No. 10 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Our friend, Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, has been called by the white race to speak in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland, and in parts of England. He is supposed to tell the people he will address of Africa's needs. This in itself seems harmless, on the surface, but we are not disposed to take this call of Mr Moton to speak in Europe at this time at its face value. This is really the time when we must be saved from our friends. As we see it, the case is as follows: At the Bottom of It The white nations interested in the exploitation of Africa have suddenly discovered that there is a universal agitation for the redemption of Africa by the black peoples of the world and that the Africans themselves at home are taking an active part in fostering this agitation. Their brothers in America, the West Indies, South and Central America, Asia, and Europe are giving them a strong helping hand. Millions of Negroes in the western world are now working toward the end of African redemption. Not very long ago the Universal Negro Improvement Association sent to the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland, a delegation of representative Negro men to lay before that august body the claims of the entire race for the freedom of Africa. Great publicity has been given to the matter in Europe, to the extent of stirring up sentiment among the Europeans, at least the working classes. To offset this forward movement of the Negro peoples of the world, the white capitalists, working through their various Christian Missionary Societies have decided to give a new aspect to the African question. They desire to convince the world that Africa does not need an independence all her own, but that Africa's development should be dependent upon the good Christian graces of the white Christian Missionary Societies, supported by the good white Christian philanthropists. They calculate that if they can get the world to see Africa's future from this viewpoint, there would be very little likelihood of the masses of white people sympathizing with this new claim advanced by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for Africa's redemption. Now, what is behind all this? The answer is, it is simply that the white capitalists of Wall Street, the bank district of London, and the financial centers of France and Italy are determined to strengthen their grip upon Africa's throat, and throttle her until every ounce of gold, silver, copper, coal, iron, oil, and all minerals are squeezed out of her through the sweat and blood of the African natives themselves. To successfully do this, the Africans at home and the Africans abroad must be convinced that it is a right thing for them to welcome the foreign Christian Missionary agencies from Europe, and the protecting influence of the great European Governments. Blood Money Now that the Negro has started to think for himself, the white Christian leaders and philanthropists realize that it will be very hard for them A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922 HIS MISSION White Capitists Trying to Trick Negro Race Through Negroes Who Receive Their Money PLOT TO CABLE UP AFRICA Head of Tuskegee Never Before Interested in Africa to convince us to accept their "friendly (?) protection." Hence they feel that the best that can be done would be to get a representative Negro to say for them what they would very much like to have said. Our friend Dr. Moton is the fittest man for such a job, because he and his institution, as well as the Hampton Institute (which, by the way, sent Major Allen Washington to accompany Dr. Moton), are the two Negro institutions that have received millions of dollars from white philanthropists to teach Negroes in the way they should go. When our late lamented friend, Dr. Washington, and our friend Dr. Moton received their millions of dollars from white philanthropists, in America, they little calculated that they were receiving but the blood money for which their race must be sold. No white man gives away money in the thousands without a purpose behind it. The purpose behind all the philanthropy among Negro schools and institutions is that these institutions would give Negroes the kind of education that would alienate them from all those things that tend to make them a united, strong and independent race. Tuskegee was never encouraged to teach the liberated slaves even of to-day their relationship with Africa; neither did Hampton teach this. If these two institutions had taught the thousands of black students who passed through them their racial and national kinship to Africa, to-day Africa would not be so parceled out among the alien races and nation of Europe. But Africa would have been a vast native commonwealth, controlled and governed by Africans themselves. A $5,000 Check—What It Means! The lessons of racial and national love for Africa that should have been imparted to the thousands of liberated slaves would have inspired them to return to their Motherland, to help in her development. White philanthropists saw to it that no such thing was taught neither the liberated slaves of America, nor those of the West Indies, but that they subsidized these Negro institutions for the purpose of inspiring our race to love everybody and everything except ourselves and our country, during which time they redoubled every effort to grab every inch of African territory, until to-day Africa, north, south, east and west, and central, is all the property of the white man, which he intends to exploit for the enrichment of himself and his race. When Julius Rosenwald gives his check for $5,000 and Carnegie for $10,000, it all means that you, the black man, and your country, must repay it one hundred fold, because later on I intend to invest so much in African rubber, dia- PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES monds, copper, iron, gold, or coal, and so as to be able to secure my investment and make the profit that I hope to gain, either myself personally or my posterity, I will call upon the leaders of your race, whom I have subsidized through their institutions, to tell you just what I want done. You will naturally believe your own. Hence we find Dr. Moton going to Scotland and England to tell the world of Africa's needs, under the direction of the white philanthropists and Christian Missionaries. What Is Going to Happen I hardly believe that Dr. Moton is conscious of what he is about to do, because he looks upon it as a great honor bestowed upon the Negro race for a black man to be called to speak before a white missionary society in Edinburgh, and a Christian Endeavor convention in Glasgow. That is all he sees of it, but the white man has a deeper meaning than that. Those of us on this side of the Atlantic will expect to read in the New York World, the New York Times, and other white daily papers, the advice of our good friend Dr. Moton, as released by the Associated Press from Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. These American papers that are but carriers of the capitalist program will tell us how great a leader Dr. Moton is, how sane and sober his advice to the colored people, and that the colored people should follow him in the direction given. The unthinking colored press will take it up, and convey it to the home of every colored man in the United States of America and elsewhere, and thus the white capitalist propaganda will be put over, to the detriment of the race, without our knowledge of it. Fortunately, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to expose these little tricks that have been practised to the detriment of Africa. We hope that no member of our race will pay any attention to what Dr. Moton says in the matter of Africa's needs, because it is strange that he had nothing to say about Africa until he was called by these white missionaries and philanthropists to speak. Africa needs very little of the advice that the so-called Christian nations are giving to her at the present time. They have had hundreds of years for Christianizing Africa, and all that they have done during that time was to rob, ravish and exploit her. We will no longer trust ourselves to their advice. Let every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cling firmer to the program we have initiated—that of an emancipated Negro race, and a free and redeemed Africa. Support this with your moral, physical and financial strength, and if all of us will loyally obey the dictates of this great world movement, there is absolutely no reason why we shall not, in a short while, defeat the enemies at their game. Send in whatever financial support you can to the Parent Body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. N. Y., and help us put over the program. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General. Universal Negro Improvement Association. New York, October 17, 1922. GARVEY WARNS OF PLANS IN MOTION TO DECEIVE THE NEGRO 2 LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, Oct. 15, 1922 — it becomes the duty of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which is leading the Negroes of the world on to their destiny and pointing them to the ultimate goal of complete freedom and emancipation in the establishment of a government of their own on the continent of Africa to sound a warning to the race in all parts of the world from time to time of the dangers with which they are fraught, but they be diverted from the object in view and be defeated in their purpose. This, the Hon Marcus Garvey as the recognized leader of the race, did tonight before a vast audience, taking as the text of his message the subject, "The United Voice of Generations." He drew attention to the fact that quite recently Mr. Robert R. Moton, head of Tuukeegey Institute had been designated by white people to go to Scotland to speak on the subject of Africa's need. Mr. Garvey, with his keen vision, was able to see in this race to deceive the Negro and teach him of the needs of Africa from the white man's point of view, which was designed to keep the Negro in perpetual slavery and curb his ambitions and aspirations toward making of himself and his people an independent race. He pointed out the significance of this act on the part of the white people of this country following on the heels of the mission on which the delegation sent by the Universal Negro Improvement Association to Europe to the League of Nations conference for the purpose of telling the world the needs and desires of the race. In the emancipation of this new race of ours, Mr. Garvey said it does not want any black man to go to Scotland to tell the world what Africa needs, everybody knows what Africa needs. Africa needs honest construction, the same kind of construction Europe is receiving, and America is receiving and Asia is receiving from the powers and forces of the world. Africa needs her liberty. Africa needs her freedom, and it does not need others to tell them that, because if Africans are human beings like other people they need the same things as other people Mr. Garvey, by deductive reasoning pointed out the danger to the race's interests created by the so-called philanthropists in endowing Negro institutions with large gifts of money, stating that it would naturally follow that the class of people so endowed must be willing to help their benefactors put over the program they have for ruling the world and the entire human race. That is why, he said, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has tried to be an independent movement, and why it is struggling to do everything for itself it was not that the association could not impress the Carnegie Foundation or the Rockefeller Foundation of the righteousness of our cause and receive five or ten million dollars, but before the association was started and during its existence, we fully realized that if you accept food from some one, when he is ready for your services you are bound to answer, otherwise he will cut off that by which you are supported. In conclusion he warned against depending upon the philanthropy and leadership of another race, declaring that it was deceived to keep the race in perpetual slavery. The other speakers were Prof Wm H. Ferris, Hon. Vernal Williams and Hon. R. L. Poston. Prof. Ferris' address was brimful of wholesome and thoughtful redections on the work of the U. N. I. A. It has put the black man in the limelight, he said. So many men have come into prominence through being connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and through cussing out the Universal Negro Improvement Association that they ought to be eternally grateful to it. Just as the Negro problem has been the horse and hobby on which Southern statesmen and politicians have ridden into Congress and the gubernatorial chair, so the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been the horse and hobby by which several men have ridden into the limelight. He pointed out the failures of other movements, such as the Negro Church and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which organisations, he claimed, were limited in their activities and did not offer the full opportunities for development of the race along all lines. There was no limit to the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because when you start out to develop a continent and build up industrial enterprises you will go on and on to the ninth degree, and that is why, when the Universal Negro Improvement Association was started, hundreds of thousands flocked to it, and that is why in several large cities it has an enrollment of from two to five times as large as the biggest Negro church. Critics may poke fun at it, he said; they may laugh at it, but today it is the greatest dynamic force among black men everywhere. The Negro heretofore has been like a weapon—some other race has had to attach the horse to pull him along; but now he is like an automobile, generating his energetic impulse within himself. And because the world realizes that the Negro has stopped from the reason to the automobile class through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is now taking him seriously. which he characterized as a group of panhandlers who had suddenly changed their policies to fight the U.N. A because they could more by so doing. Even the enemies Mr. Williams Declare admit that the universal Negro improvement Association has done more for the Negro in the short space of its existence than any other Negro movement. Its definition of the con- lusion of black men the world over is impregnable, the doctrine of Africa for the Africans is invulnerable and that is why we are going strong because humanity accepts that those who are ruled should have a voice in the govern- ment that rules them, humanity expe- sions that the black man like any other man, should determine his own govern- mental and political destiny, and that is why the Universal Negro Improv- ment Association can never be obliterated from the existence of the Negro or of the world, because its principles are right, because the Negro's highest mundane hope can be no other than consolidation of the groups the world over and formation into a government that will dictate the policies of the world as far as the Negroes are concerned. HON. MARCUB GARVEY APEAK8 HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS Hon Marcus Garvey spoke as follows. My subject for tonight is "The United Voice of the Generations - Generations yet unborn cry to us at this hour for a leadership that will usher unto them the light of freedom, the light of liberty—that which generations past have deprived of. In answer to the cry—in answer to the voice of the generations yet unborn—the universal Negro Improvement Association comes out in this age of world reorganization—world reconstruction and says. We shall so work we shall so live, we shall so conduct ourselves that in our departure from this world and in the going out of this age we will bequeath to posteriorly that which it has sought—that for which we hear the voice of the ages crying out In the effort to hand down to positivity that which is sought not only by our race but by all races we come in direct contact with opposing forces—forces that are not disposed to welcome any either from this generation or other generations of our race yet unborn a race of freemen, but to the contrary to welcome a new race of serfs of peons and of slaves. The calculation of the present age is one of exploitation among those who are too weak to defend themselves, too unprepared, too unarmed to defend themselves. The signs of the times reveal to us a continuance in power of only those races and nations that are strong enough to hold their own in this day, in this time, in this age of change. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are preparing to be a part of this universal day—a change that we hope will make us a strong people—a people sufficiently armed to protect ourselves against all the evil forces that are aligned against us. That there are forces operating against us no one is blind enough not to see, nor dense enough not to understand. The forces that are operating against us as a people are very intelligent in their ways and manners of operating. Some of us look for opposition from direct contact. That visible opposition we may never see as a race in this time, because man reserves to himself methods of diplomacy that will best enable him to deceive his enemy and win his cause without bringing into direct play and vision the thing that is sought. Some of us expect that the races or nations that oppose us as a people must come out openly and manifest themselves—that if a white man, for instance, is opposed to you, he must openly come out and knock you down and stand in your way before you can understand he is opposed to you. That may have been the method in the past, but it is not the method used today by those organized forces and powers that seek to destroy others in opposition to their will. They adopt methods of diplomacy, and at this time there is a great organized opposition operating against us, not in a visible manner, but through the medium of diplomacy. Some of us make it our duty to study such a method, and by our study of that method we render ourselves able to explain to those who have not the time to so study or to think of such things, so that the entire race can be properly guided and directed in the way we should go. Now it has been announced that our friend fi : Tuskegee (Dr. Robert R. Moton) is o. go to Scotland—I believe he has called—along with another friend (a colored man) from Hampton Institute, or with Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, a white man. They are to speak in Scotland on the subject of Africa's need or some subject of that kind. The average man would not thing anything of it. What do we see in that? We see the hidden purpose of those who have opposed us. W. see the hidden design of those who are opposed to the idea of this or any other generation of Negroes being free and independent. We see in it a skillful effort of an intelligent enemy to still blind and deceive this race of ours. We find the purpose of the intelligent enemy in still having us believe that all is well and all will be well. It cannot be found anywhere outside of the last five or six years during the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association where any Negro has ever been invited by governments or semi-official governmental movements to speak to the people anywhere about the race or about Africa. But this invitation comes to our friend THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY.

N. I. A. Because of What They Can Earn by It—Makes Caustic Analysis of Their Motives from Tuskager following what I following the sending of a mission to a delegation of this Association to Europe to represent to Europe and to the world at large the needs and the desires of this new race of ours. What are those desires? The need of an independent African commonwealth, the need of an amnipacated race. We sent such a commission to represent each need, such a desire, on our part, and immediately following that we find another member of our race invited by the people from whom we are seekingughters, to tell us what Africa needs. I trust you understand and see what I am trying to make out. They took 300 to 500 years to get a Negro to tell them what Africa needs. So it follows that they did not know for 500 years what Africa was in need of. For 500 years they were not appreciative of Africans' needs. Would you, now that you have found yourself with enough intelligence, intelligence which has compared with theirs allow them to tell you what Africa needs. Forcing the World to Act The Universal Negro Improvement Association is forcing not only this country, but the entire world, to act. And at this time the entire world, especially those who have profited by the labor of the Negro, by the enslavement of the Negro and who hope still to profit thereby, that today are as organized as any people or government can be to defeat us in the purpose that we are engaged in. Not because they do not come out openly and say it, you will not expect opposition to races or movements or nations to be open, that opposition you will have to seek out and find, and the opposition that is directed against us by those powers that have kept us slaves for 300 years, by those powers who expect to profit by our enslavement for eternity, will not be openly conducted by themselves, but will be conducted by man of our own race so as to prevent the suspicion that would naturally be aroused if they themselves were to direct the opposition in the open. Some of us are used unconciously to carry out or conduct this opposition. I would not for one moment accuse the able success, to Dr. Washington (Mr Moton) as being directly a part to opposing his own race's advancement, but I believe from my opinion that he is unconciously being used as one of the instruments of defeating Africa's freedom—Africa's liberty. In the emancipation of this new-making race of ours it does not want any black man to go to Scotland to tell the world what Africa needs. Everybody knows what Africa needs. Africa needs honest construction. Africa needs the largest construction. Africa needs the same kind of construction Europe is receiving and America is receiving and Asia is receiving from the powers and forces of the world. Africa needs her liberty. Africa needs her freedom. If Africa is made up of human beings, then Africa must want the same thing other people want. It does not want you to tell them, therefore. If Africans eat, drink and sleep, if Africans get sick, if Africans have to die, then they are the same kind of human beings as those who live in England, those who live in France or in Italy, and therefore the same thing any other man wants or needs is the same thing the African needs. (Applause.) It means this: that a Negro institution that has been started on white people's philanthropy must naturally be willing to be used by that same class of people to put over the program they have for ruling the world and the entire human race, and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association has tried to be an independent movement; that is why it is struggling to do everything for itself. Not that we could not have begged money from white people and sought charity from them; not that we could not impress the Carnegie Foundation or the Rockefeller Foundation of the righteousness of our cause for them to give us $5,000,000 or $10,000,000, but before we started the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and during the existence of the association, we fully realized that if you accept food from someone when he is ready for your services he is bound to answer, otherwise he will cut off that by which you are supported. In other words, if you have a fiddler to play and you are going to pay him he has to play the tune that you want. Does Not Accept Charity That is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association does not go out of its way to accept charity from anyone else. I have often good, of men is weaked man is a and is not not expert any) thing from men in this side of Jordan. Moh is as good today as he was two thousand years ago when he crucified his Christ he will county. Him now if He comes back here. In the place of Christian charity in the place of love, in the place of Christian fellowship man his past the dot of gold, for gold he will sell his soul, he will sell his brother, he will sell his wife for god he will sell out Jesus Him. Jesus Him for thirty pieces of a vir and today if Christ walked on the earth much of Judea would sill Him for much as that that. He would be sold for thirty price some Negroes would be willing to sell Him for so little. Man has not improved therefore you will not expect anything of him in this generation. Those movements that believe in the white man to do everything to help them are mustoken. Every charity bestowed upon us is taken care of. Joller every hundred dollars every dream given to us is paid. They have made our Negro institutions just for such purpos as Mr Motton is to be used at this hour.—so that when great questions come up affecting liberty and affecting your future, and if future is planned for you by the philanthropy of the race, they will call into action such men as they have subsidized to deceive you and to sidere track you from that which you desire Rockefeller, Carnegie and Rosen- wald—all these men who have given their thousands and millions to Negro institutions do you think they are crazy? Rockefeller the Jew, is one of the keenest business men in this country and in the world. Carnegie before he died, was one of the best business intellects of the world. All these men who contribute to institutions like Tuskegue are keen business men they will spend a dollar today to earn a thousand dollars fifty years from now Upon that is based their philanthropy, upon that is based their charity toward Negro institutions and Negro movements. What is happening now" Carnegie knew and Rosenwald knows and knew that Africa would be the land of the future that Africa would become the storehouse and granary of the world in the future, that Africa would in time be the source by which not only Europe but probably America would exist because of the wealth which Africa contains. The white man of this generation lives for the white man in all generations to come, therefore that which he cannot achieve himself he will labor for for succeeding generations of his own to enjoy. And tonight the generations of Negro yet unborn are crying out with a united voice for consolidation and for redemption to save them from the eternal exploitation that is forced upon them by the great capitalists of the world. Moton called to Scotland to tell Africa's needs, would be forced to speak in the interest of those who helped his institution—those who contributed to the upkeep of Tuckeye for the last ten or twenty years. He does not speak otherwise. They have influenced him to speak in the way they desire and in a short while they will publish in America—in the New York "World" or "Times"—what Mr Moton said, and thus create a sentiment among Negroes directing them in the direction they want them to go. That is the way they are going to whip you—by deceiving you and turning your mind in the direction they want you to go. If you have any judgment of your own—if you have any character of your own—it means that you will not fall into the trap that is laid for you by the same men who enslaved you for three hundred years and who intend to enslave you until eternity. Depending upon his philanthropy and leadership, you and I have no other future but that of perpetual slavery. Slavery has been in existence for thousands of years and slavery will be in existence until eternity. Slavery is inflicted upon a people not sufficiently strong to protect themselves. The world in which you live is organizing itself for the exploitation of other races that are not well organized and that are too weak to protect themselves. I give you a warning again. I feel sure there is no need to impress upon the minds of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the need of organization, because that has been our doctrine for the last four years. For those who are not member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we are emphasizing this: a dark day is before you except you prepare your- selves to fight the enemy who fights you not so much by yourself but fights you through our own race PROF. FERRIS SPEAK8 So William H. Ferris is the first speaker, and said I have been reading with a great deal of interest in community pro and can regarding the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and there is one thing that is colored people of this count might congratulate the Universal Negro Improvement Association for having paired with black men in the Imagery I remember six years ago last September when the A.M.L. Conference met in the Institutional Church in Chicago. If the ministers were complaining because they did not get a recognition in the press Bishop Warmer on another occasion said "The did not even recognize Bishop as a oathbearer but that is not true nowadays." Something Lacking The colored people of this country are in the position of the man who came to Christ seeking spiritual life. Christ told him to keep the commandments, and he said that all those he had kept from his youth up, and then Christ said to him "There is one thing thou lackest." The black people of this country feel they lack something. They used to sing at the revivals down South, 'My Soul Wants Something That Is New.' They had the churches. The first twenty years after his emancipation the Negro spent his time, as one writer says, praising God and thanking the Lord. The next twenty years he spent his time building churches and school houses. The churches have done a great deal of good, but the church has not kept pace with the development of modern sociological, economic and industrial problems. I have seen ministers planning and laying out from one to three hundred thousand dollars building churches, when it would be better to put half that money in the church and the other half into rooming houses and restaurants where strangers coming into the city could get board and lodging at reduced rates, and girls thus be kept away from the economic temptations of a large city. The preacher has preached every Sunday morning about Christ and him crucified and has made an impression, but has left the world the flesh and the devil for the young people the other six days. This is why the church has failed to grip the modern world Then we have the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This association, which was launched with the blowing of trumpets and which has protested and agitated, had no program to feed the black people of this country, no program to give opportunity for colored men and women to rise, and when the Universal Negro Improvement Association was started, that is why hundreds of thousands flocked to it in this country. That is why in several large cities it has an enrollment from two to five times as large as the biggest Negro church. It is because the black people of the world felt that the Universal Negro Improvement Association would open up opportunities. They saw certain limits to the activities of the church, certain limits to the activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other movements, but there was no limit to the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because, when you start out to develop a continent, to build up industries enterprises, There Is No Limit. But you will go on and on to the nth degree, as astronomers and mathematicians say. Some of us do not realize that we are living in a great age.

One was the rise of Christianity, the other was the period several centuries later which was inherited by the discovery of America and the other was the period unaltered in the American revolution and the French revolution. In this shaking up the other was a readjustment by which certain races went to the top and others went to the bottom to contain social groups went to the top and others went to the bottom to shake up. Now we are in the fourth resulting period. Because of the world war many monarchies and empires became republics and democracies, so that the role of the people will be heard throughout the world. Then again, as a result of the world war we saw the rise and emergence of the darker races of the world. The dominant race has been always interested in the darker races interested in them as a sort of adult children. They have been called inferior races, they have been called backward races, and the so-called superior races have been talking about bestowing the blessing of their civilization on the darker races. But not until the world war were the darker races regarded as a real factor in modern civilization and culture. The very fact that black men from Senegal and Senegambia helped to save the flag of civilization in the greatest known to his is taught the entire world the power of the Negro and Indian war force. Negro an Intellectual Competitor Then the first of Rene Maron the rase of Bellagard of Hoyt's taught the white world that the Negro is rapidly becoming an intellectual competitor and that is a problem which the bellagard's have to solve. can we advance the black man and at the same time keep him in his place? The Place for the Black Man The problem is this—what is the place for the black man? Down South they have a place assigned to him. You see everywhere 'white and colored', they believe as part of their religion, that God estimates a race by the color of its skin that He determines superiority by the color of the skin and because the Negro has a dark skin he is inferior to the other races of mankind. That is not aristocracy, that is not democracy, it is whiteocracy. But it seems to me that is a swim work of the generation of the South that is passing away What the U. N. I. A. Has Taught The black man is not only coming, but he has arrived, he has taught the world that not only has a dark skin all of the intellectual and moral and physical possibilities and potentialities which lurk under the skins of other men, but that some of those possibilities have been realised, and no force has done more to cause the white world to take the black world seriously than the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which was founded by the Henri Marcus Garvey (Applause.)

"We shall elect our Negro board of directors to cooperate with us at once after our formal opening. The better and more prosperous class among the colored race in New York have long wanted such a bank, but they were anxious to have it founded and backed primarily by white financiers to give it a solid standing and full confidence, but with Negro representation on the board of directors. We decided, therefore, to have a Negro board to work with us. Full Recognition Planned "Our innovation in having a Negro board of directors is an outstanding feature in present-day American banking. As a large number of our clients will be Negroes who are successful in business and the profession, it is only proper that they should have full recognition in managing the affairs of the bank. We are firm believers in the economic development of the African element in our population, among whom are numbered in New York some very superior and splendid people. There are many very well educated and wealthy Negro families in Harlem who are public-spirited and anxious to advance the general welfare of their race. "In the new Harlem bank we will have, besides the white and Negro boards of directors, an honorary board and a committee of trustees. We will take special pains in handling legacies that have been bequeathed to Negroes by white people, passing on the legality of these funds and administering the benefactions of such philanthropists." There are many Negro landlords, lawyers, shopkeepers and business men in all lines in upper Manhattan who have amassed comfortable fortunes of from $50,000 to $500,000 who are expected to be patrons of the bank, and there are even two or three reputed millionaires. The bank is expected to obtain the handling of trust and endowment funds from many Negro colleges and other institutions throughout the United States. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922 "THE PENITENT" SHOWS ALEXANDER PUSHKIN, RUSSIA'S GREAT NEGRO POET, WAS INFLUENCED BY SHELLEY VIRGIN ISLAND ART THE PENITENT, by Edna Worthley Underwood, Houghton Mifflin Co. At Young's Book Exchange, 136 West 135th street, New York City Undoubtedly the French Revolution, as all Guizotians know was the greatest blow ever struck or the spiritual emancipation of mankind. It liberated thought, it shaped the destiny of that mushroom nation springing up on the shores of North America. It opened up unthought-of avenues of freedom. It illustrated the wrongness of autocracy and the barbarity of kingly rule. Over on the vast bosom of Russia, what were its effects? We on this side of the Atlantic, a hemmed-in lot of crudely, childishly put-together democrats, as one speaks of it, conjure up at once a scarlet vision of hunger and bolshevism and snow-awept wastes at the mercy of the Four Horsemen Still, there are a few of us who dig at the bottom and unearth the facts of this most tragic era as they relate to the Russian people. In the book it is my distinguished pleasure to review. Mrs. Underwood throws a shaft of light on a bundle of things of interest to us. Negroes as a race, and from the point of view of general culture. One of the vital things she brings to light is the racial identity of Alexander Pushkin, the celebrated Negro poet of Russia. Since I have had this book I have talked to no less than half a dozen white persons who I was made to understand knew something about the origin of books and their makers, and I was astounded to discover that not one of them knew, or was willing to acknowledge, that Pushkin was a Negro. "Yes, I've read Pushkin but I didn't know he was a Negro." Anyway it is here, once for all, between the covers of a book that is written by a woman who is not only a poet and novelist of classic charm but a translator and literary critic of international distinction. I remember, long before I met the author of "The Penitent," I came across a tiny violet-covered volume of "Balkan Short Stories" translated by her, and I was at once struck with the beauty and passionate feeling of the stories in it. I concluded at once that this is the sort of writing that is not done in America Here. I said, is the sort of colorful romantic literature that only finds a vee valf echo in the work of Mr Joseph Hergesheimer. Blase as I unconsciously was, I probably expected too much. It was the sort of writing that Lafcadio Hearn and W. H. Hudson, two of the world's greatest stylists, did at their best. And this was the sort of work Mrs. Underwood was bringing to our bourgeois tastes. Marie Antonova With the same diligence and painstaking adherence to historical truth that has characterized her other work—she is the author of a half dozen novels and the translator of several volumes of European literature—Mrs. Underwood has ransacked the libraries of Europe to get at the bottom of Alexander the First's tragic downfall and of the dramatic life of the Negro Pushkin. Even today there is not even in Russia an acknowledged "life" of the poet. And so in this book, a book throbbing with a mixture, a union of historical accuracy and creative lifekeness, her findings are vividly set forth. One is obliged to admire the mobility of character, the goodness, the honesty, the high ideals, the unstudied sophistication of Alexander I, Czar of Russia, and the penitent, to curl one a lips contemptuously at the low, base, vile, sexual looseness and brazen effrontery of his wife, Marie Antonova. Oh, she will live as one of the really vile women in literature. She is pretty and graceful; her blood is warm and southernly. Like the South, she is rosy, and red-lipped, and syphilitic. And a monarch's wife. Her daughter is a calm, wide-eyed, naively sensitive girl who is her father's only pet, and who is unfeelingly murdered by her mother when that tricky lady charmingly tells her—this is after Alexander has found her out—that if she wants to live and live right, she must do the same thing that she, her mother, had to do, to get her! It killed the girl. It turned Alexander's heart to granite. It aged him. It opened his eyes to the corruption of the worldly court life around him. It sent him into voluntary exile. It removed a liberal from Russia's throne and postponed a protestarian revolution for, as we know today, a little time. Marie Antonova did all that. A Negro's Reactions As a Negro I am more interested in Pushkin's adventures than I am in the neurotic court life Mra. Underwood so picturesquely describes. In every sense of the word, Pushkin, temperamentally and otherwise, is a poet, and lives the romantic life of one. He is represented as a mulatto; is young vain, self-willed, handsome, boyish, lovable; he is Alexander's favorite. Society ladies read in their fragrant boudoirs his delicate love sonnets and dream over them. He is something of a lady idol. He, on the other hand, hobnobs with the radicals and young intellectuals and allows himself to be drawn into a revolutionary plot. Just here, it seems to me, the author shows remarkable insight into the character of the poet Pushkin. Although he is not in any sense a revolutionist, Pushkin neverless says things that, twisted and garbled, may be interpreted as anarhistic. Charged with a crime of which he is innocent, he does not protest. He takes it philosophically. He does not resist, does not try to escape or have his wrongs righted. Probably he knew the futility of this; anyway, he goes along. He looks upon it as an experience to be exploited poetically. It was the same as if he was being hustled off to college or on a long traveling tour. He is banished to Bessarahia. Oh the way he sketches outlines of the gay hills of Kisheney. He gets ideas and local THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FIGHTING FOR EQUALITY EDNA WORTHLEY UNDERWOOD color for stories and poems. He meets strange people on the road. He meets a gypsy caravan. There is a bewitching girl. Sari a wistful daughter of the night, who, like the heroes of homeland Beroovin, is a stream-faced Jezebel. On the wayside are a cafe and sparkling wine and more women pretty and voluptuous and hot flaming nights. His African temperament is brought out. Study of Negro life and history has well equipped the author for this. Her strokes are sure and realistic. Sari's father is dark and something of a philosopher. To him Alexis Sergiewitch is a son and he talks fatherly to him. This is something that, in his life of menger wants, Pushkin has never had. His father is a burdulous bourgeois, who hits his son and flings in his face the epithet, "Negro Antichrist, Antichrist." Influenced by Shelley On and on, at the caprice of his tormentors at Moscow, the poet is sent, and on one of his peregrinating exiles he made the acquaintance of Shelley and Byron. Oh, what a world Shelley opened up to his fertile imagination' This, of course is anarchistic it angers the Moscow censors of thought Shelley, an atheist, the consort of the irresponsible Pushkin' Unthinkable! On to Odessa he is sent. On, and on, through the lovely country, to where the Ark anchored to the beginning of cosmos, and looked down on two continents. Here he meets Chall, Metternich's charming mistress-apy. And Countess Woronzow, wife of the man who is spurring Alexander on to persecute him, and keep him harmless. . . Get It, at Any Cost I must stop. Try as I might I can not convey the impression one gets on reading such a wonderful book as this. It is throbbing with life and color and feeling. It is a literary masterpiece. It is the work of a woman who looks at things calmly, unemotionally. It is a book that colored people especially must read. It is the first noted work that has appeared anywhere on the noble life and character of that distinguished Negro poet and novelist, Alexander Pushkin. Moreover, it is the first of a trilogy that is crying out for impersonal justice, for a civilization that is going to guarantee to every human being "respective of color or race" a share in the good things of the world. It is a book worth having. Get it. That is all I can say. HAMPTON, Va., Oct 16—Dr James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, states that the Jeanes fund, which was created for the improvement of Negro rural schools, co-operated during the school session ending June 30, 1022, with public school superintendents in 273 counties in 18 States. Dr. Dillard reports that this Negro rural school improvement work was taken over by the State in four counties. Dr. Dillard adds: "The 275 supervising teachera, paid partly by the counties and partly through the Jeanes fund, visited regularly in these counties 7,850 country schools, making in all 32,921 visits, and raising for the purpose of school improvement 8428,528.39. "The total amount of salary paid to the supervising teachers was $207., 287.75, of which the sum of $114,521.81 was paid by the public school authorities and $92,766 24 through the Jeanes fund. "The business of these traveling teachers, working under the direction of the county superintendents, is 'o help and encourage the rural teachers; to introduce into the small country schools simple home industries; to give talks and lessons on sanit iom, cleanliness, etc.; to promote the improvement of school houses and school grounds, and to organise clubs for the betterment of the school and neighborhood." EX-CHAMPION FINED: SPEEDER Jack Johnson, the pugwist, was before Magistrate House in Traffic Court, New York City, charged with driving his automobile at thirty miles an hour in St. Nicholas avenue. He said it was the first time he had been summoned for violating the speed laws and paid a fine of $13. "More Capital, Better Farming and Thrift Education Are Needed," Says Frederick MacFarlane (Special to The Negro World) HAMPTON Va. Oct 15—Natives of the Virgin Islands, which were acquired by the United States from Denmark in 1817 through purchase after many years of futile negotiation, are suffering from dire poverty on account of the rapid removal of Danish capital, the heavy inroads of the cotton bollweevil and the wasteful mining' of the soil by extensive and persistent cultivation of sugar cane, says Frederick MacFarlane a native of St Crox and former instructor in history at the junior-senior high school of St Thomas who spoke recently in Ogden Hall' Hampton Institute, on The History and Economic Conditions of the Virgin Islands Professor MacFarlane has spent the past twelve years in the Virgin Islands. Previously he devoted three years to study in Denmark where he prepared himself to become a translator in the Danish language. Recently he brought to Hampton Institute three promising high school boys from the Virgin Islands. These boys will be educated at Hampton Institute out of funds which will be raised in the Virgin Islands and among Virgin Islanders living in New York and other large cities. Some of Professor MacFarlane's observations on the Virgin Islands may be summarized as follows: "The Orphan Islands" The Orphan Islands Little is known about the Virgin Islands, which were under the control of Denmark for 250 years. The Virgin Islands might be called orphan islands since no one bureau of the United States Government cares to assume responsibility for them. The Virgin Islands include about 124 square miles. St. Croix (bought by Denmark from France in 1733) 80 square miles. St. Thomas (taken by Denmark in 1671) and St John (taken by Denmark in 1683), 44 square miles. In 1848 Negro slaves, was abolished dramatically in the Virgin Islands. The governor-general, named von Scholten on July 2, 1848, acting on his own responsibility, excluded the slaves free and the emancipation proclamation on July 4. In September, 1845, this act of the governor-general was confirmed by the King of Denmark. In 1841 the Danish government started schools for the children of Negro slaves in the Virgin Islands. Low Wages Bring Suffering In the last days of the Danish administration, full-grown men received 25 cents per day for their labor. In 1915 a labor union was organized and in 1916 a six-week strike brought the daily wage of the laborer to 40 cents. Then the World War carried the daily wage to 96 cents. Now the daily wage ADVERTISEMENT FOR CONGRESS THE NEW YORK TIMES VOTE FOR ROYAL H. WELLER of the laboring man has dropped to 40 cents and the laboring man can secure only two days of labor each week. Handisapped by Traditions The Virgin Islands lie eighty miles east of Porto Rico and eighteen degrees north of the equator. The people on these islands are handicapped by their devotion to conventions and traditions, especially in the matter of farming. The people of the Virgin Islands want the type of education for which Hampton Institute stands—a type which will teach men, women and children the principles of thrift and sound reasoning. EIGHT BIG VAUDEVILLE ACTS TO BE PRE- SENTED NEXT WEEK Dow Presentations Failed to Draw and Changes Will Give Managers Time to Secure Other Attractions For the coming week the Coleman brothers have decided to put in a big vaudeville bill at the Lafayette Theatre which will include some of the best colored acts to be secured. In all there will be eight acts, among the number being one of the sensational variety, which will without doubt be the talk of the neighborhood during the time it is at this theatre. Although Al Dow had great hopes of putting on something along musical comedy lines that would be the means of keeping the Lafayette comfortably filled, his attempt has proved abortive and, if the truth must be 'old', the Coleman brothers without going one block out of their way could have assembled the same performers to do the same thing that was presented under Al Dowlan uspices. When Mr Dow fired his first gun to attract the attention of amusement followers, he announced that no less a person than his relation, Mr. Weber of Weber and Fields, would come to Harlem to help him stage the new things he had to offer. But Dowie! Under a new name Lafayette patrons were given a rebush of "old stuff," and while the genial Coleman boys can and will smile under the most trying conditions, they decided to call it quits and attempt something nearer to what the people want than what has been offered during the past two weeks.

MATHEMATICS AND POLITICS Thursday night an unusually large crowd gathered at City Hall for the purpose of hearing the Negro. His Garvey and other speakers discuss Socialism on the street corners and in barber shops. Socialists love the Negro more than the Democrat do and as to whether the Republicans love the Democrats do or as to whether the Democrats do, etc. I believe that all of these colored gentlemen various political parties for the black breed imagine that they are in heaven or that the Negro is not in the same category as a dog or bird. Some men like dogs and other men like horses and other men love horses. We has pets to cats. Other women prefer cats still other women prefer the canary bird as to either dog or cat. Now the difference of real excellence of a particular horse, dog, or the attitude of the particular man or woman is a whole. It is not the case with the Negro, because he has the last analysis he is estimated in poli-statized for the water they draw. Socially differences, but politically he has no personal parties are organized for the purpose of social, industrial and economic program. We which a party rides into municipal, State and an individual is estimated by the number mobilize or control.

Hence he could sway politically more than any other man of color in Chicago than with the five colored politicians, who per cent. of the vote in the black belt. that he dominated and the political group between them controlled more than 50 per- vote. He also was positive in his conviction societies were the recipients of special fav- deration. LAST Thursday night an unusually large crowd assembled in Liberty Hall for the purpose of hearing the Rt. Honorable Marcus Garvey and other speakers discuss Socialism. Discussion has arisen on the street corners and in barber shops as to whether the Socialists love the Negro more than the Democrats and Republicans do and as to whether the Republicans love the Negro more than the Democrats do or as to whether the Democrats love the Negro more than the Republicans do, etc. Now we believe that all of these colored gentlemen who discuss the love of various political parties for the black brother are far afield. They imagine that they are in heaven or that the millennium has arrived. The Negro is not in the same category as a dog or horse or cat or canary bird. Some men like dogs and other men dislike dogs. Some men like horses and other men love horses. Some women prefer dogs as pets to cats. Other women prefer cats as pets to dogs. And still other women prefer the canary bird as a household companion to either dog or cat. Now the difference does not arise in the special excellence of a particular horse, dog, cat or canary bird, but in the attitude of the particular man or woman towards the species as a whole. But such is not the case with the Negro, because he is a human being, and in the last analysis he is estimated in politics as other men are estimated for the water they draw. Socially a man has personal preferences, but politically he has no personal preferences Political parties are organized for the purpose of putting over a certain social, industrial and economic program. Votes are the medium by which a party rides into municipal, State or national control. And an individual is estimated by the number of votes that he can mobilize or control. If a hundred thousand votes are cast in a municipal or congressional election and a particular man or club can corral ten thousand of those votes, that particular man or club will be rated higher politically and be given more political consideration than the man or club who can only corral one thousand votes. Once upon a time, in a certain New England town, a college professor butted into local politics. He had won international renown as a mathematician and astronomer. He was a devout Christian and a man of high character. He could trace his ancestry back to those who came over in the Mayflower. He had brains, character and ancestry. If a visitor from the planet Mars should come to that town and say, "I want to see one of earth's noblemen, one of your finest representatives," this professor, with his high forehead, firm mouth, benign countenance and gracious manners, would be trotted out. But, unfortunately, this professor could not dominate the particular ward in which he lived, nor could he make heavy campaign contributions, and while his intellectual, moral and social influence was great in that community, his political influence was a negligible quantity because he could not directly mobilize many votes or indirectly influence many votes. That is politics, pure and simple. So in politics it is merely a question of mathematics, merely a question of percentage. When an individual or organization comes before the powers behind the throne for recognition, consideration or favors, the thing that is principally considered is what per cent. of the total congressional, city or State vote can that individual or organization mobilize? If he or it can mobilize 10 per cent., they will receive much greater concessions than the individual or organization that can only mobilize $ \frac{1}{4} $ of 1 per cent. When we resided in Chicago, Ill., five or six years ago, the superstitious ones claimed that Rev. A. J. Carey, then pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. Church, now Bishop A. J. Carey, possessed a "Rabbit Foot." Prof. John R. Hawkins, the financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, called him "A Master in Israel in Politics" because he had such pull with the mayor, the Governor and the city and state bosses. What was the secret of his power? The Chicago Negro Baptists were divided into two rival organizations, the A. M. E. churches of Chicago and vicinity were organized into one ecclesiastical organization and Dr. Carey was the power behind the throne in that organization. Hence he could sway politically more ministers and churches than any other man of color in Chicago. Then he formed an alliance with the five colored politicians, who had mobilized nearly 50 per cent. of the vote in the black belt. The ecclesiastical group that he dominated and the political group of which he was a leader between them controlled more than 50 per cent. of the total colored vote.

Murphy of New York City had no political organization behind him, and if William Randolph Hearst only edited a small country sheet, no one would care much what they thought or said. But Mr. Henry Ford is a multi-millionaire and much of his wealth is in ready cash, Mr. Charles I. Murphy is the big chief in Tammany Hall and represents hundreds of thousands of votes in the Empire State. William Randolph Hearst edits a chain of widely-read newspapers in six great American cities and counts his readers by the millions. The wealth of one, the votes of another and the newspapers of another will be an asset to any cause. Hence these men cannot be lightly passed by, but must be reckoned with. This is the way of the world, and it will be well for black men to take note and act accordingly. The men of color who have commanded the attention of the world during the past one hundred and twenty two years such as Foussaint L'Ouverture, Alexander Dumas Pere, Frederick Douglass, Booker I. Washington and I Imperor Menelek, have been men who could mobilize and marshal men, dollars, written words and spoken words into formidable masses which could not only attract attention but also produce tangible results. Marcus Garvey belongs to the same category. Mass formations, whether in football, politics, religion, industry finance and war, are the things that impress the world today. Momentum is the product of mass multiplied by $x$. WHAT IS A MIRACLE? THE fact that the members of the U.N.I. are deeply religious is evidenced by their intense interest in the editorial which appeared in The Negro Daily Times and The Negro World, entitled "Has the Age of Miracles Passed?" Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, the editorial writer for The Negro Daily Times, under the heading, "What Is a Miracle?" restates his position very effectively. He says, "The only difference in the physical creations produced by the spiritual power of man and the creations of the Creator Himself is simply this, that in the beginning the position is that out of nothing God creates everything that is, and that man creates all the physical wonders we have enumerated out of matter which he did not create. That is to say God create everything out of nothing an man creates what he does create out of something created by God in the beginning. In discussing this matter our main object is to show that there is nothing impossible with man in creating out of the material which he finds everywhere anything which may be of service to mankind, are much that is positively not of service." We will say that we agree in toto with the idealistic and practical philosophy of Editor Fortune, who has a keen, analytical mind and a penetrating insight. But we only demurred at his interpretation of the term "miracle." We do not think that "wonders" and "miracles" are synonymous terms Sir John E. Bruce, the Duke of Uganda and the contributing editor of The Negro World, attempts to harmonize the positions of the literary editor of The Negro World and the editorial writer of The Negro Daily Times by saying "A miracle is nature misunderstood." Some of the miracles reported in the Old and New Testaments were, as Sir John said, not real miracles, but nature misunderstood. But other miracles reported in the Old and New Testaments the Immaculate Conception and the Resurrection of Christ, are removed from the category of nature misunderstood. They represent direct action by Deity Himself overruling and transcending the laws of nature which He Himself created. Thus we know the characteristic of flesh and of fire. Put a man of flesh and blood into a furnace hot enough to heat water to the boiling point and throw off steam, close the doors and open them in an hour or so and you will find a mass of charred bones. To remain in there unscathed and unscorched as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did indicates that some force or power superior to that of fire intervened and neutralized their natural manifestations. If Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did go into the fiery furnace and come out unhurt and unharmed, that was a miracle and nothing more. So, too, with the Resurrection of Christ, the supreme miracle of the Bible. If His supposed death was only suspended animation and if He only appeared to His desciples after His resurrection as a spiritual apparition to their minds and imaginations there was no miracle there. But if Christ died a natural body, as we all sometime will die, if His brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys absolutely ceased to function, if His blood ceased to circulate, if His physical body began to decay, if He actually died in the flesh as we all sometime must die, the spirit again reanimated the body on the third day, if the doors of the tomb swung asunder by some mysterious, unseen and invisible force and if He walked in the flesh again and was recognized by His friends, that would be nothing else but a miracle, the Almighty taking a hand Himself and stopping and reversing the natural processes of dissolution As to whether the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent Deity would interfere with the laws and forces and processes of nature can be left to philosophers and theologians. But what we desire to reiterate is this: Poetically we can refer to an act of man as miraculous or as a miracle, but scientifically and technically it can only be referred to the direct action of Deity compelling the elements and forces of nature to obey His august will, moving them as a chess player moves his kings, queens and pawns. We are, however, in exact accord with Editor Fortune regarding the creative activities and possibilities of man, who was created in the divine image and is a God in miniature, and especially the creative activities and possibilities of black men. THE SITUATION IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS ELSEWHERE in this issue The Negro World prints a news dispatch from Hampton, Va., of a lecture delivered by Frede- erick McFarlane on the social and economic conditions in the Virgin Islands. It means that the Virgin Islands question has become national, if not international. This is due primarily to the efforts and foresight of The Negro World Early in the spring of this year it began a series of articles by Mr. Casper Holstein upbraiding the naval administration for its outrageous treatment of the Negro islanders. Soon the dust-trailing elements of the Negro press took it up and made capital out of it. Then Mr. Villard's "Nation" followed, and the American Civil Liberties Union. Washington's attention was drawn, and, due to the consistent efforts of Virgin Islanders in the United States and the ever watchfulness of The Negro World, Admiral Kittelle, Governor of the islands, was recalled by Secretary Denby. But the work is not yet finished. Rev. R. G Barrow, a West Indian pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in St Croix, has been deported on a trumped up charge of "sedition." It, as expressed by the officials at Washington, is a highhanded piece of injustice. Without even the formality of a trial, a minister of the gospel, who has had the temerity to voice his sentiments on a situation that is quite intolerable to one with an ounce of fairmindedness, has been packed off and exodussed. This and other evils, social, racial and economic, are yet to be counteracted. The terror-like shadow of crackerist rule still hangs menacingly over the isles POUSHKIN AND DUMAS of us are prone to the Poushikin and Dumas perse white men.

Still, if son Poutter mold had written "Un white man could be today. OMI of us are prone to look upon writers like Poushikin and Dumas pere as not Negroes, but Africanized white men. This is a ridiculous fallacy. Dumas was a boy touring the French revolution. He, during the height of his career, lived in an age of political reconstruction in France. In England at the same time Sir Walter Scott was "breathing the breath of life" into the old medieval characters of Scottish history. In France Dumas pere, whose father was a famous general in Napoleon's army, was resurrecting and putting fantastic touches to the characters of French history. Essentially a Frenchman, Dumas was quite ignorant of such a white elephant as the race question. Even today there are mulatto poets and novelists in Cuba and Latin America who very properly ignore the Negro problem. In some of his exquisite folk tales Poushikin introduces Negro characters, as in "Peter the Great's Negro," for example. But in his best work, "Boris Godunoff," we do not recall having seen anything about the Negro. At a time when so much is being said about Negro fiction it is well to note that fiction—that is, good fiction—must steer clear of propaganda. In his preface to "Batouala," Rene Maran speaks of the utter objectivity of his book, and also of a forthcoming work which he is at present engaged on and which will be entirely subjective. In other words, if he had tried to overwhelm the world with his ideas on the brutality of French rule in Equatorial Africa, there would have been no "Batouala." Still, if a Negro—paraphrasing Allen Wilson Futtertold, had written "Uncle Tom's Cabin," there is no telling what he would be today. RACE CO-OPERATION elaborate article by a South operation."

NEW ASSISTANT CORPORATION COUNSEL THI Democratic of New York County continue to show that they appreciate the votes of their Negro partisans not so much with lip service, which is a weakness of New York Republicans, but with substantial service. The latest instance we have of their interest in this matter is the appointment of Mr. James Watson to be an assistant to Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien at a salary of $3,500 per annum.

He made himself one of the world's great tragedians because he tended upward in the night. He was born in Bellehire in the State of Maryland early in the eighteenth century and started out in life as the valet of the great Edwin Forrest who in his day was regarded as one of America's leading tragedians. He accompanied Forrest on one of his tours to England and while there, made during his leisure hours an intensive study of the Shakopeean dramas and tragedies. In saying this I mean to imply that he put his soul, his whole being, into the characters, which he afterward so successfully portrayed, so skillfully delineated when he appeared before critical and exacting audiences in the great capitals of Europe, where he was honored and idolized for his transcendent genius as an interpreter of the Shakopeean drama. Aldridge was so realistic, so true, and so much in harmony with what must have been the thought of Shakespeare that whenever he appeared he carried his audiences by storm, he because he spoke the speech "trippingly on the tongue." I am going to let my old friend, Wm Wells Brown, who saw and heard him in England in the 60's, tell my readers about this wonderful Negro tragedian's interpretation of "Othello," as given at the Royal (Haymarket) Theatre, in London. He says: "Though the doors had been open but a short time, when I reached the theatre, the house was soon filled, and among the audience I noticed Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the renowned novelist, his figure neat, trim; hair done up in the latest fashion, looking as if he had just come out of a band-box. As the time approached for the curtain to rise it was evident that the house was to be jammed. Stuart, the best "lago" since the days of Young, in company with "Roderigo," came upon the stage as soon as the green curtain went up. "lago" looked the villain and acted it to the highest conception of the character.

Dumas was a boy, little, during the height of his career, in construction in France. In England it was "breathing the 'breath of life'" of Scottish history.

As lago began to work upon his feelings the Moor's eyes flashed fire, and, further on in the play he looked the very demon of despair. When he seized the deceiver by the throat and exclaimed, Vilain" Be sure thou prove my love false" Be sure of it" Give me the ocular proof or by the worth of my eternal soul thou hadst better have been born a dog, lago, than answer my waked wrath The audience with one impulse rose to its feet amid the wildest enthusiasm. At the end of the third act "Othello" was called before the curtain and received the apology of the delighted multitude I watched the countenance and every motion of Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton with a most as much interest as I did that of the Moor, and I saw that none appeared better pleased than he. The following evening I went to witness his 'Hamlet' and was surprised to find him as perfect in that as he had been in 'Othello.' for I had been led to believe that the latter was his greatest character. The whole court of Denmark was before us, but 'till the words: "Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother." fall from the lips of Mr. Aldridge, was the general ear charmed or the general tongue arrested. The voice was so low and sad and sweet, the modulation so tender, the dignity so natural, the grace so consummate, that all yielded themselves silently to the delicious enchantment. When "Horatio" told him that he had come to see his father's funeral, the deep melancholy that took possession of his face showed the great dramatic power of Mr. Aldridge. "I pray thee, do not mock me, fellow student," seemed to come from his innest soul. The animation with which his countenance was lighted during 'Horatio''s recital of the visits that the ghosts had paid him and his companions was beyond description. "Angels and ministers of Grace defend us." As the ghost appeared in the fourth scene it sent a thrill through the whole assembly. Mr Aldridge's rendering of the "soiloguy on death," from which Edmund Kean, Charles Kemble, William Macready have reaped such unfading laurels, was one of his best efforts. He read it infinitely better than Kean, whom I heard at the Princess but a few nights previously. The vigorous start of thoughts which in the midst of his personal sorrows rise with such beautiful and striking suddenness from the over wakeful mind of the humanitarian philosopher are delivered with that varying emphasis that characterizes the truthful delineator when he ex- HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW OF NEGRO LIFE AND HISTORY? By J. A. ROGERS In order to stimulate the study of Negro life and history The Negro World will give each week six questions on the Negro. These questions, which will be put by J A Rogers, author of "From Superman to Man" and As Nature Leads, and will cover a field of wide and varied information. They will include anthropology, sociology, folklore history, psychology and ethnology as far as they relate to the race. After you have answered the questions, cut them out and paste them in a scrapbook The answers will be given the following week, and you can then check up with your own. In this way readers will be able to acquire a scrapbook of ready and useful information. 1 What are the names of the two African tribes who are the tallest and the smallest, respectively, people in the world? 2 What fact was brought out in the report of the draft for the last war as regards soundness of feet among white Americans and black ones? 3 Which has the better eyesight—the African Negro or the American one? 4 What African tribe is said to possess a better physical development than any other people in the world? 5 Which race has the better teeth Negro and Caucasian, and why? 6 If, as science and the Bible say, all human beings sprang from the same stock how do you account for the great difference between the color and hair of the Negro and the Caucasian? 7.

This most excellent concep t theatrical by a overcharging firmament, this majestical good, felt with golden fire - what a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! In the last scene of the second act when Hamlet's imagination, influence, by the interview with the actors, suggests to his rich mind so many eloquent reflections. M. Aldridge enters fully into the spirit of the scene, warm up and when he exclaims: "I would drown the stage with tears and cleave the general ear with horrid speeches, make mad the guilty and appall the free," he is very effective, and when his warmth mounts into a paroxysm and he calls the king "Bloody, bawdy villain." Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!" he sweeps the audience with him. I thought "Hamlet" one of his best characters, though I saw him afterwards in several others. I have here given the reader a tolerably fair idea of the great Ira Aldridge by a man who knew him, saw him act and admired him, a man who was fully competent to appraise him at his true worth.

THE DARKER RACES OF THE WORLD COMING BACK TO THE FRONT The White World Startled at Rapid Rise of Non-Whites —Hereditary Evolution Expressing Itself Before the coming of the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the philosophy of confidence, race pride and Negro culture, there were many Negroes who thought that the Negro had always been a subservient, subject and inferior race of people and always would be. There was nothing more false. Many centuries ago the ancient Kingdom of Ethiopia was the pride of the world, in progress, wealth and culture, and its swarthy population was studying the arts and sciences, when the ancestors of those alien peoples who now live on the soil where classic Oxford Cambridge and Harvard stand were beating it through the bushes with hairy forms and clubs in their hands. It is the pride of every school boy and girl of the race who has learned that the Ethiopian was once a great and powerful people and it is also used for them to think that the posterior of this great people have been scattered to the four corners of the earth because of reverses that rendered them unable to protect themselves. With races and nations it is much like the old song that says "You are up to day and down tomorrow." Races and nations go down and come up again. We know the history of the all of cartage Rome Germany, Russia and other powerful nations, and Ethiopia had her fall but hidden away in the brain of Hippopotamus posterior according to biological science, is the power that will soon day bring back to this people the genius of ancient Ethiopia and of this law, now being expressively (not literally) and emphatically through Manus carvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association and many other sources. te World Alarmed Over the Progr ress of the Darker Races of the World The white world through its newspapers edited by writers and journalists is doing much speculative discussion on the coming the front of the darker races of the world. There is no question but that the future belongs to the darker races. The white man has been tried and found guilty, and he has served his justice now give way to a more just power and an irresistible power. You will remember two six years when Italy with her great Italian airy thought the would mate arms to our own Abyssinia, the renown of an Ethiopia. You will recall what white world was started when Abyssinia gave Italy one of the finest territories, but she had ever received. This was a great lesson to the onlooking world just what the millions of Africans could do to her thoroughly enraged people. Seventeen years ago, in the white nation we drew up for the military strength and power of the little brown men of Japan when Russia took the count of Port Arthur. You will realize that in the lapse of ten years two white nations—Italy and Russia—left the victims of darker races who outwitted them in military skill, strategy and valor. You will also notice that the sign of the times shows us Egypt winning her independence, and a new flag—the three crescents with a white star in each crescent—waving the ory of self-determination for this people. You will now turn your eyes toward the Indian Empire, where reposes in jail, Mahatma Ghandi, the leader of the non-cooperationist movement in India, which the force and vigor of this agitation made Great Britain tremble, though Ghandi lies in jail, and ideas and the spirit of freedom are things that will not stay locked up, the world will yet hear from Ghandi and the nationals of India. At Nairobi, British East Africa, the little province that lies just south of Bayshina, fifteen persons were killed after the arrest of an Indian agitator who was teaching natives to throw off the yoke of tyranny and alien domination. Native Africans paraded the streets with the spirit of Hannibal, and the European population was thrown in terror, showing conclusively that the whole Negro world is on fire with the spirit of freedom and self-determination. Then too, we have but to recall the acomplishment of Rene Maran, the African author of "Batouala," who was crowned with the Prix Concourt and who has given this race one of the greatest intellectual achievements we have ever enjoyed. A short while ago the world was introduced to another great hero of the darker races, one Butting Sikt the fighting Senegal boy who held the idol of France. Carpentier, low by his superior mental and physical science of the manly art of self-defence, and the black boy of Africa has been given great ovations wherever he has gone. Last but not least is the great Marcus Garvey, the genius and illustrator of four hundred million Negroes and the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, the greatest and most powerful organization ever known among Negroes. When you summarize the great achievements and accomplishments of the darker people of the world in their upward climb you do not wonder that you hear so much from the thinkers of the white world about the rising tide of color. It does look as though, if there is not some change made that tends to relieve injustice and oppression that those people have suffered for the past three hundred years, it will soon be a restless world for us all. The rising tide of color is very much pronounced and the signs of the times are in the black man's favor. THE MINING ENGINEER JOHN HAYS HAMMOND Noted Diplomat and Engineer The engineer plays a great part in the general progress of civilization. In his quest for the metas, the mining engineer is the pioneer. He is followed closely by the civil engineer, the mechanical engineer and the electrical engineer, each of whom contributes a unique service in developing the natu- ral resources of the world and in laying out and building up those great industries in which both Capital and Labor find their employment. Like the engineer, the trained business man is particularly fitted to solve political problems. The large majority of po- litical questions, domestic and foreign, deal with business, while from the very nature of his daily work the business man, like the statesman, is in contact with his fellow men.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922 PROBLEMS OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY OR AMERICAN POLITICS In my senior year of high school, it is a privilege to say that I am being benefited greatly in studying "Problems of American Democracy," or American politics. It is giving me, or rather teaching me, how a good government is formed and how to form a good government. As we all know that the reason the Roman law and government hold good even until today is because it is founded on justice. Fortunately or unfortunately of the seventeen in my class, I, the only one of African stock there were only two who had the ambition to take this subject, perhaps we will not call it a subject for it was not required, only those who wish to study it. However Miss Nystrun my best school friend who is of Swedish descent, decided to take up this subject and find out what it treats of "Of course, I had to take it to make myself able to cope with the calls of the world, especially the calling of the U N I A, so that in coming years I may be able to give some advice or help give good advice to the former of the African government, which now is in its embryo. I have put my soul in this particular subject, for I intend that when the time comes, if ever, that women can run in the field for governesses and senators, I will be able to fill one of the positions (hidden satire) In Chapter X of the book which writes my heart is The American Race Problem." It deals with the present conditions of this Negro race of ours, and during the days of slavery. It quotes thus "The Negroes ignorance and superstition are proverbial while his uncleintines exact a terrible toll." Well, of all, who is any more unclean than these Italian who come from the island of Sicily, and some of the other foreigners, may the master bless and help us all. Of course they are of the white race, and the worst things that the white man can say of the Negro, it seems that he delights in it. Then in the topic of the solution it states that the only present solution is "the separate, but friendly co-existence of the two races. Liberia was founded for freed slaves of America, but it cannot be called successful, and the precedent will likely not be followed." No, but it has already been undertaken by some of the leaders of our race. And we are going to strive to the bitter and until we get what we want. They (Burke and Patterson, writers of the book.) further state that to send 10,000,000 Negroes from the United States to Africa is even impracticable, but I think that if he had heard of Marcus Garvey and the U N I A, he would not have spoken so well, let us look to the great Omnipotent for mercy and the Lord will deliver his children. On his face. If he worries he hides it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing. That can be done, but he is doing it. Yours in the cause of "African Redemption." AGNES E. WALKER. D H S. 72 Portland, Conn. "PAPER SHIPS" While en route to Colorado Springs a few days ago I overheard a conversation between two gentlemen of color as follows: "What do you mean to tell me? That Negro has two ships on the ocean? Why, Nigger, what kind of dope you been using?" Wake up! Come on downairt. I am listening. That what I want you to do. This man Garvey is the wonder of the age. How do you know so much, Mr. Intelligence, that's what I want to know? Have you read the paper called the Negro World? No! I thought not. Well, my mother-in-law takes that paper, passes it around to all of the neighbors. After that she pastes one of Uncle Sam's stamps on it and sends it clear down to the swamps of Jackson, Miss. to her son Sam. Get me! I should say I does. But so far all the ships seem to be on paper." Away down in the far end of the coach sat an old gentleman seemingly asleep. He raised himself to a sitting posture and gave a reproachful yawn: "Well, 'paper ships' will help some. Now, see here. I won't allow one word of disrespect against the Honorable Marcus Garvey—man of the hour—doing something worth while for you and me. I am also a member of the Denver Division 118 and a follower of the Red, Black and Green." I raised my hand to my blouse to see if my button was securely fastened. Gasing out on the beautiful mountainous country, my thoughts traveled to New York City, where the third great convention was being held. Men and women of my race were legislating for the betterment of the Negroes the world over. I thought what a small place this world was, after all. I had almost forgotten the altercations between the two gentlemen. But in looking ahead I saw the old gentleman was practicing what he had preached. He had unearthed two membership blanks from somewhere and was busy enrolling two new followers of "Garveyism." Every knock is a boost. Unable to Terminate Wars Says Senator McKinley, Telling of Collapse WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 - That the United States "had not suffered" by remaining outside the League of Nations was the message brought to President Harding today by Senator William B. McKinley, of Illinois, and Representative Theodore K. Burton of Ohio. They returned from the annual meeting of the Interparliamentary Union at Vienna, Austria. During the European trip they had an opportunity for closely observing the work of the league. "The league has abandoned almost entirely President Wilson's vision of what it might accomplish by terminating wars through the creation of an international police force," said Mr Burton. "It is now devoting its time almost entirely to health work—the study and isolation of contagious diseases." Senator McKinley took occasion to repudiate an interview purported to have been given out by him in Europe, to the effect that America should join the league. "I did not make such a statement at any time during my trip abroad," he said. Burton Firm on Debt Burton Firm on Debt On the subject of this country's war loans to the allied powers, Representative Burton, who is a member of the World War Debt Funding Commission, said he found the debtor governments unxious to pay. Especially was this true in England, he declared. Mr Burton made a particular study of conditions in the countries which owe the United States approximately $11,000,000,000. He will make a detailed report of his findings at the next meeting of the Debt Commission, which is scheduled to be held at an early date. In prosecuting his investigation in Belgium, France, England, Czechoslovakia and other European countries, Representative Burton said he stated plainly to the officials of those nations that the people of the United States expect payment of the debts in full. Optimistic Over Payments The Ohio Representative emphasized in all his foreign conferences and speeches that the people here feel that if the debts were cancelled, the money which would otherwise go in payment of the loans would be applied to the expansion of military establishments, while the United States is greatly desirous of promoting peace rather than war and war machines. While he declined to go into detail as to the ability of other debtor nations besides England to pay their debts to this country, it was apparent that Mr. Burton was a little more optimistic than before his tour as to the probability of collecting from some of the other nations. NEGRO LEADERS BACK THE 18TH AMENDMENT Great National Conference in Interest of Law Enforcement - The Race Called to Crusade Against the Poes of Character. NASHVILLE. Tenn. Oct. 6 (Special).—That the Negro leadership of America stands squarely for the maintenance and enforcement of the Federal prohibition amendment is clearly evidenced by the big National Conference on Temperance, Public Morals and Law Enforcement which is in session here this week. Delegates to the number of several hundred are gathered from all parts of the country and are being addressed by scores of representative Negro leaders of all professions and denominations. Every speech sounds the unmistakable note of loyalty to the constitution and the laws of the land and calls the race to stand like flint against all who would set them at naught. Special emphasis is laid upon the duty of the pulpit, the schools and the press to pass the challenge on to every citizen. An expressive of the mind of the conference on the subject of prohibition, the following telegram was by unanimous vote ordered sent to Hon. Roy Haynes, the Federal Prohibition Commission: "This conference, representing every section of the Negro population, is committed to the high resolve of helping in every way possible the effective enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead law." Education, juvenile delinquency, the cigarette habit, the use of drugs, vice prevention, lynching and other topics of vital importance are being vigorously treated also. The audiences, running often to a thousand or more, are giving the closest attention, sitting through the long sessions daily and evidencing constantly their hearty approval. The conference, while thoroughly inter-deminational, was planned by the Methodist Board of Temperance. Pro-libition and Public Morals and was promoted and arranged by Dr. J. N. C. Coggin of that board. This is the first national law conference of Negroes ever held and is expected to have far-reaching consequences as the beginning of a general crusade among the race in the interest of sobriety, good citizenship and righteous government.

Central Delicias, Oriente De Cuba. DEFENSE OF CHRISTIANITY AND CHRISTENDOM Littor The Negro World, New York Bri - I fully realize the importance of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and sincerely congratulate the leaders for their aplendid efforts to establish our race on a firm basis which will lead to advancement on all planes of existence. No man in the world appreciates the great work of the Association more than I do, and for this reason I am sending you this letter. It is pathetic to read in The Negro World week after week, under the heading of "Foreign News" cunning references to Christianity and Christianity. I have nothing to say personally of the writer. I take it that he is a gentleman and a man of some ability. But I do challenge his continued references to Christianity as an offense to the Christian readers of The Negro World. It is well known that the writer of the articles is not in sympathy with Christianity, for he is a Mohammedan, and a man who is biased or prejudiced against the religion of Jesus Christ will speak or write disparagingly when making references to it. What the Negro needs is helpful ideas to help him in his upward march and not disparaging references to the thing he holds dear—his religion This brings me to the point, and that is that the references so often made to Christendom are rather misleading. Let us see. What is a Christian? In the first place the Bible classes the people of the earth into three great divisions—Jews, Gentiles and Christians (1 Corinthians 10.32). A Jew is a member of a race, just as a Chinaman is a member of a race, no matter what he believes or does not believe. He is always a Jew, just as the Chinaman will always be a Chinaman racially. For instance, we may have a Chinaman who believes in Confucius, another Chinaman may believe in Buddha, another Chinaman may believe in Mahomet and still another may be a believer in Christ, yet in every case he is always a Chinaman. So likewise a Jew is always a Jew regardless of his belief. A Gentile is born a Gentile. He may be a Chinese Gentile, he may be an English, French, Turk, Egyptian or Indian Gentile. No matter what his believes, he will always be a Gentile. Lot us see What is a Christian? A Christian is a person who, out of his own free will, chooses to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. To be a Christian requires a voluntary action on the part PHYLLIS WHEAT UNIVERSAL NEC of the one who wishes to be a Christian; nobody is born a Christian. A Christian, then, is anyone, Jew or Gentile, who believes in and follows the Lord Jesus Christ. The mere fact that a man calls himself a Christian does not at all prove that he is a Christian. The proof lies entirely in the actual test as to whether he does the things which Christ commanded him to do. For instance, a Christian cannot sing "hymns of hate," as that is entirely contrary to the spirit and teachings of Christ. A Christian must love everybody, even love those who hate him. It matters not whether they be Dutch, English, Turk, Chinese or Indian Christians, they know but one law, and that is love. That is, a Christian has an impersonal love for everybody in the world. Trusting Mr. Editor, that writers in your grand Negro World who make such random remarks may not do so again. I am. THOMAS H. SPENCE Caimanera, Orlando, Cuba.

There is always something peculiarly interesting in a story told about the Negro. He has some little native wif that crops out upon the least provocation, and what is remarkable about the Negro story is that it is generally true. The following are true to life and have some little merit to attract. Down on the "Jeems" river in Virginia during slavery lived an extremely odd character named Isom Witcher. He was familiarly called Uncle Isom and was a very trusty old Negro. His master trusted him implicitly, and allowed Isom to work for outside parties and keep his wages for himself. It happened that Uncle Isom had hired himself to work at a coaling job some miles from his master's farm, and he was to be gone a week. On Monday morning before leaving hom he bought, at the crossroads grocery, a peck of meal, a pint of molasses and a dozen salt herring such as are sold extensively in Virginia and are quite a commodity in the District. He and his wife, Sally, breakfasted out of this abundant store, and he departed for his scene of work. His wife in the meanwhile, during his absence, was to eat of this abundance. On Saturday night Uncle Isom returned home tired and hungry. As soon as he had reached his cabin door he asked "Look a-here, Sal, aln't my suppah ready?" "How I been git suppah wid nuffn in de house?" "Ain't I done buy pervishun last Monday? You're de mos' 'stravigantes' 'oman I ever seed," replied Uncle as, boiling with rage, he left the house and started toward the grocery. When he arrived there he startled the grocery man by the suddenness of his query: "Look a-heeh, Massa Chawles, I cum down heah to ax you a queshun. Didn' I git some pervishun heah last Monday?" "Massa Chawles" looked over the books and enumerated the articles with a query as to what was the trouble. Uncle leom then went on to say: "Well, yo' see, Massa Chawles, me an' my ole 'oman breakfussid outen dem pervishun las' Monday mawin', an' I took a little snack 'long wid me when I went to wuk. Heah is Sat'day night and I cum home speckun to git a good sippah. Had my too fot fo' co'nbraid, lasses and brilled herrin' an' my ole 'oman tells me dey ain' a drap o' dem pervishuns in de house. It's much bledeg to you, Massa Chawles. I shall tak' my fut in my han' an' go home. When I git dah I speck to gedder me a dozen o' dem black hick-ries outen de clarin', an' I'll hit ole Sal a roun' hunnesd dis night. I'll show huh I'se de top shingle an' bottom sill o' dem premusses." When Robert Smalls, the hero of the planter, was in Congress, he used to amuse his colleagues by telling them jokes that sometimes burst buttons off their trousers and provoked broad grins at one and the same time. "One day he was passing a group of hilarious M. C.s who were standing in the rear of the bar of the House when a flippant member of the party saw him and called out, "Hello, Bob." "Bob" passed on without recognising the speaker. A few minutes later the former speaker remarked to Smalls that he had spoken to him a few moments before and that he (Smalls) did not return the courtesy. Smalls gathered himself together and told this joke: A colored man in a certain town engaged a room at $5 per week. At the end of the first week he went to his landlord and tandered him the rent, remarking, "Here is the $5 William I owe you." "That is not a $5 William." said the landlord; "that is a $5 bill." "Well," said the lodger, "I haven't been acquainted with it long enough to be so familiar." Continuing amid laughter, Smalls reminded his familiar friend that their relations on the floor of the House neither in a general nor social way had been very familiar, and that certainly he had no good ground for pre-priming that he (Smalls) would not object to being addressed as "Bob." The member, whose pate resembled a golled ballard ball, made the amende honorable as a good Rej ublican and helped heartily in the laugh that was mildly at his expense. There is a colored gentleman at the Government Printing Office whose business it is to look after the toilet rooms reserved for the use of the men of his division. This gentleman's name is Wright, and the universal opinion is that he is a right good sort of man. Recently he applied for and his granted a leave of absence, and the types who knew him best felt that it would be the proper paper to express his him on the eve of his departure the first regard they had for him and the hope that he would have an enjoyable meet, once considering his little speech with a hearty handshake. Mr. Wright said the ordeal like a hero until he dispatched they were repeating on him. Then he made elaborate preparations to allow the reception to a speedy close. He went on to the promenon, thrust the hose into an open bag of ink and returned to his post, keeping the water contained out of it. In a few minutes' notice of the social types present he would say "shake," and MAGAZINE PAGE at the same time poke fun t Brer Wright in his native patois. "Well, Brer Wright," said he, "I heahs dat you'se gwine to lef' us, and I pow'ful sorry you'se gwine, cause weuns had learn' to lub you. Brer Wright. I apose you gwine' ten camp an' tar things all to pieces when you gits down home" Brer Wright amiled assent "Well, Brer Wright, if you will tar yo'self away fum us, goo by," extending his hand Brer Wright grasped the snowy white membrer with his inky digits and murmured softly and sorrowfully, "Goodbye." The printer released his hand, and when he saw the "impression Brer Wright had brought out, he threw in a number of three-em dashes and wanted to do some "slugging." Better judgment prevailed, and that affair was indefinitely postponed The typo acknowledged the joke was on him, and advised Brer Wright to give President Harrison the benefit of his knowledge in the art of handshaking so that he might elude the horde of chronic handshakers who daily crowd the receptions at the White House. A hodcarrier in Washington who by the way, is of African descent, had heard discussions concerning the weather during the past winter, and had frequently heard how the thermometer registered several degrees below zero. One morning when the mortar was frozen and could not be used, this hodcarrier announced the fact to his boss, with the information that it couldn't be cut with a chisel as "the themometer was way down below Cairo and de mercumry had gone out at de top" Another story is told of an old colored lady who kept an ancient timepiece on the mantel and the only virtue it possessed was that of always being slow. During the summer this fact did not annoy her boarders, but in the winter, as the days shortened, the slow clock was a torture. They remonstrated with the old lady about it. She set the clock up several times, but at last grew tired and, when spoken to the last time, replied: "Now, I done set up my clock twicet. I ain't gwine touch it again. De days am gittin' shorter, and I ain't gwine ruin my clock tryin' to keep it up wid de time." her view of the question being that the hours lessened but the clock kept its regular time.

GRANT SAYS EUROPE HATES AMERICA Asserting today that a five month trip through the Continent had convinced him that Europeans regarded Americans as the most raced race on earth, Ulysses S. Grant, oldest son of General Grant, who arrived here with his wife on the Red Star liner Finland, made it plain he would never go to Europe again. "All over Europe," said Mr. Grant, "there seems to be a general hatred for Americans and all things American. The Europeans seem to detest us most cordially, and we are targets for the most intensive hatred. "As an example of this," he continued, "I will tell you of an incident that occurred on a train en route from Amsterdam to Berlin. This is not an isolated occurrence, but is unfortunately quite general." "The train was crowded, and my wife and I were conversing in English when a Swede, overhearing us talk, demanded to know if we were Americans. We replied in the affirmative, and he said: "So you are Americans. Well, I will tell you that we hate you with our heart, brain and blood. Tell that to your countrymen." "Shortly after this Mrs. Grant, who was very tired, said, 'If I don't get a seat soon I will die.' The Swede, hearing this, shouted at her, 'I'd like to see you die right in the aisle.'" "Another passenger, hearing this, jumped to his feet and courteously offered Mrs. Grant his seat. Thanking him, she accepted and as she did so the Swede, raising his voice, shouted: 'I'm going to put you off the train. If I cannot do it, I will get the guard to do it for me. You have no business to be riding on these trains.'" "The Swede rushed away and found the guard, who, upon returning, examined our tickets and, finding them correct, apologized for the inquiry and departed. "I am seventy years old," said Mr. Grant, with a rusual smile, "and the Swede was a very powerful man. If I had been but a few years younger, the ultimate outcome of the insult would have been, I think, considerably different. The general attitude of the Europeans I met cured me of a desire to ever go to Europe again."—Exchange. Weekly Sermon --- Let me call your attention to the suppositions of the New Testament. But before I do so let us define it. It is a hypothesis. A proposition laid down without proof. A conjecture. There is a suppositional instinct in man Jesus Christ said. Suppose ye. And the apostles also frequently alluded to suppositions. Let us examine several types. I There Are Apprehensive Suppositions. In Acta xvi. 27, we read "Supposing that the prisoners had escaped." The reference is to the Philippian jailer An earthquake had shaken the prison to its foundation Awakening, he was scared for the prison doors were opened. In his terror he seized a sword and would have thrust himself through with it, supposing that the prisoners had escaped." But they had not. He was a victim of an apprehensive supposition. Who had not often been akin to jailer in this? Which of us has not been victimized by his apprehensive suppositions? These have often made us well nigh suicides. Yes, we are apt to be enlailed thereby Some lives are perpetually darkened by apprehension. We are vexed by the shadows of troubles that never appear. We die a hundred deaths in fearing one. We cross bridges before we come to them. We are unprophetic alarmists. There are those who feel something is going to happen. And they are unquestionably right, but that which is to happen is not necessarily disastrous. Our great sorrows are often created by our imagination. Life's heaviest afflictions frequently arise from apprehensive suppositions. "Supporting the prisoners had escaped" we madly clutch our sword and threaten to bathe it in our blood. What gloomy suppositions we often entertain about the events of Providence We suppose we shall end our days prematurely We suppose our loved ones will fade from before our eyes. We suppose our health will fall We suppose it will be effaced by its victorious foes And what apprehensive suppositions we cherish regarding our own personal salvation' How we falter in faith and hope' How easily Satan encares us by pessimism' We even suppose we have committed the unpardonable sin Truly we are in the lineage of the anonymous faller of Philippi, who would have slain himself 'supposing that the prisoners had escaped.' We, like him, need a reassuring "Do thyself no harm" We want a potent, arreative, apostolic voice to drive away our baseless despair II. There Are Suppositions of Disappointments. In Acts vii. 25, we read: He supposed his brethren would have understood "But they did not Stephen is outpouring that wonderful historical retrospect of his. He alludes to Moses. Moses was the subject of a supposition doomed to immediate and distressing disappointment. He supposed how his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them. Life abounds in such suppositions. Life is full of disappointments. Moses stands for all men, especially for all men of dream life, of sanguine outlook. He is like unto his brethren in all ages. Who has not entertained suppositions which ended in dark disappointments?" We have supposed so much about ourselves. We supposed we should by now have been wealthy influential, a benediction to our age, and today discover us poor, obscure and of little service to our day. True there is much in many lives that is a glad surprise. We never dared to dream we should have possessed much that we now enjoy. God has started us with his goodness. But still, which of our finds elements of disappointment in his life? My friend, strive to regard disappointments as discipline. By failure we pass to truest success. By surprises of disappointments we come to immortal surprises of delight; by sorest loss to surest gain "By those things men live." Through disappointments God comes in the "increasing purpose" of the ages—the upbuilding of character, the salvation of the souls. And remember God. His tremendous disappointments. For we have every one disappointed Him. He looked for His vineyard to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. Let me delightfully proclaim that there is one in whom none ever was or can be disappointed. Jesus, the Saviour of the world. When did He ever come short of our hopes? Oh, cleave unto BISHOP I. E.

Spiritistic Suppositions Heup xxiv, 37, we find in this record They supposed that they had seen a spirit But they had not. It was an idle supposition This supposition is fast becoming universal Humanity feels that it is environed and atmosphere by the supernatural. The air is strung with spirits, beatific and malignant Do not I pray you, sneer at or seek to quench that sense of the spiritistic It may be ballowed into worship It may be sublimated into faith One of our most insisted modern religious teachers says It is an impressive testimony of our sinfulness that we have such a dread of the supernatural Ah so indeed it is The heavenly spirits terrify us because we have lost affinity with them 14 Suppositions About the Saviour Jno xx. 15 Supposing Him to be the gardener Mary, when called by name saw in the humble gardener the Christ she knew Humble appearance may often cause us to suppose 2 His final relation Luke in 23 As was supposed, the son of Joseph How inadequate the supposition then and ever now 3 The presence of Jesus was once supposed and that by His mother and by Joseph Luke in 44 Supposing Him to have been in the company" But He was not Do not be content to suppose Jesus is in your company but be sure to know He is there by seeking Him out If you know Jesus is not in your company It is a splendid idea to forsake that company 4 The record of Jesus Jno xxl 25 I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written A sublime hyperbole If all the many other things Jesus did should be written John supposes the world would not be a library sufficiently capacious' Yet perhaps this is not such a hyperbole after all, for if what Jesus did were full written as to its philosophy, its deep eternal signification, how infinite would the literature be' My friends, what do you "suppose about our Saviour?" You cannot but have a motley throng of suppositions pass through your mind. Describe them. How shall they be characterized? Are they worthy or ignobly incongruous? What think ye of Christ? If you entertain glorious suppositions of Him, see that you ever strive in His strength, to live worthily of those suppositions. Oh do not think poetry and live drivelling prose. Finally, may I cherish suppositions concerning you? Suppose you are a Christian indeed. Suppose, if never before you become such now. Suppose through all life a changing scene you follow Jesus, if grant you may not come short of these last suppositions. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY SELECTS LION FOR MASCOT LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Pa. Oct. 12 - Last spring as school days were waning, the question of mascots among Negro colleges and universities was considered among the students here. At that time the students were opposed to selecting "tawny man" as the living symbol of the athletic prowess and achievements of Lincoln. Certain students, however were determined that our schools, and Lincoln in particular, should have some animal which could be placed in songs and yells, which would look snappy upon pennants and banners, and in addition, add class and gear to the warriors upon the field of battle. At a mass meeting this fall the matter of mascots came up again. The bull, typifying ruggedness masculinity and breastly terror was suggested. The king of the herd had a large following, especially of sophomores, but he lacked sufficient votes to become the choice of the college rooters. Following the rejection of the bull, a long list of animals was presented including the bear, the gnu, the boa, the panther the eagle the bat, the shark, the buffalo and the lion again. An ingenious senior and head cheer leader, W Harold Webb, sketched a huge, ferocious lion and showed that by magnifying the first, second, fifth and seventh letters of the word Lincoln, thus- AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE 132d STREET SEVENTH AVE.

When this was done and the natural qualities of the "king of beasts" were lauded, the students overwhelmingly selected the lion as the mascot of Lincoln University. Already there is a general call for the pennant with the smashing lion upon it. In the autumn football classic at Washington on Thanksgiving day the Orange and Blue of Lincoln will be doubly recognized by the appearance of this mascot in big time fashion. The squad is seiously preparing for this and other frays. The first game of the season was played against Bordentown Industrial School on October 7. This game showed many weaknesses, among them a weak line, a slow backfield and a lack of teamwork. The score being only 9 to 0 in Lincoln's favor meant a victory for Bordentown, considering her opponents. Since then Coach Law, a former captain of the Lincoln Lions and an All-American halfback, has been grilling and whipping his men into concerted action. The coach has some splendid material and still some time to build a team. Four strong teams are yet to be met. The schedule for the year is as follows October 14—Harrisburg A A, at Lincoln University, Pa. October 21—Morgan College, at Lincoln University, Pa.

OF THE ANNUAL OUTPUT OF GOLD IS PRODUCED IN SOUTH AFRICA FIFTY-TWO AND HALF PERCENT. OF THE ANNUAL OUTPUT OF GOLD IS PRODUCED IN SOUTH AFRICA South Africa's importance to the world at large is mainly due to its being the greatest producer of gold The annual output at the present time totals nearly 52% per cent of the world production Gold was mined on a considerable scale in Rhodesia by the ancients who left behind them as evidence the ruins of Mashonland Where these ancient people came from, whither they departed and the reason for their departure are all a matter of surmise. But it is known that they were not natives of the sub-continent, for the ruins are of a type which precludes such an idea. Of these ruins Zimbabwe forms the largest group. This was the chief inland stronghold and probably the temple of those who came in search of precious metals. It is conjectured on reasonable grounds that the mines were worked during the time of the Queen of Sheba and that the gold utilized for King Solomon's Temple came from Mashonland. The methods employed by these ancient workers are practically unknown except that the workings rarely exceeded one hundred feet in depth and came to a stop a few feet below what was then the water level. The remains of a few iron tools and crucibles have been discovered There is, also, evidence to show that "fire setting" for splitting the hard rock was extensively employed. The gold-bearing rock was transported to the nearest river where the extraction took place and hundreds of hollow grinding stones with their accompanying hard crushing stones show the simple but effective methods employed to extract the bulk of the gold contents of the ore. Slave labor would appear to have been abundant and not only was a large output obtained, but ore of a very low grade was effectively worked. Indeed, there are indications that a yield of even two pennyweights a ton was not deprised by these ancient taskmasters. There are not wanting signs that the gold fields were suddenly and permanently deserted and the probability is that some form of plague swept away the population of the country. In 1885 there is the first record of gold being panned from the beds of ```markdown ``` the Witwatersrand in the Transvaal. These are the largest gold fields now producing in South Africa and are located on a plateau nearly 6,000 feet above the sea. The Witwatersrand (or White-Waters-Ridge) projects somewhat above the plateau and the outcrop of the conglomerate reefs con- thus, in a measure, be said to be the dividing watershed between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the tributaries of the Vaal River draining into the Atlantic and those of the Limpopo, or Crocodile, River to the Indian Ocean. The progressive reduction in working costs due to modern mining methods and increased efficiency renders payable a vast quantity of low-grade ore, and consequently extends the life of the gold fields. The working cost per ton have been reduced from $542 in April to $4.68 in July and the profit has been increased in the same period from $163 to $220. According to the National Bank of South Africa, Ltd., New York, the output of gold from the Union of South Africa for the month of August, 1927, totaled 752,490 ounces fine, valued at $15,555,322, or at the rate of $156,663,386 per annum, which makes the total production since the commencement of operations on the Rand nearly three hundred and twenty-five billion dollars, and in addition Southern Rhodesia is producing at the rate of $13,500,000 worth of gold per year. The total output of gold in the United States—the world's second largest producer—for the year 1921 totaled 2,422,000 ounces, having a value of $50,067,300 "MORRIS" November Specials IN OUR Musical Instrument Department C.

DIVISIONS HOW THE THIRD ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION WAS OBSERVED BY CHAPTER BRANCH NO.53, CONSUELO, SAN PEDRO DE MARCORIS, SANTO DOMINGO, D. R. Preparatory to the Convention, a Big Mass Meeting Was Held by Chapter No. 53 at 4 o'Clock on July 30th, the Sunday Preceding the Beginning of Convention, to Encourage Negroes to Join the U. N. I.

S. A. There was a good gathering, and after the opening of the meeting in the customary manner a splendid program was presented to the audience, as follows. The choir accompanied by an orchestra, sang the hymn "Sound the Battle Cry" in a most forceful manner. The president Mr Abram Labeba, then read an appeal calling on all Negroes of this community to wake up to a sense of their duty to the race in general, showing them that there is sympathy in numbers, hence the necessity for unity. He in conclusion in a masterly way impressed on them the necessity of having on the continent of Africa a government of our own where we would be able to develop industrially commercially and otherwise. Mr D W Briaso next delivered an address on led principally on the necessity of members joining the association in order to help in the building up of a government for the entire protection of the race and its fundamental progress. A bhum. O Paradise I was next rendered by the orchestra after which Mr E Barley kept the audience spellbound with an address in which he pointed out that the Hon Marcus Barry is God sent to warn us of the ensuing danger of our race being crushed out by the other races in the common struggle for existence. The Vice-President, Mr Thwaites, spoke at length on the vision the Hon. Marcus Garvey saw. A Redeemed African and showed how its fast materializing into a reality, Mr Duhlique gave an address calling on Negroes to put their shoulders to the wheel and help to uplift the race. The audience was next entertained with a corner solo entitled 'Ave Martin' by the band-master Mr. Dorsal a Negro youth of 20, who unlimited career as a professional cornet reminds one of theumpela played by the world's foremost artists and at sight any well-binking Negro could imagine the past and classical genius of the race were more in vogue. Thus solo brought leafening and uplift. --- Following this was an address by Mr. Lew, who impressed on his hearers that Negroes must look forward to Africa as the home for their profit to be further pointed out that in these studies at the present day freedom to Negroes is a mock one, and through the Universal Negro Improvement A solution we have begun to fight for real freedom, therefore it's us to be determined unto the end. The other speakers were Messra Dayrou Martin Mike Gordon Brown Wattley Bruce and Dyer. The choir then sang stock of Ages" and the meeting was brought to a close in the regular way. Tuesday, August 1, 1922 This day was opened with great solemnity which was observed by members of this chapter during the thirty days the convention was in session. Programs of the transactions of this chapter for the month of August were drawn up by its members and presented to the administrator of this plantation who approved of same. They were as follows: Tuesday August 1, 1922 10 a.m. 12 m. Divya service in the meeting hall to ask God's blessing on the opening of the convention. 8 p. m-10 p. m—Prayer meeting for the same purpose. A series of meetings was held during the month of August to ask God's guidance in the deliberations of the convention, and to encourage members to enroll their names as active members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Owing to lack of employment at present, only a few were able to identify themselves as active members, but from the great crowd that attended the meetings and from the prompt manner in which they contributed morally and financially to the functions, etc., there are visible signs that as soon as work starts there will be a big rush fo. mem-hip Thursday, August 31, 1922 6 a. m -The holating of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League flag and the singing of the Ethiopian Anthm. 10 a. m to 12 m.-Divine service thanksgiving to God for His mercy shown to the convention 2 p. m to 5 p. m -A repast in the meeting house to which all Negroes were invited, and for which all members were taxed 25 cents. 7 30 p. m to 10 p. m -Concert, In compliance with demands of Parent Body, collection at the door 10 p. m. to 12 a. m -A free ball in the theatre hall, officers to take the first set of dances. At the hoisting of the Red, Black and Green, short addresses in honor of the flag and the day were given by Messera Labega, Thwaites and Pryce The Ethiopian Anthom was played by the band and heartily sung by hundreds of Negroes present This was an impressive scene and proves clearly that Negroes here mean to uphold the city of Africa for the Africans," those at home and abroad. The thanksgiving service conducted by Mr Thwaites was well attended and fraught with instructions on the aims and objects of the organization and the important part being played by the Third International Convention. The repeat in which both active and inactive members, gaily appareled, participated, was a success. The hall was crowded with a real social, cheerful and fraternal gathering, and from the strict decorum observed all through the function it proves clearly that the new Negroes here are proud to observe the closing day of the convention as the Negroes' Thanksgiving day.

The above program was indeed a rare one, and a very enjoyable evening was spent, for which the audience is indebted to the bandmaster and musical instructor of the choir, who is the sole promoter of the concert. He deserves much praise for the untiring seal he exercised in preparing the entertainment in so short a time and for the efficient manner in which both orchestra and choir distinguished themselves. It is worthy to note that stirring addresses were delivered at the concert by Miss Martha Laboga and M. T. Nichols, both loyal members of Macoris Division No. 26. In conclusion Chapter 68 begs to tender its thanks through this medium to Mr Kilbourne, administrator of this plantation, for the accommodations given it to carry out its program for the month of August, 1922.

I have also sent several copies to the loading heads of unions, societies, etc., and the peoples are all enraptured.

AS SHE STRUCK IN SELF-DEFENSE . ( Special to Negro World ) (Special to Negro World) On Tuesday night, September 26, about 8 o'clock, Miss Jane Ann Camp- ball was standing out at "Vista Alegr- ne" near to where she was employed. in conversation with her daughter Miss Nora Lloyd and Miss Cocilia Sangat- when they were attacked by four white boys. The Happenings During the course of their conversation they saw these four white boys walking up to them. One of the boys had a long stick in his hand. These ladies paid absolutely no attention to these boys, who, they thought, were only passing. Very surprisingly to Miss Campbell she felt that she was struck by the boy with the same stick from behind, the stick was eight feet long, and the boy tried to get the stick between her legs. She seized the stick and the boys ran away. These ladies kept on talking, and a few minutes later the boys were on the scene again with another stick. The boy who had the stick in the first case had it also in the second, and strict attention was paid to his attitude. Miss Campbell having keenly noticed that they were coming directly to the spot where she and her friends were still standing, made no attempt to throw the stick. She was, however, forced to throw it, owing to the provocations and threats of these boys. They (the boys) started to run, when the one who carried the stick fell down, causing two wounds, one on the forehead and the other near to the mouth. A noise next was heard, and very quickly the telephones between Santiago and "Vista Alegré" were set to call all the armed forces to take charge of Miss Campbell. Fortunately, only about one-half came for her. The boy died on the way to Emergency Hospital. The doctors who made the examination were unable to determine the cause of his death. Next morning the various papers stated that GREETINGS TO MEMBERS OF CAYO MAMBIA DIVISION, U. N. L. A October 3, 1922. Dear Comrades, I take this medium in tendering to you the season's greetings in appreciation of the great work you have been doing during my absence. I have been kept informed of the status of the division through a few of its loyal members, and would advise that you unite unflatteringly, for unity is one of the principles which shall solve the problem of equality. As president of our division I am conversant with the tenacity and faithfulness of many of you with few exceptions, and regret greatly of my severance, not without I shall endeavor to communicate with you so as to be acquainted with your achievements. From ever I joined this noble cause I pledged myself to compete untrifly, until we shall have gained racial recognition by alien races; under such circumstances it is oblivious that Africa expects every "Negro" to do his duty and do it boldly. It is apparent that there will be significance of unbalanced minds among you during the reading of the latter clause of this letter, which shall be indicated through the spirit of unrest as the speaker unfolds the secret of its conception. Prior to my leaving our division I told you that my study would be indefinite in consequence of conditions than, but after a two months' sojourn I discovered a great vicissitude, a change which has caused me to decide this way: Through the development of my profession, and not only that, but I am requested by the company for which I was working in Havana to be in Nassau at the earliest opportunity. Such request had been made over two months ago and just reached me. Under such circumstances I am compelled to resign my position as president of our division, through conditions over which I have no control; nevertheless, I hope you may not garage your division with malice and disunion, but rather that you be valiant and courageous in your aspiration for African freedom. The severance of individuals by the iron hand of death, or the departure by land and sea, should not retard the progress of any organization, but rather that the spirit of a "Cromwell" be manifested so as to maintain the dignity of the "league." I thank you very much for the kind support you gave me during the period of my administration among you. It shall be indelibly recorded in the album of the history of my life as a manifestation of the patriotism of the people of your division. May God's richest blessings ever rest on you with all your labors, for the molding and shaping of uncharitable conditions, for the uplifting of those that are depressed, for the true development of the lives of the community, and the good of humanity. May ever puffs your course untruly, conquering your pathway with great deeds of valor, until you have attained a nation, where into greater fields of development, and a softer life of recognition and usefulness. Marine Carver, like Bunyan, saw a vision. He had apparently had a panoramic view of the freedom "his race, and eventually started with his burden on his back, calling for help. Many shrieked but fell in the depth of despair, while others hid the key or promise in their hearts and doubled their deliverance. James I. M. L. A. for moral deodoration of the human body, which necessitated the use of manhood. the doctors declared the boy did not die from any blow given him, that the stick was too long to do any harm, and that there was not the slightest mark on the boys body to identify any blow had been given him. The stick was about eight feet long and two inches in diameter, and was the dry limb of a tree. During the examination of the case on Friday the courtroom was packed with Negroes waiting to see what was going to happen to this Negro woman. There seemed to have been much sympathy extended her even by the court officials. But the fact remains that Miss Campbell is still under arrest, and no one knows what is going to become of her, she spent the three first days of her arrest at "Punta Blanca," and was transferred to the "Carcel" on Friday afternoon at 4:30. The matter is in the hands of two brilliant Negro lawyers, Dr America Portoando and Dr Leonardo Brinan, who are now soaking bail for their client. Miss Campbell is twenty years of age, and has lived here since May, 1910. A delegation, made up of Measra Madoubough, Duff, Watt, Barrett McCatty Rawlins and Keld, interviewed the acting British Vice-Consul, Mr E Brice. Mr Rawlins was the spokesman of the delegation. On entering the convolute, the presence of the Consul was solicited, and as he took his stand the spokesman said. This delegation has come to you in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on behalf of Miss Jane Ann Campbell of Jamaica, B W I, who was arrested on Tuesday night last and who is still under arrest on the defense of her dignity and honor. She is charged with manslaughter. I dare say you have seen the case in the various papers. She was sent to the 'Vivace' on Tuesday night right after tin Luther, Fuht and Fisher, and others of like valor. Commemorating the words of Latimer, the Christian martyr, I say Garvey has hit a candle which by God's grace shall never be blotted out. Thus let us help him to keep the light burning.

IND On account of the cool weather and a little rain that was falling, only a few of our people were present at our mass meeting. Yet the spirit of the new Negro was in the meeting. The meeting was opened by the vice-president and the singing of the usual song and prayer in concert. After "America" the universal anthem was sung and the meeting was declared opened The vice-president gave us an opening address that was awakening to those inclined to sleep. In his address he spoke of how we could be converted to Garviesian. He first told us what conversion was. He said it was to turn around, and the thing for the Negro to do was to turn from that old Uncle Tom's way and follow the man who had the vision of the day. Who is he? He is the Hon Marcus Garvey, the God-sent man, a leader of a great people. He spoke of the different ways we could improve ourselves, and one of the things was time. First be on time and be ready to do what you find to do in the organization. Many other things he said in the way of improvement that the hearers seemed to grasp with glad hearts. Then came a paper reading by Mrs Hallie M. Brown, who never falls to speak with words that seem to carry love to all within sound of her voice. Mrs. T. B. Coleman talked on love. She spoke of the different things that love would do, and how our division would grow and help push the program over the top. She also said if all would beget love there could be no strife among us. The vice-president then presented the president, C. M. Winush, who first sang the song. "I Will Overcome Some Day." The meaning of that song was the U. N. I. A. will overcome some day. But like others he spoke of one who knew no defeat. It was himself that was determined that if in servitude no defeat would come. His subject was taken from the first chapter of Ecclesiastes, the latter part of the ninth verse. He spoke in a calm voice. He said we wanted men like Mordescal, who would stand for his people, though it seemed that death awaited him. And women like Ethel, who said "If I perish I will perish before the king." When we can become a people that is willing to die for ourselves and our younger ones we will overcome. He spoke of how the white man tell of how their fathers shed blood that they may hold supremacy, and why not let it be said of our children that we have reclaimed Africa, that they may supervise and supervise as long as one-sixtieth of Negro blood is flowing. And many other things were said about helping others if there were some who did not want to go. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922 the arrest and remained there until Friday afternoon when she was transferred to the 'Carcel' without any bail. If you are not aware of what happened this delegation is now prepared to make a statement to you." The Consul's Reply The Consul, in turn, responded, "Yes, I have seen the case in the papers and I have been watching it. I do not see how she can be constituted for the doctors have declared that the boy did not die from any blow. This delegation should do all in its power to get her a lawyer and when that is done let me know so that I can interview him. Right now I cannot interfere, but I will watch the whole affair and will do all in my power to see that justice be given her." He then asked a few questions which were very important and the answers were given accordingly. Consul Visits Miss Campbell The following day the Consul called at the "Carcel" to see Miss Campbell sometime about noon. He took some statements from her, and she said that he seemed to be in sympathy with her, for he demonstrated sincerity in the conference between them. This present action of Mr. Epstein Brice, the British Vice-Consul of Santiago do Cuba, has caused much comment, it is so uncustomary in him to do anything for the benefit of a Negro that this has become a kind of disaster to us. Mr Brice has never done anything in the past, but has shown that he intends to do in the future. We shall tender a vote of thanks to the 'Light' for having handled Mr Brice so manfully, which has caused this grand one to change, and we shall also write to Great Britain thanking her for sending us a man in the person of Brice. Thanking you Mr. Editor, for space in your valuable columns, I beg to remain Yours for racial progress MR. ARTHUR LEVY, CENTRAL MIRANDA, ORIENTE, CUBA, PASSES AWAY The Miranda Division, Charter No. (1), of the "N. I. A" has sustained a most regrettable loss in the sad death of one of its most energetic and distinguished members, Mr. Arthur Levy, late of Kingston, Jamaica, who passed away on Sunday, September 17, about 6 p.m. in the Miranda Sugar Company's hospital. Mr. Levy was born in the village of Christiana, Manchester, from where he was removed as a boy to Kingston, where most of his time was spent. He was about 26 years of age. He had been in Miranda for some long time and had been in the service of the commercial department under the able management of Mr. Oscar Fajardo for over a year. The attention paid to him during his illness and the interest shown to him during his funeral by that worthy gentleman and his staff of the department are a clear proof of the esteem in which the late young man was held. Arrangements for his burial were made between the members of the U N I A and Mr Fajardo early on Monday morning, September 18, and to allow the employees of his department to attend the funeral was fixed for the unusual hour of 1 p.m. In spite of the scorching hot sun the crowd in black and white gathered at the hospital in very orderly form. The procession marched to the church. The coffin, bearing the colors of the U N I A, was met at the door by the chaplain, Mr. F J Watson who, with the assistance of Mr. A. Clarke, performed the burial ceremony. Mrs. F J. Watson, lady president and organist, played very solemnly the appropriate hymn and a dead march as the procession left the church, headed by the chaplain and Mr Clarke. The bier was borne by members and friends of the deceased, assisted by the staff of the commercial department. At the grave Mr J. Campbell spoke, testifying to the good reputation of the deceased and cautioned his young companions to live prepared for death. Messrs Watson and Wiggans returned thanks to the manager of the commercial department and its staff for the interest they had taken. A lovely breath and ribbon was presented to the deceased by his department, bearing his name. His loss is very much regretted, as we look around daily and remember the kindness he had done for every one. It will take a long time to forget him. We are pleased to state that our division is progressing very much and we hope we are long we will be at the head of all divisions in Cuba as we are trying to gain all Negroes that we come across.

A. held a m s meeting at Liberty Hall, 374 Elm street. The meeting was called to order by the president, R. Linday. The following was the order of the day: Ode, constitutional prayer, "Onward Christian Soldiers," addressed by Vice-President Chan Hewitt, piano solo by Mrs. M. Wilson, address by G. Slader, treasurer; solo by Mrs Sarah Gibson, piano accompaniment by Mrs. Dorothy Wilson, reading of President-General's message by the secretary, N. E. Gumbs; address by Jos. Garner, ex-president; address by Rev. Goodwin, pastor of A. M. E. Church, solo by brother Jos. Carly. The principal speaker was Rev. Cunston, D.D., pastor of Roaville A M E church and ex-chapain of Jersey City Diylass. His subject was The Birth of a Nation." He showed how the Negroes were the forerunners of civilization and how the present and past Negroes were fooled by the Bible not being taught right. He held his enthusiastic audience spellbound for one hour. Never in our history did we hear such an instructive lecture. We hope to have the doctor with us again. Our division is struggling along through odds, but we will not give up until we have won the victory R LINDSAY, Press. 396 Fayette St. E GUMBB, Gen Nec. 418 Heaman Ave. Perth Amboy, J THE U. N. I. A. IN NASHVILLE. TENN --- Division No. 199 at Nashville, Tenn. held a very delightful meeting Sunday, October 8, 1922, at Liberty Hall. The meeting was called to order by the acting chaplain, Rev Dan Perkin. A song and prayer were rendered by Rev Mr Perkin, after which Mr U. R. Puker, acting president, called for dues from members and three new members enrolled their names with Division No. 199 of Nashville. President T R Now was unable to be out Sunday on account of illness. His presence was missed from the meeting, but the officers in charge carried on the meeting in his absence. An inspiring address was delivered by Dr Williams of Maharachy, Cal, who is visiting the division. He has just returned from New York and spoke very intelligently and clearly of the convention that was held in August in New York by the N U J A and A. C. L. RW E W Bowen addressed the division. He is a race man. He is pastor of the Church of the Living God He will leave for St Louis on the 15th He is a full-fledged member of Division No. 199, and was formerly treasurer, but gave it up because he could not give his services to it. We hate to give up a good member, but wherever he and his wife go some of the other divisions will get them Both are in good standing with Division No. 199 of Nashville. Tenn. The president of the Ladies' Division is still unable to attend to her duties, though able to be out of bed God is the creator and the cause of things or there is no God. But there is a God, for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and God-head. Down through the ages God has had a memorial of His creative powers. Had the world always remembered and observed His memorial of creation, the seventh day, Sabbath, there never would have been an idol worshipper. In this connection the Saviour said "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man made for the Sabbath." Hateful is war, but what true man would cherish peace in chains? Peace is not peace that doth not freedom know Peace not peace unless fair juice rejoins in declaring to the world that the Negro must be free, and that Africa must be redeemed. We have sounded a trumpet that shall never call retreat in the struggle for the all-around freedom and emancipation of this race of ours. A few million Irishmen, a little band of Montenegrins a few million serbs, as well as of Greeks and others, have been able to impress the world with the justice of their cause, and have their governments respected by the nations of the world. Then how much more will 400,000,000 Negroes be able to accomplish if we stand solidly together in the cause of the Negro freedom and African redemption? We must merit, demand, compel and inspire respect and administrate for the Negro people of the world. We are yours for the cause. T B NEW, President.

HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING At our regular services last Sunday we had a soul-stirring meeting which was opened by the chaplain, Rev W H Hawkins. He took as his text "God knew and loved me before I know or loved Him and He cared for me then, and I know that since I know Him and love Him He will not fornake me now." The chaplain was at his best and many good thoughts were produced. The next speaker was then introduced—Bishop A W Cook—who came forward and said the fight is on and the freedom of the black folks and the redemption of Africa depend upon black folks being united together and following their wise leader. Hon Mar Guraye His address was enjoyed by all who were present. The next speaker was Bro Gilla, who is with us from Petersburg, Va., and who spoke for a few minutes. He said that he believed that Hon Marcus Garvey was a God-sent man for the redemption of Africa and the colored people. He then gave way and introduced Mrs. Mollie Bakory, who spoke from the prophecy of Ezekiel. The words used were, "Sou of man, can these bones live!" She was full of the Holy Spirit and seemed to have been a bundle of God's wisdom who had come down among men. She electrified our hearts, for she is an eloquent speaker and is able to make men stop and take notice. After her address the president, Rev Nathan Johnson, introduced the Hon. R. S. Haines, who was sent to us by his Excellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, to encourage us in the unification of the race. Mr Haines used as a subject "Hope Thou in God." He talked for over an hour and every word was of interest. He is the mastor wheel of truth, and if men fail to accept and heed this call they are doomed, for this is the last call. He said that some of the ministers were saying that the U. N. I A was splitting the churches, but the church had been split before the U. N. I A was thought of and would be split until the U. N. I A. brought them together, for the devil is in the church and will stay there until God can get in the church. And then they will come together, and not until then, for D.

If these particles could be liberated and controlled, they would provide vastly more power than would be needed to run all the machinery that man ever could devise. "Prof Rutherford," said Dr. Aston, "succeeded in arranging a collision between the central portions of two atoms. The result was the transmutation of the atoms into entirely different forms of matter. The possibility of such transmutation on any scale is of enormous importance. If the amount of hydrogen which goes to constitute a tablespoonful of water were transmuted into helium the energy liberated would be 200,000 kilowatt hours—one-seventh of the total amount of electricity used in London in a day for lighting and power purposes. "The possibility has been discussed," said Dr Aston, that this energy, when first liberated, would be out of human control. In that case, if all the hydrogen or earth were detonated into space the successful experiment would be published throughout the entire universe as the birth of a new star. The probability of this catastrophe," added Dr Aston, "is practically negligible."—New York Evening Post WHAT IS A MIRACLE? We are all interested in miracles. That is to say, we are all interested in the supernatural. That is to say, we are all interested more or less in anything we do not understand and for which we cannot give a reason. All of the progress mankind has made is unable to this inquisitiveness for which the forces among the ancient are most noted. They were all the one trying to find something new. When they did not understand they would shrag their shoulders and say, We will inquire of this matter. It is a very good trait in the character of any people. In answer to our article "Has the Age of Mirrors Passed?" published in our issue of October 5, Professor William H. Ferris, the literary editor of The Negro World, in the issue of October 14, discusses the subject at length and with much show of book information. But we do not see that he has in the least added to or taken from the portion we maintained in our article. A far as we are concerned, he reduces the matter to a definition of the miraculous and cites several Home for instance, the famous critic of Christianity described a miracle as a招亲 of a law of nature by a particular solution of the Dety or the interruption of some invisible event." Channing, the great Umanitarian, defines miracles as being the acts and manifestations of a Spiritual Power in the universe superior to the powers and laws of matter." Professor Ferris says that what we set forth as physical miracles are not what we commonly regard as miracles for what the theologians and philosophers debated about in the nineteenth century. All this may be very true, but does not affect our position in the least. The only difference in the physical creations produced by the spiritual power of man and the creations of the Creator Himself is simply this, that in the beginning the supposition is that out of nothing God created everything that is, and that man creates all the physical wonders we have enumerated out of matter which he did not create. That is to say God created everything out of nothing and man creates whatever he does create out of something created by God in the beginning Everything that has life in it, and everything with blood in it, has life in it, has spirit in it. Where there is no spirit or life there is death of spirit. As a sufficient example, a tree has life and thereto blood. Make an incision in its body and it will bleed. Make an incision sufficiently comprehensive and the tree will die. It is the same with the human body. When life goes out spirit goes out. In discussing this matter our main object is to show that there is nothing impossible with man in creating out of the material which he finds everywhere anything which may be of service to mankind and much that is positively not of service. This fact leads men to undertake inventions of all sorts in mechanics and to attain to all sorts of perfection in the arts, in sciences, and in literature. It is inspiration of the hope grasped by supermen of the race to accomplish all wonders which we regard as miracles in their origin. We can all, therefore, take heart of hope in the particular line of our genius and progressively create new things out of the material we have for our own benefit and the benefit of mankind.—Negro Daily Times. CORNS REMOVED DR. J. P. BAILEY THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1922 SIKI, WILLS and DEMPSEY Since Skii beat Carpentier the old eternal argument flashes up again. In the black man more of a brute than the white man and therefore a better fighter? One Dempsey is the champion fighter of the world, and he is a white man, and this Dempsey, from appearance, is a lower type of humanity than either Skii or Harry Wills, another great black fighter. Dempsey has a beetle brow and a forehead like neo-litho specimens of man. His eyes glare like those of the jungle tiger. His head sits down on his shoulders with very little neck. He has all the earmarks of primitive man. Skii and Wills both have high foreheads. Wills' features are almost aquiline and his profile Grecian. Skii speaks five languages and plays the piano as well as Carpentier. Yet Wills and Skii are said to be lower in the scale of human development than Dempsey and his fellows. What about this Mr Brisbane?—Chicago (II) Whip. AFRICA'S MOUNTAINS The mountains of South Africa, although they do not rival in altitude the ranges in many other parts of the world, yet present great opportunities to the climmer and this fact has been the cause of the rise of enthusiastic mountaineering clubs. The South African system is divided into one plateau after another by definitely marked chains. Proceeding practically due south from Van Rhynsdorp to the Hex River are the following ranges Giftberg, Nardouw Cederbergen and Cold Bokkeveldt. From the river they run east and finish near Port Elizabeth. To the north of these mountains is the Little Karron, the southern boundary of which is the Zuurbergen, and on the north lie the Roggervoldbergen, Nieuveldtbergen and the Sneeuwbergen ranges. South Africa, on the east, has a long strip of coastal land formed by the famous Drakenbergen, which veer away in a westerly direction and meet the Stormbergen. These ranges are not notable for many peaks of very great altitude, as the majority are less than 6,000 feet, but some of the summits tower over 10,000 feet. Apart from mere height, these ranges present many rugged features which make some of the stiffest climbs in the world. Volcanic rock constitutes the highest peaks, and this rock has many cracks of an irregular type and is fine grained. The expansion of the water on these peaks, caused by freezing, splits the rocks, and the result gives to the Drakenberg Range an appearance of needles. Another most interesting and quite unique feature of the mountains of South Africa are the traces of the drawings of the Bushmen, a shy, pygmy race forever on the move, whose great object is to conceal themselves. The race is very low in civilization, and has been bracketed with the Australian aboriginal as being the least advanced of all the races of the world. In spite of the lowly place occupied by the Bushmen, in the estimation of scientists the drawings which have been discovered show that they have certain rude leanings toward art. Owing to the Bushmen's instinct to hide himself, his drawings and paintings are usually found in the most wild and inaccessible parts of South Africa and are mostly discovered on the surfaces of rocks and at the backs of caves. Only some fifty years ago these pygmies occupied the Drakenberg and Maluti ranges, but now they have trekked far away to the Nama-qualand Desert — Christian Science Monitor CONGRESS COWARDLY. THUNDERS DAWES Ex-Budget Director Says House Has Deteriorated Under Primary Law—Cabinet Officers "Comanches" at Spending Money—Billions Could Have Been Saved, He Asserts --- Billions of dollars would have been saved during the war had there been a business staff superimposed to coordinate government financial affairs, according to Brig-Gen. Charles G. Dawes, who spoke last night at a dinner of the New York City committee of the National Budget Committee. He told of his work while serving as director of the budget. He praised President Harding, but said that Cabinet officers were "Commandees" when it came to spending money, and that Congress was filled with "cowards" who would "barter the interests of their country to stay in office." Gen. Dawes, whose emphatic utterances won him the nickname of "Hell and Marla," told his audience that he lost the art of moderate speaking when he went to France. Brushing aside attempts of other speakers to cullize him, he plunged into his subject. He had found that the trouble with government expenditures had been that "everybody did as they damned pleased," he said. There were the Cabinet officers, "entitled to be dignified" but in the business organization of govern nent nothing but vice-president managers who had to take their places. They were put in their places, he said, by the assumption of business responsibilities by the President. Says Harding "Waved the Axe" "He waved the axe," said Gon. Dawes, "and said that if anybody didn't co-operate his head would come off." There had been many who didn't want to co-operate, Mr. Dawes said. "If the President had frowned once at the mention of my name, in thirty days they would have torn my organization to pieces. You don't know how President Harding was threatened with a revolt because of this imposition of central control. You don't see any of that in the paper. I tell you that the Cabinet officers are the natural enemies --- GARVEY'S CALL TO ARMS The Hon. Marcus Garvey is using some plain language these days in the current issues of the Negro World. His latest deliverance under date of October 7 charges that rival enemy organizations are marshaling their forces against the mighty movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and will aid in the prosecution in the United States court against him, which case will soon come to trial. He asserts that we are bankrupt in race leadership. We are of the opinion that the whole world just now is bankrupt is competent leadership. Certain it is that the Congress of the United States furnishes a most remarkable evidence that the United States is bankrupt in white leadership. The labor unions of the country have demonstrated that they are lacking in leadership. Demagogues of every type are in evidence in high places. We have been of the opinion that Marcus Garvey and his movement have been generally misunderstood by the upper class of colored people. He is not a citizen of the United States. He claims that this is a white man's government and that the Negro has no part or parcel in this government. He is correct in this for the Constitution of the United States does not recognize Negroes as a part of this government It recognizes American citizens as a part and parcel of the government, and when the citizen of African descent who was born here, instills upon his rights and privileges under the aforesaid Constitution he is within his rights. Hon Marcus Garvey is an advocate of Negroism in its entirety. He wants to build up an empire or a republic in Africa, with all the power of the present governments which now control the civilized world. He is preaching the gospel of discontent which gospel rallies to his banner thousands of dissatisfied black people throughout the civilized world. Mr Garvey realizes and knows that the revolution must be started among Negroes who have been blessed by civilization. He knows that a full realization of his hopes cannot be brought about during his lifetime. But what about the tens of thousands of citizens of color who hold lightly the racial characteristics and movements? These are the ones who are antagonizing the Garvey movement for the reason that Negro-hating white people are using the Garvey declarations to justify the racial discriminations which are antagonistic to the fundamental principles of the republic itself. This produces a most embarrassing situation. We had hoped that these classes would agree to disagree that no death fight, so to speak, would take place between them. As the matter now stands, Marcus Garvey is calling his followers to arms against the powerful movement which is gaining momentum in this country against his progenanda. We are still of the opinion that a basis of mutual understanding can be reached, by which each title may pursue its own course in peace. The citizen of color with American citizenship sealed with the blood of his fellow knows no flag but the Stars and Stripes. He has suffered in silence and is still suffering. Will he renounce his American citizenship and follow the colors of the red black and green. This is the question and the revolution which the Hon. Marcus Garvey is fomenting may result in the consummation of a hope existing in the increase of some black leaders many centuries ago — The Richmond Planet of the united business control of the government." He told of 200,000 brooms lying idle in the army while the navy wanted to buy 18,000 brooms rather than take army brooms that were wrapped with wire instead of string." In this and other matters he had trouble in getting the information he wanted from the chief of operation of the navy, who said he believed he was doing his duty by the country in not giving it. Tian. Dawes told him that he was primarily a subordinate of the President of the United States. "Either you get out of office or I do." said the general. "I got the information, and the opinion of the President was found to conform to the opinion of the chief of operations minus $10,000,000." He found that he had to deal with the chiefs of bureauz who had a far better technical knowledge of affairs than the Cabinet officers, and by lightening it out with the representatives of the departments who were must closely associated with expenditures the Cabinet was "short-circled." Speaking of Congress, he said: "I wish some one of the young men here would start out to call a spade a spade, and take his successive likings at the hands of the political bosses. I can promise him a career of statesmanship, the only career worthy of an honest man's ambition. Look what the direct primary law has done to Congress. Read the roster of Congress and think what the names meant twenty-five years ago, and read it today. Pusillanimous follow!" He warned that no budget law would be any good unless there was an executive in power capable of enforcing it. He said that Illinois had a good budget law that had saved the State many expenditures under Gov. Dowden, but that under Gov. small "taxes and expenditures had gone up until there isn't a State worse administered than Illinois." "New York Evening Post COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal members and well wishers of the Association in complaints against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employees at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field. The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department officer or employee of the Organization will please write to P. 8.—If you love the Organisation and desire to see it, improve its service to the race, then you will not fail, to report any irregularity, on the part of officials, officers and employee of the Organisation, either not whom the person be if he or she has done anything improper or unconstitutional report it.

WARNS OF PLANS TO DECEIVE NEGRO (Continued from Page 2) the world realizes that the Negro has stepped from the wagon to the automobile class through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it is now taking him seriously. (Applause.) HON. VERNAL WILLIAMS SPEAKS Hon. Vernal Williams said: I am happy to be with you again tonight and lend a few humble thoughts and give forth a few humble expressions in the way of moving forward in the great movement of ours. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, like most movements that attempt to benefit mankind, like most vehicles that have for their goal the progress of humanity, from time to time calls forth a critic not because there is an inherent evil in the movement itself, not because there may be any inherent flaw in the program, but because attacking that which attracts the greatest attention of the human mind, those who attack usually attract to themselves a part of the attention which the attacking object attains. There are others who yesterday preached the doctrine of advancement association, there are some who preached the doctrine of anti-lynching, there are some who preached the doctrine that it is better to fight lynching here in the home where the lynching takes place than to create a mighty government force that could fight lynching more effectively. Then they overnight changed their mode of attack and are devoting themselves toward fighting the Universal Improvement Association. Is it more profitable to fight the doctrine of Garvoylam than it is to fight the battlers of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? There are others who delegate their attention to the art of pedagogy. They were professors and deans of the past, they called themselves leaders of the Negro educational movement, but they turned their backs upon the classroom and began to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Can they? Earn More Fighting the U. N. I. A. than they did as the professor of a classroom. Those are the questions that confront us tonight and it is for us to say whether we will submit to the propaganda of those panhundlers or whether we are going to carry on the walk that we took up—the program from which we have not wavered I was speaking to a gentleman the other day; and he said to me, 'Your association will be all right—you would achieve a great deal more, but the trouble is you are not business-like.' I said to him, 'Your criticism would be all right—your words would have some weight, but you are not competent to judge because you have not been in business, you are not in business now and you show no sign of going into business, how can you talk about (business)' (Applause) The former exponents of the Socialist party say: "We have a program and we have a way by which you can redeem Africa," but all these years they have preached Socialism and they forgot Africa until Marcus Garvey began to preach the doctrine of Africa for the Africana. Today they say, "We have got a plan to redeem Africa." Where is the sincerity? Where is the competency of those men to talk? We cannot pay any attention to them because there is not an agitator, there is not a Socialist, there is not a dean, there is not a professor, there is not a preacher who can say that when a man tries to earn his bread and butter out of the works of other men by sheer destructive criticism he is anything short of a more panhandler. The worst insect in society, the greatest disgrace in society the worst renegade in society is a man who seeks an opportunity to make his living in a disheart way off a man who is building, and that is why thoughtful Americans are paying no attention to those men who are attacking the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because they find that they are men who are trying to rise at the expense of a man who is building The Doctrine Impregnable This doctrine of the consolidation of black men the world over is impregnable. This doctrine of Africa for the Africans is invulnerable. There can be no argument adduced to defeat this one fact that the Negro should have a government of his own. When you hear a man criticize the Universal Negro Improvement Association ask him: "Do you think that the Negroes of the world should have a powerful government like the Japanese, like the Frenchmen, like the Anglo-Saxon, like the German?" and he will be bound to admit they should. This doctrine of government for black men cannot be beaten, and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association tonight is fighting the storms of criticism in spite of the lashing of the waters against the mighty ship of state, in spite of the fact that from time to time the lightning may flash across the path. That is why tonight we are going strong, because humanity accepts that those who are ruled should have a voice in the government that rules them. Humanity throughout the world expects that the black man, like any other man, should determine his own governmental and political destiny, and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to stay; that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association can never be obliterated from the existence of the Negro or of the world because its principles are right; its doctrines are right; because the Negro's highest mundane hope can be no other than consolidation of the groups the world over and formation into a government that will dictate the policies of the world as far as the Negro is concerned. Not only in this country; not only from Maine to the golden gates of California, not only throughout the islands of the sea; not only in Europe; not only in the far off Pacific is the doctrine invulnerable, but even that black soothing mass of on, people over there in what the white man calls the dark continent—even they have got hold of this new doctrine; even they have seen this new star of hope, and behind the leadership of Marcus Garvey, behind the Red, the Black and the Green they are prepared to uphold the arms of this great movement and some day realize the great dream of Africa for the Africana.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922 POINTED PARAGRAPHS FROM 'THE WORLD' AS IT IS A SILVER TREE SERVICE CELEBRATED AT MARCANE, DIVISION NO.267, CUBA A SPECTACULAR PROGRAM ARRANGED By MARCUS GARVEY In The Negro Daily Times Edward F Cassidy, candidate for Governor on the Socialist ticket, was very much disappointed last Sunday when he appeared at the old Palace Casino, at 136th street and Madison avenue. He expected to find a large crowd of Negroes to greet him as the future governor of the State of New York. He believed that Randolph and Owen the two Socialist representatives among Negroes in Harlem were able to deliver the goods they promised. I suppose Cassidy was informed that there were thousands of Negroes in Harlem who were members of the Socialist party made so by the scholarly twins. His disappointment was that of man) and especially those who have been reading the white newspapers for the last thirty days. A great deal has been said in these papers about large meetings being held in Harlem by Randolph and Owen in opposition to Marcus Garvey, but the public falls, as well as Cassidy to realize that these two leisurely young men never got more than a dozen people together when they advertise "Marcus Garvey" as a headliner. They failed to do that last Sunday) therefore no body paid any attention to them, as usual Randolph, it is understood indulged in the customary abuse of Marcus Garvey when he was called upon to speak. The young man must keep himself in the public eye and earn his keep while running after the job of Secretary of State for the State of "Nowhere" and abusing Marcus Garvey is a very cheap but easy way of doing it. David Lloyd George has joined the fight to retain himself as Premier of Great Britain. He wants to hold on as head of the government. This means that somebody will be knocked out in order, because when George goes to battle he always comes out the winner. There is no man in Britain strong enough to stand up to the political punch of David Lloyd George. He has knocked out many of the strong men of the empire, and from present indications he will hold his place as master of the game. You may hate David because of his policy, but you have to admire him for his strength of character. Japan has been very quiet during the past few months. We have not heard from her. That means that she is studiously observing what is going on Japan is no fool. She spent a good deal of her time during the war of 1914-1918 observing the strength of the op posing sides, then she went in, and Sunday October 1 will long be remembered among the members and friends of this division of the U. N L A. when they were cordially entertained by the ladies of the division by a silver tree service. At 2:30 p. m. the spacious hall was crowded when the president Mr Charles Francis, sounded the gavel and called the meeting to order. The opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," was sung, followed by prayer by the chaplain, Mr J. Warner, after which the president in his ever fine style introduced as chairman for the evening Mr J Plummer, associate secretary. The gentleman informed the gathering as to the cause of the meeting, it being to assist the Black Cross Nurses in accumulating funds to procure their banner, books and other necessities Turning to the program, the audience was entertained with an anthem by the choir, "Hoosanna," which was sung in fine style. Mr D Gallimore was called upon for an address. He took for his topic "Race Pride." He spoke of the equilibrium of our women to those of other races; through the ambitions of the women of other races they have gained the respectability of their men and are highly esteemed, and if our women will but follow their examples, eschew all allens, and cling to their own men, surely they, too, shall be placed on the same standard as the other women. He gave a brilliant address and was well applauded. A duet by Mrs. M. Noble and Miss E. Burton was sung, "Hear My Prayer." After this the chairman called the attention to the unveiling of the tree. This tree was painted with silver paint and decorated with crotona, creepers and roses. The tree had four sprouts which were covered with the following colors Red, yellow, blue and green. The ladies representing the colors were respectively Mrs. M. Saltera, R. Johnson, Mrs. P. Smith, and Miss I. Richards. Bags to each color were made to hold the fruits of the tree. During the picking of the fruit gentlemen were appointed to give special addresses. The gentlemen were Mosra. R. T. Webley, C. Franois, H. A. Gilroy and J. Warner. Mr. Wobley, representing the Red, took for his address laih, chapter 43, verses 5 and 6. The gentleman spoke of the scattering and regathering of the Ethiopian race; the power they were prior to their scattering; the manner in which they lived during their segregated period and what they will be when they again assimilate to manhood and womanhood. In an assuming manner he pointed out the ausidious rising of the Ethiopian star. The gentleman spoke enthusiastically, and at the close of his address was warmly applauded. A selection "The Future Lies Before Me." when she came out it was with all she expected. Since then there have been great changes. Whenever she moves again it will mean a better understanding. Japan is sly very sly. The white Socialists of New York are a smart set of fellows. To catch the ear of the colored man and to win the race a favor for fair play they have nominated Randolph on their ticket as a candidate for Secretary of State. These Socialists know that Randolph has not the ghost of a chance being elected as junior at the State House much less Secretary of State. If the time ever comes for a Socialist to be elected Secretary of State or to any high office, you can bet no colored man will be on the ticket at that time. This is a smart way of catching colored people but all of us are not fools If the colored public only knew how disheath and dishonorable the average colored newspaper man is in running his paper it would not pay any attention to what he writes in his little weekly. Ninety per cent of what is written up and given as news has been paid for. If you want to say something against John Brown whether it is true or not the colored newspaper man will print it for you so long as you slip him a dollar. The present fraternity of colored newspaper men will make Jesus look like a swindler and the devil like Michael the Archangel." If you will pay 50 cents a line to do it. If you desire the truth, believe the opposite of what you read in 90 per cent of the colored newspapers published. Someone is betting that Randolph the Negro Socialist nominee for Secretary of State, will poll 25 votes among the colored people in Harlem. This is a very generous estimate of his popularity. The other fellow thinks he will only poll two votes—his and that of his twin brother. It is to laugh as the French say. Chandler Owen advertises that he will make his final thrust at Marion Garvey in New York on Sunday October 15, after which he will leave on a campaign through the Central West to drive out Garvey and Garveyism. This young man really thinks the public takes him serious. He and his pal announced over a month ago that they were to drive Garvey, and Garveyism out of New York. They have had a long time to do it, but Garvey is still here, and "Garveyism" is firmer than it ever was. "Garveyites" in New York do not pay attention to irresponsible folks like Randolph was rendered by Mrs R Johnson and Mr J Cox Mr C Francis, representing the Yellow, spoke from Isaiah, chapter 42, verse 3. He gave a full exposition of God a promise to the Negroes, the great awakening of the slumbering nations and the irresistible forces they are coming with. He spoke of the various conferences of the white race to establish a state of peace chemically in order to fill the chasms they have made in exposing themselves in the war of 1914-18, but said he, "Not until all mankind be justified their shall and will be no peace on this earth." The audience was spellbound from his oratory address, and he took his seat under a thunder of applause. A solo, 'Praise Ye the Lord,' was rendered by Mrs M Noble, followed by an anthem 'On a choir.' Seek Ye the Kingdom of Heaven.' Mr H A. Gilroy, representing the Blue, spoke on the fulfillment of God's promises to the Negro race. He pointed out the ancient glory of Ethiopia, her downfall and oppression and her rising power. In part he said "The Negro who cannot realize the power of this movement is yet blind to himself, his God and all mankind." He made a special appeal to the ladies in keeping close to their pledges in fostering the good and moral principles of the U N I A, so that in the near future they may help to plant the flag of the awakened race in Africa, our Fatherland. He was heartily cheered. Then followed a solo "Our Fatherland," by Mrs. Johnson, and an address by Mr R Scariett. In his speech he pointed out the great aspirations of Negroes through the emphatic power of the U N I A and said that though some of the learned culprits in their choleric manner criticise the movement, nevertheless, irrespective of their sayings, the movement is marching on like a mighty avalanche and will ever be strong as the rock of Gibraltar, never to fall until Africa is redeemed. (Applause) Mr. J Warner, representing the Green, spoke of the Creation and showed how man was made to domicile the earth and woman as helpmate to stand by his side. In his ironic manner he spoke of the genial proxy of our womanhood that of allon, and pointed out that as other men of races esteemed their women, we too must do the same, because they are the flowers of the race and in their cooperative working lies the embryo of an emancipated Africa. He was applauded. Solo by Mrs. L. Philippe Lady First Vice-President of the Cayo Mambi Division, "Glory to God," which was rendered in fine style. Song by and Owen Somebody says. "If Owen goes to the Central West he may not be back in November, as he anticipates, unless somebody takes up a collection for him to defray his traveling expenses. It is most likely that he will be stranded or run out of town. New York will not be responsible for what happens to Owen in the Central West." I have been told that a certain group of Negro uplifters who are organized as some sort of an Advancement Association are opposed to the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which organization seeks to improve the condition of the Negro through his own initiative. This is not to be wandered at, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association teaches Negroes to love and respect themselves as also to develop a society of their own. This Advancement Association spoken of, to the contrary, is organized as a medium by which certain colored men can meet white women and certain white gentlemen can meet colored ladies. They meet at pink teas" and card parties" Have you ever been invited to any of these pink teas" The doctor sends out the invitation and sometimes the parson from Detroit and now and again—well, the late ambassador to Haiti. --- It appears from reports that several anti-Garveyites have been whipped in different parts of the country for attempting to deceive the public in their campaign against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It has been reported that one man is stranded in New Orleans, where he went to preach Garvey must go. Pickens escaped being stranded in Toronto the other day by scraping together $20 for his return expenses. One man was run out of Philadelphia, another out of Wilmington Del., and still another out of Cleveland, a couple of days ago. The anti-Garveyites are not succeeding very well, nor are they very happy. The most ungody fellow is the preacher who has fallen from grace. This being true, what about the preacher from Detroit who is now attached to the Association for the Advancement of Colored People? Why, somebody says, he was run out of town for flirting with too many women. If that did happen in Detroit, what may happen in New York? Well in Detroit he flirted with colored women. In New York he may try to flirt with white ones. He may not get away with it so easily in New York as in Detroit, because even in New York an attempt has been made to lynch for insulting white indies. Parson look out, the wolves are on your trail the choir, "Sweet Sabbath Bells" Address by Mr R N Anderson, who spoke of the rising "Tide of Color" He showed that within a few more years the Negroes shall stand in rivalry to the Caucasian race as the Japanese are today. He asked the parents to educate the boys and girls, so that they on whom lies the future destiny of the race may not be found wanting in the different arts and literatures of modern days. He spoke emphatically and was cheered at the close of the address. Duet by Miss I. Richards and Mr R. Bearlett, Saviour, Lead Me Address by Mr D. Barth who in a powerful manner spoke of the divinity of God and asked for steadfastness in the doctrines and principles of Jesus Christ. His address, which was very encouraging, was cordially received. At this juncture the chairman declared the evening program closed in order that the friends may be in time for the regular mass meeting "The National Anthem was sung, followed by the benediction" At 15 p.m the regular mass meeting was called to order. The opening ode was sung, "From Greenland" & "Ete." The chaplain, Mr J. Warner, officiated in the divine part of the service and in his address implored the steadfastness of his hearers in the universal principles of the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man." The president, Mr Chas Francis, gave an encouraging address. Among the many speakers of the evening was Mrs. L. Phillips of the Cayo Mambi Division. She gave an interesting and inspiring address when she earnestly appealed to the ladies not to get weary in the work before them until the colors of the Red, Black and Green be strewn in Africa and a government under Negroes' sole management be established. A very fine time was spent and at the close of the meeting all members and friends left for their homes, filled with more determination to work for the freedom of Africa. The program for the mass meeting was as follows: Opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountain." Prayer by the chaplain Hymn 606. Address by the chaplain Hymn 607 and collection.

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1922 La Juventud de la Raza Negra Esta Cansada de los Mono-Sabios En los poco meses que tenemos de estar organizando en San Juan una Division de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra nos han salido en el camino una partida de "mono-sabios" de nuestra raza criticando de una manera severa nuestra buena labor Estos sefiores que no conocen el gran fin que perseguimos ni tienen mucho interés en conocerlo, con tratarse de una obra de su propia raza, nos dican que esta asociación no tiene razon de ser aquí, que vemos a dividir la raza, que engendremos el odio, que estamos locos y otras necesadas mas. Los Estadistas de Europa Confirman Actualmente las Manifestaciones Hechas Por Nuestra Organización Hace Algunos Años—Los Pueblos Negros del Universo Tienen Que Unirse Para Contrarrestar la Nueva Avalanche de Destrucción Que les Amenaza Nos tomaremos la molestia de decirles por centesima vez, que la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha sido fundada con el único proposito de unir en sentimiento y en acción a todos los Negros del mundo sin distinción de nacionalidades. Es pues una organización social, amistosa, humanitaria, educacional, digna de que todo elemento de ideas progresistas le preste su mas decidida adhesion y ayuda. Los grandes estadistas del viejo continente van admitiendo gradualmente la verdad de las manifestaciones hecha por nuestra organización hace algunos años, de que otras guerras se desarrollarian las cuales finalmente destruirian muchos de los imperios y naciones existentes y que Alemania se levantaría de nuevo con mayor fuerza y poder, los cuales serían casi irresistibles. Desde la reciente rotura de relaciones entre Turquía y las naciones aliadas, algunos de los grandes estadistas de Europa han hecho manifestaciones que al pie de la letra concuerdan con las profesas de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. El General Ludendorff de Alemania, en una entrevista con un representante de la prensa americana manifestó lo siguiente: Gran Bretana ha cometido dos graves errores al sacrificar su escuadra y al dar la libertad a Irlanda. Ella aun no ha podido apreciar el que los canadienses y australianos no han de responder a su llamada como lo hicieron en la última contragración universal. Grandes contingentes cruzarán de nuevo el océano, pero eso será todo. Vamos a delinear los propósitos fundamentales que persigue "The Universal Negro Improvement Association ha sido fundada para establecer la confraternidad universal entre los elementos de la raza, para levantar el verdadero espiritu de amor y amistad, para ayudar al caido; ayudar a civilizar las tribus atrasadas de Africa; ayudar al desorrolo de las nacionalidades independientes compuestas de negros, nombrar comisionados y establecer agencias en los principales paises y ciudadas del mundo para la representación y protección de la raza, sin distinción de nacionalidades, difundir el verdadero espiritu cristiano entre las tribus africanas, establecer universidades, colegios, academias y escuelas para la educación de la raza y el bienestar del género humano; establecer alrededor del mundo un completo desenvolvimiento de todas las comunidades donde sus miembros son de sangre negra. En el curso de su entrevista, Ludendorff puso enfasis a lo siguientes puntos America (refiriendose a los Estados Unidos) debiera atender a sus propias cuestiones. Alemania ha sido tratada abominablemente, pero el nuevo día de su reconocimiento esta próximo. El Imperio Británico e ta_grruimado, su caida es inminente y no ha de recuperar con la prontitud que Alemania recupera. Los horese están en el fondo de todos los desconciertos actuales. Alrededor de estos principios gira la vida de la organización; es pues, algo de minifesta importancia para la raza de color. El que se oponga al desenvimiento de tan noble idea no puede decir que es amante del progreso sino que, por el contrario, esta dictando a todo pulmon que es un retrogado amante del estancamiento v de la inercia. No selamente esta intelectualidad alemana, sino que también muchos otros capacitados de Europa participan de la misma opinión. Sabemos que mientras se cometan constancias con un grupo de la familia humana, habrá motivo de vucha y la guerra no cesará hasta que no se contribuya por igual a todas los pueblos del universo, la articula la liberada y la democracia. No nos vanagloriamos con la cesión del Imperio Británico o de cualquier otro imp. o no imp. pero si nos vanagloriamos con la caida de la injusticia y el predominio sobre los otros pueblos. Nosotros tenemos que diferir de idea de los "mono-sabios". Ellos pueden seguir creyendo que estas ideas engendrarán odios, nosotros estamos seguros que nos trieran respeto y consideración de las demas razas. Ya que sois refractarios a ayudar al progreso de vuestra raza, ya que admitus ser negros entre los blancos y pretendeis ser blancos entre los negros, ya que no tenes el suficiente valor para compartir con nosotros la lucha, el sentido comun os debe decir que debeis dejar en paz a los que de buena fe queremos dar lo poco que tenemos por el engrandecimiento de nuestra noble raza. Si el pueblo ingles se une con el objeto de reconstruir su propio impuesto nadie tendrá derecho a intervenir; pero si el mismo pueblo sale de su territorio para extender su imperio entre otros pueblos y otras razas, para robarles y explotarles alguien deberá poner coto a esa práctica arbitraria. Al ha sido por siglos y siglos la política de los poderes del viento continente. Europa se encuentra de nuevo en un estado de intranquilidad, la cual podrá resultar en su propio destrucción, ocasionada por las diferentes nacionales que la componen. Si nuestros padres fueron lo suficiente candidos para confiar su suerte a otra raza, para encontrarnos how casi en el mismo sitio que hace 300 años nosotros no estamos dispuestos a imitarlos. Nosotros hemos ojeado la historia para encontrarnos con esta amarga verdad Que no ha existido ningún pueblo minguna raza que se haya ocupado de otra sino para esclavizarla y explotarla y estamos convencidos hasta la medula de que la redención del negro, obra tiene que ser del mismo negro Gran Bretana y Francia contribuyeron en gran parte a la destrucción del Imperio Aleman, como recompensa, Alemania se prepara de nuevo para destruir no solamente a esta dos naciones, sino que también a tbdp pueblo ó nacion que trate de interponerse a la política que esta haya de seguir en el futuro. Del mismo modo que Alemania esta dispuesta a destruir a la Europa entera, los Indus, otros pueblos, oprimidos estan determinados a destruir el poder de sus opresores, con el propósito de aspirar un ambiente de libertad Por esta razón nuestra juventud que esta despierta y sigue con ojos de aguila los acontecimientos contemporaneos y los peligros que se aproximan, viene presurosa todas las semanas para hacerse socio de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, haciendo caso omiso de los conceptos raquiticos de aus muchos anatematizadores Porqué no ha de existir un reinado de confraternidad y amor entre los miembros de la gran familia humana? Porqué el Indu no ha de estrechar la mano al anglosajon su semejante? Porqué el anglo-sajon no ha de estrechar la mano al Negro, su semejante? Este deberia ser el espiritu de la humanidad en esta época de civilización. Tenemos que destruir el espíritu de avaricia que de día en dia germina en el sentimiento humano. Podremos reunirnos en millares de conferencias políticas, industriales, de desarme, etc. pero nada práctico hemos de obtener, hasta que convoquemos a una gran conferencia de hermandad, en donde todas las razas se reunan con el objeto de discutir la situación universal basándose en un principio de confraternidad. Entonces podriamos abrigar esperanzas de paz, de libertad y de prosperidad. Mono-sabios, vuestra cooperación no es necesaria; nos seria muy útil pero ya que no quereis cooperar a vuestra propia causa, cerrad el pico JAIME A. BISHOP. President, San Juan Division, P R La Camara Alta de la Rep. de Cuba Aprueba el Empréstito El anuncio de la aprobación por el senado cubano de la ley en que se autoriza el empréstito exterior de cincuenta millones de dólares para subvenir a las necesidades económicas y financieras de Cuba, sué recibido con gran satisfacción. Esta acción implica la realización del programa legislativo en que ha estado laborando el gobierno cubano por algunos meses a fin de vencer las dificultades que ha sufrido la república insular a consecuencia del descenso en los precios del axilur hace dos años y que determinó en el país una grave depresión en los negocios. Alemania se prepara para la guerra; Rusia se prepara para la guerra; Asia se prepara para la guerra; Africa se prepara para la guerra. Otra conflagración se aproxima y la humanidad se vera de nuevo amenazada por desolación y muerte. Conceptuamos un deber, como miembros de una organización de nuestra raza, el preparar la mente de los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del mundo. Hemos de tomar parte en la evolución de estos acontecimientos, no como auxiliares, sino como un pueblo inteligente que por si propio se abre paço en el camino hacia su completa emancipación. La camara de diputados cubana habla aprobado el proyecto de ley del empréstito una semana antes y convino en las enmiendas adoptadas después por el senado. La aprobación de esta medida, junto con otras de gran importancia que se han adoptado recientemente por el congreso cubano, establecer las finanzas del gobierno y el crédito de Cuba bajo una base solida, opinión de funcionarios bien informados. La legación de Cuba en Washington recibió cable del doctor Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, secretario de estado, anunció la aprobación del proyecto por el senado Tienen entendido que el Dr Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, que todavía está accreditado como ministro de Cuba en los Estados Unidos, venga a Washington probablemente esta semana, para discutir con los funcionarios las relaciones entre los dos paises y posiblemente comenzar las negociaciones sobre el empréstito que obtendra Cuba. Todavia no se ha anunciado si el doctor de Céspedes continuara en su puesto en la gabinete de Zayas, al cual fue designado recientemente, o si reanudara sus labores como ministro de Cuba en los Estados Unidos Si bien no se ha hecho ninguna declaracion oficial, tienen entendido que el mayor general Crowder, que ha estado en la Habana como representante personal del presidente de los Estados Unidos en consulta con los funcionarios cubanos sobre las reformas legislativas necesarias, regresará también a Washington a celebrar una entrevista personal sobre la situación cubana Desde que Crowder fue enviado a Cuba hace casi dos años por el entonces presidente Wilson, este gobierno ha expresado confianza en su capacidad para ayudar a los cubanos a la restauración de la normalidad en la laisa La Colonia Dominicana de Esta Ciudad Conmemora el Dia del Descubrimiento de America La colonia dominicana residente en Nueva York celebró con toda solemnidad una interesante y amena velada literaria-musical conmemorativa del Dia de la Raza y del dia felicisimo del hallazgo de los restos del insigne navegante Cristobal Colon, hecho historico ocurrido al lado derecho del altar mayor de la Basilica de Santa Maria, en la Republica Dominicana el dia 10 de Septiembre del año 1877. La colonia dominicana, inspirada como siempre en su amor a la tradición gloriosa y dispuesta siempre a exaltar los hechos notables de su patria, combinó un programa por demás atractivo y variado en el que figuraron elocuentes discursos a cargo de renombrados oradores varios numeros de concierto que fueron del agrado de la distinguida concurencia que asistió a la fiesta de los dominicanos. La parte más saliente, fue sin duda alguna la apoteosis a Cristobal Colon, número cuidadosamente ensayado y que merecio los mas calurosos placemes por parte del auditorio. Leste festival fue organizado por el comité patriotico de damas, por la representación política y obrera de la República Dominicana y por la junta hispanoamericana pro-Santo Domingo, de Nueva York Un Faro Para Cristobal Colon Cualquiera que sea el lugar preciso del territorio del hemisferio occidental que Colon avisto hoy hace 430 años, y donde quiera que sus restos esten de hecho sepultados hay méritos para la proposición de erección de un faro gigantesco como conmemoración del almirante en la isla de Santo Domingo. Ha habido hombres que han dedicado sus vidas al estudio de su existencia y muchos volumenes han sido escritos para probar puntos en disputa. Es probable que la verdad exacta no sea jamas conocida. Que no hay todavía ningun monumento adecuado en su memoria, no obstante, no puede negarse. Queda por terminar la cuestion de qué emplazamiento debe darsele. Si el lugar exacto en que puso el pie por primera vez en el continente fuera conocido sin lugar a discusión, podria presentarse un buen argumento para escogerio como lugar en qué erigir el faro. Igualmente, también, si fuera indudable que sus restos todavía en la catedral de Santo Domingo, ese lugar podria ser escogido para el monumento. Pero ninguno de los dos puntos esta en claro. Por consiguiente, que por qué no guiarse por dos hechos que ya no se discuten; a saber, que en esa isla fundo Colón el primer pueblo europeo de América y que a ese pueblo fué traido su cuerpo a principios del siglo diecisels, compliantiendo su demanda, para reposar en la catedral de Santo Domingo? Hay buenas bases para requerir que se erija un monumento alli. ¿Qué obsa más adecuada que el que tal monumento fuera un gigantesco faro, visible a distancia en el mar Caribe, la ruta que el indicó primero? Comentarios de un Diario Habanero Sobre el Empréstito El Mundo de la Habana hace sobre el empréstito el siguiente comentario: El empréstito de cincuenta millones de pesos, de haberse procedido con amplia visión desde los instantes en que conocida la quebra del tesor nacional urgia un remedio, de seguro que no hubiera sido preciso Lo ha hecho indispensable la apatía demostrada en ofrecer una formula cubana Conviene que la opcion publica lo sepa, para que no se diga que hay emprestro porque la per-durabilidad de la república asi lo exigia. En realidad se quiso que lo hubiera. No se explica de otra manera que se provocaran las medidas drásticas que han sacudido a la nacionalidad y que han dado una triste lección a los cubanos. Como no queremos que se apela al socio rizado argumento de las exigencias inevitables, es por lo que no consentiremos que el empleo del empréstito se haga en silencio. Es un dimero que paga el pueblo y el pueblo tiene que saber su inversion. Esa es la manera unica de que este sacrificio se accepte heronicamente con plena impunidad de los culpables El Congreso Masónico Reunido en Puerto Rico Inaugura Sus Sesiones SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico —Con asistencia de los delegados de Venezuela, Cuba, Santo Domingo v Puerto Rico se reunio en esta el congreso masonico antillano Dio principio al acto, en el teatro municipal de esta ciudad, el licenciado Lus Mufoz Morales, presentando a los delegados de Venezuela, señores Jose B. Ascant y José Morales, y luego el Dr Gomez Brioso dio lectura a las bases para hacer extensivos a los países representados los beneficios de las instituciones de caracter educativo y benefico creadas o que se creen por cualquiera de las cuatro grandes logias de estos países. La exposición que a seguidas hizo el delegado de Ponce, don Gustavo Rodriguez, dio lugar a que el representante de Cuba declarara que la masoneria marchaba en su país en perfecta armona y a que el delegado Ascani, de Venezuela, manifestara que podria rectificar algunas de las declaraciones del orador respecto al estado de la masoneria en Venezuela. El Senado de Cuba Rinde Homenaje a la República Dominicana El senado de la república de Cuba se puso de pies en homenaje al testablecimiento de la república hermana y acordo dirigir al presidente de los Estados Unidos la siguiente comunicación Honorable presidente de los Estados Unidos de Norte America. Washington, D.C. El senado de Cuba que tengo el honor de presidir acordo hoy dirigir el presente cable de felicitación al gobierno de su excelencia y por su respetable conducto al pueblo de Washington, de Lincoln y de Roosevelt, por haber restablecido la república de Santo Domingo devolviendo a la isla de la libertad los poderes constitucionales de este pueblo heróico AURELIO A. ALVAREZ, Presidente del senado El mismo cuerpo acordo dirigir al presidente provisional de la república de Santo Domingo la siguiente comunicación. Honorable pres. dente provisional de la republica, Santo Domingo. El senado de Cuba saluda en su excelencia al gobierno provisional de Santo Domingo haciendo fervientes votos por el exito más brilante de sus gestiones y por el afianzamiento definitivo de esa heróica república a que tantos afectos nos ligan. AURELIO A ALVAREZ. Presidente del senado. Proyectase la Impantación de un Protectorado Civil en Marruecos El señor López Ferrer, secretario general de la alta comisión de Melilla, recibió a los periodistas, haciendo las siguientes manifestaciones respecto a la implantación del protectorado civil en Marruecos: Ha llegado el momento de la implantación del protectorado en la región de Melilla advirtiendo que esto no quiere decir que se prescinda en absoluto de la labor del ejército. El gobierno desea reducir las fudras reemplazadas sus contigentes con tropas voluntarias y con tropas indigenas las cuales mandará el general Castro Girona llevando esto a cabo rápidamente. El protectorado es creará un cuerpo de interventores mediúnicos oposiciones a las que podrán concurrit elementos civiles y militares We, the officers and members of the New Bedford, Mass. division, wish to send to you this report for The Negro World. When our division held a meeting September 10, we were favored at that time with a report from Mr. Joseph Williams the delegate sent to represent us at the convention held in New York. We were held spellbound by his excellent remarks and in our thoughts we could almost see ourselves present at that great convention. Space will not allow me to quote here some of his remarks to us that Sunday afternoon but I wish to say he impressed us more clearly with a greater determination to press forward and be most worthy members of the U. N. I. A. Sunday afternoon. October 1. our meeting was opened by the president about 4 p.m. and we were favored by a piano solo by Miss Dorothy Haddock and also one by Miss Princila Groves. The principal speaker of the afternoon was Dr Osbourn of the Brooklyn Division, U N L A., and his subject was "Principles and Objects of the U N L A." He read a message sent to the convention from the King of Abysinia by a representative of his present at the New York convention. We must feel our self-government, our own flag, and realize we have power to think. We must follow the Hon. Marcus Garvey because he has exercised his reason for his race. After the address President Oliver Groebn made a few stirring remarks and spoke about the defense fund and submitted papers concerning the same. Our chaplain, Rev. Barbour, also gave us a short address. Always remember, we, as members of this New England division are also glad to hear from strangers that visit our city if they are members of the U N. I. A., because everyone gives us renewed courage to continue in our struggle to do our part toward a Redeemed Africa and we wish only success for the Hon. Marcus Garvey in his work for the better development of the U N. I. A. all over the world. We are in hopes of favoring you with a more stirring report of happenings in our "Whaling City" in the near future. Respectfully submitted, OLIVER GROEBE, President. CHAS. TIMBER, Secretary.

ECHOES OF THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF NEGROES—TRINIDAD KEEPS THE HOME FIRES BURNING For thirty-one days and nights of the month of August the members, friends and well-wishers of the Port-of-Bpain Division of the Universal Negro Im- provement Association have feasted at the tabie of cratory and worshipped the god of literature. ip conformity with tbe program of the convention the president of the Port-of-Spain Division, through the in- atigation of the Commissioner, decided Ubat meetings should be held every night during the month of August. and & few days prior to the opening of the convention the second largest hall in ‘Ube city was secured and preparations made for a convention drive. Under the distinguished chairman- ship of the Hon P L. Burrows, Com- mimioner, the Port-of-Spain Division for this month has succeeded to writ- tng another brilliant page in the book ef history and records of the Universal Megro Improvement Association. ‘The opening day was e remarkable ene, for, gathering from early in the afternoon, members and friends met at Liberty Hall, which was beautifully @ecorated with the fags of all nations, ssture also contributing greatly to en- bance the beauty of the decorations, and bold a rally day. From about seven o'clock, however, tBings took a more brilliant aspect, for within the space of half an hour the tall was literally packed, and there ‘were over « thousand persone present. Evulogistic speeches in honor of His Beoellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, were delivered, addresses lifting the Uni- versa! Negro Improvement Association Into the ethereal regions came from the (mouths of apeakers with an eloquence gecond to none, beautiful recitations on Africa, excellent singing by the night- Ingales of the division, Mra.

Miss Matson, Miss Jemmett and others, fel) upon the ear like the tinkling of ailver bells and won repeated applause: hearty wishes for the success of the convention, which were mupported by @ telegram to the effect, made the opening night # history within a his- tory. Tho Commissioner's opening address for the convention was a tribute and 1s worthy of being placed alongside those of Demosthenes and Cicero for elo- quence and Danie] Webster and Pat- rick Henry for patriotism.
