THOUSANDS OF NEGROES DRIVEN FROM A MISSOURI TOWN IN AMERICA—AN INDICATION OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO NEGROES WITHOUT ORGANIZATION

FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Sometimes it becomes necessary to bring to the attention of the people certain happenings, in keeping with the prophecy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as touching the future of the race.
The Industrial Wind
Hereto I append a press report of certain happenings in the little town of Caruthersville, Mo., which indicates the direction in which the industrial wind is blowing as far as it relates to the Negro. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have more than a thousand times stated that it is only a question of time when the overwhelming white population of America and of the Western World will so organize itself as to make it impossible for minority groups of Negroes in their midst to eke out an economic existence, in that time will bring about such conditions as to make it impossible for limited areas to supply enough opportunities, industrially as well as politically, for the two competitive races.
Hard Time for Negroes
most menial occupation, in that the surplus populations on the other races will seek to perform even the most menial work, to the exclusion of any other competitor. No one outside of the Universal Negro Improvement Association would have thought that white men in America would have sought to compete with Negroes even in the occupation of picking cotton; but here we have it, that in this little Missouri town the white workers there got together and in the space of thirty days drove 2,000 Negroes away from their settlement, fearing that they would compete with them even for the menial occupations that are offered in the community. What happened at Caruthersville is what is going to happen throughout America in another short while, at which time the poor Negro, except he has created for himself some haven of refuge, will become the unfortunate man without a country and without a shelter. Following is the bit of news:
The Report
Caruthersville, Mo., March 2. A carefully organized campaign of intimidation has driven more than 2,000 Negro workers from the cotton fields of Southeastern Missouri within the last thirty days, according to complaints made to local officials here today. Negro leaders charge that threats and warnings were sent to the Negroes by white laborers fearful of losing their jobs by the influx of Negroes into the recently reclaimed section. Ambrose Young, Negro, appealed for protection after he had received several warnings. "Nigger, get to hell out of here; this is a white man's country," was one notice delivered by five hooded men, Young says. "The next night I found another note on my front porch weighed down with a cartridge box, which said, "Nigger, if you cannot read-run. If you cannot run, you are as good as dead."
A White Man's Country
The representative of white labor in Missouri did not

mince words to emphasize the fact "that this is a white man's country." Every white man knows that, and every sensible Negro ought to know that the idea that everybody in the comes out openly and man's country." What are
going to live under this farcical impression that one of these days the hearts of all the people will change toward us, and give us a square deal? From the point of view of the Universal Negro Improvement Association this seems preposterous, and that is why we are fighting for the restoration of Africa, to the Negro peoples of the world; that is why we are fighting for a homeland for Negroes in Africa; that is why we are advising American and West Indian Negroes to look forward to the building up of a country of their own, a nation of their own, because later on it is not only going to be the people of Missouri acting in this way, but all over the nation there will be an emphatic line of demarcation drawn between the interests of black and white people industrially and politically.
The Annoyance of "Misleaders"
It is rather annoying to the conscientious Negro who desires a proper solution of this great race problem to have the so-called "leaders" of the race playing with this great question. Instead of settling down to a sober and practical handling of the situation; we find these "misleaders" of ours trying to point us to every other possible solution than that which is practical.
The Future of the Racc
If some unfriendly acquaintance of yours threatens to burn down your house, there is only one resort for the sensible man and that is to surround himself and his home with sufficient protection as to make it impossible for the enemy to carry out his threat, instead of hoping that the enemy will have a change of heart and of mind and wouldn't carry out this threat of his: In the same way, after being told that

this is a white man's country; after being advised time and over again that the Negro must "find his place," these so-called great "leaders" of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other organizations insist that the future of the Negro is alongside that of the white man in countries where he dominates.
The Changing of Prejudice
They try to force upon us the belief that later on this good white neighbor and fellow citizen will change his mind and will not carry out his desire of really making America a white man's country. This is foolhardiness of the worst sort, and we trust that Negroes in America and throughout the world where we live as a minority group in a majority white population will get to realize that when the white man speaks out about making any particular spot of the earth his country, that there is but one alternative for the Negro, and that is to get out and look toward building for himself.
Doing for Ourselves
Political, social, economic never be-
the Universal Negro Improvement Association's propaganda will be so scattered by those who are acquainted with it as to let all the people come in touch with this new hope of ours that of doing and establishing for ourselves.
Support Program of U. N. I. A.
It is felt that every Negro who reads the news above quoted will think it out seriously and not be brow-beaten into any other belief than that the time has come for the Negro to look out for himself. Let all of us get behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association and give it that moral and financial support necessary to put over its big program that of founding a Nation; that of developing a country for our own on the continent of Africa.
Wherever you be, send in your help to this association at its headquarters, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, so as to enable those who lead to carry on the work for the good of the entire race.

The Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association needs the support of all Members, Divisions, Chapters and Branches, and there is no better way of giving that support than by sending in the annual Assessment Tax immediately.

our Disagreements on 'The Handwriting on the Wall'—Acknowledgement Proofs of the Insecurity of the Negro Under Allian Civilization—Says Day Is Fast Approaching When It Will Be Impossible for Two Competitive Races to Live Together—Warns Negroes to Start Now in Seeking a Home and Government for Themselves
LEBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, March 4—Avalying themselves of the beautiful mild weather that prevailed today, the members and friends (and perhaps foes) of the Universal Negro Improvement Association turned out an mass tonight and packed Liberty Hall with a crowd larger, than any that has been witnessed there for a long time. It was a veritable Liberty Hall crowd, full of wooed enthusiasm, who eagerly drank in the inspiriting messages that were delivered from the rostrum and cheered themselves hearty on hearing the Hon. Marcus Harvey depleted as the greatest Negro the world has ever seen. This was done by Hon. William Sherrill, Titular Leader of American Negroes, in a masterful discourse on "Greatness." Using the thesis of H. G. Wells (who is acknowledged as one of the greatest historians of the day) in determining great men, Mr. Sherrill said that in determining the greatness of a man he question should be propounded: Was the world different because he lived? This question, he proved in eloquent language, was answered in respect to Toussaint L'Oparture, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Marcus Carvey, whom he characterized as the "four greatest men the Negro race has produced, for said he, the Negro race and the world think differently by
bunks in the island of France, with his leadership, routing France from that country and establishing a republic, Frederick Douglass's greatness lay in the fact that he exploded the idea of racial inferiority and the incapability of the Negro, having emerged out of slavery only a slave boy with limited opportunities and raised himself by his bootstraps, as it were, and was able to meet on public forums the best brains of the white race and debate on the question of slavery with them. Negroes, he said, got inspiration from Frederick Douglass and began to strive for the higher education. Booker T. Washington, Mr. Sherrill showed, dignified labor and taught the Negro that there was as much dignity in being an efficient, educated mechanic as there was in being a lawyer or doctor or teacher, and Marcus Garvey, he claimed, has changed the mind of the Negro, regarding his outlook on his motherland Africa. Since Marcus Garvey began to

talk about Africa, said Mr. Sherrell, the world has begun to turn its attention more closely to Africa; the Negro has begun to stand on tiptoes and peer into that wonderful country with a longing ambition some day to go there, and Negroes today as never before are looking and hoping for Africa and making up their minds that that continent will be safe for Negro posterity. The race was thinking differently in all directions because Marcus Garvey lived. Marcus Garvey, said he, has stepped from the ranks of his race and has begun to lead not only the race in Harlem, not only the race in America, but has begun the leadership of the Negroes of the world, and the day is coming when he too will finish his work and will step to the scroll of fame and write his name. But as Marcus Garvey starts to write, 400,000,000 will dash forward and snatch the pen, dip it in the blood of bleeding black fathers, dip it in the prayer and tears of bleeding black mothers, and write on the scroll of fame high above Booker Washington's, high above Frederick Douglass, high above Toussaint L'Ouverture's. "Marcus Garvey, the greatest Negro the world has ever seen."
Hon. Marcus Garyey spoke from the subject, "The Handwriting on the Wall." His speech was further augment in support of tention that robbery was
ization, which condition would continue in more intensified form as the years went on and the world became more populated.
The full text of the speeches follows:
HON. WM. SHERRILL SPEAK8
HON. Wm. SHERRILL SPEAKS
Hon. Wm. Shepherd spoke as follows:
Humanity is so constituted and made up that it fails to recognize or fully appreciate the worth of those who serve and sacrifice while they are serving and sacrificing. The men in history who have made great contributions to civilization and progress—the men who have brought about great reforms—the men who have done most to advance the cause of humanity and to raise the standard of the particular people whom they happen to serve, are the men who were thought less of at the time of their greatest work and achievement.
The Test of Greatness
I am going to talk to you tonight for just a little while about greatness. Some men, it has been said, are born great; others achieved greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them. The world admires a hero; the world worships a hero; they admire the man who was born great; they admire the man who had greatness thrust upon him and is measuring up, but they worship at the shrine of the man who from obscurity raised himself by his bootstraps, as it were, to the highest points of achievement and accomplishment.
Greatest Negro Leader
The leader of the great Universal Negro Improvement Association happens to belong to that class of men who have achieved greatness. Now, how do we determine a great man? From coast to coast and all around the world we have heard it ringing that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has as its leader the greatest Negro the world has seen. Some critics have attempted to laugh at that; some have attempted to sneer, while others have taken it as a huge joke, but regardless of what these insignificant critics say, the world has accepted the leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the greatest leader Negro has seen. (Applause.) How do we determine the greatness of a man? H. G. Wells a few months ago was called upon to name the five greatest men of history, which he said was a difficult world. The world has a deal of respect for the intellect and ability of Mr. Wells. He is supposed to be one of the greatest historians of today, and in naming these five great men this was his gaze: He said that when we begin to pick out the great men of history, we do not pick out those men who have amassed an enormous amount of wealth; we do not pick those men who have built up gigantic enterprises which will fall down at their death; we do not pick out those men who were able to lead great armies, but we begin to measure the size and growth of a man not by what he built up that will fall down at his death, but by that which he gives to the world that will live, putting it in other words, like that.
In the teachings of the greatness of a man you present this question: Was the world different because he lived? In adding to these great men, Christ invited the last hemines Walla Walla that the world is different because Christ lived. The teachings of Christ you will find in all walks of life. Even these persons and individuals who do not practice Christianity, believe in a large extent in the teachings of that great Master.
The Four Greatest Nomads
The Four Greatest Negroes
New, I am willing to use Mr. Wells'
standard to pick out tonight the four
greatest men the Negro race has
produced. We measure by this standard:
Does the Negro race think differently
because that individual lived? Does
the world think differently because
that individual lived? Is the world
different because this particular individual
lived?
Toussaint L'Ouverture.
Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass, another great Negro, has made the world and the race think differently, because he emerged out of slavery only a slave boy with limited opportunities and poverty stricken, and raised himself by his bootstraps, as it were, to the point where he was able to meet on public forums—the best brains of all white very
cused the Negro as a beast, and cannot capable of imbibing the culture and refinement of the white race—one not capable of mastering logic and to battle his wits against those of the white opponent; but Frederick Douglas exploded that idea of racial inferiority, and that idea of the incapability of the Negro, because he, with Negro blood in his veins and slaughter, attached to his name, demonstrated to the world that the Negro, against the greatest odds, was capable of raising himself to the highest point of culture and refinement; Negroes got inspiration from Frederick Douglas and began to strive for the higher education, compelling the world to recognize in him rage ability. Frederick Douglas goes down as one of the greatest Negroes the world has ever seen, because the race and the world are different on account of his having lived.
Booker T. Washington
Nine-year-old Samantha Garson, a geologist at the University of the world, is studying human Negro Carryl Lynch. She studied human Negro came on the same Negro had a very successful liking for Africa other than simply to be a missionary and to help those poor degraded heaters get a little of God and religion. They did not think of Africa as anything but a hideous five-widden country teaming with poisonous insects of all kinds and squatting savages that were simply waiting their chance to feed upon human goats. Missionaries came and even helped the white man to carry on that old story of the impossibility almost of living in Africa, and the missionaries told us from coast to coast the hideous things about Africa, and the wild animals and the disease and the poisonous insects, and then passed the plate and asked us to give something so that they could go back and help the Africans kill these poisonous insects. They did not tell the Negro of the wonderful possibilities of Negro industry; they did not tell the Negro of the wonderful possibilities in Africa for young, ambitious, determined and courageous Negroes who were looking for a future and a livelihood.
The Father of the African Idea
Marcus Garvey came on the scene. He did not begin telling Negroes about the diseases in Africa, for Garvey knew that we had scientific Negroes in the race that would bridle those diseases. He did not begin telling Negroes about the swamps in Africa, he did not begin telling Negroes about the wild animals in Africa, he did not begin telling: Negroes about the hideous things in Africa. He began telling Negroes everywhere that Africa is a wonderful country, that whites are going there by the hundreds of thousands, that they are colonizing their land; they are killing out the children of your ancestors; they are making Africa into a white man's country; they are subjecting the natives to a caste system worse than any Europe has ever seen, and that the time has come for Negroes who have a desire to take their place in the world and make their contribution to civilization and progress to go back to their fatherland, Africa, and look after their brothers there.
The World Turning Attention to Africa
Since Marcus Garvey began to talk
about Africa the world has begun to
turn its attention more closely to
Africa; the Negro has begun to stand
on tithie and peer into that wonderful
country with a longing ambition some
day to reach there, and Negroes today are
looking and hoping
making up their minds
ent will be made eager
Not only that; it is surprising the number of Negro newspapers that are now talking about Africa. They do not give Marcus Garvey the credit for starting up this new spirit, but almost every Negro newspaper and periodical you pick up now has not something about Africa, and what we should do in Africa, and the way we should talk about redeeming Africa. They are very much interested in Africa now. That is all right. It seems that the race is thinking a little differently because some man has lived. No only that, you will find that in this country, since Garveyism has been spread abroad, there has come on the scene several Negro trading companies who have begun trading with Africa. I ran across several when on tour through the country. I met some of the promoters. They did not tell me that they got their idea of starting a trading company with Africa from the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but I knew that the idea came because one Marcus Garvey lived who started Negroes thinking in a new direction. (Applause.)
The Standard of Negro Beauty Changed
The standard of Negro beauty has been changed because Marcus Garvey has blood (Applause). Negroes at one time never saw any beauty in black. Negroes at one time could not see any perfection in woolly hair; they actually thought that they must be white to be beautiful; they actually thought that, if their hair was to be good it had to look like somebody else's hair and the color of their skin had to be like somebody else's color. But since Marcus Garvey came on the scene Negroes began to be rather proud of their woolly hair. (Applause). They are rather proud of their black satin skins. (Renewed applause). They are rather proud of the blood that flows through their veins, and Negroes are no longer trying to trace their blood back to Indians, or back to French; or back to Spanish, but Negroes are anxious to trace their blood back to the Valley of the Congo. (Vociferous applause.)
Since Marcus Garvey came on the scene newspapers that used to run advertisements advertising "Skin Whitener" have begun to slip these advertisements out (laughter) and the Chicago Defender, that used to run a whole page advertising something to whiten your skin, I notice, has not run that page now for about two and a half years.
and we are reaching the point in American life where the white man no longer holds himself up as the master as during the slave days, and was satisfied to be master and let the Negro do the mental work; we have reached the point where the white man is not satisfied to be the capitalist of the nation, to be the industrial head, to be foreman of the gang and foreman of the workshop, but we are reaching the point in American life where the white man is competing with the co-curman for the lowest and most mental job in the nation. The position that you and I occupied for 250 years in slavery, and for 55 years in freedom is now coveted by the white man who was once our master. I trust you will see the change

HOW VIGOR AND YOUTHFUL POWER MAY BE RESTORED
EMINENT GERMAN SCIENTIST TELLS OF MAGIC POWER IN NEW DISCOVERY FOR RESTORING YOUTHFUL VIGOR, HEALTH AND STRENGTH
So the race is thinking different because the man has lived; it is thinking differently along the line of religion; it is thinking differently in all directions because Marcus Garvey has lived. And as we look at the contributions we has made, we say that he, too, can be listed among the four great Negroes that the race has produced. (Applause.)
Toussaint L'Ouverture stepped forward, served his race, made his contribution, and then stepped to the scroll of life and wrote his name on the scroll of fame and passed away. Frederick Douglas came upon the scene, stepped from among his brethren, made his contribution to the race and then wrote his name upon the scroll of fame as another one of the great Negroes that lived. Booker Washington stepped out from among the race, led his race, made his contribution, and then stepped to the scroll of fame and wrote his name on the scroll of fame as one of the great Negroes, and now Marcus Garvey has stepped from the ranks of his race and has begun to lead not only the race in Hoytell, not only the race in America, but has begun the leadership of the Negroes of the world, and the day is coming when he, too, will finish his work and will step to the scroll of fame to write his name. But as Marcus Garvey starts to write 400,000,000 will dash forward and snatch the pen, dip it in the blood of bleeding black fathers—dip it in the prayers and tears of bleeding black mothers, and they will write on the scroll of fame, high above Booker Washington's, high above Frederick Douglas' high above Toussaint L'Ouverture—Marcus Garvey, the greatest Negro the world has ever seen. (Loud and prolonged applause.)
HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH
Hon. Marcus Garvey said: My subject for tonight is "The Handwriting on the Wall." I hold in my hand a New York newspaper with a press report of something that has happened in another part of the country, just in keeping with the prophecy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of five years ago; just in keeping with the propaganda of this organization to let Negroes know that their future in America is one of racial insecurity for the fifteen million Negroes and their suffering.
The difference between the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and other organizations is, that we are endeavoring to peer through the future; to look down the future and try thereby to regulate ourselves for the good and well-being of the race. Others look at things just as they are—only for the present. It is said somewhere, "Where there is no vision the people perish." The Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring through its vision to bring to the people of this country and to this Western World a picture of the future, just what conditions are going to be, and just how we will face under those conditions. We have been criticized severely and brutally for endeavoring to hold up this vision before the people, but at times
CARLTHERSVILLE. Mo., March 3. A carefully organized campaign in intimidation has driven more than 2,000 Negro workers from the cotton fields of Southeastern Missouri within the last thirty days, according to complaints made to local officials here today. Negro leaders charged that threats and warnings were sent to the Negroes by white laborers fearful of losing their jobs by the infuse of Negroes into the recently reclaimed sections. Ambrose Young, Negro, appealed for protection after he had received several warnings, "Nigger, get to hell out of here. This is a white man's country," was one notice, delivered by five hooded men, Young said. "The next night I found another note on my front porch, weighted, down with a cartridge box. It said: "Nigger, if you can't read, run. If you can't run, you're as good as dead."
This bit of news is not broadcast: it is copied from one of the papers in New York. It is a significant bit of news. In thirty days 2,000 Negroes were driven out of a certain section of the country. These Negroes were driven out because the white laborers were fearful that those Negroes were going to take their jobs. That is not a State Senator's job; that is not a Congressman's job; that is not a lawyer's job; that is not a doctor's job; that is not a group of people wanting to be clerks in department stores; those and laborers. Now, according to the arrangement of society, the laborer is supposed to be the lowest citizen within the nation. These men were not driven out because they wanted President Harding's job, nor they were not driven out because they wanted a cabinet position; they were driven out because the white farm laborers in a cotton field section of the country—the lowest type of laborers in the country—feared that the black farm laborers were going to take their jobs. You see what is before us.
The Change of Condition
Once upon a time the Negrd would have been welcome to do farm work because no white man wanted that job, but now we are gradually reaching the point where even the most mental job

The President of the Columbian Law School Barred Colored Students and W. H. H. Hart in His Reply Ably Voiced the Black Man's Title Clear to Recognition
The controversy between President Abbott Lawrence Lowell of Harvard and Professor Roscoe Conkling Bruce in which the colored man showed superiority over the white, recalls the controversy of 1885 between President James C. Wagling of the Columbia Law School and Professor William H. H. Hart, in which the honors of the debate fell to the latter.

Howard. Perhaps no better description of its condition can be given than that which occurs in the correspondence which appeared in the public press between the president of the Columbian University of this district and William H.

Washington, D.C. 2000
Esq., now a member of the bar of the Court of Appeals and of the Supreme Court of the district, and who was appointed special assistant United States district attorney in and for the District of Columbia by Attorney-General Garland.
"The correspondence is given in full in order that the denial, upon consideration of admission of colored persons to the white law schools even in Washington may appear, as follows: (The National Republican, November 2; 1885.)
The color line in college—it is drawn anew at the Columbian University—interests correspondence between the president, Welling and an ambitious applicant for academic honors—why the race issue is raised.
The following correspondence has taken place in relation to the admission of colored students at Columbian University:
Washington, D. C.
Hon. James C. Welling;
President of Columbian Law School
1922. Four years ago when you met
married a gentleman of color in your
law school and refused the urgent demand
of a large body of students to
send him away, all good men rejoiced
and regarded your action as another
great step in the direction of equal
opportunities of culture for all persons
of good character and proper mental
training, irrespective of creed or color.
And when the young man won the
good prize, which was conferred upon
him by your own hands, together with
a decoration of the degree of bachelor
of laws, the friends of liberty and equal
rights concluded that the matter was
settled and a great victory won, so far,
as least, as your university, the best
equipped in the national capital, was
concerned.
Imagine my surprise in view of the above-named facts, therefore, when on Wednesday evening fast several gentlemen of color, myself among the number, were refused permission to attend the course of lectures to be delivered to the junior class. After being sent away by you called upon Mr. Mattingly, chairman, I believe, of the Board of Trustees. He stated in substance to a mutual friend, a lawyer, who presented the case to show that the attorney had promised the white students some time ago not to admit gentlemen of color to the lectures, because the presence of such persons in the hall might prove objectionable to the other students.
But it was suggested that, if the other students would indicate their willingness to allow colored candidates to become members of their class the Executive Board would gladly admit them; that the board had already manifested a desire to open the doors of the university to all worthy applicants by to saving several colored students within the last four years; but that now the board thought it prudent to adopt a different policy, and in the future would be governed in the manner the Wishes of the white students.
In the first place the white students
must be required to your action of
your years ago and since then have re-
garded this question as res judicata
and signified their approval of your
decision by becoming and remem-
ning members of your school, and it seems
reasonable to propose that so far as
the white students are concerned the
issue of excluding colored applicants
is being unnecessarily revived.
In the second place, your present unexcelled facilities as a university because a possibility through the benevolence of the distinguished philanthropy, W. W. Corcoran. If, therefore, the students, who are, in a measure, recipients of this great public benefactor's bounty, should combine to exclude other worthy individuals from a participation in the same, they would thereby be placed in the unenviable attitude of selfish monopolists of another man's charity, and I firmly believe that, if it were proper to submit such a matter to a junior class, the vote of the members would be for admission and not for exclusion.
But the president and honorable board of trustees of Columbian University are the custodians of a great public trust, and as upright administrators of that responsible trust they cannot allow the unreasonable prejudices of Impetuous and inexperienced undergraduates to dictate the policy of the university.
Some have blinded that the induction of a national Democratic chief executive into power has caused your change of front, but this could hardly be true, because the greatest instrument to which the signature of his excellency ever gave life and power was that declaring all the schools of the Empire State open to the children of all citizens of that commonwealth, and as President, Grover Cleveland has never in a public or private capacity said or done anything that could lead men to believe that he would act otherwise than he did as governor.
Others have wondered whether your action was not prompted by the example of the national law school. This, I take it, could scarcely be true, because though some governments favor the aggrandizement of one class of citizens at the expense of the rights of another class, yet our cointrymen have never thought such a system worthy of imitation, and if one law school, ignoring the light and duty of
The present, choose to dwell in the darkness and prejudices of the past that surely could not influence you, who are not only apathetic, but as an educator of men, ahead of the times. In the wretched and gloomy days behind us there was a reason originating in our condition of ignorance and slavery for ostracising us, but now, under the new dispensation of Providence, such reason is longer exists, and they who assist in perpetuating this prejudice against us, now that the reason for it no longer exists, are engaged in the unholy cause of sowing among their fellow men seeds of suffering and

You, sir, and the honorable board of trustees may disclaim any such far-reaching intentions in your dental of the advantages of Columbian University to worthy colored applicants. If, however, you will but reflect a moment you must recognize the fact that he who is aware of the civil tendencies of volitions, and who puts them into exercise, becomes morally responsible for their ultimate effects.
Nor will the plea of public opinion at all justify you. As the president of the leading university in the nation's capital you should be a leader of public opinion, and not its blind follower; a champion of truth, justice and benevolence, and not a servant of error.
As the president of the leading law school in the nation's capital, the guide, friend and philosopher of the growing hopes of our country, who are to become ministers of justice, exponents of the great regulative science, custodians of the honor, fortunes and welfare of the citizens of the republic, you should bid pride of race, pride of purse, pride of name, partiality, unjust discrimination, caste, prejudice and the whole foul, harpy brood stop at the door, and not offer them a place in your lecture hall nor in the hearts of your students.
In his introductory lecture Blackstone dwell upon the importance of making a knowledge of the laws of one's country a part of the education of every scholar, divine and statesman, as well as of the common lawyer. If that were true of England more than a hundred years ago, how much more important it is in our country and use, where the most humble citizen of today may be lifted to the most exalted station tomorrow, and among composite people as we are, where so many peculiarities must arise from family seclusions, it is important that all the elements of our nations should be brought together in schools, where they may become acquainted with each other and not grow up and go into active life as strangers, for to be a stranger is to most persons to be regarded with a greater or less degree of hostility;
And since those of the profession of the law are to contend in the same race for the same prizes, it is important that they should, as a rule, train in the same palestra. There are a few of the public aspects of the case. Permit me now to call your attention to some of its individual effects.
Try to imagine for a moment what an upright, refined, and sensitive mature must suffer in being thirst out from his fellow men as if he were a hopeless, solemn and despairing as if he were an open and confessed criminal denied the society of the beautiful and the cultivated, refused consent with the element and the talented, to support for the world's great trinity pleasure, profit and honor and yet not ever avenge leading to them closed as with walls of steel against him; to take through the fever and feet of life with out any of these molifying soles that spring from the kindly interest and sympathy of neighbors and friends, to see other men measured by the stoof and of character and attachment, and find himself inexorably damned by an extraneous and accidental mark of birth, for which in law and reason one can be held accountable and forced to suffer.

picture from the subsidiary principle of the society around us, when such departure is in the interest of freedom, reason, and religion; but rest assured, sir, that the right will triumph, and bring with it the rich reward of approvation; both at the bar of public opinion and in the forum of conscience.
The present unamicable relations between two elements of our people cannot continue for a very great while. We are objected to because it has been the custom to maltreat us, and most men are but mere imitators, who take the fashion of their minds as well as the out of their garments from those of the higher ranks. Once 1st persons in your high station condemn by precept and example all unjust discrimination against us, and you will be astonished to see how quickly all animosity and friction will disappear.
There is no point where a more effective beginning could be made than in the schools, and for this section than your university.
Then, when in the future some Dumas shall instruct, charm, and delight the coming generation: some Douglass warm life and rouse to activity the sense of justice, now dead in the heart of a nation totally absorbed in gain, or some Aletes, skilled in the art of diplomacy, fortified by the resources of philosophy and the learning of the school, represent the nation abroad, concerning whom, in the words of Tasso, men may say—"Alete e l'un, che da principio indigno Tra le brutere della plebe e sordo." (Aletes is the one, who, from origin unworthy, among the fifth of the people is sprung.)
You, with the complacency arising from a consciousness of duty done, may reflect that such prisons did not rise in spite of you, but that their promotion, usefulness and dignity are in a large measure the work of your hand. When such a spirit of justice shall pervade the hearts and characterize the actions of all prominent men and women of affairs of our country, then will come—

In an article written by W. E. Du Bols against Marcus Garvey, published by the Century Magazine of February, I discovered some very erroneous remarks made which I could not allow to go unanswered, because of my acquaintance and connection with the organization from its inclipency. In the year 1916 I met Hon. Marcus Garvey in a meeting at the Star Casino, 107th street and Lexington avenue, where he lectured and impressed his hearers to a great extent, during which time he discussed the international Negro problem with some of us, among whom were many Americans.
He never once during my observation attempted to influence only West Indians to help him in his program, but on the reverse, he appealed to many outstanding figures of the Negro race irrespective of nationality to assist him in launching a movement to unite the Negroes of the world to bring about the spirit of self-determination for the complete emancipation of the race and through some means secure a foothold on the Continent of Africa and there establish a government for the Negroes and build up industrial and commercial enterprises. He secured many Americans (north, south and central) along with West Indians to help him foster the cause triumphantly.
Through powerful struggles he faced the storm of opposition and secured assistance from a good many other American Negroes whose names can be secured whenever the request is made.
Mr. Garvey's appeal to many outstanding figures of the Negro race met with little success, but determinately he used those persons who responded and congenitally fostered the cause, warning his hearers as he moved along. West Indians, South and Central America, along with other Americans, uniformly worked to make the cause a success, gaining hundreds, thousands, tens and hundreds of thousands and successfully up to the millions universally responded to the call. According to Dr. Du Bois's statement that only a group of West Indians helped Mr. Garvey to launch the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is erroneous and maliciously wacked, partitioned coming from a learned professor, who interests himself in prevarication of that nature.
In reference to the "Back to Africa Movement," I always discovered many persons calling the Universal North Improvement Association a "Back to Africa" movement, but this was new.

uttered by the responsible officers of the organization.
What Mr. Garvey and other officials of said organization exclaim, is that Africa must be redeemed by Negroes who should build up a government and establish representatives everywhere to protect the interest of the Negroes on any occasion when affected, and in order that this idea may become a reality, the Negroes of the United States, West Indies, South and Central America who have attended colleges, universities and trade schools, having qualified themselves for any occasion, should participate and help to construct when the occasion demanded their services.

article I discovered that Mr. Du Bols was very personal and appeared just at this psychological instance, when counter propaganda is being applied from every direction to defeat the existence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but I may say that the learned professor is very much mistaken.
The statements of Mr. Du Bols at this time seek to bring a division be-tween the West Indians and Americans through prejudice, which would irrefragably affect the unity so long desired by Negroes everywhere.

WHAT THINK YE OF THE U. N. I. A.?
THE literary editor of The Negro World has been frequently asked during the past month, "What think ye of the U. N. I. A.?" In looking over the various editorials and articles that he has written and the various speeches that he has made, he finds that his opening remarks as master of ceremonies at the recent Carnegie Hall meeting are the best brief summary of his views. They not only epitomize his conception of the U. N. I. A., but also his Weltanschauung. In the course of that speech he said:
"There are a great many racial organizations, some organized and controlled by white people and some by colored, which have various ideas and various aims. Some of these movements aim to mould public sentiment and get the dominant race to do something for the black man. But the Universal Negro Improvement Association among Negro organizations pre-eminently emphasizes self-respect and self-reliance. It believes that, no matter how much other races may favor or oppose black men, in the last analysis they will rise by their own deeds, their own achievements; they will rise or fall by their own efforts.
SWEPT OVER THE WORLD
Universal Negro Improvement Association hasadal wave, awakening the souls of black people a new sense of their own value and a conception of their place in the world except there is an impulse and a motive it to overcome opposition and obstacles. "Which have lifted, men and races—faith in God. And it is my opinion after years of study of a history of the race that no movement since the emancipation proclamation has told in Bible: 'What shall it profit a man and lose his own soul?' Preachers put it as you have got to die in order to get you to the teaching of some preachers, you had. But the Universal Negro Impflower black man getting his reward here and love the Negro go barefooted on earth in on clippers and sandals in heaven. It is all and sandals up there, but he wants to hear here. Again, the black man is human; he belongs to the genus homo, and he has the same aspirations for self-expression and for self-development to a higher plane of civilization two ago, which lifted Greece and Rome in England, France, America and Japan in feels the surging force of world making of progress, of the mighty hopes which we are seeing today, so that we can fulfil our achievements as a race and as individual meeting you will go home having greatesty and possibilities of the Negro race.
"The Universal Negro Improvement Association has swept over the world like a tidal wave, awakening the souls of black people everywhere and giving them a new sense of their own value and importance and a new conception of their place in the universe. No race can rise except there is an impulse and a motive behind it sufficient to enable it to overcome opposition and obstacles. There have been two faiths which have lifted men and races—faith in God and faith in themselves. And it is my opinion after years of study of the race question in preparing a history of the race that no movement since Abraham Lincoln and since the emancipation proclamation has electrified
"We are told in Bible: What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" Preachers put their rewards in heaven. Just as you have got to die in order to get your life insurance, so, according to the teaching of some preachers, you have got to die to get your reward. But the Universal Negro Impflowment Association believes in the black man getting his reward here and now. It is not satisfied to have the Negro go barefooted on earth in order that he can wear golden slippers and sandals in heaven. It is all right to wear golden slippers and sandals up there, but he wants to have raiment and clothing down here.
"Then, again, the black man is human; he belongs to the genus vir as well as to the genus homo, and he has the same aspiration for liberty, for freedom, for self-expression and for self-development which lifted Egypt and Ethiopia to a higher plane of civilization two, three and four thousand years ago, which lifted Greece and Rome in the past and which lifted England, France, America and Japan in the nineteenth century. He feels the surging force of world making impulses, of the divine urge of progress, of the mighty hopes which make us men. These things we are seeing today, so that we can fulfill our destiny and mobilize our achievements as a race and as individuals. I trust that from this meeting you will go home having greater faith and belief in the destiny and possibilities of the Negro race."

M. R. FLOYD J. CALVIN is making a commendable effort to show that he is very much more than a superficial controversialist about men and measures, and that he has a forward look which requires reflection without prejudice in reaching conclusions. We are disposed to give him and all other men of like mind the credit due them, all the more readily because the situation is full of persons who are carried away with their selfish, individual and superficial opinions, which dispose, them to be unreasonable and vindictive in their consideration and discussions of men and measures.
Mr. Calvin has a very thoughtful article in the current issue of the New York Amsterdam News, in which he thinks the "tight between the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has reached such a stage that it might not be unwise to impartially review both groups and see what should be preserved and what should be destroyed in each group for the best interests of the public at large."
That is the right way to go about getting at the truth of any organization or question in dispute. Mr. Calvin finds that the two organizations have well-defined purposes as an excuse for their existence, and that these purposes are good, and that the leaders of them should not compromise their membership by antagonizing each other, declaring the one to the other. "Your program is impossible." This is the rational view, but Mr. Calvin will not be able to convince the selfish and vindictive gentlemen of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People that it is. Nobody invited them and gentlemen of other organizations in race uplift work to neglect their work in order to give most of their time and effort to the works of discrediting the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and nobody in the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to invite them to discard the policy they have adopted with their eyes, open and which they are killing themselves by pursuing, as the blundering petition to the Attorney General conclusively shows. They are so mad they are as blind as Samson's enemies made him, and are determined to destroy themselves in the futile effort to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association. What they need to do is to be about their own business, and they are learning the truth and force of this fact by the mistakes they have made and are making—The Daily Negro Times.
WE had always understood that the Messenger, "the only Negro magazine of scientific radicalism in the world," was engaged in a fight to a finish with the N. A. A. C. P. and all that it stands for. If we were mistaken or misled we can hardly blame ourselves for the error. It is not very long since we read in the Messenger such spicy bits as the following:
"A man will not oppose his benefactor. The old crowd of Negro leaders has been and is subsidized by the old crowd of white Americans—a group which viciously opposes every demand made by organized labor for an opportunity to live a better life. Now, if the old crowd of white people opposes every demand of white labor for economic justice, how can the Negro expect to get that which is denied to the white working class? And it is well-nigh beyond the realm of controversy that economic justice is at the basis of social and political equality.
"For instance, there is no organization of national prominence which ostensibly is working in the interest of the Negro which is not dominated by the old crowd of white people. And they are controlled by white people because they receive their funds—their revenue—from it. (Sic!) It is, of course, a matter of common knowledge that Du Bois does not determine the policy of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, nor does Kinckle Jones or George E. Haynes control the National Urban League. The organizations are not responsible to Negroes, because Negroes do not maintain them. * * *
"The Crisis has reached its crisis. It no longer represents the opinion of the millions of Negroes of the United States who are insisting upon justice without compromise or apology. The Crisis does not voice their sentiments any more than the Tuskegee student. The editor of the Crisis lacks (1) intelligence, (2) courage, or (3) he is controlled. In our generosity we will say that he lacks all three to a certain degree.
*** He is undoubtedly controlled by the capitalist board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. If he lacks intelligence he can't lead correctly. If he lacks courage he dares not lead correctly. If he is controlled he will not be permitted to lead Negroes in their own interests.
"The problem of the Crisis is the problem of intelligence, courage and control. It is the crisis of the Crisis. The sooner its influence wares among Negroes the sooner they will have begun to pass their crisis. The chief problem of the American Negro today is the ridding himself of misleadership of all kinds, and especially that of so-called organs of public opinion."
Naturally, it is bewildering to read in the latest issue of the Messenger that it proposes to call a radical convention to meet at Washington, D.C. in May, and that this convention will co-operate or work hand in glove with the N. A. A. C. P. Has the nature of that organization changed so much in the meantime, or has the Messenger changed? We had heard that "the lion shall lie down with the lamb," but we had always understood that when that blessed event came off the lamb would be in the same position as the

We hope that the six Socialists who are staging this grand transformation scene, will not swallow the dear N. A. A. C. P. And, naturally, we hope that the capitalist board of the N. A. A. C. P., which "will not permit the editor of the Crisis to lead Negroes in their own interests," will not swallow our Bolshevist Bonapartes. Either event would prove, we fear, a calamity of large dimensions. May we not say both, "Beware of the dog!" Or, better still, "Beware of the Greeks, specially, when they bring gifts!"
We wonder what the N. A. A. C. P. will say to this offer of the olive branch thus adroitly tendered. We confess that it tickles us demi a la morte, as the schoolboys say, to see the lion aid the lamb making friendly passes at each other. But, of course, we cannot help wondering (since we do not understand the Socialist philosophy) whether there isn't an economic advantage basis—past, present or expected—to this latest moral transformation.—H.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT
PUBLIC POLICY
By FLOYD J. CALVIN
On February 1 I was assistant editor of the Messenger Magazine. On March 1 I am not. Why? I think it is because that between those two dates I gave utterance to the following words: "The flight between the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has reached such a stage that it might not be unwise to impartially review both groups and so what should be preserved and what should be destroyed in each organization for the best interests of the public at large." This was spoken not in the columns of the Messenger, but independently in the general Negro press.
The editors of The Messenger have the unquestioned right to dictate just what should be expressed in the pages of their magazine. They are also justified in eliminating any factor which tends to create an outside impression that all is not well within their ranks. Therefore, to drop me from their editorial staff—for whatever reason—was both logical and correct. But the settling of this point gives rise to another equally as important. Why should I, after some months of association, wilfully provoke such unavoidable action?
First, as assistant editor, I was in no way responsible to the public for what appeared in the magazine. Even though I believed every word that was written, of not a single word, I all remained my personal and private opinion. But if the time ever came when I felt disposed to object or disagree, that was also my personal right. So that the points involved are purely issues of public policy.
From editorial reference to the position which I took it seems to be clear that I did not attack the rank and file of either the N. A. A. C. P. or the U. N. I. A. Also no one could deduce that I approved of Marcus Garvey or apologized for W. E. B. Du Bois. Then where was my offense? Here: The very fact that I did not point an accusing finger of the entire membership of the U. N. I. A. was the straw that broke the camel's back. As I understand it, Messrs. A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owens advocate that not only must Marcus Garvey be destroyed, but the Universal

ARY COMMENT
Negro Improvement Association as well. To my mind this is unbound. Speaking particularly of racial uplift, I cannot countenance annihilating a whole group merely because the leader of that group comes into disrepose. Surely, the host of leaders may sometimes er- perhaps for a multiplicity of reasons - but it is not logical to presuppose that a majority of their followers have likewise gone nasty. But even so—granting that a certain group is on the wrong track—what would be the correct course for a would-be public servant?
First, what is a public servant? Conciently, he is either an elected or a self-imposed spokesman for the people. Second, in speaking or acting for the people, what rule must be his guide? In order to remain a servant helpful, constructive, prophetic—he must seek to advance the people's interests. Third, how can these interests be best advanced? By lessening friction between groups, by calmly pointing out errors for the people to avoid, by presenting a practical program from which the majority may derive specific benefits. Thus, after much observation and serious reflection, I found 4 could not advocate that the N. I. N. B. be smashed simply because Marcellus Garvey is suspected of being a pad actor. And I thought it at least no harm to express my honest convictions.
AN UNNECESSARY STEP
Many of the white papers have given space to a lengthy statement issued by some prominent, Negroes against Marcus Garvey on the eve of Garvey's trial in the United States Court.
It would seem that these distinguished colored gentlemen desire to influence public opinion against Marcus Garvey. This, we think, is a decidedly wrong step, and one which takes no courage to make. Garvey loomed up as a very popular man and doubled it a number of mistakes, besides exciting jealousy among many of the old-time Negro leaders, and it is because of this jealousy more than anything else, they desire, to see him downed. We believe if Garvey has done anything wrong he should be punished, and we believe that the courts are strong enough to punish him. We further believe that if the
court officials have any preference they would like very much to see Garvey punished. If justice is appealed with, we can rest assured it will not be in Garvey's favor in favor of any Negro who teaches a radical doctrine. The courts are all too anxious to appeal radicalism, and a radical Negro like Garvey will have little chance of being favored. Hence we think it comes, with very poor grace for any group of Negroes to good but any such propaganda against any other Negro. If they have definite information, and we doubt if any have such, they can offer themselves to the district attorney, and swear to their testimony; that is the only honorable way. Garvey were a white man we doubt if these distinguished - colored leaders would have the courage to send out such a pronouncement. It is interesting to see to what lengths leadership will take us.—Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., in The Christian Record.

THROWING OUT THE LIFE LINE FOR A DRIFTING SOUL AT SEA

It is reported that Mr. W. J. Bryan, America's foremost religious politician, said recently in an address before the Southern Society at a dinner given in his honor at Miami, Fla., that he is convinced that all men are not treated equal. To be convinced is to receive proof of established facts that become real living truths, not the obnoxious theoretical vapor of a conceited animal's exhaust, but facts beyond doubt of a thousandth part of a hair's breadth, and we are positive that they cannot be had by a religious monster.
Because to obtain the fact in this case one would have to enter into direct fellowship and communication with God, and to do this it is divinely compulsory to put off the mortal physical structure and emerge to a higher celestial plane, and we are quite sure that the gentleman in question could not have compiled with the divine law and rules, of nature and still remain somewhere down in Florida, whooping worthless dogmas every time he gets ready to gobble up charitable mutton chops and wade in confiscated moonshine.
But out of human sympathy I must hurry and throw out the life line for the drifting soul at sea. I take great pleasure in quoting the following lines:
Theories which thousands cherish
Dare like clouds that sweep the sky.
Crooks and clogmas all may perish.
But truth herself can never die:
"BACK TO AFRICA" THE OTHER SIDE
Both white and Negro reviewers of the so-called "Back to Africa" movement, which has recently attracted so much attention that we have contend to treat the subject in the spirit of levity, contempt and prejudiced criticism. They have ridiculed and poured wholesale condemnation upon the latest prophet of a return to Africa, holding up to the world his alleged vanity commercial reverses and methods of administration, but failing to sense the real soul of the movement. We hold no brief for Marcus Garvey. It is common knowledge that we have disagreed with him in his management of some of the affairs of his institution. But one must acknowledge, nevertheless, that this man has felt the pulse of the Negro Masses in the western world and inspired them with racial consciousness and hope more than any other leader since our forebite exile from our ancestral home. Whatever his mistakes have been and who does not make them? Mr. Garvey has aroused in fully 50 per cent. of the Negro population of the America the determination to achieve their death in the homeland—a destiny which they believe is of Divine arrangement. We have had opportunity in this country among native and foreign born Negroes, and outside of the United States, to realize the spiritual force behind this "Back to Africa" gospel. We have preached it ourselves, not in the sense of a compulsory or universal exoiling with helpless intent, but because we can see no other ultimate solution of the vexing problem. It is easy to write with facile pen and unconditional surrender" of our rights obtained by emancipation, constitutional amendments, military service for the United States and our part in its industrial and economic development. It is right to demand equity and justice before the law and in the realm of labor. As citizens we must not acquire in discriminations in educational or civic matters. Less than this would be unworthy of our manhood. But to be satisfied merely with the enjoyment of such rights and privileges, even if there were promise of their attainment in a hundred years, marks us lacking in the vision of RACIAL independence and development. The Western Negro must be taught to forget the feignors of Egypt and enter the wilderness with his face set toward the land of his forefathers, carrying with him the educational, economic, political and religious advantages of the 300 years of enforced exile. The demand that "Garvey must go" has been vociferously made by a certain group among us, and their motives in seeking his elimination are open to suspicion. But whether he "goes" or not, the soul of the movement which he has fanned into fame, the spiritual yearnings of his legions of converts will not perish. We know—whereof we speak. The "spirit" may shed its present physical habiliments, but it will be reincarnated: What appears to be dissolution may be only the gateway to the true life. The grain of corn died to live; death often proves the stepping stone to victory. "So when this corruption shall have but on incorruption, and this mortal shall have but on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written. Death is swallowed up in Victory." The immortal grin in

At the same time it deplores the spread of Socialistic, Bolshevik, Ku Klux Klan and other propaganda in Mexico subversive of all social order, law and property rights, which dangerous doctrines it is the duty and right of the church to combat at all times.
COLORED CAVALRY COMMANDER IS PRO- MOTED TO GENERAL
FT. HUACHIUCÁ, Ariz., Feb. 25
(Pacific, Newe Bureau).—Col. Edwin B. Winans, commander of the famous 10th United States Cavalry for the past two years, has recently been commissioned a general and transferred to the Southern District. Colonel Meyera, who in the early days at the post served as captain, will succeed Colonel Winans.
With the promotion and transfer of Colonel Winans and the recent retirement of Lieut.-Col. (Chaplain) W. W. Scott, the famous 10th has lost two of its most beloved commanders.
THE AMERICAN-WEST INDIAN
PROBLEM
The doctor has caught the disease.
Mr. Chandler Owen very recently impassionately and indignantly charged Mr. Marcus Garvey with destroying by his alleged Ku Klux alliance, the kindly feeling existing for years between the American and West Indian Negroes. And now he has deliberately set himself the ungrateful task of creating friction between these two groups.
There is no American-West Indian problem, and both Americans and West Indians should refuse to cloth with reality the bogy of Mr. Owen's overwrought imagination.
The temptation to reply is great, but let no West Indian champion appear on the debating field against Mr. Owen, who recently has not been at his best.
No good either to Americans or West Indians will come from continuing a discussion which should never have been started.
There are enough real and serious problems to be solved. Let us together work on these and leave the boggy alone.

WEEKLY SERMON
By G. EMONEI CARTER
Text: "That would love thy neighbor as myself."
Subject: "Darriers to be Removed in Doing This."
Jesus found many barriers which prevented a neighborly spirit expressing itself, and he set himself deliberately to remove these. By word and example he taught men that no prejudice or custom should be allowed to prevent anyone giving help to those who really needed it. And any man who essays to follow in carrying out the command to "Love my neighbor as myself" will find he has a big job. It is not impossible or else Christ would have lived in vain. But it is necessary first to break down the "unwilling spirit."
Our Master saw that often men were not neighborly for the simple reason that they were unwilling to put themselves out to help others. There was the man who was in bed at midnight and refused to rise in order that his friend might be able to show hospitality to a belated traveler. (Luke 11:17) It was the spirit, no doubt, which led the rich man to be inattentive to Lazaraia in his pitiful condition. There were so many leegers and he did not want to be bothered. So the sick one got more attention from the dogs than he did from a man whose law commanded him to "love his neighbor as himself." These are illustrations of a large class who were unneighborly simply because they found it too much trouble to be otherwise.
We scarcely remark how far removed in spirit Jesus was from such
this "Back to Africa" or "Garvey" movement (or by whatever other name it may be called) delites changes of organization or leadership. We offer no apology for and we make no defense of Marcus Garvey. As an individual he stands or falls by his own deeds and utterances, and we know him to be sufficiently able to fight his own battles. But we do not hesitate to warm those who desire to crush his movement that while for the present they may harass the "body" thereof, no human power can kill its "soul." The faith of the adherents of the "Return to Africa" cause is of a religious and spiritual character and, wisely directed, will not fall of realization. Even as the Egyptians contributed supplies of the wherewithal when the Hebrews began their Exodus, so do we believe that white America, in the day that is coming, will voluntarily aid us to settle and develop in Liberia or elsewhere in Africa. Laugh as ye will now. But this Race is not to be exiled forever. It does not need "leaders" half so much as it needs PROPHETS. And carvery is a prophet—Bishop George H. McGuire, in "The Negro Churchman."
Editor Negro World:
Dear Sir—The attached is a detailed comment by Professor Hart's disclosed objection to the name Negre applied to African descendants here. Personally, I entertain no dislike for such objection, nor for our pessivity of accepting it, but I see a sinister thought throughout the professor's discourse.
With a caressing touch he begging from bedrock and takes his audience to surface facts about the relation of the African to his environment; then naively carries them to what seems to be the cherished desire of not only the passionate rogue, but some of our gentlemen of intelligence. Here the professor elaborates as he steps on the loud pedal and strikes his staccato fortissimo, giving his soulful tones about "physical possibilities" of unknown limit caused by the friction of mixed blood through untold generations.
I believe with the professor in the future, physical possibilities, of our race, but not by confusing the desire for distinctive preferment because of pigment proximity with the effect of warring blood colds, but that the same instinct which causes the lips of the Negro laborer to receive, thus showing his white teeth a hundred times a day to his white boss, impels his intelligent brother to collect all his forces to the most in him. This will make of him a superman in the near future rather than in the millions and myriads and more years that beckon existence. Then, too, the professor savors of much independence without regard. In this mighty twentieth century, when what was true, for us yesterday is hardly so today, and when even the prattling baba is surprisingly interrogative, one has not the privilege to offer to a thinking public an independent opinion without sufficient data upon which it can survive ephemeral existence.
Some time ago this love for independence without regard found a certain one to accuse the Literary, Editor of The New World of keeping too much in touch with "that academic stuff". But Independence with regard to original authority distinguishes the editorials of the above paper from its contemporaries and the blatant orological style. Independence without the above provision is the boomerang of originality.
Believe me to be. Yours faithfully,
C. HOWARD BLACKMAN.

men. His rest and leisure might be broken in on (Mark 1:35-37); his teaching might be interrupted (Mark 10:46-52); but that mattered nothing. It was not merely with an unruffled temper, but with positive joy that, under such circumstances, He gave Himself to His ministry of helping and healing.
2. The National Spirit
Bitter and narrow national pride was another barrier which kept the needy and their helpers apart. It came to such a pass that an Israelite who killed a stranger was not condemned to death by the Sanhedrin, because the law said the extreme penalty was only to be paid where a man killed his neighbor. A Gentile was not regarded as a neighbor. Even so is it today in this our western civilization. In some places death is not velted upon a man of white color when he kills a black. With such an attitude Jesus had no sympathy. Its love and desire to serve knew no bounds of race. For Him all men were children of His Father. Thus his compassion went out to the Gentile as well as to Jew, and he sent forth His gospel to the whole world and to every creature.
3. The Religious Spirit
Stringest and most pitiful of all was the fact that Jesus found religion itself killing the spirit of kindness. It was largely a difference in religion which made the Samaritan and Jew do everything they could to hurt and hinder each other. Among those who worshipped at Jerusalem, the desire to be righteous and undefiled led good man to keep aloof from those who were soiled with evil conduct. Publicans and sinners were left severely alone by most religious people. The doctors of souls of men fussed over the well and left the sick and wounded in spirit to get along as best they could.
It was his revolt against this state of affairs that brought Jesus into conflict with the Pharisees most frequently and bitterly. They felt it was a deep disgrace for one who claimed to be a prophet to be a friend of publicans and sinners. Our Master, on the other hand, felt it a cry shame for a God-sent Teacher not to be in close, helpful contact with those who needed Him most.
4. The Perfect Example
In removing these barriers to kindly service, Jesus left us a perfect example of what a neighbor should be. He showed the world that where a fellow man needed help, no laziness of body or selfishness of spirit, no pride of race, and, most of all, no supplied devotion to God should hinder men from offering their aid.

the white man finds that he has to do it, and is going to do it with a vengeance in preference to allowing the Negro to have it. Now if the Negro cannot even get the farm hand's job, what is he going to get later on?
The Vision of the U. N. I. A.
That is the vision of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have been preaching for the last five years, that the time is going to come in the history of man, whether it is going to be 10, 28, 50 or 100 years from now, when America is not going to be large enough to accommodate two competitive races; when we are going to have a surplus white population in this country more than enough to take care of all the jobs from the Presidency down to the farm hand's job. And we are gradually approaching that time. That was the thing that we were called crazy for—for prophesying that the time is coming when the colored man in America will be between hell and the powder house economically; that he will be forced out to starve and die or take his exit some-

Awakening Hour
The results derived from ADVERTISING has been tremendously BENEFICIAL to those who have awakened to this practical METHOD of placing their wants before the public at LARGE, THE NEGRO WORLD, if used for this purpose, will bring you desired RESULTS. Business houses that have advertised in this medium have SAID, this a thousand times. So
why don't you who have not as yet used the adv columns of this paper avail yourselves of this same PRIVILEGE? Don't delay another day, but get to the point whereby you will be a big success. Phone Harlem 2877 or write to office, 56 W. 135th St., and I will be more than glad to quote you our special rates to early year-advertisers.
Negroes who use common sense. Negroes who are thrifty. Negroes who are progressive. Negroes, who have race pride, do not read trashy newspapers. They want a paper with a solid, inspiring platform—hence THE NEGRO WORLD
where else. When conditions burden bad in any motion of the world, the people living in that station move to other sections. Some Negroes like Du Bois and Welden Johnson and the group of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People say that Negroes have no further place to go than America. Let me tell you that if 24 hours the fifteen million Negroes can be.moved as the 2,000 Negroes were moved out of that Missouri town in 30 days.
Party Affiliations Won't Count
What do they say? "This is a white man's country, nigger, move." If you won't move, run; if you can't run, you are as good as dead." Now, listen that warning did not come from the Republicans or from the Democrats; that warning comes from Social Labor Unionists. Understand that—people who make up the backbones of the country—the workers, the unionists—the so-called Socialists who are more liberal to other people than anybody else; and this is their message to 2,000 farm handes in America. These Socialists whom we are told believe in equality for everybody. Hence when we say that political parties do not count where the Negro is concerned, you will see, our point—that whether the Negro is a Socialist or a Republican or a Democrat is not going to matter when moving day comes. The moment the Negro threatens the economic existence of the white man, whether he is Socialist, Republican or Democrat, he feels the same way toward you. Now, as far as the Republican and Democrat crowds go, we know their attitude towards us. This is a Socialist class of people—people who belong to the Socialist group, and their attitude, toward the Negro is that when he competes with the white man for his job he must move, and if he can't move quickly enough he is as good as dead. It is the language of the Ku Klux Klan; it is the language of William Jennings Bryan. Just last week William Jennings Bryan, one of the great statesmen of this country, said he believed in white supremacy. Standing on the plank of American politics and American statesmanship, he said that, and this week the lowest element in American life has demonstrated its attitude towards the Negro race.
Moving Day Coming
Now, what are we going to do? That moving day is coming as sure as we are sitting in Liberty Hall tonight. It is only a question of time, and that it has not been heard before is simply because we had a war in 1914 to 1915 simply because the world has taken so long to return to normal. That is why many of us hold jobs around New York—because the world tools so long after the war of 1918 to return to normal. Your opportunity and mine is now, and is through organization toward that one alternative—a country of our own, living under our own vine and fig-tree. (Applause.)
What has happened in this Missouri town is going to happen all over America as seen through the vision and through the, philosophy and through the teaching of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I see that as clearly as I see you in Liberty Hall now. And that is why I have been wasting my time—that is why I have been giving my strength and my little intelligence to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because it will be a sad day when the Negro has nowhere to lay his head, and that day is coming—coming as sure as night follow days coming as surely as you beaten now the breath of Life that day is coming in all countries, not only in America—

in all countries where the Negro lives in the majority population of white people.
The world, as I have often said, is not becoming larger, but countries are becoming overcrowded and overpopulated with their own people. It was the overcrowding of certain sections of Europe that brought into existence the American nation. It is the overcrowding of other sections of Europe that is bringing about an African commonwealth for white people if Negroes do not look out now. And what is happening in that Missouri town is what is going to happen in Africa 206 years from now if Negroes do not look out. Two hundred years from now, after the white man gets his foothold in Africa, starting out as he is doing now, we will have the same conditions in certain sections of Africa as we are having in America now. Once upon a time America was the country of the Indian. The white man came all the way from Europe and in 300 years he tells everybody to clear out; this is a white man's country. The white man has set out now for Africa and in another 300 years, if he has built up Africa even as he has built up America, he will have the same message for the remnants of Negroes left there who come in competition with him for existence in the new country that he has built.
Solution of the Problem for This Age
Therefore, the solution of the Negro problem is not for another age; the solution of the Negro problem is not for the age past; the solution of the problem is for this age in, which we live, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring to solve that problem through universal organization of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Caring not what others say, but with the vision we have followed, with the philosophy that we have expounded, with the doctrine that we have taught to the millions of people throughout the world, we are inspired the more to fight on until victory proches on the banner that we love so well—the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green.
I am not disappointed; I am not disturbed one bit about what those white laborers did in that Missouri town, because I know long ago that would happen. I am only surprised it is not happening on a larger scale. I know it is because of the abnormality of conditions now, but we are going to hear much more of this later on in twenty-five or fifty years from now when the world will have returned to normal. The Negro's opportunity is now that the world is in confusion: Your opportunity and mine comes when the world is in confusion and the thing we pray for is that the world keeps itself in confusion. Out of the destruction of the systems already laid down will come your and my salvation and will come the salvation of our children. And I pray and every Negro should pray that France will continue to provoke Germany; that England will keep up the provocation of Turkey and Kemal Pasha, because the only hope for the Negro is the destruction of Europe.
We have nothing to hide in that respect for the simple reason that the world, as far as the Negro is concerned, is cold and indifferent. Whether it is Africa, or America or Europe, the world is cold and indifferent to the Negro, whether he is a black Frenchman or a black American or an black Englishman, the world is cold and interested in his future. Therefore, the only attitude we can adopt is that of racial self-interest, racial self-preservation. I do not care what they say about me, there is one thing I stand for and that is the interest of 400,000,000 and I will die for that. (Applause) I do not care how much they say I hate anybody else, the time has come for Negroes to love themselves. (Applause) And we live in the age of active statesmanship. All these flowery speeches of our so-called white friends in America, in England and France mean absolutely nothing. There is no speech that any so-called friend of mine can make to convince me otherwise than that the future holds just what this paper reveals to us now for us as a race of people; and I was very much amused this afternoon when I named into the hall: one who came from South Africa said to me in conversation that the South Africans are putting up new buildings and some of them who had the vision of the future to such an extent made a joke on their friends and said, "You are putting up these buildings for that Gar-

Garvey's Ambition
Let me tell you: Some fellows like Randolph and Owen and that DuBois bunch think that my greatest ambition is to be where I am. They mistake the man. I wish you had not kept me here so long. They by their jealousy and maliciousness seem to think that Marcus Garvey feels that he has reached the height of his ambition. I knew when I started, I know when I came here and I know now that the Negro cannot accomplish anything in a white man's civilization, surrounded by the white man's environment, and it is a waste of time for Marcus Garvey to live within the British Empire or the French Empire or within the American commonwealth. So the height of Marcus Garvey's ambition is not to be a successful British or a successful

Let me tell you that the salvation of the Negro rests with the present generation—rests with the Negro who will think enough and see far enough to work now in his own interests and in the interest of the posterity of this race of ours. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore comes forward with the program of Africa for the Africans those at home and those abroad. We are not going to give up this-program one bit, because it is in the only solution of the problem, because, as I said a while ago, as sure as night follows day, life in America for the black man will be insecure; life will be miserable for any colored man in this country because this country is not going to be large enough and productive enough to accommodate two rival peoples—two competitive races.

WHY NOT BE BEAUT

BY MODERN CHE
A WONDERFUL new discovery now makes it little short of criminal and cleverly for anyone to go through life with ugly, nappy, crinkly hair. How often have we admired and envelop the men and women who gilded easily through life, admired by everyone on account of their handsome hair and neat appearance. Perhaps some such attractive handsome person has stolen, the affection of girls and women, while others helpless to prevent. Or perhaps the good looks and snappy appearance of some fellow without half your brains enabled him to get the job which should have been yours.
Good Looks Result of Care
Did you ever stop to think that people are not born with beautiful hair? Good-looking hair is simply the result of a little care. If you want to succeed in modern life YOU MUST LOOK your best. Don't hide your light under a bushel.
For many years expert scientists have been experimenting for a preparation which will make the hair soft, long, and wavy, which will not turn the hair red no matter how often it is used and which will do the work in a few minutes without the use of hot combs, fuss or bother. The result of all this experimentation is ZURA-KINOULT.

A large stock of Zura Kinkout was held in when its manufacturers put it out in the market, but even the most optimistic could not anticipate of figure out such an overwhelming response. In an incredibly short time the entire supply of Zura Kinkout was gone. It disappeared like magic. The Zura offices looked like a beehive and were

"The Energista Negro Can Accomplish Anything That Men of Other Races Have Accomplished"
That this subject is insignificant in form, is unquestionably true; but it embodies conditions that are so familiar to even the most unlearned of us, that if those conditions are acquiesced in, I feel very much assured that the barricades to Negro ambition and improvement would be materially removed.
Access to noble ideals is the natural sequence of opportunity divulge, hide down ever since man's creation. It runs parallel with the life of every member of this great human family and becomes diverted only when the individual passes from these mundane shores to the great beyond through death. You will observe, therefore that it rests entirely with the individual himself, irrespective of color or creed, as to how he utilizes the ideals presented through the medium of opportunity. While the ideals of opportunity are general, it is lamentably true that it is characteristic with the Negro to accept them as matters of scanned necessity. In that there is the tendency with him invariably or almost so to believe in the impossibility to do anything upon his own initiative, but that he must of necessity be directed by men of allen races. Having implanted, this very detrimental and self-destroying propensity in his innermost soul, the Negro wanes himself into significance and complete nothingness. Although this has been the state existent, with the Negro for over 200 years, it is gratifying to remark, however, that there is still a small percentage of Negroes who have grasped the ideals of opportunity and by their energetic pursuit of those ideals have brought themselves into the limelight of recognition, greatness and respect. But because of the lack of interest in the general welfare of their race, have not all been lavished, but rather selfish with their attainments. And so we find the Universal Negro Improvement Association wedges itself into the general welfare of the Negro race as a whole, with a program which politic Negroes everywhere to a possible national greatness, even like unto that achieved by other nations of the world. The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, carries an item which tells Negroes throughout the entire universe that they too were created like all other peoples of the world and that those people who have succeeded and be-
through the energy exercised in the pursuit of the attainments with which they are not accredited. In order to clarify complex and to remove that damnable Idea so inconsiderately cherished by a goodly number of Negroes (that in to say) "The accomplishment of anything enabling upon their own initiative is an impossibility." The following comparisons might reasonably be made.
If our brother race addresses (Gladstone as an able statesman of his day can not the Negro addresse Frederick Douglass as a great statesman of his day also? Our brother race addresses Duke of Wellington as a great general; can not the Negro addresse Toussaint Douverture as a great Negro general; and who is responsible today for the Haitian republic? Our brother race addresses Drake as a great navigator; can not the Negro race addresse Cookburn as a great navigator? He has showed the world a Negro's capability in piloting the first Negra ship the Tarmouth? Our brother race addresses Shakespeare as a great poet; can not the Negro addresse Paul Laurence Dunbar as a great poet also? While there are a great many other compositions that can be made, I will end an order to save time and say that our brother race hosts of Land Northfield as a great journalist; the Negro can also host of the Hen, William H. Farris as a great journalist, and lastly our brother race hosts of David Lloyd George as the greatest state man of the age, so can the Negro boast (thank God) of the Hon. Marcus harvey as the greatest Negro statesman and inspirator the world has ever seen. The question then arises: How did the men of both races referred to make themselves great? The answer is: Because they exercised every positive energy in pursuit of the specific line (or which they have been accorded fame and greatness. The Universal Negro Improvement Association having opened the gate of aspiration, I urge Negroes everywhere to seize the opportunity now offered and use every possible energy to some noble ideals and so help to put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Of truth the energetic Negro can accomplish anything that men of other races have accomplished.

OLD HARBOR DIV. NO. 99
Notes of the Christmas Proceedings
Atlantic Coast, Costa Rica, G. A.
Christmas in this remote region was the merriest seen on the littoralis of Old Harbor for several years. The U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. showed the newcomers what the adherents of Garveyism are capable of doing.
There were horse racing, cricketting and dancing for two days and two nights. The sporting throng at an early hour on Monday, December 25, gathered on the lawn of our treasurer, the Hon. J. M. Hunter; and, under a bright tropical sky beneath the protecting foliage of Evergreen, the gay ladies could be seen spinning around, the splendor of jewels and silk sparkling in the sun like so many overgrown butterflies. This lasted until the sun threatened to dip below the distant horizon, then, a bugle call brought this part of the program to an end, and the horses of those gentlemen who are lovers of the "sport of kings" made their appearance on the turf.
Of the two races for the day, Cyril Gray's, gray marge Mally came in first, and Joseph Gayle's bay horse Thomas, second.
The next race, J. M. Hunter's bay horse Bookwood, first, and Nelson Douglas roan yall Daisy, second, both distance, six furlongs.
All fairs were turned to Liberty Hall after so much cutting on the award.
This hall, which was the scene of solemn religious ceremonies on the previous day, was now to be the orchestral center of the fashionable elements of society.
The musicians from Olivia Farm were there and dispensed sweet music to the hilarious crowd. This continued all night, until Tuesday and Tuesday night.
The whole week was one of merriement. It was Christmas as it was when I was a boy in the Isle of Spring and Evergreen.
But with all this, when New Year's eve came a certain solemn brooded over this scabboard, which was a positive proof that our people's respect for religion was not wanting.
A watch night service began at 9:15 p.m. when some very eloquent addresses were delivered with hymns and prayers between.
Just before going into the five minutes' silent prayer, Benish Smart, who was absent for more than a year, stepped on the platform and gave out Hymn No. 579, T. T. T, telling the president that the questions in that hymn were for him. The hymn was sung and the several queries therein pointed out. The president said the question was not for him, but for the U. N. I. A. The secretary said he was of the same opinion as the president, and that he would answer it. And now, Mr. Stuart, here goes the answer. Question, "Will your anchor hold, etc." Answer, "Yes, it is simply: We are out on the ocean sailing. Homeward bound we roughly ride; We are out on the ocean sailing. To our home beyond the tide."
To our home below the tree.
All the storms will soon be over,
As we reach fair Aftie harbor,
There in peace; we'll rest forever,
Praising God's and Garvey's names,
Mr. Smart, if you will follow
keenly the sayings and doings of the
U. N. L. A. you will see the feasibility
of African redemption by Negroes for
Negroes. You would also see that the
constitution of the U. N. L. A. is steering
wide of all reefs, shores and
sounds in the political ocean, heaving
and throbbing as the resistives masses
move along seeking a steersman to
take hold of the helm of the ship—
Democracy; blessed be God we have
found such a one in the person of Kine
Hon. Marc Garvey. His clear eyes
have seen the aforesaid dangers
which are nothing less than despotism,
oligarchy, Carolom and Kalasarim. It
is with this end in view that Article
V, Sections 13a and 11 of the general
laws, together with numerous clauses
that interfuse the many dictions of
the Negro World and the constitution.
"We are not thinking of Africa as
the Israelites thought of Canaan, but
rather see in a vision, a Negro consul
in every corner of the globe, where
Negroes reside, backed by a Negro
government of Africa, sufficiently
strong to protect Negroes, their rights
and interest just as those of any other
nation.
This association is an institution with a constitution that needs no interpreter.
During these merry seasons the people of Las Dehelas, in Alto Sizola, Panama, who spend their holidays on the cricket grounds, about, "Long live Garvey!" They are hampered with grafting leaders, and at the mandate of the big boss (the United Fruit Company), the government officials are trying to drive the U. N. I. A. out of the field, yet they are plodding on. What is the matter with us here, in these regions where we breathe the atmospheric of freedom? Come, brother,
"Freedom calls you, quick, be ready.
Caet to earth, the tyrant's rod;
Waking, sleeping, he strong and steady.
Place your feet on Africa's soil;
Bear no more the name of serf."
EDW. ALTEMAN SALMON.
General Secretary.
REFLECTION ON THE U. N. L. A. DELEGATES VISIT TO MUSKOGEE, OKLA.
Greetings to the parent body, members of the division and other Negro readers of The Negro World.
Wa, the Muskogee Division No. 413, do show our appreciation to the most honorable guests and delegates of the League of Nations from New York in the persons of Hon. William Sherrih and Hon. G. O. Marke.
On the night of January 15, these former mentioned speakers made their appearance in Mukogee, Okla., at the First Baptist Church, corner Fourth and Denison. Owing to the fact that every one came out with the intention of listening to the speakers, our program was unusually short. The program was as follows:
The division was led in prayer by our president, A. G. Sandefur.
Opening song, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains."
Opening remarks were made by the president also.
Then Rev. G. C. Primm, one of the most able preachers of Haskell, Okla., spoke to us in his own way.
Dr. Hart, being the master of ceremonies, spoke.
Paper, subject: "Progress of Civilization," by Miss Violet McCracken.
One," played by Miss Mrytle McIntyre.
Then came the honorable speaker of the evening, William Sherrill, introduced to the audience by Dr. Hart, who told us many things. First of his birth in Arkansas and then of the birth of Hon. Mr. Marke. He began his speech by saying that although the leaders of the U. N. L. A. were young, they were not dumbbells, but live wires. After saying this he mentioned many great men and heroes to prove that a man does not have to wait until he is old to accomplish anything. For instance, Hamlet, Napoleon, Charlemagne, William Tell, John Quilcy Adams, Alexander the Great, Charles V, Shakespeare and last, but not least, our own Hon. Marcus Gouvey.
Hon. Sherrill also brought us greetings from the following cities and towns that were gladly received:
Seattle, Washington, Florida, New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and other cities. This let us know that the Negroes everywhere are thinking the same way and striving for the same thing. Now the most wonderful and interesting greeting was from Geneva, Switzerland. Mr. Sherrill said the uninterested Negroes did not make him angry, for they are still in the dark and their eyes have never been opened to the light, and besides these "white folks" Negroes are doing everything for everybody but themselves. It is now time for the sleeping Negroes to awake and start building a government of their own, for it takes intelligence to put this program over. Our first object is to redemone the Negro right here and also to give him to know that the purest blood of all is the black blood. Our race has been crossed with every nation and now we are going to put an end to it: we are beginning to see our mistake.
If the black race only knew who they were and the great power they possess they would awake and arise and accomplish their uncompleted work. Now there are other races and some Nogreys, too, that look upon this organization and its leaders as "more dreamers," but, says Mr. Sherrill, "did you not know that 'dreamers' were the architects of greatness, that 'dreamers' achieved great things, gave birth to education, sailed seas and scaled mountains? Why, if Garvey and his followers are 'dreamers' we shall 'dream on' until we shall have dreamed the redemption of Africa. (Applause) But we are as true as streams of water, for truth crushed to earth will rise again. So it is with this crushed race." After telling us of his wonderful trip and accomplishments at Geneva, Switzerland, he introduced Hon. G. O. Marke, who also spoke inspiringly.
The closing remarks were made by our president, A. G. Sandefur, ending the great program for that evening. It was a great treat to Muskogee. All who were absent missed something valuable.

MORON (CUBA) DIVISION NO.
374 MOVING WITH THE TIDE
While we commit to memory the resurrection of our blessed Lord and Saviour, we are endeavoring to rise from our slumbering lethargy in thoughts and ideals.
Our Christmastide was well spent in relicoling in commemoration of the advent of our blessed Redeemer. We are therefore, preparing to greet His triumph over the grave on Easterside.
The Moron Choral Union will appear in one of the largest, and most up-to-date theatres in this town on Easter Sunday at 2 p.m. (Theatre Reguera) to join with the angels in heralding the triumph of our King Victorious. In so doing we are reminded that the glories of ancient Ethiopia were not lost, but slanted for a while.
And on Monday morning at 6 o'clock we shall board one of the Norte Cuba Railroad specials and go to the extreme end of the line and end the day on which the Cross brought freedom to mankind.
Thanking you, for, your valuable
space, I remain, fraternally yours,
BLACK CROSS DIVISION
MORON BRANCH, NO.
374, CAMAGUEY, CUBA
Once again, goose out our happy task of reporting that our B. C. Ns of this division have been reorganised. We have for officers, Mrs Louise Osborne, matron; Miss Beatrice Robinson, head nurse; Agnes Wilson, assistant nurse; Mrs F. Williams, secretary. We, the above mentioned, have pledged ourselves to do our best for the upkeep of this auxiliary, of this branch. The past two years have been most hazardous, in this country, thus compelling us to lay down arms. Still we must not look with sadness of heart upon the incidents of the horrible past, but must look forward with the guidance of God, to a better day, and with a hearty will our destiny will be secured. The fact is proven that when energetic people are at the head of affairs, confidence and credit at once return, and vitality and strength are again present.
Let us take note that since the interest of this division is in the hands of honest and correct men and women, Faith and confidence are evident, and safety permanently exists, and its future prosperity is clearly seen.
It is well for us to let the world know that our division is, well managed, and our time is not uselessly spent in the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The necessary means of our commercial, industrial and political development are ours. This shows that our two years' silence did not mean destruction, that we were not suffering a moral crush, has proven itself, we believe essential elements point to future success to the branches far and near, and we hope that they will never be weary climbing the ladder, until the plinnacle of success is reached and surmounted. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for space in your valuable paper, I beg to remain yours, fraternally.

THE RAPE OF THE NEW ORLEANS DIVISION
THE RAPE OF THE NEW ORLEANS DIVISION
By THOS. W. ANDERSON
Assistant Secretary-General
"Equal and exact justice to all men,
of whatever state or persuasion,
religious or political: freedom of the
press; freedom of religion; freedom of
person under the protection of the
habeas corpus; trial by juries impartially
selected—these principles form
the bright constellation which has
gone before us, and guided our steps
through an age of revolution and
reformation."—Jefferson
The parent-body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is being informed that J. W. H. Eason, former American leader of, said association, had been shot in New Orleans. La. gave little thought to the matter other than to express deep sorrow at the unfortunate occurrence. For, since last August, when Mr. Eason was charged, tried and impaired as American leader by the Third International Convention of Negroes, it had concerned itself little as to his actions of attitude as regards the organization. His subsequent antagonism to the organization had lost its force and he had become a noncitizen.
But when information reached us that the organization was blamed for and accused of being responsible for his demise, and to the degree that two members of the New Orleans Division were arrested and imprisoned, being charged with his murder, the Second Assistant Secretary-General was dispatched to New Orleans to investigate and protect the interest of the organization as well as to look after the interest of Dyer and Shakespeare, the accused.
Though we have been here nearly three weeks the mystery is not unsolved. But one thing is clear in spite

Science Discoverer New Home Treatment That Quickly Restores Vitality—Superior to Gland Operations
Depart that quality more needed for social and business success than any other. If you have noticed a premature slowing down in your nerve force if you did, you may realize an amazing rejuvenation through the remarkable discovery of science.
Many prominent European Scientists were long ago convinced that lack of activity of several of the endocrine systems in the nervous Debt, Premature Sensitivity, Undeveloped, Organs, Despondency, Restlessness in Night, Tired, Worn Out Feeling and other symptoms. Several of them pisked their lives in searching for an Elixir that would do away with painful and expensive operations. Finally, Africa they discovered an extract that seemingly produces miraculous results.
This new discovery is now prepared in convenient tablet form and may be taken easily anywhere and any time, as it is tasteless and beneficial to both the user and the recipient. It has been known to produce amazing results within 24 hours, and is said to be far superior to the famous gland operation. Many thousands of users report aplheid results, some saying they feel and look twenty years younger. To be a Nu Laboratories, distributors of this product, under the name of Re-Nu Tabs, that it will make you feel, look and act young, that they generously offer to send a large $2 treatment to anyone who will write for it for only $1. This name and address, to Re-Nu Laboratories, 622 Coca Cola Blade, Kansas City, Mo., and Re-Nu Tabs will be mailed under plain wrapper. Pay postman only $1 and postage. Use the treatment 16 days and if you haven't double your former balance, any reason will not be satisfied, your money will be returned with out question.
of all officers on the part of the local authority to the contrary—the vantage of the U. N. E. A. remains clear and unrestricted and in spite of certain special efforts on the part of a small group of Negro Baptist ministers, who have been unable to rise above the level of "camp meeting pulpiters," the membership is more loyal than ever.
The enemies of the organization are frantic in their efforts to fasten this crime on these two men and thereby make the organisation a party to it, simply because these men had the good fortune to be members of the New Orleans Division. These men have declared their absolute innocence, and they are innocent, so says the supreme law of the land, until proven guilty. Yet this widow robbing and orphan cheating klan of Negro ministers, vassals of other enunciates of the organization, in impotent crocodile fury have left off their offerings to the Christ and are rainbow clashing the Universal because it does not believe in cheating and robbing. So furious have they come here in New Orleans that they do naught at their meetings but legislate enormous fees for burying the dead and stopping Garvey.
- Thursday night, January 18, the regular weekly meeting of the New Orleans Division was broken up by the New Orleans police force and the books of the division were contested. The meeting was peaceful and the writer was speaking, or rather, explaining the premise of the constitution of the Universal when the force walked in and ordered the meeting stopped. We were carried to the police station, questioned and placed in cells. Our books were taken without the semblance of a warrant, writ or order, as is requisite in such instances. This we knew was contrary to law, but we proof

The record of the Universal is clean as to such riot as this. We teach respect for law and we urge the highest degree of order among the divisions everywhere. Men do not make riot with their bare hands and with words of counsel. All this nasco was an effort to find evidence to use against the President General at his trial. It was also a putt attempt to connect us with the Pason affair. But the healthen raged and imagined in vain. We work according to Hoyle, openly and above board.
Colonel Shanton of the New Orleans Department of Justice declared through the newspapers that nothing was found in our records to justify the hint that we were anarchistic. The organization was raped in New Orleans; it was outraged. But, instead of discouraging and crushing the work, the enemies have by their recent efforts against the organization made its defeat impossible.
We have been to prison for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, thank God! If our going to prison or even suffering death would advance the cause of Negro freedom, as advocated by the Universal, we would as willingly enter the prison cells or the vale of death as we would take a drink of water when thirsty. The local Department of Justice did me a priceless honor when it linked my name with that of the Hon. Marcus Garvey by saying that the "two most dangerous men in the organization were Garvey and Anderson." When asked why, the reply was, "They mean what they say and would go to any length to accomplish it."

THE TRI ARTS CLUB
The Tri Arts Club held its first monthly exhibit Saturday evening, February 24, 1922, at the Katy Ferguson House, 162 West 130th street, New York. The exhibit, which consisted mostly of compositions, studies from nature and portrait sketches, elicited much comment and interest among the club's many friends who were present. Included also in the exhibit were pieces of sculpture by Warren F. Smith and by Miss Augusta Savage.

In the year of 1433 I was attacked by Miserable and humiliated. This accident, I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know for over three years. I tried to after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a pluiful condition he never returned.

Ponsal, "$20 Per Cent." Miller, Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford and a few other gentlemen with rosy schemes for riches fade to insignificance compared to a young Englishman in our midst who declares that any one with $600 and a dark complexion can clean up a fortune in Liberia. The interesting thing about it is that you do it legitimately as well as quickly.
Harold Robert Taylor, who at seventeen run away from his London home to seek fortune on Africa's wold and wealthy west coast, is young in years, but has been a trader on the Dark Continent longer than any other white man. He has been there since 1915. And in a few days he is returning to this strange land of nude savages and blacks in Paris gowns, of trading posts where English men don dinner courses and give. bridge parties to keep from "going Gancee," of cannibal tribes mingling in friendly fashion with American Negroes of Harlem experience and college degrees, of wealth untold and untouched—radium, diamonds, gold and silver, mathogany, palm oil, coffee and th.
"The queerest thing to me," said Mr. Taylor in his office, 25 West Forty; third street, "is that there is not one American doing business there, although 50 per cent. of American manufacturers use the products of Liberia.
Precious Metals There
"Every cake of soap you buy in the drug store has palm oil in it; all soap requires either palm oil or olive oil. Every street cleaner's broom and the rotary sweeper You see at night is made from pliessive fiber, which grows only on Africa's west coast. So much radium is being found there that it is estimated the cost will drop to one-tenth of what it is now. Commercial quantities of gold, silver, tin and diamonds are there for the taking, and any man of dark complexion with $500 or so who couldn't make a fortune there in a few years wouldn't deserve one, that's all."
Mr. Taylor is slim, dark and wiry, with brown eyes, olive skin and a pair of muscular hands that know how to handle a rifle as well as a cigarette. It's the dark complexion that gets a man through the West African climate. No blonds need apply unless for a visit of the biblefest. As for the young American colored man or woman who needs fortune and prestige, Liberia in the place, and he will find many con-
Colorized by. Negroes
Trader Taylor is puzzled that so few of our business men know about Liberia. We kept very quiet about ourself and ran at foul tilt for the encyclopedia as soon as we left the Taylor office. It seems that during the presidency of James Monroe some thousands of freed Negroes were sent from the United States to colonize. The name "Liberia" was invented by a white clergyman named Garley, and "Monrovia," built and developed as the chief town by the returned Negroes, was named for their former President. American settlements are divided along the coast, and every one in a while a few recruits from Little Rock, Ark., or Birmingham, Ala., are welcomed with joy.
"Monroeva," goes on Mr. Taylor, "offers surprising comfort for the white traveler. You can get a big clean room with a bath at the hotel there for a few dollars a week. Putty a month would permit you to live like a king—food, clothing and servants to wait on you hand, and foot included." "The MonroeVa shops and banks and many churches. The Sunday church parade is more of a spectacle there than ever in England or America. Clothes? Why, they have Paris models? Freckles and bats and parrots for the women; the latest tailoring and sticks and spats for the men. Blacks from the minor make a weird contrast, wearing a walt string of gold nuggets, ankle of teeth
GAS IN THE STOMACH IS DANGEROUS
Recommends Daily Use of Magnesia to Overcome Trouble Caused by Fermenting Food and Acid Indigestion
Gas and wind in the stomach accompanied by wind are almost lost during after eating are almost recovered due to the presence of excessive hydrochloric acid in the stomach, creating so-called "acid indigestion." Acid stoppage are dangerous because it causes the stomach to become liting of the stomach after leading to gastritis accompanied by serious stomach acesss. Food ferments and soups, creating the distressing gas which distends the stomach and thampers the normal function of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart.
It is in the worst 'of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which are not necessary, for stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Blurasted Magnolia and take a teaspoonful in a quart glass with water right after catheter insertion. Wet it down with a blow right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent 'its' formation and abuse by no soreness or pain. Blurasted Magnolia is a form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach. Inexpensive to take and the best form of magnolia for stomach purposes. It is used by people with no more fear of indigestion.
and perhaps an old silk hat or a pair of spats to set them off.
Many Whites There
"There are nearly 300 whites in and about Monrovia, mostly English, French and Portuguese. Up to the war there were a lot of Germans, but the Germans' sank Monrovia's navy, consisting of one boat—and Teutons are not so popular any more." That are some 20,000 Negroes of enlightened type who are proud of being counted tribesmen who filter in from the interior."
Mr. Taylor picks up his traps every little while and takes a hike into this mysterious land of the interior, trading 'gaudy, calico, bends, salt and occasionally a colorless liquid. in square bottles, said to contain a higher alcoholic percentage than Mr. Volstead would approve, for priceless ivories, oils and basic drugs.
Ho communes with cannibals who not infrequently dine on a relative or visitor, but "gets along all right by working the Golden Rule." His experiences, however, when the Golden Rule didn't work, would thrill you and fill a fire that shelf of books. Mr. Taylor looks like a mild young man. But get him talking and his floggings, shootings and other rough but necessary clashes with savage blacks make you realize that, for all its easy treasure, Liberia is a land for those only who are husky of body and soul.

NEW ORLEANS DEFENSE FUND; EVERYBODY MUST SUBSCRIBE
The enemies of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are endowing 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 comes the duty of divisions and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to defend these innocent men. All divisions and members are hereby requested to send in immediate contributions to a Defense Fund for these men. We cannot allow our enemies to fasten upon the association a crime that is beneath us.
It is alleged that Eason met his death through the affair of women, yet our families are endowing to distribute the responsibility to innocent members of our association.

The case against the Honorable Marcus Garvey, Ellie Garcia and George Tobias of the Black Star Line for alleged misuse of the United States malls will be called some time this month in New York. For quite a while enemies of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been working for the purpose of turning public sentiment against Mr. Garvey.
Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr. Garvey. They have organized opposition meetings in different centers under the caption, "Garvey Must Go!" All this is being done to defeat the hopes of our race through the only real Negro movement started in the interest of the race.
The fight for African freedom is eternal and you must support it now by supporting the greatest leader of the race. Send in your subscription to this fund immediately. All subscriptions will be acknowledged in the columns of this paper.

Papeles pueritas de hierro con podias de cauga eléctrica perda instalaciones a la entrada, garantizando su consumidad.
Los excursionistas de todas partes del mundo han concurrido en tanracido al umero aniosos de costumbrar la maravilla de los últimos desacabriéndos que, las autoridades egipcias han suplicado a Lord-Caravan que mantenga abertas las tumbas, al menos por otra semana.
Se sabe que Mrs. Howard Carter era partidaria de proceder rápidamente a la clausura de la cámara interior; pero accediendo a los deseos expresados por las autoridades y por los industriales de Luxor, han procrerido el plazo.
Una relación extraña, sin duda una conspiracion, parece existir entre ciertos de los tal llamados directores de nuestros intereses en America y en las Antillas, con el objeto de destruir las mas elevadas aspiraciones de nuestra raza. Los dos caracteres mas prominentes en esta aparente conspiracion son periodistas quienes según sus manilestaciones, estan avergonzados de que por sus venas corra sangre africana.
Cuientanse entre los últimos visitantes gran número de dibujantes de las mejores casas de modas de Paris y Londres que según sus propias declaraciones vienen buseando nuevas ideas para sus creaciones de la proxima temporada.
Desgraciadamente estos señores editores tienen la oportunidad de propagar por medio de la prensa entre los pueblos de su misma raza el que la mas alta aspiración social y política del Negro debe ser basada sobre el idealismo de todo lo que sea caucásico y que fuera de tal patronaje social dimanado del blanco no habrá otra resolución posible. Es consabido que estos señores enemigos aserrimos de nuestra organización y de sus propósitos, tratan con su política de engaños destruir todo nuestro orgullo y respeto por la raza a que pertenecemos.
Se espera que las regias vestiduras de Tut-ankh-amen les suministreren lo selementos para la creación de una nueva falda que hara verdadero furor en el mundo antero.
La publicidad que se ha dado a los últimos descubrimientos en la prensa, mundial, ha sido tan grande, que los exploradores comienzan a sentir inquietud sobre la posibilidad de un intento de robo, mientras dure la suspensión de los trabajos en la temporada de verano.
Esta conspiracion para subyugar al Negro ha sido llevada muy lejos por estos sepulcros blanqueados y consideramos como nuestro deber el que es tiempo de poner en conocimiento del elemento conciente de nuestra raza que es un honor ser Negro y no una desgracia; que preferimos ser Negros con respeto a si mismo a ser Negros con muy poca o ninguna consideracion por perseguir, igualdad social entro las demas razas. Opinamos que cada individuo y cada raza tiene el derecho de elegir su propia compañía y su propio amigo, pero ninguno como el de su propia familia. Solamente cierta clase de Negros ambiciona sociabilidad con las otras razas, pero la mayoria, las masas de nuestro pueblo, con gran respeto a si mismos, no ven otra cosa sino el perfeccionamiento de todo cuanto sangre africana signifique.
Se han adoptado las debidas precausiones para evitar las construcciones de tuneles de las proximas colinas a las tunibas:
Los miembros de la expedition dirigida por Lord Carnavon apenas tienen tiempo para comer y descanse, pesando además sobre ellos una tension de espiritu enorme, debida a las sensaciones experimentadas al realizar los descubrimientos.
Aunque no se han encontrado pergaminos de ninguna clase se espera que alguno saldrá a la luz al abrir las cajas de la cámara interior que aún están intactas.
En la urna interior han sido encontrados algunos botes en miniatura así como unos remos muy parecidos a los usados por los indios americanos varios siglos después.
Otra de las injusticias cometidas por estos señores editores en contra de su propia raza, ha sido la solicitud y requisición de trumanzas de las demas razas con el pretesor de educación. Las naciones siempre interesadas en la explotación de nuestra raza se han dado cuenta de que actualmente existe una agitación universal en pro de la absoluta emancipación del continente africano, patrocinada por los pueblos Negros del universo. Los nativos toman parte activa en esta agitación y sus hermanos del hemisferio occidental prestan una ayuda propotente trabajando y luchando sin cesar. Viendo que el Negro del presente empieza a hacer uso de sus facultades reclamando sus derechos, las naciones ambiciosas realizan que será una ardua labor el tratar de convencer al Negro que acepte su cooperación y utilizan a estos señores editores para que con su propaganda maliciosa, influyan en la conciencia de sus propios hermanos.
Una Nueva Traición
Es un doloroso comentario sobre la degeneración de cierta especie de mal llamados, desleales americanos, el que el departamento de policía haya encontrado necesario conceder especial protección a las iglesias casadas durante el período de la Cuarresma. Esto se hace con el fin de impedir actos de incendiarios como los que recientenba han terminado con la destrucción de varias iglesias capilares en el Canada.
El incendiario es evidentemente una amenaza para la sociedad. Pero cuando especializa en la destrucción de tenios, se convierte en una especie de incendiario social de todavía peor alcance. El incendiario, cuyo fanatismo le arrastra a quemar iglesias, es un enemigo no solo de una particular secta o religion sino de los principios de libertad religiosa y de mutua tolerancia y cooperación en las que se basa una verdadera democracia.
Estós parásitos de nuestra raza recurren a los filántropos por financias; éstos demandan en cambio su influencia. Ninguna persona ha de donar financias sin propósito alguno; su intención al donarlas a instituciones de nuestra raza, es para que se nos dé una educación limita que es noda y se nos retenga si es posible en la ignorancia. Ellos notan que estas instituciones de nuestra raza, influenciadas por su cooperción financiera siguen sus instrucciones al pie de la letra y aprovechan toda oportunidad para explotarnos y denigrarnos. Esta es la labor que realizan estos señores editores en perjuicio del enaltecimiento de la raza Negra.
Nuevo Gohernador de Puerto Rico
El representante Horacio M. Towner, de Iowa, presidente del comité de la camara sobre asuntos insulares, y quien en los ultimos años ha tomado uncho interes en los asuntos puertorriquienes, será nombrado gobernador de Puerto Rico para suceder al gobernador E. Mont Reilly, el cual recientemente puso su renuncia por enfermedad, según su supo hoy de fuentes que se tienen como seguras.
Por fortuna la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra esta siempre en pie y alerta para exponer estas tramas, puestas en práctica por los verdaderos enemigos de la raza. Los elementos concientes no han de prestar atención alguna a la propaganda de estos instrumentos de otras razas, quienes han demostrado muy poco respeto y consideración por la propia.
Tílenes entendido que el nombramiento de Towner será bien acogido por los puertorriquenos.
Nuestra raza no necesita del consejo ni cooperación de las demas razas. Las llamadas naciones cristianas por centenares de años han estado predicando el cristianismo como medio eficiente para robar y explotar el continente africano. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra tiene desde su iniciación un programa que ha de llevar a su realización; por medio de la cooperación exclusiva de los elementos concientes de nuestra propia raza. Siendo leales a esta noble causa nada ha de impedirnos la realización de sus propósitos.

El secretario del tablajo Davis anunció hoy que se estaban adoptando las medidas necesarias para entabla una acción judicial por las ultimas declaraciones de la bilarina, durante su estancia, en Paris, por ser ofensivas a la nación y al pueblo de los Estados Unidos.

Sufragio Para la Mujer
Fifipina
Según noticias recibidas a las mujeres filipinas se les has acordado el derecho de sufragio con dos condiciones.
Al aprobar el proyecto el senado de Filipinas estipuló que no vendría a entrar en vigor hasta que no se sometiera al ejecutivo una petición firmada al menos por cincuenta mil filipinas. Luego la medida se sometera a un plebiscito en el que deben participar al menos un diez por ciento de las mujeres filipinas.
Uno de los requisitos para ejercer el derecho de voto la mujer filipina es la de ser mayor de veintiin años de edad y otro el de saber leer y escribir.

own Police - Commissioner, his own Municipal and Supreme Court Judges, and ever his own jail to put unuly Negroes in. (Laughter). So long as you build up a white man's country so long will be, directly or indirectly, destroy your progress. So long as he is to correct the cells within your race for the possibility of your success so long will they remain uncorrected. If you are waiting on the white man to give you protection for the possibility of your development, you and I will wait until clarity.
Therefore, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marriott survey and those of us who lead feel that the only solution of the Negro problem is to create a government of our own, where Negroes will rule Negroes; where Negroes will be compelled to be honest and true to Negroes because of the correction that will be enforced upon them by the laws made by Negroes for their own racial development. (Applause). When you can make laws to punish unruly and lawless Negroes and the Russians did when they were making the Russian Empire and as the British did when they were making the British Empire and as theathers of the country did when they were making the American nation, then and only then will the race of one go back and enjoy the things that we have mapped out for the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Feeling around with Negroes under white people civilization will never get set out or actually any other. But the time is coming when through the efforts of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we will establish a system of government by which we will be able to correct our own civil and give an opportunity to those who desire to follow in the right way for the development of this race of our.
HON. R. L. POSTON SPEAKS
Mr. Peston, in a brief address, says
told that the Norwegian in America will
more accept it as being to segregate
himself from millions of his people in
America, and to give more in the
mortal soul. If any man would ask him
where he would begin to solve the
problem of the Negro he would say he
would begin on the New heart of
Africa, one that was the program of
the U. N. A.
I may go through the best colleges in the world, but I may be cultured and I may be refined. I may understand and I may be an individual in this country, but I want to know something about my ancestors; I want to know something about the majority group with which I am identified, and when they can trace me to Africa in a class of people who are not achievement science and in the arts of government; when they can point to that kind of trouble, no matter to what height I reach in this country I will not amount to very much as a race. And it was a mystery to me that men like by them, with all of their training, cannot see that, no matter to what height they may ascend. If I am down in the gutter grazing in insurance and in superstition I will pull them down. We of the U. N. I. A. see that, and we know that it is but child's play to devote our time trying to build up something here in Harlem. Our problem is not a local one, and a local application will not solve the condition of the Negro. A few Japanese out in San Francisco cannot solve the Japanese problem, because the Japanese problem is in Japan; a few Chinesemen here in Pell street and Chinatown cannot solve the problem of the Chinese, because their problem is in the Chinese Empire. And we few Negroes, struggling against powerful odds, cannot solve the problem of our people here in Harlem, because it is not a local problem, but is a universal one, and the greatest source of that problem is in the heart of Africa. Do you want to live? Do you want to be a great race? Do you want to achieve in science and in government? If you do, then with all your heart, with all your bodies, with all your minds and with all your souls get, behind the program of the U. N. I. A., because that is the ship and all other programs the sea.

IS AMERICA CIVILIZED?
NO! BECAUSE OF
LYNCHING, SAYS HOLMES
John Haynes Holmes preached a sermon at his Community, Church in New York city, February 11, in which he asked and replied to the question: "Is America Civilized?" Coming to the conclusion no country is civilized in which lynching is tolerated, according to the N. A. A. C. P. press service. Dr. Holmes is a vice-president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He said in part: "Is America a civilized country? One phenomenon absolutely unknown to any other portion of the so-called civilized world today I venture to offer as the answer to this question. I refer, of course, to the specifically American horror of lynching.
"Lynching now takes place in the North as well as in the South—in Pennsylvania, Illinois, North Dakota, as well as Texas, Georgia and Mississippi. White men are now lynched as well as Negroes. In 1922, for example, 7 whites and 53 blacks were thus put to death. Lynching. In other words, it is no longer sectional or racial, but national; it is the great American atrocity.
"As such, it is the supreme indictment of our civilization. It is the triumph of savagery in its most ugly and brutal form. Therefore, I offer Lynching as the test of our society. So long as this crime is practiced by some and tolerated by all, so long as it is politically impossible to get a law through Congress which will destroy it so long this nation is a barbarism, and we ought to be ashamed to live. Only when it is wiped out by an enlightened and determined public opinion can America lay claim to civilization."
THE GIRLS' BASKET BALL WORLD
A situation has surely happened in the gold basketball world. The New York Academy has defeated in fine sportmanship, clearly and definitely, the New York Declare.
After many trials and trials, after being down compared to the point of disruption, the New York Academy girls with great determination snuck to it through a long season of defeats and at lag with great determination came back, on the fettle and form under the leadership of their high-rated and unmaturable coach, Mr. Hirold Cron, and defeated the fast and inordinate New York Deers A, C, basketball team to St. Mark's Hall, Friday evening, February 16. The whole house came down in thunderous applause and Mr. Justice and all the paces set for highest praise and congratulation for their splendid work and determination.
The Deers worked hard and fast to bring down the lead of the Academy in the first half, which was for 15 minutes 9-10, but the Academy girls were too determined, too swift and sure of their goal shooting for the Deers to overcome their lead.
To celebrate their victory, the Academy girls will hold a reception and invite us as their guests their defeated companions, the New York Deers, Titheway, evening, March 4.
The Academy girls also defeated the St. Mark's Lepers Saturday evening, Feb. 10, by a some of 19-7, March 16 they will play the Salem crescents, and at the same time the Oriental A. C. girls of New Rochelle and the Mysterious Five of Jersey City have been asked to play.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance. Should Use Swamp-Root
Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmers's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the prominent life insurance companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that "most people why so many applicants or insurers because kidney trouble is so common American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale, at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this preparation, send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this."
Now is the time when we need men who will not sell the organization or any part of it for a mess of potage. We want men who; when placed at the head of any of its auxiliaries, will not stoop to the lowest thing they are find; men who will not himilimate any of the units for a drink or a cigar.
The Alms and Objects of this organisation provide no place, for such men, the proper place for them to aboard the "Uncle Tom Cahir" ship. We are indeed sorry to say that at this time we have such men to deal with, but we are very glad that they will soon pass off the stage of action, and perhaps find a place in the warmer regions.
Many of us talk in terms of "democracy." We talk of the "new Negro," we talk of "justice," but the question is, do we practice what we preach? The race has suffered from the actions of such worthless men: will the race continue to suffer from such as account Negroes? During the war when the Allied Powers saw where they were losing, they quickly called a conference and decided to give the reins to the French general who was best fitted, and placed all other generals under him for the purpose of saving their countries. The Negro should adopt the same method if the race must survive. These old "Uncle Tom Negroes," who cannot measure up to the standard and requirements of the new Negro, should back down and get out of the way, and we the younger ones will not fall in carrying out our desire, that of freeing ourselves.
If you happen to bring a pig into your parlor, he may behave himself for a little while, but that pig will soon show you where he belongs, and where he pleases to be. There are Negroes in the U. N. I. A. who have been misplaced, and the sooner we get them out of the way, the better will the movement strive.
The saying is that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks; this is a positive fact. The old dog is accustomed to grasping at the shadow and losing the substance; we have some Negroes who would sell the movement for a drink of booth or a cigar.
The U. A. Legion was organized in September, 1919, for the purpose and with the intention of doing that which is right by the movement, but this can only be manifested when those above us or those who have been placed at the head are willing to be impartial in their dealings with the various units. General Pershing, who is the military head of the American Army, must at all times issue orders which are consistent with the rules and regulations of the United States Army. The Seventy-fourth Regiment may be the favorite of General Pershing, but he dare not change their serial or status according to record; in other words, he cannot change the Seventy-fourth Regiment and make it the first Regiment, because it is his favorite, but sorry to say that with the Negro it is not so. The Negro seemingly does most things by favoritism, and by this means destroys himself. But we of the younger generation are determined that these fogy Negroes, even though they be placed at the head, will not lead us to hell because we are tired of them now. Away with the Uncle Tom Negro; we are tired of them.

11. Romanyd. Ads
The vulture of the Virgin Islands have made their second swoop. This time it is on the Island of St. Thomas, and the issues involved are the power of deportation and the right of the prince to publish news which is neither defamatory nor libelous, but simply criticized of a cracker named Gaffney, who never had anything "down south," but feels that he must assume the airs of a little tin soldier strutting in a penny peep show. This is the story:
Morenga Bonaparte, in spite of his name, is a British subject, native of the Island of Grenada, In the British West Indies. He has been for many years a resident of the island of St. Thomas, which was transferred to the United States in 1917 under a treaty of sale. While in St. Thomas, Bonaparte engaged in journalism and was one of the associate editors of a small weekly paper run by the radical element among the Negroes of that island. The editor-in-chief of the paper was a member of the legislative body called the Colonial Council, although it has no power to initiate legislation and a majority of its members are not elected by the voters of the island, but are officially hand-picked by the authorities who have seats on the same council. Virgin Island Governor More Mighty Than U. S. President
It has been already decided by Governor Kittelle, by the present Governor Hough, by J. J. Gaffney, the cracker above referred to; by Judge McKean, Magistrate Payne and all the officials of the naval regime that those rights which are guaranteed by the Constitution in the forty-eight States of the American Union do not apply where the navy has exclusive jurisdiction—especially in the Virgin Islands, and most, particularly to newspapers. The life of a journalist of color in the Virgin Islands of the United States is not quite as idyllic as one could wish.
For Instance: In the United States, where people are governed by laws, the fathers of the country hold it down as a prime principle of their Government that the legislative, executive and judicial functions of the Government should never be united in any one person or, to put it in plainer English, that no person, however great he might be, should at the same time make the law, interpret the law, and apply the law; because they realized that in such a case that person would be the law—a
into himself. And while the American people since that time have loved and revered many great men, they have never entrusted any one of them with any two of these powers at the same time. Yet what the wisdom of the American people has withheld from George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Warren G. Harding, the carelessness of Congress concedes to every naval jack-in-office who gets temporarily promoted to the governorship of the Virgin Islands.
But to resume the story of Meronata Bonaparte. On November 27 of last year, the paper which he helped to edit carried an editorial signed, with his initials (which was a decided tactical error). In this editorial he quoted from the report of the Joint Commission which whitewashed the Navy Department's singular rule two years before. The first quotation reads:
"The commission cannot speak too highly of the work done by the navy in carrying on the government of the islands."
Just the second question says,
"The judge of the court is police master, a member of the Colonial Tax Commission, a member of the Colonial Council, also in charge of deeds and mortgages of records. As police master he institutes cases which are tried before him. This is an un-American policy." "The writer of the editorial simply repeats the same criticism and, in charging it, cites two specific illustrations of the recent date, closing with the statement that "The holes in the Police Department should be darned." We venture to think that no Southern white man in Mississippi, Tennessee or Texas would consider such an editor, in a Negro newspaper as sufficient ground for even a Ku Klux condemnation.
But behold! On the very next day the following official notification was served on Mr. Bonaparte: "November 28, 1922, Mr. Morenga-Bon parte, sublieuter of the 'Emancipation' St. Thomas, Shr. A meeting of the Police Commission will be held in Christianfort at 10 a. p. Wednesday, November 29, 1922, for the purpose of considering certain published statements' which hear your name!
"If you care to be present at this time to give such information as you may have to the Commission, in justification of your public statements, you are hereby informed that you will be afforded an opportunity at the time and place mentioned. Very truly yours, J. J. Gaffney, chairman of the Police Commission."
He appeared before this commission, where he was forced to testify under oath at its star chamber proceedings, and Gaffney, insultingly insisted, that he should write and print in the paper a public apology. This Bonaparte refused to do Nehmer the Colonial Council nor the Organic Act under which the Navy Department has ever given to this commission the right and power to try civilians—or any one else. It was, therefore, operating ultra virens, by the hippopotamus, and even if it had such people, the exercise of it would have been highly improper in a case in which such was the defendant. Howappe, the chairman, Gaffney, referred
the case to the Governor, who, according to the navy's ideas of government, has at the same time civil, judicial and military powers. On Jan. 31 this legally divine person, this trinity in unity, issued the following order:
and concentrate their efforts in that part of America where they are still free to protest, to criticize, to plan for better conditions. It becomes the duty of the weaker peoples to fight for democracy since the strong hardly need to. And it certainly seems queer that the Governor of the Virgin Islands, unlike the President of the United States, should be able to play the part of W. S. Gilbert's sailor-man, who, after eating the cook, who had eaten the mate, that had eaten the captain and others, could truthfully declare: "Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold
"Governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, January 31, 1922. From: Governor of the Virgin Islands to sheriff, municipality of St. Thomas. Subject: Departation of Thomas F. H. Morenga-Bonaparte. By virtue of the power invested in me and the ordinances or laws of the Virgin Islands in such cases made and provided the deportation of Thomas F. H. Morenga-Bonaparte, a native of Greinada, British West Indies, is hereby authorized."
And the mate of the "Nancy" brig:
And the hot sun tight, and a midship-
mite
And the crew of the captain's glg."
The immediate task before Virgin
Islanders is to call the attention of
America to this curious anomaly which
takes from President Harding in the
name of democracy a privilege which
it gives to Mr. J. J. Gaffney, cracker,
in the name of race prejudice. It is
for them to ask why there should be
one form of rule for Filipinos and a
worse one for Negroes under the same
flag?
(Signed): "HENRY H. HOUGH." Whereupon, Bonaparte was notified to hold himself in readiness for deportation on the "S. S. Guiana." The journalist, however, did not wait for the "Guiana," but left by sail boat for the British island of Tortola.
When the Cracker Cuts Loose
This is the second case of deportation in the Virgin Islands during the last five months, the first being the now notorious Barrow case. It is another evidence of the spirit of intolerant tyranny which is bound to break out wherever and whenever white Americans from the Southern States are given any authority over colored people anywhere. It is the spirit which is responsible for "the rising tide of color against white world supremacy." And we can not forget that in his now celebrated Birmingham address President Harding, asked all intelligent white Americans to read and study the book by that name which Lothrop Stoddard has written. We feel sure that the officials of the Navy Department will not let any copies of that book appear in the public libraries in the Virgin Islands. But we wish that they themselves would read it—for their own good: For they would begin to see that it is just this policy of outrageous oppression which is consolidating the twelve hundred million black and brown and yellow people against the less than three hundred million (out of five hundred million) whites who have embarked on the career of economist and racial imperialism.
Is the hoodwink held fast against the eyes of justice in the Virgin Islands? Are her feet changed to the marble pedestal of liberty and right with the heavy chains of injustice? Is there one measure of justice for the man of power and another for the mendicant? Is there one interpretation of the law for Dives and another for Lazarus? Is it possible that man is measured by his dollars, that the "Equal Rights to All—Special Privileges to None" idea has been turned to the wall and the almighty, dollar framed in its stead? Must the masses in the Virgin Islands bow down in worship of the "overlord" while the paladium of their liberties is transformed into a tool of special privilege?
Lift Off with Fingers
Intelligent men everywhere know that it is a poor policy which consolidates its victims in a confraternity of suffering and sets them to asking, "How long, O Lord, how long?" And that is why the intelligent whites in the United States are even now doing all they can to lift from the soul of twelve million Negroes the awful shadow of oppression and to give them an outlook brighter than that which the Gaffeys, Houghs, McKeans and Williams would prescribe for them. But this safety, safer way must beat back the spirit of the "tracker" which blocks the way to better relations between black and white Americans; for if it fails to do this, then God knows what the future may bring forth.
Doesn't hurt a bit! Drop a little "Freezeze" on an aching corn, then that corn stops hurting, then shrunkely you lift it right off with fingers. Truly a finger bells a tiny bottle of "Freezeze" in hard corn, remove every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, and the calluser, without soreness or irritation.
And now, what is it that the Virgin Islanders must do? Since they are not permitted to speak or write against "the wrongs that need resistance" in the Virgin Islands, it is all the more necessary that they could combine
