por el sur de los Estados Unidos. Los investigadores deducen que la descomposición de la aguja no fue un hecho accidental, sino el resultado de otro complot criminal con motivo de la huelga existente. Por fortuna no hubo que lamentar desgracia personal alguna. Un Empréstito Para República Haitiana M Leon Dejean, ministro de relaciones exteriores de la república haitiana, has visitado el Departamento de Estado en Washington y conferenciado con el secretario de dicho departamento señor Phillips. El proposito de su visita a los Estados Unidos es concertar un empréstito de catorce millones de pesos a fin de hacer frente a la deuda y otras necesidades financieras de la república, así como también construir nuevas vias de comunicación, edificios y otras mejoras publicas. Han sido ya extendidas las invitaciones para ofertas sobre el empréstito y se espera que dentro de breve tiempo se aceptara alguna de las proposiciones, finalizando así las negociaciones. M Dejcan permanecerá algunas semanas en este país, regresando luego a su patria. El Asesinato Como Argumento Compartimos con el presidente Harding su estado de repugnancia al contemplar las atrocidades y el desorden que se han desarrollado a causa de las prolongadas huelgas minera y ferroviaria. La más intensa simpatia con la cauca de los trabajadores no puede hacer que un alma humana permanezca indiferente ante el empleo del asesinato como argumento. El horror de Herrin, retardado extraordinariamente en su investigación, ha sido seguido por una serie de homicidios y otros actos de violencia asesina que el país no puede condenar con bastante eneruela. Una lista de estos crimenes, probados y supuestos, seria suficiente para lanzar una protesta activa a todos los amantes de la vida y del orden en los Estados Unidos. No es asombrarse que el presidente fuera arrastrado a designar estos atentados como violaciones de las sagradas garantias de la libertad americana. Todo lector de periódicos está familiarizado con los antecedentes criminales, siendo la última adición a la lista de crimenes la muerte de dos mecánicos en un descarrilamiento cerca de Gary, Indiana, debido a la remoción de veintisiete durimientos de la vía. Como la opinión pública es el arbitro final de todos las huelgas, es fácil predecir el veredicto del pueblo americano sobre catos disturblos. Es una lástima que los directores de los trabajadores tengan o tan poco don de goblerno o tal escaso dominio de sus adictos que fracasan en la prevención de actos homicidas en la prevención de actos inerriblemente en la simpatia del público. Con toda la tendencia hacla la anormalidad evidencida en los Estatos Unidos, no hemos degenerado suficientemente todavía a acero. August 17, 1922: For several months I have been forced to suspend my pen in regard to reporting the work of this division, as I would rather boost my race than to ridicule it. But I find that I can no longer bear out. When I read the Negro World week after week, and see the amount of good this organization has done, and is doing, through the uniting and laborious energies of its executive head, I find myself on imaginary wings. In this little town of Moron, one cannot face two-thirds of its inhabitants with anything "Garvey" or Black Star Line, as it is commonly called. On the 25th of September this organization will be two years established in this town, and what? The business of the association has to be transacted all the time by five or six officers. The only way we could get a gathering is to have a dance and the conduct and behavior exhibited at such a function is wholly against the morale of this organization, and is therefore obliterated by this division. It is true that all Negroes will not become active members of this organization, even when Gabriel blows his horn (and it will be well if many wo'd keep out), although that would not be very wholesome. But where the disgust comes in is in Cuba, where every living Negro is given the cold shoulder it is common sense to become organized. From July 1921 there had been a change in the administration of this division, and, in the opinion of the writer, second to none in Cuba. Mr R. C Russell, First Vice-President and Acting President, a man of unlimited social ability, came on the stage of action. This genius toiled hard to keep the doors of our hall open, and succeeded with the aid of the children. Shortly after our President, Mr F A. Ogilvie, resigned. Under the most trying circumstances the work went on, until just a month ago Mrs. C. E. Burrowes, a hard worker, found that nothing practical had been the result of the much expended labor, and resigned her office as Lady President. Mr J. B. Duff, who was elected President some time in November, was ill all along, and had to leave on the 6th of August for Jamaica in search of health. During his illness only about five of the members visited him, and four were officers. That was not from want of preaching the doctrine of the U N. I. A. Isn't that shame? I have always agreed with President Harding's Birmingham speech. The Negro should be better educated. I have noticed that the six years' preliminary education partially given in the West Indies is a great help along certain lines; but in this era when the call has arrived for intellectual men men of stamina, we find that America is the only field that can respond, whether they be West Indians or otherwise. I am momentarily arrayed against some monster, whom I would prefer to meet in a 'duel' (because the result would be one short), who, on close examination, shows the white man's love has bewildered him. He eventually says, "I can't do without the white man" Permit me to express a thought: The white man can't do without us either, and the only way I would be disappointed is if tomorrow morning I hear of the colonization of the mandated territory in Africa by us of this Western Hemisphere. Nevertheless Garveyism is here, and here to stay, for it has made an indelible mark, even in the minds of those who are not willing to accept it. Of course, such opinions must be tolerated at times, especially when it comes from those who have no initiative of their own, and are not willing to be led righteously by their own, but will follow "even to hell" the string band of others. Woe unto you, doubting Thomas, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than it will be for you in the day of reconstruction. I believe all true Garveyists are glad for the High Potentate's pre-convention speech; it was encouraging. Also that of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, especially that part which dealt extensively with fraternal organizations. There are many members of fraternal organisations that have retarded the progress of this organization, stating that this organization is nothing in comparison with lodges. That is true, but not in the way they mean. Another fact: There is a great provincial boast in this community, and apparently all over Cuba. But close examination shows it up in a very narrow path. I would like to infer here that the writer is well aware of the fact that this organization is a worldwide one. Since provincialism is a big talk in a small way, why not make it big right out? If Mr. Garvoy were a man of another race, engaged in a similar strife for that race, why, laurels would be heaped upon his head. tar el asesinato como un argumento en las contiendas industriales. El más efectivo, el único seguro medio de salvar el abismo entre el capital y el trabajo, es el espiritu de cooperación. Plicida Visita Hemos tenido el placer de saludar en nuestras oficinas al distinguido caballero dominicano Sr. Jose Maria Ildefonso, quien se encuentra en esta ciudad en viaje de visita. El Sr. Ildefonso visitó los distintos departamentos en nuestra oficina central y el Liberty Hall, queando altamente satisfecho de la labor que en ellos se realiza. El es múltiplo de nuestra división en la rueda de Sanches, hacia donde regresará detroit de breves días. Negro, the world has over one oce of heard of, the most talked-about Negro of the day. But one will notice the necessary appa- tion due such a gift is not shown, and that in where the boast drops short by a long range. In this little town (apart from the natives), 50 per cent of the Negroes are Jamaican. About 10 per cent. and Haitian. French-speaking people, and these are not interested in the movement because they do not understand English. The other 19 per cent. are distributed among Monserratians Antiguaa. Trinidadians, Barbadians, Granadians and St. Thomasiana, and one can hardly approach the former percentage with anything Negrol Something is wrong somewhere. Let us take the British for example. In 1914, at the outbreak of the late world war, Lloyd George criticized the reluctance of the British war attitude; later on he criticised the military operations. He was rebuffed by some of the most leading men in British political circles, he was called a "odomomer," and what happened. We see him refusing big titles and large sums of money, and he is today locked upon by the British Government as the political backbone of the empire. Why or not the Negro do likewise? Nevertheless, as one of our poets wrote "Marcus is sending forth a message. When its echoes shall arise it will shake the ocean islands And disturb the stars in the skies. Respectfully and fraternally. SOL BUTLER JOINS THE BIG BROTHERS Mr Rowland C. Shalden, general secretary of the Big Brother Movement, was the host at a small supper August 28. at which the guest of honor was Mr. Sol Butler, the 1929 Olympic champion broad-jumper.
