The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium ENEMY ORGANIZATIONS THAT FIGHT UNDERHAND AGAINST GREAT MOVEMENT VOL. XIII. No. 24 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The enemies of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, namely, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the so-called African Blood Brotherhood, Friends of Negro Freedom and some of the Negro newspapers have descended to a very low level when they can find no other means of fighting our organization than by misrepresenting us to the white race and to the Government. This reminds us of the attitude of the Jews toward their countryman and Savior, Jesus. They hated the man who was called Jesus, who had come to save them, because he was a Jew like themselves, they claimed, and that He should thereby have no special privilege over them except He was born to immediate temporal authority. Because of their jealousy of the humble Nazarene, they sought in every way to discredit and subsequently to kill Him. They found out that they had no power to interfere with the career of the man Jesus, because all authority was vested in the Roman Government. The result, therefore, was to misrepresent Jesus to the Roman authorities and to get them to do what they as Jews were unable to accomplish. They ultimately succeeded in crucifying Jesus, even though the Roman Governor and Judge persuaded them to the knowledge that Jesus had done no wrong, and even though through an enforced conviction when he besought of them to allow him to let the innocent Jesus go as an act of executive clemency, they said, "No; we would prefer Barabbas go than Jesus," yet Barabbas was the greatest menace to the race and to society at that time. THE ENEMIES OF THE U. N. I. A. These Negroes who have been unable to do any harm to the Universal Negro Improvement Association because of its potency, and because of the impotence of Negroes to harm each other, have sought the majesty of the United States Government to get the Federal authorities to do what they of themselves could not do. But there may be a sad disappointment in store for somebody. The Jews were disappointed, because after the crucifixion of Jesus the doctrine He taught took a greater turn and scattered itself around the world, and today man in every clime professes His faith. I wonder if these Negroes realize that they are but laying the foundation for a greater Universal Negro Improvement Association when they attempt by their wicked propaganda and tactics to hold up the only movement through which the race will see salvation. We are not disturbed, we are only amused at the action of these traitors of the race. They have written all kinds of letters, they have made all kinds of misrepresentations to the white press and to the Government authorities, but it generally turns out that the fellow who digs the pit for the other falls into it himself. What these Negroes hope to achieve by so designedly and wickedly misrepresenting a Negro movement that is seeking the interest of the four hundred A Newspaper Devoted Soley to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 NIZATIONS THAT D AGAINST GRE JEALOUS ON THE SUCCESS OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION RACE SHOULD MAKE IT "WARM" FOR EXPLOITERS WORLD-WIDE CAMPAIGN TO BE STARTED TO EXPOSE NEGRO SELF-SEEKERS AND ENEMIES OF RACE THE "LIE AND COLLECT CROWD" OF NEGROES million Negroes of the world it is impossible to imagine. If it were possible for them to do harm to the Universal Negro Improvement Association what would be the result but that in time harm would be done to themselves by the very agency that they are using now to defeat this great organization. If you show a thief how to break into your neighbor's house it is only a question of time when he will break into yours. So that we are giving these fellows all the rope they want; one of these days they will hang themselves. THE U. N. I. A. NOT ANARCHISTIC It is strange, however, to see that the officials of the Government could be so carried away with mis-information as to allege that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is anarchistic and desires to overthrow the government. Why, the very people who gave them the information are the ones who are anarchists and who are no doubt plotting to overthrow the Government. If they want anarchistic literature they will not look for it in the meeting places or offices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but if they will investigate a little more they will find that their informants, who are agents of the Bolshevists, are the ones who have all the anarchistic literature in their possession, in that they openly receive money from Moscow and consort with the Soviet Government for the destruction of all other governments. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not Socialist, Bolshevist nor anarchistic. We have absolutely no connection with any other organization but oursleves—we are proNegro. We believe that to be Socialists, Soviets, or what not, would be like being anything else among other people, and we are tired of following; we lead ourselves. The only connection we have is that which will make us a free and independent race of people on the continent of Africa. We have not to go to Russia for that; we have not to join the Socialist party for that. We can work for that ourselves. No one needs fear that the Universal Negro Improvement Association would waste its time joining any radical group of white men in any way for the overthrow of any government. No one could claim ever giving the Universal Negro Improvement Association one penny for spreading propaganda. Everything that we have done PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. & A. came through our own dimes and dollars, so that we have absolutely no obligation to anyone to make us anything else than what we are. THE CRITICS OF THE U. N. I. A. The Negroes who lead the anti-Universal Negro Improvement Association movements are of the type who have never been any use to the race, and will never be any, in that they fear the success of any real Negro movement which would detract from them the notoriety that they desire, which they generally use for the purpose of exploiting the ignorant of the race by presenting themselves as great leaders. The people are, however, gradually being awakened, and one of these fine mornings it would not be surprising if these so-called leaders find themselves deserted and despised by those whom they have deceived for so long. Since these enemy organizations are determined to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association by foul and unfair means, we promise them that we shall spare some time to present our case to the world as it should be and make it much harder for them to collect from the philanthropic whites whom they have tried to exploit for the last fourteen years. We shall let some of these men find useful occupations after we are through with them and not continue to live upon the charity of the sympathetic white people who have fed them under the belief of helping the race. Each of these leaders has his own pet group of white patrons to collect from, and that is why they viciously attack the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in that they realize that their occupations are going, and it is not so easy to collect now as before the organization came upon the scene, in that the white race is getting to understand that all Negroes are not beggars and that the representations that have been made to them before are false and inaccurate; hence, the tightening up upon these fellows who have had an easy time in collecting for philanthropic and uplift movements among Negroes. THE NEED OF UNITY Let all members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association unite the more throughout America and the world for the carrying through of the principles of this great organization. Now is the time for every loyal member to stand firm to the colors. The organization must be protected, and now is the time to do it. All divisions and members are requested to make an effort to pay their $1.00 assessment tax for this month of January, so as to enable the Parent Body to meet its annual budget. It is understood that no member will be regarded as financial except the $1.00 tax is paid. Pay this tax to your local immediately. With very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be GARVEY'S OPINION ON HARVARD CONTROVERSY REGARDING EXCLUSION OF NEGROES FROM THE FRESHMAN DORMITORY LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, January 11, 2022 - The large and enthusiastic gathering which assembled in Liberty Hall tonight furnished convincing testimony of the fact that the membership of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association remains firm in its adherence to and support of the principles of the organization and loyal and true to its leadership, despite the unrelenting efforts that are being made by the enemies to discredit the organization and place it in a bad light before the eyes of the world. to you that when based upon these bits clipped of this Northern clipping New York The letter reads as Worry To the l Anent Taking up the controversy that has arisen over the exclusion of colored students from the freshman dormitory of Harvard University and which has been the subject of a great deal of comment pro and con in the press of the country, Hon Marcus Garvey, in his address for the evening gave his first public expression of opinion regarding this matter. His analysis of the situation led to the conclusion that the views which have all along been held by the Universal Negro Improvement Association on the race question have been correct, and that the race problem will only be solved when Negroes take a sensible outlook on it himself, by laying a foundation for a permanent abiding place of their own. The spirit which has been expressed by President Lowell of Harvard, Mr. Garvey said, was only the expression of an attitude that was forced upon him by those who control the destiny of the country, therefore the criticism should go beyond President Lowell to where it belonged. The white man, said Mr. Garvey, had discovered the mistake which he made in granting educational opportunities to the Negro. It was an experiment by the white race he said, and they did not count for the result. They did not calculate that the educated colored man would ultimately take his place and position in the nation. Now that they have for twenty-five or thirty years educated the Negro and he is now fit, they are collating that the Negro is preparing himself for his social position, his economic and political position in the nation, and in that they see the danger of Harvard and other universities admitting Negroes. With concluding argument, Mr. Garvey showed that the white man in the North was no different from the white man in the South in his attitude toward the Negro, nor was the white Frenchman different from the white American when placed in a similar environment. The North today, he declared, in as prejudiced as the South, and because of its greater contact with the Negro a greater prejudice will develop in the North as a larger number of Negroes in the South migrate to the Northern sections of the country. There was but one sensible outlook, no said and that for us to lay a foundation for a permanent abiding place, and where could that be? Not in New York, nor in Chicago, nor in Philadelphia, because any time that the mob feels as they felt in Brussels, and they would drive Negroes out as they did in that little town, and the law would be powerless to prevent a Mr. Garvey's remarks led up to the attitude taken by the Negro agitators who were fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and in strong language he denounced them. They had realized, said he, that they can do nothing to impede the purpose of the association on, and so they have come to the State and Federal governments, saying that the organization was unarchalist; and was speaking against the State. But, said, Mr. Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is organizing for the greatest drive over undertaken by any organization, and at the end of 1923 we shall see our colors still flying with victory and honor, because of the service rendered to the organization by those who have caught the vision. MON.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEGRO WORLD THE INDESPENSABLE WEEKLY to you before I start my address in that whatsoever I will write, will be based upon the sentiment contained in these bits of news. One is a letter clipped from The New York World of this morning's date written by a Northern white man. The other is a clipping taken from this morning's New York Times. The letter to The New York World reads as follows Worrying About Social Equality To the Editor of The World Anent Harvard Mana letter regarding the attitude of Harvard back in the sixties toward a colored student let it be understood that in those days the North's attitude against slavery stretched many a point in favor of the colored man, where today the Northern attitude has changed considerably. Today the North will its large Negro colonies can understand and grasp the Southern viewpoint, where it could never understand before. That is why so many Northners have come around partly to the Southern viewpoint, and the South while reinquishing slavery, inverterranean keeps the Negro in his place. I personally have no prejudice against the Negro provided he keeps in his place, but it makes me blood沸 when I read of attacks on white women by blacks, as in suburban districts like rural New Jersey. It matters not that they are speedily convicted. Some Negroes are preaching the crazy doctrine of social equality with whites and I for one believe with the South that as long as a single Negro believes this theory we must watch the race closely. I believe blacks should be segregated in separate restaurants and compelled to live in their own districts, or else code them as separate State. It is coming to that I will forever stand with the South, owner against that crazy doctrine of social equality, and though I believe in fair treatment to the Negro in his place, with the right to rise to the highest places among his own, I believe the race is not equal to the white and would fight to the limit against social equality. The clipping from The New York Times reads as follows White Miners at Blanford Act After an Assault on a Young Girl "Blanford, Ind. Jan. 20 Nergue began leaving this mining town early this afternoon, following the warning issued by white residents to be out of the town by 7 o'clock tonight if they were unable to produce the unknown Nergue who assaulted Isabel Bales, 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs John Bales, last Thursday evening. "All available automobiles operating between Blanford and Clinton, Ind., were occupied by Negro passengers and several trucks were filled with household goods. Early this evening no serious clashes had been reported. The ultimatum ordering the Nergues out of town was adopted at a mass meeting of more than 400 white miners here this morning." Commenting on the above quoted extracts, Mr Garvey and The letter brings us back to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the things we have been talking about for the last five years—the things that some of these so-called Negro intellectuals have been trying to write us for. Now it comes right to their doors. The so-called educated Negro of the last twenty-five years believes himself a privileged person within the race and outside of the race, believes that the race question ended with his education and his personality and with his conduct, and that outside of that there was no race question. Hence, fellows like DuBois, after graduating from Harvard, and became acceptable to THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 Says President Lowell Is Only Voicing the Attitude of the Entire White Race in the Country—No One White Man Should Be Criticized—The Contention of the U. N. I. A. Is Upheld on the Solution of the Race Problem—Negroes Must Take a Sensible Outlook on the Race Question MUST LAY A FOUNDATION FOR A PERMANENT ABIDING PLACE OF THEIR OWN, THE ADMISSION OF NEGROES TO UNIVERSITIES WAS AN EXPERIMENT BY THE WHITE MAN—THE CONSEQUENCES WERE NOT COUNTED ON—THE DANGER IS NOW REALIZED WHEN THE NEGRO, THROUGH HIS EDUCATION, IS DEMANDING THE SAME POSITION AS OTHERS Garvey Denounces Group of Negro Agitators Who Are Fighting U. N. I. A.—They Have Done the Race Incalculable Harm—Failing to Impede the Movement, They Have Sought the Aid of the Government to Destroy It—U. N. I. A. Organizing for the Greatest Drive Ever Undertaken certain white people who were willing to patrol, probably the first group of educated Negroes after slavery, believe that the race question started and ended with him. Now they are suddenly awakened to the fact that the country is reorganizing itself to meet the new situation of the educated Negroes. life one who has passed through Southern white man the white man nearly all the venues that lead up to it once is no different from the higher education, and by this intellect white man in America or elsewhere It has improvement he has thrown off is only a difference of environment the position that he was compelled to Place each in the same environment except in the past century for the and each will enter in the same attitude the higher professions rule. The North was not a neighbor and position of today. The white man of the Negro in 1860 and poor to that day that was in the middle all years the former the North was not brought I was speaking to a lawyer no longer than a couple of days ago after the paper started to give publicity to this Harvard controversy between Lowell and others admitting the son of Bruce into the freshman dormitory and that their friend of mine made a statement calling attention to the fact that President Lilot had adopted a different attitude to President Lowell on the question whether colored men should be admitted as freshmen or not. Eliot raised the point that his administration did not exclude the Negro and was not prejudiced toward the Negro and Lowell contained the position that no Negro should be admitted under the circumstances. I told my lawyer friend that Lowell was not speaking for himself and that we were not to criticize Lowell for what he had said because Lowell was only representing the new spirit in the country, that he was only giving expression in an attitude that was forced upon him by those who control the destiny of the country, therefore the criticism should go beyond President Lowell to where it belongs. My lawyer friend said that colored were accepted in Harvard and have been ever since the eighteens. I said to him, that it correct, but we are far away from the eighteens now." An Experiment of the White North-erner My position was this, that when the colored man was admitted to Harvard it was an eminent of the Northern white people to discover what the Negro could do, given certain opportunities and educational privileges, and they did not count for the consequences, they did not count for the result. The result has been made manifest, the consequences are being seen today. When they admitted a colored man into Harvard and the different universities of the North with open arms it was only a question of curiosity and experiment, they never calculated that the educated colored man would ultimately take his place in society, they never calculated that the colored man would ultimately take his place and position in the nation. Now that they have for twenty-five or thirty years educated the Negro and he is now fit, they are realizing that the Negro is preparing himself for his social position, for his economic and political position in the nation, and in that they see the danger of Harvard and other universities admitting Negroes, in that the colored man of today—the Harvard graduate or the university graduate—is no longer a fit subject for the cottonfield, is no longer a fit subject for the plantation, but because of his higher education he is demanding a square deal in the world of affairs. Hence the graduate of Harvard and of any other university is looking toward the White House, is looking toward the Cabinet, is looking toward the great Federal positions of the country, and that brings up a new viewpoint to the white man who patronizingly and out of curiosity admitted him into the university in the eighties. Now what has happened? The average educated white man is no longer satisfied to be a graduate from the same school or the same college as the colored man, in that the black man adduces this argument: if by my education I have fitted myself even as you have, why should not I have the same opportunity, why should I not have the same privilege in government and within the nation? That is the new argument the advanced colored man is presenting to America and is presenting to the world. The white man cannot go back on the black man's education in view of the fact that he has passed through the same school he has passed through, and he has passed through the same university as he has, whether it is Harvard or any other university. Therefore there is absolutely no argument on education. The argument must be on something else, and the white men of the country who rule are not prepared to allow the Negro any longer to adduce that kind of argument to him. As we have said, the clash between the races is bound to come at some time or other. the more we fit ourselves by education for our places in society and for our places in the nation, in that the average colored man of this century is not like the colored man of th. past century. The colored man of the past century was a slave, had no ambition, had no outlook on life, did not know right from wrong; he was driven as a slave to perform the work of his master. The average Negro of today is an educated man well prepared in all the conditions of --- ```markdown ``` life one who has passed through nearly all the venues that lead up to higher education, and by this intellectual improvement he has thrown off the position that he was compelled to accept in the past century for the higher education the higher professions and positions today. The white man must that a man of all years the educational status of the Negro will be much more elevated and higher than it is now. It means, therefore, that a larger number of Negroes will be competing with white men for the privileged positions of the nation. The Consequences of Education The Consequences of Education You cannot educate a man and expect that he is going to remain the lowest in the great human element. By doing a man you are fitting him for a better and higher place in society. What are we going to do with these Negro doctors, lawyers and professors? Do you believe that the white people of this country are going to allow the higher intelligence of this country to prevail, to succeed to develop to the disadvantages of any element of white people in this country? When the time comes that this race will be properly fit for the higher positions of life and we start to demand them then the conflict between black and white will come. That is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association has condemned to point out. What is happening? Black men are alarming for higher positions in the nation, they want to be Secretary of State, they want to be State Treasurer, they want to be Assemblymen, they want to be Mayor, they want to be Senators, they want to be Cabinet officers, and they are even looking to ward the White House at Washington (Applause). As a result, something is bound to happen, because those are the jobs that the other people want. The other people do not want to pick cotton, they do not want to plant potatoes, they do not want to be savven- other people want the big positions of the country. They want them because of their fitness, and you and I want them because of our fitness—because we have passed through the same schools, through the same colleges, through the same universities. Here are two fellows, one whose muscle is well developed, another one pony and helpless and physically unfit, but the two fellows want the same job, they desire the same thing, now what is going to happen? A fight is bound to ensue between them for, the position or the thing. Who is bound to win, the fellow whose muscles are most developed or the sickly, pony fellow? The fellow who is too weak is bound to yield the objective to the stronger fellow. That is the relative position between black and white. The white people are developed by strength of numbers by brute force, therefore, the object that the pony Negro wants is bound to lose if the other fellow wants it. The other fellow wants the Presidency of the nation, he wants the great political jobs, he wants to be Governor of the State, he wants to be Mayor, he wants to be Police Commissioner, he wants to be Health inspector, and, therefore if you aspire for those things you must pay the penalty of competition. Law Powerless Against Mass Movement Some will say that by the law by the force of government the Negro will be able to hold his own Let me toll you there is no government, there is no law when the passion of the people is aroused. Government rests on the executive expression of the will of the people and when the people become actuated by any passion, by any mass movement or mass action, there is no government and there is no law I refer you for proof of that to the report that comes from that little town in Indiana. There is law in Indiana, there is government in Indiana, but the passion of the people was aroused over certain things and in the space of twenty-four hours they look the law and the government into their hands and drove every Negro out of that little town. What becomes of the law? What becomes of the government? The law and the government for that moment are helpless. Assistance Not Expected from Government Therefore, Negroes need not in the future expect any assistance from the government when this terrible clash for the survival of the finest race comes about. And that is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been talking about for the last five years. The North Has Discovered the Mistake That man truly expresses the present opinion of the North, when he says the North has found out its mistake. That is what I told the lawyer friend of mine whom I was speaking to the other day, and you have often heard me say in Liberty Hall that the Northern white man is no different from the Southern white man, the white man in Iowa is no different from the white man in America or elsewhere. It is only a difference of environment. Place each in the same environment and each will entertain the same attitude. The North was not a neighbor of the Negro in 1860 and prior to that there for the North was not brought face to face with the problem of the South and the North was willing therefore assuming a larger humanity, to go down to the South and force through the Civil War. The principle of all men free, no one should a slave. It was an assumption maintained and supported because they were not face to face with the problem. Let me tell you that the North would not have gone to the South with a Civil War at this time or any future time with the experience that they have had of the Negro now in the North States, one of their kind brings us to the town from the North today as a predecessor as the South and feels the same toward the Negro as the South does because of its greater contact with the Negro at this time and a greater predecessor will develop in the Northern States of America as a larger number of Negroes in the North migrate to the Northern sections of this country. Some prophecy that in 1823 two million Negroes will migrate from the South to the North and that will mean that race prejudice in the North will go up 40 per cent. It will only be a transferance of the problem of the South to the North in fullest Negroes Must Look for an Abiding Place Therefore I want you to realize that the president of the race is universal. There is out one sensible outlook, and that is for us to lay a foundation for a permanent abiding place. Where can we lay a foundation for a permanent abiding place? Can we say it in New York? (Cries of No!) Can we lay it in Philadelphia? Can we lay it in Chicago? Any time that the mob feels in New York or in Chicago or in Philadelphia as the mob felt in that little town in Indiana then we will have to chug our minds just at that minute where our permanent abiding place will be. I may not live to old age, and I cannot a prophet but I am just an observer of the trend of things a student of political happenings and political movements I am, and for ten or twenty or fifty years more but the of you who will be living around New York lifes work from now you will remember what Marus Garvey is going now. If you don't get busy and lay a permanent foundation of your own somewhere there is going to be a universal moving day in Harlem later on (Laughter). There are no going to be enough automobiles and enough pashers to move you out of Harlem quick enough to escape the mob. The Ku Klux Klan in Harlem And, by the way, that crazy bunch of Negro agitators who have been talking about the Ku Klux Klan and that it could not come to New York and, perhaps, be surprised to learn that the Ku Klux Klan in right around Harlem's Great Educational Forum LIBERTY HALL 120 to 148 West 138th St. Open Every Night for the Instruction of the Colored People of the City of New York Speeches Are Delivered Every Night by PROMINENT SPEAKERS Big Variety Musical Program Full Force of the Universal Band Every Night Accommodations for 6,000 People Nightly DOORS OPEN From 7:30 to 11:30 P.

Those of you who read the papers this morning and yesterday saw what they said—that they are organizing in defiance of everything in New York Stop Talking and Organize Before we waste our time worrying and talking about other folks, if we spent that time organizing ourselves into one solid whole, we would better advance this great cause of ours and solve this great problem that has been confronting us for the last hundred years. (Appause.) As I have said before, and as I will say again the question of the Negro is not with the other follows, the question is with himself, and these agitators have done us more harm and are still doing us more harm than we can calculate, and all they say and do amounts to nothing, they have not even the manhood to stand up and wake a good light all of them are afraid of jail and they seem to believe that the leaders of the U.S. Negro Improvement Association are afraid of jail. We are made up of different stuff. The leaders of this association are not afraid of jail and if I know of anyone who is afraid of jail he will go tomorrow morning (Laughter.) The jail on the part of those who lead is the first opening for liberty and for African freedom, and if you cannot, so to jail you cannot see a free and redeemed Africa. And we have to go some of us further than the jail, and when I am going to jail, nobody please cry because this part of my job. (Laughter.) While some are in jail the rest will be outside inspired by the cause that took the others to jail to carry the work on. (Appause.) If I ever should remain in jail for longer in a twenty four hours let that be the greatest inspiration to carry the colors of the red the black and the green toward the hills of Africa. (Appause.) If I know that every minute spent in jail will bring so many more Negroes to the U.S. Negro Improvement Association I will go into the jail for the balance of the year. So we leaders are not afraid of the jail. That Rundolph Owen bunch are great leaders. They feel that the best way to get even with an organization that they (cannot control and that they) cannot put out of business is to go to somebody else who is in power: the same person who we are supposed to be organized to free ourselves from to their dirty work. That reflects the characters of the leaders we have in the race. These Negro agitators are doing just what the Jews did in the early Christian age. A man by the name of Jesus came around some time ago and was trying to do some good for the Jews, and some of the Jews got jealous of him, and said, "This fellow is getting too many people with him and later on may become the biggest Jew in town. We cannot allow this man to be such a big man in town, therefore we must get him." And the Jews got together and said, "What can we do? We can only talk because we have no power, we have no judges, not even an ordinary policeman can arrest him and if we touch him he will have is looked up and the Roman authorities will send us to prison. The best thing we can do is! frame him up. And they got the Roman government to hold hold of him because they were the law they were the judges and the governors. They said, "We will frame him up and tell so many lies on him that they are bound to get him." And they got together and framed up Jesus and the Roman government came and got him. And when they got hold of him they threw their hats in the air and shouted because they got this man. And when they brought the man to trial the Roman government did not care more about one man than the other for they were all Jews together so they were not interested in sending this man to jail, because he was not interfering with the honor and repatriation of my Roman citizen, and the Roman was not jealous of the Jew, because the Jew was nobody. All the Jews were jealous of Jesus because He was the best-known Jew at the time. So they said, "This man is talking against Caesar and against the State, and has committed treason. He is preaching the doctrine of rebellion among the peaceful Jews and among the peaceful citizens of the Roman State, and they said to the Roman judge, 'if you do not convict this man you are not a friend of Caesar,' so he was placed in such an awful pigtail that he could not afford it to be said that the representative of Caesar wasn't a friend of Caesar. So they forced him into the corner where he had to decide against Jesus, but the man knew Jesus had done no wrong. Then after Jesus was condemned he still hoped to get his conscience clear by letting Jesus go. In that it was given to him at a certain time to let go one of the criminals who was condemned, and he hoped the opportunity would be given to him to let Jesus go. When the time came for the condemned men to be crucified he called the people together and asked them to choose between Barabbas, the robber who had terrified the town for many years, and Jesus. But they cried out "Give us Jesus and let Barabbas go." And they crucified Jesus because they were jealous of his success in leading the people and having the people following him. That brings us to the position and the character of these men. They realize that they cannot do anything but Dubois, Pickens, Randolph and Tween and the whole bunch of them together and they will be defeated every time. They realize this, they know they can do nothing to impede the purpose of the University Negro Improvement Association, they know that if let alone we will just push them out of the way, and go on organizing Negroes throughout the country and throughout the world. So they say, "We cannot handle Carvey and his organization, let us go to the State or Federal government and tell them something about them, let us say they are ambushers and seditionists, and are speaking against the State." And so we have a relative position at this time. But what do we care? I focus paid the price for Christiunt, and those who profess leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must make up their mind to pay the price of a free and redeemed Africa (Applause). We go forth to the world undoubted in our determination to carry the colors to victory. So at this time let the world know that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is organizing for the greatest drive ever undertaken by any organization, and at the end of 1923 you shall see our colors still flying—flying with honor, flying with victory because of the service rendered to the organization by those who have caught the vision. I thank you for the support you have given in the past, and I feel sure that your support in the future will not be questioned. (Applause) ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Medical authorities state that most nine tenths of the causes of stomach trouble indigestion, sourness, burning gas bloating, nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which causes a lack of digestive juice. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sources, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. All digestive agents are not needed in the body to help heal harm.

Philip Brown of Labor Department Will Sail for Virgin Islands to Conduct Inquiry Into Conditions Mr. Brown Will Report Direct to the President on Conditions Existing Now A distinguished visitor to the city yesterday was Hon Phil Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation, attached to the Department of Labor, Washington, Mr Brown is a Negro whose counsels are very much sought after by the Federal Government in connection with matters pertaining to industry where Negro labor is used. He has made exhaustive study of the conditions under which the members of the race work in various parts of the Union and will shortly be leaving the United States on a very important mission which should be of vital concern to colored people. As Nigel Timms describes are aware the Virgin Islands came into the possession of the United States of America to purchase from Denmark. Although several persons had the purchase at the beginning of a new era for the people who inhabit these little islands in the West Indies there were others who knew the kind of treatment the court man was likely to receive from the American white man, especially if he happened to be from the Southern States. The fears of the shippers seem to have been realized for there are persistent reports that the erstwhile contented adult and is are meeting things pretty rough at the hands of the present administration which funnies through the channels of the United State Navy department. The people in a state of helplessness and it is said a diving out an existence on the inimitable average pitfall of the ocean is a day. Latest advice report them to be on a deplorable condition. There is however one native that is the interest of his little life and love and he is Mr. Humboldt. He has recently returned from Denmark—the country to which the islands formerly owed allegiance and so grieved as he at the sight of his fellow countrymen that after a careful difficulty and almost an immense opposition he succeeded in securing an audience with President Harding on the subject. According to what the 'Negro Times' gathered Mr. Harding was much and over the entire affair and promised that he would give it his most serious attention. The result is that he has selected Mr. Phill Brown to proceed to the islands and give him first-hand information as well as to suggest improvements for the peoples settlement. Mr. Brown is scheduled to save the United States on or about the first important mission on or about the first of February. It is underscored that the islanders are in no good, gentle frame of mind since the depiction of the presiding elder of the Mediastin Church who dared the authorities not snook out in no mood menon in their cold state. Mr Brown of the Negro Times understates was one of the principal subjects of the Federal Government when the proposal was launched to secure a court a punished thousand American Negroes to devise the labor shortage in Hawaii. He pointed out that Negroes would be unable to compete with the easy cheap help and the result is that the project fell through.

MARKE, DELEGATE TO GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS Capt. E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legions—Dr. Dingwall and Dr. H. H. Jones of Liberia, Africa, Welcomed by the St. Louis Division No. 162 For some time you have had no word from the Middle West. Not that we are less interested in the principle of the N. A. A. not that we are attending still in our activities, but that we were waiting until we had received all of the shining lights of the University we were out on their tour bringing victorious messages to us that one day, not far distant our hope will be realized and every calamity will be dissolved into universal sunshine. It has been our good fortune since September 14, 1922 to have with us wonderful speakers who have dedicated their lives for the uplift of our race. Dr H H Jones, for years a missionary in Liberia Africa, brought to us the truth from our motherland. The great need for those who can touch is not religion but the industrial side and the most needed industry is farming. So interesting was he in his description of the richness of the soil in Africa that when he had finished more than 300 who were present could hardly wait for the U N I A ship to take us over. His aim is to build a private hospital, and at the close of his lecture many subscriptions were given to him. Following next to visit was Dr Dingwall, a real U N I A, who fully explained the greatness and glory of helping all the people if we would help build a universal hospital. Dr Dingwall in his gentle manner gave us valuable information, and we are waiting his early return to help him financially in the great plan of his to build. a universal hospital in Africa. So fast and so often these intellectual stars come to us that we begin to feel that the St Louis Division is doing great work for this grand cause, and I assure you that we do appreciate their storehouse of knowledge. No, the scene was our own Capt E L. Gaines and Auditor Ell Garcia, each in his own particular way most interesting. Every night for a week Liberty Hall had many eager to know more and more about these mighty problems confronting our race and listened with keen interest as these two gentlemen showed reasons for cementing our forces for the building of a nation. Capt K. L. Gaines fell a victim to the flu while here and though sorry for his illness we were mighty glad to have his stay prolonged, for he brought to our division a spirit of love and a closer relationship for each other. During his stay we enrolled many new members and now all one can hear at Liberty Hall is "We wish Daddy Gaines would come back to us." Both he and Mr. Garcia made many warm friends in the St. Louis Division. The next interesting news came by telegram from Hon. Marcus Garvey that the radio service would come to us and so on December 17. we arranged for our delegates from the League of Nations We were somewhat disappointed when the entire delegation did not arrive, but it was our great pleasure to extend welcome to Hon G O Marke their chairman. We wish to congratulate whoever it was that made up the program for sending us a gentleman of such great distinction. The progressive view of Hon G O Marke for race advancement and his appeal to the people for greater faith in this great cause were well received by all He said. "The ideal back of it all is the thing for which we must work and work hard," and in a very high class way he made known the cause of his visit to us. Sunday, January 14, the clinix was reached when Mrs. George of Texas a missionary from Africa, brought a beautiful message to us and told we want more love for our brothers in far off Africa and they sent her to us for help. Mrs George was born in Texas and went to Liberia, Africa, December, 1912. Worked five and one-half years. Her motto is in accord with that of Hon Marcus Garvey "Africa for Africans." She founded the Since Baptist Mission. We enjoyed her talk very much. Each of the visitors to our division was given a reception, telling as best we could our appreciation of them. And, says our president, Mr. S. R. Wheat, so many stars we have had with us and enjoyed equally that we do not see how we will get along without them now. Our lady presideh, Mr. J. R. Ditto, was very active with t.e. entertainment for our guest, and to her much honor is given. She's all right. Although we are small in number, we are growing and hope soon to have reached the heart of every man and woman in our city. All of our meetings are wonderful demonstrations of the unity of spirit, and this new year we have doubled our efforts for the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 SELECT CROWD ATTENDS SONG RECITAL BY WILLIAM SERVICE BELL, BARITONE HOWARD UNIVERSITY CHORAL SOCIETY TO APPEAR IN "THE MIKADO" WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 22.—The Howard University Choral Society is planning to appear in "The Mikado, or The Town of Titipu," a Japanese comic opera in two acts with words by W. S. Gilbert and music by Sir Arthur Sullivan, about the first week in March, 1923, at the Lincoln Theatre. Washington, D. C. All of the principal characters will be taken by students of Howard University, and the full chorus of the Choral Society will be the supporting cast This opera is comic in nature, full of action, and exceptional in its technique. It was first produced at the Havoy Theatre in London, England, March 14, 1885, and has maintained popularity ever since. The characters have been selected with unusual care. The dramatis personae are as follows: The Mikado of Japan, Louis E. King, Nanki-Poo (this son, disguised as a wandering minstrel and in love with Yum-Yum), E. T Hemby, Ko-Ko (Lord High Executioner of Titupu), J. B. Majors; Poo Bah (Lord High Everything Else), George Daisy, Pish-Tush (a noble lord), L. White, Yum-Yum, Pitt-Iling and Peep-Bo are three sisters, wards of Ko-Ko. These characters are represented respectively by Melb Bullock, Anola Miller and Helen Hartwell. These young women are specializing in music and are students of the School of Music Katiehan (an elderly lady in love with Nanki-Poo) is played by Analise Cottrell, also a product of the School of Music The Howard University Choral Society has already won the favor of the public in its presentations of "Hiawatha" and "The Messiah". This is the first appearance in opera and from every indication the public will receive a rare treat HARLEM WEST 135TH ST.

SELECT CROWD AT SONG RECITAL SERVIC One of the finest receptions that a musical artist could wish to receive was William Service Bell's, when he rendered a "Recital of Song" at the St James's Presbyterian Church. 87 West 13th street, Monday evening, January 15. The crowd that greeted America's talented, Negro baritone was representative of the culture and artistic spirit of Negro New York. Mr. Bell, who was a student of David Blapham, perhaps the greatest baritone America has known, is often spoken of as "second only to Noland Hays". He has a fine, rich golden voice that is instantly adored by all those, who have had the pleasure of hearing it. In culture, in professional equip- highest good of the cause, and may "New mericles, new blessings, new light on the way; New praise in the morning, new songs in the night." be yours this new year, is the wish from the St. Louis Division. We are glad to note the return of one of our active workers from Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Callie Charles, and, to say the least, she is strong on singing "Home, Sweet Home." VICTORIA WALLACE TURNER. General Secretary. A case that has caused unusual comment because of the large amount paid in settlement thereof, considering the slightness of the injuries, has been that of Lawrence Houston, colored, of 2 West 13th street. Lawrence Houston and a girl companion were crossing 133d street and Fifth avenue on the afternoon of May 30, 1922, when an automobile truck belonging to the Standard Tallow Company of New Jersey struck both of them, causing the death of the girl and injuries to Lawrence Houston. He was immediately removed to Harlem Hospital, where he remained for three weeks, being discharged as cured and requiring no further medical attention. Abraham Oberstein, of 200 Fifth avenue, who has appeared as counsel and so ably represented many of our colored men in this community, appeared as attorney for the Houston boy. Immediately after the happening of this accident Counselor Oberstein procured the arrest and indictment of the chauffeur by the Grand Jury, and instead of awaiting this case to be reached in its regular order, Attorney Oberstein moved the court for a preference, which was granted, and the case set for immediate trial, thereby saving his client the usual delay of about two years while awaiting a case to be reached in the Supreme Court. When the case was called for trial a few days ago Attorney Oberstein announced that he was fully ready for an immediate trial, and thereupon the attorneys for the Standard Tallow Company, well knowing the legal capabilities of Counselor Oberstein, made overtures for a settlement of this action, which has now resulted in a settlement in the sum of $6,000. From the money that young Houston has obtained he is now attending a private school, and, having no parents, he has taken his grandmother, Mrs Georgia Robinson, from their former home, where Mrs. Robinson was the janitress and whom young Lawrence assisted in their present home at 3 West 13th street, care Richards, where they live in very comfortable surroundings, and all this is due to the wonderful efforts of Counselor Oberstein in behalf of his client. ANNUAL FINANCIAL DRIVE OF HARLEM Y. M. C. A. Plans are being perfected for the coming annual financial drive of the West 131th Street Branch of the M. C. A. The teams and workers are being organised under the leadership of the various secretaries. Much enthusiasm was manifested at the last meeting. The workers are very much encouraged over the phenomenal success of last year in so far as the branch is concerned financially. The figures for the year as compared with last year were as follows. Total receipts for 1922 were $711,396.48; for 1921, $63,899.21. The expenditures for 1922 amounted to $69,868.72 as compared with $64,978.53 in 1921. The surplus for 1922 amounted to $1,527.76 as compared with a deficit in 1921 of $2,089.83. The budget this year calls for expenditures of $77,944.84. To bring this amount the branch must raise $5,389.84 in contributions for the year. The various branches of the association have combined in a United Financial Drive during the month of January in order to raise the amount necessary for the branches. The West 135th Street workers are looking forward to be able to make a full report at the United T. M. C A. Commodore Hotel Dinner on January 30. Friends of the association are urged to send annual contributions in to the office at once. All checks payable to A. T. Anderson treasurer The work of the branch is in a very healthy condition and the extensive program planned for 1923 is sure to place the association in the forefront for the work in this country. ment.

This commission is headed by the Governor and its membership of eight, half of them colored is made up of representative leaders in all lines, including the State Superintendent of Education who is one of its most sympathetic members. It will be seen therefore that it is a most influential body, capable of bringing things to pass. The work is directed by the James Bond, a colored leader of ability and the spirit who has had the sympathy and co-operation of the best people of the State. The efforts of the committee during the past year were largely directed toward better school facilities for Negroes. Remarkable results were attained in the following. A $125,000 high school addition, a new school and the improvement of others, in Louisville a $100,000 high school in Lexington in enlargement of high school at Richmond new buildings at Mayfield Jackson La Grange and other points, participation in proceeds of school bond issue in Bowling Green Owenhaven and Middleboro, and additional teachers and increased anglies in certain places. The Director was asked by the State Superintendent of Education to outline a program for the betterment of the Negro school system of the State and suggested the appointment of a colored supervisor the raising of the State Normal to college grade and the establishment of a new State Normal. This program was accepted the first two steps have already been taken, and the third is confidently expected next year. The Director was asked to inform also in bearing the eight colored summer normals, and was requested to address them all on the subject of interacial cooperation. He has taken the same message to the principal white colleges of the State and has been heard sympathetically, everywhere of these great schools have courses in interacial relations and plans are under way to put such courses in others. Better playground facilities have been secured in Louisville, Mayfield and Jackson and plans are under way for a municipal swimming pool in Louisville. Legal and has been extended in certain cases privilege of membership in the Strawberry Association has been secured for the Negroes of Warren County. A Nigorous Health Week campaign was conducted reaching 60,000 people and one tense situation which threatened mobile violence was cleared up. In addition to the State Interracial Commission there are about seventy county committees in Kentucky most of them functioning effectively. The method is that of frank concrete and sympathetic co-operation. A GREAT CONTRAST --- Jan. 22, 1923 There is a great contrast between the native African and his Western brother in regards the pride of color Negroes in the Western World, who happen to be light-skinned, seem so agitistic about it, not thinking for a moment how it came about. It is disgusting, though amusing, to listen to them criticizing their darker brothers and sisters. In the Negro Times of Jan. 19 there appeared an editorial, entitled, "An African Chief in London." The last sentence reminds us of the incident of several years ago, when King Edward VII invited an African chief to a garden party and asked the famous beauty, Mrs. Lilly Langtry, to make the African feel at home. Mrs. Langtry did this so well that she captivated the African who cried: "Oh, madam, if you were only black you would be irresistible." A Western Negro, especially in the days of this incident, and even today, might not have have as the African old openly, but in his mind he would have yelled, "If I was only white" What a contrast in the pride of color; while the Western Negro would wish he was white, the African thought what might have been if she was black. Let the U. N. I. A. keep up (gr propanda, for not until the Negr) is proud to be black or whatever color he be, and believe like the African that his color is as good or better than the white man. will the race accomplish the great ideal for which it is now struggling? You're for African redamption. A LOYAL MEMBER. MR. JOHN HAUGHTON ORGANIZES A SOCIETY Mr. John Haughton, some of whose poems and essays have been published in The Negro World, contemplates organizing a society to help those who, the victims of circumstances, have straysed from the path of restitution and come in contact with the law. DEFENSE FUND FOR THE NEW ORLEANS DIVISION OF THE U. N. I. A. AND DYER AND SHAKESPEARE, INNOCENT MEN CHARGED WITH THE DEATH OF J. W. H. EASON The enemies of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are endeavoring to fasten upon the organization the responsibility for the shooting and death of J. W. H. Eason in New Orleans. Two members of the New Orleans division of the association—Dyer and Shakespeare—upon the false charge of one of Eason's women, are now held for the crime. These men have declared their innocence, and it now becomes the duty of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to defend them: Subsequent to the arrest of Dyer and Shakespeare the police authorities of New Orleans raided a meeting of the New Orleans division and arrested all of its officers, including the first assistant secretary-general, Hon. Thomas W. Anderson, who was sent from headquarters to investigate the arrest of Dyer and Shakespeare. The enemies of the association are responsible for the above occurrences, as it will appear that they are endeavoring to use the authorities to intimidate the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as they themselves were unable to harm the greatest Negro movement in the world. It becomes the duty of every member throughout the world to rally to the defense fund for the New Orleans division. All divisions throughout the United States of America and abroad are hereby requested to lift a special collection next Sunday for the defense fund of the New Orleans division and to telegraph on Monday morning the amount to the parent body, 56 West 135th street, New York.

Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. THE MIRRORS OF CIVILIZATION WE have already referred to "The Mirrors of Downing Street," presumably by Mr. Oliver; "The Mirrors of Washington," by a correspondent, and "Toward Higher Ground," by Dr Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University. There are two attitudes that thoughtful Caucasians assume toward the regnant Anglo-Saxon civilization. There are those who, like Lothrop Stoddard, Madison Grant and Henry Fairfield Osborne, think that it is perfect and that the Nordics are the "Uber Mensch"—the supermen among mortals. And there are those who saw like Emerson, Norton of Harvard and Sumner and Ladd of Yale, and who see like the authors of the two books and the address previously mentioned that it can be improved. There is no doubt that the buildings, the bridges, the subways, the tubes under riverbeds, the automobile, the locomotive, the palatial steamships, the microscope, the telescope, the X-ray, the radio, the electric light, the vitascope, the graphophone, the telephone, the telegraph and the wireless telegraphy, the submarine and the airplane, which enable us to transform night into day, move rapidly over land or water, go under the water like a fish and up in the air like a bird, to bridge chasms, tunnel under riverbeds and annihilate space, transcend the wildest dreams and imaginings of the Periclean or Augustan age. There are more marvels and wonders in New York city alone than there were in Rome, Carthage, Athens, Cairo, Alexandria, Thebes, Damascus, Ephesus, Jerusalem, Babylon and Nineveh combined in ancient times. There are more architectural, bridge building and engineering masterpieces in New York city alone than there were in the ancient Roman Empire, which stretched in its palestest days from the one end of Germany to the Sahara desert, from the British Isles to the Indian empire in Asia. There are seven marvels in and around Harlem alone that could share with the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. These are the college of the City of New York, one of the buildings of Columbia University, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Morningside Park (out of the rocks), Riverside Drive, and the Broadway and Bronx subways. Then the big railroads, the big factories, the big department stores and the representative government in the United Stats would have dazzled the ancients. But resplendent as is modern civilization on its material side, the judicious have observed that there is considerable room for improvement on the spiritual side. "THE MIRRORS OF DOWNING STREET" "The Mirrors of Downing Street" is a remarkable book. It shows that England is producing clever politicians and opportunists instead of great statesmen. It shows that David Lloyd George, the Rt. Hon. Mr. Asquith, the Rt. Hon. Arthur Balfour and the Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill lost their grip and influence upon English affairs because in crises they sacrificed principle to expediency. It shows how they lacked the courage and high principle to boldly indorse and back up Lord Haldane, Secretary of State for War, when he was falsely accused of flirting with Germany in delaying war preparations. But in reality his splendid preparations paved the way for the mobilizing and speedily dispatching of troops across the English channel to the Continent. And he, more than David Lloyd George, won the war for England. The book also refers to Lord Fisher, blunt but brilliant, courageous and whole souled; to Lord Kitchener, mediocre but courageous, and to Lord Haldane and Lord Carnock, men of vision, intellectual grasp, courage and high principle, who are and were the silver lining in England's dark political cloud. "The Mirrors of Downing Street" was written by a statesman, a prophet and a preacher of righteousness. And the author will go down in history as a moral force in English life and politics. "THE MIRRORS OF WASHINGTON" "The Mirrors of Washington" is a brilliant hook. It aptly summarizes the careers and sizes up the personalities of Warren G. Harding, Woodrow Wilson, George Harvey, Charles Evans Hughes, Edward Mandell House, Herbert Clark Hoover, Henry Cahot Lodge, Bernard Mannes Baruch, Elihu Root, Hiram Warren Johnson, Philander Chase Knox, Robert Lansing, Boies Penrose and William Edgar Borah. It runs somewhat afield when it states, that it is a disappointment that Mr. Lodge accomplished so little, that Mr. Knox might have been President but for his superciliousness and that Elihu Root might have been President of the United States or Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or given to the United States Senate greater weight and influence or been Secretary of State under Mr. Harding if distrust of him had not barred the way. It is a matter of general knowledge that some of America's greatest statesmen and most brilliant orators, like Alexander Hamilton, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, Charles Sumner, James G. Blaine, Roscoe Conkling, Thomas Brackett Reed and Charles Evans Hughes, did not land in the White House. The masses do not warm up to an intellectual man. If he is intellectual, magnetic and courageous the political bosses will be afraid of him. If he sacrifices principles to expediency the masses will distrust him. If he is a brave crusader, like Teddy Roosevelt, the bosses will endeavor to head him off. So if he is an intellectual giant, whether he compromises or does not compromise, he will find it difficult to land in the White House. "TOWARD HIGHER GROUND" "Toward Higher Ground," a published address by Dr. Nicholas Hunter Butler, president of Columbia University, stamps him as a col- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 lege president of the type of Dr Theodore Dwight Woolsey and Dr. Charles W. Eliot of Harvard, men of vision and courage, men of breadth of culture and high ideals, who endeavored to lift the moral tone of American life as a whole. The address begins by saying "The panorama that unfolds before the traveler who goes directly from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific is unexamined in its varied and compelling interests. The large, quickly succeeding cities of the Atlantic seaboard are followed by the flat country beyond the Alleghanies, and that by the prairies, with their score of cities, towns and villages, their busy factories and their fertile farms. After the prairie come the plains, rising from the Missouri River like the great ground swell of the ocean and carrying vast acres of corn and wheat and enormous herds of horses, sheep and cattle. The Rocky Mountains, with jagged peaks and fertile parks between, divide the waters of the continent. Then for hundreds of miles are arid lands, bad lands and desert, dotted with oases and having a charm that is all their own. Finally, the traveler, going over the top of the Sierra range, plunges down into the golden gardens of California and the waters of the Pacific come up to his feet." This is a powerful and picturesque bit of writing, and brilliantly characterizes America. There is so much thought and wisdom and sound political philosophy packed and compressed into the eighteen pages of this pamphlet that we have not space to do justice to it here, and will reserve consideration of it until next week. But this pamphlet and books like "Mirrors of Downing Street" and "Mirrors of Washington" are needed in England and America today to reuse them from their smug complacency and to let them know that the millionum has not yet arrived. W H P THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PRESIDENT LOWELL WE have received letters asking our view of the significance of President Lowell's action in excluding colored students from the Harvard freshman dormitories. It indicates two things. First, that President Abbott Lawrence Lowell no longer views the Negro with a sympathetic, but with a critical eye, secondly, that viewing him with a critical eye, he has not been overimpressed by the intellectuality and personality of the colored students, colored representatives of Southern schools and colored citizens of Boston that he has met in the fifteen years that he has been president of the university to which Dr Charles W. Ehlot and his associates gave world fame. It only means that the Negro is now up against the "struggle for existence" and "the survival of the littest." He cannot hope much longer to expect sympathy because he is colored, but only recognition because of his individual worth and intellectual, financial and political prestige. Let the Negro get knowledge in his head, grace in his heart, skill in his hands and money in his pockets, let him become a factor to be reckoned with industrially, commercially and politically and he will win his way in spite of opposition, as the Jews have There have always been two types of Caucasians in the North. They existed in antebellum days, in reconstruction days, and they exist today. The one type is represented by Dr. Charles W. Ehlot, president emeritus of Harvard University, who believes that the worth of a man resided in the gray matter in his brain and the nobility of his soul rather than in the color of his skin. The other type is represented by Dr. Abbott Lawrence Lowell, who says in substance, "The Negro is inferior. I am from Missouri. You must show me." It is up to the Negro, by the cumulative force of his personality, character, deeds and achievements to convince Dr. Lowell and other Doubting Thomases that the Negro is made out of the same clay as the rest of mankind, that he can keep abreast of modern civilization, make contributions to it and is advanced intellectually, aesthetically and ethically to the point where he is fit to dwell under the same roof which houses the descendants of the Nordic race, which borrowed its civilization from the Romans, Greeks, Hebrews and Arabians, and now crowds like the cock that St. Peter he'd after he denied his Lord and Master. THE FORCES OF LIBERTY At this moment the forces working for a liberalism are beset on all sides by the howls. On one hand the Ku Klux Klan is determined for white democracy, on the other the street are emitting a trail of pale green smoke to the radical challenge. Then, it is hell! It is hell to live! It is hell! Once on the other side of the fence—on liberalism—it is impossible to turn back! On and on the mighty emancipated soil there is no turning back. And of the hour is courage Courage to stuff jaws, to put the fear of God into our heels. Negro needs at this moment For a crisis in black man is ready to back up by a flawless for the rights and privileges society accol. On all sides the enemy is testing us A courage? Are we really in earnest about this? Are we really? Couraging. A unified front is the only to Negro. Scanning a single edition of the more Henry Ford is to publicly speak at a meeting we find the Negro population of an Indian 400 white miners because a twelve-year-old have been raped supposedly by a Negro man staking his life to "Keep Negro what are we drifting to?" War, civil war seems to be the only way out Society as it osperping on the lust and promises of bigotry in this cloud of dust and darkness and traps most better to be dead than to be black Just at this moment the forces working for a broader sweep of liberalism are beset on all sides by the howling capitalist pack. On one hand the Ku Klux Klan is determined to make America safe for white democracy, on the other the silent pyramids of Wall Street are emitting a trail of pale green smoke—the bourgeois retort to the radical challenge. Black men, it is hell! It is hell to live! It is hell to be black and radical. Once on the other side of the fence—on the fence of progressive liberalism—it is impossible to turn back. There is no turning back! On and on the mighty emancipated soul stalks, on, on, on. There is no turning back The need of the hour is courage. Courage to stuffen our backs, to steel our jaws, to put the fear of God into our hearts. That is what the Negro needs at this moment. For a crisis is ahead of us. Unless the black man is ready to back up by a flawless united front his demand for the rights and privileges society accords a man—he is doomed. On all sides the enemy is testing us. Are we strong? Have we courage? Are we really in earnest about this human rights business? Are we really? It is discouraging. A unified front is the only thing that will save the Negro. Scanning a single edition of the morning paper we find that Henry Ford is to publicly speak at a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan, we find the Negro population of the Indiana town driven out by some 400 white miners because a twelve-year-old girl is alleged to have been raped supposedly by a Negro, we find a "Brooklyn" man staking his life to "Keep Negroes in their places"—What are we drifting to? War, civil war, Anarchism, Chaos. It seems to be the only way out. Society as it is today constituted is prospering on the last and promises of bigotry and prejudice. For the Negro in this cloud of dust and darkness and tragic disillusionments it is almost better to be dead than to be black. THOMAS McCANTS STEWART ult to credit the news from St. Thomas, W omas McCants Stewart is dead there. It w days that he sat in our office and went exciting times we had gone through in the place in New York city to secure a place o IT is difficult to credit the news from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, that Thomas McCants Stewart is dead there. It was only in the late holidays that he sat in our office and went over with us some of the exciting times we had gone through in the early struggles of the race in New York City to secure a place on the political and civil map. Beginning way back thirty years ago, Mr. Stewart was not only in the thickest of the fight but a leader in law, in politics and in church and civic upl it work. He helped dig the foundation of everything the race has in New York City and Brooklyn. He and Dr. William H. Brooks of St. Mark's Church and the editor of the Negro Times were co-workers in those days with many other able and devoted men and women, most of whom, like Mr. Stewart, have answered the call to reward from labor Twenty years ago Mr. Stewart went to the Territory of Hawaii at the instance of British capitalists to represent them in some valuable interests. He stood very high at the New York bar and became a leader at the bar in Hawaii in so far that he was authorized with two others, who left the work to him, to codify the laws of Hawaii. When the editor of the Negro Times was in Hawaii, in 1900, the brother of General Armstrong and many other strong men in Honolulu said that a strong movement had been on foot to have the President appoint Mr. Stewart as Governor of the islands, so commanding was the position he had made for himself at the bar and in politics, but the movement fell through, perhaps because Mr. Stewart did not care for it. The same British interests that induced Mr. Stewart to go to Hawaii induced him to go to Liberia, West Africa, where he made a big place for himself and was advanced to the bench of the Supreme Court. It was impossible for Mr. Stewart to live in any place without taking a leading and commanding position. This was shown to be the case when as a young man in the reconstruction days he became a partner in the celebrated law firm of Elliott, Straker, Dunbar and Stewart at Charleston, S. C., and exercised an influence out of all proportion to his years and experience. After practicing law in London for some time Mr. Stewart went to St. Thomas and soon became one of the leading men of the Virgin Islands. He was a scholarly gentleman a brilliant orator and a devoted worker for the best interests of the Negro people, for whom he made conditions better wherever he labored, and died in harness at sixty-eight years of age, strong for the work in which he always had delight — Negro Times. BISHOP BENJAMIN TUCKER TANNER THE death of Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner at Philadelphia was no surprise to those who have known that he has long been an invalid, but the general regret will be nonetheless been at the passing of one of the great preachers, editors and lishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He distinguished himself in every one of the departments of church work to which he was called, but in none was he more brilliant and effective than as editor of the Christian Record. Bishop Tanner was one of the most tireless workers in the church and made a record of his ministry which will always be of value to the historian and the seekers after historical truth. We need not despair when we can have the life services of such capable and loyal race men as Benjamin Tucker Tanner—Negro Times CORRESPONDENCE PROF. KELLY MILLER ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT IN WASHINGTON AFTER THE LINCOLN-HOWARD GAME --- Dear Mr. Editor I have noted with much concern Prof Kelly Miller's letter which appeared in the Pittsburgh Courier and was reproduced in several other journals describing the peculiar psychosis of the 'cream' of our race as expressed in the revelries of Thanksgiving night in Washington following the Lincoln-Howard game. With him and with all other serious minds of the race I deplore the event. That was indeed a time of crisis, and a time of opportunity too, but the opportunity slipped and the crisis terminated disastrously. The Diver Bill, figuratively speaking, hanging in the balance of death on the very night was hung dead on the scaffold in the Senate following this night of wasted opportunity. Proof Miller asks the question: "Is it not time for the leaders of the race to call attention to this frivolous to a dency?" To this would a grand chorus of sources respond. "True." But it seems to me Mr. Editor that the professor's question ought to be preceded by this one namely, "Is it not time that the leaders of the race WAKE UP and LEAD or else sleep on and let a new crop of leaders have the right of way." Let us fix blame where properly it belongs. It is only thus that truth is served. Is it not a fact Mr. Editor, that the leaders were on this occasion like Ahaba god on Carmel's peak? They were either 'on a Journey' 'anicep' or else mixed in with the crowd held up for consure. They were certainly not on the job. And what are we to expect of the crowd? Please permit if you will, sir, to make two observations and state a conclusion 1. The intelligence of the crowd is usually below the intelligence of the average members of the crowd. I think that all those who have had experience with crowds, who understand crowd psychology, would subscribe to this statement. Now it is quite true I guess, that those held up for censure represented the cream' of the race as the Christian Recorder purse. At any rate a cameraman that dream they were quite a representative crowd. According to Prof Miller, the government clerk's school teacher the professional man, the waiter the cook and the servant folk were there. So much the better then, for our observation—what better could be expected of a heterogeneous group, unharmed unhitched and unbridled. 2. My second observation is that, as in the case of the individual so in the case of the crowd, yes, more so, the "set" or "frame" of the mind is a powerful determinant of the nature of thought or deed that will be sequent to thought or deed that is antecedent. Now, there is nothing to be gained by closing our eyes to the fact that the mind of the crowd was "set" upon just the thing that the crowd did do. That thing had grown from custom to habit. Ithilicity had been the annual climax for the great football classic. To have turned the thought-stream from its habitual course into a channel that would have been more profitable meant that such a channel should have been dug by the engineers of our race driving. In all frankness a 1 in fairness to Professor Kelly Miller, I have to over that for the crowd to have gravitated in a direction contrary to the course actually taken, under the circumstances, would have been to expect too much. And when I say so I am making every allowance for the antitrenching propaganda broadcasted by the various socio-civic organization, of which the N. A. A. C. P. is the accepted leader. It is true that the propaganda has been carried on with relentless vigor and persistency, but BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN was applicable to this situation it was decisively non-specific. Prof Miller quite unintentionally lays heavy hands and sturdy strokes upon the backs of the "leaders" when he declares, "Every dance hall in the capital of the nation, as hired long in advance by the pleasure-loving colored citizens." To validate the truth of that statement is to minimize the leadership of the race. Just what were they doing when these contrary preparations were being made—when these halls were being preempted in advance for purposes of fidelity? Surely they must have been blind leaders. I recall a very significant statement of Jesus of Nazareth when on one occasion he declared that "the children of this generation are wiser than the children of the light." Such a declaration seems quite propos here. Th were wiser in that they were up and doing while the leaders slept. For sleeping they surely must have been when all around them "the pleasure-loving" were making ready to furnish entertainment for the crowd and they were doing nothing to counteract it. Crowds, like individuals, are of the monotony of the "thou shalt not." Positive substitutes for mere prohibitions must be furnished them. I was not in Washington, and I know not what the leaders were doing to slave off this thing, but absence of information to the contrary leads one to suspect that they were doing nothing The lament of Professor Miller is shared by every serious-minded member of the race. But Mr. Editor it is rather belated and its driving force comes to not a few of us as an indictment against the morbund, old-crowd leadership, primarily, and only secondarily if at all, as a censure of the irresponsible, leaderless crowd "Where there is no vision the people perish" is an old saying, but it rings true today. 3 My conclusion is the conclusion shared by many a young man. Here it is. You may take it for what you think it is worth. We need, today, a leadership that stands on the watch-tower, a leadership that is not dreaming dreams but seeing visions, a leadership that is (1) alive, (2) awake and (3) vigilant. Until that type of leadership gets the right of way we may expect the crowd to fiddle 'while the fire burns. A. H. MALONEY MA STD Professor of Psychology at Wilberforce University THE COLOR LINE AT HARVARD To the Editor of The World This morning I have read with interest The World a striking editorial on the Color Line at Harvard. I call it striking because it hits not only the nail but some other heads. I was a student at Phillips Exeter Academy at the time when Lincoln a It is to be regretted that the secretary of the interior Hon A B. Fall, who on taking the office made as one of his first appointments that of Henry O. Flipper, Esq. known to him personally and professionally as an engineer and linguist of acknowledged ability, is to resign this post to take up other work Henry O. Flipper has been for the last forty years trying to get justice from the U. B Government for the bad treatment accorded him while he was lieutenant in the army. He was one among the first young men of the race to pass an examination to enter West Point and like all of his predecessors and successors, he was bedevilled, but finally graduated. The retirement of Mr Fall will probably mean the demotion or a transfer of Mr. Flipper to some other division of the department where he will exercise less authority than he does at present as special assistant to the secretary. I trust neither of son, Robert Tod Lincoln, was fitting there for Harvard. At the same time Richard Greener, the colored student, was skip at Exeter fitting for Harvard, during the Civil War Greener was probably the first colored boy that had entered the school where Daniel Webster had also fitted for college. Young Lincoln and Greener attracted no more attention than any other students. Both went to Harvard and, as at Exeter, Greener at Harvard moved about as any other student, conducting himself with the courtesy of a gentle man, but unobtrusive. It seems strange and anachronistic that Harvard today should slump or "flunk" back seventy years on the question of human rights in the land of Lincoln. Last summer I viewed the status of William Lloyd Garrison on Commonwealth avenue, Boston, and that of Wendell Phillips on Boylston street and I recalled with pleasure that when I was at Harvard I had listened to each of them in Boston, both apostles of freedom Greater men than presidents of colleges have fallen down before the Moloch of the slave power Possibly Whittier's "Ichabod," written after Daniel Webster's speech of March 7, 1850, may have an appropriate place here So lost so fallen the light withdrawn Which once he wore. The glory from his gray hairs gone For evermore Revile him not the Tempter hath Let pitying tears not scorn and wrath Beat his fall Oh dumb he passion's stormy rage When he who might Then pay the reverence of old days To his dead fame Walk backward with averted gaze And hide the shame HARYARD MAN WORLD WONDER OIL CO. FORGING ITS WAY AHEAD The World Wonder Oil Company plans the biggest drilling campaign this year in its history. At a recent meeting of the board of directors plans were outlined to make 1973 the most successful year that the company has had. Plans were outlined for the immediate completion of its well at Mexia Tex., which is now 2,700 feet deep, and to drill two other wells, one in Oklahoma and one in the great oil fields of Smackover, Arkansas. Mr J J Allen, president of the company, together with his loyal coworkers, is determined to prove to the people that Negroes can successfully operate an oil company and make money for its stockholders. Mr. Allen in addressing his board of directors is quoted as saying "Our people as a whole have been led to believe that the oil business is a fake and that it is not a paying business for the small investor, when in reality it is the greatest business in America and the only one whereby the small investor can hope to receive real large returns on his money." He further stated that, "as a rule the oil companies operated by the better class of white men didn't offer their shares to our people and that the majority of white companies which offered their shares to our people were the dislown promoters who never intended to produce any oil and pay dividends to its stockholders." He says that our people own up to millions in valuable oil lands and it is our duty to put our money together and get the oil out of the ground and sell it and distribute the money among our people in dividends. J. J. Allen I. O. Mitchell George W. Hedgepeth V. C. Foudamore and E. A. Whitfield have formed a combination and have pledged themselves to raise the required amount of money through the sale of stock to enable the company to carry out its drilling program. We are very desirous of enlisting the services of other salesmen and sales women throughout the country. We have also decided to publish a monthly paper, to be known as the New Groo World for the purpose of keeping our people informed on the activities of our company and of the business in general. If you are interested, write us. Address World Wonders Oil & (as) World Wonder Building, 1710 East Eighteenth street, Kansas City, Mo. these things will happen but one can never tell which way the cat will hop when a big braided broad minded, square dealing, white public official leaves office and behind him a Negro appointee whom he respects for his ability and rewards with office because of the injustice he has received in the past from the Government which it for some reason refuses to rectify. H O. Flipper is a mining engineer who has done good work in New Mexico. Arizona and for mining interest with which Hon. A B. Fall has been identified. He speaks and writes Spanish like a native and proved useful to Senator Fall in translating Spanish deeds to old mining properties in New Mexico and Arizona, operated by the syndicate of which Mr Fall was a member. It is to be hoped that the tenure of office of this useful and professionally accomplished member of our race will not be affected by the retirement of Secretary Fall from the office of secretary of the interior. DR. RAWLINS' LECTURE ON THE EFFECTS OF NORTHERN CLIMATE ON PEOPLE FROM THE TROPICS Popular Medico Deals in an Interesting Way With a Subject of Special Interest to a Large Number of Colored People in Harlem, Who Came Here From Tropical Isles of the West SOME EFFECTS THAT AFFECT THE HEALTH At the 135th street branch of the New York Public Library on Thursday night, under the auspices of the North Harlem Community Forum, Dr Elliot Rawlins delivered a lecture in anticipation of Health Exposition Week which began on the 22nd inst. There was quite a large and appreciative gathering and the topic proved very interesting. It was entitled "The Physiological Effects of a Northern Climate on Persons Born in the Tropics." Mr Chloe Jemmott presided and the lecturer said in part All that I shall say on this subject has a bearing only upon persons born in the tropics who come to a Northern climate after the age of sixteen years, for before this the cell structures of the various organs of the body have not developed to their full and complete growth, and the colder climate does not have any appreciable effect upon the organs of the body. The blood circulating through the body from finger tips to the tree helps to keep the body warm. The haemoglobin of the blood cells absorb as it were, the oxygen from the air and this during the process of metabolism is burned up and heat of the body results. In those people born in the tropics who have lived there during the first sixteen years of their life the physiological activity of the blood making organs which manufacture the haemoglobin has become used to producing an amount of this material just sufficient for a hot climate and thus when suddenly these same individuals come to a cold climate in which an excessive haemoglobin is necessary to take the large amount of oxygen needed, the sudden nervous impulses needed to do this quite often are not equal to the task, and thus the required heat needed for the body is deficient, and these individuals catch cold because of the cooling of the body. The skin is the greatest heat regulator of the body; through the sweat gland over the surface of the skin water evaporates and chills the body. In the tropics there is an excessive and continuous activity of the sweat glands in order that there will be sufficient radiation of heat through evaporation to reduce the excessive internal heat of the body. The sweat glands necessarily are overactive, when the sweat glands are active the kidneys do not have an much work to do for much poison of the body is removed through the sweat of the skin. When people from the tropics come to a cold climate the sweat glands of the skin do not have to be overactive, for the atmosphere is cold, thus there is a sudden strain placed upon the kidneys, for the individuals, not sweating as much as before, more poisons from the body have to be excreted through the kidneys, thus there is a sudden and new overactivity of the kidneys, quite frequently the kidneys weaken, the burden being new and the kidney cells being used to just a certain amount of work and kidney congestion and retention of body pores quite often result. Within the nose are what are known as the swell bodies, these are erectile tissues which, according to the surrounding atmospheric temperature, swell or contract. In the tropics, where the air is warm or hot, these bodies are continuously contracted; to give plenty of space for a large amount of air to be breathed into the lungs; when one who has lived for a long time in such hot climate comes to a country where the atmosphere is cold, it is imperative to have these "swell bodies" to enlarge. This is necessary to make the nasal passage smaller in order to prevent an excess of cold air getting into the lungs. In a large number of these people these erectile tissues refuse to function, having been used for so long to being in a contracted condition, and thus an excess of cold air finds its way through the widely open passages of the nose into the lungs. In this way colds, bronchitis and lung congestions quite often develop. The toatls are glands on either side of the throat in the region called the pharynx. In hot countries these glands are small and inactive. When one comes from a hot to a cold climate there is a sudden shock to the cells of these glands and they become congested, swollen and inflamed. Thus toatllis and pharyngitis are frequent in those people from the tropics now living in a colder climate. Above each eye and connected with the nose are spaces called the supra orbital spaces. When we breathe part of the air passes from the nose into these spaces through a small opening. People from the tropics coming to a colder climate frequently have this passage stopped up by the cold air congesting the mucous lining of this small opening. These IMPOTANT NOTICE To All Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn. All Divisions and Divisional"Officers are hereby warned against paying money to Executive Officers, Officials or Representatives from the Parent Body on the Field. No Executive Officer, Official or Representative is supposed to receive any money from any Division for dues, taxes or assessments on the field. All such monies should be sent by mail to Headquarters. Any local Officer or Division who loans an Executive Officer or Representative on the field fees and their own risk. Refuse to entertain any Officer, Official or Representative who attempts to borrow money from your Division. BY ORDER UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General tissues are not used to this cold air, and they swell. The result of this is that no air during the act of nosse breathing passes into these supral orbital spaces, and so whatever air is in there before it became closed finally becomes stagnant and produces a terrific headache. In other words, this cold air produces a nasal congestion, because the cells of this delicate membrane have not been used to its irritation. Several questions were asked the medicine, to which he suitably replied. At the conclusion he was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his illuminating discourse. EXORDIUM TO POST-HOLIDAY RESUMPTION OF LECTURES ON CRIMINAL LAW By PROF. WM. H. H. HART, A. M. LL. M. Ladies and gentlemen, I congratulate you upon meeting here in the new year in our first session—having gone through the holidays—to resume the regular hard work which brings us here in preparation for a life of usefulness, of honor and, last but not least, of profit Your presence here indicates that you believe yourself, individually, and yourselves, collectively, to be endowed with the exceptional qualities of human leadership, and that you propose to take your place among that body of men and women in the world who shape its destiny and who promote its progress. Many things are happening, almost in your personal presence, that have a world-wide significance. It is happening in your native country and in your native language, and in deference and honor to the service of your native social and political institutions. It seems to me, without any degrees of self-oxegregation, that you are indeed at this moment in the very forefront of that march of humanity which is to change the world from that which it now is into those things flowing from your labor, your aspirations, and your ideals. I think that it is a great blessing for you to have been born at the time you were, and now at the very crest of your manhood to be entering into the strife for better things for the whole world. But, gentlemen, we cannot shape the world, nor society, nor even our individual selves, according to our own particular and peculiar wish or ambition. We come out of the past, with its force and power, its children begotten of its life, and whether we choose to call ourselves privileged inheritors of that past or its helpless victims does not alter the case—that we cannot escape it. We are ruled and served and limited by the hands of the dead, the same as if they stood in our bower and clamped the chains of their institutions around our necks. Tradition, history, the record of the forces which gave us life inevitably shape the present and determine what our future is to be. (Just prior to the hour of opening, while the class was rapidly gathering. Messas, Henry Penn and Woolsey Hall, members of the class, with seeming amug satisfaction, alluded to their attendance upon the meetings of the American Negro Academy during the holidays just closed.] We have been having in this community, very recently, a widely advertised and exploited "Negro Academy," so called. An interesting thing, I should imagine, that would deserve to bear that name—"Negro Academy," a Negro institution of learning, learning the history of the past, the opportunities of the present, and the duties of the future. But the term "Negro Academy," in the real sense in which it is used among us, is woefully misleading and unless you understand the exact nature and character of this institution operating among us, it is calculated to do you a great deal of harm, because it will fill you with erroneous ideas, and erroneous ideas lead to false actions, which involve individual loss. The truth alone can make you free and the truth alone can put you in a position and a condition to THE NEGRO-WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 make the very utmost of the powers which you have acquired and help you to put them under a course of discipline, which will increase all of your powers—spiritually, mentally, morally and naturally—up to the very limit of the possibilities of your individual character. So the truth is worth more than all else, because it is the indispensable possession by which all else most come to you, or be lost to you. When I stated to you that nature, the resultant of all the forces which stamp vegetable and animal organisms, had predetermined what we are generations before we were born, I had in mind what this same resultant force has done for the Negro. The untold millions, and cones, and ages of time have made him a mere creature of the tropical jungles of Africa, and there he is, and there he will abide forever, changing little, because it is almost impossible for him to change himself, for the reason that he can not change the forces which are elemental and cosmic which have created the environment in which he must live and dis. Looked squarely in the face, whatever happens to the Negro in Africa is of little consequence to you. You have little time to waste on irreversible and inevitable forces that you can not alter or improve. You can only sacrifice yourself to them without results beneficial to them or to you yourself. You are not Negroes! Look at your faces. There isn't a Negro in her courses in story one of your veins. You are slowly being changed from a Negro to a European, an Aryan, a trajanian—that is what you are. And nature is doing it for you. She is not asking you to do it. She is fading you out with this change of your blood through untold generations, in both the material and the paternal sales. Its mixture has begotten a friction that is creating within you a physical possibility which no man can see the limit of, and it is not the possibilities of an African Negro. He has little. It is the possibility of the civilization of the West, under the sons of the forest, whom you are, and that all there is to it. The language you speak, the ideals you cherish, the aspirations you entertain, your hopes, your fears, your destiny are all Caucasian.

What you eat, what you drink, what you wear, as well as what you hope and what you think and what you fear is Caucasian, created for Caucasians. You comb your hair with a comb and not with a card, because you have got hair and not wool, and all this talk about being a Negro, and Negro brotherhood, and a Negro civilization of Africa is poppycock; and ought not to deceive sensible men able to pass the entrance examination for the law department of Howard University.

THE PASSING SHOW BY JOHN EDWARD BRUCE The late Robert Purse of Preston phila used to tell us that in the story of his expedition the mighty duo "I was about to marry, but in from Philadephia, one of my aunties when Mr. Philadephia first met me, creat learning how to collect him, was to be a teacher, and was going into the truth of things, and in their ship and I was going from New York in Philadephia, treated with a little more. And I had been entirely with and just a little more. And I arrived at Portsmouth, and the packet which was being me back to America, whom should I not but the very Mr. who had objected to my company from Philadephia, but as he did not know me and color was not a matter to be merely studied at the end of the voyage, no objects were started. The company) on board was of the very elite of the American white aristocracy a brother of Governor Hayne with Carolina, for one, b) whom Iolitely received and to whom the voyage for the furtherance Joke I endowed and with success, to render myself agreeable. I daily walked arm in arm with some of the gentlemen on deck, and was upbraided by fathers and mothers if I neglected to dance with their daughters' "On arriving at Bandyhook the captain gave a special entertainment when after other toasts the health of Mr. Purvis was proposed and was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm all standing. The mother of one of the young ladies, it is true, was a little inquisitive. "Were you born in Philadelphia, Mr. Purvis?" she asked. "No madame," I replied. "I was born far South." "I thought as much," she rejoined, "for that climate will injure the most delicate complexion." Robert Purvis was one of the early pioneers in the anti-slavery movement in Pennsylvania. He could easily have passed for an East Indian, but he preferred to identify himself with the Negro race. He was a gentleman of the culture and the possessor of an will "which from other" on account had "climatic conditions" in the far rain. But climatic conditions still are able assistants in the white gown of that section. The first time I ever heard Tostin "will-bye" I was transported into the seventh heaven. I heard it when I was in Boston in 1881, where I heard the song sung by the famous and in comparable Nellie Brown Mitchell, one of the sweetest and most finished of our race vocalists at that period. Among the first of her numbers was that fine old Scotch melody. "Within a Milfoe of Edinboro Town," then followed with fine expression and phrasing "The Lars Rose of Summer." This thrilled the company. Mr. Douglass, who was very fond of these old Scotch songs and ballads and who played many of them on the violin at his home, was highly pleased with Madame Mitchell's interpretation and rendering of them, and applauded her generously, as did others. Then she sang as only she could sing it Toast's "Good-bye." Her LIBERTY HALL, 120 W. 138TH ST.

The disclosures made in the训 mation row in progress in Hastrop against the lieutenant of the ku Klux klan there have revealed some dam aging evidence against them and the organization and a condition in local government which does not not well for the peace and security of people in that community. It does not look well in print nor sound well in the ear to see and hear that any com- munity of people in this county is being terrorized and intimidated by another element of the body supra- tate, subject to unlawful invasion of their homes and of their rights, denied freedom of action and utterance and killed if they resist these agents of the invisible government. These are atter- toward revolution and anarchy, and if the federal government does not lay its hands on these usurpers of the power of established government, they will in time and in a large measure lay hands on the federal government by the methods of the ku Klux Klan. I believe the investigation now in progress in Louisiana will convince the federal government when it shall have been completed that some drastic action on its part is most necessary to safeguard the rights and protect the lives and property of citizens who have been the victims of the lawless methods and practices of these hooded and gowned bandit, who have for years been whipping, terrorizing, tarring and feathering and brutally murdering the victims of their insensate wrath. The danger to the republic will not have passed until the Ku klux Klan is put out of business, and it will not be out of business until the federal government takes the bit in its own teeth. A distinguished company of some of the most notable men of the race were guetac at the famous boarding house of Elizabeth Cooley, 62 Phillips street who, according to the key to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was the original "Liza" of the novel Mr. Frederick Douglass, Col. Jim Lewis of New Orleans, the dressy J. Henri Butch with his velvet vest and heavy gold watch chain; Bob Smalls of Beaufort, S. C., hero of the planner, and a number of ladies and gentlemen of Boston, friends of the hostess and her daughter, Arlanna Sparrow, herself a sweet singer, were assembled in the spacious parlor after dinner, awaiting the arrival of Captain and Mrs. Mitchell. The Louisiana incident may possibly furnish the federal government its opportunity to determine once for all the question as to who is boss—the Ku Klux Klan or itself—which has prior claim to the right to governing and controlling in all those matters which the Ku Klux Klan has reserved to its self. The sooner we know who is boss in these United States, the more comfortable the nervous body of the citizenship will feel. We still believe however, that Uncle Sam is boss and that shortly he will convince the Ku Klux Klan of the fact that there isn't room enough here for two governments—The Negro Times.

Calling for Negroes to join in the away. W. ROBINSON AN APPEAL TO REASON By HUBERT J. COX (Specially written for The Negro World and U. N. I. A.) That many readers of this article will become peeved is natural. That Negroes at home and abroad have failed in performing their many duties who do not like to hear. Some of us are conscious that we have been doing our best in the past and intend to do better as time goes on. We want our friends not to lose their patience. It is the other fellow that we mean—and most of us know who the other fellow is. Then what is the use of repeating these requests? Tell us something new. Well, the growth of African circles and Negro determination is not increasing fast enough to balance the larger responsibilities and leave a margin for still greater tasks that must be met by headquarters the burden is shifted and we complain because it appeals that progress is too slow. Here are some of the facts: Traditions customs images may last for ages, their usefulness becomes almost an art of faith. To challenge them seems an impulse to test them worth a senseless procedure, to reject or suggest a change in their responsible radicalism. What progress has been made in this modern world of affairs in its rapid changes must of necessity be radical, bold and hopeful. However, to proceed with confidence towards the goal in view we must recall or be directed to notice our shortcomings. Every individual Negro cannot be reached. We cannot hope to air our racial consciousness by personal contact with members of the executive committee. There are too many of us to make such a venture a success. We must have a medium through which earnest talk can be expressed. The Negro World is for that purpose. In its columns happenings that affect us directly and indirectly are covered. In spite of this there is lack of enthusiasm and contagious self interest. What is our basic trouble? Without a shadow of doubt it is not lack of intelligence or of knowledge. Many of us have caught the vision of Mice redeemed and have concentrated on Negro questions so that we know fairly well all about them—the wrongs that need resistance—the good that we can do—the glorious future in the distance. On examination we can pass creditably. The trouble is that between the knowledge we have and the action that is to follow a paralysis set in and we do nothing. Every one of us will be mad if told that we are lazy or crazy discouraged. We must develop the strength or sustained effort and the capacity for self-inspiration and self-direction. Appeal after appeal goes forth, yet inspiration and co-operation is wanting because of party strife, animosity, jealousy, social barrier, insular stupidity continental blindness and international mistrust, lack of understanding and the feeling, "I can't find the time" or "What's the use?" The time has come when the Negro that knows wherever he may be or may go must make it his or her duty and business to stir up interest awakening sleeping brothers and sisters everywhere to the things that concern them and their relative position in the matter. The Negro World carries the dominant idea that something is wrong, that it must be corrected. This clean-cut policy and strong front assures each of us that any are of the faith, spreading the truth and impelling us on with energy; to do for ourselves and to get others to begin action right here and now. Some of the things to be done are Pass your copy of The Negro World to your friends or acquaintance; bring up for conversation some point in the news reported, express your ideas and feelings according to the effect it had on you; challenge friend and foe to come out in the open in this search after truth. Spread your African thoughts and Negro beliefs, hopes and ambitions; inform and convince all those with whom you come in contact that you are in earnest—tell them their own progress and that Weekly Sermon of their kinsmen is hampered because of their unbelief and indifference. Make your convictions and ideals the cause of unrest and the subject for controversy. This will bring new souls into line and new strength will come to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In this creation of more responsible Negro men and women who will hold high the cause of Africa, as well as asserting their place in the new order of things, know yourself a missionary and will crusader determined unconquerable in the right counsels of the cause you represent. Learn a fact. Date a date. Will to do the will. An abiding faith will sustain you from the unknown depths of your greater self. What do you can do, begins. More than half is then accomplished. The way has been shown you, don't ask for spokesmen of experts from the executive body--cover within yourself and within every group of men and women that assemble under the banner of the Black and Green new apostles of freedom. the importance of the oppressed should be the one favorite item in your life for every opportunity within your reach is an and in any personal development and means to render greater service to the cause and the regaining of our historic home. Search and ask development argument and battery upon battery of overwhelming evidence that your position in this case is just once you have entered the fate leave with it have perished on your hearts or stay within the once grave, but now here dead. This is redemption on a grand scale, for those who have not nothing in Africa, for those in whom Africa is losing, for those who acknowledge their origin, for all anyone where and everywhere who belong within the fold whether the affirm or deny it, let them at least do their duty. The loyalty of the faithful is in time with divinity, the courage of the workers in sublime in purpose the cause is mighty and powerful in its scope. Among the many aims and cross-de- cernes that come into the life of each of us let us discover one aim and one desire. Build a purposeful life and unsurviving character to say and to do, stand by what you say and do what you know to be correct Every one has read, or should have read, what we have been saying these many years. Get out of the spirit of self-satisfaction in which you have been resting, decide not to be polite if it is at the expense of the truth that you know. Find out just what is your own objection or that of your friend to the new spirit of our own institutions, the politics on which differences are based, impracticability of our plans, what is Utopian in these plans and the program, where is the keen wedge of difference that holds us aloof, unwilling to follow a common leadership way, there cannot be a reconciliation to the benefit of all concerned. In short let us come to the end of court and humbug, rise above our whims and fantasies, with heart heart and hand in an unbroken chain assail the heights and greet the coming day with one accord. To your self and those coming after you leave a heritage—try an appeal to your own reason. HUBERT J. COX Subject 'Be sure your sins will find you out' Text Proof 14 34 'Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin's a reproach to any people' One of the most impressive statements in the Bible 'Be sure your sins will find you out.' The more experience we have the better we realize the truth of this statement. Yet there are many of us sallying forth essaying to do and doing as if there would follow no disclosure of our present-day actions. These disclosures will come in our intellectual, physical or spiritual being. They will reveal to us and the universe our every mode of living, however hidden it may have been from the eyes of men. It is apparent, therefore that every man and woman should live not unto himself, but rather for the unfolding of the Divine that is within him thus disclosing in the end that which will make him a blessing to humanity, himself and God. As a whole we are willing to accept the truth that sin is effective in the life of an individual, but quite unwilling to admit that it is as effective in the life of a nation. In spite of our discontinuations the fact remains—nationality and fall through their sins. This is to be verified in the annals of decaying nations. A majority of those who lived during the time that Rome was at its zenith failed to see or even imagine that Rome with all its pomp and glory would soon be overrun by the Goths and Vandals, that the fall of Rome would be imperative because of the sins found in the lives of its citizens, that the sins of luxury, immorality and tyranny would have to be disclosed, that we must be paid for the unrighteousness. In modern times the history of Russia furnishes us a concrete example. The long years of unjust treatment with which the Czars ruled Russia prepared the way for the violent revolution which overthrew that unjust power. The history of individuals and nations is being repeated each day. It is imperative, therefore, for us to pause and study the situation, also our disclosures will be to our detriment. Let us name two national signs: The nation that provides for the education of part of its people and neglects the other part is doomed. The nation that metes out justice to a part of its cit- RING OUT THE OLD! RING IN THE NEW! Ring out the old, ring in the new.

I'd like to know how you'd feel If you really knew How I love you J R RALPH CASIMIR Sermon Irony and to the rest stands dumb in the presence of justice, crying to be heard, in sealing its doom. God give us an awakened conscience of the nation. God make us sensible of the great truths contained in the text. God help us to do right in order that the oncoming storm may be averted. For it is true that the injustices, wrongs and depressions of a people cannot go unheard, and righteousness exalteth, while sin brings a reproach. There must be less injustice in business and industry. When we find men and women inclined to oppress the poor because they are in a position to do so, we may take the measure of their greatness and know how near they are to dethronement. The business world has no greater right to demand unjust returns than the thug who waylays his victim and robs him of all he no easier. Capital has no greater license to exact from labor the undue proportion of work than the unfaithful steward who fleeces his master on the quiet. That nation is presaging a fall when its business and industrial life is no longer reflecting equity, truth and honesty. - There cannot be a neglect of religion in the life of an individual or nation and that individual or nation hope to escape the penalty of the text. A nation is but an aggregation of many people whose alms and objects are one. The many peoples are but the reflex of the homes from which they come. And the ideas sown in the hearts of men around the fireside hearths are sent forth into the world and become the moulding opinions of nations. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that we have the right ideals in the women or that race, people or nation is doomed already whose home life is questionable. My heart goes out for humanity, and my eyes have clearer insight on the wrongs that must be righted ere we shall go forth proclaiming victory. The battles must be fought in the light of truth, and those of us who understand the principles of right living must be ever vigilant in pursuing a policy which will make for us a nation whose God is the Lord, whose standard is the Christ. Go forth, then, bearing in mind that each sin is disclosed to our disadvantage here, not in some unknown world. It is here we are found out. It is here men come to know us after years of living.

Art Novelty Company 2103 SEVENTH AVENUE, NEW YORK CITY THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISION HON. MARCUS GARVEY, PRESIDENT- GENERAL OF THE U. N. I. A. STIRS PHILADELPHIA DIVISION Great Ovation—Large Audience Fills Salem Baptist Church There is no doubt but that the recent visit of the President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Hon Marcus Garvey, to the Philadelphia Division on Sunday, January 7, was the means of giving new and greater inspiration to the many members of that great division in the City of Brotherly Love SANTIAGO NEWS By H. STONEWALL JACKSON Following up our successes our mass meeting on Sunday, January 7, was a banner one. Not only is the audience being enlarged, but the discourse from various speakers are most enlightening. We are gradually winning back the hearts of our It was the signal for a general turnout of the members and friends of the division, and when the closing hour came the crowd was loath to leave that sacred ordeal of liberty. The enthusiasm displayed was wonderful, and gives a clear idea of the power of the U. N. I. A and its fearless founder to stir the souls of men to lofty heights. That zealous and indefatigable worker, Dr. Lionel Francis, president of the Philadelphia Division, was in charge of the evening's program, and was more than pleased with the response of the members of the division on the way things went through. Among those on the platform beside His Excellency the Hon Marcus Garvey were Vice-President Simpson, the Lady President, Mrs Benjamin of Chapter 47, and the Benjamin children, who gave aquiline patriotic reactivations, Mr R T Brown, first vice-president of the Sibirques, Costa Rica, Division, Chaplain Spencer and Dr Singh, who is an old friend of the division here. The church was filled to the uttermost long before the appearance of the President-General, and when he did arrive the gathering rose and welcomed him with a mighty ovation, which was heartfelt and eohod far away. After the usual opening preliminaries there were a few remarks by the President, Dr Francis, the Lady President and Chaplain Spencer, which were well received, and during the course of the President's address there was a large collection taken in, which showed that the members and friends had come prepared for any emergency. Owing to the fact that the President-general had to catch the train for New York City, where he was schedled to speak in Liberty Hall, several of the address, he had to be left so as to give him an opportunity to deliver his message and his charge to the members of the division. He was in fine form and rose to the heights of the occasion as he drew pictures of the association and the race during the year 1923 and the years to come urging them to stand firm and carry on the light for the uphill, the race and the redemption of the fatherland, which can be realised provided we are earnest and conscientious and determined in our efforts for their attainment. His words went, the hearts of his hearers and atack a response chord. At times the count of emotion welled up in their hearts and broke the weighty silence which is called while they listened to his inspired words. When at the close of his address he wished them great prosper and activity during the new year just opened and dray brief word pictures of some of the activities of the association during the year, a deep hush fell on the assembly and determination could be seen written on the ducky faces of the audience. He waited them good-live and hurried off with his secretary. Miss Edith "moved to catch the train for New York. Meanwhile after a few anouncements, the meeting came to a close with the singing of Onward Christian Soldier," and the pronouncement of the Benediction by the chaplain CAPE TOWN. SOUTH AFRICA. CLAREMONT DIVISION Kindly allow me space in your valuable paper for the following. We, the members and officers of Claremont Division, Cape Town, and Goodwood Division, are sorry to announce the death of one of our deeply beloved sisters, Mrs Amule Herbert who died in Claremont Cape. Her death brought some favor on the division of us all. She was one who possessed the triple Negro spirit in her toward the U N I A, but we regret to say that at the time of her death the parent body was not responsible, and no claim could be made for her for which we are not responsible. This sister was the wife of the president of the Claremont Division, Mr J Herbert, who deeply mourns the sudden loss of his beloved wife CLAREMONT DIVISION "I have found them all you recommend, and more," says Mrs. M. Dranigan. "Bring them again, Sir," says Mr. G. G. "I am glad you have had a time to read." "And 25c (in stamps) for a liberal trial package containing 20 weeks'time and all details complete.

D, 832 West 6th St., Cincinnati, Ohio." SANTIAGO NEWS Following up our successes our mass meeting on Sunday, January 7, was a banner one. Not only is the audience being enlarged, but the discourse from various speakers are most enlivening. We are gradually winning back the hearts of our old members, who had more or less withdrawn from our division. Space will not allow me to reiterate special on each speakers' remarks, but I must say the exhortations for true "Garveyism" are certainly moving in the hearts of our people, yet there are lots of Negroes who have not yet thrown in their line with us. For what reason we cannot yet discover, but we hope the time is not far off when each and every Negro will compulsory find the cause of being in true spirit with the U N L A., and we earnestly hope that 1928 will not only bring us new members, but will bring us the assurance of God's richest blessings on our labor for the earliest period of the ceasing of the long-expected anxiety of the redemption of our motherland Africa and a free Negro race throughout the world. The time has come when our prayers to Almighty God must not cease so that His blessings may hold u, the humble hand of our noble leader to fight and win the freedom for which he is now fighting for the Negro race. Our children of Santiago are active, and the training of "Negroism" while young is certainly fitting them for their right place in future years. We have a sect of Negroes who are still saying they are not Africans, because they were not born in Africa. I here take the opportunity of saying to those Negroes: "Wo betide you when the final test shall come." Have those Negroes any home in the West Indies? Is there any difficulty in realising the fact that our grandparents were brought out from Africa as slaves to these then unknown shores? Then how can you not see that wherever you descended from must be your home? Are you still in darkness as to your own rights? May I entreat you to reconsider your positions, think more earnestly and seriously of this U. N. I. A, read all you can about it, especially our "Weekly Negro World," and see what other Negroes are doing? The cause is just, and by God's help we shall win though it may not be today tomorrow, nor next month, but let us work together more than we did last year with one aim, one God, one destiny. Our aim is to redeem Africa and to serve one God, from whom hope is sent. Our destiny is to rule our motherland as heretofore, but let us remember Longfellow, who tells us—"Let us then be up and doing." With a hope for future Our Mass Meeting on New Year's Eve Sunday, New Year's Eve we had an extra crowded hall when the aims and objects of the U N L A and A C L were keenly explained by various speakers, including officers of the Legions. Regret to state that we cannot find royal ladies in numbers to spell our Black Crop Auxiliary roll as we. We truly hope to see all the old members enrolling again. It takes time for everything. Our old organizer, Mr Goo Rawlina, is quite active again. We trust he will connoise in the same way, as most of our people are very easy to get discouraged. Our president and executive secretary are doing their level best to unpliff the division. Our gailman ex-Capt C. E. Arnold is certainly what we were long expecting of him. He is aspiring for "Major." We truly hope that when the time comes our Hon Minister of Legions will see his way to commission the officer. As suggested, special mention must be made of Captain Brown, Lt. Lieut W A Rose and 2nd Lieut N A Metzerty. Regret very much our Legion cannot remain ready, as they have to migrate in search of daily bread. Our prayer for the new year is to bless our division and prosper our leader, Marcus Garvey, that our colors may never die."

DIVISION NO. 164, JOSE ANTONIA SACO NO. .8, GUANTANAMO, CUBA On January 14 a general mass meeting was held as usual, the president; F. E. Greenidge, in the chair. The second vice-president, F. Van Roman acted as chaplain. After the spiritual part of the meeting was over, the president made a few remarks. He also had the great pleasure of handing to the treasurer, Mr. E. Hillhouse, a beautiful present to be given to his daughter, Miss Iva, which was presented to her by Mr. E. H. Laurayne for a solo which she had rendered on New Year's Night. The treasurer returned many thanks on behalf of his daughter. A written address sent by M. C. H. Laurayne was then read, his subject being "Be Strong an of Good Courage." The address was very interesting and edifying and was well appreciated by all. The next was an address by Brother R A. Bachelor, who is always giving us facts, and a song was then rendered by Miss Angelina McCleennan. At this stage the evening was far spent and the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the national anthem EDWARD 4 HILL. Associate Secretary F C GREENIDGE. President THE U. N.: I. A. IN KANSAS CITY, MO. Kansas City Division No. 318 mgt on January 14, with the following officers presiding Winston Holmes, president, S. M Phillips, vice-president, Robert Johnson, second vice-president; John E Young, treasurer, Miss Dainy Looney, lady president, Mrs. Fannie Sherman, chaplain The meeting was opened by singing the Universal anthem, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer and the reading of the Screamable Vice-President H M Phillips informed the audience of the death of Dr. Eason, after which the speakers were introduced. Rev. Jenkins began the speechmaking, and he said that the U. N. I. A was a better organization than any other in existence attempting to serve the Negroes. As good things never fail, he predicted that the association would prevail because people in all walks of life were talking about it, although much of what is said never comes to the attention of the members. Mr and Mrs. Charles Porter of 1746 Lyndia street were the latest to join. Vice-President Phillips was in favor of forming a dramatic club to rehearse a play to be given at Easter. He said his reason for offering this suggestion was to give plenty of time to histrionic aspirants to put on something really worth while and thereby prove that the U N. I. A. in Kansas City aims at worthy achievement. Mr. Robert Johnson said he looked upon the association as a huge ship which, if we keep putting forth our best endeavors, would carry us safely to the shores of independence under the leadership of Marcus Garvey. It was decided to advertise our meeting place in the Negro papers here. Mr Johnson was made chairman of the committee and Rev. Jenkins and Mr. J. Christian were selected to assist the chairman in announcing advertising rates and report back to the body. Lady President Maude Daisy Looney suggested that a literary class be formed to promote discussion of current events and the study of Negro history in order to be able to discuss intelligently in matters concerning our race with anyone at any time. The suggestion was acted upon favorably and Miss Looney made chairman of the Literary Committee. Every member, including the officers immediately joined, and one night each week will be given over to the discussion of topics of vital interest to the Negro race. President Holmes invited the class to meet in his store, where the first meeting was held on Thursday, January 18 at 8 p.m. The store is located at 1436 East Eleventh street Including the $ 55 brought forward from last month and $ 10.05 received at the January meeting, there is a balance on hand of $ 15.50.

L., CAPETOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, UNVEILS ITS CHARTER The Claremont Division held a fairly enjoyable social in the Claremont town hall on October 20, 1832, in connection with the unveiling of its charter (No 600). The hall was tastefully decorated with the colors of the association. The hall was fairly seated. Among those present on the platform were the following: Measr. Wattington, P. Daniels, Toban F. Wiener and Mise Jacoba, executive members of the Capetown Division, J Herbert, president H. Esau, vice-president, Honorary Advisory Board, John J Mullins, secretary, A. Lecage, assistant secretary; J Phillips, treasurer; E. Ubatu, chaplain, Mrs. R. Coteyt, lady president; H L Esau, lady vice-president, L. Mbonabati, lady secretary, all officers of the Claremont Division Mr Wattington, who officially as master of ceremonies, opened the proceedings b saying how glad and proud he feels tonight to have the honor of being on the platform and to take part in the unveiling of the above charter. Never has there been such a wonderful time for black race to come together and unveil a charter which is so sacred and dear to us. We must thank God for giving us such a wonderful leader in the person of the ten Marus Garvey to lead his people to victory and freedom, and now it is up to you also to do your share by becoming members of this association and help our leader in the hard fight for freedom. He asked the officers and audience to rise while the opening ode was being sung, accompanied by the Rustenburg native brass band, which was also in attendance. This being done, the preamble was read The secretary, Mr J Mullins was then asked to proceed with the program, and announced the first item, a selection by the Rustenburg native brass band, followed by a piano overture by Mr. James Foster, entitled "My Queen Waltz." Following was a song by Miss S. Mullins, who sang "Just Dreaming of You," the next called upon was Mrs. M. Wattington, who sang "Love Senus a Little Gift of Roses," and Miss Phillips recited "Children of Africa." Following Miss Philips was a song by Mr. P. Malgarte, and an address by Mr. H. L. Esau, vice-president of the Claremont Division, who made a very interesting speech In taking his seat. The band rendered a selection, followed by a song by Mr. Jacobs. Mr. Pedro was next called upon and he played and sang. Mr James Foster followed with a song with his own accompaniment. Being so small and young he was applauded and cheered for an encore. The proceedings for unveiling the charter then took place Mrs. R. Cotey, lady president, took her position on the left side of the charter, with Mrs. Essau, vice-president, on the right side, and led the proceedings by taking her theme from the Book of Genesis, 162, finishing up where God said "Let there be light, and there was light" She uncovered the charter and took her seat. Mrs. H. Essau then proceeded to speak (in Dutch) upon the charter just unveiled, saying what a most precious and valuable thing it is to the black race; in concluding the secretary stepped forward and took the charter, which was framed, from the table and read the inscription to the audience, which responded with loud clapping of the hands and thumping of the feet. The band was then called upon for a selection Refreshments were served, including tea, drinks, fruits, etc. The officers looked magnificent, with the band members around the table enjoying themselves with all that there was to digest. After everybody was well treated the program was proceeded with Mrs. Mbonombi being called upon to sing. Following her was Master James Poster, who also rendered a song. Mr. Herbert was then called upon to address the audience and he made a very bold address. A dust was then rendered by Mr. Pedro and Mrs. Mbonombi, which was loudly applauded. The next item was a plan-forte solo by Mr. James Poster, who being a young boy still, performed splendidly and was loudly applauded. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL AND BOOKER WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL AND BOOKER WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THE STUDENTS' CENTER The next item was a song by Miss B. Mullina, followed by a song by Miss Wartington. Mr H. Essa vice-president of the division, was then called upon to address the audience in Dutch. He referred to the wonderful, development of the association and our leader, Marcus Garvey, was loudly applauded at his conclusion. The next item announced was a song by Mr P. Galarte, following him was a song by Miss Jacobs, and Master James Foster, who also sang. Mr J. Herbert president of the division, was then called upon to address the audience and delivered a very interesting speech and was loudly applauded at the conclusion. The band was then called upon for a selection. At the conclusion the secretary announced that the proceedings for meeting the charter will now take place and impressed upon the audience the necessity of keeping as quiet as possible while they were going through the ceremony. The lady president took her place on the right side of the charter, which was standing on the table covered with the flag of the Red Black and Green. Mrs H. Easu, lady vice-president took her position on the left side; standing next to her was Mr Wellington, master of ceremonies. The president took his position next to the lady president and the secretary was next to him. The other officers took up their positions around the charter. Mrs Coyett started with her opening remarks, taken from first Book of Genesis, then took the flag off the charter. The president then thanked the band, officers and members for helping to make us so all a success. The band played to the Unionian National Anthem, bringing our most enjoyable evening to a close at 11:30 o'clock. THE SAN MANUEL, CUBA, DIVISION, STAGES INTERESTING CONCERT On Sunday, December 31 last, a concert was staged at the above division through the never-failing energy of the treasurer W. B. Robinson. The church was kindly loaned for the occasion. The president Mr. Thomas B. Norman, being ill and the first vice-president Mr A. W. Watkes, being unavoidable, absent Mr I. Bennett was asked to take the chair. The gathering was rather poor. Nevertheless, those who took part did not fail to acquit themselves in a praiseworthy manner. The minister, Roy L. E. Ewart, officiated at the organ. Special mention must be made of Master Lewis Ewart, a lad of about twelve summers who thrilled the audience with his address on Men with Backbone. Enthusiasm ran wild when he described our great leader, the ten Murray Garvey, as a man not having a backbone alone, but that he is a man with a large and strong backbone. "You may try as you please," said he, "you will never succeed in breaking or twist! Mr. Garvey's backbone." One cannot fall to see that this little hero has the spirit of Garveyism. It would be well if many of the officers and members in all the divisions, especially the San Miguel Division, would take to heart and examine themselves and see whether they are men with backbones in this great drive for liberty and the redemption of Africa. My prayer for my little friend is that he may never live to be a traitor to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The last address was by the organizer of the concert, who, being filled with righteous indignation at the disinterestedness of many of the officers, members and non-members, began by reading a composition of his own entitled "New Year" (the same is printed in this paper), and thundered in his usual strong manner that it's enough to break one's heart." Among other things, he said the Universal Negro Improvement Association will never die. "Men can keep back this movement a little, but Africa must be redeemed, unless we take God for it, and we know He is no liar. Therefore as we know that He is no liar, and that He words will stand for aye, let us appreciate this movement as the Negroes' only hope—yea, only salvation." He pointed to those who call themselves officers and members (especially in San Manuel) of this glorious association, who will not work in a whole-hearted and sealous manner. He said that only the two spies out of the twelve who were sent by Moses to visit Canaan inherited possessions in Canaan, for they were true-hearted men and brought good reports. So also those who will not take an interest in the Universal Negro Improvement Association may never live to get a foothold in Africa. After his address the chairman closed by singing the Ethiopian anthem. The program was as follows: 1. Opening ode. 2. Chairman's address.

SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 54-56 Oeste, Calle 135, Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor Son los Marroquies, Algerios y Senegaleses Negros? Francia y Dos Antropólogos Americanos Dicen que No, Por Conveniencia—Toda la Bondad y Crédito Son Negudos a Nuestra Raza, Cuando Estos Se Hacen Visibles—Una Vez Negros, Siempre Negros, Si Hemos de Ser Negros Hace algunos dias el New York World, periodico de esta ciudad, hizo una manifestación, referente a que Francia había dicho que los ejércitos marroquies que ella usa actualmente en la invasión de Alemania, no serán calificados como Negros, porque no pertenecen a dicha raza. El mismo periodico, en su edición del 15 de enero, publica otra manifestación de los Doctores Clark Wissler v Frank Boaz, este último profesor de antropología de la Universidad de Columbia. Estos señores confirman las manifestaciones de Francia, de que los marroquies y los argentos no son Negros. El modo como Francia y estos señores hayan llegado a esta conclusión es difícil de entender: sin embargo, sentimos que es simplemente el viejo método de privar al Negro de algo que tienda a reconocerle como una utilidad en alguna ocupación o actividad. Es costumbre de estos antropólogos, toda vez que algún elemento de nuestra raza, ya sea este marroquí, algerio, senegales ó lo que fuere, realiza algo importante, deja de ser Negro. Este modo de pensar de esos señores nos sugiere la siguiente pregunta: ¿Quién, v qué es un Negro? La respuesta, según ellos, es: Un Negro es una persona de piel oscura que nada ha realizado y a quien los demas no estan obligados por ningun servicio útil. Si Francia no necesitara al presente de los ejércitos marroquies y argerios para aumentar su ocupación en Alemania ó salvar su nación del exterminio, ellos serían Negros, naturalmente; pero ya que han rendido servicios de gran estimación para Francia', dejan de ser miembros de las raza Negra y pueden ser clasificados como tipos mas elevados, segun las manifestaciones de los dos profesores antes mencionados. Toda esto corrobora la política de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, la cual una y otra vez ha manifestado que el prejuicio existente en contra del Negro no es simplemente por su color, sino principalmente por su condición. Si los Negros del universo rindieran independientemente servicios útiles a su propia raza, los cuales llamaran la atención de las demas, todos los problemas de razas serian destruidos a pedazos v el Negro, como cualquier otro ser, podría ser respetado v admirado. Ya quicran estos profesores ó Francia hacer cualquier otra cosa de los marroquies, de los argerios ó de los senegaleses, estamos satisfechos de que sus propagandas han hecho que estos pueblos comprendan que sus destinos estan ligados con el de todos los demas pueblos Negros del universo y va que los cientos de millones de estos ambicionan una unión común, por medio de un esfuerzo universal cooperativo, no dudamos que los marroquies y argerios se haran cargo de lo situación en Francia y en Alemania, en lo que respecta a los intereses generales de nuestra raza. No han de vanagloriarnos las flores de los antropólogos v estadistas quienes, por el hecho de que elementos de nuestra raza obtengan éxito aqui, allá o mas allá, manifiestan que estos no pertenecen por mas tiempo a nuestra raza. Si éramos Negros cuando nos hallabamos bajo el talón de la opresión, hemos de ser Negros cuando nos veamos libres de tal arbitrariedad. Los marroquies y argerios tienen al presente una esplendida oportunidad para demostrar en Europa el verdadero valor del Negro. No ha de sorprendernos el que cualquier dia en esta época de evolución universal veamos al Africa colonizando a Europa, del mismo modo que ésta ha venido colonizando el resto del mundo por centenares de años. Nos abriga la esperanza de que los ejércitos africanos de ocupación en Alemania realizen que es su deber el adherirse a la causa de los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del universo y todo cuanto éstos hagan sea bajo tal punto de vista. Este nuevo año abre sus puertas con brillantes oportunidades para nuestra raza y no hemos de pasar por unadvertidas las ventajas de estas. De acuerdo con los últimos acontecimientos, llegamos a la conclusión de que la herida que sufrió Europa en la ultima conflagración universal ha sido pobremente atendida y en cualquier momento la vieja inflamación de intrigas la abrirá de nuevo, cuyy resultado será una herida política mayor a la anteriormente experimentada. Cualquier disturbo político en Europa ha de presentar a los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del universo la oportunidad de avanzar en su causa por emancipación y confiamos que los ejercitos del Senegal, Marruecos y Argeria no hayan de olvidar que el deber principal del Negro es dar el primer toque de llamada para la redención de Africa, cuando llegue el momento oportuno. Estamos ya cansados de ser estirados y encogidos aquí, allá y más allá para complacer el modo de pensar de antropólogos y estadistas. Estos nos llaman Negros 6 cualquier otra cosa cuando les conviene. Si éramos Negros ayer, lo seremos hoy y estaremos mas satisfechos aun de serlo en el mafiana. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 El General Crowder Ministro Americano en Cuba La nueva del nombramiento del general Enoch H. Crowder, exrepresentante personal del del presidente Harding en Cuba, para ministro plenipotenciaria de los Estados Unidos en la república, será bien acogida por cuantos han conocido el desenvolvimiento de la crisis económica. El general Crowder, en conjunto, parece haber realizado una gestion acertada, dentro del cuadro que le marca la misión poco franca del presidente de Washington, en el momento algido de la perturbación cubana. De indole msolita ya que los Estados Unidos mantienen en la Habana un ministro plenipotencario debidamente acreditado el cargo del general Crowder le forzó a ejercer una autoridad extraoical, pero amplísima, en la solución de la crisis. Que esta ha pasado ya del periodo difícil y se encamina a una solución cs indudable. La situación del país se encauza hacia la normalidad. Es fácil ya preveer dentro de pocos años una nueva y sólida prosperidad para Cuba que tanto la merece por todos conceptos. Cabe, sin duda gran parte del honor de la evitación de una catastrofe que parecia innuente, al envado personal de Mr. Harding. Asi lo reconecen cubanos de todos los partidos. Pero si su actuación ha sido eficaz, y por ello debe felicitarse, no deja de ser conveniente, ahora su status oficial en Cuba va a regularizarse, anotar que, implicitamente, su designación como ministro plenipotenciario, reconoce que, hasta ahora, ha estado actuando en una posición irregular y fuera de toda base normal. Ya lo habia demostrado con el encuencia diplomatica, la retirada discreta del ministro titular americano, Mr. Long, a poco de iniciar el general sus gestiones extra oficiales de dictador praíctico económico y algo más que económico en la Habana. Por eso, ahora que todo parece pasado, felizmente, y el mismo nombramiento del general para representante diplomatico anuncia la restauración, hasta en las apariencias oficiales, la normalidad, deberían los cubanos dirigentes examinar la transcendencia de misiones como la que Crowder desempeñó durante un largo periodo en que, virtualmente, imponía su voluntad al ejecutivo y la las camaras cubanas en bien de propio pueblo, tal como se interpreta en Washington este bien. Cuba ha salvado definitivamente la crisis más peligrosa de su existencia. La riqueza que parecia perdida para siempre volvera pronto, en la era de prosperidad que los peritos financieros y económicos anuncian. Pero hay otro tesor que Cuba debe cuidar y velar con más celo que el de sus riquezas naturales, providamente reparadas día a día por la naturalza. Y ese tesor es su soberania y su espíritu de nacimiento independiente de raza hispana. Cuba podria arruinarse económicamente una docena de veces, segura del retorno de la prosperidad una y otra vez por un proceso de leyes naturales innutables. Pero Cuba no puede ir a la runa de su nacionalidad sin que los patriotas cubanos y Cuba siempre ha sido puedo de patriotas tengan que llorar, perdida para siempre, en forma más ó menos distrazada, la independencia. Misiones como la del general Crowder hasta ahora, no fortalezcen moralmente a un país. Los cuhanos, como un solo hombre, deben impedir que las causas que produieron la "representación personal del presidente de Washington" vuelvan a producirse en su noble, hermosa y fecunda patria.-La Preensa, N. Y. Nuevos Sintomas de Guerra en los Balkanes Se temen en tres distintas regiones choques en los Balkanes. Rumania, excitada por las incursiones de irregulares sobre la frontera rumania, se ha quejado a Budapest. Grecia, temiendo una ruptura en la conferencia de paz de Lausanne sobre el oriente, esta concentrando tropas en Tracia en preparación para reanudar las hostilidades contra Turquia. Chelosoviaquia ha comenzado la movilización parcial, así como Jugoslavia y Rumania, a consecuencia de la creencia de que Bulgaria y Turquia, han celebrado alianza secreta y conspiran en los Balkanes. Angora ha estado haciendo preparativos de guerra durante algún tiempo, levantando nuevas tropas en Tracia y Anatolia. La conferencia de Lausanne continia con dificultad, entrando hoy en su décima semana. A pesar de las largas discusiones, turcos y alliados no han podido llegar a un acuerdo substancial. Aurque Turquia probablemente seria apoyada por Rusia en caso de guerra, la flota aliada concentrada en aguas turcas es tan poderosa que los turca no podrian mantener las hostilidades a lo largo de la costa y concreterian su lucha al interior del país. Años de Ley Prohibición Hace tres años entró en vigencia la prohibición. Es todavía una experiencia gigantesca. Pueden necesitarse todavía otros tres años antes de que el país pueda con seguridad pronunciarse sobre si ha sido un éxito o ha demostrado ser un fracaso. Es una cuestión muy amplia y compleja. En un país de la extensión de los Estados Unidos la observancia de una ley tan radical es una empresa colosal; evidentemente una empresa mucho mayor que lo que los redactores de la ley pensaron que seria. Los que creyeron en ella y lucharon por la adopción de la ley se indudebiente conservan la misma actitud que tuvieron entonces. No fueron entusiastas a médias en su lucha por la aprobación. Pusieron todo el peso de sus argumentos en la lucha. No dejaron en reserva ninguna argumento para la lucha contra la misma ley, que ahora ha adquirido tan considerable importancia. La décimaoctava, ennienda constitucional paso fácilmente por el congreso y por las ratificaciones de los estados. No hubo una organización efectiva de los ciudadanos en su contra. Obtuvo el apoyo de todos los estados de la Unión, con la excepción de tres: Rhode Island, New Jersey y Connecticut. La ley Volstead fue aprobada por el congreso en un dos por tres. El presidente Wilson la vetó basado en razones técnicas, y el congreso ignoró su veto. Entonces la decimaoctava enmienda y la ley Volstead estaban separadas de la política de partido. Hoy no lo es. La verdad es que la ley seca se ha convertido en un verdadero tema político, y no puede evitarse ya que se convierta en un problema mucho mayor. Los trabajadores asociados han solicitado los vinos ligeros y la cervesa. Sam Gompers ha emprendido la lucha por ellos. La plataforma democrática de este estado demandaba los vinos ligeros y la cervesa, y el partido ganó las elecciones en los conicios de manera tan abrumadora que la oposición republicana fue destruida completamente. Determinar exactamente qué parte la plataforma humeda tuvo en la victoria es cuestión de hipotesis. Pero es cierto que desempeno una parte muy importante. En New Jersey, la campaña humeda de los democráticas arrollo cuanto se trato de oponerle. En el norte la humeda se va conviertiendo rápidamente en una cuestión democrática, y su fuerza yace principalmente en el hecho de que no tiene oposición consistente entre los electores republicanos. Mr. Hughes Ira a la Conferencia de Chile Se ha confirmado oficialmente la nueva de que el secretario de estado Hughes asistirá personalmente al congreso panamericano de Santiago el proximo marzo al contestar a la invitación que hizo el gobierno de Chile, salvo que se presentara algún imprevisto. El secretario Hughes provecta visitar de paso a Montevideo, Buenos Aires y Lima. La cuestión de se debiera invitar al Canada se ha tratado a intervalos y el punto ha sido tocado de nuevo por "La Nación" de Buenos Aires. En cuanto de sahe, el Canada nunca ha expresado ni aún extraficialmente el deseo de ser miembro de la union panamericana v se cree que sus deseos serian materia de gran importancia al determinarse si se la debiera invitar al congreso de Santiago. Los que están en cuenta de la situación dichen que militan muchas razones contra la admisión del Canada, debido principalmente a que su status político es completeness differente al de las otras naciones americanas, es decir no es una república independiente y no se cree que se tomaria determinación en tan importante materia sin la aprobación de su madre patria, aparte de que podria suscitar la cuestión de si las guayanas francesa y holandesa y la Honduras británica, entre otras, no deberían también estar representadas. La junta directiva de la Union Panamericana nunca ha discutido la cuestión de hacer miembro al Canada. Nuevo Ministro de Haiti en Washington El señor León Dejean, ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Haiti ha sido nombrado ministro de su gobierno ante los Estados Unidos para suceder al señor Albert Blanchet, que estuvo desempefando al cargo en los dos últimos años. Dejean ha residido en Washington en los últimos meses, y fué alla hacer los preparativos del empréstimo haltano recienteemente lanzado en los Estados Unidos. Presentará en hiveve sus credenciales al departamento de Estado y será pronto recibido por el presidente Harding. Acusación Por Extorsión Contra el Gobernador de Puerto Rico El fiscal Quilífones, que acaba de ser dépuesto por el gobernador interino Huyke, algüiendo instrucciones del gobernador Reilly, ha promovido investigación judicial de los cargos que se le imputaron. En la audiencia celebrada con ese motivo, el ex-fiscal expuso que el gobernador Reilly le habia pedido hiciera ciencias declaraciones para disvirtuar los cargos que el comisionado Cordova Davila habia formulado en su contra en Washington y que como se uegó a ello fué amenazado con la destitución por el gobernador. El testigo declaró que no quería mezclarse en política de ninguna clase y porena razon se negó a complacer a Reilly, por lo cual fue desde entonces objeto de persecuciones por parte del gobernador, hasta la destitución y la investigación actual. El representante del gobernador en la audiencia, señor Llauger, se opuso a que el testigo expusiera toda la trama y a cada paso le hacia objetiones a sus declaraciones. El señor Quinones manifesto que todo lo dicho fuera registrado, pues en su oportunidad intentaba hacer uso de su declaración en una acusación por exorSION que proyectaba intentar contra el gobernador Reilly Realaciones Entre el Vaticano y la República de Méjico Las relaciones entre el Vaticano y Méjico, faltas de cordialidad ya hanse enriadió todavía más a causa de que el presidente Obregón firmu un decreto expulsado de la república mejicana a Monseñor Ernesto Filippi, delegado apostolico en dicho país. Los informes recibidos aquí son oficiosos aún. No ha recibido el Vaticano todavía una comunicación directa de dicho preload. Cuando se nombre deégado papal a Monseñor Filippi, el Vaticano esperaba que se volviera a restablecer la cordialidad que antanio exísteria entre la Santa Sede y el gobierno mejicano. Dijose dos antiguos delegados apostolicos en Méjico, los cardenales Serafini y Bobbi, nunca fueron tratados hostilmente.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23—The Howard Players of the Howard University inaugurated their dramatic work for the year with the presentation of two one-act plays in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel on the University Campus. Friday evening, January 19, 1923, at 8 o'clock. The performance was arranged as a special compliment to the visiting students from European universities. The University Orchestra assisted materially with a number of selections and by the accompaniment to the various dances portrayed. The distinctive feature of the evening was the production of "The Death Dance," an original race drama, written by Thelma Duncan, a student in the university, with special dance music arranged and composed by Victor Kerney. This play is based upon the religious beliefs and customs of the Val tribe in Liberia on the West Coast of Africa. Through the courses of the officials of the Smithsonian institution the properties used in the play will be drawn from the remarkable Ward exhibit of African civilization, recently installed in the museum. In "The Death Dance" Kathleen Hillyer by her excellent dancing and J. W. Nicholson by his studied interpretation of the medicine man role should receive high praise for their work. Other persons in the cast included P. J. Chesson, F. Spaulding, Bernard Walter and A. Burke. The production has been under the special direction of Victor Kerney. Graco Nash as Pletretta in "The Maker of Dreams" was particularly effective in her delineation of the character and received much applause for her efforts. The cast of this beautiful fantasy consisted of Grace Nash, Alfred Smith and Jennings Newsome. The scenery and costumes for both plays are the work of the Players in their dramatic workshop. The Hardwood House under the direction of Montgomery, Gregory and Marie Moore Forrest. They are developing the work at Howard University with a view to the ultimate establishment of a Negro theatre. By the continual presentation of dramatic works the university hopes to raise enough to build a theatre and make a dramatic course a part of the regular curriculum. ST. ELLSWORTH RING- WOOD, LOYAL BOSTON MEMBER, PASSES AWA The death of St. Ellsworth Bingwood, the son of J. A. Ringwood and Saint Alice C. Ringwood, will be felt for a long time with them, and also by the members of the Church of God and Saints of Christ. As he was one of the favorites among many of the young men of the institutions with which he was connected, Bishop William H. Plummer, president of the Belleville Industrial School, Widow and Orphan's Home, chose him as one of the choice singers, and every one who heard that special choir knew not only that, but that he was a loving young man, always willing and obedient. He was blessed. Though young, he had a loving wife and a sweet little daughter. And by the love that Bishop William H. Plummer had for him he has given privilege that his body can be sent from the Belleville Industrial School, Widow and Orphan's Home for burial. His mother, widow and baby, with others, accompanied the body to the institution, there to help the last one respects bestowed upon the remnants of St. Elwisworth Ringwood by the president, Bishop William H. Primmer. His father, John A. Ringwood, belonged to the Boston Division, U. N. L. A. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES WE CONSUME The volume of fruit and farm truck the dwellers in Harlem consume is so large that the imagination plagages at an estimate. Fruit and vegetables are among the essentials of our foodstuffs. The high, prices we have to pay for such in Harlem makes the thrifty housewife blue in the face very often, but she has to pay because she must have the foodstuffs most from the Southern States and the West. Ida, and upon which most of us have fed from our childhood. Mr. Thomas B. Patterson and experienced farm demonstration agent of the government who has done splendid work in North Carolina and Virginia has been writing instructive articles for the Negro Progress Record, published at Hampton, Va., on "Waste on the Farm" and "Cooperative Marketing," in which he says the troubles of our farmers are aggravated by criminal waste, which is a national failing, because we have so much of everything that we have not learned how to economise in anything, as Europeans and Asiatics have and to bad marketing conditions, which have constrained farmers to lose enormously because they were not so organised as to gather and ship their truck to the markets. Mr. Patterson thinks that our farmers in the South are gradually being taught by Federal and State agents of the agricultural departments to waste as little as possible and to gather and ship their produce to market to the best advantage. This is a very great gain. The Southern whites are being taught also, as it is foolish to imagine that they are all wise in this matter or in any other matter. They also are not only human but often beautiful in dealing with themselves as well as with us. Mr. Patterson is one of the best informed and faithful workers the race has in the country. He has done wonderful uplift work among our farmers in Itawan county, N. C., and is doing like work on a larger scale in Virginia. We cannot sufficiently evaluate the services of such uplift workers in the Southern field as Mr. Patterson. We again direct attention to the fact that we should have commission merchants' associations of our own in New York to engage in the Southern States and West Indian fruit and truck trade. It would help our farmers in both parts of the world. The field is very ripe for the harvest. We should get busy more generally in the fruit and vegetable commission business. The race needs the business and the money li the family.—Negro Times. P. S.—Messra Poston, Dix and Jones, commission merchants, have organized a commission company to put Harlem grocery stores and restaurants in touch with the farmers of the South THE WAY A NEW RACE IS MADE Clement Wood, in this week's issue of the Nation, has written the frankest and most daring article on racial miscognition that ever came from a white man's pen. Mr. Wood is so fair-minded, so truthful, so unsparing of Caucasian sensibilities, that one would take him for a Negro if he was not a graduate of the Alabama State University, where Negroes are not admitted as students. "Alabama: A Study in Ultra-Violet" is the title of the article and the substance is this. The two races have mixed and are still mixing their blood; white men cohabit with Negro women and white women with Negro men; white Southern men of high position declare amalgamation to be the only solution of the race problem; the Southern whites in their effort to keep down the Negro only stunt their own growth; and, as a result, the South has made no signal contribution to the culture and progress of the Nation. Coming from a Southern white man such statements are epocalyx. Yet they are nothing more than an open admission of what everybody knows. Ostrich-like, the American public hides its head in the sandhill of self-complacency and denies the presence of mountainous facts. Every person of average common sense knows that white men have Negro mistresses and white women have Negro lovers. How could it be otherwise with two races living side by side? It has so happened since mankind began. A natural law will have its way. Fire burns, water seeks its level, the force of gravitation attracts bodies to the earth. As these laws are to the physical world, so is the law of racial fusion to the biological world. Whenever two populations dwell together they will tend to coalesce, the larger gradually absorbing the smaller. This is especially true when the smaller is an object whose women in large numbers are defenseless against the men of the other race.

After the years of misregulation in America we have 4,000,000 murders fully a thirti- dge of the rate and probably 4,000,000 of us are partly white. Perhaps more than one in every 10 of us are pure-blooded Negro. Bearing in mind that we are absorbed are only one- third of numerous as our observers what will happen in the next 300 years in 600's in a thousand. But cry the whites and the blacks too, this is abhorred of the kind of sense here, for each thing in it bastardization of women, in nature's way of getting to work done. She takes no breed of human enemies, of sexual or legal enemies, she is blind, she neither knows nor cares that her mud and to waterloo, logging the movements of Napoleon's heavy artillery, decided the fate of Europe. Nor did the white hats of Venus dig its side because the beautiful cities of Pompeii and Her alumne stood in their path. It is so with this thing this law of racial fusion. Men demean at they shoot and burn and hang to defeat them and they owe it to deed of grief to make men the instruments of the very thing they abhor. All the signs point to the American of the future as a compound in which the Negro shall be a prominent ingredient -The Negro Times THE FUTURE AMERICAN TYPE OF PERSON Mr Lathrop Stoddard of Boston author of The Rising Tide of Color in which he asserted that the black and yellow races are preparing for a grand assault upon white supremacy is worried again. In the current Saturday Evening Post he expresses his fear that Americanism as we have own it will become adulterated by the shoddy ideals of our hordes of immigrants from Southeastern Europe. He pleads for the purity of the old American stock and its traditions. American stock and all traditions. How can Mr. Stoddard or anyone else expect the old America to endure? No nation that finally develops a distinctive racial type remains what it was originally. The pure English breed of which Mr. Stoddard speaks is the resultant of a mixture of Scotch, Plets, Romans, Norwegians, Danes, French, Angles and Saxons. The pure French stock is a compound of Goths, Franks, Celts, Itomans, Norwegians and Moors. Each successive wave of peoples was an invasion, which is nothing but a violent immigration, and each people brought in its own ideals and customs. After a thousand years of residence in one spot the different elements coalesced and formed a population homogeneous in blood, language and customs. No European people even approximates racial purity except the Jews, who themselves are far from pure. How can Mr. Stoddard expect America to escape the common lot of nations* Americans are not fond of regarding this country as an exception to others. Of course we all prefer the old American type to the recent immigrants who just now may seem to be a shoddy lot in speech and manners. But just so did the Romans look upon the barbarous German invaders, and the Saxons on the Normans, the Spanish on the Moors, and the Britons on the Norse pirates who settled among them. A long look ahead, a thousand years or so, shows us these same Southeastern Europeans and the present American stock all blended into one type. Professor Boals of Columbia University believes that in three centuries the population of this country will be chiefly Slav and Negro. At least it is certain that when the people of that day speak of the American type they will mean something very different from what we mean now. There is no use quarreling with a natural law, which has always worked from Eden to Harlem towards the making of one race or national race type by the crossing and blending of many race types. The future American type of person will have, now has, plenty of Negro blood in it—Negro Times. THE NEW BISHOP OF HAITI The people of the Haitian Republic are mostly Catholic in their religion and French in their language. Some of us remember James Theodore Holly, D.D., a splendid scholar and devoted worker for Christian doctrines as a Negro among Negroes, who went to Haiti and after a long struggle and labor built up the Protestant Episcopal Church work and made it possible for his denomination to elect him as Bishop of Haiti. Since his death the work in Haiti appears to have fallen greatly. We had hoped that a Negro priest would be designated to succeed Bishop Holly, but it was not to be. Rev Harry Roberts Carson has just been consecrated Bishop of Haiti, at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in New York, the Right Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle acting as presiding Bishop at the ceremony. Bishop Carson was selected, for the Haitian work because of his many years of missionary labor in Latin America. It is reasonable to desire and expect that the black Episcopalians of the British and American church in American and British colonies, should have bishops of their own race, and we believe: they, will ultimately have them, even if they have to recode from the method chaprobe to do it. The white Methodist Episcopal Church of America has received from its non-Negro Episcopal, policy and the Pr testant Episcopal Church will have to do it. The Negro Times. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 I have something about the controversy between Horace Conkling Hueen and President Lowell of Harvard in the way the newspapers have taken it. There was some reason to fear that on this day of bucking the newspapers might side with Mr. Lowell. But they agree that Mr. Hueen had much the better of the advantage. That is a public respectful way of saying that Bruce made a foot out of Lowell. He certainly did. With his talent and training as a debater with his brilliant power of analysis he made Harvard a president book. He attended a M. Lowell's argument. He showed the compelling student to lie under the same roof with two hundred other students than not only in between them but more than presence in the same roadway each group intently. It is widely known that for fifty years Southern students at Harvard have slept and often under the same roof with No grades and not next to them in place without a word of praise. Mr. Lowell also bluntly body when he said that prejudice increased when men of different races lived together. The truth is just the opposite. Throughout the New England colleges Southwestern mass. N. H. S. S. and physical strength against Negroes and have learned to respect and like them, man to man. These Southwestern have gone back home with new ideas and the increasing liberalism of the better class of Southwestern toward the Negro is due largely to them Mr Lowell a chagrin must have in a complete when he found a opinion taking Mr Bruce a side. Mr Lowell, himself a distinguished lawyer well known that Mr Bruce has been him. He now suffers the fierce humiliation of having abandoned the traditions of his noble university, and his illustrious family of being deplorably worried in debate by a Negro and of being branded as an opponent of the best standards of his country. The crowning humiliation is that he must know, as an intelligent man, that public opinion does not think him too enough to be the president of Harvard University — Negro Times. NEGRO MOVING PICTURE In the February number of Cassau motion-picture magazine Eric D. Walrond of the editorial staff of The Negro World gives an interesting account of the Real Motion Picture Company, which produces Negro photoplay by Negro authors and with Negro actors. The Real company has done a great service in raising the Negro screen play from buffoonery to a higher level, and the response of the public has been very encouraging. The company should go on to greater success. To insure that success, however, we must have a Negro literature to support it. It is a well-known fact that practically all the best motion pictures are based upon novels which were written without thought of the screen. Only the common run of motion picture stories were written directly for the screen and none of them has the vitality of a book. Therefore the screen must depend on novelists instead of scenario writers. For the death of Negro literature there is a good reason. On the whole we are not a reading people, though we have improved in the last twenty years. Our reading public is not welded together by any great literary publication. If we had such a magazine able and willing to pay its contributors, we should soon have a worthy body of literature. It is somehow hard to convince our present Journalists that it pays to use fiction and that story-writing is hard work and should be paid for. Our Negro literary talent is languishing for lack of a medium and whoever owes or finances one will have done our race a signal service. Negro Times THE BRITISH WILL HANG 172 HINDOOS The British Government in ruling the black people of Africa and the olive colored people of India appears to believe firmly in the Christian maxim that "the blood of the martyr is the seed of the church" and that the more martyr they make to their tyrannous rule the more blood will grow out of the seed to harass therants. That it is the old soning of dragon teeth over. News comes from India that the British at Lucknow have pronounced the death sentence upon 172 Indians, accused of murder and arson, as a result of the non-commissioner rioting at Chauri-Chauri last February. The original number of the accused was 228, but 47 were acquitted, two received two-year sentences and seven died while awaiting trial. They were accused of killing seventeen police There are estimated to be some 400,000,000 East Indians under British rule in India. They are in a ferment of discontent with the Gandhi non-co-operationists strongly enforced by the other organization groups of the Empire, who, through their All India Caliphate Congress have just placed themselves on record as ready to revolt against the British Government if it goes too far in its policy against the Moslem Turks. Scan the political seavens carefully and it will readily be seen that the British Empire is in a raging storm and may be going the way of the Spanish after Samson at Santiago and Dawey in Manila Harbor destroyed Spanish naval strength. Those who sow to the winds reap the whirlwild. —The Negro Times. people. He touched on the object of our enemy in attempting to destroy the movement by saying that it is a radical movement and trying to discredit our leader by saying that he is a fraud. He urged the members to be stable minded and stand by the movement that we shall be able to exude the intent of our foes. All who witnessed the program were well pleased. I want to say to all members of the L A I A to stand firm. Remember unity there is strength, together we stand, divided we fall. Some call our leader an old dreamer because he read that Africa was for the African home and abroad. Even from the beginning of the world pure religion has been the interpretation of dreams. No more notorious or better known example of this to be found than in the Bible, where most frequently told spake his message to men in a dream. And God came to Laban the Syrian, in a dream of the night and said unto him, Take heed that this speak to you to teach other good or bad. We all remember the dreams of Joseph which being interpreted meant that he the youngest Son was to rule over his father and his brother and over the whole land of Egypt and even though his brothers sought to stay him the dream came true. And in the count of Egypt it was Joseph himself who interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh and by the dreams of that monarch was able to tell the time of great famine in Egypt and to prepare against it and go to save God's chosen people. What was true at the time of Genesis is true today for truth is vital and must prevail. All through the history of the world you will see that dreams have proved a mighty in Important to All Women Readers of This Paper Swamp-Root a Fine Medicine Thousands upon their ends of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.

He said it was of important importance to every member to support the Negro League magazine published by Norfolk Chapter No. 22 by the people and for the people with the motto One God One Ace One Destiny. He appealed to the members of the State of Virginia to support the project. With the best support of every member, the magazine will be a benefit to be held in I. A. and the public in general Mr. R.

He de- lared it meant nothing to the Negro as long as we are deprived of our liberty given us by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, therefore we are not a free people. Mr Haynes as we all know is an able speaker and we are always glad to have him at our meetings. Mr N. C.
