XIII. No. 13 IN THE NOR COMES TH FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: About eight years ago the peace of the world was rudely disturbed by the cry of war in Europe. The bloody conflict which was the outcome stirred the entire human race to a high pitch of military excitement. Men, races and nations everywhere were called upon to play their part in the terrible clash of arms. Everything during the period was subordinated to the prosecution of the unholy holocaust. The entire industrial system of the world was disarranged and disorganized. An overcrowded labor market suddenly relieved itself by the opening of hundreds of thousands of war-time industries, mills, factories and other plants which were compelled to call into active service millions of idle men and women who were thrown off during the time of peace by the industrial magnates. In the clamor for men and women to fill the vacant places in the industrial world millions of black men and women were called into service. They who were not wanted before were welcomed everywhere. Under normal conditions they had a set place in the industrial and economic life of the nations. It was so arranged that no Negro could have a responsible office, no Negro could find lucrative employment anywhere in big mills, factories or plants. He was to be but a serf in the lower walks, and in the higher sphere he was to be an outcast. Because of this attitude millions of us prior to the breaking out of hostilities in 1914 were thrown into a condition of pauperism, suggestive of very little hope for the future. The plan for the great white race was to gradually close the Negro out of those avenues of progress and economic security, thereby forcing him to starvation and ultimate death. This plan was universal in North America, and but for the war, the nine years following 1913, would have seen a condition of suffering among Negroes, even comparable with the famines of India. THE EFFECT OF THE WORLD WAR But, as Providence would have it, the war came and changed the aspect of things. The people who were doomed to starvation and death were suddenly ushered into an era of prosperity. Black men who never had a square meal for days were suddenly placed in positions of opulence. These new opportunities lasted for fully four years, during which period of time the entire race ran riot over a golden chance. Very little was saved if anything at all by the millions. Whilst other races carefully laid by during this period of prosperity for the rainy days, the Negro indulged in a continuous career of waste. In many of the large American cities on any one day you could see the Negro parading THE FOOTBALL CLASSIC OF THE YEAR WASHINGTON, D. C., THANKS ADMISSION: Box Seats, $2.00 each; Grand Stand by Post Office Money Order NEW YORK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1922 MALCY OF THE DOOM OF THE NEGRO'S PLACE IN THE ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE NATIONS THE NEGRO'S PLACE IN THE ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE NATIONS THE RACE THAT WILL BE STARVED TO DEATH THE RIOT OF WASTE THAT DOOMS THE RACE his fortune on the side walks, either in diamond pins, rings, expensive trinkets or fine clothes. What was not spent this way was riotously spent in the saloons, cabarets, dance halls and on the gambling table. Outside of the Universal Negro Improvement Association no one took any thought of the morrow. The leaders of the race were as drunk as the unthinking mob. Headlong everybody went. The leaders of the community and of the nation indulged in the highest living possible. New automobiles were bought, new pleasure and excursion trips were undertaken at long distances, and in one long procession everyone marched as spendthrifts through the avenue of national waste. THE WORLD RETURNING TO NORMALCY What has happened? We now find the world returning to normal, each community taking on its pre-war adjustment. As men planned before to starve the Negro by closing him out of profitable industries, so is he to be kept out and pushed back today to make room for the strong race that is planning to survive. Undoubtedly we live in the age of the survival of the fittest, when only those who are sufficiently prepared will survive the rigors of a soulless civilization. The Negro unfortunately has made no step in advance. He has laid himself down upon the altar of public sympathy and charity, and now everyone knows that the world is void of these two ancient virtues. Man no longer thinks in terms sympathetic of his brother, this is the time when each must do for himself or die. Realizing the seriousness of things, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has for the entire period of the war, up to the present, been fighting to arouse the sleeping consciousness of the millions of Negroes everywhere to their own future, but unfortunately to a large extent, the seed of hope has fallen on barren ground. Not only in one section of the world, but universally, the Negro has refused to hearken to the voice in the wilderness crying out, "Black men, prepare, prepare, prepare." Can we not ask, can we not realize that without action on our own account, we are doomed forever? Can we not realize that the normalcy of world industrialism means the doom of the R"—LINCOLN UNIVERSITY VS. HOWARD LIVING DAY, THURSDAY MORNING, AT 10:30 $1.50; General Admission, $1.00.

From chattel slaves we have grown to become mental slaves, and as the great white race plans for our doom and destruction, so headlong do we follow not even having enough vision to know that through them and by them the Negro shall never see salvation. THE NEGRO IN NEED OF WISE LEADERSHIP All other peoples are struggling to blast a way through the industrial monopoly of races and nations, but the Negro has failed to grasp its true significance, and seems to delight himself in filling only that place that is created for him by the superior man. Now more than ever we are in need of leadership, and now more than ever our leadership seems to be visionless and dead. Instead of co-operating for the common good, we find the individual leaders of the race fighting each other, planning each other's destruction, hoping that the one might not succeed in his particular effort in directing the race toward destiny. No other race at this time is as hopelessly unprepared as the Negro. Let it be Irish, Jew or Egyptian, each and everyone in his own sphere is making an effort to find a place in the rearrangement of modern civilization. The Negro sleeps on, hoping still that chance will come his way and save him from perdition. But, chance has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people; action, self-reliance, the vision of self and the future have been the only means by which the oppressed have seen and realized the light of their own freedom. THE WORLD-WIDE CAMPAIGN OF THE U.N.I.A. I deem it my duty to again ask the support of Negroes everywhere in assisting the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its world-wide campaign of race adjustment. We want all the people to come together as never before, to stand united for our industrial, commercial social, educational, religious and political advancement. This can be done if every man and woman will make a determination to do or die. Co-operation is necessary for the successful promotion of the ideals of human liberty. This co-operation the Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks. You can help the great cause morally and financially by advocating its principles everywhere, and by sending in a donation to its headquarters, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. Whatsoever help you can give, let it be $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $30, $50 give it now so that the great work can be continued for the redemption of the race.

He added further that never in all his life hau he seen on- thusiasm manifested by colored people about @ movement as he had scen on is last trip. On his trip he found the enemies of the organization had boen at work, but they had failed to do any Gamage to the Association, becouse they h.* found that the Negro in the Gouthland is a different Negro from what he was four or five years ago In coriclusion he sald that this is the only serious organixation that has ever been called into being by colored pso- CRAPS AES.

A. is the only Negro organization in the| world. It is accepted as a power, and ft is up to us to put our shouldors| behind it and put the program over. Hon. Vernal J. Willams, in an olo- quent speech delivered with the fire of & man who ts convinced of the soundness of the Fropodpion walsh be ia eubmitting, pointed Sut that the Great issue that transcends ahd over- shadows all the other collateral issues that-may arise in discussing the future of the Negro was this: “Is Africa going to be redeemed and be inde- pendent?” This great overarching question, Mr. Williams declared, has been brought before the world and before international public opinion tines the sfrent of thé Univoreal Negro Improvement Association. The program of the organisation, he anid, could not be compared with any other Negro organization. in that it had car- ried tho struggle of the black peoples of the world into the great unlimited sphere of governmental power. The purpess of other Negro organizations was almply to contend for certain Umited rights where the Negroes aro, but they forgot that wherever there ere rights to be gained there were certain corresponding obligations, and for any; people to maintain their rights they’ must lve up to the corresponding pbligation of backing thoso rights.

Unsworth Relates Tales of Devotion — Warns of Black and Yellow Peril in Address in Local Citadel The stupendous task of conversion engaged in by the Salvation Army throughout the world and the dominating spirit of self sacrifice devotion and concentration which permeates every phase of that work was told in suriring tones by Colin Leask this worth before a capacity audience in the Salvation Army clublet last night Col Unaworth is the international representative of General Bramwell Boot London Ltd. chief executive of the Salvation Army. He was accorded a rounding office and he briefed the building also the vision of his talk F Mature Nurseries Board Chamber of Committee Commissioner predeed Colonel Imaniwasha's address was not statistic ladder but rather it contained reminiscences leading from the inception of the Salvation Army in London, England, over forty years ago, to the present organization on preaching Christianity the world over. His areas of self-sacrifice unfolding devotion and the martyrdom of the Salvationaries threaded were of a soul touching nature and moved his audience to a deep sense of silence. Work Abroad Colonel Ussworth told of the accomplishments of the organization at home in darkest corners of Africa India and the Dutch Indies. In speaking of the work in India he related tasks confronting the women among the heathens, and of south Africa he uttered warnings regarding the problematical racial difference. The Salvation Army is breaking down the racial hatred and I hope that the great black cloud of upheaval which seems pending will never break. The cry of Africa for the African is still heard though. We are not only working under a black cloud, but under a yellow peril, which if it ever materializes will prove a sorry day for the tens of thousands living in that country," he said. In India there are 200 salvation Army officers, the speaker asserted. Work Among Lepera Colonel Unsworth deeply moved his hearers when he told of the army work in Java, especially among the lopers there. In the Dutch Indies, he pointed out, there are 75,000 lopers and about 2,000 victims under the care of the Salvation's仕. "You back home we can do well to remember our dear nurses out there. Remember, those who serve among those lopers are not appointed for such work but are volunteers—people who have a sacrificed their own personal identity to complete the task." A hearty vote of thanks was voted by Colonel F H Laing responded to by Dr P A Iewal both of whom spoke in highest praise of the speakers' address, commissioner Scanders before introducing Colonel Unsworth also paid high tribute to the work of the Salvation Army, since its organization.

But it is kind of use explained still as we watched a Kaffir mo her arranging her daughter's hair Girls in all countries follow the fashion observed Pro.

This young lady is a great beauty according to Kaffir standards. No doubt many a good chieftain is suing for her hand.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, Y, NOVEMBER 11, 2022 Head of Harlem Business School Pleads for Great Commercial and Industrial Efficiency Among Negroes By I. NEWTON BRAITHWAITE Principal Braithwaite Business School There is an increasing trend on the part of the Negro people of this country to go into business, which is indeed gratifying since it is universally recognized that the greatness of a nation or a people is measured by the extent to which they are engaged in commercial and industrial activities. These are the wealth producers, and the world now recognizes wealth as the proof of greatness. Commercialism, therefore, is the determining factor in the prestige of a country, hence it is that America stands out today as the financial mart of the world because of its vast commercial and industrial activities. It is a hopeful and healthy sign therefore, to find that the Negro people of this country are seeking this avenue to rise to independence, the effect of which will take a large extent be the breaking down of the impenetrable walls of prejudice and racial antagonism which have for centuries encom passed the Negro as a race, because of the fact that in the commercial world he has been but a negligible quantity. It is observed, however, that while the maturer element of the race is making strides toward commercial heights there is an amazing indifference on the part of the younger element to prepare themselves by proper commercial training to carry on the work and accelerate the pace which has been set. Business has been reduced to a science, and as such cannot be undertaken without a certain amount of intensive and specialized training. It is a mistake to believe that a man can enter into business promiscuously and compete with the other fellow who has spent time, energy and money in mastering its intricacies and preparing for the broad field that lies ahead of him. Thus the value and importance of the business school become more and more emphasized as an institution that forms an integral part of the community life of a people. There was a time when colored people were denied the opportunity for acquiring the requisite business training because of the fact that business concerns of their own were comparatively few and there was an absence of institutions where they could go to learn the fundamentals of business. The white business school, with but few exceptions, did not as old them a welcome, and it was simply a question of going out on their limited business initiative and taking a chance at success or failure—more often the latter was the result. This, however, is no longer true, and there will be found in nearly all large communities of colored people one or more Negro business schools which offer the same advantages for commercial training as many of the white schools, thus affording those who are thus inclined an opportunity to enter and pursue a course along the lines that will equip them and make them eligible to enter business for themselves or to serve as aids to others who are conducting business. The business man as he launches out finds that he needs a stonographer on whom he can depend to inform the public through correspondence of his existence. Then, as his business expands, he needs a bookkeeper to make accurate records of his transactions and enable him to keep track of his accounts, so that he is in a position at all times to know whether he is operating at a profit or loss. He also needs the services of a clerk to meet his customers at the counter to dispense his wares to them or to meet his clients at the desk and talk intelligently to them. Hence it will be seen that with the growth of business the services of young men and women thoroughly trained as stenographers, bookkeepers, accountants, clerks, salesmen, office workers, secretaries, etc., are needed, and it is astonishing to find how few there are of our people who can be classed as really efficient in those capacities. There is the constant cry of business men that they cannot get competent workers for their offices. Not so long ago, in conversation with a lawyer, he said to me: "You will be rendering an invaluable service to the community if you can turn out from your school real stenographers who can take down in shorthand what is dictated to them and transcribe their notes correctly." The shortcomings of the colored stenographer may be attributed to one of several reasons. I have found that students are invigiled into school with the idea that after a course of rapid study lasting two or three months they can emerge as full-fledged stenographers. As a result they go in and come out with a mere smattering of knowledge which inevitably produces failure. Moreover, it is found that students are lured by flourishing and catchy advertisements to place themselves under the tutelage of schools where the teachers are not fully qualified from the viewpoint of those who "Fulton, N. Y. 18 July. 1921. "I have signed my wife on this 18th day of July to Grover Coat for his touring car and all the considerations, including one tire, one pump and all the tools in the car at the present time. I let all bonds drop on my wife this 18th day of July, nineteen twenty-one. (Signed). "Frank B. Woodruff." The irony of the affair reappears in with the announcement that Woodruff has lost the car because he failed to meet certain financial obligations, while Mrs. Woodruff has filed from Coast's home and is now in Utica, her address being unknown to either of the men who "swapped" her without bothering to ask her consent. are to employ their product. It is wise therefore, for the student who has made up his mind to make a start to stop and investigate the merits of the school and the ability of its teachers—to find out whether they have by virtue of experience or proven ability demonstrated their fitness to teach others. In other words, make sure they know thoroughly what they pretend to teach, and know it not only theoretically but practically. The simplicity of the proposition is apparent—that as it takes lawyers to teach law, doctors to teach medicine, carpenters to teach carpentry, so it takes short-hand writers to teach shorthand. The stenographic student will find that his time is spent in vain trying to learn under a theorist whose knowledge does not take him beyond the textbook or the classroom and who has never sought or had the opportunity to put his theory to a practical test. In conclusion I desire to say that there are golden opportunities for competent stenographers bookkeepers, secretaries etc. The demand for them will always exceed the supply and the problem of finding persons who are capable to satisfactorily function in these capacities calls for earnest attention if the commercial progress of the race must go forward without any serious handicaps. FOLLOW ME What the Philadelphia Tribune Says About "Follow Me," Musical Comedy, That Is to Open at the Lafayette Theatre, New York City, Week of November 13 Twenty-five thousand patrons of the theatre attended the fourteen performances of "Follow Me." A marvelous production, which in its glorification of mimetic art surpasses anything ever witnessed on a local stage Beats are all sold before the doors open, and standing room is at a premium. These vast audiences that fill each performance seem tireless in thundering its approbation and its pleasure The book is by Billy Higgins and F. R. Whitman, musical numbers by Stanley Bennett, and it is staged by Jerry Mills. The entire production is under the personal direction of I. M. Weingarden. The success of this theatre, marking a tremendous step forward in Philadelphia theatricals, is a fitting place for the presentation of this wonderful production. "Follow Me" is romance and spectacle, musical comedy and vaudouille Its music is so good and its situations so amusing that it holds any sort of audience in its spell There could hardly be a more imposing figure than that of our old friend the sonorous and impressive Ernest Whitman, who takes the par, of Mephisto, and who can be remembered some months ago in stock; he can sing, too, and he demonstrates that he has not lost his voice in songs. He is a masterful fellow, whose determination is ever to permit no opposition to his will, and his introductory prologue is rhymed with good intent, as the impas, Ims Johnson and Evelyn Shockley, who act as pages, pull aside the large curtains and expose to your vision the stars and the entire personnel of the company Stanley Bennett, who wrote the music has in several instances provided melodies that, while tuneful and rich in color, strike one as more ambitious than ordinarily are heard in the modern comedy. There is not an abundance of melodies that may be regarded as striking, but there are songs and ballads to affect each hearer pleasantly and also to provide splendid singing opportunities for Alice Gorgas, Dorris Hudson, Iola Young, Mamie Smith, Walter Brogsdale and Al Curtis. Several of the big hits are "The Dancing Ponies." "The Persian Snake Dance," by Billy Burgeynge; "Just Harmony," by the "Follow Me Four," and the Leggatt Sisters, and the lyrics, be it said, fitted splendidly the numerous spirited or delightful melodies. It would not be surprising soon to hear the dance melodies that numerous adorn the work played by all of our orchestras and danced with enjoyment by appreciative couples. It provides good opportunities for comedy work on the part of the principals. Billy Higgins, with his educated arms and his droll saying she has amused the剧egroes for some years, and Clifford Rosa, another blackface comedian, who has made good. Of course, the story, as far as you can understand, is of absorbing interest with just enough seriousness in well developed spots to hold your interest. There are thirteen scenes with romanticism set in this country, and winding up in taking you any place and everywhere. They are all of admirable creatm. There are twenty-two musical numbers and there is a host of minor characters, with a number of finely danced dancers and choristers, who aid in giving seat to the tuneful melodies sung in illustration of the tale. More garments are worn, sometimes more revealing than otherwise. The unusual nature of the apparel displayed on girls of beauty and of wondrous figures is bewildering. This adds charm to the presentation. "Follow Me" is a musical comedy that sets the foot to tapping with the rich melody of its songs and leaves delicious memories of its Elysium-like plot, but, after all, it is the name part that is the fascinating and enthralling creation, and to it must be accorded the high praise due a super-achievement in theatricals. POWER OF THE U. N. LA SWEEPING THE COUNTRY (Continued from page 2) sent Negro from what he was four or five years ago. Today he is a Negro that you do not have to urge to do things, but you have to restrain him somewhat, because he is conscious of his condition and he sees far more than the Negro here in New York and in many other places the need of an organization of this kind, and the people of the Southland are going to have to reckon with that restless, contending Negro in the Southland, made so by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) Prominent Negrees Joining U. N. I. A. Prominent Negress Joining U. N. I. A. You would be surprised to learn of the number of Negroes of prominence who are coming into this association in New Orleans since the actions of the police officers. Before we left there Governor Parker of the State of Louisiana was making an investigation of this matter, which shows you that the people recognize this association as an issue to be seriously contended with. The Only Serious Organization The Only Serious Organization In conclusion, I want to say that this is the only serious organization that has ever been called into being by colored people, and the very fact that the organization is maintained entirely by colored people's money, the very fact that we are dependent upon colored people for everything is causing some people to have sleepiness nights. Some weeks ago I was speaking at the national capitol, in Washington, and found it necessary to say some things about the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—thing that I rarely ever do—and I called attention to the fact that practically all of the important officers of that association are white men. Some weeks after I left Washington, the Washington Tribute quoted me almost to a word. They did not mention my name, but stated not only what I said, but some things that I did not know about the N A A C P. Listen at this just a moment. The president of the N A A C P. Moorfield Storey, is a white man, the treasurer of the N A A C P. Jel Spinga. n. is a white man, the chairman of the Board of Directors of the N A A C P. Mary White Owington, is a white woman; the director of publicity of the N A A C P. Herbert Selgman, is a white man, three of the vice-presidents are white, including Villiard. This is the association that some men want to accept as a colored organization, and the colored press is up in arms because of the deceit of some of the men connected with that organization. Only Negro Organization We have the only Negro organization in the world. It is accepted as a power, and it is up to us to put our shoulders behind it and put the program over. In closing, let me say that some one talked about going out on the field and destroying the U. N. N. L. A., but if every officer in this association, from the highest down to the lowest, went out on the field now and preached against the Universal Negro Invasion Association this association has taken such a place in the hearts of the people that they would not be able to endanger it; and that will give you some idea of the strength of this great organization. (Applause) Hon. V. J. Williams Speaks The next speaker was Hom. Vernal J Williams, who said. The one great issue, in my opinion, that the Negro peoples of the world are called upon to decide, the one relevant question in my mind that seems to transcord and overshadow all the other collateral issues that may arise in discussing the future of the Negro is this. Is Africa going to be redeemed and be independent? Long before the European struggle began between church and state there had always been raging in the minds and hearts the eternal struggle whether or not supreme governmental authority should be vested in an entire population politically organized or whether or not the government of any people should be repressed in the hands of a fow. The African undoubtedly has felt this burning issue in his heart and undoubtedly has powdered over the question; but quite naturally he may not have been able to give expression to his thought, to his opinion, to his desire because those who had him under their control would not permit him to discuss the question.

EASON Is no longer connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association All Divisions, Branches and Chapters Are Hereby Warned Not to Receive or Entertain This Person BY ORDER UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION The adven of the Universal Negro Improvement Association into the life and existence of the peoples throughout the world has done for the African at home and abroad that which his masters or overlords did not permit him to do at home. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has brought before the world and before international public opinion this great overreaching question—Shall Africa Be Redeemed? No Comparison Is Africa to Be Independent? Is Africa to be independent? That is the big issue. Our enemies try to measure the success of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in dollars and cents. It cannot be done. If the power of a government—if the power of a people—is to be measured alone in dollars and cents, Russia and Germany to night would not be as respected by the other governments of the world as they are respected. And don't forget yourselves: America and England and France and Italy have as much respect for Germany and they have as much respect for Russia as they had before the great international holocaust of 1914. Germany as a political factor in the world remains unbeaten, even though her currency is at a low ebb. Therefore you cannot measure political or moral significance in more terms of dollars and cents. The Test of Governments The great test, the acid test, of the strength and the power of any government or of any organization or movement is to retain the unity of those who go to make up its membership and in maintaining the unity of its membership as the Universal Negro Improvement Association has undoubtedly done, and if there is evidence and proof by any other factor, it is evidenced and proved by your presence here tonight—by your enthusiasm displayed here tonight. I say that by the very maintenance of the unity of its membership, not only in New York but throughout the length and breadth of this country, throughout the length and breadth of the divisions throughout the islands of the seas, throughout the length and breadth of foreign countries, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in maintaining that same continuity of unity it had from its very inception, has proved to the world that the Association is here and here to stay. What of Africa and Her Independence? What then of Africa and her independence? It means that all the other questions, all the other issues, dwindle into oblivion, and that big question still remains on the horizon. I feel that the paramount question for us to decide is Africa. If we lose sight of Africa then we are going to certainly decline, because Africa is the key that is opening the door of success to all the nations. The wealth of Africa, the resources of Africa are regarded by the nations of the world as the things upon which they are going to build their future, and certainly if that is their objective then the black peoples of the world ought to do the same; and that is why the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association challenges the program of any other movement, because on the African question we and we alone are right. (Applause). If the Universal Negro Improvement Association continues to carry the fight of Africa—the fight that was begun in the very inception—the fight that Adams and Sherrill and Marks and Bellagarle took to Geneva—the fight that today challenges white supremacy in Africa—the fight today that causes the powers of the world to be trembling and asking what next is the Negro going to do, I say, my friend, if the Universal Negro Improvement Association continues this fight for Africa it is going to gather in its fold every man, est, righteous-thinking black man and black woman, regardless of where they come from on where they are going to (Applause.) The white man could have no other interests in Africa, but such interests as will help his country; the black man could have no other interests. In Africa but such interests as will help black peoples throughout the world. Clash Between Black and White interests It is a clash between the interests of the black man and the interests of the white man, and in precipitating this clash the Universal Negro Improvement Association has performed to the race, to humanity and to the world at large a greater service than any other Negro organization throughout the world can accomplish or achieve. (Applause.) THE NEGRO WORLD SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11., 1922 THE PASSING OF LYMAN ABBOTT ON October 21st Dr. Lyman Abbott, former editor-in-chief of the Outlook and successor of Henry Ward Beecher as pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Brooklyn, died in the latter city in his eighty-seventh year. He has not been in the limelight during the past ten years, but in the years between 1890 and 1905 his name was a household word in America. He was a striking representative of an important phase of American thought. In the late eighties the Darwinian theories of evolution, biblical criticism, the new psychology and the discoveries in astronomy and geology showing that the universe stretched further out in space and reached further back in time than the churchman had been taught to believe created a sensation. Then pious and religious souls began anxiously to inquire whether the new science, psychology and knowledge of the Bible would undermine the faith of the fathers and the eternal foundations of religion Then champions of the eternal verities leaped to the fore. Rudolf Lotze, Prof Paulsen, Rudolf Eucken and Prof Otto of Germany, Dr James Martineau, the Seth brothers and the Cards of England, Dr Wm. T Harris, U S Commissioner of Education, Prof John Watson of Canada, Dean C. C. Everett, Prof William James and Prof Josiah Royce of Harvard, Dr George Trumbull Ladd of Yale, Prof Borden P. Bourne of Boston University and President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell University and Prof John Piske filled the libraries with books that were penetrating, analytical and profound and eloquent in passages showing that modern science had not undermined faith in God, freedom and immortality. But these works were for the most part too subtle and profound for the undergraduate and for the layman who only had a high school education or a grammar school education supplemented by general reading. Then a group of brilliant preachers came along who acted as the interpreters of the thoughts of the master minds Dr. George A Gordon and Dr C C Dole of Boston, Dr Theodore Munger and Dr Newman Smythe of New Haven, Conn., Dr Amory Bradford of Montclair and Dr Lyman Abbott of Brooklyn, N Y., shone brilliantly in this galaxy who distilled the thought of the great scholars and philosophers and gave it to their hearers or the general public in homeopathic doses Among this group Dr Lyman Abbott was the most conspicuous. He occupied a strategic position, as he was the successor of the famous Henry Ward Beecher and edited the most popular religious weekly. Then his clear and vigorous style and his faith and enthusiasm, which manifested themselves both in speech and writing, gave him a wide hearing. We remember how the main auditorium and the anterooms of Dwight Hall, Yale University, were packed and jammed one Sunday evening to hear Dr Abbott discourse eloquently for one hour on evolution and religion. Not a great philosopher himself, Dr Abbott was a remarkable popularizer of semi-philosophical thought. Dr. Abbott and the Negro Dr Abbott was also intense but while a progressive in religion problem. While a radical in their handling the strivings of the black trial, but not the higher education that the time was ripe for the N and political recognition We do not think that this was as to lack of information about while he was college pastor at him frank, courteous and cordial. Negro men of real scholarship I Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, non foreign Negroes of the eighteenth know of the civilizations that black and Timbuctoo. Possibly he has not taken them seriously or invests perhaps why a semi-philosophical thought, the great divine ethnological thought But we must not criticize Dr upon the scene of action and arrive the researches of Sergi, Rupley, I and Major Felix Du Bois reveal American, medieval and ancient goire's Enquiry was not taken se when the American translation of Negro in Volney's Ruins and the Empires. We must judge men not from the light that they had, rem product of their environment and Compared with his great pr Dr Abbott was not as magnetic writer. In intellectual things he but in things that concern the plan not as keen a psychologist as the main problem of his thesis, the ment to the demands of modern niche. Abbott was also intensely interested in Negro progressive in religion, he was a reactionary. While a radical in theology, he was a conservative in the strivings of the black man. He believed in not the higher education of the Negro, and since he was rape for the Negro to press his civil recognition, he not think that this was due so much to poke of information about the Negro. In a talk he was college pastor at Harvard for a few weeks, courteous and cordial, but he had not known of real scholarship like Dr Alexander Crawd and Wilmot Blyden, nor had he read of the groves of the eighteenth century. He did not civilizations that black men erected in Egypt. Possibly he had heard of these things, seriously or investigated them for himsei why a semi-philosophical thinker in religion taught, the great divine was only a surface of thought.

Just judge men not from the light that we might that they had, remembering that they, to their environment and were influenced by the freed with his great predecessor, Henry Ward, was not as magnetic a preacher, but he was intellectual things he was a more philosophies that concern the plain, common, every day, a psychologist as the great Brooklyn preacher of his times, the problem of the theologi demands of modern thought, Dr Abbott al- Dr Abbott was also intensely interested in Negro education but while a progressive in religion, he was a reactionary on the race problem. While a radical in theology, he was a conservative when handling the strivings of the black man. He believed in the industrial, but not the higher education of the Negro, and did not think that the time was ripe for the Negro to press his claims to give and political recognition. We do not think that this was due so much to prejudice per se as to lack of information about the Negro. In a talk with him while he was college pastor at Harvard for a few weeks we found him frank, courteous and cordial, but he had not known intimately Negro men of real scholarship like Dr. Alexander Crummell and Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, nor had he read of the distinguished foreign Negroes of the eighteenth century. He did not seem to know of the civilizations that black men erected in Egypt, Ethiopia and Timbuctoo. Possibly he had heard of these things, but had not taken them seriously or investigated them for himself, and that is perhaps why a semi-philosophical thinker in religion and theological thought, the great divine was only a surface thinker in ethnological thought But we must not criticize Dr Abbott too severely. He came upon the scene of action and arrived at manhood's state 'long before the researches of Sergi, Ripley, Boaz, Enot, Chamberlam, Weiner and Major Felix Du Bois revealed the part played by black men in American, medieval and ancient civilization, in an age when Gregoire's Enquiry was not taken seriously in America and in an age when the American translation omitted the splendid tribute to the Negro in Volney's Ruins and the Meditation on the Fate of Ancient Empires. We must judge men not from the light that we have, but from the light that they had, remembering that they, too, were the product of their environment and were influenced by the Zeitgeist. Compared with his great predecessor, Henry Ward Becher, Dr Abbott was not as magnetic a preacher, but he was a greater writer. In intellectual things he was a more philosophical thinker, but in things that concern the plam, common, every day man he was not as keen a psychologist as the great Brooklyn preacher, but in the main problem of his tones, the problem of theological readjustment to the demands of modern thought, Dr Abbott ably filled his niche. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS By J. M. B. STEVENS American Correspondence School of Law and Procedure Highly Congratulated for Graduating Belizian Genius Dr. Edward Edgar Eldred Motzen, eldest son of Karl Alexander Motzen, ex-auditor general of the colony of British Honduras, has again been graduated by the wide-world known American Correspondence School of Law of Chicago, Illinois, of the United States of America, after completing very successfully his three-year course in American Law and Procedure. Dr. Edward Edgar Eldred Motzen, who carries the titles of Doctor of Lawa Master of Arts, Certified Audit Accountant and Trade and Commerce Engineer, is termed the Bellian genius for his "God-gifted" qualification. He took up the study of American law and procedure in 1818, after craying many long years for it, and to show what a determined genius he is he never rested content until today no one can get his reasons. Dr. Edward Edgar Eldred Motzen entered the Saint John's Brothmans College of the city of Bellin, to be all the other schools in that city, and came out a successful scholar. The only answer that he gives to his associates and others who come in contact with this genius when asked his reasons for going in for the American law and procedure is, "Let sleep dogs lay; I will be all services to you all yet, my boys, study the bread of international affairs." A paper published every Saturday in the interest of the Negro race and the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the African Communities League Entered as second-class matter April 16, 1819, at the Postoffice at New York, N.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SEEKS BLOOD THE Chicago Tribune is evidently doing its very best to precipitate another race riot in the Windy City. Its blood lust was not satisfied by the riot of the summer of 1919. Not enough black men and white men were killed and wounded to satisfy its desire to see blood flow like milk and water. So the Chicago Tribune by a subtle propaganda is endeavoring to stir the blood and arouse the warlike passions of its Caucasian readers. Recently it had a misleading cartoon, "The Rising Tide of Color," which we commented upon in the columns of The Negro World. Now again in the October 28th issue of the paper it has a misleading editorial entitled "Advice to Negro Leaders," which we quoted last week. This editorial in the Chicago Tribune exhibits the dense ignorance of some of those editors who attempt to dogmatize regarding the colored brother. It made three misstatements regarding the Niagara movement. In the first place, the Niagara movement no longer exists. In the second place, when it did exist it was an organization of black men. In the third place, when it did exist, race mixture was not its slogan, but civic and political equality and economic and industrial justice. What the editor of the Tribune probably had in mind was the N. A. A. C. P. Now if the editor of the Chicago Tribune does not know that the Niagara movement passed out of existence in 1909 and that the N. A. A. C. P. stepped upon the stage, it shows how little he knows of affairs Afric. The editor of the Chicago Tribune seems to have experienced a Rip Van Winkle slumber physically for twenty years and mentally for thirty years. When they began to disfranchise the Negro thirty and forty years ago, when they began to jim-crow the Negro in the South thirty years ago, they cast upon the canvas the bugbear of social equality. It was a camouflage to pull the wool over the eyes of the friends of the Negro. They were trying to keep the Negro away from the ballot box and humiliate him in public travel while they pretended that they were only trying to keep him out of their dining rooms and bedrooms. What, however, we would like the Chicago Tribune do is to define Siki's ethnological status. He was a brave soldier who was decorated for valor and he was the conqueror of Georges Carpentier, the fisticid idol of France, in the roped arena. Does the Chicago Tribune regard Siki as a brave man or a trained ape? Does the Chicago Tribune regard the Negro as a man or as the missing link between man and the monkey that Darwin sought for and found not? Sometimes the Chicago Tribune talks as if it regarded the Negro as a human being and at other times as an animal. Why should the Tribune worry so much about Siki? He is not the first Negro gladiator to reach the top. Molyneaux, Peter Jackson, George Godfrey, George Dixon, Joe Gans, the Harlem Coffee Cooler, Joe Walcott, Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette, Sam McVey, Jack Johnson and Harry Wills have also been in the limelight. Of these Molyneaux, Peter Jackson, Sam Langford and Jack Johnson won athletic laurels in Europe. Peter Jackson was very popular in England, and the Ile Sam McVey was called in Paris "The Black Bliss of the Boulevards." We do not see any logical relation between an African knocking out a Frenchman in Europe and the question of intermarriage and race mixture in America. Perhaps the editor of the Chicago Tribune ate lobster salad that did not agree with him. Perhaps he ate an order of Lake Erie whitefish that was not as fresh as it seemed to be. Perhaps it is a case of gastritis or nervous dyspepsia that troubles the neurotic editor. In that case a dose of jad salts might clear his brain. But to return to our theme. "The Rising Tide of Color" was not caused by any athletic, military, literary or political laurels the African has won, but by the injustice of the European. When Queen Victoria knighted Sir Samuel Lewis in Africa, when she knighted Sir William Conrad Reeves of Barbados, who was also appointed Chief Justice; when Peter Jackson was lionized in London, when musical England honored Samuel Coleridge Taylor, when a military officer was elected mayor of a suburb of London, when James Cammall Smith was made Postmaster-General and bank president in Preston, Sierra Leone, and when General Alfred Amedee Dodda, whose wife coursed Negro blood, was made commander in chief of the French forces in the Boxer rebellion it did not start the Rising Tide of Color. The best antidote for the "Rising Tide of Color" is not opposed in America, Africa or Asia, for that germinated the intense debate but reason, justice and human sentiments are the most important and clear for the "Rising Tide of Color," but also for the widespread all the political, social, industrial and economic illusions of our country. Most by teaching the darker races to hate them, slaying them, chameleon surface and win their freedom, the most of an ideal republic. More a dream of a perfect civilization and the ly interested in Negro education, he was a reactionary on the raceology, he was a conservative when a man. He believed in the influence of the Negro, and did not think Negro to press his claims to power. was due so much to prejudice per se at the Negro. In a talk with him Harvard for a few weeks we found that he had not known intimately like Dr Alexander Crummell and had he read of the distinguisheth century. He did not seem to ask men erected in Egypt, Fithopa I heard of these things, but had negated them for himself, and that local thinker in religion and theology was only a surface thinker in Abbott too severely. He came at manhood's state 'long before Joaz, Emot, Chamberlain. Weiner I the part played by black men in civilization, in an age when Greciously in America and in an age mutted the splendid tribute to the Meditation on the Fate of Ancient from the light that we have, but remembering that they, too, were the were influenced by the Zeitgeist predecessor, Henry Ward Becher, a preacher, but he was a greater was a more philosophical thinker, in common, every day man he was a great Brooklyn preacher, but in the problem of theological readjust-thought, Dr Abbott ably filled his and you will very quickly go in for it" Dr. Edward Edgar Eldred Metzgen is still in the service of His Britannic Majesty, which it is understood he will give up some time later or sooner to carry on his professions in the republica, where he is needed as a minister of the laws of man. He has served with the British government twenty-two years and some months and is giving up even his little life pension, which he says will be of no use to him. The only very solid conclusion that we can come to is that the "God-gifted" genius, who is gifted for foreseeing things, is that there will be some very great change around the United States of America, the West Indies, Central and South America. This is traced to the quotations of Judge Daniel F. Cohanl's speech at the Washington Day dinner in February, 1921. It is claimed by sound authority that this genius is some kind of man to tackle in the problems of life versed in the psychology of mankind. The question arises daily who speaks to him, who sees him passing anywhere, who sees him standing up, is it possible for such a man living? The youngster is needed outside of this possession. The entire staff and members of the American, Correspondence School of Law and Procedure of the City of Chicago in the State of Illinois in the United States of America is highly congratulated for graduating the "Gedgified" genius. This entire school was at no time aware of the fact that they had the pleasure of graduating this genius for it is not every institute or school can train him. There is one important point that must not be ignored under any circumstances, and that is. The American Correspondence School of Law and Procedure has won fame. They have made a genuine name in that little colony of British Honduras which no other institute has done, and it is hoped that they will ever keep that name for the system of educating, service, courtesy on the part of the entire staff and members, and encouragements to advance in life. It is impossible to criticise in any way manner or forst this noble institute of law, and all that is hoped for is that they may have the pleasure of graduating at least 200 more so that they can fill the foreign calls like our learned Dr Metzgen May the blessings of Almighty God ever be with that institute and guide them always on the road of success, that they ever and ever increase abundantly in anything they may handle in life. An August Born It is a well known fact that astrological zentia's are very keenly interested in the young doctor who was born in the month of August, 1887, between the hours of midnight and 1 o'clock in the morning, when some of the most active and ardate planets were in unison, when no other planet was in the way of disturbances. It is simply marvellous and it would pay any astrologer to come in contact with this genius Dr Metzgen Of that which is known of him by very narrow noticing in daily life he is kind-hearted, generous and exceptionally powerfully magnetic emotional and possessed of very strong intuitions which he has never failed to follow from infancy and very strong individuality high noble ideals and a most admirable power for good, which inspire others to do good. An exceptional lover of animals flowers, and noted for humane feelings toward the trouble. Godly ordained for high positions of trust and responsibility that of which he is filling all along his life. As to drawing people of all classes to him in a mystery that cannot be solved. He is a genuine model for young men who wish to advance in the world a model for silence of minds and hearts. Nothing is ever known to draw his passions, known never in life to have hurt the feelings of anyone not even the animals of the small kingdom. A youngster of most active brain education. His will should build his sweet commandments features eyes of gravelish brown which can be staring at one his very magnetic powers are felt. His qualities which are shown like the rays of the sun in his looks, expressions in tone of speech that shrill and agitate beaver, which is one of the golden keys to inspire others to good. He is possessed of the skill of a builder of materials the art of the engineer, the tree of the artist and the golden one of an artist. Lover of laws, included. An able counselor. His Love for Children There is another point that should always be remembered with the genius Dr Metzgner. He is an exceptional lover of children and is made them also a special study in the laws, for he is totally against cruelty to children putting young boys and girls in prison. He is from his experience with them that it is no good to the poor fortunate children of this world. He is utterly against cruelty to children by the parents some of whom are known to maltreat their children with sticks, non-attention in sickness, non education of children. He is, in fact utterly against keeping children in darkness of life and believes that the remedy must come by all means which will result in living true and most desirable men and women of the different State. He is utterly against the desecution of the young and that of the man kingdom and of the animal kingdom shall have their breath of Godly air liberty good feelings given them by God the unseen until death takes place. Can the world ever refuse looking upon such a minister as this young genius Dr Metzgner? No certainly. He will not sit to sit on the curse of the young at any moment called for under these circumstances of the children astray, those becoming mollers before time, those being ill-treated, those who are being slaved to the darkness of a world instead of being shown the golden rays of the sunlight. "Father, Father, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." It is held very strongly that in time to come the young doctor has declared the States and governments will successfully obliterate all these ill of the young unfortunate children with ease and entire success in years to come. The young doctor has made it a life study up to now to study fully the nature of mankind, their build, their minds, what they are and what they are not. It will be very interesting to meet the young genius, for it will assist those who know not of what humans are. He is well beloved by all children. Indeed, and his services are of very great help to them when called upon at any time. Dr Metzgen loves sports such as football playing, cricketting, tennis, bathing in swimming pools and his piano music. He indulges in no kind of card games, horse races and such the likes. He is fond of roaming forests, and loves to see the movies. Garden ing. But in all these give him his law books. Dr Metzgen is the descendant from a very high European family in Copenhagen, Denmark, and it is claimed that those people whom he is the descendant of are some brain people. His grandfather, Karl Metzgen, some years ago was consol for Denmark in Bellise, British Honduras. May Leave British Honduras at Any ' Gall It is learned up to now that the young genius, Dr. Metzgan, may leave British Honduras at any moment's call to fill the field of business, for he has decided that there is room vacant that cannot be filled for the field of law. He is prepared to give full satisfaction whatever he is called to. All success and prosperity is wished for ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY the young law-man, and well-earned golden crown bestowed on him. Subjects Tackled in His Law Examinations Entire Success First Year—Elementary law, Blackstone's Commentaries, I, Blackstone's Commentaries, II, constitutional law, I, constitutional law, II, personal rights, domestic relations, torts, contracts, partnership, agency bailments and common carriers, negotiable instruments, principals and surety Second Year—Wills and settlement of estates, wills No. 2, sales, equity jurisprudence, private corporations, public corporations, real property, common law pleadings and practice, criminal law, criminal procedure and evidence, international law Third Year—Legal instruments, abstracting cases, court process, the constitution, statutory law, commercial law, practical thesis work, final examination All the above subject was tackled by the young genius who have never left a stone unturned in digging the hundreds of volumes by different authorities which today has made him the man of the hour Service with British Government During the twenty-two years and some months' service with the British Honduras Government, Dr Metzgen has served in th) following departments Treasury Department, Customs Department, Education Department, the King's bonded warehouses, the Attorney-General's Department, the Belize Prison Department, and the Audit and District Court, sat on commission with committee investigating into the establishment of an industrial school for boys and girls with the keeper of prisons, William Henry Hour, and many other slight services in other departments. One thing that is looked upon, that all the heads of the departments especially look upon this young man as a hard-working and efficient officer has always borne high recommendations to the different governors he worked under. His experience naturally is broad and ripe, therefore he is compelled by his supreme powers to leave for the fields of operation Visited United States In 1909 Visited United States in 1909 Dr Metzgen visited the United States of America in the year 1909, and has made esteemed friends with hundreds of people. He was in New Orleans, Mobile, Birmingham, Montgomery and the colored institute of Tuskegee, where he met Dr Booker T. Washington and other gentlemen from the West Indies and other parts of the State, who are wishing daily for his return Mr Metzgen gave a very nice account of the treatment meted out to him by the Americans in general, and claimed them to be perfect Christian gentlemen. He in no way was shown contempt, in fact, nor hurt in any way. He was well attested to in all walks of life as a perfect gentleman until he returned to British Honduras. His Next Visit Will Be Soon His Next Visit Will Be Soon Dr Metzgen's visit to his law school will take place soon. It is understood and he will go by way of New Orleans New York and Chicago. Centenary Celebration The celebration of the battle of St. Georges Caye was an entire success on the 11th and 12th of September, 1922. The city was well decorated. Cycle parader motor cars fire engines several societies and the many thousands of school children parading the principal streets of British Honduras in the celebration a mark of history The Americans showed high appreciation with the community. The most attractive feature of the day was the school children, with the American and English flags waving as they passed by, with the strains of the band blending with the voices of the children "Vamos Compadre from St. Georges Caye." REMAINS OF COL. CHARLES YOUNG, U. S. A., TO BE RETURNED TO THE U. S.

This case promises to be one of the most interesting in the history of reform movements and their leaders. The world knows that it is not the question of Marcus Garvey, but the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro peoples of the world that will be on trial. Negroes everywhere shall organize themselves the more to carry the fight for an emancipated race and a redeemed Africa to the final conclusion. Negro traitors and rival organizations are mainly responsible for the action brought against Mr. Garvey. Mr. Garvey, it is stated, will place on the witness stand over a hundred of the plotters who have tried to harass him and the Universal Negro Improvement Association to testify as touching the part in the international conspiracy to incriminate and defend him in the prosecution of the high ideals of Negro Freedom PUBLIC FORUM There will be a public forum at the library every Thursday evening at 8:30 p.m. The first meeting is Thursday, Nov. 9.

YOUNG POST, OF NEW YORK, SENDS OPEN LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR REGARDING THE NEGRO SOLDIERS Octbr 24, 1922. Honorable John W. Weeks. The Colonel Charles Young Post No. 398. American Legion, regrets the discrimination being tolerated by the War Department. The attention of the secretary has already been called to the incident with reference to Mr. Walter Bradley at the citizens' training camp at Plattsburg. The matter was at first taken up with Congressman Martin G Ansorge Later, Senators Calder and Wadsworth referred the matter to the War Department, which promised, over the signature of the secretary, an investigation. The findings of the investigation, while proving satisfactory to the department were anything but complimentary to the nearly 400,000 Negro soldiers who labored and fought while the nation fenced for democracy Conciliatory to the situation, the excuse given for rejecting colored applicants was, "No citizen's military training camps were planned or held in the Second Corps area for colored candidates, since those camps are held for the purpose of filling up the organized reserves and there are no colored reserves organizations in that corps area." We appreciate the information relative to the existence of a camp for training colored citizens in the Fourth Corps area, and invite the attention of the secretary to the fact that at Camp Devens, Mass, where no distinction was made, eight colored citizens attended, two of whom were commissioned and a third given honorable mention As American citizens whose history in the land antedates the Mayflower, a people whose blood stains every battle ground in the nation's history, and above all as warriors whose records stand unchallengeable, we feel justified in protesting. We are certain that such conditions are bound to obtain until taken into serious consideration at the fountain source of American life. Until the high offices and powers of the United States Government cease to consider these matters in terms of racial difference, color and geographical sectionalism, there can be no hope of national homogenization. We look to the day when the stamina and morale of the high functions of the United States Government shall be sufficient to face truth and deal with conditions in the traditional American manner. There is only one solution of the American problem, that is, by squarely facing naked facts. An American is an American, a soldier a soldier. When the next battle call is sounded Negroes will be called upon as always before. They will be commanded by Negro officers even more in the future than heretofore. As heretofore, black and white man will mingle on the battle field. The earth will not recognize white blood nor black. The present is a forecast of the future. The morale of one affects that of the other. Unity in peace is the best security in war. The regrets of the secretary are expressed for the occurrence of the aforementioned circumstance and assurance is given that there is no intention on the part of the department to make any discrimination on account of color. The attention of the secretary is respectfully invited to this—that in the ordinary functions of citizenship, the question of color is submerged as much as possible; in the functions of the War Department special emphasis is placed upon color. The intention cannot overweigh the fact. This organization, with many other Negro organizations throughout the country, is aiming to perpetuate or rather contribute to the 100 per cent program of the American Legion. Whether this organization or any other shall in any measure succeed in this undertaking depends not upon the vacillating North or the solid South, but upon the conscience exercised at the seat of Government at Washington. The American people must face this fact and effect a sensible and intelligent disposition of the matter. The situation is too serious for us to continue fooling ourselves in believing that there is any other salutary means of strengthening the nation. In matters of taxation and other contributions which go to make operative the machinery of the land, we beg to note that special consideration in so far as color is concerned is quite overlooked. Colonel Charles Young Post No. 398 American Legion Headquarters. 2350 Seventh avenue, New York. PLAIN TALK TO THE JAMAICA GLEANER To the Editor of the Jamaica Gleaner Sir, I have noticed that you have received a curtain lecture for your so-called defense of Jamaicans by a countryman of yours, some time ago in the Negro World, of which you are well deserving, and I. the undersigned, am desirous of adding one more stripe to your penalty, sir. You have pretended to be very friendly to your countrymen, by encouraging them not to hand out their "meager earnings" to an organization that is not founded on honest principles, or words to that effect. But you seem to be one of the many men who cannot fall to see the mote in another's eyes, but can never see the beam in yours. If you want to be of valuable service to your "countrymen," I urge that you take a vacation, and tour the island of Cuba, and become acquainted with the miserable hardships that not Jamaicans alone, but all foreigners of Negro descent, have to put up with to obtain their meals, and not even the good kind at times, and then you would be able to see if the organization known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not the right organization for Negroes to support. Otherwise, you may stay right there and ally yourself with the representatives of your government, and legislate in the interest of us sojourners in the island Republic of Cuba. There are thousands of us here now stranded, many have returned to their so-called homes and other climes, in like manner, after rolling under the most disadvantageous conditions known to a so-called civilized world, and a piece of white paper given from 1920 until the present time has found no space in the exchange markets. Many of us have been inhumanly treated, sometimes killed, some have been accidentally killed while working for the railroad companies, others damaged while working for sugar companies, and what is the redress? Sometimes the insurance company pretends ignorance; for instance, a Freddie Robinson was accidentally killed while at work in the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MEMBER 11, 1622 toy employ of the Norte Cuban Railroad, on January 12 of this year. His sister, Miss Beatrice Robinson, after being twisted and turned, was told by the insurance company in Havana that they had no record of such an accident. Meanwhile the family of the superintendent of the same railroad, who died from the cause of the same accident, was well looked after. Why don't you become a little more interested in these things, which are of such vital importance to your "countrymen" and which the Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring to rectify? Respectfully yours. JOSEPH A. TODD. Moron, Cuba. APPROPOS BISHOP HUTSON'S DISCUSSION OF THE NEGRO PROBLEM IN WEST INDIES Editor The Negro World A discussion of the Negro problem in the West Indies by the Rt Rev Edward Hutson of Antigua, B. W. I., was only a desire on the bishop's part to be interesting. He spent one year at the General Theological Seminary in New York as a student, hence he has experience with the American "point of view." He must find a point of contact with his audience. To be fair to the bishop, I do not think that he intended to reflect in any way upon the morale or intelligence of his countrymen. Yet it is not the intention of a speech that counts, but its results. He has exaggerated a few points for effect. This is unfortunate at this time when Roscoe Simmons ceases to by night or day his anti-West Indian crusade. I lost my respect for the gentleman when he attacked the late Bert Williams. No white man attacks another successful white man by reference to his native home, he finds other grounds. Justice Sutherland was born in England. He came here at the same age that Bert Williams did, yet President Harding appoints him to the Supreme Court. "He isn't nothin': but an Englihman." Bert Williams "came to our terms." He was "more American than most American." It amuses me when "culud folks" talk about prejudice. They practice the thing they are fighting in others. It amuses us who "pass." Here is where we find joy to pass by like the Levite. Your ants won't hurt; we can help I hold no brief for Garvey I don't belong to the organization. I was graduated from the leading American university, so I am a disciple of fair piay. The Chicago "Defender" of October 14 carries an editorial criticism of the Chicago "Tribune" for its continual unfairness in giving prominent place to those things which show the bad side of the Negro. Also many of the "Tribune's" articles are grossly exaggerated. This criticism is fair. Yet the Chicago "Defender" caricatures Marcus Garvey and gives prominent place to some of the most ludicrous stories about the working of the organization. If Marcus Garvey "must go" and for this purpose you should vilify and exaggerate, then you are justified in using your newspaper r for this purpose. Granting that he is a public menace, but on the other hand it the editor of the "Tribune" has certain innate beliefs about, the Negro isn't he justified in giving expression to such beliefs? Of course, neither of you is justified, for a journalist must be impartial and just. Must criticize, that is, pass judgment To do this, one must point out the merits and demerits. I wonder how many Negroes can do this. One must think accurately and impartially. To return to Bishop Hutson. I must be brief. HAIR LIKE POLISHED EBONY ZURA, famous Queen of the Moors had soft long hair which shone like the Raven's wing The Ancient Moorish Secret of shampooing the hair, now accessible to the race How often have you admired people with long, shining hair, soft and luxuriant? They were not born with beautiful hair, but have learned the secret of hair health which is simply a matter of caring for the hair Nature gave them. People of discrimination are now using the ZURA SHAMPOO which is a compound of bland Moorish and imported olive and opossum oil, prepared by a $15,000,000 company. The use of ZURA SHAMPOO will absolutely eradicate dandruff and leave the scalp with a cool, refreshed feeling.

He says: "There is virtually no social intercourse between the two battles, but we all worship together and go to the same altar." Yet his first cousin married a Negro—Mr. Walk. He was at one time assistant auditor-general. He couldn't "pass" in America. The aforementioned lady is the daughter of a former bishop — Bishop Branch. 3. He was elected as a "dark horse" as we say in American politics. 4. He is not looked upon as a representative bishop; not because of his blood, but his brains. At Codrington College, Barbados, he finished with a "pass" degree. The college at one time refused him a "D.D." on this ground. He came to America to the General Theological Seminary for a year's training. Brilliant white men go to England Brilliant colored men come to America and Canada.

Oct 28 — Relative to your editorial that appeared under date of October 28, under the caption. Advice to Negro Leaders," permit me to offer the following comment You have made the same mistake that is so common of most white people who express their views on the so-called race problem. In that your source of information belies the real thought of the Negro today Like the average white man who thinks of the Negro in terms of conclusions drawn from bootbacks, juntors, porters and washerwomen, you have quoted the Chicago Defender as your source of enlightenment on what the black man is thinking, and the Chicago Defender is a newspaper enterprise, a commercial institution, representative of the thought of reactionary Negroes, and does not reflect the sound and intelligent thoughts of Negro students, thinkers and statesmen This old crowd Negro leadership whom you quote in the Chicago Defender, who have been appealing, begging, pleading, petitioning and playing the cry baby for fifty years, in their search for equal opportunity, amalgam- mation and justice, have been relegated to the background by the new leadership in the race, who are determined to make the Negro stand up as a man by his own merits and his own accomplishments. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, with its $4,000,000 members, are out to do this, and in due time they no doubt will prove to the world that what white men have done Negroes can do.—J. Jackson Tillford, in the Chicago Tribune. NEGRO PROGRESS Those who believe in the capacity of the Negro to become a good citizen of a civilized state will receive much encouragement for this faith from a British parliamentary report. The author is Mr. E. F L. Wood. Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies. The subject is the British West Indies. It is created from the political standpoint. Mr Wood shatters some old theories regarding the incapacity of the African Until the present popular estimation of the Negro in England and in this country has been based on the book, "The English in the West Indies," by J. Anthony Froude. This historian declared that any attempt to establish in those islands native elective representatives with authority would be a fatal mistake. It would ultimately lead to the exodus of the white population whose presence is the chief hope of preventing the islands from falling into barbarism. Mr. Froude had also the belief that the mulatto partook of the vices of both the white and black races. Needless to say, this prejudice against persons of mixed blood as a class has been proved as lacking foundation in fact It remained for Mr Wood to give the official quietus to this doctrine of Mr Froude. In Jamaica the Negroes have had the franchise for three decades. After this experience, he declares that the colored element there is a valuable, progressive and increasingly influential body. He further says: "What I have seen of the elected members of the Legislative Council of Jamaica, taken as a whole, gives me no reason to doubt the essential sanity of the electors in their choice of representatives. The body of the elected members appear to be animated by a high sense of public duty and a full consciousness of their responsibilities in the business of government." The members of whom he writes are predominantly colored men elected by constituencies in which the great majority are Negro peasant proprietors. His report is regarded as proving the ability of the transplanted West African native to develop his qualities for good citizenship. Mr. Wood further recommends that Jamaica receive a greater degree of self-government. He is convinced from the experience IF IT'S ABOUT AN AUTOMOBILE, C JONES Young Men, Grasp Your Opportunity!

JONES, Manager KORAGE JONES, Instructor HUDSON G. PEYER, Superintendent there that the Negro can become litter for rule in a free state. Mr. Wood's report has a certain bearing on Canada. When the question of confederation with the West Indies came up a few years ago, one of the principal arguments advanced against it was the barrier imposed by the presence of the black population. These objectors were steeped in the errors of Froude and unacquainted with the genuine ability of the Negro for self-development and progress. Under the more liberal system of government in Jamaica, moreover, the island has become prosperous, and white men are now making more money there than in the days when colored men were without the franchise. The example of Jamaica should give encouragement to the friends of the Negro in the South. Education and good treatment are what he requires there to become an industrious, prosperous and creditable part of the population. It also opens brighter prospects in the day of self-government and self-development for the British Empire.—The Border Cities Stan Windsor, Ontario. THE INCONSISTENT CIVILIZED MAN The refined, cultured modern gentleman of present-day civilization usually is legally married to just one woman. He criticizes the African because of his polygamous nature—that's his plurality of wives — notwithstanding the fact that they are all his legal wives—even if they amount to a small army at times. It is possible that one would be the favorite among so many. Nevertheless, that is a part of his social system, and he strictly abides by it. Considering all things he is honest to his convictions. This, however, cannot be truthfully said of the refined, cultured modern man of the existing civilization. He will be legally married to one, woman and entitled a horde of others secretly. Irespective of this conditioning he now it fit to criticise his so-called semi-barbatic brother. Many men use by nature polygamous — some secretly — some openly. This is principally responsible for many of the great evils which disturb or beset the present social system. We believe it would be using good judgment if the modern Chesterfieldian would stop criticizing the African or any so-called semi-barba-io people, when he honestly considers the idioyncrasies of his own social system.

MAYER PUBLISHER: NEW YORK GROUP ```markdown ``` HEALTH TALKS By DR. E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS Alcohol and Prohibition From time immemorial people have craved the stimulating effect of alcohol. It seems to me that some of the most brilliant chapters of the world's history were periods when the use of alcohol was universal. Painters, sculptors, poets, men of science and learning, leaders of thought who have added much to the world's advancement have been men who sought the stimulating effects of alcohol. It serves a legitimate purpose, but, like many other things in this world with which mortal beings come in contact, the weak and unfit and inherently susceptible fall prey to its misuse. Reliable statistics state that only about $4\%$ per cent. of the insane and defective are made so through the use of alcohol. All men are not susceptible to the ill-effects of alcohol, taken in the proper amounts. Many men who have been daily consumers of alcohol grow ripe in age, forceful in character, robust in intellect, and finally die of some aliment or disease, not due to inflammatory or degenerative changes in the heart, kidney, liver or nervous tissues; and these are the places in the human system which are attacked by alcohol. On the other hand, we know men whose use of alcohol has not been excessive either in the amount used or the length of time of its indulgence, who succumb early to life to a disease brought about by alcoholic indulgence. We see the same results in the use of otic stimulants or foods. An old say ing I have heard—"What is one man's food is another man's poison"—is quite pertinent in the use of alcohol. Individuals may show susceptibilities to certain foods and medicines, percular to themselves, and not harmful to the majority of other people. This is due to some inherent weakness or inferiority in the cells of certain of the organs of the body—such as the heart, liver, kidney, nerves or brain. In fact, the belief of many medical men is that alcoholism is but an inherent inferiority in an individual, and instead of placing the blame on alcohol itself as a poison, the blame should be placed on an inferiority in cell structure and its metabolism or physiological activity; in other words, alcoholism manifests itself only in a physically and mentally abnormal individual, and the majority of the people of this world are not of this class. This, therefore, is the important point for reformers and anti-prohibition leaders to remember. The inherently weak, like the poor, are with us all the time, but they are not in the majority; they are the ones who, because of this inherent susceptibility and weakness in their constitution, will, by "hook or crook," get a worse substitute for their craving if alcohol of the proper and best kind is prohibited by law. Thus the last state is worse than the first. The condition today of New York city, and especially of Harlem, with reference to alcoholism is, indeed, bad. Drunkards are to be seen everywhere; disease and ill-health of the digestive tract are very prevalent; crime and immorality as a result of brain deterioration are common; we physicians, from the history of these cases, detect the cause to be indulgence in alcohol of BUILD YOUR OWN RADIO Save Money Compete For Your Community Build Your Own Radio Build Your Own Radio LUTHER IS LAUDED AS LIBERA TOR OF INDIVIDUAL SOUL Anniversary of Reformation Leader Inspires Rev.

He Says inferior grade, and the type of inflammation in the various organs is surely of severer forms than in days gone by. Alcohol in bonded whiskey or brandy attacks the cells in the special centers of the brain, giving certain hallucinations, but reason and judgment are usually present or but slightly impaired, while the volatile alcohol in "moonshine" whiskey attacks the cells in various association centers of the brain, and thus reason and judgment and consciousness are seriously impaired or utterly lost, and the person becomes "wild" and irresponsible. This is the kind of "drunks" we see today and this is the kind of whiskey that is being sold promiscuously with the protection of police and prohibition officials. What is really needed is a drastic method to control the sale of alcohol of the better kind, and not prohibitory laws preventing the manufacture of good bonded whiskey or its sale to the proper persons so desiring its use in other words, temperance is needed and not prohibition Combined with this an educated public opinion condemning and prosecuting the politicians and public officials who protect the unscrupulous venders and manufacturers of "moonashine whiskey would do more good for the inclined alcoholic and public morality in general than the asinine prohibition laws which we have today CHIROPRACTIC AND WHAT IT IS By THEO. A. TOBIN. D. PH. C. H. Chiropractic is a drugless health science of the cause of so-called disease and the art of adjusting the human spine when its segments are out of natural alignment, so that mental impulse can transmit normal health functions to every organ and part of the body. It is a system of adjusting that includes the use of nothing but the bare hands to locate the vertebra that is out of alignment, and effect its replacement to normal position by a peculiar move, thereby relieving the pressure from the nerve. The chiropractic theory is that in consequence of mal-position: vertebral segments the openings between the vertebra, through which the spinal nerves pass, are affected, that, in this way the nerves are impinged, and that such compression is the cause of the majority of so-called diseases. For illustration, a nerve that supplies mental impulses to the stomach is impinged, the carrying capacity of that nerve is decreased, and the mental impulses of life force can not get through the impinged nerve. The result is lack of nerve force to the stomach, and the stomach can not do its function properly and you have stomach disorders The same is true with other organs in the body. For illustration, suppose you have a garden and the only means of watering it was by a "water hose." If something fell across the hose what would happen? Of course, the water would stop flowing, and the plants in your garden, not getting the required water, would wither and die. The same thing happens to a nerve that is implaged. To remedy the cause of the obstructed water hose you wouldn't pour oil in the hose or proceed to cut off the hose where the obstruction was, but you would take off the pressure from the hose and the water would then again flow naturally. That is what the chiropractor does in case of nerve pressure. Nerves demand freedom from pressure to insure good health. THE NEGRO WORLD, ED AS LIBERA- OF INDIVIDUAL SOUL In Leader Inspires Rev.

CITY Write Name and Address Plainly Yesterday was designated as Reformation Day'—the Sunday nearest October 31 the date on which in 1617 Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the door of Castle Church, Wittenberg—and Lutheran pastors made the German monk the topic of their sermons. At the Church of the Advent the Rev Augustus Stolme took his text from John 8 36. If the Son shall make you free, he shall be free indeed. "Authority and freedom the pastor said, are the two poles between which the human mind has oscillated since the beginning. They have been favorite subjects with philosophers and the shibboleth of the man in the street in his longing for better times. And man has attempted to spell progress in his increasing repudiation of the un and the eager advocacy of the other. "Authority has become invested with a hateful ring to the modern car while fringing to casts the spell of other music over the heart. Herewe have not been able to see beyond the contradiction in terms and to find that one supplements the other. We are ever extremists, individualist and Socialists drive us into opposing camps, but the one-sided emphasis of each is really but half of the larger truth that embraces both Luther's Great Service "The Reformation of the sixteenth century, which we celebrate today was a revolt against authority. Through the stream of the centuries the great truth of which our text speaks has become clouded and finally so obscured that man has become a mere cog in' religious machine. It was a form of collective bargaining with heaven that said simply Join us and we will save you. And when the membership card in the union appeared in the letters of indulgence which Tetzel offered the ninety-five theses of Luther mailed to the door of All Saints' Church raised the issue of freedom for the individual soul, and when at Worms he stated his position. 'Here I stand I cannot do otherwise' modern independence drew its first breath and freedom began once more to pulsate in the arteries of men "But if the Church of Rome stands for authority as over against freedom, Protestantism suffers from its emphasis on freedom to the utter neglect of authority. We have come upon a time when the danger of a one-sided position is alarmingly evident. "As we look out upon America—and indeed upon the world—today we observe everywhere a temper that is unwilling to submit to any authority. We can easily account for it. An hour her strucure on the clock of the world that means a new order of things. Liberty Implica Peril "Liberty always implies peril. It is a test of character. We deplore the destruction of home life, the failure to teach children obedience. In our national life we chronicle race riots, disregard of human life and property mob spirit and a new lawlessness that obtains in so-called best homes. In the industrial world, the most omnious thing is the lack of authority on the part of labor's leaders. "In the church creeds tend to multiply and denomination to consolidate. The old principle of authority is quite less and it is curious to see the alignment of fundamentalists and liberals the fundamentalists contending with one-sided emphasis for authority and the liberals with similar one-sidedness battling for freedom. "Freedom of conscience and the authority of Christ were the cardinal points of Luther's teachings. Luther is really the rediscoverer of the individual. It is not true that Luther substituted an infallible book for a fallible Pope. The book must be tested by this touchstone, even Christ. Only so far as it was a record of Christ was it of value to him "This year we note the four hundredth anniversary of Luther's translation of the New Testament into the vernacular. He exulted in giving this book to his people because it brought them Christ, and it is the great book of freedom because it brings the authoritative message of the liberator of man."—New York World, Oct. 20.

EMONEI CARTER Subject "Apparent and Real Failure" I Kings xix 4 I, only I, am left, and they seek my life to take it away" Elijah believed he had failed when he uttered this text Failure is found in the lives of all great men. Moses does not enter the land to which he has led the people. John dies in prison, Jesus on the cross. If we turn to the great secular lives the record is not different. Gaileo is imprisoned, Rembrandt dies in poverty and neglect, John Keats dies saying. "My name is written in water." But in considering such histories we have to distinguish between apparent and real failure. Did Moses really fail? He created a people, bound firmly together by the bond of piety, and for forty centuries his work has endured. Did Jesus really fail? That very death upon the crises was the means by which he achieved his conquest of mankind. "He died upon the cross He made, Without a lip to bless, He rose into a million hearts. And this was his success." But Elijah would have failed if he had made peace with Ahab. John would have failed if he had accepted a place and a pension in the court of Herod. Jesus would have failed if he had compromised with the Pharisees and become a king John Keats beat out his life in torture to create something perfect, and, conscious of his incompetence, he said "There is no fiercer hell than failure to accomplish a great purpose Ah' yes there is. The fiercer hell would have been the surrender of that purpose. He might have become John Keats, M. D., with a neat doorplate on DR. HOLMES THRILLS- URBAN LEAGUE AUDIENCE DR. HOLMES THRILLS- URBAN LEAGUE AUDIENCE One of the most enthusiastic meetings witnessed in Harlem for some time was that of the New York Urban League hold at Mother A. M. L. Zion Church Sunday afternoon The church was packed with members and friends of the league. Arthur C Holden, the new chairman of the Urban League, presided. He was introduced by Miss Elizabeth Walton. James H Hubert spoke of the accomplishments of the league in New York City, referring especially to the growing interest on the part of the Harlem public and its realization that the league belongs to the people rather than to the Executive Board or those persons who carry on the activities. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of Daytona, Flin was the next speaker "All we want is an opportunity. The Negro woman wants the same chance that is given to the white woman. She wants it not as a Negro woman, but as a woman" said Mrs. Bethune Referring to the league a program of interracial co-operation, she declared that no white person need apologize for working with colored people, and no colored person should apologize for working with white people in a program for improving conditions not only of the Negro but our entire land and country. "For this work of the league," said she, "helps the white man as much as it does the Negro." Dr John Haynes Holmes said "What has the church to do with the Urban League, and what has the Urban League to do with the church? If I had asked this question twenty years ago the answer would have been easier. But today we recognize the obligation of the church as something larger than the mere salvation of souls. It may preach soul salvation until Kingdom come but unless conditions of living are improved, unless the health housing, employment and recreation of its members are safeguarded, it will proach in vain." Dr Holmes declared that 90 per cent of juvenile delinquency in New York City comes from three districts, the lower East Side, the middle West Side and East Harlem, that this is no indication that the boys and girls in those districts are any worse than the boys and girls on Riverside Drive or other sections of the city, that a delinquent community, a delinquent city government, a delinquent church, have allowed BISHOP L E GUINN 633 East and Publsh stret, Cladimall, Ohio.

In the light of history, both sacred and profane, can the Universal Negro Improvement Association hope to be different? Men and measures may be presented with varying degrees of comprehension. Deeds of men and laws to regulate may be misunderstood, but the motive actuating the same may to all appearances be a failure, but it is not if the spirit of right is there, if the seat of justice is enthroned thereabouts. The man who never attempts anything worth the while cannot fail. It is only the man who has a high and great ambition who fails apparently. It is better to fail in a high ambition than to succeed in a low one, for the only real failure is that which dims the soul and stains the spirit which wins the temporal by the sacrifice of the eternal. Let us, then, gather strength from each seeming defeat, let us push over forward toward the goal of lofty ambition, bearing in mind at all times that the price must be paid in full. That the blood price seems to be the well-woven fabric of every great man's achievements. Let us, therefore, give our last full measure of love and devotion to the cause we espouse, knowing full well that 'might is only selfishness and cannot, ought not, win." But rather, the victory is to him who faints not, but endureth to the end. In life's struggle we fall only when we play the "quitter." In the great storm of life 'abide ye on the ship." these communities to become dolin- quent producing sections. At the request of Dr J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M E.

STAGES INTERESTING MEETING A NEW ORLEANS CREOLE ON THE U. N. I. A. October 28, 1923. The Miranda Division, Charter No. 608. On Sunday, Ifnd. a pleasant Sunday afternoon was held by the Miranda Branch, which was fairly attended. It was opened by an address given by the president, Mr J Watson, who, after speaking, introduced our honorable vice-president, Mr Rickett, as the chairman for the service, who, after giving a short address of welcome, took the chair The first was a song by the choir, "Sabbath Greeting," followed by a duet rendered by Mrs. E. Foster and Miss B. Thomas, a chorus by the choir, "On to the Field." A recitation by Mr. Dwyer, followed by another by Miss B. Blake, 4 years old, the audience being delighted with one so young participating in the service. The next a song by Mrs. Snipe, a recitation by Miss D. Foster, next, song by choir, Mr Jones, the vice-president of the Palmarito Chapter can, forward and gave a very eloquent speech. He said our leader, the Hon Marcar Garve, who has now put himself in the place of Moses leading the children of Israel to the Promised Land, so is he. God has now ordained him to be our leader to lead us on to that our native land, Africa, and therefore he expects every member of the race to do his duty and to do it faithfully do it truly and sincerely, which spells immediate success, never mind what others may say and do, but remember that Africa is crying to us for help and it is absolutely imperative that we do all that lies in our power to help our mother land, Africa. He ended his speech by unveiling the photo of the Hon. Marcar Garve, which was given as a present to the community by Mr J. Thomas, which was highly appreciated by many HIS HIGHNESS THE POTENTATE G. M. JOHNSON VISITS THE NEWARK DIVISION, THE QUEEN OF NEW JERSEY: GREAT WELCOME GIVEN HIM Never were more interest and enthusiasm manifested in the Newark Division than on Sunday, when His Highness the Potentate visited the Division. Although the notice was very short, the hall was packed to the uttermost and standing room was unavailable. All of the officers and members were out to welcome him on his first official visit. He was met at the railroad station by Dr. T. T. Wright, who operates a sanitarium in the city. Deputy John O'Loughlin and a detachment of Legions and Motor Corps headed by Lieutenant Corrish, and was taken to Adelbahia Hall by automobile Another detachment of Legions, Motor Corps, Black Cross Nurses and Juveniles, headed by Major Irving, formed a guard of honor and escorted His Highness to the hall where he was received by the President, Mr Oscar Dawson. The Lady President, Mrs. Emma Brown, was conspicuous among the officers for the manner in which she received His Highness. A queen could not outclass her in the manner in which she acted. The meeting was opened by the President, Oscar Dawson, in its usual form, after which the hymn, "God Bless the Potentate," was sung. The welcome address was made by Deputy John O'Loughlin, after which a musical and "literary program was rendered which culminated in a few remarks by the President and the presenting of Dr By WALTER DECOU His Excellency the Honorable Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Representatives, Ambassadors. Delegates, Officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and all its auxiliaries of the African Communities League, friends and enemies: I am here before you as a spiritual instrument in the material called Walter Decou, an organ, a form of producing an articulated sound. An articulated sound is a sound that comes from the organ of speech. I am here to speak for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and to inform the enemies and readers it is not only an association, it is also a spiritual movement. Therefore, unto the enemies who are striving to overthrow our association, they are losing their time, wherein we shall stand the more as a spiritual congregation. That determination already within you, greater determination is within me, and it is why I come spiritually to tell you positively, "Africa shall be free." Concerning myself, I am of French descent, and so as I have been handed down from France, I am raised up a Negro like you. And as I am of French descent, so I am a Negro resurrected. I am here to speak concerning the head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Honorable Marcos Garvey. I am the tail, and it is for that reason that I come spiritually, making both ends meet unto your ocheers and singing of the National Anthem. The next, a duet by Misses Ramsay and Thomas, entitled "Over the River of Light" (cheers), followed by a speech by Mr. Francis, the president of the Palmarito Chapter, who said he felt proud of standing in the midst of the congregation to speak in behalf of the U N. I. A., and now is the time of delivery and we should always have in view the motto, "One God, one aim, one destiny." Let us all say, as Nelson said in the battle of Trafalgar "England expects every man to do his duty," so do we. Our honorable leader expects us to do our duty. Join hearts and hands with determination to get the program over The president, Mr J Watson, then came forward, reviewing and laying special emphasis on the very important points raised by the two last speeches. The next, a duet sung by Misses Rammy and Foster, entitled "A Welcome to Our Sabbath Home" next. recitation by Mr Dwyer, 'U N I A A's Privilege,' which was quite appropriate. Mr Marke, the executive vicepresident, Cayo Mambi Division, came forward, giving a short address, telling us that he has devoted himself to this great movement and he wants every man to take the word U N I A A intp consideration and what it means. We all join the association, not for criticism, but for improvement He was then followed by a song by the choir, "O Bells, Peal Forth." The chairman then rose from his seat and thanked the audience for their presence and good behavior and the services came to a close by the singing of the National Anthem BLANCHE M THOMAS Central Miranda. Oriente. Cuba. T H Wright, who had the honor to introduce the Potentate. Upon rising to speak he was greeted with applause that shook the mammoth hall. His Highness modestly acknowledged samo with a bow, and proceeded to address the large audience. He said that God had a purpose in permitting the Negro to come to this Western world. Just as He had when He permitted Joseph to be sold as a slave in Egypt, and we should consider it our duty to educate the Africans in the arts of Western civilization. He also told of the wonderful work the other divisions are doing, and urged the race to assist in building up the community. The members and friends were then given the privilege of shaking the Potentate's hand. This opportunity was taken advantage of by all present. The meeting then adjourned and dinner was given in honor of the Potentate. After the dinner was over the Potentate was taken for an automobile ride through the city, where he visited Dr. Wright's sanitarium. He was profoundly impressed with the work Dr. Wright is doing for the benefit of the race in Newark. He visited several patients, and so great was his impression that he said that he would come there should he be ill while in the United States. The doctor told him that he has one of the best surgeons in the country employed, and that of the 164 operations performed they had not lost one. He left there for Montclair, N J. Thus ends the visit of His Highness to the largest Division in the State of New Jersey. On Sunday evening the secretary read the incorporation papers of the Newark Division. It will be remembered that the division was the one that had the U. N. I. A. registered in the State; now it is incorporated so that it will 'be recognized in the courts. JOHN O'LOUGHLIN. $ Sixth avenue, Newark, N. J. success. The one end is the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the other end a spiritual congregation. Therefore forming both ends together, we now form a Universal Negro Improvement Association and a spiritual congregational circle, and within that circle we have all members of our race, even unto our little Negro, Eason. This is our movement, which is moving all our little Negroes towards Africa, and are going to place them on the soil of Africa, under our African government, under our spiritual doctrine and under our Red, Black and Green. Therefore as I have left my home and met an enemy who said unto me, "Why are you a follower of Marcus Garvey, wherein he has a silver tongue?" For I said unto him, "Why are you not a follower as it?" It is for that reason I will go, and as I came here I found him not with a silver tongue, but with a spiritual gold one. Therefore I want to say unto the enemies that you believe in God, the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost, but I believe in the more the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost and a man like myself. So as the Father a man, the Son a man; so as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost a man; so as a man is a man in the name of God, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and unto those who do not understand, why not believe? For it is those that believe the same shall be saved, and as you can see of Thee, America is for the American Indian. For that reason I will go that you may see of we that "Africa shall be free." So said the spirit. NOTICE All members of the Universal Negro Improvement and especially those of the Los Amates Division in Guatemala please take notice that Mr C. A. Drummond is being expelled from the association, and this division shall not be responsible for any business transacted with him in future. (Signed) WILFRED M. BROWN, President THE BANES, CUBA, DIVISION ON THE HIGH- WAY TO SUCCESS October 22. 1922. The Banes Division is still on its way to success. Borry to say, we have had to perform some duties that were painful to us, but we believe it is for our good we have used the broom which the President-General used when he returned from Jamaica last year. All our leading officers have to relinquish their offices, some for disloyalty, others for misappropriating the funds of the division. We have to do our best to retain those who are faithful and loyal. I am very glad to say we have elected a new cabinet whose administration is working very well. Our former President, Mr A G. Burrell, who was on leave, tendered his resignation, as he has been unable to return to Cuba on account of conditions now existing. On that account we were bound to elect one of our worthy members and former Chaplain, in the person of Mr R C F Blake, a man of sterling worth and unblemished character. We feel sure that Mr Blake stands as Marcus Garvey in our division. He is fearless of criticism and a man of no mean order. We trust that having a man like him, our goal will soon be reached. Next comes another worthy character, Mr Joseph Blake, as our First Vice-President, a man who we know is conscientious and will make a noble leader of his race. We need say nothing of the other two Vice-Presidents, as they are men of ability and standing in the community, and beloved of all. Again we have many other officers who have proved themselves men of sterling worth and good character, such as Mr Charles Lewis, our former Chairman of Trustees, now Treasurer, Mr G Douglas, Executive Secretary, and many other faithful ones. The Ladies Division has also elected and installed in office the following Mrs. Mary Campbell, Lady President Associated with her are Mrs E Rhoades, Mrs. A Jones and Miss Brown, all of whom are well informed in the work and are earnest workers. We also have in the ladies department Mrs Engleton, daughter of our present Chaplain Mr C M Clarke. I am also very pleased to report that Sunday, October 22 was a day of much blessing to us as a division. At our office service the son of our esteemed President, Mr Blake, was dedicated and received under the color of the Red. Black and Green by our newly-elected Chaplain, Mr C M Clarke, and at the mass meeting night all the above mentioned officers were installed. After the preliminaries the Chaplain in a few well-chosen remarks, introduced the chairman in the person of our First Vice-President, who in a very stylish and forceful manner cogitized the President. In the course of his oration he said that without real love and unity we cannot achieve success, and asked for three hearty cheers for the President. This was well done He further expressed himself by saying that we have had Presidents in the past, but that the present one seems to excel all for his manly way of doing the business of the Association, and he encouraged our leader to lead on and on until our motherland is redeemed. Other races have their leaders, and we must have a leader in the Negro race. At this stage the President arose amid tremendous applause and installed the other officers and received one member who was present and told them that they must stand fast and fair, for there is a goal and it must be reached, and it is only through perseverance and sticktottiveness that we can achieve success. The hymn, "Fight the Good Fight," was sung by all, after which a recitation was given by Miss A. Rhoades, which was followed by a collection, taken while the Liberty Hall Choir sang the anthem, "God Reigneth." After this Mr. R. G. Murray addressed the meeting, taking as his subject "The True Leadership," referring to Moses and Paul as true leaders and trusting that our Godgiven leader, Marcus Garvey, will prove to the world to be such a leader, so that he and other leaders of our race will go down on the pages of the world's history. I am very sorry also to chronicle the death of Jeremiah Clarke, son of Mr Aaron Clarke, both of whom are members of the Division. The youngster was ill a few weeks before passing to the Great Beyond. He was about 16 years old and a member of the Boy Scouts. The funeral took place on Monday evening. A large congregation, headed by the Chaplain, the Liberty Hall Band and all the auxiliaries, marched from Liberty Hall to the home of the deceased, and from thence to the cemetery, where he was laid to rest under the colors of the Red, Black and Green. You will be done. Through all the changing seasons the faithful few fought bravely to guard the nation's life. You're for racial uplift. R. G. MURRAY. Secretary, H. A. B. Bance, Grita, Cuba.

The president of the division, Hon. Robert A. Barrett, called the meeting to order with the ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," followed by the constitutional prayer by our chaplain, the honorable Thomas G. Murphy. The president made his remarks and then introduced the chairman of the evening, the honorable vice-president of the division, Mr Sydney F. Hugh Miller In taking over the chair, he said I am, indeed, glad for the honor you have conferred on me in making me the chairman for tonight. He turned to the audience: Ladies and Gentlemen— The progress of any meeting depends on the person who occupies the chair, and since we are living in such an age where every nation is looking for its rights, so I am today doing a part for the 400,000,000 Negroes.

With the few encouraging officers ‘and membera who are trying to hold against the ebb of the times, we put before the public for the Mrst time in Antilla, at our Liberty Hall on Octo- ber 16. a harvest festival. The or- ganizors of the function were Miss C Lemonious and others, and with a few more helping hands the situation was carefully handled and brought to a succes. Much frult and provisions were bro -ht into the hall on the pre- vious day for the harvest, such as oranges, apples, grapes, water cocoa- nuts, yams, plaintains and many more things of vital tmportance, The service for the harvest started at 4p. m. on Lunday. the 16th, with Mr Wm.

He was a good enough Morgan in critical times before tariff, ship subsidies and other big questions became so important to the life of the party of Lincoln and Grant and Roosevelt and the dollar a more vital factor than the Man. Now, the Negro is merely an incident, a political bump on a log—sans influence, sans power, sans standing among the various group elements which now constitute the great Republican Party. He was originally the ladder on which it climbed to the dizzy heights to which it has since attained The Hon. W. G. Harding kicked down the ladder at Birmingham, Ala., and made us political outcasts. Maybe in 1923 or 1924 somebody who used to know us well in the old days will be locking for "we." From the conversation I bear in various odd spots of Harlem the wet plank in the Democratic platform will have the same value to Al Smith as four spots in a skillful game of poker. The promise of light wines and beer which these few remarks hold out to the voter has an alluring sound. and the dry legionaires without respect of race, party or color "will endeavor or try" to make the vote for Alfred unanimous. The issue with them is not one of politics, but of a long continued and enforced thirst, producing an aridity which has almost made the process of deglutition impossible even with the use of plain water. If Mr. Smith wins (and you'd better watch him), he will be ennobized by the wets the country over as their savior. There is much in the wet plank to give the Republicans pause. All other issue important enough in themselves are subordinate to the voter who wants light wine and beer. This has been a long-felt want, and thirsty thousands who want what they want when they want it are not going to let the opportunity pass to put themselves squarely on record with the Democratic Party in favor of modifying an odious law which has cut off the poor man's beer and the householders light wine—both of them good and harmless juices. Thus the popularity of Al Smith is easily explained. He looks like a comer. I may be mistaken, but I doubt it. "Black 8am" Fraunces' Tavern, in Thames street, in the lower part of New York City, was built in 1710 by Etienne DeLancey for his own residence. It became the property of his grandson, Oliver DeLancey, and about 1767 was used for business purposes and occupied by the firm of DeLancey Robinson & Co. In 1672 it was purchased by Samuel Fraunces, a West Indian Negro of mixed blood, and called "Black Sam," who established an inn called the "Queen's Head. The New York Chamber of Commerce was organized there in 1768. It was a meeting place for the Sons of Liberty prior to the Revolution, and as such became the target for the British ship Asia in 1775 after the seizure by a party of King's College students, led by Alexander Hamilton, a West Indian man of color from the island of Nevis, who took a quant of guns and ammunition from the port at Bowling Green. Samuel Fraunces allied himself with the patotic cause, enlisting in Col. Malcolm's regiment. When the British entered New York he abandoned the tavern, returning only in time to prepare a banquet given by Governor George Clinton to General Washington, his officers and grominent citizens upon the triumphal entry of the Americans on November 25, 1783. It was here also that Washington bade farewell to his officers. One hundred years later the society of the Sons of the Revolution was reorganized in the famous long room of the tavern.

MONEY BACK IF NOT BATISFIED All good druggists sell ZURA preparations or mail money order to is going to be close enough for each of them to feel that there was "something doing" during the voting. The wet plank in the Democratic platform, on which Mr. Smith stands flatfootedly, will assuredly bring to his standard all that element (and they are legion) who believe that the people ought to have light wines and beer. If Mr. Smith wins on this issue the thin edge of the wedge will have been placed under the Volstead law in this State and the United Order of Amalgamated Hootchetarians will have by their votes registered a protest which will inspire those in other communities to go and do likewise in future campaigns and thus make possible a nation-wide demand by the electorate for light wines and beer. I fancy that many Republican wets will vote for A Smith on this issue because it is vital to them, and its success will give hope of larger benefits to come and which they will work zealously to obtain. I think the Volstead act is a piece of puritanic legislation which can never be fully enforced while it occupies a place on the statute books. It has done more harm than good, made as many, if not more, criminals of one sort and another than were made under the old order, and has cost the taxpayers more money to enforce its provisions than it cost the government to run the Internal Revenue Department before the law was enacted. The taxpayer does not derive any benefit from its enforcement. He is merely permitted to help foot the bills to carry out its provisions and read about the destruction of thousands of dollars' worth of perfectly good and drinkable liquor There are apparently as many drunk-ards as ever, and more tragic deaths from imbibing home brew than were known before the Volstead act became a law; more illicit manufacturers of liquid poison, which cost the victims a higher rate than was paid for the old brands of gin, whiskey and brandy which are now made over night and warranted to kill in from 24 to 48 hours, according to the amount taken into the system. The Volstead act has made possible the manufacture of this vile stuff and is responsible for the tragedies which are daily reported in the press occurring in all parts of the country. This piece of legislation, intended to regulate the manufacture, sale and use of alcoholic liquors, can only be enforced in spots, and at great cost to the government. The more vigorously it is enforced, the more antagonistic will the people become to it who believe that it is an invasion upon their personal rights and liberties which cannot or ought not to be infringed upon by puritanic legislation of which the Volstead act is a fair sample. The attempts to carry out its provisions can do no other than to create in the minds of the people the strongest apposition and the determination to get rid of it at some time in the future. The way to make a bad law odious is to enforce it. The Volstead law is becoming more odious day by day and is making liars and hypocrites, sneaks and snakes and crim- Beautiful, Soft, Silky Hair Overnight Rura KINK-OUT mals of a good many people who would like to be good citizens, but cannot because they must have their boots or a substitute for it. And this they will get despite the Volstead act and the government boose hounds. The Democratio wet plank is sure to bring out the reserves and they may help to land Al Smith in the Governor's chair because there are so many thirsty ones among them who resent the attempt of government to regulate their appetites and trench upon their personal liberties. Let the good work of enforcement go on and the people will ultimately become real angry and sweep this law out of the constitution to the scrap heap among other fool laws which have excited their derision and forced them to work for their repeal by unity of action and resistance to their enforcement. A horse may be led to the water trough, but he cannot be forced to drink. HOWARD ELEVEN SWAMPS NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE SCORE OF 40—0 WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 25.—The Howard University football eleven in its second game of the season, played Saturday afternoon, October 21, 1922. o the university campus, swamped the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical Colege team, of Greenboro, N C. by a score of 40 to 0. The "Blue and White" eleven outclassed the visitors in every department of the game and won about as it pleased. The game began with Howard kicking off to the Carolinians. After about three minutes of play, Contea, left halfback for Howard, recovered a fumble made by the Carolinians with the ball on their 25-yard line and sprinted away for a touchdown. The attempted drop kick by Donehy failed. Howard kicked off again and downed the A. and T man on the run-back a. about the same distance from the North Carolinians' goal line as the position of the ball when the costly fumble was made. Following a couple of plays A. and T kicked out, but the ball \was brought up some distance by Howard and after a series of line plunges was worked across the North Carolinians' goal line, being carried across by Donehy. Howard's right halfback. This time Donehy's drop kick registered for the additional point. Howard kicked off to A. and T. for the third time in the first quarter, the ball going all the way down the field across the North Carolinians' goal line. The Howard boys followed up the ball so speedily that before an A. and T man could recover it Doneghy fell upon the ball for another touchdown. Doneghy tried another drop kick for the extra point but failed. Beginning with the second quarter the North Carolina boys started out in what seemed would be fruitful style. By the use of a trick delayed pass which caused the player taking the ball to use the opposite direction from Strong Faith in PE-RU-NA Mrs. Albert Hust, 190 Prospect Ble, South Manchester, Conn., con- vinced that it saved her life, writes: "I had catarrh of the stomach, beryl and water, and when I went to work I have taken Pe-ru-na and Man-Ble and to say thank God for a good stomach and appetite. My faith is strong that Pe-ru-na is a life saver. I advise my friends daily to use Pe-ru-na and many have been helped." Pe-ru-na is backed by the verdict of two genera- tions, more than fifty years of success. SOLD EVERYWHERE TABLETS or LIQUID his interference they succeeded in making a couple of good gains. After making use of the play twice, however, the Blue and White eleven caught on to t and successfully broke it up. Tos - the end of the quarter the North Carolina boys by means of a number of penalties get far down into Howard's territory. After being held for three downs a placement kick was tried, which was blocked and recovered by "Bull Dog" Williams, Howard's famous left end and captain of the team, who in his old style galloped down the field for some 70 yards to A. and T.'s goal for a touchdown. Doneghy by drop kick secured the additional point. With about six minutes to play, after having received the kick-off from the Carolinians and bringing the ball back up the field by a number of line drives to the visitors' 35-yard line, Coach Morrison sent in his second team. The North Carolina boys again attempted their delayed pass play, which, as in the case of its use against the first team, momentarily unplussed Howard's second team. But after permitting the A. and T. boys to gain two first downs by this play, the second team boys caught on and broke it up. When the referee's white's blew announcing the end of the first half the ball was in Howard's possession. The third quarter was uneventful, being spent mainly in punting from one team to the other. The fourth quarter netted Howard two touchdowns, one being secured by Melton, left halfback, who also assisted in getting the additional point by receiving the well directed forward pass from Carter, Howard's star quarterback. The other touchdown was secured by Cornish, left tackle, who intercepted a forward pass tried by the Carolinians and paced away for their goal. The additional point in this case was made by Carter, quarterback, by the use of a drop kick. Much surprise was expressed by the large crowd of spectators that the Howard eleven showed such amazing activity in the game after having ap- peared so slow in its first game, having won its first game by a score of only 6 to 4. The showing of the team, however, was gratifying to its coaches and followers. After the mediocre opening game the "Blue and White" came to life and played with plenty of dash and precision.

T BROWN Men who are inclined to be fair and impartial in their judgment of other men and things as they are transpiring in this world of ours and who have had the vision correctly to interpret the signs of the times cannot fail to observe that the race of Negroes of which I am pleased and proud to form a part, is awakening at a rate that is alarming to those who in years gone by held the whip hand in the affairs of the Negro peoples of the world, and that the Negro as a race is asserting his will to win" in a way that leaves no room for uncertainty or doubt. Three hundred years of serfdom and segregation and injustice and ill-treatment have been an apprenticeship which has given to the Negro that fibre which can laugh at defeat calmly bear the scaffold of his brethren, calmly if anxiously prepare for his emancipation—nay, more, which has taught him how to suffer and be strong and unafraid When in the days to come: a history of the twentieth century comes to be written the muse will have some strange and startling things to record, and not the least among the things which will then be recorded will be the story of how the Negro asserted his right to a place under the sun and a demonstration of the will to win. The race has realized fully the truth of the saying that he who would succeed must be willing to pay the price and has been quietly preparing for the grapple with fate the white stealing its heart for the greatest of encounters with all the powers of hate malice, envy and fear. Notwithstanding the fact that his detractors have painted him as a no-good and one who is not capable of carving out his own destiny without the direction of the Anglo-Saxon, the Nearly Killed DR.

Notwithstanding, also, that they have been trumpeting to all creation that the Negro is of an "inferior race" and that he has not the capacity for self-government the Negro is soculously carving out his own deathy winning the laurels in many feuds of human endeavor and is now loudly proclaiming to all mankind his realization of the fact that he, too, is created in the image and likeness of God, and, that being so, you can hear him saying with Huxley. Out of the night which covers me Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank the God who gave it me. Knew my unconquerable soul. For the soul of the Negro is unconquerable and not all the powers of earth or hell combined will keep him from his goal. We Negroes realize that it is going to be a stiff and gelling fight to reach the heights to which we set our faces We realize that we are going to be dark and trying always ahead of us We can expect no awkward in teaching the goal of our ambitions, and that forces will be arrayed against us greater than has been the case against any other race of men since the world began But we are not going to be deterred by any show of force or any attacks of any kind from any quarter We know what we want, we know that our cause is just and that the things we have set out to attain belong to us as well as to any other of the sons of men Therefore let the lions roar let all the terrors of earth and hell be loosed, we are going to our goal We have willed to take our affairs into our own hands as a race, to carve our imprint high on the annals of time, to set a new standard of civilization for this world, to teach mankind the true understanding of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and we care not how great the sacrifice or how stubborn the resistance to our cause. 'God knows we are ready.' Right at this moment men of faith and vision can look out on the race of Negroes and see that the Negro is calm in his determination to win for himself and his children children the right to govern themselves and to live their lives in God's own appointed way. The race is charged with a cosmic consciousness that lights the way, and gives a clear and unmistakable vision of the course which lies before us calming our fears and setting all our doubts at rest. Never before has the race been so united in thought as at the present time, and the day is fast approaching when the Negro, much maligned as he has been, and branded as an inferior among men, will step out under God's heaven, free, untrammeled and unfettered in every conceivable way, and will yet teach mankind how to live. The path of glory lies before us our souls are attuned to the vibrations surging through the universe, filling our hearts with courage and inspiration with daring and with hope nerving us for the tasks which lie ahead and calling us loudly to the heights, which we shall climb. The consciousness that we have God's own promise for the success of this undertaking and that the race is ready raises our courage, and makes us invincible and there is every reason to believe that this race of our will bless mankind with such a race of awarms, mighty, not only in physical prowess, but in soul and spirit in courage, in daring and accomplishment, great in every avenue of human achievement, and rich in love.

A rapture fills his great heart, and his eyes flash hope, courage marks his mien, his voice speaks expectancy his mind glows with a new awakening, and he steps forth before God and all mankind a new creature, reflecting the strength and goodness and power of his God he has willed to win over environment and master fate, and the hour has struck when he must express himself And now my brother, standing this day under the shadow of heaven, while the eyes of all creation are centered upon us let us gird our loans and quit ourselves like men.

R. T BROWN. Squirrel, Costa Rica, C A. WELLS SAYS LEAGUE IS ONLY MAKESHIFT By ROBERT J. PREW LONDON. Nov 3 — Unified world control of world affairs is the foremost plea advanced by H. G. Wells in an election address which will be published tomorrow. Wells is labor candidate for Parliament from London University. He says "It is plain common sense that world control in international affairs must represent all the main powers of the world. The present League of Nations has neither prestige nor authority to handle the greater international issues of today "We have to do what we can with and for the League of Nations, and particularly we have to sustain its world labor organization, but we must never forget how provisional and experimental a body it is and the urgent need in which it stands for drastic reconstruction that will give Germany Russia. Turkey and other excluded powers a sense of equal and honorable co-operation." MARY AUSTIN TO SPEAK AT 135TH ST.

Sin duda, una vez aprobada por Cuba la operación financiera, los banqueros norteamericanos que han realizado préstamos a la nacion antillana, no tendran dificultad en terminar rápidamente los arreglos precisos para dar término a la operación por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra L08 Que Critican la Dirección y Propósito de Nuestra Organización Nada Práctico Han Realizado en Beneficio de la Raza—En Vez de Ayudar a Construir Se Deleitan en Destruir—Se Precian de Directores Intelectuales, Pero Tienen un Concepto Erróneo de lo Que Dirección Significa Cabe, pues, espera que en plazo breve, haya entrado la reconstrucción de Cuba en una fase decisiva y final. A ello tienden las reformas administrativas adoptadas por el gobierno del doctor Zayas con resulción loable. Ha sido podado el presupuesto nacional en forma improbable, reduzendo el total de los gastos a cerca de la cuarta parte del presupuesto anterior. Servicios gubernativos que parecian presa de la gangrena y de la desmoralización han sido o eliminados totalmente de la administración o reorganizados radicalmente y sin contemplaciones. Se esta iniciado una depuración de cargos antiguos y modernos contra empleados culpables y la trama entera de la organización administrativa ha sido recorrida con mano firme y celo cuidadoso. Desde su iniciación, cinco años hs, nuestra organización, cuyo propósito hemos expuesto de antemano a la sanción pública, ha sido victima de la política malsana de elementos de nuestra propia raza, quienes se precian de grandes intelectuales, pero persisten en atacar todo verdadero esfuerzo hecho por individuos de la raza, en beneficio general de esta. En todas las épocas y en todas las edades ha tenido lugar la práctica de esta política malsana. Aun refresca nuestra mente el recuerdo del sinnúmero de sinsabores que, por medio de la crítica mal fundada de esta plaga de parásitos, ocacionaron al ilustre Booker T. Washington, paladín de la Universidad de Tuskegee, en el estado de Alabama, colegio fundado a costa de sus grandes esfuerzos y sacrificios, para dar a la nueva generación de nuestra raza una educación basada en un principio fundamental. Apesar de todo lo que se dijo e hizo en contra del gran maestro, Booker T Washington se irguio como una magestuosa pirámide en un valle de rocas. La prueba que ha pasado el pasa ha sido excepcionalmente rigurosa De golpe y en forma agoziadora, abatieronse sobre la isla feliz y propera todas las calamidades del reajustamiento de la post guerra. A hacer mas duro el conflicto contribuyo la desorganización oficial reintegrado Repentinamente comprendiose que habia en Cuba una enorme cantidad de parasitos gubernativos, que la fronda administrativa requería una implacable poda. Pero la labor de realizar las reformas necesarias se retardo y aplazo, por compromisos y contemplaciones Ello provoca la dolorosa y penosa intervención extránea en forma disfrazada pero efectiva Y se temió que la independencia hubiera llegado a su termino, al cabo de tantas luchas sangrientas, de tantos sacrificios heroceros y tanta antais libertaria como demostro en toda su historia el pueblo cubano. Por un milagro de habilidad y tacto por parte de todos, la mission Crowder parece, al fin, terminada felizmente Cuba ha salvado una de las crisis mas peligrosas de su carrera. Esta claramente demostrado que a estos críticos de profesión solamente les interesa la cantidad de monedas que puedan colectar de las masas para liquidar sus propios sueldos. Les vemos siempre dispuestos a comunicar al mundo sobre el fracaso de los que se esfuerzan por realizar algo práctico, pero se abstienen de comunicar a su vecino sobre sus propios fracasos. El universo entero sabe que la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y sus corporaciones aliadas es una instrucción que tiene por base el enalrecimiento económico, político e industrial de nuestra raza, exclusivamente patrocinado por nuestro pueblo. Las asociaciones creadas por estos intelectuales, patrocinadas por elementos de otras razas, para atacar los principios fundamentales de nuestra organización, no han expuesto aun a la sanción pública, la eficiencia de un programa que revele sus propósitos Ahora todo depende en un último ensayo, bajo la mirada no poco predispuesta de Washington y frente a la poco oculta ansia de los grandes interesados en una intervención, de la sabiduria, del patriotismo y de la rectitud con que los cubanos apliquen los recursos que se les entreguen y no a título gracioso, en verdad a la labor de la reorganization y rehabilitación del país en todos sus aspectos Toda vez que estos intelectuales poseen toda la sabiduria del mundo, porqué no cooperar con el Hon. Marcus Garvey, nuestra organización y sus corporaciones aliadas, cuyo esfuerzo no es simplemente la ayuda de individuos para individuos, sino realizar la raza de la actual condición poco favorable a una era de prosperidad? Si estos genios poseen la ability de ejecutar concientemente, porqué no dar a su propia raza el beneficio de tales virtudes? Pocas etapas gubernativas estarán mas criadas de dificultades y peligros que la del Dr Zayas. Va a entrar en un periodo de prueba, en el que su administración tendra que pesar cada paso y medir cada decisión como algo critico y decisivo que se hace con el porvien de la patria. Esperemos que el patríotismo no faile al gobierno de Cuba en esta hora, ya que la inteligencia, la inventiva y la energía no son dotes que hayan jamás faltado en aquella hermosa tierra digna de la mejor suerte, del más amplio porvien —La Prema, N Y. Cuando los tal llamados directores e intelectuales de la raza aprendan a cooperar y a ayudarse mutuamente con el objeto de mejorar las condiciones de las masas, entonces y solamente entonces podrán ellos interpretar lo que dirección significa. Dirección no significa oposición, crítica destructiva, malicia, envidia, intrigas; dirección implica cooperación con todos y cada uno de aquellos que se interesan en el bien común. Estos señores críticos debieran aprender algo mas acerca del significado de dirección, en vez de hablar de su inmaculada perfección y de los defectos de los demás. Reorganización de los Bancos en Las Islas Filipinas La-táctica de liquidación de prestamos adoptada por el director del banco nacional de las Filipinas, E W Wilson creese que ha causado favorable impresión a las autoridades de los Estados Unidos Nada eficiente, ningun resultado práctico hemos visto que hayan obtenido los que han criticado y aun critican nuestras actividades en beneficio de los intereses generales de la raza. Tal actitud tiende a detenernos en la marcha de avance que hemos emprendido en el camino del progreso, delineado por nuestra organización. Una y otra vez hemos ofrecido a nuestros opositores la oportunidad de adherirse a este magno movimiento, para que demuestren sus abilities como directores, sin haber obtenido aun la cortesía de una respuesta adecuada. Dicho procedimiento básase en los siguientes principios fundamen tales: no apresurarse. consolidar las empresas fundadas en bases solidas en lugar de lanzarse a empresas temerarias, renovación de prestamos si se han satisfecho debidamente los intereses, lograr el mayor número posible de pagos y apoyándose en lo antedicho, concertar las operaciones de acuerdo con el tiempo, las cosechas y el volumen de las exportaciones. El referido banco hase atemido a esos principios desde el mes de Enero de 1921. Los $20,000,000 prestados a los cosecheros de auxer y a otras empresas comerciales seran pagados en su totalidad a pesar de que se cree que pasarán algunos afios antes de que se termine la liquidación. Siguen en importancia a esos prestamos, presentando también buen aspecto, los hechos a los productores de acede de coco por un total de quince millones. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra esta determinada a que los enemigos del progreso del Negro no hayan de destruir la gloria de nuestra esperanzas. Hemos de fortalecernos para contrarestar la oposición que nos afronta, en nuestra lucha por la emancipación de una raza. Estamos determinados no solamente a que se nos respeto como hombres, sino a tomar parte activa en los asuntos relacionados con nuestros propios intereses. En ambos casos han dado excelentes resultados la buena organización, la reducción de gastos y otras medidas económicas que han permitido llevar adelante esas empresas por lo que se cree ahora que al presentar el mencionado director de aquel banco su nuevo informe el 1 de Enero próximo se ponga de manifesto que las pérdidas sufridas no son tan importantes como las que se Evolucionamos en un medio ambiente de inconveniencias y en condiciones inferiores a nuestro modo de sentir y pensar. Los pueblos oprimidos se aprovechan de los grandes cambios políticos que se operan actualmente. Tiempo es ya de que nuestra raza tome una medida decisiva en el curso de estos acontecimientos, despertando del letargo de tantos años. manifiestan en el presentado a la misión Wood-Forbes. El gobernador general Wood ha reorganizado la administración del Banco habiendo puesto a su frente a personas competentes y practicas. Otros bancos de las lasis como el de las Ilas Filipinas han sido también reorganizados. Este tiene actualmente reservas que sobrepujan la suma marcada por la ley. Los Barcos Como Territorio La decisión del juez Hand, supplementaria a la de hace una semana, de que los buques de los Estados Unidos, donde quiera que se hallen, son territorio americano, y estan por consiguiente sujetos a la decimoctava enmenda y a la ley Volstead, y bajo la prohibición de conductir licores, era de esperar e inevitable. Aparte del lumenoso razonamiento del juez Hand y de su examen de los precedentes, el profano, humedo o seco, solo tiene que seguir el sentido comun ordinario para convenir con el en que "seria una cosa curiosa el que un pais, que declarara bajo sus leyes fundamentales prohibir el uso de intoxicantes, hubiera de dejarlos sin reparo en los buques que navegan bajo su bandera." Para el profano, en espera de la decision de la suprema corte en estos fallos sobre el problema de los liceores en los barcos, un parrafo en el decreto del juez Hand puede ofrecer un poco de reflexión y duda. "Un buque de matricula de los Estados Unidos que se halle en el mar o en un puerto extranjero se halla dentro del alcance de la enmienda y de la clausula 3." Esto es, si ponemos dos opiniones juntas, resulta que un buque americano en alta mar o en aguas territoriales es, en cierto sentido, territorio americano y está dentro del alcance de la octava enmienda y la ley Volstead Esto parece una gran extension de la hasta aqui limitada aplicacion de la ley municipal a los buques extranjeros en nuestros puertos y aguas jurisdiccionales Variedades Sobre el Aislamiento La reciente protesta contra el departamento de estado en relación con los asuntos del cercano oriente recuerda la comunicación del presidente Monroe al congreso hace años. En 1822 los sufrimientos de la población cristiana de Grecia inspiraron un parrafo elocuente en el mensaje presidencial que precedio solo en unos cuantos meses a su gran documento sentando los principios de la Doctrina Monroe. El prudente secretario de estado, John Quincy Adams, era inquietado por indignados llamamientos urgiéndole a alguna forma de intervención en favor de "nuestros hermanos en creencias". Uno de los apelantes que tenia tendencias a las metáforas declaró que 300 tiradores de Kentucky se hallaban listos "para coger sus largos fusiles y saltar como ardillas" en protección de las mujeres y nífos oprimidos de Morea. Fué solo la determinación de Adams de seguir los principios de Washington y Hamilton los que impidieron la inclusión, un año más tarde, de alguna referencia activa a los griegos, en el gran manifesto sobre la política de los Estados Unidos. Tal política, declarar, implicaba en cambio una rigida abstención de los asuntos puramente de interés europeo. El paralelo histórico pudiera haber sido seguido hasta incluir la politica británica lo mismo que la de los Estados Unidos. Bonar Law recientemente empleo la frase de Canning pronunciada un siglo antes delante de las potencias de la Santa Alianza Inglaterra debe reassumir su aslamiento. Trazar una linea de separación entre una política de razonable alejamiento y una de "prejuicio insular" ha sido una dificil tarea para generaciones sucesivas de estadistas. Canning fué acusado de insularismo por Metternich y todos los estadistas reacionarios de las potencias que formaban la "Liga de Paz" del zar Alejandro. Obstante, el desenvolvimiento de la situación demostró que el era el más sincero de los idealistas. El resultado de la "sublime idea" del zar fué una ciega devoción al principio de la solidaridad europea al termino por sostener los derechos legitimos del sultan a exterminar como "rebeldes" a las poblaciones cristianas del imperio. Tal paradojo no ha sido repetida hasta que los políticos franceses "trataron de adquirir prestigio en los países islámicas a expensas de su descrédito en los Estados Unidos". con su apoyo de un imperialismo turco milagrosamente resucitado. Las República Centroamericana Aceptan la Invitación del Presidente Harding Diose la noticia en el departamento de estado, de que las cinco repúblicas centroamericanas han asegurado oficiosamente al gobierno, que aceptarán la invitación del presidente Harding y asistirán a una conferencia interamericana que tendrá lugar en Washington. Las repúblicas en cuestión son Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador y Nicaragua. ECOS DE LA REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA Por Luis Carlos Pizarro Palmira, Depto. del Valle, Colombia. Honorable Seflor don Marcus Garvey, Presidente de la Asociación Universal Para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, Nueva York. Señor: Sea ante todo mi acción gratulartoia a Vuestra Señoria por la pronta y eficaz atención que os servisteis diapensar a mi carta, según consta en la que obra en mi poder, signada por Vuestro Secretario Especial con fecha 1º. del presente. Con tan obligante autorización, no en vano objeto de mi anticipada confianza, procedo a redactar la EXPOSICIÓN ofrecida. No exijáis de ni una pieza brillante, porque he hallo huérfano de las dotes, que tal resultado pueden dar, en cambio, creed no serie defraudado en cuanto a mi devoción por Vuestra Causa, como que cuanto diga exterioriza la abundancia de mi interior espiritual. *Quien pide a Vuestra Seiforia?* La parte de la EXPOSICION que continua, por ser personal, me mortifica en extremo; pero ella es un imperativo categórico para mi, aun así detallada, proque si es innegable que Vuestra Seiforia no me la reclama, no lo es menos que con toda justicia os la debo por la fina deferencia que habe usado para comigo y por merecer mi mayor acatamiento esa CONGREGACION UNIVERSAL de móviles unicos en el decurso de la Historia. No la mireis con desvio, pues si carece de interés efectivo, ella dice relacion a quienes llevaron en sus venas sangre hermana. Habla a Vuestra Señoría un nieto del señor doctor don Tomás Pizarro, nacido en Chiriqui, antiguo Estado Soberano de Panamá, hombre que ocupo en años ya idos, cuando inclitas espadas se disputaban el predomino de ideas políticas, el cargo de Jefe de Estado Mayor General de los Ejercitos; el Estado del Tolima supo de la pericia civil de mi abuelo, como que fue su gobernante; el Foro y la Magistratura Judicial, otro tanto; y la Cámara Baja lo contó sus miembros prominentes. Exhibiase como caballero de exquisita pulcritud, y por ser rigurosamente negro y vestir habitualmente de blanco, dabanle el sobrenombre de papel sellado. Llamose el doctor Alejandro Pizarro, mi tio, quien ejercó la Judicatura desde muy temprana edad y en edad temprana ungreso a la Camara de Representantes, Corporación que presidió tinosamente; fue perito en Procedimientos Judiciales, catedra que dictó en la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Políticas de la Universidad Nacional y en la Facultad de Junspruendencia del gloriozo y celebre Colegio Mayor de Nuestra Senora del Rosario, subió a Consejero de Estado, y tiempo después se le invistó del rango de Cónsul General de Colombia en Hamburgo, cargo que no alcanzo a servir por enfermedad mental proveniente de un violento gopa a la cabeza. El estado de la Prensa le brindo laureles, y dominó con maestria la polémica, en la que venció ruidosamente a escritores de alto coturno y recia engurdura. Mi padre, el señor General de División don Lísimaco Pizarro, fallecido el 2 de diciembre de 1917, dio ejemplos dignos de initarse y ascendido desde simple soldado a la más elevada caterogia que el escalafón desconoce. Primer Ayudante General del Ejército del Norte, Jefe de Estado Mayor de División, Jefe Civil y Militar de la Provincia de Ocafía, Prefecto de las Provincias de Santander y de Palmira, Comandante General de Division, Auditor General de Guerra. La indole de su carrera lo llevó a conocer las guarmiciones de Colombia y a ocupar lugar social relevante en casi todas las capitales de los Departamentos. En la hora actual me asiste la protección de mu santa madre, mujer de virilidad extraordinaria, a cuyo esfuerzo debemos sus hijos la educación, bien muy más preciado que los tesoros materiales, educación que mi padre no pudo atender cumplidamente en persona por razón de las constantes vicisitudes de nuestra tormentosa existencia política. De mis hermanos varones, el mayor es agricultor y permanece en esta ciudad; otro, curaa 3^ee afio de Derecho en la Universidad Nacional y ha tenido a su cuidad la Secretaria del Liceo de "Pio X" cuyo Rector es el Honorable Senador y ex-Ministro de Estado doctor dos José Jonquín Casas; en el mismo Instituto dica algunas clases del Bachillerato. El tercero murió dejando viuda y dos hijos, postuma el menor deéstos. Sacerdote es otro, Alejandro, y ejerce la Parroquia de Viotis, Arquidocesis Primada de Bozotz. Cuando se conmemoro el Centenario de la Independencia de Venruela, el sefiro Rector del Seminario Conciliar lo tuvo como candidato para representar tal Seminario en el Congreso de Estudantes de la Gran Colombia; por un desastre no llegó oportunamente la invitación y de ahí la no ida de ml hermano, a Caracas. Poco antes el malogrado General don Julio Andrade, Ministro del Estrador en Bogotá, rescado de ml padra el permiso de llevarlo como compañero a Venruela, y así lo hizo. El último, Rafael Edmundo, concluyó sus estudios militares antes de los diez y nueve años de edad y obtuvo el primer puesto y el primermo entre los nuevos oficiales sus camaradas; fue seleccionado por el Excelentísimo señor doctor Concha para su Oficial de Ordenes, en la actualidad es Teniente y sirve como Oficial de Planta de la Escuela Militar, cargo de significación al cual van los soldados más pundonorosos. Yo, tras graduarse de Bachiller en Filosofía y Letras en el Colegio Nacional de San Bartolomé, di firma mis asignaturas en la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Poliacua de la Universidad Nacional. El fallecimiento de mi padre indujo al Excelentísimo señor doctor José Vicente Concha a demostrar en mi humilde persona la misma emaltecedora amistad que a migentor dispensara, y, al afecto, condujo muy cerca de al como Oficial de la Secretaría de la Presidencia de la República. Durante la Administración Suárez pasé al Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores con el mismo destino de Oficial, en emplazado del distinguido jóvenes dom Angel María Céspedes, intelectual de finisimos quilates, nombrado primer Secretario de la Legación de Colombia ante los Gobiernos de Su Majestad Católica y de la Confederación Helvética; trabajé posteriormente en "EL NUEVO TIEMPO", decano de la Prensa capitalina, y en "LA NACIÓN"; pasados quince años de ausencia, volvi a Palmira por motivo de familia: el matrimonio de mi hermano Tomás, celebrado en 1921 Tuve en la mente mi primera carta desde que lei en un número de "El GRAFICO", de Bogotá, a mediados del año postrero, una crónica referente a vuestra pasamos labor, con todo, carente de vuestra direccion exacta, érame poco menos que imposible llenar mi hondo anhelo. Asi las cosas, escribi la misiva y al propio tiempo otra para el Jefe de la Oficina de Información y Propaganda de Colombia en esa metrópoli. Listas las dos cartas para dejarlas en el correo, pasé a la hacienda de una persona amiga el 2 de Febrero, y como yo indagara si tenia informes atañaderos al propósito por Vuestra Señoría perseguido, dijome que si, y agregue que el señor Guillermo Bayne, panadero de esta plaza, podia suministrarme datos interesantes y la precisa direccion de Vuestra Señoría. Monté indemifatmente y sali para la ciudad en busca del senor Bayne; y no encontrándolo, torné a mi finca y regresé en solicitud ayuda entrada la noche. Me vi obligado a esperarlo cuanto fue menester, y aquella noche, indeleable en busca mi, abandonaba a don Guillermo vencidas las doce. En la prolongada entrevista, supue muchas cosas vuestras, Honorable sefor, y revisé algunas ediciones del MUNDO NEGRO, organo eminente en el orbe periodístico y de acabada eficencia allí donde se plieguen unos labios para sonreir mientras aplacan la sed en las anforas des sus columnas. Hubo la oportuna coincidencia de que el señor Bayne conoció a mi padre en la Capital del Departamento del Valle, cuando de semperfaba la Jefatura del Estado Mayor de la III División. Huelga deciros cuán intima y entusiastamente hablámos sobre el magno tema! El recuento que precede no sa traduce en fruto palpable; mas mirado con simpatia, que revela una iniciación histórica dentro del influjo de vuestro prestigio. Intento conducir mi fervor al terreno de la práctica; y asl, entro en materia con la segunda parte mi EXPOSICION, cs a saber: ¿Qué os pido? Os demando rendidamente tendáis vuestro brazo hacia vuestros hermanos que demoran entre el Mar Caribe y la linea del Ecuador; y aun más allá, si es vuestra mente. Os demando con plenitud de confianza, con arraigada fé me aceptéis en el número de vuestros soldados, pero mediante vuestra promesa de que guilaréis mis pasos con vuestros consejos y galardonareís mi comportamiento y estimularéis ml devoción con solicitud de padre. Refiriendomie a mi amada Colombia, os aclararé tres puntos: Situción de los negros; medios que hay que poner en práctica para regar la semilla en los miembros de la raza y elementos que es imprescindible dominar para que la cosecha no sea pasjadera, para que la Institución se afirme incomovible en este año.

El Secretario de Cuba Enfermo en la Ciudad de Washington La enfermedad del secretario de estado de Cuba, doctor Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, el que está confinado en el lecho debido a un fuerte resfrindio, ha retardado la réplica del gobierno norteamericano a Cuba sobre la solicitud de aprobación del empréstito. El secretario Hughes desea conferciar de nuevo con el secretario Céspedes antes de dar la respesta y se espera que esto no tardará más de dos o tres días. Debido a esa enfermedad no podrá tener lugar la recepción en la legación de Cuba, que iban a dar al doctor Céspedes y esposa.

MOSES PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION OF UNITED STATES President Sims of New York Colored Baptist Convention Writes Leaders of Three Million Baptists to Meet at St. Louis, Mo., December 6-11, 1922 To the Baptists of the United States of America, Greetings; In keeping with the request of "The National Baptist Voice," the official organ of the National Baptist Convention of the U. B. A., to submit the names of candidates for president of the convention, as president of the New York Colored Baptist State Convention I wish to announce that New York Baptists will nominate or give the convention the opportunity to nominate Dr. W. H. Moses for president in the coming session at St. Louis, Mo., December 6 to 11. The Platform The platform upon which we offer Dr. Moses to the country is as follows: 1. That he will carry out the purposes of the original organizers of the convention; as set forth in its constitution in Atlanta, Ga., 1893, and as revised and amended since that time and as it may be amended. 2. That he will endeavor to unite the colored Baptist family in the one original "National Baptist Convention of the U. S. A." in keeping with the spirit, purpose and efforts of Dr. E. C. Morris and R. H. Boyd, who were the most distinguished founders, and their followers, and their followers who held a "get-together" meeting in Memphis and Nashville. Tennessee, since the division in Chicago, and in keeping with the "get-together" spirit expressed by Dr. Morris in the following letter sent to Dr. Boyds: Helena, Ark., Aug. 28, 1832. Editor J. D. Crenshaw, National Baptist Voice, Nashville, Tenn.: Dear Brother—After coming to Little Rock today I learned of the death of Dr. Royd and that the funeral will be Monday. I regret very much that it will not be possible for me to attend its memorial. I first met Dr. Boyd in 1883 and our acquaintance grew into warm friendship and remained for many years. It was due largely to his influence in 1891 that I accepted the presidency of the National Baptist Convention. At that time we were very warm personal friends. He was a man of broad vision and very profile in thought. We did not always agree, but our disagreement never broke our personal esteem for each other. He was one of the promoters of the organization of the National Baptist Convention, which grew out of the three conventions which met at Atlanta, Ga., in 1895, and was a hearty supporter of that organization until 1914. I met and talked with him on board the train going through Mississippi in 1920. At this time he was dealing very keenly the effect of the division which had taken place among the Baptists, but seemed to have been surrounded by inflows which he could not control, but Dr. Boyd had his own ideas upon these matters. To him was very largely due the co-operation between the Southern Baptist Convention and the National Baptist Convention in missionary work. In later years the Southern Baptist Convention opened a declaration of opposition to board control, but Dr. Boyd had his own ideas about these matters. His death moves from among Baptists of this country one of the most unique characters that have lived in the last half century. The sympathy of the people throughout the country goes out to his bereaved family. E. C. MORRIS. Before the echo of that splendid tribute to Dr. Roya's spirit of peace and organic union had time to ring the walkin throughout the colored Baptist family. Dr. Morris joined his company in tribulations and life-long descentimental endeavor. Dr. Moses, who was a young admirer and bosom friend of both to the day of their death, said is as: "The denomination owes an enduring debt of gratitude to Dr. Morris and Boyd which can be practically paid by furnishing their deepest dying desire for a united colored Baptist family to efficiently complete the work which they began and to that and I will dedicate the supreme efforts of my remaining days." But that he will and favor to carry out his principles of economical ownership and control of domestic international interests through doctrines of local bodies elected by, and amenable to the parent body, as was being carried out by President Morris and which was have, reason to believe all other colored Baptist groups and organizations are planning to conform a West he will protect and perfect the present plans, property and all interests of the National Baptist Convention without doing violence to the interests of the late Dr. H. Boyd and those associated with him in denominational and social. A: That he will and favor to协和 people, to consider the relationship of the church to their strength of the cause than into the million-Nigro Rapids, may not be the only way which the Christian will be working with at the public agencies and the public in the future. The first of the two groups are the two of the two members of the Christian Association, which are the most important members of the Christian Association, without doing a policy to do the method to the national Hospital in the future. world, in which all are for each and each for all. 7. That, if elected, Dr. Moses will do all in his power to reunite the National Baptist Convention without violating any principle or policy which the majority of those electing him may deem vital, with the distinct understanding that he purposes to voluntarily resign whatever "get-together" negotiations shall have been perfected to the point where each group desires to have a fair field to elect a president upon which a majority of the "get-together" representatives may agree, and that he will use his influence to have the convention so amend its Constitution that no president may succeed himself more than two or four consecutive years.

Adams entitled in "The Saturday Dilea," Chicago, IL. Reproduced in "The Negro World," New York City, November 4, 1922.) By MUBERT J. COX There was a time when education was not general, neither were schools aided by the State, printing was limited and the dissemination of knowledge (books) only within the reach of the fortunate. The Negro at this time was a slave in every sense of the word. The scene is changed; stirring events through Lincoln's undaunted courage culminated in his abolishing the physical slavery of Negroes as just in the sight of the law. That the Negro is an "alien and unassimilable material in the body politic of the nation" is nothing new; this is conceded because reason has supplanted vain hope and the Negro finds himself advancing to more creditable place in the affairs of the world. An impartial inquiry and analysis of the Negro in America will discover that the constitution, worked with an understanding of the past, the needs of the present and problems of the future, did not take into consideration the Negro as human, requiring at that time "free and equal" liberty and "the pursuit of happiness." Time moves on making sport of the artificial barriers set by man in his endeavor to keep conditions as they are to his liking or otherwise influence them in the direction he would have them go. We are familiar with the successive stages of events, environment, circumstance and change that have brought the Negro into the limelight and now face an anxious world to meet him without mental reservation, hypocrisy, cant and humbug. A futile attempt to deny the Negro the fruits of his advancement and the preachments of democracy is "the literary test." It cannot succeed. In the South, where the majority of Negro schools in terms of population and taxation is ridiculously small when compared with other groups. Why? In spite of this, understanding is intelligent and "mother's wit" daily confounds white folks. I shall now take up the gauntlet thrown at us. Professor Adams says "today that illiterate Negro may be the chief menace to our democratic government." This is tragic if not amusing in its falsehood. Where is the Negro majority, politically speaking, in any State of the Union controlling its policy? Lacking this it is stupid to ask the same question regarding the House of Representatives and Congress. Will Professor Adams please enlighten us? The quotations used refer to the particular statements of the professor. He desires "a national policy with a frank and clear declaration in our federal constitution that the United States is a white man's government." It is still not sufficiently clear that in the body politic of the nation the Negro is a rank outsider; in the several branches of the federal government a Negro works here and there more as a mascot than an asset. This open request will convince Negroes as to the mind attitude of influential white men; it will cure the light-headed ones among us of their vain hopes. I can almost concede to Professor Adams his point of this being a "white man's government"; while calling his attention to the "not that we are very much engaged in letting the white world know our attitude in this respect. It is not amiss to remind the learned professor that Negroes have an historic home, traditions, customs and usages—these were suppressed and had become almost extinct in our memory while sojourning in a foreign land. The signs of the time should influence the professor to moderate his views and change his dogmatic conclusions. "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 Northern States, where no safeguards are placed about the ballot." Peculiar contradictions and, as it were, a paradoxical situation have always kept the Negro in the forefront of internal affairs in America. I shall summarize briefly a long period of history. The Northern States found it impossible to complete with the South, that hold slave, and consequently were able to sell cotton to foreign markets lower on account of free (slave) labor; during the activities to abolish slavery the Northern States gave help to the cause, as it would then place them in a better position for competition; when, however, the Negro had full political recognition, the Northern States again maneuvered with the South and placed the Negro back into political slavery. It is to be borne in mind that the South lost its proud position when the North through industry and machinery commenced to control and handle shipping by its more favorable position to Europe. If the Negro is a "menace" in the South and the ballot is "safeguarded" in the North, where Negro votes unmolested, he is too much in the minority to seriously affect the several points at issue. Surely the error is not on the part of the Negro. Continuing he says: "It is almost impossible to make of him (the Negro) a superior workman, and it is equally difficult to advance his standards of living." Shades of Brixton ethnography in his "Names of Mankind." Take time, professor. In reply to the first part of Professor Adams' statement, I suggest that he writes to any of the several automobile, industrial and engineering plants in Detroit, Illinois. ATTENTION!

He will find that he is wrong. In regard to the second part, I feel sure that whatever economics the professor knows he does not bring it into play when discussing the Negro. It is an oversight that alips his memory and attention when he fails to recall that an individual cannot live higher than the wages he receives permit. That in slavery the Negro had no redress. He simply reflected the peculiar conditions of his servitude. Millions of Negro homes all over the States show a decided improvement in proportion to better wages. Cleaner recreation is induged in. Y. M. C. A.'s libraries, lecture halls, churches, correspondence courses, night schools are attended, and the Negro gradually advances to the next step in his round of evolutionary development. The Romans said the Anglo-Saxons were too dull to be slaves, yet today the Anglo-Saxons lead the world. Where are the Romans? The brilliancy of the Negro in slavery is known, and his distinct contribution to "Who Made America," recognized at the last exposition held at the Seventy-first Regiment Armory, New York city. "It is his nature to be easily satisfied, and he does not take kindly to hard work or economy today in order to improve his condition tomorrow. the Negro, generation after generation, continues to have no ambition other than a shatter and food for his immediate need and a passing satisfaction for his appetites and fancies." This is a lai. Negroes have the capacity for hard work and have shown greater resistance to fatigue when the other factors have been equal. The ambitions of Negroes are legion, and from out of the most unfavorable conditions shining lights have developed, an inspiration to all mankind. The tendency of all bodies is for rest and ease. Then the Negro resting or appearing his desires within the radius of his powers is natural. The Negro did not take kindly to slavery, as the wars of the Ashanis, Zulus, Basutus, etc., will prove. When the Negro, after his failure to withhold himself from slavery, reaches that conclusion, he by a unconscious diplomacy felt the odds were against him and he must bide his time. Again, miscegenation was a weapon from which he had no redress. Slaves themselves entered the arena of deviltry to escape the hell of the plantation; the more fortunate, the offspring of lecherous drivers, oversizers and even owners, was a willing tool to find out dissatisfaction and report on every attempt the slaves would make to show their inherent dislike of their condition. Again he writes, "The solution of this economic phase of the race question . . . rests in finding some field of labor for which the Negro is especially fitted and surrendering that弱 to him. He can be used to advantage in the cotton belt of the United States under white direction and management." Prof. Adams, why do you fear the release of the Negro in the United States from peonage and serfdom? The majority of the Negroes may remain in the South, but not as a "solution of the race question." When the new racial consciousness has gripped the Negro in the "cotton belt" and he becomes an intelligent factor in that or any other section of the country, he will be an asset to himself and to those who will, of necessity, cater to his solidarity in this ever-changing scheme of national ambitions, avarice and greed. "Lochie's Warning" comes to my mind at this juncture; "for the lowlands did meet them in battle array." The laws of association would not permit any individual, even if he exerts a conscious intentional effort to overcome the indirect influence of contact; then, again, the cumulative effects of constant repetitions make inroads into the deeper feelings only to react at more favorable periods. It is strange that after these many years Prof. Adams refuses to admit that nature has left out no important part whatever in the make-up of the Negro; that this being so, the Negro will play his part on the stage when the time arrives. Is he not doing so now? At least his Herculean efforts for progress and advancement are apparent. In conclusion, Prof. Adams says, "as long as the trainer (white) has his pistol and whip he gets on very well with the lion (Negro), but if he lays aside these agencies (weapons) and attempts to deal with the lion (Negro) as an equal sooner or later the trainer (white) disappears." Very good, professor. What man has done, man can do. The pistol and whip are not invincible. They are not agencies that will baffle the lion without the slightest chance of his ever achieving their stifult use in self-defense than in aggression. It is to laugh. This bluff is going to be called. You admit the possibility of the trainee disappearing at the hands of the lion. To good, even predict their own downfall, I have met you on your grounds with everything in your favor; what of the time when you meet me on mine? In the light of a so-called civilization, democracy and higher ideals would it not be better to face the facts in the light of reason and an honest solution aimed at or based on equity, justice and mutual respect* Millions of the unborn of these opposing groups will face this issue in bloody and serious combat and I predict that the sons of Ham and daughters of Ethiopia will not be found wanting in resourcefulness to bring victory to the land of our forfathers. The Negro, true friend of America, is constantly rebuked, his affections will undergo a change. Prof. Adama, I desire to call your attention to J. A. Rogers' *Supreman to Man*"; the Negro has been discussed scientifically, historically, in the light of reason and facts; the race question is then of easy solution if there is an honest attempt to treat the case according to the finding of competent opinion. Negroes everywhere are wide awake and can only stop now and then from our busy enterprises to set you right and let public opinion understand that we hold our own brief and defend ourselves from any attack NOTICE To All Divisions and Members of the Universal African Black Cross Nursea All Black Cross Nurse units must secure competent instructors to teach in first aid, community health work and home hygiene and care of the sick.

Whom when I hang my sorrow-laden head Attempt to comfort me with words of cheer And tell me that my heart which now seems dead, Will sing with joy again within a year. Perhaps it will, but now I suffer so. Their words are empty, meaningless, and drear; I clutched at love, and all I grasped was woe— I tried to smile; instead, I shed tear. They only know whose loves are not returned The lonely heart's capacity for grief, They truly know how keen affection spurned Brings suffering that passes all belief.
