THE NEGRO'S PLACE IN HUMAN HISTORY--- DETERMINED TO BUILD OWN NATION
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE; Greeting: And now we have reached the point of racial destiny where the faithful and just will go forward and the unfaithful and unjust will turn back.
The Making of Human History
In the making of human history we have had those of much faith and those of little faith; so today, while we in this generation are laying the foundation for a successful, progressive and prosperous posterity, we must count upon the changes and differences that will come into our activities as we move from one state and condition to the other.
Not Yet of One Mind
Surely, we are not yet absolutely of one mind. To be in unity is a condition greatly desired, but the task of our time and civilization is to get all the people thinking and acting together. The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is that of bringing all black humanity to see and think in unison about their own improvement and the creating of their own national independence.
Anniversary of Independence
Just a few days ago we celebrated the 147th anniversary of the independence of America. Many years ago a man of vision by the name of Washington lived. He had created in his mind the ideal of a great nation: To him the vision was clear, but there were others around him who doubted the possibility of the vision; they claimed that it was a dream that could not be realized. With faith in himself and with the faith of others who believed in him, he struck the blow as the bondman who wants to be free must naturally do; and after a lapse of one hundred and forty-seven years we now meet and assemble ourselves around the protecting influence of the greatest Republic in the world.
The Value of Faith
The success of American freedom and nationality came about, not through those of little faith who turned back, but through the perse-

verance and firm faith of those who pressed on till the end.
Africa and America
The Negro peoples of the world, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, are now endeavoring to do for Africa what Washington and the early fathers of liberty did for America. In the struggle to make it, Washington and his followers had much troubles and difficulties, even as we are having today in our effort to blaze the trail toward African redemption. They did not become daunted or discouraged because of disappointments and setbacks. They pressed on and on until the goal was reached; hence in a similar way we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are asking that those of real faith be firm and let us travel the whole way.
Sacrifices of Race Leaders
In recounting the exploits and achievements of other races and nations, we will not forget the sacrifices made by their leaders and great men. Let us think for one minute of the thousands of leaders and reformers who have died in prison and on the scaffold to set their peoples free. Every race has its tale to tell, and we are rather fortunate to have made the journey thus far without greater sacrifice on our part.
The Purpose of Leadership
Some of the men who come into the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the intention to lead look upon the matter as an employment. They come in the same way the unemployed person would go to the employment
agency in search of work, and be satisfied with the first position offered.
Spiritual Reform Movements
To my leader friends of the organization I say that is all a mistake. Great spiritual and reform movements are not led that way. It is not an employment. It is a calling. You must be called to service, not to yourself, but to humanity. There must be no price or condition. It must be a duty of love and sacrifice. When our leaders have caught the vision that steels them for service, then and only then will we have a race of real men, fit for any crisis and ready for any task.
The Duty of Service
If, through my imprisonment and suffering, I can teach others how to live, I can done my duty to this age and to posterity.
In my outlook for Africa I am as cheerful as man can be, fighting the opposition of dreadful odds. I feel happy and glad to have been born for this time to serve.
A Work of Love
My only anxiety is to know that the faithful are still firm and determined to carry on the work of love. Let no one or nothing persuade you from doing your duty to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Now is the time for you to support the organization financially and morally. You can do this by sending in your help to the parent body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City.
Support the Organization
All Divisions, Chapters and Branches are earnestly requested to be loyal to the committee of management under my direction, and help us put over the big program. Send in your regular monthly financial reports and keep the machinery of organization agoing. With best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be

"An appeal to Cassar" was the subject of a special session in behalf of Marcus Garvey, delivered by the Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D. pastor of the New York National Baptist Church and held secretary of the National Baptist Convention of the U. S. A., at the 11 o'clock service on Sunday morning to a large congregation.
As the pastor announced during the service, Sunday was "Garvey Day" at his church, the evening diet being also devoted to a special appeal in behalf of Mr. Garvey.
"In a powerful sermon, Rev. Moses came out strong for Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and at the close of the service the Hon. Rudolph Smith, third assistant President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who was in the congregation, was invited to go to the platform and read the petition which is being signed throughout the United States for pres-
Dr. Moses took his text from the 25th Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, the 11th verse: "If I be an offender or have committed anything worthy of death I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things where they accuse me, no man may deliver me into them. I appeal to Caesar. Elsequently and in an able manner Dr. Moses made a soul-shriving appeal to public sentiment to so fashion itself that Marcus Garvey may be released. No aspect of the question was left untouched. And, summing up, he said he was prepared to do this bit by letting the truth it known to the 3,500,000 people of the United States with whom he came into contact as field secretary of the National Baptist Convention.

GEORGE HARRIS IS UNSEATED AS ALDERMAN AND HIS SEAT AWARDED TO JOHN W. SMITH
is parallel to the experiences of Marcus Garvey, who is as truly God's modern apostle of African redemption as the Apostle Paul was to the Gentiles in his day and generation. Paul was condemned and imprisoned without ball, primarily by misinformed public opinion under the immediate leadership, of reactionary members of his own race under pressure of the, over-awning, world-ruling Romans, condemned for being a propagandist of the universal application of the principles of justice and fraternal democracy, as preached and practiced by Jesus of Nazareth, though he was technically condemned for violating the letter of Roman law, equitably while fulfilling the spirit of that same law toward all individuals, races and nations in all the world.
"The bill of indictment drawn by Tertullius, an eloquent Roman lawyer, charged Paul with being (1) a public racial pest, (2) a creator of disloyalty among his race to the subjugating Roman rulers of the world, (3) irreverence for the Jewish church of his daim, and (4) for being a ringleader of the sect of the Nassaues. From their viewpoint, there was a half-truth in all four counts of the indictment. Paul was a pest to the old order of lawful subjugation and injustice toward individuals and races farther down. He was a pest to that. The peril of the prophet and the apostle of progress is that progress necessarily upsets precedent, and they, like Jesus, are invariably reckoned among the transgressors of outgrown customs and laws and are indiscriminately crucified and catalogued with thieves, until plodding mankind catches up and erects monuments to them.
"Marcus Garvey has been technically found guilty of misusing the United
George W. Harris, who has been occupying a seat on the Board of Aldermen representing the 21st addermale district, which takes in the upper section of Harlem and the lower end of Washington Heights, has been unseated. The Committee on Privileges and Elections of the Board of Aldermen made its report last Friday recommending the unseating of George Harris (Republican) and the relaing of Alderman Thos. O'Reilly (Democrat).
Harris defeated John William Smith, of 115 West 135th street, the Democratic candidate, by a small majority,
States mails in attempting to put over his African redemption program, but judicial equity can well afford to make large allowance for violating the letter of U. B. postal laws in his attempt to carry out the spirit of the American democracy toward all people, as set forth in our Declaration of Independence and National Constitution. And judicial equity would undoubtedly have been more lenient in judgment if the ruling public sentiment of America and the modern world had not been hostile to the Marcus Garvey propaganda of African redemption at a time when Africa and the Africans are being systematically subjugated and exploited by the white races of every nation with whom they come in contact.
A Patriot of Progress
"Marcus Garvey, in my opinion—and I have as much right to mine as any body else—is not a criminal in any sense except that in which Jesus of Nazareth, the Apostle Paul, the prophets and patriots of progress, justice and fellowship have been taken criminals in their highest and most unselfish service to mankind. He is reckoned among the transgressors in the sense that Jesus was reckoned among the transgressors. So that Mr. Garvey can truly say, and does say, with the Apostle Paul, through me this morning—yes, through me, for no matter who is against him, I am with helip—If I be an offender or have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal to Caesar." Those certainly are his sentiments. And he not only said he asked no mercy at the hands of the court, but justice, but that if he had been disloyal to the race he not only wanted to die, but to be thrown into the furthermost depths of hell to live eternally with the damned. Marcus Garvey asks not for pity, but for justice, predicated on universal principles of equity."
Government's Shipping Venture
Government's Shipping Venture
Referring to the failure of the Black Star Line, Dr. Mones said: "The loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Black Star line shipping venture was no more criminal than the loss to the government which lost money in ships at the same time Garvey lost it, and not only lost two or three hundred thousands, but hundreds of millions, the ships rotting in our harbors, and with graft openly charged in the very face of the administration. If Garvey is guilty, Wilson is. If justice miscarried with the people's money in Garvey's ships, justice miscarried in the case of the Shipping Board. If it is a lie, it is a lie of white folks, not mine. They said it. If Garvey lost in a shipping venture money belonging to folks who voluntarily entered his group, the heads of our own government lost millions of our money that we paid in taxes. There has been a great deal of fun poked at Garvey for venturing to buy ships, but you can poke no more fun at Garvey for buying ships than at the Shipping Board, that has been for years and years trying to operate, and never having a paying entrance on the seas since England has been missured of the seas. And not only that, but the government has tried to take
After a full investigation of the case which included the examinations of all ballots cast, the Aldermanic committee has unanimously decided that the seat should be given to Smith and will request the Board of Aldermen to abide by the committee's recommendations. The recount of the ballots, according to the committee, showed a plurality of forty-eight votes for Smith. Harris' career as an alderman is brought to an inglorious end. He has no outstanding achievement to point to as a colored representative, but he will be always remembered by Negroes throughout the world as one of the infamous eight—one of the signers of the petition to the Attorney-general against a man whose case was at that time sub judice.
NEGROES BARRED, MAY CLOSE PARIS CABARET
PARIS, July 2.—The clash between French and American attitudes toward Negroes has reached such a crisis here that the police threaten to close a cabaret where the proprietor refused several nights ago to serve some Negroes. The place is frequented by many Americans.
The Negroes came in with some whites, including the composer, Darlus Milhaud. One colored visitor was a Prince of Dahomey, but he could not be served.
Deputy Gratien Candace violently attacks Frenchmen for refusing to serve Negroes because of fear they will lose their American clientele.
"France has her own physiognomy, which must not be disfigured," he warns. "Whites, yellows or blacks who possess the splendid title of French citizen are bound by the same legal and justice and fraternity proclaimed by the nation which made the greatest revolution in the world for the liberation of humanity."
THE SPIRIT OF MARCUS GARVEY IS STILL UNCRUSHED THOUGH CONFINED IN TOMBS
The Seven Deadly Sins Set Up Against Garvey by His Foes
The prime object of those who have persistently pursued and persuaded Garvey has not been to economically pretect and advance the Negro, but to stop his world-awakening propaganda of Negro independence in general and African redemption in particular. Garvey's adversaries have been of seven kinds:
1. Those on the outside of his organization who disagreed with Garvey's object of a black man's government in Africa.
2. Those who disagreed with Garvey's method for hastening the coming of a black man's kingdom.
3. Those who have been jealous of Garvey's Leadership and following.
4. Those within the organization who aspired to lead the Garvey movement.
5. Those who disagreed with Garvey's business methods.
6. Those who have had serious personal misunderstandings with Garvey.
7. Negro friends and enemies who do not believe in Negro leadership of Negroes.
the people's money to go to the rescue of the Shipling Board of the Merchant Marine in the Subsidy bill that was offered by our President in our last session here. When you laugh at Garvey, remember that America and the whole Shipping Board is the laughing-stock of the world.
What Garvey Dared
"The attempt to own and operate ships by black people marks a new epoch in the modern development of the Negro race. I mean the attempt. And mighty few have had the courage to try to own one. And whether you know it or not, 99 out of every hundred people that put money in there did so gladly; whether they got a dividend or not did not matter to
THE SPIRIT OF MARC
UNCRUSHED THOUGH
Negro Nationalist Leader Ke
His Teachings Take a Fir
Before on His Follow
We reproduce the following article
from the Pittsburgh American, one of
the few Negro journals which have
shown anything like fair play in dea-
ling with the new historic case:
Instead of collapsing as many thought he would after his conviction and sentence to five years' imprisonment, Marcus Garvey, fully conscious of his influence over his great following of Negroes throughout the world, maintains his fighting spirit while imprisoned. His lawyers in the meantime are proceeding in their efforts to secure his release on ball while they are seeking a new hearing of his case. If any expected that Garvey's public career would end with his condition and imprisonment they are more than likely to be disappointed. The showing made by his enemies and prosecutors to destroy the U. N. L. A. founder is in no way comparable with the display of loyalty by his followers throughout the country. If reports from reliable sources are to be credited. Apparently Garvey, in prison will do just as much as and more than Garvey free, to roam the country and disturb the bread and butter plans of other Negro propagandists.
The Two Sides of Garveyism
There never was a man good or bad but some would fight and others support him. There was never a cause good or bad but some would support and others fight it. The same is true of Garvey's dream and Garvey. It is true of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It is true of the friends of Negro freedom, of the African Blood Brotherhood, the Equal Rights League and the leaders of each of these movements.
There are certain stock phrases in common use by 'critics of all these movements and their leaders—Marcus Garvey included. They are all charged with selfishness and egoism, and their ideas and ideals are more or less looked upon as impossible dreams. In this respect they are all in the same boat, and too many pilots make rough sailing. Yet all these organizations have, in a way, been doing some good. The main trouble appears to be the persistence with which they have closed their eyes to the good work being done by each other. Each leader and the principal spokesman of each organization are credited with sins of omission and commission—including Marcus Garvey. It so happens that Garvey's mistakes were of a nature to expose him to the poisoned arrows of his enemies. On the other hand, his errors and present plight cannot obscure the good things accomplished by Marcus Garvey thus far in his activities for the betterment of his race.
them. They wanted to have something on the seas. And if we put it there, who has anything to do with it? We wanted to see a black ship on the sea somewhere. And that marks a new epoch. Don't let anybody foot you. The treble with our race is that we do not try to do big things. Garvey has dared to do a big thing, and just as true as God is in Heaven we are going to have some ships on the sea. He may have made a blunder, but that is not the last ship we are going to buy. That is only the beginning. The enemies of Marcus Garvey were persecuting him and endearing to 'break up' his organization from the day it awakened worldwide interest, until a technical pretext was found to imprison him for violating the letter of the U. S. postal laws."
Reasons for Persecution
Dealing with the enemies of Garvey and his movement, the reverend gentleman said: "The prime object of those who have persistently pursued and persecuted Garvey has not been to economically protect and advance the Negro, but to stop his world-awakening propaganda of Negro independence in general and African Redemption in particular. Garvey's adversaries have been of seven kinds.
(1) Those on the outside of his organization who disagreed with Garvey's object of a black man's government in Africa.
(2) Those who disagreed with Garvey's methods for hastening the coming of a black man's kingdom.
(3) Those who have been jealous of Garvey's leadership and following.
(4) Those within the organization who aspired to lead the Garvey movement.
(5) Those who disagreed with Garvey's business methods.
(6) Those who have had serious personal misunderstandings with Garvey.
(7) Negro friends and enemies who do not believe in Negro leadership of Negroes.
"The seventh class is a very serious class. There are lots of friendly white folks who do not believe in Negroes leading Negroes. And there are lots of Negroes who do not believe in Ne-
It must be conceded that Marcus Garvey inspired his following to do more under his leadership than they have ever done under the inspiration and persuasion of any single Negro in the past history of the race. We must sweep aside his blunders and look at these accomplishments, for they afford a lesson to the race—a lesson taught soundly by Professor Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa, leader of the Negro peoples of the world or whatever one may choose to call him. The fact that his effort inspired Negros to contribute more than $1,000,000 to support and further the ideals of Marcus Garvey has a far-reaching meaning. The fact that the Garvey following and the entire U. N. L. A. is a purely Negro movement deserves something more than ridicule and condemnation on the part of any who may differ with the ways and methods of Marcus Garvey. And the apparent loyalty of the Garvey following to their leader through the present crisis is a splendid tribute to the character and prophecy of the future of the Negro.
It is perfectly natural for the white press to make a specialty of featuring articles ridiculing the Negro and obscuring everything good attempted or done by the race or any of its members. It is unfortunate also that many Negroes cannot see the disadvantages accruing to the selling by their persistence in selling to white publishers articles that hold Negroes up to scorn and ridicule. In that practice lies the source of much of the hopelessness and despair dampening the ardor and cowering the spirit of the Negro in America. It has impeded and retarded the efforts of the race to do for itself, and bindered the development of the special characteristics of the race that would eventually fit the Negro for equality with other races of the world.
Who Have Not Made Mistakes?
Marcus Garvey and his people have made their mistakes. Who has not?
But the fact remains that they have been dolphin, some splendid good for their people in America. So the Pittsburgh American is disposed to sweep aside the errors and give its readers a fair analysis of the Garvey movement and the ideals of the founder of Garveyism, that the good may have an equal chance of survival with the evil. A wealth of good common sense, unquestioned honesty, high-hearted sincerity, generosity, sincerity and love are revealed in the development of Garveyism. They will be far more valuable to the future progress of the race, than the sustained efforts of those who persist in their efforts to hold Marissa Garvey, his effort and followers up to the scorn and ridicule of the world.

To the Officers and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement-Association:
It has come to our notice that since the incarceration of the President-General a few designing officers and members are trying to create strife in the divisions in order that they may put over the things that they could not put over when the President-General was actively in harness.
As loyal members of the association we are calling upon you to discredit such individuals wherever they show their heads. Inform us of their activities and they shall be expelled from the association. We are firmly resolved to keep inviolable the principles and aims of this great organization of ours and will do all and everything to continue the work as if the President-General was not temporarily deprived of his liberty. We desire to affirm that Marcus Garvey will remain President of the U. N. I. A. so long as he lives.
His opinion is more respected today than ever by the four hundred million Negroes of the world, and when these plotters attempt to embarrass the Committee which he has left to carry on the work during his temporary absence they are enemies to the Honorable Marcus Garvey and the great movement he has founded.
This warning comes from the Committee of Management as appointed by the President-General to "carry on" in his absence and we propose to "carry on" in spite of the few designing persons within and without the organization, who are wolves in sheep's clothing. These particular busy-bodies are active in the Universal Negro Improvement Association for reasons very clear. Put them down as the enemies they are and "press on" in the fight for a free and redeemed Africa. Beware of them! Keep us informed of their activities:

groes leading Negroes. There are plenty friends willing enough for you to have a reasonable measure of justice, but let him mate it out to you. And that is in the soul of ninety-nine out of every hundred white man in the world. The white man is not anxious for the Negroes in America, Africa or anywhere in the world on God's earth to lead his own group." Summing up his appeal, Dr. Moses said: "We appeal to the righteous judgment of the American people and mankind everywhere to give Garvey equitable justice commensurate with the mitigating circumstances under which the letter of the law is said to have been transgressed, while fulfilling its spirit, and let him loose to finish the work which God called him to do.
Eloquent Peroration
"It was no more a crime," he said, "for Garvey to attempt to restore Africa to the African people than it was for Christ to attempt to restore the kingdom of Israel. It was no more a crime against civilized society for Garvey to be proclaimed the spiritual head of an African state than it was for Christ to declare Himself King in Caesar's empire. It was no more a crime for Gar-
vey's business to fail than was for the business of any other individual or corporation to fail while doing its best to survive. The career of Garvey no more conserves a Federal prison than the life-labor of Christ deserved the crucifixion on Calvary. If equitable justice is denied Garvey, America is made less safe for democracy in general and the black race in particular everywhere. When public sentiment silences the humbest Negro's cry for freedom and equality of opportunity, the whitest public servants and patriots of the country dare not speak their highest and holiest thoughts or vote their convictions."
The preacher then quoted at length from a book of his own and from several noted works of white men showing that the oppression of the black man in Africa was a blot upon civilization and was contrary to God's will, and that God in His own time would solve the problem. Africa must be redeemed, and sooner or later Garvey's idea must be carried out. It was the duty of every Negro, man and woman, in these United States to raise his or her voice in loud protest against the Incarceration of Marcus Garvey and not cease clamoring and protesting until he was released.

LIBERTY HALL, New York. Sunday Night. July 8.—Fully three thousand people packed Liberty Hall to right and gave living testimony to the fact that the teachings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as propounded by its indomitable leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, for a united race are gaining ground, and that, whatever may be the obstacles that are thrown in the way of Negroes getting together they simply serve as an incentive to a greater effort toward the achievement of that end. It is the spirit of determination that was caused even the enemies of the U. N. L. A. to look with admiration upon the movement and to respect the genius of the man who in the short space of a few years has succeeded in building up a world-wide organization and sent his name ringing around the four corners of the world, giving Negroes the inspiration that within them lies a potential force, which, if amassed together and concentrated in one direction, will culminate in the establishment of a nation of black people on the continent of Africa. On the street, from the pulpit and from the public forum the name of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is being discussed in the light that his organization has surpassed in magnitude any Negro organization that has ever existed; hence it is that Mr. Garvey, although confined behind the walls of the prison, maintains a cheerfulness and composure that Remarkable and which is evidenced by his inspiring and encouraging messages which he issues from the Tombs to be read in Liberty Hall every Sunday night. The following message from him was read on night and was received with great acclamation:
Garvey Sends Out His Weekly Message Of Comfort and Cheer
Garvey Sends Out His Weekly Message Of Comfort and Cheer
Follow Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association:
It is indeed a pleasure to me to send you a message of love and cheer at this time when you are all anxious to learn of my condition.
What more can I say to you than that all is well? I am not pooed or so, because of my continence. Surely not. And I hope you are not thinking thus of me.
The road to hard and rocky, and we must make up our minds to travel the whole way. I am only at part of the journey, and the end is still afar.
Our generation is only signaling to the watchman on duty, the sentinel that guards our entry into the realm of a future that shall give to the world a nation and a flag that shall compel the respect of all men.
It is for you, to keep up the fight.
Be brave, soldiers in the cause of
African redemption, and never say
dies!
With abundance of good wishes,
I have the honor to be, our
obedient servant.

Association.
The speakers tonight were Hon. Thomas W. Anderson, Second Assistant Secretary General; Capt. C. E. Gaines, Minister of Legions; Hon. Rudolph Smith, Third Assistant President General, and Hon. Wm. L. Sherrill, First Assistant President General. The speeches were pregnant with inspiration and gave the audience the impression that these men who are conducting the work of the organization are possessed with the courage of their convictions to speak out fearlessly what they think of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and that, come what may, they intend to carry out faithfully the trust that has been reposed in them by the people and their leader. The applause which greeted their remarks gave proof that the followers of the movement are standing solidly, behind them and will not falter in their support of the work, so that the organization shall go on with increasing vigor. Following are the speeches
It is certainly a pleasure to see this
great number out here, tonight, and not
only on this night, are you here, but every Sunday night. As you are here tonight there are great crowds in Chicago at a similar meeting; there are great crowds in Philadelphia at a similar meeting; in St. Louis as well as in New Orleans, Louisiana, California, the West Indies, Central and South America, and even in Africa. What does it mean? What does it mean? It means that the Negro peoples of the world are at last awake and are getting together. Five years ago it would have been impossible to have such a great number of Negroes gathered thus together as they are now doing. What is the cause of it all? The great Universal Negro Improvement Association, that great ideal founded and sponsored by Mr. Garvey.
"There is not another organization in the world among Negroes that can gather such a vast audience on twenty-four hours' notice such as is possible in this great organization. The enthysiism of the members of the Universal Negro improvement Association was never so great as it is at this hour. Are we downhearted?" (A chorus of "Noes!") Yes, we are not. (Laughter.) That is the answer we give the enemy. Are we downhearted? Yes, we are not. And we will never be downhearted. We are determined as never before to put the program over.
The U. N. I. A.'s Program
"What is the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? What is it? It is this. It is a two-fold program. The solidarity of the Negro peoples of the world and the redemption of Africa. Those two things we are working for to unite Negroes everywhere. Other organizations have come on the scene and wanted to unite Negroes in New York or in Illinois or in Ohio or in a certain section, and here comes the Universal Negro Improvement Association and says it is our object to unite Negroes everywhere. For what purpose? That they may unitedly and wholeheartedly come together and assist in redeeming Africa from the hands of the despoter, from the hands of the stranger. Can it be done? Yes, it can be done. It can be done. Some say it is a dream. Perhaps it is a dream. Electricity was once a dream. American freedom was once a dream. Automobiles were once a dream. The subway was once a dream. The tramcar was once a dream. And thirty years ago the flying machine was a dream. But they are here now. What man has done man can do. What white man has done black man can do.
The Birthplace of Negro Liberty
"Liberty Hall is the cradle of Negro liberty. After the Woolworth Building will have crumbled so that one brick will not be left upon another, after the Brooklyn Bridge shall have perished, even after New York shall no longer exist, it shall be known in all parts of the world by every race that in the city of New York, in the United States of America, Negro liberty was born. It shall never perish. It shall be known that Mr. Garvey, black man, was the first to step out upon the scene when all others were afraid and make the first effort for the liberation of the black race and the redemption of a continent. (Applause.)
The U. N. I. A. All-Embracing
comes to a man who knows he has done his work well.
The Deere Are Open
The cause is going on. The only thing that can defeat the Universal Negro Improvement Association is you yourselves. Only you can defeat it. How can you defeat it? By remaining divided. How can you defeat it? By driving away those who would be your friends. Here is one condition that exists in Liberty Hall that is driving people away. You know I say what I feel like saying, afraid of nobody except myself. One thing that is driving folks away when folks come to Liberty Hall strangers: Some members are so enthused with zeal that we lose our temper and drive those folks away. Folks come to Liberty Hall for the purpose of learning of the organization, and as soon as some of us see them around, see loyal members talking to them, we say they are disloyal, talking to spies. Where did you get it? Talking to spies. This hall is open to every black man. Let him come, and if he comes long enough we will convince him. Take care of your own life, of your own household and not of the folks who come here. They are welcome here. The doors are open. Even some of the officers, the members see them talking to somebody, and the news goes out that, they are talking, to spies. Some folks in consequence are afraid to come near the door. That is not going to get to get us together. It is not going to accomplish our program. He who would be friendly must first show himself friendly. That is what we have got to do. We have got to make friends everywhere, and we have got to show ourselves friendly. Some of us do not like that doctrine. Get out of that fighting spirit, fighting everything black that does not agree with you. I would hate a man that agreed with me all the time. I would know he was trying to make a fool of me. Any man that agrees with me all the time is dangerous. He is after something.
Not Talk but Deeds
Mr. Garvey is a great, great man. Now that he is in prison he is greater than ever. Mr. Garvey in chains is undisturbed. He stands full clad in all of his virtues. He stands to the world as a man willing to suffer and die, if necessary, for an ideal, a man willing to die for his race. How many of you would be willing to undergo the suffering Mr. Garvey is undergoln, and not because of himself, but because of you and me? Mr. Garvey, if he took care of Garvey alone, could be somewhere in the world free and happy, but because we chooses to suffer for you and me he is in prison, and we are going to stand behind him. (Applause.) We are behind Mr. Garvey not because things have always gone well with us, not because we have always agreed with what has been done. Some of us have felt like getting our hats and walking out. We have felt like turning our backs, but when we realize the great idea that the man has put forth in the ideal and his own faith and determination to put it over, we have to hold on, and we are determined to hold on, and we are asking you to hold on to the ideal, to do your host and assist us to put over the program. Talking is not going to do it. Long tongues are not going to do it. Fighting with each other is not going to do it. But standing together and giving your hard-carned cash. That is what is going to do it. It takes money to ride a street car. It must take money to found a government. Liberty is what we are after, and the only liberty worth going into jail for is that liberty that will let me do what I want to do in my own house, in my own country.
Fighting for Himself
Men and women, in spite of everything you have fought under every flag. You have been willing to fight other men's battles. Like the Swiss soldier, you were willing to serve under any flag so long as there was pay coming, but the time has come when the Negro is willing to serve himself. He is willing to fight for a flag of his own, for a country of his own. And if that is not your spirit, then you have not got the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Garvey is satisfied so long as you stand behind the movement and put over the program. Mr. Garvey is willing to undergo any suffering if you are willing to hold the ideal. He has given you

words of cheer, words of comfort. Now it is your turn. It is your turn to give him what he has given you. If is your tura to do your, very best to bphold an ideal he has founded. It is your turn to go to, fall, if necessary, so that the program may be put over. Are you willing to do it? (Cries of "Yes?" Are you willing to stand behind Mr. Garvey? All who are willing to stand behind Mr. Garvey, first, all who believe Mr. Garvey, absolutely innocent, of any wrongdoing, let me see your hands. (Thousands of hands went up.) Every one of us that is going to labor to put over the program and to fight that Mr. Garvey come out and carry the movement on, let us see your hands. (All again responded.) Thank you. Now may the great God sumit you, may the great God chastise you, may He see that your souls burn in everlasting hell if you go back on the pledge you have just made. (Loud applause.)
CAPT. GAINES SPEAKS
Capt. C. E. Gaines said he had visited one of the great churches this morning, the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which Rev. W. W. Brown is the pastor—and he found that the congregation was very much enthused over the efforts that are being made to secure ball for Hon. Marcus Garvey, and gave evidence of the fact that they are with Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This went to show, he said, that not only the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but men and women who three months ago were passive regarding the movement are now ready to subscribe their names to the petition praying for the release on ball of Hon. Marcus Garvey.
The Fight Is On
Hon. Rudolph Smith Speaks
Hon. Rudolph Smith said he visited the National Baptist Church on 12th street this morning, where the pastor, Hon. Margo Garvey, delivered a discourse on Hon. Margo Garvey. For two hours, the pastor discussed the movement from its perception all down the line to the perception of Margo Garvey and the petition that has been drafted to be forwarded to Washington, passing for his release on bail. Continuing Mr. Smith said that every member of the congregation voted in favor of the petition, and he witnessed an orthodoxy such as he had never seen before. He was happy to see that even the Church is now moved up with the movement, and he felt sure that public sentiment aroused, as it is at the present time, will effect the release of Hon. Margo Garvey.
The Negro race, Mr. Smith soil was passing through a period of evolution. We have seen the spirit of freedom and independence reflected in Toussaint L'O., culture and Frederick Douglass, and in Mercury Garvey today is reflected the spirit of ancient Ethiopia—that spirit that declares to the world that Ethiopia shall again rise in her might and power to reclaim Africa for the benefit of the Negro race.
Continuation, Mr. Smith said Marcos Garvey had come upon the scene of an opportune time—at a time when the Negro was divided against himself. The Georgia Negro was against the Mississippi Negro; the Alabama Negro was against the Louisiana Negro; the Northern Negro was against the Southern Negro; the native American Negro was against the foreign-born Negro; the so-called leaders were leading the race nowhere, and God called upon a black man from across the islands of the sea and said: "Go out into the world and preach the gospel and bring your people together, for princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands unto God." When this man began to about his voice reverberated around the four corners of the world until today England is afraid of this black man, and France is afraid of this black man, and in the United States large sums of money have been expended to defeat his program; they say, "get Mifflous Garvey at all costs." But though they have incarcerated people, are coming now into the movement more than ever before, and if he is not released the followers of the movement will be increased tenfold.
In conclusion, Mr. Smith said black men had helped Great Britain and France, to win some of their greatest wars, and black men had caused the Stars and Stripes to be still floating in the breeze, yet black men were trampled on and kicked about, because
black men race without a government of their own. The white man is thinking for the white race; brown men are thinking for the brown race; yellow men are thinking for the yellow race, and it was high time for black men to think for themselves. This is the teaching that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is propagating, and he urged that Negroes everywhere stand by the movement and realize that no matter what happens, the Red, the Black and the Green shall forever float in the breeze. (Applaure.)
MR. SHERRILL'S SPEECH
Mr. Sherrill then made the final address. He said, I desire to say, that the enemy has not only been at work in New York City since the incarceration of Mr. Garvey in an attempt to divide his forces, but the enemy has been making an effort throughout the country to belong about this same division. But last week we received a rally from all of the divisions throughout the country. We received communications from the presidents at various points assuring the Committee of Management and Mr. Garvey that none of the efforts of the enemy would turn them to the right or to the left and that they were standing as solidly if not more solidly behind the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time than ever before. We are not only receiving these encouraging communications, but those communications were accompanied with defense funds and with funds for the Parent Body and monthly reports.
The Spirit to Press On
The spirit that is permeating the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time is this spirit—that though a thousand fail we will press on to the high calling of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The spirit of the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time is simply an indication of the determination on the part of black men to fight out their destiny and carry forward their programs. It is remarkable because the Negro has not always been possessed of this determination. It has been only in the last four or five years that the Negro has become possessed of the determination to fight out his own destiny and carry forward his programs regardless of the obstacles which may be put in his way by enemies on the outside of the race and enemies on the inside.
Selecting Negro Leaders
Selecting Negro Leaders
There was a time when you could thwart the efforts of the Negro; there was a time when you could discourage the Negro; there was a time when you could upset the program of the Negro by simply discrediting his leaders, misrepresenting his leaders or being into disrepute the leaders on his case. There was a time when the black man would believe anything the other fellow told him about his leader. There was a time when the other fellow picked leaders, for the black race, when he made leaders, for the black race and unmade leaders for the black race. Before the Negro Marry Garvey came on the scene every leader practically that the Negro touched on was a leader that was made and presented to the Negro by the white man. The Negro did not know that Booker T. Washington was a great Negro the Negro did not booker Washington to be his leader the Negro did not accept Booker Washington as his leader until the white man told the black man that Booker Washington was a great Negro. Before Booker Washington made his historic speech on the South the Negro knew practically nothing about Washington. But Washington was selected on account of his views regarding the Negro problem and the Negro question by the white man. He was beaten by white men, he was placed before the Negro race by white men, made a leader by white men and as long as Booker Washington followed the dictates of white men he became the leader of the Negroes in America.
Why Black Men Press On
Marcos Garvey came on the scene was elected by Negroes, made a leader by Negroes, and followed by Negroes not according to the dictates of whites, but according to the dictates of their own consciences. Now the smart of Garveyism that is permeating the Negro since his leadership is a point of determination, a determination to proclaim not only if: thousands will fail, but if ten thousand fail. The trouble is the black man has just lost confidence in the other fellow. The reason why black men, regardless of the obstacles that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is coming up against at this time, are combining with the association, the reason why the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is standing behind this great movement, regardless of the

fact that some mistakes have been made—and some mistakes they know have been made—is because Negroes have made up their minas that they cannot trust the other fellow and that they have got to trust the Black man, if they ever hope to have program that will free them and give them independence, that is to promote them. A Gift for Me, Gaday.
A Gift for Mr. Garvey
I am proud of this manifestation of determination on the part of the vice to be proud of this determination to turtle behind the program at this particular time, because it simply demonstrates to the world that they are dealing with the new Negro, and they cannot bring to hire the same old terms. The Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time is making a strenuous effort not only to keep this organization intact, but to deliver to Mr. Garvey, when he returns, a stronger organization than there was when he left. (Applause.)
Now Mr. Garvey is returning. The time may be a little longer than some of us expect, but Mr. Garvey is coming back to the race. And it develops upon you individually to see to it that the work that he left a few weeks ago does not go back one inch, but that when Mr. Garvey comes back, as a reward for his sufferings he will find an organization more united, he will find an organization more determined, he will find an organization that is pressing on to the mark of the high calling of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
The high Calling
And what is that high calling? The calling of race unity, the calling of race pride, the calling of race solidarity, the calling of nationhood. What is that high calling? It is the calling of liberty, the calling of freedom, the calling of independence. In spite of all we will press on. In spite of all obstacles we will press on. We will press on in the name of mothers and fathers who have suffered and died before us. We will press on in the name of Negroes illuminated everywhere. We will press on until we have given to posterity a place in the sea and a united Negro people of good health.

over in this part of the country, but we are still holding up the banner of the Red, Black and Green. Although there are enemies here who have tried every way to put us out of existence, having gone so far as to write to the State authorities and having also taken it up with the city authorities, but it has availed them nothing. With such men as our noble president, J. T. Finley; Rev. J. E. White, chaplain, and Rev. Shelby Campbell, assistant chaplain, who stand steadfast and unmovable to expound the true doctrine of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. to the people, we have been able to withstand the onslaught of the enemy. On Sunday, May 20, Brother C. S. Landers took for his subject "Citizenship," and handed it in to a much masterly way that he electrified all who heard him. He showed that there was no such thing as citizenship in America for the Negro race, and that if the Japanese, who have a strong government behind them, could not be admitted to full citizenship rights, how, then, could the Negro, who had no representative voice in the government of the United States of America, expect to get a decent show? He is another of our farseeing members, and we are always glad to have him speak, for he knows how to go to the heart of any subject on which he speaks. We are going to stand by the old ship of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. and will continue to work for the redemption of our motherland Africa.

This so-called news item is a specific instance of premeditated enemy propaganda, designed to arouse mistrust, and to create discontent, wrife and confusion in and among the many divisions and chapters, and the general membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This piece of rot is as follows:
(Crusader Service)
New York—Resenting the action of Marcus Garvey in turning over the organization to his wife following his conviction in a Federal District Court on the charge of using the United States mails to defraud his race, the heads of the U. N. L. A. divisions throughout the country are reported taking steps to hold a conference among themselves in the very near future to consider the future of the organization. This conference will not be held in New York. That is certain. The division heads consider Harlem a hot-bed of fanaticism and will eschew it. The choice of place appears to lie between Detroit, Chicago and Indianapolis.
It is reported on the highest authority that one of the main questions to be considered by this conference of division heads, will be the calling of the regular annual convention this year in accordance with the constitution of the U. N. I. A. and against the instructions of Marcus Garvey, who, early in February, this year, made the announcement that there would be no convention until 1924, when it
stated from a very low and filthy source, and are applied to a still lower use. The president-general has not turned the organization over to Mrs. Garvey. He has not turned the organization over to any one. Further, it is not his turn to turn over. He would not do so, even though he is its founder and chief exponent. Mr. Garvey as president-general has designated three men among the chosen officers of the association to be the responsible heads during his absence, and until the convention of 1924. These men were elected by the convention. Mr. Garvey designated them as the proper ones to assume his duties in addition to their own as departmental chiefs. These men are Messrs. William L. Sherrill, second assistant president-general; Clifford S. Bourne, chancellor, and Robert L. Poston, secretary-general. They constitute the executive committee of management. In no instance is the policy of the organization changed.
Mrs. Garvey is not a part of this committee. Mrs. Garvey is not on the executive council. Mrs. Garvey is not an officer of the association. Mrs. Garvey does not actively or passively control the organization. It is beneath the dignity of common decency to attempt to drag-the name of an innocent and helpless woman into an arena where the cannot properly defend herself. Only a very ordinary and common individual or set of individuals, or newspapers, would be a party to such low tommyrot.
It is not true that the presidents of the divisions throughout the United States are planning a convention of the U. N. I. A. These presidents have unbounded faith in their chosen officers and those designated by the president-general to "carry on" during his absence. Ninety-nine per cent. of the presidents are true-hearted and loyal to the core, and are not to be classed with the scattered one per cent., who may, in impotent fury, give aid and comfort to the enemy in a futile effort to disrupt and dislocate the organization. Anyone who attempts such is fighting a losing battle. The rank and file of the members are more loyal than ever.
This vicious falsehood as circulated by the so-called "Crusader Service," through certain unfriendly Negro newspapers, will only serve to unite the membership of the organization wherever it chances to creep in.
We are not afraid of this evil propaganda. We merely bring it to the attention of the members so that it may be treated with the contempt which it deserves.
This mud throwing will not soil us. But if it is a fight any one is looking for, they have certainly come to the right place to get it. So let us get at it. The quicker the better. We ask for no quarter, and we surely will not give any.

WE who write history with our reason and not with our prejudices will proclaim to this world from the highest pinnie, from the valleys and from the street corners, that Marcus Garvey is the emancipator and readjuster of all that affects the Negro race, and what affects the Negro race must also affect the whole world at this time.
The ethics of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is accomplishing its objects through the all-consuming desire in the hearts of liberty-loving Negroes the world over. From out the nucleus of this desire springs a mighty power. Its principles keep the desire ignited, by the demonstrations made manifest of these principles, and their dependability one upon the other, which gives persistence to new life in the hearts of its members, and forces them forward by the flames of the new life of true liberty, which forms a defense against the sky of a tomorrow.
Universally, we sense an awakening which will not only furnish the generation to do today, but will inspire generations unborn, and those, and everywhere there is created a sweeping potent elixir
which consumes and perfects this new life, the new feeling, that embodies this allurement. Slowly but surely is enrappe into the heart of its adherents and invigorates them to move on to the recovering of Ethiopia's ancient glory. Like the rustle of the breeze in the nights of our past, these winds of knowledge of ourselves, fan the flickering spark of laigh in its fundamentals, and give us that persistent effort to leap forward by bounds which is a sure sign of progress, and wilt ultimately bring us that return of true life and liberty in the pursuit of happiness which we long for.
But arogant, false, bombastic leadership, leadership that will only stand the test of dollars and cents; leadership that subjects itself to the dictation of the would-be overlordship; leadership that is void of real manhood, but must cry continually of what they suffer and what they do, is not the leadership that will get us very far in this fight for self-determination.
If the indomitable father of this glorious cause had always made it his business to cry and worry over his personal suffering, bemoan his personal sacrifices, we would not, today, be able to write this article. No, but he forgot self, and so absorbed himself into the working out of the problems, so interested himself in the great task, that he, too, paid the penalty alone. If he had always kept before his mind's eye the early troubles encountered by him, the opposition hurled at him, he would have thrown up the sponge long ago, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association would have been a thing of the past. But not so, for, seemingly, he alone understood his plans, and their possibilities. Of all the great or would-be great men around him from time to time, few seemed to be purely interested in the redemption of Africa; and these few exceptions have been manifested by many who have come and gone, some time servers; some personal aggrandizers; some would-be dictators, and some purely money-getters. They have come and they have gone; and still the secret is intact. Of one thing, however, we may be certain, that the Universal Negro Improvement Association can never be stopped, and since the Negro has turned right about face, there is a steady return to the land of our forefathers. Every ship leaving some part of the known world is taking some wide-awake new Negro back to honor the home of his ancestors.
God's love for the human family, His solicitude for all peoples, has been made manifest by His inspiration for the bringing about of this colossal face readjustment plan and the Universal Brotherhood love. Some of the jealous friends of the opposite race object to a Negro being looked upon as a real emancipating readjuster of the world of mankind, but it is too late. Marcus Garvey must forever hereafter be looked upon as such, and there is no fear of ever robbing him of his well earned title, for the Negro shall write his own history.
INDEPENDENT EGYPT
AMONG the items of interest that came over the last issue of The Negro World is that has been granted her independence. We been given that complete independence that she has been struggling for, she now takes a place of H nations, and is thus given an opportunity for de further freedom.

AMONG the items of interest that came over the cables since the last issue of The Negro World is the news that Egypt has been granted her independence. Whilst she has not been given that complete independence that the Progressive party has been struggling for, she now takes a place of her own among the nations, and is thus given an opportunity for development toward further freedom. Her affairs are now placed in Egyptian hands and although Great Britain still retains certain rights with regard to foreign interests, Egypt has now a freedom and-power she never had during the four centuries of Turkish domination.
The course of the new nation has a double interest. It is an experiment from the British point of view. Egypt has been an important part of the British Empire because it represented the control of that great waterway between continents—the Suez Canal—and valuable commercial opportunities on the African continent. Egypt has been an expensive and troublesome problem to Great Britain, and since the war it was demonstrated that it was doubtful if she could be held by force, much longer. The policy now pursued is an expression of faith by England that the empire, including Egypt and India, as well as Canada, Australia and Ireland, can be better preserved by freedom than by suppression. The British are learning their lesson, and it is only a matter of time when the nations who have partitioned Africa among themselves must heed the Negroes' demand for a free and redeemed Africa. As Marcus Garvey said not so long ago, "Britain ought to know she can no longer suppress the rising ambition of the black men of her dominion; America must realize that outnumbered as Negroes are within this country, they have become dissatisfied and will find an outlet for their energies and abilities. We must see to it by our man power, by our higher abilities, and, if need be, by our very blood, that Africa be redeemed." The modicum of independence granted to Egypt should prove an incentive to the Universal Negro Improvement Association to press on towards the goal, and though their doughty leader is still incarcerated they will still hear his voice.

SIDELIGHTS BY A SCRIBE-II
The case of the United States against Marcus Garvey will furnish food for thought long after the grim ferryman has haddled those who witnessed it across the Styrian lake. Wherever thinking Negroes congregate, it will be animadvertised upon. For it was much more than an attempt by a great country to stigmatize one of its citizens as a social vulture; much more than the operation of the forces of law and order against the supposed malevolence of the wrongdoer. It was a fight, at desperate odds, of a leader of the greatest uplift movement of the age, a movement embracing millions of people, against the temporary incarceration not so much of his person as of the progress of his people.
Here is a man who in four years has awakened a people that are the elves of the world, has fashioned a mammoth organisation world-wide in its influence, has enriched the English language with a potent word. He has exploded many myths—the myth of the Negro's discrimination and inability to co-operate; the myth of his mental torpor, his suspense, his contentment with and indifference to his lot. A dreamer, he makes his dreams come true. Bit by bit he is perfecting the impossible.

what among Admiral Tiburg Attlemy, or being madehead for Britain we such an indictment as that required against Ireneq. Garvey and his co-defendants. But if his attitude and conduct throughout the trial goes for anything, he soon put himself to be a child of nausea. There was a case ideally suited for regulation building. What if the charge was, perhaps, not quite the thing? What if the witnesses were somewhat doubtful? There was an ace, a red ace, in the hole.
How. Maxwell Mattuck must have thrilled at the spectacle of Max—white youthful, altruistic, ambitious Max—pleading to twelve white men on behalf of black men, millions of them for the condemnation of a black man the most talked-of in the world, the greatest. Negro leader of his day! Who can wonder that a little personal bitterness entered the youthful prosecutor's soul as the days wore on? Who can wonder that his task became a task of love, transcending, a mad obsession, a vehement passion? And when the defendant had the audacity for four weeks to oppose his layman's wit to the legal omniscience, who can wonder that the strife became embittered, that discretion fled and with it all semblance of dignity or polise?
Peep in at the Federal 'Court room on the afternoon of June 9. The prosecutor is making his final effort.' He is like a man possessed. He tells the jury that at times he has felt that the government's case was rotten, ever so weak. Truth will out. He is no orator. His voice is harsh and unmusical. His words are not too carefully chosen. He spends a quarter of an hour in letting the jury understand that his clients are Negroes, every one of them. "Garvey got none of my money" he shouts. "He got none of the money of any white people. He took the money of his own people and they are the people I am interested in, more than he is, as I hope to show." Judge Mack, writing, looks up slyty from his pad. Marcus Garvey smiles. "Feeling uncomfortable, I tug at my collar. The prosecutor wears the 'expression of a missionary' in far-off Africa.
And believe it, gentle reader, the glory of Garvey was one of the most important things in the case. The prosecutor said it. Listen to the very words: "The glory of Garvey has been the thesis of this case, the thesis of his operations. Garvey is a big man, a President of Africa, and when I asked witnesses about Mr. Garvey's presidency of Africa, it was not jocular, it was not in the spirit of fun or viciousness. It was because it becomes a necessary proof to you, gentlemen, that the glory of Garvey was one of the important things in this case."
The K. K. K. gave a demonstration at Tuskegee recently to accentuate and emphasize the demand for a, white personnel to man the new hospital established there. It is significant and it means only this—that either white men will be put in charge of this hospital or there won't be a hospital at Tuskegee. Unless the administration stands by Dr. Moton like death to a dead Indian, which is not at all likely, for as the Negro has always been the basis of every compromise effected between Southern whites and Republican administrations at Washington, this matter of the Tuskegee hospital will almost certainly be compromised to the prejudice of those for whom it is said to have been established. If any other course is followed, Tuskegee will suffer in more ways than one the vengeance of the white man. As I have already remarked, Tuskegee is the last spot in America on which to establish such a hospital, and that placing it there has all the earmarks of a political trick. "The time is not ripe" to give Negroes full charge of institutions supported by national appropriations. This is the crusis of the matter and the cause of the trouble at Tuskegee.
Prof. Alam Leroy Locke of the faculty of Howard University at Washington, D.C.; who was the first Negro to win a Rhodes scholarship, sailed from this city for England on the steamship Caronin on June 30. Before his departure he was given a farewell dinner at Craig's the incomparable caterer, 103 West 130th street, on the evening of June 29 at 5:30, by members of the Negro Society for Historical Research, of which he is an honored member and under whose auspices he is going abroad. Prof. Locke will visit Switzerland and will very probably go to Egypt before he returns to this country, which will be some time in January. The dinner was attended by twelve gentlemen, of whom were members of the society except two. The officers of the society are: Honorary president, the late King Lewanika of Barosetland; John E. Bruce, president; A. A. Schomburg, secretary; Rev. Chas. D. Martin, vice-president. The society devotes itself to the collection of rare books, manuscripts, prints and curios concerning Negroes all over the world.
It seems to me that District Attorney Mattuck, who I learn, is in line for promotion since his successful handling of the Garvey case, resorted to the methods employed by pest-forging attorneys when he objected to the granting of bail to the defendant after his conviction and sentence on the ground that he is a monace to the community and that his organization is engaged in the manufacture of bombs and has purposed and stored arms in its properties. If Mr. Mattuck had been absolutely sure of his facts, why did he not produce the evidence during the program of the trial? But his charge was wickedly false and was made with the desperation which usually follows when a presenting attorney诉他 that he has just cane and with the intention of in-
He ridiculed the Black Star Line's operations as being part of a movement, laying access on the "it" in "spiritual" either for drama emphasis or from misdirection. He calls Maros Gavry's "paranite," a robber. Then proceeds by close reasoning to show not his personal gains, but that the Black Star Line's money was squandered in the purchase and repair of worthless ships. He finds fault with Mr. Gavry's conduct of his case. His fighting attitude irked him. "I was glad," he cries, "he tried his own case so that you people would know exigency what type of a man these people had to deal with. Has his conduct throughout this case, which I am asking you to consider and which you must consider, has that conduct been the conduct of an innocent man? Or has it been the conduct of a man continually holding back, anxious to hear only, those facts he thought would help and let anything that would help him go in? Was that the conduct of an innocent man? Consider also his insults to the witnesses," etc. etc. What an argument!
But if the prosecutor had anything up his sleeve, it was spread upon the table in his final words, naked and unashamed. He counselled the jury to concern themselves... not only with whether Marcus Garvey or any of his co-defendants was guilty, but with whether they would let loose "the Tiger."
- "The Tiger." "I thank thee, Jew. For teaching me that word." Gratiano ralled at the exacting Shylock in the moment of his discomfiture. It was destined and it was fitting that a representative of the government of the greatest democratic country in the world should let the world of Negroes understand that as Clemencau is "The Tiger" of France, so is Garvey "The Tiger" of unredeemed Africa. "I thank Jew, for teaching me that word."
But these are the very words: "in conclusion, gentlemen, upon your verdict will depend the continued activities of these professional exploiters who under the guise of charity and philanthropy are enriching themselves. By your verdict you are going to approve or disapprove the conduct of these men. By your verdict you are not only going to decide whether or not Garvey is innocent, and Tobias and Thompson and Garela are innocent, but whether you are going to turn loose upon the community of Negro people a parasite, an exploiter, a man ever ready to enrich himself by prostituting the desire of a people to better themselves. "Are you going to turn the tiger loose?"
(To be continued.)
quencing the jury and the minis of the public that Mr. Garvey's organization is a murder bind, plotting against the peace and order of the U. S. A. It was a very despicable piece of work for an attorney of reputation for honor and fair play.
His charge has not been proven and, what is more, it cannot be. His minions, led by the redoubtable Judas, have searched the U. N. I. A. offices and Liberty Hall and have utterly failed to discover any evidence to support their chief's wild and seemingly malicious charge. What does this all mean if it does not mean that the plot to "get Garvey" planned months ago was to be carried out at all hazards? Six months ago his enemies were telling their friends that he would be convicted and would get a five-year sentence. How did these gentlemen know what the verdict was going to be six months ago?
My friend D. E. Tobias in his few scattering remarks in Liberty Hall at the mass meeting last Sunday said a whole mouthful when he declared, including to the Garvey case: We are going to ram it into the realm of practical politics and ram it for all it is worth. And we will. This case cannot be discussed with a sneer and it will not be allowed to rest in the grave dug for it by the able conspirators who assisted the court to render an unfair decision which smells rank to heaven. Like Banquo's ghost it will not down. "The damned spot" on the escutcheon of justice will not out. Whatever happens the vindication of Marcus Garvey is opined and the demotion of the plotters who imagina they have despoiled him is a foregone conclusion. The U. N. I. A. members have long memories and the patience to wait for the coming of the morning when justice shall have a hearing.
A CARD OF THANKS
Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey takes this medium of returning thanks to the several divisions, their officers and members, and also numerous friends and well-wishers outside the organization_for their kind expressions of sympathy sent her, and particularly for the expressions of loyalty to the President-general and the U. N. I. A.
She desires particularly to thank the Executive Secretary of the Hamtramck Division No. 189, of Michigan, for that division's expression of their deep sorrow at the apparent success of the destart plot of the enemy against the President-General, and to assure them that their determination to stand behind President-General with their prayers and their money to help vindicate the principles of our. ground and noble organization; goes a long way in helping to assuage the sorrow that for the time being our shadows her. She feels comforted with the knowledge that so many loyal hearts are beating in union with her, and to tell them that their sympathy heartens her, and gives her redeemed courage to aid in the fight for obtaining justice for her dear husband.
Wilfred Griffith of No. 37 Pressant street, Cambridge, Mass., in a letter to the Boston Chronicle, says among other things:
"Taking the attitude of the Negro press into consideration we do not wonder that Assistant District Attorney Mattuck, said, 'Garvey is a menace'; but Mattuck spoke more truly than he knew.
"Yes, Garvey is a menace. He is a menace to the successful continuation of the white man's injustices to the Negro, he is a menace to the success of the white man's propaganda against the Negro, he is a menace to the realization of the white man's dream of racial supremacy; he is a menace to the success of the white man's continual exploitation of Africa.
"Garvey has proved, his manhood during the past five weeks, he has shown his courage and proved his fearlessness before the eyes of the world; he has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the old cringing Negro is indeed dead, and that a new Negro has taken his place—a Negro who is not afraid to face difficulties, who is not afraid of the numerical superiority of the enemy, but who rights harder, and harder in the face of each successive demonstration of force by the enemy. Garvey is indeed the fearless champion of the Negro peoples of the world.
"They have condemned an innocent man because they have allowed their minds to become prejudiced against him, because they realize that the success of his program would mean the shattering of their dream of white supremacy. The advocates of prejudice are seeking to destroy the contrateral spirit of the Negro, the advocates of white supremacy are seeking to destroy the dawning consciousness of the Negro, the advocates of African exploitation are seeking to destroy the faith of the Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But Negroes who have not been interested are beginning to take the movement seriously, they have heard the command of Marcus Garvey: "Fellow men of the Negro race, your backs are to the wall; prepare for the 1924 convention on the soil of the motherland and hold the line." And the answer is coming back from every village and hamlet, city, and town: "We will hold the line; the enemy shall not pass."
W. O. SMYER, EDITOR OF THE VOICE OF NEW NEGRO, ADVISES MEMBERS OF U. N. I. A. TO STAND UNSHAKEN IN THEIR DETERMINATION
In all the ages of the history of mankind we find that every oppressed mass or struggling race group that aspired to that independent achievement where the strongest forces organized against any sudden change in the moral and political inertia could, only be overcome by great sacrifices and unbelievable determination to conquer in spite of all the agents of darkness.
Race groups that were not willing to pay the price of liberty or that were incapable of facing the supreme test uninfringingly were lost in the hazy mists of the past and soon forgot and were forgotten. Being unwilling to suffer, were unworthy the crown.
While the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the founder and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—which at once represents the greatest expression of independent Face consciousness that ever emanate from the black people of the world—is now passing through a cloud of persecution which in spirit and purpose is not very much unlike that through which Mahatma Ghandi, the Moses of the East Indian; Mustapha Kemel Pasha, the Moses of the New Turk; Zaglouti Pasha, the Moses of the Egyptian, and others are passing or have passed in leading their respective races through a baptism of persecution, slowly but surely to a newer and higher destiny, let us an immovable and uncompromising believers in the philosophy of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. stand to our posts like Heroes not afraid of all the hosts of Hades.
Allow me to quote from the Voice of the New Negro: "Empires are rushing toward oblivion, kingdoms are crashing in bits and splinter, the slave-trading ghouls of capitalism throughout the world are growing frantic as they see the hand-writing on the wall and the new age rushing upon the astonished gaze of the world." We are now facing the supreme test. While doing field work as commissioner the people testify everywhere that I fought like a hero, and now as a faithful health member I shall still fight, night and day like hell, that the principles of the U. N. I. A. must not, cannot, shall not perish from the earth. Up to your guns like more or black to your charges like given. Long Live Carver the Great!
Long Mve Carver, the Open!

(BY JOHN HAUGHTON.)
When you consider the rise and fall of nations and races, the success and destruction of governments and great empires, you will understand why our enemies are so anxious to "get the liger." But even if they are successful in getting this particular tiger, when I doubt, they will also have other tigers to get, and perhaps, even more fierce!
Marcus Garvey has brought into one great whole a larger number of Negroes in a shorter space of time than any other man living or dead. He has directed the thoughts of that great mass towards freedom from oppression, toward the land of Africa, our motherland, which is now held by the European exploiters and the big capitalists of America.
They may hang him, they may kill him, they may even burn him at the lake, but the soul of the man will live on. it shall live! So it makes in particular difference whether they
set the "tiger" or not, they will still have about a hundred million more to get. The fight is on, and it is going to be a fight to the finish. They will understand that this fight for Negro freedom and emancipation is not going to stop because they have conceived Marcus Garvey on a charge of raid, which was the work of foreign infomacy—the whole world knows that it was a frame-up. They had destroyed the Black Star Line with he hope that they would be able to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and having failed utterly in this, they sought to get "the tiger"—now, they will have to get our hundred millions of Negroes of the world.
The spirit that directed Marcus Harvey to start this great movement is now among the masses, we shall gather new inspiration from his noble works, the sacrifices he has made, and a still making, for the redemption of race. In carrying out his policies, and the program of this great movement, that malicious and contemptuous class of Negroes now in opposition allowed themselves to be used as tools for white capitalism and politics. We have now realized and concluded that Africa is the only redemption of the black race, and if we lose Africa the whole race is doomed! Of course, many of us can't see this now, but we all shall realize it later.
The Race Must Live.
Men who understand the economic, the political and commercial advancement and development of the nations and races of the earth know that in another 500 years the world will be so organized, and the nations and races of mankind so politically and scientifically established, each in its
given domain, that there will be also
happy we hope for any dependent and
distinct nation. Now, if we allow Great
Britain and Europe to populate Africa,
slowly undermining the black men
from the earth, what then will become
of our sons and daughters, with our
race, 600 years from today? This is
a question that every Nigerian must
answer for himself. This race shall
live, it shall never die! Africa must be
redeemed!
But there still remains a deeper motive behind the movement of the N. A. A. C. P. Jewish capitalism, and British diplomacy. You will understand that the Jews are few in numbers in comparison with the great race groups of the world. They are looking for a universal and dramatic world change, and there is only one thing that will enable them to secure their future, destiny, and their financial interest—now if they can through the influence of the N. A. A. C. P. create a substantial mixture within the racer, they feel that the intermediate portion will fall over on their side, which will, they hope, swell their numbers, and help to perpetuate their economic and commercial interest and power.
But I say to that Jew—for all Jews are not so foolish, they do not think the same way—I say to that Jew who is figuring this way, you and the N. A. A. C. P. both may perish—and it will be only a matter of time when you will realize that it would have been better if you had saved this particular "tiger." Get "the tiger!" and by doing so hope to destroy Negro ambition, and the spirit of the man—well, let me tell you this, you are making the mistake of your life. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only movement in the world among mankind that is destined to save humanity, and it is because of this fact that our great leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, has pledged to his God that he will carry on, carry on until he can carry on, no more, until He calls him to rest!
Therefore, the time has come, the hour has struck! This race must decide to live or die! The spirit which impelled the great Leader to make the sacrifice that he is making for the cause of the emancipation of four hundred million oppressed and downtrodden people will remain with us; it was the voices of millions of our ancestors, who died in slavery, and so suffered that we should live, died in bondage and oppression, of this white man, crying from the dead, from the depths of the grave, saying, go on, Marcus, go on!
Now is the time to stand together like one man in the support of this great organization, it must not fall, it is our only future hope, for it will be only through the Universal Negro Improvement Association that we shall ever be able to rise above this condition of oppression and become a respected people.
AN OMISSION
In our report in last week's issue of The Negro World of the monster meeting held at Liberty Hall to adopt the petition sent to President Harding on behalf of the President-General of the U. N. I. A. we omitted to mention the name of Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey as among those on the platform. Mrs. Garvey was not only present, but, she took an extremely active part in arranging the details in connection with the meeting, and its success was in a great measure due to the thorough manner in which everything was looked after and her untiring efforts and zeal on her husband's behalf. Only those closely connected with Mrs. Garvey's work know the unselfish devotion she has shown in trying to obtain for Mr. Garvey that modicum of justice that all fair-minded people agree he is entitled to.
To the College and Members of The Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Friends of Our Leader, the Honorable Marcos Carvoy;
We appeal to and nudge you to keep generate faith with your leader and your organization at this time, more so than ever. We are going through a crisis now that will test your loyalty to the very core. There is and probably will be lots of rumors going around that may, if you give them any consideration, cause you to flatter in your obligations; therefore, we do not want any officer or member to entertain any hearsay information whatsoever, because if you do and import it to some one else it will give us a deal of trouble at headquarters.
Always secure your information relative to your leader and movement direct from headquarters. If you do that you can not go wrong, as we are working night and day to on to the best of our ability, until the one who guides our destiny is with us again.
If anything should arise in your community that is detrimental to the good and welfare of the grandest and noblest organization ever known to Negroes the world over, be no part of the deed; let those of you who are slaves and honest work toward the accomplishment of the ideals for which our father, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, holds dearest to his heart. We are all in great sympathy with him. We wish we could be with him to cheer him on, for women in every sense of the word and carry out this appeal to the letter, and we will be more than thankful to you all.

GREAT CHURCH GROUPS CONDEMN MOB RULE
Southern Baptist Convention and Methodist Mission Board Voice Growing Sentiment
ATLANTA, Ga. (Special to the Negro World).—Strong statements adopted last month by the Southern Baptist Convention and the Southern Methodist Board of Missions are pointed out by the commission on interracial co-operation as further indication of the growing determination of the South to eradicate lynching and mob violence. These bodies represent the two greatest denominations in the South, with an aggregate membership of about six millions. The Baptists in annual convention in Kansas City adopted the following:
"This convention has repeatedly gone on record as unalterably opposed to all sorts of mob violence and mob rule. Perhaps the most violous and the most dangerous form of lawlessness in our present day is found in the activity and violence of mobs. We both pity and condemn Bolshevism in Russia, and rightly so, while we have occurrences in our own fair land, which could chill our blood with horror if they happened in Russia or in any other land, however benighted or
some kind of kind of noise, however, and indulged in many other of the same three connected with the theater and became the difficulty of apprehending and penetrating these members by wounding them. It gave without saying that no true, intelligent, patriotic American can or will give support or approval to such violence whether the man be method or unmedicated, much less can our living people and probes our think of so doing. We cannot but hope that all our posters and choruses will studiously retain from giving approval or support to procedure that can possibly encourage disorder in any form."
The resolution of the Methodist Mission Board came up in connection with a recent lynching and was as follows:

The act of building ships and shipping is as old as the stone age. Man with the aid of sharp stone implements, carved out, boats from the trunk and bark of large trees, on the order of the canoe. They were equipped with sails made from leaves of trees. That was the first step that man made in hydrotranspiration. This was at first conceived only to inland rivers and lakes, and not until about 4,000 B. C. did ocean transportation begin. It was about the same time the Egyptians established ships with the Persians and later with Greece.

of history at the university of Addis Abibi, it is known to be the oldest in the world.
The Egyptians equipped the first ship of war, which was a former merchant ship converted into a battle ship, which was similar to our present wooden schooner, ranging from fifty to about 200 gross tons. They were also credited with the primary step in developing hydrographic charts and lighthouses, which now stand as a monument to present civilization; for example, an old Egyptian lighthouse still stands a few miles south of Alexandria. According to Pearl's Cyclopedia, England was discovered in the year 400 B.C. by an Egyptian who landed somewhere in the Basilat Channel.
It was not until about the fourteenth century that the Europeans took the advantage of inter-oceanic trade and transportation. Just about that time Vasco De Gimbo, a Portuguese navigator, rounded the Cape of Good Hope en route for India and discovered South Africa. It was often said that he was of mixed blood, that is, Negro and Caucasian. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to engage in real navigation, also export and import trades. It was the Portuguese who developed the sextant in 1394 A. D., the chief instrument in navigation, inasmuch as the compass had already been developed by Chinese, Egyptians and Carthaginians. With these two instruments and the chart navigation and inter-oceanic trade was made a reality, because, at the time, the Egyptians, Carthaginians, Grecians, Persians, Romans and Chinese had the secret and knew the art of shipbuilding on a practical basis.
When Christopher Columbus, made his historic voyage that led to the discovery of America, navigation and shipbuilding was in its infancy; still we may mark that trade, shipbuilding, and navigation can be easily traced back from the stone age in Egypt.
Prof. Van Meyer, in his essay on an ancient heliocentric system, were the greatest of all ancient naval fighters; one admiral wiped out five Roman fleets, alternatively, and were never defeated until about 202 B. C. when Hannibal was defeated by Sculpte, which was due to the superiority of the Carthaginian's ships and men." According to Prof. Johnson's writings the Carthaginians were Anglo-Egyptians, and some Phoenicians.
Polybius says that Rome's first ship was built from the pattern of a wrecked Carthaginian galley 260 B. C.
The Advent of the Steam Engine
The Advent of the Steam Engine
After the discovery of the steam engine in 1769 by James Watt, many engineers tried to apply the steam engine to ships, but not until within the eighteenth century was it actually accomplished, then a marine steam engine was brought on the scene by Robert Fulton. A short while after John Ericsson invented the screw propeller, and about the same time Stevens had developed a high pressure water tube boiler. Even steam originated in Egypt Stevens Hiscox in his essay on the history of steam.
At a later period Ericsson, Fulton and Stevens introduced iron shipbuilding, which created a new era in the history of that age, especially in naval and merchant marine.
It may be said that the Negro had no hand in the development of the iron steamship, but still the law that pertains to the buoyancy of iron ships was discovered by a Negro, Ptolemy by name, who was an Egyptian mathematician.
Negroes of the Western hemisphere have been absolutely afraid of ships for the sole reason that they were brought to the Western world in ships and sold as slaves. But a strange incident occurred during the Civil War. A Negro slave who was formerly a navigator stole a ship from the Confederate Government and turned it over to the Union Government; since that time the Negroes are gradually becoming interested in ships.
It is said that the Haitians were the first Negroes of the Western World to operate ships as Negro capitalists. It is true so far as dating back to the days of Toussaint L'Overture.
First Negro Steamship Co.
Some time in the year 1910 Chief Sam, an African king, came to America. His idea was to run a steamship line from America to Africa. He organized a company, sold stocks and bought a ship some time in 1912. At that time the ship was under the American registry. Chief Sam's intention was very good, but no sooner did it become known to the British Government, who owns the greater part of Africa, than they immediately used their power and retarded the progress of Chief Sam's object, and this is the way it was done:
A Negro, who had a navigator, certificate and engineer's certificate of British issue, influenced Sam to change the registry from American to British. This was done with the specific purpose of having all colored officers man the ship. Sam, ignorant of the trap, which was laid by the British Government, yielded and later fell a victim.
They: made a trip to Africa to a British port known as Lagos, then the
British held the ship for inspection and pronounced it to be unseaworthy. The cause of the so-called unseaworthiness of the ship was known to all the stockholders, also to every one who was interested in its project. Sam died breakhearted, after which the project was ruined.
Another Neare Attempt
Then another shipping project, called the African Steamship and Sawmil Company, organised in the year 1915 by Bishop Heard and Dr. Jordan of the Baptist Foreign Mission Society of Philadelphia, came into existence and was practically financed by the colored members of the Baptist and Methodist churches. Their idea was unquestionably good. They were to run a line of ships to Liberia, Africa, with the sawmil for the purpose of developing the industrial welfare of Liberia. They went well until a few apes operating for the British and French got inside. Then they were nipped in the bud of their project through a stock deal. At this time the writer was acting as consulting engineer, and advised the board to buy American ships from the United States Shipping Board, which they adhered to, as they knew of Chief Sam's troubles and would like to profit by same.
Now, if they had acquired one of the United States Shipping Board's ships on the deferred payment, plan they could not have run it under any other registry but that of the United States, which would mean ample protection against the foreign powers who assume holdings in Africa. Naturally the French of British could not affect their progress in any form other than in underhand stock dealings, which they cleverly did.
Comes the Black Star Line
Then in 1919 came forth the Black Star Line fostered by Marcus Garvey and his associates. His program was to run ships between America and Africa and the West Indies. Their intention was good, which can be seen by the work they have done. They succeeded in operating three ships famely, the Yarmouth, Kauaiwa and the Shindy Side. They also had the same experience that Chief Sam and Dr. Jordan had undergone in trying to promote a steamship line. They were handcapped by officers who aligned themselves with foreign powers to serve as spies so as to cause the downfall of the Black Star Line, which they succeeded in doing in a short space of time. Some of these men had worked themselves into prominent positions in the offices of the company and held executive offices by which means they operated with much more case for the purposes they were after.
They tried very hard to have the ships placed under British registry, but they did not achieve their aim owing to the fact that Marcus Garvey was too clever for them, and absolutely refused to do so. His reason for having the ships under American registry was for the protection that could be had from the American Government. And by so doing would make the Black Star Line a reality.
We can readily see that the only way to retard the running of the Black Star Line was the way it was done by the spies. "The supposed using of the mails to defraud the public was fostered by those who were employed as spies, and they eventually succeeded in putting over their program. It has been agreed by the leading officials of America that Marcus Garvey could not have done a better thing for his race. Although the Black Star Line is temporarily discontinued, the reorganizing of the Black Star Line depends on the decision of the court, and with the experience of the past, the organization should be able to make the steamship business a success.
Not only colored American steamship companies were handicapped by British and French aversion, but also white companies. For example; The Bull Line Steamship Company and their African route. It has also been said that the cause of the last marine strike was due to British interests, for whilst the American ships were tied up in the harbours, the British ships gained the African routes, and through that resulted the entire Shipping Board's ships being tied up.
"It may, with safety, he asserted," says Prof. W. F. Auchinbaugh, of Columbia University, "that we have no friends in foreign trade." He says this in a statement of what this country's foreign trade has suffered from the hostile propaganda put out against it by European competition. And to confirm his statement, up to this date, one has only to read from day to day of the solid front put up by France and England against American business in the Near East, Africa and South America. Divided on everything else, England and France are still united against American maritime business, right or wrong.
In the Middle West there are more practical business men urging the claims of South and Central America on the businesslike attention of this country today than there are propagandists demanding that we give our sole attention to Europe. But somehow the arguments and reports-in favor of South American and African business do not get the publicity. All the free advertising seems to be secured by the European press agents and emissaries. Again, William F. Gibha, America's foremost marine engineer and naval architect, who had charge of the reconditioning of the S. S. Laviathan, said on her trial trip: "This is a great accomplishment, a glory to the American flag. If our friend, the enemy, want to be shown, let them send the British ship Majestic against the American ship Laviathan, and they will be shown that Britannia's day of ruling the waves is short."

WEEKLY SERMON
Subject "Paying Prices in Den of Lions."
(Text continued from week before last.)
I. We have here an impressive burgeoning concern heredity.
"Their 'children' were cast into the dan of ilions as well as those men. Again a hint of what we daily see around us. I would not so, greatly mourn some men being in the den of ilions were it not that they involve their children in suffering. Considered as an act of Persian despotism, it was unmitigated cruelty to cast the children into the ilons' den, though it was a law of Persia that the family share the offender's fate. The Macedonians, it appears, had a similar degree in the case of those who committed treason. The children being thus punished were distinctly forbidden in the law of Moses. (Deut 24:16). Human's ten sons were stained when he explained his offense: that was the working of the same Persian law as applied in the case before us. But how this suggests a great and solemn law of nature and humanity? The children share the den of ilions with the fathers. Physical evil is hereditary. Diseases often descend from sire to son and from mother to daughter. Mental peculiarities are transmitted. Moral qualities come under the sweep of this great law. Drinkenness is hereditary in some families; so is uncleanness; so are other sins. Thank God grace is more than a match for heredity. God's saving love can enable us to overcome any evil, however it may have run in the blood. But the golem tendency remains. The children are liable to enter the den of ilions as the parents. Let this 'act arrest any who are carerering along careless of their children's course. Fearful it is that children should share the pain and shame of their parents' sin: it sinners could but suffer alone! But they cannot. Their little ones are doomed to sorrow. Yet, thank God, it is gloriously true that sinners may emerge from the moral den of ilions and emancipate their children, too. II. My text describes a peculiarly sad social result of sin.
There is tragic paths in the fact that "their wives" shared the terrors of the den of lions. It was a Persian law that the wife shared the fate of a guilty husband. But it suggests one of the sad facts of present-day life. There are wives who are daily afflicted by the torments their godless husbands have brought upon them. It is in the climax of a bad man's cruelty that he is so often the means of consigning his wife to the dens of lions. What many a patient woman suffers through the scandalous vagaries of her husband. Her life is a long and often heroic contest with leonine sortows and desolations. If any man whom these words reach is bringing, or has brought, this agony upon a faithful wife. I would urge him for her sake, to turn from his evil ways and commit himself to the Christ who can deliver him and his from the mouth of the lions.
II. "Finally, my text tells of the swift and overwhelming destruction of eyebrows."
It is a harrowing tale; I shall not amplify it. "And the lions had the mastery of them and broke all their homes in pieces." An overwhelming doom! "Or ever they came at the bottom of the den." A ferribly swift fate!
Josephus has a conceit that the satraps had complained that the lions had just been fed, and so did not devour Daniel; therefore, when Daniel's accusers were cast in, the king had the lions well fed. Yet the accusers were devoured. Suffice it to say that the irrational lions seemed as if they diseased the heinousness of these men's offense, and they destroyed them pituitously.
The doom of the evildoer is often swift. "He is suddenly cut off" Overwhelming it always is. "Eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord" is too terrible to contemplate. The hell of the wicked is often awful even in this life; but who can portray the hell of eternity? Oh, see the exceeding sinfulness of sin in the gluttony light of the doom of sin. What a fate for a redeemed man to be cast into the den of the roaring lion, othor adversary, the devil! From such a fate, which assuredly awaits the finally impenetrable, may the good Lord deliver us. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, yet "He delighteth in mercy. The eternal Son of God died to hear our condemnation and to save us to the uttermost. God is not willing that any should perish."
To the seakers after truth nothing is important unless it be something based upon logic and logic upon scientific demonstrations. This must be of all that is incorporated into the knowledge of gathered experience, when it is a question of determining the nature of properties in every species of animate and inanimate matter.
That the grouping together of the unicellular producer another individual in the multicellular and that salt in the resultant of component parts of sodium and chlorine are facts borne out by science. But, it in seeking truth or reality we confine ourselves to matter science must answer all questions; thus, to be so, every truth must objectify itself as matter—a spatial and temporal existence due to causation. We have become seriously involved.
*Truth is identical and eternal every-
where; it has an existence independent of empirical life, and must be distinguished from it as, for example, the law of gravitation existed; whether Newton discovered it or not. The empire of the man of science is limited and ends where he finds himself, as Herbert Spencer tells us. "In the presence of an eternal energy from which all things proceed." But a small distance from his domain he sees in a dark cavern the display of images projected upon its walls, but in his devotion to matter he can neither turn to behold the real play nor investigate its director.
The Power of Faith
The question, "Who has seen enough for description through this dazzling light of reality?" presents a subject for much speculation. We have to reconcile a concrete idea with an abstract one, the other no more qualified than the one. A second. Moses must appear; his office is that of the metaphysician and the theologian. As his subject extends beyond the horizon of sense there presents a difficulty; but, added by the will to believe and the telescopic power of faith, the sphere of his conviction is widened indefinitely, and with vision still dark from the glare, the inquirer tells of a palpable reality which, in its fullness, either evades his knowledge or sinks behind his creature impotency.
However, there is no subjective existence that has not its objective reality. Whether we know the thing to be created or not in the contemplative mind the subject is constructed in relation to or in the being of some known object or objects. We have only to bring together a variety and multiplicity of parts of universal content and give to them a unity of form and being. This hath reality in proportion to the magnitude of our finite nature. Thus, our conception of the infinite as conditioned by the finite destroys proportionately the unknowable and discloses in extent the knowable. Our potency detaches itself from our impotency as a god in miniature.
In this sense religion is not at variance with other truths when from the glaring evidence everywhere it seeks to give to eternal verity an objective existence for its glorification and adoration. This satisfies the soul which at once recognizes its identity as contingent of the comprehensive all, but it does not satisfy reason, which requires definite proof even beyond Unite apprehension; therefore, while we cannot enunciate our convictions with the same degree of accuracy as in the proposition. "The opposite angles formed by the intersection of two straight lines are equal," we can, from our knowledge, of two straight lines, declare they will never meet if they run in parallel directions through infinite space.
But while inquiry does not thoroughly compensate for the want of knowledge it is certain that it stimulates to it, and this stimulation is the ever-increasing energy, that keeps aglow the spiritual aspirations of man and gives blood and tissue to the skeleton of religion. We have only to see that we do not cloak it with confused mysticism, superstition, funatism, asceticism and bigotry. In its pure state religion is the highest operation that engages the human mind; even as errors do not preclude its necessity as it claims the devotion of every man; yet it must remember that it is of the earth, an earth necessity, and by taking this humble position can it ever hope to be called up to a higher seat at feast with the gods. To lay up treasures in heaven we must labor on earth for compensation. "Then" as Emerson says, "will God go forth anew into the creation."
Lofty Idealisms of Jesus
This conception of God and the devotion to Him comes up to the level of consciousness in contradistinction to the ironic, one-sided and blizzar description in the religious history of the Jews, even though their muses set the soul unto such a conviction. In what follows I must defend the ideal character of the man who with the religion which bears his name seems to be losing influence in the general sweep of new ideas. Of the intellectual moralizations of the pagan world, those of Marcus Adellus, 121-130 A.D., stand out pre-eminently in magnanimity and fidelity; but neither these nor those of any Greek come within commendable approach to the lofty idealisms of Jesus. As George Henry Lowes remarked: "No Greek ever attained the sublimity of such a point of view. Love your enemy." Indeed, all human theorizing have fallen beneath it. Its possibility is declared in another axiom: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" unconditionally.
If we refuse to acknowledge ourselves in our neighbor we make it impossible to love him as ourselves; only when we rise above our animal nature of hate and revenge can we make the divine axioms possible and become friends with our adversaries quickly.
The positive moral philosophy taught by Jesus, as against the "Thou shalt not" contained in the Pantaleuch, has a constancy and sublimity for beyond the experimental life of man. To that highest consciousness of God which was His alone, religion is responsible for the celestial promise of reward for virtue which another the sorrows, heals the wounds and drives away the fears of man when he is disatisfied, not only with the burdens of this life, but when he contemplates the grim reality of death.
This explains why the persecuted masses of humanity have taken refuge under its comforting wings.
Whether this be or he not the rightful superstructure, one thing is sure, that the universality of the conscious reality of the Supreme Power is the indispensable source — the Almighty Rock upon which religion can safely build its holy of holies wherein the worshippers can sanctify themselves for/"the gains eternal root."

How is Georgia, Alabama?
Write from where Miami flows.
Write to me from o'er the ocean—
Winds grow thirst and free the waves;
But the captor never wearies;
Of oppressing weeping slaves.
Ah! I know you bear a burden,
And I seem to hear you algh.
But the U. N. I. A. will free you—
And the time is very nigh.
Slavery's hand is growing rigid;
Soon its monster corps shall be
Cast away to fire and brimstone;
And the slave shall be set free!
The "Negro New" has bade adieu
To Mr. "Negro Old!"
He packs his grip to take his trip.
He's certain, stern and bold.
His fears have fled, his doubts are dead,
His faith in others broken;
The Red and Green, with Black between,
He carries as the token.
He promises to go with ease
And get what's his by right;
But should that fail to fill his pall,
He'll use a little might.
Who dare deny he'll fight or die
To establish his own fame?
He fought and died for those who lied.
He'll fight for his the same.
The "Negro Old" used to be sold;
His days were days of slavery.
The "Negro New" they can't see through.
His days are days of bravery.
He had good health, and had vast wealth.
But those who had the brains
Took all the wealth—yes, all the wealth.
And left him the remains.

THE KINDRED RACIAL FLAME
Humanity! Humanity!!
Oer all the world the same;
There dimly burns within each breast
A kindred racial flame.
The deadly dormant it may be,
Entirely hid from sight.
But at the cry of peril
It becomes a beacon light,
It attains each group to action.
Oer all the world the same;
This little, hidden something.
Called the kindred racial flame.

GARVEY'S CONVICTION A CHALLENGE TO NEGRO RACE THAT SHOULD ROUSE THEM TO SEE GREAT NEED FOR UNITY
Bishop J. Frederick: Solkridge of the United Christian Church writes: As you are well aware, the cause of Negro freedom and manhood consciousness has been very dear and precious to me for many, many years; also my devotion to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Having patiently latent, read and considered the Garvey case and trial with the fitting oratorical climaxes in defense of the race as a whole, the whole circumstance brings to my mind that scene of long ago in the life of another illustrious leader, Moses of Israel, who returning from the very presence of the Most High and finding the people overwhelmed in idolatry, through the vacillation and weakened yieldings of Aaron, uttered that clarion question and call, found in Exodus 32-26, "Who is on the Lord's side," or more truly distinct, "Who is on the race's side, let him come, on me." Let any who wish read the whole chapter and make the fitting comparisons, which are closely parallel. But my concern and consideration at this imminent hour is with the call, "Who is on the Lord's side?" or more truly distinct, "Who is on the race's side, let him now stand up like a man?" Who are the real members of the U. N. A. in truth and principle? Let them now declare themselves and push the battle to the gate. "For if ever the time was ripe and urgent, now is that time—when it is to be manifested, whether the Negroes in America are awakening to manhood consciousness and racial solidarity, or only have been following the clamoring crowd behind this great leader of the Negro peoples, Marcus Garvey, for whatever may be asked against him as an individual or a business man, this must be acknowledged; that he has gathered more Negroes into one organization, he has declared greater manhood principles and fought for larger Negro human rights than any other leader in his day and time, and thus proving his God-given, innate quality as a given, artist, orator and organizer, would to God he had stuck to his earlier expressed wish to be organizer and founder only! But be that as it may, the question of the hour is: Have the Negroes in America given his spirit? Have they imbibed their devotion to the principles of liberty and freedom, and while he rests in jail, have his efforts given birth to five, ten, twenty or fifty Marcus Garvey, that will hold and lead and add the millions who need such a leadership? Where are the men who stood aloft and crutinized, told how they could do better? Now, now is their time to rally to the standard of the Red, Black and Green. The whole world of nations is now looking at the Negroes in America to see if Marcus Garvey works among the Negroes of the world has been in vain, or whether, as he declared, he was only the mouthpiece, the spokesman of 40 million, if not 100 million, Negroes. This question reverberates into a clear-sounding call, "Who of the Negro race is on the Negro's side, let him now come forth." Yea, the trial and sentence placed on Marcus Garvey but evolves into a literal challenge to the whole Negro race, not for hate of violence or empty words of threat but for the unifying solidly and crystallization of these
FEEL YOUNG, LOOK YOUNG AND BE YOUNG
Science Discovers New Home Formula For Quickly Restoring Vitality—Superior to Gland Treatments.
"Pep" is that quality, more needed for social and business success than any other. If you have noticed a premature slowing down in your nerve force—if you don't feel as young as you once did, you may realize a remarkable improvement in vitality through a wonderful scientific formula.
Many scientists were long ago convinced that lack of activity of several of the endocrine glands were responsible for Depth, Despondency, Restlessness at Night, Tired, Worn Out Feeling and other symptoms. Several of them risked their lives in searching for an Ellixi that would bring the benefits of gland treatments to every home. Finally, Africa they discovered an extract that seemsings produces wonderful results.
This extract is now prepared in convenient jabbit form in combination with other proven stimulants and may be taken easily anywhere, and any injections in animals and proved beneficial to many both young and old. It has been known to produce remarkable results within 24 hours, and is said to be far superior to gland treatment. Many thousands of users report splendid results, some saying they feel and look twenty years older. So confident are the Re-Nu Laboratories, distributors of this product under the name of Re-Nu Tape, that it will make you feel, look and act young, that they generously offer to send a large 3 treatment to anyone who will want it. Send Re-Nu Tape name and address, to Re-Nu Laboratories, 652 Cohn Cake Rd, Kansas City, Mo, and Re-Nu Tape will be emailed under this jabbit form. Pay premium only if problems. Use the treatment only and if your heart doesn't feel any regrets, are still satisfied, your money will be returned.
principles that mean so much for the advancement of the race as a whole, and not simply a few, manifesting that the face is awake, and knows what it needs, and that Marcus Garvey has declared the things every Negro needs, here and now, in America (North, South and Central, with the West Indies), and ultimately must have in Africa, whether we agreed with his methods or not.
Under God this cannot, be stopped, for, though Cato lies asleep) with the hosts, including H. M. Turner. God will raise souls after souls to accomplish His will. This is no time for despair or giving up, but to keep the eye of faith fixed upon Jehovah Almighty, who is able to deliver when we seek Him and obey Him. Now is the time for every race-loving Negro group, organization, church, community and individual who believe in the things Garvey declared: 1. racial consciousness and solidarity; 2. racial expansion and co-operation in industry; 3. racial identity as a nation in our homeland, Africa—yea, let all, each and everyone who thus believe, join in with the local U. N. I. A. convention of their neighborhood, and thus declare and show we are awake, and know what is ours, and that we want it.
I have heard many eminent men of the race declare privately, "We all want what Garvey says, if not the way he says it"; but private opinion will avail us nothing, as long as the enemy can keep us divided; for the old adage is true, "United we stand, divided we fall." Let every race-dominous Negro show a united front and manhood stand in this crucial moment, and the world will respect and give us more. Let us give the lie to their utterances and machinations by standing together in principle and, fact, for we need not fool ourselves that it is only Marcus Garvey that they are after, but realize it is to crush that spirit he teaches and fontes, and, if we do not learn to stand together, we will hang one after another. I have oft declared since 1908, "The sooner one million Negroes know their need and be ready to die for their cause the sooner will the other fourteen millions be free," and, thus, like Samson of old, greater happenings of victory in the supposed death or fall of the cause.
"Who is on the Negro's side? come ringing through the ages, up through the agony of slavery, through the bloody sweat, apid death cuts of our foreparents, all through the preacheries of a mock half-liberty. "Who is on the Negro's side? Let him now come forth." But the crenger, the twoplant, the vacillating, weak kneed, two-faced, double-dealing, timorous, hypocritical can never, and will not, answer this call, or stand up to this question. It takes full-blooded, red-blooded men to hark to the sound of this bugle call. Men with conviction, men with the necessary deep consideration, men who will confirm that which is them. Men with settled consciousness. Men with a sacred consciousness. Men with courage to sustain them. Men with a concession true and holy. Great God of heaven, give us men. Men with these seven qualities. Men who have a conviction and know what they want. Men who through sincere consideration know their unswerving decision. Men who have made confirmation of that knowledge by boldly declaring their stand. Men who have come to a conclusion clear and true. Men to whom the race-thought is a precious heart consciousness, and not mere lip-service. Men with courage calm and intrepid. Men whose devotion to the cause they love brings consecration to the death, if need be. Almighty God, give us men! Men, you who have read this, whether friend or foe to Garvey your personality, now is your time. Today is your day of salvation by declaration. Today if you have these qualities within you, vow to and covenant with the true and living God Almighty that freedom and liberty for the Negro shall not die for your aid. Answer to the Most High that you are on His side to assist in accomplishing His will for the Negro in America. See Isaiah 18:4-7; Ezek. 17:22; 23:24; Micah 5:6, 7, 8, 11, 12; "Who is on the Lord's side?" Who is in harmony with the divine plan for the Negro? For be it declared unto you that He is acquainted with all the anguish and sufferings of, the Negro peoples, and "In His wrath He smote us for a while in His abundant mercy He will deliver us." Who is on the Negro's side? Let him now stand up and come forth to the battle for life, liberty and happiness. A son of Justice,

SOUTH AFRICAN PHRASES DOCTRINS WHICH PROVES MARCUS GARVEY IS RIGHT IN HIS FIGHT FOR THE RACE
Dear Mr. Editor—Enclosed you will find an article from the Johannesburg Star concerning the native problem of South Africa, i. e., "Optional Negotiation. North of the Zambesi," by an ex-aggratizate of that city, by name of T. G. Macfie, in a speech delivered before the Seimert and Jeppe branch of the S. A. Labor Party, I trust, Mr. Editor, that you will find space for the publication of same in your valuable organ for the benefit of those of us who are still believing and also waiting for the other fellow's aid. Now, Mr. Editor, this is an eye-opener for the unbelieving Thomas, and here you are now that we have it from a member of the Caucasian race, who has gone so far as to put on the finishing touches on the Hon. Marcus Garvey's work so that all of us can fall into line and also assist to put his gigantic program over for the amelioration of the suffering millions of our race.
As one who stands 100 per cent for the U. N. I. A., since I have spread the doctrine in this remote part of the fatherland and have tried all of my utmost endeavors to preach the doctrine far and wide to one and all in that part of the South where the South African Boer is always at his best in the way of intolerance toward the Negro. Isn't this a grand warning to those of our brothers that are still clinging to the thin edge of the wedge? When we can get such plain facts from the other fellow, i.e. first, that the Negro is only a parasite on the white man's civilization; secondly, that there must be no equality between whites and blacks, and last but not least of it all, is that the Negro can remain and also reside in the white community only to be a servant and a helot without any political rights whatsoever.
But, Mr. Editor, why this optional segregation? Why in part and not the whole, that shows that the other fellow is still determined to keep us as chattels and slaves? Negregation will I am sure, make the Negro know himself. It soames to me that when the other fellow uses this phrase to some of the good-for-nothing Negroes it makes them think that they are and will be loosely the presence of the Almighty God. In erecting this bulwark of depression so as to suit his own selfish wants the New Negro has called a halt now and forever, and from now on he must strike out for his freedom, caring not what the cost may be, sacrificing all and everything so as to achieve and acquire the desired goal of our entire freedom and emancipation. Trusting that you will give this matter your undivided attention in the way of publication so that the entire universe of Negroes will have same for their benefit, when knowing from what sources the same have sprung from.
Your: for the cause.
F. H. HEADLEY.
President, Luderitz Division No. 294
Mr. T. G. Macfie's Solution
"The native question is essentially political, and, to my mind, substantially the only one in this country at present, or likely to be for some time to come. It is the question which has given rise to most trouble in South Africa, in fact most of the politics of South Africa during the past 145 years may be said to have arisen out of and centered round it."
Thus stated Mr. T. G. Macfie, execlib magistrate of Johannesburg, who last night, under the auspices of the Siemert and Jepppe branches of the S. A. Labor Party, delivered an address on the native question.
History, Mr. Macfee said, went to show that where there was a small section of one race in the heart of a very large population of a different race sooner or later the latter dealt very drastically with, the minority who professed to being the superior governing people. In his opinion the only salvation for the white population of this country was, in the long run, their being sufficiently enormous to maintain themselves in all circumstances, and that could not be done unless the basis of employment and of livelihood was, very broad indeed.
Welfare of White People
A more handful of whites in this country could not indefinitely hold in position if the teachings of history were to be accepted.
Referring to the principle enunciated in certain quarters that the white people were the trustees or guardians of the native, Mr. Macfee stated he had no hesitation in saying that the first and last thoughts of the white people should be the welfare of their own, and not that of the native races (Hear, hear).
Why had the Negro not developed civilization? The only answer was because he inherently was ingapable of developing a civilization anything akin to the European standard. Never in history had the Negro developed a civilization of his own, but he had shown signs of capability of absorption into another civilization that was of being a parasite on European civilization. They would find indications, in fact proof, of that in the United States, and to a minor extent in South Africa. The Privileged Class What was to be the ultimate end of this native problem? Was it to be equality between white and black, or the eventual absorption of the two races in one great human family? He did not think so. The white people would never tolerate a policy of that sort. Personally he did not believe in treating the native herdsly or unfairly.
The only solution of the problem was optional segregation for the natives, the white community the governor, and to some extent the privileged class. There must be no equality between white and black and the latter must have no share whatever in the government of the country. (Applause.) My all means let the natives develop their own state if they wanted. His solution of the difficulty was optional segregation north of the Zambesi. If a native wanted to remain in the white community let him do so. Let him be properly treated and remain as a servant or heltot without any political rights. If he did not like that he should be encouraged and assisted to go north of the Zambesi and found his own state of civilization there.
PHILADELPHIA, June 29.—That the organization known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association, brought into being and led by the Hon. Marcus Garvey for the last five years is now doomed to die because of his incarceration is the belief of the enemies of Negro freedom. These men who think in such terms are not fully aware of the principles of the movement in the first place, and the determination on the part of the members to see it through in the next. Then, again, we are dealing in this organization with a people born of a new thought and a determination such as was heretofore never displayed by the Negro race or any other race, for that matter. Read in The Negro World of the meetings held in Liberty Hall, New York city, from week to week, and form your own conclusion. Visit Philadelphia any Sunday, see and read the expression on the faces of the members watch them as they rally with their dollar, five, ten and in many cases twenty, fifty and one hundred, and ask yourself the question, Why? Because we are tired of being the sort, peon slave and underdog of the other races of the world. We believe that God created all men free and equal to dwell in peace and harmony on earth. We quote with our leader that we hate neither Jew nor Gentile, white nor black. This is no time to hate, but to work and to think; and so we are determined, come weal come woe, with God as our director, to go forward, respecting the laws of the various countries in which we live, but working toward the goal of African redemption until judgment day. Let it be understood that this is the determination of four million Negroes in all the branches of the organization throughout the globe. On Sunday, June 4, the Hon. Randolph Smith, titular leader of the West Indian Negroes, and Third Assistant President General, visited us in Philadelphia and spoke in the Nation Baptist Church. Twelfth street below Bambridge. As is the rule with this gentleman, he gave us of his best while increased interest and renewed courage, determination and confidence were the result.
"Now is the time," quotes Dr. Lionel A. Francis, one of the oldest presidents in the organization and president of our branch, "to show, @ the world, where you stand."
We contribute our little weekly articles for the benefit of all the world, but in particular for the benefit of the members and friends in Philadelphia. Since this is the case, let us at this time admonish the ambiguous youth of Philadelphia to watch and follow the footsteps of Marcus Garvey. See him suffer because of a principle. Know that any one who stands for anything will and must suffer something. Are you prepared to do likewise, or are you lusting after gold? If the former, honor, glory, respect and admiration are your reward for suffering. If the latter, God and man will forsake you after you have seemingly prospered for a while and finally failed, which you are bound to do. Success might be summoned up to mean service, devotion, determination and sacrifice.

PLEDGE WHOLEHEARTED SUPPORT TO GREAT LEADER AND THE CAUSE
Their Confidence Unshaken, They Show by Their Liberality, That They Will Not Falter Nor Faint, Nor Fail in the Fight for the Uplift of the Race
CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 29—After an absence of nearly a month, during which time he distinguished himself by his loyalty to the President-General in his great trouble, and took the stand as a witness in the historical court case which has just ended. Mr. William Warc, president of the Cincinnati Division, returned home to greet his anxiously waiting members who gathered in a general mass meeting last Wednesday night to hear his report on the trial of our honorable leader. A goodly crowd filled Liberty Hall and at 8 o'clock the meeting opened in the regular way with the first vice-president, Rev. Edward Grey, presiding. After short preliminaries the gavel was turned over to Mr. Warc, who arose amid the applause of those present. Mr. Warc spoke for well over an hour, relating in detail the story of the trial from start to finish. He told of the duplicity and the treachery of some who had been trusted, and in whom had been placed implicit confidence. He told also of the wonderful courage of Mr. Garvey during the whole affair, and of how he sent words of encouragement to all of the members in the various divisions throughout the country, imploring them to continue in their loyalty to the organization and stand by the principles of the cause despite all adversities and opposition.
The members received the message enthusiastically and plodged their continued support, moral and financial resources even of Mr. Garvey's meageration, if fate decreed that such should be. They were given occasion to prove the severity of their plight financially at least. Sunday afternoon, when they were called upon to contribute to the Defense Fund, which they did with a liberality which placed their loyalty beyond dispute. Also, their general demonstration was an enthusiastic as if Mr. Garvey himself had been in our midst.
So know all the world by this writing that the Cincinnati Division has not been affected by Mr. Garvey's trial for its outcome. The members have not lost heart, neither has their courage weakened. Men and women still continue to join our ranks from time to time and instead of falling off as some might expect, our numbers are decided.

THE IMPRESSIONS AND REFLEC-TIONS OF A JOURNALIST ON A RECENT JAUNT
The Philadelphia Division Staged Monster Mass Meeting—The A. M. E. Community Work—The Devon Picnic—The Quigley Town Invincibles vs. the Auto Car Giants—The Ride to Upper Roxbury—Dr. DuBois and Politics
Sy WILLIAM H: FERRIS, A. M.
Author of "The African Abroad"
On Sunday afternoon, July 1, as the car bearing me from the Pennsylvania station turned from Bainbridge into Twelfth street, I saw scores of people standing in front of the Stalem Baptist Church. I entered and saw the church packed from the pulpit to the outer door and even the galleries congested. The vast crowds on a Sunday afternoon testified to the spirit and morale of a division of which Dr. L. A. Francis is president, Mrs. C. Moore lady president and Miss Mazie King secretary. In the south of the gallery opposite the pulpit one gentleman was eloquently protesting against the efficiency of prayer: When he finished, another brother arose in the north corner and eloquently spoke of the power of prayer. Then a tall gentleman ascended the pulpit and expounded his views on the Bible and the new theology. I hardly knew whether I was in a prayer meeting or a U. N. L. A. meeting, but when Dr. L. A. Francis walked up the middle aisle, like a captain walking across the decks the master of all he surveys, the audience rose and gave him an ovation, and then I realized I was in a U. N. L. A. meeting and that Dr. Francis was at the helm.
Dr. Francis, the writer, and Hon. T. W. Anderson, the First Assistant Secretary General of the U. N. I. A. were the speakers for the afternoon. The writer spoke on "The U. N. I. A. as a Spiritual Movement." Mr. Anderson spoke of "Marcus Garvey as a Leader," and explained the petition in his behalf, but the real speech of the day was delivered by Dr. Francis, who held the audience spellout for nearly an hour, sprinkling his address with wit, wisdom and humor and flashes of eloquence. He said that he had been informed that secret service men were scattered about the audience. He welcomed all visitors to their meetings, but thought that Negroes could be better employed than telling tales about each other. However, he desired to assure the visitors that the U. N. I. A. was a fraternal organization, with an
their own education. It was a spiritual movement rather than a war camp. He further stated that he regarded America as a wonderful country, and that, the U. N. L. A. members were taught to respect and obey the laws of their adopted country. He hoped, however, that some day Marinus Gaye's dream of a redeemed Africa would be realized. The exigence with which the people came forward, not only with their quarters and half dollars but with their one, two five and ten-dollar bills, testified to the timeliness and effectiveness of Dr. Franklin remarks. He led off the collection by giving twenty dollars.
The U. N. I. A. Community Work
The next day I visited the A. M. E.
preachers' meeting at the Book Con-
cern building. I found Dr. M. B. B.
tanner, the manager of the Book Con-
cern, Dr. R. R. Wright, the editor of
the 'Christian Reconder', and Mrs. Eva
Johnson, who is in charge of the book
department, busy at their desks. Rev.
R. H. Shirley presided over the preach-
ers' meeting. Then Dr. J. M. Henderson
and Mrs. Griffen the daughter of
Dr. Massell, assembled the political
committee, which arranged a mass
meeting in the near future, at which a
loving cup will be presented to Hon.
Andrew F. Stevens for his work in rec-
curring the passage of an anti-religious
bill in the State Legislature.
Then Bishop W. H. Head took charge of the meeting and outlined the community work of the A. M. E. Church Committees were appointed to take care of the incoming migration of Negroes from the South, both as regards works, homes and recreation. A quarter of a million dollar department building to house the A. M. E. Book Concern, the A. M. E. "Review" the church extension and missionary departments will be constructed in the near future. The site for the building has already been purchased on South Nineteenth street, Philadelphia, Pa.
The Devon Picnic
I decided to spend the glorious Fourth of July in the country where I could enjoy the beauties of nature and cool refreshing breezes. After a pleasant ride to Devon, Pa. I was pulled into a country scene of savety and splendor. As the auto that carried me from the station turned into a highway, I saw a crazy church, a country churchyard and a beautiful grove in the distance. The laughter of the children and the sounds of merriment informed me that that was where the A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. J. E. Thomas is the successful pastor, was holding its annual picnic.
We passed by a score of autos parked by the roadside and then reached the grove. Several tables, each representing an auxiliary of the church, decorated with red, white and blue, were scattered on the spacious lawn. The children were romping or enjoying the autumn, and while I was partaking of the detainees of the season and incidentally enjoying the music that was furnished by the Union Baptist Band, of which Mr. Bunn was a prominent minister, they told me of the auto-purpose, which was led by a brace hand, supported by tricycle cups. The parade spread down Devon to Bury Hawr and proceeded. As R was the first time he entered people of that section
staged an auto parade, which was organized by Mrs. Lovie J. Thomas, it created a sensation along the entire route. Nearby forty gagly decorated automobiles participated in the parade. Bishop W. H. Heard was in the first car, which was followed by the car containing L. H. Ringgold, the presiding elder, and the car containing the trustees, followed. Mrs. L. I. Thomas, the wife of the pastor, and superintendent of the Young People's Department of Devon, presided over the plenice.
Dark, heavy clouds loomed ominously over the happy crowd, where young and old, boys and girls, tastefully dressed country lashes and their lusty sweethearts enjoyed the shade of the wide-spreading, trees and the refreshing breezes. The thunder rumbled, the lightning flashed in the distance. It was chain lightning, silver bright against the dark clouds, which dropped in a perpendicular line, so rapidly that the eye could scarcely follow it. It probably ripped and tore everything that it crashed against. But the storm passed by and the sun, the god of the day, soon shone in regal splendor.
The Thrilling Baseball Game
Then there was suddenly an uproar, shouts of "Hit It." "Hurrah for Quigley Town, etc." I asked what was the cause of the uproar. I was told that the Quigley Town Invincibles were playing the Auto Car Giants of Admore. I hurried to the baseball field and saw a sight long to be remembered and a game that I can never forget. Planked by trees on the south and west, the baseball field gradually sloped into a valley in which crops were growing and on a further slope a farm house stood. Fields which were beaded by thick clusters of trees, stretched away to the north and east. The top and tower of a mansion rose majestically in the distance. I was told that Wanamaker's daughter resided there, and I then turned my attention to the game.
The Quicksley Town Invincibles vs. the Auto Car Glants. The teams were well named. Tall and stalwart, in their gray uniforms, the Auto Car boys looked like glants, and the Quicksley Town boys were veritable Invincibles, for they hanged out two and three-base hits, knocked a pitcher out of the box and walloped the Auto Car Glants to the time of 25 to 10.
For six innings it was a hard-fought contest, characterized by hard hitting, good back-calling and brilliant fielding with the score of 4 to 6 in favor of the Quigley Town at the end of that period. Then in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, the Quigley Town boys out out out with hitting that justly gave them the name of "invinibles." They land out singles, doubles and triple in the seventh innings, pin up seven runs and knocked the pitcher out of the box. In the two remaining innings they scored nine runs of the new pitcher. Those brawny, muscular country boys, few of whom were bad in uniforms, swing at the ball with all of their might. Sometimes they struck out. But when they did connect with the ball they was a loud responding whistle, and the ball gagged swiftly along the ground or sailed in the air over the base of the fielders.
There were few pictureque figure on that diamond. There was the umbrella, a big powerful built block, fellow quiet received and low of speech, but been of eye, plank in movement, unmerging in his decision and cool headed. And there was the pitcher for the Aubrey-Car Giants, a tall black youth straight as an arrow, with the figure of Annie Foley edible. He took his time and threw the balls deliberately, measuring his distances. He usually threw a swift, straight ball, carrying it occasionally with an oat and in curve, except in the third and seventh innings. The Quigley Town Invincibles found him a hard pitcher to hit at first. His face was weathered in a pleasant smile, when he exhibited a perfect set of teeth, as he threw apparently without any effort balls that shot with amazing swiftness across the plate, and even when his arm gave out and he was batted out of the box, he laughed good naturally, and his golden smile never left his face. And then there was the little David, who pitched for the Quigley Town Invincibles. "What chance has that little lad," I thought, "against these big, brawny Ardmore boys."
But he had everything in a pitcher's repertoire. He had speed, curves, control of the ball, judge of distance, and puzzled the Glants for seven innings. And there was Ham Wright, the star batter for the Quigley Town Invitables. Nearly every time he came to the bat he lined out a two-hase hit. He was a brown-skin' had of medium height, slender of bird, but broad shouldered, lithe and sinewy, and supply of movement. He possessed an eagle eye and a pencil-up, nervous energy. As he stood at the plate, his eyes flashed and a smile played over his countenance as the pitcher drew back to throw the balls. As the balls neared the plate, his bat swung back and his muscles contracted. When he swung forward to meet the ball, he put the upward force of his powerful arms and shoulders into the swing. And when he met the ball, he put the full force of his powerful upper back muscles behind it. Then the ball throbbed or we

Everybody Must Subscribe Now to Test Whether the Black Man Can Obtain Justice
As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been found guilty by a jury of white men of using the United States mails to defraud. Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing. An appeal must be taken to the highest counts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund.

and he ran like a deer. When the due cleared away, he was sitting serenely on second base, and occasionally on third base.
The Trip to Upper Rexboro
Rev. Charles Sheppard, who has been superintendent of the Sunday School for thirty years, and his wife, Mrs. Celestine Sheppard, prepared the guest table, and entertained, at their own expense, sixty guests with a royal chicken dinner. The loyalty and unity of spirit manifested by the stewards and stewardesses. Junior, stewardesses, trustees, trusteesress, helpers, ushers, Christian Endyear and Sunday School were remarkable.
I was sorry to leave the shouting crowd at the baseball field and the happy throng in the beautiful grove; sorry to miss the mass meeting in the evening, where Mr. Josie D. Heard the talented wife of the bishop; Mrs Lovie F. Thomas and Rev. J. E. Thomas were scheduled to speak; where Miss Myrtle Thomas and Miss Hattie Wilson, the sweet soprano, who trained singers, sang solos, and where little Miss Miller recited from Dunbun. Miss Lucile Thomas, a school teacher from Washington, D.C. was also expected to deliver an address. But I wanted to get to another picnic party. I rode on the Pennsylvania road to Villa Novo, crossed a magnificent lawn, and passed three imposing stone buildings, while I was informed was a Catholic College, and boarded the Philadelphia and Western train for Norristown.
Soon I came to a scene which would have delighted the eye of an artist on the soul of a poet. The setting run glistened on the roof of a farm house which stood on the crest of a very long hill. It glowed on the green hill and touched with a mellow light the cows calmly grazing at the foot of the hill near a stream. A dense

flower on the north blocked the view further. The train sped on to Norrttown, which sits on the banks of the Schukillburt, but that peaceful scene haunted my mind. Then as daylight faded into twilight and twilight into night, I rode on the Reading road to Manayunk with the slow moving and calm river on my right, which grew darker and darker as the shades of evening approached. At Manayunk I took the trolley to Roxboro, where an Overland car took me to the spacious lawn of Mr. James Dennis, where young and old, city and country folk, participated in the local activities and witnessed the sky rockets in the distance. Attorney Hughes and wife of Washington, D.C. the guess of Mr. and Mrs. Short, who were visiting the city of Brotherly Love on their honey-moon, were among the distinguished guests.
Dr. DuBois and Politics
On my return to Philadelphia I found two things talked about: Dr. DuBois and politics. Dr. DuBois reversed form in a recent address in Philadelphia and, to the dismay of his hearers, and admitters, championed segregation and jim Crowism. The redeeming portion of his address was where he said that they could impress Garvey, but could not kill the spirit of the U. N. L. X. There is talk of an independent ticket to endeavor to nominate a colored candidate for mayor. Duckery, Dickerson, Wright and others have been mentioned and there may be an opportunity of Thomas Wallace to use his skill. Lawyers Lewis and Morris are forging to the front.
The annual plenic of the Philadelphia division at Maple Grove on Monday, July 30, will be of the spectacular outings of the season, when Germantown's "Happy Six Orchestra" will be in attendance from 2 to 11 o'clock p.m.

New Orleans Resident Talia of Wonderful Result Produced by a Recent Scientific Discovery
D. W. Wood, 60, of New Orleans, La., declares he has virtually been made poisoned again, by the recently discovered korex compound, which is pronounced invigorator and revitaliser. "It has brought me back to as good, healthy physical condition as I enjoyed at 35," he writes. "I am apparently as supple as at 25." "Good say he," he continues, "at 25,000 for what the compound has done for him."
The compound is a simple home treatment in tablet form. Absolutely harmless; yet the most powerful invigorator known—Acting directly upon power-uppers, power-uppers can benefit, it often produces amazing benefits in 24 to 36 hours. In nationwide tests, it has won the praises of thousands who suffered from nerve weakness, premature age and lack of vital force. Physicians say it is the only treatment that defy other treatments. Elderly people pronounce it a real "fountain of youth." Knowing that this news may seem "too good to be true," the distributors invite any person needing the compound to take it. It is a "fountain of joy," though for ordinary cases, with the understanding that it costs nothing if it fails. If you wish to try this guaranteed invigorator, write in strict confidence to the Melton Laboratories. 3117 Massachusetts Blvd. Kansas City, Mo. 64110. If you order $2, or simply send your name, without money, and pay the postman $2 and postage on delivery. In either case, if you report after one week that the korex compound has not given you satisfaction, the laboratories will refund $2; definitely. This offer is fully guaranteed, so nobody need hesitate about accepting it: -Adv.

Con todo el respeto que nos mercea la alta invididura que ostentifis para representar a vuestros gobiernos en la V Conferencea Panamericana, tenemos el honor de dirigiros el presente documento para exponer la situación especial en que se encuentra la República Dominicana, sometida al control militar y económico por el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos desde el 29 de Noviembre de 1916, fecha en que fue destruido, sin razón ni derecho, el Gobierno Constitucional de la República, presidido entonces por el ilustre ciudadano doctor Francisco Henriquez y Carvajal, porque se nego a aceptar un tratado vejaminoso para la soberanía nacional:
La Unión de los Elementos de la Raza es Nuestra Ambición, Irrespectible de Obstáculos y Oposiciones. Algunas Afea Mas y Una Nueva Historia Será Relatada. Alerta Con los Officiales Desleales de Nuestras Divisiones. Nuevo Intento de Desorganización de Parte de los Enemigos de Nuestro Magno Movimiento
En estos momentos de prueba para nuestra organización, a consecuencia del sacrificio impuesto sobre nuestro honorable presidente, por el hecho de asumirse la responsabilidad por el progreso y bienestar de nuestra grande y noble causa, nos alienta la demostración del espiritu de determinación de aquellos que se han compenetrado de la visión de servicios y sacrificios para beneficio de su propia raza. Somos etiópicos, pero esto no determina el que seamos menos que cualquier otro miembro de cualquier otra raza, en cuanto concierne a la lucha por una causa justificada.
Hace poco, que, el. Gobierno de Washington, pensando tal vez que su injuicio proceder con los puteblos débiles de América podía sembrar la descomfianza entre las naciones del Continente, decidió-buscar una solución para el caso dominicano; pero esta solución no satisface las aspiraciones de aquel país.
En el plan de evacuación suscrito en Washington el 30 de Junio de 1922, se reconoce el derecho de intervención, condenado por todos los principios y doctrinas de derecho internacional. El ocupante exige, como condición sine qua non para retirarse, que la República Dominicana debe reconocer y validar todas las ordenes ejecutivas promulgadas por el Gobierno Militar que hayan creado impuestos, establecido rentas, ordenado erogaciones o creado intereses de terceros, y además los reglamentos en vigor votados durante el periodo de la oepación, conforme se especifica en el aludido plan. Este plan fue suscrito en Washington por cuatro ciudadanos de Santo Domingo que se atribuyeron la representación del país sin que nadie les otorgara este poder.
Si sintieramos por un momento que algún miembro de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra o algún miembro conciente de la raza, perdiera toda esperanza por el hecho de la encalcelación temporal de nuestro honorable presidente, lamentariamos las circunstancias en nuestro esfuerzo por convencer a la humanidad en general, que el camino hacia la victoria es algo rudo y que si el oprimido debe ser emancipado, el mismo debe luchar por su propia libertad y por su propio progreso.
Tenemos entendido que los enemigos de esta magna organización tratan una vez mas, debido a las actuales circunstancias, de influenciar en ciertos de los presidentes y oficiales de las Divisiones en diferentes puntos del país, para que ellos ignoren las disposiciones del Cuerpo Directivo de la organización en Nueva York y se constituyan en pequeñas organizaciones locales e independientes, por medio de las cuales poder explotar al pueblo que las apoye. Recordemos el propósito por el cual nos hemos organizado universalmente. No ha sido con el objeto de patrocinar ambiciosos a costos de nuestros recursos, sino que unidos en un solo cuerpo, podamos realizar todo cuanto nos seria imposible adquirir individualmente.
Los firmantes del plan, titulados representativos por Washington, no son sino representativos del interes americano en Santo Domingo, anhelosos de gobernar reconocidos por la Casa Blanca, como apunteto nuestro primer internacionalista el doctor Américo Lugo.
La elección de un Presidente Provisional, que no es otra cosa que un ciego instrumento del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos para sancionar todos los actos ilegales consumados por el ocupante, fue hecha por los tales representativos, sin haber contado para nada con la aquiescencia del pueblo.
El Cuerpo Directivo de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra en su dirección se asemeja al gran gobierno federal de este país, al gobierno imperial de Gran Bretaña y a cualquier otro gobierno solidamente constituo. Todos los estados de la unión americana son subordinados del gobierno federal; todos los dominios ingleses son subordinados y leales al gobierno en Inglaterra. Del mismo modo, todas las Divisiones de esta prepotente organización distribuidas por el universo, son subordinadas y leales al Cuerpo Directivo en esta ciudad. Por consiguiente, cualquier presidente u oficial de cualquier Division, ya esté esta en Chicago, en Panamá ó en Santo Domingo, quienes pretendan hacer de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra un negocio, con el objeto de beneficiarse personalmente, los miembros de dicha Division estan en el deber de señalar a tales pretendientes la puerta de salida.
Entre los actos realizados por el Gobierno Militar que deben deconocerse y legitimarse, figuran dos empréstitos contratados con crecidos intereses en beneficio del capitalismo norteamericano. Uno de estos empréstitos fue celebrado en 1918 y otro en 1922.
El articulo tercero de la Convención Dominico-Americana del 7 de febrero de 1907, establece lo siguiente:
"Hasta que la Republica Dominicana no haya pagado, la totalidad de los gonos' del empréstito, su detuda pública no podra ser aumentada sino mediante un acuerdo previo entre el Gobierno Dominicano y los Estados Unidos."
De la unión y cooperación de trece pequeñas colonias, ciento cuarenta y siete años ha, surgió la nación mas poderosa del presente, los Estados Unidos de Norte America; de la unión y cooperación de trece individuos, cinco años ha, surgió también la organización universal más prepotente de la raza, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. No permitamos, por consiguiente, el que se destruya nuestra obra, cuya labor ha sido realizada a costas de grandes sinsabores y mayores sacrificios. Preservemos y defendamos nuestra solidaridad y en pocos años mas, veremos coronados con éxito nuestros esfuerzos por el adelanto general de la raza.
Comp se ve, era necesario el consentimiento de los dos Altas. Partes contratantes para realizar estos empresinitos y una de ellas habia desaparecido por un acto de fuerza de la otra que se tribuyó de por si la representación de las dos partes. La inversion de los fondos de esos empresinitos muches veces no se han podido justificar, como sucedió con el de 1918.
Las concesiones otorgadas por el Gobierno Militar para explotaciones agricolos, son ruinosas para el país. Por medios violentes se despojó los agricultores dominicanos, de sus tierras en beneficio de las enpresas norteamericanas.
El Cuerpo Directivo de la organización ha invertido millares de pesos y su honorable presidente ha sido ultimamente privado de su libertad, por constituir el gran número de Divisiones establecidas universalmente; con tal motivo todas y cada una de estas han cooperado, cooperan y cooperarán con el Cuerpo Directivo para mayor seguridad de nuestro éxito, sin haber prestado ni prestar actualmente atención alguna a la política malsana de aquellos que nos detestan.
El principal cómplice de Washington en la elaboración del plan de desocupación, el señor Francisco J. Peynado, uno de los titulados representativos, es el abogado de una poderosa empresa norteamericana que ha sido la que más beneficios ha obtenido con motivo de la expropriación de tierras laborables en Santo Domingo. Y resulta muy significativo el hecho de que ya la opinión señale al señor Peyando como el indiscutible futuro Presidente de la República.
Cuando se colocó la primera piedra de fundación de esta organización; cuando se vencian un gran número de dificultades y se experimentaban grandes sacrificios, los que actualmente intentan recoger el fruto de nuestra labor, se ocultaron en sus guardias para esperar el momento oportuno. Cansados ya de tanta espera, se han decidido salir al aire libre, infestándole cual avalancha epidémica; pero el espíritu determinado de nuestro elemento conciente, no ha de proporcionarles la oportunidad por ellos anhelada.
El pueblo dominicano, con su legitimo Presidente a la cabeza, el abnegado patriota, doctor Francisco Henrique y Carvajal, apoyado por una gran mayoría del país, ya habia indicado la unica formula acceptable para la reintegración de la Soberania Nacional: "Desocupación pura y simple", esto es, que el invasor se marchara tal como entro, sin imponer trabas ni cortapisas a la soberania de la República, convertida para siempre en un protectorado de los Estados Unidos por causa de la ambición de cuatro hombres desleales que, al traicionar a su patria pasando por cacismo de la Constitución y de las leyes de la República.
Consideramos un honor sufrir privaciones por una causa como la de nuestra organización, al pensar en la posibilidad y gloria de un futuro mas brillante, por medio de los survivios rendidos para beneficio de nuestra tan sufrida rida. Conservemos y fortifiquemos este espiritu; sialados pereceremos, unidos venceremos.

Sería que venestra queceden el nas desde la casa y que sustiren y a exporter la interpenable serie de atropelios, enoción y crimenes comunitados por el edificio invasor de la Baza de Undas durante la sesión larga años de intervención militar en Santo Domingo, porque todo estos hercos son bien conocida en la América y en todas partes. El eco de muestras protestas se dejo oír en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, nos vamos a permitir citar dos 6 trascas que han dejado imborrable recuerdo en nuestro país por la crueldad inaudita y la saña con que fueron realizados.
Es cierto que en nuestra agilita vida política presenciamos más de una vez sumarios fusilamientos, pero jamas supimos el tormento del agua, del hierro candente aplicado a las carnes, del tortor de la soja, mide haber arrastrado, atado a la cola de un caballo, en plenio dia, en la ciudad de Hato Mayor, a un anciano octogenario. Carta de Monseñor Adolfo A. Nouel, Arzobroso de Santo Domingo, al Senor W. W. Russell, Ministro de los Estados Unidos en Santo Domingo. (Publicada en el "Diario de la Marina" de la Habana, el 7 de Abril de 1920.)
Y hoy dia, exhibe su cuerpo multilado por toda la Republica, convertido en un Ecee Homo, para eterno baldón de los implacables y crueles dominadores, el ilífiz campesino dominicano Cayo Báez, a quien martirizaron con hierros al rojo para obligarle a delatar a sus compatriotas y cosas que ignoraba. "Sirva de prueba concluyente la siguiente carta en que Mr. Bryan, Secretario del Estado norteamericano, le pide a Mr. Vick, Receptor de las.Aduanas de Santo Domingo, le indique los puesto de que dispone en sus oficinas para premiar con ellos a sus correligionarios democratas que lo merezcan." He aqui la carta: "Mi querido Mr. Vick:
"Ahora que está Ud. en Santo Domingo y se ha familiarizado con la situación, epodía Ud. decime la puestos de que dispne para premier con ellos a los democratas que lo merezcan?
"Cada vez que Ud. necesite la indicación de un nombre para cualquier cargo, póngalo en mi conocimiento.
"Ud. tiene demasiada experiencia en la política para saber cuán valiosos son los que trabajan en ella, mientras se esta efectuando una campaña electoral y lo difícil que resulta encontrar luego premios adecuados para todos los que a ellos se hayan hecho acreditores. No se hasta donde sea necesario el conocimiento del idioma español para el desempeño de esos cargos. Digame las condiciones que se requieren, el sueldo que a cada puesto se señie y la fecha en que probablemente se hagan los nombramientos.
"Sullivan llegara antes de mucho tiempo; Ud. y el, unidos, pueden introducir reformas necesarias ahí. Encontrará en el hombre fuerte, valeroso y de confianza. Cuando más lo trajo más me convenio de que encajara en su puesto en esa, y de que hara lo que sea necesario hacer.

Todos estos datos constan en una investigación que mando a hacer el Senado de los Estados Unidos.
Los Estados Unidos han prometido retira- sus fuerzas de la Repu-blica Dominicana tan pronto como se de cumplimiento al plan. Pero se han retirado acaso de Haiti y Nicaragua a pesar de que no existe acuerdo previo alguno, que autorice la permanencia de fuerzas norteamericanas en cesos territorios? Han garantizado que dejarán de volver a intervenir en Santo Domingo?
El pueblo dominicano desconfia, con sobrado motivo, de las promesas de Washington, porque ya ha sido burlado muchas veces.
El 13 de Mayo de 1916, el Almirante W. B. Caperton, que se ha hecho famoso en los mares del Caribe como especialista en intervenciones, hizo las siguientes declaraciones al apoderarse de la Ciudad de Santo Domingo; y meses después se produjo la destrucción del Gobierno Constitucional:
"Esta ciudad ha sido ocupada militarmente por fuerzas norteamericanas. Al tomar esta decisión, tenemos el sincero propósito de garantizar una libre e imparcial actución, por las Cámaras para la elección de un nuevo Presidente de la República."
Lo que deseamos de parte de los ilustres Delegados al. V Congreso Panamericano, es que, inspirados en un verdadero sentimiento de solidaridad americana, se busque una solución eficaz para coartar y poner fin de una vez por todas, a la política imperialista de los Estados
Chihuahua, que el Pueblo de Chihuahua no es un pueblo de tierra, sino un vago, imprescindible que se encuentra, despeñándonos y que quisimos vivir algo que no sea lo que nos acaba a todos los pobres de la comunidad en que primo plano de gran importancia. Dos años como lo que baséjó el nombre Chihuahua Valiente en su monasterio discuro de la cobertura de la primera piedra para el monumento a Bolivar, al expresarse de este modo:
"Que venga, y que venga presto, esa Carta Magna de los poblados americanos en que se especifiquen los derechos y deberes de los Estados y de las naciones, para tener una unidad comin con que medirys y pesarmos. Preciosa y necesaria formula sin la ciel el panamericanismo valdrá como una música sin palabras, como una aspiración vaga que avanza tinidamente entre incertidumbres, por carencia de base juridica desde donde se dey, comparta a todos el derecho igualmente."
Hemos venido expresamente hasta Chile, en estos solennes momentos en que se encuentran reunidos los representantes más conspicuos de los pueblos de América, para dar a conocer la situación actual de la República Dominicana, con la esperanza de que el infortunio de nuestra patria encontrará simpatizadores en el seno del Congreso Panamericano, que consagren sus esfuerzos, inteligencia y buena voluntad para redimir a los pueblos oprimidos del Continent.

Brutalidad Intolerable
El alcalde Gaynor de Nuevo York, irritado por las continuas denuncias de apaleos de parte de la policía, puso fin a ese habito retirado los garrotes a los policías. El personal de esta se quejo de que se veia seriamente estorbado con esta privación, pero los apaleos no fueron ya posibles, ni volvieron a existencia hasta dos o tres años más tarde.
El apaleador policía es un carde natural, como lo es cualquier individuo culpable de brutalidad en el ejercicio de la autoridad. Su excusa invariable por haber agredido a la gente es que esta trataba de interponerse al llevar a cabo una aprehension. Sin embargo, jamás ha probado esta causación ninguno de los policías apaleadores.
Hace un año o más, Tighe, condenado por un acto especialmente evidente de agresión con una mala, fue enviado, a una penitenciaria a reflexionar sobre el valor del dominio de si mismo como activo de los funcionarios de policía. Aquello quito todo estimulo para las tácticas de esa clase por algún tiempo, pero recientemente ha sido rumpido de nuevo. En los ultimos días, otro agente ha sido condenado por apaleador, y otros individuos se hallan acusados del mismo delito, porque es un delito, indudablemente. Todos estos valentones deherían ser cuyados a acompañar a Tighe, y debiera dirse slea oportunidad para apalear grandes piedras con martillos peados durante algunos años.
Los individuos nitiles y encienden del departamento emplean su clubs solamente cuando son atacados por presos rebeldes. Ningún buen policía es bastante bandeado para golpear malhechores entregados o transmiten con macna.
Si los juces procesaram a cada aguete que presentara detenidos golpeados o heridos, los apaleses perdieron pronto su popularidad. Si no pueden encontrarse el medio de aplicar i otra energica medida, para desterrar la brutalidad, podria hacerse necesario que la legislatura prohibiese el empleo de las macanas por la policía.

Our high commissioner's subject was "Liberty and Freedom." He spoke for one hour and held the attention of his audience throughout his discourse. He gave his audience food for thought and awakened the interest of several who are not members, but who, after hearing Mr. Wallace, have promised faithfully to join with us in helping to plant the Red, Black and Green on the hillsides of Africa.

Master Fellow Prisoner
Says That India's New
Police Has Not Changed
Opinions
Mohandas K. Gandhi, "India's 'new Terrorist,'" has been in jail a little over a year. Conflicting reports have been circulated from time to time concerning his health, treatment and activities. An interview in the Indian newspaper Bharatraj, with Shankerlal Banker, who was arrested with Gandhi, and was for some time imprisoned with him, gives a vivid picture of the life now led by the man who originated and personally led and directed the "non-co-operation" policy which has caused England more concern for the stability of British government in India than any other movement.
Mr. Banker said they were "kindly and courteous" treated.
"We were given the food we asked for, he made. 'The doors of our cells were kept open.' It was necessary for Mahatma Gandhi, because of his life-long habit of sleeping out in the open, and for me because of my nerves. We were allowed an unlimited supply of books also from outside. Later, for reasons of health, we were both of us allowed lights and bedsteads, and recently Mahatma Gandhi has been allowed the use of a mosquito curtail because of the trouble of mosquitoes during the season. We had all the clothes and bedding we needed and we were given the choice. If we were so pleased, to have our bedding outside. We were allowed to do handspinning on our own wheels as a voluntary occupation. Mahatma Gandhi is keeping very good health.
"While in prison we heard that there were stories abridon of ill-health and melancholia. He was hurt to hear about this. He said he would feel ashamed if he suffered from melancholia. He further said that a civil resister who would feel moody if he has to go to prison has no business to court imprisonment or do anything that would bring it on him. . . .
"So much for the bright side of the picture. It has. I am sorry to say, a dark side, too. While animal comforts are well looked after, he is mentally starved. The allowance of books is no doubt a very great comfort, but necessary isolation imposed upon
Distantly after our admission to the Yeravada Prison, I was taken away from him. Mahatmajai pleaded that I was suffering from nerves and his company would help to soothe me; but all to no purpose. He has given a graphic description of this in his letter to Hakim Ajmal Khanji, and which the government would not send for that very reason. After about two months' separation I was sent back to him.
"While, heletofore, my being with him may perhaps have been soothing, the isolation from other prisoners remained and remains until this day. It is so utterly unnecessary. The other ordinary prisoners are not isolated unless they are bad chracters. Mahatma Gandhi, therefore, rightly regards this as an additional punishment—an attempt to make prison life as unbearable as possible.
Gandhi was lamented. Banker says at learning that the prisoners had been flogged for doing too little work. He wrote to the superintendent, offering "in the name of humanity," to speak to the men and persuade them to work to their full capacity. But the government refused the offer. Gandhi felt that the superintendent should have such wide powers. Banker says.
THE NEGRO VETERANS HOSPITAL AT TUSKEGEE
The Negro Veterans Government Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., has developed into a veritable storm center. The question at issue is whether a hospital built for Negroes shall be served by an entire Negro staff or by white people. The white South led by Governor Brandon of Alabama, State Senator Powell of Tuskegee, U. S. Senator Tom Heflin of Alabama, and the Ku Klux Klan say, Negroes shall not serve their own in this capacity, and as a result Director Walter Hines had to hurry, down to Tuskegee to face the opposition. Mr. Hines stopped qualifying men for the hospital to investigate, but he was also frank enough to state that he was surprised at the facility with which competent Negro doctors could be procured.
TUSKEGEE, Ala., July 4—Seven hundred members of the Ku Klux Klan marched through crowded Tuskegee streets last night in protest against placing Negro officials at the Government hospital here for disabled Negro veterans. Spokesmen for the merchants said they represented the settlement of $6,000 Klanmen throughout Alabama.
The Klanmen passed the famous Tuskegee Institute, established by Benjamin T. Washington, Negro leader, but now entered the grounds. While the Klanmen paraded, in the distance the fire of a fiery cross forty-five feet high, symbol of the Klan. Grandiose excitement was said

to have been named yesterday when John Calhoun Jr. first of the Negro personnel, arrived at the hospital Calhoun, however, left the city in the afternoon.
Tuskegee citizens are awaiting the visit of Director Hines of the War Veterans Bureau, who is expected July 17. Mr. Hines is quoted by Washington dispatchers as saying no further Negro personnel will be ordered here until after an investigation.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 6. While a committee of citizens was preparing a detailed outline of Tuskegee's wishes in the Negro veterans' hospital trouble, to be sent in Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau, the rest of Tuskegee was swaying between election over hopes of an early and satisfactory peace, and curiosity over Dr. R. K. Moton, president of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and Dr. Lewis Kennedy, for twenty years the Negro physician at the institute. Dr. Moton, it was reported, is expected to return soon from his "vacation," begin somewhat precipitately when Tuskegee citizens became aroused over persistent statements from Washington that a Negro personnel would be put in charge of the million-dollar Negro Veterans' Hospital.
Dr. Kennedy is reported "whereabouts unknown." His family is in North Carolina. He is reported to have said he wanted Negroes in full charge of the hospital. Dr. Moton has consistently stood for a white personnel in command and Tuskegee citizen are friendly to him. No one would say whether Dr. Kennedy would return or not.
The committee of three Tuskegee citizens in their report will ask that the personnel of the hospital consist of seventy-five white officials and employees and about 325 Negro employees. The report will ask for enough, white officials to insure control and no more members of the committee said.
A trustee of Tuskegee Institute, a banker and a State Senator, all of Tuskegee, compose the committee.
PARIS, July 8.—White United States naval gobs from the cruiser Pittsburgh jammed the ringside yelling "Come on white man." Battling Sikir, black Sepalee galeese savage, knocked out the heavy-weight Niles in the second round of a match schedule to go 15 rounds 6-day.
Experts criticized Niles for trying to get a knockout by hard slams at Sikir's brunette countenance instead of concentrating on Sikir's weak point—his stomach.
The African's ten-day dry training period offsee. Niles' science. Sikir could have won at any time. He 'ought a fast, driving battle, knocking Niles about the ring apparently without exerting himself.
The big crowd favored Nilles, especially the Pittsburg gobz, but their yells for the French paleface were unavailag. The white man hadn't the stuff to beat Sikl.
The fight demonstrated that it is not blute force alone which makes the black pre-eminent in Eurus's first game.
Sikl. undamaged, was at his boulevard haunts in the evening, amuing spectators by raining blows thick and fast on the neck of his new sparring partner—a kangaroo.
A pair of boxing gloves dangled from the paws of the abused animal, which was at an unfortunate disadvantage in not being able to hit back.
Tho kangaroo was dead, and stuffed.
Grinning widely, Sikl explained he had been so fond of the animal that when it died he stuffed it for use as a punching bag.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 6.—In this city, early scene of his labors, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, well known author, is a fallen idol.
Before a large, cultured and determined audience of progressive Race men and women assembled in Wesley church, Dr. DuBois came out flatfooted, for segregation and of Jim Crow.
"We have segregated hospitals, separate churches, Race lodges, insurance companies advertising racial identity, our own undertakers, and, finally, graveyards, where only our own blood is buried," declared the critic of Booker T. Washington, "and I, therefore, glory in separate schools."
The audience acted as if the fire department had warned the ice water hose upon it.
Dr. DuBois had been advertised to speak against segregation, and particularly against the effort to make the Cheyney school a Jim Crow retreat.
The speaker took the other route. One of his utterances that cold-watered his listeners was this: "Stop fighting Cheyney and Hill; let them alone. We must hang to segregation to save our Race."
Hill is principal of Cheyney, which citizens of the State claim is a Jim

Crow school, and which are opposing.
For an utterance less unpatriotic than that Booker T. Washington was read out of the society of respectable men by Dr. DuBois.
As the author went along his audience could so that his opposition to Booker T. Washington in the life time of the great leader was built on jealousy.
Dr. DuBois, who boasts of his Harvard degree, is really a product of Fisk university, class of '88.
"I am proud of Jim Crow schools," declared thy "champion," "because my daughter is a product of one."
Likewise Dr. DuBois, although he never owned, it until recently.
The speaker was handled without gloves and with large hands by J. Francis Lee, Rev. Wm. Lloyd Imes, Attorney G. Edward Dickerson, Dr. J. Wesley Bailey and Rhoda Tilton. Each speaker expressed surprise that Dr. DuBois, supposed champion of equal rights and identical opportunities for our children, could fall from grace with so much ease and self-satisfaction.
The audience refused to respond to the invitation to join the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the collection plate looked like a pouper's oath when the offering was called for.
His magazine, Editor DuBois said, is a segregated proposition, and will continue to be so.
Philadelphians might call in other noted leaders to sound the tocsin when big ideas are to be pressed, but it

THE FIGHT FOR
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The 4th of July contest for the world's heavyweight championship is now, a matter of history. Everybody concerned seemed to have lost something, and as the New York World expresses it, while everybody lost: "poetic justice scored a knockout against overcommercialized American pugilism, and scored it with a sock heard around the world."
It will be interesting to know whether Harry Wills, the Negro champion, will be given the chance to prove that the black man is as good as the man who vaunted his superiority in season and out of season. Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, says: "Harry Wills next. I want the Wills match for Labor Day. The public has wanted it for a long time. I see no reason why it cannot be held in New York or in New Jersey."
But, of course, nobody knows,better than Jack Kearns that because Harry Wilts' chances of scoring a knockout is so likely, particularly after the champion's poor showing against Gibbons, that both the New York and the
New Jersey constituents are more than likely to find services conditions in the bout.
