No. 9 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Gradually the leading statesmen of the world are admitting the truth of our statement made several years ago, that "greater wars were ahead of us which would ultimately destroy many of the existing empires, and that Germany would come back with a great force and power that will be almost irresistible." Since the recent outbreak between Turkey and the Allies, some of the leading statesmen of Europe have uttered many statements leading to the admission of what was prophesied by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Last Sunday, General Ludendorff of Germany, in an interview given to an American press man, said among many pointed things, the following: "Ah, if we only had more of the Irish coast for our submarines in the last war, it would have been all up with England." "Listen, in sacrificing her fleet, and giving Ireland her freedom, England has made the two greatest blunders in her history." "She has failed to appreciate that never again will Canadians or Australians rush to her side in Europe in anything like national numbers. Contingents may cross, but that will be all." Still in the course of the interview, Ludendorff emphasized the following points: "Let America mind her own business." "Germany has been abominably treated, but there will come a day of reckoning." "The British Empire is doomed, and will be the next to go, and it will not recover as Germany is going to." "And the Jews, they are at the bottom of all the trouble in the world today." A Universal Sentiment Not only Ludendorff, but many of the other leading characters of Europe have a similar feeling as expressed in the above statements. Everybody knows that so long as injustice is done to any one group of the human family, there will be found the cause for war, and war will never cease until there has been an equitable distribution of Justice, Liberty, and Democracy to all peoples. We do not glory in the downfall of the British Empire. For that matter, we do not glory in the downfall of any people, but we glory in the downfall of injustice, and alien domination over races. If all Englishmen want to get together and make an empire of their own, no one will blame them, but when they go out of their way to extend their empire among other peoples of other races, to rob and exploit them, then it is time for anyone to call a halt. This would be true of Germany, of Italy.

THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION HAS RAISED STATUS OF THE NEGRO LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, October 8, 1922.—Threatening weather with intermittent showers did not not affect the attendance at Liberty Hall tonight, but like faithful pilgrims the followers of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association journeyed in their usual large numbers to this shrine of liberty, this forum of thought and education, the fountainhead of racial inspiration—determined as they are to let nothing, not even the elements, hinder them from receiving the inspiriting messages delivered from the platform of Liberty Hall that keep their racial consciousness alive and awakened and send them forth at the beginning of each new week with greater assurance in the destiny of the race, with renewed belief in the righteousness of the movement, with increased love for the cause that is so fearlessly advocating the freedom and complete emancipation of the race, and with renewed confidence in the sincerity and integrity of the leadership that has brought the Negro into the limelight as never before and raised his status as a man in the eyes of the world. The enemies of the movement, who are particularly vigilant at this time in endeavoring to inflame public sentiment against the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, must find little aid and comfort when they behold the tenaciousness with which the masses of the people are clinging to the movement and its leader despite the flagrant and malicious attacks which are being levelled against them by the mercenary agents to whom the interests and welfare of the race are secondary to the almighty dollar doloed out to them by those who would keep the Negro race in perpetual subjection. It is consoling, however, to find that the New Negro will not be a swayed by the vaporings of these loud-mouthed, hollow-brained egotists whose existence is inimical to the interests of the race. The speakers tonight were Hon. G. Carter, First Vice-President of the New York Local; Hon. Thos. W. Anderson, Second Assistant Secretary General; Hon. R. L. Poston, Secretary General; and Hon. Marcus Garvey. The speeches were of an inspiring and appropriate character and were well received by the audience. Especially entertaining and interesting was the address of Mr. Anderson, which at times throw the audience into impulsive laughter and then caused them to think seriously of the possibilities of the movement backed by their wholehearted support and co-operation. Mr. Anderson is a versatile speaker who can flavor his talks with humorous anecdotes which drive his points home. Among some of his droll expressions which provoked laughter but at the same time clearly illustrated his meaning were those: "It is better to rule in full hat that to serve in heaven"; "We are tired of hardships; we are tired of eating the head, now we are going to sit further down in the hog"; "We are tired of being at the foot; we want to be at the head." The blank descriptions of the world he declared, are determined to rule, and indications point to the fact that the day is not distant when the Negro race would come back into its own. More and more, he added, as the empires of Europe tottar and fall, will the Negro rise with healing in his wings and march on to Africa or any other part of the world that we may desire to have as our own. In conclusion he said: "Let us stand behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we have never stood before; let us put our shoulders to the wheel and push; let the enemies howl and let the heathen rage and imagine vain things, but let us go on and push the battle to the gates; let us fight on until we bring victory home perched upon our summer; let us fight on until the dream of Marcus Garvey shall become a reality; let us fight on until we get what we want. The enquiries are going down in defeat because God is in this movement; it is a righteous movement and it is going forward." Hon. R. L. Peston in the course of a brief address announced the receipt of a program from the Detroit Division stating that they had pledged their support in defense of the Hon. Marcus For larger Women! Wool- Embroidered SERGE DRESS Tuxedo Collar and Pants Garvey and had that afternoon raised $212.00 towards the Defense Fund, which amount they intended to carry to $500.00. He urged that the New York Division keep wide awake and not sleep on the job. We must, he added, bring to bear our complete strength and show the enemy on the outside that we are wide awake to our rights and that we will be willing to go to the last ditch in order that the leader of this great movement is protected. Hon. Marous Garvey spoke on the subject, "The Consciousness of an Ideal." He gave an exhaustive treatise on the importance of having an ideal and prosecuting that ideal in the face of all adversities. Taking the example of Christ and the early fathers, who suffered and died in the promulgation of the doctrine of Christianity, he urged that the followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must be prepared to suffer and die for the cause, because it was righteous and was the result of an ideal. Following are the apaches. Garvey Warna Enamisa Hon. Marcus Garvey, before entering on the subject of his address, said: Some one brought to my notice yesterday a copy of a handball or circular which is being circulated by a group of men who are fighting the association and fighting me for some time for what reason I cannot tell. I want to explain my attitude in the matter. I handed the circular over to one of our attorneys to take the necessary legal steps in the matter, in that the Universal Negro Improvement Association believes in law and order. We believe in upholding the order of society as established by law. We believe that whenever any individual or any group of people have anything they desire to settle, if it affects their character, their reputation, their morals or their best interests, that their first duty is to seek the redress of the law. When the law fails to satisfy then you satisfy yourself. Therefore the Universal Negro Improvement Association believes in law and order; Marcus Garvey believes in law and order; he believes that if a man interferes with him before he goes out and blackguards himself he should call in the police, and if the police fall then it becomes Marcus Garvey's duty to take the matter in hand and deal with the fellow who attacks him in the manner that he deserves. Let me say to Bagnall, to Pickans, to Randolph and to Owen that Marcus Garvey is the last man to play the fool with. From the time he was born he never lost a personal fight. I am satisfied to give the State and the law the opportunity to redress the wrong inflicted upon one citizen by another, but if the law fails it is time that other action be taken, and I want Randolph and Owen and Bagnall and Pickens to know that when Marcus Garvey is through with them they won't know themselves. (Applause.) The Consolouanese of an Ideal I will speak for a few minutes on the subject of "The Consciousness of an Ideal." Every man has his own way of looking at things. Every one of us has his own way of seeing humanity—of looking at the world. The thing that appeals to one man does not appeal to the other. The ideal that attracts one does not attract the other. One with an ideal who desires to convert others to it must expect to entertain many hardships, many rebuffs in prosecuting that ideal; because, as he have said, each and every one of us has his way of looking at things and seeing things. Jesus Christ was the greatest idealist who ever came to the world. His ideal was a perfect state among humanity—a state of love; a state of brotherhood; a state of fellowship; a state of happiness. Jesus had in his mind a human race of all love, when all man would regard themselves as being brothers not only in the flesh, but in the spirit; when all humanity would look to one common source for comfort and for blessing. He endeavored to promulgate that ideal among the people of his time. Although he was Christ you know the result. The very people for whom he preached the ideal rejected him, rebuked him, crucified him. His ideal, as you know, was spiritual; his ideal was to lift man spiritually to the heights of perfection. There has never been such an ideal before or after. Jesus was the only outstanding spiritual reformer. He was outstanding in his own character because he was not only man but he was also God. Mohammed was a great spiritual reformer, but Mohammed was but man of the flesh and seemed many a time not in helping with the doctrines that he taught, but Jesus never aimed. Jesus was all perfection because he was God himself, hence during the time of questioning my to now be the only perfect character in the spiritual realm of living the soul of man. From the time of Jesus Christ he had other sufferers; we had Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. They crucified him, his own people, crucified him, from the time of Jesus in the presence of all man who knew Jesus. The only perfect character in the spiritual realm of living the soul of man. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 Enemies Are Worried Through.

Anderson Charms Audience With Masterly Address fered for preaching his spiritual ideals Martin Luther suffered for preaching his spiritual ideals and all along in things spiritual and as well as things temporal and things material reformer and idealists have suffered for the prosecution of their reform or ideals. All the reformers were not men engaged in only a spiritual reformation. I, for instance, am not engaged in the spiritual reformation, therefore no one expects me to take on completely the attributes of a Christ. Christ was spiritual to the extent that if you hit Him on the one cheek He would turn the other because He had a spiritual lesson to teach the world and probably Mohammed would have done that as a spiritual leader but Marcus Garey and many of us today who lead great movements of this kind are not spiritual leaders, we are mere physical leaders. We are asking the physical emancipation of a people, not the spiritual emancipation. We are satisfied to abide by the leadership of Christ in things spiritual. Not a Spiritual Leadership Therefore I come not to lead you in the spiritual way because Christ is my leader and I follow and ask of you to follow Him—the greatest leader in the world. I have come to ask you to follow me in the things physical for the emancipation of 400 000 000. Therefore in the fight for this emancipation no one will expect us to read the Sunday school chapter in going forward, but we may read the chapter of something else much in keeping with the physical side of man's emancipation, and those who place themselves in the way of the Universal Negro Improvement Association let me tell you this that you are attempting to place yourselves in the physical onrush of a mighty race that seeks its liberty, not so much by spiritual free as by physical force, and if you are crushed in the effort onward toward that liberty through placing yourselves in the way you will have yourselves to thank for being the obstructionists that you happened to be and not those who happen to take advantage of passing over you so as to get where they want to go. Fighting a Universal Force Men and women who fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not cognizant of the fact that they are fighting a force not domestic, not State, not insular, not national, but a force that is universal Nothing agravates an individual more than the attempt to deprive him of his liberty We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association believe in the freedom of humanity. We believe that whether you be Jew or Gentile, whether Catholic or Protestant, that you have a right to do things in your own way so long as you do not violate the order of society, that order that binds all of us to respect the rights of each other. Does Not Interfere With Other Movements The Universal Negro Improvement Association has never yet gone out of its way to interfere with any one or with any movement. The Universal Negro Improvement Association devotes all its time in the earnest prosecution of the right on behalf of this oppressed race of ours. That is our program. The world knows that to be our program, and because of this program some seek a way to oppose us. You say those that oppose are members of our own race. Those that crucified Jesus were members of His own race. That does not, however, justify the fact whether it is right or not, but it establishes this fact, that your own race can be as much your enemy as any other race. Consciously or unconsciously we have greater enemies inside of the Negro race than we have outside the race. Judas was of Christ until he came in contact with the enemies of Christ, and the enemies of Christ caused him to sell over to them the Christ who was his leader. Judas did not start out probably to be bad; he started out to be as true a discipline of Jesus as Peter was or any of the rest was, but there were individuals who were determined to get Christ in one way or another, and they sought Him through the one weak individual who betrayed Him. All Will Not Be True In the journey for freedom, in the journey for emancipation we will not expect all our people to be true to us. We will have not only one, but many Judas who will be purchased while we are journeying on and who will sell out the cause of our liberty. You know what happened to Judas. Christ did not kill Judas; Judas killed himself. I suppose those of us who are spiritual will expect our Judases to die the same way. Well, let it be so. We are divided in opinion. As I say, I am not the Christ; I am not a spiritual leader, as Christ was; I am a physical leader and do what it things from the physical viewpoint, even relying upon the grace of that spiritual leader for guidance in all things that I do. You who have loved the Universal Mercy Improvement Association and who have Dumpeed and sinned solely by the impersonal through all the activities for the once who give true expression of the consciousness of the ideal. Because of your consciousness of the idea, there is nothing in the world to shake your opinion to shake your love to shake your devotion. With Christ there were a few who were not shaken because of the reverses in His life, but they stuck in faith to the end. Others fell by the wayside. Know the Truth First of all get the idea know the truth of that which you do become conscious of that which you desire and in that consciousness which you have you will be a light that will lead you on to the end that you desire There is but one ideal before me it is the ideal of an amanuputated race it is the ideal of a redeemed country That ideal stands before me at all times nothing in the world can shake me from that ideal The power of the State cannot shake me from that ideal the power of the world temporal cannot shake me from that ideal As the early Christian fathers suffered and died for the faith of Christ so must you if you believe in the ideal such an idealist as to be ready to die for that ideal otherwise you are not conscious It is through the consciousness of the ideal of Christ on the port of the early fathers that we have the great Christian religion today. If they had been (aint hearted if) they had fallen to the wayide because Christ was crucified then there would have been no Christian influence to guide us in this twentieth century. But those who believed in the idea, whether Peter James or John—were ready to suffer and die for that ideal It is immaterial how many idealists die so long as the ideal lives. The thing that you must not get away from and separate yourselves from is the ideal. Whether Marcus Garvey lives or dies or whether anybody else lives or dies that is not the question it is whether you are going to allow the ideal to live. The least of you who profess the faith of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the greatest idealist of the Association and in you the ideal shall live even as it lives in the breast and heart and soul of Marcus Garvey who by accident, founded the ideal. All of us are idealists. The world has been transformed by idealism. Believe me when I say everything you see that contributes to the happiness of humanity came from an ideal of the individual or the community. Whatsoever you see outside of the flesh human was an ideal. Everything you see was the ideal of some man. Humanity was the ideal of God the creator because before man was created God had the ideal in His mind to create man in a perfect state. So that your greatest possession is an ideal—the ideal of an emancipated race, the ideal of a re-designed country. Let nothing in the world turn you. I beseech you, from that ideal (Applause) Facing the Future Hon G E. Carter was the first speaker and said I want to talk to you briefly on "Facing the Future". The Negro of today in facing the future will have much to pause for and study for we must bear in mind that the future is dependent solely upon the past and the actions of the present. What the Negro has been doing in the past and what he is doing in the present will determine how he will be able to face the future, for you must know that one's real life is not in the past or the present but in the future. Therefore it behooves us to study well the past, to act well in the present, and the future will be secure because of the foundation that has been laid in the past and the things that we are doing in the present. What the Future Holds for the Negro? What does the future hold for the Negro? Surely there is much by way of real constructiveness. surely there is much that will bring to him a heritage of which he may well be proud. Surely the future holds its idealistic dream in seeing the one thing that he has yearns for—the one thing that he has his mind set on achieving. Surely the future will give to him that cherished wish—a free and redeemed Africa—simply because he has been faithful in emulating the example that has been given to him by one who was capable of dreaming a worthy dream. Surely he will be able to possess simply because he will address himself in the present to the carrying out of this idealistic dream, and then he will be secure in this long-wished-for desire. What does the future hold for him? Is it worthy of the striving therefor? Surely it is worthy of putting forth an effort. Surely the freedom of a people is worth the striving of many individuals. Have you ever stopped to think what it is to be home sick at heart—to be intagely wrought up—to be quickened and fired by a soul's desire? Have you ever paused long enough in the mad rush of life to realize that when a soul is stirred in the direction of devotion it can easily overcome every opposition. It can wrest victory from apparent defeat, keep hostage of the internal power, that swarms and moves the individual who has longed for freedom that can be interpreted in terms of love, justice and right The Future Besure The future of the Negro is secure, inasmuch as he shall be found to put forth just such efforts right now that shall give to him the thing that he is striving for. I am thinking of how this desire can so permeate our entire being that we will know no opposition. I am thinking of how we will go forward by seams and bounds appaired on by one thing and determined because of this spurring simply because we are desirous of a free and redeemed Africa. We shall go forth not in a despondent mood; we shall go forward not as the vanquished not as towards but we shall go forth as victors simply because we have faith in God faith in ourselves faith in those who have given us a program and faith in all those who make up our ranks and this because we know full well that by converted effort by concentration of forces by cooperation by all together if we will be able to achieve and in the achievement we then shall be able to back in the sunlight of Africa a sun and there as we ask we shall be able to sing the songs in our motherland that we cannot sing so well in a foreign of alien and but we shall be able to sing the songs out of the fullness of our soul simply because we will be home at last and that home at last will be in the other world but in our motherland Africa. Hon T W Anderson Spoake Hon. Thomas W. Anderson He con- laborated. He served for a while the next speaker and said that one of the great causes of the need of the Universal New Impulse was religion. We do believe in religion the speaker and I. We are in easy beauty but the effect is severe and and the others that we think. We do not take it and awaken as a close of me one without not. At this time Men and women determined to their religion. We do not believe in the not of religion that men need in when he was sick unto death. He asked his wife to send for two preachers. His wife said to him. Why do you want two? And he said I want two— Brother Bleg More and Brother Never Get Enough. These two brothers came and he said Atm up. His wife inquired why but he call at me up and place beside me to chair one on my right and the other on my left I want to like the Lord. Lord died. Brother Never Get Enough was seated on the right and Brother Bleg More was seated on the left and the old man and I just wanted to die like the Lord died. And they asked him how was that and he said between two thieves Laughter! We do not mean to say however that all of the eminent leaders of the great cause of religion can be placed in that class but for fear that we may follow one who is in that class we are very careful and because we are careful they say we do not believe in religion Cellief in Supreme Being We believe in the Supreme tutor of the Universe. We believe there is a great spirit that rules over this universe and shapes our destiny, tough how it as we may. We believe in the doctrines of the Man of Gailies. Jesus Christ did not come to preach religion. He came to preach a doctrine and He did preach a doctrine. He did not tell anybody go and get religion. Nowhere in the Bible do you find go and get it. It says become religious and do your religion. That is what we believe in—doing our religion. We believe in doing unto others as we would have them do unto us and we believe in doing them before they do us. (Applause and laughter) Not Satisfied with Political Conditions They tell us that we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not satisfied with the political conditions. Certainly we are not satisfied with political conditions if the Negro is excluded from the program. A few weeks ago in the courts of this city a juror asked to be excused. He was sitting on a case where the accused was a colored man. The judge asked him why he wished to be excused and he replied, "I am prejudiced." The judge said to him: "Do you know the defendant?" and he replied, "No." "Well," said the judge, "how can you be prejudiced?" and he said, "Because he is black and I have a natural prejudice." The judge said: "Do you know that black men once ruled the world? And do you know that he is going to rule it again?" "No, sir, I did not know it." Said the judge, "You are accused from the jury in the State of New York for 66 years." Not long ago a colored man was ordered to Sitlan Island to quality for a job of recruiting colored men. The man in charge said to him: "You have got a hard job because Garvay is making it hard for you; we do not know whether you will be able to recruit any colored men or not." The man said: "It is my duty to recruit and not discom Garvay; and he was told he would not suit for the job. --- Worried About the Movement It goes to show that we are worrying them. Not only are we worrying the two-by-four bootlegging so called leaders of our race, but we are worrying the white man too. The I nternational Negro Improvement Association is Making Its Way and it is going to continue making its way. We are disaffected with any political program that excludes the black men of the world. We are like Satan in Paradise Lost. Better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven. To rule is a worthy ambition and we the black people of the world are determined to rule. The signs of the times are in our favor. The great God is smiling upon us, and it is for us to quit crying now, quit sitting by the walls of Babylon and weeping but get ready to march and sing British Empire la Grumbling As you notice the trend of events you see the great British Empire is being broken up. Egypt has stepped aside, and in a little while India will have gone her way. Canada has practically divorced herself from the empire. On and on it goes and the British Empire is lettering. The French Empire soon will begin to letter. The Spanish Empire will be soon lettering also, and so will the Italian Empire and as they begin to letter we the black people will become firmer and when they fall we will use with healing in our wings and match on to Africa or any other portion of the world that we may desire to have as our own (strange applause). The black man has endured hardships long enough. All we have had is hardship. We are tired of hardship now we are tired of eating the lower head now we are going to eat the lower head in the ring. Aunt and laughter. And for you to how fast off that. If the Negroes of this world will underlie it, forget them we will march on siren, the song of victory. A boy learns to remember when Bengal was war, the tongue and tongue and hugged the face and they cried unto the world for one heard the cry. Why? He are the Negroes they are not united. There was no universal Negro Improvement Association at all, the no one to make the world listen to the cry of the Negroes there were no Negroes there of the League and no one heard the cry. Why? He is God sitting on the throne high and exalted. A few years later you said Deliming for help you said Deliming for help the world learned and the world learned and you whose heroes and angels had been saved you asked you go and fight the Germans who did done you wrong. You were told to give the Germans help when they were giving the help while we were giving the help when they were giving you not to enter the some held Meansie Georgia of Alabama when the Negroes which was better to make the world safe for democracy or me home safe for him. That is asked them of what he was asking Not Opposed to Fighting We are not opposed to fighting but we are opposed to fighting for other men who get grinding foot it. We will fight we have always fought we cannot help not fight that is why there is no much going on among our men. We will fight but we want our name to be just and we are determined we shall not fight black people and more on this side of judgment (diret applause). They say we will have to fight when the time comes. Oh no we don't have to do we can go to jail rather than fight Unite Our Efforts But the thing that we want to do is to unite our efforts. Let us stand behind the letter Negro improvement Association as we have never stood. PE-RU-NA FOLKS They are everywhere. Move people, probe-by have used Pe-r-u-n-a than any other medicine in the world. The record made by this great catarrh remedy is ever half a century of usefulness to the human race is a proud movement to the shift of Dr. S. R. Hartman. For Conghs, Colds, Catarrh, and Catarrhal Conditions Your neighbor or a relative package will tell you of the great merit and wonderful creative force carried by this well-known medicine. They will tell of the remarkable recovery of persons whose sufferings proved to be of a catarrh origin and whose improvement under the influence of Pe-r-u-n-a was steady from the date of the first dose. Mr. W. R. Hartman, Dunderry, R. C. I have been with Pe-r-u-n-a years for colds and catarrh. It has saved my life several times. I believe Pe-r-u-n-a the best medicine in the world for colds and catarrh. Mrs. Sarah R. Hoogen, R. P. D. No. 2, Bux No. 21, Custon, Olden— "We think Pe-r-u-n-a most promising for coldy coughs and all catarrhal conditions and try always to keep it on hand." Mary Fletch, R. P. D. No. 2, Bux No. 2, Argyro— "Pe-r-u-n-a has been my best friend for over twenty years. I try to keep a bottle in the home constantly." Mrs. Willie Prentice, Yokohama, Tumor— "I took Pe-r-u-n-a when suffering from systemic catarrh and it proved fine." A safe emergency remedy, Pe-r-u-n-a to the relief and protection in thousands of homes. The sole way to keep Pe-r-u-n-a in the home all the time. Dialect open having the old and original treatment for catarrh. SOLD EVERYWHERE TABLETS OR LIQUID THE PE-RU-NA COMPANY COLUMBUS, OHIO Ia Making Ita Way Tired of Hardships Unite Our Efforts Let us put our shoulders to the wheel and push let us put the program over this year, let the enemies howl and let the heathens rage and imagine vain things, but let us go on and push the battle to the gates. Let us fight on until we bring victory home perched upon our banners. Let us fight on until the dream of Marous Garvey shall become a reality (Applause). Let us fight on until the prayers of our forebears are fully answered, let us fight on until we get what we want; let us fight on and, having fought, still fight if it is necessary to. Most of us say to our children. If I catch you fighting I will whip you." I say, teach them to fight. The coward race will get no place except to remain at the footstool of other races. We are tired of being the foot we want to be the head now and we are going to be. If there are any cowards among us we will just run over them if we cannot convert them and scatter their dust to the four corners of the earth. Time to Stand Together The time has come for us to stand to together. The enemy is knocking at the gates. Let him knock. One of the enemies went to the city of New Orleans where six months ago he went in the interests of this organization, and spoke to an audience of 600 to 900 people. But he went there this time fighting the association, and spoke to forty people. He went on his flying trip around the circle in Chicago and spoke to six people and came out of the hall weeping. That same man had said. You can't put me out of the organization. I will stay in it and fight. I guess he wishes he had stayed in it and fought. Enemies Are Going Down That is what is going to become of all the enemies, they are going down because God is in this movement; it is a righteous movement and it is going forward. And we are asking the loyal men and women to stand behind the movement to stand behind Marquis Garvey. Some say "We are not fighting the movement, but Garvey." We, we have not reached that point yet where we can fight the movement and not fight Garvey or where we can fight Garvey and not fight the movement. When you fight Garvey you fight the movement, when you fight the movement you fight Garvey and we are not ready for elmer to be fought just yet and woe to any man who attempts (Great applause) Hon. R. L. Poston Speaks Hon R L. Poston, in a brief address emphasized the necessity at this time for strict vigilance because of the big and malicious propaganda that was being disseminated by the enemies in an effort to oust the leader of the movement and create sentiment against him. He drew attention to a recent circular published by Randolph and Owen in which they said Marcus Garvey is against the Jew and against the Irish. The Jews and the Irish, he said ruled the bench and it was a serious attempt to inflame their minds so that they were approached and told to get Marcus Garvey out on the way they would do so. He warned the members to be on the alert and not sleep on the job, or the enemy would be successful. Before closing he read a telegram received this afternoon from Detroit which stated that 3,000 active members of the Detroit Division pledged their support in defense of Mr Garvey, who had raised $213 this afternoon and expected to carry the amount to $500 toward the Defense Fund. He urged that the New York Division—the fountainhead—keep wide awake and not sleep on the job. No one of us, he said, questions the innocence of the President-General but we must play safe. We must bring to bear our complete strength and show the enemy on the outside that we are wide awake to our rights and that we will be willing to go to the last chastity in order that the leader of this great movement is protected. Works of Leading Race Artists Including Specimens of African Work to Be Shown Artistic and literary achievements of persons of African or Negro descent will be gathered in an exhibition in the fine art room of the Boston Public Library during October. At the same time there will be shown abolition memorials collected from the Garrison, Higginson, Eliot, Hollowell and other New England families that took a prominent part in the abolition movement. The exhibition will call attention to the founding of a room devoted to historical works, pictures and periodicals representing every line of Negro achievements, and dedicated to the memory of Miss Maria L. Badwin a teacher in the Cambridge Mass schools, and noted artist worker among the colored race. It is promised that the contribution of the Negro to the sum of the world progress as shown in this exhibition will prove surprising. Specimens of elementary art pottery and hand carved cabbage pots and dye potton cloths, and African wood carving will be on view honored by John E Bruce of New York city A single specimen of his wood carving a few years ago brought $6500. Modern art will be represented by American Negroes, of whom the foremost is Henry O Tanner whose works may be found in the Luxembourg in Paris and in public and private art galleries in the United States. Miss Laura Wheeler of Cheyney, Pa. Samuel O Collins of Washington, D.C. Albert A Smith of New York city, W M Farrow of Chicago, Ill. and William E Scott of Indianapolis, Ind. are other successful artists of today whose work will be shown In the field of literature the list of writers is long and crowded with romance, beginning with Antarctar the Negro-Arabian warrior poet of the sixteenth century Arabia. Africa and nearly all the countries of Europe have contributed writers of distinction. The more familiar names are Alexander Pushkin, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Dr W E. B. DuBois and James Weldon Johnson, who will speak on Negro achievement at the library on October 8. Equally notable is the list of composers and musicians whose works will be represented. Among these is George Bridgetower, for whom Beethoven wrote Kreutzer Sonata, and it was first played by Bridgetower and Beethoven from the manuscript copy The Boston Library is particularly rich in its collection of Afro-American folk songs and writings pertaining to the folk music of the race. The exhibition promises to make clear that American Negroes are entering the musical world as composers and interpreters, and as such are adding substantially to the progress of the nation MEDDLING ABROAD SPURNED BY U. S., SAYS BEVERIDGE COLUMBUS, O Oct 6—Former Senator Beveridge speaking at a State-wide Republican rally here today, made a vigorous attack upon international governmental policies during the administration of President Wilson. The League of Nations bore the brunt of his assaults. Stating that in foreign affairs the idea of medding with everything everywhere on earth was practiced by the Wilson regime Senator Beveridge said the American people had saved themselves from being chained to that body of death—the League of Nations." He added "We will continue faithfully to obey the people's emphatic mandate. We did not go to Genoa and we will not go to Venice. We will not mix up with foreign quarrels, plots and intrigues anywhere on earth. We will not go to war unless, and until, we are attacked."

S. Reed, a prominent real estate man of Corona, L. L. Miss Reed, who is just eighteen years old, is private secretary to Edna Worthley Underwood, an aminent white novelist and translator of Balkan and Russian literature. Mrs. Underwood, who is immensely fond of her secretary, very enthusiastically told a writer for the "Negro World that Miss Reed is a very capable secretary. She, without dictation, writes personal letters for Mrs. Underwood to the great short story writers of Europe. The girl speaks fluently three languages besides English — French, Spanish and German. Two years ago she graduated from Wadleigh High School. This fall she intends entering Columbia University where she will take up a course in comparative literature. At her apartment on Riverside Drive Mrs. Underwood, who is a great student of Negro history and progress and a sincere friend of the race, told the writer that Miss Reed prepared the manuscript for "The Penitent," a new historical novel just published by Houghton Mifflin Company, with Alexander Pushkin, the famous Negro poet of Russia, as the central figure. This great book, which will be reviewed in the Negro World next week, will be distributed to Negro booklovers by Mr George Young, of Young's Book Exchange. 135 West 135th street, New York City.

MAIR I went last week to a theatre in the Times Square district, where a picture entitled "Pink Gods" was being shown. It depicted clearly and brutally the attitude of the white man toward the native African in his own home Every black that talks of the impossibility of freeing Africa should see it. The producers of this picture have been horribly realistic in their reproduction of the life of Africa's great diamond fields. Pictures are shown of blacks being X-rayed to find out if they had swallowed diamonds, and in the case of one that had, was taken on to the operating room scene, where his fellow laborers having first bean called to witness his misery, the victim is laid out and given other preparatory to cutting into his abdomen for the "stolen" diamond. The phraseology of the title smacks strongly of Dixieland, such complimentary epithets as "black swine," black beast" and others equally praiseworthy, being scattered throughout the picture. Allogether it is enough to make any respecting and race-conscious Negro squirm with rage. The thought is more and more forbly being brought home to us that such a thing as justice for black people under a white government is as hopeless a dream as plaiting ropes of sand. That the whites look upon the entire earth as their, and the non-white people in it as their God-given slaves, is as evident to the thinking man as the nose on his face, the opinion of white people in black skins to the contrary notwithstanding. Right after clenching my fists and grinding my teeth at the sights portrayed in "Pink Gods," and while on the home-bound train, I read an article in the Negro World, reproduced from the "Buffalo (N. Y.) American," entitled "America's Need for the Negro." The effect that it had on me was the same as a lighted match has on gasoline—I fairly bodied over with indignation. The writer (white of course) was kind enough to accord us the place in his opinion of being an asset to the United States, and even a potential necessity. "Home well-meaning people," he said, "of both the white and colored races have advocated the idea of the Negroes' return to Africa—that with the advantage gained from his experiences in America he is well equipped to build a civilization in his native land, and that it would be better both for this country and for Africa that he did so. But the consensus of opinion is that this is not possible, and that were it possible it would not be best, especially for the United States. From the economic viewpoint, especially that of manual labor, America needs the Negro. If Negro labor was a good thing for this country, economically speaking during slavery, it is better with his freedom. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN MISS AMANDA REED NEGRO KILLED AND MANY HURT IN RACE RIOT MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct 8--Edward Pearl, Negro, was shot and killed, Harbert Miller white was shot in the hip, and a score of Negroes were beaten on the head and dragged out of street cars in race clashes here to-flight. An outburst of protest from white citizens followed the capture of Joe Terrell, Negro, charged with the murder of George Wilson, game warden, who was shot Saturday night while searching for Joe Glennon, a Negro, who was reported to have killed Albert Sanson, policeman, last Thursday night. Wilson died this morning, the announcement of his death being followed by the gathering of a mob at the county jail. Three companies of National Guard were ordered out soon after dark to guard the fall, where it was feared an attack would be made in an attempt to lynch Terrell. The mob being barred from the fall, stopped Negroes and a dozen or more were beaten. Negro labor made possible the swift reconstruction of the South after the Civil War." And then he goes on to say that, "In the absence of comparatively much foreign labor, the Negro as a worker is practically necessary to economic success in the South, and is a valuable asset to any part of the country." When will the blathering idiots such as the "Friends of Negro Freedom," realize that our status as a race is already absolutely fixed in the white man's mind? Will they never understand that we are swiftly and effectively being eliminated from all but the very lowest lines of endeavor? Think again over those words and assimilate their meaning—"in the absence of comparatively much foreign (white) labor the Negro as a worker is practically necessary." Now this entire country had been terribly set back by the Civil War, and our labor made possible its rapid reconstruction. Can you think, good reader, what it would have meant to us if all the labor wasted on a thankless and cruel people had been utilized in furthering our own advancement? I do not believe, as many do, that these wise birds that fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association do so from a sense of what they think is best for the race at large. I think they are opportunists of the meanest kind; that they are seizing on the horse of the Universal's popularity to ride into the limelight of public notice for their own salish ends. They would turn the Negro from following the road to nationhood by showing him how impossible it all is to succeed in the big venture. What then? Must we remain and with our blood and sweat continue to strengthen the already powerful nations of the Western world, thus making them more able to oppress us? But they started the fight too late. We, the Negroes of the world, are the people whose bleeding banks have been used as the gory rungs of the ladder on which white civilization climbs upward, a ladder that will be thrown away as useless when once it has served its purpose. To try to convince me that a people that can be as frank as the whites have been in their public expressions regarding us will one day become humane and give us men's treatment is trying to convince a rat that he runs no danger attending a convention of cats. Most white people think, as one Southern soldier said not long ago, that we are too busy "dow-timing" to notice what they are doing; and that this is true of the mass of Negroes is painful. BUT HISTORY SHOWS THAT THE MASSES ARE BUT AS DRIED FAGGOTS WAITING TO BE SET ON FIRE BY THE NEW WHO THINK; and even as the Anglo-Saxon today dominates the very people whose ancestors thought him too full and brutal to be even a good slave.

In order to clear up a misunderstanding caused therefrom, Miss Rose today made the following a statement to the Negro press "I find that my article reporting the round table on work with the Negroes held in connection with the American Library Association meeting in Detroit has been widely misunderstood. I am glad to take the first opportunity to make my attitude clear "I do not believe in segregation in libraries by race or color. I do not believe in branches for Jews Chinese or Negroes. But I do believe in group service. If a library is situated in an Italian district it should especially cater to the kind of literature that Italians would naturally want to read and the kind of interests which dominate their daily life. This would not exclude books on other subjects nor would it mean that no one but Italians would be welcome at the library. "In the same way at the 135th street branch of the library. New York city, I have endeavored since I came to take charge of it to make a special effort to see that the library contained the kind of reading that colored people wished and were interested in, as well as general literature. I have made every endeavor to make welcome there not simply but colored people, but any person who wished to come." "It was this attitude that I tried especially to express before the round table of the American Library Association I had there two sets of auditors—Southern librarians, who believed in special library service for Negroes, but who were absolutely certain this could be furnished only in segregated libraries. There were also Northern librarians, who were only partially awake to the demands of Negro constituents of their libraries, but who when they did awaken were liable to assume without question that Negro patrons could only be adequately served in segregated Negro branches. In my statement before the round table and in my report of what the round table did I was trying to speak to these two sets of librarians, to insist, on the one hand, that segregation was not the only, nor to my mind the best, answer to the library service problem for Negroes; and, on the other hand, that there was a duty which even so am I convinced that the time is coming in the not too distant future when men of African descent will tell their children of a mighty Anglo-Saxon civilisation THAT ONCE EXISTED. No, we are not all good-timing, some of us are keeping tab on every dirty move made by our overlords, and are telling it to the black children of today, "lest (as a race) we forget." I honestly believe my race to be, potentially at any rate, superior to any other race extant in that we have, in addition to the aptitude for modern progressiveness, those qualities of humility and forgiveness which among others, and more especially the white races, are conspicuous by their absence. The turn of the tide is here, and in a feeble attempt at poetry I call to the scattered members of my down-trodden race Bons of Africa, arise! Lo, your freedom's day is dawning And the war-fire in the skies But precedes a better morning. Do your souls not burn within you? (Ugh! That smell of black flesh accelerates.) toasting) Not my brother's body only. But my spirit, too, is roasting. libraries, North and South, owed to their colored constituents. "I met great opposition, particularly from the South, because of my stand, and I am sure that many of the Southern librarians would hear with astonishment and perhaps with ill concealed delight the misinterpretation which some colored journals have put upon my attitude." THE CONQUEROR OF JACK DEMPSEY AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE THIS WEEK John Lester Johnson, who has a victory over Jack Dampsey is appearing at the Lafayette this week with the musical satire, "The Girl Behind the Counter." While Johnson is advertised as the feature, this spindel musical comedy presented by Mrs. All K. Dow, comes in for its part of the applause. This show can boast of bringing to Harlem the prettiest collection of girls seen here this season, and a well trained bunch, too. Jim Burrus takes the lead in the comedy and takes his audience with him throughout the show. In the cast are such stars as Dick Wells, Babe Jackson, Toy Brown Jenny Dancy, Percy Colston, Julia Allen, Percy Colston and others. The show is worth seeing and though it is rather lengthy there are few idle moments in it. The music of the show is good John Lester Johnson entertained the audience with a varied program. His jumping the rope to the tune of "Dear Old Southland" was as interesting as the two short rounds of boxing exhibition he gave with "Buddy" Jackson, who fought Harry Wills in Jersey not long ago. It was announced that John Lester Johnson had issued a challenge to Battling Siki who recently conquered Georges Carpentier. Johnson will have to put on a little more speed than he exhibited Monday night if he wishes to go the distance with Siki. But maybe the excuse Johnson will give is that the affair Monday night was only an exhibition. Johnson is a splendid specimen of humanity. OBSERVATIONS The phrasemaker puts it this way:— "Bow a thought, reap an act; Sow an act, reap a habit; "We are today the result of our past thinking and the character of our thoughts today determine the place we will occupy in the world tomorrow." A writer who was not paid by the column or page said:— "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." The same thought dressed three different ways. All three forms of phraseology can be made practicable and fashionable. They will fit any form of living. Satisfaction guaranteed. Reference: Anyone who knowingly tries to live right.

HAS THE AGE OF MIRACLES PASSED? THIS is the title of a suggestive editorial by Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, the Dean of Negro journalism, which appeared in the Negro Daily Times on October 5 and which we take pleasure in reproducing on the editorial page of the Negro World. It is a noble and uplifting editorial. In the course of his editorial Mr. Fortune said: "In his splendid address at Liberty Hall last Sunday evening Sir William H. Ferris, the Literary Editor of the Negro World, got into deep water when he declared that 'the days of physical miracles have passed,' and went on to show that Africa will only be redeemed when the people of Africa and their descendants everywhere will redeem themselves by their brain power, scientific knowledge, industrial and commercial force, and the proper military spirit. As we listened to the speaker, we were puzzled that he could not see that Liberty Hall, in which he spoke, was itself a physical miracle, and that the vast audience before him was gathered together in that hall by the miraculous influence of Mr. Marcus Garvey, who made possible the building of it and who was one of his audience. The Universal Negro Improvement Association could not have been created except by a physical miracle produced by a physical body containing a miraculous spirit. All this was obvious enough to us as we listened to Sir William." Then Mr. Fortune goes on to say, "As a matter of fact, it is impossible for the spiritual power to do anything tangible except through a physical potentiality, the highest sign of which is man, the miracle that God in the beginning created. The electric light, the telephone, and a hundred other inventions of Mr. Edison are physical miracles as much as the aeroplane, the submarine, the railroad and wireless telegraphy. The railway train in action, the telegraph message delivered to us, the telephone that answers to our service are all physical miracles, created by the spiritual forces inherent in man, and more in evidence in our times than in other times." This is a passage worthy of a Carlyle or Emerson at their best. The spiritual achievements of Marcus Garvey, and the physical achievements of Tesla, Edison, Bell, Lake, Curtiss, the Wright Brothers, Marconi, Roentgen and Sir William Crookes were marvelous, wonderful, grand, sublime and magnificent. But so were the seven wonders of the ancient world mentioned by Antipater of Sidon in an epigram in the second century, B. C. They were "the walls of Babylon, the statue of Zeus by Phillas at Olympia, the hanging gardens of Babylon, the Coldssus of Rhodes, the pyramids of Egypt, the mausoleum at Hallcarnassus and the temple of Artemis (Diana) at Ephesus." Another list combined the walls and hanging gardens under one head and added the Pharos of Alexandria. These seven wonders of the ancient world and the wonders of the modern world mentioned by Mr. Fortune indicate the triumph of mind over matter and remain as outstanding monuments to the creative thought and constructive genius of man. But this is not what the world commonly regards as miracles; not what the theologians and philosophers debated about in the nineteenth century. What Is a Miracle? This is how Hume, the famous critic of Christianity, defined miracles in his "Human Understanding of Miracles." Note—"A sensible may be accurately defined as a transgression of a law of nature by a particular volition of the Deity, or by the interposition of some inhuman agent." Channing, the great Unitarian sage, thus defines miracles in His Perfect Life," page 247, "What are miracles? They are the acts and manifestations of a Spiritual Power in the universe, superior to the powers and laws of matter." Now the Biblical animals are in this category. It is stated in the Bible that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still and that that immense burning ball, a million miles in diameter, stood still in the Heaven and permitted Joshua to wallop his enemies. It is also stated that Jehovah moved back the waters of the Red Sea and permitted the children of Israel to walk over dry land and that they came together again and everywhere the pursuing Egyptians. It is stated that the Jacobites timed Joshua matched around Jericho seven times, blowing hurling and that the walls of Jericho fell down. It is stated that Daniel entered the low des insured, tarred there and came out alive and master. It is stated that Shadrach, Mishach and Abimigo spent several hours in a fiery forrest and pains out unscorched. It is said that the lance of Nuxurth turned water into wine at Cum, and that he used it to be the wife of a man born blind and made him so blind that he was made blind with two leaves of bread and wine and had his own blindness left, that he raised Jethro's daughter from the blind and raised Jethro from the blind. The circumstances and resemblance have caused whether these things were true or false. How all related that there was a Spiritual Power in the mind of the blind and blinded man, and how many has laboured on us. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 14, 1922 Motta, who spoke the day before, and of the small but powerful country that he represents. This gets him loud applause at the very start of his address. Then M. Bellegarde very adroitly states why he, the representative of a small republic, dares to butt into the affairs of an assembly which handles weighty problems. He says that the remoteness and detachment of his country enables him to take a disinterested and impartial position. After this splendid and tactful introduction, the Haitian delegate begins to plunge into deep waters. He first epitomizes the work of the league and then asks why, though respected, it fails to arouse the passionate enthusiasm of the peoples of the world. He states that it is largely because the league failed to fully realize the high hopes which it excited among the nations of the world, who are still fighting. He says this is partly due to the present political and economic conditions of the world and the difficulties caused by adjusting the delicate problems which arise between nations. Then M Bellegarde refers to the three great nations who are outside of the league and pays a tribute to the United States of America. He gets more applause. Then he gets laughter and applause when he refers to Lord Robert Cecil, Lord Balfour and M Leon Bourgeois, and suggests that they might agree upon the formula of the League of Nations being boldly prudent or prudently bold. He drives in a nail here when he says that their chief business is to give the League of Nations the authority it needs to accomplish its tasks. He refers in a complimentary manner to the good will of the Serb-Groat-Slovene State, to M Briand, the spokesman of the Supreme Council, who took up the question of Upper Silesa, and to Viscount Ishni's tribute to the Germans and Poles. He states that peace will only come between nations when international questions are settled by arbitration and that it is the task of the League of Nations to establish this international public order. His lofty conception of the aims of the League of Nations, his breadth of view, his sense of fair play and his magnanimity of spirit up to this point won for M Bellegrade the confidence and good will of his audience. And he makes no bad breaks when he comes to his issue. South Africa, as colored orators sometimes do. He opens up the subject by mentioning that Sir Edgar Harris Walton spoke of a rising in Southwest Africa. His keen remark that "Taxation is the usual form in which civilization makes its appearance to savages" was greeted with laughter. He tells how the Bundel Hottentots could not pay the heavy tax on dogs and how, although they did not rebel, machine-guns, artillery and aeroplanes were sent against them, and though unarmed, they were massacred. His closing statement, "That women and children should have been massacred in the name of the League of Nations and under its protection is an abominable outrage which we cannot suffer," was greeted by loud and prolonged applause. Lhim Koot could not have presented a more masterly grasp of this subject, and Lloyd George could not have struck a more popular note than did the dark-complexioned statesman from Haiti whose address will live in the annals of eloquence. another section of the Negro World we print a news story, taken from the columns of the New York Evening Post, of a lecture delivered by the Right Rev Edward Hutson, D.D. Archbishop of the West Indies, before the Triennial Synod of the Anglican Church of the Province of the West Indies, which met a few days ago at the Church Missions Home, 281 Fourth Avenue, New York City. We print this story, not because we want to be "fair" to anybody, but because we would like our brethren down in the West Indies to know the kind of clerical misanthrophes they've got to deal with on the Isles. After saying "there is virtually no social intercourse between the two races" in the West Indies, which is a monumental lie, the distinguished gentleman goes on to say that "The blacks (they's got a fondness for that word blacks) in the British Provinces are not so well educated among the rank and file as in this country. They go to schools where they are taught to read and write, and lead an agricultural life in houses where conditions are very primitive and where they do not have anything to read, so that the most of them soon forget it." Of course, we are not going to whelm our readers—the facts speak for themselves, with illustrations to the contrary, but why didn't the comment archbishop state who is responsible for this tragic condition? Still, how can one expect a West Indian bishop, scrambling to get on the right side of the American bourgeoisie, to say as "radical" a thing as that? At a time when the British Colonial Office—witness the efforts of Major Woods, the result of which was embodied in his scholarly report which was critically reviewed by the Rev Dr A. H Maloney, now of the chair of psychology of Wilberforce, in these columns a few weeks ago—is attempting to adjust the social, political, and economic status of the Negro in the West Indies, it is regrettable that men like Archbishop Hutson use so little discretion in trying to lambast the West Indians by stirring up the antipathies of middle class Americans FOR a long time Mr. Herbert De Lisser, the mulatto editor of "The Jamaica Gleaner," has been throwing stones of abuse and vituperation at the noble work the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing. We have not taken the trouble to counteract his rantings because it is natural that a man of Mr. De Lisser's type should oppose the U. N. I. A. It is natural because Mr. De Lisser edits a paper owned by and is in the employ of a wealthy West Indian Hebrew, who, of necessity, is out to exploit and keep in ignorant subjection the black natives of the isle. De Lisser belongs to the tribe of "intellectuals" that find its prototype in Negro leaders like W F. B Du Bois. Consequently any effort, radical or otherwise, to lift the Negro of Jamaica or elsewhere out of the gutter of ignorance and oppression is looked down upon by him with suspicion and contempt. In a recent editorial in his journal he arrogantly states: "We assume that most of our readers readily understand why we have given some attention to the 'Back to Africa' movement. We do not regard that movement seriously; it will never get farther than where it is at present; it is, indeed, not a movement at all, but a mere idea; it has not its foundations in reality." If this had come from the childish editorial balderdash of, let us say, the Amsterdam News, it would do; we would dismiss it with a wave of the hand as something to be expected. But coming from the pen of a man who is reputed to be scholarly, and abreast of the times, it is not only astonishing, but laughably outrageous. Here is a man saying that a concern that employs hundreds of men and women, that owns property and business to approximately half a million dollars, "has not its foundations in reality." But De Lisser, like the rest of his ilk, is only "passing the buck." It is his professional duty to underrate the work the association is doing. Still there is some consolation on our side of the fence. With all the malice and hate and venom that are directed against us, the association is yet plunging ahead. Surely there must be something besides sheer bombast and drum-heating at the bottom of it. whether He ever transcended the laws of matter which He Himself legislated. Thus if a hurricane drove back the waters of the Red Sea from its bed, there was no miracle there, because that was a manifestation of natural forces and natural laws. But if God commanded the waters to move out of their bed, that would be an interference with the laws and forces of nature, and hence a miracle. If the presence of another planetary body and its attractive force caused the earth to slow up on its revolution around its axis, that would be no miracle. But if the earth stopped revolving around its axis for two or three hours and thus delayed the coming of darkness at the behest of Joshua, that would be a miracle. A miracle, technically speaking, is not man using the forces and laws of matter to produce tangible results, but an arbitrary interference with and temporary rescinding of the forces of nature and laws of matter by Divine fiat. As Mr Fortune impimates planting a few seeds in a garden and getting a crop of wheat in a few months and throwing a few fish in a lake and seeing those fish multiply by the score every few months are wondrous, as marvelous, and as mysterious as feeding five thousand with two loaves and five fishes. That out of a single cell, a small bit of protoplasm, the wonderful brain of a Plato, an Aristotle, a Shakespeare, a Newton and a Kant could be evolved in thirty years is really wondrous, as marvelous and as mysterious as the creation of Adam, full grown to manhood, and of Eve, full grown to womanhood, in a single day. But they are not technically regarded as miracles because we can trace the process of growth and development from the seed to plant, fruit, flower and tree, and from the cell to the adult organism and the man of intellect. Everyday happenings, though marvelous and mysterious, which follow natural law are not technically regarded as miracles. That term is reserved for those exceptional happenings which transgress and transcend the laws of nature at the wish and will of the Creator. The Rise of a Race But it is not our purpose to write a theological dissertation upon the possibilities and probabilities of miracles. Ours is a simpler task. When we said in Liberty Hall, "The days of physical miracles have passed," and that Africa will only be redeemed when the people of Africa and their descendants will redeem themselves by their brain power, scientific knowledge, industrial and commercial force and proper military spirit, we meant that the Negro must go through the same discipline and training that other races have gone through who have reached the top. If the ancestors of the present dominant races had not planted universities and schools ten centuries ago, if they had not absorbed Arabian culture and rediscovered the Greek world, if they had not ingested the printing press, if they had remained as untutored and as illiterate as Julius Caesar found them, they never would have acquired the intellectual foundation upon which they could erect the superstructure of modern science, modern law, modern government, modern industry and modern commerce. This being the case, we need not expect that the Almighty will dispatch Michael, Gabriel or other angels with flaming swords and charriots of fire from Heaven to redeem Africa. But the African, like the Celt, Saxon, Teuton and Jap, must possess himself of the storehouse of knowledge which mankind has accumulated during the past four thousand years. Then, and then only, will he be able to unlock the doors of modern progress, then, and then only, will he be able to guide himself through the labyrinth of modern problems. If it took Immanuel Kant, the greatest metaphysician the world has produced, the Copernicus of modern thought, twenty-five years to critically survey the philosophical thinking of twenty-four centuries from Thales to Hume, before he could produce his famous "Critique of Pure Reason"; if it took William James over twenty years of general study and twelve years of special observation of psychological phenomena and facts before he could produce his "Principles of Psychology" the psychological masterpiece of modern times, no Ethiopian savant can expect to construct a new philosophy, a new theology and a new religion that will stand the test of time in a couple of years. If it took 300 years to transform Manhattan Island into the world's center of modern commerce, with its skyscrapers, elevated roads, subways, suspension bridges and underground tubes connecting Brooklyn, New York and Jersey City, its Riverside Drive, Pennsylvania Railroad Station, Cathedral of St. John the Divine and College of the City of New York, which city alone has seven architectural and engineering wonders that match and seven wonders that surpass the seven wonders of Antipater, the jungles, wilds and forests of Africa cannot be transformed into commercial marts of commerce, teeming with steam heated and electric lighted flats, humming factories, banks and mercantile houses in a day and generation. This is not meant to discourage the dusky sons of Ham, but to remind them that thought plus hard work alone lifts races and individuals. The Negro can do just what other men have done and are doing. But before doing it he needs the same severe training and the same ripe experience that they have acquired. With this training and experience, the sky is his limit. THE SPEECH OF M. BELLEGARDE WE will next week reproduce in full the speech of M Bellegarde, Haitian Ambassador to France and delegate to the League of Nations, which was made at the Seventh Plenary Meeting of the Third Assembly of the League of Nations. We trust that the readers of the Negro World and Negro Daily Times, from which we derived it, will carefully read and reread this speech. This speech is not only a fearless defense of the South African in his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but it is an intellectual masterpiece. It is a great speech in the same sense that Demosthenes' oration on the crown, Cicero's oration on Catiline, Burke's speeches on conciliation with America, Lord Erskine's speech, Patrick Henry's speech, Daniel Webster's Seventh of March speech, Lincoln's Gettysburg speech, Curtiss' oration on "The Duty of the American Scholar," and Emerson's "Harvard Divinity School" address were great speeches. It has the comprehensive grasp of mind and logical sequence which would make it worthy of inclusion in Baker's "Specimen of Argumentation." The speech shows a philosophical grasp of the problems confronting the League of Nations and a penetrating insight into its possibilities and difficulties. And the now famous speech is also characterized by remarkable tact, sanity and poise. It contains sweetness as well as light. Those who heard Prof. J. J. Adams, the delegate to the League of Nations from the Third International Convention of Negroes, will recall his judicial mind, his illuminating intelligence, his polished language, his well modulated voice and his impressive personality. Well, M. Bellegarde, his fellow countryman, seems of the same fine, manly type. M. Bellegarde does not start in a slam hang, sledge hammer manner, as so many popular orators do. His first gains the confidence of his hearers. He pays a beautiful tribute to the admirable speech of M. ANTI-WEST INDIAN PROPAGAND: "THE GLEANER" AND THE U. N. I. A HAS THE AGE OF MIRACLES PASSED? It is so easy to deceive ourselves that we often do not know when we are deceived. There are so many who have eyes and see not and ears and hear not that it is quite surprising that we read the Holy Bible as to the word only and do not grasp at all the spirit. Some of the wisest men are led astray when they go outside of their special gift to interpret psychical phenomena with which they are not familiar. Henry Ford, reputed to be the wealthiest man today, did this when he rushed into politics without having read the Constitution of the United States. Thomas E. Edison did this when he undertook to explain the intricacies of mysticism. Sir Oliver Lodge and H G. Wella, preeminent in their spheres, did this when they began to drive in occultism and fell down flat. In his splendid address at Liberty Hall last Sunday evening Sir William H. Ferria, the literary editor of The Negro World, got into deep water when he declared that "the days of physical miracles have passed," and went on to show that Africa will be redeemed only when the people of Africa and their descendants everywhere will redeem themselves by their brain power scientific knowledge, industrial and commercial force and the proper military spirit. As we listened to the speaker we were puzzled that he could not see that Liberty Hall, in which he spoke, was itself a physical miracle, and that the vast audience before him was gathered together in that hall by the miraculous influence of Mr Marcus Garvey, who made possible the building of it and who was one of his audience. The Universal Negro Improvement Association could not have been created except by a physical miracle produced by a physical body containing a miraculous spirit. This was obvious enough to us as we listened to Sir William. As a matter of fact it is impossible for the spiritual power to do anything tangible except through a physical potentiality the highest sign of which is man the miracle of all that God in the beginning created. The electric light the telephone and a hundred other inventions of Mr Edison are physical miracles, as much so as the aeroplane submarine, the railroad and wireless telegraphy Luther Burbank has produced many physical miracles by crossing certain plants and producing a new variety of vegetable or fruit. The great and towering buildings of Harlem are physical miracles created by the genius of man. We should make no mistake about this. The railway train in action, the telegraph message delivered to us, the telephone that answers to our service, are all physical miracles, created by the spiritual forces inherent in man and more in evidence in our times than in other times. Everywhere we look we see something new under the sun and much that we regard as old. We find physical miracles, but we do not regard them as such. Why? Because most of us look through a glass darkly and are disposed to discount God's command to man in the beginning to subdue the forces of nature to his uses. He could not do this without possessing the spirit power to create the things we have mentioned. They are physical miracles, produced by the spiritual power which should be in man for his best good and the best good of all creatures and not for their worst good. Look abroad over the civilization in which we live and we shall be astonished at the physical miracles that everywhere appear for our pleasure in observing them or for our service in using them. Man created these physical miracles by the spiritual power made a part of his creation in the beginning—Negro Dalliy Times DEATH OF MISS JESSE SHARPERSON We are pained to learn of the and death of Miss Jessie Sharperson on Monday, October 2, 1922, after a brief illness.

Congressmen, Returned From Abroad, Say Treaty Must Be Revised WASHINGTON Oct 3—Revision of the Treaty of Veragilles will have to come if Europe is to survive This firm conviction was expressed today by some of the members of the congressional delegation just back from the interparliamentary union meeting in Vienna in further commenting on their studies of the situation abroad. While their inspection of the operation of the League of Nations at its seat in Geneva strengthened the opposition of those unprejudiced to the United States entering the league, first-hand observations in the countries of the victors as well as the vanquished led Senators and Representatives to declare that America's greatest satisfaction should rest in her refusal to bind herself to enforce the iniquitous part. JUST THE PLAN Attend the Regular RECEPTION A Why You Think the Turk Is "Unspeakable" And the Turk as He Really Is to a Careful American Observe. By PAUL BOWERMAN --- Do you have been in Turkey? Are they really as terrible as one heart? I have answered this unvarying formula at least once a day since my return from the Near East. Without exception my questioners have entertained an identical opinion of the peoples among whom I was thrown, that the Greeks are an enterprising and worthy people, that the great majority of Armenians have been massacred, and that the Turks are the most villainous and detestable race on the face of the earth. The unanimity of belief would be almost incredible if I did not keep in mind that my own opinion was similar to theirs prior to the day that I disembarked at Constantinople. My change of viewpoint had begun even a few days earlier, for I had been reading Pierre Loti's "The Dienchanted" on the boat. There was plenty of time and opportunity to puzzle over this after I had gone through my own "disenchantment," and the reasons were not difficult to discover Very few Americans ever find their way to Turkey except as passing tourists, and those few are principally engaged in missionary work Our information, then, comes from the following sources, from the English, who are intensely concerned, politically and commercially, in getting control of Constantinople and the Dardanelles, and who, for that reason, have supported the Greeks on every possible occasion, and who have lost no opportunity to justify their action by placing the Turkish people in an unfavorable light before the world, from our own missionaries, who are often prejudiced in their ideas regarding minorities differences, since their life work is devoted to the spreading of Christianity, from traveling correspondents, who seldom spend more than a week in "getting up" their articles and who depend upon a dozen hurried interviews for their information and, lastly, from the tens of thousands of Greeks and Armenians in our own country, there being practically no Turks to defend themselves by counter-propaganda. It is easy to see from this that whether the information is correct or incorrect, it comes from only one side of the fence and that is dangerous and unfair. Conscious and Unconscious Blahonesty There is no better way of setting forth the truth of the matter as I saw it than by recalling in succession the various reactions I experienced in and around Constantinople. As an instructor in an American college, whose students were drawn from the wealthiest and most respected families, I was particularly fortunate in coming into close and intimate contact with young Levantines of every nationality. It was not surprising to find them almost universally dishonest, for here was the Oriental and semi-Oriental mind confronted by the incongruous ideals and austerity of our Occidental civilization. They all cheated flairlessly. Little by little I began to discover that dishonesty could be separated into two different categories—conscious and unconscious dishonesty. Into the first category fell the Greeks, Bulgarians and Armenians—all those, in fact, who lived nominally in the western fashion, who were Christians, and who claimed to despise the Mohammedan faith and civilization. These boys knew well enough the difference between right and wrong as we understand it, and deliberately chose the wrong. They would never admit cheating, even though I had caught them red-handed. One day an Armenian showed me a watch his father had given him for completing his studies, adding that his father had praised his cleverness in escaping detection during the examinations. Such instances were the rule rather than the exception. This. I decided, was conscious dishonesty. The Turkish boys, on the other hand, were a novel experience. Quite as dishonest as the others, they could see no good reason for being otherwise, and were therefore quite free to acknowledge their guilt. They were openly amused at my attempts to in- outlake in them the principles of personal honor. It was as if they were listening to a language which had no meaning for them. And indeed, it had little. I was dealing with the Oriental mind, about which I knew nothing at the time. To them I was a foreigner, a "Frank." a person who worshiped a strange God. To them life was easy-going, a thing to be enjoyed with as little self-sacrifice and self-denial as possible. I had come from a distant and unknown country to speak about the delights of hard work, of clear thinking, of businesslike devotion to strange ideals. I might just as well have talked about the fourth dimension. This was unconscious dishonesty The Greeks and Armenians far out-stripped the Turks in aptitude and idleness. Very few of the latter were really good students. The former learned to speak English with astonishing rapidity, they absorbed elementary mathematics with avidity, for there they learned the essentials of business, which is their forte. The Turks were indifferent to commerce, preferring those studies which appealed to their emotion and imagination. Money was the unconscious prompter in the minds of the Greeks and Armenians, beauty was the inspiration of the Turks. At my hand was the most fascinating and bewildering of cities, a seething caldron of racial hatred, the battleground of a dozen centurions, and the depository of some of the most magnificent monuments which have come down to us from antiquity. Of the three smaller cities which make up Constantinople, I went first to Pera, the European quarter Pera is in the hands of the Western peoples, who have raised it in the likeness of their own cities, with department stores, hotels, women's shops, and all the other appurtenances of our mode of living. During the day it is banal and harmless enough. Under the cloak of evening, however, it is transformed into a riot of drunkenness and vice. Vicious cabbars and foul-drinking dens appear in the dim-lighted streets, taking possession of Pera like a swarm of nocturnal harpies. Then it is that one sees brawling crowds fighting in side alleys, intoxicated women in the last stage of abandonment, and men knived or murdered by unseen hands. Our much-vaunted modernity and progressiveness are found in Pera, but our weaknesses are still more apparent. And this is what we have brought to Constantinople, for the Turks are conspicuously absent from the activities of Pera. Down the hill is Galata, the shipping quarter, inhabited principally by Greeks. There are no words adequate to picture Galata in the hideousness of its depravity. It is a festering breeding place of white slavery, disease and optum dens. The worst of it has sprung up since the Allies took the control of the city out of the hands of the Turkish authorities. Before the war it was no worse than any seaport of the Mediterranean. Now it stands a terrible charge against the West—for in Galata the Turks are as little in evidence as in Pera. The city of Stamboul presents a striking contrast to the two European quarters. The Turks have kept it much as it has been for centuries. Broad, shaded avenues lead to the magnificent mosques and monuments, many of which were erected before the discovery of America. The narrow side streets are humming with the noises of the shops and bazaars—the noise of industry rather than the noise of rioting. Here one sees the copper-smiths and carpenters and rug-weavers buay with their quaint tools, producing articles that delight the tourist by their fineness delicacy. Here coffee shops take the place of beer halls, for the Mohammedan is forbidden by the Koran to indulge in intoxicating drink. It is a glimpse into a colorful life that has no counterpart in our civilisation. Over everything hovers a delightful sense of well-being, contentment, happiness, and honest endeavor. No flaming cabarets singing with cheap music, no street-women clutching at the sleeves of passing men, no brawling in obscure cafes. When night steals over Stamboul, the streets are deserted, and an unattended woman might walk in safety from one end of the marvelous old city to the other. Now that I have left them behind, the three cities assume distinct personalities in the calmness of recollection. Pera brings to mind a picture of wealth, fast living and glided vice; Galata still provokes a chudder, and a sense of nausea sweeps over me as I recall scenes of depravity that are stamped on my memory; Stamboul returns like a soothing balm, a precious fragment of beauty stoning for the uginess of the others, one arresting gesture in a mad plunge toward perdition. And Stamboul belongs to the Turks—the unspeakable Turks. In the autumn of 1830 more than a hundred thousand Russian refugees descended upon Constantinople without warning, for the most part penitents, and suffering for want of food and drink. Fearing an epidemic, the Allied control refused to allow them to land for several days, and the dirty crowded ships lay at another in the bay. Every effort was made to keep them alive by taking out bread and water, but the city was already overrun with refugees, making the task of adequate relief almost impossible. One stormy night I went in a small skiff with a Russian boy who was searching for the skim that contained THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 his family. We took with us as much bread as the skiff would hold. It was an unforgettable scene. In the blackness of the night one could hear the meaning and sobbing on every side from the dark unlit ships that heaved at their anchors like looming ghosts. We discovered the water to be swarming with little boats similar to ours, and likewise crammed with bread and water. We came upon a dozen of them clustered about the lowered gangway of a refugee ship. We heard the voices of the boatmen and the hysterical shouting of the starving people on board. Then we discovered that the mysterious boatmen were bargaining with the Russians, offering bread and water in exchange for jewelry and gold — and the Russians, jammed in so tightly that they could not even sit down, frantom for a drop of water created with hunger were giving their last possessions, all that stood between them and starvation, if they should ever reach the shore. The boatmen were Levantines, hybrid Greek and Armenian merchant. There was not a Turk among them. For hours we rowed about in search of the ship and came upon a dozen repellents of the same horrible scene. The fact was known the next day throughout the city, but the press, effectively muzzled by the Allied control, made no mention of it. At that moment the British Government was interested in stirring up approval for another loan to Greece. The European Powers have been meddling with Turkey for the past hundred years. Their battleships have been anchored in the Golden Horn their diplomats have been weaving webs of intrigue under the very nose of the Turkish throne, and their peoples have been systematically fed with propaganda. And all because Constantinople and the Dardanelles are the key to Eastern Europe and the Near East. Jealousy and fear have been the motives. They have looked longingly at the fertile fields and oil wells of Anatolia. They have watched each other like preying vultures, covering their greed under the cloak of the Christian banner. Colonies of Greeks have settled the seacoast with no intent to remain there as Turkish subjects, but with the idea of becoming powerful and rich enough some day to claim the country for Greece. It is as if France should suddenly lay claim to Quebec and Louisiana, or Spain to Florida. It is easy for us to overlook the fact that Turkey is not a savage country. It is older than we are. It has a rich civilization behind it, a background of attiring history. Turkey is Oriental and is different to progress. They are skeptical of the blessings of our modern complicated system and point to the many spots of our existence. If they do not have railroads and type-writers, neither do they have strikes and insane asylums and social evils. They have maintained their empire for 500 years with fewer changes and less internal strife than any other country in modern times. It is their right to live as they see fit, to worship God through the word of Mohammed rather than through the word of Christ if it is more to their liking. The important thing is that they keep the faith as they see it. It is my belief that they are more devout than we—their mosques are full every day, while our churches are empty save on Sunday. The throngs of worshipers of the great Mosque of Suleiman during the holy month of Ramadan are one of the most inspiring things I have ever seen. Few people know that Christ is worshiped in the Mohammedan church as a minor prophet, as is Moses. They prefer to assign the role of chief prophet to Mohammed because he dictated his book in person. Our ignorance of the Koran leads us to unfounded prejudices against it; a study of it would reveal its greatness and a striking similarity to the Bible in many respects. It lacks the lofty ideality and sublimity of the latter, but the Turks claim that it is beyond possibility to attain the Christian ideal, and that the Koran, by emphasising the same practical virtues without insisting upon the heights of self-sacrifice, is within the reach of those who lead the good life. The Turk—Charming The Turk of the educated class is a charming and delightful person, a consummate master of the social graces which we associate with the status of a gentleman. His home life is quiet and retired and in social intercourse he is noted for his invariable kindness and courtesy. Harems are practically a thing of the past, for the Turkish law requires a substantial property settlement on each wife. The unsettled conditions since the war have impoverished them to such a degree that but very few have the means to support more than one wife, even should they desire such. But it is also true that the educated class is a very small fraction of the Turkish people. There is no middle class devoted to commerce and shop- EASON'S "UNIVERSAL ALLIANCE" FAILS TO THRILL CHICAGOANS No. 3 to 13 West 136th Street, New York City If you are in the city and want a good place to live and work, you should move to the city and want good accommodations in the PHYLADI WHITE LANE.

Their education is slight, their mode of life simple and unostentatious, and their needs are few. As I have brought out before, they have little aptitude for business and the small commerce of the country is in the hands of the Greeks and Armenians. They are frugal, hard-working and honest according to their light. Until Asia Minor was stirred up by the intrigues of the European Powers, it was as peaceable and orderly a country as any in Europe. Unattended women used to make long journeys by caravan into the very heart of Anatolia, and were everywhere received with the most scrupulous hospitality by the wealthiest households in the village, where money was always refused for their lodging and where they always received a cordial invitation to return. The Turkish people of the interior have the guilelessness and simplicity of peasant-folk the world over The years of meddling by the European Powers have exasperated the Turks, at intervals, to the point of ferocity. It was an unequal struggle, for the Turk was baffled by clever diplomacy and unscrutulous bargaining for concessions. He saw his words twisted into unheard of promises, he saw the battleships cleared for action in his harbor and ready to enforce the odicts that issued from the Allied ambasies, and he suffered the helpless rage of one who knows he has been cheated and can see no means of redress. The Christian nations, carefully fed by propaganda, displayed a solid front against him, and, like an animal at bay, he sprang out in his wrath at whatever lay within his reach. The Armenian massacres were inexcusable, but the world does not know that equal excesses were committed on both sides, that one Turk has been victimized for every Greek or Armenian. That fact has been carefully suppressed by those who are interested in showing up the worst side of the Turk. I have seen countless photographs of Turkish men and women beheaded and piled in heaps. I have seen tens of thousands of Turkish refugees driven out of Thrace and Smyrna by the Treaty of Bevres, which gave that territory to Greece, and I have listened to the ghastly story of their eviction. That, too, has been suppressed. The Turk is no more perfect than the rest of us, but like most of us, he is good enough when left alone. That is all he wants. Mustapha Kemal, directing an ill-organized and ill-fed army, has been victorious over the trained troops of Greece that were equipped by the money obtained from Great Britain, and he has driven them from Turkey. The ragged Turkish army fought doggedly and courageously because they were fighting for their own land. Meanwhile the Powers lie in wait raising the old blue and cry. It is the hands of the Allied control that are bright with the blood of the innocent victims of their ambition and avarice. —Dearborn independent. CORNS REMOVED DR. J. P. BAILEY REGISTERED CHIROPODIST More Ignore First Trouble They Injure the Nervus. Phones: Aud. 4183 101 W. 141st St. By J. JACKSON TILFORD CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—J. W. H. Eason, simple citizen, and the ousted American Leader, made a dismal failure in his attempt to stage an anti-Garvey meeting in the city of Chicago on the 28th and 29th of September last. This meeting was held under the auspices of the paper organization called the Universal Negro Alliance, and Chicago was circularized and advertised to the nth degree telling of the big anti-Garve, meeting, to be held at one of the biggest churches in the city. When the meeting was called to order on the night of the 28th in large and spacious auditorium there were just 35 people present, and 81 of the 35 were ardent, loyal members of the U. N. I. A., who could not have been shaken in their opinion with T N T., and who came out for the express purpose of seeing what manner of fool the man was capable of making of himself Six People Present On the second night, after the curious had been satisfied, there were still less present, the count being about six. This was more than Eason could stand, and it was said that he cried like a baby, and on the midnight train he quietly sneaked out of the city. It was a heartbroken and melancholy man who took the train in the still hours of the night and reflected over his inability to get sensible people to hear his misrepresentations of facts leading up to his undoing, and to hear some folly about a new movement under his leadership. Several shots fired in an altercation near the church just after the meeting had adjourned led many to believe that Eason had paid the price of the traitor, but this line of thought later proved erroneous. Eason no doubt will experience many 8 unhappy days, as Paint, Citizen Beacon and an exile from the greatest Negro movement, the world has grew known. The writer would suggest that Negro take his Universal Alliance and tie it up with DuBois, Pickens, Simmons, Randolph, Owen and the Chicago Defender and let the whole bunch give one good pull and see what or not they will find the Universal Negro Improvement Association as irresistible as the Rock of Gibraltar and as indestructible as matter. Eason's Object Fails NEW ORLEANS, LA—Mr. J. W. H. Eason, former American Leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and who is now fighting the organization because of his being expelled by the Third International Convention of Negroes in New York city last August, spoke in the city last Monday night at the Longhornors Hall to an audience of thirty-two people. This is surprising when we consider that when Mr. Eason visited this city some months ago as American Leader he spoke on four different occasions to crowded houses. It was advertised that Mr. Eason came here to overthrow the work of the U. N. L. A. in this city. If this is true he certainly made a complete failure and left the city in no pleasant humor. It will be remembered that the former president of the New Orleans Division tried to deliver the division to Mr. Eason when he, Mr. T. A. Robinson, returned from the Garvey convention last month. But the members delivered him to the police and expelled him from the association. It is very evident that the U. N. L. A. is firmly established in the state of Louisiana, and especially in the city of New Orleans. $750.00 If I Fail to Grow Hair! World's Wonder Hair Grower MIE.

BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN BIG PUBLIC MEETING OF COLORED CITIZENS AT LIBERTY HALL 120 West 138th Street; New York WEDNESDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 11 AT 8:15 O'CLOCK SHARP Proudful Name Signatures Will Address the Assembly EVERYBODY INVITED BIG MUSICAL PROGRAM MOVABLE MARCUS GARVEY in the Chair Will Speak and Standing Among Negroes and the Influence of the Hidden Hand 0 An Artistic and Picturesque Liar I had known him from my earliest boyhood, we met soon after the Appomattox incident, and while the echoes of "Let us have peace" were still reverberating. He had a Scripture name—it was Simon Peter Gadsby—and his "parents" had dedicated him to the "Gospel ministry months before he was born. "He were fum Ferginny and I were fum Maryland," but this made no difference. We were both black. Bedside, when white people of low grade want to call us "nigger," they don't ask where you are from. Well, Simon Peter and me became chuma. We ate together and we fit together, and sometimes we slept together. We were almost inseparable. One day, Simon Peter's mammy (she was a wizard by left, which is to say that Brother Gadsby warnn't having his washing done home, and warn't eating at the family table any more, and had done so for nigh on to a year) took Simon Peter and bundled him off to some town in Connecticut to live with a plious white Christian family who had promised her that, when they sent him back home, he would be in full line for the ministry. The family proceeded to make a gardener out of Simon Peter, as it was summer when he arrived at this Christian home, and they made several other things out of him before he reached the theological branch of his work, which were not in the agreement. Simon Peter digged and dalved till fall, and then the Yanks opened up still another department in which wood sawing was the chief study. Simon Peter bucked like a Mexican mustang and sent an S. O. S. to his mammy, who came up to the village one Saturday noon and took him away after handing the Yankees a piece, a very large piece, of her mind. YOUNG FOLKS BANQUET AT LIBERTY HALL YOUNG FOLKS BANQUET AT LIBERTY HALL On Friday evening, after the regular meeting, a delightful time was had with the children of Liberty Hall. Col. Harrigan, Capt. King, commander of the Juveniles, and Lieut. Stevens were responsible for this pleasant evening. Capt. King served as master of ceremonies and Lieut. Stevens was responsible for the interesting program. The following program was rendered while more than one hundred children and their guests were pleasantly seated around the festive board, well laden with the good things to satisfy the most sanguine appetites: When Simon Peter got back to Washington, he found waiting for him a job in a boarding house, where people boarded and rats lived in colonies. Simon Peter's job here was to get rid of the rats which infested the cellar, and sometimes invaded the kitchen and dining room at meal times. It was these rats who were the cause of the break between Simon Peter and me, and shook my faith in his veracity He told me one afternoon that he had killed, with an iron bar, between thirty-five and forty of the rodents in the cellar, and, as he was leaving there to go to the kitchen, a big fat rat ran up the steps ahead of him into the kitchen, jumped or crawled upon the kitchen table and seized, in both pawa, a carving knife, and made a lunge at him just as he entered the kitchen. This was too much for me to swallow, and though I was fond of Simon Peter, I deemed it best that we separate. I feared contagion. Simon Peter's qualifications for the ministry had reached a point where I thought it would be dangerous for him to enter that field. So we quit as friends and didn't mingle any more thereafter. "The law of all is liberty, which ends where the liberty of another man begins." The flickering candle when its light is about to expire shines brightest when reaching the end, and leaves nothing but its charred and burned wick to remind us that it ever existed. So went out. Babylon, Nineveh and Tyre, Rome and Greece, and now perfidious Albion's candle, after burning for a thousand years, is nearing the end of the wick. Europe is finished, and England is part of Europe. The clock of God is about to strike the hour of its doom. musical treats, we wended our way home, voting our hosts a most delightful group, wishing them continued success and prosperity in their every endeavor and praying that the time will soon come when all of us shall be favored once more in an event of this kind. Noted Brooklyn Couple Celebrates Twenty-56th Anniversary On last Saturday, Oct. 7, Mr. and Mrs. William McGee celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary with a magnificent reception and banquet at 83 Ormond place. The McGees are among Brooke's friends. The fraternal and societal set up the upwardly of fifty guests was representative of Greater New York's many fraternities. The guests were very tautly dressed. The guest who is especially noted for her youthful and vigorous manner, was gowned in and an exquisite creation of periwinkle Roshanara trimmed with beaded net. After the reception the many couples proceeded to the living room, which was a scene to behold. The guests were in the city's best caterer. The dinner, in addition to the regular menu consisting of a variety of the season's choicest vinaids, also contained several beverages that smacked of an anti-prohibition attitude. In profusion were received from all parts of the city. Music was furnished by Belle's Society Orchestra. Mrs. W St. Clair Mottley was mald of honor. Miss M. Sketee was flower girl. Rev. J. P. Otley was chaplean, and Mr. J. P. Otley functioned as master of ceremonies. Among those present were Mr. Alexander, Mr. Jose, Archer, Mr. and Mrs. F. Austin, Mr. Richard Allynne, Mr. S. Bann, Mrs. C.

But shout with one full breath Redemption day draws near H A N'RSE 2271% Isabel St. Winnipeg, Canada BACK-TO-AFRICA MOVEMENT BACK-TO-AFRICA MOVEMENT WHY A WRITER BELIEVES IN IT The Edition of the Daily Glossar Sir. Your editorial of yesterday's date headed "Strong Faith" has not at all helped to remove the impressions which we already have regarding your attention to the "Back to Africa" movement. Now, as every one is aware, when a movement is of no importance editors, as a rule, lay down their pens, but if, on the contrary, a movement is of vast importance, every one that will be affected by such is always busy on the platform, or with the pen and paper. The same applies to the Garvey movement. We all know that if every negro were united in one common cause—say a "Back to Africa" movement—ch harm would be done to the dominating the churches of a country like Jamaica would close their doors, because there would be no support to the preachers of the Gospel. The landed proprietor would be compelled to pay just wages or close down, greatly affecting his financial gain. Is there any reason (considering the above) why you should not take up the pen against us? None at all. Now we hear you saying that you are trying to prevent the Jamaican putting by money from his scanty earnings to support an unfounded movement. I do not see why you should be so interested in so-called well doing as to discourage us contributing to the "redemption of Africa." when you are always willing to advise us to contribute to funds for starving Russians (forgetting the starving Jamaicans) or to contribute £100^00 per annum as war debt to England (even although we were the victors, and not the vanquished). If you are reasonable, then you should see from each corner. We always- thought like yourself that Jamaica belonged to the Negro Jamaican as well as to the white Jamaican, but as the evolution of time goes on, we find that we made a grave mistake. Why? Because we see that instead of coming nearer to racial equality, we are going much farther from it. We find that men from abroad are given preference over us to fill any jobs that yield good salaries. We find Negro Jamaicans being sent away from certain Government departments with the watchword, no vacancies! while gentlemen from abroad are on route to the country to fill existing vacancies. We find that if a Medical Officer is wanted to fill a vacancy at our own hospital, the preference is given to an officer from abroad. We find in the Police Department the Negro is overlooked when a vacancy occurs for a sub inspector, to say nothing of that for an inspector. These and many more form the basis of our reason why we say Jamaica does not belong to the Negro. I deny any man to tell me that Africa does not belong to the American and West Indian Negro, and if we had doubts about our entry into Liberia, the recent message from the King and Queen of Abysinia to us gives us new force to fight on. If the Jamaican does not want to go to Africa-to-day he will go tomorrow, because developments in this country are of such a character as to compel him to go. But believe me, there are many who will go to-day if their financial position will allow them. As I may not return to the subject, I beg to thank you for the helpful criticism you have afforded us. Indeed it has helped us to know ourselves more, to love our cause and our leader, Mr. Garner, more, and above all to think daily how we can best help to bring about the redemption of our once forgotten, but now beloved Africa. Thanking you for space. CHAS, D. JOHNSON. 68. Chua, St., Kingston, Sept. 7, 1922. "GOD'S ONLY HONOR" "Twas a starlight urge of bowen" To cover a native tower. And every minute-hour.

THE NEW BELGIAN CONGO Belgian Government Having Trouble with Colored English Subjects Aug 28 1922 Editor Negro World New York Dear Sir—I am extremely glad to write this letter to you including extracts of a letter from a friend in the 'new Belgian Congo' which will surely interest you. Force, when used to extremes makes the forced become gallous.

A thousand times now to little Belgium. I long for the day when Africa shall awake when we shall all sing lently with hats off the song that is so dear to me. 'Ethiopia thou land of our fathers.

The said Accra fellow was immediately expelled from the country, and then the government at once changed its attitude toward all English-speaking blacks who are working on the Congo by trying to put all foolish laws against civilized and uncivilized blacks, likewise the natives, and count them all like one, something like the criminal code of Nigeria. "Properly speaking, these things will be stopped, as the Agent-General for all the English firms (an Englishman) has written to London to report the unpleasant state of things from which colored British subjects are suffering at the hands of the said government, of which the new English consul is taking part to confirm the above report made by the Agent-General."

V. G. EMONEI CARTER Subject. "The smallest group may still be a beacon." Text. Isa. 20 17—"Till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill." This was said of Jerusalem when almost deserted of its inhabitants. Use of the Beacon Fire A. A fire kindled on the top of a mountain in time of invasion in order to point out to the fighting men in the darkness of night a place of rendezvous. B. A series or line of fires on mountain tops or prominent hills to convey speedily important intelligence, thus, after the captivity, the remnant of the Jewish nation would unmunicate to the axiles in Babylon the time of the rising of the paschal moon by beacon lights, beginning on Mount Olivet and gleaming eastward from mountain to mountain and hill to hill until they were mirrored in the Euphrates. Similar appear to be the signals by which the man who led away the scapegoat flashed back the intelligence to the high priest in Jerusalem that the goat had been conducted to the wilderness. In Arabia on festive occasions beacon fires are kept burning in the night along the roads leading to and from the residence of the giver of the feast Lesson 1 As a church is reduced in numbers, you may be deplied, and yet you are not useless. The top of a towering crag may be of little present interest to the mountain climber—a little space of barren rock showing only a few large stones stained and rent by fire. The coals and ashes were long ago blown or washed away. But let an invasion of the land begin, etc. You are such as you are through grace of the greatest service, as great peril bear witness, you are to. 1. Warn— Against sin within and without Life is a continual struggle. It is very essential that we meet the enemy at every turn of the road and the best should always be forthcoming if we are to win in the struggle 2. Send good tidings We are to send good tidings There are many stations in life that are awaiting a signal from you in order that they might be encouraged. It is your business to flash the intelligence along lines so that some forlorn brother or group of individuals may be encouraged by the successful efforts of your small group. 3. To direct along shadowed and obscure paths— A in this great and busy city there are many shadowed and obscure paths that need your light. Mothers daughters and fathers sons are being carried each day in the awful maelstrom of crime and debauchery. It requires courage and Christian forbearance to be able to forego the social customs of today and to be found in this place of gloe rescuing some forlorn and reckless person. I. I am thinking of a young girl in a beautiful city of the South whose life was wanted and she paid the penalty of her folly by a premature death. Had someone who professed to know Christ taken the time to extend to her a hand of sympathy and love when she needed it most this life could have been apared to usefulness C. But we are not only few but feeble. We have a few that can do anything. Remember a little cripple can light a beacon fire on an Alpines ledge D. But we are timid and full of doubts and migrivings. Consider that you occupy a high and almost inaccessible position. The Almighty is your defense E. Is it not time to light the beacon lights and fires? Is not the enemy coming in like a flood? Ah. friends, surely the cry of the ages should be heard and heeded by the Christians of today F Have you not good news to flash to other beacon stations* Every day is an opportunity to let your light shine. Illustrations The beacon fires must shine, though at times it may be painful. A keeper of a lighthouse in England found it necessary to go across the English Channel one day and he left in the tower two children, a boy of eight and a girl of ten. A great storm arose and it became necessary for the light in the tower to be lighted. The children climbed the winding stairs and came to the light. A chair was taken and the little girl stood on the chair and tried her best to reach the light. She found that she was too short in spite of her tiptoeing. Her brother asked her to get down, brought another chair and then he lay upon the two, commanding his sister to stand on him. In this position she was able to reach the light and light it that it might send its gleams across the dark and stormy Channel. It occurred to her to ask him while she stood on him if she was hurting him. He replied, "Yeah, sister, you are hurting me, but what do I care for the pain as long as the lamp is lighted and its gleams go out over the bay to make it possible for some ship to come into the harbor with safety, and perhaps that ship will bear our father home." So it is in life. When the seas are raging and the floods are incoming and the storm is at its height, your little light must shine in spite of the pain, in spite of the hurts that may come from sources least expected, for after all the test of true charger is the ability to withstand the most stubborn pain and hurt that may be directed to our persons. The beacon fires must burn. Let them ```markdown ``` burn at all times, let your lower lights be burning. Send the gleams across th. way. NEW YORK Y. M. C. A.

SHE GENTLY PASSED Can there be death when life is everywhere? When springs return with birds and flowers and song? When immortality with life we share And for some beatific state forever long? She gently passed from light to brighter glow. To beauty to adorn her own most rare. Can she from some Elysian game below. Behold bereaved, their sorrows feel and share? She is not dead, though such, alas, it seems; A flower in bloom, she passed ere autumn cam. Or knew fulfillment of life's sanguine dreams. Or burst her soul into fruition's flame. She gently passed, bright spirit, from our sight. To some celestial state of Beauty's light. BISHOP L. E. GUINN 633 East Sixth Street, Glendale, Ohio. Author and Publisher of Pure Negro Literature.

Saxon, Stool Pigeon for Dean Pickens, Fraudulently Tries to Hold Meeting in Name of the U. N. I. A. Look Out for the Appearance of the Greatest Negro Monthly Magazine "The Blackman" Edited by Marcus Garvey, Sir William Ferris, Sir John E. Bruce and Others Published by the African Communities' Leauge for the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Interest of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the World ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE MADE LATER GIVING A DEFINITE DATE FOR THE APPEARANCE OF THE FIRST ISSUE PRICE—25 CENTS PER COPY SUBSCRIPTION—$3.00 PER YEAR; ORDER NOW Agents Wanted All Over the World ADDRESS Manager "THE BLACKMAN" 56 West 135th Street NEW YORK CITY, U. S. A. (Special to The Negro World.) CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 9—That the members of the Cincinnati Division of the U N L A are 100 per cent strong for the organization, and are fully prepared to take care of any issue that may arise affecting that body, is evidenced by the following: Samuel T Saxon, Negro "lecturer" from New York, arrived here on the 8th inst. to deliver an anti-Garvey address in the Sterling Hotel Auditorium. On the 8th inst. it was advertised that the meeting would be held on the 8th inst. under the auspices of Mr Ware, the respected local president of the division. Seeing the unauthorised use of his name in connection with the meeting Mr Ware called up the several newspapers that carried the advertisement in their papers, and were told that a Mr. Saxon had put the advertisement in and supplied the information that Mr Ware was to preside at the meeting. The unauthorised use of Mr Ware's name in this connection was done evidently for the purpose of drawing a crowd. But when it became known that Mr Ware knew nothing of the affair, the lie of the members of the U. N. I. A. was aroused. Mr Ware took every possible means of warning members against any improper demonstration and advised them, if they attended the meeting, to give no cause for trouble. At 8:30 on the evening of the day the meeting was fixed for the auditorium of the Sterling Hotel was filed to its capacity. Almost the entire audience were members of the U. N. L. A., and when Mr. Ware and Mr. Garland Winston, executive secretary, arrived they had some difficulty in getting through the crowd. The meeting was already started and Haxon had launched into a denunciatory article by Dean Pickens, of the Friends of Negro Freedom" and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, against Marcus Garvey, when Mr. Ware interrupted the speaker to obtain from him an explanation of how he came to use his (Mr. Ware's) name in connection with the meeting Saxon failed to explain and when he stated that he had come to Cincinnati to "expose the Garvey movement the crowd rose to its feet and made for him. A Mr. Hanock attempted to strike one of the legion officers, and then the row began in earnest. Cheers that had previously interspersed the questions put by Mr. Ware to the lecturer now faded in the air, and chairs which were brandished and then thrown with great dispatch and accuracy took their place. Pandemonium broke loose. Saxon, appreciating that discretion was the better part of valor, dived head first off the platform. Then he turned and twisted on his hands and knees, and in that posture crawled to a back door, where he beat a hasty if somewhat undignified retreat. But he did not get away altogether unaccompanied. A chair stitches" hurled by some one was stopped with his head, and there were other marks of the fray that Saxon will bear for many a day. ST. BERNARD, LA., DIVISION NO. 174 HOLDS MONSTER MASS MEETING --- St. Bernard Parish, La., made a wonderful demonstration at a monster mass meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on Sunday, September 17, at 4 p. m. Three representatives from the New Orleans division were present to address the meeting. The representatives were Mr. E. A. Francis, Mr. R. B. A. Nixon and Mr J. S. White. The little hall was filled to its seating capacity. The meeting was opened at 4:30 p. m. with the opening hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." The prayer of the organization was read by Mr. R. B. A. Nixon. Rev A. William Then welcomed the representatives and the congregation with an eloquent welcome address, after which the front page of the Negro World was read by Mr Nixon and everybody felt joyful to learn that the Negroes at last have had a chance to represent themselves in the conference of the League of Nations. The first speaker was Mr. E. A. Francis, whose subject was. Watchman, What Is the Night?" He made a successful hit on the minds of the people with his subject and caused many hard-believers to see the value of U N I A. The hymn, "Oh, Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" was sung. The next speaker was Mr. R. B. A. Nixon, whose subject was: "The Survival of the Fittest." Mr. Nixon's subject was one that showed plainly the consequences of the Negroes of the world if they did not organize themselves and get ready for the great battle of the survival of the fittest. He then appealed for members and many responded after his wonderful address. The offering was then raised and everybody rallied voluntarily to the cause. The next speaker was Mr. J. S. White, whose subject was: "Peace, Perfect Peace." This gentleman, in his calm and usual manner, outlined clearly the religious part of the organization. The house was in complete silence. The hymn, "Peace, Perfect Peace, in This Dark World of Sin," was sung. The President, Mr John Washington, hen explained his joy and gratitude to the speakers, and said that the meeting would long be remembered in St. Bernard Parish. The meeting was then closed with the hymn, "O God, Our Help in Ages Past." and a prayer by a well known minister of the parish. The crowd then departed, inoculated with the spirit of Garveyism and with the spirit that now exists in the parish through this meeting. We hope to report in the near future that St. Bernard Parish is traveling upward and onward toward a free and redeemed Africa. Yours fraternally. JOHN WASHINGTON. President St. Bernard Div (R. B. A.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., DIVISION CELEBRATES EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION the amaniposition celebration which took place here on September 28 found the U. N. I. A. in line. The colonel of Legiona, president and vice-president, secretaries and all officers found their place in line with their sashes on that represented their office. The sashes were of red, black and green. Then came the Nurses with their white dresses and vela, the officers with their sashes and badges to represent their offices. Then came the remainder of the division; also the Highland chapter with the president and a number of his members who were with us as we marched with glad hearts and bright faces. After that we reached the grounds where we were to see games and spend the rest of the day rejoicing. There was speaking later in the afternoon. The people were rejoicing so much that it was hard to understand the speaker in the open air. But his speech was based upon the black men coming together. He also spoke of our people spanning most of their time in prayer and not doing what they should do for themselves. We had a lovely afternoon on October 1 after Rev. Brown (who seems to have given his whole heart to the work) had opened the meeting. We had short talks from the different members, and songs of praise, which seem to have awakened every soul. We had with us also visitors from the Highland chapter, who gave us splendid talks, which was very much enjoyed by all that sat under their voices. REPORTER. Terre Haute Division No. 52. W. M.

Rich, president of the Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., and Mr. J. E. Maynor, manager of the Pratissworthy Muse Publishing Co. From time to time we are having the leading business and professional men speak to our chapter. Some of these men have already connected themselves with us many others will do so. A few Sundays ago Mr. M. R. Jackson, vice-president of the Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., spoke to us, and today we have the president of that bank. We are gaining ground in Norfolk by leaps and bounds, and in a few more weeks we hope to take the city by storm. The president and all of his officers are doing all that they can make our building fund drive a success. The members are doing their part and everything is moving along smoothly. Today was the beginning of our drive and it was a great success. The president, Mr. George W. Taylor, after explaining the aims and objects of the association, stated that many people who were not in accord with the association had made the objects and aims just what they wanted to and were trying to mislead the public, but he was glad to see that the public was not so easily fooled. In introducing Mr. J. E. Maynor, the president said that he did not know so much about the man that he was introducing, but he was sure that he was a man who could bring things to pass; if not, he could never have been made manager of the Praiseworthy Muse Publishing Co. All the members were glad to know more about Mr. Shaynor since he has just done some printing for the chapter. "I come not to discourage you but to bring you words of encouragement; not to tear you down but to build you up." said Mr. Maynor after addressing the president and members of the association. To these remarks great applause was given to the speaker by the audience. "Your leader in this organization is known throughout the length and breadth of the land. I am sorry that I do not know as much about it as I ought to, not as much as I should." said Mr. Maynor. He had nothing for the organization but praise from the beginning to the end. "I have nothing for this organization but praise, not because you have not made mistakes, for you have, but because you have accomplished something along with your mistaken." said the speaker. For about twenty minutes he held his audience spellbound and left an impression on the officers, members and friends that will be remembered. The next speaker of the occasion was the Hon. Wm. M. Rich. The president of the chapter, in introducing Mr. Rich, said "that he was not so closely connected with the president, as he was with the vice-president, Mr. M. R. Jackson, but that the speaker to whom he was introducing had made marvelous success in business. He was known not only as a banker, but a man who could do things." The president of the chapter stated that every man who had done something had his ups and downs. It was harder for a man to make good ten or fifteen years ago, than it is today. Mr. Rich, after addressing the president, members and officers of the association, said in part: "There are five things necessary for the success of every business organization. The first is co-operation; in every business you must have this. In order to have this necessary asset you must work in harmony. Each officer and member must play his or her part. You must try to understand each other and be always looking out for the good of the organization." Mr. Rich went on to state what a hard time he had in forming the Metropolitan bank. He stated that the bank had to almost give away its stock, that it was very hard to get colored people to become interested in banking, that most of our people thought that banking was all right for white people but it was a business that colored people should stay out of. He stated that even some of the stockholders and directors at that time had little faith in the project. This bank started with one hundred depositors and today it has 18,000. "The second is co-operation. Every business should be properly organized in order to succeed. Have a system and go by it, don't let anything throw you off your track. Look for opposition and criticism and just keep on working. If you are properly organized it will be hard for any outward force to do you any harm." These words, coming from such a person as the Hon. Wm. W. Rich, the most prominent man of the city of Norfolk, gave the members, friends and well wishers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association much encouragement. Coming at a time when some very untrue and misleading statements have appeared in a current issue of the leading Negro paper in the city. "The third is intelligent leadership. You should select the ones among you who are most prepared to lead you. This I consider you have done in the selection of the leader for this chapter. Intelligence is the need of our race. With the proper leadership of the different divisions scattered all over the world, you have nothing to fear. "The fourth is loyalty. Be loyal to your organisation and when you hear someone talking against it, speak up for it, don't be on the fence. If there is anything I do despise it is the fellow who is neither for or against anything. When he is with a crowd that is for the thing he is for it and when he is with a crowd that is against the thing he is against it. Act as men and women and be on one side. "The fifth is love. Last but not least. You should love this organization, enjoy doing something for it, enjoy coming to your meetings. Love and work in love with your officers and members." With these remarks the Hon. Wm. M. Rich closed his address. Everybody was delighted to see such a man come out so firmly for this organization, especially during his address when he said: "The man that gets up on his people and then tries to sneak out of the race is a traitor and ought to be in the depths of Hell." Liberty Hall, 929 Church street, was lighted all Sunday afternoon with wonderful speeches. Mr. J. E. Maynor, the former speaker, contributed one dollar toward our building fund and so did Mr. Rich. Our chair lead by Mr. Baker rendered beautiful selections during the afternoon. The following persons appeared on the program: Paper. Mrs. Rosa Simmons. Mr. R. M. Hollies. Scripture lesson (tsa. 18th Chap.). Mrs. Edith Wewater. Short talk, Mr. Lonnie Williams, second vice-president. Selection by our quartet. A beautiful recitation by Miss Brown. Sunday, October 1, 1923, will long be remembered by the members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. REPORTER, Norfolk, Va. FAIR AND EXPOSITION NOTES A house divided Against itself falls. Have you talked with Harlemites lately? Why all this sudden desire for co-operation and boom business in Harlem? Is it possible that the U. N. I. A. has really and truly done something to wake up the Negro to the fact that money can be spent for better business, better homes, better churches? That is the gospel of practical religion. Think that over, soffers and skeptics. Do you want to know something about the Annual Fair and the First Educational and Commercial Exposition of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to be held in Liberty Hall from November first to fifteen, inclusive? Let me tell you how it happened. On October 3 the committee met and decided to hold this Fair and Exposition. The next day 10,000 letters were being run off ready to be mailed to business men throughout the country. Two days later, on October 3, the Negro Times and the Negro World made public announcements, and today you have but to read this paper and you know what we know. Since the fifth of October we have had offers of service from 188 members, and are indebted to several business men of Harlem for educational and commercial assistance. Among those who have shown a desire to aid the Exposition are the Chelsea Exchange Bank, corner of 188th street and Seventh avenue, who have donated a booth where the relative value of the dollar will be shown as compared with other monies of the world; the Kalmus Furniture Co. of 119 West 188th street, who will furnish our Home Beautiful; Young's Book Exchange, 138 West 188th street, whose collection of rare books is well known throughout the country (Mr. Young has offered to exhibit his collection to our members and visitors); the Universal Grocery Stores, which will have a complete display of groceries; the People's Harlem's Great E LIBERTY 120 to 148 Week Open Every Night for the People of the City Speeches Are Delivered PROMINENT BIG VARIETY MU Full Force of Black Star Accommodation for DOORS From 7:30 to SPECIAL on Monday, Wednesday Hon.

The only POSITIVE RAIN GROUER and BARRIER FUFF RAIN GROUER BLOVER'S KEE MANGE MEDICINE Sold for $20 TWO YEARS (one application by n. CLAY BLOVER CO., ED. W. J. BLD. N. Y. C. POINTED PARAGRAPHS FROM 'THE WORLD AS IT IS,' BY MARCUS GARVEY, IN THE DAILY NEGRO TIMES Another Negro was lynched two days ago. At the same time scores of others were beaten on the head and dragged from street cars in a race clash at Montgomery, Alabama. Here is another opportunity for the National Association for the Advancement of (Certain) Colored People to collect funds for stopping lynching. They have been doing so for thirteen years, and lynching is on the increase. Somebody says, however, that they have staked everything on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill if this goes through, than the public will get satisfaction for their money. "We can without any hesitancy collect some more on this new outbreak in Alabama," they say, and out go the curtains in the next mail. The caption will be "Lynching Must Go," as a substitute for "Garvey Must Go." This is a catchy headliner. David Lloyd George knows how to play a winning game; therefore there will be no war between Turkey and Britain. First of all, George tried to bluff his way out by threatening the Turk. Suddenly it was announced that if England went to war with Turkey the world of Islam would rise in rebellion against the British Empire. George thought the matter over and saw that there was more than talk in the threatened upheaval, for while the Turks had whipped the Greeks and sent them home, the Moslems of India and other places were celebrating the victory by popular thanksgiving at their mosque. Reginald McKenna, ex-British Chancellor of the Exchequer and banker, stated before the Banker Association a couple of days ago that Britain will pay her war debt in full. The whole house cheered when he made the statement, but those who indulged in the cheering failed to realize that McKenna, being a statesman and banker, had in his mind certain plans that were not common to all of them. McKenna knows well the method used by Britain in replanting her coffers whenever they become exhausted. Those who have studied the career of the "great nation" are satisfied that Britain will not pay herself, but that the poor Hottentota, Nigeria, Zulus and Kaffra, as well as the subject millions of India, will be the ones to contribute to the liquidation of Britain's war debt. If you don't know, gentlemen. that this is so I refer to the dog taxi inflicted upon the Hottentots, which caused the murping just a few months ago, and which resided in several kind Neakrad Mantjahmen-bombing the natives from on high and sending many of them to sleep as a lesson to the others that they must pay or die. On such a policy, and that alone, will Britain pay her war debt. Report says that fourteen women are now cooking seats in Congress, and it is most likely that they will find themselves there immediately after the forthcoming election. A large number of people think that women are more considerate than men; that they will make better laws and give better protection to society. If this be so, then we would suggest to the National Association for the Advancement of (Certain) Colored People that they nominate as candidates for the Senate and the House of Representatives women rather than men, in that with all the great voting power of the association the "great leaders" were unable to influence the gentlemen of the last Congress to the extent of having them pass the Dyers Anti-Lynchship Bill, and especially after the association had made so much noise in efforts to secure its passage. Even before the bill was probably introduced the association was taking credit for its authorship. Now that nobody expects the bill to pass, Messrs. Johnson, DuBois & Co. are not "smouth" about its sponsorship as they were. It is really felt that a Congress of women would be more considerate in backtracking to the request of those, excellent leaders. Somebody omits Mary White Owington as a leading candidate for the Senate. Why not send her there? She would put the bill through. issued a statement showing that there have been fifty-one lynchings for the present year, which is a total in excess of the number committed in the same period in 1921. This is startling news in the face of what the association has said and professed during the last thirteen years. Why, they told us that they were going to stop lynching, that "lynching must go." For the last thirteen years they have been collecting public subscriptions toward this end, and now, in 1923, they tell us lynching is on the increase. Somebody suggests that this cannot be regarded as "receiving money under false pretenses." No, who could ever think of that! Whatsoever Dr. DuBois says must go. We wonder how many more will be lynched in 1923? We pray for the success of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. But will this stop lynching? Somebody says that certain Negro organizations do not want lynching stopped because, if it in there will be no excuse for collecting donations. What is wanted now in, "Garvey must go," not lynching! It is pleasing to observe that there are not as many unemployed members of our race today, as was the case several months ago. A large number of our people have returned to work, but how many are storing away for the rainy day? During the war, we made a lot of money, but we spent it foolishly. Now we are not making much, nevertheless we earn enough to say a little as a guarantee against the return of hard times. To be thrifty is not a crime, to be wasteful is sure to lead us into a condition of distress. Let us avoid this. It is sad to observe how不fortunate the colored man is in business. He opens a store today, caters to the public for a week or a month, and then goes out of business. He says that luck is against him. It is not so, he is against himself. First of all, he does not study how to please the public, he maintains a wrong notion of business, believing that he can become rich overnight. He generally charges more than the other man does, and is always abrupt in his attention. He also believes that the place should take care of itself, when, in fact, all business man know that to please the public and catch its eyes, you and your business must be attractive. Let us learn all these details about business, then we are sure to succeed afterward. But there is another complaint about the colored man in business. I mean large business, where more than one happens to be employed. If two or more colored man are employed in any enterprise working for their own race, it is the hardest thing to get good service and proper order. None will respect the other. If the head of the concern gets a salary of $50 a week, the office boy or the junior clerk wants the same. If he does not get it, he will stall it if you put it in his way. You cannot trust him anyhow, because he is determined to live as high as the other fellow, even though he receives a salary of the office boy or junior. This has been the trouble with so many of our large Negro enterprises, why they have had to go out of business, because nobody given service, but everybody takes for himself, and the Lord takes care of the business. The Lord not being a business man, and not interested in dollars and cents, fails to give the protection that would be expected, hence, out of business we go! THE HOUR OF NEGRO OPPORTUNITY By R. T. BROWN Squirree, Costa Rica We have been told that "There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune." And the Negro peoples of the world believe that saying and feel and know that, in as far as the truth of that statement is concerned, they are no exception to the rule. The last five years or so have witnessed a remarkable change in the attitude of the darker peoples of the world. People who seemed to have been content to have remained as serfs and hirelings suddenly got their nerve and began to assert their right to the guidance of their own affairs politically as well as otherwise. They told the world that they knew that they, too, were the handiwork of the creation of the God of the Universe and that henceforth they were going to live their lives in the way God and Nature attested for them. Their continual declarations and the process of organization which has been started among these dark skinned people have attracted the attention of the men of all the world, and ever and since the crysps, tortis, "Watchman, what of the Miro?" THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1822 IMPORTANT NOTICE To All Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association All Divisions and Divisional Officers are hereby warned against paying moneys to Executive Officers, Officials or Representatives from the Parent Body on the Field. No Executive Officer, Official or Representative is supposed to receive any money from any Division for dues, taxes or assessments on the field. All such moneys should be sent by mail to Headquarters. Any local Officer or Division who loans an Executive Officer, Official or Representative money on the field does so at their own risk. Refuse to entertain any Officer, Official or Representative who attempts to borrow money from your Division. successful carrying out of the plane of the Negro peoples as at the present time. Europe has troubles enough of her own at home. At the present time she is face to face with one of the biggest war sources in her history. Europe, for the first time in her history, also is halting on the brink, afraid to enter and yet ashamed to stay out. But whichever way it is settled Europe loses. Racked with jealousy and confusion within, strained physically as well as financially by the last great war, she also faces a not too friendly sentiment in the ranks of the other peoples of the world out of her borders. She is utterly incapable of rearranging her own affairs at this time without Help from the outside, hence it is clearly evident that Europe is no longer in any condition to long continue her land grabbing game of a few decades ago. Europes confusion is the Negro gain. Here, then, is THE HOUR OF NEGRO OPPORTUNITY. Now, therefore, is the time more than ever when the Negroes of the world must link their forces together and work for the freedom and complete emancipation of the race in every part of the world and the redemption of the fatherland, the land men call "Africa," that land which is destined to be in the days to come the center of culture and refinement and a teacher of the Golden Rule as exemplified in the life of the Carpenter of Nazareth, of Galilee. And this hour, this time, is not the hour of Negro opportunity in the field of government alone, but an hour of opportunity for the Negro in every other field of human endeavor. And would to God that my kinsmen the world over heed the signs of the times, listen to the call of the hour and prepare themselves for the great adventure for the solving of the problems which are sure to come up for our solution in the days which are ahead of us, for we shall have to bring forth into expression the best that there is in us, to meet the various situations which shall confront us in the days to come; and more than all, this race of Negroes, of which I am pleased and proud to form a part, must, under God, never, never, never, fall! Once having started out on the highway of achievement there is to be no halting, no wavering, no looking back, for once we have started out the bugles of the Negro peoples of the world shall never call "retreat." There are today held out to the Negro peoples everywhere opportunities which the men of all the world denied to them before; but the hour has come when in the fulfilment of God's own divine decree princes shall come up out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. This prophecy transposed into common parlance of the present day tells us that "The Negro must be free and Africa must be redeemed." Yes, Africa must, will and shall be redeemed from the hands of alien robbers and greedy invaders, who have exploited her resources and yet have denied to her sons the right to eke out even a decent existence from the bounty of their fatherland. And these so-called Christian nations have gone to Africa, which today lies bleeding and distressed, made her a slavepen and a battlefield of ages, robbed her of her treasures, ravished her daughters and slain her sons; and, God forbid it, what have they given her in return? Thousands of shiploads of rum and a pillaging sword. But in this twentieth century her sons are awake as they hat, never been awake before, and they have sworn before God and high heaven that "this must cease," and cease it will. It is a man-sized task we are tackling, but we Negroes, through centuries of oppression, have developed and are developing man-sized souls. We realize that we shall have to purge ourselves as no race has ever been purged before if we are to be successful in adapting ourselves to all the advantages of this hour of Negro opportunity. We are prepared for the task ahead. We shall keep preparing, and we are marching forth with unwavening faith and unswerving devotion to the cause, for "victory is sure". And the spirit of freedom and the desire for the expression of the powers of the body, mind and soul which this Universal Negro Improvement Association has given birth shall never die, but shall keep on animating the Negro peoples of the world until they have reached their place in the sun and have assimilated to themselves every advantage held out to them. THINKS WEST INDIES HAS ASSET IN NEGRO Archbishop Hutson Discusses Race Problem. Education Not Extensive and Morality Is Serious Difficulty in Islands The Negro problem of the British West Indies is far less difficult than that of the United States, in the opinion of bishops of the Anglican Church of the Province of the West Indies, which is holding its triennial synod at the Church Missions House, 231 Fourth avenue. The Right Rev. Edward Hutson, of Antigua, archbishop of the province, is presiding at the synod. "Most of the work of the church in the West Indies is among the blacks," said Archbishop Hutson today. "But somehow the Negro problem in the West Indies is not so difficult as in the United States. Our Negroes seem to be more amenable and there is less feeling between the white and the black races. "There is virtually no social intercourse between the two races, but we all worship together and go to the altar together. Negroes and whites are absolutely equal before the courts, as they are before the church. Of course, we haven't the political problems that you have in the United States, because practically all the provinces are governed as crown provinces. But we do not have race riots and lynchings would not be tolerated. "The blacks in the British provinces are not so well educated among the rank and file as in this country." Archibishop Hutson said. "They go to school, where they are taught to read and write, and lead an agricultural life, live in houses where conditions are very primitive and where they do not have anything to read, so that the most of them soon forget it. Morality Most Serious Problem "However, we have had some very highly educated and distinguished Negroes," this Archbishop added. "Sir Conrad Reeves, for many years the Chief Justice of Barbados, was of black ancestry on both sides. He was Chief Justice for many years and was respected and admired throughout the province. I believe that there surely must be a future for the black race. "Our chief difficulty with the Negroes is the problem of morality. The economic conditions make it very difficult for the Negro, and he is, after all, only eighty years from slavery. One thing that the bishops at the synod would like to make clear is that the Church of the Province of the West Indies is an independent organization, not connected with the English Church any more than is the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, except that its priests happen, many of them, to have been born in England. "We are an entirely separate Church." said Archbishop Hutson. "connected only by a certain deference and honor to the See of Canterbury." Strangely enough, the most central point of meeting for this far-flung ardhocleese is New York, and that is why the bishops are meeting in this city. One of Largest Dioceses The Right Rev. Edward Arthur Dunn, Bishop of Honduras, who presides over one of the most diverse dioceses of the province, is on his way to England, where he is going to tell of some of the work done in the six republics of Central America, which are included under his leadership. The diocese stretches from Mexico to the Panama Canal Zone, with a sea coast of some 1,600 miles on the Caribbean Sea and an equal coast line on the Pacific. To assist him, Bishop Dunn has an assistant bishop, seventeen priests, two deacons, four women missionaries on the full time staff, with forty-five catechists, lay readers and teachers who give part of their time. "Men and women of great ability GARRETT P. SERVISS ON ORIGIN OF HUMAN VARIETIES Dense Pigmentation of Skin to Protect Against Sun's Rays Cause of Dark Complexion By GARRETT P. SERVIESS Eminent Astronomer and Authority on Subjects of Scientific Interest The ever-fascinating and still unsolved problem of the origin of the varieties of the human species is interestingly stated again in a letter from Louis P. Sibbana, of Roxbury, Mass. More may hang upon the decision of this question than they who read as they run imagines. Among other things, its solution would, by revealing hereditary tendencies and their causes, teach us a great deal about the essentials for the improvement of mankind. Mr. Sibbena asks: "May not the cradle of mankind have been in the northern regions, because as soon ago, when the sun had more heat than now for the earth, the southern parts were and of unbounded enthusiasm and devotion," said Bishop Dunn, "but insufficient in number for so great a work." Many of the priests travel from place to place, covering enormous territory, he explained, but there is need for many more workers, and the Pacific Coast is practically untouched by the ministrations of the Church. The Negroes vary in each province. Bishop Dunn said, but on the whole the race problem is less difficult than in the United States. "I think they feel that we have been just to them, he added, "but, of course, our problem has not had so difficult a history as youna in the United States." Perhaps one of the busiest of the bishops is Bishop Berkeley of Barbados, who is at present ill at St. Luke's Hospital. Barbados is still governed under the original constitution of 1625, by which each town is governed by a vestry, of which the rector of the Anglican Church is the chairman. The vestry fixes the tax rates and makes local laws, so that the bishop of that province has all sorts of civilian as well as ecclesiastical duties. The meetings of the synod will close on Friday afternoon. Patronize Your Own Industries! Fellow Members of the Negro Race: Why not support your own industries and help to find employment for your Race? Every penny or every dollar you spend with the Universal Negro Improvement Association helps to strengthen the financial standing of the Race. The more you patronize your own enterprises the more will we be able to employ more members of our Race. Already we employ about five thousand Negroes all over America and about four thousand abroad. In New York alone, we employ over two hundred. If you expect the race to grow financially; if you expect the race to become economically independent; if you expect the race to be respected, generally; if you expect us to run more factories and operate more enterprises; if you expect us to employ more Negroes; then you must support the enterprises we have already started.

Also, is it not probable that the color of man's skin was originally black, and was gradually changed into light or white by the effects of climate? In explanation he goes on to say "My point of view is that the northern regions, although a sealed book for the first ancient historians, were the natural cradle of humanity and that the pigmentation was altered by climatic variations, for nature permitting always the strongest to survive, at the same time protects all creatures, and sometimes by color changes. Cannot Prevent Change "I myself have witnessed how Siberian white hares. 500 in number, were taken about twenty years ago to the Baltic provinces. In about three years they lost their white hairs in the new forests and became like the native hares. Although man has enormous powers of resistance, nevertheless, he, as well as the polar bear, has been obliged to change color. "His skull has become thinner since nature did not need to protect his top story from sunstroke, while the Negro retains his thicker head-bones as a helmet against the sun a shafta."

The outlook for most crops is still very good, although the season during the past two weeks has been unfavorable in some sections, being too dry in parts of the valley and central districts and too wet in the eastern and southeastern districts, according to the Virginia crop reporting service. Farm work has advanced satisfactorily, summer plowing has been nearly completed, wheat threshing is about concluded, and a large crop of hay has been harvested. The corn crop promises an excellent yield, except in a few eastern counties. Farmers are busy filling silos and report an unusually heavy crop of silage corn. Tobacco has matured unusually early, and a large part of the Bright crop has been harvested. There has been considerable damage done to the crop from hail storms, and there is some complaint of injury from "wild fire," so prospects are not quite as promising as on August 15, but the crop is still one of the finest ever grown, and the final production will be above the average of recent years. Fruit crops are maturing rapidly, and while the production for the State is considerably below the average for the past ten years, some sections have excellent crops.

NEW YORK CITY SOME FACTS OF THE NEGRO THAT NEGROES MUST KNOW A Few of the Things He Has Done in This Country Which Tell Their Own Tale—Progress on All Lines The first blood for the American Independence was shed by a Negro, Crispus Attucks, at Boston. The first vessel to make the return voyage across the Pacific from the West Indies to Mexico was steered by a Negro pilot in 1565. There are nearly a hundred towns and settlements in the United States populated and governed entirely or almost entirely by Negroes. John E. Matzolinger, a Negro, is the inventor of the first machine that performed automatically all the operations involved in attaching soils to shoes. Many free Negroes held slaves during slavery—more than 18 000 were owned by Negroes. Negroes own 15 000,000 acres of land, an area equal to that of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Negroes bought more Liberty Bonds in proportion to our wealth than any other element of American citizenship. Negro soldiers were the first American soldiers to receive the Croix de Guarre. The first champion in American pugilism was a Negro slave, Tom Molineaux, of Richmond, Va., who, in the first part of the eighteenth century, won his freedom by winning a $100,000 stake for his master. There are 203 Negroes engaged in stock raising There are 206 Negro jewelers in the United States. There are over 206 Negroes in the dairying and farming business. There are 219 Negro saw and planting mill proprietors in the United States. And there are 241 Negro wholesale merchants and dealers. That there are 280 Negro fancy goods, dry goods and motion stores run by Negroes. That there are 310 Negro manufacturers and proprietors of clothing factories. In the United States we have 316 fruit growers. Did you know that the Negro race has been honored by having many members in Congress-two Senators and 21 Representatives? Seven hundred and fifty-six Negroes selling produce and provisions 763 Negroes engaged in real estate business?

UNIVERSAL AFRICAN BLACK CROSS NURSES' CHILD WELFARE DEPT BY CLARA MORGAN, R. N. Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column. Address Child Welfare Department, Negro World, 86 West 125th street, New York, N Y COLIC is commonly caused by unsuitable food and may also be due to too rapid or too frequent feeding. If the food be given in too great quantity for the digestive organs to take care of or if the food is unsuitable and therefore cannot be digested, fermentation takes place and gas is formed, producing the pain which we call colic. The best remedy for colls is heat. Warm water to drink and a hot water bag applied to the abdomen are usually effective. Gentle rubbing of the abdomen may also help and an enema sometimes affords immediate relief. In some stubborn obese a hot bath may be given with good results. Colic medicines and soothing syrups should never be given unless ordered by the physician, as they nearly always contain opium and are very dangerous. If a baby has persistent colic and the bowel movements are not normal the physician should be consulted or the baby taken to a milk station, as it is likely that a change of food is necessary HOW A NATIVE AFRI- CAN REGARDS NEGRO CRITICS AND CYNICS HOW A NATIVE AFRI- CAN REGARDS NEGRO CRITICS AND CYNICS Editor, The Negro World: Sir.—Please permit me space in your valuable paper to express my opinion of what I think of some of the so-called educated Negroes of this country. For over a month, I have been reading the different colored papers, and I find that they are dealing on the same thing, fighting one person. If I am to understand that Negro papers of this country are for the benefit of the colored race, I think it would be more advisable for Negro editors of this country to write something that will benefit the race rather than for them to waste their time and energy fighting a man who cannot do any harm. As a native Africa, it makes me feel prouder to be an African than to be one of these so-called professors of this Western World. When I was in Africa I thought the Western Negroes were more intelligent than I have found them to be; but since I have come to this country I find that they are hundreds of years behind the times, compared with the African Negro in race consciousness and racial pride. Conditions among Negroes nowadays ought to make every well-thinking Negro do something for the benefit of his race, instead of knocking those who are working for the uplift of their race. For over a month I have visited meetings held by an organization, by the name of "The Friend of Negro Freedom," and some members of the N. A. A. C. P. who attended these meetings claim that it is for the advancement of Negroes in this Western World. If these organizations are what they claim to be, they would have more sympathy for their race than they have at the present time. For weeks they have been holding meetings against one man, and forget what their organization stands for. They are supposed to be fighting lynching *d* - *d* jim-crowism in the South, but they have forgotten everything about it. One cannot stop lynching by fighting someone else, who has no intention of doing evil to his race. The money and time they have wasted about Mr. Garvey they could have put in arranging and trying to find some way to check lynching and to abolish jim-crowism. Educated men do not know that every time they say something against the wicked white people of the South their brothers will suffer for it. In fact these men who live in the North do not care what happens to the Negro in the South. If they have any good intentions for their race as a people they would cease using these broad expressions against a race of people who has the power in its hand to cause their defeat. Some of these men who talk about wild Africans and uncivilized natives of Africa, I would like to say to these men that the wildest Africans in Africa, as they call them, have more sense than some of these leading men and gas-lag orators of our race here in America. They are doing their race more harm than good by advising the unawakened Negro to keep on sleeping. Although I am a native African, I am proud to say that most of us are fully awakened, and are trying to do something for our race—for as long as the U. N. I. A. is in existence we will always help such a worthy cause. If these professors of this Western World are as interested in their race as they claim to be, they would ave got together when Boddy was electrocuted, they would have got together and shown more interest in his case, and if he was innocent, as the press claims, they would have helped in his defense.

OCTOBER 14. 1922 CONTEMPORARY COMMENT BY FREDERICK HOUK LAW P. T. BARNUM, THE STOREKEEPER'S SON, THE GREAT SHOWMAN Every boy and girl who goes to see the great circus that is still associated with the name of Barnum has at heart at least some respect for the man who established that amazing entertainment. Many of the older people remember the curly-haired, fat, happy-faced figure of the great showman, the man who said openly that the American people like to be humbugged, and who set about to humbug them to their heart's content, and to delight them as well. P. T. Barnum himself was once only a small boy, and a poor boy at that, finding most of his entertainment in his father's little country hotel and store in Connecticut. Barnum's "Autobiography" is a frank story of his life, but it is a happy story. It tells how the storekeeper's boy rose little by little until he became a national figure. Anyone who will read the book will enjoy it beyond measure. Like so many other men who gained success, Barnum began with a series of failures. For him, as for others who became great, failure was only a whip that drove him on to try again, and to try harder than before. He first tried to imitate his father and to become a storekeeper, but he failed dismally and lost money instead of making it. Then he tried managing a newspaper, but he was unfortunate enough to make enemies who were so powerful that they put him in jail. He gave up the newspaper business and went to New York. There he exhibited a Negro woman said to be about one hundred and sixty years old, and to have been George Washington's nurse. That one exhibit of the wrinkled old Negress, who was really only about seventy, was the beginning of the great circus. He enlarged his show, traveled about the United States, awoke great popular interest in a wonderful dwarf called "General Tom Thumb," and gained immense sympathy by bringing the beautiful Scandinavian singer, Jonny Lind, to America. In spite of all his genius he failed once more in business, but only to rise again stronger than ever. Old people still tell of Barnum's wonderful museum in New York City, and everyone is familiar with Barnum's Cirus. "The Greatest Show on Earth." Of all American showmen he brought most joy to the hearts of boys and girls, and of older people as well. He followed the good old rule of "Laugh and grow fat," and he lived until the ripe age of $11—Exchange. FAIR PLAY FOR THE NEGRO --- The report on the Committee on Racial Relations appointed by Governor Lowden of Illinois soon after the Chicago race riot in July of 1918 has just been made public. It is of national value, and not merely of local application in its findings. It discusses in a thorough way what it calls "our most grave and perplexing domestic problem," the relation of whites and Negroes. The commission, under the chairmanship of Edgar A. Bancroft, consisted of six white members, among whom were Victor Lawson, Julius Rosenwald, Professor Francis W. Shepardson of the University of Chicago and six Negroes. The volume (published by the University of Chicago press) which embodies the results of their study of the problem presents not only a new and comprehensive view of the racial situation in America but also specific suggestions as to what the local governments, the principals and teachers in the schools, the social agencies, the labor unions, the employers of labor, the street car companies and, finally though not least of all, the press ought to do. The problem cannot be dismissed. The deportation of Negroes, the establishment of a Negro State, complete segregation—such proposals or hopes are vain. The solution must be "in harmony with the fundamental law of the nation and with its free institutions." The story of the particular Kardos, Bankrupt Broker, I Writing Book Telling "Inside Workings" Louis M. Kardos Jr. of the defunct brokerage house of Kardos & Burke, of which John Burke, former Treasurer of the United States, was a partner, announced yesterday a novel method of paying off creditors of the firm. His plan is to expose Wall Street and its methods in a book which he is writing and with the royalties resulting from its sale to clear the accounts against him. He asserts that his revelations will be so starling and the resultant sale of the volume so immense that he will be able to liquidate with "handsome voluntary dividends." John Burke, whose signature on United States currency is familiar to millions, and who resigned his office to enter business with Kardos, is practising law in North Dakota. He is a former Governor of that State. The announcement of Kardos or his proposed attack on Wall Street was made yesterday during his examination before Referee Peter B. Olney. He was being examined by David Kahn, of 120 Broadway, representing the creditors. He said. "I have no specific plans for the future as yet except being busily engaged in writing a book in which I shall endeavor to show the public the real reasons behind the wholesale failures in the Street during the silent panic. I shall do this by giving them an inside view into the workings of Wall Street "There are a whole lot of things in this world that I don't know, but the workings of Wall Street is not among them "I feel the public is entitled to know the facts, just as they exist, without frills or fancies. This may not suit certain interests, of course, but it will throw a light upon certain existing conditions that should give our legislature food for thought." Kardos insisted that his sudden trip to Europe last April following the failure of the company was due to a cablegram announcing the death of his mother abroad, and that he had no intention of avoiding the juridiction of the court Mr. Kardos returned recently on the Aquitania. He said that he and Burke had invested $100,000 in the company last January and that the failure of the concern was not due to 'bucketing orders', but to bad judgment on the part of the manager of the foreign exchange department. He said Burke was practically penniless. The firm failed on February 22 with liabilities of $1,500,000 and assets of $150,000. episode which led to the appointment of this commission, with the pictures which illustrate that story is one that must bring shame to every American reader. But if it deepens the sense of obligation to assist in better conditions, public confession will be good for our love soul. The recommendations of the report all have their basis in the conviction that such lapses as have been apparent among Negroes are due to racial imaturities rather than to distinct racial traits. If the public is brought to share this conviction with the commission, we shall have gone a long way toward doing the right thing by the twelve million Negroes in America - New York Times.

BAYER SCHOOLS NEW ORLEANS WITH DRAMATIC ELOQUENCE While the New Orleans Division of the Universal Magistrate Association was a little praised by wild rumors from those discriminating members that belong to the rule or rule class of members, more discriminatory than beneficial to the progress of the race, there arrived on the scene W. O. Smyer, September 23, and once entered upon the task of reverencing the spirit of our following. Having been appointed by the Hon. Marous Garvey as Commissioner for the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, he was billed to speak Sunday afternoon at 8 p. m. and Sunday night at 8 p. m., and Monday at 8 p. m. Though the crowd was small Sunday afternoon, the eloquent address of the speaker spread like wild fire and at the night session a large crowd gath red. The comfortable thunderbolt hurled by its unusual platform crater and the ht. on fire and increased each of the two successive meetings, until on Sunday night, October 1, the house was fammed and packed from door to rostrum, the side aides were filled with people standing who could get seats, and even the gallery in the rear was filled, while others were turned away at the door because the room was available. The New Orleans Division is overflowing with enthusiasm and fire once more in consequence of this gifted operator's presence. The Division has hoisted its sails for the hawk of history. We are proud to say that we can see nothing in the future for the New Orleans Division but success. Special mention must be made of Mr. Charles Wright, who is doing much for the building fund. Under his direction Mrs. Charles Wright raised $115.70 and Mrs. M. Bailley $129.48. We are very grateful; especially to the two persons mentioned, for the great help they are rendering. Many other members have donated to this fund, but space will not permit us to make mention of their names. With the co-operation that we anticipate we hope that by the first of next year to be in our Liberty Hall, WM. PHILIPS, Executive Story. New Orleans, La., Oct. 8, 1813. IF U. DONT C COUNSEL DR. KAPLAN THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 10 of themselves mean NOTHING Crystalized into action they mean EVERYTHING SAY nothing but COME TO OUR AND FIRST EDUCATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL EXPOSITION THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1922 Designación del Presidente Provisional de la República Dominicana La información recibida anunciando que se habla llegado a un acuerdo por el comitido representante de varios partidos dominicanos, nombrando a Juan Bautista Viciñi Burgos para presidente provisional de la República Dominicana, se considera como un marcado progreso hacia el final establecimiento del gobierno constitucional en Santo Domingo y la retira de la fuerzas de ocupación norteamericana. Los Descontentos y Enemigos de Nuestra Organización Dirigen Sus Ataques en Contra de Nuestro Prepotente Movimiento—La Asociación Universal Para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, Con su Programa, Ha Sorprendido al Mundo Entero—Nuestra Delegación en la Ligú de Naciones Los funcionarios del departamento han expresado satisfacción en el progreso hecho en los auntos dominicanos desde el nombreamiento reciente, por el presidente Harding, de Summer Welles, exjefe de la sección latinoamericana en el departamento de estado el cual fue a Santo Domingo en Julio como comisionado con rango de enviado extraordinario con el objeto de investigar e informar al departamento de estado sobre las condiciones políticas y obtener la opinión del pueblo dominicano con respecto a un acuerdo apropiado con el gobierno de los Estados Unidos y como resultado del cual las fuerzas militares de este país se retiraran. El mundo que habitamos se encuentra de nuevo en alto grado de excitación; escuchamos a lo lejos el ruido de guerra, de revolución y de intranquilidad social. La humanidad esta universalmente perturbada por el sinnúmero de injusticias cometidas sobre las masas por los poderes dominantes. Las clases privilegiadas por centenares de años se han usurpado los derechos de las masas; tal parece al presente que dicha usurpación se hace ya intolerable. Estos millones de seres estan ahora en rebelión; se levantan en todas partes; en Inglaterra, en Francia, en Alemania, en America, en Africa. Aquellos que aun no se.han declarado, amenazan con revolución sangrienta, como protesta en contra del sistema industrial y político del presente. El acuerdo sobre el presidente provisional se conceptua un paso importante aunque falta mucho por hacer antes de que el gobierno constitucional se haya establecido completamente en la república dominicana. Considérase aqui que se ha removido una de las principales dificultades para el arreglo final de la cuestión con la elección del presidente provisional. Se lanzará una proclama dentro de pocos días anunciando este nombramiento. No era posible calcular por la información disponible, cuanto tiempo se requirirá, después de establecido el gobierno provisional, para que se elija el congreso, mediante las elecciones generales, cuerpo que ha de aprobar el convenio celebrado con los Estados Unidos y entonces celebrar las elecciones de conformidad con la constitución para la elección de los miembros del poder ejecutivo y se encargue de la presidencia de la república el elector. En esta gran protesta por un reajuste universal en el curso de los acontecimientos humanos, cuatrocientos millones de Negros se adhieren aella por mejor consideración y justicia. Entre el gran número de agencias que agitan esta cuestion por mejoramiento, se encuentra la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, con sus centenares de Divisiones en los cinco continentes. La labor de nucstra organización ha despertado un sentimiento tal que las otras razas y naciones del mundo han llegado a la realización de que el Negro ha de ser considerado como uno de los factores en el drama del reajuste universal. Esta organización ha enviado sus representantes a la Liga de Naciones, quienes ocupan sus puestos en aquella augusta asamblea. La delegación a tenido el privilegio de conferenciar con los primeros estadistas del mundo, presentando ante ellos las necesidades de una raza que goza de muy poca o ninguna felicidad. Crèse, sin embargo, por el progreso ya hecho, que se seguridad adelante sin diltartias indebidas. No se ha hecho saber todavía si Mr. Welles permanecerá en Santo Domingo hasta que se establezca definitivamente el gobierno constitucional, cuando todo estará lista para la retirada de las fuerzas militares de los Estados Unidos, o si regresará a los Estados Unidos después de la instalación del gobierno provisional. Desde la caida de la gloriosa Etiopia, nuestra raza no habia sido reconocida como lo ha sido actualmente por medio de nuestra delegación a la tercera asamblea de la Liga de Naciones en Geneva, Suiza. Mientras esta gran asociación lucha por los derechos de nuestra raza, un grupo de pequeños satélites de la raza negra se reunen y se orgainzan para calumniarnos y combatirnos; sinembargo, los millones de miembros de la raza quienes sienten el deseo de emancipación, se han declarado a favor de nuestra causa. Hemos de luchar hasta adquirir la completa y absoluta emancipación de nuestra raza y de nuestra madre patria. Juan Bautista Vicini Burgos, que ha sido escogido como presidente provisional, es uno de los hombres más conocidos en la república dominicana, hombre rico y buen administrador. Nunca ha tomado parte activa con ningun partido político y por esta razon se cree que su elección satisfaga a todas las faciones. Más aún, debido a las dificultades económicas y comerciales que confrontaró el nuevo gobierno, se reconoce que la administración de la hacienda pública sera de la mayor importancia y que será necesario gran ciudad para crear las rentas del gobierno, el cual ha de confrontar gastos necesarios con la instalación da la policía dominicana requerida. Nos sorprende sobremanera al notar la poca preparación de que estan dotados los que suelen llamarse directores y en particular su tendencia a oponerse a todo aquello que significique adelanto para nuestra raza. Las personas que realizan y acquieren lo que es realmente necesario son aquellas a quienes estos tal llamados directores critical. Estamos en bancarrota en lo que respecta a dirección. La presente generación nos ha dado muy pocos hombres en quienes podamos depender como guias en los asuntos que a nuestra raza conciernen. Los hombres de negocios dominicanos irán despacio al principio, se hace constar, antes de metarse en nuevas empresas, y con dificultades económicas similares a las que han prevalecido durante los ultimos años en muchos otros países. Reconecen que la situación financiera en la república dominicana requerita mucha cautela el menos sen el primer año, a fin de impedir que se desarrollle una situación económica y financiera de gravedad. En general, no obstante, puede decirse que este gobierno está satisfecho de la manera cómo se desenvolve los acontecimientos en la república dominicana y cree que en las presentes circunstancias mirachan lo más rápidamente posible. Tenemos que convertir esta raza del presente en una nueva raza. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra es la encargada de esta labor, por cuya razón llamamos a todo hombre y mujer de nuestra raza universalmente para que cooperen, dándonos el apoyo necesario. Es nuestro mas vivo deseo el que todo hombre, mujer y niño de la raza se abrigue bajo el Rojo, Negro y Verde, colores de nuestro estandarte, los cuales significan libertad. Con este estandarte irmos adelante, afrontando un mundo de oposición y como una reliquia hemos de defenderlo. La Depuración de los Fraude Administrativos Cubanos Gran escándalo y consternación estan causado en los diarios de los Estados Unidos los resultados de la investigación realizada en la administración cubana, para depurar la gestión de importantes y elevados funcionarios gubernativos. Varios departamentos oficiales, que intervenan en el manejo de entianistas fondos públicos, parecen haber caido bajo la esfera de acción de osados malversadores. Los desfalcos e ilegítima inversion de dineros del erario, son especialmente considerables en la administración de loterias. El sistema de subastas públicas para adjudicar obras del estado cervia también para la comisión de operaciones sanciónadas por la ley. La corrupción alcanzaba vastimas proporciones cuando se resolvió el presidente a la depuración radical de todo el organismo oficial. Por algún tiempo los enemigos de nuestro movimiento han tratado de influir prejuicio en la opinión pública en contra nuestra; han organizado su propaganda para obtener individuos que testifiquen en contra de nuestros casos pendiente. Estos han sido los métodos empleados por nuestros rivales, lo cual demuestra muy poca o ninguna consideración en lo que concerne al respeto de una raza. Cuando los tal llamados directores de nuestra raza recurren a estos medios para oponerse a las ideas avanzadas de otros miembros de su propia raza, deducimos que no solamente revelan la envidia de que son objeto, sino que también revelan la poca inteligencia de que son dotados para guiar los destinos de nuestro pueblo. En la hipótesis de que la influencia siniestra de estos iscariotes tome algún vuelo, la lucha por la realización de nuestro ideal ha de continuar hasta adquirir nuestra absoluta emancipación, esperanza de todo Negro espareido por el universo. Sin duda que las revelaciones son dolorosas, y no provocan precisamente un canto al alabanza al etiquette de dogas que revelan en Culic De hecho, alabes que la cría intensa la porque através la república desde hace tres años ha causado al pals males terribles y al amparo de la desorganización general, fomentado abusos y escándalo que se producen slebrem en esas situaciones. Pero el anunido de los frutos de la investigación y de la labor depuradora administrativa, son, justamente, el indicio más firme de la vuelta a la normalidad y a la moralidad gubernativa. Los cables que informan haben sido procesados elevadismos funcionarios, personalidades de vinculaciones familiares ilustres y hombres de reputación hasta hoy intable, en vez de producir pesimismo y aumentar la depresión de los buenos patriotas cubanos, debe servir de aliento y comfortamiento, porque revelan la adopción resulta de medias radicalmente constructivas. Son el hierro y el fuego aplicado a la llaga que aseguran la curación del mal. Por otra parte, dentro de la gravedad de la situación de Cuba se puede ya ahora ver que allí impera el buen sentido y que la autoridad se hace sentir. Si habia errores y corrupción en grado extraordinario, la expiación que parece incircarse está llamada a ser ejemplar. Y cuanto más sonados sean los nombres complicados en el escandalo, más se puede jurgar que es salubriyed y radical la energía aplicada a dominar el desastre. Ademas, en comparación, y en este país se tiene que ir a ella en casos como este, la prensa de los Estados Unidos no podía, logicamente, exagerar las proporciones del "affaire" cubano. La administración de Washington y las de los estados de la Unión, han conocido y conocen diariamente de "affaires" nada distintos a los que se están ahora corrigiendo en la Habana. Con la sola diferencia de que alla se ha tratado de malversaciones de científicos de miles de dólares y aquí se han evaporado, centenares de millones sin que hasta ahora haya sido cesado, condenado o siquiera, uuesto a la vindicta publica un gran personaje de la influencia en las administraciones republicanas o democráticas. La mision del general Crowder en la Habana es moraltzadora y puede producir bienes incalculables. Pero no debe exagerarse ni su alcance ni lo usolito del espectaculo que presencia. En la capital federal ha podido presenciarlos iguales o peores no hace mucho.—La Prensa, N. Y. DESDE LAS HERÓICAS MONTANAS DE CUBA Nuestra Organización y los Cubanos de la Raza en Oriente Parece que la fiesta celebrada por la División 194 en los salones del Club Aponte, de esta localidad en la noche del 31 de Agosto pasado, ha despertado gran entusiasmos entre los elementos de nuestra raza en Oriente El proximo domingo se dará una conferencia en una de las plazas públicas de esta crudidad. He aqui el manifesto que para invitar al público se ha lanzado. CONFERENCIA PÚBLICA El Comite de propaganda y organización de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra invita, por este medio, al pueblo de Santiago de Cuba para el meeting que se celebrará el proximo domingo i de Octubre en el Paseo de Martí y Estrada Palma.—La Comisión Ha hecho su aparición en la arena periodica "La Luz" semanario de intereses generales, bajo la sabia dirección del distinguido caballero Eligio Dilu. Adelapte, recordando este sublime verso de un gran poeta santiguero: "Que el caballero sula su camino. Agravias desafiado con su laanza. Todo noble teson, al cabo alcanza Fijar las justes las del destino." Se nos ha enterado que varios de los miembros de la División de esta ciudad estan descontentos con el modo de proceder del señor tesorero. Unión, unión y unión, queridos hermanos; con ella seremos fuertes y nada podrá obstaculizar nuestra gran obra. EL LAMENTABLE SUCEO DE VISTA ALEGRE EN LA NOCHE DEL 27 DE SEP TEMBRE En la mafia del dia 28 de Septiembre tuvimos la fatal noticia de que una joven de nacionalidad inglesa ha sabido muerto a un joven de la rara blanca. Nos dirigimos al edificio municipal con el objeto de tener una entrevista con la detenida y poder informar a nuestros lectores de lo ocurrido. A nuestra llegada fulmos recibidos por el jeffe del departamento, quien nos facilitos los medios para entrevistar a la persona que nos interesaba. Señora—fue nuestra manifestación—venimos a entrevistar en estos tristes momentos para. Ud, porque es nuestro deseo el que se ha justificado. Puede. Ud. Informarnos como sucede el hecho que trajo por remisión si detenido. Auya pregunta cometido. Yo sali de mi colocación, cuando al llegar a la esquina de la calle 8, se moca aceraron cuatro jóvenes quienes empezaron a pincharme con un pail de lo cual protesté. Ellos continuaron en asalta y yo tuve la oportunity de quitarles el palo. Emprendieron a correr y yo les arrojé el palo, alcanzando a uno de ellos, quien a los varios pasos cayo al suelo, sin que yo supiera que habia muerto. Eso es todo lo que yo se de lo occurrido, nos manifesto la detenida Sra. Campbell. *Podriamos dudar de tales manifestaciones, cuando en más de una ocasión hemos tenido que intervenir en beneficio de mujeres indefensas, quienes solamente van a Vista Alegre a ganarse el pan para sus hijos* Aún recordamos cuando la Sra. Rosa Torres fue insultada por un grupo de jóvenes y a no ser por nuestra pronta intervención, quizas hubleramos tenido que lamentar otra desgracia. La justicia cubana ha demostrado imparcialidad y ha de investigar como tal el hecho a que hacemos referencia. La madre del finado manifesta que su hijo tenia un padececimiento en el corazón y opinamos que este haido la causa de tan fatal desenlace.

Armisticio en los Dardanelos La aceptacion por los nacionalistas turcos de las condiciones alqadas ponda muy probablemente termino a la conferencia militar de Mudania mucho más pronto de lo que se esperaba. Las tropas de Kemal mantendran fuera de la zona neutral y pondran alto a su avance contra las defensas de los británicos así como su movimiento hacia Constantinopla. El peligro del choque entre los nacionalistas y británicos enfrentados, que ha sido imminente por una semana, se elimina así y queda la via abierta enseguida para un armistico. El peligro actual está en un conflicto en la Tracia oriental entre los griegos y los turcos. Un «forme de Atenas recibido en Londia indica que Grecia está reparándose para una posible reanudación de la guerta y que ha ordenado la movilización de grupos de ejercitos. Los dos delegados griegos en Mudana recibieron instrucciones de rechazar las proposiciones de evacuación de la Tracia y Venizelos en Londres presentó una energía protesta contra la entrega del territorio a los nacionalistas turcos. La actitud de la conferencia de Mudanza en este asunto es que el destino que se de a la Tracia to haalla dentro de la jurisdicción de un tribunal militar La conferencia mantiene que es tan poco de desear dentro de las actuales circunstancias que el ejercito griego esté en control como que lo esten los nacionalistas. Una supervision general del territorio por fuerzas aliadas no es improbable que se adopte como medio de mantener la paz y el orden hasta que se llegue a una solución final por la conferencia de paz. El soviet russo ha aparecido por primera vez como factor en esta conferencia. La política que sique en ella ha sido delineada por Lenine en una declaración reciente, en la que dije que Rusia estaba siendo objeto de un bloqueo por los ingleses y que todos los estados del mar Negro deberían tener parte en la decision del destino de los estrechos. Realmente está retrocediendo el tratado concertado entre el ministro de relaciones exteriores de los soviets, Tchitcherin, y el gobierno de Angora en Maroz de 1921, permitiendo a Moscou compartir con Turquia el control de los Dardaneles y el Bósforo. Sobre la base de que desea ser consecuente la negativa del control conjunto con otra nación, el gobierno de Angora se muestra deseo de que se abrogue su tratado con el gobierno de Moscow. Kemal empieza en encontrar embarazosa su inicial amistad con los bolchevíquenas. La conferencia de Mudania ha tenido no sólo por efecto producir un armistico, sino que al mismo tiempo has revelado las partes que Grecia y Rusia descan desempeñar en la esperada conferencia para solucionar el problema del cercano oriente.

Puerto Rico Urge: Is Suspensión del Gobierno Rely Se ha hecho nueva representación ante el presidente Harding pidiendo la remoción del gobernador de Puerto Rico, por el partido unionista de la laia. Declarando que la administración de Harding prometió que se haría justicia, alegate que eso no se ha cumplido en el caso de Reilly, el cual ha continuado sus excesos contra los derechos de los puertorriqueños. En la resolución se acusa a Reilly de política de terrorismo y que carece de la capacidad moral necesaria para un cargo de tan alta responsabilidad.

(b) Condenar los procedimientos insidiosos de los que, ayudando al gobernador Reily en la politica pretenden convertir a Puerto Rico en una factoría de pueblo conquistado, que no tiene derecho a aspirar a los beneficios de un gobierno libre y democrático, ignorando o tratando de ignorar los derechos que la ciudadanía americana, que ellos mismos invocan, otorga a un millón y trescientos mil seres humanos que viven aquí victimas de la más inicia de las exploitaciones e eredicas a nombre y en desprestigo de esa ciudadanía y de la bandera que es simbolo de la libertad y de la redención del bombre Informacion General REQUISITOS NECESARIOS PARA SER MIEMBRO DE LA "ASOCIACION UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA."

The function opened by the usual preliminaries. The second vice-president, in the chair, made the opening address referring to the work done by the High Commissioner in connection with the release of the Negro World. At the close of his address Rev. S. M. Jones was introduced master of ceremonies. The band rendered a selection after which Rev. Jones gave a very appropriate dress. The select program was rendered after which the members of the Black Cross Society presented an address to the High Commissioner by Mimi Elaid. followed by one from the Universal African Legion by Mr. Gibson, with presentation of a ceremony from Black Cross Society and Universal African Legion. This was followed by an address from the general membership by Mrs. B. A. McKarlane, the general secretary. At this stage the Hon. James O'Meally arose amidst great applause and gave a rousing address. Among other things said, he referred to attempts being made to keep him from leaving for the convention; he also asked more ladies to join the Black Cross Society, as it will enable them to be fit for services in future years, and also more men for the Legion. In speaking of the Black Cross Nurses he promised to recommend them to the Parent Body, and also to the ladies of the New York Local. All though small in number they had done well. In holding fast and stick close to the banner of the Red, Black and Green (Appearance). The band then rendered a selection, followed by an address by Dr. Bruno Forbes, the executive secretary, after which the band rendered several collections. M. R. A. Lee Grant, treasurer, then addressed the High Commissioners. The function was then brought to a close, followed by a limitation served in honor of the High Commissioners. All the executive officers were present, along with Rev. H. M. Jones, the alder-tongued orator of the division. All Black Cross Nurse units must secure competent institutions to teach in first aid, community health work and home hygiene and care of the sick.

By J B. CHINSMAN For the proper development of this grand noble and attainable ideal, by which the Negro will realize himself and breathe the pure air and unalloyed atmosphere of freedom and liberty, the birthright of every race of mankind, there is no spot in the sun more suitable and fraught at least for the present—with less difficulty in its realization in the black belt than the republic of Liberia, headquarters of the I' N L A. Liberia, it will be recalled was founded expressly for this very purpose, so that the Negro, like other branches of the human race, might veal himself to the outside world as capable and efficient of exhibiting a concrete form the higher qualities of a progressive and self-conscious race. But, alas she has deplorably failed the world in this respect. It will be a lasting credit to the republic and for that matter, the entire Negro race, if her statesmen would submerge self in race-consciousness by burying their worn-out and unprogressive policy and substituting in its stead the far-reaching and all-embracing program of Garveyism. I am confident if this is adopted her future advancement and development will be phenomenal: There is no earthly reason why Liberia should play Tantalus in the comity of nations when it is taken into consideration that she is grooming under the weight of wealth both positive and potential. It is indeed humiliating to the Negro race to see the President and statesmen of their only republic—Abyssinia, of course excepted—going from one money market to the other in Europe and America, with hats off and hands behind as it begged for a loan. The conditions under which such loans are usually granted, to say the least are degrading to a free sovereign and independent state surcharged with wealth. But beggars are no choosers, force of circumstance will surely compel acceptance, inasmuch as independence is not interfered with. Japan was in a similar situation peculiarly in the not long ago. A leader writer in the Saturday Review London, 1918, said inter alia. America remembers that it was she who drew Nippon from its medieval aloofness. She it was who knocked at a closed door, and Commodore Perry called upon the Shogun and Mikado with a curiously minatory voice. "It was no unarmed ships that President Fillmore sent to Japan. His letter was a curt demand for trading privilege, and it throw the feudal nation into panic and alarm. Since that far-off day—and the Marquis Okuma can recall it—the progress of Japan is perhaps the greatest marvel in history. Now Garveyism does not speak to Liberia in a curiously minatory voice nor send her a curt letter with armed ships demanding acceptance of the ideal it promulgates, but a gentle and persuasive reminder "Awake' my brother, awake' The day is far spent and the night is at hand Arise' take up thy bed and walk. Quit ye like men' Be strong, physically, economically financially, educationally scientifically and spiritually" Soul speaks to soul and race to race. A follow-feeling makes one wondrous kind Can message or words be nobler? There is nothing in it that could throw any people, however low in the scale of civilization "into panic and alarm.' Liberia' think and decide Further Since the war Japan has undoubtedly enjoyed a "flush time." And her shipping was ready for the boom, having increased by 550 per cent, since 1898. Russia alone called upon her for 9,500,000 yards of cloth for army uniform* and £20,000,000 worth of munitions of war. The elimination of German and Austrian competition poured money into Japan, where the narakin, or mushroom millionaire, was soon a crude portent in the land, with his palace in the Ginza, his gorgeous motors and banquets that rivaled those of Newport or New York in the days of America's Babyylonian luxury Shinga Uchida, the shipping magnate, cleared 5,000,000 yen in one year, his company paid a dividend of 650 per cent—the largest ever known in Japan. Norus of Kobe, Harada of Ckaka and Ichiyu Igo of Yokohama—the are marakins of today. The last named made a meteoric fortune in iron and steel. Other millions are made in dystuffs and cotton, sheet glass and antimony, electric wire and apparatus, as well as porcelain and matches, paper celluloid and toys. Meanwhile Japan as a nation had changed from borrower to lender. --- Here is an object-less lesson for Liberians to ponder, with all their latent resources yet untouched. Since that far-off eventful day, when Japan with fear and trembling opened wide her door to usher in light, she began to at once set her house in order, so that in the short space of 18 years she had increased her shipping tonnage by 650 per cent and rapidly advanced economically, which enabled her to enjoy a flush time during the great war, so much so that millionaires sprang up in the land like mushrooms. One shipping magnate alone cleared £5,000,000 profit in twelve months and his company was able to pay to shareholders a dividend of £650 on each £100,000 invested. Instead of borrower she became a lender. Magnificent! It will be interesting to know how many million dollars Liberians invested in the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation, so that when the boom comes, as it surely will the day her mineral resources are tapped and vegetable produce well handled, they will have a "Rush time." This is important for Liberians to note, and only Liberians, but thinking New Yorkers know. Lise will not be able to cope successfully with the trade of the republic when it shall have been well harnessed. Knowing conditions, I lay great stress on the advisability of increased tonnage, and that without much ado in time of peace prepare for war, is a saner and wiser policy than to wait until the last moment, when probably your opponent, always on the alert gets ahead of you and gives you a sound thrashing for your non preparedness and lack of vision And further Russia floated a loan with her eastern neighbor American securities were largely bought by Japan as well as £10 000 000 worth of British Exchequer bonds her reserve of gold specie today is £80 000 000 and her foreign trade now approaches £200 000 000 a year. This is the land which, not so long ago, tried to borrow a paltry million on the London market and was charged 12 per cent with its uses rigidly marked and the lenders laughed at for their folly in trusting a theatrical people whose industrial capacity was so notorious. If Liberia would only listen to the voice of reason and common sense, as is forcibly and logically pointed out by barrysayism the time will not be long when she shall no more have the mortification of going from one money market to logging loans with high perc. to guiling conditions instead, she will have enough and to spare. Her lenders today will not be laughed at for their folly in trusting a people whose industrial incapacity is so notorious. There is, we are told, nothing new under the sun. Japan's adversity yesterday is Liberia a today and who has the hardihood to say, all things being equal, that her prosperity today shall not also be that of Liberia tomorrow? There is nothing absurd or impracticable in Garveyism. The sum and substance of its teachings are Know thyself—know that thou art a man endowed with all the faculties of the other man, and given the same opportunity you can do what the other know. Know that there are diversities in nature, your being a Negro does not make you the less a man. The white dog and the black dog are all dogs sprung from the same common stock. Their colorings do not change them to other beasts. Dogs they are and dogs will ever remain. So with the gonua homo There is a book which it will be good news to hear is in the hands of every educated and progressive Liberian a book written entirely by the Japanese themselves, portraying every phase of their life, entitled "Japan, by the Japanese" and edited by Alfred Stead, London, dedicated to the Emperor. A careful study of this work will show them at a glance what Mr Garvey and his faithful band of brothers are by pen and word, in season and out of season, trying with might and main to instil into the heart of the Negro A copy of this volume should also be kept in the library of well organised branches of the U N I. A., having permanent buildings of their own, as it is a "gem of purest ray serene". The work and fruit of patriotism which made Japan, though of the yellow race, stand today shoulder to shoulder with the great powers of the world. There is much muchness in that book with Garveyism. I, therefore, take the liberty herein earnestly to recommend it to all Negro patrols. Many politicians of our time, says Lord Macaulay, are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be (politically) free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of a fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water until he had learned to swim. If men are to wait for liberty till they become good and wise in (political) slavery, they may, indeed, wait forever We, in British West Africa, are smarting under this pernicious doctrine of our rules. We are qualified for everything civic but the ballot. When Liberia shall have become strong—physically, financially, scientifically, economically, educationally and spiritually, then the political side of Garveyism will unfurl itself. At first blush it appears bold and starling, but a little reflecting shows it is not, so there is no need for anybody to worry himself about it just yet. It will adjust itself in the fullness of time, as sure as night follows day, so shall it be. Room shall have to be made for her surplus population. And whither shall it go? To Europe? To Asia? Or to America? Oh, no, that expansion must and will be nowhere else than in Africa—West Africa, for that matter. The Negro must have a place in the African sun to call his own. From the beginning, God, in His infinite wisdom, has set the bounds of our habitation as well as those of the other races of mankind. The self-constituted trustees of the Negro in Africa, her neighbors—France and England—will be required morally as well as legally, to relinquish their trusteeship, if honest, which I very much doubt they are, as the people, having arrived at maturity, are able to take care of themselves and work out their own salvation with fear and trembling. If they do not, then the inevitable as a natural sequence will follow—the question discussed man-fashion. To discuss the pronouns "thine" and "mine" in a man's own house and of the house, man-fashion, is dreadful to think of. Japan discussed it with Russia not so long ago, and with what result everybody knows. "The little people," as Kipling humorously calls them, drove the Great Bear to its hair, bleeding at every pore—dumb, helpless, confounded. While the world wondered. J B.

Rupert (christian) received a telegram from His Excellency the Hon. Martus Carney to raise the balance of the Delegation fund on Bunda. Oct 1 This notice was very short and by 5 20 a.m. Sunday morning the Secretary was on the road trying to spread the news which the telegram brought the night before. He visited several houses and when the regular Sunday afternoon service attained the folks were partially acquainted with the program of the afternoon. It was previously arranged that this day would be set apart to receive money collected on the drive for the purchase of a Liberty Hall Just before the program for the day was gone into a pleasant little cero- mon took place.

The program of the Convention this year will be far in advance of that of the two preceding conventions. Important Commissions will be sent abroad from the Convention, and a great deal of constructive work will be done and representatives sent to different parts of the world to carry out the commands of the Convention. Therefore it is incumbent upon every Negro to contribute his or her bit to meet the tremendous expenses that will be inflicted upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The demonstration this year will surpass anything of its kind ever staged by any race. It is expected that several thousand delegates and members will attend the one of the Convention the first of August. Delegates will be coming from all parts of the world to take part in the deliberations of the Convention, and the British, French, United States, Italian, Belgium, Spanish and Portuguese Governments have been requested to send representatives to the Convention for the purpose of stating their social policies in regard to their government of Negro and Negroid peoples under their dominion. Please send in your dollars, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred, to help in the work. Address your communication to Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, United States of America.
