No. 14 THE BLOODLESS FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: A great fight is being made all over the world for the establishing and perpetuating of human liberty. In every country and under every clime you will find a ceaseless agitation tending toward the liberation of the human body and mind from the thralldom of slavery and oppression. In some parts the agitation takes a bloody turn, while in others it is bloodless. Among the teeming millions of oppressed who are now agitating for their liberty are four hundred million Negroes. We, believing always in the righteousness of our cause, are conducting a bloodless agitation for the emancipation of ourselves physically and mentally and the liberation of our country Africa. In the fight to reach the top the oppressed have always been encumbered by the traitors of their own race, made up of those of little faith and those who are generally susceptible to bribery for the selling out of the rights of their own country, countrymen and their own people. Negro Traitors As Negroes, we are not entirely free of such an encumbrance. To be outspoken, I believe we are more encumbered in this way than any other race in the world, because of the lack of training and preparation for fitting us for our place in the world among nations and races. The traitor of other races is generally confined to the mediocre or irresponsible individual, but, unfortunately, the traitors among our race are generally to be found among the men highest placed in society, the fellows who call themselves leaders. For us to examine ourselves thoroughly as a people, we will find that we have more traitors than leaders, because nearly everyone who essays to lead the race at this time does so by first establishing himself as the pet of some philanthropist of another race, to whom he will go and debase his race in the worst form, humiliate his own manhood, and thereby win the sympathy of the "great benefactor" who will dictate to him what he should do in the leadership of his people. It is generally, "You must go out and teach your people to be meek and humble; tell them to be good servants, loyal and obedient to their masters. If you will teach them such a doctrine you can always depend upon me to give you $1,000 a year or $5,000 a year for the support of yourself, the newspaper or the institution you represent. I will always recommend you to my friends as a good fellow who is all right," and with this advice and prospect of patronage, the average Negro leader goes out to lead the unfortunate mass. They tell us how good Mr. So and --- NEW YORK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 GITATION OF 400 MENTAI AND PHYSICAL EMANCIPATION OF A RACE THE FIGHT TO REACH THE TOP TRAITORS OF OUR RACE STAND IN THE WAY OPPOSITION OF THOSE OF LITTLE FAITH So is, how many good friends we have in the opposite race, and that if we leave everything to them all will work out well. Not Traitors but Leaders Needed This is the kind of leadership we have been having for the last fifty years. It is nothing else but treachery and treason of the worst kind. The man who will compromise the attitude of his country is a traitor, and even so the man who will compromise the rights of his race can be classified in no other way, than that of a traitor also; hence, I feel that we have more traitors than leaders, and not until we settle down as four hundred million people and let the men who have placed themselves in the lead of us realize that we are disgusted and dissatisfied, and that we shall have a leadership of our own and stick by it when we get it, will be able to lift ourselves from this mire of degradation to the heights of prosperity, human liberty and human appreciation. The Fight for a Place The fight for a place in the world among races and nations is not an easy one, and those who lead it must make up their minds for sacrifice of every kind. They will not expect to get the mark of approval from the one who is in opposition to them, neither will they be regarded as "good fellows." On the contrary, they will be regarded as a menace. But what did Robert Emmett care about the appreciation of England when he struggled for the freedom of Ireland? What did Tolstoi care about the good-will of the privileged class or aristocracy of Russia when he inspired the Russian masses on their own rights? What did Washington care about the appreciation of England when he took up the sword to fight for the freedom of America? Why should Negroes care about the appreciation and regard of the other fellow when we take up the cause of our own liberty, our own emancipation? The standard must be set by ourselves and not by the other fellow. We want a change. Fellows like those who lead the National Association for the advancement of Colored People can lead us nowhere else but into perdition because they --- have to compromise the issue of the Negro; they have to hold him back, have him well bridled, and kept in place. Will the white men who make up the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People allow the "good fellow" to rush by in this rivalry for a standard place in the world? Surely not. If such an opportunity presents itself to the Negro, they will be the first to bridle him and keep him in his place. Gentlemen, how can you lead this way? Can you tell of any race that allows another to lead them? Will the white race allow the black race to lead them? Will the yellow race allow the white race to lead them? Will the brown race of India allow another race to lead them? Then why should the black race allow another race to lead them? It is all a humbug, it is all tommy rot, you cannot lead that way. You are either playing to the gallery or selling your race's rights for a mess of potage. You must come clean, and that is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association demands from all leaders, whether among the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or any other organization. Because the average leader has the "friendship" of his white boss he believes that he holds the club in his hand in that the boss will protect him and his organization. The Will of the People The Universal Negro Improvement Association cares for no other protection than the will of the people. It cares for no other patronage than that of righteousness, and with that standard we go forth to battle with the world for our place among men. Some of us will have to die before we reach the goal, but what do we care about death? Death is but the entering wedge by which we shall see salvation. Let us attune ourselves the world over for the mighty battle that must be fought for the liberation of our race. Four hundred millions of us shall concentrate our forces mentally, physically and financially, and in every way for the rehabilitation of our Mothc.land Africa. That is our duty at this time. You can help greatly by assisting the Universal Negro Improvement Association to put the program over. We need money now more than ever to push the fight on to the gates of liberty. Therefore I ask that you send in what contribution you can to the African Redemption Fund and to all the funds that are being raised by this association for its capitalization to enable it to meet the many demands made for the extension of the work.

Bpeakiog on the subject. “The In- temnationa! Attitude Towards the Ne- nro.” Hon, Marcus Garvey in a force- ful, well-reauoned address, pointed out the real atutude of the Anglo-Bazon towards the Negro, whether he (the Angio-Baxon) be an Englishman, an American, © Frenchman, an Itallan or else, His attitude toward the Negro from @ racial standpoint was that he was @ superior and the Negro an infe- rior belog, and that as such It was bis determinstion to maintain that status and deprive the Negro of every opportunity, whereby he might strive to reach @ position of equality. Mr. Garvey used as an Ilustration the cate of BikL the Senegalese pugiisit, who recently defeated Carpentier, the 1¢ol of Europe, and won the light ‘heavy- weight championship of Europe, but who alnce that time has been doprived of the honor and laurels which he fought for and won, through trickery on the part of white men in their de- sire to wrest from che Necro every honor which will tend to give him e feeling of supciioriy over ur equality with the white man. The case In point, Mr. Garvey sald, boro out the preach- ings of the Universal Nogro Improve- ment Association ever stnoe its incep- tion that the attitude of other people towardn Us was not op Gomestic, but wae International, THat there was ab- solutely no difference between the Englishman and the Frenchman and the American in his attitude towards the Negro on the question of race, but that they were at one in keeping the Negro in @ condition of serfdom and peontge. There is a set position, he sald, for the Negro, not only in Amer- Joa, but ell over the white world. and any-man who Satters himself to believe tHKERIs position 1s one of equality, de- pending upon conditions as they are, bas @ false opnion and m false iden of fe, The only position of oquallty ts that position that you create for your- eilf, Mr, Garvey concluded by saying that the Sik! affair had dteclosed the attitude of the Enclishman and the Brinchman towards the Negro in the exme way that the Jack Johneon affair had disclosed the attitude of the Amer- tean towards the Negro. It was now an open book, and it was for us to deci¢e what cur attitude should be, ‘The other speakers were Hon. R. 1. Poston, Prof. William H. Ferri, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and Hon. 7. W.

Some of the most pointed expressions made by Prof. Fer- rig were these: The only way the Ne- gro can make himself respected and change his status from a despised race lo an admired race {a by bis cumulative achievements and the dynamic force that Be can exercise in the world.

Carpentier was then regarded as the light-heavyweight champion of Europe, and there was very little be- Nef that Carpentier would have lost out to this black man from Senegal, be- cause he was not property trained, and they did not believe he could whip this white man. They thought this white man would have hd an easy lime, and for the sake of making money some of the promoters of the ring got this black Genegaisse to sign up with Carpentier, believing that Car- pentior would have an easy walkover. happened to the contrary. ‘Tale pluck man knocked out Carpentier and ‘nocked him out hopslesaly (applause), snd then after the iaocking out was ione France found out ber mistake.

The psychology of the thing was Uhat France allowed a black man from Africa—e man who was not regarded ase full man—e man who was not re- warded as being entitled to any con- sideration at all, a man whom they ‘sald was Just next door to the ape or the monkey—they allowed that man to go to Europe and knock down a white man and keep him down, looking over him. (Applause.) The Paychology of the Affair Tt was not as much the fight be- tween the two men, but it was the pay- chology of having a white man down and @ black man up looking tn bie face after knocking him down. Then all of ‘© sudden Europe went in an uproar England was very mad; Italy was mad. The whole continent immediately took fire America was mad, because from the time of Jack Johnson America had made up her mind that ebe never would allow a black man to knock out ‘white man for the championship of anything, and that {8 why in America we had such a hard time in getting a match between Wille and Dempsoy In America that is why we had the hounding of Jack Johnson, not that Johnson had committed a crime worse than any other man, because men in higher positions than Jack Johnson committed greater crimes than he had committed. Some of the very men who convicted Jack Johnson might have committed worse crimes against so- clety. It was not that Johnson had so much outraged society, because he hod not outraged society more than Rov. Hall (applause), but Jack John- son had committed a orime of knock- Ing out a white man and winning the heavyweight champlonabip of the world. They bad to find some excuse to get rid of Johnson to restore the championship to the white man, be- cause they could not allow @ Negro to hold such an honor, as It would make the Negro realize that he 1s really « man. You know no monkey can knock down a man. (Laughter) It takes a man to knock down « mar. and it does not only take @ man but it takes @ superior man to knock down a man. ‘Applause.) 80 when Johnson knocked them out he had declared for the u- pertority phyatcally of the Negro race. They could not afford that; they could not allow that. Well, America had her lesson, and she deolded that It would not happen acain, and she made all kinds of laws within the ring to regulate it so that even the government should have a say in who should fight, eo that no adventurer could come along and match any Negro against any white man with the chance of the black man whipping the white man. America ead that she would not allow a black man another chance to knock out a white man; but France hed not the lesson, so some adventurer—just as some adventurer organized the John- son bout which eatised him to become the heavyweight ehampion of the world —arganized this light-heavy- weight bout between Siki and Carpen- er, and France did not concern her- self about It because she had not the experience of America. But the same bing happened in France as happened in Americe—the black man by his| physical prowese and superiority nocked out the white man, and then France found out the sams mistake hat America 41d. ‘Then France sought ways and means of getting rid of Bikt I knew it would ome Whan I heard of Biki's victory nd how he was visiting the cabarets n France, I knew his doom was at and. That fe the white man's way of getting rid of the Negro.

The bout was arranged, and let me say that up to that Ume there was no government regulation in England to prevent biack mon from fighting white men, but when the English government saw that the same thing would repeat Itself in Engiand, they immediately called a conference among themselves and the Secretary for Forolgn Affaire (I think) stepped right In and interfered with the arrangoments and they made 2 law that the fight could not come off and the reason was because thoy had Diack subjects in thelr colonies, and if BikI should lick Beckett they would stick out their cheats and it would impair the reputation of England and Englishmen in the colonies, ‘A Bet Position for the Negro It meane this: That there In a set position for the Negro not only in America, but all over the white world. and any man who fiatters himself to believe that his position is one of equality depending upon conditions nn they are has a false opinion and a false idea of tife. ‘The only position you can keep on equality im that posl- tion that you create for yourself, and that brings me back to what I said thie afternoon as to how miaguided some of our leaders are, believing in the professed friendship of the white man. A Misinterpratation Now when I talk abbut the white man some poople misinterpret me and try to make capital out of It to cre- ate prejudice againet mo on the part of the white man. They say I hate the white man, I do not hato the white man, but I do not love anybody petter than I love myself. I have to speak of the white man because he le the fellow that this race has to knock up egeinst for its futuro or present condition. And when I speak of the white man I speak of him in respect pecause I respect him, because if 1 were white I would do just what he has done, If I were white I would do just what ho ls doins—Keop Negroen down; keep everybody down. So I am not blaming him for doing it. T blame the fool who will allow himself to be kept down, and since I am not one nt those being kept down the fellow who 1s keeping me down must be eter- nally vigilant—he must be always watching because as soon as he turns is back [ am going to knock him lown. So that when | talk of the white man I 4o not talk in the epirit ft hate. I do not want to encourage he epirit of hate. I love the white nan just as much as he loves me. I espect him for his power because ower {s strength and strength is power. You cannot separate them The fellow who fe strong can main-! ain hie equilitrium and maintain his tand anywhere, but the fellow who ts reak ts at the mercy of everybody who anne by. So that if this white man y atrong and we know it we have to espect him for it. and we are crazy f we think he is going to share that ower with us, If you have some se- ret by which you can enjoy happi- esa, the moment you tmpart that o- ret_to somebody else you will be haring your happiness.

Wilbertforce Opens With Record Enrollment . Wilberforce University opened her doors this year to an unusually large number of students, and that, too, in spite of the fact that her accommodations were greatly reduced, due to the burning of Shorter Hall. President Gregg reports that the registrar's office rejected many applications for entrance, knowing there would be a lack of space, but notwithstanding this, students poured in from every section, so that the authorities had to call upon the community for aid in caring for them temporarily until the B. P. Loe Hall can be completed. The reporter learned, by the way, that B. F. Lee Hall, of which the authorities are saying but little, is being erected along with the other forward work of the school, and when completed will be modern in every particular, both commodious and comfortable, and will house about 250 boys. The naming of the hall is a fitting tribute to that saintly man, Bishop B. F. Lee, a former president and now the senior bishop of his church. Perhaps so little is being said about the new dormitory just mentioned because of the larger and more imposing structure that is being erected on the site of old Shorter Hall. It is really an inspiring sight to see the new James A. Shorter Hall taking form as the walls are rapidly going up. The bricklayers and steel workers have completed their work through the third story of the main structure and are pushing forward with the work of the auditorium. The building will be four stories high. The weather has been ideal for the work, and it is hoped that the whole building will be enclosed before winter comes. A Big Day at Wilberforce Bishop J H Jones and the gallant men of the Third Episcopal District have put forth Herculean efforts in supplying the snews of war" for the advancement of the work. Bishops Heard, Conner and Coppin have sent in goodly sums already from their district, and are expecting to send in larger sums at an early date. About one hundred thousand dollars has been raised already and paid on the no structure. The plan has been a "pay-as-you-go" one, and up to the present all the vast amount of material on the ground and the labor have been paid for. Seeing these mighty efforts, surely a generous public is coming to the aid of this historic institution and will help in this great work. A pilgrimage to Wilberforce was planned for October 20. Invitations were sent out to the churches of the third district and delegates came in large numbers. The Ohio conference, which was in session at Springfield, closed for the day and came in a body. A big mass meeting was held in Galloway Hall. President Gregg presented Bishop Jones, who, as master of ceremonies, set forth the object of the meeting. The male quartet rendered a number, solos were sung by Measra. Berry and Myers and Rev. Arnold, and a wonderful address was delivered by Dr. H. P. Jones, pastor of Buclid Avenue A. M. E. Church of Pittsburgh, Pa. The delegates then made a visit to the new building, where they were delighted with the progress made, and, like the Israelites of old, were filled with a "mind to work." The visitors were guests of the university at dinner in Emery Hall dining room, and on every hand were heard the words "The pilgrimage must be made an annual event." Bishop Jones was delighted with the enthusiasm evinced by all, and promised that the building would be ready for dedication at the next commencement. Many new features characterize the work at Wil伯force this year. The college department has established the Four Quarter System, the academic work has been standardized and the industries have been strengthened by the addition of new teachers and more equipment. President Gregg's efforts to re-establish the R. O. T. C. work have been successful, and Major John E. Green and Sergeants Andrews and Button are whipping the recruits into shape. Nearly forty thousand dollars worth of accouments have been received, including a twenty-eight-piece band costing $2,500. Two new teachers have been added to the staff, and the work goes on well.

Nov. 8 - The Negro Organization Society of Virginia, which will hold its tenth annual meeting in Richmond, November 18-17, under the presidency of Allen W. Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, for the exchange of ideas of health, education, and child welfare among those who are working to improve churches. Sunday schools, public and private schools and fraternal organizations, has these aims. To stimulate a desire for better education and better health. To help the people raise money for community improvements. To commit the leaders and the masses to the policy of self-help. To impress upon the people the value of fresh air. To co-operate with the best white people in matters of public welfare. The Negro Organization Society of Virginia, which began actual work in 1912, is one of the significant results of the "lateral influence" of Hampton Institute among some 400,000 Virginia Negroes. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, founder and first president of this society, stated this policy. "We plan to make the Negro more efficient, more self-respecting and thereby more respected, more useful to himself and his neighbors. We are working together for the good of our people, our State, and our nation. There certainly can be no interest more fundamental to the white people than that we black people should be clean and healthy, that they should be efficient and frugal, for disease in the Negro cabin will vary likely and its way to the white manhood." Signs of Negro Progress The annual meetings of this society, in which Dr. John M. Gandy, president of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute (the colored State Normal School) in Petersburg, has served efficiently from the beginning as executive secretary, has revealed these important facts concerning Virginia Negroes: They are securing, through co-operation with white neighbors and officials, and, above all, through closer co-operation among themselves, new and better schoolhouses, better-trained and better-paid teachers, longer school terms, better school equipment, and more playground territory about their schools. They are paying more attention than ever before to the health of their children, both in school and at home. They are making their schools, churches and homes more comfortable and attractive. They are sending more of their children to school, and are insisting upon their children attending school more regularly. They are placing a higher value on education which will fit men and women for more useful citizenship. They are learning to do together more of the common tasks of life, chief among which is the more complete education of their own children in the public schools. They are taking more pride in their own leaders. HOWARD ELEVEN SWAMPS MORGAN COLLEGE BY SCORE OF 52 TO 6 HOWARD ELEVEN SWAMPS MORGAN COLLEGE BY SCORE OF 52 TO 6 WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 7.—The Howard University football eleven won an easy victory over Morgan College, of Baltimore, Md., in the game played between the two schools on the Howard Campus Saturday, November 4, the score being 83 to 6. The "Blue and White" team secured a touchdown in the first minute of play at the opening of the game, and made three additional touchdowns in the first quarter. Two of the four tries for extra points were successful, one being gained with a line play, The Howard varsity regulars were too strong defensively for the Morgan College eleven to make any headway, but the visitors managed to break through by use of a forward pass for a touchdown when the Howard second-string men were in action during the third quarter. The game began with the kickoff by Howard to the Morgan boys, who brought the ball back to their 18-yard line. The visitors upon the second play for gains tumbled and Doneghy, fullback for Howard, recovered the ball and took it across the Morgan goal line for a touchdown. A drop kick was attempted by Quarterback Carter but failed. Howard again kicked off to Morgan. The visitors this time succeeded in bringing the ball up to their 20-yard line. After three trials for gains they were compelled to punt, the ball being brought back by Howard to about the center of the field. A successful forward pass by Howard taded them on Morgan's 20-yard line. A line play was then tried which resulted in a 12-yard gain. Another line play, with Melton, left halfback for Howard, carrying the ball, resulted in a touchdown. Carter again failed in the attempted drop kick. For the third time Howard kicked off to Morgan. The visitors THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 American Negro Appointed on Moscow Commission (Special to The Nagro World) MOSCOW, Nov. 11- At the sessions of the Comintern Congress held here today a commission was appointed to consider the international problem of oppressed Negroes. A prominent American Negro, whose name has not yet been made public, has been appointed on the commission. were stopped upon the run back with the ball on their 13-yard line. Evidence of the bewildered state of mind of the Morgan College boys was seen in the first play tried. In this play the attempt was made to kick out but upon the throw from Morgan's center the ball went wild, striking the goal post and landing in the hands of a Howard player. By the use of two line plays the ball was worked from the 5-yard line across Morgan's goal line for another touchdown, being taken over by Melton. A successful forward pass from Carter to Doneghy gave Howard the extra point. Howard this time permitted Morgan to make the kickoff. The ball was brought up the field by Carter to Morgan's 20-yard line. Upon the first play Doneghy took the ball across for the fourth touchdown for the first quarter. By the use of a line play with the ball in Carter's hands the extra point was secured. Morgan was again permitted to kickoff. Howard brought the ball to about the center of the field. When the referees' whistle blew announcing the end of the first quarter, Howard had brought the ball to the Morgan boys' 20-yard line. Just before the close of the first quarter Howard substituted a complete team except for the quarterback, who remained in the game. With the beginning of the second quarter Webster substituted for Carter as quarterback. After a couple of line plunges the ball was taken from the Morgans' 10-yard line, where the play began, across the visitors' goal line for a touchdown by Whitted. Howard substitute halfback. A drop-kick was tried by Jackson, substitute fullback, which proved successful. Howard chose to kick off to Morgan, and upon the run back stopped the visitors on their 15-yard line. The Morgan boys punched out. The ball was played up and down the field from one team to the other until the signal from the referee announced the end of the first half. The second half began with Howard kicking off to Morgan, Howard second string man being permitted to start the half. The visitors succeeded in bringing the ball up to their 25-yard line. After trying to make gains through Howard's line, the Morgan boys took the aerial route and succeeded in working a delayed forward pass on the second team Howard boys which landed safely in the hands of one of Morgan's players situated some 30 yards down the field in the clear, from which place he scooted across Howard's goal for a touchdown. A drop-kick was tried or the extra point, but failed to go between the posta. Apparently this score by Morgan angered the Howard regulars, for they were immediately sent in, and as soon as they hit the field a touchdown was made, being secured by a Howard player recovering the ball back of Morgan's goal line, where it landed from the kick-off by Howard. The extra point was secured by a drop-kick by Carter. Morgan was permitted to kick off, and Howard brought the ball far back down the field in to Morgan's territory. By the use of a number of plays which within the period of about two minutes brought them across Morgan's goal another touchdown was registered. Malton was the carrier of the pigskin. A drop-kick for the extra point failed. Howard chose to kick off. The visitors brought the ball to their 20-yard line and lost it on downs. Within a short period the ball was again taken across Morgan's goal. This time Conte, right halfback, made a successful drop-kick for the extra point. The fourth quarter found the ball in the hands of Howard after the "Blue and White" warriors had kicked off to Morgan and compelled them to punt. When the game ended the ball was in Howard's possession on Morgan's 20-yard line. The Morgan college boys were clearly outmatched, and would hardly have scored had not Howard sent in her second string man. Quite a large and enthusiastic crowd witnessed the game. All eyes were centered on the "Blue and White" regulars who so easily piled up the score against the visitors. Summary:— Howard Position College Williams L.E. Hill Bagly L.T. Reed Nurse L.G.

Through training in "FOLLOW ME" AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE "Follow me, declared to be the greatest colored musical show in the world since Williams and Walker, will be at the Lafayette theatre week commencing Monday matinee, November 13. Fifty singers, dancers and vaudeville stars make up the clever production. Critics claim the attraction superior in presentation with song and dance. One of the country's leading critics says "The fact that two of the race's best comedians, in the persons of Billy Higgins and Clifford Rosa, are featured will give reason to believe the claims of the producers and managers that the comedy end of this attraction is 100 per cent right, and a peek at the line-up of principals, in which such names as Ernest R. Whitman, Alice Gorgas, Susie Sutton, Bob Bramlett, Legitt Sisters, Stafford and Watia, Iola Young. The Follow Me Four, Ollie Burgoyne, Flo Dade, Walter Brodsdale and many others appear, is one of the finest recommendations for a fast working and up-to-the minute evening's entertainment that could be desired." There is also a pretty and sweet singing chorus of high caliber in support of the cast named above, and the quartet, which is different from the regulation production four in that they can sing and do so, with fine effect. The entire group is drilled to the final notch, the ensembles being done with a swift action that leaves no chance for the customary waits. There are sixteen scenes in the two big acts, and the settings are all new and attractive. The costuming is fresh and nifty, the music beautiful, and there are many novel electrical and scenic effects, including a snow and rain storm which is vividly realistic. There is, as usual, a light comedy story running throughout the piece with just enough sorrowiness in well-developed spots to hold interest. A tip to the Lafayette natrons: "Follow Me" is one production that has played. to a turnaway business in every city it has played, so reserve your seats early. There will be a matinee daily and a midnight show on Friday night. (Special to The Norm World.) (Special to The Negro World ) PARIS, France, Nov. 11.—A new Negro novel, said to equal, if not surpass, Rene Maran's "Batouala," has just been published by Frans Hellen, editor of Le Disque Vert. "Bass Bassina-Boulou," as it is called, is a story of African life. It is a searching study of Negro life and character. Soon it will be translated into English and published by a prominent American publishing house. According to a review in one of the leading magazines of Brussels, "Bass Bassina-Boulou" is the story of a Negro magician and his adventures over the African continent. What strange, what amazing, what powerful story is this, the story of this marvelously sculptured fetish made in the depths of Africa by a Negro magician, and which through adventure after adventure, which surpasses the invention of Dumaa, after dramatic battles and escapes and many unaccountable disappearances, finishes its existence in the most brilliant, if at the same time somewhat melancholy, civilization of Europe, which is France. There is something epic about it that symbolizes civilization, and the story is related with a peculiar mingling of genuine affection, humor, and philosophy. With this novel Frans Hellens has given the world something important and new, and made a place for himself among the best writers of the modern world.

AUTHOR COMES TO HARLEM TO STUDY THE NEGRO TYPES Miss Gertrude Sanborn's "Veiled Aristocrats" Presents New Phase of Problem A book that is bound to create a literary furore is "Veiled Aristocrats," a study of the social life and customs of the American colored people, by Miss Gertrude Sanborn, a young woman of distinguished social, literary and artistic standing, of Milwaukee, Wis. This book will be brought out soon by Boni & Liveright. Miss Sanborn lived in the Black Belt of Chicago, and after a careful, dispassionate study of the colored people, she is convinced there is essentially no difference psychologically or otherwise between the two races. "It isn't necessary for artists and writers to go to the South Seas in search of extraordinary types," she wrote back to a friend in Milwaukee. "Among the mulattoes in Chicago there are women of astonishing loveliness, many of whom have been educated abroad." She is the author of three novels, "Toy," "Bilhosome Jottings," and "I. Citizen of Eternity," which were received quite favorably by the leading critics in America. Miss Sanborow is in New York at present, and on Wednesday, Nov. 5, was entertained at luncheon at the Odds and Ends Tea Room, 145 West 11st street, by Mr. J. A. Rogers, the young author; William H. Ferris and Eric D. Walrond of The Negro World. SISTER-MARTHA HOWELL OF WASHINGTON, D.

C. Nov. 7.—An other step forward was made in the Negro Collegiate World when the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority at Howard University on the first of November opened the doors of its new sorority home at 692 Howard place, N. W., Washington, D. C. The sorority home is on the university campus and affords to the members of the sorority, who are privileged to occupy it, convenient access to the university buildings and grounds and opportunity to enjoy both the advantage of taking part in every phase of student life at Howard and the pleasure of the close contact to be experienced in living together in their own home. After having made quite extensive preparations the girls of the Delta Sigma Theta now find themselves in a beautifully appointed sorority home, a place where each member of the organisation may go and feel that she will find companionable friends at all times. Dining hall arrangements are also provided in the home and other conveniences conducive to the comfort of the girls have been supplied. In addition to the cultured discipline which the members of the sorority observe, in keeping with the ideals of their organization, the girls are fortunate in having Mrs. Ernest Martin house mother, and Miss Lloy D. Slowe, dean of women of Howard University, to look after their interests and advise them in all necessary matters pertaining to the conduct of the home. The officers of the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, which has undertaken the commendable work of conducting a sorority house, are Mra. Caryn G. Robinson, president; Miss Eleanor Harper, vicepresident; Miss Missa Altaite Taylor, secretary; Miss Ethel Jones, corresponding secretary; Miss Martha Jones, treasurer, and Miss Virginia Ruffin, chaplain. In all the work which has been done in connection with the arrangements for the sorority home for the Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta, much encouragement and help by contribution and otherwise have come from the honorary members of the organization. Among the honorary members of the sorority living in Washington who were donors and who gave other assistance in providing the home were: Mrs. A. H. Glass, Miss Nannle H. Burrougha, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. George W. Cook, Mrs. Emmett J. Scott, Mrs. Gabrielle Polzm, Mrs. D. W. Woodard and others. Much assistance has also come from the members of the Beta Beta Chapter, the graduate chapter of the sorority located at Washington and composed of members of the sorority living in Washington who have graduated from Howard and other schools where there are chapters of the organization. At present the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has nineteen chapters. It was organized at Howard University in 1913 and since its organization its influence has been carried to many of the leading co-educational institutions throughout the United States. Of the nineteen chapters in the sorority three chapters are occupying houses. It is most interesting to note the rapid growth and the helpful influence of such fraternity organizations in the life of the Negro college women. 135TH ST.

THE GREAT ELECTION THE Democratic landslide swept over the country on Tuesday, November 7, with the suddenness and unexpectedness of an unheralded blizzard. In Massachusetts Henry Cabot Lodge, the ablest man in the U. S. Senate, a man who has distinguished himself both as a statesman and scholar, was re-elected by a plurality of less than 9,000. In New York ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith, a Democrat, was elected by a plurality of approximately 400,000, carrying the entire Democratic ticket with him, leaving in the wreckage the Republican Senator, Calder. In New Jersey President Harding's friend, Senator Frelinghuysen, went down to defeat before Governor Edwards. In Ohio a Democratic Governor was elected. In Indiana ex-Senator Beveridge went down to defeat. In Michigan a Democratic Senator was elected for the first time in seventy years. Delaware, Maryland and Wyoming elected Democratic Senators, Nebraska elected a democratic Governor and New Hampshire elected a Democratic Governor for the second time since 1815. In a word, the Republican majority in both the Senate and the House was considerably reduced. The Rise of the People The New York World stated on Thursday, November 9, in an editorial: "On Tuesday, November 2, 1920, the American people by a plurality of 7,000,000 voted to give Warren G. Harding and his Republican associates a blank check for the conduct of the government of the United States. On Tuesday, November 7, 1922, they voted to stop payment on the check. The country as a whole is against the tariff, it is against Daughertyism, it is against a leaderless administration and it is against the normalcy that masks political bourbonism and reaction. It has again turned its face toward political liberalism in government." Some attribute the phenomenal vote of Al Smith to his personal popularity, personal magnetism and to the fact that he had a wine and beer platform, but it seems to us that the New York World aptly summed up the situation. The reactionary Fordney-McCumber tariff had something to do with the result. We heard the night before election one man tell another man down town: "Governor Miller is an able man, but he is a corporation lawyer. He is a rich man's candidate. You are poor and I am poor. The rich people are against us. Therefore let us vote against Governor Miller because in defeating him we will defeat the rich." We heard one colored man tell a group of colored men in Harlem the night after election: "I have nothing personally against Governor Miller, but he wanted me to pay 8 cents to ride from Harlem to Brooklyn Bridge, therefore I voted against him." That is how people talked. When the poor man toils or sweats in shop or factory, when he trudges wearily home and sees the rich, and especially the new rich, riding in autos, proud, arrogant and haughty, his soul rebels at his lot and condition in life, and that rebellion manifested itself at the polls las' Tuesday. Breaking Party Lines But while the Democratic landslide was a protest against the Harding administration, it was not a return to Wilsonism, as some of the Democratic Senators and Governors who were elected by large pluralities were anti-Wilson, anti-league Democrats. The voters throughout the country showed the tendency to act independently of old party lines. The Democratic party is the poor man's party, but yet organized labor turned against Pomerene, the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Ohio, who was reactionary during the railroad strike, and sent him down to defeat. In Minnesota the man who won the fight for the Senate was neither an old line Republican nor an old line Democrat, but a radical running on an independent ticket. In Nebraska Hitchcock, the Democratic candidate for the Senate, bowed before the onslaught of an anti-administration Republican. Is it seems that wherever a candidate for the Senate or for Governor possessed a strong personality and liberal and progressive ideas he usually won out whether he was a Republican or Democrat. And wherever he was reactionary and non-progressive he usually went down to defeat whether he was a Republican or Democrat. What's wrong with the old parties? The Republican party, called the G. O. P., the grand old party, has had a great, grand and glorious history. It was formed as a protest against slavery. It fought and won the war to preserve the United. It emancipated the slave. It clothed him with the panoply of citizenship. It housed representative colored leaders with political positions. It has been in the saddle for forty-ax of the sixty-two years in which this country has attained a prosperity and great opportunity for education and freedom of speech unparalleled in the annals of man. Three-fourths of the most distinguished american produced by America during the past seventy years have been members of this party. Than this Democratic party has had a history, though not as great as grand and glorious that of the Republican party. It has been in Thomas Jefferson. The fact that one powerful wing of the party formerly held slaves and now disfranchises and jimmy Carter was given up in their realizing its ideals. Still, with national milieu professors and political economists who have been conservative and party bosses have lined up with this THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 things had their reflex psychological reaction upon Negro voters. Still it would not be advisable for the Negro to go en masse into the Democratic party everywhere, because the solid South is still the most powerful wing of the party. Although Govegnor-elect Alfred E. Smith is more magnetic and more popular with the masses than Governor Miller, it was unfortunate that the latter went down to defeat. While lacking in the qualities that make one a popular hero, it was conceded by the New York World, the New York Globe, the New York Sun and the New York Tribune that he was one of the ablest Governors who held the fort at Albany. He possessed administrative and executive ability, was courageous and independent. And he saved money. In England the ablest men and greatest thinkers, like the younger Pitt, Sir Robert Peel, John Bright, Disraeli, Gladstone, John Morley, Juatn McCarthy, Lord Salisbury, Viscount Bryce, Asquith, Lord Balfour, David Lloyd George and Bonar Law, have entered politics. But in America the ablest men stay out not only out of the pulpit, but out of politics. They make more money out of law, brokerage and business. They are fettered by the non-progressive theology of the churches, and they don't like the idea of catering to the bosser or the crowd in politics. Penrose and Knox have passed away Elthu Root and Chauncey M. Depew have retired from active life. William Howard Taft, Secretary Hughes and Senator Lodge will retire in a few years. And the fate of Gov Miller may discourage men of exceptional ability, courage and independence from entering public life. It is worthy of note that the Socialists nominated A Philip Randolf, a colored man, for Secretary of State and Frank Crosswaite, another colored man, for Congre On the face of the returns the opponent of Congressman Martin C Ansorge is given a majority of 226 out of a total vote for Congress of 67,000 Mr Ansorge does not concede Mr Weller's election and there will undoubtedly be a recount. This Mr Ansorge's friends hope will show that he has been returned to Congress. We were requested to run for the Republican nomination for Congress, but we were too busy to organize our forces, and those who should have done so were out of the city. That is why we reluctantly dropped out of the race for the nomination. Then some of our friends desired us to run on an independent ticket. We knew that we could not win the election running as a free lance and that our running would only pull enough Republican votes away from Ansorge to defeat him. We appreciated his speech on the Dyer bill and his naming young Holley for Annapolis, and we didn't desire to defeat him when we had nothing to gain. We spoke favorably of him to our friends, but did not figure prominently in his campaign. Those who managed his campaign thought they could pull him through without any assistance or aid from us, and that is why we didn't desire to butt in on a close corporation and offer our services where they were not needed. We would have been glad to have lent him the support of our pen and voice. We hope the recount will show him re-elected. We didn't contemplate entering the race for Congressman because we disliked the Hon Mr Ansorge, but because we thought it would add to the prestige and dignity of the Negro race to have one of its own representatives sit among the lawmakers of this great republic in the Capitol at Washington. WILLIAM D. FURRIS. 1111. world recalls how when Sam Langford, Jack Johnson and Battling Ski attained fistic prominence that their animal characteristics were overemphasized. It was stated that a "gorilla" could easily whip Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries together, that Sam Langford fought back with all of the ferocity latent in his "jungle nature" and that Ski boxed as a "chimpanzee" would box if it were taught the manly art of self-defense. So since black men leaped to the front in the roped arena boxing has been regarded as a brute's game in which the gorilla or chimpanzee can excel man. But now Mr Trevor C. Wignall steps upon the scene when an Englishman defeats an Irishman in England and restores the manly art of self-defense to its pristine glory. Mr Wignall, writing in the Daily Mail of London, says. "Letters which have reached me during the last few days and conversations I have had with people representative of many walks of life point definitely to the fact that preparations are being made to start an agitation which will have as its object the banning of big fights. "There is evidence, indeed, that a petition is at the moment being drawn up for presentation to the Home Secretary. "We are about due for another outburst. They arrive regularly, once in every ten years or so. The last of note was when Jack Johnson, then heavyweight champion of the world, came to London to fight Bombardier Wells. "Since then objectors have been comparatively quiet. No props sufficiently strong to support their arguments have been supplied them, they have been deprived—much to their sorrow, one thinks—of every foundation on which a protest could be based. The Pretext "Now, however, they are using as a pretext for their assumed horror the recent contest between Joe Beckett and Frank Moran. Only a little less distinct are the voices of those who in a wilderness of their own making are demanding the immediate prohibition of the coming fight between Beckett and 'Battling' Siki. "One of my correspondents (he represents, it may be remarked, an unexpectedly large section of the community) in all seriousness pleads for the elimination of the knockout. As well request the M C. C. to pass a law which will obviate the possibility of Hobbs making more than ten runs in any cricket match. "The knockout is boxing. If ever it is made illegal—the thought, of course, is ludicrous—boxing will join company with marbles and pea shelling and other exciting pastimes. It will no longer be a sport. It will be a magnificent joke. The Cure for Cranks "I wish Mr. A. F. Betinson or Major Wilson or some other promoter would arrange a heavyweight tournament for the sole benefit of those who are forever prating about the degrading influences of boxing. They would be shown much that would astonish them, much that would thrill them, much that would help in destroying their preconceived, absurd notions. "That there is a bigger following for boxing today than has ever been the case since fist combats were invented was demonstrated at the Royal Albert Hall two weeks ago. The audience reminded one of a society gathering; it was representative, fashionable, while there was never a note that jarred. "There should be no panderings to the prejudiced clamorings of the few. The last agitation was given room in which to spread itself; the next, if it materializes, should be most strenuously opposed. "It must be impressed upon the agitators that it was the spirit of physical combat that brought us successfully through the war. "The Beckett-Moran fight has been variously described as brutal recognition than he has received in any other American city except Chicago under the Thompson Republican regime. But new social, industrial, economic and political issues come upon the scene and the political party's problem is the problem of the church and the college. It must preserve the historic traditions that brought it into being and made it what it was and at the same time adjust itself to modern needs and problems. There are thousands of Republican and Democratic voters who are in the state of mind of thousands of churchmen. They feel that the political and ecclesiastical organizations of which they are members have not kept pace with modern progress. Then there is a graver criticism against the Republican party. It is claimed that it has deserted the idealistic and humane traditions of its founders and fallen into the hands of mammon worshippers who grind money out of the toil of the poor and make them pay heavily for the necessities and comforts of life. Revolt Against Bosses An interesting feature of the campaign in New York City was the contest of John P. Cohalan, who had served as surrogate judge for fourteen years, was indorsed by two bar associations, recognized by eminent Boston lawyers and by scholars such as Dr. Joseph Dunn of Washington, and yet was denied a renomination, caused by what the New York Tribune called a "Bi-partisan combination of bosses effected for the purpose of controlling the bench." Without an organization behind him, without a big campaign barrel, he tilted against two organized and well-established parties and John P O'Brien, a popular candidate, in a Democratic landslide year and polled over 70,000 votes, nearly 25 per cent of the total vote cast for the surrogate candidates. The New York World a few weeks ago commented upon the listlessness of the voters in the present campaign. And we must admit that the campaigns lack the enthusiasm of the campaigns in our school and college days. We recall when the Hyperion was packed and jammed in New Haven to hear Fred Douglass, Chauncey M. Depew, Wayne McVeagh and ex-Gov. Waller. We recall when the Grand Opera House was crowded to the very stairways to hear Bourke Cockran. We recall the torchlight processions during the campaign and the bonfires and jubilant celebrations after the election. Then men had party loyalty and party enthusiasm. Then men didn't vote for candidates because they loved them as because they were Republicans and Democrats. And they were Republicans and Democrats not so much because of the petty jobs they would get and the pittance that would be handed out to them at election times as speakers and workers as because they believed that their parties represented great principles of government and justice. Then Gov. English, Gov. Bigelow, Gov. Waller, Gov. Henry H. Harrison, Gov. Bulkley, Gov. Lounsbury, Senator Joseph Hawley, Senator O. H. Platt, Judge Henry Lynde Harrison, Judge Livingstone W. Cleaveland and Congressman N. G. Sperry did not have to kotow to a group of powerful politicians to get nominated, elected or renominated and re-elected. But they were governed by what they regarded as the best interest of the country and community. The same thing happened in Connecticut twelve years ago when Judge Simeon E. Baldwin was chosen as the Democratic candidate for Governor, and eight years ago when Judge Holcomb had retired from the bench, was chosen as the Republican candidate for Governor. In those days delegates to town, State and national conventions were not hand picked and instructed by powerful bosses. No one knew who would be nominated. James Garfield and William Jennings Bryan won the presidential nominations and Black won the gubernatorial nomination in New York State through brilliant speeches. But ultimately astute politicians with organizing ability began to build up powerful political machines. Tom Platt built up a machine in New York, Matt Quay in Pennsylvania, Henry Cabot Lodge in Massachusetts and O. R. Fyler in Connecticut. They succeeded so well and remained in power so long that other men followed suit. The result has been that during the past twenty years powerful ward, city and State machines have been built up all over the country. When Mark Hanna in the spring of 1896 built up the machine that snowed under Thomas B. Reed, the Speaker of the House, and landed former Governor William McKinley of Ohio the country sat up and took notice. The prestige and popularity gained by Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders enabled him to land as Governor of New York in spite of Tom Platt. Then the leaders conspired to bury him politically by nominating and electing him as Vice-President. President McKinley was assassinated and Col. Roosevelt landed as President in spite of the well laid plans of sagacious politicians. What we really have in Chicago is not so much a Republican party, but a Thompson party. What we really had in Philadelphia was not so much a Republican party, but a Vare party, using the party name, party history, party traditions, party organizations, party symbols and party emblems to crystallize its power and perpetuate its power. Now, loyalty to a man who is rich, courageous and generous cannot call forth the enthusiasm that loyalty to a great cause and principles can. Then voters instinctively feel that even when the political boss is rich and generous they are living under a monarchy and not a democracy. When men elect a Governor or Senator or judge they want to feel that he will be a real Governor, Senator or judge, and not the feeble echo of a powerful boss or a group of powerful bosses. An organization is a great asset in nominating and electing a candidate and is very serviceable when used for the purpose of building up the party. The danger comes when a ward, city or State boss uses the organization to perpetuate himself in power and to suppress men who are abler and nobler than himself. And this ultimately happens. In Massachusetts Eugene Foss, who was reputed to be suppressed by the Lodge machine and left the party, twice won the election as Democratic candidate for Governor, defeating the Republican candidate. In another Northern State a Republican candidate for Governor who was picked by the bosses was defeated by an abler and stronger Democratic candidate. In another Northern city the Republican boss weakened his party by suppressing three men who surpassed him in education and oratorial ability. Then the Democrats captured the city. Then after a defeat the boss loses his prestige and popularity. Part of the strength of the Progressive party resided in the fact that strong men who had been suppressed by Republican and Democratic machines flocked to it. The Negro Breaking the Traces For the first time in our life we saw Harlem Negroes rejoicing oves a Democratic victory. While Congressman Martin B. Ansorge and Rev. Bolden polled more than 50 per cent of the Negro vote in Harlem, none of the other Republican candidates polled more than 50 per cent of the Negro votes, and some polled less. President Harding in his Birmingham speech intimated that the Republican party was tired of carrying the Negro, and he advised him to divide his vote. Then again he seemed to cater to the Lily White faction of the Republican party in the South and did not appoint colored men to the positions that they held under the Taft administration. Then, too, the Republican Senate did not put over the $5,000,000 Liberian loan and did not pass the Dyer bill. Then, too, Tammy handed out more plums to black men than the Republicans did when they dominated New York politics. All of these The Defeat of Governor Miller Martin C. Ansorge Demands Recount BOXING AS A SPORT The Pretext The Cure for Cranks (Continued on page 5) NEGRO EDUCATION MAKES PROGRESS IN NORTH CAROLINA General Assembly and Officials Support State-Wide Program for Better Citizenship HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 18.—That North Carolina citizens, both white and colored, have succeeded in finding a way to keep together by working together for a common, worthy cause—the care and nurture of God-given children—was the opinion expressed by Dr Wallace Butrick of New York, president of the General Education Board, at the recent two-day conference on North Carolina's program of Negro education, which was held in Raleigh, N C. under the auspices of the Division of Negro Education (N C. Nowboid, director) in the State Department of Public Instruction (Dr E C. Brocks superintendent). Progress Through Confidence Doctor Brooks, who came into office in January, 1919, outlined the progress which North Carolina has made in Negro education during four years. Early in his administration, at an educational conference, representative Negroes issued their "Declaration of Principles." In this document they made a vigorous appeal for co-operation mutual confidence and racial integrity. They spoke against the appeal to force which encourages mob law. This declaration restored mutual confidence and made it possible for white and colored citizens to go forward in education "This declaration," said Doctor Brooks, "brought co-operation, peace and harmony. The repudiation of appeal to force captured the hearts and minds of the best people in North Carolina. Of course, there are still injustices and defects. To go forward, however, we must have standards by which we can measure our progress. Today Negroes in North Carolina are confident men and women. It is the duty of the State to back up the confidence of these people. North Carolina has confidence in its colored people." Signe of Educational Progress Director Newbold declared that North Carolina has kept faith with the colored people and "made good" in its State educational program, involving $335,000 for Negro schools, in its local educational program, involving $1,525,000, and in its Negro public school teachers' salary program, involving $1,500,000. Some of the important outlays in North Carolina's Negro education program carried out during the past year follow: (1) Construction of two dormitories at the Slater Normal School and a combination building to be used as a gymnasium and auditorium, together with industrial classes—cost $134,000. (2) At Elizabeth City Normal School an administration building—cost with equipment, about $125,000—nearing completion; also a principal's home, a three-teacher practice school, together with heating, water and sewerage system costing $40,000—total spent at this school about $170,000. (3) At Fayetteville Normal School an administration and classroom building, a dormitory for girls containing seventy-one rooms and a water-sewage system—all nearing completion—cost $166,000. HOWARD UNIV. FACULTY HAVE NOTABLE DINNER; 183 PERSONS PRESENT HOWARD UNIV. FACULTY HAVE NOTABLE DINNER; 183 PERSONS PRESENT WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13.—The greatest get-together meeting in the history of the Howard university was the allied faculty gathering in the new dining hall on the university campus Wednesday evening, November 8. For the first time the faculties of the Junior College, Schools of Liberal Arts, Applied Science, Music, Religion, Law and Medicine sat down at dinner and for conference as to how the whole university may co-operate with the School of Medicine in securing the conditional gift of $250,000 offered by the General Education Board of New York City provided the university raises an equal sum. Although the new dining hall has but recently been turned over by the contractors for use, it has already become the center of university social life and activity. The get-together dinner was the opening gun in the campaign to raise the $500,000 endowment for the School of Medicine. President J. Stanley Durkee presided at the dinner. He laid before the faculty group the opportunity which has come to the university to prove itself equal to the need of the hour, and introduced in turn Doctor-Scott, the secretary-treasurer of the university, who spoke in some detail of the present stage of the campaign, revealing the fact that substantially $50,000 is already in hand or padded toward the amount needed; Dr. E. A. Balloch, dean of the School of Medicine; Dr. W. C. McNeill, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. H. H. Hassen, of the Medical School faculty; Mr. James A. Cobb, acting dean of the School of Law; Dr. D. Butter Pratt, dean of the School of Religion; Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the Junior College; Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women; Mr. William B. Best, secretary of the student branch Y. M. C. A., and Col. C. E. O. Howard, professor of military science and tactics. Dean Kelly Miller suggested that each member of the faculty pledge not less than one month's salary toward the medical school endowment.

Beckett's first action after the contest had ended was to offer Moran refreshment: Moran's gesture as he walked to his corner was one of the most gallant, one of the most chivalrous I have ever witnessed He seemed to be saying, “The fight 1s over I am beaten. Good luck to my conqueror.” ” Mark what Mr Wignall says of the Beckett-Moran fight: “It was not pretty or particularly skillful, but it brought out and eisplayed qualities that were very splendid to observe—courage, actermination, the will to succeed ; all those things that are among man’s finest assets" So as to whether fighting is regarded as a man’s game or a xortlla’s game seems to depend upon whether the blond variety or the ebony hued variety of mankind wins and excels.

We were surprised that the release sheet of the N. A. A.C. P. did not call attention to Mr Eric D. Walrond’s article, “On Being Black.” in the November | issue of the New Republic. This ws the query: Are we to understand that the N. A. A. C P. has the set determination to ignore the literary, psychic, musical and artistic achievement of men and women of color who are not of its fold and that in reality it is not a national association for the advancement of colored people, but a national association for the advancement of certain people? We cannot look into a man’s mind as we look at the stars with 4 telescope or germs through the microscope and see the agitations and cogitations. We can only judge a man by what he does, eays and writes, by the way he looks, talks, walks and dresses. We div- like exceedingly to misinterpret and prejudice motives, as we aim to be faft and just to all men, black, brown, yellow and white. But, judging from its actions, the N. A. A. C.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1822 THE BAPTIST CRISIS Jeraira ny specta! am N the summer of 1914 the National Negro Baptist convention I split “‘n Chicago, II., over the contro! of the publishing board Rev. Dr. E. H. Morris and Rev. Dr. Boyd led the two factions. These two legders died within a few weeks last summer. Before they died they were contemplating a union of the Baptist forces. On December 6 the National Baptist convention will assemble in St. Louia, Mo., to elect a new president. Five men have been prominently mentioned for the position and indorsed by local associations: Dr. W. H. Moses of New York City, Dr, W. H Parks of Philadelphia, Pa; Rev Dr Norman of Washington. D. C.. Rev. Dr P. J Bryant of Atlanta, Ga., and Rev. Dr L. K Wilhams of Chicago, II. The two outstanding figures are Dr W H. Moses of New York City and Dr. L. K Williams of Chicago. Both are powerful preachers and successful pastors, and both are men of national ‘eputations. Both are original thinkers and born leaders of men In addition Dr. Willams is a scholar and possesses a heroic per- sonality . But in this crisis the situation calls for a man who can unite both the Morris and Boyd factions. Dr. Moses seems to be a man tor the task. He is broad-gauged and open minded He has made his church, the National Baptist Church on Rast 125th street, Har- ‘lem, an open forum where both radicals and conservatives could air their views He was a warm personal frend of both Dr Morris and Dr Boyd Therefure he seems to be the man of the hour to unite the erstwhile warring Baptist factions.

If the answer is “yes,” then soclety should know the course to pur- ue tn order to lmit the spread of this disease, and each individual man or woman should be taught the correct answer in order that each may act to the best interest of the child and eoci- ety at large How, then, dose medical sotence answer these questions? Med- feal ectence has found that tubsroulosie fm infectious—that ia, @ healthy ind!- vidual coming in close contact with another suffering with tuberculosis tn- variably tnhales the germ through the dust particles in the air, or by actual personal contact through kissing or the use of the same spoon, dishes or glasses, the tubercular germ enters the mouth and proceeds on its pathway to the throat, bronchial tubes and lunge.

The result ls that child ts born with a low resistance and hered- itary Gefect from an unsuspecting tu- bercular parent.

MeOLAIN ‘The intellect of the Negro ls a widely eceeoee problem. It seems to be un- derstood by the “white world” that the Negro’s intellectual power is tar below that of the average white man. The average American Negro does not know the actual value of bie intellec- tual power, because of the fact that “Intellect” has been rarely @iscussed tn this country. For ages white man has regarded the Negro as intellectually his inferior ‘White man hao regarded the American ‘Negro on the same ecale as that of the uncivilized Negro of the African eat And why? Simply because he fe @ Negro. Plainly speaking, the average white man sees the Negro ss an Inferior being, belloving him to be practically dumb; that he has to be driven, that he has no power of under- standing. A reckless and immoral creature, @ coward, « blockhead, who noeda the guardianship of the white man at all times and places, Many have even gope as far as to cay that the Negro was not created to equal the Intellect of bis white “aupericr.” ‘An article from the German philos- opher, Schopenhauer’s “Eseaye on the ‘Wisdom of Life” says: ‘Tt 1s anid that the most scclable of all people are the Negroes: and they are at the bottom of ‘Intellect’ ” ‘Think of that At the bottom of knowledge, understanding: in other words, IGNORANT. It le said that we can’t think, that we cannot understand. ‘That we are sociable, but irrespon- afble, Mr, Schopenhauer goes on to say: “1 remember reading once in a French paper, Le Commeres, October 19, 1837, that the blacks im North America, whether free or enslaved, are fond of abutting themselves up Io large num- bers in the smallest space, because they cannot have too much of each other's snub-nosed company.” ‘This probably means that the Negro would not trust himself with the com- pany of an individual person of his own race. This was eighty-five years ago, and the Negro is by far a different type than be was in those days.

The Negro Is about ready to match his intellectual power with that of the white man. The white man has learned that hie forefathers made a great mistake when they told him that he need not foar the Negros Intellect. I see, in years to come. the white man as he stands acknowiedg- ing the Negro, saying: “urely this man fe my equal in all things, and I can no longer hold him beneath me.” Then what must this white man do* Must he take up arms and try to drive off this powerful opposition? No, he will have to receive this new force and rospect him as he bimeelf wishes to be respected. ‘The Negro has a great fight ahead of him, and ft te best that he prepare him- salt.

DIVISIONS SAN GERONIMO DIVISION, NO.161. RISES FROM ITS SLUMBER AND HOLDS A PLEASANT SUNDAY EVENING Under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League, the San Geronimo Division has now risen from its slumber. This Division for almost two years has risen against great odds in attempting to succeed, but could not till, at last, headed by Mr. Samuel M. Wilburgh, it is about to achieve success. On October 15, a pleasant Sunday evening, a meeting was held in San Geronimo with the determination of installing officers. At 6.30 the doors were open and everything was in its splendor, and at 7 p.m. the chair greeted the audience with the singing of the opening song, "Welcome." The program was too long to be commented upon in full. All praise is due Mrs. Clementina Jamieson, Mrs. Clementina Dunkley and the Misses Wilburgh, who devoted their time to decorating the hall. The choir, headed by Mr. Chambera, a member of the Banes Division, must be congratulated for giving the people such satisfaction, and all praise is due Mrs. L Wilburgh, Miss Rachel R. Edwards, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. C. Jamieson, Mr. Aaron L. Edwards, Mr. Nathan Beckford, Mr John A. Jardine, Misses Wilburgh, Miss Hannah Austin and Miss Eugina Richmond for their efforts to bring the pleasant Sunday evening to such a success. The program was as follows Opening ode by the choir Prayers by the Chapelin Opening address by the President, who spoke very intelligently and clearly, so that the congregation within his radius could clearly understand why the U. N I A came about, and that he is determined under the leadership of the Hon Marcus Garvey, to struggle upward and onward until the banner of the Red, Black and Green is along- side those of the other races of the world.

During the time of the installation the flags were above the officers while the President, who is also acting Chapplain read out the charges to each and everyone and at the taking of their respects sense everyone stood on the rostrum and sang the National Anthem, and at that stage the meeting was brought to a close by the choir singing the hymn, "Good Night."

RUPERT CHRISTIAN Great interest has been stirred up in the Columbus Division with regard to the raising of funds to purchase a Liberty Hall Bunday, November 8, was scheduled as Rally Day. The Rev W. W. Renfro of the M E. Church at Hawthorne avenue was invited to presach at the 3 o'clock service. He preached a splendid practical sermon. He called upon the race to stop shouting in church services and do something to help the race. He explained that the Universal Negro Improvement Association was wrongly interpreted by many people and that he himself was wrongly informed about its alms and objects, but now that he had a better understanding of it he fully indored its principles and encouraged all to join hands together to make a success of the Negro race. The hall was comfortably filled and all felt that the day was a real success. We take this medium of thanking the reverend gentleman for his kind services and extend to him a cordial invitation to our meetings whenever he may have the time Sunday, October 28, was set for collecting on our Defense Fund. We did not raise as much as was expected, but the spirit exhibited by those present was encouraging. We took up $20 from No. 143 and $10 from the American addition chapter. These amounts have been sent in to the Secretary-General, and the names will appear in The Negro World. The city is in the throes of an election fever. The Negro voters are showing an independence as regards their choice of the right man irrespective of party that has caused consternation in the ranks of the Republican party That old custom of voting for the party and not the man is gone forever. The voters are looking, for results, and if the Democratic Party has men that will deliver the goods then by all means vote for those men. The truth is the Universal Negro Improvement Association has so stirred the Negro to a sense of his racial pride and his opportunity to do something for himself that he is wide awake, and will use the ballot to show the grand old party that he is not satisfied with its work of the past and will try the Democratic party, and if that party will not show results then it, too, will be turned down. That is the spirit in Columbus today. We are truly glad that this organization has been able to accomplish so much in this city, because on every hand you hear everyone speaking in loud praise of the work of this division in the capital city of Ohio. We invite all and sunday to join the 11 N. I. A., the premier organization for the uplift of the Negro race. "Dollar Day" Columbus Division Building Pond, Nov. 6, 1922 G R.

Panama Zena Bryant Small sums THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 AFRICAN SCHOLARS The Universal Negro Improvement Association sends forth the S. O. S. signal to 600,000,000 people of African descent. Prepare to inherit the land that God has given to your forefathers, for by so doing we will be able to rise to the full heights of our aspirations. We will know that life is worth the living, because we will be doing the greatest of all callings—preparing for our posterity the blessing of a fortified home, wherein we will be all-powerful to destroy the graft of modern time, and from here send forth the echoes of a new civilization—a civilization built on the principles of love and good-will toward all mankind. This signal has been resounded around the world. It is heard from the Arctic to the Antarctic, in cities and villages, in the field and the forest, on the hilltop and the mountain, by the wayside and the valley. The theme of this universal cause has been debated in the palaces of kings and leading men of thought to the huts of peasanta, tenants and serfs. It has drafted the thoughts of the wise from the baggar to the prince towards the change of evolution of this civilization. They know that the departure of the glowing sun brings on the darkness of the night and the dawn of another day. "Today a people begin to free themselves, tonight the axe is sharpened and tomorrow the tree is bent and these selfsame people will be leaders of a new civilization which will be corrupted on the pillars of Love, Liberty, Justice and Knowledge." The villains and the plunderers of liberty are amazed. Yes, their heads are on their bodies, but also, the imagination that visioned the aristocratical living, comfortable environments all brought about by the easy riches drawn from the watery brow of their black brothers, are shaken; it is blown into oblivion. The intrepid swindlers know the fact and today they are found cornered in an ocean of thought: pondering over the conquest of this powerful, subtle and mysterious force. "The higher aspiration of 400,000,000 people." The signal tremendous in scope, has caused all mankind to think in differences; some tremble with fear, some laugh to scorn, some ridicule with vanity, and others rejoice with pride. In the end the righteous must have the way, for the question is asked and answered; men who think seriously and consciously know that no forces, no power, "can sway the will of a people." Black men, yes, men of African descent, 400,000,000 of us, have declared that our home shall be free, and as we spoke, lol! we have pierced the darkness of despair—for, behold! there across the chasm lies the road to opportunity, success and prosperity, "because 400,000,000 people relied upon ourselves to do or to die." Twelve million square miles of territory belongs to us; it is rich in all the valuable resources that make men enjoy and content, as they learn how to work and rear it. Why should we be discouraged when we hear the name Africa? "Dear Africa, to you as you be loved and to you we will be true. Four hundred million of us have consoled declared that from now on we intend to live for thee, to work for thee and to die for thee, because in the bosom litch our salvation, our opportunity and our success. As we go out in the day and in the night in quest of knowledge we study thy want in history, science and art, finance, commerce, industry and religion, we pledge ourselves to our motto, "One God, one aim, one destiny." Before we were in darkness: now it is light. Jehovah, give us strength to carry on the noble task we have allotted ourselves. Well do we remember the dying words of Cardinal Wolsey of England when he said, "If I had served my God as I have served the King he would not have thrown me over in my gray hairs." Now that thousands of scholars of African descent are in quest of knowledge to rescue their home, the land of their foreparents and to rescue civilization, we hope that in the process of time, as we -have rendered our service to mankind and to the world and Thou hath seen fit to call us to the great beyond, we may repeat contentedly, Good God, thou hath given us the noble vision to prosecute with truthful knowledge the just and righteous cause of a suffering people, to stand up for the nobler principle of our country and our people, and since it has pleased Thee to call us in our gray hairs to a peaceful rest, "Thy will be done."

CINCINNATI GOES OVER THE TOP IN DRIVE FOR PRESIDENT GENERAL'S FUND CINCINNATI, O. Nov. 7.—The Cincinnati division has again given a concrete demonstration of its loyalty and devotion to our noble leader and the cause which he represents by just terminating its second successful defense fund drive for a grand total of $700. Unlike many places where the fervor has waned during the uncertainty of the President General's trial, the members of the Cincinnati division have merely been strengthened in their determination, and the little adversity which we are undergoing has served more as fuel to the fire of their purpose than as water to dampen their enthusiasm. Despite the heavy broadside of adverse propaganda which is being leveled against the organization in this city, the members' faith has remained unshaken, and every call from the local president, Mr. William Ware, for assistance to the division or the parent body has been answered with an eagerness on the part of the members that left no doubt as to the sincerity of their purpose Their intense loyalty to the cause is worthy of note, and there are several personal cases of sacrifice which deserve commendation. One case in particular is that of a woman member of the division, Mrs. Molly Stokes, an elderly widow who has never failed to respond to any call, and has led out the women of the division in this last drive with a donation of $10 on the defense fund. She has duplicated this performance in more than one instance, and for over a year has kept up the duties and assessments of five other members of her family aside from herself, despite the fact that she is only in moderate circumstances. Such members as these are a credit to any division and we are proud to boast of having quite a few, all of whom are not mentioned only because the lack of space prohibits. With a loyalty existing among the members such as has been manifested in the past, and with the continued labor of our worthy president and the implicit confidence which the people place in him, we are safe in saying that the Cincinnati division will never fail to take its place in the ranks with the other divisions and will not only do its part, but will be enough to make up for the delinquency in the less loyal divisions. Our motto "We intend to lead." is a scientific vegetable compound of hair root and Alno Oil, together with several other positive herbs, therefore making the most powerful harmless Hair Grower known, actually forcing hair to grow in most obstinate cases.

On Sunday, October 9, Dr. D. E. Thorpe, commissioner for Spanish Honduras and delegate to the third international convention, arrived in La Ceiba via New Orleans. The commissioner was given a hearty welcome by the officers and members of the La Ceiba Division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. He (the commissioner) remained with us for two days (Sunday and Monday), and during that time three mass meetings were held in our local Liberty Hall. At each of these meetings the commissioner gave a detailed report of the convention. The Monday night mass meeting was largely attended. Appropriate addresses were given by Messrs. R. P. Tucker, divisional president; L. A. L. Levy, N. Campbell and W. R. Carter. The commissioner, before continuing his report of the convention, briefly explained the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. He also made an appeal for new members. Thirteen persons caught the spirit of Garveyism, and became members of the La Ceiba Division. A social was given in confuze- NS tion with this mean meeting for the purpose of raising funds to help defray the commissioner's expense. The meeting came to a close at 10:30 p.m. everybody being highly pleased with the commissioner's report of the convention. We understand that Dr. Therpe is now commissioner for Spanish Honduran Guatemala and British Honduran. We congratulate him on his promotion. We believe that he is in the right place and will measure up to the requirements. On Tuesday morning at 1:30 o'clock the commissioner left by train for Tela, his headquarters. During the early part of this year the La Cobra Division passed through several fary ordnals. A propaganda was started by worthless and unappreciable Negotiations for the purpose of destroying the division, but these enemies of the U. N. L. A. were defeated at their own game. Our division was never so strong as it is today. We are also pleased to report the opening of a day school in connection with the La Cobra Division. Thank you! Yours for racial uplift. cortes, A. C.

NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION ARVEY, President-General Clothes at Little Cost La Cote Division, Charter No. 116. BY ORDER PICTURES OF PROF. J. J. ADAMS AND OTHER U. N. I. A. DELEGATES TO GENEVA APPEAR IN L'ILLUSTRE, A PARIS PAPER 8 (Special to The Negro World by the Wesley C. People's Press Service) BAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1.—October 16 issue of *Illustra*, a publication from Paris, France, has been received in this city by Mrs Louise Brown, general secretary of the San Francisco Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It contains the pictures of the delegates to the last session of the League of Nations recently held in Geneva. It will be recalled that at the last convention the association sent a delegation of four members to represent them at this session. Among this number was Prof. J J Adams, who is also president of the local division. His picture appears among the delegates. Copies of *Illustra* will be circulated among the local members as further proof that the association is carrying out a comprehensive program. Members of the local division are looking forward to the return of Prof Adams. Members of all local organizations eliciv and fraternal, have been invited to participate in a movement looking forward to the erection of a hall for the common use of all organizations. The movement was initiated by Golden Gate Lodge of the order of Odd Fellows. Nearly every organization was represented at the last meeting. Plans looking to the expenditure of approximately $50,000 for this purpose were initiated. Another general meeting will be held November 28. For the first time in the history of the new Civio Auditorium in this city it has been engaged by the members of the race for a monster entertainment and dance to be given by the Negro Progressive Club of California. This organization has secured this magnificent building for the first day of January, 1923, when they will present their stupendous and spectacular entertainment, "A Pageant of Race Progress." For this occasion an augmented orchestra has been procured and some of the best talent on the Pacific coast will participate on the program. His Honor James Wolph, Jr., will be invited to lead the grand march, and special invitations will be extended to the Honorable S. M. Shortridge and Hiram W. Johnson and the new Governor of the State of California. Some idea of the magnitude of the affair may be gained when it is remembered that this is the largest auditorium west of Chicago and in addition to having a seating capacity of 12,000 will permit dancing of 3,000 couples. All indications point to a gala time for the race January 1, 1923. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Grischof of 175 Andover street celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary this week. It certainly is a record these days of Paris and Reno when one man and one woman can live in the marriage state, lo, these many years. John W. Fowler, minister of labor and industry, was accorded a roaring reception on the eve of his departure for New York, where he will, in the future, make his home. Hundreds of citizens of the Bay region turned out to pay him a parting compliment of best wishes. Rev. J. M. Brown of the local A. M. B. Church took a new departure from the old order of things last Sunday night, when at the close of his services he advised his parishioners to begin to acquire a little more of the real estate of this city and country. Heavy buying of ranches and suburban lands in the San Joaquin and Sanamento Valleys has been reported to this service. Much of the land will be ultimately planted in grapes. That is as it should be when it is remembered that grapes are now selling around $128 to $150 per ton. Incidentally, it is worth remembering that one of the best ranches in the Sacramento Valley is now owned and run by people of color. Our next release will probably tell of the re-election of F. M. Roberts to the California State Legislature. He won his nomination hands down and looks to have easy calling in the final, despite the last minute entry of Jim Alexander. However, that is another story. RT. HON. RUDOLPH SMITH ELECTRIFIES A LARGE AUDIENCE IN LIBERTY HALL AT CLEVELAND, OHIO Mr. B. K. Crawford, acting president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of Cleveland Division No. 58, opened the meeting by singing "From Greatest'ds Icy Mountain," followed by prayer of the organization. Mr. G. H. Gilleppe and Rev. McGavock proceeded the Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, who was the main speaker of the occasion. With some very inspiring remarks Rev. McGavock pointed out the despair of religion in our daily lives as well as in the organization. Mr. B. K. Crawford, in presenting the Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, said there was I was badly ruptured while lifting my arm and they are pain. Doctors said my arm hurt because I was framed. Frames did no me good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never removed, although I am doing hard work in my job. There was no operation to be done, but will give full information about how you may and can complete surgery without operation. If you wish to see me, please Dr. Pullen, Carnegie Hospital, Mercersia A., Manassas, VA. I better ask and this option is the way, officers who are in charge of the surgery do surgery and ensure the safety of the surgery and nothing big enough with which to compare the gentleman he was about to introduce, so would simply say that he was a man of sterling character and worth. The Hon. Rudolph E. Smith arose to a very cheerful greeting, and began as follows: 'I am indeed glad to speak to you again on matters concerning this race of ours, to which I am always willing to contribute whatever I can to make it a successful one. This organization with which we are connected has spread over the entire earth, and the name of the Hon. Marcus Garvey is on every longue. He came on the acense at the most crucial time of our existence and spread the propaganda of equality and justice to all. Through jealousy and prejudice other so-called 'Negro uplift organizations' launched an attack against this movement, and all manner of untrue things are said about the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the 'Back to Africa Movement' as they call it, and that it was the intention of this organization to launch ships to carry out its program of a great exodus to Africa. The intention of this movement is to connect the Negroes of the world, so that they may be able to co-operate with one another and build for themselves factories and other forms of industry, so that Negro boys and girls will have a place to go when they leave the different universities and colleges, and not have to be domestic servants to the other fellow. This movement has made it possible that Negroes be represented at the League of Nations, and so lay the claim of 400,000,000 Negroes before the nations of the world. We are not attempting to establish a government within a government, as has been said, but to establish a government in certain parts of Africa co-operating with the other governments there. The struggle is a serious one. Many who started at the beginning have lost heart because of the exploitation of the organization by some unscrupulous officers who meant the organization no good at the start. But you have started something that you cannot stop, and this is the time, if ever there was one to take up the yoke and go on. "The commercial and political purpose of this organization may take years and years before it be put over, but it is going to put over if I have to be reincarnated in another generation and help put it over. It is only through constant agitation that we will be able to get anywhere with this thing. Wilson's policy of self-determination and democracy was taken up by the Chinese, the Indians and other European and Oriental colonies. Then we hear of the renewal of Ireland's fight for freedom, of Egypt, of India, and many other nations fighting for their freedom. Ireland's was achieved through a long and bitter struggle, continued agitation, and great sacrifice. We have organized in the democratic principle, upon which this country is founded, and all other people in this fight for freedom have been indorsed, we, too, under the leadership of Hon. Marous Garvey, the founder of this movement, will fight our way to recognition. "I am not connected with this movement for fame or personal aggrandishment, and should anything happen that I may have to step down. I will not fight the movement as others have done, for I know that I will be only fighting myself. I am not here to make friends, neither am I looking for praise, I am here to spread the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for I cannot tolerate the idea of all races of men free or under some sort of government that offer them protection and Negroes still drift in sardom and servitude. My feelings are hurt through some rumor that has floated around, still that is neither here nor there with me, for my conscience is clear. These are the things that hurt your division. Those people are trying to spread a propaganda among you, so beware of the wolves in sheep's clothing. I hold malice against no man, and I don't believe in fighting, but if you want to see how much fight I can put up, touch my character; I am determined to protect same, because I have a future; I believe in my own brother on a matter of principle and justice. If I don't do the right thing by you, make me step down, and when that time comes, I will do so with the dignity of a Lloyd George or a Baron Kate. Gossip spreads and grows as it speeds on its destructive mission, so please be honest when you have a cause to mention anything pertaining to the U. N. I. A. I can see nothing but the Universal Negro Improvement Association before me at all times, and my rights henceforth shall be for its progress, regardless of what may happen. Some of us may be placed behind the bara, or perhaps assassinated, but it matters not, for there are little Garveyites born every minute. Now is the time that you must so live your life that all in the community will say there must be something in this movement after all. Let all join in now and with one concerted effort fight for the success of the U. N. I. A. and ultimate redemption of Africa." I decrete to say a few words on the efforts of Mr. George F. Bawlins of the Mantinga Division. I am, very much pleased with the keen interest taken by that gentleman's things relative to the help, protection and advancement of the members of his office.

Whenever an opportunity presents itself Mr. Rawlins is to be found on the job doing whatever he can in the interest of his people. It is in such a way that we hope to achieve success. I observed with pleasure the part taken by this hard-working and progressive Negro in the case of Miss Jane Ann Campbell, whose arrest for manslaughter appeared in the issue of The Negro World of October 11. May Mr Rawlins be further encouraged to use all his efforts, physically and mentally, to help obtain the liberation of the unfortunate young lady. Much sympathy is extended to Miss Campbell and the hope is entertained that by the assistance of the acting British vice-consul her freedom will be secured. May the other gentlemen who went on the delegation with Mr Rawlins also be encouraged to do what they can in this instance to help an unfortunate woman in her troubles, and not that only, but to do always whatever they can for the benefit of individuals of this our downtrodden race. I remember the noble work done by Mr. Rowlins in organizing the Santiago Division, and sincerely hope that the spirit of brotherly love and general usefulness to Negroes be kept up continually in the division to do such work as it has done in Miss Campbell's case. I have been personally acquainted with Mr. Rowlins for many years and feel that a word of praise is rightly due to him for all he has done and, I believe, is still willing to do to help make this world a fit place for Negroes to live in. Yours for Negro progress. WILLIAM G. NELSON. Treasurer Caryo Mambi Division. November 6, 1932. FOUL MURDER OF A MEMBER OF THE SPANISH HONDURAS, TELA DIV FOUL MURDER OF A MEMBER OF THE SPANISH HONDURAS, TELA DIV --- The calm and serene atmosphere which swept over the colored population of Tela from Oropedalos to Progreso was suddenly turned to sorrow and confusion when the news flashed across on Saturday, September 16, that Brother Harry Brown, a staunch and loyal member of the Tela Division, was brutally murdered by a native Spanaird who claimed to have been a friend to him. The deceased was engaged in taking medicines and other useful articles to the homes of those who were unable to procure same, when he met his fate. Report goes to say that on the day prior to his death, he sold some medicines to a native and his supposed murderer was present and saw him extract from his purse and made change. Casting an Ahab's eye on him, said "Mr. Brown Usted tiene much plato" (Mr. Brown you have much money) It was also reported that they occupied the same house that night, and the Spanaird was heard to ask him when he would leave for Tela, and what route he was take. After having got the needed information he promised to await him by the way. It is further stated that the murderer disappeared very early Saturday and aid in ambuscade for him. As the unfortunate brother was wending his way to Tela this devil in human form moved staunchly from his lair and dealt him two merciless wounds—one in the face, which laid open the head, and the other one on the shoulders. Thinking that he made sure the money, he grabbed the medicine case and the rain coat and made good his escape. No sooner was the tragedy made known than the manager of the farm and his friends took charge of the remains and his belongings, reported same and made the necessary arrangements for the conveying of the dead body in to Tela, where the last respect must be paid to one who had been a friend to one and all. With unimaginable difficulties the huge dead body was carried from the interior along a footpath where it is impossible for two to pass over, and over deep and surging streams till the railroads could be reached, where a motor car, kindly given by the Tela Railroad Company, with some of his friends awaited their arrival. Everything being made ready, at 4.10 p. m. on Sunday, October 17, a large gathering assembled at Samaritan Hall to pay its last tribute to a man whom they loved and adored.

A. represented by the chaplains and Black Cross Nurses and the divisional banner, members of the Rising Star Lodge of Tela B. I. O. G. of B. and D. of S., all wearing the insignia of the various organizations, other mourners. The funeral ceremony was conducted in part by Chaplain Brown, as the deceased was a member of that division, and by the executive officers of Loyal Progress. During the ceremony a letter of condolence was read from the Rising Star Lodge of Tela, as was also a document stating the place he held in his lodge. As the green leaves were thrown on the mortal remains many a tear was shed for the loss of one who occupied a cherished spot in the hearts of all who knew him. The ceremony was solemn and imposing and left a lasting memory in the minds of all who witnessed or took part in it. The deceased was true to his colors as a stanch Garveyite. He fought many successful battles for Garveyism and in death it is preached. After a period of a month's suspension, which was caused by the holding of other functions in the hall and the death of Brother Harry Brown, which is reported in another column of this paper, we resumed our mass meeting on Sunday, October 1, at 3 p.m. According to previous arrangements, Chaplain Brown conducted a memorial service on behalf of the deceased brother, when he delivered a masterpiece address from St. John, 11 25 In his address the chaplain referred to the life of usefulness the brother led in this community, as well as how much he was respected by all who came in contact with him, and encouraged all his hearers to so live. Another pleasing feature marked the proceedings of the afternoon. Prior to the suspension of our mass meeting as was above mentioned, Mr E. M Stewart, the acting president, arranged for the reorganization of the Black Cross Unit when the following persons enrolled their names Mrs. Ann Engleton, Mrs. A. Wray, Mrs. S. Johnson, Mrs. Christanna Reid, Misses Ethel Bennett, Adeline Griffith, A. Alvanza, Dorothy McLean and Lena Miller Being present, these ladies were asked to come forward to receive the cath which was given by Chaplain Brown, when he further pointed a career of usefulness before them, not forgetting to remind them that it is one of self-sacrifice and self-denial. He closed his address by emphasizing on the necessity of their living up to a certain standard of respectability which will in turn command the respect of all. At the close Mr Stewart in a neat address, asked the newly installed nurses to live in unity, as on this hangs the success of all organizations. Nurse Engleton expressed herself as being very happy to be again placed in the harness, when she will be of use to suffering humanity, especially to those of her own race. Nurse Johnson, rendered a solo. "I Must Have the Saviour With Me." The general secretary was next called, when he eulogized on the work of the delegation to the League of Nations, and solicited financial help according to the request of the President-General Mr R. Bort, second assistant secretary, led the minds of his hearers on "Preparedness," and the evening's function was brought to a close when all rose and sang heartily the Ethiopian National Anthem. All left feeling pleased of a well-spent evening Mr G M Simpson, our chairmaster, led the musical part. He has the work at heart, and is always willing to do his bit. F A. VERNAL.

The fight was scheduled for December 7 and was the cutcome of the recent Beckett-Moran bout, where- at it was arranged that Siki should fight the winner.

For quite a while enemies of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been working for the purpose of turning public sentiment against Mr. Garvey. Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr. Garvey. They have organized opposition meetings in different centers under the caption, "Garvey Must Go!"

Blodgett HAMPTON Va Nov 13—Young and ambitious Negro farmers who have not the time nor the money to take a full school course but who wish to receive more training in scientific methods of farming so as to be able to make a better living on the land, may soon take the three-month agricultural short course at Hampton Institute, for which no tuition and no entrance examination are required. Warren K. Blodgett, director of the Hampton Institute Agricultural School, states that this course will open on December 4, although students must register by December 1 "Anyone," says Director Blodgett, "who has attended the elementary school and can read, write and do a little figuring is eligible. He will be given one cultural subject, such as English, and the two agricultural subjects this year will probably be horticulture and poultry, and possibly farm crops. "We have two men coming to Hampton Institute from Penn School on St Helena Island, B. C. They will come because they won scholarships which will pay their expenses for having had the best farm projects during last year "The facilities and instructors that are available for Hampton's collegiate work in agriculture will be utilized for the short coursemen, who during three months will become part of the Institute life." According to the Hampton Institute catalogue announcement, the total living expenses will probably amount for the three months to $65 or $75. Each student will be given a certificate indicating his attendance and the studies which he has creditably pursued. Look Out for the Appearance Monthly "The B Edited by Marcus Garvey, Sir V.

November 6. — Victor Chandler, colored, plucky sub of the Peabody High School football team, who had reported for practice every day during the past season, was turned away from the banquet given at the Peabody City Hall Saturday night for the Charleston, B. C., High School football players. After a secret meeting held by the members of the Peabody citizen's committee and officials of the Charleston football party Chandler was informed that the Southerners objected to his presence at the banquet. The Southerners refused to sit at the table with Chandler or have him in the hall with them, so he was turned away. The players of the Peabody High School and the hundreds of citizens who packed the hall were ignorant of the action taken by the committee. While they were enjoying the festivities Chandler who is a well-educated young man and who has assisted the Peabody High School team during the past month, left the hall with his cap under his arm, with tears in his eyes, and made his way to his home in South Peabody It was rumored around Peabody Square yesterday afternoon that members of the football squad would start action at once protesting the action taken and request an apology from the Southern officials for objecting to having their colleague, Chandler, enjoy the banquet and entertainment after he had plugged through the season, working hard at all times for the best interests of the Peabody High School team. After the game Saturday Dr Marrero of the school committee presented Chandler with a ticket to the banquet At the City Hall, Chandler was approached by W. T. Woodman, principal of the high school, who told Chandler Superintendent Robinson wanted him. Chandler went to the office of Superintendent Robinson and there he was told that the Southernmen had had and refused to eat in the same hall with a Negro—The New Bedford (Maine) Evening Standard, November 6.

Nuestro Puesto en el Reajuste Econémico de Ins Neciongs —En In Normalidad de! Universo Aparece el Destino de Nuestra Raza—Uno Raza que Seré Forzada a Perecer—Los Desperdicios que in Consumen— Necesidad Imperiosa de Direccién Eficiente La paz universal se vi, ocho afios ha, perturbada rudamente por el clamor de guerra en Europa EJ san- gfiento conflicto que sobrevino afecto a la humantdad entera con un espiritu de excitacién militar. Hombres, razas y naciones fueron Ilamados en todas direcciones para tomar parte en la terrible contienda. | El sistema industrial de! universo sufrié en aque! funesto perfodo una desorganizacion general, subsananduse ste al poco tiempo con la apertura de centenares de indus- trins de guerra, fibricas y otras plantas, las cuales se vieron obligadas a adquirir el servicio activo de hombres y mujeres sin ocupacion, quienes fueron arrojados a la calle por los potentados industriales, durante la é¢poca de paz. En Ia demanda de hombres y mujeres para cubrir las plazas vacantes en e! mundo industrial, millones de hombres y mujeres de nuestra raza fueron requeridos para que prestaran su cooperacién. Estos, anteriormente despreciados, fueron luego bienvenidos en todas partes. Bajo condiciones normales, nuestra raza ocupa un puesto de muy poca 6 ninguna lucritud en la vida industrial y econémica de las naciones. Este ha sido seleccionado de modo tal, que impide al Negro el ocupar un puesto de responsabilidad, le dificulta para obtener empleo lucra- tivo en las empresas manufactureras. Ante esta actitud y con anticipacién al perfodo en referencia, millones de elementos de nuestra raza fueron sometidos a una crisis de trabajo embarasosa, con muy pocas esperanzas de mejorar tal condicién en el futuro. | Eleterno plan de la raza blanca ha sido cerrar gradual mente al Negro Ja entrada de esas aventdas de progreso y seguridad econémica, forz4ndole a perecer por falta de labor que le facilite el ganar su subsistencia. Este plan fue puesto en prdctica generalmente en Norte America y de no haber sido por los nueve aftos de reajuste indus- trial, nuestra raza en este lado del Atlantico, hubiera corrido la misma suerte de hambre y desesperacién que han sufrido los habitantes de la India. Esta parte de la humanidad sometida por la otra a perecer, se vi6 de pronto, por motivo de las circunstancias, en una nueva era de prosperidad. Millones de elementos de nuestra raza se colocaron en posicién opulenta. Estas nuevas oportunidades duraron por un s6lido perfodo de cuatro aflos, durante el cual nuestra raza entera economiz6 muy poco 6 tal vez nada. Mientras los elementos de otras razas ponian a un lado parte de los beneficios obtenidos por medio de su labor, veiamos al Negro en muchas de las principales ciudades americanas derrochando con- tinuamente. | Con ecepcién del elemento que constituye nuestra organizacion, nadie pensé en el maftana. Tanto los que se precian de intelectuales como la masa inconciente, todos perdieron el sentido. Los directcre de la comunidad y de Ia nacién se vanagloriaban en el ..as alto costo posible de subsistencia. En una interm'nable procesién de orga, marchaban todos por la avenida de un derroche nacional, | Notamos actualmente que el universo regresa de nuevo a su estado normal y las comunidades de otras razas se abren paso en el camino de su vida propia. Vivimos indudablemente en una época en que solamente los aptos han de subsistir; cuando aquellos suficientemente pre- Parados solamente podran luchar en contra de los rigores de una civilizacién sin sentimiento. Desgraciadamente el Negro no. ha dado aun su paso de avance, sino que arrodillado en el altar de la simpatia y de la caridad publica, espera, como los israelitas, el mané del cielo, sin darse cuenta de que la humanidad no freconoce por mas tiempo la pratica de estas dos antiguas virtudes. El hombre no piensa ya en simpatia y caridad para su semejante; existimos en una edad cuando cada cual tiene que velar por y para si. ' Realizando la seriedad de esta condicién, la Asocia- cién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra desde el periodo de guerra hasta el presente, ha venido luchando por despertar las conciencias dormidas de los millones de miembros que componen nuestra raza, pero tal parece que la semilla de la esperanza ha caido en terreno poco fértil. No solamente en esta parte del globo sino universalmente, el Negro ha reusado escuchar Ia voz de alerta que én todas| direcciones le dice: predrate, preparate, prepdrate.
