The Negro World

The Independent Weekly The Voice of the Abandoned Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XIV. No. 23 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1923 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. This is an obligation that must be met by every Division, Branch and Chapter. Members will please see that this is done as as to advance the work of the organization. M. G.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEGRO WORLD 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; Five thousand Negroes assembled at mars meeting here today, representing thirty thousand other Negro citizens of the Harlem district of New York, respectfully beg to further draw to your notice and attention the con- NOTICE To the Norfolk Divisions and Other Divisions and Chapters in Virginia Mr. H.

"WILLIAM L. SHERRILL." "Chairman." The meeting was opened with the singing of the "Star-Spangled Banner" followed by the "Ethiopian Nation Anthem." Prayers were read, after which the chairman welcomed to Liberty Hall friends and sympathizers among the audience. Vocal solos were rendered by Mr. Simon and Mrs. Lewis, after which Mr. Sherrill delivered the opening address. 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 Dr. Moses' Masterly Oration, Which Evoked Enthusiastic Applause, Is Fully Reported and Will Be Read With Breathless Interest in Every Part of the World Where Blackmen Are, Setting Out as It Does So Tersely and So Truly the Understanding of the Times, Breathing That Protest Against Injustice Which Wells Up in the Heart of Every Negro in Every Clime GARVEY NOW PLACED ON A HIGHER PLANE Bessie Smith sings The Latest Episodes in the BLUES OF BESSIE "Mama's Got the Blues" A-3900 75c At Columbia Dealer "Outside of That" The finest talent among colored artists records for the Columbia Graphophone Company.

Columbia New Process Records COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE COMPANY, New York 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. W. H. SHERRILL, 2nd Aast. President-General, C. S. BOURNE, Chancellor, ROBERT. L.

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 the field representative of the National Baptist Convention of the United States, representing my denominational group of nearly 4,000,000 Christians, the largest group of Negro Christians in the world. In the last sixty days I have been in some twenty States, and everywhere throughout this country where I have been, North and South, East and West, during the trial of the Hon. Marcus Garvey I have not heard a single criticism, even from AFRICA IS ADDING NEW DIVISIONS TO THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. South Africa Gets Five New Charters and West Africa Four The Answer to the Propaganda of the Enemy Is an Increased Membership of the U. N. I.

N. I. A. THE SPIRIT OF GARVEYISM HAS TURNED THE NEGRO AROUND-HAS GIVEN HIM A NEW DETERMINATION AND FACED HIM IN A NEW DIRECTION Garvey in Prison Is Stronger Than Garvey Out—Is Hailed as the Apostle of Negro Liberty—Garvey Sends His Weekly Message From the Tombs Prison—Tells Enemies We Are, Rising—Admonishes Membership to Hold on for the Cause Is Righteous—Sherrill and Poston Deliver Able Addresses LIBERTY HALL. New York. Sunday Night. July 15.—The enemies of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been signally defeated in their hope and purpose to destroy the organization by the temporary removal of its founder from active leadership; for here in New York ever since the Imprisonment of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the members have rallied in numbers and in financial support more largely than ever before, and persons who had in the past either paid no attention to the movement or had refused it, are now in sympathy with it and have reached the wise conclusion that they are better off inside the association than outside of it. Thus has the local membership been increased, and likewise from all over the country and from abroad come similar news—of the creation of new divisions and chapters and the expressed determination of the members to stand behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey. This is the answer to the efforts and the propaganda of the enemies, and said Hon. R. L. Poston, the secretary-general, in his speech tonight, "the answer from Africa this week was nine charters—live in South Africa and four in West Africa." Here again is a Praetition to those who have contended that the native Africans are not interested in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This information given out by Mr. Poston was the signal for great rejoicing by the large audience in Liberty Hall tonight, and, as said by Mr. Poston, "does that look as though the enemies are destroying the Universal Negro Improvement Association." I think not. "The N. A. A. C. P., the African Blood Brotherhood and the 'friends' of Negro freedom thought when this thing happened to Marcus Garvey they would be able to float on flowery beds of ease, because they felt that they had removed the greatest stumbling block to their vacillating and surrounding policy for the Negroes in this country. But they have studied their history wrong: For Marcus Garvey in prison today is stronger than Marcus Garvey could have possibly been out, and the spirit of Marcus Garvey is so deeply rooted in the hearts of his followers that the Universal in stronger since the period of his incarceration than it was before." The weekly message from Hon. Marcus Garvey, written by him in the Tombs prison, was read tonight by H. Vinton Plummer as follows, and received, with the usual degree of cheer and good will: The Tombs Prison, Center Street, New York City. July 15, 1923. "To the Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Liberty Hall, New York: "I can imagine seeing you tonight, in the fullness of your enthusiasm to serve the great cause of African redemption. "As you gather together for such a noble and grand purpose, there are others who are planning evil against you, but may I not ask you to be of good cheer and abiding faith? The self of man shall perish, and the cause of righteousness shall triumph. I see victory before me for Africa. I see a world of norm and contempt turned to respect and appreciation, because of the crowning glory of Africa's new day. "Tell our enemies that we are rising to the tune of righteousness, and in a short white we shall make their our footstool, as we plant our confidence in PE-RU-NA FOR SUMMER COLDS Break them up. Colds are cute enterrh and there is danger in letting them run. Pe-ru-na has been meeting this emergency for over fifty years. Sell Everyone Ticket or Liquid God, and our strength, in forth with Christ an our leader to do battle with the sins of men. "Your cause is righteous. Hold on, and give proof of your character and strength, for with thee do I labor, and with thee do I pray. "With love and good will, I beg to remain. "Your humble and obedient servant, "MARCUS GARVEY." President-General. Universal Negro Improvement Association The other speakers were Hon James O'Mellan and Hon William L Sherrill. First Assistant President, General, Mr. Sherrill, with his usual eloquence, logical and forceful reasoning, gave added inspiration to the audience, and if there were any who were dubious about the possibilities of the Association, they left Liberty Hall with a determination to carry on the work, being convinced that within it and only within it lies the hope of the Negro race in the future. The Association, said Mr. Sherrill, is not dreaming or thinking of putting any force into operation; the Association is not thinking of starting an insurrection in America or in Egladi or the West Indies; but the Association at this time is engaged, earnestly and assiduously, in the program of uniting the Negro—of getting the Negro willing—of getting the Negro agreeable in following a plan of racial uplift regardless of what the following of that plan may cost. It is this unification of Negro strength which has been wrought by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, said Mr. Sherrill, that is bringing about much discussion in the white percolators and journals, because the white world sees the handwriting on the wall. The Negro has had decided on his future course of action. The future course of the Negro's progress will be that the Negro will begin laying the foundation for power—will begin laying of a foundation for a force that will be second to none to any great force which he will come up against. To go back or to stop, he added, does not help our cause; the Negro is determined to press on. We may as well press on, for to stand where we are means death; to go back means death to the race; to press on we can get nothing more than death and we would rather die 400,000,000 of us fighting for freedom, for independence and for liberty than to die 400,000,000 cowards trying to sneak to some hole of protection. In conclusion, Mr. Sherrill said, that an African Republic in the Negro's awakening is on an absolute necessity; the ambitions of black men cry for it; their economic growth calls for it; their desire for nationhood—the desire for an active client necessitates a great African Republic, and we have entered this fight to stay and not stop until Negroes have been freed and redeemed. Following is the full text of the preaches: Address of Sir James O'Meally The first to speak was Sir James O'Meally. High Commissioner-General. He said those who were present two weeks ago would remember that he spoke on the basic doctrine of the white man, which was that Might was Right. He tried then to show them that the white map did not allow religion to interfere with his politics, except where it would directly help him in the domination of the weaker races. He taught his statesmen that honesty, frankness and mercy were vices, and that in order to succeed he must practise hypocrisy, bribery, treachery and violence. Those things might at first blush seem unjust, but every one was bound to admit that they were wise. Even in Holy Writ no less a person than Jesus praised an unjust action, when, as recounted in the sixteenth chapter of St. Luke, He commended the unjust steward because he had acted wisely. An Abuse of the Press Continuing he said: "The white man has not depended alone on military force, but he is marshaling other forces no less powerful and every inch as efficient to keep him dominant. Some of these measures are the control of the press, secret societies and segregation. In the control of the press, the white man established central agencies from which the controls all the news, and only the news, that is not harmful to his interest he allows to be published. This makes it extremely difficult for the scattered members of the Negro race to, obtain the truth about their race, to obtain the truth of the dealings between white and black, whether it be in the United States, in the West Indies or in Africa. Censorship in Schools "Even in the schools you are not taught anything about the great Negroes of the past or the great Negroes of the present. School boys in the West Indies know more about Wellington and Napoleon than they do about their own island. They can tell you about Birmingham, Manchester and London, and they know nothing at all about the West Indies. And so it is that we are kept from learning the truth about our race. Even in the libraries certain books are kept out because they are afraid of the truth." But when thieves fall out, Mr. O'Meanly recalled, honest men comp into their own. The great war furnished an example. It was then that the world knew of the maltreatment by Belgian, England, France and Germany of the natives in Africa. These nations, in the form of propaganda, spread the news of the misdeeds of each other in Africa. The Lot of Kenya Proceeding, the speaker referred to the presence in England of two delegations, an Indian delegation and a white delegation, from Kenya, fighting for political equality and political rights there. About 250,000 acres of the land there was at an altitude of four thousand feet, and anything that could be grown in France grew there. The climate was equal to that of France. But the Negro was out of the picture. There were 10,000,000 Negroes in the northeastern provinces, 40,000 East Indians and only 8,000 whites, and the whites wanted to dominate the 10,000,000 Negroes. The white man said that land was his heritage, his by discovery, his by conquest, his by trey. And yet there were some Negroes who said they have nothing in Africa. The prospect was gloomy. The only aspect was that the Indians, in protecting their own interest were fighting the battle of the natives there. The Laws of the Strong Touhring segregation. Mr O'Meally said the white man passell laws which compelled the natives to live in the malarial lowlands, while he appropriated the healthy highlands for himself and his children. This was one way of removing the Negro. It was well that Negroes to realize the sort of enemy they were up against, an opponent who was prepared to do every means possible to retain his supremacy. And until lynching was stopped, until segregation was stopped, until the exploitation of the weaker races was stopped, the U. N. I. A. would be a necessity in the life of the Negro race. SIR ROBERT POSTON'S SPEECH Sir Robert Poston, was the next to address the meeting. He said: I listened with care to Sir James (or really as he told of the methods employed by Great Britain in enslaving the Negro and making the Negro like him. You know more of Wellington than you know of your own native man, and you know the geography of England better than you do the geography of the island which gave you both. That is just the thing that impaired our great leader. He lived in those conditions. He saw it and felt it, and he knew just as the conditions were in the West Indies so they are throughout the world so far as Negroes are concerned. And hence he brought into being a great power that will not cease operation until there is a change in the land. And because he did that he is suffering tonight. A Paramount Issue The case of the Host Marcus Garvey is becoming quite an issue today in America. Wherever you see two men together, if they are together long enough, they are discussing some ample of this case. They are saying if it is possible for this man to be denied his constitutional rights, the right of bail, it is possible for every black man in this country to be denied those rights. I observe in looking over the paper that ministers of the gospel are making texts out of this matter and business men of all descriptions are discussing this matter seriously. It seems that these men take the position, and rightly, that in denying ball to this man the authorities have struck at the BAYER Genuine Unless you see the name "Bayer" on package or on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer product prescribed by physicians over twenty-two years and proved safe by millions for Accept "Bayer Tables of Aspirin" only. Each unbroken package contains premium direction. Already houses twelve tablets cost $9.00 cents. Drug- gists also sell bottles of 24 and 100. Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer. Manufacture of Monococcicacidenter of Salicylicacid. very foundation of a democratic government; they have rendered as a scrap of paper the Constitution upon which this government was built. And it not only affects colored people, but it affects the entire republico so long as a single being, though humble, is denied the fundamental rights of ball. I am not a lawyer, but I am told by those who study the law and know that there is not another case on record where a man has been denied bail for an offense like this. That means something to every black man in the world. If that thing had been done to the Indian the Indians would not be at rest tonight. If such a thing was done to the Japanese all Japan would be awake tonight. What should be the attitude of the four hundred million Negroes of the world when your fundamental rights can be so easily taken from you and trampled under the feet of men? The Negro's Only Hope That is why, friends, we ought to stand by an organization like this. We have got no hope anywhere else in this world, and, friends, if we lose out in this fight we are making we are a doomed race. In the words of Porakar: "We are asking of them no favors, because we are Negroes; we only want justice, because we are men." And there are some of us who are willing to go the entire distance in order that we may have that justice. What is life? friends, when the main part of it — liberty — can be so easily taken away from us? What is money, what are buildings, what are all of the possessions we have down here if we cannot enjoy the fundamental rights, which should be the possession of every man who breathes the breath of life." The Struggle of the Jew I have tried to be fair, but as a young man—and I have tried to keep prejudice and bitterness out of my soul, for I learnt very early that if I does not help any man to hate anybody body without a cause, for years I have studied the struggle of the Jew, and as a man interested in human liberty I have looked kindly upon the Jew, because I felt that he was straightening upward just as I am struggling upward. And when I used to read the "Dearborn Independent," edited by Henry Ford, and when I used to hear Mr. Ford speak about the Jew, I did not like it one bit, and upon one occasion I even wrote Mr. Ford because of his abuse of a struggling and what I thought to be an innocent face of people. But when I said that I did not think there was in the world a man by the name of Mattuck. If Mattuck is representative of what the Jew would do, should he get into power, I pray God that he will never get into power (Applause.) I want to be fair, and I would see to see the Jew repudiate the action of this man who is boundless and persecuting an innocent man, because he has been told outspoken to that man Domingo, Curtis Briggs, N.A. A. C. P., and all of those against that spread the lie that Mr. Mattuck is allied with the Ku Klux Klan has caused cotton Jews to like the attitude toward him, because it is stated that the Ku Klux Klan is against Jew. Have they not yet enough to know that the Ku Klux Klan is primarily against the black man. Have they some enough to know that the Ku Klux Klan did not think of the Catholic and the Jew, for only of the black man? How can M. Gorvess who must then any other living human being be interested in the manhood of black men, be interested in the Ku Klux Klan? And yet, I found that the thing that Mattuck and the rest base then attacks on the How Morgue Garvey upon Oppression a Motus Force Oppression a Matter Force But, my friends, those people are looking to ten of them in studying their history wrong. It is through oppression that we are through strife, that that press. I will tell why we have willed it to them that then we will be in this country it is simply be cared for now. Now we have gone to tell. Now the court beginning to see that we are in good earnest. When a man could have gotten mercy, when a man could have gotten some considerable of the court and when he received it consideration, when it compelled him to pardon that he would keep in mouth court and when he stood up because the court and court said. No man, for no price, will sell my life. If I speak the truth, the truth the Veaven't when the Hon. Marcus Garvey inter- such words a line is written in the history not only of the Negro this country but in the history of the Negro through the world. (Ap- laise). And long after this building has crumbled into dust, long after this civilization, which we are supposed enjoying today, shall have passed away, these weeks of the Hon. Marcus Garvey will be remembered, and black youth will refer to them to gather on a spurion to carry on in this great fight for human liberty. Africa's Answer What is the result of all of this? I will tell you what Africa's answer to this is. The answer of Africa this week was nine chapters, live in South Africa and four in West Africa. (Cloud applause.) Does that look as though they are destroying the Universal Negro Improvement Association? I think not. The N. A. A. C. P., the African Blood Brotherhood and the "Friends of Negr Freedom," thought when this thing happened to Marcus Garvey they would be able to float on flowery beds of oasis, because they fell that they had retrieved the greatest stumbling block to their vocilating and surrendering policy for the Negroes in this country. Him, I say, they, too studied their blistery wrong. For Marcus Garvey in prison today is stronger than Marcus Garvey could have possibly been out, and the spirit of Marcus Garvey is so deeply rooted in the hearts of his followers today that th. Universal is stronger since the two weeks or more of his incarceration than it was before. So, friends they have not been able to accomplish the thin, they set out to accomplish. They will not be able. A Prophet of Good Will A Prophet of Good Will My heart thrilled tonight when we were singing "God Bless Our President," and I say again, God, bless our president, and God bless him, again. Any man who can bring to the Negroes the hope that he has brought to us should have a seat in the Kingdom beside the Apostles and Prophets. I feel certain that when his days are over and when he carries his tired body to the feet of the Master, He will bid him abuse and give him a higher place in His Kingdom. For Marcus Garvey has truly been a prophet of good will, not only to black people throughout the world but to all humanity struggling in hard. The K. K. K. Organized Against the Referring to the remark of Mr. Poston that the Ku Klux Klan is organized against the Negro, Hon. William Sherri-gald, "That is true. You take the Ku Klux Klan. They say they are fighting Jews, Catholics and Negroes, but in truth and in fact they are organized for the sole purpose of fighting Negroes and maintaining white supremacy. Now remember, the Jew is fought by the Ku Klux Klan only on account of his religion, not because of his racial identity, because if a Jew becomes a Protestant tomorrow morning he is eligible to become a member of the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan lights the Catholics on account of their color, their religion, and not on account of their color, because if the Catholic becomes a Protestant he is eligible for membership of the Klan. But you have no alternative unless you can watch in some eclectic stream and become white, you can never become a member of the Ku Klux Klan. So somebody need feel no member of the Ku Klux Klan need not feel you by coming into your Negro chinless and making donations and telling Negro preachers and leaders that they are not against the Negro. "They are primarily against the Negro and so everybody in trying to be out the propagand and that Marcia Gavrey is a member of the Ku Klux Klan know that they are telling an antimoney be on the face of it. MESSAGE FROM HON. MARCUS GABVEY Mr. H. Vinton Pammino then stated that he had seen Mr. Garvey last night and he was very pleased with the determination than ever to put the program over. He then read Mr. Garvey's message to Library Hall. -HON, WM, SHERBILL SPEAKS -HON. WM. SHERRILL SPEAKS Hon. WM. L. SHERRILL, LL.

Living in a Material Age When we read such articles as these it brings vividly to our minds the fact that today we live in a material age; we today live in an age when men neither listen to nor give heed to sympathetic appeals. We live today in an age when men are not moved by the sense of brother for brother, but when every face and every nation is looking out for itself. In the latter article Russia says that she is looking forward to world domination. Russia is thinking only in terms of Russia. Russia is building only for Russia. Russia is not thinking about the black man only as the black man serves Russia's purposes. We look around today and see that England is building a larger navy, England has plans on foot for larger navies. England today is looking forward to the mastery of the air. England is thinking of the millions of blocks that she controls only as those millions of blocks will serve her purpose in the coming conflict that is inevitable. France today dominates the air. France who is said, is in a position to always destroy England in every regime hosts with her great airplane service, is thinking only of France. She fusses about policy of quality and fraternity among blocks simply because France understands that in the coming conflict her manpower will be deployed shortly giving her strength to the blocks she sheds the heat that she is thinking only in terms of them also.

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.

The climax of the case was expected to be reached when the arch-bend became witness. Then the world was an know the extent of the 'Tiger' a mauliga. His slicking theft, his vile deceits, were to be revealed. His parasite system was to be dissected and analysed and basal in all its gruesomeness to a merciless press, an indignant world. A clever, relentless prosecutor was to unmask the villainy of a century. Tale of a bank account of six figures, at least, was to be spread upon the minutes. Real estate deeds and titles were to joistle each other for admission in evidence. Some surveyor's map of some subterranean retreat, where, like Monte Cristo, Marcus Garvey hid his wealth, was to furnish the grand climax. But the mountain' of expectancy, in-labor a year and a half, did not bring forth even a mouse. The play fell flat. The early dining, as for a "first night," of a score or more newspaper men who unrewarded. The friends of the playwright, who filled the orchestra stalls, were bored to death. The certain descended amidst a dead silence. Marcus Garvey lost the witness stand, as he undoubtedly is, an honest man. Comparisons are very odious. Very odious, indeed. Very painful. Especially when race enters in. But the Creightons, accused of murder, eschewed the witness-stand and were freed. Not that they should have been condemned for exercising a privilege. Not at all. But such an extraordinary thing made the verdict of acquittal none the less popular. And Marcus Garvey, imagine his electing not to take the stand! Such a proceeding would have made any closing reference to him by the prosecutor a waste of time. He took the stand. He vindicated himself. His enemies were mortified. And he received the maximum penalty. But the climax of the trial was reached during the final addresses to the jury by Marcus Garvey in behalf of himself and of Attorney Henry Lincoln-Johnson in behalf of Ellie Garcia. Then it was that euphoniums were discarded. The full meaning of the case was bared and the issues encircled with a blinding light, cruel and merciless. The time for suggestions and hints had passed, and frankness and candor ruled. But even as Marcus Garvey paced to and fro in front of the jury making his remarkable effort, for a few brief seconds another individual, a stranger in town, shared with him the lightest. I was banging back in my chair at the press table--almost tolling--trying to measure the influence on those twelve good men and true of the impassioned words which fell from the "Tiger's" lips, when, so it seemed, the furrymen, almost to a man, fixed their gaze on me. Becoming self-conscious, I corrected my posture. Just still the jurymen atared. I looked anxiously at the judge. Horror! He was lagged with the jurymen. I glanced separately at the spectators. Some of them also had their eyes trained on me. I was in a fiz. About to collapse. I was saved at the eleventh hour. My own optics telegraphed my brain in the nick of time that neither judge, jurymen nor spectators were waiting a glance on me. The behold of the beholders was a white man, seated in a chair close by! He was a middle-aged gentleman—a Southerner, as I learned afterward. His home was in Florida. He had recently come to New York on business and pleasure bent; had learned from the white newspapers that fun, fast and turpis, waxed daily in the old postoffice building, and had looked in to see. Somewhat, carelessly dressed but of affluent aspect, he was an interesting figure. Legs wide apart, body bent forward, Panama hat revolving slowly between his knees on an axis formed by two finger-tips, there he sat, in a posture of attention extraordinary, his face registering amusement and indignation and protest and admiration all in quick succession. Marous Garvey, perhaps noting the jurymen's lapse, paused to moisten his throat with water. The Southern gentleman, sobered by the silence, recovered and relaxed. Garvey continued. In a conversation with this gentleman during the recess hour I was made to understand that the trial was "altogether unusual." Of course it was very unusual. Therein lay the reason for the Southern gentleman's picture gallery. The sight of Marcus Garvey, Negro, layman, cool and composed, reviewing intricate, voluminous evidence after the manner of a seasoned lawyer, was very unusual. A black man, that same man who is still in penance in some parts of the land, to which liberty, in statue, bids welcome, a black man, in defiant attitude, spurring mercy and clamoring for justice, was a very unusual sight. It was certainly something new to hear a black man in a Federal courtroom asking to be given the limit of the law, to be sent down to the depths of hell if there was the alightest belief that the things charged against him were true. It was all very unusual. Such things did not happen in the South. There the Negro, in the toils, often pleaded guilty for expediency. His plea must be all for mercy. He dared not demand justice. It was all very unusual. And the Floridan gentleman's bewilderment was plain for all to see. Maxwell Mattuck, prosecutor, said in his summation to the jury he was glad Marcus Garvey tried his own case, because thereby the jury were afforded an opportunity to appraise him by his conduct, which, he submitted, was not that of an innocent. Of course, you were glad, Mr. Mattuck. But you know deep down in your heart that if ever a man's conduct betokened innocence, it was the conduct of the defendant Garvey. Was it indicative of guilt that Garvey should, in cross-examination of the star witnesses of the government, all ex-employees of the Black Star Line, Inc., bid them "tell the court and the jury all you know of Garvey"? Was it in an attempt to conceal his guilt that Garvey placed witnesses on the stand in his defense without, from a prejudice "intervieved," an way made clear to the market type of either legal? No, Mr. Pigouston, you know his conduct was in hopping with innocence. But I have no quarrel with you. I myself, to do a great good, would do a little wrong. Self-preservation is the first law of nature. But there were many Negroes who were just as sorry as you were glad that Mr. Garvey conducted his own case. Their sorrow and your joy, however, sprang from the same source. There was the strong element of competition between a prosecution and a defendant, in the realm of the former. Marous Garvey, to make matters worse, author of the slogan, "What white men can do, black man can also do," was exemplifying the utter inconsequence of color. His fate was in the hands of white men. He was at a disadvantage. You knew it. Further, you know his disadvantages would be emphasized with him in the limelight. And you were glad. But we were sorry. The "tiger's" relentless logic, his brilliant defense, his amazing composure must have unsettled others besides the southern gentleman. Blood is thicker than water. But for all this, who was there in that courtroom who was not moved, even despite himself, as Garvey and Lincoln Johnson, gifted orators of their race, warmed to their work? For the influence of the spoken word on the emotions cannot well be curbed. A week-end of reflection in a hostile atmosphere may, with the cooling of the emotions, bring an illogical reaction. But what of this! The vindication was full. A man perished. But a cause triumphed. Listen to Henry Lincoln Johnson as he, transfixes with the truth: "The black man does not live whose heart is not praying that some day, somehow, the hideous curtain of hell and hate and of oppression and of a lack of opportunity will some day be lifted from the vision of his children." And as his hearers sit agasthet spellbound, hear him an he rubs it in: "We have a feeling that we have done no wrong. The government has proved no wrong. The government has proved the boiling up of hearts, of the souls of black people. The government has proved that the black man is tired of wearing clothes, and not making them. The government has proved that the black man is tired of eating food, and not selling it. The black man is tired of stoking ships, and not navigating them. And if you will not help us, don't hamper us." Negroes held their heads high when Mr. Johnson had concluded. Newspaper reporters, of whose conduct throughout the trial I shall have a word to say later on, looked worried and abashed. One gentleman left the courtroom and wrote, for the Evening World, the only fair account of a day's proceedings written since the trial began. The prosecutor ceased studying his feet. Amoa, Negro special agent, right hand man, wearing a harried expression, hastened from the vicinity of the court. Such cowards conscience makes of us all. (To be continued.)

For a time he strove vainly to suppress the "new doctrine," believing that the adoption of Christianity with its teaching of equality, freedom and liberty would inevitably spell the ruin of his aristocracy and the undermining of his power. The white masses saw in the Sign of the Cross their salvation from the oppression of the rich and the noble, and really regarded it as a parade. for their evils. They rallied to the Christian banner and many, of the pagan emperors had to grant to the worshipers of Christ greater privileges and support. At quite an early period, however, the suture rulers of these white masses saw that the Christian religion could be used for an entirely different purpose than that for which the founder had intended it. Conveniences of Christianity The white man, by nature proud, vindictive, warlike and atheistic, knew that Christianity, which teaches its followers to be humble, meek, peaceful and forgiving, was really alien to his character and his aspirations. He therefore conceived the plan of adopting Christianity as a doctrine "de convenience," one which he would support with all his might, because it would help him considerably in subduing the weaker races when it was not expedient to do so by arms. How the white man succeeded in putting through his diabolical plan of using Christianity as a powerful weapon in the conquest and exploitation of the darker races is written in part in the sad and bloody history of his contact with them. The colored races when they embraced the Christian faith endeavored to practice its virtues and live up to its principles. They labored under the impression that the white man's government was based upon honesty, love, justice, liberality, fraternity and equality, and its good Christians it was incumbent upon them in their dealings with him to be frank, just, honest and meek. The white mar had, however, decided that there should always be a double standard of morality in his dealings with the darker races, or that morals should not find a place in his politics. Honesty a Vice He decided that the black man had no rights which he was bound to respect, and instructed and taught his statesmen and officials who had to come into contact with the colored T.

Power, hypocrisy, treason, violence, cunning and bribery, since they all helped to make him supreme and dominant and were certain steps to white overlordship, were to be considered not only as virtues but as duties. Even in their diplomatic relations among themselves honor and truthfulness were not considered as the virtues of a diplomat, but rather as vices. Promises were made without the slightest intention of fulfilling them. Treaties were regarded only as scraps of paper. Assurances of peace and good will were given by one nation to another, while preparations for war were being assidiously made an alliances for offensive purposes against them were entered into. England in her colonial possessions has practiced more of these virtues than perhaps any other power and has acquired most of her land and wealth by violence, bribery and treason while posing as the most Christian and liberal nation in the world. Injustices to Natives When we read of the mal-administration of British and French colonies, of the injustice meted out to the natives, of the equity to individual black men and women, and the massacre of entire tribes such as the massacre of the Blondes, we sometimes attribute this to the individual prejudice of the governor or military commander and always hope against hope that the higher authorities would abolish these things, which are an outrage against Christianity; but these things are done deliberately and are a part of the white man's policy to kill the spirit of the colored man, because he believes that terrorism leads to blind submission. In dealing with such an opponent trionon must be met with treason, cruelty with cruelty, violence with violence, hypocrisy with hypocrisy, and force with force; otherwise we shall always meet him at a disadvantage, for, in spite of his churches, Sunday schools, uplift societies and Bible, the white man's God is might and the secret of his power. J. A. O'MEALLY. SPANIARDS LOSE ONE THOUSAND IN BATTLE WITH AFRICAN TROOPS SPANIARDS LOSE ONE THOUSAND IN BATTLE WITH AFRICAN TROOPS MADRID, June 14—The Moors have done it again. Spain has suffered another severe military retreat in Morocco. The Rifian leader, Abdul Krim, who inflicted such a crushing defeat on the Spanish arms over a year ago and who was paid an enormous ransom for the large number of Spanish prisoners captured by his forces, has once more assumed the offensive. The triumph have flocked to his standard in enormous numbers, and the Rifian leader, who graduated from one of Europe's leading military academies, has precluded a Jebad, or holy war, against the Spanish. To divert a threatened danger to their lines of communication between Tetuan and Sheshman, the Spaniards had dispatched a composite force, including three squadrons of fighting airplanes, which, however, were mostly used for bombing unfortified villages, to break and disperse the rebel concentration. A Spanish force of 10,000 men encountered the Moroccan patriots strongly entrenched. The Spaniards bombed the patriot forces held, after a searching fire from their guns, launched three infantry attacks, all of which were beaten off with heavy losses. The patriot force magnificently stood its ground during this baptism of fire. After the third Spanish attack had failed, the Moors launched a counter attack with such deadly effect that the Spanish forces sought safety in flight. A cavalry charge was then launched by the Moors and ruthless destruction overtook many of the fleeing Dong and their Valorous British, French and American (white) allies who are serving the Spanish-tyrant in the Spanish Foreign Legion. The Spanish Foreign Legion was almost totally destroyed. Many of its members, as will be remembered, were recruited last summer in the United States and the British Isles. They now sleep on African soil and hear the Moors' conquering tread above them. The Foreign Legion and some native troops were placed in the van of the attacking Spanish army. The Dope stayed behind "in support." When the fun was over and the flight began, the Dons led the van of the feeling army. This latest reverse has produced a painful effect in Madrid and serves to strengthen the hands of the Spanish Communists, who are demanding complete withdrawal of Spanish forces from African soil. In these circles it is now meticulously suggested that perhaps the Spanish captivists will emulate the example of the Italians after the latter were whipped by the Ayasinshians at the battle of Adown. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1943 THE MIGRATION OF NEGROES FROM THE SOUTH CONTINUES White Supremacy is at Last Awakening to the Alternative Which Is Facing Them The migration of Negroes from the Southern States, which is continuing unabated, bids fair to have far-reaching consequences. Not only will it bring about a more equal racial distribution, but it may well effect a revolution in agriculture in the South and secure there better treatment for the colored people. the efforts of Senatpr Harris and others to bring immigrants from andinavia to the south are evidence enough that the cotton and tobacco planters are becoming seriously alarmed. Cheap labor has always been the mainspring of the system of extensive agriculture, which has existed south of the Mason and Dixon line since early, Colonial days, and the desertion of the Negro workers may make it necessary for the large estates to be cut up and sold to little proprietors. This development is by no means unwholesome and would strengthen rather than weaken the Southern economic system. But to the planter who sees his laborers flocking off to the North, it seems entirely destructive, and he is using every means in his power to stop it. In this fact lies the opportunity of the Negro to obtain fair treatment, an opportunity which he is not slow to utilize. A conference of leaders of the race in Georgia has just addressed a communication to the Legislature stating on the one hand that they desire to remain in the South; but on the other setting forth a list of grievances which they demand shall be remedied. Prominent among these are higher farm wages, better housing conditions, better educational facilities, equality in the enforcement of laws, the repeal of contract labor laws, the elimination of mob violence. That some or all of these requests will eventually be granted hardly admits of doubt. The South has the alternative of deserted fields or of better treatment for the people who till them. And this, in turn, will be a good thing, not only for the colored man, but for the Southern planters themselves. THE AFRICAN LEGION Col. Harrigan Explains the Aims and Objects of This Auxiliary of the U. N. I. A. To Our Friends: The Universal African Legion, like the uniform ranks of all other organizations, is endowing to establish for itself a friendly relation with all other organizations. Why so much prejudice? Is it because you do not understand the purposes of this auxiliary? Are there any facts behind your many reasons, if any? Sometimes we receive information from the wrong parties or through the wrong channel. This we are trying to clarify in order that we might understand each other. For let us ask why this antagonistic feeling? Is it because we are an auxiliary of the U. N. I. A. If so, why? All organizations, we hope, are endeavoring to assist in the uplift of humanity in their own popular way, and all will ultimately arrive at the same place. We have, for instance, the many denominations. We have Roman Catholics, Methodists, Episcopalians, and many others, yet we find they are all working toward one objective—the place of eternal rest and happiness. The U. N. L. A. like the movement of George Washington, did not meet the approval of many, but in spite of that even the children of those who opposed Washington and his movement are today enjoying the fruits of his labor. After a hundred-old years Washington's movement has made those United States the world's most progressive spot, toward all nationalities look for help in their time of need. So it is with the U. N. L. A. and its auxiliaries. We have undertaken the great task of liberating a people who are in sore need of liberation—a people very much misrepresented. The Christian Church is here for the purpose of preparing souls in order to recompense our Creator from the heavenly point or spiritual side of life. The U. N. L. A. is here for the purpose of preparing Negroes physically, mentally, financially and otherwise in order to be able to live among our stronger brothers and to recompense our Creator by taking hold and making use of the material side of life. The different organizations have their respective program. They all differ, but this should not alter the fact that there should be a mutual understanding. Show me a sineman or woman of the Negro race who can intelligently disagree with the aims and objects of this organization. You may disagree with the system or method adopted, but this can be rectified sooner or later; therefore we see no reason for such prejudice toward this organization. The Universal African Legion wishes to become acquainted with all organizations of a law-abiding nature in order that brotherly love, which is so dear to God and man, might prevail in its fullest sense. Our headquarters are located at Liberty Hall, 120 West 138th street, New York. Respectfully yours. COL. L. B. HARRIGAN. Military Commander 1st New York. By G. EMONEI CARTER Text: "And, when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it." Numbers xi:9. Subject: "Dews and Mannas of Life." Yet the people were not satisfied. It has been remarked that life is an apprenticeship to resignation; often, I fear, it is an unsuccessful apprenticeship. It not life also an apprenticeship to appreciation of God's mercies? Gratitude is one of life's finest goals. Israel represents humanity in its pitiful failure to realize the goodness of Divine Providence. In connection with our text we read that "the people complained," they "tell a-lusting," they "wept," petulant tears; they indulged in perverse retrospect; they murmured at their daily fare. It is by way of casting a more vivid light on the ingratitude of the people that we find recorded this beautiful description of God's mercies: "When the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it." Let us see if a study of God's mercies will not make prose of life seem less like prose. I. Here Are Usual and Unusual Mercies Dew is usual; manna is unusual. So it was in the history of Israel. When they were in Egypt dew fell, but not manna. Then when they had reached Canaan the dew fell, but manna ceased, Dew falls everywhere and always; not so manna. In this great wide and often terrible wilderness how wonderfully come usual and now unusual mercies: History repeats itself. We still have dew and manna. There is a remarkable association of the usual and unusual in the gifts of life, and it is hard to say which is the more precious. The sad fact is that we often fail to appreciate either class of mercies. Are we hot too often fatally unappreciative of our accustomed blessings? We note them as little as the dew. Yet what would the world be without its nightly baptism of dew? What would nature become without its distillation of dews? Much more, what would become of those lands where rain is less frequent were the benefene dew to cease? Israel could not have endured the wilderness without the silent potency of dew which fell nightly by night so faithfully. It is a parable of our habitual mercies. Regular and unremitting as the dewfall are the majority of our mercies. "What would life be without the daily or nightly benefections? Often let us gratefully consider the inestimable value of our dew-like mercies. "The dew fell" for Israel and it fell for us. The outstretched life, the maintained health, the sustained reason, the the flow of good spirits, the perpetuated home, the unbroken family, daily work, nightly sleep, a sense of forgiveness, Jesus, the "illuminable God," ever living. Oh how regular and usual are God's mercy! How the dew falls! Constant the Father's gift! Constant be His children's praise! But what of our unusual mercy? Is there nothing in our life answering to the mauna? Do these never come to the land of our life, the perhaps, desert of our life—blessings, manlike, in that they fall, not everywhere nor always? We have the dew. Yes, and we often have the mauna. "The mama fell." You recovered from that illness. You got out of that scrap. A great love filled your life. "The mama fell." The little child was born. You had supernatural comfort in that sorrow. Thank God for unusual mercies. "If we traverse a wilderness we taste mama." "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." In our sacred and unusual mercies we shall find "matter eternity to all with ever growing praise." II. Here Are Natural and Spiritual Mercies Dew is a natural blessing, manna represents a spiritual good. One is according to the established course of nature; the one or a supernatural gift of God. Manna in New Testament metaphor, distinctly a spiritual gift. So my text typifies the natural and spiritual merces of life. And yet the distinction between natural and spiritual is largely man-made. To the Christian it is almost impossible to differentiate between the two spheres. The same Lord is over both. Where does the natural end and the spiritual begin? Beware of excluding the spiritual from the natural. That is a common trick today. God is behind the dew as surely as the manna. The spiritual represents the supernatural but not the unnatural. Do not be deceived as to the phrase "laws of nature." As Joseph Cook applies says, natural laws are "God's mask, and can never be His competitors." "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" in everything. Keeping that qualification in view, how sweet to know that we have the dew and the manna—the natural and the spiritual! We need both: business and church, the ledger and the Bible, sense and grace, what is more immediately of earth and what is more directly of heaven—dew and manna. Which do you value most? Do you see God in both? While you rejoice in the gentle baptisms of dew, be careful to rejoice still more in the ethereal food—God's table in the wilderness, of which only God's Israel eats. While Louis Firpo's spectacular eight-round knockout victory over Jesi Willard came as a surprise to me, still I am certain that the best man won. The surprise was due to a suspicion that Willard was scheduled to win the honors. Commercialism plays a far too prominent part in present-day ring affairs, and the bout looked suspicious to me. It will be recalled that Willard came on here with the expectation of being matched with his 'conqueror', Jack Dempsey. He swore that he would fight Dempsey or no one, and despite a deal of persuasion and ridicule, seemed determined to stick to his guns. But Tex Rickard, at the eleventh hour, managed to induce Jesi to stay and matched him with Floyd Johnson for the Milk Fund Demc. Now, what kind of argument did Rickard, advance to Jess that would cause the ex-champ to so suddenly do a right-about-face? And here is where my curiosity was uroused. Well, after the knockout-victory scored by the big Kansas over young Floyd Johnson last May, I began to have my suspicions as to what Rickard whispered into Willard's ear. And my suspicions made me view Thursday's result in a doubtful light. I had figured Willard to win a newspaper decision, and the right to meet the champion, Jack Dempsey. And once again I read the cards wrong. The McMahon Brothers If Harry Wills ever mingles fluvious gloves with Jack Dempsey in this State no little credit will be due to the courageous stand taken by the McMahon brothers, Jess and Eddie, who pilot the Commonwealth Sporting Club here in upper Harlem. These boys have taken the initiative in putting on mixed bouts and have given the local sport world some high-class matches. And by putting on the bout between Bill Tate and Tom Cowler they have paved the way for Harry Wills to meet Dempsey for the heavy-weight championship. The State Boxing Commission will find it a difficult matter now to sidetrack Harry after permitting the Tate-Cowler heavy-weight scrap. Edwards at the Polo Grounds Dannie Edwards, the dapper little bantamweight, now a resident of the big metropolis, has been matched to swap punches with his old foe, Irish Johnnie Curtain. The boys will meet in the semi-final to the Dundee-Cruijal affair at the Polo Grounds, July 26. Tom O'Rourke, who plotted the pug-ristle, greets of the great George Dixon, the black demon; Joe Walcott, and several lesser lights, has always favored the colored fighter. Tom is fighting mighty hard to force Dempsey into a bout with Harry Wills and may yet be successful. At any rate O'Rourke has made a ten-strike, an ace-high play, that will do much to increase the gate. Danny and Curtain are fast, aggressive little mixers, game and able to stand the gaff. And both will have a ghost of admirers on hand shouting encouragement. THE RED. BLACK AND GREEN The national colors, these. Green is the earth, relieved of dearth. And Black is just my hue; Red is my blood, and ready to flood Whenever and where it's due. The Red and Green, with 'Black, between, I hail with sacred joy.

JOHNSON PICKS TRIO TO INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 16.—Jack Johnson, Negro pugilist and former heavyweight champion, discussed the ring sport with county officials today while attempting to obtain the release of his automobile, which was attached by the Sheriff while he was appearing here in vaudeville in 1921. "There are three people in the world who can knock out Jack Dempsey," the former champion asserted. "They are Firpo, Harry Wills and Jack Johnson."

WUPPERMAN 12 East 60th St., New York City ONLY MEM OF VISION ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS The following is a copy of a letter sent to the Chicago Defender, the Whip, and the Enterpriser of Seattle, as it fits them all, although it is an answer to an editorial in the Enterpriser of Seattle, "The Dream That Proved a Nightmare." In the first place, Garvey did not style himself "the Moses of his people." The nickname was given him by the outside public, and he was duly elected president-general of the U. N. I. A. by delegates sent to the convention in New York from all parts of the world. This true, however, that Garvey has a vision, and we thank God that at least one black man has a vision. In all ages those who have advanced the cause of humanity have been men and women "possessed," in the opinion of their neighbors. See the great Dante, in exile, condemned to be burned alive on false charges of embezzlement. Look at his starved features, gaunt form, melancholy, a poor wanderer. But he never gave up his ideal. Columbus was exposed to confinement, scouts and indignities, being ridiculed as a "mere dreamer" and stigmatized as an adventurer, the very children being taught to regard him as a madman. Noah, in building the ark; Moses, in espousing the cause of the Israelites; Christ; in living and dying to save a fallen race, incurred the scorn of the rich and "highly educated," in common with all great benefactors. Yet in every age and clime men and women have been willing to incur poverty, hardships, toll, ridicule, persecution, even death, if thereby they might shed light or comfort upon the path which all must walk from the cradle to the grave. In fact, it is doubtful whether a man can perform very great service to mankind who is not permeated with a "dream" or a great purpose, with an overmastering idea. You evidently do not understand the movement, as Garvey does not want to move 14,000,000 Negroes out of America to Africa. What he wants is "nationality" for the protection of Negroes everywhere. I was born in America myself, but I am for the cause of Africa at home as well as abroad. As we had no control over our birth, the same slave ship that left Garvey's ancestors in West Indies left ours in America. We are all of the same stock and Africa our common mother. Even though Garvey has fallen, as you term it, we have gained much through his fall, and we are more determined to If You W LUCKY, HAPPY TELL YOUR SECRETS Happy in Friend SPELLS OF ALL KINDS H Medical Preparations for Co SPELLS OF ALL KINDS RELEASED AND BROKEN LOVE APPLES IN ALL FORMS High John the Conqueror All kinds of highly appreciated roots are CASH ORDER I Will Credit You It Matters D.

May God send us more men of Marcus Garvey's type, who are not afraid to say it can be done when all the world says no, who have the courage of their convictions, men of courage who are not cowards in any part of their mature, men whose hands are deft, whose eyes are alert, sensitive, microscopic. And then, you say, it will be a long time before another Negro of Garvey's sort arises.

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"?

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.

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.

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.

Long Life Tonic 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.

As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been found guilty by a jury of white men of using the United States mails to defraud. Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. General Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing. An appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund. The fight for Africa's liberty is just begun; let us all help. Send in your subscription addressed to the Secretary, Marcus Garvey Release Committee, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N.Y. I. MARCUS GARVEY, have appointed Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, Mr. William Sherrill and Mr. Clifford Bourne, as a committee to receive and disburse all moneys for my Appeal and Defense Fund. (Signed) MARCUS GARVEY. Michael McKenzie, Puerto Castilla, S. Honduras. María Ricardis, Ingenio Rio Cepa, Cube Manuel Gómez, Ingenio Rio Bueno, Cube A Program of Uniting the Negro The Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time is engaged earnestly and assiduously in the program of uniting the Negro—getting the Negro willing—of getting the Negro agreeable in following a plan of racial upift regardless of what the following of that plan may cost. It is engaged at this time in awakening the natives of Africa; it is engaged in laying before Negroes everywhere the fundamental truths regarding their progress; it is engaged at this time in installing into the youths of the race the child in the cradle and the babies in our arms—that love for race that issue for force and coming generations will bear fruit from the propaganda that the Universal Negro Improvement Association preaches at this particular time. France, England and the great nations of the world at this particular time are not only engaged in presenting the immediate 'territories' they occupy, but I was reading an article the day before yesterday in the New York Times, where it is stated that France is now engaged in a great program for connecting her African continent with the great Republic of France in order that she might be able to transport troops across the Sahara Desert and in order that she might be able to bring from the bowels of the territories she occupies the precious stones, woods and oils, in order that she might be able to build up in Africa a mighty French Republic that some day will top the great French Republic which now stands. England today is not satisfied with the little surroundings in which she lives; she is pushing into Australia, into India; she is pushing her iron claw throughout the continent of Africa and attempting to bring beneath her iron heel the land of our forest trees and the land of our children to come. What does that mean? It means that when the great war, which is inevitable comes—when the great conflict between the races comes—France is going to use black men fighting for France against black men fighting for England. America is going to use black men fighting for America against black men fighting for some other great government, and just as France in this past war kept her white soldiers back and sent her black soldiers in front a cannon fodder and as shock absorbible to fight the cause of France, in the great conflict that the white world seeks inevitable they are marshalling the blacks on the fields of Africa not to fight for African illiteration or African redemption, but to fight the battles for the white peoples of the world. Marshalling the Blacks for Liberation of Africa It is this thing that the Universal Negro Improvement Association aces; it is this conflict they know is inevitable and we are organizing the Negro in order that when this great conflict comes, instead of blacks being marshalled to fight for England—instead of blacks being marshalled to fight for France, instead of blacks being marshalled to fight for America—blacks will be marshalled to make one united stand for the liberation of the great pioneers of these brethren. (Applied). The Universal Human Improvement Association knows that at the time the Negro is not fully grahened, but if such things continue as is told you by the Secretary General, the commission charts into the continent of Africa and the continuance of organizing divisions, the time is not far distant when the African will come into a full realization of the mighty force which lies quiescent within him. Already reading the papers from Africa we note that the African is speaking today with a holdenness that he dared not speak a few years ago; the African through his newspapers is talking of things that he dared not talk a few years ago; the African today is speaking out because he feels the power and force of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and he hears the cry of Marcus Garvey, "Go on, African, we in the West 'odles and we in America are with you!" Unification of Negro Strength It is that unification of Negro strength that is giving strength and force to the movements of Negroes today. It is this unification of Negro strength that is bringing about much discussion in the white periodicals, and white journals, because the white world sees the handwriting on the wall and they know that the day of white domination is doomed. The white world in the last two hundred years has pushed its domination to all parts of the world until today she stands the undisputed controller of the world. Perhaps the Negro would not be so anxious, perhaps the Negro would not be stirred and moved to such activity if the Negro could know it. past experience that, regardless of who controls the world, he would get every right and every privilege which belongs to him. But his past affiliation with the white man in America, in England and in France has taught him that whenever he comes in contact with the white man, whether it be in America, the West Indies or Africa, he feels the cruel 'oppression upon his neck. You are only exploited and robbed and intimidated and humiliated in America; the same thing happens when white men begin to go by the thousands to the continent of Africa. What Will Be the Future Course of the Negro? Under these conditions, the Negro today is deciding his future course. What will be the future course of 100,000,000 Negroes in the face of the fact that the world is organizing for the purpose of protecting each individual interest? What will be the future course of the Negroes when they see France increasing her navy and army and her airplane force—when they see England increasing her powers of force? Laying a Foundation for Force and Power The future course of the Negro's progress will be laying the foundation for power—the laying of a foundation for force that will be second to no great force he will come up against. To go back or to stop does not help our cause; the Negro is determined to press on. We may as well press on, for to stand where we are means death; to go back means death to the Negro race; to press on we can get nothing more than death, and we would rather die 400,000,000 of us fighting for freedom, for independence and for liberty, than to die 400,000,000 cowards trying to speak to some hole of protection. Marcus Garvey Has Turned the Negro Around It is this spirit that has prompted the Negroes everywhere to be up and doing. It is the spirit preached by Marcus Garvey that has turned the Negro around and has him facing in a new direction and has given him a new determination. The Negro is tired of living under governments and not having an opportunity to hope for the highest and biggest things under that government. If the Negro lives under the rule of the English government he dare not hope for the biggest things the English government has to give; if the Negro lives under the rule of the French government he dare not hope for the biggest things the French government has to give; if the Negro lives under the rule of the American government he does not hope for the biggest things the American government has to give, and yet he has the same budding ambitions, the same budding desires to accomplish and to enjoy that other men have to accomplish and enjoy. We have decided that if white mothers can put their boys on the back and encourage them by pointing to them the places of importance under their government; if brown men can put their children on the back and encourage them by pointing to them the highest points of statesmanship under their government, the black mothers who form a group of the noblest mothers the world has ever seen, shall be able to put their boys and girls on the backs and point to them the highest point of statesmanship in the great African Republic, or the manhood of the Negro race will report to God the reason why. (Great applause.) The Negro Just as Serious Now as Before The Negro in this movement is just as serious today as he was the day Marcus Garvey launched it. The Negro today is determined that nothing will turn him back. He has counted the cost; we know what the cost of freedom will be; we know what the cost of independence will be; we know that Marcus Garvey is not the only Negro who is going to jail; we know there are other Negros going to jail before the program of this organization is put over; not only are they going to jail but to the hangman's noose and electric chair—we have counted the cost to the extent that we know some Negros are going to be compelled to lay down their lives. What do we care if it comes to laying down of a few Negros' lives for freedom and independence? We are willing to pay that price. (Applause.) The Negro Today is Awakened. The Negro to-day is an awakened Negro; the Negro today is a new Negro; the Negro today is a deter- By WILLIAM H. FERRIS, A.M. The action of the committee of eight eminent American architects, painters and sculptors in denying Miss Augusta Savage permission to accompany a party of American students to France to attend the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts under the patronage of the French Government on account of color has attracted international attention. Following closely upon the attempt of President Abbott Lawrence Lowell to bar the son of Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce from the freshman dormitories at Harvard, it indicates a delicate phase and aspect of the so-called American face problem. The Harvard situation was disposed of by the Harvard Board of Governors deciding to admit colored students to the freshman dormitories and to maintain the traditional Harvard policy of freedom from race and religious prejudice and adherence to high meals of culture. But the case of Miss-Augusta Savage involved more delicate social relations than that of students rooming in the same dormitories because, it involves the question of social equality, which hovers in the background whenever the American Negro's civic or political status is discussed. The question of social equality does not enter into the matter of students of different races rooming in the same dormitories and dining in the same dining hall, because there is no compulsion for you to shower social interactions upon the man who lives next door to you or eats in the same dining hall. The case of Miss Augusta Savage was somewhat different. She is a member of a race which is socially ostracized in America. She halts from Florida, where she and her race are forced to ride in Jimi Crow cars. In accompanying a party of American students to France, two embarrassing situations might arise. Either the other students would have to admit her to private parties and social and semi-social functions, and recognize Miss Savage as a social equal, or else they would have to har her from private parties, social and semi-social functions, and hence force her to realize that she was colored. Some of the American students would not feel at case in recognizing Miss Savage as a social equal and, at the same time, would not feel at case in slighting her socially and forcing her to realize that she was colored. Now, If Miss Savage should take clay bronze or marble, and under her detach should produce a masterpiece she could get a good price for it, and her picture and career would appear in daily newspapers and weekly and monthly magazines. But going across the big pond with a selected group of American artists would give Miss Savage a certain amount of social prestige and standing. And the Americans, some of whom would buy the products of her brain and hand, were not quite ready to recognize as a social equal one whom they regard as a Negress. They are not prejudiced against Miss Savage as a sculptress, but they decamped the semblance of social equality, and did not desire to be forced to recognize as a social equal a member of a supposedly inferior race. Miss Helen Hagan, a colored girl, won the $2,000 George Sanford Musical Fellowship from the Yale School of Music in 1913, which permitted her to study music for two years in Parts But she traveled alone and formed her own associates in Paris. If she went with a party of American musicians to Paris, the same social and some-social problems would arise which have been to the front in the case of Miss Augusta Savage. Unfortunately the social question obliterates itself whichever the Negro's mined Negro, and those who think they can treat with the Negro as of old; those who think they can fool the Negro; those who think they can put the Negro off his proper course as of old are mistaken in their conclusion; for the Negro today has turned his attention toward Africa; he is gazing toward that land of his forefathers... that land with wealth unlimited and soil untitled; her regions beckon for a leader; for an explorer. An African Republic a Necessity. An African republic in the light of the Negroos' awakening is an absolute necessity; the ambitions of black men serv for it; their economic growth calls for it; their desire for nationhood—their desire for achievement necessitates a great African republic and we have entered this fight to stay; we have entered this fight not to stop until Negroos have been freed and redeemed. I want to say I am proud of the spirit manifested by the members of this great organization, not only in New York but all over the country. I receive letters every day from various divisions in the form of resolutions and otherwise saying, that "we just want to let you know that we are still with Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Assn." (Applause.) "We just want to let you know that we are standing for the cause; we are taking in new members, opening up new chapters and are more determined today to press on to the mark of the high calling which is before us." I say to you, press on; keep the faith; fight on, for the day is not far distant when black men will take their place among the great nations of the world. (Great applause.) status in America is considerer. That is to easy, a great many Americans feel that in recognizing the Negro as a man, the same as other men, in according him recognition as a scientist, inventor, scholar, poet, novelist, sculptor, artist or musician, they are recognizing him as a social equal and according him social equality. Distinguished American Negro Artists and Actors Negro artists and musicians have appeared upon the accee who won recognition both in "America and Europe. Some forty-odd years ago Mr. M. E. Bannister of Providence, R. I. painted a painting, "Under the Oaks," or "A New England Pasture," which was awarded the first gold medal at the great Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1876. That painting afterwards sold for $1,500. Edmonia Lewis was a colored sculpture whose figure of "Hagar in the Wilderness," whose two groups representing, Longfellow's "Hiawatha," whose Madonna with the infant, Christ and two adoring angels, and whose busts of Longfellow and John Brown, and whose medallion portrait of Wendell Phillips brought her deserved fame. Her Madonna was bought by the Marquis of Butte Disregard's Lothair. Henry O. Tanner was an American Negro two of whose paintings hang in the famous Luxembourg Galleries of France. One of these, "The Raising of Lazarius," was purchased by the French government. His picture "The Disciples at the Tomb" was awarded the W. Harris prize of $500 in Chicago in the fall of 1906 for the best painting at the exhibition of American painters, held in the Art Institute. The award was unanimous on the part of the art committee. His "Beer in the Adrienne-dacks" and "Flight into Egypt" were purchased by wealthy cosmeisers. His "Stephen Before the Councill" was painted for the Paris Exposition of 1906. Mr. Tanner was also awarded the Walter Lippincott prize for 1904 at the exhibition of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Then there was Ira Aldridge, the Negro tragladiian, who played Othello to Kean's Iago, who captivated Covent Garden and the Surrey Theatre in England, who dazzled Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Vienna, The Hague, Kongsberg²⁷ Dresden, Frankfurt-on-the-Main and other European towns, who received decorations from the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Russia, and who was made a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Imperial Academy of Arts and Sciences in St. Petersburg. These were all American Negroes. Distinguished Foreign Negros Who Were Musicians and Writers George Aug. Braigetower was a famous colored violinist of London, who was the friend of Beethoven, the protege of the Prince of Wales, the man whose skill with the bow dazzled England and Vienna and who distinguished himself at the Haydn, Salomon and Bartlesenow Concerts. Brudus de Sabor was another brilliant Negro violinist who was decorated by the crowned heads of Europe. And then there was Prof. White of Cuba, a distinguished Alumnus, and winner of first prizes at the Conservatory of Paris. He afterward became the head of the Conservatory of Music in Brazil. We must remember that Chevalier: Georges was one of the most famous swordmen and musicians in France in the days of Louis XVI. French aristocracy attended his duels, fencing bouts and concerts. Abbe Grimoire in his Enquiry, says of him: "His bow and his foil set all Paris in motion." He was knighted by Louis XVI. Then we must remember Samuel Coleridge Taylor, the colored English renaissance whose "Hawthorn" gave him world fame. It was played one Saturday in the Woolsey auditorium of Yale University. His Epidymion's Dream was played one evening in the Jamaica Brighton Musical Festival, which lasted one week. Then we must remember that Qoushkin is recognized among the famous Russian poets. His statue stands in St. Petersburg. The centennial of his birth was recognized in Russia. We must remember, too, that Alexander Dumas pere, a quadruple, won world fame as a novelist, and that Alaina Marais Dumas fils, an auteur, was international renown as a playwright. And we all know that Rene Maran recently won the famous Goncourt prize. In recognizing the worth and work of Tanner, Aldridge, Bridgewater, De Saio, White, St. Georges, Coloridere Taylor, Pourkin, Alexander Dumas pere, Ariander Dumas fils, and Maran, Europe was not thinking of recognising them socially, but of recognising them artists, actors, musicians and men of letters. And this is it should be. This is the paradox of the race question in America. The Negro is not regarded as a full-fedded man, the same as other men, but as a being who is a little higher than the more intelligent of the lower animals, and a little lower than the rest of mankind. When they think of a Negro they do not think of him as a man. Just as they assign dogs and horses to their place, so they have a particular niche for the Negro to fill, and they do not desire him to get out of his place. And any attempt to recognize him as a man, scientist, scholar, poet, artist or musician, is regarded as recognizing him socially. Well, scientific, literary, artistic and musical achievements do lift a man or woman's social prestige. But the sort of social and semi-social recognition which is given to distinguished achievements is not exactly equivalent to that social selection by which we take men and women into our homes and families and social sets. The time will ultimately come in America when a... Necro scientist, scholar, poet, artist and musician will be recognized for his deeds and achievements, his genius and character, without the question of his social status being brought in. Genius, talent and character will force their way and win recognition, even though they shine through a dusky skin. The Tuskegee Dilemmg The attempt of the Ku Klux Klan to determine whether black or white surgeons should be in charge of the vet-geran hospital for ek-Negro soldiers at Tuskegee has aroused the fire of the Negro press. But it seems to me that the colored editors are showing considerable more bindsight than forsight. When we reflect that an overwhining majority of the caucasian citizens of Alabama, regard with disfavor the big' or education and higher aspirations of the Negro, it can be readily seen that to their way of thinking to place Negro physicians and surgeons in charge of a magnificent hospital, supported by the government, would give the Negro too much prestige and honor and elevate him above his "natural sphere" of being a power of wood and drawer of water. Fek this reason border States like Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland, where the sentiment is more favorable to the Negro, would have regarded more favorably black physicians and surgeons as supervisors over a Negro hospital. The Case of Marcus Garvey. The difficulty, with much of the discussion regarding Marcus Garvey and the Black Star Line resides in the fact that the former is discussed as if he were an omniscient and omnipotent God instead of a man, brave and brilliant, but human and liable to err, and the latter, the steamship line, is discussed as if it were a divine institution, under the special patronage of the Almighty, and hence immune from the perils of the sea, the fluctuations of the market, the intense competition and the slump in shipping which other steamship lines have encountered; To me Marcus Garvey is a remarkable personality. He represents a type of great man which sometimes makes mistakes but also does big things. The men with the mind to conceive vast designs and the will to put their cohesal plans into operation have been the makers of human history. The predominant characteristic of Marcus Garvey is that he is not only a dreamer and a builder of air castles, but that he also has the will to do and the courage to dare. Hence he represents the heroic type of human personality. His contemporaries judge him by what he actually accomplished and by what he failed to accomplish. But postery will judge him also by what he aspired to and to do. Whatever the final legal outcome, he will live in Negro history as a man of limits, aspiration and boundless ambition. The U. N. J. A. And what shall we say of the U. N. A. 2? It is a big organization with tremendous driving power. It has momentum because it represents mass multiplied by velocity, numbers backed by an ardent enthusiasm and crusading zeal. All that it needs are skillful direction and wise guilting, and it will not only be powerful but all-powerful in lifting the status of the black man everywhere. It is a young institution. Its growth and development have been miraculous. The rapidity and ease with which it formed and organized divisions and corralled and mobilized members star- fied the civilized world. It can only accomplish everything in the brief times of five and a half years. But give it time and it will kill its resitious energy and splendid enthusiasm in realizing a practical program.

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 Informacion General REQUISTOS, NECESARIOS PARA SER MIEMBRO DE LA "ASOCIACION UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA."

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 ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` The Strongest Lodestones are found in the forbidding hills of the theretofore those from Dannemor, but are cared for their scarcity is that sea captains.

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.

"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.

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. 1 beg to remain. AMY JACQUES-GARVEY. July 16, 1923. 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. ROBERT L. POSTON. Bury-Gen.
