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

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.

Night, Nov. 12.—A musical program of
rare excellence, a large and enthusiastic
audience, instructive and inspiring
speeches, all these contributed toward
making tonight's meeting at Liberty
Hall one of great success, and
which will be long remembered
those who availed themselves
opportunity to be present at
the great work which the
Negro Improvement Association
ducing in promoting the race, and urging Negroes
position where they will come to be
dependent on other races, but where
they will realize that it is entirely up
to themselves to carve their own destiny and make of themselves a free and independent people, with a country of
their own that will command the respect and admiration of the world.
No other organization in the country or in the world is doing more to instill race consciousness into the minds of the people and arouse them to a consciousness of their latent possibilities than the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing for the Negro race, and those who fall within the pals of the organization are convinced more and more every day of the practicability of the program, and the certainty that in the not-far-distant future the goal of the association will be accomplished.
Speaking on the subject, "The International Attitude Towards the Negro." Hon. Marcus Garvey in a forceful, well-reasoned address, pointed out the real attitude of the Anglo-Saxon towards the Negro, whether he (the Anglo-Saxon) be an Englishman, an American, a Frenchman, an Italian or else. His attitude toward the Negro from a racial standpoint was that he was a superior and the Negro an inferior being, and that as such it was his determination to maintain that status and deprive the Negro of every opportunity, whereby he might strive to reach a position of equality. Mr. Garvey used as an illustration the case of Siki, the Senegalese pugilist, who recently defeated Carpenter, the idol of Europe, and won the light heavyweight championship of Europe, but who since that time has been deprived of the honor and laurels which he fought for and won, through trickery on the part of white men in their desire honor which will tend to give him a feeling of superiority over or equality with the white man. In the point Mr. Garvey said, bore out the preachings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association ever since its inception that the attitude of other people towards us was not only domestic, but was international. That there was absolutely 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 a condition of serfdom and peonage. There is a set position, he said, for the Negro, not only in America, but all over the white world, and any man who fatters himself to believe that his position is one of equality, depending upon conditions as they are, has a false opinion and a false idea of life. The only position of equality is that position that you create for yourself, Mr. Garvey concluded by saying that the Siki affair had disclosed the attitude of the Englishman and the Frenchman towards the Negro. It was now an open book, and it was for us to decide what our attitude should be.
The other speakers were Hon. R. L. Foston, Prof. William H. Furry, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and Hon. T. W. Anderson, all of whom delivered inspiring speeches which touched a responsive chord in the hearts of the audience that gave expression in enthusiastic applause. Some of the most pointed expressions made by Prof. Ferris were these: The only way the Negro can make himself respected and change his status from a despised race to an admired race is by his cumulative achievements and the dynamic force that he can exercise in the world. We have shown the world in the recent world war and in the Civil War how the black man can fight. The thing for us to do now is to train our minds as we have trained our arms and muscles and sinews and battle with the European and the American in the industrial, commercial, economic, political, and adjunctive field. It rests with the black man, upon his brain power and muscle power and will power as to whether he will go up or whether he will go down.

MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH
MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH
with Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: My subject for tonight is "The International Attitude Toward the Negro." Prof. Ferris touched on a very significant and important matter which I spoke on myself this afternoon—about the banning of Biki not only in France but in England. I am myself not interested in prize-fighting and probably if it were for me there would be very little collecting at the ring or at the door where the fight is on; so I am not interested in Biki from the pugilistic viewpoint, but I am interested in him from the racial viewpoint. Things that confirm the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are things that we should draw your attention to as they do occur.
The Attitude of Other People Towards the Negro
We have been preaching through our entire existence the attitude of the other people towards us and stating that attitude was not only domestic, but that attitude was international, and those who believed in our viewpoint joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Those who do not believe in our viewpoint keep out of the association and indulge in severe criticism of the movement. We have often heard even among ourselves that the English are more kindly disposed toward the Negro than the Americans and that the French are more liberal to the Negro than the English. We have heard that all over the world that the English people are better in dealing with the Negro than the American people, but we have always held to the opinion that there was absolutely no difference between the Englishman and the Frenchman and the American when it comes to the race. That has been always our attitude and those of you who have followed me in my speaches long enough and have taken note of all that I have said will recall years ago when I said that the attitude of France toward the Negro as against the American is simply because the French do not come in direct contact with the situation as the American does and also the English do not come in contact with the situation as the American does, and that only accounts for the difference as against the attitude of the American. If you would transport 12,000,000 Negroes from America to England you would have the same lynching and burning in places like London and Manchester as we have in Texas and Georgia and Mississippi and Alabama, and if we would transport them to France we would have lynching and burning in places like Paris and Bordeaux as we have in the States of the United States of America I have mentioned, and more and more as the Negro comes in direct contact with European civilization we are getting to realize the truth of that statement made by us years ago. The truth of that belief has driven us into close association and kinship in the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
As to 81kl
Now what of the matter of Skitt? It happened that a few weeks ago a black man from Senegal was brought in a jugistic combat with a white man from France by the name of Carpentier. Carpentier was then regarded as the light-heavyweight champion of Europe, and there was very little belief that Carpentier would have lost out to this black man from Senegal, because he was not properly trained, and they did not believe he could whip this white man. They thought this white man would have had an easy time, and for the sake of making money some of the promoters of the ring got this black Senegalense to sign up with Carpentier, believing that Carpentier would have an easy walkover. It happened to the contrary. This black man knocked out Carpentier and knocked him out hopelessly (applause), and then after the knocking out was done France found out her mistake. They promoted the game for what was in the game, and everybody because of the reputation of Carpentier thought that Carpentier would have come out the victor. But the thing turned the other way, and then France suddenly saw her mistake—that a black man

was allowed to knock out a white man in Europe and in a country that held millions of black men as slaves and as serfs. The psychology of the thing was that France allowed a black man from Africa—a man who was not regarded as a full man—a man who was not regarded as being entitled to any consideration at all, a man whom they said 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 Psychology of the Affair
The Psychology of the Affair
It was not as much the fight between the two men, but it was the psychology of having a white man down and a black man up looking in his face after knocking him down. Then all of a 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 she never would allow a black man to knock out a white man for the championship of anything, and that is why in America she had such a hard time in getting a match between Wills and Dampsey. 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 wores crimes against society. It was not that Johnson had so much outraged society, because he had not outraged society more than Rev. Hall (applauses), but Jack Johnson had committed a crime of knocking out a white man and winning the heavyweight championship of the world. They had to find some excuse to get rid of Johnson to restore the championship to the white man, because they could not allow a Negro to hold such an honor, as it would make the Negro realize that he is really a man. You know no monkey can knock down a man. (Laughter.) It takes a man to knock down a man, and it does not only take a man but it takes a superior man to knock down a man. (Applauses.) So when Johnson knocked them out he had declared for the superiority physically of the Negro race. They could not afford that; they could not allow that.
Well, America had her lesson, and she decided that it would not happen again, 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, so 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 said that she would not allow a black man another chance to knock out a white man; but France had not the lesson, so some adventurer—just as some adventurer organized the Johnson bout which caused him to become the heavyweight champion of the world—organised this light-heavyweight bout between Sikti and Carpentier, and France did not concern herself about it because she had not the experience of America. But the same thing happened in France as happened in America—the black man by his physical prowess and superiority knocked out the white man, and then France found out the same mistake that America did.
Then France sought ways and means of getting rid of Sikh. I knew it would come. When I heard of Sikh's victory and how he was visiting the cabarets in France, I knew his doom was at hand. That is the white man's way of getting rid of the Negro. They dissipated Sikh; they got him drunk and they created an environment by which they could trap him and he fell into it, and the championship that he won and should have maintained, by the plot that they laid for him, they have taken away, just as they have taken it away from Jack Johnson, so that he will never have the chance of fighting anybody as the light-heavyweight champion of Europe; so that the championship will go back to white men, just as the heavyweight championship of the world has gone back to white men.
France's Attitude Toward the Negro
And that is France's attitude—
France that loves the Negro so. When
France found out her mistake, she
played the dirty game of tricking Siki.
I do not doubt that Siki was drunk
when he knocked that manager down,
and they tricked him so as to get him
to do the thing he did so as to get the
opportunity of taking away from him
the laurels he had won for his race.
No Personal Regard for Siki!
Personally I do not give a snap of
my fingers for Siki because to me Siki
has lost his pride of race. Any black
man who will go out of his way to
marry a white woman is a Negro I do
not want to see at all. (Applause.)
I am interested in Siki not because of
Siki himself, but because of the race
of which he is a member and could not
get away from even though, he has
offered $54,000 if he could change his
election.
However, France's treatment of Siki
reveals that the racial attitude of France is no different from the racial attitude of America so far as the black man is concerned. The black race must be kept down in an inferior position. We all knew that it was the attitude of America, but some of us did not believe it was the attitude of France. Now you have it open before you. It is as much the attitude of France as it is of America and as it is of England. Before they took away the championship from Bikli, his manager, so as to make more money, arranged a bout with Beckett, an Englishman for the maintenance of the championship that he had won. The bout was arranged, and let me say that up to that time there was no government regulation in England to prevent black men from fighting white men, but when the English government saw that the same thing would repeat itself in England, they immediately called a conference among themselves and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs (I think) stepped right in and interfered with the arrangements and they made a law that the fight could not come off and the reason was because they had black subjects in their colonies, and if Bikli 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 means this: That there is a set position for the Negro not only in America, but all over the white world, and any man who flatters himself to believe that his position is one of equality depending upon conditions as they are has a false opinion and a false idea of life. The only position you can keep on equality is that position that you create for yourself, and that brings me back to what I said this afternoon as to how misguided some of our leaders are, believing in the professed friendship of the white man.
A Mlinterpretation
Now when I talk about the white man some people misinterpret me and try to make capital out of it to create prejudice against me on the part of the white man. They say I hate the white man. I do not hate the white man, but I do not love anybody better than I love myself. I have to speak of the white man because he is the fellow that this race has to knock up against for its futuro or present condition. And when I speak of the white man I speak of him in respect because I respect him, because if I were white I would do just what he is doing—keep Negroes down; keep everybody down. So I am not blaming him for doing it. I blame the fool who will allow himself to be kept down, and since I am not one of those being kept down the fellow who is keeping me down must be eternally vigilant—he must be always watching because as soon as he turns his back I am going to knock him down. So that when I talk of the white man I do not talk in the spirit of hate. I do not want to encourage the spirit of hate. I love the white man just as much as he loves me. I respect him for his power because power. You cannot separate them. The fellow who is strong can maintain his equilibrium and maintain his stand anywhere, but the fellow who is weak is at the mercy of everybody who passes by. So that if this white man is strong and we know it we have to respect him and we know it we have to share your happiness. So that any man who expects that the white man is going to admit him into his sanctum of happiness and satisfaction makes a big mistake. There is no white man in the world, whether he is the Pope of Rome or the Archbishop of Canterbury, who loves anybody else better than he loves himself or his race, and when it comes down to a question of who shall enjoy or who shall benefit, surely he is going to decide on his own kind. So when we flatter ourselves in America—a large number of us do so as leaders—that the white man is going to be kind to us and help us to become a better people and more prosperous, we are making a tremendous mistake. If we have thought that this man is going to be more considerate of our interests we are making a tremendous mistake because here we have his attitude—an attitude that he must maintain a position of supremacy and dominance—and so long as you assist him in that position he is your friend. When you attempt to draw the line in your own interest you are an enemy to society.
Now, who are the worst Negroes in America? The worst Negroes in America are those who believe that the Negro should fight for himself and do for himself and be independent of the white man. Why? Because such a Negro threatens the supremacy of the white man. But he is the best Negro
in America or anywhere else who is willing always to take off his hat and bow before Massa George. That is why Gaivey is a bad man and shall be a bad man always, because he is not going to take off his hat and bow and scrape before anybody. I prefer to die than to apologize or compromise for anything where my race is concerned. That is my attitude, and the world knows it. I refuse to bow to any one else but the Christ. I refuse to bow to any other power in the world but the Almighty Architect, the Creator of mankind. When it comes to man, you could be as white as snow or as black as night, if you expect me to go on the knee you are wrong in your judgment, because I am not going to do it, and the Negro who takes such a stand is a dangerous character and a dangerous member of society. But that is the only thing that will lift a people out of the condition of serfdom and peonage to a position of liberty, freedom and the enjoyment of human rights. If we must go the way, we must go it as men. If we must continue the course of freedom and liberty we must make up our minds as the martyrs and heroes of old who have led the people on to the brighter day of freedom and liberty Marcus Garvey has no apology to make to man on earth. I do not care where he comes from, let him be British, French, American, because Marcus Garvey is very much grieved at the condition of this race of mine, and the only regret that Marcus Garvey has now that he was not born in the days of slavery, when he would have taken up the sword like Toussaint Iouverture to free myself out of a slavery that I did not bring upon myself. Since I was not born in that age, and born in another age, I am going to give some kind of trouble to those who brought me away from my country against my will, and the best thing they can do is to make arrangements to take me back from whence they brought me (Applause). We have now the attitude of England, we have the attitude of France, we have now the attitude of America. Now it is an open book, and it is for you to decide what your attitude shall be. (Applause.)
PROF EFRBI8 SPEAK8
Prof William H Ferris spoke as follows: This afternoon I had the pleasure of taking dinner with Rev Dr Moses, and Prof. Aggrey of Livingstone College was there. He is a native African who is a post, a philosopher and sociologist. He was down on the Gold Coast and in South Africa when we were attracting the attention of all parts of the world, and he said that when he spoke at one place in South Africa the Africans thought he was a representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and came with their spears and guns prepared to fight. He said that all through South Africa and the Gold Coast he heard the name of Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association and that it had impressed the governments of Europe as no other Negro movement has.
Heretofore the Negroes had talked a great deal about praying, but when the Universal Negro Improvement Association was organized they talked about fighting, and though they did not do any fighting, the fact that they talked about fighting caused the world to sit up and take notice.
A Great Difference
The difference between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and other Negro movements is this: As far as I can observe; all the Negro movements which have started in this country have usually begun with the open palm and with hat in hand. Preachers, educators, politicians and those in charge of work for the dumb, blind and orphans and old people went with hat in hand to the philanthropist asking for help for some good work that they were going to do among their people or saying that they controlled so many votes which they would swing for them.

idealistic age but we are living in a very practical and very materialistic age.
Money, Power and Pleasure
We are living in an age when men value three things money power and pleasure. When I was a boy they used to go to church on Sundays. Now most of them go to baseball games and play golf and tennis and go on automobile rides. There was a time when on Sunday nights you saw people flocking to the churches, now you see them going to the moving picture theatres.
A Materialistic Age
We are living in a materialistic age, when men are thinking mostly of making money and spending it, that being the case the race that has industrial force, the race that has economic power the race that can mobilize and hurt its dollars, as the Jewish race does, that is the race that is attracting the attention and winning recognition.
Siki Deprived of the Championship
I see Sikl has been deprived of the championship by the French Boxing Federation. They did it because they claim that he lost his temper and knocked down the manager of a man he was seconding, and then the British home office, in sending out its statement that would bar a match between Beckett and Sikl, claimed that they had so many Africans and black people in their colonies that they were afraid that if Sikl came to England and whipped Beckett it would cause the African to realize his might and possibilities. They seem to feel that once the black race becomes conscious of its superior mental and moral and physician powers it will rise and Britain cannot hold it down. The example of Rome and all the empires of the east has taught the world that you cannot hold a people down by oppressing them. If Great Britain would pursue the same policy toward her colonies that Rome did, which made Roman citizens of them and enrolled them in her armies, Britain would not need to rise the rise of the black race. But it is when Britain tries to hold the heavy hand over the black race and try to keep the race in subjection, then it is also begins to fear.
Time to Pray to Ourselves
We have tried every means to get out of our present condition. We have prayed to the Lord, we have prayed to the white man and now it is time for us to pray to ourselves. (Applause) There has never been an example in history when any race which was at the bottom of the indier was taken on the shoulder of another race and lifted to the top. The only way the black race can get its place in the sun is by the force—physical, mental, moral, industrial and economic—necessary to put it there and to hold it there. (Applause) The only way the Negro can himself respected and change his status from a deprised race to an admired race is by his cumulative achievements and the dynamic force that he can exercise in the world. We have shown the world in the recent World War, in the Civil War, how the black man could fight. The thing for us to do now is to train our minds as we have trained our arms and muscles and sinews and battle with the European and the American in the industrial, commercial, economic, political and scientific neid. When the African masters modern science and industry and commerce and economics, when he masters metallurgy and the science of mining and becomes an engineer, no force can stop him. In the shake-up among men and nations we find after two or three centuries that some races go higher and others go lower. It rests with the black man, upon his brain power and muscle power and will power, as to whether he will go up or whether he will go down.
Mandicapped by Color
We have been handicapped heretofore by our color. We have so worshipped everything blonde that we did not believe that a black man could accomplish anything great. We have been absorbed with the whiteocracy that was preached to us from the pulpit and taught in the schools, and have believed that the color of a man's skin is the index to the possibilities of the race, and because of that black men have not taken off their coats and rolled up their sleeves and put forth their very utmost; but through the Universal Negro Improvement Association the doctrine is being disseminated all over the white world that what other men have accomplished black men can accomplish, and, with this faith, this enthusiasm and believing in his own divine origin and divine destiny I hope to live to see in the twentieth century the Negro striving forward so rapidly that, like the Japanese, he will be among the peoples to be reckoned with. (Applause.)

tonight showing your interest in this wonderful movement of the Negro peoples of the world—a movement that has astounded the world, a movement that has made governments think and change their policies, because the Negro has grown to be a factor in world affairs.
Yesterday we celebrated Armistice Day, and, as Brisbane said, there was an earthquake in Chill, showing that things were not at peace—at least nature was not at peace. A prophetic happening, indeed, because, after all, the world is not at peace. Turkey is demanding her rights and backing her demands up by fighting for them. And that is what the Negro eventually will have to do—not only demand, but fight for, our rights (applause)—fight with every energy that is in us, fight with every drop of blood at our command, fight for our homeland, Africa, to wrench it from the Anglo-Saxon's hands. (Renewed applause.)
Being Trained for the Fight
And so under the leadership of Marvin Garvey we are be ing trained for that fight, and let us go onward and upward hoping to celebrate Armlistice Day some day in Africa. (Applause.) We are going forward not exactly by leaps and bounds, but we are going steadily forward towards the great goal of the Negro's ambition—the redemption of Africa; the putting of our flag upon the highest mountain top in Africa, that the Red, the Black and the Green shall float freely in the air, declaring to the world that a nation has been born (Applause.) So let us be of good courage, let us not mind the hills of difficulty that seem to be in our way, we must expect difficulties in this life, but we must surmount difficulties, we must become superior to difficulties, we must say as Napoleon said, "Ittaly lies beyond the Alp"; and so our goal—the goal of our ambition—lies beyond the great seas.
Learn of the U. N. I. A.
We are met tonight to learn more of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; there is always more to learn; each day reveals new beauties about the principles of this great organization, each day reveals a larger, greater, nobler plan for the association. So let us prepare each day that we may be able to carry out this great plan — the only practical plan that has been given to the Negro for the solution of this problem that has vexed not only the Negro but the other nations of the world for centuries.
Preparing to Answer for Himself
They have been asking each other—what shall we do with the Negro? The Negro is now preparing to answer that question for himself. (Applause.) And when he answers it he shall answer it for all time—and when all succeeding generations shall look back upon these pioneer days of the Universal Negro Improvement. Association they shall read the names of

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.
The university will celebrate its

BY WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY
HAMPTON, Va. 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

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.

"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.

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.

Significant Step Forward by Negro College Women
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.

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

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.

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

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.

Before anything was. God was, and he spoke into being all that is. Being the Creator. He is greater than the thing created and, therefore, there can be no comparison between Him and science or anything that is and which men do not now clearly understand. The Divine Intelligence cannot be judged by finite intelligence. Its sources cannot be traced by finite minds which have their origin in infinity. The original first cause is the starting point from whence proceeded science and all the so-called mysteries of nature which modern science is struggling to unravel and explain as though wisdom and knowledge began and will end with it. The modern scientific mind must always be a second-rate mind. God and science are synonymous terms, and all nature testifies to their primacy in the world about us and above us. They hung the planets in space, created the waters above and below the earth, and modern science has not yet been able to do more than to speculate as to their distances from earth or to explain the exact principles by which the waters above the earth are held in the infinity of space it does not even know with certainty what electricity is nor the extent and scope of its power as one of the natural forces of nature, and it is powerless to control it.

We can only judge a man by what he does, says and writes, by the way he looks, talks, walks and dresses.

President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard University, discussing the Negro question in the South at a meeting last night under auspices of the Hampton Association of Massachusetts in the Old South Church, declared that sympathy, Justice, opportunity and thought are what we owe to "the colored man, who, despite the idea prevalent among the whites that he forced himself upon them, never came to this country of his own free will."

"We owe him sympathy," declared President Lowell. "for the years of suffering he has endured, and for the handicaps he has been placed under. His aspirations, yea even his hopes, deserve our sympathy. It is only just that if we are to be of any help in solving the Negro question, we should be first of all in sympathy with the man we are trying to aid.
"We owe the Negro justice," continued the speaker. "In every sense of the word. If guilty of a crime in the eyes of the law he must be punished—but punished by criminal justice and not by the false standards of criminal justice set up by mob violence."
Discussing the opportunity that we should give the Negro, President Lowell quoted Booker T Washington, declaring that the Negro should be given the opportunity "to achieve anything he can prove himself capable of achieving." He should be given the opportunity to achieve an education and even a career, declared the speaker.
In closing President Lowell reminded his hearers that it is as much the duty of the North as the South to help solve the Negro question, declaring that the North is greatly to blame for the position of the Negro today. "We made the mistake of allowing the South to settle the question to suit themselves," he said.

Heward Wemen Held First Annual Dinner in University's New Dining Hall
Brilliant in every respect was the assembly of 250 women, students and alumnae of Howard University, in the first annual Howard women's dinner, Friday evening, November 3. In the university's new dining hall. The affair was planned by Dean Lucy D. Slowe, who had as her motive the unifying of
the women of the college departments of the university and the coming together of the undergraduate and alumnae in a common title of sympathy and fellowship.
It was the meeting of youth and experience when the alumnae threw off their cares and problems and entered into the spirit of the occasion by giving yells and singing the college song. The enthusiasm at the dinner was tempered by a far deeper significance than was indicated by the jollification. The affair served to help awaken a woman's consciousness, which is one of the first steps toward the evolution of the "New Howard Woman."
ERIC D. WALROND, OF THE NEGRO WORLD, WRITES "ON BEING BLACK" IN THE NEW REPUBLIC
By WILLIAM H. FERRIS
A feature article, "On Being Black," by Eric D. W麓m. Associate Editor of The Negro World, appeared in the New Republic on Wednesday, November 1. The New Republic is a progressive magazine, a representative of advanced thought in science, philosophy, politics, economics, literature, art and music, consequently it is very popular with the intellectuals.
Two or three colored men, among them Dr. W. E. Du Bois, have already occurred a hearing in its columns, and now Mr. W麓m adds his name to the list of colored writers of class.
Mr. Walrond does not contribute an article after the customary manner of dealing with the race question as a sociological, political or racial problem, but he tells three short stories showing the psychic reactions of an intelligent colored man who has been discriminated against. In the first story the hero goes in to buy a pair of spectacles and the proprietor thinks he is a chauffeur because he is colored. In the second instance he answers an ad for a stenographer. He receives a favorable reply to his letter. When he presents himself and the lady in charge see that he is a colored man, he is informed that the position requires a man of banking experience. He is then referred to a colored friend in Harlem. And it happens that the colored proprietor was a former pupil of the hero. In the third instance the hero desires a stateroom, for his wife, traveling to the West Indies. Although the staterrooms were advertised for $250, he must pay $175 for a stateroom for his wife. She, being colored, must have a stateroom by herself, as a white lady wouldn't desire to share the stateroom with her.
The narration and dialogue are interesting and the descriptions vivid. The stories read easily and naturally, and at the close the reader is set thinking.
The novel and the short story have been very effective means of moulding public sentiment. Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was more effective in moulding a sympathetic feeling towards the slave than the scholarship of Sumner, the logic of Harrison and the eloquence of Phillips, Douglas, Beecher, Parker and Starr King.
Within recent years the story has been more effective in acquainting the Caucasian world as to how black folks think than philosophical dissertations or impassioned eloquence.
About seventeen years ago Mr. Willson, a former State attorney attorney of Chicago, wrote an article for the Atlantic Monthly upon "The Joys of Being a Negro." Then Chestnut's "The House Behind the Cedar" and "The Marrow of Tradition"; Du Bolt's "Soul of Black Folk" and "Darkwater" and James Weldon Johnson's "The Autobiography of an ex-Colored Man" through the medium of the story and reflections upon the black man's status have created a certain measure of interest in, and sympathy for, the aspirations and strivings of men and women of color. The world was wearied with philosophy, eloquence, argument and dissertations about the right or the wrong of America's treatment of the Negro. And then "The Souls of Black Folk" came along, revealing the agitated soul of a suffering Negro. And the country set up and took notice.
The novel and the short story will be the medium through which the black man's cause will get a public bearing in the future. Twenty-five years ago monthly magazines like the North American and the Forum, and weekly magazines like the Outlook and the Independent, which made a feature of philosophical and scholarly articles, and were serious in time from start to finish, had the right of way. But then the automobile, the golf club and the moving pictures came along. Men and women, even those who were educated, spent more of their leisure time in the open air and more in pleasure, recreation and relaxation. Hence they craved for light and pleasant reading, for reading that would not like the mind and necessitate too much thought and take up too much time. That the small book unurped the place of the big book and weekly and monthly magazines which made features at stories, pictures, poems, athletics and theatricals, and unurped the place of the North American Review, the Forum, the Outlook and the Independent. The latter two journals are still widely read, but they now have competitors who reach a wide circle of readers. We are glad them that Mr. Walthorn has joined the circle of story fellows. He is keen and widowed, who has the gift of expression, and we admire great things from him in the future.

Marriage in its Relation to Tubercular People
Marriage is a laudable social institution. It involves not only the man and woman who are married, but also the children born under this contract, and society at large. This aspect of marriage is most important in tuberculosis. The child and society have interests to conserve in this contract quite as important as those of the married pair, the chief of which are the health of the child and the health of the community.
Tuberculosis is a social disease. It is infectious, and close contact spreads the malady. To limit this disease and prevent its development in others is the chief aim of civilized communities today.
Should a tubercular man or woman marry?
Does the resulting offspring of such a marriage inherit or acquire tuberculosis? Does child bearing revive a dormant or early tuberculosis in the woman and hasten her death?
These are the important questions to answer. If the answer is "yes," then society should know the course to pursue in order to limit 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 society at large. How, then, does medical science answer these questions? Medical science has found that tuberculosis is infectious—that is, a healthy individual coming in close contact with another suffering with tuberculosis invariably inhales 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 lungs.
Marriage invariably brings about the procedure of close, intimate and personal contact; it is important, therefore, that the presence or absence of manifest tuberculosis be known before the man and woman take the marriage vow. A physical examination then by a competent physician should be a prerequisite before the ring is placed upon the finger, and if tuberculosis is discovered love should find a way to abandon a precipitate career of married misery and future unhealthy children. Laws to prevent unhealthy people marrying are useless; the element of personal liberty, like in that of prohibition, will prevent the true functioning of the law; and clandestine and unlawful contact will result. The only way is by health education and information. Let the young man and woman realize the misery that surely result when tuberculosis joins with a throttling clap husband and wife and finally lays its stranglehold upon the child. Medical science says with a clarion voice that a tubercular man or woman should not marry, and this information should be so prevalent and decisive that none would want to marry until he was thoroughly cured of this disease.
Every mother and father loves his or her child. This is a law of nature and love always protects. The health of the child is always paramount with the parent, but ignorance or the lack of information relative to the development of disease quite often offuses the natural wishes of good health for the child. The result is that a child is born with a low resistance and hereditary defect from an unsuspecting tubercular parent. Science has proven that though tuberculosis is not hereditary, yet the child of tubercular parents inherits a low resistance of the body and the child then becomes a prey to any disease with which it comes in contact as the days go on. Is this fair to the child? Doomed by its own parents to a life of sickness and misery before it has a chance to help itself? This may sound harsh, but the facts are there. Social workers and physicians see it every day. Health information and education are indeed the only way that love shall find to stop this onslaught in innocent babies. Again experience says for the good of the child a tubercular man or woman should not marry. A young child is always at a disadvantage in life without the watchful care and nurture of its mother—a motherless child has the pity of the world. Tuberculosis is guilty of many a mother's early death. This is due to the transformation of an inactive and early case of tuberculosis into a severe and active one by the strain and stress of pregnancy. Often do we see a blushing bride blossom and become fruitful and soon die, leaving a child hardcapped and motherless, a burden to society. Again experience proves that a tubercular man or woman should not marry.
Mutual love, self interests and sex interests must and can be subordinated to the interest of the child and society if health education and information be widely disseminated and the picture of misery and sickness be so forcefully presented that protective reason overpursues unreasoning love.

Boomerang !
Rape-Lust sated, along comes Blood-Lust,
Beats and tortures, strings him up aloft there,
Struggling, writhing, agonizing—quiet.
Burn the black body! Yell and rave and curse him!
We are his masters, the black man's a savage,
Hardly more than animal Oh, but we'll teach him
How to be civilized, how to be a Christian.
Ha! Pretty clever the way we hanged him!
Glad I was there. I told my wife and daughters
To gather up souvenirs to take home to the kids.
Too bad they missed it, but we'll tell about it.
How we good citizens that love law and order
Taught the black savages civilization.
Yes, my black brothers, that's what they'll tell you
That you are savages and revert sometimes
To African forebears. Oh, but listen!
There's another story, crooned by the branches
Of the tall sycamores on the old plantations
Who was it took your grandmother, his chattel.
Frightened, reluctant, lifting hands to Heaven?
Satisfied his Rape-Lust, satisfied his Gold-Lust.
Breeding more children to toil in his cane fields?
And the heritage of these Lust-bred children?
Chastity? Continence? Why not the Rape-Lust,
Boomerang hurled down the ages by the white man,
Hurled down the ages with a laugh of triumph
By the haughty white man, lusting, greedy white man?
Not from the grandsure, black African grandsire.
Docile and cheery, chanting strange music
Toiling in the cane fields—not from him the Rape-Lust
From the white grandsire, hurling the boomerang,
Jeering down the ages that should turn and smite him,
Smite the proud white race in its wives and daughters
And still the white man blindly boasts and rages. Curses and yells and satisfies his Blood-Lust. Glories and struts in the pride of his attainment. Teaching the black man civilization.
"INTELLECT AND THE AMERICAN NEGRO"
By JOSEPH J. McCLAIN
The intellect of the Negro is a widely discussed problem. It seems to be understood by the "white world" that the Negro's intellectual power is far below that of the average white man. The average American Negro does not know the actual value of his intellectual power, because of the fact that "intellect" has been rarely discussed in this country.
For ages white man has regarded the Negro as intellectually his inferior. White man has regarded the American Negro on the same scale as that of the uncivilized Negro of the African jungles. And why? Simply because he is a Negro. Plainly speaking, the average white man sees the Negro as an inferior being, believing him to be practically dumb; that he has to be driven, that he has no power of understanding. A reckless and immoral creature, a caward, a blockhead, who needs the guardianship of the white man at all times and places. Many have even gone as far as to say that the Negro was not created to equal the intellect of his white "superior." An article from the German philosopher, Schopenhauer's "Essays on the Wisdom of Life" says: "It is said that the most soluble 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 is said that we can't think, that we cannot understand. That we are sociable, but irresponsible.
Mr. Schopenhauer goes on to say: "I remember reading once in a French paper, Le Commerce, October 19, 1837, that the blacks in North America, whether free or enslaved, are fond of shutting themselves up in large numbers in the smallest space, because they cannot have too much of each other's anub-nosed company."
This probably means that the Negro would not trust himself with the company of an individual person of his own race. This was eighty-five years ago, and the Negro is by far a different type than he is in those days. It is true that in those days one found the scioiling grinning Negro, whose think-

ing power was led by that of he 'wise' white man. A specimen wise mental mind was as dark as the night in him, white man found mystery. He could not understand this man's intellect. So, therefore, he said: "These people are brainsless. I am going to teach him that he must humble himself to me, that I am his master and he must fear me. Physically, he is my superior, but I will manage that with my 'intellect'." And the white man went on for years leading the American Negro by the great sham of "buff" until the power of intellect exploded in the Negro, and he gradually began to break away from the white man a grip, and began to show himself as he really is, a responsible specimen. He began to match his wisdom with that of the white man; he began to match his strength with that of the white man, and he rejoiced at his wonderful discovery that he, too, was the same man as the white man. And now, last of all, the white man stands in fear of losing the last great hold of superiority over the Negro. The Negro is about ready to match his intellectual power with that of the white man. The white man has learned that his forefathers made a great mistake when they told him that he need not fear the Negro intellect. I see, in years to come, the white man as he stands acknowledging the Negro, saying:
"Burly this man is 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 respect him as he himself wishes to be respected.
The Negro has a great fight ahead of him, and it is best that he prepare himself.
Mother, you must take more interest in your child. Educate him and teach him the dangers of the world. Teach him to respect his fellow men. And, most of all, teach him to use INTELECT, that he may know and understand. That he may match his faculty of thinking with all men. That he may fight himself up into the world, using intellect as his weapon. Also teaching him that God created all men equal, and that he must uphold this equality at any cost. And in this way we make the longest step of the many we must make to gain EQUALITY and FREEDOM.

Ah, we see him in battle in millions galore.
In four gallant movements to reach freedom's shore.
Industrial tollers, mechanics and artists Are paving the way and battling for space
In all spheres of action as thinkers or martists
The Negroes can cope with every known race!
Why block him the roadway? Why hamper his stride?
This brother of ours cannot be kept down.
His gain is our blessing, his flood is our tide
And his shining success is our own crown!
So onward and upward the Negro is soaring.
Nor can he be stopped from reaching the heights
Where Booker T. Washington, Moton were scoring
And lit up the flick ring first beacon lights!
Then rose the bright writer Dubois with deep learning.
And fought a new battle in various ways
And greater and stronger the black man was learning
For better and sweeter and happier days.
In fierce the tempest so rolling the thunder
And flashing the lightning of protest was sent
All over the land to move up what was under
And spread out the gospel so murders repent.
Ab the toll was well done in this noble cause
The National society stood timely for good
And blazed a new doctrine for justice and laws
For outraged black man—and black womanhood!
And onward and upward the Negro was gasging.
A new star rose brightly, a new Moses came.
And let a new banner was gallantly blazing
To lift up the sleepers and wipe out their shame—
Their shame to be serfs and tools of no will.
At last a world figure dared brutes with their lynching.
Proclaiming that Negroes loved Africa still.
And black men are hoping, black women are praying
That the race will be free. Marcus Garvey a leading.
A new thought is spreading, a new Negroes saying
"I long for my homeland, now crying and bleeding"
And see with momentum no power to leave.
A move need so clear and so clean is a warning.
Throughout every land, no one can defeat it.
For into the hearts of all men 'tis a crying.
This movement makes all as one of all races.
This movement will last 'gainst gold shot and shell.
This movement all humans as humans embraces.
And it means earth's heaven where now there is hell!
It will go on for the Negroes their full rights and full way
And open the world for black, yellow and white;
Chandler Owen Phil Randolph and Poet McKay
Are leading the Negroes into Socialist light!
TENEO'S HALLOWE'EN
PARTY IN BROOKLYN
On the evening of October 31 the Teneco Club gave a party at the residence of its president, Mr Irving K. Richardson. Those present were the Misses Gladys V. Harris, Grace E. Hinda, Edna Mason, Anna and Margaret Welmor, Geneva Wingo, Mra. Arthur L. Williams, Mesra. Henry Cashburn, Clinton Harris, Edward and James Hinds, Robert Lewis and Arthur L. Williams.
The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion. One of the many features of the evening was dancing to the light of jack-o'-lanterns. At 12:30 the party withdrew to the dining room, where a generous repast was served.

Q. EMONEI CARTER
"As we have opportunity" Most of us have more opportunities for helping other people than we realize or than we use. Absorption in our own concerns, a disinclination to be troubled, a sluggish imagination—any of these may blind us to the chances at our own door. "What you have to do with others," said Carlyle, "is not to tread on their toes as you run—this is ever and always—and to help such of them out of the gutter—this of course, too, as your means will suffice you." In our lesson social responsibility is confined to the positive and latter form of the duty. It is implied that, as Christians, we have means in our insight and sympathy and unselfishness quickened by intercourse with Christ
The parable of the good Samaritan illustrates one of Christ's cardinal principles, that the inhuman heart is simply damning, and that the duty of humane kindness must take precedence over everything else. The jurist, who questioned him, had his own ideas of a neighbor, for the Pharisees called "neighbor" those who belonged to their own religious party. Jesus deliberately extends the range of meaning to any one in need. The jurist was anxious to "justify himself"—secretly convinced that he had a good case for drawing lines strictly. The parable shows up two religious persons fresh from their sacred duties, and yet quite callous as regards their social responsibilities. The real example of helpfulness is given by a Samaritan traveler, who goes out of his way to assist a man in need, without asking anything about his religious beliefs. The fact of his distress was enough. He saw him and the sight moved the traveler to intervention, to thoughtfulness, to a public care for the victim of social violence. That is the instinctive temper of social responsibility. But it requires to be practiced patiently. It is possible to grow "wearly in well-being" (69), as we have to attend to cause which involve long study and attention. Some people have to be helped by a patient care of their natures, by forbearance as they struggle against temptations, they try our temper and patience by their slowness to improve by their obstinacy or their fickleness. Many forms of social duty need much more than the initial rush of pity. They lead us into a prolonged course of watchfulness and thoughtfulness on behalf of others, in which we must not allow ourselves to grow tired or to throw up the task in disgust. The results may seem for a time to be disappointing, but the call is to persevere.
Another temptation is noted by Jas. 2.14-16. the idea that we can shelve our responsibilities by a few fine words. It is your fault go and look for yourselves. This involves a heartless indifference, especially as the case is brought under our personal observation and, as the people say, that such people may protest to have a Christian faith it amounts to nothing. No faith draws aside like that from need and distress. No faith contents itself with advice. It acts, it gives, it puts itself into movement. The spirit which saves "I am I and then art thou," is the reverse of the Christian. It is bad enough to find that we have missed opportunities which we ought to have soiled, that we have been living for years norhaps near cases of need which our conventional selfishness prevented us from realizing. But it is tenfold worse to decline appeals that are thrust upon us, on some trivial pretext which is at bottom, however we may disguise it under sophistical pleas, simply the dislike of spending ourselves or disturbing our personal comfort.

ARISTOCRACY OF FAILURE
BY REV. MAITLAND DE REMONT
We are Cynica.
Deep in our nature lurk the currents of
Content.
No man shall fathom us, our joy is
furtive.
Bebold, friends say their souls are
Blackened with Melancholy
The gaudy gwaws of deception!
We are as you, but with reversed
ideals.
Our happiness is cloyed that shares the
Common Eye.
We thrive on misadventure, and our
life is
One long wall of Satisfaction.
No man but Clivette, Dr. DeRemont.
Sadlicik Hartman, Joe Krauss, Harry
Kemp.
Pandora, Hypolite Havel and Dr Werner Marchand
Can feel the joy of
Failure.
None other that can suffer with delight.
Society sneers at us, and we scorn society.
We are the counterbalance of the
world.
AFTER THE ORDEAL
BY MARION B. LAKEY
I trod the darksome shadows
Of gloom for many a day.
And at last, by faith's persistence,
The spell has gone away.
The spell that on my spirit
Cast its dreadful, bitter blight.
That made the day so lonely,
And lonelier still the night.
Those dark days now are past—
Are past at least the while.
And now I brood more seldom
And oftener I smile.
Now brighter seems the sunshine,
And brighter the future seems,
And to my thoughts once more
Comes a halo of old dreams.
And I feel more fit to wrestle
With the surging tides of life.
For I feel the strength of the hero
Since passing through the strife

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. 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. He 'a so read a letter from the

Building Fund Rally, Sunday, November 8, 1922
By G. 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.

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."

I believe every woman can grow her hair one half to two inches a month by using Hair Root."

THE U. N. I. A. IN LA CEIBA
Spanish Honduras.
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.

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.

must be proud, a man who sets himself the task of working for the smallization of conditions existing among our people. 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.

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 procession

was formed in the following manner: The band; the corps, borne by six members of Loyal Progress Lodge I. U. of which deceased was a member; members of Loyal Hiram Lodge, L. U O. E. M. . Tela division of the U. N. L. 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.

LACK OF CHRIS- TIAN IDEALS
Bishop Gore on a Fool's Paradise—"Bad Smells of Hell"
"The Christian ideal has never been a world ideal."
"Today in England a large section of society has repudiated the Christian ideal."
These were two phrases in an address by Bishop Gore at the International Conference on the Reaffirmation of the World's Moral Ideal" at the Caxton Hall yesterday afternoon.
"Were they clear as to what ideal they wanted to reaffirm?" asked the Bishop.
In his opinion their task was to get an ideal accepted. Bible teaching was now subject to criticism and on the question of divorce the Christian teaching was rejected by a large section of society. We are living he said in a fools paradise without realizing how many pagan ideas he prevail. They must no longer connect from themselves how large was the number of people who did not accept the Christian ideal.
What the Public Wants
Turning to the subject of the application of the most ideal to the press Bishop Gora deplored modern tendencies. Newspapers gave detailed reports of sensational divorce cases, and for a newspaper to pay it had to provide the sort of fate its public wanted. The average reader did not want to be put to the trouble of making any effort when he read its newspaper. It was the same with religious papers, said the Bishop. He had once been connected with a paper which teled to put high ideas before its readers. The paper was highly praised, but no one took it in. The newspaper he was looking for was one which could choose its news items for its importance and report unpleasant divorce and police court cases in such a way as to make them uninteresting.
Principal A. L. Garve, who presided at the afternoon session referred to the sex obsession in the literature of the day. Sex was only a part of life, and if literature was to be a true interpretation of life, it should include sex only as one aspect of it.
"The problem novel," he said, "deals mainly with love-making and the drama with love-breaking."
As to newspaper reports of divorce cases, a great deal of the detail published did not help the public in forming a judgment of the case.
"It is only published he said, 'because some people prefer the bad smells of hell to the fragrance of heaven."
"Murder" of Schools
Ms George Calhoun read a paper on The Applicaiton of the Moral Ideal to Education which she pleaded for because of the importance of continuation schools of the country.
The murders of the continuation school was a crime.
At the age of fourteen a child's faculties had scarcely awakened, and part-time education up to the age of eighteen could do more of developing these faculties than intensive education up to sixteen years of age - The Daily News, London, England.
HOW PANAMA RE GARDS NEGRO IN AMERICAN POLITICS
That the darker races of the world are artificially looking to America to see if a Negro will ever again hold a seat in the U.S. Congress was evidenced by an article that appeared in the Workman of Panama in October, 1822.
The Workman, under the head of "May Elect Negro to U.S. Congress—Move to Secure Republican Nomination in 1st District, New York," thus quoted from a New York paper
"NEW YORK—For the first time in nearly a quarter of a century the United States Congress may have a Negro member after March 4 next

A concerted effort is reported among Negro leaders in the 21st District, embracing the greatest colored belt in the city and a part of the fashionable Riverside Drive section, to nominate one of their own ace in the Republican primary.
"Representative Martin C. Ansorge, the present member for the district, is a candidate for renomination. The colored men mentioned as his probable opponents are James Weidon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and William H. Ferris, editor of The Negro World. Both are reported as having strong backing among members of their race, as well as some white politicians. It is not likely that both will enter the primary, as this would insure Ansorge's renomination. An effort w' be made to concentrate the Negro vote behind one of them. There are approximately 35,000 Negro voters in the First District, which is more than 40 per cent. of the total vote of the district. Ansorge achieved considerable newspaper prominence recently when he named a Negro youth for the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. The boy later failed in entrance examinations and was unable to qualify
"George N. White was the last Negro Representative in Congress. He came from North Carolina and served in the 55th and 56th Congresses, retiring in 1899. There have been two Negro Senators, both from Mississippi, and each serving during the reconstruction period. Those were Hiram R. Revels and B K Bruce. Bruce was a former slave whose master educated him. Revels was a minister and organized two Negro regiments in Baltimore at the outbreak of the Civil War. No Northern State has ever sent a Negro to Congress, and the outcome of the Stat New York District is being watched with great interest by politicians" - Herald.
THE RAID ON THE BENCH
Mr Cohalan made a valiant battle n the face of what was almost certain defeat He was not fighting for re-election. He was fighting against a bi-partisan combination of bosses effected for the purpose of controlling the bench. His campaign has served to unite right minded citizens against the presumption of the bosses and to awaken indignation throughout the country at this raid on the bench. Mr Coleman, who permitted himself be entered as the Republican candidate in the race against Mr. Cohalan has the dubious satisfaction of knowing that he ably aided the purposes of the Tammany boss. Otherwise he made his race for nothing.
Mr Cohalan can be proud of having made a brave fight for a principle and of having awakened the people of New York city to the necessity of taking the judiciary out of politics—by whatever means may be necessary.—New York Tribune.
THE DEMOCRATIC BLIZZARD
Fordney, McCumber and Mondell, reactionaries of the reactionaries—all out
The price was high, but ridding Congress of these incubuses is worth it to the Republican party, worth it to the country—New York Herald.
Whatever other interpretation may be put on Tuesday's Democratic victories, they cannot well be heralded as a return to Wilsonism.
The figures brought to the front by Democrat successes East and West are in no way associated with the Wilson regime.
Tuesday's results brought to the fore as new possibilities for party honors and leadership no close followers of the last administration. There is no Wilson tamp on these outstanding 1922 Democrats: Alfred E. Smith, Edward L. Edwards, James A. Reed, Woodbridge I. Ferris and Samuel M. Ralston.—The New York Tribune.
Another thing shown by Tuesday's election is that a democracy is not too nice about the instrument which it uses to effect its purpose. That it would turn so strongly to the Democratic party seemed most unlikely. That party was without campaign funds, had no efficient organization, put forward no detailed and unified plan of action and appeared on the whole to be broken and disspirited. Yet voters flocked to it in uncounted thousands.—The New York Times.
Broadly speaking, this is what might be called the bell raisers' year. The politician who represented revolt was the man the poters generally turned to. Discontent and unrest have been widespread. The farmer, with the prices of what he sold cut to pieces and the prices of what he bought on high levels, was disatisfied. Neither the worker nor the business man was happy. The burden of heavy taxes was resented. The voters took out their resentment by flocking to the man who promised to kick the table over, even though these men could not possibly bring any real help. The outcome is a warning to the party in power. —Kansas City Star (Ind.).

By WM. ANTHONY AERY
HAMPTON, Va. Oct. 27 —Folk music of the East and West met on comparable terms through the cooperation of Max Rabinoff of New York, when the well-trained Ukrainian National Chorus, dressed in gorgous native peasant costume, and the Hampton Institute chorus and choir, composed of Negro voices, recently sang in Ogden Hall at Hampton Institute the famous folk songs of "Little Russia" and the Negro Religious folk songs or "spirituals" of the "Old South" before a warmly enthrallastic audience of over 2,000 representative white and colored citizens of the Lower Peninsular of Virginia. This matinee concert was given under the auspices of the Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute, of which R. Nathaniel Dett is the conductor
Russians Deeply Moved
The Ukrainian singers were enclosed again and again. They were greeted with sympathy and fervor by the 850 Hampton Institute students, who sang to them under the leadership of Paige I. Lancaster, formerly a song, leader and first lieutenant of 'the Buffaloes, four Negro folk songs, "Ride On Jesus," "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "Look Away in the Heaven," and "Bwing Low, Sweet Charlot." Some of the Ukrainian singers declared that in all their travels through Germany, France and Belgium they had never heard such thrilling chorus singing as that which was furnished to them by the Hampton Institute students. They fairly danced with joy behind the curtain after the Hampton students sang for the primitive and developed Negro folk melodies.
Tribute to R. N. Dett
Alexander Koshetz, the famous Cassack conductor-composer, after hearing the Hampton Institute choir of sixty voices sing "Listen to the Lamb" and "Till Never Turn Back No More." two compositions based on Negro folk motifs, written by R. Nathaniel Dett of Hampton Institute and interpreted under his conductorship, said:
"This Negro composer's work is colossal in its significance of the cultural possibilities of Negroes. On my return to Ukraine I shall put Professor Dett's compositions on my programs and have my students study and interpret Negro folk music."
The Hampton Institute choir sang with effectiveness, as its first number. Harry T. Burleigh's "Deep River"
Perfection of Chorus Singing
The Ukrainian National Chorus sang three groups of folk songs. Their program included fifteen principal num-

bera. The public appraisal of their work and of the Hampton Institute singers is clearly reflected in the following editorial, which appeared in the Newport News, Va., "Daily Press" of October 12:
"Music lovers in this community are indebted to Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute for a rare treat in chorus singing, by both white and colored singers. There is no music, we think, quite equal to the singing of a well-trained chorus, and next to that is a well-trained orchestra, and next to that is the pipe organ in the hands of a well-trained performer.
The Ukrainian National Chorus, directed by Alexander Koshta, a Gossack composer and conductor, is not only a human chorus but a human orchestra and a human pipe organ. In some of the vocal accompaniments yesterday afternoon it was hard to believe that the harmony was produced by the voices of men and women, and not by musical instruments—violins, flutes, French horns and bass viola. Especially notable was the bass viol effect, with its decrescendo, shading down to what seemed to be a soft reverberation. Again the chorus produced the effect of an organ, the conductor sounding the stops and producing much the same effect as though he had his fingers on the keys and his feet on the pedals so well in accord were the different voices, so responsive to the moods of the directing artist.
But the Ukrainians were not the only chorus singers present. The students of the institute were there in force, and whether singing as a student body or as a selected choir their music was perfect of its kind, for colored choristers can beat the world singing their own inimitable melodies. The Ukrainians were visibly impressed, and gave expression to their appreciation by enthusiastic handclapping and encores.
"The Daily Press heartily congratulates the Hampton Institute singers on their splendid work. It was an honor to the institution and the colored race, and a high tribute to their excellent training.
"Variety was added to the concert by the vocal solos of Mila. Nadia Platinova, who has a soprano voice of fine quality, thoroughly cultivated."
Platinova an interpreter
Mile. Nadia Platinova, the Ukrainian lyric soprano, who is making her first road tour, created great enthusiasm and won prolonged applause for her finished and effective singing of romantic ballads and folk songs. Her seven solo numbers included "The Doubt," by Glinka; aria from "Snow Maiden," by Rimsky-Korsakoff; "Look, Pretty Maiden," by Dargomjsky; "Had I Only Known," by Tschalkowsky, and "Lullaby," by Gratchanoff.
The Newport News "Daily Press" called special attention to the fact that Mile. Platinova "interpreted the Russian miscellaneous melodies in exquisite style." According to the same critic, M. Nicholas Stember "accompanied with intelligence, showing ex-

LONDON, Nov 9.—The British Home Office today drew the color line around the prize ring and forbade the Joe Beckett-Battling Siki match in this country. The fight was scheduled for December 7 and was the outcome of the recent Beckett-Moran bout, where it was arranged that Siki should fight the winner.
Discussing the matter this afternoon, one Home Office official said: "In contests between men of color and white men the temperaments of the contestants are not comparable. Moreover, all sorts of passions are aroused. Such contests, considering the very large number of men of color in the British Empire, are considered against the highest national interest and they tend to arouse passions which it is inadvisable to be stimulated.

Skii Knocks Down Manager Cuny PARIS, Nov. 9.—The aggressive tactics of Battling Skii, who won the light heavyweight championship of the world by knocking out Georges Carpentier, may lose him his prize ring honor, it was generally believed in sporting circles today. Bets of 2 to 1 were made that the French Boxing Federation would disqualify Skii permanently from the French prize ring and declare his title forfeited.
"Last week I formally notified Skii that a repetition of his rough tactics would mean disqualification," said Franz Relchal, secretary of the French Boxing Federation, to International News Service today. "I told Skii that boxing is a gentlemanly sport and must rely upon gentlemen for its support. Skii promised to be good. He even offered to join the French army as evidence of his good faith.
"The riot resulting at Salle Wagram last night, when Skii knocked down Manager Cuney in the ring, was most regrettable. It all happened because Balzac, the fighter whom Skii had been seconding, was knocked out by another fighter, Prunier, whom Cuney had been seconding."
Skii was led from the hall by the police while angry threats were hurried at him. Once outside he was released.
"Skii's conduct effaces his ring victories," said the French sporting paper, "L'Auto. "We hope that the Boxing Federation will take drastic steps against this champion, who is not worthy to represent France."
Formal complaint against Skii was made to the Federation today. As yet no date has been set to hear the claim for Skii's disqualification.

Prenatal Care
The best time to take care of a baby's life is before it is born. The baby's greatest asset is a healthy father and a healthy mother. A baby's development before birth and its chances for health in after life depend in a great measure upon the mother's health, environment, care and nourishment during pregnancy. It is said that more than one-third of all infant deaths are due to diseases and conditions which are operative during pregnancy, and a large percentage of this number is preventable. The best preventive is proper instruction and supervision of prospective mothers. Every mother owes it to herself, her child and her country to bring into the world a stippe and healthy offspring and to safeguard her life and health during pregnancy and labor. It is the right of the child to be well born, to be given a fair start in life.
If every mother could be taught to appreciate her basic position in human society motherhood would soon cease to be a haphazard consequence of uncontrolled instinct.

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!"

Three - Month Agricultural
Course Begins on December
4, Says W. K. 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.

Southerners Refuse to Eat at Same Table With Colored Man
PEABODY. 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.

El sistema industrial del universo sufrió en aquel funesto perlodo una desorganización general, subsanándose Este al poco tiempo con la apertura de centenares de industrias de guerra, fábricas y otras plantas, las cuales se vieron obligadas a adquirir el servicio activo de hombres y mujeres sin ocupación, quienes fueron arrojados a la calle por los potentados industriales, durante la época de paz.
Losinhamientos o conatos de linchamiento en las cuid. des naturalmente, no tienen la misma favorable atmosfera que en los pesquisos pueblos del oeste. No presta ayuda a los lichadores la lejana de los centros oficiales la extensión de los campos y la re ativa intimidad con conocimiento que reune a todos los cuidadanos de la comarca. Con todo en circunstancias propias, una muchedumbre excursa y enardecer por el sentimiento de justa y humanidad, se entrega a excesos de que en nada tienen que enviar a los estados de la indignacion rural. Pero la resolución de la polícia en el cumplimiento de su deber, sence el muy mas.
En la demanda de hombres y mujeres para cubrir las plazas vacantes en el mundo industrial, millones de hombres y mujeres de nuestra raza fueron requeridos para que prestaran su cooperación. Estos, anteriormente despreciados, fueron luego bienvenidos en todas partes.
Bajo condiciones normales, nuestra raza ocupa un puesto de muy poca o ninguna lucritud en la vida industrial y económica 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 lucrativo en las empresas manufactureras. Ante esta actitud y con anticipación al periodo en referencia, millones de elementos de nuestra raza fueron sometidos a una crisis de trabajo embarasosa, con muy pocas esperanzas de mejorar tal condición en el futuro.
Los linchamentos en el oeste y en el sur, no se suceden al cabo de años y más años de protesta, sino bajo la toranca a oficial Varias asociaciones parecen inclinarse a utilizar este sayge procedimiento de represión y bien se observa ello en el aumento de las estadísticas del linchamiento en todo el país. Que en Nueva York se aplaque tan rapida y legitimamente el motin linchador es significativo. A bien seguro quiera el dos poetics que aqui de-enfunda resueltamente su revolver para defender a su prisonero convertido en sheriff en un distrito curra', sabía también hacer repeler la ley.
El eterno plan de la raza blanca ha sido cerrar gradualmente al Negro la entrada de esas avenidas de progreso y seguridad económica, forzándole a perecer por falta de labor que le facilitate el ganar su subsistencia. Este plan fue puesto en práctica generalmente en Norte America y de no haber sido por los nueve años de reajuste industrial, nuestra raza en este lado del Atlántico, hubiera corrido la misma suerte de hambre y desesperación que han sufrido los habitantes de la India.
Santo Domingo Ratifica Su Convención Postal
La ratificacion, por la republica dominicana, de las conveniones postal y de paquetes postales que se adoptaron en el congreso postal de Buenos Aires en septiembre de 1921, eleva a seis el numero de las repub cas americanas que se adhiere a ellas. Las oitica postal de departamento anuncia que los paquetes postas es entre los Estados Unidos y la republica dominicana seran al tipo de doce centavos por libra. El peso maximum de los paquetes es de veinte a veintidos libra.
Esta parte de la humanidad sometida por la otra a perecer, se vió de pronto, por motivo de las circunstancias, en una nueva era de prosperidad. Millones de elementos de nuestra raza se colocaron en posición opulenta. Estas nuevas oportunidades duraron por un solido período de cuatro años, durante el cual nuestra raza entera economizó muy poco o 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 continuamente.
Respecto al franque de dos centavos por carta, está en efecto conquine de las repúblicas an ericanas Argentna, Bolivia, Brasil Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, República Dominicana, Ecuador, Haiti, Horduras, Mejico, Nicaragua, Panama, Perú y El Salvador
Con ecepción del elemento que constituye nuestra organización, nadie pensó en el mañana. Tanto los que se precían de intelectuales como la masa inconciente, todos perdieron el sentido. Los directores de la comunidad y de la nación se vanagloriaban en el más alto costo posible de subsistencia. En una intermable procesión de orgía, marchaban todos por laavenida de un derroche nacional.
El Secretario Hughes y e Reconocimiento de Mejico
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 preparados solamente podran luchar en contra de los rigores de una civilización sin sentimiento.
En su discurso de Boston el secretario Hughes dejo abierta la puerta para el reconocimiento del gobierno de Obregón de México, empleando frases que le permten amputud en el cumpimiento de las condiciones del departamento de estado. "No insusimos dijo Mr Hughes sobre la forma de cualquier garantía especial para los cuidadanos americanos contra la confiscación, pero deseamos a la luz de la experiencia de los años recientes la realdad de esa protección. Esto de decir, los Estados Unidos no desenquirir la aceptación de tratado de ami-tad y comercio en el encargado de negocios americano Mr George Summerin, sometio al presidente Obregón en Mayo del ultimo. En su discurso de Boston Mr Hughes confirma la decración partida de Washington en 19 de Octubre bajo la forma de un mensaje que no fue oficialmente autorizado.
Desgraciadamente el Negro no ha dado aun su paso de avance, sino que arrodillado en el altar de la simpatia y de la caridad pública, espera, como los israelitas, el maná del cielo, sin darse cuenta de que la humanidad no reconoce por mas tiempo la práctica 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 condición, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra desde el período 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 la voz de alerta que en todas direcciones le dice: preárate, preparate, preparate.
"La decarction del significado del articulo 27 de la constitución mejicana y e el caro e inequivivo proposto del gobierno mejicano de no tratar de aplicar las d'sintivas retroactivas de d cho articulo a los americanos que esten 'algemale en posición de titulos de propiedad, deben preceder a cualquier inicativa hacia el reconocimiento. El procedimiento preciso por el cul garantías adecuadas de la indole requerida han de ser dadas por el gobierno mejicano no son asunto de interes immediato para el gobierno de Washington, con tal de que sean
Hoy mas que nunca nuestra raza tiene la necesidad imperiosa de una dirección eficiente. Ninguna otra raza al presente está tan pobremente preparada y a falta de dirección como la nuestra; ya sea esta irlandesa, egigcia 6 hebrea, todas en su propia esfera hacen esfuerzos sobrehumanos para colocarse en un puesto adecuado en el reajuste de la civilización moderna.
dadas en una forma que se crea en
Washington adecuada.
Es aportuno inquirir qué procedimiento seria satisfactorio. En su mensaje de apertura del congreso en septiembre 1, el presidente Obregon declaro que la actitud de México en relace con el tratado de amistad y conerço no habla cambiado. Afirmó que se habla hecho una contraproposición para que se estableciera un acuerdo por el cual México reconoce la las reclamações americanas por daños sufridos durante los días años de revolución, debiendo suceder immediately el reconocimiento a lairma de documento, y nombrandose entonces a una comisa enmixia que fijara los daños perjuicios y estudiara e tratado de amistad y comercio. Habiendo sido declinada la proposición México habia adoptado una política de cuidado a espera" y demostraría al conus su conducta que merita el reconocimiento. Parece fuera de duda que la situación politica en el conreso compelio al presidente Obregon a anunciar enuncias este programa. Pero pushera presumir que el gobierno de Obregon tomara nota de la intimación contended en el curso del secretario Hughes en los on. Como ha de darse la garantía contra la confiscación? La provevería nuevos tas los de la corte suprema mejicana sobre la cuestion de la retroactividad del artículo 27 de la constitución de Carranza? Cuando el secretario Hughes examinó el texto de los cines decretos de amparo que se afirmó ofrecían un precedente de no retroactividad en los casos de compañías perleras, expreso su disconformidad con esos fáos en los siguientes términos.
"Estas decisiones no tratan de manera efectiva de los derechos de cuidadanos americanos a terrenos que contienen petroleo u otras substancas as del subsucre o, cuando los terrenos estaban su supiedad antes de l'de mayo de 1917, pero que no habian sido explotados, o sobre que contrators o deréchicos para explorar v expor e' petroleo no habian sido concedidos antes de esa fecha."
La consecuencia parece ser que su los decretes de amparto hu'eran en contrado aprobación por el departamento de estado en esos puntos pudiera haber quedado abierto el cammo para el reconciimiento. No obstante, debe tenerse en cuenta que los americanos duenos de propedades que no sean terrenos petroleiros por ejempю. ranchos, bosques, nimas han sufrido a causa de las eyes de defecos confessoros os basados en el articu o 27. Se sigue de ello que no solo decisiones categoricas que establuen un precedente que pronounce en aqué' articu o retroactivo en relación con los tíu'os adquiridos anteriormente al l de mayo de 1917 seran consideradas por el secretario Hughes como satisfactorias.
Francia Se Rectifica en el Oriente
Francia ha deridido alinearse con a Gran Bretiafa contra la maniobra de malalista para obtener posiciones de os estrechos antes de la reunión de la conferenza a de paz. Queda por ser si este sego de la politica a ultima hora puede salvar la conferencia.
Su salvación significa que los turcos no vayan a Lausanne después de que hayan sido todas sus demandos hechos consumados. Porque solamente si los turcos tienen a go-tamble con que tratar en Lausanne sera possible para os aliados pactar con ellos en alguna forma. Pero estos no obtendrán nada de los turcos si los principes objetivos suyos han s do alcanzados.
La equivocación de la política francesa ha sido pensar que Kemal continuaria siendo un vasal o auto por gratitud al apoove francés. Por esta ilusión Francia abandonó a la Gran Bretagna y trajo al Cercano Oriente casi a la inmunización de una querra. Ahora esa ilusión se ha dispado. Hay muchos sintomas de que la opinión francesa esta comenzará a comprender la sinestra significación de la intitre antingesta, kemalista, del Quat D'Orsay.

SITUACION DE LOS NEGROS
Invoco por testigo de la verdad en mi decir, al espíritu de mis padres, que negros fueron.
Los concidadanos de color, por un lamentable y connatural retaimiento, no disfrutan, en rigor, de los mismos beneficios que la civil zacoun ha traido para los demas Las instituciones que imperan en la Republica desde 1886, han conquistado para este pueblo, paulatinamente, si, en fuerza de los escascos recursos y de las sangrientas contiendas en que catas fratideas mermaron la savia vital de la Madre, un suito de inegable prosperidad material y edificante comportamiento civil, v a partir del año de gracia de 1903, el arbol frondosismo de la paz reparte su sombra de uno a otro lande de la comuna heredad En epoca preterita, la prensa yaacia sojuzgada, la enseñanza civil era casi nua, los docunos, refugios bochornosas; la seguridad dad privada, un mito, el eercuio de la autoridad, una amenaza, a punta de las bonaventuras, la ultima ratto Honda raigambre echaron tan funestas practicas, por eso no debe maravillarnos que todavía persiguen fines torcidos, encubiertos con el disfraz de halaguertos objetivos políticos, para cuyo alcance mantenense colombianos en crecido número apartados de la escuela y en rita con aquel obrar que fundando y custodiando la felicidad del hogar por infimo que se, exteriaron en el ambiente de la sociedad la purera que bajo el propio techo se respira. Como en las matrizas de la guerra de 1914 los soldados negros eran colocados para servir de predicleta carne de cañón, así también, aunque anomáo parcea en esta no desmentida democracia colombiana, existen cor fecos que destinan los negros a depresivos menesteres. En visperas de la e'eccción de Primer Mandatario, efectuada el 12 de Febrero anterior, se probasta la soiedad mi veridico y triste aserto. Cuán ironicamente se hicieron los pechos con pompos oftertas de mejor existencia, con la seguridad del goe de todo aquello que el propio sudor no alcanza, en el reparto de latifundios. Tales, las mieles, dismullo en el acibar del reclamo del voto. Vedahi, Honorable, señor Garvey, el por que criminal de que no se haey extinguido totalmente en el peck del elemento negro el fuego que antano produjo incendios devastated. Es, pues, una tendencia de expiotar on la que se empecina en exhibir a nuestros hermanos como curturas en quienes se anida, fecundo, el germen de atentados contra los mandatos de la civil action Naturalmente es abono en tales campos el apagar en las almas toda lumbre de fe; y Vuestra Señoria, memidad ilustrada, convendra commigo, sea cualquiera su sucre, que el recuento de los hechos humanos en la sucesión del mundo, pone de manifesto cuánto es el influjo reigoso en los seres racionales.
No satisfaction amén de eso, la concurrencia del negro a la Escuea y a el制品, a la par que el neagable retraimiento ya citado, el que sus hijos ganan el sus ento con la brega del jornal, y por inmisericorde violencia, tan presto los brazos adquieren solidez y vigor, empuñan como armas el arado y la azada.
La higiene que le rodeo, si exceptuamos el baño, es ninguna; y precisamente e la es más apremiante por lo malsano de los climas donde se mueven y desarrollan sus actividades donde e blanco no posa su planta por temor a las éndemias, alli penetra el negro, y levanta su techambre y cava la tierra en demanda de aquelos bienes a que tiene derecho como dominador de ella. En manera alguna se defiende contra do encias que se ahuyenta:
Por lo que toca a los dones y defectos, redundancia fuera decir a Vuestra Señoria, sabio explorador de lo más recondido de esa parte de la humanidad, que ellos asisten también a los individuos de color que pueban a Colombia.

Cosecha abundantisima sera recompensa a los undores, quien la duda?; pero se requiere un sembrador prudentismo que con ternura vaya regando la simiente de corazón en corazon, como de surco en surco cane e' dorado grano esparcido por la mano del labrigo y que mafana pondra en fuga el hambre, la miseria, la esc.avitud, el hosco crimen.
Porqué ha de arredrarnos, Honorable, seflor, el que con ojos unqueítes tengamos que indagar, amanecer tras amanecer, un dia una crearnos el sol en el cenit para recerrarnos con el vigoroso reventar que cubrirá de esmerda la era donde regamos gota a gota, los diamantes arrancados a nuestra frente?
No obstante hallarse la raza muy迪minada en el territorio patrio tengo para mi que en el va le del Vauca, y del Valle, en la ciudad de Palmira, al ligada por el Eminentismo Carderal don Francisco Ramoses "Chicago de Colombia",debe instalarse el centro de acción ade'ante haré ver las causas respectabilismas que me asisten y que concurrirían aquí importante a perpetuar en este aueo no interrupida vendemia Cobarde fuera yo ai dilatado del área de la República, las penalidades y sinsabores de los viejas, la sorprendente variedad y brusca transicón de los climaes que experimenta el caminante, ae me interpuseran como muralla china, o fueran diga sepultura de mi valor moral.
El dón de gentes, el trato exquisito, la conducta caballerosa, son armas de las cuales no puede vere desprovisto quien intente la enaltecedora conquista de los espiritus; y, concretiadome a nuestra finalidad, es un mandamiento inoxorable el aparatar de las mentes la sospera del tralificante obst nado en usufructuar la buena fe del negro, porque no faltan entre los de color pechos susceptibles y altivos que, al sentirse lastimados, o exigen cuantas rigurosas, o apeñ a a tremendas represalina. Soy duelo de un cuantio credito de predilección en todas las esferas sociales, no claro esia, porque personalmente lo haya adquirido, sino en virtud de habeler heredado de mi padre.

Representantes del Supremo Gobierno, del Palamento, del Poder Judicial, del Cuerpo Diplomático, del Eljereico, del Cuero, de la aristocracia y del pueblo sencillo: de la sociedad en suma, se congregaron para rendir poster homienje al extinto, pues nadie osaria negar, y es, si, reconocido y ensalzado, que mi padre no denunciaba diferencia a de respeto cuando su udaba con apostura marcial a la esposita del Primer Magistrado, o cuando recibía cortesamente a la ma humilde mujer que a el se acercara en demanda do su vaimiento para si misma, para su padre. para su marido, para su hijo, para su hermano, para su amigo. Enorguelzcome de mostrarse avaro con tan inestimable legado y lo presenta a Vuestra Señoria en la convicción de que sabrés justipreciarlo y recibió por contingente de quen aspira a ser último de vuestros colaboradores.
En estas no muy apartadas comarcas, es poco menos que absoluta a ignorancia de vuestras sublimes tendencias. En 1921 llegaron a mil los primeros anuncios por la Prusia de la Capital de la República.

SIKI CANNOT
MASTER NERVES
Has Heart of Gold, How ever, Declares Manager in Defense of Fighter
PARIS Saturday The Echo de Sports today publishes a detailed account of the meeting of the French Boxing Federation at which the Renegalese battling Siki was disqualified for nine months for his attack on M Cuny, manager of the Boxer Printer. Cuny joined Descamps, manager of Georges Carpentier, in entraining for an acquittal, saying "Of course, it is deplorable, but is he entirely responsible? He holds a title too heavy for him. He is a child who has been allowed to play with a gun."
Descamps recalled that his protege, Carpentier, always had upheld the dignity of boxing—in fact, that he had been christened "the Ambassador of Muscle."
"Don't rob him of the chance of recovering from Siki that which he has lost," he pleaded.
Various proposals for the length of disqualification were put forward, ranging from two months to two years, and the nine months' sentence was finally accepted as a compromise. The writer declares the color question was in no way involved and that it was not even considered. He proposes that, as Siki volunteered for military service in 1914, he might be given "amnesty" in celebration of Armistice Day. The culprit himself aroused certain sympathy before judgment was announced, declaring "When I was plain Siki no attention was paid to my tricks; they were only laughed at But since I became champion people get angry."
His manager, Hellers, accepted the situation philosophically, saying that "it was bound to come sooner or later."
"Siki has a heart of gold," he added "but nerves that he cannot master. He thought that his action would prove him a true sportsman in the eyes of the spectators.
"He never wished to go to America, among the people who, he said, 'despised Negroes,' and I had the utmost difficulty to get him to promise to cross the channel to fight in London.
"He has often declared that if no longer able to box he would sell shoe blacking and be quite as rich, and insisted he would prefer to abandon his pugilistic titles if not allowed to live as he liked."
FACTS ABOUT LIBERIA
The pamphlet, "Liberia, the Land of Opportunities," published by Mr Joseph R. Austin, the mining engineer and head of the Liberian Exploration Co. with main office at 240 Broadway, New York City, contains some interesting facts about Liberia. We quote as follows from pages 4 and 5 of the pamphlet:
"The Republic of Liberia—A Brief Description of the Country
"Situated between the British colony of Sierra Leone and that of the French Ivory Coast, possessing a frontage on the Atlantic ocean of 840 odd miles and a total area of about 48,000 square miles, the Republic of Liberia, although normally but about two weeks removed from the United States, is, nevertheless, in all probability the one portion of West Africa which today we least know about. Liberia, due to a variety of easily comprehensible causes, has been herself, so to speak, outdistanced by neighboring divisions in the striking commercial competition of the latter half of the nineteenth century, has not as yet reached that point of economic development which is here by right of geographical position, of latent resources and in no small degree of the ability and capacity of her people to derive and enjoy the fullest measure of advantage from it.
"Geography
"Geographically it is only possible to speak with certainty of the seaboard and some of the surrounding frontiers, since the interior, but little explored and with most of its more prominent features still inaccurately placed upon the map, remains to a great extent an unknown country possessing (who shall say?) absorbingly interesting and valuable features and unrealised sources of wealth. From the Atlantic, whose immense, glassy rollers best upon the Liberian sands in a never-ending, roaring, snowy surf, the country stretches inland for a distance, in some places, of fully 200 miles; is densely forested, and possessed of a native population variously estimated to be about 2,000... 000 people.
"Geology
The geological formation of Liberia is still an uninvestigated feature. All that we are told, upon authority, so far, of persons more or less unpossessed of special knowledge, is that for a distance of twenty miles or so from the coast one finds disintegrated gnies, diorite and grano-diorite. This gradually gives place to metamorphic rocks, probably granite, since it is intermingled with quartz crystals, to aplite, an admixture of orthoclase and quartz, which shows itself in the boulders of the mountain ranges, and here and there to pagmatite and porphyritic feldspar. It is, however, entirely difficult to determine from descriptions of hand what the prevailing class of granite is, but we have formed the objection that, in all probability, and if
solution that, in all probability, and if the data are as stated, it may be of similar composition to that which constitutes as it were, the bulk of the hostome of the African continent, namely, a granite composition belonging to one of three great groups: an igneous, a sedimentary or a metamorphic group. This, however, is mere

A movement which is working for good and not receiving the appreciation it deserves is that of promoting better feeling and clearer understanding between the white and colored people of the South. The work is being done by what is known as the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation, with headquarters in Atlanta. Two-thirds of the counties of the thirteen Southern States have local organizations of representatives of the white and colored people respectively. Kentucky has recently supplied two illustrations of the benefits which accrue.
At Madisonville when a mob formed to seek out a drug crazed Negro who had murdered the sheriff the commission met and it was soon clear to everybody that the guilt was that of an individual and not that of a class. The Negroes joined in the search for the assassin. They deplored the act. Sheriff Hanson had been friendly to the Negroes and the friendship had been reciprocal. The guilty man was legally tried and legally executed. The mob had considered burning the Negro section and precipitating a race war. The saner course was followed because the inter-racial commission could appeal to public sentiment in a sensible way.
At Corbin a Negro was wrongly accused of cutting a white man. The cutting was not even by a member of the race of the accused. The ringleaders of the mob which formed and herded all of the Negroes out of the town were sent to the penitentiary through the efforts of the inter-racial commission. Mob law is anarchy. It brutalizes the community. It lowers the standards of whites and blacks. It discourages the ambitions of Negroes to be good citizens. It is anarchy and has no place in civilization. Everybody knows these things, but it takes organization to make the knowledge effective—Louisville Times
conjecture, and the question is likely to remain unsettled until a properly organized geological survey of the country has been carefully undertaken. Here is a brief statement of some of the minerals found in Liberia Gold silver, zinc, copper, iron, sapphire, ruby, cinnabar and diamond. These several sources of great wealth remain undeveloped owing to the want of capital and the great and urgent need of scientific and practical men, to apply the means necessary—an as to derive tangible economic returns.
There are a variety of soils which depend for their quality, as elsewhere, upon the precise localities wherein they occur. Thus, on what may be described as the const belt, there are but two varieties. The first of these, a strong, dark, organic mould, is found near or between the hard, brown, laterite rocks of the seaboard. Nothing could exceed its fertility and productiveness. It is, however, essentially a wet-season soil and would probably not carry its fecund properties much beyond the close of the rainy season. Another more or less upland soil is a reddish, argillaceous body, not wholly unmixed with decayed organic matter but much intermingled with gravel and small stones. The redness it displays is largely caused by the oxidation of the particles of iron ore of which it is full. In the lower elevations, there are three splendidly productive soils. The first and richest is a glorious black leaf mould which is common on the banks of the rivers and on the three-covered plains. It is a perfect organic humus, apparently wholly free from gravel or stone admixture, and capable of producing in the greatest luxuriance almost any crop requiring an exceedingly rich and nutritious soil.
Cutting the republic into four unequal sections, the Cavalla, St. John, St. Paul and Mano rivers discharge their waters into the ocean, the first and last named forming respectively its eastward and westward political boundaries. Of these, the Cavalla is without doubt the most important and perhaps the most interesting. Rising, so far as is known, in the Nimba Mountains near the French Soudanese border—which is also the source of the St. Paul river—it flows under different names through an exceedingly broken and hilly country, receiving various confluents to swell its volume from the Druple and Gatro Ranges to the east. Its course as a whole is easterly and southeasterly, and it is understood to be navigable for a distance of fully 80 miles eastward of Cape Palma, where it empties itself into the Atlantic.
There are, of course, other rivers in Liberia, some of which, for example, the Lofa, Cestoa, Sangwin, Sincee and Dewa, although, so far as is known, of no great length or value from the point of view of navigation, reach, nevertheless, in some cases, to an impressive width and volume as the coast is neared, swarmed with highly appreciable fish of many varieties and display to the full all that amazing wealth of color and variety of vegetation which lend to all African waterways so compelling and arresting a charm, "Liberia, the land of opportunity."

IT PAYS TO PATRONIZE YOUR OWN
THE CALL TO LIBERALISM
On Tuesday the patriots and the profiteers, who exploited the confusion of war for the purposes of reaction, went down to smashing defeat. The whole conspiracy to use patriotism as a cloak for the greed of special interests, the whole attempt to use American loyalty as an excuse for Prussianism has ignominiously collapsed. The whole east post war propaganda which tried to identify Americanism with intolerance is destroyed beyond recognition. From East to West, regardless of party, using whatever faction was most convenient, the American people have repudiated an ungenerous and frequently corrupt distortion of their own liberal ideals.
This is not a national Democratic victory. This is a defeat of the reactionary group no matter what its party label, wherever it showed itself. Lodge went down to moral defeat in Massachusetts, saved from actual defeat only by the fact that his opponent could make no indisputable claim to liberality. Pomerme went down to defeat in Ohio. In spite of a Democratic victory in the State, because he had identified himself with Daugherty and with the Harding railroad policy. Beveridge fell in Indiana, a victim of his own misguided effort to make himself an apostle of normalcy. Townsend fell in Michigan, the first Republican Senator to lose in seventy years, because the Republican Party was defending Newberry. Freelinghuysson in New Jersey, Calder in New York, Mondell in Wyoming, Poindexter in Washington, Kellogg in Minnesota went down to defeat because they stood for the kind of government which is most strikingly symbolized by the Fordney-McCumber tariff. Fordney and McCumber themselves didn't even run.
The closer the result is examined the more indisputable is the conclusion that the vote was a vote against reaction. In Massachusetts the Censorship Bill was beaten four to one, this being the first time that the voters of an American State have had a chance to express themselves directly upon the principle of censorship. In New York a very large part of Miller's defeat must be ascribed to resentment against the denial of home rule to the cities and to the contrast between the generosity of Al Smith and that harsh and suspicious view of government which is symbolized by the Lusk laws and the Mullan-Gage act.
Where the Democrats were under liberal leadership, as in New York and New Jersey, they won. Where they were under illiberal leadership, as in the Senate fight in Ohio, they lost. Where the Republican local organization was anti-Harding and liberal, as in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska and generally west of the Mississippi, candidates with a Republican label won. A liberal feeling on a national scale expressed itself in each State through that particular wing of the parties which happened to be most convenient.
The Democratic party will do well not to misread the result. This is not a Democratic victory. Only in so far as the Democratic party represented an opposition to the Harding policies can the result be interpreted as Democratie. The people did not vote for Democratic leadership in the nation.
COME FROM PYRAMIDS TO VISIT MOTOR PLANTS
Ten Egyptians Are Sent by Khedive's Government to Study Manufacturing
Ten Egyptian students graduates of the engineering and polytechnic schools of Egypt sent to America by the khedive's government to learn American manufacturing methods, arrived last week in Washington and have been placed by the Department of Commerce in automobile and other factories. For two years they will work as actual employees, with the purpose of carrying back to the land of the pyramids the industrial and technical knowledge and skill of the Yankees.
Their coming was inspired and engineered by Lester Maynard American Consul at Alexandria, who carried on the negotiations with the Egyptian government which made it possible, and arranged with the Departments of State and Commerce in the United for their reception and placing The Egyptian government pays all the expenses of the mission. When the students return to their native country and introduce American methods into it increase in trade between Egypt and the United States will follow in the confident expectation of the officials of the Department of Commerce who have been concerned with their coming
There was no national Democratic program to vote for. The people voted for liberal leadership State by State, and the question between now and 1924 is whether the Democratic party or a third party can fuse this State liberalism into a national program under inspiring national leadership.
Politics in the next two years will be a contest for the leadership of this liberalism. That contest may split the Republican party. It will in any case provide the Democrats with an enormous opportunity. The Democratic party nationally is free to make itself the leader of liberalism. The Republican party cannot do that without first racking itself to pieces in a struggle like that of 1912. The national Republican party is too deeply committed. Its conspicuous leaders, Harding, Lodge, Hughes, Hoover, are too closely involved in all the entanglements of tariff, subsidies, injunctions and Newberryism. They cannot free themselves, even if they had the vision and the will.
The Democratic Party is free of these entanglements. Its greatest menace was Hearst, and Hearst, thanks to Al Smith, is no longer a decisive force. The landslide in New York buried together with the reaction the demagoguery which feeds on reaction. The Democratic Party is free to offer national leadership to the liberals in the States. If it has the courage to act and the intelligence to see it, it is free to go before the people with a program which will translate into concrete proposals their vague but powerful desire for a more liberal regime.—The N.Y.

these great pioneers and that of Gårvey shall stand at the head (Applause)
Hon Thos. W Anderson said For the past few weeks we have been down in the part of the country where you do not have to wear overcoats at this time. We have been in the Southland visiting some of the divisions there and it would do many of us good to go down in that part of the country and find how loyal and enthusiastic the Negroes are about the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Everywhere we found men and women willing to give their all for this great cause. Here we find those who declare that their heart and soul is in the movement when they are before you but going around the corner they are doing everything they can to tear the movement down and it is for you as you find those knickers those shirkers and those jerkers to push them aside that the movement may proceed. You find those even within the pale of the organization fighting it, even those whom you believed are sincerely interested in the movement doing the movement injury, so that after all we have to decide that our real enemies are not those on the outside but those on the inside, and it is for you loyal earnest and sincere members to stand behind the movement as you have never stood before, for without the Universal Negro Improvement Association there is no hope for the black man in this age. If you do not know this one thing, it is time that you learn it now. Engrave it upon your hearts and teach it to your children that they may know the real aims of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause).

Drake and Walker Entertain. Large Audience Last Week
Those who journeyed to the Lafayette Threat a last week were very well entertained by Drake & Walker and their well balanced company Drake was so far ahead of the rest of the company that it might well be said that he furnished 15 per cent of the amusement Drake is funny, singing, playing the cornet or just standing still doing nothing He is fun personified.
That distressed look he puts on his face at times is so realistic that no one can stand under it without giving away to spells of laughter
Walker and the rest of the company give him spendid support.
Follow Me," with the well-known Billy Higgins, is the attraction this week. The book is by Billy Higgins and E.R. Pittman. The musical numbers by Stanley Billet. The show is being staged by Jerry Mills.
"Follow Me" is a spectacular musical comedy with a touch of vaudeville. The music is good and catchy. A few of those starring in the Song Hits for this company are Alice Georges, Doris Hudson Iola Young, Mamie Smith, Walter Brugadale and Al Curtis. The show with its pleasing variety, is a splendid tonic for any on affected with the Burs." Billy Higgins, the man with "the educated arms and hands, and droll sayings has always been a favorite with the "fans." This year he appears better than ever.
Record crowds are expected to attend the Lafayette Theatre this week.
