The Negro World

The Independent Weekly The Voice of the Authered Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XIV. No. 24 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1923 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN CREDIT SEVEN CENTS ALSO IN CREDIT TEN CENTS IN CREDIT NEGROES DIG GRAVES FOR EACH OTHER UNDER THE GUISE OF RACE LEADERSHIP Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: It is said somewhere that "men hate the excellence they cannot attain," and this is implied to be one of the chief reasons why so many would-be Negro leaders and leaderettes take delight in attacking Marcus Garvey on everything under the sun. Insignificant Critics Some of the people who find delight in attacking Garvey have never met him, know nothing about him, and have never contributed one cent to any of the organizations with which he is identified. Others, unfortunate to say, are people who, if they had any decency, would have been the last to utter words of condemnation against him or against others who have done some work to their credit in service to the race. Among some of the insignificant critics who have been using the Negro press and other agencies to create prejudice against Garvey and to point the finger at him as the "bad fellow" are such "worthies" as "Bra" Pickens and "Cus" Harrison. Is Pickens Sore? Is Pickens still sore because he made a muddle of his application to Garvey for a job, even when he was most willing to help the poor fellow who then, no doubt, was TOO BLACK to properly satisfy the aims of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? Why should Pickens try to return a kindness with a blow? "Bra," is this gratitude? ison, has he forgotten, while writing to the "Kangaroo Garvey and fambusting him on the steps of Harlem, to mention that he has not yet quit" and other clothes, or paid for them, for which we paid so as to fix up "somebody" on the clothesless mission to Liberia that did not look so foolish then? Does "Cus" forget that he worked for us until his conceit, egotism and rudeness made him unbearable, and even after he was dismissed wrote and sent messages asking to be used on our papers? Has "Cus" forgotten that he wasn't above then working for us until he was dismissed for cause? Has "Cus" forgotten that his Liberty League came up like smoke and departed as such after collecting all the available pennies without leaving anything behind but his continuous lying reference that Marcus Garvey got his ideas of organization from him and his Liberty League, when, in fact, Garvey never met "Cus" until the fall of 1918, four years after Garvey had founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League? Doing Nothing Gentlemen, if by your own abilities you can't do something for yourselves that would last and stand out, why lie about other people's work and try to take credit for deeds you never accomplished? Oh, you green-eyed monster-JEALOUSY! Who could learn anything from "Cus" Harrison? Does "Cus" Harrison think Harlem has forgotten the large sums of money he collected for "The Voice," etc.? And, pray, who did own "The Voice" after the collections? And, pray, where are the balance sheets of all these collections? Say, "Cus" Harrison, the Black Star Line had balance sheets, account books, etc., which could be found when asked for and produced; but, "Cus," suppose we ask you to turn over your books and balance sheets, would you do us the little favor of giving us the details? Questioning the Critics Now tell us, you men who criticize, from Du Bois, Pickens, Owen, Randolph, Briggs, "Domingo" [would someone not look up the record and investigate thoroughly to find out if this is the Domingo alleged to have renounced his citizenship after having taken out papers so as to evade the draft during the war? If so, then we would like to know the standing of this gentleman in American politics and society, and also to know of his standing with the one or two men alleged to form the "Crusader Service" that sends out doctored and false news from New York to the Negro press from week to week. It is also alleged that "Cus" was not a citizen during the war for convenience. But no one knows what he is now. Some say a Dane, others say a citizen of himself, and still we know not what he is], Kelly Miller, Bagnall, White to Harrison, how many of you can stand up under half the investigation and persecution Marcus Garvey has undergone? Tell us, gentlemen, if the authorities took you from the days you were born up to the present, how would you stand? If you had Garvey's positions, gentlemen, what do you think the record would show? Gentlemen, it is easy to criticize and condemn, but, ah, what of yourselves? What Negro institution do you think, instituted and undermined and over-investigated like the Black Star Line TRY TO CLIMB UP ON THE BACKS OF OTHERS ASK FOR "THE CRUSADER," "THE LIBERATOR" AND "THE VOICE" Crusader Service and Harrison Criticize, but Have Nothing to Show for Money They Collected From Public for Paper and Magazine TRY TO DESTROY GARVEY, WHOSE WORK IS VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE—ENEMIES LIKELY TO HAVE SEARCHLIGHT TURNED UPON THEM, AND THEN— Suppose Public Should Start Asking Questions About Garvey's Critics—Flinging Stones May Smash Your Window THE "SANHEDRIN" AND ITS ONE MILLION DOLLARS Is Cyril Brigga, the Crusader Man, the Secretary? and Garvey, could stand? With enemies and spies placed in office, with spies and enemies elected even to offices as Vice-Presidents and Secretaries, which institution do you think could stand the test of the Black Star Line? Not Judging Our Fellow Men But, gentlemen, we would not stop to judge our fellow men, for do you not know that there are greater rogues outside the jail than many of the unfortunates who are in? Oh, you fellows who criticize, show us what you have done. Show us the organizations and institutions you have founded and made successful. Now, gentlemen, show us your successful steamship lines and U. N. I. A.'s and banks and big businesses. When you can point to your own achievements, then, and then only, will your criticism count for something. How many of you, gentlemen, if any, are not trying to build up at the expense of Garvey? How is the "Sanhedrin"? "Isn't the 'Sanhedrin' really a modern counterpart of that ancient cabal that plotted against Christ?" No, this is an "All-Race Conference !!!" And who is the Secretary, the Bolshevik agent who is making a "stroke" to turn them all over to Moscow? Is this the reason why Professor Miller glories in the conviction of Garvey? But does Professor Miller forget that he told Garvey that he is not interested in the Negro race, but humanity? We are all interested in humanity, Professor, but are we not really living in the age of "man, mind thyself"? Is "humanity" lynched, burned, Jim-crowed and segregated, Professor, or Negroes? Need of Race Leaders By God, we need leaders, but we have to find them in a new generation. Each so-called leader of today is jealous of the other fellow, and for the purpose of getting even with him will even plot to send him to prison so as to gloat over it and make of it a holiday and an opportunity to come out in the limelight. Elected to Office Now, listen, leaders. Some of you say that Garvey was self-appointed. You know that is a lie. You know that Garvey has been the first so-called leader who ever got elected from the popular vote of an organized assembly. You know Garvey was never appointed. Why not come fair? Which of you was ever elected by the popular will of the people to lead? Which of you can stand the test of the popular vote for race leadership? Tell us which of you do you think the people would trust with any large sums of money. If the people did not trust you it was not Garvey's fault. Every one of you who criticize was before the people before Garvey appeared. What did you do during all that time? It is no wonder that you are jealous, but, remember, it is not Garvey's fault. If the people didn't trust you before you plotted to place Garvey in jail it is not likely that they will trust you now. Say, fellows, the "Sanhedrin" is asking for $1,000,000, we believe, to capitalize itself, not by selling. stock (because Garvey got in jail for selling stock in a steamship line that really had three ships, and on which the money was spent), but by subscriptions; we mean, free gifts. "Well, Garvey got the people to subscribe freely to the U. N. I. A." "We have jailed him." "We will get all these people to let us have the subscriptions." That's all right. Oh, friends, do you know one Mr. Briggs is Secretary of the "Sanhedrin"? Is that the Crusader man, that paper that collected donations to run the monthly magazine "Crusader" and collected to print a weekly paper called the "Liberator"? "Where are they?" "What do you mean?" "The 'Crusader' and the 'Liberator,' of course." "Oh, cut that stuff. Did you expect to see them on the newsstands now?" "Well, we were waiting for the 'Sanhedrin'." One million dollars, that is the mark for all new Negro organizations. "We have the money first, though, and then, boys, we will work 'some' afterwards." Can you imagine the "new crowd" at the "Sanhedrin" with a million dollars? The Price of Leadership Interpret leadership as you may, but some fellows can really play safe. When Garvey was struggling without pay, and even without food, after he had nearly exhausted all to make the U. N. I. A., no one criticized him except to say that he was a fool to waste his time and money serving an ungrateful people. But Garvey did not falter, because he had better confidence in the people. He knew that they were not entirely ungrateful, and he was not wrong, in the light of recent events. The ingratitude was only on the part of those who received, and not those who gave. "Did you receive a job and then turn against your employer, then you are ungrateful. Did somebody pay for the debt you are ungrateful." Garvey has built up a big organization and shown the way, that is the time to attack him." "Put him out of the way, and then the "Sanhedrin,' gentlemen." "But what about the million dollars?" "Ask the 'Crusader.'" Dig the grave for the other fellow and you fall into it yourself. What do the conceited, so-called educated "intellectuals" hope to gain by trying to buy Garvey? Do they not know that it is only a question of time when they also will be buried? But it is said somewhere again that the fellow who laughs last laughs best. If you plot to put Garvey in jail, somebody is working a plot to put you there also, and, then, no end of the eternal "triangle." Let the world know that Garvey is as happy in jail as out, when his conscience is clear and clean; and, thank God, up to now he has no cause to doubt himself. Some men go to jail for their principles and are satisfied to stay there and die there, if needs be; others go there because they wanted all in advance, even the "Sanhedrin" and a million dollars. Brothers, take a friendly advice, work first and get your pay afterwards. It is hoped that the "Sanhedrin" will start itself on sacrifice and faith and leave the million dollars as a free will offering by the people, as a token of appreciation for the work that is well done. Big Political Program Members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to celebrate the first and thirty-first of August in all divisions this year. All local divisions are requested at their two or three-day conventions in their local districts to request all members and friends to take an active part in the shaping of the organization's political program for 1923-24. We expect every member to be of one political mind in the period ahead of us, for for the first time we shall prove that one million Negroes can vote together and on a principle. Pushing the Organization Ahead Line up your local divisions for the work that is ahead, for great things are to be accomplished. Don't mind what the other fellow is saying and doing. Remember you have your program and we must go through. Rally to the call of the Parent Body and let us go flying "over the top" for the higher achievements of the race: With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY. President-General. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. Tombs Prison, Centre Street, July 24, 1923. VOICE OF THE PRESS JOINS IN THE GENERAL PROTEST ery Business Man Using the Mails Is on the Road to the Penitentiary DANGER OF THE PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED IS BEING FULLY REALIZED of the Atlanta Independent Points Out That Owing to the Very Unfavorable Sentiment Created in New York by Would-Be Leaders of the Negro Race Garvey Did Not Get a Fair and Impartial Trial The Men Who Are Rejoicing Now May Find That Like Haman They Have Built a Gallows Upon Which to Hang Themselves, as Some in Business Today May Be in a Similar Plight Tomorrow. Who Knows? BURSTING OF THE BUBBLE OF DUBOISISM AND BEGINNING OF THE END OF A CARPING CRITIC Some notable utterances have been made with reference to the injustice shown Marcus Garvey in denying him ball, both from the pulpit and the platform. The preachers were the first to enter the list in the cause of the great Negro nationalist leader, and they raised their voices, in no uncertain sound. All who had the good fortune to hear the Rev. Dr. Moses, as well as the thousands who thrilled to the telling aphorisms uttered by him from reading his orations in the columns of The Negro World, will never forget the emotions they aroused. Few of us who heard him can forget the forceful logical review of the case made by Prof. D. E. Tohlan, the scholarly publicist, who was among the first of those outside the ranks of the U. N. I. A. to come unassisted to the call. And while there have been a few hired swash-bucklers who had to gratify the desires of those who employ them, a few who, from sheer jealousy, had to vent their spleen when they believed their foe could not hit back, and still a few others whose bump of destructiveness is so developed that they cannot miss an opportunity, so display the mischievous knacking every who who is so willing or achieved what they know they are not capable of going—while these have taken the advantage of giving expression to their malignity, the general trend of public opinion has veered on the side of Marcus Garvey, and has courageously come forward and lined itself up in the cause of justice and righteousness. More, many who previously could not see the force of Garvey's preaching the redemption of Africa, have had the scales removed from their eyes. And those who were foolish enough, and are still foolish PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 14—Dr. Duplissis of the N. A. A. C. P. knocked the opposition to Marcia Garvey and the U. N. I. A. into a cocked hat, when he unquestionably and unalterably came out flat-footed for segregation and "Jim Crow" rule here recently. He practically acknowledged every claim made by Marcus Garvey, when the U. N. I. A. founder was free to room the country and interface with the N. A. A. C. P. globe bottles, carving their bread and butter fighting segregation and Marcus Garvey at the same time. Speaking at Wesley Church to a large, cultured and determined audience of what was supposed to be progressive race men and women, Dr. DuBols said: "We have segregated hospitals, separate churches, race lodges, insurance companies, advertising racial identity, our own undertakers and finally graveyards, where only our blood is buried. Nasal Catarrh is a Dirty, Flthy Disease That bontinal dripping of catarrhal mucus from the head down into the stomach finally poison the whole body, a condition known as systemic catarrh. For many the catarrh is a common region for responses to the trigeminal catarrh condition. Salt Everywhere. Titrate or Liquids enough to believe that the removal of Garvey would result in the disintegration of his great organization, must be gradually realising the impetus given the movement by this perpetration of a constitutional injustice. And as we have broadened the uttered convictions and considered thoughts of the pulpit orators and platform speakers, so today we send out to our thousands of readers in every part of the world some of the thoughtful well-balanced reasonings of the leaders of that section of the coloured press that has proven itself capable of rising above petty meanness are mirror the truth regardless of anything else to those whose opinions they reflect. What Will It Profit Garvey's Enemies? Under the above caption the Atlanta independent says editorially, "We hold no brief of the guilt or innocence of Marcus Garvey. We have no other means of arriving at the fairness of his trial, or the justness of the verdict of the jury, other than what we gleam from the evidence submitted in Judge Mack's court as reported in the press. "To begin with, a presumption of the was in favor of Gauss and he was presumed to be innocent until that presumption was overcome by a preponderance of evidence. The preponderance of evidence must be so overwhelming and conclusive as to exclude every other hypothesis except the hypothesis of guilt. The evidence must convict, beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt in the mind of the jury, as to the guilt of the accused at the bar. They must be convinced to a moral certainty of the guilt of the accused or he must be given the benefit of a doubt. "In the trial a prisoner at the bar, and I, therefore, glory in separate schools." He also said the crisis is a segregated proposition, and will continue to be so. Proceeding further, Dr. Dubois said, "I am proud of Jim Crow schools because my daughter is a product of one." Thus fell the critic of Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey—the old of American Negro intellectuals whose chief glory has been derived from some small social contact with whites, and who have been devoting most of their efforts to getting as far away as possible from heart-to-heart town with the Negro massing in America. And "the bubble of DoeBoltsburt; but its significance, its meaning remains." What is the significance of the confession of the sharpest and most skilful critic of Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey? This question is upon the lips of all the thinking and knowing. Most of them make one answer. They say, "It sustains the theory of Booker T. Washington, and clinches every argument made by Marcus Garvey upon the public platforms of America." They look upon it as a crisis in the changing thought of American Negroes, and as a complete confession that the Negro World of the dreams of Marcus Garvey is essential to the fullest and highest development of the race. Here in Philadelphia, there is an increasing undercurrent of sentiment among thinking Negroes who believe Marcus Garvey has failed because he was persecuted by Negroes who might better have displayed their racial love by trying to co-operate and encourage his efforts. Even those who differed from Garvey believe in the sincerity of the man, and think his disposition was due to his conviction of the insincerity and selfishness of those who made a pretense of wanting to work with him in pushing the program of the U. N. L. A. The sojourn of Dr. DuBois has done away forever with the opposition of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to the program of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. L. A. Many are already conceding that if Garvey and his U. N. L. A. following inaugurated a policy of making friends for their cause, devoted less time and money to fighting the opposition and made some radical changes in their methods and plan of pushing their Negro Nationist program. It would sweep the Negroes of America and the entire world into the plains. the atmosphere and environment of the court and the minds of the public must be taken into consideration. We do not think we say a thing amiss when we say that public opinion in New York demanded the conviction of Garvey, and that the verdict is a satisfactory answer to the demand of unfair sentiment and prejudicial atmosphere. We think that it was impossible for Garvey to have a fair and impartial trial or such a trial as the Federal Constitution guarantees. Garvey was indicted separately, and jointly, for conspiracy to use the malts for fraudulent purposes. Four men were indicted jointly for conspiracy and it is a common principle of law that the act of one conspirator is the act of all, and in order to form a criminal conspiracy there must be two or more people in the conspiracy, for a man cannot conspire by himself. Yet, three of the conspirators were acquitted of the indictment, and one was convicted. If three were innocent, with whom did the guilty one conspire? Indicted jointly and separately. "The Negro press has largely demanded the conviction of Garvey without knowing the facts. A conspiracy was started among many would-be Negro leaders to railroad Garvey into the penitentiary. A few months ago a document was gotten out by a few hotspots in New York asking for a speedy trial and conviction of Garvey. Not that he be tried but that he be convicted and sent to the penitentiary, not to serve the race nor to punish him for crime but to get him out of their way is the view we take of it. Thousands of Negroes in New York, for and against Garvey, created such an unfavorable sentiment as to make a fair trial impossible. To convict a man for using the mails for fraudulent purposes and to allege that he could collect millions of dollars from innocent people and can only find him guilty on one count involving $ from a railroad porter is not very conclusive that the accused is guilty, but it rather makes up a hard-boiled case, and to refuse bail to a man convicted in court and who is entitled to take his case higher up if not satisfied with the verdict below, looks like a denial to the accused of a constitutional trial. It looks like a denial to the right of bail, as provided by the constitution. The offense for which Garvey has been convicted is not capital and is bailable and shows such is the law, why deny him his constitutional right to be bailled out? Why should Mattuck, if there is no feeling in the matter and he is acting in the interest of society, say to the accused that I will permit you to remain in jail pending your appeal providing you will not write any A CASE THAT POINTS A MORAL AND ADORNS A TALE BAIL, GRANTED AFTER CONVICI TION Robert Magender, sixty-eight, former president of the Johnson Shipyards Corporation, was found guilty by a Federal jury in Brooklyn on Friday of adding and abetting frauds of $610,000 against the Mariners' Harbor National Bank of Staten Island. He was convicted on thirty-four counts. The maximum penalty is five years' imprisonment and $5,000 fine on each count, a total of 170 years and $170,000 in fines. Donald L. Magender, indicted jointly with his father on the thirty-four counts on which he was tried, obtained a separate trial at the beginning of the proceedings. The man convicted was president of the Johnson Shipyards Corporation, Sylvanus Redell was its treasurer and also cashier of the bank. Tuesday Bedell testified he had defrauded the bank of more than $600,000 in the three years he was bushier, and had cashed checks for the Johnson Shipyards Corporation when that concern had no funds in bank. Magruder, on the witness stand Thursday, made a sweeping denial of guilt. The jury was out three hours and twenty-nine minutes, and returned to the courtroom once for further instructions. Judge Shispard remanded Magruder in $15,000 ball for sentence next Thursday. Former Representative Warren L. Lee, counsel for Magruder, informed the court that he would appeal. THE LIBERTY OF THE ACCUSED The following article specially written for The Negro World by a Counsellor eminent in the law will be read with special interest just now dealing as it does with the fundamental principles of the law underlying the granting of bail. The liberty of one accused of crime, before trial, during trial, and even after conviction in a court of original jurisdiction, is one of the most jealously guarded and most humane privileges coming within the purview and contemplation of American jurisprudence. Bail, in this country, is regulated by constitutional and statutory provisions: Article 8 of the Constitution of the United States provides "that excessive The Voice of Protest Is Heard in Scores of Telegrams From All Parts WASHINGTON, July 18.—A united protest from many Negroes throughout the country against the recent conviction in New York of Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was voiced today in scores of telegrams addressed to the Washington office of the Associated Press. Each of the messages represented sentiments expressed at Negro mass meetings yesterday. They came from nearly every State and were identical except for the number of persons reported as an attendance at each local meeting. "We, loyal Negro citizens of the United States," said each message, "at mass meeting assembled, beg to register with our white citizens, through you, our protest against the injustice that has been done to Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, his frame-up conviction in New York, and denial of bail pending appeal. "We sincerely hope that the white press of our great country will turn on the searchlight of justice and thereby maintain the honor and glory of our fair institutions of justice." Various protests have been made to the White House and Department of Justice, but the department has announced that no action will be taken which will interfere with the handling of the case by the district court. Inflammatory messages to the Negro press? Why this discrimination? Why this injunction? If Garvey had a fatal and impartial trial why should he be railroaded to the penitentiary pending his appeal? The courts higher up may reverse Judge Mack and declare that the verdict is not in accordance with the evidence. We are making no defense for Garvey. Garvey is only an incident, but we are making a plea for the constitutional rights and immunities guaranteed every American citizen—a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers. That is all, no more and no less. That brings us back to the question, what will it profit those who brought about the conviction and undoing of Garvey? What will it profit those agents of the N. A. A. C. P. who circulated a document calling for the conviction of Garvey and who appealed to the white folk to ball shall not be required." The statutory regulations amplify the constitutional privilege provide inter alia that ball shall be admitted upon all arrests in criminal cases where the offense is not punishable by death (U.S. Revised Statutes, Section 1015). Another statutory provision says that ball may be admitted in criminal cases where the punishment may be by death provided that in such cases it shall be taken only by the Supreme Court, or a Circuit Court, or by a Justice of the Supreme Court, a judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals, or by a judge of a District Court. The statute makes granting of ball in such circumstances discretionally within the province of the court, whose power shall be exercised." Having regard to the nature and circumstances of the offense, and of the evidence and to the usages of law" (U.S. S. Revised Statute 1016). A defendant accused even of treason may be admitted to bail (U. S. vs Hamilton. 3 Dallas (U. S. 17); 1 L. ed. 430; 1 Burr's trial 310). The rule well settled that during trial a defendant may be admitted to bail although the power has been placed in the discretion of the court. (U. S. vs Rice (1923 Red. 720.) The question of bail after conviction is likewise well settled in this country. That is also a discretionary power coming within the province of the court. Bail, under such circumstances, in very seldom, or almost never denied, provided a bill of exception on appeal is presented to the Circuit Court of Appeals. In numercid cases, the courts have held that 'pending a hearing in the Circuit Court of Appeals, a defendant convicted of crime may be released on bail in an amount to be fixed and approved by the court.' (U. S. v. Rillingsey 242 Fed. 330). Hudson vs. Parker 156 U. S. 8.277. Hardesty vs. U. S. 184 Fed. 260. 106 C. C. A.-411 (Sixth Circuit). Matter of Classen 140 U. S. 200. This Supreme Court of the United States in discussing this question of bail laid down the rule that "the statutes of the United States have been framed upon the theory that a person accused of crime shall not, until he has been adjudged guilty in the court of last resort, be absolutely compelled to undergo punishment, but may be admitted to bail, not only after arrest and before trial, but after conviction and pending a writ of error." (Hudson vs. Parker, 156 U. S. 277, 19 ed. 425, 15 S. C. 450). It is laid upon the authority of McKnight vs. U. S. 112 Fd. 451, and in re Classism (supra) that "the trial judge as well as the Circuit Court of Appels has the power to release as expel him from the country? What will it profit that portion of the Negro press? who demanded his conviction, guilty; or innocent? What will it profit the self-appointed and self-constituted race leaders who work day in and day out to creat a conviction of this poor, unfortunate Negro? Do these men and agencies not realize that like Haman they have built a gallows upon which to hang themselves? If the conviction of Garvey is a principle to govern American Judaism, anyone who who uses the mails will be a candidate for the penitentiary if his business falls. The men who are rejoicing at the downfall of Garvey are mostly in business and use the mails for the business they are in, and if their business doesn't pay the stockholders, any of them may sweep out a warrant against them or order them into court and have them sent to the penitentiary for using the mails to defraud. We do not care anything particularly about Garvey, but we care all for principle. We have seen Garvey two or three times in our lives at a distance, but have never spoken to him and have no interest in him further than his condition illustrate or illuminate the condition of an oppressed race in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Garvey's Great Idea The Pittsburgh American, in the second of its series of articles on Garveyism, says in part: "Educated American Negroes have a responsibility and obligation in this country that many of them have been overlooking purposefully or thoughtlessly. It concerns their devotion to the task of inspiring, elevating and training all the members of their race to fulfill the requirements of American citizenship in government and self-help. Many have seemed to feel that their duty ends with helping themselves to crime by walking over the heads and bodies of the struggling, disconsolete, discouraged and helpless of their race. They devote themselves exclusively to acquisition-getting all they can but giving nothing in return commensurate with their responsibility and obligation as "leaders." They constitute a group of self-conscious, self-satisfied, self-admiring malcontents who devote themselves in season and out of season to commercializing the difficulties and troubles of the Negro in America for self-aggrandizement; and personal profit. Their stock in trade when talking and appearing to the emotions of Negroes has been one continued repetition of their opinion that the white man is the greatest enemy of the progress of the Negro. Using his propaganda to keep the emotions and pass convicted person on bail pending the determination of the writ of error, and it is his duty to do so." The courts apparently, have gone further even after the conviction has been affirmed on appeal. It has been written upon the citation of Walsh vs. U. S., 177 Fed. 208, 209, 101 C. C. A. 358 (seventh Circuit), that "bail is a stay of proceedings arising out of, and as a part of the pendency of a writ of error." The proceedings in error ended, the right to admit to bail is ended. But the court has the power on a motion of the defendant to defer the beginning of the sentence named in the judgment for such time as within the judgment of the court is reasoned as, for instance, in case of temperance, or a necessity involving the interest of others as well as himself, that his affairs should be arranged, or an application, in good faith, being about to be made to the Supreme Court, for a writ of certiorari pending such application, provided the same be within a reasonable time. In the foregoing provisions of the law are expressed the most humane principles of our law upon which have been built the most progressive system of jurisprudence.—American Jurisprudence. ASSAILS COLORED PRESS We reproduce the following from the Boston Chronicle: "There appeared in the last issue of your widely circulated paper, dated June 30, a letter under the caption, 'Marcus Garvey—A McNace.' This letter very clearly and distinctly stated the attitude of some of the Negro newspapers relative to one of the most courageous men the race has ever produced. "Truly, the frank and title of this noble race should protest against the unscrupulous, unwarranted and illogical methods employed by these Negro journalists affecting the character and life's work of another Negro, which is merely executed by a selfish, prejudiced and personal motive. "The time has come that our own Negro newspapers should be fearless enough to present their views on any question affecting the progress of our race from an impartial viewpoint." "I Resire, therefore, to commend the gentleman, Mr. Griffin, for his out-spoken and fearless attitude in rendering to Ceasar the things, that are Ceasar's, and to God, the things, that are God's. "Thanking you for the space in your valuable column, "I am, etc. "ERNEST A. HEADLEY." We See in Marcus Garvey, Says a Contemporary One, Who Has Revealed the Possibilities of a Backward Race, a Leader Who Has Succeeded in Solidifying His People, One Who Has So Endeared Himself to Them as to Win a Devotion and Loyalty in the Midst of Trials That Is Admirable Robert McGruder, White, Presideht of Johnston's Shipyard Corporation, Convicted on Thirty-four Counts in an Indictment for Fraud by a Federal Jury, Is Granted Bail Pending Appeal 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. Beware of them! Keep us informed of their activities. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT, UNIVERSAL NEGRO-IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. W. H. SHERRILL, 2nd Asst, President-General, C. S. BOURNE, Chancellor, ROBERT L. POSTON; Secretary-General. New-York, July 2, 1833. sions of the race aroused, this group of star lecturers crawl and creep in and out among the masses of Negroes like ants storing up for winter. And when they have succeeded in getting all the money they need for a rainy day in life every one of the hypocrites retries to his hole to rest in peace and comfort until the Grim Reaper comes. These self-advancing propagandists have succeeded in doing just one particular thing during the past ten years. They have convinced the majority of the race in this country that none of them were fitted to be the "Negroes" choice of a race Moses, and that all of them had determined to find the joy and comfort they coveted in life by retailing an endless story of Negro troubles and white people's devilty without ever pointing a way out along which they themselves were willing to lead or follow. They have cultivated a field of misatisfaction, distrust, hatred and hopelessness among American Negroes, but presented no great program or object to inspire the race to have faith in itself, hope, trust, and confidence in Negroes generally. In consequence our American Negro millions have been waiting expectantly for something or somebody to turn up to awaken and inspire. The field has been ripe, but there were no harvesters. Garvey Appears in America During this period of uncertainty, hopelessness and despair among the masses on account of the aimlessness and neglect of American Negroes presuming and aspiring to lead the race. Marcus Garvey chose America as a dale ripe for activity and leadership to mobilize the masses of Negroes. He audibly felt that Negroes the world over could be aroused and awakened to the consciousness that they were somebody, that they could make themselves something more, and that it was entirely possible for 100,000,000 Negroes of the world to launch and complete a program which would convince the entire world that Negroes meant something more to it than objects of hatred, abuse, misuse, mistreatment and misrepresentation by the rest of the human family. Marco Garvey was unquestionably named in the view. He, Jambed in America with an idea—one bigger and more inspiring than had ever before been proposed to the soul-weary Nerves of this country. It was too big for those American Negro "leaders" who believed their small ideas proposed fitting solutions for the permanent settlement of the troubles of the race. Marcus Garvey's idea was so big that it failed to attract the attention of the vain, the selfish and "jealous until it appeared to be taking root among the masses. When it seemed so, then began opposition which turned to jealous hatred and later perception by the small-hearted group depending upon earning their bread and butter everlastingly by pretending to really serve their race in America. The masses of the, race were taking Garvey seriously. He was about to become "The Negro chosen by Negroes to lead Negroes"—the very thing vain-glorious American "leaders" had been advocating. It would never do now, something must be done to prevent it. And thus (Continued on page 2) ASPIRIN Say "Bayer" and Insist!

Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. AN UNMISTAKABLE SIGN OF THE TIMES Negro press have begun to take new views of the Garvey situation. Papers throughout the country whose views must be taken into consideration upon all issues affecting the Negro at any crucial time in their history, whose editors are men of broad vision, and who are active litterateurs in newspaperdom, are focussing their intellectual telescopes upon this question. We at no time as an organization had the slightest doubt in our minds that when a crisis confronted us, we would have the unstinted support of these master minds, so long as we were right. We note with a deal of gratification articles appearing from time to time in Negro papers, in serial form and otherwise, as well as editorially, and we believe that it is with a true spirit of manliness born-of self determination which not only affects the Negro at this time in the history of the world, but the human family as a whole. The program of universalism affects the Negro as much as the Jew, Caucasian, Mongolian, or any other racial group on this terrestrial ball. The Universal Negro Improvement Association since the trial and subsequent incarceration of Marcus Garvey in the Tombs, pending an appeal without bail, has gained world wide notoriety. We lay no particular blame at the door of this great government, we lay no particular blame at the door, of any particular group of white men, but suffice it to say we know with the fullest assurance where the blame lies. And it is our determination to use caution and perspicacity in dealing with matters affecting this particular situation. Much has been said by persons ill-informed concerning the attitude of the United Nations Association. Many of these persons have misconstrued, misinterpreted and in many cases falsified in making such statements, through malice or prejudice, but such are more to be pitied than censured—for they truly at this time show to the world their imbecility. We, as a race group, for centuries have already been misunderstood enough; therefore, this is not the time for those who can think to continue this attitude within ourselves. Hence we are assured that the Negro is ready to unite. We take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation of the editorials appearing from time to time protesting against the manner in which our leader, Marcus Garvey, has been dealt with. At this time, when the crisis, not only confronts the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but the Negro peoples of the world, the folds of true brotherhood find their natural place, and they who oppose must be placed among the unfortunates, which class has already been referred to. This is proof positive that the Negroes, who seemingly would appear to the outside world disjointed, can be united when a question affecting the race as a whole is at stake. The unifying of the Negro can be brought about without coercion, where racial pride is at stake. Today, the Negro is determined to hang together now and forever hereafter. Negroes, today, stand shoulder to shoulder with the white man, and "Where two strong men meet, there is neither breed nor race." We are grateful and proud of the attitude maintained by these newspapers. We would advise and encourage all liberty loving Negroes to read, study and inwardly digest the publications in the papers that we have reproduced on another page. Let us then unite with these people who are this time uniting with us, because unity is the only means whereby these plans can be effectively put into execution for the moral redemption of our Motherland, Africa, and the emancipation of a down-trodden race. "ATTITUDE AND ENVIRONMENT" THE New Negro is destined to be evermore, among the foremost in the great cycle of present-day progress, regardless of the many obstacles and hindrances that may be thrown in his path by the old-fashioned and obsolete Negro—that bunch of Negroes who are content with existing conditions, and who are satisfied to be the victims of their environment; but it is not so with the New Negro, who realizes that man is not of necessity the victim of environment, but should so subject himself to the adaptability of his surroundings as to become the master of such surroundings should the occasion arise. Therefore the New Negro today presents to the world at large a new attitude. And that attitude a fearless and undaunted upstanding shoulder to shoulder position which must demand for him the respect of all peoples, races and nations, and he is determined not to allow himself to be any longer fooled, neither will he permit, if within his power, his less fortunate brother to again become the slave of existing conditions. His slogan is "Onward! Upward!" back to the glorious heights from which he came, making all obstacles stepping stones to success. Hence he is adapting himself to new uses and greater attainments without which we cannot expect to scale the glorious heights to the fame of his ancestors. Therefore with this single object before him, with greater insight of things material, thereby preparing himself that he may be more able to surmount the various obstacles which may from time to time confront him in his onward march to this new and better day, it is wise for him to keep his eyes open, his ears well tensioned, and his mouth closed. Unless for good reasons. It is also well for us to keep his mind on the short so that being mentally poised, he will weigh well, consider carefully, so that when he speaks, he will speak with a knowledge of what he is saying fearlessly. We at this time more than ever are anxious that our people present to the world a consolidated front, so that every woman and man will be ever willing and ready to serve with that self-evident spirit of love and unity, prompted by courage and the single hearted desire to lift up the race. And this can only be accomplished by practicing the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; thus overcoming environment and presenting to the world this attitude of which we write, and which will enable us to carry on the great work so ably planned by Marcus Garvey. THE NEW YORK TIMES ON NEGRO MIGRATION In an effort to prevent the exodus of Negroes from the South, Georgia is considering legislation which would make it a felony for any person or company to solicit labor in Georgia for any other state. The same object is being sought in Alabama by taxing labor agents $5,000 for every county in Alabama in which they seek to "lure" labor from other States. Elsewhere, notably in South Carolina, Virginia and North Carolina, fines have been imposed upon labor agents getting Negroes away. While it is thus clear that the entire South is at last awake to the danger which threatens its economic life, it is increasingly doubtful whether the methods proposed to deal with this problem are either wise or effective. Fines may deter a number of solicitors. High taxes may limit the activities of others. But a law making it a felony to encourage laborers to leave the State not only is of doubtful constitutionality, but can be so readily circumvented as to be of little practical use. It strikes at a result rather than at a cause. The real solution lies in removing the incentive to migrate. Already various Southern newspaper have pointed out this fact, and there are indications that the more enlightened opinion in the South appreciates it. It is generally recognized that, while higher wages have been the principal bait with which the Negroes have been induced to go North, there have been other reasons of a deeper sort which have had a great influence. These include the hope of better social conditions, of better educational facilities for children, of better health and sanitary arrangements both in work and at home, and of better prospects for the ambitious. In addition to the ever-present haunting fear of mob violence, there has also been a widely spread conviction among the colored people that they are not accorded fair-play. The editor of the Columbus (Ga.) Inquirer-Sun frankly admits that the white men know this and states that as a matter of fact the Negro does not receive justice in the same measure as the white man, and that he is given inadequate protection. To keep the Negro at home can be effected by improving his condition rather than by legislating against his going. In other words, by removing those factors which at present incite him to leave much more can be done than by punishing those who help him on his journey. In various important Southern centers the truth of this is being realized, and even such organizations as local Chambers of Commerce and some of the civic associations have recommended acting accordingly, and urge giving the Negro better protection, improving his schools, and helping him rather than seeking to keep him down. The South wants the Negro, and, given equal treatment, the Negro prefers the South. Unless he receives this however, no legislation nor fines, nor attempts to prevent his learning where there is a labor market will stop his migrating. THE TUSKEGEE DILEMMA THE Fourth of July parade of the Ku Klux Klan in Tuskegee Alabama, where it voiced its protests against Negro phi Alabama, where it voiced its protests against Negro physicians and surgeons being placed in charge of the hospital for colored veteran ex-soldiers gave a new angle to the race question, and a solar plexus blow to those who extol the blessings of segregation and Jim Crowism. The Caucasian citizens of Alabama say in substance, "We do not intend to hobnob socially with the blacks. We don't want them in our noble fraternal organization; we don't want them to ride in the same street cars or railway coach, or dine in the same restaurant, or sleep in the same hotel with us; and yet we are perfectly willing to get on Uncle Sam's payroll and attend Negro veteran soldiers as physicians and surgeons. We love them so much that we do not want Negro physicians and surgeons to tamper with their precious lives and bodies." There you have the Southern race question with all of its paradoxes and dilemmas picturesquely and dramatically portrayed. Now unravel the tangled skein and now resolve this paradox. It is as simple as A, B, C. In the first place, these chivalric Southern gentlemen think that it would elevate the Alabama Negro, who is fit only to be a hewer of wood and drawer of water, too much by having Negro physicians and surgeons placed in charge of a magnificently equipped hospital. In the second place, these chivalric Southern gentlemen, are willing temporarily to lay aside their aversion to the Negro when certain financial considerations are involved. Those who advocate segregation for the Negro, claim and maintain that it will give him a chance to develop self-reliance and manage his own affairs, but when large sums of money are expended for Negro enterprises black men are not placed in full charge. A quarter of a century ago Professor Cook had full control as superintendent of colored schools in Washington. D. C., but when the salaries of the teachers were raised, the colored superintendents, who succeeded Professor Cook became assistant superintendents and received their orders from the white superintendent. When the Freedman's Hospital was a small affair, Dr. Charles Purvis was a czar and potentate there, but when new buildings, were constructed and modern equipments added, and the hospital made a real hospital, a white head nurse was installed, and the colored director almost reduced to a figurehead, the white professors in the Howard University Medical School having the right of way. We don't know how things are at present. Then take Howard University, the largest university in the country for the education of the colored youth, a real university, with college courses, a teachers' college and professional schools. In intellectual equipment and brilliancy as speakers and writers, Professor William S. Scarborough, Bishop J. Albert Johnson and Bishop Levi J. Coppin can compare favorably with the best presidents that Howard has had in the past forty years, and in some respects are superior to the present incumbent, and yet they and no other colored scholar or divine have been called to the presidency. So the conclusion seems to be, if the Negro is segregated and something big is provided for him by his Caucasian friends and hundreds of thousands of dollars are expended, the Negro will not be placed in full charge or control. Twenty-five years ago the country was in ecstasy, Dr. Booker T. Washington had presented a pleasant and palatable solution for the race question. All that the black brother had to do was to efface But Dr. Washington's colored critics did not take such a remote view. They held that his "Atlanta Compromise" was only a noose which temporarily allayed the fever and postponed the crisis, but did not cure the disease. They held that as long as the Negro would accept the status of balk a man in the South all would be well, but as soon as the Negro desired to rise to the status of full manhood—then would come the challenge. Recent developments at Tuskegee seem to verify that prophecy. THE U. N. L A. IN NEGRO HISTORY REGARDLESS of the success or failure of the various industrial projects which have emanated from the U. N. I. A., it marks a new stage in the Negro's evolution. During the past fifty years the various Negro uplift movements, educational, religious and social, have been supported in whole or in part by Caucasian philanthropists. The U. N. I. A. is the first Negro movement of large proportions which has been supported from the beginning to the present wholly by black men. That is an innovation in Negro history. The fact that some of the industrial efforts which were the offspring of the U. N. I. A. did not immediately attain the desired success is only a temporary handicap. But the fact that black men and women, who, for the most part, earned small salaries, were willing to make sacrifices and dive down in their pockets to donate one or more dollars to help an uplift movement, that means much to the future of the race. When a race acquires self-reliance, when it manifests a desire to help itself, whatever its mistakes of judgment or inexperience, it is on the road to the summit of achievement, because it has generated from within the driving force to keep it going. INTERESTING IMPRESSIONS OF AN HISTORIC TRIAL GRAPHICALLY TOLD SIDELIGHTS BY A SCRIBE-IV tence. An impassioned and piteous appeal for mercy by the offender follows. He lets the court know he has never been in trouble before. He has served four years in the war, wounded five or six times, and knows what it means to be orderly. He has been framed up he pleads. Who will take care of his wife, soon to become a mother? The course is mollified. The sentence is reduced to two months. As the expiration of the sentence, the court orders, the man is to be held for the Grand Jury on another and more serious charge arising from the same offense. So the case opens. It is a very sultry afternoon. Everyone is rather peevish. There are "objections" and "exceptions" galore. Not a breath of air is waited through the windows of the courtroom in the old Postoffice Building. Marcus Garvey is examining a witness. He pauses and delves into documents to obtain the data for his next question. Silence reigns. An automobile backfires on the street below. Startled! No, scared, a juror almost jumps out of his seat. Attorneys and spectators exchange furious glances. Prosecutor Mattuck looks pleased. Judge Mack tries hard but ineffectually to repress a amile. Quiet laughter is general. The juror in question, recovering, grins shamefully. The incident passes. But thereby hangs a tale, sad, and grave, and tragic. The trial proceeds. The prosecution rests its case. The friends and followers of Marcus Garvey, shareholders of the Black Star Line Steamship Company throughout the country are in high glee. The Government's case is weak, palpably weak, they say. The defense is on. The "Tiger" is vindicating himself. There is general rejoicing. But what is this? The New York "Herald" on its front page in glaring headlines tells of vile threats by millions of Garvey to assassinate the representatives of the Government engaged in the case. Battalions of death are drilling daily and nightly in Liberty Hall, New York City, meeting place of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and cradle of the new Negro's new hope. Arms and then man, the "Herald" chants. A gullible public is told that the Government prosecutor, Maxwell Mattuck, is receiving letters forewarning him of the horrible death that awaits him and his wife of Marcus Garvey's head is injured. There are arms and ammunition stored away in Harlem that will precipitate the greatest blood-letting of a century. Oh, citizens be warned! Ring for the police. Send them quickly, detectives and homo squad men and secret service men and marshals and still more marshals, to the old Postoffice building. Justice is in danger. Let Judge Mack be guarded night and day. Trail Prosecutor Mattuck. Protect the jurymen. See that the State suffers no harm. What if a juryman is startled, even scared by some loud report breaking is upon, the stillness of a court of justice, some one may ask? What if the man is a nervous wreck or, courting sleep, is suddenly brought back to normaly, some wit may inquire. What harm or good accrued therefrom to Marcus Garvey or anyone? Jurymen are but men and subject to man's frailties. Why, only a few days ago a truck backfired, on Forty-second street and cigar store clerks rushed to the doors, hurrying men and women grew apprehensive, and even a traffic cop turned and looked. What is there in that to merit recounting, O Septhe? Back up, good sir. All very fine and well rendered. But every why hath a wherefore. The juryman was no nervous wreck. He was in no deadly combat with Morphius when the terrible shock came. He merely mistook the back-fire of the automobile on the street, two flights below for the report of a firearm inside the courtroom. The incident should not have created a sensation in a judgment hall where the indictment of a race was in progress. It was in the light of all the extraordinary happenings in that courtroom in the course of that most unusual trial that the incident was viewed, happenings which should make the blood of every lover of justice and fair play boll. And so it was that during the closing stages of the case, of the United States against Marcus Garvey a score or more of sleuths, reinforced at times by uniform policemen, kept guard in the corridor outside the court room and inside the court room too. Visualize the scene. In half an hour the day's proceedings will begin. Stationed at the door, detectives set in the crowd one by one. The prosecutor proceeds from his room to the court room, flanked by two detectives. Judge Mack arrives escorted by six or seven members of the bomb squad. He mounts the steps to the bench. His protectors take seats in chairs specially placed between him and the door. Three or four sleuths are seated among the spectators. They can not conceal their identity, for all their neighbors are ebony-hued. As many more stand around and patrol the room. A dread atmosphere of danger settles over all. The proceedings begin. In such an atmosphere fair play and justice rule. This juror, like all the others, had been made to feel that his life was in danger. Poor man, any moment he expected to see one of the spectators on some witness for, the defense, or one of the defendants, or their attorneys, or Marcus Garvey himself, suddenly flash a .38 in either hand and let it at bench and bar and jury box, cleverly, cunningly, damnably an atmosphere of death and danger was injected into the courtroom, where, four Negroes, and one in particular, were being tried for having essayed the biggest enterprise Negroes have over attempted since the pristine days of Ethiopia's glory. Every juror felt his life was in peril; that Judge Mack and Prosecutor Mattuck were on the brink of the grave. So they were made to feel. It was heartless, then, for spectators or anyone else to laugh at the juryman's agitation. The poor man's plight should have evoked sympathy and pity. And wherefore? Prosecutor Mattuck has received threatening letters and anonymous missives from Garvey's sympathizers. Did it not strike the prosecutor that supporters of Garvey would have his interests more at heart than to do so silly a thing? Did he not know they were determined to give no semblance of excuse for any such show as was staged in the old Post Office building? Did it not occur to his well trained mind that any letters he received threatening death and informing him of Garvey's arsenal in Harlem were the work of Garvey's enemies? Does a prosecutor take notice of every anonymous letter he receives? Is it fair to build a barrier of prejudice against a defendant all on the strength of some nondescript letters? Op. Mr. Prosecutor! Is it really a fact; can it be true that you felt your life and the judge's and the jurors were endangered? Surely you must --- View the picture, if you will. The trial opens. A young man, a hard-working young man, a Negro, a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a subway porter, a man with a young wife, who is an expectant mother, is dragged into court. He is charged with contempt of court, in that he has threatened with death two witnesses for the prosecution. He is tried on the spot. The jurors, let it be said, have been asked to retrial. Attorney, Matthews, counsel for one of the defendants in the major trial, is assigned to defend the man. Witnesses are heard. The two men, whom he is alleged to have threatened, give evidence. Do does a man, whom the defendant names, in his despair, as likely to vindicate him. He is found guilty. Six months' imprisonment is the sea- were burglar and was apprehended. We were in the house when the insurgent shouted, "Defend me was the master mind of the invasible plot to send our lives!" Was it you, and if so, was it that caused an unexpected failure to be the most damaging problem against a defendant in a court of law? Here was a wonderful man accompanied with the authors of this vile volume. And despite all this there are you persons to be found who will look you in the face and say, "Garvey had a Talk and impartial trial." How in the name of all that is just and right could those twelve jersey men, artillery of Garvey's fate, enter the jury room at the close of the case unjustified and unbiased? Jurors are but men not demigods. Methinks I see a juror leaving home on the morning the New York "Herald" scandalised decent journalism with its shameless and nouncement. He had breakfast. His wife escorts him to the door. "Be careful, dear," the weak spouse says, "You never know what that terrible man Garvey might make his people do. If there are fireworks, fall on your stomach, as you tell me you used to do in the army. How I wish this case was over!" "And his reply: "Very well, dear. I am no coward, as you know. But, honestly, I feel just a wee bit uncomfortable when I enter the court room. But never again. We will place him where he belongs." Yes, jurors are but men. They have wives, as other men have, who love them and who influence them. Shame on a scheme which exploits the weakness of womankind! But, perhaps, all is indeed fair in love and war. War has been declared on the Negro's hope, on the Negro's aspirations. "God," some great Caucasian warrior has said, "is on the side of the strongest battallions." Is he? It cannot be. The strategy of the enemy is bad, rotten to the core. Oppression will weld Negroes together. The trial of Marcus Garvey may yet prove to be a potent factor in accomplishing the aims of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which he founded. Marcus Garvey in chains may yet prove a greater, spiritual force than Marcus Garvey free. (To be continued). CHURCH LEADERS RISE TO TUSKEGEE'S DEFENSE Threatened Interference with Institution Would Be Lasting Disgrace, Say Methodist South LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. C., July 12. The Social Service Commission, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in annual session here last week, gave out a statement expressing appreciation of Tuskegee Institute, and declaring that any interference with the institution would be a "lasting disgrace to Southern civilization." The statement was as follows: "Inasmuch as there has come to us through reliable newspaper reports and private sources of undoubted reliability information that the interests of the great institution for colored people at Tuskegee, Ala., are seriously opened by threats of organized interference. "I resolved, That this commission put on record our appreciation of the incalculable value of that institution for the training of our colored fellow-elf-izens, and declare our unalterable conviction that any invasion of its rights or interference with the orderly pursuit of its lawful and benevolent laborers would be a calamity to the institution, and a lasting disgrace to our Southern civilization." The action of the commission, of which Bishop James Cannon, Jr., is chairman, was called forth by the recent parade of the Kliu Klux Klan at Tuskegee and by other efforts to intimidate the institute, because of its supposed attitude in the controversy relative to the new government hospital for colored veterans. The statement is considered very significant as representing the leadership of one of the greatest Southern denominations, with a membership of 2,500,000. It indicates the prevailing attitude of the best people of the South toward Tuskegee and other Negro institutions. BUSINESS SUPPORT Business enterprises conducted by our people should receive the hearty and enthusiastic and united support of our own people. This is a proposition to which there will be given hearty assent, but with a very important provisio, which is this: Provided they are deserving of support. By this it is meant that they should give the same competitor. For example, in order that we may make our meaning clear, a colored man who is conducting a grocery store cannot reasonably expect his people to patronize him if his vegetables are stale and pay him the same service for the money as their business price for stale vegetables that he has to pay his competitor for fresh vegetables. If his vegetables are as fresh as those of his competitor and sold at the same market price, he deserves and should receive the patronage of his people; if they are not he does not deserve their patronage. The colored grocer having limited capital may not be able to carry as large a stock as his competitor, but his stock can; be fresh and attractively displayed and his store neat and clean and he will get the trade, because he deserves it. Of course, some of his people will think that his competitor's sugar, for example, is a little sweeter than his. That is to be expected, but he will get the support of a sufficient number to help him build up his business. And what applies to a grocery store applies to other lines of business. What the public is looking for in services and the man who can render the service will get the business as a general proposition—the "Monitor," Omahk, Nab.

George Harris was ousted from his seat on the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday, July 19, and John William Smith, the Democratic candidate who was declared defeated at the last scelion, eighteen months ago, was awarded the seat. After the election in November, 1821, the defeated candidate challenged the correctness of the count, and the matter was referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. A complete tabulation of the vote cast on Election Day was made and it was found that Mr. Smith had a majority of 47 votes over Harris. And, although the committee's action has been somewhat tardy, it exemplifies the truth that, "though the mills of the gods grind slowly, they grind exceedingly small." As soon as it leaked, out that there was a probability of his being unseated Harris began moving might and main to try and save his job. Through his counsel, Abraham Brekstone, he obtained an ex-parte order from Justice Ford to restrain the Board of Aldermen from accepting the report of the Election Committee until they appeared before him to show cause for taking such action. Alderman Smith, however, was not to be beaten by any such tactics, and no sooner was the order served than he had counsel to appear before Justice Ford and had the ex-parte order set aside, as he convinced the court it had no authority to restrain a legislative body from deciding who shall sit as members. The board adopted the report of the committee and Harris' seat was declared vacant and Alderman Smith was culy sworn in and took his seat. The following statement was issued by Alderman Smith's counsel: "An examination of the ballots discloses a conspiracy to rob the contestant, John William Smith, of his election as alderman from the 21st A. D. As a matter of fact that evidences of this plot in a great number of instances are so glaring and apparent that criminal action would not be amiss. I have in mind the condition of the ballots in the 20th E. D. where a great number of ballots which were properly marked by the voter with a black lead pencil had other cross marks, in ink placed upon them, unquestionably by someone other than the voter and after the ballots had been opened to be counted. "I objected to hundreds of ballots that were counted for Harris as alderman, because they were void under the provisions of the election law, and under the decisions of the court." The Unkindest Cut of All Harris last week bluffed about his being renominated by his party, but at a meeting of the Republicans of the 21st A. D. Dr. H. O. Harding was selected as the regular Republican can- GET-ON DO U WANT TO FORGE AHEAD? Is your business undertaking bringing you net returns? Or would you like to increase your output?

ZURA KINKOUT is based upon a great, new scientific principle thought to have been originally conceived by Queen Zura of the ancient Moors, probaby the most handsome woman who ever lived. The secret was lost and has been discovered by modern professors of hair health and research, to whose uniting work and discovery of ZURA the investigation and sent them to the courthouse where his pres- cidenthip before his trial, how he knew Amos knew will protect would be that he hove away his club and heaven was not "gotten?" What? Who told the other who were so acquaint about one of the trial and the fate of was a defendant? The "frame this man is as clear and plain lettering on a new $5 gold the conspirators couldn't keep out; they talked too much. Some authority must have said these Who was it? R. A. Byron, secretary to the Senate Naval Committee, received recently an invitation to accompany a party of Senators and other ambassades on a junket to Panama on the B. W. Chaumont. When certain Southern Senators heard that he had been blinded, they railed objection, the second that Mr. Byron had a strain of African blood, and they threatened not to go with the party. Isn't this awful, himself. It seems that up to this time Mr. Byron had successfully eluded the well-eyed ones of the "pure whites" of the South and was accepted as one of them, or if they suspected that there was a "colored gent in the woodpile" they discreetly ignored him. But when he was made a social equal they bowed the suck, pigs. The Southern white man is an adept. In identifying his workmanship, and there is a good deal of it scattered all over the South and the country generally which is passing for the real article. Mr. Byron will hardly have the nerve to accept the committee's invitation, for he is now a marked man. He has got to be a Negro now whether he wants to be or not, or change his name and habitat. So Dr. DuBois, writing to the papers, is in favor of segregation. He could do no other. The social quality bug which has been buzzing so long in the bonnets of a certain type of ethological between ties can find no safe resting place among the white race. Like oil and water they positively will not mix, one is bound to be on top, the lightest, must go to the bottom. The lightest among us, complexionally have no status ethologically A DANGEROUS ENEMY WHICH IS EASILY SUPPRESSED Bv DR. B. S. HERBEN A friend of mino once went to Mexico to do some oil business. He was a young chap who had plenty of darag and he was willing to put up with almost every sort of inconvenience if "he could stand to win" an ample livelihood and perhaps a fortune. Nothing distressed him very much until one day, as he was working at his desk, he saw a horseman—n Mexican approaching. Right through the open door rode the fellow, and barely pulled up at the desk before he toppled from the horse and fell unconscious across the papers. My friend gave one glance at the man, jumped from his chair, shouting "smallpigs" and ran to the nearest doctor, got vaccinated, and took the next shim back to New York City. Every time you let them into your home you are giving your energy to live with you, for this carry many of the most dangerous diseases, we have A. BISHOP I. E.

S. in natural history, not being a race, but a group type composed of many races. It cannot claim identity with any particular race. When it possesses one single drop of African blood, which is the bar sinister, it is dumped on the Negro race—and listed "criminal statistics of the Negro race." Perhaps Dr. DuBois has seen a vision and is getting from under before it will be too late. "Tis the sunset of life gives us mystical love. For coming events cast their shadows before." "Dr." Hubert H. Harrison, who is said to have obtained his degree from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, appears to his making-history rapidly, like Dr. Cook of Arctic fame. He is consuming huge quantities of illmight these days. Dr. Cook proved to be a huge fraud, and it is just possible that "Dr." Harrison who is not a graduate of the University of Copenhagen, as his folders state, will be exposed as was Dr. Cook for claiming honors which did not belong to him. It doesn't always pay to be in too much of a hurry to become either notorious or famous. "Dr." Harrison's acrid, tongue and vitelline and venomous pen will some day be his undoing. Miss Stella Craik, head nurse in Ward "H." Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, is one of the busiest and most thorough going young women employed, in that great institution. She is a strict disciplinarian, a diplomat, possessing rare executive ability, and a woman's tact and talent for getting done, the things she wants done. It was my good fortune to have been a patient under her care, and I had opportunity of studying her methods and observing the manner in which she "carried on," and I certainly can testify to her efficient capacity, for cheerfulness and patience. Miss Craik is a well-bred, well-educated lady, and she is in love with her work, into which she has put her whole soul, and all the energy of her nature. She is certainly one of the most competent and popular nurses in this hospital, and she is kindness and goodness personified. For instance, we have every right to believe that they may carry not only smallpox, but diphtheria, infantile paralysis, many of the intestinal worms, the dangerous summer diarrhea, dysentery and typhoid fever, beside eye infections and erysipelas. The sleeping sickness in Africa is carried by a fly—a different variety from the stable flies and the house flies which carry the familiar sickness just numed. To rid your home of this dangerous enemy that carries the germs on his legs and his body, keep food covered and see that no crumbs are left around; use garbage cans that can be tightly covered and do not leak. When the garbage collectors have emptied the can seals it before starting its use again. Kill all the flies you can and then leave sticky paper around out of the way of the children. If you know of a stable which is not being kept clean near your home or in the neighborhood, telephone the Board of Health and ask if it will not co-operate with you or some local organization in getting the place cleaned. Stables are particularly favorable spots for the breeding of flies. One fly killed before the eggs are laid will prevent the formation of about 510 pounds of flies in the next forty days. PHILOSOPHY IN BRIEF Self-sacrifice service has to be sweetened with appreciation in last. Every man worries many women, and every woman worries some man. Measure living compulsions that keep their wives constantly guessing. A man seldom overrates himself when the tax collector comes around. Economy that is compulsory does as much good as that which is voluntary. A successful man sees things as they are, not as others tell him they are. Nature has its spices and pays for them a good deal as human nature does. A woman's idea of a happy demise is to be crushed in death in a shopping crowd. An old bachelor says that marriage quickly sobers a man who is intoxicated with love. Some men acquire a reputation for laziness, while others get the credit for being diplomats. Many a small boy finds that he has slipped up in his calculations when the slipper comes down. Some nervous people with a few dollars and no brains take exercise by making a run on a bank. Never judge by outward appearances. Leaders of a race are men who render service to that race. They are not the fellows who seek and secure fat jobs for themselves; and yet when a brises demands that they demonstrate their influence with the powers that be are absolutely powerless. TO AFRICA'S SON (Lines inspired by a letter received from P. P. Pahiana, on seaman.) A letter o'er the ocean, From Afric son so brave. That bears the sea-salt's freshness Borne by the west-bound wave; That brings my heart contentment And lends sweet dreams to me, As fancy paints a-picture Of that land o'er the sea; Until my foot seems treading The soil in tropic sone. Far from the white man's terror, Far from the black man's moan, On continent of grandeur, Where Nile lilps me the tale Of how it hates the tyrant And how his hand shall fall, And in the waves of azure That thrill the Southern queen; I fancy I see waving The Red, the Black, the Green. Its ripples seem to whisper; It's flag shall drape the sky; And warn the foe of justice "Tis danger, to draw nigh!" I look up the missive From native shore I love— Would I could send a missive Swift by some fleeting dove; Gaze on the features noble Of sender, and a tear Bids me to whisper gently: "I would that he were near; Not here where tyrants trouble; But there in sunny clime Where freedom's heart is throbbing, In Egypt's land sublime!" The miles and miles divide us, I clasp the hand that penned The letter in my fancy— I feel he is my friend. I am Columbia's daughter; He is an Afric son; But hatred of oppression Marks our hearts beat as one. God bless the Afric banner, The Red, the Black, the Green; The sender of the letter And save the Southern Queen; Fold o'er my break its emblem Tonight, if I should die. With jetter of the sender, And let the three stripes fly! —Ethel Trew Dunlap. 1507 Allison Ave., Los Angeles, Cal. -SHALL IT BE YOU? Someone the world's better day bring in; Someone the work that is harshest to do; Somebody must—shall it be you? Someone must carry the weaker one's load; Someone must blaze through the forest a road; Someone must lead o'er the path that is new— Somebody must—shall it be you? Someone must stand in the thick of the fight; Someone must strike for the brave and the right; Someone must die for the pure and the true; Somebody must—shall it be you? THE CATS PAJAMAS Beautiful silken nighties in a window attracted the attention of the Woman. And then she noticed across the top of one of these nighties some cats embroidered with much cleverness. Playful cats they were, but even in their embroidered faces they looked "catlike" as, of course, they should have done. Just some cynical male fashion creator decide on this touch, or was it a creation for some flapper who could explain: "They are certainly the cats' paumas." LIBRARY NOTES Next Friday evening, July 27, at 5:30 p.m., there will be a Dunbar evening for children and their parents at the 135th Street Branch Library. Mr. Richard H.

The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begs of announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department officer or employee of the Organization will please write to COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT P. B.-If you love the Organization and destre to see it improve its service to the race, then you will not fail to report any irregularity as the part of official officers and employees of the Organization, caring for whom the person be if he or she has done anything improper or unsuccessful, report it. If you have any conglimate send them in now and don't wait until it is too late. Scope of the tailored suits are delightfully practical and out on the simplest of lines. Brown gabardine composes one of these tailleurs, which has a plain, straight skirt and a short jacket fastening on the left hip with a fahoy medallion of brown silk braid. The jacket fastens on the left shoulder and the front has a simple braid medallion. Among the summer frocks there is one model likely to become extremely popular. It looks well on both the alim and the plump, the young and old. This model has an accordion-folded skirt, and it is likely to be supplemented with a little cape, also accordion-plaited. That pleasant combination of colors, dark blue and biscuit, is seen in a surprisingly large number of street frocks. These frocks are likely to be of gabardine or heavy silk maracau, with a piping of biscuit satin or with panels faced in biscuit. The slender silhouette is achieved in a number of ways this season, but for way is more popular than the long side panels which cut the breadth about the hips and give a graceful hemline. A gown of white brocaded velvet has a band of sable about the hem and outlining the very short sleeves. It has a full, bourfant skirt and a close-fitting bodice. A most attractive fan of black lace is mounted over green chiffon. The pattern is outlined with small black sequins. A FINE MAGAZINE The July issue of, "Opportunity," a magazine published by the Department of Research and Investigations of the National Urban League, contains a number of very readable articles. Among them are "Race Relations and Public Opinion," by Graham Romerey Taylor; "Public Opinion and the Negro," by Charles S. Johnson; "A Librarian in Harlem," by Miss Ernestino Rose; "Industrial Housing for Negro Wage Earners: An Experiment"; "Community Service Training School"; "A Group of Negro Artists," by Francis C. Holbrook, and "Negroes at Work in the United States." In her interesting article, "A Librarian in Harlem," Miss Ernestino Rose, the deservedly popular librarian of our Harlem library, says: "The 135th Street Library itself is the most active experiment station for racial readjustment. Two Southern girls have been on the staff during the winter, one as a permanent assistant, one for practice work during her student course at Pratt Institute. The first, characterized by a certain thoughtful radicalism, has gained a background and foundation for her opinions. The latter is learning that educated and refined color" girls are of the same stuff as white, and that they may live and work together." After giving a brief resume of Negro artists and students, Mr. Francis C. Holbrook, in his article on "A Group of Negro Artists," concludes: "There has been an increasing number of exhibits of Negro painting during the past few years, all of which served to indicate the rapid progress that the Negro is making in art." "The work of immortalizing on can- vas or in stone the story of the Nego race awaits the man or woman so impired." Subject: "The Dews and Madness of Life." III.—"Here Are Mysterious Processes in Life." Who understandsthe dew? The scientist is the first to disclaim comprehension. We know a few things about it, but so little. Dew is a "phenomenon" in the most popular and positive sense of the word. It is one of the common things which pass knowledge. Who understands manna? The very word carries the idea of mystery. It connotes an inquiry: "What is it?" If you say that manna was a sweet gum or resin you have not explained the showers of manna. Suppose, with some critics, you state that it was not miraculous in itself, but was simply a gum of Arabia, you have not accounted for the regular and pleniful fall upon the island of Israel. Did any one ever yet give, a satisfactory philosophy of either dew or manna? None can evacuate either gift of its mystery. And life is full of mysterious processes. There is a mystery about the ordinary' and mystery about the unusual. The text says the dew and manna both fell "in the night" and that seems to heighten the mystery. But, be it night or be it day, mystery reigns. We hardly understand anything. If we give up religion because of its mystery, both logic and honesty will compel us to surrender a host of other things, for they are instinct with mystery. Is there any adequate understanding of a blade of grass? You cannot escape mystery. The human blood is made up of millions and millions of corpsecules, and each corpsecule is a little world in itself. Is that no mystery? Six million threes in every cubic inch of your brain. Impossible, you say. Certainly, says the scientist. We ourselves are mysteries. God has shot the universe through with mysterious processes. Both dew and man are mysteries. Yes, and what mysterious events often befail us! Can you altogether understand the way in which God has fed you? The gains and the losses, the joys and the sorrows—how mysterious all! They are, apart from the Christian faith, utterly inexplicable. Men must not reject religion of the Bible because of its mystery. They must have a better reason than that for making the great surrender. The Scriptures acknowledge their own mystery. Moreover, in containing mystery they are skim to nature and to human nature. I cannot refuse the mystery of the Bible whilst accepting mystery of creation. Thank God for the mystery of things. Life would be a dreary monotony if there were no mystery; and you would not accept a religion devoid of mystery, for mystery is the sign of divinity. There will be something to learn in eternity, Oh, that revealing time, how thrilling it will be: "God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform." But it is equally true that "God is His own interpreter. And He will make it plain." IV. "Dew and Manna." Life Abounds in Common Meredies." When the dew fell upon the camp the mama fell upon it. It was a universal benefit. Both dew and mama were common to all Israel. Not only of a section of the dawn did the bison descend; not merely upon Moses and his family did the dew and you can do, but on the other hand, you have to look upward and upward, over and over, downward and upward, been, good and bad. It was like the things to hustle "the comma." We hastest the comma when we give our gifts. Man is improve. Adam is improve for song. God cares for all. How God transcends man! Verily we should adorn and love so praised and benighted a God. As God He is said to a lady who had religious doubts: "Never be believe any ill of your Heavenly Father. He is better and kinder than anyone else you know." Ah. He is! The good God dwarfs the best and kindest of our friends. Do not the best, grits of life bear the stamp of universality? The dew and manna fall upon "the camp." Sir Walter Scott in the latter part of his life said to a young friend: "The older you grow the more you will be thankful that the finest of God's mercles are common mercles." It is profoundly true. God maketh his sun to rise upon the evil and the good, and sendeth rain upon the just and the unjust. Sunshine and rain are common mercles. The air is common property. The beauties of nature are for all. Seas roil round all coasts. Light beams on all lands. Birds fly in the universal air. Stars shine in the all-encompassing sky. The Apostle Jude writes of "our common salvation." Peter speaks of "the common faith." What mercy that at "Israel camp has these ineffable boons!" "This honor have all his saints! Whether you be rich or poor, wherever you are. If you will but accept the common salvation and receive into your nature the common faith you shall find that life's noblest good is indeed like the dow and manna of old, for the whole camp. Do you remember anything else that is described as common? Moses spoke of the "common death." You tell me death is not a blessing or a mercy. But it is. Recall that fine-saying of Schiller's: "Death cannot be an evil, for it is universal." Granly true. No universal thing can in the ultimate sense be an evil. So write down "the common death" as a benediction. Is it no mercy to be enfranchised? And death is our being's enfranchised. It is the only citizenship that some of us ever exercise with freedom and impunity. Paul enters death in the inventory of the Christian possessions. "All things, are yours—death." A noble view. Thank God for life and thark Him for death. "The common death" is to be regarded as the greatest of our common benefits.

Sunday, July 15, will forever live in the minds of the people of the Columbus Division as a glorious red-letter day in connection with the great work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This day was set apart for the calling together of the colored people of America, to voice their protest against the injustice that has been meted out to the greatest Negro leader that the race has ever had. And right well did the colored citizens of Columbus respond to the call. Hundreds turned out to register their protest. The main speaker of the day was First Vice-President Edward Gray of the Cincinnati Division. He made two attiring Caddresses, one at the 3:30 service and the other at 8:30. He simply carried away his auditors with him in his eloquent speeches. Surely it was good to be present to listen to the soul stirring addresses delivered by this veteran of the Cincinnati Division, which is often referred to as the "Parent Body" of the West. The Columbus Division takes this "medium so thank the President of the Cincinnati Division, Mr. William Ware. For his interest in us, and in sending such an able speaker to tell Columbus so many good things. Then, again, two brothers, Dorden by name, from the same division, but now living here for a while, gave liberally to the fund. One gave ten dollars and the other five dollars. The spirit exhibited on this great day will long be remembered. The real success of the day, however, lay in the fact that so many who had the wrong conception of what we stand for were convinced that the program was right, and could not be beaten. One young man, who used to oppose us in the daily press of this city, was present. At the close of the 3:30 p.m. he came into the office to see the Executive Secretary and to tell him that he was thoroughly converted, that Marcus Garvey was a leader, and that he had misunderstood our movement. He wrote a public confession, which was read to a packed house. I enclose herewith his confession, which you will please publish for the good of so many others who may be laboring under the same false notion. We take this medium to let Mr. Toney know that the Columbia Division thinks very highly of his cander in the matter, a feel proud that he has been able to manfully come out as he did, and we expect to have his An Exceptional Bargain B-134 Clover-shaped wrist watch.

Opponent Who Is Now Converted To the Chairman, Members and Friends of the Universal Improvement League: For several months previous to the recent injustice done that great leader of the Negro race, Hon. Marcus Garvey, I have held the wrong impression of your association. However, of recent weeks I have been studying closely your association and from now on I am going to be strong for you. I find that the average colored person has the wrong impression of you and your work, and if you can correct this impression you can make many converts to your cause. I wish you continued and greater success in the future, and if I can aid the work in any way don't fall to call on me. (Signed) OGONNELL TONEY 197 Greenwood Ave., Columbus, O.

THE CLEVELAND DIVISION JOINS IN THE PROTEST SENT FROM EVERY STATE THE CLEVELAND DIVISION JOINS IN THE PROTEST SENT FROM EVERY STATE Despite the inclement weather our Liberty Hall at 6512 Central avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, was filled to its utmost* capacity on Sunday afternoon, July 16, at which time our protest against the injustice done our beloved president-general was made. The speakers were Dr. D. D. Lewis, Montreal, Canada; Rev. Bachelor of South Carolina; President George A. Weston and ex-President B. K. Crawford, all of whom are due commendation for so wonderful a display of oratory, as each, though unaware, endeavored to surpass his predecessor. Mr. Crawford's theme was "Religion": Rev. Bachelor's the "Necessity for Organization"; President Weston told of our beloved leader's trial and conviction, gave the object of the meeting, then paid glowing tributes to the Stars and Stripes and our own emblem, the Red, Black and Green. But the honors were tendered Dr. Lewis, who drove his arrows home in less than one-half hour as follows: Now is the time for Negroes to decide whether to rise to heights unknown, or to be everlastingly crushed and trampled underfoot. We must lay aside all prejudices, forget difficulties, and concentrate upon one single idea. The world is endeavoring to keep the darker races in subjection, by means of separation. But this cannot be, we must be united, and the sooner the better. United with a determination to do or die, in spite of opposition, money or property, "Over the top" must be our motto, if we do not wish to become the laughing stock of the world. Our opinions are many and varied, but what if we differ sometimes, it need not interfere with unity. Our colors are as the rainbow, but we are a race of one color, black, in spite of it all. Through circumstances we chanced to be born in different sections of the country, but let that not cause any anxiety. We are Negroes all, and should have one God, one aim, one destiny and our cry be Africa for the Africans. The Redemption of Africa. To redeem Africa, suffering is necessary, bloodshed is necessary, martyr- dignity necessary, and we must count the cost. We must gave a complete example of a girl who, unknown to her parents, learned of and praised the Christian religion. Of her persecution by her parents and the deadliest gossip, where she admired her father for his actions, and expressed herself as being willing to suffer and die for Jesus. Concluding he said: "Are you willing to suffer as did that girl for the cause, to die, if need be, that African, the greatest continent in all the world, be redeemed? If so, then stand up for the cause, support it and do whatever is in your power to redeem it." A splendid collection was taken while Rev. Gibson rendered a vocal ecto. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Universal Band and the choir BOCAS-DEL-TORO DIVISION FIRM TO PRINCIPLES BOCAS-DEL-TORO DIVISION FIRM TO PRINCIPLES The Bocas-del-Toro Division Held a Meeting on the 27th of June—The Meeting Was Well Attended and Gave Inspiration to Hundreds Who Assembled to Take Part in the Proceedings The principal speakers of the evening were the Rev. R. N. Whittaker, Alfred Gordon, trustee; Miss. Maude Martin, chorister; Andrew Campbell, crustee; Mr. Doyly, associate secretary; Mr. Sealy, musical instructor; Mrs. August Wellwisher, Mr. Miller, member, and C. W. Gordon, second- vice-president. The meeting was opened in its usual form by Roy; R. N. Whittaker with singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." Prayer was delivered most solemnly, when there was such a call and sorrowful surrounding that it caused spectators to gather at the windows and share in the bereavement service, whether they were for us or against us. Roy, Whittaker, in his opening address, expressed the purpose of the meeting, stating from the reading of the Negro World our leader was facing the court of justice, not defending himself, but defending 400,000,000 Negroes the world over. The reverend gentleman spoke very diplomatically about the case, and said that many Negroes had sentenced the Hon. Marcus Garvey to five years, some to ten years and others to twenty years, long before the case was concluded. He proved to the audience amid all of that might never can prevail against right. That we must have our faith in the Supreme God, who is Lord Chief Justice of all earthly judges. Next speaker was Alfred Gordon, who kept the audience spell-bound for some time showing the good that was done by the Hon. Marcus Garvey and spoke of what he heard Captain Cockburn say on the present rostrum where he was speaking from in behalf of the association, and now has become the greatest enemy to same association. He also referred to the wicked and malicious enemies who wrote an infamous letter to Attorney General Daugherty against the leader of said association, and he asked the members to stand fast in the faith of the U. N. L. A. and even if our leader he cruelly dealt with, never give up until our object be achieved, by placing the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green on the hilltops of Africa. Miss Maude Martin next entertained the audience with a song, entitled Ethiopia. Bro. Campbell, in his address, opened up in behalf of our Hon. Mareus Garvey, who once said here in this hall that men who are hold will suffer reproof, and asked the members to put away malice, hatred, envy, strife, etc., and live up to the teachings of the association. He then spoke of the traitors who were in the association, who caused our ship, the Yarmouth, to be purchased for $165,000, knowing that the same was never worth that amount and after trying to do all sorts of damages to the ship joined together to sell it for $8,000. Mrs August, an expected member, who was residing in England up to the time of the war, spoke in behal of the association. She said she had been in England for fifteen years, well settled down, not thinking of returning to the place where she was born, but after the war, through seeing the treatment mooted out to Negroes there, she was very smacked taken back. Men who joined the army, who had to go for food, were rigorously ill-treated and no one to appeal for any satisfaction. She thanked the God in heaven for this association, for even when she was a church-going person she never had the truth expounded to her so plainly as in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. She also said that this association was her school, her church and everything which was for good, for her faith has been planted in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and she shall stick closely to it and pray that the time will soon come when she will be able to, board some boat for her motherland, Afrika. Several other able addresses were given by officers and members of the local who pledged themselves to remain faithful to the principles of the U. N. I. A. At this point Rev. Whittaker, in glowing terms, thanked the audience for their attendance, after which the meeting was brought to a close with prayer and the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. On Sunday, July 8 a recent breaking crowd that peaked to overwhelming the spacious Salem Baptist Church, Twelfth street, near Bainbridge, sagely awaited the arrival of Lady Davis from New York. As usual the meeting began by one of the sub-officers and each member expressing his felicity to the U. N. I. A' and the African cause. On the previous Sunday it had been announced that Sunday, July 8, would be ladies' day, at which the Fourth Assistant President General would be the principal speaker. We were not surprised, therefore, that despite the heat wave all availed themselves of the opportunity to be present that could. Too much cannot be said of the untiring efforts, determination and zeal of Dr. Francis, who vigorously defended himself against the attacks of a disgruntled few such as are to be found in all large organizations. Dr. Francis has many admirers among the masses as well as the classes, due largely to the success he has achieved since his office as president of the Philadelphia division has been established. After this necessary and vital part of the meeting was gone through with the program, was given over to the ladies to finish. A number of local women were listened to patiently, but all anxiously awaited the arrival of the Negro Joan d'Arce, Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, an international personage among Negroes and one who is beloved by all who know her and her work. As an orator she has no superior among her sex, yet, knowing this, we were surprised at her superabundant cloquence on this occasion. It has been truly said that supreme joy or great, sorrow bring out the true expression of one's soul. We are convinced that Miss Davis is sharing the suffering of her chief, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and that her every heart throb is true to this leader for the emancipation of a despair race. This is a time when loyal, "true-hearted men and women are being tested, and we are proud to report "favorable." Marcus Garvey is still in the Tombs, but his spirit is free. Men and women the world over are crying "Long live Marcus Garvey!" REPORTER. HIGH COMMISSIONER AND MRS. R. H. TOBITT Entertain Mr. I. E. Morter and Miss Lawrence, Head of the Black Cross Nurses of Liberty Hall, New York City Mr. I. E.

IN SPITE OF BAD WEATHER BUFFALO HOLDS INSPIRING MEETING In spite of the inclement state of the weather a fairly large crowd turned out to the meeting, held for the purpose of raising funds for the release of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The meeting was called to order by A. W. Thomas, first vice president, the president being absent. Our chaplain, T. Burton, after reading a passage from the Bible gave a short but spry sermon, after which S. Victor Welch read the petition and appealed to every member to sign it. The response was immediate and over the signature were seized. The Rev. Stanilal Mr. J.

They prohibit its entrance into the above-mentioned colonies on the ground that it is seditious and mischievous. Nowadays when one speaks the truth about an individual it is called slander, and against a government, sedition. Jamaica had a ban on The Negro World for many years; as the "plantoctracy" there thought that if the natives of the island were to read the interesting and instructive Negro World they would suddenly rise up and murder their masters. Due largely to the efforts of Mr. James O'Meally and the liberally minded attitude of Sir Leslie Probyn, K. C. M. G., governor of Jamaica, the ban on The Negro World was removed and it now enters freely into the island, and yet there has been no tumbling to the ground of the "plantocracy" nor any riots or revolutions to disturb the good feeling existing among all classes. The articles and news printed in The Negro World are strong, and true, but the best legal minds in the island have not been able to find anything sedimentous in them. As a matter of fact, there are newspapers printed and circulated in Great Britain which contain not only scurrilous articles against the King but tend to stir up sedimentious sentiments among the people, and yet these papers are not suppressed. Bartholes was wise in allowing The Negro World to circulate in the colony. We are sure the Little Eringlanders are no harder to govern now that they are reading The Negro World than before their acquaintance with it. We hope Trinidad and Brittany Mrs. S. M.

Winkfield flashed across the wire a winner in the President of the Republic classic race, worth 200,000 francs, paying his backers 14 to 1. Zariba, owned by a Prenechman, was second, and Ruban, owned by King Alphonso of Spain, with Lucien Lynn, American jockey, up, was third. Steve Donohue, white, three-times winner of the Epsom Derby, plotted an also ran. Whenever Winkfield showed himself on the thoroughfares jubilant natives insisted on satuting him and drinking his health. Winkfield, whose native State is Kentucky, is the famous Negro jockey who won the Kentucky Derby in 1901 astride His Eminence, and repeated the victory in 1902 riding Alan-a-Dale. He is forty years old. By CASPER HOLSTEIN President Virgin Islands Congressional Church A similarity of suffering among the darker races is creating a similarity of sentiment among their members in regard to the future relations with the white race. In China, India, Egypt, Africa, and the West Indies they have begun to stir and move, and act together as never before. The Negroes of the Western World are taking an interest in the local struggles and problems of their different groups which will ultimately blind them together in bands of solidarity and helpfulness. Graphic Patriotic Expressions The "Negro World" articles on the situation in the Virgin Islands and the continued protests of their people against government of the people by the "crackers" of the Navy Department have been carried everywhere where black people read; and many of them have written me to express their interest in the facts of the situation and their deep racial sympathy with the efforts being made by the black patriots to and from the islands, to change that situation for the better. None of the letters received has seemed more significant than one received by me from the father of a family in a Missouri town, which came to hand about two weeks ago. For safety sake, we will call him John Brown, of Callaway, Mo. A Devout Reader of "The Negro World" Mr. Brown has had his manhood stimulated by reading the Negro World and has been imbibing the spirit of the New Negro. He has awakened to the necessity of living for posterity and reading in the columns of the Negro World from time to time about the black people of the Virgin Islands standing together to demand the same inherent rights as every people under the "Stars and Stripes," he has developed the desire to cast his lot with them to the point of emigrating from Callard, Mo. to the Virgin Islands. As a means of substantiating proof of the awakening of a soul I am herewith reproducing the letter of Mr. John Brown, of Callard, Mo.; John Brown's Letter "To Mr. C. Holstein, President of the Virgin Islands: "Dear Sir: "I am writing you a few words for information of this place, as I am told by lots of people that this is a colony settled only by colored people and I have wanted to be in a place like that. Will you, please send me an outline of the Virgin Islands? If you can send me a map of this place I believe I would like to be there. If it is just like it is here. Mr. president please write and tell me all the details of this place. I am going to leave this State after this year and am trying to locate in a good place. I have a wife and four children and want them to know something beside raising cotton, so will you take pleasure in writing me of this fact. Will close for this time; hoping to hear from you real soon." Is sure to put my next on this subject. The Power of Publicity Here is a striking illustration of the call of the blood. When deep answers into deep and the tide of blood are shown to be all-powerful, and it is to this power of the printed word that we have pinned our faith in putting forward our propaganda for right and justice and equality of treatment under Old Glory. The Virgin Islands Congressional Council accepts John Brown's letter as a tribute to the sweep of The Negro World and the power of publicity which it wields. It means that Negro Americans are getting interested in the Virgin Islands from more than one point of view. John Brown's romantic dream of a liberation and release from the two pressing presence of the "Cracker" is one which found an echo in the hearts of the black people of the Virgin Islands. Unfortunately many people like Mr. Brown don't know that the "Cracker" exists also in the Virgin Islands at present. Not many of them, it is true, but still enough to require checking and control. For the sake of the innumerable John Brown here who were born in the Virgin Islands and who would like to go back, the Virgin Islands Congressional Council has been carrying on their fight to make the islands safe for democracy (Woodrow Wilson's famous declaration). Here and there and from time to time they win a victory and secure themselves forward, as when they secured a ruling of the Secretary of Labor to the effect that the Rev. Mr. Barrow would not be deported from the United States because the "Crackers" of the Navy Department had deported him from St. Croix without a shadow of legality. Courageously and consistently this body of Virgin Islanders in America has opposed the efforts of the autocrats of the Navy Department and the hissing of their black snakes in the grass. It has fearlessly exposed, the rottenness of naval rule. It has brought before the bar of public opinion the economic decadence in the Virgin Islands. It has enlisted and still is enlisting not only the patriotism of the islands, but, as the story of John Brown suggests, the widespread interest of Negroes in the United States. On the Altar of Sacrifices Virgin Islanders are being pogromed out of their inherent and constitutional rights. We on the mainland. of liberal minds, courageous spirit and bravery of THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS HAS BEEN STRUCK A SEVERE BLOW IN HAITI UNDER OCCUPATION OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT Appeal Made to the Press of the World to Arouse the Consciences of All Free People race love and patriotism—are seeking and will welcome. the co-operation of all Virgin Islanders or any brother of color who wants to help in this great work. And what is this work? We are insisting that in the system of populical government, set up by the United States there shall be no jim-crowning of the 26,000 Negroes of the Virgin Islands under the Navy Department, in which the principles of "Crackers" from the most brutal, backward and ignorant portion of the white population are in the ascendancy. We insist that since no other portion of the United States was ever put under the Navy Department there can be no reason why these peaceful and law-abiding people should be condemned to such a civil indignity. And we are engaged in organizing Virgin Islanders here in the United States to cooperate with us at home in making their protest powerful enough to appeal to the nation's law-making body, to the end that they will deliver us from this body of death. In the meanwhile we are binding our efforts in accumulating little gifts for the most needy children in the Virgini Islands. We have organized a relief committee of ladies, who are making garments to be sent to those little ones at Christmas time. And in this practical work we bespeak the active cooperation of all those whose humanity is large enough to make them feel with us. THE FREEDOM OF THE STRUCK A SEVERE BLU OCCUPATION OF AMER Appeal Made to the Pres. the Consciences of The following is a translation from the Halftian Courier, of the 15th of June: We take this means to convey our greetings and lay before you the following conditions: Louis Edouard Pouget, ex-congressman, ex-secretary of finance and commerce, ex-senator of the republic member of the executive committee of the "Haitian Patriotic Union," director and proprietor of the daily "La Poste" has been incarcerated by Louis Borne a Gimde doupeau, recognized by the American Government as de facto president of the Haitian people, for having written in his paper that Borne was traveling like a Chemeau, that he missed his vacation and that if he were not president he would be in the pententary. For these few times, Mr. Borno, who had gravidence already against L. Edouard Pouget, because he fought in 1915, as reporter of the senatorial commission, the 'convention' which the American occupation, taking advantage of the war, was jamming down the throat of the Haitian people at the point of bayonets (these words were used at Marion by Senator Harding now president of the United States, during his presidential campaign), convention which the Guadeloupean Borno defended, which caused him to throw L. Edouard Pouget in prison March 10, 1933. Notwithstanding ball offered to obtain his release, pending trial, L. Edouard Pouget has been kept in jail under the direct order of Mr. Borno. Since then every means has been used to keep him there as long as possible knowing full well that not being a culprit of any ering, a jury would give him his liberty, Mr. L. Edouard Pouget has been suffering in prison for three months without ball or trial. We must also inform you that L. E. Pouget was previously arrested in June, 1922, by the order of L. Edouard Borno, thrown into jail where he spent three days for having published copy of a new law on internal taxation written by the financial advisor for the Haitian people. On the 26th of April, 1923, Louis Borno had Mr. Jollibols arrested and thrown into jail. Mr. Jollibols is a member of the executive committee of "Tunion Patriotique Haitienne" director of the daily "Le Courier Haitien" organ of national defense and co-director of the daily "La Poste" in the absence of L. Edouard Pouget in jail. Mr. Jollibos has been incarcerated under the pretext of having insulted Louis Borno in writing in the "Courier Haitien" that Morhleur Louis Borno, in complicity with the American authorities, used corrupt methods to take hold of power and maintain themselves there and since have been exploiting the people and sucking their blood.

Last year less than 100 colored man graduated from any kind of training school in the country for preachers, and of this number was less than ten were college graduates. The average training of the other ninety for the colored ministry was about one and one-half years of grade school work. There are about 50,000 colored churches of all denominations in the United States. Shortage of preachers is illustrated by the fact that there is one white minister to every 389 white people, most of these ministers being graduated from theological institutions.

In his younger days he was a dogged opponent of British invasion of his country, and after several wars against authority and attempts on the life of Sir Samuel Baker he was deported to the Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean. When he left his country he had a family of more than 250 children and was succeeded by his forties son.

He was maltreated, cowardly beaten by the American officers of the prison, and made to do the hardest labor. As soon as he regained his freedom in December, 1922, he took up again the campaign against the American occupation and with the help of his colleagues of the Press of the World he obtained the abolition of the Provostal 'Courts' in Haiti. migr. Mr. Louis Borno, constitutionally ineligible to the presidency of Haiti, was able with the help of Colonel Mr. Dougald of, the marine corps to buy a member of the council of state appointed by the executive, who met in the evening on the 10th of April, 1827, in the house of representatives, dissolved some time ago—man-military—by the American authorities. He had the appointed officials to give him the title of president, although they themselves never received any mandates from the people. Few days afterwards, before the other president constitutionally elected arrived at the end of his term of office, the brigadier-general, John H. Russell, recognized Louis Borno as president of Haiti, and asked the innocent American government to recognize him and in so doing ratify what he had done. The day after the 10th of April in the morning, Louis Borno sent to Mr. Jolibois Leon Delean, now minister in Washington, and in the course of the interview which he had with him in his office he tried to bring him on his sole as well as that of the American occupation. L. Jolibois rejected his offers. Louis Borno did not consider "himself beaten, he sent several enquiries who tried in vain to win him over, in making beautiful promises to him.

As a alumni Mr. Josephs was arrested at different times and passed In December, 1921, under the advice of the American high commissioner, Brigadier John H. Russell, Louis Borne published an edict against the press. That edict, which is : "God Church at the press by Louis Borne and the American high commissioner, abolished ball for journalists accused of libel striking at individual liberty and the freedom of the press guaranteed by all modern constitutions in all countries. As soon as Mr. Johlbols arrived in prison on the 26th of April, the American officer in charge placed him in a small cell, and three days after, under the pretext that he had found a manuscript in his possession, that officer called Johnson, knuck cowardly the director, of the "Courier Halilien," and placed him three days and three nights in a dungeon four feet square and ten feet high covered with tin. Two men cannot stand in there. The air is not renewed in there. The dungeon was almost full of water, and he had to stand up in there with his back against the wall. A quarter of bread was given him as ration. As a protest against the inhuman treatment he was receiving, he went on a hunger strike. Public opinion was so strong against that sort of thing at Port au Prince that he was taken from the dungeon after three days. He has been in jail a month and a half, and until now he has not been brought before a judge. Mr. Borno gives each month $100 tip to a police judge called Emanuel Beauvoir, his own creation, to give an air of legality to the act. Mr. Borno had the judge to assume the responsibility, and so notwithstanding the torrents of indignation and reprobation all over the country caused by the arrests of L. Edouard Puetet and Jolffois fils, journalists. Louis Borno, strong with the support of American hayonets, appears indifferent and worries not about the protestations that all the towns in Halit signed to gain freedom for them. Well, dear colleagues, if mortal law has been abolished, if the Haitian journalists, are not driven before the Provostal Court of the United States condemned to pay a fine or imprisonment at hard labor, it is through the publication you gave to the appeal of the "Courier Halilien" in March, 1922, at the time of the condemnation of Philene Lemaire, administrator of said daily, to six months at hard labor and $300 fine by an American military court. The Brigadier John H. Russell, high American commissioner, is responsible for the wicked incarceration of the journalists, L. Loupej and Jolibols fils. We deprone him. He is not working under cover as before. He is pulling the string of the marionette which represents the government on paper of the Republic of Haiti as has said the Honorable Senator Borah of the United States. The imprisonment without ball of Messrs. L. Edouard Pouget and Jolibols fils is a defiance thrown at public opinion and a violation of individual liberty guaranteed by all constitutions, ours included, although it was written by an assistant secretary of the Navy of the United States, and constitutes Notice to the Public The Negro International and National Economic Association will hold its first business meeting and entertainment on Aug. 22, 1923, at the Phyllis Wheatley Auditorium, 12 W.

Es tan complejo, tan liso de aspiraciones encontradas, privillegios, derechos presumidos, asumidos o reconocidos, que no se hace ninguna tentativa de resolverlo por medio de la habitual conferencia diplomatica. Lo más que pueden esperar en toda posibilidad los peritos que han estado dedicandose a ello en Londres desde el 29 de junio, es llegar a un acuerdo sobre un nuevo modus vivendi. Poder de la Organización—Papel que Desempechará Nuestra Raza en Pro de su Redonciación y Adelanto—Deberá Seguir el Sendero Delineado Per su Organización Mas Prepotente—La Unión de los Elementos que la Constituyen y la Derrota de los Injustos—El Derecho Triunfará Por Sobre Toda Maldad Humana—Todas los Hombres Serán Libres Después de que Francia recibió de parte de Inglaterra la promesa de dejarle mano libre en Marruecos en 1905, fué necesaria la conferencia de Algeciras en el año siguiente y la crisis de Agadir en 1911, con la perdida de algún territorio francés en el Congo, para lograr la aprobación de Alemania. En la convención que hizo-precisia la crisis de Agadir, la Gran Bretaina convino en reconocer el protectorado francés sobre Marruecos, con, sólo que Francia conviniera en colocar la población y distrito de Tänger bajo el gobierno internacional. Después de muchas estéries tentativas para definir la exacta situación de Tänger, la Gran Bretaina propuso en 1914, cuatro meses antes de la Gran Guerra, reconocer el protectorado francés en Marruecos con tal de que Francia reconociera el recientemente establecido protectorado británico en Egripto. Esta-oferta probablement habría sido aceptada si España no hubiera tenido también el derecho de ser consultada en cuanto a la disposición de Tänger. La fuerza prodigiosa de organización hace sentir su efecto en toda iniciativa de progreso humano. Ya sea industrial, social o politicamente, es siempre el poder de organización el que habla por sí mismo, y no habrá para nosotros mejor medio en pro de la salvación de la raza que el de organizarnos. Hemos sido, somos y seremos ávejados y ultrajados por nuestra condición infortunada. La desorganización de nuestra raza le ha convertido, por centenares de años, en el material lucrativo para aquellos que vieron beneficios en esclavitud humana. Nuestra organización es un movimiento que persigue la unión y cooperación ilimitada de todos y cada uno de los elementos que constituyen la raza. Nuestra ambición estriba en estrechar mas y mas los lazos de confraternidad de nuestro pueblo diseminado por el universo, realizando que, con el Este tirando del Oeste y el Norte tirando del Sur nada podremos adquirir sino ruina, desolación y finalmente exterminio moral y material de todo cuanto prosperidad y adelanto signifiquen. De otro modo podriamos llegar a la realización, convirtiéndonos en una entidad humana, con un solo Dios, un solo Propósito, un solo Destino. Aunque la Gran Bretaña, Francia y España tienen mayores inferences comerciales que ninguna otra nación en Tanger, estos intereses no son supremos. Francia desea que sea mantenida la autoridad del sultán en Marruecos, con el evidente corolario de que sea ejerceda mediante el residente, general francés, precisamente como es ejercida en todo el protectorado con exception de la zona española, donde el califa de su majestad se supone que gobirna por conducto del alto comisario español. El punto de vista español es que como Tanger se halla encuadrado en la zona española, la autoridad del califa debería ser extendida a la población, con una deducción similar a la de Francia. El espiritu de materialización del presente siglo ha perturbado de tal modo las aspiraciones y los intereses de las razas y de las naciones, que sus ideales humanos se alejan mas y mas de la realización; pero no debemos, por tales circunstancias, sepultar o destruir principios sagrados, por la actitud amenazante de la edad en que vivimos. Las situaciones o las circunstancias no pueden salvarse, por si mismas; esta labor queda a cargo de la humanidad conciente. La responsabilidad de la obra que sobre nosotros pesa, no se reduce simplemente a nuestra identificación con los proyectos e ideales de los demas, sino crear la solidaridad del ideal que proporcione a nuestra raza una vida de felicidad ilimitada. El principal interés de la Gran Bretana es estratégico. Está en su poder Gibraltar. Con Tanger en las manos de un poderoso enenigro, Gibraltar perdería mucho de su valor y pudiera verse un día cerrada la puerta posterior de salida de la India. Así los intereses del imperio se hallan absolutamente en oposición contra que cualquiera potencia adquiera el control de Tanger. Inglaterra no demanda ese control para ella misma, aunque cuarenta y dos años antes de que adquiriera la Roca en 1704, se hallaba ya en possession plena de Tanger y lo ocupa con un título que podría equitativamente, ser invocado hoy si su diplomacia maniobrara usando ese procedimiento. Semos aún, desgraciadamente, el único grupo de la gran familia humana sin organización solidificada. Los demas grupos han participado de las grandes ventajas de organización por siglos y siglos, y lo que a ellos parece casi innecesario al presente bajo el punto de vista racial, es para nosotros una base de suma importancia, por el hecho de haber experimentado las desventajas de un pueblo diseminado y sin propósito alguno. Ningun pueblo, ninguna raza podrá subsistir de acuerdo con sus derechos naturales, toda vez que no tengan un propósito determinado. Debemos presentir el progreso de nuestra existencia con el programa de esta organización, el cual determina la unión y la emancipación de una raza. Tanto España como Francia están resueltamente opuestas a remunier a ninguno de los derechos que pudieran caberles, si Tänger hubiera de ser restado al imperio jerifiano, como insisten en que, se baga, posiblemente con un cambio de garantías de que el puerto no ha de ser fortificado ni empleado como base naval o arsenal. La Gran Bretagna, según se afirma, hallándose dispuesta a aceptar un consejo internacional bajo la autoridad nominal del sultan o el califa; preferiría mucho más que Tänger fuera administrado por la Liga de las Naciones. Nuestro pueblo carace de adelanto en toda la línea; de adelanto social, de adelanto educativo, de adelanto industrial, de adelanto político. Necesitamos la creación de una solidaridad que nos abilite para la conservación de confraternidad entre los propios y la competencia legal entre los extranos. El mundo no esta en disposición de dividir por igual los beneficios de su materialización; por el contrario, cada grupo lucha por su enaltecimiento a costas de aquellos que han perdido fé e ignoran el valor del esfuerzo humano, hacia la estabilidad de una existencia coronada de satisfacción. Preparativos Para las Elecciones Dominicanas - Segregado como esta aún, el Negro no tiene ninguna otra alternativa que la de continuar hacia adelante en la atmósfera de intrigas raciales, luchando en pro de la generación del presente y proveyendo para la generación del futuro. En sus servicios a la raza, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha delineado su programa y en su ejecución o avance no tiene que ofrecer o dar explicaciones. Es solamente de ignorantes el creer que los asuntos de la humanidad se desenvuelven por si mismo; Dios y el hombre son las partes integrantes en tal cuestión. El departamento de elecciones de la república Dominicana ha promulgado un decreto en virtud del cual queda abierta la inscripción desde el 20 del pasado junio para que todos los dominicanos procedan a hacerlo de conformidad con los artículos 64 y siguientes de la ley electoral. El periodo de inscripción quedará definitivamente cerrado el próximo 18 de septiembre a las 5 de la tarde, fecha en que expirara el plazo de noventa días pautado por la ley. El creador actua indiferentemente y sus planes y propósitos son generalmente ejecutados por medio de la agencia de acción humana. Ello no significa simplemente una prueba física, sino el esfuerzo universal e independiente de revestirse con la gloria que la madre Naturaliza ha conferido a todo ser humano. Los esfuerzos de un pueblo por su progreso no requieren explicación. Por ley natural, todo grupo, pueblo o raza tiene el derecho de crear su status político, en el cual hallará la representación y protección requeridas. El presidente Vicini Burgos ha decretado algunas reformas a la ley electoral. El articulo 21 con la reforma introducida dice así: En las primeras elecciones que se verifiquen de acuerdo con esta ley, los colegios electorales proceden a la elección de los senadores y diputados, como indican los artículos 155 y siguientes de esta ley y después de acordadas por el congreso las reformas constitucionales, de verificada o no por la constituyente y de aprobada la convención y la ley de ratificación proceden a elegir los miembros del poder ejecutivo. Con el presentimiento de una nueva vida, esta organización marcará el curso de adelanto de lo cuatrocientos millones de elementos de la raza. Ignoremos las tramas de persuación y de desaliento que a cada instante y en cada oportunidad nos presentan aquellos que todo lo creen imposible; para ellos nuestra mas noble conmiseración. El pensar en que no haya necesidad de la organización y unión de la raza, en esta era de una bien cimentada civilización, es plantear la destrucción de un pueblo cuyo conocimiento de vida es incompleto, debido al poco entendimiento del propedito humano en la creación. En el artículo, 181 de establece que todos los partidos y candidatos que van a tomar parte en las elecciones deberán expresar en sus programas su decisión de votar o de impugnar el entendido de evacuación celebrado en Washington, de manera que las elecciones sean un referéndum sobre este punto. En Ahora se ha llevado a cabo una prueba que permitirá que se encuentre en la ciudad a un tercer nivel de la república dominicana, sin que se haya disminuido el tráfico de Washington para desocupación de la república Dominicana. Hasta aqui se partido ha permanecido retraído de la hecha y no se sabe a punto fijo lo que decidan sus dirigentes en lo porvenir. La noticia, sin embargo, ha sido acogida con reservas. Manuel Quezón, dirigente politico filipino-x-presidente del senado, declaró inmediatamente a seguidas de la rentencia de los miembros del gabinete filipino y el consejo de estado y la aceptación anoche por el gobernador Wood, de que no podria contarse con que ningun filipino cooperaria en el gobierno insular, se declaró hoy que los subsecretarios assumirian automáticamente los puestos vacantes del gabinete. Se echó de ver que la aceptación de la renuncia fue una sorpresa para el gabinete. Al aceptarla, el gobernador Wood declaró que la acción del gabinete constituya un retro y una amenaza que pasaba desapercido para el. Deploró profundamente el incidente que, dijo era desfavorable para la causa en que ambos estaban interesados. Negó enfaticamente el cargo de menoprecio la ley preparada por el, dirigente Quezón y su partido. El señor Quezón, envio un informe por cable al presidente Harding en el cual hace una relación sumaria del origen de las desavenencias de los jeses de partidos filipinos y miembros del gabinete con el mayor general Leonard Wood, gobernador del archipiélago. El publico filipino observa la mayor circumspección aerea del incidente. Los comentarios en los diarios de los nativos con sobribs y previén en al pueblo contra demostraciones que pudieran ser inconduentes. Contienda que Producira Mayor Armonia Nada podría ligar tan seguridad a las dos Américas en un lazo de permanente amistad como la propuesta lucha internacional entre Mr. Dempsey y Mr. Firpo, en la Argentina. Los estudistas que se han enviado hasta ahora a Sud América, resuelven subsecretarios de estado, han habido en forma franca a los antipodas y han hecho cuanto han podido por convertirles en hermanos. Pero un secretario de Estado puede solo hacerse oir de proporcionalmente escasas personas al mismo tiempo y relativamente corto número de ellas son las impresionadas por su oratoria. Una lucha haria más en el sentido de inspirar un sentimiento fraternal en los corazones de los sudamericanos que todos los discursos que puidieran pronunciarse. Todos los hombres importantes del continente sudamericano se hallarian presentear para verla, para aplaudir al vencedor si aconteciera ser el Mr. Dempsey y para condolerse con el vencido si aconteciera igualmente ser Mr. Dempsey. Aparte de ello muchos miles de americanos que no han oidid jamás hablar de Sud Américia desde que acabaron su estudio de geografía en la escuela de primera enseñanza, irian alla a presenear la lucha en tanto que centenares de millares buscarian en el mapa para descubrir donde se halla, una vez que hubieran visto las fotografías de la pelea y las relaciones de ella. No hay nada como el trato para despertar interés mutuo entre las naciones y los continentes. Cuanto más empedradoamente Mr. Firpo y Mr. Dempsey luchen, más calido será el sentimiento de amistad entre los americanos del norte y los hispanoamericanos que les agradan. Es de esperarse sinceramente que la hucha se arreglada al otro lado del Ecuador.

MESSAGE FROM MISSISSIPPI It would require a special edition of the "Negro World" to give publicity to all the messages conveying unfalling faith in the integrity of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, which are received at headquarters from the divisions of the U. N. I. A. throughout the world. Mississippi speaks in the following message received from the tuffport Division No. 314: "As General Secretary of the Gulfport Division I desire to tender our deepest regret as to the determination of the trial of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. We hope that it is only a temporary triumph of the enemy. "I must say, as speaking for the members of Division No. 411, that we are standing ready to assist in every way that we can to help overthrow the enemy. "May God bless our great leader and fight his battle. Such Negroes as are rebelling at the conviction of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, our great leader, will some day pay the penalty. I have asked this question of those in my city: Why do you condemn the greatest leader that has brought you to the light thus for? "May God bless the Hon. Marcus Garvey and give him a favorable joke and also the leaders whom he has placed in his stead. "We are with you and the A. C. L. until death." "BERNARD ANDREWS. "Gentil Deviation No. 411." PRINCETON MAY ADMIT NEGRO STUDENTS NOW PRINCETON, N. J. - From statements made in addresses during the past year by the president of Princeton University, it is believed that qualified Negro students will be accepted in that institution. Indications are that a new spirit of unity is being developed in this city between white and colored citizens and the student body at Princeton. The general attitude is that deserving Negro students, prepared to pass the entrance examination at Princeton, will be admitted to the student body. G. O. P. NEGROES EXPRESS THEIR INDIGNATION ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 20—President Harding and the Republican Administration were criticized by Dr. George E. Cannon, Negro physician, of Jersey City, when he was elected temporary chairman of the National Colored Republican Conference, in session here today and tomorrow. Two hundred are present, representing fourteen States. "American race prejudice is seeking to rob us of all political prestige," said Dr. Cannon. "For years the Democratic party of the South has been stripping us of every vestige of citizenship by its disfrianchising Jim Crow and peochage systems. At this procedure the Republican party has looked on with silent consent, but now a vicious policy looms within our own party." Recognition given Negro Republicans by President Harding, Mr. Cannon said, had been "far-below" that accorded by other Republican Presidents. He added: "Neither can we, as true American citizens, subscribe to the policy he has pursued the first two years of his administration of not appointing colored men to office in the South."

Marcos Garvey upon the nominal charge of using the United States naval to defray war was no surprise to us. His incarceration in a jail in this country had already been preceded. He led a movement which has attracted the attention of the nations of a world, and all such movements carry with them persecution and punishment: Gandhi-in-India is now in jail. Leon Trotaky, the controlling power today of Russia, was in jail in this country. Garvey made enemies within and without and he esteranged hundreds of his followers who in turn testified against him. "He has laid the ground wk of a great scheme, which will, no doubt, be taken up by his followers. He could not tolerate opposition and he was a fighter, both of his friends and his enemies. A trap was set for him and into it he fell. He is a remarkable character, and the probabilities are that some successor may be found who will avoid the mistakes he made. The severity of the punishment meted to him is all out of proportion to the alleged charge against him." "Like all leaders, he was too human, human in his capacity to err in attracting around him so many who were with him merely for the leaves and the fishes. "We see in Marcus Garvey with all his shortcomings one who has revealed the possibilities of a backward race. The Negro race, it is often said, will follow no leader. Garvey has numbered his followers by the thousands. It is believed that the race is poor—and it is but Garvey's leadership shows the possibilities of the race adequately financing any enterprise. It is feared that the race is not loyal Yet, on every hand, in the midst of Garvey's trials, we see a devotion and loyalty that is admirable. "Garvey appealed to the imagination of the Negro, showed him the heights he may attain. In this he has rendered an invaluable service." Does Not Seem Fair At this distance, says "The Monitor" of Omaha, Nebraska, it is rather difficult to understand why the authorities in New York refused bail to Marvin Garvey, pending the appeal of his case. There are cases too numerous to mention in which persons found guilty of using the mails to defraud, second degree murder, and like offenses have been admitted to bail pending an appeal. The denial of this constitutional right to Garvey, while extending it to others, does not seem fair. It would indicate that prosecution is being followed by persecution. If so this will only make friends for Garvey and his cause. Statistics made public by the department of the Interior, which has jurisdiction over Howard University, one of the few institutions in the country for the higher education of the colored race, show that the death rate among the colored people in the United States is 17 to 1,000, or 70 per cent, in excess of the death rate of the white race. The figures further show that, while the colored physicians, and nurses only increased $32, or 29.97 per cent, in the last ten years, the number of colored undertakers has increased during the same period by $85, or 98.9 per cent. Students of this situation attribute the constant. Increase in colored undertakers to the insufficient number of physicians to apply preventives against diseases and to care for the afflicted, and claim that the only solution is to provide the necessary facilities so that colored men and women may acquire the professions of medicine, dentistry and nursing to work among their people. The same laws of health and sanitation, they assert, apply to both of the races allie, and the same safeguards, preventives and trained cephalage of colored physicians, surgeons, dentists and nurses should be applied to the colored race as are applied to the white race in the United States. Failure of the colored race, it is explained, to produce these necessary professional men and women is due to the lack of educational institutions, there being only two in the country graduating physicians, surgeons and dentists. One of them, Howard University, is unable to receive and instruct one-fifth of those applying for training, with the result that the number of graduates has been limited to an average of twenty physicians, twenty-two dentists and thirteen nurses annually during the last ten years.

Night, July 22.—Tonight witnessed Liberty Hall filled almost to capacity with a crowd consisting of legal members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and persons although not members previous to are in sympathy with the movement and the principles, which it adopts for the betterment of the race. Many of these latter persons, before the close, of the meeting tonight, came up and enrolled themselves as members of the organization, and gave the meeting the appearance of a great revival. This was done at the instance of Hom. Rudolph Smith, Third Assistant President General, who, after a careful speech in which he quoted from the most vital parts of the constitution of the association and examined in detail its principal aims and subjects, called on those who had not affiliated themselves by membership to do so. His call met withosity response, with the result that a large number besieged the secretaries' tables and made themselves full-fledged members of the association. This is an indication of the trend of feeling toward the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which has manifested itself in more intensis form since the incarceration of the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey. The successful sacrifice which, he has made himself of the race and his ethical he created a sentiment. In his favor and agreed the eyes of the people to the greatness of the organization which he has founded and the good that it is likely to produce through its preachments of a united race and a governmental status for Negroes on the continent of Africa. Mr. Garvey's weekly message from the Tombs prison to the membership was read tonight by his wife, Mrs. Amy Jacques (Garvey, as follows: Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Liberty Hall: Again it affords me a great deal of pleasure to salute you with a few words of comfort and cheer. Your splendid demonstration during my imprisonment for our cause will, I feel sure, go down in history as the sign by which we conquer.

It is a new experience to be in jail, but life is made up of variety, and I have absolutely no objection in knowing and seeing everything, so that I can, from a fulness of knowledge, better serve the cause of my race. It is not likely that our African jails of the future will be as massive as the one in which I now have my residence, but cheer will be improvements. I hope for the accommodation of those who will be in for good and those who will be awaiting their "TURN OF JUSTICE." If you can imagine what is in my mind, then you ought to be truly cheerful and happy. President-General Universal Negro Improvement Association. Prof. Jean Joseph Adam, Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, addressed the meeting at some length, and touched a responsive chord when he said that "notwithstanding all the music and notwithstanding all the amities that we may have on our faces, somebody is missing in Liberty Hall." There is an empty chair in Liberty Hall, and it will be empty until that person comes back to take his place." This reference to the Hon. Marcus Garvey evoked expressions which indicated that all are in accord with the feeling that although the organization shall go on regardless of what the circumstances may be, yet the man who is needed at the helm to guide its destinies as he has done in the past is Marcus Garvey. "The Negro peoples of the world," said Professor Adam, "need Mr. Garvey and must have him." Germany, France, and England, he added, had made an exchange of prisoners since the armistice and said he, "the Negro peoples of the world would like to know whether they want an exchange at this time for Marcus Garvey, and no matter what they want we will be able to produce it, because circumstances at this time in the world demand the presence of Marcus Garvey." Marcus Garvey, Mr. Adam declared, was not only the greatest Negro propagandist in the world, but he was the greatest propagandist in the whole world, and everybody admits it. There has not been, he said, a white man since the world began who has carried on a propaganda for a change of conditions on the world as Marcus Garvey has done for the Negro race. The Hon. William Sherrell, First Assistant President General, who presided over the meeting, spoke briefly and called attention to what he characterized as a damnable price of propaganda put out in the "New York American" of July 22. Owing to lack of time Mr. Sherrell could not discuss the article, but simply read the headlines, in order as he said, to give an understanding of the depths to which our enemies will stoop to reach the point of aggrandissement and power that they desire. The heading read: "To Kill Off Africa's Man-Eating Leopard Men Is Why the French Government' Has Asked the League of Nations to Let It Destroy Bands of Crazy Savages Who Think They Are Bloodthirsty Beasts." It is to counteract propaganda of this kind that we are still pressing on with the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and intend to press on until Negroes will be able to answer such petitions as they should. Following is the text of the speeches: PROFESSOR ADAMS SPEAKS PROFESSOR Jean J. Adams then addressed the meeting. He said: "May I not at this time thank your chairman for the able manner he has conducted the meetings in the absence of our worthy President-General, the Hon. Marquis Garvey. May I not take this means also to thank the members of the New, York local, and the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association assembled here from time to time, may I not compliment you for the manner in which you have conducted yourselves. I must hay, before I get any further, that not-withstanding, all the music, notwith- standing all the smiles that we may have on our faces, somebody is missing in Liberty Hall. There is an empty chair in Liberty Hall, and it will be empty until that person comes back to take his place. When I came to New York I felt that it would be my privilege to sit and listen to our President-General's propound the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, being its President-General and its founder, but it seems that circumstances alter cases, and now I have, and you have to be deprived of that opportunity. What in Exchange? "I wish myself that there was some way, to talk, to somebody and say, 'No matter what may have happened, no matter what you may have in your minds, no matter what you may have been told, the Negro peoples of the world need Mr. Garvey and must have him.' (Applause.) During the world war they mide an exchange of prisoners. Germany sent back prisoners to France, and France sent back prisoners to Germany. Germany sent back prisoners to England, and England sent back prisoners to Germany. The Negro peoples of the world would like to know whether they want an exchange at this time for Marcus Garvey, and no matter what they want we will be able to produce it, because circumstances at this time in the world demand the presence of Marcus Garvey at the helm. (Applause.) "They say, 'Smite the sheepard' and you scatter the sheep, but they have not been able to do that. And Caesar, before he left on his conquest tour, said, 'I am going to conquer a general without an army and, conquer an army without a general.' At this time we are trying to find out if this is what they are trying to do. Are they trying to conquer the general without the army and afterward conquer the army without the general? It is up to you, the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to prove to the world that this cannot be done, because we have too much at stake. "Since Marcus Garvey has been in carcerated, I understand that France has sent guns, ammunition, has sent aeroplanes, has sent tanks into Africa in order to carry out the real conquest of Africa by having French troops well armed to protect France's interests in Africa. Why? They think that Marcus Garvey being in jail will not be able to be in Liberty Hall and protest against it and send telegrams to the governments of the world in protest and prepare telegrams for despatch to the League of Nations protesting against this encroachment any more. What are you going to do, members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? You cannot but long to have him with you, because he was the greatest Negro propagandist in the world. He was not only the greatest Negro propagandist in the world, but he was the greatest propagandist in the whole world, and everybody admits that. There has not been a white man since the world begin who has carried on a propaganda for a change of conditions in the world as Marcus Garvey had done for the Negro race. And if you can prove it to me, I will be glad at any time to change my opinion. But, as it is now, I can truly say that no race ever produced a greater leader for a cause than the Hon. Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) The Turmoil at Tuskegee The Turmion at Tuskegee "Now I am going to talk to you briefly about current events. You have read in the papers about Tuskegee. You have read that they granted a piece of land at Tuskegee to build a hospital and that the staff at first were to be composed of colored men with white men at the head, and later it was changed that the staff should be white, and later on it was changed to have a white personnel and a white staff. Things have changed in such a way now that we do not know where we are—if we are going to have a hospital at Tuskegee or a colored personnel or not. Now I am going to say a few things about this, because I know Tuskegee. I have been there and I remained there nine months and had occasion to speak to Booker Washington very often. I know the psychology of Tuskegee. A Unique Spot Throughout the length and breadth of the United States of America you will not find a spot like Tuskegee. It is a town in itself. The teachers live there. They have their homes there—beautiful homes. They have large dining rooms, they have large buildings, office buildings and large school buildings, and before the government built the hospital they had a large hospital of their own. The spirit of freedom permeates Tuskegee. And what they want to do is to crush that spirit of liberty at Tuskegee, that spirit of freedom at Tuskegee. You may be jim-crowed outside of Tuskegee, but when you get into Tuskegee you breathe a breath of fresh air—an air of freedom. In order to kill that at the present time, because the curriculum has been raised from primary to secondary, they almost have a college curriculum, and the South does not want to stand for that, they feel the only way to kill it is to have a white staff at Tuskegee to make the Negroes feel they are Negroes and must remain in their place. Those are the conditions at Tuskegee. Kemal Pasha's Victory The condition in the world today is that Kemal Pashay has won all his points at Lausanne and Turkey is going to regain her place among the nations of the world. When Turkey regains her place among the nations of the world the Mohammedan patriots, the Mohammedan priests, will go into Africa and teach Mohammedanism to the Africans, and the ranks of Mohammedanism will keep growing stronger than those of Christianity, and it will be much easier for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to win all its points in Africa when the Mohammadans will have finished their work. So we are glad that Komal Pasha has been able to win all his points at Lausanne because of the prospect that the African will have from the work accomplished by Turkey when she shall have started a propaganda in Africa. Neuro Preparedness Marcus Garvey came from the West Indies and, speaking from Harlem, he was heard by the world. And to be able to carry out the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we must have with us the Hon. Marcus Garvey, so as to be able to be heard by the world at all times. I wonder how France feels at this time. I wonder how England feels at this time. I heard some people say that everybody is glad that they did not let the "Tiger" loose. I guess Premier Polincare and Prime Minister Baldwin must be more glad than anybody else, because Marcus Garvey has been telling the Negroes of the world to prepare. The last war did not give the Negro a chance to get his place because he was not prepared when the time came to sign peace. But the next time that something happens I want to see the Negro ready to take advantage of that opportunity. Somebody Getting Ready Now you saw where England sent an ultimatum to France saying, "I am not against passive resistance in the Ruhr, because I think that the Franco-German question should be settled or economic grounds. It is a business proposition." Now when England sends an ultimatum to France telling France just how she feels about the Ruhr question, after France has marched into the Ruhr, it means that somebody must be getting ready. France has aeroplanes, she has the armies, she has the tanks, she has the submarines. England has the great dreadnaughts, and she is preparing to put her armies in order, so that France will not have the advantage over her in the air. Under these circumstances the Negro must get ready, because we do not know what will happen. Suppose something happens, where are we going to be if we do not organize as we should? We must be organized, because we do not want the recurrence of the same thing. And you in Liberty Hall, you who have heard Hon. Marcuss Garvey tell you to prepare. That in what he is telling you to prepare for, that when the next war breaks out you will be able to ask what are you going to get out of it. In case England or France declare war on each other, we want to know why our brothers in Africa should go to fight for either side; what are they going to get when peace comes? And if we are to be drafted to help England lick France or help France lick England, why? What consideration are we going to get? Are we still going to remain at the bottom of the ladder? At the Bottom Rung I heard some comment about the Hon. Marcus Garvey making some distinction between the black man and the mulatto, and I always thought the reason why he makes no fight for mulattoes especially is because the black man is farthest down. Any time he rises, the others rise with him. So there is no necessity to make a fight about it to get him to say, "I am fighting for the brown man or the black man." When he is fighting for the black man he is fighting for the man that is farthest down. When the man at the bottom gets up everybody will be me also. A Spiritual Movement I thank the Chairman very much for this opportunity to make these few remarks tonight, and I hope you will get into the spirit of Marcel Garvey. When you talk about a spiritual movement people may dideride because they do not understand what it means. It means that the Negro has got to the point where he is looking to himself and has questioned himself, and the answer is that we must unite and build a country powerful enough in Africa to protect Negroes everywhere. That is the spiritual movement and anything I can do in order to gain that point I will do. And when a man gets up in court and accuses a spiritual movement he does not understand. They think that it is a joke. But it is to impart to the grant of Negroes that to be able to stand in the fight for the survival of the littest you must have in your mind, you must realize that you must build a country powerful enough in Africa to protect Negroes everywhere. So in closing I will say: Thou God of the ages, Grant to a son that leads. The wisdom Thou gave to the pages. When Ethiopia was sorely in need. Hon. Rudolph Smith Speaks. Hon. Rudolph Smith Speaks Hon. Rudolph Smith was the next speaker. He said he had just returned from Philadelphia, where he had attended a meeting at which a large crowd had assembled to listen to the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association being expounded and to learn more about how the President-Garvey Hon. Marcus Garvey was forging. He was pleased to say that the men, women and children of Philadelphia are standing in firmly behind the organization and have pledged themselves to support the Hon. Marcus Garvey in his fight for liberty. Mr. Smith in the sincerest manner reassured his hearers of his loyalty to the organization and to the President-Garvey and his intention to make an intensive campaign for the purpose of bringing, members into the fold of the organization. Not only in Liberty Hall, he said, did he intend to wage this campaign, but on the public throughfares and everywhere else. He was aware of the fact, he said, that in Liberty Hall were many, that were unfamiliar with the constitution of the association and some of its most vital aims and objects, and for their benefit he read such parts of the constitution that went to the bottom of the organization and laid the foundation for its existence. Mr. Smith quoted from the preamble of the constitution as follows: "The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League is a social, friendly, humanitarian, charitable, educational, institutional constructive, and expensive society." Explaining this, Mr. Smith said that in Africa there were some things like 200,000,000 Negroes, in the West Indies, South and Central America, about 42,000,000 Negroes and in the United States of America about 15,000,000. Scattered all over the world, in all there were something like 400,000,000. In all these countries there were different forms of government. The Universal Negro improvement Association realizing this division of Negroes because of nation, and color, among other things, aimed to bring all Negroes of the world together into one confederacy to make them realize that a home of their own was imperative. Quoting from the alms and objects, Mr. Smith said that the alms and objects of the association were: "To promote the spirit of pride and love." He regretted to state that members of the Negro race had more pride and love for other races than for their own, and it was the desire of the association to create pride into Negro achievements and to do this by encouraging Negroes to learn and know more about their own history. Another object of the association was "to reclaim the fallen." Many boys and girls, he said, after attending institutions of learning went out into the world and through lack of opportunity soon degenerated into the pool room, chapet and buffet-flat habitues. It was the intention of the association to oblate this by pointing them to higher callings and encouraging the creation and establishment of commercial and industrial enterprises of their own, where the boys and girls of the race would be able to find employment that would fit them above the sphere of mental workers. This object led to the creation of the Black Star Lima and the Negro Factories Corporation, which were the products of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In conclusion, Mr Smith administered the followers and sympathizers of the movement to work toward the real goal of the association, largely, the redemption of Africa, as a national home for the Negro race, from which Negroes in every part of the world would be protected by virtue of the fact that they had a government which was recognized by other nations. He then called on those present who were not yet members of the association to enroll for active membership, and as a result of his appeal a large number came up and joined the association, paid their initiation fees and dues and pledged their support for the carrying on of the work. HON. WILLIAM-SHERRILL-SPEAKS Ben. William L. SHERRILL "I want to call your attention to a damnable piece of propaganda put out in the New York American of July 22. I will not have an opportunity to speak on this tonight, for I do not want to exhaust your patience. I shall read only the holding, that you may understand to what depths our enemies will immerse in, to reach the point of aggression and power that they desire. "The heading reads like this: 'To Kill Off Africa's Man-Eating Leopard Men Is Why the French Government Has Asked the League of Nations to Let It Destroy Bands of Crazy Savages Who Think They Are Bloodhurt Beasts.'" "Think of the French Government," said Mr. Sherrill, "one of the leading powers of the world the French Government, one of the civilized nations of the world, going to petition the League of Nations to give them permission to kill human beings because these human beings happen to be weak, poor and black. If the Negro—and when I say Negro I mean that Negro that early himself if a leading Negro, that Negro who calls himself a lover of bigrace—if that Negro, together with the little Negro, does not wake up and be about his father's business, the prophecy of Marcus Garvey that in another hundred or two hundred or three hundred or five hundred years there will be no Negro race will certain come true. It is for these reasons and many others that we are still pressing on with the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and intend to press on until Negroes will be able to answer such petitions as they should, not by begging and pleading, but with big guns and big battleships."
