The Negro World

DU BOIS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF (CERTAIN) COLORED PEOPLE WHO CRITICISES EVERYBODY DU BOIS OF THE FOR ADVANCING PEOPLE FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of "The Crisis" and Director of Research of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, delights himself in writing antagonistically about and against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and all its auxiliaries. This Dr. DuBois is the man who claims to be a Negro leader; who has for a goodly number of years been professing a deep love for his race. Yet this man has made it his persistent practice to attack every real effort made by individuals of the race for the benefit of all concerned. We can well remember his tirade against Booker Washington, the sage of Tuskegee, how he levied his merciless criticism against the able industrial leader, who was endeavoring to place his people upon a sound industrial and economic footing. Despite, however, all he said and did. Washington rose above him, towering like a mighty pyramid above a rocky plain. Not satisfied with what he did to Washington, he is endeavoring now to do all the harm possible to the Universal Negro Improvement Association by placing the organization in an unfavorable position before his innocent readers. If the readers of the "Crisis" and the members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People only knew the real mind of DuBois, and the character of the people who make up the organization, they would not for one minute pay any attention to what they write and what they say. Professional Negro Leaders These professional Negro leaders are only concerned with how much money they can collect from the people who follow them, for the liquidation of their own salaries, rather than for the good that can be done for the people of their race. Apparently anything that threatens as a rival movement of this DuBois coterie places it NEW YORK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1922 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF (CERTA PLE WHO CRITIC INSTEAD OF HELPING TO BUILD, DE- LIGHTS IN TEARING DOWN Leaders Have Wrong Concept of Leadership self in an unfavorable position and elicits immediately the venom of the learned doctor of Atlanta, Harvard and Berlin. Dubois is anxious to tell the world about other people's failures, but he is not willing to tell even his next door neighbor about his own failures. He tries to make out that Marcus Garvey has failed with the Black Star Line enterprise. What Has Dr. DuBois Done? The world knows that the Black Star Line enterprise was a co-operative effort of the people, instituted for the commercial and industrial advancement of the race. It was an honest effort to do good. DuBois harps on the temporary failure of it, but Dubois will not tell us what he has done and succeeded with for the good of the race. Where it the steamship line that he has made a success? Where is his big industrial enterprise that he has successfully pioneered? All that we know of this fellow is that he has made many personal efforts for personal advancement, and he has failed in every one, until he was picked up by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Now that he is in a job, well secure, salary provided for regularly, he is able to write pages on the non-success of the Black Star Line. If DuBois were a constructive leader, since he possesses all the knowledge in the world, he would help Marcus Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Black Star Line to make good. The effort of Marcus Garvey and the Black Star Line is not the effort of individuals to help individuals, but it is an effort to lift the race from an unfavorable condition to one of prosperity. If DuBois has the genius to conceive and ability to execute, why not give ATION N) COLORED SES EVERYBODY them to his race rather than sit at 70 Fifth Avenue and criticise everyone who makes an effort to do so because he lags behind? The Meaning of Leadership We have never criticised the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; we have never criticised Dr. DuBois until the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Dr. DuBois started to criticise us. We are still not criticising them, however, because if we were disposed to do so, we would ask them to present to the world a balance sheet of their activities for the last thirteen years, and thus show us how much they have paid in salaries, personal gifts and donations, as against how much good they have done in supping lynching, which they profess they would do during the period of time they have been collecting public funds. Dr. DuBois has enough at home to criticise rather than to go out of to interfere with the activities of the U. Negro Improvement Association. Which leaders can learn to co-operate and he other to improve the condition of the then, and then only, will they be able to aright the meaning of leadership. Leadership does not always mean eration, destructive criticism, malice, envy, hate. Leadership implies co-operation, we each and every one concerned for the com good. Let Dr. DuBois and the leaders of National Association for the Advancement Colored People learn more about leadership fore they attempt to tell us of their immacul perfection, and of the evil of others. It is a pity that we have to write this way of a man for whom we had so much respect, but we cannot afford to allow him to deceive the public by misrepresenting others who are endeavoring to do their best in the interest of the race. With very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY. President General Universal Negro Improvement Association New York, October 31, 1922. GARVEY CHARACTERIZED AS ONE OF THE GRANDEST MEN OF ANY RACE Has Greater Ambition for the Progress of Black Men Everywhere Than Any Black Man Who Was Ever Born—Has Caused the World to Take the Negro Seriously—Liberty Hall the Birthplace of a New Spirit—Has Launched a Movement for Liberation of Black Men All Over the World THESE SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED BY DISTINGUISHED MEN OF THE RACE—MEET WITH HEARTY APPROVAL OF LARGE LIBERTY HALL AUDIENCE—INCREASED SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF U. N. I. A. IS GENERAL THROUGHOUT THE WEST—NEGROES LEAVING OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND JOINING U. N. I. A.—ARE SICK AND DISGUSTED WITH WHITE LEADERSHIP Able Speeches Delivered by Hon. Marcus Garvey, Professor Ferrus, Lady Davis and Hon. A. J. Fowler—Speak Volumes in Praise of Present Leadership LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night, Oct 29, 1922 — That the followers of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have an abiding faith in the integrity of their leader, the Hon Marcus Garvey, and an ever increasing hope in the movement which has so far done more than any other toward uplifting the race and giving it the inspiration that it will at some time in the not far distant future make itself an independent nation on the Continent of Africa, free from the influences of alien races, was amply demonstrated by the large and enthusiastic audience at Liberty Hall tonight, which applauded hustily when one of the speakers, in speaking of the Hon Marcus Garvey, said that, although some men claim he is a dreamer and an idealist, he had a greater ambition for the progress of black men everywhere than any black man who was ever born. The applause was intensified when it was stated that throughout the country there was an increasing sentiment in favor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and that Negroes everywhere who were once opposed to the organization had come to realize that it was the only Negro organization which had a definite program, and were consequently were leaving other organizations and joining the ranks of the association. Prof. William H Ferrin, who was the first speaker of the evening, laid particular stress on the utterances made by the Hon. William H. Lewis, of Boston, who on Friday night, in an address at Liberty Hall, said that Liberty Hall was the birthplace of a new spirit of work affecting Negro history and the Negro's deity, and that spirit is the spirit of self-reliance. The world, Prof. Ferris declared, is now taking the darker races more seriously Before they thought we were a burden, they regarded us as a pauper race, but now they are beginning to realize that in Ethiopia and in Egypt, too, we laid the foundation of the world civilization, and that now we are beginning to realise our power and our might. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, in her usual pleasing style, made an address that set the audience to thinking. She made a convincing plea for support of Negro industries and deplored the fact that there was not that wholesale support which was necessary to place Negro industries on a firm footing. Hon. H. A. Fowler, Minister of Industries and Labor, must an impressive speech in which he characterizes commitment to Margaret Garvey as the what they hade man and one of the would have to rew of any race on God's of Africans. The audience voiced its whose minds adits sentiment with an inbe equally saturation of a cause, giving convinced with evidence of the fact that the minds of it is said against their War rather thill have an unwerving the most likely sincerity of his purpose circumstances. If to lead the race on to are great, great. Fowler, who has just moral and social California, said that without doubt e West Negroes were appealing about Universal Negro imto the mother sociation as they have scattered children They had become sick many of whom, with all organizations during the cent their on y object the fathers left Afro of an organization that and hardship the race all over the many. Hon. Marcus Garvey, who was the last speaker, delivered an address on the subject of "The Negro; His Greatest Enemy; His Environment, His Rise to Power" The address in full is appended below, and is pregnant with thoughts which could only originate in the mind of a man endowed with the vision of a real leader, and whose heart and soul are entirely wrapped up in the cause of his race and its future destiny. Prior to this address Mr Garvey performed a very pleasing duty in presenting to Captain King, the youngest charge of the Juvenile Corps of the African Legion a hand-me-sabre, designed to him by the members of the service as a token of their appreciation of the services he had rendered in leading and training them. Captain King, in accepting the gift, impressed his appreciation of the spirit in which it was given, and added that he would not unheset the sabre except for the purpose of fostering the ideal which the association was nourishing. Following are the speeches: Prof. Wm. Ferris Speaks Mr William H. Ferris was the first speaker, and said: "I desire to bring you some of the echoes of the meeting here on Friday night. We had three who are internationally known and would have Friday night. One was W. H. Lewis, who rose high in athletics and in the political life of this country; one was David Daniel P. Cohalan, internationally known as the champion of Ireland and nationally known as an advocate of the anti-lynching movement, and Thomas Mahoney, former Assistant District Attorney of Boston. Lincoln Hall and Fauvill Hall you will remember when Mr. Lewis began to speak he said. This is "Liberty itself," and you all applauded. You heard his power that he put in his speech. Why was it? I heard him maybe in Fauvill Hall, Boston, when with the same voice he said. This is the power that he brought through out the world because it has launched a great movement. Fannell Hall launched the movement for the liberation of America and Liberty Hall launched the movement for the liberation of black men all over the world. The Birthplace of a New Spirit "The world sees in Liberty Hall the birthplace of a new spirit at work affecting Negro history and Negroes' destiny and that spirit is the spirit of self-reliance. When a man can depend upon himself, when a man can look to himself for his own inspiration, nothing can stop him. Mr. Lewis' Opinion of Marcus Garvey "Then you all heard that Mr Lewis said resarding the Ion. Marcus Garvey. He said some men claim he is a dimer, some men claim he is an idealist, but, even so, he said, he has a greater ambition for the progress of black men everywhere than any black man who was ever born. (Applause) "Then again I was interested when Judge Cohalan spoke of power and money being the things that men covet. We have been preaching and praying and singing songs to God and blessing the Lord, and while we have been doing that and hating our hopes on heaven and talking about what is going to happen 'when I lay this body down, white men have been getting power and money, and those are the things which lift men in this world Power and Money "I believe that the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its constructive program and policy is aiming to put in the hands of the Negro power and money. The Turk today is more respected than he was five years ago. He was regarded as the stick man of Europe that England could drive out of Europe at any moment, but today the Turk looms up so formidable and proves such a menace that they have blamed Lloyd George for not handling the Eastern situation, and he was forced to resign and go down and out "Those four men who sat at Versailles (Woodrow Wilson, Clemenceau Orlando and Lloyd George) have all gone out of power Why" They had a great opportunity such as never has been presented to mankind before With the world tired of war and desiring peace, these four men endeavored to shape the destinies of the world, but they looked rather to their own countries than to humanity The mills of the gods grind slow, but they grind exceeding fine, and despite his brilliance as an orator, despite his versatility as a statesman, despite his ability and resourcefulness to meet a new situation, the English people felt that while David Lloyd George measured up to the requirements of the world war, he did not measure up to the requirements of future conditions. Taking the Darker Roses Seriously The world is now taking the darker races more seriously I saw a cartoon in the Chicago Tribune which I spoke about in the Negro World last week, where the Chicago Tribune is worried about the Negro's desire for equality and for a world empire. Before they thought we were a burden; they regarded us as a pauper race; they regarded us as a begging race; but now they are beginning to realize in Ethiopia and in Egypt we laid the foundation of the world's civilization and that now we are beginning to realize our power and beginning to realize our right. When the Negro Awakes When the Negro Awards I can only close by reminding you of what Mr. Lewis said again. He said that the emblem of the Confederacy was a Negro sleep on a bale of cotton with a mule standing by. Jefferson Davis looked at that thoughtfully and stroked his beard. He was asked why he looked so serious and he said he was wondering what was going to happen when the Negro wake up; and said Mr. Lewis, Marcus Garvey was waked up the Negro so that he is now, going to build enterprises and get in commercial relations with his own kith and kin and develop a continent and out of this THE NEGRO WORLD, JURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1997 awakened soul life of the Negro not only will steam ships and industries come, but liberation and freedom of our people everywhere (Applause). Lady Davis Speaks Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis said, It is inspiring to face or night night conditions. No one can come to Liberty Hill, whether they come in a critical state of mind or come in a friendly state of mind without being impressed with the Universal Negro Improvement Association that it hates to say that it is here for business that it tries to lead the way at blaze the path for 400,000,000 Negroes of the world (Applauder) You cannot listen to the Black Star Line Land nor to the appointed chair without being impressed with the great must all talent of the Negro We will acknowledge it. We all admire it, and we all must support it. Support Negro Industries We have industries here in Harlem that need your support and as I look on this vast audience I said, Suppose all these people would support our grocery stores and would support our laundries. Why don't you try it just for a week and see how they will flourish? I wish I could judge everyone of you to that support. You talk about them, you point to them with pride and you say they ought to be supported, but you go down and support the Jew, you have made him flourish in Harlem while your own industries are lacking your support. This is a shame upon the Negroes of Harlem. We are looking towards redemption of our Motherland but we must first begin the work right here in Harlem—right here where we are "put down your buckets where you are." Beyond the atrocities perpetrated in this country on our race, beyond the synchling and burning, beyond the ostracism, beyond the hybrad monster prejudice; beyond the great surging billows of the Atlantic Ocean lies Africa looming grand and magnificent—a goal worth dying for—but it takes work For the accomplishment of this great purpose. It takes work—not spasmatic work, but work every day and every hour with that end in view. United as Never Before And so the Negroes of the world were never more united than they are today, through the great forces set in motion by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They were never more in need of unity than they are today in this Western Hemisphere. So let us then be united, let us be the great force for good that is the hope of all of us, let us renew our pledges to our race and to our Fatherland, Africa. "Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait." Hon. A. J. Fowler 8peaks The next speaker was Hon A J Fowler, Minister of Industries and Labor, who said he was just back from California and in his trip throughout the West he was more convinced than ever that the provisional government of Africa has attracted the attention of the whole world and today the Hon Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association stand as the only mouthpiece for 400 000 000 Negroes the world over. In California," the speaker said "as well as in other parts of the country that I have visited I find Negroes turning to the Universal Negro Improvement Association as they have never done before. In California especially they are becoming slick and disguised with all organizations that have at their head white men, they want to belong to an organization that is governed by Negroes for Negroes, and they are turning to this organization. I am reminded just now of the little boy that had some dogs for sale. He was in a big city where they were holding a Democratic convention and he said: "I have got some puppies for sale—Democratic puppies—at 80 cents a piece." The next few days the Republicans held a convention in the same town and he said: "I have got some Republican puppies a dollar a piece," and one man who had seen him before said: "Bon, the other day you told me these were Democratic puppies and that they were 60 cents, now you say they are Republican puppies and are one dollar a piece." "Yea," said the boy, "they have got their eyes open now. (Laughter.)" Negroes Have Their Eyes Open I want to tell you that the Negroes throughout the West and California especially, have got their eyes open now and they see that same white man that held you in bondage for 800 years; that same white man that despoiled the women of your race; that same white man that burned you at the stake, that lynched you and drove you through the streets, that same white man who refused to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill at the head of an organization claiming to be an organisation for the advancement of Negroes. They are tired of belonging to that sort of organization, they are coming to the Universal Negro Improvement Association—an association that has at its head one of the greatest Negro men one of the grandest men of any race on God's green earth today. They are joining this organization because they want to redeem their motherland because they want to lay a foundation—an economic foundation on which the boys and girls of this race may stand A Message From California A message from California And on today I am bringing you back a message from California. I have visited every division there and wher- never I have gone I found men who were sent to the organization before the last convention coming in now and Leading Negroes in California are coming into this organization today because of the fact that they realize this is the only organization that has a program. They are disgusted with an organization that has no program, but the tearing down of an organization that is improving the race all over the world. So they tell you tonight that they are with you even as David was with Abalone, even as Don was with Pythas and they will stand by you until this provisional government becomes a government in fact and until the Red the Black and the Green shall float over our mother land and Africa shall be indeed the land of the free and the home of the brave. (Great Applause.) Hon Marcus Garvey Speaks Hon Marcus Garvey Speaks Hon Marcus Garvey spoke as follows. My subject for tonight is a complex one. The Negro—his greatest enemy, his environment, his rise to power. The Negro is a problem created so by the desire of other races to keep him in a position or a condition out of which he will never rise to re-establish that away, that power that he once held. The other races know as much and probably more about the history of the Negro than the Negro himself. All students of history know that once upon a time the Negro held civilization in the palm of his hand. While the other races of the world were regarded as savages and barbarians the Negro in his own country held away and domination. He lost that power, that sway and that dominion and over since it has been the disposition of the world to keep him down and to prevent him from rising to that power that he once extirpated. For over three hundred years the Negro has been a chattel—an economic and mental slave in this western world. Forced Into a Condition of Inferiority The problem today is one where he is forced to an inferior position within the nation wherewhere he finds himself, let that nation be America, let it be Great Britain—wherewhere the Negro finds himself in this western world he is forced into a condition that stamps him as the inferior man of the races. And not only in this western world but throughout the entire universe he is relegated to a position that stamps him as an inferior race. This inferiority is one that is arranged and planned for. This inferiority he is bound to accept by the dominant force and power that rules over him. An Age of Progress We live in a time in an age of progress, in an age of civilized human development. We live in an age when all races and nations and people clamor for freedom, liberty and democracy. We are also regarded as human beings and we have also started to give expression to the desire for those things—liberty, freedom and democracy. In expressing this desire, the world that has created us a problem does not openly say to us that we shall never attain them, but the world around us in its arrangement of the conduct of its affairs affecting the entire human race has made things so that we will never race to the desires that we have by their effort or by their assistance. The environments they create around us are of such as to lead the thoughtful man to no other conclusion than that the Negro is lost—absolutely lost in the civilization of the day as well as the civilization of the future if he depends upon the consideration to be extended him from any source other than his own. The sober-minded Negro leader can come to no other conclusion seeing things as they are than that this race of ours is lost—lost in the vast wilderness of prejudice where the determination reigns that you and I shall never rise to that higher plane of freedom, liberty, of democracy, that is desired by all other races. Three environments that are created we come in contact with every day in our American civilization, in our British civilization. The environments are of such that it takes strong men of strong character to live down and to rise above them. The environments are not created by chance, the environments are created through a scientific disposition on the part of the creature to influence you in the direction that they want us to go. Little do we know that everything we see in this American civilization, everything we see in this British civilization and in the civilization all over the world is created not for chance but created for some purpose, and the purpose is to the benefit of those who created the environment. You and I are placed in an environment created by the other fellow to lead us just into the direction that he wants us, and headling we go day after day, getting further away from that spirit of initiative that should lead us to become an independent people with environments of our own, with a civilization of our own. Day after day my heart blends within me seeing as I do the slackness of method by which this mighty race of ours go on and on fitting itself to the other fellow's creation, the other fellow's environment, which is bound to lead us into disaster. in this great world of ours we form Seventh Avenue at 132d Street LAFAYETT THEATRE Direction of COLEMAN BROS. Matinee Daily—Midnight Show Friday NOW PLAYING Everybody Says It's a Great Show THE GEORGIA PEACHES A bright, snappy, musical comedy, with 16 ripe, luscious, fresh products from the orchard. CONTINUOUS VAUDEVILLE CONCERT EVERY SUNDAY a part, the part that we form brings us in contact with and in competition with other races who also form a part of this world and this universe. The question of competition is one that suggests a condition of advantage the one over the other. The competition that exists today is that of the one race never allowing the other to rise above them because in the case of the one race above the other some variety comes the imposition of all kinds of evils upon the one that is under by the one that is above. History teaches the world that you are copied the ascendency in human affairs, that you are ruled. When you were in power you exercised power in the same way the other races are exercising it now. They suffered from the imposition upon them of your power and they have in their own way decided that you shall never be placed in such power as to exercise upon the airway that you once exercised. It is a competition between the different races of the world for power. The great white race has by its study and application of the material on earth lifted itself above all the other races of the world and it is the resolution and desire that they maintain their power at all ages. They in their great power have created these environments and they create these environments in such a way as to assist them in main aiming that power that they deserve to hold. You and I come in and contest lay after day with this environment and unions jointly contribute to the permanence of that other man a power to subject us and make us slaves without knowing what we are doing. The Universal Negro Improvement Association comes with a program—a program that seeks not only physical emancipation but spiritual and mental emancipation of the entire race. We say that it is our duty that we as a people as one of the independent units of the great human family to create an environment of our own—to create a civilization of our own. Can we do it? The answer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is that you cannot successfully develop an environment of your own—a civilization of your own—so long as you live in the immediate presence of another man's environment and civilization, unless you have character and independence enough to ward off the dangers of such environment. In this Western World we find ourselves under American civilization and British civilization and we have not the strength of character which will make us strong enough to throw off this condition which the other fellow through its environment impo beive there are ten men in Libia, that who seem to realize and appreciate the great warfare that is going on day after day, a warfare that will make for an African environment and an African civilization all our own. Some of us start with the desire to throw off such an influence, and after a day, a week or a month or a year we go back to the same aliph environment which makes us just what we were. How many have professed the faith of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have frown back under the influence of the other fellow What do we find? We find that the men who ought to be active in this fight for the ascendancy of African ideals are the men who seem to pay absolutely no attention to this great need. I say here from Liberty Hall that there is absolutely no hope for the Negro living as part of the white man's civilization—living in an environment created by the white man. There is absolutely no hope for him, except that of a slave, that of a peon, that of a serf. That is what I see, and that is what I know, and that is the cause of my fight for this great African ideal. For a nation or a people to rise that nation or that people must have an ideal all their own. No race can successfully carry out or perfect an ideal living under the influence of an alien nation and alien people. We are bound to imbue their ideas, we are bound to fall a prey to their civilization and the white man has told you plainly that you shall never be an equal part of his civilization. Therefore you and I shall be always as serfs, you and I shall always be as slaves as long as you are in conact with his environment. As I study this great question of race I can come to no other conclusion than that the greatest enemy of the Negro is no one else but the Negro himself, the Negro to himself is untrue, and because he fails to be true to himself no one else will be true to him. The Universal Negro Improve- ment Association a great fight for a place in the universe for this mission is not as much to fight the ones who is opposed to us but to get away from the folks who own race. We were at home in the world without a program. We were left alone in America a few years with a program. We were alone in the West Indies without a program we had enough way to walk with our program in the city it was that other people took hold our identity and for a certain period of time gave us a leader's p that led us into danger. But the L. L. a new day with the right kind of leadership Do you know that the I I give you today, in the greatest danger to the rise of our Why? Because he has not bel the education of the other fellow without first preparing himself for better he has pointed him out a nation, an environment that was not his, and he has found it vision of his race. He has fathed to himself with that vision that will aid his people in the right way. The great east trouble is how can we stifle the wrong influence and guide it in the right direction? I am sure we have things but there are heats that turn me to the very one because very second fellow I come in contact with who is able to read and write one who is trying to get overmount at the expense of his brother who is not as for unite as himself. How can we rise under our environment? We may live for a thou and years as long as we continue as we are going and I never be better off than we are now. It is alarming but nevertheless it is true. We started life with the wrong idea, with the wrong notion, our race cannot afford to follow in the footsteps of the other fellow. You will see the white man wants to be rich overnight, but can you afford to follow the white man? You must remember that there is a great difference between the Negro race and the white race. The white race has a published self and is using its power to dominate every other people. The black man is just getting out of his slavery. Therefore, if you fail to create an environment of your own and follow in the civilization of the other fellow that he refuses to admit you to on equal terms, it means that you are bound to pay the price. Our race calls for a different program to the program of the other fellow. The Negro leader, I repeat, who believes that his first day is to get on overnight at the expense of his unfortunate brother is the greatest enemy to the race and not the white man because a race cannot rise higher than its leadership. I warn you from Liberty Hall tonight, and I do it more so because it paines me to see the carole stress and stillness within this race of ours. It does not only affect us in America, but it affects us throughout the British world and throughout the French world. The disposition in France now is to lose sight of that racial vision that should contribute to make us a free and independent people. What happened? We hear of Sikh the other day after knocking out Carpenter the great idol of France the first expression that came from him when he was asked certain questions was that he was sorry he was not a white man. That strange psychology is brought to us by the environment around us, and except we develop a character strong enough to throw off these devilish things brought to hear upon us for no other purpose than to dissipate the strength of this race of ours, our doom is sealed. Men of Liberty Hall men of the world of this race of ours, I am appealing to you. You are in danger. This white man's civilization is wrecking this race of ours, except you develop a character, a mental and spiritual will strong enough to throw it off. A pat on the shoulder, a shake of the hand coming from the source that I speak of, are contributing agents toward that influence that will keep you and me down—where it is planned that we should be. I trust God will touch your hearts in Liberty Hall tonight to realize the importance of what I am saving. I say to you again you educated men of New York and throughout the world, that the greatest enemy is not the white man but ourselves. Let me tell you that we are spelling our doom when we fail to realize that we cannot rise higher than the masses of our race, as well as the masses cannot rise higher than the leaders of the race (Aplause) 413 1731 AVENUE Downtown, large light front door with large windows.

Alderman Harris of New York Indorses Dr. Siegert's ANGOSTURA BITTERS THE CRISIS DRAWS THE COLOR LINE, CHARGE Withdraws Negro Advertisement at Request of a White Man Bv JAMES M. WEBB I am one who knows that The Crisis Magazine is not a courageous magazine. I mean, it has drawn the color line by the dictation of a white man and this dictation was executed by the Negro business manager and approved by its Negro editorial editor Some time ago I had an advertisement running in The Crisis Magazine under the headline, 'The Black Man's Part in the Bible,' which is in book and picture form. The printed matter shows that Jesus, Solomon, the Queen of Sheba and other Biblical ones were of the black decent and also shows that the black man was the father of civilization. The picture portrays Jesus as a colored man. All of this matter I have received copyrights for from the U. B. Copyright Office. Among the many replies that I received from my advertisement in The Crisis, a certain white gentleman got the picture of Jesus as a colored man and the printed matter that showed that Jesus, Solomon the Queen of Sheba and others were of Negro decent out of the book. The printed matter gives him over several hundred years of Biblical references of the Jews and Negro amalgamation history in Africa on the River Nile and in the 'and of Canaan on the borders of the Mediterranean Sea. The gentleman admits to me in a letter that he had not examined all of my Biblical references, and inasmuch as he said that he has found what he has read untrue, he came to the conclusion that the rest of the references were untrue. To attempt to show me that he was a Biblical scholar and that I was not a Biblical enthologist, he sent me the following statement by saying that the Ethiopians are not mentioned in the Ebile until after David and Solomon's time. I advised him to read the twelfth chapter of Numbers and first verse, which states that Moses married an Ethiopian woman. The gentleman wrote to The Crisis's Magazine on opposing my advertisement. "If The Crisis wants to make white friends it cannot do so by inserting such an advertisement as you" The above words are some of his own statement. The business manager of The Crisis, Mr Augustus Granville Dill, wrote me that the gentleman had criticised my printed matter, therefore The Crisis could not carry my advertisement. As Mr Dill delivered the white man's statement and of investigating my printed matter, in my opinion he seemed to the rule of Uncle Tom." Letter to The Crisis The following matter is a part of my registered letter to The Crisis concerning the gentleman. Mr _____ shows that he is either Biblical history blind or does not want to believe the truth as it is recorded in the Bible. Inasmuch as some of the white daily newspapers have received my matter of "The Black Man's Part in the Bible" and have brought forth favorable comments I kindly ask Dr W. E. B Du Bois as editor-in-chief of The Crisis to review my matter and tell the readers of The Crisis through its columns a union of the same so they will know that you reviewed my work I hope that my letter is plain enough to The Crisis that my matters are valuable for the money I ask for them through The Crisis. It is not quantity of paper I am trying to sell to the people nor novel matter, nor any of my theories, but it is pure quality matter of Biblical facts defying prejudice ignorance and narrowness of minds and hearts. I hope to hear from you as soon as possible. This letter was registered to the Crisis with a return card to me, but I failed to receive an answer from the Crisis from that day to this I thank I have had the patience of Job, so it is up to me to arouse the Crisis and let it know I am still in the land of the living and demand an answer soon. Comments on the Book The following comments show that my matter is recommendable and valuable, so I have nothing to fear of criticism: *Elder James M Webb in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the greatest one, was black. Mr Webb's work is able and thoughtful, whether the Anglo-Saxon believes him or not. Mr Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in biblical history."—Seattle Daily Post-Int'l gencer. The following comments are from my book and lectures that Jesus was of Negro descent: "To whom it may concern: I beg to say, after hearing Elder Webb, on the subject that the blood of the Negro coursed through the valus of Jesus and Solomon. I am frank to say I have seldom, if ever, enjoyed such an intellectual treat. The position he assumes as the subject of his lecture touching the Hamitic blood and race is difficult and requires a practical knowledge of biblical and historical fora, but I am pleased to say that he not only shows himself an expert, but the master, of the situation. And I commend him to the ministry and churches of the race of every denomination. Truly. "BISHOP H. M. TURNER" The evidence submitted by Elder Webb, tending to prove that the Saviour of mankind was a black man, seems to be sufficient to put those who oppose the proposition upon their proof. Now that the claim of evidence presented by Mr. Webb appears so complete it is strange that none of the delivers into the biblical records THE NEGRO WORLD, SA Schomburg Tears Center Woodson To Pieces for Historical Narrowness BY ARTHUR A. SCHOMBURG We expected, upon opening Dr Carter Woodson's 'The Negro in Our History, to find the treatment of the Negro in Africa from a cursory examination" based on the people who were in touch with them—Iban Batuta, Leo Africanus, and Idrist, and Dr Barth's excellent works, not to mention others. His premises are not based on a careful examination and research of the sources, but rather on speculative opinion and finding of latter-day writers The people of Africa at one time were, according to certain records, such as to compel Dr Woodson to reach a conclusion that they we are larger of the mulatto type. Whereas, an) one who has traveled extensively in Africa must reason against the author, for it appears that the masses of Africans must have been decided of pure black stock, becoming lighter by degree and time. The Azumie a or Ibysu mans may always be distinguished from the original, natives of Africa. Ludolph (Hist 11.1e 4) is of the opinion that in the colony of Abyssinia in race as well as climate must have contributed to form the Negroes of the adjacent and similar regions. The hand of nature has flattened the nose of the Negroes, covered their heads with shaggy wool, and tinged their skin with inherent and indelible blackness (p 150). The word culture is used with much freedom and looseness in the treatment of the movement of people in their relation to early civilizations. It is too big a subject to be condensed in a paragraph. Dr Woodson would have use the Arabic Drawings no color line these Arabs blended readily with the Negroes and gave rise to the prominence of certain Arabic blacks represented by Antar (p 112) Gibbons in his Decline and Full of the Roman Empire relates that the believer in Mohammedanism has no scruple between his wives and the females attached to his shame. It is not a question of drawing lines but of religious belief and peculiar toleration of cult. A little further on the same page we find 'Carrying their civilization later into Spain the Africans attained distinction there also, for a Negro poet resided at Seville and in 1575 a Negro found a town in lower Morocco'. We know there was a famous Latin poet of Negro blood in the city of Granada by the name of Juan Latino who, born during 1515 in North Africa, was brought a slave to Spain where his master Gonzalo d Cordova resided. To state that Latino resided in Seville is to put in the results of students' information which is incorrect. An examination of Antonio's Bibliography (p 716), Tleckner's "History of Spanish Literature" (3 vol.) or any Spanish encyclopedia, would have helped to correct the a ror. The fact that he attained to the distinction of being a learned professor at the University of Granada and printed two books during 1573 makes it more painful why an exhaustive investigation was not made. That 'Negro founded a town in lower Morocco' is nothing of consequence unless definite informa- have not advanced the sensational propositions before. Not only was Christ a Negro, but it seems that Bolomon, who has been held up through all the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also—Boatte Times. My advertisement was printed in six of the leading colored weekly papers and I received good results from all parts of the United States, Canada, Alaska, Isles of the seas, Europe and Africa. I received numerous testimonials from these places indorsing by work. As the Crisis has asked the Universal Negro Improvement Association for a balance sheet of their year's business, I deem it wise to ask the N. A. A. P to instruct the Crisis to balance up with me.

Not Good November 1st or the 15th. tion is given to lift it to the realm of fact wo thy of being chronicled. The opening of the book dealing with Africa is unfortunately too fragmentary to give the reader a grasp on the early culture of that vast continent in whose bosom the most important vestiges of civilization is embodied in her many apochs of history. The book takes for granted opinions, whereas the histo lan should of necessity deal with naked facts. A man in need of labor purchases additional wives to supply that need, and a wife is usually worth so many cows. As very few slaves are required and there is often a scarcity of minds, cannibalism is practiced as the taste of human flesh does not differ materially from that of other animals (p. 4) It is unfortunate for a history in the form of a text book for school children to be marred by such improper statements. Can Dr Woodson believe that the young mind should face the comparative remark that the taste of human flesh does not differ from other animals? Dr Woodson would have us believe that Negroes were so common in the city of Seville, Spain. In 1474, that Dominand and Isabella nominated a celebrated Negro Juan de Valadillo as the Mayoral of the Negroes in that city. The writer has quoted this as from W E B Du Bois's *The Negro* (p 146). As this is somewhat misleading set us examine the source, Oruzitz de Zuniga author of the *Ecclesiastical and Secular Annals of Seville* 1216-1671 (v xii, 1475, p 374) Madrid, 1677 gives us the transcript of the patent creating Valadillo a Negro Count Arthur Helps in his excellent work Spanish Conquest in America, etc" (v i, p 32). London 1455 commenting on the case, says. But the above merely shows that in the year 1474 there were many Negroes in Seville, and that laws and ordinances had been made about them" Dr Du Bois in "The Nego o" (supra) says. We find for instance, in 1474 that Negroes were "common" in Seville. Dr Woodson goes one better on Dr Du Bois when he said "they were so common." Neither Dr Du Bois nor Dr Woodson can show any right for adorning language at the expense of fact Diego O tiz de Zuniga in his able work only stated from the records that outside the small Catholic village with its Roman Catholic Church and its brotherhood there was nothing to show that they were as common as we find them in Harlem. Sometimes paraphrasing is a dangerous thing. Here we have another instance. It would have been more appropriate for the Doctor to have called the dl coverer of the city of Cibola, Esteban, as his foot note from Channing History, (p. 15. v. 1) proves rather than for him to have dubbed him dimutively Estebanecio, even George Parker Winslow in his elaborate work on the "Coronado Expedition" 1540-1542" printed in the fourteenth annual report of the Bureau of Ethnology (p. $48), holds to the dignity of the proper name of "Esteban" (or Stephen) Delving into the slavery of the West WOMAN HELPED FR EDIT HIS A Letters and Journal of The Throw New Light on Per WOMAN HELPED FRED DOUGLASS EDIT HIS ANTI-SLAVERY PAPER Letters and Journal of Thomas Wentworth H'gginson Throw New Light on Period Before the Civil War Did you know that an Englishwoman helped Frederick Douglass edit his "North Star," the anti-slavery weekly newspaper, with which he struck such great blows for the abolition of slavery in America? "The Letters and Journal of Thomas Wentworth Higginson," just published by Houghton Mifflin Co. 4 Park street, Boston, Masa. (price. $4.10; 358 pages), gives this information. Higginson's letter which refers to the above incident was dated Rochester, N. Y., January, 1885, and states: "I have seen Miss Griffiths—a nervous, energetic little Englishwoman, who manages all the anti-slavery in Rochester, Frederick Douglass included, whose paper she partly edits." Here the letter ends—but what an insight this gives into this high type of white people, who made up the abolition group. Another letter of Higginson's dated January 29, 1862, uncovers a second Barbara Fritchie . . . She was Annie Gillman, married to a Baltimore Unitarian minister by the name of Bowens, and one of the leading white families of the State. Higginson says of her that although she came originally from Charleston, B C, she was strong for the Union. "She bung out the Stars and Stripes when no one else in Baltimore did." She also sent her little boy of five through Baltimore streets with a Union cookade on although her family were rebels. The high-class Baltimore whites and the mob. said Higginson, were for seceding from the Union. Only the middle class of white Baltimoreans were loyal to Abraham Lincoln and the Union. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, himself, typifies the best traditions of the white race in America. Born of good New England stock, he began his career as a clergyman. His parishioners gave him the choice of vacating Indies, while he states that it "it was most unfortunate" (p 28) he says it can not be compared with the slavery of our own borders. For slavery in the West Indies was not carried out in a uniform system of cruelties. It was modified according to the government under whose control the island was subject. There was a great deal of religious toleration due to the tradition and customs of the nation involved. But Dr Woodson, no doubt, while he is conversant with his Journal of Negro History, seems not to be acquainted with Baron de Humboldt's *Travels to the Equinotrical Regions of America* (3 vis.) it seems as if the statement is prompted by U.B. Phillips American Negro Slavery" but it is a matter of fact that the Latina did not practice interbreeding for the purpose of selling their own offspring in the market places. Cavin Falbanks in How the Way Was Prepared" (18) was careful to relate the facts. They practiced miscegenation because the economic conditions existing in those days made possible the intimate relations with slaves. A peep into Cokes West Indies, Bryan Edwards West Indies (6th edition) Southey a Chronological History of the West Indies (3 vis.) would have aided Dr Wood on to a more stimulated and definite understanding of the slavery of the West Indies. We do not feel like going into 310 pages to show omissions and paina errors and enter into conflicting conclusions for a book seeking to enter the school' room as a text-book with subject unrelated for the immature scholar in quest of positive information not after controversial arguments leading to endless discussion. For instance we quest on the propriety of the extensive treatment of miscegenation as dealt by the author to place before school boy. We need not parade before their eyes the palpable sins of omission and commissi n for which they are, as a race, irreponsible. Perhaps Dr Woodson forgot that Dr James W C Pennington, a runaway slave of Maryland, printed at Hattford in 1841 a "Text Book of the Origin of the Colored People". But why claim that William C Nell and William Wells Brown are the "first actual historians produce by the race"? What proof is there that Denmark Vesey was born in St. Domingo, where it is known he was born in St Thomas, Virgin Islands? Why didn't Rev John Marrant who converted the Indians around the State of New York, receive that meed of praise he is entitled to in preference to a good many living persons who adorn the pages of the history? A charitable appreciation for those who helped Dr Woodson with are prints, engravings, etc., would not have in any way harmed him in the preface it is one of the few books lacking this 'feature of long-established custom. The book is splendidly and profusely illustrated, but unfortunately out of tune with the rules of chronology. There is much information promo-ciously scattered through the 342 pages for those who may want to read and enjoy the "dry bones of history." his pulpit or ceasing to speak about freeing the slaves. Higginson quit the pulpit and became an ardent abolitionist. During the Civil War he resigned his commission in a white Massachusetts regiment to command the First South Carina Regiment of Colored Volunteers. One day Colonel Higginson's regiment was on dress parade. He heard a white soldier behind him say, "... By ——! To think of my living to see a nigger regiment drill better than the 104th Pennsylvania. Higginson tells of a colored sergeant in his regiment who was a carpenter by trade, and used to earn $2.50 a day. With six others he built the town of Micanopy, Florida. He would not learn to read or write, because it exposed him to too much suspicion and watching. Another sargeant of Higginson's could not read, but he had such an extraordinary mind that he called the roll every morning from memory. After the war, Colonel Higginson entered the banking firm of Lee, Higginson & Co. in Boston. He was the "grand old man" of Harvard, and gave the university the Harvard Union building, which is a club-house for all the students, without regard to color, race or previous condition. The Harvard athletic field was also his gift. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Md.

Please reopen implicit credence that pronation of the for going will render ever grateful and appreciative beyond conception. You're most respectfully Clirence A Warner, Chairman Great Mendow Prison Comstock N Y The colored population of Great Mendow Prison begs the privilege of addressing you. The role of our race is not an enviable one among the peoples of the world. Most unfortunate is the death of colored men in prison. Deprived of freedom and divested of all privileges, social status and the toleration, which even a colored man enjoys in our progressive (?) age, the lot of our incarcerated brethren is pittable indeed. No words can adequately do justice to the sorrow and desolation of men—colored men—in prison, and we will not dwell upon it. A tradition long observed behind the gray walls in the celebration annually of 'The Day of Emancipation' of the Nerro in America. Through the humane and noble assistance of our esteemed warden, Hon. IT'S TOASTED LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTE it's toasted. This one extra process gives a delightful quality that can not be duplicated William Hunt, we are enabled to commemorate this day with religious services, entertainment by local talent, and a feast, thus enjoying a spiritual revival and a ray of sunlight in a dreary and somber environment. We feel that you will not deny us YOUR material contribution, which will help us in the躲藏tion of the great day of amancipation. Any sum, however slight, will aid us, and our heart-bottom appreciation goes out to you in these lines: In the day of amancipation we find solace and cheer.

Du Bors on Dr Leroy Bundy. whose ‘atest acquired ttle 1s Sir Leroy Bundy A 100- word editorial in The Negro World occasioned a 5,000-word article in the Crisis. Hence we can only conclude “Great 1s ‘The Negro World.” It seems to us that the editor of the Crisis became needlessly wlarmed. Neither Dr. Bundy nor The Negro World accused the N A. A.C. P. of theft. All The Negro World made inquiries about was concerning the balance sheet of the N. A A.C P regarding the Bundy defense funds. The Crisis on Dr. Leroy Bundy + Dr. Du Bois states that instead of $50,000 being collected by the N. A. A. C, Fina $180 expended jor “East >t. Lous relief and legal defense” that $6,039.14 was collected hy the national office of the N. A. A. C. P. and the St Louis branch He shows how this was expended and states that a deficit of $623 06 was made up from their -anti-lynching and mob violence fund raised before the East St Louis riots. - The N. A. A. C. P. va. Dr. Bundy On pages 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 Dr Du Bors details at great length the cause of the dispute between the N. A.A C P and Dr. .” Bundy. He safd that the case of Dr. Bundy seemed an ideal one becadse he was understoothto be “a successful professional man, a leader of his local,group in East St. Louis, who, when riot was adyiséd the colored people to arm themselves, and that is he-was arrested, thrown into jail and accused of mur- iting to riot.” Counsel had been secured, including the Nagel, former Secretary of Commerce and Labor in of President Taft, and Justice Edward O. Brown of Court of the First District of Illinois. But Dr. Bundy fession to Attorney-General Brundage of Illinois which in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on November 25, 1917, sulting his powerful white attorneys.

On April 5, 1918, the New York headquarters received a complaint from the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Se Sa branch that Dr. Bundy desired to personally raise funds to his case. The chairman demurred. Then on Jun: 1 the secretary of the St. Louis branch wrote that Dr. Bundy desired the WN. A. A.C.

Men now speak of such periods as epoches in the annals of time they call their actors men of destiny. But they who lived in those periods did not know that the clock of the heavens had struck for a change on earth nor did the actors realize that the centuries were to turn on them. The revolutions on earth, like those of the heavens, swing on unknown centers, and it is only when the periods are complete that men recognize the extent of the change Who of those who lived in the days of that poor Genoese wool carder Domenico Colombo, ever dreamed that the world's history and progress depended so much on that man's son, and would be so greatly changed by his seemingly wild decision to explore an unknown sea? Nor did that homeless and penniless sailor, as he wandered from place to place, begging now of grandees and anon of kings for the means to test his notions of a water route to the East Indies, and to determine the possible existence of other lands on the way thither, ever for one moment suspect the momentous issues that depended upon his keeping that decision. But how much of the world's wealth how very much of the world's progress toward better things hung on that decision! Likewise, who can tell how much the Negro has been moved—influenced commercially, politically, socially, religiously by the coming of the Honorable Marcus Garvey to the United States of America? Who can tell how much the black man will gain and what heights he will attain unto through the establishment of the U. N. L. A., with its program of national government and motto: "Africa for the Africans"? All depends upon the decision and loyal support of every Negro the world over Let us ask ourselves a question. If Columbus had abandoned his decision would another have sorry made the journey? Or would the world yet be in the depths of the superstititions and darkness of the mind? Vain questions, perhaps, yet they give a faint glimpse of what was involved in that one man's decision, persistently maintained, to undertake an enterprise universally condemned and scuffed at by the men of his day. Neither did that Wittenberg friar, Martin Luther, who in 1617 decided to publish his ninety-five propositions against the indulgence act just issued by the Pope, have the faintest notion that he was then beginning the most memorable religious revolution of a thousand years.

It is the lack of deception. We very often hear Negroes saying that they haven't lost anything in Africa. But when we step to consider this matter we find that we have not everything. We have out the birth place and home of our ancestors. One hundred and sixty years ago an English lad, aardvark, state of age, stood on a slight knoll looking out over one of England's many lovely landscapes. Bakeford Manor was spread out before him. The picture gave village with its tiny hed cottages the old stone church with its coat of ivy the magnificent parish of ancient oaks and elms with its great herd of deer the vast pastures with their fine herds of cattle and the blood fields of waving grain since slowly attracted big gaze. The ind's parents were dead. The grandfather had told him that there had been a time when all that magnificence had been the property of his ancestors. No wonder the boy, as he looked abroad over that great estate was and No wonder that the hot tears came. But presently his eyes brightened, his little form stood erect, as he formed a mighty resolve, and he stamped the soil proudly while he cried, 'I will yet he master of this estate' From that moment his character took form. Slowly he pressed his way through poverty, hard toil, more trials and vast discouragements. Night and day he plodded and studied. He left his native land for India. He became eminent for his knowledge of that country's history, languages, customs and literature. Slowly at first, but rapidly at length, he acquired wealth and became at last governor-general of the British empire of the East. But years before this the noted Warren Hassings had recovered and owned the home of his ancestors. That decision of his boyhood had governed and guided him like a master of destiny. Decision is one of the conspicuous elements of victory in all our undertakings. The wavering mind rarely accomplishes anything. Decision becomes an incentive for action. With a purpose once fixed, victory will eventually crown our labor. Every Negro ought to be a Warren Hastings. Though scattered and separated from our motherland, yet we can stand and, by the eye of faith behold Africa spread out before our gaze, and as we behold its broad and fertile fields, its lovely landscapes, its mountains, its gold, silver, rubies, diamonds and various minerals, etc., let us make a firm resolve that we will by the help of God possess our country and our home. History, as men know it, is almost wholly a record of the doings of such men of decision. It is they who rule the world. Difficulties and dangers are to them but new incentives to action. Defeat does not discourage them, but rather gives them new wisdom wherewith to circumvent and conquer opposing forces. While others are lamenting that circumstances prevent their success, these men make of circumstances a ladder with which to reach success. They climb and conquer with them or over them. How grandly they tower above difficulties and glory over them. REV J R E TOWNZEL 3141 Vernon entrance, Chicago, Ill.

EMONEI CARTER By G. EMONEL CARTER Subject Christian Thanatology Teach 1 Cor 19 XV 31 I die daily The word Thanatology carries with it the idea of a doctrine of death or a discourse on death The Apostle Paul utters this personal testimony with great emphasis I What is the meaning of this dying? It is true literally Paul was daily in sight of death and daily expecting it Indeed he was literally dying day by day The tissues were wearing The energies were abating The mighty heart was slowing He expressed it most graphically when he declared that he and his associates had the answer of death within ourselves (ill Cor 19 R V) In the chamber of their personality the question was uttered Is it to be life or death? And the awful answer was Death They had the answer of death within themselves This is true of us in our degree. It is literally a fact, and each of us may affirm it. I like daily. Science says no. This is the voice of physiology, as well as of Scripture. We do not like to realize it and we rarely hear sermons on death today. But in this avoidance of thanatology right or worse. Charles Kingley said a man who had not married to kill death on the face was not a man at all. And his witness is true. We need to say his ourselves. I like the. As for the Meredith has death is always a great door. He may call upon you when you little and tragic. All he will not regard to your being or not being at home to him. our hearts though about and brave Still we muffled drama a beating Funeral matches to the grave Yes. Longfellow's theologian in Prussia, and both are colepolly enthusiasts. And you ever meet him, when tellingly, accurate the popular poet's figure is—like muffled drums. "The heart enclosed as it is in that membranous sac," the pericardium gives out the very sound of a muffled drum. Let your heart beat ever so vigorously and regularly. It is beating funeral marches to the grave. Does your pulse be rhythmically? It is true, as Dr Watts mournfully sings. And every beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less My friends we need to consider this fact more bravely. I hold to the old evangelical position that it is the first function of religion to prepare men for death. We are living by day. How are we ruling our days? Do not expect from death what it is not its provision to give. Death cannot change your life. Death must justify that our lives are not worth death. If Paul died shortly, afflicted. He was a good and very good. Such were his physical sufferings and his mental sufferings that he did not in ascertaining. He did not constantly allow to this daily dying. He applauds to himself the illumination. For This sake we are killed all the day long. In one brief corinthian paragraph he groups to other ideas like these. Always bearing about in the body the long grace, putting to death of Jesus. Always delivered to death. Death worketh in what a traumatism in this outrage of perils thus in deaths oft. Who can measure the path of such experiences? As usedly the very physical afflictions he cared for is by them. Think of the mental suffering that fell to his of. He didly realized the imminence of martyrdom. What agonies of mind that must have entailed? What nerves an exertionation. Paul was ever haunted by this realized necessity. How dramatically he described it. God hath set forth is the apostles' last of all as men damned to death. For we are made a spectacle unto the world and to angel and to men. Such a survey of Paul's allusions to his writings is simple enough to vin- date his avowal. I like daily. Day by day he had a load of pome which was consequent to a death. How many of God’s choicest saints have in this sense died daily? Richard Laxter did Robert Hall d. Fred W. Robertson did III. Paul died spiritually. Paul had the sense of sin. Daily he felt its guilt. We have an impressive illustration of Paul's realization of guilt in Romans XII. It is a brief chapter of his spiritual autobiography. When the commandment came in revived and I died! That refers, as our best interpreters say, to his sense of doom. Nor is that we are persuaded, an isolated experience of his. There are not a few indications in his epistles that in this sense he died daily. Oh that daily sense of accountability to God—what a dying it is. Do we all know that experimentally? But Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. True, gloriously true. Yet we Christians must die daily. God has forgiven us, but we must never forgive ourselves. We must daily be evangelically humiliated. We are free from the law, yet must ever carry the sense of guilt. This is a paradox, and Christian experience is a cluster of paradoxes. Daily, Paul felt the power of sin. I believe that it is as a Christian he cries: "O wretched man that I am!" Who shall deliver me out-of this body of death? (Rom. 11:24.) The sense of the awful energy of sin in his nature was ever with him. It increased with his years. The harshest things he said of himself he said in the ripeness of his Christian experience. He died daily. But here again we find a paradox; for he who ejaculates, "O wretched man that I am!" answers his TURDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1922 Weekly Sermon ology cries death osteile mony dy was ex dy- were ing own Inquiry "Who shall deliver me out of this body of death?" And his answer is "I thank God through Jesus Christ. Daily he realized the power of sin in his members but daily he realized victory in Christ. Is all this strange to you?" Then excuse me I pity you. Do you die daily? That is the only way to live daily. Daily spiritual life comes only by daily spiritual death. Is the sense of sin daily ours? It is a "pleasing smart" to seek to die daily. Out of his dying springs the life that is life indeed Daily Paul was conscious of the destruction of sin. Here is the luminous aspect of this daily dying. He not only died by an, but he died to sin. What a constellation of paradoxes this Christianity is! Paul declared he had been crucified with Christ! He said the world had been crucified to Him and He to the world. He spoke of being dead with Christ to the rudiments of the world! He urged that we 'mortify (creek make to die) the deeds of the body' "Ye are dead" He hold!) and mystically pronounces Yes Daily. Paul died in this glorious sense that daily sin was destroyed in him. Self in all its manifestations he slew daily by grace. The world he daily afflicted to the Redeemer cross. Satan he soundly 'died' cramped in the power of the Spirit. Godly did he daily. Is this an experience? Are we dying daily in all the fine elements of our being? Happy sons, they who know his experimentally! Oh seek this daily dying. Caimit for Christ's sake. Rock on yourselves dead! Daily dying means daily resurrection, and this means exalting life. 11. What are some general features of living? can it be personal I die daily? Can you speak with equal personal unreceive? do it is a good I protest it is so bad I die sweet it it Dare you unsee yourself? You can protest concerning many things are you prepared to protest that you die daily? Be not rush with this mouth let not thine mouth be rushed to utter anything before you it is really only on single day did he fail to die. This is a strange and rigorous than life. One might die occasionally but to the body this is a hard living. I must be if we would attempt to measure of Christ. Purus only dying was a strong consolation I protest by the praying in my breath which I have in Christ Jesus Lord (47 A). He had a wounds of perpetual comfort in but no mind. He relied in the fellowship of his Christian church. He dedicated with great reverence as the trust of his apostle. There was no sin in his life by which he could not then be dying. And our daily dying will be abundant in childless. If we too have such will found in Jesus. In the same fellowship and in the feasts of Christian days we will be able to say that from him we have been fully with him. With every the rest of this life in Jesus Christ in Christ Jesus. Paul found in Him we would be truly, joyful and daily dying. They who are bound with him by impure flesh dying, they shall of the tithe not be death, one more sacrifice. It is a great art to the weak and has to be carried by men when they are in health. DR. COPELAND ON HEALTH NEEDS OF THE NATION DR. COPELAND ON HEALTH NEEDS OF THE NATION By ISADELLA LAWRENCE Dr R H S Copeland Democrat and Lord S S Sutton from his speeches held in New York City. On Tuesday, we saw the health needs of the nation, and if elected would enjoy taking about such legislation as is now being made, ideals appropriate for the purpose of promotion, and he lessening the infant death rate and extending the span of life throughout the country. In short, he would be a revolt to enclose the public health program as now obtained and thereby render his country a better place in which to live. How wonderful! How encouraging! Let us then hope that after the election our good Health Commissioner will have gained a seat in the Senate and that he will bend all his energy toward this end which would necessarily mean 1 Legislation to bring about a radical change in the present housing accommodations 2 Legislation to secure for the capable worker a living wage 3 Legislation to bring about adequate appropriations for conducting a health campaign so enlightening so sincere and fundamental as would enable the great mass of people—especially the mothers and potential mothers—to fully appreciate their basic position in human society Such legislation would eventually solve the child labor problem and would also thus enable the sum now spent for the maintenance of those who never should have been born to be diverted into other channels. Such legislation would be a long step toward human and national progress. Go to it. Mr. Health Commissioner. A big job awaits you.

Book 10. Avery Dennison. PAGE --- WHEN GOD LAUGHS If there is ever a moment in heaven when the All Wise is moved to laughter it must be, I opine, when He looks over the ramparts upon the children of earth and observes their pompous airs and listens to their great swelling words as they strut about clothed in their little brief authority and giving the impression that they are all powerful, invincible and invulnerable. There is the great multi-millionaire, owning hundreds of thousands of acres, his great manufacturing plants employing thousands of men. Watch him as he drives up to his office in his ten-thousand-dollar limousine, with its livery chauffeur and footman. Note the awe in the faces of the lackeys and attendants as his car stops at the entrance of the great plant, where he is monarch of all the surveys. See the anxious look in the faces of the crowd wanting work and which has waited for hours the arrival of the "king," hoping to obtain a friendly nod of recognition and a chance to work. See the highly paid superintendent as he comes out of his office to meet the "king," bowing and genuflecting before his high mightiness, the "Bigga Boss," whose nod is law, whose presence fills all space. As he steps out of his high-priced car, robed in an expensive jurat and tall silk hat, the crowd, which is kept at a distance by armed guards, casts envious eyes at the "king" and his gorgeous outfit, his diamond ring, his highly polished boots and his "kingly" sirt. The Almighty, looking down from the perapet, roars with laughter at this pompous insect which believes itself all-powerful and the superior of the thousands who bow before him simply because he has amassed millions and controls the great business from which they earn their daily bread. What focus men are? How ridiculous and how silly they are when clothed with a little brief authority. Take the little popinjays in politics. Listen to their loud mutterings. Watch their movements and you get the impression that when the Almighty created them he finished His work. take the military heroes," the conquerors of actions, arrayed in their brilliant uniforms and clanging swords. Their force countenances spread awe and fear and almost stop the heartbeats of those with whom they come into contact. Poor worms of the dust, a single breath of the Almighty will blow them into eternity. Yet they act and feel as though the destiny of all creation is in their hands. God smiles at them, and to show His power, sends a plague upon the earth which destroys in one day more millions than these feeble little armies of dressed-up malkings, with their airplanes, dreadnought and poison, can destroy in year. Take yourself. How strong indemnent and important you feel! How am I you boast of what I am going to do, what I have done, what I won't permit to be done. The I mighty care the as you are making takes down His most powerful looks in the direction of the mound and snare an able about the size of a gnat and smiles broad! The Ion reporting in his strength not only what he can command makes no help of his power. But in vain min cuts such a fantastic "gure" before high heaven that he makes be angels weep. He certainly does don't STRUT.

His home has long been under suspicion and Tuesday noon a raid was made The officers discovered a ten-gallon press tank constructed in the walls. It was four feet long three feet wide and four inches thick. It was so placed in the wall that it was completely invisible due to the plaster and wall paper. The outlet was said to have had a glass knobbed nail for picture hanging, that screwed out and opened the pipe lending from the tank. It required an extended search by the officers for the crack. The liquor was poured from a flue which had its opening upstage, and it was practically impossible to locate it until the tank was found. The officers chopped the rock from the wall and brought it, together with Clarence Brooks, to the station to act as evidence.

Is it time now for Negroes to ```markdown ``` EVOLUTION AND PROGRESS By AGNES WALKER A High School Student of Portland, Conn. Ab! As we think of the word 'Evolution' it takes our minds back to the story of our ancestor, who is said to have been the ape. Of course, we know that it is a fable, only told to bring out the meaning of evolution in its truest. To prove the meaning of evolution is easily done, for if our ancestors were apes and we have developed into the greatest of animals, then we know that the lower animals have no intelligence, and we would call our development from the ape to the higher animal (man) unconscious adaptation. So you see that evolution is unconscious adaptation. Note the tendencies of the grapevine, the tendencies of the climbing ivy, the fruits, vegetables, etc. We know that nature has no thoughts and no mind; therefore, by evolution we mean the story of unconscious adaptation—progress. Now let us take the higher animal (man), who has intelligence, and note his work in aiding nature. All over the country we notice great handiworks of man, great factories, shipyards, steamships, machines, large farms of various products. On water we see great river dams, huge wheels to turn mills; man agitating for certain governmental control of some island. Negroes crying that Africa must be redeemed. Negroes must have their place on the globe where God intended them to be, etc., so all of that we know is consciously done, and we call it—progress. Therefore, progress is the story of conscious adaptation. Again we may say that evolution travels toward extinction; it may go forward or the reverse. Progress travels forward to avoid distinction. Study deeply and see how man needs the aid of nature in his physical environment. "MORRIS" November Specials IN OUR Musical Instrument Department CASH OR CREDIT C. G.

SUCCESSFUL MEETING OF CAPE TOWN DIV., SOUTH AFRICA, U. N. L. A. & A. C. L Sunday. August 22. 1922. A successful mass meeting of the above division was held on the above late in the National Theatre, William street, Cape Town. Every seat in the ball was occupied. The Rustenberg brass band rendered a few choice selections previous to the opening of the meeting. The president, Mr W O. Jackson, presided. After a few brief remarks the president asked the audience to rise and sing the opening ode, "From Greenland's ice Mountains," which was sung in a lusty manner. Brother Humble of the Honorable Advisory Board was then called upon to invoke God's blessings upon the gathering. In doing so he also asked God not only to bless the officers of the division and its members, but also to bless the hundreds of divisions in other parts of the world, and above all for a special blessing upon the Hon. Marcus Garvey and those at the head of this great work. For the benefit of strangers in the audience the president then dealt with the aims and objects of the association, at the same time calling the attention of Negroes to the fact that God had given them the same ability to do things as well as the other fellows. At this stage, the only part of the program was left in the hands of our worthy treasurer, A. W. Chaswell. The first item was a song by the Native Trio in memory of those natives who lost their lives on the S. B. Nendle while on their way to France during the recent war. Second item was a hymn entitled, A Better Way, followed by a secret on by the band 'Pilgrims Progress'. The Misses Absolom and Maxwell sang 'Beautiful Morning'. A dust was sung by Misses Brown and Cornell as Panthet My Soul at the conclusion of which the singers received up in exile. The speakers in this meeting were Mr H. L. zega kekimma late head master of the A. V. kekimma in the Transvaal who had a most interesting paper on Self Help. His subject was well prepared and dealt with in a masterly manner. This gentleman held his audience spellbound. The next speaker was Mr. Thiele who in no unanimous minute, spoke at length upon the importance of the word Negro to them used by the previous speaker in the reading of his paper. Mr The then did it with the annotation of our lecture at the same time bringing him to the audience that the salutation of the Negro races throughout the world does not depend upon the white man. But solely depends upon the Negroes themselves. The final address was delivered by Mr A. E. W. Winston who a subject was United A. V. and Devoted We Full. The speaker's points in his opening phrase in the distrust exist ing message which is the main cause of the distrust among ourselves. The S. S. will take one after case where he is known to not exist among Negroes. He elected them to trust on them in the fully thereby increasing their responsibility to one another. He conceived of his specific purpose appeal to non members of the I N I A At the time he pointed out to them that Negroes it is their duty to become members of the Universal Negro Power Union. Association Quite a number of non members were on rolled as the result of Mr. Wattington's strong appeal. This successful meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. ARTHUR EMILE WATTINGTON 180 Strand street, Cape Town, S. A. Africa To answer this important question let us begin in earnest, examine carefully, without pique or prejudice, the cause and effect of every circumstance which sheds light on the question. In the history of the world there has never been such a representative body of nations met in solemn conclave as witnessed at the aftermath of the great war of 1914. This august body was called the Peace Conference of the nations. Naturally one would expect, gathered in that spacious hall, were representatives of every nation, men of learning, great ability, versed in politics. Before that great body could meet certain ideas were accepted as common to each nation which composed that grand council. It was essential that each representative was delegated by a people who owned land on lands in their own right at some part or parts of the globe, which was considered their own, that the part or parts contained people who by individual ownership were entitled to send a representative. As a practical example: The ambassadors of England, in their most powerful speeches, were saying, in effect: The people of England—men, women, boys and girls, situated at such a part on the map of Europe, possessors of lands in Africa, Asia, America and the seas, in our opi ion backed up by the force of the peoples we rule, say that so-and-so should be done. In like manner, every nation at that table spoke through its political power. The ruling nations met to discuss matters affecting them and their peoples. It was the opportunity for Negroes to see their true position in the world today. Look around the hall of the Peace Conference of the nations. The question of questions to the Negro was, Are there no Negro nations? If so, where are they? I see none here. The fateful and true answer is a blot on our existence. We, the nations gathered here, do not consider the Negro as a nation or as a responsible element for self-government and comradeship with us. We have divided up his possessions-between us and do not need him here. We tolerate him when we cannot do better. The questions at issue relate to a new distribution of the earth among the privileged nations. The Negro is neither privileged nor a nation today. Negroes of the entire world, was that 'true'. Now, it was your chance for reaping a sound moral reward for your service and devotion to the white man's cause. It was the triumph of the whites and the distinct degradation of the blacks. If you blacks want to take your rightful place in the world, help to arrange its concerns, you must make clear your rights and exercise them to the utmost The English boy or girl is a unit of a great nation. Mark the term "great" The Negro savant, of ripe years and wide experience, is a unit of millions of a subject race—manhood, ability, equality, all are thrown aside—the only thing which counts with the whites. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1922 They have beaten you and become your rulers, and will rule you for succeeding generations. Will Negroes allow this to continue? I say emphatically. No! If you have no patriotism, get it. Live up to it. If you do not get it you will always be underneath, a crouching crowd, a reproach. Ask yourself seriously. What is patriotism? The answer will open your eyes, for it was beaten out of your father, killed out by every artifact. You have not escaped; you never will unless you see your true position. You have been taught that the lands of the whites have a rightful claim to your patriotism. It is untrue. Be as other nations. Stand up for your motherland. No mother, no child. This is the way, the only way, to make Africa the home of the black nations again. EDGAR BABB. Guadaloupe, French West Indies. AKRON, OHIO, U. N. I. A.

Yours respectfully, SECRETARY NOVELLA McDONALD CAPTAIN JONES OF SEATTLE DIVISION PASSES AWAY It is my fraternal duty to let all loyal members of the U N I. A. throughout the world know of the death of Capt Charles S. Jones, of Division No. 50, at 4 10 a. m., Wednesday, September 28. 1922, at the home of a faithful brother and sister of the U. N. I. A., Mr and Mrs. J. H. Lee, who, throughout his many months of illness, watched over him with tender care until the final call came to him to join those loved ones who had gone before to that unknown land where the spirit awaits its gift of salvation and eternal life through faith in an unseen and unknown God Brother Jones was a native of the State of Florida. Born in ante-bellum days, his correct age is unknown to us, but it is believed to be more than the allotted three-score and ten. Captain Jones was a Spanish-American War veteran and a member of the local Negro post. The funeral was from Liberty Hall, 1238 Main street, and it was taxed to its utmost with his brother veterans and officers and members of the U. N. I. A on Sunday, October 1, at 8 o'clock p. m., Rev. George Maney officiating as chaplain. At 4.38 p. m., after the ceremonies, the casket was received at the door by a military escort (white) from Fort Lawton, and was laid to rest at Lakeview Cemetery after three volleys over the grave, the customary military salute, all that the living could possibly do for a brother and friend was done. JAMES A. HASSELL President Division No. 50. Seattle, Wash., October 1, 1932. TO KNOXVILLE U. N. I. A. 'KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 14.—On Sunday our Liberty Hall was packed to hear Rev. T. C. Glasen, who has been out for two Sundays in some of the country towns in Tennessee in the interest of the U N. I. A. The commission has done great work. Tennessee today is practically being swept by the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Rev Glasen made a strong appeal for the Hon. Marcus Garvey defense fund. A dying white man advised his servant to join the U N. I. A. He said: "This is my last word to you. It is a great Negro movement and it is beat for you and all Negroes to join, so don't hang back." The Hon. Commissioner's subject was "The Hope of a Race and the Rising of a Nation." At the close of his lecture among those who joined were Rev. Hogland, pastor of the Christ Church, a noble and most respected preacher and Christian gentlemen of the city, and Dr. Lawson, M. D. a well known and respected physician of the city. This makes the fourth physician and two lawyers to join the U N I A Also five ministers in the city and three outside the city joined. It is pleasing to know that the well-thinking preachers, doctors and lawyers are members of the U. N. I. A., one of the greatest Negro movements in the world.

Seydy. 423 Cherry St. Milwaukee, Wis. Instruction of the Colored City of New York 40 LASHES, 10 YEARS FOR $250 ROBBERY Colored Prisoner's Punishment at Delaware Whipping Post Expected to Discourage Crime—Called "Hugging Maria" NEWCASTLE. Del Oct 23 —(special) Forty lashes on the bare back and ten years imprisonment for the theft of $250 This was the punishment Delaware meted out to Perry Mitchell, colored who a ruck Robert Wilson an aged Wilmington resident and then robbed him of all the cash in his possession Mitchell was given the forty lashes at the county workhouse here on Saturday and his term of imprisonment started immediately afterward. While motor handouts in a dozen cities pursue the even tenor of their way, with robberies running into thousands of dollars and a toll of Human lives, the Delaware Negro writhed beneath the strokes of Delaware's historic cat-o-nine-tails in the hands of a hawk deputy warden of the workhouse at Greenbank Mitchell smiled when he heard his sentence in the Court of General Pension on October 11. By adroit legal defense he escaped the punishment for highway robbery, which carried ten years more of imprisonment than he is now sent enced to serve under conviction for ord nary robbery. But when he was led forth to drug Maria," as Delaware folks say, to face the idle curiously seekers who frequent the vicinity of the history whipping post on occasions of state." It was with a different feeling. Five ten even fifteen lashes are a common occurrence, but strong of heart and of body is the man who can stand forty blows of the heavy leather though appalled with the force the law demands. On previous occasions men have received forty lashes, but on two separate days, with a rest of one day between Mitchell collapsed after receiving his lashes, and had to be helped back to his cell. Against protests by humanitarians, against legal attempts to have the Department, of Justice restrain the practice and against Congressional assaults, Delaware has successfully maintained the whipping-post and points with pride to it as the one real deterrent to criminals of many classes. But for defaulency, for embezzlement, for forgery, for defrauding innocent persons of lifetime savings in get-rich-quick swindles. In fact, for the cultured classes of the criminal world, the code holds no such punishment. "The whipping-post is only for the "low-brow." Thus is Delaware freed of the so-called crime waves which now and then grip the greater cities. This, despite the fact that Wilmington, containing almost one-half of the State's population, is on a direct line between four large cities, and is, therefore, a natural gathering place for the traveling underworld. A wave, a Delaware wave, of bad ditry was noticed last year. Four men were arrested, convicted and given a total of 140 lashes. Delaware authorities in three counties say banditry stopped. The whipping-post is retained and looked upon with favor by Delaware officials largely because of the theory advanced by William F. Pinkerton that some criminals consider a long prison term a mark of honor, and a whipping a disgrace, which causes other criminals to look down upon them. Nine years ago Representative Evana, of Montana, in Congress attacked the Delaware institution as "inhuman," and sought to have Attorney General Reynolds issue an injunction restraining the use of the whipping-post. The Attorney General's opinion stated that it was doubtful if the Federal Government had the authority to take such a step. The legality of the procedure has never been assailed with a test case, although a section of the Delaware State Constitution of 1897 provides that "excessive ball or brutal punishment" shall not be imposed. The Congressional attack in 1913 brought about much discussion, even in Delaware, and the Methodist ministers of Wilmington themselves went on record as favoring the whipping-post for certain classes of criminals The whipping-post, however, is by no means exclusively the property of Delaware. Maryland also has ancient laws permitting its use in the discretion of the court. A law introduced in the Maryland Legislature this year provided for forty lashes for women who assaulted their husbands. There is no record of its passage. A resident of Belfast, Ireland, was sentenced in April of this year to fifteen lashes at the whipping-post and three years' penal servitude for robbery with violence, the same crime for Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Asthma, Bronchitis, Constipation or Constant Headache WHITE RACE MUST HOLD AFRICA AT ANY COST, PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER SAYS Kansas Minister Tells Congregation That White Race Is in Danger of Losing Boasted Supremacy which Mitchell the Delaware Negro, will be whipped today In Ontario, Canada in 1921, forty lashes each were given two prisoners for cruelly beating and rubbing an aged farmer near Kingston, a case parallel to that of Mitchells On many occasions in recent years members of the minor judiciary in New York, Chicago Philadelphia and Boston have appeared in the press as favoring the whipping-post form of punishment for certain criminals, asserting it would be the greatest crime preventive the larger cities has ever known - The Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia, Pa. WEST 135TH ST. BRANCH NEW YORK Y. M. C. A. BRIEFS The West 135th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association has entered into what is to be known as the clean up campaign. This has nothing to do with their annual financial campaign which is held in January, but is for the purpose of paying off the indebtedness on the work of last year. The association is endeavoring to rate through this campaign $1,000 and has organized a group of 100 men who have formed themselves into clubs and are working to raise this amount. The Junior department is enthusiastic in this effort, as they see in it not only an opportunity for service, but when the indebtedness is paid they are confidential that equipment for their Y.M.D club rooms will be secured. The following are captains in the campaign Messrs James A Anderson, Wm H Austin, Edward H Green, George Clarke, C H Nicholas Joseph Steber, A A Johnson, B Stone, J L Gorman, C B Brooks, C Arrants, G Parris, C Cooke, Egbert Clarke, James Robinson Dr Allan B Graves.

This meeting had its beginning in the Lafayette lodge room in the fall of 1916 and, has grown from its first meeting of 17 in attendance to its largest meeting of over 500. Men of prominence have been selected as speakers from time to time and the policy along this line will be continued. Strong (Special to The Negro World ) TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 25—One of the greatest questions confronting the civilized world today is that of the decreasing influence of the white race and the increasing power of the darker races. So much attention has been given this subject lately that both white pulpit and press have begun a campaign of enlightenment on the subject. Just a few evenings past the Rev Dr S. S. Estey, pastor of the Presbyterian Church (white) here delivered a whole sermon on the subject, having gotten most of his material from Lathrop Stoddard's "the Rising Tide of Color" Needless say, the newspaper accounts of the sermon caused quite a stir among both the white people and Negroes of the city. After reviewing the causes for the decline of power among the white race and the increase among the colored, Dr Estey quoted Mr. Stoddard: "When that time comes the white race will face extermination Mr Stoddard says in his book, however, that Africa and Latin-America must be held by the whites at all cost, for these two continents are the outposts. With the free from the colored menace, the whites always will retain their ground as the dominant race of the world. "As set out by Mr Stoddard, there are three big perils facing the white race. First is that of arms. One need but think if the four-fifths of the world pitted against the other fifth to think of the result of the war of that type. But these races generally are not warlike, and there is little danger of a race war unless the fanatical Mohammedans set out to do away with the Christians. "The second menace is an industrial peril. The colored races, with their willingness to work for a bare existence, that their ability to live on less than the white makes cheap labor. This puts the prices on the product lower than the white races can meet. The last and greatest of the three is the immigration problem. To dominate, the white race must remain with pure strain. This purity must be defended at all costs against the intermingling of the races. "But I think the one true solution is for the white race to leave to the colored peoples what is theira, and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching a closer brotherhood of mankind throughout the world." talks to strong men have always been the motto. On Sunday, October 28, a get-ready meeting will be held. All of the members of the association and well wishers of the Big Meeting are invited to be present. The executive secretary and his corps of works will be present to present the plans. A good program is being arranged for this particular occasion. The meeting will be held promptly at 4 o'clock, as has been the rule of the Big Meeting ever since its inauguration.

It is the highest office in the gift of Baptists of the United States and carries with it great influence and power.

ADAMS Establish a literacy test for voters and make it compulsory that black labor shall be paid as much as white labor for the same amount and quality of work. More than a thousand suggestions for the solution of the race problem in the United States, submitted by Blade readers, are summarized in the foregoing paragraph. It is clear these readers realize that the race question has two phases of immediate importance. One is the political phase—permitting persons of alien bloods to vote and have a voice in our government, regardless of their qualifications. The other phase is economic—the friction growing out of competition between cheap labor and low standards of living on one side and better paid labor and higher standards of living on the other side. It is interesting to note that most Blade readers have not declared for a literacy test for Negroes alone. The majority have said that the literacy test should be applied to all, because, while today the illiterate Negro may be the chief menace to our democratic government, it will only be a short time until our illiterate foreign population, voting with no understanding of our traditions and institutions, will be a powerful influence in corrupt government and electing inferior men to office. States can fix the qualifications for voters. In New York, for example, they recently passed a law saying that in order to qualify as a voter a person must be able to read fifty words of English and write at least ten words. Obviously, that isn't much of a test, but it is a beginning, and in time, perhaps, the test will be made more exacting. In the Southern States the qualifications for voting are such that only the more intelligent Negro can qualify, and as a result the Negro is less of a political problem than in the Northeastern States, where no safeguards are placed about the ballot. While the qualifications for voters can be handled by State Legislatures and in State constitutions, it would. I believe he better if we had a national policy with a frank and clear declaration in our Federal Constitution that the United States is a white man's government and that the right to vote shall be limited to white persons who have qualified as citizens. It is far too easy for foreigners to become citizens of the United States, and it seems to me that if we raised the qualifications for citizenship and then limited the right to vote to white persons who are full-fledged citizens we would solve the political problem of our race question. The economic problem would also and it might prove more difficult because of the fact that we would have an inferior class of labor with no political power, and therefore no political women to use against the inhuman and unsupriculous men and organizations which might and would endeavor to exploit ignorant Negroes and newly or lived foreign whites. If we agreed that it would be better for the country to make uniform wages for uniform work regardless of race, immunity how would we go about it to make that agreement effective? If you attempt to do so by law you invade the rights of a man to work for whatever he wants and you abridge the out of a man to pay wages according to his judgment of the value of the work performed. Notwithstanding the fact that we have in some States a fixer in the minimum legal wage for certain workers, I do not see how we can eliminate the competition between inferior workers and low living jobs and superior workers and/or living standards except by entirely eliminating the former. The Negro is not the only group of the laborer in the United States, but he is the group most difficult to deal with because it is almost impossible to make of him a superior workman, and it is equally difficult to advance his standard of living. It is his nature to be easily an inflicted, and he does not take kindly to hard work or economy today, in order to improve his condition tomorrow. The poor and ignorant foreigners who come to the United States do show some improvement in this regard from one generation to another. As a rule, the grandchildren of these immigrants approximate American standards in both their work and living, while the Negro generation after generation, continues to have no ambition other than a shelter and food for his immediate need and a passing satisfaction for his appetites and fancies. This condition may be improved a little by intensive education, but there is a limit to the possibilities in that field. It may be improved a little by an appeal to the conscience of employers, but here again we must deal with human nature and admit that the likelihood of appreciable improvement is mighty slim because the conscience of modern industry isn't much to boast of. The solution of this economic phase of the race question, if there is one, rests in finding some field of labor for which the Negro is especially fitted and auringering that field to him. He can be used to advantage in the cotton belt of the United States, under white direction and management, and, perhaps, in that field we will find the ultimate solution of the problem pending the time, if it ever comes, when we are ready to make this a white man's country to the exclusion of all alien blooms. The program ought to begin, it seems to me, with the elimination of all races other than whites from participation in THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1922 our political life. The next step would be a gradual elimination of these alien bloods from our economic and industrial activities and the final step would be their permanent elimination as an alien element in white society. Race history shows that where races mingle there is no racial equality. One race dominates, and if the dominant race does not assert its mastery, it is absorbed. It is much like the lion-trainer and his lion. As long as the trainer has his pistol and his whip he gets on vory well with the lion, but if he lays aside these agencies and attempts to deal with the lion as an equal, sooner or later the trainer disappears and you discover the lion. much inflated as to stomach, licking his chops and grinning as if very well satisfied with the theory of equality which enabled him to get rid of his trainer and at the same time enjoy a hearty meal—The Saturday Blade, Chicago, Ill. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE AFRICANS WAKE UP The Turks licked the Greek army sent to Asia Minor and now they appear to be doing well in matching wits with European diplomats. The surprising revival in Turcy is due to a white man Mustapha Kemal Pasha is a blond with blue eyes. He has Nordic blood in his veins and the Nordics are the whitest of the white race. Read your history and you will discover that the nations of Europe have attained their greatest, power and influence when led by Nordica. The Turk with Nordic leadership seems to be coming back pretty fast when the European nations agree to cease alliances Turkish authority in Thrace rather than precipitate a war. The Allies know that the Turks are led by the same German officers they had during the war. Germany, not Turkey, is coming back. What would happen in Africa if Nordic leadership showed the millions of natives the way to united action and awakened a national consciousness? Some day Africa will be the theatre of the chief action in the world's ever-changing drama. Today France dominates a great empire in Africa. France doesn't dr. the color line. They make as much over Bikl. the black prize-fighter, as they did over Carpenter. There a very little prejudice in France against a black man and the French government fosters and encourages the mingling of the two races. A century hence the real France may be in Africa and black men may be holding the highest official posts in what is left of France in Europe. Africa has been asleep for many centuries. Today white nations are exploring and exploiting African territory. White men are penetrating the jungles, and, eventually they will wake up the natives.

Sept 8—A direct appeal has been made to King George by one of the smallest self-governing states in the world for his aid in preventing its assimilation as a par. of the South African mandated territory. It is the republic of Ilerandon, formerly a part of German Southwest Africa. Its citizenship were independent enough even in pre-war days to wrest from the former Kaiser a charter of freedom, with a right to their own parliament, law, taxation, civil service and British citizenship. Independence was more firmly established during the war when the 5,000 inhabitants resisted Germany's demands of assistance and still resisted when Germans surrounded their small fighting force and killed off even women and children in order to force a surrender. The arrival of a British flying column saved Hermandos. President Van Wyck, who ruled the tiny colony at that time, has petitioned King George to save the 'country from government by a representative of the South African Union, with the avowed intention of appealing to the League of Nations if Ling George refuses his request. MARCUS GARVEY THE NEGRO MOSES By K. L. FENNER One of the greatest questions has entered the minds of the people as to whether the Hon. Marus Garvey is the Negro Moses or self-styled Mosaic. I will answer that question, yes he is Moses for the Negro people of the world to lead them to the Motherland Africa. Not self-styled as you put it, but as God has ordained it and the representatives of 400,000,000 Negroes of the world' has elected him to be, and if you critics had ever studied the history of Moses you would not have any doubt about the Hon. Marcus Garvey, for he is going through the same things that Moses went through, and you see he is not a native of this country like Moses was not a native of Egypt. You so-called religious Negroes have the audacity to question what religion is best to practice. The religion you are speaking is the right religion, don't you let that stop you from following His Excellency, Marcus Garvey. Because you follow him, you will put my 15 into the place where it belongs. That is what Mr Garvey is trying to teach you in order to teach you the right. He has cut off two of his Right Honorable enemies, so look out—it is you neat I believe everybody has a Bible, so I will give you some Scripture to read. Exodus, xix, 1-36, Levit, xz, 7-8. I Peter, 116, Hebrews, x, 1-288. Romans, iv, 8-32, Isaiah, xx, 1-131. Isaiah, iv, 1-4, Isaiah, ivv. The references are given because the people do not read the Bible—in fact they do not read the Negro World. Some of the Negroes cannot read anything they only take what the D. Da. give them. The definition that Isaiah for D. D. is Dumb Dogs. I am telling you about His Excellency Marcus Garvey and Moses, compare these two together Just on October 7 and 8, 1922, the Jews celebrated "Moses Day" which happened a little better than four thousand years ago, and you Negroes can not or will not remember Mr Garvey ur years ago. The first scripture is given to remind you just what God had Moses to write to the Jewr just three months after they left Egypt in the wilderness. There is not a man that we have any record of since Moses until Marcus Garvey to do so great a work as to lead two of the most rebellious races, Jews and Negroes. In order to prove it to you these two races are the hardest to convince, God gave His son, Jesus, in the likeness of the Jew to lead them. He gave them luck, we have this record that I came to my own and they received me not," so don't let that be your case. This is to the followers of this great movement. If you will adopt this plan, when you get your paper go to your black brother or sister, read this Negro World to them just as you would go with a funny story, get busy, arise thou that sleepepath and let the Negroes know what has happened and what is going to happen. There is no question in my mind about His Excellency leading us to the promised land, "Afr ca." SIKI SETS NEW STYLE OF HAIR DRESSING IN PARIS French Women Are Kinking Hair and Black Clothes Are the Rage (Special Correspondence to The Negro World) PARIS Oct 23 — Frenchwomen are kinking their hair and dyeing their skins brown in short an 'ebony craze' has set in since Carpenter, the last idol was defeated and Bikil was set up in his place. Black men are itally worth their weight in gold. Black women are worth literally twice their weight in gold, because they are half as scarce as black men. Black silk stilts' arts are being worn by the women for the first time in three ears. Blonde beauties are dyeing their hair black. Diane Pleuris, the noted Black Cat Chetret star, is appearing nightly with her bobbed hair carefully kledd. Black gowns, which have for a long time been strictly paired are now the rage. They have come back in amazingly beautiful creations of the dressmakers' art, and are fast disspacing the until lately pre-eminently popular coats. Wonderful designs in black hosiery are now worn, and dres ses are shortening to better d spray the charm of this feature of the ladies' inllets. Even black underwear most gauzy and beautifully fashioned, is being worn and fair complexions are being darkened and jewelry in black settings is a popular thing.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1922 MR. G. EMONEI CARTER ON THE FAIR AND EXPOSITION M. G. EINHOLT GATTER ON THE FAIR AND EXPOSITION "A light most inspiring will be Liberty Hall on Wednesday night. November 1. The hall will be beautifully decorated, the colors of the burning flags and soft lights blending, and a certain sense of gallery and happiness pervading the atmosphere will cause the men and women who visit the Annual Fair and First Educational and Commercial Exposition of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on November 1 to forget their cares and worries for the time being and to enter into the spirit of contentment and joy. Not in tethuseness does one reach peace of mind. In the joy of giving believing, trusting and hoping for better things does peace of mind come, and with it it the good things which life has to give. When the reporter for the Negro World came to interview Mr. G. E Carter he was met with the above remarks. "But what has that to do with the fair and exposition?" asked the reporter. "I'll tell you," answered Mr Carter. "We want to start an educational fund for our members, and we made that fact known to our friends. It won't long before every available space in Liberty Hall was taken up. In fact, if we offered a sell Liberty bonds we could not have sold them any faster. "First donor was the Chelsea National Bank, 1858 street and Seventh avenue, which donated the cost of our Hall of Nations booth, where we will display foreign money, and will explain the value of the United States dollar as compared with foreign money. This donation was followed a day later by a check from the Broadway Central Bank. Ninety-seventh street and Broadway, and from then on donations came in every day. "Our health booth will be in charge of Miss Isabella Lawrence and her able assistants. They have worked very faithfully to make this demonstration a success. They will explain to visitors just how to take care of children, the value of foods, etc., and Miss Lawrence will lecture on health subjects each evening. "These lectures, as well as moving pictures and many musical numbers, will be held in Exhibition Hall, which is a complete theatre constructed in Liberty Hall. The musical program will be in charge of Prof. William Isale. The moving pictures will be shown through the courtesy of Kirkman & Son of Brooklyn, and a cake of their floating soap will be given free to every woman seeing these pictures. "An entire apartment has been constructed and completely furnished by Kalmus Brothers of 1858 street. Every visitor will be given an opportunity to see how a home should be furnished and also a chance to win some of the furniture. The home complete cost the committee nearly $1,000. You see we are not stinting to make this a wonderful success. "And then we will also have an automobile, and everybody with sporting blood will be given an opportunity to win it. "And last, but not least, we will have a baby contest under the direction of Miss Isabella Lawrence. This will take place on Friday afternoon. November 10. There will be no admission. Everything will be free. Prises have been offered by Dr. E. E Rawlins, the Black Cross Nurses and the committee. The judges are Dr. E. E Rawlins, Dr. Godrey Nurse, Dr. E.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEN 23 4, 1922 Ecos del Oriente de Cuba Grande, muy grande es la madre Naturalza. Ya se oye de cerca el estrindente guñejo, que dure tiempos inmemorables esperaba escuchar el hombre Negro. Los hombres, los pueblos, las razas, todos se preparan para vijar por el esplendoroso valle del progreso. La assimilación impera, el academicismo reina, el talento florece Obertad Absoluta de los Derechos de una Raza y la Completa Emancipación de su Cuna es Nuestra Ambición—Millones de Negros se Organizan Universalmente Con el Objeto de Constituirse en Poder—Nuestro Gran Movimiento Adelanta en el Camino del Progreso No habrá sentido aun el Negro ese toque de llamada universal? Continuará este expontiendo sus propios ideales por conducto de los elementos de otras razas? Llegara el hombre descendiente de Etopia a conquerir sus derechos humanos por medio de su propio esuerzo? Negros del universo, estudia detenidamente la conducta observada por elementos de nuestra propia raza, tales como Marcus Garvey. Rene Marín votó cuva subidura podra facitarnos la luz esplendorosa de un mejor medio de existencia. liempo es ya de que realicemos que el bienestar y futuro de nuestra raza depende exclusivamente de la cooperación unisona de todos y cada uno de los elementos que la constituyen. El Hon Marcus Garvey ha dado el primer paso en el camino del bienestar de una raza que por centenares de años ha sido el blanco de todas las maledicencias. El trunfo se aproxima, por medio de su determinación irresistible Asimilemos sus ideas, imitemos es empleo y con extremida decisión contruviamos a la realizacion de tan noble causa Nuestra lucha individual por centenares de años en beneficio de nuestros derechos, solamente ha tenido por resultado vejamenes y decepciones. Esta es simplemente una epoca de cooperación, los individuos, las razas y las naciones cooperan en beneficio de su propia causa común. Hace pocos dias hemos tenido e'alto Ponor de conocer en la morada de la Stra Fima Favor a' Reverendo Thompson quien procedente de la pintoresca villa de Banes, se dirige a su país natal, Jamaica Si estudiamos detenidamente el desarrollo de los acontecimientos contemporáneos, notamos que se hacen grandes esfuerzos para la reorganización de razas o grupos de razas, tales como ciento cincuenta millones de musulmanes, doce millones de hebreos, trescientos cincuenta millones de indus El Reverendo Thompson ha venido a esta república en comision con los demas min stros de se religión Le deseamos feliz estancia en esta, así como también arribo venturoso a su país natal Vemos a ciertas naciones firmando tratados de reciprocidad con otras naciones, en beneficio de mayores ventajas tanto políticas como industriales. Tales manifestaciones nos demuestran claramente que esta es la época oportuna para que por medio de un esfuerzo unido, nos organicemos universalmente en bien común de nuestra propia raza Con gran entusiasmo vienen realizandose las conferencias con el objeto de la consolución de los elementos de muestra raza en esta república Dicho comite esta constitución por los Sres Eligio Dulli, Eduardo Noalla, Walters, la Sra Walters, el que suscribe y otros elementos de gran valer, en la esperanza de que los elementos de la raza en esta república vengan en engrosar las nilas de este prepotente movimiento universal. La fuerza que ha contribuido a los grandes cambios operados actualmente no ha sido otra sino el espiritu de organización y no la acción individual. En todas las épocas y en todas las edades la organización ha servido siempre como factor principal en el desenvolvimiento de los acontecimientos humanos. Ramon Apezteguia Hernandez. Corresponsal El General Crowder Regresa a Cuba Hemos marchado por tiempo indefinible a la retaguardia del progreso; el planeta que habitamos ha progresado de tal suerte, que se nos hace casi imposible hallar en el un sitio apropiado donde instalarnos con el objeto de desarrollarnos económica y políticamente. Permitiendo que la actitud agresiva de razas continue, sin disponernos a tomar parte en los grandes cambios que se operan actualmente, en el transcurso de cien años, nuestra raza, en la actualidad compuesta de cuatrocientos millones de seres, indudablemente ha de desaparecer de la superficie del globo El general Enoch Crowder, después de celebrar por más de una quincena conferencias con el secretario de estado Hughes salio para la Habana, en su carácter de representante personal del presidente Harding, en diligencias que pueden producir resultados importantes sobre la situación, en financiera de Cuba El doctor Carlos Manuel de Cepedes tambien ha estado conteren cuando estos dias con el departamento de estado, habién dos discutido el provectado empestito de incuenta millones que Cuba ha decidido lanzar al mercado en los Estados Unidos, para lo cual ha pedid autorización a este gobierno. Aun cuando la administración del presidente Harding no ha dado todavía su consentimiento al mencionado empestito, tiénese entendido que lo hará próximamente, quizas la próxima semana. Tengamos presente que la política de las razas y naciones ha sido, es y será el no dar a la nuestra oportunidad bajo ninguna circunstancia. La sociedad humana se ha regularizado de manera tal que vemos a cada grupo en la lucha por su propia existencia, a expensas de las desventajas de los demas. Es aconsejable el que tomemos nota de todos estos acontecimientos y nos determinemos a hacer algo en beneficio de nuestros propios intereses. Como Cuba ha aceptado el programa de reformas legislativas considerado necesario previene por los Estados Unidos, el departamento de estado ha dejado saber que el consentimiento sera otorgado El doctor Céspedes discutió también con el subsecretario de estado Phillips las cuestiones relativas a las relac. cz commerciales, inclusive las reformas de que se ha hablado al tratado de comercio entre los dos pauses De nuevo hemos de apelar a los elementos de nuestra raza en general para adherirse al prepotente movimiento de nuestra organización. Nuestros intereses han estado divididos; la hora ha llegado en que estos sean convertidos en un solo interés colectivo. En defensa del gran principio de libertad, de justicia, de igualdad y de democracia millones han luchado y millones han dejado de existir. Si bien no se han dado detalles del exacto carácter del nuevo arreglo en las cuestiones comerciales, se espera que pronto se hará un anuncio formal sobre la materia. Nos corresponde demostrar a la humanidad que somos hombres; que sentimos; que tenemos alma; que tenemos tanto derecho a disfrutar de las dádivas de nuestra madre Naturalaleza, como lo tiene cualquier otro ser humano. La historia de la humanidad no registra en sus páginas ninguna otra raza que haya soportado por tanto tiempo los vejámenes de que hamos sido objeto. Nuestra raza ha contribuido al progreso de las demas; ha contribuido a la construcción del imperio británico, a la estabilidad de Italia, al imperialismo de Alemania, al engrandecimiento de Francia. Proclamación del Nuevo Presidente de Santo Domingo El contralmirante Samuel S Robinson, gobierno militar de los Estados Unidos en Santo Domingo, ha lanzado una proclama estableciendo presidente provisional de la república dominicana al señor Juan Bautista Vicini Bourgos, segun supo de fuente autorizada Espérase que el designado se encargará del poder muy en breve Es este el primer paso del plan del departamento de estado para retirarse los Estados Unidos de esa república. Por siglos y siglos hemos venido contribuyendo a la construcción de imperios y naciones en todas partes; ya es hora de que hagamos uso de nuestras energías en beneficio propio. Imperios han caido e imperios han surgido en sus ruinas, mediante el concurso directo o indirecto de los intereses de nuestra raza. Como una repetición de la historia, en las ruinas de los últimos imperios caldos, ha de surgir nuestro propio imperio; un imperio fundado en los principios de justicia, amor e igualdad; una imperio que revele la hermandad humana y la paternidad divina. Esperase que al aceptar el cargo el nuevo presidente lanzar a su vez una proclama asumiendo los deberes del cargo. El plan de desocupación fue convenido entre el secretario Hughes y una comisión de dominicanos representantes de los varios partidos de esa república, compuesta de los señores Horacio Vásquez, Federico Velásquez, Elias Branche. Francisco Peynado y monseflor Dr. Adolfo Noel, arzobio de Sanño Domingo. Técnicamente, es co- misión se acordó para nombrar presidente al señor Vicini Bourgos, hombre de alta posición monetaria y gran influencia social en la república, si bien nunca se habla mexicano en política. El nuevo presidente se instalará en el palacio nacional, que le entregará el gobierno militar y nombrará la policía dominicana encargada de mantener el orden, situado dos marinos en los puntos que designe el gobierno militar. El gobierno provisional promulga los más pronto posible las nuevas leyes e cectorales de acuerdo con las cuales han de verificarse las elecciones, convocando las asamblas primarias para que eljan los consejos electorales y estos a los senadores y diputados para el congreso dominicano, al cual corresponde la aprobación del acuerdo celebrado entre Washington y la comisión de dominicanos, corro requisito indispensable para que entre en vigor La misma comisión que nombre presidente, instituida por el gobernador militar, ha convencido en la selección del gabinete del nuevo gobierno provisional y cuyas fa las supli ran los cuatro primeros miembros de la mencionada comisión Griegos y Armenios Huyen Dospavoridos Ante la Invasión Turca El exodo de los griegos de sus sus del este de l'racia presenta un cuadro tragico Los fugitivos estan dispersos en veinte millas de extension Los caminos aparecen llenos de vehículos t rados por buques, burros y caba los Se han utitrado hasta las vacas para conducir los efectos caseros que pueden salvarse La lluvia da caido continuamente sobre las caravanas durante tres días v tres noches En el trayecto se ha formado una laguna de lodo con las huellas de los fugitivos. En muchas millas al sur y oeste de Adrianopolis hay lineas intermínables de hombres, mujeres y niños Muchos de los residentes del norte de Tracia se habian dirigó a la frontera bulgara, para saber entonces que habia sido cerrado el paso Entonces regresaron precipitadamente hacia el río Maritza, la frontera oeste de la parte de Tracia que se entrega a Turquia. De vez en cuando se escucha este grito —Vienen os turcos Gritos de pánco llenan entonces los aires. Se fust ga a los caballitos y demos animales de carga para queuden a prisa. Las mujeres estrenan a sus hijos entre sus brazos. Los hombres marcan lo más lijero posible por entre el lodo removido luego se ve que son un destacamiento de caballeria griega. Los ginetes rígges entonces empiezan a urgir a los fugitivos a que avancen rápidamente, gritandoies, hijero; jihero! Los comandantes griegos advierten a los cristianos fugitivos que no hay tiempo que perder, agregando la gendarmería turca atraviesze la tracia y no hay sino pocas tropas aliadas que los vigi'en. Los que dirigen la caravana apenas escucian esas admoniciones, con la vista fija en el horizonte y al poco rato vuelve a oirse entre la muchedumbre en fuga el mismo grito aterrador. Todos los caminos que conducen al Maritza estan llenos de armenios y griegas Aun cuando hay fugitivos de todas las clases sociales, la mayoría de ellos son campesinos Ignoran a donde van a fijar en definitiva su residencia. De lo unico de que están seguros es de que al cuzar el rio Maritza quedaran a salvo, en la fronta griega, a la cual no podran penetrar los turcos Es terable la contemplacion de este exodo de fugitivos Sin hogar, sin dinero, y la mayoria, ellos no poseen sino lo que llevan encima Grecia, especially Macedonia, esta ya poblada de cientos de miles de refugiados. En el país se sufre por falta de alimento y el gobernio de Atenas no tiene fondos suficientes para hacerse cargo de los fugitos os. El unico remedo o es la apelacion a la liga de las naciones y a la caridad publica de los países extranjeros La mayoria de los campesinos huyeron a la primero sefal de alarma, dejando los frutos en las siembras, que van a ser cosechadas por los turcos cuando entran a Tracia. El Alcalde de San Juan, P R.. Pide al Presidente Harding la Destitución del Gobernador Nuevamente se ha alzado una voz de protesta contra la actuacin de E. Mont Reily como gobernador de Puerto Rico En esta ocasion ha sido el señor Martin Travieso, alcalde de San Juan, quien se ha personado en la Casa Blanca y ha presentado sus quejas directamente al presidente Harding. El Sr. Travieso, hablando con el Presidente Harding, manifestó que E. Mont Reily era completamente inutil e incapaz de desempeñar acertadamente el elevado cargo que ocupaba, por lo que solicita a su destitución como gobernador de Puerto Rico La Restauración de Santo Domingo Dlas de jubilo deben ser estos para toda latamilla" hispana. Santo Domingo, uma de nuestras hermanas, acaba de ser restaurada a goce de su soberania y su independencia política después de más de seis años de intervención de las tropas de los Estados Unidos. Un presente provisional, el señor Vicinna Burgos, ha asumido ya las riendas del gobierno. Van a normalizarse las funciones electorales del pueblo "una nueva administración nacional sera en su momento e evada al poler y la república de Santo Domingo habra vuelto a contarse entre el grupo orgulloso y seguro de si mismo de las naciones hispanas de America. La fecha es de gloria para todos nosotros. En este momento, poco hay que agregar a ló ya escrito y proclamado sobre la injusticia, la ilegalidad y la violencia del atentado imperialista contra Santo Domingo. La historia enseña que los hechos consumados tienen una fuerza propia y una influencia inconsistrable, que no hastan a borrar las demenciones y las lamentaciones a posteriori. El atrojo lo incalificable y odoso comendo con Santo Domingo ha tenido ya la reparación humanamente fisicamente esperable, temidas en cuenta todas las c erusiancias. Volver sobre los episodios de estos u timos años, fuera solo no recovar dolores a que el tiempo ha sido pon endo lentivo y abrir her das que sangraron ya demasiado libremente. La paz y el secundo trabajo de la reconstrucción deben servir para calmar todos los reencores aun despiertos, en un ansia celosa de estar a la patria horas de perturbacion y angrista El pueblo dominicano, que tan heroica ejecutoria tene, entre los pueblos amantes de su libertad y su independencia, entra en una nueva etapa de su destino. Ha de marcarla, sin duda, la fe en e. porvenir y la vibrante decision de ganar el tiempo perdido con nuevo esfuerzo, con mayor laboriosidad, y si cabe con mejor espiritu que antes de la calamidad indefendible de la intervención americana En el animo de todos los patriotas dominicanos esta será ya para siempre como una nube llena de dojos, de amarguras y de humilaciones, que por fortuna, se ajea en el cielo libre de la patria amada Velen todos, con un cielo amoroso, con un incasen cuidado filal, por no contribur jamás, directa ni indirectamente, a reproducer la situación que, por el de, echo de la fuerza, sirvio para decidir el atentado cuipable de la intervención Por injustificable que sea esta a la luz del derecho y de los principios inutables de justicia y democacia sus defensores, los imperialistas, los "politicos del dollar" y los que se mancharon pa pando, el atentado, hallan bases de argumento en la situación interior, en la desorganización política, en la inestabilidad financiera, en el desasosiego del país en la hora escogida. Cuanto los patriotas hagan, a costa de cualquier sacrificio, por evitar la renovación de aquellas causas o pretextos, será hecho por el bien de la patria. De donde partir una nueva tempestad y entonces, contra toda razon y todo derecho, el nuevo atropello se utilizará para justificar la injustificable intervención pasada y presente.—La Prensa, N Y. Nuevo Consultor Financiero en Haiti El consultor financiero de los Estados Unidos en Haiti, señor John McIlhennay, ha renunciado el cargo de la negoción definitiva del empestito de diez y seis millones de pesos lanzado recientemente por el gobierno de Haiti en Nueva York El presidente Harding designo para sucederle al señor, John S. Hord, el cual será nombrado por el presidente Luis Borno de Haiti El departamento de estado anuncia que esta operación permite la nueva preparación de las tarifas arancelarias y la legislación sobre rentas internas de Haiti a fin de modificar los fuertes impuestos de exportación sobre el cafe y otros productos. Pronto una comisión de tres miembros procedera a examinar y aprobar las varias reclamaciones que constituyen las deudas internas y flotante de Haiti, para la cual, como miembro de los Estados Unidos, el secretario Hughes ha designado ya al señor J. S. Stanley de Nueva York. El sucesor de Mr. McIlhenny ha estado empleado por muchos años en Puertorico y las las Filipinas y fue durante dos años presidente del Banco Español en Manila. Más recientemente fué empleado del gobierno de Cuba para la redacción de la legislación de las rentas internas y la revisión de los aranceles cubanos. Reorganizacion de la Hacienda Cubana Ea de esperarse que la designación del governador W. P. G. Harding como jefe de la comisión que va a cooperar en la rehabilitación de la hacienda cubana, no impida su realización como governador del ```markdown ``` Federal Reserve Board. Su talento será, por de contado, de gran valor para Cuba, pero es aún de necesidad en este país. La situación utiliza ha presentado innumerables dificultades desde el rumble del mercado del azúcar hace dos años. Predominaron tales elevados precios del azúcar durante la guerra e inmediatamente después, que cuantos puedieron obtener capital prestado se dedicaron al negocio del azúcar. El resultado fue una inflaction sin precedentes, seguida por un desatroso cerrumbe, que dejo a muchos de los bancos del país y a la mayoría de las empresas azúcareras en mal situación. Se declaró una moratoria y se hicieron esfuerzos por el gobierno para remediar a situación, pero esto no fue de ninguna utilidad, y el mismo gobierno sufrio de modo natural a causa del desastre nacional. Aunque el general Crowder, representan o I presidente Harding, ha hecho mucho por solucionar la complicacion politica consecuente, hase visto entorpecido por su falta de preparacion en asuntos financieros. Una vez terminadas las labores del读justamente politico, lo que Cuba ha requerido ha sido consejo experto y ayuda financiera. Es esto lo que se solicita del gobernador Harding que rinda. Queda por estabecer un s stema bancario y por determinarse las condiciones de un empréstito de cincuenta milones de dollars. Esta es labor para un consejero financiero antes que para un perito militar, y es tarea que el gobernador Harding puede capazmente realizar. MARCUS GARVEY DEFENSE FUND HARLEM MINISTERS TO LAUNCH A REVIVAL The agitation about bootlegging and other forms of lawlessness in Harlem forced by some of the newspapers, seemingly, has aroused the preachers to strenuous endeavor to correct the evils complained of. To this end some fifteen or twenty more of the preachers of Harlem held a meeting last week at the Y. M. C. A., West 137th street, and banded themselves together to arouse Harlem. They hope to do it by gospel preaching and have definitely decided to use the whole month of January to warm up the hearts and interest the Christian people in a great united revival to be held at the Commonwealth Casino. The ministers have planned to bring from a distance a speaker or great ability and a gospel solist of remarkable power, and are seeking a chorus of one thousand voices. They have also appointed several committees to successfully conduct this particular meeting. The churches from now on will be leading up to that great event. All Christians in Harlem will be expected to lend their aid in the efforts to turn the tide of underworld influence that is leading so many people away from the path of right. The need of such a revival was voiced by practically every minister present and by letters from others who could not be present at last week's meeting. All denominations have been invited to share in the meetings and nearly all have accepted the invitation to co-operate. This is probably the most important step that has been taken in the interest of the salvation of Harlem and Manhattan for many, many years. At the meeting last week all persons who were employed were named, and a committee appointed. Dr. W. W. Brown, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, is chairman; Dr. W. Y. Bell, pastor of Willisma Institutional Church, is secretary; Dr. W. J. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. K. Elon Church, is treasurer; besides there are several other working committees and everybody in Kerrans is asked by the preschool to pray for the success of this one hometown's goodness effort to reach and influence Meriam for the good of all the offspring. Dr. A. C. Garner, pastor of Grade Congregational Church, 179 West 42th street, is also leading efforts toward making the proposed retreat a success. PRESS MEETING FEBRUARY 7.1922 President) Wilson, Ghehram, Sense and Secretary Agree on Dates for National Organization WASHINGTON, D. C.—(Special)—Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, February 7, 1 and 9, 1923, has been selected as the dates and Nashville, Tenn., as the place for the holding of the next annual convention of newspaper men. President Wilson made this announcement here this week, and stated that an official call was being mailed out at headquarters at Nashville, signed by himself, Joseph I. Jones, chairman of the Executive Committee, and Bishop J. R. Ham'ett, recording secretary, of Jackson, Tenn. The agreement to meet at Nashville for the 1923 session was reached at a special call session of the newspaper men here in the Mu-so-lit Club several months ago, at which time a special report of Mr. R. J. Davia editor of the Atlanta Independent and chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means was submitted and rejuvenated. Plans were perfected for an enlarged organization and a closer co-operation of all the printing trade throughout the race. IP was at this same meeting that Melvin J. Chisum was selected as a special representative of the Press Association to tour the United States in the interest of the organization. At the coming session of the Nashville meeting the newspaper men are to be, so it is said, able to perfect their former plans of standardizing the advertising rates. They are also to adopt the code system, which is being prepared by the chairman of this special committee, Mr. A. L. Holsey of Tuskegee. Among other matters of vital importance to be considered there are many that are on the slate for this February meeting, so that the attendance is expected to be the biggest in the history of the organization, and newspaper men are urged to carry at their masthead an advertisement of this annual gathering, so that such publication will be in itself a calendar for press members.

Never hae there been an English statesman so passionately de- tested, never a man in public ite whose enemies were so many and who hated him so intensely, yet they kept him, hating, despising him, and cov- eruy admiring him, seemingly con- vinced that no other man could ao well serve the country in the emer- gency. ‘The future historian will not find it remark@ble that Lioyd George fel! in October, 1932, he will And it diMeult to explain how he managed to hold powér so long.

Lloyd George had “betrayed” As- quith, the \beral party and Liberal fam. It was only one of the numer- ous “betrayals” of which he has been accused. He has “betrayed” labor and, if you are to believe tho die-hard Con- wervatives, he has “vetrayed” the em- pire. He has squandered it and dis- aipated It. He has been as reckless with his trust as the youth who comes suddenly into possession of a great Jegacy and believes his purse is bound- lesa. a Labor at one time hailed bim almost qs its Messiah.

When fn the next year Mr. George introduced his budget the Lords were Up in arms, but he was not dismayed. He went to Limehouse, the East End ef London, and made a series of vio- lent speeches directed against the House of Lords, the aristocracy in general and the dukes In particular. It was sweet musio to those dock wallopers and longshoremen, hut tt was the axe of the revolution to the Conservatives.
