THE NEGRO AS A PART OF 20th CENTURY CIVILIZATION
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greetings:
The wonderful force of organization is today making itself felt in every branch of human effort. Whether in industry, society, politics or war it is the force of organization that tells; hence, I can advise no better step toward racial salvation than organization among us.
An Opposed Race.
We have been harassed, trampled upon and made little of because of our unfortunate condition of disorganization. The disorganization of our race for hundreds of years made us easy prey to those who sought profit out of human slavery, and with a similar disorganization we are bound to loose out in the great scramble of life for the survival of the fittest group.
Unlimited Racial Union
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a movement that seeks unlimited racial union and co-operation. We desire to draw black humanity closer together than we have been before for we realize that with East pulling against West, North pulling against South, there will be nothing left to us but utter ruin.
One Aim, One Destiny
We can well imagine ourselves as one great united people, having one aim, believing in one God and having one destiny. To see four hundred millions of us standing together as one man is the desire of those of us who lead the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Twentieth Century Materialism
It is true that twentieth century materialism has so scattered the interests of races and nations that the realization of human ideals become more remote, but we dare not sink or destroy holy principles because of the wantonness and soullessness of our age. Time cannot save itself; it is for us to save and redeem Time; hence, the work that lies before us is not to so much identify ourselves with the scattered purpose and greed of others, but to create for ourselves a central ideal and make our lives conform to it in the singling out of a racial life that shall know no end.
Only Disorganized Group
It is unfortunate that we should find ourselves at this time the only disorganized group. Others have had the advantage of organization for centuries, so what seems to them unnecessary from a racial point of view becomes necessary to us who have had to labor all along under the disadvantage of being scattered without a racial aim or purpose.
Aim and Purpose
No race or people can well survive without an aim or purpose. We must know beforehand the progress of our existence. Our racial program of today is a united, emancipated and improved people.
General Improvement Needed
We need improvement in every line-socially, religiously, industrially, educationally and politically. We need the caution of a common standard among ourselves that
HAS HIS OWN PART TO PLAY FOR HIS REDEMPTION AND ADVANCEMENT
SHOULD FOLLOW HIS OWN ADVICE GREAT PLEA FOR RACIAL UNION-PRAY FOR THE OVERTHROW OF THE UNJUST
RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL TRIUMPH OVER THE EVIL OF MEN-ETHIOPIA'S DAY IS YET TO COME WHEN ALL MEN WILL BE FREE
will fit us for companionship and equitable competition with others.
The world is not in the disposition to divide in the spoils of materialism, but on the contrary every group is seeking the aggrandizement of self at the expense of those who have lost or who ignore the trend of human effort in the direction of self-preservation.
Negro Must Go Forward
The Negro, surrounded as he is, has no other alternative than going forward in the atmosphere of racial self-interest, working for the generation of the present and providing for those of our posterity. In the service of race the Universal Negro Improvement Association finds its program, and for its advocacy or promotion we offer no apology.
Cannot Settle on Chance
It is foolish for us to believe that the world can settle itself on chance. It is for man and God to settle the world. God acts indifferently and His plan and purpose is generally worked out through the agency of human action. In His directed, inspired prophecy He promised that Ethiopia's day would come, not by the world changing towards us, but by our stretching out our hands unto Him. It doesn't mean the mere physical test, but the universal and independent effort to surround ourselves with the full glory of man.
No Apologies Needed
No human apologies are needed for the moving or going forward of any people, so none will expect that he will apologize for the efforts we are making to unite our race the world over, and the creating for ourselves of a political superstate wherein we will find the representative and protection that will make us secure in the selfish adjustment of a material world.
Go Ahead and Organize
Go ahead, Negroes, and organize yourselves! You are serving your race and guaranteeing to posterity of our own an existence which otherwise will be denied them. Ignore the traps of persuasion, advice and alien leadership. No one can be as true to you as you can to yourself. To suggest that there is no need for Negro racial organization in a well-planned and arranged civilization like that of the twentieth century is but to, by the game of deception, lay the trap for the destruction of a people whose knowledge of life is incomplete, owing to the misunderstanding of man's purpose in creation.
Vision of New Life
provement Association shall direct the course of the four hundred million members of our race, enemies from within and from without notwithstanding.
Campaign of Abuse
The campaign of abuse against your leaders and their imprisonment is but a part of the plan to harass and discourage you on the way towards destiny. But no soberminded Negro will allow himself to be fooled by the design of the wicked. The wicked we have always had and will ever have. The wicked and unjust have opposed reforms in every age and under all circumstances. They crucified a Christ and drove His apostles from pillar to post. They made by their wicked act martyrs of those who have lived and died for a principle and an idea; so let them go on. They, too, in this age shall drink the bitter dregs of sorrow and remorse, even as succeeding generations of those who crucified Christ and persecuted His disciples have become the cursed of the creatures of righteousness. Let your Pickenses, Du Boises, Weldon Johnsons, Bengalls and Whites, Randolphs and Owens sell themselves to the propaganda of the enemy who seeks to destroy our race! They, too, like the character of old, will find no use for the bits of silver.
Let us pray for our enemies,whosoever they be! Let us all-over the world pray daily for God's handling of our enemies! Pray hard and earnestly,at least twice a day,for God's dealing with our enemies. At twelve o'clock midday and twelve o'clock midnight let us in silent prayer for thirty seconds send up our supplications and appeal to God for the correction of those who oppose us even against His divine will that we should stretch our hands unto Him.
The Wicked and Unjust Shall Perish
Surely God will answer our prayers against the wicked and unjust and strengthen us for the great work that must be done in His name and to His glory. Remember, our duty is to be firm in the Faith. Do not falter or faint by the wayside, but let us with confidence in ourselves and our God go forth in the call for service to our race and to Ethiopia.
Glad to Suffer for Cause
Personally, I am glad to suffer for the cause. My contribution to the race and to Africa is small, but it is gladly given without any regrets. Some of us will contribute through our ability and our lives, others through service of other kind; but whatever it be, let us give it freely.
Support Organization
Rally to the colors of your organization. Support it morally and financially the best you can. Help those of us who lead to carry on the fight so that the enemy "shall not pass." Send your financial help to the parent body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, U. S. A. With best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be Your obedient servant.
UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. THE TOMBS PRISON, CENTRE STREET,
NEW YORK, July 17, 1923. P. S. I trust that all Divisions, Branches and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are making their regular monthly reports to the parent body.

THE INDISPENSABLE WEEKLY
Thousands thronged Liberty Hall, 120 West 183th Street, New York City, on Sunday afternoon, when a monster mass meeting was staged—the meek in a fortnight—to demand from the Government a grand jury investigation into the trial of Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the subsequent actions of the prosecutor in opposing bail. The demonstration was remarkable, giving further testimony of the increasing public sentiment for the release of the great leader—a sentiment which has become country wide.
William L. Sherrill, Asst. President-General of the U. N. I. A., presided. The chief speaker of the afternoon was Rev. W. H. Mosca, D. D., pastor of the New York National Baptist Church and Field Secretary of the National Baptist Convention. This gentleman, who since the conviction of Mr. Garvey he come out strong for the U. N. I. A. and its leader, delivered an able address, and at the close was given a great ovation. Other speakers were the chairman and Prof. D. E. Tobian, chairman of the delegation which visited Washington a week ago to present the petition in Mr. Garvey's behalf. The latter took the opportunity to read his official report of the delegation's activities. Immediately after the meeting the following telegrams to the President of the United States and to the Attorney General, which were unanimously adopted, were dispatched to Washington;

MR. BHERRILL'S ADDRESS
He said:
It is indeed encouraging to see gatherer together here this evening not only members of the association but citizens of New York, who come to make their little contribution to this meeting, which is asking for an investigation of Mr. Garvey's case by the appointment of a Federal Grand Jury. As I have said from time to time, we have many friends that we know not of on the outside of the organization. In fact, I do not think I would be far from the truth if I say that 80 per
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1923
cent. of the Negroes in America as well as in other parts of the world, in heart and soul, and sentiment and thought, are members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is encouraging to see the citizens of Harlem gathered here this evening from another viewpoint, and that is it demonstrates the fact that the Negro is beginning to know just a little bit of what it is to co-operate on a big issue. Now the time has come in the life of the Negro when he should assume unity, when he should pretend unity, if he has not got it in reality. Just about two weeks ago we gathered together here in this same place to protest Mr. Garvey's being held in prison without bail. Thousands of us signed a petition which went from_here to Washington. That petition was placed with the leading government officials. A day or two later you saw a notice in the paper that the Attorney General's Department would not interfere in the case. Many people came to me wanting to know what that meant. Some seemed much perturbed and disturbed, but before we left the city of New York we knew that much.
What Is Being Done
I want you to realize that those of us who are making a strenuous effort to get Mr. Garvey out on ball and also to get a rehearing of his case and see that he gets justice, come very near knowing what we are doing and the reason why we do it. Now, Mr. Garvey has employed four attorneys. One of these attorneys is in Washington, another in another part of this country and two in New York. Whenever we make a move you can always be sure we have got advice from expert authorities and that we have reason for making this or that move. And we are simply asking friends and members and sympathizers, who are anxious about this case, to co-operate. I say this because I learned last week that we have some experts, who happen not to have had expert training and whom nobody happens to be paying for their expert knowledge, telling the membership and those interested in Mr. Garvey and his case that this was wrong and that was wrong and they made a mistake in doing the other. I say this in order that you who are anxious about this case, you who are in earnest about this case, you who have been giving and sacrificing in order that Mr. Garvey may not suffer, that you may know every effort which is made on the part of Mr. Garvey's attorneys and those assisting the attorneys at this time is made after getting opinion of experts on the particular move. The right for Mr. Garvey has just begun. We are not going to stop until Mr. Garvey has got absolute justice at the hands of those who have persecuted him.
Position of the U. N. I. A. Defined
Now, If Marcus Garvey was a criminal, If Marcus Garvey was a thief, If Marcus Garvey had betrayed his people or had robbed his people, If Marcus Garvey had committed a crime against the Negro and his progress, nobody would be quicker to enter the persecution of Marcus Garvey than the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Voices: That is right.) For we do not condone crime. We do not encourage crime. We do not encourage theft nor robbery. But we who have given our money, we who put our money in the Black Star Line, we who put our money in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and who are still putting our money in and who have got another hundred dollars or another two hundred dollars to put in another Black Star Line tomorrow (loud and uprising applause)—we are not disturbed. (Cries of "No.") It is our money, it is our Black Star Line, and it is our Marcus Garvey (Deafening applause). And we are going to stay in the fight until Mr. Garvey has got justice. (Applause.)
Now the truth is that the minute Mr. Gervary launched out honestly to serve
"To the Negro People of Liberty Hall and of the World:
"Your insistence for justice on my behalf is very much appreciated by me.
"Whether your effort be successful or not will not disturb me in the conclusion I have reached.
"Our struggle for right and justice is eternal. So long as man through conceit and selfishness arrogates to himself the authority because he is strong, to abuse and trample upon the rights of his fellows, we will ever find cause for protest.
"The strong, through their unfair methods and practice of injustice will not always last. Their day and time will be numbered; so let us work and pray for the restoration of Ethiopia's glory, for in that time, and then only, will black men enjoy the full rights of liberty and justice.
"Keep up the spirit of service to Africa and to the race. Fight the good battle of organization to the end, and surely victory will crown our efforts.
"With deepest affection and best wishes,
"President-General. Universal Negro Improvement Association."
his people he became a thorn in somebody's flesh—in the flesh of selfish Negroes first. Negroes who had been asuming the role of leadership purely for the purpose of aggrandizement, Negroes who had been assuming the role of leadership simply to earn a livelihood; Negroes who had been assuming the role of leadership because they thought it was an opportunity to get some easy money. And when Mr. Garvey came on the scene, not entering and howing to petty politicians, not bending the knee to white masters, fearing no man, but looking the world in the face and fighting fearlessly for the cause of the black man and beginning to expose the trickery and villains of those Negroes, he became a thorn in their flesh, because they found out their days were numbered. Those Negroes at once started to weave around Mr. Garvey a net of criticism. They at once started to weave around Mr. Garvey a net of suspicion. They kept on until finally. I am afraid, they succeeded in using as a tool some of the officials of the United States Government to "get Marcus Garvey." He not only became a thorn in some Negroes' flesh, but he became a thorn in the flesh of England and France, because Garvey came forward preaching a gospel that no other Negro had dared preach. He came forward speaking in emphatic tones that 'no other Negro would dare speak in. He came forward compromising to no man and fearing no man, telling Negroes that they were created by the same God and had the same God given rights to take their places in this world as anybody else. He came forward telling Negroes that white folks have America, that white folks have Asia, that white folks have Europe, that white folks are taking Australia and they are taking India, that they are trying to take Egypt, and the time has come for black men to unite everywhere, whether in America or in Africa, and prepare to take Africa. (Applause.)
Why did that disturb England and France? Because it is possible. This disturbed England and France because England and France know that if Mr Garvey succeeded in uniting the Negroes here in America, that if Mr Garvey succeeded in harnessing the intellectual and financial strength of the American Negro, if Mr. Garvey succeeded in getting his propaganda to the Africans, that the African Negro would rise up and take the continent for himself. (Applause.) Therefore Mr. Garvey was a thorn in their flesh and had to be gotten out of the way. It mattered not whether the means were fair or foul, Marcus Garvey must be gotten out of the way. And what did they do? In their first attempt to get Mr. Garvey out of the way, they tried to keep him out of the country. This effort to "get Garvey" did not start with the Black Star Line. It started before. It started as soon as Marcus Garvey started preaching the gospel of freedom and independence to the Negro. And the first attempt made to "get Garvey" was to keep him out of the country. He went on a trip to the West Indies and was to have been gone six weeks, and they succeeded in keeping him out six months, and they had hoped never to allow him to come back. But God was with him. God moved in some mysterious way and in a book. But they had to get Mr. Garvey, and they kept on.
And then they trumped up charges against him, brought Mr. Garvey to
trial and attempted to brand Mr. Garvey as a thief and a robber.
Unfairly Treated.
Now we do not believe that Mr. Garvey has been treated fair in this recent trial. We do not believe that Mr. Garvey got justice in this trial, and we believe that something else entered into Mr. Garvey's conviction outside of law. All through Mr. Garvey's trial you can see injustice and bias and prejudice bulging out at every instance. We are not charging the United States Government with being a party to any frame-up against Mr. Garvey, for to be tralk with you we believe not only that the United States Government is above stooping to such low depths, but we believe that the United States Government has little or no interest in Mr. Garvey's taking Africa. We do not think there is anything to cause the United States Government to be a party to the conviction, because Mr. Garvey is preaching Africa for the Africans, and America has no territory there. But we do believe that British money and French money were behind certain persons who were getting Mr. Garvey.
Now these are some of the things we do not understand, and these are some of the things that we are asking the Attorney-General and the President to investigate. We have called this meeting to ask you to adopt a telegram asking Attorney-General Daugherty and the President of the United States to appoint a Federal Grand Jury to investigate Mr. Mattuck's action in the recent trial. (Loud applause). I am going to read these two telegrams; after which I shall entertain a motion and these telegrams will be sent tonight to the Attorney-General and to the President asking for this appointment of a Federal Grand Jury to investigate into the trial of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the methods. The telegrams were then read. Rev. G. E. Carter, Vice-President of the New York local, moved the adoption of the telegrams as read.
Hon. Robert L. Poston seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. The chairman then called upon Mrs. Amy Jacqus-Garvey to read Mr. Garvey's message to the meeting from the Tombe Prison. The reading was received with rapturous applause. The message is printed on the head of the report. "God Bless Our President" was then fervently sung, after which a collar-
MARCUS GARVEY'S ONLY CRIME WAS TO SERVE A RACE THAT KNOWS HOW TO SUFFER, AND WHO HAS BORNE ITS SUFFERINGS IN SILENCE AND WITH PATIENCE, KNOWING THAT THE TIME MUST COME WHEN THEY WILL OBTAIN WHAT IS NOW UNFAIRLY AND UNJUSTLY HELD BACK FROM THEM, WHEN RIGHT WILL WIN ITS OWN

SPECIAL PARENT BODY NOTICE TO ALL DIVISIONS AND CHAPTERS EVERYWHERE
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.

DR. MOSES' MOVING ADDRESS
Dr. Moses spoke as follows:
Mr. Chairman, Sisters and Brothers: I am one of that large group of sympathizers with this organization who has not become an active member. It is my privilege, in addition to being a pastor in the city of New York, to be

OUR THANKS TO THE CHURCHES
LAST Sunday was Marcus Garvey's day in several churches in land and around Harlem. Among the worthy divines who volunteered their services and their pulpits to the cause were the following: Rev. J. R. White of the Universal Spiritualist Church, 206 West 138th street, New York City, who spoke at length on the incarceration of Marcus Garvey as a means to an end, even as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was the means of redeeming the world of mankind. Rev. Mr. White took us far afield and brought out the thought that Marcus Garvey is the true Napoleon of his day, only wielding a greater influence and for greater good; but, unlike Napoleon, Marcus Garvey is bound to conquer, because his cause is a righteous one, a cause that has for its object the conquering of prejudice, oppression and wrong for the Negro peoples of the world.
He called upon his members to hold up the principles of the association, which were thoroughly explained by Percival L. Burrows, second assistant secretary-general of the association, who was invited to his church for that purpose.
The Rev. W. W. Brown of the Metropolitan Baptist Church gave a lengthy address encouraging his members to assist in doing all they possibly can for the cause. Mr. Brown has always been with us, and we believe he is one of Marcus Garvey's best friends and supporters.
The Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., pastor of the New York National Baptist Church, opened his church all day to render every assistance to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leader. In his masterful oration, a full report of which appeared in last week's Negro World, he furnished pabulum for thought for many a year to come.
The Rev. W. Y. Bell of the Williams Institutional A. M. E. Church, 218 West 130th street, also preached a stimulating sermon on the injustice of curtailing "the liberty of any man illegally."
The officers and members throughout the world owe much to these gentlemen, and shall ever be grateful for the manifestation of good will and co-operation shown at this time when we need them so much. It is self-evident that when men of the standing of Dr. W. H. Moses, field secretary of the great National Baptist Convention; Rev. Dr. W. W. Brown of the Metropolitan Baptist Church of New York, who has been looked upon for years as the father of the African Baptist Missionaries, and the Rev. J. R. White of the Universal Spiritualist Church, who is a member of the New York State Board of Managers of the Universal Spiritualist Church, leaders who represent large numbers of Negroes throughout the country, stand by us at this time, we are on the right track, for all of them, we believe, are true patriots and are real friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leader.
There were a number of other churches whose pastors from their pulpits expressed the general feeling that the denial of bail to Marcus Garvey was the curtailment of the constitutional rights of the individual, contrary to the letter and spirit of the fundamental principles of this great democracy. We take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation and gratitude to all these leaders of our race for their manly, outspoken, courageous references. We regard it as a true sign of the times and feel satisfied that the seed sown by the Universal Negro Improvement Association has taken root and is bringing forth fruit abundantly. We again express, on behalf of the head of this organization and its officers and members, our sincere thanks for their registration of sympathy and assistance.
THE MEANING OF NEGRO MIGRATION
As we welcome the coming of our Southern brothers North, we wish to direct their attention and that of all serious minded and intelligent Negroes to the deeper meaning of the migration. On the surface it would appear that the Southern whites disapproved of this influx on the Negro North, when the fact is they are pleased and have a hand in this affair.
To the Negro this coming North means freedom, the chance to be a man; the opportunity for his sons to grow up as plants in their youth and their daughters as cornerstones polished after the similitude of a palace; a chance to earn a respectable living wage. To the Southern and Northern white it means that, plus much more. It is an important part of his gigantic plan, the plan that was materializing before and brought to a sudden stop by the great war.
The war is now over. The Negro has contributed his full share of money, devotion and blood. He has now become the "menace" he was before the war. So the scheme is revived, revised and placed into operation. The plan is so intelligently formulated, so adroitly executed, that it requires more than ordinary intelligence to penetrate it.
This influx is but the result of an organized effort to distribute the Negro throughout the country, thus making him less dangerous and more easily divided. By rushing him into crowded cities and more insanitary and poorer conditions, he will be more easily destroyed. He, in his effort to keep-from being destroyed, will destroy himself. The more damaging part of the scheme is to so place him economically that he will either starve or move. But where will he go?
In the islands and other parts of the world where there is no "jimicrowism," but where positions and other things requisite to life are contingent upon money, the whites see to it that money is kept
from the blacks thereby achieving their destiny object. In America this is not done except in the Southland, but a more deadly and certain scheme is pursued. The press is the instrument. Flaming headlines and ingenious editorials flourish, designed to draw the white public's attention to the fact that the black "menace" is upon them. To the casual reader this is not true, but to the interested and concerned student the scheme is apparent. Why designate labor as "Negro laborer"? Labor is but labor, and laborers are but laborers, whether white or black. But the fact of this designation "Negro laborer" is but further proof of the scheme. It is but emphasized evidence that the white man means for the Negro to know this is a "white man's country."
The other part of the scheme is to displace the blacks with white foreigners, Scandinavians and northern Europeans, making sure a white South. Crowd him out in the South, starve him, freeze him out in the North. What then will be his fate?
This great peril is upon us. What are the so called Negro uplift movements doing to warn and save the rate from it? The N. A. A. C. P. is doing naught but drafting Negro intelligence for the exploitation of the whites, tying it hand and foot. The other Negro "paper organizations" are now idle, since they "got" Garvey and unified the U. N. I. A.
Only the U. N. I. A. has the courage to point out the danger, and the way out of it. Only the U. N. I. A. warns Negroes to flee from the wrath to come. Only Marcus Garvey dares to give due warning, in answer to the troubled cry of suffering Negroes. "Watchman, what of the night!" Black men, the day is not far distant when the test will be on between those who have and those who have not. And "To him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken away, even that which he seemeth to have."
THE VALUE OF AN IDEA
THE intrinsic value of an idea, is its singleness of aim. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has but one aim, and that is the ultimate redemption of Africa. And this calls for continued co-operation, concentration, and co-ordination; it is then our duty as members of this organization to so imbibe that thought, that everything we say or do, is said or done for the purpose of putting into prosecution this one great aim—this idea.
Many may criticize, but how many of these critics can measure the real value of an idea? Its vast immensity is almost beyond the comprehension of the philosopher. Can a few pigmies of barren thought attempt then to solve questions which perplex master minds? On the other hand, its seemingly insignificant minuteness baffles the power of imagination, and often can hardly even be valued at that stage by its own genius.
Let us take a deep breath and just imagine an idea starting, on think of the bud of the tiny acorn developing at last into a powerful and mighty oak. In that little acorn one would hardly hope to find such power, beauty, and grandeur as its finished product, the sturdy oak. Yet we find it so. Or let us consider a tiny spark falling among some rubbish accumulated for a long time. Very soon you will see a confagration destroying every vestige of that rubbish, leaving behind only the ashes as a menace to health and comfort; and all caused by a tiny spark. The acorn is the embryo of the mighty oak, and the tiny spark the beginning of a big confagration.
Then, as ideas are the embryos or beginnings of great things, so they are also the infinitesimal essentials to progress. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied co-operations and auxiliaries sprung from the idea of Marcus Garvey, and, as we are his followers, we are a part and parcel of this program, the building of a nation, the ultimate redemption of Africa. We must therefore hold fast to that which we have, and work! work! work! For without work nothing good or desirable can be accomplished.
Be progressive, therefore, even as he is progressive. And why is he progressive? Because he is burning all the rubbish accumulated for generations, all the ideas of the obsolete Negro, and substituting them with new thoughts, new ideas, and new determinations with new purposes, which has for their motto. One God! One aim! One destiny! Which motto is determined to open up the storehouses of opportunity to the new Negro all over the world. To blaze the way for new possibilities that will make the old "Uncle Tom" Negro gasp for breath, not only in America, but the wide world over. Some people fail in the prosecution of their plans because they never count the cost, and because they lack a definite purpose, and where there is no definite purpose it is an easy matter to turn such a one aside, but not so with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have a definite purpose in view, born of the idea of Marcus Garvey. And whether he is in prison or out we are determined to carry on at all costs. Let us hold this purpose ever before us as true followers of a real man.
THE ST. LOUIS INCIDENT
PRESIDENT HARDING spoke to the citizens of St. Louis. Mo., a few days ago. The meeting was held in a large public auditorium. Naturally white and black citizens rushed there to hear the chief executive of the world's greatest democracy talk on matters of state. The whites could sit where they chose. The blacks must sit where they were told or not sit at all. The section "reserved" for them was the peanut roost. Yet the blacks were as much citizens as the whites. Also black votes helped to elect Mr. Harding. But according to the manner in which they provided seats for the blacks to hear the President, one would think he is president for the whites only. And judging from his official actions as to Negroes, one is inclined to this belief.
Democracy, as practiced in America towards the Negro, is a farce. It is to the eternal discredit of the whites, who splutter and hurrah about "the land of the free and the home of the brave." The Negro is not counted of value by the whites, unless he can be used to further their schemes of glory. No government can long survive which so violates both word and spirit of its Constitution. St. Louis contains many thousands of Negro voters. Will they avenge this insult? Will they stand for this blot to remain and breed other blots most foul? What will the black voters of St. Louis do about this? Judging from the past they will do nothing. Nothing. "Only that and nothing more."
Instead of taking their full measure of vengeance at the polls, they will gladly swallow the affront of sight of a few glittering shekels. The so-called Negro politician will barter the rights of his people for the promise of a second-rate job; he will sell their souls for a paltry purse. "Tis true, 'tis pity. But pity, 'tis true."
War time, nothing is too good for the blacks. Election time, he is welcome to enter the "Holy of Holies." But soofn "the shouting and the tumult dies, the captains and the kings depart." His services are no longer needed. He is persecuted, robbed and cast aside.
It is time Negroes learned some sense: The whites like us as individuals, but as a race, they love us as the devil is alleged to love holy water.
Just as well face the matter like men. Unless the Negro stops vacillating, he is going to find himself in the middle of a bad fix. Corrupt and ignorant leaders must be repudiated and cast aside. We
have followed them long. Any Negro leader charged and located by whites is a dangerous leader for Negroes. The old black hand, bringing politician is responsible for all of our political and general illa. This type of leader is responsible for the condition in St. Louis, which makes it possible for Jim Crowism and segregation to bed and blossom there.
Proper use of the all-powerful ballot will kill this evil. And it should be killed. What is St. Louis going to do?
THE MADNESS OF PICKENS
IT is a sad picture to see William Pickens of the N. A. A. C. P. running through the country rejoicing at the conviction of Marcus Garvey. When mankind everywhere are deploring this travesty on justice, it is at least expected that those who worked so indefatigably to bring about his conviction would be quiet. But the activity of the dean at this time goes to prove that he is actuated by something other than a desire to serve his race.
Why the rejoicing? There have been many business failures before and many convictions because of them. There will still be many more. Why, therefore, this unusual jollification? Why this persecution of Marcus Garvey, this ill-timed rejoicing?
The answer to this question will explain the whole of the plight of Marcus Garvey. It will explain the failure of the Black Star Line and his conviction on, to put it mildly, prejudiced testimony. Pickens and the N. A. A. C. P. can well afford to go on a holiday, for, they feel that they have removed what they have been striving to remove for four years—the greatest enemy to their vacillating and weak-kneed policies in America. Pickens and the N. A. A. C. P. feel now that they have a clear field to exploit the Negro to their hearts' delight, and no strong voice will be lifted in warning.
But what fools some mortals be! Has this man so forgotten his history, as not to know that Garvey in prison will be stronger than Garvey out? Has he not already seen the handwriting on the wall, or heard the voice of the people? With Marcus Garvey in prison, the N. A. A. C. P. will not live five years. It will scarcely live ten with him out. The masses are awake, and the masses will be heard. Woe unto that bunch of self-appointed parasites who live, by exploiting the misfortunes of the race!
The conviction of Marcus Garvey has opened the eyes of the Negro in this country to a real menace within the race, a menace which, unless stopped, will result in its sure destruction.
Men of the Pickens type should be pitied rather than censured. They have been thoroughly educated in the business of race exploitation. In many instances they actually think they are right. And that is the pity of it.
Why is Pickens so busy in the press these days trying to show that the jury which convicted Mr. Garvey was right? Why a defense of the jury? Is he afraid that the Negro public has not accepted the verdict as just? If Garvey is the guilty party he says he is, and a jury of "white" men have so decreed, why must he go around explaining the actions of the jury? Does it not appear that this man and the bunch he is associated with are just a little afraid that the searchlight of public opinion is about to be thrown on them, and that they will be discovered as Garvey's betrayers?
Somebody's conscience is bothering him. Like murder, evil will out. Pickens is divulging the secrets. He is too explanatory. He is afraid to trust the people with what they know. But what difference does this make, so long as the people know and decide? Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Pickens is certainly acting queer.
BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN
The situation at Tuskegee is grow required the signing of the pay rolling more complicated and serious and supporting the constitution.
The situation at Tuskegee is growing more complicated and serious and, as I stated in a previous article to this paper, the white men who are after the jobs down there are going to get them or there will be no hospital at Tuskegee.
Someone recently remarked to me in discussing the aftermath of the Garvey trial, and the difficulty which is being encountered in obtaining bail for him, that "Garvey is the Composite Negro, who is being exploited to show the rest of us what we may expect" when we buck the white man clothed with a little authority. The bigger the Negro the greater his humiliation once he gets into the tolls of the law. To humble and degrade him in the eyes of the public, and if possible to break his spirit and crush his ambition, is their chief aim and purpose." And it really looks that way—to a man up a tree with a spy glass.
All this brave talk about sending troops to protect Tuskegee is piffle. About the worst thing the government could do would be to comply with such a demand made by infuriated colored citizens of the North, who are long distance fighters and who feel outraged by the action of the whites of Tuskegee in demanding the right to boss the job in an institution set apart exclusively for the use and benefit of Negroes in a Jim Crow State. The sending of troops to enforce the government's criminal plans will be throwing fat into the fire, and in the final analysis it will be found that Tuskegee, and the Negroes of Tuskegee generally, will be the greatest sufferers. Tuskegee has long been an eyesore to the whites of the town, and has merely been tolerated because the Yankees have been pouring their money into the town for years, which finds circulation among the poor whites, who do business of one sort or another with the school. At heart they do not "cutten" to the idea that the Negro shall have the exclusive control and disbursement of any government appropriation made for the benefit of Tuskegee or any of its auxiliaries, and these white Tuskegeeans are going to insist and will succeed by their assistance in securing control of this hospital if there is to be a hospital at Tuskegee. The administration at Washington will do nothing serious to prevent them from accomplishing what they have set out to accomplish, and the Negroes of the country at large will, as usual, find themselves as important as they always are in such emergencies, because they have no organization sufficiently powerful to enforce any demands they may make on the administration in power. Nobody is afraid of us, because our only weapon is perforved hot air.
The dependence of the Negro upon the favor of the white man is one of the causes of his troubles in matters such as that at Tuskeguee; we take much for granted and rely too implicitly on what the law says—what the Constitution guarantees, etc., etc. forgetting that the law and the Constitution are the creations of white men and that they can interpret both to suit themselves. We have had no part in the making of the laws by which we are governed and we have no power to bring about the enforcement of any law, which seems favorable to us. Laws cannot enforce themselves.
The citizenship of which we boast is merely a privilege granted by the sufficiency of the white man. Ours is a restricted citizenship and whenever the white man desires to nullify it he can do so. He has already, done it in the South and it is only a question of years when it may also be done in the North and other portions of the country. No man can be said to be a full citizen of any country whose rights of citizenship are abridged or denied him—who has not the same freedom of action and of speech to appeal to. For almost if not quite sixty years, the "Negro citizen" has been whining and begging for a liberal interpretation and an honest enforcement of the war amendments. His wishes have not been granted and there is now no fair prospect that they will ever be. For white men are more and more coming to see the danger in the scheme of the framer of the war amendments to make the black man in this country an equal citizen with the white man. When this happens, if ever, the problem will have been solved.
The first time the Count of Monte Cristo scored the triumphantly expanded his cheat and cried, "One." Mr. John William Smith, who was elected alderman at the last local election and was deprived of his seat for some inscrutable reason, has at last scored. He has won, "One." And the Hon. George W. Harris, who has basked in the limelight and "topped" the honors since the election, retires to resume his work as editor, and to plan for the combat, which may never come back. The whirligig of time plays some awful glances with those who get in its way. It must be a great relief to Mr. Harris, however, to be freed from the stresses duties which are entailed upon an alderman in a big city like New York, and especially that part of them which
I have often said it, and I again repeat it, that in the present state of the white public mind, if the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments were now before Congress for passage, in that body they could not be enacted as law, for white public opinion on the Negro question has undergone a complete metamorphosis. The tendency now is to obey the Negro politically, on if he is so-
FOE OF COLOR LINE PUBLISHED TO STUDY LAW AT HARVARD
HARVARD, Va.—Roscoe Campbell Bryan, who was his fight for admiration of his son, in the Harvard Carmichael despite the objections raised by President Lowell, has resigned as head of the colored schools of McDowell county, West Virginia, and is making preparations to enter the Harvard Law School, Father and son, thereafter, will attend Harvard at the same time. Mr. Bruce's wife will simultaneously enter the law department of the Boston University.
With the Bruce family residing in Boston or Cambridge, there is little likelihood of young Bruce having to stay in the college dormitories.
It was due to Roscoe Conkling Bruce's scholarly letters taking issue with President Lowell on the propriety of accepting young Bruce in the freshman's dormitories, precipitating a discussion of nation-wide interest, that the Board of Overseers voted unanimously not to draw any color line, upholding Mr. Bruce's contention:
Rosscoe Coulking Bruce is the son of Blanche K. Bruce, deceased, who was at one time United States Senator from Mississippi. His mother died recently. She was so highly pleased with the praiseworthy manner in which her son conducted himself in the controversy with President Lowell she expressed the wish shortly before her death that he would give the rest of his life to law and letters. Ample provisions were left to enable Mr. Bruce to carry out his mother's request.
lowed to vote in the States where his strength is most potent, he would be able to come into his own. Hence, when the South disfranchises him the North winks at it, and the nation spends millions of dollars to enforce the Eighteenth amendment, which belongs to the same class legislation as the war amendments.
The way it used to be done was about as follows: The campaign is waging, hot and the political strategists have gone, over the reports received from workers in all of the States and have decided the approximate number of votes likely to be cast for the candidate. The Irish vote, the Italian vote, the "100 per cent, American" vote, the Jewish vote and the scattering vote all seem to be safe. "By George, Senator, we've overlooked the darky vote." Oh, that's safe enough, Colonel. I've got a darky who will take care of that. Hes my barber, and a very popular man among his people." "Well, we'd better send for him at once, for we haven't many days left before election, and he'll have to get busy and keep busy herding the lambs." "All right, tell George to call up 9874 Hamilton and tell William Jackson to call at once at Republican headquarters, Senator Rawlinson's room."
In fifteen minutes William Jackson all out of breath, is seated in the anteroom of Senator Rawlinson's office. Presently he is announced, and the Senator in a loud voice directs the messenger to show Mr. Jackson in. Mr. Jackson still somewhat frustrated enters and is greeted cordially and familiarly by the Senator and introduced to the Colonel as my friend and one of the most capable and intelligent colored men, in Baskerville. "Gad to meet you, Mr. Jackson. The Senator has been telling a great many nice things about you. He thinks very highly of you and, say, you must be a crackerjack of a politician when Bill Rawlinson indoles you so highly." Mr. Jackson is slightly stumped for an appropriate reply, but finally stammer: "The Senator and I have known each other for some years, and what he says about me he would hardly say unless he believed it. I know some things about politics and I always try to play the game to win."
"Ah! that what's I want 16 hear you say," chipped in the Colonel. "Always do your damnedest to win when you enter the game. Now, the Senator and I want you to get into harness immediately and get out among your people and whoop it up for the candidates on the national and State tickets, especially the State ticket.
"You know all the influential men of your race, especially the preachers and other professionals, so we are going to fix you up with some strong letters of indulgence and send you on a roving mission through the principal cities of the State to organize the colored voters. How long will it take you to arrange your business affairs? We want you to get out of town by Saturday." "Let's see! Today in Tuesday," said Jackson. "I can fix up matters by Friday noon, Colonel." "Very well, then; you leave here Saturday morning or noon, yes? All right, agreed. Senator, call in the press representatives, and introduce them to Mr. Jackson." The representative of the Press and of the two local morning papers come in and are introduced to Mr. Jackson, who, having regained his composure, feels like a sure enough leader, and talks volubly to the press on the duty of the Negro in the present crisis and his debt of gratitude to the G. O. P. etc. The next day's papers contain a column article about Jackson, his sensible views on the political situation, his wise advice to his race. Senator Rawlinson's high opinion of his moral and public worth and his rare political judgment, etc. This settles Jackson's future, and from that hour he became the leader of the Negroes of the State. As he emerged from the Senator's office he carried a smile on his face and ten one hundred dollar bills in his inside pocket into the outer air, and proceeded on his journey to future political greatness in full knowledge that those who requested him to dance would pay the fiddler. Such were our leaders created. But the process has undergone some change and the method is different now. It will be noted when the next great political campaign is staged.

WE ARE UNITING TO STAY UNITED SAYS PHILADELPHIA DIVISION, WHICH IS THE FEELING OF EVERY DIVISION
The Spirit of Standing Solidly Together and Making the U. N. I. A. Greater and More Vigorous Than Ever Has Been Fanned Into Flame as a Result of Marcus Garvey's Incarceration
The case of the Government against Marcus Garvey has reached its climax so far as the average person can see, because Garvey is sentenced by "the powers that be" to serve time in jail for no other reason than that he served his race to the beat of his ability. For five years this man has preached a doctrine of self help amongst his people, raising their thoughts to the light of a government of Negroes, for Negroes, by Negroes, in their God-given homeland Africa; and that, second to none but equal to any, they, too, might take their place in the sun of civilization and progress alongside the other races and nations of the world. Men and women of thought were well aware as was the Hon. Marquis Garvey that such a step vigorously put over by the Universal Negro Improvement Association would stir the wrath of selfish man, and that no stone would be left unturned to crush it. Philadelphia Division is only one of many declaring to the world at this time that though many Marcus Garvey go to jail the rest of the 400,000,000 Negroes will be Marcus Garvey in their turn until our aim is reached. Strike the "Shepherd and scatter the sheep" is dead with the New Negro, who substitutes "Take the leader and we get another"; but we are uniting to stay united. Ireland is today nearer her goal than she was 70 years ago. The suffering and death of MacSwiney is largely responsible for that. India has denied her overlord and is no worse for it, but Gandhi had to pay the penalty.
Negroes the world over, from Philadelphia, Pa., U. S. A., we admonish you at this time to take fresh courage and gird your loins, because the journey has just begun. There must be no tiring or fainting by the wayside. Now is the time to prove to the world that your declarations of five years ago are still older, and will must be carried out. This will be done by the memory sticking, which we know they will, but we need and want reinforcements; since we will all share the good or bad together as a race, let every red-blooded Negro join hand and heart with the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time.
Still Going Strong Under the Leadership of Dr. Lionel A. Francis
On Sunday, July 1, at the Salmba
Baptist Church, on Twelfth street be-
low Bainbridge, was gathered a large
and enthusiastic crowd of the mem-
bera and friends of the Philadelphia
Division of the Universal Negro Impro-
vement Association. The purpose
was to show to the world that with
this movement there is no sleeping on
the job when the destiny of a race is
at stake. We regret the persecution
and prosecution of our leader or lea-
ers; but we are united to stay unifo-
and whether men come or whether
men go, our determination is that the
struggle for racial freedom must go
on until our goal is reached. The
personality and individuality of our pres-
ident, Dr. Francis have won for him a
place in the hearts of the people of
this city, and it is safe to say that
few Negroes understand and can handle
a group of Negroes better than Dr.
Francis. We are inclined to attune
this special quality to the fact that
not only is he a trained gentleman,
but that he has traveled and studied
in Europe the art of diplomacy.
A message from the President General was read, after which an opportunity was given to the members to contribute to the President General's
Vim, Vigor and Vitality In "African Bark"
Scientist Produces an Invigorator Superior to Gland Treatments—Wonderful Power of a Bark From Africa
Have you lost your youth, vigor and "pop"? Does life seem dull and work a grind? Don't worry. Science has produced a new formula said to be superior even to the much discussed gland treatments. Many men and women now vigor and easily regain lost limb vigor and vitality in the privacy of their homes.
The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be a most remarkable ingredient. Collect it are other efficient tonic and vitalizing elements of proved merit. In many cases the compound produces marked improvement in 24 hours. In a short time the condition improved and the glow of health is felt in every part.
The laboratories producing this new vitiliger, which is called Re-Bild-Tabs, are so confident of its power that they are for only $1 and guarantee to refund the money if the remedy fails to give results in the week. An investment of this paper may test the treatment without risk, and no money, but just your name and address to the Re-Bild Laboratories. $28 Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo., and a man named Mr. Bailen be nailed. OR delivery, pay. The person only $1 and postage. If not delighted with the results, notify the laboratories and your money will be extended in fall. Do not hesitate about making this offer, as it is fully guaranteed.
Release Fund. This was done without reluctance and in large amounts. Prof. Ferris was then introduced, and in ten minutes had contributed in philosophy and general knowledge food enough for the hungry souls of those present. The statement with which he closed his worthy lecture, bringing the audience to its feet in shouts of approval, was: "Marcus Garvey has brought the Negro an awakened consciousness of his own possibilities." A petition addressed to His Excellency Warren G. Harding was read, and, oh how they rushed, each wanting to be first to sign. Immediately after this Mr. Thomas W. Anderson, second assistant secretary general, well known here as the hero of New Orleans, was introduced. To those who know this gentleman little need be said of his oratorical prowess. He kept his audience spellbound from start to finish as he pictured a future worthy of sacrifice to any Negro. The meeting was brought to a close in the usual manner, with the singing of the Ethiopian, anthem, etc. REPORTER.
AN EXPRESSION OF FAITH
FROM AN OVERSEAS BRANCH
Kindly convey to the President-General through your medium the united sentiments and sympathy of thousands of eager, anxious hearts domiciled in the Republics of Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, after impatiently watching the trial on which evenhanded justice has been hanging in the balance. The result has been a verdict of "gulty." The sponsoring of an ideal is among the greatest tasks that any man could undertake. Whatatever that task has been the seemingly impregnable barriers have been removed by the unselfish efforts of the great souls of the ages, bringing victory and crowning the work with success. Such deeds and accomplishments have seldom benefited the authors and founders but served as a source of inspiration to future generations.
Such is the U. N. I. A. Its illustrious founder has been placed before the public bar of justice; so was Christ for Christianity. Though He was promised to mankind by the Creator Himself as the atonement, and although Judge Pilate exclaimed: "I find no fault in Him" the chief priests, who were the jurors, cried out: "Crucify Him; we will not accept Barabas, for if thou le this man go, thou art not one of Caesar's friends."
Amen: "so let it be." Truth must suffer in this stern world. It ever has been so, and ever will be so. We as Christians must realize nothing happens in this world without divine permission. The earth rests in His hands, and as we perceive it to be a world without end, so the happenings are in keeping with His will, and the golden pages of time alone must circumvent and record.
The, characteristics of our noble leader have been manifested broadcast, and those who have met him and dealt with him have been thunderstruck with the gift of knowledge, understanding with reasoning, oratory and logic he possesses, but more than these are the wonderful superhuman efforts which lies behind a purified and untainted soul. A revelation of divine attributes diversified in a specific human being. The world marvels at the sight, but more so at the oratory of Marcus Garvay, and, like the Queen of Shoba, who said: "The half was never told," each and everyone that met him has said: "He is some man."
We leave him to divine protection, whether it be behind the prison bars or on the scaffold. Nine-tenths of Negroes in Central America will continue to pool their cents and dollars, backed up with unceasing prayers for his liberation. But the foundation stone he has laid for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and African Communities' League, for Negro uplift and Africa's redemption, will be carried on determinedly and unfinchingly into eternity.
All divisions, branches and chapters the world over will continue to work and strive more zealously for the cause.
Remaining ever fraternally yours.
CHARLES H. BRYANT.
Commissioner for Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, U. N. I. A. and A. C. L.
THE SAME FEELING
PERMEATES EVERY DIVISION
Dear Mr. Editor--Permit me space in your most valuable paper. The Negro World, to say a few words for the officers and members of Newwaterford Chapter No. 24 of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L.
We have been reading, for the past few weeks in The Negro World about the case of the United States Government against our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey...the "Moses" of the day. We read where he is found guilty by the jury on one count out of twelve in the indictment in which he was charged, and was sentenced to five years imprisonment and fined $1,000.
It is now up to the 400,000,000 Magnets of this race of men to stick by our header to the last and show the enemy that the U. N. I. A. and C. L. is not a bread and better movement, but a movement for the liberation of black people the world over socially, politically, industrially, educationally and economically. We, the officers and members of the above mentioned chapter, are willing at any time, if need be, to die for a free and redeemed Africa. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob is the same God. And he is the God of 400,000,000 sons and daughters of the seeds of Ham. He will bring us out more than conquerors. He is not sleeping. He is wide awake.
Thanking you for your space, we are, yours for better upliftment, officers and members of Newwaterford. God bless Marcus Garvey; long may he live.
OSCAR E. PARRIS,
General Secretary.
LA AFRICA BRANCH,
COSTA RICA, SAYS U. N.
I. A. SPIRITUAL POWER
CANNOT BE CRUSHED
Although the above-named branch occasionally appears in the mouthpiece of this great organization, being, unseen for a length of time it may appear as if she is not existing for the future benefit of our race and the redemption of our fatherland Africa. The La Africa branch is still moving under the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which is guided by the tutelage of the Mon. Marcus Garvey. In spite of many jealous hindrances, with misrepresentation of private enemy to reduce the members to a low percentage, yet occasionally new members are added to the ranks of the faithful, and determine ones which cannot be handled with false representation of private enemy, but prepare to stand for the aim, object and motio of this grand movement for 400,000,000 Negroes, a movement which should be highly appreciated for the work which it undertakes for their benefit, a work which no other organization can put over. As we observe the aim of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it should make every Negro become ambitious to work for a universal emancipation, credited to liberty, freedom, and a government for over protection the world over.
We observe again, the working of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is like a silent power. We see the many conspiracies, laid to hinder the progress of this work, which seeks the right for all Negroes.
We see many plans laid to overthrow the founder and leader of this grand movement, and many other plans, which are well known, and in spite of all this we see the U. N. I. A. still standing, which surprises the dominant powers of the world. This makes us believe that the U. N. I. A. is guided by the hand of God. We thank God that He has blessed the race with a leader in the person of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. We ask all branches to take due consideration, and commend him into the hands of God, who is wise and just, to lead, teach, protect, and guide him to plan ahead, to be a power for good, using his talent in such a way that it will lead to success for the redeeming of our old home land. Africa. We extend our appreciation to all associating officers of the parent body. We wish them God's grace, that their good work may be recorded in history with our faithful leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to be read with pride.
We ask the Parent Body to continue to communicate with us, as it is quite refreshing. W. B. LEWIS.
TORONTO RALLIES TO THE DEFENCE OF PRESIDENT GENERAL
TORONTO RALLIES TO THE DEFENCE OF PRESIDENT GENERAL
Sunday, June 24, was a red letter day for our division. It has inspired the faithful members and friends with a new determination to fight on for the race as never before until Africa is truly free. The meeting was called at 4 p.m. by our worthy president, Mr. Carter. The opening ode was sung, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain." The president called upon Chaplain Dr. Meyers to offer a special prayer for our worthy leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey. The message of the front page of the Negro World was read, and after a little comment on it by the President, Mr. Grant was called upon to act as master of ceremonies for the remainder of the evening. A few appropriate piano selections followed by a solo from Mr. Trotman, accompanied by Mrs. Coulson. This selection made a deep impression on the present. Mr. Escio stirred the house to a high pitch, of enthusiasm with his eloquent remarks of Hon. Marcus Garvey and U. N. I. A. Our President, Mr. Carter, read a telegram received Saturday, June 23, asking to raise defense funds. Mr. Alleyny, secretary, asked permission to say a few words in behalf of defense fund, and in a moment started a drive with one dollar. Mr. Clark, a young marson contractor, came forward with $10, putting a little life, in the drive, and in three minutes we had $46. Lady President Mrs. Fox made a few remarks on loyalty to the association. The meeting came to a close with the singing of the "national anthem, "Ethiopia, Thou land of Our Fathers." E.

Greetings:--Fellow constituents and co-workers in this great cause, just a few words by way of encouragement. The time has really come when every one of us are called upon to steady our nerves, our wills and our courage. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is on trial for its very existence. Our great leader is facing the storm that has burst with all the fury which it has gathered for the onslaught for the past two years, but he is facing the enemies with the same courage and determination. he has manifested from the very beginning of the great emancipating effort of which he gave birth.
I can assure you that as far as the American field is concerned the officers and members of every department and unit are behind the president general and his cause, solidly, to a man. The association never stood firm than it does today, never was more determined than it is now. It is really going through a refining test. The enemies on the outside did not leave a stone unturned to assist in convicting him, traitors and mercenaries on the inside along with mendicant organizations were lined up, prepared to thrust upon us their wills, should we show the slightest signs of weakening. But let me inform you that I am confident that the teachings imparted to you by me as one of his disciples, if lived up to by you will be productive of good results, therefore, as an interested party in your success, even as you have been interested in mine, and the organization when with you, this. I believe, you still with the many friends of the association are manifesting.
I call upon you at this time to stand firm, gird on the armor of the eight principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as your weapons of defense and the triumphant motto of the organization, the golden tripod of Ethiopia: The truth, the light and liberty! One God, one aim, one destiny! The Red, the Black and

SIQUIRRES DIV. GETS RID OF TRAITORS
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Dear Sir—Kindly publish the following:
The Squirrels Division No. 36 of the U. N. I. A. has again lifted its head and promise to bid fair to any other division in Costa Rica, thanks, to the united efforts of men in the persons Messrs. Smith, Jarrett, Petgrave, Thorpe and Stewart, the Inventive Five. All traitors have been thrown out of office and the air has become charged with freedom, justice and progress. We of this division are determined that the past maladministration and insincerity shall not be allowed to be repeated, as we are inducing into office men and women who have been tried, passed through the fire; men whose souls are in unison with the "universal mind," men who know their destiny and that of their suffering race. We are moving on to victory and no smooth-tongued rascal, even though he may be aspiring to be a preacher to dead souls, will be allowed to turn us from our goal—the complete redemption of, first, our people from ignorance and the reclaiming of our fatherland Africa. We are entering upon a new phase of events and in unison with other oppressed people we are determined to blast a way to victory or to death.
I am, respectfully yours,

SUNDAY NIGHT MERTING AT PORT LIMON DIVIL, NO. 1, 18
On Sunday night, May 27, the religious service at Littany Hall will be attended by priests and members of the organization, despite the evil influences which are predisposing among our people at this sanctuary. This goes to show that the New Negro is gradually rebalancing what the organization stands out bollily for. The religious part of the service was conducted by Mr. J. L. Barnes, an employee of our commercial store. After reading from the ritual, Mr. Barnes spoke emphatically on restitution. The land of Africa must be for the Africans, and we must look toward that fertile land as the Jews are now looking toward Palestine.
Mrs. Maud Laird next gave an interesting solo entitled, "There Is a Hand Held Out in Fily" accompanied by Miss Britton at the piano. This brought the religious service to a close.
Mr. Felix Thompson next read the President-General's message from the Negro World.
The President, Mr. Daniel F. Roberts, in his opening remarks, said, in part, that the New Negro should realize that he must follow the principles of the organization and give it his moral-and financial support, helping it out of the difficulties which now confront it.
Next a solo entitled "Abide With Me," by Miss Isabella Tulloch, a Black Cross nurse.
Mrs. Emerene Duncan, recently from Panama, was the next speaker, and took for her subject "Faith in Ourselfness." Her address was both instructive and inspiring.
Mr. I. S. Hart, first vice-president, also delivered a stirring address in which he congratulated the members on the united front they were presenting to the world. "Nothing," he said, "can kill the U. N. I. A., which was here to stay. Even if the Presti-

El Pueblo Filipino Se Opone
a la Política de Wood
SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL
por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la
Rama Negra
54-56 Oeste, Calle 185,
Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y.
PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor
Informes cablagráficos públicos por el comité de prensa filipino, anuncian un conflicto que acaba de iniciarse entre el general Wood, gobernador general de las Filipinas, y los funcionarios nativos, de aquel gobierno.
El mensaje recibido anuncia que el presidente del senado, Don Manuel Quezón y el presidente de la camara han presentado al pueblo su caso contra la política que el general Wood se esfuerza por imponer en archipelígrafo. Tal política, en cuanto se refiere a las controversia, se limita a la cession del Banco Nacional y a los centrales azucareros controlados por el gobierno insular. El general Wood y los leaders filipinos han asumido posiciones diametralmente opuestas en la cuestion del banco nacional y los centrales azucareros. El gobierno desea clausurar el banco nacional y vender los centrales a empresas privadas. El presidente Quezón en un discuro declaró que si el gobierno general insista en cerrar el banco filipino, la legislatura abriría otro.
Lugar que Occupamos en la Historia de la Humanidad—Determinación Para la Constitución de Una Nación Propia—El Precio de Dirección es Muy Elevado, los Verdaderos Hombres No le Temen—Lo que Orohs Háyan Adquirido Por Medio de Perseverancia, Podemos También Nosotros Obtener—Los que se Rinden en la Batalla de la Vida Cavan Su Propia Sepultura—Concentremos un Solo Pensamiento
Hemos llegado al punto que determina el derrotero del destino de nuestra raza en el cual los justos y crédulos continuarán adelante y sin interrupción. En la estructura de la historia humana hemos tenido crédulos e incrédulos; en la presente generación, mientras colocamos los cimientos por el éxito, progreso y prosperidad de nuestro futuro, debemos contar con los cambios y diferencias que se desarrollen en nuestras actividades, al trasladarnos de un estado o condición a otro.
En otro discurso el presidente dijo que el gobernador es reconocidamente poderoso, pero que si alguna vez ignora o ataca la ley Jones, el apoyo cordial que le dan actualmente los leaders filinipes le será retirado.
Indiscutiblemente, no hemos llegado aún a la concentración absoluta de un solo pensamiento. El ingresar en la unión es una condición grandemente por nosotros anhelada, pero la dificultad en la época contemporanea estriba en obtener el que todo nuestro elemento piense y actué de acuerdo con las circunstancias. La labor de nuestra organización esta basada en la unión de todos los pueblos negros del universo, para crear y defender su propia independencia nacional.
Hablando de la cuestion de los centrales azucareros, el presidente Rojas, de la camara, afirmó que su opisión a la venta no proceed del deseo de impedir la inversión de capital arricicano, que sabe ha, de servir de instrumento para el desenvolimiento económico de las Filipinas, sino que se debe al hecho de que el capital que trata de emplearse en el archiélago putede servir de instrumento para matar para siempre las aspicaciones nacionales de los filipinos. Agregó además que la política resulta del gobierno no era la de realizar los centrales.
Hace pocos dias se celebró en este país el aniversario de su independencia; muchos años ha existió un hombre con una imaginación preclara, llamado Jorge Washington, quien greo en su mente el ideal de una gran nación. Para él tal ideal era realizable, pero aquellos a su alrededor dudaban de la posibilidad de tal visión, conceptuándola como un sueno irrealizable. Con fé y determinación en sí mismo, y con la fé y determinación de aquellos que en él creyeron, Washington luchó por su ideal; la independencia absoluta de su queblo.
El president Quezon no ha tocado directamente la cuestión de las compañías explotadoras de caucho. Pero hablando de las propuestas concesiones para facilitar la adquisición de grandes extensiones de terreno para empresas commerciales, afirmó que la política de los jefes filipinos es reservar esos terrenos no sólo para las generaciones presentes, sino también para las futuras.
Hoy dia, después de un lapso de ciento cuarenta y siete años, nos conglomeramos bajo la influencia protectora de una de las naciones mas poderosas del mundo. El éxito de la libertad y de la nacionalidad de este país fue obtenido, no por medio de aquellos con muy poca o ninguna fé quienes volvieron sus espaldas al ideal, sino por medio de la perseverancia y entereza de caracter de aquellos que lucharon hasta el fin.
La referencia al caucho es mirada como de gran importancia aqui, en vista de hacer experiencias con plantaciones de caucho de las Filipinas para independizar a los Estados Unidos del monopolio dominio por los ingleses del caucho. El congreso en su ultima sesión consigno $500;000 para investigaciones por el departamento de comercio para determinar si, entre otros productos, podria o no producir satisfactoriamente en las Filipinas y en otros territorios sometidos a los Estados Unidos del caucho.
Los pueblos Negros del universo por conducto de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, tratan de realizar por Africa lo que Jorge Washington y los primitivos padres de la libertad realizaron por esta porción de Norte America. En la lucha por tal adquisición, Washington y sus adeptos afrontaron y vencieron un considerable número de dificultades, sin perde un solo átomo de su determinación por los contratiempos experimentados. Tales acontecimientos concuerdan con nuestros esfuerzos por el adelanto y prosperidad de nuestro pueblo.
Con el general Wood en creciente oposición con los leaders filipinos y el governor de Puerto Rico. Mr. Towner, fiscalizado por los nativos, es probable que en la proxima legislatura haya una iniciativa de parte de los miembros del comité pro-independencia para lograr una investigación de la situación en Filipinas y en Puerto Rico.
En la revisión de la historia de otras naciones y de otras razas, no debemos pasar por desapercibidos los sacrificios de sus grandes hombres y directores. Recordemos por un momento los centenares de reformistas secluidos en prisiones y los millares de directores privados del derecho a la vida por demandar. la emancipación de su pueblo. Todos los pueblos y todas las razas tienen su historia que relatar. Afortunadamente, hemos ganado gran espacio de terreno en el camino hacia la emancipación de nuestro pueblo, sin grandes sacrificios por nuestra parte.
Augurio Satisfactorio Sobre el Reconocimiento
La conferencia para el reconocimiento de Méjico Jace tales progresos que se cree el acuerdo será un hecho denteno de pocos días. Casi todos los diarios de Méjico declaran que los conisionados han llegado a un acuerdo y que la labor por completar se refiere solo a detalles del plan convenido.
Algunos de los que ingresan en el seno de esta organización con la intención de dirijir, lo conceptuan como un medio lucrativo, del mismo modo que lo hace el desocupado en la agencia de colocaciones, conformándose con el primer puesto ofrecido, siendo tal actitud, a nuestro entender, un grave error. Los grandes movimientos de reforma, no son conducidos de ese modo; estos no son agencias de trabajo, sino el templo donde han de prestarse servicios a la humanidad. En él no debe existir el precio ni la condición; debe ser considerado como un deber de amor y sacrificios. Cuando nuestros directores se compenetren de este deber, entonces y solamente entonces podremos contar con una raza de verdaderos hombres, preparada para cualquier crisis.
El delegado Warren, de la comisión norteamericana ha declarado, sin embargo, que este anuncio es prematuro.
No hay duda, no obstante, que Méjico está ansioso de ponerse de acuerdo con la opinión de los delegados norteamericanos, lo cual es probable que tenga lugar dentro de poco. Después de esto, los delegados se pondrán de acuerdo sobre las dos convenciones sobre reclamaiones.
La primera de estas versára sobre las reclamaaciones provenientes de la revolución, por los daños causados a la propiedad.
La segunda sobre la comisión mixta que va a considerar las reclamaaciones de toda especie que se hagan por Méjico a los Estados Unidos y viceversa.
Si por medio de la encarcelación y sufrimientos de nuestro honorable presidente pudieramos educar a otros en el método de dirijir, estariamos satisfechos de haber cumplido con nuestro deber para el presente y para el futuro. En nuestra defensa por todo cuanto a Africa concierne, estamos satisfechos de luchar en contra de la gran oposición que nos afronta, y mas satisfechos aún de prestar los servicios que nuestra raza requiere en esta época de intranquilidad. Nuestra única ansiedad es el compenetrarnos de que los fieles al ideal, permanecen aún firmes y determinados a patrocinar y defender nuestra obra de amor para con nuestra raza.
Los delegados norteamericanos se manifestan optimistas sobre el resultado final de las negociaciones y en que todo se solucionará de tal manera que ninguna_materia pueda producir en el futuro-diferencias de ninguna especie.
Amigos y Enemigos
Veinticinco años ha, Frederick Funston, entonces brigadier general, penetro en lo más cerrado de las montañas de la isla de Luzón, con dos acompañantes blancos y varios filipinos leales y mediante una maniobra estratégica de gran osadia aprehendió a Emilio Aguilera presidente de Filipinas y jefe de la revuelta contra, el ejército americano. Hoy dia Frederick Funston.
Lealtad y cooperación son los principios requeridos de parte de las Divisiones de esta organización por su Cuerpo Directivo, bajo la instrucción directa de nuestro honorable presidente, con el único propello de solidificar nuestro sargo ideal, poniendo en relieve el espíritu de determinación de todos y cada uno de los miembros que simulayan esta magn movimiento, cuyo lema es: UN MOBIL UN PROPOSITO, UN DESTINO.
Jr., y Emilia Apuntada, Jr., hijas de las dos antiguas, enahas de unirres en la Academia Military; los Estandes Unido, en West Point, como cadete de la misma promoción y amigo.
La iniciativa anunciada de algunos restaurantes de Paris al cerrar sus puertas a los elementos de la raza está en contraste con el tratamiento concedido a las tropas americanas de color en Francia durante la guerra. La division Noventa y Dos, por ejemplo, que se hallaba compuesta de nuestro elemento gand numerosos ardientes amigos entre los franceses de los pueblos y aldeas en que se alojaron. Lo mismo es exacto de los regimientos de color que estuvieron en las brigadas francesas. Ello fue no solamente porque los soldados eran americanos, sino porque los franceses no han trazado jamás la línea de separación contra las razas de color, como lo han hecho los americanos y los ingleses. Aunque no han ido hasta donde los colonizadores españoles y portugueses de Ibero America, que por generaciones enteras contrajeron matrimonios con razas de todos los matices, han sido siempre, tolerantes y hasta cordiales hacia personas con corriente de sangre negra en las venas. Por lo general Negros de buena educación han sido bien acogidos socialmente y en otras formas en Francia. La única posible exception ha sido hecha en el caso de las tropas senegalesas que fueron reclutadas en regiones atrasadas y bárbaras y que offercian escasa atracción a las simpatias francesas. Se ha dicho también que en las Antillas francesas, especialmente en la Martinique, donde la proporción de la raza es inusitadamente elevada, la actitud de los blancos se ha asmejeado a la de los ciudadanos del sur hacia la ene en este país.
Los prejuicios raciales de los Estados Unidos no deberían ser exportados. Si los francases, por su propia-cuenta, desean excluirnos de sus restaurants, el asunto concierre solamente a ellos y a las razas de color. Cuando, no obstante, los excluyen con el fin de ganar el favor de los americanos, la cosa toma otro aspecto. Es difícil creer que haya bastante visitantes actuales o futurales de los restaurants franceses concurridos por americanos para ofender a nadie más que a un puñado de ignorantes. La mayoría de la gente gusta de llevarse sus prejuicios con ellos en sus viajes. Pero cuando intentan inponerlos a otra nación, ese hace señal de un intolerantia que sobrepasa todo limite.
Los franceses tienen una version del adagio que dice: Cuando estés en Paris haz lo que los parisienes. Los americanos, en su mayor parte, se esfuerzan más bien por hacer lo que ellos creen que los parisienes hacen. Se muestran habitualmente ansiosos de eliminar los frenos de su educación americana, substituyendola por una concepción hecha en los Estados Unidos de Paris como una ciudad de ilimitada libertad personal. Lo menos que puede pedirse de los americanos que visitan restaurants franceses es que se metan a las excentricidades de las costumbres francas, hasta tolerar la presencia de extranjeros de todos los colores.

Apropos of the tense situation at Tuskegee the following statistics make interesting reading:
Alabama has a white population of 1,447,833 and 800,652 colored. During the World War Alabama sent 38,172 Negro soldiers to war and only 25,674 white soldiers. Of course, the Klan does not tabulate any facts.
WASHINGTON, July 14. The Department of Justice has established a watch at Tuskegee, Ala., to prevent outbreaks between white residents and Negroes over the new Veterans' Bureau Hospital there.
William J. Burns, director of the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice, said today the Federal Government will make no general inquiry into the Tuskegee situation unless it is requested by Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau. Gen. Hines is trying to work out a compromise between the two races, and it was indicated at the bureau, is not disposed to ask an investigation.
It was learned today an agent of the department had been sent to Tuskegee and had reported everything quiet there.
Representatives of the Veterans' Union, composed of Negro ex-service men, will call on Gen. Hines tomorrow and urge that President Harding's letter promising a full colored personnel for the hospital be compiled with. They will, inform him the Negroes of the country will be dissatisfied with the appointment of a supervising board of whites, leaving immediate control of the institution to Negro physicians.
That plan was suggested in view of the promise of the Federal committee which selected the hospital site to those who ceded the land that the establishment he kept under white control. The Negroes want entire responsibility. There are at present about ten white physicians in the hospital, which was constructed for the care of sick and wounded Negro veterans.
TUSKEGEE, Ala.—The whites of this little Southern city openly flouted the red flag of lawlessness at constitutional government Tuesday night when they staged a big Ku Klux Klan parade. Over 1,500 Klansmen took part in the parade. After marching through the streets of Tuskegee the Klan paraders then went to Tuskegee Institute grounds and marched around the highting, holding the fiery cross high. The marchers first went around the grounds in cars, but later decided to make another trip around on foot.
The parade was termed a protest against the appointing of Negroes to positions in the government's new two-million-dollar hospital for Negro soldiers. The protest was second Tuesday because Director Walter T. Hines, in charge of the Veterans' Bureau at Washington, arrived here that afternoon to investigate local conditions. The Kluxans had originally planned to have the parade last week, but on learning of the coming of Director Hines, deferred it until the time of his

In order to win sympathy for his cause Senator Powell, in his news release, resorts to all kinds of trichology and misstatements of facts, and openly threatens trouble if Negroes are placed in charge.
After asking the question, "What will be the end?" Powell answers it as follows:
"No one can now definitely force the end. Where peace and harmony once reigned supreme, rumors of strife, open threats and impending friction are present. Here, where a peaceful little town with splendid law, abiding citizenship, had lived in harmony and peace with their black-skin brothers and had watched and assisted in the growth and development of the greatest institution of its kind in the world, has come a factor that will undermine the foundation of that harmony and peace and start the beginning of race friction that can only end in injury to

**Figure The Negro World.**
*Please be good enough to publish the following in your editorial "Look Out the Mud," which appeared in last week's issue of The Negro World.*
In preparing to a news item circulated by the Clynder Service in several Negro newspapers to the effect that my husband "had turned over the organization" to me, you stated that "it is insultful the dignity of common decency to attempt to drag the name of an innocent and helpless woman into an anaconda, where she cannot properly defend herself.*
I desire to state that the article was shown to me, but, knowing that every division, branch and chapter of the Universal, Negro Improvement Association in the world had been officially notified of the appointment of a Committee of Management to direct the affairs of the organization, with the advice and instructions of my husband (each committee comprising Messrs. Herrill, Poston and Bourne, officers of the organisation), and that your paper carries a half-page notice to that effect. I ignored the article, because the news in itself is such a clumsy, unwarrished lie that it is worthy of the source from which it came, and did not in the least disturb the divisions, branches and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I was certainly surprised to see your valuable paper giving such news almost a column of editorial space.
You have characterized me as "innocent" and helpless." I am innocent of the honor of having the Universal Negro Improvement Association, "turned over" to me by my husband, but I am not innocent of the depths to which colored men can stoop to further their
(Continued from page 2)
continued from those who used to criticize him and disagree with him throughout the length and breadth of this country. (Applause.) Sometimes we colored folks are like folks in a family. We quarrel until it gets serious. I remember I had something like this in my congregation. There was a man and his wife who were always fighting. She went for her sister Elise on one occasion, and so, when he began to beat her that night, Elise got the poker, and although her husband was beating her, when she saw Elise with the poker she said: "This is Arthur's fight and mine." (Laughter.) Whether you think or not, don't let anybody fool you or fool themselves that the Negroes in this country or throughout the world want anybody to put Marcus Garvey in jail. Whether we are members or not, we want Marcus Garvey out. Because as long as Mr. Garvey is in, you and I are on the way in. He must come out.
America's Fair Play
I want to congratulate New York and America. There are some mean white folks in the world, but America has secreta enough of fair play that, if you state your case fairly, America white America, has enough fair play to hear the truth and liberate Mr. Garvey. Don't you fool yourself. Don't let folks fool you. England and France may treat us pretty well, but Garvey went all around the world and he found that Harlem was the best place to have a Liberty Hall, (Applause) Under God you got to hand it to old New York.
More folks say what they want to say in New York than anywhere else on Godle's earth, and when you want a judge to work on your case you had better go out of the district, to Chicago or somewhere else, because these folks around here have a kind of spirit
MAN OF 60 REGAINS
VIGOR HE HAD AT 35
New Orleans Resident Tella of Wonderful Result Produced by a Recent Scientific Discovery
D. W. Wood, 60, of New Orleans, La. declares he has virtually been made again by the 'scenic discovered keepers' and 'mountainous superior to 'gland-treatment' an invigorator and revitalizer. "It has brought me back to as good, healthy physical condition as I enjoyed at 35. he writes, "I am apparently as supple as I am now." 'Good says he would not take $5,000 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 on nerves, nerve canes and certain blood vessels, it often produces benefits in 24-30 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 gives the patient a full range of 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 a $2 double-strength tablet. The company works with the understanding that it costs nothing if it fails. If you wish to try this guaranteed invigorator, write in strict confidence to the Metton Laboratories, 3117 Massachusetts Blvd. Kansas City, Mo. If you prefer, you can purchase a money-back guarantee, without money, and pay the payment $10 and postage on delivery. In either case, if you report after one week that the first compound has not been you quintessence, the laboratories will refund your money immediately. You may good-bye about accounting it.
poetry, personal schemes, even at the expense of a downrodden race such as ours.
I am not "innocent" of the tactical employed by men of my race to get easy money from allen- individuals groups and sometimes nations.
I am not "innocent" of the under- mining influences used by local individuals and rival organizations to destroy my husband and the Universal Negro Improvement Association; because such individuals and rival organizations fear the power and strength of our organization and have not the ability to create anything like unto it.
I am not "innocent" of all this, and, more, I am not "innocent" of individual psychology, and know how, whan and where to treat with some men. My four and a half years of active service in the Universal Negro Improvement Association under the personal direction of Marcus Garvey has given me a fair knowledge of men and the methods they employ in the organization and out of it.
With my unusual general knowledge and experiences for a young woman, may I not ask if the word "helpless" is not misapplied?
If the editorial was written in my defense, I have to thank you for same, and hope, that if ever I am in need of a protector (not to draw his sword in my defense, but to flash his quill), you, sir, will as on this occasion, unsolicited, spill as much ink as will prove my "innocence" and protect me as a "helpless" woman.

to do right. Liberty Hall is in big New York. There is nothing bigger than this, no one city that God has made. We are in New York. (Laughter.) But I am a preacher. I take a text, and I am going to take it now, because I preach every problem from the angle of Jesus of Nazareth.
Understanding the Times
I want to call your attention to this passage that is found in the First Chronicles, the 12th chapter, 32d verse: "The men of Issachar had understandings of the times to know what Israel ought to do." I want to talk a little while about understanding the times and knowing what to do. We have taken up the collection. Now let us sit here and understand it. I want to remark in the first place that this passage of Scripture is a practical definition of prophecy. Prophecy is understanding a time to know what to do. And it is not something that is confined to fortune-telling, it is not the foretelling, it is the telling forth what God is doing in your day and generation, it is to feel the thrill of what Jehovah has on His program for your times and your generation. The men of Issachar, back yonder in David's time, understood the times. They understood that they were in a pivotal period upon which centuries and decades turned. And we are in a pivotal period upon which centuries and decades will turn. The whole world is getting ready to move on another world-wide, universal cycle that is to go for many hundreds of years, and whatever you are going to do, do now, and whatever your program is, get it in now. (Applause.) If you don't get it in now, you need not try to put it in afterwards.
The Age of Protest
Everybody in the world is telling what they want, while the world is in a position to straighten out things, and we are not the only folks with a protest. White folks are not satisfied. A whole lot of us have grievances. We are kind of climbing them up and adjusting ourselves, and all of us white and black and everybody else are throwing them in and coming to a common understanding as to what we should do. Now I am talking about preaching. I know a lot of you kind of feel that we preachers are responsible for much. (Laughter). But I am saying that the man who understands his time is the man upon whom God has poured out his spirit. And He said this, this matchless Leader of men: "And it shall come to pass in the last days." saith God, "that I will pour our spirit upon all flesh." (Not on some; on all flesh, sons and daughters, preachers and laymen—upon all flesh). "The young men shall see visions." (That is to say, they shall have a clean grasp of master ideas). "Your old men shall dream dreams." (Things that they saw in the realm of dreamland years ago are about to come into the realm of reality). The reason we do not believe in this Spirit of the Lord—and, brothers, if the Spirit of God is not on Marcus Garvey, it is not on anybody else. (Loud applause). Mr. Garvey can truly say: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He hath anointed me to open the eyes of the blind and preach the acceptable word of the Lord." Today is this Scripture fulfilled. Right here today I want to say this, that God's spirit is poured out in a simple way on the world.
Religion of the Negro
You know, we preachers have been talking about revivals. We want a revival of religion. Well, most of us preachers would not know the Holy Spirit if we met it in the road. (Laughter.) I mean to say, that we talk about a revival of religion. Most of us do not know our sible when we see it. You know, among colored folks especially—for white folks do not pay much attention to their condition; now and then a preacher rings true and they follow him, but they ain't that kind—the average man expects the Holy Spirit. Don't think that God runs
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1922
nothing but abhorrence. Don't think that the Lord is in business, taking up collections and ordaining preachers. Don't think that a revival consists in nothing but a "Glory, Hail Judah." How the Spirit expresses Himself depends altogether on the circumstances. If the conditions are not such as would justify rejoicing but protest, then the Spirit expresses Itself or Himself in the spirit of protek. The Spirit *y* God spoke to Samuel, and Samuel smote Agag in the presence of the Lord, hewed him into pieces.
Nothing Right Today
Rebuking the Preachers
One of the hopeful signs of the times is that folks are cursing preachers That is the hopeful sign. If you think folks are not cursing preachers you don't know the news. (Laughter.) And do you think that folks are disloyal to the program of Jesus Christ? No. But they do not think that we are carrying out the principles of Jesus Christ. We are preaching and capering like children and are practicing the opposite principles of the devil, and they say you don't represent what you say you do. Let me tell you something. Here in this country we have some five million Negroes organized in the churches. England and France and some white folks, who don't mean to be fair, are no more studying about you and your churches than they are about the winds that blow. And you know why? Because we are not going to do anything but say "Hallelujah." They are not paying any attention. No matter what anybody will tell you, the whole world wakes up to hear more what Marcus Garvey has to say than all the Negro preachers in the world. (Loud applause.) And why? Because the average preacher is not preaching anything worth while. For two thousand years we have been perverting this gospel that Jesus left here and have been perverting lies.
The Biggest Asset
You talk about your Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is a nine thing. But as fine as it is your biggest asset is in "G". Don't let anybody fool you. Some may say: "But he has done so many things wrong; he has made mistakes." I tell you he is the biggest asset you have. I do not care how well others can do it. Whatever you may say about Mr. Garvey, his is the voice in the wilderness. When he cries they answer from everywhere in this land. And if you think you are a bigger man than Mr. Garvey get you something like this. (Cloud applause) You may talk about you come from Harvard and I am from Yale" and "I am from Cornell", but the man that speaks to the multitude must come from Heaven. He is not born in a day. No man can make him. He comes out of the grooming and travail of ages. Mr. Garvey is the penn-up feeling of the face that has been in the region of the shadow of death for ages. He did not come yesterday. You all talk about getting him out. Get him out if you want to. He will do more in fall than he will out. (cloud applause). But I want to state the case to the judgment of mankind. They have all the machinery. The Jews have more pull than you and I can get in one hundred years. But you must state the case. There is something, about the truth. It will get into your brain. It will sink down into your system, whether black or white, and when you find yourself you will feel like Marcus Garvey feels and moving according to his will. Know the truth and the truth will make you free:
The Negro's Lost Faith
I said that a hopeful sign of the times is that Christian folks are curing 'preachers. That is the hopeful sign. They will make us carry the real truth. They will make these churches stand up, for common righteousness and for economic utility and for salvation here now, or they are going to take the kingdom away from us. You hear people curing. They believe we
are not doing our duty. The average preacher is waiting money, white or black. He is waiting money. I will give you an idea. Most of us have taught our race to be without hope in the world. We have plenty hope bereaveer, but not much here. That is the trouble with our salvation plan. The average colored man has lost hope. The average colored man is not praying about anything. He is asking for nothing. He does not believe He is going to do anything. We preachers are responsible. You go to prayer meeting, and there is nobody there but one or two folks who are ready to die. You know why he does not go to the prayer meeting until then, he does not believe God is going to do anything. If people thought God was going to give them clothes to and food to eat, they would serve Him some. The average man feels that God has to function here or not at all.
An. Example of "Prayer"
An Example of Prayer
Listen to the average man pray. He prays like he is going to ask God for the whole world: "Aye, Aye, Lord! Say Jesus! Aye, my Father! Thy servant has come to thee in pain and trembling this morning. Yea, Lord! Oh, King, my Lord! You have been our help in ages past, our hope for years to come. Have mercy, my Lord. You have been my stay in days past and gone. I want You to pull back the curtains tonight and look down upon the Baptist Church for Jesus' sake." Fifteen minutes gone. Asked for nothing yet. (Laughter.) And by and listen to his petition: "Have mercy, Lord. Have mercy. (You think he is going to pray for somebody in trouble.) Have mercy, Lord. Oh, Jesus. Save the choir, Have mercy on the Deacon Board for Jesus' sake. (Laughter.) A race in trouble, a race, going to hell, a race suffering, and you praying about a choir. He does not expect God is going to do anything now. Hear him when he comes to the close: "Aye, Lord. When I come to the still waters of death." (Laughter.) And everybody says this is the time. That is not the time at all. The time is out. My friends, we have been preaching for men to get ready when it comes to die. Jesus said the kingdom has at hand. Pray that it comes on earth.
Desire and Achieve
And what is prayer? Prayer is the soul's sincere desire. Prayer is the dynamo of the soul. Prayer is the creating capacity for enjoying the blessings that life promises. Prayer is not only the creating desire but the dynamo that starts the wheel turning to work out the salvation and get the thing you want. The trouble is we do not ask anything. Negroes did not ask for anything until Mr. Garvey came. Here we are in this country. Up and down Harlem thousands and thousands of colored people. Shoe stores, grocery stores, hardware stores, drug stores, all sorts of manufacturing concerns. Not only here, but in Washington and Chicago and Philadelphia, miles of mills and mills, miles of factories, all owned by white folks. Thousands of ships in the sea, all owned by the white folks. Thousands of railroads in the world, all owned by white folks. Put you out of business in the morning and your business would not affect the world two hours outside of your own labor. That isuse in the West Indies, in Africa and everywhere. You and I are dead broke, and our ministers and our leaders—the pity of it is not that it is the truth, but our pupils, our politicians and public men are willing to stand for it. If a man really gets the desire, he will achieve Brother, whether you think it or not, if the spirit of God enters in, you will go on. Say to yourself, I am tired living like a doz. I want to be a manlike other man. I want to have the privileges that others have. I want to lift my head up and walk with the king's children. I want to have my own buildings. I want to have my own home. I want to have my own government. And if you don't want it, God ought to send you to the uttermost depths of hell. (Applause.)
- A Challenge
Garvey. Garvey means to tell you that the hour has struck, and it is high noon, and it was time our race was rising and getting up and wanting something like other folks. I defy anybody on God's earth to say that Garvey is disloyal to the black people of the world. I defy anybody on earth to say that he is disloyal to the white people of the earth. He is only asking for the black people the same thing that white folks are willing to die, for, and any Negro who does not believe in ought to be sent down to the depths of hell. No matter what you say, you may have noticed that since Mr. Garvey has been on the scene we preachers have been waking up. (Loud applause.) Why? My friends, you are making more disciples than will ever join your lodge. These people in their churches and other organizations are going to make their leaders do what you are doing or take them out. I used to hold revivals and stretch a long face and say, "Where will you spend eternity?" A Negro brought me to my senses, just a plain Negro out of the alley. (Laughter). I was saying, "Where will you spend eternity?" That Negro said to me, "I am interested in where I am going to spend the night." (Laughter). Whether you think it or not, the average black man wants to know where he is going to spend the night, and not only that, but where I am going to spend the day, and he wants to know not only where I am going to spend the day, but where my race is going to spend it. (Tremendous applause.)
A Comparison
Garvays may not expect to live in Africa, but his spirit will carry on the work that will be done. I hear a lot of fodl people talk about going to Africa. How did Ireland get a measure of freedom? Ireland came here. The Irishmen in Boston, New York, Chicago, and everywhere, they organized and began to create public sentiment that they could not express on British territory, and they made this great America unlock the doors and bring more liberty to Ireland than she has ever had. And just as she was the base of preparations for Irishmen, so God had chosen this America of ours to
lay the keeper for the ship that shall bring success to the black peoples of the world. America has to stand by american sentiment has to be loyal to this thing. Do it or deny the faith on which the Government was founded.
Teaching With Curves
Teaching With Curioses
I tell you the hopeful sign of the world was from people curing preachers. That is because we preachers prn such cowards. The average preacher is educated in college where the rule is, the more he knows, the worse off he is. He does not want to hurt any body's feelings. They teach him to throw curves. That is, take 10,000 people and state one principle and throw one curve right round everybody and not hit anybody. Don't have no fuss. Don't disturb. And yet, Jesus said, "You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. You shall be brought before kings and governors for my ake," and for the testimony of truth, and for the brotherhood of men. And when you ring that bell, they don't want to come. There are a few devils in the world that want to gobble up everything. But the spirit of God is upon all flesh.
The speaker then recounted an incident at Memphis. He was speaking there for the Government during the world war, he said, to help make the world safe for democracy, when feeling thirsty, he went into several white stores and asked for a drink of water, but was refused. Even a public fountain was labelled "for whites only." One need not think, he moralized, that the common people did not know what they were doing. The Spirit of God was upon all flesh.
'Where We Stand
Touching upon the World War, he said when the shock came the authorities at first were unwilling to let the black man participate, but God had His way, and black men saved the day. And what was the fight about? The nations of Europe were fighting about the world, and Africa in particular. They were fighting about oil wells, and gold, and land. The white folks were gobbling everything up. "But let me tell you something," he proceeded. "Justice is not only in the hearts of black men; there are thousands of white men willing to give you justice. The English and the French pest everybody knows. The policy of the world is to hold the black man as the slave of society for time immemorial, but under God I would rather die and go to hell than to live like this. The spirit of the Lord is upon all flesh. Don't you know that we have no guns or anything? The District Attorney prosecuting Garvey said that we have guns, but we haven't a pistol. What we have is truth. And we will be heard. And God Almighty will change this world because Jehovah has said truth will be heard. We cannot do anything at this stage by fighting, but we will convince the world. The British Government has more black subjects than white ones. The British Empire has got less than one hundred million. We have two or three hundred million. And if it be their Empire or if there be any amputing in the Empire, we will be heard. France. A fine nation. God bless the French! Bigger than anybody else. Gives us lots of liberty. France has more black Frenchmen than white. And from now on we want the President to know there are more black ones than white ones. Belgium has more black citizens than she has white citizens. And we have got some scattered all over the world Not only in our homeland, but everywhere in the world. And not only the black folios of the world are waking up but in India, too. They may have no guns, but they are saying "Let's go" (Loud applause). In India and Japan and China and in Australia and in the islands of the sea they are waking up and saying: "We are scattered around, and we want to come together. You don't want to live with us. We purpose to lay the foundation for our coming together, so that if you don't want to be with us you can come over and visit us sometimes. (Arpause) I am just as sure that it is coming as I am living today. The Negroes here are just Negroes in quarters. The Negroes are out yonder. Tall sons and daughters, bread shoulders, men that can eat men alive." (Laughter.)
Nobody's Business
Referring to the Black Star Line, Dr. Moses said: "Talk about the Black Star Line! What have the white folks to do with our Black Star Line anyway? Wasting the people's money! Well come back. Who wasted the Government's money? The harbor of Philadelphia is blocked with ships, ships are rotting in Brooklyn, in Galveston and Charleston—the merchant marine is not functioning. The Shipping Board is not doing anything. You had one thousand years and you could not do it. We want to see how our ships look now. And under God we are going to get some ships (Loud applause) It may not pay. But automobiles do not pay, yet we ride in them sometimes. We are going to get some ships and ride in them. Your protest is to keep the organization together. Raise more money and make more fuss and the country is going to rise. I believe the spirit is on you."
A Magnificent Peroration
Recalling how black men saved civilization in the World War, the
speaker, concluding, told how the Sen-
Notice to Norfolk Division!
In last week's issue of the Negro World, it was stated that the office of President in the Norfolk, Va., Division was declared vacant by the Parent Body for cause.
We beg to state that this was an emergency and Franklin expressed to the Parent Body his intention of resigning on July 5, 1823. Later, the Parent Body instructed him to resign, and ordered an election in the Norfolk, Division for President, July 25. Further, the Parent Body asked him to stand for any office in the division until further notice from the Parent Body.
This is due to an unwillingness on the part of Mr. Franklin to cooperate with the Parent Body. Mr. Franklin is a national president of the Norfolk Division.

engines troops drove the Germans from the gates of Paris and how two Hermes Negro lions covered themselves with glory taking captive a score of Germans "And do you think we be asked, "we are going to quit now? Do you think we are going to let them divide? Adelaar now? Just as we did then, we are going to stand in the days to come. We are going to hurt nobody unless you get between us and the promised land. I see a time when black people everywhere are going to rise and shine, for the lie, is given and the Light of God is shining on the books. I see a larger day. I see a city of schools and churches. I see cities everywhere, extending from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo in Egypt! I see a crowd yonder 'extending from the Zambeli to the Niger River. I see this race of mine waking up, hand in hand, American and what not, pressing us together, having a home together. Let nobody deceive you. It may take a year. It may take ten thousand years. But under God the hour will come when Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand to God and black men shall hold their heads high, and the name of Marcus Garvey shall be embalmed in our memories and our
children through long ages. But in the future, as in the past, many dittings to prize enobling gifts need for the higher purpose, and the encouragement of a race, then, at Marvous Gavrys's tomb generations, yet unborn shall pay homage till the stray child at the day of Judgment." (Prolonged applause.) The petition was, then signed by persons in the audience who had not previously had the opportunity, after which the gathering dispersed.
