The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Man The Best Advertising Method AWAKENING OF THE NEGRO AND HIS RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR VOL. XIII. No. 21 AWAKENING RESOLUTION FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The New Year has come upon us and we have made our resolutions by which we shall guide ourselves through the period that is ahead of us. As a race our resolution is one of greater determination to continue the work in blasting the way toward universal freedom. The fight for race rights is really just begun, and in 1923 we shall be more in earnest in the prosecution of this great ideal than we ever were before. Gradually the world assumes a normalcy that will ultimately place the Negro back into the position from which he was forced out during the period of the last world war. Studying the signs of the times, we see where effort is being made by the great ruling race to standardize production among themselves and to further establish new zones and spheres of control and domination for exploiting the land of the weaker peoples of the world. A greater rush is now being made toward Africa than ever before, and we hear talk of Africa being the future home of the white race. This in itself suggests the danger ahead of the four hundred million Negroes of the world if they do not redouble their effort and energies at this time toward the immediate realization of our hope, that of freeing our country from the vicious invader. THE STAGE SET FOR ACTION The Universal Negro Improvement Association in the few years past has set the stage for action, and all that is expected today is that the millions of Negroes throughout the world rally to its program and fight unflinchingly for its accomplishment. The vision of our race to a great extent has been dimmed and narrowed in the United States of America by the visionless and senseless agitation of individual nationalists who exploit the race through domestic nationalistic propaganda, because it immediately pays more to advance such a cause under the leadership of white patronage, which generally has its purpose, than to launch out in the deep, relying on self and personal initiative to put over the bigger program of creating an independent and free nationality of our own. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have had to combat the narrow-mindedness of these domestic nationals whose selfishness will be the cause of the ultimate destruction of the fifteen million members of our race in the United States of America, in that their program can lead and will lead to nowhere except that of race subjugation and extermination within the borders of this great country of the white man. THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL The defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, sponsored by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is a fair indication of the white American mind toward the Negro, and if these advocates of greater constitutional rights and political liberty had the vision of real leaders and reformers, they would have seen out of such reactions the handwriting that is surely on the wall of Negro future in the countries of whites. The growth of the Ku Klux Klan is not surprising to us of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because we feel that the Klan is not only an organization in name, but that the Klan is a country in spirit, and while the members of the Ku Klux Klan are honest enough to declare their attitude and opinion, there are millions of A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 G OF THE NEG NS FOR THE DOMINATION OF THE LAND OF WEAKER PEOPLES BY THE STRONG THE VISION OF A RISING RACE FURTHER COMMENT ON THE DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL THE GROWTH OF THE KU KLUX KLAN others who profess their faith who would not be thus frank, but who would work in secret and underhand to bring about the same condition as sought by the Klan—that of WHITE SUPREMACY. Senseless Negro editors and agitators have fought the Klan without first considering the result to be reached by open antagonism or by diplomatic maneuver. In the same way they have muddled and defeated the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by their brainless and senseless undiplomatic agitation of the issue, so will they bring down upon the Negro people of the country more sorrow by the undiplomatic and senseless attacks made upon the Klan than otherwise; in fact, I repeat, the Klan is not only an organized institution at Atlanta, Georgia, but it is a national spirit. THE NEGRO A MINORITY GROUP As a minority group in the United States of America, the Negro is but playing with fire when he attempts to attack institutions of the majority group in a hostile attitude with the hope of bringing reform. Human history reveals the fact that no reforms have ever been brought about in such a manner by minority groups, but reforms have always been brought about beneficial to the minority group by a diplomatic handling of such situations when they do arise; and it is that diplomacy that the Negro in America greatly lacks at this hour. For the purpose of gaining notoriety, Negro newspaper editors in attacking evils affecting the race would, like a senseless man, attempt to push his hand into the lion's mouth not knowing the lion would naturally devour him. Such an attitude is generally assumed by the average Negro leader for the purpose of gaining notoriety for self rather than for service to race. That is why Johnson and Du Bois defeated the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill; that is why certain Negro newspaper editors in the United States of America are going to inflame the spirit of Klanism to a greater extent than probably was intended by the Atlanta group. THE NEED OF LEADERSHIP FOR 1923 We are more in need of real leadership for 1923 than anything else, because the men who have placed themselves in the limelight are fellows who are seeking only their personal interest, counting not the cost as far as it affects the race. So long as Weldon Johnson can be known, so long as W. E. B. Du Bois can create the possibility of associating with a few white people because he agitates the Negro question, service to race will end there, even though millions suffer. Nothing proves this more than the controversy between the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Honorable Perry Howard of Washington. The National Association going on to will destroy hell and heaven alike. making a name for themselves, notorious though it be. They see no good in others, even though others work for the cause that they profess to love, and to be interested in. If the industrial, social or political condition of the Negro can be improved in the United States of America and some other individual or association attempts to do and is succeeding, because the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is not in the lead, they would destroy the possibility of success. In the same way, if there was a possibility of redeeming Africa for the four hundred million Negroes of the World, and it was to be feather in the cap of some other organization or individual this same gang of fellows of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People would move heaven and earth to prevent the success of such an individual movement, and these are the men who have been as race leaders. Men who are interested in the care of their people care not how the Negro is done, so long as it is do What do we care whe fully put through the Antis Robert Moton. All that we want is that the thinkers and let the individual sink in the background. But gang, a closed corporation of Dn Boin Weldon John Bagnall & C. are determined to take credit for a thing, even though it be done otherwise. I believe if we would come to earth a second time and visit New York National Association for the Advancement of Colored People would send out a release that they were responsible bringing Jesus to the city. This is the only way these laws can keep the public satisified over their do-notness and satisfy themselves for drawing the big salts that they get through public subscription which they not the decency enough to acknowledge in detail in columns of their "Crisis:" The tell us in a release they spent $6,980.93 for advertising in eleven white newspapers, but they will not tell us by publication much money they actually received and from whom received it for agitating the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bride these gentlemen will be the first to question the big sheet of any other Negro organization endeavoring good for their race. How long they think they can up this farce is a wonder. That they have lost as they would, in putting through the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, they are now trying to shift the blame to someone, and the letter of Perry Howard came as a QB by which they could excuse themselves.

While the motto growd that usually infests the streets on New Year's eve was keeping up a perpetual dun on the outside and celebrating in all manner of ways the passing of the old year and the coming in of the new thousands of serious minded Negroes set in Liberty Hall giving thanks to Almighty God for having preserves their lives and caused the association which is sponsoring the cause that is nearest and nearest to their hearts to survive the difficulties and trials with which it was beset during the year. Their presence in Liberty Hall was an indication of their loyalty and devotion to the association and leaders and their intention to carry on the work with unrelenting vigor as a bearing in mind the fact that in the fostering of the association lies not only their own salvation but the salvation of 400,000,000 Negroes the world over. The President General Hon Marion Garvey, delivered the speech of the evening, in which he reviewed the work which the association had accomplished during the year and touched briefly upon other questions not included in the pale of the association but which had a bearing upon the Negro both personally, and internationally, and affected him determinately or otherwise. The Universal Negro Improvement Association he said has had an eventful year in 1922. A year of wonderful accomplishment wonderful because whatever has been achieved was made an or rendered possible through the stubborn determination of the part of the giant memorial of this great movement to its program through speaking of the 1922 convention he said it was the greatest and most resplendent and far reaching of any of the conventions held since the birth of the association. It assumed most vital questions affecting A was a source of information to find that through the of the delegation the British sent abolished slavery in India. If the association had added nothing else, said Mr Garcia, alone would have been a wont achievement, standing out to a group that be credit of the Univer so Improvement Association offered to the opposition which isolation had encountered during an opposition which he said, preceded, but which tested hoster, worth confidence and proof of the association, but out of the association had emerged quietly. other questions to survey was the withdrawal troops from the Nato Domingo, once an affair of that nation ends of the nativest occupation of Haiti by authorities and the loot of Liberty, which was American Governed regular meeting the and participanted in celebration he and as the host 12 in demonstration new year right for our freedom but the Negro in America did not initiate the movement which resulted in his freedom and no freedom which did not win from the battlefield no freedom in the country did not initiate the movement to win it and safe. And the Negro is giving that every day with his assistance of the North. There are a number of Negroes who say that the would strike out for the more war. An American citizen they would be intolerant upon the rights of the white man he did not think that the Negro should have any fear of introducing upon the rights of the white man he was the white man is going to so if that he does not do that and the white man will appease the Negro all the better if instead of giving his strength in stand of giving his encouragement to the white man he would give it to the Negro and lift that burden off the white man. We are not disturbed by that Negro who thinks that the white man has his best friend and unless he is blind in the direction of liberty he will be reduced to the state of slavery. I know you know that in every city of America with a population of one hundred thousand, two Negroes die to every one white man. And that is brought on by the peculiar common condition in which we are forced and incessant that is attested the Negro is bound in the same direction as the Ameros in Indian. When the prophets of old told the old Indians that room would be wiped off as a unit in America, those old Indians smoked their pipe of peace and now put so the prophets of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are telling Negroes that unless you move the movement in the direction of your own freedom you are going to be reduced to the state of slavery. I find throughout the Southland an understanding among the colored people that this is the state of affairs, but they have not as yet had sufficient light to note as they should behind this the greatest organization in the world and the only means to secure our freedom as a race. Coming Into the Association We find that in large numbers they are coming into the association, but they are not coming fast enough, but if conditions continue as they are in the South and even in the North land, Negroes everywhere will be forced to unite under the banner of the Rise the Black and the Green An Impelling Factor the things which is compelling think seriously upon this the failure of the Dyer anti-will they staked their all bill, they gave thousands and of dollars to the representa- the National Association for of that bill, and when the fed team, when the Republic Frederick Doug has said was the ship and it also the men—then these people felt oppleas, and they are yet in that age without anywhere to turn. And it to us to point them to the only ashaven—point them to an organization to which gathers its strength from the faith that it has in the membe the faith that it has in the race. As we feel certain that when these pole have had time to think it out they are certainly thinking since failure of that bill we will find united under the banner of the t. the Black and the green as new force in the past. A Splendid Spirit Growing Negro Improvement Association And at Union University, where the brother of Father Maloney is teaching I had another saluteled reception, and a number of those who attended our meetings in Richmond were young students many of whom came to the peace where I was stopping and discussed this thing with me as young men who are seriously considering the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Much to Be Hopeful For So we have much to be hopeful for because never before have the young men taken to this program as they are now taking to it. And it is up to us to keep the home fires burning here as indicated here tonight. It is up to us to unite our forces as never before and to carry the challenge to the very teeth of our enemy. Hen Marcus Garvey Speaks Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows. It is customary in all constituted and well-regulated movements for those who lead to retrospectively at the close of the old year say something by way of summary, touching the accomplishments of the organization, its achievements, or anything that has affected it during that period of time. An Eventful Year The Universal Negro Improvement Association has had an eventful year in 1922: a year of wonderful accomplishment, wonderful because whatsoever has been achieved was made so or was rendered possible through the stubborn determination on the part of the giant membership of this great movement to see its program through. We pay more regard to and respect to individuals whose interest in anything is common with others and like others would persevere for the accomplishment of any one thing that affects everybody in common that the others do not contribute to or assist in making possible. We nominally count millions of members of this association, as those who have at some time or other possessed a disposition to help put over the program. But for what has been done he should not say that we could not request and compliment and thanks the members of the membership or to THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION IN LIBERTY HALL Garvey Reviews Work Accomplished During the Year—Touches qn All Matters Affecting the Negro Nationally and Internationally—U. N. I. A. Has Had an Eventful Year—Has Encountered Unprecedented Opposition, but Has Emerged Triumphantly—Great Things Accomplished in the Year 1922 REPRESENTATION AT THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT DURING THE YEAR—HAS IMPRESSED THE GOVERNMENTS OF EUROPE AS NEVER BEFORE—HAS BROUGHT ABOUT THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN EAST AFRICA Poston Says the Freedom of the Negro Is Not Secure—The Race Is Headed to Slavery Unless We Save Ourselves—Calls Upon All Negroes to Fall in With the U. N. I. A. A Most Wonderful Convention government for the Negro people of the world. How well will they executed the charge they themselves post? If you but we commonly will never know and understand until later developments have proved to us the righteousness of our demand. Suffice it to say however that in our acting them by our sending them abroad by our having them sit in the league and having them appear in our behalf we have created an impression among the great governments of Europe that will not immediately pass away, that will not smother and the but will I feel sure rebound to the credit of the entire Negro race. We were able through their representation closely as well as through other agencies which we were working for the same thing to get the British colonial government to abolish slavery in East Africa. Slaves is a condition that you and I will acquainted with. It is that condition from which we were emancipated in this country fifty-seven years ago. A condition we were emancipated from in the West Indies Islands eighty-five years ago when our parents or forfeited parents did not own themselves, when they were not free men and free women but when they were chattels of others. Just you own a horse or a cow or some animal today so we were owned by some one else in America many years ago and in the West Indies ninety years ago. Well, the same condition existed in East Africa and the anti slavery and aborigines Society of England agitated the question for several years even in the British Parliament, asking the British government to abolish the slave condition existing in East Africa and in other parts of her African dominions, and they did not get any immediate results and no attention was paid actually to the request. But when it was followed up with a delegation from the Negro peoples of the world themselves and not demanding the abolishing of the slave trade or traffic there, but that the territory so conrolled and governed to be turned over to them for better administration in behalf of the people the British government saw that the time was at hand for them to lift the curse of slavery from our brothers and sisters in that part of the world. A Wonderful Achievement If our delegates had accomplished nothing else—if the association had accomplished nothing else for 1923 that alone would have been a wonderful achievement standing out to a great extent to the credit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (applause) made possible through who? Not so much through the bulk of our nominal membership, because numbers alone could not pay the passage money of the delegates to said convention from New York to Geneva, Switzerland, and keep them there for a month, so we had bring them back to New York to make sure the faith- friends who be having the true sense of love to the race and to the organization realized that if we were able to build one that did not harm to our people us before the league. In the way we have looked the society which comes to the recognition as a whole by truth of its virtue in those faithful for who and their duty by the organization and so have a moved the much through the faithful few in the end when Morna reelected when the story of a new thought is told and the result and the credit will be for the man who once preached the faith but the credit will be for those who kept the faith and who were always faithful to the end. Apudamus. That has been the basis of great in moments and support the a new will face an different to the past in moments but the credit of the legacy once before us. We have achieved little progress in our year. We have trained over the greatest opposition in our country ever combined in 1914 to save humanity during 1915. Not only the forces of hell were lined up against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. During the year 1915 and here we are getting ready to enter into a new year ready with courage and determination to fight on even to the end for the accomplishment of the work that we have set ourselves to put over. We have been made the stronger for this opposition in that the opposition came as a test of the character, the worth the confidence and strength of the association. How well we have kept the faith well we have maintained confidence and yourself by your observation will tell. Looking around Liberty Hall on our side who have kept the faith, you will see those who have confidence enough in themselves to enable them to fight on without yielding for the final accomplishment of the great program that we are engineering. We have by the opposition that confronted us been able to sort ourselves we are not finished yet in assuring because probably the opposition is not half finished, the opposition probably has just started, but in the midst of this opposition will come the crowning glory of this great organization opposition of the kind test the character, opposition of the kind test the faith. It was the kind of confidence it was the kind of faith and character that the man Christ put his disciples to at a time when He was getting ready for his confirmation. And how many of them stuck to the faith that they professed. You well know I have thought so much had been answered, dished one of the sheeps he uses in the propaganda that envisioned him doubled even that he was in the presence of Christ. I am convinced that he asked to touch Him and to feel Him to the end out of He was the real Christ the person he came in contact with before. Liven in the details of the great triumph of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the accomplishment of the association many of us have found time to doubt ourselves and doubt its accomplishment and doubt its achievement but this has been the human character all down the ages. Therefore those of us who had lived not on any war be surprised in the question or the careful because of this spirit. But it is well at the close of this year to be you realize that in spite of all that went on the work has triumphed, the work is still going on and will ultimately be accomplished in every detail (Applause.) Satisfied the Pioneers of the Movement the success of our program in using the world will be the result of the and other of the many things that have been the result of the those who have been the result of the hef on the ultimate triumph of our organization will come the crown of victory. Just as our description in tone a was able to put over the pro- gram of freedom for the nations in East Africa through the support they got from those who kept the faith so ultimately the other things the larger things that are to be conquered will come out through those who keep the faith to the end. Has Reached a Point Never Reached Before The year when summoned up by bringing the reservation to a point in world movements never reached by any other organization before. Wherever you go whether it be through this great country of America or Europe or any other part of the world you will find there a knowledge of the work of the association, an acquaintance with the work of this association that is not common of the knowledge or acquaintance of any other organization organized for the same purpose among Negroes. This much was made possible by the support that we gathered from the members during our The member-hus has exhibited a skill that spits a sound though probable from a financial viewpoint not as responsive as the ear previous but nevertheless one that suggests that there is an everlasting hope and belief that the only good that can come to the race can only be through the great program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Deep down in the heart of everyone whether he was an old member of the association or whether he was never a member of the association deep down in his heart is the belief and conviction that the only program that will solve the race destiny is the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. An failure). They come to the conclusion after they have fought the organization they come to this conclusion after they have made their own effort to put over the program in their own way and after they have failed they have come back and said that after all it is the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its program. But for those of us who have stuck by the organization it is our duty because we cannot afford having and the collection to treat it as lightly as others have done because of all concerned were to treat the vision with the same amount of light as we would never be able to make a forward step. or a forward move toward the goal. But with this much we feel sure that we will take new courage for the incoming year to continue the work so that whether it be in 1921 or 1923 or any succeeding year for the triumph of this great career that when it comes it will not find one it will not find two but I hope it will find a great majority as loyal as faithful as confident as ever we were for the great work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I am sorry I have not time to furTHER elaborate on other things that have happened to the race not directly inside our organization, but I want however to remind you that outside of the Universal Negro Improvement Association there have been great changes also changes for the good as well as changes for the bad. Unfortunately we have had the failure of the Dyer anti-lynching bill in the Senate of the United States. The efforts of an association known as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by which they hoped to have stopped mob violence and lynching and burning in the Southern section of this country, but because of the bad diplomacy and the bad manner in which the program was handled the bill met defeat in the Senate of the United States of America, and to our way of seeing things has set-back the colored man in the North 50 more years, as far as his political hope goes. I am sorry the hour will not permit me to elaborate on this phase of the question as it affected us in America during 1822. During the year the United States HON.

I inform unites, a few weeks ago, in debate turned down the loan and I will not be granted to the little republic of Liberia leaving her in the same condition she was in before. I informate by this question of the Liberian loan could have been better handled if those who had the authority to negotiate the loan had adopted different ways and means to get it in that the Negro people of America themselves could willingly have subscribed to the loan. Not the Liberian Negro Improvement Association but other Negro institutions in this country were willing to subscribe the $1,000,000 loan to Liberia. But unfortunately the representatives of Liberia at that time were not disposed to treat with the Negro people of this country. They preferred to deal with the white man believing in his promise of good will. The result is that they were sadly disappointed having depended upon this loan to meet the conditions of the country. That was to be one of the new terms in the program of the Liberian Negro Improvement Association for 1923 in that the executive council of the association and mayor personal, the continuing holding the meeting on Liberia, and for that purpose the association will take under consideration the financial condition of that country and do its part as far as possible for the development of the only independent republic on the continent of Africa. I thank you for the patience you have exhibited and I am only sorry that because of the abstentess of time, I was not able to go into the details of what has been done and accomplished by the association during the present year it is thought to come to a close.

CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY OF EMANCIPATION LIBERTY HALL New York January 1, 1925 In keeping with the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to remind and call the attention of the Negro to his past history and the progress he has made since the days of slavery making a comparison between his past and present condition the fifty-eighth anniversary of the emancipation of Negroes in the United States of America was celebrated tonight in Liberty Hall with an exceptionally splendid program of music and speeches that threw a ray of light upon the period of slavery the horrors that attended it and the crimes leading up to and which inspired the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln. Addresses were delivered by Hon R L Poston Lord Henry Vincent Haley Lord William H Ferris and Hon Macaulay Harvey. The addresses were an education to themselves and gave proof of the fact that these leaders of the association are well conceived with the history of the Negro race and are through the medium of the association imparting the kind of education to Negroes that will enable them to know the position and by this knowledge gain the position and ambition they will pursue them to push forward in the program of the association for the complete emancipation of the Negro race and redemption of the fatherland Africa. Below are given the speeches of Lady Blaise and Hon Macaulay Harvey and the speeches of Prof Ferris and Mr Poston will appear in the next issue of this paper. LADY HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS SPEAKS Ladie Davis spoke as follows. We are delighted indeed to greet you on this occasion of the celebration of the emancipation in the United States of America. I am needless for me to make a resume, but there are some points that I would like to mention. The South on one hand belays it but in New England and ground State of New York slaves were held thus. The stopper holding slaves be he she did not find it a paying proposition on therefore they sold their slaves to the Southerners. Into this great harbor of New York there came a ship bringing a cargo of slaves and among that cargo was an African chief named Senki and that man was so proud and brave and courageous that he caused a mutiny on that ship. He killed the captain and put the crew in irons, and assisted by other slaves brought the ship into the harbor of New York City. (Appears.) The Abolitionist Wendell Phillips William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass, along with Mr. Robert Purvis of Philadelphia, came to New York and met this brave Negro, and they insisted upon the government of New York sending to Africa, from where he was stolen. That was the work of the Abolitionist and was the work of the Abolitionists along with that great hero John Leroy doing to mount men that caused North America to demand to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. We grew that it was at our mercy but those things led up to this great event of the Emancipation Proclamation. Turners insurrection had to bear upon our freedom John Brown, execution in 1832 struck the first blow for the freedom of the American Negro. He shed his blood that we might be free and I have often heard Frederick Douglass say that it was merely a matter of chance that he was not hanged along with John Brown because he was on the plot.

The Negro Will Strike the Second Blow And so in Great Americanator Abraham Lincoln was the instrument in the hand of tool, food so arranged in that he should with one strike of his pen free four million Negroes in the United States of America. And as I gaze upon that statue that stands in the city of Washington not far from my home in Lincoln Park—as I look upon the statue of Abraham Lincoln with a slave kneeling at his feet with his manacles broken I say Abraham Lincoln struck the first blow but the Negro shall strike the second blow for his freedom in the United States of America. (Applause) The Universal Negro Improvement Association, led by its great founder one of the greatest crusaders the world has ever known bids that Negro with broken manacles to rise in his manhood, stand upright, look the world in Can You Sleep All Night?

Marcus Garvey said Fifty-eight years ago four million black souls were emancipated in this country from the bonds of slavery. Slaves is a condition imposed upon an individual liberty of the right to live and conduct his own life, that denies the take the right to live in the way that it desires. When a man is a slave he has no liberty of action no freedom of will he is bound and controlled by the will and act of others. The difference between us today in the Western World and the slaves of 15 years ago in America is this. You and I are at liberty to leave this hall and go home. We naturally go to our bed and sleep eight or nine hours running in the morning to go to some part in our vacation or work that we need to indulge in and leave that employment at our will. If we are at liberty to remain at home, to consult a doctor and to refuse to go to work. The condition of a slave as that he has no will of his own. He is compelled to do and he must do he cannot refuse he cannot reject the command of his master. If he is sick and a curd in his work he has to work not to get out but to remain. Such is the condition of four fathers fifty-eight years ago in America they had absolutely no will of their own. They could not act on their own initiative but they were bound by the commands of their masters who owned them as you would own a horse today as you would own a mule or some animal for some useful animal that you would use for performing a certain kind of work. As the teamster of today would own a house and use that horse for the purpose of dragging his wagon along so were our fathers owned by the slave masters of American fifty-eight years ago and they were used as his ruments of labor in the same way as we use animals today for the performance of work that we want done. As the horse cannot rebel against you as the mule cannot rebel against you because you are the owner and if you desire to work that mule for the day it must work so our fathers were not in a position to rebel against the dictates and the commands of their masters fifty-eight years ago in America. A change came about from that condition through the consideration that was given to us at that time by a man known to us as American history as Abraham Lincoln who at a certain period of the history of this country signed a proclamation that emancipated four millions of black men and women from the chattel slavery that I have tried to describe to the freedom that you and I enjoy, at this moment The Cause of the Emancipation Some people differ on the cause of the emancipation. Some say it was a war measure—that Abraham Lincoln saw that it would advance the cause of the North to liberate the slaves in way he did so. Others believe that it was purely a humanitarian act on the part of Abraham Lincoln because he considered that no one should be held as a slave and be sympathised with the condition of the Negroes—that is why he emancipated us. We are not discussing at this minute whether it was a humanitarian act on the part of Lincoln or whether it was merely a war measure. We celebrate the anniversary of the emancipation because it strikes home to us in this present age as well as in succeeding ages in that Negroes all over this country wherever they be claim direct relationship not by sentiment but by blood with the four million people who were emancipated in this country fifty-eight years ago. There is no Negro born in the United States of America who does not in some way or other claim a direct relationship with the slaves of fifty-eight years ago who were emancipated in this country. You are either a son or grandson of a slave. Therefore we are interested in the emancipation in view of the fact that our fathers and our forefathers were the chattel slaves who were thus emancipated in the time when they were slaves perpetuating (probably against their will) an institution that was forced upon our race in this Western World for 250 years. The emancipation came on fifty-eight years ago, but the institution lasted for nearly 250 years. For 250 years our race—the people from whom we have sprung—were kept in a condition wherein they had no will of their own. They could not act on their own account, they could do nothing for themselves, but they were just an instrument of labor and toll of a class of people who claimed to be their masters. Imagine such state—that from a child you would be apprenticed to somebody or you would be the property of somebody, not being able to do anything of your own account. Imagine that and you have a condition of slavery. The contrast is great, but the thing for us to think about is, is slavery an old institution or a new institution? Is slavery known to one race or to all races? Is slavery known to one age or to all ages? The answer is that slavery is known to all ages. Slavey has been since man in the different distribution of himself scattered here, there and everywhere and has grown up by himself and developed by himself wherein one race will become strong and the other race becomes weak; the one race that is strong has always reduced the weak to slavery. It has been so in the ages past; it is so now in certain parts of the world, and will be so until the end of time. Slavery is a condition imposed by the strong upon the weak. It knows no time. Slavery is an institution that may be forced upon a subject. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 Speeches Delivered Throwing Light Upon Slavery Period — The Events Leading Up To and That Inspired the Signing of the Emancipation Proclamation Are Narrated—U. N. I. A. Endeavoring to Carry Out a New Emancipation—Negroes Urged to Free Themselves From Mental Slavery CANNOT DEPEND ON OTHERS TO FREE THEM—MUST STRIKE THE MENTAL BLOW THEMSELVES—ABRAHAM LINCOLN STRUCK THE FIRST BLOW FOR NEGRO FREEDOM AND THE NEGRO MUST STRIKE THE SECOND time if that people remain unprepared and not willing to fight for its own liberty and for its own preservation. The reason why your fathers and minors were held in slavery was because they were not in condition to protect them themselves. They were in a weak and helpless condition at the time when men sought to enslave the weak. Your condition in this age is no different to the condition of 300 years ago when the white man in his search for free labor took our foreparents from the West Coast of Africa. We are as helpless today as a race as our foreparents were 300 years ago in Africa. That means therefore that we are exposed to the same danger today as they were exposed to then. By being weak and helpless one has no advantage, whether you be an individual or a race or a nation but by being strong whether you be an individual or race or nation you have a great advantage, because you are able to protect yourself protect your property, and protect your life. Slavery a Condition Forced Upon the Weak The Universal Negro Improvement Association therefore desires as this time to impress upon the 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States as well as upon the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world that slavery is not a condition peculiar to any one age, but slavery is a condition forced upon a people not sufficiently able to protect or defend themselves, and so long as a race or people expose themselves to the danger of being weak no one can tell when they will be reduced to slavery. You and I at this moment are as exposed to become slaves even as our fathers were fifty-eight years ago in America—as our forefathers were exposed 200 or 300 years ago in Africa. What would prevent it if the President of the United States at this minute should call a session of Congress and say that I feel that we should no longer allow the 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States to exercise the right of freedom and that we should return them to slavery? What would prevent it—half hour after, the edict is given every Negro in America to be reduced to slavery as our forefathers were for hundreds of years? Because we are in the same defenseless condition. In England, if the king called together his Parliament and said: "We shall no longer allow the Negroes in the British Empire to exercise their right of freedom" and forthwith they would be reduced to slavery. You will find a condition of slavery imposed upon the defenseless and helpless, and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is calling upon Negroes everywhere to prepare themselves for their own preservation for their protection, for their own defense. You will say that the only defense we need is education. That is one of the means of defense, but that is only one, it takes many to put you in a position to completely protect and defend yourself. When man was created into the world he was created under different conditions and environments and circumstances as we see him today. Man, for his own reason, has improved upon the creation that God Almighty originally gave him, the result is that man no longer depends upon his personal physical ability to defend himself. Man has become so hateful to his brother man has become so jealous of his brother, man has become so envious and malicious toward and brother that man no longer seeks protection of self by his own individual person, but man as you see him today has surrounded himself with all kinds of implements of destruction by which he will be put in a better position to defend himself against the unslaught of his brother, and the fellow who remains as nature created him is a poor fellow in this twentieth century. the fellow who remains with his naked hands and naked body as given him is an unfortunate fellow in twentieth century civilization because the other fellow has resorted to other means of protection and self-preservation. And when you look at the white man today you will find him in the one respect just as you find Negroes—just a human being, but as a human being he has brought into the world things by which he can look to for protection—things beyond the physical power in himself, and the race that does not seek to protect itself in such a way opens itself to any abuse, opens itself to any advantage. And that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is making an effort for a higher and greater national ideal, because you will see it written everywhere—you will find it agitated everywhere among all races and peoples—independence of nationality. Independence of government. It is the means of protecting not only the individual, but the group. And up to the present time, although we have been emancipated in America for fifteenth years, and although we have been emancipated in the West Indies for eighty-five years, we have made—outside of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, very little effort if any at all toward that greater ideal of nationhood. Nationhood is the only means by which any modern civilization can completely protect itself. And it is for that object that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is struggling for the 400,000,000 Negro of the world. You and will never be able to understand the THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY FOR THE U. N. I. A. IN INDIANAPOLIS, IND Dr. Maloney Speaks on the Philosophy of Garveyism and Answers Dr. Bagnall very or any other abuse until you and I stand independently as a great national entity among the other nations and races of the world. So the appeal at this anniversary of fifty eight years of emancipation of the American Negro goes out from Liberty Hall to the Negroes throughout this country and throughout the world to take on a realization of the fact that slavery can be imposed upon a people at any time when they are so weak or to be unable to protect themselves and we are in such a condition now. Talk about the love of Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln had no better love for the Negro than, an) other white man. Abraham Lincoln was purely a white man, like all other white men. But, unlike some other white men. Abraham Lincoln had sense enough to use occasions to certain advantage at certain times, and at that time it was to his advantage to liberate Negroes and he did so, otherwise he would have been a big fool and not the great President of the United States. He did just what any sensible man would have done under the circumstances. He did what I would do now. If something should happen whereby I found that the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world could get restoration of Africa by my paying or doing something I would or do it. For instance the lifting of the German indemnity would free the German man people from paying their obligations. 11. 27 19. I desire to record what by common consent is regarded in Indianapolis as the beginning of a new day for Garveyism in these sections. This new day was ushered in by a speech on the "Philosophy of Garveyism," delivered before the men of the city on last Sunday afternoon. Just a word if you will, regarding the setting. The monster meetings are winter Sunday afternoon gatherings of men under the auspices of the local Y M C A. These meetings bring together from three to eight hundred men-upstanding men of the race—to listen to the best minds of the nation on the vital issues of the day. They have men like Kelly Miller Dickson, Bagnall, Dr C A V Roman, Carter Woodson, Isaac Fisher, Pezavin O'Connell, James Weldon Johnson, Bishop Jones, President Gregg, Dr Lucas John Hope, Mordecail Johnson A L. Jackson, Dr Mooreland, Dr Duffield, who come here from Sunday to Sunday to keep our men informed on matters affecting the race. The institution, to my most certain knowledge has tried more than once, but successfully, to secure Mr Garvey himself. But on last Sunday Dr Maloney, well known to all Negro World leaders, was engaged to speak, and the subject he was asked to bring to the men was an analysis of the Garvey movement. And let me tell you, Mr. Editor, it is the consensus of opinion in Indianapolis that this was one of the greatest speeches ever delivered on the race question at the local Y M C A. running through a series of sixteen seasons. For one hour and fifteen minutes the gifted thinker and orator analyzed and explained the essentials of the movement. He handled without sentimentality or fear every phase of the movement, he compared it critically with other movements like the National Equal Rights League, Friends of Negro Freedom and the N. A. A. C. P., he differentiated between incidentals and fundamentals. And, to cap the climax, after an hour and a quarter of heroic achievement he allowed the audience fifteen minutes to ask direct questions. It would have done your heart good. Mr. Editor, to have heard his ready responses and the reaction produced thereby upon the audience. Dr. Maloney accomplished a rare feat in oratory. He lifted an audience of indifferent, prejudiced and hostile folks to the mountain's top of conviction and conversion. And now the stage is set for a great Garvey tidal-wave, if from headquarters one or two strong men could be sent out to Indianapolis to organize these converts to the cause. Incidentally, Mr. Bagnall, who addressed the gathering two weeks previously, was present and seated upon the platform. Of course, Bagnall had laid a barrage on the U. N. I. A. But in his very presence he had the (to him) unpleasant experience of seeing the barrage lifted and disintegrated in quick order by the penetrating logic of Dr. Malonay. Bagnall asked a few questions, too, but no sooner than he arose Dr. Malonay mowed him down with the sharp mow of his furious pressure. He saw, he said, the defensible whimsy general. The hindering power of the mow was JUST THE PLACE FOR YOU ATTEND THE REGULAR THURSDAY NIGHT RECEPTION AND BANQUET AT THE PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL 3-13 West 136th Street, New York City Good Music, Good Environment.

If by my asking I would get the freedom of Africa I would do just now and the termina would say Survey was the great librarian of the trier man people. But what was the thought behind it? It was not my consideration for the trier man people. It was the greater advantage that would come to me and the race I represent. So Abraah Lincoln saw the advantage ofaving the Union, and he therefore liberated the players as the only means of doing So you will realize now and always that no one can have you as much as you do yourself. Therefore do not expect that mother. Although Lamar迪 is going to come along to liberate us from the new slaves we are tut, but we are in a worse slavery than the slavery of fifty-eight years ago, because fifty-eight years ago our father did not know better. Being slaves they were so ignorant that they believed that to be a slave was a divine right and that their masters had some divine privilege by which they could keep them in the condition of slavery and servitude. The Negro was ignorant of his rights and therefore he was to a great extent not responsible for his condition and for his status. So we have a great amount of sympathy for him in that way. But what of the man of today? The man of today of the Negro two is educated to the benefit of civilization, is educated to the right. A NEW DAY FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS, IND. The Philosophy of Garveyism Dr. Bagnall We here in these pages do not know the East's estimate of DA Maloney, but from this post of vantage we look upon him as the mental superior of a host of so-called leaders in eloquence and in mentality. Recipe (fully yours) A B. WIMPERLEY Ex-President Indianapolis, Ind Division CAN YOU DRIVE Do You Know the Details Would You Like to Be feur and of man is educated to the brotherhood of the human race. And even thought we have this knowledge, what do we find? We find that we are in but a very little improved condition. The man who had not that knowledge fifty-eight years ago, because outside of our being able to the in our homes, outside of our being able to wear our own clothes outside of our being able to attend to our own business we have not made much improvement on the slave of fifty-eight years ago, because we are still of the mercy of the white man, we are still subject to his dictation, and if a man in New York says tomorrow morning to the Negro, I do not want you in my factory" or to the Negro woman. I do not want you in my kitchen we will be as badly off as when they liberated the slaves fifty-eight years ago and they had nowhere to go. When they emancipated the slaves 25 years ago some of them did not want freedom because they had no whites to go; they had no clothes to put on they had no homes to go to. If the white folks turned us out of jobs today we will we be? We will be in the same condition they were then. It shows that we have got improved. We may look a little more tiny because we wear better clothes, even though we do not pay for them, we live in better homes, even though we cannot pay the rent. So that we have not improved much on the slave of 25 years ago because we are still a dependent people, and a dependent people have never been respected anywhere and our slavery becomes the worse because we have the same knowledge that the white man has, therefore it will make us more dissatisfied by knowing our rights, and even in the dissatisfaction we cannot help ourselves. And why? Because we ourselves have accepted what the other man has led us to believe, that we have no rights outside of the rights he is willing to hand out to us, that there is no life beyond the life he has had out for us. A New Emancipation The Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring to carry out a new emancipation—a mental emancipation to free your minds from the slavery of alien races and alien people. No tonight, in leaving Liberty Hall and going out to the world, we ask that you depend no longer upon another Abraham Lincoln for the new emancipation because if Abraham Lincoln was able to free and out the shackles that held us us surely there is no Abraham Lincoln beyond Christ who can free. So that we may not expect man emancipation in this new era we undergo great work. The son who can free the mind is the vidual himself because he has of his own mind—that right his Almighty gave in every man a master of his own will destiny the architect of his Creativity and no man can free him without a mental slave to someone else. He is the one who must strike the menta blow himself. At this mil- versal Negro improvement is calling upon the lab use not the pen Abrah- used six years ago that slaves free, but I must eat your own will to set free and mentality, and when you that your body and soul and you will become a M.

He has brilliant literary scholarship and social gifts, gifts that fit him for literary and social leadership but not for mass leadership or racial leadership. We believe that Dr Du Bois is sincere. We don't believe that he is selfish. We do not believe that he is envious or rebellious of Marcus Garvey or hates him. We believe however that he thinks that he is an Aristotle, a Lord Bacon, a Leibnitz, and a Sir Isaac Newton rolled in one and that it is the duty of one possessing such a highly organized brain, such a superior order of intelligence to rule with his Jovian wisdom from the Olympian heights of his august omniscience his benighted black brethren and sisters in the vale below. He is brilliant along his particular line but his wisdom is not as vast, far-reaching and unsearchable as is the wisdom of the Almighty. The members of the N A V A P cannot sing on him. Du Bois is yet human and down on the earth. After he shuffles off his mortal coil, joins the choir invisible, communes with Archangels Michael and Gabriel, enters into the counsels of the Almighty and looks down from the heights of glory upon these terrestrial shores he may see things sub specia aernitatis, but at present he is a vertebrate animal of the genus homo, a thinking biped, brilliant, artistic, aristocratic and poetic, but still human and liable to err. GREECE, ROME AND AFRICA CARNARVON'S excavation of the tomb of Brian King, Tut-Ankhamen, is one of the great history of archaeology. The historical agog about it and will be for years.

LORD CARNARVON'S excavation of the tomb of the ancient Egyptian King, Tut-Ankhamen, is one of the greatest events in the history of archaeology. The historical and scientific world is all agog about it and will be for years. is known of the Negroes who lived in the time of Tut-Ankhamen and next door to him. Why, for instance, have Greece and Rome come down to us, while the names of ancient Ethiopians are not even known? The answer is—education. Greece and Rome and Egypt stamped themselves upon our brains by the written word. Suppose the Greeks had not known how to write. We should never have heard of them. A few mouldy ruins would show that people once lived in Athens, but could tell us nothing about the people. Such was the fate of our noble African ancestors. They did great deeds and reared noble buildings, the formed governments and vast empires. But they could not write, they left no literature and their names are dis From Pharaoh's age down to this the Negro has suffered for lack of education mental education Manual education has been his lot. But manual education, however useful leaves no records. The only human thing that endures is the mind. Transmitted to a piece of paper at lives than ends of years after the body is dead and forgotten. Greece and Rome because of their literature, influence a billion more minds than they reached in their lifetime. If the ancient Negroes had known how to write, the modern Negro would receive far more respect than is granted him. Well-meaning folk tell the Negro to let the higher learning alone. His enemies tell him the same thing, and they know what they are doing. They know that as long as we cannot produce a literature he cannot get a hearing from the world, while they keep him voiceless they are tirelessly presenting their side of it, and the world hearing nothing to the contrary, naturally takes their word. Very Negro boy or girl who wants the higher learning should be encouraged. It may not make him talk it may or may not make him especially useful but it puts into his hands the most powerful shield and weapon against his enemies.

[Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column] Address Child Welfare Department Negro World 56 West 52th street New York, N. Y. How to Prepare the Baby's Bottle at Feeding Time The baby a bottle should be taken from the ice box and warmed by standing in a pitcher or small bottle of warm water. The water in the pitcher or bottle must be deep enough to cover the milk in the bottle. Adjust the nipple and shake thoroughly, then test the temperature of the milk by pouring a few drops through the nipple upon the inner surface of the wrist, where it should feel quite warm but never hot, or by pouring a little in a spoon before the nipple is adjusted, but never by putting the nipple in your mouth. Question.—How early can a baby be trained to be regular in its habits?—Mrs. S. T. Answer:A baby's training should begin during the first week of its life. Regularity in feeding and sleeping is essential In the proper care of an infant, and is very easily accomplished. It may be necessary for the first few days to waken the baby to feed it, but this will be too long, for with regular infant invariably the city but marvel at the activity of the State and national government in their efforts to put the K K K out of commission. The alleged murder of two men in Louisiana last August by these hooded cowards has aroused the whole nation and every newspaper in the United States has commented upon it. Self respecting black men are the made to see how little the Negro counts for in the attention of State and national government. If the K K K had killed 50,000 white men a revolution would not be in progress if no Red shamrocks but the killing of 50,000 Negroes creates no more excitement or interest in America, a than would the killing of 50,000 deeps. Take a look in one mirror and see what an American in citizen looks like. But you don't look the same to white men who govern in those who lunch and burn your beetle at stake. LYNCHINGS FOR THE YEAR 1922 Editor of the Negro World Dear Sir - I send you the following concerning lynchings for the past year as compiled at Tuskegee Institute in the department of records and research. Monroe *N* Work in charge. I find not including those killed in stitches, note, etc., that there were 57 persons lynched in 1922. This is seven less than the number 64 for the year 1921. Thirty of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 11 from jails and 17 from officers of the law outside of jails. I also find that there were 58 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Fourteen of these instances were in Northern States and 44 in Southern States. In 54 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards were augmented or other precautions taken. In the four other instances armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In ten instances convictions carrying penitentiary sentences were secured against alleged lynchers. Of the 57 persons lynched in 1923, 51 were Negroes and 6 were whites; 19, or one-third of those put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape; 6 of the victims were burned to death; 4 were put to death and then their bodies burned. The charges against those burned to death were; Murder, 2; rape, 4. The offenses charged against the whites were: Murder. 2: fighting. 1: charges not reported. 2. The offenses charged against the Negroes were: Murder. 9: murderous assault. 4: rape. 15: attempted rage. 5: killing officer of the law, 3, horse stealing, 2; being intimate with women, 5, no special charge, 2, killing man in altercation, 1; striking man in quarrel, 1, robbing and striking a woman, 1, cattle stealing, 1, using insulting language, 1, for being a strike breaker, 1, mistaken identity, 2, indecent exposure of person and frightening woman and children, 1; intimidating officer of the law, 1 The nine States in which lynchings occurred and the number in each State are as follows Alabama, 2, Arkansas, 5 Florida 6, Georgia, 11 Louisiana, 8 Mississippi 9, Oklahoma, 1, South Carolina, 1, Tennessee, 2, Texas, 18. Very truly yours, R R. MOTON. Principal Tuskegee Institute, Ala. BOOK NOTES It is interesting to get the critic's idea of criticism, to have him tell us, in colloquial parlance, "what he thinks he is doing" in his critical work Especially interesting is it to know just what a critic thinks he's up to—given work—and if he happens to the man of whom Heywood Bro says, "If there's a better critic literature of the past generation the F. L. Pattee I don't remember him"—why, then we believe it is distinctly worth while to pass on to our readers a Century Co book note in which they quote his own description of his latest book, "Sidelights on American Literature." The essays on O Henry and H L Mencken, of which he speaks, have by the way provoked a good deal of comment, including a generously good-tempered—but, we are told, quite unpleasant letter from Mencken himself. See a Prof. Dartree. It is in reality a study of contemporary conditions. The first essay deals with O Henry but it is a study of more than O Henry himself. It diagnoses what may be called 'O Henryism'. The second essay is a study of Jack Londonism, and the third essay taking Mencken as its typical figure, discusses the state of criticism at the present time, or at least one growing phase of it. The paper on Mary E Wilkins shows the effects of the times upon one who began strangely but who ended as a contributor to the Woman's Home Companion. There is a paper on the failure of the war to produce a poet, Philip Frenneau being used as an illustration of what might have been. The paper on Longfellow would seem at first not to be timely, but its intent to show why so much American poetry has lacked robustness. The paper on Bryant was called out by the fact that we are now celebrating the centennial years of his earliest distinctly work and therefore the centennial years of American poetry. The condition of New England after three centuries of Puritan domination I have shown both in the paper on Miss Wilkins and that on 'The Epic of New England'. John Bennett's favorite child—the public's favorite among his books, at least—is "Master Skylark"; but another juvenile of his, "Barnaby Lee," has just received a ninth printing, says the Century Company. When the youngsters decide that they like a book the do pass on the news in a way that would prolong the "average expectation" of life for novels to about double if adults were an loyal and an eager to share. The same publishers ask us to note a twentieth printing of Ralph Henry Barbour's "The Crimson Sweater." "The Convalescents," by Charles F. Nirdlinger, whose writing has previously been mostly dramatic, will be published by the Century Company some time in January. It is described as a novel that strikingly reveals the peculiar world of the hospital from the point of view of the patient. It is, however, with all its hints of death and pain and tragedy, said to be a decidedly light-toned novel full of wit and laughter. It will unquestionably be discovered. Its publishers think, that it is a picture of one particular world famous hospital. But a chief interest of this novel is declared to be the style in which it is written: as austere as a telegram, in the description. The editors of the Century Company calculate that for every word in the novel, two were left out, which a more conventional writer would have used. The scheme, the publishers claim, is plainly not in this case any futurist perversity, but evidently a genuine and a successful effort at the most direct possible convexion of thought. Quaker passive resistance, Irish boycott, Indian non-co-operation, socialist, internationalist, humanitarian, conscientious objection to war, the industrial strike and lockout; all these, as well as the Christian, Buddhist and Confucian versions of "resist not evil" are gathered into the study Professor Clarence M Case of the University of Iowa has made of "Non-Violent Coercion," which the Century Co. will publish January 18.

It is the message of the moment, meant only for the class room at the time and not a step in any crusade. All through the entire period of my professorship in the law department of Howard University—on account of the scholarly limitations of the great majority of our law students. I lost no opportunity to help them by timely observations upon the social sciences—language, art, education, humanism, family life—with its sacred privileges, services and confidences and political and economic life—the principles of which found practical expression and force in the law of the land. I did all I could to aid these young people, and my classes were always hungry for more. Every Man's Life a Poem I enjoyed both your editorials and reviews more than I can briefly express.

DARK-HUED DEPUTY LOSES PLEA FOR SIKI French Chamber Votes Down Motion to Cut Sport Allowance in Reprisal PARIS, Nov 30.—Before the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon Deputy Diagne, Battling Sikh's follow countryman from Senegal, made his protest against disqualification of the black fighter and his deprivation by the Boxing Federation of the title of champion. The Deputy's motion to reduce appropriations for the encouragement of sport, which he used as a peg to hang his speech on, was defeated by a large majority, but he himself had no little success, and there is no doubt that he has helped greatly the cause of his countryman. He had not gone to the Tribune in order to make an incident. Diagne declared, but in the national interest and in the true interest of sport. Neither did he treat the subject as a race question—that would be beneath his dignity. He was there to protest against the spirit of partiality which had been shown in certain sporting organizations. He was out for clean sport. To a strong accompaniment of cheers, M Diagne denounced the idolatry of the public for all boxing champions, white or black, and in bitter surcasm he added: "So much is that the case that if Carpentier had not been beaten, there are many who would have demanded the cross of the Legion of Honor for this champion of fastcuffs." Right from the start the speaker declared that an attempt had been made to deprive Sikit of his rights. The referee did not want to give him the decision, and ever since a campaign has been going on against him. He was accused of having celebrated his victory too freely in the cafes of the city. Blames White Civilization Blames White Civilization "That means nothing more than that he has too quickly become accustomed --- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 to the habits of your civilization," said the black Deputy. "When the white man does it nobody protests." Siki was accused of scandalous behavior and of having struck the referee in a boxing match, the speaker went on, "but was that sufficient ground to take from him not only his title but the means of livelihood of a man 38 years old" his defender said, adding: "These men, who are as French as you are, though they are of different color, have a right to the same justice as you. When Sikh was asked to make a profitable tour in Germany, he remembered that he was still a Frenchman and refused. That showed his real character." Diagno continued, and the speaker warned his colleagues against stirring up in French Africa the idea that there was a different sort of justice in France for white and black, when both had fought gallantly to defend the nation. The decision of the Boxing Federation, Diagno declared, would have grave consequences among the black masses of Africa. In spite of this warning the Chamber refused the invitation of the Minister of War to serve as a tribune of appeal against the Boxing Federation, and Diagno's motion was defeated, 408 to 136 To the discussion of Sikh's case in the press, learned pens today have added the weight of their opinions. In this country, where color prejudice scarcely exists, judgment is almost entirely confined to the merits of the case, and if Sikh's color has any influence it is rather in favor of than against him. The ordinary man in the street excuses him with the remark that if he were not black he would not have got himself into such a mess by his fool behavior, or, alternatively, if he were not black he would not have been treated so arbitrarily. Some Notable Defenders The color question being thus dismissed, the debate has resolved into a discussion as to whether the Boxing Federation has the right to exclude the champion and take his title from him for reasons of private conduct Among many whose opinions have been sought in interviews is Mile. Suzanne Longlen, who has delivered this judgment "I am very strongly of the opinion that a champion should never be deprived of his title because of conduct not affecting the sport of which he is champion" At the same time Mile. Longlen thinks that a champion ought to behave in his private life in such a way as to prove himself worthy of the public applause he has gained by his prowess. Lucien Gaudin, French foncing champion, holds a different opinion. He says that a championship title may, in his opinion, be taken away from the holder for reasons not connected with sport, but that these reasons must be very grave indeed. If these reasons are definitely proved then the champion should be banished from the company of sp tamen and his title should be open to all comers to contest for. Even in the columns of the Temps Sikl today finds a defender in the person of Paul Souday, one of the most elegant writers of the French press. On the question of principle, says Souday, it seems to him that Sikl and his defender in the Chamber of Deputies have a good deal of right on their side. Even the argument that Sikl's conduct was doing injury to the fair fame of boxing as a sport does not move him. "Whether Sikl has or has not done the things he is accused of," says this scribe, "it is incontestable that he flattened out Georges Carpenter. What could any good conduct certificate add to the power of the muscles he showed men, or to the hardness of the head that took so much punishment? Such a point of view as that of the federation is really rather strange and rather unsporting. What would be said if, on the race track, the judges disqualified the horse which was first past the post because it had once kicked its stable companion or had put out its tongue when passing the house of a rival trainer?"

B. Baker, secretary and acting president of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, said in an address today at a sectional meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Keeping alive the intellectual and spiritual forces of the race he urged as essential to such maintenance. "Is degeneration inevitable?" he asked. "It would be a bold prophet who would say no. But to answer it in the affirmative means the acceptance of a form of fatalism that will ultimately bring with it a decline in human confidence and effort. Optimism is an essential in the conservation of our present stock of human energy. "The energy of the race can be conserved only through new ideas, new discoveries and the application of these discoveries." Pointing out the dangers of mob dictation as it thrustled original thinking during the Middle Ages, Dr. Baker said. "I cannot refrain from mentioning as recent samples of medievalism the fight of Bryan to stifle freedom of thought in the field of science, and the efforts of the Ku Klux Klan to reduce the country to a state of mob rule." Addressing the American Psychological Association, Dr. Harry D. Kitson, professor of psychology at Indiana University, said that a popular theory that tall men and heavy men made the best salesmen had been disproved by scientific analysis of the earnings of 600 salesmen.

But the war came and saved the situation. The Negro made lots of money, but what did they do? They forgot the tight corner they were in before the war, and with that cussed carelessness that is so characteristic of the race they plunged headlong into a life of riotous living and never gave a thought to the future. But we have discovered that the greatest block in the way of this disease is the Negro himself. He rejoins heed the danger sign, and you what happens to motorists when they regard the signs at those crosses, my friend, it means death, with the race.

Do you see the point? Now let us see if we can tell why these things are so. I think we can very easily throw light on the subject. The Japanese gets all the protection that he is entitled to because he has a mighty army and navy that will seek every redress for him through the government at home. On the other hand the Negro gets no protection, for the the simple reason that he has no army, no navy, no government to look after his interest, and so no one cares a row of pins for his safety. Do you see the reason now why the two races are treated differently? Isn't it time now for us to wake out of sleep and get together and do something for ourselves? Surely the time is fully ripe for action, and that is why this movement is working night and day to achieve something. We again take this opportunity to warn Negroes of the danger ahead. Now that you are finding work, save your hard-earned cash, for a rainy day is surely coming. We are unprepared to carry on successfully and we require same leadership to show the way that the rank and file may be properly guided. There is no better leadership than that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under Marcos Garvey, the Moses of the race today. G. R. CHRISTIAN. Columbus, Nov. 18.

A desired home of refuge To a travel-wearied man Is my old home town that nestled On the green hills of Saint Ann When my soul is overburdened With the dreary cares of life, When I fear that I will falter And must perish in the strife. In some sweet, secluded corner I recline and take a trip By the railroad of Remembrance Or Imagination's ship To that place where in my boyhood I would long to be a man— Santa Gloria, that nester On the green hills of Saint Ann Dear Point Olivet's fair homestead, By the old naseberry tree, Just below the big grape arbor, With that wondrous view to sea, Was my favorite spot of garden, Shaded from the noonday sun— Oftentimes I live there reading Till the day was almost done, "Ivanhoe," "Sir Nigel Loring." "Sailors" Yarns of Yucatan". On such mental food I feasted Years ago in old Saint Ann How my young imagination Dreamt about the coming time And the laurels I would win as Up the dizzy heights I'd climb! Fame and wealth I knew were certain And the joys that they could bring. Those were days when sheer existence Made me lift my voice and sing. Those were days before my travels Out into the world began. Ere I left my earthly heaven On the green hills of Saint Ann. O land of woods and waterfalls, Of moonlit nights enthralling. Here in the cold and cheerless North I here you softly calling To yonder sweet remembered scenes, To faces bright and sunny. To blossoms sweet whence busy bees Are sucking nectar honey. Your tropic blood stir in my veins, And the ocean's but a span Creatively my restless spirit leaps to the green hills of Saint Ann. Now feel my strength returning, Now my courage is renewed. Once again I am pursuing Where before I was pursued; Vanished is my melancholy, Buoyant once more is my tread, Back among the vibrant living Comes a spirit almost dead, For the confidence of boyhood Nerves with steel the tired man When I travel back in fancy To the green hills of Saint Ann NOW DOTH APPROACH THE END OF MY CAREER By J. H. DONALDBON Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa Now doth approach the end of my career. I soon shall find that sleep the change doth give. But when awaked, as here, I'll fight on there. For when I'm gone, I'll just begin to live. Now when in death my mortal self doth sleep. The "I" shall be ascending day by day; For when in darkness pent I'll cease to creep. But guided by the LIGHT shall see my way. I'm slowly, ah, but surely fading now, My sojourn's like a transitory lay; One's time allotted here, is brief some- how. But is ETERNAL in the perfect day. Now when the clock has struck my final hour. Weep not for me, dear friends, nor say I'm dead. But by the Grave of God's uplifting power. Know ye the truth; all's well where I'll have fled. ELEASED Indian Q. R. S. Rolls CARNIVAL OF 1922 ALTZ h-By Mail $1.10 THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 Ethiopia Holds Out Her Hand and Would Not Be Comforted Because They Are Not BY MRG. W WALDRON PITT, OF NEW YORK Fellow women of Ethiopia, greetings. Again I extend to you a New Year message. Trusting at this time you are 100 per cent resolute. Taking once more the opportunity of waving a signal of encouragement as the year is passing and going into oblivion may all our little troubles, sorrows, disappointments and failures pass on, too. And we start the New Year again with fresh courage, strength and vigor. May new thoughts and ideas to do better for our organization inspire and guide us. This is our organization, we have sacrificed too much for us to be ignored and in turn give up. Let us pass the illiteracy by, we have failed in some of our great efforts, through no fault of our own. But let us start all over again for our coming generation's sake with new methods, with the ambition to scale the heights while others sleep. We may have great mountains to remove, but work, faith and courage will do it all. Let us, the women, force our way through the crowds. Others will surely follow. We have started something that cannot be laid aside, it matters not what happens, until the sun-crowned summit is reached. Therefore let us pursue, never falter, until our desired haven we see. Other than that this noble race of ours will be put under eternally. Pursuing, building up, the race gives thought to health and birth rate, pursuing, by giving thought to economic advancement, pursuing, by contributing to industrial enterprise, etc. Then and only then will we find ourselves gradually restored to the joy of our salvation. Though within our own ranks and race we have great battles to fight with the enemies who are standing in the way of our progress. Let us, nevertheless, in the spirit of our noble Negro Queen of Abyssinia, who armed herself, went out and led her army against the enemies, came back with sweeping victory, do likewise. Women of the U. N. L. A., aren't we Ethiopian women? Why can't we strive and achieve and push the wagon along? No race can rise higher than its women, or rise without them. Therefore, let us be a moving factor and the centre of attraction by our renewed efforts and enthusiasm. To achieve success, we must be resolute and determined. Failure at this important period of the development of Ethiopia means death to us all. Therefore, again, I am appealing to Ethiopia's millions to co-operate. Let us stand with our backs to the wall and our chests to the rail and pull with supreme efforts to the rope of time. Let our motto be, "Ethiopia for the Ethiopians," in order that she may be built and restored to her glory which was and this struggling race of ours be successfully established once more on the banks of the River Nile. ETHIOPIA Ethiopia holds out her hands With iron bands. And would not be comforted. Because we are not. Ethiopia, we are of thee. Oh, thou sweet land of liberty. When shall thy sweet arms embrace Thy children so long to see thy sweet face. Ethiopia, our dear mother's land. To those who have torn us from thy breast. Ethiopia's brave and noble women. New thought and courage take. And lift the banner with higher rate, Until the golden sun-rays break. In this Africa service. We must not fear to go. Nor should we fear to follow. Because our Lord is guide. Ethiopia's day her song will sing, My prayer went on the morning wings, Jehovah with one triumphant swing. Burst the great bar my peoples redeem ROSE OF SHARON Rose of Sharon, sweet and dear, Full of beauty, full of cheer; Clothed in smiles, with vigor blest; Of all roses thou art best. Foes advance and foes retire. But your flight is always highor— Soaring in the balmy blue. Feasting on the falling dew. Lovely muses churn thy charm With their mindful airs of balm, Maldives soothe the softened brow Juno and the graces bow. Satyrs leave their work and pay Sacred homage all the day. Shepherds to the downs repair, Cupid breathes upon thy hair. When I see thee in the morn, Waving over the cruel thorn, Praises to my God I give For the harmless life you live. When from thee I have to part Sorrow fills my longing heart, And the burning teardrops clear When I do not see you blear. LINGOLN AND HOWARD—THEIR ILLUSTRIOUS GRADUATES By WM. H. FERR16 The growth of race pride and race confidence on the part of Americans of African descent is evidenced by the fact that the alumni of Lincoln University are clamoring for recognition upon the Trustee Board of the school, and that the alumni of Howard, who have some representation upon the Trustee Board, are clamoring for a larger representation and for a larger participation in shaping the policies and destinies of the university. Three things add to the prestige and standing of a university the reputation and character of men on the faculty, the type and kind of men who form the rank and file of the student body, and the achievements of the alumni. As to whether the alumni are justified in asking for representation on the Trustee Board and for more active participation in the affairs of the university depends upon their ability character and efficiency. Lincoln and Howard have turned out many men of color whose record has been credible to themselves, their Alma Mater, and our race. Among the eminent men graduated from Lincoln may be mentioned the following Authors and Publicate Archibald H Grimke United States consul to Santo Domingo, author of "Life of Wm Lloyd Garrison" and "Life of Charles Sumner" and president emeritus of the American Negro Academy. Clergymen Dr Francis G J Grimke, eminent an clergyman, theologian and pamphleteer, Dr Walter H.

Atkinson, Member of Congress, Governor of West Virginia and Judge of Court of Claima. 10. Emma M. Gillett, dean of Washington School of Law and one of its founders. These two last named are whites, graduating in those days when Howard was holding fast to nobler ideals. 11. Prof. Wm. H. Richarda, eminent teacher, librarian and encourager of young men. ing funds for the law school in the early days, and who caused the Maryland Jim Crow law to be declared inapplicable for interstate passengers From the Normal Department a George H Rankin, commonwealth attorney and M C b.

He spent one or two years in Athens in the study of Greek, which he was teaching at the time of his death. William A Sinclair, author of "Aftermath of Slavery" eighty thousand copies of which issued from the press, built the Andrew Rankin chapel and the president's home, raised $67,000 for scholarships and for twenty years kept before the American people the idea of higher education of the Negro whenHooker's influence was at its height and most withering. Kelly Miller George William Cook William A Tunnell, Josephine Turpin Washington William I Simmons, author of "Men of Mark," founder of a theological seminary and president; of the State University From the Medical Department From the Medical Department William A Warfield, Mattea B Wheentland Of these thirty graduates of Howard University eighteen are favorably mentioned and eleven are discussed at length in the African Abroad. The Negro's Environment This group of forty four distinguished graduates of Lincoln and Howard University (which by no means exhausts the list) contains brilliant preachers, orators, teachers, lawyers, business men physicians and authors but very few who have made a distinct contribution to the world's scholarship. But just as many eminent Americans have made to profound impression upon the world's thought, but have profoundly influenced life and thought in America, so while these eminent Negroes have made no profound impression upon the world's thought, they have profoundly influenced Negro life and thought. The call upon the Negro scholar twenty, thirty and forty years ago was not to advance new conceptions in physical science, sociology, anthropology, ethnology, psychology, theology and philosophy but to solve the broad problem and win recognition for themselves and train educate and lead a race recently emancipated from bondage. Then again in America the scholar and the preacher have bee side-tracked for the millionaire and the politician. That is why there were as many men of the faculty alone of Yale college forty years ago who possessed international fame as there are in Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell and Columbia combined today. That is why there are so few men of statesmanlike caliber in the Senate today. The Negro has likewise been influenced by the Zeit Geist and has undervalued intellectual accomplishments and over valued success, measured in terms of dollars and cents. Scholarship, like a plant, flourishes in a congenial atmosphere. Then again the industriall had put a premium on the training of the land and a ban on the training of the mind for the Negro. But for these things we would have produced more Blydens and Crummells and Dr. Wm. H. Scarborough, A H Grimke, Dr F J Grimke, Prof Kelly Miller, Prof W H H Hart, Prof Wm. H Richards would have ascended higher in the intellectual realm than they did. Then again we must remember that some thirty odd years ago they began to disfranchise and Jim-Crow the Negro in the South, and to rob him of the civil and political rights guaranteed him by the Constitution of the United States. We must remember also that twenty-seven years ago they began to discourage the Negro's higher aspirations and the Negro had not only to fight for his political freedom and for economic opportunity, but for his chance to unfold and develop as a spiritual being who was created out of the dust of the earth, but in the image of God Consequently for the past quarter of a century the Negro scholars have been forced to concentrate their efforts upon vindicating the claims of their race to recognition. But for these things Hon. Archibald H. Grimke might have given to the world a book like Ward's "Dynamic Sociology"; Dr. Frank J. Grimke might have ranked as a theologian with Pfleiderer of Germany and Prof. Kelly Miller might have given the world a book like Karl Pearson's "Grammar of Science" or Polnarec's "Science and Hypothesia," or Einstein's "Relativity." When we consider these adverse economic, political and psychic forces, the economic, political and intellectual achievements of the graduates of Lincoln, Howard and other schools for the higher education of the Negro have been remarkable and indicate that they are eminently fitted to guide the destinies of their Alma Mater as trustees.

DIVISION ADDRESS OF COMMISSIONER S. A. HAYNES, DELIVERED BEFORE THE FIRST STATE CONFERENCE OF U. N. I. A. PRESIDENTS, DECEMBER 10, 1922, NORFOLK, VIRGINIA Mon. President, officers and Members of the L N A Ladies and Gentlemen — In the name of that precious liberty for which Crispus Attu is braved the Red Coats on Boston Common making his name immortal we welcome you to this the first State Conference of Presidents of the L N A in Virginia. As accredited representatives of the people charged with the responsibility of looking after their interests and those of the children we are here in session to visit this even for Sabra a moving first to give thanks to Alma a god for sustaining us thus for second to formulate with His divine guidance a place where we will better care and accrue the sufferings of those we have caused to repress. Ever mindful of the many who who are in authority over us as well as to those who are interested in uplifting of suffer the humanity we taken your presence off of represent a way of the press and as members of the art world that may be neglected in our connections with the right in de- principles we must in order to treat this much more presented orga- tization. In the future you may be the little people who improve Assoc at our office we are found in our Presence. We are ample relics. What are second relics. What are the aime and so are of the city issues. We are our place in the city. And people. This is the program that is now shortened to it, and is used the Negro in the Army and Apaches. This is the program that has brought to the Negro in the Army a new applause. A new applause will be offered over the applause. A hope for a new government is a flag that shall insure his protection from the Arctic in the Arctic Oceans. A loud applause. This is the program that has brought together into one great family three million Negroes the world over under the colors of the Red the Black and the Green—all working together all dying together for the realization of a free and deemed Africa. (Loud applause.) In four years we have demonstrated to the world that what other men have done to Negro can do. We have demonstrated more than once through his own initiative his own ability to own his own generation. We have made our own independence of other. We have in the service of the organization the pride of young men and young women of the race earning work so far from $1 to $35. (Applause.) Hundreds of young men and young women have graduated from high schools and colleges throughout the country have been trained in the master's kitchen the ice and show the unbearable applause of many other menial activities through the activities of the lowest Negro improvement applause. These we have appointed the war for these leaders of tomorrow. Now they can look in the future with a smile and a cheerful heart, to New York to Philadelphia to Boston, to Cleveland to New Orleans and other leading cities and towns and there we find them in our offices and business enterprises as manager clerks, photographers, bookkeepers, contractors private affairs reporters, promoters and agents. But the most striking feature of these compliments is not to be found in the positions these members of the race occupy, not in the glorious service of those who are responsible for creating these positions, but the most striking year, the most remarkable feature of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to be found in the fact that every penny paid out of its treasury for salaries, etc. is being lodged therein by the Negro himself and by no other. (Loud applause.) This organization is a pure Negro on an founded by Negroes financed by Negroes supported by Negroes owned by Negroes and controlled by Negroes for Negroes (Prolonged applause.) Such a program we have brought about to refute the he that the Negro cannot accomplish, anything worthy of recognition without the support the help the tutorship of others. The Universal Negro Improvement Association asks that the Negro he given a chance to demonstrate to the world his administrative ability. He feels that in the space of 100 years he can prove to those concerned that he can present to the world a civilization, a culture, a republic worthy of the highest respect and admiration. This organization is championing the sacred cause of the Negro peoples of the world, who are now desiplised and rejected, tortured and humiliated by a heartless, cruel, unsympathetic multitude. We believe that Right is a noble virtue. Might the greatest of sina. We love all humanity, irrespective of color, class or creed. We preach and put into practice loyalty to all governments and train our members to be good and useful citizenship always ready to serve and defend those to whom they are obligated for whatever privileges they enjoy under their roofs, however small such privileges may be. We believe in self-preservation, nature's first law, and therefore call upon our members everywhere to be dependent upon themselves to strike out on their own initiative for the material things of life to build up industries and commerce that will give employment to their sons and daughters and not to invariably depend on the good will and hospitality of others for a living. We believe in the survival of the finest home we are teaching the Negro to prepare himself for that higher political statuship which is the symbol of greatness and power. We believe that until hatred malice, selfishness, jealousy and greed are banished from human society, in hope for universal peace, to hope for the unimagable. The Universal Negro Improvement Association looks upon the exploitation of Africa and the subjugation of her subjects by the nations of the world as the greatest crimes in Christendom (Cloud applause) (Our war cry) is Africa for the Africans those at home and those abroad. The petition we presented to the sows at Genesee Switzerland in September asking for the return of the finest remnants of their suffering be but the beginning of the civil war in the capital battle since the days of Carriage. The International Negro Improvement Association demands for the Negro peoples of the world not hatred, hatred applause) and until this has been ended to those we represent where we shall continue the battle for our recognition as man and not as dogs (cloud applause). These are our pleads these are our principles. We know no sacrifice too great to make, we know no sacrifice too small to overcome in order that may be easier to characterize the Negro of the twentieth century. Applause) With God as our standard for 400 million Negroes under the colors of the Red the Black and the fierce shall fight for freedom fight for their rights for real democracy fight on until from the thoroughfares and house tops from valley hill and dale from town and hamlet small come the song (Africa Redeemed) (Dollong applause). We have been wilfully represented to the world by selfish narrow-minded, uncultured members of the race as an organization seeking to destroy that friendship which by divine command must ever exist between the various races of mankind, as a movement seeking to repatriate all Negroes to Africa, as a movement antagonistic to the churches and well regulated society, and as an organization that has joined hands with the disreputable Ku Klux Klan. As the ranking representative of the International Negro Improvement Association in the States of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia it becomes duty to fute these traitorous charges and to dismiss them as the disastrous attempt of a band of Negro conspirators to hold their sons and daughters in eternal bondage and to defeat the code of justice (Applause). We desire to state however, that the propaganda posed on foot to discredit Marcus Curtis and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is but a continuation of the fight that has been going on for Negro leadership ever since conspiracy. Some of those who unsuccessfully fought Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington are now lined up against Marcus Garvey and the N. A. A. But this time historians will have a more thrilling story to unfold to their students because truth and justice stand the test of time. falsehoods can stand the revelations of time and no inhumanity can outwat the justice of God. Time and God will finally settle all problems in harmony with the fundamental principles that control the universe (Applause). Through the avenues of education, labor and sacrifice we intend to organize the 400 000 000 Negroes of the world into one great common brotherhood with one God'. One aim! And one destiny! (Applause.) We intend to bring about a great African commonwealth worthy of the steel of our vavant progenitors. Through the power and influence of this commonwealth we intend to break down the barriers of oppression and injustice, unlose the damnable shackles of thraldom from our physical body, extricate our minds and thoughts from racial and national selfishness; and dedicate our lives, our all, to the fostering of that Christianity born of Christ. (Loud Applause.) Through these avenues we hope to return to the Negro in foreign climes that consciousness of racial duty which he knowingly, innores under the tutelage of self-styled friends and guardians. On this account he has committed to the dust the ties that bind him to his brother, his race and his motherland. Africa. The vicious propaganda so ruthlessly waged by others, backed up by a civilisation forced upon him under the circumstances, is largely responsible for this situation, but—Greece had her Alexander, Carthaginia had her Hannibal, yes, proud Rome had her Caesar; imperial Germany, had her Bismarck, old England had her Hampden, chivalrous France had her Lafayette, Old Glory had her Washington; thank God, bleeding Africa has found her Marcus Garvey. (Voicifer applause.) Honest and sincere leadership has never found favor with those who would exploit the ignorant masses. Marcus Garvey is admired. Marcus Garvey is feted wherever he goes because he brings to the Negro peoples of the world that leadership for which THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY.

True greatness is to be found in one service to suffering humanity and, since the institution is an hostile as the blow, we shall insure the greater progress of humanity by casting out from our own rank and file those who seek to bring about a condition as grave as that which marked the historic days of Marius and Sylia. God still lives, and that is why we who pine for complete emancipation can see as it was the star which guided those who were men from the East to Bethlehem on that eventful Christmas morning guiding in this twentieth century another band of pilgrims—not to Bethlehem for the Christ has been found and Christianity has triumphed. The star this time is guiding this band of twentieth century pilgrims back to the land of their forefathers. As the brilliant rays of this star moke the eye to the eye the inspiring color of the Red, the Black and the Green symbol of the Negro's determination to aspire to the realm of nationhood maintaining a government that shall make the life of a Negro, whether he lives in Greenland or the South Sea Islands, as costly as that of any other person who breathes the breath of life (Loud applause). In conclusion let me say this. The Negro of today is not the Negro of yesterday who returned a smile for a kick, a low for a blow, and a prayer for a life snuffed out by an infurred mob. The Negro of today is alive to the fact that he is an integral part of the great human family, entitled by Divine right to share in the freedom the comfort the wealth and privileges of that family. He is not going to ask any longer to return to him the seat that has been removed from the family table, but he is going in search of the trespasser and bring him to justice (Applause). The Negro of today, as represented by the Universal Negro Improvement Association is as serious as the times, and, in his seriousness, he has but one timely warning to give those who take pleasure and delight in insulting and degrading the dignity, the honor of his race, he has but one solemn warning to give those who take pleasure and delight in destroying the sanctity of Negro womanhood. What a man sow that also shall be reap' (Prolonged applause.) SANTIAGO NEWS By H. STONEWALL JACKSON December 20, 1922 Since the removal of the division back to our old Liberty Hall, 33 Trocha, this division is shining up a bit, we are having very likely mass meetings and though few in number of active members, yet it bids fair for progress. At our meeting on Sunday, December 10, we listened to an interesting discourse by our president, Leah A. Green, on the topic of "Regenerate." We also had a brave address from our gallant ex-captain, C. E Argold. He exhorts us to be brave and fight against the enemies of our division so that we may be able to assist our noble leader to put the program of a free and redeemed race over. Our African heir of eight summers, Miss Edna Francis, is braving the audience with her solos and recitals with more zeal than ever She sang "Jesus Bids Us Shine." Miss Elvira Ferguson is again in her splendor She sang "There Were Ninety and Nine." Our melodious high octave solist, Miss L. Miller, surely enlivened us with a song, "Press On." We have offer our tenderest greetings to the young lady. Mr George Rawlins has again made another step forward. He sang "Onward Christian Soldiers." After all this a most enjoyable evening was spent. HIGH COMMISSIONER C. H. BRYANT ADDRESSES THE LA AFRICA BRANCH --- On November 25 and 26 the La Africa Branch U N I A, was greatly stirred by three interesting meetings on the stair of the Hon Charles H Bryant who was recently made commissioner for Costa Rica Panama and Nicaragua. The commissioner notified the branch of his coming to lecture. He arrived on the first above date according to notice and had a gathering which was unusual. The hall was nicely decorated. According to the time appointed for the meeting, the friends gathered as never before anxiously awaiting the commissioner. As he entered the door the choir rose with a greeting song of welcome. The presiding officer, Mr D Howard, president Mr H Bellman vice-president, W B Leurs, secretary, Mrs L Barnea, president of the Ladies Division, were seated on the platform. The president opened the meeting with the usual hymn. From Greenland a Iey Mountains followed by a welcome address. A song was rendered by the choir. The president introduced the honorable commissioner who on arising was greeted with applause. After a short preface of commission he said, I would like to be taught the hymn for the President General, which must be known in all branches. A short practice was given, to be continued during the series of meetings. The commissioner then gave an inspiring address, which kept his audience spellbound with rapt attention for over an hour. The audience was deeply interested in the tidings of the third international convention. After he resumed his sent a song was rendered to the choir, entitled Tidings. A address was given by Mrs. G. allowed by a song by the choir. The collection a solo by Mrs. G. beautifully rendered. The presse gave a short address, expressing the friends for their good turn out. The commissioner staged two meetings for the following day. Sunila at the 25th at 4 and 5 p.m. The meeting closed with a short practice of the hymn for the President General. The benediction was then pronounced. The friends retaliated to their respective homes quite refreshed. The following day, Sunday, the 5th at 4 p.m. the second meeting was called, when the gathering was quite ceaseless with all officers present as before. The chaplain, Mr McMahon opened the meeting with the usual hymn and before the hymn was finished the ball was again packed more so than at the first meeting, while the necessary part of the ritual was read. The chaplain turned the meeting over to the president. After a short address the eloquent speaker was introduced. He received great applause. As he stood he handed two leaflets to the secretary, which were read before the audience, bearing on his authority. He then asked for the new hymn for the President General which was beautiful sung, with all voices blended together. He again electrified the hall with his eloquent address, which kept his hearers eyeball for over an hour without the least sound. One hymn was sung, "Onward (Creation Soldier), while the collection was lifted after which the meeting was dismissed with the Dorsolog. The third meeting of 19pm occurred on a pleasant gathering. While waiting the audience entertained itself with some beautiful songs during which time the commission appeared. As he approached the door he was carried by the president to his chair. The meeting was opened by the chairman, Mr. McDonald, with an open hymn and the necessary part of the ritual was read with all officers present as before. The meeting was opened to the president who after making brief remarks, turned the meeting over to the commissioner to raise his received applause. As he looked he asked for the new honor for the President General. All voices blended together joyfully and sang as if they would burst the roof. The commissioner then proceeded and delivered an interesting address which kept his hearers spellbound with all attention paid without hearing the least sound for about an hour and a half. After he resumed his sent a song was rendered by the chair while the collection was lifted. The president gave an appropriate address, followed with addresses from all the presiding officers.

A Year's Subscription to the Negro World, Which Is Ordinarily $2.50, and a Copy of Either of the Two Great Negro Books Listed Below for $4.00 The San Francisco Division No. 148, hearing the close of the year of 1922, has gone over the top in its work for the past twelve months. With the dawn of the new year we shall redouble our efforts for the good of this great cause. We feel very proud of the progress that has been made in our division this year. Proud of the honor that has been given to our worthy president, Prof. J. J. Adams, who was sent as a delegate to the third international convention, and now on his way to this city in company with the members of the delegation that has lately arrived in this country from the leagu at Geneva Switzerland. The members and friends of this division will soon have the pleasure of hearing the wonderful report that these worthy men will give on December 30 in this city. We are eagerly looking forward to this visit of these men that have been traveling in the interest of the Negro peoples of the world. At the next convention this division hopes to again send forth a man that will uphold the standards of the Red the Black and the Green. One who will also prove that California is producing great men and women that will one day stand before the world as great leaders of this movement. Mrs. Lula Mors, one of our faithful workers of this division, passed away Monday night, December 11, at the San Francisco Hospital, where she had been ill for several weeks. Mrs. Mors was always loyal and faithful to this work and worked unceasingly in every way that she could. The Black Cross nurses, in their uniforms, acted as pill-bearers, and our beloved friend was laid away to rest with loving hands amid tears for one that was always cheerful and ever willing and ready to help those that were in need of a friend. We are our deepest sympathies to her daughter, Miss Laine Robinson and to her deserter friend, Miss Minnie Jone. The San Francisco Division wishes each and every division a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. LOCIE BROWN. General Secretary No. 148. It opened like Christmas-tide.

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

THE FUND NEWS OF THE DAY (Special To The Negro World) SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26 - Mme. Navile Cochrane Chadwick lyric soprano, of Brooklyn charmed a large and appreciative audience at the A. M. E. Zion Church last Thursday night in her initial appearance before a critical San Francisco audience. Her voice was at its best. Many of the older singers of the race will have to look to their crowns, for the madame is certainly making a strong bid for recognition. With her youth and a great deal of hard work there is no question but that she will ultimately develop into one of the best of any race in the artistic world. She made many friends while here. After a concert at the M. E. church in San Jose, she left for Southern California, where she will give a number of concerts. Many readers of the California Voice were amazed to learn of the internal strife now raging among the stockholders of that publication. The hope has been variously expressed that the whole affair can and will be amicably settled and that the paper will soon pursue the even tenor of its way Under the management and editorial direction of its present management and editor, E. Marshall the Voice has performed a real service for the community and State and it is needless to add, for it is well known to some, that the publication has made its progress solely and largely by unselfishness and a great amount of personal sacrifices upon the part of Marshall One of the features of the extraordinary entertainment and dance to be given by the Negro Progressive Club of California In the Exposition Auditorium January 1 1923 will be the demonstration of folk dances by little 8-year-old Neva Mary Peoples. It is promised that this will be one of the most pleasing of the many spectacular events on the program Full announcement of the program will be made next week Officials of the Negro Progressive Club announced also that there need be no aprehension as to what part of the Exposition Auditorium will be used. It will positively be the main hall. This hall by the way has a seating capacity of 12,000. So it can readily be seen that there will be dancing space for unlimited couples. It was also announced from club headquarters that the advance sale of tickets indicated an attendance of fully 7,000. One of the hardest things to get nowadays is a rise out of some of the political bosses of the city. All activities seem to have shifted to Sacramento. Many rumors of rewards are going the rounds, but they carry nothing definite. It is not known, nor can it be acertained, what is to be done for the black wheel horses. It is also known that in certain quarters certain legislative matters are being worked out, but it was explained that of necessity these things must be kept in a large measure under cover until all the details were worked out. Arrangements have been completed by the Negro Progressive Club to see that every Hunday school child in the city under the age of 12 is given a Christmas token. This work is under the supervision of Mrs. M. E. Dorsay. Now that the Dyer anti-lynching bill has been defeated, one is fearful that the Republicans will have the monumental gall to come to the Negro voters of the country and ask their continued support. Certain high officials some time ago told a representative of this service that as far as this bill was concerned the Republicans were only growing the Negroes of the country a little soo. Many are of the growing opinion that the Republican party, so far as the Negro is concerned, is a dead letter.

MONEY BACK IF NOT BATISFIED All good druggists sell ZURA preparations or mail money order to M. CLEMENCEAU AND THE "BLACK HORROR' By CHARLES CAIN (For the Associated Negro Press) Senator Hutchock like a thousand other politicians with Germans in their constituency has indignantly demanded that M. Clemensau explain the 'Black Horror on the Rhine and M. Clemencau has explained very simply as a dozen other Frenchmen have officially and unofficially that there is no Black Horror on the Rhine that in fact there are no black troops there. Colored folks would prefer to hear that there are black troops on the Rhine, but no black horror. But the Clemencau answer is the most logical the one most easily made. It seems as published beyond proof that there have never been that black troops on the Rhine that they were there have been gone a long time that their record was as good as that of the whites perhaps better and that the protest against their presence amped from Germania to take other Europeans have a friend corner about Africa rather than buttress but from German sympathizers in America who wish to take advantage of American race prejudice. To take Europeans unequivocal denials of the presence of black troops in Germany has been called false by Americans who have been there but the American test mony has been lengthily unreliable. America have chased all Afriata Arabs Herbenga and all—black and unimilated Stricks words to apply to the Semitic Arabs of Morocco and Algeria to the Moors who, sweeping into Europe a few centuries ago found in a land of rule people with a culture inferior to their own. Obviously M. McCormack considered the semantic demands only a green manifestation of American political psychology, really irrelevant to this main purpose in coming to Amer- ica, has chosen the simplest and most disconcerting report. But is the an- relevant question this question of Hitchcock a? I should like to speak to M. Clemens ceasar about this matter. I should like to say. Monsieur American, our country aggressive and militaristic because it maintains armies to protect itself against the crowding populations of Germany and Italy and England. Yes, England and Italy, not that they are now enemies of France, but—there is the future. England has always formed alliances against the leading continental power. France is now the leading continental power. We Americans, who are trying to keep our lands open, to keep plenty to maintain our boasted standard of living against the peaceful immigration of poor and ignorant people from certain overcrowded portions of Europe, we are blaming France because she is prepared to oppose by force possum-warlike immigration from over-populated neighboring lands. Drop your courtesy, Monsieur, and tell us what we ought to know, that the dangerous aggression is not that of thinly populated lands whose people stay at home comfortable, provided for feeding largely on the products of their own farms, but that of the nations who increase and multiply, with a feeling that they are serving God until their lands cannot feed them and they must exploit other lands, and who keep on increasing until they must break over houses and suburbs and submerge their neighbors. Tell us, Montserrat, that these not aggressive nations in aiding the help of other aggressive races of different color and faith are doing the only thing they can do to protect the liberty of those who we for the sake of living and everything against the habitations of conquer the propagation that people we to seize at they can seize. Tell us that there is a range of race double in a series of races such as the black and white impul in the practice of less capitals that in the tab for the re- lates to deputy of defense the sim- pilary practice. And tell us also Morrow that if we place battle above these considerations of the right of people, hold, and wilt over crowding, we are our best station of independence and our attention and an the much learned principles of our democracy.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 Desde las Heróicas tañas de Cuba La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra Como un armonioso sonido viene sintendose el dulce toque de llamada para que nos preaparemos; la antorcha luminosa señala el camino del trunfo a aquellos que por sus venas circula sangre africana. En lo sucesivo hemos de ahanzanzos en el tema de que la madre naturaleza creo al hombre para que este disfrutara de todos sus prodigios, lo cual constituya su felicidad, llevando grabada en lo mas intimo de su alma Un Próspero y Feliz Año Nuevo Para Todos—Nuestra Raza Ha de Hacer Mayores Esfuerzos en Este Nuevo Año—Gran Exito de Nuestro Movimiento en Años Transcurridos—La Presente Generación Tiene el Privilegio de Prestar Sus Servicios en Beneficio de la Raza—Nuestra Labor Requiere Entereza de Caracter Negro del universo pensad en la consoladora verdad de que nada hay irremedible en este mundo, del mismo modo que el hombre no ha sido siempre feliz e independiente, tampoco sera infeliz y esclavo. Educaos, recordad que funiste poderoso, recordad que funiste representado en todas las ramificaciones del saber humano. Ha recaparecido un nuevo año el cual marcará un nuevo paso en el transcurso de los acontecimientos humanos. Nuestra raza luchó durante el viejo año en contra de un sinnúmero de dificultades, sinembargo, hoy nos sentimos mas determinados en el reclamo de nuestros derechos entre las otras razas y naciones del universo, que en ningun otro periodo de nuestra historia. Asaso el Negro ha pensado que es un peligro anhelar prosperidad, llevando en si la terrorica idea de que janas lograra su realizacion. El hombre, según Tolstoy aprende a vismubrar lo que desea obtener y no lo contrato. La gran Asociacion Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha hecho su aparition para que el hombre de sangre atracuna pense que la sierra no se ha revelado en su contra, para que se sienta con la influencia de HOMBRÉ, para que se prepare y la pobre por obtener absorbita unapacación a la curla es recorder. Durante el año expirado tuvimos la oportunidad de impresionar al mundo con el programa de determinación de nuestra gran Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, en la persecusión de un puesto de reconocimiento entre las diversas razas y naciones, lo cual ha causado la realización de que el Negro no se considera ya un ente racial, sino que esta dispuesto a demandar el sitio correspondiente en la gran democracia, la cual siempre ha sido el privilegio de todo hombre libre. Cuando el Negro pense que a todo tiene derecho, cuando se reconozca a su mismo puerro que pertenece a una razza histórica cuando deje de creer en su mala muerte cuando en vez de pedir al cielo mi cercordia se determine a demandar sus derechos como un ser humano, entonces y solamente entonces sera respetado como tal, llevando a la mente de los demas el que forma parte integrante del concerto humano. Cuando fijamos nuestra vista hacia la labor realizada por nuestra organización, nos sentimos orgullosos y felices de haber aportado moral y financieramente para llevar adelante el mas grande de todos los movimientos hasta el presente inciados por nuestra raza. El nuevo año nos hallará abrigando nuevas esperanzas, nueva fe, nuevas resoluciones. La civilización contemporanea ha proporcionado a la humanidad el sublime instante de salir del estado astuto en que vema deshizandose. Nuestra raza no ha de ser por más tiempo el puente por donde al trave de los tiempos han pasado las demarazas, en su camino hacia el perfecciónamiento. Los que constituiimos la directiva de esta organización hemos de redoblar todos nuestros esfuerzos con el propósito de ver triunfante la legalidad de nuestra gran causa. Todo miembro y adepto a este magno movimiento nada mejor podrá realizar en este nuevo año, quecrevestirse de nueva resolución y continuar adelante, venciendo todos los abstáculos y oposiciones, para hacer que las palabras de nuestra doctrina repercutan en lo mas recóndito del universo. Aver funimos celávas por opresión, hoy somos celávas por economía. La voluntad de vencer y la divisa de puelo quero han de contrarregar todas muestras dificultades. El hombre de sangre africana debe recordar la grandeza de sus antepa-ados, debe tener en menús las hazanas de la sublime Ethiopia y lo comprendente de sus obras en el antiguo Egipto. Así llegará a la conclusión en que, actualmente con mayores ventajas, todo lo puede conen todo lo quere. Nuestra organización necesita de sus hijos de noble corazón en este nuevo año de 1923, corazones sin manchas; corazones llenos de sinceridad, pues ante nuestra vista se presenta un nuevo año de grandes realizaciones. Ninguna dificultad ha de interponerse en este nuevo año a la determinación de los hombres y mujeres que constituyen nuestra organización, quienes con nobleza de corazón han de guiar a nuestra raza en general por el camino de la victoria. Contamos con hombres dignos de nuestra conanza y cooperación, el Hon. Marcus Garvey, cual antorchea humana, nos alumbra el derrotor que hasamos de seguir, hacia la realización de nuestras aspiraciones. Demos credito a la inmediata y capacidad de esos hombres dústres de nuestra raza y con fe determinación hemos de trumfar. Ramon G. Apeztegua Hernandez Correspondix Los millones de nuestra raza en esta presente generación sienten como privilegio especial el que debemos vivir en esta época de reajuste universal, en disposición de prestar mayores esfuerzos con el objeto de crear un nuevo medio de existencia y abrir paso hacia el punto de la absoluta emancipación en el gran concierto de la familia humana. Este privilegio no solamente beneficia a la generación del presente, sino que también, esclarecido ya el camino de libertad, beneficiará a la generación del futuro. La Política Continental de los Estados Unidos Inmediatamente después de clausuradas las sesiones de la conferencia chilenopuana de Washington, empezose a preparar la reciente conferencia centroamericana. Y cuando esta cierra sus sesiones, ya esta en marcha la organización de la conferencia panamericana de Santiago de Chile Visiblemente, los Estados Unidos intensifican rápidamente su política continental, en todos sentidos. La atención que el departamento de estado consagra a sus relaciones con las demas naciones americanas es creciente y la actividad y empfole que ponen sus representantes en el extranjero en mantenerse constantemente cercanos a la fuente misma de cualquier gestion política interamericana, son cada vez más deliberados. Fue un privilegio el que Jorge Washington viviera en el periodo de la revolución americana; fue un privilegio el que los directores del republicanismo francés vivieran en una época de libertad política, es también un privilegio el que vivíamos en esta época de reajustic politico. Conceptuamos un deber contraido para con nuestra raza, el elevarla de un estado de degradación política al mas alto grado de gloria nacional. No es sólo en la esfera diplomatica, sino en la economica, y en la social misma, que los Estados Unidos buscan el acercamiento a nuestros pueblos americanos. Los procedimientos varian en eficiencia y en tacto. Pero el objetivo es visible. Cualquiera que sea la opinión que se forme sobre el, hay que aceptar la realidad como es y no como se deesearia que fuera. Y hacer de la realidad, con patriotismo y con buen sentido, lo que fisica y humanamente pueda hacerse Por tal razon luchamos como miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, sin temor a nada ni a nadie, con nuestra fé en el Gran Creador, quien prometió que de nuestro Egipto saldría nuestro Príncipe y que hacia el extenderiamos nuestros brazos. Así marchamos hacia adelante sintiendonos con la potencia de separar montañas, si éstas se interpusieran a nuestro paso, hasta plantar el estandarte de libertad en la tierra de nuestros antepasados. Se comenta en formas distintas la visible tendencia de los Estados Unidos a mantener cada vez más estrechos vinculos con las demas republicas continentales. Se ve en su política muchos diferentes planes y un objetivo diverso, según cada nacion. Hay quienes creen que el objetivo es unico y supremo: la absorción del resto del continente. Hay quienes creen que todo es aspiración pacifica y altruista. Probamente ninguna opinion tiene bases absolutamente ciertas o absolutamente erroneas. Pero la verdad es que Hispano América, debe recibir con agrado el Nuestra labor requiere entereza de caracter y determinación reconocida; así nos abriga la esperanza de que todo elemento de nuestra raza se revista del espíritu que este nuevo año de 1923 nos brinda. Nuestro propósito no es simplemente librar a nuestra madre patria de las garras de los poderes europeos, sino emancipar a la raza en general del caos moral y físico en que se encuentra y eliminar de nuestra mente la influencia malsana, que de dia en dia y de año en año nos separa mas y mas. UN PRÓSPERO Y FELIZ AÑO NUEVO PARA TODOS acercamiento y fomentarlo para su propio bien. De ella depende que los Estados Unidos lleguen a ser el mejor elemento de progreso que pueda encontrarse en el perveir, o el mayor obstáculo para el. Por esto, el problema debe afrontarse con resolución y sin apasionamientos, viendo las realidades a la desnuda luz de la razón y no a través del prisma coloreado del odio o la prevención. Nada puede ser menos constructivo y más nocivo que la intromisión del prejudice literario o la pasión sentimental en esta suprema cuestion. Cuando en los discursos que se vienen prodigando rectamente em Washington se afirma que se desea la amstad y la fraternidad de Hispano America y nada más, no debe verse en esa política continental, así enunciada sino una oportunidad para que, en efecto, cualesquiera que sea los designos que pudiera haber tras de esa declaración, el poder, el progreso la buena voluntad y la devision de Hispano America, se bastante a vencerlo todo y finalmente obtener y dar a la gran república del norte fraternidad, cooperación y amstad y nada más. La Prensa, N. Y. Los Linchamientos en 1922 El número de luchamientos de este año, en comparación con el de 1921, marca un cambio notable. Hubo concuenta y siete victimas o sean sure metas que el año pasado Texas aparece en el primer lugar con dez y/ocho luchamientos o seca 32 por ciento del número o total Sigue Georgia, con once Mississippi, con nueve Florida y Arkansas, con endo cada uno Louisiana, con tres Alabama y Louisiana, con dos cada uno Oklahoma y South Carolina von uno. La supremacía de los estados del sur en este respecto no ha sido en forma alguna contestada. Sigue todavía sin aburjar de la idea de que el asesumat de negros por muchedunbros anomadas es una forma elevada de justicia, aument en algunos casos el de lo de que se acusaba a las victimas no era peor que el romper una huega o pronunciar palabras malustas. Un hecho signo hectico, revelado en el informe copiado por el Instituto de Luckahoe es que mientras de treinta personas buclizadas trece haban sido sequestras de las carriles y diez y siete arrebatadas a funionarios oficiales en el exterior de las prisiones, en encuenta y ocho casos los detenores de la ley impedieron la conusión del linchamiento, teniendo en cuatro casos que emplear la fuerza. La lección de estas cifras desmudas es saludable. Donde las autoridades presentes en el lugar del motu demuestran el valor la determinación de cumprir con su deber el delito del linchamiento es detender de modo radical y usualmente sin necesidad de recurrir a la violencia. La Civilización Egipcia del Siglo XIV El contenido de la tumba del faraón Tut-Ankhamen, vera la luz del sol por vez primera en 3,300 años. Las reliquias historicas se almacenaran, provisionalmente, en el museo de El Cairo. Los arqueologos americanos que han estado trabajando en Lebas y que han visitado la tumba, declaran que las revelaciones hechas por el sepulero del faraón egipcio son maravillosas. Affirmase que el contenido de la tumba demuestra que los egipcios del siglo decimocuarto antes de la era cristiana, eran más adelantados artístico y politicamente, que sus antecesores o sus predecesores en la edad faraónica. Los americanos no estan dispuestos a establecer un parallelo de comparación entre la civilización antigua y la presente, pero estan convencidos de que, las perspectivas de los antiguos egipcios eran tan halaguenas como las de los egipcios modernos, por lo que respecta a la moralidad, a la justicia y a la estética Creese que las camaras internas de la tumba se abirán en febrero. El departamento de antiguelades egipcias ha desenterrado en \suan un obelisco que, por su altura, ha establecido un record. Mude 1.33 pies de extremo a extremo y pesa 1,200 toneladas.

Callo 135 Ciudad de Nueva York THE IAGOOS OF THE NEGRO RACE Every race group has its lagos—the fellows who rally forth with a peace-rock belief, believing they can do things better than anybody else in the world, even when they are confronted with the real facts. You know them by their actions and appearances. They are seen everyday of our lives. We believe the Negro race has more than its required quota of them. They are the fellows who flatly refuse to give credit where it is due. They will pull a man down when he is up. Any new movement in idea not of their own creation they deceive. Oh, what jack-aroes they are! Since life is made up of a variety of human beings and a multitude of environments, the lagos are necessary, providing they remain within bounds. They belong to the group of destructionists and not the constructionists. They are narrow, intolerant and live in a world of unrealities. They are the "rolling stones" of the Negro race, for truly they "gather no moss." It is possible that some day these lagos may see the light, but until then we advise them to study this particular passage from Longfellow's "Hiawatha." "Never heard he an adventure But himself had made a greater, Never any deed of daring. But himself had done a bolder; Never any marvelous story But himself could tell a stranger. No one ever shot an arrow Half so high as he had. Ever caught so many fishs, Ever killed so many reindeer. Ever trapped so many beaver; None could run so fast as he could. None could dive so deep as he could None could swim so far as he could. None had made so many journeys. None had seen so many wonders As this wonderful lagen." FRIENDS HOLD INTER-RACIAL CONFERENCE B. WM. ANTHONY AERY BY WM. ATHUR HAWK PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec & The Friends have always stood fearless, and faithfully) by men, women and children who were disadvantaged but who were making a brave struggle to find a way out of their troubles. This spirit still prevails, as was shown in the recent conference which was held in the Friend's Meeting House, Fifteenth and Race streets under the auspices of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Committee on the Interests of the Colored Race and of the Philadelphia Inter-racial Committee. Dr. Elliott Russell, director of the Woolman School Bwarthmore Pa. presented a resolution calling for an open interracial conference to discuss methods of promoting inter racial cooperation. This resolution was unanimously adopted. A well-known Philadelphia Friend, J. Henry Beattarger, presided at this conference, which was called to consider The Importance of Teaching Modern Sociology Squaresly"; "The Preparation of Up-to-Date Textbooks for Civic Classes . . . How to Teach Interracial Understanding and Cooperation . . . 'Qualities Needed in Civics Teachers . . . and 'The Problem of Regregation' . . ." Anne Biddle Stirling, chairman of the Philadelphia Inter-racial Committee referred to the fear and prejudice in the minds of white people which keep them from thinking clearly on problems of race relations. Mrs. Stirling stated that altogether too many white children are given the idea that the Negro as a class is dirty, ignorant and lazy. She pointed out clearly the need of teaching white children—and colored children, too—about Negroes who have made important achievements. Principal Leslie P Hill of the Cheyney State Normal School spoke on "The Negro's Contribution to American Life" "We must have stated," he said, "those important features of the lives of colored people about which we have heard too little. Newspapers and magazines are quick to exploit the negative aspects of the race problem. Seldom do we get any hearing for the uplifting features of the Negro problem. There is the deep-fixed conviction in the minds of many white people that the colored people of the United States are a worry, a problem and an embarrassment." Associate Editor Alice Dunbar-Nelson of the Philadelphia-Wilmington "Advocate" said: "Many children receive their picture of the black race through a picture of some Hottentot which they have seen in an elementary geography. Every locality has its history tinged by prejudice. There is a prevailing need of giving children the needed facts concerning Negroes. We do not teach literature. We are taught by literature. Very often a good poem has a high value in shaping human lives. Very often the wall of white prevarication does not admit colored truth. We need to begin with little children by giving them correct pictures of the contributions which all groups have made to civilization." The New South and the Negro Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater boards and rector of William and Mary College spoke on "How to Promote Interracial Understanding and Co-operation" Doctor Dillard emphasized the following points: (1) The Federal government ought to help Negro education through State organizations (2) The advance which has been made in the problem of handling race relationships is a mixture of good and bad. (3) In 1912-1913 the Jeanes teachers, who go about helping to improve the public schools, received from public tax funds $3.402. In 1921-1922 the Jeanes teachers received from public tax funds $14.521. In 1921 four county training schools were established. The counties all together gave for these county training schools (there were three that finally ran through the year) $3.244. In 1921-1922 156 county training schools received from public tax funds $67.911. Doctor Dillard pointed out that "the great body of Southern people hate lynching and want it blotted out." He said that there are hoodlums everywhere—North and South. He stated that "education, religion and public sentiment are extremely important factors in the adjustment of race problems." He expressed his admiration for educated, refined, cultivated colored men and women who live in good houses and have good surroundings but who are rudely handled by public service men. "These educated colored people show great temperance without servility and are indeed Christians who exert unusual self-control. If Jesus Christ is right then in the Negroes have taken the right line in being temperate and patient. I repeatedly say to colored people, 'Don't quit being Christians.'" Negro Education in Delaware Dr. Joseph H. Oddall, director of Service Citizens of Delaware, in his address on "Equal Educational Opportunities for Negroes," said: "Pierre St. duPont and I visited Negro schools in Delaware week after week in 1919. We found the Negro schools in deplorable condition. A photograph was made of every Negro school and every Negro school carefully measured. We secured a complete picture of the Delaware school system for Negroes: We found that not a single Negro schoolhouse was worth saving. The Negro school- houses were insanitary, foul and inadequate. . . . During the past eighteen months Delaware has built fifty-one Negro schools with ninety- three rooms. There has already been completed: 57,400 schools. Unused current schools. Unused current schools. In addition. There are still many Negro schools to be built." Dr James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, declared that men and women are looking to Delaware as a model State in careful educational planning. Doctor Gregg stated that the problem of raising the level of education is that of working hardest where the problems are worst. He pointed out that Negro education must be undertaken for the interest of both white and colored people. Negro Education in Pennsylvania Dr Thomas E. Finegan, State superintendent of public instruction for Pennsylvania, who spoke on "The Responsibility of the State for the Education of the Colored Race," traced in some detail the Negro background through 250 years of bondage. He discussed the conflict of two important ideas—democracy and slavery. He stated that the Negro problem has always been treated in the spirit of compromise. "The principle of charity has been eliminated from State public school systems," he said. "There are now constitutional provisions for the securing of educational facilities for the free public school education of all citizens. We should open to colored people the door of opportunity through the public schools. The nation faces the obligation of affording Negro educational facilities. Each State has a similar obligation for the education of Negroes within its border." ALLIED INDUSTRIAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION ALLIED INDUSTRIAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION Washington, D. G. Nov. 31. The Allied Industrial Finance Corporation has just sent out a dividend check covering the first quarterly dividend of 8 per cent. to the paid up holders of its preferred stock. The corporation has made remarkable progress during the past few months in which it has been actively engaged in business. Having been organized in De W. Whee, 1920, with Dr. Emmett L. Scott, of Washington, D. C., as president, and with John R. Hawkins, Da A. M. Curtis, Whitefield McInlay, and Norman L. McGhee, as fellow officers and directors, over one hundred thousand dollars worth of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation's stock was subscribed by July 1, 1922, at which time it started actively on its program to supply financial assistance to colored business men and women, and groups of colored men and women, in the extension of business the building of names and other worthy objects. Other prominent men who are on the board of directors of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation are Dr. M. O. Oumaa, F. Morris Murray, Dr. A. O. Jackson, of Washington, D. C.; S. W. Green, of New Orleans; Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City; Dr. R. M. Fowler, of Atlantic City; Dr. J. B. Stubba, and Dr. S. G. Albert, of Wilmington, Del.; S. G. Brown, of Philadelphia; J. L. Jones, of Philadelphia; T. H. Klah, of Princess Anne, J. The counsel for the corporation is A. Murray James A. Cobb, of Washington, D. C. ```markdown ``` The Allied Industrial Finance Corporation is nationwide in scope. It expects to add to its already strong management the leading man of the race in the various states. Already the corporation has operated with satisfactory results in Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia. In ministering to the needs of the colored business men and women and the enterprises undertaken by them in these states, it is not only making money for its subscribers but is rendering a needed service to the race. In referring to the recent dividend declared on the preferred stock of the corporation, Dr. Scott, the president said: "Now that the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation has reached the point where it is paying its first quarterly dividend, its success appears to be assured. The only thing we have to worry about is what the measure of that success shall be. Shall it be just an ordinary success, or will women and women rise to their opportunity and make the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation measure up to any one of the hundreds of great enterprises of similar nature operated by white men." Continuing Dr. Scott said, "The one great essential to big business is joint effort. Outstanding men and women must work together, one here, another there; one man in one line, another man in another line, but so heading toward the same object, that the bringing together in this 'Allied enterprise of great numbers of our people who will buy the stock of the corporation according to their means.' The members of the race have plenty of money to help the business of the race a thousand fold, but most of this money goes to help business outside of our race. The machinery of this thoroughly organized enterprise has been set in motion and is gaining momentum every day to do the big things we have all been talking about." The Allied Industrial Finance Corporation plans to be the largest and strongest colored financial institution in America. In promoting its program in the various states in which it has entered, numbers of conferences have been held in sections of these states, at which conferences many competent speakers have appeared and have discussed problems of industrial and economic importance to the colored people. Meetings have been held in Hallbury, Md.; Wilmington, Det.; Chester Pa.; Dover, Del.; and many other places. Shortly there will be held meetings at Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Jersey City, New York, Pittsburgh burgh and Newark, where the purpose of the corporation will be accomplished. It is hoped that through this expiration the mission of the mission group may be milled so that it will be possible to see how it is being conducted and, in the future, directed towards himself, the mission group and the mission community. CIEGO DE AVILA, CUBA, DIVISION 78 CELEBRATES OPENING OF LIBERTY HALL bunday, December 4, was a banner day for Division No. 18. Despite financial embarrassments, social prejudices and petty jealousies, nothing was off and tundone to make the day one long to be remembered. The hall was elaborately decorated with red, black and green crepe paper and beautiful artificial roses made by the nurses presenting a wonderful sight. Ceremonies were scheduled to begin at 3.20 p.m. but owing to tardiness of the masses in turning out it was not until 8 o'clock that proceedings were got under way. The program was a two-fold one. First the juveniles began with a professional hymn inward, Christian Holders' the chapel leading the procession followed by the nurses. At the finish of the hymn prayer was offered. The chapel took his text from the first chapter of St. John, and in his discourse touched graphically on the Prophet Isaiah's prophecy of the coming of the Redeemer Jesus. The lecture was an appropriate one. The second part of the program was opened with the singing of, "From Greenland's ley Mountains," followed by prayer from the ritual, "God of the right our battles fight." The chaplain, in a mastery address, introduced Brother John Mullins as master of ceremonies, who made a short address and then introduced the following speakers. President (E. E. Stewart chose as his subject "Man's Power," and in part he said: Man is the highest order of Divine creation. He is created in the likeness of his Creator. He possesses the power to reason, determine, will and to do. There is nothing limited within man's physical powers to do. Man is his own creator: he creates his own environment; he makes self what he wants to be, whether he to the loftest heights of physical stress or to the most degraded and stale-like conditions. When a man begins to know himself and to realize that within him is the higher intelligence, rather than looking into limitless space he cannot be content to be in the class of the beasts of the field God created man and gave him a command to be lord of creation. That command was not to any individual race or nation, but to mankind in general; therefore each has the same equal opportunity. What others have accomplished you also can do the same. It's only he who lifts himself up does by his will and power to go up. If you believe you are inferior and make use of your power and will, and think everything is impossible you will remain at the bottom to be ladder for others to climb on. We as a race being dissatisfied with conditions as are moped out to us should adopt the same initiative, the same will and power as other races have adopted and lift ourselves to the same heights on this earth plane as they have climbed. We have received the wrong doctrine, the doctrine to leave all the world and hold on to Jesus, to be satisfied in psaume and serdom on this earth plane and hope to drive in charisots of gold is the life hereafter. It is so strange to think why the other fellows are going to allow you to enjoy such luxuries in the after life, and he is so very particular in disfranchising and Jim Crowing us down here. Do not consider that it need questioning. Let us wake up and adopt his motives, lay claims to some of this earth's goods, and if there is any such luxuries in the great hereafter we will also claim a share. But while we are here let us use our God-given knowness. Come together to foster this great cause of Africa's redemption. Let us take the vision of our noble leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the only living Negro who has come to our rescue and willed that his race be free, and to enjoy the same privileges as other races. To have a government of our own ruled and governed by Negroes in our dear fatherland, Africa. Boyce spoke. Ladies and gentlemen it is a great pleasure to be able to speak to you this evening especially in such an occasion as this. I shall speak on the subject. The Present Aspects in the words of the Great Spirital Redeemer. What come you to see. Is it for idle current display of pomp and vanity or for a not noble cause that we are here gathered together? To my consideration it should be for the cause that is due to the hearts of every liberty loving Negro. The cause that Irish men gave their lives for during many centuries. The cause that Egypt fought for and won the cause of liberty and freedom. We are today celebrating the opening of our Liberty Hall a place whose doors are opened and a courtyard welcome awaits every one where we can come together and stimulate the spirit of each other to work in harmony towards the one aim, one God, one destiny. Where we can use as a point of vantage to unite our forces to assist our great leader and to do our part in laying the foundation of Africa in a freedom. When we review the appreciations of our forefathers the appreciations which beset us day by day in the present and the angels which will befall the coming generation it is high time for us to arouse ourselves from this state of lethargy, take a retrospective view of ourselves come together, to further this noble cause, and offset the apparent disaster which will befall the coming generations yet unborn. I regret to say in this our community there is yet a division among us. What is the cause? To my opinion it is caused from jealousy, prejudice, insularity and most of all the lack of intelligent leadership. Leadership is bankrupt in Código de Avila, free portable men poaching as leaders corrupt the minds of the community. Very many do not know they are leaders and yet stand in the position. Who are the leaders? Teachers, pastors and such who mould the minds of the community are the leaders. Here also we have leading officers of fraternal societies. How can men be leaders when they have not the ability to lead, are too prejudiced and conceived to better quarrel and pull each other to pieces? How can we have an appreciable community? Can the blind lead the blind? It is time we should call a halt. I would advise that this division call a conference among all the leaders of the community and get things straightened out. We are pulling against each other, we cannot gain headway. Let us take as an example the European conflict of 1914 to 1918. The Allies could not gain headway when their generals were fighting disunited. But when General Peterson saw the situation he got buoy and had the different generals become a unit, and in no time the tide was turned in their favor. The victors became the vanquished. We must adopt the same course. Our brothers in Africa are oppressed still and our fatherland is being robbed and exploited. They need our assistance, there is no time to lose. In disgregating among ourselves 400 million Negroes are yet grooming under oppression and servitude and are crying for freedom and liberty, and if it is your intention to help strike the blow for liberty, fall in line. Let us march onward in one solid body under one banner, the banner of Negro liberty, the Red, the Black and the Green, calling no halt, knowing no retreat, ever advancing until we have planted that trie of colors on the hillsets of Africa. There we can sing with contentment 'Ethiopia Thou Land of Our Fathers.' Miss Albert La Sydney's address was as follows. Ladies and gentlemen—I am glad to be with you tonight. I feel inspired to add my plea for the support of this division. Although I am a bit timid, as it is the first time I have ever attempted to make an address, yet I could not go away without saying something, especially when I consider the purpose for which we are here gathered and the cause which has brought us together. It is time we should throw away all doubts and come together for the redemption of our motherland. We should be thankful to Almighty God for the Honorable Marc Garvey, who has given us this hope, and especially now when he is hard pressed by the enemy. We should stand by him rather than remaining apart. I shall quote you a narrative of Horatio Nelson, one of England's greatest admirals. When quite a boy he strays away from home one night. His mother, scolding him about his capacade, asked him if he was not afraid. "What is afraid, mother?" he questioned, "I do not know it." I shall ask you the same question. What are you afraid of? To link up with this great movement? There is all the good to be obtained and no harm. Why are you keeping out? On a later occasion Nelson made his name immortal to Englishmen by remarking when wounded and hard pressed. "England expects every man to do his duty." Today the same is sounded to your ears. Africa expects every man and woman with one drop of Negro blood in their veins to do his or her duty. Her millions of sons and daughters are oppressed in every olime, and we must come together to shake off the yoke of the oppressors and to make our country free. He men and women; he not afraid. We have started the race. God is on our side and we shall not stop until we have planted the Red, the Black and the green on the hillside of Sunny Africa. The other speakers were Mr. Samuel Pike, representative from the Morning Star Lodge, L. U. O. of M. F. S.; Mr. W. F. Pryse, representing the Rose of Sharon Lodge, I. R. E. and D. of Sharon Lodge, representing Mathab bremful with pop ( Chaplain Osborne is a strong and forceful titer and was at his best on this occasion. The musical program was an follow-up by Nurse Susan Thomas, entitled Shoulder to Shoulder, solo by Mrs Naomi Osborne entitled Your Fatherland, song by Mr John Mullour, Africa, O Land of Beauty. A most pleasant evening was brought in a show with the singing of the national anthem, Ethiopia Thou Land of Our Fathers. REPORTER propaganda is a myth. So you see that here is a noted Anglo Nazi writer admitting that the white man's religion is a myth and propaganda. Now to your letter you said that what the Negro needs is helpful idea to help him in his upward march and not disparaging references to the thing he holds dear his religion. May I ask you a question. Why should the Negro hold the Christian religion dear? Was it not by supposed Christians themselves that he has been mobilized, lynched burned at the stake, him his continued referendum as an offender readers of the work. Here you render attention. What must you gain your印象 of reason this combination? been better for you subliminally made believed in through profof to the winning time. HAMPTON WILL HOLD FIRST CONFERENCE FOR BUILDERS, JAN. 29-31 HAMPTON WILL HOLD FIRST CONFERENCE FOR BUILDERS, JAN. 29-31 Speakers of National Reputation Will Present Latest and Best Practices HAMPTON Va. Nov. 27 To provide a forum where colored builders and contractors may exchange ideas and experiences, Hampton Institute will hold its first builders' conference on January 29, 30 and 31. Speakers of national reputation who will present the latest and best practices in the building industry will include D. Knickerbocker Road architect and structural standardist Philadelphia, J. C. Purson chief of the cement section, National Bureau of Standards Washington, D.C., and a director of the American Concrete Institute and Alexander B Trowbridge of New York formally deem of the Architectural School in Cornell University and now consulting architect to the Federal Reserve Board. Manufacturers representatives will also present the newest ideas in materials and machinery. Students of the Hampton Institute Trade School will give practical demonstrations with the aid of new testing machines in the laboratory of building construction. Motion pictures of the manufacture of important building materials, such as steel brick and cement will also be used as a part of the three-day program of this pioneer builders' conference. Advanced Builders' Course Albert Farwell Bemin of Boston, who recently made a donation of $50,000 toward the endowment of the Hampton Institute builders' course, has come forward with another gift which makes possible the immediate establishment of a department of the Hampton Trade School which will be known as the Department of Building Construction. In addition to a two-year advanced builders' course which will be open to qualified graduates of trade schools, this department will hold builders' courses and short courses from time to time. Another important function will be the maintenance of a service bureau where advice, tests and other helps may be obtained. The builders' course has already met with spontaneous approval from many Hampton Institute graduates and other building contractors. The aims of the course is to give a thorough training in the practical and technical problems which must be solved by the builder and contractor in the successful combat of his business. Emphasis will be laid upon the development of an appreciation of architecture which should enable graduates of this course to distinguish themselves by the general excellence of their work. Pending the erection of a permanent building for this work, the departmental office, testing laboratory and drafting room are being fitted up in the building which was erected during the World War for the Students Army. Training Corps H Whittimore Brown, who is in charge of this department is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was a special student at the Ecole Nationale Des Ponts de Chauances, Paris, Fellow at the University of Wisconsin, and during the World War served overseeas an lieutenant in the Engineers' Reserve Corps. Besides some years as instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Wisconsin, Mr. Brown has been for the past two years engineer for the Housing Company of Boston where among other things, he made some interesting experiments in the construction of concrete houses. DEFENSE OF THE EDITOR OF THE FOREIGN COLUMN OF THE NEGRO WORLD --- October 28, 1922 Mr. Thomas H. Spence. Dear Sir. - At the threshold of this reply it gives me pleasure to say that for your intellect and character I have the greatest respect, and let me say further that I shall consider your arguments, assertions and inferences entirely apart from your personality. I have read many letters of protest in the Negro World against non-Christian writers, but paid very little attention to them, since they were usually written by American Negroes, and the majority of the American Negroes are religious and superstitious. Yet I was amazed, when glancing at the end of your letter, to discover that the address was in Cuba. I did not know that the white man had succeeded in inculcating the Cuban Negroes with his propaganda of the Christian religion to such an extent that the brilliant article in the Negro World's foreign column would offend their religious intelligence. I say propaganda, for I have always considered it such. And now comes Lothrop Sloddard in his book, "The Rising Tide of Color," which confirms my belief. He says on page ninety-six: "Mohammedanism is making marvelous progress in the propaganda is a myth" No you see that here is a named Anglo-Naxon writer admitting that the white man a religion is a myth and propaganda Now as to your letter you said that what the Negro needs is helpful advice to help him in his upward march and not disparaging references to the thing he holds dear his religion May I ask you a question Why should the Negro hold the religion dear? Was it not by supported Christianism themselves that he has been mobilized burned at the stake him crowded segregated and disfranchised and his women yaped, and all his prayers have been of no avail? Why is it so many Negroes are preaching to other Negroes to serve the white man and the white man told? And you said also a Christian cannot sing hymns of hate since that is entirely against the teachings of Christ. Let us examine this white man made. What did He teach. Thou shall have thine enemy, if thine enemy smite thee on the right check turn to him the other also. What same man can do that? Anyone who can is a little candidate for an aman. Jesus Christ who was supposed to be the son of Jesus that monster in the Bible, who was supposed to have committed all of those apostates in the Far East like his worshipers are now doing. He also established slaves for he was a believer in slavery. That is enough. Why should any black man worship Him? What shall we say of a god who established slaves and then has the efferratory to say. Thou shall not stoll." Listen to the command that Jehovah gave His chief generals in Canada. Thou shalt save nothing alive that breathed to him. And I will make my arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall despair flesh that the foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemy, the tongue of the dog in the same. Now this is the white man's God whom you wish the Negroes to serve. Do you think that singing hymns of hate is worse than that? Was Jehovah forgiving when He uttered that? Just with a doctrine as that above is the cause of so the innocent blood that has been shed from the battle of Matthias to the battle of Argonne. Of course I am oftentig enough to know that Jehovah never existed only on paper or in the imagination of the superstitions or in the propaganda of the capitals. If I were going to anoint a whom a man I would take Robert to England for my saint, as to me he appears to have been a greater man than Christ as far as the colored man is concerned, ingerall spoke something definite, in favor of the colored man. In a controversy between hims and William Closthare he said, With great propriety it may be asked in the keeping of which christ is set to be treasure "Did the Catholics have it and was it taken from Luther or did Henry will seize it and is it now in the keeping of the church of England? Which of the warring sects in America has this treasure or has we in this country only the rust and cankers? Is it in the Episcopal church that refuses to associate with a colored man for whom Christ died and who is good enough for the society of the angelic host? In my humble opinion there were many other men who were of greater service to the world than Jesus Christ. Have you ever read of tongues Primo the saint artist who was burned at the stake by the Christians, of Gothic it was he who invented the first telescope and discovered the mountains on the moon and the satellites of the planet Jupiter and who died blind in jail, also Lapland Torrione Isaac II Newton Charles Darwin, William Huxley and last, but not least Halley after whom the great comet was named? Kepler said that this comet would one day be a man itself, one can easily believe that but who can believe saints are made over night, and set up on the firmament of the heavens, as the Bible says our sun was.

Here are rendered a declarative sentence. What makes you so sure it is all offence from what source did you gain your information, by what process of reasoning did you arrive at this conclusion? Would it not have been better for you to have used the subjunctive mode and said that you believed in thought it? Would you pretend to love the Week kind, that winning time in the Chicago beender? Again you say, the mere fact that a man tells himself a Christian does not it prove that he is a Christian. The proof you say, he辰辰 in the actual test as to whether he loves the things with which Christian commands him to do. Allow me to ask two simple questions. Who can or who does not venture to pay the time has come and especially in that lightened age that the spiritual adviser of the Negro race especially then and should stop preaching to the less informed that doctype the gold-plated heaven and the stream-plated hell. Since it renders them ill to come with the more ancient and modern thinking races. Mr J A Rogers of Chicago, IL has known us as a good version of the deep-seated irrored superstition of the Nogre. He says in his book 'As Nature Looks, there are many Nogre who have graduated from universities that still believe that a donkey once spoke. The white man has contempt for the Nogre more so then he has for any other race, and I am sure that one of the reasons is the Nogre's ready acceptance of the white man's biases views, while the other races reject them. Lathrop Stoddard shows his contempt throughout his book The Rising Fate of Color. On page 100 he says, 'The Nogre is a force even super initiator, but there he stops. He adopts but does not adopt, and gives forth entirely his own. Figure 1. To be safe, there can be no doubt that the Indian is on peril to the Nakuru. The Nakuru can when unprotected by foreign influence never get up anything approaching a total civilization. Allow me to relate to your old story. Down in Halt, there are four man- aged black men, slaughtered by soldiers and saboteurs of a Christian an- tion. He is in our Southland of the United States, a black woman is daily raped them, brothers and fathers burned at the stake of their protest their blood is sent from the stok for Virginia and on in a Christian land Rock it and sweep. Another one lined and dream of being night. I will leave for my sabbaton to populate their world and so I will make the heart of anything except a Georgia Cracker. Down in Arkansas there are twelve men waiting for the elec- tors. One hundred and twenty-five of their comrades in 1919 were run by bayonets in a Christian land. Their only offense was a possible gathering in the house of their good to trans- som of their business. Down in Tulsa, Oklahoma, forty white city blocs were devastated. Soldiers in a Christian land flow over the street like bottle dropping bombs on black people homes. Black women who can from fishing docks with babies can their arms write letters, shot down by robots. All this was done by sup- ported Christian. 12.
