The Negro World

NEGRO PROBLEM IN ENGLAND-ENGLISH HATE NEGROES-AMERICANS NOT ALONE Are You Going to Meet Me at CARNEGIE HALL, 154 West 57th Street, NEW YORK CITY TONIGHT, TUESDAY, March 27th, 1923 AT EIGHT O'CLOCK SHARP Hear MARCUS GARVEY in His Greatest Speech FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Every day our race is discovering new evidence to bear out and support the stand taken by the Universal Negro Improvement Association during its five years of existence in holding that it is only a question of time when the entire white race will be inflamed against the Negro and all weaker peoples not sufficiently strong and organized to hold their own in the competition of life. The Universal Negro Improvement Association also held that the race problem was not one that was absolutely confined to the United States of America, but that it was only a question of environment that prevented the other great white nations from not treating the Negro as he was being treated in the United States of America. We always held that if we were to place the same number of Negroes in any of the European countries as we have in America, that we would have had the same race problem of hostility, riots, lynching and burnings. We have always held also that it was only a question of time when the Negro economically dependent upon the white man for his exist- ence would be forced to the wall, and that the solution of the problem in the future would not be so much by the "Niggers" Not Wanted, Says Englishman I have before me a copy of the "Daily Graphic," an English newspaper, published in the city of London, England, under date of March 6th, in which is contained an article on what is called by them the "Nigger problem brought to London." The article is so interesting that I am reproducing it for the good of those who have believed in "good old English democracy and fair play," which is going to be the death knell of many British and other Negroes who flatter themselves to believe that the one white man is better than the other when it comes to a question of race prepjudice. Ungrateful English Before presenting the article, however, I desire to state that it is not surprising to us how unreasonable and selfish certain people can make themselves. The English, above everybody else, owe a debt of gratitude to the Negro for nearly all that they possess. Everybody knows that the British has been built up on the blood and wealth of Negroes, especially of Africa and the West Indies. Whilst these "Christian" Britishers are going out to the Colonies robbing and exploiting our people, murdering them for their lands and their wealth, we find that in their home, England, they look upon it as an imposition for Negroes to go into their midst, not to exploit, but to seek employment. This convinces us beyond the shadow of a doubt that as far SHOULD BLACKS TOLERATE DOMINATION OF THEIR COUNTRY, AFRICA; BY ALIEN BRITISH? Negroes Must Unite for Their Own Salvation as the economic, political interest of the Englishman goes, he has no soul. He believes that he alone is entitled to everything that is worth while, and that others have absolutely no claim upon those things that are necessary to life except that which he does not want. Following is the article: NIGGER PROBLEM BROUGHT TO LONDON—BLACKS NOT WANTED IN ENGLAND The all-black cabaret which, staged at the Empire, is to be the great fixture of the Darker London season, will be an black as night. Indeed, Robert Law, the scenic artist, who is to paint a plantation were that niggers can act in front of it, said yesterday that they are even bringing over a black cook! So "Aunt Jemima," of Virginia, the Coal-Black Mammy of all time, will make waffles which, he said, "You could eat for ever and still want more." Black Cabaret I suppose Black and White whisky and black coffee will also be sold at the cabaret—that is, of course, if the black cabaret is ever opened. I print this proviso because Lord Decies, a prominent member of the London County Council, said yesterday, "When I saw the news that nogroes were to act in the cabaret, I thought there must be some mistake. I do not think the license comes up for consideration this afternoon. But, since Sir Percy Simmons, the chairman of the Theatre and Music-Hall Committee, says that, when the license was recommended, he had no idea that black artists were to be employed, there is no doubt that the matter will be referred back. Protest to the L. C. C. Protests against black cabarets were heard in all sorts of places in London yesterday. Naturally, the strongest came from Albert, Vince and Monte Baldy, the chairman and organizer of the Variety Artistes Federation who were so dignant that they immediately sent the Clerk of the London County Council a protest against the license for a cabaret being granted if negro artistes were to be imported to act in it. A copy of this letter was sent, also, to scores of L. C. members. Imported Black "We think it would be a disgrace to both theatrical and music hall, performers if permission were granted to exploit imported black men and women on this way," they said, "while hundreds of talented British artistes are on the verge of want through lack of engagements." "Over 2,000 variety artists are unemployed in England," said Mr. Joyce, and the stories I hear every day of want are heartfounding. When employed, these artistes earn anything from £10 to £100 a week, but so bad is the shortage of money in England, that no fewer than 259 of the smaller money halls which need to employ from four variety arts are now saving money in showing second pictures instead. No Objections to White Americana "We have no objection to American artists coming to England. In four ninety per cent of those who come here join our federation and are welcome. There are also in England negro turns, who behave themselves and keep their place. But we view with the greatest apprehension a character where black artists would actually mix with the white folk at the tables. "There are enough here now without bringing over any more foreign artists which will make our labor market even worse than it is. I did not speak to many managers about the negger problem, because most of them are very cautious when entertainment policy is discussed. But J. A. H. Malone, of Grossmith and Malone, who is an outspoken Australian, said he was offered the all-black revue, "Shuffle Along," eighteen months ago. But he would never dream of bringing black artistes over to England. "I am surprised anybody has thought of it," he said. Film producers won't have negroes in principal parts. In "One Exiting Night," the new Griffith film to be produced at the New Oxford Theatre on Thursday, there is a negro part. So Griffith cast Porter Strong, a white man, for it and make him black his faces. Neggoes do appear in films, but only as waiters or in very minor parts. White actors would not act with them for one reason, and, for ano her there are no negro film actors of ability. They haven't enough intelligence. No white woman film actress would act in a scene where a negro had to touch her, or to make love to her, and, if she did, the film would be too revolting to show. Even the black in "The Loves of Pharaoh," the German show, are really white. Nigger Revues "You are right and I'm with you in your attack on nigger revues," said a big film man. "I hope that any man who tries to foist black revues on the British CARNEGIE HALL, 154 West 57 ESDAY, March AT EIGHT O'CLOCK SHARP GARVEY in His C public, while white artists are on the verge of starvation, will lose his money. He is lowering the standard of entertainment." "The negroes produced one good actor, Hert Williams. But he's dead now." said an American staying at the Savoy Hotel. "He was liked because he knew his place and did not make himself aggressive. I like negroes—as servants and as workers, but not as actors. Why have negro actors when so many white people can act so much better." Spirit of Hate Revealed The above article reveals the spirit of hate on the part of the Englishman for the Negro in his country. Nevertheless, this same Englishman expects the Negro to exhibit an overabundance of love and obedience to him in his (the Negro's) country. These twentieth-century white men are indeed crazy when they believe that they can speak and publish such things as above quoted and expect that self-respecting and ambitious Negroes are going to stand for it without a murmur. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cede to the white man the right of doing as he pleases in his country, and that is why we believe in not making any trouble when he says that "America is a white man's country," because in the same breath and with the same determination we are going to make Africa a black man's country. The appeal to Christian love is a farce, and the white man, especially the Englishman, preaches it only to suit his own conveniences. In the tropics, when he wants to rob our wealth; mineral and agricultural, he brings us a Bible and a hymn book, and tells us how much he loves us and that we are all children of one common Father, and points us to the hope of a glorious day when all of us will meet around the throne of heaven; but when we meet him on his own soil, he tells us a different tale, even as is being told in the article herein mentioned. After he has robbed our diamond mines and stripped Africa of part of its wealth and taken it all to England, they come to tell us that the black man is not wanted there, even as we are being told in America that we are not wanted here. There is but one alternative for ambitious and self-respecting Negroes, and that is to make it warm for all Englishmen, and not only Englishmen, but all aliens in Africa, so that in the days to come when the line of demarcation between black and white will be more ferociously drawn in countries of whites, we will have a haven of refuge—the land of our fathers. More and more, as we have said, we are getting evidence of the merit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in advocating the program of racial nationality. We may not hope to make good in the future either in the music halls of London or the theatres or opera houses of Paris in competition with white artists, but we may look forward by our own effort to the day when we will entertain ourselves in our own theatres, music halls and opera houses in our Homeland Africa. More and more we see the need of supporting the Universal Negro Improvement Association financially and morally for the prosecution of its program. Let everybody make an effort during this week to send a donation to the Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, to help in carrying on the work. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be P. S. The Parent Body again makes its appeal to the Divisions, Chapters and Branches and members at large for their immediate financial support in helping to carry on the work entrusted to us, for 1923. Again all Divisions and members must realize that the Parent Body has no other support than that which comes by monthly reports from Divisions, hence all members should see to it that their Divisions make their regular monthly reports to the Parent Body to enable us to continue th good work. The very best service a member can render the organization is to see that his or her Division is kept financial with the Parent Body. Please send in your 1923 Assessment Tax immediately. No member is regarded as financial without paying this Tax. M. G.

LIBERTY HALL. New York. Sunday Night; March 23. 1923.—Ideal weather prevailing today, the members, friends and sympathizers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association turned out in large numbers and packed Liberty Hall almost to the doors. The usual manifestation of interest and enthusiasm for the cause was in evidence, despite the fact that the leading spirit of the organization, Hon. Marcus Garvey, was absent, visiting other divisions in different parts of the country, but his bust, placed in a conspicuous position on the rostrum, seemed to stand forth as his silent messenger conveying the inspiration to the vast audience which he himself would have imparted if he were present—an inspiration that has been the means of bringing into the folds BEAUTIFUL HAIR IN A MOMENT Try This!

CASCAR For Constipated Bow The nicest catheter-laxative to of the association the millions that now comprise its membership in different parts of the world, and whose hearts beat unison for an organization that has caused the world to look upon the Negro with a different perspective and caused the Negro to place a higher estimate upon himself, believing in his own innate powers to accomplish what other races have accomplished in the way of government by building up on the continent of Africa a government of Negroes, by Negroes and for Negroes that will challenge the admiration and respect of the world and afford protection to every member of the race in the nethermost parts of the world. "The Second Vice President and Titular Leader of American Negroes, Hon William L. Sherrell, took the chair in the President General's absence and with his usual eloquence and fervid oratory stirred the gathering with a remarkable speech on the subject of "The Race" Question in America." The Futility of Education (?) The Fulfillment of EDUCATION (1) After showing from different phases the existence of the race problem in America, the causes which have produced it and the growing intensity of the problem, Mr. Sherriill pointed out the futility of some of the means which have been suggested as a solution of the problem. Some have declared, said he, that education will solve the problem; that when the Negro has become educated and refined and cultured you will see the race problem disappearing. But, said Mr. Sherriill, we have educated Negroes, until we have about three-million students in the various being instructed by more than 200,000 Negro teachers, and yet we find the race question, instead of lightening, getting heavier upon the shoulders of the black man. Some have said, teach the Negro how to use his hands efficiently and when the Negro becomes efficient industrially then the white man will be disposed to accept him and respect him and listen when he speaks. But, said Mr. Sherrell, Booker Washington wore out his life educating Negroes, until today we have two institutions in this country, together with lots of other minor institutions, which are engaged in the specific work of educating Negroes industrially, but, through the introduction and machinations of white labor unions, we and all over the country capable Negro men skilled in the various fields of industry and in mechanical arts, barred from certain places of work and compelled to work as cooks and waiters and at various other jobs when he is fully capable of taking his place in the industry of the country. Some said the Negro should get financial strength by building his own commercial institutions, but, said Mr. Sherrell, this is a white man's country, and the white man in America will not pay the Negro to develop a large financial strength that will then attain his (the white man's) strength. He further proved the futility of the suggestion of politics as a remedy for the race problem, and then declared that the N. L. A. is an organization that has come forward to answer the question. VIRGIN ISLANDERS OF NEW YORK SEND RADIOGRAM TO SECRETARY OF THE NAVY DENBY says: "Black man, you are not going to solve your problem here in America until you join hands with the West Indian Negro and the Negro of Central and South America, and with the African Negro; roll, up your sleeves and go into Africa, cut down her trees as you have, cut down the trees of America; bridge her streams as you have bridged the streams of America; tunnel her mountains as you have tunneled the mountains of America; lay down your lives, for her flag as you have laid down your lives for the Stars and Strikes, and establish a mighty government second to none in the world," The U. N. L. A., he concluded, was the organization that was instilling pride in the hearts of Negroes and giving the younger generations the same aspirations that other races have. "Our efforts," he said, "will be browened with success, for God. Almighty has looked down upon this movement; He lean favor of this movement, and, even though the leaders fall, God. Himself will carry us on to victory." Carnesie Hall, Marsh 27 Carnagie Hall, March 27 The other speakers were Hon. R. L. Poston, Capt. C. E. Gaines and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis. The usual announcements were made, the most important being the big meeting to be held at Carnagie Hall on Tuesday, March 27, at which Hon. Marcus Carry will deliver one of his greatest species expounding the principles of the association. Fellowing are the speeches: HON. R. L. POSTON SPEAKS Hon. R. L. Poston spoke as follows: There are some Negroes who are ashamed of the race to which you and I belong, and I think it is about time that we got ashamed of them. There are really a class of Negroes who think that, like alifalfa, we must be sown among the white race to grow. This question is becoming a serious question with me and it ought to be a serious question with forward-thinking Negroes through out the world. Whether we can live independently as a great race, whether we can preserve our racial identity and yet achieve something for you to think about if we are to advance in this country as a race; if we are to redeem our motherland, Africa. Negroes Ashamed of Their Race I had an experience ten years ago when I was going from Washington, D.C. to Boston, Mass. There was with me a young man—a friend of mine—of very light complexion—so light you could hardly take him to be a colored man; but at that time he thought just as I thought; he was imbued with the same racial feeling that I was imbued with; he was burning with the desire to do something to help this face of ours. We went into a restaurant there and it happened that the proprietor of this restaurant of people what prejudiced and when my friend was down he did not serve me. I had expected to see my friend get up and come out of the restaurant, because he had always thought on these matters just as I thought; but instead of coming out of the restaurant he remained and at his meal and then came out, and he said to me: "I have an idea, what is the need of my being colored? What is the need of my suffering all of this segregation and proscription when I don't have to do it; I can be a white man and I think it best to be." And he asked me what I thought about it. I was surprised at the statement coming from my friend; he meant that he was ready to pass on over. I said to him: "I presume you realize just what you are saying; I presume you should realize the great denial you are making" adding "The man who adduced your mother The Virgin Islanders of New York city, and visibility, who have prepared one forwarded a summary (published elsewhere in these columns) of their case against navalism to the Congress of the United States, are determined to carry on their light in the court of public opinion until they secure the needed relief. For several years dissatisfaction has been smoldering in their hearts. They keenly feel the present situation. Britain is a monarchy, not a republic; yet the black dependents of Britain in the West Indies receive better treatment at the hands of their sons than the Virgin Islanders receive from the autocratic underlings of the Navy Department, and Virgin Islanders want to know the reason for the difference. One of the outstanding explanations is supported by American experience elsewhere in the Caribbean. It is that the United States of America should never intrust its relations, with any Negro people to Southern white men. Southern white men notoriously hate Negroes, despise and detest them and always seize every opportunity to harass, humiliate and injure them.

If you pass over, you know that if that mother came to visit you in Boston you must deny her, and what are you going to do? That was my answer—"if you wish to go over, go ahead and God bless you; goodbye," and I shook the dust off my feet from that day so far as he was concerned. The Pride of Blood I am here to tell you tonight that there are hundreds of thousands of that kind in this country and in other places that the strong hand of justice must be raised against. No matter what percentage of Negro blood is in the veins of a man, I think he has a right to be proud of that blood. Those who make up this association, no matter what their complexions may be, no matter how light or dark, they are proud of the blood of Ethiopia in their veins. Those who are ashamed of their black blood are ashamed of all the accomplishments of history—that blood that gave to the world music. Most of the things worth while come out of Ethiopia, and the man who would look with scorn upon that blood ought to be dead. (Applause.) We are a great people. That His Excellency, Marcus Garvey, has been saying from this rostrum and from hundreds of others throughout the country. You must learn your history of the past in order that you may bring back the glories of ancient Ethiopia; but there are a great many of us who are helping the system that would degrade us; and in all seriousness and in all sincerity I want to ask you to quit it. Don't you know when you go too far with the paint brush you cater to that system? What is the idea of so much straight hair? They say everybody is doing it and it makes you look pretty, but every time you do it you are making it mighty hard for us who would like to teach the youncer generation that God made no mistake when he brought them into being. I wish another Madame Walker would come upon the scene, and I wish this Madame Walker would discover some new way of kinking the hair beautiful. In all seriousness, if you are to help us put over this program you are going to have to seriously consider these things; you are going to have to find your ideal of beauty within the grace. LADY DAVIS SPEAKS Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis was the next speaker, and said, the enemies also at work resisting the universal Negro Improvement Association. The emissaries are busy among our people and especially among the members of the New York local, trying to divide them, but we say to all enemies "United we stand, and divided we fall." Let us not be running both ways; it is impossible for human beings to do that; you have either got to go one way or the other; you are either for us or against us. "I am telling the New York local," she said, "the enemy who, with dulcet tones, tries to disintegrate your mind. This is the time of all times in the movement Association when we should stand united." "Very recently, she had read of a belated tribute to a teacher. This man was writing of a teacher whom he had forgotten and what history of the Universal Negro Im- the government of the United States is aware of this, it should seem the part of plain common sense to keep Southern white men away from any new group of Negroes unacustomed to being treated like the slaves of Dixie Unless, indeed, the government's best intentions toward these Negroes are far from beneficial, a conclusion which must rest on the evidence of its acts. As we said before, the Virgin Islanders on the mainland are prepared to carry on the fight for a square deal for their brethren at home. For more than a year the fight has waxed warm and as it increases in intensity the patriots, throw themselves into it in larger and larger numbers. The Virgin Islands Congressional Council, which is leading the fight, finds its hall packed to overflowing every Sunday, so that there isn't even standing room inside. This organization is drawing the other and older groups of islanders into confraternal bonds and showing them by example how to sink individual selfishness in the larger claims of the people. Recently they have prepared for joint transmission to Mr. Denby, the Secretary of the Navy, who is now on tour in the Caribbean and who is expected in the Virgin Islands early in April, the following radiogram: Secretary of the Navy Denby. "U. S. S. Henderson, at Sea. "Urge you investigate thoroughly one of Morenga Bonaparte deportation and other deportations while in Virgin Islands. Widespread belief here activities of Naval, Governor, and of Lieutenant Gaffney in particular, unnecessary, oppressive, un-American and dishonorable to administration and navy. Cap you not do something about it? Virgin Islands Civil Rights Association. "Virgin Islands, Congressional Council, "Virgin Islanders Collectively." It is hoped that the Secretary of the Navy may be accessible to the larger responsibilities of imperial rule and give such consolidation as the present situation warrants by the plea of the Virgin Islanders for a chance to save the government of the United States.

"I think of the 6,000,000 Negroes belonging to the Universal Negro Improvement. Association as teachers; and I think of that greatest of all teachers among us, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) He has taught the Negro people of the world a high ideal, he has taught manhood and womanhood; he has taught loyalty and fidelity to a principle; he has taught the Negro to hope for Africa and so we should never forget that teacher, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are to teach the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world the lesson that has been taught to them by the Hon. Marcus Garvey. So let us pass along this lesson until all of the 400,000,000 Negroes shall have learned it and learned it well. Let us not pause; let us not falter until we have accomplished the hope of the Negro people of the world—a free and redemosed Africa." CAPT. GAINES SPEAKS Capt. Gaines made an earnest- and forceful appeal for steadfastness in upholding the principles' of and supporting the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It seems, said he, that the majority of Negroes not in the United States, but in New York, have become used to the things in the association, and the association has become used to them, and it seems now that they are tired and want to stop; but, he added, there is nothing in this world, there is no power in this world that can give you the freedom—the physical freedom that the Universal Negro Improvement Association can. The association is going to be brought to the place in New York all over this country where we shall produce a hundredfold the year round; it can be done and the Negroes of this city must set the pace for the Negroes of the world, and if this division did not produce a hundredfold there are other divisions in the United States that are coming along and eventually take your place. As the New York division is the mother of the organization and it sets the pace for the other organizations and have given the ABC to the other organizations of the world, it is an imposition on the true and tried members of this division for you to lie down on them. "I want you to understand," he ejaculated, "that that organization is here to stay and that no power on this side of heaven or hell shall stop the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause). We do not care anything about the opposition to this organization; we can not help from what source it comes, the association in here to stay, and if every member of the Executive Council were to disdontight the association would go on just the same as though we had never been born, because the association is giving birth to new executive officers every day in New York City and all over the world. The Universal Negro Improvement Association shall not die because we so determined when we put our hands on the Bible and swore to the Omnipotent God that we would stand by the organization. This organization is an organization where a principle is at stake—where the welfare of our children and children's children is at stake." Further on Cape, Galilee, and there was no use of Negev talking politics and believing that it will help them, for this is a white man's country. The judges are white; the jurors are white; the Ku Klux Klan is white, and how in the name of God did we expect to get anything when the country is white. The thing to do is to join with the Universal Negro Improvement Association in building up a home in Africa, which will protect us and demand for us our rights in all parts of the world. Hon. William Sherrill Speaks Hon. William L. Sherrill spoke on the subject, "The American Race Question." An years come and years go this vexed question forces itself upon the American people, white as well as black, to such a degree and extent that, say, or think what we will or may, the rapid growth of the Negro economically and educationally is demanding a solution of the question which works with more rapidity than the slow and disgrateful process of miscegenation. Before I proceed further it might be expedient for us to find out whether there is in America a race question. In There a Race Question. Is there a Race Question in America? There are some among us who say there is no race question in America. They say it is not a question of race or color; it is not a question of whether a man is white or black; they say it is only a question of his educational qualification or of his economic condition. They say that when the Negro becomes educated, refined and cultured and when the Negro has got hold of wealth there will be in America no race question. I do not think I need to take very much time to answer that. I do not think it requires very much logic Coughs, Colds, Catarrh Are among the emergencies for which Dr. Hartman's remedy has, for more than half a century, proved its reliability.

Principal. be prove to those of us who are wide awake that there is a race question, and it is a question of whether you are black or white. You have only to take a trip through the Southland; you have only to see the silly jincarow car set apart for you; you have only to hear the yelp of bloodhounds on the trail of innocent Negroes; you have only to read of the lynchings. You do not have to go that far; you have only to walk around New York city and keep your eyes open and see the cultured Negro men and women who have passed through some of the best schools and colleges of the country being barred from certain public places and not being admitted into certain factories and corporations, not because they are inefficient but simply because God saw it to make them members of the Negro race. And when you see these things you will not only conclude that it is a question of race, but that it is a question that is growing more potent and graver each day. Then we have another group that says, "Yes, there is in America a race question," but they say there is no need of Negroes wearing out their lives and spending their money and time trying to solve this question. They say that as long as Negroes remain Negroes, and as long as whites remain whites there is going to be a certain status set apart for Negroes different from that set apart for whites. They say that the problem cannot be solved and consequently they go about their daily tasks giving, but little consideration to the race question, for to them all efforts seem in vain. But the race problem in America can be solved and Negroes will live in America, retaining their racial identity, side by side with the white man, if black men go at the solution in the right way. The Race Problem Can Be Solved The race problem, will be solved for the Negro in America just as the race problem is solved for the Jas in America and Just as it is solved for all other people who travel in foreign lands or live under Foreign flags or become citizens of foreign countries, when the black man has gone to the bottom and done what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is constantly preaching that the Negro should do—establish for himself an autonomy of his own that will be strong enough and powerful enough, to protect him in America as well as the republic that he establishes. The race problem will be solved and black men will be able to live as comfortably in Georgia or Alabama or Mississippi as they will be able to live on the banks of the Nile or in the valley of the Congo. Then there is another group among us who seem to be a bit indifferent to this extent; they do not know whether or not the race problem can LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTES It's washed be solved, but they are, simply, tired of hearing so much talk about this problem. We have got a class of people among us who do not read any race literature; they will tell you "I do not read the Chicago Defender or the Negro World or The Crisis, because I am tired of hearing so much talk about the race problem; I am tired of hearing Negroes forever and eternally talking about suffering and segregation and humiliation of this race; why don't Negroes talk on subjects more philosophical, subjects more elevating, subjects more pleasing, instead of forever and eternally talking and preaching and singing and orating and painting about the sufferings of their race?" With that class I sympathize, for I, too, am tired of hearing so much talk about the race problem. The talking of the suffering and the burdens of my race is not music to my ears. Negro editors are tired of writing, editorialists; Negro painters are tired of painting pictures; Negro musicians are based of composing songs; Negro preachers are tired of preaching sermons on the sufferings and cruelties meted out to their race. I would rather talk to you tonight on the glories of American democracy instead of the shame. I would rather speak to you tonight on the joys of being a black American citizen instead of the sorrows; I would rather speak to you tonight on the advantages awarded Negroes in American democracy instead of the disadvantages. Negro-orators would rather speak on another subject; Negro preachers would rather preach from other themes; Negro painters would rather paint other pictures, but, knowing as they do the sufferings of their race, knowing as they do the status of the black man in America; knowing as they do what black mothers undergo day in and day out and what black fathers bear, they cannot hold their peace; they must speak, for if we of this generation fail to speak— In an open letter to the United States Congress on behalf of the Negro inhabitants of the Virgin Islands of the United States, the V. I. Congressional Council of New York, Casper Holstein president, reviews the whole situation, past and present, of the Negro in the V. I. The letter follows: "Gentlemen of the Congress—Honorable Senators and Representatives: "We, the people of your recently acquired colony, beg to lay before you, in accordance with the provisions of your own Constitution, our complaints and grievances, to the end that in your own interest you may take steps either to remove such of these grievances as shall have been established, or to convince your petitioners and loyal subjects that they have only an imaginary existence. "In the first place, we invite your attention to a curious anomaly. We do not know whether any portion of the people of a republic can very well be subjects; but we do know that the form of American government which we now have in the Virgin Islands does not exist anywhere else in the United States. Its like is to be found only in Haiti or Santo Domingo, as it was to be found some years ago in those parts of the Philippine Islands which were in a state of military insurrection against the United States. But we have never been in insurrection against the United States; we were peacefully and peacefully acquired by treaty of safe negotiation between the government of Pommel and that of the United States, and ratified by your honorable body. It should seem then that by the transfer we should have become Snow-can citizens. But American citizens are those who enjoy the rights and privileges defined by the United States Constitution on a new basis in American citizenship. And it should be known by you that you only do we not enjoy THAT EVERYBODY MUST READ Off the Press Next Week NOW TO SECURE YOUR COPY THEOSophy AND Opinions OF "ARCUS.

The American people have had at their head many able, great and good men, like Washington, Jackson Lincoln and Roosevelt. But they have withheld from all of them the right to combine in their own power persons at one time, executive, legislative and judicial powers. This right, which by the Constitution is denied to the President of the United States, is the chief distinguishing feature of the Governor of the Virgin Islands, who is a captain in the department of the Navy. He exercises these combined powers in such a way that he is directly responsible not to the people of the Virgin Islands, not even to your august body—but to the Navy department. His aides and the larger portion of the personnel of his government are subordinate officials of that department. We submit that American citizens are not in any other case ruled in this autocratic manner, or by the Navy Department in any manner, and we naturally feel civic bewilderment and political uncertainty as to our status. Are we American citizens or American subjects? The officials of the Navy Department have answered by wary and deed that we are the latter. We denur to this and feel that we are entitled to an authoritative decision by the Congress of the United States until which time we remain more subjects, suffering from the same civil disabilities as the subjects of Europe's kings and Asias emperors, a status not at all creditable to the democratic integrity of the republic which rules our destinies. Muzzling the Native Press "2. The people of these islands have been told over the signatures of Mr. Washington Williams, the vice-governor de facto, and Mr. J. J. Gaffney Dissertation on Man Race Association The function of Man Fathers that the constitutional guarantee of free speech and free press do not apply to them, and in accordance with this rather sterling view of American government they have already effected several executive deportations from the islands and have established a reign of senor among these native editors who have published their protests against executive and judicial excesses. Under this head, we invite your attention specifically to the deportation of the Rev. Baarrow by Governor Kittell; the deportation of Mr. F. H. Morenga-Bonaparte by Governor Hough; the harassing of Mr. D. Hamilton Jackson, editor of 'The Herald' of Christiansted In. St. Croix, and Mr. Rothschild Francis, editor of 'The Emancipator'; of Charlotte Amalia in St. Thomas; and we refer your honor to body to an article in 'The Nation' of March 7, 1923, entitled 'Bayonet Rules for Our Colonial Press,' by Arthur Warner, 'The Nation's special correspondent in the Caribbean,' which article contains a dependable, presentation of some instructive facts bearing on this point. The Right of Suffrage "3. We are denied the right of manhood suffrage because American officials, paid from the taxes of the American people, are administering the laws of a foreign country, to wit: Denmark—a situation which cannot be paralleled on the earth today. And it is a metorious fact that whereas the 18th Amendment is rigidly enforced by the offences of the Navy Department as against the natives, the 14th, 15th and 16th (2) receive no recognition from them. "4. As a consequence we are denied the right to even a voice in the selection of those who administer our affairs and are at present pligned with an excessive number of place-hunting holders of superfluous structures whose elimination would be a decided economic gain to the taxpayers of the United States. We could easily cite many more specific grievances, but, we believe that those already cited will suffice because of these things, we respectfully urge Citizens or Subjects "That the Congress of the United States resume its organic prerogative to legislate for the better government of the Virgin Islands; that you make it clear whether they are a portion of the United States or a subject nation; that your honorable body abolishes government by the Navy Department and give us instead that civil government which alone benefits a civil status. "That you look into the economic conditions of the islands, which are appalling. Labor acts two days work a week at 55 cents a day, while grim hunger takes its toll of the children of the poor. Even on no higher ground that the gospel of Mormon, the present economic state of these islands must be depended on as an oppalling and senseless wedge of wealth and of wealth-producing powers. That your honorable body give to the people of these islands enough of your official attention as will enable you to discover that the population is self-respecting, law-abiding, and industrious, whereby you may be led to grieve them to your soul with the steel bonds of patriotic affection by giving them the choice to feel proud of being.

Remarkable changes are taking place in Liberia's relations with her West African neighbors and with the governments of Europe and America. It is exactly one hundred years since the first colored settlers effected a banding at Cape Montserrado. Later, under the leadership of Ashmun, these American Negroes conquered the surrounding territory and established upon the cape the town which was destined to be the nucleus of the republic. It is seventy-five years since the constitution was formed, upon the model of the United States laws. Yet the condition of Liberia at the end of 1922 was quite pitiable. No roads, no telegraphs, no sound system of either police or army; and poverty everywhere, except in those favored quarters where "officials" were fattening upon the body politic. Inside two decades the native population has been decreased by half. Everywhere reigned depression and pessimism. The collapse of the proposed American loan of five million dollars meant to rehabilitate the finances of the republic seemed to many gliderians to be the last straw. Washington had shown by its refusal to help the republic that it distracted the government. The opinion grew in favor that there must be something far more rotten "in the state of Denmark," than its average citizen knew. And thus the government of Mr. King, mangled with so much blaring of trumpets three years ago, seemed tottering to it fall. A people's party was formed. Its program was to work the government on more business-like lines and to encourage white capital to more copetitable laws. Mr. Samuel G. Harmon was appointed as President elect. This party alone, in violent opposition to the "all's well with the Republic" Whig party, seemed to promise the dawn. Stuart:Young's Pamphlet Stuart-Young's Pamphlet Then a Brütters, resident at Grand Elysse, stepped into the breach. Wart the approval of Mr. Harmon and his parity, he wrote a pamphlet constructive criticism, giving the white man's point of view of a square deal. The we Mr. J. M. Stuart-Young, a "rooster" of over twenty years' experience and the author of several West African books. His fearless review of the position was most bitterly recounted by the existing government. The average Liberian, averse to labor on the soil—cultivating only the "gentlemanly" and para professions of orator, illiter and man of leisure—deemed it an unwarranted impristinence that a more white man should instruct a Negro community in the ways of government. The "Tree" Negro made the law. The white man must submit to them, no matter how ignorant and retrogressive they might be. So Mr. Smart Young was threatened with deportation. But he firmly stood this ground. As a man of letters and a free lawyer journalist, he declared in might to tell the truth, no matter not butter such facts might prove on the palates of the privileged officer Negro elites. In some population M. King called together in Sections 10. The President received from the People's Party had the bulk of control of the construction of weight down the resulting its favor in lieu to two law were passed. The interest was given upon to commemorate and ephemera within a period of forty miles, thus allowing of one new two mosques, so that it had become obtained. I note that system no white man had been allowed to travel without a government permit, and all control that was placed on them cannot be at the liberty of possession or minima one of other, which may be be supervised or controlled on the matter of stocks. New construction laws were also passed whereby our society might have fuller scope in tool of ending between the native and the missionaries, the government now pledged itself to help them together. It promised further support of the indigenous population and its voted fund for the extension of roads. The Coming Election Mr. Stuart Young, an conversion pioneer on the outside staff had been most sleeping. He proved that a man's department Liberia was stinging her central welfare by a policy of individualism. He indicted her geographical obsession toward her neighbors, Britain on the north, France on the south. Where at the centre West African colonies, British, French, Portuguese, Belgian and Spanish were earnest on their campaign against the insidious ignorance. Liberia was permitting trade giv and trade run within her border at the rudely low rate of six shillings per gallon import duty. This was changed without any demur. Other radical improvements and all more or less in accordance with the interpolated British's suggestions—were effected. Exports were made easier. The farmers were hopeful to be encouraged to larger and better production. Whether this "eleventh hour repentance" on the part of Mr. King's administration will save it from downfall in the coming election (May, 1923) remains yet to be seen. Meanwhile, Mr. Harmon's upholders are already well satisfied with what has been achieved. In the name of the increasing People's Party, Mr. Stuart-Young has been sincerely thanked for his services to the republic. It is recognized that his actions were altruistic and that he meant only, good toward the Negro race. Thus it is that the man who plays a leading part in evolving the program of a government is generally "behind the throne." He may be an unknown quan- Do a million little devils stick pin in you all day and night?

Liberia is now pacing through this tumultuous phase. Her development, after a century of patient waiting, seems to be inevitable. She ought quickly to undo the evil "tassier aller" policy of her past and come into line with the progressive West African colonies around her, which enjoy European rule.

Young people, clad in new garments, dressed in the height of fashion, will promenade the boulevards. Crowds will wand their way to the various churches to hear gowned and surpliced choirs sing entrancing music and to hear divines discourse as to whether the resurrection of Christ was a physical or spiritual manifestation to His disciples, and to argue for the immortality of the soul by showing that God must have had some purpose in creating the universe and man and that He would not call into existence a personality with the rational, aesthetical and ethical possibilities of man only to destroy him as he began to unfold as a spiritual being. Soerates and Plato speculated regarding the immortality of the soul, but it was Jesus of Nazareth, whose death on the cross caused the hope of immortality to be a dominant thought in the cultural history of man and a potent factor in the evolution of man in history. And it is fitting that the Easter festival should be celebrated in spring, when nature is renewing her life and unfolding in leaf, foliage and flower and putting on that robe of beauty which has ever delighted the eye of man. On Palm Sunday morning we strolled along Whalley avenue, New Haven, Conn. We passed by many beautiful residences, some constructed of wood, others of brick and others of stone, one-fourth of the houses having a driveway and a garage. These were not the homes of the rich, but of the prosperous, of people having an income of from $3,000 to $20,000 a year. Suddenly at Ellsworth avenue we came across a large and imposing stone church of Gothic style of architecture which was in process of construction and nearly completed. The cross on the front and the two crosses on the sides in the rear indicated that the church was either an Episcopal or Catholic one. Adjoining the church to the north was a very large estate, culminating in a hill, which was crowned by a white house built in colonial style. The erection of the church indicated two things. It indicated first that increased prosperity and the increased facilities of the electric car and the automobile caused hundreds of persons to move from the heart of the city to the outskirts. It indicated, secondly, that the living in large, well-furnished homes and the riding in auto cars had not destroyed their interest in the deathless hopes of the human soul, in the mighty hopes, which make us men. A group of people do not expend a quarter of a million or half a million dollars in erecting a house of stone in which to worship their Maker unless their religion means something to them. What Is Religion? empt a dissertation upon the test the resurrection of Jo- l arguments for and again That would exhaust the handled in a satisfac- ll briefly touch upon rela- tions We will not attempt a dissertation upon the theological arguments for and against the resurrection of Jesus the Christ, or upon the metaphysical arguments for and against the immortality of the human soul. That would exhaust the compass of a small book and could not be handled in a satisfactory manner in an editorial. But we will briefly touch upon religion as a psychological fact, upon religion as a fact of human nature, which is as real in the spiritual world as the law of gravitation is in the physical world. John W. Draper in his "History of Intellectual Development" and in his "Conflict of Science with Religion" speaks of modern science as being compelled to force its way through the stultest opposition of religion. But Andrew D. White in his "Warfare of Science with Theology" showed that theology, rather than religion, was the fore and arche enemy of science. There is no necessary conflict between religion and science, because they deal with different themes. Science deals with the laws, forces and properties of matter, religion with the experience of the human soul. The consciousness of guilt, the relief at being enamcipated from the blageage of sin, the thoughts and emotions which nature and music arouse in one, the belief in the rationality of the universe, the meaning of existence, and the significance of human life, the belief in an immanent God and the belief in the immortality of the human soul are the stuff and raw material out of which the religions of the world have been formed and shaped. Religion is a spiritual fact, a spiritual experience. Theology is the intellectual interpretation and explanation of that fact in terms of the prevailing philosophy. Theologians have been outgrown and discarded like old clothes, but the stream of religion has flowed on with the irresistible sweep of a tidal wave, bearing on its bosom the hopes of humanity. When we first listened to the lectures of Dr. George Trumbull Ladd on the ontological, cosmological and teleological argument for God, when we first waded through the fifteen hundred pages of Lotze's Microcosmus and saw how he endavored to harmonize the idealistic and mechanical conceptions of the universe, we were not so much impressed with the keen analysis of these thinkers as we were with the fact that here were two men, one a German, the other a descendant of the Pilgrims who sailed over in the Mayflower, whose supreme interest in life is to inquire about man's relation to the universe which brought him into existence and which environed him. Let us consider for a moment the life of man. For seven, eight or nine hours he expends his physical and mental energies and exercises his brain, will and muscles in doing some work or running some business by which he can earn enough money to properly feed. clothe and shelter himself and family, provide them with the comforts and luxuries of life and lay by something for a rainy day. Then, after he has left the office, shop or factory, what does he do? Sometimes he feels the need of recreation or relaxation and goes to a game of cards, a musical concert, a theatre or an athletic contest. Sometimes he spends his leisure in pulling wires to advance himself politically or his family socially. But he also desires to know what is going on in the world at present and what went on in the world during the days past and gone. He is driven by an intellectual interest, by a scientific curiosity. For this reason he will read the daily newspapers, the weekly and monthly magazines and books. He reads with avidity a speech of David Lloyd George, about Einstein's relativity and King Tut-ankh: Amen of Egypt. But after he has provided for the physical needs of his family, satisfied his political ambitions, the social ambitions of his wife and the intellectual curiosity which impels him to know the world in which he lives and the past history of man on this planet, he is not wholly satisfied. He has an imagination and moral, aesthetic and spiritual sentiments which crave expression. And he builds up his ideal world—his world of art, music, religion and poetry. He endeavors to satisfy his conscience, the voice of God, the moral monitor within, and the urge of the higher self. The development of the human personality and realizing certain ideals of manhood appeal powerfully to him. Finally, he craves for communion with the Supernatural Presence and with the Supreme Reality who manifests Himself in this finite world. And man's real life is not regarded as consisting of eating and drinking and indulging the senses, but in exercising the rational, ethical, aesthetic and spiritual capacities, qualities and attributes which differentiate him from the beast of the field. Thus we see that man is something more than a mere creature of the dust and that he looks up to the stars and feels his kinship with the Divine. NATURE A CHAOS OR COSMOS Bertrand Russell, on pages 60 and 61 of "Philosophical Essays," volume II, under the sub-title "The Free Man's Worship," says: "That man is the product of causes which have no precision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collorations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve an individual life beyond the grave; that all the labors of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system, and that the whole temple of man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins—all these things, if not quite beyond dispute, are yet so nearly certain that no philosophy which rejects them can hope to stand. Only within the scaffolding of these truths, only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair, can the soul's habitations henceforth be safely built." This is atheism stated boldly and frankly, not only a denial of God and immortality, but a denial of the rationality of the universe, a denial of the meaning and purpose of existence and of the significance of personality. Bertfand Russell may be a philosopher, sociologist and litterateur, but he is no psychologist. Were he a psychologist he would ask, "What was the urge, the impelling force, which would not permit me to waste my youth in riotous living, but forced me to go out and explore the domains of human knowledge? And when I did begin to study, why did I not confine my studies to business and political economy, which would increase my bread-and-butter activities instead of venturing into the ideal realms of philosophy and mathematics and writing; on 'The Problems of Philosophy?' If I am a stranger in an alien, godless verse; if I am an accidental, transient and ephemeral by-product of physico-chemical and biological forces, why am I Nature's rebellious child with soaring and illimitable and unattainable ideals as the deepest law of my being, the supreme fact of my existence?" These questions would cause Bertrand Russell to pause before announcing his belief in a chaos, without any purpose or meaning. But we believe that Anaxagoras, who twenty-four centuries ago said that different atoms could not get together and build up a universe unless some Nous, some Mind, were directing them: that Kepler, who when he unravelled the laws of planetary motion which governed the movements of Halley's comet, and saw that the trigonometry of his mind corresponded with the trigonometry of the solar system, joyfully exclaimed, "O God, I think Thy thoughts after Thee!" and that Lotze, Paulsen, Watson, Otto, Ladd and Royce, who found it difficult to believe that a universe which is a cosmos and not a chaos is the product of the blind play of atoms or chance course of electrons, but believed rather, that in discovering mathematical principles and scientific laws, they were interpreting the Divine Mind in terms of the human mind, gave a truer reading of the universe. Voltaire, Hume, Gibbon, Strauss, Huxley, Haeckel, Frederic Harrison, Santayana, Bertrand Russell and other thinkers who doubted God and immortality have had their say. But people still build costly churches and throng them on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. There is something in man which rises in an eternal protest against the negative philosophy of Russell and persists in the belief in the rationality of the universe, persists in the belief in the meaning of existence, persists in the belief that the struggle and striving of man is worth while and that his quest of the ideal is not a voyage that will end with the grave. WILLIAM H. FERRIS. CIVIC STATUS IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS It is decidedly in the interest of justice for the United States Congress to consider the Open Letter sent it by the Virgin Islands Congressional Council, of which Cooper Holstein is president. Also, it would be well for Mr. Denby to examine the circumstances surrounding the outrageous deportations being engineered by the Naval Administration, as in the case of Morenga-Bonaparte. Uncle Sam's record in the Virgin Islands is a disgrace to democracy. No wonder Jamaica, held by its throat in a visse-like grip by John Bull, cries out against United States annexation. This phase of our machinery of government is the most chaotic. Our colonial administrators, like most of our consuls, are petty and provincial illicitians not in sympathy with the yearnings and aspirations of dark subject peoples. In the Virgin Islands, to quote the Open Letter, there exists a "curious anomaly": "We do not know whether any portion of the people of a republic can very well be subjects, but we do know that the form of American government which we now have in the Virgin Islands does not exist anywhere else in the United States. Its like is to be found only in Haiti or Santo Domingo, as it was to be found some years ago in those parts of the Philippine Islands which were in a state of military insurrection against the United States. But we have never been in insurrection against the United States; we were peacefully acquired by treaty, of sale negotiated between the government of Denmark and that of the United States and ratified by your honorable body. It should seem, then, that by the transfer we should have become American citizens. But American citizens are those who enjoy the rights and privileges defined in the United States Constitution as pertaining to American citizenship. And it should be known to you that not only do we not enjoy these rights and privileges at the Virgin Islands, but they have been explicitly denied to us." Of the problems facing the folk led by that noble non-compromiser of rights, D. Hamilton, Jackson, the civil status of the Virgin Islands is the chief and most pressing, and ought to be distressed with at once. WAS KING TUTANKHAMEN A NEGRO? The Boston Globe Reprints Photograph of the Reddish Granite Movement in the Museum at Cairo, Reproduced in Caport's "L'Art Egyptien," Which Has Full Lips and Nose—Still the Boston Paper Says King Tut Waa Either a White-Skinned or Darker Skinned Caucasian When scientists who discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen produced from its chambers statutes of the Pharaoh himself in which the bodies were done in black, many people jumped to a conclusion that Tut must have been a Negro. Inquiries brought from Luxor the information that the black was due to the use of bitumen as a preservative. The explanation, however, did not put an end to the street corner gossip that Tut was a black man. Now it is likely enough that Egypt was ruled at this period by a non-Egyptian house and that Tut himself probably was of foreign blood and possibly of foreign birth. In a list of Egyptian kings made by Magethos, an Egyptian priest of about 236 B. C., which has been preserved for us by Syneclius of Byzantium and by the bishop-historian, Eusebius (264-349 A.D.), the four kings beginning with Amenhotep IV, who was King Tut's father-in-law, are kept in the form of Asatheic origin. The Greek version is roughly that "the Ethiopians from the Indus River, arising, went and settled in Egypt." There is more than a grain of truth in these ancient records. More and more, as the tombs of Egypt give up their secrets are the once-scoffed-at lists of Manethos coming into their own. We know, regardless of whether any of the Pharaohs were actually "Ethiopians from the Mindus," that the royal Theban line had become Asiatic in its racial complexion through intermarriage with Mitannian princesses. Whither Goest Thou? B. A. JACQUES-GARVEY "I stole these things. For God's sake, send me away where I can get food to eat and a warm place to rest my head. Send me to Atlanta—anywhere," cried a Negro to the police lieutenant at a West Side precinct in New York city, at the same time depositing, two packages on the lieutenant's desk. Bill Jones, formerly of the South, now of nowhere, stood shivering in a suit of homespun tweed, a cap drawn tightly over his head. Surely Shakespeare must have pictured such a man when he pounded these lines. Famine is in thy cheeks. Need and oppression stareth in thy eyes. Contempt and baggery hangeth upon thy back! The world is not thy friend, nor the world's law. But let us heels his tale. It runs thus: "Two years ago I was a care-free and happy young man, working on a farm in Winona, Miss, where I was born. One Sunday night my pal and I, on leaving church, were attacked by a white mob. A white man pointed my pal out as having been seen with a white woman, and we were taken into the woods. My pal was lynched and burned and I was beaten into unconsciousness. "When I regained consciousness I found myself on a train and, a colored man bending over me. He read about a note plined to my coat: 'Nigger, don't set foot back in Mississippi or you'll be a dead man.' "Never mind," said the man. I will help you all I can. He did. He took me to his home in Colorado, Ark., and cared for me. "After I got well I found work; and for more than a year I tried to forget that horrible night. "Passing through the main street of the town one night I saw quite a few colored folks gathered together; some crying, some Talking excitedly. One old woman was on her knees praying aloud. 'What's the matter?' I asked, and someone said: 'Read,' pointing to a notice-stuck up on the outer wall of a little shop: 'Niggers, clear out of town in 24 hours or else you will be as good as dead.' "Not one of our group had expected such a thing. No trouble had ever occurred between the whites and the blacks in that town. Of course, quite a number of whites had come in and Negroes had become more prosperous since the war. I myself had hoped to be able to buy a home and settle down. What now? Stay and be fortured to doubt? A thousand times not! Whither, then? Anywhere. "Next evening found me on a train bound for an Eastern city. Arriving in New York city with a little money I soon found lodgings, after which I set out to find work. I scanned the 'want' columns of the newspapers daily, made several applications for positions, but I was always greeted with the same answers: 'No colored help wanted,' or 'you must have experience.' "One week passed without success and the second week, I tried the employment agencies, but I was, asked for recommendations. Should I have waited in hilderado for recommendations? I tried to explain to an agency Famine is in the checks. Amenhotep IV. Tut's father-in-law was perhaps 80 per cent. Mitannian. Now, then, who were the Mitannians and what had they to do with "Ethiopians from the Indus"? In the first place, they must not be confused with the Negro. Ethiopians from Africa. The Greek term, meaning "burnt faces," was applied to what the Egyptians called the Kushites—inhabitants of the land of Kush. But often no distinction was made between the Kushite Negroes of Nubia and another and totally different people, the Kashites or Kassites, whose domain extended east from Babylonia to the Indus, and whose homeland may have been in the high valleys of the Himalayas, an Aryan-speaking Indo-European people, had swept from the Iranian plateau westward, and in the days of Amenhotep IV had been masters of Babylon for 600 years. Some time after the Kassite capture of Babylon another closely allied Aryan group forced its way to the upper waters of the Euphrates, on the northwest boundary of Syria, and there set up a kingdom called Mitanni. And when the Pharaohs preceded Tut and his father-in-law carried Egypt's arms northward and conquered Syria roughly between 1375 and 1350 B. C., they established a contact with this Aryan Mitannian kingdom. Through this contact a complete change seems to have been made in the racial complexion of the ruling Theban line. Go back five generations from Amenhotep TV and at each step you find either a known or possible influx of Asiatic blood, Amenhotep's grandfather, himself probably of mixed strain, married a Mitannian princess. Their son, Amenhotep III, at least half-Mitannian, had two, lesser wives, one a Mitannian princess, the other a Kissan. clerk why I had no recommendation. "Why didn't you stay South from the start?" the impatetn clerk asked. "Man," I cried, unable to speak it any longer. "have you ever seen one of your kind being roasted alive by a white mob? Have you ever smelled burning human flesh and heard the dying groans of your best pal? Have you ever been beaten almost to death and thrown into a alpity Jim Crow car? Man, go South! "Out in the street again. Back to my lodgings, only to meet an frate landlady at the door demanding either her rent or her room. She wanted rent and I wanted food. "I retracted my steps downstairs to the street" and, as the keen winter air struck my cheeks, I buttoned up my overcoat and plunged my bare hands deep down in my pockets. My right hand touched something cold. I pulled it out—a nickel! My last nickel. "I walked on for blocks until I came to the subway. I could at least think if I were warm, so I purchased my ticket and boarded the first train. "Thoughts, countless thoughts chased through my brain, but at the terminal I was in the same position, ponderless and hungry. All my possessions—a couple of suits of underwear, shirts and cockers—were in my suitcase at the room; the balance was on my back. "I changed my coach for the return trip, and kept riding up and down for about two hours until a conductor found me out and ordered me off the train and a guard saw me to the street. "My mouth felt hot and dry inside; my stomach almost kissed my back. Uriable to bear it any longer. I went into the nearest pawn shop and left my overcoat. I came out, fifty cents in hand, and darted into a restaurant." "Satisfying my hunger to the extent of fifty cents, I was again on the street. It was eight p.m. by the nearest clock, the snow commenced to fall. I dugged in and out of hallways until 12 o'clock, when they were all closed. "I walked up and down for a couple of hours until my body was almost rigid with cold; my brain was on fire. I backed up against a shop door—visions of that last night in Winona, Mississippi, came before me. At intervals I heard the haunting cry of my dying pal—a mail wagon came—I felt the heavy hash of the whip—my stiff hands felt something—two mail bags." "The police lieutenant looked at Jones. "Hem," he said, "this is a federal case," and instructed his assistant to lock him up and trace the owners of the bags. The owners of the bags were found, but refused to prosecute Jones once their property was returned. A detective at the station finally made a charge against him, and he was taken before a magistrate, who promptly dismissed the case. Jones, summoning what little strength he had, appealed to the magistrate to send him to prison, but the police with a "This way out" led him toward the door. "Officer," said Jones, "you are sending me out into the streets again hungry and cold. I am going to commit one of the most foulish robberies, for he hook or by crook I must, have food and warm clothes." The door closed behind him and the blinked rugged before him. Nearro, whether meet thou? lie. His chief wife, Tiy, was probably an Anatistic and possibly a Kassite or Mitannian. Such a series of intermarriages produced in Amenhotep IV a nearly full-blooded Aryan, who was *Mitanni* enough to go to that nation for his own wife. Thus there seems to have grown up in Egypt a family of rulers of Indo-European strain. The old Theban line, still unbroken, had, by intermarriage become Aslatic rather than Egyptian. And as if to emphasise this, we find the Pharaoh Amenophis VI, added and abetted by his Mitannian wife and by his possibly Mitannian mother-in-law, Tly, forcing upon his subjects the distinctly Aslatic sun-worship, the story of which has already been told in this series. Both he and his father maintained close relations with the Mitannian and Kassian states. And it is established that at least one Kassite prince left his home in Babylon, married a daughter of Amenhotep IV, and continued to reside, for a time at least, in Egypt. This brings us down to King Tut himself, who married one of the almost wholly Mitannian daughters of Amenophis IV. What of Tut? Tut an Asiatic At the very least, Tut seems to have been as Aslatic as the rest. Some historians say that he was the son of Amenophis III by either the Mitannian or Kassid' wife. That may be so. But is it not also possible that he was a full-blooded Kassite? Is it not possible that he was a Prince of Babylon—perhaps the very prince whose marriage with the Pharaohy daughter is known? Is it not possible that he was one of those "Ethiopians" of whom Manethos wrote? Flinders Petrie, one of the most eminent living Egyptologists, does not believe that Tut was one of the Theban line. But whether of the royal line or from Babylon, King Tut must have been of Arsan blood. Was he then a black man or a white? Not a black, certainly. Perhaps his skin was white. Perhaps it was of that peculiar dark hue of the Hindu of today, who, like ourselves and like King Tut, is one of the great Caucasian family. All these are questions that the treasures of the Gomb may answer. Editor's Note—Huxley said that the Egyptians were, neither Negro nor Caucasian, neither black nor white. What were they, then? They varied in complexion from dark brown to yellow and were probably a mixed race, as the American and West Indian Negro are. They probably were a blending of Caucasian, Hamite, Semite and Negro blood. It requires a wild leap of the imagination to classify King Tut with the Negroid lips and nose as a white shamrock. Caucasian. The U.S. Supreme Court has recently determined that the Hindu is not a member of the race that is called white, Caucasian or Aryan. MY VERSION OF IT By ERIC D. WALROND At first it was our intention to christen this child of ours, "On Being Lewd". But, you see, that smacks of aesthetism—of the desire to "essayize" on the virtues and vices of it. It being our desire to be lewdly and shamelessly personal, we changed our mind and dubbed it instead, "My Version of It." "Of what? you ask, bewildered. Of the trode at the young writers' evening at the library Wednesday night. After the posts—Countee P. Cullen and twisteden Bennett and Langton Hughes and Sadie Peterson and August Savage—got through with their "practical effusion": Arthur Schonehring's words—it devolved on us to read a story of Negro life. In the first place, the title had a tendency to prejudice those who heard it against the author, "Woman." Woman woman, woman. Well, for the first two pages it went off all right. Then, tip-toeong, one, two, three ladies crept out. On we read. In turning a page we caught Dorothy Friedman's violet eyes. "Louder," her lips pummelled; "I can't hear you." On we read. On, on, on. Until the end came. Arthur Schomburg, at the behest of the chairlady, was the first to illude us. "I didn't know that fellow Walrond had such a keen pair of eyes. Now, the point about the purple chemise——" The point about the purple chemise is the point they won't let us print: In the breaking up of the crowd we got a glimpse of the way they reacted to "Woman." "Is he really as bad as all that, Miss Rose?" "I don't think so," Miss Rose responded spiritually. "Well," she condescended to come over to us—well, I enjoyed yours, too." "Shake!" cried Joe Gould. "I'll buy you a cup of black coffee, so help me! I sure envy you your courage." "And to think—that ending—won't it awful? And there was a minister in the audience beheaded! Wan't that terrible to think—to think——" "Lewd! Licentious! Full of passion! Terrible!" "And that ending! My gawd! I almost blushed!" "I don't know what'a come over our men. Story about white men and colo- oed women—and white men in the audience. Didn't you see how that white man turned and whispered to the girl with him?" "Terrible — something terrible — the way our men —" rocks in the mountains will cry out—the babes in the cradles will speak, while unborn generations will curse and damn our very existence. Negro teachers, Negro singers, Negro painters, Negro preachers would rather teach and sing and paint and speak of something more beautiful, but how can they when the vile odors from filthy Jim Crow cars constantly stifle them? How can they when being barred out of public places and being denied certain public privileges enrage them? how can they when falling timbers from their burning homes set off by the angry mobs constantly frighten them; when the lynchers' rope about their necks all but strangle them? Under those conditions, how can black men have but one subject upon their minds—but one picture in their minds? How can they have but one song in their hearts? As long as God gives me the breath to speak, the foresight to see and the wisdom to understand I will stand up in the dairs of all opposition, in the face of holl itself, and speak the truth for my people as I see it. (Apalause.) Race problems are by no means new; all nations are of mixed origin because at some stage in their development they were compelled to deal with the troublesome race problem, India, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Greece, Rome, Italy and France, all in the beginning had the vexed race problems which were solved through the process of amalgamation resulting in a openness of character, aspirations and ideals, while Austria and Russia, together with Australia, America and Africa, find themselves face to face with these vexing problems today. If man were more civilized; if he had reached that point in his development where he could practice Christianity instead of simply preaching it; if he had reached that point in his development where he could accept all humanity as members of the same common family and practise the golden rule "As ye would that man should do to you, do ye even so unto them," there would be no such thing as race problems. But man is so far from being civilized, so far from being able to practice Christianity. He retains at this time so much of the brute that whispered and whispered two or more races of distinct racial type are forced to live together in the same territory, massacres, race riots and lynchings break out and continue until the weaker race is either annihilated or absorbed by the stronger. The mere fact that two races are forced to live together in the same country does not of itself produce a race problem. The race problem comes only when the weaker race has a desire to enjoy those things enjoyed by the stronger. As long as the weaker race is willing to be used by the stronger or is willing to submit to the wishes of the stronger and feels that it has not the right to aspire to, the things the stronger aspires to, there is no race problem. The problem comes when the weaker desire to enjoy these things enjoyed by the stronger. Sixty-four years ago there was no race problem in America, although there were 4,000,000 Negroes in America just about the same proportion of Negroes to white as the fifteen millions are today. There was no race problem at that time, because the Negro in slavery at that time did not think that he should aspire to the things required to be his master; he accepted his position although that position was given by him by Himself, his only hope and desire was to be an efficient and faithful slave. But ted moved in the black man's favor, forced Lincoln to break the shackles which bound him. Negroes came forth from slavery and rubbed their heads against university walls. They began to raise themselves from the depths of degradation to which they had been pushed; they came forth and began to earn a living by the sweat of their brows; they began saving their money, buying property and educating their children, until today we have millions of educated, retired Negro men and women aspiring to the same things their masters aspired to. Today the Negro is no longer content to be a slave or serf or peon; today the Negro is no longer content to be a foot mat or under dog; today the Negro wants a home as beautiful as that enjoyed by any other race; he wants the same opportunity and privileges; he is beginning to have a desire for those things SWAMP-ROOT FOR KIDNEY AILMENTS There is only one medicine that really stands out pre-comment as a medicine for curable ailments of the kidneys, liver and bladder: Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root stands the highest for the reason that it has proven to be just the remedy needed in thousands upon thousands of distressing cases.

Y. his master has enjoyed for several hundred years. He wants to be a mayor, he wants to be an alderman. Today the Negro wants every right and privilege enjoyed by other men. These are things enjoyed by the stronger race, and the moment that the weaker race begins to want that which is enjoyed by the stronger, there develops a race problem. What the Rise Problem Means Now, this race problem is different as the white man faces it from what it is when you face it. Do you know what the race problem means to the white race? When the white race thinks of the race problem it thinks of it only in these terms: How can we keep the Negro from enjoying the things we enjoy? If that was not the case the problem would long have been settled in America, for you would have been given every opportunity to take your place in American life and American democracy. But the problem that faces him is. How can we compel this man who once was a slave to keep a certain position that we have made for him? How can we compel him to continue to move in circles we ourselves have prescribed? But when the Negro faces this question it is faced just from the opposite angle. The Negro faces the question asking. How can I enjoy those things enjoyed by other men? How can I enjoy wealth and power? How can I enjoy social position and government? How can I enjoy those things enjoyed by mankind in general? Now as the white man struggles with his race problem, his struggle is to keep the Negro in a certain place; as the Negro struggles with this problem, his struggle is to shake loose from those bonds placed upon him by his masters. The Remedy Many have come on the scene with remedies for the race problem in America. Some have come forward and said: "All you have got to do to solve the problem in America is to educate the Negro. When the Negro has become educated and refined, when the Negro has become cultured, then you will see the race problem disappearing." But we have educated Negroes until we have about three million students in the various schools and colleges in this country being instructed by more than 100,000 Negro teachers, and yet we find the race question, instead of lightening, getting heavier upon the shoulders of the black man. They say: The thing you have got to do is to teach the Negro how to use his hand efficiently, and when the Negro becomes efficient industrially, then the white man will be disposed to accept him and respect him and listen when he speaks. Rooker Washington wore out his life educating Negroes, until today we have two institutions in this country, together with lots of other minor institutions of educating the hands of Negroes. But what has happened? Just about the time we began to turn out thousands of Negro mechanics, Negro electricians, shoe cobblers and Negroes in various fields of industry, while labor unions came on the scene, dominated by prejudice, organizing white men and barring from that list of working men black men. Many of these unfortunate failed to even allow the Negro to become members of the unions, and when black men did become members of the union, white men doing the hiring, many times hired the white union men in preference to the black men. Therefore we see all over the country efficient, capable. Negro men skilled in the various fields of industry, in the various fields of mechanical art, barred from certain places of work, and we see them compelled to work as cooks and waiters and various other jobs, when they are fully capable of taking their place in the industries of the country. Some come forward and say the black man should establish in this country his own factories, build his own commercial institutions, and when he has done that and made himself a gigantic financial strength, then the white man will be compelled to listen when the Negro speaks, and respect him as a man. But in that conclusion there was one thing left out, namely, that this country is white man's country. Now I want you to understand me when I say that America is a white man's country. I do not say that the Negro has no right to it. I am not arguing how the white than got it whether he stole it or whether it was given to him. I am not arguing the fact that Negroes have not spent their life's blood and contributed their money to the upbuilding and upkeep of this country. I know the record of Negroes in America. I know that black men have tunneled mountains, bridge streams and helped to make this country blossom like a rose. Nevertheless, I say again, it is a white man's country because, regardless of whether he stole it or took it by force, he dominates everything in this country, and, regardless of the fact that the Negro may have a moral right to it, the Negro can go only so far and no farther. A black man can go only as far as the other fellow wants him to go. The white man in America is not going to permit the Negro to develop a large financial strength; he will allow you to develop to a certain point, but no farther. When you reach that point where you begin to threaten his own financial strength, something is going to be brought about to slacken your pace. This was illustrated in the East St. Louis riots, the Tulsa riot and the Chicago riot, which arose because Negroes threatened white men's jobs. So, in our calculation, we have got to take in that phase of the question that we are living in the hands of a white civilization and they are not going to permit the Negro to be strong enough financially in order that he might dictate the policies of his race. Some have said that the solution of the problem will be for the Negro to enter politics. Putting certain laws on the statute books can not solve the problem. Here in America we have laws on the statute books now that would permit Negroes to enjoy more rights in the South than they are now enjoying. If these laws are enforced, but regardless of what laws are put on the statute books Negroes will not enjoy certain privileges. Take New York. In New York you have every political right as anybody else has and yet in New York discrimination and segregation goes on every day, and you will always be segregated and discriminated against as long as the white man holds away, regardless of laws that we pass. Then we have another class who says that 'after a while the white man's heart is going to soften; after a while the white man is going to change his attitude and become very sorry for the way he treated us; he is going to change and give Negroes privileges and opportunities for which they have begged and pleaded.' But let me tell you that the white man is by nature a cold-blooded being; the white man is noisy spiritual being. The reason why the Negro is so patient or long-suffering is because the Negro is by nature a spiritual being. Take the white man's civilization. In his civilization the white man has not produced any great art. It takes spiritual beings to produce art. The white man has not produced any great literature; it takes spiritual beings to produce great literature; the white man has not produced any great religion; no one religion that we have in the world was given to the world by the white man; all the religious that the world has today are religions given by the darker peoples of the world, and the white man has simply insured and used them to his advantage in enslaving the other peoples of the world. In keeping with the white man's nature he has only been able to give civilization science which carries with it force and power which he worships. The U. N. I. A. Answering the Question The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an organization that has come forward to answer the question. It says, "Black man, you are not going to solve your problem here in America until you link hands with the West Indi- ian Negro and the Negro of Central and South America, and with the Afri- can Negro; roll up your sleeves, go in the house, cut down her trees, as you have cut down the trees of America: MOTHER! MOVE CHILD'S BOWELS A mother and child Hurry mother! Even a cross, so child loves the "fruity" taste of California Fig Syrup" and it never fail to open the bowels. A teaspoon today may prevent a new child from getting hungry, a billion dollars frightful, has cold, colic, or if stomach is nour, tongue coated, breath bad remember a good cleansing of the little bowels is often all that is necessary. Ask your druggist for genuine "California Fig Syrup" which has directions to print on bottle. Mother! You must say "California" or you may get an imitation fig syrup. we undertake this job of bringing these things into being to bring the other things to his senses. The U. N. L. A has undertaken a big job; we know that it is big; we know when we talk of building a government we are talking in terms of perhaps hundreds of years, but we are laying the foundation for this. But we must begin, for a change must be brought about in the future destiny of my race. The Negro mother comes into this world, its mother knowing at the time that it makes its advent that there is only a certain distance it can rise. The French mother puts her little boy on the back and says: "Sonny, one of these days you may be a member of the Chamber of Deputies, or you may be President of France; one of these days you may hold or occupy the highest point of statesmanship in your country," and she encourages her boy to strive to work, and to sacrifice. The English mother tells her son that he may be representative in the House of Commons, or in the House of Lords, or that he may be Premier of England, the American mother tells her son he may be a member of Congress, or he may be President of the United States, but the poor Negro mother, belonging to the poorest race of mothers in the world, brings Wavy Hair in 3 Minutes Now Possible for ANYBODY to Have Beautiful Soft Wavy Hair These pictures are of Samuel L.

(Applause.) The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not believe that the white man is ever going to recognize the Negro on a plaque of social, economic and political equality with himself, as long as the Negro remains simply a parasite on his government. But when the Negro goes out on his own initiative and establishes for himself—achieves for himself and creates for himself, then the world will be willing to accept the Negro and accord him every respect accorded other men. About the morals of it, the Universal Negro Improvement Association realizes that the men who now have charge of the world respect nothing but force and power, and the U. N. I. A. finding this out, has made up its mind to get no much of force and power that the Negro, will be the most respected of all races in the world. If it takes force and power to wake him up; if it takes big guns to bring him to his senses then, the U. N. I. A. is going Wavy H Now Post Beaut Before Greatest of the WHY NOT BE BEAUT BE? A NEW, SAFE BY MODERN. CHE A WONDERFUL new discovery now makes a little short of criminal and glibly for anyone to go through life with only nappy, crinkly hair. How often have we advised and caused the men and women who ripped carefully life, admitted by everyone on account of their handsome hair and neat appearance. Perhaps some such attractive handsome person has stolen the affection of a girl. Or perhaps a young woman helpless to prevent. Or perhaps the good looks and snappy appearance of some fellow without half your braids enabled him to get the job which should have been yours. Good Looks Result of Care Did you ever *up 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 few minutes without the use of combs, fuss or bother. The result of all this experimentation is ZURA KINKOUT. People Overjoyed A large stock of Zura, Kinkout was laid in when its manufacturers put it out in the market, but even the most optimistic could not anticipate or figure out such an overwhelming response. In an incredibly short time the entire supply of Zura Kinkout was gone. It disappeared like magic.

In your country. But the Universal Negro Improvement Association is an organisation that has started out crying that if French mothers can put their children on the back and encourage them by pointing to highest points of statesmanship; that if white American and English mothers can do the same, the manhood of the U. N. I. A. has decided that we will establish a free and redeemed Africa, where black mothers will be able to put their children on the back and point them to the high points of statesmanship or the black manhood of the Negro race will report to God the reason why (Applause). We are not building for today we are building for futures. We are cying only for that depicted by other men. It is in this light that the U. N. I. A. calls upon you to enlist. We do not know, neither do we care, what course others may take, but as the members of the U. N. I.

DIVISIONS DESPITE CAUSTIC PEN OF HERBERT DE LISSER, U. N. I. A. IN JAMAICA ACQUIRES $4,000 LIBERTY HALL Jamaicans, Regardless of "Gleaner's" Efforts to Stifle Voice of the People, Are Clamoring All Over the Isle for Information on Marcus Garvey and the U.N.I.A. BY N. LEO PORTER JAMAICA, R. W. I. March 9 There's a saying that "every knock is a boost"; hence the continued rapid strides of this division and the spread of its influence not only in this city, but all over the island under the "knocks" of the ministerial pulpits (white and otherwise) and certain Negroes of the community, foremost among them, Herbert George DeLaiser, editor of the "Daily Guiner," the only daily newspaper on the island. This subtle editor, who endeavors when attacking the U. N. L. A., to try to run away from Africa's blood that courses through him, and tries to let people think he defends that blood when he has something to slip off on them to the benefit of an association of which he is secretary—the Jamaica, Imperial Association, which represents the interests of those whites. Mr. DeLissere recently, in an article, "The End of It," pointed out that the end of the U. N. L. A. the world over had come owing to the imprisonment which he thinks must inevitably terminate the present trend of our President-General, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. But if Herbert Gloege DeLissere had paid more attention to the achieve of his editorial pen held from time to time sold in a curd of tea in the white man's home and by C. M. G. that follows his name, and to receive his playing with the tip of Carvayen, which now permeates the people he has victimized in the past. To quote our executive secretary at one of these news meetings on the streets, "At the hooked-neck, work-kneed, jelly-backed little French, little Dutch, little Spanish, little Irish Negro DeLissner, puline editor of the cleaner, had only given a mere glance at the avalanche-like sweep of this Kingston division, which is right under his neck, he would have seen and known that his every 'knock' is a hoof, well he would have noted, through Garvey, the unrest of the give shopping. Negroes of Jamaica and their increased armed political, cultural, commercial and other wars of mind, demanded and met which was, strictly given expression to a week ago in the Legislative Council by Hon. Seymour, LightBody and Smith, and so soon came and for all that in the Hon. Morris Garvey Was even a little surprised by his hearer die naturally today, the U. N. I. A. would, like a mighty river, go on forever. Garvey having planted some 900 odd strong divisions that will yield thousands upon thousands of greater Garveys to carry on this program until the 400,000,000 Negroes are fully emancipated and their motherland, Africa, is redeemed under the unstained and unblemished tricolors, the red, the Black and the Green." This editorial was also strongly edieuded in a letter by Mr. Chas. D. Johnson, one of our field workers, who is always on the alert to defend the principles of the "organization with his pen, but this letter our friend DeLissier did not publish, owing. It is believed, to the old policy of denying us publicity, or on account of Lord Hurnham's presence on the island, whom he capted to make feel that Jamaica Negroa, being too British and contented with their lot, detested Garvey and his "back to Africa" movement and so welcomed any report (such as came from his editorial pen) of its doom. This letter, however, subsequently received publication in the columns of the "Herald," a recently started weekly, edited by Mr. N. A. Garker. An invitation for a representative from this division was extended us to attend a public meeting at Coke Chapel steps, convened by Counsellor A. Eam Alves (another officer) for Delaware's "blackout" in support of a resolution passed at a meeting of the Mayor and Council of this city in favor of a municipal lottery, which the government, augmented by the churches, is opposed to. This meeting fulfilled for this division two jubilies desiderata—giving us a hearing by the other Negro folks who stand aloft of this association, and our convincing them of our true platform (so often misrepresented), which was ably done by our executive secretary, Dr. Bruce Forbes, who was the executive speaker and motor of a resolution in support. A similar meeting will be held in the Ward Theatre within the next few days with the Mayor (white) in the chair, when another of our officers will represent us. As noted above, the ministers all over the island, particularly in the country parts, and no wonder, since their membership is being reduced considerably from week to week—are doing them almost to stem the onward march of this association to the extent of converting their pulpits into platforms from which they try to denounce the organization and its leader, the Hon. Marquis Garvey, whom they call, as per parts, coming to us, everything but the child of God. But "every knock is a house" and the U. N. L. A. sweeps on as is evidenced by the letters that come to this office weekly from all parts of the island urging our sending delegates to further instruct them in the principles of Garveyism. The first delegation in answer to the above mentioned appeals was sent to southern Manchester, and consisted of Miss Eva Aldred, Lady President; Mr. Charles D. Johnson, local field worker, and Mr. T. Brooks, former first Vice-President of the London (Eng.) division, who visited the following districts: Resource, Grove Town, Farm, Marley Hill and Salmon Town. At all of these places large and representative gatherings turned out, some coming eight or ten miles on foot to listen to the aims and objects, the forcefully delivered message of Garveyism as presented by the U.N.T.A. and the political environments of their districts. Fortunately for the recently formed division of Resource, its membership has been greatly increased owing to the convening of these meetings, as ever seventy new members were added to its roll. It must be mentioned that the pride and love of race as exhibited by the people, in comparison with the past, was 'alarming'; hence it is safe to say that at no distant date Southern Manchester will be all united under the colors of the red, black and Green. This is the fruit of the labor of the president of the Resource, Division, Mr Alfred Morrison, who is to be congratulated for his strenuous efforts to bring the people together. A branch of the Dorcas Society and Black Cross Nurses was organized by the delegates, also a unit of the African Legion, before their return, amid enthusiasm and applause for the splendid work they have done towards Africa's redemption. It is with enthusiasm running high that we have to report the most important "boost" of our "knocks" and that is the acquiring of premises on King street, in the vicinity of the Ward Theatre, at a cost of £800 (£4,000) for the erection of a Liberty Hall, of which £100 (£800) is paid down, the final payment pending the preparation of the necessary legal documents, when Negroes for the first time in the history of Jamaica will make one big step from rented premises of white folks to King street, when and where they will be premises solely owned by Negroes for Negroes—another nail in the coffin of its enemies and an added asset to the U. N. I. A. Bravo, Garvey, son of this soil! Long may you live! Too much praise cannot be given of the efforts made by our members and friends' in donations, tours and drives, notwithstanding the hostility of members of this division, who have recently broken away and have been doing their worst to dissuade the minds of would-be donors and lenders at their mass meetings every night on the streets. We have recently been honored by visits from members of overseas and local divisions. Principal among the former was Mrs. Maud Knight, first Lady Vice-President of the Brooklyn Division and sergeant of the Second Motor Corps, New York, and among the latter, Mr. H. B. Green, chaplain of the Port Antonio Division. Mrs. Knight in a most eloquent address stirred our lady hearers to a high pitch of enthusiasm and urged their early forming of a branch of said corps, of whose workings in New York she told with a delight and ease that was charming. Much attraction was displayed on all sides by her appearance in the uniform of the Motor Corps. Mr. Green conducted the religious portion of our Sunday night mass meeting and afterwards gave a report of the progress of his division, which was calculated to make us feel jealous. THE FARRELL, PA., DIVISION FORGING AHEAD Dear editor, please allow me space in your valuable paper to let the 400,000,000 Negroes know that the Fartell Division No. 2935 on the scene Saturday night, March 5, 1923, the division gave a musical program, for this division is in need of money to pay some of its debts. Two of our members died, and we still have $50 on their funeral expenses. Also, we are buying a piano, and owe $115 on it, but glad to say we charged 25 cents admission, but that had no effect on the crowd, for they turned out in large numbers. We called for a collection after the program, and the people responded liberally. Following is the program: Song, "Sunshine in My Soul," by congregation. Prayer, by Chapion, "Mr. Cathenkenex. Paper, by Mrs. Mandessa Askerense subject: "The Negro Was in It." Instrumental solo, by William Terrell, Jr. Recitation, by Mrs Alberta Gaston, Instrumental duet, by L. Body and Jim Tompkins. Recitation, by Arlition Askernese, Solo, by Mrs. Dusle Hammonds. Recitation, by Mitchell Askernese, Quartete, Samuel Adare, Frank Washington, George Ray, Mr. Gillis. Then the president made a short talk before introducing the speaker of the evening, Victoria Fatado, a native of South Africa. The lady president, Mrs. Daisie Hammonds, acted as mistress of ceremonies. I had a letter from Mrs. Eddie Lannes, secretary to President Gidle, stating he would visit us. The people are anxious by awaiting the date when he will be here. We would like to have some of the representatives of the parent body visit us a little oftener. It has been more than six months since we had a visit from the parent body. We would like to have Hon. William L.

N. I. A. in Banes of much importance to their lives. Our president, Mr. R. S. F. Blake, is a very energetic man. He does all in his power to encourage the people to go forward with this great propaganda and with the determination of "One God. One Alma. One Destiny." to make this year 1923 one of the best. Every meeting night our people are anxious to hear of the U. N. L. A. and its progress. As we sit in Liberty Hall, Banes, and listen to the beautiful solos and inspiring addresses from our Negro men and women we can't but think that we are the best race on God's earth. Every interested member of this division is anxious to do something to push the cause along. We are saying that the Hon. Margus Garvey can at all times depend upon the Banes division, because we have loyal and true men who are ready to undergo any hardship. Not only is our membership roll being enlarged, but our people are understanding more of their race and what is meant by the U. N. L. A. and now we are saying God bless our honorable leader, Marcus Garvey. Long may he live! And never shall the Universal Negro Improvement Association fail till Africa is redeemed and Negroes feel the joy of true happiness, freedom and a well-protected government in the sunny land of Africa.

By G. RUPERT CHRISTIAN Much enthusiasm was aroused in the Columbus Division and The American Addition Chapter over a telegram received by the Executive Secretary, Mr. G. R. Christian, from the President General, on Thursday, March 1, to raise FIFTY DOLLARS on Sunday, March 4, for important work in Liberia. The Secretary got busy. Hand bills were procured and lottery written to big men of the city (to give addresses. There was a fairly large attendance out on Sunday, and stirring addresses were delivered by W. S.

Send 50 coins for trial treatment and circular matter to show in AGENTS WANTED. The Taylor Hair Grower Co. 473 Garlton Avenue, Reston, N. Y. pressed his hearers that the U. N. J. A. was the one organization that has taught the Negro to know himself. He made a fine illustration of the lion and the sheep. He said of the Negro knew himself as a lion, then he would get the respect that is due to him. The sheep, on the other hand, was lowly, and cringling, and breek, and therefore no one feared it. So it is with the old and the new Negro, as shown by the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Rev. Bowen followed with a masterly defense of the organization. He aroused much mischief by his breezy talk, and our members are always glad to have him at our meetings. The Division is taking a forward step in getting in closer touch with the big churches. The Secretary sent the Rev. R. D. Phillips a letter bearing on the "closer relationship." For the sake of the Price, we sincerely hope that the organization and the different churches will line up for the cause of negro uplift and solidarity.

Timberlake, Hoppy Harris, the vice-president, and Mr. Henry Harvey: Lady president of Division No. 138, Robbing, 11 Many strong faces were in evidence and displayed intense interest remaining quiet throughout. There seems to be a growing desire on the part of all to know the true facts about the Universal Negro Improvement Association despite the fighters and critics in spite of the political meetings at two of the largest churches in the same locality, and division No. 313 which the largest gathering in its history. We intend to keep up the fight for African Redemption and racial preservation. Within a short time another "Special" will be staged regardless of the knockers.

Dear Sir—As a white man who has the moral and material welfare of the Negro of heart, it may be that a criticism of the problems confronting the race today will be received in the kindly spirit in which it is meant. My knowledge of the colored man's problems has not been acquired superficially. I have lived with the race in Africa, the West Indies, the Southern States and in nearly every country, where they are to be found. Years of study devoted to an effort to assist in the emancipation of the Negro have also aided me in arriving at a fairly definite estimate of racial difficulties. The conscientious scholar, possessed of an inquiring and analytical mind, will not find any place in the whole world more suitable for a comprehensive study of race problems than right here in Harlem. Let me say at the outset that I have absolutely no sympathy with any class of white men who regard the Negro as a thing apart. Experience has taught me that the only standard whereby you can measure a man is not by his color or his creed, but by his principles and his intellect. If a man is a true man I will proudly call him friend even if his skin is black as tar. If a man is not true the fact that his skin is as white as alabaster will not impress me. God's sun shines on God's children without regard, to race or creed. The sun is the most potent evidence of the warmth and justice of God's love, never ending, never falling; and, that being so, it would seem to me that the colored man is slightly more sunburned than his white brother. Holding this view, it cannot be alleged against me that I possess any color prejudice. Indeed, my leniency, if any, will err in favor of the Negro, not because I wish to parade any sloppy mementality, but because he deserves the benefit of any doubt, not having long enjoyed the advantages of political freedom. In Harlem there is a very large colored community. They represent the descendants of numerous African Negro nationalities, mord or less blended. They represent, too, a considerable part of the white race. Which fact alone ought to stem the torrent of adverse white criticism. Indeed, the blood fusion between the white and colored is so completed in many instances as to make it a difficult matter to tell where the black ends and the white begins. Harlem cannot by any stretch of imagination be regarded as the most law abiding section of this great country. The unthinking may retort that there are white sections of the country that are as bad as if not worse than Harlem. True enough, but that assertion does not whitewash Harlem. It only proves my original contention that a white skin does not make a white character. These premises ought to be consoling to the colored man. If the extraordinary number of churches are any criterion, the morals of the colored community of Harlem should be the highest in the world. That is, if we assume that churches still have a moral function. Nowhere in the world are so many churches to be found as in Harlem. Denominations weird and wonderful practice their lamentable rites in every block. So-called spiritualistic fakers, fortune tellers, charitains and devil destroyers hold "church" in hundreds of "furnished rooms." Themselves colored, they practice every artifact to rob their colored brethren. They debauch the teaching of Jesus with their numeries and besmirch the beautiful science of metaphysics with ignorance. They profess the Christian faith while practicing the arts of hell. These parasites are so numerous that one marvels how the colored people of Harlem have survived this assault on their moral and economic existence. These "churches" have erected the god of Mammon. They are a burden on the moral and economic lifehood of the thrifty and industrious. These non-productive peddlers of sur Apply It to Any Rupture, Old or Recent, Large or Small, and You Are on the Road That Has Convinced Thousands Anyone ruptured, man, woman or child, should write at once to W. S. Rice, 407B Main St., Adams, N. Y., for a free trial of his wonderful stimulating application. Just put it on the rupture and the muscles begin to tighten; they begin to bind together so that the opening closes naturally and the need of a support or truss or appliance is then done away with. Don't neglect to send for this free trial. Even if your rupture doesn't bother you, what is the use of wearing supports all your life? Give the thrusts the assistance? Why run the risk of getting injured and dangers com a small and innocent little rupture, the kind that has thrown those operating table? A host of men and women are daily running such risk just because their ruptures do not hurt or prevent them from getting around. Write at once for this free trial, as it certainly a wonderful thing and has added to the cure of ruptures that are big as a man's two fists. Try and write all once, using the coupon below. ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! AND EVERY NIGHT PRESIDENT GENERAL of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, who has been most wickedly and viciously attacked through the Negro Press by a gang of unscrupulous colored men in New York, has decided to address a series of mass meetings in LIBERTY HALL, 120 West 138th Street TO DENOUNCE the villains who have for several years been opposed to the success of the greatest Negro movement in the world, that seeks to improve the conditions of the race. HEAR THE GREATEST ORATOR OF THE RACE EXPOSE THE CONSPIRACY OF THE GANG THAT HATE THE NEGRO BLOOD IN THEIR VEINS. Come and Be Intsructed Correctly on Matters Affecting the Race Every Negro in New York Will Respond to the Call to Be AT LIBERTY HALL EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEEK—SEVEN THOUSAND TO BE ACCOMMODATED EVERY NIGHT From February 27th to March 7th Inclusive At 8.15 o'Clock EVERY MEMBER AND FRIEND OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION WILL BE IN LINE AT LIBERTY HALL EVERY NIGHT IN THIS BIG TWO WEEKS' DRIVE TO EXPOSE THE ENEMIES OF OUR PROGRESS. porquisition are an intolerable impediment to the progress of the race. If the colored people believe that these fakers can help them they are self-received. The white man, with his centuries of civilization, owes no part of his advancement to the moralists and theologians. White supremacy has been achieved, not because of the "faith fakers," but in spite of them. Education, scientific and historical, moral, and metaphysical, has accomplished more for the moral progress of the white man than all theological "isms" since the dawn of creation. Let the colored man profit by the bitter experience of his white brother and learn thereby. this condition of things with other skills of lesser degree stems the progress of the colored race. "Churchianity" is not Christianity. It is not nearly so good. The white man has thrust too much "Churchianity" on the colored man and too little Christianity. While I am not unmindful of the fallings of the white man in his relations with the colored people, I am convinced that the greatest enemies of the race are the parasites of the race. National or racial advancement begins with the individual. Individual advancement means self-development. It seems to me that the colorful people pay too little attention to the earnest and conscientious leaders of the race and too much lied to the multitude of ignorant and selfish "devil-destroyers" in their midst. They regard a few cents spent on good books as a waste of money, but do not hesitate to pour dollars into the lap of some manical mind-reader. Rather than listen to the gospel of Calvary in all its sweet simplicity they hearken to the "pastors" whose principal vocabulary is "money, money, money." Musten the day when some brave, true spirit like the humble Galilean will again upset the money-changers in the temple. I often wonder if these fakers, who pride themselves on their biblical knowledge, ever read the twenty-third Chapter of Jeremiah. The first and eleventh verses I like particularly. It seems to me that a Divine Providence had the fakers in mind when he inspired these lines. "Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord," and, again, "For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in My house have I found their wickedness." "The rest of this chapter is equally as illuminating. It has been alleged against the colored man by whites that he has contributed nothing to scientific knowledge, the arts or to literature. Relatively speaking, that may be partly true. But that is an indictment against his white teachers. Considering the short time the race has enjoyed emancipation it would be unjust to expect them to comprehend the arts, much less contribute to them. Nevertheless, the colored man has contributed greatly to the economic wealth of the country. He had to. The white man gave the colored man legal equality. But moral equality can only be achieved by the colored people's own efforts. Their moral and material emancipation can only come from within. Even were the white man willing to give moral equality to the colored man, it is something beyond his power. Even were the white people anxious to withhold it from the colored man they could not do it now. Only by the progress of the individual can the race progress. It is every colored man's duty, not only to himself, but to his race, to strive for self-development. In the language of the venacular "It's up to him." His educational advancement will bring about his participation in the destinies of his race. Every colored man of character and integrity who proves by his mental and moral equality that he is capable of the same achievements, as the white man strikes a mortal blow to the enemies of the race. Every colored man who falls to strive for self-development is the greatest enemy of his own race. Considering his splendid physical heritage, coupled with his inherent spiritual attributes, the Negro will eventually play an important part in the history of civilization. But the march of colored progress is being greatly retarded because of the enemies within the camp. Nor will the enemies be destroyed by legislation. Legislation has never succeeded in making a race good or sober. It never will. Education is the solution. Education that is free from denominational control. Education that imparts truth. The problem of the race will disappear like spoon in June when the colored man, by self-development and education, achieves mental and moral independence from the white man. Those who profess to see the influence of the white man, in every moral lapse of the colored man, are bigots. Those who explain away every colored falling as the "result of white domination" only aggravate the difficulties and contribute nothing to the progress of the race. It is the earnest wish of the writer that the colored people will face the problems of the race in the true spirit of fearlessness. Actuated with a genuine desire for truth and for self-de- "FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH" IS FOUND BY SCIENCE European Discovery, Easily Used at Home, Restores Vigor Quicker Than Gland Operations Those who suffer from nerve weakness and lack of vigor will be interested in a European discovery which restores full physical power quicker that gland operations.

REMEMBER THE DATES AND THE PLACES villagement, they will hasten the day when the future will fall to rise no more. That will be the dawn of a new era for the colored man. Charles H. Anderson, former cochier of Anderson & Co., bankers, of Jacksonville, Fla., was discharged in the County Court of being not guilty of the charge of embezzling $5,000 of the bank's funds. The State comptroller of Florida testified in the case that the bank has been conducted in a regular order and that there was no irregularities as set forth in the warrant. Anderson has been tled up in the United States Court ever since the bank closed. By this colored lawyer and seven petitioners, present indications show that all matters will be adjusted within the next few weeks, and every depositor will be paid in full. A WONDERFUL CONCERT PROGRAM dimes that we give to help this cause are stolen. When Mr. Garvey made his last tour of the West Indies some three years, someone handed him a broom. That broom was to sweep out the bad woods from New York Local. I see that there are still more bad woods remaining, and I sincerely hope that at the next sifting of the coming convention another broom may be given to him to sweep from the rostrum of New York Local to the door. This is now leading us to believe that truly there is no one to put our trust in—those who are gone, and those remaining. Let us who are determined to put this program over he not dismayed, but fight victoriously until the colors of the Red, Black and Green are planted on the hilltops of Africa.
