The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Annotated Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race BOL. XIV. No. 17 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923 THE NEGRO'S TIME OF POWER WILL COME IF HE WORKS FOR IT HON. MARCUS GARVEY WILL PREACH AT LIBERTY HALL; NEW YORK, 120 WEST 138th STREET SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, AT 10:30 A. M. Subject: "FEAR BE EARLY TO GET SEATS. VISIT LIBERTY HALL EVERY SUNDAY MORNING AND EVENING FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The great fight for the preservation of the rights of a race is being waged. The whole world of liberal minds will sit in judgment. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not afraid of the consequences. It is to be expected that a movement as colossal as the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its course of service to humanity must engender the hate and bitter feeling of those who are opposed to reformations and to the causes of human uplift. Speaking for Organizations Organizations cannot speak for themselves, but individuals speak for them, so that to destroy organizations one must first destroy the voice that speaks. It is for that reason that the enemies of Negro liberty seek to destroy Marcus Garvey as the leader of the greatest Negro movement of the twentieth century. But it is apparent that man makes the same mistake in every age. Great principles, great ideals, real spiritual movements cannot be destroyed, even though the leaders die, as for example, Christianity did not crumble because of the death of Christ. Protestantism was not destroyed because of the death of Luther, Mohammedanism was not destroyed because of the death of Mohammed, so also the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot die even though hundreds and thousands of its leaders pass away. Man Drank With Power Sometimes man becomes so drunk with his power that he, for the sake of vanity, tries to exhibit it upon his fellow man for the purpose of showing the authority vested in him, not knowing that sometimes the wanton exercise of such power but lays the foundation for eternal revenge, which in its application visits the sins of the father upon the third and even the fourth generation; so we of the Negro race today are not disturbed with what others seek to do so us in their effort to blight our prospects and hope for a better future. That future shall come and bring with it a restoration of the glories of Ethiopia. Our princes shall once more be restored to power, and then we shall not lightly forget the indignities of the past, but like all other peoples who have suffered and subsequently risen to power shall deal with our enemies as they dealt with us in ages past. Every Race Has a Day Every race has a day, every nation has its time. The Negro, unfortunately, now occupies the lowest rung of the great human ladder, but tomorrow (who can tell?) he may stand at the pinnacle, there to dispense justice to all mankind. Let us not so offend the other fellow that he in his time may return the compliment. Fellow men, let us fight on and be not dismayed, for beyond the distance looms the day of glory, the day of triumph, when Ethiopia's cause will be completely won. Gaining Consciousness of Self We are now expecting the four hundred million Negroes of the world to gain a great consciousness of self. It is not because the Universal Negro Improvement Association is so insignificant that men and movements fight it through its leaders, but because it is such a power that other men see in it the weapon through which a race will be emancipated and a nation created. They do not fight the churches among Negroes, they do not fight the other Negro organizations and movements, because they have no program, because they are going nowhere; but the Universal Negro Improvement Association has a program of its own. It is the emancipation of four hundred million souls and the redemption of a country, the building up of a great government, the laying out of a mighty empire through which the Negro is to constitute himself a ruling power. Impossible to Destroy This is the danger that others see, and that is the reason why they are determined to down this great movement; THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION PAVING THE WAY EVERY RACE AND NATION HAS A DAY ALL NEGROES TO HOLD UP THEIR CORNER OF THE WORLD FOR THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY NOTHING CAN FAIL FOR A PEOPLE WHO HAVE COURAGE AND PERSEVERANCE GREATER BLACK STAR LINES IN THE FUTURE but, men, can they? The answer is, IMPOSSIBLE! Surely they shall not pass, they shall not pass four hundred million determined black men, women and children who are ready to lay down their lives if need be for the permanent erection of a country of their own. The World Lingers in Chaos As the world lingers in chaos, so do we continue to prepare ourselves for the day when the struggle will be waged for each race and people to return and worship under their own vine and fig tree. Surely Africans at home and Africans abroad shall be restored to their ancient glory. For how long can we allow ourselves to be so outraged by a heartless world? We shall remain just so until we get a consciousness of ourselves, and it is that consciousness that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is teaching to each and every one. Lost Manhood Have you lost anything? Yes, you have lost your manhood; you have lost your sovereignty; you have lost the freedom of will. These things must be restored before we can demand the respect of the world, and these are the things that the Universal Negro Improvement Association intend to restore to the race. The pitfalls that they have set for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and those who lead, are too numerous to mention. They struggled to destroy the usefulness of the Black Star Line in its early days, but fools they are. Do they not realize that they cannot permanently destroy the industrial ambition of a race? What is it if one, two, or three, or five Black Star Lines fail? We shall build other Black Star Lines until Ethiopia's commerce shall belt the world, until the ships of Mother Africa shall anchor in every port, until the wealth of our glorious continent is fully stored to make us one among the greatest of the commercial, industrial and maritime races of the world. No One Loses Heart No one loses heart because of what is happening, but everyone takes new courage and new determination to fight on. That is the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; that is the spirit that the world cannot understand. They do not know that there is no failure for us. What others think to be failures are but stepping stones to greater things, as far as we are concerned. Did the Pilgrims Fail? When the Pilgrims failed in the early days they did not give up, otherwise there would not have been a great America. How, therefore, do they expect us to give up because of some apparent failure in some side line of the industrial activities of this great Universal Negro Improvement Association? If the universe would fail because a star MARCUS G AT LIBERTY HALL; NEW YORK; 120 WEST T SEATS. VISIT LIBERTY HALL EVERY SUNDAY MORNING falls, then the Universal Negro Improvement Association would cease to be because the Black Star Line has been treacherously and wickedly handled by disloyal and insincere men. But, men, if creation moves on, if humanity lives, then the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall continue to find its work and perform it. Negroes Not Disturbed Four hundred million Negroes are not disturbed with what now moves the enemies of the race in making a mountain out of a mole hill. We are only preparing ourselves for a greater march, and when the time comes those who have fought us, those who have laid themselves as stumbling blocks in the way, will shed bitter tears. They Know Not What They Do But we must forgive them, because they know not what they do. Some for notoriety, some for the vanity of getting credit for persecuting someone who makes an effort to serve humanity, engineers and carries on the fight against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leaders. But, oh, how we laugh at them! As the great leaders of old have laughed at their persecutors and formentors from the realms of spiritual glory, so shall we laugh at these vain, impossible, calculating beings-for what they do against the righteous cause of a struggling people. Fighting for Our Work Again, let us fight harder for the preservation of our work. There is no dark cloud, but if you imagine there is, then behind it is the silver lining. All that you have to do in your little nook and corner is to hold up the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. We will say that today Africa expects every man to do his duty. You can do it best by holding up your end. Judge the world of Negroes from yourself, let your conduct be the assurance that all is well. Do your part; remember, do your part, and do it well. That is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association expects from each and every one of its members at this time. That is what we expect of every member of the race, and if this is done there is absolutely no reason for fear; the enemy is whipped, and we will have but very little difficulty in impressing that upon him. Let us in America, the West Indies, South and Central America, Canada and Africa rally to the call. Let not the good old colors trail the dust; hold the standard high; let the world know that we are determined either to fall together or rise together as one mighty people to stand forever as part of our material creation and to play our part in the affairs of men. Your Financial Help You can help the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time by sending in your financial contribution and giving your moral support. Send in your $1, $2, $5, $10, $15, or whatsoever you can to the Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, United States of America. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. NEW YORK CITY, June 5, 1923. P. S. I trust that all members, Divisions, Chapters and Branches will hearken to the appeal for support to the Parent Body in helping us to carry on the great work intrusted to us. Members, please pay up your dues and your assessments. See to it that your officers make their regular monthly reports, and get your Division financial with the Parent Body. Do this as your duty, and if this is done by each and every branch surely we will be able to take care of the affairs of the organization. M.

June 2. When Marcus. Garvey proclaimed®-that certain jealous “Negroes urged on’ the Department of Justice to find some legal ground _ on which to arrest, indict and, if possible, to convict‘him, he was charged with spreading propaganda pure and simple. - But the ‘Chicnga Delender lets the cat out of the bag, Qn the front page of the issue of June 2, under the heading “Government's Got “Garvey Going Now,” a brilliantly written article appears, which is con- tinued on the“second page. The tone of the article is that of glee and jubilation. The Chicago Defender rejoices, just as the Philistines rejoiced when they saw S¥m- son bound and shorn of his locks, just as the Indians:rejoiced in their war dance around a,captive, and just as our Southern citizens rejoice at a lynching bee where a'“big, burly Negro” is the victim. And what, pray, does the Chicago Defender rejoice over? ‘It re joices because the “Government's Got Garvey Going Now.” But more - gigwificant, than the rejoicing which shows malice and animus is thé philosophical reflection of the Defender upon the Causa Rerum, upon the Causa Belli, Mark carefully these significant words. The Chicago Defenderosays: “Much public interest has been created in the trial of Garvey that is now in progress. This court act on represents: the first success the large public, which has considered the West Indiin and his| doctrine dangerous, has had"in its fight to be heard.” “ | Garvey at“the fibst success the large public has had in its fight t> ba keard’-rather than the success-of the stockholders?” This indicates that “the large public” represented by the-tditor of the Chitago, Defender was after Garvey just as hunters_go after a dangerous lien or man- cating tiger, and regards the arrest and trial of Garvey just as hunters | regurd a trapped lion or tiger. | We do not ‘cast any reflection upon the officers of justice who investigated the financial affairs of the Blick Star Line, but ave desire our readers to ponder caitefully these words of the Chicago Defender: “This court action represents.the first success the large publ has had in its fight to be heard.” It looks to us as if the Chicago Defender was so intoxicated with joy, so happy over the arrest and ‘trial af Mareus Garvey, that it said more than it intended te say—fet the secret out and! let the cat out of the bas. Now, if the “large public” considered the. West Indian and i doctrine dangerous, why didn’t it openly combat.him in the press, the pulpit and on the platform? Is not the admission that it has to rin to! the courts to stop him a confession fat it couldn't stop him by ‘oice| and pen? Now, if “the large public” considers Garvey and his doctrine dangerous, why not challenge his doctrine boldly aid directly in the courts instead of going the ronnd-ahout avay of bringing him to trial for the failure of the Hack Star Line, when in realty it is alter him because of his doctrines? . 5 If the enemies of Garvey want him jaited or departed because he is reputed to sympathize with the Ku Klux Klan, because he is believed ty he a dangerous character, heeause-he is Sridto incite his iéllowers to Beat and shoot his critics and. beeause his followers are charged with + disturbing public meetings where he is criticized, and interfering with the American principle of free speech, then go and yet him directly, because! he, his doctrines and his followers are not in harmony with American traditions and ideals. Now, let no reader say The Negro World stated that the court action againsf Marcus Garvey represents the first success of -the large public im its fight to be heard. \t_was the jubilant atid ‘rejoicing Chicago Defender that so stated it. Perhaps the Chicago Defender awas wrong. Perhaps the arrest and trial of Garvey was caused solely hy disgruntled stockholders and purchasers of passage to Africa, exercising their con- Stitutional and legal rights. Buf let it be remembered that. the Chicago Defender characterizes the arrest and trial of Garvey as “the first suc~ cess of the larae public in its fight to he.heard.” ' SPEAKING OF MARTYRS ERTULLIAN wrote, “The blood of martyrs is the seed of ths I Church.” We exclaiin that the blood of martyrs4s not only the ~~, seed of the church; but the blood of martyrs is the seed, the veritable roots. from which all great humanitarian movements spring, the Sedrock upon which they are built. “This has been true since the dawn beamed upori a bleak-raw universe; it will be true of all time. It seems part of the natural order of things. -- Alll great movements, whether ‘racial. national or international, have had as their-vanguard a noble band of martyrs, Without them there would be a hiatus in civilization. Such men dre ever afflicted or dis- tressed in mind, body or estate by their Tellows. To shield or protect them from ‘such ‘envy, hatred and malice and uncharitableness seems a task impossible. This unkindness appears as their natural mead for daring to relieve the distresses of, mankind and for lifting: from their _tired shoulders age-old injustices and burdens dire. : “.. No doubt the. Géd-Man had this in mind when He said, “Blessed _afe’you when people taunt you and persecute you.” It is a self: evident truth, but a fact difficult to comprehend why the greatest amount of opposition to. great. movements and persecution of their leaders is always and anon traceable to those who at some time proclaimed them- “Slives “as loyal and sincere followers of such movements and. leaders iu question Effective. apposition ar division, as refated to important thovemente r met const thom wii: tiara mat come from the wei, ‘na that onde — Pb goeiye weer myo first, be, Svided qgpins: emf, fell command al petra how! t Adhen, tive: siouhts have: bain ne hidden wedge: |p. meets p divided kingdom without Rheaboam.

W statement ; otgin other words, a statement, or certain statements, that an individual, or ‘set of individuals,.kmowingly uses 2s substitutes for the truth, A lie is not the misconstruing ‘of any par- ticular issue, or set of issues; but, on the other hand, is a purposeful plan either to besmirch one’s character @r reputation. Its effect is harmful from whatever. angle you'take it, whether it is téld to influence one's actions or retard one's progress, or simply to shake the confi- dence of a certain set of people inthe operation of a good cause. or a person or persons workSig for the same. : But since we cliim that the devil is the father of liars, who also is the prince of this-world, his children are more prone to accept or, in fact, it becomes, more natural for them to receive or promulgate a lie in preference to the truth.at all times. Therefore, a lie is often more sus- | ceptible than the truth to such, because more subtle, and, therefore, more suitable to the major portion of. mankind. But from whatever angle [you measure a liar, the result of such measurement is always the same. be they of the simple or profound type. It is true ail men are liars, as the | Master said, But that does not -give any one a royal warrant to become the Potenate of liars.

[to our mind, rida misstatement of fact from the fundamental quality of falseness, because falseness is wrong, whatever form it takes. There- fore, a lie is no more or less than a misstatement, in one-form ot another, regardless of the reasons for its enunciation. Again, a Hie is most commonly the course taken by. those who do not realize how easily their word may be disproved: hence, it is a suré sign of moral weakitess. Sometimes a lie takes on the malicious form;-in this case it proves its wickedness in being de#berately planned.

Mr. Moare is a talented Negro journalist and poct of Chicago, Tl. and he calls the roll of the pioneers who blazed the path and paved thé way for the present-day’ Negro journalists. These pio- neers labored when the Negro reading public was not very large. They created the reading public. It is worthy of note that ‘T. Thomas Fortune and John E.

L. SERRATE (Continued from page 3) Wheaton, did he dismay the matter with you, or if he was satisfied. (Objection by Mattheus.) Judge: He may answer. He did not dismay the matter at all. He simply accepted the letter, thank it, and gave it back to me. He never discharged the &. &. Phyllis Wheatley or the purchase of it. You never wrote Mr. Garvey a letter bearing on the Phyllis Wheatley. You never saw and spoke to Mr. Garvey of the ship? I never had the time. Can you remember telling Mr. Garvey when he was at New Orleans that the consul stated: "I wish that man could not come back!" I don't remember that. Can you remember any conversation with Mr. Garvey? None at all. Do you mean that as the truth? Yes. Captain, were you ever retained by Mr. Garvey as port captain for the Black Star Line? No. Were you ever retained by Mr. Garvey for the Black Star Line to watch the operations of the steamship company? Yes. In what capacity? Watchman. Just a watchman? Yes. Captain, is it customary for a captain to produce certificate for watchman? It is. You said in your testimony before the District Attorney that you received no orders to go from Cuba to Haiti, and you went there just to be there, did you say that? I did not. You did not? I did not say I never received orders. Didn't you gaitly that you received orders at headquarters from Garvey to go from Cuba to Haiti? I did not receive orders. I said "we" I didn't say "I." You didn't say we; we stated that you received orders from Garvey to go from New York to Haiti, so if you stated that, you stated an untruth. New, when you got paid off in September and went away, to Baltimore, when these letters were written to you how is it you found yourself back on the S. S. Yarmouth in New York, explain before the court and the gentlemen of the jury? Because you are the one who asked me to return to New York before you left New York on the Kanawha. Before I left on the Kanawha when was that, what year? 1921. And what time was it you returned in September, 1921, yes or no? 1821. So that Mr. Garvey left America after September 1921? I did not say he left September, 1921; I said I came to New York just before he left for the West Indies, to be watchman of the Yarmouth. You said that I was' supposed to take the Kanawha out. I am not talking about that, I am talking about the time when you were employed as watchman on the S. S. Yarmouth? That is the time when I came to take the Kanawha out. You told me since I could not take the Kanawha, I should take' care of the Yarmouth until you returned. If the Yarmouth returned in September, 1921, and Mr. Garvey went away in March, 1921, to salt on the Kanawha, how could he offer you captaincy on the Kanawha in September when, in fact, the Kanawha sailed in March? I am asking you at what time you took up the position as watchman on the S. S. Yarmouth? Just before you left for the West Indies in March, 1921. Now in March, 1921, you talked with Mr. Garvey? Before you left. So when you say you had no conversation with Mr. Garvey, you did not remember? That was after you returned. So you had a conversation with Mr. Garvey before he left? He did not say anything to you during that time? He did. Tell us what he said? You took me to Mr. Thompson and told him you would like me to take the Kanawha. He told you that he had already employed Captain Richardson then, you said, you would rather me stay with the Yarmouth. Were you told that the Yarmouth was to undergo repairs by Mr. Garvey? Yes. And then Mr. Garvey left immediately after for the West Indies? Yes. And never returned until this July you mention, and after August? July. So you spoke to Mr. Garvey in August? District Attorney: He said he did. Garvey: He said he didn't before. Mattuck: I object. Judge: He may explain. So you did speak to Mr. Garvey in August? What about?—Here, is the letter I had. What did Mr. Garvey say about it?—He never said anything. When he went upstairs, where did he go—whose office?—I don't know. And after that first occurrence you never in the presence of any one had any talk with Mr. Garvey about the so-called Phyllis Wheatley?—I tried to, and after I could not I wrote a letter. And you never spoke with Garvey after that letter was written?—I did not get a chance. Were you one of a number of men who had some investigation to do bearing on the Black Star Line about the S. S. Phyllis Wheatley?—I was. Did you make statements to those gentlemen?—District Attorney; I object to the question as being indefinite. Indeed, he may answer. Judge: He may answer. Yes. The Black Star Line still owes you money I does. And you are not very pleased with the Black Star Line?—No; I am not. You are not pleased with Mr. Garvey defending his action?—I am not. Were you asked to testify in this case against Mr. Garvey?—I was subpoenaed by the District Attorney. How long ago?—I forgot the date. About a month ago?—A few days ago. Did you discuss this case with anyone after you heard Mr. Garvey was arrested on this charge?—I did not. Of course, I did not before I received the subpoena. Did you damage it with Goodburn and Richardson R-Na. (Another name) and Richard Water? - F did not. After you left the Black Star Line Did you attempt to start a citizenship company, of your own and sold about $6,000 worth of stock? District Attorney: I will object. Your present steamship corporation? Yes. To do the same thing the Black Star Line was to do? District Attorney: I object. Were you in connection with the Cockburn S. S. Company?—No. Smith-Green S. S. Corporation?—No. Only your own?—Yes. Did you know if Cockburn was connected with the Smith-Green S. S. Company?—I do not. I am going to show you your letter that you claim you wrote to Mr. Garvey. Captain. Is this your signature? It is. I would like to have this marked at indication. Handed a document to Marshall. Captain you are well acquainted with the many mishaps affecting the ships of the Black Star Line?—Not all. You know that the Kanawha was disabled more than once?—I know that. You knew on the first trip the S. S. Yarmouth was grounded?—I thought it did. Did you form a conclusion in your mind why all these accidents and mishaps happened? District Attorney: I object. Objection sustained by Court. Exception. —Were you a part of the arrangement to have all these mishaps?—No. At the time when you approached Mr. Thompson at New York and when Mr. Garvey referred him to you as you said, what was your idea of Mr. Thompson's position in the Black Star Line? District Attorney; I object. It is not his idea; it is what he was. Judge: Please repeat the question. (Court stenographer repeated it.) Judge: Sustained. Now, the conversation you had with Mr. Garvey in August, you told him of what Thompson said to you? I do not remember. Bearing on Mr. Garvey's return to the country—I did not have any conversation. The conversation you had with Mr. Garvey in August in which you complain of Thompson's expression. District Attorney: I object. He did not say any such thing. Judge: Sustained. Let's get on. You have a very good recollection of all the things you said to Mr. Garvey between August of 1921 and December of 1921, did you?—No. Did you speak to Mr. Garvey in Sept- ember?—I did not. In October?—I did not. In November?—I was not in New York then. No. In December?—No. Any time in 1921 had you any talk with Mr. Garvey on the matter of Thompson or the S. S. Phyllis Wheatley?—No. What time was it you were investigating the transaction of the Phyllis Wheatley with this committee—in July or August?—What committee? You testified this morning you were a part of the committee which was investigating the affairs of the Phyllis Wheatley for the Black Star Line. Who went aboard the ship? What committee? The committee you had in mind this morning. I had none in mind this morning. Which one? The one you testified to this morning; yes or no? The only committee that. District Attorney: I object. Not sustained. The one that I testified to? Yes, the one that you testified to at the stockholders meeting about repairs. When was it brought into existence? July or August, 1921. Reason for Hia Hostility Reason for His Hostility Did you appear in behalf of that committee in August?—I did. Did you speak to Mr. Garvey during that time regarding the Black Star Line?—I did not. So you investigated the affairs of the Black Star Line and the Phyllis Wheatley without speaking to its president?—I did not investigate. Did you make a report?—I did not. Did you take part in the discussion of the report?—I did. And in gathering that report you never had any talk with Garvey?—No. Since when did you have this hostile attitude toward the Black Star Line before or after you sold stock in your own company? It did not begin till after I found out that matters were being fraudulently handled by officials of the company. In what way? Giving promissory notes, promissory ships and promissory countries to go to. How many ships has your corporation?—One, two, three, four or five? We did not promise anything. Have you sold stock in your steamship company?—Yes. What did you do with the money of your steamship company?—In the bank. There, now?—Yes. All of it?—Yes. During the time that you had observed the different officers of the Black Star Line, during the period of 1921 when you saw Mr. Garvey and when you were turned down for Mr. Richardson.

I do not know. Did you hear Garvey make statements about the Phyllis Wheatley? I did. So there was a ship by that name?—yes. So that if there were no Phyllis Wheatley. District Attorney: Object as being immaterial. Sustained. Exception. Now, captain, you have had business direct with Mr. Garvey?—Sometimes. Has he ever deceived you?—Not personally, no. Has he told you anything you found was untrue?—Sure, certainly, yes. What were they?—Numerous things. Tell us what they are?—Numerous things. Well, if they are so numerous you can remember at least five or ten things. You don't remember? I do. Well, tell us?—I have been deceived on numerous occasions by officials of the Black Star Line. Mr. Garvey: Wait a moment. District Attorney: I object. Judge: He may finish. I was also deceived in the way things were handled by your officials of the Black Star Line by not securing proper man, and one of the ships instead of running on business, was run on propaganda trips. I was also deceived by the Black Star Line procuring vessels, paying more for them than they were worth. Mr. Garvey: I move that this be stricken out, in that it was, not responsive to what Marissa Garvey asked for. Judge: Let's get on. Ask the question. His answer, was not responsive. Judge: Let's get back to the question. Answer may stand. Now, when you are speaking of the officials of the Black Star Line, did you mean to include yourself? District Attorney: He is not an official. Mr. Garvey: Yes, he was. I was not an official of the B. S. L. Were you not one of the commanders of the ships?—Yes, of the ship. What did you mean officials of the corporation or of the ship?—Of the corporation. Lincoln Johnson Cross-examines Make this clear. Remember when you came to New York and went to Washington and came back and saw Mr. Thompson and told him about the possibility of the purchase of what ship?—The Porto Rico. Did you remember if you testified when Mr. Thompson said: "We will have it in six days," that he would not have it?—No. After I came back from Washington. Now, when you came back what was it you said to Thompson about the purchase of it?—I told him we were not going to get that ship as it was not for sale. What other ship did you talk about? "I didn't talk about any other ship." All right. Now after you had talked that way to Thompson, when you came back you went to Baltimore?—Well, Mr. Thompson assured me that he was going to get the ship. ONWARD DO U WANT TO FORGE AHEAD?

Cleo relates that the ugliest and most stupid slaves in Rome came from England, and he urges his friend Atticus not to purchase slaves from Britain because of their stupidity and naptitude to learn music and other accomplishments. With Cressar's opinion of the ancestors of the race which now dominates a goodly portion of the earth we are—most of us—somewhat familiar. He describes the Briton generally as a nation of very barbarous manners. "Most of the people of the interior," he says, "never sow corn, but live upon milk and flesh and are clothed with skins." In other words, he observes: "In their domestic and social habits the Britons are as degraded as the most savage nations and they are clothed with skins, wear the hair of their heads unshaven and long, but shave the rest of their bodies except the upper lip, and stain themselves a blue color with wood, which gives them a horrible aspect in battle." Yet these barbarous, degraded and repulsive looking people have given to the world some of the most eminent and erudite scholars and poets of which any nation can boast. Indeed there is no department of learning in which Englishmen have not excelled and, in many instances, been the pioneers in all advanced thought. In the drama, in the arts, in science and in poetry English scholarship has kept pace with the onward ahead march of civilization, and the genius and profound knowledge of her great scholars have commanded the respect and the admiration of intellectual men the world over. Chaucer, Spenser, John Gowen Minto Caxton, Tom Moore, Tyndale, Thomas Cranmer, Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, Robert Henryson, George Buchanan, Sir Philip Sydney, Richard Hooker, Thomas Jackville, William Shakespeare, Francis Bacon, Ben Jonson, Lord Byron, Southey, Wordsworth, Locke, Coleridge and a host of others quite as brilliant and immortal have splendidly vindicated the Britons from the charge of barbarism and stupidity and have immortalized their names and their country's name and fame for all time to come. Well, now, if people so degraded; so stupid, so horrible to look upon as were these early Britons could rise superior to their conditions and mount the heights of learning and scholarship, may we not assume that other races, notably the darker races, one of which, the African race, gave to the early Greeks and Romans the arts and sciences, letters, government and religion, may be born again to scholarship and rise on stepping- stones of its dead self to higher things? It is my purpose at this time to tell you of some early Negro poets. I shall not class them with the great poets of Europe and America, whose names of household words, for we must remember that while Negroes have written and are still writing some really clever and creditable verse they have not had time to produce, according to modern standards, a really great poet. The signs of promise, however, are encouraging if the few selections I shall presently quote, called from some of the brightest minds of a past and of the present generation, may be accepted as an augury of the future of the Negro poet. You are to remember that I am dealing now with the America Negro poet. It was soil of Tolerance, the African poet, that its dramatic works were much admired by the Romans for their prudential maxima and moral sentences, and compared with his contemporaries it was much in advance of them in point of style. The African, Haytian, Arabian, Brazilian, Porto Rican and Cuban poet of Negro stock do not suffer by comparison with those of any other race. No article or essay dealing with Negro poets would be complete without some reference to that delinity little African manden, Miss Phyllis Wheatley, who more than one hundred years ago achieved the great JOHN H.

Negro Faust and Future Improvement. distinction and honor of being the first of her-sex in this country to write and publish a book of poems. Equally interesting to some of my readers, perhaps, will be the statement that the first mate in this country to mount Pegasus and ride to lofty heights was a Negro slave. Jupiter Hammon, the property of one Lloyd of Queens Village, L. L. in this State, who made his bow in the local paper at that place in December, D. B. in a broadside entitled "An Evening in Thought." In 1778 he wrote an address in verse to Miss Wheatley of twenty-one verses, welcoming her to the fold and lauding her gifts in fullsome phrases. Most of my readers are familiar with the works of Miss Phyllis Wheatley, but I will quote a few stanzas from one of them. "The Providence of God," which discovers her remarkable talents, breadth of thought and elegance of diction: The Providence of God Arise, my soul: on wings enraptured rise To praise the Monarch of the earth and skies. Whose goodness and beneficence appear As round its center, moves the rolling year. year. Or when the morning glows with rosy chams. Or the sun slumbers in the ocean's arms. Of light divine, be a rich, portion lent To guide my soul and favor my intent; Celestial Muse, 'my arduous flight aus- stein of raise my mind to a sarcophile strain. Another of this earlier group of Negro poets to attract the attention of men of letters was George Horton, the black slave poet of Chatham county, who first came into public notice through the medium of the Raleigh Register in 1829, which published his "Hope of Liberty." Horton could neither read nor write, but dictated to his master, who wrote down his verses. His soul was full of "divine fire." At a meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society, Western Reserve (Ohio), in October, 1835, Theodore Weld, recited this poem, a verse from which I will quote: Alas! And am I l-born for this. To wear this slavish chain? Deprived of all created bliss. Through hardship, toll and pain? How long have I in hondage jain. And languished to die free? Alas, and must I still complain. Deprived of liberty? For an untutored slave, ignorant of books and the rules of verification, this is not a bad showing of his remarkable gifts. Horton's first published volume of poems appeared in 1823. As I gather from the Bibliografica Americana, compiled by A. A. Schromburg, secretary of our Negro Society for Historical Research, a second edition of his poems was published at Philadelphia in 1827. Another volume was issued at Hillsboro, N. C., by Dennis Hearr, editor. Hillsboro Recorder, in 1845. Other volumes, chiefly reprints and voxes, hitherto unpublished, appeared in 1844-55. So his heart yearned for freedom. These chains of slavery were galling to him. The insurrection of thought had precipitated open rebellion and his soul in agony cried out against the hated institution in a torrent of words that told what he felt, and how he felt over his condition as a slave. There is a note of despair and des- pendence in these lines which I now quote. They are really poetic; Am I really cast aside? Worst of all, must hope grow dim and withhold her cheerful beam. Rather than let me dream Forever? I have said that the race has not yet had time in which to produce a great poet, and it can offer the same explanation for its failure to do so that Jefferson made to the Abbe Raynal, who had somewhere stated in criticism of America that it had not produced a single scholar of note. Mr Jefferson's plea in extension for this shortcoming was the youth of the New Republic. But despite the youth of the Negro race in this country, it has made greater progress intellectually and industrially in the fifty-nine years of its freedom than was made by the colonists in same period. There are more educated men and women among 12,000,000. Negroes after fifty-nine years of freedom than there was among the white population in the entire thirteen colonies in the same period. The Negro race can today, match the white race with a Negro man or woman who will hardly suffer by comparison with them in any department of learning or scholarship. I am almost ready to withdraw my statement that we have not yet produced a great poet. If this were a real, not a notorious, democracy in which the worth of a man in any legitimate field of endeavor was measured by his merit and ability and not his color or condition, socially, then J. Madison Bell, James David Corrothers, Daniel Webster Davin, Charlotte, Fordom, Frances Ellen Wattking, Harper J. Willes Menard, Islay Waldon; D. A. Payne, Albery A. Whitman, George B. Vashon, W. J. Wilson of the earlier group of race poets were, advantage for advantage, as great poets as any group of white men or women of the same period, who supported a commerce with the muses. The fact that these men and women belonged to a race which is THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923 generally regarded as inferior, even to this day obscured, any inherent greatness that they possessed and those who in our own day have achieved any distinction, owe it to the fact that some white author, more liberal than is usual, has put the seal of his approval upon their work and thus given them prestige and standing, which they could not otherwise have got. Thus Dunbar jumped into fame at almost a single bound. He came to his own, but his own received him not. William Howell recognized his ability and with a stroke of his pen gave him international fame. The psychology of this sort of recognition of Negro genius conceals more than it reveals. It is at once a reflection upon the ability or willingness of the race in the mass to recognize and appraise at their true value our own men and women who are striving in the higher reaches of thought to attain the goal of their ambition, and it is a tribute to the superior vision and keen judgment of the white man, in these circumstances. Thus he designates our poets, political leaders and moral advisers. We accept the designes and confirm the judgment and wisdom of white men by accepting these fortunate objects of their approval. When Miss Phyllis Wheatey, budding forth as the pogostes of the Revolution, a galaxy of the most distinguished and celebrated white men, including John Hancock, the first signer of the Declaration of Independence, put the seal of their approval upon her book and her master took a solemn oath, duly signed and delivered, that she, with her own hand and out of her own African brain, composed and wrote the pieces bearing her name. If any friends or any well known members of the race here in New York should singly or unitedly join in endorsing the work of some rising poet or story-writer here. It would perhaps appeal only to their immediate circle of acquaintances and friends, and the young author would probably have to hunt a job as elevator man in some public office, or enlist in the army. To me, this denotes an alarming condition, discovering all too plainly, our lack of confidence in each other in matters of this kind. I do not think I know of a white man, in whose judgment as to what is best for my race, I have absolute confidence. I can respect, but I cannot accept it as final, for I have not yet come to regard him as a superman. I think we are capable of deciding for ourselves who is who among us, in the literary field and that we ought to encourage morally and substantially just as our white friends do their own, as well as our own undiscovered genius. Negro poets, story writers and authors are not going to be as popular with white readers generally as white authors. They are going to be popular only as they are made so by the endorsement of some noted author of the white race, who may be moved to endorse their books, to induce members of their own race to read them in order to find, out what is back of the black man's mind. Recently, a jury in New York City in the case of the United States versus President Heinrich Koehler, with violating the Espionage Act, could not come to an agreement because one of the jurors said that he could not believe a Negro. There are a great many people in the white race who feel as this man does about the Negro, and especially "us literary Negroes." They do not believe any more than some of us do of them, that we can teach them anything, or that we know anything that they do not know. Of course, they are mistaken, and they would only be convinced of it by a presidential proclamation, supplemented with the endorsement of the white authors' league and a few leading literary journals. We are not, as a race, doing our honest duty toward our men and women who have hitched their wagons to a star and are trying to drive along the limitless pathway of the heavens. We do not properly support them with our means, nor encourage them with words of cheer. When we begin to do this we are going to produce some real great poets and authors of the later groups of our poets. I may mention Paul Lawrence Dunbar, George Reginald Margeson, Fenton Johnson, W. Stanley Braithwaite, James Weldon Johnson, Egbert Martin, Edward Smith Jones, H. Cordellia Ray, George Clinton Rowe, James M. Whitfield and a score of others, of equal merit and ability, all of whom shone brilliantly and wrought wondrously in their day and generation. The Negro race is one of the oldest races and had a civilization thousands of years before Europe emerged from barbarism or America had a place in the social progression: Her scholars, philosophers and posts have already written their names, on the pages of history and in the next twenty or thirty years there will be an awakening among Negroes throughout the world; a revival of letters such as distinguished the black race in another period when it was the acknowledged school-master of Greece and Rome. This is not quite the Negro's day in literature. He is dead now, but he is spon to arise with healing in his wings. Rejuvenated, disenthralled, redeemed, he will stand forth in the full stature of a man and will ably fulfill the promise that Ethiopia shall suddenly stretch forth her, hands unto God and then princes shall come out of Egypt. For out of Egypt have I called my son. We are coming and the Father of us all will bless and prosper the race that gave hospitality and protection to the, Son, of Right-counsess, if it will only believe in itself and be itself. CRIQUI SWINGS RIGHT ON KILBANE'S JAW AND HE SLEEPS TO TUNE OF NINE A large crowd attended the featherweight championship fight at the Polo Grounds Saturday afternoon. Quite a number of prominent New Yorkers were out to see the battle between France and Old U. S. A. about 5 p. m. Criqul came from his dugout escorted by four French soldiers and three sailors. The vast crowd upon seeing them gave them one of the greatest ovations, ever received by a foreign fighter. Then came Kilbane with a head of almost gray hair. We do not know if this was caused by age or not. When he threw off his robe he appeared to look in the best of condition. The crowd yelled three cheers for the champion. The moving picture men and newspaper men were quite busy for about fifteen minutes. Then the bell rang and the battle started. Kilbane left himself rather open, as if to say this guy is a set up; I'll get him when I am ready, but Criqul kept after him, swinging left and right, but Kilbane was able to avoid them up to the fifth round. In the sixth round the right of Criqul swung on Kilbane's jaw and he fell flat on his back. Criqul wins easily. TO THE MEMORY OF MRS. SARAH A. FERRIS Dedicated to William H. Ferris A sunlit hill this holds a grave. A precious gem in casket fair. Claimed by the Maker's hand which give Its jewel for my joy to share. Beyond the virgin fields and valley Smile in the ardor of their May. Forgotful that the winter gales Will rob them of their hues now gay. Like raven locks on brow 'neath mould (That made the rose idolring glow. When in her locks those fingers cold Twined birds when youth was in its glow) Robbed of their jet, while breezes haunt The tranquil sleeper all in vain. To toss her curls to air and vaunt Of their caresses once again. Why from my heart should she be torn To leave its altar dark and bare? Some truth to teach, to wake my groan? No. It is but God's tender cure; For He who mingles flesh and bone So lovingly with dust to save Knows of the depths which make me And prizes soul above the grave. And youth smiles on and flowers trade The perfumes—God hath made it so. If youth should weep and blossoms fade When souls to their elysium row, How sad would be the mourner's fate. But He preserves the smile and bloom To hint of those pure joys which wait Beyond the valley of the tomb. So as I give my faith to Him, I yield to God her image, too; For He who robes eve in the dim May clothe the spirit fair and new. As dawn returns in joy at dawn The roser for night's long rest. The mother of whom I was born Shares twilight blessings that are best Design the hills the setting sun Writes glowing tales, which I can trace Of loving deeds that she lays doe, And hints of her esthetic place. And yet no search her steps reveals: The valley points to peaks a high. And when to lofty realms I steal The mountains whisper of the sky Affrighte the divine to tell: For in mine heart there is the root Of hope to make faith's blossom swell So when my tute, so joins, A weary from its journey vain.

Dat o'l mule o' mine what I calls Bess WHEN SULLIVAN MET PETER JACKSON WHEN SULLIVAN MET PETER JACKSON Tim McGrath tells this story: "Jerry Bourke, old-time newspaper man of San Francisco, for the last twenty years a resident of Chicago, dropped in and gave me a very interesting story about the first meeting between John L. Sullivan and Peter Jackson. "The meeting occurred on the Mariposa, the big liner that used to run between San Francisco and Australia, and on which Fitzsimmons, Griffo, Creedon and other great ones came to America. "Sullivan was going to Australia with his combination of fighters and actors and had boarded the Mariposa long before the time of sailing. John, as might be expected, was feeling pretty 'glorious', and he sat on the deck on a low chair, jumping two or three children on his knee and waving at the crowd that had assembled on the dock to bid film farewell. "Sullivan was still on deck when Peter arrived at the wharf with the late W. W. Naughton and walked up the gangplank to say goodbye to the engineer, one of his old friends. "The crowd immediately recognized Peter, who by the way, did not know that Sullivan was already on board, and when Peter walked up the plank he received a great cheer, which he acknowledged with a smile and a wave of his hand. "While Peter stood there talking, Jack Barnett, the manager of Sullivan, came down the stairs, greeted Peter, and then asked him if he would come on deck and be introduced to John L. Peter hesitated. I am afraid that would not be the proper thing to do. Mr. Barnett, he said. "Do you feel bitter toward Sullivan?" asked Barnett. "Not in the learnt," replied Peter. "I am satisfied that Mr. Sullivan is a gentleman. But so many things have been said in the papers, many of them not true, that he may not like to meet me" "Don't worry about that, Peter," said Barnett; "John understands everything thoroughly." "John had been drinking for several days in anticipation of his departure. Peter knew this and he knew, too, that when John was 'in his cups' he said what came to his mind—and said it loudly. So Peter tried to excuse himself. 'Some other time, Mr. Barnett,' he said; 'not now.' "Barnett took him by the arm. 'Come, Peter,' he said, 'you and Sullivan are the two greatest fighting men. In the world. I want to see you together with your hands clasped.' "So Peter, more or less dubious as to the propriety of the thing, followed Barnett to the deck." "Sullivan was still sitting on the chair playing with the children. Barnett left Peter standing near to the captain's cabin, walked over to Sullivan, placed his hand, on his shoulder, and said: "John, I want you to meet a gentleman—Peter Jackson." Then he motioned Peter to come ahead. "Sullivan arose to his feet and straightened to his full height, his square chin in the air, defiance written all over him. "Jackson advanced quietly, a smile on his face, the acme of politeness. 'Peter,' said Barnett, 'meet John L Sullivan.' "Jackson put out his hand, but Sullivan, ignoring the hand, blurted out: 'I CAN LICK ANY MAN IN THE WORLD!' "And I, said Peter, 'will fight any man in the world.' "Suillian stood for a moment, unde- cided, apparently, as to what to do or eay next—probably a bit ashamed. "Then he reached over and grasped Peter's still outstretched hand"—Tad, in the New York Journal. **DROPSY** Treatment. It gives quick relief. Grilling and short breath can gone. All distressing symptoms rapidly disappear. Liver and kidneys set down. Call a trial treatment absolutely FREE. Try it. Never heard of anything equal for dropsy. Write to the author. The influence of the Negro Press is widening. It is not many years since it was the joke of the nation. Today it is different. Our journalism has been heightened in character and broadened in its spirit. There is no good reason to wonder about the matter. The existence of the fact represents a growth, natural, inevitable and progressive. I am old enough to know something of the history of the Negro newspaper. In its more modern aspects I helped to rock the cradle. I have hearkened to its lusty outcries and have noted its upward trend and the forward bent of its aspirations. T. Thomas Fortune, the elder Murphy, George L. Knox, John Mitchell, Chrils, Perry, Allison W. Sweeney, Ed Cooper, the Pelham Brothers, the Adams Brothers, Steward of Louisville, Jerome B. Peterson, John Stevens Durham, John E. Bruce, Nelson Crews, and the Denver Jackley are names to conjure with. Time will mellow their achievements. The historian of the period of their domination will record it a "Golden Age" during which the race began to shape its destiny toward the higher social aims: Journalism and its men and women have done their part well and valiantly, and the end is not yet in sight. The national party conventions are little more than a year away. It is more than nearly certain that the present distinguished occupant of the White House will again be the standard bearer of the Republican Party. One cannot be quite as certain concerning the Democrat standard bearer. But the really startling bit of political news is the fact that Henry Ford is looming as an independent Presidential possibility. It looks like that herein lies good opportunity for the colored man—and—brother—to show his political hand to good advantage. But it is quite a year away, and many things can happen in that time—W.

Just prior to the hour for the beginning of the ceremony at 2.30 p. m., heavy showers of rain began to fall and fears were entertained of a "wash-out," but Providence had otherwise decreed, and about 3 p. m. not only had the black clouds, disappeared, but a great concourse of people had gathered in the hall to watch and listen to the proceedings. At 2:30 p.m. the band struck up a lively march, then was heard the tramp, tramp, tramp of feet and a procession. The Black Cross Nurses, followed by the members of the choir (all in uniform). The various representatives from other organizations, chapters and divisions, and the officers of the division bringing up the rear, filed from downstairs. All eyes from upstairs watched the approach of the procession as it filled up the center aisle and took up its position in the hall, a massive column of exquisite pomp and granduer. The beautifully decorated spacious hall, the brilliant display of the uniforms distinguishing the various auxiliaries, the resplendent show of the officers in regalia of their respective offices—the admirable appearance of the huge crowd that attended presented a unique picture, and, as some one rightly remarked during the ceremony, "A galaxy of beauty." On the platform with the officers of the division were seated: Mr. C. A. Reid, vice-president and representative from Colon Division; Mr. W. Dawkins, Gatun Division; Mr. A. B. Williams, president Gambao Division; Mr. W. S. McCourty, president New Providence Division; Messra, S. M. Thomas, E. W. Taylor, (chapter No. 14, Panama City); Miss Eva Johnson, lady president Division No. 17 (Panama City); Mrs. F. H. Walters, Red Tank Star Lodge; Mr. R. Gittens, Isthmian League of B. W. L.; Mr. Geo, Williams, chaplain Gambao Division. The meeting opened with the singing of the hymns, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," and "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," after which the chaplain conducted the religious ceremony. The entire audience sang "God of the Right," and the choir followed with an anthem. The president after a few appropriate words of welcome introduced Mr. C. A. Reid of the Colon Division as chairman of the function. Mr. Reid on taking the chair made a short but glowing oration, which proved to the audience that no better man could have been selected to preside on this auspicious occasion. The various representatives gave most inspiring addresses, and proved that the mean-hearted Negroes of the organization who with difficulty only absented themselves from this unique event deserved the pity if not disdain of right thinking people. Such were the speeches and addresses that the writer finds it a most difficult task to particularize on any special speaker, but mention must be made of the good wishes and greetings conveyed from the Colon Division by its representative, Mr. C. A. Reid, whose address was couched in real choice language and was truly inspiring, Mr. T. B. Neely, secretary of Cristobal Silver Clubhouse, with all the force of his oratorical powers kept the audience's attention riveted on him. While throughout here and there he provoked outbursts of laughter, he never failed to impress seriously on his hearers the necessity for an organization as this, the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. He spoke strongly on the lack of race pride and race consciousness among the black race and urged his hearers to copy not what was a pattern and idol of other races, but all that was highest and noblest in the black race from its ancient history to the present day. He dealt very forcefully on the lack of suitable leaders, and urged all to mark and follow such leaders as would not be followers, and tools, and looking glasses for other races. He did not fall also to urge everyone to give to the youth, the children who would be the future black generation and nation, the fullest and highest possible education. Prolonged cheers followed as this speaker concluded. Miss Eva Johnson, the lady president and representative from Division No. 17, of Panama City, Rose amidst cheers. The pleasant smiles of this speaker served as a complementary accompaniment to her inspiring address, and were no less well received. Among other things, Miss Johnson, declared that so long as years and events cannot obliterate the past powers and influences of woman, from the history of nations and generations, so long would the women of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. fail not nor yield an inch, until they had demonstrated to the world at large, of what, stuff and calibre, the women of the Universal' Negro Improvement Association were made. She made a powerful appeal to the women to rise to the occasion, fall into the sanks and stand side by side with the men, and help and encourage and counsel them to put this great race program over. It was certainly a most winning appeal, especially coming, as it did. from an ardent and zealous worker in the ranks. Mr. F. H. Walters, Wesleyan Cathechist, representative from the Red Tank Star Lodge, went a long way during his address boosting the work and worth of the U. N. I. A. He spoke in his usual calm, almine, deliberate, ecclesiastical manner. He challenged any member of the audience to rise and refute the fact, that great and continuous injustice was being mired out to the black race-from past ages to the present day. "Since this fact remains undeniable and incontrovertible," said the speaker, "we unitedly hall the Universal Negro Improvement Association" as a step to racial redemption. The speaker urged the officers' and members to continue the good work, in spite of enemies within and, without, in spite of dark clouds and thorny paths, to follow unfalteringly the great god—blessed leader—the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and while holding his hands up, and marching on steadfastly in prayer to prepare to stand by as witnesses even unto death. After congratulating the officers for the grand achievements made by the division and praising the members for their stick-to-titleness he ended with a prayer that God would bless the U. N. I. A., and especially Division No. 534. The ringing cheers and applause which interrupted and concluded the addresses were sufficient testimony to speakers and their speeches. The choir interspersed the proceedings with some beautiful anthems, "Daughter of Zion," was rendered with telling effect, and deserved the applause which followed, and spoke volumes for the choirmaster. The event of the evening, however, was still being anxiously awaited, and when the chairman announced that the next item on the program would be the "Unvelling of the Charter," the announcement was re-echoed with suspenseful cheers, from the many hundreds of voices that thronged the building. Every head leaned forward, every eye was fastened, to a spot on the platform, where, on raised pedestal, between two upright rods, stood something concealed from view, by a double-lad rich, white-velled curtain, guarded as it were from above by the Union Jack floating on the right, the Stars and Stripes proudly waving on the left, and lifting itself proudly up in the centre fluttered the Red, Black and Green. While the audience steered to this spot their attention was suddenly taken away to the chair, where Mrs. Reese's nightingale's voice was rendering, in beautiful style, the solo, "Unfold in Beauty." This item, however, had been so dramatically arranged, that anxiety would be provoked to fever heat, before the actual unveiling should take place. So, while Mrs. Reece and the chore attracted the attention of all present with that grand rendition, Miss Rose Rohmann and Miss Emmie Kinton, escorted by the President and Executive Secretary, captured the attention of the audience, who eagerly watched as they calmly marched down and up the aisles onto the platform and stood erect on both sides of the voiled Charter Case. The two young daughters of Ethiopia looked exquisitely picturesque, as they stood imposingly, with charming gold coronets on their heads, the points of which were illuminated with glittering silver stars. Imagine the gaze of the eager onlookers and the silence that prevailed as with gavel in hand, and with clear, uplifted voice, little Miss Robinson call; Mr. Chairman, officers and members, and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League: By authority vested in me, L. Rose Milicent Robinson, on this the sixteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two, do unveil this Paraiso Division Charter, No. 534, in honor of the authority invested in the officers and members of the U. N. I. A., & A. C. L. of this community, in honor of His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League and Provisional President of Africa; and in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Miss Rose concluded her declaration simultaneously with three raps of the gavel, and the two lasses slowly pulled the cords hanging down at either end, and the white, silken curtain parted, leaving to the public a beautiful glass case, of master workmanship on which stood the letters U. N. I. A. & A. C. L., Division No: 534, over which were beautifully inscribed on an arch the motto "One God, One Alm, One Deathy," the handwork of Mr. R. L. Morrison, Vice-President, and Mr. Marshall, a local Negro painter of rare ability. The tremendous cheer, which, figuratively, rent the roof must have been two-fold, for the unveiling and for the exquisite beauty and workmanship of the Charter Case. The words "Oh, Beautiful," "Grand," "Lovely," Fine," could be heard from voices all over the hall as the crowd from downstairs, attracted by the loud and prolonged cheers, rushed upstairs, blocking the entrance by the staircase. There was a pause as Mr. Williams (the president of the Gambia Division) stepped forward and, standing between the two unveilers, seized the glittering brass latch of the glass THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1963 case and opening said in loud stentorian voice, with unified right hand. "In the presence of Almighty God and these persona' have assembled... I declare this Charter, No. 884, opened to public gase." There was another outburst of applause, which was stopped short as the hand and organ struck up; the choir led off, and the entire audience rose and sang "Ethiopia, thour land of our Fathers." "Truly it may be said, 'Never before could that great anthem have been more lustily sung.' As the words "Advance! Advance!" rang through the air, there was not a single voice that did not chime in with heart and soul and mind; and the impressiveness of the ceremony could not fall to draw out tears of joy from the eyes and hearings of many. The Chairman called on Bro. I, I. Myers, the Executive Secretary, to read aloud the Charter. This and also a short history of the life of the division, showing that the division was not yet 6 months old, the Executive Secretary gave in his usual lucid style. Again followed a chorus of applause that fairly shook the building. There was a short intermission given, during which the delegates were entertained at refreshment, and the photographs of the officers, the charter, and choir and Black Cross Nurse auxiliaries were taken. The intermission ended, the proceedings continued, and once again the audience was treated to another, most impressive ceremony. This was the installation of officers. This ceremony was conducted by President A. B. Williams of the No. 19 Gambona Division, ably assisted by Miss Eva Johnson, lady president of No. 17 Panama City, And. Bros. E. W. Taylor and R. T. Gittens of Chapter No. 14, while Bro. George Williams of the Gambona Division No. 17 officiated as chaplain. As the presiding officer read the charges to the various officers and Miss Johnson, with very appropriate words and sentiments, pinned on the respective badges of office, those on whom the responsibility of carrying out the work of the division has been placed were escorted to their seats, amidst tremendous applause. At the conclusion of the installation ceremony, the choir, under the able leadership of the choirmaster rendered another beautiful anthem. The remaining representations delivered their messages, which were all brimful of cheer and inspiration. The following message was received and read from S. C. DeCoteau, who should have been present to deliver an address. Panama, 14th St. No. 91. Box 1151, A. C. Z. July 14, 1922. Bro. L. L. Myers. Executive Secretary. Paraliso Division No. 334. U. N. L.

Owing to prearrangements made for the 16th inst., I regret and will regret very much (to my detriment) my absence to such an important historical epoch," re the citizens of Paraliso. Had I the gift of speech, yes language to pen. I would but move your heart and stir your blood as to the intrinsic meaning of Chapter No. 534, "The Negroes' Declaration of Rights" sent broadcast to the world in August, 1820, is as dear and priceless to every individual Negro as the evangelizing Gospel of Jesus Christ, who made Abraham excel in justice and clemency. Isaac with fear, Jacob with strength, Moses with meekness and miracles, Joshua with war, Phineas in zeal, David in religion and victory, Solomon in knowledge and favor also fame. Peter in faith, John in charity, Jacob in devotion Thomas in prudence, Magdalen in contemplation and Martha in officiousness. It is dearer, and more important to us than the Magna Charita of 1215, the petition of right of 1628, the American independence of 1776 and the independence of France, which we today celebrate for justice, liberty and confraternity. I must congratulate your division on such a laudable step in racial uplift. Thanking you for your kind invitation, of which I shall grace with my spiritual presence. Fraternally yours, S. C. DecOTEAU. The chairman concluded the ceremony with a brief address, expressing how impressive the whole evening's proceedings had been. His address certainly had a very telling effect on all who heard him. The president, J. A. Parchment, in his usual, calm, deliberate and forceful manner, spoke with emotion on the indelible impression which the division was making. To the various representatives and speakers, the audience, Mr. Neely, club house secretary, who spared no pain to accommodate the division in this important event, he, the president, conveyed the unstinted gratitude of the officers and members of the division. He extended a hearty invitation to all non-members to visit the meetings of the association and become members of this great colossal movement for the advancement of the race. When the president, in his concluding remarks, declared that this event was but the beginning of the great things which Division 634 had on its program, determined to accomplish, the audience's appreciation burst out in fervorous cheers. Cheers were given for the representatives, the chairman, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The band struck up the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," the chaplain read the closing ceremony, the benediction was pronounced and hundreds of voices, highly and sweetly tuned from the in- (Continued from page 7) U.

Summary of Year's Report It is with unlimited pleasure that I submit this brief report of one year's life of Division No. 534, U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. It was found d on the 13th day of January, 1922, primarily through the initiative of Brother J. A. Parchmont, our esteemed president, with five other officers elected to steer the nucleus of this division—president, vice-president, secretary, assistant, and treasurer. On the 30th day of January, 1922, an application for a charter was made, which was readily granted, by the parent body in New York on the 28th day of February, 1922. This charter, numbered 534, electrified the Negroes of this section of the Caual Zone and then the division started to make rapid strides. As an independent division, therefore, our operations rightly started on the arrival of the charter on March 11, 1922. Those who were present at the unveiling of this Charter No. 534 in Paraliso on Sunday, July 16, 1922, can recall to memory the noble achievement, and which will ever be an illustrious page in the history of this division. I would here state that we as a division have tried hard to look up to the pledges we made at our inception and on that historic occasion. We admit that we have not done all that we would like to have done, but when we think of the many obstacles and oppositions, the coldness shown by many Negroes, and the resistance and persecution rendered by others, we think that we have just cause to feel that we have done our beat, and that the Almighty God has kept and blessed us, and to today with contrite and grateful hearts we invite you here to join in "Raising our Ebenezer to His Name." We cannot boast of a flowery path throughout the past year, but it is with a feeling of pride and satisfaction that I make hold to say, "We have been able to live down" and live above the various oppositions and difficulties from without and within, so common to all associations that are philanthropical. Our membership has been steadily growing. In the month of March, you we established a "back relief fund" in an auxiliary, whose very name he speaks its necessity and usefulness. By it we have been able to aid and slek and deserving members, who contribute thereto. I am glad to report however, that very few members impartatively have found it necessary to draw on this fund. The high and lofty aim and principles of the I. N. I. A. and of division particularly seem to be a health-giving, inweargating time in keeping our members healthy and well. Since our inception we regret to report the death of our member. Our activities have not only been confined to the limitations of our教室. During the year we have based ourselves in trying to extend the doctrine, teachings and principles of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. to every Negro who could possibly be reached Nor is it only in spreading the gospel of the U. N. I. A. that we have expanded our wings and influence, but the association has interested itself in every needy cause outside of its membership. We feel that that is but doing our duty. We shake hands with faithful followers and fellow-members of this division and also the organization; living what we sing, one in heart, one in hope, and one in charity. We have succeeded in consolidating the U. N. I. A. operations on the Canal Zone as a result of this invaluable effort. The first Canal Zone Conference was held at Gambia on May 28, 1822. At this conference the Paralco, Gambia, Gatun and New Providence divisions were represented. The detailed and elaborate program deliberated on at that conference is still under consideration, but its wide, scope and applicable material and propositions will, when made a practical reality, serve to amplify our efforts to unify our people as a race, to develop the spirit of race consciousness, race pride and love, and the establishment of independent Negro communities which aim this division has made specific in accordance with our constitution. During the course of the year it was obvious that the situation of our hall in Parasco was to our detriment, and so efforts were made to secure a new Liberty Hall. Our presence here today is the result of our intiring efforts in this, our new Liberty Hall, as true Negroes, we reverently say, "God has been and is with us". His "Pillar of Christ" has never left us by day, and His glorious "Pillar of Fire" has never ceased to guide, lead and direct us by night. I must not omit from this report even passing mention the untiring zeal shown by the officers and members who have remained faithful to the division. There has been a year of duty, of service, of sacrifice for the uplift of our dear Negro race, and unwavering loyalty to Division No. 534. The officers at present are: Measur, J. A. Patchment, president; R. L. Morrison, vice-president; I. L. Myrion, executive secretary; D. T. Lawson, general secretary; J. Miller, associate secretary; J. Hamil, treasurer; J. Skete, president, muscular aid, Wm. Rye, chairman of Honourable Advisory Board, T. A. Johnston, J. A. Stevens, J. King, treasurer; W. S. Lewes, chaplain, Mr. L. Holder, lady president; M. D. Dearnett, lady secretary; Mrs. A. Wilmett, lady vice-president; It is impossible to eliminate danger on the work done by every other member but I cannot complete this record without specifying a few who stand out in hold reef of oil president Mr. J. A. Tremont and vice president Mr. N. L. Morton it must be said, they have more than fully fulfilled their jobs as leaders in the division. Never wears, never treads, they have never been found hiding where anything has to be done in Division No. 316 Honestly, it must be said we could not find better men than these two offices.

ISABELUE R. JONES ‘Bohol of Beauty Culture 18 Clin Ave, Brooklyn, N. Yt Decatar 3504. La Compañía Trasfiltración Zapadoola acaba de tocar la decisión grave de suspender las escalas de sus buques en Nueya York, a causa de la aplicação que se da en dupuerto a la ley de prohibición. Buques extranjeros aqui de transito con gasajeros y carga destinados a países absolutamente ajenos a las leyes internas de los Estados Unidos aparecen, bajo las prescripciones de la reciente decisión de la suprema corte de justicia, sometidos a los reglamentos de la Union. Nuestra Organización, el Mgs Prepotente de Todas los Movimientos de Nuestra Raza en el Universo, Sometida a la Mayor de las Pruebas—Su Honorable Presidente, Centro Donde Dirigen Sus Flechas los Traidores—Valor y Determinación Basados en un Ideal Sin Compromisos, Por la Adquisición de un Derecho y la Práctica de Justica Humana El hecho no puede ser más arbitrario y así lo patentizan en su protesta diferentes naciones europeas. Francia, Italia, Grecia, España, por ejemplo, que legalmente y por contratos en toda regla deben servir vinos y licores a sus pasajeros y tripulantes, verianse obligadas, para cumplir con la ley aqui violar la de sus respectivos gobiernos. Conflicto semejante no se habia presentado, en .esta magnitud, nunca anteriormente. El que la prohibición lo produza es una nueva demostración de la deficiente adaptación de esta reforma al sentido actual del criterio moderno. No ha existido aun verdad alguna que haya sido correctamente interpretada. La humanidad ha diferido siempre en su interpretación de programas y movimientos. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha llegado a tal estado de organización que ha causado que la humanidad trate mas serlamente sus propósitos. Con todo cuanto se haya manifestado describiendo el ideal de esta gran organización, vemos aun individuos que nos tratan con cierto grado de sospecha, reusando admitir la bondad que dimana de este gran movimiento, el cual con gran celo defiende los intereses generales de nuestra raza en el universo. Sin duda que todos los países del mundo, como los extranjeros que aqui residen acatan y respetan el derecho de los Estados Unidos al legislar, razonable o equivocadamente, sobre sus problemas interiores. Pero lo que es peregrino y no hacedero, al menos en forma normal, es que la legislación interior de esta nación haya de imponer a la de otros países hasta en el funcionamiento de sus propias legislaciones. Aquellos que guian el destino de esta organización no han de permitir ser derrotados por la malicia y la traición, sosteniendo por muy alto los principios y objeto de este gran movimiento de nuestra raza, negándose a comprometer la libertad, adelanto y prosperidad futura de todos y cada uno de los elementos que la constituyen. Este paradógico aspecto ha adquirido el desenvolvimiento de la prohibición. Cargadores españoles por ejemplo, que envien sus mercancías a compradores de Méjico de Cuba; de Centro América, tienen que sufrir, por el sólo hecho de hallarse Nueva York en el curso de la ruta maritima de los buques españoles, las cortapias, impedimentos y penalidades que la prohibición nunca pudo desear sino para los Estados Unidos. El mundo entero actualmente somete a prueba nuestra estabilidad,abilidad y determinación para llevar avante el movimiento de adelanto por nosotros mismos creado y hemos de demostrar que no solamente somos lo suficiente capaces para ocupar puestos de responsabilidad, sino que también somos dignos del reconocimiento como hombres, con la misma ambición e iniciativa de cualquier otro ser existente. A esta situación, naturalmente no se han prestado las empresa extranjeras y el caso de la Trasatlántica es un episodio. Debe esperarse que la solución se halle pronto. Pero en todo caso, quedará de mostrado para los que creen posible adoptar reformas empiricas más preparadas, mál documentadas como esta, que no es factible hoy por hoy governor el mundo por legislación que ignore las realidades de la vida. Nadie podrá negar que nuestra organización ha iniciado el movimiento más prepotente de la raza en el presente siglo. Si la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra no puede permanecer en pié, nada que de nosotros provenga podrá resistir los ataques de nuestros enemigos; pero con nuestra determinación esta organización permanecera a pié firme como la roca sólida del Gibraltar y nada ha de interponerse en el camino hacia la realización de su programa; sus principios son muy nobles para ser destruidos por mero poder humano. Los Estados Unidos no están aisldos del resto del mundo de hecho, porque su historia es generosidad y virilidad hastane para no permitirles aislarse: ni de derecho, porque frente a los derechos de cada país existen los oquestos de los demás. Y la solución armoniosa se impone a la costa o la larga sobre La Prensa, N. Y. Con tal objeto vendrán de todas partes, capitancados por distintas clases y con diversos propósitos. Unos intentarán injuriarnos nacional y politicamente, otros trataran absorvernos económicamente, los demas lucharán por la restricción de nuestro privilegio educativo. Para afrontar todas estas dificultades en perspectiva hemos de prepararnos a vencerlas reconquistando la victoria a perecer sumergidos en el abismo del olvido. El Valor de los Pueblos Ante la posteridad, ante la historia, todo gran pueblo debe aparecer como una vegetación cuyo desenvimiento ha tendido armoniosamente a producir un fruto en el que su savia acrisolada ofrece al porvenir la idealidad de su fragancia y la secundidad de su simiece. Sin este resultado duradero, "humano", levantado sobre la finalidad transitoria de lo "util", el poder y la grandeza de los imperios no son más que una noche de suenio en la existencia de la humanidad; porque, como las visiones personales del suenio, no merecen contarse en el encadenamiento de los hechos que forman la trama activa de la vida. A la retaguardia de nuestro movimiento de avance se iergue un gran imperio: un grande y noble gobierno en construcción que en el mañana se levantará entre las grandes naciones del mundo y no con venganza, sino con la inteligencia adquirida por la experiencia de las dificultades del pasado, nuestra generación futura, revestida con su propia autoridad nacional, impartirá justicia humana, no la justicia a nosotros impartida en todas las épocas por los poderes dominantes. La historia de nuestra raza, escrita en el presente para que nuestra generación venidera la estudie en el futuro, ha de contener gran número de inspiraciones, las cuales han de vangliar los grandes martirios y sufrimientos de nuestros antepasados. Aquellos que actualmente laboran en esta gran obra sin limite, preocupándoles muy poco las consecuencias personales, se sienten satisfechos al tener el conocimiento de que sus nombres serán escritos en libro del tiempo para que su recuerdo quede impercecedero como honor y gloria de su raza. Gran civilización, gran pueblo, en la aception que tiene valor para la historia, son quellos que, al desapa-recer materialmente en el tiempo, dejan vibrante para siempre la melodia surgida de su espiritu y hacen persistir en la posterior su legado imprecedero, según dijo Carlyle del alma de sus "heroes"; "como una nueva divina porción de la suma de las cosas." Tal, en el poema de Goethe, cuando la Elena evocada del reino de la noche vuelve a descender al Oreo sombrio, deja a Fausto su túnica y su velo. Estas vestiduras no son la misma deidad; pero participan, habiéndolas llevado ella consigo, de su alteza divina, y tienen la virtud de elevar a quien las posee por encima de las cosas vulgares—Jose Enrique Rodo (Uruguayo). El sentimiento humano ha sido siempre el mismo con respecto a su actitud hacia nuestra raza; el elemento que lucha solamente ha recuperado su alma, sintiendo aun la presión de la actitud en su contra. Por medio de este individuo podemos ver esperanza; podemos ver la salvación de la raza; pero, cuando fijamos nuestra vista en el elemento de educación, de posición y de refinamiento, vemos que apesar de sufrir las consecuencias del mismo prejudicio, está satisfecho de disfrutar de un estado de vida ficticio, con la esperanza de ser respetado como lo son los miembros de la otras razas, engañandose a sí mismo. Para que el Negro, sea cual fuere su estado de cultura o posición, reciba el respeto y reconocimiento del mundo, tiene primero que establecer su verdadera actitud de hombre y no bajar la cabeza ante otro ser a quien crea superior, en señal de servitud. Tal respeto y reconocimiento pueden ser adquiridos por medio del propio, respeto a sí mismo, progreso y desenvolvimiento propios, lema de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Ninguna otra organización de nuestra raza ha presentado lucha por nacionalidad; ninguna otra organización ha despertado el interes universalmente, parte en pro y parte en contra. La mente liberal ha visto derecho y justicia en el programa de esta gran organización; los inconcientes ven una amenaza que intervendrá con sus privilegios. No luchamos con el objeto de satisfacer al universo; luchamos para nuestra propia satisfacción con un solo propósito; el propósito de plantar los colores de nuestro estandarte en el continente africano, el cual nos dará una patria, una nación y una raza. El Socialismo en Disolución La convención nacional socialista se ha visto forzada a darse por entendida de la declinación de su influencia y poder electoral. Se adoptaron dos medidas para salir del paso. La primera abolia los oradores callejeros del partido, que mucho más que las antorchas que aparecen en las papeletas de las candidaturas electorales; representaba como simbolo principal al socialismo desde hace muchos años. La segunda resolución disolvió la comisión conjunta de hombres y mujeres, y constituyó a éstas en comisión separada. Estas remedias servían de comuniflage a la verdadera dificultad que atravira la elección del Orden calle- Juro y su donación en la contauría su aldea unidad en el parish. Sus cuales unidades paralizaron el ingreso de suicia. Durante la guerra al parish presentó solidar- mente como opuesto a la guerra, opuesto al reclutamiento, antipatri- tico. Descaba el sabotage contra la guerra. Parció preferir la victoria allemana a la victoria alada. Misa tarde fue desorganizado por disenasiones entre los bolsheviques o comunistas y la facción que se rebelo contra la aceptación de las ordenes de Lenine. El verdadero partido socialista es un club proprietario, que se gobierna en beneficio de los gerentes. Es una empresa capitalista. Todos los socialistas tienen que pagar para hacer que aiga funcionando. El periodico New York Call solicita subcripciones para un fondo con que capitalizar en publicación. Los miembros que no pagan sus cuotas son borradas. Nadie puede ser candidato a un puesto en la directiva 6 tenerintervención en las juntas del partido a menos que compre tal derecho. Un partido político de esta clase es ajeno a la concepción y a las costumbres americanas. Nuestros pueblo cree en las asociaciones políticas libres, en las que todos son electores con iguales derechos. El voto es inherente al derecho de socio. Aparte de sus odiosos antecedentes durante la guerra el partido socialista actúa bajo la permanente desventaja de sus procedimientos antiamericanos de gobierno. Es una planta exótica, que con seguridad no ha sido jamás trasplantada a este terreno y que no es probable que eche raíces, en tanto que mantenga sus tradiciones y procedimientos antidemocráticos. Labor de la Conferencia Para el Reconocimiento Las comisiones de Méjico y los Estados Unidos reunidas en conferencia para sentar las bases para el reconocimiento del gobierno del presidente Obregón por el de la Casa Blanca, han colocado hoy la piedra más fundamental para el restablecimiento de las relaciones cordiales entre los dos gobiernos. Esto tuvo lugar mediante el acuerdo, en principio, de que no puede ser confiscada ninguna propiedad extranjera siü una justa compensación y que las reglas establecidas por el derecho internacional gobernarán las relaciones anistosas entre los dos países. Las cuestiones actualmente pendientes son en su mayor parte relativas a detalles tales como los medios de suministros financieros y la forma del acuerdo para hacer que lo convenido tenga carácter obligatorio y permanente. La sesión fue excepcionalmente prolongada y durante ella el conisionado mejicano senador Gonzales Roa expuso claramente el punto de vista de Méjico. Hoy concluiría su exposición sobre la situación que determino en Méjico el establecimiento de la constitución de 1917 y como puede resolver el problema sin afectar en ninguna forma los derechos del pueblo mejicano ni de los extranjeros. En sintesis, la solución se concreta a que la propriedad adquirida antes de 1917 se regirá por la ley existente entonces. Anahas conissiones tratan con mucho cuidado esta materia, a fin de no coneter nungun error ni expresar nada que pueda interpretarse mal más tarde. En cuanto concreire a los consísonados en particular, estan de acuerdo en absoluto y llevan a cabo su trea en medio de la mayor armonia y de una atmósfera apacible. En donde quiera reina la esperanza, en prueba de que se ha llegado al acuerdo.

APORTE SU OBOLO PARA EL GRAN MOVIMIENTO DE TODAS LAS EPOCAS POR LA REDENCION DE AFRICA Y EL ADELANTO DEL NEGRO EN TODAS PARTES. MINISTER OF LEGIONS STORMS CINCINNATI DIV. Sunday, April 5, Liberty Hall in Cincinnati, was the some of a triple demonstration in honor of General E. L. Garnes, "our own Daddy." Three hour mass meetings were held, one at 11:00 a.m. one at 2:00 p.m. and the Sunday night meeting at $9.00 clock. At all three of the services the hall was crowded to its largest capacity, and many persons were trained away from the afternoon meeting which was the largest of the time. General Garnes arrived early Sunday morning and consented to deliver a speech for the members of the first service, which is held at 11:00 clock. His audience was the largest which has gathered for the Sunday morning meeting in many a day, and all who attended were enthusiastic in their declaration of the benefit derived from the service. It was the first time in nearly two years that General Carter has in aid of the division with his presence, and the people were all eager to hear him after his long absence. He rewarded their presence with a spirited message that will run in the ears of all who heard him for many days to come. Between the close of the morning service and 3 P.M. the member spread the news for and near that "Daddy" who here and at three o'clock the hall was crowded to the deaf. One hundred auxiliary units escorted their generet to the platform, where he took his seat amid a storm of applause. A short program was rendered, which included two short addresses by members of the division, and a number of musical selections by the choir. This terminating the president as pastor of ceremony introduced or rather presented the Minister of Legions to the waiting audience. As he arrests to his feet he was greeted with a storm of applause which showed that he was still warm in the hearts of the people, despite his long absence. General Glenn spoke to well over an hour, and hold his hearts spellbound from the start. His implourable logic coupled with his bell-titling eloquence was convincing to the most obdurate, and at the edge of his address every one in the hall had a clearer understanding of the organization, its principles and what is expected of each and every member. Seldom is it that the Chennai Division is raised to such a pitch of enthusiasm as was demonstrated by the people during the Minister of Legions stored in the library by Dr. James Gaines. Many of the members, for sure that they would be able to get a seat for the eager second floor through the symmetry of the afternoon, and as a sharp and crowded stood to attention the presence marched up the alley to the plaza. General Gaines repeated his triumph of the afternoon by delivering another masterly addressed, which touched the hearts of all of his hearers, and converted more, than one to the cares for African redemption. All were glad to hear that Daddy Gaines would be with us for some time, and that they would have the opportunity of hearing him many times during his stay here. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Division marches on to certain victory under the able leadership o f its worthy president, Mr. William Ware, and his staff of officers. His earnest labor, with the co-operation of the members, bid fair to assure the hope of Negro Cincinnati being 100 per cent, strong for Garvey-lam before the close of the present year. G. P. WINSTON, Executive-Secretary. CHARLESTON, S. C., NEWS CHARLESTON, S. C., April 11. High Commissioner Jacob S. Slappy has returned to Charleston, from Atlanta, Ga., and vicinity, after an absence of several weeks. He delivered a short and spirited address at the Sunday afternoon meeting on April 29. On Wednesday evening, May 2, there was a large crowd out to greet him, and the address he delivered was along instructive lines. He was received with great enthusiasm. Prof. Robert Shaw Wilkinson, of State College, Grangeburg, S. C., spoke at Morris Brown A. M. E. Church on Sunday afternoon, April 22. This gentleman was greeted by a splendid audience of Charleston's representative citizens. Professor Wilkinson stated that he was an upholder of the Young Men's Christian Association. Among other things he said that our people went into the World's War to make the world safe for democracy; that the great problem that the war left in Europe has come to America; that there is no such thing in America as democracy. He said that our group needs to be more religious; that the majority of young men that are being trained today are bent upon the things that make men rich. We cannot reach the kingdom of heaven by the things of material gain. He said that he was here to point out to the people religious development, development for the love of home and school, morality, and a spiritual life and belief. We confront from time to time, educational prob- I am. That we have undertaken the real essence of love; that our group must show their love for the land of religious progress and Christian advancement. That America has done very little to advance the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. He said that if America need music and song it must go to Europe or some foreign country. That we are a group of people have a gift for music. Christianity is the means by which we can overcome all obstacles. He believes that we have been placed in America for divine purposes; that we are needed in America to hold up the touch of liberty. There was a splendid male chorus led by Professor Cox, of Avoy Normal Institute, which rendered some excellent selectors. ELSE DORSETT.

"It has given me a new physical condition as I enjoyed at $35," he writes. "I am apparently as simple at 25, Wood he would not need $5000, what the compound has done for him. The compound is a simple home treatment, table form, absolutely harmless, yet vigorator known. Acting directly on lower spinal nerve-centers and certain injuries benefits in 24 to 26 hours. In nationwide tests, it has won the praises of surgeons who surged from nerve or spinal injury to vital force.

THE "BIT OF SILVER" FUND but they may now be acquainted with the fact that several of the men who, during the period 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, used as for balances they have allowed to the association, force appealing to the local 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 are to help and protect and of which they were executive officers. The persons suing are: G. E. Stewart, who was elected as Chancellor at $5,000 per annum. He is suing for $2,853.28 (two actions contested by U. N. I. 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. Ello 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. I. A.). All members and patrols will subscribe to this fund that in case of cement against the association these persons, in their titles of silver," collected within, judgments from the cause which they aware to deforest and help by their "lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor."

SILVER" FUND the Universa: Negro Improve- throughout the World friends MUCH WORK IS YET TO BE DONE Philadelphia, Pa., Division, U. N. I. A., Addressed by Hon. Rudolph E. Smith There is yet a lot of work to be done for the program of an African Redemption, and each and every member, if he or she is legal, can contribute much. Rally to your division, see that your division rally to the parent body; let the parent body rally to Mousa survey and all will be well, as it must eventually end well. The Philadelphia Division is making an essential request for your support, because come here from the South to join heart and hand with us in this moral fight for human rights, because you know only too well, the difficulty of attaining justice; the handicap because of your color; and the general struggle through which you have come. You have left the South because you are conscious of the fact that you are a peon, a serf, a slave. Brother, you are searching blindly for something that you will not get (economic freedom) until you have can only be realised through a government of your own, by your own for your own. This, I am sure, is your desire, your ambition. You can get that only through the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Come to our meetings at 601 South 17th street, and let us reason this out together. Remember, together we will, we must stand; but divided we fall. Your troubles are my troubles, and my troubles yours. Meetings are held on Thursday nights of every week at 8:30 o'clock, and Sundays at 3:30 and 8:30 o'clock. On Sunday, May 27, we had another round meeting, presided over by the able Dr. Lionel A. Francis, who returned from the continued court trial of the Hon. Marcus Garvey with renewed courage and increased determination. Dr. Francis is spending his days in New York as proof to the world that faith without work is dead. The Hon. Rudolph E.

In her audience, the president told the hearers present that she was not much of a talker, but she could work. "We must work and work hard if we are to put over this program.

Brown began: "I have been driven, prosecuted and persecuted by the enemies of the race.

We intend to have freedom even if we have to do it." Commissioner Wallace then prose amidst cheers and applause of the audience. With his usual bearing and broad experience he brought the message home in glowing terms.
