The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race RECEIVED APR AWAKENED AFRICA STARTLES THE WORLD HON. MARCUS GARVEY Will Preach at LIBERTY HALL, 120 West 138th Street, SUNDAY MORNING APRIL 15th, at 10:30. Subject: "What Think ye of Christ?" FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: News has reached us of the wonderful success of the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Motherland, Africa. The natives of the "old home" are using every available means to disseminate the aims and objects of our association throughout the length and breadth of the continent, even though the "Colonial Bulldogs" have been trying to hound them into subjection. BOOMERANG FOR COLONIAL POWERS The Colonizing Powers in Africa thought that they could have easily suppressed the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by prohibiting the circulation of our newspaper, "The Negro World," but they have come to realize that "there are more ways than one to kill a dog than putting the rope around his neck." What we cannot achieve through the circulation of "The Negro World" in Africa, surely other means will be adopted for so doing, and now find that the natives are broadcasting the new doctrine of Negro liberty, Negro freedom, emancipation and true democracy by "drum wireless." NATIONALIST AGITATION A cable report from London says that the Colonial authorities are very much disturbed over the native nationalist agitation; yet others laughed at us when we said that we were determined to have a free and redeemed Africa; they questioned the possibility of redeeming Africa. Now we see that Africa will redeem herself, not so much from without as from within. What we want is to implant the right kind of education in the minds of the natives, to let them realize that they are entitled to freedom like the other races of the world, and see to it that they push forward until they have succeeded in dislodging the alien enemy. We are determined to see to it that if democracy is good for one set of people, that it will be good for all. No more of French hypocrisy and British deception in Africa; they must "come clean." If they mean to Christianize and civilize Africa, they must do it "above board"; they must "deliver the goods." In fact, we have trusted them for too long "delivering the goods"; we are going to do it ourselves. Surely they will not blame us. England, with her hundreds of years of professed Christian love for Africa, and France, with her centuries of profession of brotherly love, have done nothing more than ravish our dear homeland, robbed us of our land and wealth, and today are making still the effort to deceive us into believing that they wish us well. They might have succeeded in deceiving our fathers, but surely they shall not continue deceiving us. HANDS AND HEARTS TOGETHER Let us as Western Negroes further link RACE TO UNITE AND BUILD A NEW CIVILIZATION CAN BE LOYAL TO DOMESTIC GOVERNMENTS YET LOYAL TO RACE AND AFRICA DRUM WIRELESS IN AFRICA SURPRISES COLO-NIAL PLUNDERERS 400,000,000 NEGROES COMING TQGETHER hands and hearts with the millions of our brothers and sisters in Africa; let us encourage them to go on promulgating the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association until every nook and corner of the great continent is ignited with the doctrine of human liberty. OWN LIBERATION The fact that the Africans have taken up the cry of their own liberation is an answer to the critics who have so often stated the impossibility of building a Negro nation in Africa. CIVING EDUCATION Education will do more in changing the political aspect of the so-called "Dark Continent than anything else in the twentieth century. Let us, therefore, give the natives the education that they need. THE CRY FOR FREEDOM Africa's cry for freedom must be loud and long. We will make such a noise in proclaiming ourselves that the whole world will be stirred with the echo. During the period of 1914 to 1918 we heard the ringing cry of Woodrow Wilson for democracy and self-determination for weaker peoples. That cry has not yet died away, because Africa, sleeping though she has been for ages, has bestirred herself, and the echo of democracy has reached her, and we are determined that the sentiments stirred up in our hearts through this great appeal shall not die. SUPREME APPEAL The Universal Negro Improvement Association makes its supreme appeal to the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world for a better consideration of the African situation. All sensible men know that Africa, and Africa alone, will be the solution of the great Negro problem. Not until Africa gives out to the world a new civilization, not until Africa impresses the force and power of a black nationality, will men of color, the world over, get the respect that they hope for. BOUND BY THE FUTURE OF AFRICA Fifteen million American Negroes and millions of West Indian and Central and South American Negroes are bound by the future of Africa. If Africa goes down in de- I. MARCUS GAR TY HALL, 120 West 138th Str Subject: "What Think ye of Cl feat before the great white man who is now making his tremendous onslaught for domination through exploitation and native extermination, then we may as well sing our requiem and hand over posterity of our race to the curse of a new slavery. But with determination on our part to link hands and hearts together, moving and marching in one mighty phalanx, we can give to the world a new nation, an emancipated race that will live forever. NO NEED FOR GIVING UP RIGHTS To fight for African redemption does not mean that we must give up our domestic fights for political justice and industrial rights. It does not mean that we must become disloyal to any Government or to any country wherein we were born. Each and every race outside of its domestic national loyalty has a loyalty to itself; therefore, it is foolish for the Negro to talk about not being interested in his own racial, political, social and industrial destiny. We can be as loyal American citizens or British subjects as the Irishman or the Jew, and yet fight for the redemption of Africa, a complete emancipation of the race. NOT DISLOYAL Fighting for the establishment of Palestine does not make the American Jew disloyal; fighting for the independence of Ireland does not make the Irish-American a bad citizen. Why should fighting for the freedom of Africa make the Afro-American disloyal or a bad citizen? TEACHES LOYALTY TO GOVERNMENT The Universal Negro Improvement Association teaches loyalty to all governments outside of Africa; but when it comes to Africa, we feel that the Negro has absolutely no obligation to any one but himself. Whatsoever kind of a government we have in Africa whether it be one or the other, has been imposed upon us by stealth and deception; therefore, we are not compelled to recognize them. NO CONSTITUTION FOR AFRICA As far as Africa is concerned, there is no constitution but that which declares for Negro freedom. If it takes us a thousand years, we shall work for and probably fight for the freedom of our Fatheland. LET US GIVE HELP Let us, therefore, on this western side give our help and encouragement to the natives to go ahead. Let them scatter the news of freedom; whether they do it by "drum wireless" or by any other means. We are in earnest. We intend to fight to a finish. Every Negro must support this program, and why not every liberal-minded white man? Negroes have helped white men to win their freedom; they may as well help us to win ours; because we are going to get it anyhow. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Let everybody subscribe financially to the cause of this great movement. You can help us with $1, $5, $10 or $20 to carry on this work. If you have it, send it right away to the Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, U. S. A: With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be. P. S. The Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association desires the support of all Local Divisions, Branches, Chapters and all members at this time. Let every one who has a constitutional relationship to the Organization make all effort to support the Parent Body, because we are in need of funds to carry on the great work. The work has enlarged itself and it takes more to carry it today than a year of two ago. We have really expanded ourselves throughout the world and, therefore, it takes much more to finance the cause than when it was purely a domestic movement. Send in your report immediately and see to it that it is done every month and regularly. M. G. Hon. Theodore W.

That the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are never worry of doing honor to and appreciating those who have rendered heroic services for the cause of the association was exemplified tonight by the rousing ovation which the thousands who attended Liberty Hall accorded to the First Assistant Secretary-General, Hon. Thomas W. Anderson, on his return from 'New Orleans, where he was, engaged in a bitter but successful fight to uphold the principles of the association, clear its good name of a stain which was sought to be placed upon it and place the division upon a solid and galvanized footing. Whereby the work will be carried on untramplied by those who seek to destroy it. Mr. Anderson in a touching speech animated by thrilling and gruesome 'Experiences' his arrest and imprisonment together with other officers of the New Orleans division and their ultimate vindication against the unwarranted charges against them of ingrising to test. The New Orleans which he said, takes awards tendered on any division in the United States or in any part of the world he members have stood the test during a trying event and did so because they believe him in Macau, because the principles of the association have found an eternal bonding place in their hearts and because they believe firmly in the great program of 'Africa for the triumph and the they work.

OF THE U.N.I.A.VINDICATED IN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS and persons who said they never would join, come and joined, and they said to the police officers: "If you want to break up the division you cannot do it by arresting us, because the more you arrest us the more we are going to stick." The President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, spoke briefly on the work of the association, and referred specifically to the recent dispatch from London to the Associated Press of this country calling attention to the interest in Europe caused by, the spread of "Garvey propaganda" among the natives of Africa through a "dream wireless" method of communication, which, although new and mysterious to Western civilization, was effectively used by the African natives forages. This new, and Mr. Garvey is in itself an answer to our critics and mighther and the denoting Thomas who have been working us about the possibility of redeeming Africa. This news reveals that the Africans are getting ready to take care of themselves; that they have started to broadcast throughout the entire continent the daily, weekly, and monthly activities of the U. N. L. A. and in the space of twenty-two hours whatever is worth while knowing as pertaining to the work of the U. N. L. A. is known from East to West, Down North to South. This attention which is being paid to the U. N. L. A. is proved beyond of doubt that the U. N. L. A. was no joke and if we have been able to do that much in five years we can be assured that in another year Africa will be one for the value of the Red, the Black and the Green. Speaking of the recent discovery of Tortoise-Americas Tortoise and the such features therein and the attempt on the part of the white world to all oppose the fact that Tortoise be Amur was a severe Mr. Gervais had not want to know the prejudice of the white man was not only against the white man but against the condition and the long we continue to live in this condition we we shall be deserved and looked down upon by Negroes and Europeans. Negroes and Europeans are not of which we are made. Holding that the white man is not deserved and looked down upon by Negroes and Europeans is not of which we are made. Holding that the white man is not deserved and looked down upon by Negroes and Europeans is not of which we are made. Holding that the white man is not deserved and looked down upon by Negroes and Europeans is not of which we are made. Has Great Work in New Orleans As you will remember, some time ago some friends of me lived in the City of New Orleans at the very north of the South Atlantic. New Orleans is surrounded by the Mississippi and New Orleans, but the location of the city is not the same. The city is located in the U.S. N. Atlantic about the world for 100 (Apalachian). Certain times we developed there concerning the birth of one of the most important children I will wish to add to some time in which we could for the patient body is immed. the action. We wanted a man to send to the scene of action whom we could soon to hold up the banner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We wanted a man of starting worth and stepping character, not a THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1923 acsphant; not one who would bow even before superior powers; and I speculated and said to myself that I would try Mr. Christias Anderson, and I sent him at the time when the entire Southland, especially that part of Louisiana where the accident occurred, was stirred up in blitterness against the U. N. I. A. I sent him there and as he arrived, on the spot he took hold of the situation, and it happened that all the other officers of the division had been arrested twice. They were arrested on the charge of inciting to roat, s. d. Mr. Anderson, like a true general of the U. N. I. A., stood his ground when other men failed and fell and ran away—when the commissioner could not be found in the State of Louisiana, Mississippi and neighboring States for weeks, Mr. Anderson stood his ground and, even though arrested along with other officers twice, he was determined that the U. N. I. A. would come out victorious and he returns to offer having won the two cases for the U. N. I. A. against the State, and it gives me great pleasure in presenting this young man to you tonight, who has really won his spurs for the cause of Africa. (Applause.) As I present Mr. Anderson, caring not what his other faults may be, I present him to you, for the service he has rendered in upholding the standard of this organization. You know some of our leaders when a little grouper comes around, shake in their knees, but Mr. Anderson has lifted himself out of that category and as I present him I ask for three lusty cheers for the greatest division of the U. N. I. A. throughout the world for 1925, the New Orleans Division, and three cheers for Mr. Anderson who has saved the day for the U. N. I. A. (Bouncing cheers were given). Mr. Anderson Speaks Mr. Andrighon, asking amd great cheering, said: "I heartily thank the president general for the kind words that he had said about me, and I heartily appreciate your attitude toward me for the little I have been pitying for the University Negro Improvement Association. I am proud of those persons who have praise; I early desire to see the thing done and it does not matter a snap to me who gets the praise, just so the thing is done. I am only satisfied with doing my duty, and I always hate to do just a little more so that I can feel satisfied within myself that I have done my duty. Has Seen the U. N. I. A. Put to Test Has Seech the U. N. I. A. Put to Test I have within the past few months seen the U. N. I. A. put to the test. I have seen what loyal members of the association would do or could do during such a period or such a whiskey. I have seen men and women stand firmer than I have even seen black men and women stand before. (Applause.) I have seen the South. In the house of the Ku Klux Klan, in the home of prejudice and supreme race hatred, in a land where everything that is black is distilled. I have seen black men and women there when officers of the law were decidedly against them—when the powers that we are not allowed toward them; I have seen them stand firmer and stronger than you black men and women will stand in this place where you have everything to your advantage. I have seen men and women whom you call cowards refuse the charge by the acts and by their deeds, and I can truthfully say that the New Orleans Dayton today stands rather than New York. Local acquaintances than any division in the United States of America, or any division in any part of the world. You have them a branch of Negro men and women who do and do not talk so much about it. I advise any person who is an enemy of the U. N. I. A., if you expect to fight the situation do not turn your forces toward New Orleans. Louisiana, because they will run the risk of them losing in hell throughout all eternity we save you what you are looking for. New Orleans Division's firm Belief in Marcus Garvey The division has accomplished all that it has accomplished, without any heart and health or pump and power; what they have done they have done because they believe firmly in Marcos Garvey applauds; they have done because the principles of the Universal Security Improvement Association have found an eloquent place in their hearts, because they believe firmly in the African program of "Mrica for the Marcos" and they are working heartily toward that end. Speaks of His Arrest We were arrested in New Orleans, Lot, while we were speaking on the 18th of October. The officers of the law came and arrested the officers of the division, including myself. They campaigned on February 11 and went through the same procedure. Their purpose was to break up the division. They lodged us in jail until we could get in touch with our attorney, and then to show you that these guys clean persons in the world who are not members of our race, the lawyer came, and he knew only two of us, he knew me and another member of the division, and he went on the bonds of these ten men to the amount of $25,000 without asking for a penny. The second time he went on our bonds to the amount of $28,000, so that he was on our bonds to the amount of $50,000, and he said: "If you go there and arrest these men every night I am going to go on their bonds so that they may stay out of jail." (Applause.) The lawyer I refer to are Woodwell & Woodwell, reputable firm of lawyers in the city of New Orleans. Members Rally to the Cause Did this break up the division? No, it did not. When the police came the first time and arrested us the members stood firm and offered their assistance, and thinking that the wwo coming back another time, those who had given up the division came back and renewed their allegiance, paid up their dues, and persons who, said they never would join came and joined, and they said to the police officers, "If you want to break up the division you cannot do it by arresting us, because the more you arrear us the more we are going to block." Wine Both Cases for the U. N. I. A. They finally brought us to trial last Wednesday and we won both cases in court (applause) and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the State of Louisiana now stands vindicated and firm. Their purpose for charging us with inciting to riot was that they thought that in case they proved their case they would disband the organization. We knew what their motive was. - Fall in Line or Fall Out This has brought us to this conclusion: that there is only one thing for the members of the U. N. I. A. to do is only one thing for those who call themselves our friends and sympathizers—the only one thing for them to do is to fall in or fall out. To those who claim to be leaders of the association, who may have occupied places of leadership and who now may occupy them, we say to them, fall in or get locked out. We have a certain class of leaders in the U. N. I. A. who get in order to benefit themselves, and they do. They dare not put me out for fear I will light them if they do so; they dare not put me out because they fear I will become an enemy if they do. They have hung on to the association until they have done it much harm, but the U. N. I. A. has come to the point that they are going to put out all persons, officers, high officers or law officers, or what not to "note" fair with the organization, even if the organization itself has to suffer after putting them out. (Applause.) And if any of you who are in the organization merely because your friend is in there and your friend is an officer, if that is the only option for getting in there, and that you will get out if your friend happens to be put out because he proves himself unworthy, then we say to you, you had better start getting out now. The U. N. I. A. has been hampered long enough by that class of leaders, so that instead of being able to put over our program who have to fight enemies within the ranks—to fight those who call themselves leaders. We have had to stand for a lot from them in order to keep the wheels working and to keep some of you in the fold; but, as I have said, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is spreading itself throughout the country and the Negro men and women are demanding that those who lead them be true leaders, loyal, honest and unafraid. That is what they are demanding, and by God, that is what they are going to get. (Applause.) The time now comes for us to deck out if we expect it, to to follow us and stand by us; expect the people to believe in our program; if we expect them to unde and assist in redeeming Africa then we who lead must also be fair, honest, true and loyal, and that is what we are determined to be. The organization is being tried; it is being prosecuted and slaved from one side to the other, and it is now time for you to decide whether you are going to remain with the organization or not; whether you are also going to stop aside and assist in this persecution. We are calling on the loyal members of the association to do as we never have called on them before, we are asking you in this crisis when the whole world is unstilled, when all the races of the world are trying to get that which belongs to them we are now asking: Are you going to step aside and not assist us in trying to get what belongs to us? Negro men and women. If you dare to think for a while of your position you will find that you hardly have any position at all; you will hold that you are just by the sufferance of the white man and not because of anything that you yourself have done; and we are asking you, how long are you going to remain in the attitude that you have maintained for the past fifty-eight years? It is now time for us to get together. U. N. I. A. Calling for Firmness O. N. L. A. Calling for Preference The University of Negro Improvement Association is calling us asking you to stand firm. I have been in the State of Mississippi and I have seen there the organization growing like a green house; I have seen them crying for information about the F. N. L. A. that they might get hold of it. I visited on place there where Negro men were seriously allowed to lift their heads. I visited one city in the colored district where every other house over a down streets contained black women who were the mistresses of white men. I visited a city where black women dared to wear decent clothes; and swaked the streets they are knocked down and if a black man knew anything about it probably knew it but him and God. Movement to Develop Backbone Movement to Develop Backbones So that this movement is required; they are calling for this movement in order that black men and women may develop backbones of steel instead of backbones of shape strings; blood instead of water; and this organization is doing its part and we are saying to you members of the New York local, you members scattered here and there—how in the name of God can you lift up your hand or lift up your voice to oppose an organization that black men and women everywhere are crying for? I would not have it said of me that I stood in the way or that I dared to oppose a movement that is doing so much for the men and women of the race. You had a passage of scripture read to you a little while ago that said: "My sheep will not follow the voice of a stranger." The writer certainly did not refer to black folks when He wrote that, because they do not believe in following anything but the voices of strangers. "My sheep know my voice and the voice of the stranger, they know not. . . No man taketh my life; I lay it down myself” No man taketh your liberty from you; no man taketh your freedom from you; you give it up yourself if it is given up at all, and if you do not have liberty and freedom, you can blame one, no but yourselves. That is what the U. N. I. A. is telling over and over; that is what it is preaching to you daily. U. N. I. A. Calls for locality and face. "Men and women, this organization calls for sacrifice; it calls for loyalty, and we are now asking you to decide within yourselves what is going to be your attitude. The President General in his remarks some time ago said that any one who desired to become a leader and a friend of importance he would go that he see out of the association at once. That is the attitude that ought to be maintained: that is the attitude that we hope all of you will maintain, and I will say even more—if there is any officer or member of this association who is afraid to die then they are not fit to live, and if there are any of you who are afraid of the prison bars and who are afraid to enter the gates of death that the Negro race may be advanced, then God grant that you shall lose your lives, not tomorrow, not next day, but if possible, I hope that every one of such persons will die tonight. (Appease.)" HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS Hon. Micheus Garvey spoke as follows: I want to speak for a few minutes on the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Some time this week the Associated Press carried a report eminent from London, which stated that the proclamation of the U. N. L. A. in being broadened throughout Africa through a new, nevertheless old system of wireless communication, and that the Colonial governments are very much disturbed about this negative agitation. The power as it comes to us in its effect is an answer to our critics and our malignity, and to the doubling Thomases who have been worrying us as to the possibility of redefining Africa, asking how we are going to redeem Africa. They have tried to point out to us how impossible it will be to redeem Africa from this end; how impossible it will be for us to transport men to carry out the conquest of Africa. The news in itself is an answer to these cities because it reveals that the Africans are getting ready to take care of themselves (Applauses). The Africans have started to broadcast throughout the entire continent the daily, weekly and monthly activities of the U. N. L. A. and in the space of 24 hours whatsoever is worth while knowing *known* from East to West, from North to South of the great continent of Africa as pertaining to the work of the U. N. L. A. (Applauses). The Mysterious "Drum Wireless" Com- munication Our curious friends, as usual when they get news of that sort, hurried to interview me to find out how much we have over them in the wireless business, as I was so eager to give them the information that they want which they will never get. There are many things that are going to happen that will surpass them one of these days. It were a matter of our talking politics, in being talking about social equality and talking about running a Negro for President, the would not have paid any attention to it, because they know it is impossible, but they become interested because they discover that we are engaged in some scientific method which was not well known to them, and they know well that the control of the world of the future rests with science, with the follower with the case of the pattern that can develop the highest scientific intelligence, and they become billion and over interested in the U.N. I.A. and what we are doing because of this scientific method that is being used in Africa, realizing what advantage they were lacking under an competition with us with the same scientific device. They want to find out how far we were able to outdo them in their workers operations, and that is why they want to find out the methods of this conveyance—how quickly it can be operated, and how it can be conveyed from one part in the other, to see if we have anything over them, as if I was so eager to tell them if it was or was not. The U. N. I. A. No Joke Now what does this prove. It proves that the U. N. I. A. is no joke. Negroes do nothing that other Negroes do. Now I did not print that ASPIRIN Say "Bayer" and Insist!

GENERAL NOTICE TO MEMBERS Without Prejudice; This Is to Inform One and All That MR. ELIE GARCIA Is No Longer Officially Connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association All persons to whom Mr. Garcia has issued construction loan bonds or receipts or conversed with for the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to communicate at once with Complaint Department, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 153th Street, New York. Every Night for the Month of April at 8:30 o'Clock Starting Wednesday Night, April 11th, and Continuing to Monday Night, the 30th A New Subject for Discussion Every Night COME AND HEAR ALL ABOUT THE NEGRO Past, Present and of the Future BRILLIANT SPEAKERS EVERY NIGHT These meetings will be held by the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Hon. Marcus Garvey, Sir William Sherrill, Sir Robert Poston, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis Will Be the Principal Speakers for the Month, Assisted by Other Prominent Leaders COME OUT EVERY NIGHT AT 8:15 bit of news; that news same, direct from London, and you know how much the white newspapers love me — that if it did not come from London you would not have seen it there. The fact that London paid so much attention to it and that Europe is so much disturbed as to give this bit of information that has now made a circuit of the world; shows that the U. N. I. A. has them pulling. The entire continent of Africa, has got the program of the U. N. I. A. (Applause). And even though they have suppressed the Negro, World in French Africa, in British Africa; in Italian Africa, and Portuguese Africa, in Africa, the Africans are conveying the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association through their own methods of communication. That has made possible the educating of the whole continent and the deocrines, of this association, through the moral and financial support you have given to this association for five years. But they have not seen anything yet. The information has find gone aboard. What will happen when the information is well assimilated? What will happen when the people will have been prepared for the carrying out of the purpose, and the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? If we have been able to do that much in five years, we can rest assured that in another quarter of a century the whole continent of Africa will be one for the cause of the Red, the Black and the Green. Men may soff at us today, but we feel proud of ourselves that we are laying the foundation for a permanent civilization that shall live and exist for evermore. The foundation that we are laying now is one for which future generations will bless us; but we must exercise patience; that is To know how good a cigarette really can be made you must try a LUCKY STRIKE "IT'S TOASTED" not a quality that we find in everybody, and naturally you are not going to find it in the majority of Negroes. Hundreds and thousands of us started to come together two or three years ago; thousands and thousands of us crowded ourselves into Liberty.

NEW YORK, APRIL 14, 1923 No. 9 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. "DEFENSE OF FREE SPEECH" SUCH is the title of an interesting letter that we received a month ago. We print and answer it because we have received many letters and articles written in a similar vein and because it is the most powerful statement of the new school of Negro free thinkers that has come to our notice. The letter follows: DEFENCE OF FREE SPEECH. Superstition has ears more deaf than adders to hear the voice of any true reason.—Ingersoll. Mr. John M. Bruce, New York City. Dear Sir—For some years I have been an enthusiastic reader of the Bruce Grit column, and derived great pleasure from so doing. It has been a great source of inspiration and enthusiasm to me, and whenever The Negro World appeared without the column I felt like one feels when he sees the unmillion pass his house without stopping when he is expecting a letter from a dear friend. When he is somewhat dismayed after "wanting" the Passing Show" in the Negro Times, he does not doubt like a死 felts with cold water thrown on film. The column is really so openly humiliating, I think that the space in colored papers should be utilized in spreading their own propaganda, as the white man has a monopoly on all sources for spreading his own, among which the chief is the Christian religion. That is how Lothrop Stoddard term it in his "Rising Tide of Color," so if there is any mistake about it, the white folks made it. There is so much more valuable work for your wisdom and pen. Let them fight their battle out between themselves; they will be calling on you or some one of your relatives in due time to extricate them from another real battle, and after the war in over they will show their appreciation by swapping them to the nearest limb like they did many of the soldiers who fought in the last war. I cannot make myself believe that you really take the Bible seriously, but if such is the case, allow me here to express my sympathy for you. The Negro has become weary over the name of Jesus Christ—that is the same something medicine that they fed him on during the long, weary years of slavery. When Jesus Christ was born Rome was ruling over practically all the civilized lands, she had her writers and philosophers in all important countries. His it ever occurs that you have been taken on these miseries and it is to Jesus Christ! All the information we have had of him is to be found in the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ was a Jow present, and nobody knows what day he was born on, as the poor people in those days kept no record. He was advocating equality of rights, and let me say here that he had very little or nothing to do with Christianity! Instruct or send him to prison, as was Debs in this country, the ruling class of Rome had him crucified, as they usually did their rebellious subjects, and 200 or 300 years later the crufty Roman priests compiled a New Testament and told the world that Jews had crucified a god. Even though he had the power of God, I maintain that life advice to men to desert their wives and families to follow him was bad advice. Then, too, I have become a little skeptical about following white men around, especially after perusing the last 300 years of American history. I am afraid a man whose faith is based on the Bible will not lead me in the direction that I would like to good prefer a leader of my own species. Moreover, he may dart into some doxyre, closing dame in my face, and tell me, "Hittite shift shit come, but no farther" (President Lowell, for instance) I have talked with many Negroes who are staunch believers with an effort to get them into some updift movement. What is the use? they ask. Why not travel the path of least resistance? We will get our reward in heaven, they add, Jesus knows what is best. You said, in speaking of the Bishop and Dr. Grant: "Both these gentlemen were created by the Almighty God, and were made, like all of us, a little lower than the angels." Will you give us a little more information and tell us just how high these angels are and, where they dwelt, and how much lower man is than they, and who has seen any of these heavenly angels? There seems to be a skeleton hiding in the ecclesiastical closet of the Christian. He seems to think that his religion will not stand the searchlight of the scientist. He thinks his religion is too sacred to be discussed pro and con. When controversies arise, not unlike the war lords and their creature, Jehovah, the Christian Jesus, is found in land that medieval, tyrannical against free speech and free thinking he has been at all, it proves that the Christian nations have been the greatest bursters of human flesh. The whole world is their slaughter house and all nations are their victims. They have drenched all lands in the fears of mothers and baptized them in the blood of their sons and brothers. We print and comment upon the foregoing letter because it is a powerful and telling statement of the irreligion that is now taking possession of the new Negro. The white man is getting skeptical, agnostic and irreligious, and the colored brother is following suit. We take up and answer the letter because there are so many historical and psychological errors in it common to men who have not made a careful study of the history of civilization and the cultural history of mankind. There are six misstatements and six misconceptions that we desire to correct. MISSTATEMENT NO. 1. Mr. Williamson says: "The white man has a monopoly on all sources for spreading his own propaganda, among which the chief is the Christian religion." It is true that a great many white men as well as a great many black men have used the Christian religion as a horse upon which to ride into soft jobs, social prestige and political power. We are all aware of the fact that while there have been consecrated and sincere colored preachers like John Jasper, George Washington Lee, Pastor Dixon, Bishop Daniel Payne and Bishop Hood, who preached the gospel because they believed in it, there also have been colored grafters; too light for heavy work and too heavy for light work, who have used preaching the gospel as a short cut to an easy living and popularity. White clergymen and missionaries have done the same for centuries, and priests of other races have done the same for ages. But the fact that men have used the Christian religion, as they have used other religions, as a horse or hobby does not affect the worth and value of its fundamental principles and basic conceptions. Then we must remember that some of the men who struck the hardest blows at the slavery of Africans in the nineteenth century were clerygmen like Bishop Wilberforce, Samuel Jay, Theodore Parker, Thomas Starr King, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Rev. Leonard Jocelyn Bacon and Henry Ward Beecher, or ardent champions of Christianity like Chinese Gordon. MINSTATEMENT NO. 2 Mr. Williamson again says: "I cannot make myself believe that you really take the Bible seriously, but if such be the case, allow me here to express my sympathy for you." This statement indicates that Mr. Williamson has never read the Bible "seriously" and has never studied human history "seriously." If he had read the Bible "seriously" he would have admired the philosophy of Job and Ecclesiastes, the practical wisdom of Proverbs, the poetry of the Psalms, the eloquence of Isaiah, the story of Ruth and Naomi, the brilliant narratives and graphic descriptions of the Four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, and the logic, rhetoric, perservid eloquence and heroic personality of Paul. If Mr. Williamson had made a thorough study of the history of civilization he would have discovered that of the great books that come down from antiquity the Bible alone has exerted an influence fully as great as, if not greater than, the combined influence of Homer's "Iliad," the dramas of Sophocles, Eschylus and Euripides, the histories of Herodotus and Thucydides, the dialogues of Plato, the "Memorabilia" of Xenophon, the metaphysics, poetics, ethics and politics of Aristotle, the philippics of Demoshenes, Vergil "Eueid," the odes of Horace, Caesar's "Commentaries" and Cicero's orations. The four cultural forces that transformed the savages and barbarians who roamed the forests of Scandinavia, Germany, Gaul and Britain into the capable and efficient Caucasian who today holds his hands upon the throttle valves of power were Greek philosophy, literature and art, Roman law and government, Arabian science and mathematics and the Christian religion. Whether a man is an atheist, skeptic, agnostic or what not; whether he disbelieves or believes in Christianity, whether he regards the Bible as philosophy or poetry, he must recognize the Bible as a powerful group and collection of books, as a great literature, which has profoundly modified and shaped civilization. MISSTATEMENT NO. 3 Mr. Williams says that after the death of Christ "two or three hundred" cases later the crafty "Koman priests compiled a N-ment and told the world that Jews had crucified a god." We have read the works of some of the atheists, skeptics andagnostics who have become famous for attacking Christianity, but this if the first time that we have read that the New Testament, first written in Greek, was compiled by "crafty Roman priests." We are always looking for new light and information, and we would be very grateful to Mr. Williamson if he would quote the authorities or original sources from which he made that discovery. He has a golden opportunity to win fame as an intellectual discoverer and explorer here and secure invitations to deliver courses of lectures in American and foreign universities. THE CAUCASIAN MINSTATEMENT NO. 4 Mr. Williamson says again: "Then, too, I have become a little skeptical about following white men around, especially after perusing the last three hundred years of American history." We believe that the U. N. L. A. has done a world of good in awakening race consciousness, race pride, self-respect and interest in the black man's cultural contributions to civilization among black folk everywhere. At the same time race propaganda can be carried to the point where it injures instead of helps the race it ought to serve. We know of a few Negro preachers, editors and agitators who showed so little discretion and prudence in their agitation that they angered white men and caused black men to be thrown out of good jobs. While there is much in American history that can be criticized and much in America's treatment of the Negro today that has been justly censured by England; Russia, Turkey and Japan, we must be grateful to those Americans who vigorously protested against slavery, placed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments in the Constitution of the United States, permitted the Negro to serve as Lieutenant Governors, Secretaries of State, State Superintendents of Education and State legislators in the South during the Reconstruction days; permitted black men to sit in the House of Representatives and the Senate in the national capital; gave a few millions annually for fifty years to help Negro colleges, industrial schools and churches; permitted Negro students to win athletic, scholastic, literary and oratorical honors in the leading universities of the North and West; offered efficient Negroes good jobs and patronized capable colored physicians, dentists, lawyers, caterers, tailors and tonsorial artists. Just as there are good, bad and indifferent black men, so there are good, bad and indifferent white men. And the fact that there are many bad white men should not blind us to the fact that there are some good white men. It always pays to be just and fair. Mr. Williamson again says: "If history proves anything at all it proves that the Christian nations have been the greatest butchers of human flesh." We would like Mr. Williamson to read the history of the Huns, of Mohammedanism, of the Mongolian and Tartar tribes that swept over Asia and Europe during the Middle Ages and of the Turks' massacre of the Armenians and Greeks during the past thirty years, and then come back with a statement. Mr. Williamson says of Christianity: "There has been no revelation. The whole thing is only a fabrication manufactured by the crafty priests and sanctioned by the ruling class to appease the great majority and make them contented to be enslaved and exploited by the small minority." Now, if Mr. Williamson had made a thorough study of the rise of Christianity he would have discovered that Christianity did not originate among the crafty priests and ruling class of Judacus or Rome, for that was the class that crucified Jesus, of Nazareth and persecuted His followers. Jesus was a humble carpenter who possessed philosophic insight, poetic vision and a magnetic personality, who promoted His gospel among the bumble gentiles and fellowmen of Judah, by the highways province. His thrust left not even a single on the airports of the highways Roman empire. For nearly three hundred years His followers were largely recruited from the common people. Roman priests and Roman rulers tried in vain to stay that rising tide. The early Christians were forced to worship at night in the catacombs of Rome. They were thrown to the lions in the Coliseum of Rome. They were burnt alive at the stake. But Christianity was like the incoming of the tides of the ocean, rising higher and higher. Finally it became such a force that it was recognized and accepted by Emperor Constantine of Rome. Then, when the barbarians swept over to the Roman frontiers and conquered Rome, they were overawed and conquered by Roman civilization as embodied in the Roman Catholic Church, and they accepted Christianity. Then Christian missionaries traveled all over Europe and the British Isles. One by one the fierce German, Gallic and Celtic tribes threw away their idols and accepted Christianity. Christianity blended with Greek, Roman and Arabian civilizations, tamed somewhat the original barbarity of the Teuton and Celt, and, except in some of the Southern States of America, the Congo and South Africa, transformed a savage into the semblance of a civilized man. While much in Christian theology and in the conduct and character of Christian priests and clergymen could be improved, we must remember that a religion like Christianity, Mohammedanism, Buddhism and Confucianism, which appeals powerfully to millions of men, derives its power not from the error but from the truth that it contains and because there is something in it which appeals powerfully to what is basic and fundamental in man. As we said in our Easter message, "Andrew D. White in his 'Warfare of Science with Theology' showed that theology rather than religion was the foe and arch-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." Religion is a spiritual fact, a spiritual experience. Theology is the intellectual interpretation and explanation of that fact in terms of the prevailing philosophy. Theologies 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." Mr. Williamson has the right to project his own philosophy of history on the screen, but in being original he should not lose sight of historical accuracy and historical facts. W. J. FERRIS. ice at 5 p.m. the parade falls in in front of *Liberty Hall*. First the band, about eleven pieces strong, then the officers and man of the legion, next comtese the Black Cross Nurse, a unit that can't be Seaten anywhere in China; the motor corp holds the next column distance. I must admit that this unit is drawing much attention. It is composed of all young, smart, nice looking girls. There are the Boy Scouts. There are the girls in the military the colony inspects the parade, after which they are dismissed. The race-loying Negroes of Banes have built up a library division. It's only them to keep together, and so continue to be the model division of Cuba. Thanking you for space, I am Editor of The Negro World; Since the attack made upon our association by those eight deluded parasites in New York, we have been watching very minutely what would be the outcome. My thoughts go back to Judas after he had accomplished his dastardly aim, relief came only through sulcide. No one can say to these men I've tested ye be found fighting against God. We the new Negroes of this age, [see] that the U. N. I. A. is an inspiration. I sometimes point a mental picture of a sinner and a Negro. I see the sinner drifting along through life, a slave of every civil passion, burdened with the consciousness of years spent in vain, an outcast from the presence of his maker, a great gulf between him and his God, no hope for the future, no light for the present, an object of pity. Then comes the Gospel of the Man of gallice; he stops and insists, he hears a voice saying, "I died for thee." I am this dark world's light, look unto Me my thorny shall race and all thy days be bright." He sees the pierced hands and hears the glorious promise, "I go to prepare a place for you." He believes and from thence begins to live for a purpose. A new day has verily dawned for that poor sinner. "I AM AN AMERICAN" To the Editor of The Negro World: Sir-I believe in the cultural influence exerted by the Negro World not because it has struck a new note in Negro journalism but on account of its sincerity, fearlessness and clean-cut policy. In spite of watchfulness and care there will, however, occur lapses in the vigilance of those whose duty it is to maintain the principles laid down without impairing the usefulness of a paper that has been a forum on the big issues of the day, racial and otherwise. The larger spirit of co-operation and unity which it has brought about have been successful through the new standards set in expression and the use of language representative of the best that is in our group; it is for this purpose that I shall call attention to words and sentences in the contributed articles of correspondents not calculated to uphold the ideal. Now I look at the Negro, for centuries held in slavery, taught to believe himself made specially to be a servant to his fellowmen, to believe a Dyline curse posts forever upon his head, cut off from the historic past of his ancestors; watch him as he drifts along the burden-bearer of mankind, none to cheet, none to lead, none to direct. See him exploited and ill-treated age in and age out; his women taken from him and abused; no avenues, along which to develop, closed doors on every hand, no ray of hope; until Tarvey, the god of God, comes, and with charion voice exclaims, "Segroes of the world, God made you men, as men you have had a past, and as men launch out for the future." The voice has awakened him from his ethereus, and "Believing in God, he has helped henceforth life a life that will reflect the power of the Maker and his God. Can such a movement perish, can a few selfish scoundrels destroy such an inspiration? No, for from this race shall come, forth princes to teach to the natives of the earth the true principles of the doctrine of the lowly man of Galilee. Fight on Garvey, fight on Ferris, light Sherrill, fight on all ye lead; your reward is before you, your followers are behind you. The Hon. Marcus Garvey with Herculean efforts has taught us all to respect "Negro" and at all times and everywhere to show a decided rementment against the use personally or written against "nigger"; it is to be regretted that this obnoxious word is occurring in the Negro World frequently; this practice should cease immediately. There is no desire to dictate to the editor when to use the blue penicill; it should be used when the occasion demands, as in all instances where the writer falls to measure up to the required standards. In the Negro World for Saturday, April 7. in an article entitled "I Am an American," by Eric D. Walrond, these words describe the conditions of the unfortunate people of one section of Habaña: "In dark shadowy halls, black folk, filicer, leprous, unwashed, victims of the hideous wiles of bruteria, sang and crooned, and rocked their knees while they fondled statuettes of the Virgin." At this juncture, dear air, we want to say a word, of congratulation to the Jamaica Divisions: We note with much joy the rapid strider the Port Antonio Division is making in membership and the prominent men who are identify- ing with the Jamaica Benei Division wishes well all Jamaica for the U. N. J. A. durée 1993. I admire Mr. Walraod and have read most of his articles with the keenest pleasure. Is it not possible that his facile pen would paint or describe these elements more as conditions resultant from a wrong standard of living, lack of knowledge, economic oppression, financial conditions, rather than a natural thing to be expected by the visitor to these parts of the world? There is no desire to enter into a controversy and that is why I suggest a possible reform in writing about any people. We are glad to report, Mr. Editor, as an encouragement to our leaders, and all our co-workers in this cause, that the Banes Division is alive, and is as determined as if the past to do its bit. Many of our male members have left this locality in search of employment, but those that are left mean, without the shadow of a doubt, "The courierer." Any stranger coming to Banes up the first Sunday of any month would see something long to be remembered. On first Sunday there is a church parade called the unformed units, looking clean and orderly by their various milieu. After the more I take great pleasure in acknowledging the Negro World a paper where a general and moral education is disseminated; the only one of its kind in a class by itself. Thanking you for your work. Very truly yours. A Pretty Wedding On March 18, 18t. St. John's Presbyterian Episcopal Mission, this day, dug out in the burying of holy martyrs Miss Florence A. Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wilkins, of Southampton avenue, in John Mason's more of Holiday street, Jersey City, N. J., by the Rey. Scott. Wood in the presence of a select gathering of the friends of the bride and bridgroom. The bride was becomingly gowned and carried the usual bouquet of flowers and was attended by two pretty bridesmaids. The groom wore the regulation dress suit and white kid glove and an expression of happiness on his face that was quite noticeable. He answered all the questions of the officiating clergyman in a strong robust voice and at the end of the service claimed his bride with the eagerness of a man who had made up his mind to keep her until "death do us part." The sweet faced little woman was quite as eager to be claimed as the groom was to claim her for, when the final words were spoken, her face suffused, with smiles--her joy complete in pretty wedding simple in all its details, yet impressive. The bride is a native of Demerara, the groom an American. He was the proudest man in the church,-knowing he did that he had won a prize in the lottery of love of great value. Mrs. Marilman is a young woman of fine mental powers and an artisan of no mean abilities. The couple are splendidly matched and their future gives promise of being one long continued period of domestic bliss and happiness. Among the guests at the wedding and the generous feast which followed at the home of the bride's parents were: Mr. and Mrs. W. Walton, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Bruce, Mrs. Evelyn H. Durham, Mr. and Mrs. C. Devonish, M. A. Devonish, Mrs. Clarice Mapp, Miss O. Mapp, Miss C. Earle, Miss P. Chase, Mrs. H. Wilson, Mrs. Leacock, Messrs. Rupert and Reginald Headley and Dr. G. Archer. A splendid collation, consisting of all the delicacies of the season, from the weight of which the table fairly sagged, was served during the evening between dances, in which the younger set indulged until the wee small hours. The couple was toasted in short remarks by J. E. Bruce of The Negro World, who was called on to add a word to the many good things that were being said, and C. E. Wilson, brother of the bride, and others. "Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny." "I am weary of hearing always of Aristides the just," was the expression of one who plotted for that patriot's banishment and if a man's character he in itself a protest against abounding corruption he will soon be assulted by some one in the very things in which he is most eminent. The world's plan is to throw mud enough in the sure confidence that some of it will stick and its volatiles keep on selling lies because they know that a falsely will travel a hundred miles while truth is drawing on its boots. What then? Shall we give over laboring for the welfare of our race and say with Moses at Kilroth, "Kill me, I pray thee, out of hand or with Elijah under the jumper tree, O Lord?" Nay, let us stay and keep the ground and stand bravely out for the right, the true and the good. Has He not said: "Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you?" ILLUMINATING LECTURE ON THE ORIGIN, NATURE AND GROWTH OF CRIMINAL LAW - THE MEANING OF THE TERM LAW IN ITS GENERAL SENSE The Story of the Evolution From the Vengeance of the Savage to the Humanity of the Suspended Sentence—Private Vengeance, Hebrew Law, English Law and Moral Cure of Criminals Portrayed in a Masterly Manner THE MEANING OF THE TERM LAW IN ITS GENERAL SENSE. It will be seen that by science we ascertain the basic laws constituting the Order of the Universe, upon which by convention humanity frames the legal rule constituting the Order of Society. Law in its widest sense is a rule of action prescribed by a superior and which the Inferior is bound to obey, and includes: 1. The LAW ETERNAL, by which the Supreme Reason and Will govern the entire universe. 2. The NATURAL LAW, which is the manifestation of the LAW ETERNAL through the attributes and operations of created beings. Law, in its technical or political sense, is a rule of civil conduct, prescribed by competent political authority, commanding certain things as necessary to and forbidding other certain things as inconsistent with the peace and order of society and inhibits: 3. The POSITIVE LAW, which is a rule prescribed to rational creatures for the regulation of their voluntary conduct; 4. The HUMAN LAW, which is the Positive Law prescribed by man for his own government or that of other men; 5. The law in its technical or political sense, which is the HUMAN LAW, imposed by sovereign States upon themselves or upon their citizens or subjects for the protection of legal rights and the prevention or redress of legal wrongs. It is to the statement and explanation of law in its po- cal course and office lectures are de- tored. OF THE FUNDAMENTAL DIVISIONS OF THE LAW Rights wherein persons as against persons, and exercisable over persons and things. As persons are public or priv- ate, rights also are public or priva- tive, and the law which asserts or vindicates them is therefore public or private. Hence, in classifying the law into its great fundamental deviations the most natural arrangement distributes the whole body of the law into four parts. I. THE LAW OF PRIVATE RIGHTS. II. THE LAW OF PRIVATE WRONGS AND REMEDIES. III. THE LAW OF PUBLIC RIGHTS. IV. THE LAW OF PUBLIC WRONGS AND REMEDIES. The last item of this classification includes crimes and misdeeds, which may be defined as follows: "As the commission or omission of an act which the law forbids or commands on the ground of public policy and under pain of a punishment to be imposed by the state in a proceeding in its own name." On the Origin, Nature and Growth of Criminal Law "The legal rule of today is the best link in an historical series." That our laws, in their present form, have their roots in the remotest past, and have been a gradual development from age to age, is a truth supported by such abundant and still accumulating ex- BISHOP I.

That a process of evolution, or something akin to it, has taken place in the development of all human institutions becomes ever a more inevitable conclusion, as the universal testimony touching it continues to shame in. That this process possesses an historical continuity, and has gone on "as if in obedience to a natural law, is the conviction of Spencer, Maine Stubbs, Freeman, and other great students of human history. There has been an order and sequence of movement in the course of human process, testifying that "the reign of law" is everywhere, and that the uniform action of "natural law" holds not only in the physical world, but throughout the whole range of human thought and experience. In the history of criminal law this development may be perhaps more clearly traced than in any other department of jurisprudence, since wrongs or crimes claimed the attention of primitive man long before he had begun to think of the possibility of contracts, of local law or justice for their violation. The authorities agree that there have been three well-marked stages in the evolution of criminal law; (1) the era of vengeance; (2) the stage at which vengeance is yielding place to justice; (3) the time when justice comes to be seasoned by mercy and humanity. The first laws which man makes deal with murder, and theft, and other offences against the rights of his fellow man which we call crimes. For instance, the Anglo-Saxon laws show that in judicial proceedings the only topics of general importance dealt with in that era were man-slaying, wounding and cattle stirling. The gradual advance from the crude commerce of savage tribes, through many stages of progress, to the highly complex system of today, has left footprints on its way which we can still discover, and so retrace the path along which the development has come. It was a saying of Plato that past time is the maker of states, and it is no less true that past time is the maker of laws. To put it in another way laws are not made they grow. "Formal legislation comes late in the history of most legal systems. Law is generated in other ways which seem unreconcilable with anything like legislation. No mental attitude is more common than that which regards law as a natural product, discoverable by a diligent investigator much in the same way as the facts of science or the principles of mathematics. The introductory portions of Jurinian Institutes are certainly written from this point of view, which may be also described, without much infness, as the point of view of German jurisprudence" (Art. law, Essay, part 1887). "It is a matter of historical observation that long before any supreme political authority has come into being a sense of practical rules determining the main relations of family life, the conditions of ownership, the punishment of the most violent forms of moral wrongdoing, and the adjustment of contracts. The mode in which such rules are formulated seems to be the following. A spontaneous practice is first followed, and if good and useful in general copied and over again the process is an habit and association always under the nutrition of an old and familiar practice easier than inventing a new and method of." (Ames, Science of Law, 40) Law is evolved out of custom, which grown up spontaneously takes form by degrees, and is ultimately crystallized by a written law. The process is manifestly the work of age. (There is also at times a relapse or reversion to primitive custom. An instance of this exceptional manifestation is seen in the practice of "lynching" which exists in the southern part of the United States. It is a return to the primitive mode of administering justice.) "Codes succeed customary law at certain stages of progress in each community. Laws engraven on tablets and published to the people take the place of images." (Maine's Ancient Law, 15.) "The Roman Code embodied in the existing customs of the Roman people" (Maine's Ancient Law, 18), and it is now well established that the laws of Solon and Lycurge, and other famous law-givers of antiquity, were not law originating with them, but ceded, in which they consolidated the practices and customs of the people which they found established in their days. sid our own King Alfred "collected, It is said, the various customs that he sound dispersed in the kingdom, and signed and disregarded them into one uniform system or code of laws in the Dome-bee or, Liber Judicialia." (IV, Stephen Conn. 478.) The pionition of justice has not yet dawned on the mind of primitive man. If he were asked to define his ill- lawer would resemble the Burcham savage's reply to the traveler who asked him his notion of goodness. When the question was put to him, at first he was much puzzled, but finally he answered: "To be good is to possess a wife and cows and to deceive one's neighbor's wife and cows." The savage's notion of law and justice corresponds to his huge of mental development, and in these matters he has the mind of a child. The conception of law is foreign to Homer. The later words for it (nomos, retra) are unknown, and the term which he uses merely mean "custom." "Dike." Homer's word for "custom," in later times came, to mean law, order, right. "Dikesis" is "vengence," and "dikephoesis" is "an invenger." But in Plato's day "dikalosune" had come to mean "justice," "h righteousness." Judicial functions are in the hands of elders who "have to do with auits" and "uphold judgments." "On such matters as the compensation in cases of homicide it is evident that there are no rules, but merely a feeling created by use and wont, that the relatives of the slain man should be willing to accept payment." (Art. Homer, Encyc. Brit., XII, 112.) The illusion here is doubtless to the trial scene on the shield of Achilles, to which reference is made hereafter. Possessing no notion of justice or law neither has the savage any notion of crime in the modern sense. The idea of crime manifestly can arise only in a community possessing some degree of social organization and public opinion and some dawning sense for law and justice. But what the savage does possess is a thirst for vengeance when he is wronged, and to gratify this part of his religion. Vengeance is a religious duty. The man who fails to avenge his slain kinsman's death is dishonored and disgraced in the eyes of gods and men. The Roman citizen who failed to avenge his kinsman's death could not share in his inheritance. "Among all primitive peoples there are certain offenses against piety, especially bloodshed within the kin, when are regarded as properly inexplicable; the offender must die or become an outlaw. The god of the kin appears as vindicator of this law he demands the life of the culprit. If the kinsman refuse, they share the guilt. Thus the execution of the criminal assumes the character of a religious action. If the true culprit cannot be found, the kinded as a whole bear the guilt until they or the guilty man himself find a substitute." (Ennecro Britt, art. Sacrifice). Greek tragedy offers ample evidence of the existence of these principles. This vengeance is the root from which one criminal Jurisdiction springs. "Criminal law is the part of justice outlawed of vengeance, which from being with some animals has highest tribes a boundless passion, was by degrees restrained, required a definite form, and became the law of repellation—an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." (Enneye, Reg., VIII, 621). Vengeance and justice are not distinguishable in the mind of the savage. He has one word for both, and he would seem that the object of legal regulation was at first not so much to punish the offender as to restrain and mitigate the vengeful inflated by the aggrieved party. (Lohaske, "Origin of Civilization," 317.) With the primitive man the penalty of death was the usual and all but universal mode of vengeance or punishment for grave offenses. The savage does not measure his blows. In a community advancing toward civilization it becomes necessary in the public interest to place this boundless passion mobile" restraint. One consideration, doubles, is that the wholeighting strength of the tribe is needed to meet external foes, and it is against the general interest of the community to waste it in internal disputes, so the "tex tailions" emerges. The amount of legal revenge, if I may so call it, is often strictly regulated, even where we should least expect to find such limitations." Climbback, "Origin of civilization", 215. The transition is easy from exact regulation to some mode of commutation. The practical difficulties of administering the "tex tailions" in the case, for instance, of a one-eyed or toothless man be greed. In the Anglo-Saxon laws of Ring the there is a complete tariff of prices for every offense from the slaying of an "adwaldman" down to striking of the nail of the little finger of an ordinary citizen, the price of which wagone shilting. "Compensation to the injured party is the basis of the primitive administration of justice, and the party himself levies execution." (Walker's International Law, 32) Private Vengeance But vengeance at first has no relation to criminal law. It was a personal matter in which the aggressor and the victim alone were interested, and with which society was not concerned. At a later stage we find that any crime even murder, might be attained by such a sum of money as satisfied the representative of the murdered man. But this practice implies that the community in which it is found in operation has advanced far beyond the primitive condition of savagery and has attained a certain degree of social and political organization. Beginning with vengeance, unchecked and unlimited, the next step is a Lubbock says, to limit the vengeance, which is done at first by the lex tollonia. The idea of compensation or atonement is manifestly a natural development from the lex tollonia, which would gradually become more and more difficult of application as society grew, more complex. The principle of retaliation has always had a strong hold on the human mind. In Greek as well as Hebrew literature this is very evident. It is commented on by Aristotle in the Ethics, as follows: "Now, some have held that the one form of all justice is retaliation. This was the opinion of the Fythagoreans, who defined justice as exact retaliation, without any further qualification. But the conception of retaliation will not suit either distributive or corrective justice. And yet they would have it that it is this that is meant by Rhadamanthian justice." "When a man suffers that which he hath done Then upright justice shows herself." *Taking the lex talionis as the first well marked step in advance from unlimited vengeance, the next is atonement or compensation, which comes into operation universally at a certain stage of human progress. At first it is optional with the kindred of a slain man whether or not to accept compensation. It is a great gain where it has become established that the blood avenger is not dishonored by accepting it; and it is a further advance still when the acceptance is made compulsory. One of the laws of King Alfred provides for the enforcement of compensation and prohibit: retaliation until there has been absolute default in making atonement. Professor Muirhoad tells us that "the sequence of methods in publishing crime disclosed by Roman history is: (1) private revenge, (2) sacral atonement, (3) public or private penalty," and he adds that the same sequence is observable in the laws of other nations. Dealing with the early history of criminal law in Rome, Maine divides it into four stages: "Understanding that the conception of crime, as distinguished from that of wrong-or tort, and from that of sin, involves the idea of injury to the state or collective community, we first find that the commonwealth, in literal conformity with the conception itself, interposed directly and by isolated acts to average itself on the authors of the evil which it had suffered. This is the point from which we start; each indictment is now a bill of punish and penalties, a special law naming the criminal and prescribing his punishment. A second step is accomplished when the multiplicity of crimes compels the legislature to delegate its powers to particular questiones or commissions, each of which is deputed to investigate a particular accusation, and, if it be proved, to punish the particular offender. Yet another movement is made when the legislature, instead of warring for the alleged commission of a crime as the occasion of appointing a quasieperiodically nominates commissions like the questiones parciali and the duunvim perdurallionis on the chance of certain classes of crimes being committed and in the expectation that they will be perpetrated. The last stage is reached when the questions from being periodical or occasional become permanent bonches and crucified named in the particular law nominating the commission, are directed to be chosen through all future time in a particular way and from a particular class, and when certain acts are described in general language and declared to be crimes to be visited in the event of their perpetration with specified penalties appropriate to each description" (Mandala Ancient Law) Hebrew Laws History and literature abound with light upon this subject. We have the blood avenger accorded a recognized legal and official status in the provisions regarding the cities of refuge provided by Mosque. Canon Mogley says that Mosques borrowed this blood from an unwritten law of the East, and it is probably an adaptation of the principle of "sanctuary" which is found among all races of men, to the circumstances of the Israelites entering a new land which are yet possessed for them no recognized sanctuaries or place of refuge. The regulations disclose the stage of development at which the criminal law of Israel then stood. There is the lex talibans and there is compensation. The provisions of "Cities for refuge from the avenger that the manslayer die not until he stands before the congregation in judgment" (Numbers xxxv, 12.) Again, in case of murder, no compensation is to be allowed. "We shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death, but he shall surely be put to death" (Numbers xxxv, 31.) And, on the other hand, no compensation should be exacted from him who was found entitled to the protection of the City of refuge, showing that the distinction between murder and manslaughter was at this time and by this people well recognized, which is not the case with primitive man, his only rule is "a life for a life." In the trial scene depicted on the shield of Achilles Homer gives us a glimpse of the administration of Justice in Greek society at a primitive or very early stage. A criminal suit is represented as being in progress. The parties plead on either side. The scene represents "two men striving about the blood price of a man slain, the one grown that he had paid full, expounding to the people, but the other Denied that he had received aught, and each was fain to obtain consummation on the word of his witness, and the folk were cheering both, as they took part on either side, and the heralds kept order among the folk, while the elders, our polished stones, were sitting in the Sacred Circle, and holding in their hands staves from the boud-voiced heralds. Then before the people they rose up and gave judgment, each in turn, and in the midst lay two talents of gold to be given to him who should plead among them most rightfully. Compare: this stage of civilization with that represented in the Mosaic provisions for the Cities of Retains. In the Hebrew-Record we have the blood-avenger with his right of revenge explicitly recognised. In the Greek there is the same party to the proceedings, only he is not seeking PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL AND BOOKER WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THE MILITARY MILITARY MILITARY No. 3 to 13 West 136th Street, New York City If you are in the city and want a good place to live and eat, or if you intend coming to the city and want good accommodations—the PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL is the place for you.

Compensation for the slain man is part of the recognized procedure in Greece, but not in Israel. In Israel if it is murder, the slayer must die; if it is not murder he is absolutely protected in the City of Refuge. The Greeks and Hebrew laws are both based on the lex tailiens, and are modifications of it. What a hold the principles of vengeance had on the Greek mind we see, again in Plato, Professor Jowett notes it as a defect in Plato's criminal jurisprudence, that he remits the punishment when the offender has obtained forgiveness of the murdered person's kindred, as if the crime were a personal affair between individuals, and not an offense against the state. **English Law** Coming to our own legal history, Sir Frederick Pollock tells us that the Anglo-American law of other German laws we find that the idea of wrong to a person or his kindred is still primary, and that of the offence against the commonwealth secondary even in the graved cases." "Personal injury is, in the first place, a cause for feud, of private war between the kindred of the wrongdoers and of the person wronged. But the feud may be appeased by the acceptance of a compensation. Some kind of abstinence was probably resorted to and from a very early period to fix the amount. The next stage is a scale of compensation, fixed by custom or enactment, for death or minor injuries, which may be graduated according to the rank of the person injured. Such a scale may well exist for a time without any positive duty of the kindred to accept the compensation if offered. It may serve only the purpose of saving disputes as to the amount proper to be paid when the parties are disposed to make peace, but this naturally leads to the kindred being first expected by public opinion, and then required by public authority, not to pursue the feud if the proper composition is forthcoming, except in a few extreme cases which also finally disappear. At the same time, the wrong done to an individual extends beyond his family; it is a wrong done to the community (Continued on Page 21.)

PHYLLIS WHEAT UNIVERSAL NEG Siri—As Herodotus 'presented this history to the Greek people for their consideration and, approbation, I likewise present my history to the scattered Ethiopian people throughout the world: This compilation is the 'result of twenty years' research. I was urged to perform this task in order to correct the false views and teachings of modern historians and writers on the subject of the Ethiopian people under the name "Nogro." I have brought to my assistance the most authoritative historians and writers on Africa, Asia and Europe. This work starts with the modern history of Ethiopia, the oldest nation in the world, under the name "Abyssinia." We follow the stream of the Nile, tracing ourselves back more than ten thousands years to the very infarcy of time. We cross over the Red Sea into Asia and over the Mediterranean into Europe. We record the history of the great Ethiopian nations of Africa, Asia and Europe under their various territorial names. We end with the Greek and Roman empires as far as they carried their arms in subjugating the peoples of the three continents. This work is designed to be placed in all our colleges, high schools and editorial offices, as well as in the pulpits of all our churches, that the masses of our people may quickly learn their status—who they were and who they are. Furthermore, the Bible cannot be rightly understood unless one knows the history preceding it and out of which it originated. The work is designed to be placed at the disposal of all our secret borders, that their origin may be known and from what source they sprung, as well as the history of the Christian religion, which occupies a position of pre-eminence among the peoples of the earth today. I remember, some twenty years ago, when the people of the South were saying all manner of things about the black man's inferiority, what he was and what he never could be. T. Thomas Fortune, the founder of the New York Age, stated in that paper: "Why does not some young man answer these people? You can do it, and I believe you can do it with historical proof." These words sank deep into my heart. Although his wish, which is the history, has been a long-time coming, it is here today. Knowing the feelings of the American people in opposition to our having this knowledge, I ask, Would it be risky to trust such a work to an American publisher? Since I feel that it, I am asking my people suggest how such a work may be published by ourselves. Heroicotes, while, he was traveling over the world gathering information and making researches for his history, had not money to publish it after his work had been completed. That is why he donated his work to the people, and they brought it out. And, I am glad to have discovered, you are the same kind of people big people were—Ethiopians. As Christ on the Cross had reached an exalted point in establishing the OF Christian religion, he said: "It is an insatiable. So I can say our ancient history is finished. For the first line up in the modern world are placed historically right among the races of the earth. RICHARD T. COLES. 214 West Eighteenth street, New The advent of spring was celebrated with religious ceremonies and festivals by the ancients. To them the awakening and germinating powers of the earth apparent at the vernal equinox seemed a divine event of the first importance and were eagerly, and zealously observed by them in sacred ceremonies and joyous festivals in worship of the pagan delites who graciously bestowed life and fruitfulness upon the earth. The Egyptians symbolized the relation between Mother Earth and her beautiful and useful frultage beginning at this time of the year by ceremonies in devout worship of Isis and Osiris. In Phrygia Cybele—the Great Mother—and Atys were the delites to whom this season was sacred. In Sidon Astarte and Baal received the solemn and grateful praise of the people for this new beginning of the great miracle of love and life. In Syria Aphrodite "and Adonis formed the divine duality to whom was ascribed the annual return of spring, who were worshiped devoutly by celebrating religious mysteries in grateful appreciation of their indispensable gift of new life to mankind. In Greece, on the 4th of April, the feast of Cybele—or the Megalesia, as it was called—was held, in which plays were performed in honor of Cybele, the daughter of Cedus (heaven) and Terra (earth), variously termed the Great Mother of the Gods, the Great Idean Mother, the Mountain Mother. In Rome the Megalesia, or feast of Cybele, was celebrated on the 4th of April with great fervor, as it was in Greece. These celebrations, mysteries, ceremonies and angels were a manifestation of the human spirit in response to this season of promise of life and its sustenance obvious from the natural phenomena of the awakening earth, covered with its green vegetation and made lovely by bud and blossom after the long sleep of winter. It is founded in the nature of things and is the adaptation of man to its environment. By adding the promise of eternal life to our earthly life modern superstition imposes our Easter upon its pagan progenitors. (Copyright 1823, by Prof. W. H. H. H. H. H. H. H. H.

This is the impression we had on attending the unveiling ceremony of the Walnut Hills Chapter. No. 55, on Sunday, March 11. Truly this was an historical event, marking a most hopeful stage in the growth of the U. N. I. A. in Cincinnati. It is a fact in Nature that she always looks out for her own continuation. For example, the trees by placing their energy in the production of seeds insure that their species will be continued. True to the divine injunction, "Multiply and replenish the earth," the animals take great care that their line shall not become extinct. The wisest thing any organization can do to insure its existence is to train young men and women to carry on the work when those on whom the responsibility now rests shall have been relieved of their charge. It is gratifying to see how well the U. N. I. A. is working along these lines. The Walnut Hills Chapter is the result of the determined efforts of young men to identify themselves actively with the program of the U. N. I. A. Many obstacles were placed in the way, but opposition served only to strengthen their determination, and their labors have been rewarded not only in receiving a charter from the parent body, but also in having a member of the High Comed in the person of His Excellency Rt. Hon. Rulph E. Smith, Third Assistant President General, to unveil the same. The large crowd that assembled, filling to its utmost capacity the spacious auditorium the Gordon Hotel, and the excellent program rendered are sure signs of the chapter's rapid growth. The musical part of the program left nothing to be desired. The Cincinnati Harmony Orchestra was engaged for a recollection and if the wonderfully well in entertaining the audience with classic music, Mr. Edward Gray, first vicepresident of the Cincinnati Division and graduate of the Johnson School of Music, was heard at his best in the rendition of the song "The Red, Black and Green," which brought a demand for an encore from the audience. How Stanley M. R. Cowen, president of the chapter, occupied the chair and in neat speeches introduced the various speakers. The first speaker was Mr. R. Gilbert Simpson, former executive secretary of the Cincinnati Division. He explained the aims and objects of the association and made an appeal for memb Mr. W. J. Walton, president of the Cincinnati Business League and general manager of the Liberian Habedasherry Company, was the next speaker. He showed the need of unity and cooperation and the necessity of Negroes senturing out into the field of business. The principal speaker was the Hon. Rudolph E.

A. is not made up of a certain class of Negroes, but Negroes all over the world, and in all walks of life can claim membership in the organization. He refuted the charge that the Hoh, Marcus Garvey sought to elevate only West Indian Negroes to official positions by telling where those who constitute the High Executive Council were born. It was clear that these officers come from all parts of the world. The program of the U. N. L. A. is an independent one and Marcus Garvey is the first to teach Negroes that they can engineer a program of their own without any outside help. The groans and prayers of our forbearers rose to God for deliverance, and He sent us Marcus Garvey to point us the way to a brighter day. Universal unity and the building of a government will be the only way the Negroes of the world can hope to improve their condition. Recent discoveries in Africa prove that the black man was once supreme. Like other nations, he fell; but he is again coming into his own. The gouths of the race must be taught to love their own. The practice of giving white dollars to Negro babies should be discontinued and colored dolls substituted. Pictures of eminent Negroes should also take the place of white ones so frequently seen on the walls of Negro homes. Above all, Negroes should cast away all fear and be convinced that they can do something.

IN THE REPUBLIC OF COSTA RICA TO ALL DIVISIONS OF THE U. N. I. A. IN THE REPUBLIC OF COSTA RICA In three days of universal activity with troops and nations, it behoves us as a people to be of the same attitude. In years past Negroes were inactive, but since the creation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Negroes have developed a new life, a different aim and a better hope than that of the post. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is working for the emancipation of 400,000,000 Negroes; is asking Negroes the world over to get together into one solid mass for their own protection; it is must for Negroes to say it can't be done; it must be done, by the help of Almighty Yod. God created us as men, and as men we should do things as other men have done or leave the world. The great white race is seeking daily to control the whole world, and what place will we hold if we remain drone-like? Absolutely nowhere, and that would be a very sad condition. Why, then, should we slight the call of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to unite our forces? Africa, the land of 400,000,000 black souls, must be redeemed. The Pilgrim Fathers did not leave America to the Lord, the Ancient Britain did not leave England to the Lord, but they fought, bled and died for freedom, and Negroes must do likewise if they must be free, for the Lord helps them that help themselves. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has a program to be put over for the interest of each and every Negro, and it is no use sitting quietly waiting on the Lord. There are some who believe that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is for a certain class of Negroes, but it is not so, it is for Negroes the world over. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and its program is the only savior for the Negro race. For the first time I am now appealing to the divisions of the U. X. I. A. along the lines to fall, in line with the Limon Branch, and let's work in unity, peace and love. If all the divisions in this Republic would work together we would do great things. The Port Limon Division is willing to co-operate with the other branches along the line so as to make the U. N. I. A. a success in this Republic. It is quite true that some of the divisions suffer great tensions through men, an leaders, not having honesty, or purpose, but fresh courage should takes, and go ahead. Our great leader, Hon. Marcum Garvey, would be glad I we would organise and keep organised. There are some who criticise the pro- gram of the Universal Negro Improv- ment Association, but to such I would ask, what is a race without a government? The chief criticisers are ministers, and a class calling themselves architects. I would like these so-called aristocrats to take a trip to the Southern part of the United States and tell those Crackers, down there, that they are aristocratic Negroes from Costa Rica. They surely would ask them where they got it from. As for the ministers, every one knows that they are wolves in sheeps' clothing. There was a time in this country when a certain minister would not preach without quoting the words of the Psalmist David. "Princess shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall soon stretch her hands unto God," and from the time the doctrine of the Universa) Negro Improvement Association was made plain in this Republic, that minister stopped preaching about the black race. How strange, the same man that is to help Ethiopia in stretching forth her hands in trying his best to pull down Ethiopia's hands! What was he, a hypocrite? I am now appealing to the Negroes of Limon for the first time to fall in line with the onward march of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is of no use watching and waiting; the U. N. L. A. can not die. When it dies the people die, and as long as there are Negroes in the world the U. N. J. A. will go on. I am urging you to support the various enterprises—groceries Nos. 1 and 2 are our own, and if you don't patronize them no others will; the restaurant and bar also need our support. Don't worry about what the critics may say, they criticize our Lord. Let DuBois, Pickens and Owens continue their way. When they shall have died and be forgotten the name of Marcus Garvey shall be in the memory of the Negro people of the world. Wishing you every good wish, I have the honor to be your obedient servant. J. L. BARNES. Ex-President Tampere (Mex.) Division Port Limon, P. O. Box 61. U. N. I. A. IN CUBA CELE BRATES-MOTHERS' DAY I desire to submit this report, which we trust may be a stimulant to other divisions in this Republic, as it is not possible for us 'always' to visit other divisions in Cuba. Upon keen observation anyone can see that in the Banes division there are a number of our members who seem never to be weary where the cause is concerned. History will fail to record the glorious contribution made by these humble workers in their various fields to Negro progress, but as the years, roll by and they pass off the scent, their children's children as they pass by these remote spots of earth made sacred by their memory will be heard to explain in the words of the poet, "Fashions in this mulled spot is laid some heart once pregnant with celestial fire, hands that the rod of empire might have swayed or waked to ecstasy the living lyre." On Sunday, February 18, a never to be forgotten event took place in Liberty Hall, Rune, in the form of "Mothers' Day" celebration. Our chaplain, Mr. M. Clarke, was appointed chairman of a committee to prepare the program for the day. As it was the first of its kind in this town, anticipation was at boiling point, and on the time appointed the hall was comfortably filled with the most influential element of this municipality. At 2:30 p.m. the chaplain outlined the hymn, "From Greenland's lee Mountains," after which he led the assembly in prayer. A short Scripture lesson was read and then the chaplain in his usual style introduced the chairman of the evening. The chairman then made a few remarks, explaining the meaning of the function, and welcomed all members and friends to a pleasant Sunday afternoon. Time will not allow the giving of details of the program so easily rendered by the children and their parents, but a few items must be mentioned. The program consisted of forty-seven items, and in every recitation and song rendered one could hear words of love and infection, bringing forcibly to the mind the sacred tie that forever exists between a mother and her offspring. "Africa Land," by Miss Hazel Grey was sublime. Master Ferdy Wright did justice to himself in his beautiful recollection, as also Doris Slimmons. "Rock Me to Sleep," by Ielida Armstrong, was followed by a lovely duet by Miss Trout and Mr. Wedderburn, both of the U. N. L.A. choir. A harpite solo was given by Mr. Reid, who kept up his reputation for good singing. Next came "The Better Land," by Master C. Moore and mother, which called, forth lead applause as this youngster in calmness and sincerity queried, "Mother, oh, where is that radiant shore?" while his mother declared in tones that thrilled, "Eve'hoth not seen it," etc. Miss A. Raymond came next with a lovely rendition, asking her loving mother not to be weary of her, for a soul has been intrusted to her keeping "Little Jim," by Miss Rhoden, war very well received and recitations by Master H. Clarke and H. Fletcher scored applause. A trio, "Meet Me There," was particularly delightful. Miss F. Grey came next with a solo, followed by a trio, "Golden Harp." Last was a quartet, singing "She Has Done What She Could." The president then thanked all for their interest, and the National Anthem was sung. A better time could not have been had anywhere. Thanking you for space, your fraternity, R. R. P. BLAKE. U. N. I. A. OF PORT LIMON, C. R., MAKING STEADY PROGRESS COM- MERCIALLY AND INDUSTRIALLY At a recent business meeting of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. of the Port Limon division No. 110 it was decided to vacate the Liberty hall, which was a tenement, owing to its dislipidated condition and exorbitant rental, through animosity against the association. The president, Mr. Daniel T. Roberts, in his introductory speech informed his audience a conclusion has been arrived at to breve a Liberty Hall 112 ft. by 52 ft. and it is most expedient for us at this juncture to suspend our meetings and vacate this expensive and dilapidated building in order to go ahead with our Liberty Hall. He next gave graphic information to the house with regard to the building, appealing also in earnest to his hearers to unite with one consolidated effort to put the program over, and would do his level best, he said, to bring about an early completion. The president in continuation further assured us that sand and stone are requisite to start the concrete work. Hoping that same will be procured by us at an early date. The president is an eminent builder, hence judicious supervision will be exercised by him in the erection of our Liberty Hall. Mr. S. L. Gordon, the financial secretary, in his usual eloquence, next greeted the house. He said all he has been very much elated over the immatured of the president with regard to the erection of a Liberty Hall. We are starting out, he said, at this incident, a great work, the cost of the building will be approximately $1,000, and it is for us to put our shoulders to the wheel in order to accomplish this Herculean task in spite of the hard times home experienced by us, owing to circumstances that we have no control over. The financial secretary further reminded his audience of the precarious position that is likely to envelop the association should we not answer the call wholeheartedly. The Liberty Hall will be a wooden structure and will stand in the annals of the 1, N. L. A. A superior one of steel or stone will be reflected by the younger generation. This Liberty Hall, he said, will be a credit to our race through the instrumentality of the Hon. Marion Gavrey. Mr. Gordon further argued the audience that the president in his official capacity will give his valuable time in putting the job over to a completion. He will bestow all his credit to curtail the expenses of the association in order to being about a early completion, and when that is being done he may die afterwards. Liberty Hall, he said, must be lobbied and should we fail all what is being done in the post will be a might The financial secretary spoke at length and in conclusion he exhibited his hearers to continue giving their loyal support to the organization, for should we link together with one consolidated effort, we would be a prominent factor in this world at no apparent class, for the world will surely help those who help themselves. The speaker next showed computations on his address for his patient hearing. Mr. R. M Plinket an officer of the honorable advisory board, said that we should be up and doing and not to remain as servant and all the time. We are about to build a liberty hall, he said, and a demanded of us to work in concert to spite of the hard times that are confronting us. He told that many of us will be vigilant in securing the materials for the erection of the building. A few days after many active members assembled at the year-end and procured the sand and stone for the concrete work. The materials were conveyed by rail to the nearest point of the liberty apg. Hundreds of people turned out in the excavations for the purpose of conceiving the materials to the spot. Some were not active members of the association. The opponents were somewhat stratified over the vigor and vigor displayed by our people at that moment. Many disconnecting remark were showered at us, but we assured the irresponsible authors. We, as Negroes, meant to go out of mindlessly in supporting the Hon. Marquis Garvey, our indomitable leader, to plant the flag of the Red and Black and the Green on the continent of Africa. Work has begun on the Liberty Hall, and we are now hastening to a speedy completion. We decided some time ago to launch into a commercial enterprise. A corporation of 5,000 shares at one dollar per share. U.S. currency, was formed, but owing to previous dissolutions among other organizations in and around our vicinity. Many of The President of the University of Iowa, Dr. Kevin Improvement Associates, is aware of the fact that the University has been involved by hundreds of employees and with staff of the University in investigations against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at the University, the individual officers and employees of headquarters, as the Agreee t to conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field The President General granted of many complaints and hereby begs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office.

We are now on the road to success, and through the loyal support of our people a branch has been opened at the extremity of the town. The doubts and fears that were entertained by most of our people are being frittered away gradually. Great progress is being instilled since the inception of the co-operation. We have attached a bar and restaurant as an integral part of the co-operation to grocery No. 1, and both are undoubtedly marching to the zenith of success. Great credit must be reflected on Mr. T. C. McKesey, the manager of the groceries, whom we owe much to for this co-operation, all owing to his instruc-tunity. Mr. McKesey is the treasurer of the association, and although he was operating a business for himself as a steering gentleman, he has decided to save his people. We have at this picture in the employment of the F. N. A. and A. C. L. twelve employees and will be the future employer of a smaller number through the stock program that has been characterized by our directors. We hope to recruit the services of Mr. McNeese, a minister of finance imbued with honor of people and is confiding to leave in the ranks of the great men of the time. The Lemon division can give good service to all classes of the F. N. A. hoping that all will be employed with a company we have agreed to work for one hour a day. LIBERARIAN CHAPTER NO. 1.

PHILADELPHIA DIV. IS GOING STRONG; ENTHUSIASM INTENSE PHILADELPHIA DIV. IS GOING STRONG; ENTHUSIASM INTENSE A Special Easter program was re- corded by the membership of the Phila- adelphia division Easter Sunday, and the office, where the exercises were held, Salem Baptist Church, 11th and Bainbridge street, was packed to over- flowing. Besides the many wonderful numbers on the program, including vocal roles, instrumental selections and recitations, the Lionel Francis the general, energetic and progressive president, assisted by his loyal corps of others, was further entrenched in the atmosphere of success when he descended the road to escort the Hon. William H. Sherill, American leader, and Dr. G. E. Carter, first vice president of the New York, local division of the U. N. L. A., who had come over from New York city to help gladion the heart of the Philadelphia members with their en檐. It is reported that a touring time was had, and that each peaked in applated the West and with his individual bellow wet and en檐. Philadelphia division not only deserved to thank those who kindly participated in this program, but also heartwarmed us back to Philadelphia both the American bounce, Mr. Sherill, and Dr. Carter. L.

Phumper has accomplished the establishment of the Negro and the Latino, and for nearly an hour on each side the pool and great room of the race, then clearly and securely be compelled to conceive that the nature of the Negro as a race organization on organization, and that organization must be and should be under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Leadership of Marcus Garvey. That Garvey has overshadowed all other Negro leaders from anecd, medieval to modern-day civilization, and that the eyes of the world today are directed toward the Negro and toward Garvey. What is the next move on his great program, they wonier. From the applause which punctuated Mr. Phumper's speech throughout, and modifications of approval, he has won a warm place in the hearts of the Philadelphia membership. Mr. Phumper congratulated the president and members on the great success of their medical and legal departments. DO YOU NEED LUCK? In business love, marriage Why love not Lucky Barn In soul?

A very enjoyable evening was spent on Monday, February 27, when the choir of the Tela Division gave an impromptu pleasant Sunday afternoon. At 3.30 p.m. Commissioner D. E. Thorpe, with gates in hand, ascended the contrum with a program of a threefold nature, opening the meeting by singing the歌 "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," while the devotion was led by Chaplain J. J. Brown and his assistant, Mr. J. D. H. Dyer. Before the program, inter-spired with song, recitations and address, was half through the officers who had been elected at a previous general meeting to serve the division were duly installed. The following compose the present cabinet: Mr. O. H. Buckner, president; Mr. D. E. A. Reefer, vice-president; Mrs. A. Holland, second vice-president; Miss A. Griffiths, third vice-president; Mr. F. A. Vernal, secretary; Mr. R. Burt, first assistant secretary; Mrs. C. Tulti, financial secretary; Mr. W. S. Bennett, treasurer; Mr. J. J. Brown, chaplain; Mr. J. D. H. Dyer, assistant chaplain. After the installation of officers the commissioner had the names of some of the juveniles enrolled as members of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, which were organized about two months ago, and promoted some of the private as N. C. Os, while others had been promoted higher. Special mention must be made of Corporal Stein of about nine years for his soldierly appearance and the interest he showed in his duties, while for good conduct and the attention paid Sergents Edgar Donaldson and Hlazel Thompson were promoted to sergeant Major and Miss Jeninola Holland to sergeant. Much of the success gained is due to Messrs. John Shirley and Arthur Perry, who have undertaken to train these young folks. Commissioner Thorpe, who is at this time devoting himself to the juveniles, realizes that to train the minds of youth to Garveyism is laying a firm foundation for the future settlement of this race of ours. These very important items having been disposed of, the musical part of the program was resumed, when "The Mockingbird of Tela" brought down the house with an encore by the rendition of "Sweet Sabbath Eve." Congratulations must be given to Mrs. Francis, our faithful organist, and mistress of the choir, for the efforts she had made to keep the members of the choir together. Now that the division has purchased a new organ, and with the co-operation of all, we shall always be in position to have these Sunday evening repertoire. Among the addresses delivered was one by Mr. Adolphus Haye, Supreme Secretary of the British Independent Order of Good Samaritans of Jamaica, who is on a visit to the lodges in those parts, in his address he enunciated the aims and objects of the U.N.L.A. stating that it is the only means of salvation for the Negroes of the and succeeding generations. He encouraged the members of the Tola Dayan to form and campaign. He also code of the progress the organization making in Jamaica and the spirit it is taking on all. Among the occasions we were involved to Miss Isabel Elysabeth for "Our Mission" and Master Clarke, Commissioner for "The Emotional Post." Before the close of the conference the commission appeared to all present to contribute to the Dear Lord's final with more respect to the call. For the arrival of the one object at the head of the affair we account of the funeral depression in the port things have not been as the after a few months ago, but a there has been a change in the old attitude still we hope in the near future to have a notice written on our honour.

Ediflor, Negro World: Dear Shi- Knowing that through the columns of your widely read paper the sufferings of Negroes the world over are brought to public notice, I venture to report to you the occurrence of a most cowardly and bloodthirsty attack on a party of British and Dutch subjects near the Venezuela frontier by a band of Brazilians. A few years ago a large firm here which owns extensive forest lands running on the Dutch and British Guiana frontiers engaged several natives experienced in balata bleeding to come over here and start the search for this product. Of late, owing to the increasing demand and the high price obtained for some, Brazilians have taken up the gathering of this product, and are no doubt feeling anxious of their more experienced competitors. Among these was Wilfred John in on of British Guiana, who a short time ago located a large number of balak trees near the Venezuelan frontier. Johnson came to Manus, made necessary preparations and set out with a party of men to carry on his work. The aroused theire of one Pedro Rodriguez, a Brazilian, who, to pick a quarrel with Johnson, claimed the land and demanded his withdrawal. The latter, to pacify him, sent a letter, of invitation to visit the place and share in the find. He accepted, raised a band of fourteen armed men and set out for the camp. On reaching there he accepted no proposal, but merely stabbed Johnson and ordered the massacre of his men, which was done in a most Savage manner by shooting them down and then cutting them to pieces. One man succeeded in escaping and reported to the authorities. The dead are Wilfred and William Johnson, both of British Ginnace; Nathaniel Greenidge, Christchurch, Barbados; Geraldine Snook (white), former bank clerk and well known in sporting circles here, Dutch, and two Dutch Negroes and one Venezuelan. On hearing the news the acting British vice-consul summoned the consular corps here and sent a letter of protest to the government, the contents and result of which are unknown. This act by a British authority is an monument to West Indies, and no doubt is the result of the influence your minority organization is gaining throughout the world. When we in the next eighteen years have been made because of singular aggression they have always been dreamed with a "I can't do anything for you." I hope Negroes will set the great influence of organisation and such to the oak. Hoping that this may be of interest to your readers, I am sorry. W L L A R O M M Ezrael S. A.

HAIR ROOT HAIR GROWER Address all mail and money orders to WHITE PAPER) PUBLISHES NEWS DRUM "WIRELESS" SPREADS GARVEY'S PROJECT IN AFRICA Propaganda Promoting Unrest Among Natives "Flashed" to All Tribes in Record Time. "EMPEROR" SAYS AGENTS ENLARGED DRUM CODE. LONDON, April 6 - Broadcasting a system of communication without wires, which provided radio transmission by many years on the Dock, Continent, is held largely responsible for the ever-increasing agitation among the Negritos in Africa. Broadcasting, or non-distance transmission, is accomplished by means of drums, the ages being relayed over tremendous distance with great rapidity. By "drum talk" as it is sometimes called, news of the approaching visit of American notables to Marshal Lyauty in Monaco was learned on the Upper Abyssi about three hours after it was published in Paris. News of the death of great chiefs and warnings of approaching danger are sent this way, and also the native apognosis which is said to be promoting unrest in Eastern, Western and Southern Africa. Agitation in a form resembling Holocaust has appeared in East Africa and sentiment favorable to the nationalist movement started by Mauro Garvey is rampant in Liberia, while the trouble in French West Africa recently required military suppression. Much of this agitation is said to be due to inflammatory reports spread among the tribes by drum talk. Garvey Says His Agents Spread Message by Drums Maurice Garvey, self-styled "Emperor of Africa," told the Associated Press yesterday that drum talk was being used to educate the Negroes of the Old continent in political philosophy because open propaganda for enlightenment of the race was prevented by the authorities ruling the various colonies. Garvey who holds the title of president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, intermed with interest to the teaching of the Lebanon diplomatic stating drum talk was held at a responsible for overseeing or co-ordinating among the Negroes in Africa. No Sudden Uprising Garvey said that in a quarter of a century he expected to see established a United States of Africa with Negroes governing their own democracy. He added that when the white man came to see that the Negro was capable of self-government, he believed political rights would be given to the native tribes. Garvey said he looked for no unjust mention. The tribunesman, he said, realized they could not cope with the white warfare or the forces which the white man could bring to bear. Garvey's agents of his presence then had gone to Africa either to import to their fellow Negroes the education which they had received, but not propagated work, or to genially conducted in this country, and been prevented. "They," said Garvey "the agent." is a scientific vegetable compound or hair root and Aino Oil, together with several other positive herbs, therefore making the most powerful harmless Hair Grower known, actually forcing hair to grow in most obstinate cases.

By staccato notes of the drum educational messages are conveyed rapidly and for great distances from tribe to tribe." A code skim to the dots and dashes of telephony was employed. He said. He said that, although the various tribes each had its own dialect, the difference was not so great as to prevent intelligent communication. Enlarged Drum Code Agents of his association, he continued, were spreading the word that Negroes were entitled to political rights and that they should demand economic privileges which had been taken away from them by the whites. Various governments, he said; on going to Africa, had promised the natives that they should continue to have their own lands and hunting grounds that those had been taken away from them and the Negroes prevented from bettering themselves. Garvey said he understood his agents had enlarged the "drum code" to such an extent that sending of long messages was now possible. In different sections, according to the total environment, the "galloping drums" are of different types. The "thou thou" the best known, is constructed of light wood in the shape of an hour glass with its braces connected by glass, struts of wood. The drum is held under the arm and various degrees of pressure renders different sounds, sometimes ranging three octaves. MADAM IDA B. JEFF EPISCOPAL DIST. NORTH A Healer of BOX 643 STAR HAIR A Wonderful Hair Dr 1,000 AGENT FELLOWMAN OF THE MICRO RACE I have written, you asking all Negro men and women to study the Negro problem carefully, to listen to the deals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to thank God for His goodness to all mankind, who, in His infinite mercy, has been to us in the past, and according to the teaching of His divine plan, the U. N. A. & A. C. L., is not a mean organization, or of chance making. It is the plan and will of God. Then we will repeat with the Psalms: "If not Unto You, or Lord, Not Unto Us, but unto Thy Name, Give Glory for Thy Mercy, and for Thy Truth's Sole." If we, the present Negroes, are to accept a similar fate, to that of the children of Israel, see that Moses adhere strictly, to the command of God, than to the yin counsel of the true, Negroes the world over, the call of the Negro is on. Our best man, the honorable leader, Marcellus tarvay, is tried and found true as steel, for the love of his race and people. Now, Negro men and women, come shoulder your burden upward, onward, along your way, be up and be doing. It's time we are on the duty call today—one African, one God, one aim, one destiny. Remember, the golden text, go home to thy friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for them. May I leave these few words of encouragement to parents of children. When questions arise that cannot be answered by observation, reply to each as simply and directly as you answer questions upon other subjects, giving scientific names and facts, and such explanations as are suited to the comprehensions of the God.

He was a member of the New Hope Baptist Church of Braddock. Pa. He joined the U. N. I. A. in the latter part of 1920.

El universo entero realiza ademas que las demandas del Negro por medio de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, tales como la absoluta redención de Africa y la emancipación general de la raza, tienen su justificación y por tal razón vemos un número de agentes sinicstros que luchan para minar y destruir la utilidad de esta gran organización. Eso y nada más es lo que ha sucedido ultimamente a los que cifran ban sus venturas en ridiculizar el ramo de la Asociación-Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra de esta Villa. Por inconsultos, por doquierra pregonaban en el augurio mas funesto para la prosperidad de esta Villa, seria el exitor de dicha asociación pero se equivocaban miserablemente y tan grande fue la equivocación como su amillanamiento, al ver que dicha asociación realiza con una facilidad increible lo que imaginaban ser más difícil que descubrir un sendero nuevo y material, de la tierra al ciclo. Dicha sociedad, compuesta en esta Villa, por valiosos factores del optimisme tales como el Sr. John H. Chapnam, presidente; Sr. William George, Sr. Salomon Hill, Sr. Joseph Crook y otros de tanta integridad como los citados, desde hace más de dos años, persiguen un ideal gloriosamente bencicco en pro de la sociedad. Sancha; ideal ante el cual los hombres de conciencia no pueden menos que descubrirse y manifestar su cordialidad, ofreciendo su cooperación, como lo ha hecho la venerable institución de Odd Fellows. Estos señores agentes, por desgracia elementos de nuestra propia raza, han tratado en distintos modos contrarrestar el impulso de este movimiento prepotente, no habiendo obtenido hasta el presente ningun resultado práctico. Los que seguimos paso a paso el curso de los acontecimientos y notamos el sinnúmero de influencias que operan en contra nuestra, deducimos que el magno movimiento que persigue la libertad de una raza, parece ser una espina encrustada en los músculos de los malhechores, enemigos de si mismo. Pero solo el domingo 18 de febrero, dia en que se convocó al pueblo a presenciar la bendición del edificio propiedad, de dicha Association, pudo Sánchez oir y por si juzgar la importancia de esta noble Sociedad, que con la denomination de Garvinismo, consuraban el language mas acte y procz. Se encontró que, lo que tan considerado era, como una espada blandida al corazón de la moral del pueblo, no era灿, sino la mano más amistosa, que se le extiende al pueblo para su exaltación y después de hecha la bendición del edificio, es escucharon las fervorosas frases del hustelecante Sr. José M. Hidefonso, las de la Sarta, Mary Crook y las del suscritor de las presentes lineas, y con esto quedo la numerosa concurrencia convencida, de que por los erfuerzos de dicha société, podía Sánchez dejar de ser en el concepto de muchos, lo que en la aeggalidad. Un pueblo fatalizado, donde la ruina, se propone a ser, dueña y sefora. En no lejano dia, cuando la historia de este movimiento sea escrita, se veran expuestas el gran número de intrigas en su contra; al presente es necesario manifestar como medio de información a los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del universo, que ha llegado el momento de hacer un esfuerzo unido para protejer esta organización de los engendradores del mal. Los poderes a los cuales reusamos nosotros rendir el continente africano para satisfacer sus deseos, utilizan toda clase de esfuerzos y métodos con el objeto de destruir la influencia que nuestra organización ha adquirido universalmente. Los capitalistas quienes se han enriquecido en Africa también ejecutan su trabajo de destrucción. Todos aquellos que se oponen a nuestra libertad tienen su método propio para perjudicar nuestra organización; hoy mas que nunca podemos notar la combinación de estas fuerzas malignas trabajando en oposición directa. Dicha Association, avida de cristalizar provechosos para el porvenir de esta Villa, es todavía debil, pero revela la perspectiva de ser en el futuro, poderosa y gigante, pues va se puede admirar el avance de la banda musical fundada bajo sus anpies, como también el buer funcionamiento del Club "Etiopia", organizado en el seno de la misma, con las más altas tendencias instructivas y civilizadoras para sus miembros. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha de presentar un frente indestructible al enemigo comun, quien persigue la completa destrucción de la raza. El futuro de esta depende principalmente de los actos de la presente generación y los que concientemente abrigamos esperanza en el futuro, no podemos menos que trabajar y luchar, apesar de la oposición, en pro de la realización de un país redimido y de una raza emancipada. Es pues, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, tina de las que habían de llenar las píginas más deslumbradas del progreso de esta Villa, y triumfara en su mission libertaria y civilizadora, como triunfam hipnotizando al mundo, todas las grandes empresas acometidas por el Presidente General, el honoreo que espolca con el eficienza de su extradordinaria mentalidad, la libertad de Africa, Marcus Garvey es más que seguro, que si desde un punto de vista, de verdadero altruismo se viera la labor de la asociación de negros de esta, no se tardaría en ver cuan prolifico es el resultado de la buena voluntad guiada hacia un ideal sano y supremo y tal resultado seria en el engrandecimiento de la Raza, y por consiguiente el de la Patria y el de este Pueblo. ESTERBAN VANDERHORST La lucha por la existencia de la raza es indubablemente una lucha a muerte; la victoria depende de la cantidad de energía y entusiasmo que pongamos en nuestros esfuerzos. Indudablemente, con respecto a la competencia existente y los planes de esta, nuestros enemigos ven solamente un camino abierto para nosotros y este es el de la destrucción. Ellos realizan que llegara el tiempo en que el Negro, si no se le depriva, se constituya en un competidor en el desenvolvimiento material de las otras razas y por tal motivo ven necesario que el Negro ocupe siempre un puesto de inferioridad en los acontecimientos humanos, hasta conseguir su completa exterminación. Mientras aquellos que intentan la destrucción de la raza se expresan de ese modo, porque proveerles de material para llevar a cabo su propósito? Nos corresponde, con conciencia en nuestros actos, luchar en la batalla por nuestra propia conservación; por tal razón la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, sin compromisos de ninguna naturaleza, continua adelante advirtiendo a los cuatrocientos millones de elementos de una misma sangre que la unión en un cuerpo sólido es imprecindible; la unión basada en un solo propósito; el propósito de nuestra absoluta emancipación ficica, moral, industrial y política. Las Tropas Americanas en Haity Un informe oficial annuncia que se ha ordenado la retirada de los destacamentos de infantería de marina americana que ocupaban varios pueblos del interior de Haiti. La causa de ese cambio que deja solamente a las tropas de los Estados Unidos en posesión de un poblado interno, a más de la guarnición de Puerto Principe, es el restablecimiento de la normalidad en el territorio evacuado; doblemente significativo por ser en esa zona donde más violenta, segura era la resistencia de las bandas de cacos a la penetración del orden, según los informes de la ocupación americana. Cabo deducir, pues, que si el orden es ya independientemente asegurado en el interior, Nuestra labor ha de continuar hasta que nos encontremos en circunstancias de poder hacer a todos y cada uno de los miembros de la raza ver con sus propios ojos y palpar con sus propias manos la posibilidad de la realización del programa de esta organización; con tal fin hemos de nepultar las triviales diferencias personales y ser forjadas en la fragua de determinación para solidificar el desgneo del Negro en el universo entero. su imperio debe ser absoluto y estable en las clujades de la costa, mucho más en la capital de la república. La noticia en conjunto es grata por muchas diferencias éticas: políticas e históricas que Haiti tenga con las republicas de muestra raza es un hecho que la actuation del gobierno de Washington alli no ha dejado de guardar semejanzas sugerentes con su proceder en otras naciones de Anterica. El proceso de la crisis política interna, de los desórdenes sangrientes y del fulminante desembargo de tropas de los Estados Unidos para restablecer el orden, garantizar vidas y derechos de los extranjeros, ha sido identico en partes. Lóque, en verdad, no ha sido siempre semejante, ha sido el desarrollo y procedimientos de la ocupación, sujeta inevitablemente a la personalidad humana y falible del director inmediato de ella. En el caso de Haiti, abstrac- dose del problema puro del respeto a la soberania de un pueblo libre, hasta en sus crisis más graves, la occupación ha producido bienes materiales considerables, según el testimonio de observadores desapasionados. Se han realizado obras materiales extraordinarias, se ha aumentado las comunicaciones en todo el territorio, la instrucción pública estó en augue y realmente se ha garantizado un orden completo en toda la república. Ahora, cumplida la misión de las tropas, parece aproximarse la hora de su reembarque y del entronizamiento del gobierno nacional. Cuantos de verdad admiren la obra de la ocupación y la justifican como necesaria y conveniente, desde el punto de vista haitiano tanto como del americano, deben recibir como buena nueva la de la retirada de tropas del interior. El restablecimiento de la normalidad es el mejor clogio de la ocupación. Y el que cila ceso tan pronto cesen los motivos expresados de su realización no puede sino ser corolario obligado de las declaraciones del gobierno de Washington, degoose de hacer ver que su actitud no tiene más finalidad que la preservación de la seguridad de extranjeros y nacionales en la pequena Antilla.— La Preisa, N. Y. Candidatos de Gran Prestigio se Disputan la Presidencia de la República Dominicana Tres candidatos realizan sus respectivas campañas políticas a la presidencia constitucional de la república dominicana; el general Horacio Vasquez, candidato del partido nacional; el licenciado Francisco J. Peynado, candidato de la coalición patriotica y el señor Federico Vélasquez z Hernandez, candidato del partido progresista. Todos huelan con los mismos en tusiasmos y husta la ficta no posible determinar de oral son el triumfo en los comunes. Cada uno de los candidatos la lanzado un programa magnifico que de llevar a la practica haria la felicidad de la república Dominicana. Dios gozan de solido prestigio político en todo el país, que sus partidarios hacen resaltar de vez en cuando en las manifestaciones, populares, quetieron lugar. El general Vasquez made en Estancia Nueva en octubre de 1809 y de dejen se delició a la labor agrícola, habiendo tomado parte en los sucesos políticos de 1809. El presidente Hireaux lo reclino a prisión en 1801. Sabio del par en 1809. Presidio, en 1809, el movimiento ocurrido a la muerte tragica del movimiento presidente, migrando a que se postulata su pobre para la presidencia al triunfal el movimiento, pero recomendado a don Juan Bello Jimenez para el cargo, asimilado el vicepresidente. Disgustado con Jimenez, surgio la revolución de 1902, que cedo partiera tierra a Jimenez. Gació Vazquez proclanado presidente provisional, el cual a su vez fue derribado en 1903 despares de una guerra terrible. Toma luego parte en el movimiento que exaltó a la presidencia en 1912 al arzobispo Noel. En las ceciones posteriores fraecas su candidatura triunfando el anterior presidente Jimenez. Firms en Washington el plan de liberación. El candidato Reynaldo nació en octubre de 1867, y se graduó de abogado en 1889, fecha desde la cual ha ejercido su profesión. Ha presidido tres veces el consejo municipal de Santo Domingo y lo mismo el colegio de abogados. En 1912-1914 fue ministro de la república en los Estados Unidos, consejero de instrucción pública, de fomento y obras públicas, delegado a la union panamericana, miembro de la alta comisión interamericana, ministro de hacienda y concerció en 1915, cuando se efectuó la ocupación por tropas norteamericanas, bajo la presidencia del doctor Federico Enriquez y Carvajal, firmo como, representante dominicano el plan de liberación de Washington para restituir su independencia a la república. Es una de las más esclarecidas mentalidades del país. El candidato Velasquez nació en Tamboril en febrero de 1868. Fue profesor expulsado por el presidente Hereaux a causa de las doctrinas liberales que inculcaba a sus disci- pulos en la catedra de las escuela La Trinitaria. Fué secretario particular del general Vásquez. Fué ministro de hacienda del presidente Mobales, cargo que desempeño también bajo la presidencia de Caceres y fue ministro de fomento en la última presidencia de Jimenez. Firmó tánbién el plan de liberación. El Presidente de la República de Cuba Solicita la Renuncia de su Gabinete El presidente de la república, doctor Zayas, ante las dificultades experimentadas en el desarrollo de diversas iniciativas del gobierno y la opicioción de la cámara de representantes a la aprobación del programa de reformas gubernativas, decidióse, según informes extraoliciales, a solicitar la renuncia de todos los secretarios de su gabinete para proceder a la reorganización de el. La noticia, a pesar de haber producido enorme sensación, era anticipada en los circulos políticos más cercanos al presidente desde el domingo. En estos momentos no se conoce aim la constitución que rendra el nuevo gobierno, aunque se tiene la casi absoluta certeza en centros bien informados, de que el secretario de Estado, doctor Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, conservará su gargo en el nuevo gabinete, al que también pertenecerán el hermano del presidente, doctor Francisco Zayas, actual secretario de instrucción pública y el secretario de gobierno, doctor Lancis. La orientación que se supone daria el presidente a sus gestiones para formar cobsejo de secretarios se lograr una especie de concentración política, que permita al gobierno obtener aprobación de la cámara de representantes y del senado para el plan de refrasas que desea llevar a cabo. Se mentionan como probables secretarios al doctor Cortina, secretario actual de la presidencia, al doctor Joranzo Beci, al doctor Regeneretos, al brigadier Herrera y a varios más, pero no o la obジェido todavía unformacion al alguna sobre la historia detrimental.

A period has been reached in the progress of civilisation when an offence has its public and private aspects pretty clearly distinguished by the Anglo-Baxon terms. There is Wer, the value set on a man's life, increasing with his rank; Wite, the fano payable to the king. It was only by degrees that the principlio became established that the members of the commonwealth must be content with the remedies afforded them by law, and must not seek private vengeance, and that, on the other hand, public offences cannot be compounded by private vengeance. The rights of the individual become merged in the rights of the state. "On the eye of the Norman conquest, what we may call the criminal law of England, contained four elements which deserve attention. Its past history had, in the main, consisted of the varying relations between them. We have to speak of outlawry, of the blood-fuel, of the tariff of war and bot and wite, of punishment in life and hum. As regards the malefactor, the community may assume one of four attitudes: It may make war upon him, it may leave him exposed to the vengeance of those whom he has wronged, it may suffer him to make atonement, it may inflict on him a determinate punishment - death, mutilation or the like." (H. Pollock's Hist. 117). Here we have intermingled in one period of our past history vengeance, retaliation, the blood-avenger attack and punishment by the State. It is a transition period. "The old king changeng." "At the end of the period we already see broad outlines which will be variable through the coming days we go back but a few years and we are breathing a different air." The change is from comparative barbarism to incipient civilization. Pray to the conquest England was divided into three laws: Wesley law, Mercier law, Dame law. William did not supersede English law, but did not all men were to have and to hold the law, the law of King Edward; that is to say, the old English law but with certain additions which he had made to it. It may not be incorrect to describe English law at that time as a "wonderful confusion" (L. Pollock's Hist. 78.) Speaking of this period again contemporaneously with these conditions, we are told, apparent. The penal wrong in grave crimes has been merged in the penal crimes in the community. Faces of the most cruel of private crimes are seen in such murders as the private presentation will allowed to intervene in certain cases. Blood tend has left no trace around. It necessarily disappears with the intermarriage of clans and tribes and the tracing of kinship in both maternal and paternal lines. It cannot allow someone the presence of the stage. Which "the members of each clan were, in fact or fiction, bound to each other by the tie of blood, and were accustomed to strengthen in blood to the members of every other clan" (L. Pollock's Hist. 433). The outlawry of the eleventh century, too, has disappeared. "It was the capital punishment of a rude age. It is the last weapon of ancient law, the sentence of death pronounced by a community which has no police constables or professional hangmen." (II. Pollocks Hist. 238.) In modern times outlawry has become more criminal process, a means of compelling accused persons to stand their trial. What remains is punishment proportioned to the offense inflicted by the estate. Punishment, whilst still essentially retributive and deterrent, is gradually coming to assume a new attitude towards the criminal himself. Hitherto the law has punished crime primarily in an impersonal and mechanical way, not ostensibly regarding the welfare of the criminal as one of the matters to be considered of dealt with. Our criminal code takes no account of health and environment, and not much account of mental disease. These matters have been left to the wisdom and humanity, to the judicial discretion of those who administer the law. A new departure seems near at hand. Fortitivat criminology is agitating for a better classification of criminals, which shall distinguish between the hereditary and professional criminal on the one hand, and the man whose crime is foreign to his true character on the other. It further demands that punishment shall be above all things curative and reformatory, whilst still retribiyo and deterrent. It was Benham's opinion that crime was a manifestation of mental disease, and that it should be so treated. The new school of criminologists hold the same view. Should their views prevail the punishment of crime will more and more become the treatment of the criminal, for his mental and moral disease, until he is cured. "The moral cure of the criminal" is prescheduled like a new gospel by some enthilastic philanthropists. "It is the great moral discovery of the present age that very much may be done in this direction." Amos, Science of Law, 278.) Some men would say it in the revival of a doctrine taught in Palestine eightteen centuries ago. Perhaps the greatest advance which has been made in regard to the prevention of crime. The most radical new departure is that made by our children's protection act, which enters the hitherto sacred precepts of the family, and takes the children from the criminal or dissolute parents, to be cared for under State supervision; hitherto the family had been regarded as a "unit" of society in every way, and to interfere between parent and child was a thing the State almost refused to do. But a new principle has now been adopted, and where the interest of the State requires it, children are to be taken from their parents in order that they be trained up to a good and useful life, rather than to swell the ranks of the criminal classes. The abolition of the death penalty in such counties as Italy, Holland, Portugal, Roumania, Belgium and Switzerland is another indication of the direction in which the vla agena is moving. Within our own day have been developed the indeterminate sentence, the suspended sentence, the measures provided for the reformation of criminals, for the prevention of crime, for testing the sanity of accused persons; and we have invented a new word, "criminology. From the vengeance of our savage to the humanity of the suspended sentence is a tar journey. The human race has been for ages on the way, and it has been accomplished the gradual steps as singularly allite in the main in different lands and periods, of the corresponding steps of advance, in they have differed in detail. At our next session we will consider the subject of the sources of the criminal law, or how it is prescribed. (Copyrighted, 1923, by Prof. William H. Hort, A. M., L.L.

Will Eldera, 123 Ballinger Bldg, St. Joseph, Missouri Bogus and Compent Masons For many years "bogus" or, as it might be more appropriately designated, "unrecognized" Masons among colored people has flourished in the Eastern States to a greater or less extent. A majority of the progenitors of these so-called Masonic associations were originally Prince Hall Masons, in later years, had the extreme penalty of the craft placed upon their records for misconduct of varying degrees. With the probable promise of enjoying a lucrative income, other men of doubtful reputation were induced to join with those expelled Masons and from the operations of this band have sprung most, if not all, the bogus Masonic bodies among the colored people of America. While many respectable and intelligent men have been enrolled in those organizations, one is impressed with the fact that a critical examination of the reputed "authority" for their establishment has already convinced numbers of their members of the shallowness of those claims, and induced them to forsake their original connections and enter the only legitimate fraternity of Freemasonry among our people, which is descended from African Lodge. When more of their intelligent members become familiar, with the recorded Masonic history of the United States and are willing to admit they have been misled through the false claims advanced by the followers of those who committed the original error, they will attach themselves to the Prince Hall Craft and our race will benefit thereby. If those misguided men will take advantage of the numerous opportunities for familiarizing themselves with current Masonic literature and present and past history, bogus societies amongst our people will soon cease to exist. For some unknown reason the literature upon this subject by our own writers fail to impress and it appears to be the rule, rather than the exception, unless something convincing comes from the pen of a "white Mason, a certain element among our people will not sit up and take another. Such being the case, if might be well to give our bogus friends a hint or two as to where they can read all they may desire about Prince Hall and Freemasonry among the blacks. The progenitor of "clandestine" or "hogun" Masonry among the colored people of America was none other than the late John G. Jones of Chicago, Ill. This gentleman was a very able lawyer and for many years a very active and prominent member in the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, F. & A. M. of Illinois, but for reasons (which do not require explanation at this time) he failed to live up to the rules and regulations of the Craft and in time accumulated him from our branch of the great Masonic family. Mr. Jones never repented. That he might procure revenge for the punishment placed upon himself for his misdeeds, this man Jones enlisted the services and assistance of several other miscreants and with his little band of "soreheads" traveled all over the Eastern and Southern States, making Masons (?) at so much "per throw." I.e., for any amount of money the poor dupe could afford to pay, not stipulated fee being required. For many years Jones was reputed to have enjoyed a very comfortable income through various and dubious methods of degree work, covering anywhere from the first to the third or to the thirty-third degree, all in one night if necessary and done in the most unheard of places. The colored people are not the only softeners from the plague of this "logos" or "unauthorized" system of work, for the white Masons have likewise had their troubles with a similar element and even the enactment of legislation for the purpose of suppressing such bodies has failed to destroy them. For many years the white Grand Lodges of America were compelled to rally to the support of the Grand Lodge of Ohio in its effort to destroy the "Winners" Grand Lodge of Ohio, formed by one Justin Pinney. An examination of the old proceedings of a number of the white Grand Lodge will reveal the fact that bogus lodges have been very active all over the country and that colored men were admitted into membership in some of them. It is just as well to state very positively that nowhere in Mascotte literature nor history will our logos friends find any reference, but once, to any of their organizations and that exception is an instance in which one of their grand masters, so-called, endeavored to "masquerade," or, as we might more appropriately say, "to say I shall under false colors" in Prince Hall Masonry (see proceedings, Grand Lodge of Michigan, F. & A. M. white, for 1912; page 290). Although our craft had been organized in the state of Michigan since December 5, 1866, a man by the name of John Bell "presumed" to address the whirl-grand lodge of that State in the capacity of "grand master of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Michigan." The title of the regular colored body bearing "The Union Grand Lodge." This is an excellent reason why every regular colored organization should adopt the title of the "Prince Hall Grand Lodge, F. & A. M. of the State of ——" The hogs gentlemen will make use of valuable time if they will read any of the following items in this foreign correspondence reports of the several grand lodges, all of which can be found in any of the numerous Mascotte libraries. Proceedings of Ohio for 1870, page 34: "Another subject will come up for your attention this session; it was brought up at our last meeting and the committee then appointed was continued with instructions to report further at this communication. I allude to the memorial of the grand lodge of colored Masons of Ohio. I are by virtue in newsmen that the grand lodge of Illinois had recognized the rights of the colored Moons of that State. It is a subject that must come up before every grand lodge for their action, sooner or later. How this question should be settled or what laws be enacted, or how they should be treated by the grand lodge of Ohio is for you to decide." The same volume, on pages 79 to 82 contains considerable matter relative to Prince Hall: African lodge, and the National Grand Lodge of 1847. In the proceedings of the same grand-lodge for 1873 there is found an appendix "New day—new duty," by the grand secretary, John D. Caldwell, consisting of fifty-five pages, devoted exclusively to Prince Hall Masonry. Very profitable reading for the student. The following year (1876) the proceedings, pages 84 to 148, is almost exclusively devoted to the Negroes of African Lodge ancestry. This volume contains the inhabited vote of the lodges of Ohio upon the matter of the recognition of the colored brethren of the same State, which was lost by 289 may, 929 may. A margin of 60. The proceedings of Ohio for 1853 contains quotations by Samuel W. Clark, who was the grand master of the Prince Hall body in that territory. Literature upon the subject is so extensive it is almost impossible for one to cover the ground completely. A very careful examination of the foregoing, also the following references (although many of the arguments advanced are not favorable to our institution) will convince the reader that what is designated the world over as "Prince Hall Masonry" is the only known order of Masonry to be found and recognized among the colored people of America. A white brother once wrote to the effect that as so much has been written upon the subject, there must be something of it. Proceedings of Ohio for 1829, pages 372 to 374, inclusive. Proceedings of Indiana for 1829, pages 4 to 84, inclusive. Proceedings of Washington for the years 1855, 1856, 1857, 1858 and 1859. The 1859 proceedings, pages 1 to 164, contains that most wonderful treatise upon our institution by William H. Upton, originally published under the title of "Light on a Dark Subject" and later as "Nero Moserzy." Most all the colored logos organizations, particularly those in operation within the vicinity of New York Massachusetts and New Jersey, make use of the title "Ancient Free and Accepted Masons"; several claim they are "Scottish Rite" Masons. It is an unfortunate fact that so many of our own organizations (Prince Hall) make use of the same title, Colored Masonic bodies which are either borgue, have absolutely no right nor authority for the use of "Ancient Free and Accepted Masons"; at the time of the schism in the Grand Lodge of England, led by the Duke of Athol, when a section withdrew from the Mother Grand Lodge and formed what was later known as the Athol or "Ancient" Grand Lodge of England. Some of the white American Grand Lodges are descendants of the "Ancient" body, but it never issued a warrant or other document of authority to any "colored" organization. Members of the logos bodies explain the use of "Ancient" as meaning their organizations have descended from "Ancient" times, but how ancient, none seem to know. Probably sea knowing for very few of them are informed concerning Masonic history) that organized Free-masonry was practically unknown prior to 1217. Now for the "Scottish Rite" feature "These poor, misguided creations are positively ignorant concerning Masonic history in America, for they would know the symbolic degrees in Scottish Rite Masonry are not practiced in the States and have not been for many years. This term, as made use of by our borgue friends, is in the nature of a siderogue, and by its use endeavor to impress the uninformed among them and the general public, that their "work" is entirely different than the Prince Hall ritual. If the truth is known, investigation has proven the logos folks make, use of "exposed" works such as Durand and Richardson monitors. If our logos friends really desire to be informed concerning the origin of the word "Ancient" they can read with profit the matter found in pages 110 to 142, inclusive in the proceedings of the white Grand Lodge, F. & A. M. of Washington for 1894. Another difference between our bodies and the logos follows is that the officials of the latter organizations have adopted the illegal custom and very poor taste of attaching "Illustrious" in front of and the numerals of the thirty-third degree after their names. From several sections, the rumor has come that some of our bogus accusations claim descent frogs the old compact grand lodges which were the state adjuncts to the 'National Grand Lodge of North America' as organized about 1547, but an examination of the records now available cannot substantiate the authenticity of such claims. In his history, Bro. Grimshaw informs us that the Pennsylvania adjunct of the 'National Grand Lodge dissolved partnership on Nov. 9, 1849, with the national body, thus providing two Grand Lodges in that State. This continued until December 26, 1852, when the "Compacts" and the "State Rights" became consolidated into one organization. The following statistics, as taken from Grimshaw's work will prove that all the State adjuncts of the National Grand Lodge, sometimes called the National Compact" Grand Lodge, in due course of time became extinct in some manner. New York-Past Grand Lodge formed in 1845. An the result of a THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1923 achlam in 1848, there were two Grand Lodges for many years: the "United" or "State Rights" and the "Compact" or National adjunct. On the 21st of December, 1877, the two bodies consolidated. District of Columbia—Grand Lodge formed March 27, 1848. Withdraw from the National Grand Lodge about 1869. Only one Grand Lodge theres since that date. Maryland—First Grand Lodge organized in 1845. Another under the National Grand Lodge (Compact) was formed in 1847. The two bodies consolidated on September 12, 1876. New Jersey—Grand, Lodge formed June 24, 1848. A Compact invasion occurred in 1849. Both bodies consolidated December 28, 1875. Virginia—Grand Lodge formed October 29, 1865. This State did not experience any Compact invasion. Connecticut—Grand Lodge formed October 5, 1874, by lodges formerly under the National Grand Lodge, but which had withdrawn from same in the meantime. Florida—Grand Lodge formed June 17, 1879. Independent. Tennessee - Grand Lodge formed August 31, 1870. Independent. Arizona — Grand Lodge formed October 28, 1853. Independent. Arkansas — Grand Lodge formed March 19, 1862. With permanent savings. Alabama—Grand Lodge formed September 24, 1870. Two Grand Lodges for many years. The National Grand Lodge adjunner finally succumbed and the remainder consolidated with the "State Rights" body in 1875. Iowa—Grand Lodge formed August 9, 1887. One Grand Lodge. California Grand Lodge, champs awn as of June 19, 1855. The pro- ceedings of the United Grand Lodge of New York for 1872 mention the formation of a Grand Lodge in California as of August 1, 1871. The New York body had a lodge (Olive Branch) in San Francisco in 1855 and established anothe- r (Wethington) in the same city December 6, 1863. Both joined in the formation of the 1871 Grand Lodge. Nebraska--August 2, 1819. Arizona Grand Lodge issued April 6, 1920. This table of statistics will convince the reader the National Grand Lodge or Compact Masons practically ceased to exist about 1870, but a few of its adjuncts did manage to live for a few years later, and is proof that any of the organizations now operating under such title cannot be other than of unauthorized origin. An examination of the proceedings of the Compact Grand Lodge in New York for the year 1871, also the one for 1875, will bear out this statement. Likewise the proceedings of the General Assembly of Masons held in the city of Boston, Mass., on June 23, 1875, bears testimony of the gradual disintegration of the National Grand Lodge of North America. A career of less than thirty years. In the proceedings of the white Grand Lodge of Texas for 1912, pages 60 and 61, the Grand Master stated that some members of the King Solomon Colored Grand Lodge had applied, for recognition, also the King Solomon body had been by the St. John Grand Lodge of Illinois, and in turn its authority has been received from the Grand Lodge of Roumania. Both the colored bodies of Texas and Illinois as mentioned are bogus. The Grand Lodge of Roumania cannot be found in the lists of foreign Grand Lodges as printed, in the proceedings of District of Columbia (white) for 1903, New York for 1920 nor for 1921. THE "BIT OF SILVER" FUND We hereby beg to acquaint you with the fact that several of the men who, during the periods of 1919 to 1922 were elected to serve, the association under oath as executive officers for the good of the race, and who were voted certain salaries believing that their services to the association and to the race would merit it, but who are no longer with us in spirit nor in service, have on the basis of the large salaries voted them by the Convention, sued us for balances they have alleged due them. We are now, therefore, appealing to the loyal membership and friends of the association to help the parent body pay off these men who have resorted to the courts to force the association to pay them on the basis of the high salaries voted them for cause at the Convention. Please subscribe to this fund to pay off these persons who are suing the association that they swore to help and protect and of which they were executive officers. The persons suing are: G. E. Stewart, who was elected as chancellor at $3,000 per annum. He is suing for $2,883.28 (two actions contested by U. N. L. A). Sydney De Bourg, who was elected as leader of the Salem province of the West Indies, at a salary of $6,000, which was reduced to $3,000. Elie Garcia, elected as Auditor General at $5,000 per annum, who has been dismissed for cause, suing for $3,718 (three actions, contested by U. N. L. A). All members and partners will subscribe to this fund that in case of judgment against the association these Negroes will be paid their "bits of silver" collected through judgment from the cause which they swore to defend and help by their "lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor." Let us unitedly pray that the "bits of silver" we subscribe may serve those who receive it as did Judas Iscariot. THE FUND NOTICE OF ELECTION OF OFFICERS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO DIV.

Adams, 541 Myrtle avenue first vice president. Mrs. S. M. Thomas, 2214 Fillmore street secretary of Lady's Division. LOUISSE BROWN. General Secretary No 148. U. N. I. A. VINDICATED IN CITY OF NEW ORLEANS (Continued from page 2) mer months, ever enthusiastic for the program of the U. N. I. A., and our enthusiasm became cold in a month, six months or a year, and today so many have fallen out and have many things to say against the association because they have expected that we would have done everything and moved the whole world in twelve months. We do not promise that we can move heaven and earth in twelve months, but we promise you that in a reasonable time we are going to have a country of our own, we promise that in a reasonable time the Negro will take his place alongside the great races and nations of the world. Rome was not built in a day, neither will Africa be built in a day. It requires patience, sacrifice and determination on the part of those who have the vision of liberty who have the vision of freedom; and as we can do these kind of things under a vision of our own from time to time, we will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the U. N. I. A.'s influence is being felt throughout the world. The things that are being said against us and the things that are being done to us are not done simply because of any offense on our part, but because the powers that be realize that if the program of the U. N. I. A. is put over the aspect of the world will be changed; and they are using every available means possible to prevent the Negro bringing about that change in world affairs that will demand respect, honor and recognition. You who have been reading the papers for the last two months must have been amused and attracted with what was said about Tut-ankh-anon and about the land of the Pharaohs, etc. They have tried to make out now that BUY A COPY NEGRO YEAR BOOK LATEST EDITION, 1921-22 STANDARD REFERENCE ON All Matters Relating to the Negro.

Tut was not a Negro; that the glorious civilization of Egypt was not a Negro civilization, but that it was something else. And yet they have told us that one sixteenth of Negro blood makes you a Negro. But for their own government, in science, they are telling us that the Egyptians were not purely black; they were of mixed blood, and that they were not Negroes. Anybody who looks at Tut's nose knows that it resembles from daughter. How they are going to make a white man out of Tut I don't know. But they are destroys of doubt. It is as to to see the Negro of the house and glory that should come to him in this twenty-fourth century of being able to see that he had a civilization even though it was some years ago. After all, we come back to the question, Who and what is a Negro? Not only with the discoveries of *Tut* that they deny the existence of a Negro civilization, but even when the Moroccan soldiers in France were sent into Germany the other day and the Algonks who are so black in anthology in this building, the question arises that they were bring black soldiers on the Thine and to occupy Germany, the French, retorted that they were not Norse, they as Morocco and they are Algonks. Now what is a Negro and who is a Negro? The conclusion is a Negro is not a black man, a Negro is not a colored man. FEEL YOUNG, LOOK YOUNG AND BE YOUNG Science Discovers New Home Formula For Quickly Restoring Vitality— Superior to Gland Treatments. "Peep" is that quality more needed for social and business success than any other. If you have noticed a premature slowing down in your nerve force—if you don't feel as young as you once did, you may realize a remarkable increase of van, vigor and through a wonderful scientific formula. Many scientists were long ago convinced that lack of activity of several of the endocrine glands were responsible for weakness, Gerbera Dulcity, Desmoidness, Beetlehead, Night Tire, Worn Out Feeling and other symptoms. Several of them raised their lives in searching for an Elfie that would bring the benefits of gland treatments to every home. Finally, Africa they discovered an extract that seemingly produces wonderful results. This extract is now prepared in convenient table, form in combination with other proven stimulants and may be taken easily anywhere and any need is fastest and proved beneficial to man. It has both young and old. It has been known to produce remarkable results within 24 hours, and is said to be far superior, to gland treatment. Many thousands of users report aplendid results, some saying they feel and look twenty years younger.

Use the treatment one week and if you haven't doubled, your former ability or for any reason are not satisfied, your money will be re- man; the Negro race is not the black race; the Negro race is not the colored race; the Negro is somebody of color who is so poor that nobody cares about him. If you represent poverty and you are colored, then you are a Negro. If you represent wealth and prosperity and you are as black as midnight, you use something else. So that you will realize that the prejudice against this race of ours is not because of color, but because of our condition, and so long as we remain in this condition, whether we are full black or whether we have but one-sixteenth Negro blood in our veins, we shall be desplained and looked down: upon as Negroes and kept as Negroes until by our united effort we demonstrate to the world the mettle and quality of which we are made, and when we can do that and measure prosperity with race and measure material success with race, the question of face will be wiped out. Realizing that therefore we are determined through the U. N. L. A. to build up a civilization of our own, or at least restore a civilization of our own on the banks of the Nile, surely we shall resurrect the civilization of Tutt; surely we shall resurrect the civilization of the Nile, and let me tell them that the lost mysteries of Africa that they have been hunting for we have found, and there is no wonder that Lord Carmarvin is dead.
